[‘Sigma Gaweol’ has defeated ‘AT Kelberos’.] [
Get ready. The next opponent will be sent in without a cooldown.]
[An enemy has been summoned at a random location.]
As the kill log appeared, Ga-wol once again stord the battlefield.
In the dark night sky, a new model vanished as quietly as if it were subrged in the shadows.
The cara followed Ga-wol but soon gave up and soared high into the air.
Instead, the new enemy was illuminated.
From a distance, a witch was fiddling with the tip of her staff.
Between the jewel-like crystal and her gloved hands, a crackling sound echoed.
A deep blue spark surged violently.
A subtle current flowed across the wreckage, keeping watch around the witch.
[Servant '2' has died. The death location has been marked.]
[Servant '4' has died…]
In the winner-takes-all tournant, assassins were not typically highly rated.
They often struggled with matchups, were not as durable as paladins, and were not specialized for prolonged battles.
If they were used, it was mostly as a card to take down the enemy’s ranged ace.
However, there was one exception that could turn this evaluation upside down.
The witch, with a tense face, touched her staff.
In her busy mind, she calculated Ga-wol’s approximate location and speed.
《 By now, many people must already know. 》
《 Especially in the arena, it’s sothing we’ve talked about frequently. The first surprise attack in reconnaissance is an assassin’s privilege. 》
《 And Ga-wol is an assassin who utilizes this privilege better than anyone. 》
《 He’s proven himself against Hashashin, Phantom, and Reaper. At this point, saying it is just a waste of words. 》
《 If Ga-wol can continue winning like this... he’ll keep using that deadly privilege. 》
The sky was too dark to see the shadows clearly.
The sound of rain hitting the hull made it difficult to hear footsteps.
Despite bringing many skills for detection, how many players had actually found Ga-wol first until now?
Would this ti be any different?
At the mont Kelberos had been easily taken down, hadn’t the ga already been decided?
Too many distractions troubled the witch’s mind.
But she didn’t falter.
Despite these unfavorable conditions, she was part of the AT team.
With a deep exhale, a burst of light circled around her.
The dim moon briefly closed its eyes.
The black shadow didn’t miss the opportunity.
At the exact mont when the signal sent by the light didn’t reach the witch’s perception,
the assassin had already caught up behind her.
“Cough...!”
The dagger tore through the delicate skin.
The blade moved, leaving a chilling trajectory.
Before the witch could offer any significant resistance, her tendons and arteries were severed.
This... was dangerous.
Without even the chance to offer a ager resistance, her body disassembled.
Before it beca impossible to act, the witch used a survival skill to escape.
She hadn’t made a wrong choice.
The approach had been difficult, but the escape route was easy.
Even after moving, she remained alert, releasing a chill into the surroundings.
The decision made in such a brief mont seed almost flawless.
It was a choice that any witch user would recognize as the ‘model answer.’
AT’s coaching staff let out a sigh of relief.
Yeah. That was the problem.
The ‘model answer’—that was sothing Ga-wol could infer, wasn’t it?
Imdiately following with Shadow Movent, Ga-wol smiled.
《 Ga-wol has imdiately caught up to Skadi! He’s continuing his relentless attack! 》
《 This is a huge crisis for AT! Kelberos was already overpowered, and now they’re in a precarious position! 》
《 Notice that this match is ‘4-player’ instead of 5 or 6. 》
《 If Skadi falls here, there’s no more breathing room, and the ga is basically over! 》
《 And this... seems like a premonition turning into reality! 》
A high-voltage current began to condense in the witch’s staff.
The air grew cold, and a flash of blue light shot through the falling beams of light.
Blood trickled down from her arm, staining the staff.
The Place Where Storm Sleeps was a battlefield where the power and range of electric magic drastically increased.
On this rain-soaked sea, the witch could dominate as a counter to assassins.
But the opponent was Ga-wol. General theories of compatibility didn’t work against him.
Just before the staff fired the concentrated lightning,
Ga-wol leaped, using his longsword as a prop, as though tumbling through the air.
The longsword embedded in the hull first absorbed the lightning.
Ga-wol’s light body briefly floated in the air before his legs coiled around the witch’s neck.
A sickening crunch echoed from the witch’s neck.
The rciless dagger sealed her fate.
[‘Sigma Ga-wol’ has defeated ‘AT Skadi’.]
[Prepare yourself. The next opponent will be deployed without delay.]
[An enemy has been summoned to a random location.]
Finally, the third player from AT erged.
The player’s face bore an unmistakable shadow, even from afar.
In contrast, Ga-wol hid his body with a lively expression.
Though he had sustained so electric shock damage, Ga-wol’s health was still above 70%.
It was an excellent condition to have already taken down two enemies as a first player.
Everyone could only imagine what was coming next.
An all-kill in the winner-takes-all tournant.
An achievent that hadn’t even been seen in the first division, let alone the World Championship.
With the previous two players crumbling so easily, the anxiety beca a looming reality.
《 The third player from AT is Valkyrie. After switching to the Paladin class, he has entered the match… 》
《 Honestly, by now, you all know. Paladins have a better matchup against assassins, but they’re not absolute. 》
《 There’s no guarantee Valkyrie will take down Ga-wol. Even if he does, he won’t be in good shape, and Sigma has too many counter cards. 》
《 Looking at it this way, AT’s final player needs at least 3 kills to win. At this point, the ga seems almost over. 》
《 At this point, it seems like AT’s goal is to stop Ga-wol’s all-kill. 》
The dagger slamd down with a squelch.
A brutal sound accompanied the snap of the neck joint.
The hand that had tried to choke the neck weakened, its strength draining away.
Damn, they’re persistent.
Trying to kill , but no matter what, they can’t end it without a fight.
Even if I have to give up my bones, I’ll make them bleed a few tis.
So many tis, I’ve given sothing up.
In my mouth, there’s only the taste of blood.
My insides have been battered into mush, and my limbs are pierced multiple tis.
At this point, even I feel the pain.
Yet, I can’t help but grin.
The corner of my mouth slowly lifts.
I lie down, sprawled out on the wreckage, with blood all around.
[Victory achieved.]
[Congratulations to ‘Sigma Ga-wol’ for winning the World Championship.]
[The connection will end in 5 seconds.]
As soon as I left the connection in an excited state,
my teammates, who had been waiting for , grabbed my hand and pulled .
My body felt like it was floating, embraced with warmth.
So hugged tightly, while others gave my shoulder a supportive tap.
The stage lights shone brightly over the arena.
“Be careful. If you trip now, it’ll stick with you for life.”
“That’s fine, right? People need to know that Da-eun is tougher than she looks.”
“Tough? I’m more decisive than most…”
“Pfft, hahahah!”
On our way to the center of the stage, ordinary conversations were exchanged.
I didn’t have the words to give a grand speech.
Instead, it was just Hekate smiling brightly as usual.
If it had been my usual personality, I might have been jumping around.
But dragging around while jumping would have been a form of torture.
Thankfully, no one on our team had the hobby of torturing , so I could stand quietly in front of the trophy.
Petals of paper fluttered down.
Words in English, filled with the frantic and excited emotions, echoed through the arena.
Of course, I couldn’t understand exactly what they were saying.
But it didn’t matter.
My mind was already full of the sound of my pounding heart.
I was busy trying to rember the cheers of the fans and this shining scene.
A few interviews followed.
Talk of the final MVP and Sigma’s record was ntioned.
Rather than grand stories, the question asking for my “thoughts” struck a chord with .
“Yes, then, next we have Ga-wol. Please share your thoughts.”
“Well… getting here was really, really hard, you know? It’s been tough, for a long, long ti. It was so hard, but it doesn’t feel like it was all in vain... more than anything, that’s what makes happiest.”
Tears I couldn’t hold back fell.
I wasn’t hurt or embarrassed.
An old grudge was lifted, and a sense of relief washed over .
I lifted the trophy with joy,
and kissed it.
One day, after the glorious World Championship passed,
I received a ssage.
