Episode 439 Integrated Ranking (6)
Confrontation with Chris.
It was already the third time.
Kevin vividly remembered the previous events.
At the time of his first fight, Kevin was still only a beginner with a low understanding of swordsmanship.
‘At that time, I thought it was an impossible match. Chris was a genius swordsman recognized by Dmitry, and I was just a nobody moving around the slums. And after that crushing defeat, the first thought that came to my mind was that I was so pathetic and shabby.’
Defeat.
It was a natural result.
Even though he knew it was impossible, Kevin could not accept the outcome of defeat.
Behind him was Roman Dmitry.
Even though Chris told him everything about how he would move and what his intention was to attack him, Kevin was unable to take advantage and lost.
I was so ashamed of that fact.
I couldn’t go to sleep because I was so ashamed of myself for having dreamed of living with Roman Dmitry’s sword at a barely mediocre level, thinking that my skills were so shabby that I couldn’t bridge the gap even if I knew the answer.
From that day.
I devoted myself to training relentlessly.
I promised myself again and again that I would not be disturbed in my future and that I would not feel this humiliation anymore.
Feelings of inferiority were the source of development.
Because I looked up to Chris, I progressed quickly, and at some point, I developed a strong desire to surpass him.
So naturally, the second match took place.
When Roman Dmitry gave Chris a better sword than himself, his seething inferiority complex made it impossible for him to accept the reality.
And lost again.
This time I was angry.
People called themselves Dmitry’s Demon.
Although I had made enough progress and thought myself to be strong now, the fact that I could not defeat Chris brought great despair.
It has now become a reality that must be accepted.
The fact that Chris was above him, the clear fact that Roman Dmitry’s true sword was Chris, not himself.
I thought about it again and 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 on. I delved into a little more fundamental theory.
Where does the difference between myself and Chris come from, and is there no way to bridge the gap simply due to the gap of time?
It was madness.
I admitted it.
Roman Dmitry became his own life.
For a being who had many deficiencies, Roman Dmitry, who filled so many things, had no choice but to become everything in life.
So time passed and today came.
widely.
went on stage.
Above the wide open stadium, he saw Chris waiting for him.
‘We will definitely win this time.’
Third confrontation.
You will never be defeated three times.
* * *
There was tension in the air.
The fight between Chris and Kevin caught everyone’s attention, to the point where even the audience was careful to keep their breath.
Whoever wins.
A new history will be written.
With the tension rising, Chris spoke.
“Kevin. “As I was preparing for this competition, I knew that I would eventually stand here with you.”
It was calm.
People listened to the calm voice.
“My relationship with you started a long time ago. “When Dmitry was just emerging, not many people paid attention to you, but the way you looked at me and your attitude made me think that one day you might aim for my position.”
It was a truth I wanted to deny.
Chris tried hard to deny his rivalry with Kevin, but when he confirmed that he had defeated Ares, he realized his true feelings.
The rivalry had nothing to do with Kevin’s development.
From the moment Kevin expressed his strong desire to win in his first fight against him, Kevin’s existence was not simple for Chris.
Someday.
A being that will try to surpass itself.
I didn’t expect that time would come so quickly, but Kevin worked tirelessly to stand in front of him.
‘I can’t find any traces of the past.’
Kevin at that time.
Kevin was just a boy from the slums.
Kevin couldn’t even swing a sword properly.
A crazy guy who learned absurdly basic swordsmanship, but still expressed his venom against himself until the very end.
I admitted it.
It’s a competitor.
And competition was the foundation for development.
He will trample on his competitors brutally and advance to a level that no one can reach.

“I have no intention of giving my place to anyone, including you. Kevin. This is a space prepared for you and everyone who tries to surpass my position. Prove yourself by taking me down, or… … .”
Sreung.
I drew my sword.
People swallowed dry saliva.
I was completely overwhelmed by the situation and could not take my eyes off.
“Let my value shine through three defeats.”
No question or answer.
No more words were needed.
fluttering.
The referee gave the signal.
At the same time, the two beings facing each other rushed towards each other.
* * *
A fight between Chris and Kevin.
There was a picture that people expected.
I expected a match worthy of the reputation, but what unfolded on the stadium was a clash that went beyond imagination.
Pot.
Crumbling.
The first striker was Chris.
In a quick attack that tore through space in an instant, Kevin dug into the space swirling with aura without making any evasive moves.
Scratches appeared on the body.
Blood was splattered everywhere, but attacks aimed at vital points were completely blocked and the speed of the attack did not stop.
Area of control.
It was full power from the start.
When Kevin came into range and swung his sword like lightning, they exchanged several attacks in the blink of an eye.
Kaang!
Kakakakakakang!
If the attack is blocked.
Without fail, they attacked a vital point.
When Kevin let go of the attack and attempted a counterattack, Chris attacked with speed and destructive power that captured Kevin’s presence.
The world was complicated by the attacks coming from above, to the left, to the right, and to the lower body, and even when he tried to counterattack, Chris could not see any openings.
Rumbling.
It was an overwhelming presence.
Kevin had shown a one-sided performance up to this point, but Chris’s swordsmanship was holding even Kevin down.
The difference was in the aura.
In a situation where he could not overpower Chris in terms of skill, the destructive power of the aura made the difference between Kevin and Chris.
Above all, Chris’s appearance, not at all afraid of fast-paced close combat, blocked Kevin’s anomaly at once.
Quang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The aura exploded.
He cornered Kevin who was within close range.
Every time there was a strong collision, Kevin’s body seemed to shake and be pushed back.
‘strong.’
chris.
Dmitry’s flash.
The existence in memory developed again.
Even more than Chris in the first fight, and even more than Chris in the second fight, the presence of Chris, who grew beyond his own, weighed heavily on Kevin.
I had no choice but to admit it.
If Chris were the kind of person who walks in place, he would have kneeled before even their third fight.
Flash.
Papa papapang!
The space was torn apart.
Attacks that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye were coming from all directions, and instead of seeing and reacting, Kevin could only react to something that was captured by his sensitive senses.
It was the same just now. Chris’ attack passed right in front of my nose.
He clearly thought he attacked first, but what happened after that was Chris casually receiving the attack and trying to counterattack.
Pot.
I turned my head.
Blood splattered from my face.
Even though he was protected with an aura, the wound was torn shallowly, and Kevin captured the opponent’s appearance with unwavering eyes.
We have to be bolder.
We need to be more reckless.
So that.
Differences can be broken down.
Chris was obviously stronger than him, but he never thought of himself as weak even on a stage where life and death were at stake.
‘The first half of the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique is a one-second approach.’
Quang!
Crumbling.
It hit hard.
As soon as he attacked, he pushed against Chris’s presence as if he would not back down at all.
The eyes were shining with madness. How much I looked forward to this moment.
When he first lost, he didn’t dare compare himself to Chris, but now he had a good chance of winning as people were holding their breath.
will win
We will definitely win.
Quang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The counterattack was fierce.
Chris’s aura exploded, but Chris and Kevin did not back down even an inch at a distance so close that their existence became intertwined.
It was a matter of pride. Results and content. I hoped to win both.
It’s not that we won in the end, but we hoped to overwhelm our opponents from the start.
It was tense.
The more blood you shed.
The more violently it hits.
My mind became clear.
Kevin faced his opponent with a face filled with madness and remembered why he had targeted Chris.
Dozens of attacks.
Dozens of defenses.
It was never allowed.
I knew that when I defeated this being that fought back everything, it would become the strongest sword that Roman Dmitri would be proud of.
For that reason, I targeted Chris.
Inferiority was a feeling that arose because the other person was superior, and in Kevin’s world, Chris was the one who shined brighter than anyone else.
Flash.
My forearm was cut.
As the situation became increasingly bloody, Kevin was convinced.
This confrontation.
He will definitely win.
* * *
After the second loss.
Kevin was lost in thought.
I knew that I couldn’t surpass Chris simply by swinging my sword more and working hard.
‘Change is needed.’
Chris was a hard-working genius.
He is not the type of person who rests on his talent, but works as hard as he does, so no matter how much he improves, he cannot close the gap with Chris.
The result of the second confrontation spoke to reality.
Knowing that he cannot win just by living the same way as before, Kevin’s worries continue to grow as time goes by.
strength.
speed.
fence.
We lagged behind in all areas.
In general categories, there was no strength that surpassed Chris, but he was ahead of him in one thing.
Anomaly.
Breaking out of the box.
Kevin focused on that fact.
The Heavenly Demon Sword is a truly amazing and powerful weapon, but I knew that it could not surpass Chris in a battle of destructive power.
He is not Roman Dmitry.
If a single blow showed as much destructive power as Roman Dmitry, he would choose a straight attack, but he could not fight like Roman Dmitry even if he had the same weapon.
I changed my mind.
I needed my own weapon.
It was a huge change.
Kevin, who was a boy from the slums, trained according to the method taught by Roman Dmitri, and even when he learned the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique, he existed within the framework.
Unlike its anomalous tendencies, it was a being born entirely through the teachings of others.
Kevin threw off the frame that confined him.
The moment I thought about it and decided it was necessary, I pioneered a new area by combining what I 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, who was a strong contender for the championship, bowed down against him.
* * *
Pot.
Crumbling.
It was an opportunity.
The moment Chris attacked one after another, Kevin’s eyes turned sharp as he let them go.
Just one hit.
I had to compete with this attack.
If he doesn’t land a meaningful blow on Chris, the fierce battle will end in his defeat.
‘It causes mana to flow back.’
Rumbling.
The inside was seething.
Rather than exploding the mana of the dantian, rather, he recovered all the mana with the dantian and suppressed the mana.
It was an unusual method. Reflux is going against the flow of nature, and Kevin’s body screamed at the rapid changes taking place inside him.
It was an incredible pain. The pain and shock would have been enough to tear an ordinary person’s insides apart, but the regenerative power of the Demonic Demon Artillery withstood the backflow.
And then.
‘It explodes at once according to the structure of the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.’
In reality, it was only a fleeting moment.
1 second.
No, the time zone below that.
In the act of letting go of Chris’ attack and trying something, a change occurred inside Kevin.
Rumbling.
The mana of the dantian was tangled up.
The mana that was trying to advance and the mana that was regurgitated were tangled together, causing a powerful explosion at the moment Kevin wanted.
‘The first half of the Heavenly Demon Swordsmanship, three-second style.’
With this attack.
Destroyed Edwin Hector.
This time I did my best.
When the mana that had been flowing back began to erupt, mana exploded throughout his body and Kevin instantly delved into space.
Quang.
Papa pap papa pap.
Powerful explosion!
The methods of the Jungwon warriors and Alexander’s methods were in harmony.
While using the dantian to manipulate mana, Alexandre’s spurts added explosive power to his entire body.
It instantly made the distance from Chris useless.
The distance to the opponent narrowed in an instant, and a blazing aura erupted as if it would destroy the world.
Just one hit.
It was a speed that no one could react to.
When I completed this, I was convinced that no being in the world could stop it except Roman Dmitri.
Flash.
Divided the space.
finished.
In a time zone that people wouldn’t even recognize, Kevin’s powerful blow cut into Chris’ body.
That moment.
“… … !”
I opened my eyes wide.
He showed a look of disbelief.
Even the keen senses of a demonic magician brought to the extreme could not understand what had happened to him.
Wow.
Blood spurted out like a fountain.
A fleeting moment.
Chris’ attack penetrated space.
It was truly an extremely powerful and fast sword that no one except Roman Dmitri could understand.
