129. Norimsu
At that time, before splitting into twos and fours to face PSG.
I, who had changed into the same appearance as Lee Chang-hyun, spoke to Kim Do-jun.
“I’ll leave it to you. I honestly don’t expect you to win, so just hold on and hang on as long as you can.”
“What about ankle grabbing? Can’t you see my performance in today’s game?”
Yeah, I got scolded by Chang-Hyeon in this game, but honestly, I thought he was doing really well.
Because it managed to cause considerable confusion to the enemy and inflict quite a bit of damage.
Besides, that variable is not over yet, and since it will be beneficial for both me and Lee Chang-hyun, who are split up and fighting, I thought I would be the MVP of this match.
‘How long has it been since we last had an MVP…?’
Just imagining him being interviewed so confidently made my heart race.
Now that I’ve made such an impact during the game, I’m sure Chang-Hyeon won’t be able to think about benching me again.
I even had that thought.
“Just trust me and leave it to me. I’ll slaughter all the remaining PSG guys.”
“… … Okay, then. If that doesn’t work, run away or try to kill time. Whoever the opponent is, they probably won’t be easy.”
With those words, PER’s team split into groups of two and four and charged towards their opponents.
A few minutes later, I found myself in the hallways of the Palace of Dreams.
“Ah… … Unfortunately, it’s just leftovers.”
It wasn’t the side where Han Ji-hoo, who was famous as an ace at PSG, was located.
If I beat that guy, I’d almost definitely be MVP. I felt it was a shame, but what can I do?
‘I have to consider this body as giving in.’
With that thought in mind, I ran towards PSG’s opponents.
It was a combination of me and Lee Gil-han as the vanguard, Lee Yeon-ju who decided to hide and provide support, and Han Ji-soo who was in charge of the rear and support.
Shake! Shake!
The PSG guys were obviously aware of the loud noise from earlier, so they just avoided the sword. They still couldn’t block it.
‘You avoid it without blocking it even though you have earplugs in. That’s a smart choice. It’s funny.’
I don’t know which guy from PSG he was, but he seemed to know that earplugs alone wouldn’t block out sound properly if you added an amplifier.
But. So what? Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that I can’t block Kim Do-jun’s sword!
“I’m going to charge at them with my sword, so Yeonju, don’t use your skills and just cover. Then, just point-blank range at the guys I’m charging at.”
Indeed, the effect was as expected.
My sword was like Moses’ staff parting the Red Sea, and nothing could stop it.
A situation where no one can stop the sword of a quick sword user. Could there be anything more enjoyable than this?
If you keep pushing like that, a decisive opportunity is sure to come.
At that moment, the PSG guy I was pushing fell over due to the cover of Lee Gil-han and Han Ji-soo, and I was about to cut him down.
“Ah… … Ah! Dojun!”
“… … ?”
If you just cut it off now, it’ll be a cut. Why are you calling me so urgently?
It was a move that couldn’t be stopped anyway, and he just cut down the PSG guy.
But at that moment.
‘A shield?’
Lee Gil-han, who ran together to stop the opponent. And me, who was about to cut down the opponent. Even the opponent of PSG was surrounded by a defensive barrier.
That situation where you can’t understand English.
But time passed by laughing at that situation, and I cut the guy down.
however……
‘Are you laughing?’
You got attacked by the enemy without being able to do anything, and you’re laughing…?
… … That was the last sight I saw from that game.
At that moment, the mana bomber that the PSG guy who died laughing was holding fell and exploded with a loud noise.
Boom! Kwakwakwakwak!
“Hey! Kim Do-jun! Lee Gil-han!! This bastard… … .”
Was that Han Ji-soo’s voice? The sound felt like it was fading away.
***
[Caster]: Ahhh… … PER!! The side with Lee Chang-hyun will continue the winning streak, but on the other hand, the side with the main force will suffer a huge blow!
[Commentator]: This will make the game difficult… … No matter how much Han Ji-hoo is the captain and ace of PSG, there are actually many more ace players who have more practical skills.
Just now, Lee Gyu-jin, who locked Kim Do-jun and Lee Gil-han in a defensive barrier and blew them up. And Oh Si-hwan, who is famous for his flashy individual skills. And the rest of the players who are known for their sensible cover play… … .
The commentators watching the game from beyond the screen continued to make negative predictions about PER.
It was only natural.
PER’s main force, Kim Do-jun and Lee Gil-han were blown up at the same time, and Lee Gyu-jin’s sense play took out Han Ji-soo at the same time, and Lee Yeon-ju barely managed to escape.
Now there are 3 to 4 people left.
Even so, it is only a matter of time before Lee Yeon-ju, whose only means of resistance is to hide and run away, is caught.
Then, in reality, it should have been seen as 2 to 5.
That’s a common situation, the game is coming to an end.
The observer caught something unexpected just as the match was about to end in a 2-5 draw.
[Caster]: Phew… … Now that Lee Yeon-ju has been defeated, the only players left for PER are Yoon Han-gyeol and Lee Chang-hyeon. Those two players will have to face PSG’s five players… … .
When we dealt with Han Ji-hoo, if the two players had worked together to quickly take down Oh Si-hwan, it would have been at least somewhat worthwhile…
The situation seems a bit hopeless on the PER side, right? … … But what are these things that the observer suddenly sees? Doppelgangers… … ? Are they?
On the screen that the caster was pointing to, the number of doppelgangers that had been increasing one by one had increased considerably at some point, and now there were about seven of them.
PER and PSG fought while avoiding the doppelgangers as much as possible, but doppelgangers continued to appear on the map.
[Commentator]: Yes, that’s right. It’s a gimmick from the map that Ryu Jae-jun was eliminated from due to a variable in PER earlier. Maybe because the match was long… … There are already this many doppelgangers.

[Caster]: Oh… … Then, by any chance. Does the fact that the observer specifically caught it mean that there is a variable that can reverse the situation using this doppelganger for PER?
[Commentator]: There is a special gimmick that occurs when 7 doppelgangers gather in this map… … You will probably be able to see it for yourself now.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that PER is advantageous… … It could show another reason why so many hunters died in this ‘Palace of Dreams’ in the past.
The commentator said with a slightly bitter smile.
What is clear is that this situation has made PER overwhelmingly unfavorable.
As the game dragged on endlessly, it was entering another phase.
***
“I think… it’ll be… difficult… to hold on… any longer… .”
Lee Yeon-ju poured out her words, as if she was out of breath and could no longer speak through her earphones.
‘Still, Lee Yeon-ju was left alone so she must have endured a lot.’
The fact that the main force of Kim Do-jun’s PER was completely defeated was actually all thanks to Lee Yeon-ju, so it would be safe to say that Lee Yeon-ju did her job sufficiently.
Immediately after that, Lee Yeon-ju’s communication was cut off.
“You were eliminated from the performance too?”
Yoon Han-gyeol said with a dark expression.
“okay.”
“Ugh… … If I had just focused a little more and grabbed that guy’s ankle, I could have made it 2 vs. 3… … .”
Yoon Han-gyeol was probably blaming himself for missing Oh Si-hwan due to a momentary mistake earlier.
‘But it’s not easy to catch up to an enemy with an ability like [Swift] when there’s no Han Ji-soo or Lee Yeon-ju.’
“You don’t have to blame yourself. It’s not your fault.”
“… … Yeah. Now is not the time to think about that. What do you think? Can you show me the way?”
Hmm… … This is the solution to this match.
In fact, PSG has a strong force due to Han Ji-hoo, but the other team members are also similarly strong.
Just like Kim Do-jun’s side suffered without even being able to see the end of it.
In other words, there is no chance of winning in an honest all-out war of 2 vs. 4.
Knowing that, Yoon Han-gyeol kept asking.
“A method. What else could there be? If you avoid everything and hit everything, you win.”
“Oh… … What? Is it possible? Have you prepared some new technology?”
Yoon Han-gyeol asked with shining eyes.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I think Yoon Han-gyeol has a tendency to deify me too much.
We’ve already used so many new things in this match, but what new technique will turn the game around in a 2v4 situation?
If we really want to be specific, there is no other way than opening up ‘Mankae’.
If that’s the case, then you’ll be able to get the level of skills of top-tier players in the first division.
But of course I didn’t intend to do that, and instead… … there was one last thing I was hoping for.
“It’s not a new technology, but it is our last remaining hope.”
“what is that?”
“Out of the numerous maps in Hunter’s League, there are a few maps where matches don’t have a time limit.”
“however?”
“The ‘Palace of Dreams’ we’re playing on right now is also one of those maps. But do you know why those maps don’t have time limits?”
There’s no need to even think about it.
Because the answer is obvious.
“That’s because it’s a map where it’s impossible to hold out like that anyway.”
Well, now it’s time to decorate the long, long PER vs PSG finale.
***
“Gasp… … Gasp… … .”
“What the heck, Oshihwan? You were so sure, but you ran away after getting robbed?”
“Heh… … No, you guys fought against easy guys, so of course you won. And, what? It wasn’t me who lost, it was that bastard Han Ji-hoo.”
“It’s nice to see you defeated. It’s been a while. It’s nice to see you defeated~.”
“Enough small talk, this match is getting boring, let’s end it quickly. A bit. If it becomes an all-out war between 2 and 4, we’ll be crushed.”
Yes. This long game is finally coming to an end.
After this match is over, I should say something to Han Ji-hoo.
I didn’t like the fact that he was always so arrogant.
“They’re running towards the 9 o’clock direction. Let’s hurry up and finish up and have a company dinner. Isn’t this a 2nd division league win?”
“do whatever you want.”
And because PSG had a teammate with supporting ability, I could already see the guys with PER right in front of me.
“It’s a lost game anyway, so why are you running away? Running away. It’s so ugly. Let’s just end it with a fierce fight.”
Even though I didn’t want to say a word to the PER guys, I had no choice but to say these things.
“Are you just trying to tire us out? Or is it something like, you overcome it with your mind? A bit of an old-fashioned mindset?”
“… … .”
The PER guys didn’t answer.
Ha, well. It wasn’t something I expected an answer to anyway.
“Kids, let’s finish this.”
“Yes, senior!”
PSG’s O Si-Hwan flew in, and I focused my attention to support him with a shield and airbeat.
To finish quickly and accurately.
But at that moment. That guy. The one Lee Chang-hyun aimed after transforming his sword into something like a cannon was not us.
‘stomach…….’
Are you trying to buy time to kick up some dust and escape again? I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of you racking your brain.
But it soon became clear that this was not the case.
At some point, doppelgangers appeared from behind the collapsed wall, behind the guys, and behind our team.
‘How many people… … .’
I thought its trajectory was a bit strange, but it seemed to have a lot of tail attached to it and was attracting aggro.
But even that didn’t make sense.
Even if you bring in doppelgangers and make a mess of things, in the end the ones who will be at a disadvantage are the ones with fewer people.
Just as I was thinking that and about to continue fighting again.
“uh…….”
My body’s sensations became strange.
