Chapter Index

    A critical situation.

    Kyle, sharpening his stance, informed Brian.

    “Hey, over there.”

    “Please speak.”

    “If I lose, the black market will get out of this business.”

    Brian’s face hardened when he heard this.

    That was because I really didn’t like his current behavior.

    “Do we really have to decide it with one blow?”

    I couldn’t understand.

    Why do they insist on a one-on-one fight when they have a numerical advantage?

    Kyle shook his head firmly.

    “Oh, that won’t do.”

    “Why on earth… .”

    “Why, are your eyes slits?”

    Kyle, who had scolded him, laughed bitterly.

    It seemed like it was just me.

    The person who properly read Kim Do-jin’s skills.

    A fight using numerical superiority?

    ‘Wouldn’t you want to say I’m crazy?’

    He is belligerent, but not so old-fashioned as to be willing to throw away his advantages and fight.

    But the reason I had no choice but to give up was because I saw the future.

    “If you fight with a sword, you all die.”

    When everyone is fighting together, there are only two people standing here.

    Just Brian and Kyle.

    Even Brian was deliberately kept alive by Kim Do-jin to extract information.

    Why would we drag out the predicted doom into the present?

    “Rather than that, it would be better to just end it with me.”

    Instead, my life or death has become uncertain, but at least my subordinates will survive.

    He shouted at his men.

    “Hey guys! If I lose, don’t be a bitch and come back right away and stop caring about this. Got it?!”

    “… … .”

    The subordinates were confused.

    How can a gentleman who always boasted that he could win against anyone say such weak things?

    But they believed.

    “Yes, Captain!”

    Even if they say things like that, their leader won’t lose.

    He took complete control of the situation and soon focused all his attention on Kim Do-jin.

    ‘That freaking bastard.’

    The more I looked at it, the more amazed I became.

    What on earth did he eat and how did he train to become such a monster?

    For a moment, I was left tongue-tied at the overwhelming momentum that was rising.

    ‘It’s a good opportunity.’

    As you get stronger, you have fewer and fewer opportunities to unleash your power.

    Because of the repercussions on the surrounding area, and because most of the missions given to me were focused on capturing rather than killing.

    But this time it’s different.

    A strong person worthy of giving his all has appeared.

    He was so happy about that that he immediately drew his sword to prepare for his greatest attack.

    Srrrrung

    Woohoo!

    The sword, pulled out of its scabbard, lets out a cry.

    He must have felt it too.

    That my master was extremely excited at the sight of a formidable enemy.

    The sword imbued with Kyle’s energy turns red and is sheathed with another blade.

    His sword was only intended for cutting.

    This was natural.

    Because he has lived his entire life in a world where if he doesn’t kill his opponent, he will die.

    When everyone was trying to find a way to exploit the opponent’s weakness by being mysterious and splendid, he only cut them down.

    If you can even mercilessly cut down your opponent’s defenses, what else do you need?

    So he kept grinding and grinding.

    Sword and crossbones.

    By continuously sharpening and sharpening the energy that allows you to cut anything you want, you have acquired the cutting power to truly cut anything.

    However, due to the enormous consumption of magical power and the rapid decrease in durability, it could only be swung once.

    But it didn’t matter.

    Because I was sure that after this blow, no further attacks were necessary.

    A blow that cuts off the enemy’s life with all the moves prepared by the opponent.

    After he defeated the dragon weapon that the boss had given him with difficulty, he named it this.

    “The Ultimate Slash.”

    The artist, who had given up everything and only focused on his sharp spirit, flew towards Kim Do-jin.

    Death runs silently, as if it were cutting through the sound of cutting through the air.

    As I watched Kim Do-jin, who was not showing any reaction, the word victory started to appear.

    Ss …

    pop!

    The red flag that had been flying without stopping exploded and disappeared without a trace.

    What happened?

    no.

    He saw.

    How Kim Do-jin countered his own blow.

    But it’s so shocking that my mind just can’t accept it.

    However, we cannot ignore the reality that has occurred forever.

    “Hey, this is okay.”

    Kim Do-jin countered my blow.

    That too with the same attack as itself.

    That means, he saw me sharpening my sword and learned and used it in real time.

    ‘Does that make sense…?’

    Something that was simply incomprehensible to his common sense.

    Perhaps he was learning a similar craft?

    I had that thought for a moment.

    “It’s still unfinished?”

    “… … .”

    He finally realized that he was wrong.

    Are you the only one here who truly understands his abilities?

    no.

    No one could figure out his true abilities.

    He shuddered at that fact.

    * * *

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a good technique.

    Rather than being overwhelmed by power or authority that surpasses standards, I should say that I encountered creativity that comes from the struggles of humans to become stronger.

    So I was happy, but also sad.

    “What is the name of this technique?”

    “… The ultimate bet.”

    “Hmm, not a bad name.”

    “Yeah. It’s not a bad name, but it’s also a name that can’t be used anymore.

    A guy who lowers his head slightly with a self-deprecating smile.

    ”No, why?“

    ”Because I couldn’t cut you.“

    aha.

    Your style is more old-fashioned than I thought.

    Looking at that guy with his legs sagging makes me feel like I’ve committed a crime.

    ”Don’t be too depressed. It’s because it’s still unfinished.“

    ”Incomplete.“

    ”Yeah. That one was so out of balance. It’s good that you’ve raised the expectations to the extreme, but you still need to balance it out a bit.“

    An awl with one end extremely sharp will eventually break.

    No matter how much you focus your power on one side, you should at least make a show of balancing it out.

    ”If you can just balance it out there, you’ll actually get stronger. Then you might actually get closer to that ultimate cut you’re talking about.“

    The head of the guy who had been away from the storm of advice secretly rises.

    ”But how…?“

    Look at this kid.

    I saved a drowning man, and now he’s asking for his bundle too.

    ”That’s the point of your technique, isn’t it?“

    Sharpening the sword to a sharp point.

    To do this, Kyle roughens the surface of his magical power and uses it like a whetstone to sharpen his sword.

    Here a problem arises.

    The sword is visible to the eye, but the magical power that takes the form of a whetstone is invisible.

    Then, in the end, you have to just go with feeling, but is it possible to handle this perfectly with just feeling?

    ”In short, you are grinding to the point where you don’t have to grind.“

    As the parts that need to be kept alive are torn apart, durability is weakened, and even the sharpest predictions become weak or shatter when attacked from the outside.

    ”Try to only grind a smaller area.“

    ”I want to cut a smaller area… .“

    Kyle nods his head with a serious expression.

    In fact, it was for this reason that this technology could be copied so quickly.

    Unlike him, who has to manipulate magic with his sixth sense, I can see it directly.

    It’s not difficult to see and follow the clearly revealed method.

    So it’s already been completed.

    ”Okay, look.“

    Saaak!

    The blue sword cladding on the sword exudes an aura so strong that it is blinding to the eyes just by looking at it.

    ”How is it, just looking at it makes you feel different?“

    ”Wow, it’s definitely different. Not only is it sharp, but it also looks durable.“

    ”Right.“

    Since the sword’s durability has been reduced to its limit, it is inevitable that it will become weaker.

    However, it is possible to reduce the drop from 1 to around 3 or 4.

    ”But… , it’s too vague. I can’t even get a feel for how to polish it.“

    A guy who despairs again.

    It was worth it.

    If I had to do it with my senses rather than my eyes, it would have been much harder than it is now.

    But what can I do?

    ”I have to try.“

    In the end, there is nothing left but effort.

    Humans must constantly strive to become stronger and survive.

    Human beings have nothing.

    Sharp teeth, strong jaws, amazingly sharp eyes, and strength to lift rocks.

    Since nothing is innate, it must be acquired.

    ”If a human being with nothing wants to reach the ultimate goal, that’s what he has to do.“

    If you just want to live, there’s no other way.

    ”Effort… , yeah, there is nothing but effort.“

    Kyle curls the corners of his mouth as he chews on the word effort.

    The guy who had regained his energy in no time thanked me.

    ”Thank you so much, Kim Do-jin. Thanks to you, I gained great enlightenment.“

    Then, the guy clenches his fist and steels his resolve.

    ”Next time, I will definitely cut you down with this sword!“

    ”Uh, um.“

    Is that the right thing to say to the benefactor who gave you enlightenment?

    While I was panicking.

    The guy gestured to Brian and the Paladins with his chin.

    ”You can do whatever you want with those. If there’s any trouble, I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry.“

    A guy who makes boasts.

    At the same time, Brian’s face, which had been piled up in Paladin’s crevice, turns pale.

    He looked at that guy and smiled faintly.

    ”Now, what do we do?“

    The guy who had been thinking for a moment soon declared with his shoulders slumped.

    ”Ha, I surrender.“

    ”Good idea.“

    I found a reference more easily than I thought.
