Chapter 267 – 267. Covenant With the Devil (2)

It all started from within the WM Winners’ red formation base.

The Battle Angels players were beating the WM Winners players with a lot of excitement!
But at some point, the players of WM Winners began to show different movements than before.

Super plays that had not been shown until now were bursting one after another, such as avoiding our players’ amazing attacks with even more amazing moves, or accurately seeing the angle of attack in the midst of chaos when 10 characters were intertwined and mixed.

“And… What is it, WM Winners!!”
“A truly miraculous play… ! Can you explain this any more than that?!”
“Thanks to you, the game almost got over the edge!

Even after that, WM Winners’ super save continues.
It was a very energetic game, so it was hard to hope for a turnaround with a few miraculous plays, but it was true that time was dragging on thanks to the oxygen respirator.

Our players have also been more cautious in their movements, perhaps thanks to the difficulties they faced several times.
Of course, the expiration date of allied characters was approaching, and the opponent’s item window was gradually filling up.

“It’s getting dangerous now… “

Hwang Ji-yeon’s murmur was heard.
As she said, now the team fight is starting to flow evenly.

The management and judgment of the players of WM Winners were no different, but only one physical that changed made it impossible to know where the winner or loser was.

“Ha, suddenly you’re so good at it?”

I can’t help but agree with her words.
It was a series of amazing scenes, where did the lax appearances that had been shown so far go?

The fortunate thing is that our players have not yet rushed into a head-on fight with a calm attitude.

###

[BA Ryu: What is it? Why is your opponent suddenly so good? A little embarrassed?]

The match was halfway through.
Ryu Seo-yoon’s bewildered voice rang through the voice chat.

The Battle Angels players didn’t say anything and remained silent.

Ryu Seo-yoon’s story was true.
WM Winners, who easily overpowered them in the beginning, was nowhere to be found, and now they showed only a sharp side that made them instinctively scared when they encountered them.

[BA White: Yoona Seo! Take a moment off!]

When WM Winners run away like a mouse in front of a cat, a sharp voice is heard.

Ryu Seo-yoon, who had been shopping while looking at the item shop for a while, quickly came to his senses and looked at the map.
All of a sudden, WM Winners players were gathering around her.

[BA Ryu: I’ll take it out slowly!]
[BA GODOG: I don’t think you can get this?]
[BA Wisdom: You still have to save it! If Ryu Seo-yoon dies, we can’t win!]

Ryu Seo-yoon kicked out the first top laner, Astro, by defeating him with kiting.
However, Astro naturally returns to the base and teleports again.

In the meantime, the jungler, Paedo, took Inish in succession.
Unlike Astro’s Inish, it was not easy to shake off Paedo’s check armed with CC.

Ryu Seo-yoon, whose stamina quickly fell, immediately fell into a dying state.
Ji-hye Lee joins in by appearing from behind Paedo just in time.

White-white Tinkerbell, who was attached to Lee Ji-hye, flew to Ryu Seo-yoon and put her heel.

Thanks to this, about half of his physical strength is restored, and he miraculously succeeds in escaping from the clutches of Paedo.

[BA GODOG : Eat it slowly! I’ll ride behind me!]

Heo Sook-hee joined.
And as Lee Ji-ah enters the battlefield, the Battle Angels’ counterattack begins.

Lee Ji-hye took a step back from the chaotic quarrel and looked at the situation.

‘The opponent’s physical is still excellent.’

It seemed to be one drink higher than Ryu Seo-yoon and Lee Ji-ah, who prided themselves on having the best physicals on the team.
If she didn’t maintain her tension all day, avoiding skill shots that she couldn’t even react to, and digging into them sharply, was at the height of art.

‘If we fight like this, we’ll be sure to lose.’

It was a team fight that started with Ryu Seo-yoon alive, but her opponent’s continuity was even better.
It was obvious that she would be reversed if she did not defeat the enemy at once, but the opponent with amazing movements did not seem to be easily defeated.

‘Then I need to create a variable.’

Jihye Lee caught her eye on the one-dealer, HAN, who was hiding deep in her tangled formation.
She seemed to be hiding her body for a while from Lee Ji-ah’s attack, but she was looking at each angle to counterattack at any time.

[BA Wisdom: Let’s start by keeping the opponent’s front line away!]

Lee Ji-ah, who immediately understood her meaning, hurriedly fell back.

She was already in the middle of the enemy lines, so just hitting her backwards had to consume her considerable stamina.

After her WM her winners leaned forward on her as her body caught her.
That was an opportunity for the Battle Angels.

Her formation collapsed thanks to Lee Ji-ah, believing in her improved physical abilities.

[BA Wisdom: I’ll enter!]

Lee Ji-hye cleared the road in front, and Heo Sook-hee attacked the dealer Jin from behind.
WM Winners’ HAN and Warlock hurriedly tried to get in between the tanks and rub them, but at that moment Ryu Seo-yoon, who dug in with a front dash, started pouring out bursts of damage.

[Double kill!]

No matter how great she is physically, she couldn’t survive with only her physical strength in a broken composition.
After HAN and Warlock were defeated and Lee Ji-ah, who possessed the tanks, came back alive, there was no way for the remaining members of WM Winners to win the teamfight.

Nevertheless, the process of clearing the residual sugar alone takes more than 20 seconds.
It was because of the tankers who had grown sufficiently and the limitations of early characters whose distribution period was approaching.

[BA GODOG: Just awesome game! No more wasting time!]

When they succeeded in escaping into the WM Winners’ base, it took an instant to push the twin turrets out.
The opponent who respawned at the right time struggled with all their might, but they could not stop the Battle Angels players who only hit the core while ignoring their lives.

[Victory]

A message that could have been easily seen appeared with difficulty.
The Battle Angels players sighed deeply and came out of the capsule wiping cold sweat.

Even after taking the first set, he could never smile brightly.
It was because I was able to win the last teamfight thanks to the snowball rolled in the beginning.

If WM Winners showed the same physicality as they do now in the second set, it would be difficult to guarantee victory.

“Good job everyone!”

When they returned to her waiting room, Hwangbo Jiyeon greeted them with her bright face.
She was usually very calm, but she was worried that her players might die in a sudden turnaround crisis, so she calmed her down with a high-tension voice.

“It was a bit risky at the end, but in the end it went as we planned. Don’t panic, just go at your own pace. Right?”

Hwang Bo Ji-yeon turned her head to her side when she saw the condition of the players who were more sluggish than she thought.
It seemed to her that it would be more helpful to show director Kim Jung-soo’s confident image than her own support.

However, coach Kim Jeong-soo is only making a serious expression while looking at the waiting booth opposite him.
He didn’t even pay attention to the players on the same team.

“Hey. Where do you look like that?”

Frowning her face, she followed him to the booth of WM Winners and cast her gaze.

And she could see it too.
The WM Winners squad entering the booth with a very flushed face.

“…What’s wrong with them?”
“Well. I don’t know.”

Kim Jeong-soo smiles and only then pays attention to the players.

All the players who were standing around them, wrapped in a circle, looked at him.

“But for some reason, I don’t think that monstrous physicality will last long, what do you guys think?”

At his question, the players looked at each other’s faces and nodded.

Hwang Ji-yeon couldn’t help but sympathize with the words.
Obviously, the WM Winners players entering the booth did not look normal.

If so, the strategy to be used in the second set was decided.

“Set 2, let’s go all the way to Ragnarok.”

Hwang Ji-yeon smiled at his words, raising the tail of her mouth.

Confidence that comes from grasping the situation, not unfounded support, ignited the players’ spirit of victory again.

###

After the first set match, the master coach looked at the players and frowned.

Obviously, the effect of the trump card was good.
It wasn’t even caught in the capsule’s self-test, and it was almost reversed in the second half.

However, in the end, it was important that he failed to reverse.

The players who have returned from the match already look exhausted. Shouldn’t they win the bet only if they win all 2 sets?

“It can’t go on like this. The second set must be finished quickly.”

Players who were already on the same boat also nodded.

They themselves were feeling it too.
That your body condition is already reaching its limit.

If the 2nd set drags on, even if you go to the 3rd set, you won’t be able to show off the fantastic moves you showed at the end of the 1st set anymore.

“I can’t help it. Let’s eat one more and then go in.”

After checking the players who continue to breathe heavily, the master coach takes a bag of medicine out of his pocket and puts it down.

The players didn’t like it, but they had no choice but to accept something she was handing out and pour it into her mouth.
The league side, which was in a hurry to prepare for the second set, was not paying attention to the camera at all, so now was a golden opportunity.

“Isn’t this something wrong with your body?”

Astro asked as if he was worried.
However, the only thing that came back was the cold expression of the master coach.

“What would you do if there were?”
“…”
“Hey, my career as a player is over in a few years. If the Battle Angels take all the spotlight like now, do you think your place will remain?”

The coach exhaled a long sigh and warned in a low voice.

“If you have already dirty your hands, go to the end. It’s something the director doesn’t know except us here.”

What she said was true.
As long as we decided to shoulder each other, if even one person steps out, everyone will fall.

At least in the world of sports, drugs, manipulation, and sluggishness were unforgivable felonies.
