Chapter 190
=We have both 4 cards each...!
=If we gather 3 cards, we can definitively choose the ban and select options for 4 matches.
=If we gather 4 cards, we can change the game options...!
=Are the elves intentionally doing this? Until we gather 4 cards...
=Did they intentionally gather 4 cards?
=To change the game options?
-Is that really their intention? Intentionally creating a 2 wins and 2 losses?
-That's only possible when you can control the outcome of every game... They must have the ability to completely crush us.
-But if they count, they can just win. Why go through the trouble?
-What are they trying to change in the options...?
When the viewers are confused because they don't understand the elves' intentions.
=It's okay! We just need to win 4 matches!
=Yes, that's right. That will do! We have strong players! It's just that the match-up wasn't favorable on the Train map...!
The commentators tried hard to see the situation in a positive light.
If we win only 4 matches, whether they gather 4 cards or not...
It will end with a clean 3:1 victory.
And...
=Oh, the select card succeeded!
=Coach Davis has chosen the 'Colosseum' map again!
=It seems like the 70% probability is triggering consecutively 4 times!
The start of the 4th set was good.
The Earth national team, who experienced the overwhelming power of the Transcendent instead of the elves on the Train map...
Picked a map where close combat is possible, and it turned out to be a good choice.
Of course, like the Transcendent, we don't know what other variables will come up.
As humans, we didn't have any information about the opponent, so we had no choice but to choose the map based on the data from the first and second matches.
=The Colosseum map that was frequently used as a survival map!
=In the Space League, 50 human and elf warriors are summoned, and they engage in a bloody battle on the map.
=Although participation is possible for classes other than warriors, it seems that warriors who are skilled in close combat will be chosen due to the small size of the map!
=As you saw in the first and second matches, the elf warriors were helpless against the Sword King...!
=I hope the Sword King wins this game and becomes the series MVP!
=Yes. We must not go to the 5th match. We have to end the game here!
The opponent has only 4 cards, so there are 5 games where option changes are possible.
The commentators emphasized multiple times that they should never let the game go that far.
But...
[The superior race, 'High Elves', will participate.]
[The difference in races is significant. Adjustments will be made...]
[The participating members of 'World Tree Elves - 71' will be adjusted to 31.]
"High Elves...."
"What? Suddenly."
"Race adjustment... wasn't that in the Chaos Battlefield?"
In the Chaos Battlefield, there were differences in the amount of points obtained for each race.
But when they entered the actual game and participated in the Space League, there was no race adjustment, whether it was for humans or elves, they were counted as one person each.
So I thought that the point difference at that time would be adjusted only in the rehearsal game.
But suddenly, after 4 games, the balance was adjusted.
People became more anxious rather than grateful for such adjustments.
How strong must they be to divide 20 people?
In the midst of such anxiety, the 4th game began.
In the Colosseum map, the problematic High Elf revealed herself.
With long golden hair, a part of her bangs was dyed green.
She had a familiar appearance to humans.
- Uh...
- That elf, isn't she the elf we saw on the Sung JiHan channel?
- Right. During the promotion match! She was the one who helped Sung JiHan!
When Sung JiHan held a promotion match on a universal scale.
The High Elf who called him mother and died in the seat of the dead star.
The opponent that appeared now looked exactly like her.
"High Elf... she looks the same as during the promotion match. Is everyone like that?"
[There are differences. The green hair is darker, right? With that level of strength, she must be quite powerful...]
"To the extent of occupying 20 people?"
[Even more than 20 would be fine. We'll lose all 4 games without even putting up a fight.]
Ariella made a cold judgment on the 4-game loss.
This was information that Sung JiHan already knew to be true.
"In my previous life, my brother-in-law couldn't even draw out the High Elf's sword."
Sung JiHan was fascinated by Ito Shizuru and actively participated as the Sword King in Japan.
He participated in the fourth match, filled with the expectations of humanity, in order to win.
"Is this... all?"
With those words, he retired, punching his way out.
The defeat at that time was shocking.
Later on, he grew to the point where he could overpower the High Elves.
"I didn't want to get involved in dirty things, but I guess it can't be helped."
When she drew out her sword, she suffered defeat once again.
In a state of panic, she shouted, "This can't be happening...!"
After that day, she disappeared.
Perhaps, the fascination was released by the power of the World Tree.
"What happened to my brother-in-law after that?"
Sung JiHan looked at the Sword King on the screen.
Yoon SeJin, who was still blind and had lost his eyesight.
In this current world, Sung JiHan was able to bring him along to Japan, but in the previous world, there was no such ally, so it would have been difficult for him to completely escape from Ito Shizuru's clutches.
"But even so, he didn't become the representative of Japan from then on... Maybe he became a hermit."
If Ito Shizuru had once again dominated as the Sword King, he would have sent him as the representative of Japan.
But that didn't happen at all.
Sung JiHan briefly recalled the memories of his previous life.
"Ah, the game is starting!"
He watched as the game progressed.
Flash! Flash!
The players from both sides were summoned to the colosseum.
They faced each other, the two sides.
"Is this... all?"
The High Elf standing at the forefront of the elves looked down on humanity as if it were insignificant.
"Inventory."
He opened his inventory and put the sword he was holding into it.
"That elf seems to be a High Elf... But why is he putting weapons in instead of taking them out? What's his intention?"
When the commentators were confused because they didn't understand the elf's intention.
Whoosh.
The High Elf's figure disappeared.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the heads of the human warriors exploded in mid-air.
"Oh, no..."
"What's happening...!?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The human warriors continued to explode.
Before they knew it, 20 people had died.
"No... It hasn't even been 10 seconds, what's happening?"
"I-Is the game over...!?"
At this rate, it seemed like the game would end in an instant.
"...Fast."
Clang!
The Sword King's twin swords automatically flew and blocked the High Elf's fist for the first time.
"Well, this is better than nothing."
With a slight smile on his face, the High Elf said.
"I'll use my feet too."
Not only his fists, but he also kicked, relentlessly pushing the Sword King back.
Boom! Boom!
As a bonus, he blew up the surrounding human warriors.
"Kreut..."
The Sword King, who was the last one standing, fought to the end.
"Goodbye."
Boom!
In the end, unable to hold on any longer, the twin swords shattered, and the Sword King's head exploded just like the others.
"Oh..."
"E-Even the Sword King has fallen...!"
[The fourth game ends.]
['World Tree Elf - 71' side wins.]
[As the MVP of the fourth game, 'High Elf 71' is selected.]
* * *
The fourth game ended in less than 10 minutes.
"Here comes the fifth game."
The substitute referee standing beyond the coach's table had a bright smile on his face.
"Even a player like that...isn't in first place?"
Meanwhile, Coach Davis on the other side muttered with a bewildered face.
This game.
It was a battle fought with the opponent's first place player banned...
Does that mean a player like that isn't in first place among the World Tree Elves?
"High Elf? You fight the best. It's just that you're not in first place."
"What...?"
"Ranking and strength don't always correspond."
"...Why did you drag the game to the fourth game?"
Coach Davis asked with a dark face.
"If there's a player that strong, the game could have ended in just three games."
"Well, of course."
Sigh.
The substitute referee took out four cards in each hand.
"To use the cards."
"...Because of the option change?"
"Hehe..."
[Entering the preparation stage for the fifth game.]
[This is the final game. No ban or select cards will be given.]
[You can use the cards you've collected so far.]
The fifth game.
Without the ban or select cards given in each game.
It's the last game where you can only use the cards you've collected so far.
The substitute referee placed the cards on the table for the first time in this game.
"I will use four ban cards to change the game option...to 'death penalty.'"
"...What!?"
Death penalty.
Can such a thing be changed?
"I will add 'death' of the representative team player to the defeat penalty."
"D-Death..."
Not only Coach Davis, but everyone in the representative team waiting room was shocked.
Until recently, they were talking about how they were selected for the Space League Earth Representative Team for the first time and it was an honor for their family.
"SHIT! This doesn't make sense!"
"What does having four cards have to do with this...!"
"I-I don't want to die...! How did I come this far...!"
"Ah, I shouldn't have joined the representative team...!"
Now completely panicked, they deeply regretted becoming the Earth representatives.
Whether they were humans or elves, they were all in confusion.
The Elf substitute referee continued to do his job.
"The death rate is at its maximum."
[The maximum punishment in the Bronze League is 1/10th. Will you proceed with this?]
"Yes."
[The losing team will be subjected to 1/10th punishment. One out of ten will be randomly executed.]
When the topic of 1/10th punishment came up, there was a moment of confusion.
"One-tenth...so only one out of ten..."
"It-it doesn't mean everyone will die..."
"But still, one out of ten...it's a matter of luck!"
Even so, everyone was in despair at the penalty where 200 out of 2000 people would be executed.
However, the substitute referee still had four unused cards.
"And, using the select card, I will choose the game map as 'Elgacia Paradise'."
"The map 'Paradise Elgacia' has a special setting."
"Shall we load all the settings?"
"Four select cards are required."
"Yes."
The setting selection of the main hall and system visible to the viewers.
People wondered what the setting of Paradise Elgacia was that required four select cards.
They anxiously watched this.
And.
"Oh...! This map...! It has the effect of doubling the game penalty...!"
The commentators who were the first to understand the characteristics of the map shouted as if screaming.
If the penalty is doubled.
It means that instead of 10 percent, 20 percent will be executed.
And the other map settings were also biased.
"Elgacia with the World Tree... The power of the spirits is greatly amplified..."
"T-This is completely advantageous for the elves!"
A map setting that only strengthens the elves.
It was easy to understand why four select cards were needed.
"No... How can it be so malicious... Are they really planning to execute 20 percent!"
"Well, it may not be necessary for you humans, but..."
Sung JiHan slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
"This is the manual for dealing with our new recruits. Please die quietly."
"Uh... Ugh..."
Director Davis despaired.
He thought that the Battle.net after the tutorial would not be as peaceful as before.
However.
"As soon as we enter the Space League... 20 percent will be executed."
Is this the manual for dealing with elf recruits?
He got goosebumps.
Space League... This is more like a war than a game.
"All the items... are advantageous for the elves..."
Director Davis, who was scrolling through the loaded settings with a bewildered face, suddenly widened his eyes.
"Huh?"
Looking at the last item, he opened his eyes wide.
[Entry conditions for Paradise Elgacia]
[Only Platinum Riggers and Supporter classes can participate.]
Platinum, Supporter.
There was one person who fit this item perfectly.
As if it were a lie, there was exactly one person in the national team.
"What is this item...?"
"Platinum, Supporter? There are races in the world that are not as weak as humans. Just in case, we have set the optimal conditions."
Although the Paradise Elgacia map was designed to be advantageous for the elves.
The Space League was overflowing with powerful races that were impossible to predict.
So, in order to prevent a situation where they would lose.
The map designer limited the players who could participate in the Elgacia map to Platinum Riggers and Supporter classes.
"Well, it's a condition that you don't really need as your opponent. Bring the manual quickly. Platinum, Supporter."
"Ha... Haha..."
"Oh, since you won't have them on your team anyway, will they be randomly selected from the reserves?"
At the words of Sung JiHan.
Director Davis laughed as if he had lost his mind.
"Hehe, heh... Who's not on the team...?"
"..."
Why is he believing that?
Sung JiHan felt a little uneasy when Director Davis' attitude changed, but.
"He must be crazy."
He thought it was nothing important and proceeded with the game.
And the game started, Paradise Elgacia.
Boom!
As soon as the game started.
The opponent elf's body exploded completely.
"Quickly revive, elf."
By a man holding a spear and a sword.
N-M
