Garuda has many names

Once again Kuroka attacked him with an intense move. The first was a jab, then a diagonal locomotive kick targeted Reino's right foot. Arthur continued with was an upward slash and kuroka sent a powerful upper-cut aimed at Reino's jaw. it took one hit to his body, and Reino died. But at that moment, Reino jumped backward, then turned around and jumped far back again, and managed to escape.

"We can't decide the winner if all you do is a dodge. And more importantly, I'm getting bored."

"You know as well as I do, these powers of mine are complex and I can't use them at my will, and when I do, some are uncontrollable. How could I use them against you!?"

"Still the same peace-loving person... well, we will attack with something more dangerous. If you don't want to lose, then you better take this fight more seriously!"

Kuroka recoiled backward, her feet pressing against the crumbling wall. Then starting to write her short spell once more, she started running along the wall, spreading her palms and shooting senjutsu bullets aimed at Reino.

"Caliburn ——I commend you for this mission, O holy sword capable of defending anything. May you tear, stab and tear the enemy! May you conquer, annihilate the enemy, and achieve victory! I leave this battlefield to you."

Arthur also regenerated the spell, activating all of his abilities to the max. After that gently caressed the blade of his favorite sword, and kissed it gently...

He slashed his sword.

The powerful wind blade moved towards Reino, the wind blade disappeared. Reino knew it wasn't what it seemed. Calibrun was a sword capable of slashing dimensions, so the blade of wind certainly wasn't as dissipating as it seemed. In the middle of the empty field where Reino was standing the knife reappeared, almost hitting him with a slight distance had he not dragged his body a few steps to the side.

"...what?"

Confused, Reino looked at Arthur who was standing still, about five meters away. If he wanted to stab her, it was impossible at this distance. Arthur smiled as if he had guessed that his attack would not hit the king that easily. But his job wasn't to defeat Reino, instead, it was just to buy time for Vali to finish his preparations. They all knew how annoying it was to deal with Reino without Divine Dividing: Juggernaut Drive, it was impossible to beat Garuda with divine dividing alone. Vali knew that Reino smashed his armor with only his physical power and dragon slayer attributes.

His ability to split anything in half would also have no effect. Even though Reino didn't realize it he had used this ability from the start and it didn't work. Kuroka said that the basic and passive ability of garuda is very annoying. Garuda can change its body to any size. So Reino is his natural enemy, vali Kryptonite.

——As expected, Vali Lucifer started to change.

His body started to grow bigger. The silver metal develops continuously and gradually takes the form of a dragon, a realistic sculpture. But it didn't just look like a Dragon… what was more incredible, the silver Dragon didn't have a normal size, growled, turned to Reino, and focused on its target.

"You want to attack me with that!"

Reino was surprised and fascinated by the Vali abrupt size. The dragon was almost two stories tall. If there was a bus or truck nearby, maybe he had a chance to fend off the giant beast. But for Reino, measuring 180 centimeters and 69 kilograms, there may be a slight difference in the weight of each.

——The white dragon raised its front paw, preparing to knock it down by crushing it. He moved quickly, hitting Reino stubbornly. It wouldn't be too difficult to compare it to a steel pole that fell from a construction site.

Reino dodged in a panic.

The ground he was standing on just a moment ago had already been ripped and torn apart by those sharp claws and enormous weight. If he got hit, there would be nothing left of him except the bloody mess of the ground. The Dragon happily chased after Reino who dodged. It strikes at lightning speed with its front paws, or strikes with canine teeth or claws as sharp as a sword, tearing things apart, and occasionally throwing its body at it as if it were trying to crush a small animal.

"Looks like Reino-sama isn't very motivated in this duel."

The one who said this to Kuroka was Arthur. Some unknown time, he used magic, because now he was standing on a wall.

"If he just keeps dodging and dodging, We can't determine his strength. Well, your expression tells me you've done what I said before."

In response to the tall youth's comment, Kuroka revealed a brilliant smile.

"I've considered this might well happen. Besides, I've never enjoyed fighting with people... But, this is just the beginning –NYAA~."

"Oh? So what do you mean...?"

" Though Darling tries to resist it, he's still A Campione Nyaa~. He's a person who can seize the ultimate power and invincible. Despite constantly beeping, he doesn't hate fights NYAA ~. All Campiones are similar, Reino is also a genius in the art of fighting, and is also the champion among the hero NYAA~."

"Umm... he's indeed an expert at dodging." Arthur looked at Kuroka suspiciously.

Kuroka looked lovingly at the boy, who was running around desperately.

"Things are about to change—he's almost at the point where he has nowhere else to go?"

"Of course! Watch and pay attention~!"

Before their eyes, the situation suddenly reversed. Facing the Dragon's towering forelegs, Reino took a stance for the first time. To escape the sharp claws grip, he carefully stepped back then leaped forward, and wrapped his arms around its claws. Then he picked it up. Reaching out, he raised the enormous Dragon. Like a weight lifter, Reino, measuring 180cm, lifted the huge Dragon, as big as a truck, high into the air.

"What ——! What kind of power is that!"

"In myth, it is said that Garuda has divine power, enough to rival Bima. The god that Reino defeated, Garuda, has very similar origins—Reino can match him in terms of strength."

Kuroka explained proudly to the dumbfounded Arthur.

Reino had raised the white Dragon to face the sky, throwing it to the ground. One could call it extraordinary strange power. Facing her partner's gaze, Kuroka smirked in satisfaction and replied calmly.

"Garuda has many names, each of them representing his Nature nature. Sitānana, 'white face' green ', rakta-pack S a,' red wings', Suwar n Akaya, 'body' gold, Gaganeśwara, 'king of heaven', Khageśwara, 'king of birds', Nāgāntaka and Pannaganāśana meaning, 'dragon slayer', Sarpārāti, 'enemy of serpents' Taraswin, 'fast one' Rasāyana, 'who moves swiftly as silver' Kāmachārin, 'who goes as he pleases' Kāmāyus, 'who live happy 'Chirād,' eat lots' Wisnuratha, 'carriage Vishnu', Am R Tahara n a 'thieves Amrita', Sudhāhara, 'thieves', Surendrajit,' conqueror of Indra 'Bajrajit,' conqueror of lightning '.. "

And today, before their eyes, Reino easily faced the Dragon.

The Dragon's huge shell was lifted and thrown out and fell to the ground. then, he rushed over to the lying Dragon, sitting on its chest. Reino attacked the Dragon's chin, chest, and stomach, beating him viciously without pause until its entire body resembled a V shape.

"—— Give it up! Come on over here, I'll end this now!"

"Oh, he's finally serious."

Reino looked at Kuroka annoyedly.

Seeing Reino's unsatisfied gaze, Arthur nodded in satisfaction.

"For someone who is usually peace-loving, he seeks victory relentlessly when he is passionate about the battle... Well, my lover called for me, so I'll excuse myself."

The agile Kuroka jumped to the ground.

Seeing the girl make a beautiful jump, Reino once again felt a sense of regret. Who would have thought that in this country, he would be forced to duel with someone again...

Although he had expected this to be a possible outcome when he agreed to Kuroka's request to come early to Japan, he couldn't help but feel depressed when this was happening.

"...Kuroka, you know that the difference between a civilized person and a savage person comes from the level of ability to handle things in a civilized manner. Please; can you learn to control your violent instincts, and your need to keep causing trouble for others? Do you know how difficult it is? for those who try to stay around you?"

"Stay on the same old topics Nyaa ~ I do not see any problem with it, especially since you always start avoiding the fight, when it starts, you become very serious Nyaa ~. Why not be a little more honest with yourself? nyaa~"

Facing Reino's endless complaints, Kuroka replied carelessly.

"You are a King and I am a knight. We should have an intense yet beautiful duel. So let us fight each other with all our love, and make this duel the climax of our romance!"

"From my experience, lovers don't risk their lives in a duel like this! Don't force your love ideas on others!"

Reino replied loudly and watched the girl carefully.

The white dragon had been crushed, battered unconscious, he fainted on the spot.

He might still be able to use his powers for another ten minutes and hope to achieve victory within this time limit.

Although these skills could only be used against the 'big sinners who had brought great suffering to the people, each skill seemed to make people fear that it was a type of evil in itself. After all, activating the power required a very troublesome load to fulfill.

"I have to leave it to you, Reino. Even though you're still blabbering about 'peace-loving', your body and mind have prepared themselves for battle——that's why you're qualified to be my lover!"

Kuroka annoyingly praised him.

It was probably the benefit of body strengthening type magic. Even though Kuroka looked slender and frail, her punching power was far greater than Reino's. And the same goes for Arthur. But that's only under normal circumstances.

——Kuroka and Arthur attacked him happily.

Just like a shadow, it was impossible to see its movements, and due to its violent actions, it had almost no wind resistance. This kind of technique can only be practiced with patience.

When Reino finally realized that, the silver sword was already approaching his face.

"——Can't you be more careful?! You're fighting a rookie!"

To make a comparison, what had just happened was like a world-class boxer punching with all his might. And this was not a fist, but a fierce and deadly blade. As if he was playing dodge ball, where Reino prioritized avoiding the ball that was heading towards his head, he dodged Arthur's sword thrust. He relied on his keen eyesight and quick reflexes to keep him alive.

"But Reino, anyone who can dodge my attacks definitely can't be called a rookie."

"But it's just luck, and you're targeting spots that are 100 percent fatal if hit!"

Ever since he became a Campione, the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, his concentration could rise to unimaginable levels. Thanks to this, he was able to see Arthur's super sword thrust extremely fast.

"Damn it, ever since we started, you've done whatever you wanted—— I'm warning you now, I can't control my attack power, so you better dodge!"

Although he had never been interested in a duel, he knew that in a situation like this, if he only defended and never attacked, it was inevitable that the opponent would destroy him. To ensure Kuroka's safety, he used a light kick to sweep his ankle.

But he jumped aside. Suppressing the attack, as if to chase after the fleeing Kuroka, Reino continued to attack, but Arthur blocked it. Kuroka backed away and attacked from behind using her magic. They now used a standard formation, Fighters at the front and Mages at the back. Effective ancient formation.

Reino attacked Arthur who was blocking him. Picked up his stance while throwing a light jab at Arthur.

Arthur Only moved backward by a small margin, dodged the attack, and then charged forward. Simultaneously thrusting his sword like a needle aimed at Reino's chest.

This is a counterattack!

After suspecting Arthur's plan, Reino deliberately chose not to dodge — but that was also because he was running out of time — throwing a powerful low kick at Arthur's leg.

This was an impossible cross-counter for normal people, but for the terrifying power of [Garuda], this was easy to do.

It happened in an instant.

Just before he was stabbed by Caliburn, he managed to overthrow Arthur.

"Gosh... Your reflexes are great— you never change, do you?"

Even though their counterattack failed, Kuroka just laughed it off. Raised his hand in surrender.

Like other birds of prey, Garuda's eyes are thousands of times sharper. Every movement, expression, a gaze of the enemy. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would snatch it away. Ensuring the opponent's character, distinguishing the opponent's mindset; He would use observation and analysis to ascertain the movements of others.

Whether the enemies were mages, knights, gods, or monsters, as long as he could capture their souls, he would be able to formulate a plan for victory.

From some point onwards, all of Reino's concentration was placed on achieving 'victory'.

It was not a sudden change, but a natural result of his actions.

This expansive duel, in addition to the opponent being a genius with a sword and a mysterious magic user, allowed Reino to completely absorb himself in battle.

Kuroka has no weaknesses. And even though he did, he couldn't see them.

But he understood Kuroka's character, which was the complete opposite of her mischievous nature. her favorite battle tactic is frontal charges, and uses her heaviest strength and full vigor, at that.

Right now Kuroka wasn't doing this, probably because she wanted to draw out all of Reino's power, and deliberately softened her attack.

"Curiosity is written all over your face. The intelligence of the fox and the ferocity of the Dragon — now that's the Reino I love! Give it all you've got, I accept your challenge NYA~!"

Hearing Kuroka say this, Reino smirked for a moment.

Then, he smiled grimly.

Whatever he said earlier, he couldn't deny that the duel was very exciting. That an opponent was willing to deal with his attacks could only make him feel happy. At this thought, he subconsciously smirked.

"Th-To this... to make Vali and Arthur come to this state. Le Fay will hate you if she finds out what you did to her brother. How heartless you are!!"

Kuroka released a rare emotion; its worry

Seeing this unusually anxious gaze, Reino felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

"If I use the usual methods against you guys, I won't stand a chance of winning. So, I've decided to use the strongest attack available to me right now."

"I know Reino is something abnormal— all your talk about peace is just HIS bullshit~"
