I, Shura Armor, choose Belia at the beginning

boom!
With a deafening roar, the ground in front of Tsukasa Kadoya was once again cleaved open.

His sword strike also missed.

Because Swartz also has a lot of speed-boosting abilities at this time.

It only needs to use a few of them at random to achieve a rapid burst of power.

Its speed is not as fast as teleportation.

But in terms of sensory experience, they are almost the same.

Especially in close-quarters combat, the super-fast speed is almost indistinguishable from teleportation.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"

Swish!
Just then, a gust of wind swept in from Tsukasa Kadoya's right, followed by Swartz's furious roar.

Based on his combat instincts, Tsukasa Kadoya immediately dodged to the right.

His current actions are counterintuitive; if he dodges an attack coming from the right to the right, won't he just run right into it?
But that's what makes Tsukasa Kadoya different from ordinary people.

Tsukasa Kadoya nimbly leaped through the air, dodging an invisible slash that came from the right.

boom!
Just as Tsukasa Kadoya dodged, a loud bang suddenly came from the left side of where he had just been.

Swartz appeared out of nowhere and struck with his sword as if he had anticipated the attack.

If Tsukasa Kadoya had dodged to the left, he would have been struck squarely in the waist.

"What a clever feint! But don't underestimate my combat experience. I've been in more fights than you've eaten meals."

After Tsukasa Kadoya jumped to create distance between himself and Swartz, he immediately smiled and said.

Although he spoke lightly, he was still quite alarmed inside.

Tsukasa Kadoya was also gambling; he wasn't absolutely certain of the direction Swartz would strike.

But he still went with his gut and gambled.

Turns out he was right.

The attack from the right was just a feint by Swartz.

Its main body had already moved to the left, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Tsukasa Kadoya!

The danger of this exchange was so great that even Tsukasa Kadoya felt a chill run down his spine.

After the extreme thrill comes an exciting thrill.

The feeling of escaping death by a hair's breadth is incredibly exhilarating, and can even be addictive.

Some extreme sports enthusiasts enjoy this feeling that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Having experienced such a life-or-death situation.

Other things in the world rarely excite them.

As Tsukasa Kadoya got excited, his fighting spirit soared, and with that soaring fighting spirit, his mental power naturally expanded as well.

His strength is increasing at a visible rate.

"Hmph, you won't be so lucky next time."

Swartz did not refute Tsukasa Kadoya's statement.

Because he really didn't have much combat experience.

Swartz is a schemer, not a warrior.

What he sought was to seize absolute power through intrigue and then rule over everything.

The goal is not to hone oneself and become the strongest.

This is the biggest difference between a schemer and a warrior.

Therefore, Tsukasa Kadoya completely outclasses Swartz in terms of combat skills and experience.

Swish!
After a brief exchange, the two launched another attack on each other.

boom!
With a deafening bang.

Tsukasa Kadoya's body was slashed away like a kite with a broken string.

He was no match for Swartz in a head-on confrontation, but Tsukasa Kadoya did it anyway.

The reason is simple: he is putting pressure on himself and increasing the intensity of his work.

How can you improve if battles are too easy?

Since I've decided to fight for myself, I'm determined to become a true champion.

Tsukasa Kadoya will fight like a strongman, and then become stronger like a strongman.

This is Tsukasa Kadoya's greatest strength.

He is a very adaptable person; once he decides to do something, he will do it to the best of his ability.

This is why Tsukasa Kadoya is good at everything; he learns and practices everything.

His skills didn't just fall from the sky.

Each one of them started learning from scratch.

The phrase "He can do everything except take photos" is the greatest recognition of his learning ability and perseverance. At this moment, Tsukasa Kadoya is learning to become a true strongman.

He has studied everything, but he has never studied this.

Because Tsukasa Kadoya never considered himself a strong person, that's why he wanted to learn.

Rumble…

As the intensity of the battle between the two sides intensified.

Tsukasa Kadoya and Swartz were almost invisible to the naked eye.

The only evidence that the two sides were fighting was the series of explosions that echoed through the air.

The two transformed into two shooting stars, swirling and colliding in mid-air.

Every clash between the two sides unleashes an extremely terrifying shockwave.

Many buildings in the city were damaged as a result.

This kind of passive destruction is not something that Tsukasa Kadoya can control at will.

He was also helpless.

Swartz's strength was too overwhelming.

It's a miracle that Tsukasa Kadoya, who was at a disadvantage, could even manage to hold his own.

Not to mention the effortless control over the aftermath of battle.

Yun Shen had already calculated the reason for the difference in strength between the two sides.

Swartz couldn't completely overwhelm Tsukasa Kadoya; he could only suppress him.

If Swartz had been more experienced in combat, Tsukasa Kadoya would most likely have been seriously injured in the battle.

Unfortunately, he had the strength but didn't know how to use it skillfully.

This meant that Swartz could only suppress Tsukasa Kadoya, at most inflicting some minor injuries.

More severe injuries would prevent it from being done.

As the two sides fought relentlessly, Tsukasa Kadoya's power began to increase rapidly.

Swartz quickly realized this as well.

"Wait! How is your power increasing?!"

Swartz stepped back, temporarily creating distance between himself and Tsukasa Kadoya, and looked at the latter with some suspicion.

"That's a really low-level question. Do you think I lent you my strength so you could dominate me?"

"If I haven't improved, how can you be qualified to be a whetstone?"

"Now you only have one path to take, and that is to fight me, or you will surely die."

Tsukasa Kadoya did not specify the abilities of the Shura Armor; he only gave a vague reply.

This sentence contains enough information.

Swartz finally realized that he had been tricked.

He was outmaneuvered by Tsukasa Kadoya from the very beginning.

The opponent has some means of increasing their power through combat, which is why they want to be used as a whetstone.

However, Swartz realized it was too late; he had nowhere left to retreat.

Not fighting means death, while fighting helps Tsukasa Kadoya improve.

This is the most unsolvable open scheme.

No matter which option you choose, it's wrong.

But Swartz had to choose a path.

It's either death or war.

Running away is useless. Both the Shura Armor and Tsukasa Kadoya have the ability to travel through time and space.

Even if Swartz escaped through time.

Tsukasa Kadoya can catch up with him at top speed.

Swartz had nowhere to run and had no choice but to fight.

Unless he is willing to wait for death and use his own death to break Yun Shen's Sharpening Stone Plan.

This prevents Tsukasa Kadoya from receiving further upgrades.

But how could an ambitious and unyielding person like Swartz simply wait to die?

Even if there is no hope, he will fight to the death.

"So that's how it is, you vicious bastard..."

After understanding everything, Swartz gritted his teeth and glared at Tsukasa Kadoya.
