‘Ah fuck! With a build that big, that speed is a cheat!’
Bae Sinhyo was someone loved by his constellation. Even when they were close, he used to spout blessed complaints every few days about being stressed from the constellation giving him quests.
At the time, they were violent quests that incited fighting so he mostly refused them, but now that he’d overcome his weakness, they would have become a shortcut to growth.
Pyeonghwa guessed he had many hidden passive skills. That’s why he’d publicly declared he wouldn’t use active skills. Petty bastard!
“Ah fuck! Just… get away!”
“You, just get caught!”
Bae Sinhyo stuck close behind him. He alternated stretching out both hands at tremendous speed as if to grab any part.
Pyeonghwa barely dodged while lowering the hammer. He couldn’t easily counterattack because it seemed like the weapon would be stolen if the hammer got caught.
Even using Return Link, he couldn’t escape because it didn’t differ much from his position 10 seconds ago. The missiles would launch when he swung the hammer at the ground, but he absolutely couldn’t find an angle.
Tak!
“Caught…!”
“Think so?”
Click!
Bae Sinhyo grabbed Pyeonghwa’s forearm and pulled him toward himself. Pyeonghwa separated the armor part of his combat suit, pulled out his arm, then slipped right through under his armpit. At the same time, he gripped the hammer’s shaft diagonally and struck his side.
‘Crazy! He dodged that?’
Did he have eyes on the back of his head or something? Without even looking at the impact point, Bae Sinhyo lightly twisted his body and neutralized Pyeonghwa’s attack.
[lol what can Pax do]
[A real genius met a fake genius]
[Wow I can feel him gradually pressuring, it’s fucking scary lol not using skills and threw away his weapon too]
[Pyeonghwa beg for forgiveness you’re gonna get beat to death]
[Yeah give up, at least you won with your face]
[lololololololololol]
Unlike Pyeonghwa who was sweating and gasping, Bae Sinhyo’s breathing hadn’t wavered at all. Even viewers could see Pyeonghwa was very disadvantaged, so endless mockery continued.
‘Got it!’
Pyeonghwa didn’t spare a glance at the chat window and created distance while being wary of Bae Sinhyo. Finally the distance had widened enough to shoot missiles.
Pyeonghwa grinned and raised the hammer high into the air. Pink electrical currents crackling as if about to burst at any moment surrounded the hammer.
Whiiik! Kwaaang!
“Roasted piiiig!”
Pyeonghwa violently struck the ground with the hammer. The ground caved in and crack, fissured.
Click! Simultaneously the hammer’s head opened and the internal missile ports were revealed. The loaded missiles burst out consecutively, emitting light.
<Active Skill 「Lightning Strike Lv.1」
For 5 seconds, all bullets, arrows, and projectiles are coated with electricity and fired.
Struck enemies immediately enter electrocuted state and receive electric damage.
Electrocuted enemies receive 12% increased damage for 5 seconds.
Cooldown 1 minute>
Eight missiles wrapped in the Lightning Strike skill poured toward Bae Sinhyo with flashy electrical effects.
Kwaang!
When one missile fell, the view flashed and a thunderclap sound echoed through the arena. Hazy dust swirled so thickly nothing could be seen ahead.
Kwaang!
Seeing the second missile explode on the other side, Bae Sinhyo seemed to be continuously moving.
Kwang! Kwaaang!
Spectators covered their ears. Now Bae Sinhyo and Pyeonghwa were barely visible even on screen.
[Bae Sinhyo won’t have bones left lol]
[What is that weapon? Missiles suddenly came out]
[Just the weapon alone won’t produce that firepower, seems like he used a skill too]
[As expected Pax is fun because he has one-shots]
[Ah– I have earphones on and my ears are tearing]
Kwaaang!
Pyeonghwa listened to the sound of missiles falling to grasp Bae Sinhyo’s position and ran to the opposite side. Five had fallen, so three remained.
Even if Bae Sinhyo survived, he couldn’t have dodged all the missiles. Pyeonghwa giggled imagining Bae Sinhyo covered in blood.
Kwaaang! Kwaaang!
‘Now the last one!’
While tensely waiting for the last missile, a faint red light flickered in the hazy dust. Pyeonghwa flinched and swung his hammer. Did I see wrong? The red light vanished in an instant.
Pyeok!
“Kkeok!”
He hadn’t seen wrong. Bae Sinhyo, who’d somehow gotten behind him, roughly kicked aiming at Pyeonghwa’s waist like kicking a soccer ball. And the very moment Pyeonghwa’s body floated up.
Kwaaang!
The last missile stuck into the ground. Pushed by the blast pressure, Pyeonghwa flew for a while and was thrown onto the floor. Cement fragments that flew together struck Pyeonghwa’s head with a thud.
“Agh! Fucking hurts…!”
Even with stimulation sensitivity at 50%, the pain was tremendous. Blood flowing down covered one eye. Pyeonghwa wiped the blood with the back of his hand and got up.
He’d dropped the hammer while flying, but couldn’t see where it was because of the rising dust. Pyeonghwa nervously swallowed saliva and returned toward where the explosion occurred to find his weapon.
Seeing how quiet Bae Sinhyo was, he thought he was either dead or had sustained major injuries.
‘…If he’d just held on, we’d die together, so why did he kick me away?’
Unease descended coolly down his spine. In a situation where a missile explosion was predicted, kicking the enemy to send him elsewhere wasn’t like him. Even if Bae Sinhyo was stupid, he was someone who knew how to win.
“……”
The pitch-black hammer entered Pyeonghwa’s view. And also the large form of Bae Sinhyo sitting astride it with legs spread.
“Ha……”
Pyeonghwa let out a helpless breath. Unlike himself covered in dust and blood, Bae Sinhyo was just as when he’d started.
“Is it over? Let’s fight now, Noh Pyeonghwa.”
Bae Sinhyo lifted one corner of his mouth and sneered. Though Pyeonghwa immediately used Return Link to retreat to his position from 10 seconds ago, the distance difference wasn’t large. Bae Sinhyo kicked off the ground and flew like a shot, grabbed Pyeonghwa’s neck, and smashed him into the ground.
Kwang!
“Khheuk! Khaek, cough, cough!”
While reflexively coughing as his throat constricted sharply, Bae Sinhyo’s large fist mercilessly poured onto his face.
Pyeok! Puk! Puk! Pyeoeok!
“Kkeu-ah! It hurts, I said it hurts! Kheuk, you bastard!”
“What hurts? Don’t exaggerate with sensitivity at fifty, bastard!”
“If you’re gonna kill me, kheuk! Hurry up and kill me!”
“You know why I threw away my weapon and saved you from the missiles? To slowly, with my fists, crush you like this!”
The hazy dust gradually cleared. The audience could finally see the match situation. The square ring was completely shattered to pieces, and in one corner, Bae Sinhyo was mounted on top of Pyeonghwa swinging his fists.
“Agh! Kkeuh! Th, then not the face, kkeuok! Hit somewhere else! No, noona is watching!”
“Ha, just how many girls do you have? You said you’d live keeping your integrity, but you’ve become a womanizer!”
Even covered in blood, Pyeonghwa didn’t stop talking. As if to break such Pyeonghwa’s spirit, Bae Sinhyo concentrated on striking only his face.
[Wow crazy lol]
[How did he not get hit even once??? Did he use a skill???]
[Bae Sinhyo’s skill effects are so fucking big you can’t not know, he just dodged everything right?]
[Kya~~ first time since Yoon Gyeom seeing Pax get beat lol]
[Womanizer punishment punch nice~]
Crack!
His jawbone and cheekbone were crushed, but Pyeonghwa’s eyes still gleamed fiercely. This time he broke his high nose bridge. Double nosebleeds trickled down both sides. Still, when the light in his eyes didn’t die, Bae Sinhyo changed direction to attack his appearance pride.
“Noh Pyeonghwa, aren’t you fucking ugly right now?”
“Kkeuh, what…?”
“All your face bones are crushed and it’s swelling up, it’s fucking gross. Wow, even that noona person’s affection will drop completely if she sees this,”
“……!”
Pyeonghwa stopped his chattering mouth and widened his eyes as if shocked. Smack! Bae Sinhyo slapped Pyeonghwa’s cheek with his palm while warning.
“Come to your senses and live now, bastard. If you keep being a womanizer, I’ll smash your face in reality too, so know that……”
“Noooo!”
Pyeonghwa cut off mid-sentence and cried out desperately. His face was more contorted in pain than when getting hit. When pitiful tears gushed from Pyeonghwa’s eyes, Bae Sinhyo’s shoulders flinched.
Crack!
“…Hey, fuck! Noh Pyeonghwa!”
Pyeonghwa bit his tongue with all his might. His tongue was cleanly severed and blood gushed out.
The HP that had been shaved down more than half by Bae Sinhyo’s punches began to rapidly decrease. Pyeonghwa deliberately breathed to let the blood pooling in his mouth enter his airway.
Bae Sinhyo’s face full of absurdity gradually blurred.
[Couldn’t endure ugliness and suicide ending]
[What kind of guy is that lololololol]
[lmfao lololololol]
[Bae Sinhyo’s expression lol even winning he looks pissed lol]
Because Pyeonghwa ended the broadcast without notice, the chat window was cut off. In the arena, only participating players could broadcast match footage, and only self-cams were possible from the audience seats, so viewers couldn’t see the scene after that. Viewers immediately moved to the broadcast of a famous BJ who turned on a self-cam from the audience.
-Bae Sinhyo versus Pax! The winner of the Death Match is…… Bae Sinhyo!
The referee announced Bae Sinhyo’s victory. BJ CardCaptorChanmi jumped up and cheered together with the spectators.
