Chapter 68: The Two Swordsmen

At last, it begins. The battle of the Swords. Jin, it must be complicated for you.

Yeah. But both sides are competing with their lives on the line. Whatever the outcome, I will accept it.

(Even if one of them has to die. Yes, Father.)

Jin and Zoids watching from the spectators seats, here in the spectators seats reserved for the students of the Valhalla School.

But their eyes are not on spectating, because what is about to begin is a genuine killing contest.

And on one side is a father. On the other a friend.

It is impossible to be in a state of mind to call it spectating.

That is why Jin intends to watch seriously and accept whatever the outcome.

Ken is strong. Much more than me and others. But still, I cant imagine my father losing.

Hes one of the Three Heroes and the strongest in the Empire. I, a mere Holy Knight, cant even begin to estimate either of them.

Well. Lets sit here.

Then Colonel Star sits down next to Jin and the others.

I never thought that that transfer student would end up like this. A duel with the Empires most powerful knight. hmm? Is Reelbert-kun not here?

Yes, I dont see him. Colonel Starr, are you not drinking today?

Normally, Star would have drunk alcohol and been finished.

Today, however, he is not drinking at all, and his expression is still very serious.

I dont feel like drinking when my own students are killing each other. And with Osiris as the opponent. Osiris the Sword Saint, do you know the legend of him being called the Sword Saint?

No, no. only two names.

Osiris was fighting on the battlefield, surrounded by enemies and out of ammunition. It was already a matter of time before he surrendered and was to be tortured and killed. He changed that with a single sword. I heard that he killed 50 enemy KOG at that time.

From that day on, he was called the Sword Saint, and reached a realm where no one could stand against him, as if he had awakened.

There are numerous legends and myths about Osiris.

The most famous one, however, is the story of how he single-handedly slew 50 KOGs of a large enemy force with a single sword.

It is hard to believe at first hand, but many soldiers who were present tell the story.

It was no longer a human being.

He was a saint who loved the sword and had mastered it.

Therefore, he is a sword saint, an incarnation of the sword that no one can beat.

He is a man outside reason who has slaughtered many enemies with only that one sword.

So can the Ken win? Against father.

I dont know, but I have never seen Ken lose, not even in a hard fight, which means it must be the same that he has never faced a defeat.

Well, thats true, but .

Either way, today, this day, will decide who is stronger. Who is truly the strongest in the Empire will be decided.

Then they both look at the central stage.

A huge battlefield of cobblestone, a field so large that two KOGs could rampage through it with no problem.

For now, there is still no one there on the battlefield.

***

Excuse me, Sieg-San, can you carry me to the cockpit?

.

Sieg then carries Kenya on his back and takes him to the cockpit of the Takemikazuchijin.New novel chapters are published on

The two talk over the KOG.

Ken, are you ready? And ready too.

Of course I am, I will do my best to defeat you.

Kenya remains strong, not showing any sign of weakness.

Because it would be the same if he cried out here.

Odin wins, and the world belongs to Odin.

Then I will do my best to show strength.

To deceive even myself, for the sake of my tiny pride.

Very well, then I will say no more.

Osiris Halberd does not know, Kenyas condition.

Odin decided that it would be a bad thing for Osiris, who is a chivalrous man, and that it would affect him negatively in battle.

For a week, Osiris has been just sharpening his claws, continuously training, and not engaging in business affairs.

So Odin made sure that Osiris was the only one not to be informed of any developments regarding Kenya, and he isolated him thoroughly.

Of course, Odin knows that he is not a man whose sword would be dulled by that. But he still does his best.

We are the swords of the royal family. Let the rest speak

Two knights, two swordsmen face each other.

With this sword!

The only thing that makes Kenya stand still is his willpower.

If he relaxes even a little, his consciousness will be taken away, and even so, he cannot fall.

To lose here today would mean that Odin would take the empire and a world war would break out.

We dont know how much blood will be spilled.

So use all your deadly power.

Yes, with this sword, with KOG, because I must accomplish what I want for myself.

***

There you are, Rhode. How was your knight?

Odin knows the answer.

And yet here he is, grinning at Lord, as if agitated.

And next to Odin, Reelbert and Catherine also stands.

We will win, my knight. Dont think you can reason that one out with common sense.

Rhode glances at Reelbert and then quickly shifts his attention to the audience.

Ha ha ha ha! Dont be strong. The men you trusted have betrayed you, and all the power is mine! You have nothing left. Hey, Catherine, Reelbert!

Yes, Odin-Sama. There is no doubt that Osiris-Sama has already won, I think. It is a miracle that he is still in control. Maybe hes already dead inside, he was vomiting so much blood oh, dirty, dirty.

Im sorry Ken-Kun, but I dont think hes going to make it out alive from there.

Odin and Rhode sit on two thrones and look at their respective knights.

I still have some things left in me.

One has a relaxed expression on his face.

The other just straightens up and continues to believe in what remains.

Gong, gong.

The 12 oclock bell rings.

And that meant the gong for the fight was about to ring.

Then both sides are ready, three, two, one Fight!!!!
