Sword of the Philosopher
His strength.
Shortly after the discussion has come to a paragraph, Croix and Eluaz start engaging again - but they are both in such a way as to peek at the opportunity, and they are not really stepping in.
Here I realize the look on their faces is very harsh - it's a subtle part of what this one-horse beating means in the first place. Eluas and Croix should have had an atmosphere where they talked properly and decided which would make them demon kings, but they start fighting and it's as if everything is going to be decided in this fight.
Stuff the twitch and intermission as they both explore the signs. We're all around us, watching over our spit and being silent.
I remember the battle between Bizel and Croix. At the end of the day, Croix used the techniques I taught him to defeat Bizel, who was suddenly attacked. Could he be peering at the opportunity?
"… Next, I guess, settled"
"Oh, yeah"
Croix also responded to the discipline to Eluaz's whining. Next - I mean, let's decide on the game at the next meeting.
Fulfilling - for a moment, both put their feet forward at the same time. At the same time as stepping in, the sword clashed at the midpoint between the two sides. The sword hits each other with the momentum that scatters even the spark, and still antagonizes it.
The forces are mutual. If so, the moves... Immediately after thinking so, Eluas changed the flow of power slightly or swallowed Croix's sword. The opposing Croix was reading it or immediately pulled the sword back, releasing the sword flash of pursuit.
But El-Ass responds quickly and receives the sword - that's how the two begin the meeting. A battle of pure swords, in which the offense intrudes and does not allow a moment's gap.
That was more of a battle than a demon tribe would do, as humans would do. Magic is not flashy at all. Of course, it was clear that he was possessing magic, and I know that the swords of both sides were carrying the power of a one-strike special, but it was a terribly simple one.
And you can also see that the magic of both is gradually increasing. If one increases the output, the other increases the magic accordingly. If the other person realizes that, so do I. - That repetition. But you keep doing it. You two show each other the battle.
Croix gained the power of the demonic tribe in the West, gaining as much power as he could cross with Eluaz in this way... here's a change in Eluaz's expression. That's stunning. I open my eyes slightly and am surprised Croix is able to respond.
Eluaz must have thought he could defeat Croix by observing previous battles. But it hasn't. There will be a variety of reasons to gain strength, including countless workouts and what to carry on his shoulders - Croix is trying to take in all things and devour El-Ass.
"... well..."
I understand one thing. The true strength of Croix. The position of the Demon Nation...... No, not the position of the Son of the Demon King, but as a peculiar Demon Nation that joins hands with humans and spirits he is fighting. But swallowing and growing all of it is the most powerful thing for him.
So sure arrow tip, gradually Croix starts pushing. The sword adds even more sharpness, and Eluas has to be a guardian.
As the two swords stagger, the situation gradually begins to tilt. It doesn't look like an act to me that El-Ass has a painful look on his face.
At that time, the magic of El-Ass swelled up in one piece. It's the kind of momentum that swallows the power of Croix, who should have been attacking him, and if the blade clashes, he surely loses... so much output that he thinks so.
But Croix nevertheless dared to respond by increasing his strength. Clash from the front...... Croix wants that.
Both blades also hit directly from the front. Shortly afterwards, it was - El-Ass who blew it up.
"Huh...!?"
Eluaz gives a bewildered look for not knowing what happened for a moment. In the meantime, Croix fleshed out to his opponent in order to set up a chase, with more magic than ever.
DECIDED - Shortly after I was so sure, Eluaz aroused again. Boost your strength to fight Croix, and this one waves down your sword to see a blow all over you.
At the moment of the clash again, the sound of the clash is created and the magic diffuses. The win or loss... Croix pushed in!
"Do you decide...?
Soon I was in a sweat-gripping mood in my hand and I shrugged unexpectedly. But here Eluas also confronts. Immediately pressing the sword back, further magic was poured into his body in the next moment.
- It's an amazing magic, which probably many of those who were here would have looked out for. I thought I kept it hidden until the end, and it was immense magic.
If I hit him directly, Croix is sorry he's safe... no, I don't know what will happen if I just take it with my sword. If you eat the aftermath of magic alone properly, you are likely to become irreversible, and as a croissant, you are compelled to respond.
At that time, the magic of Croix occurs for a moment - that was definitely the technique I taught.
- The technology gained through my guidance is, simply put, the technique of "definitely avoiding the opponent's attack once and for all". The name is "Running Water Formation," and the attack itself can be flushed by special magic barriers.
However, there are disadvantages to this, because it concentrates all nerves to use the move, even if it is successfully avoided, it is possible that the target's attack will come first... but Croix did not. When he activated his moves in a literally running water-like motion, he fired a blow all over El-Ass.
No, should I also say that was derailed by a magic barrier - the sword of El-Ass is swung down to the ground. Soil and sand rise, and magic scatters across all directions. And he had a big gap.
"Nah..."
Eluas is also surprised by this result. Probably would have been able to determine and respond to what the trait was if we had carefully observed it. The time to take advantage of this technology is short, you just have to wait for the effect to break off or aim for the timing of the expiration of time.
Or, depending on the way you do it, you have the means to penetrate and attack this move... I don't know if Eluaz is mastering that, but there has to have been something more to do than be a Demon King candidate.
But Eluas, who focused too much on the blow of his body, couldn't do anything - shortly afterwards, Croix waves his sword toward Eluas.
The other guy tried to respond to it, but he was a step behind. And on his neck, Croix's blade sticks.
"... mine, you win"
to the word, Eluas breathed small,
"Apparently so"
He admits it too. The final showdown between the Demon King candidates thus closed the curtain.
