Chapter 219 – Time Attack (3)

Editor: Ana_Banana


[Johann Georg, ‘I want to compete against Isaac Ivanov!’]


After Johann Georg made his declaration, the world became concerned with just one thing.


[Will Isaac Ivanov accept this challenge?]


What was Isaac Ivanov’s answer going to be?


So everyone waited for Isaac Ivanov’s response.


-Is there still no reaction from Isaac Ivanov’s side?


-Why haven’t they said anything?


-Where is Isaac Ivanov?


But as time passed, there was still no response from Isaac Ivanov regarding Johann Georg’s challenge.


Upon realising this, strange rumors began to spread.


[Isaac Ivanov has been stuck in a dungeon for over two months already!]


[Isaac Ivanov is dead!]


[Is Isaac Ivanov’s death a conspiracy theory or the truth?!]


From rumors that Isaac Ivanov was trapped in a dungeon just waiting for death, to rumors that he had outright died.


Naturally, these were rumors that people would scoff at normally.


-Is he really dead?


-There has to be a reason why there hasn’t been any news so far.


-That’s right. This is the first time that Isaac Ivanov has been quiet since his debut, isn’t it?


-No way… I don’t believe it.


But Isaac Ivanov’s current and unannounced hiatus had given these rumors a lot of weight.


[Isaac Ivanov is still silent!]


And they grew heavier the longer Isaac Ivanov remained silent.


Just as the world was starting to become terrified by Isaac Ivanov’s silence, he expressed his opinion through a spokesperson.


“Isaac Ivanov has given me his opinion.”


It was Park Yong-wan who spoke to the frightened world as Isaac Ivanov’s spokesperson.


“He will accept Johann Georg’s challenge.”



-Isaac Ivanov has given me his opinion. He will accept Johann Georg’s challenge.


Kim Woo-jin, who was watching Park Yong-wan’s press conference on the TV on the CNN channel, pressed on the remote.


Immediately, the TV switched to the BBC channel, and Park Yong-wan was also being broadcasted there.


-However, he has a condition. It can’t be a valueless competition. He doesn’t want to compete just to clear one dungeon.


Then the screen changed again. This time, it was on Al Jazeera.


-Also, the only condition will be to clear dungeons. In this era, the players should target more dungeons. It is their duty. And for whatever reason, they refuse to do that duty.


Finally, it was put on KBS.


-If those conditions are met, then he will agree to any type of competition Johann Georg wants. That’s what Isaac Ivanov said. In addition, I intend to support Isaac Ivanov.


Tuk!


When Park Yong-wan’s speech ended, Kim Woo-jin turned off the TV with a small smile on his face.


‘That was a lot better than I expected.’


Kim Woo-jin had been the one to propose this to Park Yong-wan.


He told him that there was a way to experience fame unlike any he’d ever experienced before.


And now it was done.


‘Thanks to Isaac Ivanov, Park Yong-wan would be able to do something he couldn’t do even when he first cleared a 6 Floor dungeon.’


There had been an incredible spotlight on Park Yong-wan after he attacked a 6 Floor dungeon for the first time.


Moreover, it was not the same kind of fame that Park Yong-wan received before.


Park Yong-wan could certainly be called a celebrity.


The problem was that the attention he received wasn’t good.


In the end, regardless of what he did, he was always compared to the Messiah Guild’s Savior, Lee Se-jun.


And the assessment he received after that, was naturally never good.


‘It would only be for a moment, but his popularity would become comparable to Lee Se-jun.’


But now, no one disparaged Park Yong-wan, some even went as far as to compare him to Lee Se-jun.


And from Park Yong-wan’s perspective, this was the greatest harvest he could possibly obtain.


‘For Park Yong-wan, it would be worthwhile even if he had to pay a high price.’


Naturally, Kim Woo-jin demanded exactly that.


In return for achieving something he’d never achieved in his life, Park Yong-wan fully supported Kim Woo-jin with unique grade items that he and his teammates used when clearing 6 Floor dungeons.


To be precise, he had given them to support Isaac Ivanov, but that didn’t make a difference to Kim Woo-jin.


Moreover, the unique items he gave them were not simple items.


These unique items were created using the material from monsters found in 5 and 6 Floor dungeons. The government also helped in the creation of these items.


They were items worth far more than the armor Kim Woo-jin had made with the Hatchling’s leather.


Park Yong-wan had given him 10 such items.


‘I could get more, but…’


Of course, Kim Woo-jin had no intention of stopping with just those.


This incident had led the world to understand that Park Yong-wan was the irreplaceable spokesperson and sponsor of Isaac Ivanov.


So naturally, when Isaac Ivanov officially requested something, Park Yong-wan wouldn’t be able to refuse easily.


That’s why Kim Woo-jin was not in a hurry.


‘All that’s left is to deal with Johann Georg.’


Johann Georg!


Kim Woo-jin prepared for war against this man who he still considered the King of Undead in his mind.


‘The response should come soon.’


Woowoong!


Kim Woo-jin smiled slightly and checked the text message that just arrived.


‘After all, he isn’t a gentleman.’


Johann Georg had given a response.



Johann Georg replied to Isaac Ivanov’s proposal.


[Three 5 Floor dungeons!]


[The player who clears 3 dungeons the fastest wins!]


[All dungeons must be at least B rank, and selected randomly!]


He wanted to have a match where the one who cleared three dungeons the fastest was the winner.


In many ways, it was unprecedented.


At the same time, no matter how one looked at it, it was a competition between heroes.


-No matter who wins, six B rank 5 Floor dungeons will be cleared. Amazing!


-Right. This is how real players compete! Players should clear dungeons!


-Real players are really different.


-Who wouldn’t want players to compete by clearing dungeons?


-Win or lose, both of them deserve to be saviors.


That way, even the losers deserved applause.


-By the way, who do you think will win?


? Isaac Ivanov is probably the best player in the world, but doesn’t Johann Georg have the record for fastest clear time?


?Because they are picking at random, luck is also a factor. There are a lot of variables.


?In that case, luck could also be considered a skill.


?I’m really looking forward to it.


Moreover, the fact that no one knew what the dungeons would be made the competition more obscure, and made the onlookers even more enthusiastic.


And support was given to match the enthusiasm.


[Boeing is willing to provide all transportation, including private planes and helicopters in the face off between the two!]


[Airbus is willing to provide private planes for the match!]


[Mercedes-Benz is willing to provide all vehicles needed for the competition!]


[Rolls-Royce is creating a special sedan for the two players!]


The world’s leading companies all began competing to support the competition between these two players.


There was one thing left.


[Where will the confrontation take place?]


[Where will the confrontation of the century take place?!]


[Where could they get six B rank 5 Floor dungeons?]


They still needed to find a place to have their competition.


Of course, their discussion didn’t last very long.


[Isaac Ivanov, “If it’s South Korea, we would be able to compete with confidence.”]


[Johann Georg, “If it’s South Korea which is the home of the Messiah Guild, I agree.”]


Korea would be the location where the match of the century would take place.



Most dungeon attacks 5 Floors and above were placed under a glaring spotlight.


This was because attacking dungeons had now become a huge business.


There were even cases where players intentionally used and exposed their sponsor’s products before heading into a dungeon, or even outright advertising their products, most of which were considered legal.


For ordinary broadcasts, the performers wore clothes or tags that had the names of their sponsors written on them, but if players, who appeared in the news used their sponsors’ products or advertised them directly, there were no legal restrictions.


However, it was different for Kim Woo-jin this time.


In front of the dungeon gate, Kim Woo-jin’s surroundings was astonishingly calm.


There were no broadcasting company officials, or even soldiers, who were supposed to be on standby, let alone reporters.


“One minute until you can enter the dungeon.”


Only one person, the judge who would be keeping track of the time, was there with them.


Then the judge said.


“The fight has started.”


And with that, Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah entered the dungeon.


The battle of the century, Isaac Ivanov vs Johann Georg, had officially begun.



[Hunt 30,001 to move on to the next floor.]


After seeing the clearance notification, Lee Jin-ah stretched and said.


“It’s always nice when just the two of us enter a dungeon cause we don’t have to speak Russian.”


He was completely calm as he said those words.


This was natural.


“Now then, shall we have some fun?”


After all, the two of them had cleared a 6 Floor dungeon together.


It would be strange if they could feel anxious or tense in a 5 Floor dungeon.


“I’d like to find a monster that could kill me now. Lee Jin-ah the immortal.”


Furthermore, for Lee Jin-ah, who’s Blessing of the River Styx skill had reached transcendent rank, it was virtually impossible for him to feel the fear of death.


“Ah, is it too early? We need to adjust our pace right?”


Moreover, they didn’t even need to overdo it in this dungeon.


On the contrary, Kim Woo-jin had to slow down their pace in order to match Johann Georg.


They would gain the most support only when it was a close competition.


“It’s that it?”


Kim Woo-jin didn’t respond to Lee Jin-ah, instead, he said something else.


“Book of the Dead.”


Instead of answering, he’d summoned the Book of the Dead.


[The Book of the Dead has been summoned.]


Now that it had reached C rank, the book had become very large and could store a total of 30 undead summons.


Kim Woo-jin pulled pages from the book one after another.


[Summoned Skeleton Knight.]


[Summoned Skeleton Soldier.]


Following the Skeleton Knights, the Ogre and Hellhound Skeleton Soldiers were also summoned from the Book of the Dead.


In an instant, a large group of skeletons surrounded Kim Woo-jin.


And he didn’t stop there.


[The power of Osiris’ Ring has been activated.]


[You have used Resurrection.]


[A Wyvern has been resurrected.]


With the Resurrection skill, a Wyvern Skeleton Soldier which had been just bones began to regain its original appearance.


Kiieeh!


The Wyvern then flapped its wings, showing that it had regained the ability to fly.


“Wa-, wait! Isn’t this too much?”


Lee Jin-ah, who was shocked by this turn of events, couldn’t help but shout.


“Aren’t we adjusting our pace in order to get a close match?”


Kim Woo-jin answered the question while attaching a saddle to the Wyvern’s body.


“That was an option.”


Then he frowned slightly.


In fact, Kim Woo-jin had also thought of acting as Lee Jin-ah said.


If he did it like that, he would be able to get more sponsorship from Park Yong-wan, or even the Lightning King.


It was also clear that it would be easier for Johann Georg to obtain items from the Messiah Guild.


“But after thinking about it, I realised it wasn’t easy.”


But that wasn’t an easy task.


“We would lose if we tried to match Johann Georg’s pace when we don’t know what could be in the dungeon.”


Moreover, Isaac Ivanov would lose more than a few items if he were to lose the competition.


“Fortunately, there is a section in this little race that allows us to control our pace.”


Therefore, Kim Woo-jin decided to change his method.


“A section?”


“After clearing a dungeon, whether we take a day off or 10 days, it’s up to us.”


They would adjust their pace outside the dungeon.


“Wait, so in the dungeon…”


“We’ll sprint at full speed.”


“So it’s the race between the rabbit and the tortoise?”


Kim Woo-jin smiled at that analogy.


Seeing this smile, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but ask.


“Wouldn’t Johann Georg just give up if the difference is too large?”


“It’s better to be a tortoise who worked hard to complete the race than a pathetic dog with its tail hanging.”


With that said, Kim Woo-jin, who’d finished putting on the Wyvern’s saddle, summoned another monster from the Book of the Dead.


[Summoned Dullahan.]


[Dullahan brings terrible fear to every living creature.]


[Dullahan brings immense joy to the dead.]


Dullahan!


A knight with a severed head which exuded a bitingly cold aura.


Kim Woo-jin then spoke in a cold voice.


“We’ll clear this dungeon within 15 days.”


Then he looked at Lee Jin-ah.


“Bring the monsters.”


With those words, Lee Jin-ah rushed forward, his expression no longer as relaxed as it was before.


Kim Woo-jin’s expression also became serious as he saw that.


In fact, Kim Woo-jin didn’t make that decision simply because it would be hard to control the pace.


This confrontation gave him the opportunity to make a really big profit if he planned it out well.


‘I didn’t think he’d managed to obtain the Lich skill.’


However, the moment he heard that Oh Se-chan had obtained the Lich summoning skill, Kim Woo-jin’s plan changed.


‘Now that I have the Lich skill in hand, I don’t need to pretend with the Lightning King for too long.’


The need to work hard for the Lightning King in order to get the Lich skill had disappeared.


‘After dealing with Johann Georg.’


Kim Woo-jin’s plan was simple.


‘Reach level 180.’


After dealing with Johann Georg, he would get to level 180 as quickly as possible in order to learn the Lich Summoning skill. (TL: so discombobulating when he calls it ‘lich skill’ then ‘lich summoning skill’ lol)


‘After that, get rid of the Lightning King.’


Then, by removing the Lightning King, Thunderbird would become his.


‘And after dealing with the Lightning King, Lee Se-jun will be next.’
