Returner of the Colosseum

Episode

56 . Greatest Of All Time(6)

[Current number of survivors: 38]

When I went to the place where my alter ego was, various star system players were raiding my alter ego.

None of them were from Westeros.

A well-organized composition in the form of a raid, rather than fighting while keeping each other in check.

It seemed that the players, who realized that they could not kill my alter ego at this rate, formed a strategic alliance.

‘The game doesn’t work.’

Almost all of the remaining survivors were struggling to capture one of my clones, but the gap was too great.

It is safe to say that it was not a battle, but a massacre.

“f*ck! A tanker can’t block only two attacks?”

“It’s too fast! You have to tie your legs first!”

“I know that too! I can’t stop breaking through!”

My alter ego was breaking through the crowds of players and killing them one by one.

At this rate, it will soon be annihilated.

‘It’s good to fight after the bloody enhancement perk ends.’

Currently, the difference between me and my alter ego is 37 points when calculated based on the total stats.

However, if both bloody enhancement perks are turned off, it will be reduced to 15.

The fact that the perk was turned off would be enough to fill the gap with him.

‘The problem is that I don’t know when his perks will be turned off.’

What if the Blood Enhanced perk was just turned on?

Can I run away from him for 30 minutes from now?

I shook my head.

Currently, the remaining time for the Enhance My Blood perk is 18 minutes and 27 seconds.

If he had more time left than me, the difference in stats after 18 minutes would be vast.

‘Running away is a pass.’

can’t even hide

In such an open arena, I don’t have enough stealth skills to avoid his super senses.

Ultimately, to minimize risk.

‘We have to see the match in 18 minutes.’

After clearing my mind, I jumped into the battlefield where the alter ego was fighting.

“It’s Ren!”

“for a moment! We intend to kill the alter ego, I have no intention of wielding a sword against you…!”

Awesome!

And started killing players.

A few players let me know they had no hostility, but I killed them all regardless.

Because red light emanated from his body.

‘Even if it wasn’t a lie, I would have killed him.’

Unless they were named, they were just walking health potions.

Rather than being eaten by the alter ego, it was better for me to kill him and restore his health.

Kwajijijijijik!

“Damn it, I wanted to kill even his alter ego…”

Awesome!

Silence hung over the arena, ending with the low-pitched roar.

[Current number of survivors: 1]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Earth’ 3 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Westeros’ 2 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Moorim’ 2 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Alfheim’ 1 kill]

[3rd place. ‘Jolbon’ 1 kill]

[3rd place. ‘Babylon’ 1 kill]

Number of survivors left 1.

The number of remaining named clones is also 1.

In the end, he and I were left alone.

– A strange situation has arisen. In the end, only one player and one named clone survived until the end, and Ren was the only one.

―Actually, I thought Ren would be the first to die among the named alter egos. Although he did a great job in this star battle, I thought he was still lacking compared to previous names.

―I thought so too, but when I actually opened it, the result was completely different.

-yes. No other name has ever been as overwhelming as Ren.

―I guess I have no choice but to admit it now. In the GOAT competition, Ren has no choice but to put his name on it.

Kwajijijik-

A red thunderbolt rose from my alter ego’s body.

It looked very bizarre to see him wearing a demon mask with his entire body covered in a black robe.

momentary lull.

‘I just hope the wall doesn’t explode.’

Currently, the only abilities that I have an advantage over him are mind and magic.

I had to use thunderbolt as much as possible to attack him while building up damage, but there was no way I could do anything about the thunderbolt that burst in the middle.

‘I really hate this situation.’

All I can do is hope it doesn’t explode.

S Gang!

Then my alter ego came in, piercing the spear at breakneck speed.

‘I have to avoid head-to-head confrontation!’

I quickly fell backwards and tried to slam the spear sideways.

Then, the trajectory of the spear he stabbed quickly changed, prompting me to fight.

‘Where!’

I also quickly changed the trajectory of the spear and confronted it.

visor!

Kwajijijijik!

When the spears collided with each other, thunderbolts of my clone and I swept the surroundings.

In an instant, I felt tremendous pain.

Poof! Whiik! swish swish!

His spear bent like a snake, aiming only at the vital points.

‘sh*t. Won’t I give you time to build up the damage?’

He’s using his physical superiority to induce me to fight head-to-head.

It could be dangerous if this situation continues.

I’ll be the first to get out before the damage builds up.

visor!

“Keugh!”

As I was forced to block, my body kept pushing back.

Both hands were tingling.

The grip holding the spear seemed to burst.

It was then.

‘Gap!’

The guy who had been pushing without a break swung his spear wide, probably intending to finish it off.

As a result, a crack formed in the shield of the guy who blocked my spear like an iron wall.

I immediately lowered my stance and tried to jump into his arms.

for a moment.

Are there sudden gaps?

At such an exquisite moment?

‘trap!’

I immediately stopped myself.

Whoa!

Then I saw the window of a guy passing by just barely in front of my eyes.

sh*t.

You were seducing me.

‘It’s difficult.’

Now that this was the case, even if I could see his gap in the future, I couldn’t stab him.

I can’t tell if it was intentional or accidental.

visor! Chaechaechaeng!

As soon as I saw through his intentions, the clone’s spear blatantly charged at me to fight.

Seeing that, I smiled bitterly.

‘Gomyeong must have felt like this.’

I couldn’t figure out how to attack him.

If there wasn’t much difference in stats, I wouldn’t have been pushed helplessly like this.

‘Let’s start by thinking about creating an opportunity.’

I immediately hit the clone with a spear and went in.

He changed his style from a strategy of trying to accumulate damage with thunderbolts while draining his attacks as much as possible to a head-to-head confrontation.

If until now I was looking for an opportunity waiting for him to make a mistake, now I will create an opportunity by tearing it down with my power.

‘f*ck.’

Then, the alter ego also changed its movements to match my changed style.

Now, rather, he started to shed my spear.

Even if he wanted to create an opportunity by tearing it by force, it was intended to block it from the beginning so that he could not.

‘Let’s see where and how long we can follow.’

I immediately changed my style to match his movements.

* * *

└ What is it? Why is the clone moving faster than Ren? Is Ren really below average stats?

└ Wow. Really crazy hahahahaha how many times did he change his movements in that short moment?

└ Each other continues to counter the opponent’s style ㅋㅋ It’s really bad…

└Wow… Is it true that I’m looking at the lower league right now?? I’m getting goosebumps right now; I never expected to see such a high level game.

└ I really look forward to Jo Onna. Send him to a higher league soon. Proceed, come on!

└ The stat difference seems quite large. Just how low were Ren’s original stats? What the hell did you do to get your stats to jump like that? Doesn’t it make you much stronger if you get the star system perk here?

* * *

It was a time when they continued to fight in numbers for a while and withstood the attacks of their clones.

Whoaaagh!

Anxiety crept in for a moment.

The back of my neck was stiff, and goose bumps came up all over my body.

It was a feeling I had experienced for the first time.

‘what?’

The spear of an alter ego that is striking at me.

For some reason, I felt like I couldn’t block that attack.

The reason was unknown.

It’s just that something inside me continues to scream silently.

‘I think I’ll suffer a bigger loss if I avoid it.’

In the current situation, it would be much more beneficial to spill the spear and stab it in reverse.

But what if you avoid it here? It was clear that the alter ego would continue to drive me back.

‘sh*t. Let’s avoid it.’

But I followed the will of the instinct that resounded inside me.

It was the first time this had happened, so I thought there must be a reason.

It was time to step back like that.

Weee

Instantly, a tremendous light came out of the clone’s window with the sound of air bursting.

It was as if a flash of light had passed by.

aaa!

Then, a tremendous roar hit the eardrums.

A terrifying thunderbolt swept through all directions.

‘Thunderbolt!’

I broke out in a cold sweat after barely getting out of the range of the thunder force.

Goosebumps ran like crazy all over my body.

If it wasn’t for my instincts, my whole body would have exploded and I would have died.

As I dodged the thunderbolt, my alter ego also opened its eyes wide in surprise beyond the mask.

‘I barely lived. But why did I suddenly feel this sense of danger?’

I’ve never had anything like this before.

As if to prove that, my instincts remained silent despite the attacks of the alter ego.

I had never felt this feeling before, even when I was fighting Soho, Gomyeong, or the fan woman before returning.

‘Could it be felt only when a skill capable of instant death is activated?’

But this was just a hypothesis.

It seemed that more cases would be accumulated to know for sure.

‘For now, let’s focus on the battle.’

visor! Chaechaechaeng! visor! visor!

After that, the tedious war of attrition continued.

What is certain is that my side is at an overwhelming disadvantage.

As I moved more to cover the stat gap with him, my stamina was rapidly dropping.

My alter ego pressured me thoroughly to prevent me from creating opportunities.

‘This terrible bastard.’

-Ah, that’s embarrassing. Ren struggles as best he can, but the clone won’t let him do anything. It literally seems to be slowly squeezing the prey caught in a spider’s web.

―Ren must be frustrated right now. Even though you continue to lose little by little, you won’t see a way to overcome the situation.

―However, this battle allowed us to see the true face of Ren. In the end, wasn’t the alter ego created based on the data that Ren himself had fought so far? It’s a series of really great number fights that take your breath away. If you have the same software, it’s only natural that the one with the better hardware wins.

There are only 5 minutes left for the Blood Enhancement perk.

In short, if I can’t defeat him within 5 minutes, this match will be my loss.

Of course, his blood enhancement perk could be unlocked before then, but that was just my wish.

Whoo! Poof! Poof!

And I could tell from the way my alter ego wasn’t impatient and tightened up little by little.

There was no way he could be so relaxed if the bloody enhancement perk had less than 5 minutes left.

‘I must have raised the number of wins before that somehow.’

I was out of breath.

Even time raised the hand of the alter ego.

A stat gap that is hard to overcome.

Impenetrable defense that leaves no gaps.

Even though his stats are much higher, he has the patience to not be impatient.

‘f*ck. I learned a lot thanks to you, son of a b*tch.’

I swung the spear even more vigorously.

for the rest of the time.

I was thinking of burning this one body white.

S Gang!

In an instant, blood splattered and I felt a burn in my left shoulder.

I didn’t care and continued to dig into the guy.

Kwajijijijijik!

The alter ego’s spear flew in, creating a flash of light.

Beyond the superlative level of concealing one’s will, a high-level stab that hides momentum.

That’s why, watching that attack, I don’t feel uncomfortable.

It was because I couldn’t fathom how threatening an attack that was.

‘sh*t. How can I overcome that sting?’

If I could occupy this entire space, I would be able to block that attack.

I also stabbed the spear against the clone’s spear.

Kwajijijijijik!

My spear stretched out in a straight line.

If only I could scatter these straight lines countless times.

So maybe I can occupy this area?

With such thoughts in mind, it was time to stretch out the window.

‘what?’

I was stabbing myself in the wrong place without realizing it.

It was a move driven by my instincts.

I feel like I have to stab a window here for some reason.

I wonder if it felt like that.

There was so much confidence in that feeling that I just followed my instincts and stabbed the spear in a state close to trance.

Then an amazing thing happened.

Paba Baba Baba Park!

A single straight line was being split into small pieces, creating an enormous number of lines.

“…!”

“…!”

Numerous lines engulfed the space in an instant.

Tring!

[You have awakened ＜Super Spearman＞.]

Awesome!
