"You're here, [Gold (Gold)]"

Once, as he did when riding with his father in his childhood, Ultimia stroked [the golden thunderbolt] 's back.

…………

[Golden Thundering] remains silent, but shakes his neck according to his hand.

It was like a real horse while it was still made of raw metal.

"- Homotype machine, confirm. Long time no see, my brother. '

[The Great Storm of Emerald] threw those words at a reunion that separated more than 2000 years from [Golden Thunderstorm].

…………

In contrast, [Golden Thunder] did not respond and remained silent.

"? Are you kidding me..."

[Emerald Great Storm] leaks words like he understood something.

However, the words of [Emerald Great Storm] are blocked by Claudia on horseback.

"[Golden Thunder]... you were fixing it"

"Right. I didn't know that either, but the techs did a good job. Thanks to you...... we can still fight"

On the horse of [Golden Thunder], Ultimia sets up [Alter].

"Rearrange, Claudia."

"... Now the terms are five minutes. Instead, it's where you want it."

Thus the battle returns to air warfare across each other's brilliant jade horses.

But there's a big difference from earlier.

That's not just to say that Ultimia's ride switched from [Silver Wind] to [Golden Thunder].

"Right. But I'll only tell you one thing."

Ultimia smiled invincibly,

"In the history of the kingdom, when [Holy Sword] and [Golden Thunder] are together - there is no defeat but once."

Such a fact... I uttered a decisive difference from the previous one.

Shortly afterwards - Ultimia was packing my distance with a flash (...).

"Huh!?"

Claudia does her utmost to defend herself and receives the slash of [Alter].

However, the recirculation, which was delayed in response, was imperfect, with the sides of the spear slightly rubbed and shredded.

"[Jade]!"

Storm Acceleration

In response to Claudia's call, [Emerald Great Storm] flies forward at full speed.

To distance the two and get time to rebuild their attitude.

In contrast, the [Golden Thunder], which should have packed the distance at an incredible rate... will not follow.

No, I'm following you in normal aerial driving, but I'm not giving you the same speed as I did earlier.

Claudia and the others knew it would happen.

[Golden Thundering] is Unit One of the Brilliant Jade Horse, and the basic shape.

Since it is a fuselage specializing in omnipotence, at normal speeds it is watered down by [Emerald Great Storm] specializing in manoeuvrability.

But not just the moment I packed the previous intermission.

"[Punch God], the function now is..."

"I know. [Golden Thunder Ting] 's Electromagnetic Zone (Rail Jump)

"Electromagnetic Zone (Rail Jump)".

That is the skill for accelerating travel equipped for [Golden Thunderstorm], equivalent to "Storm Acceleration" in [Emerald Great Storm].

The identity is that electromagnetic manipulation forms an electromagnetic track (linear rail) in the atmosphere, which shoots itself out like a bullet while protecting the passenger with an electromagnetic barrier (...).

Its ejection speed far exceeds the sound speed, and only at the moment when "Electromagnetic Land" is used - the fastest seat of the brilliant jade horse moves to [Golden Thunderbolt].

"... the combination of that speed and [Alter]. Historically undefeated."

Instantly pack the distance with the thunder and wield a flash of speciality.

Instead, Claudia, who responded and recirculated in that moment, could even be said to be the weirdest.

"However, that function can only be used at short distances, and cool-time occurs for each use. Because a single use requires a huge amount of arithmetic. '

The Electromagnetic Zone is like shooting a human out with a rail gun alive.

It was rather natural that a vast number of operations were needed to ensure its safety and control its recoil.

"Yes. Then you can handle it, too. What's your offensive skill over there?

'It's not a threat. Enemy Rider's Plasma Smasher changes the potential of the surrounding atmosphere before use. If we ride it, we can sense it and read through the orbit before it radiates. And...'

"Is there anything else?

"No, we're not talking about a threat."

"Yes.... anyway, it's time to settle"

That's what Claudia says and looks right under her eyes.

The surrounding landscape looked down from the sky was like a gathering of dots, but in it Claudia did see it.

In the woods somewhere on earth...... there is a sight of [Razor] Krono Crown defeated by [Razor] Cashmere.

I didn't see the moment of settlement between the two who were fighting in the super-speed range.

But of the two people who stood opposite each other, if Chrono disappeared, that's the thing.

(The person with the highest formula for her to lose, that cashmere. Except if you use that trump card, but if you keep fighting, you can do it in case)

With the disappearance of the previous silver, Ray Sterling's death penalty is confirmed first.

But we don't know what happened to the other opponents, and some of them are the < super > Saito Moon Night and Shu Sterling.

If we don't settle this mechanism early, Behemot may be defeated and a cross spear may enter.

"I'll decide next. We'll take advantage of that Electromagnetic Zone and defeat Ultimia at the counter."

Copy that.

As confirmed, Claudia said so.

Because I know I can.

At the time of discovering [Emerald Great Storm], its performance is being examined.

He was also looking into information on [Golden Thunder Ting], which was a treasure of the kingdom.

Therefore, I know that [Emerald Great Storm] can counteract that "Electromagnetic Zone".

Measuring distance and timing from each other, two horsemen fly without leaving.

"My brother. I have one question for you. '

In the course of that move, [Emerald Great Storm] flew communications to [Golden Thunderstorm].

"The Electromagnetic Site" earlier, that was slightly slower than the catalog specs. Normal flight today is about 80% of what it should be. "

…………

That's not a wind-applied pronunciation, but due to the communication function provided for brilliant jade horses.

Compressed ultra-fast communication, carried out by its own signal.

But also, [Golden Thunder] does not respond.

"Have you even lost your communication capability after all? Looks like some of the parts have been replaced with artifacts. Your horse has greatly degraded its performance. Then it will not reach the horseman, who is in perfect condition."

…………

"Nothing like it, homozygous machine (today). My brother would still have fought better."

In a word that seeped even contempt while being a machine, [Emerald Great Storm] reputes the same type of machine (brother).

In fact, the current [Golden Thunder Ting] has a flight speed of [Second Model] above, [Silver Wind] below, and so on.

But...

"...... Ha"

To that assessment, [Golden Thunder] only leaked a different sound.

Or maybe it was just an exhaust sound.

However, [Emerald Great Storm] decided that… [Golden Thunder], which has even lost its communication capability, returned the answer: 'Laugh with your nose'.

That seeped the noise into [Emerald Great Storm] 's arithmetic... slight anger at contempt.

The determination to destroy it in the next stagger also seeps.

He said he would break the Electromagnetic Zone himself and crush it with Destruction Sky after Claudia on the horse broke Ultimia.

[The Great Storm of Emerald] waited for the opportunity…, the opportunity came unduly.

[Golden Thunder Ting] 's horse... because there was one change going on in Ultimia.

◇

…………

At the same time Claudia was witnessing the settlement of Cashmere and Chrono under her eyes, Ultimia was also watching.

From the high sky, we could see to the end of the horizon, but therefore.

I saw the king's capital raising smoke and - the royal castle like a candle lit with flames placed in its center.

The tragedy tells us that there will not be an earliest moment of respite.

Therefore, Ultimia also decided… to settle in the next merger.

Bet on everything you have.

- You're the border.

That's how she mumbles.

"- the boundary between the past (once) and the future (to come)"

Congratulations that can only be conveyed to those recognized by [Alter], from the days of the First Founding Kings, and from a far past than that.

"- All that is universal is separated before thee, and after thee."

Just like the proclamation of "Sword Drawing," the words that liberate the power hidden in [Alter].

"- No fire, no water, no wind, no earth, no life, no death, no time, no sky can escape"

Remove the second safety lock (...), give me the password.

"- To the universe, carved"

That proclamation, conveyed by [Alter] as the depths (...) of [Holy Sword Princess].

"-" Original Border One "

- I'm out of words.

――■■■■■■■■■■――

Immediately after the proclamation, [Alter] 's blade can disappear, even with the roar of the world itself screaming.

No, it's not.

Even the light that touches Alter is cut off (...), making its sword body invisible.

…………

If Ultimia moves her sword...... the space runs out to go with it (...).

Unlike [Destroyer King] 's destruction of space, the flaws of space don't block, they just keep staying there.

That's what I call nature, but it's fixed as the right way to be (...) after [Alter (...)].

It doesn't matter whether it's good or evil, whether it's there or not, just being there chops and changes the world itself.

There was more terrible power there than any demonic sword, bearing the name of [the original Holy Sword].

Previously on [Alter] was that power that literally drew a line.

It is a force that conceived self-destruction that cannot even be said to be the sword of the blades; therefore, Ultimia has never used it before.

But seeing with her own eyes the danger of those to guard, she set foot in the use.

"... ugh."

Shortly after liberation, terrible depletion strikes Ultimia.

Like previous consumption is a lie, [Alter] eats up to Ultimate Magic (MP) and Spiritual (SP) as well as Vital (HP).

Ultimia... looked to Claudia, devoured by so much recoil that she could even be eaten to her life.

"... now, I'm going to finish. Claudia."

"... Yep! Unfortunately, this one is in good hands!!"

Thus, the two riding brilliant jade horses with the two of them on board run straight towards each other.

Immediately thereafter, [Golden Thunder] will also use the Electromagnetic Site.

Ultimia and [Golden Thunder Ting] move to an excellent position at a speed that is even difficult to see while tearing up space and leaving a trajectory.

However, [Emerald Great Storm] sprayed the air and turned himself away, as if it had broken through its positioning.

"I cut it out!!"

Positioning was sensed by [Emerald Great Storm] overlapping wind curtains.

"Electromagnetic Zone" is the ability to shoot itself out as a rail gun bullet.

Therefore, the movement is limited to a straight line.

That is why [Emerald Great Storm] foresaw the angle of entry and approaching position with contact to the curtain of the wind on multiple layers.

And they sprayed the air to take even a small distance from it.

A little further than a sword's time, it becomes a spear's time, and a special ambush turns to a good opportunity for the counter.

Claudia is a Paradox Stinger that targets Ultimia's head.

- Victory.

When the internal arithmetic circuit of [Emerald Great Storm] comes to mind those two words.

"- You're right about the catalog specs. [Jade] 's'

Words like that entered through channels for communication.

"Your ride, the communication function is alive...!

During a momentary attack between the passengers, super-fast communication is exchanged between the two horsemen.

'You're right. Your performance remains as it was when it was made compared to mine, which is less than its original parts'.

'Naturally. The state of preservation of the horse is adequate and it has not been long since the reboot'

"So... it's your loss, [Jade] 's"

'Say what...'

"2569 times (...). It's the biggest difference between me and you,"

……

[The Great Storm of Emerald] doesn't know the meaning of the word.

But that is not the reason for the doubt.

For in an instant he lost sight of the [golden thunderbolt] that should have been in front of him.

And the next moment - Ultimia was at the advantage of positioning and trying to shake the blade.

"If so...!

[Emerald Great Storm] spews an error in recognizing the situation.

It was impossible.

What happened in front of me, its function to move itself in an instant….

Continuous use of "Electromagnetic shrinkage" (...)!? Impossible!? Impossible...!? '

That was impossible.

Because "Electromagnetic shrinkage" requires a huge amount of computation for each single use, continuous use is unlikely.

If it were the original catalog specs, such as continuous use... it shouldn't have been possible.

But [Golden Thunder] is... not the performance of the catalog specs when it is made.

There is a deterioration in basic performance due to the replacement of some parts with [second model],

- There is an increase in skill due to a stack of 2569 real-time battles (...).

That is the factor that has transformed the impossible into a possible reality.

Brilliant Jade Horse Unit 1, [Golden Thunder Ting] is the oldest, most basic, and most experienced brilliant jade horse in action.

He ran through numerous battles with the king as a royal national treasure, or with knights whom the king believed.

In it, [Golden Thunder] honed himself.

Improved the program, sharpened the functionality, and incorporated a historical perspective into the operation.

It was a technology that emitted the Electromagnetic Land without interference by the [Alter] held by the passengers, and it was growing enough to continuously use the Electromagnetic Land, which could only be used once at a time.

That's the biggest difference between [Golden Thunder] and [Emerald Great Storm].

It is an overwhelming, battle experience (...) difference.

"Huh!"

A second "Electromagnetic Site" close to the unexpected.

But in contrast, Claudia's talent will try to cope.

Claudia instantly cut off her second "Electromagnetic Site," and tried to intercept Ultimia herself in her second "Paradox Stinger".

But...

"- Ah."

The [Drim Rogue] she tried to stick out of - there was no tip from the middle.

Immediately afterwards, from a completely different location… the tip half of [Drim Rogue] falls from the position at the beginning of the first time.

"... to the point of completion, right?"

"Paradox Stinger" is a stunt that twists the space and changes the starting point of poking the spear.

Therefore, Ultimia outperforms it… No, breaking it by means of a natural mutation.

In other words, Claudia's interception was preceded by the cutting off of spears by twisted (...) spaces during high-speed travel by the Electromagnetic Zone.

Claudia stared at the wreckage of her own weapon and the unreachable tip only for a moment.

The body... swayed slightly.

Next to her is Ultimia, who finished shaking the blade.

"... you've made a difference."

While unraveling his depths, Ultimia said that quietly.

Or maybe it was something that labored my best friend.

"No... it's the difference between me and you."

But Claudia shakes her head and denies it.

It was Ultimia's own power that led to the victory.

Shortly after, the severed [Emerald Great Storm] horsehead and Claudia's right-hand prosthetic hand fell.

At the same time, lacerations open even on the right flank.

"My... you're losing"

Claudia admitted her own defeat…, falling to the ground with [Emerald Great Storm], who lost her head.
