The now overpowered King Watanabe struck again and again against the Emperor, who was now taking several steps backwards to keep himself alive for longer. When he told Atsushi to get serious about the fight, this certainly was not what he had in mind.
Emperor Magus remained on defense, seeing no good opening to attack whatsoever, while King Watanabe struck again and again from all directions at a very high pace, which Magus was not able to keep up with.
The last strike came in the form of a kick to the chest, which knocked Magus off his feet and to the ground. Seizing this opportunity to kill the Emperor, Atsushi brought down his sword quickly, going for the kill and nothing less.
Right on time, the Emperor blocked it with his sword, but to his surprise, the sword cracked on impact, and he knew that it was going to break through the block in a few seconds at this rate.
