Me and Selik were in a state of rigidity.

'Come on, it's been awhile since Slade made the declaration that he won't attack, but they won't move either way! What the hell is wrong with this!?

"This is probably Slade's operation."

"Operation......? What kind of... '

'It wouldn't be fair for me to say that. Let's wait for the game to move'

Those in the venue are making a scene.

Each one seems to like to guess that the game was rigid.

I don't mind you guessing that on your own.

"Why don't you move..."

Selik turns a strange glance at me for not moving.

I don't have a choice, so do you think it's time I told you?

"Look at that, I knew your sword was full of flaws..."

"... what?

"Oops!? Here, Slade, you suddenly start saying something outrageous!?

"Hmm... here we go"

To my words, Selik makes me angry.

But that doesn't matter.

"When I stopped moving, the game stopped moving at all. That's because you can't do anything."

"What...?

"Defense can't be done without an attack. I mean, your defense has already been broken."

That's why I don't move.

No matter how strong Selik's defense is, it won't activate if I don't attack.

That's one reason why his sword moves can't be supreme enough.

"And you're not attacking. This means that that sword moves have no means to attack spontaneously. Can such swordsmanship be supreme?"

"Oh!? Oh my god, Slade!? This is an obvious provocation!

"Well, how do you do from here, …"

Sword moves that don't attack themselves and just wait for the opponent to attack, such things can't even beat puppies. I mean, it's an incomplete sword move.

This is another reason why his sword moves are not supreme.

"Hmm! Bullshit... even if I don't attack you, you will eventually be defeated by the damage I did earlier!

"What? Can you attack? Then why don't you? No, well. You could only defend yourself. If you attack me, there's no way you can win. Is that why you're trying to stick to fantasies that won't even come true?

Selik's been saying it back, but I'll stir it back.

Here, if you haven't really attacked me, I'm a little bothered.

"... let me tell you something, take it personally. Then I'll show you. That our sword is supreme in attack!

"Oh!? Selik, got on Slade's provocation and ran out all at once!?

"I ran out unexpectedly with anger, something like that..."

Selik's on his way to me.

He's waving his sword wide, trying to tear me apart.

But that, compared to defense, is full of gaps.

"Secret Sword -"

"Become!"

"Sick wind!"

"Oops!? Slade's flash!

"Is that, like, a knife extraction technique? It's quick swordsmanship. '

I pulled the knife out of my sheath at once and intercepted Selik.

"Guaah!?

"Oh!? Selik, he was mutilated without the art of exchange!?

'Like Slade earlier, it's a blow fired after entering the offensive posture. It must have been difficult for Selik to defend himself.'

Selik flutters as he retreats and falls to the ground.

With that as a signal, the referee began counting.

"One, two"

"Celik player, down. Was this a mighty blow!?

'Yeah, is it all like Slade's op win...'

"Three, Four"

The count of referees goes on.

I don't mind you falling over with this, but I'd like you to stand up if you can.

"Five, Six"

"Operation wins? What does that mean? Mr Gogassa? '

'Taunts from earlier, they are all for this blow. That's the way to put it, but Celik means he's really put it in a trap.'

"Oh my God!? Slade player, unexpectedly brain-play!?

Because my defensive breakdown has just begun.

There's not one way to break that defense.

"Seven, Eight"

"Kuh!

"Oh! Celik, you're up."

"To the boulder, you couldn't seem to decide with a single blow."

With that in mind, Selik stood up.

You look a little mixed with remorse in your eyes as you stare at me.

"... Was it a detour? I didn't know I could put you on your provocation..."

"... Well, what do you think?

"But it's not like my defense was broken in the original sense. You just proved that if I hadn't, my defense would never be broken."

Selik said something out of the ordinary.

Sure, I used this hand this time, but there's not one way to break Selik's defense.

"Ha! Your defense is not absolute. I'll show you that now..."

"What?"

"Oh no!? Slade player, took the knife and put his arm up!? Here, what moves do you roll out!?

"... what!? That setup, no way!?

I hold the knife with both hands and raise my arms.

In contrast, Selik has laid his sword. You're going to take my offense.

But that's a mistake. Because the moves I'm about to unleash are moves that I've been told are undefendable.

"The sword!"

"Oh, my God! This!?

"Isn't that my move!?

What I used was a sword that attacked with all my weight.

It was once a special sword used by Mr. Gogassa.

This move is said to be an undefendable move, and I couldn't think of a way to deal with it, except to recieve it too.

"What!? Stupid!?

"Ooh!? Selik's defense is broken!?

"Sure, if you have a sword, you can open it, whether it's an absolute defense or not. But no way, I didn't think you'd use my moves. When the hell... '

By my attack, Selik's defense collapses and his body retreats.

"Ah, yes... this is my defense..."

"Well, we're still going..."

"Slade, raise your arms again!

"Another blow..."

As I raised my sword again, I approached Selik.

"Gu......"

So Selik retreats a little.

Perhaps you're afraid of my attack.

The defense he was absolutely confident of was broken by the Rigid Sword.

Therefore, the thought of not being able to defend my attack must have sprung up in my mind.

"Ku...... whoa!

'In contrast, Celik, we're on our way!

'You must have been torn through your own defense and in a hurry. But this...'

For that reason, Selik turned to me.

You threw away the defense you were supposed to believe in.

That is probably an action that has gone from a moment of stray.

But I'm not even scared, such as Selik, who threw away his defense.

"Ha ha!

"Whaaaa!?

"Oh!? Slade player, attack with your feet!?

'Still badly footed...... probably prepared for everything. The defense is a rigid sword, the attack intercepts, and if you run, you chase. Seems like he was setting it up so he could...'

My kick pierced Selik on his way.

By my attack, Selik retreats dramatically.

"Muggle..."

"Oh!? Selik, he's down! Limit to boulders!?

'Cause you've had two direct hits. It will be quite harsh......'

And Selik fell on the spot.

I could knock the attack in, but would it stand up?

"One, two"

"Grr..."

The count of referees began.

Selik is in agony, groaning.

Besides the pain, there will be the agitation of being torn through your own defenses.

Physically and mentally, it should be quite painful.

"Three, Four"

"Ha, ha..."

'Come on, the count will go on ruthlessly! Selik, can you stand up!?

"Five, Six"

'This is going to be pretty tough...'

On Selik's face, I see fatigue.

Maybe this is over.

"Selik!"

At that time, a loud voice sounds.

It's from a second on Selik's side. But it's not the voice of Captain Zagil Fifth.

"And father!?

"Stand up! Selik..."

"Seven, Eight"

Apparently, the Lord of Voices is Selik's father.

Selik rises to respond to that voice.

This game is going to last just a little longer.
