119 – meaningless
The ‘enemy’ in sight
With his gaze fixed on it, Joggs calmly took a stance.
She knew better than anyone else that her opponent was stronger than she was.
It was natural.
Not only in the trials so far, but in the position of having been fighting together all along, it was Joggs who had seen Are’s strength right in front of his eyes.
‘But… that doesn’t mean there is no chance of winning.’
In terms of simple combat power comparison, the possibility is slim.
However, when entering the realm of actual combat, it was unreasonable to compare only face-to-face combat power.
‘The scythe that Are is using right now… that can certainly exert great power against large Abyss, but there are definitely limits in human-to-human combat like this.’
The advantage of the scythe is that it can exert great power over a wide range.
However, if the opponent is a single human with a similar physique and at the same time has the power to compete with him, the scythe is not a very effective weapon.
On the other hand, in the case of Joggs, who possesses dual swords, in this situation, it could be said that he was in a more advantageous position in terms of weapons.
Of course, despite this, the difference in age in the basic specs could not be ignored, but even taking that into account, Joggs could never resign from this position, and he had to win.
no matter what number you use.
“Ah… Come to think of it.”
“yes?”
In the moment that followed, Joggs slightly changed his tone as if he had suddenly remembered something.
In response to her reaction, Are suddenly began to look suspicious.
and..
“Haa!”
“!”
The next moment, Joggs rushes toward Are with a sudden shout of spirit.
Areh felt a little embarrassed at the action of continuing the battle after talking to him, and at this moment, Joggs did not miss the gap that had arisen.

Joggs swung his two swords like the wind and approached Are in an instant.
and..
-Pak!
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Joggs’s attack was blocked with a dull sound while wrapped in protective gear.
The sword she wielded with all her might moved a great scythe to block it.
There was a slight risky feeling, but except for the timing, the defense posture was almost perfect.
At the same time, the feeling of hitting an immobile solid wall began to pass through Joggs’ hand.
Despite the surprise attack, Joggs’ attack seemed to be blocked by Are.
However, this situation was something Joggs had already expected.
In the first place, she already knew that an attack of this magnitude would not be able to pierce Are’s guard.
What matters is what happened next.
And it started to go the way Joggs expected.
“Kuh..”
“Haaa!”
Are, who slightly stiffened his expression and tried to pull his body back.
However, following her movements, Joggs quickly closed the distance again.
Immediately after that, Joggs quickly swung his sword again and continued the attack.
-grasp!
The attack that followed was also perfectly blocked, but at the same time, a deep smile began to form on Joggs’ lips.
‘Okay, I have an advantage at this distance!’
1:1 battle..
Also, the most important thing in using weapons was to adjust the distance of the attack and defense.
For those who use firearms, the greater the possible distance, the better, and for those who use weapons such as greatswords or scythes, the appropriate distance was enough to wield the weapon.
And in the case of a weapon such as a sword or a short dagger that Joggs was holding at this moment, the closer the distance was, the more he could gain an advantage in battle.
Of course, Aree was also aware of that fact, and because of this, she pulled herself away to increase the distance, but every time Joggs stuck to Arere’s side and continued to attack.
It was as if a beast of prey, once fed, was struggling not to miss it.
However, despite the disadvantage in terms of distance, Are continued to defend against Joggs’ attacks.
-Pak!
“Chit..”

Joggs is trying to break through Are’s defenses by relentlessly attacking in close proximity.
However, as time passed, she, who seemed to have won at the beginning, began to feel more and more nervous.
Obviously, at this distance, the opponent’s attack could be almost blocked, and using this, all you had to do was launch a one-sided offensive and break through the opponent’s guard.
However.. the problem was that the defense of Are, the last step, was showing no signs of breaking through.
It’s as if he’s been reading the movements of this side in advance. Are was blocking countless attacks so naturally, and even seemed to be getting more relaxed as time went on.
‘Why.. no way.. that there is such a difference in skill? No.. that can’t be the case. ‘

Joggs’s attack started to falter little by little in such an increasingly nervous mood.
That moment.
Aare’s voice began to ring in Joggs’ ears.
Although very quiet…
A voice that can be heard clearly at the same time.
“Slowly.. let’s stop kidding.”
“!…”
At the same time as he said that, Joggs’ attack came to a halt without his knowledge.
and..
-puck!
“Gagging!”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Joggs’s body began to be pushed back as it was by the intense pain that immediately followed.
Are, not missing the moment, kicked Joggs in the stomach.
Right after that, she pointed the scythe at Joggs, who was still lying on the floor.
“I’m sorry but… you can never beat me right now. Yoo Kwon-soon.”
Unusually for her, Are uses short words.
At this, Joggs… no, Kwon Soon’s face was filled with deep embarrassment, but soon he shouted in a voice full of anger as he tried to erase that emotion.
“Do not be ridiculous! The match starts now!”
With those words, Kwon Soon cut Aare’s scythe with the sword in his hand.
Then, she immediately tried to attack Are with her sword, but…
“Kuk!”
The next moment, she had no choice but to stop moving once more as Are’s scythe had entered her neck.
Are’s scythe with paint on it.
The moment this reached her, she was eliminated immediately, which meant defeat.
Recognizing the situation in which he had been held back in such a futile way… and that in succession, Kwon Soon’s face began to contain a dark expression of confusion,
Looking at Kwon Soon, Are said in a calm voice.
“Am I right? Now you can never beat me In that state… with that face.”
“!…”
With those words, Are looks at herself with compassionate eyes.
At the same time… Kwon Soon was straight up beheaded by the fact he tried to ignore…
Automatically, I started to recognize that my whole body was losing strength all the time.
*
A battle with Are.
From the moment he thought he had a chance to win, Kwon Soon’s head automatically began to picture the next future.
Are, whose defense is eventually breached by her own attack and collapsed, and herself with a victorious smile.
The taste of victory, which I have always wanted, will surely not be too sweet.
And the next… the next…
“… .”
The scene that followed…
It’s… leaving behind the victorious self.
The man who comforts Are who is brooding over the pain of defeat…
Lee Jin-hyun’s appearance.
As soon as he recalled what was so obvious, Kwon Soon finally came to recognize it.
At this moment… this is what she’s doing…
Such a pitiful, foolish battle of pride…
Really.. the fact that it didn’t mean anything.
Recognizing this, Kwon Soon, who was frantically swinging his sword while looking only for victory, began to quickly turn on a deep and dark sense of futility…
it’s like this…
It ended in a disappointing defeat.
