Chapter 181
Among the people who were stunned by the revelation, Eurius felt like his head was hit by a hammer.
‘Could it be the player I know, Lee Cheongmun?’
But in this video, he was clearly called a ‘psychic’.
And the Emperor Sharnos was also referred to as a ‘player’ along with that person named Merlin.
What was the difference between them?
Whisper whisper.
The murmurs of the people did not subside, and the woman had no choice but to introduce the next guest in a loud voice.
[Our next guest is from the K Foundation, who collaborated with us in developing the 6th generation VR! Please welcome Dr. Dimiana Kim, the development team leader of the K Foundation VR Research Institute.]
[Thank you. Please call me Dimiana.]
A calm female voice answered.
This was also a name he had heard a lot.
‘The great woman Dimiana?’
The name of the player who founded a holy kingdom.
Eurius could not help but be more puzzled.
Come to think of it, Archbishop Galeus of the Kingdom called the three mentioned ‘Godly One (newcomers)’.
‘What on earth…’
Time passed as Eurius was lost in thought.
[Then we will start the match.]
“…”
Snap!
The old man called Merlin raised both arms with a flash.
He seemed to dislike the relaxed expression of Emperor Sharnos.
Whoosh!
Boom!
The place where the emperor was standing exploded all at once.
The explosion was not one or two times.
Pop pop pop bang!
Crash!
The vicinity where the emperor was became completely dust due to the explosion.
The broken glass windows fell down with a clatter, and the walls were shattered to reveal the monstrous steel bars.
‘Wow…’
Eurius was impressed by the sight.
He could do something similar if he swung his sword, but he could not cause such destruction by just raising his hand from a distance.
[What is this, it’s too boring?]
[Don’t tell me it’s over like this.]‘There’s no way.’
Eurius shook his head.
There was no way he could deal with the emperor like that.
And as he thought.
Thud thud
Emperor Sharnos walked out of the rubble with smoke rising from him.
Then he pointed his finger at Merlin.
Click click.
He bent his index finger toward himself. Anyone could see that it was a provocation!
‘Is that all you got?’
“Krr…”
Anger rose on Merlin’s wrinkled face.
He reached into his robe and pulled out something.
[Oh! This is the first time I’ve seen Merlin pull out a weapon so quickly! Doctor! That staff is definitely an S-rank item, right?]
[Yes. It’s called Oblivion, a staff. It’s one of the highest-ranked weapons, excluding Ex-grade equipment that cannot be disclosed due to balance issues.]
After Dimiana Kim, who was called a doctor, calmly answered, Merlin stretched out the staff he had taken out.
Vroom!
The bead at the end of the staff glowed and the attack began again.
Zap!
A huge bolt of lightning fell.
The debris of the building was all burned black.
And that was not the end of it.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind swept up the debris.
The storm swept through the city.
In addition, he poured out powerful attacks without rest and finally raised his staff with both hands to the sky.
“…”
Unlike before, nothing happened for a moment.
‘What is this?’
[Huh?]
[What is Merlin doing?]
The audience and Eurius all had puzzled expressions.
Flash.
A red dot appeared in the sky.
And the dot grew larger and larger until it filled the screen.
It was a meteor!
As it fell, most of it burned up and became the size of a bean, but its power was beyond words.Boom!
The meteor crashed into the city, destroying half of it and blowing up dozens of buildings. .
A huge crater was formed where the meteor landed.
Whoosh.
Dust rose up and the female commentator and the audience were speechless.
‘Even if it’s virtual reality, isn’t it too realistic?’
‘Hmph!’
Merlin, who had risen into the air to avoid the blast, looked down with a smug expression.
Soon, the woman opened her mouth again.
[Uh… um… Merlin’s attack was really amazing. By the way, the magic he used was very realistic. Is this also thanks to the new technology introduced this time?]
Kim Dimiana answered coolly as usual.
[Yes. This generation’s technology focused on reproducing realism. In fact, we asked Merlin to use skills that would cause as much natural disasters as possible in the lab.]
There was an exclamation among the audience.
[Ah! Merlin was from a team under the K Foundation.]
[They’re really good at advertising. I can’t even afford a 6th generation capsule, sigh…]
[Tsk! You losers, I’m getting mine in a week. Jealous?]
[Yes, next VR please.]
Whoosh.
Amidst the noise, the dust slowly cleared.
The commentator also seemed to remember the whereabouts of the challenger.
[Ah! By the way, what happened to the challenger?]
[What are you asking? He must have turned into dust in one hit.]
[He’s pitiful. Didn’t the K Foundation pay him for advertising? Was he hired from the start?]
The audience and the commentator were skeptical about Sharnos’s fate.
How could he survive after taking such a hit?
But the next moment, they were all shocked to see their eyes pop out.
Flash!
A bright light burst out and the debris of the collapsed building split apart. Then a person jumped out.
It was Sharnos himself.
He looked too fine except for some dust on his clothes.
Tap tap.
As he dusted himself off, the audience was confused.
[Crazy! Is that a bug?]
[What is he doing?]
“…!?”
Merlin, who was floating in the air, also had his cold face completely shattered.
He just stared at Sharnos with wide eyes.
‘Huh…’
Eurius also racked his brains as he watched Sharnos.
‘Air barrier? Or did he use some other method?’
