Chapter 439 Overall Ranking (6)
Confrontation with Chris.
It was already the third.
Kevin remembered the past vividly.
At the time of the first confrontation, Kevin was still only a beginner with a low understanding of swordsmanship.
‘At the time, I thought it was an impossible match. Chris was a genius prosecutor who was recognized by Dmitri, and I was nothing more than a being wandering around the slums. And after the devastating defeat, the first thought that occupied my head was that I was so pitiful and shabby.’
Defeat.
It was a natural result.
Even though he knew it was impossible, Kevin couldn’t accept the outcome of defeat.
Behind him was Roman Dmitri.
Even though Chris told him how to move and what his intention was to attack him, Kevin couldn’t take advantage and lost.
I was so ashamed of that fact.
Even if I knew the correct answer, I couldn’t go to bed because I was really ashamed of myself for dreaming of living with Roman Dmitri’s sword at a mediocre level, thinking that my skills were shabby and couldn’t bridge the gap.
from that day
I was immersed in training like a dog.
He vowed again and again that he would no longer feel this humiliation and that he would not be disturbed in the future.
An inferiority complex was the source of development.
Because I looked up to Chris, I developed quickly, and at some point, I had a strong desire to surpass him.
So naturally, the second confrontation took place.
When Roman Dmitri gave Chris a sword that was better than himself, the infested inferiority complex could not accept the reality.
And lost again.
I was angry this time.
People called themselves Dmitri’s demons.
I had developed enough and thought I was strong now, but the fact that I couldn’t defeat Chris gave me great despair.
Now it has become a reality that we have to accept.
The fact that Chris is higher than himself, and the obvious fact that Roman Dmitri’s true sword is Chris, not himself.
thought over and over again.
I couldn’t admit it either.
No matter how long it took, he wanted to defeat Chris and prove his worth.
It must have been from then. I dug into a little more fundamental theory.
Where does the difference between you and Chris come from and how there is simply no way to bridge the gap due to the gap of years?
that was madness
Admitted.
Roman Dmitry has become his own life.
Roman Dmitry, who filled a lot of beings who had many deficiencies, had no choice but to become everything in life.
Time passed like that and it became today.
widely.
got on stage
Above the wide arena, he could see Chris waiting for him.
‘I will definitely win this time.’
third confrontation.
You will never lose three times.
* * *
Tension lingered.
The confrontation between Chris and Kevin drew everyone’s attention to the point that even the audience was careful of their breathing.
whoever wins
A new history will be written.
Chris said with tension rising.
“Kevin. As I prepared for this competition, I knew that I would end up here with you.”
It was dumb.
People listened to his calm voice.
“My relationship with you started a long time ago. At the time Dmitri was just rising to prominence, not many people paid attention to you, but the way you looked at me and the way you looked at me made me think that one day you might be aiming for my place.”
It was a truth I wanted to deny.
Chris had been denying his rivalry with Kevin, but he knew his true feelings when he confirmed that he had defeated Ares.
The rivalry had nothing to do with Kevin’s development.
Kevin’s existence was not simple for Chris since he expressed his strong desire to win in his first confrontation.
Someday.
A being that tries to surpass itself.
He didn’t know that time would come so soon, but Kevin worked hard and stood in front of him.
‘I can’t find the past.’
Kevin at that time.
Kevin was just a ghetto boy.
Kevin couldn’t even swing his sword properly.
A crazy guy who was learning basic swordsmanship to the point of being embarrassing but still expressing his venom against himself.
Admitted.
is a competitor
And competition was the foundation of development.
He will step on his competitors terribly and advance to a stage that no one can touch.
“I have no intention of giving my place to anyone, including you. Kevin. This is a place prepared for you and all those who overreach my position. Prove yourself by defeating me or… … .”
sereung.
I drew my sword.
People swallowed dry saliva.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the situation that was completely overwhelmed.
“I will shine the value of my existence with three defeats.”
No questions and answers.
No more words were needed.
flutter.
The referee’s signal was dropped.
At the same time, the two beings facing each other rushed towards each other.
* * *
The showdown between Chris and Kevin.
There was a picture that people expected.
I expected such a confrontation worthy of the reputation, but the situation that unfolded on the pitch was a clash beyond imagination.
pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The lead was Chris.
With a quick attack that tore through space in an instant, Kevin burrowed into the turbulent space with his aura without any evasive movements.
A scratch appeared on the body.
Blood was splattered everywhere, but the attack aimed at the vital point was perfectly blocked and the speed of the attack did not stop.
area of control.
It was power from the start.
When Kevin entered the range and swung his sword like lightning, they exchanged several attacks and attacks in the blink of an eye.
Caang!
Kaka Kaka Kakang!
if the attack is blocked.
It has always attacked vital points.
When Kevin tried to counterattack by letting the attack flow, Chris took Kevin’s presence and pressed the attack with speed and destructive power.
The world was complicatedly entangled in the attack from above the head, left, right and lower body, and Chris did not see a gap even when he tried to counterattack.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was an overwhelming presence.
Until he reached this position, Kevin showed one-sided performance, but Chris’ swordsmanship was able to take down even such Kevin.
It was the difference in aura.
Aura’s destructive power made the difference between Kevin and Chris in a situation where he couldn’t overpower Chris in terms of skill.
Above all, Chris, who was not afraid of close-quarters fast combat, blocked Kevin’s anomaly at once.
Quaang!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Aura exploded.
He pushed Kevin, who had entered close range.
Whenever a strong collision occurred, Kevin’s body was shaken and pushed backwards.
‘strong.’
chris.
Dmitry’s flashes.
The presence in memory developed again.
More than Chris from the first confrontation, Chris from the second confrontation, the presence of Chris, who developed beyond his own growth, weighed heavily on Kevin.
I had no choice but to admit it.
If Chris was the kind of person who would walk in place, he would have been on his knees before the third confrontation like this.
Flash.
Papapapapang!
The space is torn apart.
Attacks that could not be properly identified with the naked eye came from all sides, and Kevin did not react by seeing, but only reacted to something that was captured by his keen senses.
It was the same just now. Chris’ attack went right in front of me.
Obviously, he thought he attacked first, but what happened after that was Chris, who casually counterattacked and tried to counterattack.
pod.
I turned my head.
Blood splattered from his face.
Even though he was protected by his aura, Kevin captured the opponent’s figure with unwavering eyes in the shallow tearing wound.
You have to be bolder.
You need to be more reckless.
So that.
can bridge the gap.
Chris was obviously stronger than he was, but he didn’t think he was weak even on the stage where he risked his life and death.
‘The first half of the Heavenly Demon’s Sword.’
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It was driven hard.
As if he would not back down even a little as soon as they attacked, he pushed Chris’s presence.
His eyes flashed with madness. How long have you been looking forward to this moment?
At the time of his first defeat, he did not dare to compare himself to Chris, but now he had enough odds, like people holding his breath.
will win
will definitely win
Quaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The counterattack was fierce.
Chris’s aura exploded, but at a distance close enough that each other’s existence was intertwined, Chris and Kevin did not retreat an inch.
It was a matter of pride. results and content. I hoped to win both.
It wasn’t that I won in the end, but I wanted to overwhelm the opponent from the content.
It was tight.
the more blood is shed.
The more violently they collide.
My mind became clear.
As Kevin confronted his opponent with a face stained with madness, he remembered why he had targeted Chris.
Dozens of attacks.
dozens of defenses.
never allowed it.
I knew that when I destroyed this being that confronted everyone, it would become the strongest sword that Roman Dmitri would be proud of.
That’s why I targeted Chris.
Inferiority was a feeling that came from being superior, and in Kevin’s world, Chris was a shining presence more than anyone else.
Flash.
The forearm was cut.
In a situation that was increasingly stained with blood, Kevin was convinced.
this confrontation.
He will definitely win.
* * *
After the second defeat.
Kevin is in trouble.
I knew that I couldn’t surpass Chris by simply swinging my sword more and working hard.
‘A change is necessary.’
Chris was a trying genius.
He wasn’t the type to settle for his talent, but he worked as hard as he did, so no matter how much he improved, the gap with Chris couldn’t be bridged.
The results of the second confrontation spoke of reality.
Kevin’s concern over the fact that he could not win just by living the same way as before, bit his tail on his tail as time went on.
strength.
speed.
fence.
lagging behind in all respects.
There were no strengths that surpassed Chris in any general category, but there was only one thing that surpassed him.
anomaly.
getting out of the frame.
Kevin focused on that fact.
I knew that the Heavenly Demon Sword could not surpass Chris in a really great and powerful weapon or destructive confrontation.
He is not Roman Dmitry.
If it showed as much destructive power as Roman Dmitri in one blow, he would choose the straight attack method, but he could not fight like Roman Dmitri even though he had the same weapon.
I changed my mind.
You need your own weapon.
It was a huge change.
Kevin, who was a boy in the slums, trained according to the method Roman Dmitri taught, and even when he learned the Heavenly Demon Sword, he existed within the frame.
Contrary to its anomalous tendencies, it was a being born through the teachings of others.
Kevin threw off the mold that had imprisoned him.
The moment he thought about it and made the decision that it was necessary, he pioneered a new field by combining what he had learned so far.
like that.
He created his own weapon.
What was incomplete when dealing with Ares turned into a perfect result while preparing for this tournament.
As a result.
Edwin Hector, a strong favorite, took a knee against him.
* * *
Pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It was a chance.
The moment Chris launched a series of attacks, Kevin’s eyes turned sharp as he let them go.
single hit.
I had to fight this attack.
If you can’t deal a significant blow to Chris, the outcome of the fierce battle will end in your own defeat.
‘Reverse flow of mana.’
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating
The inside was seething.
Rather than exploding Danjeon’s mana, he recovered all the mana with Danjeon and suppressed the mana.
It was an unusual method. Backflow is against the flow of nature, and Kevin’s body screamed at the sudden change taking place inside.
It was a tremendous pain. For normal people, the pain and shock were enough to tear the inside out, but the regenerative power of the Ghost Demonic Gong endured the reflux.
Then.
‘According to the rule of the Heavenly Demon Sword, it explodes at once.’
In reality, it was only a fleeting moment.
1 sec.
no less than that.
In the act of letting go of Chris’ attack and trying something, a change occurred inside Kevin.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Danjeon’s mana was entangled.
The mana that tried to advance and the mana that flowed back were entangled together, causing a powerful explosion at the moment Kevin wanted.
‘Three seconds in the first half of the Heavenly Demon Sword.’
with this attack.
You defeated Edwin Hector.
I did my best this time.
As the backflowing mana began to erupt, mana exploded all over the body and Kevin instantly dug into the space.
Quaang.
Papa papa papa pat.
Powerful Explosion!
The midfield Murim’s method and Alexander’s method were harmonized.
While dealing with mana using Danjeon, Alexandre’s eruption added explosive power to his entire body.
It instantly made the distance with Chris useless.
The distance with the opponent was reduced in an instant, and a blazing aura erupted as if to destroy the world.
single hit.
It was a speed no one could react to.
When he completed it, he was convinced that no being in the world could stop him except Roman Dmitri.
Flash.
split the space
finished.
In a realm of time that people can’t even recognize, Kevin’s powerful blow cut through Chris’ body.
That moment.
“… !”
I opened my eyes.
He looked at me in disbelief.
Even the keen senses of the Ghost Demon Gong, which had been raised to the extreme, could not figure out what had happened to them.
Pooh.
Blood spewed out like a fountain.
fleeting moment.
Chris’ attack penetrated the space.
It was a truly extremely powerful quicksword that no one except Roman Dmitri could grasp.
