Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 345: Cowardly Sorcery
Misfortune is the work of the gods.
Then, a possessor of a spirit, more than anyone, must be an unlucky person cruelly manipulated by the gods.
‘I thought it was an easy game, but there’s no other game as fundamentally opposing as this when the shortcuts are blocked.’
In the Minesweeper puzzle encoded in the program, even using the offensive skill couldn’t trigger mines early, and the Tapsul Muhun technique couldn’t bypass the explosions.
A battle strictly based on the rules that eliminates external interference.
This was the moment when the Silent Swordsman, Ha Eung Eung, became the weakest.
“What? You still haven’t activated the endgame weapon? What are you being lazy for?”
[Because the compatibility isn’t good.]
“Seriously. You should have just listened when I asked you to come with me. It would have been better if we came up together earlier.”
Lee So-hye let the boar loose and stood in front of the panel.
Beep.
Bzz- bzz-.
[Failed to input the Minesweeper decoding code.]
[Endgame weapon activation failed.]
[You may try again in 1 minute.]
“...Oh? That’s wrong.”
One fool has joined the group.Isn’t she just like the Silent Swordsman? hahaThat’s not how you play Minesweeper.
“Shut up! What do you think makes you any different? How hard do you think this is?!”
Of course, that didn’t mean the others were skilled at traditional Minesweeper either.
Without any shortcuts, a fair battle was difficult for anyone.
In other words, a contest bound by rules starts from the same starting line for everyone.
If people with the same running ability start from the same place, they will most likely reach the destination at almost the same time.
This means Ha Eung Eung and Lee So-hye, both equally unfortunate, were on the same level.
“Isn’t this cheating? There’s no way you can clear all these squares in 5 minutes without getting one wrong and just avoiding the mines!”
“False. It’s not cheating. Lee Da-hye has actually shown me how she activated the endgame weapon and cleared the game in front of my eyes.”
“Ah, Mark 2! You made it up here somehow? After all those falls.”
Boom.. Boom..
Even now, the ground was shaking from the clash between Baek So-cheon and Whisper down at the base of the mountain.
Mark 2, who had made it all the way up here while avoiding the chaos, was truly impressive.
“Discontent. If you don’t try to follow a speed as extreme as Mama’s, Mark 2 wouldn’t fall everywhere.”
“Good thing. From the stream donations, I thought you were actually going to die.”
Ha Eung Eung’s slightly embarrassed expression, as she withdrew her protruding mouth, was like watching a shy Mark 2. This made the chat room feel like a festival.
“Really. If you’re going to play the role of a mother, at least do it responsibly. Isn’t playing this game with your life on the line a bit much?”
[Of course, a game should be played with your life on the line. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be standing here.]
“Is that so? Even so, abandoning your child is too much. You’re messed up as a human, not just a streamer.”
There was a fundamental difference in what “playing with your life on the line” meant to her and what it meant to Lee So-hye, but Ha Eung Eung didn’t feel the need to explain it.
To understand what it means to have your life on the line in a game, one would have to experience it.
When your life is truly at risk, it’s no longer just a game; it becomes reality.
‘To be able to understand that means these two will also join games like The Martial Arts Memoirs. Honestly, I don’t like the idea of being understood like that.’
Mark 2 stared intensely at Ha Eung Eung.
“Suspicion. Something feels off.”
[Whatever you want to ask, this is first.]
“Curiosity. Is the endgame weapon still inactivated?”
[Yes. It seems my luck wasn’t good. How about Mark 2 tries it next?]
“Agreement. I couldn’t do it either.”
Ha Eung Eung and Lee So-hye raised their hands in surrender, and Mark 2, excited, dashed toward the endgame weapon.
The suspicious look she had directed at Ha Eung Eung was now replaced with pure enthusiasm.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Without hesitation, Mark 2 clicked on the screen.
With confident clicks, the blocks started flipping at an incredible speed.
“Wow, that’s insane. How are her hands so fast? No, how is she avoiding all the mines?”
“Pride. With a bit of learning ability and genius, pattern learning and deducing the correct answer from various possibilities isn’t difficult.”
Even while answering with her mouth, her hands never slowed down or stopped.
When she flipped all the panels, an alert appeared that neither of them had seen before.
[Mark-Ⅱ has successfully input the Minesweeper decoding code for the <Endgame Weapon – Earthquake Generator>.]
[Activating the <Endgame Weapon – Earthquake Generator>.]
An Earthquake Generator, yet it only triggers an earthquake, right?
What’s so special about it that it’s called an endgame weapon?
Though Ha Eung Eung, who could do something similar with her own body, thought indifferently, when the ground shook, her thoughts changed.
‘The intensity of the tremors is different.’
Unlike the tremors from the clash between Baek So-cheon and Whisper, which were caused by the collision of forces and vibrations traveling through the ground, this felt different.
The entire world seemed to be shaking, as if the earth itself was screaming, with the vision shaking up and down.
“!!”
“Ah! You’re too strong!”
“Warning. Be careful or you’ll fall off. Mark 2 warns you.”
In the distance, far below, a castle collapses.
Far below, a cave sinks.
Far behind, a maze collapses.
A field collapse occurred simultaneously in all fields except the mountain field!
They, who had reached the summit, could see it.
The ground splitting like a cake being cut.
The castle, the cave, and the maze disappeared into empty space, which opened like a bottomless pit, swallowing the players.
[Ujiwoo has fallen to their death.]
[Remaining players: 20]
[Black Path New Member, E-Razor has fallen to their death.]
[Remaining players: 19]
[Eve has fallen to their death.]
[Remaining players: 18]
[............]
[......]
For animals that cannot fly, having the ground to stand on disappearing is like the world ending.
How good you are at the game.
How skilled you are at martial arts.
These things become trivial in the face of such a catastrophe.
In the face of immediate survival threats, everyone can be wiped out in an instant.
[Baek So-cheon has fallen to their death.]
[Remaining players: 5]
In front of the endgame weapon, everyone is one hit away.Wow, we’re seeing this in the Newbie room.Seriously, unless it’s a high-level room, the game ends before you even get a chance ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) to use the endgame weapon.
Lee So-hye couldn’t hide her shock.
“Lie! Baek So-cheon, that person fell too?”
“Proud. The endgame weapon is that powerful. Mark 2 is a stronger dominator than the Grand Master, the strongest in Battle Minesweeper.”
[Incredible.]
Ha Eung Eung, for once, genuinely admired the situation.
Had she been caught up in that chaos without knowing anything, even she, as a martial arts master, might have been instantly killed if she had let her guard down.
If the earthquake is this strong on the mountaintop, it must be even more powerful down below.
‘Even a master of light-body techniques would likely not be able to keep their balance and would be instantly killed.’

Unless you have a light-body technique that defies gravity, like Egi Chongcheon or Chunsangbi that lets you fly high, or Nyeolgong Heodo that lets you run on the sky, it’s the end.
Even if it’s possible, with the ground gone, if you’re not near the mountain field, your internal energy will deplete quickly and you’ll sink into the pitch-black darkness.
‘Light-body techniques that defy gravity are highly consuming. The consumption rate increases exponentially every second.’
Even someone with 61 years of internal energy like her couldn’t fly for more than a minute without touching the ground.
“P-please save me!!”
“Ah, Dashman. Should I kill you?”
Lee So-hye casually pulled out her whip.
“Gathered up like rats...”
“W-what do we do! Whisper!!”
She screamed like a bird and grabbed Ha Eung Eung’s arm, shaking it wildly.
“Do something quickly!”
“Agreement. Whisper is in danger. Mark 2 also requests Mama’s help.”
Ha Eung Eung, irritated by the two people shaking her from behind, hit their heads with her fist, full of mild anger.
“Ah!”
“Ouch.”
[Don’t shake me. You can’t move if you grab my sleeves. I was already planning to act, so stop shaking me.]
Amidst the violent earthquake, Ha Eung Eung wrote fiercely!
“What did you write?!”
“Hurry. The writing doesn’t matter. We need to take down Whisper.”
[Dashman has been killed.]
[Remaining players: 4]
In that brief moment, Dashman, who had been asking for help, was caught by Whisper and eliminated.
The final four gathered in the mountain field.
But is this a win?Why?This side has the Cloud Swordsman, right?AhAhh
The final battle to determine the winner of the Haenampa civil war.
Ha Eung Eung, floating on clouds, looked down as Lee So-hye and Mark 2 looked up at her with eyes full of betrayal.
“This cowardly bastard. Using sorcery.”
Even Whisper, a high-ranking member of the villain organization, couldn’t hold back her resentment and shot a sharp look at Ha Eung Eung.
