The cheers disappeared from the arena.

The people were imagining a duel by a super-class swordsman.

I thought you could enjoy the rewards of the splendid moves.

But what was happening in front of me was a fight.

Elna's sword tears apart her unnamed skin, but at the same time her unnamed fists damage Elna's internal organs.

"Cut it out... give it up!"

Erna's sword pierces the no-name's shoulder.

But at the same time, the no-name fist caught Erna's abdomen.

Exquisite counter.

I didn't have time to lose my strength.

"Kaha...!"

"That's it... why don't you stop being mean!"

The fist is an attack on the inside of the body, and Erna spits blood on her knees.

In that gap, the no-name pulls out Erna's sword and takes a distance.

Breathing out loudly at each other, they don't lose their game.

"That's not funny... I'm only half strong...?"

"I see... I'm still about 30%"

"It was a mistake... I haven't given you 20% yet..."

"I haven't given you 10% yet....."

Even in a state of trauma, the argument continues.

But I can't feel my body.

We were too attacked by each other.

Still, they moved their bodies with feelings.

In an instant, they disappear from the audience's eyes.

And in the middle they hit each other.

Against Erna's sword, the no-name is a magically enhanced fist.

Neither step yields, and eventually the power erupts on the spot.

He got caught up in it, and Erna and No-name were blown to the wall.

"It's so... pretty..."

Elna stood up whispering.

The no-name also stood up in front of him.

We don't have much time.

The set time limit is approaching.

If we keep cutting each other like this, the time limit will come.

Erna didn't want such a settlement.

"I promised to win..."

Slowly, the magic accumulated in Erna's sword.

In a narrow arena, you don't get the chance to use big moves.

However, if the opponent and I are exhausted, we have to bet on each other's shots.

Because we don't have much time.

The no-name also accumulated magic in the sword.

Erna paints the pentagram with her sword.

But in the same way, the no-name painted the pentagram.

The last move I chose was oddly the same.

"Okiyoshi-"

"--Star engraving"

The moves of the first brave lord who broke the ancestors of the name in the previous duel.

Of course, it was passed on to the Baron's family, but it was also passed on to the no-name family that took the action.

It's time for the final battle.

Don't delay in your moves.

It's a gift from my ancestors.

They stormed through the center of the Pentagon.

The same moves collide in the center of the arena, and the entire arena shakes in the aftermath.

And then...

Erna and No-name were wrapped in light.

The force seeks an exit, breaking through the silver boundary and ascending into the sky.

The breakdown of the boundary prompted the SS class adventurers on the spot to move into a state of emergency.

Because if we have to, we have to stop it.

But Al doesn't move.

"Time."

The sand of the hourglass that had been prepared fell out and a time horn was blown.

The sound echoes throughout the arena and eventually throughout the Imperial Capital.

With that sound, the light slowly subsides.

The center of the arena.

Elna stood there.

The tip of the sword was pointing towards the no-name's throat, kneeling before his eyes.

But...

The no-name sword was also pointed at Erna's chest.

Given each other's strengths, it is not conceivable to move away from that distance.

Hence.

"That's it!! This match is in the name of the Emperor!It's a draw!! "

The Emperor immediately issued a decree.

Together with that voice, the Knight Kinsai enters the arena.

Because the two of them who were too obsessed with fighting might want to settle.

And they're both taking considerable damage.

The treatment was also necessary.

They refused to take care of the Knights of the Guard.

Stand back.

"No treatment required"

They chased back the Knights of the Guards and turned their gaze on each other.

And then...

"Next time, I will win."

"Here's the dialogue."

They accepted today's results.

The terms were the same.

I was also aware of the limited time.

I was convinced that it was my current strength that could not be settled.

Speak to those two.

"I got a great ride.The emperor, who has seen more horsemen, will not.I and the Empress are very satisfied. Well done. "

Elna knelt to the words of the emperor.

The no-name fell down quietly, though not on his knees.

Because that was minimal courtesy.

Looking at those two, the emperor received a book from the prime minister.

"From now on, this knockout will be passed on.Such a knock-on. If you don't reward anything, future generations will laugh.But they are SS Adventurers and the brave men of our time.There's only so much I can give you. "

Father raised his right hand while saying so.

As a sign, a number of giant spherical magic devices have been brought into the arena.

"The magic equipment is connected to the Adventurer Alliance branches across the continent.Through its branches, the voice of the eagle reaches the continent. "

It's a continental speech that the Adventurer Alliance, the Empire, and many nations have worked together on.

That's...

It was a sin every 500 years.

"To all who dwell on the continent.I am John Lakes Ardler, emperor of the Ardrasian Empire.Please forgive the rudeness of calling out suddenly.I have something to tell you this time. "

The voice of the Emperor is delivered across the continent.

It can't be normal.

But it was necessary.

"Five hundred years ago, there was a swordsman who was active in the war against the devil.The swordsman, who lined up with the first Baron of Warriors, offered the first Baron of Warriors a ride before the duel with the Demon King.It was a knockout to decide who would use the Holy Sword.Eventually, the swordsman was defeated, and mankind took his swordsman as one with the devil and erased his name from history. "

The act of pulling the brave man's feet made him an enemy of mankind.

It won't be a compliment.

However, the achievements of the past do not disappear.

"But the swordsman kept fighting for mankind.I stayed on the front lines with the brave for the human race that was being hunted down.In one mistake, the name was erased from history for 500 years.This could be described as a human mistake.It was a fair knockout.Of course the timing would have been bad.But do you have the right to blame only those who have been saved?The First Baron had hoped that the swordsman's name would eventually be lifted from the darkness of history.I want to make that wish come true. "

The emperor opens a book.

It was a book without an author's name.

It's a book that I don't know who wrote.

However, it was kept in a place that only the royal family could read.

Al was the one who discovered it.

The book deals with the battle against the devil 500 years ago, and the last page contains the names of the two swordsmen who contributed most to the battle against the devil.

One was the first Baron of Bravery.

And the other one.

"Emperor Johannes apologizes for his mistakes 500 years ago as the lord of a nation that certainly survived 500 years ago.We should not have forgotten.The swordsman whose name has been erased from history is Irvine Knox.Now I will return this name in the name of the Emperor.Protecting humanity 500 years ago.And now, as a SS class adventurer, he continues to be the protector of mankind.Two thanks and apologies.Thank you, and I'm sorry. Descendants of Knox... no name "

The emperor lowered his head quietly.

And all the royal families that were there stood up and lowered their heads.
