Episode 220

Ha Yun-ho, watching from behind, spotted it first.
Wind Sword and Alpaca noticed it almost simultaneously with Ha Yun-ho, their eyes fixed on the space above.
Rumi was healing earnestly when Wind Sword suddenly stopped attacking and pointed upward with his finger.
The sky had changed.

* * *

Dokkaebi looked up at the sky.
Everything seemed to move slowly. He had poured all his focus into blocking the opponent just moments before.
He had entered the Hyper-Focus State.
For the first time in a desperate situation where he wanted to block even once, he had entered the world that the pros spoke of.
From that moment, he became aware that something was different from usual, and even as he became aware, his concentration never wavered.
Even now, in defeat, it remained the same.
The consequence of failure appeared above his head.
In his accelerated consciousness where the surroundings had slowed, what was reflected in his pupils was a rift that had formed directly overhead.
And beyond that rift, a massive pure white blade shone brilliantly.
The handle was not visible.
Only the enormous blade stretched endlessly into view.
A sight only those directly beneath it could see, invisible from the sides—a privilege of sorts.
Or was it a privilege at all?
This could not possibly be a privilege.
In a space as empty as the void itself, the white blade was tearing through the rift as it prepared to descend.
The tip of the blade had already protruded, breathing in the same air of the battlefield, so from the side one would at least see the sharp end of the blade that had split the sky.
The Judgment Sword tears the sky.
It descends from the heavens and drives a massive blade through, pronouncing a death sentence.
Now that blade was scheduled to fall toward the Heretics at an overwhelming speed after a 0.5-second delay.
But there was not one rift. Not two.
Five.
Simultaneously, the blades were preparing to descend, radiating terrifying destructive power.
Crackle.
It seemed as though he heard that sound in his ears. Even though the game company hadn’t added it.
This. This sight was overwhelming.
‘What am I supposed to do…….’
In that brief moment before the fall, countless thoughts swirled through Dokkaebi’s mind.
Wasn’t this going too far?
A 3-Man Ultimate. He could have endured that.
A 4-Man Ultimate? Honestly, he hadn’t even imagined it, thinking it would be impossible in actual teamfights, in real situations.
But the enemy had moved from the very beginning, from the moment of the ambush and the invulnerability rune, solely for the Judgment Sword.
Then the story was different.
If that was what they were aiming for.
If they had intended to finish them using four—no, five massive blades like this.
No.
Did they intend to go for a Penta Kill from the start? No matter how invulnerable or how visible the pattern was.
Who would ever think to attempt that? Who would even predict it?
Someone might have predicted it.
‘So.’
When would that thing finally fall?
Then, as Dokkaebi’s accelerated thoughts reached their peak—
.
.
.

Boom!
Five massive blades pierced through the five Heretics in an instant, destroying everything around them.
And.

[Penta Kill!]

* * *

[Holy shit. Fucking hell. Fucking hell. That’s just insane! Holy shit!!!!!]
==
This guy’s completely unhinged lolololol fucking hell. No seriously. Wow. Damn it.
==

-lolololol why can’t the author speak properly lololol
└That’s genuinely a play that makes you curse in amazement lolololol
-But how could he even— lololololol

[Wow lolol Wow… seriously. Wow……]

-Everyone’s lost their ability to speak lololololol why can only curse or say wow lololololol
-This guy’s insane
-I literally… did I just piss myself?
-No! No! No! Damn it!
└Did the comments catch the speech loss too? lololol
└That doesn’t make sense

[But. Why is the sky splitting right there???? wtf lololololololololol why??? lolol]
==
Since when did he do this lololololol
==

-He was doing it from the start
-Did anyone catch on?

[How… how the hell did he do that???]

-For real lololololololol
-Like how did he even do that lololololololololololololololololololol
-I’m completely speechless
-Kael is a broken hero
└Seriously?
└Limited to ‘Geomsin’
└ roger

[Just ‘Geomsin’]
==
That one word says it all.
==

-‘God’
-He really lived up to his nickname at the end lololololololololol
-If Geomsin isn’t the one pulling off a Penta Kill on Kael, then who the hell is?
-A legend in its purest form

An enormous flood of posts regenerated in an instant.
You’d think there had never been this volume of posts in the history of Riven.
Dozens of pages were being added every second.
It was the finals.
Many users had already been interested. It was a match that might be the last one.
Everyone who had heard of Rios would turn on Travel if they had the time to watch this moment.
And then a Penta Kill appeared?

[Our Guild Master]
==
Riven supports Seo Jun as guild master.
==

-From now on only Geomsin can use the title of guild master
└That guy???? That g-u-y????
-Agreed

In the free forums, someone was even claiming that the unique title of guild master in each Travel streamer’s channel should be attributed to Seo Jun, and the Kael forums were in equal uproar.

[Wow. They asked for a Kael 3-Man Ultimate and he shows a 5-Man one. Wow, that’s just moving. Even though I got shat on as a viewer all this time, I support Seo Jun. Unconditionally. If he plays another game? I still support him.]

-The streamer tastes great and the guild master is kind!
└That’s not even a joke anymore, it’s just nonsense lololololololololololololololololololol
└If you’re going to use a meme, at least make an effort to match the format lolololol
└When has the guild master ever been kind lolol
└The guild master just showed us Kael’s 5-Man Ultimate, a miracle most followers will never see, and you’re saying that’s not kind? Serious question? (OP)

[Kael tears the sky!]
==
My Kael gets torn!
(Image of Kael with KDA 0/11/0)
==

-lololol
-Did that player even use Judgment Sword once?
└Nope but today I saw it (OP)
└What did you see
└New post incoming (OP)

[Today I witnessed the ideal form of Kael.]
==
I found the path I should aspire toward.
And until I reach that place, there will be no employment from here on!
Training. Training alone!
By the way, I’m Kim Pil-gyou, 28 years old, unemployed, only son of three generations. (Planning to change my name to Kim Seo Jun)
==

-lololololololol don’t change your real name
└Real name lololol the word “name” exists lololol
-So you’re saying you’ll stay unemployed until you can pull off a Penta Kill?
└Call me a seeker of the Way (OP)
└Seeker of the Way (speaking formally)
└(Changing my God-given name to that of a streamer I was deeply moved by)
-Didn’t only a few people manage a 2-Man Ultimate up to now?

[Eric hitting chains every second is broken? lolololol You can’t block that so you ban it and leave Kael open?]
==
I’ll shove the Judgment Sword Penta Kill right in his face.
Kael is the greatest hero!
==

-Only a ‘God’ can pull off a Penta Kill
└Eric’s the same way
-Seeing them all die from the 5-stack Judgment Sword hit at the end proves Kael is the best

[Kael nerf confirmed lolololol wtf]
==
The pattern’s gonna change too
==

-Go ahead and change the pattern. Geomsin will just figure it out~~~
└lololol give me a break. He just got lucky matching well with what the game company designed, he got rich playing Kael, change the pattern and he’ll be helpless
└It’s shocking that there’s a guy like this who watched a Penta Kill and still talks like this
└Please, for the sake of healthy Travel culture, hold your breath for just 10,000 seconds!
└You just killed my IQ you asshole
└It’s IP not IQ you dumbass lolololol (OP)
└You from Incheon?
└(Comment deleted by withdrawn user)
└lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololl pants run lmaooo
└Have faith in Geomsin asshole

Whether someone panicked and lost their community account or not, people continued posting.

[Wow… Kael damn it. It’s Kael. I gotta play Kael today. So I came to the Kael forums.]
[This isn’t the Kael forums. This is the Seo Jun forums.]
[The sky…… he really tore it apart. Really.]
[My dreams came true!]
[The end of romance]
[Just a guy driving everyone insane]
[The great Seo Jun]

All these posts were uploaded simultaneously by hundreds of thousands of excited users in just one minute.
And the broadcast commentary.

-…
-????
-Wait
-?

[Connecting to chat….]

The Travel chat had lagged. More than lagged—it crashed.
Everyone showed the connecting message.
Of course, the lag wasn’t limited to the chat.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
If the chat had been functioning normally.

-lololololololol the casters’ eyes are gonna fall out
-Why did the commentators stop?
-Bang Ju’s feeling the victory rush with his whole body right now lololololololololol you can see it in his face
-Penguin, you… get out! lololololololololol you got it wrong till the end right?

These were the comments that would have been posted.
Eventually the error was fixed. Professional announcer Arin’s error was fixed first.
“Wow!! No, wow. No. First of all, Penta Kill!”
Along with her, the chat was resolved.

-Even a 2-Man Ultimate gets wild lololololololololol but a 5-Man lololol
-Not enough damage you say? Five Judgment Swords lololololololololololololololololololol
-Judgment Sword punch! Judgment Sword punch! Judgment Sword punch! Judgment Sword punch! Judgment Sword punch! Judgment Sword punch!
-The guild master tears the sky! The guild master tears the sky! The guild master tears the sky! The guild master tears the sky!
-Who am I? Wealth Gap shareholder. Who am I? Wealth Gap shareholder. Who am I? Wealth Gap shareholder. Who am I? Wealth Gap shareholder.
-Lottery just hit
-Penguin, awaken! Awaken!
-Penguin should go pro at the next Rios and pull off a Judgment Sword Penta Kill too

“Insane! Absolutely insane! Throughout the League’s entire history! Across all games including professional matches, this is the kind of moment that would rank among the most spectacular plays ever!”
It wasn’t because of the 2-Man Ultimate that only a few could pull off. The reason 1 million Kael believers were born was that even a single Judgment Sword alone was the stuff of dreams.
But five?
“If the game The League were made into a book! This sight would be worthy of being the highlight, a single page in that history book!”
Arin was convinced that anyone who wouldn’t acknowledge this had simply not seen the play.
Bang Ju also came to his senses and shouted.
“This. Nobody could have predicted this!”
Because 4-Man Ultimates were considered impossible.
Because Seo Jun had only shown 2-Man Ultimates in his many Kael games so far.
A 3-Man Ultimate might be possible, but anything after that in real matches seemed a bit much.
“This was the invulnerability rune for! It was the rune! A pick designed to perfectly cap off the final!”
“Indeed!”
“And the result?”
Wealth Gap groups up and pushes mid.
Wind Sword in particular seemed deeply moved, but was trying to end the game.
And.
“Ah! The players’ movements have stopped!”
There was only one case when this happened.
When the game ended.
Bang Ju shouted.
“Surrender! A surrender vote came from the opposing team and the game has ended unanimously!”
“GG GG! The championship team is Wealth Gap!”
“Wealth Gap, becoming the first champions in Rios history to win through a surrender! First ever!”

-Yeah!
-Champions!!!!!!!
-The guild master got the championship! The guild master got it!
-Guild master! Guild master! Guild master! Guild master!
-Leave the other streamers’ channels!!!!!
-In the end he was Geomsin itself lololol
-Jealous of the 100 million lololol!!!!!

It was a surrender, but no one would criticize the opposing team for it. It was already a lost game, but the surrender amplified the impact of the victor.
This was an action for the opponent.
Just saying they mentally broke?
That could be true too.
Bang Ju, who had been chuckling, briefly cleared his throat and thought.
‘What’s left now? An interview? Since Seo Jun’s won the championship, maybe he’ll show something cool and composed?’

* * *

Meanwhile, from the moment he witnessed Seo Jun’s Kael 5-Man Ultimate, Jo Am was already ferrying the clip to overseas communities without time to savor the moment.

[Mystery of the East]

Under a title like that.
Then Jo Am suddenly paused, realizing he was missing something, bowing his head and sifting through his thoughts.
And remembering one fact, he slapped his mouth with his palm.
“Right. Points.”
The payout ratio on Wealth Gap was 22%.
The points he had wagered were 30 million.
Payout ratio on victory: 4.5x.
So?
“Damn…….”
In this Rios.
Alongside Geomsin, the God of Wealth had descended as well.
