Episode 190.

“… … ?”

The scenery changed in an instant.

Isin looked around.

A black-backgrounded corridor stretched out in front of Isin.

‘Where?’

No, before that, where are the other group?

Lee Shin whispered to Jeong Yu-ra.

but….

Tiring.

[The whisper function cannot be used in the Colosseum.]

[The map function cannot be used in the Colosseum.]

“!”

Disable maps and whispers.

This was a rare occurrence in some special dungeons.

A message he had seen earlier flashed through Isin’s mind.

[The entrance to the dungeon has been discovered.]

[Very notorious!]

[You are a descendant of Murseong. You will automatically enter the special dungeon, .]

[You cannot escape this special dungeon until you pass the Trial of Murder!]

“… … You came to the right place.”

I was flustered because I suddenly teleported, but after thinking about it calmly, I realized that this was the legacy that Salsung had left behind.

Yishin looked around again.

A space with nothing but a corridor extending forward.

‘But it’s the Colosseum?’

This must have been a waiting room, since the system couldn’t possibly be giving wrong information.

If you go to the end of the hallway, there will be an arena.

Then, naturally, the test of slaughter would be to fight and win against the opponent waiting in the arena.

I don’t know who the opponent is, but… .

‘You’ll know when you go.’

There is only one way anyway.

Since he had no other choice, Isin took a step forward without hesitation.

As we reached the end of the hallway, a huge circular stadium appeared.

As expected, this was the correct stadium.

but.

‘There is no opponent?’

An empty stadium.

On top of the large circular Colosseum, there was only Isin standing alone.

But after some time, a change came.

Woohoo!

“!”

The rippling void.

At the same time, a message appeared before Isin’s eyes.

[The first trial prepared by Salsung begins.]

[The great ancient swordsman, , is summoned to the arena!]

[Defeat him and pass the first trial!]

thud!

“Are you my opponent?”

The summoned opponent was a swordsman with a huge physique.

The opponent slowly approached the center, carrying a greatsword as tall as Isin on his shoulder, perhaps not a question that expected an answer.

Yishin lowered his posture and prepared for battle.

at the same time.

Tiring.

[Ancient power seeps into your body, causing temporary changes.]

[Level is adjusted.]

[Stats are adjusted.]

[This is a virtual space. Death here has no effect on you in reality.]

“… … Hmm? Status window.”

?Name: Lee Shin

?Level: 999

?Occupation: Murderer

?HP: 999,999?MP: 9,999

?Strength: 3,333?Agility: 9,999

? Stamina: 1,111 ? Wisdom: 0

?Living: 99,999

?Prestige: 0

?Notoriety: 9,999,999

“!!!!”

Isin opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Stats have gone up tremendously!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it had become hundreds of times stronger than its original power.

… … However, this also means that, on the other hand, you need to have these stats to be able to compete with the author.

It’s called a trial of murder, so there’s no way they made it so you can just press it with stats.

Isin’s gaze turned serious.

‘… … .’

Phew, exhale.

Capture the opponent’s entire body in your field of vision.

As concentration heightened, Isin’s senses began to sharpen.

“… … .”

There were two common methods used by Isin when meeting someone for the first time.

Either launch a preemptive strike before the opponent even realizes it, or slowly counter the opponent’s attacks and learn about the opponent.

In most cases, I prefer the former, but in times like now when it is clear that the opponent is not usually strong, the opposite is the case.

‘For now, let’s watch.’

Step one leg back.

At the same time, pull the sword towards your body.

This was a stance that could be seen mostly when Lee Shin was on the defensive.

This way, you can quickly react and respond to your opponent’s attacks at any time.

Bam.

“!”

The opponent lightly stomped his feet and rushed at Isin.

As the distance gets closer, he swings his greatsword.

For a split second, Isin was troubled.

Avoid or block it.

The reason I wanted to check this was because if it was an attack that could be blocked, there would be more things that Isin could do in the attack.

‘First, stop it.’

So, Lee Shin’s choice was the latter.

Yishin swung his sword and accurately struck his opponent’s sword.

At the same time, I used the skill at the right time when the swords met.

Blocks the opponent’s attack.

Afterwards, you will receive damage several times greater.

A counterattack obtained by completing the quest to eliminate your enemy.

This was the first time that the counterattack machine, which was already difficult to use in real combat, was being used in actual combat… .

Isin, who has an excellent sense of original PVP, succeeded perfectly in one go.

Wow!!!!

‘Okay!’

[You accurately blocked the opponent’s attack.]

[ activates, returning several times the damage!]

A thrilling sensation in your hand.

The corners of Isin’s mouth went up.

……but.

“Huh!? Hahaha!”

“!?”

The opponent seemed to stumble for a moment, but then quickly corrected his posture and swung his sword at Isin again.

Isin glared at the opponent’s absurd arguments, bewildered.

‘what!’

How are you moving?

I clearly saw blood at the corner of my mouth… … ?

But even in this state of confusion, Isin’s hands and feet steadily moved to block the opponent’s attacks.

“Ugh!”

Isin, who had naturally taken two steps back, swung his sword diagonally upward from below.

It was a trajectory that perfectly blocked the opponent’s sword.

Movements engraved on the body!

If there was any dignity in being ranked number one in the arena, it was dignity.

But this time, this quick reaction actually turned out to be poisonous.

Wow!!!

“omg?!”

The tingling sensation felt the moment swords touch.

A gasp came out of Isin’s mouth reflexively.

Before he could even sense that something was wrong, an ominous warning message popped up before Isin’s eyes.

[Defense successful…]

[The opponent’s power is overwhelming!]

[Defense fails.]

[Suffered massive damage.]

[The weapon’s durability is greatly reduced.]

[Status abnormality, … …]

‘… … This crazy!?’

As he flew backwards, Isin glanced at his health bar and was shocked.

Stamina lost almost half!

Even though it was clearly blocked, the damage was this much.

‘If only it had just happened….’

Then I would have died.

[Legends don’t fall easily!]

[ removes this status effect.]

Thanks to the skill, I wasn’t paralyzed, but it was clear that this was a more difficult opponent than I had imagined, befitting the trial.

And in fact, most of the original legendary job quests were like this.

Although Lee Shin didn’t know, there’s a reason why other legendary class users devote themselves to quests for months.

Of course, this was a quest that could not receive help from the guild, so it was difficult to directly compare them with Isin… .

Anyway, the overall difficulty level was about this difficult.

“What? It’s over already?”

“!”

Guillotine approaches leisurely, carrying a greatsword on his back.

Isin took a slight step back and adjusted his grip on his sword.

Lee Shin thought to himself as he recalled the situation from earlier.

‘The difference in stats is too great. … … You can’t just block it, you have to dodge it all or block it with a counterattack.’

In the meantime, you have to attack from time to time.

It wasn’t an impossible level of difficulty for someone confident in single-player combat, but… .

Considering the opponent’s toughness, I had no choice but to prepare for a long battle.

“…after.”

Yishin’s eyes sank.

After a short exhale, the new form of Isin and Guillotine disappeared.

* * *

Phew!

[Critical damage!]

[Knocked down the opponent.]

[Win the battle!]

“Ugh… .”

A backwards guillotine.

Soon his new form crumbled into dust and disappeared.

Only then did Isin let out a ragged breath and slump down in his seat.

“Gasp, gasp… .”

A battle that lasted over an hour.

Although I was prepared, my opponent was so strong that it took a very long time for a winner to be determined.

But in the end, the winner was Lee Shin.

Yishin took full advantage of his superior agility and counterattack skills to strike and retreat, gradually accumulating damage before delivering a fatal blow and winning.

‘This is the first…?’

We won, but I’m starting to get a little worried about our next opponent.

If the difficulty of the first trial was like this, I wondered how difficult the ones that came after would be.

‘… … .’

Lee Shin lay there just like that.

But that wasn’t the only thing to be concerned about.

The rewards were definitely commensurate with the difficulty level.

Tiring.

“……huh?”

[The great ancient barbarian warrior, Guillotine, has been defeated.]

[You gain 10 undistributed stats.]

[A great achievement! You gain the title, .]

Guillotine was the undisputed king of the Colosseum. Countless challengers had fallen to his greatsword as cold corpses.

You, who have achieved victory over him, are already worthy of being called a warrior.

?Warriors do not fight cowardly. They become stronger in 1v1 situations.

[Additionally acquired undistributed stats and titles will not disappear even after the trial ends.]

“!!!”

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

Stats and titles that do not disappear even after the trial ends.

You may wonder how much sense one title and 10 undistributed stat points have… .

That wasn’t the point.

‘This was step 1.’

What if all the subsequent trials had rewards like this?

And what if the rewards get better as you level up?

‘… … This is awesome!’

Lee Shin’s tired body was re-energized.

Then the story changes.

The more trials you have left, the more rewards you can take home with you will increase exponentially.

Woohoo!

“!”

[The second trial of murder begins.]

[Archer in the Mist, Helena, is summoned to the arena.]

[The terrain of the arena changes slightly.]

[Defeat Helena and pass the second trial of the assassin!]

* * *

Meanwhile, when Isin is undergoing trials in the Colosseum.

Someone also approached Jeong Yu-ra and Gil Ra-im, who were waiting for Isin outside.

“……hmm?”

A presence felt from far away.

Gilaim stood up from his seat.

“why?”

“Someone is coming.”

“Then shall I leave for a moment?”

Gilaim shook his head.

“… … No, that can’t be.”

Because this god hasn’t returned yet.

Given the circumstances, I assumed he was sucked into the dungeon alone and that he would come out on his own after some time… .

What if that’s not the case?

Just in case, Gilaim wanted to guard this place until Isin appeared again.

“You said it might be Yeongji-gun?”

“Maybe not. There’s only one. It’s possible he’s just an adventurer.”

“Users are in a place like this… … ?”

Could there really be three such people?

Jung Yu-ra tilted her head, but surprisingly, Gil Ra-im’s words were right.

What appeared in front of them was actually a user.

Even.

“… …Jung Yu-ra?”

“Yes. Huh?! Do you know me?”

“… … .”
