I was at the Knights base.

Three days after my promise to Frost, the day of battle has finally arrived.

"Slade... are you okay?

"Oh......"

I was moving my body in the holding room.

Before the battle, it is important to keep your body warm in this way.

"Be careful, Mr. Slade. I know you do, but Mr. Frost is strong. Mr. Dolger said. He said he was the darkest knight..."

"Sounds like a dark knight?

"Yes, Mr. Dolger's standpoint is that Mr. Frost, disappointed in the Holy Knight, can be stronger as the darkest knight."

So, Chiano has said such things.

Apparently, the Dark Knight can be strengthened by disappointing the Holy Knight. Does that mean hatred for the other person?

I don't know if that applies to Frost right now. Because working with us might have made a difference.

Most importantly, even though the Dark Demon Great was pulling his hand behind it, what the Saints did to Frost is not acceptable. It would be hard to imagine Frost's hatred for there disappearing.

"Well, I'll do something about it..."

"Mr. Slade......"

But Frost is strong.

Whether there is hatred or not, that won't change that much.

Besides, this battle is more about destroying the Dark Demon Emperor than about fighting Frost. Sometimes the masters had asked me to, but it's time to end the battle with the Dark Knights.

Perhaps Frost should be the same one wanting to defeat the Dark Demon Great. In a way, this battle may be described as Frost's joint struggle.

"Master, don't lose"

"If you don't win, I won't forgive you, will I?

"Oh, I know"

Celia and Sona gave me words of encouragement, too.

In this way, when there are those who support us, strength builds up. I didn't originally intend to lose, but that feels better.

"Mr. Slade, defeat the Dark Demon King… be sure to defeat him"

"Yeah, I know. Let's end this cause here, too."

Mr. Cannon asked me to talk to him about the Dark Demon King.

For Mr. Cannon, the Dark Demon Great is the culprit who sickened himself and Chiano. For that reason, you must think it's quite unforgivable.

He trusts me with that feeling. It would be my job to answer that thought.

"Mr. Slade, it's time!

"Ok......"

I answer briefly to the words unleashed while knocking on the door of the room.

Apparently, it's time.

Let's get in the mood and let's say we come to the fight against Frost.

◇ ◇ ◇

When I left for the arena, I heard cheers from all around me.

Such a cheer, never mind, I slowly go up on the ring.

Already, Frost was up in the ring. You can't keep him waiting like that.

"Are you here..."

"... you kept me waiting"

Frost's atmosphere had changed only slightly.

When the Dark Demon Emperor was obsessed with him, he had a similar vibe to Dolgar.

"Well... shall we begin? This battle between me and you..."

"Oh......"

Me and Frost set it up right away.

At the earliest, I didn't need words. I'll settle with Frost. That's the fight.

'Come on, we're both confronting each other! Slade and Frost, the battle between them is about to open the curtain now!

"Begin!"

"The Judgment Signal has now been said! Finally, the battle begins!

On the referee's signal, the game began.

The first hand, I think. What the hell works for Frost?

"Slade......"

"Yeah?"

"Come with the blade."

"What...?

Frost said that while I was thinking about it.

That was the word for using the strongest moves I have.

But using that move is a move that consumes my health considerably. For this reason, it is a little hesitant to use such moves.

"I'll do everything I can. None (Mm) wants to (yes) blade..."

"What...?

"We don't need to see how things go in our fight. From the beginning, do your best."

But in Frost's words, I changed my mind.

Apparently, Frost is going to hit me with all his might, too.

We don't think about the rest, we fight each other from the beginning. Besides, there's no way I won't respond.

I breathe slowly and concentrate.

"Okay, Frost... I'll live up to your expectations"

"Oh, that's fine..."

At the same time as me, Frost was focused.

We give each other everything we can.

'Oh, my God! None of us want to (yes) blade each other! A move to increase your concentration and cross the limits of your flesh! From the start, we're going to do everything we can! This is going to be an unexpectedly early settlement!

Me and Frost crossed the limits of each other's flesh.

Now we can be much stronger than usual.

But this move is a sword of all blades. Fighting in this state will return damage to you as well.

Besides, this will cut this move if the focus doesn't continue. In other words, the battle will be settled early.

"Let's go!

"Oh!"

"Oh dear! Both of them, I ran out!

Me and Frost were running out almost simultaneously.

That speed would be a few times higher than normal. But the price bounces back on my own feet.

With the pain, we each wield a blade. Two blades overlap at once.

"Whoa, whoa!

"Hmm!"

"Come on! Two blades, overlapping! Each other, all the best bumps! Probably should be pretty damaging for both of us!

Me and Frost were damaged even in the rush.

Whenever I can use my strength, my body gets damage back.

But if you can't help it, they'll just rip you apart. Therefore, we have to fight in this state.

"Ahhh!

"Ugh!

"Oops! Here, for once, the blade is away! But we'll bump into each other soon! It's a fierce blade bump!

I pulled a knife and attacked Frost from another direction.

But Frost will cope with that, too. It's not going to be a boulder.

"Come on!"

"Oh no!? Slade, fall back!

"What!?

'Plus, Slade, you've got your knife in your sheath!

So I decided to try and change my hands.

We should be able to find a better chance of winning than bumping into each other forever.

I lower my profile and lay my hands on the knife. And unleash it all at once.

"Secret Sword! Crack! Sky!"

"Slade, it's a knife extraction! But this knife extraction is different than usual!

"You're here!

This move is a knife extraction technique that can tear space apart as well.

The torn space tries to return to its original form.

The distortion of the space draws Frost here.

"But!"

"Oh dear! Frost, we rolled out the ice!

Frost, however, has had ice walls strewn all around himself.

I was going to attack the attractive Frost. But with that ice wall, my attack won't hit Frost.

"Slade, flash! But the attack was prevented by the ice wall!

"Hmm! Apparently, you're off target!

As it turns out, the sword I wield on the frost I'm drawn to has been held back by the ice wall.

Again, Frost is strong. Reinforcement by the memory of the Dark Demon Great and the power of the ice that was originally there. Together, the two are very troublesome.

But it's not like I don't have a hand yet. I still have a chance.

The battle between me and Frost continues.
