If it's now.
If it's this small of a gap.
It's possible.
In the fierce back-and-forth.
If Davian gets hit even once properly, the game will be tipped.
No matter how fast his regeneration ability is, there's no way he can withstand the Emperor's barrage of attacks.
The Emperor must know it too.
'That one hit. I'll take it.'
Taking one hit properly, while simultaneously.
Landing one hit properly.
An operation that would have been impossible before the Emperor's opening was visible.
But now, he calculated that there was enough possibility.
It's a final gift from Marquis Espin Ellaina.
Bang! Kwaang!
Even while Davian was drawing a picture in his head to end the fight, the two were fiercely exchanging blows.
"Davian Na Ohne. To find my opening and this is all you can do?"
He had no mental capacity to respond to the Emperor's words.
He has to calculate his movements thoroughly.
He has to think of all the possible scenarios that could arise depending on the Emperor's response.
Kwaang! Bang!
It didn't take long to finish the calculations.
He foresaw two or three moves ahead based on all the possible scenarios.
It's not something that can be achieved by having a large amount of internal or magical power.
It's an ability naturally acquired by living the 3rd timeline fiercely, crossing the line between life and death dozens of times.
Whoosh.
Kwaang!
"The blade is dull. Are you even tired?"
A shiver ran down Davian's spine.
He calculated and calculated again to make sure it wouldn't show, but he still moved accordingly.
Did he notice the change right away?
Using the force of colliding with the Sword of Destruction, he rotated the Spear of Authority in the opposite direction.
'Got it!'
The Emperor has never properly learned swordsmanship or fought a fierce battle.
He has tremendous attack power, but his movements are monotonous.
The fact that he's pushing Davian with those monotonous movements is even more amazing.
At the last moment.
The Emperor moved as Davian expected.
Taking advantage of the gap in the wide rotation of the spear, he thrust his sword.
At this rate, the tip of the sword would pierce Davian's chest faster than the rotating spear blade touching the Emperor's body.
Originally, Davian would have retreated at this point, or taken back the spear and created an ice sword to deflect the Emperor's sword.
Swish!
Instead of dodging the sword.
He stretched his left foot further forward.
To where the Emperor's right foot is.
Thwack!
Davian's body twisted, and the Emperor's sword, which was aiming for his heart, pierced through his side.
Tremendous pain rushed in, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
About half of his right side was cut off.
'I avoided death.'
It doesn't matter if he dies.
He also has the Bulgasari's heart.
Above all, he's not afraid of death as long as he can escape from this tiresome system.
But.
'Not yet.'
Even if he dies, he has to cut off the Emperor's breath first.
If not this time, there will be no more chances.
Extending his left foot forward, the angle of the spear being swung changed.
A very small gap created by the Emperor's right foot.
The Spear of Authority succeeded in squeezing through that small gap.
From the first attack, when he heard that the blade was dull because he was tired, all the movements were calculated accurately.
Thud.
He felt the tip of the spear blade touch the Emperor's waist.
He focused all his strength on the two hands holding the spear.
Crack! Crackle!
The spear blade of the Spear of Authority, which had broken through the Demon King's barrier that nullifies all attacks.
Began to cut into the Emperor's waist, which had unbelievable defensive power.
'Got it!'
At that moment.
Thump.
The Emperor's left hand grabbed the spear shaft.
Clack!
Davian tried to push the spear in with all his might, but.
The spear held in the Emperor's hand no longer budged.
Stuck in a state of being cut about a third of the way into the waist.
"Were you trying to go down together? That won't do. This battle must be decided. That is the reason for my life."
"No."
Davian released the two hands that were holding the spear.
Almost simultaneously.
Whirr.
An ice sword in his right hand.
Whoosh.
Pure flames erupted in his left hand.
It's not as powerful as when using the Fire Festival skill, but he has no choice but to hope that this operation works properly.
Thwack!
He thrust the ice sword through the gap that the Spear of Authority had cut through.
Diagonally upward.
The tip of the ice sword was pointing exactly towards the Emperor's heart.
Thump.
The Emperor, who had let go of the spear shaft, grabbed Davian's head.
At the same time, he gave strength to his upper body.
All of Emperor Kaiser Rapax's muscles contracted strongly.
The ice sword that was being thrust through the gap created by the Spear of Authority was bitten tightly.
The sword could no longer move forward.
"We could have played around more, but you're inviting your own death."
"Crazy monster. Are your insides all muscles?"
"It was fun. Now go, Davian Na Ohne."
"You go."
The Emperor's eyebrows twitched.
Davian brought his left hand, which had created the fire element magic, to the handle of the ice sword.
Early in the first semester of the first year.
The forest behind the Medio Garden.
"So? The reason you suddenly appeared in front of me is because that friend and I have something in common?"
"Yeah. I was just passing by, but I was surprised to see you swinging that magical ice club. It's like seeing Erium when he was young."
"Does this sword disappear completely when the magical power is completely released and it melts?"
"That's right. It's the same principle as your ice club."
"That's a shame. Such a cool sword."
"A shame?"
"Of course. Besides, with this level of strength, it seems more solid than most precious swords."
"The more your magical power increases, the stronger this sword will become. How about it? Do you want it?"
"This sword?"
"Yeah. Should I let you use this sword?"
Whoosh.
A gift from the ice spirit Glacie.
The ice sword began to vibrate finely.
Summer vacation of the first year.
Chief Hugo Molton's personal training space.
"Magical power, internal power, and external power have slightly different training methods. So, the magical power dwelling in the heart, the internal power dwelling in the dantian, and the external power dwelling in the muscles have different properties. But you see."
Hugo Molton stared intently into Davian's eyes.
"The mana absorbed into your body is a bit special. It's true that it's absorbed into the heart, dantian, and muscles, but its properties are not very different."
"Ah……."
Only then did Davian seem to know what Hugo Molton was trying to say.
And he could vaguely understand the reason why he had such unique mana.
"That's what you mean."
"Do you understand?"
"I think so."
Chief Hugo stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"Indeed, you're smart. Davian Na Ohne. Then do you realize the reason why I called you out today and the truth you need to master in the future?"
It's already been 4 years.
Glacie gave Davian an ice sword that became sharper and stronger as he grew stronger.
And Chief Hugo Molton pointed out that Davian's mana was different from other people's.
Whoosh.
The ice sword, which had been blocked by Emperor Kaiser Rapax's muscles and could no longer move forward, vibrated finely.
Whoosh.
Pure flames were sucked into the sword through the handle.
It was an instantaneous event.
For a moment, Davian could see the surprised expression on the Emperor's face.
He was always a guy who laughed and acted relaxed.
But this time, he seemed a little flustered.
As expected.
The flustered Kaiser Rapax gave strength to the hand that was holding Davian's head.
Thwack!
Davian's head exploded.
At the same time.
Kaboom!
A mana sword shot out from the tip of Davian's ice sword.
To be exact, it couldn't be called a mana sword.
A mana sword is an energy created by injecting internal power into a sword and causing resonance.
That energy spreads out in a fan shape when the caster swings the sword strongly.
Even Chief Hugo Molton, who was called the greatest swordsman on the continent, was the same.
What Davian Na Ohne developed from that was sending out the mana sword with a stabbing motion.
Davian is the only person on the continent who can do this.
But even this requires a strong stabbing motion to be accompanied at the same time for the mana sword to be shot out.
But now, Davian injected the flames learned from the dragon into the ice sword and exploded it.
The energy of the flames that exploded inside the ice sword was shot forward along the sharp blade.
The mana sword and the dragon's pure flames merged into one.
The sword was stuck and couldn't move because it was held by the Emperor's muscles.
But the reddish and sharp energy that was spewing out from the tip of the sword.
Was hotter and sharper than anything else.
Ting.
=====
The 'Bulgasari's Heart' that was absorbed as the fatal wound was being healed is activated.
=====
=====
[Bulgasari's Heart]
―Rarity: ★★★★
―Usable count: 1
―The moment your heart stops. Another chance comes in that spot.
―Damaged body parts are not restored upon revival.
=====
The item Bulgasari's Heart has been activated.
With this item, you cannot restore damaged body parts yourself.
Davian's amazing regeneration ability continued even after he died from his head exploding.
Of course, he wouldn't have been able to revive without this item.
The exploded head would have regenerated until the moment the body's warmth remained, but soon it would have cooled down like any other corpse.
It took a little more time even after the Bulgasari's Heart was activated for Davian to barely recover his hearing.
It would be a very terrible sight for someone to see.
But for Davian himself, it was just the process of regaining the senses of his lost head one by one.
But.
'Crazy bastard……. He's not dead?'
The moment his head exploded.
He clearly confirmed it.
A mana sword containing flames was clearly shot out from the tip of the ice sword.
'I thought it definitely pierced his heart.'
He could feel rough breathing coming from not far away as his hearing recovered.
'He may not be dead, but he's probably in a state where he can't even move properly. I have to get up quickly and finish him off.'
But.
He couldn't move at all, as if his head and body had been separated.
A little later.
His vision began to return vaguely.
Now he could move his arms and legs little by little.
'Finish him off quickly…….'
He looked towards the sound with blurry vision.
A huge body.
It was Emperor Kaiser Rapax.
Davian barely raised his body by placing his hands on the ground.
At that moment.
"Indeed. You have revived, Davian Na Ohne."
Could it be that he was waiting for him?
To start the battle again?
"I definitely killed that girl that day. She was your close friend. But I received a report that she was alive and well and returned to your continent."
Is he talking about Latia Meridiem?
"I ordered them to find out what happened. The report came up after a long time. The report said that you and that girl had dealt with the Bulgasari together. 'He who takes the Bulgasari's heart shall obtain the Bulgasari's body.' I never thought that saying would be true."
While Davian was listening to the Emperor's ramblings.
His vision became quite clear.
'What... is that?'
Not far away.
The Emperor was sitting on the floor with a thud.
There was a hole in his left shoulder that seemed to have been pierced from his right waist.
He was holding his heart with his right hand.
It looked like he was sitting on a large red carpet because of how much blood he had shed.
"Can you see my appearance, Davian Na Ohne."
Davian slowly opened his mouth.
"I can see."
"Yes, you should."
The Emperor, who took a deep breath, slowly stood up.
He was moving so slowly that it took a long time for his large body to fully stretch out.
Davian, who until just now only thought about finishing off the Emperor quickly.
Is now just quietly watching the Emperor's appearance.
Davian asked.
"Did you wait for me to wake up?"
"That's right."
"Clutching onto death?"
The Emperor smirked.
He doesn't seem to have the strength to laugh and say Kahahaha.
He looked down at his right hand, which was holding his heart.
"This hand. It feels like I'm going to get a cramp from how much strength I've been giving it. Yes. You're right, Davian Na Ohne."
