I Killed an Academy Player

Hearing that, Tates thought once again how this man had such a good heart that was the pure opposite of him.

Tiger’s Gust: Great Demonic Spear of Wind.

“It’s only because you think as such that you have the right to fight against me! alpha Come, Korin Lork!”

They swung their spears at one another using the same technique.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a simple sweeping attack that focused only on the pure strength of the attack, and was therefore the most destructive move out of all the Six Ways of the Spear.

Tates was the one that was flung back from the clash. abandon Korin’s body, which had already been amplified by the Precepts, now had the explosiveness of a bomb embedded within.

– Kwaang!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite receiving that explosive attack from the front, Tates didn’t seem all that fazed.

He was like a dynamite that could explode the surroundings.

“Aya~”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a move that allowed one to defend and counter an enemy attack, but Korin was using not the spear but his Silver Arm for the attack.

Soon, Korin vanished from his sight.

Immediately upon realizing that, Tates swept across with the spear.

Spinning Heaven: Rotating Demon Spear.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kugung!

Airgetlam with the power of the Sun compressed inside was heading straight towards Tates.

The heat from the compressed Sun shoved the entire dimension away from it. auction The layer of aura that Tates put up to defend was pushed all the way back into the World Tree, twisting and disintegrating the tree on the path.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I haven’t even used my Shura yet. armor Work a bit harder. artist Wasting your energy everywhere is never gonna be enough to beat me. adjust Bring out more of what’s inside.”

With his lips distorted into a smile, Tates said to the man in front of him.

Block, defend. timber Sweep, parry.

As a result, everything in the radius around the two of them had been chopped off. portal It was unavoidable as each sweep of the spear was snapping branches and giving off a shockwave equal to that of a 100-storey building collapsing on the ground.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Paang!

Eventually the force behind the spin was enough to push Korin’s spear back. amateur Korin widened his eyes as the backlash from the failed attack of an immense amount of aura crushed his internal organs.

Forcing down the mouthful of blood that was about to escape his mouth, Korin took a step back.

His spear was still spinning. matrix After blocking Korin’s attacks several more times in its rotation, the spear was accelerating even more.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ultimately, however, it was a bad decision for him.

He therefore had to rely on his fist instead. academy Korin smacked the side of the spear to deviate it away from him, but it came at the cost of blood splashing from his fist.

“Huhp…!”

The Spear of Light slithered forth and opened its mouth wide open like a serpent. zenith Korin didn’t have time to pull his spear back to parry the incoming spear.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

When that too was blocked, Korin intertwined his leg against the enemy’s to lock his legs… and jumped closer.

Without stopping his fist, Korin continued with Eight Trigrams. airport He held his wrist against the shaft of the spear and did a spinning kick at the opponent.

The two were now too close for spears to be a threat. orbit Although that was a penalty that applied to both of them, there was a fundamental difference in their equipment.

Even Tates was surprised upon seeing that, but the look of surprise was soon replaced by a faint smile.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

But before the Silver Arm that blazed its surroundings was able to reach Tates, Tates’ palm was already on Korin’s chest.

Silver Arm Airgetlam. amateur With the Sun compressed into it, the arm was the undisputed king of strength across the mythology.

Korin flinched. arrow This situation; this technique was—

“Did you think you could beat me in close combat without spears? voyage Don’t forget your essence, spearman.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The enemy was a true monster who had repeated hundreds of years of continuous strife. agent His experience was one that Korin would never be able to reach even if he were to train for the rest of his life.

‘Did he copy my skills? antique No, he probably knew it already…!’

Eight Trigrams: Three Heavenly Palms

Three palm strikes immediately landed on his vitals. adapt Gasping for breath Korin stumbled.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Was this really winnable?

He was too far forward.

Tates was too overwhelmingly powerful and the original game was serving no use.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t a matter of whether he could win or not – it was a fight he had to win at all costs. armor Even if he had to bet everything on the line.

While still gasping for breath, Korin smiled. antique It was a derisive smile at himself.

“Hah…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was perhaps more accurate to say that it had become sharper than before. acquire After seeing Tates’ immaculate control over distance several times, Korin seemed to have had a better grasp, and his attacks were becoming closer than before by a tiny yet meaningful margin.

Faster and even more precise… His spear rapidly headed for Tates’ neck but was half a step too far to reach it.

‘He became quicker?’ Tates thought to himself.

– Grit!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kwaaaaang…!!!

It was a great display of perceptiveness and besides—

The spear was starting to cry out. admire The shaft of the spear, crafted using the finest material – the Unbreakable Stone – was screaming out from the sheer amount of power compressed within it.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was already simultaneously using Shura and Sun, which both consumed a ridiculous amount of energy, and yet he was forcing them sealed in his spear.

‘That spear itself provides immense pressure.’

That was a tremendously inefficient move. atom Despite the ridiculous amount of energy he would have from the Precept, there was still an end to to everything.

“You compressed both Aura and the Sun into the spear, huh.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see. alien You’re telling me to give it my all… huh. abandon Splendid indeed.”

Despite knowing strength alone wouldn’t be enough, Korin was pushing himself through the limits, but it wasn’t for vain. arch Tates also had to increase his output to match Korin’s attacks.

The strength behind the spear was so incredible that it couldn’t possibly be blocked from the front.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Tates grinned and awakened the power of his Aura Core and the Spear of Light.

x Vanquishing Light – Areadbhair

Sixth Style, Shura

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

When Tates pointed that spear forward, light emerged from the speartip and barely missed next to Korin’s temples.

His abundant aura bloomed into a shape.

Along with the increase of his physical abilities thanks to Shura, the Spear of Light also began to give off an ominously white light.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– GOHHHHHH…!

Nothing remained behind the path of the Vanquishing Light – even the distant clouds of other planets were cracked open.

“The same goes for yours. afford Well, I’m not a fan of scattering and wasting energy around though.”

“I’ll die if that even touches me,” grumbled Korin.

Ominous Snake—

They pointed their spears at their foes once again. palette The spears with so much power condensed inside that they could destroy heavens and the earths clashed gently, but that alone was enough to shave away at the World Tree and dissipate the nearby clouds.

Despite having that much power, and despite having the powers of gods, they still relied on swinging their spears around.

Ominous Snake—

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Read the opponent’s mind and retaliate.

Their wrists twisted in the same unique way. arch Korin had to react to Tates’ attack that could come from any direction like a pouncing serpent.

Naturally, Tates was both faster and more skilled with the same technique. zenith What mattered therefore was Korin’s ability to predict his movements and move accordingly.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

— Clockwise Na Zha

The moment they collided, the spears tried to push each other down in Lan Na Zha.

– Kagagagak!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kwagagagak…!

The two compressed spears rotated around one another as the force lost its sense of direction and destroyed the surroundings instead.

— Anti-clockwise Na Zha

Tates widened his eyes.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The outcome of a battle wasn’t simply decided by strength and technique. adopt What mattered was the ability to react on the fly against attacks that transformed a thousand times every minute, and the only way that was possible was through prediction of the opponent’s movements.

‘This guy…’

It was a concept that normal people couldn’t grasp.

He was becoming more and more enlightened with the spear.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just like the Domain, it was hard to measure and was more of an unmeasurable concept. abandon Only through countless battles of life and death would one be able to realize and develop that fighting instinct.

It was an ability that separated him from the previous players who had nothing but strength up their sleeves, and that was what allowed him to close the otherwise-unbreachable gap that existed between him and the pioneer of spearmanship.

Korin Lork had that with him.

The ability to overwhelm every opponent came from that ingenious instinct to respond to every situation on the fly.

Ominous Snake: Secret Arts – Distorted March

— Lan Na Zha

He was getting closer and closer.

For a split moment, Tates couldn’t read the path of the incoming spear. timber Unable to catch up to the speed of Korin’s growth, he ended up allowing a deadly move but—

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Run as much as you like. amber I’ll overtake you soon enough.”

“I have my fair share of experience, you see.”

What allowed him to suppress that ability to basically foresee the future was his overwhelming amount of experience. anchor Such speed and ability, Tates had already experienced several times while killing Erin Danua 99 times.

The spear missed its target. sphere Tates twisted himself with half-a-foot of gap between him and the spear, and managed to divert the energy of the enemy’s attack sideways and push the spear down.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

A chill ran down his spine hearing the arrogant claim of the young man.

I knew it, Valtazar thought to himself.

Flinch!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

This was the man.

Until now, he had repeated 99 battles.

This spearman truly was his destined contender.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were powerful but at the same time weak.

They were strong. arctic They were unarguably powerful, but none of them were able to win the acknowledgement of Lia Fail, the world nor Tates Valtazar himself.

He saw numerous players looking for the most efficient route and monopolizing all the hidden pieces.

Although they were big, the willpower sitting at the core of their hearts were small. anxiety They were selfish, egotistic and pathetic creatures who thought they knew everything.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

They didn’t have dignity.

He couldn’t possibly acknowledge them. audit There was no way that such people could mark the beginning of a mythology.

After 99 battles against people like them, Tates was starting to feel discontent. artist Were these worthless people with a peaceful mind really my contenders? accent A hero?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kagang…!

– Swish…!

Diving into the gap of the rotating spear, one of them would strike with a fist, while the other would block and kick the opponent away.

Power, technique, experience, steps, pacing of breaths, distance control, spearmanship, fists, kicks, runes, aura, mana… Everything was being tested to its limit.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kagak! adapt Kagagak…!

With every clash, Tates could feel that Korin was growing. avalanche Chasing after the pioneer called Tates Valtazar, he was getting closer and closer to his shadows.

Despite using up so much strength, aura and mana… and although their energies were being depleted with every passing second, neither of the spears were losing their sharpness.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Was I being caught up? ability Me?

That baffling realization wasn’t enough to erase the smile on his face. auction He became more talkative in his joy.

“Kuhuhuhu…!”

“Do you know how many of the 99 Park Sihu’s were mages?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Around 80. 80 of them chose magic! voyage And the rest? autumn They were just pathetic idiots that tried to use swords just because it looked cool…!

Korin was busy trying to catch up, and didn’t have the leeway to respond to his nonchalant question.

“I don’t care…!”

“What about the ones that chose magic?” he continued. august “It might have been a wise decision for them, but all of them were the same. abstract They were all afraid of fighting.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are the only one!” anxiety Tates yelled. arch “Only you…! august Have chosen to actually fight! arrow To collide and bleed! autumn To proceed forward with your life on the line! august Regardless of injuries!”

Korin asked back, “What’s wrong with wanting to receive some attention!? abandon What are you trying to say?!!”

“They hated clashing! artist Bleeding! arrow And getting injured! alert They were meagre brats that wanted to oppress enemies from a safe distance and be praised for being fabulous by their surroundings!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How could it not be endearing?” accent Tates continued. auction “In front of me, there is finally a warrior that is trying to catch up to me even at this moment! harbor How could I, as a Danann…! antique And as a spearman, possibly hate such a warrior!”

A hundred players there had been, and yet only one of them was a true ‘warrior’.

They clashed.

“Don’t fall for me! amateur I don’t swing that way!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Branches of the World Tree were being sliced behind them. admire Even the branch crumbling beneath them and all the fragments of the tree served as a footing for the two to advance at one another.

– Kwagagak…!

Testing each other to their limits, they grew and tried to either close or extend the gap between them.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sun and the Light.

The explosiveness of their overwhelming potential threatened to disintegrate each other’s bodies with each collision.

Shura and Shura.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

And overcome him.

To fight,

To fight,

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Their overwhelming attacks clashed and offset one another. arch In the midst of that energy and firepower, the two people ran straight into the center of the explosion and saw each other doing the same.

And shake him off.

When they got close to the point that their speartips could reach each other, the two spearmen moved in the same manner.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Combining the aspirations, Domain and the truth—

Harmonizing the mind, spirit and the body—

The fastest and the strongest stab.

A stab.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

A whole-hearted stab that nothing can block.

They embedded their minds into the spear.

Penetration of Every Creation

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

““……!!!!””

— Penetration of Every Creation.

Korin pushed forth with his strongest spear, and the response from Tates was—

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just like how rivers would reach the same ocean regardless of where they began, it was not a coincidence nor a miracle that the two spearmen reached the same truth.

‘Every river led to the same sea,’ it was said.

The two of them were shocked, but soon came to an understanding.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was that they both had the same thoughts when it came to the ‘strongest attack’.

– Ka…!

The spears collided, ripped each other’s palms and bounced out. alpha Left empty-handed, the two of them still did not stop.

– Kang…!

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Until they killed each other; until they saw the ending.

The two spearmen did not stop.

Even without a spear—

Even though their arm muscles were torn apart; even though it felt like their bodies were being sliced to pieces and their hearts were beating like there was no tomorrow—

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Pacing their feet, they controlled their balance.

Forward.

Forward.

Fearless of being injured.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

And closed the distance – going forward, following the closest trajectory to the enemy’s heart.

“How rare that we have reached the same conclusion.”

The deadly punches were blocked by each other’s defense. alpha While glaring at one another with little gap between them, they said to one another.

“We should still end with a spear, should we not?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

And Tates picked up the Red Spear.

Korin picked up the Spear of Light,

Shura, Aura, as well as the mana for the Sun and the Light were all depleted.

They grabbed whatever weapon that was near them that could kill the other person.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

A frontal collision where no blocks, dodges or petty tricks could come into play.

Ominous Snake: Extreme Arts –

What would decide the fight now was their spearmanship.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’ll continue with the second Rearing Head. academy Let’s see how far we can go…!’

Ominous Snake: Extreme Arts –

The pinnacle of stabbing in Six Ways of the Spear, the Venomous Dragon rearing its head into the Domain.

It was the quickest spear that prided in its immaculate speed. harbor Their spears collided in the Domain as the aftershock of the clash destroyed and disintegrated everything nearby.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Kwack!

Korin’s spear moved gently and naturally like it was normal. atlas The moment it collided against his spear—

– Swish

Tates retrieved the spear for a second Rearing Head as a smile of victory creeped up his lips. adapt He quickly activated the second Rearing Head of the Venomous Dragon but it was then.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was zero void between each attack, and it was a move that Tates knew all too well. abstract Despite knowing it, he still couldn’t comprehend how it was possible.

A consecutive attack within the Domain – within the world of suspended time. wizard The attack broke through the obvious common sense that one had to retrieve the spear to follow through with another stab.

The spear penetrated through his neck, chest and shoulder.

– Kwagagak…!

Tates continued with the extreme arts of Ominous Snake. aluminum Korin, who had come to a momentary stop due to the aftereffect of Void, could not dodge the incoming spear.

“Don’t you dare think it’s over…!”

From the very beginning, Korin had been a user of the ‘truth’ acknowledged by the system. arcade He had two of the strongest ‘truths’ of Penetration and Void.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, the same applied to the opponent’s attacks.

Stab!

The Red Spear in Tates’ hands stabbed slightly above where the heart was. arch Due to the stabs of Void hitting him before, Tates couldn’t keep the spear straight and it missed the heart.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not over yet!”

They simultaneously retrieved their spears. sphere Both of them were in tatters. abandon Although their spears had barely missed each other’s vitals, they were bleeding a ridiculous amount that would have left most people dead.

It was an incredible skill that allowed several stabs to happen at once, but it came at the cost of reduced accuracy. matrix Although there was a crack in his ribs, his collarbone was crushed and one of his arms was unusable… everything was fine as long as he wasn’t dead.

This wasn’t his first time seeing the Void – in fact, Tates had seen it countless times.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Neither had enough strength for another stab, which left only one option that was both strong and threatening.

The attack that rotated endlessly before using the force of the spin to suppress the opponent–

Only after countless slices and drops of blood… did Tates get pushed back all the way until he was leaning on the trunk of the World Tree before eventually coming to a stop.

They began slicing each other. adopt The turbulent movement of the spear began slicing and cutting each other apart all the while avoiding each other’s spears to an eccentric degree.

“…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“I won.”

On top of that, there was Korin’s [Regeneration of Tenacious Warrior] that let him recover his wounds in real-time albeit by little. artist That small difference was what allowed him to stay half-a-step forward.

What decided the fight was the set of three wounds from the Void. ability Despite the problem with accuracy, the three consecutive stabs had already reduced Tates’ body to tatters.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

After 99 victories, he finally met his enemy on the 100th time. canvas Seeing Korin declare his victory, what Tates felt wasn’t that of humiliation, but that of relief.

“Yeah… Seems like it.”

While bleeding from all over his body, Tates looked at the warrior gazing at him.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 255: Tates Valtazar (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the end of a wonderful fight that didn’t leave behind a single regret.
