《I Shall Prevail》Chapter 9: Rivalry
Advertisement
Adir was dumbfounded, he was gazing at the land, at least what was left of it. Until he warped to another place. He looked around and saw another beautiful land, except this time there was a large city too. He was admiring the area when again, just like last time two tears appeared in the sky. Two armies showed up once more but this time they were bigger, he felt sorrow knowing the city would end up being destroyed along with the gorgeous land.
Adir watched as the same woman and same man from before once again led the charge. The woman was now using two swords this time and the man was using the same glaive from before. They had healed by the looks of it and they looked at each other with even more hatred from before. They held a grudge against one another from last time.
They each roared, commencing the battle. Adir watched as the land quickly started to get destroyed. With each angel or demon that crashed into the ground a large crater would be formed, powerful attacks that missed their targets hit the ground causing big explosions, the city was being obliterated, its habitants were crazily running in every direction trying to find their way to safety.
Adir knew it was inevitable, they’d all perish along with the land. The armies power was too immense. Their attacks, techniques and weapons were all too powerful, leaving destruction wherever they touched.
Adir wasn’t aware but his core had been undergoing changes all this time. It was as if it had a mind of its own. Everything Adir was witnessing would benefit it, these powerful beings would make one wiser and more knowledgeable in the world of cultivation just by watching them training, even more so watching many of them fighting and using their prowess in action.

They had powers far greater only Adir couldn’t imagine they were holding back. These lands would be far worse if they didn’t hold back but it wouldn’t benefit any of the two parties if they fought with everything they had.
They were fighting for territories, for the world. The angel dynasty was from the south region where as the demon empire was from the north. They held the most strength of the world but they each desired to be number one as well as rule the world by themselves.
The land below was wretched and had no signs of life for miles. Just like the previous area the armies had fought on. If things continued like this they would end up destroying the world or destroying each other. And if by chance someone finally won, there’d be nothing to govern over. It’d all be destroyed.
Adir watched and just like before, the princess of the angel army and prince of the demon army finally fought one another and once more the two armies stopped what they were doing and prepared for whatever outcome the battle would give.
As both commanders fought they increased speed and strength. The woman used both swords efficiently and swiftly looking really experienced with them. The man had improved his techniques from the last battle and was completely focused.
It had finally reached a climax when they created a distance between them and started to speak under their breath. As they finished they abruptly rushed forward facing each other and swung with all their might their weapons. Their momentum was insane as they broke the sound barrier crashing into each other. Silence filled the air for a few seconds.
PFFFFFF
An enormous blast of wind was traveled across the area. It killed many heavily wounded warriors and injured many others. It was as if a large bomb had suddenly exploded.

The warriors couldn’t worry about themselves and once again paid attention to the commanders, they needed to see who was victorious. A large cloud of mana where they had crashed covered their view until out fell two bodies. They had been equal once more. With no time to waste they quickly headed for their commanders and retreated to have them healed once more.
Adir watched as the armies left once more, although it was incredible to him. The amount of power they held and all the techniques they used were impressive and incredible to him but he couldn’t stop looking at all the empty barren land. It was all destroyed, only blood, corpses upon corpses, armor, weapons and amass destruction was left.
Helplessness filled him, he felt sorrow and anger seeing all the life they had destroyed. Only to end up in a tie and for a second time too.
As Adir thought the scenery changed once more, it was another beautiful land. It was a kingdom, this was his first time seeing one and he knew what it was from all the books he’d read. As he was lost in thought two tears had once more appeared in the sky.
No! Not again! Stop!! – thought Adir.
This continued to occur, every time the battle ended it would result in a tie and both would retreat only leaving destruction and rivers of blood every single time.
Adir had lost track of time, he felt like weeks had passed by while he continued to watch all these battles. Every time they battled at least half of each army would die, the smallest battles consisted of over two-hundred-thousand men. At least a hundred thousand would die every time they fought. Adir no longer knew how many times they’d fought but it was at least in the triple digits.
With every battle that passed the man and woman would use different techniques, Adir noticed their battle would get longer and stronger. They had even gotten to the point that as soon as the tears opened they’d directly face each other. Not caring about leading the attack at all. The grudge they held had dissipated as well. The look in their eyes was now of excitement and rivalry.
They only fought to improve their skills now and would sometimes even exchange words.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
