Colosseum -4-
“Iron Fist? What is that?”
The King of Destruction quickly began to control his expression.
It’s late.
I saw everything that was surprising.
“If you don’t have it, you can make a diamond for me.”
“If 10 isn’t enough, I’ll give you 20!”
“Okay. 10 diamonds and an iron fist. If it’s not that, I refuse. Make the diamonds.”
I must not be distracted by the profits I see.
What matters is the damage suffered by the opponent, the King of Destruction.
I don’t know if you have nectar like me, but diamonds alone aren’t enough.
No matter how much Dia hears the sound of mini nectar, it doesn’t have the transformation effect of nectar.
After I relieve the magic circuit here, I’ll have to rest for a while.
Ugh!
The King of Destroyer has sharpened this.
I felt that there was no room for error in my resolute attitude.
“Really, really, does it have to be that condition? Can’t there be any other condition?”
“No.”
If you were a dirty person, you would have said f*ck off and cut off the magic circuit.
The King of Destroyer is not that kind of person.
Self-interest is more important.
Instead, since my pride is high, I will set one condition for you.
“······Okay. But there is one condition. If you don’t accept this, I will make the diamond you want. I will do it myself!”
“What is it?”
“Later, whenever I want, I want to have an unlimited fight in the innermost part of this Colosseum. I’ll put my iron fist on the line.”
It was as expected.
The King of Destroyer behaved exactly as he had in the game.
“Okay. But let’s discuss the schedule. I’m also busy. But I won’t put it off day after day. I promise you this.”
“I will believe you.”
The King of Destruction staggered to his feet.
The bitter look on his face as he leaves.
After spending some time on stage, I returned to the dressing room.
The junk dealer was waiting excitedly.
“Superhuman! No, Warrior King! You are truly amazing! Wow, that clean evasion and the fiery duel! The rumors are already spreading. Supernova, the Warrior King has appeared!”
“Everything is fine, but don’t call me that nickname.”
“Yes? Why? Isn’t it cool?”
“That’s not cool at all. It’s childish. Don’t ever use that nickname in front of me.”
“It’s cool······”
“If you call me one more time, I will find another broker.”
“Ugh! I will never, ever use it. Never!”
How much diamonds have you invested? You will never let me go.
The junk dealer bowed his head at the soft threat.
That was only for a moment. The door opened and an antique box came in, so I took it and brought it to me.
“The King of Destruction sent you this. You said you received it as a special offer? 10 diamonds and an iron fist… Huh! An iron fist? Wow, you did a good job, Superman. It’s the high-level artifact, the iron fist.”
The box was opened in the presence of Colosseum staff.
The box opened only after the Destroyer dropped the enclosed blood drop, entered the password, plugged in the USB, and even turned the analog key.
And a single, crude steel gauntlet is revealed.
A form that protects everything from the hand to the forearm.
Thin steel plates are arranged tightly like fish scales.
Inside the seam, a blue-gray magical light pulsed as if breathing.
Crunch.
When you put it in your hand, it automatically shrinks in size and fits perfectly.
The ability he possesses is [Iron Fist].
I tried it once.
Choaack!
The steel plates unfold and a magical light envelops my entire body.
It’s like looking at a medieval knight in plate armor.
So, Iron Fist.
Normally it only increases strength and stamina, but for exactly 10 seconds it drastically reduces all damage.
The downside is that it takes 24 hours to recharge, but it’s cheap if you think of it as an extra life.
‘I’m finally taking off my vampire gloves.’
He handed it over to a junk dealer on the spot.
“Well written.”
“uh······”
The junk dealer looked as if he was newly moved.
“This is something I sold. Would you like me to buy it back for you?”
“Then that’s good.”
“Hehehe. It would be better if you just give it to me.”

“Let’s do the math right.”
“Oh, of course. It feels a bit strange to hear that obvious statement again.”
“Do you remember when the boss was overreacting back then?”
“Of course. That was all just to appeal to you, Superman.”
So, he even did a performance where he wore gloves and ripped off his skin.
Not just to sell stuff, but ultimately to establish myself as a Colosseum player.
In the end, it was a real success.
“Superman. Then when will you come again next time?”
“Well? If I need a diamond.”
“Well, since you earned 17 today······ I’ll contact you when I get some diamonds. I have a place to use the ones I earned today.”
The junk dealer glances at the Colosseum staff.
The Colosseum staff member is chuckling, probably because he owes the Colosseum a diamond.
That’s too bad.
If you buy just 3 diamonds from a junk dealer, you’ll be guaranteed to have 2 traits transplanted.
“Okay. Then shall we go back?”
“Hehehe! Yes! You should go home! I’ll take you home!”
The sun was slowly rising.
It’s still before work time.
I came home speeding along the empty road.
After entering the training room, I laid out the diamonds on the table.
‘Let’s go first, Immortal.’
If I had earned 20 diamonds, my choices would have been different.
He must have brought the castle and the discipline to complete the Vajra Body.
But ambiguously 17.
Besides, because of the flashy debut today, it will be difficult to play matches for the time being.
There was a need to squeeze out maximum efficiency.
“Hoooo.”
My heart was pounding.
The fun of combining and acquiring each of the upper-level characteristics.
The thrill of feeling myself getting stronger in real time was sending shivers down my spine.
I equipped them one by one, chewing over their characteristics.
[Regeneration] that always faithfully restores the body
[Revival] is expressed more strongly as the body is damaged.
[Wound Recovery] Specialized in trauma healing
The most basic, but definitely effective at restoring stamina [Vitality]
[Vitality] that greatly increases stamina and restores it quickly
[Healing], a magical ability that heals the body by consuming magical power.
Wood crunch!
The moment I combined the traits, my whole body shook violently.
It was worse than the power of the giant.
Not only are the bones and muscles crushed, but the internal organs are greatly twisted and the blood vessels throughout the body boil.
“Ugh.”
I barely managed to swallow a groan.
He couldn’t get help from traits like patience.
I had to endure, with my mind clear, my body being crushed, torn, burned, frozen, and my strength drained and then restored.
A pain almost comparable to a fever.
After a long time, the trait combination was finally completed.
I looked at myself in the mirror with a clear mind and a somewhat awkward feeling.
There is no visible change.
But, just what should I say?
Even to me, it seemed like a strange atmosphere.
A posture as solid as a rock.
Deeply sunken eyes.
When [Immortal] is removed, it returns to its natural appearance.
‘It will definitely stand out.’
With the strength of a giant, he becomes a gigantic figure and exudes a strong aura just like before?
It was certain that he would attract attention wherever he went.
It would be spectacular if you could complete the Diamond Body and build the Trinity.
“The last one······”
I was lost in thought, putting down my protective suit pants and folding shield.
Extremes and fortresses.
A fortress specialized in magical defense, and a fortress that greatly increases defense and resistance for a certain period of time.
After thinking for a while, I chose a shield.
‘Let’s transplant the citadel and get another shield.’
Anyway, the protective suit has to be used for a long time.
Because it’s hard to find something like this.
The shield wasn’t that bad. Now that I had saved up money, I was able to somehow get a decent shield.
It would be nice if there was a unique SR-grade shield like Iron Fist.
I’m talking about changing the holy sword and magic gun too.
Phew.
The citadel seeped into my body.
There is only one step left to reach Geumgangsa.
Just one step left until the Trinity Warrior build.
I enjoyed the aftertaste for a moment, feeling a sense of fulfillment welling up in me.
Keep the rest of the diamonds.
The first priority was the Diamond Body, the second was the Air Raid, and the third was the Magic Soul.
Besides these, there are also undefeated warriors, gunslingers, and sword experts waiting in line.
‘While you’re at it, why don’t you make a sixth sense too?’
The material characteristics of the sixth sense are sensitivity, bright eyes, pointed ears, a dog’s nose, the tongue of a god, and sensitive skin. There are six of them.
The most difficult to obtain was the dog nose.
Because I had to get my nose stuck in Surströmming.
It’s not easy on the tongue of God or sensitive skin.
You just need to eat some salmiaki (licorice candy) and buy cosmetics for each of the four skin types: dry, oily, combination, and sensitive, and apply them to your skin.
‘I don’t feel like going out.’
There’s no need to put down your smartphone and go out for a walk.
I ordered licorice candies and men’s cosmetics on the spot.
It will probably arrive tomorrow.
Let’s eat licorice candy and apply cosmetics in between practicing.
“Huh, good.”
I immersed my body in the magical waters.
Find the optimal combination by changing the characteristics.
[Bankruptcy Law][Einherjar Law][Magic Heart]
[Strength of the Giant][Immortal][Perseverance]
This was about right.
What if you replace Patience with Diamond Body, Magic Heart with Magic Soul, and Bankruptcy Sword Technique and Einherjar Training Technique with Advanced Sword Technique and Training Technique?
This is the perfect example.
Of course, I don’t intend to use it only like that.
‘Let’s get some sleep.’
End of level 2.
I remember experiencing side effects from practicing without sleeping.
I stayed up all night again, so I should get some sleep.
I buried myself in the magic bath and fell asleep.
And then I woke up around noon, about four hours later.
Begin training.
Ss …
The sound of the wind cutting through the air is powerful.
I rolled my head while writing one point and one attack in succession.
‘I need to get a sword expert too.’
It has the minimum required trait, namely swordsmanship.
I received a lot of help from Seo Woo Jin.
Here are the points and the strikes, so if you just have the draw, flow, and parry characteristics, you can become a sword expert.
Additionally, if you make a bunch of other weapon specialists and combine them, that’s a weapon specialist build······
‘Sword Master is better for me.’
Sword Master is a nickname.
The official title is Master of the Sword.
Weapon Expert is a combination trait of six weapon experts, so the bonus is tremendous. In terms of additional abilities alone, it is tier 0 among all the top traits in Arcane Seoul.
The problem was its unique characteristics.
The top-notch Cheonma Shingong recognized by everyone.
The three major swordsmanship methods that follow.
The rest are all under the three great swordsmanship methods. Whether it be spearmanship or martial arts.
No matter how much he inflated Kim Jeon Sa’s abilities as a weapons expert, it was no use against Cheon Ma Han.
There is only one way to defeat Cheonma.
Inherit all three sword techniques and create a specialized set of traits based on the sword’s owner.
‘Let’s start from the beginning.’
I took a stance.
Turn your body slightly, grab the scabbard with your left hand, and pull it back.
Then, hold the handle of the holy sword with your right hand and empower it with magic.
When you feel like the magic power has accumulated inside the scabbard, explode it and draw the sword!
Kkwarreung!
Thunder rumbled as magic exploded.
A bright blue light leapt out eerily.
But it’s not sharp.
There was only a loud noise, power radiating in all directions, and light bursting out.
“Ah!”
Moreover, some of the magic power hit my face.
Thanks to the immortality trait, I recovered quickly, but it was still a stinging pain.
‘It’s not easy.’
Even though he was a blank-slate warrior, it was nearly impossible to obtain the sword through training with other characters.
You had to experience it in real life or find a teacher NPC to learn it.
“Hoo, hoo.”
Practice your feet without stopping.
In actual combat, using a sword increases the chances of obtaining it by more than 10 times, but if you use it in actual combat, you are very likely to get stabbed and die.
The answer was to put in enough time and effort, even if it was tedious and took a long time.
Especially to Kim Jeon-sa.
Kkwarung! Kkwarung! Kkwarung!
By my calculations, it would take about three days.
The problem isn’t the launch, it’s the spilling and the kicking.
You can never achieve it by practicing alone.
I need a teacher or a partner······
‘I’m indebted to you again.’
Last time, the swordsmanship instruction was within the acceptable range.
Because I gave something.
But you receive guidance from Seo Woo-jin until you drop and throw away?
For free?
It’s clearly crossing the line and putting you in debt.
It would be a hundred times better to hire a superhuman mercenary and have a duel with him.
‘Let’s do that.’
First, get the footsteps.
“Hoo, huff!”
Swing your sword again.
It tears the air with a loud crash.
After two days had passed.
My smartphone, which had been silent, cried.
[Jung Jin-young the Hunter]
The hunter who bought the mountain king’s corpse from me at a high price.
What’s happening all of a sudden?
[Hello. Do you remember me? We met in Cheorwon.]
“Remember? Didn’t you buy the mountain king’s corpse?”
[Haha. You remember. What do you think about inviting Superman to become a regular member of our association? The chairman was greatly impressed when he saw the corpse of the mountain king.]
Hunter’s Association?
That’s good.
If you are a regular member of the Hunters’ Association, you do not need to get hunting permits from each of the two groups. Just show your membership card, go in, hunt, and report it later.
A large number of prey that become ingredients for special elixirs.
A variety of missions that reward magical weapons, elixirs, and rare materials.
There is no reason to refuse.
“Okay, I’ll gladly accept it.”
[Excuse me, but could you come to the association for a moment? The association president would like to meet you, Superman.]
“It would be an honor. I will go right away.”
Maybe it’s him?
A friendly, kind-hearted man who gives out rewards.
A person commonly known as the head of the household registration association.
But that wasn’t the case.
A completely random person was standing in front of me with sharp eyes.
“Nice to meet you. I am Yoon Byeong-jin, the president of the Hunters’ Association.”
Aren’t you the president of the hunter’s association?
In my memory, on my smart screen, this man was recorded with a completely different title.
As a [member of the National Assembly] and [boss of an assassination organization].
