It’s Not an Arena, It’s Survival

    It’s Not an Arena, It’s Survival.

    Arang and JAMIN’s meeting didn’t take long.

    The fewer the people, the faster the fog of death approaches.

    As Arang and JAMIN killed all the users in sight, the fog of death shrank twice as fast as in a normal round.

    “Heup!”

    “Euaak! Why the hell is JAMIN here-!”

    “This is f***ing insane…”

    “Everyone, deal with JAMIN first! If JAMIN’s here, we’re all doomed anyway!”

    Arang watched the users fighting hard at the edge of the fog of death.

    ‘My items have gotten better, but I can’t win if I keep fighting like this.’

    Judging by what they’re saying, I know JAMIN is a famous user, but I don’t know JAMIN-ssi.

    I don’t know what JAMIN’s specialty is or what JAMIN’s main job is.

    Earlier, when we fought, JAMIN was wielding a greatsword and fighting as a Greatswordsman, but pros can basically handle many jobs.

    ‘Can those users draw out JAMIN’s power?’

    At the very least, it’s beneficial to see JAMIN using other weapons.

    “Euaak!”

    “Seriously, how is this even possible, ooooooh!”

    Users being swept away in droves.

    But this isn’t an arena, it’s a battle royale survival.

    Kwaang!!!

    A huge magic spell struck JAMIN from afar.

    ‘Nice. Hang in there a little longer, guys! Then I should start getting ready.’

    ==

    Hoo… This should be enough, right?

    I nodded, looking at the pile of items stacked on the floor.

    The number of survivors is already down to 2. Only me and JAMIN are left.

    There were definitely 15 people at first, but things started going strangely wrong when the number dropped to 13 after 2 people died.

    The reason is the wedding invitation.

    Either I or JAMIN will win anyway. In other words, the guild interview given to the winner is out of the question.

    So what’s left?

    My wedding invitation, which you can get if you’re in the top 10.

    Originally, the goal was to kill JAMIN together, but from the moment 13 people were left, the users who were ganging up on JAMIN couldn’t help but look elsewhere.

    If only 3 more people die, I can be in the top 10? But JAMIN is in front of me, and I’m behind them.

    So what should I do?

    ‘If I kill a few of the guys right next to me, I can get the invitation, so I’ll betray them right away. Tsk. They couldn’t buy me a little more time.’

    The moment the top 10 were decided, they fought like crazy, so they couldn’t buy me as much time as I thought.

    I’m all prepared, but I was going to finish preparing and then figure out JAMIN’s fighting style, but oh well, I can’t help it.

    Should I head out now?

    I’ve prepared all the items to fight JAMIN.

    I walked towards JAMIN, who was loosening up.

    “You’re finally here?”

    “You’re too strong. I was trembling with fear.”

    “Eyy, you’re saying that with that expression?”

    I smiled and used a smoke bomb.

    Peong! Peopeopeopeong!!!

    Gray smoke burst out and began to fill the ruined city.

    “Are you trying to stall for time? Did you bring a lot of healing potions? You’re not thinking of making this boring, are you?”

    JAMIN’s voice cut through the smoke from the center of the cloud.

    Of course, that method is also possible.

    JAMIN has fought many users so far and used several healing potions.

    No matter how many healing potions JAMIN has, I’ll have more.

    But that’s no fun.

    The moment JAMIN used magic to blow the smoke away, I grabbed my dagger and charged straight in.

    ==

    “That’s more like it!”

    Seeing Arang rushing towards JAMIN, JAMIN shouted and swung the greatsword at Arang’s neck.

    Kaang!

    The greatsword bounced off with a refreshing sound.

    Perfect Parry.

    JAMIN smiled at Arang, who was charging in while maintaining Extrasensory Perception from the start.

    JAMIN didn’t bother trying to turn the bounced greatsword back around, but instead let go of the greatsword to avoid stiffness, and immediately pulled out a new greatsword.

    Arang’s left-hand dagger moved smoothly and cut JAMIN.

    It didn’t end there, and the right-hand dagger moved naturally. And the left-hand dagger, moving again, moved towards the gap in JAMIN’s defenses, who was moving to block the right-hand dagger.

    Arang’s dual swords moved so naturally, as if they were receiving system buffs, and began to overwhelm JAMIN.

    It didn’t seem like a person moving by their own will at all.

    -Wow… That’s so smooth? Is that really happening without system buffs?

    -At that level, wasn’t Arang an assassin in a past life for real?

    -But JAMIN, who is fighting that, is f***ing crazy

    “I’ve seen such insane talent-!!!”

    As JAMIN, who was being pushed back more and more, let out a roar, Arang’s body was pushed back slightly, and the combo was canceled.

    ‘Hoo… I guess it won’t end like this.’

    Unlike before, I was trying to gain a lot of advantage while maintaining Extrasensory Perception while JAMIN was still off guard, but I couldn’t gain as much advantage as I thought.

    ‘Then the next, second plan.’

    Tuk. Tuk.

    Arang, who had dropped the two daggers he was holding on the floor, took out a rare-grade one-handed sword that he had obtained earlier.

    “Hoo. Am I finally going to see Sword Master Arang in person?”

    “You should be nervous-okay!?”

    -Is Arang finally going into serious mode?

    -Arang is good at assassination, but Sword Master Arang is really f***ing skilled

    -Assassination is not very good at 1v1

    JAMIN, seeing Arang rushing towards JAMIN with a one-handed sword, also threw away the second greatsword and took out a one-handed sword from the inventory.

    “Actually, I’m more comfortable with a one-handed sword!”

    -Eua… Is JAMIN also a Sword Master after all

    -The incarnation of the arena, JAMIN Sword Master,ㄷㄷ. I don’t usually see it, but is JAMIN doing this seriously?

    “Gasp! JAMIN’s Sword Master, who is always in charge of one win in the World Championship multi-game series! JAMIN comes out with a different style every time, making the opponent’s analysis useless and showing overwhelming psychological warfare!”

    -Is that SpeeDWagon ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    -Yesol knows that kind of information really well ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    -ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    -But JAMIN’s Sword Master is that special

    -JAMIN’s win rate is about 90% even in the World Championship

    -ㄹㅇ Even pros feel like they’re giving JAMIN Sword Master one round

    ==

    ‘Is this even human?’

    Arang was dumbfounded as he maintained Extrasensory Perception and felt that he had transcended humanity, canceling pre-delay and post-delay and pouring out attacks, but JAMIN was blocking them.

    ‘Is this even human?’

    JAMIN, clenching his teeth and desperately blocking Arang’s attacks with all his might, was dumbfounded by Arang, who was faster, more concise, and more relentless than an artificial intelligence AI.

    But JAMIN knows that Arang in front of him is not an artificial intelligence, AI.

    JAMIN opened his body slightly.

    ‘As expected, Arang is still a child. And to rush in without missing this short moment. Amazing!’

    Seeing Arang rushing in as JAMIN expected, JAMIN smiled and swung his one-handed sword.

    Chwaak!

    JAMIN perfectly predicted Arang’s movements, to the point where it looked like Arang moved on his own to receive the attack.

    “It’s a shame, but this is the end.”

    JAMIN cut off Arang’s hand holding the one-handed sword, cut off Arang’s neck, which was in a state of stiffness, and was about to take the victory-

    Buung-!

    JAMIN’s greatsword cut through the air.

    “!? Wh, what the hell!?”

    It was definitely there until just now.

    Arang’s right hand, holding the one-handed sword, was there until just now.

    But it disappeared.

    “Secret Technique. Limb Severance.”

    Arang stepped on JAMIN’s one-handed sword, which was stuck in the floor because he couldn’t cut off his hand, and restored his right hand.

    In the arena, it is impossible to use the inventory, and the moment you drop your weapon, you may lose, but this is not an arena.

    Arang took out another one-handed sword from the inventory and grabbed it with his restored right hand.

    A one-handed sword shining with golden light.

    It was a legendary one-handed sword.

    ==

    -ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    -F***ing, is that coming out again?

    -Wasn’t that blocked by a patch?

    “I didn’t say I would block it. To be exact, I said I couldn’t block it.”

    Bae D덮개 clapped, applauding Arang’s Limb Severance secret technique, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.

    -Why?

    -That’s that

    -That?

    “That’s because it happens due to the body information check system of the access device itself.”

    “System?”

    Yesol, who was seeing the Limb Severance secret technique for the first time, didn’t understand.

    “Yeah. It’s a long story to explain… To put it simply, it’s like making your real body come out for a moment… something like that?”

    “That’s difficult…”

    “Yeah…”

    ==

    JAMIN received a lot of damage in an instant.

    If the equipment item grade was even one level lower, JAMIN would have died immediately.

    But JAMIN survived.

    ‘What the hell was that…?!’

    JAMIN was flustered by Arang’s strange technique that JAMIN had just seen.

    ‘What? Secret Technique. Limb Severance? Is it even possible to make a hand disappear and then reappear in the first place?’

    But Arang did it.

    ‘This isn’t good?’

    JAMIN, who had used several items before fighting Arang, no longer had enough items.

    But Arang clearly had plenty of items.

    ‘I have to push Arang without giving Arang time and prevent Arang from even drinking a healing potion.’

    Seueuk.

    A situation where they are glaring at each other, pointing their swords at each other.

    JAMIN has to drink a healing potion right now, but if JAMIN gets attacked in that gap, even if JAMIN blocks it, it’s not really blocking it.

    “Haeuh…”

    Arang grabbed his throbbing head.

    ‘Even if it’s menstruation, it’s hard to maintain it for this long. But.’

    This is not an arena.

    Arang smiled at JAMIN, who was watching for an opportunity to drink a healing potion.

    JAMIN felt something strange while looking at Arang.

    Arang took out a scroll containing the White Horse Rescue skill.

    ‘Why that?’

    The White Horse Rescue skill is a little different in Battle Royale Survival. Originally, the target had to be an ally, but in Battle Royale Survival, you can pull anything except enemies.

    What Arang pulled was none other than a box.

    “Eum?”

    “As expected, the last resort is quantity.”

    What was seen when Arang opened the box was none other than scrolls.

    And so many scrolls that they couldn’t be counted.

    Scrolls are good items that allow you to use magic without any restrictions, so you can only carry a maximum of 2 in your inventory.

    So, while JAMIN was fighting, Arang swept up the scrolls and put them into the box one by one.

    And towards the end of the fight, Arang brought the box with Rescue.

    ‘If I had used it from the beginning, it wouldn’t have done much damage. But now that my mental strength, concentration, and items are low, it will be difficult to deal with even scroll magic.’

    “C, coward-“

    “This isn’t an arena, is it?”

    Arang smiled and ate 2 scrolls from the box at a time, used them immediately, took out scrolls from the box again, used them again, ate scrolls again, and spammed magic at JAMIN.

    ‘I said I wouldn’t do a boring attrition battle. I never said I wouldn’t do this kind of fun cowardice.’
