Chapter 22 – Chapter 22 Hierarchy-4
The day the decisive battle with Qudoran takes place.
In the waiting room of the Colosseum, the basement was seated.
“Okay then…”
As I turned my magic, the shadow instantly shrunk by half.
As the tip swayed, his black hand popped out.
It was the shadow hand, an exquisite special ability that caught the enemy off guard.
“But even Quodoran knows this much.”
It is a well-known fact that the underground possesses magical powers, and that it can capture enemies with the Shadow Hand.
If I had collected information, there was no way I wouldn’t know.
“It’s easier to hit someone who pretends to know something from the back of the head…”
Jiha smiled and returned the shadow to its original length.
If the enemy is prepared, you can exceed it.
The preparations for that and the application of the shadow hand were all finished.
It was pierced at the back of the black pants, at the waist, and covered with a top.
While waiting for the match to begin, a familiar person opened the door and came in.
It was Enlil, a dark elf who was cold and proud.
“What?”
It is very rare that Enlil visits the waiting room.
“… As per your request, she managed to catch 4 matches, and all the blue commons were allowed to watch the match from the dedicated table.”
Commons were basically not allowed to watch other commons fight.
However, when the underground requested it, Enlil handled it with unique level authority.
“Good. Go.”
“…”
I want to wake up soon
Jiha thought of Enlil in his own way, so I asked him to go, but there was no response.
“What?”
Enlil slightly turned her head and looked at her wall.
“Nothing at all.”
“…”
Looking down into the basement, Enlil is just standing there staring at the wall.
She is a woman who despises underground and hates even mingling with words. She wouldn’t have liked to be in the same space with her, so why hesitate?
“Are you going to check my condition again?”
“That’s the officer’s responsibility.”
“Since when have you been so sincere? Haven’t you ever looked into whether I’m in a match or not?”
“… Until then, I was still surrendering.”
Enlil sighed softly and she asked.
“Are you going to fight today?”
Enlil knew that the underground had participated in the summoning war today, aiming for Qudoran.
Because it is Enlil who organizes the underground rotation.
Now, I just enforce what the underground decides.
“Okay, if it’s not something important to focus on, then I’ll leave, right?”
“… Oh, that’s right.”
Enlil, unlike her, nodded her head meekly.
There is a strangely awkward atmosphere.
Enlil has consistently ignored her, considering her a coward who has no desire to fight underground.
However, when the underground started to fight and win, and after mixing her body between the two, it was clear that she was confused about how to deal with it.
“Enlil.”
“… Huh?”
Even though she told her to leave, Enlil, who had only been looking at the wall, glanced back at the call.
“If you have something to say, I will listen later. So get out now.”
“… Okay.”
Enlil nodded her head and turned her around.
Pointing to the doorpost, she hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.
“If you’re going to fight anyway…”
She swallowed it all while talking and left her waiting room.
Ji-ha clicked her tongue as she savored the attractive brown buttocks that caught her eye.
“Did you come to show off her ass…”
Well, whatever Enlil was, the important thing now is the decisive battle with Quodoran.
“Please prepare for the 4th match common.”
The basement woke up at the voice from outside.
Upon entering the circular arena, the audience held their breath.
If the eyes that had been looking at the underground were ridicule and contempt, now they were anticipation and curiosity.
Audience seats were full due to rumors about the underground, the first common with magical powers.
“With 28 losses! The human underground who recorded 2 consecutive victories! It’s the first common with magical powers! Oh, I’m really looking forward to this! Well then, the Common of Purple Liberation against him! 11 wins and 4 losses! Minotaur Calon!!”
“…”
Jiha frowned at the words of a woman wearing a bunny girl costume and a pretty bunny beast.
Things went awry
Thud! Thud!
Loud footsteps resounded as a large, bull-headed beast man entered the arena.
Fixed fans in the audience seats welcomed them by singing Calon.
“Kalon!”
“Fight in style today! Cow head!”
The Minotaur waved his hand at the cheering audience for showmanship.
Jiha shook his head and wiggled his fingers at the host.
“Oh, wait. Wait for a sec.”
“Underground player, what’s going on?”
The rabbit woman manipulated the aerial platform and approached the basement.
Underground said quietly to the rabbit who opened her eyes wide.
“Change players.”
“Yes?”
“I’m not out to fight the Minotaur today. Replace.”
When the underground asked for it, the rabbit beastman had a dazed face.
The audience was also dazed.
The underground now request was unprecedented.
The rabbit beast laughed hard.
“Geez, underground player. You’ve been involved in the Summon War for a long time, so you must be familiar with the rules, right? Who will appear in which match is a secret until right before the match, and once a player participates, he cannot withdraw until the winner or loser is determined.”
“Know. But I’m out to fight the Giant Quodoran.”
Underground said dryly.
“I am here to avenge my friend Hakal. Quodoran should be in the rotation today too? Yes?”
“…”
“Looking at the reaction, he said he hasn’t come out yet, so he must be thinking of appearing in the 5th game.”
Seeing the presenter at a loss, it was a climax.
The basement laughed. Quadoran was rightly reputed to be cunning.
‘Are you going to put off the enemy because you don’t have enough information about me? You’re careful.’
The multiplier in the underground is 2 wins and 28 losses, and only 2 wins with magic power.
The first common with magical powers, the level of underground power has yet to be revealed.
Quodoran behaved as if he would appear in the 4th match, but just before that, he changed to the 5th match and avoided the basement.
The smoke screen operation is clearly visible.
“Ah, I know what you mean, but that’s a bit… Because it is unprecedented.”
“Then this will be the first case.”
The rabbit girl let out an awkward laugh.
Even her veteran host, she couldn’t figure out what to do.
Calon, the Minotaur who had been listening, snorted.
“Are you ignoring me completely?”
“I’m in a bad mood right now, so shut up and be quiet. Then you’ll be able to go home without getting hurt, platoon head.”
At the words of the underground, Calon opened his mouth.
A person who would turn into blood if she punched her down was so arrogant.
What’s the big deal with magic power?
Calon’s body tensed at an insult she had never heard before.
Thud! Thud!
The ground in the arena shook as Calon stamped her foot.
Underground looked at the reaction of the audience, Kalon and the rabbit girl, and clicked her tongue.
“I can’t. I’ll deal with you, so go for it.”
Thud! Thud! Thud!!
As the basement turned around, Calon charged in, shaking the floor.
Like a Minotaur, it strikes wildly with bangs like a bullfight.
Although it was a simple body slam, it was rare even among the Commons to face Calon, who weighed close to 300kg.
If you get a frontal charge, you will lose.
Her basement quickly strengthened her legs with magical powers and jumped to the side to avoid it.
Then Calon immediately turned and charged again.
Completely ignorant, it was an attack that only believed in the specifications of her own body, but it was effective.
The angry bullfight’s charge doesn’t stop until the enemy is knocked down!
“He’s a simple guy…”
Woven’s rival, said he was a participant in match fixing, so I thought his head would turn a little bit, but he’s the type who can’t see his front when he’s pissed off.
When the underground evaded again in the same way, Calon circled again without getting tired.
“Kalon! Catch it!”
“Humans, how long are you going to run away! Fight!”
“Boo! Take it away!”
Even though he kept missing, Calon didn’t get tired.
The momentum to run out began to pick up.
Regardless of whether the opponent avoided or not, Calon’s style of fighting was to force a close fight by repeatedly charging him with honesty.
Tolerable opponents would be seriously injured if they received Calon’s charge.
As he evaded, he could only be driven more and more psychologically.
‘Ignorant but effective…’
Is a cow just a cow?
The cheers from the crowd grew as the basement continued to dodge, and Calon, in response, became more excited and quicker.
After dodging 15 times, the ship was faster than the first time, coldly staring at the massive chunk of meat rushing at it like a truck.
“Then…”
As Calon charged again, the underground ran again.
A leap enhanced by magical power, but this time it was vertical, not horizontal.
Calon, who was running, noticed the abnormality, but did not stop.
I believe that no matter what the underground does, it is enough to charge in and defeat it in hand-to-hand combat.
The basement clicked its tongue.
“Strong but simple.”
Jiha, who fell and took a stance, slammed Calon’s head down with his fist.
Whoops!
There was the sound of a blow from a hammer, the sound of meat being crushed, and Calon’s body staggered.
The running bullfight suddenly stopped.
Calon, who was trying to walk forward somehow, struggled through his footsteps, but his knees buckled.
Dump.
Calon fell to the arena floor and couldn’t move.
The crowd went quiet.
Jiha looked at the fallen Calon while shaking his hands.
The audience may not have recognized the situation properly, but the underground strategy was simple.
After continuing to evade Calon’s charge, he ended it by slashing his head.
Of course, Calon is not an idiot, and he will try to respond.
However, even if it floats in the air, the shadow stays there, and the underground grabs Calon’s ankle with the shadow hand.
Even the shadow hand has a limit in handling weight.
It was impossible to completely stop the charge of the Minotaur, which was gaining momentum, but it could be stopped for a while.
At that timing, the basement hit him in the head with a fist filled with magical energy, and he was instantly cut off from consciousness.
The strategy itself is simple, but the timing of the fall, the shadow hand, and the fist that does not miss the top of the head, these three strikes are exquisitely combined.
It was a victory obtained by continuing to study the Shadow Hand for the past week.
“Oh, it was a win or a loss. Winner is…”
“For a moment.”
As the host was about to declare victory and the audience prepared to cheer, Jiha wiggled her fingers.
At the gesture to hand over a microphone and a tool that amplifies her voice by adding magic power, the rabbit girl obediently approached and handed it over.
It was not uncommon for well-known commons to do mic work.
Ji-ha was no longer a weak person who had 28 consecutive losses, but an emerging powerhouse who had won 3 consecutive victories.
I was entitled to self-appeal.
However, the words of the basement handed over the microphone broke everyone’s expectations.
“It is not over yet. The 5th match starts right away, I will continue.”
“Yes?”
“I should have told you, I’m here to harpoon Quodoran today.”
The host, the audience, and even Enlil, who was sitting in the VIP seat, were speechless at the cold declaration from the underground.
Yeonjeon and Jiha declared that they would fight the next opponent.
“I have come today to avenge my friend. So, don’t be shy and come out quickly and leave a will, Quodoran!”
“Wow!!”
For one player to fight twice in a row, it was unprecedented in the history of summoning wars.
The audience cheered passionately at the unprecedented situation, and the declaration that he would overdo it for his friend.
As the audience jumped at the declaration of the underground, the rabbit beast noticed Enlil.
In this situation, it was the authority of the Unique level to make a judgment.
Enlil nodded slowly, and the rabbit beast shouted loudly.
“Well, then! It’s unprecedented, but this is the first time we’ll allow it! 5 matches Blue Seal’s common is 2 wins, no, 3 wins and 28 losses in the human underground! This is the man who came to avenge the ogre Hakal!”
“Aaaaa!!”
“Come out! Quodoran!”
“Fight!!”
It doesn’t stop at beating the Minotaur cleanly, and goes to the next match right away.
Even to avenge the death of a friend.
The audience was excited and quickly betting on the victory of the underground.
Unlike the scorching heat, the basement was consistently cool.
By mentioning Hakal, the audience responded and created a stage where Quodoran could not escape.
‘Today I will kill you.’
I can see him rolling his head, but if you give him more time, he gets tired.
Kurrureung!
As the cheers of the audience continued, the iron door on the purple side finally opened.
It was the start of the 5th match.
