Chapter 235
Chapter 235
A little while ago.
Yoon Sae-ah, who stood at the front with Akari, fought fiercely, knocking down dozens of people.
"Gotcha!"
In the end, they gave way.
"Kill!"
The Japanese players, with angry faces, drew their weapons.
Although Akari fought bravely, she couldn't stop all the approaching players.
Swish!
A sharp blade extended towards Yoon Sae-ah.
But.
Swoosh.
"Hello~"
Yoon Sae-ah stuck out her tongue and entered the void of emptiness.
The blade only cut through empty air.
"What...?"
And then, an arrow suddenly came out of thin air.
Ping!
The arrow bounced off, piercing a Japanese warrior.
While Sung JiHan disappeared and it seemed like they lost the first set.
When Yoon Sae-ah, who joined the national team for the first time today, showed unexpected performance.
The reactions of viewers from both countries were drastically different.
- Sung JiHan disappeared, why...!
- Japanese warriors, what are they doing! Can't they catch just one girl who made her debut this time?
- No, we have to win the first set!
- Are they going to waste the opportunity Mizuhara created...?
As the game, which they thought they had won when Sung JiHan disappeared, became unpredictable, Japanese viewers who had held onto hope screamed.
- Yoon Sae-ah was this good of a player?
- Wow, seriously... this game is so messed up lol
- What's that? Can even dodge attacks from a national team-level player?
- This is ridiculous!
Korean viewers, who had given up when they lost the first game, were ecstatic when the divine Yoon Sae-ah appeared in the national team.
And as the Japanese national team, who couldn't suppress Yoon Sae-ah and saw their numerical advantage gradually diminish.
Swoosh...
When Sung JiHan appeared from thin air, they wore expressions of despair.
"S-Sung JiHan... has returned!"
"Mizuhara..."
"Gone... subdued?"
"D-Damn it...! We should have finished before they arrived!"
"L-Let's retreat. For now!"
When Sung JiHan appeared, the Japanese national team started to take steps back.
In line with Southgate's original purpose, they prepared to switch to a defensive stance and retreat, but...
"Se-ah. If I wipe them all out, will the MVP go to me?"
"Ah, Uncle. That's a bit... It's my niece's debut match, so please give me the MVP once."
"Hmm..."
Sung JiHan stroked his chin and extended his sword towards the enemies.
Hunwon Divine Skill
Amnyeong Divine Secret Technique
Amhon Wayu Dark Soul Whirlpool
The shadow sword quickly transformed into a giant whirlpool.
"Oh...!"
"That, it's a black whirlpool!"
"If you get sucked in, you'll die...!"
Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full nuance or cultural context of the original text.
"Resist in any way possible!"
The Japanese players who were retreating began to be drawn in.
The Japanese players did their best to not get sucked into the vortex.
But they were floating in the air, unable to resist the strong suction force.
However, the Amhun Wave, which had a slower suction speed than usual.
That was because Sung JiHan had adjusted his power.
"Then, before you get sucked in here, try to eliminate more."
"Oh, you're giving us a chance? Got it!"
To win the MVP in her debut match, Yoon Se-ah vigorously shot her arrows.
Pick! Pick!
One by one, the Japanese players were getting holes in their bodies.
It was difficult to block the arrows while being sucked into the Amhun Wave.
Warriors and a few defenders allowed the attacks to hit them directly, while supporters and mages did the same.
"With this, I'll win the MVP."
Sung JiHan counted the number of warrior players.
Whooosh!
He increased the suction force of the Amhun Wave even more.
Then, the Japanese players who were gradually being sucked in were all swept away in the whirlpool.
They were instantly eliminated.
=Sung JiHan! He finishes the game in one go as soon as he returns!
=Did Sung JiHan adjust his power for a moment to give Yoon Se-ah the MVP?
=Actually, thanks to Yoon Se-ah buying time, we won, so it seemed like the MVP would go to her anyway...
=But still, he bought us some time just in case!
Sung JiHan, who showed overwhelming performance in the Space League.
Although he was sealed by the sudden appearance of the Japanese players and couldn't use his power for a while.
When he started to actively contribute, the first set ended too quickly.
=The MVP of the first match is...
=Ah. It's Yoon Se-ah, as expected!
=She defended the game that was leaning heavily in our favor along with Akari!
=Once again, a new sacred player appears in the Korean national team!
Yoon Se-ah received the MVP for the first set.
Although Sung JiHan later racked up kills for her.
Based on the previous records alone, she was more than qualified to be the MVP.
-Wow... Yoon Se-ah is really amazing; the archer blocking the warrior's charge at the front, lol.
-Why are all the players from that side like that?? Did they take some kind of drug?
-Compared to a year ago, the national team lineup has gone crazy, lol.
-Hey, back then, we were in last place until Sung JiHan appeared, lol.
-For real... I even thought about immigrating back then.
Since 2021.
With the addition of Geomwang and the emergence of the sacred player Yoon Se-ah, the Korean national team's strength has greatly increased.
In contrast, the atmosphere on the Japanese side, which had no significant reinforcements, was gloomy.
-The opportunity Mizuhara created...
-Well, but we can still win! Ban Sung JiHan and seal Geomwang with Mizuhara!
-Then what about Yoon Se-ah? We lost the first set because of her, right?
-Ah... I guess Korea can't be beaten after all.
-Unless we pick the supporter map, it's impossible...
The trump card shown by Russia in the match against Korea.
The Golem Duel, where the outcome is determined solely by the supporting abilities of the supporters.
Here, even someone as monstrous as Sung JiHan won't be able to dominate the game.
=The Japanese coach bans Sung JiHan and selects the Golem Duel map!
=As expected... The first match was unusual! Since Japan is clearly superior in terms of supporter power, this is practically their only winning formula.
=From the side of Director No Young-jun, they bring out the same Southgate map as the first game...
=Ah... I see. Japan's choice, the Golem Duel map has been chosen!
And...
When the Japanese coach got the Golem Duel map he wanted, Director No Young-jun frowned.
"This... seems like this map is always the problem."
The Supporter map, Golem Duel.
This map, where the outcome is determined by the duel between golems, only allows players to give buffs and heals to the golems.
They couldn't interfere in the battle at all.
A map that the All-Class Sung JiHan couldn't use his power on, almost the only one,
Since Russia enjoyed it during the Russia match.
Every country facing Korea had been bringing out this map as a priority.
And...
=Ah...
=As expected, the Golem Duel map is difficult...!
=Japan's golem. It's clearly putting pressure on our golem...!
The Korean national team couldn't narrow the gap in supporter power, which was evaluated as a disadvantage.
In the end, they lost.
-Oh, that map is really funny lol
-Sung JiHan can't come out in the Golem Duel?
-It's useless even if he does come out because he doesn't have support abilities
-That's the only Sung JiHan counter map lol
-Ah... Since it turned out like this, Sung JiHan. Annoy Sofia! Naturalize her!
-There's a plan lol
-We allow two legs!
Because of the Golem Duel, even when they lost two games,
The Korean viewers' reaction was like, "Ah, what bad luck, bring Sofia!"
=Uh... Uh...
=Even the third game, it's the Golem Duel map again!
When the Golem Duel map was chosen for the third game,
The atmosphere became uneasy.
-Wait... Is this statistically possible...?
-The probability of the map being chosen from the select cards is 70 percent. So, the probability for each country is 35 percent, so it's possible...
-Two consecutive times is a 12 percent probability lol
-Then what's the probability of the Golem Duel happening again here?
-If you multiply 35 percent by 3, it's 4 percent lol
-Ah, f***, it won't happen, right?
With the Japanese coach's skilled card drawing,
Director No Young-jun also responded by banning Japan's top supporter, Sakura.
=Ah... We will also lose the third game.
=I wondered if we could win since Sakura was banned...
=Our supporter power is still lacking compared to Japan!
They lost the third game as well, with the same result as the second game.
"Ah, uncle... Sofia wants to come to Korea, should we actively promote her naturalization?"
"It's fine. What should we naturalize?"
"But, if we keep getting the Golem Duel three times in a row, it's over, right?"
"Surely the probability won't be that high?"
"It would have been good if Jia was here..."
Sung JiHan, who showed outstanding abilities as a supporter,
If she had been on the national team, they wouldn't have been attacked so one-sidedly like this.
The Sung JiHan party, who couldn't participate in the two games, just silently watched the screen.
=The Japanese coach. He gets two wins first and has a relaxed expression!
=In contrast, Director No Young-jun's hand, picking cards, is shaking slightly.
Ah, the Japanese coach! You brought up the Golem Duel again! You're persistent!
No, even so, the Golem Duel three times in a row... It won't be chosen, right?
It's a 4% chance!
We just need to avoid it for four matches! In the fifth match, there won't be any ban or select cards!
And then the map for the fourth match was chosen.
Ah...!
The fortunes of the two coaches crossed paths.
---
The next day, at the Sword Palace penthouse.
"South Korea! A hard-fought victory over Japan, 3:2!"
"South Korea dominated in the Golem Duel map! Weaknesses were exposed."
"The only match where Sung JiHan didn't appear, the Golem Duel map. How can we prepare for it?"
"I really thought I would embarrassingly lose my debut match."
Yoon Sae-ah sighed deeply while reading the news article, relieved.
More than when facing the Japanese warriors.
She was a hundred times more nervous when the Japanese coach drew cards.
- Wow, I almost made a 1% profit and lost everything...
- Gambling really shouldn't be done, seriously.
- I was so nervous when drawing cards that I turned off the TV, lol.
- How can you not do well in the Golem Duel map? I really want to ban the map, seriously.
It seemed that many people's hearts were pounding due to the Japanese coach's inspired card drawing.
Everyone was talking incessantly about the Golem Duel map.
"The Japanese people are criticizing the coach for not bringing out the Golem Duel map from the first match."
"Two consecutive matches were enough. They have a lot of expectations."
"That's right, uncle. Ah~ but because of the Golem Duel, my debut match article got buried!"
"It's not completely gone, is it?"
Sung JiHan showed Yoon Sae-ah, who was disappointed, the headline that appeared on the portal site's main page, using his finger.
"MVP of the first match, Yoon Sae-ah, successfully completes her debut!"
"MVP of the first match, Yoon Sae-ah. MVP of the fourth match, Yoon Se-jin. MVP of the fifth match, Sung JiHan. The family takes turns winning MVP."
"The series MVP goes to Sung JiHan..."
Since Yoon Sae-ah's performance in the Korea-Japan match was impressive, there were quite a few articles about her.
"Ugh... But it feels like the Golem Duel stole the spotlight."
She wasn't satisfied with this amount of articles.
"That can't be helped. The game almost slipped away. Blame the Japanese coach's card drawing skills."
"It won't work. Uncle. Let's bring Sophia. With Sophia, the Korean national team can win the championship."
"Enough. Enough. What should we bring?"
"Well, even so... With Sophia, we can definitely win the championship!"
Yoon Sae-ah changed her tone as if she was disappointed.
"Even without her, we can win."
Sung JiHan shook his hand, saying it's enough.
"Well, there is a surefire card to win the championship..."
At Sung JiHan's firm refusal, Yoon Sae-ah said with a disappointed expression.
Buzz buzz.
She widened her eyes when she saw her phone vibrating.
"Oh? Uncle, Sophia has arrived in Korea?"
"...Why?"
"Uncle, something urgent came up. It's really urgent, related to the saint."
Something urgent... Related to the saint. Is there something like that?
"Alright. Then come over here."
"Okay! I'll tell her that."
With that, Yoon Sae-ah immediately called Sophia from her current location.
