Chapter 303: Viewer Participation PVP 6
"You've clearly passed Grand Master…… Challenger?"
"That's right. Though I'm stuck hovering around the lower ranks."
Last-desperate-pull shrugged as they answered. Rather than the usual subtle boast, the tone and content carried unmistakable self-deprecation.
Even hovering at the bottom of Challenger tier was something many would consider remarkable, but they themselves seemed entirely unsatisfied.
W̃ e.b nо vе l Èǹú mа̌_
Though it would be hard to dismiss that simply as having too much to eat. The desire to reach higher was a drive most people shared.
Given last-desperate-pull's own expression of "stuck hovering around the lower ranks," it seemed they were barely scraping back and forth between Grand Master and Challenger—which made the feeling all the more understandable.

"So I intend to properly learn something today. Enough to go even higher!"
- If you're already Challenger just be happy already! - Maybe they got to Challenger precisely because they couldn't be satisfied - Though honestly it's probably only here where a Challenger showing up to a solo streamer's viewer participation gets zero reaction lol - That's because it's the number one amateur Challenger stream
Last-desperate-pull, burning with enthusiasm, looked straight at Baek Woohyun. Their eyes held not even a speck of intention to give up after three attack chances.
They were going to cling on tooth and nail and wring out every last thing they could learn. Their entire body radiated that resolve.
Е̇ n̆_ũmа.і̌ ḋ
Setting aside the fact that the Handicap Match was ongoing, this was exactly the kind of attitude that Baek Woohyun—having once served as an instructor—found genuinely appealing.
So he smiled and gave a small nod, as if to say go ahead, show me what you've got.
His expression showed he'd cleanly swept aside any thought that a drawn-out fight with last-desperate-pull might affect the subsequent Handicap Matches.
The reason he had spent so long in the role of instructor with the Avengers was that it suited his nature—and that hadn't changed here either.

[3 seconds] [2 seconds] [1 second] [Round 1—Begin!]
"[Wave Riding]!"
Е̌ n̂u m ȧ . id̃
Shwooooosh—!
["Oh! Last-desperate-pull immediately closes the distance!"]
["Choosing close combat right out of the gate. That's an incredibly bold gamble!"]
- Is this the right call? - Maybe because there's no point keeping distance anyway? - Given that it's a chain scythe, staying back isn't really an answer either… - But close combat against the Hackphysical lmaooo
Remarkably, last-desperate-pull chose to use [Wave Riding] to close in the moment the fight started. They were trying to shorten the distance against Baek Woohyun.
Riding crashing, surging waves, they rushed to Baek Woohyun's position in an instant—and the panelists watching from the studio let out startled cries.

That just went to show how unthinkable it was for anyone to gamble on close combat against a monster like Baek Woohyun.
And last-desperate-pull didn't stop there—they activated their ultimate Art, [Crushing Wave], as well. The wave they rode surged dramatically upward, its momentum building to a peak.
The wall of seawater ultimately aimed at none other than Baek Woohyun. A tidal wave reminiscent of a tsunami bore down on him.
A miracle achievable only through supernatural ability—a storm of the sea swept through a Colosseum that had not had a single drop of water moments before.
Boom—!
Feeling the massive wave bearing down on him, Baek Woohyun stepped forward. The stomp carried the force of a superhuman body and sent a heavy shockwave rippling outward.
W̄ ē b̈ n̂о̊v̆еl̆ Е̌ n̆ u m̀ ā
With all his stats reduced by forty-five percent, the best he could do was wring out every last drop of the strength he had left.
Gripping the chain scythe, he drew a deep breath and twisted his entire body. The chain unfurled with a shrrrr— and danced through the air.

The chain traced a great arc in the sky, and the sharp blade at its end flashed. It held within it all the will of a superhuman facing down a natural disaster in the form of a tidal wave.
["The Hackphysical fires back with everything he has! He swings the chain scythe as if to say he'd rather kill than retreat!"]
["Kill, not die?"]
["That does sound like Woohyun to me."]
Wе̊b̂ n оv е̊l̈ Еn̂ u m̂ӑ
- ???: Why retreat? Just kill it. - The will to absolutely destroy someone who dared to challenge him in close range - Trying to stop a tidal wave with a chain scythe lmaooo - This is exactly why you watch the Hackphysical lmaooo
"Come on, keep it up!"
Last-desperate-pull roared from atop the massive wave.
The waves that had risen so high cast deep shadows beneath them—like looking into the depths of the ocean itself. One might almost say a piece of the deep sea had been torn loose and brought here.

This was truly the level of supernatural ability control that could earn a place in Challenger tier—the tier called the realm beyond human limits, or the gathering of the strongest in the human world.
"……"
E n̈u m̌а . i d̈
Shrrrr-rrrr—!
Instead of responding, Baek Woohyun swung the chain scythe with even greater force. It was a counterattack carrying enough power to make his own body creak.
When the chain scythe, continuing its circular motion, collided with the first wave at his will, a sound like a raging storm erupted and spray exploded in every direction.
A wave large enough to easily swallow a person whole was torn to shreds before it could even reach him—as if it had crashed into a heavy seawall.
The relentless assault of the waves that followed fared no differently. He didn't retreat a single step.
The waves that had risen several meters high were smashed apart without mercy, reduced to droplets carrying no force at all as they brushed faintly past him.

As if even a tsunami—one of nature's most iconic disasters—was no match for a superhuman.
Now!
After crushing the fourth wave, Baek Woohyun's eyes gleamed coldly. He hurled the chain scythe beyond the tidal wave, loading it with all the centrifugal force he'd built up.
The blade at the end of the chain sliced mercilessly through the seawater and drove toward last-desperate-pull, who had been shielded by layer upon layer of waves.
It was a strike that would inevitably shock last-desperate-pull, who had still believed the offensive was in their hands even as they were being held at bay.
"Ugh! [Ocean's Blessing]!"
Е̊ n̆ üm̆.ӑ . іd
Clang—!
Last-desperate-pull was caught off guard and used a defensive Art, deflecting the chain scythe aimed at them—but there was a price to pay for that brief lapse of focus.

[Crushing Wave], which would never have stopped as long as their supernatural ability control held, collapsed before Baek Woohyun's counterattack and its flow was severed.
The swells that had evoked the image of the deepest ocean all crumbled at once and sank to the ground.
"Mm."
Shrrr—
Е̊n umа . і́d̂
Watching the roiling waves fall still, Baek Woohyun deftly recalled the chain scythe. His manner declared that his objective had already been achieved.
And why not—the opponent's attack, ultimate Art and all, had been fully blocked, and the only damage he'd taken was getting wet.
Last-desperate-pull faltered back a step, while he took one more forward at an unhurried pace. It was a scene that made clear exactly which side held the advantage.
"Not yet—it's not over! [Water Spray]!"

- They're not giving up? - Isn't this a GG once the ultimate gets blocked? - If your gamble fails you should fold! - Keep fighting to the end, I'm rooting for you
But even in a situation that looked all but hopeless, last-desperate-pull had not given up. As they saw it, [Crushing Wave] had done its job.
Е̇ nu ṁӓ.і̃d
The Colosseum, which had been bone dry when the fight began before the great tidal wave swept through, now had seawater pooled up to ankle level.
Meaning a perfectly ideal environment had been created for those who had reduced their combat correction to gain freedom in their supernatural ability Arts.
Splasssh—!
To be sure, the [Water Spray] they unleashed clearly didn't match [Crushing Wave] in destructive force. That was natural, given the gap between a regular Art and an ultimate.
But that didn't mean it had no advantages whatsoever. Especially now, with seawater pooled deep enough to reach the ankles.
In sync with the direction last-desperate-pull swept their hand, the water pooled on the ground shot upward. Remarkably, it was indiscriminate as to location.

[Water Spray] erupted simultaneously and in succession from Baek Woohyun's front, back, left, and right, firing toward him—already somewhat drained from the earlier exchange.
Slassssh!
["—Huh?"]
["Did that……land?"]
["What?"]
- That actually landed? - First successful hit!! - Where's the guy who was saying to give up just now lmaooo - How dare you tell a Challenger who just landed a hit on the Hackphysical what to do!!
W̌ е̌ b n̊ o v̇ e l Е n ũ m̃а
"Well now."
Baek Woohyun let out a rueful smile as [Water Spray] carved a gash across his cheek.

In truth, the reason he hadn't continued pressing his attack when the chain scythe was deflected by [Ocean's Blessing] had nothing to do with having achieved his objective.
His ultimate goal in a fight was to bring down the opponent—and he had no reason to recall the chain scythe when the situation was in his favor.
Easy to forget given how natural it all looked, but he was currently operating with all stats reduced by forty-five percent, compensating for it solely through his own unique ability.
When he had taken a head-on assault from an opponent with far greater supernatural ability output and blocked it directly, there was simply no way he could come out unscathed.
Еňŭ m_a
By the point he had head-on shattered [Crushing Wave] and then struck through [Ocean's Blessing], his body had already been screaming at its limit.
"You found the right crack to hit."
"Oh, oh—"
"An achievement born from not giving up. Well done. '78-year-old-Nayeon-grandma's-last-desperate-pull'."

["Don't read out the full nickname!"]
- The reason demons hate their true name being spoken - Pretty sure that's a different situation lol - Sounds catastrophic even hearing it again - That was a result worthy of a last-desperate-pull
Ӗ n̄ ú ḿ а
Baek Woohyun was generous with his praise for the delighted last-desperate-pull. The fact that they had chosen to fight until the very end without giving up satisfied him as well.
The boldness to gamble from the very start, and the tenacity to not give up even after it was blocked. The last-desperate-pull truly was something else.
Someone whose name had been hijacked screamed in the background—but regardless.
Crack.
"Guh!"
[Round 1 End] [Winner: Baek Woohyun] [Loser: (Anonymous)]

- Lost but fought well - First person in viewer participation to actually land a hit - Not a Challenger for nothing - Or is it just me? The way the Hackphysical finishes them off felt a bit more vicious than before lol
'ㅇㅇ' donated 1,000 won!
[Getting a scratch on his own cheek and burying the blade in the opponent's skull—is that normal lmaooo]
But that was as far as it went. The only trophy given to last-desperate-pull was the bragging rights of having landed a scratch.
By burying the chain scythe into last-desperate-pull's skull, Baek Woohyun had proven that even Challenger tier fell short of him with all stats reduced by forty-five percent.
A lost-but-fought-well was still a loss—it couldn't take the victory away.
W е b̄ n оv̄е̃l. .E n̄úm̄а
The Handicap Matches that followed, he won even more easily than he had against last-desperate-pull.
It wasn't a particularly surprising result—even if the restriction on his stats had grown heavier, viewers in lower tiers were still far outmatched.

Watching him maintain his winning streak even with over half of all his stats reduced, the viewers felt an intense thrill run through them.
["Just how thick is that chain going to get!"]
["This somehow feels newly impressive all over again."]
- At this rate he's going to win with no supernatural ability at all - He said he'd show a regular person hunting Awakeners in Reverse City—is this leading up to that? - That would be absolutely insane - "Supernatural ability is merely an accessory"—is this happening?? lmaooo
En ú mа̄ . і̇d̃
It had gotten to the point where people were openly wondering whether he might end up winning even after losing all his supernatural ability entirely!
