106. End of planned game
“It’s all broken?”
The first artifact that the QED team found was so shattered that it looked like it had been stabbed with a knife.
At that moment, for some reason, an uneasy thought crossed my mind.
‘no way…….’
First, let’s look for other relics.
And traces of other relics were found shortly thereafter.
What is at the end of that trace is also… …
“This too??”
I began to have a strong feeling that the anxious imagination that had been creeping up on me might not be imagination anymore.
“These guys… … .”
Traces of the relic, as if it had been stabbed with a knife.
The guys probably didn’t move much from that spot to begin with.
then……
‘You really planned to be trapped from the beginning and destroyed all the relics, didn’t you… …!’
Perhaps what was used was the flying sword that had the bomb attached to it.
That way, you can break the relic by swinging your sword without moving too much.
At that moment, I had no choice but to make a decision.
“Stop looking for relics.”
“Still, there might be something intact left… … .”
“Too much time has passed to waste time on such uncertainties.”
Finding the relic was not a simple task. I had to stay alert and look around the wide maps to feel the source of the mana.
‘Unless you have the ability to pinpoint the exact location… … .’
If they’ve accomplished this in a short period of time, they must have someone with some ability on their team.
Anyway, after spending a long time searching for the relic, QED was left with few options.
If we don’t fight, QED will lose because they have fewer people.
“… … There’s nothing we can do. We have faith in our fighting power. That’s all.”
Normally, I wouldn’t have chosen to walk into a trap set by my opponent… … but this time, I had no other choice.
“let’s go.”
***
Meanwhile, from the perspective of an outsider rather than a player directly involved in the game, the game looked completely different.
[Caster]: So, from beginning to end, this match was designed entirely by PER, with nothing being a coincidence.
[Commentator]: Yes. What did PER do as soon as the game started? They joined. They did it to build a defensive position. What’s interesting is that after building the defensive position, they first destroy all the relics with Yoon Han-gyeol’s Leegi-eogeom, which has no range restrictions.
This eliminates the problems caused by relics that would otherwise arise if you built a defensive position in one place and didn’t move.
Only after that, the special forces of Lee Chang-hyun and Ryu Jae-jun are deployed. The remaining swords are equipped with mana bombers and bombed to help the special forces.
Haha… You could say that this match was completely in PER’s hands.
‘But QED, who didn’t know that fact, wasted time searching for the relic and ended up having no choice but to cry and enter PER’s prepared board.’
Han Ji-hoo clicked his tongue.
It was a tactic that felt meticulous, even persistent.
If it were a normal level, they would have launched a bombing attack in the first attack, and if they had reduced the number of people by 2, it would have been 7 to 5. They would have thought they could win with the advantage of numbers and gone into an all-out war.
‘You clever bastard.’
More. More. More.
At least for this game, it felt like they were pursuing perfection to a greedy degree.
[Narrator]: QED… … This is what happened in the end. Ah. Now he’s walking directly into the trap that PER had set up! However, QED’s fighting prowess is not to be underestimated. PER should also be on his toes!!
The commentator continued his commentary in a heated voice, but at least in Han Ji-hoo’s eyes, there was no need to watch this match any longer.
‘We need to be a little more cautious during the match against our team.’
I guess it was the same during Hunter’s Day. I hate to admit it, but I thought he was a guy with a lot going for him.
Of course, it won’t work against PSG, which is known as the best team in the second division.
***
While there were so many thoughts going around outside the game, inside and outside the game, the center of the game, the defense built by PER, had completely different thoughts going around.
“Hey. It’s your turn. What are you doing?”
“There was no rule that said it had to be done within a few seconds. Stop nagging me.”
“Oh really? Then when it’s my turn, try holding out for an hour?”
“Are you doing this on purpose, and are you thinking the same thing as me right now?”
‘Ugh…….’
I sighed when I saw the PER team members, but well, it’s true that they don’t have much to do, such as sitting around and scribbling stuff in the dirt.
A line was drawn on the dirt, and stones were placed in the shape of mana.
In the meantime.
“… … I think it’s coming this way now.”
‘Did you notice…?’
Honestly, I wish you had noticed it sooner.
If it were me, I would have honestly noticed it the moment the relic was destroyed.
Common sense tells us that when devising such a defensive strategy, it would be impossible not to take relics into consideration.
‘No? Maybe they didn’t consider the regular 3rd division players?’
Well, anyway. I’m neither a regular player nor a third-tier player, so it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, it was now time to start preparing.
I scratched the engraving board(?) that Kim Do-jun was holding with my shoe.
“Ah, why~ I was the one who was suppressing you.”

“It’s time to get to work.”
When he said that, Kim Do-jun smiled faintly.
“Ah… … This fight was long.”
What’s the big deal about coming here and not moving an inch after starting the game? It’s a long one. Anyway.
So the team members headed to the locations they had each decided on.
It was a slightly scattered formation, prepared for a wide-area attack.
The empty space was where Kim Yu-Hyeon’s ‘turret’ was located, allowing team members located anywhere to provide supporting fire.
Not only that, the terrain itself was completely different from its original appearance, and had changed to favor the defender.
Fully prepared to meet the enemy, the enemy charged in a few minutes later.
It was QED.
Bang – Taang!!
Naturally, the first one to encounter QED was my sniper.
‘If I use my saved mana bomber for sniping like this… … .’
Boom!
The opponent reacted to the sniping with surprising speed and activated his mana shield, but unfortunately, this was not just any sniping and the mana shield shattered like glass.
‘You can start with one less person.’
One of the QED team members, who was at the very edge, was killed by a Mana Bomber sniper before he could even properly enter.
There were four QED team members left. Even they were not in perfect condition, perhaps because they had not fully recovered from the attack with Ryu Jae-jun earlier.
“You worthless bastards… … .”
QED charged in, biting his lip, but there was no particular tension in PER.
How to do it. Of course, the image training and even the method were planned out in detail.
First of all, the first thing to greet them upon invading was definitely Kim Yu-Hyeon’s turret.
Thump thump thump!
Automatic fire from an unknown number of turrets.
At the same time, my pinpoint support fire.
QED was forced to retreat as soon as it entered.
It was as if they had invaded without any reason.
“They’re finally here! You villains… … ! Huh!!”
Then, one of the QED team members encountered Kim Do-jun.
Kim Do-jun was the first to flash his sword and attack, but surprisingly, his opponent blocked it.
visor!
He easily blocked it by raising his arm with his huge gauntlet.
As expected, it was probably because it was still difficult to beat QED with individual skills.
So, the QED team member raised his arm to block it, and then tried to throw a punch at Kim Do-jun’s empty body in succession,
Thump thump thump!
Even if I met one person, that person was never just one person.
“Huh… … !”
Even if there is only one enemy in front of you, there is one person providing support fire. And a turret. The imbalance in personnel allows more team members to take advantage of the gap.
Because I had to deal with so many things that I could never have anticipated them all.
“Don’t fight while scattered, gather together!! If you fight while scattered like usual, you’ll be annihilated!”
‘Hoo… … .’
Is that guy the center of QED?
Even though he was bitten by a tiger, he seemed to be of sound mind.
‘I want to praise you for not losing your will even when you’re cornered… … but.’
The moment when QED’s teammates regrouped around the guy who had shouted and raised their mana shield.
Ryu Jae-jun, who had been hiding behind an unseen structure and staying silent, made his presence felt again at the sound of the turret firing and attacked from above.
A truly splendid appearance.
However, it was a scene that seemed to cause deja vu.
“Are you ready?”
It was directed at me.
“of course.”
Early in the game.
The scene where they swept their opponents 7 to 2 was recreated once again from a completely different perspective.
Kiiiiiing -.
That was the end of the game that day.
***
The reaction to the game that day was truly amazing.
Even more so than the PSG-TAK match, which was expected to receive the most attention.
[QED is just so pitiful lol Yeah~ There are no relics there~]
n I’m still looking for it, crawling around, because it was torn down a long time ago… … So pitiful.
N Seriously ㅋㅋ If you’re stupid, your body will suffer~
N But rather than being stupid, PER is really… … ha.
N man… … Today’s game was truly epic.
[But it was sad to see him crawl into there knowing he was really going to die.]
N What’s there to be upset about? It was just the player making a big move.
ㄴ Usually, you have the right to decide when to throw the ball. This is just taking that right away, lol.
Yeah, that’s true.
n And then, when we gathered to fight again at the end, we just got tired of the deja vu from the beginning.
They say a tragedy is a comedy when seen from afar, and that’s exactly what it was.
Anyway, the cheers from the audience were so great that the other team members looked pretty happy as well.
There was even a guy who went as far as to check the community’s reaction…
“Ah… … Honestly, I’ll be the MVP this time, right?”
Ryu Jae-jun seemed particularly satisfied with this match.
The MVP was… It was a match where it wouldn’t have been strange for Ryu Jae-jun to receive it.
Because he brought an impactful appearance to every important scene. Not only that impact, but he also took on an important role along with me.
And indeed, that prediction turned out to be correct.
This was because, after a few minutes, I heard from the staff that the MVP was Ryu Jae-jun.
However, there was one unexpected part.
“Huh? You’re the MVP, but I’m not the one being interviewed?”
Ryu Jae-jun looked at me and asked the staff. What? It’s the first game of the season, so I’m going to go out?
It’s probably not that strange since it’s the first game of the season and I played quite well.
But that thought was fleeting.
What the staff said was truly unexpected.
“There was a strong request from the community, audience, and casters, so Kim Do-jun took on the role.”
“???”
Kim Do-jun? He didn’t do much from the beginning to the end of this game, so why? Why did you insist on interviewing him?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
“Are you jealous? If you are, then tell me. Hey. I’ll be back soon, hyung.”
Kim Do-jun followed the staff out, teasing the other guys.
Then, suddenly, an ominous thought crossed my mind.
‘Surely you didn’t call Kim Do-jun… … .’
