Quarterfinals (4)

The United Kingdom national team, which had already made it to the quarterfinals, was facing a match against China.

China was in the same group as France, so it was in danger of being eliminated from the group stage, but it managed to pass as second place in the group, and won the round of 16 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

However, the British side did not view China as a difficult opponent.

It is a strong team with fast and agile spearmen represented by Zhou Lin plus a powerful option called Shu Ran, but England was also regarded as the golden age of the World Cup ever as they formed a unified national team.

Above all, there was the Irish Wizard, Roy Meyer.

"China is not difficult to deal with. They have a lot of good players, but their tactics are just poor imitations of France and Paris Lumiere."

It was the evaluation of Roy Meyer, who had the judgment to dominate the dungeon to the point of being called the 'wisdom of a wizard'.

There was a strong trust in his words. If he was, that was it. My colleagues thought that the war against China must be easily won.

"The problem is the quarterfinals."

Roy Meyer muttered as he watched the TV.

The match between Korea and Italy was being broadcast.

In the World Cup matchup, the United Kingdom team will meet the winner of today's match if it beats China and advances to the semifinals.

Looking at the results of the first set, it seemed that Korea would rise.

Seo Moon-yeop got 2 kills with only a javelin, and even when facing head-on, he wiped out Italian players, starting with Chichi Lucas.

It was a trembling destructive force.

The Italian national team players were all known just by hearing their names. Among the players active in the big leagues, he was a member who was selected and selected.

But you're killing me like that.

'I can't even believe it. It's a scene that feels unreal.'

During the break after the 1st set, the highlight scene continued to be shown.

Seo Moon-yeop scored 6 kills by himself, and almost single-handedly devastated the Italian national team.

"I hope Italy comes up, but it will be difficult, right?"

muttered Jack Malone.

His psychic powers of creating and controlling 'fire giants' were gaining renown at this World Cup, but the sight on TV made him queasy.

"Looking at that, do you have any hopes like that? Italy is bad."

melee dealer Sam Wilson grumbled.

Roy Meyer also nodded.

"No matter how you look at it, Italy has no chance of winning. Seo Moon-yeop is too old. Even I am reluctant to go to Korea..."

The second set of the match started.

Seo Mun-yeop went over to the Italian camp alone and started playing in check.

Every time I threw a spear, a kill came out.

Amazingly predicts the target's movement and throws a spear.

Anyone who threw a javelin at least twice was death.

The players of the United Kingdom national team watching the match on TV couldn't help but sigh.

"How do you throw so well? Do you even have a preview of the future a few seconds ahead?"

A player's sigh gave the correct answer, but no one took it seriously.

"I've become a completely different person from the previous A match."

Roy Meyer sighed.

When we played an A match against Korea, the United Kingdom national team narrowly won.

The United Kingdom national team today is stronger than ever.

However, Korea was completely transformed.

In particular, Seo Moon-yeop became absurdly strong, as if he had been born again.

There was a reason the Korean national team did not include Pietro Anella.

'Because I was confident of winning even without Pietro Anella. How much stronger will I become if I join him?'

Roy Meyer was worried about the semifinals.

England's goal was to win the World Cup. In order to increase their status in the Battlefield, they even organized an integrated representative team.

However, Korea was a huge obstacle.

'I must keep Pietro Anella in check. He's also someone I can't stop unless I deal with him. But who will stop Seo Mun-yeop?'

Chichi Lucas, who was considered one of the best tanks, could not last long and was killed. It was not Seo Moon-yeop who could be blocked by tanks.

The 2nd set was over while I was having troublesome thoughts.

This time, Korea won 11-0.

even······.

- All kill! Seo Moon-yeop made an all-kill against Gearco Italy!

- Because it was a much easier dungeon to maneuver than Dragon's Nest, Seo Mun-yeop was able to walk freely from the start of the game. This was a huge disaster for Italy.

-It's really scary, Seo Moon-yeop. We feel strongly set to show who is the best Battlefield player in this World Cup.

An all-kill came out on the World Cup stage.

Seo Mun-yeop killed all 11 Italian players.

He did it alone, without the help of his colleagues, and it was the greatest achievement among all-killers.

Across both teams, the attack points from the 2nd set were only 11 kills and 0 assists.

Out of 22 players, only Seo Moon-yeop accumulated attack points unilaterally.

"Gary."

Roy Meyer called Gary Williams.

"You belong to the same club as Seo Moon-yeop, right?"

"okay."

"How do you rate Seo Moon-yeop?"

Gary shook his head.

"I am not someone I dare to judge."

"Don't you know your weaknesses?"

"There could be something like that. If so, would it be a self-righteous play? Because the order is too unilateral. But no one has any complaints and most of the time they are always right, so it has never been a problem."

Seo Moon-yeop's judgments in the dungeon were always right, so YSM and the Korean national team followed them faithfully.

There was no player to express dissatisfaction. No one dared to have such a heart. Seo Moon-yeop's authority was that much.

"This is a headache."

But Roy Meyer had no intention of giving up.

He also had a personality that would not be resolved without becoming the best.

If it was the semifinals of the World Cup, it was a very satisfactory report card for the United Kingdom national team. The goal was to win, but it was only an ideal, and in reality, the purpose was to prove that Britain was no longer weak on the battlefield in a world competition.

But Roy Meyer wasn't someone who could be satisfied with that.

'I'm going to win. I will win somehow and become the best.'

Roy Meyer burned with fighting spirit.

***

There was no controversy over Pietro Anella's absence.

They beat Italy and made it to the semifinals, but when the whole country was a festival, there was no media writing an article pouring cold water on them.

Seo Mun-yeop took all the attention.

As intended, Seo Moon-yeop played an overwhelming role, leaving no time to wonder about Pietro Anella.

Seo Moon-yeop was now becoming the MVP of this World Cup, and Korea was rapidly emerging as a champion.

It was not wrong as they had already defeated the United States in the group stage.

However, Seo Moon-yeop was more interested in Pietro's work than the World Cup.

"Is there any news yet?"

-yes. I'm guessing he's still looking for his first high priest.

The Queen's voice was heard over the phone.

"Didn't you send it because you found out where it was? Why can't I find you all day?"

-I only received reports from the priests who followed the first senior priest. However, since it was a crucial tip, we should be able to trace the first high priest's whereabouts. The proof is that there is no news yet. Had he lost track or been in danger, he would have returned in no time.

"I guess so. Even if it is dangerous, you will have enough ability to escape."

Pietro became stronger after calling and absorbing the command of the 5th Higher Priest a while ago.

In addition, he thought that since the corrupted High Priest was his disciple, he would not be defeated by the disciple he taught.

'Of course, it takes a little 'oath'.'

-Oath: Pledge of allegiance to an existence beyond time and space by mortgaging your soul, and in return you get an aura that transcends the limit.

Among the psychic powers of the fallen high priest, the 'oath' was a mysterious thing that even Seo Moon-yeop could not be sure of.

Thanks to the effect of the 'Oath', he was already a corrupted High Priest who surpassed his limits and obtained an aura of 245/188.

But the problem was, I couldn't tell if the effect of the 'oath' would end with that.

I was worried that some existence beyond time and space, namely the king, could send me more power so that I could become stronger.

Pietro's skills are phenomenal, but even the monster of prophecy that claims to be a king knows no bounds.

Seo Mun-yeop, who finished talking to the queen, shook his head after thinking about it.

'Anyway, there's nothing I can say I'm worried about right now. Let's just practice.'

Seo Moon-yeop closed his eyes.

I was thinking of going to the spirit realm once more to train my mental powers.

Pietro, who had guided her to the spirit realm, was gone, but now it seemed like she could go there alone.

After going to the spirit realm once, I was just convinced that it would be possible.

'Let's meet the light of the beginning one more time. I'll have to see if there's another word besides throwing myself away.'

***

Dig!

Someone appeared by moving through space.

The one who appeared was Pietro.

After discovering and tracking the traces of the first high-ranking priest, it was here that he arrived.

It wasn't exactly the trace of the first senior priest. It was a trace left by the few priests who still followed him.

'Seeing that the people around me didn't pay attention to erasing the traces of their movement, it seems that they don't have the time or mental space to do so.'

With that certainty, Pietro sprayed a small aura with his finger and launched it into the air.

Aaaaaaa!

The aura became a bright light and spread all over the place.

As the light shone in the dark space without a single light, the surroundings were revealed.

Haunting ruins, presumably of some gigantic structure, have been revealed.

The building was so thoroughly destroyed that even its original shape was unknown, and only rubble piled up like a mountain could be seen.

Judging from the piled-up wreckage, it was possible to estimate the size of the original building.

Pietro inspected the wreckage one by one.

It was not broken into powder at all, because even a small piece could give clues to the architectural style.

'It's a fairly ancient form. It's a tomb in terms of scale.'

A huge puzzle was being put together in Pietro's head as he checked the pieces against others in the surrounding wreckage.

Roughly guessed, this was the tomb of an emperor during the imperial era, that is, the tomb.

It is believed that during the time lived in the Forsaken World, several kings were at war with each other.

Then, after leaving the abandoned world, the war ended, and the new leader called the emperor and subjugated all the forces that followed the existing 'kings'.

After that, the era of imperial rule was opened, and this was the tomb of an emperor at that time.

A period of confusion came after the Emperor Maninleung, and after that, the underground society was reorganized around the great priest. The title of emperor was also lost, and the ruler was relegated to a king instead.

In other words, this tomb was at least older than Maninreung.

Pietro recalled the vast amount of knowledge in his head and estimated the wreckage.

But that was then.

- Are you here?

The voice of the first senior priest was heard.
