Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 272: Juyoung Hong (4)

In Chairman Yon’s eyes, Asirante was fighting on an equal footing with Smith’s party. His solo fight with them was really impressive, but he was fighting five people!

So, Chairman Yon thought that Asirante, or Juyoung Hong, was destined to lose, given that he was equally as strong as them.

It was the basic common sense: he would be exhausted faster than them in a lop-sided five-to-one fight.

“After all, is this the fight that will define Asirante as a dragon, or a semi-dragon, an Imoogi, who failed to overcome the final trial before becoming a dragon? Right?” Chairman Yon defined their fight like that one out of myth.

Of course, he judged that the fight would not end up being a five-to-one battle. Juyoung’s father, Chairman Hong, would not wait without doing anything if his son would be killed by Smith’s party.

Yon concluded that no matter how much he thought about Smith’s party, they were simply too strong, Even if he dispatched tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ordinary men, even those from the military units or Myongjin Guild who had raised their reality actualization rates, to help out Asirante, they would not turn the tide of the fight, because Smith’s party was so overwhelming.

At that moment Bora, Chairman Yon’s daughter, said, “I think Juyoung will win. There is a reason why he has decided to reveal himself at this time, which he has been hiding before now.”

As soon as she finished talking, the screen showed Asirante, or Juyoung Hong, taking out a sword from his pocket and using Blink.

Of course, this wasn’t that strange, because the sword was his main weapon within Revival Legend, and he had launched lots of attacks using the sword since then.

They had no choice but to stay silent when they saw his brilliant performance.

Asirante or Juyoung was now counterattacking Smith’s party using the hidden skill that he had never shown before now!

——–

In front of the Myongjin Shelter…

Blink with level 4 and level 6 was the goal.

However, I did not upgrade Blink to level 6, as my skill points were insufficient, and I didn’t have to increase the distance of my movement range due to the zero cooldown.

Even if level 4 Blink had a zero cooldown, it was still a level 4 skill, so I could use it despite my reality actualization rate of 33%.

In fact, it was marked as only ‘level 4 Blink’ in the skill window.

Shuuung. Shuuung. Shuuung. Shuuung.

I showed the skill as best as I could. Of course, I didn’t show the power of Blink with zero cooldown by itself.

Shuuung! Puck!

Shuuuuuung! Puck!

Shuuuuuuung! Puck!

Did I attack twice at a time? No, I didn’t, as I could attack when I changed places. Besides, I didn’t have enough time to attack again while using Blink

This time the members of Smith’s party were alarmed by my attacks.

“What the heck is this?”

“???”

“???”

Smith’s party had probably not experienced this kind of attack before.

Obviously they were very flustered, but they didn’t forget to attack me.

“Spirit of Biting Wind Attack!”

“Fire Storm!”

“Poison Arrow. Triple Shot!”

“Shaking Land! Bind my enemy!”

But I kept attacking them using Blink, as usual.

Shuuuuuung! Shunnnnnng! Shuuuuuuug!

They were slow. It didn’t matter if they moved fast, because I was faster than them.

“Damn it! What the heck is this?”

“Block his attack!”

“Shit! Who the hell is that bastard?”

The five people, including Smith, could not do anything about my Blink attack.

Of course, their helpless reaction was natural, considering that it was impossible for them to properly respond to my attack when seeing it for the first time. In fact, even opponents who had experienced it numerous times in the past had never figured out how to respond well to it.

However, Smith’s party desperately resisted amid the chaos.

“Get united!”

“Thick Land Barrier!”

“Earth Spirit, be my shield blocking him!”

“Fire Shield!”

The five of them gathered together to reduce my arc of attack as much as possible. But that was better for me, because that was what I wanted.

I used one skill straight against them right away. “Ice Prison!”

Pasasasasak!

With my reality actualization rate of 33%, Ice Prison was inevitably smaller than it was in Revival Legend, so I had to use it against only one person before. But I could contain all five inside it now. It was created by penetrating into the Thick Land Barrier that they made, so it could breach the barrier unexpectedly.

Seeing that, I used more skills.

“Thin Ice! Ice Rain!”

Puck! Puck! Puck!

“Damn it! Break this ice prison quickly!”

“Flame Explosion!”

“Penetrating Powershot!”

Obviously, Smith’s party was very strong.

However, the reason I could fight them alone was because I was stronger than them as an individual. In fact, with my level 5 Ice Shield, I could block several of their attacks, including the Fire Storm which sometimes caused cracks in the Ice Prison.

However, there was still time before it broke, so I fired Multiple Ice Arrows, Ice Balls, and Ice Bolts at them.

“Ice Blast!”

Bang!

Finally I destroyed the Ice Prison myself!

“Kheeeeeeek!”

“Damn it!”

“Everybody, get out quickly!”

They were swept by the Ice Blast, something they had never expected.

At a glance, I could see that they had suffered considerable damage.

So I charged at them right away, intending to deal a bigger blow to them while they were in big trouble.

Shuuung! Puck! action

Shuuung! Puck!

Shuuuug! Puck!

Just like before, they could hardly counterattack. The fight continued like that.

Five minutes later the members of Smith’s party began to complain.

“Damn it! This is not the fight we expected!”

“How can he fight like that?”

“This is unfair! Asirante, how can you have this kind of skill? You’ve got lots of stuff already! How can you have such a skill?”

Smith complained this fight was really unfair, but I thought they were unfair, too.

Why? They should have come a little later… after I achieved level 1200!

Aside from Blizzard and Ice Tornado, I could have displayed ice-type magic freely and more powerfully if they had attacked me later. That was the real power of Juyoung Hong!

It was part of my abilities to own a sword like this and use Blink with zero cooldown to defeat my enemies. However, my trademark was clearly ice-type attacks.

Ice-type attacks weren’t just my trademark. In fact, during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Closed Betas, I chose the ice-based wizard, so much so that I earned the Trait of ‘Ice Man’ as a result. In that respect, ice itself was me. That’s why I had dealt with Smith and his party using ice-type attacks.

Despite all that, I had found my ice-type skills blocked by Smith’s party at first.

Since it was my first battle with them as Juyoung Hong, not Asirante, I felt this fight was even more unfair. I really regretted that I could not attack using more powerful ice-type attacks against them.

I felt upset about that, more than when they had picked a fight with me.

So, I asked Smith quietly, “You think this is unfair?”

While Juyoung Hong was asking Smith if he felt the fight was unfair, major guilds around the world were watching their fight very closely.

They had no choice but to be astonished when they discovered that Asirante was Juyoung Hong. He had been initially dropped from the list of candidates purporting to be Asirante, even when the name ‘Juyoung Hong’ was the most frequently mentioned. They were stunned because they had been completely duped by him!
