164. The vain ending
The broadcast booth where the game was being broadcast. From there, the PERs were still scattered and were about to charge in.
[Commentator: Ah… …! Player Lee Chang-hyun. I guess you’ve finally made a decision. If you don’t make a decision and take too long, your opponent will discover the relic inside and the fight will be very disadvantageous… …!
[Caster: So you made a decision to rush in right away before that happened!]
[Commentator: The problem is how to distribute the personnel and charge in… … Here, there is the problem of how many teams should be divided into to charge in, or should all PER team members charge in together?]
[Caster: If each person’s personal combat is strong, it would be better to split them up, or to enter in as few pieces as possible!]
But it’s funny how those words came out. All seven members of PER’s team scattered and started to charge towards the opposing team.
At this point, Jo Ara, who was watching, was speechless.
Tactically speaking, I thought, have you given up?
‘Of course, if you charge in from a distance, you can surround your opponent… … and it will also be advantageous for finding relics… … .’
The terrain there was clearly a battlefield where it would be difficult to take advantage by encircling.
I thought he would come up with something unexpected, given what he’s shown so far, but it was a bit disappointing.
‘It’s obvious by now.’
Under the command of Cho Soo-yeon, TAM will finish off PER in that temple.
There was nothing more to see.
There is no reason to watch a game that is already over.
Joara was slowly getting ready to get up.
In fact, the story that TAM is too advantageous kept flowing out on the screen.
[Commentator: Huh… Huh? TAM! You’ve completely read PER’s movements, so you’re going with a one-on-one strategy. All of TAM are attacking Lee Chang-hyun!]
[Caster: This is a crisis, Lee Chang-hyun! And right now, it’s hard to see much effect from your aerial maneuvers or shooting abilities, which are your strengths!]
But, the very next moment was the problem.
[Caster: Lee Chang-hyun! Even if there are 7 opponents, I can’t take it like this! I’ll keep shooting even if TAM is hiding behind the mana protector!]
[Commentator: Ahh… … But, you can’t break through the mana protector like that. It’ll just be a war of attrition, and in that case, the one with the overwhelming advantage is TAM, with 7 people… … ]
As the commentator continued to talk about TAM’s advantage, his voice suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere changed.
‘… … Is something wrong? If Lee Chang-hyun dies like that, the game will be over.’
The moment Joara got up and looked back after finishing tidying up.
Tata tata tata!
The camera captured the shooting scene from Lee Chang-hyun’s point of view.
‘Why are you shooting so many shots that will be blocked by the mana protector anyway? They’re just for deterrence anyway.’
It’s foolish. In such a war of attrition, you should save the resources you spend on restraint. Especially if you have to hold out until your teammates come to help.
But the commentator was praising this scene.
[Commentator: There was a secret hidden in this scene! Player Lee Chang-hyun. Amazing! Not only did he have overwhelming technique, but he also pretended to use psychological warfare to restrain, but he was actually targeting TAM players!!]
‘Aiming at TAM’s players… …?’
Only then did Joara see the survival status of each team’s players displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Clearly, they were blocked by the mana protector, but TAM’s players were dying one by one.
It’s at an angle that’s impossible to hit, and it’s probably blocked by a mana protector.
What the heck? What the hell happened? Did the bullet just pass through the mana protector like a ghost?
[Caster: This must be a disaster for TAM… What do you think, commentator?]
[Commentator: Ah. The replay is coming up now. From Lee Chang-hyun’s perspective. Well… … If you look, he’s firing in rapid succession, but there’s also recoil, and the direction of the shots is slightly off. On top of that… … Hmm. Looking at the bullets now, the trajectory of the bullets seems to change a little bit. It’s like this… … It bounces after hitting, and completely deviates from its initial trajectory. Like this. This is how TAM’s player was hit.]
‘Do-tan… …? Do-tan shooting?’
Joara couldn’t close her mouth, which had opened without her knowing it.
***
Meanwhile, on the other side of the stands, cheers also came from the side where Lee Jeong-hoon was watching the game.
I couldn’t help but admire Lee Chang-hyun’s ricochet shots that were aimed precisely at the opponent and bounced off.
Lee Jeong-hoon smiled happily at the sight and checked the Internet community.
[Hey~ Hide~ You can still get them all even if you hide~]
N Mana Protector is destroyed like a dog lol
There’s not even a single square thing, right?
Wow, but this is really crazy… … At that level, he would probably be the top long-range dealer in our country.
What is a long-range dealer? It’s probably just the top dealer.
[What? Why is he so good? Isn’t he a 2nd division player?]
n “Real”
No, you don’t know Lee Chang-hyun? Even though it’s only been part 2 so far, lol
Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you’re doing ㅋㅋ
I won the Hunter’s League audition or something, went into the 3rd division team that lost all their matches, and as the owner, coach, and player, I won all the matches and was promoted to the 2nd division. I also got 1st place in the 2nd division and am currently in the promotion/relegation match. There’s also a story that I beat Kang Jun-hyeok 1-on-1 in a practice match.
n Let’s put aside what was said before and stop it, you damn fool. Even if you’re joking, do it to the best of your ability.
‘Heh. You stupid guys… … It’s all true… … .’
I think it’s still too early to believe in our Chang-Hyeon’s skills.
Is this what it feels like to see someone ahead of their time?
I couldn’t stop laughing.
Because that person was like a teacher to me.
I have to go home and tell my mom later.
By the way, Han Ji-hoo, who was still next to me, still had a sullen expression.
Do you still not know the greatness of that play? Still, he played in the Hunters League 2nd division with Chang-Hyeon hyung, so his level is low.
There’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to make you realize it yourself.
“I guess you don’t know how great that is… … .”
“No, no. It’s all fake.”
“What? Are you an elementary school student?”

Oh my… … Tsk.

Meanwhile, in the place where the 1 vs. 7 battle between Lee Chang-hyun and TAM was taking place, there was a scene of total chaos.
“Jo Soo-yeon! Soo-yeon! Come to your senses. In the end, you’re only going to have one opponent!”
Perhaps because of the great shock, Jo Soo-yeon is unable to quickly give orders for the next response.
Unable to leave her alone any longer, TAM’s Lee Young-hyun screamed into his earphones.
“This is a do or die situation! There’s no point in staying behind the mana protector anyway. You’ll just be sitting there and becoming a target. Cover them all at once! All at once! There’s only one opponent left anyway!”
Jo Soo-yeon barely regained her senses when she saw Lee Young-hyun desperately screaming.
‘That’s right… … That’s right.’
Although two TAM members have already died, Lee Chang-hyun’s share of PER will be even greater.
In addition, the guy’s specialty, aerial maneuvers, were still blocked, so rather than taking advantage of the cramped space where several people could crowd together, they continued to rush in and hold him back so he couldn’t aim his gun accurately.
That’s what TAM had to do now.
If we continue like this, we’ll just end up as a target standing still.
‘It’s my… my fault. If only we had all rushed in from the beginning without thinking about things like attrition. Would things have been different then?’
Jo Soo-yeon felt guilty about herself. She felt pain for presenting the wrong strategy and vision to her team members. Carrying those feelings, she rushed to Lee Chang-hyun along with her team members.
However, the process was not easy.
“There are too many mana protectors… …! It’s impossible to attack them all at once.”
The mana protector that was supposed to create cover and prevent the collapse of the collapsed temple, which already had limited movement area, was too much of a hassle.
The mana protector, which could not be dismantled once installed, was now a structure for the enemy.
“If not all at once, at least two or more. Go in and keep pushing them. That would make it difficult to fire accurately.”
That triggered another fierce fight.
TAM’s team members continue to pour in towards Lee Chang-hyun like a tidal wave.
It was as if Lee Chang-hyun was the enemy of his parents. He rushed at them with a dagger and whip, taking advantage of the narrow space.
The results were dire.
This was because Lee Chang-hyun, who had switched back to a pistol, fired again at the TAM team members who were rushing towards him as if he had been waiting for it.
Tata tang! Tata tang! Tata tata tang!
“Uh… … So, the mana shield can’t… … block… … .”
“Nonsense.”
However, TAM, who was honestly rushing in, only gave Lee Chang-hyun a good shooting opportunity.
“Hit the head.”
Just quietly tell the guys who are rushing at you where you are going to shoot, and then shoot them for real.
Like a moth flying into a flame.
The fight between Lee Chang-hyun and Kang Jun-hyeok that was reported to have happened some time ago.
The thrill I felt there. No, it was so overwhelming that I felt awe.
‘Something like that… … How on earth… … should I deal with it… … .’
Close combat, skills, tactics, even abilities. It was a complete defeat.
Suddenly, the only TAM team members left are Jo Soo-yeon and Lee Young-hyun.
Did Lee Young-hyun also feel the same way that Jo Soo-yeon felt?
“I’m dying!”
It might have been a choice that could be made because they realized that they had lost the game anyway.
Lee Young-hyun ran towards Lee Chang-hyun with mana bombs packed all over his body.
Even if we all died. Even if we lost this game. The determination to do something about it.
It was as if the glare that bordered on madness was visible in those two eyes, as if they could never fall into the second part.
Certainly, if it was that, then Lee Chang-hyun would not be able to avoid it since it was such a narrow place.
I’ll probably lose this game.
Still, they will not have to bear the stigma of losing 7-1 to one of the ace players from the second division in the relegation match.
What is that.
I never wanted anything like that.
However, Lee Chang-hyun’s movements were strange.
‘Don’t move… … .’
Normally, he would have fired a bullet to keep them from getting closer, but the guy was acting relaxed as if he didn’t care that Lee Young-hyun, who was about to blow himself up while dangling a bunch of mana bombers, was approaching him.
And as the distance between the two gradually grew closer, Lee Young-hyun’s expression brightened noticeably.
A distance that is absolutely unavoidable. And a sure fatal hit. No, a distance that will kill anyone who comes to this place.
The moment Lee Young-hyun was about to activate the Mana Bomber, Lee Chang-hyun placed his hand on Lee Young-hyun’s head.
“No matter what you do, you’re going to die anyway… … .”
A sacred white light flashed briefly in his hand.
Lee Young-hyun falls.
dump.
And then Lee Chang-hyun shot the gun.
Soup -.
… … That was the end.
Lee Young-hyun had the same expression as before. He was lying comfortably as if nothing had happened.
I was the only one left.
Filled with the light streaming in through the cracks in the roof of the collapsed temple. TAM’s team members who were hiding behind the wall. Turning their backs on Lee Chang-hyun who had slaughtered the team members who rushed at him.
As if dead, without making a sound, behind the mana protector. Trembling.
I was the only one who survived like that.
But how did you know?
“You’re not going to jump in?”
Because of the mana protector, it must have been difficult to sense the energy. As if he knew where you were hiding. The guy stared exactly in the direction where I was hiding behind the mana protector.
“Hmm… … Still, since it’s a first-tier promotion match, I don’t think it’d be a good idea to play a match that you’ll regret. Have you lost your motivation? Well then, I’ll show you something nice as a gift.”
“Because you are the last.”
Tata tata tata tata!
Unlike before, it was a continuous sound that made it impossible to even tell how many shots were fired.
Immediately after that sound, numerous golden lights flashed before my eyes.
It was a reflection of the guy’s numerous bullets colliding with each other, creating a completely new trajectory.
How long did it take for me to watch its orbit, as if watching small fireworks unfold before my eyes?
There was only one thing I remembered.
Finally, when the orbits of those bullets interlocked and interlocked, they finally reached me.
The only thing that was beautiful was the way the guy’s bullets glowed in the sunlight streaming through the gap in the roof.
After that, my vision became increasingly blurry.
Unlike when he faced other players in the Hunter’s League, did he die without even feeling any pain?
In front of my increasingly blurry vision, the scene at [The Last Temple] was clearly visible.
That was my last memory of the relegation match.

“Uh… … The game is over? I haven’t even seen a single member of the opposing team yet?”
Kim Do-jun’s voice, saying something stupid, echoed through the earphones.
