Blood Demon King

A stab attack aiming for the upper right.

I evade the attack by stepping back.

Avoiding the opponent’s preemptive strike means I have a chance to counterattack.

But I didn’t draw my katana.

Eyes meet in the void.

I let out a subtle smile at the mixture of anxiety and doubt in their eyes, and step back again.

They must have watched my match videos through the tournament site, so they would have thought a counterattack would come by now.

What I need now is a performance.

It was to show the opposing team that I was narrowly avoiding attacks.

The doubt disappears from the opponent’s eyes. They must have noticed that I have no intention of attacking, as they immediately changed the trajectory of their sword and continued their attack.

Swish-!

A large, continuous sword strike.

A huge downward slash covering the front.

I need to get hit a little this time.

The moment my leg planted on the ground starts to rotate slightly, my upper body twists to the side.

The sword strike flies, aiming for that spot.

Chwaak!

A cold sensation passes, cutting near my solar plexus.

Since I’m not wearing armor, my health decreases rapidly.

But it’s shallow. My movement isn’t restricted.

My health decreased by 10% with this strike.

Only then did I draw my katana and deflect the opponent’s sword.

Chaeng!

The trajectory of the sword wavers slightly.

Due to my insufficient strength stat, I couldn’t completely knock away the opponent’s sword.

But that was enough for now.

Because I managed to block additional attacks and seize the opportunity to retreat.

Tadak-

The opponent stares blankly as I retreat.

The emotions that surfaced in their eyes were confusion and hesitation.

They’ll be unsure. Because I’m showing a very different playstyle than the information they obtained in advance.

Deceive the opponent’s senses. Suppress myself.

I slightly raised the corner of my lips.

It’s a shame I can’t provoke the opponent because of the tournament rules.

“Haat!”

5 seconds.

That’s how long it took for the hesitating opponent to swing their sword.

I evade the first strike and take the second.

This time, the arm.

The more wounds I get, the faster my health decreases.

Chaeng!

I don’t allow the third attack.

I swing my katana again to deflect the opponent’s sword.

After that, I repeat this process.

The opponent must have felt frustrated.

Surely, they must think they can win against me, but I’m not falling.

The opposing team watching this match will think.

Why can’t they win? They should be able to win.

Why aren’t they going in there?

What about additional attacks? Why are they waiting for the opponent?

Chwaaaak!

When the repetitive action has been repeated three times, I change the order this time.

I allow the first strike and evade the second.

I finish by deflecting the last, third one.

,Are you f*cking kidding me right now?”

When my remaining health reached 60%.

The opponent finally opened their mouth.

Trembling arms and blazing eyes.

I know what emotions they must be feeling.

It must look like I’m mocking them.

But I’m doing my best.

Working to extract the best win rate within my capabilities.

So I don’t answer.

,Why… why aren’t you attacking…!”

Swiiiiish!

I don’t let the opponent finish their sentence.

I draw the katana from my waist and swing it quickly.

The blue slash that flies through the air grazed the opponent knight’s cheek.

,Why attack?”

Not attacking?

I just did. I shook my sword at the opponent with a brazen expression.

A simple movement with no intention of attacking.

Of course, it’s an action to provoke the opponent.

But it would have looked different from the outside.

Gauging the distance to continue additional attacks.

A defensive stance in preparation for the opponent’s counterattack.

,Uwaaaah!”

Anger erupts from the knight’s mouth.

They can’t properly control their emotions.

To explode with anger at such a small provocation.

It was the moment I realized once again that the opponent was a young student.

Swiiish-!

Shwaaaak!

The attacks became faster. But the initial sharpness has dulled.

Anger clouds the eyes. It means it’s a natural result.

For now, the first goal has been achieved.

What remains is how the opposing team will react.

Should I take a few more hits?

I acted with a difficult expression, evading and receiving the opponent’s attacks, allowing only the minimum amount of attacks.

,Th, Uwaaaaah!”

Chwaaaak!

The back of the hand and arm.

Chwaaaak!

The right thigh.

Pwyut!

The left cheek.

The more sword wounds I get, the more my health decreases.

Now my remaining health is 30%.

A little more.

More.

Chwaak!

An attack that comes in deeply, as if tearing off my right shoulder.

My health decreases rapidly, and my vision turns red.

A deep attack means the opponent’s stance is large.

Anyone could tell.

That the opportunity for a counterattack had come.

The opponent seemed to belatedly realize their mistake and continued to move their sword to finish me off, but my body moved faster.

Kung!

A leg stretches out greatly.

Along with that, my upper body bends down.

The katana at my waist is drawn out vertically.

Chwaak!

From bottom to top.

A stab with all my strength.

The tip of the katana pierces the opponent’s chin and penetrates their head.

The match is over.

Warm blood flows down the blade of the katana, as if announcing my victory.

Chwak!

The opponent starts to fall the moment I pull out the katana.

A strike to a vital point takes their life, regardless of how much health they have left.

,Ha…”

I stick the blood-stained katana into the ground and look up at the sky.

With a tired expression to boot.

Immediately after that, I raise my hand and wipe my face.

I perform as if I barely managed to win by pouring everything into it.

I am the Blood Demon King.

Deron’s evil demon.

I’m the one who even shows my armpits as fan service.

A little acting is no problem at all for a perfect victory.

So take it.

My challenge.

[Consecutive Match Offer]

[Consecutive Match Offer has been rejected.]

,Heok…?”

It was rejected as soon as I applied.

I stared blankly at the sky with my mouth open.

Why? Why? Why won’t they accept it when I’ve worked so hard?

Isn’t it winnable? My remaining health is 6%. If they accept the consecutive match, it’ll be 3% health.

It’s a figure that I can win if I can just graze them with my sword.

[Hey. Yeon-a…?]

,Ah, uh…?”

[The opposing team forfeited…?]

,Fo, forfeited…?”

What on earth is this all about?

I tilted my head at Sohee’s words and ended the game.

Sohee was standing in front of the capsule as if she had been waiting for me to come out.

I leaned my head slightly out of the capsule and asked Sohee.

,What are you talking about? The entire opposing team forfeited?”

,Yeah.”

,Is that true?”

,It’s true.”

Sohee’s words were true.

What I saw when I got out of the capsule was just a large letter floating on the screen.

[Victory!]

,Oh…”

I didn’t feel like I had won.

I just felt a slight tingling in the back of my head.

As I stood there blankly, the situation started to progress quickly.

Employees and staff who came into the booth.

And even the caster with a microphone in his hand came.

Even several cameramen were mobilized behind them.

,Congratulations on your victory!”

Congratulations?

Is it okay for me to be congratulated?

[Main News]

It can be said that the VRS School Competition was the biggest topic of discussion among the amateur tournaments held this year.

The number of spectators who came to the venue on the day of the final to watch the match exceeded 10,000, which shows how great people’s interest was.

(A photo of Ha-yeon smiling while holding the championship trophy)

The VRS School Competition became such a hot topic thanks to one player.

A person who was more famous as the ‘Middle School Samurai’ than by her name, and who had trouble with the pro player Wild, has built up considerable recognition even as an amateur….

…

…

…

The VRS School Competition, which brought in more attention than everyone expected, successfully came to an end.

The final match ended faster than expected, but the breathtaking come-from-behind victory shown in the last match impressed many VRS users.

[I knew that team would win.]

-Wild

[The player with the most promising future.]

-Jin

[I want to play on the same team as that player.]

-Biseuzu

Active professional players were also paying attention to this game, so they even left short comments.

[Comments]

[Who is this?]

[She’s pretty ㅎㅎ…]

[Why is Deron’s Blood Demon King there…?]

ㄴ[Is she debuting in VRS?]

ㄴ[No way. She’s still doing Deron right now.]

ㄴ[There are rumors going around. But judging by the fact that there are no articles, it seems like it’s taking time in the negotiation part?]

[The final was a bit anticlimactic]

ㄴ[Because the opposing team forfeited… If they hadn’t forfeited, there would have been a lot more cool scenes, right?]

ㄴ[They’re cowards. They could have won if they fought without giving up. I heard they rejected the last consecutive match too?]

ㄴ[What do you mean cowards ㅋㅋ Isn’t that a natural reaction? How can amateur students beat professional players?]

ㄴ[Who’s a pro? I don’t think Ha-yeon-nim has debuted yet]

ㄴ[The pros acknowledged herㅋㅋㅋ And she’s Wild’s older sister, so of course she’s good.]

ㄴ[The Cheongsan High School kids said it. They said that forfeiting was the obvious choice because they could never win.]

ㄴ[What’s Cheongsan High School?]

ㄴ[The runner-up team]

[Is she really Wild’s older sister? She looks more like a younger sister than an older sister…?]

ㄴ[LOLㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[I’m organizing this because I think everyone has the wrong information.]

[1. Yeon-ssi is not Wild’s older sister.]

[2. She’s no longer a ‘middle school’ samurai, but a ‘high school’ samurai.]

[3. She’s not making her pro debut. She’s still playing an RPG game called Deron.]

ㄴ[Really? She’s not Wild’s older sister?]

ㄴ[Yes ㅎㅎ..]

ㄴ[Then she should be my older sister.]

ㄴ[…?]

[Is she really a high school girl? Are the babies going to starveㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

ㄴ[LOLㅋㅋㅋ I don’t think milk will come out]

ㄴ[Can’t you two just hold your breath?]

[What school does she go to?]

ㄴ[Judging by the uniform, it looks like Shinyeon High School?]

ㄴ[Heok…]

ㄴ[Heokㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

ㄴ[Why are you curious about the school?]

ㄴ[I’m a fan and I want to get an autograph ㅎㅎ;;]

ㄴ[Shinyeon High School is currently inaccessible to outsiders.]

[Yeon-i Nuna…]

[Nuna… I’m cold… When are you debuting in VRS…]

ㄴ[LOL This year is a master of push and pull]

ㄴ[When did she do push and pull ㅋㅋ She’s only been pushing. This year is just not interested in VRS itself]

ㄴ[Uh-huh… No bad words.]

ㄴ[I hate Deron… I’m going to kill Deron…]

[Is the game Deron that fun? I’m getting interested after seeing the comments]

ㄴ[It’s a sh*tty game. If you throw money at it, you can immediately reach end-game specs]

[Blood Demon King Collection Available Now https://gall….]

ㄴ[Why is this real?]

ㄴ[What is it? Why does it say it’s a deleted post?]

ㄴ[Show me too, damn it]

ㄴ[The stripes were f*cking awesome ㅋㅋㅋ]

[I don’t think she’ll ever debut as a pro? She was the only one who had scouts give her business cards, but they were all thrown away on the street]

ㄴ[Really?ㅋㅋㅋ What a crazy b*tchㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

ㄴ[She’s not a crazy b*tch]
