“That’s a real breakthrough! With the wolf mask on, he keeps going straight up without backing down at all!”
But does that mean he is a skilled person who has made it this far?
Starting with the White Walkers, the skills of the players you encounter have noticeably increased.
It became difficult to end a battle with just one attack, and everyone was trying their best to attack Seun.
“Oh my god, what the hell is that!”
“I wanted to take off the mask, but it’s too bad.”
The result is the same anyway.
The opponent fell, bleeding, without even being able to launch a proper counterattack against Seun.
Honestly, it was an expected result.
Most of the people who participated in the underground arena were players who wanted to make money through gambling or who wanted to be scouted by large guilds by winning.
The purpose of the underground arena is not to rule by an overwhelming absolute power, but to fight bloody brawls, so if you win more than a certain number of times, you are banned from participating.
If one-sided results continue, gambling, which is the main source of income for underground gambling ring managers, will also become meaningless.
In Se-Woon’s case, it was a match that was possible because it was his first time participating.
If they had known of Seun’s power, they would never have accepted him.
“Well, everyone, you’ve all been waiting for a long time! This afternoon’s competition had an unprecedented number of participants. Finally, the final match, the final, is drawing near!”
As Se-un began to gain ground among the crowd, the commentator also opened his mouth in excitement.
As the finals approached, the cheers of the people reached their peak.
“Blue Corner, a beast that suddenly appears and knocks down all opponents with a single blow using its sharp fangs! Wolf Mask!”
Se-un calmly climbed onto the field at the commentator’s shout.
Although there was some exaggeration in the introduction, today is the last day I will visit the underground arena.
As soon as he got on the pitch, Se-Woon raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
Even if I surround my eyes with mana or use detection magic, I can’t feel it, but I’m sure Arcana is looking down on me from beyond that ceiling.
“Hong Corner, the great tank of the arena where you have already won once! Armor!”
The giant, ‘Armor’, who will face Se-un in the finals.
Since the arena itself is a narrow space called a ring, most of the players are close-range players rather than magicians.
Warriors who emphasize agility also have limited movement in narrow spaces. That’s why warriors who focus on attack and stamina have an advantage in fighting in underground arenas.
Thud, thud-
The ground shook every time Armor walked onto the pitch.
It doesn’t make sense to say that the stadium will shake simply because he’s big. That means that the guy has mass that goes beyond his size.
Although he was not carrying a weapon, he was covered in scabs and covered all over with a red-stained cloth.
‘That guy can’t be finished off with one blow.’
While waiting for his turn, Se-un also watched other people’s games.
Among them, the fighting style of the giant called Armor is truly like a bulldozer. He absorbs the opponent’s attacks with his body, rushes forward, somehow catches them, and slams them into the ground.
If the opponent’s attack is too strong, he will charge forward while blocking his own vision, and his power will be enough to destroy the outer wall of the stadium.
“I’m excited to see who will win! Please stand in your seats, both players!”
“Isn’t it armor?”
“Has anyone ever really hurt that guy?”
“Well, if you confront it head-on, it’ll get crushed, and even if you try to avoid it, you won’t be able to get a scratch on it. It’s a monster, a monster.”
“But with that wolf mask, I haven’t even revealed my true abilities yet?”
“Then what can I do? I told you that a rusty iron sword from the arena can’t cut through that guy.”
Outside, the audience’s speculations pour in.
If you have the right equipment, it’s probably okay, but most people say that with the equipment in the arena, you’re nearly invincible against opponents like Armor.
It seemed like they were worrying even more deeply because it was a matter of their own money coming and going.
“Okay, the game will start in one minute! Today, the odds are huge thanks to the large number of participants and spectators!”
“Damn, I guess I should go to Jeongbae after all?”
“I’d rather do the opposite. That guy seems to have something going for him.”
As it was the finals, the commentator took his time to give people enough time to think and bet.
At the end, you can see Park Jeong-pil jumping around and shouting, “Brother, I believe in you!”
And finally, the betting is over.
The commentator raises the corners of his mouth as he looks at the amount of money raised. This is to start the match off with a bang as it is the finals.
“Okay, then let’s begin! I hope both players show us a great game!”
The game was signaled by fireworks going off around the outskirts of the stadium.
Seun, as always, swings the iron sword at his waist.
however.
Jjaeng!
The iron sword that Seun swung shattered like glass as soon as it touched the opponent’s body.
It wasn’t just a simple swing, it was an attack imbued with internal energy as it used the first move of the Five Dragons’ Stance, the White Dragon’s Rush.
It was obvious that wearing armor was prohibited, so I couldn’t understand how he was able to block the sword with his bare body.
However, Seun continued his second attack without hesitation.
– Jay’s first attack and Black Dragon Flying are strengthened through internal energy.
A line of rapidly flying daggers flies.
Since I didn’t think the dagger would work anyway, my goal was to block the view and rip the robe rather than inflict damage.
Teeing!
As expected, the daggers bounce off.
Although it did not inflict any damage on the opponent, the reason the weapon bounced off was revealed as the cloth was cut by the dagger.
‘Crustacean?’

The opponent’s body was covered with something like a rock-hard shell.
An appearance closer to a monster than a human.
Whether it is the blessing of the constellation it follows, a curse from the devil, or the blood of a monster, its identity is unknown, but for now, the priority is to attack it.
– Through internal energy, the ritual of the Five Dragons’ Hwalbo and the Hwangryongjingeo (Green Dragon Advance) are strengthened.
Instead of pulling out his spear, Seun grabbed the heaviest weapon he had, a hammer.
Ignore the attack and step forward, swinging your hammer at the head of the guy who is coming at you.
Thud!
The sound of the impact was more like hitting a rock than hitting a person.
The weapon’s condition was so bad that the hammer’s head broke off with this one attack, but it seemed like the opponent was also hit quite hard this time.
He stops moving, gets pushed, staggers, and then shakes his head violently as if trying to come to his senses.
However, when the guy raised his head, Seun had already disappeared from his sight.
– The O-Ryong-Hwal-Bo’s Jeo-Oh Cho-Sik and Jeok-Ryong-Hwal-A (赤龍齕牙) are strengthened through internal energy.
Kwajik!
Seun appears in the air with a bloody crash and swings his axe down with the force of gravity.
Between the carapace and the shell.
The axe blade penetrates precisely into the narrow gap where even a sword would not fit.
The carapace did not allow the axe blade to enter, but the axe blade used up all its durability to widen the space between the carapace.
“Ah, ah, it hurts… … !”
An opponent who immaturely complains about pain, as if a monster were imitating human language.
It was quite funny to see him struggling to catch Seun somehow, but it would be difficult to escape if he was caught by those swinging arms.
Instead of landing on the ground, Seun stepped on his opponent’s shoulder and jumped back, discarding the axe handle and picking up the short spear at his waist.
– The third movement of the Five Dragons’ Hwalbo, the Blue Dragon’s One Flash, is strengthened through internal energy.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the secret of the ultimate deep attack.
Phew!
A single spear filled with the energy of a sword, no, a spear, was thrust into the gap between the shells split open by the axe.
Deep enough to embed half of the spear.
“Ah, it hurts. It hurts… … !”
The hand of the struggling opponent finally grabbed Se-un’s leg.
Even though it looks like he’s just struggling around, it seems like he’s precisely timing his attack.
The attack landed properly, but the opponent seemed to be confident in his stamina as well as his high defense, so he didn’t seem to care even when his spear was stuck in his body.
Seun rolled the mana circle, feeling the evil force in his calves.
– The power of ‘Explosion’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
It is impossible to manifest magic in an opponent’s body, but it is possible to manifest it in one’s own weapon.
Of course, even if it is your own weapon, the moment it enters the opponent’s body, it is usually difficult to use normal magic because the opponent’s mana interferes with it…
Phew!
Seun’s magic, which has reached the 7th circle, can easily ignore such minor interference.
As soon as the magic was activated, the tip of the spear exploded and tore through the opponent’s body.
The shell was peeling off the skin, the muscles were burning black, and black smoke was rising from the gaping mouth.
Because the weapon’s condition was so bad that the limit of mana that could be pushed into the tip of the weapon was high, the power of the magic was low, and so he could not end the life.
However, the outcome has already been decided.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh… … . It hurts, I don’t want to fight… … .”
“S, winner! Wolf mask!”
Naturally, Seun took the championship in the underground arena.
* * *
“Hey, bro! I believed in you! When you blew up the spear at the end with a smirk, I got goosebumps too.”
“They were spreading the rumor that that guy named Armor would win.”
“… … Haha, did you hear that? You have good ears. Actually, I intentionally swayed public opinion in that direction to increase the odds!”
“So how much did you earn?”
“Excluding everything else, the odds from the finals are 3x! 3x! If you add up all the previous matches… … Hehehe.”
I didn’t bother posting in the guild chat that I was participating in the underground arena, but after seeing the achievement points that Park Jeong-pil had earned, I felt regretful that I should have called him this time too.
Well, since my original purpose for participating in the underground arena wasn’t there, I had a short conversation and immediately turned away.
“Oh, hyung! Are you leaving already? I heard Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol are coming too.”
“Okay. Don’t come again. No, even if you come again, I won’t be able to participate anymore.”
If a winner emerges who is overwhelmingly stronger than the other participants, the odds will be low and people will not bet their money.
Since the stakes are only on the winner, the underground arena prefers to see easier contestants come out and fight each other.
I didn’t ask, but Se-Woon must have been suspended from playing in today’s game.
“Since you’re here, let’s have you both participate.”
“Kang Han-cheol is a good fighter so he’ll do it right away, but what about Seo-ah?”
“well.”
Yu Seo-ah’s fighting power is just as good as Kang Han-cheol’s.
However, she was more concerned with managing and commanding the guild instead of establishing it as a sub-guild master. So, as Park Jeong-pil said, she wasn’t the type to seek out places like this…
‘Because I saw something different recently.’
Was it around the time the Moraf Festival ended?
The look in Yusuh’s eyes changed noticeably.
I have secretly watched him practice alone, and the way he swings his sword as if he has poison in him looks quite murderous.
If it were her now, she would welcome her entry into the underground arena with open arms.
There is no better place to gain hands-on experience with people than here.
“Then where are you going, brother?”
“casino.”
“Huh? Brother, I didn’t see you like that, but you’re going straight to the casino! Then this Park Jeong-pil can’t not follow you!”
Park Jeong-pil followed me excitedly. I didn’t try to stop him.
anyway…….
“From here on, only VIP customers are allowed entry.”
“Brother, that won’t work. Let’s play on the first floor for a bit… … .”
“Have fun. Don’t blow all the money you earned earlier.”
“… … Huh? Brother? Brother?”
Because Park Jeong-pil has no authority to enter the second floor of the casino.
I ignored the guy who was arguing with the guard below, saying he was my brother’s right-hand man and all, and headed to the third floor.
We climbed the dark stairs and opened the door we had been guided to in the morning.
“Oh my, you came right away? Did you miss me that much? I’m so touched~”
Arcana, sitting in front of the window, was welcoming Seun with her mouth covered by a card.
