Episode 314: A masterpiece (5)
It felt familiar.
As Kevin looked at him, Chris recalled a memory from the past.
“It was the same back then as it is now. “You always saw me as a competitor, unlike other people.”
Confrontation with Kevin.
It wasn’t the first time.
Even when I initially pledged allegiance to Roman Dmitri, despite my solemn decision, I was very dissatisfied with the situation in which I was not receiving much instruction.
So I asked in a questioning manner.
When asked what he could learn just by watching, Roman Dmitry absurdly suggested a fight with Kevin.
at that time.
Kevin was beaten to a pulp.
Even though blood was dripping, he looked at Chris and said this.
“Let’s do it till the end.”
I got cocky.
I didn’t know the topic.
Only later did I find out that Roman Dmitry had helped me with all the help, but I couldn’t forget Kevin’s gaze as if he really wanted to beat me.
In any case, the rankings were completely organized by the events of that day.
Kevin faithfully followed his orders, and not once did anything untoward happen.
But sometimes, when I met eyes looking at me, I felt the same way as before.
strong desire.
It was a complicated feeling.
Whether it’s jealousy, a sense of inferiority, or a desire to win.
Whatever the reason, Kevin viewed Chris’ existence as something he would have to overcome someday.
It was different from others.
Since Chris was in charge of training in Roman Dmitry’s absence, most people thought that Chris was untouchable.
Kevin also received training.
Even though he swung his sword according to Chris’s commands, he showed a strong desire for Chris when his rank was highlighted.
As for Chris.
I didn’t know the truth.
I get it.
The way you look at yourself, your attitude, your tone of voice, etc.
Kevin openly showed his emotions, but Chris never once accepted them.
“I knew from the beginning what you thought of me. By the way, do you know why you didn’t react? Because it was the same. Even if a child runs towards you with a blushing face, the adult is not aware of the child’s presence and does not respond. It’s a similar story. To me, the existence of Kevin is the prosecutor called Dmitri’s demon. “Just like when I first met him, he’s just a child who doesn’t pose the slightest threat.”
Okay.
I picked up my sword.
In a situation where the first no-name was clearly shown, Kevin’s expression became distorted.
“Kevin. I have a long way to go. “It means that my ambitions are not small enough to be overtaken by someone like you.”
Hwaak-
An aura arose.
I meant it.
I was planning to prove my position to someone who surpassed my rank.
“So, from now on, do your best. “I will prove with my skills that there is no difference between then and now.”
widely.
Roman Dmitry takes a step back.
That was the signal.
As if there was no need for an answer.
Crack.
Crumbling.
Kevin quickly dug into the space.
* * *
It was fast.
Seeing Kevin rushing forward like a nimble animal, Chris stretched out his sword.
‘Seomjeon (閃電).’
Flash.
Crumbling.
I had no intention of doing it in moderation.
It seemed as if Kevin’s face was blown away by the attack that instantly penetrated space.
however.
Pot-
avoided.
As if he had expected it, Kevin let go of the attack by a narrow margin, exploding his aura and crawling into his arms.
Just avoiding a flash fire was a great achievement.
When we first met, Kevin seemed unable to respond even though he knew the correct answer, but the current Kevin has become incomparably stronger than then.
but.
Chris also improved.
Chris’s sword bent strangely and bit into the back of Kevin’s neck like a snake.
Suddenly.
Seomjeon and Jonathan’s draw.

It was a technique to change direction.
Just when I thought it worked this time, Kevin’s eyes turned red and he suddenly turned around.
It was a shocking scene.
As I turned my body at the same speed as I was running, the sword that was biting my neck passed through the afterimage.
It didn’t even touch me. It was truly a perfect dodge, and as soon as the back foot touched the ground, a huge explosion occurred.
Kwaang-
Crumbling.
Mana rush.
It was a dash.
Kevin, who came right in front of us, pushed right in as if he wasn’t going to give us a chance.
Kaang-
Kakakakakang!
A violent clash broke out.
When the attack aimed at the head was blocked, he dug to the side and attacked the side, and Chris quickly retrieved his sword and blocked the attack.
At the same time, he cut off Kevin’s head.
Kevin let go of the attack by leaning back, then bounced his body like a spring, this time aiming for the area near Chris’ heart.
Kaang!
It was a one-step, one-step attack.
They pushed each other aggressively, as if they were going to bite the other.
hook.
Crumbling.
Chris’s aura split the space.
Even though it was accompanied by an eerie sound that felt as if one’s body would be torn apart just by brushing against it, Kevin had no hesitation in jumping into the space filled with aura.
We collided and collided again.
Since both use aura based on martial arts, in the end, Chris, who uses a stronger aura, had an advantage in terms of power.
but.
I endured the pain.
Kevin smiled while covered in blood.
sudden-
My eyes flashed brightly.
This time, he dodged Chris’ attack and sprayed an aura toward Chris’ face.
Kaang.
As expected.
Chris’ reaction was quick.
After blocking the attack, Kevin dug into the opponent’s blind spot and successively attacked the opponent’s gap.
I aimed for the head, then the lower body, then the lower body, then the back, then the back, then the solar plexus.
It digs into the opponent’s surroundings like an animal, showing its sharp teeth to capture the moment when there is even the slightest gap.
It was fast and threatening.
Chris’s counterattack was aimed at Kevin’s life, but Kevin somehow knew how to react to Chris’ attack.
It was then.
Flash.
Crumbling.
Another flash.
Kevin quickly took a step back.
This time, I wasn’t confident that I could withstand Chris’ attack right in front of me.
“I admit it. “You are definitely different from before.”
Going through the aura.
Chris stepped forward.
He had a fierce face and seemed genuinely angry.
“But that’s it.”
yet.
Chris didn’t show his full potential.
* * *
My skin stung.
At this moment when he faced Chris, Kevin’s instincts constantly warned him how dangerous an enemy he was.
however.
I couldn’t back down.
For this day, Kevin worked tirelessly.
‘I know Chris better than Chris himself.’
Meantime.
I constantly observed to take down Chris.
We conducted a virtual sparring while finding out what kind of swordsmanship Chris uses, whether he has any habits when using swords, and his unique habits.
Thanks to this, I was able to avoid the first attack.
Although it is an attack that is impossible to see and react to, I twisted my body by understanding the muscle movement and the unique posture of the fire fighter.
It was a narrow difference.
If I hadn’t trained in advance, my head might have been blown off by the first attack.
It was a similar situation after that.
Based on the information obtained in advance, we pushed Chris hard.
Wow.
I grabbed my sword.
I saw Chris walking.
In response to the still relaxed response, Kevin’s red eyes gradually drove him into madness.
“Don’t be cocky, you bastard.”
Taaat.
Crumbling.
kicked the ground
In an instant, he dug into the space and cut off Chris’ head.
Kaang-
The attack was blocked.
Chris immediately tried to counterattack, and his muscle movements clearly conveyed his intentions.
‘Right arm.’
It was a shocking sensation.
Words are muscle movements, and by combining very subtle signals, Kevin was able to figure out what the other person was trying to do.
In addition, there is a keen sense unique to the Demon Demon Demon King.
Kevin was about to try the next attack while letting go of his opponent’s attack, but his eyes widened when he felt a burning pain in his right arm.
Pot-
Blood splattered.
Even though I clearly knew it, I only skimmed over Chris’s black right arm.
‘shoulder.’
This time it was my shoulder.
Chris raised his sword high and attempted a linked attack by slashing his sword.
however.
It was the same this time too.
He clearly sensed the intention and reacted, but before he knew it, his expression became distorted as the sword cut into his shoulder.
Suddenly.
Pain arose.
It was fast.
His reaction as if he had not yet given his all was not a bluff, and Chris showed such overwhelming speed that Kevin could not react.
I was thrilled. Dmitry’s second-in-command.
Chris was someone who rose to that position through his skills, and he proved right before our eyes why he was called Dmitry’s flash.
It was strong.
So it was worth it.
Only by defeating Chris could he prove himself as the owner of First No-Name.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
My eyes turned red.
With a face shining with madness, he rushed at me like crazy.
Kaang!
Kakakakakakakang!
clashed violently.
Neither of them backed down an inch, and even though Chris counterattacked quickly, Kevin tenaciously rushed forward with movements that were beyond human limits.
At first the attack did not hit.
Chris reacted first and let it go, but as time went by, it looked as if Kevin’s attack would reach him.
sudden-
Crumbling.
It passed right in front of my eyes.
Kevin cornered Chris and turned his face to the side to let go of the incoming attack.
It was bold.
In a situation where his face could have been pierced, Kevin chose to lunge forward rather than retreat.
Dmitry’s demon.
It was a monster.
The eyes shining with madness finally drove the opponent into a corner.
‘The first half of the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique is a one-second approach.’
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
The power exploded.
From now on it was real.
The moment he took a step forward, Chris’ expression turned cold.
“It’s over.”
Chris’s area.
I entered the street.
Before Kevin’s attack could even be properly attempted.
The world flashed.
‘One island.’
Pot.
Crumbling.
I couldn’t see it properly.
Kevin’s vision collapsed due to the burning pain in his chest.
* * *
I looked down at Kevin.
Although we achieved the victory we wanted, Chris’ expression was not so good.
‘I can’t believe a boy from the slums became this strong.’
The confrontation just now.
I was truly impressed.
Kevin anticipated his response and rushed forward without any time to catch his breath. If he were his old self, he would not have been able to guarantee victory.
So I couldn’t laugh. Kevin and I have different starting points.
It was impossible for him, who had been an Aura swordsman from the beginning, to be overtaken by Kevin, who was just a boy from the slums.
I was annoyed.
The moment we first faced each other.
The being that was defeated unilaterally even with Roman Dmitri’s help has grown to the point where it threatens itself.
Actually, I wasn’t unaware of Kevin’s growth.
As people called Dmitry’s demon, I knew that Kevin was different from before as I watched him.
But I couldn’t accept it.
He couldn’t admit that the gap between him and Kevin was narrowing, as if Kevin was showing inferiority to him.
chuck.
I aimed my sword.
The intention was to decide the winner.
however.
Kevin, who was bleeding from his chest, shed tears as the sword was pointed at his neck.
“… … “Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
I gritted my teeth.
Although he was forcing himself to cry, Kevin, whose eyes were filled with tears, showed foolish stubbornness in not being able to accept the outcome of the confrontation.
I thought I would win. No, he thought, he wanted to win.
But I was defeated.
In the end, on the wall that could not be overcome, Dmitry’s demon appeared like a child.
Then I realized.
Kevin is still young.
He swallowed his tears as if he didn’t want to show his embarrassment and looked up at Chris and said.
“… … “I lost.”
finished.
It was Chris’ victory.
In a situation where he should clearly be happy, Chris felt devastated.
An attitude that does not take defeat for granted, even against oneself.
I knew it instinctively.
The moment you become complacent with reality, the day may come when you bow down to that pure desire.
No more.
Kevin didn’t seem like a boy from the slums.
