As long as I exercise my strength, I am invincible.

This wasn’t an oversight or a joke.

Because I have never lost with my super power turned on.

If he pushed forward with this enhanced physical ability, Haejin Han had no choice but to lose.

No, it’s probably at a level where you have to worry about whether your life will be saved.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to start a slugfest from now on.

I have to push it like this to get it over with, and somehow wash away the liquid and regenerate it.

So I went straight ahead and swung my fists.

Because if I don’t win based on this awesome power, I think I’ll lose.

But contrary to what I thought, Ahn Hae-jin was holding up quite well.

Although it was clumsy, he steadily raised his guard and avoided critical hits.

It was clear that the intention was to give him one hit and then pass out.

So I couldn’t hit it.

The fact that I gained super strength means that my body decided that if I didn’t kill it, I would die.

Of course, the physical condition here is also the worst.

Ahn Hae-jin seems to have an intention to kill me, but I have no intention of killing Ahn Hae-jin.

Because of that decisive difference, if I lose by just one inch.

If I did that, it would be a really big problem, so I couldn’t rush into it actively.

Even so, I had no intention of seeing it.

Every time I swung my fist, I put a lot of power into it.

Because of that, every time he hit, Ahn Hae-jin’s face was distorted in pain along with a bloody sound.

It was a shock that no ordinary person could have endured, but she seemed to be able to endure it somehow.

A proper body blow would finish him off, but his guard is surprisingly strong, so it seems difficult to target him.

… It was quite an embarrassing situation.

The fact that I was pushing Ahn Hae-jin was a good situation in itself.

But only when the push is this small does Pyrrhus win.

However, there is no guarantee that Pyrrhus will not win even if he pushes with all his might.

So it seemed like I had no choice but to beat on him until he gave up.

There’s no guarantee that they’ll give up willingly, but whatever.

That’s because your thoughts may change if you beat them.

He organized his thoughts and continued his fierce attack, but at some point, Ahn Hae-jin was not pushed back.

Rather than forcefully enduring my attacks, he was now lightly counterattacking.

And the moment he realized that, Ahn Hae-jin let down his guard.

I tried to retrieve the fist I had swung, but I knew it was already too late.

“Qu… !”

“Because I won’t fall down that easily.”

It was a clean counter punch to the face.

After carefully checking to make sure nothing was missing, I spat the accumulated blood and spit onto the street.

It was so numb that I was worried that a tooth might have fallen out, but fortunately my cheek was only slightly torn.

No, if you look at the blood accumulating again, it’s probably just a little level.

“Fuck haircut.”

As I survived, I gradually stopped swearing, but in this situation, I had no choice but to swear.

Especially when I realized that if I wait any longer, I could die.

Ahn Hae-jin raised his awkward guard again and watched the situation.

Now that I see it, it was truly a terrible sight.

Several streams of blood were flowing from the eyes, nose, and mouth.

It was just as Ahn Hae-jin had said that we would see something a bit scary.

I thought for a moment, then took a stance and sighed.

“Is this a side effect of overusing one’s abilities?”

“Yes, whatever. There’s this and that, right?”

“Yeah, it’s really terrible.”

Instead of answering, Ahn Hae-jin tried to kick me.

It was a pretty clean high kick, but fortunately I was able to raise my guard in time to block it.

A fairly heavy impact shook both arms, and it was difficult to move them.

And I really mean it.

He said sincerely, clenching his fists.

“Look at the real shit.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I know because I’ve been beaten a lot, but now you.”

“… ”

“You’re not at the level of an ordinary person, are you? If you get close to death, will you gain any kind of superpower?”

“At first glance, it’s similar.”

“ Sons.#◦

I didn’t think it was unreasonable.

It was so absurd that it was simply a polar opposite.

My basic ability is transcendental regenerative power, and my basic ability is a liquid that corrodes everything.

No, isn’t it the same that if you get close to death, your physical abilities will greatly improve?

Anyway, thinking that fate could not play such a trick, I swung my fist with all my might.

Ahn Hae-jin also waved his fist as if he thought this was an opportunity.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“… Ugh!”

Along with the sound of a bomb exploding, an intense pain arose from the fists that collided.

Even if I couldn’t do it, I thought I would have at least cracked my bones.

But I couldn’t hesitate, so I gritted my teeth and continued the fight again.

Ahn Hae-jin did not know much about martial arts.

I was sure of that. It was limited to just observing and following by feel.

It’s the same with clumsily raising the guard, and the fact that the fist’s trajectory is clearly visible.

In fact, it was clear that he had beaten the others in a dog fight using acidic liquid.

So, I thought that if I moved with that in mind, I could solidify my victory to some extent.

I learned martial arts, but I also have experience getting beaten up.

Even though it was unfair to be hit so hard that a hole was made in the ship, the trajectory towards the ship could be predicted with certainty.

Other trajectories could be predicted to some extent, and even the liquid splashing from Ahn Hae-jin’s arms and legs could be avoided to some extent.

So, in the basic flow of battle, I had to have the upper hand.

It seemed like they and I had similar levels of strength.

If strength is the same, what determines victory or defeat is skill.

Since I am the one with better skills, I have to win.

“This bastard… !”

I couldn’t easily overpower it because it attacked me without saying a word and with the determination to die.

It was clear that he had completely erased the thought that he might die.

Even if you hit your chest or stomach hard enough to make you feel like something is wrong.

He somehow moved forward, swinging his fists or throwing kicks.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t feel the pain.

Every time he failed to defend himself, Ahn Hae-jin’s expression became severely distorted.

When the body blow was applied properly, it was clear that consciousness was momentarily lost.

But Ahn Hae-jin held on like a roly-poly and then continued to attack me.

Add to that the onslaught of attacks that made it seem like it wouldn’t matter if I died here, and I slowly started to be pushed back.

Basically, I should have the upper hand, but it was a really strange thing.

No, it couldn’t be said to be a strange thing.

I knew how to beat Ahn Hae-jin.

If I fought with the determination to die, I was destined to win in the end.

If strength and determination are the same, skill will determine victory or defeat.

However, I didn’t want to die.

I didn’t want to die, so I endured this ugly situation.

He said he didn’t want to die so he came here somehow.

There was no way I could fight like that, prepared to die.

As a result, I felt that I was gradually starting to lose ground.

Even if you steadily raise your guard and aim for a counterattack, or even if you speed up in the middle and continue into a slugfest.

In the end, I was the one who was forced to take a step back.

And the moment I felt like I was completely pushed back, my posture collapsed.

I tried to hastily raise my guard, but it was already too late.

Because Ahn Hae-jin wasn’t stupid enough to just watch her posture collapse.

Starting with the stomach, fists were concentrated on the upper body.

It felt like my intestines were being torn apart, I was out of breath, and I heard tinnitus in my ears.

My vision became blurry and then came back again and again.

It felt like something was flowing from my mouth, and it was difficult to come to my senses.

My arms and legs had already started shaking a long time ago.

Looking at the difficulty in breathing and the pain in my chest, it seemed like my ribs were broken in several places.

As a result, I started to think that I was going to die, not that I might die.

I know that hesitation means defeat, but the point at which I hesitated was already over.

When I came to, I felt like I had fallen to the floor and rolled over violently.

That wasn’t the end, his upper body was trampled by Ahn Hae-jin.

Fortunately, Ahn Hae-jin did not seem to be fine.

After fighting like that, it was clear that he was practically on the verge of collapse.

But I was also on the verge of collapsing.

If I did something stupid there, it seemed like Ahn Hae-jin would put pressure on his feet.

Then I wouldn’t be able to cope.

You won’t faint or be in a state to fight.

“… If you beg for your life, I will give it to you. That’s how I do it… ”

Ahn Hae-jin let out a sigh.

Now that I see it, it looks like they did something to keep me alive and subdue me.

In any case, use yourself, no.

I wondered if she was willing to fight to the death to prove the usefulness of other saints.

I couldn’t help but hesitate about this.

Because I wanted to avoid death at least.

And if you surrender here, you won’t die.

That was certain. Because Jinsoo Citizens’ Union needs people like me.

It will be a bit rough, but as a hostage, your life will be preserved.

And it might have been better to bow down like this.

But suddenly this thought occurred to me.

If you didn’t want to die, you shouldn’t have come to Jinju alone without fear.

Because I knew this was a limb.

There was already one chance to run away.

And yet I came back here.

This was not the action of someone who did not want to die.

It was stupid to say that I was vaguely thinking about not dying.

“… Oh, fuck.”

“… Are you going to fight more?”

Ahn Hae-jin asked, putting strength on his feet.

I forced myself to nod and said.

“He believes in me and extends his hand… There are people I admire.”

“… Well.”

“It doesn’t look good to say that I surrendered because I didn’t want to die. At least you have to faint and then be caught, so that you can be more energetic… ”

Instead of answering, Ahn Hae-jin raised his foot.

And that was that bastard’s failure.

If you give me a chance to deal, it won’t work.
