1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 7 Episode 19

19. Hero Wars (2)

The bookkeeper did not think he would be able to beat Hoya himself.

Doban had a great influence on the poet’s thinking.

Over the past two years, the relationship with the doban has become narrower than before, and the bookworm meets with him once or twice a month to compete or have brief conversations with him.

And a week after Hoya’s streaming, the bookworm met Doban and heard a story from him.

“…are you serious?”

“Yeah. It’s just my feeling.”

“……”

The current self and you are similar to or weaker than Hoya 2 years ago.

It was the answer that Dovan came up with to the bookkeeper’s question about Hoya.

The esoteric, who had a good grasp of Doban, knew that if he had spoken, he would have been blurry and not a person to lie.

If he says so, then it really is.

But he didn’t mean to be defeated just because he did.

I didn’t know we would meet so early, but Ae-seo had been preparing for the situation she would face with Hoya in the Hero Wars.

Hoya is an all-rounder capable of both long-range and short-range attacks and has recovery and wide-area buffs.

For an all-rounder, there’s bound to be a gap, with only one ability being exceptional or below-average, but Hoya isn’t.

So, he was planning to attack him by using the compatibility between the attributes.

Yes, it’s ‘attack’, not ‘match’.

The fact that Hoya’s attribute is ice is a fact known to any player who has even the slightest interest in him.

The book of Psalms has the opposite fire attribute.

However, if a large glacier meets a candle, the glacier wins no matter how different the attributes are.

However, a month before the start of the 3rd Heroic War, he was able to obtain a spark bigger than a glacier.

He didn’t have it completely in his hands, though there were some restrictions and a cost.

“Leehwa-sama, lend me your strength.”

-Okay, I’ll take the price according to my contract with you instead.

[The divine beast phoenix ‘Leehwa’ answers your call by contract.][The contract with ‘Ewha’ is not complete, so a price is required to receive his help.][The value of 5 in the player’s overall stats will randomly decrease permanently.][Strength 1, Mana 3, Agility 1 have decreased.][I can’t fully borrow his power because the contract with ‘Leehwa’ is not complete.]

hey hey-!

At the songwriter’s call, a giant bird with a feather of flames flying behind his back appeared with a cry that filled the stadium.

The book was split here and there, and he was able to make a contract with Ewha by collecting clues that were hidden.

However, he didn’t have the perfect contract relationship with Hoya and Miho, so he wasn’t always with him, and it cost a lot of money to get help.

‘Fortunately, this time it’s mostly magic.’

So, so far, he has only received his help once.

Since even that had never been exposed to the outside, the spectators who saw the gigantic flame bird for the first time were enthusiastic about the huge spectacle that unfolded before their eyes.

Even if a feather flew towards the audience with the wind, he would flinch, knowing that he would be blocked by the transparent wall.

“Awesome… you’re going to see something like this.”

“It was worthwhile to buy an expensive ticket. It’s totally different from seeing it on a monitor!”

“Wow! Feather! Feather!”

And Hoya was also greatly surprised by the appearance of Lee Hwa.

Even though he covered his eyes with a mask, Hoya’s reaction to the outward appearance of Aeseoga realized that Lee Hwa’s presence worked for him and clenched his fists.

[The heat of the divine beast phoenix pours out,][I got ‘burned’ with an abnormal status.][Resisted due to the effect of the title ‘Resident of the End of the Land’.][The state is ‘dehydration’.][Resisted due to the effect of the title ‘Resident of the End of the Land’.]

⋮

At the same time as Lee Hwa was summoned, Hoya was judged to be an enemy and the heat poured out caused numerous system messages to Hoya.

Even if it was not a system message, the heat itself felt great.

‘If this is a normal player or monster, I don’t think it will be able to move well with abnormal status……’

Hoya thought so, avoiding the feathers flying towards him like arrows.

There was one thing I was worried about when I thought about it that way.

‘Oh, Sammy!’

Badu had not been summoned, so there was no need to worry.

Considering Miho’s strength, there was no need to worry.

The problem was Sammy.

Since she was a child of Miho, she was born with the same strength as her, but her Sammy was still relatively weak.

I couldn’t stand this heat.

Worried about Sammy, Hoya put her hand on the bag on her waist, and it felt as cold as ice.

“Get the heat right now.”

Then the bag opened and Miho appeared outside, growing her body and wrapping her tail around Hoya.

It was an action to protect Sammy, not Hoya, from the heat.

Because Hoya didn’t have to worry.

And at the same time as Sammy appeared, Lee Hwa immediately took off the heat and reduced her size.

“Kek……! Why is Auntie here?!”

When Miho appeared, Ehwa’s solemn image of the bird of flame disappeared out of nowhere, and the sheep in front of the wolf appeared.

“Madame?”

“Oh, no…, aunt… not you, but your sister. Why is your sister here?”

“This kid is the contractor I mentioned earlier.”

At the sight of Lee Hwa, who had become a gentle sheep, Aeseo was greatly surprised, yet embarrassed, and it was absurd.

For a moment, the little red sparrow sitting on his shoulder wondered if the powerful divine beast he summoned while consuming 5 stats was correct.

* * *

The match between Hoya and the bookworm suddenly felt like a battle between a monster and a monster, and Hoya was able to win the book from the bookworm.

Ewha, the new sage, who was the hidden card of the book of love, was like a child to Miho.

She felt something futile about it, but she had no complaints.

No, she was able to earn an unexpected profit from her match against Hoya.

Miho noticed that Lee Hwa was not making a proper contract with the bookworm and was being paid for lending power from him, and then forced Lee Hwa to sign a proper contract with the bookkeeper as a new beast.

Thanks to this, the relationship between the poet and Lee Hwa became that of Hoya and Miho.

Lee Hwa was always sitting on the shoulder of the bookkeeper in the form of a sparrow with red feathers, and there was no need to pay any more.

‘I’ll have to thank you later for this.’

“In the match against Kentaro and Seon Hoyoung, we lost 2-0 for the first time in the Hero Wars, and we couldn’t even win the championship.

With such thoughts in his mind, Kentaro Sakanashi, a sorority writer, broke his thoughts at the reporter’s question and drew an arc on the corner of his mouth.

“I’d be lying if I said no. But I don’t really care because I’ve gotten a lot from him this time. And winning is a team event.”

Confidence appeared in Kentaro’s eyes.

* * *

The main event schedule for Heroes’ Daejeon will be held for a total of 6 days, including the opening and closing ceremonies.

On the first day, the opening ceremony is held in the evening, on the second day there will be a round of 32 individual competition, and on the third day, a round of 32 team event will be held.

Also, on the 4th and 5th days, the rounds of 16 and 8 of the individual and team events are held, respectively. On the sixth day, the semi-finals and finals of the team and individual events are held.

And the finals of the Heroes’ Battle proceeded without any problems and greeted the 6th day.

Hoyoung, who finished the semifinals with a victory, was watching the monitor alone in the waiting room of the players waiting for the final.

On the monitor, the logos of the teams that will play the first match of the semi-finals of the team event were displayed.It was the logo of Red, the Japanese national team, and the experienced newbie, the Korean national team.

Red’s logo was stylishly designed, while the logo of a newbie with a career was like a child’s doodle drawn on a paintbrush with a mouse, so the contrast was impressive.

Like the team name, the logo was drawn by Choi Kang Nam.

Thanks to that, the experienced newbie team, representing Korea, was receiving a lot of attention in many ways because of the higher performance than in the last two hero battles and the strange logo.

-Then let’s start the first match of the team semi-finals!

As time passed, the commentator announced the start of the semi-finals and the first players appeared.

‘Seolyoung will lose.’

Seeing that, Ho-young thought so.

The team match will be played in a winning streak format with some unique rules added.

Therefore, if the game is short, it will be played at least five matches, and if it is long, it will last up to nine matches.

And Ho-Young was convinced that the first semi-final would end within five matches, unless there was a surprise.

The fact that the first player in Red came out as a lyricist was the reason why Ho-Young thought so.

* * *

“The Red Team has had a lyricist who is the leader from the beginning. This means that they have that much confidence.”

“Compared to that, experienced newbie… Big, ah, sorry for this. Even though it’s the last day of the Hero Battle, I’m not used to it. The first player in the experienced newbie team is Gangnam Firefist.”

“The fact that both of them use fire attribute skills is something to pay attention to in this match.”

As the commentators were expressing their opinions like that, Gangnam Firefist and Ae Seoga exchanged simple greetings.

“I didn’t know you were going to be the first. He’d say he’s as confident as he is, but he’s not going to be the way he thinks he is!”

“Is that so?”

At the words of Gangnam Fire Fist, the bookkeeper smiled softly.

While the two were chatting, the countdown was over and when the start signal sounded, Gangnam Fire Fist slammed the ground hard and ran towards the book.

‘You have to do as much damage as possible!’

Team matches are played in a winner-take-all format, but there is one rule that is different from usual.

That is, if the winner proceeds to the next match against the second opponent, the damage suffered during the match against the first opponent is applied as it is.

In other words, even if HP and MP are reduced, there is no recovery, and the cooldown time of the skill is maintained as it is, so it is impossible to do a quick battle with overuse of skills.

It’s the same with the book, I don’t know why he came out in the first order instead of the last, but Gangnam Fire Fist was going to take out his skills as much as possible.

If the bookkeeper does not use skills, his HP will be greatly reduced by that much.

“I’m going bang!”

However, such thoughts of Gangnam Fire Fist did not work for the writer.

The red sparrow, who was expected to have some restrictions as he sat still on the shoulder of the bookkeeper at the end of the match with Hoya, grew in size and showed the image of a large flame bird that he had shown for the first time.

There were restrictions.

But it had long since disappeared thanks to Hoya, to be more precise, thanks to Miho.
