Chapter 573 – Reversal (3)

The video centered on the former Q class didn’t feel like the situation was intentionally created.

Instead of belonging to Utopia, they went into the shadows and raided those who chose the path of crime.

And there was a picture of him being quickly subdued with the overwhelming power of a quest expert.

‘I guess that’s a real-world experience of its own, right?’

He struck down the enemy with lightning-like movements and subdued the guy who was making nonsense from a distance.

With overwhelming firepower, he broke through the defensive wall prepared for battle with a powerful person and saved people with light.

“Roanna, doesn’t it look like a movie?”

“The public will definitely be surprised. There will be more people like me practicing magic before going to Utopia…”

It was a perfect promotional video to let people know that there are many people with stronger abilities than us, but that they can grow that much in just one year.

Should we say that this is a video that can immediately increase the scope of activities of talented people belonging to Olympus?

And I was curious as to why this video, which had been hidden until now, was being released now.

“Looks like we’re going to be the villains.”

Vulcan, who was watching the video next to me, answered my doubts.

“It would be so insidious to release the video now with that in mind.”

Utopia stood by and Olympus intervened.

Now the students from Utopia, the students from Olympus, and the students from that video are competing.

There must be a lot of people on Earth who don’t know the eight people, and when a video like this comes out, they tend to think that Olympus, who caught the criminal, is good.

When the video, which was very flashy even without special effects, ended, the stage for us to fight appeared.

“It’s really insidious.”

Asui said in a cold voice.

On the stage, Olympian talents who had recently been active in the entertainment industry were standing and immediately started singing.

It was very nice to see the spectacular dance using physical abilities that were superior to those of ordinary people and the use of abilities in the middle to add richness to the stage.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to treat us like enemies like this?”

Roan also seemed to think that she was going a little too far, so she spoke with anger in her voice.

“In times like this, the one who wins is on our side. We can win.”

As I was watching the gorgeous stage that turned us into enemies, I thought of Raven, who was the last corner people could lean on even though they were a group of assassins.

Even if they knew he was a bad guy, if it was helpful to them and if they showed overwhelming strength, public opinion would naturally follow.

“Yes. It’s good because it’s very simple to win.”

When the song reached its peak, Vulcan responded by drawing mana into his body.

*

“Two students coming up on stage. I’ll call them athletes because it’s more convenient to say ‘athletes’ now! The player with yellow hair on the right is Kam Shin-heung, who appeared in the video. He is a student at Olympus and uses lightning and martial arts. The player on the left is Vulcan Ludric, and as can be seen from his physique, he is said to use great strength.”

The caster’s voice echoed throughout the player waiting room.

It was a shame that I had to watch from a distance, but I don’t think it would be that bad to see the same screen as someone else.

“The stadium is equipped with a protective shield and life-saving system to protect the lives of the two players, so even if the game gets a little rough, no one gets hurt, so viewers don’t have to worry.”

‘If it’s like the one in Utopia, it’s not invincible.’

While thinking that, I looked at the two people standing face to face on the stage.

The two people facing each other on a stage without a judge took their respective poses and raised their mana.

Yellow lightning flashed as if it was about to jump out of Gam Shin-heung’s body, and Vulcan’s body was surrounded by a thin gray membrane.

“The game lasts 5 minutes, and the difference between victory and defeat is when one player is incapable of fighting. As this is the first match, I hope the two players will not be nervous and show all their skills.”

“It’ll be okay. Looking at the mana flowing from the two players’ bodies, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.”

“Is that so? Then I think you two are ready, so let’s start the match!”

Dang!!

The moment the sound of the ball resonated loudly, both Gamsinheung and Vulcan moved at the same time.

Kwaaaaang!

When Gam Shin-heung’s regime, wrapped in electric current, flew in, it was met with Vulcan’s regime.

At that moment, Gamsinheung’s mana swelled greatly, and a clone made of mana appeared next to him.

“Is this mainly about self-immolation?”

I thought that Gaze Hale might also have been researching skills that increase numbers.

In order to fight against the powerful Gam Shinheung, Vulcan made the energy surrounding his body larger and traces of Hyeonmu began to be engraved on the gray energy.

Everyone would think that Vulcan would have a hard time dealing with Gam Shin-heung, who strikes quickly and precisely, since there are two of them.

‘He’s the one who got hit by the afterflame blast the most.’

Vulcan was able to read all of Gamsinheung’s attacks.

Pop! Pop! Boom!

“Wow… Ah… “

The caster forgot to explain and just let out an exclamation.

“I expected it to be a battle of strength and speed, but both fighters have strength and speed. They are very spectacular.”

The narrator explained calmly, perhaps because he had the eyes to see the battle.

Only then did the caster come to his senses and tell the narrator what he was feeling.

“Ah! To be honest, I can’t really see the fight. It’s very fast. When Kam Shin-heung uses lightning-based stabs and roundhouse kicks with his clone his, Vulcan seems to be able to block them with Is that correct?”

“That’s right. The relative speed got faster as Kam Shin-heung gained additional attack power, but it’s not so fast that Vulcan can’t block it. Mana consumption has increased, but he still can’t hit, so it might be a good idea to change the method.”

As the commentator said, Gam Shin-heung’s attack was completely blocked by Vulcan.

Although he was using a basic technique along with his alter ego his, in the end, it was difficult to see it as a technique that could penetrate the basic technique and Vulcan’s defense.

Shin Heung-do must have sensed this, so he fell back with the clone, created one more clone, transformed both clones, and put on yellow gauntlets.

“Xian, is it similar to you?”

Asui saw that and said to me.

“I see. It’s pretty similar.”

It is standard for a person with ordinary abilities to surround their body or weapon with mana, but she does not need to separate it outside of her and then transform it.

Therefore, it can be said that it is a mana management method that is quite similar to mine.

Vulcan jumped towards Gamsinheung, who was equipped with a weapon, and Gamsinheung rotated his body greatly and released mana.

The sight of yellow beads filling the arena made me feel like I was going to use a pretty strong technique, but it disappeared in an instant.

‘Black hole.’

The beads sprinkled by Gam Shin-heung were sucked into the black hole held in Vulcan’s left hand.

Gamsung Heung lowered his posture a little to withstand her force, but at that moment, Vulcan swung his right fist, which had become huge.

Kwaaaaang!!!

The mana she had worked so hard to scatter disappeared in an instant and Vulcan’s strike, which came while she was unable to properly control her body, seemed to have hit her hard.

If you are hit by an attack like that, you should be pushed back, but since the black hole is pulling your body, you will instead be pulled by Vulcan.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that time, another strong arm began to appear on the right upper body of Vulcan.

‘Asura (阿修羅).’

Restricting the opponent’s movements and then beating them mercilessly.

Instead of being able to gain explosive power in an instant like me, Vulcan chose to take a lot of beatings for a long time.

As he beat Gam Shinheung with his huge gray fist, Vulcan began to gather all his strength into his true right arm.

The ultimate blow will be delivered after destroying the difficult-to-manage black hole.

‘But it will be difficult.’

Vulcan’s linkage, which had to do many things alone, including controlling the black hole and concentrating the control power of the gray power, had the disadvantage of being slow.

And Gamsinheung had the power to overcome that slow connection.

It’s so bad!

Gam Shin-heung, who became yellow lightning, moved very quickly behind Vulcan.

Vulcan realized that Gam Shin-heung could escape the black hole’s influence and immediately released it, but at that moment, lightning struck from all directions.

Quagga River!!!

After disarming the black hole, the gray strong arm created on the left side, and when he blocked the lightning with a total of six arms, Gam Shin-heung attacked directly from the front.

At that moment, as Vulcan tried to release the power he had gathered in his right hand, it became lightning again and soared into the sky.

Tremendous lightning began to fall again.

Kwakagaga River!!!

It doesn’t seem like it’s enough to pierce Vulcan’s defense, but the flashy lightning struck down and made it look like it was hitting the target.

“Do you think they are aiming for a time limit?”

“It seems they have figured out that if they go head-to-head, their chances of winning are slim.”

Considering the contents inside, I thought it would have already been over 5 minutes, but now 4 minutes have passed.

It’s a battle of whether Gam Shin-heung will create an opening for Vulcan and penetrate him, or whether Vulcan will somehow land a blow.

“I’m using it up.”

Asui Miyama said after seeing Vulcan’s movements.

He spread his six arms, which were gathered together for defense, and spread his fingers as if he were holding a ball.

Six black holes appeared in the hand, and Gam Shin-heung, who had been scattering thunderbolts from the sky, turned into lightning and began to be dragged away.

When the widely spread gray arms gradually came together and began to interfere with the six black holes, Vulcan threw a regime full of mana through them.

The strong force that Vulcan fired with all his might became thin and quickly deformed due to interference from the black hole.

Puhwaaaaah!!!

Gam Shin-heung, whose movements were blocked, tried to block the gray power by shooting out a thunderbolt, but was unable to block it completely and allowed the strike.

Dang!!

At that time, a ball was raised indicating that 5 minutes had passed.

The two heard the sound of the ball ringing and slowly recovered their mana.

“The match is over! I’m going to take the time to analyze this match before the next players start. We’ll adjust the speed so that even those who couldn’t see it clearly can see it clearly, so please keep watching!”

Vulcan, who returned to the players’ waiting room, spoke to us.

“If you calculate the score, wouldn’t you say I won?”

“It’s a draw due to timeout. Let’s take it out quickly.”

After hearing that, Asui shook his head and said.

“It’s a skill I can’t master perfectly yet. It will take a little more training.”

“Okay. Why don’t you bury yourself in the mountains like me and train? I’ll come back completely defeated.”

“Not yet. Wait.”

Roanna caught Asui who was about to go up to the stadium.
