Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

# 185

185. It was a single

blow (9) for just one shot.

“…”

In everyone’s silence, I sheathed my sword.

Pushush. Blood gushed from the giant’s neck like a fountain. My single sword split the huge steel ax and separated its neck from its body.

thud.

The man who had lost his head stumbled and fell to the ground.

“Uh, so…”

“I won, right?”

“Ah, yes. Han Israt, win!”

The referee raised my hand.

I brushed off the blood on the blade and came down the stage.

The blood seeping through the cracks in the floor gradually turned to light and was disappearing.

After a while, that guy will be resurrected in the arena waiting room. That’s why I was able to cut it with peace of mind.

“Awesome!”

Aaron shouted in the silence.

Don’t be embarrassing. I smiled and entered the hallway leading to the waiting room.

Blood dripped along the path I walked.

I opened the door with the plaque reading ‘Athlete Waiting Room’ and entered.

I sat down on the sofa in the corner and took out a recovery potion.

This was the last potion I had.

‘Clavicle Ribs Lower Abdomen Thigh Calves.’

All the annoying places are hurt.

Every time the potion was applied to the affected area, intense pain came up.

If he hadn’t learned regeneration and rigid body skills, he would have been unable to fight.

The match I just played was the round of 32.

To win the individual event, you have to win 4 more times.

“…excellent.”

I looked to the side.

A man in a Niflheim uniform coat was looking at me.

oh this guy

He is the one called the Second Coming of the Sword Demon.

“I saw it through the video in the waiting room. It’s a great sword.”

he walked up to me

I listened and nodded my head.

By the way, it’s a video. When I turned my head, there was a large TV installed on the wall of the waiting room.

“I’m Niflheim’s chief trainee, Vanil Norchev. You’re…” ”

Han, belong to Taoni.”

“It’s Taoni. If it’s Taoni, that Aaron’s?”

“That’s right. He was originally our party.”

“There’s a big difference in level for the same party.”

Vanille said expressionlessly.

“I was able to reach the final match of the battle royale as well. That’s enough to admit it. How about coming to Niflheim? You said you were also an outside trainee, don’t you know enough about Niflheim’s excellence? When I go back, Director I’ll give you a suggestion.”

You’re talking fantastic.

I bandaged the wound silently.

“I think you’re like me.”

“confederate?”

“It’s not by nature. A person who has a vessel different from others. Like Lidigion-sama.”

Vanil grabbed the scabbard.

“If rabbits ate meat and lions ate grass, would the world go well?

Vanille’s eyes narrowed when he said ‘rabbit’.

It was obvious who I was thinking of, so I laughed.

“Go. I have no idea.”

“…Sorry.”

At that time, the broadcast looking for Vanil resonated in the waiting room.

It seemed that this guy’s turn had come. Barnil told me to tell me whenever I changed my mind and then left the waiting room.

‘A rabbit and a lion.’

I have no intention of blaming.

To him, that was just a matter of course. Even though he doesn’t become a ‘bowl’, Aaron, who is trying to climb up far away, will look like a rabbit trying to eat meat to him.

‘What happened to Aaron?’

I was the only one left in the waiting room.

I drank the rest of the recovery potion in one gulp and looked at the bulletin board on one side of the waiting room.

The bracket was being updated in real time on the hologram screen.

I’m glad.

Aaron’s name is included.

I don’t think I was eliminated from Group A.

I finished first aid in the waiting room.

The bleeding has stopped and the condition of the body has improved, but it will be difficult to fully recover within today.

The aftereffects of Exceed last for several days. With this penalty, I had to win the individual event.

After feeling better to some extent, I left the waiting room.

Most of the players were watching the game from the field.

Because that would be better for exploring the opponent.

I decided to go out to the stadium and watch the game.

Coincidentally, Vanil was knocking down the opponent.

This time it was bare fisted.

I looked at Barnille, who turned his back as if it were natural, and then headed to the bleachers on the second floor of the stadium.

According to the bracket, the next match was Aaron’s turn.

Aaron, who had gone down the bleachers, was on his way to the stage holding a spear.

“Hwiyu, that hero called the Second Coming of the Sword Demon is amazing. I don’t know the end of his skills.”

A chatter of spectators erupted from the side.

“Who was that man? I’ve never seen him before.”

“It’s just that I’m from Niflheim, the same as Geomjae.”

“Ohh, then is that guy great too?”

“No, he’s normal. He doesn’t seem to be able to overwhelm opponents like Geomjae. He doesn’t seem like a good fit for Niflheim. If you bet money on that guy, you’ll lose everything? Your luck against him is good, but he’ll be eliminated in the semi-finals anyway.”

As I listened to the stories of the heroes who were eliminated in the preliminaries, I smiled and looked at Aaron. Facing the double swordsman, Aaron was fighting while stabbing and swinging a spear. The double swordsmen who confronted him also dealt with Aaron while playing with weapons.

“It’s nothing.”

“Isn’t it? There’s no impact. There’s no taste to see.”

The spectators flirted.

I guess so. Aaron can’t overwhelm his opponent, and his fighting style itself isn’t fast or flashy.

Aaron’s techniques are simple thrusting and swinging.

It was a very basic movement that any beginner Changsoo could use.

The movements were neat, like a machine, but nothing more. Aaron did not use any of the higher-level skills that contained the profound logic of weapon skills.

“He’s boring. Who are the other winners?”

“There is a mad dog.”

“A mad dog?”

“They said that after a massacre in Battle Royale, he participated in an individual battle. I heard that the opponent’s weapon and head were cut in half in a single blow? He looks in poor physical condition, but that mad dog is a monstrous monster… Eop!”

The spectators who met my eyes were frightened and left the place as if they were running away.

“What, what? Let’s go together!”

In an instant, the two seats next to me were empty.

Are you the same hero? I clicked my tongue and looked away.

no i tried to turn

“…”

Someone was sitting.

As if it was naturally there.

He was short like a child and wore a bread hat down to his mouth.

“Stupid.”

The boy with his arms folded looked at the stage and muttered.

“I’ve said it several times. I don’t think my words are relevant.”

I narrowed my eyes.

‘This guy….’

“A meek child, he has no ambition. He doesn’t even come. He needs to be beaten five hundred times. If he just works hard, what will he do? We’ll stick bamboo spears at the pigs.”

“…”

“Master.”

The boy lifted one side of his bread hat.

The purple eyes were shining brightly.

“Do you know why I came here?”

I said nothing.

“I can’t stay long. I think I’ll get slapped by the mist woman. I’ll tell you briefly.”

The boy opened his mouth.

[Aaron…]

The whisper lasted about five minutes.

After speaking, the boy smiled.

I blinked the next moment, and the boy’s figure was gone.

I looked at the stage.

Aaron was thrusting the blade of his spear into the neck of his fallen opponent.

It was the result of a battle that lasted about 15 minutes.

“I lost, I lost.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

Aaron stood up, bowed, and left the stage.

No one cheered him on.

“Next match!”

The referee in the middle of the stage shouted.

“Final Round of 16, Group G! Taonier’s Han Israt! Lesande’s Jardi Northlight!”

Is it my turn already?

I got up.

[Notice to individual contestants! From the quarterfinals, spectators flock to the stadium, so participating heroes, please wait in the waiting room.]

The entire stadium was being broadcast.

I climbed onto the stage after jumping over the iron fence that blocked the audience and the stage.

A knight with a shield and sword walked out of the passage on the other side. It was a typical swordsman type.

“You’re seriously hurt. Please abstain. I don’t want to fight the weak.”

The driver looked at me and said right away.

I drew my sword without a word.

“It doesn’t fit my beliefs, but I can’t help it

.

The width of the blade widened.

I jumped at the opponent with Bifrost, which became a great sword.

“Not even the start signal yet…!”

The knight was taken aback, but raised his shield and took a stand.

My full-powered blow dented the shield, and the knight staggered back several steps.

“Hey, wait!”

It was then that the referee’s whistle blew.

That’s it now. I planted my forefoot on the ground, and struck the greatsword several times with weight.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

On the fifth, the steel shield shattered into pieces.

And Kwajik in the sixth

.

The knight fell face down, splattered with blood.

“Ha, Han Israt. Wins.”

The referee looked at me with bewildered eyes.

I don’t like fighting like this. If you drag it on for a long time, the aftereffects will come.

I brushed off the blood on my greatsword and came down the stage.

After a while, the players in the quarterfinals were roughly decided.

Aaron and Vanille in Group A, and me in Group B, were replaced by 4-star high-level heroes. As most of the junkies were filtered out, it could be said that it was real from here on out.

14:00.

The bleachers at the individual competition arena began to fill up.

The battle royale and team finals are over. The schedule for the mini game has also been completed. All that was left was the final round of the individual competition, which could be said to be the main event of the three major events.

[Phew, I barely won. I almost died.]

“I hope we won. Which members were injured?”

[Um, is Kishasha unni? No big deal. I’m going to the individual competition arena now. I’m going to watch my brother Can we win?]

“You say it’s a horse.”

[That Aaron brother…]

“He’s advanced. He’s in the waiting room with me.”

[all right. Anyway, cheer up.]

Communication with Jenna ended.

I tossed the depleted communication stone into the trash and looked to the side.

The waiting room where the contestants gathered. Aaron, who was next, was sitting on the bench. It was not a face of tension or determination. Aaron was fiddling with the spear with a slightly calm expression.

“hey.”

“Ah, brother.”

“Don’t get up. Sit down.”

“Are you feeling well?”

“Enough until the finals. Worry about yourself.”

Aaron grinned.

“Are you here to cheer me up? Thank you.”

“Aaron.”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to be like him?”

I pointed to Barneel, who was warming up in the corner.

Barneel was moving a sharp longsword very slowly. “What you mean… I’m not sure.”

”

I want to become a talented person. When you see it once, you know the heat, and when you know the heat, there are people who use it as a hundred. You pretend to be normal. I look at him with eyes asking why he can’t do something that can’t be done.”

“That’s it….”

I opened my mouth before Aaron could answer.

“You can’t.”

“….”

“You can never follow me. It’s a realm and a sword, no matter how much I explain it, you won’t understand. It only sounds like a buzzing noise. Even if I show you, I don’t know how to do it. Why are you trying to force something like that?”

Aaron kept his head down.

“Aaron.”

“…yes.

” I’ll be waiting for you.”

“But…”

“If you say no, I know how to search. If not, let it be. find a way Whether you put sleeping pills in your water, poison your spear, or go up and slap me in the back, win at any cost.”

Aaron bit his lip.

“Why did you tell me you wanted to be strong? Was it to follow you?”

“I-I…”

“Don’t admire me. you can’t be that guy Don’t even think about following. no. you will still be it will be the same in the future So… destroy it.”

Just like Muden did.

Like the guy who has driven spears into the hearts of geniuses a thousand times better than himself.

“…”

Aaron looked at me with incomprehensible eyes.

It’s okay. I understand. You don’t have to. You just need to remember one thing:

[Next game! Players, please come out on stage!]

“It’s your turn.” Just

in time, the announcement came on.

Aaron stood up to play.

“I’m not sure what that means. ”

Aaron grabbed the spear hanging from the wall.

“You mean win?”

“I understood it well.”

“I’ll try…”

“That won’t work.

” ”

I’ll win.”

“Okay. Come and go.”

Aaron bowed his head to me and exited the door.

After that, the next one came out. I looked up. I saw

the ceiling in the inorganic background.

[What an idiot.]

Muden’s voice recurs [The time Aaron spent there was not 57 years.]

That ‘s right.

The

human mind can’t handle that time.

He has endured by resetting his memory dozens of times and regenerating his personality.

Aaron did not lose ‘himself’,

‘a monster child.’

I laughed

and quietly recited the time Aaron had endured.
