Chapter 21

A fishy scent of blood lingers at the tip of his nose.

He thinks he can taste something bitter at the corner of his mouth too.

But those sensations don’t register clearly.

It was because of one emotion that transcended the five senses.

The name of that emotion was ‘bewilderment’.

‘…What?’

‘Park Su-son’ couldn’t understand the current situation.

He had simply planned to keep using ‘Health Clap’ to crush his opponent, just like he did in the first round.

‘Did I get hit? Me?’

Something flashed before his eyes, and before he knew it, his head was thrown back.

Naturally, the skill he was trying to use was interrupted midway.

He didn’t know what it was, but it seemed he had been countered during ‘Health Clap’.

Zing.

“Ugh…!”

As the situation settled, he finally felt a sharp vibration in his nose.

‘Park Su-son’ unconsciously grabbed his nose.

“Damn… What the hell is this…?”

‘Park Su-son’ checked the damage window.

His health hadn’t dropped by much.

But the impact transmitted through his nose was far more intense than the damage.

‘It’s like… I actually got punched for real?’

‘Park Su-son’, clutching his face, used the Health Clap command once again.

Lucky break.

He thought the previous counter was just dumb luck.

Clunky and sluggish guys like that Full Phoenix had always been easy prey for him.

Like all techniques, Health Clap had its own counter method.

Exploiting the 3-frame window when Jackie-8 spreads both arms wide.

Though it was called a counter method, it was practically impossible.

Human dynamic vision and reaction speed couldn’t exploit a 3-frame window.

However,

Thwack!

“Ow…!”

Thwack!

“Gah.”

Hae-rang was casually accomplishing that impossible feat.

The viewers were equally unable to understand the situation.

-What..?

-Why does his technique keep getting interrupted?

-Wasn’t that Health Clap? Was it a different skill?

-No, the command was definitely Health Clap.

-But he keeps getting countered? By Full Phoenix’s light attack spam?

-Hahahaha Park Soo-son got black eyes and bruises all over

-Do steel alloys get bruises too? (genuinely curious)

Thwack!

Thwack!

“Gyaaaah!”

【K.O.!】

【Full Phoenix WIN!】

From start to finish.

Full Phoenix claimed victory using nothing but light punches that landed perfect counters.

The score was 1 to 1.

Breaking through the bustling chat window with a loud voice, someone asked a question,

and that person was Joint.

“Gwa, Gwanjong Cheonma!”

“Is it okay to talk during a match?”

“Ah, it’s not allowed. But let me ask just one thing!”

“Go ahead.”

“How did you do that just now?”

“Do what?”

“Health Clap! I mean, how did you counter ‘SSDG’?”

“Oh, that.”

Perhaps it was because of Full Phoenix’s spiky hair.

Hae-rang’s expression looked quite innocent.

“The viewers told me about it.”

“What?”

“Our channel viewers taught us the strategy. We’re grateful for that.”

“…No, I mean…”

If knowing how to do something meant you could actually do it.

Everyone would be pro gamers and everyone would be on the national team.

How could he say that so casually?

Even the viewers who had taught him the method were dumbfounded.

-He really caught a 3-frame and counterattacked? You’re saying he saw it and reacted?

-How did he manage ‘Health Clap’ when even the startup motion is short?

-At that point, isn’t it more like future sight rather than seeing and reacting? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Was it really us who taught him?(sniff)

-I mean, I did tell you how to do it… but who actually goes through with it for real? lololol

-For real. Eyes aside, it seems like a response that requires fundamentals trained to the extreme.

-Hoooo. Fundamentals?

Basic attacks.

For Gwanjong Cheonma’s viewers, it was a word that struck differently.

With Zangief too.

And with Full Phoenix too.

When Hae-rang started a game, he would steadily practice basic attacks first.

Flashy skills were important, but he had a philosophy that mastering basic movements was essential to becoming an expert.

The past position of Heavenly Demon was no exaggeration to say it was the result of that boring and grueling simple training.

-Is this why I’ve been grinding story mode nonstop? lololol

-The big picture is insane.

-You’d need to use dynamic vision, reaction speed, and reflexes all to the extreme, right?

-Our Gwanjong pulls off that difficult feat!

“Crazy bastard…”

‘Park Su-son’ spat out curses.

During his rapid promotion from orange rank to gold rank, there wasn’t a single person who responded this way.

Even Joint would switch from his main Briar to a character with good matchup against Jackie-8 when facing Park Su-son.

【Round Three! Fight!】

“Ha!”

With the start, ‘Park Su-son’ approached like lightning and leaped forward.

He still didn’t understand it, but Gwanjong Cheonma could counter Health Clap.

Using it at close range had a high probability of getting countered.

In that case,

“Clapping at mid-range where light punch can’t reach!”

It was simple but optimal response.

Among Full Phoenix’s sluggish attacks, light punch was the only one that could catch 3 frames.

Trading blows recklessly seemed fine too.

There were only two or three skills in ‘Iron Fist Seven’ that dealt more damage than Jackie-8’s ‘Health Clap’.

Then.

A tough voice burst out from Full Phoenix, who had been silent the whole time.

“Ooh-ah!”

“!”

Simultaneously, Park Su-son remembered.

A one-hit kill skill that rivaled ‘Health Clap’, no, was even stronger than Health Clap.

The fact that such a thing existed for Full Phoenix.

Kuaang!

“Ugyaak!”

“…”

Park Su-son and Full Phoenix simultaneously struck each other hard.

In terms of damage, both were skills that were nothing to be envious of.

The entire screen shook with a thunderous roar.

Both used their techniques, both got hit.

Both health bars were chunked down significantly.

But even amid that, a clear difference existed.

Roll roll roll roll.

The massive iron body rolled like a huge wheel.

The impact was so strong that hundreds of kilograms of body weight had to roll for a while before stopping.

On the other hand, Full Phoenix’s side,

Swish.

All he did was wipe away a drop of blood from his lips with his thumb.

“…!”

One side rolled and tumbled for a while, the other still stood in place.

Just from the situation unfolding before their eyes, it was easy enough to guess.

Which side had taken the greater impact.

“Kuhuk!”

Jackie-8 tried to get up from his position but gasped for breath.

Seeing that, the viewers excitedly chattered away.

-Hahahahaha breathe! Breathe!

-Wow, shit, I thought a war broke out. I didn’t even turn up the volume, what was that sound?

-Got a complaint about noise from neighbors so I’ll probably have to mute it ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Holy shit that destructive power lmaooo this is collapse fantasy!

-Bung-ta is strong for sure, but wasn’t this one particularly insane?

-ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ This time too, an exclamation mark appeared on Boonta. Smash was activated.

-Fuck, what happens if you add smash to an already strong boonta every time? Are you telling the opponent to just get wrecked? lol

-It’s actually split apart over there lol ㅇㅅㅇ hahaha

-Split in half and die!

When smash is applied, damage increases by more than 10% compared to normal.

A value equivalent to 35% of the total health bar.

There was a reason the term ‘3-Hit Collapse Curry’ existed.

Thud thud thud!

Full Phoenix, who had been counterattacking the whole time, suddenly charged forward.

Beyond Jackie-8, who had rolled away endlessly like a snowball, he had spotted something.

-Go Gwanjong!

-Tear apart Park Su-son’s palms!

-Rock paper scissors? Our Gwanjong’s fist beats paper!

Jackie-8 had just barely managed to catch his breath.

Naturally, he had no time to block Full Phoenix’s approach.

As if backed by the viewers’ momentum.

Full Phoenix quickly approached and drew a semicircle with his upper body.

“D-don’t be ridiculous!”

Park Su-son panicked and took a ‘parrying’ stance.

If he could just deflect the Bung-ta through parrying, he planned to counter with Health Clap.

However,

Hesitation.

“?!”

The ‘Bung-ta’ he thought would naturally come didn’t appear.

Gwanjong Cheonma’s signature move.

He had moved his upper body with realistic motion, but hadn’t used his hands.

“Shi… t! Move!”

Park Su-son’s face went pale as he forced his body to move.

But like all skills, parrying also has a delay after using the skill.

Would his stiffened body recover first.

Or would Hae-rang’s skill connect first.

The answer was,

“Ooh-ah!”

The latter.

Kwaaaaang!

“Kweeeeek!”

Park Su-son’s waist folded in half.

A tremendous shock like fuses blowing in his head!

Even getting hit in the abdomen in real life probably wouldn’t hurt this much.

Unfortunately, Park Su-son’s ordeal didn’t end there.

Crack!!

What Hae-rang had spotted behind Jackie-8.

It was the ‘wall’ at the very edge of the building.

When a character hits the wall hard, they don’t fall to the ground but temporarily enter a groggy state.

They become limp like a squid hanging on a line.

The groggy state where defense is impossible.

Naturally, this means being defenseless against techniques.

“Ooh-ah!”

“…!”

A hellish voice that instantly awakened his fading consciousness.

Park Su-son flailed his arms desperately trying to block somehow.

But once caught in a ‘wall combo’, defense is impossible.

Poor Park Su-son took a direct hit from ‘Bung-ta’ for the third time this round alone.

Kwaaaaang!!!

“Ugyaaaaa!”

Park Su-son’s screams spread slowly with slow motion.

As ‘Bung-ta’ exploded as the finishing technique, the screen closed up and clearly showed Park Su-son’s face.

It was an expression so drenched in pain it made viewers cringe.

【K.O.!】

【Full Phoenix WIN!】

-Yeah! This is the taste! This is why we play Full Phoenix!

-Three consecutive smashes? Was triggering smash with Bung-ta this easy?

-Easy my ass. Can you move as fast as Gwanjong Cheonma?

-Even the same ‘Bung-ta’ has different levels. If it’s that fast, smash would naturally trigger.

-How many Bung-ta hits was that just now? Three times?

-So fucking pathetic. Watching him get beat up is making me sick to my stomach lololololol

-For real, the pasta I ate for dinner is coming back up

-Nutritionist Full Phoenix kindly confirming what you ate ^0^

-If it’s three rooms of bungta, that’s literally “3-bung curry” lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-How long has it been since I’ve seen 3-stock? lololol Smash needs to keep trending for this to be possible, right?

-Logically, if you die to three skills in a room, the game is poorly made, but ‘Bung-ta’ makes sense.

-At this point, I genuinely want to see it. A beginner taking down the golden tier lololol

-Gwanjong Cheonma fighting! Not doing sneaky mission stuff, just throwing in direct support.

-Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I’m not gonna be sneaky and do missions! I’m just gonna throw down cold hard cash right away!

【I Don’t Just Talk has donated 20,000 won!】

【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Please teach me how to land Smash properly】

【Miracle Mathematician has donated 30,000 won!】

【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Three Bung-ta = Triple Bung Curry = Thirty thousand won】

【Round Four! Fight!】

Where did that aggressive momentum from the previous round go?

Full Phoenix isn’t moving from his position.

Though it felt strange, Park Su-son also couldn’t approach carelessly.

The terror from ‘Bung-ta’ was already deeply engraved in his bones.

Shudder.

Gwanjong Cheonma had been swimming lost in the turbulent waves of praise.

Hae-rang soon returned to his normal state.

“Everyone… thank you.”

Praise makes whales dance.

Praise accompanied by donations makes the Heavenly Demon go wild.

Gwanjong Cheonma’s Muheui was just beginning now.
