"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
"Uh-oh!
Time is evening.
Me and Kengo's duel has begun.
Early in the day, we ran and approached each other with auxiliary skills and fought a melee.
I don't see anything.
It's just a fantastic way to bump into each other as much as you can from the beginning.
This is the way it should be if Kengo and I fight.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
"Guh!?
Kengo has set aside the sword in his hand - the artifact Ragnarok - and has made a full swing toward my great shield.
And the moment the sword hit the big shield, my body was blown back a dozen meters, and from the audience, I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" and a boiling voice rose.
That's a hell of a power.
How destructive was the current wave?
If it wasn't for the big shield defense, that one shot could have ended.
"Eh, I thought that was an off-site home run."
Kengo is swinging like a baseball player with a cool face.
Don't replace the artifact with a bat.
You're gonna hit a bee.
... No, don't you hit it.
Even if it's God, it's Lori.
"I mean, think a little bit about the sword that might break."
"You can't break Ragnarok like that. I've been using it pretty rough, but I have no idea how much load this weapon will break."
"Heh."
Boulders are artifacts.
Just a sword you'll never break, but if you were a swordsman, you'd want one so bad that you could get your hands out of your throat.
But the true value of 'Ragnarok' is not there.
There is a tremendous amount of power in that one, just like 'cross'.
I get more vigilant watching Ragnarok.
"Oh, I'm telling you, I don't use the sword's unique skills. Don't worry there."
"What, you don't use it"
"You bet. If you use it here, it's gonna be a disaster."
"Oh well."
Kengo doesn't seem to use his' Ragnarok 'skills.
Then you can think of that sword as just a weapon with good cleavage and no breakage.
Still amazing enough though.
"I'm tying you in, so don't worry about this."
…………
Did you know?
Or did you see and imagine how I fought?
Well, either way, Kengo seems to be assuming I'm tying the use of damaged heels.
I guess this is fine because my damage heel, the power of Kengo's 'Ragnarok' is a good place to ruin it if you use it in these games.
"So let's go! Sin!"
And Kengo stopped chatting and ran out.
...... and do it!?
"Gu!?
I panicked and defended Kengo's attack with a big shield.
As a result, although the defense was successful, the impact could not be mitigated this time, so the HP is slightly reduced.
What is that?
Obviously it was beyond the speed that a regular person could get out.
Such a move was never in the previous battle.
That means this would be due to status correction.
The line of effect of items and equipment is also possible, but it does not seem to have been fast enough to cover it.
Kengo.
It was supposed to be a STR polar life, but you changed course to a STR-AGI type?
Did you regret losing to me so much?
I wonder how you twisted the status points for swinging to AGI.
Did you leave a point when you fought me before, or did you get a level up from then on?
Well, that's either way.
Now anyway, let's just think about adapting to Kengo's speed.
With years of experience fighting in the game and the ground, and a sense of battle away from home, plus future predictions from aliens (abilities), Kengo was equipped not only to attack, but also to manoeuvre.
This battle does not allow for a moment of alarm.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
As I was organizing the situation in my head, Kengo swung down his sword as much as he wanted.
When I see it, I push my shield forward to shed my sword.
"Gee! Gu..."
Kengo's sword is mighty.
I knelt down on the spot under unexpected sword pressure, even though that was the perfect time to recirculate.
That's a good place to push.
This is a VIT polar wave, but Kengo still has no attack power.
Besides, the current one was quite destructive, but the sword speed was also awesome.
Mechanically, it can be said that the destructive force is proportional to the speed.
So swinging to AGI also produces results that increase attack power.
Aside from the STR, I want you to give me a break about stepping and getting more and more polished on your aggression.
Well, I guess it's less powerful than if you purely raised your STR.
"Unless you say yes, my attack will never stop! Sin!"
"... I know!
I get up and jump off the spot before I hear Kengo.
Then the place where I was was was crushed by Kengo's sword.
Don't break it, or at least the sword will pierce you.
Why are you on the ground?
"You're so bossy!
Kengo keeps waving his sword at me, looking at the ground and fighting lightly.
Attacks like assholes are amazing, but Kengo's moves were largely captured on the offense just now.
Speed is just as good as Phil's.
In this short battle, I am forced to adapt to Kengo's movements.
If we can't do that, the power alone could push Kengo out of this fight.
"... oh, let's do it"
"Naturally."
Kengo looks at me with his sword in his shield and says "ho".
Until just now, I was left to be hit, so it would have been boring for Kengo.
- But.
"Don't think you can do so much damage to me from here!
My remaining HP is 80%.
He said he prevented the attack by the sword with a shield, but he took 20% of the damage.
The rules of the tournament dictate losing when HP is halved.
I mean, I'm out if they cut my HP about 30% more.
But I somehow got the hang of recieving Kengo's sword.
I won't do any more damage with the sink by the shield.
"I don't know about that."
But Kengo has an extra face.
This guy takes the attitude that he's a heck of a bitch whenever he fights.
So these reactions are the same as always.
"Oh, my God, I feel like I'm finally starting an engine, too. If you think I did what I did earlier, it hurts, right?
I also know Kengo is a slow starter.
Even before you give your best performance, you're strong enough, but it's pretty scary that your sword muscles get a little sharper as you fight.
"Heh... then it's time for me to show him the full power of it"
"I'll show you if you don't tell me!
But it's also true that you can't be afraid of Kengo's such habits in my battle style, which forces me to fight long.
At the same time as I can put my strength into my shielded hand, I also gently check the feeling of the hand holding the 'cross'.
The key to battle is how you can hit Kengo.
So let's fold it all up at this time when this guy's engine isn't working.
Physical Acceleration, Mental Acceleration.
And - "Range Stagnation (Area Stagnation):!
"Sweet!
"... chip!
When I activated "Range Stagnation" on the entire space in front of me, Kengo ran out of my sight as if I had foreseen it.
Maybe I used [Forecasting the Future].
He said he could only see a few seconds away, but after believing that information and seeing the results now, isn't Kengo constantly activating the anomaly (ability)?
Otherwise, it is impossible to avoid the current stalemate.
I don't know how much the persistence is, but you shouldn't have sweet expectations that you're running out of gas and moving dull.
I'd rather have a gas shortage first.
Even though the output is suppressed, the limit is two hours to maintain physical acceleration (physical acceleration) and mental acceleration (mental acceleration).
If I cross the two-hour limit, I'll be temporarily deactivated.
... No, it would actually be shorter than two hours.
Before I tried Kengo, my health was drained considerably in the fight to the semifinals.
In that sense, Kengo, the final seed, is in the rules-based favor of the Games.
Well, Kengo should have drained Phil's search using his powers quite a bit, too, but I feel a little unfair.
Let's complain about the operation even after we win.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
With that in mind, I launched an attack on Kengo.
"Guh! Now it's from that way! Fine! I'm not dealing with you!
Then Kengo shrugs off with a fierce grin and a piece of paper over the continuous thrust I release.
I guess the part due to [future prediction] is also huge, but I don't feel any precipitation at all in the motion to avoid attacks.
This is going to be a hard time just hitting one shot.
"Your turn is over! Next time it's my turn!
Kengo's attack resumed just after this attack came to a paragraph.
Not even while I'm resting.
Always a full throttle when fighting Kengo.
"Ugh!" Slash "!
If I thought so, Kengo has somehow used his skills at close range.
"Slash" is a basic skill in the swordsman position and seems to be quite easy to handle in all situations due to its fast exit and low stiffness time after activation.
But it's up to middle players (intermediates) to work in these interpersonal matches.
In me and my Kengo class opponents, a slight gap after using their skills will kill them.
I'm sure Kengo knows a lot about that.
That's why you should have only used auxiliary skills.
Yet I used it.
He activated a skill that exposed me to an unprotected moment.
That's what I didn't understand.
…………
I avoided Kengo's "slash" when it came to reconciling plans.
This skill is also commonly used by Mina, so she knows exactly what orbit the sword draws.
If you know you're coming, there's no such thing as avoiding it, and you can afford to aim at the counter from there.
I can't move without my skills. I dive into Kengo's pocket and cross.
"Ugh!
"Buh!?
I was beaten.
He had been hit in the cheek by Kengo with his left hand, which did not have a sword.
The thought turns white after an unexpected attack and my body blows up behind me.
"What the fuck!?
And after flying a few meters, I set my shield against Kengo, considering the possibility that the pursuit would come.
But Kengo seems unwilling to go on and attack from there, repeatedly holding and opening his left hand on the spot.
"Whoa... why is the attacking side damaged? It's too tight."
"... why this line over here. Why did you use Slash and it's not rigid?"
Kengo has a subtle decrease in his HP gauge as well, but mine has been shredded by nearly 10%.
Give me a break about 10% of the time I just got hit with my bare hands.
Well, that makes the attack so puzzling.
There's no way Kengo can beat me at that time.
You think I misjudged the skill rigidity time?
"Don't be surprised. I'm just saying that I canceled my skill activation on the way."
"... what?"
Skill cancellation.
It's the first time I've heard that technology is in Earth's skills.
"So don't be surprised. Because you know what happens if you get in the way while your skills are activated. I mean, earlier, I intentionally woke it up and lost my hard time."
…………
Indeed, skills can be interrupted when motion goes crazy along the way.
It's a phenomenon that happens when someone shocks you or your scaffolding is about to get worse right after you activate your skills.
At Kengo's feet is an unstable scaffold that he broke with his sword earlier.
Probably used that one.
But this is not the kind of craftsmanship that can happen so easily.
Perhaps Kengo has trained quite a bit to acquire this player skill.
"Well, I'm the only one who can use this in action."
"... heh"
My imagination was apparently a hit.
Player skills that lose stiffness after a skill is activated?
This is a gold bar to ghosts for a guy with offensive skills.
Nevertheless.
It doesn't even make things as clean as they were just now.
Even if Kengo doesn't explain it to me, I'm not going to make an inadvertent attack, whether it's right after I release my skills.
I guess that's why Kengo, too, is talking to such perplexes.
It's only once that this works.
And - it also means Kengo can't give me a decent offense if I don't rely on such oddity.
Besides, even [predicting the future] lacks decision making.
This fact gives me the strength to fight.
"Kengo... now I'm having fun"
"Well, that's an odd encounter. I was just having fun, too."
While I breathe, I sharpen my spirit so that Kengo can handle whenever he waves his sword.
Even though the HP over there still leaves nearly 10%, this one only leaves a little over 70%.
That's all the audience will think I'm at a disadvantage.
But I'm never at a disadvantage.
My best defense outweighs Kengo's.
"Come on, Kengo. You're a man of power just to attack, aren't you?
"I'll attack you if you don't tell me! I don't want you to cry!
So I dared to go in there and protect him.
The time limit that I can activate my powers is roughly two hours.
You wait two hours for Kengo to make a mistake.
Consolidating protection and waiting for even the wrong of my opponents is my best method of warfare.
I have no hesitation in doing it this time either.
"Ugh!!!
Kengo sets up a furious rush.
But I'll be polite with that one at a time.
They weave their attack skills from time to time, but I never get caught up in it, and I never get pressured by its power.
My protection is the iron wall.
It doesn't even take a little damage anymore.
That's all I have confidence in.
"Chip! Pretty katey! Chickshaw!"
Twenty minutes have passed.
As always, Kengo's attacks are constant, but they haven't done me any damage.
"but ahhhhhhhhhh! How long have you been stuck in your shell? You're gonna have to fight back and show me the gap!
"... is there a fool who fights back when they say that"
Forty minutes have passed.
We skip a light mouth, but the hand of the attack that follows doesn't fall in between.
I've been dating for years, so Kengo must know what I'm up to, too.
Yet I wonder how confident I am in my battle style that I will not loosen my hand in offense.
Well, it's the same thing I'm confident of.
"Isn't it time to... snap? It's also a sindoi to keep attacking with all your might."
"... Shut up! Then you must be very tired! I won't let you tell me it's easier to protect you!
An hour has passed.
Kengo was right, when it came to snagging, it snagged.
There's no way it's easy to just keep protecting it.
But I keep moving my body trying not to put it on my face.
This is already a root race.
My defense and Kengo's attack.
Serious battle over which is the top.
I'm not allowed to pull in this fight!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!"
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!"
There are no longer 1,000 or 2,000 sword strikes taken during this match.
I don't see tiredness or anything like Kengo's sword muscles rolling out at will from up, down, left and right, and on the contrary, I have reached a level that is not comparable to the beginning.
I'm winning at speed.
Yet the truth is that critical protection is on time.
When I get this far to the boulder, even I get a rush sprout.
It's also getting tougher to keep activating alien powers (abilities).
HP still keeps 70%, but I've been twitching and getting ready to lose myself.
"No!?
- But there came a turning point in our fight.
Kengo has unleashed on me his attack skill of swinging his sword down from the top.
Of course, I thought it might be a mix of skill cancellations using poor scaffolding.
However...... skills have not been cancelled.
Kengo, waving his sword vertically and standing on the bar, was right in front of me.
Has this failed to cancel my skills?
Even though it was evening before the game started, the sun is now starting to fall and scaffolding is harder to see.
There is a good chance you made a mistake.
Or a new trap to invite me.
If [Future Prediction] was used, the possibility that it was a trap could be as good as a mistake.
"Ugh!
With that in mind, I waved a 'cross' to Kengo in a flash of judgment.
The easiest choice here is to turn to see how things are going.
Also, the most important thing you shouldn't do is get your hands on a scattered stray statement and get a counterattack.
Making an attack in zero seconds of thought time means halfway through it. It can be described as a highly gambling option that is risky but with significant returns to be expected.
But I chose that middle.
There is no specific reason why you decided to do so.
This was no longer the same behavior my instincts ordered me to do.
"Guh!?
"... Ugh!
And I - I won that bet.
Skill cancellation mistakes now created a deadly gap in Kengo, and my offense by 'Cross' was beautifully decided.
But we must not stop the hand of attack here.
I shook up 'Cross' again for Kengo.
"Oh well!
Then Kengo draws an orbit like playing 'Cross' with his sword.
But that was sweet.
Kengo's movement with negative correction by 'cross' is slightly dull.
Teasing that slightly dull sword, I slapped a 'cross' on Kengo's arm.
"Not yet!
Don't let them see how much negative correction was applied to the opponent who was attacked by 'Cross'.
That alone makes it easier for the opponent to make an error in how much he can move now and hit the next attack.
This is a must-have style I knitted through the duel.
I still hit three, four, five shots after that.
"Grrrrrr!!!
Kengo comes packing his distance from me, even with a painful look on his face.
Are you going to aim for a dead counter here?
"KENGOOOOOOOOOO!!!
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Kengo's sword blushes my shoulder.
That cut HP 60%.
But that's all.
Forced to twist my body and do dodging exercises, I let go of a series of "cross" thrusts while disfiguring.
The poking is beautifully decided on Kengo's belly.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
And I rolled out my last thrust in a big motion, blowing Kengo back.
Kengo has a weak defense because of his focus on power and speed.
My attack halved my HP with a dozen rounds and fell on my back to the ground.
"Ha... ha... uh... sticky loser at the end..."
Kengo, who was a big letter and freed his body, breathed on his shoulders but said so.
Looking only at the results, Kengo's cause of defeat lies in his mistakes.
It's enough to make such a mistake, so Kengo probably didn't have enough health left to sustainably use [Future Prediction] either.
Nevertheless, before that, there was not a single notable mistake.
The power of Kengo, who has been attacking with no gaps for more than an hour, is astonishing.
"Oh... damn... you lost... I..."
Kengo begins to cry on the spot.
My eyes are moist anyway, and I think I'm going to cry now.
If things were a little different, I'd be the bigger one.
That was a critical battle to make you think so.
"Next time... next time, I'm gonna win! Kaguya!!!
I'll win next.
It's a line I've heard many times during the tournament, but I always thought Kengo would say it too.
"Oh... looking forward to it... I do. Well... next time... let me... let me win... but..."
I told Kengo about my decision dialogue.
I couldn't say enough of the dialogue in one breath, my dear.
That's how I beat Kengo.
I beat Kengo squarely, albeit with limitations on my abilities.
I try to shout joy at this fact, but my breath is rising, my vision is seeping, and I'm not going to be able to shout.
So I didn't speak up and poked my right hand toward heaven as I heard the applause overflowing from the audience.
One hour and fourteen minutes.
This is how long it will take for the duel finals.
And I won the duel.
