I Have a Reason to Hate Streamers-Chapter 210
Facing a worthy opponent is a delightful experience.
Though it started with a small trick, there was no doubt that Kelberos had taken a new step forward.
Ga-wol shared his sword with a joyful heart.
The sharp sword flashes reflected the crimson flames several times.
The scent of burning powder scattered across the blade, and the fierce air pressure pushed the smoke away.
The countless exchanges were too fast to track with the eye.
The timing and technique of switching weapons had improved compared to earlier.
The blades of both swords screamed fiercely as they came together. The longsword transformed into a greatsword.
The inward-curved blade aimed for Ga-wol’s chest, bypassing his defense.
An attack coming at an impossible angle and direction.
As the form of the sword changed in real-time, blocking it no longer meant stopping it.
It felt as though he were facing a living weapon.
The inward curve of the blade barely tore at Ga-wol’s collar.
Just a little, but it meant that Kelberos had learned to disrupt her calculations.
"Unexpectedly, Kelberos is taking the lead and pushing forward."
"Indeed, his attacks per unit of time are more frequent. Ga-wol still has the 'Corpse Poison' debuff on him, which keeps him slowed down."
"However, he hasn’t landed a valid hit yet. Instead, Ga-wol is accumulating damage every time he counterattacks."
"Can this really be happening? The side attacking more often and faster is in an overwhelmingly worse position."
"The more you attack... the more it feels like sinking into a swamp."
It’s suffocating.
In quicksand, the more you struggle, the more tightly it binds you.
The sand that has hardened is nearly impossible to remove, even from the outside.
Kelberos knew well that his attacks were not having much effect.
But he couldn’t stop. If he didn’t use his speed advantage, he’d be quickly consumed.
For now, his best option was to continue attacking and find a gap.
Unlike the increasingly impatient Kelberos, Ga-wol smiled as if enjoying herself.
Her expression even showed a hint of ease.
‘It feels like I'm getting used to it.’
The Weapon Master’s “Spirit Weapon” is a great identity.
It’s a skill that lets you use any weapon optimized for the situation, as long as your own weapon skills support it.
Under the assumption that you have the proper swordsmanship, it’s a highly valuable skill.
However, the “Spirit Weapon” can’t truly manifest any kind of weapon.
Even with modern advanced science, it’s impossible to directly materialize vague concepts.
The game simply stores all usable weapons and pulls out the most similar ones as needed.
There’s a limit to how bizarre the weapon can be.
At first, it may seem like a tricky, unconventional attack, but it can’t remain that way forever.
Once you stack up enough data in your mind, you eventually get used to it.
Moreover, the unconventional nature ultimately comes down to psychological warfare with the opponent.
If Ga-wol himself couldn’t overcome this, then victory would remain out of reach.
"So! The situation is improving greatly for Sigma eSports!"
"Ga-wol is pushing the enemy’s ace in an isolated part of the battlefield."
"Rika has done a good job of reducing the undead, and Camellia and Outlaw’s synergy is quite strong."
"The frost mage’s return to battle was far too late. Although he didn’t die, the damage Ga-wol received was substantial."
"Thanks to that, the bard’s support couldn’t function properly. The lack of power was critical."
Time kept ticking away.
Once golden time ends, only the inevitable doom remains.
AT, who had started with power, failed to capitalize on it, so Sigma, whose strength was reserved for the late game, had grown stronger.
The flames summoned by Sigma now covered the entire battlefield.
In such an environment, it was impossible to easily control the undead.
The necromancer’s power had noticeably weakened, but Rika’s mana was still at nearly half.
If we exclude the casualties and the two aces on both sides,
Sigma’s effective forces were four, while AT’s effective forces were barely two.
Though there was a size difference, it wasn’t a gap that could be easily overcome.
Valkyrie, especially in good condition, bore a heavy burden.
With both sides relying heavily on ranged damage dealers, once the firepower began, it would be immense.
But if she didn’t step forward, everyone else would be wiped out.
It couldn’t last much longer.
Even though AT hastily deployed their remaining forces, they couldn’t overcome the disadvantage.
And then, Camellia, entering with a blink, rang the pleasant bell of victory.
["‘Sigma Camellia’ has eliminated ‘AT Valkyrie.’"]
["‘Sigma Outlaw’ has eliminated ‘AT Orpheus.’"]
["‘AT Sekhmet’ has eliminated ‘Sigma Camellia.’"]
In the continuous battles, Sigma’s main team won in large numbers.
Before the flames died down, Ga-wol finished his fight.
The mesmerizing silver-haired swordswoman grinned.
The female swordsman pinned Kelberos’s shoulder with both knees.
The sword she held with both hands drove straight into the Weapon Master’s neck.
Kelberos watched the sword that pierced him with wide-open eyes.
"Just a little more... there’s not much left."
"I don’t know, my thoughts are a little different."
["‘Sigma Ga-wol’ has eliminated ‘AT Kelberos.’"]

It’s unbelievable.

The chronic survival problems have been mostly solved.
I even made a memorable moment by stopping Phantom’s attack and surviving.

HahahaIt’s out!
《Finally, the long-awaited third set of the World Championship Final.》
《Currently, Sigma eSports is...》
The rest period between matches always feels short.
I refreshed myself with some cold water, nibbling on some nuts, and cleared my mind again.
This match could be the last match of the World Championship.
We’re definitely ahead, so it would be great to ride this momentum to victory.
We all stood together and raised our right hands.
Luche placed her hand on mine, and I placed my hand on top of hers, with Hekate’s hand on top of mine.
We could feel each other’s subtle body warmth and the tension in the air.
But in our exchanged glances, we all shared the hope of being united.
“We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?”
“Yeah. We really made it this far.”
“Just one more step. Let’s go.”
With a powerful shout, we all lowered our hands together.
We were heading either to the battlefield or to the waiting room, but in that moment, I realized I really liked this moment.
My teammates silently adjusted their pace for me.
This quiet consideration warmed a part of my heart.
As I had dreamed for so long, it felt like walking on clouds as we reached our destination.
《Sigma eSports has pushed defending champions AT to the brink in the third set.》
《Sigma eSports is just one step away from achieving a miracle.》
《We now reveal the battlefield and the rules.》
