Episode 205: Basic Fight
[Wave]… … It was a much more annoying ability than I thought.
‘Wasn’t it for nothing that the hunters with super senses were struck by that wave and staggered?’
Isarang smiled bitterly. I thought that even among hunters, their mental strength and tenacity were special. However, I came to the cold judgment that they would not be able to endure this.
Even if I was in good health, it would be difficult to win, and I failed to block the [Dimensional Gate], which the coach had taught me all the secrets and tactics to block.
As a result, there are only four YYG team members here right now. Conversely, there are seven PER members.
There was clearly no way out.
“Kuuuuuu… … Haa. [Waves] are so fucking shaky. But you guys. You know what? The Hunter’s League ain’t over until it’s over.”
If this wasn’t a map called [Daesurim], it definitely would have been like that.
This love used the [Blood Flow] ability to materialize the blood that she had to spit out in handfuls as [Wave] into a weapon.
Thin, long, and above all, pointed.
This [Daesurim] always has a chance for a great turnaround. I thought of the characteristics of the map that I studied every day with this coach.
‘Deep in the forest floor, usually anywhere, the plants are waiting for their prey, ready to devour it.’
So, whenever that may be.
When it looks like you’re going to lose. If it’s the [Great Forest] map, use the strongest blow you can to strike the ground.
Then, the ‘Ground Eater’, waiting for a huge prey underground at the top of the food chain of this [Great Forest], will appear.
With the coach’s voice still ringing in my ears.
All the blood that poured out here and there from [Wave] came together and formed into one giant spear.
“Let’s all die together.”
The spear was fired with great force at the floor where Isara was standing.
Kieeeeeeeek!
The situation of the battle has changed again.
***
Abigyuhuan. That phrase was a perfect fit for the situation.
It was as if the first generation of hunters were reenacting the past when they had to go into the tower themselves and conquer it only to face extreme difficulties.
Perhaps because it lives underground, it boasts a very hard shell, and the numerous tentacles and huge mouths attached to its stems begin to attack like whips.
When the sudden change occurred, PER also formed a camp to respond, but it was not very meaningful.
‘Isn’t it one?’
Even one of them looked tough, but the ground beneath my feet shook as the guys came up.
Isarang was looking this way and smiling.
“Every strategy should have a plan B in case it fails. That’s what our coach said. I think you need to hear it.”
It’s annoying.
But it was also a familiar strategy.
In the past, during [Hunters the Next Generation], when I fought against Chairman Lee Geun-taek, it was a strategy I also used.
When the balance is tilted too sharply, there is no easier or more powerful way to turn things around than to rely on the characteristics of the map.
That’s why it’s a basic skill for a hunter to become familiar with various maps and terrains and learn their special characteristics.
Yes, that is ‘basic knowledge’.
“Chang-Hyeon! These guys, even if you block them with a sword, you can’t cut them down. If you keep going like this, you’ll definitely get pushed back.”
“Maybe because they’re plant guys, if you shoot them with [Wave], they’ll just stagger back once. Then they’ll attack again in an instant. Are there any other weaknesses?”
Of course, as is the case in any field, there are basics that you can’t learn everything about, and that you have to learn throughout your life.
So, people who are good at the basics can do more.
Even before the return, I have been steadily learning the terrain and characteristics of each new tower.
“There can’t be no weaknesses. If there were, then all the tower hunters who passed this floor would have died?”
Of course, the people who climbed to the top first were also like that.
This plant is surrounded by a hard shell, as if it were wearing armor.
Perhaps a ‘ground eater’ that reacts when a large vibration or strong energy is shot directly onto the ground.
Fast, menacing, and hard-shelled, but… …
As with any solid armor.
In order to make something like that move, it had to have proper joints to allow movement.
As if human armor were separated into parts at each joint.
If so, the weakness is obvious.
It seemed as if the memories of when I first met Kim Do-jun after returning were vivid.
After we first met, what you showed me in the practice room was similar.
“It won’t be difficult. Just do it like this.”
Just like cutting a fruit with a hard shell along the grain. Cutting through the cracks in the hard shell. Cutting along one of the veins.
It seems like things that were originally separate are being separated again.
So that it falls naturally without requiring any force.
It’s a strategy that utilizes the characteristics of the [Daesurim] map. It’s quite fresh and good.
As a player, coach, and manager participating in the Hunters League, YYG wasn’t the only one who thought and worried every day.
“If you think you’re the only ones who know, the same thing will happen again in the future. Strategy is good, but in the end, there comes a time when you have no choice but to fight yourself.”
So, wouldn’t both of them have to do well to win?
Thud thud thud -.
The ‘Ground Eaters’ that had been shaking the ground and resonating around the [Dimensional Gate] were falling apart like cut vegetables.
The game was almost over without any further action.
***
Taking advantage of the surrounding neutral monsters on the map or their special characteristics is an essential skill for a hunter, but it varies greatly depending on the hunter’s level.
It was only natural that there was a big difference between simply knowing something intellectually and actually using it.
In the case of the Korean Hunters League, since the first generation of hunters suffered catastrophic damage, there weren’t many people who could train them or educate them directly.

Perhaps due to that influence, there weren’t many teams in the Hunters League that were good at utilizing map variables.
Is that why?
When Isarang stabbed the ground with a giant blood spear and suddenly huge plant monsters appeared, the cheers went wild.
[Caster]: With the space teleportation skill, YYG tries to turn the situation around when the score suddenly becomes 7 vs. 4! It seems that they provoked the neutral monsters of [Daesurim]… …!
[Commentator]: In a situation where the odds are 7 to 4, the difference in team weight is so significant that they will be pushed back even if they are pushed back! If this situation can be turned around, it will be a do-or-die situation. I think that as much as YYG suffers, PER will suffer as well.
Or… … Maybe. Maybe they planned to use that place as the YYG rendezvous point from the beginning, assuming that they wouldn’t be able to stop the operation to open a teleportation portal!
[Wow lol, how far is YYG looking? It’s just scary.]
ㄴ I don’t know for sure, but it seems like the knowledge of players who give orders at the level of NaXwiki is vast. After the map is decided, the coach can’t say anything.
N But is that a plant? Is it really a plant? A plant that catches hunters appearsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Humans are going to perish like dogs
ㄴ Even Yoon Han-gyeol, who was just flying around 1v1, can’t use his strength. The sword just bounces off?
Amidst the heated response not only at the analysis desk but also in the chat window.
The reactions of Jo Jun-ho and Lee Geun-taek, who were watching this, were also heated.
“How many maps are there in Hunter’s League? You even prepared something like that. Hehe… … .”
“That’s right. Aside from studying the map, it seems like you’ve also anticipated certain situations that might arise on that map… … Judging by the speed at which you respond.”
Of course, if Lee Geun-taek or Jo Jun-ho were there, it would have been easy to think of a number, but those there were not real hunters who had been attacking the tower.
He was a player who simply opened a book by himself and studied by looking at each appropriate photo, video, and record, thinking, “Oh, there’s something like this.”
YYG’s consistent study proved that they had hit the mark.
But I also knew it wouldn’t end here.
“But that’s a method Lee Chang-hyun has been using since he wasn’t even in his third year.”
At that time, I had been using the map to figure out things that Lee Geun-taek didn’t know. I didn’t think [Daesurim] would be much different.
just as expected.
The very next scene was met with wild cheers.
A plant that is much larger than a human, but has a shell that cannot be pierced by a hunter’s sword.
Lee Chang-hyun flew up once with the air anchor as if he was performing a stunt in the air, and then cut down with a very natural and smooth movement.
It was a blow that took advantage of the creature’s ‘determination’.
Did Lee Chang-hyun know about that creature, [the Great Forest], in advance?
Or is it information obtained through Lee Geun-taek’s ability to see into something whose identity he does not know?
I don’t know.
but……
“This match reminds me of my old colleagues.”
I couldn’t help but wonder what it would have been like if Lee Chang-hyun had been born a little earlier and had been a hunter exploring the tower like Lee Geun-taek.
If that were the case, it would certainly have been like a light that opened the way forward.
***
“What was that at the end? How on earth did you cut it?”
“What? You don’t know even after seeing it?”
Lee Chang-hyun was giving Yoon Han-gyeol a hard time.
Still, everyone’s expressions were bright, perhaps because they had won brilliantly in the first match.
‘More than anything, I think there will be a proper scene where I appear in this highlight… … .’
Of course, the most exciting thing was that, unlike any other game so far, it was the main character, Gilhan Lee, who had a scene that could be called the main character.
“Do dealers always feel like this?”
Finally, Lee Gil-han, who could no longer hold back, opened his mouth.
Of course, the plan wasn’t perfect, and I almost fell into a trap using the opponent’s [Great Forest].
The feeling of Lee Gil-han, who added his own clone ability to [Dimension Gate] and successfully fought off many more opponents on his own, was special.
To Lee Gil-han, who, far from defeating his opponent, had merely been pushing and blocking him.
This sense of having played a ‘special role’ was truly new.
It felt like an ordinary police officer whose main job was patrolling the neighborhood had become Agent 007.
At those words, Lee Chang-hyun came over with a sly smile.
He put his arm on my shoulder as if he was plotting a plot.
“Isn’t it great?”
Even though he was younger, it felt strange to hear him speak as if he were an older man talking to children who were happy about accomplishing something.
But as a player, he is much better, and it is true that there is a difference like that between an adult and a child.
I just admitted it honestly.
“I think I know why you keep being a hunter?”
I made eye contact with Lee Chang-hyun and giggled.
But, the heart-pounding tension, the crazy feeling that everything depends on my movements, and the sense of accomplishment when I do it.
I felt that this intensity was something I could not feel anywhere else.
fantasy,
