Returner of the Colosseum

Chapter 51

Episode

51 . Greatest Of All Time(1)

Black Orcs were one head taller than normal Orcs.

Dark skin and an immensely muscular body.

Pointy fangs protruding from the mouth.

Even the huge ax and glaive that looked quite heavy.

It was a very strong race for the lower numbering players to deal with.

‘Not to me.’

Turning on the breath of thunder, I collided with the Black Orcs at the same speed as I was running.

Kwajijijijik!

It was the beginning of the hunt.

Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring! Tring!

I started tearing apart the Black Orcs and clearing the way.

The key is not to be surrounded by guys.

In order not to give back, you must continue to swing your spear and break through.

[Your HP is recovered by 1% with ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability.]

[Recovers 1% of HP with ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability.]

The kill call rang incessantly.

It wasn’t as difficult to clear the road as I thought.

Black Orcs are very strong, but their attack patterns were very monotonous.

‘The leather is a bit tough.’

After learning the god of thunder and being able to put thunderbolts in a spear, it wasn’t that difficult to cut something.

It was because the tremendous heat of the thunderbolt softened the tough leather.

Even so, when he slashed the Black Orcs, he felt a pop, pop.

But that feeling didn’t last long.

As blood reinforcement stacks piled up and strength increased, it became possible to slash them all at once.

“Chwiiik! Warriors! Cheer up! Chwiik!”

“Intruder, Chwiik! Kill!”

Every time he swung his spear, three or four black orcs fell.

However, the number showed no signs of decreasing.

‘I have to go through the center like this.’

My hunting speed got faster and faster.

Tring!

[Your HP is recovered by 1% with ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability.]

[All stats increase by 1% with ＜Blood Reinforcement＞ ability. (30/30)]

[You have reached the end of the stats that can be raised with ＜Enhancement of Blood＞.]

[Stats increased by ＜Enhancement of Blood＞ are maintained for 30 minutes.]

It wasn’t long before the battle with the Black Orcs started, but the bloody enhancement perk was already turned on.

My spear became sharper and stronger.

Tring!

[＜Thunderbolt＞ is activated.]

The thunderbolt in the spear was so bright that the entire world seemed dark for an instant.

Truly inexhaustible energy.

When he hit the spear with all his might, shockwaves were emitted and thunderbolts spread out in all directions.

aaa!

A tremendous roar erupted and nearly ten black orcs exploded to death.

My current stamina is 100%.

The rate of refilling was faster than the rate of consumption, so there was no need to worry about physical strength.

‘I’m a few kilometers away.’

[Time remaining until end of match: 11:33:48]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Gomyeong’ 193 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Goyecheon’ 190 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Gaen’ 189 kills]

[4th place. ‘Ludin’ 188 kills]

[5th place. ‘Migurd’ 186 kills]

[6th place. ‘Enkidu’ ······.]

[#317. ‘Ren’ 42 kills]

‘I’ve already caught a lot of them.’

Several times more kills than me.

Even the No. 1 Gomyeong hunted 151 more than me.

They are being driven by the system unit.

drive?

It is also one of the strategies to win the game.

‘I expected this much.’

9 games already.

A situation where whether or not you get one win here will determine whether you win the championship.

All the stars had no choice but to grit their teeth and run.

‘Okay, let’s try to see who wins.’

I swung the spear even harder.

* * *

Go Myung, who participated in 9 games, was the first to visit the outskirts of the Black Oak area to find the Murim people.

Having already dealt with a Black Orc once before, he knew how to hunt quickly.

‘It’s more efficient to form a team to hunt Black Orcs that live in groups.’

With 493 people participating, it was not difficult to find the Murim people.

“It’s been a while, Go So-hyeop.”

“Oh, I never thought we’d meet in a place like this.”

“Long time no see.”

When he was active in Moorim, he met the later political faction exponents he had a relationship with.

“Dang Sojeo, Paeng Sohyup. long time no see. Sochang. Long time no see. Where were you going?”

“Doesn’t this game bring victory in the system of the person who hunted the most? So I thought of gathering the Murim people and driving them to one person. So, I thought we’d give you a kill count.”

Go Myung was delighted at the words of Ak So-chang, whom he had always known.

“Oh, you were thinking the same thing as me. We have to take this game somehow. I will do my best.”

Since all three of them were famous as masters in Moorim, Go Myeong immediately accepted Ak So-chang’s offer.

The black orc hunt began like that.

“Chwiik!”

squeak-

“There are three guys who will die if you stick a knife in here!”

“Thank you, Dang Sojeo. Thanks to that, I was able to increase my kill count quickly.”

Gomyeong glanced at the number of kills and said.

His current ranking is number 1.

It’s not much different from the 2nd place, but I didn’t worry too much.

As time goes by, the number of Moorim people joining is increasing.

The newcomers also decided to drive the number of kills to themselves.

In this match, Moorim will take the victory if there are no major incidents.

‘Looks like he’s being held in check this time too.’

Ren, who Komyeong was most wary of, ranked 317th.

I only did 42 kills in 30 minutes.

So I became more confident.

“I think we should speed things up a bit. The number of Jolbon-named guys hunting is increasing rapidly.”

Everyone nodded their heads at Gomyeong’s words.

“Now that you’re used to it, I think you can go inside.”

From then on, the four of them moved towards the center of the forest.

The number of black orcs increased exponentially as we went inside, but there was no great difficulty.

It was because every time plum blossoms flew, daggers flew, and long swords and spears danced once, so many black orcs quickly fell to the ground.

It was when they were hunting for about an hour.

“Go Sohyup, look at the ranking window.”

At the words of Tang Soyou, Gao Ming opened the ranking window.

[Time remaining until end of match: 10:27:52]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Gomyeong’ 656 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Goyecheon’ 638 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Ludin’ 624 kills]

[4th place. ‘Enkidu’ 615 kills]

[5th place. ‘Gaen’ 611 kills]

[6th place. ‘Ren’ 601 kills]

[7th place. ‘Migurd’ ·······.]

‘when······!’

Ren, who was at the bottom of the leaderboard, had risen to 6th place before he knew it.

While he had 463 kills, Ren added a whopping 559 kills.

‘wren.’

The one who made himself feel the wall in the one-on-one final.

Even though he was obviously stronger and faster, there was no way he could use his hands.

Thinking of him, the hand holding the sword became stronger.

“I guess I need to speed it up more. At this rate, this Gyeonggi-do district will lose it.”

From then on, Gomyeong’s party hunted more fiercely.

If it started with about 10 at first, now it’s 20, no, it’s 30 at a time.

Thanks to this, the number of famous kills increased quickly, but there was a problem.

“Go small! It’s too fast!”

“Hey, garnish! Stay calm. Haven’t you been hunting for three hours without resting? If we continue to hunt here unreasonably, everyone will be in danger.”

As the number of Black Orcs he faced at once increased, his stamina was quickly consumed.

Eventually, Ak So-chang and Dang So-yu dissuaded him, so he had no choice but to take a break.

[Time remaining until the end of the match: 08:41:17]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Gomyeong’ 1,628 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Goyecheon’ 1,467 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Ren’ 1,461 kills]

[4th place. ‘Gaen’ 1,450 kills]

[5th place. ‘Enkidu’ 615 kills]

[6th place. ‘Migurd’ ·······.]

Thanks to the efforts of other Moorim people such as Dang So-yu, Paeng Mu-jin, and Ak So-chang, the garnish solidified the top spot in terms of kills.

Even so, the number of kills with Ren was rapidly decreasing.

Ren’s kill count, which went up quickly in real time, made Gomyeong sensitive.

“Hey, you’re still paying attention. He’ll need a break anyway, just like we do. So don’t be in too much of a hurry.”

When Gomyeong’s eyes didn’t want to fall from the ranking window, Aksochang stopped him.

“You are right. I was overreacting.”

The old man sighed.

Others in the rankings seemed to be starting to take a break as well, seeing as their kill numbers weren’t increasing as quickly.

If that’s the case, the guy’s stamina will gradually drop.

However, things did not go as expected.

While other rankers’ hunting speed slowed down, Ren was still rising rapidly.

In the end, after about an hour, Ren reversed the number of kills of the garnish and recaptured the first place.

“Isn’t that guy even resting? How can you do that so quickly…”

Go Myung hardened his heart at Ak So Chang’s muttering.

Like the 8th match, I thought this match would be a check on him from another star system.

So I wasn’t too worried.

It seemed like we had to deal with him.

“To stop a raging dragon, you have to cut the head. Let’s go kill him.”

“Um… I agree with the opinion of the small agreement.”

“I can’t keep being dragged around like this. I agree too.”

Fortunately, Peng Mujin and Tang Soyou agreed with him.

Then Aksochang seemed to be thinking for a while and then nodded.

“For the people here, it would be possible to kill him. But how can I find him in this vast forest?”

It was Tang Soyou who answered Ak Sochang’s question.

“There is only one place where you can hunt quickly without being checked. Right in the heart of the forest.”

“But Sojeo, those strange creatures will swarm in the center. Going there alone would be suicidal. Could it be that he went to the center?”

“What if you teamed up like we did? No matter how weak the earthlings are, wouldn’t it be possible if they united too? A person named Ren will clear the way anyway, so the rest should just block the back.”

Go Myung nodded at Dang Soyou’s words.

“I think Ren is in the middle. No matter how fast the hunting speed is, it would be useless if there is no prey. Everyone has agreed, so let’s move right there.”

From then on, the penetration into the center of the forest, led by Go Myung, began.

It was difficult to penetrate as the number of Black Orcs increased as we went inside, but at some point, the number of mobs blocking it decreased significantly.

[Time remaining until the end of the match: 06:13:05]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Ren’ 4,864 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Gomyeong’ 3,876 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Gaen’ 3,458 kills]

[4th place. ‘Goyecheon’ 3,304 kills]

[5th place. ‘Enkidu’ 2,987 kills]

And the number of kills with Ren was so wide that it was impossible to catch up.

Gomyeong shuddered at the overwhelming speed.

Because most of that staggering number of kills is done by just one person.

‘We must stop him from hunting…!’

Thanks to the reduced number of Black Orcs blocking the road, Go Myung and his party were able to quickly reach the center of the forest.
