Chapter 215
-Wow, a goddess . . .
-The scarecrow was crushed to death .
-Isn’t she actually a paladin instead of a priest? What is this . . . ?
-I don’t know about the bronze medal, but isn’t it possible for her to play in the arena like this?
Hyeonu and the other viewers were keeping an eye on Yuri’s battle . She had unbelievably neat movements for a priest .
‘At first glance, she seems similar to Yeongchan?’
It wasn’t about the combat style . He was talking about the overall level . If the gap from the class difference were excluded, Yuri would never be pushed by Yeongchan .
‘I don’t think there’s anything special I need to teach her…’
Yuri’s style had already been set . It had been a long time since she started Arena, but habits weren’t easily changed . Rather, playing as a priest seemed to help . It was just like right now . The scarecrow’s long sword struck the shield that was formed in front of Yuri with great timing . It made people wonder if she had deliberately directed the situation . Her movements were breathtaking and accurate .
‘I need to train this . So what if there are no attack skills? It is over as long as she blocks with a shield . ’
Hyeonu saw Yuri’s fight and completed her unique combat philosophy without her knowing it .
‘A paladin hits with the body, but a priest hits with the shield . ’
It was an example of Yuri’s combat style . While Hyeonu was thinking, Yuri continued to fight the scarecrow . The scarecrow raised its long sword to stop Yuri’s attack . However, the shock wave built into Flower of Despair started to gnaw at the scarecrow’s body . Yuri didn’t miss out on this gap caused by the shock wave and dealt the finishing blow to the scarecrow . When she saw the scarecrow fall, she couldn’t help raising her arms . She looked elated .
-Kyah . . . What a girl crush .
-Sister, have me! Wow, wow!
The viewers cheered for such a Yuri . After Reina, it seemed that the lineage of female star players had been cut off . However, Yuri wasn’t average . It’s just that she was a pure player who didn’t have streaming in mind .
“Everyone, did you see it? She is my secret weapon . It is greater than any of the previous lessons . ”
-I admit it .
-It is different from the two previous ones . This time it seems superior .
“You aren’t talking about appearance, right? It is obviously discrimination based on appearance . ”
-Shout! We aren’t so uncivilized .
-Hiik . . . He noticed . . .
Hyeonu played with the viewers before gesturing to Yuri and speaking in a sincere tone . “There was a fighting style that came to mind when I saw Leah fighting . Non-priest combat skills and that exact timing of the skill usage which isn’t inferior to anyone—I will put the two together . ”
He spoke up to here and took a breath . Then he turned his head toward Yuri, who was watching him with trusting eyes .
Hyeonu met Yuri’s gaze before turning his head back and explaining, “The clear weakness is that she doesn’t have any offensive skills, but there are also strengths . She has many defensive skills . In any case, it will hurt if she uses that greatsword in the bronze medal ranking apart for exceptional cases . ”
It was as Hyeonu said . All Yuri had to do to attack was wield the sword quickly and in a strong manner . The divine magic that Yuri learned consisted of buffs, heals, and shields . There were attack skills limited to facing those with the dark attribute, but they were an exception because they weren’t useful in the arena .
Moreover, it was highly impossible to inject divine power into the greatsword . That was a difficult thing for Yuri to do because she wasn’t a warrior . It wasn’t something she normally did, so it was natural that she wasn’t familiar with the process . Yet Yuri had the same stats and weapons as a gangster . There was no class difference in front of overwhelming items and stats, even if it was the bronze medal ranking .
-Ah, that’s right . It can be control, items, a high level, or stats . You can block a skill using the shield and then hit them back in reverse .
-Dirty people who rely on items and level . . .
-??? You can’t get a bronze medal even with those specs because your hands are too weak .
-Refrain from factual violence .
-Let’s play and see who will win and who will lose . This fact ghost .
Hyeonu’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the chat window .
‘You can think of it this way . It’s just . . . ’
One viewer criticized Yuri . Wasn’t it because of her high level and good items? That wasn’t strange . It was a reasonable suspicion . Arena was a game, and there was nothing that couldn’t be suppressed with overwhelmingly high stats .
“Of course, you might think like this . I think Leah fought so well that you may have forgotten something . She is a priest . She isn’t a warrior . She has nothing, so she needs to rely on her shield and stats . . . ”
-That’s right . She is a priest . I forgot about it for a moment .
-She really is a priest .
-Who said it was just her specs? Our Leah . . .
Hyeonu continued to smile at the sudden shift in the mood of the audience . “Then I’ll get to the solution straight away . Her timing of the skill is perfect, and her combat style is already complete . All she needs are the details—details that will supplement her lacking attack power . ”
-Details?
-What is it?
-Is there anything that can improve a priest’s attack power other than a priest?
-But the buff only lasts for one second? Isn’t the use of skills perfect already?
When the viewers responded, they showed they didn’t understand what Hyeonu’s words meant .
“Details? Oppa, what does that mean?” Yuri, as well as the viewers, were curious about Hyeonu’s words .
The details of the attack—they couldn’t make any guesses about them .
‘Is he talking about skills?’ Yuri wondered .
Right now, it wasn’t just hard to acquire skills; it was close to impossible . Usable skills started from the rare rating . The skills below that were functional skills, but their power was terrible . The cost effectiveness was garbage . However, a random rare skill book was needed to obtain a skill that was at least the rare rating, and the rare skill books had long been unavailable .
This was because the supply had long been unable to cope with the increased demand . The price of the random rare skill book had risen and was now poised to penetrate the sky . It wasn’t just this . Hyeonu played a firm role in the price increase of the random rare skill book . The price of the skill book was raised the day after it was announced that Alley Leader’s powerful defense-penetration skill was gained from a random rare skill book . With the addition of the cash tactics of the rich newbies, obtaining a random rare skill book was like winning the lotto . Their life would change as long as they got one .
Just then, Hyeonu opened his tightly closed lips . “You must’ve thought of the random rare skill book just now . Isn’t that right?”
Hyeonu tapped his temple with the index finger of his right hand .
-Yes . I thought so .
-Gooooosebumps! Saying such a thing so naturally . . .
-This is all there is to it .
-Otherwise, she will need to use useless uncommon rated skills .
-There is no supply of the rare skill books, and the price of Crescent Moon Cut is crazy!
The viewers criticized Hyeonu . It was an attitude that took everything for granted . Nonetheless, Hyeonu didn’t succumb to this .
“Everyone, you shouldn’t be like this . You have to think differently like me . ”
On the contrary, he made it worse .
He criticized and trampled on the audience in reverse . Hyeonu said with confidence, “Why do you learn skills? If you are holding a sword, then you should pull out sword energy . Isn’t that the foundation?”
Sword energy—it was a crystal of magic power that players, aside from some non-standard ones, could only use after the second class change . This was the general explanation of sword energy .
-Bullshit .
-Why would a priest have sword energy?
-Then any dog or cow will be a priest .
-Then it would be a complete scam .
The viewers didn’t believe Alley Leader’s words at all . It was dismissed as bullshit . This wasn’t realistic enough . Could a priest make sword energy? They had never heard of it or seen it .
“By the way, priests have a skill that is the same as Magic Power Control . Don’t you know? Leah, do you know it?” Hyeonu turned and stared at Yuri .
With a light smile, Yuri responded to Hyeonu, “I have a similar skill with divine power . The effect is quite similar to Magic Power Control . My power increases when divine power is manifested . It is a skill that mostly paladins and monks learn . ”
Hyeonu took over from Yuri’s words . “Priests, paladins, and monks . A characteristic of divine power users is that they don’t buy skill books . They can only learn skills by contributing to the temple . To get contribution points, you need to make donations or do quests related to the temple . However, the donations are inefficient, so they are rarely used . Most contributions are earned using points . ”
-Isn’t that common sense?
-That’s why no priest has mastered the skill . It is hard to even learn buffs . Why use contribution points on that type of thing?
-He keeps telling us obvious things . Why is he doing this today?
“However, Leah learned that skill . I told her to learn it because she had contribution points remaining . Now, let’s see . ”
Hyeonu had ordered Yuri to practice it in advance . At Hyeonu’s words, Yuri nodded and held her greatsword with both hands .
-Huh? She learned it?
-Did one buff fly away?
-Who in the 200s would party up with someone lacking buffs? Looking at her level, it means she has everything she needs . . .
-I don’t know . How did she learn it?
Yuri carefully infused divine power into the greatsword, and a silver sword energy started to form, even if it was incomplete .
-Crazy, what is this?!
-A priest made sword energy? What a terrible thing . . .
-Isn’t this a buff-using paladin?
-Still, her defense and stamina are too low . Even with buffs, she will die in one or two hits .
-Is that the problem? Now a priest is using sword energy!
Viewers were astonished when they saw the silver sword energy rising from Yuri’s greatsword . This was a sight they had never heard of—a priest making sword energy . Of course, the power wouldn’t be as strong as the sword energy of the warrior classes .
The important thing was that she could make it . The difference between being unable to do it and being weak was as big as the distance between heaven and earth .
‘This is the expected reaction . ’
The exact reaction Hyeonu expected came from the viewers . They were suspicious and astonished . They also talked about the balance problem . Right now, Hyeonu’s job was to convince the audience about how difficult it was for Yuri to manifest sword energy .
“Of course, this is not possible for everyone . Arena’s balancing system is a puzzle . In most cases, even if you earn contributions through quests, it is only one skill per 2 to 3 levels . There aren’t any priests who can master the Divine Power Control skill except for Leah right now!”
-So it isn’t possible . . .
-However, it is difficult to produce that sword energy . As expected of Leah . I can say this much .
-God Leah!
-Shouldn’t this be a stream about Leah getting a silver medal, not bronze? A bronze medal is too disappointing . . .
‘Huh?’ Hyeonu frowned at the audience’s unexpectedly quick acceptance .
It was a good thing, but he didn’t feel good about it .
“Isn’t it all because of me? I’m the one who made Leah gain extra temple contributions . ”
-Yes, of course .
-Really . Who else is it if not our Alley Leader?
-Wow, Alley Leader is the best best best!
The viewers immediately responded to Hyeonu’s words, but the nuances were different upon closer examination . There was a strange sense of ridicule . It was just almost impossible to catch such things in an instant chat window since it wasn’t spoken directly .
‘Why do I feel so uncomfortable?’
Yet, sometimes Hyeonu’s instincts were accurate .
