Episode 415 Survival
A battlefield with a somewhat steep slope but densely packed with trees and rocks, making it a safe enough ambush location.
That was the battlefield where Aurora was currently lying in wait, and where the vanguard of PER was passing through.
[Caster: Ah… … Ahh. PER side… … Are you by any chance completely unaware of your opponent’s ambush? If you continue like this, it’s no different than walking straight into a tiger’s mouth! Player Lee Chang-hyun! You need to come to your senses!]
Of course, the team members, including Lee Geun-taek, who were watching, did not have bright expressions.
I don’t know why Lee Chang-hyun changed the members of the vanguard team.
But common sense tells you that you’re going into Aurora’s camp, which is already set up and ready to attack, hiding like that.
It was obvious that no matter what tactics were prepared, it would never be advantageous.
“Ugh… … That’s why I told you to take Jaejun with you even if I were to prepare special tactics… … .”
Lee Geun-taek, who was sitting next to me, sighed.
It was a natural story. In such a situation, in order to turn the game to one’s advantage, Ryu Jae-jun had to be there, capable of attacking only the enemy with a ‘wave’ in all directions.
No, maybe the opponent wouldn’t have used such tactics just because Ryu Jae-jun participated.
The reason why PER has been able to suppress such ambushes until now is because Ryu Jae-jun was involved.
However, Lee Min-seok seemed unable to readily agree to this and presented a counterargument.
“Hmm… … But, Chairman. Rather, isn’t that what Chang-Hyeon is after?”
“What are you aiming for? You let your guard down. This is something I wouldn’t have experienced normally since Jaejun is here.”
“No, but still. Chang-Hyeon… … has a keen eye for detail. You know that, Chairman. But even though they say he’s hiding there, it’s suspicious that he goes without any hesitation.”
Listening to Lee Min-seok’s story, there were definitely some parts that were unclear.
Of course, there was still nothing that could not be explained.
Even though Lee Chang-hyun has a good eye for detail, if a person always cares about everything that isn’t important, they will get tired quickly. They will only care about important moments.
It wouldn’t be strange at all to be blinded by the goal of catching up with Ana, who has some kind of purpose.
‘Hmm… … .’
But if we assume that this is intentional, the story becomes even stranger.
Why would they offer such a great opportunity to Aurora, who is far superior in numbers? And even show their appearance without any filter?
Even if you are confident in your ability to engage in combat, there are limits.
The opponent is never inferior in PER. They are the best team in the world in simple close combat.
‘Unless you’ve prepared something special… … .’
It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense.
Did the relay team also happen to think about the same thing?
Maybe they thought that if the focus was on Ana, the ambush of the other six people would lose its weight.
The commentator was talking about the strength of the enemy who was lying in ambush.
[Commentator: There is talk that player Lee Chang-hyun… … may have gone in with the intention of starting an all-out war. It really won’t be easy. In particular, we shouldn’t underestimate Aurora’s power.]
[Caster: But Aurora’s ace, Ana, isn’t that okay?]
[Commentator: Becoming the world’s strongest team through combat is by no means an easy task. You have to consider that not only Ana, but each and every one of them has combat ability that matches that… … .
Hernandez uses a mana bomber cluster like a shotgun at close range to blow away enemies. Griezmann uses a relic whip that can be freely extended regardless of location to cook up opponents. Olivier uses a large crossbow and a small crossbow to move around using mana equipment, etc… …
[This is a team composition where each member has a different fighting ability and can take on the role of the ace of the fight in a different team.]
That was right.
A team with members who can take on the role of ace in battles, even if ‘any of the team members goes to another international league team.’
In such a place, you start with an engagement. And you start with an ambush by the enemy?
Because that really didn’t make any sense.
The conclusion was perhaps inevitable.
‘As humans, we can’t help but make mistakes… … .’
It was possible for our guard to be loosened, our minds to be distracted by other things, and our senses to become dull.
Lee Chang-hyun would never have expected an ambush.
… … PER will probably start off with significant damage from this engagement, even if they don’t know it yet.
The key is how much the damage can be reduced.
Finally. The moment I thought about it that far.
The start of the fight was announced by the sight of Gilhan Lee, who was running in the lead, being cut in half with a scythe by Adrian who appeared in the blink of an eye.
‘Tsk.’
***
After the match with Aurora was decided. PER’s conference room.
“Huh? I’m a starting member for the next game?”
Kim Yu-hyeon asked back, as if he hadn’t thought about it.
But that was only for a moment. He knew the special nature of Kim Yu-Hyeon’s abilities. He quickly accepted it.
When I think about the England match, there were definitely parts that would have been better if Kim Yu-Hyeon had been included.
“Um… … Then should I join Lee Yeon-ju, Kim Do-jun, and Lee Seo-hyun in the rear and defend?”
That was definitely the weak point.
In the British battle, the enemy did not openly target the rear, but the strategy was already exposed. What if the enemy side attacked the rear while leaving the vanguard behind?
Kim Do-jun’s mana equipment will become unusable, and the team’s strategy will be greatly weakened.
But… … Lee Chang-hyun said something completely unexpected.
“No, you’ll be on the vanguard.”
It was a bombshell statement. At that time, not only Kim Yu-hyeon but the entire team was dumbfounded.
In fact, there was talk in it about whether Lee Chang-hyun had dementia or whether he was poisoned by heavy metals from touching the mana equipment too much.
Of course it was a joke… …but it was something that was difficult to understand.
Kim Yu-Hyeon’s ability is excellent at defending strongholds.
But it didn’t make sense to push it into the vanguard.
But the moment Lee Chang-hyun led his team members into the practice room to show them the plan he had in mind.
All PER team members had no choice but to admit it. And they had no choice but to understand.

Why Lee Chang-hyun put Kim Yu-hyeon in the vanguard.
‘And I’m sure the people watching the game outside right now are thinking the same thing?’
Kim Yu-hyeon thought with a slightly mischievous smile.
Now it was time for those people to wake up.
Lee Chang-hyun’s idea.
The moment I saw the form of Gilhan next to me being cut down by a sickle in an instant, there was no need to delay any longer.
Because you’re already completely in the center of the opponent’s camp.
“[Fortification]!”
As soon as the enemy appeared, [Create Non-violent Zone] was activated and it didn’t take any time to use [Fortification].
‘Because it was a pre-planned strategy.’
Lee Chang-hyun was also looking this way and smiling.
Kukukukukukung – !
But the results were by no means light.
Originally, it was an ordinary steep mountain, densely forested, full of trees and rocks.
Because ‘fortification’ changed the surrounding terrain in response to Kim Yu-hyeon’s will.
The four PER members above, and the six Aurora members.
And in an instant, as giant trees grow, the earth, trees, and rocks shake and split into the shape of huge structures, rising up.
Lee Chang-hyun was releasing all of his mana outward in an instant, performing [Mana Expansion] without holding back.
‘The board is all set, so do your best. Lee Chang-hyun.’
With that thought in mind, Kim Yu-hyeon simply looked at Lee Chang-hyeon.
***
Adrian, who saw his opponent first and took the lead in an ambush, couldn’t help but be flustered.
I clearly cut down one of my opponent’s vanguards with a scythe, but it was a strange sensation.
And was that feeling not wrong?
It disappeared like a goblin.
‘Tsk… … .’
But I didn’t panic. It was common for me to engage in a fight with my opponent during a fight.
Just as Aurora has her own plans and tricks, so does her opponent.
“It seems like the enemy anticipated the ambush. The one at the very front was a scarecrow.”
“What? Then you came in knowing that? Are you crazy? Hahaha.”
Olivier laughed heartily at the voice, thinking that what the other person had done was stupid.
But before we could laugh any longer, the battlefield suddenly changed.
Yes, just like Aurora prepared in advance. The opponent must have prepared for battle in advance as well.
The tree that had been growing normally grew to an enormous size as if it had become a sacred tree, and the ground suddenly sank on one side and rose on the other side.
It’s as if you’re watching a natural process of creating a natural fortress.
The natural objects that were already here were gradually adjusted to create a huge shape.
“Well, I guess you didn’t come in without thinking.”
Olivier’s voice, as if he was having fun, rang through the earphones.
But Adrian wasn’t quite as happy as Olivier.
‘I already knew the terrain perfectly and had even memorized the combat strategy in my head, but you changed the terrain all at once.’
And that’s not all? This terrain was suddenly turned upside down and artificially formed by the opponent’s ability…
Not only is it hard to understand how he can generate and maintain abilities of this scale, but the team members are all scattered.
‘It’s already full of mana, so it’s hard to even figure out where my teammates are… … .’
Even if you could break through the wall of trees and rocks, it was difficult to know whether you would be able to join your teammates.
‘Tsk… … .’
The advantage of learning the terrain in advance and ambushing it. The advantage of having more people. They were all lost in an instant with this one move.
The only good thing is that I can communicate with my team members… …
“Should I join? I feel like I’m being tangled up in the opponent’s numbers.”
“Join? How? It seems impossible to find them by following the traces of mana. The terrain is rising, and it’s hard to keep track of the other guys’ directions as they move.”
It was clearly an ambush situation to attack the opponent, but somehow the situation turned out completely the opposite.
However, there were people who did not think this situation was that dangerous… …
“Are you okay?”
“what?”
“Anyway, we’ve already confirmed the opponent’s vanguard… … The only one with clear data on superior combat prowess is Lee Chang-hyun. He’s the only one. Even if we’re scattered, we can just continue the fight. With the feeling of defeating them one by one.”
It was Olivier’s point.
‘That certainly makes sense… … .’
The scale of the [Fortification] ability of this guy Kim Yu-Hyeon, which I just checked again, is much larger and more amazing than I expected… … but it only changes the terrain and causes confusion. It doesn’t seem to help in combat power.
Is that all? When looking at the match data, the guy named ‘Lee Gil-han’ also faithfully fulfilled his role as a meat shield, but that was all.
In contrast, all six members of Aurora are specialists in combat.
The terrain has changed a little. Even if the ambush had failed, nothing would have changed.
But the moment I thought that.
Even though I noticed this ambush, does that mean I didn’t just walk into the tiger’s mouth for no reason?
In the midst of the already dense mana swirling around, I felt a wave of ‘mana’.
‘[Mana Expansion]… Who? Among the members participating in this PER, there’s probably no one who uses [Mana Expansion] in their data… ‘
And it didn’t take Adrian long to realize that the source of the mana gushing forth wasn’t too far away.
The corner on the left, where I thought there was nothing special. I passed by without finding anything special even after looking.
The moment I felt the waves of mana there and looked at them again.
Adrian couldn’t help but be surprised.
There was a place I passed by, thinking there was definitely nothing there.
The muzzle of a guy camouflaged with protective coloration similar to that of a bush.
Because he was flashing his white teeth at me.
“bread!”
