Return of the Archmage

4.

In general, when they are on the same level, so-called close users find it difficult to catch distant class users.

Only at that level are close-class users advantageous because they don't have many skills and stats, but over time, when the level is high and the content is enough to overcome the disadvantages of close-range users, it has the advantage of a first-attack.

Proximity class users say, especially when dealing with distant classes using horsepower skills.

"A level 60 or higher wizard can't lose to a close class at 1:1 unless it's a goldfish cub."

Of course there are always exceptions.

Among the few 60-level wizards in the world, Stett can learn only the skills to fight against a number of enemies and it may not be so difficult to deal with if he has also focused on them.

However, if it is not such a special case, a wizard will have to be superior to a prosecutor when he is at the same level and skill as a wizard will have to be superior to a prosecutor.

First of all, the difference in mana stats is too big.

No matter how important the horsepower stet is, even close class users spend money to raise it through horsepower potion, it is only possible that all 30s and 50s to 60s combined, but wizards have at least 100 horsepower stats.

On the contrary, there is a difference in body stats, but the efficiency of body stats is more advantageous to wizards who can increase strength, agility, and stamina evenly than mana stats potions.

Once there is a difference, the difference is made between distance and distance.

Give the advance to the wizard unconditionally.

In a world where magic is not sung for a minute like in a novel, attacking before using magic while shouting the skill name is useless for those who have never fought with the wizard.

In addition, the first offense that flies in will inevitably be hit.

Simple attack magic can be prevented through artifacts, but the magic used in a fight against close-class users is normal.

The difference in mana leads to the result of having to face the magic straight.

Likewise, artifacts can prevent it once, but magic flies in more than an additional state to prepare for it.

One, two, the sorcerer's magic builds up like that.

Despite the accumulation, they constantly maintain their distance and launch a check magic.

That's what's scary about high-level wizards.

The crazy spells that come from a lot of horsepower.

The user of proximity class approaches with maximum damage just by thinking that the distance should be narrowed, but it is not possible and power continues to decrease.

A twist?

There's no such thing.

Unless the wizard lets his guard down, the loophole in the proximity class user is usually revealed before the wizard runs out of mana.

Therefore, 30 years later, everyone says that there is only one way for a close class user to win the battle between a close-class users and wizards.

"The wizard's carelessness must penetrate the heart for only one chance."

The class is not something you can decide on, but it can be quite unfair for those who have transferred to a close class dreaming of catching a wizard with swords while leisurely receiving magic with all kinds of armor.

It's a reality.

It's the final destination of a wizard that's hard to grow, and that's why so many guilds and sponsors are pouring tens of billions of won into raising a wizard.

And people say.

"If you're wrong, you'll be strong. Until the magic of the sorcerer is completely defeated and made enough difference to narrow the distance. Either him or the sorcerer's magic, a 60-level sorcerer's state, or two artifacts that can prevent five or more spells. Oh! There's another way. We're looking for an artifact that can purify magic beyond all conditions for one timing. Like Kang In-ho. Of course, it costs hundreds of times more than the previous one.

In the end, Kang In-ho's last number of ranking starts is never cowardly.

Proximity classes were a very textbook act of catching distant classes, also called interpersonal magic.

No, even if Kang In-ho's behavior is cowardly, Lee Hye-sung should not be the only one.

“…….”

So the atmosphere in the hospital room suddenly became chilly.

Lee Hye-sung waved his hands and laughed.

"Ha ha. Why are they so serious? It's embarrassing. I'm just kidding. It was a very good video. I'm sure the wizards would have chilled your spine."

Then quickly change the subject.

"Oh, this is going to be really hard. From this video, I think wizards on Earth know how to deal with tests roughly. It's going to be hard to make it to the finals without Mana."

"…Yes, I think not participating is one way.”

Kang In-ho, who got out of shock belatedly, shook his head and said.

I just wonder if Lee Hye-sung is going to die, but objectively speaking, participating in a ranking selection event that would not be strange no matter what happens can be more dangerous than a terrorist group aiming for Lee Hye-sung.

"Well."

Lee Hye-sung also thought about it for a while.

"It's too dangerous, isn't it?"

"Unlike the event quest, international law does not apply properly to the selection of rankings. There's a difference between an event quest where all abilities are reset and everything you have. The strong are the law and the truth. The Black Wizards don't usually participate in dangerous event quests or take basic rewards, while they openly show off their power in the ranking selection."

"It's been so bad lately that they might think I'm a jerk."

"That's right."

"Then I've decided."

"Yeah, just in case, I think it's better to wait a few hours before the entrance deadline and give up. Dude, I'm good at winning, and I'm good at hitting black magicians...….”

"Participate."

"……Huh?"

"I don't think I'm going to die. And if you don't think it's good, you can use the backup manara.”

"Don't you have a spare?"

"Yes, I heard what you've prepared before you go in will be applied inside anyway, right? I'll bring it in if my core is charged in a few hours."

“…….”

"Why didn't I tell you?”

“…….”

"You didn't ask."

Lee Hye-sung shrugged.

Kang In-ho's fist trembled.

***

It's easier said than done, but it's actually the last straw.

So to speak, reserve force.

If the power outage does not go away, it is only enough power to operate an emergency elevator at best.

"Are you gonna be all right?"

Knowing that, Ariel asked anxiously.

Even she, a saint, is favored by goddesses, but there is nothing she can do to help in this field.

It's literally a disease caused by the overwork of Mana Circuit.

an irreparable disease by divine power

An uncertain future makes people nervous.

She calms her anxiety and says.

"You were going to win this ranking match with a sword, not magic. This kind of penalty is enough to cover with a mana storage skill."

Words full of laughter are full of confidence.

Although it was a year ago, I was able to figure out the approximate level of users by watching the video of last year's ranking selection.

As he said, it may be difficult to win Kang In-ho with a penalty, but it is not impossible at all.

The more you gather together, the stronger the synergy effect, and if you go through Lee Hye-sung's hand, you can overcome the 10 level difference and make him overshadow the penalty like the black wizard who pushed Kang In-ho.

Thus, Lee Hye-sung's participation in the event was confirmed.

5.

Black magicians moved while watching the hologram of the entry time limit for the ranking selection.

Dozens of black robes gathered in gloomy places.

"How many people are participating in this event?"

"Twelfth. Power level 50 or higher. Level 60 or higher is five."

"What's your target?"

"At least a hundred people."

They have a secret conversation.

If people in the world hear it, it's a conversation that's cool and tongue-kicking.

They're only plotting to kill someone at a fun-loving event.

That's not the end.

"Any chance of shooting Kang In-ho?"

One of the lobes listening still says, and the other lobes bows their heads.

And he speaks politely.

"It's sparse. It's currently estimated at level 74 and there's not much information released compared to last year."

The head of the Black Wizards organization!

He puts his hand into the invisible robe and touches his chin.

"I wish I could kill you this time."

Originally, black wizards should have appeared in the world earlier.

Decades of preparation and last year's preparation was a time to burst into splendor.

I thought all the preparations were perfect, but if it wasn't for Kang In-ho's strength at the end of the ranking match, the black wizards would have made a splendid debut by now, shaking people all over the world.

Kang In-ho, who ruined everything and kept us waiting for another year.

Revenge for that is essential.

"Are the shooters ready?"

"There's a sniper who's reached level 70. Based on last year's footage, I'm also fully aware of the pattern."

"Ho-ho."

It's not just retaliation.

As a year is delayed, the plan must be implemented this year.

So the head of the Black Wizards made a decision by pulling his hand off his smooth jaw.

"Put it in."

"Yes."

It's a secret weapon.

No matter how many black wizards they are, money and manpower don't just spring up from nowhere.

Rather, each person's resources are precious.

It's hard to find a man who is a black wizard and has ideas to join this dark force.

That's why last year's defeat is more bitter.

"We put all our energy into it. Even if the future plans are delayed little by little, we are unconditionally informed of our existence. By winning."

It's a moment of determination.

In fact, everyone who watched Kang In-ho's video has become so famous that no one knows about it.

But what black wizards want is not that fame.

The organization that will rule the world, the name alone, should tremble with fear.

"Kill everyone who has laughed at us for the past year. Ranking selection is no longer a festival of users, but a place that shows our dignity. Show that a few can rule the world."

Dark black horsepower is scattered thickly inside.

It's not just the dark wizards in the novel.

All the people gathered here are people of the Earth.

They have learned black magic through skills and are gathered to express their latent dark desires.

It's more scary to cosplay a life that's not different from others.

Ranking selection.

It was hot from the beginning of the annual festival.
