Chapter 399 – Motivation

Angry Sers.
In the midst of the commotion, an urgent voice resounds.

[Tie. Bigger than expected…! There is a possibility that you will be swept away too!]
“What are you flustered about, mister?”

Milia’s younger brother. Tai, a sharp-looking man with black hair, lowered his eyes and smiled.

“It’s great that it’s crowded, but what?”
[Mmm…]
“Don’t worry about me, take care of my sister.”

Right after that, the ring on Tai’s hand as he ran away shone.

The huge wave of mana became as huge as a mountain and covered Sers.
The finalists, lined up in front of the judges’ seats and listening, felt their bodies being swept away and opened their eyes, only then to realize that they were in a different place.

“Warp?!”
“Muh, what is it?”

Warp was not much different from those in the judges’ seat.
Gald opened his mouth wide, and Leo quickly pulled out a control device that could handle the barriers installed in Sers.

“Activate the security device! Now!!”
“What…”
“Gald! This is not the time to stand still. Please open the security system that Heart Gaga installed!”
“Ah, I see.”

I don’t like Leo, but it’s true.
Gald hurriedly activated the defensive spells he had set up all over Sers.

Originally, it was a barrier built to prevent participants from getting involved in a fight, but this defensive technique, created as a reflection on the last sea god’s cave beast incident, is not a simple barrier, but a wall that gives a property shock when bumped into.
Cross product. It is effective against monsters.

‘It’s fortunate that I made the minimum preparation… But it’s a headache.’

I knew that Herroot was suspicious, but I wasn’t prepared.
If an Emrepes-class wizard were determined, there was no way he could completely block it.

‘But I never dreamed that he would do something like this at the opening ceremony.’

Whatever his intentions may be, the world’s scrutiny will be inevitable.

‘But why didn’t the general public touch it?’

Okay. If so, is there anything more to notice about what you’ve done?
Why didn’t normal people warp?
If you wanted to cause confusion, it would be better to warp ordinary people at random…?

“Wow… What was that?”
“Is this also prepared by the host?”
“Pretty!”

Ordinary people who didn’t know anything cheered as if they thought the scene just before was some kind of event.

But those with skills know.
That the foundation of this area has changed.

[I will explain the changed rules.]

Herroot, who was still reflected as a hologram in the air, smiled benignly.
It was a strangely goosebumps laugh compared to what he had just done.

[First of all, the basic rules are similar. Each contestant needs to create one dropout.]

The participants held their breath and listened to Herruth.
I couldn’t resist the previous warp at all.
I don’t know, but if Hurroot made up his mind and attacked, he would have no choice but to die.

[Don’t be too nervous. I just want to see the appearance of the newly born hero, so I won’t do anything to harm you in a normal state.]

Why does the term ‘sane’ appear?
The answer came soon.

[The rules are very simple. I’ll keep the rules so far, but I’ll add ‘slaughter’.]

“Slaughter…?”
“…Crazy.”

Some questioned, others understood and expressed surprise.

[You understand, but if I have to say it, defeating an opponent means killing them, not incapacitating them.]

Buzz around
Even ordinary people who thought this was an event hardened their smiles.

[Ah. Don’t worry. There must be some people who are resistant to killing themselves. Mercy and compassion are the hero’s virtues. So just disable it. Then I’ll take care of it for you.]

There is a sense of tension.
Then someone shouted.

“You’re talking funny!! Why do we have to kill each other?”

The man who shouted courageously trembled at the retaliation that might happen later.

‘Come to think of it, can’t you hear it because it’s a hologram?’
However, the huge hologram in the sky understood his words and smiled.

[Okay. It’s natural to think so. You are a courageous friend.]
“…”
[Why do we have to kill each other… Yes. Because I want it.]

The moment he said something outrageous, even the other contestants were angry.

“No matter how much you are Emrepes, you can act like this!!”
“What are you thinking!!”
“Stop playing around like this right now!”

At the unanimous cry, Emrepes laughs.
And that moment.
The air around the area that has changed is shaking.

“?!”
“Prepare!”

Nervous finalists.
What appeared right after… A ghost. Devil. It was a number of fish doll monsters.

Oh oh oh

“…”
“…”
“…”

A blue stream of mana swirls all over Sers once again.
Participants swallowed their saliva at the appearance of monsters that appeared to surround people.
Until just now, it could have been dismissed as a serious prank, but now it is impossible.
It is evident that Huroot is sincere.

[There was a rule in the original rule that you had to attack the person next to you for one minute, right? In the existing rule, if you do not comply, a penalty will be imposed, and if it continues three times, you will be treated as a forfeiture…

The contestants who advanced to the finals are strong people who are said to be the best.
But even they felt the strong power of these monsters, making them nervous.

[I have to say, the monsters I can summon are literally limitless. I won’t lose my strength for nothing.]

Ordinary people are hesitant to step back.
However, he is blocked by the barriers triggered by the teenage family and cannot move.
A barrier that recognizes friends doesn’t hurt people, but it doesn’t let them go.

“What, what is this…”
“Did you lock us up…?”
“The Super Wizard is trying to kill us!”
“Aaaaa!”
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

The screams that resonated throughout Sers merged into a huge reverberation.
And that moment.

Dig.

Another giant hologram came to mind.
Hurrut narrowed his eyes.
The form that appeared…Had the feminine form of a normal water spirit.

‘Higher Spirit…?’

Besides, it was very clear. It was proof that it was stable, not squeezed out mana without mana.
Did you summon such a powerful spirit without much trouble?
When the unexpected ambush appeared, the spirit opened its mouth.
Soon, a reassuring oriole-like voice leaked out.

[Please be at ease. Citizens of Sers. The shield that has now been unfolded is prepared by the teenage family and is a shield to protect you.]
[Hoo. Whoa.]

Her Root nodded her head and agreed.

[In addition, we will be moving soon to suppress the situation, so please wait for a moment with peace of mind.]
Hehe. Suppression of the situation?]

Who is this Elemental Commander?
A high-level spirit that is difficult to even summon unless you have a fairly high affinity for spirits, even lends you vocal chords?
Hurrut asked with deep interest.

[Who are you?]
[I am not worthy of naming someone like you. Dear Emrepes.]

Are you polite in this situation?
No, because he was strong, he had a deep sense of composure, Harut judged.

[I wonder. Someone? If you explain it, I’ll explain the additional rules I was trying to tell you after a while.]
The water spirit, who blinked her eyes, smiled brightly, and the image of a certain girl came to mind.
A beautiful girl with long hair on one side.

[I’m not one to name, but if you really want to. I will tell you my identity instead of my name.]
[Whoa…]

While everyone was watching, the spirit spoke.

[Instructor at Prunar Academy. It is Yeodere’s seed.]
[Huh… Are you that?]

The talent that a journalist wanted.
Lena Artez.
I know that she is still young, but her appearance now shows that she has matured quite a bit.

‘It must be that the body is being optimized under the influence of the spirit.’

That’s a realm only allowed to the elemental magicians of the legend.
Eumelia Winte, a teenage hero and high elf.
She had investigated the high elf, as it was named after her by Yu Velia of knowledge of the same rank as Emre Feth, like Herruth.
Among the materials I found at that time, it was said that if you have a high affinity with the spirits, various miracles will happen.

‘Isn’t it beyond imagination?’

At the same time, Yeodere became more wary.
Are you treating a child like that as a mere seed?

‘Actually, he’s out of my warp.’

Even Ga-eun was warped to another area after Herroot worked hard and overlapped the warp several times.
In the same way, even though Dre had several layers of warps overlapped, it was not enough to cut all the warps with the cutting sword technique, so the remaining sword energy automatically splits the next warp.

‘As expected, he’s the one who changes my destiny.’

A grinning Heo Root saw Lena’s stare and nodded her head.

[Okay. Right… As promised, if I want to tell you one thing, if you want to stop this tournament, you have to either lose half of the participants according to the original rules, or find me and neutralize me.]
[Ha…]

Lena sighs as if she is deeply disappointed in Heo Root, who says everyone knows what to do.

[Listen to the end. You guys will have a hard time with just this, so a hidden rule.]

Herruth’s finger points to the ground.

[The core that maintains this phenomenon is hidden from someone.]

People’s facial expressions change.
Because there is a way to live.

[As the number of participants decreases, we will narrow down the candidates. How is it? Isn’t this fair enough? Now. I’m leaving now.]

Jijik.

Lena’s figure disappeared.
However, rather than being released by Herr Root, she was more like just stepping down.
Harut chuckled and clapped his hands.

[Ruler! From now on, the hero’s gaze Group A finals! We will hold it!! Start!]

And the hologram of Heurut contemplates the ground with his chin on his chin.
Participants raised their weapons or held a combat stance and glanced at each other.

[Ego. Didn’t I say that the time limit for not attacking each other is 1 minute? Now there are only 30 seconds left until one minute.]

At those words, the eyes of the finalists who were looking at each other were filled with speculation.
Right after.

Kwachang! Dismissed!

With a loud sound, many monsters fluttering around flew away.
Starting with the attack of a few people, Erai fuck!! Let’s go!! The same spirit was heard and the interception of the monster began.

[Ugh?]

Hart’s eyes widened.

“Do you think we’re crazy enough to join this killing game!”
“I’d rather die fighting monsters!”
“Damn our memories and the eyes of a hero who is honored?! Where are you spitting out that name!”

Those who participated in the finals had high pride.
Of course, there were those who had a selfish temper, but they couldn’t resist the atmosphere of confrontation, so they had no choice but to fight the monsters.

[Haha.]

Herroot laughs at an unexpected situation.

‘The providence went wrong.’

Confronting monsters was not unexpected. In the first place, they saw it as providence that they would fight against monsters instead of fighting each other.
What Huroot was perplexed about was that they had a chance to win.

Originally, in the providence he saw, the participants who were hesitant at the beginning because they could not keep up with the situation were embarrassed and pushed back by the monsters that attacked after a minute.
However, now it was rather pushing.

‘That seed child… Morale rose thanks to the intervention of eight days.’

It was unpleasant.
You’ve already twisted the providence.
However, Heo Root raised his lips as he recalled the fate that would come to him.

‘It has been proven that the providence can be twisted. With this action, I will enter a completely safe area.’

“Shall we add a rule?”

Hurrut smirked and shouted.

[Your spirit. What a hero! Impressed!]

The monsters who had been watching the participants quietly began to fight back when they were attacked.
It was natural if it was natural, but it made me feel bad that they had assumed the situation they would attack.

Herroot’s words stick to the finalists who are displeased in many ways.

[Didn’t I tell you about the one with the nuke? There is someone in Sersu who has a hint to end what happened to Sersu!! Let me tell you about it!]

About 3 minutes before the monster and the contestants clash.

There were only two exceptions to the warp that hit all participants.
One is Dre, who shattered Warp with a slicing sword.
The other was veiled.

Ka-Woon couldn’t completely release the overlapping warp, and she was transported somewhere.
That wasn’t Sers.
Even though it was warped, there was not a single wound on Gariun’s body.
He felt burdened and sent it away.
Dre murmured when he saw that Gariun’s mighty energy had completely disappeared from the surroundings.

“Principal Sam… A con man… He said he wouldn’t move in the hero’s gaze…”

Next to him as he murmured, the students who were hunched over hunched over swallowed their saliva.
Reus spoke as a representative.

“..De-dre tongue..Instructor. What now?”
“What the heck. I’m going to kill that bastard.”

A hologram floating in the sky.
Looking up at Hurroot, Dre narrowed his eyes.

“But, where should I start…”

Harut said it would end if he got rid of him.
But the problem is, Hurroot has three bodies instead of just one old body.
Even now, the three of them were caught by Dre’s spirit.
In addition, two of them are constantly wandering around the warp, and the body that is supposed to be the main body is far away, in a place surrounded by warp magic.

I don’t know if it’s one, but by the time I kill three, the defense technique that the teenage family has made solid will be pierced, and there will be casualties.

“No, that’s strange…?”
“Uh, huh? What?”

Dre answered May Yal’s question by stroking her chin.

“Grandpa has a bad personality. There’s no reason to leave him as a normal person…?”

Even if Huroot just warped without waiting, the casualties would be appalling.
Dre thought there must be a reason why Herroot didn’t bother to touch normal people.
And that moment.
Huroot’s hologram exclaims that he is impressed, and then hints.

[Hint!! The Earl of Silmoney also has it!! He’s currently in District 13 of Yang’s District!! Good luck! Haha!]

Dre looked up and checked the sign.
Zone 13 of the positive zone. That, as it happened, was where Dre and his disciples were standing.

“Heh. What an unfortunate piece of shit.”

Dre immediately strode forward and broke down the outer wall of the building.

“Hey!”

A scream could be heard through the collapsing dust, and Dre thrust his hand into it, pulling out one of the lumbering men and tossing them to the ground.

“Kwaaaaak!”

The fat man, rolling on the ground, crawled to get away.
Dre pressed his foot down the scruff of his neck.

“Keuk…”
“Hello, Countess.”
“…Ah, how are you, Baron Dre…”

The sword can be seen in the eyes of the real mother who rolls her eyes and looks frightened.

“Hint.”
“Heeek…!”
“Hint.”
“Now, wait. You can’t say that with your bare mouth. At least it’s safe…”
“Bye.”

The sword was about to be inserted without hesitation.
Silver Money Burr shouted, closing his eyes tightly.

“Me, Millia!!”

The sword stopped abruptly.

“Milia… Is nuclear…!”
“…Yes?”
