Chapter 27: The Shield’s Surprise

“LoL 1v1, is that okay?”

[I’m okay with it… but are you confident?]

I’m really speechless. Speechless.

Not only did they call me FakeSol, but they also looked down on my LoL skills. This malice had to be nipped in the bud, even brutally crushed.

“I’ll make a room, so come in. I’ll put the room title and password in the YesCord chat.”

[Haven’t you made it yet? As expected of Iron, you’re slow.]

“…Ha. Everyone. Wait a moment. I’m going to kill this FakeSol and take back SolNoon.”

[lol]
[Hmm… who’s the FakeSol?]
[It doesn’t seem like Iron will win against anyone]

-ShieldLikesLikes entered.

“Um… is this you? ShieldLikesLikes…?”

[Who else would it be?]

“Wow… you use a pretty cute nickname compared to the malice you have.”

[I’m sure you’re better?]

“………”

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Mirror therapy ON]
[Ah, today is so funny lol]
[That’s right, that’s right, SolNoon is the GOAT of malice]

Leaving behind the opponent’s sharp counter punch and the jeers of the viewers cheering for it, I first checked the opponent’s information. Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is the key to winning every battle.

Since the opponent was my viewer, they would know everything about me, so this was the only way to make it even a little fair.

[Current Rank: Gold III]

“Hmm… your tier is Gold?”

[Yes. You can say it’s a human-like tier. Unlike someone.]

“………”

Gold and Iron.

Both tiers were commonly seen around, but unfortunately, there was a huge wall between them.

In short, the clash between the two… meant that one side had severely collapsed.

[Biiiiiisang(Emergency)!!]
[lol You’re screwed]
[Goodbye SolNoon… It was fun with you.]

Is that why? The chat window was reacting as if I was already dead.

[Goodbye SolBao ㅠㅠ]

-[★SolNoon Squad★] SolNoonNo1Fan donated ₩1,000.
[What? Am I becoming a FakeSol Squad member now? I’m screwed.]

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Are there any subscribers who are fools~~~~~~~~] (This message has been blocked. Reason: Inappropriate chat)

Perhaps because the atmosphere was so exciting, there were those who were starting to cross the line.

As a pro streamer, I can tolerate people 욕(Yok/cussing) me, but I can’t tolerate people 욕(Yok/cussing) our SolNoon Squad. You guys just get a permanent ban.

“Okay, okay, if you cross the line, you’ll be banned right away. And everyone, don’t worry too much. My pure skill isn’t Iron. I’ve been intentionally not going up until now.”

[Sure, sure~ That’s what you would say~]
[Those who are really bad always say that]

“Ahem! Then, FakeSol nim, are you ready?”

[Let’s just start quickly? I’m getting tired of being called FakeSol. As a real ‘SolNoon’.]

They’re very confident… is it because I’m Iron?

I think they’re looking down on me too much. I’m still someone who has even received a shout-out from a pro gamer.

-Du-du-du-du!

[Fear the unseen sword.]

As soon as the pick window opened, I chose Assassin.

Putting everything else aside, it’s the strongest in 1v1. There was no such thing as going easy on a viewer. I was going to brutally crush them for good so they wouldn’t mess with me again.

[lol The streamer is angry]
[I can see the tightly shut 입(Ib/mouth)~~]
[lol It’s like Leni No. 2]

“Well… do you need any 핸디캡(Haendikaep/handicap)?”

[Ah, are you telling me to give you one? Um… what should I give you? Should I play with one hand? Or should I try with my feet?]

“…You’re really confident. I’d think you were a pro if I didn’t know any better.”

[Because the opponent is Iron. Hehe. Ah sorry.]

“………”

[That’s right, that’s right, because the 상대(Sangdae/opponent) is 아이언(Aieon/Iron) lol]
[You’re so good at 긁(Geulk/scratch)-ing like someone]

“Hoo… don’t come crying after you lose.”

-Welcome to the Field of Duel.

Thus began the life-or-death decision for the LoL Gallery’s ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’. The map was, of course, ‘Field of Duel’.

It was a 1v1 dedicated map created by the LoL developer, and additional conditions such as 1 line / starting gold bonus / 1 returnable count were set.

“I’ll turn off the YesCord microphone since it started.”

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[lol Add a line to the FakeSol Kingwiki controversy~]

Clearing the broadcast chat window where everyone was 합심(Habsim/joining Forces) to make fun of me, I focused on the game.

First, the opponent’s job is ShieldMaster.

As the name suggests, it was definitely the best 탱커(Taengkeo/Tanker/Defender). It was a job that was necessary for the team situation, but that’s why it was the No. 1 job that you didn’t want to do but would be good if someone did it.

The ShieldMaster didn’t have a bad early game 체급(Chegeup/Weight Class), but of course it couldn’t be compared to the Assassin.

In the first place, if the Assassin doesn’t get out early, it rots. It wasn’t easy for anyone to beat the early Assassin.

“Hoo… everyone, I’m going to go really seriously.”

The starting item I chose was a regular sword with a few throwing daggers.

I was going to throw them to check and then jump in and cut them at once.

And the opponent’s choice… was just one big shield. That was all.

What? They didn’t bring any attacking weapons?

Even if they were a ShieldMaster, it was common to bring a sword or 철퇴(Cheoltwe/Mace). If they were just a 허수아비(Heosubi/Scarecrow) that only gets hit without any 휘두르(Hwidureu/swing), who would be a 탱커(Taengkeo/Tanker/Defender)?

That looked like buying only a bow without arrows. I don’t know how they’re going to catch me.

-Yap!
-Yap!
-Yap!

Before I knew it, the miniatures had started fighting cutely. I watched the enemy’s 동태(Dongtae/movements) while continuing to farm appropriately.

But the opponent…

-Woong!

Was really still without any movement. Just holding the shield in front of them.

Is that the strategy? They’re not eating the miniatures, so is the 요량(Yoryang/intention) to end it before they 귀환(Gwihwan/return) to buy items?

-Shwook!

So I threw a dagger once. To test the waters a bit.

-Thwack!

The 상대(Sangdae/opponent) showed a movement to avoid my dagger, but got hit.

If you can’t avoid it, shouldn’t you just block it with the shield? I don’t know what they’re doing with that huge shield.

-Shwook!

-Thwack!

I threw it again, and the same thing happened again. The opponent couldn’t avoid it, and their shield, which didn’t block anything, was just a 거추장(Geochujang/cumbersome) baggage.

Um um. I knew it now. Your skills.

You just went to Gold with team 빨(Ppall/suck)-ing. You definitely took a 버스(Beoseu/bus/carry) with a team-oriented job like 탱커(Taengkeo/Tanker/Defender).

So a pure physical issue arose, and they can’t 피(Pi/avoid) now. Of course, my 스킬샷(Seukilshyat/Skill Shot) was 완벽(Wanbyeok/Perfect) beyond compare.

“Iyap!”

-Thwack!

Again, the opponent was hit head-on by the dagger I threw. Their 체력(Chelyeok/HP) gauge was already below half. Now, with a little more, they were at a level where they could easily see a 킬각(Kilgak/Kill Angle).

“Did you see that? Everyone. This is [Snipe]. They’re getting hit every time I throw.”

[Anyway, it’s sniping lol]
[The opponent is too bad?]

-oo donated ₩1,000.
[So boring. It’s obviously a 짜고치는(Jjagochineun/rigged) 개(Gae/dog) 주작(Jujak/fake) ㅇㅇ]

“Wow. You’re the 주작무새(Jujakmusaet/Fake Parrots) again? I wondered why you didn’t come out.”

[lol seriously]
[I’m tired of the same 레퍼토리(Repeotori/Repertoire) ]
[But it’s a bit suspicious]

“It’s not 주작(Jujak/fake), and I’ll go again! [Snipe]!”

-Thwack!

The dagger I threw again hit the opponent again and again.

[Kyaaaa]
[Why is this 저격(Jeogyeok/Snipe)? I really don’t know;]
[It’s 저격(Jeogyeok/Snipe) because you’re hitting everything ㅇㅇ]
[Is it really not 주작(Jujak/fake)?]

It was really boring. It was so boring that I thought it might be 주작(Jujak/fake).

But it’s all like that. Those guys with big voices in the back can’t do anything when they come forward.

“Everyone, can’t you see it now? My 모습(Moseup/Appearance) to reclaim the nickname SolNoon.”

It didn’t seem necessary to drag it out. In the first place, it would be difficult if the opponent returned after wasting time, so I decided to end it at once.

“Okay, let’s go!”

I immediately ran to the opponent. My sword moved to cut the enemy as it was.

-Tung!

But this time it was blocked. The opponent finally used that huge 방패(Bangpae/shield) to block my attack.

Well, this was all as expected. It was their last 저항(Jeohang/resistance).

It was 분명(Bunmyeong/Clear) should have been like that…

-Hwiwoowoong!

My character flew in the air for a moment.

-Twoang!

I fell to the ground as it was. It happened because the opponent pushed the 방패(Bangpae/shield) with all their might.

“Eh…?”

I was stunned for a moment by a skill I had never heard of. I was even more 당황(Danghwang/Flustered) because my 체력(Chelyeok/HP) had dropped in lumps.

[(All) ShieldLikesLikes (ShieldMaster): ㅋ]

But it didn’t end there.

-Euryaaaaaaa!!

The 상대(Sangdae/Opponent) started to 돌진(Doljin/Charge) at a terrifying speed.

I knew the name of that 기술(Gisul/Technique) well. It was [Shield Charge]. It was a 스킬(Seukil/skill) that runs until it hits a specific 대상(Daesang/target).

And that 대상(Daesang/target) was…

-Kwang!

Of course it was me. Because the distance between the two was so short, I couldn’t 피(Pi/avoid) the 거구(Geogu/giant).

My character, who had taken a lot of damage, fell into a 기절(Gijeol/faint/stun) state. Surprisingly, the 체력(Chelyeok/HP) was almost 빈사(Binsa/Dyining).

I couldn’t believe it. It’s true that Assassins are 물몸(Mulmom/Squishy), but did ShieldMasters have this much 딜링(Dilling/Damage)?

This is really a 버그(Beogeu/Bug)!

[(All) ShieldLikesLikes (ShieldMaster): ㅋ]

The opponent raised the 방패(Bangpae/shield) high. High enough to hit me.

And I could easily know my 미래(Mirae/future).
“Ah, I’m screwed…”

As soon as I뱉(Baet/spit) out a low 단말마(Danmalma/Death Wail), his 거대(Geodae/huge) 방패(Bangpae/shield) 그대로(Geudaero/as it is) me…

=Defeat!=
