I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 72

There are some revised parts in the first half of episode 71.

Those who haven’t seen it, please check it out.

072.

Paat-

“Huh, what is it? Why did you call me?”

Beyond said as he entered the room.

Beyond had just come from a scrimmage with another team.

Anatole kept calling him, saying there was something he absolutely had to see, so he accepted the invitation.

“Twitch Rivals? What is this… Oh, that competition that Dohyuk is participating in?”

“huh.”

“What’s there to see here? Isn’t Dohyuk going to win anyway? Or did your rookies participate too?”

You called me saying it was urgent, but what you actually showed me was Twerk Rivals.

Beyond grumbled.

He also knew about this competition.

I also know that Lee Do-hyuk is participating.

And in fact, that’s why I’ve been spending every waking moment these days training.

Anyway, Lee Do-hyeok will win, so isn’t there a chance that we’ll meet him as an opponent at EVO?

At that time, Beyond didn’t know if he could repay him for what he had suffered… but he still wanted to give him a proper blow.

‘Last time I saw you, Iron Fist was really good at it.’

He secretly sniped with a sub-character that no one knew was his.

As soon as the game was over, Lee Do-hyeok recognized him.

He seemed certain that he was Beyond, and told me not to lie no matter how much I denied it.

I tried to hide it, but I don’t know how it was possible.

Even Beyond’s fight with Lee Do-hyuk was not as Iron Fist but as Ultimate Fighter.

‘You probably already know my fighting style just because you’ve fought me a few times.’

Even if Lee Do-hyeok is a monster, that’s impossible······

‘..you will do it? I..will do that?’

I don’t know.

Now that I think about it, it seems like it might be possible if it’s ‘that’ Lee Do-hyuk.

Bb-

At that moment, Anatole manipulated something and enlarged the screen.

Then he pointed somewhere as if telling Beyond to take a look.

“Why. Was there something unusual? It couldn’t have been Dohyuk. Storm’s Calm, Loki, Zhao Rong… The other guys were all just ordinary guys.”

“Look at the other side instead of there.”

“Oppose… Oh. What is it? When did that Geom-hee come out again? She’s so annoying. That’s why I told you to change the event a long time ago. You even beat Shinjiro. Oh. Then in the finals… Huh?”

Beyond’s eyes flinched as he looked at the left side of the bracket at Anatol’s words.

Geomhee beats Shinjiro, and then a man named Lin beats Geomhee, and then Lin wins in the semi-finals and advances to the finals.

“There was a monster at the competition.”

A monster appeared.

It was such an obvious statement.

Right now, isn’t that the competition that ‘that’ Lee Do-hyeok went to?

But I don’t think he called me just to say such an obvious thing.

‘no way···’

As far as Beyond knows, originally, the only person Anatol called a monster was Kwabna.

Beyond, I totally agree with that statement.

Beyond has also faced Kwabna several times.

But recently, there was someone else Anatole called a monster.

This is Lee Do-hyuk.

‘Brother Anatol said that Dohyuk was definitely better than Kwabna, but···’

As for Beyond, I still don’t know much about it.

To be exact, my stance is that it is still too early to give a definitive answer.

Of course, it is true that Beyond was ‘Beyond’ by Lee Do-hyuk.

Every time we met, I continued to feel helpless.

But even so, I don’t think he is unconditionally superior to Kwabna because Kwabna is no pushover either.

As Anatol put it, Kwabna was a true monster, possessing insane skills.

Even that crazy talent that gets better with each passing moment

‘If Dohyuk had started Iron Fist at the same time as Kwabna, it would have been a different story.’

But that’s an if.

At this point, I don’t think we can guarantee the outcome until the two of them face off.

Well, Anatol may have his own reasons for being so confident.

anyway.

“monster?”

I don’t think you said that to Lee Do-hyeok.

It’s not like Kwabna came all the way from Korea, China, and Japan to attend a streamer competition.

I was wondering who Anatole was talking about.

Chae, chae chae chae-!

The finals of Twitch Rivals, where the winner is decided by a best-of-three match.

How long has it been since the first game started?

Beyond could understand who Anatole was talking about and why he chose the word monster.

Chae-Ang!

Sword versus sword.

Anatole and Beyond were once considered the two most talented people in the world.

however···

“···”

What the fuck.

Beyond swallowed the curse and spoke softly.

“Talented people… they suck.”

Anatole also nodded.

**

Chae-Ang!

Lee Do-hyeok easily deflected his opponent’s sword strike.

The first sum, the second sum, and the next sum.

Chaeng! Chaeng!

‘..Huh?’

Lee Do-hyeok was able to immediately figure out his opponent’s intentions as soon as they exchanged a few punches.

A kind of expedition.

Lin was now examining Lee Do-hyeok’s sword.

Shhhhhhhhh!

Wow!

No, it wasn’t.

A sword strike that was fired in an instant after pretending to be a search.

Of course, that was also what Lee Do-hyuk expected.

A bright spark signaled a successful parry.

Lin’s mouth snapped shut at that sight and then opened it again.

Shhh-

Lee Do-hyuk smiled faintly when he saw that.

It was the same this time of year.

It’s like a habit that Lin has when there’s something she doesn’t like.

hook-!

This time, Lee Do-hyeok stabbed first.

Then, at that moment, Lee Do-hyeok’s sword twists and rises upward.

Chae-Ang!

Lin’s blade easily blocks it.

‘surely···’

A swordsmanship similar to Kenshin’s that we met last time.

One, it’s definitely different.

That Kenshin who lost to the Black Girl is probably Shinjiro, Rin’s younger brother.

The gap between Lin and her sister was quite large, then and now.

wickedness-!

It was a sword strike that Shinjiro, at that time, would not have been able to block.

Chae-Ang!

It doesn’t work on Lin.

But Lee Do-hyeok’s tricks didn’t end there.

He pretends to swing his sword again, then puts it in midair and touches the ground.

Then, Seungryonggak stretches out his bent body and pulls it out.

It doesn’t activate the skill and is treated as a basic attack, but it is still threatening enough.

[Ah, Lee Do-hyeok’s decisive blow! But it doesn’t work!]

Tsuki’s scream upon seeing that.

It didn’t work out as he said.

[That was Kujo’s technique, right? For a moment, I thought I had read the wrong character.]

[Yes. It’s one of Lee Do-hyeok’s special features. He can perform all the movements as any character! Very! Amazing!······.]

-Kya hahaha

-Disciple No. 4, respect your teacher

-Honey is really dripping from your eyes.

Papak!

Lin used his sword to block Lee Do-hyeok’s legs, and then extended his arm to block the following attack.

It was a good defense.

But Lin’s face wasn’t that good.

Rather, his face looked more dissatisfied than when he had his mouth shut earlier.

There was a furrow between her eyebrows.

Taat!

Lin jumps back to gain some distance.

She opened her mouth, still maintaining her usual posture.

“..With just a sword.. you can stick together.”

What I didn’t like was that it changed from a sword fight to a boxing match.

“hmm?”

Lee Do-hyuk’s eyes flinched at the sight of Lin like that.

-thief

-No, is there a flaw here?

-(Being arrogant) is a flaw

-nn (interesting) flaw

-Isn’t Lin Nunna (pretty) a flaw?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You’re really pretty~

The reaction of viewers in Lee Do-hyeok’s room after seeing that.

Of course, all of these guesses were wrong.

‘Let’s fight with only swords…’

Clearly, in the past, there was a time when they called it Mutodori (no swordsmanship), and it seems that close combat other than swords was also of a high level.

I guess I didn’t think that way yet at this time.

Or maybe there is a good reason for it.

“Well, if that’s what you want, then there’s nothing I can’t do.”

“..your sword.”

Lin looked blankly at Lee Do-hyuk.

“What is that?”

Ambiguous question.

But Lee Do-hyeok was the one who could easily guess the meaning.

How did you learn the Chiba family’s swordsmanship, even the vision?

And furthermore···

─Sack!

Why is it so similar to Lin’s swordsmanship, rather than just a simple family swordsmanship?

That must have been the question being asked.

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

[Lynn]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □

This time, Lin couldn’t block it or dodge it.

At that moment, Lin’s eyebrows furrowed once more.

“I don’t intend to tell you that.”

Shhhhhhhhh!

Lee Do-hyeok’s offensive became more intense.

**

The sword is fired.

Left. No.

right.

Oh my!

The feel in the hand is quite heavy.

But the next thing.

Lin took a step forward and slashed her sword.

One, this time I don’t feel anything.

The same would have been true for the other person.

Because it was just a facade.

Shhh-

The face of the other person you see at that time.

Lin’s lips pursed.

In this match, there is an opponent who smiles like that every now and then.

I think it was Lee Do-hyeok.

─Crunch!

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

[Lynn]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □

Got stabbed again.

Is this the third time?

That’s why I didn’t like the other person’s smile.

It’s not that I didn’t like the other person.

Rather, rather···

hook!

At that moment, the opponent’s sword strike was fired again.

Lin defended by tilting the blade to the side.

visor!

After blocking it, cut it while changing the angle.

Then, Lee Do-hyeok runs away and avoids them.

Then he dashes in again.

Lin’s eyes moved busily.

Chaeng, chae chaeng! Chae chae chaeng!

Continued exchange of sword strikes.

‘It’s strange.’

Lin knows her talents well.

Because everyone in the family, no, everyone who crossed swords with her, unanimously said the same thing.

A genius and a natural disaster who makes others despair.

Ever since she gained some strength, she has never lost a sword fight within her family.

Of course, if she were to openly push it into a mere fight of strength, she wouldn’t be able to beat her brother or any other adult male in a duel, but if you only look at the art of the sword, there was no one who could beat her.

That’s why in full dive.

He believed that in a place where there was no difference in strength between men and women, no one would be able to beat him in swordsmanship.

There were a few crises, but that was because I hadn’t fully adapted to this game called Iron Fist.

But···

Crunch!

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □

[Lynn]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □

Another sword strike that couldn’t be avoided.

But this time, she was also cut down.

“hmm?”

Then, this time, Lee Do-hyuk licked his lips again with that sound.

This time, Lin’s eyebrows furrowed, unable to stop themselves from frowning.

‘Why has it been like this since a while ago···’

“Hmmmm···!”

fault!

Lin stepped forward while saying those words.

But the words he was spitting out could not be continued till the end.

Shhhhhhhhh!

Sword clashes with sword…

“Ugh!”

A moment, a twisting orbit.

The opponent’s sword strikes rise up her blade.

Can it be avoided?

Her mind made quick decisions.

It was unavoidable.

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □

[Lynn]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □ □

Again.

One-sided deal.

This is exactly why she had been thinking something was strange all along.

She believed in herself.

When it comes to swordsmanship, no one can match her talent.

This was by no means overconfidence.

But then, what on earth is the opponent in front of us?

[Ah, this time Lin allowed an attack again!]

[Lee Do-hyeok’s sword is extremely sharp. No matter how they seem to be even, in the end, Lee Do-hyeok is always the one who succeeds in his attacks!]

Lin knows that she is moving forward in this war.

That’s what it means to be a genius.

A being that can grow while fighting and in the middle of battle.

Overwhelming talent.

That’s why Lin continued to become stronger than she was just a little while ago.

But···

Oh my!

Not long after the war began, Lin realized something.

Surprisingly, her opponent’s swordsmanship was superior to hers.

I don’t know why she can use the Chiba family’s secret swordsmanship so much better than her, but that’s not what I can’t understand right now.

At the beginning of the game, the difference between her and Lee Do-hyeok was only one step.

But that one step was long overtaken by her incomprehensible swordsmanship.

But why, why can’t I catch it?

Rather than being caught, why is that one footstep still there?

“···”

If you think you’ve caught up, you’ll soon fall behind.

It’s not even just moving away.

Shhhhhhhhh!

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □

[Lynn]

■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □ □ □

One HP bar reduced equally between both.

Just when I thought I had it figured out.

“..hmm?”

A blemish that occurs when the corners of the mouth are twitched and spitting is done.

That’s what annoyed Lin so much.

Anyway-

[The situation is getting worse for Lin. She doesn’t have much HP left!]

Chaeng, chaeng!

Oh my!

A ceaseless exchange of sword strikes and sword strikes.

How long has it been since then?

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □

[Lynn]

□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

With the last remaining HP being reduced.

[YOU LOSE]

That notification signaled Lin’s defeat.

Lin, lost the first game!

**

“Ugh.”

The first defeat, a fight where there was no difference in strength due to gender, but rather a sword-to-sword fight.

It was my first time feeling like this.

Lin chewed her lips slightly.

-oh

-Kya Lin is so cute

-I guess you’re pretty talented, okay?

-Really lol

-Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was almost like when he fought Pongtol in awakening mode, but of course, there were viewers who praised Lee Do-hyeok even though he lost.

That wasn’t anything Lin cared about.

“···”

Lin stares at Lee Do-hyeok with piercing eyes.

Although we lost the first game, we were not completely defeated yet.

If we recover in the second game and win in the third game…

‘And just now···’

Something passed through Lin’s head.

Something like enlightenment.

If it were your sword now… you could go further.

Maybe the opponent···

“hmm.”

Lee Do-hyuk met Lin’s intense gaze for a few seconds and then looked away.

‘It’s definitely Lin.’

Education at Lee Do-hyeok’s own level, as envisioned.

Lin had already completed 5 steps out of what he thought would be 64.

Truly violent swordsmanship!

‘If this is the case, was the promise kept or not?’

I asked you to do your best, so you didn’t do it?

But, it’s not like I didn’t show it at all.

Lee Do-hyeok decided to interpret the promise with Lin in his own way.

‘It doesn’t have to be our first meeting, right?’

It’s a bit of a shame to show everything there already.

then···

“Okay, both players. Now let’s move on to the second round.”

At that time.

A contest staff member approached them and said something to them.

That’s how the second game started.

“···Huh?”

Lin’s eyes shook violently.

“Ah, this heavy and cool feeling.”

Lee Do-hyeok said so while raising his weapon.

-Ugh hahahahaha

-No, what the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You just showed me how awesome Masamune is in a mirror match ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ-Trevor is kind of fun though ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah haha ​​if you feel wronged then win the first round

What Lee Do-hyuk took out was Trevor.

That character who once hit the head of the chairman of the Jeont Association.

“..Huh, huh?”

With Lin, who seems to not understand the current situation and shows some strange gestures.

[FIGHT!!!]

The game has begun.

─Kkaang!!

[Hmm, is that right?]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □ □

[Lynn]

□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

As expected, Pattaga’s cooking skills were the best.

[Humgeujeongdunga], Lee Do-hyeok.

Easy win in the second round!

It was Lee Do-hyeok’s victory in the competition.
