Clash!
The clash of metal against metal.
Sword against sword.
Light against darkness.
I'd lost the first battle, badly.
I'd lost the second one but- I also won. And I lost something very dear to me.
But they always did say- third time's a charm.
Clang!
The emperor was good but not good enough.
And as I started Imbuition, things didn't seem that great for him.
"How can you move so fast? Was that time not your peak?" the emperor couldn't believe what he saw. "And I destroyed that sword!"
Well, he certainly wasn't in a good mood.
"Who knows." I shoved him back with my sword.
Was this really the same guy?
He seemed kind of different.
Or had I changed too much?
His swordplay was kind of heavy but- it didn't matter.
I didn't let him do anything- actually I just forced him to defend.
Swing after swing, he just defended.
I was relentless.
