I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 64

064.

It’s cold.

[-Wow, awesome! I can see this intuitively]

[-Anatol will win, of course?]

A knife flies into his chest through his voice and gets stuck.

But don’t worry.

[-Sister, but did that person also use Iron Fist? I saw that! The clip where Chu killed his brother!]

[-Um.. maybe it hasn’t been that long since you started?]

Because my Iron Fist experience is more than Dohyuk’s.

It’s only been three days since Dohyuk started Iron Fist.

It hasn’t been that long since I turned on the broadcast today, so I’ve only played for two days.

In contrast, my Iron Fist experience is tens, hundreds of times greater!

I may still have the upper hand!

At that moment, when Anatole was calming his heavy heart with such thoughts…

[-Huh? The winning percentage is 100%?!]

‘···?’

Anatole’s eyes caught Lee Do-hyeok’s record in the words of Dico.

[61 wins 0 losses]

What mattered wasn’t the winning percentage.

‘No, f*ck···’

61 battles?

How many rounds did that guy play in two days?

**

Bb-

Since he was told that he would reveal the combos of the Brain God characters, Anatol had no choice but to pick a Brain God character.

The character he picked was Seishu, the face of Iron Fist, the first protagonist, and the symbol of the Brain God School.

“Oh, Anatol, your brain is a bit different, isn’t it?”

Looking at that, Lee Do-hyeok said.

A brain god-type character that is the main character of many Iron Fist users.

That’s why Lee Do-hyuk, who had been playing Iron Fist up until now, had met countless brainwashing characters.

But was there a satisfactory partner among them? That was a bit ambiguous.

‘Up until a certain level, there were a lot of guys who couldn’t even use a single combo properly, and above that, even if they knew how to use combos, there weren’t any guys who could use them well.’

Except for the Devil King user I met on the first day, they were all just using the Thunderbolt combo followed by the Brain God Step.

Well, there were some variations there, but for Lee Do-hyuk, they were changes that had no great meaning.

In the end, it was easy to deal with because the essence was the same.

This tendency became more severe as the rank increased.

But it would be different with Anatol, of course.

-ㅇㅇ Seishu Natolham main character

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋThe knife sniper was successful

-Wow, you’re good at sniping too.

“Oh, sniping? It’s not sniping, it’s content participation.”

Lee Do-hyeok said that after glancing at the chat window.

“Anatol, this is an educational broadcast for the streamers participating in the competition. Since I am also a streamer participating in the competition, isn’t it the same as Anatol inviting me? Right, Anatol?”

-aha

-Miracle logic ㄷㄷ

-ㅋㅋㅋIs this also a Viking-style argument?

-No, it’s Lee Do-hyeok style

“No, what is that···”

Anatol’s reaction after hearing Lee Do-hyeok’s words.

He continued speaking to Lee Do-hyeok while pressing his head with one hand.

“I wasn’t talking about Dohyuk, I was talking about other people. Phew, I wasn’t telling you to shoot Dohyuk···”

“Oh, there are other people here now. Hello. I’m a new streamer, Lee Do-hyuk.”

-Ugh lol

-ignore

– Isn’t this person only listening to what he wants to hear?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[-Huh? Hello! I’m streamer Remi-chan!]

[-Can you hear what we’re saying? My name is Byeoljandi!]

“···wait a minute.”

Bb-

Anatole manipulated the settings.

First, I sent a friend request to Lee Do-hyeok’s account, and when he accepted, I invited him to be my spectator voice.

It didn’t take that long.

“Ah, ah. Can you hear me?”

[-Yes, I can hear you!]

[-Wow, hello! I played a game with Ji-an a few days ago.]

“Hehehe, with Gian? You must have had a hard time.”

[-Ah, that’s right. No, I’m telling you, this is the first time I’ve seen someone who’s so bad at overcooking.]

“If it’s overcooking, is it a cooking game? Hmm, Ji-an is cooking… Oh my… Just imagining it…”

[-That’s right, the game was fun because it was a game, but… I told you that I failed ten times.]

[-Overcooking, I’ll join you too! Oh, Mr. Dohyuk, are you good at cooking?]

Lee Do-hyuk greeting other streamers after being invited to Voice.

The conversation continues when one of the streamers says he knows Gian.

-What is this popular behavior!

-You talk to people you just met like this?

-ㅡㅡ

-Friendly Evande;;

-Is this…the life of a handsome man…?

Then, the viewers got angry when they saw that.

Of course, viewers will always want Lee Do-hyuk to do well and have fun and enjoyable broadcasts since he is their favorite streamer…

Tiring-

[‘Honey Osori’ donated 10,000 won.]

-I didn’t want you to be this happy…

[‘Ajeoksohwakhaeng’ donated 5,000 won.]

-Mr. Lee Do-hyeok… Was he this kind of person..?

I didn’t mean for you to be this happy!

These were viewers who chatted with one mind and one purpose.

-I’m so pissed..

-Was conversation with people originally that easy?

-ssbss

-Use it

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋThe chat window is so funny

-Sigh.. What the f*ck, you don’t play games?

“······”

And, there was one person who wasn’t a viewer, but had similar thoughts to the viewers.

“I only cook the basics? But I’m a survival cook, so I value nutrition over taste. What I’m best at is… grilling? I often eat it raw without cooking.]

[-Ah, you like healthy food!]

[-I like raw fish too. There’s a really delicious puffer fish restaurant near my house. In the winter, there’s a really long line in front of that restaurant, and I’m really close with the owner···]

Why… am I getting more and more excited?

“Phew.”

Anatole let out a long breath.

Getting excited is… yeah, it’s like a sense of pride.

Because the defeat at the last Ulpa was so disappointing, I feel a sense of victory when I see Lee Do-hyeok.

And haven’t you also made tremendous progress since then?

I think it’s probably because he wants to show that to Lee Do-hyeok.

‘Yeah, that’s true.’

Besides, if he continues to win at the upcoming EVO tournaments, he will eventually face Lee Do-hyeok or Kwabna.

Now, during this rehearsal, I just want to beat Lee Do-hyuk.

There is absolutely no other emotion, not even a single bit of it.

Kwak-

Just do your best to destroy your opponent.

That was it.

Anatole took up his position with that thought in mind.

“Ah, I’ll go and play with Anatol.”

[-Yes! Fighting! Fighting to you too, Anatol!]

[-Good luck to both of you!]

“···Yes, thank you.”

Ugh-

For some reason, I keep clenching my teeth.

Bb-

The character that Lee Do-hyeok chose to face Anatole was…

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThis here

-Ugh lol

-Is this correct?

-Succession to the throne meta ㄷㄷ

Ryu, the son of Seishu, chosen by Anatole in the game’s settings.

It was a character that used the same brain power.

**

Bam! Pavabat!

The last match with Lee Do-hyeok.

It wasn’t until Anatole watched the replay dozens of times that he realized something.

That was because the false pretenses of Lee Do-hyeok that had dazzled his eyes countless times at the time were not, in fact, false pretenses.

From the beginning, Lee Do-hyeok’s attack was not calculated to deceive his opponent from the beginning.

Rather, it was closer to changing movements every moment and looking for an opening.

What if Anatole hadn’t reacted properly to the movement from the beginning?

It wouldn’t end with a bang, but Lee Do-hyeok’s spear would have hit Anatol right away.

All of that was not empty, but real, and at the same time empty.

Of course, I still don’t understand how such a miracle was possible.

But even though I didn’t understand it, there was one thing I realized.

‘You need to change your playing style.’

If we were to briefly summarize Anatol’s play style since his Ultimate Fighter days, it would be ‘calculation + instinct’.

Anatol, who was at the peak of the idiot gamers in both fields.

That’s why he was able to become the world’s best by sometimes predicting his opponent’s plays through calculations and sometimes blocking them through instinct.

In that way, Anatole was able to become the world’s strongest in Ulpa.

But what next?

Could the next step also proceed in that manner?

‘You shouldn’t do that.’

Until now, I thought it would be possible.

But when I saw Kwabna the year before last, and through the match with Lee Do-hyeok a few days ago, what I finally realized was that… there are people in this world who don’t get this ‘calculation’.

To deal with such people, he needed to boldly abandon one of his playing styles.

Rather than calculating the opponent’s play…

‘I have to trust my feelings.’

An instinctive sense that has been cultivated and cultivated for a long time.

Anatole was also confident about that.

Bam!

Just like right now!

Lee Do-hyeok’s fist blocked by raising his guard.

Anatole just turned his body around.

A sharp elbow aimed at Lee Do-hyeok.

hook-

Lee Do-hyuk is putting some distance behind him.

Anatol’s attacks did not end there.

His body swayed like a squeak.

He quickly catches up with the brain god step and extends his fist.

An extreme lightning strike that extends while aiming to stop the opponent.

But… it won’t work.

A thought crossed Anatole’s mind for a moment.

then···

Pot-!

After canceling, go to Brain Dragon Pavilion.

Anatol’s legs quickly stretched out, aiming for Lee Do-hyeok’s lower body.

‘..now!’

Then, before reaching the target, it changes its trajectory.

It wasn’t calculated.

An instinctive attack that relies on the senses.

Bam!

Lee Do-hyeok raised his guard to block it, but that was all.

So the flow has passed to him.

Anatole took another step and continued the chain of attacks.

Tried to hit with a Shoryuken…but ended up with a Hadoken.

Continue the attack with a short strike, then cancel and this time use the ultimate lightning strike.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Once, twice… dozens of times.

The battles intersect at a very fast pace.

The blow extends, the trajectory changes, the body twists, retreats, and then forward again.

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □

[Anatol]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □

In the continued close combat, both sides’ blood is drained.

But the one who lost more blood is Lee Do-hyuk.

Anatole was making a profit in the workshop.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

How many more seconds did the battle last like that?

We fell apart once –

“···Put your pressure down!”

Pfft!

Anatole threw himself forward again with a shout, as if he would not allow even a moment of rest.

This was also not an action taken through calculation.

Anatole in a state of peak concentration.

For a while now, he has been concentrating only on one thing, without even thinking about anything.

When I meet Buddha, I kill Buddha. When I meet a patriarch, I kill the patriarch. When I meet Lee Do-hyeok, I kill Lee Do-hyeok!

Exactly that idea!

That was the only thought from the beginning.

This is the true path of asura.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Of course, it is not a random attack.

It’s true that Anatole in Iron Fist isn’t the strongest in the world, but he’s a top-tier expert.

Even in the fighting games of the Great War, his experience is several times superior to that of Kwabna and Lee Do-hyuk.

Even though it wasn’t calculated and extended, all kinds of combos were extended, retrieved, aimed at the opponent again, twisted, and grabbed. All kinds of techniques of the fighting ‘game’ that could be called divine techniques rather than being considered miscellaneous techniques poured out from Anatol’s hands and feet.

Pot! Papat!

Anatole’s heightened concentration was what took him to the next level.

‘Here it is, bottom, then again… top!’

Hook-! Pot, bang!

The workshops intersect, intersect again, and intersect again!

A feeling of something being caught but not quite there yet.

To resolve this, Anatol spared no expense, even deploying the things he had been saving to use at the EVO competition.

He unknowingly unleashes a series of attacks as his senses lead him.

From Ultimate Fighter to the current Iron Fist.

The essence of a fighting game genius who has fought endlessly against countless competitors.

It was Anatole who was spewing it all out.

‘I can see it all!’

But I have no regrets.

Thanks to that, Anatol was now blocking all of Lee Do-hyeok’s attacks.

Lee Do-hyuk’s attack is so clear that it seems like you can almost touch it!

Is it because my concentration was at its peak?

It seemed as if his senses were beginning to read his opponent’s movements.

‘hmm.’

Well… it couldn’t be helped.

‘Is this the first time you’ve seen this? Oh, if you twist it like this here…’

Bang! Dismissal-!

‘So this is what the movement was like.’

The combo that Lee Do-hyeok is using is the same one that Anatole used a few minutes ago.

Since I had just shown off my own body, it was inevitable that my movements would be read.

“Ugh, ugh. Ugh, I’m still dizzy.”

“That’s why···”

Remi-chan and Byeoljandi.

Two streamers who were watching the game from Anatol’s perspective, but couldn’t last even a minute before changing perspective modes.

They were still grimacing and talking as if they were dizzy.

“Wow, this is really awesome.”

“Is this a fight between the strongest players in that world?”

In fact, it was nearly impossible to properly understand the current war at the level of those two.

Although the two were users who were somewhat knowledgeable about Iron Fist to the point of being invited to the Iron Fist streamer competition, that was only by the standards of Yegames, and they were not true fighting game experts.

Rather, they were closer to young stars who had to listen to the viewers’ advice every day, and when they turned off the broadcast, they had to hear their older brothers and younger brothers monitoring them say, “That’s not how you do it…” every day.

“But you really teach well.”

But there was one thing they could know.

Bam, bam!

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □

[Anatol]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □

Before they knew it, the two had the same HP.

Looking at them from a third-person perspective, I was able to understand it naturally.

Anatol himself may not have known, but…

“Wow, but how on earth do you do that?”

“That’s right. I guess it’s because they were taught and learned well, right?”

In their eyes, this was a truly great ‘educational’ broadcast.

Isn’t this possible because both the teacher and the student are great?

Bam! Bam!

When Anatole’s hands and feet unleash a terrifying combo –

Bam! Bam!

Something similar unfolds through Lee Do-hyeok’s hands and feet.

Of course, I didn’t follow it right away, but after a few seconds.

However, before the timing was right for the situation, Lee Do-hyuk chose one of the things Anatole had done and did it again.

This is the true meaning of education!

You learn without even knowing it!

-Ahhh… Oh my…

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah, f*ck, Pongtoli hyung!

-Anatol, but you’re really good at hitting?

-Yeah but the problem is that Dohyuk sensei hits better

-This GOAT gives generously···

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋfuckㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I’m on Anatol’s sideㅠㅠ
