Chapter 72
After a period of shock and fear.
Seo Woojin started the second match.
‘Class A. Was it called ‘War Mage’?
The level was at least in the late twenties to early thirties.
He didn’t know it well, but it was clear that he was among the top 100 heroes.
‘The equipment looks good as well.’
The robe and staff he was wearing didn’t look out of the ordinary, as he had received a lot of support.
It was undoubtedly a high-quality item that couldn’t be compared to Seo Woojin’s black sword.
However...
‘But I don’t think I’ll lose.’
Even the ordinary Seo Woojin could easily defeat such an opponent.
But now, his physique and magical power had grown to an astonishing extent.
Even if he wanted to lose, it seemed impossible.
“Begin.”
With Ludian’s words, the opponent’s mouth opened.
“Dig!”
With a sound of *kwung*, the ground under his feet suddenly became empty.
‘Oh no!’
As if dug up by a crane, a large hole appeared on the ground.
The hole was not that deep, so there would be no impact, but the problem was on the other side.
With ‘Blink,’ the ‘War Mage’ revealed himself above Seo Woojin’s head.
As if determined not to let go of the advantage he had gained, he began to cast spells.
“Stun, Water Ball, Chain Lightning!”
Pajijijik-!
Bind the body, soak it in water, and then roast it with lightning.
It was the typical magic operation of a battle-specialized mage, a ‘War Mage’.
‘Impressive.’
Frankly, he admired it.
The expedition from the Demon Realm definitely seemed to help the heroes.
‘Of course, that doesn’t mean that I’m going to take it.’
Seo Woojin exerted force on his body.
The stiff, paralyzed body relaxed and the magic was literally ‘crushed’.
“W-What is this!”
The opponent, who was preparing for a follow-up attack, opened his eyes wide.
After the counterattack, he completely disappeared.
Of course, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Either way, Seo Woojin kicked his feet as soon as they touched the ground.
Kwang-!
His body shot up.
The opponent who was still above his head quickly tried to dodge with a ‘Blink’, but it was too late.
Seo Woojin’s rising speed was so fast that it was beyond imagination.
Peok-!
His fist struck his opponent’s abdomen.
‘Woah, Ryugen!’
Without using any magic, only relying on the pure strength of his body, Seo Woojin’s impact was the kind that a mage could not withstand.
No matter what you call it, even if it’s a ‘War Mage’.
“Uweeek!”
The opponent vomited whatever he had eaten that morning and lost consciousness.
“Hoo-“
Seo Woojin, who quickly avoided the vomit, breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s Seo Woojin’s victory.”
Only about a minute had passed since the match began.
Seo Woojin easily claimed victory.
‘Now, the next match is...’
The match with the ‘Magic Girl’.
* * *
“‘Mister! I won too!”
Back in the waiting area, Seo Woojin nodded his head at Lee Jiah’s familiar excitement.
“Congratulations.”
He offered a calm congratulatory greeting.
Lee Ji-ah frowned as if she was unhappy with Seo Woojin’s reaction.
But instead of dwelling on it, she was more eager to share other news.
“Dahye won too! Oh, didn’t you see, Mister? Her opponent was a guy with a job like an A-rank swordsman or something, but Dahye won! Isn’t that amazing?”
This time, he was a bit surprised.
“Won against an A-rank?”
He could easily defeat other heroes because his class is Unmeasurable, but Kim Dahye was different.
While her skills had improved from training with him, her class was C.
Yet, she won against an opponent with a two-level difference...
It was truly surprising.
Seo Woojin looked at Kim Dahye.
She nodded her head with an expression that revealed nothing of what she was thinking.
“I won.”
“Yes, congratulations.”
He also congratulated Kim Dahye.
“How did she win?”
As befitting the job of a ‘dragon tamer’, when she was with the dragon, she showed a level worthy of an S-class.
Of course, she still seemed shy, but still.
After watching for a while, time passed unnoticed.
“I should start preparing now.”
“Mister, fight!”
“Win and come back.”
“Fight!”
With the cheers of the three people, Seo Woojin stood up from his seat.
“Huh?”
Coincidentally, Gu Dong-hwan also stood up on the other side.
He smiled as his eyes met Seo Woojin’s.
It was a naive smile that didn’t match his size, but Seo Woojin shrank back.
‘I should finish this as soon as possible.’
It seemed to be good for his mental health.
“Gu Dong-hwan and Seo Woojin, please get ready.”
Finally, Seo Woojin’s match time came.
With Ludian’s announcement, Seo Woojin slowly walked onto the stage.
“It’s good to see you here again!”
Gu Dong-hwan laughed heartily and shook Seo Woojin’s hand.
Each time, Seo Woojin swallowed dry saliva while looking at the flexing biceps.
‘It feels even better than Testerone.’
The body is better than Testerone, which is bundled like a lump of male hormones.
He transcended the realm of the fitness fanatic.
“Then let’s have a good fight!”
“Let’s do it like this.”
When Seo Woojin nodded, Ludian signaled for the match to begin.
“Begin.”
Bang!
Seo Woojin hit the ground.
‘I have to finish this before the transformation...!’
He aimed for a quick resolution.
However, as if anticipating Seo Woojin’s movements, Gu Donghwan did not hesitate and activated his skill.
‘Transformation.’
Hwaah-!
A brilliant and dazzling multicolored light burst forth.
“Tsk!”
Seo Woojin clicked his tongue.
The light wasn’t just for showy effects.
‘I can’t see it.’
It obscured the vision and deceived the senses.
From a distance, it wasn’t apparent, but the light served as a kind of defense during the ‘transformation,’ preventing attacks.
‘It’s a rule not to attack during transformation.’
Seo Woojin wore a regretful expression.
He had wanted to finish it before witnessing that form, but it was already too late.
As the light subsided, the pervert in the yellow dress revealed himself, laughing with a side chest pose.
“Euhahaha!”
Gu Donghwan’s appearance, laughing while striking a side chest pose, was truly shocking.
However, he couldn’t afford to be distracted.
As his vision recovered, Seo Woojin activated his skill.
“Acceleration.”
Swish-!
Moving almost at the speed of light, he swung his sword.
‘If it’s this speed...’
It seemed like he could finish it before Gu Dong-hwan could react.
However, the transformed “magical girl” was not an easy opponent.
Zoom-!
It was blocked.
Despite the sword strike possessing the power to cut through steel, Gu Dong-hwan blocked it with just his muscles.
‘Crazy!’
Just how sturdy was his body?
“...Impressive.”
Although the attack failed, Gu Dong-hwan had a surprised expression.
Drip-.
His skin split, and blood flowed.
“I didn’t think you’d be able to hurt me this much.”
The innocent smile disappeared from Gu Dong-hwan’s face.
Instead, he opened his mouth with a cautious expression.
“I guess I need to be a little more serious.”
‘That’s okay... ... .’
Seo Woojin slightly tensed and distanced himself.
At the same time,
“Come out, Mjolnir!”
Ping-!
With a cute sound effect, something with a yellow ribbon floated in the air.
“...hammer?”
“It’s a magic wand!”
