Active and passive.

Techniques are largely classified into these two categories.

Counter Weapon Shield is active and requires a technical name to be triggered, it consumes heavy magical power and also has a cooldown time.

Passive, on the other hand, has no such thing.

For example, 'Sword Mastery’, which Yoon-suk has nominated. An expression that increases attack speed at all times if you use a sword.

"You have learned a new skill.

After much deliberation, Yoon-suk's chosen technique is "Backstep."

Techniques that were, in a sense, active.

Contrary to one typical activity, there is neither magic consumption nor waiting time for reuse.

“Backstep.”

When he shouted the command, Yoon-suk's body retreated 1M.

And as soon as I got rich and my foot landed,

"Countermeasures available.

A message reminds me of counterjudgments.

“This feels strange. ”

Backsteps are techniques specialized in evasion and counter-attack.

So I thought we should spend AP on technology that is only going backwards…….

Doubles the power of Counter.

It was worth it just for this effect.

If you add countermeasures to the Weapons Enhancement and Sunset, you will truly be part of the spleen.

In addition, Yoon-suk decided to look long.

‘It's only 1M now, but you'll get more distance if you climb the rank. ’

Moreover, assuming many situations, I was able to use the backstep to find that it was a more useful skill than I thought.

‘I especially like it written in any position. ’

Are we supposed to say we're out of physical constraints?

Even in a posture that cannot be retreated, just shout "Backstep" and you can immediately open a distance of 1M.

The same is true when the acceleration is accelerating.

This is a tremendous advantage in one-on-one combat.

‘Maybe it's better than Il-sum or something...? ’

Yoon-suk, who had been experimenting with back-steps in the waiting room for a long time, was interested in other techniques.

Weapon Reinforcement and Il Island.

Both were magic skills.

“One Island!”

The translucent membrane cuts the air as you swing the sword while chanting the skill name.

Yoon-suk felt something crouching in his belly, leaving a pile.

It was magic.

“Weapon Enhancement. ”

Yoon-suk muttered, and a red energy appeared on the sword.

I can still feel the magic draining from my body this time.

‘Strange. I didn't feel it when I tried it in the waiting room...' ’

But I decided not to think it through.

Because it's a good thing.

Knowing how much magic is consumed and how much is left will help you lead the fight more effectively.

Yun Seok felt the need to learn more about his magical abilities, as he had two skills that required magical strength.

‘It only takes 10 minutes for everyone to recover. ’

Percentage of Magic Power recovers itself by 10% per minute. It looks like you need to be very careful when using magic during a duel.

Well, raising your magical abilities or learning magical regeneration skills will solve some problems....

After all, money matters here or on Earth.

* Rank F + - Leather boots with a popular form of mercenary appeal. The sole is solid and the front plate is lined with steel.

Sale Price: 500AP

I bought shoes with the remaining AP.

The F + rank is much cheaper than weapons with 1,500AP or different parts.

I wanted to buy breastplate, but all I could afford was the leather armor of an F-rank.

Then the remaining AP is 0.

Now that you have completed all the tasks you need to do for good, it is time to focus on your next task.

Hooray! Hooray!

Yoon-suk moved as before and continued to practice assuming various situations.

You swing your sword, you stick out your shield, sometimes you use a backstep, and then even roll the floor.

There was only Yoon-suk in the waiting room, but his appearance was fierce as a battle with something invisible.

In fact, Yoon-suk was fighting with someone else.

It was a romantic paradise.

‘Like this... No, his sword was softer. ’

Shadow training.

Yoon-suk, who had been fighting hypothetical enemies for a long time, suddenly stopped. My body didn't move as easily as I imagined.

Yoon-suk felt thirsty.

‘I think I'll know better if I fight him one more time...' ’

Then I remembered the existence of the chat room.

The sky reef is skilled and seems to have just arrived at the Tower of Perforation.

So he would have resurrected with the remaining coins.

If I could just ask him, he might be able to figure out what his current sword problem is.

But…….

‘I'm on the second floor, so I won't be able to talk to myself……. ’

Yoon-seok won over the Great Lakes and was promoted to the second floor.

If the Great Lakes win the next battle and enter the second floor, then they can chat through the chat room.

Of course, it was unknown whether or not Heaven would simply answer Yoon-suk's question.

‘I have to do it alone. ’

Yoon-suk continued his training.

It's like the sword and only one left here.

He was ecstatic, but he looked like a madman from afar...

My head was colder than ever.

‘You can't just be strong. And not just too soft. The important thing is that the harmony between the two... ’

It's not a repetition of stabbing and slashing.

I watch myself every once in a while and find a better way

There was no visible progress, but Yoon-suk's talents did not betray his efforts.

As time went on, even though it was slower than before, the black pace of Yoon-seok improved in the desired direction.

‘That's funny.'

At first, I raised my sword to increase my chances of survival.

But not necessarily now.

No matter how much I recovered, Yoon-suk had a lot of fun.

To try, to compete, to win.

It was not only in the arena but also in the world, but it had nothing to do with Yoon-seok, who was full of necklaces for Kang Hyung-woo.

But I'm afraid of late stealing.

Yoon-suk fell in love with the joy of personal development for the first time in his life.

It was only a minute before I woke up how deep I had fallen.

Prepare yourself, the duel is about to begin.

The body of Yoon-suk who spent the rest of his time tending to his mannerisms in a nervous manner moved.

The venue is still a courteous amphitheater.

What kind of opponent did he have this time?

Start a countdown.

During the three-second period given until the start of the duel, Yoon-suk exerts his full attention and examines the enemy.

The opponent is a human.

He holds a shield and a mace in his hand.

Though the weapon is different from the one chosen by the sword, the basic initial strategy seemed to be similar.

Then covering up the winner and loser will be their fighting skills.

Yoon-suk had a plan in mind for a long time.

But…….

START!

The moment when the restraint of the body is released, a message will appear informing you of the start of the duel.

The opponent drops his weapon.

“Surrender!”

“ ……? ”

“I'm going home. So kill me painlessly. ”

He was a suicidal victim who fell for Devil 666's twist.

* * *

Victory.

Seeing the fireworks embroidered in the sky, the stone became dazed.

He was a battle opponent who called for surrender and asked me to kill him quickly, but Yoon-suk didn't let his guard down.

I doubted that this was another kind of trick and approached with vigilance.

But the opponent was serious.

He closed his eyes until the moment the blade touched his neck, and even when his throat was cut, he smiled.

He seemed confident in his faith.

"4,000AP will be paid as compensation.

Unique Skill Predation is activated.

Randomly acquire one of the opponent's skills.

Obtain a unique skill.

Go to the waiting room on the second floor.

Prepare for the next battle.

Yoon-suk, who had thought about it for a long time, returned to his original waiting room in just three minutes.

Yoon-suk hurriedly opened the chat room.

- Volcano 39: I was desperate to fight without internal combat, but I gave up.

- Duel coins: one more time! Go home, Gazua!

- Chocobasar: 24 hours feels like the first time here.

It's just text, but I can still feel the frenzy in the chat room. There were very few, but there were some who didn't get caught up in the frenzy.

- Eden Carlyle: What a bunch of assholes. Don't you see this is all his plan?

- James Dean: Why are you angry? Aren't we the ones who got the benefit of him anyway?

No one was actively trying to calm this down.

It's almost impossible to calm things down if you try to.

- So you don't see the Devil?

- Yeah. Looks like you lost all your coins and went home first.

- Porang Elise: Didn't you say you only have one Coin? But how...

- No offense, but they killed themselves first. Thanks to you, I'm here for another day.

The Devil 666, who first spawned the rumor, did not appear in the chat room.

It was one of three.

Either you're silent on purpose, or you've unfortunately met a challenger like Yoon-seok and died, or you've already gone upstairs.

Yoon-suk left the chat room feeling unbearable disgust.

This made me feel like I had peeked at human nature.

“Everyone is crazy.... ”

You don't understand what kind of conclusion they made.

But even so…….

I couldn't believe it even though I saw it with my own eyes.

This is the second floor.

It means that every challenger has fought at least two fights and won. Assuming you've died a few times in the process and spent coins, the number of duels will increase.

I can't believe those people came all this way because of one word...

“Am I crazy? Do you really think you can go back if you lose all your coins? ”

Maybe they're right and they're wrong.

By this time, such doubts will have arisen.

Yoon-suk Han shakes his head.

They were wrong.

‘If you keep winning, there's a way back. ’

C rank tickets sold for 200,000 AP.

Purchase this and you can definitely go back to Earth.

If you fail, like it or not, you will see whether the Devil's words are true or not.

Nevertheless, it is foolish to put your life on the line.

‘Let's not shake it. I have to do the same thing. ’

Preparing for the next duel, training yourself.

Even as he engraved his determination on his chest, Yoon-suk tightly clenched both fists.

And I saw the reward from this duel.
