Arena, Alien hunting

“Some of you may not be, but I think most of you have followed the rich movies. ”

It was aimed at the capitalists and investigators who considered the test to be money.

“Not a bad thing. Humans strive for a better life. But a better life, a happier life, is the foundation of world peace. ”

Odin continued.

“I am very high up in the world of Arena. Earl of the Kingdom of Arend, with vast territories, armies and power. King Alserfon III discusses important matters with me. ”

Everyone is amazed at what he has done.

“Ask me. Are they good? And I'm going to answer that. Not good at all. In a world with identity discrimination and gender discrimination and a murderous inequality and war, I'm not so happy that my own existence looks so great to others. ”

He points to his chest.

“The happiest time I ever had was when I came back and saw my daughter again. We eat together, we hang out, we watch interesting movies, and those simple moments are happy. ”

He said the last time.

“Let's protect it. Let's save this precious world. I assure you, the world we live in is much better than it is today. ”

Another round of applause poured out like thunder.

My eyes turned red.

It was obvious, but Odin's sincere euphoria touched my heart after so many experiences in the arena.

I wanted to go back to my normal life after all of this.

I'm not alone anymore.

Odin said.

“So as long as you know that this is very important, I will introduce you to an investigator. I'm sure you all know him. ”

Then one person appeared on top of the monolith.

The black-haired beauty.

It was Dana Ritrin.

He handed over the microphone with a distinctive, fresh smile.

“This is Dana Ritrin. ”

“Oh!”

“Ritrin!”

“Rank 1st! ”

Everyone was surprised.

Dana began to tell everyone everything she had learned by infiltrating her original battalion.

Kazard Pun Aman, who has just been resurrected, also explained what kind of monster he was because of the side effects of the resurrection ritual.

People began to feel the seriousness of the situation as they listened to the story.

“The Great Empire, as they say, is far from a good country for the people to live in. because the arena has no concept of human rights and civil rights. The greatness that they think is the power that lasts forever without wavering. Perhaps, in his character, a partner like Re-Chang wouldn't want to let him live after all. because the high priests of Sultano were just using them as servants to throw them away. ”

He was once again sending warnings to the investigators.

A unified world.

The chaos between people and monsters in this world was once again a reminder to the examiners that it would never benefit them.

What matters is the willingness of the investigators to complete the next test.

I then entered the briefing showing the PowerPoint data screen.

It was a report on the power and trends of the Armed Forces.

Perhaps the information provided by Odin, the center of the Kingdom of Arend, and Dana, the original High Priestess of the Confederacy, was compiled in general.

500,000 total troops.

Many other herded knights and wizards.

“How am I supposed to win that? ”

“Will that be enough for all the other countries? ”

“We're not just at war with our troops. ”

“Financially, the Aman Empire was already wasted when it destroyed the kingdom of Seiran. ”

“That's right, they're swarming. ”

Investigators chattering.

Dana adds after the power of the Aman Empire forces that bore everyone to death.

“But we must not be distracted by the enormous power of the Armed Forces. Key points are separate. ”

Then a portrait of a person appeared on the data screen.

“This is Kazad Pun Aman. ”

Dana was the Montage of Aman, who saw Kazad Pun through the Abyssal Orb.

Everyone breathed.

There was a figure on the screen who was at the source of everything.

“A notice of the final resting place was given shortly after his resurrection. In other words, the next test is not against the Armed Forces, but rather against the Kazad Pun Arman. ”

At that time, one investigator raised his hand and asked for permission to speak.

“Tell me.”

“Thank you. I'm Nakai Schuhei, a Japanese researcher. ”

“Nakai Schuhei? ”

“Arena of Japan? ”

Several investigators spoke up.

Next to me, Cha Ji-hye told me.

“I am officially ranked 11th in the world. ”

“Ah……. ”

I nodded. You're a big deal.

Shuhei said.

“You said you needed to get rid of him, not the Armed Forces, but it's actually a similar story. How can you kill a man who is lurking beneath the palace of the Aman Empire? ”

“I never said the word 'underground’ in the palace, you know? ”

Dana asked.

Shuhei shrugs.

“I snuck into the palace for an exam. The goal was achieved, but then I realized that there was something vast underneath the palace, and I had never attempted to infiltrate it. ”

I was amazed again among the investigators.

Dana nods, smiling.

“Well done on not trying. The underground palace is difficult to breach even if a million troops are unauthorized. ”

“Look at that. Shouldn't we focus on how to lead the war against the Armed Forces to victory first? ”

“You're right, but would it make a difference if Kazad came out of the underground palace? ”

“Coming out of there, you mean leading the war yourself? ”

“I don't think so, but Kazad's destination is predictable. ”

And then there's the map on the data screen. It was a map of the Brown Mountains and nearby areas. I saw my territory and Odin's.

“I spoke to him with the Abyssal Bead, and he had a soul-deficient side effect in the middle of the resurrection ritual, and that's why he coveted the tree of life of the Elves. ”

“So this Kazad guy will show up there? ”

A black examiner, other than Shuhei, suddenly asked.

Dana nods.

“Yes.”

“You can't be sure of that. We can make the bottom do what he doesn't have to. ”

“If you are eager for your soul, you are more likely to appear in the Brown Mountains. And in preparation for that, what if all the investigators were prepared to fight Kazad there? It's about walking on the most likely side. ”

“If killing just one man Kazad Pun-Aman, I don't think we need a lot of investigators. ”

Shuhei gives his opinion.

It turns out he once penetrated the Arman Imperial Palace. Then it is speculated that there is an assassin lineage like Marie Johanna.

Dana shakes her head.

“That's not true. Once upon a time, Kazad Pun Aman is the most powerful black wizard in Arena history. And the military, and the Richang, and the corrupt investigators, are more likely to join them. ”

“Well, there's Richang. ”

Shuhei moans.

“I think almost all the examiners should gather here and watch the battle. ”

“That's ridiculous. What if the Arman Empire was aiming for this and empowered to fight in other regions? ”

The Black Investigator appealed again.

It is a reasonable opinion and the investigators have agreed for quite some time.

When we are gathered near the Brown Mountains, what if Kazad, the Black Mages and the Corrupt Investigators at Richang, as if they were aiming for it, take on another battlefield and lead the war to victory?

A slanted victory is useless if you try to reverse it.

No matter how powerful the investigators were, hundreds of thousands of people could not easily change the flow of the conflicting Great War.

‘Wait...? ’

At that moment, I remembered something.

‘That's the same for them, isn't it?! ’

The whole body was shaken as if it was going through current.

I thought I could make a victory if I was good enough.

Communication advantage.

Advantage of maneuverability.

We had a very powerful advantage that we didn't even know about.

‘As long as you use it well! ’

I was excited.

At that moment, I felt someone's warmth in my hands.

Cha Ji-hye held my hand.

“Something come to mind? ”

Strange. It seems I'm not the only one who knows how she feels.

“Yes.”

“It always has been. Hyunho had always instinctively figured out the answer to completing exams. ”

She squeezed my hand harder.

“Tell everyone. The answer to the test.”

I nodded my head.

Thanks to her, I felt less burdened when I had to speak in front of everyone.

I quietly raised my hand to ask for a comment.

Dana looked at me like that and she opened her eyes.

“Yes, speak up, Kim Hyun-ho. ”

“Kim Hyun-ho?"

“A Korean ranker came out of nowhere. ”

“That's Kim Hyun-ho. ”

“The only investigator we don't know about is Kim Hyun-ho, who's a giant enough to be here. ”

Investigators, of course, also talked to Arena industry officials.

Associates who were not investigators were distracted by the interpretation of the meeting in Arena.

I said quietly.

“The problem you just raised, I think it's the same with them. ”

“Could you be more specific? ”

Dana picked it up.

“What if we, the core investigators, were all put in the best battlefield of war? No matter how much Kazad covets the Tree of Life, he's not foolish enough to let the war fall to irreversible defeat. ”

“That's right. ”

“Not foolishly, but terribly clever, Kazad. ”

“He planned to resurrect hundreds of years later. ”

“But what does that mean? ”

The investigators grumbled and waited for my continued explanation.

I told you.

“We'll probably use our anti-horses to send our corrupt experimenters, our Black Mages, to the battlefield. And I would head to the Brown Mountains to get the Tree of Life. ”

“I see. Then we won't stop Kazad from attacking the Brown Mountains while we're fighting the corrupt pilgrims and the Black Wizards.“ ”

Dana said.

I opened my mouth with a fucking smile.

“In other words, we can keep the corrupt examiners and the black wizards away from Kazad. ”
