152. Overturn
“Haha… … Now it’s a completely 1-on-1 situation without [Mana Expansion].”
Kang Jun-hyeok said, catching his breath, as if the backlash from the Mana Expansion had arrived.
‘Both Kang Jun-hyeok and I have been fighting a war of attrition for a long time. It would be impossible for either of us to use any great techniques in the fight from here on out.’
Since it was an opportunity given to me by Ryu Jae-jun, I absolutely did not want to lose. Even if my teammates lost to other LTD players and I lost the game, I wanted to win against Kang Jun-hyeok.
To be honest, I started this game thinking that I had almost no chance of winning, but I decided to play it to gain some experience.
‘There is no way in the world that a match starts with the intention of losing completely.’
“Do you remember the conversation we had at the party before?”
“Oh, you mean the one in Part 1 where you said to wait just one year?”
“I will prove it to you right here, right now.”
Yes, even though I haven’t fully grown yet and haven’t even opened [Full Bloom], I have many memories of winning before my return.
Among them, there are almost no experiences of matches that can be said to have been easy.
And yet, I did it.
And. Right now, in this place. The confrontation with Kang Jun-hyeok will be like that.
Move your still body, then use the airbeat and air anchor to launch yourself into the air again, then fire your gun repeatedly.
“I will hit Kang Jun-hyeok’s head and right arm.”
[The one who speaks and hits] Declaration. Perhaps, Kang Jun-hyeok, who watched the fight with Lee Geun-taek over his shoulder, will remember its destructive power.
Maybe that was why. He quickly moved and closed the distance using the ‘air dash’ that melee dealers often use.
By moving away from your original position, you can avoid bullets while closing the distance and take the offensive as a melee dealer.
It was a great choice.
‘But, the trajectory of the ballistic missile I shot is constantly being modified to follow Kang Jun-hyeok. He must know that too… … .’
In other words, no matter how much he dodges, it’s only for a moment. Unless he uses the air dash infinitely, Kang Jun-hyeok will be hit by the bullet he just fired.
Of course, if I fall, the bullet will lose its power and won’t be able to take down Kang Jun-hyeok.
“Actually, I was really impressed watching your last game.”
“?!”
“I’ve never put this much effort into thinking about how to deal with a domestic player before… … .”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled brightly as he quickly approached using Air Dash.
“Just watching that practice last time, it was enough to make my blood boil, to make me think about how I would have handled it if I was standing there. It was a heated match.”
I quickly stepped on the airbeat and flew up with my back to the sun, continuing to jump in a direction that was difficult for Kang Jun-hyeok to look at directly.
However, Kang Jun-hyeok’s air dash continued and the distance became closer.
“So. Did you think about how you’re going to deal with me in advance? Don’t feel too bad about losing to me. I’m your opponent.”
I can say that because he’s a player like Kang Jun-hyeok… … He’s pretty arrogant. Kang Jun-hyeok is great here, but he can’t even match up to half of my career before I returned.
At some point, Kang Jun-hyeok arrived in front of me.
A situation where they can no longer distance themselves. And at the same time, there is still time before the bullets chasing Kang Jun-hyeok reach them.
Kang Jun-hyeok took the initiative.
Sreung -.
A fleeting moment. Even though it was mid-air, it was an overwhelming sword strike.
I can’t see it, but maybe the clouds in the sky behind me have split in half.
but.
“It’s a close call.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s [Mana Unleashed] was destroyed, but my [Piercing Eyes] was not destroyed.
Of course, I won’t have enough mana to keep avoiding like this…
All I needed was a moment. Just enough time to endure that moment.
“Even avoiding this… … You. Are you really able to see the future?”
Kang Jun-hyuk’s expression of sincere bewilderment.
Yeah. It’s a lot better than the smug look from before.
Because this is more familiar to me.
Besides, it was my turn now.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword. Its speed and destructive power are incredible, but once the sword is drawn and released with great force, it cannot be struck in succession.
And my bullets can’t be blocked by something like a mana shield.
So, this long fight is now over.
… … That’s what I thought… …
Kiiing -.
Kang Jun-hyeok threw away the sword he had drawn without realizing it, and pulled out two daggers from his bosom. Then, with one of the daggers, he struck down the bullet that was about to reach Kang Jun-hyeok’s head.
“Keu-keu… … Chairman Lee Geun-taek would have just brushed off all this nonchalantly… … But still… … If only I knew where to get there… … !!”
It was a tremendous force.
‘No normal bullet would be able to deflect that bullet.’
As it was a bullet fired with power, its power was more than double. This time, like it was done to Chairman Lee Geun-taek, there was no point in shaking the orbit.
Even though he was Chairman Lee Geun-taek, it was difficult to block the bullet’s changing trajectory because the spear was long… … As if considering that, what Kang Jun-hyeok pulled out was a dagger.
“If you know where to go, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
‘Isn’t it true that even some psychological warfare or tricks won’t work… … .’
I thought that since I had been through a lot, I might have been looking down on Kang Jun-hyeok.
Even when the Korean Hunters League was still a marginal league in the world, there was such talent in Korea.
On the one hand, it was surprising.
Of course, even so, I didn’t feel like I was defeated.
‘However, it is unfortunate that this psychological warfare is not fair.’
The moment when Kang Jun-hyeok put his right arm forward as I had declared, and was about to swing the dagger on his left arm to block the bullet flying towards that arm.
This time the bullet curved.

‘It’s a problem if you think that the bullet’s target is set.’
That’s what I feel.
Contrary to Kang Jun-hyeok’s expectations that it would reach his left arm, the trajectory completely twisted in the middle and ended up heading towards Kang Jun-hyeok’s head.
The reaction was bound to be delayed.
Pishuk -.
The bullet pierced Kang Jun-hyeok’s head. The target and the place where it hit were different, so the destructive power of [the person who talks and hits] was not revealed. That was enough.
That ability was enough to blind Kang Jun-hyeok.
but……
‘There is no mana.’
It seemed like this was the only fight I could do.
No matter what happens next, at least in this game it won’t have much of an impact.
‘There’s nothing I can do anyway. I’ll surrender and go out and see you in the waiting room.’
The biggest burden has been lifted. The rest will be left to the team members.
***
Outside the stadium. Since it was a public game, I went out to the waiting room where many people were probably watching, and cheers erupted.
‘Did something upset you?’
The ridiculous trick that Kim Do-jun prepared really worked against LTD. Hmm. But when Kim Do-jun wins by using that trick… …
‘Woooooooooo… … .’
There were many people who frowned with the same low expression and looked at me with a nuance like, ‘Is that it?’
I thought that maybe Yoon Han-gyeol, who was the only trustworthy one, had caught one.
But, funny as that thought was, Yoon Han-gyeol was waiting in the waiting room. As usual, he was looking at me with his sparkling eyes and feeling burdened.
‘Uh huh… … But why doesn’t it seem like I’m only looking at Yoon Han-gyeol… … ?’
While he was in a daze for a moment, Lee Gil-han, Lee Yeon-joo, and even Han Ji-soo, who had been waiting in the waiting room, approached Yoon Han-gyeol.
“I ended up breaking it.”
Yoon Han-gyeol said, naturally wrapping his arm around her.
“Hey, I just saw that senior Kang Jun-hyeok’s name popped up. And the people here too.”
Han Ji-soo didn’t have her usual negative and sullen expression. Was that cheering earlier because she saw me and Kang Jun-hyeok fighting?
“Well, it was 2 on 1.”
I didn’t see you just a moment ago, so when did you come near? Ryu Jae-jun said, sticking out his fist.
“nice.”
A guy who grins and sticks out his fist. I think this is the first time I’ve faced a fist like this since returning.
“okay.”
This kind of thing too. It’s not bad.
When I thought about it slowly, I realized that this reaction wasn’t that hard to understand.
Although he showed overwhelming performance in the second part, he caught Kang Jun-hyeok, who is said to be the best in the first part LTD.
‘It’s 2 vs. 1, but… … Considering that he’s a user of [Mana Expansion], the other teams in Part 1 wouldn’t have been able to stand up to him even with 2, no, 3 people.’
But… …the game isn’t over yet.
Even though the biggest fight was over, I had practically used up all my mana, so it was as good as dying together with Kang Jun-hyeok.
The fate of the game was up to the remaining people.
“What is the situation now?”
He said this while looking at Lee Gil-han, who will remain as a standby player in place of Kim Yu-hyeon for this match.
***
‘I never thought the game would turn out like this… … .’
The cheers that erupted from the people watching the game in the waiting room. That was an overwhelming play. It was because the hunters were able to read the fight to some extent.
Of course, I didn’t know the exact principle…
“What’s clear is that Kang Jun-hyeok’s [Mana Expansion] collapsed due to the waves spread by that little brat.”
[Mana Expansion] A non-user is going to fight someone who uses [Mana Expansion]? And he’s going to destroy it?
If it were a normal Joara, she would have gritted her teeth and shouted that it was nonsense.
However, after seeing it with my own eyes, no matter how much I said it was a strange phenomenon, I couldn’t deny it.
Even if the price for it was to use up almost all of your mana.
The fight did not end there, but continued.
The opponent, as always, is Lee Chang-hyun.
‘This was an opportunity given to me by my teammates… ‘
This match is definitely a match where if you can’t stop Kang Jun-hyeok, you’re sure to lose. It’s obvious that Lee Chang-hyun has the strongest power, so I thought he’d be quite burdened.
Even though he couldn’t use [Mana Expansion], Kang Jun-hyeok was a hunter with top-tier status in Korea.
‘Even if it’s me… … I don’t think I can win even if Senior Kang Jun-hyeok seals [Mana Unleashed]… … ‘
Jo Ara herself is like that, so it wouldn’t be that strange for Lee Chang-hyun to lose. If that’s the case, then there’s something else to watch for.
For example, yes.
‘How will he show his last number like now… … .’
Lee Chang-hyun ‘declared’ that he would hit Kang Jun-hyeok’s spot and shot him.
I wondered if it was really necessary to say that and shoot… … but it might have something to do with the player’s ability, jinx, habit, or maybe it was a psychological warfare. So I turned off my attention to that part.
But of course.
‘It seems like you don’t really know why Kang Jun-hyeok is the natural enemy of long-range dealers.’
Senior Kang Jun-hyeok approached using an air dash, faster than the projectile fired by Lee Chang-hyun.
A pretty famous combo.
A close-range attack that could also be called a signature.
If you look at just the single power, it’s not much different from the [Sword Realm] mana expansion.
“… … ?!??!?”
“Wow… … that guy! He dodged that one”
“Your reflexes are definitely insane.”
The cheers erupted. Lee Chang-hyun dodged Kang Jun-hyeok’s attack as if he was in limbo.
‘How on earth do you do that… … .’
There was no time to even think about it.
I didn’t think it would be a problem. The bullet the guy shot somehow reached Kang Jun-hyeok.
That was the end of their fight.
“Kiya… … I didn’t know that such a monstrous guy would be in Part 2.”
“The future of our country’s hunter community is also bright.”
Most of the people who say things like that are the guys from the 3rd and 2nd divisions. The players from the 1st division are probably on guard, and many of them reacted similarly to me.
On the contrary, the LTD general manager, who was watching the game from a spacious seat on the right, seemed to be unable to hold back something and suddenly stood up from his chair.
A shocking situation that you can’t believe even after seeing it with your own two eyes.
‘So in the end, Lee Chang-hyun. That third-division player. No, that amateur guy beat Kang Jun-hyeok?’
Regardless of how the game went, the situation was so chaotic that Jo Ara couldn’t just sit still.
What the hell is going on? What is happening?
