Roger's empowered rifle released a powerful beam of light that charged towards Shin in a very destructive manner.
'Class Fighting Style: (Empowered) Radical Beam'
BOOM! ZONG!
But at the sa ti, Shin was repeatedly putting in and pulling out his sword from its sheath before swinging it rightwards. Together with his actions, a bunch of crescent sword waves were sent flying towards the incoming beam of light in a successive manner.
'Class Fighting Style: (Modified) Purgatory Stance'
Shing! Swoosh!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The sword waves that were sent by Shin were imdiately destroyed by the charging beam of light during their collision. But given that each sword wave was much stronger than the other, the charging of power of the radical beam dropped drastically.
Each of the collisions was quite massive as a powerful explosion was being created every ti the opposing powers clashed against each other.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The audiences couldn't help but unconsciously move their butts at the edge of their seats as they watched this scene.
They were aware that there was sothing odd going on in this match since the two players in the battle arena were too talking too much compared to the previous fights so far. But despite that being the case, their hearts couldn't help but beco shaken the mont they saw Shin and Roger used their strongest attacks from the get-go.
After a few more collisions of powers, Shin finally felt that he was running out of elental mana that he could use for a couple more crescent waves. With that, he gathered all of the remaining elental mana from his reserve before and charged them on this sheathed sword for as fast as he could.
Most of the spectators watching the scene felt that their hearts suddenly tightened especially when they saw that Shin suddenly stopped attacking and just waited for the beam of light to co after him.
Despite that beam of light losing most of its powers from the previous collisions with Shin's sword waves, its charge was still strong enough to one-shot Shin if ever he got hit by it.
Fortunately, they were quite familiar with Shin's style right now. So, they imdiately sohow cald themselves down when they saw the glowing light being released by the sheathed sword that Shin was holding.
At this point of ti, ti seed to slow down as everybody stared intensely at the match. None of them even dared to blink their eyes, afraid that they would miss the most important part of this battle.
Everyone unconsciously gulfed a mouthful of saliva as they continued to watch the charging beam of light get nearer and nearer towards Shin.
anwhile, Shin took a deep breath as he waited for the right ti to unsheathe his sword. And when the 'radical beam' reached the ideal ranged, he finally pulled the [Yamato] out from its sheath to unleash all of the elental mana that he had accumulated.
'Clash Fighting Style: (Modified) Purgatory Stance – (Thirteenth Slash) Final Crescent'
Shing!
Swoosh!
Right after Shin unsheathed his sword and drew an arc with it, a large sword wave was imdiately released from it and flew forward with an insane speed.
This particular sword wave flew so fast that no one could even get a glimpse of it when it was released by Shin. And it even sliced the beam of light without having anything resistance as if it was a hot knife cutting through butter.
Roger, who was waiting for that final attack from Shin, didn't even have enough ti to react to that final sword wave when it was finally unleashed. All he could do was to stare blankly in the air as that sword wave cut his body in half.
In the anti, Owen who was watching from the VIP room, couldn't help but have a sudden chill that ran through his back when he saw that final attack. Then he started breaking in a cold sweat when he suddenly rembered his last exchange with Shin.
"D*mn! So, that was the final sword wave?" muttered Owen with a stiff face and twitching mouth. Then he started shaking his head as he started to realize Shin's real strength. 'This guy is truly a monster in human skin.'
At the sa ti, the whole audience-stand beca dead silent once again as they stared at the battle arena with a stunned expression on their faces. The sa as earlier, all of their mouths were in total agape while their heads were trying to process what they just witnessed.
One the other hand, the online spectators who were watching the match on their screens had their eyes wide open as if they were unable to close them anymore. Even the keyboard warriors on the live chat forgot to type the words that they were saying.
It was the sa with the hosts of the different online platforms who were covering the match. All they could do was to stare blankly at the giant screens showing the match – dumbfounded and completely unable to speak anything.
It was as if soone pressed the pause button and everything suddenly stopped moving!
The remnants of Roger's radical beam were already dissipating when Roger himself started falling towards the ground. And in the very sa mont, Shin was also putting the [Yamato] back to its sheath.
Clank! Thud!
Those two soft sounds resonated in the battle arena at the sa ti. And since the whole place was currently in a dead silent state, those sounds seed to be a pair of deafening sounds that exploded so suddenly.
That was only the ti when the System announced the result of this match.
Victor: Player 'Naless Swordsman'!
As if everyone had a silent agreent, all of them suddenly exploded in an uproar at the sa ti. The whole audience stand started shaking due to their loud shouting, it was as if the silent cetery earlier suddenly transford into a busy festival street.
It was the sa for the online broadcast, every live chat was being flooded by a bunch of exclamation marks, shocked emoticons and similar things. The chat was moving up so fast to the point that even seeing a single ssage beca completely impossible.
This hype lasted for a few more minutes before everyone finally recovered themselves and started to calm down. Though, the topic of their talks and online discussion was still the recent match of this tournant.
No matter how odd the match had started, no one could escape the fashion of how it ended. Shin already stunned everyone with the insane speed that he showed in the middle of the match. But the manner in which he closed the curtain of the fight was completely on a whole other level.
Given how hot this current topic, it would sure take so ti before everything ca back to normal.
At the sa, a lot of major powers started to take note of Shin. In the early stages of the tournant, these guys were just treating Shin as a skilled player who sohow possessed a decent talent. But they were now looking at him very seriously especially after seeing his last two battles against Owen and Roger.
These superpowers started digging out all of the information that they could get regarding this mysterious 'Naless Swordsman' who now had the title of 'Angel of Death'. And together with that, these powerful guilds also sent a bunch of scouts on the Holy City of the Saint Heaven Kingdom to investigate a few more things about this certain player.
What's more, so of these superpowers seed to be very determined at recruiting Shin since they even sent so of their renowned individuals to act as their scouts.
Though, the local Major Guilds residing on the Saint Heaven Kingdom seed to expect this to happen since they imdiately started making so arrangents to keep these 'scouts' in check.
And due this incoming 'party', the Saint Heaven Kingdom would surely be going to beco a very lively place for the upcoming days.

anwhile, the man in question was sent back to his room. And the first thing that he did after arriving was to lie down on his bed, collapsing on it due to exhaustion.
Even if that last exchange with Roger looked so simple in the eyes of others, it actually put quite a huge toll on his mind and (in-ga) body – especially that final sword wave that he sent at the end of the match.
Accumulating a large amount of elental mana required a lot of concentration – what's more suppressing it until the very final mont.
A single mischief on his concentration might affect the skill activation which would result into a skill combustion – or much worse, it might even lead into a mana explosion.
Shin stared at the ceiling of the room while trying to recover himself. "Hu~… It seems like using the final slash of the 'Purgatory Stance' will drain a lot of my energy. I guess I can't use it much until I can finally use it without having any drawbacks."
He rested for a couple of monts before he finally recovered so of his ntal strength. And right after recovering, he imdiately sat up on the bed and closed his eyes, planning to enter a deep ditation state.
When he finally achieved his ideal state, he imdiately started assessing his battle earlier. Even if it was just a short exchange, he still felt so strange things when he tried to mimic Sairen's movents in that fight.
Recalling the fight, Shin started grinning widely before muttering. "Let's see what I can learn this ti."
