Both hands holding the sword are heavy. The fatigue just increases when the tip of the sword is set up so that it does not fall back.

Even Harold, who is usually loaded with workouts out of the ordinary track, was approaching the limit of his health.

It has already been over an hour since the battle began. If you just fight, you can do it with that degree of problem-free, but if life goes hand in hand in a serious battle, and the other person has the strength of you and each other, the story changes. It is not mentally advisable to use a long sword for a long time.

Attacks that are unleashed by stitching gaps, even if they are above speed, are powerful enough to determine victory or defeat if you eat even one shot properly. Even though that's just troublesome, the accuracy of that blow is increasing.

I've already inevitably guarded it a few times, but let my arm strength and mass say things through the damage from the top of my defense. I had little grip on my badly paralyzed left hand because of it and had already removed the black straight sword.

I felt safe knowing that I could manage to prevent it because even the worst guard I could have been slaughtered and become a Buddha as it was, but still my whole body would be swollen and my face would be distorted by pain.

The constant breath and the appearance of Harold seeping blood all over the body of what is not fatally wounded is just a full-blown creation. By then the battle against Fincent had been extremely intense.

Fincent wields a long-footed sword reminiscent of the horse-slashing knife Zanban. No matter how big the sword is from the free time, it is not the ultimate distance to reach, but its full body wraps around a pale blue aura. Recognizing it, Harold jumped back and spread the time further.

Fincent waves down his sword to slap him to the ground, not to mention that he doesn't mind such a thing.

Severe crushing sound. the ground cracks and turns up brilliantly of things.

That alone shows that it is ridiculously powerful, but the fate of this attack is separate. Immediately after Fincent slaps the sword, there is a distortion of space around Harold. The identity was created by Fincent's sword pressure, high-density compressed air.

The next moment it plasmas, involves the surroundings and explodes.

"Blasting Dust Sword" Bukujinkan "

It is one of Fincent's moves, which also appears in the original, and for him is one of the few means of attack other than close range.

Harold dodging that right there. Not that aggressive in the game, but that only means “not for Fincent," not a good move to eat.

Above all, only one plasma about a meter in diameter occurs at a defined distance in the game, but here it occurs randomly, in a fan-shaped range from the point where the sword was waved down. It is difficult to avoid the range of effects of the moves on top that is exceptionally wider than the original. Because it takes just under a second or so for distortion to occur in the air to plasma and explode.

There is a very high risk of being chased from there if you eat even once.

Why would I just wave down my sword and generate plasma! and a complaint like that is about to pop out of my mouth by putting myself up on the shelf fighting with speed and movement like I threw the laws of physics.

If we think calmly, it was each other, and this kind of part was a fantastic world to make.

But it looks like it's being pushed, and the truth is the situation is antagonistic. Based on the fact that Fincent is injured more than Harold, we might call it an advantage.

Thorough hit-and-away tactics have allowed them to accumulate damage while continuing to target gaps in armor and thin areas of armor. The hardware under the armor, which would be internal armor, has also been demolished.

Fincent also sees quite a scratch and bleeding in the evidence.

(Yet it's strange that you don't move dull...!

On the contrary, I have been dealing with Harold's movements. As the saying goes, there seems to be no reason or self to come back with a catacotto saying that "elimination is the top priority", so if you think that you ignore pain and fatigue, you can't be convinced that the quality of the movement will not diminish.

But if you're in such a state, isn't it usually something that has more flavor or monotonous movement? Fincent's expressionless has something that leads to Lilium and Wentus, but it's not as mechanical and linear a fight as they are.

Create a gap with restraint and agitation from outside the intermission and jump in there to attack and leave. That was the original Harold operation. By the way, he jumped in when he flipped back to some extent. He matched the counter with Harold.

If that offense is avoided and the offense continues, from there Fincent has used the counter for a feint and aligned the offense with the earlier Harold who dodged it.

Exactly this was inevitable and it blew up a few meters because it was prevented by a sword.

If Lilium and the others are working robots that turn back a determined move, Fincent is a robot that learns in AI to change movement. That's about the difference.

In fact, Harold's offense was getting harder to get through compared to the beginning.

(... Wait, wait, are you seriously learning?

I've thought about it as an analogy story, but the nasty feeling of having possession of Harold and then doing it at a high median gives me a neck.

If that were the case, there would be a killing machine in front of you that is not frightened by the attack, keeps moving even at the cost of damage, and learns the opponent's movements. Besides, he also has high performance, so his attack power is like a single hit, and his defense is as hard as a fort.

Besides, the original knowledge doesn't make much sense either because the battle pattern is different from the game due to the brainwashing state.

"Ha, what's wrong with that"

A soliloquy I threw up to behave like a temperament. But that also turns into something confident and winnable if Harold squeals.

It may be a strange story, but that makes Harold himself - brave Ichi.

If few known patterns of behavior exist, you can induce them to make them.

If you're going to learn this move, you're going to have to use it.

Harold Stokes can do that. I know that myself more than anyone else.

I laughed deliberately and invincibly to inspire myself. At the next moment, you ride from a stopped position to top speed at once.

Aerial dash. The first time I used it in action I fought the demon mentor Ritzelt of the Sarian Empire. At that time he was considerably forced to accelerate and redirect in the air, but after a few months since then Harold has completely made high-speed three-dimensional manoeuvres his thing.

Speed itself is not the ratio then either. But in this battle, Fincent tried to accommodate the speed.

Still, Harold jumped into his nostalgia knowing it would be read. Kick the ground at the highest speed, kick more in the air from the jumped position and take the back.

Aim is the neck muscle. Of course, such steeples are covered with armor, but the purpose is not to kill or do damage, but to “slash" itself. And Fincent took that blow with his left arm cage hand, as Harold expected.

Fincent guards with his cage hand against the first attack he sees since the battle began. Turning the attack back from the exact same move twice or three times, in that third time Fincent has switched from receiving by cage hand to counter.

Avoid it and strike as you circle behind it again.

Fincent has released his back fist with his left arm to pay for it. Behavior to restrain the opponent's attack rather than attack it.

Nevertheless, it is also quite sharp and powerful because the sword is not gripped. Besides, if you eat that, you'll lose your posture and there's a chase waiting for you by the Great Sword.

But Harold dares to take it while he knows it. It's not as powerful as an attack by the Great Sword, it's a power you have to be prepared for one or two bones if you're defenseless.

And in the next moment, the slaughter of fate waves down. It is also conceivable that if you try to take this, you will not be able to fight in one blow, and you will die at worst as it is.

Harold avoids such a blow at critical intervals.

But if you're supposed to jump backwards, step forward with a sword to be swung down and a piece of paper.

It was a bet. I can't afford to turn back. If the timing was even slightly delayed, it would have been double-crossed from the back of the head, or back.

I might not have been able to fight without my sword's increased combat abilities. Still, Harold scratches his first blind line as he feels the ground crumble.

Behind Fincent, even if it goes through it again.

But I couldn't fight back. It was a flash of defense in time, but it therefore required a high degree of concentration and only avoided. It was difficult to get an instant offensive posture from there, although not very much.

Harold vacates Fincent's time to re-divide. Now the current move won't work anymore. The prolonged fighting is caused by the fact that after trying various hands while attacking each other in this way, they learned the pattern of action without being dealt decisive damage.

And roughly for the third time, Fincent responds to Harold's movements.

(That's why it's the third time I've set up "...")

Breathe and return a series of moves ready to die. The second time was even more pronounced, and the wind-cut sound of the Great Sword passing beside his head was heard louder than earlier. A slice of clothing that would have been slashed off, if I had seen it, had fallen at Fincent's feet.

I'm definitely following Harold's movements better the second time than the first.

If you return it three times, you will be slaughtered. If you still have a head to think about it, Fincent would think so, too.

If you fail, visiting is death. What Harold has feared and continues to avoid awaits.

But I can't even run away anymore. I was in a situation where it was necessary to jump into a dead place in order to live.

(... maybe now. I had to decide to be ready for that sooner if it was true)

Harold now understood clearly. I have not fought the fate of death. I was just trying to escape the fate of death.

The fear I feel by switching the switch pushes me against the remnants of Harold that remain in me, and Ichigo himself did not come up against the fear of death. I guess that bump is Fincent in front of you.

So I have to do Ichigo Harold here and now.

Be prepared to fight with Harold Stokes. Be prepared to face your fate.

Original knowledge, Harold's abilities, and One-Hippo's readiness. Fincent if you don't fight with all those, and you can't beat Justus.

"Let's go, puppet." Let's go Dek! "

And Harold jumped into his third death place.

Turn around behind you and avoid the slaughter released to fit in there. If it's the third time you take the back of Finn St. again, the reaction is even faster. The back fist flew without a gap to take the offensive stance. Take it by shielding your sword.

Same as before so far.

There is already a great sword looming over my head. This would not be avoidable if we stepped forward or jumped backwards. So Harold stays on the spot.

And turned. Just rotate your left foot one time around the axis so that only one part of your body shifts to the left. The Great Sword passes directly next to it at intervals that are less than one thin piece of skin.

But unlike the second time, the sword did not crush the ground until it was swung down. Because that would delay the pursuit of Harold, who would turn back again.

This is the result of Fincent's learning behavioral patterns. Fincent will optimize his behavior to accommodate it, assuming his opponent's next move.

So what happens if you make a move out of his assumptions? The countless scratches engraved on Fincent's armor and body are the answer.

Most of them were put on by Harold shortly after the battle began, before learning behavioral patterns accumulated. What this means is that no decision is taken at the beginning, and the longer the battle prolongs, the more unfavourable the fight against Fincent becomes.

But there is also a hole in this way of fighting. That is in that pattern learning is only passive.

Fincent responded when he was attacked, but he was supposed to anticipate and direct his opponent's movements using his attacks as his starting point. Maybe that's the technical limit.

Anyway, this situation is an unexpected pattern for Fincent. The point Harold moved is further outside the sword swung down with his right hand. The slash back is not in time, and the left arm, equipped with a caged hand, which is the key to defense, is at its farthest point from Harold.

The problem is that this is entirely Fincent's time, and Harold, with no acceleration due to speed, cannot strike an attack that is powerful enough to frighten the opponent, necessary to connect to the combo.

That is not the case with profound moves and magic. However, only a few moves to exercise magic require hoarding. I don't even know if a normal attack by the sword would go in. This intermission, and putting an opponent named Fincent in front of it, even creates a huge gap in its accumulation.

Then what do we do? The answer Harold gave is not usually an attack or a magic attack.

That was bare-handed clapping.

A jab-like palm bottom faster than swinging through a sword. In the game, it's only worth about the combo's connectivity moves. Just clap "Good luck". Your opponent will not be able to do as much damage as your hair if your left hand, Fincent, which boasts an even higher defense, drops so much grip that you can't hold the sword.

- If this move is what the game is about.

"" Just Clapped/Thundered "Ichizuki"!

An electric shock is emitted from Harold's left hand as the left palm bottom is struck against Fincent's jaw.

For eight years I've spent avoiding death flags, I remember all the moves Harold used in the game beside them. Attempts were also made to acquire moves used by other characters. And other than that, I've also made efforts to knit moves that weren't in the game.

Just clapping/thunder is one of them. As you can see from the name, it's a move to see the palm bottom and electric shock at the same time.

To be clear, this is not a source of damage either. Because you're going to need to build up just like any other move to unleash enough electric shock to do damage.

So this move saved me a thorough amount of storage time. Release the applause and complete the charge until you come into contact with the target. As a result, it is not a great power, either as a physical attack or as an electric shock.

But that's enough. Electric shock stops the opponent from moving for just a moment - enough to paralyze the muscles.

No matter how much I brainwashed, eliminated emotions, and was a flesh that could ignore the pain, I can't even suppress physiological reactions beyond being an organism. Even if he was a character in the game, Fincent is human.

……

Neither speak nor distort the expression. Fincent stiffened, though, as Harold seemed to think. A moment of stiffness in these two fights was indefensibly long and deadly.

It's too late when your body's stiffness is broken.

"" Thunder Slash "" Raki "Ri" "

A shot of the completed depths of the accumulation captured Fincent's abdomen. The sword itself turns into a thunderbolt and bends into a letter so that its giant breaks. Still, I try to raise my face and still wave my sword without falling, but the move can't be enough of a threat to Harold.

Harold's successive attacks are showered, not while Fincent waves his sword. That attack increases in power every time it multiplies.

The slaughter burned out his armor, and the thrust turned him upside down. An intense spin kick is tapped into the abdomen where the armor is destroyed and defenseless, slashing it up from behind before falling. I was struck 'thunderbird' where I floated completely in the universe.

Still, Harold's combo doesn't end. Because I understand that you are an opponent that cannot be defeated by a half-breed attack. Eventually, the attack unleashed by Harold counted a hundred.

Fincent's body floated high. As Harold hoists his sword upwards directly beneath it, its cutting-edge glows violently.

Harold's strongest move, with a weekly level cap, sharpening the 100 level protagonist's HP "Hit Point" by just over 60% in one blow.

Electric shocks are emitted from the cutting edge of the sword, and there is also a space rift in the ceiling in the ruins from which lightning falls. Those two were connected so that they pierced Fincent's body.

And Harold swung through his sword to break Fincent.

"" Rift Thunder "" Sakukazuki ""

There is a loud thunderous noise inside the ruins that is unlike any other. The entire ruins vibrate, and the earthen smoke risen by the storm of thunder stands and cages.

But it also clears up after a while. And there's only one shadow that emerged from the earth smoke.

And the LORD of his shadow said unto his opponent, who remained in a rough breath, but fell down and lay low everywhere.

"You look great, Fincent - I win."
