The important thing is an unbreakable heart
That time.
On TV, the commentators were broadcasting in a more serious voice than usual.
[···This is the end of the survival journey of Kang Chan’s only blood relative, Kang Minhyuk.]
[You were eliminated in the first round of the preliminary round. This is a player that most viewers expected would easily advance to the finals…]
[Currently, most of the responses in the chat window are disappointing… But folks, this is the Colosseum. It is a survival program where it is not strange no matter who survives and who dies.]
There were many people who were disappointed with the monitor room.
“Ah… I’m so sorry.”
“I tried so hard to keep Kang Min-hyuk on the air for 4 days…”
“I can’t help it. “You expected something unexpected like this to come out, right?”
The main PD comforted the disappointed employees.
“Now forget about Kang Min-hyuk and focus more on Kim Jin-seong right now. “If we’re unlucky, even Kim Jin-seong might be killed by the 1-1 defense team.”
Everyone turned their heads to the monitor, following the gaze of the main producer who said that. The monitor was broadcasting images of defense forces running toward Kim Jin-seong.
“Iknow, right. If Kim Jin-seong dies, Group A of the preliminaries will be a real disaster…”
“Ah, why am I so anxious? Kang Min-hyuk also died because of that team.”
“Everyone focus! From now on, only Kim Jin-seong and the 1-1 defense team will be sent alternately. “Keep that in mind.”
Everyone seemed to be concentrating on their work again at the loud voice of the main producer.
While the employees were agitated, there was one person who was looking at the monitor with a cool gaze.
It was Baekjun.
‘The number of defense forces has just increased.’
As he checks the monitor on the 1-1 defense force, it has already been a while since he looked away from Kang Min-hyuk’s corpse.
‘Definitely 1-1, that guy has leadership.’
Even if you don’t have much time left, it’s not that easy to get someone you meet in passing to join your team right away.
This is impossible without excellent eloquence that can persuade someone to become a team member, charisma that can continue to control someone after making them a team member, and cool-headed judgment toward the target.
The 1-1 defense team I’ve seen so far has the most outstanding leadership among those I’ve seen in Group A of this preliminary round.
‘I think we need to watch a little more. If the joined defense forces move as one body like before…’
Baekjun took turns looking at the monitors of Kim Jinseong and the 1-1 defense team, which were getting closer, and then took out his smartphone as if he remembered something.
Then I called the funeral home I was partnering with.
‘I don’t know about anyone else, but I have to take care of Kang Min-hyuk until the end.’
Kang Chan, a senior who helped establish the Colosseum program.
If you think about him, as a junior, you should definitely take care of this, and that was the duty.
* * *
Taang-!
At the sound of gunshots coming from afar, everyone in the 1-1 Defense Force stopped walking.
“There are gunshots ahead!”
“Is this the direction the Mana Hawk flew…?”
Everyone’s eyes naturally turned to the leader, the 1-1 defender.
He, who was already concentrating on controlling the Mana Hawk, was nodding his head as if he had just lost concentration.
“that’s right. “Mana Hawk was shot.”
“Are you a player?”
“yes. But, he seems like the player who played well with Kang Min-hyuk on the wall in District 2.”
Everyone flinched at those words.
If you were the contestant with the youthful face who was active with Kang Min-hyuk…
“That bastard who was running around under that shadow?”
“Isn’t he dangerous? In some ways, I think he’ll be tougher than Kang Min-hyuk…”
The group still has the trauma of running away from Kang Min-hyuk earlier.
But do I have to fight again with that guy who showed inaction on par with Kang Min-hyuk?
Even now, it is dawn and everywhere is covered with shadows. This means that it is a much better environment for him to run amok.
“I can not help it. There isn’t much time left to wander around looking for other players. “What time is it?”
“···4:14.”
The expressions of the group members darkened for an instant at the words of the participant wearing a wristwatch.
There was now less than an hour left until the sun rose.
“If we are unlucky, there is a high possibility that we will not be able to find another player in the remaining 40 minutes. “Whether we become porridge or rice, we have to compete this time.”
“······.”
“Don’t be scared! You can! Don’t give up! “I learned my lesson from dealing with Kang Min-hyuk, so I just need to be more careful this time and catch him clearly!”
The 1-1 defense team, feeling a sinking atmosphere, tried to raise morale by speaking loudly.
“Furthermore, the number has increased compared to before. “The abilities of the new colleagues are all good.”
The current number of people in the group is 19.
Even though we lost 8 people earlier, we actually gained one more person. While scouting for players, as many as 9 defenders joined as colleagues.
“This time, we have carefully planned our strategy to capture it more reliably than before. “With this strategy, we can definitely catch it!”
“···.”
“Come on, let’s give it a try! Um, number 2-41?”
At those words, the person with the numbers 2-41 written on his shoulder raised his hand.
“You said you could definitely detect all living things within a 10m radius, right?”
“yes.”
“Are you sure? “There are no conditions or anything like that, right?”
2-41 The defenders shook their heads.

“Anyone can notice unless they are 10 times stronger than me.”
“It’s 10 times better… “Anyway, we wouldn’t be able to defeat a monster that strong.”
Soon the 1-1 defense looked at everyone and gave instructions.
“We will quickly move to the front, focusing on number 2-41. It’s only 100 meters away, so you probably haven’t gone far yet. Then before you move…”
1-1 The defenders put their palms together and began to concentrate. The intention is to summon the Mana Hawk again.
But there was no need for that.
“Bah, there’s an enemy right in front of you!!”
2-41 The defenders pointed forward and shouted in an urgent voice.
The people standing there tried to react quickly and move, but they were one step too late.
Wow!
“Ugh…!”
One person fell helplessly to the floor with blood gushing from his neck.
Kim Jin-seong, who retrieved the sword he swung, looked at the 2-41 defenders and thought.
‘That person pinpointed my location.’
So far, only one person, Kang Min-hyuk, has found out the location of Kim Jin-seong while using the ‘Shadow Hiding’ skill.
But Kang Min-hyuk was able to do that. Although he was in a state of runaway, he was at a much higher level than Kim Jin-seong at the time.
I once saw on the Internet that a person with a high level can usually determine the location of a person with a low level through their senses.
That was something Kim Jin-seong himself, who entered this forest, was vaguely feeling.
‘Then you’re saying that person is stronger than me…’
…But that didn’t seem to be the case.
I didn’t feel the enormous intimidation I felt when I met Kang Min-hyuk from the front.
Nevertheless, the fact that Kim Jin-seong’s location was discovered…
‘He probably possesses a skill or characteristic that allows location detection.’
Kim Jin-seong, who understood the situation, quickly made up his mind.
If the other party is able to determine Kim Jin-seong’s location, it is correct to say that guerrilla warfare using ‘hiding in the shadows’ as usual would be difficult.
Then, there is only one answer left.
‘It’s all-out war!’
▶ Use Vis Crimea points to activate the user’s unique attribute, ‘Magi’.
Kim Jin-seong, who activated his demon energy, rushed towards the defenders.
The defenders were astonished.
Incredibly fast!
He seemed to move much faster than Kang Min-hyuk, who was on the verge of a runaway that we saw earlier.
1-1 The defenders shouted urgently.
“Quickly counterattack!!”
Okay!
“Ahh…!”
“Kruk…”
However, the two defenders standing closest could not even react.
Only after losing three comrades so quickly did the defenders seem to come to their senses and respond.
Damn it.
The first response of defenders with cooling skills was to extend their palms.
“Oh.”
Kim Jin-seong, who was slightly embarrassed by a skill he had never experienced, soon moved his body violently and broke the ice that covered his entire body.
The 1-1 defenders did not miss that split-second timing and shouted one after another.
“Everyone spread out and shoot! Ready to use the next skill!”
All remaining defenders moved away from Kim Jin-seong’s position and performed their assigned duties.
Some were spitting fire into their muzzles, while others were holding out their palms to use skills.
But Kim Jin-seong was a step faster.
Just before the gunshot was heard, he went into the floor using the ‘Shadow Hiding’ skill.
Kim Jin-seong disappeared from the sight of the defenders in an instant.
However, they had defense group 2-41 that was capable of detecting life forms.
“It’s over there on the left!!”
Number 2-41 urgently pointed with his finger toward the left where many defenders were gathered.
The 1-1 defense team, who saw this, looked right next to them and shouted.
“Now!!”
Defender number 3-30, who was standing right next to him, quickly held out his palm to use the skill he had prepared in advance.
OK,
Rumbling!
The ground on the left side where the defenders were standing began to shake violently.
The unique skill ‘Earthquake’ in numbers 3-30 has been activated.
“Wow?!”
“Uh oh…!”
All of the defenders standing there stumbled, and some even fell.
It wasn’t just the defense forces.
“Oh…!”
Even Kim Jin-seong, who had suddenly been dragged to the ground, was staggering.
Because he was damaged by the earthquake skill, the ‘Shadow Hide’ skill was released.
“Quick, next skill!!”
The 1-1 defense team, seeing this as an opportunity, shouted louder than ever.
The nearby defense forces also responded immediately.
“I used the confusion skill!”
“Neutralization complete!”
The skill combo that had previously put Kang Min-hyuk in danger was once again used by Kim Jin-seong.
The effect of the abnormal status skills that poured into Kim Jin-seong in an instant was perfect.
“Uh…?”
Kim Jin-seong, unable to come to his senses even after the earthquake was over.
1-1 The defenders urgently gave instructions.
“Attack only from a distance! Never go near it! “I think about Kang Min-hyuk earlier!”
This time, it was a 1-1 defense force that would never engage in close combat until it was completely incapable of combat, even if it took a long time.
All his colleagues followed his instructions.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
Soon, the surrounding defenders began firing at Kim Jin-seong in unison.
Kim Jin-seong, who was hit by a bullet, seemed to be bleeding all over his body, and then his appearance suddenly changed.
“···uh?”
“what?!”
Everyone was taken aback by Kim Jin-seong’s appearance, which suddenly turned into a small scarecrow.
and,
Chop clap!
The sound of successive cuts was heard right next to the 1-1 defense team.
He turned his head and opened his eyes.
Kim Jin-seong’s sword suddenly appeared, and the heads of three of his colleagues were blown off in his field of vision.
Instinctively, he turned his gaze towards the shoulders of the three decapitated men.
“···!!”
At the same time, I felt like my heart was dropping.
The three dead now were number 3-30, who used the earthquake skill, and the defense force, who used the confusion skill and cooling skill respectively.
“oh! oh my god.”
Jinseong Kim’s words with wide eyes were heard in the ears of the 1-1 defenders.
