Chapter 435 Overall Ranking (2)
Kevin’s appearance was different from rumors.
I expected him to look like a demon greedy for the other person’s blood, but the man in front of me was just a young man you would often see on the street.
To be precise, he looks like he has finally taken off his boyish t-shirt.
There was simply no external intimidation, but Mendes looked at Kevin and felt his mouth go dry.
‘Meeting Dmitri’s demon from the first round.’
this competition.
Probably all participants had similar thoughts.
I wished I hadn’t met Chris and Kevin before I had meaningful results, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t prepared for the worst.
A being that everyone is wary of.
If you defeat Dmitri’s flash and the demon, that means you’ll get that much honor, so you’ve been preparing for the worst while hoping for things to go smoothly in your heart.
‘Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to handle information about Dmitri’s demons.’
From the great warrior battle with Barco.
Until the recent continental war.
I looked through all the data.
‘Kevin has a fairly aggressive style. It’s fast and wild, and it pushes opponents into a corner in an instant with an attack pattern that enjoys close intervals. In addition, the fact that he could actually lose his life because he uses the real sword in this ranking match highlights Kevin’s strength. I need to be strong to face a monster like this.’
closely.
I grabbed my sword.
The pride of the Kronos Empire took hold of himself.
It was clear that if he was knocked out in the first round, no matter who his opponent was, the word that Kronos had fallen would follow.
‘You have to keep your composure. Even if the opponent drives me like a storm, I must never deviate from the gap I thought. When the opponent invades my territory, I will attack like lightning, but the moment I force myself to follow the narrow gap, the melee that loses the system will decide the winner. show it to people What kind of existence is Mendes, who represents Kronos?’
gritted it
I could feel people’s eyes.
I wanted to clearly imprint the name Mendes on those who looked at me pitifully.
It was then.
flutter.
The referee announces the start.
At the same time, Mendes raised his aura and prepared for Kevin’s attack that was about to come.
‘Kevin’s pattern was the same every time. From the start, I will not allow myself any time to catch my breath, and I will push on. First of all, after letting go of the attack, I choose the next countermeasure while watching the opponent’s reaction.’
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Aura that explodes.
Adrenaline rushed like crazy.
I finished preparing to greet my opponent, but the sight that unfolded in front of me was different from what I expected.
buzz buzz.
“what?”
“Why aren’t you attacking?”
confused people.
It had to be.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Kevin didn’t move a bit from where he started.
* * *
I didn’t understand.
Kevin’s pattern.
was not in the material.
It was Kevin’s style that always led the fight, but Mendes’ head became complicated when he watched it still.
‘What are you thinking?’
The reason was unknown.
What is certain is that Kevin is pursuing something different from the past, and if that’s the case, Mendes also needed a response appropriate to the situation.
I swallowed dry saliva. It wasn’t a bad situation for myself.
Whatever the reason, if Kevin reacted defensively, it was enough to take the lead and finish quickly.
made a judgment
After warming up, Mendes narrowed the distance to the opponent little by little, and then spurred the ground in an instant and rushed forward.
pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was fast.
The explosive power of the 6-star aura quickly closed the distance, and Mendes did not take his eyes off Kevin.
No matter how the other person reacts. It was a ulterior motive to block it and destroy the opponent’s intentions at once.
ten steps.
nine steps.
eight steps.
The distance has narrowed.
The moment Mendes approached a distance that still seemed a little far away, Mendes couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Flash.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It was an instinctive defense.
In an instant, the attack penetrated the space, and he unknowingly raised his sword to block it. Both arms bounced back, completely turning inside out.
I couldn’t even check how the opponent moved.
The moment he felt that the flow of mana was strange, Kevin’s attack was tearing up his space.
That was the beginning.
Kevin attacked Mendes as if he were shooting arrows, keeping his distance away from him.
Caang!
Kakakakakang.
‘This crazy.’
Clashes broke out on all sides.
Although he managed to block the attack, Mendes couldn’t come to his senses at the unexpectedly unfamiliar style.
I didn’t understand.
Kevin and himself.
In terms of physical specifications, he had the upper hand.
If so, he had to preoccupy the one-sided attack distance, but Kevin was pouring attacks at a distance that even he could not.
There was only one way. It is to perfectly grasp the distance of one’s own attack and try to attack while rushing before taking the distance.
It was a pattern that made the attack distance useless in an instant, and the theory could not be established without a perfect distance calculation.
‘Closing the distance.’
It was absurd.
To have to make this judgment against Kevin.
Close combat is Kevin’s domain, but he was completely pushed out of the distance calculation, so he couldn’t just stay like this.
That’s right.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
ran up
However, the situation was different from what was expected.
He obviously rushed in, but the distance between him and Kevin increased as much.
Then.
Flash.
Quaang!
The attack exploded.
Kevin kept his distance from Mendes as if joking around, and the moment he showed the slightest gap, he dug into the space and attacked.
The ghost was supposed to sing. This was never Kevin’s style.
There is no record of Kevin fighting in this way, but seeing him keep his distance like a mudfish completely upset my stomach.
I’d rather have hit it right. He would have admitted defeat in the battle of strength and power, but in the current pattern, Mendes did not show his skills properly.
I lost my composure.
It was such a small difference, but the moment Mendes took a half step forward, the price was devastating.
pod.
Blood spattered.
His thighs were cut and his legs staggered, and Mendes, who opened his eyes wide, hurriedly raised his sword.
Caang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
intense shock.
I was out of breath.
He gritted his teeth and hurriedly tried to block the next attack, but Kevin, who looked like a mudfish, appeared in front of him before he knew it.
Took.
A sword aimed at the neck.
Kevin looked down at him with cold eyes.
On one knee, Mendes knew how to act in this situation.
“… I will surrender.”
that’s really
It was the worst ending he didn’t want to think about.
* * *
It was a shock defeat.
Still, for those who support Underdog, Mendes was the most promising stock with the highest odds.
However, I was completely fooled.
The failure to do anything throughout the match and admitting defeat made Mendes look like a weak-willed man.
But those with skills knew the truth.
The fact that a 6-star swordsman seemed crude to the general public because Kevin defeated Mendes with his overwhelming skills.
carried out
He hurriedly treated the blood flowing from his thigh, and Cronus’ high-ranking aristocrat asked with a puzzled face.
“How did this happen?”
Mendes defeat.
It was hopeless.
He had no discernment to ascertain the truth.
Looking at his eyes stained with bewilderment, Mendes said with a blank face.
“Can’t you see? Completely defeated. In the confrontation just now, Kevin didn’t even think of me as a matchup.”
I was crying.
I was angry.
6 star realm.
Mendes was proud of himself as he entered new territory, but today he faced a shocking reality.
Kevin proved that the realm of aura is not everything.
Mendes couldn’t do anything about the appearance of making fun of the streets before showing off the destructive power of the aura properly.
the problem is.
That was Kevin’s intention.
When I thought about why Kevin had chosen this method, I was able to come to a single conclusion.
“Dmitri’s goblin doesn’t see anyone competing with him right now, except for Chris. The same goes for the previous confrontation. I didn’t prepare such a strategy to defeat me, I was just experimenting with Chris. This is the truth. People called me the hope of Kronos, but I fell short of Kevin’s toes, let alone His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry.”
It was a voice full of despair.
While preparing for this competition, Kevin was thoroughly analyzed, but Mendes was used as an opponent for training and was defeated.
Dmitry’s flashes.
It was clear what Kevin meant by dealing with Mendes, as rumor has it that if he couldn’t take over the streets against him, his neck would be blown away in an instant.
It was a kind of training.
In order to judge the proper distance from Chris to quickly close the distance, Kevin projected Chris onto Mendes.
Mendes.
He was also the kind of person called a genius, but now he couldn’t control his despair.
“People’s expectations were wrong. In this tournament, it is not important how many countries other than Dmitry occupy the top ranks. If even one of the top 16 spots ever surpasses Dmitri, we’ll applaud him for that achievement.”
The high-ranking aristocrat’s eyes changed.
Only then did I know
Dmitry’s empire.
The fact that those who unified the continent have now become such an existence that cannot be surpassed by the status of the past.
* * *
That time.
Other stages produced results that matched everyone’s expectations.
“Haap!”
pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The momentum was good.
In Frank, he was called Frank’s first sword in his own way, and he tried to suppress the baseline by exploding his 5-star aura.
But no one expected his victory.
The opponent was Chris, who is called Dmitri’s flash, so people were interested in how long he could endure.
And as expected.
Flash.
puck.
only 3 seconds.
Prosecutor Frank staggered.
I thought something flashed, but the swordsman who was hit on the back fell to the floor.
“Game 21 Chris wins.”
“Whoaaaa!”
“It’s also Chris!”
People were upset.
Leaving behind the cheering crowd, Chris came off the stage with a calm face.
‘There is no need to be intoxicated with a victory of this magnitude.’
continental war.
Dmitri’s prosecutors have entered a completely different realm.
The aura is an important factor that determines destructive power, but since the aura revolution took place, the basic skills of individual swordsmen have been emphasized.
Such was the confrontation between Kevin and Mendes.
There is not much difference between the two in terms of the destructive power of their auras, but Kevin saw and heard many things that ordinary people would not experience by Roman Dmitri’s side.
That’s why I knew that the confrontation with Kevin would not end as easily as this time.
but.
I wasn’t prepared for a confrontation with him.
He wanted to prove to everyone that he could win by just training himself and not preparing for Kevin’s presence.
For that reason, the game was decided quickly.
There was no reason to drag it out too long.
It was then.
I was about to get off the stage and move on, but I heard a huge cheer from another stage in the distance.
‘Has there ever been a match that would be cheered like this since the first round?’
My curiosity was piqued.
I asked the staff in charge of the game to see the crowd and unusual cheers.
“What game is going on over there right now?”
“There is bound to be interest in people over there. Do you know Rayman of the Valhalla Empire? He was once listed in the continental rankings, but he is said to have died. It turns out that he had been living in seclusion and devoted himself to swordsmanship. He is a person who is highly anticipated along with Mendes of Cronus, as he has considerable skills at the level of 6 stars. And his opponent… … .”
actually.
Rayman’s name value alone cannot garner this much attention.
No matter how great a person is, the main character of this competition was not a person like Rayman.
Even so, the reason why people flocked to his match as soon as the first round lineup came out was because his opponent was special.
Rayman’s opponent.
he’s right
“This is Prince Edwin Hector. He met the strong from the first round.”
battle of the wizards.
People’s interest was what kind of results Edwin Hector, who is currently regarded as the best wizard on the continent, will show.
