[The overtime match has begun. The remaining barrier is at 51 to 11, with No Name player greatly ahead. Now, there is just one step left to confirm victory!]
[No Name is giving Saudi Arabia a truly dreadful night at the Invalid Stadium. It really must be the Invalid Shock, the nightmare of Invalid.]
[It seems like a breathless standoff is unfolding. Ah, it’s not easy for Sufian Hakim to move! Right now, none of the barriers are intact!]
No Name leaned forward, causing Hakim to flinch and step back.
“Hmm.”
“This bastard…”
Just a slight touch could end the game.
Sufian Hakim wasn’t merely representing Saudi Arabia.
With one billion Islamic believers watching worldwide, losing was not even an option for him.
[Creation: Barrier Setting]
[4 Circle Cast: Kazm Baraka]
Once again, the 4 Circle barrier magic circle activated.
Kugugugugung-!
A translucent dome burst forth from the ground, enveloping No Name and Hakim.
Geometric patterns were engraved on the outer wall, and thousands of Arabic characters began to glow.
“The One is eternal, and there are neither saints nor fathers. No one is equal to Him. Feel it Yourself. Unbelievers shall not escape this barrier.”
The wind instantly grew cold, filling the air inside the barrier with a heavy vibration.
No Name’s golden eyes calmly surveyed the situation inside the barrier.
The flow of mana was all tangled up.
If one tried to draw a magic circle in the air, the particles would turn to sand and slip through their fingers.
No Name’s barrier was also slowly melting away, albeit just a little.
Could a 4 Circle magic truly interfere with such a large area?
This was a question that could easily be derived with simple mathematics, rather than physics or magicology.
‘It can’t be impossible if I find the device that twists the mana line.’
Setting a boundary layer with a thin mana layer, there should be something like a propeller somewhere inside the barrier that manipulates the mana.
“You describe Allah’s essence as uniqueness, eternity, and incomparability, don’t you? Believing freely is fine. But what can I say? Your magic seems far from Allah.”
“…?”
No Name’s voice resonated within the barrier, clearly reaching Hakim’s ears.
“Are you an unbeliever? Selling Allah’s name with such crude magic?”
“That, that’s not something I should say!”
Hakim, momentarily flustered.
The golden aura forming around No Name gradually intensified, violently pushing against Kazm Baraka.
The aura spreading throughout the barrier sensed layers of varying thickness.
Hakim continued to pour magical power into the magic circle to strengthen it.
As No Name’s aura clashed violently with the light emanating from the barrier, Kazm Baraka began to gradually lose its intensity.
In a situation where the balance of power was delicately matched, No Name began to formulate a release incantation.
Finding the location of the mana manipulation mechanism, he fixed the strings spinning chaotically.
Finally, No Name spoke in a mocking tone.
“Ha, are you kidding? It’s worse than 1q2w3e4r?”
“That’s nonsense! How do you, of all people, know Arabic…!”
“Allah Akbar, you unbeliever!”
Zap-!
[Release: Kazm Baraka]
The blue lightning extending from the Cheokhwa Sword pierced through the ceiling of the barrier.
Clash—
The sky cracked like glass.
The magic energy was explosively released, and the barrier vanished in the explosion.
When the two players emerged from the barrier, No Name stood calmly while Hakim struggled to stand, glaring at each other.
The audience held their breath in tense silence.
[Creation: Barrier Setting]
The geometric circuit spell spread from No Name’s hand.
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo—
A golden hand took shape on Hakim’s left, gradually growing larger.
Just as he attempted to set up a sand shield to block it.
No Name produced his left hand from the back, operating the same magic circle.
Not a base, but a clasp.
Double casting.
This meant that there was another identical barrier on the opposite side.
“Namua Amitabul. Convert, kid.”
[Cast: Deus Apacto – Buddha’s Palm]
A gigantic hand radiating dazzling light crushed Hakim’s body from both sides.
Kwaaaang-!
The collision of barriers overturned the training hall.
Despite being the same magic, because opposing magnetic properties were endowed, immense energy was released just before the clash.
Unlucky, Sufian Hakim fell backward, his eyes turning white without even a scream.
A trickle of blood dripped from his ear, staining the grass red.
Warm light spread throughout the training hall, seeping into the stands.
In the blinding light that overturned the stadium, the gaze of Saetbyeol, who bit her lip tightly, followed No Name.
‘Did I really win? Why is she taking so long…!’
Once again, No Name prepared for the ceremony without fail today.
She flapped the wings made of aura earnestly.
Pushing her output to the maximum, her feet lifted about 10cm off the ground.
No Name spun in the air once and landed on the floor,
lifting the Cheokhwa Sword high into the sky.
[Time: 34:18]
[No Name (South Korea)] [56% | 47%]
[Sufian Omar Hakim (Saudi Arabia)] [⚠11%(irrecoverable) | ☠3%(total destruction)]
Beeeeeeeeeeep-!
[The match has ended!]
[South Korea! South Korea advances to the quarterfinals! Presenting Saudi Arabia with the nightmare of Invalid and achieving the feat of advancing to the quarterfinals after 8 years!]
[Oh, I’m really proud of No Name. Many fans were worried when she said she was preparing for the national exchange competition alone. But now, I can proudly say it! No Name is a very strong contender for the championship!]
““Waaaaah!””
The stadium echoed with fireworks.
On one side, feelings of despair emerged, while on the other, feelings of jubilation manifested in the form of cheers.
Sufian Hakim lay on the training hall, sprawled out.
Saudi medical staff rushed in with first aid kits and stretchers, panting.
When asked about his condition, Hakim could only cover his eyes with his arm, unable to speak.
‘He must be embarrassed too.’
No Name clicked her tongue as she watched Hakim, who seemed half out of his mind.
Bang—
“Oops!”
“Are you okay? Player Hakim?”
“Can’t you hold it properly?”
“The handle is broken! I think we need to get a new stretcher.”
“…”
It was a series of misfortunes.
Just as the handle of the stretcher came off again, Hakim fell to the ground.
“Ugh! What’s with today!”
He screamed and angrily crossed the arena, stomping out.

Movies may fade but VTube shortcuts are here to stay, even more popular than soccer or baseball.
Unlike other sports, it’s not held daily, so there may be less motivation to watch the live broadcast.
However, in recent years, the theory of barriers has surged, receiving criticism for being monotonous.
Viewers wanted to see tense and heart-pounding battles, not an integral contest.
As a result, highlights were reduced from 30 minutes to 10 minutes, and highlights of those 10 minutes were again cut down to 3 minutes.
But No Name’s matches were always exceptions.
[Full MATCH: Korea Republic vs Saudi Arabia | Round of 16][6129 million views · 1 day ago]
When the 24-hour highlight reached ten million views, the full match video had already surpassed sixty million views.
Every moment is considered a highlight.
To those mocking that she would win the same way again today, Naame always showcased a new warfare style.
[No Name’s Back Barrier Damage in the Second Half hahaha]
(No Name vs Hakim Second Half Match Stats.jpg)
Only 4% damage taken while cutting down 100%. Crazy hahaha
[Comments]
– It feels like a cartoon character that only exists in imagination just broke through the screen.
└ Not even just any protagonist. Naame is a god who came to Earth out of boredom.
– We were all cursing, worried that she would get reversed when she had only 1% left, what was that about hahaha.
└ Naame had her plans all along?
└ Honestly, when the magic was undone, I thought something serious was happening. Phew…
– I’m really embarrassed about that 4% hahaha.
– This is the power of living Buddhism.
[Hot No Name Voice Release haha]
(“You went into overtime.”)
(“Allah Akbar, you unbeliever!”)
(“Namua Amitabul. Convert, kid.”)
Wow, truly the pure evil of a child goes beyond imagination haha.
[Comments]
– You went into overtime (kidnapped).
– Calling someone an unbeliever in front of a founding faith is funny hahaha.
– How does Naame know Arabic?
└ Don’t you know she’s fluent in ten languages?
└ No, she knows sixteen languages.
└ No, it’s fifty languages.
└ No, it’s two hundred forty-eight languages.
– Telling a pure-blooded Muslim royal to convert is a legendary joke hahaha.
[Now Muslims are in an unprecedented dilemma hahaha]
From their perspective, it feels like they were humiliated throughout the match while Naame kept making escapes.
Q. Why prolong the match when you could have ended it?
A. Didn’t Naame say her mana ran out?
Q. Don’t talk nonsense.
A. If she went easy on you and you couldn’t capitalize, isn’t that your fault? Even the unfriendly play started by Hakim (grabbing the collar at halftime, delayed entrance in the second half).
Q. Why insult Islam when you don’t even know it well?
A. Isn’t the only choice to forcefully destroy Kazm Baraka without faith? Naame released it properly, hmm?
Q. … Still, eating pork belly before the match seems to imply some ulterior motives.
A. Naame treated the Saudi people with a thousand portions of halal food who came to disturb her peace.
God Naame continues her winning streak hahaha.
[Comments]
– Grasping at straws over eating pork belly before the match is truly pathetic.
– I hear they have infighting within themselves.
└ Well, people who believe in the Messiah do exist.
└ Fact: Surprisingly, the image of Naame is good even among Muslims.
– Honestly, I can’t believe that claiming her mana ran out is true hahaha.
└ For real hahaha.
└ For real hahaha.
└ So were the Demon Lord’s horns and Black Aura all delayed casting? hahaha.
