Returner of the Colosseum

Episode

53 . Greatest Of All Time(3)

Upon entering the arena, I saw a huge circular dome stadium.

The ceiling alone was well over 50 meters tall.

The number of participants in the 10 games was 8,505.

Even so, the stadium looked empty.

Tuk-tuk-

‘This is… a barrier group.’

A barrier with a diameter of 1 meter was created around me.

It was made so that they could not move from their seats until the game started.

Looking around, players from various systems were trapped in barriers.

flinch!

Every time our eyes met, they startled and shuddered.

‘As soon as it starts, I’m going to receive a concentrated attack.’

Tring!

[From now on, 10 matches, we will start the battle against previous names.]

[There are a total of 11 names, including 10 players who passed the lower leagues with the most overwhelming performance and Ren, the winner of the one-on-one strongest match.]

‘what? My alter ego?’

Originally, there were only 10 people in the first round.

Including my alter ego, the winner of the one-on-one best match?

Why did the future suddenly change?

[The stats of the 11 named players are applied as the average of the participants.]

[Calculate average stats of 8,505 participants.]

[Muscle: 65] [Agility: 68] [Stamina: 65]

[Spirit: 54] [Intelligence: 42] [Magic Power: 53]

After hearing the explanation that followed, I knew what had happened.

‘The average stat is much lower than the first round.’

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect of existence, the average stats were drastically cut.

If that happens, the difficulty of attacking the named will decrease, so it seemed like I put my alter ego in there as well.

I calmly closed my eyes and waited for the game to start.

It didn’t matter anyway, since the status window would be visible even if I closed my eyes.

‘Only enormous monsters will appear.’

For example, Moorim’s ‘Moojingeom’, which is currently active in the Transcendence League.

Considering the abilities they had in their lifetime, even if their stats were low, the game would be balanced.

Because they had great stats and skills even before entering the Colosseum.

No matter how many people say there are 8,500 participants, it will be difficult to deal with 11 named players at the level of Arwen.

[Bifrost is created!]

Along with the notification window, a huge magic circle appeared in the center of the arena.

The magic circle gradually became brighter, and soon it emitted light in all directions, making it impossible to see.

The moment the light reaches its peak!

Shoot aaa

The light disappeared, and 11 names appeared in a circle.

I could see my alter ego in it.

‘Fight with me. I’m looking forward to it.’

[The match starts in 3 seconds.]

There will be a lot to gain from this game.

First of all, being able to see my movements objectively was a rare opportunity in itself.

I’ll keep an eye on my alter ego’s movements and look for things to improve or fix.

[The match starts in 2 seconds.]

If Westeros does not win 10 games, the district will automatically be crowned champion.

So I was planning on killing mostly Westeros players.

I refrain from confronting the named as much as possible.

Even for me, it was not easy to face them one-on-one and win.

There was a risk of losing it with a last hit.

[The match starts in 1 second.]

As there were 8,505 participants, it was clear that the named clones would eventually get tired in the second half.

It would be enough to hunt after the stamina of the clones has fallen.

Organizing my thoughts, I opened my closed eyes.

It’s time for the final game.

[Start the match!]

“It’s Ren! Kill Ren first!”

“Everyone from Westeros this way!”

“Kill from Westeros, not Ren! From Westeros!”

As soon as the barrier disappeared, the players screamed loudly.

A player in Westeros pointed at me and incited me to kill him first, but half the players listened and the other half didn’t.

Rather, there were even groups trying to kill Westeros.

“f*ck! I have to kill Ren first! If Earth wins, that monster gets stronger!”

“It is better for Earth to win than for Westeros to win! Kill everyone, starting with Westeros!”

‘Oh my. That’s a different story.’

It seemed that they were divided into two factions.

A group that wants Earth to win and a group that wants Westeros to win.

‘It’ll be enough to let go of the game this time.’

I immediately charged the Westerosman who had incited me to kill him.

“Let’s kill Ren first! Why is everyone…!”

Slow-!

sick bastard.

Do you know if the situation is the same as in the previous game?

visor! Chae Chaeng! Kwakwawang!

While I killed him, the other players got tangled up and a melee unfolded.

‘It’s sh*t.’

It wasn’t even a fuss, with weapons intertwining with each other and unknowingly stabbing an ally.

I slipped back and avoided the entanglement at the beginning, and raised my mana.

‘Let’s start with the enhanced bloody perks.’

Then he jumped into the place where the players were entangled.

Kwajijijijijik!

“Le, Ren!”

“damage!”

The players who recognized me drew their weapons and tried to separate from each other.

‘It’s already late.’

Awesome!

[You have killed player ‘Ruta’.]

[You have killed player ‘Watama’.]

[You have killed player ‘Andres’.]

[Kill player ‘Bennet’…]

I mainly wielded the spear among Westeros players.

If it wasn’t for me to wield a weapon, I didn’t bother killing other players in the system.

It was because he had to kill at least one more Westerosian during that time.

aaa!

A beam of light soared into the sky with a tremendous roar from a little distance away.

It was the impact that came out when the wall power exploded.

‘Looking at it like this, it’s terrifying.’

It felt like my alter ego was nearby.

If so, you should hurry up and turn on the bloody enhancement perk before we meet.

Fortunately, there are a lot of players entangled here, so it won’t take too long to reach 30 stacks.

Kwajijijijijik!

“Here is Ren!”

“Leave Ren alone and kill Westeros!”

At that time, players shouted in an unexpected place to announce my presence.

He must have mistaken my alter ego for me after seeing the thunderbolt.

‘I didn’t even think of this?’

Thanks to this, players who wanted to kill me flocked in the direction of my alter ego.

“Oh no! This is the real…!”

The Westeros players near me belatedly tried to let them know that I was real, but before that, they were choked by my spear.

[Current number of survivors: 7,702]

[Kill Count Status – None]

It’s only been 20 minutes since the game started, and 800 people have already died.

It’s because the fight has been unfolding all over the place from the beginning.

0 names have died so far.

That number will probably stay around for quite some time.

‘Because if you try to kill the named, another system will keep you in check.’

I just have to do my own thing.

Kwagwagwang! Kwakwawang! bang! Kwakwawang!

A huge shockwave erupted from one side of the arena.

On the other side, a rain of arrows rained down from the sky.

All of them were the majesty of the alter egos of Named.

‘It’s terrifying.’

Even though his stats must have been drastically reduced, his power was enormous, just like the top 10 names of all time.

It’s probably the ability most of them had in life.

‘These guys are going up to the high, transcendental league.’

It was when he was slaughtering the players of Westeros with such thoughts.

Weee!

‘omg!’

Frightened by the flying arrow, he lowered his head.

The arrow grazed through his hair, but unfortunately that wasn’t the end.

Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!

Seven arrows flying almost simultaneously.

The arrows flew aiming for a place that was difficult to block.

‘sh*t!’

I blew the body straight away.

Paba Baba Baba Park!

At the same time, arrows pierce the spot where I was standing.

There were no follow-up hits, perhaps thanks to the fact that she threw herself near the fighting players.

When I got up from my seat, five arrows were stuck in the bodies of the players I had used as cover.

‘whoever!’

When I turned my head in the direction the arrow was flying, I saw an alter ego shooting an arrow from a chin slightly dug into the outer wall of the arena.

Tring!

[The ＜Demon’s Eye＞ defends ‘Gojumong’s (alternate self)’s ＜God’s Eye＞.]

For a moment, I looked at him in amazement.

It seems that the name Gojumong also had the skill to peek at the status window when he was in a lower league.

That’s why that alter ego can use that skill as well.

The clone whose eyes met mine tilted its head and drew the bowstring.

‘Evil eyes.’

[Check the opponent’s abilities.]

[Name: Gojumong (alternate self)]

[Disposition: Moderate]

[Muscle: 75(+?)] [Agility: 78(+?)] [Stamina: 75(+?)]

[Spirit: 64(+?)] [Intelligence: 52(+?)] [Magic Power: 63(+?)]

[Awakening Abilities: ＜Shingung＞ ＜Supreme King＞ ＜Exclusive Living＞ ＜Special Foot Technique＞ ＜Special Mana Management＞ ＜Special Horseback Archery＞ ＜Advanced Box Fighting＞]

[Achievement privilege: Shrine]

‘f*ck.’

count dirty

Obviously, even though his stats were drastically cut, he had decent stats.

Like me, he must be wearing perks and items that increase his stats.

Go Jumong’s alter ego, like a name, knew exactly who to kill first even in this melee.

I would have killed the strong first.

‘Let’s ignore it.’

Paba Baba Baba Park!

I hurriedly distanced myself from him, avoiding the flying arrows.

Fortunately, he didn’t bother to pursue me.

“Ren is over here!”

“Kill Ren first!”

However, the problem was that the players recognized me and flocked to me.

Kwajijijijik!

I swung the spear with an emphasis on breaking through rather than killing them.

Tring! Tring! Tring!

‘I just need to hold on a little longer.’

It’s not long until the bloody enhancement perk turns on.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

Tring!

[You have killed player ‘Lotus’.]

[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.]

‘at las!’

Fully filled the bloody enhancement stack.

[Muscle: 81 (+5) (+30)] [Agility: 91 (+5) (+34)] [Stamina: 89 (+5) (+28)]

[Spirit: 138 (+46)] [Intelligence: 21 (+7)] [Magic: 114 (+5) (+36)]

Strength and agility increased by 65%, and physical strength, spirit, intelligence, and mana increased by 50% due to achievements, breath of thunder, and enhanced blood perks.

In terms of stats, he’s on the level of a thug.

Now there’s no penalty to kill in three minutes, I started slaughtering Westeros with ease.

It was then.

“wren! Let’s fight with me again!”

Soho, whom I met in the semifinals of the 6 games, stood in my way.

“I won’t fall for the same trick this time!”

He pulled out his claws and lunged at me.

‘Ha, I wanted to step on it someday.’

It just went well.

The bloody enhancement perk was just turned on.

I swung a spear at him.

Chae Ae-Aeng!

Then, Soho was pushed back for a while.

The boy’s face was full of shock.

“This… is this…?”

You’d be surprised.

When I fought before, I couldn’t use the enhancement of blood at all.

But now, my stats have increased by 30% compared to when I faced Soho.

He beat him even when his stats were low, but there was nothing to say now.

‘I’ll show you the overwhelming level difference.’

I jumped at Soho at once and swung the spear.

visor!

“A kitten.”

visor!

“In front of whom?”

visor!

“Do you keep raising your toenails?”

Chae Ae Ae!

Soho’s fingernails, which had cracked a little each time I hit him with the spear, broke off on the fourth attack.

It was truly a different kind of strength.

“Ugh, uh uh…”

Then Soho looked up at me with a devastated expression.

Overwhelmed by his stats, he didn’t dare to think of attacking.

Soho is a friendly tribe that is faithful to their instincts.

The presence of the country must have been deeply imprinted in the heart.

Next time we meet, you won’t even dare to fight me.

Awesome!

I cut off Soho’s head, who was still trembling.

His head rolled across the floor as if it were trembling in fear.

‘With this, I’ve paid off all the debts I had to pay in the interstellar battle.’

Having killed Soho, I glanced at the number of kills.

[Current number of survivors: 4,988]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Westeros’ 2 kills]

‘crazy!’

It’s still early, how?

In an instant, my head went cold.

Even though he killed close to 100 Westeros players, he ate 2 kills.

It seemed that Westeros had taken away the named alter ego that another system had been holding.

If not, a certain system is killing Westeros.

‘no. There’s little chance that they’re driving it.’

It would be much better for the other systems for Earth to win than for Westeros to win.

Anyway, in this state, it’s Westeros and I’m going to have to jump into the name hunt.

No matter how much we dry the seeds of Westeros, it will be useless if we decide the number one kill before that.

‘The timing isn’t bad.’

It was a time when the clones’ stamina was gradually declining.

In addition, I currently have overwhelming stats than anyone else due to the strengthening of blood.

From now on, even if you increase the number of kills, you should be able to catch up.

Is it specialized in hunting a small number of names?

Finding the named alter ego was not difficult.

bang! Kwagwagwang!

Places where huge shock waves explode.

There will be named alter egos there.

‘First of all…’

aaa!

The thunderbolt spread out in all directions, and a huge shockwave hit.

It just seemed like my alter ego was nearby.

I will kill my alter ego first.

If you have the same software, it will be obvious that the one with better hardware will have an advantage.

Kwajijijik-

“Ugh, back and forth, Ren!”

“sh*t! A monstrous bastard!”

Killing the players blocking me, I headed in the direction where the thunderbolt exploded.

Then, absorbing the red mist, I saw my alter ego moving toward me.

The alter ego, which had been brandishing a spear at the players, suddenly stopped and turned its head.

Our eyes met.

‘Kill as quickly as possible and the other alter ego…’

wait for a sec.

If the average stats were applied to all alter egos…

My alter ego would rather have gone up in basic stats, right?

for a long time too?

“…!”

For a moment, the back of my neck stiffened.

‘Evil eyes.’

[Check the opponent’s abilities.]

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (alter ego)]

[Disposition: Moderate]

[Strength: 112 (+?)] [Agility: 117 (+?)] [Stamina: 103 (+?)]

[Spirit: 86(+?)] [Intelligence: 68(+?)] [Magic Power: 85(+?)]

[Achievement Perk: Reverse Puncture]

The moment I saw the guy’s stats, I muttered a little.

‘f*ck.’
