Returner of the Colosseum

Episode 47 . Supernova (3)

‘How on earth?’

Every movement has a rhythm.

Even while fighting fiercely.

However, the force of the wall breaks that rhythm and enters.

It’s an attack that comes in off-beat.

That’s why I thought there would be no existence that could avoid this, at least in the lower leagues.

It seemed like it would be difficult to avoid even for me.

‘I didn’t avoid seeing it.’

You could tell by looking at Soho’s confused expression.

Right before the thunderbolt exploded, the guy hurriedly backed away like a person covered in something.

Apparently, thanks to the hunting instinct, which develops a sixth sense, it seems that it sensed that something was dangerous and avoided it.

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

‘It’s fortunate. If I had seen it and avoided it, I wouldn’t have even become an opponent in the first place.’

If so, it would be fight or mana.

It must mean that you are a level of skill that can play with me.

“after. I’m sorry, human. I guess that’s your last move. Arwen-sama was also defeated with it.”

“…”

“In this world, there is a level of race that cannot be surpassed. From now on, if I meet the Huin tribe, I will make them not even look at each other.”

Soho groaned – groaned – his fist made a bone sound and rushed at me.

The fierce battle started again.

‘One last sura…’

I’ve never thought of a thunderbolt as a final move.

Of course, it’s one of the skills he possesses, but he wasn’t foolish enough to rely on a 0.1% chance of being activated at any time.

In the first place, he did not even expect the thunderbolt to defeat him.

‘Cloak of silence.’

I instantly melted into the darkness and escaped his sight.

sniff- sniff-

But the cloak of silence didn’t work on him.

“There!”

He sniffed it and immediately began to swing his sharp claws in my direction.

‘Tsk.’

The Cloak of Silence blocks out sound, but doesn’t eliminate odors.

In short, it doesn’t work on beastmen like him.

‘A skill like dog crap.’

I had to admit it.

Cloak of Silence was the most trashy skill I picked.

Grinding my teeth, I lifted the cloak of silence.

After the interstellar battle is over, I’ll have to find out if there are any better skills.

“You’re using some trivial technique!”

When the stealth was released, Soho roared loudly and brandished his claws.

visor!

The thunderbolt in my spear and the mana in his claws collided, creating a small halo of light and disappearing.

The lights were so bright that the dark road was momentarily bright.

It seems that the brain doesn’t even work.

Cloak of Silence skill sucks.

As for the magic offset, Soho’s claws are so hard that even if you break his mana, there won’t be a single scratch.

In the end, there was no skill that worked for him.

‘It’s also a problem to run like a beast.’

Since he was a guy who moved according to his instincts, there were many different ways to attack.

His back was damp with cold sweat.

The nerves of the whole body were sharpened by the extreme tension.

‘There’s nothing new about it.’

I made up my mind.

Didn’t I always fight with beings stronger than me in the first round?

Back then, I didn’t have the right skills like I do now, but I survived in the end.

If you can’t do it physically, press down with technique.

‘Be calm again.’

Soho’s claws rushing in with great speed.

I focused on blocking his attacks.

‘Gap!’

While I was walking backwards for a while and blocking Soho’s attack, I saw a narrow gap.

It was a gap so small that I wouldn’t normally even look at it.

Because the gap is so small, it can’t do much damage.

However, I decided to lead the fight against Soho into a war of attrition.

That’s why that small gap was such a delicious prey for me.

squeak-

“joy.”

Thanks to entering through the gap, I was able to create a slight cut on Soho’s shoulder.

However, Soho swung his sharp nails as if he had no inspiration.

Then another gap emerges.

squeak-

This time, he was able to create a slight scar on Soho’s right side.

“You bastard! You run away well!”

This time, Soho acted rather boldly, as if he was not at all concerned about these wounds.

It seemed that he was thinking of narrowing the distance and somehow digging into my arms.

‘Then thank you for me.’

Puff- Puff- Puff-

I continued to swing the spear through the gap, which was significantly larger than before.

Little by little, small scars began to appear on Soho’s body.

One or two drops of blood oozing out of small wounds became too much to ignore.

If we continue to fight like this, he will die from excessive blood loss.

“…!”

The guy probably realized that too, so he didn’t rush recklessly any more.

Like me, he focused on defense and began to look for opportunities.

Then the aspect of the fight became very monotonous.

‘Whoa.’

I caught my breath and looked at the guy’s gaps.

A situation where you can no longer see a space to poke into.

From now on, I have to take the damage and fight.

Of course, if I just hold on in the current situation, I will be able to win.

Unless it’s just a physical problem.

[Remaining HP: 42%]

Due to the breath of thunder, the consumption of physical strength was very severe.

I’ll probably tire myself out first before he collapses from excessive blood loss.

‘Even if I take the damage, I have to somehow force the guy to do more damage.’

Roughly brushing off the sweat dripping from my forehead, I rushed at him first this time.

visor! Chae Chaeng!

The boring battle started again.

If there’s a difference from before, it’s that I’m intentionally exposing gaps in him.

To places that aren’t too dangerous.

“bloke!”

Then, as if snatching prey, Soho pierced the space and burrowed into me.

By using the space I intentionally created.

Our bodies momentarily overlapped and fell.

months-

Suddenly, I felt a warm feeling in my left side.

A quick glance revealed that the flesh had been torn into chunks.

Tring!

[A part of the body is severely damaged, and the physical strength is greatly reduced.]

[Remaining HP: 33%]

‘are you okay. The organs are not injured.’

I immediately checked Soho.

There was a large stab wound in an oblique line on the boy’s chest.

Blood started pouring from the cut chest.

‘I made a profit.’

The weight definitely leaned toward me.

Those wounds won’t last long.

“I thought you were a guy who knew what a struggle was! You coward!”

Soho ran at me again.

He seemed very impatient, probably feeling that his wound was unusual.

“If you are a true warrior, fight against me!”

Soho shouted in a frenzy.

But I just ignored whatever he said.

‘The one who survives is the strongest.’

Because I knew that reason so keenly.

If there’s one thing you’re worried about.

‘Please let your stamina endure until then.’

* * *

└ Oh, I lost my eyes. so f*cking boring

└ ㅇㅅ I expected a lot, but Ren, that ㅅㅅ doesn’t have fun.

└ hahahaha] anyway, the lower-class kids who only go to see the lower leagues don’t have eyes to see Can’t you see that high-level psychological warfare? lol

└To be honest, I’m watching with sweat on my hands. That kid named Ren will have a long run. In the way of ignorant physical shooting and pressing, it is a 3-second cut as soon as it rises to a higher league.

└ I really don’t understand. How did such a kid come out of Earth? Isn’t that a level of play that can be achieved by fighting once or twice?

└ There is no admission fee, so I will personally explain to the scumbags who watch lower leagues. Since Ren seems to be behind in stats in the first place, he plays mainly on defense, right? As soon as Soho realized it and his play style changed, Ren responded by countering it. Soho tried to take the big one while giving away the small one, so he didn’t eat it and found a smaller one and stabbed it, fighting cleverly. I really can’t help but praise this.

└ Ha ha ha ha Let it be. I don’t know anyway. If you like to hit and fight like them, what are you playing for? You just need to select only those with high stats and put them in the higher leagues hahahahaha

└ But it’s okay to look a bit lacking in stamina hahahaha It would be nice to supplement that.

* * *

Soho’s vitality was very persistent.

It’s been 10 minutes since I started bleeding profusely.

It only slowed down a bit, but it was still attacking me.

But that too is over.

“To the subject of this inferior race. dare!”

“Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.”

Attacks that are fiercer and more violent than ever before.

It seemed that he was determined to kill me with one blow, giving up defense altogether.

[Remaining HP: 18%]

The remaining physical strength was not much, so the eyes were blurry and the strength in the limbs was not properly entered.

That’s why I was being chased, but I was relieved to see Soho’s urgent appearance.

‘That guy is at his limit too.’

From now on, it is a battle of mental strength.

Either he dies first from excessive blood loss, or my whole body dies because my stamina runs out.

‘I will endure somehow.’

I made up my mind.

It was then.

Soho came towards me, blocking only the important parts such as the face and heart.

‘Gap!’

I thrust a spear into Soho’s exposed abdomen.

hooked!

My spear, impregnated with thunderbolt, pierced Soho’s stomach.

But Soho continued to fly towards me with his stomach pierced.

‘Have you come together?’

Sensing a sense of crisis, the guy took out a final move.

“I’m afraid I’ll die alone!”

Soho’s claws, imbued with magical power, surged toward my forehead.

I tried to block it somehow, but my spear stuck in Soho’s abdomen and didn’t move.

‘f*ck!’

I flinched reflexively.

Kwak!

Soho’s claws split the avenue where I stood.

I narrowly avoided his attack and immediately took out the spear I had prepared as a spare from my inventory and aimed it at him.

“I… I’m going to get tired of this wormy guy… Cool, cool.”

Soho staggers toward me with his whole body covered in blood.

The guy poured a handful of blood from his mouth.

“Never the next time we meet…”

dump-

Soho fell to the floor without finishing his words.

‘I won.’

For a moment, my concentration dropped, and my legs let go.

“Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.”

I sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

I won even though I was the worst opponent in terms of compatibility.

I.

I did it in the end.

Tring!

[Current number of survivors: 2]

[The 12th round of 6 matches has ended.]

[‘Ren’ wins!]

[After a while, the finals will begin. Please prepare.]

finally the finals.

It was only the last gateway left until Earth won 1 win.

I gasped and got up from my seat.

last one.

win somehow

[Recovers all statuses to 100%.]

[The 6 match finals begin.]

[Ren vs Gomyeong]

[The match starts in 3 seconds.]

The heart, which had been shaking as if it would burst at any moment, regained its original beat in an instant.

Due to the lack of oxygen, the spinning mind also became clear, and the appearance of the opponent could be seen.

‘That guy is my last opponent.’

The silk uniform fluttered, and the black she was holding shimmered in the moonlight.

[The match starts in 2 seconds.]

Plum blossoms are embroidered on his sleeves, and he is a very handsome man at a glance.

‘garnish.’

A direct disciple of the Volcano faction, one of the Gupa factions that Moorim boasts.

Twenty-four plum swordsmanship is used.

In between dazzling swordsmanship, plum blossom petals made of magical power flutter. It won’t be easy to avoid.

[The match starts in 1 second.]

Stats are top 3 in the lower leagues. Probably higher than Soho.

Like an orthodox player, the base is excellent and the defense is solid.

If you find a gap after defending, it’s a style from then on.

There are no weaknesses whatsoever.

‘That’s how it was written in the analysis table Aserian gave me.’

As in the finals, I faced a huge powerhouse.

[Start the match!]

But I wasn’t too worried.

Because I was very good at it.

‘Evil eyes.’

[Check the opponent’s abilities.]

[Name: Gomyeong]

[Alignment: Good]

[Muscle: 79(+?)] [Agility: 82(+?)] [Stamina: 69(+?)]

[Spirit: 71(+?)] [Intelligence: 19(+?)] [Magic Power: 78(+?)]

[Awakening Ability: ＜Advanced Swordsmanship＞ ＜Superlative Mana Management＞ ＜Superlative Life Skill＞ ＜Superior Fighting Art＞ ＜Intermediate Healing＞]

[Achievement privilege: New sword union day]

A stat that is so great that your eyes will open just by looking at it.

Even compared to the top league players right now, there was nothing to lose.

But I didn’t care too much about the famous stats.

‘I have an advantage in this match.’

Compatibility was really vague.

If Soho, whom I barely won, had to face Go Myung, I would have lost to Go Myung in nine out of ten cases.

No matter how strong Soho is, it’s not too much of a threat to opponents with higher stats than you.

‘But I’m different.’

For Soho, neither the cloak of silence, nor the god of thunder, nor the cancellation of magical powers were of any use, but it was not an old name.

It doesn’t have a sharp nose to see through the cloak of silence, nor hard claws to block thunderbolts.

Excellent swordsmanship skills.

only that one

‘I’ll show you why I’m trying to hold a variety of weapons in my hands.’

I used the Cloak of Silence as soon as the match started.
