The bright field. The blowing wind. The shaking reeds. The lush trees. In the midst of the field filled with different types of vitalities, a celebration of a hot sun and lightning took place.

“Hup!”

I continuously kicked with legs filled with the power of the sun. My clothes fluttered as I flew through the air and zigzagged to avoid Zhen Sulong. However, Zhen Sulong saw through it. He showed off a thunderbolt-like movement and easily penetrated deeply toward me. I grabbed the wind in both hands to overcome the kick that missed.

“......!”

The wind wall stopped Zhen Sulong from approaching closer, but long-ranged attacks were possible for him. A baptism of white lightning emerged from Zhen Sulong’s two fists. The speed of the lightning bolt was so fast that it couldn’t be seen. It was a more evolved lightning dragon that was achieved through his new awakening. The white lightning dragons flew toward me, wriggling like they were alive. It was an attack that perfectly aimed at my blind spots.

I opened the power of Sun Road to prevent the lightning dragons coming from all directions. The mighty power of the sun poured out from both feet and I stepped forward vigorously with my right foot. Flying debris from the ground melted into the burning pillars of the sun that surrounded me.

I raised pillars of fire wherever the lightning dragons approached from. Accurate timing was important. The flying lightning dragons melted and disappeared like ice cream in the pillar of fire. Then the lightning dispersed like it was scattered. Luckily, I still had Prometheus’s Keen Insight so it was possible for me to do so. However, if the duration of Keen Insight was over then I would’ve been hit by several attacks.

“As expected of Brother!” Zhen Sulong gritted his and aimed his right fist at me. The huge lightning dragon roared in a straight line.

“Solar!”

I summoned Solar straight away and used Sun Explosion. Solar flew loudly and collided with the lightning dragon, creating a huge explosion. In the meantime, I ran like a flash of light. I broke through the smoke and collided with Zhen Sulong. I held the Shadow Dagger and Alexus’ Fork Spoon in my hands.

My arms moved at high speed and were like whips as I threatened Zhen Sulong. However, Zhen Sulong used his faster reflexes and counterattacked using Wing Chun. I immediately used Keen Insight to confront Zhen Sulong. We exchanged blows at high speed. Zhen Sulong only uses his fists while I used both my hands and fists to block Zhen Sulong. Then I raised the power of the black night.

“......!”

Zhen Sulong seemed to sense an extraordinary force and took two steps back. Then the black night wolves rose around him.

“When...?!”

Zhen Sulong exploded white lightning around his body and was enveloped in light. The sky became dark and dark shadows spread all over the place. I was on Fenrir’s shoulder.

Fenrir said, “You seem to always be on the battlefield.”

I laughed at Fenrir’s words. “Then why appear now?”

“I really can’t stop you. Hold on tight.”

“Hey, wait. I...”

“Shut up.”

“This guy. Listen to adults!”

Fenrir didn’t listen to me. He recognized the enemy with one glance and swung his right paw filled with cold poison at Zhen Sulong.

“...Um!”

However, Fenrir’s right arm exploded. His right shoulder was tattered and disappeared. This place was full of black night, but the one who blew the shoulder away was Zhen Sulong, who used Twelve Zodiacs Asura. The lightning bolts that poured out from his six arms were truly powerful.

“This is why I told you to listen to adults.”

The power of the black night had the darkness and ice attributes. For reference, the white lightning was influenced by Jupiter, god of light and the sky, so it had the attributes of light and lightning. This meant—

“He is your nemesis.”

The Zodiac animals jumped at Fenrir’s groaning body. Dragon, tiger, chicken, snake, rabbit, pig, etc. Hundreds of night wolves flew at the lightning animals and Zhen Sulong.

Chaos unfolded as light and darkness tangled together.

“Uwah. Isn’t this a monster feast?”

“It is a bloody dogfight, they’re not playing around.”

“Isn’t this really crazy? Uhahaha.”

Kim Hyeonu, Kim Haeil, and Park Jangsoo stared at the screen in front of them with disbelieving expressions. Lim Sara and Mido had tense faces. Eun Jeonghyeok and the other players had clenched fists and tight lips as they stared at the screen that was always changing. It was the same for Park Muyeol.

“...Um.” Park Muyeol sighed from where he was sitting on the bench. Right now, Park Muyeol’s eyes were brighter than ever.

‘Zhen Sulong...’

The fight with Zhen Sulong earlier was one that he truly wanted to win for the first time in ages. Zhen Sulong was truly strong and he was a person with the right skills and personality. However, Park Muyeol lost. Thus, he was even angrier. He was ashamed of himself for not being stronger.

‘I heard he is crazy about training.’

The first time he heard about this person from Choi Chuntaek, Choi Chuntaek defined Zhen Sulong with a few simple words.

Just a crazy person. A maniac who was crazy for training. Still, he was a good little brother. There was a strong belief that he would reach the top by sticking to only one road.

This was Park Muyeol’s impression when fighting with Zhen Sulong. It was due to this that...

‘Don’t lose, Chuntaek.’

He couldn’t imagine Choi Chuntaek losing. He wanted this person to always remain his idol. Perhaps it was the greed of an elderly old man with an old body. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help wanting to be greedy.

‘Sigh. Zhen Sulong truly isn’t an easy opponent.’

In Park Muyeol’s eyes, Choi Chuntaek could be seen moving at high speed in the wind.

In the US team’s waiting room, at Union Square...

“Who do you think is going to win?” Damian asked Michael, who was standing next to him.

“...I don’t know yet.”

“Still, who will you choose?”

Michael was troubled for a moment by Damian’s question. If he was in this situation right now—

If he was fighting Lightning God, Zhen Sulong, or Dark Wolf, Choi Chuntaek, who would be stronger?

Michael organized the thoughts in his head and replied, “The one with a stronger belief.”

“Belief? It is an unexpected answer.”

“Who has a more solid belief? This is the key.”

Damian smiled at Michael. Why not say he didn’t know who would win instead of speaking so much? Damian shrugged his shoulders, took a deep breath and shifted his gaze back to the TV. It was very important to see who would be the US team’s opponent in the finals.

‘If Zhen Sulong wins, I have to plan a strategy for China who has excellent individual skills. However, if South Korea wins...’

Hah.

Damian sighed again. It seemed like it would be a difficult fight.

‘There are too many variables if South Korea wins. Just look at Park Muyeol previously.’

Either way, it was clear that it would be a difficult fight. Therefore, Damian hoped that one person would win one-sidedly. That way, he would be able to develop a strategy in his head. However, Damian’s wish was crushed as Choi Chuntaek and Zhen Sulong fought in an unparalleled manner on the screen. It was like watching a monster disaster movie.

‘The one who has a stronger belief...’

Damian’s mind spun around and around. It felt like he had been given homework that couldn’t be solved.

* * *

The fight turned into a long battle. It seemed to have lasted for almost 30 minutes. In fact, the situation was still the same now.

“......!”

The fast-paced blade wind flew all over the place. He had always felt that his brother’s Wind Flying Kick Technique was truly admirable. It was only when he became the lightning god that he could barely keep up with his brother’s wind. Otherwise, he would’ve been hit in an instant like the Colosseum in the past.

“Hup!”

Zhen Sulong once again released his lightning. He avoided the wind-like attack with quick movements. Choi Chuntaek saw it and also felt admiration.

“Hah.”

Choi Chuntaek felt sweat dripping down his back as he watched the flashy Zhen Sulong. The duration of Keen Insight was over and he couldn’t use it anymore. He could only believe in his maximized super sensitivity. Fenrir’s summoning had been released along with the zodiac animals.

The two of them were the only ones left. Choi Chuntaek jumped into the air and opened the sun and wind. The sun and wind met and caused flames to burn endlessly through the area. What followed was a giant sun dragon rising from Choi Chuntaek’s feet.

“Um.”

Zhen Sulong also gathered a huge amount of lightning in his right hand like he wasn’t going to lose to Choi Chuntaek. It was like a thousand birds were chirping. A sun dragon and the bird-like Zhen Sulong met. The battle continued as they reached each other and struggled for strength.

A terrible tension flowed between the two of them.

The sun dragon surrounded Zhen Sulong’s body and tried to melt it while Zhen Sulong aimed a fist that contained everything, as if he was trying to tear the sun dragon apart. The confrontation continued.

‘...Teacher.’

Suddenly, Zhen Sulong thought of Yang Mun. Maybe now was the time to use everything. His teacher’s words about thunderbolt seemed to echo in his heart.

Duguen!Duguen!

His heart started beating wildly. The difference between lightning and thunderbolt shook in his head. Lightning was merely burning flesh, while thunderbolt burned flesh and brought fear to the enemies.

It happened as Zhen Sulong felt something being engraved on his chest...

Thunderbolts started to form at the end of Zhen Sulong’s fist.
