Chapter 297 – Diamond Rank Battle
With the help of Angel Convo, I headed to where the team members were gathered.
“Where have you been and are you coming now?”
I thought she would be happy, but girl number 9 glared at me with a rotten expression.
“Everyone was running around this cold place like crazy trying to find you.”
“I didn’t know you were looking for me. But… I guess it wouldn’t have been faster to look for collectibles during that time?”
“That’s…”
“We need to be able to find the collection…! They’re all buried in the snow and waving their fins in the sea. How can we find them and catch them!”
“We only caught hammerhead penguins so that we wouldn’t be disturbed.”
There was a hint of fatigue in the eyes of the three beauties.
It may seem like we worked hard, but in fact, the four of us raised our score by about 500 points.
It was only about 1 or 2 grade A collections.
I wondered if he was a user of the same level as me.
I would like to say more, but it was already in the past.
I passed over and looked at the fur monster in the distance.
“There’s only 2 minutes left! Crazy!! Let’s hurry! Concentrate your firepower on the monster! I’ll take the last hit!”
“Uh. Huh? Okay.!”
“Let’s get moving! They say there are 2 minutes left!”
While I was trying to chat with my team members, I placed an order right away.
I shouted urgently, so my teammates listened to me and ran to the monster I saw over there.
“Heavenly blessings to all! The agility of your wings!”
Watching the team members running down the snow-covered road, the angel Convo soared and sparkled with light.
“Oh.!”
“My body is full of vitality!”
“Everyone just catches that! Then you can advance to the next round!”
Although we thought each other was unlucky and felt uncomfortable, our team members rushed forward for one goal.
As soon as the team members reached the fur monster, it was an angel convo that attacked the three beauties and showered beams of light.
With the help of my team members, the hair was torn off.
“Now is the time!! Quick!”
I pulled the trigger at the angel’s cry.
-Clap. T. Ing.
“What. What.!”
I pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle, but the yellow beam of light did not fire.
“Sorry, but it’s the noisy team that gets to the next round.”
The identity of the loud noise coming from the hill was none other than number 8.
-Jjuung!!
Yellow light emanated from the muzzle of her gun.
-Boom!!!
“Keeeee!!”
The fur monster that was hit collapsed on the spot.
-Tick, tick! Tick, tick!
“Why isn’t it being fired? Damn it!”
I pulled the trigger and then threw the sniper rifle into the snow.
“It seems that number 8 has remotely locked the gun.”
“Such a cowardly act!”
I looked at Number 8 hoisting her sniper rifle to her shoulder.
She lifted her black helmet and gave me a wink.
I was cowardly, but I couldn’t say I was cowardly.
Didn’t I try to deceive the other person from the beginning?
And above all, this was a ranked game where users competed.
Rather, it was a mistake for me to trust her weapon to the end.
“Don’t give up yet! The monster is not dead! The fur is growing back!”
I was expecting to be reinstated due to defeat, but I heard Convo’s voice shouting from afar.
His cry was as if it awakened my spirit buried in despair.
“You’re alive after being hit by my ship’s cannon. Then, one more time!”
Girl number 8 raises her sniper rifle again and tries to take aim.
At that moment, I stood up and screamed.
“Transformation!!!”
[Mode stat becomes the same as stamina stat.]
[The stamina stat increases five times.]
[Regeneration increases by 1000%.]
[All attribute resistance increases by the stat value.]
[All female bodies in a dark space are weakened by 40%.]
Gray energy flowed over my shoulders like a cloak and ran so fast that the surroundings felt slow.
“True Demon Spirit Fist!!! Black King Sect!”
The right hand turns black brown and the fist flies towards the monster.
-Jjuung!!
And I felt a yellow ray of light following behind my Black King faction.
‘We’re catching up! No! I can’t lose anymore! More! More! Quickly!!’
You can’t just be an ordinary Black King.
A strike stronger than that sniper bullet and faster than light is needed.
To win…! In order to advance to the next round.!
“If it doesn’t work once, it happens twice!!”
As I watched the Black King Sect fly, I hit the Black King Sect once more at the same spot.
-Pow. Pow!!
The flying black king wave doubled in size and became twice as fast.
“Oooooh!! Black King Cannon!!”
Hit the space twice.
Hyeonmu gets excited by that action and shouts.
Afterward, the flying Black King Cannon turned into a dark brown color the size of a 100-story building and swept over the entire body of the fur monster.
After that, the 8th girl’s sniper bullet followed.
[Number 7. Obtain 400 essence points.]
[This creature was first discovered by an unlucky team. First Collection. The initial acquisition amount is doubled.]
[Returning team: 2830 points]
[Noisy Team: 2130 points]
I clenched my teeth as I heard the manager’s voice later.
I used too much energy and was forced out of my transformation, but I held my right hand and lifted it up into the sky.
“It’s a victory for the unlucky bastards!!”
“Wow!!”
“I won!!!”
[There are 20 seconds remaining in the game.]
20 seconds.
The noisy team seemed to have decided that there was no longer any possibility and sat down in the snow with a sigh.
“You didn’t need my weapon.”
Girl number 8 approached me after seeing me win the last-minute fight.
I looked back at girl number 8 and smiled.
“That’s right. My fists are much better than guns.”
“Haha, unfortunately I lost. Well, I guess you won because you are a stronger ace than me. Next time. Uhm. Let’s just play Negrol Duo. Number 33.”
“Yes, of course. I’ll take you on the bus then.”
“Bus? Hehe. I’m good.”
She and I followed each other and slowly disappeared.
***
[The unlucky team reached all 100 points. We enter the final round, round 4.]
“Everyone did a great job.”
I looked at the four people smiling brightly and said.
“It was nice to see you doing your best. Jageun.”
“Thanks to you, I advanced to the final round after 3 years. Thank you. Pervert.”
“First… You were cool. I thought you were just a user who revealed to women, but you turned out to be a man who pushed his own limits.”
“Thank you…”
Even though my teammates didn’t seem to help me noticeably in the game, I felt good because my image, which I initially saw as a pervert guy, had improved a lot.
As expected, in competitions, you have to win to get this kind of extras.
“Hehe. I guess I’m lucky.”
Angel Convo disappeared while saying those words.
“That’s right. It wasn’t an unlucky team, it was a lucky team.”
Girl number 13 disappeared.
“Pervert. No. Number 33. I will definitely repay this debt. Take care!”
Girl number 9 also disappeared.
-Nodding.
27 The maid also quietly nodded her head and disappeared.
And me too.
[Would you like to enter the final round 33?]
“That’s right, I was lucky.”
So, I, the ace, entered the final round last.
***
Summoned to a private room.
I thought I was left alone, but after seeing the spirits and Aphrodite who had followed me, I felt reassured again.
[Welcome to the final round. No. 33 Park Ja-geun.]
“It’s finally the last round.”
[A total of 4 teams advanced to the final 4 rounds.]
[A total of 20 users survived, and they will be randomly matched until the remaining 10 users remain.]
“That’s right. I said only 10 people would advance to Diamond level. Even if they worked hard to get there, 10 people will have to fall.”
Everyone must have worked hard to get there, but as the final round started right away, they seemed a little cold.
[For the first round, weight class is confirmed. Round 2 is situation assessment. Round 3 is teamwork through random encounters. The last 4 rounds are hiring.]
“Employment.?”
[As a senior user, proving your value includes not only yourself but also users related to you.]
I’m not sure, but since the manager said that, I nodded, thinking it was correct.
[High-ranking users must also be able to handle summoned ones well. The summoning targets are the users you have met so far. Reach out to as many users as possible by reaching out to them as much as possible. And survive the matchmaking with those who have been summoned.]
As soon as the administrator finished speaking, my follow list appeared next to me.

“There are quite a few. What you’re saying is to hire as many as possible here and make them fight the opponent.?”
[Yes.]
“Then. Let’s start with the summoning. See who comes up.”
I pressed the accept button while looking at the beauties in my follow list.
***
A room with hundreds of monitors.
The strong beings were looking forward to the final round.
“As expected, the last one is employment summons~”
“Hehe. Most of the users who have come this far are probably those who came up only because they are strong.”
“That’s right. So, they are very vulnerable to Recruitment Summons. Rather, those who focus more on human relationships than their abilities will do a lot of Recruitment Summons and win the matchmaking.”
“That dragon number 1 is eliminated. The only target summoned is a guardian, right?”
“You never know. That guardian might wipe out the whole thing by himself.”
“Oh! Matched 1 time. Who is the opponent?”
“It’s number 33. It’s going to be difficult against the Guardian… Really… Huh?”
The opponent of one guardian in the monitor…
-Rurrrr!!
“Crazy.! Why are there so many women!?”
One of the guardians shown on the monitor raised his hands as his eyes widened.
Around Guardian No. 1, ancient spirit fists, high-ranking magic, high-ranking blood magic, the sword of the Golden Kingdom, and adventurer’s memorization… After this, beauties with various weapons appeared and were seen spread out around the guardian.
“Who on earth is number 33?”
“It’s that man! A man whose title and name do not include sex!”
“What a man with a disgusting title!”
“What a pervert! A guy like that gets upgraded to diamond!!”
The strong beings criticized and shouted while looking at number 33.
However, some people nodded while looking at the women in number 33.
“Do you like that guy that much?”
“Let’s call it one time.”
“I heard that number 33 gathered like that as soon as I requested a summons from the people I followed.”
Athena made a frowning expression at some people’s random answers.
“I found it first… I was the first to like it… I was the only one looking at number 33…”
Athena complained and looked at the 33 summoned female corps.
Each of those summoned women had such powerful abilities and strength that it would not be strange at all to appear in this level match.
Even if there was just one strong woman, all of them… We’re listening to a man’s request without any jealousy or prejudice.
As Athena watched him, she became more curious and focused on him.
[User #33 Park Ja-geun. We have reached diamond level.]
“That thing! It’s a diamond!”
“In the end, like this!!”
Everyone looking at the monitor was screaming, but Park Ja-geun, reflected on the monitor, was smiling.
