Chapter 181
Chapter 181
A space with a massive barrier.
When the expeditionary force arrived there, they could understand why the attacks had poured in as soon as the game started.
"Ah..."
"It was all visible from outside, this."
Inside the barrier.
Several races with faces resembling pigs were being summoned and moving around in chaos.
Their appearance was similar to when Sung JiHan first played on the chaotic battlefield, with random matchups.
While inside, Sung JiHan was amazed at being assigned to a new game without knowing what was happening outside.
But the races that were already participating in the battlefield were able to prepare for such enemies in advance.
"The difference between the rehearsal and the official map is also evident here."
When the game is officially played in the Space League, all races are summoned and start at the same time.
Since the rehearsal map has different rules for the elimination and entry of races, such differences seemed to have arisen.
"Sung JiHan. What will you do?"
Sung JiHan carefully looked inside the barrier at the question.
Races with faces resembling pigs, almost reaching a number close to 500.
They seemed to be the lowest-ranking races treated as 1 point, just like humans.
"The barrier will open soon, let's wait."
"Yes!"
Even if they waited, the main expeditionary force could only prepare for defense.
But Sung JiHan, who was responsible for dealing damage, was different.
"I have time to prepare properly."
Thud.
In front of the enemy's barrier.
Sung JiHan inserted the Shadow Sword Eclipse.
Swoosh...
Then, the shadow seeped into the ground and spread widely, completely surrounding the barrier.
"If it covers this range, it won't be a powerful attack."
"It's okay. I will attack the center, so just take care of the scattered enemies."
"Understood."
The Eclipse was installed to deal with fleeing enemies.
The main attack was planned to be carried out from above the sky.
"Summon Clouds."
Riding the clouds, he ascended to the sky again.
"We are not the only ones here."
In addition to humans, Sung JiHan could see two races from a distance approaching the barrier.
It must be easier to attack the newly summoned races.
"They all look like bugs."
One of the approaching races was a swarm of winged, human-sized flies.
The other was giant flies over 10 meters in size per individual.
-What? Are flies and bugs also races? ㄷㄷ
-Do we fight against those creatures in the Space League...?
-It seems that there are only orc-like creatures inside the barrier that resemble humans.
Viewers who saw the enemies caught by Sung JiHan's gaze realized that various races had participated in the rehearsal.
When the Space League opens, we will fight against these creatures as well.
-Oh, I hate fighting bugsㅠㅠ
-Why are they so bigㅡㅡ
-Orcs are fairies...
The viewers expressed their disgust towards insect races, but Sung JiHan, who had already fought in the Space League once, calmly assessed the enemy's numbers without much excitement.
"The fly race, there are about 150 of them. They are not particularly strong races."
I don't know what number they started with, but anyway, if there are still 150 left, it means that the race itself is not that strong.
"I have to wipe out all the incoming enemies."
Sung JiHan made up his mind to gain a lot of points here.
"Spread, Thundercloud, spread here."
Thundercloud, which had been a means of transportation until now.
However, clouds imbued with lightning could also become excellent weapons in themselves.
From the sky above the barrier, the thundercloud spread widely.
Receiving the power of Sung JiHan, it prepared to unleash lightning.
"That's enough."
After the thundercloud finished its attack preparations, Sung JiHan kicked towards the Samagwi tribe approaching first.
"Keet! More than 400 enemy units! Lowest-tier species!"
"There are two prey!"
"Let's hunt before the giants arrive!"
Seeing the number of humans, the Samagwi tribe flew diligently, concluding that they were the lowest-tier species.
Despite spreading widely and attempting to attack humanity all at once.
"One lowest-tier species is approaching!"
"It's fast... even though it doesn't have wings!"
"Deal with that one first!"
While hastily preparing for Sung JiHan's rapid approach.
They couldn't stop Sung JiHan's spear moving horizontally from a distance.
Mumyeongsingong.
Samjaemuguk.
Hwangsocheongun.
Chi-i-ik!
The Samagwi tribe split in half simultaneously.
Even though they had spread widely in the sky, dozens of individuals fell to the ground in pieces in an instant.
And through the gap, the flames of the phoenix burned, leaving no corpses behind.
The enemies were slightly surprised.
"What, what is this?"
"Their outer shells split instantly...?"
"Disperse, disperse!"
Only then did the Samagwi tribe, who had spread widely to avoid the attack, realize.
"These guys will be taken care of with just basic attacks."
Sung JiHan, who assessed the enemy's level with a single attack.
He leaped towards the enemy.
The Bonghwanggi that cut horizontally seven times.
Every time the spear moved, more than ten enemies were engulfed in flames.
"What, what is this monster doing here?"
"We don't even have 20 percent of our numbers left!"
"Wasn't this a map only for Platinum participants?!"
The enemy's reactions vividly reached through the Battle.net translator.
It was very similar to the reactions of the Earth players who faced Sung JiHan.
-Hahaha, even the alien species is nothing special?
-The Samagwi fell with a single blow like the Japanese wwww.
-Koreans... they were enjoying this kind of thing by themselves.
-Let's share the good stuff together.
-They're the most hated in national representative matches, but here they're the most reliable...
Not only Koreans, but also viewers from the Northeast Asian League countries who had suffered from Sung JiHan's mass slaughter in the past were enjoying it.
Although he was the most annoying opponent in national representative matches.
As the representative player of Earth, he was an extremely reliable player.
"Retreat...!"
When the Samagwi tribe quickly withdrew, the next target was the Jine.
Sung JiHan immediately changed direction and flew towards the direction where the giant Jine was coming from.
"Be careful of the ground!"
"Create a barrier on the ground. The Jine will dig tunnels!"
"Ah, ahh...! What is this, tentacles?!"
"Save me!"
The human troops became a battlefield in the face of the giant Jine's attack.
Still, because Sung JiHan had only formed a combination of Warrior Supporters, they were able to withstand the attack from the enemies coming from underground.
"Since their numbers are small, they must be strong."
About 40 giant ants appeared.
Sung JiHan infused more energy into the Eclipse that was stuck in the ground.
Mumyeongshingong.
Amyeongsingyeol.
Heukyeongseungcheon.
Sssss...
The shadows seeped into the ground.
The color of the ground was completely dyed in darkness.
And there, the shadow energy grew thicker.
"Uh..."
"The enemy's attack has stopped..."
The movement of the ants that fiercely attacked the expeditionary force from the ground suddenly stopped.
Shoooo...
The shadow energy that colored the ground shot up into the sky one by one.
In an instant, 10 black pillars rose.
Inside them, one giant ant was contained in each, unable to move an inch.
[Crunch... Crunch... The diamond is coming here...]
[Diamond? It's more than a diamond, this is!]
[NO.4212... Do not approach them...]
[They have violated the rules of the game. We must protest to BattleNet...]
The giant ants disappeared, leaving behind a testament not to approach humans.
In an instant, ten individuals were killed.
Kururur...
The giant ants that had rushed towards humanity retreated back the way they came.
"Master, master. Was your power really this strong...? When did you develop this much?"
"To think this is all. I haven't used Amyeongsingyeol in a long time, so it didn't unfold as expected."
[...This is considered below expectations?]
Sung JiHan regretted that Heukyeongseungcheon didn't work properly compared to his soul.
Ariel couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when she heard this.
At this level, they surpass real superior races and become top-tier races?
As the attack of the ants came to an end like that.
"Oh, that giant from earlier...!"
Thud! Thud!
The giant tribe that was approaching the barrier from the west.
[Those guys from earlier.]
[Get lost.]
The expeditionary force of humanity, or rather, Sung JiHan, saw the giant tribe and quickly turned back.
"The giants... are running away..."
-Wow, that big giant is running away ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This is... the power of humanity...
-They brought humanity here. Sung JiHan did it all alone ㅋㅋㅋ
-As soon as they entered the battlefield of chaos, they controlled three races ㄷㄷ
Just like on Earth, Sung JiHan was single-handedly destroying the game even in the rehearsal.
Perhaps because only Platinum could participate in the map from the beginning.
There was no race that could stop Sung JiHan's transcendent power.
"Oh, the barrier is opening!"
At that moment, the barrier opened.
"Is this the rehearsal map?"
"Kurur, kurur! Urk, let's dominate the battlefield!"
The pig-headed race of 500, Urk, confidently came out of the barrier.
"Cloud, start."
Kururur...
The thunderstorm that had already spread widely in the sky struck with lightning.
[It's easy. Yeah, this is the lowest level of species, after all.]
Eclipse raised the shadow of the sword from the ground and beheaded Urk.
[What, what is this!]
[Attacking right at the start of the game. This is cheating...!]
In an instant, the enemy species crumbled.
"Seeing that reminds me of when humanity first rehearsed."
"Back then, we also started with a breath attack, they must have been surprised too."
"Wow, the points are accumulating quickly... We've already passed 1000."
"We're in 7th place? This... we might be able to break through this time!"
Although they had already encountered four species, including Urk,
The human expedition, relying solely on Sung JiHan, was able to defeat them all.
If they continued like this, reaching 10,000 points wouldn't be impossible.
Most people were happy with this situation, but there were those who couldn't laugh.
* * *
"Co, Commander. Is this... could it be ending today?"
"Um, well..."
The Platinum warriors from the People's Council 2nd Army looked at each other.
The way the game was progressing was too smooth.
When they defeated the giants or were attacked by the giant centipedes, they thought, "Ah, it's ending like this."
"Sung JiHan is really crazy."
"No, he's in the same league as us..."
"This is unbelievable, really."
Starting with the giants, defeating the mantises and centipedes,
And wiping out Urk, he truly didn't seem human.
If they continued to rely solely on Sung JiHan, clearing the game would truly be possible.
The warriors of the People's Council thought.
"...Although the stat points are tempting. We have to follow the orders from above."
The People's Council was not just a simple guild.
It was an organization that represented China, led and established by the country.
They couldn't dare to resist the orders that came from there.
"There are 440 people left..."
The leader of the People's Council checked the number of people.
They thought a lot of people would die from the centipede attack.
But Sung JiHan's response was so fast that there were quite a few survivors.
"Among them, there are about 50 of our people. Even if we leave, we can maintain... 10 percent of our power."
They would be eliminated from the game if only 10 percent remained.
Somehow, the remaining power was incredibly solid.
At this rate, it really seemed like the game would just end.
"Should I... commit suicide now?"
"No, wait. It'll be too obvious if you commit suicide now!"
"But if the game ends like this, won't we be kicked out of the guild...?"
"That won't happen. Wait for an opportunity. We've only earned about 1,000 points!"
The Chinese warriors whispered to each other in very low voices, so that only they could hear.
"Oh ho."
In the chaotic battlefield, Sung JiHan, who had expanded his senses to the maximum to locate the enemy's position,
Could hear their small talk from above in the sky.
"It didn't seem like the People's Council would just retreat, but they had this kind of mindset."
They were saying that the ones who represented Earth in the Space League game were intentionally trying to ruin the team, right?
"These guys... are they going to be helpful?"
As they say, even dung can be used as medicine.
Sung JiHan smiled.
With the defense power in place, the game was progressing much easier than expected.
They were worried about what would happen if they reached 10,000 points before the Rift Exploration was over...
"I have to make good use of them."
Sung JiHan made up his mind to create a glorious death for them.
N-M
