Even though I only heard the voice, a man wearing a fedora concluding his comment with a gentlemanly greeting came to mind.

‘It’s completely different from the image I had in mind. It feels different from the host…’

With those words, countless multi-colored wisps filling the stands of the huge amphitheater appeared at once.

‘W-what is this? There are so many, right? ‘This is something that can’t possibly exist.’

It was strange that so many things were recognized.

“There’s something strange about the sense of space here. There would never be a space that could accommodate hundreds of millions of people and this number of spectators in the form of ghosts.”

It’s not working, but it’s working.

“Ugh… But I’ve been feeling dizzy for some reason, and my body feels a bit strange… I don’t know if I can use the trait properly.”

“I’m not in very good shape either. I think it’s been that way since the moment I recognized that monster…”

Both of them are probably in the top 1% in terms of ability, but I can’t believe they reacted like this. In particular, Kahi looked to be in bad condition.

‘You said it wouldn’t be easy, but what kind of device is there? It doesn’t have that much of an impact on me, hmm…’

“I think what’s important is whether or not you can show off your skills properly.”

I guess there were a lot of people like Kahi and Hongseol who were unwell, and there were also people who stumbled and fell.

“I think it’s because of that monster…”

I definitely felt like my strength was being drained even if I concentrated just a little bit on that guy’s energy.

“It’s a monster in another sense, being able to affect all the people in this large space.”

And although not as much as Kahi or Hong Seol, I gradually felt that it was affecting me as well.

“I’ll go right away without wasting time. Get ready.”

Still, why not fight that guy?

Beep!

With the sound of a signal suddenly ringing, the people in the stadium began to slowly move to the center, looking around.

“It’s really dizzying, I feel like there are thousands of people overlapping with me. I don’t know if I can measure the deal properly if I do this.”

I quickly hugged Kahi and Hongseol’s waist and closed the distance between them.

It would be surprising if someone suddenly grabbed their waist, but it seemed like it was difficult for the two to come to their senses anymore.

“Huuuk…Huu…”

“Haa…”

This won’t work. Attack both of them quickly and finish it…

“Gahi, start first!”

“Yes…”

Soon, the singer’s body struggled to separate itself from the ground, and a huge window was created in the sky.

Soon, the Wrath of God, whose attack power was greatly increased by wearing two mob stone rings, spun towards the monster and fell.

Shhhhh-

Quaaa!

I thought the golden spear, which I am now more familiar with, would make the monster disappear without a trace.

“Haa…Haa…What is it? There’s no reaction, that…”

“······ It must be something like invincibility…”

I wanted to believe that. I couldn’t believe that the attack of our team’s strongest dealer didn’t even make a small dent.

I wonder if we have considered the characteristics of singers too sacred.

Or maybe this unknown debuff that I can’t detect even with my eyes affects the characteristics themselves.

An even more surprising thing happened after that.

While everyone in the stadium was momentarily mesmerized by the strange phenomenon of being able to see each and every characteristic clearly as long as they concentrated, even though they were attacking the monster from all directions with a huge variety of attack characteristics, it fell from the sky again.

“Ha…? Is that the same as mine?”

Two golden spears were falling on the monster again.

‘As expected, it has the same characteristics… Although at first glance it seems weaker than the Gahee’s.’

The overall shape was clearly the same, but the feel was distinctly different.

‘I would say there are at least 3 people with special characteristics.’

And Hong Seol, who was next to him, was holding a bow and concentrating all his magical power.

‘I’m also curious about the Hongseol single dildo.’

Recently, only those who were flying were shooting with tweezers, so they must have fought by splitting their magical energy into extremely small pieces.

Hongseol’s bow trembled for a moment as if it was going to explode, and then an arrow of magical energy burning red like the sun flew towards him.

‘The bow’s condition is not good… I need to buy an Aeros bow after seeing the supply and demand of points this time.’

Sssss!-

Fuuu!

In an instant, the monster’s entire body was engulfed in flames and burning brightly, but it was fine in the blink of an eye, as if it had never happened.

‘It looks like the ranged dealers are over, so I guess I’ll have to go too. I don’t know what the reason is, but it doesn’t seem to take any damage from other characteristics.’

“How much is the deal, sister?”

“Um… Wouldn’t it be the order for you to speak first?”

“Tch… That’s 277,452.”

Kahi, who recited the numbers like a soldier saying the number of a gun, gestured at Hongseol as if nothing had happened.

[I shout to myself to please come a little lower than me.]

‘······ You were secretly doing a lot of Hongseol rituals, weren’t you?’

-Chiit

Hongseol pursed his lips for a moment as if he was upset about something, then spoke with his characteristic vocalization.

“202,111…”

-!

“Huh? Sister? I can’t hear very well. How much?”

“Get out…”

Pisik-

‘You two are playing well. Well, that level of rivalry seems healthy. Even considering that Kahi is in worse condition, the difference in scores is not much. Well, Hongseol has good sustained damage, so if I had set the time and used the total damage, the result would have been completely different.’

And then I walked forward one step at a time and after a while I stood in front of the monster.

The guy slowly looked up as if he was aware of my presence.

‘Wow, it really looks like it’s difficult… Thank you for increasing my combat power’

And then he began to gather all the magical power within his body.

‘Let’s do this right this once…’

I was curious too. My attack power quantified.

I wrapped only the minimum amount of magical energy on my arm for protection, and gradually concentrated the remaining 300 magical energy into my right fist.

“Fighting, uncle…”

“······”

I couldn’t see them, but I could feel them both looking at me earnestly.

‘Ha… But I’m a little scared. I’ve never unleashed 300 magical powers in one shot… Should I add more protection?’

But is it because it seems like there are many competitors around us making strong attacks? Uncharacteristically, my passion for victory boiled over and I pushed ahead.

Suppressing his nervous mind, he grabbed his fist with his left hand and pulled it sharply backwards.

His left leg fell off the ground, and his pulled arm and leg stretched forward as if they were being thrown out with all their might.

“aaah!”

With a powerful sound of energy, my fist hit the shield on his face and exploded, and at that moment, his energy enveloped my entire body.

And then I met the gaze of the guy whose degenerated eyes were barely visible.

‘Why are you looking at me with such sad eyes?’

– Fuuu!

– I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

His lightning bolt shot out with a terrible roar as his fist landed right between the guy’s eyes, creating a huge shock wave and sending him flying back for a long time.

– Kwadangtangtang!

“Chulhuuu g huh… That’s strange? That guy’s energy… I feel like I’ve felt it somewhere before. uuu-!”

Chiriririririt-!

“Keuuu!”

Perhaps it was greed, as a terrible pain that I had never felt before struck me. He stretched out on the floor and rolled around for a moment in pain as if thousands of needles had been inserted into his arm and twisted and turned.

“Mister! Are you okay?!”

“Eungyeon! Potions! Ugh! The store isn’t open!”

“Ugh… Gwae, it’s okay. Just get some rest, hehehehe…”

I let out a deep sigh as I saw that not only his right fist but also his shoulder had turned blue.

“Ha… But I’m glad the pain didn’t last long.”

“Hasn’t the pain in your arm gotten better?”

“I think I was a little greedy.”

“I don’t think it’s necessary to get compensation while hurting Eungyeon’s body.”

“Yes, I’ll be careful next time.”

‘No problem, I can’t stand special compensation!’

I don’t know what the reward is, but it must be different from the host.

‘What happened to the monster?’

As expected, the monster didn’t take any damage, and there was only a small crack in the shield where I hit it.

“f*ck… Barely that?”

“We couldn’t even break through, but the captain is different, hehehehe.”

“It’s because we’re both in bad condition. Normally, we would have done better than me.”

“So, what is Eungyeon’s score?”

‘Hong Seol, you say you’re afraid of me, but you don’t even bother to ask questions.’

A message just popped into my head.

The amount of damage done to player Eun Gyeon [Corrupted ** ****] Is 2,007,701.

“············ Huh?”

“Huh? Why, mister? It came out low? It can’t be that way?”

“··· Is it by any chance the result is absurdly high?”

“···Yes…”

‘My attack power is this much different from those two? Even considering that the two suddenly became unwell, this…’

“It is 2,007,701···.”

“Wow! Really? Wow! I’m crazy!”

“Oh my god… How on earth is such a score possible?… What did I do…”

“···”

I wonder if I can tell…

As I looked around without focus for a moment, I saw ghostly lights fluttering loudly and burning high.

‘For some reason, I feel like he’s looking at me. Is it because of my mood?’

I slowly raised my arm.

Then the will-o’-the-wisps burned even louder.

‘This, this! Time to perform! Is it possible to get sponsorship?!’

At that moment, like a barbarian, he raised his left hand to tear off his jacket.

Bleep!

‘…Is this really the end? ‘What’s so boring?’

Well, I didn’t expect a mass slaughter to unfold, but it ended so quickly that I was shocked.

At the sound of the host’s voice, my body folded back and forth for a split second, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw a quite familiar scene.

“Wow! Is it finished already?”

“What happened? What was the result?”

Eun-chae and Eun-cheol run over to ask questions.

“Didn’t you see it?”

“Yes… They didn’t show us!”

“That’s too much, hehehehe… I wanted to see you and Kahi in action.”

Why did they block watching games again? They run it the way they like.

‘It’s a shame that you couldn’t see my wonderful side…’

“Let’s go to the kitchen first, everyone.”

Now that the event is over, let’s have a party!

Gulp-

As I was moving around and absorbing the potion, I heard a message.

“Oh my God…”

– Kyaaa!

– Wow, that’s awesome!

– Kyahahahahaha funny!

‘Burn 2.5 Million points in one event? And that’s an attack, you just hit it once? See the organizer Class. And…’

Of course, not all other teams received this, and the reward was high because we did well, but the scale of the reward was still special.

And it wasn’t over yet.

– hahahahaha! Eunchae, I’m rich!

– Did you receive it yourself? It’s awesome!!

‘Oh, this wasn’t coming under the ownership of the shelter. But is Kahi only ranked 97th?

“Ssi… I’m eliminated…”

Hong Seol’s angry voice was heard, but the word elimination was a bit absurd.

“It’s a shame Hong Seol’s life has ended.”

“··· Well, I should have come to my senses more, but it’s a shame.”

If Hong Seol had been wearing another ring, the result might have been different. Sheesh!

Wow!!!

Wow!

As expected, the leader! All time number one!

With the message, the people at the shelter went crazy again, and a list of special rewards appeared in my head.

Choose 1 out of 3 rewards

1. Attribute limit expansion ticket (20-＞40)

2. Resurrection ticket for the deceased (used immediately upon purchase)

3. Ticket to purchase a piece of Chaos Lord Legion Commander Lihlimo’s full armor

“20 Characteristics were the limit?… There was also the right to resurrect the dead…”

When I tell people about the threshold for trait number 1, they react by saying they had no idea.
