Episode 104
Shinji Nakata and Linfeng Zhang glared at each other and growled.
A safety zone located deep in the Abyss.
The two groups of players looked as if they were about to draw their weapons at any moment.
It was China centered on Zhang Linfeng and Japan centered on Shinji Nakata.
“Shall we give it a try here?”
Shinji Nakata said without avoiding Zhang Linfeng’s momentum.
My whole body tingled, but there was no need to back down.
That will be the same for the other person as well.
“Hehe. “You don’t know the topic.”
A blood sword was created in Zhang Linfeng’s hand.
Likewise, Shinji Nakata took a hand in the midnight sun.
Strike (拔刀).
With just one swing, he was confident that he could cut off not only the blood sword in Zhang Linfeng’s hand, but also his neck.
“Shinji… .”
At that time, Satoshi Ishii, who was watching from behind, quietly called to him.
He didn’t open his mouth, but his expression said it all.
There is no fighting here.
You shouldn’t get injured either.
The same was true for another Japanese S-rank player, Satomi Takato.
“Whoa.”
Shinji Nakata exhaled and let go of his hand holding Byakuya.
‘I was careless.’
It has been like this ever since she became a saint.
A state of excitement that is unusual for him.
‘Surely, if we fight here, we won’t be able to ignore the damage on our side. There is no need to reduce power any further.’
Once my thoughts were organized, I acted quickly.
“Jang Linfeng. Let me give in today. But in the end, we will be the ones laughing.”
“Hehehe. You only live with your mouth. “You would think that her life was saved thanks to her subordinates.”
“… … .”
“It’s a nice day. “I will also be generous.”
“joy.”
Zhang Linfeng lifted the blood sword, and Zhang Shuwei and the others followed.
Disappearing through the warp gate was an instant.
The person in charge approached Shinji Nakata with a puzzled expression.
“I’ll get ready right away so you can leave in five minutes.”
“Please.”
While the warp gate was recharging its magic power, Nakata Shinji looked around.
Because it was located in the deep part of the Abyss, there were not many people.
He thought of the man who called him to the Abyss.
‘Kim Tae-hyun. Was it just this much?’
Saint Yoshikawa Tsurara.
I came to the Abyss to seek revenge on her. The subject is actually missing.
It’s not even funny.
‘The guy who defeated her was only like this… .’
at that time.
Coo coo coo coo coo goong.
A huge magical explosion was felt from afar.
“… … !!”
All players in the safety zone, including Shinji Nakata, took out their weapons.
It was an instinctive action caused by an unimaginable wave of magical energy.
“Magic power… I can’t believe I can feel it so far… .”
“her… What the hell is this… .”
“Shinji. I guess I’m not feeling well. “Please return to Hong Kong quickly.”
“Sure.”
Just then, the person in charge informed me that the next gate was ready.
Shinji Nakata climbed the warp gate with his companions.
‘Is it some kind of territorial fight between monsters? Even so, it’s this much power… .’
Shaking my head.
He shook his head lightly.
I thought that the depths were full of unimaginable monsters.

Capital Hospital located in New Korea.
There, Yoo Ah-young and Park Seong-jin were having a conversation.
Park Seong-jin, known as the best player in New Korea.
He was wearing a hospital gown that did not suit him.
Looking at that, Ayoung nodded.
“So that’s how it happened.”

“Just come by ourselves first…” “I’m sorry.”
Seongjin Park said with a dark expression.
It was because of the guilt of leaving Taehyun behind in Yongin’s tower.
“no. “Player Kim Tae-hyun must have been aware of that level of risk.”
“… … .”
Park Seong-jin could not raise his head despite A-young’s words.
Even though it was the best.
They said Kwak Si-yang’s condition was urgent and he couldn’t wait.
It is true that he heartlessly abandoned the person who came to save him.
Ayoung sighed a little as she looked at Park Seongjin like that.
There was a need to change the topic.
“More than that, Seo Han-gil is not the only player who betrayed New Korea.”
“… … ?”
At that moment, a man appeared in Park Seong-jin’s head.
“Player Jang Jin-su. He also received money from the Chinese Players Association.”
“… … .”
As many as two members of the national team chose to betray their country.
How could a team leader be so disrespectful?
Nevertheless, Park Seong-jin couldn’t help but ask.
Why didn’t you tell them?
“Player Kim Tae-hyun, no, it was Tae-hyun’s request. In the current situation, players Park Seong-jin and Kwak Si-yang in Abyss would be in danger if they were touched for no reason. “After the friendly match, they asked me to plead guilty.”
“… … .”
“Of course, it was a plan that was carried out on the premise that Seo Han-gil did not have the guts to harm two people with advanced S-level skills.”
“You weren’t wrong.”
In fact, Seo Han-gil faithfully performed his duties as a national representative until a strong player named Zhang Linfeng appeared.
“so. “You don’t have to feel too guilty.”
“… “Thank you.”
Park Seong-jin nodded in response to Ah-young’s consolation.
“Rather, please focus on recovery. “If news spreads that guild leader Kwon Kang-hyeok, guild leader Kwak Si-yang, and player Park Seong-jin are injured, the powers will not remain silent.”
“Let’s do that. “What about Siyang?”
“Guild leader Kwak Si-yang… The condition is a bit serious. While he was seriously injured, his skills went out of control, and he used his body to overuse the skills again… .”
“In life… “Is there any problem?”
Park Seong-jin’s face darkened again.
If he had been a little stronger, Kwak Si-yang wouldn’t have had to push himself so hard.
“They said it would take at least two months to recover. But what’s more important than that… .”
“It’s arm regeneration.”
“yes. As you know, we are also in contact with the saint due to guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk. however… .”
“however?”
Seongjin Park urged an answer.
It’s definitely the power that a saint possesses.
‘You can fully recover without risk.’
Ayoung, who knew that feeling, frowned and said.
“All hotlines I had with her were cut off. I think she probably hung up on purpose on the other end… I really don’t know the reason… .”
Ayoung did not mention Taehyun.
This is because there is nothing good to be said about Taehyun, whose fate is unknown.
“That’s amazing. “I can’t believe the Night Walker guild leader said something like that.”
“oh. “You don’t think we know everything?”
“If the arm regenerates, let’s find out slowly. “Because Siyang will not fall below intermediate S level any time soon.”
Although it may be somewhat inconvenient, the wizard class was about training the mind rather than the body.
So even if you lose one arm, your skills will not decrease drastically.
“And me too. “I think I finally have a clue to get over the wall.”
Seongjin Park raised his one remaining arm.
It felt like cutting down the wall that was blocking me.
I still vividly remember the moment I swung the sword.
“no way… ?”
An S-class advanced player who has reached his limit.
The fact that he caught the clue is the highest level of S rank.
In other words, it means that we have caught the clue to national power level.
“okay. “He wouldn’t have made it if it weren’t for that kid.”
Park Seong-jin smiled bitterly.
“This is news that the president of the association would be happy to hear. What is the person in question doing right now? .”
“Deputy Director Go will bring him back well. “Let me believe it.”
At that time, one of Ayoung’s subordinates came into the hospital room.
“Guild leader. “It’s almost time for the friendly competition to close.”
“Is it already so late? Well, it seems like my stomach just hurts… “We’ll have to check the results.”
While saying that, Ayoung turned on the television mounted on the wall.
With Hong Kong as the backdrop, representatives and association presidents from each country were gathering one after another.
[Asian player friendly match. The huge journey is just around the corner!! There was a fierce battle for points for the lead… .]
“At this point, I wanted to blow away all those ugly old men.”
“I agree.”
Ayoung and Park Seong-jin spoke while looking at Zheng Zhi, president of the Chinese Players Association, and Masataka Kubota, president of the Japan Players Association, on the screen.
Ji Jin-hee, with a stern expression, appeared next to them.
“Ugh… President of our association. “I’m sure you’ll be patient again.”
At that time, Ayoung was sighing and making a bitter expression.
Another subordinate came in.
“Guild leader!! “It’s urgent!!”
“ha… What is it again? “Have any remnants of the Triad appeared?”
“That’s not it!!”
While saying that, the subordinate looked at Park Seong-jin.
The doctor asked if it would be okay to disclose the information here.
“are you okay. say it.”
“This is a call from the American Blazer Guild a little while ago. It is said that there was a New Korea player who used his country’s warp gate in the depths. That means he has an S-class license… .”
“no way… !!”
“What is your identity?!!”
Before the man could finish speaking, Park Seong-jin and Yoo Ah-young shouted at the same time.
After a while.
Ayoung and Park Seongjin’s eyes opened wide at the name that came out of the man’s mouth.
* * *
Hong Kong.
A large number of reporters gathered at the exact location where the opening ceremony took place.
A friendly match for Asian players being broadcast around the world.
Reporters from all over the world were dispatched to witness the final stage.
Where their shutters were directed, there were association presidents with different expressions.
Some people were satisfied with their grades that were better than expected, while others maintained a poker face with acceptable grades.
Among them, there were some that particularly stood out.
The presidents of Hong Kong and Taiwan’s players’ associations looked sad after losing all of their country’s representatives.
And he was the president of the New Korea, China, and Japan Association, which competed fiercely until the last day.
Quiet sparks were flying as they stood together according to their rankings.
“It is indeed China. “This won’t be able to withstand the volume offensive.”
Masataka Kubota, the head of the Japan Association, said with an expression of regret.
Zhengzhi received those words with a kind smile.
“This is too much praise. “It’s hard to be happy because we lost two generals.”
“Still, it would have been difficult to achieve this result if it were not for the leadership of Chairman Zheng Zhi, who is called the hero of the continent.”
“A truly great country runs on its own even without brains.”
Remains in plain sight.
They are provoking each other by saying meaningful words.
Ji Jin-hee, who was quietly watching the scene, clicked her tongue inwardly.
‘You can’t believe you came all this way and started playing politics. ‘That’s not even funny.’
Either China, which obtained points illegally, or Japan, which knew about it but turned a blind eye.
A snake or a fox.
To Ji Jin-hee, it was the same golden beast.
A golden beast of the world that only waits for an opportunity to invade other countries.
Looking at these hypocritical people, a sigh came out of Ji Jin-hee’s mouth.
‘Kim Tae-hyun. If only that child had existed, we wouldn’t have had to see this… .’
Taehyun was no longer just an S-grade player or a national representative.
Among the prominent national power companies.
He put Shin Korea in the lead in a friendly match with just his strength.
Is that why?
While I was worried, I also hoped that Abyss would continue that performance.
I hoped to beat China and Japan and lead New Korea to victory.
‘no. What am I thinking now… .’
Ji Jin-hee shook her head as her thoughts continued to grow without her knowledge.
Taehyun is also a decent player registered with the association.
A man called the president of the association relies on such a child even though he cannot help him.
It was an unusual thought for him.
‘I don’t know if Deputy Director Ko is looking for the right person… .’
Along with Park Seong-jin, Ko Tae-wook is one of the most talented players in the association.
Now that he is a decent S-rank intermediate player, he will never return empty-handed.
‘please… May God protect that child.’
At that time, I was praying for Taehyun’s well-being to a god I didn’t even believe in.
The warp gate became noisy.
