Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 346: Winner of the Streamer Civil War
"Come down. Let’s fight honorably!"
Whisper’s words didn’t faze Ha Eung Eung in the slightest.
If she stayed where she was, she would soon die from falling as the mountain field crumbled, but why bother descending?
If she tried to fly using martial arts, she would struggle to stay aloft for even a minute, {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} but riding on a cloud dramatically increased her efficiency.
In other words, simply staying where she was would guarantee her victory.
Of course, Whisper wasn’t just going to sit idle.
"If you don’t come down, I’ll kill your daughter."
"!"
Whisper’s words were the threat of a true villain.
Ha Eung Eung, unwavering in the air, casually wrote in her notebook.
[Don’t worry, Mark 2. I will get my revenge with my own hands.]
"Ma'am..."
Villains are cruel.
But martial artists are even crueler than villains.
No hesitation, not even a second.Hostage (it’s fine if they die).Is this real?Normally, you don’t negotiate with terrorists, but this is something else. hahaMartial artists think differently than regular people.How can she say she’ll take revenge without even thinking for a second? haha
"Stop abandoning your daughter!!"
Lee So-hye, unable to stand it any longer, yelled out.
"Look at this. She fell, her clothes are torn, and she has bruises on her knees. Don’t you feel sorry for her?"

[If you go out, I’ll give you honey candy as a reward.]
"Before that, the kid will die! We’ve activated the endgame weapon and even got some help. You should repay that favor, not return it as hatred!"
Lee So-hye’s criticism was reasonable.
Honestly, after all this, please protect Mark 2!Mama Swordsman, come back!Let’s cherish Mark 2!
Ha Eung Eung had her own response.
[My cloud is a one-person ride.]
"......."
Ah, a one-person ride is unavoidable.Overcapacity hahaHow can you suddenly talk about realism while flying on a cloud?
The excuse was understandable.
But this anger was unbearable.
Just look at Mark 2, anxiously glancing at the crumbling mountain field.
She wasn’t worried about others’ kids, but her own child’s anxiety made her unwilling to let them ride on the cloud.
Enough is enough.
Lee So-hye’s Confucian values screamed.
‘How can a parent who isn’t acting like a parent, or a mother who isn’t acting like a mother, understand the principles of humanity, justice, and propriety!’
Lee So-hye’s whip resonated with her emotions, rising slowly in her mind.
"If you’re going to keep spouting that shameless nonsense, then you come down here and die with your kid!!"
<Awakening Ability - Haunted Whip>
<Evolutionary Trait - Range Extension (C)>
Lee So-hye’s whip pierced through Ha Eung Eung’s cloud.
"!!"
Startled, Ha Eung Eung hurriedly tried to move the cloud, but the already disintegrating cloud couldn’t support her weight and scattered.
"Ha ha ha ha! To be betrayed by your own subordinate, what a pathetic sight, Silent Swordsman!"
Whisper didn’t miss the opportunity and charged.
She couldn’t give any distance.
If Ha Eung Eung called another cloud and rose into the air, that would be the end of the match.
The moment her feet touched the ground, a strong pull grabbed her ankle, preventing her from making any distance.
Screeeech—
Lee So-hye’s whip, glowing ominously, wrapped around her ankle.
The will of a Confucian girl who couldn’t stand seeing a parent living alone, abandoning their child!
Wow! A rebellion!I thought it was over, but what a twist?Streaming genius managerThis channel is good.That streamer, that manager.So to become the Silent Swordsman’s manager, you have to destroy her cloud and grab her ankle, right?How do you even do that?Lee So-hye’s specs are crazy when you look at it like this.
"This is like playing the Demon King, so immersed in the role that I lost my humanity, capturing my former comrade, the Demon King Swordsman. It’s so thrilling!"
"So the main MC likes this sort of thing."
"Does Eom Gil-dong not like it?"
"If I say the wrong thing here, I might get killed after the broadcast, so no comment."
"If you say it like that, what does that make me?!"
Main MC Bang Ji-cheol became suddenly anxious, thinking of the aftermath of the broadcast because of Eom Gil-dong.
While his anxiety grew, the viewers had fun imagining the scenario.
HahahaWhy is this so funny?With this, Lee So-hye’s character is like a comrade saving the fallen hero, right?Seriously hahaSo does this mean Whisper is a hero now?Whisper’s image suddenly gets cleaned up.Being next to the Demon King Swordsman makes everyone seem good.Even so, Whisper as a hero...If Whisper can be worse than a Demon King who causes world destruction, then let’s see her try. haha
Ha Eung Eung, with one foot trapped, couldn’t escape.
Against her, Whisper’s sleeves swelled up, and explosive tension surged toward her.
<Northern Sea Ice Palace Peak Martial Art> <Ice White Divine Palm> <Mage Sect Peak Martial Art> <Flowing Sky Platform Fist> <Flooding One Stream>
Through the overwhelming tension pouring like a waterfall, a small amount of dark energy gathered and surged upward.
As she barely adapted to the pounding onslaught, the pale light of the energy pierced through the tension, drilling into Ha Eung Eung.
"!!"
Ha Eung Eung, twisting her body like a rotating pinwheel, extended her arms in a diagonal direction three times in succession, breaking through the dark energy.
A look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
‘That technique isn’t one I taught her.’
"Surprised? I’m using a technique you didn’t teach me."
A sinister energy gathered in Whisper’s hands.
"Martial arts have an identity. If you understand the core elements of martial arts and their tendencies, you can deduce what techniques exist."
[Don’t you think a self-made technique would lower the rank of martial arts?]
"Not at all. Martial arts are ultimately the power I wield. To truly make it my own, I must master that power and control it."
It was a difference in level.
A world of difference between the martial arts instructors who are content to follow given teachings.
As expected, Whisper, at a transcendent level, had the ability to refine martial arts and make them her own.
She even brilliantly utilized the game’s mechanics.
The additional external force from her martial arts, the power added from the blocks she had personally activated, only increased the effectiveness of her techniques.
‘It feels like the entire world of Battle Minesweeper is giving Whisper strength.’
The natural energy of this world strengthens those who follow the laws.
In this sense, Ha Eung Eung and Lee So-hye, who either rode on a boar without activating platforms or flew without stepping on them, received very little help from external forces.
The number of mines they detected was lower, and their defensive power was also poor.
"You noticed, huh?"
Whisper’s tension hummed in the air.
"In this game, at least for this grand match. I, Whisper, might surpass you, Silent Swordsman. Today, I will definitely defeat you!!"
The Northern Sea Ice Palace’s Ice White Divine Palm and the Mage Sect’s Flowing Sky Platform Fist.
The compatibility of these two techniques was nearly evenly matched.
Tension that freezes everything.
Tension that penetrates anything with water pressure.
Ice can freeze water, but strong water pressure can pierce through ice.
That’s why Ha Eung Eung added a cold wave to her technique.
The extreme cold freezes water into solid ice.
"Hmph, this is futile!"
To counter the increased power of Whisper’s tension, Ha Eung Eung had to make full use of the cold wave.
However, as Lee So-hye swung her whip, trying to throw off her balance and disrupt her movements, Ha Eung Eung found it difficult to adjust her stance and manage her weight.
It was a critical, life-threatening moment!
"Warning. Don’t attack Ma’am. Mark 2 is seriously angry."
"This idiot...! Don’t you know who’s fighting for whom right now?!"
The platforms were crumbling halfway down the mountain, heading toward the summit at an alarming speed.
Mark 2 didn’t care for Lee So-hye’s frantic heart and continued to hinder her.
No matter how much she hated it, she was still her mother!
<Ankle Flash Beam>
"Ah! I can’t see!"
Mark 2’s persistent interference finally unraveled Lee So-hye’s whip.
Surrounded by the huge icy pillars aimed to crush her, Ha Eung Eung regained her freedom of movement, and a column of ice shot upward.
Boom!!
Crash!!
Shattered ice fragments and scattered mist.
The natural energy spreading in all directions quickly transformed into tiny droplets, shaped like bullets.
‘That external force is annoyingly persistent!’
The natural energy from Battle Minesweeper, carried by Whisper’s dark power, had turned the force in the middle of the clash into Whisper’s advantage.
<Guardian Technique>
Whoosh—!!
The terrifying speed of the Guardian Technique whittled down the pillars.
<Mage Sect Peak Martial Art> <Flowing Sky Platform Fist> <Whisper’s Final Strike> <True Cataclysm Fist>
The force, designed like a magic circle, surrounded the Guardian Technique and exploded explosively with Whisper’s full strength.
<Draconic Magic> <Dragon Horn - Sun’s Horn> <Heavenly Light of Exorcism>
Boom!
The light emitted from the horn!
The combined power of the dragon’s strength and the exorcising power was suppressed by the intense flowing power.
Just before the light faded, Ha Eung Eung’s hands, having reorganized, unleashed twelve types of martial arts in quick succession.
<Multiple Martial Arts> <Secret Technique - Linked Chain of Twelve> <Linked Chain Twelve Forms>
Crack—
Crack—
The impact of the powers colliding almost caused the summit platform to collapse!
For a moment, Whisper felt her insides freeze.
Had the platform not collapsed, she instinctively sensed her final strike might have been pierced by Ha Eung Eung’s counterattack.
‘But it’s my victory.’
"530,000."
‘The final strike. If you cast all your power toward the ground, the rebound alone can send my body soaring into the air!’
The counterattack activated through Ha Eung Eung’s awakening ability.
The force of her Linked Chain Twelve Forms was spread through Whisper’s fingertips.
Whoosh!!
Whisper’s body shot up in terrifying speed!
‘This is...?’
On her arm, a familiar whip was wrapped around.
"Yahhh!"
Lee So-hye.
Her whip, extended from one arm, rose with Whisper, lifting her into the air.
‘Ah! If that woman rises higher than me, I’ll be the first to fall!’
She thought her role was to be the obstacle to Ha Eung Eung.
Ha Eung Eung and Whisper.
As both of them unleashed their final techniques, the whip that had survived until the end wove itself into the perfect moment.
A whip that couldn’t be unraveled or shaken off!
Whisper’s hand swung, shining like a sharp blade.
Swish!
Is this insane?!What judgment is that??She’s cutting her own arm where the whip is wrapped?
She sacrificed her arm to claim victory!
Lee So-hye gritted her teeth in frustration.
"Go! You idiot! If you’ve lasted this long, survive until the end!"
Lee So-hye swung the whip she had wrapped around the other arm, with all her might toward the sky.
At that moment, Mark 2, who had almost fallen into darkness, suddenly shot up, trading places with Lee So-hye, and rose back into the air.
[Lee So-hye has fallen to their death.]
[Remaining players - 3]
Ha Eung Eung, on the brink of falling.
Mark 2, who gained the airborne time by exchanging Lee So-hye’s life.
Whisper, who quickly discarded one hand to survive.
The final three.
The winner of the streamer civil war would soon be decided.
The ultimate air battle to determine it began.
