Episode 173. Ability Battle (2)
puck! puck! puck!
It seemed as if Arlovski, who had reached the friendly tower, could be heard hitting the tower hard.
Juan, who was looking at the mini map while zooming in, made quick calculations in his mind.
‘A dragon will appear soon, and once you defeat it, the top tower will be destroyed.’
Seeing that its durability was dropping at a fairly rapid rate, it seemed like it wouldn’t be able to last until a team fight.
‘… Can not help it.’
But that didn’t mean there was an alternative.
Since everyone has already gathered in the dragon nest for a teamfight, no matter what happens, they must at least catch the dragon.
“Ignore the tower and focus on teamfights! “Dragons are next!”
Still, Juan, who knew that the most important thing was winning the teamfight, once again warned the blue team players.
“think carefully. Now that Arlovski is out, the red team is incomparably weaker than us! If we use that to open a teamfight, we will win for sure!”
The biggest person of interest on the Red Team is Arlovski.
The Red Team that Arlovski joined is something that cannot be ignored, but on the other hand, the current Red Team without Arlovski is a force that is not at all scary.
– But the enemies don’t come close and stay far away?
At Chano’s words, Juan looked into the distance.
His eyes caught the sight of four members of the Red Team wandering around below the dragon nest, just watching.
“… of course. Because they don’t want to fight in a team fight.”
As it is, Arlovski will continue to push the top line and hope that the Blue Team will be in trouble.
Juan, who knew that, had no reason to act as they intended.
“Attack the dragon first! Then it will come closer on its own.”
At Juan’s words, Gian, who was closest to the dragon’s nest, looked at the dragon.
A huge dragon sleeping with its coils closed… .
It was bigger than any monster he had ever seen in his life, so Gian hesitated without even realizing it.
“What are you doing?! Don’t hit it too fast!”
However, at Juan’s urging, Gian had no choice but to attack the dragon.
Let’s hit the dragon with the sword Gian is holding.
Quaaaa!!
With a roar, the dragon flapped its wings as if in anger and raised its huge size.
The dragon with its wings outstretched was much larger than when it was coiled earlier.
– Wow, Mr… !
– It’s really big, right?
– Did they really take out a dragon from the Demon World dungeon? ?
The time when everyone is amazed at the dragon’s majesty.
The dragon’s mouth opened wide, shooting a huge fireball at Gyan who was nearby.
Quang!
– Ugh!
Gian, who managed to avoid the attack by jumping to the side, looked at the spot where he was standing.
Burning brightly with a huge flame… . Looking at the fact that there was even a dent in the ground, I could roughly guess how powerful the breath had just been.
‘It’s so strong!’
It’s clear that he was captured for this match, so even though his arms and legs are handcuffed like hunters, he has that much power.
The thought that if he was not careful, he could be killed by the dragon before the team fight with the red team, passed through Gian’s mind.

[We finally hit the dragon!]
[As expected, the blue team, which wanted to open a teamfight, touched the dragon first.]
[By the way, look at Kian’s expression. He looks quite surprised by the power of his breath.]
[ha ha ha… . It’s surprising.]
Daniel Narrator smiled and continued.
[In fact, the dragon that appears only at level 30 or higher in the Demon World Dungeon was directly captured alive and placed in the arena.]
[As far as I know, doesn’t he appear as a boss in early level 30 dungeons?]
[you’re right.]
For reference, when the level of the Demon World dungeon exceeds 30, major clans also decide to form a team of 20 or more people, including aces, and run raids.
Since the boss of such a dungeon is inside the arena, the power of his breath is enormous even if he is wearing mana suppression handcuffs.
[In fact, at that level, if you take one wrong hit, you will immediately fall into a dying state.]
[Indeed, how will a team fight with a dragon that is much stronger than expected unfold? I’m really looking forward to it!]
Thomas Caster’s eyes were filled with interest as he looked at the screen while continuing the broadcast.

– Destroyed the enemy turret.
That was when the following system window appeared on the helmet screens of everyone on the red team.
– The Blue Team is playing Dragon!
Kim Jin-seong, who heard the ally’s report, looked toward the dragon’s nest.
In the ward near the previously planted dragon nest, his eyes caught the sight of the entire Blue Team starting to hunt the dragon.
“… For now, just wander around nearby. Never give a team fight. “I will join right away.”
After finishing speaking, Jinseong Kim killed the last remaining mini monster and then tried to move for instantaneous transport.
I also knew that one of the reasons the Blue Team was attacking the dragon was to call out Jinseong Kim.
But I couldn’t help it.
‘I can’t give away the dragon like this, and to do that, I have to fight in a team fight.’
And in order to play a teamfight, Kim Jin-seong, who is equal to more than half of the Red Team’s strength, must have joined.

– No, don’t come.
At that time, Kim Jin-seong’s steps stopped at the sudden sound of a voice.
– I will try to keep it in check somehow. Keep pushing the top line.
After speaking, the red team player begins to collect mana by folding his hands towards the dragon nest.
Team 5, it was Hans.
‘no way… .’
That’s when Kim Jin-seong made an expression of surprise.
A huge green sphere was created in front of Hans’ two palms.
As soon as the sphere was completed, it quickly flew forward.
Pow!
The sound of a chunk of dense liquid hitting the ground was heard near the Blue Team players.
– … uh?
– what?
The entire Blue Team looked at him in surprise.
A large green swamp area was created around the area where the sphere landed, covering the floor where the blue team players were standing.
At the same time, system windows pop up on their helmet screens.
– You are suffering from the ‘poisoned’ condition.
– HP steadily decreases due to the ‘poisoning’ effect.
– Movement speed has slowed.
“… … !”
Juan’s eyes widened.
Did you suddenly become addicted?
– Holy shit… !
– It’s breath! be careful!
– Fuck!
The poisoning state was one thing, but the bigger blow to the Blue Team was that their movement speed slowed down while they were fighting the dragon with all their might.
It seemed like it was because of the green swamp that covered the dragon’s nest.
“Everybody get out of the swamp!”
After immediately giving instructions, Juan turns around and runs towards the outside of the swamp.
Still, his head was fixed on the red team players below.
‘Which bastard used the ability?’
There was no need to even find out who had just thrown the green sphere.
This was because Hans, the person involved, was once again creating a green sphere with his palms together.
– If I attack this time, I only have mana left to fire one more time.
While completing the sphere, Hans spoke to the entire red team.
– But now, the second ‘poison ball’ is enough to keep the Blue Team’s dragon hunting in check.
As Hans finished speaking, he fired a second poison ball.
Pow! With an explosion sound, the land just above the dragon’s nest turned into a green swamp again.
The Blue Team, who had just run away there, seemed to be distraught again and scattered in all directions.
– That’s Okay. The Poison Swamp lasts approximately 1 minute, so until then, enemies won’t even dare to attack the dragon.
Hans looked at Jinseong Kim as he continued speaking.
– In the meantime, keep pushing the top. In about a minute, you can push the second tower, right?
Kim Jin-seong looked at Hans in silence, then nodded and continued running toward the opponent’s top line.
“… “Well, just in case, the other four are staying together.”
Kim Jin-seong, who had been catching mini monsters endlessly after giving instructions, only opened his mouth again after a long time.
“Thank you, Hans.”
Hans smiled and answered those words.
– Foot, no. Rather, I am grateful.
“… … ?”
– You’re right. We have to do our best in the current situation. When will I, the youngest member of Team 5, be presented with a showcase like this that everyone will pay attention to?
Hans began to speak honestly about his feelings.
– If you don’t act now, the Triunpo executives will only focus on Juan and Luca in the future. Oh, that includes you too.
Do you know anything? If I make a big success this time, will I also be established as a top prospect just like Juan and Luca?
Kim Jin-seong nodded at those words.
Rather than leaving his ‘Poison Ball’ ability as the last hidden card, he revealed and used it to step up in Triunpo.
“First of all, one thing is certain: if our team wins, you are guaranteed at least third place until the second round.”
– ah… . is that so?
Hans smiles at Kim Jin-seong’s comfort.
But it wasn’t a lie.
If the red team wins, the scores of the five people will naturally increase significantly.
In that case, it was certain that Hans, who had a much higher score in the first round, would beat the top three members of the blue team and enter at least the top three.
“Ah, of course, if other team members use their ‘abilities’ to perform even better, the story will be a little different… .”
Kim Jin-seong speaks in a meaningful tone, emphasizing the word ‘ability’ and trailing off.
There was not a single member of the team who did not understand what that meant.
When they understood, they all had a worried look on their faces.
‘What Arlovski said is correct, but… .’
‘First of all, one thing is certain: if things continue like this, only Arlovski and Hans from the red team will score points.’
The Red Team is in agony while thinking to themselves.
It was then.
Wow!
“evil!”
At Hans’ sudden scream, everyone’s heads jerked and turned in that direction.
Hans is taking a long step back, looking very shocked.
The person who attacked him… .
‘drafting?’
Gian, who looked like he had just swung his sword, was standing where the four members of the red team were gathered and looking back at everyone.
– what?!
– How did we get here?
– Grab it first!
The red team reflexively rushed in with their weapons drawn to attack Gian.
The three of them, excluding Hans, quickly came right in front of Gian and brandished their weapons.
but,
“!”
“uh?”
Their weapons only split the air.
The Red Team looks around to find Gian, who has disappeared everywhere.
“I already ran away.”
At that time, Kim Jin-seong’s voice was heard by the entire red team.
“We’re climbing the wall right now back toward the BLU team.”
– The wall… Ride?
“yes.”
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes as he answered clearly confirmed Kian’s current appearance.
This was because, by using the ‘Always check surroundings’ skill, the entire stadium could be checked.
“I’m pretty sure it’s climbing the wall.”
As Kim Jin-seong continued his answer, he saw Gian’s transparent form freely penetrating the wall.
Looking at that, Jinseong Kim thought to himself.
‘Giando also used his unique ability.’
