< EP. 24: Demon who picks up coins and swallows them (5) >

“One first!! ”

I lightly fed him a set of combos, then I finished typing the command of the Seungryong Pass while I shot up the Sakura with a river kick. Then I consumed my SP gauge and started firing my pistol at the character who was staying in the air.

As Sakura's body reddens with bullets raining from the air, I grab her in the air and plunge her down into the building, stabbing her with bullets. And shortly before landing, Sakura disappeared, flying cherry blossom leaves in its name with the fall damage.

“Wow!! Cool.”

“Ahhh!! You have dropped a player who chose Sakura here!! Please prepare replacement inserts immediately for standby players!”

‘Dammit, there's no time to breathe. ’

But it was the same with the players who were chasing me. The next one in Sakura, Speed, is Wheelin, so you start racing around the map like crazy.

"But where the hell is the potential king?" ’

She was the only potential king on my side, so when I glanced at Yuki's screen, she was confronting the blonde witch Roxy.

Roxy had very good potential and imagination with less SP gauge for teleport than other characters. But on the contrary, Yuki had the worst imagination for the potential king.

I need your help.

Along with a group of assassins chasing Hulin, I made a swift dash across the building toward the potential king. Fortunately, Yuki's character, an amazing defender, was focused on defending Roxy's continuous attack.

“Joon-Hyuk, this character is too slow..”

“You can't see it as a fast character. ”

“When the enemy finishes attacking, press the guard button at the right time. ”

Yuki began to focus on the game, feeling that the guard's damage against Roxy's attack had diminished, even if it wasn't an invincible, golden figure like Wheelin showed me earlier.

“Just bear with me until I get there. ”

“Oh, Kang Jun-hyuk, the developer, encourages Ishikawa. I just really want someone to do something about this couple!! ”

At that moment, a new player stood in front of me, picking out potential characters like Yuki. Just before encountering him, he lightly bounced off the lever diagonally and pressed the jump button, raising a blue figure behind him and jumping over the potencing of the ball in one fell swoop.

The moment the confused potential king turned the lever towards me, I threw the lever in the reverse direction and threw the kick. Phew!!

“Huh? I was sure I guarded it. ”

Reverse Guard. A method of defeating beginners in a 2D fighter game that triggers the timing of the air kick a little slower, causing the attack to take place only when the lever is reversed.

But I quickly moved Huleen to Yuki without taking any further hits into account.

Immediately, Yuki's manipulative potential king entered the screen.

Sliding out between the legs of the potential king, aiming for Roxy on the other side.

Of course, Roxy's Grand Duke magic, which was supposed to be dug into the jump, slipped through the cracks, and the moment I showed up, I shouted to Yuki.

“Now!! ”

Half of Roxy's stamina flew away in an instant after a huge, defensive fist was inserted into his character.

‘Fine. Leave the extra rides to me!' ’

“Ahhh!! Potenting Iron Fist Hit!! Roxy flying as a groggy...!! Wheelin 'catches up!! ”

“Wow!! Combo attack!! ”

Blow the ice bullet on the other side of Roxy's flying direction to make him bounce back to where I am. I turned and kicked Yuki's potential once more.

“One more time!! ”

Kuaaang!!!

Once again, the Iron Fist of the Potenting blazes and Roxy quickly becomes a light scattered.

“Oops!!! What power... living in two rooms...”

“That tag technique was awesome!! ”

“I thought I saw some animation.”

At that moment, a massive flame flies from behind you with a red watering red flag near half of the screen. Realizing that I was too late to avoid it, I quickly approached the potential king and shouted to Yuki.

“Guard me!! ”

Kuaaaaang!!! Potencing, which was three times the size of Wheelin, blocked the incoming flames with its whole body. Fortunately, the fire was trapped in his body and he couldn't do anything to hurt Wheelin.

“Come on!! ”

At the same time as I said, the battle started with five characters running towards us.

I left him as a shield as close to the potential king as possible and fired a pistol at nearby enemies.

Sometimes, Yuki's manipulation misses my fists, but it's better than running into enemy lines and getting mugged.

I fire my pistol, moving swiftly to the left and to the right, making it difficult for the surrounding players to resist.

"Oh, I hit the button so hard, my fingers hurt."

At that moment, I came out again and remembered a red spot on the floor where the potential king was standing. The flaming pillar of the Mage of Crimson Flame is once again fired. I quickly stepped on the head of a heavily fortified potential king and took off with a superjump.

“Perseverance!! ”

I flew an ice bullet into the new Potencing, tied it up, and jumped back up again.

“Wow, it just flew away. ”

“I want to try it too. It's gonna be so much fun.”

“Ryurin of Kang Jun-hyuk is running around the map like crazy. I see no one to stop him!! His stamina gauge is still 120 percent. Ah! I'm telling you, Shadow Freshener is drying up on Wheelin's continuum. You don't have much stamina left!? Ah, I'm sorry to lose Shadow Freshener here!! Kang Jun-hyuk, the Devil's Director, who had just eliminated 3 players!! It's not easy to give your life! Is it the figure of Psychic Force I'm afraid of? ”

"What does he see me as!? ’

I hurled insults at Jun Fei and moved Hulin back to Yuki. At that moment... Kuaang!!

“Ahhh!! This is where the trap Roy set is triggered!! ”

‘Damn, this one's bigger. 53% took too much damage.’

Moreover, as players began to become accustomed to the game and began to attack in tandem over time, my stamina quickly revealed the ground.

‘Not yet? I think he'll show up in a few more minutes. ’

I bite down on it and focus on defending it as best I can. At that time, a player who was trying to get close to me to strike a crystal hit was caught in the fist of the potential king and killed him in one fell swoop.

“Wow!! I got one out, too!”

“Once you've secured your guard, you should be able to recover any time soon. ”

Recovery items? ”

Against a public enemy named me and Yuki, players started firing attacks from many directions. But it wasn't a formal team match, so we often got hit with bullets fired at each other.

“There's the Wizard of the Crimson Flame, Justin. Take a good shot at the pillar. You're on our side. ”

“Were we a team? I thought the product only goes back to people who drop the developer character. ”

“But if we fight like this, we're all going to die!! ”

“All I have to do is hit Wheelin. So stay out of it. ”

It's starting to break apart over there, too.

But this is the voice of the man who's been squawking since the beginning of the event. Is he using Justin?

I lean against Yuki's potential king and simultaneously press the strong punch and kick to keep the SP gauge tight. And then after a while. Wheelin's SP gauge was up 100%.

“Yuki, give me a punch with your bare hands."

“Yes?”

“Hurry!! ”

Phew! I accidentally took a punch from Yuki's potential king and dropped my Stamina Gauge below 30%. Then the character of Wheelin starts to run red.

“Ahhh!! Hulin's character, the developer, is now at full strength!! ”

Enemies who were gathering around Jun Fei's relay gathered around me like wildfire.

Yuki's potential king was strengthening his guard by my side, but so far, his strength was almost depleted.

I waited for all the players to gather in one place. My stamina was a figure I would immediately save if I could hit a single shot of 23% skill.

At that time, half the screen was red like before. In addition, to the floor warning of the pillar of fire... the owner of the red screen was the work of the wizard Justin of the Crimson Flame.

“I knew this would happen!! ”

I performed a super jump kicking Yuki's potential as soon as all the characters gathered together.

Kuaaang!!!

Along with Justin's enormous firepower, each of the strongest fighters inflicted imminent damage and disappeared.

And the place I was manipulating towards was the rooftop of a building where the Magic Wizard of the Crimson Flame had only shot magic so far.

“Found it!! ”

During that time, he had been a little stressed by long distance magic, so he smiled and lightly fed him a set of combos, and Justin tried to keep his distance while taking damage.

“You're not going anywhere! ”

Kieing! At that moment, Wheelin's eyes glow red and rush towards Justin.

It was a paraphernalysis of Hyerin using an SP gauge of 80% below 30% health.

“Wow!! Hurry!! What's that? ”

“Ahhh!!! Here comes Wheelin's special seconds!! ”

A cheerful voice erupted from the mouths of those who attended the venue after a brief passing of her cuts with the spectacular bast morphing.

“What!? Hulin's breasts just... Boobs!! ”

“I saw it too!! It's moving!!"

I can't believe there's so much chaos just because there's a little girl's chest on the screen.

What? You put your hands on my chest and I didn't...?

Of course, I used to applaud the bast morphing of 2D characters from the Super Robotic War, but, hmm...

Within the screen, Hulin was circling Justin from side to side, spreading his torch with all his firearms. The final kick strikes the target in the air with a sniper's rifle, and she throws the gun, which is roughly the same length as her height, to the ground coolly.

In the end, Justin, who was not prepared for Whyrin's first kill, did not turn the tide of the world upside down and exploded into flames.

“Ah! There's a huge drop out here!! Teamwork has failed. Now I will join you in the battle of Psychic Force as well. ”

‘Oh, right. He was a participant too, right? ’

Jun Fei was just sitting next to Yuki, picking out a character.

Seeing you grinning, you're trying to kill me with your fishermen and get your hands on the figures. Damn it, I'm really out of stamina.

I gathered as much SP gauge as I could until Jun Fei showed up.

The remaining players in the current game are Yuki's potential kings. And another potential chosen by a replaceable player. And it was just Wheelin 'and Roy the Bomb I was playing.

I started collecting SP gauges, keeping an eye on Roy hiding somewhere.

“With the expectations of our users in one fell swoop, we have the pride of monthly FAMI communications!! I will!! I will!! I will end Kang Jun-hyuk, the developer. ”

"Just tell me you want it!! ’

Jun Fei was smiling as she checked my HP remaining.

The character he chose resembles Ryu Hwa-young...

It was probably a natural choice for the guy who liked Ryu Hwa-young since the Psychic Battle.

“Jun Pyo. This ~ kiss ~ ~ (A-ha ~)”

It was then that Jun Fei's character appeared on the rooftop of a building in the middle of the screen.

A red warning message appeared, 'WARNING’.

“Huh? What?!? ”

Jun Fei was staring at the screen with a puzzled look at an unexpected event. A giant eye emerges between the building and the building.

And that was the end of Jun Fei's short play.
