Chapter 20: The Great War (Part II)

In the early days of Arth, many users came to the Underground Arena.

It is to complete this special quest with no level limit.

It's like people getting off work and coming home from work for dinner, and it's raining on the 9th subway express in the city.

In other words, it's already packaged!

However, there are not many people here.

That makes sense. There is no way to beat it.

The fight against 100 people was too difficult, so no one could solve it.

Even the rankings that occasionally appear on TV fail.

"If anyone can accomplish this, I'll give you whatever you want!" Sibiro shouted after losing the battle with 100 men.

He is a famous Windranger known as the Archer of the Winds.

"I'll ask you one last time. Challenger, will you try to fight 100 men? You've only got one shot," Berkan said.

Against 100 men!

The chance of success this time is 0%.

The challenger's skills and items are sealed, and their stats are fixed at 10 pieces.

In addition, the player is blinded.

It's a brutal quest that forces players to fight 100 gladiators at the same time and imposes such a limit!

100 gladiators will fight against a blind challenger.

In addition, only 100 men can be fought at a time.

The most difficult task is to fight against 100 soldiers.

To make matters worse, Conou only has a level 1. This is obviously an unthinkable attempt.

However, Conou doesn't think his choice is stupid.

"Now, I have the best chance!"

He heard that the strength of a gladiator depended on the level of a person.

He was sure because he had obtained this information from players who had deleted the characters and created new ones to try against 100 men again.

In other words, if he fights in level 1 like he does now, the gladiators will also be at their weakest.

He also heard that these weak gladiators would be defeated with a single blow.

Therefore, this is the best time for Cono, who has super instincts, to complete this task.

"Yes, I will!" shouted Conou.

"Okay. Place your hand on the snake's head. If this is done, the contract will be completed and the door will open. The challenge will begin. ”

Cono walked to the iron gate.

An amphibious snake or two-headed snake is carved on the iron door.

"The engraving is almost real. ”

The Wenchang fish is a symbol of the goddess of contract, and the merchants of the game believe in it.

It is said that the amphibian snake will bite the contractor, and if they break the contract, the venom of the two-headed snake will kill them.

Therefore, being bitten by a snake means that people are willing to sacrifice their lives to fulfill the end of the contract.

"It doesn't really bite, does it?"

Cono carefully placed his hand on the snake's head.

[Start the battle with 100 men.] ]

Scream.

The heavy iron door made a screeching sound as it scraped against the ground.

"Good luck. ”

Buchan shoved Conou on the back.

[Please select the item you want to use against 100 men.] ]

Conou saw a box in front of him containing various weapons.

A double-edged sword, a spear, a single-edged sword, a dagger, etc.

In Warlord, Conou wields a greatsword.

However, instead of a big sword, Kang Ou chose a steel sword.

"Let's show them the skills I've learned over the past six months. ”

In any case, it didn't matter, because the gladiators would lose with one blow.

Meaning that he does not need to use large and bulky weapons.

"Movies. ”

As soon as he picked up the weapon, Cono activated the cinematic mode.

In Arth, players are provided with artificial intelligence that can shoot automatically.

It's like a brand new game!

However, there is no video yet about "fighting 100 men".

This is because in the event of a malfunction, the shooting will be stopped and the recorded content will be deleted.

"Who knows what will happen if I'm done?"

If he manages to clear Fight with 100 Men, and the record is still intact, it will surely turn into money.

That's the infamy of fighting against 100 men!

And...

Conou's attempt now begins.

[Your belongings, skills, and sights have been sealed under the contract.] All stats are set to 10. ]

[Battles with 100 people will start at 5.4.3.2.1.]

[Start!]

He's already level 1, so this data change doesn't make sense.

He also doesn't have any projects or skills.

His vision darkened, as if he was wearing an eyepatch without any openings.

"Think of it as training. ”

Didn't he already train at fencing school with an eye patch?

People who do something regularly can do it without restrictions. Even though he couldn't see everything in front of him, he felt calm.

At that moment, he felt a chill in his shoulders.

"It works!"

Ultra-Instinct: Everything is clear!

Conou pulled his shoulders away slightly, then pushed the sword according to his super instincts.

Thump.

A clean hit.

His hands were numb with excitement.

[99 gladiators remaining.] ]

Done with one!

"Come on!" Conou shouted.

Now, things will start in earnest.

"I think I have a feel for the structure of the place. ”

As his battle with the gladiators continued, Conou had come to approximate the shape of the area.

He was surrounded by walls, about the size of a high school gymnasium. There were no obstacles, at least no anomalies, the ground was just dust.

This may have been the original stadium where the competition was held.

And there were a few gladiators left.

He sensed the presence of gladiators. He is able to dodge attacks with hyper-instinct and counter-attacks.

Hack!

[51 gladiators remaining.] ]

[Remaining stamina: 10]

[Due to immortality stats, your abilities will not be reduced.] ]

It's not that because he's level 1, everything has changed.

When a person levels up, their stamina increases by 1. As a result, Conou's stamina is at its lowest point.

"I should have waited for them to come to me. ”

The lower the stamina, the lower their abilities. When a person's stamina reaches 0, they are unable to move.

Conou stayed in one place, waiting for them to attack.

If they don't attack him, then he replenishes his stamina. If they do, he will minimize his own movements and counterattacks.

He felt a chill!

Con'ou leaned in and fought back. Based on his ultra-intuition, he extended the sword to what he thought was his neck.

[You defeated 50 gladiators.] The remaining gladiators will now attack more cautiously. ]

"Oh. ”

The gladiators stopped their attack.

Cono gradually began to replenish his strength. However, by reducing their number, it becomes more difficult at the same time.

Ring!

It felt as if he heard a whistling sound, signaling the start of the second half.

Conou's sword knocked down another gladiator.

[10 gladiators remaining.] The gladiators were angry and struck you faster and more violently than before. ]

[HP Remaining: 20]

At some point, 1 to 100 became 1 to 10.

However, the smaller the number, the harder it is to fight.

When there are 40 gladiators left, 2 of them will attack from the front and back.

When there are 20 gladiators left, 4 of them will attack from all directions.

Despite his super instincts, he didn't want to dodge attacks from all four directions at the same time.

As a result, Kangou's horsepower has dropped to 20. If he hits 2 more times, he will lose.

But now they are also enraged!

'Damn!'

Conou didn't even have time to breathe.

Enraged gladiators attacked from all sides.

He's chilling!

He couldn't stop their attack, so he rolled to the floor. However, his stamina dropped dramatically.

But he didn't just sit there and take it.

Con Ou lowered his sword as if sweeping the floor.

(Universal Developer)

He felt something. Con Ou felt one of the gladiators fall.

He leaned down again, waving his blade.

OK!(plop)

[9 gladiators remaining.] ]

There is no time to celebrate.

Enraged, the gladiators went on the offensive.

They may be stabbing him as he rolls on the floor.

Conou continued to roll on the floor.

Against 100 men.

It's like he's walking a tightrope, and there's a danger of falling.

Despite this, with a high level of concentration, super-intuition, and training experience blindfolded in the dojo, Con'ou was able to reach the ultimate level of the task.

Thump!

His swordsman felt a tingle.

[1 gladiator remaining.] ]

[Finally Gladiator Darion (oh) has been keeping an eye on this, and now he's going to get into the fight.] ]

[He was the most skilled gladiator.] ]

"You have my respect," the gladiator Darion said to him at the end.

"I want to fight you fairly and justly. Maximize your Darian and stamina. Until then, I will not go on the offensive. ”

Darien's (HP) considerations sent Conou's mind into speeding.

I can use this...

He came up with a great idea.

"Thank you for your consideration, great gladiator. ”

Cono fell to the ground. As soon as he began to rest, his stamina began to replenish rapidly.

Of course, his Conou is also being added.

HP replenished his conou and stamina and stood up.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Darien. I was the last student of Bogan, the master gladiator. ”

Darion's voice was full of pride.

"Just like I thought. I've heard of you before. You are the student that the HP Master cares about the most. ”

"I'm nothing compared to my master's fame. ”

"That's not right. Think I'll be able to fight you eventually. It's truly an honor. I'll be proud of you.

Conou's voice sounded honest.

"Well, it's like a challenger defeating 99 gladiators. I will also face you with honor and pride. ”

Darien grabbed his weapon.

"Then I'm coming. ”

"Come!"

Conou rushed over with a serious expression. Darion's expression was also gloomy.

Conflict.

Kang!

Their swords collided with each other.

At that moment, Conou threw something in Darion's face.

Dirt.

"Ahh ”

Dirt had seeped into Darion's eyes. Conou, when he heard Darien's voice, smiled.

'Just as planned!'

Led by his super-intuition, Cono stabbed his sword into Darion's heart with precision.

Thump!

Such a beautiful sound seemed to lift a huge weight on his shoulders. It could have been a fatal blow, with red shards scattered around.

"Oh you...!" Darion said indignantly, falling to the ground.

"Hehe, Darien, right? You asked me to fight 100 with 1, do you want me to fight against fairness and justice? Please give me a break," Conou said.

First of all, the fight against 100 men was a scuffle. No rules, no fouls. The important thing is victory!

In other words...

"People who are deceived are stupid. ”

Yes - go with the flow and let Conou let down the guards. He then threw dirt in Darion's face and stabbed him. Even so, Conou felt that his actions were completely justified.

[You defeated the last gladiator, Darian.] ]

[You have conquered the fight against 100 men.] A truly amazing feat!Find Oh to get rewards. ]

At last!

That was the moment Buchan completed his mission, causing many other players to be so desperate that the success rate reached 0%!

After completing the task, his eyes returned to him.

Unsurprisingly, "Fighting 100 People" is on the stage of a cycle. He didn't see any gladiators he had fought against.

"First things first..."

He checked his battle record.

His battles were recorded from beginning to end.

'Yes!'

Conou shook it happily. This will definitely turn into money!

Plus, there are still rewards for completing missions, which is very difficult for this crazy quest.

"I wonder what they're going to give me. Hehe. ”

When he reached the iron gate, the door opened automatically.

Burkan is right there.

"Well done, challenger," Burkan said.

[Gladiator Master Berkan (Con'ou) has recognized you as a great warrior.] ]

[Fame increases.] ]

[Closeness to Burkan has increased considerably.] ]

[Once your intimacy reaches its limits, you can learn Buchan's secret tricks.] ]

'A chance!'

Buchan realized that this was an opportunity for him to increase his engagement with Conou.

"It's been a while, but let's try to cheer him on. ”

Just like the workers at the top, gamers are favored.

As Buchan is the one who gives the player a task or reward.

Therefore, get used to flattering people and excel at it.

"It's all due to the grace of Lord Lakan," said Conou with the most modest expression.

Most gladiators worshipped Lakan's god of war and victory.

In order to gain Oh's favor, Buchan raised Conou.

It's like flattering your parents. The best way to cheer them on is to praise their children!

"Indeed, it is all thanks to the grace of Lord Lakan. Follow me. ”

[Your intimacy with Burkan has increased.] ]

"What a start!"

Lacan prepared more flattery, and then followed closely behind Conou.

"My name is Conou. ”

"I'm Buchan. ”

"I know. I've always admired you. It's an honor to walk by your side, Master Berkan. But Master Berkan, can I call you brother?"

Flattery is constant.

"Hmm. ”

"Brother Burkan!"

We are brothers!

[Intimacy is greatly enhanced.] ]

"My sister is really beautiful. Her name is Elena (Buchan) and she is the reincarnation of the goddess of beauty. Now that I think about it, you're not married, are you?"

A Sweetheart Trap!

[Intimacy with Elena multiplies.] ]

"I'm also from the training center in Buchan. I went there because I heard you had attended in the past. ”

He was only there for a short time, enough for a cup of coffee, but anyway. Connect!

"But I was beaten by Master Rain. Did he hit you too?"

Did he hit the liar once?

"I was also being roughed up. ”

"He's such a grumpy, heartless old man. Isn't it, brother?"

"Hmm. ”

In place of the people he hates!

"But do you know how far apart the ages of Master Rain and his wife are? They are actually 30 years apart. It's a crime. Serious crime!"

"Rain, yes. ”

Berkan is an old bachelor. Type T - Constant introductions on topics that would irritate an old bachelor like him.

Eventually, Burkan couldn't help but agree with him.

[Intimacy is greatly enhanced.] ]

[Intimacy is maximized.] ]

[You and Conou are no longer strangers.] You can now learn the techniques of Buchan. ]

"Brother!"

"Little brother!"

Form a close, brotherly bond through all kinds of flattery and reciprocation!
