Episode 249 Beyond Imagination
‘Might makes right… …’
Although the Chinese player was wrong, I honestly agree with some of what Wei said.
In fact, even the Hunters League we are in now has a strong tendency like that.
Everyone tries to schedule practice matches against strong teams, and it is not easy for weak teams to even schedule practice matches.
Not only that? Even though most people don’t say it out loud, when they go to events like international exchanges, they know the level and reputation of each league, so they often subtly divide themselves into ranks and act accordingly.
Unlike other sports, the Hunters League was like that from the beginning, so it wasn’t really something unusual.
‘In some ways, it may not be wrong to say that Way’s story is based on the relics and slaughter that used to happen as a custom in the tower.’
Especially when compared to something like Taekwondo, which aims to train the mind and body and cultivate self.
But I had no intention of agreeing with Wei’s words.
Wasn’t it they who started a fight by saying things like “just looking at the players is hurting their reputation” and meddlesomely? And they were targeting our team members.
“But I also think that what that child said is right. Then what should I do? Should I ask that Haiyan guy to spar with me?”
I walked towards Lee Jeong-hoon with a smile on my face and said.
At that sight, Way took a step back and looked at me with interest.
If you turn your back on the name of the giant Hunters League Major League called ‘China’, it seems that you thought that if you added weight to it with the word ‘Dalian’, they would back down.
“… … Yes. You can also claim that what you say is right. If you prove your power. Haiyan, will you accept the sparring?”
Haiyan nodded with a sly grin, as if he found it absurd. It was an expression of affirmation that needed no further explanation.
Lee Jeong-hoon held my hand tightly, perhaps because he thought the fight was caused by him, or because he felt uneasy next to me.
I whispered to Lee Jeong-hoon instead.
‘Don’t worry. I just needed the opportunity. It turned out well.’
On the side, Korean players including Lee Min-seok and Japanese team members were approaching to watch.
The stage is set.
***
“What? Chang-Hyeon is sparring with Hai-Yan?”
After Lee Min-seok heard the whole story from the PER players, he shouted in surprise. It’s not common to have a duel here where various international teams gather… …
Since it was a Chinese team, Lee Min-seok, who knew Haiyan’s qualities as a player, couldn’t help but be worried.
“That player… is he very strong?”
Lee Jeong-hoon, who seemed quite worried, asked Lee Min-seok whether he thought the fight was caused because of him.
“He’s strong. More importantly, if he’s qualified to represent the Chinese team… … You know what I mean, right?”
I could tell without Lee Min-seok saying anything else.
China has a ‘pretty good’ status internationally and has the power of a legendary hunter called ‘Wei’.
“The weapon he uses is an axe. He has overwhelmingly strong martial arts skills, and his body is so strong that even if he’s loaded with mana, a sword won’t penetrate it. You could say he’s a real destroyer.”
“Even if I charge up mana, the sword won’t stick? Then what should I do with my opponent?”
“… … Well, I have to find my own way. Either by attacking them with a stronger attack. Or by capturing them alive, even if I can’t wound them. Since my own strength is not weak, it would be nearly impossible.”
Lee Min-seok said as if he had a headache.
Fortunately, the random map that appeared as a 1v1 battle map was the ‘Gem Mine’ map, so it might be possible… … Will Lee Chang-hyun be able to notice that?
Still, Lee Min-seok made up his mind, believing in Lee Chang-hyun’s potential and his intelligence.
‘This is a map where you can win without directly hurting anyone. If Lee Chang-hyun shows how he can use the map’s characteristics to turn the battlefield upside down, like he did in the audition program or when he beat Takumi… … .’
Even if you don’t win, you can at least try hard or achieve a draw.
On the other hand, the Korean players looked quite surprised and worried. And unlike the PER players, the Japanese players looked quite interested and watched.
Rather, was it because I only heard about Lee Chang-hyun’s miraculous abilities and performances from Takumi?
Or maybe it was because in the end it was just watching the fire across the river.
One thing was certain. No matter what the feelings of the onlookers were, the battle to prove ‘strength’ had begun.
***
Since the stadium was originally indoors, the sparring began right away in the facility without delay.
The map is randomly selected. Among them, ‘Gem Mine’ appeared… … .
This is it. It was a map where the tactics I had used so far seemed to come back to life.
There aren’t many maps that have as much of an effect when destroyed as this one.
‘By the way… … ‘Haiyan’… … .’
I didn’t remember it right away when I first encountered it, but I remembered it after seeing its ability when I looked at it with [Piercing Eyes] earlier.
Even in the distant future, he was a player who was quite active in international leagues, including China.
The weapon is a close combat weapon based on overwhelming physical strength.
What was special was that the body itself was like a weapon, and had powerful defensive abilities and durability.
‘After [Man-gae]’s rank went up last time. The fight with Jin Su-hyeok was quite boring… … .’
This time, since the opponent is also the opponent, I thought I’d have some fun with it.
And from the beginning, this match was not one that started simply because of a dispute.
The beginning may have been initiated by Haiyan’s concubine.
However, the ones watching this sparring from outside were Korean players. Not only Wei from China, but also Japanese players were included.
That’s why this match is a kind of showcase.
The Korean team has such great players. The Korean team is no longer the weak team it used to be.
That can show something like that.
The current international status of the Korean Hunters League is overwhelmingly weak. Even holding a practice match is impossible without explaining the opponent’s advantage and giving them the advantage…
‘What if I win against Haiyan by a landslide?’
This news will spread to teams in other countries through the mouths of the Japanese team, who are not parties to this match.
Even in this jungle-like international exchange competition where the law of the jungle is prevalent, I think I will be able to establish quite a strong position.
The Chinese team. That was the extent of the weight that the Chinese team’s players had.
Of course, that is why the opponent was not an easy one.
Just looking at what’s appearing now, it seems like that.

Kukukukuku. Kwakwakwakwang!
A vibration as if the ground was shaking. And the rocks in all the caves were falling away.
What Haiyan appeared to be was not a road, but a ‘wall’ that was destroyed by Haiyan’s powerful force, creating a road.
Haiyan smiled and held out an axe to me.
“found.”
***
Although China is not the world’s number one Hunters League country, one thing is clear.
The fact that no country in the world can ignore China’s Hunters League. The fact that they will not go against what they say and will accept it.
‘That must mean it has power.’
There were certainly cases like this where they would not bend and would defy others. It was not like Way had never seen such an opponent before.
But, it was definitely the first time I had seen an enemy display such confidence. That was for sure.
‘It’s not an international league, and he’s not a world-class player whose name I know, so who would have thought he’d act like that… ‘
Is it arrogance that comes from not properly understanding one’s own level? Or is it confidence that comes from outstanding skills?
Way was curious about that.
Well, even if that weren’t the case, I always enjoyed watching fights.
As the map was designated as ‘Gem Mine’ and the match began, Haiyan started to detect the opponent from the start and started to destroy the wall.
A powerful force that doesn’t even allow you to turn around and go back. That was Haiyan’s characteristic.
Whether the cave collapsed or not, the rock was so hard that it was almost like crushing tofu as he advanced toward the Korean team’s guy.
That’s why it takes only a moment to arrive.
While the other person was still sitting still, thinking, Haiyan was standing right in front of the Korean guy.
‘So… … then how does it turn out?’
The guy’s first attempt, comically enough, was to shoot a ‘gun’.
‘Gun… … I’ve never seen it used except by Ethan.’
It wasn’t for nothing that no one used it. Of course, it would have been blocked if it had been another weapon. Look at that. Isn’t it impossible to even scratch Haiyan, let alone hurt him?
It seemed like it was using some special bullets and abilities to help with the abilities, but its limitations were clear.
If it was something like ‘Ethan’, with an absurd amount of mana, and something that shot a destructive beam instead of a gun, then that would be different.
But the guy continued to keep his distance, firing his pistol indiscriminately, which was nothing more than a slap in the face.
Did he think it meant something? Or was he just throwing a tantrum?
‘Smile…….’
To the point where I thought for a moment that he had lost his mind. Even as Wei, I couldn’t follow the train of thought of that Korean guy.
Haiyan’s indestructible body, which was as strong as a diamond, would only be able to be stabbed by a Mana Bomber. He was even smiling as he chewed up all the bullets like BBs. That was something I couldn’t understand.
It seems like there is something more hidden… …
‘Did you change the gun to a sniper rifle?’
To that extent, it was very disappointing.
Of course, the destructive power would be different from that of a pistol, but that wouldn’t be meaningful.
Besides, don’t you know it now that you look at it?
‘Hayan is watching.’
He’s taking it on purpose. He could have ended it by swinging that hatchet. Without making any special gestures.
To inflict the most humiliating defeat possible on the opponent.
It is true that the Korean guy’s shooting skills stood out among them.
Not only was his body movement very skillful, but at first glance, it seemed as if the sniper rifle had successfully targeted Haiyan’s precise joints and weak points, preventing him from pursuing her.
But… …it was over now.
‘It looks like it’s about to end.’
Haiyan took out a golden hatchet, risked being shot, sat down and stood up, and flew like a dragon.
Faster movement speed than moving by recoil via airbeat.
Even if he had reacted, it was a moment when he had no choice but to reduce the distance between the axe and the target.
‘It’s the end.’
Haiyan’s hatchet was so powerful that it could cut through not only mana shields but also mana protectors like a piece of tofu.
Wayro couldn’t think of any way to stop it.
The opponent was not properly prepared to deal with it, so the result was obvious.
‘As expected… … Was I just a loser who couldn’t even properly gauge the difference between myself and my opponent?’
No, it must be the hunters of a country called China that are amazing.
The moment when Way was so sure of victory that he was about to applaud.
The moment on the screen when Haiyan and the Korean guy reach super close range.
With a huge roar, something unbelievable happened.
