vs. someone who can freely control fire
‘Wow!’
Kim Jin-seong reflexively jumped out from the shadows and took a quick step back.
If I had reacted just a little later, at least one part of my body would have been burned, but I was able to avoid it by a narrow margin.
Soon the smoke from the explosion cleared, and an unfamiliar young man I had never seen before stood in the place where the rabbit hole was.
“For some reason, it felt strong! If I hadn’t focused, I would have been in big trouble… Phew!”
A man says this in a loud voice and even pretends to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at Kim Jin-seong.
“It doesn’t look like you came here to form an alliance with me, right?”
Kim Jin-seong did not bother to answer.
Just not putting down the sword that was pointed at the young man was enough of an answer.
The man grinned.
“Okay, come on! I told you in advance that I’m pretty strong? Hehehe.”
An image of a man taking a fighting stance after saying that out loud. He was ready to fight with his bare hands without any weapons.
But Kim Jin-seong did not let down his guard.
‘It’s definitely strong.’
The man was definitely not bluffing now.
Kim Jin-seong’s senses were warning that the level of manhood was quite high right now.
It was a similar feeling to when I met Kang Min-hyuk, who was still in his right mind.
Of course, that didn’t mean he had any intention of avoiding battle.
‘First, check your abilities.’
Kim Jin-seong kicked off the ground and rushed toward the man.
He narrowed the distance in an instant and swung his sword with a little bit of force control so that he could escape at any time.
Nevertheless, the black mana pulsing from Kim Jin-seong’s sword was very thick.
The moment when the sharp blade was about to touch the man’s body.
Red flames erupted from the man’s entire body for an instant.
It was the same as the one I saw earlier when the rabbit was about to explode.
Quang!
‘Ugh!’
Kim Jin-seong gritted his teeth as his entire body was covered in a much bigger explosion than before.
If it weren’t for the magic spells all over my body and the armor from the supply box I got earlier, I would have suffered great damage.
It was then.
Through the flames, something incredibly large swung down towards Kim Jin-seong.
Cough!
Jinseong Kim reflexively raised his sword to block the attack, but took more than two steps back.
It was such a powerful attack.
“Hey, Mr.! It’s armor for supply boxes, right? “I saw it now because it was dark!”
A man who soon lets out a regretful voice… no, a bear.
It looked like a really big bear.
Clearly, the person in front of me, who had been an ordinary human male just moments ago, had now transformed into the form of a huge bear.
The bear was scratching its head with its huge paw that had attacked Jinseong Kim just moments ago.
“If this is the case, ordinary physical attacks will be useless. “Do we have no choice but to keep burning with fire?”
A bear who talks to himself without any care whether Kim Jin-seong hears it or not.
Looking at that scene, Jinseong Kim thought to himself.
‘Do you have the ability to transform into an animal? Moreover, it does not have the strength of an ordinary bear…’
He has the ability to transform at will, from a very small rabbit to a huge bear that can be almost 3 meters tall.
Another person with such ability was Kim Jin-seong, whom I had faced for the first time since the preliminary round began.
* * *
– oh
– It’s Yoon A-ram.
– Yoon Aram vs Kim Jinseong? I can’t stand this
– Oh, I was going to sleep because I have to go to work tomorrow ㅡㅡ
Colosseum’s official Internet broadcast chat room where chats are posted quickly.
The commentators also raised their voices.
[Ah, Kim Jin-seong and Yoon A-ram, they are together! It is a match between the current top superstar in Group A and a new, up-and-coming star who has been receiving a lot of attention since the day before yesterday!]
[First of all, the atmosphere at the beginning is quite tense. Are you looking forward to this?]
The staff in the monitor room also became busier for a moment.
“Move all nearby unmanned cameras and drone cameras towards the two.”
“Take a picture as close as possible! “Don’t cause a disaster like before when you’re filming a battle scene and it gets obscured by leaves!”
Quang!
“It exploded again!”
“Be careful not to let the sparks hit your camera!”
“Just in case, please move three fire-fighting drones nearby in advance.”
The appearance of PD and other executives unable to take their eyes off the monitors while giving instructions.
Seungwook Jang in the back was also standing up and concentrating on the monitor.
At that time, he turned his head as he felt someone approaching from the side.
It was Baekjun.

Jang Seung-wook greeted him as he just arrived at the monitor room for his shift change.
“Are you here?”
“Let’s see first.”
Baekjun gave a short answer as he made the employees who were trying to greet Jang Seungwook sit down again.
Afterwards, both he and Jang Seung-wook fixed their eyes on the monitor.
* * *
Quang!
Once again, a huge explosion occurred where Kim Jin-seong was standing.
Kim Jin-seong, who quickly stepped aside to avoid the attack, looked straight ahead.
He saw another huge fireball flying right in front of him.
Kim Jin-seong barely escaped by bending his back in a hurry.
A huge explosion is heard again from behind.
‘There is no end.’
Kim Jin-seong looked towards Yoon A-ram.
The huge bear was poised to swing again with its front paws, which fluttered with fiery mana.
If left as is, a huge fireball like before will once again fly towards Kim Jin-seong.
Jinseong Kim wasn’t just watching that.
Kim Jin-seong immediately kicks the ground and runs towards the bear.
He closed the distance in an instant and was able to swing his sword right before the bear swung its front paw.
but,
Whick!
Kim Jin-seong’s sword split the air with the sound of cutting through the wind.
It has gone astray.
‘Tsk.’
Kim Jin-seong immediately jumped to the side without even looking at Yoon A-ram’s location.
In a split second, a huge ball of fire fell towards where he was standing.
With another explosion, the surrounding area was covered in flames.
Before the flames could be extinguished, an animal came out from inside and rushed towards Kim Jin-seong.
‘Cheetah?’
The speed of Yoon A-ram, disguised as a cheetah, was difficult for the eye to catch up with.
Kim Jin-seong, who was doing his best, couldn’t even think about avoiding it and had no choice but to take a defensive stance.
Quang!
As soon as he collided with the cheetah covered in fire, Kim Jin-seong’s entire body was covered in flames.
Seeing that, Yoon A-ram let out a cry of joy.
“nice! ···Hey, Mr.!”
However, a disappointed voice soon followed.
He soon realized that the burning figure before his eyes was not the real Kim Jin-seong, but a straw scarecrow.
“I thought I succeeded this time… Wow!”
Yoon A-ram, who was muttering, soon caught wind of the noise.
Jinseong Kim suddenly appeared like a ghost on the right side, where no one was, and swung his sword.
A distance so close that it can never be avoided.
But this time, Kim Jin-seong’s attack missed.
At the same time, he witnessed.
‘I transformed again.’
Just before the sword touched the cheetah, it suddenly became smaller and hid into the ground.
When I looked toward the ground, I saw a very small hole.
‘Is it a mole? ···Oh!’
Kim Jin-seong immediately felt a sense of crisis and jumped back a long way from where he was standing.
At the same time, the ground where I was standing erupted into flames accompanied by an explosion sound.
Rumble…!
Kim Jin-seong also saw the land there sinking completely.
If he had been standing there, it was clear that he would have been engulfed in flames and fallen to the ground at the same time, causing great danger.
“Hey, Mr.! Just take one hit!”
Yoon A-ram, who soon appeared on the ground and looked like a mole, shouted in an irritated voice.
At the same time, it transformed into another animal. This time it was a monkey.
As soon as he transformed, he jumped up to the tree above, stretched out his hands, and pointed his fingers at Jinseong Kim.
In an instant, both hands were covered with flame mana, and flame mana was shot out like arrows from ten fingers.
The speed of the flame arrow was so fast that it could not even be compared to the speed of the fireball flying earlier.
“······.”
Kim Jin-seong looked intently at the flying flaming arrow, and then walked three steps diagonally backward to the left.
Puff puff puff!
The flaming arrows that hit the ground caused a series of small explosions, and in the aftermath, the entire surrounding ground was covered in fire.
However, only the exact spot where Kim Jin-seong was standing appeared to be fine.
“What? Okay, let’s see if we can keep avoiding it!”
Yoon A-ram shouted and fired ten flaming arrows once again.
Kim Jin-seong looked at the arrow until the end again and then took a quick step forward.
At the same time, another series of explosions exploded where he was standing.
Meanwhile, the area around them as they fought was gradually turning into a sea of fire.
* * *
– and···!
– You avoid all that?
– But they keep shooting arrows?
– Wow, the tension is so strong;
– By the way, Yoon Aram is really strong huh?
– Isn’t Yoon A-ram winning by decision so far? Jinseong Kim is just running away.
Viewers watching the battle between the two were at their most excited today.
It was surprising that Yoon A-ram was not pushed back by Kim Jin-seong at all, but the biggest reason why it was so pleasing to the eye was because of Yoon A-ram’s brilliant flame attack.
The staff in the monitor room were also quite surprised.
“Was Yoon Aram this strong…?”
“Isn’t this the first time that Kim Jin-seong has been driven into a corner like that?”
“First of all, it is important to completely avoid Kim Jin-seong’s counterattack. Kang Min-hyuk only blocked it, but couldn’t avoid it…”
The monitor room staff unanimously praise Yoon A-ram.
However, Representative Baek Jun and Deputy Representative Jang Seung-wook were calmly assessing the situation of the battle.
“···No matter how you look at it, it seems like Kim Jin-seong cares, right?”
Baekjun nodded to Jang Seungwook’s opinion.
“First of all, I didn’t use any skills like confusion at all.”
Isn’t this Kim Jin-seong, who just a few hours ago used confusion skills against Porginae whenever the time came?
However, he has not yet used any abnormal status skills against Yoon A-ram.
“If you look at it, there is only one reason.”
“It’s probably to perfectly understand the other person’s patterns.”
Baekjun nods his head once again at Jang Seungwook’s reply.
Of all the Colosseum employees, the only one who could make a similar judgment to Baek Jun was Jang Seung-wook, the second-in-command.
* * *
The sound of a huge, burnt tree branch falling to the ground was heard from next to me.
Only then did Kim Jin-seong look around.
The surrounding environment, including the surrounding land and trees, had all turned into a fiery hell. It was a sight that didn’t feel much different from when he was running through the forest fire yesterday.
“how is it? Now, doesn’t it seem like there’s nowhere to escape anymore? Hehehe.”
Yoon A-ram, who looked like a monkey making a unique laughing sound at Kim Jin-seong, was sitting casually on a burning tree.
Is it because he has flame abilities? Even though he was sitting openly over the fire, he seemed unconcerned.
“Okay then, shall we continue? How long do you think you can survive in a fire without wearing a fire protection suit? “Your skin will start to feel hot now.”
“···.”
“If you want to run away right now, go quickly! I won’t bother chasing you. Instead, the moment you run away, you lose? huh? Hehehe.”
After saying that, Yoon A-ram rested her chin and looked at Kim Jin-seong leisurely.
Kim Jin-seong looked up at Yoon A-ram for a moment and put the sword he was holding back into the sheath on his waist.
Yoon A-ram looked slightly surprised at that sight.
“Oh~ I wonder? “I thought I would fight until the end because of my pride… Huh?”
Yoon A-ram, who thought Kim Jin-seong had given up the fight, soon changed.
I saw Kim Jin-seong taking a stance with both hands spread out and pointing in his direction.
“You did this before, right?”
While saying that, Jinseong Kim injected demonic energy into both hands.
Then, black mana began to fly like an arrow from the tips of the ten fingers at an incredibly fast speed.
“!!”
Shocked, Yoon A-ram reflexively threw herself into a nearby tree.
In just a split second, the black arrows hit the tree branch where Yoon A-ram was sitting.
Puff puff puff!
At the same time, the entire tree was torn apart with a series of explosion sounds.
That’s when Yoon A-ram’s eyes widened at the sight of pieces of wood flying in all directions.
“thanks.”
Kim Jin-seong’s voice reached his ears.
“Thanks to you, I learned a new way to use mana.”
