026. Fierce Battle

‘What on earth are you thinking?’

At this point, even Kim Do-jun couldn’t help but have doubts about Lee Chang-hyun.

Even though I was able to make 2 kills easily, entering the capture point was no different than treating the rest of the team as enemies.

But I didn’t have time to think about that for long.

Suddenly, a shining capture point appeared right in front of Lee Chang-hyun and Kim Do-jun.

Lee Chang-hyun, who was walking quietly and slowly, gestured to Kim Do-jun, who was following him.

It was an order to stop.

Then he poked his head out, glanced around the corner, and nodded.

It seemed like no one was there.

I turned the corner, opened the door, and went inside. It looked like an ordinary office.

Except for the light emanating from the center.

And as we go inside, sure enough.

[The pair of Lee Chang-hyun and Kim Do-jun took the occupied point.]

[When someone enters or leaves the occupied point, the occupied point completion time is reset.]

[1:00 until occupation completion]

59… … 58… …

A large pop-up appeared in the virtual reality and a countdown began for everyone to see.

‘It’s just beginning… … .’

***

[The pair of Lee Chang-hyun and Kim Do-jun took the occupied point.]

As Lee Chang-hyun took the point, this phrase echoed throughout the map.

‘What on earth are you thinking? Just by hiding and sniping, that guy who sells hats takes over the control point… … .’

From Yoo Hye-joo’s perspective, it was a choice that could only be questionable.

Because I thought it was an option that could never be chosen when viewed from a military perspective.

And that was something that Yoon Han-gyeol agreed with as well.

“Surely there’s a hidden piece in this map too… … .”

“No… … That can’t be.”

Yoo Hye-joo said with certainty. Unlike previous survival games, this map was not a dungeon that recreated the ‘Tower Dungeon’ or something like that. After all, this stage was just a simple city.

But there was definitely something there.

‘It’s not just luck that I obtained the Hidden Piece… … It must have some kind of helpful ability. And I’m using it by mixing it with strategy.’

The guy was in the first document review, in the survival game where he got the hidden piece, and in the mini Hunters League game.

At first glance, it may seem arrogant and simple, but in reality, highly intelligent play was the key.

This is probably why he continues to achieve outstanding results even though his status and skills don’t seem that powerful.

The question is what kind of play have you prepared this time?

“Yoon Han-gyeol. How was it like when you fought? Entering the occupied point is like begging to be captured.”

“In the survival game, if there had been no hidden piece, I would have definitely been able to crush him. That kind of feeling? Of course, his momentary concentration and mobility seem to be outstanding, but… … ”

Mobility? Come to think of it, one of the things I missed in the last Mini Hunters League was mobility. If I hadn’t been so good at handling air anchors and air beats, I wouldn’t have fallen for those lure tactics.

However, entering the capture point meant giving up mobility. Even if you use the air anchor or air beat inside the building, it was difficult to see any dramatic mobility effects.

‘You’re giving up one of your greatest strengths, mobility? That doesn’t make sense… … Or maybe you have no intention of occupying it at all… … Maybe you can just focus your attention on it and then leave the occupied area midway.’

This certainly made sense.

After that, if the participants in the elimination mission fight each other, you can take advantage of that.

And in reality, upon hearing that echoing countdown, numerous elimination mission participants were rushing towards it.

‘This is it.’

Yoo Hye-joo was confident.

“Yoon Han-gyeol. Listen carefully. I know Lee Chang-hyun’s purpose.”

“… … .”

“The guy is not very strong in terms of force. Even his mobility is his strength, but the only battlefield where he can’t use it is the indoor capture point of a building. There’s no way he can just hold on to the capture point.

In other words, when the supporters who gathered to prevent the occupation start fighting among themselves, there is no other way than to aim for profit.”

“… … .”

Yoon Han-gyeol’s eyes sparkled.

It was certainly a well-founded statement.

I don’t know what the trap was, but it seemed certain that it was going to be a trap for the fishermen.

After reading my opponent’s strategy like that, I felt like my head was clearer.

“Then what about us?”

“I’m not going to aim for occupation anyway. I’ll just cause trouble on the fishing grounds he’s set up.”

Yoo Hye-ju smiled faintly.

Making a mess of the battlefield with a mace. That was Yoo Hye-ju’s greatest strength.

‘If that happens, it will be our victory.’

Perhaps it wouldn’t be difficult to sweep everything away and take the spotlight.

That was when I thought about it.

[… … 9]

[38]

The countdown starts at about 22 seconds.

As the count continued, new information reached the battlefield.

[ Team A Kim Young-jun: Death due to combat]

[Team C Lee Hyung-tae: Death due to battle]

[C Team Bae Han-soo: Death due to combat]

‘… … .’

Has the guy’s fishing operation already begun?

Suddenly the death toll began to rise.

Of course, the count continued to pass regardless.

[… … 3]

[32]

There’s a constant fight going on inside, but you’re calmly reducing the count at the capture point?

‘What? All the guys inside are already dead?’

If you were aiming for the bait, you wouldn’t have engaged in direct combat, and you would have to wait until as many of them as possible arrived… … .

There was definitely something wrong with this.

If things had gone as planned, the guy who was slowly trying to take over would have run away from the guys who were trying to stop him from taking over, and instead of taking over the inside, the battles would have continued and resulted in a stalemate.

“Yoo Hye-joo. This is… … .”

Yoon Han-gyeol also seemed to realize that something was wrong.

[……One]

[20]

There wasn’t much time left.

It was a situation where the game would end after about 20 seconds without being able to do anything.

I don’t know what went wrong.

But it was clear that there was no more time to stock up.

As news of kills continued to pile up, the capture time was also getting shorter.

‘What on earth are you doing, Lee Chang-hyun… … .’

***

Inside the building.

Lee Chang-hyun had no intention of running away.

From the beginning, Lee Chang-hyun’s plan was to deal with everything here until he died.

‘I don’t know if that will work, but… … .’

Kim Do-jun sighed.

[… … 7]

[46]

Lee Chang-hyun and Kim Do-jun were each hiding under a desk in an ordinary office, in their respective occupation points.

The plan was simple.

If anyone enters this room, Lee Chang-hyun will snipe them. And if they avoid being snipes, Kim Do-jun will rush in and Lee Chang-hyun will provide supporting fire.

‘Is this all right?’

Kim Do-jun thought about it, but soon realized that there was no other way and followed the advice.

And then the first sound came from the door.

The sound of the doorknob turning carefully spread.

Because it was so quiet, it wasn’t difficult to hear the sound.

I carefully turned the doorknob, but then the door opened wide in an instant.

But there was no one at the open door.

Open the door to prepare for a surprise attack, but do not rush in all at once.

… … And as expected, the moment a face appeared looking through the door.

Taang!

As expected, Lee Chang-hyun’s gun pierced his head.

[ Team A Kim Young-jun: Death due to combat]

Then, the remaining opponents over there were taken aback and stopped sticking their heads out the door or doing anything like that. So, the sniping advantage was only once.

The reason I opened the door in the first place was because I wasn’t expecting sniping.

‘Is this the last time my opponent doesn’t know about my weapon?’

Now, it was right to assume and act as if not only the people watching the broadcast but also most of the applicants for the elimination mission knew.

And of course, the remaining guys who were hiding behind the wall didn’t come in through the door, which was an easy sniping point.

Instead, a door was created.

Ding! Ding –

Soon, a blast from the wall on one side of the control point office split it. Using the split wall as a shield, I slowly advanced forward.

Lee Chang-hyun, who had already seen the opponent’s position with his piercing eyes, shot the moment the wall split, but it was in vain.

In order to conserve mana as much as possible for the final strategy, Lee Chang-hyun’s gun, which was only giving the minimum amount of mana to the ether bullet, could not penetrate the wall.

‘But it doesn’t matter. That’s why Kim Do-jun exists.’

Kim Do-jun, who was hiding behind the wall as cover, made a surprise attack on his opponent.

That’s a real quick sword.

However, since it was not a sword optimized for assassination, it naturally could not inflict much damage on the opponent at once.

‘It won’t be a problem. You just have to be able to hold it.’

It was the same even if there were two opponents.

The moment Kim Do-jun rushed in, one of them turned around and skillfully aimed for his blind spot.

But while Kim Do-jun was rushing in, Lee Chang-hyun couldn’t stay still either.

‘The angle has come out.’

As Lee Chang-hyun moved his position, his opponent was already within an appropriate shooting range.

Bang – ta tang!

[Team C Lee Hyung-tae: Death due to battle]

[C Team Bae Han-soo: Death due to combat]

There was no time to use their abilities. They weren’t all that powerful anyway.

‘How much time is left?’

[… … 3]

[32]

There’s about half the time left. If I can get through this time, I’ll have completely won the elimination mission.

But what Lee Chang-hyun wanted wasn’t simply ‘winning the elimination mission’.

I wanted an overwhelming victory.

‘The goal is an all-kill.’

Or even if it wasn’t an all-kill, the most kills. And at the same time, capturing the capture point. That was Lee Chang-hyun’s goal, and he had a plan tailored to that.

‘Come on.’

Again, other guys were seen behind the wall. But it wasn’t Yoon Han-gyeol or Yoo Hye-ju, who were the most on guard.

If it weren’t for those two super rookies with overwhelming talent, Lee Chang-hyun would have been considered nothing more than a loser.

That’s actually why I was saving my mana.

As we continued to engage in moderate combat like that, the remaining time became shorter and shorter.

[……One]

[20]

Now, if they really didn’t come, they could just hold out for a while and get close to capturing the high ground.

There was no way he wouldn’t come.

And soon after, Yoon Han-gyeol and Yoo Hye-ju appeared.

But interestingly enough, it wasn’t just those two.

Not only Jin Han, but also other group of guys.

Now that there is not much time left until the real occupation, they will probably be trying to block any attempts at occupation in earnest.

They were no longer enemies to each other, and their only enemies were Lee Chang-hyeon and Kim Do-jun, who were on the verge of conquest.

And the power they created by working together like that was enormous.

‘This time, things won’t go your way.’

Because this was no longer a battlefield where strategy worked.

But at the same time, Yoo Hye-joo was shocked.

The office was covered in blood, as if to prove that numerous applicants who had already come to the battlefield had been eliminated.

‘He must not have been that strong. How did he…? It’s definitely astonishing. I don’t know what strategy he used, but he managed to hold onto the occupied territory for so long against those who tried to block his occupation…? But that’s not what’s important right now.’

In any case, the friendly situation towards the guys is over now. The key is that with not much time left to occupy, the remaining major figures seem to have joined forces and can attack the guys together.

That’s when I thought so.

Rather, Lee Chang-hyun, who was cornered, was smiling with the corners of his mouth raised.

As if everything was going according to plan.

But Yoo Hye-joo couldn’t help but laugh.

‘There is no place for you to survive.’

“Yoon Han-gyeol!”

And then, Yoon Han-gyeol and Yoo Hye-ju headed towards Lee Chang-hyeon.

At that time, surprisingly, Lee Chang-hyun’s gun was not pointed at Yoon Han-gyeol or Yoo Hye-ju, nor anyone else.

The gun was pointing at just a pillar in a corner.

And before Yoon Han-gyeol and Yoo Hye-ju reach Lee Chang-hyeon.

Lee Chang-hyun gathered the mana he had stored in the pillars of the occupied point office and fired powerful shots.

The ether bullets, which were fired powerfully by consuming mana at once, were reminiscent of missiles.

Kwakwakwakwang!!!

“… … .”

The building that was designated as the capture point was collapsing.
