chapter 102
I’m replaying the fight between the two in my head.
Shin Seong-ah said in a satisfied tone.
“It was a great match.”
“I know.”
As Shin Seong-ah said, it was a battle worthy of being called a great game.
The high-level fight like just now will not come out in a few matches in the finals.
However.
“For not following my instructions. Even though we did that, we have to talk about the loss separately.”
“Take it easy.”
“What are you going to say?”
Other people might not know, but it wasn’t something Shin Seong-ah would say.
After all, it was she who poured out hundreds of magic bullets per second every time she trained, and it was she who turned Anton into a half-voice.
After all, that’s what I asked for, but… .
Okay, let’s give Anton one more chance until the revival match.
‘Because Anton’s doubling of training is already scheduled.’
We have a promise to triple the amount of training if we lose in a team match against Lim Jin-wook.
If it’s a draw, doubling it would be reasonable.
If you are lucky enough to meet Jin-wook Lim in the finals and win, should you make concessions to the line of increasing the amount of training by 1.5 times?
The preliminaries continued, and there was no change in the outcome of the match.
First year strongmen like Ben Gibraltar and Eve Ataraxia.
The talented sophomores, led by Baek Yu-ri, also advanced to the finals without any change.
“The finalist is Namgoong-Ik, a freshman.”
Namgoong-Ik also advanced to the finals without incident, but I couldn’t erase the feeling of embarrassment.
‘But I don’t know the reason for that awkwardness.’
Namgungik’s fight in the last match of the preliminaries was overwhelming.
Silently face all attacks and move forward.
I caught it and threw it out, and all nine people were eliminated.
‘It’s like Namgung-Ik to defeat it in a way that causes as little damage as possible. Should I say that I feel like I’m suppressing my strength somewhere?’
Instead of the word force, you could use the word violence instead.
catch and throw
In the preliminary match, Namgoong-Ik did not make a single attack other than that.
‘What effect did what happened yesterday?’
Namgoong-yeon, the twin sister.
And Namgung-hwi, who becomes her uncle.
Although the conversation with the two seemed to have had some influence.
I’m not exactly sure what that is.
‘You can guess… . No, there is one.’
The contradictory feelings the two showed towards each other.
Namgung-Ik, who is from the Namgung family, which can be said to be famous for swordsmanship, but does not hold a sword.
And what Namgoong-yeon said in the original story.
‘The picture appears roughly.’
It’s just a home anyway.
It is a delusion that would be a shame to even call it a family made by patching together several clichés from novels.
“Aren’t you watching the loser’s respawn?”
“Wait, I want to see Namgoong-ik.”
“I was a bit worried too. It would be better for you, Hanzo, to go alone than for me. I’ll leave it to you.”
“Okay, I’ll be back.”
After the preliminaries, I got out of the stadium where I was preparing for the revival match and headed to the players’ waiting room.
I could see Namgoong-Ik coming out of the preliminaries.
I talked to him, who looked blank.
“The situation was strange, so I came to see it. Did you even sleep last night?”
“Hanzo… .”
Namgungik’s appearance was not much different from his usual appearance.
However, the synesthesia amplified by <Eye of the Mind> sensed the flesh leaking out of his body.
Although it was weaker than the one his uncle, Namgung-hui, intentionally spilled to test me the day before.
The murderous intention contained in the life was incomparably thicker.
[You were hiding such a deep murderous intent well.]
‘Do you know what it is, Magoo?’
[Yes, I’ve met a couple of people who were born with this kind of karma in the past.]
At Maegu’s words, the contents of the original story passed through my head.
Dark flesh beyond one’s control.
Namgoong-ik, who left the original work.
Invidia, an apostle of Leviathan, who stole his power.
A unique trait he used.
‘It’s the <Slayer Constellation Killer>.’
Originally, it was Namgung Ik who was born with the Constellation Killer’s karma.
* * *
Maegoo shook his head from side to side.
[It’s not like you can withstand the Constellation Killer’s karma. He’s a pretty savvy guy.]
I didn’t know if it belonged to Namgoong-Ik, but <The Constellation Killer> itself had a unique characteristic that appeared in the novel as well.
It is also a powerful unique characteristic that even Kang Min-hyuk coveted, but was unable to acquire in the end.
Come to think of it, when Namgoong-ik taught me swordsmanship before.
There was a time when I showed the ‘Emperor’s sword type’ and ‘Changgung Muae Sword’, which can be said to be the representative martial arts of the Namgung family.
A few days after that, I thought I was in a bad condition, such as taking a break from training.
It’s just that I didn’t notice, and then, just like now, I must have had a hard time suppressing the overflowing murderousness caused by the Constellation Killer.
‘I didn’t say anything, but Shin Seong-ah must have noticed this.’
No matter how <Eye of the Mind> is said to be a post-rare attribute.
It will not be as good as the eyes of a divine child who can read and see through the flow of all things.
‘The Constellation Killer, who had been well suppressed, suddenly woke up, probably because of what happened yesterday.’
It was just that Namgung-Ik countered the sword that Namgung-Yeon wielded.
It seemed that that alone was enough to stimulate the Constellation Killer.
Now I fully understood why Namgoong-Ik didn’t hold a sword even though he had such excellent swordsmanship skills.
I was worried, but Namgung-in would know best about my condition.
I respected his judgment.
“Tell me if you are in danger.”
“Okay, then please don’t ask.”
However, there is one more thing to be concerned about.
Of course, Namgoong-Ik is the Constellation Killer.
It was to prevent the devil worshiper incident, and the character Namgung-ik, who had been withdrawn from the original work, was made into a colleague… .
I thought I could have a safe person with no risk factors as my ally.
[Perhaps if you can’t suppress the Constellation Killer, you might be the first to be killed by that child.]
A series of curse words followed.
However, I wondered if those words could somehow become a reality.
“Ehh.”
Fortunately, it’s better than finding out later after things happen.
It is better to know in advance before an accident like now.
There are a few issues that I’m concerned about, but even if Namgoong-Ik’s Constellation Killer added one more, it wouldn’t show much.
Unlike other problems that know the precursor symptoms that appear right before the problem explodes.
Although it takes a little while not being able to clearly grasp the foreshadowing.
‘What can I do?’
As much as that, I have no choice but to put it aside and manage it more thoroughly.
And with Shin Sung-ah, I will pay attention to Namgung-ik’s condition.
It wasn’t something I had to deal with alone.
‘Although Shin Seong-ah is scheduled to run out of control in the upcoming final exam. Whew.’
This is predestined, and a predestined procedure that I do not want to touch.
It was a problem she had to overcome.
When I returned to my seat, the loser’s revival was over.
Unsurprisingly, Anton confidently won the right to advance to the finals in the match for the revival of losers.
Unlike the preliminaries, the finals will be held as a tournament.

Just like the group match that took place the day before, the safety device was definitely prepared.
A device that replaces physical shock with mental shock.
The same technique he used when fighting Chun Yu-ran’s dummy in OT was spread out on the field.
‘As long as the opponent is not a dummy, but a real person. I won’t be able to use the same trick as last time.’
However, it is not a safety device in the same way used in team events.
There seemed to be no problem in fighting using the urethra.
[It seems that the time has come for the original woman to be active.]
‘As much as you have many eyes, you won’t be able to fight using all your abilities.’
One of Maegu’s abilities is <hallucination>.
It’s not a skill to use carelessly in a public place like this.
<Suction> is a technique that cannot be used due to its danger.
Conversely, <hallucination> is a technique that should not be used because it should be reserved as a trump card.
‘Because it can be said that it’s a kind of special move.’
[Death kill. The tone is good.]
Depending on how you use it, it could be an extra life.
It could be a deadly blade to aim at the neck of a mighty enemy who has no choice but to do it now.
As such, it is necessary to be thoroughly careful about what you see on the outside.
‘Mubong Cheonui and Guryong Mythological Team… I’m a little worried.’
This is just a reluctance to know that I use two rare artifacts.
Even if it was known, there were no big problems.
If you hide too much, on the contrary, it might become a shackle when you move later.
First of all, I decided to look at the opponent in the first round of the finals.
“My opponent is… .”
In the bracket announced, I found my name.
Next to it, I read the name of the opponent I will face in the first round.
Third Round of the Round of 32.
Hanzo VS Ben Gibraltar.
“He’s a strong enemy from the first opponent.”
It wasn’t very good luck.
Being eliminated in the 1st round seems to be out of shape, so I was planning to lose moderately around the 2nd or 3rd round.
If I do something wrong, I might be eliminated from the first round regardless of my will.
「Sub Quest – Dark Horse」
Get the highest score possible in the finals of the competition.
Reward: Payment based on performance.
As long as the quest was created, it would have to be done.
Indeed, how much power does the current Ben Gibraltar have?
Equivalent to the original?
Or, more than the original?
Maybe it’s less than the original.
‘There is a mana recovery system. It would be okay to use half of the mana.’
It is true that the quest reward was a waste.
However, I haven’t used the ‘general attribute growth right’, which is the reward I received after clearing the quest before.
It was better to fight moderately and then give up than to overdo it and interfere with future work.
‘I don’t intend to watch it.’
Of course, I’m not fighting for quality.
Through the contents of the original work, as much as I know the weakness he now has.
The odds of winning would be higher than fighting against guys like Yoo Hyeon-hwa and Shin Sung-ah.
