148. More intense than I thought
The Hunters League, a dog-eat-dog world where the fittest survive.
There are many teams in the Hunters League, and each team has its own ‘winning formula’.
A play that calculates and falls into place with excellent order. A play that somehow causes an engagement and wins the fight. A team play that wins the team fight with strong team play, etc.
Having the most wins in that Hunters League naturally meant that the team had the strongest and most diverse winning formula.
“Wow… … Those guys. They said it was part 2. Is it really part 2? They got the first move against LTD?”
“Kang Jun-hyeok must be quite flustered as well. He has been completely swayed by PER tactically up until now.”
“By the way, an ambush in an apartment? That’s quite a tricky thing to do.”
“If things continue like this, won’t PER just really win… … ?”
That’s why. I thought it was good. Even though PER is excellent right now and LTD is completely eaten up in strategy…
Because I never thought that LTD would give up easily.
As expected, PER’s ambush play was about to continue.
This was because Kang Jun-hyeok turned the game upside down with a devastating blow that broke the flow.
“Oh oh……!”
‘Now I can finally see the true nature of PER.’
Jo Ara, who was watching the game, had shining eyes.
***
We split up and explored to wage an all-out war while taking into account the sacrifices of our team members.
I never thought I would come up empty-handed like this.
‘I guess Lee Chang-hyun is much better at strategy and tactics than I thought.’
For Kang Jun-hyeok, it was as good as having already been through it once, so he had no choice but to change his way of playing.
Even if we split up and explored again like before, only LTD team members would be sacrificed. It didn’t seem like it would change the situation much.
“Ugh… … I can’t help it. Even if it’s a bit difficult, let’s do it the ignorant way.”
“That’s what I told you.”
The LTD team member’s loud voice could be heard through the earphones.
“I can feel the mana, so it doesn’t seem like it went far. I’m going to cut it down right now. Don’t let it run away. This time, I’m really watching it properly.”
“of course.”
With those last words, mana began to gather around Kang Jun-hyeok.
‘Even if I were to write this, I didn’t know I would write it this quickly. And I didn’t know I would write it in this form… … .’
Lee Chang-hyun. Maybe it’s his tactics? He’s always beyond imagination.
“Haaaaaap -.”
A strong wind pressure blew out the sword from the scabbard that Kang Jun-hyeok had lifted.
Immediately after that.
Shararak -.
There was a sound of something being cut countless times.
Not very loud. It was a very clean sound.
But the backlash was by no means small.
Kugugugugugugugugugu… … !!!
This was because, with Kang Jun-hyeok at the center, everything in the apartment, including the walls and the floor, began to shatter and collapse.
‘I never thought I’d use ‘Mana Unleashed’ before I even met him in a proper match.’
Anyway, I’m telling you, he’s the guy who makes it impossible to do things roughly.
“No, senior, why did you cut so much! Where I step, it’s going to collapse… …!”
“If you can’t even handle that, just get crushed and watch me perform.”
“How could I do that? Huh… … Even so, is it really necessary to put all your effort into a practice match, even if it’s only for a short time? I never imagined I’d see [Sword Realm] today.”
“It’s not like it’s going to be long, and it’s not that hard if it’s just for a little while like now. Anyway… … I think I found it.”
As the apartment was instantly destroyed by Kang Jun-hyeok’s [Sword Realm], the PER guys had no choice but to move to avoid being swept away by the debris.
As I walked outside, stepping on the debris from the collapsed building.
Lee Chang-hyun and the PER team members came into view.
“You’re finally showing your face.”
“That’s a radical way to find people.”
That was actually my first encounter with Lee Chang-hyun in this match.
***
If you hide in a building, you can destroy the building. It is a tactic that is quite possible for a hunter with strong abilities.
However, not only would it consume a tremendous amount of mana, but it was by no means an easy task to scorch such a wide area as now.
‘But I never thought I’d unleash [Mana Expansion]… … .’
It’s a cold weapon that’s not at all suitable for destroying buildings. Who would have thought that a sword could destroy a building?
I don’t know if Kang Jun-hyeok was aiming for that, but the blow that tore down the building didn’t only affect the building.
At the same time as the building and the behemoth collided, Lee Yeon-ju and Han Ji-soo were instantly killed by the slaughter.
‘It’s quite hot and refreshing.’
At the same time, the building collapsed, opening up the view.
“You’re finally showing your face.”
On the side where the sound was coming from, Kang Jun-hyeok was looking at me with a smile.
“That’s a radical way to find people.”
“Should I just hide and never fight you guys?”
In a collapsing building, there is a brief moment of petty joking.
Kang Jun-hyeok and I, without anyone knowing who would go first, quickly reorganized our battle formation.
However, unlike LTD, PER was not only concerned with the immediate opponent.
“… … Overhead!! Get out of here!”

This was because the apartment building had collapsed and was now exposed, making it possible for Oh Je-heon’s meteorites to target it again.
Kwakwagwang.
Given the circumstances, it was difficult for PER to even properly organize its formation.
‘It’s all Kang Jun-hyeok’s Mana Unleashed. Did that one thing change everything about the current situation…? … ‘
A powerful mana attack that even changes the terrain. It was a moment where you could get a glimpse of its utility.
Through the earphones, I could hear the voices of my team members asking for orders.
“Now it seems like the ambush operation is over… … What are we going to do?”
There is no time to reorganize or implement other strategies.
I thought it was completely dried up, but this time it seems I got caught up in Kang Jun-hyeok’s technique.
I can’t do it.
“What can we do in this situation? After all, isn’t the Hunters League about fighting with your body?”
That was the extent of the benefits that tactics could provide. After that, all that remained was the battle.
“Hyun-i, watch out and use the Invisible Cloak, and when you’re ready, use [Fortification] all at once to provide cover.
And the rest of you will repel your opponents by operating with the comrade group you formed before. Got it?”
“okay.”
It seems like the other side also had a rough estimate. They started to attack in earnest.
Except for Kim Do-jun and Yoon Han-gyeol, who mainly rely on individual skills in their fights.
I went with Jaejun to the enemy camp’s innermost part, Kang Junhyeok.
The game ended up being a mess anyway.
The flow of the game, which was unfolding amidst the mix, could no longer be reversed.
In that case, you have no choice but to go with the flow.
“You came here after seeing the blow that destroyed the apartment earlier… … It’s funny.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled faintly as he approached me and Ryu Jae-jun.
“Well, I’m good at destroying buildings too. I wish you had seen my audition.”
Ryu Jae-jun burst into laughter when he heard that.
“That’s true. Besides that time, there have been many instances where they’ve broken down buildings to escape. This guy isn’t a total bomber.”
“That’s right. I thought it would be a much lighter match, but I didn’t think it would be this strong. Even though he’s a promising prospect that I’ve been looking forward to, I regret thinking that it’ll be okay since it’s the second half.”
“Do you regret scheduling this practice match ahead of such a big match as the International League?”
“you’re welcome.”
Kang Jun-hyuk said with a big smile.
“Now that we’ve come this far, let’s show them the power of a team playing in an international league.”
Unlike the brief spread earlier, dense mana rushed to Kang Jun-hyeok again, creating a specific flow.
“It’s a service I give to my juniors.”
As Kang Jun-hyeok faced me and Ryu Jae-jun, his ‘Mana Unleashed’ [Sword Realm] spread out.
***
Meanwhile, unlike other players, there were some who were watching the match in the practice waiting room.
It was the general director of LTD and the director of the 3rd LTD who happened to follow him. It was Lee Hyeong-geun.
Unlike the increasingly excited atmosphere of the onlookers outside, the atmosphere in the waiting room was extremely cold and calm.
“Is this how the game is going to go… … .”
That guy, Kang Jun-hyeok. I came because he told me to come watch the game. But I didn’t feel like Team LTD was in a very good shape.
From the beginning, the strategy was messed up and I couldn’t perform properly, as if I was tripping over my own feet, and in the end, didn’t it lead to a situation where Kang Jun-hyeok even used [Mana Unleashed]?
‘No… … Strictly speaking, that’s not it. It might be ‘something that made it tangled.’
The commander of PER, who selected the map and location as if he could read my thoughts. I thought it might be due to Lee Chang-hyun’s influence.
“But that alone isn’t enough… … .”
As the general manager muttered quietly to himself, Lee Hyeong-geun also seemed to agree and spoke loudly.
“That’s right. It wasn’t really worth coming to see, was it? It was okay that he brought out Kang Jun-hyeok’s [Mana Unleashed] as a rookie, but that’s all.
“Wouldn’t it be settled once and for all now?”
“Hmm… … That’s definitely true.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s Mana Expansion. [Sword Realm]. Its destructive power is also top-notch, and it can cut down almost everything within the area.
The ability to demonstrate fraudulent performance.
That area is now activated in that fight.
Moreover, the ones dealing with them are none other than PER’s commanders and aces, Lee Chang-hyun and Ryu Jae-jun.
I thought that once that came out, the game would be settled and over in an instant.
‘In the end, it just reconfirmed Junhyeok’s abilities.’
Well, I felt like he had some potential, as much as he made a fuss about being the number 0 recruit…
However, no matter what, it was still too shabby to compare that rookie with Kang Jun-hyeok, the current emperor of the Korean Hunters League Division 1.
… … The moment I thought that.
“Ohhhhhhhhh!”
A loud cheering noise could be heard outside the waiting room.
[Sword Realm] was activated, so I thought the match was almost over and was just wrapping things up. What on earth happened?
I turned my head again in confusion and looked at the place where Kang Jun-hyeok, Lee Chang-hyun, and Ryu Jae-jun were facing off, but nothing had changed.
‘There’s not much time left to activate [Sword Realm], so I’ll have to fight right away… … Nothing has changed?’
Only then did the general manager of LTD realize.
The fact that the battle structure remains unchanged even after [Mana Expansion] occurs makes even more sense.
So while I was looking at it again and again.
I knew it.
Kang Jun-hyuk swung his arms, creating countless slashes and spewing them out.
The countless, rapid tragedies that occur so densely that they seem like flowers are blooming.
Even for a hunter with superhuman abilities, it seemed impossible to avoid it.
but.
The surroundings were in total ruin as if a great disaster had swept through.
Lee Chang-hyun was standing there, seemingly unharmed.
