Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 239
—————————————
[ Tokyo War Project (6)]
Unsavory violence To prevent an incident in advance, the cheering seats were divided into two halves.
And now
the atmosphere on both sides of the cheering stands was completely different.
“Wow!”
“Kill me!”
While on one side there were huge cheers,
“…..”
“Please, please….”
On the other side, there was suffocating silence. Everyone was nervous and clenched their fists. Occasionally, someone would startle and scream.
Red Ranger was being single-handedly beaten by Musashi on the stage in front of everyone.
-Sigh!
The shoulder part of the combat suit was torn and blood splattered. Red stepped backwards.
Musashi chased after him and swung his sword again. The katana drew a silver trail.
Red dodged the attack. No, it definitely looked like he had avoided it.
-Phew!
This time, blood surged from my chest. If the wound had been a little deeper, it would have been fatal. Red gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
Chachaechaechaeng!
Sword and sword clashed and sparks flew. Musashi leisurely blocked the attack and then swung his katana sharply.
-Cow!
Red was pushed back five steps by a blow containing enormous magical power. Musashi, on the other hand, just stood there.
The moment the clear superiority and inferiority of power is revealed,
“Wow!”
Musashi took for granted the one-sided shouts poured at him without any emotion. He raised his katana and aimed it at Red.
“I can’t even warm up.”
“!!”
The moment Red thought something was flying, he instinctively threw himself to the side.
‘I definitely avoided it this time!’
I thought so, but
suddenly!
This time I got a cut on my thigh. Red rolled over and limped backwards.
Slurp…
The wounds on my body healed quickly. It was an effect of Red’s characteristic [Regeneration].
“You have an annoying ability.”
Musashi frowned and said. But soon he showed his teeth and smiled. It was the sadistic smile a boy would see when playing with insects.
“Would you like to see if it can regenerate if its head is cut?”
“…….”
The fight that followed was one-sided violence. A one-sided attack and defense, far from the fierce fight people expected.
Both the attacked and the wounded were red.
“It’s too much of a push…”
“If there’s that much of a difference…”
The people who came to cheer for Red looked more than embarrassed but also despaired.
For practical reasons, there were some people who couldn’t just watch that fight go by.
“Vice President. “Can we really win?”
Joo Sang-wook whispered to the person next to him with a nervous expression.
He wasn’t alone.
The members of Shinjuku Rangers were watching the fight with their fists clenched. Shin was biting his nails with an anxious expression, and Lily consoled him.
“Hmm…”
Genji also had a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face. The Prime Minister was dripping with cold sweat.
“Didn’t you say we would win? That’s why I accepted these conditions…” When
the Prime Minister looked at him with an expression that looked like he was about to cry, Genji and Joo Sang-wook simultaneously turned away from his gaze.
Joo Sang-wook used his averted gaze to glare at the mastermind who planned this incident.
In this situation, Daein was the only one who was still calm.
“Vice President!”
“why? “You’re still fighting well, right?”
The great man was leisurely watching the fight with his arms crossed.
Joo Sang-wook was dumbfounded.
“You fight well. To me, it looks like they are being pushed unilaterally, right?”
“I’m avoiding all fatal attacks. “His characteristic is regeneration, so he can recover from most wounds.”
Although he looked relaxed, Daein was actually watching the battle more calmly than anyone else. He muttered softly.
“It would be much more worth it if we just relaxed a little…”
Red was too intimidated by the value of his opponent’s name.
He also felt tremendous pressure because of the consequences that would occur if he lost.
The burden made my body heavy.
Because he taught Red personally, Daein realized that Red was not showing off his skills to his full potential.
But…
‘It’s not the time for me to step forward.’ Not yet.’
The great man crossed his arms and continued to watch. Joo Sang-wook seemed nervous and sighed next to him.
“Whew. “It would have been better if the vice president had been sent away…”
“Really. “As a Korean, how do I get out there?”
“You have a Japanese name, right? “Himura Kenshin.”
“If you get caught, you will suffer international embarrassment.”
“Fortunately, the. “You know that name is embarrassing.”
Joo Sang-wook also said this out of frustration. On the pitch, Red was still being defeated one-sidedly.
“Then, if the lord of Orochi had stepped forward….”
‘If Genji had stepped forward, we might have won.’
Musashi was quite strong, but Genji, who had learned martial arts from a great man, was also much stronger than before.
However, Daein chose the uncertain Red instead of the safe Genji.
“Then there is no point in attracting audiences like this.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
Daein looked at Joo Sang-wook as if he didn’t know that either.
“The battle between lords and lords ultimately seems to be a fight for land. To be honest, Lord Orochi doesn’t have a very clean image either.”
Among the four major tribes in Tokyo, Orochi exploited civilians the most.
If their lord had stepped forward, it would not have been possible to create a stage as passionate as it is now.
“But a new hero destroys Japan’s strongest superhuman? “Isn’t this a picture?”
The picture definitely comes out.
The Japanese government can protect its cause and appeal to its sense of justice.
But that only applies when you win.
“It looks like you lost. What does that mean now!”
On the pitch, Red was slowly being pushed into a corner. As the wounds accumulated, his movements became increasingly slower.
Musashi also seemed to have no intention of prolonging the fight any longer. He frowned nervously.
“What a rat.”
Fuwaaaaaaa!
As Musashi increased his magical energy to his full potential, the magical energy began to fluctuate around him.
“He’s good at avoiding cooking. “Please try to avoid this too.”
Tsutsutsutsu…!
A power of a different level than before. Joo Sang-wook’s expression became serious when he felt that.
“Vice President. This is really….”
“…….”
“Vice President?”
Joo Sang-wook looked to the side and widened his eyes.
The great man has disappeared.
No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t see him in the stands.
It disappeared like a mirage.
‘Where did it go? Did you run away first because you thought what you had planned would go wrong?’
I had a moment of doubt, but I knew it couldn’t be so.
The landlord is not a man who runs away at moments like this.
Rather…
“Huh? mister?”
Hearing Lily’s voice at that time, Joo Sang-wook followed the girl’s gaze and moved.
“No way….”
– Tsk!
Red was receiving Musashi’s attack.
***
“Ugh…!”
Red felt his strength growing weaker as time passed.
The opponent was overwhelming.
Power speed swordsmanship. There was nothing he could do better than Musashi.
Sigh!
The wounds gradually increased. The speed at which new wounds grew was much faster than the recovery with the [Regeneration] trait.
The red suit has been in tatters for a long time. The blood flowing from the body hid that fact a little.
Phew!
He staggered back with his shoulder pierced. Red looked at the approaching opponent with fearful eyes.
‘As expected, Japan is the strongest…’
It was a fight that couldn’t even be established from the beginning.
From the moment Musashi awakened, he was a being on a different level from others.
Just as the relationship between superhumans and civilians is not fair, superhumans and superhumans are also not fair.
They are given their respective characteristics upon awakening, and even if they have the same characteristics, the amount of power they can use from the beginning is different.
‘Differences in talent.’
Musashi was the one who had awakened the greatest power among them.
How could someone like him defeat Japan’s strongest superhuman just by learning a sword in less than a month?
“What a rat.”
Fuwaaaaaaa!
Musashi raises his magic power and prepares to attack. The sight before my eyes becomes blurry.
‘If I die here, we lose the war…’
But there is no way. The opponent attacks with an invisible sword.
Characteristic [Invisible Sword]
Musashi has one more invisible sword. Use it along with your sword skills.
The moment you think something is shaking in the air, if you don’t move immediately, your heart will be stabbed.
Phew!
I narrowly avoided it this time too. Instead of my heart, my side was torn apart.
“He’s good at avoiding cooking. “Please try to avoid this too.”
It’s the limit. It can no longer be avoided.
Above all, my inner strength was depleted. The black energy began to disappear and [playback] became noticeably slower.
If you allow the next attack, you will die 100%.
“I’m sorry everyone…”
Red muttered through gritted teeth.
[Come to your senses.]
“…Black?”
A voice I heard in my head. Red knew it was an electric sound. But I didn’t know where Black was.
Musashi runs from the front and swings his sword.
[Concentrate.]
Wow!
At that moment, the other person seemed strangely slow. My body is filled with energy. The sword moved on its own.
―Ugh!
Musashi steps down. It’s a perplexed expression. Red mutters absentmindedly.
“I blocked it….”
[Look. You can do it because you’re focused.]
“I didn’t do what I just did…”
[It comes again. Concentrate.]
Musashi rushed back. The momentum is more fierce than before. The opponent’s sword moves first and the invisible sword follows.
It was a desperate moment, but strangely I didn’t feel nervous.
Is it because of the electric sound of black?
[The invisible sword was ultimately created with magic. Don’t bother trying to see it with your eyes. I feel excited. You trained until you died, right?]
The thing I did the most while learning martial arts was feeling ‘ki’.
Black said that the opponent’s attack was just a type of ki.
This is advice I heard yesterday, but it seems fresh to me after experiencing it first-hand.
The unnatural flow of energy…
‘I can see it!’
It would be more accurate to say ‘I feel it.’ Red captured the exact point where the enemy’s attack was coming from.
And swung the sword.
The sword moved strangely quickly and accurately. It felt like someone was holding it together and swinging it around.
-Wow!
Musashi bounces again. His expression is more distorted than before.
Anger, shock and fear….
[That bastard. I was scared of you.]
The moment he heard those words from Black, a small smile appeared on Red’s lips.
[Do you think you can win?]
“…Yes.”
My whole body is overflowing with energy. Red went on the attack first for the first time.
My steps are light. The opponent hesitates and retreats. Speed up. The opponent is alert and raises his sword.
‘Slow.’
-Wow!
Musashi’s sword bounced into the air. Red continued to attack without stopping.
“…Wow!”
The direction of the cheers coming from the cheering stands changes.
In my head, the most appropriate herbal diet in this situation keeps coming to mind, and I hear Black’s advice in my ears.
How frantically did he swing his sword?
[Let’s finish now.]
Woooo!
The sword vibrated and began to cry. Red felt as if Black was holding his sword together.
Of course it would be an illusion. But that alone made it feel like we were fighting together.
“Haaaab!”
Red cheered up. In an instant, the space is compressed and it reaches Musashi, who is standing with a shocked expression.
This man is the strongest in Japan?
Not anymore.
“dare…!”
Musashi also grits his teeth and attacks with all his might. In an attack that was sharper than ever, not one but several [Invisible Swords] were ‘seen.’
Grumbling.
Blood pours from Musashi’s nose as he overdoes it.
It was an attack with all its might, but
Red easily destroyed it.
-Blah blah blah!
The [Invisible Sword] created by Musashi was completely shattered. Red, who broke the invisible sword, passed by Musashi as it was.
Suddenly!
The severed right arm fell to the floor. A scream broke out a few seconds later.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
That was the end of the fight.
