Eris's Stance

When the dust finally cleared, Gilgamesh stood tall with his sword raised while Eris tried to push forward with all her might.

"Faster and more brutal!"

As she was pushed back, Eris attacked horizontally, and she kept doing it faster and faster, to the point that even Ghislaine was very surprised at Eris's level of fencing, given that she had only trained with Gilgamesh in recent months.

The Golden Lion Sword style was fierce, but it meticulously handled any kind of enemy with ferocious attacks and calculated trajectories. Gilgamesh only moved his body to dodge his opponent's attacks.

Although it seemed that Gilgamesh was merely dodging, he was looking for errors in Eris's stance to later correct them and make her stronger. Everyone thinks that talent alone can make one powerful, but even the talented must exert themselves if they want to reach true power.

Soon enough, Eris realized Gilgamesh's purpose, so she tried to maintain her stance and handle her sword with greater precision.

It takes a beast to defeat another beast.

Eris had to admit that she was still far behind Gilgamesh. Her fiancé's sword skill was much more stable than hers.

But that wouldn't stop her; she still had good moves she wanted to connect with Gilgamesh regardless of the outcome of this battle.

This time, she would use a technique called the Lion's Leap, which involved an incredible jump and, upon landing, executing a downward sword attack that created a shockwave affecting the ground below, targeting Gilgamesh who would be beneath it.

Yes, that technique was the last one she would use...

"His strength, endurance, perception, and senses are incomparable to mine. There's no need to prolong this battle further... If he tries to read my moves, all I'll do is launch a powerful attack."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The slow but chaotic, unrestrained yet precise duel reached a turning point for Eris. With time, both had reached a connection that couldn't be found in a real battle.

But for both Gilgamesh and Eris, it wasn't good for this to drag on, as it would become quite dull.

And Gilgamesh wasn't the only one thinking that. Eris believed it too; she enjoyed the fights, but only when they were against Gilgamesh.

"You should have realized it by now, haven't you, Eris?" Gilgamesh thought as he began to counterattack Eris's weak points.

Gilgamesh was too lazy to estimate the strength of his attacks because, since his last life, he had never held back his strength. He had started doing it after reincarnating, but he still wasn't very good at it.

Therefore, Gilgamesh decided to use a bit more of his brute strength.

In the past, when facing an enemy, he would use just a bit more force than his opponent. But he couldn't do that with Eris, as it could have serious consequences. Needless to say, if he unleashed a blow with all his physical strength, he would split this place in two.

"Here I come!"

Omm!

Suddenly, Eris attacked from a distance where Gilgamesh was, and due to the dust that obscured his vision, it gave an advantage to her opponent, which Eris took advantage of by leaping as high as she could while using her most powerful technique. Her body gleamed in a golden hue, but unlike other times, this time she had a chance.

When the strong winds arrived, the dust cleared, and Gilgamesh could see Eris's figure, which he had already sensed for a long time.

Golden Lion Sword style, Lion's Leap!

Once Eris located Gilgamesh, her slender figure filled with strength and crashed directly into her target, completely destroying the battle platform.

Boom!

The explosion was so strong that even the grand hall resonated, shaking both it and the surroundings. This impact was much stronger than what a Sword Saint could achieve, which was precisely why Gilgamesh's sword style was so powerful.

Eris knew that her strike had been powerful, but for some reason, it wasn't enough. She felt as if, after releasing that blow, a strong hand held her by the waist, and they landed gracefully on the ground.

"How?"

Eris quickly wanted to free herself from Gilgamesh's arms, but he didn't let her go until he said, "Enough, my dear Eris. Do you want to end your fiancé's life?"

This remark made Eris calm down, and after regaining her composure, she remained still, and her gaze met Gilgamesh's so closely that even he himself became a little impatient.

"If you want to kiss me, I won't refuse, but I admit that a single kiss at our age is no different from..." Gilgamesh lowered his gaze and saw a sword resting on his shoulder.

"I won!" Eris said with a wide smile on her sweaty face.

"Do you consider that a victory?" Gilgamesh didn't mind and let Eris stand up before others saw them.

"Of course, I couldn't defeat you in any other way than with my charms." Eris sheathed her sword and walked through the debris without looking at Gilgamesh, who stood there confused.

"That doesn't even count as a victory; you were in my arms," said Gilgamesh as the dust cleared.

"Then don't casually embrace women," Eris murmured softly.

"You're the first female person I've embraced in this life; not even the goddesses have experienced me carrying them." Gilgamesh shook his head as he looked at the people who were curious about what had happened.

"Let's declare this battle a draw," Gilgamesh said with a smile, then asked, "Does anyone else want to participate in a fight?"

There was a dead silence when he asked if anyone wanted to fight in front of everyone. Even if they were to fight Eris Greyrat, they would be defeated so quickly that they wouldn't even have a chance to raise their swords.
