388Tue Second Continental War (11)

Kevin.

He wasn't supposed to be here..

According to Kronos' calculations, he should still be in Valhalla, but he appeared before Ares' eyes sooner than expected..

Sussssuk.

Kevin walked forward through the grass..

Kevin's appearance was a mess..

Her hair was matted and unkempt, and the deep shadows around her eyes gave off a tired look..

It looked like there was no need for explanation..

Kevin and his group must have worked hard to get to Dmitri, and as soon as they heard the news of the Kronos Imperial Army, they seemed to have dispersed and wandered through the grass..

limp arms.

A sword was held in his right hand..

Kevin had deeply sunken eyes and muttered as if he had lost his mind..

“When I first received reports of your betrayal. I couldn't believe the news. You, who slaughtered the rankers of Valhalla for Dmitri not long ago, were actually a dog following the Kronos Empire. Everyone, including me, couldn't accept that fact. At first, I thought I was denying reality due to the betrayal of a comrade who had entrusted my back on the battlefield, but as time passed, the ominous feeling that took over my head was a little different from other people's..”

that day.

everyone was angry.

Chris ordered to move quickly in response to the evil, and headed towards the Frankish border at any time of the day or night..

Thanks to that, we advanced the schedule..

3It was a very unreasonable schedule that took several days, but they arrived through the warp gate of the endless mountain range around dawn on the third day..

Fortunately, Dmitry was safe..

Although I felt relieved that Dmitri had not collapsed, I quickly became angry at Ares for betraying Dmitri..

“When I thought about it, the reason I had a hard time accepting reality was because Ares, a strong man recognized by everyone in Dmitry, betrayed me. Because he knew how fatal Ares' betrayal would be. Since even I cannot guarantee victory, you have a high chance of inflicting enough damage to destroy Dmitri. It's not that I trust you, it's that I couldn't accept your betrayal..”

That's what I'm saying to Ares.

It was a monologue reflecting on the situation..

Kevin took one step at a time towards Ares, his eyes flashing with madness..

“On the way to Dmitry, I prayed to heaven every moment. Please, please let Dmitry be safe. Never let them fall against evil forces like Kronos. And God listened to my will. Dmitry was safe, and even my last wish came true..”

Stand tall.

stopped walking.

The distance between the two was close.

If both parties decide to attack, the distance is long enough to swing their swords at each other in an instant..

Kevin laughed..

His wildly matted hair represented his final wish..

“My last wish was to find you first. Ares. From now on, just as I prayed and prayed all night long, I will appease the vengeful spirits of Dmitry's people who tore your limbs to pieces and died..”

no more.

There was no need for conversation.

The moment Kevin's words come to an end.

pot.

Crumbling rumbling.

Kevin and Ares rushed towards each other..

* * *

flash.

A bright light struck my vision..

Kevin twisted his head to let Ares' attack go, and without hesitation, he cut Ares' chest..

Kaang!

The attack was blocked.

But Ares' expression was cold..

Kevin's previous attack clearly revealed his murderous intent, and there was no longer any sense of camaraderie between the two..

“You stupid bastard. If she was going to deal with me, she shouldn't have come alone..”

Kwaang!

Crumbling rumbling.

Kevin bounced back..

Ares' aura swirled intensely, and he immediately followed suit, attacking Kevin one after another..

6Every time the castle's aura caused a strong wave, Kevin's body shook..

No matter how much Kevin has grown by leaps and bounds, he, not even Chris, has yet to be able to face Ares' aura head-on..

Papapot.

The attack crossed..

After blocking a series of attacks, Kevin closed the distance so close that he could feel his opponent's breath..

Kaang!

Kakakakakakang!

Weapons were insanely tangled..

When Kevin tilted his head back, his bangs were cut off, and when he tried to counterattack right away, Ares did not take a single step back and instead hit him with force..

Even if he let go of the attack and aimed for a critical point, Ares's weaknesses were not revealed..

With his aura burning fiercely, Ares tore apart Kevin's aura..

Quad deud deud deuk..

overwhelming power.

Ares was one step ahead.

He also made tremendous progress through training with Roman Dmitry, and regardless of the difference in strength, he was able to dominate Kevin in swordsmanship..

A talent that was once called the best talent in Valhalla..

His years of accumulation came to full bloom when he met Roman Dmitry..

he was real.

The skills that overwhelmed Chris.

Ares' presence weighed down on Kevin, and he stepped on Kevin as he violently collided with him..

flash.

blood splattered.

It was only a shallow cut on my leg, but that was the start of the crack..

Crumbling.

Papapot.

Ares' attack was working little by little..

Kevin's pattern of narrowly avoiding attacks did not work, and Ares did not allow Kevin to attack even once, like taming a rabid dog..

It was a clear superiority in skill. It was a solid basic technique that perfectly blocked anomalous attacks, and at some point the atmosphere changed..

Kevin's recklessness was broken. As Ares blocked all attacks, Kevin had to deal with a quick counterattack..

Kwaang!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!

Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The aura exploded..

The Sura sword technique learned from Roman Dmitri was revealed, blocking the space where Kevin could escape..

Like Ares said, Kevin made a mistake..

If he really wanted to deal with Ares, he should have brought a friend with him to help him, rather than looking for Dmitri alone..

of course.

kevin was strong.

Even Ares, who was called a genius, was not this strong at Kevin's age..

But this is a battlefield.

No matter how promising the future was, it was a cruel world condemned to the shortcomings of the present..

Kaang-

My arm flew out..

Ares, who cornered Kevin, showed a cruel smile..

“It's over.”

flash.

I raised my sword and blocked it..

but.

My aura was completely torn away..

And at the same time, Kevin's chest was torn open and blood splattered everywhere..

* * *

Confrontation with Ares.

Ares too.

Kevin too.

The outcome of the confrontation was clearly known..

Kevin has so far faced off against Chris twice to take Dmitry's place as second-in-command..

When we fought in the beginning, we were defeated overwhelmingly even with Roman Dmitri's help, and when we challenged ourselves to take the sword that Roman Dmitri gave us, we were unable to overcome Chris' high wall even then..

Chris was strong.

As Kevin grew, so did he, and people said that Chris was better than Kevin..

and.

Ares defeated Chris like that.

Although simple calculations do not apply to battles on the battlefield, everyone agrees that Ares, who defeated Chris, is stronger than Kevin..

So Ares was wary of variables.

I thought Kevin might have brought some colleagues with him, but to his absurd surprise, he was really alone..

It was funny.

There was no reason to waste time.

With the sword cutting through Kevin's chest, Ares was confident that the fight had come to an end..

pot.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Kevin took a step back..

The eyes became deeper and colder, and blood was pouring down in clumps from the chest where the skin was tattered..

In fact, the game is over.

Ares once thought of Kevin as a colleague, but since their pursuits were different, he had no intention of giving him the sympathy of saving his life..

however.

“It's definitely strong.”

Kevin grinned and laughed..

The eyes were not normal.

Kevin lowered his posture like a wild animal and looked at Ares, not even paying attention to the wound..

“When I said I was going to chase you alone, other people were shocked and stopped me. Even if you really found Ares, would you be able to handle him alone? Ares, who even Chris couldn't defeat.”

The wound area was swollen.

At some point, the dripping blood subsided, and the wounds began to tangle together..

It was a shocking sight.

Ordinary people were recovering from wounds that were not unusual even after death using only regenerative power..

“I agree with what they say. I challenged Chris twice, and lost miserably both times. by the way. In the end, the confrontations so far are just sparring. A fight of pure meaning, with no intention of risking one's life or harming the other's life. I don't think I'll be defeated by Chris, even on the battlefield..”

Chak.

grabbed the sword.

It was a strange atmosphere..

Ares, who was approaching Kevin, also stopped due to the dangerous atmosphere..

kevin said.

“I assure you Dealing with me on the battlefield would be a little different..”

That moment.

pot.

Crumbling rumbling.

Kevin once again rushed towards Ares..

* * *

It was fast.

Seeing Kevin's appearance in front of him in an instant, Ares faced his attack with a calm face..

‘face.’

Kevin's Pattern.

It was familiar to my eyes..

Ares immediately blocked Kevin's attack and slashed at the slightly exposed opening..

pot.

blood splattered on my arm.

Nevertheless, Kevin showed no special reaction..

I didn't groan in pain, but I didn't move back in agitation either..

Seeing the linked attack immediately unfold, Ares's eyes quickly rolled to identify the next attack..

‘right.’

hook.

Crumbling rumbling.

I turned my body to avoid the attack..

He cut Kevin's back as he attacked inward, and in response to the counterattack surging from below, he instead met Aura head-on and pressed down with force..

There was a huge shock..

Immediately after the strong waves swirled around, I saw Kevin quickly reaching the bottom and cut off his arms and legs..

Phuwak.

blood was splattered.

It worked..

I thought he would look shaken this time, but Kevin's eyes, stained with madness, remained unmoved..

‘Have you forgotten the pain in the madness?.’

It was certain.

Kevin was often shown to be tainted by madness on the battlefield, but at that time, he forgot the pain and displayed an aggressive attitude..

Movement like a wild animal that surpasses human limits.

Despite going beyond the typical framework and pushing himself like crazy, Ares was not caught up in the enemy's momentum..

Just because you don't save yourself doesn't mean you can reduce the overwhelming gap. Losing one's mind was actually an opportunity for Ares..

Crumbling rumbling.

Kevin rushed in..

a fleeting moment.

Ares' eyes changed..

‘It's over.’

flash.

I cut my arm.

This time it was deep.

Ares was a step faster, and the feeling of being cut deeply convinced me that this time, apart from the pain, something was wrong with my body..

Forgetting pain is just self-suggestion.

Just because a wound on the body is painless doesn't mean it really isn't there, so a cut of this magnitude had no choice but to put the brakes on Kevin..

however.

sudden.

Crumbling rumbling.

“……!”

I widened my eyes..

It was really a narrow difference..

Kevin tried to counterattack by swinging his sword upward as if it was nothing, and as soon as Ares dodged the attack, he cut the opponent's thigh..

But this time, Kevin's counterattack targeted a critical point..

He clearly had deep cuts on his arms and thighs, but his movements did not slow down one bit..

at that time.

Ares saw.

Kevin's arms and thighs.

The wounded area there was regenerating like the chest had recovered..

The intertwined wounds emitting acrid smoke went beyond common sense..

Stage of encroachment.

Completely immersed in madness.

Kevin's mind did what the madness told him to do, and he didn't care at all about the scars on his body..

With each attack, a wound appeared on his body. His blood was splattered and his skin cracked..

Kevin appeared drenched in blood, but did not slow down his speed towards Ares..

and finally.

pot.

My arm got cut.

flash.

A shallow cut was made on Ares' arm..

When Ares cut Kevin's side with a contorted expression in pain, Kevin actually stabbed Ares in the heart while the cut was so deep that his internal organs seemed to spill out..

The attack didn't work.

However, Ares's mana flow became entangled as he hurriedly dodged the bold attack, which was similar to Donggwijin's technique..

This.

It was a confrontation that was beyond common sense..

The sight of a blood-stained ghost chasing after him caused a crack in Ares' composure, which was like an impregnable castle..

‘If time continues like this, nothing can be done..’

Ares' Plan.

This is not a problem that will end with Kevin..

Since he had to be dealt with and King Dmitri had to be assassinated as well, Ares could not waste any more time here..

Kwarung.

Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

created an aura.

Kevin’s skills were recognized..

He showed the strength to push himself at such a young age, but he didn't think that would change the outcome of this match..

Kevin's anomaly is baffling to those unfamiliar with it..

But to Ares, his one-time teammate, Kevin's movements revealed a clear weakness..

papad.

Kevin dug in..

Bold and surprise attack.

The moment he met his maddened eyes, Ares' lips twitched..

“I admit you.”

expected.

that Kevin would boldly delve into.

I swung my sword accordingly..

If you cut off its head, no matter how monstrous its regenerative powers are, it will never be able to survive..

But at that moment.

Smirking.

Kevin laughed..

His eyes, which had been stained with madness, returned to their original form and looked directly at Ares..

3 stages of demonic magic.

It was an area of ​​control..

Kevin, who stepped into a new area, took a step back unlike before..

sudden.

Crumbling rumbling.

The attack missed..

Their gazes became intertwined in the air..

The moment Ares grits his teeth and tries to attack right away..

Kevin exploded with his power.

‘The first half of Cheonma Swordsmanship, 3 seconds style.’

The aura swirled..

Ares, who had a clear advantage in strength, was swept away by Kevin's attack this time..

Kwaang!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!

Crumble, rumble, rumble.

“Wow!”

A scream rang out..

Ares miraculously defended himself against the attack, but the Heavenly Demon's sword tore through Ares' aura and tore his body to shreds..

He was different from Kevin..

Because he did not have the unusual recovery power that Kevin had, he knelt down on the spot, his blood-stained hair fluttering..

“Ugh, ugh..”

I vomited blood.

It was an unbelievable situation..

When I decided to betray, I never once imagined losing to Kevin, let alone Roman Dmitry..

over his head.

I heard Kevin's voice..

“I told you so. Fighting at the risk of your life is a different story..”

Shut up.

grabbed my hair.

Ares' head was lifted weakly. When he raised his head and looked at Kevin, he saw that Kevin was covered in blood just like him..

It was amazing that he was still standing like that..

Ares wanted to attack Kevin with his trembling hands, but his body was no longer under control..

It was then.

Squeak.

Kevin poured a potion into Ares' face..

And then.

“Don't die so easily. Because you are my gift to the master who will soothe the souls of Dmitri who died in this war and who will surely return..”

Potion forcefully enters the esophagus.

Ares shivered..

This.

It was a tragic end that he could not have imagined..
