[The duel will start shortly.]
[5... 4... 3... 2... 1.]
[The duel has started.]
“Don’t be too nervous. You will lose when you’re fighting someone like me. Think of it as an experience,” Park Junu taunted Hyeonu.
However, Hyeonu didn’t listen to Park Junu. Hyeonu was thinking about the current situation. It was about the realistic power difference between himself and Park Junu.
‘Based on the items he’s wearing, he is approximately level 40 based. Most of the items range from normal to uncommon for the warrior class.’
Assuming that Park Junu was an average warrior player, he would’ve invested two points in strength, one in agility, and two in physique with every level up. This meant his strength was 90, his agility 50, and his physique 90.
‘If I use the skill attached to the ring, my strength will boil over while my agility will be lacking. Still, I will win.’
Hyeonu was confident in his control. If he couldn’t win against a small fry like this, it would be impossible for him to make money by coming back to the game. At this thought, Hyeonu moved.
Park Junu, who had swung his sword first, teetered. “Where are you?”
Park Junu also avoided Hyeonu’s attack, as if this level of attack wasn’t enough to harm him. He quickly launched a counterattack using his high agility stat. By Park Junu’s standards, this was the best attack. Nevertheless, this was only at Park Junu’s level.
Hyeonu gently deflected the sword that was approaching with enough momentum to split apart his head.
“!!!” Park Junu saw Hyeonu gently deflect his attack, and anxiety appeared in his mind. He started to once again wonder if Hyeonu was a hunter. Park Junu shook his head violently to get rid of the uneasy feelings and swung his sword faster.
From the beginning, Hyeonu had no intention of prolonging this duel when it involved deleting a character. He wanted to get it done as quickly as possible. Therefore, he took a more aggressive offensive. Hyeonu’s longsword drew a neat line and cut at Park Junu’s thigh. Blood started to flow from the open wound.
At this moment, Hyeonu had a strange thought. It was normal for a person to frown when they got hit. Yet this person’s expression didn’t change at all. No, there was a change. This person was just unhappy. It was the unpleasantness of being hit by a blow from the opponent he had no expectations of.
‘Don’t tell me... Did he shut off the pain sensation altogether?’
“It will be easier than I thought.”
Hyeonu changed his plan. There was no need for excessive gambling.
‘Giant’s Power.’
[Giant's Power has been used.]
[Your strength stat has increased.]
‘My strength stat will be 120 for the next five minutes.’
It was enough time to beat his opponent.
“Shit! Will I lose to a beginner?” Park Junu shouted as he allowed Hyeonu’s attacks. His attacks missed or were blocked. Meanwhile, his opponent’s attacks injured him. Park Junu’s anger erupted. His combat effectiveness declined. The black trajectory of his sword headed toward Hyeonu, but he only cut through empty air.
Park Junu was lost in his anger, and his sword path was extremely straight. Such an attack couldn’t do any damage to Hyeonu. Perhaps it would’ve been different if he hadn’t used Giant’s Power, but Hyeonu’s already boiling strength meant Park Junu couldn’t gain any slight advantage. Rather, Hyeonu’s perfect control caused Park Junu to be hurt repeatedly and withdraw often.
In some ways, it was natural. Putting the stats aside, the problem was the difference in skill. The difference between Park Junu and Hyeonu was like the difference between heaven and earth!
“Why? Why?!! Why isn’t it hitting?”
“It isn’t that it isn’t hitting. You can’t hit me. You should know your subject.”
“Idiot. It isn’t possible for you. You have no talent,” Hyeonu added in a low voice, but Park Junu could hear it.
“It has been five minutes. Let’s finish this now.”
Hyeonu’s words precisely pierced Park Junu, who had already lost half his spirit.
‘Idiot? I don’t have talent? Me? Park Junu? Lose to this beginner brat?’
“Die!!!!” Park Junu screamed and ran toward Hyeonu.
“Those are just words. What can you do with that body...”
‘Block it,’ Park Junu instinctively thought when he saw the blade flying toward him. He tried to stop the sword, but his body didn’t listen.
“There is only death.”
It was a brutal sentence, but Park Junu couldn’t hear it. His head had already been blown away by Hyeonu’s longsword. Park Junu fell to the ground without even a scream.
Thump!
[You have won the duel.]
[The rewards will be paid in accordance to the rule of ‘winner-takes-all.’]
“How much do you have?”
What was this wealth? This was Hyeonu’s impression of the inventory he obtained from Park Junu.
