Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Cursed Breaks

[As usual we can see inhumane techniques if we pay attention to Kuro. But his opponent also showed a technique that was no less inhuman. I don't know why this makes me dizzy. Princess Norn, I think you can explain better than me.]

{I think what they do is still in the standard of what a human can do. Only, both are exceptions.}

The battle between Serge and Kuro enters a new chapter. Insectmera who recorded their fight could only see the impact after the fight as their speed exceeded Insectmera's ability to take pictures.

Although it could not see clearly, but everyone who saw could tell that it was an extraordinary high-level battle.

[Isn't it the same?]

{The exception here I mean is in their efforts to gain strength. Kuro can't use magic, but he has mastered manipulating ki and also mastered many techniques from different sword streams. While his opponent could use magic, but he had no talent in magic. He also ended up following the same path as Kuro in the sword technique. And now you can see for yourself what they can do on this stage.}

[Do you want to say that limitation is not an obstacle to being strong?]

{For people who choose to give up on the circumstances, no doubt they are cowards. Many blame others for their own weaknesses. The question is, before doing that, have you ever asked yourself. 'have I tried?'. We didn't know that before trying.}

[...]

{In this world, the abilities of magicians can be known by examination. But it's wrong to think it's a limit and use it as an excuse to stop working hard. The same goes for non-magicians. Indeed there is no standard size for their abilities, but that is precisely why they can develop beyond the witches.}

The most obvious evidence is the number of non-magicians who are more accomplished than witches. Indeed, in individual strength witches are stronger, but that does not mean they are perfect.

{The two battles not only show how hard work can change a person's fate, but also a proof that witches or not, they can be strong as long as they want to try}

In his heart Norn admitted that Kuro and Serge existences were exceptions and at the same time they were unique existences.

Although there were trying to gain strength just like the two, not necessarily they would reach the same level.

But the fight of the two becomes one of the proof that witches and ordinary people are not much different. With this at least Norn hoped the gap between the two could be reduced.

Norn doesn't know until when ordinary people will fear witches, but he believes there will one day be a day where witches and ordinary people will coexist regardless of status.

💠💠💠💠

The attack felt heavy and strong. Every time he tried to hold on, his body began to lose strength and was pushed back.

He tried to fight back, but his attacks were always held back by the sword that was already prepared.

Robust. Is this the strength of the person he wants to achieve? Why are you so strong?

It's the same as it used to be. When he saw that person was in the arena with just a white sword. At first he underestimated it.

An ordinary person who strives to become a winner in a fight between monsters. Only a fool would do that. Not only himself, the people in that place also had the same thoughts.

But as if not concerned with what others think, that person goes on and proves that he is a winner.

With a beautiful sword technique and beyond human thought, that person ended up becoming a champion and got an honorary title.

How can you be that strong?

It was very desirable for him to ask that directly to her, but he undoed the intention because of his pride.

Everyone has limits in their lives. Just like her who was a magician with a C rank. Normally he could be said to be a magician with flat ability, but his form of magic arm made him inferior to ordinary magicians.

Although it was a bitter reality that he did not want to accept, but that was all he had.

But that's when he heard something that changed his life.

"When you say you can't beat me, then that's when you've lost before you even fought. Everyone has limits, but is that why we should stop moving forward?"

That word changed everything. He finally understood everything he had been thinking all along was wrong.

In his heart he kept asking. Have I tried to destroy the wall in front of me?

No. gabe. Every time he met the wall, he stepped back.

With that new determination, Serge begins his journey.

In his attempt to destroy the wall before his eyes, he did not find an easy way. His magic power was limited and he could not use magic well. So he chose another path, the way of the sword.

Same path as that guy.

Unfortunately, this is not an easy path either. To become a strong swordsman, it takes a lot of practice and time.

But a new hope was born from that effort. He realized it turned out that he had an incredible talent in the flow of swords.

The path he thought was difficult became easier than he had expected. He even became strong without her noticing.

After nearly two years of living in the way of the sword, he wanted to prove that his efforts had not been the wrong way.

He attended a tournament that he had always considered a joke to entertain. Moreover, in this tournament, he would meet that person.

Then when he wins, he will say 'thank you' to him who has changed the course of his life.

But the person he was waiting for did not come. Not only himself, many people were waiting for that person's fight again.

Wh why? Why didn't you come?

His determination is now something else, it is anger.

In that tournament he became a winner, but it was a hollow victory. As long as he had not defeated that fellow, the title he had was nothing more than an empty title. Fake.

In the end, he decided to meet the man. He doesn't want to wait.

He knew that that person was from the Houou empire. So he went there even though it wasn't easy considering he was from another country.

But his wish once again found a dead end. The person he was looking for was not easy for him to meet. It's strange considering he's a famous person.

As an outsider, he had a time limit. If he takes too long, he'll get into trouble he didn't expect.

Luckily, whether it was due to fate siding with his head, he met a man who made his way easier.

That man was Gustav.

The one who made his greatest wish is now fulfilled. For the sake of that person and himself, Serge would defeat the person he wanted to achieve.

💠💠💠💠

"Yeah!!!!!"

The shock waves occur until they sweep away anything around them. Serge attacked again and again with techniques that he had mastered all along. There were no tricks, only sword slashes that were so honest and powerful.

(Do you understand what I want to say with my sword?)

Light Saber sword flow technique, Sword Flash. The Death Phantom ' sword stream technique, Killer Shadow. The Fall River sword flow technique, Silent Water. Those were just some of the sword flow techniques that Serge used to attack Kuro.

Unfortunately, all those high-level techniques were useless before him. Not only because Kuro activated the full power of Eyes of Origin, but also because Kuro could use all those techniques. It's not strange that Kuro can handle it.

"You're strong, but there's a void in your power."

"Rather than thinking that, why don't you attack once?"

Since the second half began, only Serge has continued to attack. Kuro simply defends or diverts Serge's attack in the other direction.

If you look at the audience seats then at first glance Kuro always dodges, but it's the opposite.

After activating Eyes of Origin in full, he could see all of Serge's attacks clearly. But being able to see is not necessarily holding back. All of this was because his body could not keep Kuro's will.

This was a huge weakness that he did not want to show his opponent this time.

What was impressive was the Limit Break ability that Serge used. Not only did it make Serge's attacks stronger and faster. Then coupled with techniques from various streams of swords, making Serge's ability exceed the sword ability of Mary first.

In order to deal with Serge's attack, Kuro made use of his sword technique. He was lucky enough to hold everything well.

"I just haven't found a chance yet."

"Don't you think I'll give it!!"

What Kuro said was not entirely a lie, but in reality he was difficult to find a gap to counter-attack.

This relates to Serge's unclear Soul magic power. Kuro was afraid that if he attacked, Serge would use the opportunity to strike back.

(But that's not all)

Kuro had felt something strange. Although Serge was able to use Limit Break which made his strength increase rapidly, that was all that was special. The sword technique used by Serge was also mastered by Kuro, which is why Kuro was able to read the next movement.

As a person capable of becoming a Battle War participant, it shouldn't be this limited.

"Kuh!!"

"Tch!!"

The two of them clashed with swords and pushed each other until the distance between them occurred.

Of course they would without a doubt once again clash.

"Supreme Break!!"

"!?"

Serge arrived faster. Kuro reflexively held on and that was when his body was thrown into the air violently.

(Great!!)

Serge arrived already behind Kuro and was in a slashing position. No. gabe. It was more appropriate to be prepared with one of the sword flow techniques.

"Heaven Slicers!!!"

Light like lightning swallowed Kuro. Simultaneously, the mainland of Avalon island split into two along 1 kilometer more.

Not only the spectators were surprised by what happened, but also the other participants who fought not far from the two.

(He's not the one who's going to lose to that!!)

Even so, there was one person who did not believe Kuro would be easily defeated with just such a technique.

If Kuro loses, then he simply doesn't deserve to be the one Serge wants to achieve.

"!?"

Serge twisted his body and repelled the attack directed at him from the blind spot. It was at that moment that he saw the figure he wanted to defeat.

Surprisingly, he was not at all surprised when Kuro was completely unharmed. But that doesn't mean the attack had no effect.

"Are you tired?"

Kuro's face looked pale and his breathing was breathless. Although Serge knew that Kuro would experience a huge backlash if he used the power of Eyes of Origin, but this exceeded what he had expected.

In other words, this was a side effect of the technique that Kuro used to evade.

"You're a really strong opponent."

"Thank you..."

Kuro begins to be pushed back by Serge's powers. The difference in strength and speed between Limit Break and Supreme Break was enormous.

So far Kuro has managed to survive by using the power of Eyes of Origin to predict the future, but his body cannot continue to survive with such a difference in strength.

"I'd love to beat someone, which is why I want to be strong and number one."

"Hm... For the guy who wants to be number one, you're pretty sloppy."

If it wanted to win the Battle War it should have been wise for Serge to use his strength, but there was no sign of that intent.

With everything going on, Kuro is not stupid enough to know Serge's true purpose in this Battle War.

"No. To beat you, whatever I'm gonna do."

Suddenly an aura overflowed from Serge's body. The aura was strong enough to blow away anything around him.

This is a sign Serge decided to end their fight.

Kuro also did not want to lose. He used a power he didn't want to use before fighting Victoria, but his opponent this time deserved it.

<>

400 Years ago, Maria became a hero by defeating Demon King Shiroyasha. That's right, but it's just about destroying his body.

Shiroyasha's remaining soul is now reincarnated with a new body. That person is Kuro.

Unlike the past, Shiroyasha's power cannot be used with an ordinary human body.

But other than that, there was one more thing that made Shiroyasha unable to use her power. It was because of the strong seal that was able to withstand Shiroyasha's power.

What Kuro was currently doing was to destroy the seal.

<>

There was no doubt from Kuro. From the beginning he had known the risk of using power that exceeded his body's limit.

All of those processes lasted less than a second.

"Cursed Break!!!"

A huge aura expelled Kuro's body. Unlike Serge, the power of the throws was many times stronger.

Simultaneously, the air around became cold to the point of bone piercing. Even for Serge who repeatedly felt a strong pressure, this was the first time he felt such pressure.

Body shaking. But he was not at all afraid.

Quite the contrary, what he felt was the opposite.

"Hahaha!!! Yep. Like that!!! Show me all your strength. And at that time I will surpass it!!!"

Serge prepared to use the Heaven Slicer once more. But unlike before, this time he will use everything he has.

Serge's body disappeared. He moved and continued to accelerate at a speed exceeding the speed of sound around Kuro.

Then in a timely manner, he stopped and used that momentum to use the strongest technique he had.

"Heaven Slicer!!!"

But that's not all. Serge used his Soul power to make his body sit all over the place and execute the same attack.

The result was the strongest attack of all directions now besieging Kuro.

With one attack, it was able to split the land for 1 kilometer. What would happen if Serge used such an attack with a large amount and with greater strength?

The light swallowed everything. Along with that a loud explosion that was able to make the entire island of Avalon tremble is now happening.

No one knew what happened with Kuro receiving the attack directly. But, after the light disappeared, Kuro's figure was finally seen.

"Yes my. I guess I'm still not enough."

Upon seeing Kuro's completely unharmed figure, Serge was shocked, but at the same time he was happy.

Glad not that Kuro was completely unharmed, but happy that Kuro was the person he had imagined.

"!?"

Serge's body suddenly lost all its power. His body was limp and he could not move his body at all.

He lost the strength to stand in the air and eventually slowly fell down.

Falling or not, Serge's body had already reached its limit. It wouldn't be strange if her Doll was destroyed.

He can only accept fate. Despite losing, he had no regrets at all for already fighting with everything he had.

"Geez, this is why people like you are so troublesome."

Before his body hit the ground hard, Serge's body was stopped by Kuro.

"Haha, in the end, I am saved by you..."

"Don't misunderstand me. I didn't save you. You just have a little more time."

"Ah..so."

Serge's Doll was almost completely broken. And since it was damaged not because it was affected by the attack, Serge still had time.

"I don't really understand why you've fought so far, but I can only say that you're really stupid."

"I don't want to hear that from you. But if you think, I'm stupid."

Serge wants to be strong just like Kuro even though they have limits. But now he realized, the limit he has is different from the limit of others. Besides that he also realized that Kuro was an existence that he could not understand.

"But the stupidity you had made me remember someone."

"..."

"For the sake of one man, he did everything. No matter if what he did broke the predetermined fate and broke the taboo."

Kuro's eyes looked at the sky with a gaze full of nostalgia. He is like a man who remembers the dark past, but at the same time it is so beautiful.

"Now, because your goal has been achieved. What are you gonna do next?"

"..."

Serge couldn't answer.

All this time he only wanted to fight with Kuro to thank him for making himself change.

But after that goal was achieved, he did not think about it at all.

"Are you coming back?"

"I don't think so. I have no reason to do it."

"Then do you have someone valuable to you?"

"..."

Serge was silent once again. He could not think of a single person, but someone immediately flashed in his head.

"Thank God. Looks like you have. If you remember him, you'll never get lost in the middle of eternal darkness."

Serge's body slowly glowed and disappeared. Leaving Kuro smiling alone.

💠💠💠💠

After a grueling fight with Serge, Kuro's body fell to the ground. He could still survive by using his sword as a restraint.

The release of the seal makes Kuro able to use a single Authority without the need to activate it. In other words, temporary activation.

Unfortunately, such activations had a huge reverse impact on his body.

Kuro was not even currently able to move his body.

And of course this kind of situation is highly anticipated by other participants who are looking for an opportunity.

Magic bullets were fired at him. The magic bullet did not have great power, but with Kuro's current condition, it was enough.

But Kuro has someone he trusts to keep his back.

"Laser's Cannon!!"

Magic cannons were fired towards the magic bullet that was targeting Kuro. The magic bullet power lost and disappeared.

Shortly thereafter, Laila arrived with a large cannon in her right hand. It was the magic cannon of the Meteor Cannon Blade that he had already reduced his strength.

"Kuro, you're such a fool."

The first thing Kuro heard was a scolding from his beloved wife.

"I'm sorry, but this is something I have to do."

Laila looked irritated, but it made her look even sweeter. Rather than being afraid, Kuro was eager to kiss her.

Laila then sighed and helped Kuro stand up.

"Geez, it should be that without using that way you can defeat him. There's no point in using too risky a power."

Laila knew what Kuro was doing. You could say this is one of the trump cards they want to keep. But Kuro easily used it just for the sake of his opponent.

"It's okay. Eclip-"

"Gum!!!"

"Well, I'm sorry for worrying you and I'm sorry for failing to get our stuff."

The goods sent to Kuro and Laila are destroyed by the battle of Kuro and Serge.

"But you know what it is, right?"

Kuro just smiled.

For them the contents in the suitcase is not something important, but the contents are enough to give what they want.

"Our guess is correct. No, I think if it's more precise than we thought. Avalon Island is no ordinary island. This island is an altar."

"Altar?"

"I'll tell you more details later. My question is, do you feel any changes in your body?"

Laila tilted her head with a question mark.

"If there's none, that's good news. The important thing for us now is to join the others."

Their initial plan was to fight separately with the aim of looking at the circumstances and the situation. If what they needed was enough, they would join the others in order to strengthen the position in Battle War.

"You know their position?"

"Charlia and Fila were fighting other participants not far from here. We'll help them."

They nodded simultaneously and went towards the location of Fila and Charmilia.

Suddenly they felt a fairly strong energy pressure.

"The pressure of magic just now..."

"Laila, is something wrong?"

"No, but the magic pressure just now felt terrifying. I don't know why I feel bad. Kuro, let's hurry."

Kuro and Laila quickened their pace. The sounds of battle that filled the place now began to sound lonely.

Then, the ominous aura slowly began to feel stronger. They stopped and were surprised to see something they did not expect.

"What the hell is this...?"

In front of them, the snow-filled white forest was replaced by a dark black forest filled with a terrifying aura.
