Episode 79. disaster
A broken old lighthouse at the northern end of the island.
[…] Therefore, all remaining taggers have been confirmed to pass the second round of the preliminary round.]
The announcement coming from the main castle was loud enough to be heard all the way to the tip of the island.
‘… What, what?’
Pungbitgaram, who was hiding there and listening to the announcement, opened his eyes round.
If all the taggers are confirmed to have passed the preliminary round… .
‘Then it’s almost over now, right?’
Pungbitgaram’s eyes were filled with joy.
If all the taggers passed the preliminary round, there would be no reason for either side to fight anymore.
From the point of view of a tagger, it would not be as foolish as fighting a thief and losing his life.
‘Even if I’m a tagger, I never fight. It’s over now!’
Pungbitgaram sat down with a look on his face that seemed like he had just lost his mind.
Then he looked up at the sky with a drooping expression. There was still a lot of time left before morning.
‘Whew, I’m glad, really! I was one of the two lucky thieves who survived.’
Pungbitgaram thought he was blessed with heavenly luck today. He survived underground even against Quagmire, who had ridiculous abilities, and even betrayed Kim Jin-seong and ran into the eyes of the taggers before escaping safely.
And I hid in fear until I heard the final announcement.
‘I thought I was going crazy every time the thieves died one by one!’
As the announcement was made that the thief had died every ten minutes, Pungbitgaram gradually fell into a state of panic.
If it weren’t for the announcement that all of the taggers had passed, I was shaking so much that I might have peed myself.
‘Anyway, that’s enough! Now I’m alive Since everyone has passed, there won’t be any more crazy people to fight… .’
When I thought about it to that point.
A familiar and cool sensation felt right in front of me.
‘… … !’
Pungbitgaram’s body moved reflexively at the warning of death screaming from every cell in his body.
It immediately transformed into smoke and flew sideways as fast as possible.
at the same time,
Quang!
A huge explosion exploded where he was standing.
‘Hehe… !’
Pungbitgaram was scared when he saw the huge cloud of flames.
If he hadn’t moved reflexively, Poongbitgaram would most likely have died.
“Come~! “It’s a bit different, isn’t it?”
At that time, an unfamiliar voice came to Pungbitgaram’s ears.
Pungbitgaram turned his head to check on the other person and felt his heart sink.
‘Snow, snow!’
One of the people who emerged as the biggest star in the first round of the preliminaries, and the person who most hated to meet among the taggers, was looking at him with an interesting expression.
‘We have to run away first!’
As soon as he saw Seoldown, Pungbitgaram instinctively thought of running away. The option of fighting back simply did not exist in his mind right now.
Pungbitgaram transformed into smoke and began to move away at a fast speed.
In a pitch-black environment without any light, it was almost impossible to visually see Pungbitgaram’s escape, transformed into smoke.
but,
“Where are you running away?”
Seoldaun saw that and immediately raised his hand.
pop!
Another explosion was heard from the far right.
It was an explosion that exploded right in front of Pungbitgaram, which was scattered with smoke.
Even if the explosion had exploded just 1m to the left, Pungbitgaram would have suffered serious injuries. Even though she turned into smoke, she was not invincible.
‘omg… !’
Pungbitgaram bit his lip and tried to run away in a different direction this time.
But it was no use.
pop! pop! As he does so, explosions continue to explode in front of his nose.
“Damn it!”
In the end, Pungbitgaram shouted and gave up on running away.
Seoldaun smiled when he saw Pungbitgaram who had returned to his human form.
“You chose well. If you tried to run away one more time, I was going to kill you this time. “Like this.”
Seoldown stretched out his hand towards the large old tree on the far right.
OK,
Quaaaang!
With a roar, an explosion bigger than ever occurred centered around the old tree.
“!!”
Pungbitgaram opened his eyes wide.
I wasn’t surprised by the scope of the explosion. It was because of what happened after that.
After the explosion cleared, a huge firestorm was spinning around the old tree in a wide area.
‘Was he someone capable of using fire skills on that scale?!’
Seoldaun’s voice was heard again in the ears of Pungbitgaram, who had an expression of disbelief on his face.
“Or something like this?”
As soon as the voice ended, the nature of the firestorm suddenly changed.

In an instant, the color changed from red to blue, and the hot energy felt on Poongbitgaram’s skin disappeared in an instant.
A bitterly cold feeling felt at the same time… .
‘No way, it’s an ice storm…’ ?’
Pungbitgaram unconsciously opened his mouth wide at the sight of the huge ice storm that instantly froze the burning old tree.
It’s a state that would astonish even a simple flame-capable person, but they can even convert mana into ice?
“There’s this too!”
Seoldown shouted again. OK,
Qarring!
Suddenly, lightning fell from the sky with a loud noise.
When the area around the old tree struck by lightning was covered with strong static electricity,
Rumbling… !
Suddenly, the ground, which had been shaking violently, began to split into left and right sides.
The sight of the old tree falling endlessly through the crack was clearly visible to Pungbitgaram, whose eyes were wide open.
‘Oh, no…’ .’
To Pungbitgaram, who was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth,
“Now, if you’re going to run away again, choose! “How will you meet your end?”
Seoldaun said that with a calm expression. Even though he used his huge ability four times in a row, it was as if it wasn’t difficult at all.
In Pungbitgaram’s eyes, Seoldaun no longer looked like a human being.
‘What kind of talent does this guy have?!’
It was Pungbitgaram who felt like screaming and asking a question like this right now.
* * *
– omg
– ??????
– ㅁㅊ
– What did I see?
– Is there a human being on earth who can use fire, ice, lightning, and earthquakes all at once?
– Isn’t that too much of a joke? thief
[no… ! Can you believe it?! Seoldown used four different elemental attacks at once!]
[her… Is this an ability that can be demonstrated by just one person? ?]
[Has there ever been a time in the history of Colosseum Survival where one person used such a variety of elemental attacks?]
[It did exist. However, there has never been anyone who has used a skill that sweeps over a wide area so effortlessly.]
[Oh, I see!]
“and… !”
“Have you been hiding that ability until now?”
“That’s right. “Didn’t you only use explosive attacks to deal with the participants before?”
“It did. “Because that skill alone killed them all.”
“This must be dangerous for Kim Jin-seong too… ?”
The chat window, commentators, and even the monitor room staff were all surprised and showed similar reactions.
However, Jang Seung-wook and Baek Jun’s reactions were slightly different.
“… My prediction was wrong. “I think the CEO is right this time too.”
Baekjun smiled slightly at Jang Seungwook’s words.
Instead of answering, he thought to himself.
‘Now it’s clear. Seoldown is a person with the ability to control the mana around him.’
I had a gut feeling when I saw a scene where someone’s body exploded without even lifting a finger.
However, since I knew of several other abilities that could attack in a similar way, I refrained from making any conclusions.
Only after seeing the elemental range attack skill used at will just now did Baek Jun become convinced that his prediction was correct.
‘Unless you have mana control abilities, you cannot use various elemental range attack skills like that without spending any effort.’
Aside from that scene, there were quite a few scenes that proved that he was capable of controlling mana.
A hiding ability that is on the same level as ‘Fade’, but in some ways seems even better.
Incredible detection ability to find hidden thieves as soon as they reach the nearby area.
Above all, the scene that became the most controversial was the scene where the opponent’s limbs are blown up without even lifting a finger.
‘It must have been caused by triggering the mana in the other person’s body.’
When he thought that far, Jang Seung-wook asked him.
“If you have a mana control ability, isn’t it good enough to be in the top ten in all seasons?”
Baekjun nodded.
“It’s enough.”
“But why… ?”
Jang Seung-wook stares at me, his voice trailing off.
Baekjun understood the meaning of his question and answered.
“Because Seoldown is a guy with outstanding natural ability.”
“… “I agree.”
The fact that Seol-daun had never visited the training room came into Jang Seung-wook’s mind once again.
“Still, just looking at the ability alone, it seems like a disaster itself to ordinary participants.”
In response to Jang Seung-wook’s continued words, Baek Jun did not respond this time but stared at the monitor.
* * *
“Why on earth are you attacking me?”
Pungbitgaram, who had given up on running away, looked at Seoldaun with resentful eyes and asked.
“All of the taggers, including you, have already passed the preliminary round, right? “Then it doesn’t matter if you don’t have to hunt the remaining thieves, right?”
To Pungbitgaram’s follow-up question, which explained logically, Seoldaun gave a short answer.
“It’s my heart?”
“… … !”
“What does it matter whether I pass the preliminaries or not? “I keep wanting to beat up thieves.”
At those words, Pungbitgaram’s expression changed into a dumbfounded expression.
“You’re crazy about murder, this.”
“Fuha! What do you mean by the same ‘forced laborer’ status? “Stop talking nonsense and attack me quickly!”
Seoldaun motioned for Pungbitgaram to come.
“Do your best and make me have fun! “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
“This bastard… !”
Pungbitgaram reacted angrily to the provocation, which almost seemed like it was being treated like a toy.
However, it was only like that on the outside, and on the inside, he was calmly looking for a way to overcome the current situation.
‘I guess I’ll have to trap him in the smoke magic circle and then run away. ‘I can’t think of any other way to escape.’
This is a situation where it is already impossible to escape using normal methods. However, you can’t fight against that monster that freely uses elemental range attacks.
After making up his mind, Pungbitgaram raised all the mana in his body and immediately used the smoke magic circle skill.
Smoke instantly covered the surroundings, and Seoldown was soon trapped in a place that resembled a huge cloud.
“Wow, it’s a magic circle?”
Seoldaun, who was actually trapped, was looking around with an expression of interest.
It was then.
Qarring!
With a roar, numerous thunderbolts generated within the magic circle all hit Seoldaun’s body.
At the same time, a small piece of smoke the size of an adult’s fist began to fly at high speed outside the smoke magic circle.
After attacking Seoldown with his lightning ability, it was Pungbitgaram running away without even looking back.
but… .
‘… uh? ‘Huh?’
Pungbitgaram was greatly taken aback by the tremendous suction power he suddenly felt behind his back.
The suction power was so strong that even though I tried with all my might to fly to the other side, instead of moving away from Seoldown, I was being pulled closer and closer.
“It’s not a bad ability. But… .”
Seoldown continued speaking while sucking in all the smoke around him with his raised right palm.
Even though it had been struck by so many lightning bolts, not even a single hair seemed to be damaged.
“Isn’t the magic circle ultimately made from mana? “Then it will be of no use to me.”
By the time he finished speaking, all the smoke around him had been sucked into the palm of his hand and was hovering like a large gray bead.
Inside it was also the body of Pungbitgaram, which tried to escape by transforming into smoke.
‘no! ‘I can’t go outside!’
Pungbitgaram struggled to somehow escape from Seoldaun’s palm, but it was no use.
It was then.
Quaaaang!
The lumped smoke ball exploded with a loud noise.
at the same time,
“Aaaah!!”
With a scream, Seoldaun saw the sight of Pungbitgaram, covered in blood, collapsing before his eyes.
Afterwards, Seoldaun looked down at him with a sad expression as he wriggled his limbs in pain as his whole body burned.
“Still, I expected it to be a decent name, but it wasn’t anything special. “Ah, that’s boring.”
Seoldaun muttered as if it was not fun and slowly extended one hand towards him to finish the Pungbitgaram.
Just before he used his mana explosion ability.
“… uh?!”
Suddenly, Seol-daun looked to the far left with a bright expression.
From there, numerous black arrows were flying towards the direction where Seoldaun was standing.
The arrow flew past Seoldown.
Puff poop!
The black arrow went straight into Poongbitgaram’s entire body.
Like a hedgehog, Pungbitgaram, hit by an arrow, did not move at all.
But Seoldaun’s interest had already left him for a long time.
“I was waiting for you, Jinseong Kim!”
He looked at Kim Jin-seong slowly approaching from afar, grinned, and shouted.
