Round of 16 (2)

"how have you been doing? Congratulations on advancing to the round of 16."

Choin, who looks like a shy boy, came to the Korean national team players' waiting room and said hello.

Contrary to his innocent appearance, he was Khan Aryan, a rotten gambling addict on the inside.

"Come on, congratulations to all of you on the round of 16. The round of 16 is good enough."

Seo Moon-yeop was already determined to defeat India in the round of 16.

Khan Aryan laughed and replied.

"We have no intention of losing either."

"Hmm, nothing special happened while you were back in India, right?"

"of course. I was busy with national team training. He was with his wife even when he was resting."

Khan Arjan emphasized that he never had time to gamble.

Seo Moon-yeop's eyes narrowed.

"You bastard, didn't you secretly gamble because you weren't watching me?"

"Oh no!"

"Frankly blowing. I'll look at you with one eye."

"Don't be afraid! I really didn't gamble! If her wife finds out, that's the end of it. Why would I do that!"

If that happens, he will be completely separated from his wife, who has the psychic ability to detect lies, and will be beaten by Seo Mun-yeop until he is about to die. Both of them are people who do what they can, so Khan Aryan's awareness was very high.

"Awesome. I can't stand it because my wrists are itching."

"Please trust me. It's been a long time since I've been with my family and I've regained my peace of mind."

"Peace of mind? It's even more suspicious when that kind of sound comes out of your mouth."

"Stop it! No matter how much you ask, the facts don't change."

"Has the catch smoke increased? This Shiki, I'm going to have to torture her later and investigate properly."

"Please stop! I don't know how much of what you're saying is a joke and serious."

Seo Moon-yeop chuckled at Khan Aryan, who complained.

"Of course I'm kidding, son!"

But that was then.

"It is true."

A woman's voice was heard.

Looking towards it, it was the khan's wife.

"Oh, is Jesu here too?"

"Yes, I want to say thank you. Thanks to Iiga, I am living a fine life. She didn't even feel suspicious."

"If it is Jesu-ssi, then it must be so."

Only then did Seo Mun-yeop fully agree.

Khan's wife was a mental queen with two psychic powers: 'solid mind' and 'false perception'.

Having someone like Khan Aryan as a husband is bound to cause a breakdown, but she was never agitated, and Khan Aryan couldn't cheat on her no matter how much he tried.

"No, wait. You said you weren't joking when you said you were going to torture? Are you serious?!"

Khan Aryan asked Seo Moon-yeop.

Seo Moon-yeop replied calmly.

"No, because even harsh training can feel like a kind of torture."

"Please trust me! I will never gamble again!"

Seo Mun-yeop looked at Hwak Khan's wife.

Khan's wife nodded.

"I mean it."

"Oh, is this kid grown up?"

"But in the past, he swore to me to stop gambling seven times, and he was always sincere."

"..."

Seo Moon-yeop now felt sorry for Khan Aryan.

Gambling addiction was not a disease for nothing.

"Anyway, unlike back then, I have a job I'm doing now, so it won't be like the old days. I am grateful."

"Haha, say something. If this kid gets into gambling after he retires, tell me. You don't need at least one wrist after you've retired, right? ha ha ha!"

"Please, even if it's a joke, such radical words..."

"I'm serious."

"Huh!"

At his wife's words, Khan Aryan was terrified.

The wife said as she dragged Khan Aryan out, whose mentality had left him.

"Anyway, I look forward to a good match."

Then, Khan Aryan came to his senses and said a word to Seo Moon-yeop.

"You better be prepared. No matter how invulnerable you are, you are not on the battlefield."

"Hehe, looking forward to it."

After the greetings, both teams started preparing for the game in earnest.

***

As soon as the game started, the Indian national team moved first.

As soon as they started, they entrusted all weapons to Khan Aryan.

Khan Aryan worked hard to 'poison'. Because of the large number of consumables such as arrows and shurikens, Arjan had to use up a lot of his Aura as soon as the match started.

However, the effect was immediate.

The hunting of the Indian national team suddenly became much faster.

The Indian team, accustomed to using poison, applied it to hunting as well.

Rather than the traditional hunting method of fighting in one place, he chose to poison numerous monsters with light attacks while constantly moving.

The poisoned monsters slowly lost their strength, and hunting points were harvested in large quantities by Indian players who returned later.

-India's hunting radius is very wide!

-We are hunting very smartly, leaving only poisoning and moving to another place, returning and killing monsters when they become weak.

-I decided to use the poison really thoroughly. The Indian national team's winning streak at this World Cup seems to be poisonous.

-Yes, because the composition of the participating members is focused on players suitable for using deadly poison. The way to strengthen the offensive power of the archers by using Khan Aryan's 'Venom' was devised by YSM, and the Indian national team is using it against Seo Moon-yeop.

-I developed the idea beyond just borrowing it. So, didn't you reap the splendid achievement of advancing to the round of 16 for the first time? There are many YSM players on the Korean national team, so I wonder how they will respond.

- Korea is no different than usual. Seo Moon-yeop is alone in the hunt with a 5-5-1 formation. Seo Moon-yeop concentrates on acquiring hunting points, and the rest of the players form groups of 5 to prepare for the opposing team's check play.

-In terms of hunting efficiency, it would have been better to divide them into 4-3-3-1 and use a wider area. After all, they are wary of raids by the Indian national team, so they must have safely paired up five people, right?

-Yes, what is interesting is Seo Moon-yeop's hunting. It is true that hunting alone is more efficient than with the help of other players. That's why I left Seo Moon-yeop alone throughout this World Cup.

-Seo Moon-yeop, you are really good at hunting monsters. Either way, both teams are far from the norm. At first glance, India seems to hunt faster. How about that?

- At first glance, the Indian hunting method seems faster, but I'm not sure how effective it actually is. Isn't the movement of Indian players long? Since the time required to move must also be taken into account, that is more efficient than the normal pattern.

It's too early to judge whether it is.

In the beginning, there were no special scenes because both teams had to focus on hunting. Maybe that's why the cast often gave long explanations to pass the time.

However, as time passed, surprisingly, the Korean team moved first.

Seomunyeop is red, which is the third stage.

It was the timing when the other players were each surrounded by a second-level purple glow.

Perhaps judging that they had become strong enough with hunting points, the Korean national team moved toward the Indian camp in unison.

- It's unexpected. South Korea is aggressive ahead of India. Normally, the Indian national team, which is playing its own way, would have been the first to check.

-Did you judge that attack is the best defense? It may be that they are thinking of getting into a big fight first before being plagued by guerrillas who run away after shooting poison arrows.

-The Indian national team's difficulty in playing is that they run away after playing solo.

-Yes, as you said, the Korean team is moving with the players divided into three divisions.

Seo Mun-yeop took a detour to the east, Baek Ha-yeon and Lee Na-yeon took a detour to the west, and the rest advanced head-on.

The intention was to block the retreat and attack from three directions.

The Korean side was cautious in their movements, as they could be defeated individually if these movements were discovered in advance.

-The Indian side should also be aware of it, right? If you don't find out right before the fight starts, you'll be defeated in an instant!

Fortunately, the Indian national team was not such a poor scouting team.

Rather, because of its unique hunting method, it was scouting around a wide area.

The Korean side's move was also noticed by the Indian national team.

"Korea is coming to attack first."

"I didn't see Seo Mun-yeop, Baek Ha-yeon, or Lee Na-yeon among the Korean crowd. I'm thinking of hitting it in both directions. No, if it's Seo Moon-yeop, it's okay to go alone, so it could be in three directions."

"You must be thinking of blocking the escape route and fighting."

India was surprised when South Korea boldly entered, but soon made up its mind.

"Let's fight right in District 4. In that place, the terrain is complicated, so it is easy to retreat after fighting."

The 1st set dungeon is barren.

It was literally a desolate terrain with nothing but dirt and rocks.

Various kinds of mineral-eating monsters ate dirt, rocks, hills, etc., making the terrain more complicated.

It was an advantageous dungeon for the Indian national team because it was easy to hide or escape.

The Indian players, who knew that it would be difficult to win against Korea, wanted to win the first set fighting in an advantageous dungeon.

"You can spray poison and run away. You can poison some of them."

Rahula Johar said confidently.

He likes to rain down dozens of shurikens and was confident in hit-and-run fights because he was quick on his feet.

Rahula Johar's 'remote control' was a much more delicate psychic power than I thought.

It would seem that it would be enough to just spray the shurikens all at once and let them rain down on the enemy's head, but in the meantime, Zohar controls one or two shurikens separately, aiming for the enemy's throat.

Rahula Johar was unable to get a kill because of his weakness of being able to control only light objects.

Before meeting Khan Aryan's deadly poison, Rahula Zohar chose dozens of shurikens to compensate for his shortcomings.

It seemed like they were just spraying it all at once and fighting with the quantity, but the real attack was to skillfully manipulate a few of them to attack the vital points.

Thanks to such efforts, he became so talented that he was often selected as a national team player, and he wanted to play a prominent role in this World Cup.

'I'll get noticed in this game and I'll definitely go to Europe again.'

It was Zohar who wanted to make up for the bitter experience of returning to Europe after failing due to low kill rates.

There must be a player with the supernatural ability to deal with poison like Khan Aryan in Europe, and a team in Europe may be able to think of using a poison attack strategy after the Indian national team.

It is a good tactic for weak teams, as the Indian national team is showing at this World Cup.

***

- Get close to the enemy. First of all, be careful of the attacks of ranged dealers.

-yes!

Seo Moon-yeop spoke again.

- Bear in mind. The point is the chase, not the fight. It's obvious they'll try to hit and run. When they fall away, check the direction the enemy ranged dealers are running away from and chase them.

The Korean team's strategy this time was simple.

The Indian national team was on average much faster than Korea.

But it's an average story.

There are many players who are slow in Korea, but there were also players with world-class speed, such as Seo Moon-yeop, Lee Na-yeon, and Baek Ha-yeon.

These three were trying to chase down the key ranged dealers in India who hit and run.
