Episode 254 The Perfect Moment
The moment I realized that Lee Chang-hyun had accepted this match as a possible trap.
And finally, the moment I realized that in the actual game, there were countless Vietnamese players rushing in and plotting a trick to surround Lee Chang-hyun.
Lee Geun-taek thought he had to stop this game.
But… … it must have been so.
Taang! Bang bang!
‘That’s… … ?’
Lee Geun-taek did not know exactly what information Vietnam wanted to get from Lee Chang-hyeon or how they would do it.
but.
With one close-range shot, they fell one by one.
And from the expression on the face of the Vietnamese team manager sitting next to them and watching, I could tell that things weren’t going as well as they wanted.
‘The situation is flowing interestingly… … .’
Even though they could not stand it anymore, the Vietnamese team came forward as a group without hiding it.
Wasn’t the Korean team also slow to catch on?
Players including Lee Min-seok and Kang Jun-hyeok came out as reinforcements, and soon they were firmly supporting Lee Chang-hyeon from behind.
At that moment, Lee Geun-taek stopped trying to stop the game.
Secondly, I had a gut feeling that things wouldn’t go the way the Vietnamese team wanted. Lee Min-seok, Kang Jun-hyeok, and Lee Chang-hyun.
It was because I was so curious about what this trio, which I had never seen before, would show me.
Of course, the Vietnamese team that has appeared now is a pretty strong team that has regular members and can even compare to China and Japan to some extent.
… … But somehow, Lee Geun-taek didn’t really think that the three Korean aces would lose.
***
It seemed like they expected that they would notice before the game was over… … but was that moment sooner than they thought?
The Vietnamese players grimaced when they saw Lee Min-seok and Kang Jun-hyeok bringing reinforcements.
“That feels good. But even if you guys come, things won’t change much.”
The Vietnamese players nodded at each other.
Was it some kind of sign?
The border between the forest and the small town.
In that village, which was already in shambles due to the battle between Lee Chang-hyun and several Vietnamese players, the sunset had finally completely passed the horizon.
As if by prior arrangement, the battle began.
Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Min-seok seemed to have guessed that their opponents were targeting them, so they went to my side. The rest of the players went into battle in sync with the individual fighting rhythm of the Vietnamese players.
“What’s the status?”
“I’m still in full condition.”
“Vietnamese players… … It won’t be easy. Want to request a stoppage of the game? I’m not sure if that will be accepted since only the Vietnamese team manager is outside.”
“no.”
Although Lee Min-seok’s suggestion seemed worrying, Lee Chang-hyun smiled instead.
Yes, rather, this was an opportunity.
It started out as a hunter survival rule, but eventually it turned into a fight.
Doesn’t it end up being similar to Hunter’s League?
In this case, it wasn’t much different from the practice matches that had to be experienced before playing international matches anyway.
So, in this case, the three people’s breathing will be the main tactic and key in this international exchange.
Lee Min-seok, Kang Jun-hyeok, and Lee Chang-hyun. This would be a good opportunity to see the three of them working together.
***
There was a reason why Lee Chang-hyun was dissuaded even before the game started.
Even when arranging a 7v7 Hunters League practice match, I was careful to consider the possibility of strategy leaks… … and a Hunter Survival match?
Because I couldn’t help but think there was some kind of hidden agenda.
That’s why Lee Min-seok tried to dissuade Lee Chang-hyun, who lacked international experience, but eventually gave in to his strong will.
but……
‘Was it a wrong choice?’
Just as giving someone you don’t know well the freedom to make a choice isn’t the right choice.
Should we have tried to correct the path or provide more information?
After hearing Kang Jun-hyeok’s words. I expected something like this to happen, but… …
It was honestly breathtaking to see so many Vietnamese players competing against Lee Chang-hyun.
‘Team Vietnam… … .’
Unlike the Korean team, their international performance was not bad, and each player’s ability was excellent, so to be honest, even if we brought in reinforcements like this.
It was because I honestly had no confidence in winning.
‘If only Angela and Scott, who were originally on the team, were there.’
Because right now, it was practically like a new team just getting together for the first time.
But what can you do? Once a fight breaks out.
Even if Lee Chang-hyun could be defeated because of his own choices, it should be after he had done his best.
With that thought in mind, Lee Min-seok began to place his order.
“Me, Junhyeok, and Changhyun. The three of us will fight as a team for now.”
The Vietnamese team didn’t think they needed to attack with more people, so they just played with the rest of the Korean players, except for their three core players.
“The names are long and unfamiliar, so they might be hard to remember, so I’ll call them A, B, and C, starting from the left.”
From then on, the briefing began at breakneck speed.
Since they were players who already had considerable experience in international matches, their abilities were well known.
Player A. A player who supports the Vietnamese team’s attacks with tricks using mana bombers and summoning suicide bombers, as well as disrupting the opponent’s airbeats.
Player B. A player who specializes in killing opponents with one blow by using mana generation to instantly lengthen or enlarge weapons.
Player C. After spreading mana, you can receive a speed bonus that allows you to move at super speed within a certain area… … … …

But the briefing had to end before it could even finish.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
In an instant, the sword he swung grew enormously in size and length, sweeping away the entire village.
Its power was easily felt in the sight of the village buildings falling apart, almost comically.
Fortunately, both Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Chang-hyun were able to avoid it, perhaps because they were in a tense state…
I honestly had a feeling that I didn’t know how long I could last without properly analyzing my opponent’s abilities.
As is always the case in battlefield situations, it would be common sense to finish the briefing well before the battle even begins.
‘Damn it… … Not only should I tell you my abilities, but I should also tell you my abilities so that we can match up to some extent. I don’t have time to explain… … ‘
“What are you muttering about? Where’s the force you had when you called me rude earlier? Are you just nervous now that the battle has started?”
I didn’t do it because I didn’t want to be called cowardly.
Instead, it was a battle situation where we had to improvise. We just started giving orders more quickly according to the situation.
“The attack where the weapon grows bigger momentarily just now, if you watch the guy’s actions in advance and see the trajectory of the weapon swing while it’s still small, you can read the attack in advance and dodge it. And the other guys you have to watch out for are… … .”
So, during the briefing, we were being told that we should be careful because we could be hit with a fatal blow during the opponent’s attack.
Surprisingly, Lee Chang-hyun intervened.
“I have a rough idea of their abilities. More importantly, I think they’re after me.”
“No, it’s not just ability, but if you don’t know how to deal with it correctly, then in international level matches -… … … … ”
It was as if he didn’t even listen to what I said, and he just said what he wanted to say silently. I thought he was really doing his own way.
“Can you please accommodate me a little? Since you’re my senior.”
“ha.”
Kang Jun-hyeok also let out a sigh, as if he was at a loss… … but what could he do?
‘The enemy is after Chang-Hyeon, so if his game design ability is good, then it would be the best strategy to match him… … ‘
Even if you know your opponent’s abilities, it’s only superficial. And is that possible without fully understanding your teammate’s abilities?
I couldn’t help but have some doubts.
Well, I accepted it even though I knew it was going to be Hunter Survival this time.
The intention was to give Lee Chang-hyun the job this time to gain experience, so I ended up giving in.
“Okay. Go wild and do whatever you want. I’ll adjust to it.”
But honestly, I don’t know if it will work if I do it this way.
***
As soon as Lee Min-seok gave his permission, Lee Chang-hyun surprisingly ran towards the three Vietnamese players first.
“Lee Chang-hyun… … .”
I screamed in panic, but in a situation where every second counts, there was no way that would be meaningful.
The Vietnamese team’s attack, which had been open-mouthed, was sharply aimed at Lee Chang-hyun.
The suicide bombers carrying mana bombers flew towards Lee Chang-hyun, as if they had been hit by an airbeat.
It was obvious that the other two Vietnamese players were also aiming their attacks while anticipating where Lee Chang-hyun would dodge or intercept.
The only thing that comes to Lee Min-seok’s mind right now is that Lee Chang-hyun made a reckless decision.
So, the moment I was about to join the front line and join forces with Lee Chang-hyun.
Lee Chang-hyun’s order came through the earphones.
“Don’t join right away, listen to me.”
“?!”
Lee Chang-hyun continued speaking while shooting down the suicide bombers equipped with mana bombers one by one with his pistol.
“Senior Minseok, please tie up the opponent’s feet so that he doesn’t get caught with the Chiljido, and then join me to draw my attention. And Senior Kang Junhyeok… … .”
Lee Min-seok immediately followed Lee Chang-hyun’s words, but the next order did not go smoothly.
Because the Vietnamese player who jumped into the path that Lee Chang-hyun had anticipated would be avoided used [Mana Unleashed], and then moved at lightning speed within that area, targeting the vital points in a coordinated attack.
In that situation, the only way would be to escape that area with Airbit.
Even that didn’t seem smooth.
Just as Lee Chang-hyun was about to create an airbeat and step on it to escape the area.
Could it be that the direction of the airbeat has been distorted?
Clearly, Lee Chang-hyun had created the airbeat with the intention of stirring it up and taking it out, but the direction was changed to the enemy’s camp. And it was a good location for a Vietnamese player to snipe at.
There, the problem was that Lee Chang-hyun, who had to escape the area while crying, had no choice but to step on it.
Luckily, I was able to step on it and get some time.
“Senior Kang Jun-hyeok, perfectly deploys mana at the exact moment the opponent’s attack ends… .”
Swoosh!
Before those words could even finish, a sword of unfathomable length cut through the sky, following the path that Lee Chang-hyun had been guided to.
Chijichichichichi -.
It was an angle that was physically unavoidable.
Harmony created by the perfect teamwork of three Vietnamese players.
A final blow created by predicting the path of evasion as attacks follow one another.
……but.
At the same time, Lee Min-seok could tell.
The huge sword that was difficult for the opponent to swing was swung once, and all the suicide bombers that were created were shot down. The opponent who had already attempted [Mana Expansion] once, solidified his position, and exhausted his strength.
That it was the most appropriate and perfect counterattack timing.
I couldn’t figure out what happened to Lee Chang-hyun. I couldn’t figure out whether the other person ended up taking what he wanted.
However, Lee Chang-hyun could not even fully understand the abilities of his opponents and allies.
If you look at it as just a scene from a Hunters League match, leaving aside each other’s goals and intentions, it was truly a perfect scene to the point where you wonder how it could have been drawn so perfectly.
Even if Lee Chang-hyun doesn’t necessarily give orders by voice.
So much so that you could feel that every order and action was intentional to create this one scene.
“Kang Jun-hyuk!”
It was the moment when [The Realm of the Sword], which had never properly demonstrated its power in international competitions until now, would be most perfectly displayed.
