Chapter 406 - 406

Chapter 406

[*Games part 3]

As expected of the finals, there was a bit of a counterattack in the second set.

As if to prove that the Specter didn't just get here by luck, they successfully evaded my attacks and even dealt damage.

For the first time, my damage hit percentage accumulated to over 10%.

'The attack just now was pretty good, wasn't it?'

I gave a passing grade to the nimble movements of the bomber controlled by Ken Hashimoto.

No matter how much my control is unrivaled, 'Hawk' is a hero who has to dig in at close range.

That's why there are bound to be many reckless and linear movements, but if you open the distance or suddenly rise into the air, many of your attacks will miss.

But that's it.

You can show off a brilliant move once in a while, but the tactics here are different.

"That's right! Hey, just hit! Keep hitting! Don't stop hitting!"

Kang Si-yoon chose 'Basher' and was blocking the opponent's retreat.

As my exclusive combo was about to start towards the cornered Spector members, Kang Si-yoon shouted in a very excited voice.

Are you the kid who just told me I was too excited?

Now he's telling me to go and beat everyone up first.

Well, since Kang Si-yoon said that, it's not my fault.

If you're going to say that I'm too merciless to the kids, I wish you would hold Kang Si-yoon responsible.

Still, the Spector team, perhaps because they remembered being knocked out by my finisher in the first set, tried hard not to fill up 'Hawk's' rage gauge.

However, there was one thing they overlooked.

I can easily accumulate the damage gauge to over 400% without using my ultimate.

Repeat, repeat.

Lift into the air and strike again. After an uppercut, slam him down to the ground, then link up with Kang Si-yoon and strike again.

After pressing the controller for 2 minutes like that and stabbing the fist wrapped in flames, Ken Hashimoto and his friend flew to the edge of the map and were knocked out.

[Linked quest, 'Win with a set of no losses' completed.]

[Rewards will be paid.]

Nothing unexpected happened.

I had to invest a lot of my energy, but somehow I managed to win the set of no losses without losing a single set.

"Wow!"

"Karis! Kang Si-yoon! Karis! Kang Si-yoon!"

"Seleste! Seleste!"

The members who were watching the finals from the seats right in front of the stadium immediately ran out with their arms outstretched.

I don't know when they got them, but they were all holding cheering sticks.

With everyone linking arms around each other and calling our names and chanting Seleste, it felt like we were a primitive tribe.

It's like the ancients celebrating their victory by lighting a campfire under the moonlight.

And from far away, I saw Seleves who came to the scene, waving their cheering sticks like crazy and cheering. Seeing them made me feel energized.

I clenched my fists toward the fans and gave them my determination.

There are still two more games left.

I have to show Seleves who came all this way to watch our game the best.

So that they can smile more confidently than any other fandom that came here.

'I will definitely win the remaining two games.'

The lunch we had after the heated duel was truly sweet.

While eating the hearty lunchbox prepared by Sigma Entertainment, Ji Yoon-chul must have suddenly thought of the fans.

"...The fans who came here are also eating their lunchboxes well, right?"

"Yeah, the fan managers must be handing them out by now."

".........That's fortunate."

We can be even more powerful because there are Seleves who come to give us unchanging support no matter where we are or what we do.

I took a big bite of the hamburger steak and gave my words of encouragement to the members.

"We already won one gold medal, but we don't want to be satisfied here. We want to show our fans a great performance by pouring out all our abilities in the remaining two events."

"Oh..."

"This passionate appearance of Karis.........."

Song Hyung-bin said, wiping his eyes as if he was slightly moved.

"Why are you saying such normally touching things?"

"Of course, while thoroughly destroying and disposing of everything that stands in our way-."

"No. I said it wrong."

"Never let your guard down and make sure that the last enemy's life is taken-"

"I understand, I understand! Stop it!"

However, unlike my passion, did not have a one-sided appearance like .

"Hey, who's running next to you! Hyung-bin hyung, watch out!"

"Sorry, I'm dead!"

"Ah, if this goes on like this, the base will be taken away for too long? We have to bring it back next time unconditionally!"

"Uwah, because of me-!"

"Everyone, stay calm. Especially Yubin. It's not your fault, so don't panic."

We caused a huge discord from the first match of the round of 16.

Unlike where only 2 people had to participate, is an FPS game where 5 people form a team.

Each player's role is also set, so naturally, those who are in charge of the dealer role cannot heal or tank.

In short, it means that I can't run around the entire battlefield and exert influence.

I changed my strategy while checking the members who were being swayed by the opponent's side play.

'In this case, it's more important to create variables than to fight head-on.'

This is the most basic quality that a commander on the battlefield must have.

Quickly figure out what tactics the opponent is using, and then find a way to destroy them.

I changed my hero to a sniper.

"Hey, is that okay? They're hitting hard, don't you think you'll get bitten often?"

"It's okay. This is the only way to suppress the opponent's side play."

"Huh?"

I ignored Kang Si-yoon's bewildered words and gave instructions to everyone.

"The opponent will definitely retreat to me, the sniper. So, try to join the position as far back as possible, and don't look at the sides too much. And if they come to me, I'll hit their heads first, so don't worry."

"There are a lot of guys flying around like that, so you're going to take their heads off?"

"Trust me."

If someone else said that, they'd probably tell me to put the sniper down right away.

However, since I've shown them so far, the members nodded their heads, trusting me.

I took a deep breath and tightly closed my eyes, then opened them.

I kept my breathing steady and focused all my nerves on the monitor.

I have to capture even the smallest movements.

And I have to react according to those movements.

In a situation where things are a little bit dry, creating these variables is the most important.

Just like cutting down enemy generals to boost the morale of soldiers in war, something similar is needed now.

Whenever such urgent times came, my body never let me down.

Today, it showed off its overwhelming physicality as usual.

"Two cuts. Min-ha, you can enter."

"Wow, Karis hyung is crazy!"

"What is that Killlog painting!"

I easily wiped out a dealer flying in the sky, and I also sent a fly-like guy harassing the healers from behind to the respawn area with a single headshot.

Once I started getting hit, the heat gradually accumulated on my body.

I converted that hot heat into adrenaline and used my body vision to annihilate the enemies one by one.

"We won!"

"Wow, I really thought we were going to lose at first!"

"You did well. Yubin also overcame the difficulties in the beginning well."

"This would have been really hard if Karis hyung hadn't gotten 3 people in the middle, but this is really great."

"As expected, human weapon! Seleste's ultimate weapon! Super soldier!"

"How far can the modifiers go?"

We overcame the bad flow and won the quarterfinals and semifinals relatively easily.

The idol group Haslay, who we faced in the semifinals, took a risk by taking out a counter-sniper against me, but unfortunately, the match ended with me killing the opposing sniper 6 times cleanly.

So we were on the verge of winning the championship title again, but Uptime, whom we met in the finals, was extremely strong.

"Hey, they're all pushing in at once!"

"We have to protect the line behind us! All the healers are gone!"

"I'm dead! Sorry!"

"We're all wiped out."

Unlike our opponents in the round of 16, Uptime didn't just follow the dealers, but showed off an incredible combination of 5 people, including the tank, running at the same time.

Several large sized guys would rush in at once, so it was very difficult to kill the small healers or dealers in between.

I tried to change the mood by continuing to increase kills here and there, but it was not enough to break through Uptime's attack and defense, which moved as if they were one body.

"Ah......…. I was so bad at this."

"No, no. Dude, you did well enough. Where's the runner-up."

"I was so bad at the dash counter........."

Heo Yu-bin, who was constantly shot down by Uptime's rush combination, blamed himself for this defeat.

However, the members consoled him, saying that they had also played wrongly.

It is the essence of teamwork, not blaming others.

'These guys are better than most generals in the empire!'

This is just a simple game, but in , weren't we fighting a war that would determine the fate of humanity?

Even in such a tense situation, there were many incompetent generals who only blamed others.

One of the things I did right after I went to the battlefield as the crown prince was to reorganize the military.

I sent the incompetent guys to the rear and kept only the competent ones by my side.

Seeing this warm-hearted sight now, if the members were in , they would have defeated them in 10 years, or even in 5 years. I have a feeling that it's neck may have been cut off.

I have to work harder.

I put aside the regret of second place and once again made up my mind to definitely win the next event.

Yes, I could lose in the FPS genre that I haven't played much of.

But what's the next event?

I've played it a lot since the old days, and this was held to commemorate some event.

It's the World Cup.

This last event could be said to be the main event of this competition.

Before the tournament began, we had a brief strategy meeting.

"Should Eun-gyu hyung not go this time either? But I think he should go at least once."

"Wouldn't it be a big deal if I go?"

"Hyung, you'd be upset if you didn't do it at all. I can rest this time."

Song Hyung-bin wanted Chae Eun-gyu to go to the team match because it was meaningful for everyone to do it together.

Chae Eun-gyu also had a slightly anxious look in his eyes, but he didn't say no because he seemed to have some desire to play in the game.

I thought about various strategies in my head and soon asked Chae Eun-gyu.

"Eun-gyu hyung-nim. Didn't you practice a little bit with the champion I mentioned last time?"

"Oh, that guy. Yeah, I saw the layouts too. I got Bronze 1, but...."

"It's okay if you know how to do it."

That's exactly right.

Unlike FPS games where team members' synergy is extremely necessary, 'Call' gives you enough rewards if one person is overwhelmingly good.

You get more money to buy items, or you can level up faster and grow to 100% much earlier than your opponent.

I said while cracking my wrist.

"This time, I'm going to dominate the battlefield."
