Colosseum -3-
“This is awesome, awesome!”
The junk dealer laughed and smiled.
“My eyes were not wrong. Hahaha! Five wins in a row. Five wins in a row!”
“Did you get some diamonds?”
“It’s not just diamonds! The money has also increased several times. Hehe, the humans who recognized Superman bet money, so the payout was lower than expected, but it’s still a jackpot, a total jackpot!”
I also saved a little pocket money.
I earned enough that I wasn’t concerned about money, but it was more of a habit.
It’s better to earn it while you can, because you never know when you’ll need it again.
Is it because we won 5 times in a row?
I was assigned a private waiting room.
When the bikini beauties tried to stick to me, I got annoyed and chased them away.
Then the junk dealer looks at me with a strange expression.
“Are you not interested in women, Superman?”
“Yes. Not really.”
“Then should I ask the good-looking guys to come in?”
Huh? What did you say?
For a moment, I got goosebumps.
I find myself shaking my head violently.
“Absolutely, absolutely not. Absolutely not!”
“Oh, I made a mistake. If you don’t like women or men, then I guess you’re just not interested in them at all.”
“Yes. No.”
“You turned away from the greatest pleasure in life······ That must be why you became so strong.”
That’s because something happened in the original world.
This means that it’s not just about being scammed in rental properties, but also at construction sites.
He was truly a fool among fools.
I feel like the whole world is trying to suppress me.
So, I’ve been thinking about this sometimes lately.
‘Do I really have to go back to the original world?’
If you have money and ability, this world is worth living in.
The problem is the episodes that unfold one after another.
The resurrection of the ancient gods, nuclear war, dimensional cracks······
If only we could stop them, life in this world wouldn’t be so bad.
As I was thinking that, the junk shop’s smartphone rang.
“Oh.”
The junk dealer laughed as if he had witnessed an amusing incident.
“The challenge has arrived.”
“To whom?”
“I’m ranked 1st in the Level 4 rankings and 10th overall. Have you heard of the King of Destruction?”
Of course I know.
“I heard about it.”
“As expected, you are Superman. It seems that the King of Destruction saw Superman’s match. He contacted me and said he wants to have a special match with Superman.”
“You seem confident.”
“Hehehe. You shouldn’t underestimate the King of Destruction. Just as Superman was able to kill you with one shot, the King of Destruction was able to kill you with one shot. These days, he seems to have become more showmanlike and fights while buying time.”
King of Destroyer.
An NPC and SR-class character.
Level 5 at the start of the game.
Looking at the fact that it’s level 4 now, it’s probably not as complete as it was back then.
‘What were the starting characteristics?’
[Real Fighting][Strength of the Giant][Martial Arts]
Three like this.
Can you see it?
It has two higher characteristics.
Especially real combat.
A universal combat trait created by combining strikes, combos, defense, evasion, counterattack, and suppression.
This applies to both hand-to-hand combat and weapon combat.
‘It might be a little difficult······’
The joints are the problem.
If the King of Destruction didn’t have the power of a giant, he could probably escape by brute force, but if he got caught, there was a high chance that the match would end like that.
I fiddled with the pocket containing the diamonds.
Today I earned exactly 7 diamonds.
It’s a little disappointing.
If one person hadn’t given up on making the diamonds, 9 would have been possible.
So I started to get a little greedy.
‘There is no such thing as a must.’
I have my advantages too.
Blank body and trait switching.
It’s true that I’m at a disadvantage in a bare-handed fight, but I have the advantage in terms of specs.

another.
What if I combined the real-world fighting traits here?
‘It’s quite possible.’
The final piece of real-world fighting skills: subjugation.
He nodded after recalling the conditions for acquiring that trait.
“Okay, I’ll accept it.”
“Is that okay? You don’t have to accept the special match. The organizers will understand since the opponent is the King of Destruction. The rankings are also very different.”
“I am confident.”
“If that’s the case…then you absolutely have to win!”
The match was held.
The stage is set up quickly as if it had been waiting.
“Wow!”
“The Super Rookie is going to face the King of Destruction?”
“The King of Destruction specially appointed me!”
“Oh, you’re the King of Destruction. I can’t stand seeing a super rookie doing well!”
“Wouldn’t our destroyer be the one who tramples on the growing sprouts?”
Before the iron bars come down.
I stood face to face with the King of Destruction.
I, the King of Destruction, am a muscular giant.
He was a head taller than the average person and his muscles were bulging in an intimidating manner.
That’s because it’s equipped with the same power as a giant.
“Hehehe.”
The King of Destruction wearing a pro wrestling mask laughed.
“Aesong-i is being nominated by me. Isn’t she just a pig coming out of a pigsty?”
“You’re the one who came out of the stomach.”
“Hehehe. Talk as much as you want. You’ll get beaten up soon anyway and end up crying like a baby.”
“You are the one.”
“It seems like you believe in your natural body, but it shows that specs and such are meaningless in the face of technology.”
I relaxed and relaxed.
Do some stretching and jumping jacks to warm up your body.
Replace the most important attribute.
[Giant’s strength][Superhuman strength][Strength]
[Matjip][Patience][Counterattack]
Balance was thrown out the window.
A set of traits that I chose at the risk of getting myself hurt.
Chorus!
The iron bars came down.
The game begins with a “ding!” bell sound.
“I will kill you!”
A destroyer who flies his body like a tiger.
Quick movement.
He tries to throw a punch at me, but as soon as I turn my body, he switches into a tackling position.
also!
I knew it!
I knew you’d get it from the joints!
Kuung!
There was no time to do anything.
A combination of real combat and martial arts.
When I realized that the King of Destruction was rushing towards me, he had already grabbed me by the waist and was lifting me upside down from my head.
“It’s over!”
The King of Destruction shouting with great joy.
“Wow!”
“It came out!”
“Put it in!”
The cheering crowd.
This was the King of Destruction’s specialty in the game.
Strictly speaking, he is the King of Destruction, whose fighting profession is classified as such.
Specifically, a wrestler.
When encountering a humanoid enemy, the King of Destruction would always rush towards it and bang its head against the ground.
But you know what?
If you know the attack method and timing, you can easily destroy even the most powerful joint technique?
I was swinging my fists from the start.
With your super strength activated and your counterattack enabled.
From the moment the King of Destroyer swooped in with a fake.
Boom!
The fist landed squarely in his stomach.
The trifecta of giant strength, brute force, and brute strength.
In addition, the counterattack is perfectly activated.
“Ugh!”
The King of Destroyer was shaken.
I also took advantage of the gap to regain my balance and escape.
But the King of Destruction was still the King of Destruction.
A born SR-ranked fighter.
He grabbed my arm and tried to put me in the amba.
I even predicted this.
A triple-joint attack that appears when the first attack misses!
Because the second one was Amba.
Boom!
This time, a counterattack.
Also, brute strength.
I struck him in the stomach again with my elbow, the same one I had struck him in earlier.
I could tell without even looking.
That the face of the King of Destroyer was seriously distorted.
“Kwaaak!”
I don’t know for sure, but it must have taken a serious toll on his internal organs.
A power that would have ruptured the insides of an ordinary person.
The King of Destroyer endured even this.
Although he lost his arm, he stretched out his powerful forearm and tried to wrap it around my neck.
choke.
But it was slow.
There was a very small gap because of the two consecutive shots to the upper abdomen.
Taat!
Jump out with a trait change.
[Movement][Leap]
The King of Destroyer’s fingertips licked my neck precariously.
It’s literally a difference of just a sheet of paper.
I stopped just before I reached the iron bars.
The King of Destruction glares at me like that.
“you······”
A surprise that cannot be hidden fills both eyes.
A face that asks how he was able to counterattack and dodge like this without any foresight.
But what should I do with this?
The truly surprising scene starts now.
“Hoooo.”
Take a deep breath that you have been holding.
I feel a new strength.
As you watch the King of Destruction, your mind will automatically start to think about where and how to grab him in order to defeat him.
The inspiration that comes from newly acquired traits, even if they differ from actual reality.
[Subjugation] trait.
That’s not the important thing.
I changed my traits like lightning.
[Strike][Consecutive Strike][Counterattack]
[Defense][Evasion][Suppression]
Six basic combat characteristics that need no explanation.
“Hmm?”
The King of Destroyer paused.
It would be weird.
I, who boasted a large physique like yours, suddenly became small.
From 190cm to 180cm.
From a muscular, hunched body type to a slender body type.
That was a failure.
If I had rushed in immediately after feeling something strange, I might not have known.
This match may have been decided as a victory for the King of Destruction.
But a moment, a very brief moment of hesitation ended up deciding the outcome.
Wow!
The magic circuit is broken.
The letters are disintegrating into pieces, each one breaking apart.
A pain that races through the magical circuits, the nervous system, and the cardiovascular system.
The pain soon turned into a thrilling coolness.
The pleasure of being in a hot spring raced through my spinal cord and all the way to my brain.
Pfft!
It’s like a trigger was pulled in my head.
The world looked different.
Especially the King of Destruction standing in front of me.
I could finally see how much hard training went into creating that natural yet upright posture.
[Actual Fighting] The trait has blossomed.
The King of Destroyer looked at me as if he were looking at an incomprehensible monster.
“You, what are you?”
“what?”
“What the hell! What the hell did you do? How did you get so strong in such a short time!”
[Giant Power][Real Fighting][Strong Strike]
[Matt House][Regeneration][Vitality]
My eyes were shaking.
I figured it out instinctively.
I have acquired the real-life fighting trait.
Before I got into actual combat, I was just a big and strong kid, but now I’m a full-fledged warrior.
If we were to judge only by hand-to-hand combat, I would be defeated by the King of Destruction, but I also have a secret weapon.
Walk slowly and steadily.
The King of Destruction raises both his fists.
Boxing stance.
He doesn’t seem to have any intention of putting his wrestling skills to the test again.
You probably don’t want to use it again since the three consecutive joint moves you were proud of and took pride in were destroyed.
I like that too.
If you go into full-on grappling, you’re technically too lacking.
“asleep!”
WHEEK!
A fist flies.
Turup.
Raise your arms to block.
After changing the striking characteristic to a defensive characteristic.
A dull jolt traveled up my arm, but not greatly.
Ss …
I swing my fist too.
With the re-equipped Strike trait, your fists explode with terrifying blasts.
The King of Destroyer bowed his head and avoided it.
Then, he approaches like lightning while lowering his posture and throws a punch.
Boom!
This time I couldn’t stop it and just got hit.
A sharp shock pierces my upper abdomen, but I’m okay.
Because the already equipped defensive traits, together with the actual fighting traits, effectively blocked damage.
Boom! Bam! Bam!
A brawl breaks out.
Get hit and get hit, get hit and get hit.
Certainly, the King of Destroyer’s attacks were sharp and precise.
A fist shoots out from the square and smashes my jaw as if it’s going to break, then hits my temple.
I feel like if I hit once, I get hit at least three or four times.
But it’s boiling.
This is because of the overlap of the actual fighting characteristics and other sub-characteristics.
A practical fighting trait that basically causes a strong hit to be added to a normal attack, automatically triggering defense, and adding bonuses to all other combat actions.
How about using defense when getting hit here, and a strong strike when attacking?
What if I use the counterattack trait when counterattacking?
The results were now coming out.
“Ugh!”
The King of Destruction, who had been hit once, ground his teeth.
His face is swollen like a steamed bun.
I got hit a lot more times, but I had a trait change.
Reduces damage with defense and armor.
Regeneration, healing wounds and restoring stamina with vitality.
But can the King of Destroyer defeat me?
Absolutely impossible!
“Kwaaak!”
The final blow that was finally delivered.
The King of Destroyer has collapsed.
“Not yet, not yet! Not yet!”
The King of Destruction is trying to get up, squatting on the floor.
I trampled on the King of Destruction’s waist like the warrior I saw when I first entered the Colosseum.
“Keuh-euk!”
“Surrender. If you don’t want to break your back.”
“shit!”
Already equipped with the [Suppression] trait.
This trait is most powerful when using the joint machine, but it can also be used in this situation.
The struggling King of Destruction finally gave in.
I gritted my teeth and banged my head on the floor in frustration, but I still managed to say what I needed to say.
“Surrender······I surrender.”
A moment of silence.
And then a thunderous roar erupted.
“Wow!”
“The King of Destroyer has lost!”
“Oh my god, the King of Destruction is defeated!”
“Kim Jeon Sa! Kim Jeon Sa!”
“He is the warrior king!”
“Warrior King! Warrior King!”
What? Warrior King?
Destroyer King was like that too, but there are so many childish names like this.
More than the names of professional wrestlers from the year 1988.
I’m so embarrassed I can’t even raise my head.
As I turned away and stared at the ceiling, the iron bars opened and the host came in and lifted my arm.
“The winner is Cheong-Kon! Cheong-Kon’s Warrior King! Surprisingly, it’s the victory of the Warrior King who debuted today! The Warrior King who defeated the #1 ranked Destroyer King in just one day of his debut! How high will he go? Introducing once again. The #1 ranked player in the Level 4 Warrior category, the Warrior King!”
“Warrior King! Warrior King!”
“You are the best!”
“Warrior King! Kill them all! Whoa! Warrior King!”
stop······
My HP is already 0!
“Okay, then we will proceed with creating the diamond according to the contract.”
The host held out the five-colored crystal he was holding.
The King of Destruction looks at the crystal with a serious face.
It must be a shame.
If you think about destroying the magical power circuits you’ve built up so far.
But the King of Destroyer’s answer was something I didn’t expect.
“Request to use special terms.”
“Special contract. You mean the special contract in case of defeat?”
“Yes.”
“You need the winner’s permission to do that.”
The King of Destroyer turned his gaze to me.
What’s a special offer?
When I made a puzzled expression, the host calmly explained.
“There was a special agreement we made when the King of Destruction became number 1 in the rankings. In the event of defeat, it was a special agreement that gave him new options other than diamond production and a long-term contract.”
“What is that?”
“It’s simple. The King of Destruction is currently at level 4, and if he makes a diamond, he can only get three or four. So, the special contract was to give one diamond to the organizer and one diamond to the broker, and if they negotiate separately with the winner and come to an agreement, they wouldn’t have to make the diamond themselves. It would be beneficial for the winner, too, since they would get more diamonds.”
Is that how you get out of it?
Well, if we don’t do that, the Colosseum won’t be maintained.
If you’re ranked number one, it’s a shame to throw it away just because you lost once.
I think there are quite a few players who have signed such special contracts, aside from the King of Destruction and the #1 ranked player.
I crossed my arms and stared at the King of Destruction.
“So what will you give me if I allow it?”
The King of Destroyer made a humiliating expression.
A situation where diamond production must be avoided at all costs.
The King of Destruction stated the conditions without hesitation.
“I’ll give you ten diamonds.”
“Ten?”
“Yes. Warrior… Wouldn’t that be better for you, Warrior King? Even if I make a diamond, I can only get four at most. Warrior King, you’ll only get two, so you’ll get five times more.”
That’s okay.
But is it really okay?
A king of destruction with the strength of a giant, practical fighting skills, and two superior characteristics.
Is the magic circuit of a level 4 SR-class superhuman only worth that much?
If you’re not going to drink nectar, how many months should you rest at least?
“It is not enough.”
“Huh? Not enough? Are you missing 10 diamonds?”
“Please give me one more.”
“One more? Um, 11 diamonds······ I can give you that much······”
“No. Not Diamond.”
I looked into the eyes of the King of Destruction.
Eyes trembling with humiliation, shame and anger.
The secret hidden within.
A diamond is nothing to the King of Destruction.
So I asked.
The most valuable thing to the King of Destroyer.
That item that appears in the game and cannot be unequipped unless you complete a personal quest.
“I will agree if you give me an iron fist.”
SR-grade magical weapon.
Iron fist.
The King of Destroyer glared.
