Episode 283: The fight under the water
The air you breathe on the map right after the game starts is special.
‘It feels like I’ve been resting for quite some time.’
Normally, during the season, we would play at least twice a week. But after the international exchange games, after the regular season, after the last game of the postseason, there was quite a gap before the finals.
Of course, it was just a matter of speaking, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t practice.
The twin pistols held in my hands, made of a slightly different material than usual, were freely performed in acrobatics according to my dexterity.
Clang -.
Even though the raw materials have changed, I couldn’t feel any difference in the grip in my hand. It felt like I was wearing clothes that fit me perfectly.
‘Is it finally time to show it?’
The postseason was played over a fairly long period of time, with the intention of giving teams time to practice their tactics and study countermeasures after each game.
During that time, I too had changed quite a bit.
First of all, the biggest change is the relics and weapons obtained by accepting Matias’ conditions. And even Matias failed to process them.
‘Specially refined mana stone ingot… … .’
I was using it as a condition for my participation in Matias’ research and providing data.
At first, it felt a bit unfamiliar, but could it be that it was not able to escape the ability of [Magical Engineering Weapon Conversion]? I didn’t feel that the weapon made with this was very different.
Of course, the refined destructive power was incomparable to that of before.
That’s not all. What made this match special wasn’t just the new gear.
Most of the time, I vaguely remember what map each match took place on, what tactics were used in the match, and what kind of match we played.
but.
‘Before returning, there’s no way I’d forget the map from the first finals we played, right?’
Because now, I could be confident that I was more fully prepared than ever before for the match.

[Caster: This map is ‘Mirror World’!]
As soon as Jin Su-hyeok pulled the ball out, the players started moving and a crazy cheer rang out.
At the same time, the camera began to busily capture the features and terrain of the map.
The appearance was as simple as its name. It didn’t look much different from a mirror maze you might find at an amusement park.
The only difference, if any, would be that it was incredibly large.
Of course, that’s only in appearance. In reality, it was a very special map.
[Caster: ‘Mirror World’… … This is a map that has appeared several times in Korea. Which side do you think will have the advantage now that the map has been released?]
[Commentator: Hmm… … Overall, the teamwork is much tighter than what LTD has shown so far. And even if you take away the crazy combination of Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Ji-hoon, LTD seems to have the advantage… …
[Caster: But in the last match between LTD and PER, PER won. Is there any difference from that time?]
[Commentator: In the case of that 3D maze map, honestly, there were many coincidental factors. For example, the players were all scattered and defeated individually, or Lee Ji-hoon, Kang Jun-hyeok’s best launcher, was away… … Kang Jun-hyeok only started moving late in the game. However, there was nothing like that in this map.]
The commentator’s pessimistic predictions about PER continued to flow out.
In fact, it was a natural part. LTD continued to develop during the post-season. And after the international exchange match, they showed a greatly changed appearance, and they showed that they had the ability to play well even in the international league.
[Commentator: Kang Jun-hyeok’s strong multiplayer ability, buffed by Lee Ji-hoon. And LTD’s excellent team weight class. And if they can’t overcome the teamwork, I think they’ll fall apart without a fight. In the case of this ‘Mirror World’. It’s even more so because it’s not a map where it’s difficult to join up like before.]
Of course, Lee Geun-taek just laughed at the commentator’s words.
‘Kk kkul… … This is why people only look at and analyze external things.’
Because that wasn’t the nature of the game.
[Should I sort out the LTD and PER rankings? LOL]
No, no. The relative PER is already winning.
ㄴ They said you’re going to lose today, but can’t you hear what the commentator is saying? ㅋㅋ
ㄴ Anyone can make predictions at that levelㅋ
N Lee Chang-hyun fans are going crazy.
No matter what anyone says, isn’t it true that PER is a winning strategy? I’m betting on PER.
Looking at the objective data, Lee Geun-taek laughed even harder because he thought that the commentator, who was also an expert, was not watching the game well.
But I didn’t think that was a bad thing.
‘Winning in a situation where defeat is expected.’
That’s right. Isn’t that the style he likes?
Since the audition program.

‘Mirror World’. Even in the Hunter’s League, where there are all sorts of unique maps, this map is often counted among the most unique.
The reason was not much different, it was because this map itself was a ‘relic’.
‘Since this map itself is a ‘relic’, the mirrors scattered here and there are also special.’
There are things that reflect me like a normal mirror, and there are also glass windows that show the other side. Even so, there are also ‘windows’ that act like ‘dimensional doors’ that allow for dimensional movement. Or there are also ‘windows’ that have the property of reflecting everything.
Since the first final match before the return was also held on this map, I was overcome with a strange feeling as I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment.
The voices of surprised team members could be heard through the earphones.
“Wow… …! What’s this here? Is it a maze-style battlefield like the one we fought in last time?”
“Yeonju, can you join us? What are everyone’s locations?”
“That’s… … The locations all seem to be incredibly far apart… … .”
It seemed like he wasn’t adapting well to the unfamiliar environment.
‘Well, that makes sense… … .’
It was also a unique map, different from any other map that had been released so far.
However, since this map has already appeared in the Korean Hunters League, LTD will already be familiar with the characteristics of this map.
We also had to move quickly.
So, I stopped looking in the mirror for a moment and spoke into my earphones.
“Don’t panic. Just look at yourself in the mirror.”
“A mirror… …?”

At first glance, the mirrors in the ‘Mirror World’ all look the same, so it seems like you have to rely on luck to get there. But in reality, that’s not the case.
Since each mirror had slightly different details depending on the characteristics it produced, it was possible to tell them apart by looking at them.
‘Did the person who actually discovered this place on the tower say that he discovered this trait and escaped?’
Well, that was fine anyway.
First of all, the important thing was to unite. Since the opponents would also know the characteristics of this map to some extent, we had to unite against the enemy.
“Touch the bottom of the mirror. And let the mana flow.”
“You don’t feel anything?”
“Should I say I feel a little repulsed?”
“Something went in.”
A variety of experiences were conveyed through the earphones.
This is also something that happens because there are so many different types and characteristics of mirrors.
In addition to real mirrors and mirrors that reflect attacks, there are also mirrors that you can enter, such as mirrors that lead to a ‘reverse world’ or mirrors that send you to a ‘random location’.
Since there were various mirrors, it was normal for the reactions to be different when mana was injected into them.
“The performer found it right. Everyone, look for a mirror that gives a sinking feeling when you inject mana into it.”
And since each of those mirrors was connected to several large holes that existed in this ‘mirror world’, it was inevitable that they would be able to easily join using the mirrors.
“Oh! I found it too. Can I just go in?”
And soon after, everyone moved the mirror mana from one mirror to another and succeeded in finding the mirror they wanted.
“okay.”
And the moment I made up my mind, all my team members entered the mirror at once.
And did you succeed in joining?
I could hear everyone talking together through the earphones.
“Uh… … But Changhyun. Aren’t you coming?”
“I’ll follow you right away.”
After saying that, I turned off my earphones for a moment.
The main battlefield in the map ‘Mirror World’ is the ‘Mirror World Hall’ where the team members have just joined.
And one more place left.
The ‘reverse world’ I’m going to now. There were two places like this.

Meanwhile, the commentators watching the game from outside were having a heated conversation.
[Commentator: Ah… … It ends up like this? If only one side had a good understanding of the map, it could have been a map where one side would have a sudden advantage. Neither LTD nor PER are inferior to each other in basic skills! Both sides gather alone!]
In fact, in the case of this ‘Mirror World’ map, the game strategies and tactics were quite standardized, so there were many parts that could be predicted.
Because the world is so fragmented, and most teams hate having their games taken over by variables.
Usually, they would gather in the ‘Central Hall’ of the Mirror World to fight, and the result would determine the winner of the match.
And that’s actually what was going on.
[Caster: PER was the first to form a team, but the LTD players also entered the hole at once and began a fierce battle!]
[Why is the map so simple? It’s just a map where you just lose a team fight and it’s over]
N really lol
ㄴ But is it a reflective mirror? Wouldn’t it be awesome if I took that off?
ㄴ It looks hard to tear it off, but it seems like it would be okay to hide it behind it.
N But all mirrors look the same, so is it possible to tell them apart?
N… … But why don’t both teams have 7 people?
But one thing.
There was one thing that some sharp viewers noticed, but most did not.
[Caster: Uh… … But neither team has all of their members gathered here? Is something wrong?]
But the words of such a caster were overshadowed by the progress of the battle between PER and LTD…
As the ‘invisible variable’ caused an anomaly, the commentator had no choice but to point out that part again.
While the main forces of LTD and PER were fiercely fighting, PER’s Lee Yeon-ju suddenly collapsed without being hit by anything.
[Narrator: Ahh… … Aah! LTD! It seems that the special forces have been sent into the ‘reverse world’ and are attacking PER’s main force from both sides!]
The ‘Reverse World’ is another world within the mirror that exists in a different dimension, but can affect this ‘Mirror World’ map.
In short, it meant that several special forces dispatched by LTD were unilaterally attacking PER in places where PER’s main force was out of reach.
But at that moment, the commentator’s words ended funny. The LTD team member also suddenly collapsed as if he had lost consciousness.
[What the heck is this? Hahaha are we doing an elixir to each other?]
n Run to the reverse world and stab the dog in the head lol
ㄴ It wasn’t just the opponent who stabbed the head, lol
N So, on that side, Lee Chang-hyun is going in, and on this side, Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Ji-hoon are going in?
No, if it was going to be like this from the beginning, wouldn’t it be better to just go in?
The viewers watching the game couldn’t help but express their bewilderment at the players of the main force suddenly falling down in battle.
Was that feeling something that the observer naturally knew about?
The stage that was being reflected instantly changed its focus to a ‘reverse world’.
And in the reflected ‘reverse world’, just like the last LTD vs. PER match, Lee Chang-hyun and Kang Jun-hyeok were facing each other.
… … Unlike before, behind Kang Jun-hyeok and others, there was Lee Ji-hoon, who was known to have the best compatibility with Kang Jun-hyeok.
