“Lilha~!”
[Lilha!]
[Lilha]
[The world is starting to melt…!]
[ㅀㅀㅀ]
[Is the great ice age finally over?]
[No, why is the sponsorship blocked again?]
[Did the move go well?]
[Wow, I thought I was going to die waiting for the Lily broadcast, phew!]
[What? Is it immediately a match?]
[Oh, is it my turn to battle?]
[As soon as the broadcast starts, the viewers see Lily preparing for the match against the white battlefield.]
A massive white battlefield is draped in a blue veil.
[Ranked battle will start shortly.]
[Platinum – 891 Points]
[Battle format – single match, stat adjustment, equipment adjustment.]
From Platinum onward, the battlefield changes a little bit.
Until Gold, it’s just two people fighting in a completely empty white room, but starting from Platinum, some terrain features and scenery decorated in the corresponding tier color are revealed.
A ceiling of blue light and gray walls symbolizing the shrine.
And the opponent was right in front of me.
The telekinetic is naturally lifting the stones scattered around.
“I’m starting the Saturday battle broadcast.”
[Let’s go for Diamond~]
[Let’s go for Challenger, let’s go!]
[Diamond will just get through it, huh?]
[ㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱ]
[Will the undefeated myth continue? LOL]
■
Telekinetic.
A rare class that uses a special resource called ‘mind power’ instead of mana.
As long as the mind is intact, it can exhibit telekinetic powers close to infinite, and there are very few people capable of handling it.
Clang.
The broken stones of the shrine lift into the air under telekinetic power.
With slightly long navy blue hair for a guy, it floats upwards, and his black eyes turn white.
I can feel his mind power here.
I took out my spear.
Using a hammer inevitably creates a lot of fragments, and all those fragments become the telekinetic’s resources.
[Not using the hammer?]
[Let’s use the hammer, hammer!]
[The spear is the original though, LOL]
[But isn’t that a white weapon?]
[Third-tier telekinesis can be tough.]
[From Platinum onward, it gets a bit intense.]
[If you use the hammer, it gets destroyed too much, right?]
As soon as the match began, I quickly moved behind the telekinetic.
The spear twisted, and the rush of the spear filled with the spirit’s wind follows.
Ka-ka-kak—!
The stones condense and block the spear’s rush.
However, it’s funny that it was merely blocked by a bunch of stones, and in an instant, the spear shreds through them.
It wouldn’t be surprising to be a little shocked, but the telekinetic expressionlessly summoned something from the air and began to mumble.
I summoned something from the air and my mouth started moving.
Ugh…!
“Reverse Gravity.”
Gravity is reversed.
In an instant, everything present on the battlefield floats up, and the spear that was aiming at the telekinetic sorcerer loses its gravity, rendered almost powerless.
What the telekinetic sorcerer summoned were golden blades made of a special material.
Five blades ride the telekinesis and target my body.
‘Emergency.’
The influence of the gravity that was randomly lifting my body disappears.
A spear circles around me.
The spear, filled with mana, shatters the telekinetic power infused in the blades, and one of them quickly swipes towards the telekinetic sorcerer.
The blade stops precisely in front of the telekinetic sorcerer’s neck.
“The blades don’t attack their master.”
Tch.
I catch the blade again.
“And they must attack the master’s enemies.”
Ka-Cang!
Swoosh!
“…!”
The blade grazes my cheek.
Even though I clearly blocked it, it still managed to wound me as it passed.
[Huh]
[Oooh]
[Is that a critical hit?]
[If the contract has a critical hit attached, it must be pretty expensive.]
[As expected, legendary gatekeeper lol]
[The wall of lamentation is impressive.]
[It seems to be at least semi-legendary since I can take damage even when blocking.]
[A semi-legendary critical hit is super expensive.]
[It’s tough, isn’t it?]
[Still, I don’t think Lily is going to lose haha.]
The remaining four blades also target me.
Each one is a set item infused with a critical hit enchant.
Blocking them holds no meaning.
‘You can really see how great skills are in times like this.’
Many people marvel and envy the unique use of mana, but in my view, the systemic skills they possess are truly exceptional.
After all, this kind of ‘unconditional’ effect didn’t exist except among upper celestial and demon races.
Simply put, they are using powers somewhat similar to those of the celestial and demon races.
The spear twists.
Another flow of mana overlaps atop the already layered one.
The spears of howling wind.
The blades targeting me with their critical hits are unable to advance and are being pushed back little by little.
But eventually, those blades will dig in and wound my body.
To stop those blades, I need to disable or kill the caster.
The opponent is a telekinetic sorcerer focusing on telekinesis.
This battlefield, filled with many fragments to take, is extremely advantageous to the telekinetic sorcerer.
Sensing the threat, the sorcerer raises the fragments and layers them, surrounding themselves like a shield.
Each fragment isn’t ordinary; each one is a fragment enhanced by telekinesis.
They probably won’t break easily.
‘Spear of Division.’
Ka-Ruk.
The spear that started as one splits into two.
The spear multiplied into two.
From two to four. And then eight.
“…!”
‘Is eight the limit?’
In the past, I managed to extend it to hundreds, but with my current state, this is a rather decent achievement.
Actually, the Splitting Spear is a technique based on the Holy.
Just replacing the Holy with Mana is quite an achievement.
Kwaaah!
The first spear devours the telekinetic energy of the fragment.
The second spear causes cracks in the fragment.
The third spear blew away half of the fragment.
The fourth spear shattered the fragment’s shield.
And the fifth…
Kwadak.
“No need to use it.”
Already pierced the opponent with the fourth.
[Now it even creates spears]
[Hahaha]
[It’s always incredible to see]
[Not surprising]
[This is Riligi, haha]
[Diamonds incoming!]
[Haha, going for promotion]
[Even the Telekinetic isn’t Legendary, yet Lily beats them so easily]
[For real, lol]
[Crab, haha]
“Wow.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“…Yeah.”
The telekinetic with a stunned expression turned to particles and vanished.
Winning has become so natural that even in chat, no one seems particularly surprised anymore.
I guess I have to climb up to the ‘Challenger’ side for something interesting to happen.
Personally, I found the fight with Black very enjoyable.
[Red WIN!]
[Platinum 891 Points -> Platinum 900 Points]
[Diamond promotion V o o o o]
[You can use the Honor Shop upon promotion to Diamond.]
[If you maintain Diamond rank for a week, you will be awarded ‘50 Honor’ and the title ‘Diamond’ (weekly maintenance).]
[You will be demoted if you lose three times below 900 points.]
“Oh.”
The Honor Shop, huh.
I wonder what they sell there.
“What do they sell in the Honor Shop?”
[Potions or blessings?]
[Stuff that can’t be found in the regular field, kinda like farm hidden pieces]
[Potion]
[You can exchange it for money, but it’s not very efficient]
[You can also get decorative items]
[If you reach rank 1, you’ll receive the title ‘Strongest’; once you get that, it’s almost like a mythical hidden piece, haha]
[I want to be a Ril Strongest ;;]
[It’s pretty hard to really get rank 1]
[What’s rank 1 nowadays?]
“Rank 1? Who is it?”
Who among these numerous rankers boldly occupies rank 1?
Among the excellent rankers I have met, like Choco and Black, each maintained their positions within the top 10, but none were rank 1.
Even Leo, who was almost called the strongest, was sitting at rank 2.
[It’s a Sword Saint, but there’s been no news lately.]
Right now, there’s no news.
[Sword Saint]
[There’s a kid who uses a sword really well.]
[I heard he’s holed up in some dungeon, but I don’t know.]
[He’s posted so much that he doesn’t really show up in rankings, but he’s been maintaining it steadily.]
[I wonder who would win if he faced off against Lily.]
[I wanna see that showdown.]
[Honestly, having the title of strongest with Lily around feels a bit cocky.]
[For real, lol.]
“Hmmm…”
A Sword Saint, huh.
“I only know one Sword Saint.”
■
“Hmm, hmmm~”
Somewhere on the battlefield of Deoen, where Team Co’s private scrim was in full swing.
They were having practice matches between teams in preparation for the DCK Summer Spring happening in July.
Team Co’s practice opponent was WoW, a team known for its powerful mage lineup.
Co is a strong team, but their synergy with WoW hasn’t been great, resulting in poor scrim results.
However, for some reason, all recent scrims have ended in victories for Co.
Whoosh~
“Haha.”
And at the center of it all is the ace of the team wielding the golden spear, Chota Choka Chuka Chip.
While she was known for her excellent spear skills, there were slight shortcomings in other areas, but after being selected for the mock siege warfare team, she transformed like someone else.
Her spear movements and flow became more unpredictable, and her ‘technique’ itself seems to have improved beyond stats.
She’s currently ranked 4th in ranked matches.
“Got any good news?”
“Not really?”
Choco, the cousin of the telekinetic Leiter, who wields a purple cube, chuckled while spinning the golden spear once.
The golden magical power flows smoothly through her heart.
It doesn’t just follow a defined path; it moves independently according to her master’s command.
Just like someone from the mock siege warfare.
“Why the heck did I let this out only for myself?”
I don’t know why I stupidly revealed this, but it’s clear now.
“I can win.”
“You’ve been looking good lately. Even the director seems to like it.”
“The spring championship is already in the bag.”
“Confidence is good, but… you know about the mock siege warfare, right? Everyone’s looking forward to it.”
“Of course.”
Whoosh~!
The golden spear, boosted by the cube’s buff, slices through two mages in the distance, signaling the team’s victory.
“I’ll rip Leo and Lily apart.”
