Episode 80. vs Seoldown
– oh
– We finally met.
– Are you going to fight?
– I see them approaching each other, so they look like they’re going to fight?
– Wow, this is the greatest match ever.
– ㄷㄱㄷㄱ
– Something big is coming.
At the sight of Kim Jin-seong slowly walking toward Seoldown, the official Internet broadcast chat window sped up at an incredible speed.
The commentators also raised their voices.
[Finally, Kim Jin-seong and Seol Da-un met! I see Kim Jin-seong silently approaching Seoldown with a solemn expression!]
[Looking at the atmosphere, it looks like there’s going to be a fight. If this happens, one of the two will definitely die.]
[To all viewers watching the broadcast, please take your seats immediately! The best big match since Colosseum Survival Season 12 began is about to unfold!]
The monitor room suddenly became busy as well.
“Now, let’s all focus on the battle between Kim Jin-seong and Seol-daun. “Now, without going into detail, you know what to do, right?”
“I know. Cameras, drones, and sound are all focused on the two.”
“The editing team, internet team, and CG team are all on standby in real time.”
Baekjun asked Seungwook Jang while watching the movements of the employees who were now working together well.
“What do you think will happen?”
“hmm… . “I have to say the same thing again.”
“Was the prediction wrong this time too?”
“no. “Not that one.”
Jang Seung-wook shook his head.
“If it’s the current Kim Jin-seong, you never know. “If it was Kim Jin-seong before entering the training room, he would have lost 100%.”
“ah.”
Only then did Baekjun nod as if he understood Jang Seungwook’s words.
Immediately after the second round of the preliminaries began, when Kim Jin-seong was fighting Quagmire in the sewer, Jang Seung-wook made the same statement as just before.
‘Kim Jin-seong won at that time. What about now… .’
Baekjun looked at Kim Jin-seong and Seol-daun on the TV screen facing each other with eyes full of anticipation.
* * *
“Where have you been hiding? “I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
Seol-daun shouted at Kim Jin-seong, who was approaching her, with a truly happy expression on his face.
“I already killed him and tried to search the entire island to find you!”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t know where it is. “The other kids were leaking mana so openly that it was easy to find it, but strangely, I couldn’t feel your mana.”
“Why did you want to meet me?”
When Kim Jin-seong asked again, Seol-daun smiled and answered.
“Why why? Because I think it would be fun to hang out with you. “Actually, I thought it would be something like this, but it was a lot more boring than I thought.”
Seoldaun tapped Pungbitgaram’s body lying at his feet with his foot.
“But I’m sure you can satisfy me! Besides, don’t you think you’ve become much stronger now that you’ve absorbed Windbit Garam’s abilities?”
“… … .”
“I guess the absorption is really right? “I see you can’t refute it?”
Seol-daun looks at Kim Jin-seong while smiling heartily.
Kim Jin-seong stopped walking while facing Seoldown.
At a distance of approximately 10 meters from Seoldown, he opened his mouth.
“You’re being damned.”
“… huh?”
“You just want to kill me, but you’re giving an absurd reason.”
Jinseong Kim took a fighting stance.
“Well, anyway, it’s not a bad choice. “If you can’t kill me today, you’ll be so strong that I won’t be able to touch even a single hair from the third round of the preliminaries.”
Seol-daun’s eyes widened at Kim Jin-seong’s next words, but then he burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha… . “I thought you’d have fun too.”
Then he immediately swung one hand towards Kim Jin-seong.
Puff poop!
At the same time, powerful explosions exploded one after another, centered around Kim Jin-seong.
Soon the thick smoke cleared, and Seoldaun’s eyes widened.
‘You’re fine?’
Kim Jin-seong, casually standing in his original posture.
The only difference was that his entire body was covered in intensely pulsing black mana.
That black mana probably blocked the explosion attack.
“Then how about this?”
This time he extended his hand towards Kim Jin-seong.
Soon, a huge firestorm was created centered around Jinseong Kim.
It was so big that it was more than enough to cover the area where Seoldown was standing.
Jinseong Kim immediately summoned a thick magic shield in front to block the fire storm.
At the same time, he raised the dagger in his right hand to the sky and slashed downwards with all his might.
The resulting black half-moon split the fire storm vertically and flew toward Seoldown.
“… … !”

Seoldaun’s eyes grew even wider.
It wasn’t enough to easily split a huge firestorm; it was so powerful that it flew right through it.
Seoldown waved his other hand and tried to destroy the black half-moon.
However, nothing happened.
That fact surprised Seoldown even more.
‘You can’t control your mana, right?’
Seoldown urgently raised his other hand and created a thick mana shield.
Pow! After destroying more than half of the mana shield with a loud roar, the black half-moon disappeared.
“… This… . “It’s definitely amazing.”
Seoldaun opened his mouth with an expression of admiration.
“This is the first time I’ve been unable to control my opponent’s mana to this extent… .”
“… … .”
“This is only possible if the mana you use has different properties from normal mana.”
Soon, the smile on Seoldaun’s face grew deeper.
“I like it very much, Jinseong Kim! So much fun! ha ha ha!”
* * *
– Wow.
– I easily blocked it and even counterattacked!
– A Seoldown attack can be blocked that easily?
– I told you! Kim Jin-seong is on a different level from the other contestants!
– I don’t know what will happen if this happens… ?
[Have you seen it?! Kim Jin-seong blocked all of Seoldown’s attacks and even counterattacked! For reference, Kim Jin-seong is the first player to successfully defend against Seoldown in all 12 seasons!]
[As expected, Kim Jin-seong is different. If this happens, Seol-daun can’t help but be nervous, right?]
At that time, Jang Seung-wook was approaching the main producer and asking questions.
“You just said that snowdown has different properties from normal mana, right?”
“yes. “I heard that too.”
“Oh my… .”
Jang Seung-wook’s eyes lit up, and then he looked back at Baek Jun.
Baekjun was looking at the monitor, lost in thought.
Although Baek Jun rarely revealed his thoughts, Jang Seung-wook, who had seen him for a long time, could tell that Baek Jun was very surprised.
‘If what Seoldown said is true, the mana used by Kim Jin-seong is said to be a rare quality that only a few people have on earth… .’
The mana possessed within the body of the human species is bound to have similar properties. This is because everyone uses mana mixed in the air.
However, sometimes humans are born who use mana that is completely different from the mana mixed in the air.
For example, the magical energy possessed by monsters within their bodies, or the heavenly energy possessed by beings from the heavenly world, etc.
‘… Regardless of the nature of the mana, it is not good news for Seoldown.’
The greatest strength of Seoldown’s ‘mana control’ ability is that he can freely control the mana used by his opponent.
To do this, the properties must be similar to those of commonly used mana, but that is not possible.
‘If this is the case, Seol-daun will have no choice but to join Kim Jin-seong in a force-for-force battle… .’
* * *
Hwiee~!
Qarring!
That time.
At the place where Kim Jin-seong and Seol Da-un were competing, it looked like the end of the world had come.
Flames were boiling on the ground, and a huge ice storm was swirling in the sky. And huge thunderbolts were falling continuously.
Looking at the ground cracking occasionally and lava gushing out, it seemed safe to say that Kim Jin-seong was actually receiving all the punishment from heaven at once.
“ha ha ha. how is it? “Isn’t it hard to hold on?”
Seoldaun laughed out loud and asked teasingly at Jinseong Kim, who was holding on with his entire body covered in a magic shield.
“It looks like you’re trying to hold on by creating a private area on the ground… .”
As Seol-daun continued speaking, his eyes turned to Kim Jin-seong’s feet.
His eyes caught the sight of a black area rippling with waves of demon energy, gradually spreading out around Kim Jin-seong.
Seoldown noticed that a ‘space dominated by demonic energy’ was being created.
“Will I be able to block these elemental attacks for the rest of my life just by being in there? ha ha ha… !”
Piyung!
pop!
The magic arrow that once again flew towards the laughing Seoldown was blocked by the huge shield that had already been created and exploded.
Even though an arrow flew right in front of him and exploded, Seoldaun didn’t seem to care at all.
Kim Jin-seong saw that and bit his lip inwardly.
‘None of my attacks are working. It’s dangerous like this.’
Kim Jin-seong was still well able to withstand the elemental range attacks created by Seoldown.
However, the amount of magic energy consumed was too great.
Even now, Vis Crimea Point, shrinking at a noticeably fast rate, was coming into his view.
If things continue like this, the points will eventually drop, and Jinseong Kim will have no hope.
We must somehow succeed in attacking and turn the situation around.
‘First, let’s try to break through by one point.’
Kim Jin-seong made up his mind and removed the magic shield that protected him.
at the same time,
▶ I used my skill ‘Diamond Fire Ingot’.
The ‘Diamond Fire Ingot’ skill was used instead of the Magic Shield.
“… huh? what?”
Seoldaun widened his eyes. He seemed surprised to see Kim Jin-seong holding on just fine even though his magic shield was gone.
Whether he did it or not, Kim Jin-seong gathered mana and stamped the ground with his palm.
▶ I used the skill ‘Create subspace magic circle’.
At the same time, a translucent gray curtain wrapped around Jinseong Kim and Seoldown.
In that state, Kim Jin-seong rushed over.
Kim Jin-seong’s speed, which received the buff of ‘subspace magic circle’ in a ‘space dominated by magic’, was almost as fast as light.
But Seoldaun snorted.
“You mean magic circles made of mana don’t work on me?”
He waved his hand, and in an instant, the gray curtain around him disappeared.
At the same time, Seoldown extends his other hand towards Kim Jin-seong, who is charging at him, and summons a huge shield.
At that time, Jinseong Kim used skills one after another.
▶ I used the skill ‘Nullify’.
▶ I used my skill ‘Confusion’.
▶ I used the skill ‘Petrification Powder’.
“uh… ?”
Suddenly, the thick shield that separated the two disappeared, and Seoldaun let out a confused voice without realizing it.
Kim Jin-seong could not confirm whether the above-mentioned skills he tried worked well.
But no matter what, the panicked moment was a golden opportunity to give Seoldaun a blow.
▶ I used my skill ‘Neck Cutter’.
Jinseong Kim immediately tried to swing the dagger in his right hand with all his might.
however… .
‘… … ?!’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes shook as his body movements suddenly became ridiculously slow.
Kim Jin-seong’s attack naturally failed due to his speed being slower than that of a slug, giving Seoldown time to recover again.
“Wow, I was really surprised this time. “You almost got hit hard, didn’t you?”
Seoldaun heaved a sigh of relief, and then swung his fist as if to slam down Kim Jinseong’s body, which had slowed down, with all his might.
At the same time, the ground on which he was standing split in half, creating a deep cliff, and Kim Jin-seong’s body naturally began to fall.
‘… … !!’
Kim Jin-seong, who was frightened, instinctively used the ‘Nullify’ skill and then immediately used the ‘Transformation’ and ‘Shadow Hiding’ skills in succession.
Kim Jin-seong, who immediately returned to his original speed, was barely able to escape the crisis by moving to the ‘space dominated by demonic energy’, a place filled with shadows.
“Hehehe, I guess you were very surprised?”
Seoldaun laughed heartily as he looked at Jinseong Kim’s expression as he returned to the ground.
“How does it feel to suddenly slow down, like you’re playing in slow mode? Look forward! “Next time, I’ll turn you into a stone statue and make it so you can’t move.”
“… … !”
“This is my power! “In a space where mana is always full, you can act like an omnipotent god!”
Seol-daun shouts confidently. Now it seemed like he was confident of victory against Kim Jin-seong.
“Now, keep going! I will fight as much as you want in your territory! But know one thing. “Earth is a blessed planet filled with mana!”
“… … .”
“What are you doing? Hurry up and stop attacking me! “I want you to make me more happy!”
Kim Jin-seong continues to look at Seol-daun, who is shouting more excitedly than ever, in silence.
After a while, Jinseong Kim walked toward Seoldown.
Seeing that, Seoldaun grinned in satisfaction.
“okay! The Kim Jin-seong I know doesn’t give up that easily… huh?”
Seoldaun looked puzzled as he saw Kim Jinseong hitting the ground again.
“Is it a subspace magic circle again? “How many times do I tell you that it’s useless?”
Whether he said so or not, Kim Jin-seong, who had trapped Seol-daun with a gray curtain, rushed towards Seol-daun again with all his might.
Seoldown shook his head, clicked his tongue, and lightly waved his hand to try to remove the magic circle once again.
however… .
‘… uh?’
Unlike before, the subspace magic circle was intact. It was not removed like before.
Seoldown hurriedly tried once again to move the mana in the magic circle.
But this time there was no response.
‘W-what?!’
That’s when Seoldaun, who was extremely embarrassed, shouted inwardly.
Kim Jin-seong, who had already come running right in front of him, swung his fist at him with all his might.
Bye!
With the sound of something being smashed, Seoldown’s new model flew back helplessly, its chin tilted to one side.
