Chapter 316 – Final Battle (4)
The moment the dice that Sagittarius rolled showed six dots, something changed. Subtle elements such as the flow of air touched my nerves.
Strangely, I didn’t have the courage to attack a goblin the size of an 8-year-old child. It wasn’t the fear of facing a wild beast with his bare body. It wasn’t like the house was swept away by a huge hurricane.
It was just natural. The naturalness of the sun rising and the wind blowing. I felt like I couldn’t beat the goblin no matter what I did.
I’ve faced so many strong enemies so far, but I can’t believe I get this feeling as soon as the battle starts. It was clearly a strange situation.
As far as I know, the only thing that could cause this situation was skill. Were Sagittarius’ dice meant to manipulate the opponent’s mind?
Like Lulu’s voice?
“Johan! Sagittarius is a trainer raised by a trainer from the Central League! He’s a famous trainer, so I found the information quickly!”
Sophia recited the list of Sagiruki’s skills. Throwing dice, manipulating dice, changing dice.
Sagittarius’ talents are gambling and luck.
“By manipulating luck with the dice, you bring good luck to yourself and bad luck to your opponent! In the central league, it is called the luck tech tree, and although it can only be used in one battle, it is a joker card that will definitely catch your opponent…”
“Okay.”
Sophia was discouraged, but I wasn’t. It’s a scam. Doesn’t the name give off the scent of a scammer?
In the 21st century as well as the 22nd century, Korea was also full of fraudsters. We must punish goblins who cheat in sacred battles.
That’s right. I was not just a minion. Right now, at this moment, I was a representative of the strict law.
“Law compliance punch!”
I tried to run over and punch him, but the staff got in the way. Unfortunately, I stepped on a stone.
The place I stepped on to regain my balance was softer than the rest of the ground and slightly caved in. My ankle almost broke because I stepped on the ground sideways instead of on the sole.
-Giggle
It was an unexpected misfortune, but not enough to cause injury. He ran again and threw his fist out, and sand got in his eye.
He tried to hold back his discomfort and opened his eyes, but tears came out. In blurred vision. Sagittarius, who was taking a step back, was seen stumbling after stepping on something wrong.
It was an unexpected movement, so his fist missed. Successive attacks were similarly avoided.
I have experienced things in succession that I never experienced even when I was level 1, so I know how scary luck manipulation is.
“This is luck manipulation?”
-Giggle.
Sagittarius laughed mischievously. It was a laugh that would make even a saintly gentleman break an earthenware pot.
Good night. Let’s admit that his skills are amazing. But the battle begins now.
I haven’t had any injuries yet. I just experienced a few unfortunate events.
Although I wasn’t able to hit my opponent even once, I still had a lot of time left. There is no time limit to the battle, so you can just try until the goblin’s stamina runs out.
“Law compliance kick!”
I suddenly threw a kick and stepped on a stone again. This time, Sagittarius did not stay still.
While I was retrieving my leg, I rolled the dice. It was a different ivory dice than before.
The number that came out was 6. A goblin-style steampunk tank appeared.
-Giggle!
The goblin on the tank touched various things. The gun barrel pointed towards me and I quickly dodged, but the tank that was adjusting its trajectory stepped on something and tilted sharply.
Boom!
Quite by chance, the muzzle was pointed towards me, and just by chance, the gun fired.
A physical warhead, not a laser or a beam, hit me. I wanted to avoid it, but it was too late because the wind was so strong that it was difficult to move.
Poop!
I was hit by a warhead and took a few steps back. The shell lodged in the abdomen exploded and rolled several times on the floor.
The damn tank regained its balance thanks to the recoil from the gun.
I tried to avoid the cannons firing at me, but I changed my mind when I had the misfortune of a cannonball passing by exploding and a cannonball hitting the floor bouncing off without exploding and hitting my back.
-Giggles
Sagittarius rolled the dice again. This time 5. The field that was once lush with vegetation turned into a battlefield.
The moment I stepped on the floor without caring.
Kkiri
Boom!
The mine exploded. There was also a land mine where it was blown away by the impact. Another explosion. And then it explodes again.
Five times I had the misfortune of being swept away by an explosion and finding a landmine in the place where I was blown away. As I woke up bleeding profusely and chanting self-healing words, the opponent’s tank had changed.
That thing was no longer called a tank. Land battleship. Or, the term ‘moving castle’ was more appropriate.
The land battleship, with eight brass-colored legs and 20 guns, looked like it was about to explode at any moment. There was no way that an object made by tying together scrap materials would move properly.
But it moved just fine. The shells fired indiscriminately were aimed squarely at me.
If you dodge, you step on a mine. Even if you do not dodge, you are swept away by the explosion and fly away, landing at the location of the mine.
Should I lose like this without even using my hands? I felt weak, but I shook it off.
Overwhelming bad luck. Many gamers in Korea have experienced the same misfortunes that they say they should have in real life.
Something like server lag. Because of the difference in ping with overseas users, what you dodged ends up being hit and not what you hit.
The virtual reality connector suddenly stops due to an error, etc. I am the one who overcame many difficulties and took first place.
There was nothing special about how to overcome the difficulties. It was just skill.
No matter how good your opponent’s luck is, if the difference in skill is too great, you are bound to lose. It was like a mosquito buzzing in my ear right before I fell asleep.
It may take a lot of trouble to catch it, but isn’t it human that wins in the end?
“I admit it, scammer Lucky. You are equal to or better than a mosquito.”
-Kiik?
The goblin piloting the land battleship tilted her head and fired a cannon. I walked while checking the trajectory of the cannonball.
Landmines are not naturally occurring objects. I narrowed the distance by stepping only where there were traces of the explosion.
Boom!
Sagittarius threw the dice and the mine was refilled.
“Naked armor”
“Giantization.”
Wear armor to reduce the impact. To avoid being blown away by the explosion, he grew bigger and moved forward.
At the time of World War I didn’t know if it was the first or second world war. It reminded me of the general who led the cavalry and attempted to charge a tank.
Later generations evaluated him as reckless. It was the same for me, who came across the anecdote through a cartoon.
But now that I am running towards him, trusting only his body, my thoughts have changed.
The reckless action was correct. But what did the general think when he charged at the iron block with a short sword?
What kind of preparation did the cavalry that followed the general have in charging? Wasn’t he determined to catch even one and change the course of the battlefield?
Thinking about the flow, the strange atmosphere at the beginning of the battle came to mind. I also remembered the momentum expressed by the players who participated in the competition.
In any game, flow and momentum were important. Isn’t it is not uncommon for giant killings to occur, where a weak team that has gained momentum by riding the trend well catches a strong team?
If I had to guess, I’m closer to the giant side, but I didn’t want to go into detail. What was important was the flow.
How should we change the flow? Can this be changed simply by moving the body well and hitting the opponent a lot?
No. There have been many times when I unintentionally carried the momentum. When using impregnation on a female minion. When Bochucagi, who was Meschu’s minion, was physically attacked.
When dealing with Shinpago’s minion robots and acquiring the skill called Fire Truck Game, etc.
Enlightenment has come.
Why do humans, who are considered the weakest race, continue to live without being ignored in the ‘Game of Gods’?
Why did the winner of the championship include a human being?
Humans are the race for which it is best said that although the beginning may be humble, the end will be great. Until now, I thought I had risen to the top based on skill and talent, but that wasn’t the case.
I achieved victory over physically superior or technologically superior minions. Talent and skills may have helped, but the most important thing was my unwavering heart.
The will to change the impossible into possible. In other words…
“Human Hymn.”
The human potential to overcome adversity without giving in to supernatural phenomena.
Actually, I was curious why Sophia used a lottery ticket for me, a human. In the beginning, there was only one planet, but through the ‘Game of Gods’, we obtained Mars, where the earth spirit lives.
If you wanted a different race, you could hold out as a temporary human entry, then get a planet where a race with high initial stats lives, and use the lottery ticket there.
But Sophia chose humans. She decided that she had taken a gamble to select a servant who was gifted with talent and skills like me.
It wasn’t. Sophia believed in human potential. I chose humans despite the initial slump.
By chance, I was selected and achieved the feat of having no wins and no losses. Of course, Sophia may have different thoughts, but does it matter?
That’s what I believe. Anyway, the goddess’s will was passed on to humans, and they blossomed.
I moved forward, gaining enlightenment. Minefields and heavy fire did not break my will.
I raised my head and looked straight at Sagiruki. A flow of luck linked to the dice was visible.
Is it used as a joker card that guarantees one win in the Central League? It’s a battlefield filled with level 5 minions, and this is the newbie league.
There is a level 2 limit, so I wonder if there are any shortcomings.
He moved forward honestly. Even the bad luck he manipulated couldn’t break my will. It was difficult and caused a crack.
Soon it could not hold on and fell apart. The moment when an intangible crack turns into a tangible sculpture and scatters light. Sagittarius cried.
-Kick? Key profit!
They struggled, saying they couldn’t lose like this, but they advanced, crushing the land battleship and crushing the goblins. Ignore the small resistance and just do it.
