Chapter 146: Showdown for love~2!

[Arata's PoV: ]

It burns.

Every single component of my body was burning painfully ever since I decided to strike Maydeath to at least inflict some damage.

It was tough for me to hurt someone I have loved for years but to win her attention so that she at least looks in my way, I had to do it. I have to harden my will and devote everything I possess to this battle.

Maydeath, the character from the canon did not possess both flame and wind elements which meant the information regarding Miyuki was all true. She has been training herself all this time since she wanted to claim Seth for her.

How complicated is this?

I couldn't even laugh.

[Already done, partner?]

The old man asked, already aware of my answer but he had to say things that could rile me up. But thanks to that, I did not dwell on unnecessary thoughts for now.

I have a far better matter to focus on. I need to beat Maydeath, whatever it takes.

"Call of the God: First Phase. Enshroud... "I muttered under my breath before a massive amount of lightning poured through the roof and barrier before dropping on me.

**RUMBLE**

The ground shook, and the audience gasped, as the effect of such high voltage was anything but settling. However, I was not getting damaged by it. Rather I found each pore of my entire being getting enhanced passing each second.

My senses were amplified and so was my physical strength. My primary skill Body Strengthening could have never provided me with this much power and thankfully I obtained it before walking into this arena.

The frozen lava crystal cracked and broke into dust. The thunder finally halted as I stood straight facing Maydeath.

My body was brimming with energy and visible sparks leaking from various points. I have never felt this alive before.

[Now control your emotions and let your instincts just direct your movements. ]

I did as the old man said and with a strong exhale which turned out a small gust, I threw away all my useless thoughts.

It's time to show how much I have changed, Miyuki.

****

[Seth's POV]

'So he already achieved the Phase...' To perform any sword movement of the Thunder Emperor, Arata requires to enter a phase that can also be called a domain.

His body would be provided with enough strength and agility to perform any particular movement. Like the First, Sword Art requires Arata to be charged up with Thunder to perform the ritual. In this state, his physical capabilities elevate in leaps and bounds.

And just to prove my thoughts to be right, the place where Arata was previously standing, was vacated with a small crater left at the spot.

Even I had a hard time keeping a record when he launched himself. His image grew blurry and Arata once again moved around the arena, but not in a circular path this time.

He was leaping in a crisscross manner and every time he neared Maydeath, a single slash would be directed at the crimson-haired.

"She can use the Earth element as well... " Kevin muttered under his breath, evidently astonished to see someone utilizing the same element with which Kevin is proficient. However, from what I know, the current Kevin would not be able to erect a barrier with such precision and pace.

Every time Maydeath felt Arata's strike nearing her, she cast a long pillar of rock from the ground only to get shattered just the very moment Arata passed by.

Unfortunately for Arata that Miyuki is also aware of the plot and the protagonist so it was natural that she would be aware of all sword arts.

The First Fold: Heaven's descendent.

Arata hasn't used it until now and was just utilizing his elevated agility to anonymously strike Maydeath...well he was trying to but Maydeath never seemed even a bit struggling against those many assaults one after another.

Within half a minute, Arata has launched over a hundred strikes, approximately, three strikes per second, that kind of boost the Protagonist has received just by unleashing the first fold of his true powers.

"When did he get this strong...I mean, he was pretty much dominating every selection match but I have never seen Arata in such an overpowering state... "

Ciel muttered both in amazement and seriousness, since whenever she sees someone crossing her expectation, a sense of rivalry ignites within.

'But...can he still execute his move and win this... ' Once Arata concluded his ultimate move he would be a wasted material and the repercussions of pushing his body outside his bounds, would be inflicted severely.

Regardless of my thoughts, Arata was going to utilize the First Fold, which I was sure of...

[Third person POV: ]

Arata knew he was running out of gas.

He has continued assaulting Maydesth from every angle possible yet her defense remained rigid as ever. She has yet to waver from her stance even once and all she did was stare dazedly toward the Pristine's participants' stands. More precisely, at Seth.

More than the fact that she was not bothered by his enhanced movements, what irritated Arata was the fact that she was lost in Seth even though this was supposed to be his time to shine in her eyes.

[Calm down, Kid. You may not have sensed it but the barriers that lass has been putting around her have been growing a little weaker compared to before. Now you can easily slice through her defenses but the concern remained, how you would approach her if there is still a chance of her burning you once again? ]

Facing Myadeath's wrath once again was not in his tolerance capabilities so doing anything recklessly was out of the question. Though it was true that Maydeath's earthen pillar has been a little weaker than before, Arata still cannot wait until her Soul Energy drains out.

He himself would collapse the very next minute.

'Guess there is no other option... '

Arats initially intended to finish this match with his untraceable speed but now that things have to come to this...Arata had to give his all.

"Exhausted already? " Maydeath raised her brows upon seeing Arata halting his feet in front of her.

Now that he notices, there were some beads of sweat on her forehead as well, and her breathing also seemed a little ragged assured him that there couldn't be any better time to bring out the big guns.

'She has weakened... '

Arata's heart pained in doing this but there was nothing else left to rely upon. He had to do this!

Raising his arms with his eyes now devoid of any feature and pure current filling the gap, Arata cast more than a hundred swords in mid-air, all made of pure Thunder element.

The common thing about them was that their tip was bent in Maydeath's direction.

With his expression turning solemn, Arata muttered some words before he launched every single sword in Maydeath's direction.

"I am sorry, Miyuki... "
