Loud noises began to seemingly tear through my ears.

'Fuck. What the hell is it?'

I couldn't figure out why the story of the masked trash of the first round kept being shown to me. The sensation that made my head spin was confusing as well.

I opened my eyes and looked at Kim Hyunsung and Thronus, but it seemed like the screens had now been intermingled.

Kim Hyunsung kept swinging his sword, and the alcoholic pigeon blocked his attacks. The surrounding landmarks were visibly losing their shape since everything was exploding in all directions.

The problem was that I couldn't tell which timeline I was in.

'What is this? Is it the second round now?'

No.

'I think it just switched to the first round? The second round again?'

I couldn't tell the first round and the second apart. Scenes were constantly being transmitted to my brain. Should I judge the timelines to be playing the same scene? The two seemed to be having the same fight as in the first round.

The only thing that I could distinguish between the first and the second round was the wings behind Kim Hyunsung's back. Even that was difficult to determine if it was real.

However, their desperation was clear at the very least.

'He's strong.'

In the first round, Kim Hyunsung was strong.

'How can he be like that?'

He was showing similar movements even without accepting Lucifer's power. Instead, he seemed faster, like a very well-forged sword.

Kim Hyunsung in the first timeline deftly reminded me of that. Without cumbersome wings or dark power, he stood up against one of those called the Four Archangels.

The alcoholic pigeon fighting against Kim Hyunsung wasn't an easy opponent either.

'You say Thronus is the weakest among the four angels?'

That was complete and utter nonsense.

At least it felt like that to my eyes. Thronus was strong. His swordsmanship was significant enough to be comparable to Kim Hyunsung, or even more than that.

The way he utilized his long sword made me worried that it would feel too much for Hyunsung. He certainly seemed different from ordinary angels.

He was different from Cherubim, who was fighting Cha Hee-ra, and Dominions, who was bound with Lee Jihye. What he was using was certainly human abilities, but he had never learned from anyone. Hence, I thought he would have learned it himself.

The angel who admired human beings learned human skills as a result and had risen to the stage. I thought the scene I witnessed of the first timeline was most likely after he developed his strength.

Baaaaaaaaang!!!

Craaaaash!

Crack!!

The two didn't talk, both in the first round and the second round. They could've provoked each other to shake their minds, but the bastards seemed to prefer just swinging their swords in silence.

If it were me, I would have taunted my opponent all I wanted. I couldn't decipher if the two swordsmen communicated with their weapons, but what was certain was that their battle was undoubtedly becoming longer - and Thronus had the upper hand.

'Is Hyunsung losing?'

My vision was switched entirely to the first timeline, and I immediately noticed Kim Hyunsung's face getting stiffer. This was after Thronus introduced a new swordsmanship technique.
