章節 3: Taste of Defeat

Enfoure and The King begin to attack, but Yose? manages to dodge and counter both their blows at the same time. Yose?'s movements are unpredictable and erratic, keeping Enfoure and the king on their toes. Yose? begins to talk with a cocky tone while trading blows. "It seems that I haven't lost my might huh?" Each time Yose? dodges a blow, he lands a devastating counterattack that gets more stronger than the last one. Enfoure and the king begin to coordinate their attacks, attempting to overwhelm Yose? with multiple angles of attack...The King's sword connects with Yose?'s left arm, cutting it off completely. Forcing Yose? to create some distance between them. The King grins and talks after seeing this. "Don't waste my time and heal yourself." Enfoure gets ready for the round 2 and rushes at Yose?. Keeping his cocky tone, Yose? responds...

"I don't need to." Yose? immediately speed blitzes Enfoure and catches him from his face, slamming him to the ground below. Shattering the ground below completely and knocking Enfoure out cold. After hearing this massive noise, guards rushes into the throne room including King Grimorth's right hand man Trion. He rushes into the throne room along with the other guards. They see the massive scene of destruction and the unconscious body of Enfoure on the ground. There is complete silence from everyone, as they watch the situation unfold. Yose? stands in the center of the destruction, grinning confidently. King Grimorth walks slowly towards Yose?. Trion and the other guards draw their swords in case Yose's? behavior shifts to become more hostile. As King Grimorth gets close, Yose? speaks again...

"You are a strong opponent. Let's see you getting serious, 'King'." King Grimorth laughs and claps his hands as if finally getting to fight a true opponent. "It has been a while since I last fought someone worthy of my time. I do not plan on letting you live today." King Grimorth signals to the guards and Trion to stand their ground and don't interfere. Trion turns around and tells the guards exactly that and they start to watch while still being alert. Yose? and the King begin to move simultaneously, each making a strike at the same time. Their speed and force clash, sending out two powerful shockwaves that shake the floor and shatter the pillars. Yose? then follows up with a series of rapid kicks that send the King back, but the King quickly recovers and retaliates with a flurry of strikes. The power of each clash creating deep cuts and wounds on each opponent's body...this is truly going to be an all out fight to the death. Still refusing to heal himself, Yose?...keeps fighting with the same intensity while only using one arm. King Grimorth begins to gain the upper hand in the fight, landing more precise and powerful blows on Yose?. Despite his injuries and the fact that he is fighting with one arm, Yose? is still putting up a fierce struggle and managing to deal considerable damage to the king as well. The King's superior experience and knowledge of various fighting techniques are giving him an edge over Yose?, who is relying solely on instinct and raw power to keep up with the King. As the fight intensifies, both opponents are bleeding from multiple wounds...yet neither one is showing any sign of slowing down. The King suddenly lands a powerful strike on Yose? right in the middle of his chest, causing him to stumble back in pain and shock. Yose? struggles to catch his breath as he tries to regain his composure. The King smiles and takes this opportunity to unleash his technique.

True Judgment

The King's signature technique, "True Judgment." is an incredibly powerful technique that is said to inflict damage in accordance with the sin level of the opponent. The stronger the sin, the greater the damage caused.

He slams his sword down onto Yose? with immense speed and force. The attack lands directly on Yose? chest, creating a large shockwave that shakes the entire room. Yose? can be heard screaming out in pain and agony, as he falls to the ground. The King stands there calmly, watching as Yose? struggles on the floor in pain. Yose? is struggling on the floor, breathing heavily and painfully. Blood is oozing from his wound, and he can barely move his body. The King approaches him slowly and looks down at him with a cold grin. He is about to deliver the final blow when he suddenly stops. He seems to be reconsidering his actions, as he looks at Yose? lying there on the ground. The fact that Yose? has not healed himself is baffling to the King, who cannot understand why he would do so. Yose? manages to look up at the King, struggling to even speak. "Y-You will p-pay...". He goes unconscious and there is a moment of silence. The King looks at the guards and Trion with a confident smile on his face. Sheathing his sword shortly after and walking to Enfoure who is still laying on the ground unconscious. The King checks his pulse and talks to a guard. "Bring him to a healer. He fought well." The guard nods and starts to carry him to the healer. King Grimorth then takes a deep breath and starts to walk back to his throne. He then finally looks at Yose's unconscious body one last time...
