All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 059

 

Orc Champion, Tarkan.

 

At the appearance of the Colosseum’s champion, countless viewers expressed admiration, surprise, and shock, but regardless of that, their thoughts didn’t particularly change.

 

-First time seeing a black-skinned orc, and first time seeing a talking orc too, but in the end, that’s all there is to it, right?

 

-Agreed, it’s still just an orc.

 

-What level is the host at now? Diamond for sure.

 

-I think he might be close to king-tier.

 

-If it were anyone else, I’d tell them to stop talking nonsense, but thinking about the host, it sounds plausible.

 

-For real lol

 

Currently, Shin Hyeok’s stock was running at an all-time high, the highest in history.

 

Today more than yesterday.

 

Tomorrow more than today – a promising prospect.

 

No, there were rumors that it was time to drop the “promising” title.

 

It was natural.

 

From Gold onwards, you’re officially recognized as a Player.

 

If you stand out here, you’re evaluated as a rookie or rising star and receive recruitment offers from large guilds or national organizations.

 

Next comes Platinum.

 

Now they are national assets that the country must protect, and pillars that support guilds.

 

Moreover, since this was the starting line for participating in international competitions, from this point they could truly be called the real deal.

 

Finally, Diamond.

 

Each of them was no different from a national treasure.

 

The resources they brought back from dungeons and Dimension Arena were astronomical, and they were essential things that humans couldn’t live without, like blood.

 

Furthermore, the international competition finals that they gathered to compete in brought tremendous national benefits, making each one of them precious.

 

Since Shin Hyeok’s value was even higher than such Diamond Players, it was natural for them to show such reactions.

 

Kwaaaaaaaang!

 

-…Isn’t that arrow damn strong?

 

-…It is. In Gold, that would be a one-shot kill or leave you near death. Even in Plae, it seemed to cause significant impact.

 

-But why is he fine?

 

-Don’t know? Lol?

 

However, seeing Tarkan easily handle Shin Hyeok’s offensive, they had to admit their thoughts were slightly wrong.

 

-Why won’t you fall, Champion~!

 

-Someone was complaining about falling too fast. Hmm, like someone who ended the game in less than 16 minutes…

 

-Ssuni, where do you live by any chance? You won a prize, so could you tell me your address?

 

-Wow, but that orc is no joke either. He’s countering all the attacks the host is making?

 

-Arrow, bow, throwing spear. Look how he’s unfazed after three attacks. His durability must be considerable too.

 

-Nice! This is worth watching! Fight! Fight! The winning team is our team!

 

-This is the host’s broadcast though?

 

-Don’t care lol

 

-The don’t care spirit is always right!

 

-Well, that concludes the perpetrator’s statement. Shinwha Legal Team, please come forward.

 

-YouMustRespectMeISpend18OutOf24HoursWatchingDimensionArenaBroadcastsAndAlwaysProvideGenerousSupportToTheHostAsATrueViewer…

 

-Ugh;;; Gobong-bap, please tone it down;;;

 

That thought only grew stronger as time passed.

 

The battle unfolded by splitting split-second moments, and most Dibeungis watching Shin Hyeok’s broadcast could be certain amidst the feast of movements they couldn’t even dare to follow.

 

-That orc is at least Diamond.

 

-Not just any Diamond either. Top-tier among Diamonds.

 

-Transcendent tier possible?

 

-Hmm, transcendent tier… would that work? Or barely hanging on?

 

-lol The armchair experts have arrived. What kind of dog’s name is transcendent tier?

 

-That’s true. Not just anyone becomes Iwhang Samjeo Owang.

 

-So if you brought a regular Diamond there, could they even compete?

 

-…You’d have to try to know.

 

-Right, right, you should definitely taste-test when distinguishing between poop and soybean paste. Got it?

 

-Roughly speaking, it seems to be between top-tier Diamond and transcendent tier.

 

-The important thing is that the host is only in his second month since placement. lol Seriously crazy

 

Tarkan possesses abilities beyond Diamond tier.

 

That means Shin Hyeok, who’s facing him on equal terms, also has abilities beyond Diamond tier.

 

The fact that this was a fresh-faced 20-year-old kid who had only taken his placement exam 2 months ago made them unable to suppress their hollow laughter.

 

But even during this, the battle began to intensify, and as the two who had somewhat matched each other’s pace shifted up another gear, the excitement reached its peak.

 

-He uses shamanism too. Dual class despite being an orc? I feel so deprived…

 

-So, you have one class? Trash, right? Loser of the era, right?

 

-??? : Take back what you just said…!

 

-??? : Taken back.

 

-Kraaaah! Damn it! Me too! I can use shamanism well too…!

 

-You probably could. But talent exists for a reason. Don’t waste money on skill books and just buy chicken instead.

 

-How about a hearty bowl of soup instead of chicken?

 

-The soup place in front of my house charges 12,000 won per bowl. Would you still eat it?

 

-F***ing hell!!! This is blasphemy!!! How dare!!! You impious fool!!!

 

When Tarkan brought out shamanism and utilized all his shamanic abilities like shamanic tattoos, shamanic blessings, shamanic armor, etc.

 

It created a scene where Shin Hyeok seemed to be helplessly pushed back.

 

Of course, it was actually a tight battle, but viewing from a third-person perspective, it was nearly impossible for viewers to catch the subtleties of combat.

 

-Don’t tell me he’s losing?

 

-No way, right? Our host can’t fall!

 

-??? : Airman won’t fall!

 

-I miss that young man from Gimhae today…

 

-So is the host really losing?

 

-Come on, would Korea’s, no, the world’s rising star lose to just an orc? Tsk, no way~

 

-Where did you get such bullshit from? Someone put a lock on those glasses?

 

Shin Hyeok’s defeat.

 

Feeling it gradually becoming reality, viewers made a commotion, biting their nails and shaking their legs frantically.

 

But their worries were soon resolved.

 

Whoooooooosh!

 

-Magic!

 

-WA! You know Fire Ball! This is really strong!

 

-That’s right~ Our host doesn’t just use weapons~

 

-Hey, but if it’s Fire Ball, isn’t that a B-rank magic skill? The host’s magic was B-rank?

 

-That’s amazing;; His weapon skills are already at least C to B-rank, and his magic is B-rank too?

 

-Magic swordsman is acknowledged though

 

-Sign here! Magic swordsmen are superior to orthodox swordsmen!

 

Because Shin Hyeok’s Fire Ball mixed with mana completely turned the tide.

 

Having clearly shown his B-rank magic to the whole world, Shin Hyeok went one step further.

 

-…Wow, I saw it during the Mujeonggeum fight too…

 

-Seeing it again, the scale is really crazy…

 

-The necromancy side hasn’t changed much, but the spirits’ level seems to have improved. Looks like his skill rank went up during the Mujeonggeum fight.

 

-lol Where did the guys badmouthing the host go? The host losing? That’s impossible.

 

-??? : Is he losing?

 

-??? : He’s winning.

 

-Nice! Victory declaration!

 

Shin Hyeok’s ultimate technique that brought Mujeonggeum to his knees during the Colosseum 10-win streak challenge.

 

Summoning an army in a one-on-one fight.

 

In an instant, the one-on-one battle transformed into one against hundreds.

 

Perhaps even one against thousands, and the viewers cheered at this transformed battle.

 

Above all, the viewers couldn’t help but be amazed by the last words Shin Hyeok uttered.

 

-All Master? Could that possibly be a class name?

 

-Come to think of it, the host’s class has never been revealed.

 

-All Master… roughly translated, it would mean something like ‘one who has mastered everything.’

 

-It definitely suits the host, doesn’t it? The host is good at everything.

 

-Agreed, he handles weapons well~ knows how to use magic~ uses necromancy~ summons spirits~ what can’t our host do?

 

-That would be not having Ham Seok-gyun, the 32nd descendant of the Gangneung Han Clan.

 

-That one was already thrown in the incinerator because it couldn’t be recycled~

 

Because this was the first statement that allowed viewers to speculate about Shin Hyeok’s class.

 

All Master.

 

Just as the consensus was forming that it was indeed a class befitting Shin Hyeok, who could perfectly handle any skill or weapon.

 

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

Tarkan clashed with Shin Hyeok’s army.

 

As the fate of whether a new Colosseum champion would be born or the current one would remain hung in the balance, the Dibeungis busily popped their popcorn.

 

* * *

 

Kwarrrrrrrrrr!

 

Tarkan’s glaive swung, instantly crushing a section of the Army of the Dead.

 

Tremendous destructive power that could even shatter fortress walls.

 

And what was truly terrifying was that this wasn’t even his full strength.

 

Literally just a basic attack.

 

A portion of Shin Hyeok’s army collapsed from a lightly swung attack.

 

But Shin Hyeok didn’t care.

 

“Rise.”

 

As long as Shin Hyeok’s mana didn’t run out.

 

His army would never truly fall.

 

Kiiiiiing!

 

Operating the Taegeuk Divine Art to its extreme to cover the mana consumption rushing toward the ground in real-time, Shin Hyeok gestured to the spirits moving with individual will.

 

“Elemental Shower.”

 

Shwaaaaaaaa!

 

Lower spirits gathered together to unleash streams of four-element water that pounded Tarkan.

 

“This much won’t be enough…!”

 

“Elemental Rain.”

 

“…!!!”

 

Naturally, that couldn’t do anything to Tarkan, so Shin Hyeok immediately utilized intermediate spirits.

 

Combining their power, he unleashed torrents of four-element rain.

 

Before the intensified power of the four elements, Tarkan’s charge faltered and was stopped for the first time.

 

-In the name of death!

 

-For our lord!

 

-I shall sever your head and present it to our lord!

 

Kagagagagak!

 

The Skeleton Guards[B] latched onto Tarkan.

 

As Tarkan was helplessly pushed back by the combined assault of the Skeleton Guards, each at the level of a Platinum-tier Player.

 

Kadddddeuk!

 

“…Damn.”

 

At the ominous sound of something breaking, Tarkan’s face hardened.

 

At that very moment.

 

Kwaaaaaaaaa!

 

Great Kill.

 

The first attack Shin Hyeok had initially demonstrated flew toward Tarkan once again.

 

The Great Kill, launched using the great bow as a platform, aimed precisely at Tarkan.

 

The Army of the Dead, the spirits’ offensive.

 

The will to use all of this as a single platform to land this one strike.

 

That reached Tarkan.

 

Kwadddddddeuk!

 

Though the Great Kill was blocked by Tarkan’s shamanic armor, the impact was certainly transmitted to Tarkan.

 

Tarkan was pushed back once again, creating another long furrow in the ground.

 

And as if waiting for this moment, Shin Hyeok’s wave assault continued.

 

Kwaaaaaaaaa! Kwaaaaaaaa! Kwaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

An endless barrage of Great Kills.

 

Unable to dodge or block these attacks, wounds accumulated across Tarkan’s body and bruises began to consume his flesh.

 

As he gradually seized the advantage, Shin Hyeok drew his Arcane Spear.

 

“True Black Demonization, Throwing Enhancement, Enhancement, Annihilation Strike.”

 

Four-skill stack, Quadruple Force.

 

The Arcane Spear, wrapped in pitch-black burning demonization, was launched directly.

 

“Flash Demon.”

 

──────────!

 

The Arcane Spear shot as if Shin Hyeok himself was thrusting it.

 

Drawing a black line through space as it advanced, the Arcane Spear pierced straight through Tarkan.

 

Jjeooooooooong!

 

Half of the shamanic armor burst apart, and even that wasn’t enough to offset the impact—the bones, muscles, flesh, and organs in the area struck by the Arcane Spear’s annihilation were completely destroyed.

 

It wouldn’t be strange if his breath stopped right there.

 

But Tarkan was a warrior.

 

Furthermore, he was a shaman.

 

A warrior never retreats even before death, and a shaman is one who helps such warriors overcome death.

 

When these combined, he personally created a miracle.

 

“Shamanic Tattoo Manifestation. Fury, Blood Rage, Madness.”

 

Kiiiiiiiiiing!!!

 

The three tattoos carved deepest and darkest on Tarkan’s body.

 

The tattoos carved on his chest, limbs, and head respectively manifested simultaneously, and red auras enveloped Tarkan.

 

“Three Madness Unity.”

 

Kwaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

The three madnesses combined to become purely one, dwelling within his body.

 

A tremendous storm of fighting spirit bloomed around Tarkan, grinding up everything in the vicinity.

 

Peoseoseoseoseoseok!

 

-…Ah, death calls to me.

 

-My lord, I’m sorry…

 

-Uuuaaaaa!!!

 

The Army of the Dead and Skeleton Guards collapsed first.

 

This happened because they were clearly crumbling faster than Shin Hyeok’s mana could restore them.

 

-Uaaaa! Scary!

 

-…Churut.

 

-Let’s meet again next time.

 

-Uu, sorry!

 

Next were the spirits.

 

Spirits don’t take damage from physical attacks, but precisely because of that, they were vulnerable to non-physical attacks.

 

Things like the intense killing intent created by fighting spirit.

 

Eventually, the spirits were reverse-summoned.

 

Huuuuuuuk!

 

The fierce fighting spirit pushes away the thick cloud of dust.

 

Eventually, the spot where the dust cloud completely disappeared.

 

Seeing his figure wrapped in crimson fighting spirit, Shin Hyeok was reminded of someone familiar.

 

‘It’s like seeing Ellis Veronia from before my regression.’

 

Ellis Veronia.

 

Currently at the level of a promising talent in the United States, but around the time before regression, she was a world-class powerhouse.

 

The path she walked was filled with nothing but blood, and since her profession was well known, she was called the ‘Blood Berserker.’

 

And now Tarkan’s appearance was not much different from the Blood Berserker before regression.

 

But if there was one difference-

 

“Phew… As expected, Triple Madness Unity is difficult.”

 

“You’re maintaining your sanity?”

 

“Triple Madness Unity is the power that turns madness three times to return it to its original place. As a result, the advantage is being able to draw out the power of triple madness while maintaining one’s sanity.”

 

“…Isn’t that cheating?”

 

“Well, human. Compared to what you’ve shown, it doesn’t seem particularly overpowered. You can tell just by looking at the audience right now.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

It was the fact that Tarkan was completely sane.

 

Originally, skills and traits of the rage, blood frenzy, and madness categories have the side effect of taking away the user’s mind, but Tarkan had gone so mad that he returned to sanity.

 

One might think it was cheating, but Shin Hyeok looked around once and nodded his head.

 

The audience that appeared like translucent spirits.

 

Because he could see their stirring all too clearly.

 

“I don’t want to put on a clown show in front of those people… but to beat you, Tarkan, I’ll have to give it my all.”

 

“…What?”

 

“Would you believe me if I said I’ve been waiting for this moment? An opponent I can pour everything into. I needed that.”

 

“…!”

 

The moment Shin Hyeok, who had observed the audience’s stirring, declared he would give his all.

 

Tarkan flinched and stepped back.

 

Feeling an ominous current, Shin Hyeok sent applause of respect for his judgment and said.

 

“Mana, magic power, Sacred Power. Triple Energy Fusion – Enhancement.”

 

Kugugugugugugugugugu!

 

Magic power bursts forth like a torrent and races through his body.

 

Sacred Power dwells in his flesh and strengthens his body.

 

Mana corrects the body that was collapsing due to the power of the two energies.

 

The moment when three different energies merged into one, creating the single destination of physical enhancement.

 

Crack!

 

Lightly cracking his neck and picking up the Arcane Spear and holy sword, Shin Hyeok slowly stepped toward Tarkan.

 

“Champion. I’ll be taking it.”

 

“…”

 

At Shin Hyeok’s declaration that echoed softly, Tarkan unconsciously thought.

 

Perhaps.

 

Just perhaps, he might be able to be freed from this prison where he had been bound for so long.

 

By a genius young enough to be closer to a boy than the young man before his eyes.
