Returner of the Colosseum

＜ Episode 83. Two people who look alike (7) ＞

The lowest layer of the demon realm.

With one hand on his chin, the king forcibly approached the Colosseum system and was watching a higher league game.

To be precise, the appearance of An Woo-jin.

The king’s purple eyes gleamed eerily as he looked at him.

After staring blankly for a while, the king smiled faintly.

“I hope you like the present.”

* * *

-Khehehehe. Adenmahara managed to figure it out with just a hint.

The devil grinned, revealing his pointy teeth.

Red eyes and small horns on top of his head.

Sharp protruding fingernails.

250cm is a gigantic figure that looks like it will go out, and even a rugged body.

‘Is that guy… Legia?’

Its appearance had become so grotesque that it was impossible to tell that it was Legia.

It’s to the point where you wonder if he’s the guy who puts on perfume and pays too much attention to his appearance.

‘What happened?’

He must have died by my hand.

with the throat pierced.

At that time, even the bloody recovery message popped up, so there was no need to doubt it.

So it was more of a question.

‘If you die… Wasn’t it going to either the afterlife or the Colosseum?’

When the circuit breaker was triggered, the system was clear.

He told them to kill the demons ‘summoned’ to Eden.

That means he came from the Demon Realm.

I spat out a word as if nothing was wrong.

“The Demon Realm seems to be able to survive. I see you’ve gained more weight than before.”

―Whoops, you knew I went to the Demon Realm. So, I figured it out right away.

‘I could go to the Demon World if I die.’

It was a fact I didn’t know.

―Whoops, I’m getting a lot better treatment than those four clowns in heaven. We are endowed with power simply by blindly obeying God.

“I don’t think I’m very strong for something like that.”

Then the devil put one hand on his forehead and laughed out loud.

-Khehehehe. Let’s see if I can say that right before I die.

The boy raised one corner of his mouth.

Obvious ridicule.

That was exactly what I wanted to say to him.

‘Let’s see if I can make that expression right before I die.’

I was able to infer two facts from the guy’s conversation.

The first is that there is no system like the Colosseum in the Pandemonium.

The meaning of playing clowns is probably sarcastic toward us who play in the Colosseum.

and.

‘It seems that the existence of God artificially grants power.’

I don’t know what mechanism was used to grant the power, but it meant that if the resource was abundant, it could be a high-ranking or transcendental level.

that’s a bit embarrassing

‘I got good information.’

well anyway

For me, who will continue to meet and fight demons, this was really valuable information.

With this, I learned everything I needed to know about him.

Kwajijijijijijijik!

Now, all that remains is to kill him.

―When I met the guy I had been longing for, I must have talked too much. Now, let’s see how strong you are.

As if the devil had the same thoughts as me, the black magic gathered in both nails.

‘You can’t face each other. First of all, waiting for the other players to gather!’

Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!

Chaeeng! visor! Chaechaechaeng! visor!

The demon rushed in at breakneck speed, swinging its claws and pushing me.

Certainly, since he had higher stats than me in every way, each attack was fierce and heavy.

It’s hard enough to deal with alone.

but.

‘It’s nothing.’

It wasn’t just me here.

Teruomi, Emmet, Kochiu and even Kiara.

As I started to clash with the demon, the four top players were approaching at high speed.

The situation is that the duration of the Blood Enhancement perk is also sufficient.

If I formed a formation with my party members and dealt with him, I thought I would be able to defeat him.

“Len! We will help too!”

“You’ve had a hard time dealing with him alone!”

From noble mtl dot com

Just in time, the party members who took care of the soldiers and joined them.

I was able to catch my breath as Teruomi and Emmett started attacking me like crazy, surrounding the demon.

“What about the lower players I sent?”

“I sent them safely out of the castle.”

“Thank you, Kiara. Then I will entrust the enemy soldiers to you two.”

After bowing lightly to Kiara, I ran towards the demon again.

Kwajijijijijijijik!

visor! Chae Chaeng! visor!

Let go of the idea of attacking.

For now, only thorough support.

When performing a pincer attack in such a narrow space, the most important thing was one.

‘Teruomi and Emmit’s attack is enough.’

not being greedy.

As soon as I joined, the three of us pincers became as natural as flowing water.

To keep the lines from twisting, they fell back whenever necessary.

If there was a dangerous moment for the two of them, they covered it.

Space was cut to make the attack more efficient.

‘I’m perplexed.’

My super senses told me exactly when to get out and when to go in.

ping! ping! ping! ping! ping! ping! ping!

Kochiu’s arrow flew toward me.

He didn’t attack me.

just.

hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked!

He expected me to avoid it, and only shot the arrow at the most lethal part.

―Keugh!

Because I was blocking my view, the demon couldn’t dodge any of Kochiu’s arrows.

arms, thighs, and shoulders.

Arrows were stuck everywhere, staggering his body.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

At the same time, Kiara’s water attribute magic flew in.

‘It’s quite a bit.’

Even though we met for the first time today, like top players, we knew from experience how to act in certain situations and when.

At that moment, Teruomi rushed towards the demon like the wind, leaving behind an afterimage.

“I will finish!”

It was when he was about to strike the sword at the demon.

Awesome!

Teruomi’s chest was cut by the claws that the devil wielded as he struggled.

Well, it wasn’t even a level of injury.

I wonder if it was just raw.

‘What are you doing?’

However, the devil’s next action was strange.

He licked the blood on his fingernails with his tongue.

Even in the desperate situation where Teruomi was attacking.

‘There’s something.’

If not, there’s no way I would do something like that.

I immediately shouted at the party members.

“Fall backwards…”

It was then.

Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!

The demon left an afterimage and rushed at me like the wind, brandishing its claws.

‘The Teruomi skill I just wrote!’

Awesome!

Because the attack was so sudden, I also cut my forearm with the devil’s claw.

“…!”

“…!”

visor! Chae Chaeng! visor!

The other party members quickly covered me, so I was able to avoid fatal injuries.

―Keuhehehe, it’s delicious.

A demon licking my blood from your nails.

Seeing that, Teruomi and Emmet hesitated and backed away.

Everyone knows.

That the demon used was Teruomi’s skill.

―Huh, your ability is very good.

What does the blood-eater’s act have to do with it?

‘Am I duplicating the skill?’

From noble mtl dot com

Judging from his subsequent movements, his stats remained the same.

I checked the guy’s stat window with the devil’s eye, but there was nothing special.

A little more confirmation was needed to see if he had the awakening ability.

As of now, the possible inference is that by eating blood drops, you can use other people’s skills.

Kwajijijijijik!

‘f*ck.’

A red thunderbolt flowed from the demon’s body.

That guy started using my skill as it is.

‘After drinking my blood drop, Teruomi and Emmet engaged in a close combat.’

There was a high probability that one of the two had a shadow mark registered.

But I couldn’t tell Teruomi and Emmett to be careful.

We parted ways after this match, so I can’t share what skills I have with those who don’t know when they’ll meet again as enemies.

Teruomi wasn’t telling me about her skills for the same reason, and the other party members knew why, so they didn’t ask what skills Teruomi and I had.

just.

In the suffocating silence, only the tension was rising.

―Keuhehehe, why are you making such a face all of a sudden? Pooh. Is it because I’m scared? Now, try running again like before, hahahahaha.

nobody here.

I couldn’t react to the demon’s ridicule.

Because I know what a dangerous skill he has.

And the other party members don’t know what skills they have.

―Then let’s play again!

The demon rushed at it, scattering red thunderbolts.

I can’t let go of both hands and stay still like this.

From then on, fierce fighting continued.

If there are any differences from before.

I wonder if everyone’s movements have become more cautious.

visor! Chaechaechaeng! visor!

When I collided with his nails, my arm felt tingly due to the damage from the thunderbolt.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!

Kiara’s magic hit him directly, but unlike before, he didn’t take any damage.

‘I never thought I’d get the feeling of fighting an alter ego again.’

It was thanks to the magic offset skill.

His level rose exponentially just by having his skill stolen.

It was then.

“Joe, watch out!”

The claw-wielding demon suddenly appeared in front of Emmet.

Emmet couldn’t escape the sudden attack.

hooked!

“Emmett!”

Despite Kiara’s cry, Emmett did not respond.

His heart was pierced and he died instantly.

―Whoops, let’s see what kind of abilities this guy has.

As the demon licked Emmet’s blood, I let out a sigh of relief.

Shadow Mark is an advanced skill with excellent versatility.

The moment I used it, I no longer had to be careful with him.

‘Stupid bastard.’

To use that advanced skill to kill only one person.

If it were me, I would have used it at the moment when I could kill more than two people even if I couldn’t see the timing.

There was one more thing to know.

All he took was his skill.

Awakening abilities such as super senses seemed to be unable to be used.

Because his technique was the same.

‘It’s fortunate.’

Kwajijijijijik!

The demon that absorbed the skills of the three now attacked Kochiu and Kiara.

‘Where!’

I cut the path and swung my spear straight at him.

I don’t know what skills Emmet and Teruomi have.

At least, it was clear that there would be no fraudulent skill like the shadow mark.

Then there was no need for me to be dragged around passively like I am now.

‘It’s the same as fighting other players without knowing what skills they have.’

Kwajijijijijik! Puff! pop!

My thunderbolt and his thunderbolt exploded violently as the blade of the spear collided with my fingernails.

‘It seems that the item effect cannot be copied.’

I could tell by looking at the guy’s thunderbolt.

Due to the thunder god and the lightning strike, I was completely blinded by lightning.

It was because the bright red thunderbolt that comes out when the devil has only one god of thunder flowed out.

If he could even copy the effect of an item…

‘I don’t even have to think about it.’

You have to run away right away.

That’s because the effect of the Vladimir mask was deceptive.

“Teruomi-sama blocks the enemy troops, Kiara-sama and Kochiu-sama provide my cover!”

“Okay!”

“all right!”

Unlike me, who has super senses, Teruomi won’t be able to react easily to sudden skill hits.

At times like this, it was better to have the ranged dealers Kiara and Kochiu to cover me and Teruomi to block the enemy troops.

As soon as my words ran out, Teruomi ran to the rear, and the magic and arrows that were aimed at the soldiers turned and headed towards the demon.

ping! ping! ping! ping! ping!

Countless arrows and spells flying towards me and the devil.

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

But nothing stood in the way of the battle with the demon.

―Keugh! You don’t have that skill!

It was because he could read the entire space with his super senses and magic field, so he was able to avoid flying arrows and magic with ease.

On the other hand, the demon blocks my vision, so I can only see the arrows and magic flying right after I dodge.

hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked!

They couldn’t escape those attacks.

‘sh*t. It’s already tingling.’

It seems that he also turned on the breath of thunder, and his strength and agility stats had risen by 15%.

The reason why I can stand in his way even though the difference in stats is huge.

Kwajijijijijik! Whoop!

The difference in the reach of each weapon, such as a fingernail and a spear.

It was thanks to the barrage of arrows that flew from the blind spot every time he turned his body slightly, and Kiara’s magic cover.

‘How much stamina does he have left?’

Since I had slaughtered soldiers right up until the moment, I still had enough stamina.

On the other hand, the demon was consuming stamina even before I came, and had to endure the pincer attack from me, Teruomi, and Emmet.

And from now on, when using Breath of Thunder, the stamina consumption doubled.

In terms of physical strength, there was a high possibility that I would have the upper hand.

―Whoops, are you afraid of me? You’re doing stupid things because you’re not good at it.

Kwajijijijijijijik!

The devil who was caught by me and was hit by arrows and magic bombardment without being able to do anything sneered.

They probably want to launch an all-out war somehow by provoking them.

It seemed that they changed their strategy by taking care of me first when I, who was not even a fistful if I fought properly, kept pouring out attacks from the side and blocking their path.

I just ignored the devil’s ridicule and concentrated on letting the attack flow.

―After playing with him, he was stunned!

Instantly, a huge hexagon-shaped film made of mana was created near the demon.

It seems to be one of the defense skills that the knight Emmet had.

container! container! container!

The stabbing attacks bounced off the membrane to prevent the demon from closing the distance.

In that gap, the devil quickly closed the distance and swung his dark red claws.

‘Where!’

It doesn’t matter if you have defense skills.

Because until now, not one or two players have tried to dig into me in that way.

-You bastard! I will definitely tear it up and kill it!

The demon roared as I quickly moved in a square, peeling off the one charging in a straight line.

It was then.

aaa!

Anxiety overwhelms in a moment.

The back of my neck stiffened, and goose bumps rose all over my body.

My heart was beating wildly.

‘The way I felt when fighting my alter ego…!’

Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!
