The Fight Against 100 Men (3)

In the early days of Arth, many players came to the underground arena, trying to complete unique missions without level restrictions.

In short, it's like people coming home from work, taking the subway no.9 on a rainy night.

In other words, it's packed!

However, there are not many people here.

'That's just natural. There's no way to beat him.'

Fighting Against 100 Men was too difficult, so no one had ever finished it.

Even the rankings that occasionally appeared on TV all failed as well.

Even the ratings (the top 10,000 players), who occasionally appeared on TV, all failed.

"If you successfully complete this quest, then I will give you whatever you want!" Sephiro shouted after failing in the search.

He was a famous soldier, nicknamed the Wind Archer.

"I'm gonna ask you one last time. Challenger, will you try the Fight Against 100 Men? You only have one shot" Burkan said.

Fight Against 100 Men!

Search with 0% chance of success%.

The skill and challenger items were sealed, and their stats were set to 10 pieces.

Not only that, but the player was blinded.

It was a ruthless quest that imposed harsh restrictions on players, while forcing them to fight 100 gladiators simultaneously!

Moreover, it was a single blind challenger against 100 sighted gladiators.

Lastly, a player could only try the Fight Against 100 Men once.

With such a high level of difficulty, the Fight Against 100 Men was almost impossible to complete.

Even worse, Kang Oh is only level 1. Trying that is obviously unthinkable.

However, Kang Oh did not think he was stupid.

'Now is the time to have the best chance!'

He has learned that the power of gladiators depends on the level of the player.

This is solid information, as it comes from players who have removed their characters and retried the Fight Against 100 Men.

If he were to fight now, while he was still level 1, then the gladiators would be at their weakest.

He also learned that when they were at their weakest, the gladiators would lose in a single strike.

So, this is the best time for Kang Oh, who has Hyper Intuition, to complete this mission.

"Yes I will!" Kang Oh yelled.

"alright. Put your hands on the snake's head. When you do, then the contract will be completed and the door will be open. The challenge will begin."

Kang Oh stepped in front of the iron gate.

There was an amphisbaena, or two-headed snake, carved on it.

'The birth almost looks real.'

Amphisbaena is the symbol of the Goddess of Contract. She is the goddess believed by the game traders.

It is said that amphisbaena will bite the contract recipient, and if they breach the contract, the venom of the two-headed snake will kill them.

So, being bitten by a snake means someone willingly gives up his life to fulfill the end of his contract.

'It wouldn't really bite me, would it?'

[Kang Oh carefully placed his hand on the snake's head.

Start a Fight Against 100 Men.]

Screeches.

The heavy iron gate screeched as it rubbed against the ground.

"Hopefully lucky."

Burkan pushed Kang Oh's back.

[Please select the item you will use in the Fight Against 100 Men.]

There was a chest containing various weapons in front of him.

Double-edged sword, spear, one-edged sword, dagger, etc.

Kang Oh has wielded a great sword in Warlord.

However, he chose a one-handed steel sword instead.

'Let's show off the skills I've learned for half a year.'

The choice of weaponry did not really matter, as the gladiators would lose in a single strike.

That is, he did not need a big and heavy weapon like a great sword.

"Film."

After picking up his gun, Kang Oh turns on film mode.

In Arth, the player is given an AI that will record it automatically.

However, no one had any footage of the Fight Against 100 Men.

This is because if it fails, filming will be stopped and all recorded content will be removed.

'But who knows what will happen if I finish it.'

If he finished the Fight Against 100 Men and the footage remained intact, then he would definitely make money from it.

Such was the famous Battle Against 100 Men!

And...

Kang Oh's efforts will now begin.

[According to the contract, your items, skills, and eyesight are sealed. All statistics are set to 10.]

[Fight Against 100 Men will start in 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.]

[Start!]

He was already level 1, so the stat change was meaningless.

He also had no items or skills.

His gaze turned black as if he was wearing an eye patch.

'Just take it as training.'

He's been training with his eyes closed in the dojo. That was to prepare for this moment!

If you've done something once, you can do it again. Although he could not see what was in front of him, he felt calm.

Then, his shoulders felt cold.

'It worked!'

Hyper Intuition: everything is clear!

Kang Oh slightly pulled his shoulders back and, guided by his Hyper Intuition, thrust his sword.

Poked.

Blow clean.

His hands tingled with excitement.

[99 Gladiators left.]

One down!

"Come on!" Kang Oh yelled.

This is just the beginning.

* * *

"I know enough about the layout of this place."

As he battles the gladiators, Kang Oh approaches the layout of the area, despite being blinded.

The area was about the size of a high school gym, and he was surrounded by a wall. There were no obstacles, at least some were unusual, and the land was only land.

It was probably the original arena where gladiator matches were held.

There are still gladiators left.

Kang Oh sensed a gladiator approaching him. Due to his Hyper Intuition, Kang Oh can dodge and counterattack simultaneously.

Whack!

[51 Gladiators left.]

[Out remaining stamina: 10]

[Because of the Indomitable stat, your abilities are not diminished.]

It was not like everything was fine just because he was level 1.

Each level up, Stamina increased by 1. Thus, Kang Oh's stamina was at its lowest.

"I have to wait for them to come to me."

The lower their stamina, the more their abilities dropped. When one's Stamina reached 0, they became paralyzed.

Kang Oh remained in place, waiting for the gladiators to attack him.

If they did not attack him, then he would replenish his stamina. If they did, he would minimize his movements and counterattacks.

He feels cold!

Kang Oh leaned to the side and counterattacked; guided by his Hyper Intuition, he thrust his sword into the place he suspected to be their neck.

[You've beaten 50 gladiators. The remaining gladiators will now attack with more caution.]

"Hoo."

Gladiators stopped attacking.

Kang Oh's stamina was gradually replenished. However, the decline in their numbers made the fight harder than before.

The whistle!

He felt like he heard the sound of a whistle, which signaled the start of the second half.
