Chapter 89
Episode 89. Clan Wars (8)
King of Fist.
The first virtual reality game that implemented ‘another reality’.
Many people were saddened by the success of Dantalian and the indicators Dantalian produced.
Ah, if King of Fist was an RPG game.
No, if it wasn’t for fighting games.
If only the barriers to entry were a little lower.
Now this record would have belonged to the King of Fist, not Dantalian.
To that extent, the technology that the King of Fist first showed in front of mankind was fantastic and shocking.
It has reached the point where it is now being evaluated as being slightly behind, but at the time of overwhelmingly developing and introducing VR technology, which was still in its rudimentary stage, the King of Fist had a bigger impact than Dantalian.
However, King of Fist did not solve the structural problems of fighting games.
As the game progressed to a higher level, the game demanded overwhelmingly perfect operation from the user.
As the game goes on for a long time, there is inevitably a ‘dead figure’.
The ‘old figure’ of the fighting game, and the ‘old figure’ of the King of Fist, which was overwhelmingly popular on a global level, created an overwhelming barrier to entry.
However, King of Fist did not try to lower the entry barrier.
Rather, it was patched to a more difficult, splendid, and elaborate skill set.
In other words, it aims to be the world’s most difficult game on the world’s most popular subject.
If you can use all the skills of one character in The King of Fist, you are in the top 1% of humanity. And if you can use 100% of a character’s performance, you can enter the ranker ranks.
If ‘talent’ is added there, you can make a name for yourself as a King of Fist player.
But you don’t have to like it.
‘Because you’re a talented enough to do anything.’
Let’s live it like a maxim.
There was even a proverb among gamers about how high the level game companies demanded from users.
In fact, the rankers competing for the top spot in the King of Fist each had their own unique territory.
Yao Ming, 5th in the King of Fist rankings.
An overwhelming attack-oriented talent that uses only offensive techniques from the beginning of the game to the end.
Yun Sang-hyeok is ranked 4th.
The talent of understanding to establish a ‘pattern’ that structurally gains benefits in all situations and to perform the theoretical play directly with the body.
Number 3 Julia Turner.
A mind-reading level that never loses in an easy-to-choose situation.
2nd place Isaac Akinfef.
Reaction speed to ‘see and block’ all attacks.
In particular, Julia and Isaac were talented enough to be flagged by experts, saying that they were skills at a level that modern science could not explain.
If so, rank #1.
What kind of talent does Yoon Taeyang have?
That was the ‘omniscient download’.
As soon as the fight started, Taeyang started analyzing his opponent and finished it before one round had passed.
Anything the sun could observe was subject to download.
The pattern of new pattern Yoon Sang-hyeok was completely destroyed in one round (1 minute).
Even with a complete attack, Yao Ming’s fists and kicks were enough to take three hits.
Julia Turner’s readings would work for about two rounds before becoming useless.
The only talent that could not be fully destroyed was Akinfef’s ‘see and block’ reaction speed, and that was the reason Isaac was able to rank second.
And such a sun battled for about 5 minutes and observed the cloud dragon.
5 minutes.
It was an overflowing time to download.
Storm Bringer: Summon Storm.
[The storm spirit lord, Arasil, strikes the body of player Taeyang Yoon. (Duration: 60 seconds)]
“Let’s finish it soon.”
Woo woo woo.
A powerful wind nestled in the body of the sun.
The cloud dragon, feeling that it was unusual, stretched out its spear.
Act of Justice 1 Meal – Tongcheon.
Cuckoo!
The cloud dragon’s spear, tricked by the sun’s shoulder fake, hits the empty air.
The cloud dragon’s face twisted slightly.
‘what?’
Realm of intuition, not theory.
The unmanned instinct was ringing the alarm bell.
‘Something has changed. It’s not just about moving faster. what?’
Kwadeuk.
The sun escaped the cloud dragon’s attack and took two steps forward at once.
The spear of the cloud serpent calmly blocked the path of the sun.
Instead of trying to squeeze in, the sun threw its shoulders back.
“Hmm, is this how you do it?”
Quadduk.
Taeyang’s tightly tightened right arm suddenly relaxed and stretched out his fist.
The sun stretched its arms all the way and blended its rotation. At the same time, the cloud dragon’s mana flow was added.
“What are you!”
The cloud dragon’s eyes widened.
Jeonguihaeng 1st meal – Tongcheon: Yun Taeyang-style arrangement.
Quaang.
The fist did not touch, but the blow did.
Tongcheon, embodied as the arm of the sun, hit the cloud dragon’s abdomen.
“Cheuk.”
The sun frowned.
“Ah, this is also mana, and I eat it no joke.”
An unusual pain emanated from his right arm.
In a way, it was an expected outcome.
From the beginning of the duel, Taeyang clearly overused the mana circuit of his right arm.
Taeyang decided not to use his right arm anymore in this game.
“anyway.”
Because the analysis is over.
The cloud dragon’s face twisted mercilessly.
“You bastard!”
Fain!
A blow mixed with emotion for the first time in this battle.
The sun smiled and avoided the spear of the coming cloud dragon.
Stormbringer has about 55 seconds left.
enough to finish
“Is this like this?”
天牢轟步 (天牢轟步): Yun Taeyang-style arrangement.
Kwalung.
With a roar, the sun’s body moved instantaneously.
“And mix it like this.”
Jeonguihaeng 1st meal – Tongcheon: Yun Taeyang-style arrangement.
The tongcheon he threw with his left arm hit the cloud dragon’s body again.
Cuckoo! Pajijijik!
The cloud dragon, which had calculated the route, pulled its body back in the middle of it.
The judgment was surprisingly cold.
Taeyang’s lightning-tinged Tongcheon, which aimed at the entire pelvis, only hit the cloud dragon’s left foot.
“Keugh.”
It was the best choice, but the situation that resulted was clear.
The cloud dragon’s left leg was completely blown off.
A warrior who cannot stand on two feet cannot produce even 50% of his original strength.
Turbuck.
The sun looked down at the fallen cloud serpent.
“Are you going to do more?”
“her.”
only two numbers.
It was also ‘own number’.
‘Was there a mistake?’
There was no
It was the best decision I could make.
lost nonetheless
The cloud dragon laughed.
collapsed.
No, rather than that, it was the laughter of humans who met an irresistible natural disaster.
The sun looked around.
The loud roar subsided in an instant.
The countless spectators were looking at the sun with consistent expressions.
Um maybe surprise?
“It’s better.”
It’s not particularly nice to look at, but it’s still better than having your ears ringing.
***
“Player Taeyang Yoon.”
A sharp hoarse voice, like scratching iron, rang the sun’s eardrums.
It was the demon king Zefar in the form of a soldier wearing old armor.
Jefar held out his hand to the sun.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a player on the 15th floor win a clan war. Ah, was it the first time on the human side? Anyway, congratulations.”
“It was nothing.”
The sun responded naturally and held Jefar’s hand.
[Player Taeyang Yoon (S+) won the duel.]
[The 1st Recruitment Clan War has ended.]
[3000CP will be given to the winner (Player Taeyang Yoon)]
[2000CP will be given to the runner-up (Player Cloud Dragon)]
[ 1000 CP will be given to the finalists (Player Good Luck Player Parker).]
While the system window was sliding down, Zeppard chuckled.
“What is so funny?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a match like this. I like it.”
“You liked it?”
When he was surrendered to Salomon and Myeong-woon in the quarterfinals and semifinals, his face was full of displeasure.
Perhaps he had read the sun’s thoughts, Zefar added.
“It didn’t look very good when I went up after accepting the surrender. The ‘gates’ set up by the clans. It’s hard to see it being broken so desperately.”
“ah.”
Jefar, who giggled for a long time with his characteristic scratching voice, tapped Taeyang on the shoulder and asked.
“Is there anything you want to say to the audience? Raise your voice.”
“Oh yes.”
Asking the winner how he felt was a common practice even in the notorious Dantalian.
Normally, he would just say his impressions of Eoyoung and Booyoung, but Taeyang even prepared his thoughts on winning the championship.
The opportunity to deliver a message to all players of the integrated shelter without much effort did not come easily.
“iced coffee.”
Taeyang grinned when he confirmed that his voice was resonating throughout the audience.
There were familiar faces everywhere in the crowd.
The silver of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Corps, Kain, the Knight Commander of Agrippa, the head of the Astronomy.
Minerva Yuri Maximoff from The Witches.
And the clan leader KDCR and Yoon Taek of ‘Flame’.
“First of all, Astronomy Um… … I’ll apologize. It’s not that I’m such a big fan of that player because I have a lot of regrets.”
At Taeyang’s words, the mouth of the old soldier in uniform shuts tightly.
“But at the beginning of the game I was beaten. Let’s kick it.”
The sun giggled and continued.
“Everyone is probably wondering why I challenged the Clan Wars. To get to the point, I needed proof.”
“Proof.”
Zefar, who was listening next to him, stroked his chin and smiled.
“You know what? My rating is unprecedented. S+. All the players in this room are rated lower than me. So, there is bound to be doubt. Because you guys have never seen what an S+ player is like. So I had to show what kind of person am i At what level?”
As Taeyang’s words continued, the expressions of the players in the audience became more colorful.
Ridiculousness ridicule Envy Jealousy Anger Inferiority Acknowledge Interest.
Taeyang continued, trying to keep the ‘important NPC’ in sight as much as possible.
“I have proved my worth, so to speak. You guys should know for sure by now. Judging from my performance so far, there is no player better than me. right?”
There is no disagreement.
Taeyang proved his worth in front of everyone.
All players in Unified Shelter now face the ability of the sun.
There was no way to get a higher ransom than this.
At least this was the best that was squeezed out of Taeyang and Hyeonhye’s head.
“The treaty prohibiting the recruitment of ‘Flame’ will be resolved in two days. I’m going to have a Decision Show in two days. The place is the Clan House of ‘Flame’.”
There is a commotion all over the audience.
The sun looked at them and spoke.
“And there I will reveal where I will take my talents.”
So, keep your head up for those two days.
What can you give me and what can you do for me.
***
After 2 days.
Yoon-taek entered the office of the clan leader and grumbled.
“You don’t even get cash for doing this, so do you have to live this busy? In the game?”
“Thanks to you, I live comfortably here. I’m honestly satisfied. I think the quality of life here is better than in reality.”
The clan leader, KDCR, looked at the documents and replied.
The papers were about lobbying the Flame Clan to convince the sun.
“Wow, you have serious game addiction. Is this better than reality?”
“You have to be in real life, your wife yelling at you to bring you marijuana and you kids can’t see your face unless you’re drunk. Would reality be better?”
“You take that joke as Tallulah. nothing to say?”
“Tallulah?”
“Ah, that’s okay.”
Yoon Taek shrugged.
KDCR threw the documents he was looking at at Yoon-taek.
widely.
“What is it?”
“Shoot the macro once and come. Give gold.”
“At number 1, martial arts and cards are considered important. blah blah. Is that right?”
“Yeah that.”
“yep.”
“Ah, meet Yoon Taeyang on the way back and make sure you’re preparing well.”
Yoon Taek grumbled in a low voice.
“What am I an errand boy? With me every day… … .”
“Who else but you? Call me Emily? Do you want to work for Emily?”
“no. I will do it.”
bang.
Yoon Taek closed the door and left.
KDCR folded their arms and looked around my office.
Within two days, more than half of the furniture in the office had been replaced, and the other half was due to change soon.
The clan’s equipment warehouse, which had been empty, had reached a point where it needed to be expanded.
“It’s ridiculous.”
It was surprising that all of this was the ripple effect of a single player.
KDCR looked at his watch and took his coat.
The Decision Show is 30 minutes away.
“It’s been a while since I had a good time. Haha.”
KDCR felt deep emotions for the first time in a long time.
It seemed like the first feeling I felt since I was trapped in the game.
The name of that emotion was curiosity.
Which clan the sun will turn to.
What changes will occur in the dimensional labyrinth?
“And how far he can go.”
