Odin released the seal on his sword. He showed a beautiful sharp blade that spoiled everyone's eyes. Regarding its strength and quality is unquestionable. It was very clear that it was on par with the Kusanagi sword, a high-level quality, God tier.
"This fight is becoming more and more exciting."
A smile grew on Rigel's lips, though it could not be seen thanks to the mask covering his face. However, Odin seemed to realize that the opponent in front of him was clearly smiling.
"This sword fits me perfectly. It's called the Sword of Odin, just like my name. His strength was clearly comparable or perhaps stronger than that of the boy's sword. And also, not just anyone can use it."
"It's surprising, if you can guess the quality of my sword," Leo sneered and smiled wryly.
"Well! The one who has experienced the various circumstances that almost made you die must be aware of the quality of the sword in one look... Right, Matsu?"
Odin seems provoking, but it is clear from his words that he has ulterior intentions. Judging from the way he spoke, it was as if he knew that his opponent had experienced a great deal of experience between life and death. Instead of lingering and making his identity slowly revealed by a person as sharp as Odin, it was good to end the fight immediately.
"Leo, Tiger. We'll end this quickly."
Hearing Rigel's orders, Leo and Tiger took a step back and positioned themselves around Rigel. Surely they do not have to do it, but in this way, Rigel can provide Power up more easily.
"Heh, I don't hate people like you... I'll start being serious now too."
His sword glowed as Odin lowered his head. He positioned his sword behind his back so that it would not be easy to see where he was going to attack.
Leo began to pick up the horses, positioned his sword in front of his chest and collected the scattered Mana particles.., "Technik one: Incision."
Golden light gathered around Leo and busted the sword blade shining brilliantly. Rigel did not know clearly what Leo had learned with Tirith and Altucray. But at the very least, he would see the extent of his development.
Garfiel crossed his claws and closed his eyes. The ground where he stood slowly cracked and white fine feathers covered his body. The fangs of the savage beast as well as its sharp eyes changed to exactly like that of the white Tiger. Garfiel muttered something :
"Transforms...!!"
Transformation of the rare Demi-human race, the Hakurou. The only race that is likely to have a connection with the white tiger catastrophe of the past. A sight that can be described as a once in a lifetime sight.
The spectators who were watching shouted with excitement, as if they no longer cared about the money they were betting.
"Well, whoa, whoa, whoa! What a sight to the eyes! For the first time in the arena, Tiger used his form of transformation! Is it possible that he considers Odin to be equal or stronger than him?!!"
The host began to stir up himself about the thing that happened before his eyes. As expected, if Rigel took advantage of Garfiel's transformation, people would think that eventually Matsu's team ran out of ways against Odin.
In reality, Rigel could defeat Odin with just one blink of an eye. But this is necessary if you do not want to appear too flashy, even though they are very striking.
"It's not good for me not to be serious... Come back."
Saying that, Rigel pulled his Dragon back to hell and gathered many black shadows under his feet. I don't know what people say, if watching a Hero use evil forces. Well, Rigel doesn't really care about it. Even if Moris opened his mouth, his words would only end up being rumors and it was easy for Rigel to silence his mouth.
"That's great... Let's do it fast!"
Odin jumps forward, along with Leo until a violent clash between them. Their swords pitted against each other to create sparks due to the friction of the two hard metals. Their strength was so great, that it created a gust of wind strong enough to raise the flag.
But no matter how strong Leo is, Odin still remains superior in the power so it is not difficult to throw Leo. Before he was completely knocked down, Garfiel who was in the form of a white tiger now pounced forward from the other side with both of his claws.
Odin is unable to use his sword, as he is dealing with Leo. He had no other choice but to use his left hand to hold down Garfiel's claws and fangs.
A CRUCH!
Blood came out of his hands, as a result of Garfiel's claws tearing at his flesh. Odin was slightly upset, but he grabbed Garfiel's head and prevented him from leaving to avoid another attack.
He was so busy confronting Garfiel and Leo that he did not realize that Rigel had finished preparing his preparations.
Rigel stretched out his right hand and used a shadow under his foot that was in the shape of a single but sharp thorn. The shadow darted toward Odin, almost about him. But Odin brilliantly avoided it by throwing Garfiel into a shadowy cross and kicking Leo afterwards.
Rigel had nothing but admiration for such a unique yet fearsome fighting style. The ability to think keritis and the ability to make urgent decisions is not an easy thing to do.
In the midst of a fight that can take lives, there is almost no time to think calmly so the ability to think keritis and make urgent decisions is very important.
Fighting is not just exchanging fists and swords. But fighting also reveals each other's strategies and take difficult decisions to win.
Odin jumps back to avoid the siege. He began to correct his position and lunged forward at an even faster speed. Leo and Garfiel are on the verge of losing, but they can still keep up with Odin's pace and block him.
Odin looked unconcerned and with great killing intent, he swung his sword wide and with all his might.
A BANG!
The strong wind from the swing of his sword inflicted damage to the ground. Luckily Rigel's magic shield arrives just in time, otherwise don't know what will happen to Leo and Garfiel.
Although the shield came just in time, it was only useful to reduce its impact, not its attack. Leo and Garfiel remained slammed into the arena wall and created quite a severe rift. Leo and Garfiel vomited a little blood, their bodies started to weaken because their internal organs felt like they were squeezing something.
Hm? So anyway. I understand the sword's ability.
The host shouted and along with him the audience went crazy due to the great fight they witnessed. Unlike zone A, where everyone other than Alexander immediately clapped their knees in front of Marionette. For zones B, C, and D it is quite satisfying, but zone E will be the most interesting event from the previous zone.
Odin placed the back of his sword on his shoulder and smiled boldly. Even so, he seemed to have no intention of saying that he had won or anything. He looked more like he was trying to convey something.
"The two boys are indeed very capable, but they have their own shortcomings, especially the sword boy," Odin said looking at Leo.
"My sword skills and techniques are so great that it reminds me of someone who sucks. However, technique alone is useless. All this boy needed was a real fighting experience, and for the tiger boy there, he had to learn more patience and rethink before deciding to attack."
Rather than demeaning and declaring that this was his victory, Odin explained the real flaws that Leo and Garfiel had. For Leo he has understood, but unexpectedly Odin realizes something Rigel does not realize about Garfiel's shortcomings.
"I admit that your observations are very good, maybe even better than mine. If so, I also have my observations regarding your sword," Rigel realized one thing about Odin's sword and to be honest, it was quite troublesome to deal with that sword.
"The sword gives the opponent a debuff effect in the form of decreased physical strength and resistance to magic. Not only that, from my observation, the wound caused by the sword was completely incurable in the usual way. Then, the part that made it troublesome was the stronger the opponent faced, the stronger the debuff effect and the sharpness of the sword increased to compensate for the opponent's strength."
Odin slightly chuckled, a wide smile that really looked very happy growing on his lips. He did not even attempt to deny it at all, as Rigel's observations were entirely correct.
"Haha! I thought you were such an interesting and horrible person! That's right, this sword ability is exactly what you expected, although there are some things that you didn't expect and I don't intend to reveal..., it is true that this sword is very suitable to face strong people because this sword will follow the strength of its opponent. Even so, not everyone can use this sword because it is difficult to control."
When viewed from the other side, the sword looked extremely admirable. However, that does not mean without any flaws at all. Rigel's belief was absolute, that there was a limit to how far the sword was able to follow the strength of its opponent. Otherwise, he would have already defeated Rigel or even the monster of doom.
Wait, if for example it is true that the sword is getting stronger and adjusting to the opponent, is it possible that he knows that the sword cannot adjust to the opponent or the like? If so then, inner Rigel.
If so, then it would not be surprising if Odin knew the figure named 'Matsu' was not an ordinary person.
"Hmm, it seems like the title of the strongest solo fighter is not a mere empty seat. Not only is your sword troublesome, but I admit you are extremely capable and your fusion with that sword is indeed a perfect fit."
"Hahaha, what an honor it is to receive your praise... As a thank you, I will attack you!"
Rigel was certainly surprised, with Odin's previous formal attitude. But there was no time to think about it, because Odin had moved quickly and swung the sword right above his head.
Rigel dodged slightly to the left and made Odin's sword hit the ground. However, Odin instantly changed his direction and made his sword cut through the air and towards the side of Rigel's waist.
Rigel jumped up and took a powerful step on Odin's sword blade and made his sword crash into the ground forcefully, but unfortunately it did not break. Rigel sends a powerful kick to Odin's face, but is avoided by looking up into the sky. But that was Rigel's intention. He sends back his legs and makes Axe kick in Odin's face and makes his nose hurt.
"Aargha!"
Odin groans and sends his fists to Rigel, but too late, he has been behind him and is leaning against Odin's back.
"Looks like that sword can't capture my power, huh?"
Rigel sneered, of course with a quiet voice that the audience would not hear. Odin soon became delighted with Rigel's words. With a big smile on his lips, Odin said in a whisper :
"As expected of the Hero lord who defeated three doom monsters. My hope of leaving at least a scratch on your skin won't be able to materialize."
If he said three, then it was unmistakable that it included Hydra. It seemed like he had guessed that the real identity of the figure named 'Matsu' was 'Hero Creator, Amatsumi Rigel'.
"No, no. I admit your skills are very great and you are very suitable for teaching? If interested, I'll give you a job in the Region."
"Indeed an interesting offer and I would like to discuss a few things before accepting or rejecting after this fight...!!"
Odin stretched out his elbow and Rigel jumped away to avoid it. Rigel sends out some shadows and makes Odin have to keep avoiding. When he saw a little gap, Rigel sent Asura Punch and hit Odin's stomach, making him vomit the contents of the stomach.
Odin knelt on his stomach, but he was really surprised to learn that Rigel had been in front of him and used his feet to smash Odin's head right into the arena ground.
His head was leaking and Odin no longer moved or resisted. Some may think that Odin was dead, but in fact he was barely conscious. Before his consciousness disappeared, he muttered, "I give up," while giving his sword.
"Then, I take this sword as your precious possession.it's a very good fight, Odin."
"Well, whoa, whoa, whoa! It was unexpected that the strongest solo fighter would be defeated by a newcomer! There are only rare Necromancer abilities, but this newcomer named Matsu is very good at martial arts!"
The host said cheerfully, as happy and disappointed voices flooded the audience.
"Gee! Damnit damnit! I bet pretty much on Odin!"
"Lucky I bet on the newcomer."
"Ahh, I bet ten thousand gold for Odin."
Among the sad and losers, only Moris seemed to laugh happily because of the many benefits. However, despite his pleasure, he hides the disappointment that Rigel did not kill Odin.
Rigel drew Odin's sword and sensed that the Mana within him was being absorbed by it. The number may be quite a lot, but not enough to affect Rigel.
So I see, the intent of this sword is difficult to control.., in short, maybe not just anyone can use it and only Odin can use it.
Then it is better to immediately put it into infentory because it will be troublesome to bring something that continuously reduces Mana. Well, about Moris and Odin's problem, it'll be solved later.
