Chapter 283 (1/2)

“Ugh.”

Strong. The Zhen Sulong who appeared in front of me was truly strong. The child who needed to be protected in the North Pole not long ago was no more—in front of me stood a warrior, and his name was Zhen Sulong. The sound of thunder was heard from the sky. It was the sound of Zhen Sulong’s fist.

“Huup!”

I couldn’t help moaning as the power of the thunderbolt became stronger. Still, I smiled the moment I heard the sound. I had heard about the words from Zhen Sulong’s teacher. I was glad that my little brother was able to keep his will to become thunderbolt, not lightning.

It was a joy I felt from man to man, not older brother to little brother. Thus, I wanted to congratulate him.

The sharply forged white thunderbolt pierced the sun dragon’s mouth and thunder was heard every time it entered. This didn’t mean that I gave up. Zhen Sulong might have a reason not to lose, but I didn’t think my reason was any less lacking.

“Ohhhh!”

My right foot ignored the burning sensation and swept away the thunderbolt. The ends of my clothing were ragged and burned. The thunderbolt and storm of the sun shook my white hair as the massive turbulence and fluctuation of magic power constantly erupted around us.

“Ohhh!”

Zhen Sulong shouted like he was also unwilling to lose. He came closer than before. It was as if the sluice was opened and his penetration speed became faster.

I thought in my head about all the things I could do now. Shadow Play had already been used and I couldn’t call Punghee and Chunza. They weren’t strong enough yet to endure the thunderbolts. So what should I do? How could I win? Suddenly, I noticed a ring on my finger. Yes. If it was this...!

[Solomon’s Ring is preparing Eyes of Judgment.]

[The ring has observed the user ‘Zhen Sulong.’]

The magic that stretched out from the ring swirled around Zhen Sulong’s body. I wanted to cry out, ‘That’s it!’

However, Zhen Sulong’s eyes were still indifferent. He was truly a man of conviction. It was a mentality that didn’t dismiss the enemy in front of him.

[The user ‘Zhen Sulong’ doesn’t have a favorite person.]

Huh?

[The favorite thing of user ‘Zhen Sulong’ is the word ‘training.’]

What was this?

[You haven’t ruled the target as a ‘couple.’]

[The use of the skill will be canceled.]

The magic of the ring surrounding Zhen Sulong scattered and disappeared. This was crazy. No, he had never liked anyone or an NPC while playing the game? He wasn’t married yet, right? What was this...?

“Ah...”

There was a flash in front of my eyes. My body became cold as there was the sensation of something piercing it.

* * *

-......!

-......!

-......!

A breathless tension slowly swept through the stadium. An hour long bloody struggle. It was a true battle between the strong. The duel was enough to be called a sacred duel between warriors and it made people sweat.

Choi Chuntaek used his ultimate move, the sun dragon. Zhen Sulong faced the sun dragon with a fist covered with a huge thunderbolt. The screen flashed after the fierce fighting and no one could pinpoint the winner. Who had won? Who was the truly strong one...?

Gulp.

In the midst of the breathtaking tension, Mido gulped. Park Muyeol breathed deeply and slowly as the tension drained out of his body. “...Sigh.”

He was sighing, but Park Muyeol was truly amazed. He hadn’t expected that Zhen Sulong would do so well against Choi Chuntaek. Zhen Sulong became stronger as he fought and Park Muyeol thought that he should change his evaluation of Zhen Sulong once again. This was a true warrior who knew how to enjoy fighting. Park Muyeol never imagined that Zhen Sulong would drive Chuntaek to this point.

“Who won...?” Mido asked without taking her eyes off the screen.

“...I also don’t know.”

“Ah, please. Grandfather has to win.”

Mido held both hands together like she was praying. Mido prayed earnestly that her grandfather would win. She might not believe in God, but she wanted to believe he was listening to her words. She couldn’t think of the Korean team without her grandfather. Her grandfather’s presence was so huge. It was the same for the other team members.

At this moment—

“Ah.”

“Ah!”

“Ah...!”

A sound broke the silence of the stadium. It was the sound of a capsule opening. It also declared that the winner and loser had been decided. Exclamations of ‘ah’ burst out. It was a mixture of admiration and regret.

“Ah...”
