Returner of the Colosseum

Episode 49 . Hell (1)

[7 games. Survive in Hell]

[Start the match!]

[The map changes after 03:00:00.]

[Current number of survivors: 5,837]

‘It’s worse than I imagined.’

Hell is a map that only appears in co-main event or higher matches, even in higher leagues.

So it was the first time for me to experience hell myself.

It seemed to know why the earth with advanced science and technology was still unable to conquer Antarctica.

It is not the land that was originally created for life.

It was the same with Niflheim.

‘The northern ice kingdom won’t even show me a business card.’

I had experienced a similar map in the first playthrough, but the prerequisites were wrong.

It is a map where people can live.

‘This is not a place for people to live.’

Of course, there must be many guys who can withstand the cold of Niflheim.

Most of the people who have come this far are superhumans who deviate from the existing laws of physics.

Since you can even use magical power there, even if you don’t have cold protection items, there’s a high chance that you’ll survive for a while.

‘Well, although the premise is that if the match is held only in Niflheim.’

The problem is that the maps alternate between Niflheim and Muspelheim.

It’s not accurate, but the felt temperature in Niflheim is about 60 degrees below zero.

I only felt it for a second, but it felt like my limbs were falling off.

It was really biting cold.

But after barely adapting to the cold, the map suddenly turns into Muspelheim filled with tremendous heat?

nothing to see

Everyone will die from extreme temperature changes.

‘Perhaps after that time… huh?’

[The map changes after 02:49:57.]

[Current number of survivors: 5,397]

10 minutes after the start of game 7.

Even in that short time, close to 500 people had already been reduced.

‘It’s a crazy death rate.’

I shook my head and moved on.

He planned to use this opportunity to get a good idea of how Niflheim was going.

It’s a map you’ll meet someday when you go up to a higher league.

Woo woo woo woo!

A strong wind that gives you goosebumps just by hearing it.

The robe fluttered as if it were going to explode at any moment.

Even waking up in a huge snowstorm is not an easy situation.

‘Tsk. It won’t be easy to scout.’

Even though the moon’s echo blocked the outside temperature, it was very difficult to take a step.

Because of the fluttering snow, it was impossible to see an inch ahead, so other players were also in trouble.

‘Release the breath of thunder.’

I immediately turned off the breath of thunder.

It was obvious that everyone was struggling to survive in the extreme cold.

In such a situation, there was no need to turn on Breath of Thunder, which consumed a lot of stamina.

‘Let’s start hunting.’

I took a step at once.

It was then.

I felt something moving about 100 meters ahead of the magic field.

‘I wouldn’t have released the demons of hell.’

Hell is definitely a map where the top players in the top leagues play.

Demons who live in such a cold land?

Of course it will be incredibly strong.

There won’t be many chances to send such monsters out of lower league matches.

Because you won’t even be an opponent.

‘The key was adapting to the rapidly changing weather in the first playthrough.’

If so, the conclusion had to come to one.

The existence in front of me is the player.

I hurriedly moved in the direction I felt the enemy.

Puff- Puff- Puff-

My feet were sinking in the knee-deep snow.

‘The player was right.’

The opponent was wearing a thick leather fur suit and was building a small den to escape the cold by collecting snowballs around him.

It felt like an igloo where Eskimos live in the Arctic.

It was very useless from my point of view, knowing that the map would change to Muspelheim after a while.

Woo woo woo woo!

There was no need to wear the cloak of silence.

Even though I got right behind him, he didn’t recognize me.

The snowflakes scattered in the sharp wind are blocking his five senses.

hooked!

Thanks to that, I was able to easily walk up behind him and insert a spear into his neck.

Tring!

[You have killed player ‘Grylls’.]

His blood splattered and the white space turned red.

It was such an easy hunt.

‘It looks like the map isn’t as wide as I thought.’

I could feel the presence of other players everywhere.

Killing them shouldn’t be too difficult in this environment.

‘There are many prey.’

I took a light step towards them.

[The map changes after 00:37:22.]

[Current number of survivors: 4,021]

After that, I went around hunting players for a while.

I can’t remember how many I killed.

After killing over 100 people, I gave up counting.

Killing a lot doesn’t mean you get a bonus anyway.

‘The survival rate is higher than expected.’

Considering that 500 people died in the first 15 minutes, the two hours that followed were almost unchanged.

But even that was short-lived.

The moment the map changes to Muspelheim, it will shrink at a tremendous speed.

* * *

The owner of Team ‘Indomitable’, Ludiac.

He was busy watching the Star Wars.

―Oh, Ren is showing an outstanding performance in this match as well.

―That’s really great. Depending on the environment, isn’t it common for the names to fall down without showing their skills? On the other hand, Ren doesn’t seem to have many ups and downs.

―The more I look at him, the more amazing he is. Compared to other names, his stats are a bit low, but he has numerous abilities that make up for his weaknesses. Yes, the moment I speak, Ren kills Garcia and goes on his 127th kill.

‘It was great!’

At Ren’s performance, Ludiac clenched his fists.

The current team ‘Indomitable’ was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was because all the top league players, the main pillars of the team, had all died in the High Blood Knight 91 match that had been played a few weeks ago.

‘I’m crazy.’

Why the hell did that happen?

A situation in which a player within the team received a promotion shot in the higher leagues.

As it was originally, it was still lacking, so I had to develop it a little more and challenge the high league.

But greed was the problem.

‘A team that produced high-level league players.’

Because I really wanted that title.

So, while taking point loans, they grabbed extremely expensive equipment and drove them to the arena.

The result is a catastrophic failure.

The team came to the verge of bankruptcy as they lost key players and at the same time incurred huge debts of points.

‘please······! I’ll do anything, please just let me win!’

There weren’t many choices that Ludiac could make.

Aim for a jackpot or go bankrupt by betting a few points on the Earth in the interstellar battle.

Even if I didn’t win anyway, I had nothing to lose.

Because that was the worst thing ever.

‘Was it a vain dream?’

However, the district showed a very disappointing appearance by dying until the 5th game.

So I gave up my expectations and was worried about the bleak future that would happen in the future.

But a miracle happened.

―A confrontation between swords and spirit magic. But the main character was different.

-A battle between stars. A new star is born in it.

– They said there was nothing to eat at the rumored feast. uh huh why are you out there

Ren, a player who took a splendid flight by defeating Arwen.

I wondered where he was from in all the posts, but I thought he had risen to a higher league because he didn’t show up until the 5th game.

[earth]

That name first appeared in game 6, because the word Earth was written above his head.

Earth’s victory no one expected.

A whopping 1,000x dividend rate.

A player who will break through that 0.1% chance and give himself a jackpot.

It was the reason Ludiac had no choice but to cheer Ren desperately.

―Ren kills Villard, one of Tirnernog’s named!

―Ren in a state of disarray! Who said Renbogo was lucky enough to get to this position! I want to pluck out my eyeballs and wash them in Mimir’s fountain!

From noble mtl dot com

Just in time, Ren was killing Villard of Tirnernog, who was called the Archmage.

Red thunderbolts flowed from his body, and whenever he slaughtered players, red mist was absorbed into his body.

The visual effect made Ren look even more special.

Truly overwhelming strength.

―Actually, Ren has already proven his skills once. Right in the one-on-one battle with the strongest. Even so, there were many people who doubted his skills, but this match proved it.

―Of course, I am a bit cautious about mentioning GOAT. I think Ren’s alter ego will not be included even in the battle against the previous names in 10 matches. It’s only been 4 years since the Colosseum started, but even so, there are many names who have gone through lower leagues in the meantime. Well, Game Maker has yet to confirm how many names will be participating.

―But it seems difficult to deny that he is currently the strongest player in the lower league. No matter what anyone says, Ren is now sure to be the strongest player in the lower league… Uh, the moment he speaks, the high elf, Gaen, moves towards Ren!

―That top-notch spirit is originally the one Arwen took with him. It seems that Arwen made a contract with Gaen when he died.

―Not only Gaen, but seven more elves are heading to where Ren is! The movement is very light, perhaps thanks to the spirit’s power! Ren’s Crisis!

For a moment, Ludiac’s body flinched.

As the commentators said, Gaen and seven elves were running toward Ren.

‘no!’

They wouldn’t be approaching Ren to promote friendship.

It was obviously to get revenge for killing Arwen.

Elves originally had a strong bond among their own kind.

In addition, Arwen was the guardian of the elves.

He will definitely avenge Ren’s blood.

‘It’s something that the highest-ranking spirit planned.’

Whether he knew they were heading or not, Ren was preoccupied with hunting other players around him.

Ludiac’s heart thumped.

If you get one win here, you have a better chance of winning.

The next match will not be easy for Ren, who is from Earth.

Although all 8 and 9 matches are claiming to be individual PvP, it is obvious that they will eventually unite as a star system.

‘please······!’

That’s why Ludiac had no choice but to hope that Ren would get through this crisis safely.

“ぅ!”

I sighed and stepped on the body of the fallen guy and pulled out the spear.

After staying there for almost three hours, he seemed to have adapted to Niflheim to some extent.

I wonder if the blizzard doesn’t bother me anymore.

The progress was smooth, and the hunting was done well and effortlessly.

But something bothered me.

‘what?’

Because it felt familiar somewhere.

To put it bluntly, it was the subtle sensation I felt when running away from Arwen.

It feels like someone is looking at me.

Woo woo woo!

Of course, that gaze was quickly erased by the blowing wind, but the anxiety did not go away.

So he stopped hunting and was vigilant of his surroundings on the spot.

‘My prediction was correct.’

8 players who just happened to be caught in my magic field.

The guys were running straight towards me.

surrounded by it from all sides.

‘Is it revenge?’

From noble mtl dot com

Judging by the shape of their ears longer than humans, they must be elves.

And there is only one reason why they run towards me.

To avenge Arwen.

‘It might have been a bit difficult in other circumstances.’

I chuckled.

Rather, I was grateful that they were approaching me at this moment.

If it had been faster, it could have been a bit more difficult.

Weee!

There was the sound of something flying through the air.

It was icicle-shaped pointed ice magic.

Kwajik! Kwajijik!

Without avoiding it, I swung the spear that contained the thunderbolt.

After getting Magical Offset, he didn’t bother avoiding magic attacks.

Kwaji support!

The magic that hit the thunderbolts protruding in all directions melted and disintegrated in the air, and scattered as small water droplets.

As soon as they melted from the ice, they immediately hardened into small grains of ice and pounded on my body.

‘I must have sharpened the knife.’

The eyes of the elves who appeared through the blizzard were filled with miasma.

A situation surrounded by eight elves in an instant.

It won’t be easy to get out in either direction, but I had plenty of room.

because.

[The map changes after 00:00:04.]

After a while, the horrors of hell will blow upon this world.

The fur clothes worn to ward off the cold will soon become shackles that hold them back.

‘Let’s see if you guys are all right there.’

I smiled at the guys.

Tring!

[You have entered Muspelheim.]

In an instant, my body hooked! I felt like I was being sucked into somewhere.
