Another World Mall-Chapter 638: Endurance
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Matthew kept striking Ragna in rapid succession, preventing him from hitting back.
However, Ragna managed to block all those attacks with his shield, even though he got pushed back so far.
Still, not a single attack actually landed on Ragna, showing Matthew that they could do this for a whole day long, but he would never be able to take him down.
The one with the most stamina would win. And considering Ragna was defending, she would be the one coming out on top.
"Kh." Matthew became even more frustrated. Ragna should have gone down and given the win to him.
On the other hand, Ragna couldn't help but recall the time he spent with Clovis.
Clovis' attack was much more powerful, especially with his unique ability. His speed was lacking, and the technique wasn't as dangerous.
Defending against such an opponent shouldn't be that hard.
However, Ragna could see that the people were getting bored. Even Utaha wouldn't know what else to say soon.
Besides, he also wanted to fully utilize his physique, like what Ezekiel said.
Hence, Ragna abruptly stopped the next slash with his spear.
"!!!" Matthew looked surprised at first, but there was no way he would waste such an opportunity. He hurriedly twisted his wrist and struck Ragna's exposed arm.
Unfortunately for him, the scale was stopped once again by the scale. Then, Matthew took advantage of his speed to slash Ragna's chest, leaving behind a small wound.
In exchange, Ragna was able to bang his shield on his head.
He had taken a hit from someone with a higher level, so there was nothing that Matthew could do.
That was why Ragna finally opened his stance a bit.
Matthew didn't know what Ragna was planning, but he utilized this opportunity and struck Ragna multiple times.
But Ragna's intention became clear the moment the next attack struck. Ragna actually pierced Matthew by using the gap in his movement when he attacked him.
His spear almost struck his gut, but Matthew managed to tilt his body at the last second, causing the spear to scrape only a bit of his flesh.
Then, he used the gap in Ragna's movement and struck him again, only to find Ragna taking advantage of the situation to launch another attack.
"!!!" Matthew was in utter shock. He finally realized what Ragna was doing.
"He is quite reckless…" Clovis squinted his eyes.
"Why do you think he is reckless? This is how I normally fight." Ezekiel smirked. "You need to know which attack you can withstand and which one can kill you immediately.
"By polishing that instinct, you will be able to differentiate between the two in an instant. More importantly, due to our regeneration, the wound would simply heal itself.
"…" Clovis squinted his eyes. He couldn't really deny that point. "Still, it's quite worrying that he is treading such a thin line between life and death constantly."
Ezekiel nodded. "That's something I agree with. However, if you don't become reckless like this, you won't get stronger.
"Only after utilizing every single bit of your talent can you reach Tier 8. That's why this is necessary.
"Besides, you have been training with him as well, no?"
"I just became a Tier 4 not long ago, so I wanted a sparring partner. Ragna was simply lucky that I really needed his help." Clovis looked away.
"Hahaha. Let's leave it at that. However, this is the end of the battle." Ezekiel closed his eyes.
Clovis nodded in agreement.
Once Matthew was locked into this type of battle, there was no escaping it. Ragna kept hitting him while taking care of all his attacks.

However, Ragna chose to be a bit reckless. Instead of blocking his attack, he received them. As a result, it also lowered the chance for Matthew to stop his attack as well.
Even if Matthew could hit him three times while Ragna only managed to hit him once, Ragna's wound could easily disappear while Matthew had to endure that wound for the entire duration of the match.
The longer the battle lasted, the higher Ragna's chance to win.
'Why are you not going down? Your body is already covered in injuries.' Matthew screamed inwardly while slicing Ragna.
Ragna simply took another hit before punching Matthew and breaking his nose.
'Just give up. I have fought against Clovis after he became a Tier 4. He is much more amazing than you. I will win. I have to. I'm tired of giving up and accepting my fate.' Ragna gritted his teeth.
Even though the wound was recovering, his brain kept registering the pain and damage. If it were anyone else, they would have been screaming in the arena.
But this wound just made him remember her past. The kids or thugs beat him up even if he asked them to stop.
Although he didn't say it, Ragna was able to endure pain much better than the others.
The battle turned into an intense match, with both of them determined to succeed. Even if their bodies were covered in injuries, they didn't wish to be the first one to fall.
This was the battle of will, and they planned to win.
With all those wounds, the referees were raising their guard to the highest level, making sure that no one would get hurt.
"It has become a battle of endurance and determination, huh?' Ezekiel pinched the bridge of his nose. "To think that the situation reaches this point. With their wounds, they might not be able to launch another clever attack. In other words, it has become a battle of endurance.
"Although Ragna's wound will heal, with his condition worsening, it will take a longer time to recover.
"However…" Ezekiel squinted his eyes.
Ragna's spear actually snapped after getting hit by Matthew's sword.
"!!!" Matthew smiled, thinking this was the chance to gain the victory. He hurriedly struck Ragna, trying to defeat him.
Still, the referee didn't come out, so he had to continue until the referee deemed it was enough.
Unfortunately for him, the spearhead that was sent flying a moment ago fell right in front of Ragna. He grabbed it and tried to pierce Matthew's head.
