Chapter 1079 - Victory

BOOOM!

The explosion blew out again, sending both of us back. This time too, I had actively taken the energy from the explosion. More than last time, as just as I stabilized, I moved toward Edmond, only to see him coming at me.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM…

The real end of the fighting had started, and in just a few minutes, the result of the battle would appear. Both of us are using our everything; in one of the clashes, the winner would be declared.

'F.u.c.k!' Puh Puh Puh…

I cursed loudly as the energy of the explosion leaked inside me, and that wild energy tore through my body, seriously injuring me, making me puke blood several times.

The injuries are serious, but I have no time to care about it; I had just simply circulated the healing rule and continued fighting while reminding myself not to repeat the earlier mistake.

Suppressing the intense pain I am feeling, I moved toward Edmond again, who is also coming at me with the intent to end this battle as soon as possible. The battle had lasted too long, and it was time to finish it as soon as possible.

But it is not easy when both have nearly similar strength, and no combat tricks work on others. It makes it difficult to win the fight; one has to look for that one in thousands chance and take it.

As I fight again, Edmond, I see those hundreds of chances. All of them could help me defeat Edmond in a single move, it is what they looked like, but all of them are traps, expertly crafted through the thousands of battles.

That is why unless you have an overwhelming advantage, it is very difficult to end the fight in defined times.

BOOM BOOM BOOM…

The booming sound rang across the Arena, with both of us having pale faces. For the past few moves, Edmonds's defense also reached its limit; he could not defend against the ever-increasing power of the explosions.

Earlier, he had easily defended the power of the explosions again; his Brimstone armor had given him an envy-worthy defense, but now, as the power of the explosions increased, it had started to test the defense of the hi Armor.

If this continues, his powerful Brimstone Armor will not be able to save him from the continuous assault of the explosion, and that will be my chance. Unlike him, my armor's defense depends upon how I control it, and since the intense fight has begun, I am controlling it just fine.

Though there were some exceptions where I made some mistakes and received some injuries, they are behind me. Now, I just carefully fight, since the Edmonds defense is reaching the limit, he will make a mistake in action quickly finishing the fight.

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM…

I was right, right after his defense started crumbling, he became a little hasty; he did not increase the power of his attack but started to make his attack tricker, wanting to exploit a mistake in my combat Style.

It is a very good thing for me, as with a controlled explosion, I started to suck more and more power into my storing it for a special purpose. As such, this again turned into a battle of skills.

At every attack, he would try to breach the defense on my body, and while I would counter it, creating the explosion. I am having really fun fighting like this; this feels like a game of chess where you counter every move of your enemy while making strategy for the checkmate.

While I am having fun, Edmond is too engrossed in finding ways to beat me. He is also storing the power for the one big move and will use it when the time comes.

A chance!

Suddenly when we were fighting, I found a perfect chance. It had been quite a while since I had been using the data to fight, and never I have never seen such a surety till now.

And another thing about this chance that this is a trap, like the tens of other obvious traps that were opened by Edmond at the last minute, but I am still going to act on it.

"Hehe!"

I moved my sword toward the opening, seeing that wide smile couldn't help but appear on Edmond's face, who swung his sword at my neck without care for my sword, which is coming toward his chest.

Well, I could understand why he is doing that, the speed his sword going toward my neck is extreme; he had never shown such speed before, to be honest, even I got quite surprised by it.

He had carefully held back this speed, only to be used right now, but unfortunately, he could not accomplish his goal with this speed; he is not the only one who is holding back on his strength.

Suddenly the biggest energy-storing formation that took nearly all my back had lit up and released all the energy into the Speed and Strength formation.

I had been collecting energy into that storing formation for the past half an hour; at every explosion, 10% of converted energy would go into that formation, now it had enough energy to give my attack a shocking burst.

The speed of my sword increased suddenly, so is strength radiating from it. The power was so great that it had completely shocked Edmond, a flabbergasted expression appeared on his face as he tried to increase the speed of the sword, but unfortunately, he could not.

BANG BOOM!

Finally, the back of my sword crashed on the chest of Edmond in a fearful speed and strength, which sent him flying like a cannonball and crashed him across the shield, which creates a huge rippling effect.

I won, I finally won!

I have dreamed about winning the competition millions of times since childhood. Though, this competition is way bigger than the league of heroes. Still, it is a sentiment that counts, and winning the competition where billions of people watching were my dream which I had fulfilled.

CHHEEER CHEEER CHEEEER…

Finally, the audience cheered loudly as they registered my victory. I bask in those cheers; it is cheered that I had earned myself in my blood and tears of the past few years.
