Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 43

16. Sun Festival (3)

Thanks to Cha Eun-seol, who showed skills beyond the level, the 6th Dawning Team exceeded their initial expectations and advanced to the semi-finals.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go beyond that.

Cha Eun-seol’s low performance was not able to withstand repeated matches and was exhausted. The opponent was strong enough to survive until the semi-finals, so it was not enough to deal with just the skills of an ordinary hunter.

Still, everyone was satisfied with the results beyond expectations. Cha Eun-seol, who confirmed the synergy with martial arts in practice, was also a very satisfactory result.

That day passed, and Saturday without a match was spent looking around like Thursday.

Finally it was Sunday.

The biggest main event of the Taeyang Festival, where tens of thousands of civilians as well as hunters come for intuition.

The battle begins at 3pm.

About 30 minutes before the match, the guild leader and the assistant guild leader visited the players waiting room.

“Unfortunately, director Seo Kang-jin suddenly went into a mysterious hiding place and almost had a hole in the power supply, but I was fortunate to be able to find a replacement manpower.”

A man with sad eyes, who looked to be in his mid-30s, opened his mouth.

For some reason, I had the impression that he would be more suited to a service job than a hunter, but he is Junho Jeon, the leader of the Guild of Dawning.

“Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon.”

“Yes.”

“I got you to participate after receiving an active recommendation from the deputy guild leader, but it is true that I am a little anxious. There is no one who knows your skills other than the deputy chief.”

“I understand.”

Cha Shin Hyeon calmly responded to Junho’s words.

“But the deputy chief has never said anything nonsense, so I believe. But there is no need to be too burdened.”

“In exchange for going out and making my name known, I promised to take care of at least one win. Don’t worry.”

It was a nuance that it was natural to win, but no one disputed his words.

When it comes to being a high-ranking hunter, he is very proud of himself. He was a problem when he was loud and sloppy, but his self-assured attitude was not the problem.

Lee Ji-hye received her words.

“The order of appearance is Cha Shin Hyeon, 1st, Yoon Seongmin 2nd, and Kwon Ohjeong 3rd. Do all three of you have any objections?”

“There is not.”

The three players unanimously answered.

It was in the order the three of them discussed while meeting an hour before the start of the game and briefly introducing themselves.

To prevent the opposing team from strategizing in advance, the players and their order of appearance are only revealed at the last minute.

Well, yes, the player pool is so narrow, the members were there, and it was enough to change the order or something.

The match format of the Daejeon Battle is a one-on-one match in which the winning side remains and can fight.

In this case, there was a choice of whether to send out the strongest from the beginning or to save the last.

Other players suggested #1 to Cha Shin Hyeon to show their skills first.

It was also his debut, and Cha Shin Hyeon readily agreed, as a win would allow him to face more enemies.

“Then, I wish you good luck.”

Lee Ji-hye, squinting her eyes, left her waiting room.

Jun-ho Jeon, who encouraged her by holding her hand once, followed soon after.

The three of them stopped talking to each other and each fell into their own thoughts.

30 minutes later.

Cha Shin Hyeon headed to the stadium following the guide who came to call her.

* * *

Daejangjeon Stadium resembles a vertically elongated soccer field.

Think of it as two squares with a side of 80 meters attached to each other. The audience surrounds it. A strong magic barrier is installed between the stadium and the audience to prevent damage.

However, unlike a soccer field, the floor is just dirt. The budget breaks too much to protect even the most damaged floors in the course of combat.

Twilight No. 1 player, Ryu Seung-geon, standing in the middle of the square on the twilight side, glanced at the signboard.

A brief profile of both players is printed with photos.

[Cha Shin Hyeon]belonging to the martial arts

Wizard

[Ryu Seung-Gun]

twilight affiliation

Wizard

Ryu Seung-gun’s eyes narrowed gently.

‘You really came out.’

Before the match, Tae-Hoon Park spoke separately.

The Dawning side might send out a completely new hunter. There was no information at all, so they were told to push it as hard as possible and extract a lot of this and that.

‘It’s convenient if it’s the same wizard.’

If he was a warrior, he would have been a little tired. The moment you start, your opponent will rush to close the distance, and you will have to cast magic to block the approach.

If you come through it, it will be an indirect proof that you’re an excellent guy, but it’s a bit lacking in digging up your opponent’s skills. Proximity series is known exactly when adjacent series are attached to each other.

But if you’re a wizard, you don’t have to be so alert and frantic about it. It’s easy to compare skills.

‘The question is whether you are a mage or a sorcerer.’

The higher classes of Wizards are Mage, Sorcerer, and Crafter.

Crafter is a class that is far from fighting, so there is no way to appear in such a contest.

Ryu Seung-gun hoped that his opponent would be Meiji.

Since he himself is also a mage, the match becomes easier to understand if the opponent is also a mage.

[The match will start soon. Players on both sides, please prepare.]

Announcements came from the speakers installed in the stadium. Even the crowded spectator seats gradually quieted down.

[30 seconds before the start of the match!]

Standing 80 meters away, Cha Shin Hyeon, at least on the surface, doesn’t show any signs of impatience. Is he trying to pretend he is calm, or is he saying that he has that much self-confidence?

The announcement counted from 10.

The number decreased by one and reached one.

[The match begins!]

The match started.

Immediately after that, Ryu Seung-geon no longer had to worry about his opponent’s class.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s body slowly began to float into the air.

“Wow!”

The audience cheered.

It was a very conspicuous performance.

‘Was it a sorcerer?’

Ryoo Seung-gun clicked his tongue.

The mage uses the class skill ‘Magic Attribute (Circle)’ to give magic to elemental attributes.

The sorcerer uses the class skill ‘Magic Attribute (Huh)’ to realize the desired phenomenon itself with magic.

At first glance, the sorcerer looks much higher, but in reality it is not.

‘It’s not like it’s the least of the three classes for nothing.’

Imagery of fire, ice, wind, lightning, etc., which can be easily seen in the surroundings, and the vague concept of ‘desired phenomenon’ were different in difficulty.

The more you try to implement something complicated, the higher the probability of failure, and the higher the magical power consumed.

And honestly, such a difficult process for killing monsters is meaningless. Simply burn it to death easily and freeze it with ice to kill it.

So, the sorcerer was a class chosen by people who had a great interest in magic itself and liked to research, or who wanted to create their own uniqueness.

Rather than specialized in catching monsters, they were more like a kind of psychic who specialized only in the field they were digging into.

So it was difficult to deal with.

Because I didn’t know what kind of strange ability to use.

‘The basic universal magic is flying magic and telekinetic magic. However, I can’t even guess what the original skill might have.’

If it’s the same mage, you just have to hit it by force versus force.

Although it was regrettable, Ryu Seung-geon raised his magic.

The first is exploration.

He swung his hand, raising six ice spears lightly around his body. Ice flew towards the sky.

Cha Shin Hyeon stretched his hand forward.

The magical energy that flowed in a whirlwind around his body built up a large wall 5 meters in front of him.

Perhaps the color was given on purpose, as if looking at a glass plate lit by sunlight, it is translucent and intermittently shines in an iridescent light.

Tutu!

The wall and window collided, making a dull sound.

‘Ugh.’

When the magic was blocked so easily, Ryu Seung-geon’s eyebrows twitched.

Is it enough to defend against that much physical power? then.

Fall out!

Lightning bolts in the shape of a sword were condensed above his head. As you concentrate your magic power, the size of the sword grows bigger and bigger.

The lightning sword, which had grown to more than 3 meters, exploded into the sky at some point. In the eyes of the audience, it could only be seen that the blue lightning left a tail.

Cha Shin Hyeon just reinforced the wall by pouring more of his magic power than before.

Quazy Jijik!

A loud noise rang out. Electricity splattered in all directions, and there was a bloody fire.

It was just there.

If Cha Shin Hyeon was close to the wall, he was 5 meters away. The lightning could not penetrate the wall, and only the surrounding area burned loudly and disappeared.

‘Is this guy?’

When even the second attack was blocked, Ryu Seung-geon’s face was distorted.

For a sorcerer, I wanted to use a really boring magic, but the defense of the wall was beyond my imagination. It was completely different from the normal magic shield.

Ryoo Seung-geon, who had a bad feeling that he would somehow break through, took it seriously.

Ice and lightning were just a taste.

The element he specializes in is fire.

The magical energy of the whole body was converted into flames and soared upward. Flames wrapped around Ryu Seung-geon’s body and rotated round and round, eventually creating the shape of a dragon.

Origin Skill, Fire Dragon.

A dragon made of flames roared and ascended to heaven.

“Hoo.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was watching, raised a slightly admiring voice.

As he gestures, the shape of the wall curves into a round shape. The wall, which has been transformed into a hollow hemisphere (半球), inflated as if enclosing the inner Cha Shin Hyeon.

The fire dragon rushed forward.

Aww!

The sound of collision with the wall is unusual.

Unlike before, the wall shook unsteadily. The momentum of the pushing fire dragon was very strong.

However, the wall that was continuously supplied with magic power from Cha Shin Hyeon did not collapse even though it trembled.

“Can you stand it?”

Ryoo Seung-geon, who was hurt as his pride was hurt, drew his additional magical powers. Countless fireballs formed around his body.

Soon, more than 100 fireballs were shot at Cha Shin Hyeon. In the front, the fire dragon was pushing, and the other direction was to beat it with numbers.

Seeing this, Cha Shin Hyeon laughed.

When the magical power was applied again, the hemispherical defense wall took on the form of a perfect sphere, enclosing Cha Shin Hyeon tightly.

The moment when the fireballs rushing over it were about to attack at once.

Cha Shin Hyeon changed the nature of his magical powers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

A sudden repulsive force deflected Ryu Seung-geon’s magic in all directions.

“What, what?!”

Fireworks explode in vain in the air.At this distance, the fired magic was still within the control range. However, the sudden powerful force caused the magic to bounce, and they collided with each other without any time to control.

Even the Fire Dragon was momentarily bounced off and collided with another magic, losing quite a bit of momentum.

Ryoo Seung-geon made a belated effort, but he had already suffered a significant loss. He was afraid of breaking through the defensive wall even with all his might, but he did not hesitate to enter after seeing the damage.

In the end, all magic returned to nothing.

Cha Shin Hyeon still flew towards Ryu Seung-geon with the barrier still on.

He wasn’t in a hurry either. It was as slow as a cruise.

“this… … this······.”

Even the expression on his smiling face was reflected as if he was taking medicine.

Ryoo Seung-geon was furious and his body trembled.

There was no such blatant disgrace that a wizard could not control his magic.

He had a fiery temperament from the beginning, and it was said that he was good at fire magic. He lost half of his reason at the thought that he had been fooled by an unheard of bastard.

“You bastard!”

Ryoo Seung-geon gathered up his magical powers as he was there.

I didn’t think about the next day. If he didn’t burn him to death now, he was about to burn himself with the vase.

The magic that responded to the owner’s feelings burned like mad. Its firepower is several times stronger than when it created the Dragon of Flame.

The magic of flames splashes in all directions as if it’s a little out of control. Flames soared dozens of meters into the air, and the soil melted.

The strongest skill he has.

An origin skill that was created by constantly rolling his head, thinking that even the Fire Dragon Jingun was not strong enough.

Ten Fire Dragons.

Ten fire dragons manifested by burning the heavens and the earth.

“die!”

East, West, South, North, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, Top, Bottom.

Fireworks occupying all ten rooms surrounded Cha Shin Hyeon. The burning momentum was so strong that the audience couldn’t see Cha Shin Hyeon because of the flames.

“Hey, isn’t that going to burn to death?”

Those words came out from the audience.

The glamor is over, but it was an ignorant attack that worried about the life or death of Cha Shin Hyeon, who was trapped inside.

However, Cha Shin Hyeon inside the defensive wall was calm.

He didn’t even think of avoiding it.

Papa Pat!

The magic remaining even after putting on the defensive wall spread out through the gaps of the fire dragons that attacked.

Ryu Seung-gun saw it too.

‘What else are you going to do?’

That moment.

Whoa!

A tremendous weight pressed down on Ryu Seung-geon’s shoulder.

“100 million?!”

His knee was bruised. It was not voluntary. The pressure from above was so strong that he couldn’t stand it.

Ryu Seung-gun was not the only one affected.

The ten fire dragons, which had the momentum to turn Cha Shin Hyeon to ashes, were also being crushed from above.

Fire is not real and cannot be pressed by pressing.

However, a fire dragon is a being made up of the magic of flames. The magic itself that made up the Fire Dragon was being forced to fall under the influence of the force pressing from above.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had been surrounded by the fire dragons, was revealed.

He couldn’t even look into those eyes that looked down indifferently.

It was because of Ryu Seung-geon’s waist and neck, who could not overcome his strength. His knees were completely bent and he finally touched the ground.

“Beautiful, crazy…….”

The feeling of humiliation is not the problem, but the magic that the opponent is dealing with, feeling even embarrassed, Ryu Seung-geon bit his lip until it bleeds.

“You’re dealing with gravity…?!”
