I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 89

Episode 89 [Iron Fist] – You are the next strongest after me! (2)

“Hehehe.”

Kwabna smiled, revealing his teeth.

‘That’s what you were talking about.’

Tsuki, a ninja from the East.

Why did you tell me to be careful of this guy?

“Haha. You’re the first person to have fought me in close combat on such an equal footing.”

[Kwabna]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

[Tsuki]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □

In a close combat with Kwabna, Tsuki loses two HP.

Of course, it wasn’t a completely equal fight since we were cut down.

But from Kwabna’s point of view, this alone is surprising enough.

Those guys would have all fallen out a long time ago.

Moreover, Tsuki was able to unleash all sorts of unusual and creative combos that even surprised Kwabna.

‘Has there ever been an opponent as good as this one among those I’ve faced so far?’

By this measure, he is the best opponent he has faced so far.

It certainly wasn’t like this in the last competition.

What a change in such a short period of time.

I have no choice but to admit it since I have seen it myself.

“Not as much as me. You have amazing talent too!”

Tsuki’s talent may not be on the same level as mine, but it’s just below mine!

A relay of compliments from Kwabna, full of sincerity.

“Even if you lose today, you can be proud of yourself. If it weren’t for me, you would have been the one to subdue Iron Fist!”

Of course, Tsuki had no idea what was going on at the moment.

“… … ?”

What the hell is this guy saying?

Tsuki’s pupils continue to shake.

‘Peace? Me?’

No, well, the Japanese fighting game scene has been pacified…

And it’s not wrong to say that he has amazing talent…

Aren’t you the emperor of the Japanese fighting game world, and the one who is said to have the best fighting game talent in the archipelago?

But as soon as he had that thought, moments immediately flashed through Tsuki’s mind.

[-

“Oh, really?”

]

Asia server a few days ago.

The moment when Tsuki directly shot Idohyuk and asked for his teachings with all his heart.

It was Lee Do-hyuk who readily agreed to Tsuki’s request.

[-

“Originally, this kind of thing had to be learned through experience… .”

]

─Kkaang!!

“… … .”

Let’s stop thinking about it.

Tsuki suddenly swallowed as he felt his forehead start to hurt.

At that time.

Taat!

Kwabna runs towards Saddam with a face full of interest, wondering if it’s over for him now.

Tsukido then came to his senses and ran forward to meet her.

* * *

Kwabna’s declaration, “Tsuki! You are the next strongest after me!”

“Wow! What did I hear?”

“I think this is the first time I’ve heard Kwabna acknowledge someone like that, isn’t it?”

Naturally, it was broadcast around the world via relay.

“What do you think of what I just said?”

“Well, well. As someone who commentated on Lee Do-hyeok’s first match earlier, it’s hard for me to agree with that… But isn’t it true that Tsuki-sama has shown a very good performance against Kwabna-sama so far?”

“It was certainly a surprising sight, wasn’t it?”

The commentators quickly exchanged commentary on him.

It’s not like this statement is completely incomprehensible.

Because, like Tsuki showed earlier, there hasn’t been anyone in recent years who has been able to fight on par with Kwabna.

Kwabna, the owner of crazy physiques that have shocked top-level pros since his debut.

With that physicality and experience added to it, the performances Kwabna has shown in recent competitions have been nothing short of a disaster.

Even in the last world championship, the way other players used to deal with Kwabna was to avoid close combat with Kwabna as much as possible and deal with him in a different way.

The sky above the sky, the sky outside the sky.

If we’re talking about Iron Fist, the one who best fits that description is Kwabna.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

“Ah, the moment I speak! The close combat between the two players begins again!”

“Wow, that’s amazing! This time, it’s Tsuki who shows off his ability to barely get pushed back!”

But, Tsukirani shows that level of offense and defense against such a Kwabna.

─Crunch!

Eventually, Tsuki’s ninja sword cuts off Kwabna’s arm.

[Kwabna]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □

[Tsuki]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □

Although Tsuki also had to sacrifice a lot of HP in return, it was still an amazing achievement.

-Wow! Tsuki was this good of a player?

– He’s been a top player for years. This time he’s evolved to the next level. – Didn’t he show a great performance against his strong opponent Nick Jackson in the round of 16? I expected Nick to win. – Now that Kwabna is retired, it seems like Tsuki’s era will come.

-Everyone forgot about game 1? Don’t forget about Lee Do-hyeok.

The chat window also expressed its admiration as if it was surprising.

It is true that Tsukiga was the strongest player in Japan and had always been a top-class player, but this level of performance was unexpected even for them.

I thought that if there was a player who could threaten Kwabna, it would be Gulov or Anatol, but I didn’t expect Tsuki to be able to do it.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I burst out laughing after seeing the workshop chat

-Tsuki’s strongest theory ㄷㄷ

– Sensei Dohyuk must be laughing while watching the game too

-Ah lol Tsuki is the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings

-Hey, it’s not really the weakest

-Okay, the black girl wins

Of course, the sight of such commentators and foreign viewers was nothing more than a laugh to Korean viewers.

Shh! Bang! Bang!

At that time.

The battle that continued on and on.

Close combat between top players where judgment must change from frame to frame.

Pot! Pavabat!

How long did it last?

At that moment, Kwabna’s foot shot out, taking advantage of Tsuki’s opening.

Bam!

Kwabna’s front kick eventually hits Tsuki’s abdomen.

Tsuki was pushed back by the impact.

Still, thanks to avoiding the clean hit, I was able to take the next move without any stiffness.

He straightened his posture and raised his guard in preparation for the next attack.

But the attack did not come.

“…What are you doing?”

Instead, all I heard was a single word full of complaints.

Kwabna stands still and glares at Tsuki.

[Tsuki]

■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

[Kwabna]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □

Tsuki’s HP is now on the verge of defeat.

On the other hand, Kwabna’s HP has now only been reduced to a little less than half.

Anyone can see that Kwabna is likely to win the first set.

Of course, it wasn’t because of the difference in HP that Kwabna complained.

In the end, you are the one who will win.

Just because we’ve confirmed Tsuki’s talent doesn’t mean that the obvious fact will change.

There was something else he didn’t like.

“Of course this isn’t all you have.”

It was just a little while ago that Tsuki’s play had not been satisfying him.

“Are you hiding your strength because you think you’ve already lost one set? For the next set?”

Kwabna continued, frowning.

It was a natural flow of thought for him.

What should I say?

It was okay at first.

It was like that until then.

Tsuki sometimes catches him off guard and sometimes unleashes a combo attack that exceeds his expectations.

But what surprised him was the end of the middle part.

It was as if I was amazed by Tsuki’s talent, but as the game progressed, at some point, that kind of appearance completely disappeared.

He couldn’t help but think that Tsuki was hiding his power.

“… … .”

Of course, Tsukiro, who was listening to that, thought, “What the heck is this?”

‘No, what is this… .’

The hardships of the past few weeks.

At the end, there is a realization that Tsuki has gained.

Things I learned through direct experience.

One, enlightenment cannot last forever.

Even enlightenment has an end.

But even so, even if Lee Do-hyeok didn’t know, there were things I had prepared that I thought would work against Anatol and Beyond, the two of whom Tsuki was at a disadvantage in recent records.

The efforts Tsuki has made for that, and the many combos that were born as a result!

A lot of capital that I prepared to use if I ever meet Anatole and Beyond!

‘After taking it all out…’

Now you’re getting mad at yourself.

Tsuki was so wronged that he could die.

“Your mindset is rotten!”

“Eh-again. Kwabna-san. That’s not it…”

At that moment, Kwabna runs towards Tsuki.

“Enough with the excuses!”

Bam!

When the first set was finally over.

[Tsuki]

□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

[Kwabna]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □ □ □

Still, Tsuki was able to reduce Kwabna’s HP by half.

You could say that they fought well.

But the second set followed.

[Tsuki]

□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □

[Kwabna]

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □ □

Tsuki lost by a margin greater than 1 set.

“Compared to the first set, it was a slightly disappointing performance for Tsuki.”

“The mistake in the beginning ended up being a big loss. Of course, it was because Kwabna’s skills were good.”

“The last combo, it seemed like it was based on what Tsuki showed in the first set. Shall we watch it again?”

“… Tsk. I don’t understand. I definitely thought it was you.”

Paat-

Kwabna left after saying those words, even biting his tongue.

“… … .”

Tsuki, left alone, cried sadly inside.

‘Oh my god!!!!!’

Why did the sky give birth to me, Tsuki, Beyond, Anatole, Kwabna, and Idohyuk!!!

* * *

“Hmm… .”

-Tsuki is crying lol

-No, Kwabnashek, you talk a lot today, lol

-Really lol

-Are you excited about the retirement competition?

-What is this new type of tea bagging?

-If I lose to Dohyuk sensei, will I change my mind about retiring? ㅋㅋ

Lee Do-hyuk turned on the broadcast during the intermission.

He watched the quarterfinal match between Kwabna and Tsuki along with the viewers.

It was possible because there was quite a bit of time until the next game after playing one game.

‘Here he goes again.’

I don’t know what he was doing, but Kwabna was talking excitedly by himself.

In fact, it was quite a familiar sight for Lee Do-hyeok, who was his former colleague.

[-

“You have to go this way.”

]

[-

“Oh, this kid is acting up again.”

]

[-

“Hmm. Who was that kid who ignored my advice last time and ended up crying because his magic was sealed?”

]

[-

“No, I told you not to bring it up then, you muscle-brained brat… and you’re so ignorant, why am I the little kid!”

]

A conversation that Kwabna and Eileen once had.

In terms of pure intelligence, it was a fight between the highest and lowest of the nine heroes, but somehow, the one who won the most was Kwabna.

A relationship that you don’t know if it was good or bad.

‘Maybe it was a good fit…?’

anyway.

For some reason, Kwabna believed that he had a good genetic intuition and believed in it.

Even Eileen, who at first said she didn’t believe in the superstitions of African tribal villages, later came to rely on Kwabna’s intuition to some extent.

Of course, that wasn’t entirely accurate.

In some ways, it was quite the opposite.

There were many cases where people tried to avoid a fight by going somewhere else, only to end up in an even bigger fight.

But, I said that no matter where you go, you just have to go to Seoul.

If you follow Kwabna’s instincts, there are many cases where the process is a bit strange, but the end result is good.

All the heroes have had that experience at least once.

‘I briefly thought it might be because of the unique ability…’

Kwabna’s unique ability was a bit different from that of regular hunters, just like Lin’s.

A unique ability called ‘Tonginhwa’.

The name was grandiose, but the reality was nothing of the sort.

An ability that increases physical abilities and durability, as well as external changes such as scales growing all over the body and eyes becoming like those of a reptile.

It’s a fairly advanced unique ability, but it’s not quite the best.

So, I thought that in addition to an increase in physical ability, the senses would become more sensitive and something like a sixth sense would develop…

‘That wasn’t it either.’

The mechanism that Lee Do-hyeok figured out through copying is simply that physical abilities improve and the body becomes stronger.

In other words, Kwabna just meant that he had a natural intuition.

And the fact that Kwabna was able to have fighting power that was among the best among the nine heroes despite not having the highest level of unique abilities was ultimately due to Kwabna’s pure talent.

‘Well… it was the same just now.’

The match a little while ago.

The result of the second set was more disastrous than the first set, not simply because Tsuki’s preparations ran out.

In the meantime, it was also because Kwabna had become slightly stronger than before.

What Tsuki absorbed after watching Lee Do-hyeok play, Kwabna also absorbed through Tsuki.

No, he went beyond that and showed how to do it in his own way.

Of course, even so, it was still lacking compared to the Kwabna from the Nine Heroes era that Lee Do-hyeok remembered, but it was a moment when he felt that Kwabna’s talent was still there.

-Kwabnado is really good at hitting

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋf*ck Of course it’s that Kwabna

– I think this is the only place where Quabna is treated like shit – Ah ㅋㅋ If you look at Dohyuk sensei, your standards get weird – But am I the only one who’s nervous? Honestly, even Dohyuk sensei would be a little nervous when it comes to Quabna;;

-agreed

“Player Lee Do-hyeok. You can get ready now.”

“Yes. Everyone, did you hear that? Now let’s go to the quarterfinals.”

-But if you’re not scared of the quarterfinals, I recommend it lol

-I recommend it~

The chat room is bustling again with news of the semi-finals.

It had to be that way.

-Doba doba

-ㅂㅂㅂㅂ

-Come and win

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋAm I the only one looking forward to Beyond ‘Beyond’ and crying?

-Let’s go for it until we win

This is the matchup that Lee Do-hyeok’s fans have been waiting for.

[Lee Do-hyeok VS Beyond]

How to ‘Beyond’ Beyond in EVO?

I couldn’t stand this.
