Chapter 78: The Fall of Legends: Betrayal and Rising Tensions

– Mindless Spicy Martial Arts Tournament

The Changwon Guild’s troublemaking trio An Changyoon, Kim Giltae, and Lee Jeongeuneun were in a major crisis.

“Seriously, I’ve climbed up all the way, and now I have to go another 100m? That damn Earthworm is crazy.”

“Are you scared?”

“Scared, my ass. Don’t you know this is all your fault? Stop talking nonsense and start running.”

Using Kim Giltae’s brute force to defeat other competitors, Lee Jeongeuneun’s telekinesis to soar through the shortest distance in midair,

and An Changyoon’s phase-shifting ability to switch places with rocks that were thrown high,

they used surprise attacks to regain the numerical advantage whenever they were falling behind.

Their teamwork was effective, allowing them to make it to the last six together.

[Ah, we can see the three-man group who’s currently trailing behind. Shall we take a quick look?]

However, the remaining contestants were all A-tier and highly skilled.

The trio, who had climbed using the help of their team, naturally fell behind the other survivors.

[If the Earthworm moves just a few squares, their elimination will be confirmed. How are you feeling right now?]

• “Is that even a question? Ha ha ha!”
• “I bet you’re really frustrated right now. Feeling angry?”
• “Hey, are you crying? Crying, huh?”

The trio, whose elimination seemed imminent, glared at Joo Ahyoung, who had leisurely landed on a nearby rock.

While they were physically and mentally exhausted, pushing their limits with their skills and dwindling stamina,

Joo Ahyoung seemed to be on a pleasant outing, full of energy.

[The three from Changwon Guild, don’t just focus on the top! Take a moment and do an interview with the bottom group!]

“Are you blind? Can’t you see we’re struggling to even survive?”
“Don’t touch me.”
“Go do the interview with someone else.”

[You’re going to help us? Oh, thank you! Even as elimination looms, you’re still doing the interview with such enthusiasm, and I am truly moved by this attitude!]

• “Just ask us if you really want an answer, ha ha ha!”
• “Why even ask if you know the answer?”
• “It’s… fun?”
• “The same annoying sisters…”
• “But where’s the Silent Swordsman?”
• “What’s so great about winning the tournament? Asking for the 381st time.”

Unable to hold back, Kim Giltae raised his iron spear.

“You bastard, I told you not to do it!”

Suddenly, Kim Giltae’s powerful spear throw!

The spear, flying like a shell, destroyed the rock formation where Joo Ahyoung had landed with a loud crash.

As the shattered stone fragments tumbled down, Joo Ahyoung’s lighthearted jump sounded as she landed 10 meters away on another rock.

[But why attack the host just because you’re angry? No wonder you’re in last place.]

• “Ha ha ha! He really lost it!”
• “That was a savage attack!”
• “I can’t stand her little jump sound.”
• “What does ‘king-bad’ even mean?”
• “It means upset.”
• “Why is ‘king’ in front of ‘bad’?”

The viewers’ frustration continued to rise as Kim Giltae attempted to retaliate and break through a wall with his fist,

but the two who had just been mocking him were already gone.

[How does it feel to be betrayed by your teammates and left behind at the bottom?]
“I’m going to kill all of you, you b*tch!!”

• No-holds-barred Kim Giltae, the real man! Ha ha ha!
• You can practically hear his salary melting away.
• Changwon Guild Leader’s blood pressure treatment is working well Sejong Daeyeol
• Aaaah, I’m going crazy!
• Our villain’s voice is really annoying.
• Alexander Daeyeol
• Crazy person getting mad at domestic king bringing in foreign ones now.
• We’re not getting high blood pressure. Stop, you idiot!
• Is thermodynamics now ‘king-thermodynamics’? What nonsense.
• ?? Thermodynamics should be king-thermodynamics.
• Shut up, you suicide kings.
• Oh, suicide fever.
• Fever, huh? Ha ha ha.

“Who even does interviews like this, damn it…?”
Frustrated by Joo Ahyoung’s constant teasing, Kim Giltae completely snapped.

He pointed his finger at her and yelled, but tripped and fell, plummeting to the ground.

[Player 93, Kim Giltae, has been eaten by the Earthworm and died.]
[Earthworm – 10 kills]
[Remaining participants – 5]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

• He dies in such a pathetic way. Ha ha ha
• The death interview. Ha ha ha
• If the progression is slow, just do an interview, right? Ha ha ha

[Uh… there was a slight accident. Should we go back to the interview with the last place participants?]

• One more person’s saying they’re going to kill someone else.
• Death is no stranger. Ha ha ha.

Lee Changwon and Lee Jeongeun, who had desperately tried to distance themselves,

looked unbothered as they lightly hopped near Joo Ahyoung, the seasoned Jumping Rabbit.

They could now understand how Kim Giltae must have felt when he threw the spear without hesitation.

Kim Giltae was simply… a pioneer who had realized it earlier than them. That wicked b*tch deserved to die.

[Now, only the last 5 remain. Anyone here willing to sacrifice for their teammates and say it openly?]
[Ah, it’s a bit awkward when there’s no talk during a tournament. Anyway, one of you two will be eliminated, so feel free to speak!]
[Hey~ can you hear me? Just because you try hard doesn’t mean it’ll work out, just do the interview Okay?]
[You’re running wrong. Come on.]
[Ah, you idiot, heh heh.]

With the two remaining participants trying to avoid the interview and Joo Ahyoung desperately seeking answers,

the pride battle came to a head when An Changyoon finally plopped down in his place.

“Alright, I’ll do the interview, so just shut up!”

[Eh~ I don’t think it’ll be interesting, so forget it. We’ll just do the final 4 interviews later.]

• Changwon Guild, what did you do wrong?
• Being ugly is a sin.
• What an evil b*tch, it’s dizzying.
• Even if you say that, Joo Ahyoung landed while laughing.

[If you have any last words for your teammates before elimination, say them now!]
Joo Ahyoung extended the microphone, and An Changyoon grabbed her arm.

“I don’t have any words for you, you b*tch. You’re dead now! Kim Giltae, I’m sorry I didn’t understand how you felt! I’ll kill this b*tch and die with her!!”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

• A dramatic reconciliation. Ha ha ha ha ha.
• The public enemy is terrifying indeed.
• They’re fighting with the host instead of the players. Ha ha ha.
• The tournament level is absolutely amazing, right?

Holding on tightly to Joo Ahyoung’s arm as if prepared to be eaten by the Earthworm, An Changyoon shouted his last words.

[Who’s going to die with you? Ha, whatever. I’m leaving, so you can die alone.]
With a pouting expression, Joo Ahyoung assumed the rabbit-jump stance and soared 30 meters up in one bound, easily surpassing her previous jumps.

[How do you feel about being betrayed by your teammates and left at the bottom?]

“I’m gonna kill them all, those f*cking bastards!!”

• No backing down, true man Kim Giltae
• Can you hear the sound of his salary melting away?
• The guild leader of Changwon will surely get his low blood pressure treated now – Sejongdaeyeol
• Aaahh, I think I’m gonna lose my mind, I think I’m gonna lose my mind!
• Our villain speaking Korean is really triggering
• Aleksandro Daeyeol
• This crazy guy hates domestic stuff and goes for imported stuff
• We haven’t gotten low blood pressure, stop it you bastard!!
• Is thermodynamics the same as “Kingodynamics”? What kind of nonsense is this?
• ?? Thermodynamics might actually be “Kingodynamics.”
• Shut up, you suicide-king-like bastards
• Oh, Suicide fever
• Fever, hahaha, ᄏᄏᄏ
• We’re more pissed than Giltae, who’s about to be eliminated

“The hell is this interview being done like this, what kind of idiot does it like this…”

Kim Giltae, whose temper exploded because of Joo Ahyoung constantly provoking him, was yelling at her while pointing his finger, but tripped and fell down.

[Player 93 Kim Giltae was eaten by the Earth Worm and died.]

[Earth Worm – 10 kills]

[Remaining participants – 5]

• Dying in such a miserable way, haha
• Death interview, haha
• Oh, they say if the progress is slow, just do an interview, haha [Uhm… there was a slight incident. Should we go back to the bottom interview now?]
• Means the last one will be killed
• There’s no reaper here, haha The two participants, Lee Changwon and Lee Jeongeun, who had been desperately trying to widen the distance, weren’t tired at all. They were casually making their way toward Joo Ahyoung, the seasoned Jumping Rabbit, and understood Kim Giltae’s feelings as he threw the spear recklessly.

Kim Giltae was just… a pioneer who had figured it out first before the two of them. That vicious b*tch deserved to die.

[Now, only 5 participants remain. Would anyone like to sacrifice themselves for their teammates?]

[Ah, in a competition, if you’re too quiet, it’s a problem. Anyway, one of you will be eliminated, so feel free to talk!]

[Hey, can you hear me? Just because you try hard doesn’t mean it works, so just do the interview okay?]

[You’re not supposed to run like that.]

[Ah, you idiot, haha.]

The two participants trying to evade the interview and Joo Ahyoung, who was desperately trying to get a response.

After an intense battle of pride, Ahn Changyun collapsed into his spot.

“Fine, I’ll do the interview, just shut up for a bit!”

[Eh~ I think it’ll be boring, so it’s okay. We’ll do the final 4 interview with the last four players.]

• What crime did Changwon guild commit?
• Being ugly
• That vicious b*tch is dizzy Even though they said those things, Joo Ahyoung, laughing, landed with a grin.

[If you have something to say to your teammates before you get eliminated, tell us!]

As Joo Ahyoung extended the microphone, Ahn Changyun grabbed her arm.

“I don’t have anything to say, you f*cking b*tch, you’re dead now! Kim Giltae, I’m sorry I didn’t understand your feelings! I’ll kill this b*tch and die with her!!”

• Dramatic reconciliation, haha
• Public enemy is terrifying like this
• I said fight between the contestants, not with the host, haha
• The level of this competition is seriously amazing, right? Ahn Changyun, with the resolution to be eaten by the Earth Worm along with Joo Ahyoung, tightly held onto her arm.

[Who will die with me? Hmph, forget it. I’ll go, so die alone.]

With a sulking face, Joo Ahyoung assumed the “rabbit hop” position, and in one massive leap,

she soared to 30m in height, leaving the previous jumps in the dust.
