Episode 161. variable
– ?
– uh?
– ????
– what?
– Did I see it wrong? ?
The moment Kim Jin-seong removed the crack with the mana sphere, the broadcast chat speed within ‘Selephonet’ increased dramatically.
While everyone was surprised, the broadcasting crew was also showing an unusual reaction.
[…] Uh, wait a minute. Now, it looks like the crack disappeared immediately after being hit by Arlovski’s attack… ?]
[I saw it that way too… . I guess I’ll have to check again just in case.]
[Ah, that scene from before appears again.]
On the TV screen, the scene from earlier when Arlovski was throwing mana spheres was playing again.
The broadcasting staff checked the speed three more times, from basic speed to very slow speed, and then looked at each other’s faces.
[…] Looking at it again, it seems correct that the crack in that mana sphere explosion disappeared… .]
[Iknow, right… ?]
The footage of the broadcasters being dumbfounded and unable to speak was broadcast on the Internet through a camera.
It was almost like a broadcasting accident, but not many people were paying attention to their attitude right now.
This is because everyone was shocked by the fact that the ‘Void’ rift was eliminated with a normal attack.
In particular, the shock felt by Triunpo clan members was greater than anyone else.
“Huh?!”
“what!!”
Team 6 members, who were rooting for Arlovski’s success more than anyone else, were so shocked that they all jumped out of their seats… .
“You can kill the void in a way other than mana or subspace? then… .”
Aster, who was also shocked and stood up, muttered to himself and then looked at his master, Ricardo, and asked.
“Aren’t you saying that Arlovski’s level is at least that of a team leader?”
Ricardo had no answer.
He was the only one who kept his cool and continued to be lost in thought.
“… “If it’s pure skill, you’re right.”
It was a long time later that Ricardo opened his mouth.
“Then, it is safe to say that at a young age of less than 30, a genius among geniuses was born, comparable to Francisco, the fourth-in-command of Triunpo.”
“… … !”
“But unfortunately, I don’t think that’s the case.”
Ricardo’s voice as he continued speaking was still calm.
“My personal feeling is that the mana sphere just now appears to be Arlovski’s unique ability.”
“If it’s a unique ability… .”
“It seems like he used a special move with the power to eliminate even the void. “Look now.”
Ricardo gestured toward the TV.
“Except when you throw a mana sphere, you’re just focused on dodging. “If you are skilled enough to kill the Void with normal attacks, why do you need to avoid it?”
Everyone focused on the TV screen as he spoke.
Arlovski was seen trying hard to avoid the incoming void bullets and purple missiles.
“If it is true that he was eliminated with a special move like I said, then it is not that surprising. Of course, a special move that can kill the Void. “It’s amazing just to have that.”
“hmm… .”
Aster and others quickly nodded at Ricardo’s words. This was because the explanation I had just given was so logical that there was no room to refute it.
And, Team 1 leader Francisco was also thinking the same thing as Ricardo.
‘… Given the circumstances, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a unique ability.’
He, too, was concentrating on the image of Arlovski trying to avoid Patavina’s attack on the TV screen.
If you are already at a level where you can deal with the void, is there no reason to run away like that? Even if you just form a thick protective film over your body, it would be more than enough to block it all.
‘Yes, it is true that it is a unique ability. ‘It doesn’t make sense that he reached a similar level to me at that age.’
In the first place, there are only a few people on earth who can deal with the void normally.
If you ask them to name who they are, Francisco can recite them right away. This means that the number is so small.
‘But even if it’s a special move, it’s surprising that it’s that powerful.’
His eyes turned to Arlovski on the TV again.
He was somewhat out of Patavina’s range, reaching out his hand towards the one remaining purple crack and creating a mana sphere again.
‘More than anything… . If this continues, it will be difficult for Juan to come in first place in the first round.’
From discovering Patavina first to the power of the mana sphere that shocked all viewers.
Impact and process, nothing is ahead of Juan Arlovski at the moment.
Even with the power of that mana sphere, it seemed like Jinseong Kim would have defeated Patavina first.
‘A completely unexpected variable has appeared… .’
That’s when Francisco rested his elbow on the armrest of the sofa and rested his forehead on it.
The mana sphere created by Arlovski flew toward the last purple crack.
Quaaaang!
As the smoke from the explosion cleared with a loud noise, the TV screen revealed that the crack had completely disappeared.
* * *
“… … !”
Juan’s eyes began to flutter as he saw the crack in the void disappearing with another explosion.
When he removed the first crack earlier, he still wondered if it was possible, but now that the same situation was happening again, he had no choice but to admit it.
‘You can really remove the void? ‘In such an easy way?’
Of course, Juan also just removed the crack through mana subspace.

However, compared to the method used by Arlovski, there is a huge difference in terms of efficiency and difficulty.
First of all, Mana Subspace is a difficult skill that can be used only after you have the skills to clear at least the 20th floor of the Demon World Dungeon by yourself.
Additionally, the amount of mana required to make it once is enormous. When I removed the crack just now, I was able to extinguish it only after pouring almost all of my body’s mana into it.
On the other hand, what about that mana sphere that Arlovski used?
This is a technique that can be easily used by even a B-level hunter on Earth, let alone in the New World. It doesn’t even take that much mana.
If you are now at the level of Juan or Arlovski, you can create that mana sphere over 10,000 times.
‘How on earth can I get rid of it… ?’
I was so curious about what I did and how I did it that I felt like I was going crazy, but that wasn’t important right now.
He had no choice but to stop thinking as he twisted his body to avoid the void bullet flying right in front of him.
‘Let’s focus! What’s important now is that I gain the upper hand in the fight against that Russian guy.’
Juan regained his concentration and his eyes shined sharply again.
The important thing now is to defeat Patavina, the boss of the Void Dungeon, before Arlovski.
‘… But how can I win?’
Juan, who had just remembered Arlovski’s inaction again, suddenly felt at a loss.
I have to search for all the hidden cores around me to find an angle where I can fight them one-on-one, but why not just keep throwing mana spheres at Arlovski?
Like now.
‘Another mana sphere… !’
A huge mana sphere was being created again on Arlovski’s two outstretched palms.
And the direction Arlovski was looking was exactly towards the sky where Patavina was.
‘Are you really trying to kill Patavina with just the mana sphere…? ?’
Juan could only watch Arlovski like that, helpless.
Because, if that mana sphere really destroys Patavina, then going around looking for other cores will be all in vain.
‘… I shot!’
Soon, a mana sphere much larger than the ones so far began to fly rapidly towards Patavina.
Kwaaaaang!
With another roar, Patavina was engulfed in an explosion.
This time it felt like the explosion lasted for quite a while. That’s how powerful the explosion was.
Only after some time had passed did the explosion smoke clear,
“… … !!”
Juan’s eyes widened.
Patavina had disappeared from nowhere.
‘… They really killed it… ?’
Juan was astonished, and only then did he realize that the surrounding sky had returned from purple to its original state.
And, a black portal suddenly began to form in the place where Patavina disappeared… .
It was a return portal that appeared after defeating the boss.
“… … .”
Juan puts down his hands helplessly.
Everything, including his facial expression, posture, and eyes, could be expressed in three words: ’emptiness.’
It was worth it.
‘At the time, 30 people hung on for over an hour and managed to catch that Patavina so easily… .’
It was a moment when I felt so insignificant, having cheered as if I had won everything in the world after barely catching Patavina.
Whether he did it or not, Arlovski was walking towards the return portal without even giving him a glance.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 500 Vis Creama points.
▶ Acquired the monster’s comprehensive characteristic, ‘Lord of the Void’.

– Summon the Eye of the Void: Summons the ‘Eye of the Void’ nearby. Consumes 1,000 mana.
‘… It’s a reward worthy of a boss, after all.’
Jinseong Kim nodded as if satisfied and removed the notification window in front of him.
Ability is an ability, but more than anything, I liked the ridiculous jump in Vis Crimea points and abilities.
‘Then I’m going. ‘I’ll be back a little earlier next time.’
[Heng! I don’t believe it. I said that last time and left. Do you know how many days I’ve been waiting to lose my voice?]
‘… Don’t wait so burdensomely. Not some kind of girlfriend… . See you next time then.’
With a final greeting, Jinseong Kim took a step toward the return portal.
At the same time, I heard Dantillion’s farewell words in my head.
[Come back as soon as possible! And he quickly adapts to his void abilities. That’s a pretty good ability.]
‘Okay~.’
Kim Jin-seong responded indifferently and continued walking.
Only when the surrounding environment changes and you return from the dungeon to the real world,
‘… wait for a sec.’
Kim Jin-seong realized this.
‘Dantillion, you bastard, didn’t you just tell me to quickly adapt to my void abilities…? ?’
Kim Jin-seong’s face hardened.
How did Dantillion notice that I had absorbed the Void power?
“Ah, you’re out. “Come this way.”
At that time, one of the evaluation team members waiting in front of the portal entrance gestured toward Kim Jin-seong.
As Kim Jin-seong approached, the evaluation team placed a measuring instrument on the Hunter watch on his wrist and pressed a button.
Beep. He said after hearing the sound.
“Congratulations on passing the first round in first place.”
