All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 113
High Dwarf.
As you could tell from the prefix “High,” it was a superior species of dwarf.
And superior species were those who had broken through the limits of their original race’s potential.
Therefore, players who had risen to the ranks of superior species like High Dwarves showed abilities that overwhelmed players of the same level.
Oh, by the way, there wasn’t a single High Human in existence at this point in time.
‘Since I was a High Human, I know best. The strength of superior species is special. It’s not for nothing that the rulers of higher dimensions are superior species.’
Of course, the future was a bit different.
The one and only High Human throughout all dimensions.
That was none other than Shin Hyeok.
Since he himself was a superior species, Shin Hyeok knew well the strength and fearsome nature of superior species.
Because superior species had no upper limit to their potential, they could theoretically become infinitely stronger.
Well, not all superior species were the same though.
‘True Dragon, Krodden. Compared to that lizard bastard, the High Dwarf before me doesn’t even reach the level of a little kid.’
Even if given the freedom to become infinitely stronger, without sufficient talent and ability, there would be no opportunity to bloom that infinite potential.
They had merely gained the freedom to become stronger without limits, after all.
Of course, that didn’t give him reason to belittle the High Dwarf’s strength, so Shin Hyeok carefully observed the High Dwarf before him.
Though he was displaying insane speed while deploying Heukcheonryeobo, this was possible because time around him was flowing very slowly thanks to the power of Supersense [D].
‘He’s at Cheon-oe-cheon level. And it seems he’s surpassed the King class.’
Having finished his assessment of the High Dwarf before him, Thunder Hammer, Shin Hyeok narrowed his eyes at his opponent’s strength.
Above King class.
That meant his opponent was a player at Emperor class.
From King class onwards, they were closer to Challenger than Diamond.
In other words, Thunder Hammer at Emperor class could be considered quasi-Challenger level.
‘He’s definitely stronger than uncle.’
An opponent definitely stronger than Yeom-wang, Choi Inho, the only Cheon-oe-cheon member Shin Hyeok had fought.
But Shin Hyeok became calmer instead.
‘He’s only that strong.’
Stronger than Inho.
Close to Emperor class.
If he was going to be intimidated by such assessments, he wouldn’t have harbored thoughts of revenge against the Homo Novus Empire.
Now that his assessment and thoughts about Thunder Hammer were complete, only one thing remained.
“Wind Demon.”
“…!”
Kwaaaaaaaaa!!!
It was to swing his Arcane Spear toward Thunder Hammer, who had reached right in front of him using the power of Heukcheonryeobo.
Cheonma Seonggong Chapter 1, Section 3.
Wind Demon.
As the wind demon dwelt in his Arcane Spear, Shin Hyeok’s body spun round and round like a top.
Since the power of Heukcheonryeobo still remained in his body, Shin Hyeok’s body spun dozens of times in an instant, absorbing tremendous centrifugal force.
Shin Hyeok’s ability to swing his Arcane Spear and deploy Wind Demon without wavering in such a state had reached the realm of artistry beyond mere technique.
Clang! Clang! Claaang! Clang! Clangclangclangclang!!!
The illusion was so strong that it felt like a razor-sharp steel top was pressing him that Thunder Hammer gritted his teeth and raised the massive war hammer in his hands.
“Master of Mjolnir! Grant me your strength!”
“…Hmm!”
Rummmmmble!
At his cry, Shin Hyeok felt a sharp sensation like a blade slicing his skin, stopped Wind Demon, and kicked off to retreat backward.
At the same time, lightning struck in the underground mine.
Something impossible as a natural phenomenon.
‘It’s an authority.’
It was an authority.
Authority was when the power of characteristics reached its peak, something like the exclusive domain of Constellations.
And the method for an ordinary player to use a Constellation’s authority was simple.
Receiving that power from the Constellation.
Of course, Thunder Hammer, who was merely a believer, wouldn’t have received the true form of the authority.
But even an extremely small portion of authority remained threatening nonetheless.
However, if there was one unfortunate thing for Thunder Hammer—
Crackle!
“…What? No, what is this—”
“Your lightning is pretty awesome.”
Characteristic: Lightning Lord.
It was that Shin Hyeok possessed a legendary-grade characteristic of the lightning type.
While completely stealing his opponent’s lightning might be difficult, sharing lightning with him was not a difficult task for Shin Hyeok.
Of course, since it was someone else’s lightning it was acting up a bit, but this wasn’t without a solution either.
“Lightning Generation [F].”
Crackle!
Shin Hyeok’s purple lightning mixed with Thunder Hammer’s blue lightning.
Another’s lightning.
The process of stealing very high-level lightning and mixing his own lightning with it soon showed results.
[Skill: Lightning Generation [F] has grown to Lightning Generation [E].]
[Skill: Lightning Generation [E] has grown to Lightning Generation [D].]
The F-rank Lightning Generation achieved two levels of growth at once.
Seeing Shin Hyeok wreathed in purple-blue lightning along with the skill’s growth, Thunder Hammer became furious.
“You cowardly and vile thieving bastard! How dare you steal my lightning! The lightning directly bestowed by the great Master of Mjolnir! I swear by my beard I won’t let you get away with this!”
Thunder Hammer jumped around in fury, hurling the worst curses a dwarf could manage.
But for Shin Hyeok, who had experienced all kinds of insults thanks to his pre-regression experiences and even had experience as a keyboard warrior fighting to protect his parents in Korean communities, it had no impact whatsoever.
-Ah lol he’s giving high praise
-How dare you steal my lightning, you bastard! = Your abilities are so excellent I could never dare to imitate them
-Nothing else to do so he can only curse lol
-For real lol just type lol~
Even the viewers watching Shin Hyeok’s broadcast felt the same way.
In the end, Thunder Hammer couldn’t reclaim the lightning Shin Hyeok had taken.
In other words, all Thunder Hammer could do was hurl curses at Shin Hyeok.
Since this could truly be called victory, the viewers’ joy was short-lived.
“Master of Mjolnir! Please bring divine punishment upon that thief who stole your lightning!”
“Hmm.”
-Damn! You unethical shorty! Calling adults into a kids’ fight is cheating!
-Disgraceful, disgraceful. Though such stress is necessary…
-Disgusting. Disgusting.
-Ugh, the familiar taste of trash…
-Ha, isn’t this screwed? It’s big trouble if a Constellation gets angry…
-Direct intervention would be difficult. From what I can see, he’s not even an apostle.
-But he’s at least a formal believer. He’s probably at a level where he could become an apostle if given the chance. Plus there’s the pretext that his lightning given to his believer was stolen… Indirect intervention might be quite possible.
-Fuck… Shorty bastard, let’s fight fair and square…
When Thunder Hammer cried out the name of the Master of Mjolnir, his backer who had granted him lightning, the chat atmosphere turned ominous.
Constellation.
The value their names carried was natural, and their weight was as heavy as Mount Tai.
It wasn’t for nothing that players desperately tried to gain Constellations’ attention, and even becoming a mere preliminary believer rather than a formal one made their noses reach the sky.
Moreover, the Master of Mjolnir was a well-known Constellation even on Earth, belonging to the upper ranks if not the highest.
Of course, direct intervention involving face-to-face confrontation with players was difficult.
Because even Constellations are reluctant to intervene for punishment rather than reward, especially when it’s not someone connected to them.
But even indirect intervention was dangerous.
-Didn’t they say that one villain who touched a Constellation’s official believer was burned alive?
-Yeah… He was a fairly famous villain in Diamond tier… but he died from orange disease…
-You guys shouldn’t curse Constellations either. I knew a guy who got struck by lightning out of a clear sky and died after cursing a Constellation…
-Wait, that’s actually real;;;
-How many seconds did it take for him to die back then?
-3 seconds. That’s why “How to Cook a Villain in 3 Seconds” became popular in shorts.
There was a precedent where a villain who had touched a Constellation’s official believer met a terrible end in the past.
Moreover, that Constellation wasn’t even particularly famous, and their rank was only mid-tier, making the current situation extremely dangerous.
That’s why the viewers were both worried and not worried at the same time.
Being worried while not being worried.
The reason was simple.
-Ah, I remember now. So isn’t the Host screwed?
-Almost?
-Why almost?
-Because it feels like the Host will do something even to Constellations?
-…Tsk, hard to argue with that.
Because it was Shin Hyeok.
Since Shin Hyeok had shown them countless things, they couldn’t help but think that maybe he would show them something even against a Constellation’s touch.
At that moment when everyone’s attention was focused.
[The Master of Mjolnir gazes upon you.]
“…!”
Shin Hyeok felt a tingling sensation as if lightning was striking down.
It was the gaze of the Master of Mjolnir.
Befitting the gaze of a Constellation related to lightning, he made one feel the agony of lightning striking with just his gaze.
‘This is much more intense than dozens of Orc Tribal Constellations. The gap between Tribal Constellations and mid-tier Constellations is definitely huge.’
Having faced Orc Tribal Constellations before, Shin Hyeok could feel the difference even more.
Of course, All the Apex of Evil, Wushen, Cheonma, and others.
Shin Hyeok had endured even the gazes of High Constellations, but that was only possible because of their consideration.
If they had been determined to kill Shin Hyeok, they could have almost achieved it with just their gaze.
Well, the price would have been enormous too, but there was a big difference between something being impossible and just not doing it.
Grrrk!
As the gaze continued, the tingling sensation throughout his body grew stronger, so Shin Hyeok gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
Fortunately, the Master of Mjolnir’s gaze was also recognized as lightning attribute, so the lightning resistance attached to his trait: Lightning Lord was of great help.
In addition to that, Shin Hyeok frantically circulated his mana circuits and achieved resistance against the energy invading his body.
After all, a Constellation’s gaze was like external pressure from energy, so by spreading various energies throughout his entire body and not giving the energy a chance to enter, the Constellation’s gaze gradually began to be pushed back.
But more important than all of this was none other than Shin Hyeok’s mental strength.
A strong body.
Energy that could overcome even a Constellation’s gaze.
Traits that granted powerful resistance.
In the end, if mental strength collapsed, none of it would mean anything.
In that regard, Shin Hyeok could be said to have the strongest mental strength among existing Players.
It was actually natural.
While his shell was a rookie who had just entered Diamond tier, his core was one of the top Challenger Players in the Integrated League.
As Shin Hyeok began to endure the gaze for a long time, the Constellation side also reacted.
[The Master of Mjolnir acknowledges your will.]
[The Master of Mjolnir hesitates while looking at someone behind you.]
[The Master of Mjolnir apologizes for testing you.]
He acknowledged Shin Hyeok’s will for enduring his gaze.
Of course, that wasn’t all.
The High Constellations protecting Shin Hyeok.
Their presence was gradually rippling behind Shin Hyeok.
Eventually, the Master of Mjolnir withdrew his gaze.
“Master of Mjolnir! What is the meaning of this…!”
When the Constellation he trusted retreated, Thunder Hammer couldn’t hide his bewilderment.
He hadn’t expected direct intervention, but he thought at least a single bolt of lightning would strike down, yet the Constellation just sent a gaze and then retreated, so it was a natural reaction.
But instead of help, the Master of Mjolnir offered a reward.
[The Master of Mjolnir offers a legendary-grade trait to the victor as compensation for not intervening in the battle.]
“…Legendary!”
“…Not bad. Compensation for intervention, huh. That was a good move.”
A legendary-grade trait, no less.
Originally, this would have been impossible.
Bestowing a legendary-grade trait for just one battle would require even a high-tier Constellation to consume considerable karma.
But now, several conditions were aligned.
He had intervened for his official believer, Thunder Hammer, but Shin Hyeok had splendidly blocked that intervention.
Plus the pressure from the Constellations behind Shin Hyeok.
Finally, by adding the constraint of not intervening even if his official believer died, the Master of Mjolnir was able to offer maximum reward with moderate karma.
Looking at it this way, one might think the Master of Mjolnir only suffered losses in exchange for brief intervention, but Shin Hyeok thought differently.
‘The Master of Mjolnir probably doesn’t care whether Thunder Hammer wins or I win. If it’s the former, he cheaply gave a legendary trait to his official believer, and if it’s the latter, he can build goodwill toward me and either owe a debt to or build favor with the High Constellations backing me.’
The Master of Mjolnir wouldn’t care which side won.
The death of an official believer would be painful even for a high-tier Constellation, but considering various tangible and intangible benefits.
“You! Become my fertilizer! Consider it an honor to die for me, a High Dwarf who will proudly enter Ironforge!”
Rumble!
With his regret about the legendary trait and the Constellation stopping intervention gone, replaced by greed, storm clouds appeared above Thunder Hammer’s head.
They were storm clouds containing crackling blue lightning.
‘Similar to Purple Moon. Though it’s a much inferior version. At most it would automatically strike lightning and strengthen its master with lightning power.’
It was similar to the Purple Moon that Shin Hyeok used, but a much inferior version.
It was laughable to compare it to Purple Moon.
But that didn’t mean the power contained in the storm clouds was weak, so Shin Hyeok also drew out the strongest card he had.
Crack!
“Heukcheonryeobo.”
“…That again! Do you think I’ll fall for it twice, you fool!”
It started with Heukcheonryeobo.
Of course, Thunder Hammer had already prepared countermeasures since he had seen this attack once before.
Crackle!
A curtain of lightning extending from the storm clouds wrapped around Thunder Hammer’s entire body without any gaps.
It was a powerful barrier to block Shin Hyeok’s attack approaching with Heukcheonryeobo.
But while Thunder Hammer’s response wasn’t bad, his choice was wrong.
He should have created distance instead of blocking.
“Colosseum.”
“…!!!”
Whoooosh!
Shin Hyeok, who had entered within the certain distance where he could deploy the Colosseum, summoned the Colosseum and swallowed Thunder Hammer.
King of the Colosseum.
Master of the Colosseum.
It was the moment Shin Hyeok stood in the sky.
