“With my weakest, I’ll defeat your invincibility!” Ikki said his trademark quote.
Tsukasa rely smiled and said, “Don’t say sothing like that. What if you’re defeated?”
However, neither of them was in the mood to continue their conversation since everything would be determined at this mont.
Everyone held their breaths, afraid to let out a single noise from their mouth. The intensity of their battle was just too intense to bear, and they felt they were almost suffocated.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Suddenly, Ikki released a loud warcry from the top of his lungs!
It might seem weird why he released such a warcry since it didn’t fit his personality. However, he had to do this. The audience might not realize it, and only the people who stood in front of him might understand this feeling.
When Tsukasa stood in front of him, Ikki felt his aura choke him!
Whether it was his nose, mouth, or every part of his body was choked, and his lower body was dragged by sothing to the bottomless quagmire. Even if he was 20 tis stronger than he was usually, it couldn’t erase the pressure that ca from Tsukasa!
His warcry was one of his desperate attempts to shake this feeling.
By shouting at the top of his lungs, Ikki was able to regain his confidence!
Still, Ikki knew that shouting nothing would change anything, and even his Ittou Shura was useless in front of Tsukasa.
Ittou Shura was a Noble Art Ikki created by his desperate attempt to let all the energy on his body explode in just a minute.
Then Ikki started to think, ‘What if he compressed it even shorter?’
What if he compressed this technique into a single second?
Ikki made up his mind and quickly abandoned everything that distracted him.
Vision, taste, hearing, touch, sll, all of his senses were cut off. Ikki even cut off his breath since it distracted him. Abandoning all of those things, he concentrated on the strength left over. All of his flesh. All of his brain. All of his blood. All of his cells, everything from them.
Vitality, stamina, magic power, and potential, Ikki mustered all that he had into a single mont!
At that very mont, Ikki broke past his limit!
Watching this scene, Tsukasa must admit why Ikki was called a protagonist. While he wondered how soone could get stronger when one just cut off their senses and body function, the strength of Ikki at this mont was just too ridiculous!
It wouldn’t be weird to say Ikki was invincible at this second!
By using Ittou Shura, Ikki’s strength was amplified by 20 tis, then adding this technique. As a result, his strength was multiplied by another ten tis!
In other words, Ikki was 200 tis stronger than his original!
Ikki’s base was a Level 3 adventurer, and by multiplying it 200 tis, Tsukasa wondered how strong Ikki had beco.
Tsukasa must admit Ikki had a chance to defeat him at this mont.
However…
‘I don’t want to lose.’
There was no way for him to lose.
No, Tsukasa didn’t want to lose!
By then, Tsukasa put all of his power, releasing them without hesitation, before he focussed it on his sword, and then he didn’t hesitate to use this strongest sword technique.
Formless has always been his basis, using his sword freely, with his left or right hand.
In other words, Tsukasa could use various techniques and combine them into his original.
However, Formless was a strike type of technique, and frankly, Tsukasa couldn’t see how this technique was able to beat Ikki, who had beco 200 tis stronger. Still, his trip to another world and his fight with Nene had given him the birth of a new technique.
It was a counter-attack technique that was suitable to be used in this situation.
When Ikki mustered up his everything, Tsukasa was also the sa.
Yet, unlike Ikki, which was as intense as the storm, Tsukasa was still immovable. He was like a reef under the tempestuous sea, standing firmly, no matter how strong the waves, currents, or the wind were.
Then, suddenly, everyone saw a unique or strange stance used by Tsukasa. He held the sword horizontally and pointed backward, holding it with the other hand and gripping the back of the blade with his two fingers. He didn’t move and just stood there, waiting for Ikki to co in his direction.
Ikki also answered his taunt by charging with all of his might!
Similar to Ikki, Tsukasa also shut off the information around him and focused on his sense of sll. While it was pretty shaful, he must admit if he didn’t do this, he would lose. After all, the enhancent of Ikki’s strength was just too ridiculous.
Yet sohow, Tsukasa didn’t hate this kind of confrontation.
Instead, Tsukasa loved it so much!
If one saw the two, they would see a big contradiction between them.
While Ikki released such a loud war cry, his face was solemn, full of seriousness, as if he was about to welco his death.
On the other hand, while Tsukasa was quiet, his face was full of smiles, almost child-like. It might not be wrong to say that he was like a child excited about getting a gift during Christmas. Yet when he said the word of his technique, everything was solemn.
“Kamui (Void).”
Ikki was like a tsunami that ca to destroy everything. He was unstoppable and couldn’t be stopped no matter what. His blade was enough to match a catastrophe, yet when Tsukasa’s voice felt, he might feel the world stopped for a mont.
Ikki might have shut down all of his senses, but he was still able to notice his surroundings by using his intuition.
When Ikki was about to co, Tsukasa let go of his blade.
It was just a mont, everything turned gray, and only the black flash was seen in the world.
Two great eruptions clashed against each other, like a force of nature, a catastrophe whose purpose was only to destroy everything.
Tsukasa suddenly realized a miscalculation since Ikki’s speed was faster than he had imagined. In that desperate ti, a door suddenly appeared in his mind and opened a possibility that he had never thought of before. The space before him suddenly beca the extension of his blade, and he believed he could win.
Ikki was about to decapitate Tsukasa, but he saw Tsukasa’s blade suddenly co, stuck on the back of his blade, and diverted in its direction to the side. Yet this wasn’t what surprised him the most since he realized he saw another blade co at the sa ti.
‘Wh—?????????’
Ikki was full of questions because of this bizarre scene.
Tsukasa only swung a single blade, yet two blades ca from him.
How?
However, no one could answer Ikki’s question since he realized what kind of danger he was about to encounter.
When one blade diverted Ikki’s blade, the other blade slashed Ikki’s defenseless chest.
By then, the color of the world had returned, and the result of the match had been settled.
No one still dared to breathe and watch this battle with almost fanatical concentration. It wasn’t until one of them fell to the ground that everyone realized who was victorious.
Ikki was on his knees and fell to the ground, defeated.
Tsukasa stood tall before he re-sheathed his blade into the sheath and beca the winner of this duel.
“The-The winner is Kugayama Tsukasa!!!”
“OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
The cheers of the audience drowned everything, yet sohow Tsukasa felt empty and murmured, “It’s not enough.”
