The Story of the Brave Warrior
6: Round 3

...Episode 11's...

Raden...

After I was encouraged by Adam earlier, I was a little confident this time, Adam wanted to tell me something, but he didn't want to say it.

At least he promised he'd say it when my business with Viktor was done.

I rode the arena, as did Viktor, and we both stared at each other.

"well the semifinal round of the third round finale will begin.!!!

Battles of the times are Viktor the expert level adventurer and Raden the beginner level.!!!

but don't underestimate Raden, he is so great even 15 years old.!!!!

Let's see the battle between experienced Viktor and the talented Raden!!!!."

"..."

"like our previous promise you remember."

"Of course, I hope you can keep that promise yourself."

"fightnnnnn diiimulaiii!!!."

GO

This time I used both of my swords simultaneously, it was risky, but there was no other choice.

Unlike the information from Adam as well as the previous round, Viktor did not use a sword at all and only used his bare hands, it seems he deliberately did this. But this time he used his sword, just one.

He must have seen the way I fought, I might have been very hard pressed to deal with it.

Viktor advanced first, with the archiles sword in my left hand, I managed to fend it off.

He then attacked me with his sword from above, because I used two swords, so I was forced to use both of my swords to hold him back.

but because of that, my defense was open, Viktor attacked me with his foot right in my chest, until I was hit far away.

"agghh... Blood?!!."

Shit I've been bleeding, plus I haven't hit it at all.

I stood up again, it's not over.

Viktor then walked slowly towards me.

!!!!

He disappeared!!!

Viktor was right behind me, he tried to attack me from behind, but I managed to fend him off perfectly.

"Oh.. You have good reflexes too."

"how can you be behind me, though,

but it doesn't seem to come from that power."

"well okay.. We'll start again.."

Viktor came back forward once again, I managed to avoid it easily, this was quite strange, after I noticed for a while, I realized that Viktor was trying to head towards the middle of the arena instead of towards me, What he planned this time.

Viktor moved his sword.

I realized and immediately made a position of defense, what he would do, using mystical powers, if so then I immediately gave up, I do not want to continue the fight with the person who made his own promise.

But after looking at it for a while, Viktor moved his sword without any mystical energy at all, I could feel it.

"alright.. I'm ready."

Viktor advanced towards me very quickly, at lightning-fast speed. He tried to stab me, but with both of my swords I managed to hold him.

But instead of releasing his sword, he was deliberately held in a position by my two swords, he moved his sword up, then to the right, then down, he continued to perform randomly while advancing forward.

I had a hard time holding him back, he was stronger than me in physical terms.There was no other choice I had to take off his sword and run towards the right.

Viktor couldn't just let me go, he came back to attack me, I managed to hold him back once again with my archiles sword, and then used my katana sword to attack him.

He managed to dodge by looking down, because he looked down I had to realize that if he attacked me by the collar of my feet, I did not have time to dodge until I fell.

Viktor then tried to stab me from below when I had fallen, but with both of my swords I managed to deflect him, using both of my legs to kick him right into his chest to escape him. After I got away I stood up and moved away from him.

this was not the first time I was cornered like this, before when I dueled Adam, I was indeed repeatedly cornered by him, but he restrained himself and used his mystical powers.

but Viktor, he's still holding back and not using his mystical powers at all, he's much stronger than Adam.

How now, what should I do. I do not know what to do in order to give him a meaningful resistance, what need I try those techniques...

"...."

The two of us ran together and facing each other, I tried to remember the movements of the adventurers first when I was in the village, I tried to remember their movements when fighting.

First strike, I tried to stab Viktor, but blocked by Viktor's attack, he held my sword.

the second strike, set foot beside him and advanced past him, while holding my sword towards him, so that my sword directly tried to slash him from the side.

He could not fend off my third attack, as it had already resisted my second attack.

But at the very clever, Viktor lowered his head and pushed me forward so that my third attack failed.

but now my two swords are right on his back.

fourth strike, snake stab.

It's a pity that Viktor managed to thwart my fourth attack again, by making me fall down due to the push from him who was very strong.

I fell down and got locked up by him, he attacked me with his sword, stuck me in the floor, just scratched my cheek, he then took off his sword and hit me in the face very hard.

"ghhh...agh!.agh.."

shit hurts so bad, nose, jaw seems to have broken, until Viktor hit my left eye. I'm hurt bad.

because it is no longer strong to endure the pain of Viktor's repeated blows. I dropped both my swords.

After that Viktor stopped beating me.

"it seems like that's enough."

Viktor then stood up and then raised both hands, proving that he won.

The audience cheered in delight, as the semi-final round was about to finish.

but this is not the end of my defeat.

I woke up, everyone was shocked including the jury

The spectator who was initially shouting happily suddenly stopped, I stood up using my archiles sword.

Viktor who was confused why everyone turned around, he noticed it, he rushed to look back.

surprised, I thought I had given up and now I'm back up.

"you better get some sleep."

"no. I don't want to end up like this."

"If that's what you want, I'll give you a great ending."

"That's good news for me..."

I still have not given up, I then ran towards Viktor to be able to attack him with my archiles sword, it seems like my left hand was broken due to Viktor holding my hand earlier, so I used one sword only.

"ENOUGH IS RADEN!!!."

adam shouted loudly so that I could be heard, but this had become my own choice, I continued my attack regardless of the risk later.

me and Viktor attacked each other until your two swords held each other back,

I tried with all my might to hold Viktor's sword until I felt something.

what's!!! He was draining his mystical energy of his sword.

no, I was not ready to channel my energy into my archiles, thus breaking my archiles to the ends of the handle.

my hand was also injured by Viktor's flow of energy.

"..."

my first sword was destroyed by Viktor, plus he cheated for breaking his promise.

He is not wrong, it is a match, both sides try everything to win, I was stupid for following the wishes of my own opponents.

I then fell limp with a feeling of despair, not believing the defeat I was hoping for was defeat with my hard efforts instead becoming defeat with despair and disappointment.

"..."

"You're finally really attacking.....!!!!."

I was upset to beat Viktor in the stomach with the addition of my Wind Cannon majors, if he cheated, then the agreement was over, now I only need to use the power of my Wind Cannon.

the second and third attacks were right on his stomach.

"Siall..ugh.. "

Viktor vomited blood as a result of my attack, I was a little happy in the end.

hahaah!!

I beat Viktor right on his chin with an extra stroke

My Wind Cannon.

He was able to resist and not get thrown at all, it seemed like he was using a strengthening technique that was self-defense after getting all three fatal attacks from me.

Viktor stood up, then choked my neck, he held me back until I was helpless, unable to move anymore. Then he used his feet to strike me through my stomach repeatedly, throwing myself out of the ring...

"..."

I seem to have suffered a lot of fatal injuries, but well my business with him is done today...
