I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 51



Only Noblemtl

051.

“I’ll give you a brief recap.”

Anatole didn’t bother to add that it seemed like it would be over soon.

Even if he hadn’t done that, it would soon turn out just as he expected.

hook-

Beyond’s chain attack fired with restraint.

A double strike where you rush in and thrust right after it.

This is the moment when the strengths of the zodiac chosen by Beyond are revealed.

A good combo attack that forces the opponent to go beyond the easy choice and make a three-way choice.

But that was when the opponent tried to fight back.

fault!

It is clear that when dealing with Hawken or Wolfgang, Lee Do-hyeok actively jumps towards his opponents.

Needless to say, he showed a play style that was focused on attacking.

What the heck is going on now?

Taat!

Cesare, the sword dancer of Lee Do-hyeok who distances himself with backdash.

As the name dancer suggests, the movements are quick.

Because of that, Beyond’s defensive attack cuts through the air in vain.

The following double strike is the same.

A brief moment of stiffness like that.

Phew-!

A lightning-like stab that takes advantage of the gap.

Beyond quickly raised his guard.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late to respond.

But at that moment, the trajectory of the sword changed.

Swish-!

The tip of Lee Do-hyeok’s sword stabbed Beyond’s shoulder.

[Beyond]

■ ■ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

Originally, if it was Lee Do-hyeok, as Anatol had known so far, he would have aimed for an additional attack here, targeting the opponent’s weak point.

With the mindset of avoiding my attacks and only targeting my attacks, he would have tried to close the distance and engage in close combat.

Taat!

But this time, Lee Do-hyuk quietly hits him once and then runs away.

-lol

-If this keeps up, I’m going to get stabbed in the butt and die.

-F*ck lol I’m so pissed

“······”

Anatole’s expression changed once again.

As I look at it, one thought comes to mind.

A playstyle that is so annoying that viewers are reacting in the same way as they are now.

‘Haven’t I seen it somewhere?’

It was quite familiar to Anatol.

Isn’t that the playstyle that the girl in black had at the time, who had won the ‘World Championship Quarterfinals Almost Beat Anatol’ award, that he knew very well… that he couldn’t help but know well?

The sorcery that made the Black Girl of that time be called ‘that loser’ instead of ‘Black Girl’.

‘no way..’

Anatol, who had a curious thought, immediately opened the friend window and checked Lee Do-hyeok’s match history.

And just in case, it always turns out to be the same.

[Humgeujeongdunga] (Win) vs (Loss) [Black Girl]

I was wondering why he suddenly brought out Cesare, which he had never used before.

Have you been ‘Beyond’ed too, Black Girl···

Anatole closed his eyes for a moment.

A brief moment of mourning.

And how much time passed?

Shh shh shh-

Shush- shush shush-!

With the sound of continued stabbing being heard.

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □

[Beyond]

■ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

Before we knew it, the game was drawing to a close.

Now, if you allow even one Beyond, you will be KO’d.

To prevent that, we’ll need a blow that will turn the situation around.

-f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-There is no room to approach.

-Why are you so good at swordsmanship?

Beyond, rather than putting restraint and cut-off damage on his opponent, was taking the hit in return.

Beyond must have had similar thoughts to Anatole.

That must be why you brought the zodiac.

“Um… uh… um… so..”

Anatole opened and closed his mouth repeatedly as he watched it.

How should I express the current situation?

“I’m crying.”

At that moment, a word came to mind.

-Ugh lol

-??? : Hyung.. Don’t cry and save me..

-Save Yondu lol

That’s right.

The current situation is one that makes me feel like crying.

-It’s making me cry ㅋㅋㅋ How did Beyond become such a variety character ㅋㅋㅋㅋ-Ahh.. Just an ordinary person..

-lol

Anatol looked at the chat window.

Beyond’s situation is so miserable that I feel like crying…

The viewers seemed to take it that way, but that’s not what Anatole meant.

“hmm.”

‘Not because of that.’

I’m crying because it’s my turn next.

This time too, Anatole swallowed those words with great effort.

**

[victory!]

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □

[Beyond]

□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

-Still, you avoided that defeat. Let’s have a drink.

-Really lol

– Dohyuk sensei is also really bad ㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah haha, you learned it from ‘that worthless’ swordsman

– Information) The girl in black barely managed to reduce Dohyuk Sensei’s blood level by one even with her poor skills.

[“There’s only one step left.”]

The sound coming from Lee Do-hyuk’s broadcast that was still on.

The ranking display above Lee Do-hyeok’s account has changed due to the recent victory.

RanK #2

[Hmm, is that right?]

And the current time is also 8 PM, as Anatole had announced.

[“Oh, Anatol, you’re here? Hello.”]

It’s probably not a coincidence that you see yourself mentioned in the chat window.

[“Then let’s go to the next queue. It would be fun to meet Anatol.”]

Bb-

[Ranked Game]

[Find Daejeon]

Anatole went to the Daejeon search page.

Anatole also knows what that means.

It means that I will turn the cue, so turn it accordingly.

Fortunately, the good news is that there will be no other celestial beings trying to snipe without notice at a moment like this.

Bb-

[MATCH!]

As expected.

As expected, a match is made within a few seconds.

Anatole, who had confirmed his opponent, turned off the broadcast he was watching.

[“energy-

“]

“-I’ve arrived, Anatole.”

The other person who said that smiled faintly.

[Hmm, is that right?].. No, Lee Do-hyuk.

He appeared before my eyes.

“Yes. I’ve been waiting for you, Dohyuk.”

Anatole also opened his mouth to meet him.

His expression wasn’t all that bright.

There was no other way.

A mixture of emotions such as chills, tremors, tension, anticipation, and competitive spirit run up my spine.

It was a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time.

‘Can we win?’

Honestly, I don’t think it will be difficult.

Maybe it’s best for him not to lose so ugly.

Bb-

With that thought in mind, Anatole picked Lancer.

It was at that time.

“Wow, the skin is cool?”

I chose something I didn’t choose last time without much thought this time.

What Lee Do-hyuk said after seeing that.

Anatole answered without thinking.

“Ah. This? Did you choose it well? This is a custom skin that I designed myself.”

“Is this a custom skin?”

“Yes. If I win the world championship···”

Anatole paused.

“I’m making it for you···.”

Now that I think about it, I have several skins like this.

It was Anatole who suddenly had such an idea.

When I think about the number of skins, or the number of world championship trophies he has lifted, I feel ridiculous about myself now.

Even just looking at Lancer alone, he has three world championship skins.

The one I’m wearing now is the first of them.

“Haha.”

At that moment, Anatol felt a smile escape his lips without him knowing it.

It was a laugh that bordered on hilarity.

What a stupid thought I just had.

What did you say?

Do you think you can win, won’t it be difficult?

“flaw.”

I laugh again.

A self-mocking laugh mixed with the same laughter as before.

It was because I was so pathetic.

‘multiplication?’

Now that I think about it, what’s so important about that?

There’s something more important than that.

[Current viewers: 33,425]

As previously announced, more than 30,000 viewers have already tuned in to Anatol’s broadcast.

A lot of them would be fans of not only his but also of this game called Ultimate Fighter.

And why would they come to see Anatole?

“If I win now, will I be number one?”

He’s Anatole, clearly the pinnacle of ultimate fighters.

“Yes, I think so.”

“Hmm. Then···”

in other words···

The challenger was not himself, but his opponent.

“I will block that road.”

-Kyaaaaaaaa

-Dae Hwang Tol!!!!

-‘His declaration’ ㄷㄷ

A declaration made in front of over 30,000 viewers.

It might be a problem.

But I won’t support it.

Right now, I feel like I can win at the Iron Fist World Championships, anywhere, and whoever I’m up against.

First, erase everything.

Chills, tremors, tension, anticipation, competitive spirit, etc.

Anatole cleared all his emotions and focused extremely hard.

“All paths of the Ultimate Fighter···”

“···oh?”

Lee Do-hyuk expresses his surprise at that comment.

-no way?

-Is that coming?

-dgggg

The chat window also shakes.

“..It eventually gets through to me.”

With those words, Anatole completed his preparations.

[Ready]

Anatol suddenly remembered his first meeting with Lee Do-hyuk.

Since it was a sub-character back then, isn’t it time for a proper first introduction this time?

closely-

Anatole, who was holding the spear handle, stretched his other hand forward.

“Come, Mr. Challenger.”

Knock-knock-

Anatole said so and gestured to Lee Do-hyuk.

First, my mindset is different now than it was back then.

There was not the slightest movement on Anatol’s face now.

The mind of the clear mind.

It’s as if I’ve reached some kind of realization.

-That’s right, Kingjik

-Pyapyaya

-I’m drunk on the Godnatol mulberry! I’m drunk!

-I like Anatole for this taste

A showdown between a lancer and a sword dancer.

Due to the Sword Dancer’s characteristically nimble movements, he doesn’t have much of an advantage in range compared to Hawken or Wolfgang, but if we look at the compatibility, Lancer has a slight advantage.

In fact, Anatol holds a lancer and his record against the sword dancer and Harang is legendary…

“Good.”

That was the moment.

[Ready-]

A notification will pop up saying that both are ready.

Up to this point, it was a natural procedure, but what he saw before his eyes was…

“From the challenger’s perspective,”

[3]

A loud and clear window.

“I’ll learn a thing or two.”

A basic Lancer skin with a calm and cool feel, in contrast to Anatole’s flashy one.

[2]

“······?”

Anatole’s face twitched when he saw that.

The mind of the clear mind?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-No, what the fuck, lol

-You’re still being fooled after seeing this pattern, Natol-ah? LOL

-Lightning… cut it off…

There was no way this could continue any longer.

“Hey, you···”

With just those words.

[1··· Fight-!]

The game has begun.

**

‘That’s fun.’

Shh.

Lee Do-hyuk’s smile deepened.

‘If you’re called, you have to go.’

I have no intention of giving up.

I don’t even think it’s arrogant.

I guess he’s right.

In Ultimate Fighter, the challenger was none other than himself.

hook-!

Lee Do-hyeok stretched out his arms mercilessly.

A single spear that traces a straight trajectory.

Kakang!

The windows clashed with each other, making a creaking sound.

At the moment when Lee Do-hyeok was about to attack again.

“···?!”

The red aura on the opponent’s window blurs your vision.

An unexpected counterattack.

Kakang!

Lee Do-hyeok quickly raised his spear and kicked away the blade of the enemy’s spear that was rushing towards him.

It must have been an angle that clearly made a counterattack impossible.

It’s probably a technique that utilizes the game system.

It’s also something I didn’t use when I fought Anatol’s lancer last time.

Kang! Chaeng! Chaeng!

And the following combo attack.

Lee Do-hyeok could tell that this was a combination technique that Anatole had been practicing for the past few days.

-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

-Is Anatol also ‘Beyond’?

-Wow, but if you’re seeing this for the first time, how do you stop it?

-Oh, you can see everything?

-God’s eyes tt

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋSlowly, Anatole, who was shaking his hand earlier, started laughing. Some quick-witted viewers who saw that started laughing.

It was expected that Anatole would suffer the same thing, just as Beyond suffered first, and then the Black Girl.

“······”

But Lee Do-hyeok thought differently.

‘The joke is…’

I guess I’ll just be careful this time.

I did play around a bit when picking my characters, but that was about it.

A little while ago, didn’t Lee Do-hyuk clearly feel it?

The sincerity of a man named Anatole, who stands at the top of a game.

‘then.’

It would also be right to treat him with sincerity.

A little different from before.

Each character is an ultimate fighter boasting superhuman specs.

Utilizing that maximum output.

As if dealing with a ‘real’ enemy.

Taat!

Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng!

Lee Do-hyeok’s window moved dizzyingly.

The speed increases.

Of course, it’s not really faster.

It just seemed that way from Anatole’s perspective.

“······!”

Anatole’s eyes opened wide for a moment.

Oh my!

Then a heavy sound erupted right in front of him.

A blow from an opponent that was barely blocked by relying on one’s senses.

Luck must have been on his side too.

Even though I blocked it directly, I still have a strange feeling about how I was able to block it.

I couldn’t see it. Why?

Such questions follow.

The physical specs of your opponent’s Lancer and your own Lancer are the same.

Then why wasn’t it visible?

Anatole was able to guess the reason, albeit belatedly.

hook-

The movement of the window changes from moment to moment.

Anatole knows how to do something similar to that.

The so-called falsehood.

No, it wasn’t. I wonder if it’s similar.

Splitting the beat, using the beat to dazzle the opponent, using a fake to grab their attention, aiming for a blind spot, and taking advantage of that gap to apply only your own techniques to the opponent.

These are the methods Anatole often used to deceive his opponents.

But what the other person is showing is…

Chaeng! Kwaang!

I don’t know.

I just can’t understand it.

At the same time, I had this thought.

Maybe not only that, but everyone really didn’t know who Lee Do-hyuk was.

Monster talent, crazy physique, genius on top of genius, etc.

Words used in the Ulpa community to praise Lee Do-hyeok.

But, with just those things······

Boom!

-?

-?

-???

-?

-Huh?

-What’s up?

It didn’t take long for the winner to be decided.
