All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 057

 

When the sponsorship amount rose like crazy, collecting hundreds of thousands of D.C in an instant.

 

Shin Hyeok calmed down the overheated atmosphere.

 

“Well, you can sponsor until today’s broadcast ends, so I’ll stop the advertising here. Today’s broadcast isn’t just an advertisement broadcast after all.”

 

-Ah, right. We need to watch the Hidden Stage.

 

-Taking my seat.

 

-Me too, taking my seat.

 

Shin Hyeok calmed them down, saying they could take their time with the elixir lottery tickets until today’s broadcast, then immediately tore the half-torn ticket completely.

 

[You have used the Colosseum Champion Challenge Ticket.]

 

[Moving to the Colosseum.]

 

‘Shall I start running in earnest?’

 

After regressing to around age 20.

 

Shin Hyeok had been running like crazy for about two months.

 

He experienced various incidents and used his knowledge from before regression without reserve to gather talents that would be discovered in the future.

 

Through various incidents, Shin Hyeok grew.

 

Through discovering various talents, Shin Hyeok’s equipment and body became stronger.

 

To a degree unimaginable around this time before regression.

 

‘That’s why I need to do a check-up at this point. How much I’ve changed. How much stronger I’ve become. I need to find this out to make another leap higher.’

 

So Shin Hyeok challenged the Colosseum Champion.

 

To know where his current level was after absorbing everything incomparable to before regression.

 

As Shin Hyeok finished his thoughts, the bright light bursting from the ticket swallowed him up.

 

* * *

 

[WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]

 

-Ugh, thought my eardrums would burst

 

-Please turn down the volume

 

-No lol do you think this is your living room. How do you turn down the volume;;;

 

-But the cheering sounds amazing. Really like a colosseum;;

 

-This is a colosseum though?

 

-F*ck are you stupid?

 

-Something’s weird? Then that’s just cursing?

 

-Yeah, just cursing

 

-Ah! Thanks for the answer! F*ckface!!!

 

Where the bright light disappeared.

 

Shin Hyeok had somehow moved inside the Colosseum.

 

Cheering sounds that echoed thunderously enough to burst eardrums.

 

While viewers covered their ears and frowned at this.

 

[Move to the Colosseum.]

 

“This seems to be a passage. I’ll move right away.”

 

A single message floating in the dark passage.

 

At the same time, the message became an arrow guiding Shin Hyeok into the Colosseum.

 

The moment he walked step by step on the hard dirt floor and entered inside.

 

“…It’s tremendously huge.”

 

-The colosseum we’ve been watching so far was child’s play?

 

-Amazing… so magnificent…

 

-I’m confident I’d piss myself if I stood there

 

-I already pissed myself

 

-That’s why I already put on a diaper lol

 

-The above chats are going crazy for real

 

Shin Hyeok could see the true face of the Colosseum, massive and incomparably magnificent, overwhelming anyone who entered.

 

A gigantic colosseum.

 

Densely packed seats and spectators filling those seats.

 

However, strangely, the spectators’ appearances weren’t clearly visible, like semi-transparent ghosts.

 

But Shin Hyeok could immediately tell who they were.

 

‘Residents of the Integrated League, I suppose. I heard they observe talents from other dimensions through various methods, and this must be one of them.’

 

Residents of the Integrated League.

 

More precisely, they would be residents of lower and higher dimensions.

 

They would check talents from dimensions that were hard to observe because the Integrated League hadn’t opened yet, through various methods.

 

The colosseum Shin Hyeok had stepped into was probably one of those many methods.

 

Though it felt like being their plaything, Shin Hyeok didn’t mind.

 

‘They’re all people I’ll have to destroy or subdue someday anyway. No need to get angry now. Rather, I need to hide myself now. I need to show that I have no intention of being hostile to them.’

 

However they viewed his current self, someday.

 

Perhaps soon, they would have to look up at him rather than down.

 

Since he planned to hide himself until then, Shin Hyeok immediately started equipping his gear.

 

Swoooosh!

 

Armor covering his entire body in an instant.

 

Though not splendid, the armor’s appearance gave a sense of weight precisely because of that, and along with it, Shin Hyeok also armed himself with the Arcane Spear and holy sword.

 

Grip!

 

The Arcane Spear and holy sword held separately in each hand.

 

The intense transcendent feeling from just holding them was brief.

 

Click!

 

He slung Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s bow on his back.

 

-Caw!

 

He summoned Kkamak and placed it on his shoulder.

 

Seeing Shin Hyeok complete all preparations in an instant, viewers let out admiration.

 

-Wow…

 

-The equipment is no joke.

 

-What’s that armor? Was there equipment like that originally?

 

-At least unique grade, right.

 

-The pet looks better than last time too.

 

-Ooh, what kind of enemy will appear. My heart is pounding.

 

Each item was a masterpiece that ordinary players couldn’t dare approach.

 

Equipment, pet, body.

 

Nothing was lacking, so if these combined like oriental sauce poured over salad, one could anticipate what kind of synergy would emerge.

 

-But with this level of specs, the champion should be easy.

 

-For real, won’t it get 1-second killed?

 

-Lol, honestly the Host now isn’t just escaping Gold level but escaping Plae level, so…

 

-Still, this map feels like a hidden within hidden. It’s a hidden you can only challenge after achieving the hidden of 10 consecutive wins. It probably won’t be easy

 

-So how much do you expect?

 

-About 10 seconds? lol

 

-Ah lol you’re being generous~

 

So the Dibeungis expected Shin Hyeok’s easy victory.

 

Many evaluated that Shin Hyeok would instantly kill the Colosseum’s champion, saying things like 1-second cut or few-second cut.

 

Even those who rated the champion highly thought Shin Hyeok would quickly achieve victory, if not an instant kill.

 

But Shin Hyeok thought the complete opposite.

 

‘It’ll be a tough fight. Probably the most difficult among the fights I’ve experienced after regression.’

 

Contrary to the Dibeungis’ expectations, Shin Hyeok expected the fight with the champion to be harder than any other fight.

 

If the Dibeungis had known about Shin Hyeok’s thoughts and the fights he had experienced, they would have been shocked.

 

But Shin Hyeok’s thoughts were firm, and soon the champion revealed itself.

 

Thud! Thoom! Thud! Thoom!

 

Reverberations echoing from another passage located directly opposite to where Shin Hyeok had emerged spread throughout the entire colosseum.

 

Just one person walking out dominates this massive colosseum.

 

Chills!

 

Shin Hyeok felt chills at that fact and immediately took his stance.

 

Ready to dash out at any moment.

 

Ready to fight back against his opponent at any moment.

 

As Shin Hyeok raised his tension and put more strength into his hands gripping the Arcane Spear and holy sword.

 

Kuuuuuuung!

 

With the final step, the colosseum’s champion revealed himself.

 

-…Crazy, orcs can get that big?

 

-That’s impossible. At that size, it’s comparable to trolls or ogres, isn’t it?

 

-…Didn’t they say this ticket could only be used up to Gold? For that restriction, the opponent seems way too strong.

 

-Agreed, this is at least Plae or Diamond level. For greenskin monsters, size equals ability.

 

-But that one has black skin? Shouldn’t we call it blackskin?

 

-…Bbyouttaa bbyattatta!

 

-Look at this guy regressing to baby talk because it’s hard to answer;;

 

The champion’s identity was an orc.

 

But it wasn’t an ordinary orc.

 

A height approaching 3 meters and a massive build to match that height.

 

Rock-like muscles filling that enormous frame completely.

 

Especially unlike regular orcs, with black skin instead of green, giving him an even more intimidating appearance, he was too different to be grouped within the orc category.

 

An existence that dominates the battlefield alone.

 

One against a hundred.

 

Perhaps one against a thousand.

 

Shin Hyeok knew well the existence worthy of such titles.

 

‘Orc Champion. One of the highest-ranking classes among the orc race. If an orc chieftain is one who leads the orc race, then an Orc Champion is one who takes the vanguard of the orc race. His strength is second to none in the entire race. As expected, this fight won’t be easy.’

 

Orc Champion.

 

An existence that reached the pinnacle even among orcs, a naturally born warrior race.

 

Especially since orcs possessed both cold reason and hot madness regarding combat, there were even tribes without a single champion.

 

Therefore, the value of an Orc Champion was higher than imaginable.

 

But more than that, Shin Hyeok focused on a different point.

 

‘Black Orc. Non-green orc. That guy doesn’t seem to have become the colosseum’s champion for good reasons either. What an absurd thing. Humans are like this, and other races too. I don’t understand why they’re so obsessed with skin color or appearance.’

 

It was the fact that the Orc Champion was a Black Orc.

 

The orc world is divided into exactly two groups.

 

Green-skinned orcs and orcs that aren’t.

 

This wasn’t just true for orcs but for elves as well.

 

Dwarves didn’t discriminate by skin color but discriminated by beards instead.

 

Knowing this well, Shin Hyeok straightened his posture while looking at the Orc Champion before him.

 

“…What are you doing, human?”

 

The Orc Champion frowned at Shin Hyeok’s appearance of maintaining tension while relaxing his stance.

 

The viewers watching the broadcast couldn’t hide their amazement at this fact.

 

-What? The orc can talk too?

 

-Amazing! This is the first time since Dimension Arena was created, isn’t it?

 

-Interesting. So there are orcs that can speak…

 

-You can talk too. Isn’t it similar?

 

-What the hell?

 

Because this was the first time they’d seen a talking member of another race.

 

Actually, this was unavoidable.

 

Before the Integrated League opened, the other races visible in Dimension Arena were no different from replicas created by Dimension Arena, so they couldn’t speak.

 

But the orc champion before them was different.

 

That was because the orc champion wasn’t a being created by Dimension Arena.

 

“I greet the Orc Champion.”

 

“…You know me?”

 

“How could I not know? The honorable and glorious profession given only to orcs who have reached the pinnacle of struggle and combat. It would be impossible not to recognize an Orc Champion.”

 

“…Kuk, even if it’s empty words, it’s good to hear.”

 

Shin Hyeok politely bowed his head in greeting.

 

The Orc Champion before him was worthy of respect as a warrior before being his enemy.

 

The Orc Champion also seemed to feel Shin Hyeok’s sincerity and let out a small laugh.

 

As laughter spread across his fierce-looking face, the atmosphere between the two naturally relaxed.

 

“Human. What is your name?”

 

“Shin-hyeok Choi.”

 

“Shin-hyeok Choi… Shin-hyeok Choi… Seeing that you’ve reached this place, the Integrated League hasn’t opened in your dimension yet, but you know about champions. How curious.”

 

“Well, even if the Integrated League hasn’t opened, there are many ways to obtain information, aren’t there?”

 

“Is that so. A foolish question with a wise answer. For someone as talented as you, there would be countless methods at your disposal. I understand.”

 

After a brief introduction.

 

The Orc Champion was amazed that Shin Hyeok knew about his profession but immediately understood.

 

Because while obtaining information about the Integrated League before it opened was nearly impossible, people like Shin Hyeok had already broken through the impossible several times to be able to stand here.

 

But their conversation couldn’t continue for long.

 

[Combat will begin in 5 seconds.]

 

“…Damn system interfering with even small pleasures.”

 

“Tell me about it.”

 

The semi-transparent system message that appeared before them.

 

Because it interrupted their conversation.

 

The Orc Champion also seemed to be seeing the same message, frowning and waving his hand to dismiss it.

 

Then he gripped the massive glaive he carried on his back with both hands and took his stance.

 

Shin Hyeok also took his stance accordingly.

 

He stuck the Arcane Spear and holy sword into the ground and equipped Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s bow that he similarly carried on his back.

 

“You use various weapons.”

 

“I like handling multiple weapons.”

 

“Is that so. I have no intention of interfering with a warrior who has reached mastery. Human warrior, Shin-hyeok Choi. My name is Tarkan. Champion of the Boar Mother Tribe.”

 

Orc Champion.

 

Tarkan didn’t interfere with Shin Hyeok’s weapon techniques.

 

He simply told him his name while raising his fighting spirit.

 

At the sharp fighting spirit that made his hair stand on end, Shin Hyeok swallowed dry saliva and pulled back Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s bowstring.

 

Kadddddddeuk!

 

[3]

 

Watching Shin Hyeok nock an arrow the size of a decent spear to the string, Tarkan also gripped his glaive tightly.

 

Kwadddddddeuk!

 

[2]

 

The two warriors finished preparing to charge at each other.

 

[1]

 

“For the great Earth Mother Goddess!”

 

“…”

 

Each celebrates the start of battle in their own way.

 

[0]

 

[Begin combat!]

 

Finally, the moment the message window blocking their view disappeared with a whoosh and the semi-transparent barrier between them vanished.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

Tarkan roughly kicked off the colosseum’s solid floor.

 

Just from kicking off, a crater formed as if a meteor had fallen, and watching Tarkan flying toward him like a cannonball with that propulsion, Shin Hyeok released his bowstring with an indifferent expression.

 

Kwagagagagagak!

 

A single arrow that cut through the air and tore through space flew forth, becoming the signal that announced the start of the Champion finals.
