Chapter 52
White Fang was a monster very familiar to Users.
Because it was a level 52 monster that appeared in all Beginner Zones.
It was one of the national monsters of the Beginner Zone, to the extent that probably everyone here had hunted at least 500 of them.
Such White Fang had appeared not at level 52, but having skyrocketed to level 120.
Three times larger than its original size, with bloodshot eyes filled with killing intent and purple saliva dripping from its mouth.
[Users in the Colosseum fall into a ‘Fear’ state.]
To make matters worse, being forcibly afflicted with ‘Status Abnormality: Fear’, the Users in the Colosseum could only tremble with pale blue faces.
“Ugh, damn it! We need to hide inside!”
“Get out of the way!”
All they could do was hope that other Users would be eliminated first.
Users with relatively less strength were pushed aside by stronger Users and became prey for White Fang.
“Kraak!”
“Aaak!”
Against the countless rushing White Fangs, Users died being torn apart without being able to put up much resistance.
Among them, there was also a User charging at White Fang.
It was Jung Hoon.
‘The best defense is offense.’
Level 120 White Fangs would keep pouring out until the round criteria were met.
So if he dealt with White Fangs appropriately, the round would end on its own.
“Grrrung!”
White Fangs surrounded Jung Hoon.
At that moment, Jung Hoon deployed Divine Movement and struck a White Fang’s face with his fist.
Dark energy slowly rose from his fist.
Myeongwang Martial Arts 1st Star.
“Kyaeng!”
With one punch, White Fang lost consciousness on the spot.
The level gap between it and Jung Hoon was 19.
But Jung Hoon was in a state where all his abilities had greatly increased after consuming secret medicines.
The destructive power of the Legendary grade Myeongwang Fist Technique was beyond imagination.
“Human! Kill him!”
When its companion fell, the eyes of the White Fang next to it changed.
[White Fang uses ‘Ferocity’.]
And it even deployed a unique skill that it originally couldn’t use.
The Development Team bastards had granted unique skills while raising the level.
When Ferocity was used, White Fang’s momentum became even more fierce.
‘Pushing through with pure Myeongwang Fist Technique alone is inefficient.’
There were too many of them.
Then there’s another method.
‘Black Field.’
The Black Field skill he had obtained from this Hidden Dungeon.
[Black Field is activated.]
When the skill was deployed, the ground around Jung Hoon turned black.
[All abilities are adjusted to 1.2 times.]
Despite being only Rare grade, it was an overpowered skill that increased all abilities by 1.2 times.
At the same time, White Fang’s abilities decreased.
[Due to Black Field’s influence, all abilities of monsters invading the area decrease by 3%.]
3%.
It was a minor figure, but for Jung Hoon, that alone was sufficient.
In life-or-death battles, victory and defeat are decided by even the smallest differences.
Jung Hoon deployed Divine Movement and unleashed Myeongwang Fist Technique toward the White Fang he targeted next.
“Kyaeng!”
“Kyeng kyeng!”
Every time he hit vital points, White Fang let out painful screams.
When there were over 20 White Fangs crawling on the ground like that, suddenly all the White Fangs swarming in the Colosseum disappeared at once.
‘Is it over?’
White Fang disappearing meant that Round 1-2 had ended.
Jung Hoon canceled Black Field and straightened his posture.
[Round 1-2 has ended.]
[Currently surviving Users: 50.]
[1st Colosseum is concluding.]
[Automatic transfer to 2nd Colosseum in 5 minutes.]
With Round 1-2 ending, a 5-minute break time was given.
“Crazy…”
“Does that make sense? How can a Lower Martial Artist fight so well?”
The surviving survivors were desperately focused on survival while also watching Jung Hoon’s battle in a daze.
At the same time, they thought.
Even if they advanced to higher rounds, they would absolutely never mess with that Martial Artist.
A Lower Warrior approached such a Martial Artist.
“Excuse me….”
Jung Hoon, who was catching his breath, slightly turned his head at the voice he heard from beside him.
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname : Crimson Red Hong
-Level : 98
-Class : Lower Warrior (1st)
===
He was a level 98 Lower Warrior.
“What is it?”
In fact, Jung Hoon had already finished assessing the Lower Warrior in front of him.
As soon as he entered the Colosseum, he had examined all the players nearby.
It was to prepare for surprise attacks at any time.
Of course, despite being placed only 20 meters away from Jung Hoon, unlike others, he hadn’t targeted Jung Hoon who was disguised as a Lower Martial Artist.
In that regard, his first impression wasn’t too bad for Jung Hoon.
“If you have such skills, why are you staying in the 1st tier?”
His question was a bit out of the blue.
“Excuse me?”
“I’m really curious about it… With such skills, it wouldn’t be strange if you had already completed a Rare Grade class change long ago.”
Even while speaking, he felt embarrassed.
When he first entered the Colosseum, Hong Jin Su had judged that Jung Hoon was in a similar situation to himself.
But that wasn’t the case.
Jung Hoon’s skills were the real deal among real deals.
He didn’t even have flashy Combat Skills, and with pure Fist Technique alone, he not only endured the beating from the Lv.120 White Fang but completely overwhelmed it.
“Did it look that way?”
The Black Field that Jung Hoon deployed couldn’t be confirmed with the naked eye unless you were within its range.
So to Hong Jin Su’s eyes, it would appear that Jung Hoon hunted the White Fang with pure Fist Technique alone.
“Yes.”
Hong Jin Su nodded his head.
“What you see isn’t everything.”
“Excuse me?”
“Just saying.”
“What do you mean….”
Hong Jin Su’s words couldn’t continue.
[You are entering the 2nd Colosseum.]
Because with that message, the bodies of 50 people glowed and disappeared.
* * *
2nd Colosseum.
The 2nd tier was also arranged with 200 people each.
‘The level is about the same.’
Jung Hoon, who looked around, quickly made his assessment.
Anyway, these were Users who remained because they couldn’t properly achieve their 2nd class change.
The skills of survivors and those who were eliminated weren’t much different.
It was determined by whether they were lucky or unlucky.
And in this Colosseum, Jung Hoon was the only Martial Artist.
Originally, assuming similar skills, it was a natural result since efficient classes had no choice but to survive in this environment.
Being selected as appetizing prey was the same this time too.
“A Martial Artist?”
“How did he survive? In our Colosseum, they died in the early stages.”
Mocking voices reached his ears.
‘How cute.’
Of course, it couldn’t deal any damage to Jung Hoon.
[Welcome to entering the 2nd Colosseum.]
[200 Users have been placed in each Colosseum.]
[From now on, advance to higher rounds through each round.]
[Only 200 people can enter the Final Colosseum.]
The 2nd Colosseum begins.
[Starting Round 2-1.]
[Combat mode is now activated.]
[When 100 people receive death judgment, Round 2-1 will end.]
[Additionally, bonus points will be awarded starting from the 2nd round.]
[When the event ends, these points will be reflected in ranking calculations.]
Round 2-1, conducted as a survival like the 1st round.
However, unlike the 1st Colosseum where the round progressed after 40 people were eliminated, this time it was 100 eliminations.
‘The real challenge must be starting from the 2nd round.’
If the 1st Colosseum had a large element of luck involved, from now on it would be purely based on skill.
And just like before, one warrior charged at Jung Hoon.
In survival situations, the weak dying first was a theory that applied everywhere.
Just like right now.
“Kuk!”
A scream burst from the mouth of the warrior who had charged at Jung Hoon.
It was because he had struck the guy’s solar plexus with the Myeongwang Fist Technique.
When the warrior collapsed foaming at the mouth from just one punch, the users who had been cautiously watching their surroundings all widened their eyes in unison.
“A level 101 took out a level 92 in one hit…?”
“That’s a Martial Artist, right? Wait, how is that possible?”
The warrior who had just fallen was level 92.
And Jung Hoon’s level was 101.
Level-wise, Jung Hoon had the advantage with a 9-level difference, but the problem was that Jung Hoon’s class was Martial Artist.
It wasn’t like Jung Hoon was wearing incredibly good equipment either.
Just one Epic Grade Hood.
Meanwhile, the opposing warrior was completely covered in Epic Grade Armor.
For such an opponent to go down in one hit was bewildering.
‘Next.’
Unlike during the 1st Colosseum, Jung Hoon had not even the slightest intention of leisurely watching.
Bonus points.
Those points would be reflected in the final ranking.
In a situation where he absolutely had to secure 1st place, he couldn’t just move with survival as his only goal.
He deployed his Divine Movement and began massacring the users.
“Kuk!”
“Aaaaah!”
* * *
‘What kind of monster is that…?’
A Mage was watching the Martial Artist’s massacre from a distance.
The one using the nickname Little Magic was not an ordinary Lower Mage, but a Mage who had completed the 1st class advancement to Magician, a Rare Grade class.
He was also a user who had successfully caught the attention of guilds by advancing to Rare Grade and was enjoying New World with lots of support.
However, the 2nd class advancement.
He needed to complete it with Epic Grade to aim for Unique Grade in the 3rd and 4th advancements, but Epic Grade had not yet been granted to him.
His level was already 89.
The guild that had spared no investment after seeing Little Magic’s early talent and potential was gradually starting to change their attitude.
First, they began gradually reducing the scale of their support.
Naturally, Little Magic couldn’t help but be anxious.
That’s why he had entered this event determined to complete an Epic Grade class advancement, and the 1st Colosseum had been an easy victory.
He had combat skills and evasion type skills that he used appropriately to succeed in survival.
But in the 2nd Colosseum, some monster was running wild.
‘Damn, that’s just a Lower Martial Artist?’
No matter how much he looked, the player information displayed Level 101 Lower Martial Artist (1st).
Even when he used the Search Skill that Magicians and above possessed, his player information remained the same.
So it was definitely a Lower Martial Artist…
“Kuk!”
Oh no!
Lost in thought, he had forgotten that the Martial Artist was approaching in this direction.
The distance between them was less than 50 meters.
Those with quick wits were desperately trying to survive by keeping their distance from the Martial Artist.
Little Magic hurriedly deployed his magic.
‘Haste.’
Thinking of fighting that monster here would be impossible unless he was completely insane.
He quickly cast Haste to distance himself from the Martial Artist.
But why?
Even though he tried to run away using Haste, the distance between him and the Martial Artist gradually closed.
The distance between them was about 5 meters.
‘Da, damn!’
I’m going to die!
Little Magic squeezed his eyes shut.
But even after time passed, he didn’t feel any pain.
When he slowly opened his eyes, the Martial Artist had passed by him and was still massacring other users.
‘Why…?’
Little Magic couldn’t hide his confused emotions.
* * *
[Round 1 has ended.]
[Currently 80 users remain alive.]
[Calculating bonus points based on number of kills.]
Jung Hoon glanced at Little Magic, who was staring at him blankly from a distance, and smiled slightly.
‘I’m seeing that guy here.’
Little Magic.
His real name was Hong Yoon Seong.
He was the same age, and while they weren’t exactly comrades, before his regression, Jung Hoon had coincidentally received help from him several times when he was a beginner.
In that process, they had become close enough to share personal stories.
‘He said he got thoroughly beaten in the event and even left his guild.’
He would not achieve good results in this event.
Even so, Jung Hoon didn’t want to deal with Hong Yoon Seong with his own hands.
While minor history had changed due to his regression, he didn’t want to interfere with the futures of those who had helped him.
The rest was Hong Yoon Seong’s responsibility.
[Finalizing bonus point calculation.]
[Please check your bonus points.]
‘560 points.’
The number of users Jung Hoon had eliminated was 56.
10 points were awarded per person.
560 points in the 2nd round was not a bad result.
[The next round will begin.]
Now the 2nd round was starting.
[Survive as long as possible.]
[When there are 10 survivors remaining, the 2nd round will end.]
A round proceeding with the same rules as the 1st round.
However, this time there would be 10 survivors.
This meant 70 more people would be eliminated.
‘The end is finally coming into view.’
The 3rd Colosseum would consist of the 10 people who survived here.
Jung Hoon’s eyes gleamed.
