The special battle was still going on.
Certainly different from the preliminaries, the finals featured many truly dynamic scenes.
As the match lasted for about an hour, there were situations where there was no conclusion.
There were also cases where participants who were difficult to believe were trainees appeared and attracted attention.
On the other hand, Minjun’s play time was particularly short compared to the other participants.
Since it was played in a tournament format, there was nothing good about a long game.
Because it was a special match, the physical burden was so great.
Minjun’s attitude every time he plays… .
I set out with the idea of finishing it as quickly as possible.
“Is this about two games left?”
There were no particular difficulties during the final stage.
Not only did he finish the round of 16 in an instant, but there were no obstacles for Minjun until the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Bitna Yoon’s actions were not easy.
She also seemed to be approaching Daejeon with the same thoughts as Min-jun.
There was no tension at all, and her average play time was less than 10 minutes.
He often inflicted fatal blows when using magic, even in matches with other participants.
It just showed the overwhelming difference in skill.
‘In the end, the ticket to the finals belongs to Yoon Bitna.’
She reached the finals first, and now all that remains is to wait for her opponent.
Even the semifinals were decided with just over 5 minutes of play time, and she showed no signs of fatigue.
Now Minjun’s semifinal match remained.
The opponent was a special participant from the new guild, Serum Guild.
Although he did not seem like a participant with exceptional swordsmanship skills, his basic skills were very solid.
He was a participant who seemed to have a high understanding of swordsmanship.
‘If I get it right this turn, it’s the finals.’
Maybe this is the sight that the audience watching the special match also hopes for.
Even if it’s not necessarily a guild war… .
A battle between special participants representing each guild of the Woohwang Guild and the Arch Guild!
The matches of each guild, which was established as a fateful rivalry, always attracted attention.
I’m sure there were some audience members who secretly hoped Minjun would make it to the finals.
“I hope the bowman comes up if possible!”
“It would be totally worth watching if there was a special match and a rivalry match, right?”
“Unless something major happens, won’t that guy come up?”
“That’s not necessarily true, right? That friend! “He had some skill with a sword.”
The audience’s attention was focused on the final match of the semifinals.
“Participants from both teams are requested to stand facing each other.”
“yes.”
For the semifinal match, Minjun immediately came up on stage.
The contestant who was to face Minjun also strode up onto the stage, holding a sword.
“i look forward to.”
“That’s me.”
A contestant who is as polite as possible to Minjun.
With that, the semifinals began with a light silent salute.
***
Even though Yoon Bitna is also Yoon Bitna.
Choi Deok-ho’s eyes were especially focused on Cha Min-jun.
From the special competition preliminaries to the current semifinals!
All along, I was in awe of Minjun’s play.
That’s right too.
He was especially absorbed in Minjun’s activities.
Among the many guild members in the Woohwang guild, there were also hunters who focused on bows… .
It is very difficult to find a hunter like Minjun who is concise yet professional these days.
Moreover, if he can show Minjun’s talent to ‘Hyun King’, who has been his eternal best friend and disciple… .
I was just wondering how he would react.
However, the current king had been living a secluded life somewhere in the northwest for nearly five years.
In fact, it was not easy to even meet him.
We only briefly exchanged news with each other occasionally, but I couldn’t even guess what he was like now.
‘I wish the current king could see this scene right now.’
The Wise King is the only bow master equipped with the proprietary ‘Magic Arrow’.
Because he was able to fire an arrow made entirely of magical power.
It had a reputation among hunters for its speed, which was similar to the speed of light, and its ripple effect was also considerable.
However, he is in the midst of a bloody battle with Iculus called the Great Clash.
As he fell under the ‘black curse’, he was unable to use his proprietary ‘Magic Arrow’.
Black curse.
It is a curse that reduces the magical power of a specific target hunter over time.
This refers to the phenomenon of a decrease in magical power.
Despite defeating Iculus… .

Considering that this curse could not be lifted, the wise king, after much deliberation, chose to live a secluded life somewhere in the northwest mountain valley.
For Choi Deok-ho, he feels sorry for such a ‘wise king’.
There was nothing he could do.
On the other hand, it seemed like Minjun could see the Hyunwang as he was when he was young.
Contrary to his always innocent appearance.
Just like the Hyun King, whose eyes change 180 degrees as soon as he holds the bow, it is quite similar to Min-jun.
Similarities were seen.
‘He has the same eyes as the wise king. It’s truly amazing.’
The semifinals soon began.
Deokho Choi observed Minjun closely.
Unlike the previous battles.
Minjun’s opponent in the semifinals is a contestant with fairly strong fundamentals.
Deep down, I was curious about how Minjun would play.
‘Hmm, we’re busy looking after each other.’
just as expected.
The nerves between the two participants were so intense that the semifinals were reminiscent of a tense battle.
Even though about 10 minutes had passed since the starting whistle sounded.
The two participants did not move at all.
‘Hmm, the fight is fierce.’
Unlike Min-jun’s performance in the match, where the play time was always short.
It made me wonder if this semifinal match would be different from the previous one.
***
-A formidable opponent. It’s been over 10 minutes and his posture still hasn’t changed.
‘The Serum Guild has significant advantages in this regard.’
-Is now the time to praise the opposing guild?
‘Acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged is my credo~’
-You look great.
Since the opponent was still fighting, Minjun also felt pressured to raise the bow too hastily.
When lifting the bow.
Because it seemed clear that he would immediately interrupt Minjun’s actions with a forward dash.
However, this was part of Minjun’s plan.
In the case of special competitions.
There is an implicit rule that recommends keeping play time as short as possible the closer you get to the final stage.
However, it was not possible to unilaterally force the participants to compete against each other.
New additional features would be applied to the stage.
“Because the war of nerves between the two contestants has lasted longer than expected, we will be introducing a new additional device! “We ask both participants to pay special attention as they approach the match!”
As soon as the host’s comment ends.
For a moment, hazy smoke began to rise from the stage.
Fuuuuu-
Because of the hazy smoke, there was no visibility at all.
Minjun instantly unleashed his magical power.
Even if I didn’t know anything else, I could never give up my vision, so I thought it was a priority to secure my vision more quickly.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-
Magical steam rising around Minjun.
At the same time, the opponent’s location slowly began to appear blurry.
‘I never thought we’d change positions in that split second!’
While the other person sees a cloud of smoke rising.
It appeared that he had moved from place to place in a hurry.
Although only a silhouette was visible, what was certain was that he was standing behind Minjun, watching the situation closely.
‘It seems like you haven’t found me yet. ‘The only chance is now.’
It seems like this device was introduced to create a situation where two people face each other… .
I thought it would be better for Minjun to start first.
‘Fake Arrow!’
Arrows were simultaneously fired at the opponent.
A skill that adds confusion in a situation where visibility is poor… .
There is a high probability that it will be quite useful to the opponent.
Paaaaat-
Eventually, Minjun’s idea seemed to have worked.
“uh?!”
The opponent tried to hit the flying arrow with his sword in a situation where he had no visibility at all.
Whisper- Whistle-
However, what he saw was only a fake depicting an arrow.
Among the arrows flying straight ahead.
Nothing was real.
‘Fake Arrow!’
Minjun gained momentum and repeated the same skill, this time with a side step.
Pushyung- Pushyung-
Of course, it is difficult for the opponent to easily distinguish between these repetitive skills.
Because the view was still not clear.
There was no way to do anything.
“Ugh! “There’s no end to this!”
The arrows he sees all look like the same arrows.
It was so normal that it wasn’t easy to tell, so I couldn’t hide my embarrassment.
As the pace gradually shifted in Minjun’s favor, the smoke that had clouded everything seemed to gradually subside.
Even so, Minjun did not want to lose this pace.
“It’s already too late.”
The corners of Minjun’s mouth rose slightly.
The situation was already focused on Min-jun, and by the time all the hazy smoke had disappeared.
They engaged in concentrated shooting.
The opponent didn’t know what to do due to Min-jun’s indiscriminate rampage.
Of course, my basic skills are solid, so I tried my best to block Minjun’s bombardment(?), but… .
Even his limitations were clearly revealed.
“ha… ha… “There is no sign of it ending.”
In my experience, it felt like I was deflecting hundreds of arrows with my sword.
However, my physical limitations began to become evident, and there was absolutely nothing I could do.
At some point, the opponent kneeled down and revealed his limitations.
Only then did Minjun stop bombing, and the opponent was left in a state where a match was impossible.
“Because no more matches were possible, the final stage of the semifinals was won by contestant ‘Cha Min-jun.’”
“With this, the final match of the special competition has finally taken place. “There will be a match between ‘Bitna Yoon’, who was selected as a special participant of Woohwang Guild, and ‘Minjun Cha,’ a special participant of Arc Guild!”
Before the guild war even started.
From the special battle, rival guilds from Korea faced each other.
The heat here in Gwangalli, Busan, was getting hotter.
