“Wow, bro. Red lines appeared on the mask. Now, um… it looks like a demon mask?”

At Changbeom Joo’s words, I took out a hand mirror from my pocket and reflected the mask.

The plain white background of the mask blended with purple and red lines, making it look like a goblin, as Chang-beom Joo said.

hmm.

It’s nice that the level of the mask went up to legend, but it was getting louder and louder.

If you walk around like this, you will be able to receive all kinds of gazes.

‘Tsk.’

That’s a bit burdensome.

The performance of the mask is the king of the end, so there is no way not to wear it.

‘Status window.’

Tring!

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: Ren)] [Affiliation: Team Fighting Spirit]

[League: Lower League]

[Strength: 47 (+4)] [Agility: 51 (+3)] [Stamina: 57 (+5)]

[Spirit: 94 (+2)] [Intelligence: 16 (+2)] [Magic Power: 43 (+5)]

[Awakening Ability: ＜Super Sense＞＜Advanced Living＞＜Special Mana Management＞＜Advanced Spearmanship＞＜Superlative Swordsmanship＞＜Advanced Daggerskill＞＜Advanced Throwing＞＜Intermediate Boxing Technique＞＜Lesser Healing＞＜Advanced Archery＞＜Intermediate Swordsmanship Liquor＞＜Intermediate whipping＞＜Intermediate blunting＞＜Advanced martial arts＞＜Advanced Taoism＞]

[Skills (3/5): ＜Cloak of Silence＞＜Thunder God＞＜Breath of Thunder＞]

[Achievement Perks: None] [Dimension Perks: None] [Race Perks: None]

Currently my strength is 43 excluding lifts from equipment.

In addition, if you turn on the perk and the breath of thunder, and if you stack the strengthening of blood to the end, the stat rises by 65%.

At once, the strength stat increased by 28 points.

Considering that my strength stat was 68 before regression, it was a really ridiculous number.

‘Aside from the named players, I don’t think there’s any player in the lower leagues who can compete with me at this level?’

Super large co-main event caught 4 weeks later.

That day was awaited.

Tring! Tring!

Two calls that appeared when I was just laying in bed to sleep.

I clicked on the status window.

[A message has arrived from Aserian, the owner of Team ‘Future’.]

―This is an article about the co-main event 200. You might want to check it out!

―Named vs Named! Clash at Blood Knight 200!

A message from Aserian.

There was a link under it.

I clicked on the link and read the article.

‘There’s nothing special about it.’

In fact, it was more like a chirashi than an article.

It was just that in Blood Knight 200, two names and contenders would sortie in large numbers, one of the names was known as an elf, and the other was from the Moorim clan.

Below that, among the players who have confirmed their participation, I have listed the nicknames to keep an eye on, and among them, my nickname was included.

└ There are only a few names left in the lower leagues. I think I know a little bit about elves, but I’m a little curious about the fact that he’s from the Great Moon faction.

└ Elf nickname sharing point.

└ㅇㄹㅇ Maybe.

└Ah, I’m looking forward to this game. In the meantime, there weren’t many names entering the lower leagues, so I didn’t see many fights, but I have to watch this.

└Who do you think will win? I cast my vote for a member of the Moorim Daemun faction.

In the comments, the focus was on who the names really were.

I thought I had made a name for myself in the meantime, but it didn’t seem like it was still good for the names.

Oh, of course, my nickname was occasionally mentioned in the comments.

└ and Ren also appear. He’s really strong. Every time I see you, I get stronger. The appearance of slaughtering ants was just the name itself. Rather, he may outnumber the names mentioned above.

└ Yes, no. go back. You’re sucking on a guy you haven’t even heard of anywhere hahahahaha

└Ah, it’s not a name. There were no players who knew him. If it’s a name, you know all the kids from the same star system just by giving it a name.

└ I wonder what kind of system Ren is from. As for the weapons they use, they use swords, bows, spears, daggers, all sorts of things. Strangely, no information is available.

└ You’re from Murim—- It’s a costume, you just have to come inside and change it. Are you all blind? Can’t you see his movements? Looking at it, it seems that he doesn’t know much about magic, but he is from Baekta Moorim.

└ My eyes are strained. Moorim kids make nicknames like that? A passing kobold will laugh. They usually make it under their own nickname.

└ Judging from the black hair, it’s Murim, Earth, Nakatsukuni, or Jolbon. Excluding Earth, Nakatsukuni and Jolbondo have their own unique styles, so only Moorim remains. Moorim seems to be right ㅇㅇ

‘There is no god who thinks it will be Earth.’

I laughed while reading the comments related to me.

Well, that was a very natural thing.

In the first round, there were four players from Earth who were in the upper league at the time, including me.

Above that, it doesn’t exist at all.

Since it is a place where there are no players who have made a name for themselves that much, it made sense to exclude them altogether.

Players can only read the community anyway, and they can’t leave anything directly, so my information won’t be released.

‘In the first place, do four rooms know my nickname?’

We played a game together, but there was no way they could find out my nickname.

Every time I kill it, the nickname pops up, so I know who this guy is. Without the Devil’s Eye, there was no way to know the nicknames of the guys I didn’t kill.

‘Even before the massacre of the ants, there wouldn’t have been any clues.’

Of course, I participated in the bloody battle in the basement together, but only the team name, Fighting Spirit, was listed in the kill count, and my nickname was not found.

I didn’t bother to tell them my nickname, and in the farm, I’m only called Ahn Woo-jin.

So there was a high possibility that the four members did not know my nickname.

‘Ah, I might know.’

My nickname must have appeared in the review of the game we played.

The existence of a mask was a sufficient clue to infer my nickname.

Well, it didn’t matter.

Information won’t spread anyway unless Aserians transfer them to another team.

I closed the community and closed my eyes.

It’s been 6 months since I entered the Colosseum.

Having become so strong that I couldn’t even compare to the first playthrough, I was being compared to the bosses before I knew it.

Time passed quickly.

In the meantime, I have achieved more growth.

Once I was able to get one tier 1 item.

[＜Robe: Echo of the Moon＞]

[A robe made of special fabric that has received the moon’s energy. It can be used by borrowing the power of moonlight.]

[Ability increases in proportion to the size of the moon. up to 5%]

[Shut off the outside temperature.]

[It will never tear.]

[Rating: Legend]

A legendary level robe.

It seems to be jet-black, but at night, a crescent moon pattern appeared on its back.

There was a precondition for the full moon to rise, but it was an item that increased all stats by a whopping 5%.

“You’re going to come back with a great win this time as well, right?”

At Aserian’s words, I nodded.

Currently, it was only the two of us, Aserian, in the clearing.

Today is the day I participate in Blood Knight 200.

As the number of people inside the farm increased, I deliberately told the four members not to come out.

Because I felt like I was going crazy.

“how is it?”

After looking around the inside of the farm for a while, Aserian asked in a calm voice.

“What are you talking about?”

“Pam. At first, there was only an empty lot.”

“It has grown a lot. And it seems to be stabilizing little by little.”

“All of these things were possible thanks to Ahn Woo-jin.”

Aserian said confidently.

But I was very surprised by her words.

Aserian relies on me a lot, and doesn’t hesitate to learn something ungodly, but she is a supreme being, a goddess anyway.

Of course, the beings called gods here think like humans, feel like humans, and act like humans, not the omniscient and omnipotent gods in the Bible, but God is God anyway.

They are beings on a much higher level than we are.

He was praising me, saying that such an existence was thanks to me.

‘I’m serious.’

I don’t know if the devil’s eye works on her as a goddess.

But even if that wasn’t the case, I could tell by looking at her unmoving eyes.

Aserian continued.

“When the palm grows bigger, I will present a wonderful spear to An Woo-jin. therefore. never die It will be such a wonderful spear that you will regret hitting the ground when you die.”

At Aserian’s words, I smiled.

how to say

I was just helping her for a better training environment.

I didn’t mean to help her with that intention in the first place.

So I was even more shy and shy.

“All right. I will make sure to come back alive.”

It was the first time that Aserian told me not to die after the Red Flag battle.

But her heart made sense.

Because I also waited impatiently for the four room.

belt ring

[Lower league-Blood Knight 200 8 matches are over.]

[The co-main event will begin in a moment, so please prepare.]

From noble mtl dot com

Just in time, a gate was formed in the vacant lot with a notification window.

I trudged slowly toward the gate.

And before the gate, he spoke to Aserian.

“I’m coming.”

I fluttered my black robe and entered the gate.

Tring!

[Recovers all statuses to 100%.]

When I passed through the gate, I saw trees towering densely.

No matter how much I looked around, there were no high slopes, so it seemed to be a large-scale forest.

Far away, over the horizon, the sun was rising.

Morning will come soon.

Tring!

[Game: Let’s start the co-main event match of the lower league-Blood Knight 200.]

[Type: Individual Survival (Personal PvP)]

[Game Name: Dawn of Blood]

[Map: Eden Steppe (Middle)]

[Audience number: 47,274]

I spread a magic field around me.

The number of people felt is three.

One swordsman, one archer, and an axe… Huh?

‘An audience of 47,000?’

The moment I saw the number of spectators, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Is this the ripple effect of the named battle?

The audience was more than 30,000 more than usual.

‘good.’

If you show a great performance in this game, your base salary will rise vertically.

My current base salary is 5,000 points.

Here, the basic salary should be raised as much as possible.

Tring!

[Victory Condition: Whoever is alive at the end of the match]

[You will automatically be eliminated as soon as you cross the steppe.]

[If eliminated, you will die.]

[Current number of survivors: 5,000]

[There are bonus point conditions.]

[The bonus increases the more players you kill!]

[Kill Count Status – None]

[Time remaining until the end of the match: 72:00:00]

[The match starts in 3 seconds.]

Rules simpler than you think.

But the content was never simple.

A death match in which 5,000 players of semi-contender level or higher have to kill each other for 3 days.

The key is to avoid the strong and manage your stamina well.

[The match starts in 2 seconds.]

Currently, the number of players I can feel around me is three.

Unlike the red flag battle where no one was present, it meant that the population density was quite high.

That means it’s full of things to fight like crazy.

[The match starts in 1 second.]

In fact, I knew that one day I would receive a mission like this.

Even so, to imprison 5,000 people and change them.

It was a proof that the game maker was considering the interstellar battle that was to be held later as quite important.

[Start the match!]

The status window announced the start of the match.

As soon as I started, I turned on the perks first.

‘Apply the reverse puncture title.’

Tring!

[Apply ＜Mythic Achievement: Reverse Puncture＞.]

[All stats increase by +20% due to the effect of the title.]

The beginning of this game is the most important.

Because of the high population density, large-scale battles will unfold everywhere.

If you hold out for the first day, you will have time to hide in a secret place and recover your strength.

‘In the end, I’ll have to fight endlessly until then.’

I took the spear and headed in the direction of the archer first.

If you met a swordsman or a player holding an axe first, you could be shot by an archer.

‘Whoa.’

As he moved quietly, he saw an archer who was secretly scouting the surroundings from atop a fairly tall tree.

I aim for the moment when he comes down from the tree.

I dropped to the ground and hid myself among the knee-high grass as I slowly approached the tree the archer had climbed.

Fortunately, the archer didn’t spot me until I closed the distance by half.

‘Sup.’

An archer descending from a tree.

I took a breath and held it in.

And the moment he puts one foot on the dirt floor.

“Huh!”

I got up and ran towards the archer.

“What, what!”

Then the archer panicked and tried to climb the tree again.

But there was something he overlooked.

that’s right

hooked!

Tring!

[You have eliminated player ‘Godamyeon’.]

[Your HP is recovered by 1% with ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability.]

[All stats increase by 1% with ＜Blood Reinforcement＞ ability. (1/30)]

[The boost is reset if you don’t kill another creature within 3 minutes.]

That my weapon is a spear.

No matter how fast he climbed up the tree, he couldn’t avoid the long reach of his spear.

After killing the archer, I moved quickly.

Before many people get tangled up in a fight, you have to clear them out one by one.

As I passed through the trees and ran quickly, I saw a giant holding an axe.

‘Evil eyes.’

Tring!

[Check the opponent’s abilities.]

[Name: Kasbad]

[Disposition: Moderate]

[Muscle: 60] [Agility: 51] [Stamina: 54]

[Spirit: 49] [Intelligence: 9] [mana: 28]

[Awakening abilities: ＜Superlative ax skill＞＜Advanced life skill＞＜Intermediate mana management＞＜Intermediate boxing technique＞＜Low healing technique＞＜Intermediate throwing technique＞]

After confirming the abilities of the giant, Kasbard, I turned on the breath of thunder without hesitation.

And ran towards the guy.

“Where!”

Despite my sudden appearance, Kasbad did not panic and raised a huge axe.

His level is top-notch ax skill.

It was a skill comparable to the Victor I met before.

But he was no match for me.

“Offer you as a sacrifice for the start of this game, kkeok!”

The moment my spear and ax touched, he flinched.

It was because of the effect of Thunder God, which had the energy of lightning in Mana.

Every time he touched my spear, he would be given a thrilling electric shock.

“Job, kkeueuk, miscellaneous skills!”
