62 – Fighting with Yourself

“What are you fiddling with behind your back? Are you trying to ask for help from the lady you cherish like your life? Are you really okay?”

Although she had already noticed Kang So-yeong’s request for help, she didn’t care and showed an arrogant attitude, saying, “If you want to try it, do it.”

Kang So-young felt an unknown disgust at the face that looked at her with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, but on the other hand, she was relieved by her conceited appearance.

“You already know that, right? Even if she is Choi Soo-jung, she has been training and watching since she was young, so if it’s me now, at least it’s possible to die together? Are you still trying to call me? Poisonous, poisonous.”

The doppelganger spoke to Kang So-young in a voice full of ridicule.

But Kang So-young just stared at her, she didn’t answer, she thought quietly.

‘Looks like she hasn’t read her memories of Wonwoo at all.’

Soyoung Kang’s observation so far is that her doppelgänger learns from the start all the things that she values greatly in her transformed subject.

As soon as she changed into Kang So-yeong, her past and Choi Soo-jung, which she did not want to mention, came up first, so she was certain.

On the other hand, she seemed to be able to get things like small pieces only by thinking about them through others, such as seeing or hearing them.

The proof is the previous two attacks. It was possible to guess from the way she spoke, as if she had learned something she didn’t know.

In other words, if the doppelgänger was not provided with peripheral information, he would not be able to recall it on his own, so he would not be able to notice it.

‘Should this be considered fortunate? Still, she properly acknowledged Wonwoo and was feeling grateful.’

Kang So-young laughed bitterly inwardly.

Although my feelings toward Lee Won-woo have changed a lot, I was able to unintentionally confirm once again that the burden he carries in my heart is too large, so the proportion of him is not high.

But she thought it was good that thanks to that, she could call the most suitable person to deal with the doppelganger in front of her.

‘I hope someday we can reveal all the burdens we are carrying.’

While drawing such a small hope, the doppelganger turned his head and said.

“Okay then. I’m bored until I come, so I wonder if I should fight more with myself. I need to taste more of my abilities.”

Then she stretched out her hand and summoned a purple dagger identical to the one in Soyeong Kang’s hand.

Kang So-yeong frowns at the unexpected summoning of a dagger. She never expected that even a doppelgänger would be able to duplicate and use even weapons.

As if the reaction was amusing, the doppelganger laughed and said.

“hahahaha! Were you embarrassed? It’s funny because it’s quite a reaction for you. Yeah i wanted something like this Go ahead and prove that you are real.”

Kang So-young bit her lower lip slightly at the words of her doppelgänger, who spoke as if she already knew everything about her.

But she didn’t mean to fool around by giving away more information before Lee Won-woo came, so she was just wary and didn’t take any action.

The best thing to do now is not to recall information about Lee Won-woo.

It was obvious that she would hide her body if she found out about Lee Won-woo.

If that happens, it will be impossible to find the doppelganger.

Because she is currently a doppelgänger that copied her own abilities, Kang So-young was proud that her ability to hide and run away is at a level that even her S-class cannot easily find.

“Okay then. Let’s play until Choi Su-jeong comes.”

A doppelganger holding a dagger in reverse and speaking in a slightly excited voice. Kang So-young also looked at the same posture.

While facing each other like a mirror, it was the doppelganger who came out first.

A doppelganger that slowly erases its appearance in front of its eyes. Undaunted, Kang So-yeong circled behind her and brandished her dagger.

The doppelganger that came out of Kang So-young’s shadow also struck back with a dagger as if it were natural.

Kang So-young starts to be pushed back as they enter into a power struggle to push each other’s daggers against each other.

‘As expected.’

As expected, the blade of her dagger gradually turned towards herself due to the pushing power of the augmented doppelganger, which was lacking in herself.

She twisted her body in response and at the same time quickly landed her restraining kick to keep them from coming any closer and distanced herself.

A normal opponent would not have been able to catch up here, but the doppelganger, who had the same agility as Kang So-young, stretched out his foot, matched the folding speed, and followed suit, stabbing the dagger at the scruff of his neck.

Kang So-young hurriedly used her own flexibility in response to her unexpected attack and threw her body behind her, which she barely escaped.

Regardless, the doppelgänger threw her fist at Soyoung Kang’s arched body.

At that moment, Kang So-young tightened her hands on the floor and spurred her legs, using her recoil to lift her body and cast her back in the air.

She stepped back as if in shock as So-Young Kang’s feet got stuck in her doppelgänger’s chin, while So-Young Kang landed and moved to distance her.

However, despite her shock, the doppelgänger threw his dagger at Kang So-yeong as if he would not allow that.

Poof.

Aware of her doppelgänger’s aggression, Soyoung Kang twisted her head to dodge the dagger that flew rapidly between her own eyebrows.

And losing her aim, her dagger got stuck in the tree behind her.

“Whoa….”

Kang So-yeong caught her breath, wary of the doppelganger in front of her. It was a short time, but due to the exchange of battles in an instant, beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.

On the other hand, the doppelgänger clapped with admiration as if nothing had happened and said.

“Hey, they dodged it all while counterattacking. To be honest, by my standards, I don’t have a high level of ability no matter how I look at it. Amazing.”

“Don’t judge me carelessly because I always lived a fake life.”

Unheard of, Kang So-young glared at her doppelgänger and coldly threw a word.

“… A fake life? Is this crazy?”

The doppelgänger, who continued to laugh and scratch her nerves, glared at Kang So-young, erasing her smiling face for the first time.

Noticing that her mood had changed, Kang So-young raised her alertness and thought.

She said she didn’t know if she would be able to withstand the next attack.

Her side, which had just been hit, gradually screamed and the pain grew.

Her body was shaking little by little from her pain, but she was trying her best not to be caught.

As long as it hurts, it will try to survive, but the opponent is a doppelganger with the same movement and speed as himself.

I confirmed just before that I was rather overwhelmed by her power.

On the other hand, because of his injury, he has no choice but to react slightly slower.

In the end, a one-on-one match was won by a single point, so from Kang So-young’s point of view, it could be seen that a hopeless situation was developing.

‘Wonwoo-nim should come soon.’

While she was thinking about that, Kang So-young laughed as she tried to rely on Lee Won-woo.

I didn’t usually get along well, and I hadn’t seen him for a long time, but it was strange that he was recognized, trusted, and accepted.

Growing up, she always had distrust of humans except for her mother and daughter whom she served.

But Lee Won-woo was different.

I watched him for a short time, but there were no lies in his words and actions. He lived according to his convictions no matter what his life was threatened.

A good person to go anywhere.

That was the evaluation when he first got to know Lee Won-woo under the direction of Choi Soo-jung.

After that, she saved Choi Soo-jung’s life twice and shone in a moment of crisis, but she did not respond to the numerous rumors and scandals.

I just silently tried to go my own way, and when I was sure of what he had promised, I immediately confessed to Soo-jung Choi.

As a result, he recently proved that he wasn’t wrong after all.

Because I watched the process, I couldn’t help but build trust.

He had no doubt that he would win the doppelgänger that had turned into him.

“Are you laughing? How dare you say such a thing!”

The doppelgänger reached for the dagger stuck in the tree. The dagger flew at high speed and landed in the doppelganger’s hand.

‘Is this an opportunity?’

Perhaps he thought that the doppelganger was laughing at him, he shouted with a voice full of anger.

In a combat situation, emotional disturbance always acts as a big variable. Whether that is a good direction or a bad direction.

It was the first teaching given by a master who is no longer in the world.

‘Let’s do it.’

I tried to hold out until Lee Won-woo came, but Kang So-yeong was at a disadvantage when she saw her doppelganger trying to attack at any time, as if she had stabbed her doppelganger’s painful part, but in the end, she decided to fight.

With the intention of killing the opponent in front of me, as always, rather than enduring.

As if reflecting that, Kang So-young rushed first.

Kang So-young moving quickly from side to side to give her confusion. However, the doppelganger also moved the same and quickly caught up with Kang So-young’s movements.

As a result, while giving away the side, the area around the heart was exposed to the dagger stabbed by the doppelganger.

“Die, b*tch!”

A heartfelt attack with intent to kill. As it was already expected, Kang So-yeong quickly twisted her shoulder to avoid it.

“Ugh.”

But at the moment of her movement, as she moved later than usual due to the pain from the injury, the blade grazed near her chest and tore her shirt.

The doppelganger’s eyes turned to Kang So-young and said as if he found something interesting.

“Oh, do you think there is an aftermath from the previous hit? Slow!”

And then, the dagger stabbed her chest again.

Ting.

Kang So-yeong calmly cut off the tip of her dagger in her obvious trajectory. She threw her fist at her doppelganger, her body losing its center of gravity for a moment.

However, the doppelgänger, which lightly avoided the attack by using the recoil to flexibly rotate her body, settled down on Kang So-young’s side again.

After that, she swung her dagger from above and below her, aiming for Kang So-young’s forehead.

The distance between the two is so close that even avoiding it is impossible. But from the beginning, Soyoung Kang was thinking only about this.

He threw the dagger he was holding onto the ground and reached out with both hands to catch the blade of the falling dagger.

“What is this… ?”

A doppelganger who is embarrassed by Kang So-yeong who uses a ridiculous method.

This method was chosen because it was predictable enough because it was a doppelganger with natural body vision and the same attack method as Kang So-young.

It was a dangerous method that could kill you right away if you failed, but if you attacked first, you would lose anyway.

‘In the end, I ended up choosing a method similar to Wonwoo.’

A style that uses a trump card at the last moment to turn things around. It’s a fighting style that doesn’t suit the assassin Kang So-young at all, but I ended up using it in the end, probably influenced by Lee Won-woo.

But now, the result of taking that risk was right in front of me.

“Haap!”

Still holding her dagger, Kang So-young jumped up and attacked her doppelgänger’s chin with her resentment, using her knee.

Puck.

A doppelganger who fell backwards as his body leaned over from an attack so strong that a loud sound could be heard.

And not to miss that golden moment, Kang So-yeong rushed in front of her.
