046.
-Tang!
Volfgang’s gun barrel spewed fire.
Ting!
However, despite the sound of the gun, the fired bullets were easily blocked.
“······?”
-Tatang! Tang!
Just in case, Idohyuk shot a few more times.
It was the same this time as well.
Ping! Ting!
An opponent easily parried the attack.
Just by taking a defensive stance and crouching, they managed to deflect the bullets.
Moreover, the opponent’s HP didn’t even suffer any damage.
“What the… gun…?”
Those words slipped out unintentionally.
Although it was a fighting game, he didn’t expect much firepower from a gun, but still, this was beyond his expectations.
-LOL
-How’s the taste of Wolfgang?
-Wolfgang shooting right off the bat LOL
-Dohyuk Sensei looks puzzled, hilarious
Ding-
[“SilverTeeth” has donated 5,000 won.]
“If you hit close, you can still deal some damage LOL”
At that moment, a kind viewer’s donation notification appeared.
“Is this character practically designed for close combat?”
Dohyuk had lived as a Hunter for a long time, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t handle firearms.
In fact, he was better at handling guns than most other weapons.
The outbreak occurred, and it took him 10 years to awaken.
For those who had lived through those 10 years of hell, guns were practically essential.
“…”
However, upon confirming the handgun’s firepower, his previous thoughts became distorted.
If it came to marksmanship, he was quite competitive, using it to defeat opponents.
Of course, that wasn’t a bad thing either.
In close combat, he was even more confident.
“Though Gun Kata is a bit bothersome…”
Dohyuk had mastered most weapon skills on Earth, but Gun Kata was not one of them.
A firearms martial art that maximized killing power by covering all directions with two guns.
Truly a martial art that seemed more fitting for movies or games.
Of course, with the superhuman physical abilities of the Hunters as a foundation, it might create quite a plausible martial art, but at the same time, one question arose.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to use a different weapon?”
Beyond a certain level, most extraterrestrial beings couldn’t be harmed with ordinary firepower.
While infusing magic heavily could enable proper impact even with firearms, it was inefficient.
Moreover, even though he was specialized in close combat, he could still perform some long-range attacks by concentrating magic and shooting it out or utilizing throwing knives.
In other words, it was more efficient to utilize a cold weapon with excellent magic conductivity rather than inefficiently loading magic into a gun.
Therefore, Gun Kata and similar firearms martial arts were extremely unfamiliar to Dohyuk.
“Hmm.”
But even that was fine.
– Heh, heh, heh.
– Hm, here it comes.
– No way, heh, heh, heh, already here, Hm?!
– Tsuki, emergency!
He had a good instructor.
Thwack!
Idohyuk lunged forward.
– hahahahaha
– Turns out Wolfgang is a newbie, hahahahaha.
– Is this really the skill level of the Korean heavenly realm (laughing)?
From Tsuki’s viewers’ perspective, it was a very amusing sight.
It was Tsuki who first established how to use Wolfgang. Consequently, his fans had an exceptional understanding of Wolfgang.
Shooting a gun from a distance, especially at the range when the match had just started, Wolfgang?
To anyone watching, it was evident that this was Wolfgang’s first time handling the character.
“Is he faking it?”
However, Tsuki’s thoughts were different.
No matter how the current Ultimate Fighter heavenly realm level might not be as good as before, there was still a huge gap.
Facing an opponent with a record of 43 wins and 0 losses was no simple feat.
And now that opponent was trying out Wolfgang for the first time?
“He’s trying to deceive me.”
With Wolfgang’s proficiency level at 0%, it seemed like a strategy to act as if handling the character for the first time and make Tsuki lower his guard.
“Am I really going to fall for that?”
Is the Korean martial arts master underestimating me too much?
With that thought, Tsuki aimed at the opponent rushing towards him.
As the opponent sprinted while being conscious of the barrel’s direction.
Considering Wolfgang’s high character specs, his running speed was quite fast.
But oddly enough, that was what Tsuki was hoping for.
Once a certain distance was reached, Tsuki’s gun began to fire.
– Bang! – Bang! – Bang!
This was the range where even with Wolfgang’s low firearm firepower, he could still inflict proper damage on the opponent.
Phew!
However, the opponent’s evasion skills were not to be underestimated.
Just by swiftly turning his head, the bullets grazed past the opponent’s head.
The remaining two shots were aimed at the opponent’s chest.
Once again, the opponent deftly dodged the bullets by lightly shifting his body.
“His reaction speed is… top-notch.”
But that wasn’t all.
The opponent’s ability to evade bullets with just the right movements showcased exceptional control over his body.
Indeed, his earlier appearance was undoubtedly an attempt to deceive.
As expected, there is no doubt that he is an extraordinary talent.
“Anatole Sangil is out of the question, but Beyond? Marionette?”
A few candidates for the opponent’s identity suddenly come to mind.
Of course, who the opponent is at the moment is of no importance.
Setting curiosity aside, first…
Thud!
Tzuki leaps towards the opponent.
Though Tzuki is praised as the best among the Wolfgang artisans, the truth is he is not skilled in marksmanship.
His true expertise lies in close-quarters combat.
In the past, there were even sayings like “Anatole the all-rounder, Tzuki the close combatant.”
Of course, those titles were eventually snatched away by the insane physicality of Beyond, but…
Regardless, Tzuki’s real forte was close-quarters combat.
He was at the top level in terms of physicality in Japan, and his skills in match management were equally exceptional.
It was simply due to Anatole, with both his presence and advantages, being superior in both aspects that Tzuki ended up being defeated in every world championship.
“But I have Wolfgang!”
Of course, that’s a thing of the past.
In the end, Tzuki overcame Anatole, his archenemy and rival.
In the final match of the Ultimate Fighter World Championship, where he was always defeated, Tzuki faced Anatole, not once but twice.
All made possible by Wolfgang, his soulmate character.
Several characteristics of the character Wolfgang.
Thanks to how well they aligned with Tzuki’s strengths.
For example,
Hook!
Although primarily a long-range character, due to being specialized in close combat, Wolfgang’s character performance was quite high.
Tzuki’s left hand extends, drawing a sharp curve.
Itohyuk also extends his hand to block it.
Clang!
The barrels clash, creating friction.
At that moment, Tzuki’s gun spins around.
Sliding as if scraping the opponent’s gun, he redirects the muzzle.
“Hmm?”
Itohyuk’s eyes briefly show surprise.
Tzuki’s muzzle is now pointing towards his head.
Swish!
– Bang!
However, almost simultaneously with the shot, Itohyuk is soaked.
Of course, Itohyuk’s reaction was quicker.
The fired bullet heads into the void.
But as if expecting to dodge, Tzuki lowers his stance before confirming the outcome.
His sharply raised elbow aims at Itohyuk.
Leaning back, Idohyuk was bound to have a delayed response.
This is Tsuki’s plan.
As such, he is one of the few gamers who can exhibit top-tier close combat skills even with Wolfgang in hand.
Thud!
But Idohyuk is the same.
Though it’s his first time handling Wolfgang, he had long adapted to its physical capabilities.
Due to his posture, less weight was put on, but his swiftly launched leg aimed for Tsuki’s temple.
Tsuki, deeming defense a priority over offense, urgently moved his arm.
Raising his arm to defend the side of his head, Tsuki.
Yet, he didn’t forget to aim at Idohyuk with the handgun in his other hand.
-Bang!
Thwack!
A gunshot passing between Idohyuk’s legs.
If he had been slightly slower to react, his thigh would have been pierced.
Thud! Thwack!
And the battle commenced.
The two pistols in Tsuki’s hands moved fiercely.
The pistol in his left hand targeted Idohyuk’s leg, abdomen, then shoulder.
While aiming for the neck with the opposite hand, he swiftly twisted his arm to adjust the trajectory upon evading, modifying the course.
Clang! Thud! -Bang!
-Splatter! Thwack!
Intermittently, the gun barrels also spewed fire several times.
Tsuki didn’t hesitate to fire the gun each time the opportunity arose to target his opponent.
This was why Tsuki, more than anyone else, could handle Wolfgang well and rise to the top of the world with Wolfgang!
He had an exceptional talent for handling weapons with both hands.
A talent born of a kind of multitasking ability.
Added to this innate talent were bone-grinding efforts, rhythm, adaptability, and the top-tier close combat skills he already possessed!
All of these elements that Tsuki possessed were magnified through the character Wolfgang.
-Kyah
-Is this for real?;
-They’re really going at it, lol
-For real, Tsuki can really pack a punch, Tsuki is Tsuki;
-In terms of career, he’s beyond top-tier, yeah
Without holding back in Idohyuk’s room or Tsuki’s room.
The chat window was buzzing.
-TSUKI! TSUKI!
-?????????!!!!
-Amazing! Tsuki, have you evolved even further?!
Only a few tens of seconds had passed since it started up until this point.
Just the brief clash in that short time was enough to astound the viewers.
‘…Avoiding or blocking all of this?’
However, Tsuki’s face did not look satisfied.
[Hm, seems worried]
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[Tsuki]
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Even though such a fierce exchange just unfolded, neither side suffered even a single point of HP loss.
In cases like this, it usually meant both sides were evenly matched in their exchange of blows.
The viewers also saw it that way, expressing their admiration continuously.
But Tsuki, the protagonist, had been feeling strange since earlier.
‘Why… aren’t they attacking?’
Is it correct to call this an exchange of blows?
In the recent clash, the only one targeting the opponent was Tsuki himself.
The opponent was merely avoiding, deflecting, and blocking Tsuki’s strikes.
As if… testing himself.
At that moment.
Tsuki and Ido-hyuk locked eyes.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Tsuki’s eyes as he read it on the opponent’s face.
Disappointment… about what?
“Ah.”
Ido-hyuk’s lips parted.
A sigh that seemed to carry a considerable amount of disappointment.
In reality, it was a bit more complex.
‘Ken Kata… Hm.’
A mix of admiration, joy at seeing the opponent, followed by disappointment, a sense of letdown, and various other emotions, swirled in his current state of mind.
Among these emotions, the latter of disappointment and letdown outweighed the others.
In the end, Ido-hyuk decided to express it in one sentence.
“A dual-wield weapon… that’s not how you use it…”
“Uh?”
Upon hearing these words, Tsuki was momentarily stunned, almost biting his tongue.
What did he just hear…?
Did Ultimate Fighter crash, leading to bugs even in the translation function?
**
-Lololololol
-???????
-It’s supposed to be like that here?
-That’s not how it’s done, lol
-Oh, lol, only Ido-hyuk-sensei can say something like that
-If there’s anyone who still hasn’t seen Ido-hyuk-sensei’s dual axe play, go watch a clip right now and come back, okay?
As soon as Lee Do-hyuk finished speaking, the chat window went crazy.
– Huh?
– Me?? What did I just hear?
– Kekekekekeke
– It’s a unique trait of Koreans not knowing about fountains, www
Of course, a completely different scene was unfolding in Tsuki’s chat window.
Viewers filled with shock and anger.
Sure, the Korean player who had just skillfully blocked all of Tsuki’s attacks moments ago was indeed impressive, but to say such things to Tsuki, who hadn’t really delivered a proper attack so far, was quite bold!
Smack!
But that thought was short-lived.
-?
-??
-???
-Whaaat?!
An unbelievable sight began to be broadcast on the screen.
Smack! Pow pow!
From Noble mtl dot com
Lee Do-hyuk’s arms moving swiftly.
– Bang! Fyung!
Two pistols spewing flames intermittently.
“Cough!”
Even Tsuki letting out a scream.
“The diversification of movements and patterns using two pistols to aim for unpredictability was good. Particularly the part where the guns were used as bludgeons at times and firearms at others. However…”
Along with that, Lee Do-hyuk’s advice (?) towards Tsuki poured out.
“While the variety in patterns is good, there’s a tendency to become monotonous, especially when shooting your gun. You seem to be overly focused on targeting the vitals to compensate for the low firepower, which can become predictable…”
– Bang! Pow! Pukak!
Fyung!
“Ugh!”
“It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but when you shoot, you should keep in mind that your movement and posture become fixed. This means that not only the response but also the anticipation of the next move becomes easier. Of course, it might work well against opponents who aren’t familiar with dual-wielding weapons…”
[Hm, I see]
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[Tsuki]
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
As if not just talking for the sake of it, Tsuki’s HP bar rapidly decreasing.
Ultimately,
[Tsuki]
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[PERFECT]
[DEFEAT]
These messages filled Tsuki’s broadcast screen.
“Well, but seriously, if this isn’t just teasing and you really are talented with dual-wielding weapons, that’s quite rare in my knowledge… Ah, but I wonder if this translation is accurate? Hmm… Ganbatte kudasai?”
That was the trembling chat window with those words from Ido Hyuk.
-LOLOLOLOL
-Hmm, Ganbatte, good job LOL
-LOLOLOLOLOL, Is that a boast about your talent, Nojae?
-Ah LOL, This time, you really have some talent.
-Korean + Japanese double insults, wow
-LOLOLOLOL, Watching Tsuki’s reaction right now, seriously hilarious
-This is Korean T-bagging!!!! Don’t you guys have this kind of thing?
-K-T-bagging, fully exported LOL
