Episode 68
The darkness that Hemis had spread has been dispelled.
Motem’s gaze, which had been looking up at the sky, also descends and faces forward.
He muttered in a low voice.
“The lord is angry.”
You can tell just by the voice.
That Hemis wasn’t feeling too well.
-Morten. Can you hear me?
At that moment, a voice came into Motem’s head.
It was Hemis.
“Yes, my lord. Speak.” – No need to look after him. Just trample him without mercy, even if he dies.
“All right.”
-Um, but if there’s someone who seems to have a decent sense of humor, just pass the flag over to them.
“Are you telling me to hand over the flag on purpose?” – Yes. Even if those guys come in a group, it would be impossible for them to take the flag from you.
As Hemis said.
The participants will all work together to avoid discrimination.
Motem was confident.
If he wants, he won’t hand over a single flag.
-Because it can’t be that no one passes. If you think it’s okay, hand over the flag. You know what I mean?
“Yes, I will do that.” – Okay. Just wait another hour.
Hemis’ voice cut off.
Motem stretched his body slightly.
‘This might be fun.’
Things are different now.
Probably all 100 participants will join together and rush in with the determination to die.
On the other hand, Mortem must fight while taking care not to let them die.
‘I wonder what it will be like…’
Is there anyone who would take the flag from you?
If there’s anyone who shows really good sense, as Hemis has instructed, I plan to hand over the flag.
However, gaining recognition may not be that easy.
“First of all, these guys are eliminated.”
Motem reached out.
His grip was already gripping the demon’s neck.
“Ugh, ugh…!”
“You call this a surprise attack? I can’t stand to watch this with my eyes open.”
Motem slammed the demon he was holding into the ground.
Kwajik!
The demon, whose head was half buried in the ground, lost consciousness.
Maybe he’s dead, but it doesn’t matter.
The lord’s orders are to ignore them and trample them down without mercy.
It would be okay if one or two of these pathetic guys died.
“Kill him!”
“Take the flag! He’s alone!”
As if the first attack was a signal, demons rushed in from all directions.
The number alone is in the dozens.
The participants who had been loitering around, keeping an eye on things, all rushed in at once.
The corners of Motem’s mouth, hidden behind his armor, rose slightly.
‘Come.’
Attacks come from all sides.
You can’t avoid it all.
Most attacks are countered with the body.
Crunch, crunch!
The greatsword on Motem’s back was still unsheathed.
He swung his heavy hands and feet and crushed the participants one by one.
***
Choi Hyun-seok looked ahead with sinking eyes.
His lips twitched.
“Not yet. Wait.”
The team members who were making moves as if they were going to run out at any moment flinched and stopped.
“If you go in now, you’ll just get caught up in a fight.”
A battle is in full swing somewhere far away.
Each participant is equivalent to a battalion commander.
As such strong men fought with the determination to die, the aftermath was terrifying.
A loud noise continued, as if the entire forest was being turned upside down.
“We’ll wait a little longer.” “How long are we going to wait? There are less than ten minutes left.”
Holgot looked up at the sky and said.
As he said, time was ticking down in real time on the situation board displayed in the sky.

About 10 minutes left.
If you don’t get the flag in there, it’s all over.
“I don’t want to be punished…”
The fox tribe
Pedisen was the first to speak.
His hard voice was laced with genuine fear.
It was a completely different look from his usual innocent self, always playing with dirt.
For the demon race, the punishment of being a human was a fearful one.
“Hold on. You only get one chance. Be very careful.”
The situation was chaotic.
The contestants casted spells indiscriminately.
Everyone was so caught up in the idea of taking down Motem that they couldn’t make sound decisions.
‘More people are struck down by their own magic than by the black armor.’
Most of the magic failed to hit Mortem.
There were many cases of people falling down after being hit by the magic of other participants.
Entering this situation will only increase the confusion.
‘No matter how many there are, they will only get in each other’s way. We wait for the optimal moment to grab the flag.’
There was another reason for Choi Hyun-seok’s wait.
‘He never tried to get back the flag he had stolen.’
Motem only defended the flag and showed no moves to recover the captured flag.
In other words, if we could somehow get our hands on the flag, victory was assured.
“Just wait a little longer. The time will come soon.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who encourages his team members, is also impatient.
He checked the time, desperately suppressing his emotions.
[ 3:23 ]
Before we knew it, there were less than 4 minutes left.
There really is no time now.
“How long are we going to wait! The game will end like this!”
Holgot shouted, fidgeting.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up.
‘now…!’
I waited and waited.
I was anxious, but I held on.
For optimal timing.
And now.
Choi Hyun-seok finally felt that the time he had been waiting for had come.
He jumped up.
“Now! Move!”
At the same time as the shout, the team members jumped out as if they had been waiting.
Choi Hyun-seok also ran forward.
He looks at Holgot and shouts.
“Holgott! Blow!”
“Don’t give orders!”
Despite his irritated response, Holgot used the magic he had prepared diligently.
“Rain of beads!”
A magic that was previously used against Choi Hyun-seok.
It was a magic that fired small beads with explosive power over a wide area.
“Die!”
But the magic contained within is incomparable to that time.
Holgot poured all his magic into his survival.
When the marble hit the ground, a massive explosion occurred.
Kwakwakwakwang!
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up when he saw its power.
‘It may look like it’s going to hurt at first glance, but the black armor will be fine.’
Among the magic spells that the contestants have used so far, there have been many that were more powerful than this.
This much black armor won’t even bother Mortem.
Still, there was a reason why Choi Hyun-seok used this magic.
Phew…
The explosion sent black smoke and dust billowing up across the area.
A momentary obscuration of vision as if a smoke bomb had exploded.
Choi Hyun-seok shouted again.
“Ikigly!”
The Ikigli floating in the sky quickly fell to the ground.
It was an incredible speed, much faster than Choi Hyun-seok running at full speed.
“Catch me!”
Ikigli broke through the dust and arrived in front of the mote.
His eyes were fixed on the flag pinned to Mortem’s back.
‘please!’
Ikigly quickly reaches out his hand.
chin!
But Motem’s hands were one step faster than that.
Motem grabbed Ikigli’s leash.
“Cough…!”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up as he watched Ikigli writhing in pain.
‘It’s now.’
Anyway, up to this point it is within the expected range.
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t expect it from the beginning.
It would have been nice if Ikigly had succeeded, but the chances of that happening were extremely low.
Therefore, the reality is now.
He began the final attack he had prepared.
Raidrun style fighting techniques
Type 3 – Charge
Choi Hyun-seok struck out at incredible speed.
A black flame rose behind him as he ran.
The target is Motem’s back.
I plan to attack from behind and steal the flag.
Motem turned around as if he had sensed the magic for a moment.
The distance from Choi Hyun-seok is only about ten meters.
Although it may seem like a long distance, you can get there in the blink of an eye.
However, Motem showed monstrous reaction speed.
‘I’m trying to avoid it, after all.’
An urgent situation where sudden attacks occur one after another.
Even in that situation, Motem twisted his body to try to avoid Choi Hyun-seok’s attack.
‘I got caught.’
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly.
At the same time, Pedisen rose from the ground and grabbed Motem’s ankle.
suddenly!
“this…”
For the first time, a voice of confusion comes out of Motem’s mouth.
Kwaaang!
Choi Hyun-seok and Motem clashed.
***
There are a whopping 100 demons with battalion commander-level military power.
Despite being under concentrated attack from them, Motem was relaxed.
No, to be exact, it was a little boring.
‘Most of them are below par.’
I was excited to come back to the world after 100 years.
It got cold quickly.
These guys are all trash.
There is not a single person who knows how to use the power they have properly.
It feels like fighting a child with overwhelming powers that you can’t control.
‘Have the demons of this era become this weak?’
The demon tribe of the era in which Motem was active was not like this.
Each and every one of the demons at that time were true warriors.
The once strong demon was now a fool with only strength.
‘It wasn’t like this even 100 years ago.’
Why do demons become weaker over time?
Motem felt depressed and angry at the same time.
‘There are only 10 minutes left. There is no one left to give the flag to.’
There is not much time left now.
The total number of demons he has handed over the flag to so far is five.
In fact, I didn’t even want to give it to him, but I had no choice but to give it to him because of Hemis’ orders.
The sight of idiots getting excited without even realizing that they had intentionally handed over the flag flashed before my eyes.
‘What a pity. What a pity…’
The moment when Mortem was drooling inwardly.
Choi Hyun-seok and his team members moved.
“Rain of beads!”
A magical orb falling from the sky.
It’s packed with explosive power.
‘This sucks.’
It looks flashy but has no substance.
Only the lowest of the low would fall for this kind of magic.
Kwakwakwakwang!
A large explosion occurred near the mortar, which was soon engulfed in dust.
‘Well, was it to block the view?’
Now that I look at it, it seems like the original purpose was to cover his own eyes.
At that moment, I felt a magic energy approaching from the sky at high speed.
‘The speed is decent. But it’s too honest.’
Mortem reached out without even looking.
Ikigli’s neck falls into Motem’s grasp as if it were being sucked into a magnet.
Ikigli, struggling in pain.
Just as I was about to finish, I felt a magic energy approaching from behind.
‘Oh, is there something left?’
When I turned around, I saw a human with a devil-like expression.
‘Is that the man the lord spoke of?’
I’ve already heard about Choi Hyun-seok.
“Oh, there’ll be a human during the game.” “Are humans participating too?” “Yeah. He’s pretty interesting, so you can look forward to it.”
A human being that Hemis said was worth looking forward to.
Motem stared intently at the approaching Choi Hyun-seok.
‘The speculation itself is quite good, but the user handling it is immature… No, considering the amount of magic, it is actually excellent.’
I don’t know why humans possess magic.
First of all, the skill to use magic itself didn’t seem bad.
‘I’m pouring out most of the magic I have.’
Normally, when the total amount of magic you have is 100, the magic used for speculation is level 5.
Even at 100,000, the difficulty increases significantly and a strong burden is placed on the body.
However, the human running in front of me was using his magic, pouring out nearly half of his magic energy.
‘It’s an outstanding ability, but it’s a little disappointing if this is the end.’
Simply pouring out magic and speculating doesn’t solve everything.
That human will fall as a result of using technology.
He himself will still stand.
‘Even though you’ve been watching me until now, you still don’t know my skills?’
Mortem twisted his body to avoid the attack.
But, before he knew it, a leg had sprouted from the ground and was grabbing his ankle.
“this…”
Was this real?
Even though I was underground, I didn’t feel any magic at all.
With a very brief moment of confusion, Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder advanced towards Motem’s waist.
‘Hmm!’
It has quite a bit of power.
The total amount of magical energy that a human possessed was not that great, but most of it was poured into it.
‘This is impossible!’
However, it is far from enough to damage Mortem.
At that moment, ‘magic’ rather than ‘magic energy’ moved through Choi Hyun-seok’s body.
“Mapokshik!”
Magic explosion style.
A technique that intentionally causes magical power and magic energy to collide.
It was the technique that formed the basis of the ‘Raid Run-style martial arts variation’.
Motem’s face slightly distorted after being attacked.
‘A strange feeling I’m experiencing for the first time.’
Although it is clearly Magi, it is different from the Magi that Motem knew.
A violent and erratic surge of magic surged into the interior of the mortar.
‘I can’t stop it. Is it all I can do to just endure it?’
I don’t know if you’ve experienced similar attacks several times, but for now, enduring it is the best you can do.
Choi Hyun-seok’s magic shook the inside of the mortar.
Motem felt slightly queasy.
‘This is annoying.’
Was it because I was treated like that by a person I only thought of as a playmate?
My eyes become sharper without me realizing it.
Motem reached out his hand to Choi Hyun-seok.
I was thinking of snapping this insolent human in half.
‘hmm?’
But Mortem’s hand merely brushed the air.
Choi Hyun-seok collapsed on the floor as if he had collapsed.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Choi Hyun-seok, lying on the floor, was holding a flag in his hand.
He looked up at the mortar.
The corners of the lips go up.
It was an obvious mockery.
Motem’s eyebrows furrowed.
‘This guy…!’
After hanging out with him for a bit, he started crawling all the way to the top of my head.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok pointed to the sky with his finger.
“stomach.”
Motem instinctively raised his head and looked up at the sky.
[ 00:02 ]
[ 00:01 ]
[ Game End ]
Motem’s gaze turned back to Choi Hyun-seok, who was lying on the floor.
Choi Hyun-seok raised his hands, trembling as if he had lost all his strength.
His stop slowly goes up.
“You were a bitch when we met… Let’s never see each other again.”
That’s how the second game ended.
