Episode 237 The Way of the Weak

As the game progressed, the tension in the LTD waiting room continued to rise.

Battles that occur simultaneously.

Among them, the battle between Lee Garam and Lee Ji-hoon, which ended the earliest, ended in defeat.

PER’s opponent. He rendered Lee Seong-tae incapacitated and injured Yoon Han-gyeol, but the result was defeat.

That is why I hoped that in the other battles where fighting was continuing for a long time, defeat would not continue.

Even if he lost everywhere else, it would have been entirely possible for Kang Jun-hyeok to defeat everyone, but the best thing to do was not to go that far.

In the midst of all this, the situation where Oh Je-heon and Min-jeong, who had been completely cornered, suddenly make a bold move is completely immersive.

It was also a very tense, do-or-die situation.

[Caster: Player Han Ji-soo! This is a power you’ve never shown before! Have you discovered a new way to use your power? Ahhh… … This is big!]

Even as a hunter with sensitive senses, it would be difficult to control your body in the direction of gravity that has been completely reversed. No, because your senses are more sensitive, the confusion would inevitably be greater.

Oh Je-heon and Min-jeong were sucked into the air without even being able to step on the airbeat and were stuck to the ceiling.

It was a rare sight in the Hunters League, where he was unable to properly control his body.

When Ryu Jae-jun ran towards me, my heart sank.

“Oh, no!”

Minjeong has successfully blocked [the wave] so far. However, there is a high possibility that there will be some new way to strike, or some unknown method if they get close.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. Minjeong was lying on the ceiling, but she rolled to the side with surprising agility and avoided Ryu Jaejun’s gestures.

The time gained in this way was a sudden reversal due to Oh Je-heon’s meteorite, and in the end, the result of the small-scale battle was a victory for LTD with only Oh Je-heon surviving.

It was a victory that left the back covered in cold sweat.

If they had lost here, the match would have been a perfect blow to PER, who they thought was virtually inferior to their team in weight class.

[Commentator: It was a very hot scene. However, there are still some regrettable parts. The final PER reversal, it was a worthwhile attempt and had a high possibility.

But still. Just as it shows that a player cannot excel in everything, the finishing move, Ryu Jae-jun’s martial arts, was disappointing.]

My heart was pounding again as the scene replayed.

[Wow lol I almost flipped this over. You’re really strong]

ㄴ But Ryu Jaejun can’t catch the enemy hanging from the ceiling, it’s hilarious ㅋㅋㅋ It feels so silly.

Me, squirming around trying to catch a mosquito stuck to the ceiling. It feels like looking at a GIF.

N In the end, you couldn’t catch the mosquitoes? Hahahahahahahaha

Haha …

[One side is PER’s victory… …The other side is LTD’s victory. What happens?]

N What will happen? If Kang Jun-hyeok wins, it will all end there without any meaning.

ㄴ It’s clear that the situation is already so bad that there doesn’t seem to be anyone who can deal with Kang Jun-hyeok.

No, no~ I believe in Gotchanghyun’s undefeated record~

N The evil idiots have already joined us ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I don’t know what I didn’t expect.

I thought there was quite a difference in the team weight classes, but is it because our team’s condition is poor?

‘No… … That’s not it. It’s those guys.’

PER had grown beyond comparison to the data from the last practice match.

***

Meanwhile, the battle between Ryu Jae-jun and Han Ji-soo was nearing its end.

There was also a side that suddenly faced a crisis around the same time.

The situation was that Lee Yeon-ju, who would normally have been able to avoid her opponents with her location detection ability, was confronted by Ah-hyeon, who was called the puppeteer of LTD.

‘No matter how much I thought about it, it felt like an enemy, so I kept going in the opposite direction… … ‘

Unfortunately, the problem with this map was that it was a maze.

Even if you go the opposite way, you have no choice but to follow the path, but it is difficult to continue moving in the direction you want because you may encounter a dead end or the path you are currently on bends to the side.

I made eye contact with Ahyeon who was walking across the street and tried to equip an invisible cloak to hide, but it was already too late.

“… … .”

As Ahyeon, she was momentarily dumbfounded at the thought of trying to equip the Invisible Cloak when it was right in front of her.

Of course, there was no mercy in the next steps.

Woohoo -. Crash

Something poured out from inside Ahyeon, and mana flowed in, taking shape and becoming a giant robot-like form.

It was Ahyeon’s proud mana equipment.

‘I have to run away… … .’

Even if you try to bind him with something like before, he is an opponent with the ability to not allow a single hit.

As for Lee Yeon-ju, she had no choice but to run away quickly and try to reunite with her teammates.

Luckily, there were team members nearby whose locations were detected.

However, the problem was that since it was a three-dimensionally twisted maze, it was unknown whether the location was actually close or not.

Woof – Ta-tat!

The first one to move was Lee Yeon-ju. It was fortunate that she had taken the time to desperately learn the tricks of airbeat from Lee Chang-hyun while she was in the first part.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even if the humanoid mana equipment that looks like a high-tech robot is strong, it doesn’t matter. You can never catch up with it by stupidly walking along like that…

“… … .”

Woof woof! Whoosh!

Suddenly, I heard a loud noise and turned around to see an absurd scene unfolding.

This was because the giant mana equipment was flying towards Ahyeon, emitting powerful energy from its soles.

“What… what is that!”

Yes. I had a fleeting thought that this might be the kind of fantasy about robots that boys would enjoy.

I couldn’t help but feel horrified as I saw Lee Yeon-ju, who was running away using Airbeat, gradually catching up and getting closer.

‘It seems like Kim Yu-hyeon is getting closer… … .’

Even if it was located nearby, I had a feeling that if it was a different path, I might end up getting caught like this.

Now, at the moment when the distance was gradually closing with tremendous acceleration, Yeonju Lee, feeling that she couldn’t do it, turned onto the side road next to her.

And at that moment, I was able to smile brightly, surprisingly.

Because at the moment of crisis, Kim Yu-hyeon was standing in the direction that was turned in haste to find a way to survive.

“Whew… … I’m finally alive. What about the others?”

“It seems like everyone is too busy fighting to notice.”

“So now it’s time to counterattack? What do you think, Kim Yu-hyeon? Is the turret ready?”

Hoho… … Even Ahyeon’s mana equipment won’t be able to easily penetrate Kim Yuhyun’s turret area.

The prelude to the counterattack is about to begin… …

“That’s… … a little difficult. Actually, I’m being chased too.”

Boom! Boom!

Behind Kim Yu-hyeon, something was heard exploding with an explosive sound.

“Why that… … Mana cannot be used? There was someone who had the ability to do so. Was it Lee Jun-seo?”

What is this?

***

After this match started, Kim Yu-Hyeon was in quite a dilemma.

Kim Yu-Hyeon’s strongest weapon and advantage was his ability to control the region.

Because Kim Yu-Hyeon’s abilities included the ability to control terrain, create turrets, and create non-violent zones.

So, if it were normal, I would have taken control of the area after joining up with my teammates, or I would have taken control of the meeting point first.

In cases like this, it was even uncertain whether joining was possible or not.

If I just thought about it, it would be better to build turrets and create a safe zone before calling my teammates, but if multiple enemies came rushing in here, I didn’t have the confidence to fight against them.

‘Hmm… … But rather than continuing to worry, I guess I should make a move.’

So, when we started playing and talking to the PER teammates, the decision we made was simple.

First, let’s install a lot of turrets and create a safe zone. Then, there won’t be any problems.

Even if one of LTD’s opponents attacked, if it weren’t for Kang Jun-hyeok, he would have been able to win, and even if there were two of them, he would have been able to hold out for a while.

I thought so.

But, strangely enough, it didn’t take long for something strange to happen.

Surprisingly, the opponent only walked slowly towards Kim Yu-hyeon, but the turret did not move at all as if it was broken.

‘Mana… is… stopped?’

Only then did I realize.

The fact that the person walking past was Lee Jun-seo, who had made a name for himself as a counter to powerful abilities in Part 1.

Boom! Boom!

In Lee Jun-seo’s footsteps, only the remains of the turret remained, perhaps to avoid leaving any regrets behind.

… … … …

“This is what happened.”

When Lee Yeon-ju explained the situation, she was shocked.

I thought I had the advantage because my teammate had finally joined me, but in reality, I realized that both of them were being chased, and the shock from the gap seemed to have been even greater.

I couldn’t just sit there and watch Lee Yeon-ju sitting there like that.

Even now, it must be tightening on both sides.

Fighting is impossible… …

“Let’s run away.”

Lee Yeon-ju also came to her senses and stood up abruptly at those words.

Now that Lee Jun-seo is chasing me, I got off the road and went back to the original road.

Fortunately, Ahyeon seemed to have moved somewhat forward, perhaps because her momentum was not easily reduced in the air.

“Jump in the opposite direction!”

Of course, Lee Yeon-ju and Kim Yu-hyeon flew away while recklessly stepping on the airbeat without matching their words.

A chase between two people. Fortunately, it was a maze, so no matter how fast you were, it wasn’t easy to catch up.

No, rather, it was a map where there were many paths leading to different directions. It was also a map where it was easy to avoid combat once the opponent showed an opening.

“Huk… … Huk… … Did I get pushed away?”

Kim Yu-hyeon sat on the corner of the street and glanced to the side as he spoke.

“I don’t think he knows exactly what’s here, but he’s coming this way.”

Lee Yeon-ju’s location tracking ability was still shining. Even though she couldn’t find the exact path because it was a maze, she was already on the same path as the opponent.

This was because the route could be predicted to some extent.

“Shall we run deeper?”

So, while Lee Yeon-ju was talking about running away a little more, Kim Yu-hyeon didn’t answer, so she turned her head and stared blankly.

Kim Yu-hyeon was touching his chin as if he was thinking deeply about something.

“Kim Yu-hyeon?”

“… … No? I don’t think that’ll be necessary. This is where I was chasing Lee Jun-seo earlier. This place is probably… … .”

“… … .”

Lee Yeon-ju couldn’t help but be quite surprised by what Kim Yu-hyeon said next.

Since the map is a maze, I could use it that way to trick my opponent. All I could say was an exclamation of admiration.

“Yeah. It’s not like we have to defeat the opponent together to win.”

It’s not that the Hunters who assist in battle are inferior to the Hunters who stand at the forefront and don’t come forward.

They just position themselves in the best positions and roles for themselves, depending on their respective roles.

They had their own way of fighting.

“Let’s begin.”

Kim Yu-hyeon’s quiet words announced the beginning.

Ahyeon and Lee Junseo were slowly approaching.
