Chapter 805

-By the way, isn’t this too much?

-Ban the left hand, ban the left foot, and ban the right foot. When he comes out, he will have to stand still and only use his right hand. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

-He won’t be able to do anything if the penalty goes wrong…?

-The content is really ridiculous. ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ -Showing something like this? In the celestial world? His confidence is real.

The viewers burst out laughing when they saw the penalties that filled the circle. Every penalty was fatal. Not using one arm…

Not using a weapon or using a different strange weapon… 

There was even one to not use magic power.

Hyeonu and Yeongchan didn’t reject anything and wrote them all down.

‘I have to f*ck him properly.’ Yeongchan had been embarrassed by Hyeonu just before the streaming, so he thought Hyeonu should suffer.

Nevertheless, Hyeonu was full of confidence. ‘How many new items and skills do I have...?’

It was the thought that he wouldn’t lose no matter what came out.

“Then I’ll spin it right away,” Hyeonu said and laid down the wooden sword in the center of the circle. Then he floated slightly in the air, grabbed the upper and lower parts of the wooden sword, and flicked it slightly.

“Let’s go!!! Unable to use magic power!!” Yeongchan shouted to the point of his face bursting when he saw the spinning wooden sword.

-Let’s go without weapons!

-Let’s go without one ring!

-Let’s go with no left foot!

-Let’s go with no right hand!

In line with Yeongchan, the viewers also shouted the penalty they wanted. The quickly spinning wooden sword started to slow down. The wooden sword slowed down before it stopped in an instant.

“It is a disappointing result. It is a weapon change.” Yeongchan read out the penalty at the place where the wooden sword was pointing.

A change of weapons was the easiest of the 32 penalties. Yeongchan looked down at the ground and added, “Oh, there is more written after this.” There was a bit more written after the change in weapon.

“The weapon that Alley Leader must use is an axe.”

The axe wasn’t an easy weapon to use. The viewers wondered if there was anyone among the rankers who used it.

-An axe? I wrote it down earlier. It really landed on it.

-It will be really fun if banning the left hand and right hand comes out as well.

-Then there is no point. He can’t hold the axe.

-Can he get caught like that? But I would also like to see him raise the axe once.

The viewers were surprised by Yeongchan’s words about the axe. It was because the image of the weapon called the axe was that powerful.

“I will spin the second and third one right away.” Hyeonu turned the wooden sword as if he was okay with the penalty of using an axe in the ranking battle.

-No left footed attacks.

-Remove one piece of equipment.

The results of the wooden sword roulette were quite plain. They were minor penalties compared to using the axe as a weapon.

‘I should take off my coat for the item.’

Hyeonu immediately decided on an item to take off. It was the worst item among those Hyeonu was wearing. Of course, it was an item of great value just for the advantage of being able to wear it on top of armor.

“I will take off this coat. Then the last penalty will be done, right? As for not attacking with my left foot... It is easy. Since when did I kick?” Hyeonu looked at the viewers with a confident expression on his face.

-Why am I so unlucky?

-I wanted a big blow.

-By the way, does he have an axe? Shouldn't that be the first thing?

-That’s right. He needs an axe.

-He must’ve prepared it in advance since he wrote it on the ground?

Now the attention of the viewers shifted to the axe Hyeonu would use for the ranking battle. The other two penalties were confirmed.

“The axe is here. All the weapons written on the ground have been prepared. Of course, there was nothing that was unique. My warehouse is a place which has nothing missing.” Hyeonu took out an axe with a blade that was just over one meter in size and shook it.

The axe had already been readied. No, it wasn’t just the axe. The long spear, short spear, longsword, dagger, claw, and so on—all the commonly seen weapons had been prepared in advance. There was nothing missing.

“Now that all the penalties have been decided, let’s start the ranking battle straight away.”

Hyeonu didn’t drag out the time and immediately started the ranking battle. Above all, the opponent wouldn’t appear just because the ranking battle was started. It would take some time until someone with a high enough ranking to match with Hyeonu appeared.

“Eh?” a cry of doubt emerged from Hyeonu’s mouth. At the next moment, Hyeonu’s figure disappeared from the arena.

***

[The ranking battle has started.]

Hyeonu frowned slightly at the message in front of him. Something unexpected had happened. There was a match the moment he started the ranking battle. It was as if someone had been waiting for Hyeonu to start the ranking battle.

At this moment, Hyeonu’s opponent appeared.

“Oh my, hello.” The opponent who appeared with a sly greeting was carrying a large spear on his back.

Hyeonu checked the opponent’s face and called out his name, “Teika?” 

“I met you by chance. Please take care of me, Alley Leader.” The man with the spear, Teika, greeted Hyeonu once again. Then he pulled out the spear on his back.

“It must be an illusion that you are aiming for me, right? Otherwise, I can’t get caught this quickly...”

“Ah~ you’re mistaken. How can I snipe Alley Leader? I am someone who knows my target.” Teika shook his head at Hyeonu’s words.

-The sniper shot hit. He was taking a break and turned it on the moment he saw a comment that Alley Leader will play a ranking battle.

-I even remember the comment. ‘He will take a penalty? Then it is worth a try.’

However, Teika’s excuse failed as the viewers who were watching Yeongchan’s livestream started to make reports.

“I see. I understand.” Hyeonu acted as if he hadn’t seen the chat. He nodded slightly and turned the axe in his hand. “I am asking for a good fight.”

The axe swung around and the sound of a heavy wind rang through the arena.

“Yes, please,” Teika replied. Right then, he kicked off from the ground of the arena and jumped forward. He moved fast enough to leave an afterimage and wielded his spear like a bolt of lightning. A bloody line appeared between Hyeonu and Teika.

Hyeonu swung his axe at the bloody line that reached his eyes. It was as fast as Teika’s spear.

An explosion broke out, and Teika’s body was pushed away. Teika slammed his spear down on the ground to regain the disordered balance of his body. Teika’s body, which was pushed back, suddenly stopped. Just then, Hyeonu used Mysterious Sky Steps and appeared above Teika’s head, instantly slamming down the axe.

‘I have to avoid it!’ Teika thought. He gave up the opposition and gave strength to his hand holding the spear, using this moment to step back. The ground where Teika had just been standing was now hollowed out. It was like a bomb had exploded.

Hyeonu’s attacks didn’t stop there and continued. He used the repulsive force generated when the axe hit the ground to make it soar back up in the air. Then he twisted his body slightly in the air and released it, amplifying his strength in an instant.

The amplified power was transmitted to the axe that Hyeonu was holding. Hyeonu’s axe weighed down the atmosphere as he narrowed the distance to Teika.

‘I will block it this time.’

Teika chose defense, not retreat. This time, he was planning to counter Hyeonu’s attack. It was because he decided there was no chance of winning if he just stepped back. There would be nowhere left to retreat if he were pushed back a few more times.

The image of a bloody dragon hovered over Teika’s spear. The bloody dragon and silver axe full of ominous purple pure energy collided. The purple pure energy lightly split apart the head of the bloody dragon. In the brief moment when the dragon-shaped pure energy split apart, Teika pulled back and managed to dodge Hyeonu’s pure energy.

“No, it is ridiculous. Does this make sense?” Teika muttered with a stunned expression.

The strike he had just delivered was one of the skills he was quite confident in. It wasn’t a lethal move, but it was a skill that guaranteed he wouldn’t be pushed back by anyone. However, it was useless in front of Hyeonu. It was shattered by an ordinary blow that didn’t seem to use any other skill.

“My axe is a bit strong.” Hyeonu laughed at Teika. He had known this would happen. It would always be the same result unless Teika completed his fifth class advancement and gained two epic items.

“Do the fifth class advancement and don’t mess around. Do you understand?” Hyeonu said. 

Simultaneously, he kicked off against the ground again and rushed at Teika. It was an ignorant offensive based on his extreme specs. Hyeonu’s axe was simply devastating. He didn’t yield to any of Teika’s attacks. The axe crushed everything it touched, be it the arena or Teika’s attack.

Teika received Hyeonu’s attack and complained inwardly in frustration, ‘It is too much.’ 

There was no chance to counterattack through Hyeonu’s offensive. It consisted of very simple attacks, but it was hard to break through. Hyeonu made great use of the axe’s characteristics. Teika’s blows were quickly and strongly shaken off.

‘Whoever sees it would think the axe is the main weapon,’ Teika thought. It was believable to say that Hyeonu had used the axe as his main weapon until his fifth class advancement. This was how well he used the axe.

‘I want to win...’ Teika wanted to overcome Hyeonu, who felt like an iron wall. This was why he immediately challenged Hyeonu when he heard Hyeonu would receive a bunch of penalties.

‘It is dirty, truly.’

However, there seemed to be no penalty. Hyeonu was still strong.

‘In any case, my fifth class advancement isn’t far away anyway...’

Teika decided to reveal his trump card. If he hid it tightly, it was likely he would lose without being able to do anything just like before. So Teika immediately mobilized all of his buff skills.

‘What? Is he saying to fight properly?’ Hyeonu’s eyes widened at Teika’s rare appearance. It wasn’t just Teika. It was rare for other rankers to show their best effort in the arena.

‘I have to fight properly as well.’ Hyeonu triggered an unused skill. The intense fighting energy that poured out of Hyeonu’s body engulfed Teika.

‘What is this?’ Teika had already anticipated it. He knew that he would receive huge debuffs if Hyeonu used all his power. Teika had experienced it many times, both inside and outside of the arena. It was just that this time, it was on a different level from the previous experiences. He definitely used buffs, but he felt like he was even weaker than before he used them.

‘I have to stop that fighting energy somehow...’ Teika sighed. There was no answer.

‘It can’t be helped.’ Teika put the long spear on his back. Then he raised both hands above his shoulders and approached Hyeonu.

“Are you surrendering?” Hyeonu asked as he looked at the approaching Teika.

Teika nodded.

Then he got closer to Hyeonu. Teika and Hyeonu were almost directly face-to-face as they whispered to each other and continued the conversation.

“I will surrender.”

After the conversation, Teika shouted that he would surrender and disappeared from the arena.
