Returner of the Colosseum

＜ Episode 95. A step forward (4) ＞

‘It’s quite the way.’

Peanut El was deeply impressed.

An Woo-jin’s strength and agility stats are around 110.

I knew that he was armed with various skills and items that increased his stats through his matches, but even so, it would be a little over 150.

On the other hand, his stats are in the early 200s.

In the first place, the fact that Ahn Woo-jin was holding out against him made no sense.

‘Your senses are very sharp.’

Nevertheless, An Woo-jin was persistently holding out against himself.

Especially low reflexes.

The moment he bent his upper body a little to make a dash, An Woo-jin was already taking two steps back.

It feels like you know in advance how to move and act.

‘The style that can be freely changed is also amazing.’

An Woo-jin’s spear seemed to be wielded by a different person every moment.

Sharp yet heavy, sharp yet soft.

To the extent that Peanut L, who has to cut the window and make space, somehow narrows the distance, it is hard to know which beat to match.

‘It’s an electroencephalogram problem.’

Every time the spears meet, the mana made of thunderbolt seeps into him.

That’s why I can’t help but cut through the window that stabs me in.

In short, while fighting An Woo-jin, he had to carry this stinging pain continuously.

Peanut El also tried to block An Woo-jin’s magic from entering the interior using magic, but it was useless.

It just eases the pain a bit.

I knew for sure when I fought with my own weapons.

‘It’s very tricky.’

The player who was compared to Ahn Woo-jin in the previous game… Did you say Teruomi?

His heart was understandable.

Each attack is swung out of the predictable range, it takes damage even if it is blocked, and it does not let go even if you try to get out of this situation somehow.

Perhaps the top players playing in the lower numbering matches should have felt a big wall against An Woo-jin.

I couldn’t see how to break through.

‘I guess there’s no other way than to push with overwhelming stats.’

Peanut-L finished the analysis and from then on started pressing An Woo-jin’s spear with force.

His skills were already impeccable.

‘I need to take this opportunity to let you know that those techniques don’t work against an overwhelmingly strong opponent.’

So there were only two things that Peanut L could do for An Woo-jin.

The experience of fighting against an overwhelming force.

‘To let Ahn Woo-jin, who has never been defeated, experience defeat.’

visor! Kwajijik!

As he hit the spear with all his strength, An Woo-jin’s arm broke abnormally.

Peanut El, who could not come out when fighting an opponent of a similar level, secured space by pressing with force and dug into An Woo-jin’s arms.

The distance that had not been narrowed until now was narrowed to the point where the sword could reach in an instant.

Then, numerous gaps appeared.

‘I’ll have to tell you where the gap was once the sparring is over.’

His purpose is not to defeat An Woo-jin, but to help him grow.

Peanut El, who checked the points where gaps opened when pressed with force, stabbed the sword right away.

Awesome!

“what······!”

In an instant, the left shoulder felt as if it had been burned.

As he dug into his bosom, An Woo-jin, who held the spear briefly, dashed in, hurt his shoulder, and escaped.

The distance between An Woo-jin and Peanut-L opened up again and glanced at his shoulder.

Red blood dripped from the small gap between the shoulder blade and breastplate.

‘What was the movement just now?’

Peanut-L confronted An Woo-jin and reflected on his movements just before.

As soon as he hit the spear, An Woo-jin moved to his left.

The moment he stabbed the sword, he dashed in reverse and attacked his shoulder, which had relatively many loopholes.

Natural movement like flowing water.

‘Is it a coincidence? Or is it intentional?’

So it was more puzzling.

The movement was too fast for what it was intended to be, and too lethal to be a coincidence.

Peanut El raised his sword.

if you’re not sure

‘I have no choice but to check it once again.’

Peanut El again slashed An Woo-jin’s spear and burrowed into his arms.

Awesome!

Then, this time, red blood flowed from the left thigh side.

“…!”

In an instant, I had goosebumps from head to toe.

‘It was an intentional action.’

So far, Ahn Woo-jin.

It was deliberately revealing a loophole and inducing himself to come in.

Peanut El’s movements began to slow down.

I created it by tearing apart a space that obviously didn’t exist.

That place was also a bait to lure him in.

‘Where should I dig?’

Realizing that, the way to penetrate An Woo-jin disappeared.

Whether or not the exposed loophole was a trap that lured him in, Peanut El could not know.

Slowly, the right arm holding the sword began to tingle.

In the beginning, it was the aftermath of being defenseless for too long from a thunderbolt for seeing An Woo-jin’s skills.

There was also a wound on the left shoulder and thigh.

‘under.’

Peanut L smiled bitterly.

I knew it was a monster.

I don’t think it would have been at this level.

visor! Chae Chaeng! Kwajijik! visor! visor!

Since Peanut El couldn’t rush in first, the battle went one-sided from then on.

An Woo-jin started beating himself with ease.

‘Gap!’

In the middle, there were loopholes that were so attractive, but Peanut El only flinched and did not dare to dig into them.

Even if he made a loophole that didn’t exist in the first place and attacked it, he would suffer a loss, but there’s no way that An Woo-jin would just show such a clearly visible loophole.

He must be tempting himself.

‘It’s flawless.’

Peanut El decided to admit it.

The original purpose was to teach you how to fight players with higher stats.

An Woo-jin was already so complete that he didn’t even need to tell him.

flutter!

‘Then I can move on to the next step.’

As the four pairs of wings spread, Peanut El’s body flew up into the sky in an instant.

An Woo-jin has already mastered how to fight players.

From now on, I intended to teach you how to fight winged beings.

“…?”

An Woo-jin, who had been wielding a spear in a trance, had been staring blankly at himself ever since she flew up to the sky.

Since he had risen above the sky, there was nothing he could do.

I don’t know if he even throws a spear.

‘Think, dear. How to fight a being with wings.’

The sky is a refuge where flying beings can rest at any time.

If you ever get into trouble, you can always come here.

So, in order to defeat An Woo-jin, he had to stop him from ascending into the sky.

‘It would be good to experience this in advance.’

At that moment, Peanut El closed its wings and glides at high speed.

Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-ae

The speed was so fast that you could hear the wind bursting.

She rushed at An Woo-jin at that speed and hit a charging attack.

aaang!

When the sword imbued with tremendous speed and magical power was pierced into the ground, the ground was dug up with a roar.

“crazy······!”

It was so powerful that An Woo-jin, who fled his body to avoid her attack, unknowingly spat out curse words.

From noble mtl dot com

Just like that, she flew up into the sky again.

Someday, there will be a moment when An Woo-jin will have to fight the beings with wings.

‘Feel it properly.’

It was intended to clearly imprint the fear of beings flying in the sky.

I love you! Kwaaang! flutter! flutter! I love you! aaang!

From then on, the one-sided battle began again.

If Peanut L puts a charging attack after going downhill, An Woo-jin was busy avoiding it.

Even under such circumstances, An Woo-jin never felt impatient.

Instead of recklessly taking his attacks, he was constantly looking for opportunities.

‘I know that going to a long battle is to my advantage.’

After stopping the attack for a while, Peanut L floated in the air and organized the feedback to inform An Woo-jin.

At this rate, the one who loses health first is at a disadvantage.

Although An Woo-jin looked quite tired right now, if the battle continued like this, he would eventually fall out first.

Unlike An Woo-jin, who only needs to dodge an attack by throwing herself, she flies up and launches a charging attack.

Of course, Peanut El’s stamina was consumed more severely.

‘Thanks to my reflexes, I’ll be able to deal with charging attacks well in the future.’

Peanut L decided to move on to the next step.

that’s right

To engage in close combat while flying.

The moment he flew in the sky, the range that An Woo-jin had to cover expanded from the front to the top of his head.

No matter how much he boasts of an impregnable defense, it will not be easy to defend the unfamiliar overhead.

flutter! flutter!

visor! Chae Chaeng! visor! visor! Kwajijik!

The four pairs of giant wings raised dust, and sparks flew whenever the sword and spear collided.

Even though they were pouring attacks from top to bottom, An Woo-jin was calmly blocking it well.

‘Do you have any experience in aerial combat? Or is it just good sense?’

Then, in the middle of the attack, he looked at his wings with strange eyes.

It seemed to want to deal with the wings first.

‘It’s not a good way to attack with the wings first.’

Peanut L saw right through An Woo-jin’s strategy.

No, in a way, it was a very natural thought.

If you want to get rid of the benefits of wings, everyone will want to deal with them first.

But flying beings must have been through that situation countless times.

It’s obvious that you know how to protect your wings.

visor! visor! visor! visor! Chae Chaeng!

“Huh!”

For a while, there was only the sound of fighting spirits and the clashing of each other’s weapons.

‘I’m too cautious.’

An Woo-jin never overdoed it.

From noble mtl dot com

Just silently waiting for an opportunity to arise and concentrating on defense.

Despite the fact that he could be impatient because of his gradually decreasing physical strength.

‘When I need to be bold, I’ll have to tell him to move more clearly.’

As the battle progressed, the weight of the match would eventually tilt in her favor.

visor! Chae Chaeng! visor!

As they continued to push for a while, An Woo-jin became desperate.

In order to somehow change the tilting battle situation, he desperately swung his spear.

But it was futile.

Because An Woo-jin had already lost too much for that.

“…!”

An Woo-jin, who was blocking Peanut-L’s sword, staggered for a moment.

His pupils dilated rapidly.

A biological response when startled.

‘It ends like this after all.’

Without missing the gap, Peanut L instantly dug into An Woo-jin.

Rather than explaining in words, experiencing it with your own body will give you a clearer lesson.

It was then.

“…?”

what.

where did you go

‘no way······!’

Peanut El quickly turned his back.

Then, the image of An Woo-jin wielding a spear came into view.

For a moment, my whole body stiffened.

I thought it was a sure opportunity, but even that was a trap.

‘skill!’

An Woo-jin was not too cautious and missed the timing.

However, I was just waiting for a clearer opportunity.

As a result, she was now perfectly cornered.

Peanut L made a bold decision.

It was already too late to hit the spear with a sword.

Even the vital part is blocked.

He had to avoid fatal injuries somehow.

Awesome!

Along with the creepy creaking sound, I felt a burning pain in my left shoulder.

Because the four fluttering wings were cut off, Peanut El had to land on the floor as if falling over.

‘That was the purpose from the beginning…!’

From the start, it was clear that An Woo-jin knew that he would only block vital parts.

That’s why I aimed for the wing without even thinking about attacking that way.

‘under. It’s absurd.’

Even though it must be the first time fighting an angel.

He already knew how to fight.

An Woo-jin did not need teaching from the beginning.

‘It’s really amazing.’

In An Woo-jin’s eyes, there was no shaking.

I could feel his tenacity not to miss even the slightest movement in his wide-eyed eyes.

Even though it’s only sparring, it means that they are fighting to die.

An Woo-jin was literally fighting using everything he had.

“I have nothing to tell you.”

So I couldn’t help but admire it even more.

Skill is skill. Effort if effort. If you’re obsessive, you’re obsessive.

Because there was nothing missing.

“But you’ll have to be really careful from now on.”

On the farm, he is a mental support who gains absolute support from the players with his charisma, strength, and perfect self-management.

In the arena, it presents a nightmare to the opponent with a fighter-like appearance.

To this great player, in the first place, he had nothing to tell.

just.

“From now on, I will use the authority.”

The experience of fighting against the strong.

It’s only one.

“Let’s deal with this too.”

[Activate ＜The Power of the Island Demon Angel＞.]

So Peanut El decided to show him all of himself.

Because that was the best I could do for An Woo-jin.

It will be a real fight from now on.
