Chapter 199

Muhyuk pressured Dark while constantly checking his MP.

Not bad, actually?

He thought his MP would have dropped to 30%, but it was still around 50%. This must be due to his ridiculously high recovery rate.

What about Dark?

He watched Dark’s expression as he attacked.

Dark seemed reluctant to use skills, which was enough to convince Muhyuk that his MP was lower than expected.

Besides, Muhyuk had seen him take out and drink an MP potion during their fight. Dark, who had bad luck with the bracket in the third round of the finals, had already used a potion before fighting Muhyuk.

So now, he only had one potion, scroll, or auxiliary item left.

I still have two left.

Muhyuk harassed him with composure.

Wind Step.

Thanks to that overpowered skill, he was able to harass Dark while minimizing damage. However, he couldn’t let his guard down because even a slight lapse in concentration could result in Dark’s skills significantly reducing his HP.

Should I go again?

Swish.

He closed the distance and thrust his sword. Dark dodged slightly to the side and countered with the sword in his hand.

Muhyuk quickly retreated, transformed his sword into a bow, and fired an arrow. Dark blocked it with his shield, but Muhyuk didn’t care. In Illusion’s system, HP decreased even when defending.

Muhyuk fired arrows relentlessly. Eventually, Dark began to dodge the arrows by throwing himself to the side or knocking them away with his sword.

Blessing of the Dead.

At that moment, Muhyuk used magic.

“…….”

Dark’s brow furrowed.

It was because there was no way to block Muhyuk’s magic. Moreover, even though he couldn’t block it, the damage was higher than expected, forcing him to use healing magic after taking two or three hits.

That annoyance manifested in his actions. Dark moved aggressively, closing the distance with Muhyuk.

As he chased, he swung his sword, and a red aura split the air like a crescent moon, reaching out towards Muhyuk.

Good.

It was advantageous to make him use a skill.

Muhyuk, who was quickly retreating, flinched for a moment.

Damn it.

He realized that the back was the end of the training ground. He stopped moving and raised his shield to defend against the attack.

Kwah-ahng!

The impact was huge.

His HP decreased quite a bit too.

It’s still okay.

His current HP was about 60 percent.

Because he didn’t have healing magic, the accumulated damage had reduced it to half. Conversely, Dark’s HP would be at 100 percent.

But his MP must be depleted.

Still, just in case, he provoked him a little more.

Swish.

He approached Dark’s immediate vicinity using Wind Step.

Cross Slash.

After successfully attacking, he immediately used Stealth.

Stealth.

Then, Dark panicked and scanned his surroundings. Just as Muhyuk was about to approach slowly and stab with his sword, Dark suddenly turned his head sharply.

He raised the sword in his hand upwards, then acted as if he would strike downwards.

But at the last moment, Dark stopped moving.

And he simply allowed Muhyuk’s attack to hit him.

“Ugh!”

Dark hurriedly defended against Muhyuk’s subsequent attacks with his shield.

Got him.

The corners of Muhyuk’s lips curled up after successfully attacking.

The reason he didn’t use a skill at the last moment. It must have been to save his remaining MP.

Now it was time to really start.

“Summon.”

The 90 Skeletons finally revealed themselves.

He endured and endured.

To avoid using MP as much as possible.

If the Skeletons appeared when his MP was depleted, it would be truly troublesome.

However, Muhyuk, his opponent in the finals, was a Necromancer, but he couldn’t ignore his own abilities.

Of course, the stats of the summoned creatures were affected by the main body, so he must have raised his Strength, Agility, and Stamina to some extent, but even considering that, it was still unbelievably high.

Even if it’s a skill, it’s absurd.

Eventually, he occasionally used healing magic to replenish his gradually decreasing HP.

He also used attack skills to inflict damage on Muhyuk and summon the Skeletons a little faster.

But even though he had consumed a significant portion of his MP, Muhyuk did not summon any creatures.

Why?

Could it be that he still had MP to spare?

He suddenly felt uneasy.

At that moment, Muhyuk suddenly disappeared.

Damn it.

He scanned his surroundings and felt a presence nearby.

There.

His body moved on its own.

If he was nearby, he could inflict damage with a range skill.

No, wait a minute…!

But at the last moment, Dark had no choice but to stop.

He only had about 10 percent of his MP left.

If he consumed any more MP, something really bad might happen.

It was better to sacrifice HP.

So he let it happen.

“Summon.”

Only then did Muhyuk summon the Skeletons.

Damn it.

He didn’t like this situation.

I will win, definitely.

He took out a potion he had been saving from his inventory.

This is the last one.

He could no longer use auxiliary items.

But it didn’t matter.

Now that he had summoned the Skeletons, Muhyuk’s MP would also decrease rapidly, and it was clear that it wouldn’t be manageable with just one or two potions.

[MP is recovering.]

Seeing his MP rise to 30 percent, Dark charged forward.

I’ll crush them in one go.

Flash.

Dark jumped into the air and raised his sword upwards, golden light enveloping him. At the same time, he hovered in the air as if frozen, looking down below.

Heaven’s Wrath.

The strongest range skill was activated.

Rumble, rumble!

The power of a powerful electric shock was generated in the sky and plunged towards the training ground.

The host’s voice grew louder.

[Ah, he’s finally summoned them!]

[Dark jumps into the air as soon as the Skeletons appear! Does Muhyuk sense the danger? The Skeletons are suddenly gathering in one place! It seems like the damage could be even greater if they do that.]

[That’s right. What is he thinking?]

At that moment, the power of the electric shock fell downwards.

Thud, Kuaaaang!

But something was strange.

[Huh? Do you see that?]

[Ah, a transparent shield is blocking the lightning strike!]

A blood-soaked longsword.

It contained the Damage Absorption skill.

[So that’s why he gathered the Skeletons.]

[But the lightning is still continuing. How long can he hold out?]

The damage that can be absorbed is 5,000.

The lightning continued to fall.

The shield had not yet disappeared.

[Each second is suffocating.]

About 3 seconds had passed.

[Ah, the shield has disappeared.]

In the meantime, Muhyuk had fully prepared. He attached Armor Knights to the Mages and Archers and made them raise their shields. Muhyuk was also located under one of the Armor Knights.

[It’s an amazing sight!]

In that spectacle, Muhyuk moved.

Swish.

He took a step forward and fired an arrow, aiming at Dark floating in the air.

Multishot.

One of the fired arrows hit Dark’s shin.

Got him.

Potion of Confusion was applied. The Skeletons that had been blocking the lightning began to move all at once. Towards Dark, who was falling from the sky.

Sungminwoo had the Dark vs. Muhyuk match playing on the right side of the screen. On the left, of course, he had the Illusion homepage open.

Posts were being uploaded at an incredible rate.

[Title: Wow, that’s amazing. Really.]

[Title: Anyone watching the finals?]

[Title: I know who will win.]

[Title: I want to get stronger too!]

[Title: Dark, amazing skill. He might even lose.]

[Title: A complete victory!]

Pressing F5 brought up a flood of new titles.

He clicked on the one with the highest number of views. The content of the post was simple, but the comments were not.

The way they strongly asserted their opinions and debated was enjoyable enough just to watch.

Amba: He hasn’t even summoned the Skeletons, but he’s already pressuring Dark? Is that really a Necromancer job? No matter how I look at it, it’s overpowered…

-Combat: He’s a Necromancer. It seems like he focused on Strength, Agility, and Stamina stats even before the information that summoned creatures are affected by the main character’s stats was released.

-Amba: That’s amazing. He’s also the first user to get the Gangster Necromancer.

-Cup: I want to raise a Gangster Necromancer too!

-Rise: I agree.

WindFighter: Dark just used a skill. Wow, amazing.

-Aku: Whatever.

-WindFighter: Huh, are you blind? That’s Dark’s best skill. One hit from that and all the Skeletons might fall.

-Aku: Pfft, blocked by the shield.

-WindFighter: The shield broke.

-Aku: Most of the impact was absorbed.

-WindFighter: Lightning is still falling.

-Aku: Pfft, Dark is falling.

WindFighter’s comments stopped.

Aku: Why aren’t you commenting? Do you admit you lost?

Sungminwoo chuckled at the meaningless bickering.

That was the moment.

The host’s excited voice came from the video playing on the right.

[Ah, the Skeletons are indiscriminately attacking the fallen Dark!]

[Dark can’t move!]

He quickly focused his eyes on the video.

[It looks like he’s been hit by something?]

[That’s right. Otherwise, Dark wouldn’t be mindlessly taking attacks without even defending.]

[He seems to have come to his senses. He’s hurriedly covering his body with his shield.]

[But it’s clear that he’s taken a significant amount of damage.]

[He’s using healing magic.]

[It looks like he really doesn’t have much MP left.]

Sungminwoo clenched his fist.

He had a feeling.

He shifted his gaze to the left and pressed the list.

[Title: I know that. It’s definitely that thing he used in the preliminaries.]

[Title: Wow, he’s ending it with an auxiliary item.]

He clicked on the first post and went inside.

[Do you remember the effect he used in the preliminaries? The one that made the opponent dance and act strangely! But if you think about it, you can say that this was all thanks to the Muhyuk user’s plan. The planning ability to reduce Dark’s MP without summoning the Skeletons, and the execution ability to put that into action. In the end, he showed the power to block Dark’s ultimate attack, and now, with added caution, it’s a moment where victory is expected. I’m proud!]

Sungminwoo smiled gently.

Getting this kind of praise, I’m jealous.

Most of the comments were positive.

Laptop: Class acknowledged.

-Nallari: What class? It’s just luck. If he didn’t have good bracket luck and Dark’s sword and shield hadn’t been broken, he’d be a moron if he lost.

-Power: Nallari, luck is also a skill.

-Nallari: What skill?

-Power: That’s pathetic. Just keep being a keyboard warrior. No matter how much you play Illusion, you’ll end up being a nobody.

-Nallari: Reverse.

-Power: Too childish to reply.

-Nallari: Reverse.

Sungminwoo’s brow furrowed.

What’s with that Nallari?

He hesitated to reply and stopped.

[Ah, finally…….]

He listened to the host’s voice and focused his eyes on the video again.

[He won.]

It was Muhyuk’s victory.

“That guy, he finally won.”

Sungminwoo thought about getting something delicious to eat and sent a text message to Muhyuk.
