Returner of the Colosseum

Episode 60 . Promotion Match (3)

―A supernova appeared in the lower leagues! His last game in the lower leagues is about to begin.

―The only name on Earth. Maybe we’ll see it in the higher leagues in a little while.

―A huge monster is coming to the main event of Blood Knight 207. The game type is a team PvM mission!

The morning after accepting the offer from Aserian.

The community was flooded with posts related to me.

I didn’t even play the game, and just the fact that I was playing resulted in a huge number of posts.

‘I’ve put a stamp on the audience properly.’

Originally, when a named game is caught, related posts are posted.

It was the same in the Dawn of Blood match, in which Arwen participated.

The difference is that there were only four or five at the time, but now there are hundreds.

The response in the comments was also explosive.

└Bulna 207 seems like the game maker did a good job. It’s better to sell Ren when he gets a reaction than to leave him in the lower leagues for as long as possible. Definitely watch this match.

└ Anyone looking for a way to capture Ren? I’ve replayed it hundreds of times, but it’s not easy to analyze.

└ Ha ha ha ha ha I never thought the day would come when I live and wait for a lower league match ha ha

└ Renny Yiyim! I was waiting! I’ll put in a lot of sub missions~♡

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just looking at the comments above, this bastard made a big hit in the Seong-gye competition ㅋㅋ

└ I’m already looking forward to what kind of sub mission I’m going to do hahahaha

└f*ck… I should have thought of just throwing it and put it on the earth for a little bit… It’s really a shame.

Among them, there were some notable comments.

‘oh. They say they’ll give you a sub mission?’

It must have been one of the gods who hit the jackpot by betting on Earth in this interstellar battle.

It was very disappointing that players were not allowed to bet, but thanks to that, I might be able to earn a lot of points.

‘Nothing special.’

I was hoping that I would be able to get other information about the game, but all the posts and comments were focused on my participation.

In the end, not getting any information about the game, I closed the community and entered the brokerage exchange.

The next thing to do is find a skill that can replace the cloak of silence.

The skill called stealth was underused, and it seemed that the synergy with other skills did not match.

‘Now that I’m so strong, there are fewer situations where I need to use stealth.’

On top of that, he was very annoyed because his stealth was constantly being discovered by his opponent during the Star Wars.

So, I thought of using this opportunity to replace it with more useful skills like Thunder God, Breath of Thunder, and Magical Offset.

‘Ha, nothing useful.’

But no matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t find any good skills.

Skills that are highly usable don’t go to the market, and you usually learn them yourself.

However, it is impossible to keep looking for skills by constantly nunting.

It felt like I had no choice but to ask Aserian.

If it were her, she would find a skill that synergizes well with me.

Then, there was only one thing left to do before entering the game.

‘Raising the stats to the maximum.’

I closed the system window and closed my eyes.

“Are you saying you want to help me with my training?”

“yes. An Woo-jin, what do you think is your weakness?”

I tilted my head at Aserian’s question.

My weakness is something I also think about whenever I have time.

But right now, my evaluation was that there were no weaknesses to be noted.

“Do you have any weaknesses?”

“Yes. That is a very fatal weakness.”

However, I couldn’t help but be startled by Aserian’s words that followed.

Because she was so confident.

“What is that weakness?”

“The basic stats are too low.”

But at her next words, I let out a sigh of relief.

The low stat is the part I admit.

But I had a variety of weapons that could cover that weakness.

“I can’t call that a weakness. If you turn on the skill and the dimensional perks obtained this time…”

“What if a situation comes where you can’t use that skill? What would you do if a moment came when you couldn’t use the items you had? Can you be sure that will not happen in the Colosseum?”

“…”

I couldn’t answer any of her questions.

Because I felt like I was stabbed in the back.

There are really various skills in the Colosseum.

Just looking at the shadow marks I got this time, it was a skill that made things possible that I had never thought of.

If so, there must be a skill that can create the situation she talked about.

Seeing my surprised look, Aserian peeked and laughed.

“Of course, what I said is a rather extreme assumption. But you can’t deny it, can you?”

“······yes.”

“You don’t know how surprised I was at this time of the Star Wars. I thought Ahn Woo-jin was just strong, but when I looked at the average stats of the players, I realized I was overlooking it. So I will help you whenever I train in the future.”

“How do you mean help?”

At my question, Aserian smiled broadly.

“hehehe, you can see it.”

uh.

how to say

It’s definitely the same smile as usual.

I don’t know why, but it was a very wicked smile.

“Turn it off!”

“There is one last one left! little bit more!”

“Turn it off!”

“stop! You have worked hard!”

At Aserian’s words, I dropped the 1-ton barbell I was holding onto the floor.

Then thump! The floor of the gym rang with the sound.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok.”

It takes about a minute to catch your breath with your whole body covered in sweat.

After completing 3 sets of 100 squats as planned in advance, I hurriedly moved on.

Even if you collapse, you must collapse in the rest room.

It was time to get out of the gym.

snap!

“…?”

“Seeing that you’re still walkable, can you do one more set?”

Aserian grabbed my arm and pulled me in front of a barbell weighing a ton.

“wait a minute. Heo-eok, do you mean one set, heo-eok, more?”

“yes!”

[Remaining HP: 22%]

At Aserian’s words, I shook my hands.

I’m shaking even when I walk because I don’t have strength in my legs, do one more set?

The remaining stamina was absolutely impossible.

“It’s not possible. Heo-eok, it’s already at its limit.”

“Then let’s just do it until we do! Ah, don’t worry! If you pass out, I’ll take you to the rest room.”

Aserian lifted the barbell without waiting for my answer.

Then, he reluctantly placed it on my shoulder.

“Uh, uh.”

I couldn’t even speak properly because of the tremendous weight I felt at the moment.

really?

do more of this?

Right before collapsing?

I sent such a silent look to Aserian, but she only smiled broadly.

“Let’s do it step by step! Come on, one! Ugh, you should go down!”

She pressed me hard on my shoulder.

sh*t.

That’s what it meant to help.

I had no choice but to bend my lower body in line with her gestures.

The 4th set started again like that.

thud!

I gritted my teeth and added 30 more, but it was impossible.

I threw the barbell and fell to the floor.

“Keuhuk, more, no more, heouk, it’s impossible now.”

My eyes spun around.

Maybe it was because I really pushed it to the limit, but my whole body didn’t have strength.

It was when I was about to pass out with my eyes closed.

Sreureung- Kung! Sreureung- Kung!

I heard the weight plate on the barbell being removed from the side.

It seemed like I was organizing the tools I used.

‘I’ll throw it into the rest room first.’

In this situation, every second is precious.

It was a time when he felt sorry for Aserian’s sense.

“wake up. I subtracted 100 kg on each side and now it is 800 kg.”

“…!”

At Aserian’s whisper, I opened my eyes.

what?

Wasn’t that the end of training?

“Oh, can you not? You must overcome your weaknesses.”

“…”

“You can do it. Oh my, I still have a lot of energy. Watch him wake up.”

I had no choice but to blindly follow Aserian’s hand that forced me to stand up.

sh*t.

In her eyes, I could see a strong tenacity that I would somehow fill the remaining number.

It might be better to finish the 4 sets quickly and rest comfortably.

In the end, I gave up and bent my lower body holding the barbell.

“Turn it off!”

After that, thanks to the continued weight loss, I was able to finish the 4th set safely and passed out right away.

His remaining health was 9%.

Before I knew it, four weeks had passed.

It felt like four weeks had never felt so long since entering the Colosseum.

The hell training with Aserian ends today.

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: Ren)] [Affiliation: Team Fighting Spirit]

[League: Lower League]

[Muscle: 56] [Agility: 60] [Stamina: 61]

[Spirit: 94] [Intelligence: 14] [Magic Power: 73]

[Awakening Ability: ＜Super Sense＞ ＜Super Spearmanship＞ ＜Advanced Living＞ ＜Super Mana Management＞ ＜Superior Swordsmanship＞ ＜Superior Daggersmanship＞ ＜Superlative Throwing＞ ＜Intermediate Boxing Technique＞ ＜Intermediate Healing＞ ＜Advanced Archery＞ ＜Superior Swordsmanship Sake＞ ＜Superlative Whip＞ ＜Intermediate Blunt Technique＞]

[Skills (5/5): ＜Cloak of Silence＞ ＜Thunder God＞ ＜Breath of Thunder＞ ＜Magical Offset＞ ＜Shadow Mark＞]

[Achievement Perks: None] [Dimension Perks: None] [Race Perks: None]

‘It went up like crazy.’

In the meantime, strength increased by 10, agility by 8, and physical strength by 5.

It was thanks to wearing the curse set and squeezing it to the limit.

It wouldn’t have been possible to raise it this fast if Aserian hadn’t driven me from the side.

what.

Although there was a downside to wishing that the next day hadn’t come.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s good. There must have been no hell training today, I must have raised my stats a lot, I am full of confidence.”

“I am happy that the results are good. I will continue to be dedicated to helping you in the future.”

At Aserian’s words, I burst out laughing.

It was one of the most terrifying words I’ve heard lately.

4 weeks of training with her.

There wasn’t a single day that I didn’t pass out.

“From now on, every day will be a series of fainting.”

“Looking at other people, they couldn’t do it until they passed out even if they were ordered to. So I was a bit surprised.”

While Aserian trained me, he also trained the other four in the same way.

But no one has done it like me.

It could be said that it was a training method that could not be done unless the mental stat was high.

Tring!

[Lower League – Blood Knight 207 co-main event match has ended.]

[The main event match will start in a moment, so please get ready.]

From noble mtl dot com

Just in time, a gate was formed in the vacant lot with a notification window.

As usual, it was time to bow lightly to Aserian and walk toward the gate.

“today.”

“…?”

“The first higher league player will come out of our team, right?”

Turning around at her question, I saw Aserian smiling brightly.

Seeing that, I smiled lightly for the first time in a long time.

“I think you can prepare a party.”

Then, flapping her robe, she entered the gate.

Tring!

[Recovers all statuses to 100%.]

When I passed through the gate, I saw a huge number of people.

Beyond them, they could see the walls surrounding them on all sides, but in places they had collapsed.

It was as if a large-scale battle had just been fought.

Nine more players appeared beside me.

“Oh oh! God! God answered our prayers!”

“A warrior of God has come to save us!”

People nearby who spotted us cried out in tears.

‘what?’

Tring!

[Game: Let’s start the main event match of the lower league-Blood Knight 207.]

[Type: monster killing (group PvM)]

[Game Name: Monster Wave]

[Map: Hersebelg (Small)]

[Number of audiences: 479,081]

[Mission: Protect the sacred stone from the monster wave.]

[The sacred stone is in the central square of Hersebelg Castle.]

[The monster wave will continue for another week.]

[This is a group PvM mission, but the dead do not respawn.]

[Current number of survivors: 10]

[There are bonus point conditions.]

[Bonuses increase as more monsters are killed!]

[Time remaining until Divine Stone shooter: 168:00:00]

[Monster wave starts after 1 hour.]

After seeing the contents of the mission, I nodded.

The mission isn’t that difficult.

Since there is a castle wall, ten players can secure victory by guarding the four gates in the north, south, east, west, and west.

First, I checked the stats of the players I was going to play with.

Tring!

[Check the opponent’s abilities.]

[Name: Karol]

[Alignment: Safety]

[Strength: 68(+?)] [Agility: 64(+?)] [Stamina: 69(+?)]

[Spirit: 55(+?)] [Intelligence: 7(+?)] [Magic Power: 55(+?)]

[Awakening Ability: ＜Superlative Swordsmanship＞ ＜Advanced Living＞ ＜Advanced Mana Management＞ ＜Intermediate Fighting Arts＞ ＜Lesser Healing＞]

‘Not bad.’

Maybe it’s because they’re the guys who run the main event, but they have above-average stats.

I also checked the stats of the other eight people, but they didn’t differ much.

All on the same level as Carol.

Team luck came out pretty well.

Even the missions are my favorite many-on-one battles.

Somehow it felt good.

‘shall we start.’

That’s how the last game to go to the upper league has begun.
