Returner of the Colosseum

Episode

42 . Star Wars (1)

The morning after Blood Knight 200 ended.

Tring!

[You have been selected as a participating member of the interstellar battle ‘Earth’.]

[Participating members are up to the top 1,000 members of each system.]

[The star system competition consists of a total of 10 matches, and you get ‘Dimensional Privilege’ when you win the final.]

[Even if you die in the Arena of Star Wars, you will be resurrected.]

[One person can participate in a total of 5 matches, and there is no limit on the number of participants.]

[Dimensional perks have different effects depending on the ratio expected by gamblers.]

―My hunting skills are the best (individual PvM)

―Teamwork is life (group PvP)

―Speed Race (Individual PvP)

―Hunting raid bosses (group PvM)

―Story Mission (Individual PvP)

―Stellar group battle (group PvP)

―One-on-one strongest (individual PvP)

―Surviving in Hell (Individual PvP)

―Story mission (group PvP)

―Battle with previous names (group PvP)

[Please select 5 matches. If you do not choose within 24 hours, it will be determined randomly.]

While I was stretching, a message window popped up.

And 10 items listed.

Fortunately, the part that worried me the most remained the same.

‘Up to 5 matches per person can participate.’

This means that about 500 players in each district alone participate in each game.

Without this provision, the Earth would not win even if it died.

How can I lead to victory in about one game, but there will be no victory in the other nine games.

Of course, it won’t be easy because, like me, players from other planets also participate in various matches.

Still, there was a difference between the impossible and the difficult, like heaven and earth.

‘The number of participants per game must be staggering.’

Since there are 12 star systems, it was a very large game with as many as 12,000 people competing.

When I turned my head and looked at the four people, everyone was concentrating on warming up.

It seemed that I was the only one who had a message window pop up.

In other words, in Team Fighting, only I participated.

‘I thought Chang-beom Joo would be selected, but I’m surprised.’

Since the number of players with excellent skills is so small in Earth, I thought that only a master pitcher would be able to enter, but it seems that it is still not enough.

In a word, it meant that there were 1,000 players who were stronger than Chang-beom Chang.

‘Tsk. I’ll have to roll more.’

The items of the game were the same as the first round.

Oh, of course, I also couldn’t participate in the star battle in the first round.

Because it didn’t make it into the top 1,000.

Still, since it was such a huge event, I knew at least what kind of game was played and how it was played through the community.

‘I have to run mainly in individual PvP.’

That way, the odds were high.

If I play group PvP with players from Earth, the power gap I have to fill will be too big.

I had no choice but to play mainly in individual PvP.

As I had thought in advance, I chose to fight with the best one-on-one, survive in hell, speed race, and hunting skills, and battle with previous names.

‘My level is a bit higher than Seomunchang’s, and Arwen’s was a bit lacking.’

However, if you prepared a lot in advance, the possibility was sufficient.

[The match selection is complete.]

[The interstellar battle will be held in place of the Blood Knight 202 game in the next two weeks.]

I closed the message window and connected to the community.

At the same time as the notice went out to the players, this or that information would have started to be released.

When I entered the community, as I expected, a huge number of posts were coming up.

―A lower league, a total of 10 matches will be held!

―Colosseum first! A large-scale event on a system level!

―An event that is only available in lower leagues. What is the Star Wars?

I clicked through the posts one by one to check them out, but there was nothing particularly special about them.

That means that the battle against the star world will unfold as it did in the first round.

‘Fortunately, the butterfly effect didn’t change the interstellar war.’

I checked the comments with a sigh of relief.

The reaction of the gods was truly explosive.

└ and;; How many people are participating in the star system competition?

└ Aren’t there hundreds of millions of kids belonging to lower leagues? Are there realistic maps that these guys can play at once?

└ㄴㄴ Looking at the above, it is said that only the top 1 to 1,000 players in each system are selected to play the match.

└ Bastards who always say that Moorim is the best, this time they will be able to show the difference in level ㅇㅇ Let’s go to Westeros!

└ Up to 1,000 players in each system, it is important how many names and contenders you have hahahaha In that sense, Alfheim seems to be the most advantageous.

The gods were arguing over which system was the strongest.

‘In the first round, Moorim won in the end.’

Even if you are a newcomer to the Colosseum, there is no one who is not a master.

Thanks to their thick depth, they were able to win the Star Wars and obtain the dimensional privilege of +3 to all stats.

Thanks to this, the already strong Murim people began to stand out in both higher and higher leagues.

‘We must obtain the dimensional perks.’

It meant more than simply making me stronger.

If already strong Murim, Alfheim, or Westeros acquire dimensional privileges, it will be like a tiger gaining wings.

That much should be blocked.

In the first playthrough, the district’s ranking was 12th.

In a word, it was last.

But this time it will be different.

‘I will definitely win.’

Because I am on Earth

Dinner time after afternoon training.

After eating, I headed straight to Aserian’s office.

smart-

“Yes, come in.”

When I opened the door and entered, Aserian, who was writing something hard, tilted his head.

“What are you doing, Ahn Woo-jin?”

“You’ve been organizing your list of items before, right? I came to see if I could see it.”

“There must be no better item than the one that Ahn Woo-jin is wearing right now, right?”

Aserian was puzzled, but pulled out a bundle of papers neatly tied with string among the piles of papers piled high.

The documents that Aserian handed over seemed to be over 500 pages.

‘How on earth do I find it all at once?’

I burst into laughter as I received the bundle of papers from Aserian.

There are 8 towers stacked up to my height.

Aserian showed a miracle of picking out only the documents I wanted from among them.

“I want to take this opportunity to create a set of items that can be worn for each situation. Well, for example, agility…”

“From page 293 to page 298, there will be items that only increase agility.”

“Muscle strength or something…”

“Only strength increases from page 112 to page 116.”

“Or maybe it’s that your strength and agility increase…”

“That’s page 417!”

“…”

I was speechless at the sight of Aserian answering right away.

How do you remember that among all these papers?

Information processing power comparable to that of a supercomputer.

Maybe it was because of a sneak peek at one side of his tremendous ability, but the smiling Aserian looked especially great today.

“I will see you well.”

“yes. Then I’ll have some dinner. Oh, you can look at the other documents to your heart’s content. Be at ease.”

While Aserian was away, I organized the necessary items while looking at the page Aserian took.

What I need is a certain increase stat item.

It was all-in strength, all-in agility, and items that only raised strength and agility.

‘I would normally wear items that increase all stats evenly, except for intelligence.’

A situation where you already know what mission will come out.

Depending on the mission, it would be more efficient to wear items that raise only the most necessary stats.

‘It’s really well organized.’

The documents were organized so that they could be seen at a glance by equipment type and effect.

Thanks to that, I thought it would take more than an hour to pick out the items, but I was able to finish it in 20 minutes.

‘Let’s see some other things.’

I would have told you to take a look at Aserian anyway, and wondering what other useful information there might be, I got up from my seat and took out the piles of documents one by one and read them.

There were many things that would be very useful to know in the Colosseum, such as how to survive by terrain, synergy of skills, how to deal with each weapon, and the characteristics of each star system.

‘When the hell did you get this all sorted out?’

This level of detail meant that Aserian personally watched the match and analyzed it one by one.

There must be a lot of work to do…

“Have you found all the items you want?”

After finishing dinner, Aserian returned to the office.

“Yes, thanks. But when did you get this all sorted out?”

“Ah, I made it while watching games in my free time. Since Ahn Woo-jin set the frame for the actual battle, I’m going to educate the players in the theoretical part.”

and.

I couldn’t help but admire Aserian’s words.

Why the hell didn’t I hear the name Team Fighting Spirit in the first playthrough?

A god so capable is managing it?

‘If you combine theory with skills, the survival rate will definitely rise exponentially.’

However, there was only one reason why I couldn’t take care of the theoretical part until now.

In order to teach the theoretical part, I have to systematically organize the things I have experienced.

It means that you have to classify the information scattered by Jung-gu Heating while writing it directly on paper.

The problem is that it takes a lot of time to sort it out.

My time was too precious to spend so much time establishing the theoretical parts one by one.

“When can you start training?”

“Are the contents okay?”

“Everything is fine. Perhaps the survival rate of newcomers coming in will increase significantly.”

“thank god. There are still some things to analyze, so I think it will take a few more weeks before I can start training.”

At my answer, Aserian let out a sigh of relief.

While analyzing the game, it seemed that he wasn’t sure if this would help.

But I was sure.

This will be of great help to me as well as to really new recruits and small groups.

“If you start training, I want to hear it too.”

“Oh, really? hehehe, finally the day has come for me to train with An Woo-jin! Please wait a little longer. I’ll clean it up perfectly!”

Aserian smiled and said.

In the next few weeks…

You will probably be able to hear it after the Star Wars are over.

I have already been waiting for the day to receive Aserian’s theoretical education.

After leaving Aserian’s office and returning to my room, I lay down on the bed.

Today’s work is over.

It’s free time from now on.

I opened the system window and entered the brokerage exchange.

[Owned Gold: 11,253,070 G]

The current gold holding is 11 million.

I was thinking of upgrading my specs again with this gold.

What I felt while fighting Arwen was that my defense against magic was very weak.

So, I planned to purchase a skill or item that could effectively defend against magic.

But even after looking around for a while, I couldn’t find the kind of skill or item I wanted.

‘There’s nothing useful.’

Only skills or items that raise stats.

Occasionally, there were magic weapons with built-in shield magic, but those were for long-distance dealers.

The shield was useless against the violently moving melee physics.

It was then.

‘uh? What is this?’

[＜Skill Book: Magical Offset＞]

[Passive]

[Offsets attacks with magic in proportion to your magic power.]

[5% Magical Offset per 10 Magical Stats]

[Offset up to 50%.]

[Price: 2,800,000 G]

As much as one’s own magical power… Offsets an attack imbued with magical power?

Are you ignoring magic?

That’s why…

If the mana value is 100, it reduces the damage by half.

‘lion.’

I clicked buy without hesitation.

Tring!

[You purchased ＜Skill Book: Magical Offset＞ for 2,800,000 G.]

[You purchased ＜Consumables: Unicorn Horn＞ for 100,000 G.]

[You purchased ＜Consumables: Unicorn Horn＞ for 100,000 G.]

[You purchased ＜Consumables: Unicorn Horn＞ for 100,000 G.]

He also bought unicorn horns while purchasing magic offset.

A skill book and three horns appeared in my hand.

I tore the skill book first.

Tring!

[You have learned Skill: Magical Offset.]

[Magic offset rate: 25%]

The current net mana without perks is 51.

If you take blood reinforcement to full stack as a perk, you get 76.

That means you can block up to 35%.

There.

‘If I use all of this unicorn’s horn, I’m sure it’ll be over 100.’

Then you can raise it up to 50%.

In fact, I had no idea how high 50% was.

Anyway, most magic is powerful enough that even if the damage is reduced by half, the body explodes.

So I’m not sure if this 50% will help me.

However, it is not a situation that can be tested without a single wizard in the team.

‘I have no choice but to go into the arena and check it out.’
