Chapter 200

The Illusion website was about to crash.

Kaal: Wow, this is seriously real.

Rainbow: He completely toyed with him. I almost feel bad for Dark.

-Kaal: Agreed.

Absal: Hehe, this tournament in the Forma Continent is already this intense. Can you imagine what it’ll be like when tournaments are held after the entire continent is open? I’m getting goosebumps already.

-OneRound: True. But when will the other continents open?

-Absal: Well, shouldn’t it be soon?

-OneRound: I’m curious. About the guys from other continents.

-Absal: No matter what, they can’t beat Muhyuk.

-OneRound: No, if you watch the YouTube videos, the powerhouses from other continents are real monsters. I have no idea how to win against them. No matter how great Muhyuk is, it’ll be tough.

-Absal: Don’t worry. He’ll get a crazy powerful item this time.

-OneRound: Ah, there was a reward for first place.

Round: Wow, the tournament was really fun. I’m going to rewatch it slowly from the preliminaries.

-Otto: Me too. Seriously fun.

-Round: Are you a girl?

-Otto: Why?

-Round: If you’re a girl, want to watch it together?

-Otto: Get lost.

PatPatBread: Wow, I wonder what item he’ll choose? I’m so curious.

-Aluv: Won’t he ask for a weapon?

-PatPatBread: I don’t know. They said he could have any item the user knows. Muhyuk probably knows about some amazing items.

-Egg: Hmm. There could be an item that strengthens summons.

-Orange: Oh, summons are good.

-Egg: Raising MP or recovery rate would be good too.

-Orange: That’s a bit disappointing.

-Egg: It’s the best for a Gangster Necromancer.

-Orange: Really?

-Egg: Yeah. I’m a Gangster Necromancer, and I’m going crazy because my MP is always low.

-Blanket: Egg, I agree. Gangster Necromancer’s MP is really low.

Remote: I wish there was a groundbreaking item.

-Egg: An OP item?

-Blanket: But too OP is too much.

-Remote: The reward itself is OP. I hope he picks something ridiculously good and uploads the stats or a screenshot. So our eyes can feast.

Skin: I’m looking forward to it!

Ttoing: Hurry up and have the award ceremony!

The reaction to Muhyuk was explosive.

After finishing the match and becoming the winner, Muhyuk was still on the training grounds. He was enjoying the victory while listening to the cheers.

He won.

He had a plan, but he didn’t expect it to work out so perfectly.

He definitely had luck on his side.

But that’s the fun of a tournament.

At the same time, he realized one thing.

He needed to become stronger.

The skills of the hidden powerhouses and top Rankers were amazing.

If just two of them teamed up, Muhyuk would definitely not be able to win. Moreover, if his bracket luck had been worse, he might not have won this tournament either.

Since he didn’t know what might happen in the future in Illusion, he was going to work harder to become more powerful.

The reward he would get this time would lay the foundation for that. The problem was that he hadn’t decided on the reward yet. There were too many good items.

“Then please wait in the waiting room.”

“Ah, okay.”

Muhyuk finally came down from the training grounds and headed to the waiting room.

Muhyuk’s figure disappeared from the screen.

[Well, the battle isn’t over yet, right?]

[Yes. The 3rd and 4th place match is left.]

[The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th place prizes are the same, so there’s no need to have a match.]

[That’s right.]

[Before we start the 3rd and 4th place match, shall we watch the last scene between Muhyuk and Dark again?]

[Good.]

With the host’s voice, the screen switched.

The scene of Dark falling.

The scene of the Skeletons rushing in.

[I thought it would end right there.]

[Me too. But Dark is not easy to deal with. He used healing magic and then immediately used area magic again, didn’t he?]

[Yes, thanks to that, many of the Skeletons were destroyed.]

[But how can you stop the Skeletons that keep rushing in as if it doesn’t matter? Dark got up and dealt with them one by one, but… there are many, too many. The Skeletons are really swarming.]

[Ah, the area attack exploded again here.]

[That’s right.]

[More than half of the Skeletons were destroyed.]

[But look. At Muhyuk in the back. He’s not doing anything.]

[He’s literally toying with Dark.]

[Then Muhyuk fired a few arrows and reached out his hand, and Dark faded away and appeared outside the training grounds.]

[Can you see the purple light coming out of his hand?]

[Yes.]

[That’s presumed to be a skill. An unavoidable skill.]

[That’s the skill that made Dark keep using healing magic.]

[That’s right. We enjoyed the last scene again. Then we’ll watch the 3rd and 4th place match that will be held shortly.]

The 3rd and 4th place match wasn’t very long.

The victory or defeat was decided in less than 5 minutes. Despite being penalized, Miyamoto beat Mulan.

In the end, 3rd place was Miyamoto.

4th place was decided as Mulan.

[Now there will be an award ceremony soon.]

[That’s right.]

[It seems like we’ll have to wait a bit because we need to prepare. In the meantime, let’s watch the highlights of the matches so far.]

The waiting time wasn’t long.

About 15 minutes.

During that time, Muhyuk had to decide which item to choose.

What would be good?

He had already decided on a few items, but he hadn’t decided on one for sure.

At first, he thought he should do this, but after a while, his mind would change.

The Ring of the Spirit King was good too.

The Ring of the Spirit King increases the wearer’s MP and recovery rate and slightly increases strength, agility, and stamina. It’s an excellent item with pretty good skills attached.

Of course, if that was all, he wouldn’t have put it on the list. The most important option on the Ring of the Spirit King was ‘Increase the physical abilities of all summons by 20 percent.’

It was a ring called the item of God for summon-type users, so there was no need to say more.

Drake’s Undecaying Corpse was good too.

If he raised his level a little more, he would be able to control the corpse with the Dragon’s Heart he currently had and a few items.

Of course, there was a clear limit to the number of corpses he could control, so he couldn’t use it on just anything.

So he thought of Drake’s Undecaying Corpse. If he revived Drake and used him as a summon, he would definitely be much better than the Armor Knight he had evolved into a skull.

Amanda’s Bracelet was also good.

A 10 percent increase in all physical abilities of the wearer and various additional options. In addition, it increases all stats of summons by 35.

The attached skills were also good.

There were also several other items.

He couldn’t help but worry.

Muhyuk, who had been sitting like that for a while, nodded as if he had made a decision.

There were really many good items.

But still, if he looked to the future, that was the best.

Just then, the host’s voice was heard.

“The award ceremony will begin.”

“Ah, yes.”

When he left the waiting room, he saw seven users.

They were the ones receiving the rewards.

Their lineup was also very impressive.

All the top players were gathered. He glanced at them, and a middle-aged man walked out from the front.

He went up to the training grounds and looked down at the eight users who would be awarded. It was Duke Amur, who had received applause for his short speech at the opening ceremony.

“Thank you for waiting.”

Before the award ceremony, there was a brief compliment.

“It was a really good match, and I watched it with great interest. The days I spent agonizing over holding this tournament, the frustration I felt at that time was relieved all at once.”

This time, it wasn’t a very long speech either.

Just enough to not be boring.

“Then I will now begin the award ceremony.”

Amur, who had finished giving some compliments, finally called the users.

Of course, it was from 8th place.

They received their rewards one by one.

[Ah, the award ceremony is continuing.]

[Yes, now Mulan, the 4th place winner, is going up. A high-performance sword and a large amount of gold coins, right?]

[That’s right. The 3rd place winner received the same reward with an additional armor, and the 2nd place winner, Dark, received the same reward as the 3rd place winner with an additional ring.]

A familiar name echoed from Duke Amur’s mouth.

“Stranger Muhyuk.”

“Yes.”

“Please come up to the training grounds.”

His figure heading to the training grounds can be seen.

[Ah, he’s finally going up.]

[Muhyuk, who achieved first place, is proud. The interesting fact is that interest is not fading even though the tournament is over.]

[Everyone seems to be curious about what reward Muhyuk, who won the championship, will ask for.]

[That’s right.]

[I’m also looking forward to it.]

[One drawback is that only items that the user knows are possible.]

[Yes, it is estimated that the balance will not be greatly shaken.]

Duke Amur said.

Since it was a conversation between the two of them, Duke Amur naturally spoke informally.

“Congratulations on your victory.”

“Thank you.”

“Now, tell me what reward you want.”

“I want Balac’s 13th Ring.”

Duke Amur tilted his head.

“Balac’s 13th Ring?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, I will make sure to deliver it to you by tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

That scene was naturally broadcast.

[He said Balac’s 13th Ring, right?]

[That’s right. I’m so curious about what kind of item it is.]

[Duke Amur is also tilting his head.]

[So I can’t help but be more curious.]

That was the common feeling of everyone who was watching.

The bulletin board was also hot.

Inshure: Anyone know Balac’s 13th Ring?

-Success: Would anyone know?

-Inshure: Maybe there is. There are so many users who enjoy it.

WhatSound: If you wait, it will come out.

-Inshure: How?

-WhatSound: Muhyuk will reveal it. People are so curious.

-Inshure: Will he?

Dazed: Wow, I’m really curious about the options!

Star: It must be really amazing, right?

Even after the tournament ended and the broadcast ended, their interest did not stop.

Until dawn and morning came, they talked about the tournament, about Muhyuk, and about the items.

Around that time, one post that was uploaded received attention.

[Title: I saw Muhyuk!]

[Content: It wasn’t the nobleman who gave the award, but anyway, I saw him meeting with some nobleman! He was handing over a box, so I guess that’s the item. What are the options, please let me know!]

Many comments were also posted.

Round: Oh, I saw it too.

-Lie: Where did you see it?

-Round: Weebla.

Cache: I think I saw it too.

-Lie: Where did you see it?

-Cache: In front of the Weebla Empire Mercenary Guild.

RollRoll: I’m so curious about the options!

The post quickly became a hot issue.
