(Few Days Before Denatus and Expedition)
Inside an enormous Colosseum in the Freya Familia, most members are present to watch the fight between the strongest adventurer Ottar and the man their goddess has chosen.
Everyone is present with an eager expression except for the traitorous Allen who disobeyed their goddess's wish that disappeared after he attempted to kill David.
Freya is waiting for David by the entrance for the upcoming bout, it was her request and plan to have them fight, so everyone will respect and acknowledge David after this fight.
'I don't know how strong he is, but I'm confident in Ottar's judgment regarding his true strength.'
Assessing the place she saw Ottar warming up before the fight, Freya especially instructed him to go all out to test David's limit and strength for their future plan with Hephaestus.
Her love meanwhile just arrived at the training ground after preparing himself. She has come with him from his store after a cup of coffee that had become her new routine every morning.
It is very rewarding, especially after a night of working in Hostess of Fertility.
Mama Mia's business is still very popular even with the Magen David's popularity because it is only open in the morning, and it doesn't serve any beer or alcohol.
Even after finally finding her love she still had to help Bell to strengthen himself and some promising adventurers to assist David when the Promised Time comes.
Especially Ryuu, her friend.
Freya has already talked with Hestia to take her in her Familia, along with the wandering Renand and her friend from Ishtar Familia.
Hestia's Familia is quickly growing with the addition of a little Pallum girl and the former member of Hephaestus Familia, a Crozzo.
Finding an opportunity, Freya snuggles with David and glances at his soul that is slowly accepting him, while it is not comparable to how it envelops Hephaestus, it is already surrounding her albeit slowly.
Every time they meet up Freya can see some improvement in his soul as it is very responsive toward his true feelings, so she is not in a hurry because she knows that she can achieve his love someday.
"Thanks for everything Freya, you even prepared a match between me and the King, as a thanks I'll cook your favorite later."
Freya is very thankful with how receptive David is to her advances, she knows how much he loves Hephaestus, yet he is not pushing her away.
"Meanwhile, I want you to be far and safe while you watch our fight, I want to test something, so this could be very messy."
After Invoking Rock Lee and receiving the Eight Gates as magic after leveling up, he still hasn't tested it yet.
'Let's see the limits of Correxion, Perfectus and Evolution against a rampaging Eight Gates.'
He verifies Freya's safety first before walking towards the intimidating towering figure of Ottar, even at a great distance he can feel the pressure of the strongest adventurer pressing toward him.
"Let's have a good match, King."
—------
Ottar examined his opponent in front of him, he was amazed when he saw first hand how his umbrella which looked so fragile changed its form into a broadsword.
He remembers the Gulliver brothers report regarding his weapon changing form from one form to another, using a broadsword against him is a clear challenge for his strength.
'Let's see who will break first.'
Waiting for her goddess's signal, Ottar disappeared from his position when the battle began, he knew how fast the young man was, faster than the fastest Allen who couldn't even react.
With their first clash, David was thrown across the room after redirecting the impact to the ground however the shockwave of Ottar's attack still flung him like a rag doll.
'It seems the King is also serious about this fight.'
Standing back up he activated the fifth gate with ease, after becoming a magic the damage on his body became minimal, to the point that only some effects remain like how his pupil disappeared giving him an impression of a battle god.
In a flash he appeared in front of Ottar bringing his broadsword down with a powerful swing along with his body weight and momentum; a strike powerful enough to reach Ottar's full strength.
However, nothing happened, even the wind didn't even get disturbed when Ottar received it without difficulty with just one hand.
Everyone watching only scuffed at this display, they thought that this is just a play to introduce him to them, however, they were surprised when Ottar coughed a large amount of blood.
What they didn't know is David already reached the pinnacle of Swordplay with his Correxion and Multifaceted, bit by bit his Perfectus Transcend every swordsman's limitations has.
His attack is solely focused on the opponent, masterfully sending the force and shockwave of his strike to their body, so blocking it completely would only be more devastating damage than being cut.
'Should have dodge!'
Ottar ate the whole damage he dished out, with just one attack their differences in skill were shown, even with great difficulty to stay still he still dropped to his knee while his eyes, nose, and ears badly bleeding.
His hurting head is ringing while his body is not even listening to him, with just one strike he was brought down on his knees.
A great shame for the one known as the strongest sword and shield of his goddess Freya.
However, he saw David still at his stance, a distance away while waiting for his next move.
He saw no arrogance in his eyes, only expectations and excitement, like how he was when he was still aiming for the top!
"Raghhh!"
Without heading to his crying body he answered the young man in anticipation, with a shout he pulverized the large stone beneath him and shot like an arrow toward David.
Without holding back Ottar attacked in a frenzy, every attack brought a devastating force behind it, the wind was screaming, and the ground was already broken beyond recognition.
The whole Orario felt the impact of every strike, even the dungeon is vibrating with how powerful the King is.
However, at level six, his full power can already cause an earthquake while this time the only result is the town trembling.
Ottar can only stare in disbelief at his opponent, David didn't even move in his position while accepting all of his attacks.
"This is impossible."
Every Freya Familia member was beyond belief at the young man covered in blue aura, they were expecting a scripted fight however they were mesmerized by his swordplay instead.
A true skill beyond strength display.
"So this is a sword heart."
A realm of sword beyond human capabilities and can only be attained by those who live by their blade.
"I can finally Invoke you, Sasaki Kojirou."
David can only summon the nameless swordsman who accepted the name of Sasaki Kojirou in the Fate series as Invoking the real one would be beyond his capabilities.
'Even reaching level 10 would be impossible.'
Ottar suddenly felt a very long-forgotten sensation when he saw the look in Davids's eyes, it was beyond a fight at that point when his broadsword changed into a katana.
Fear
He didn't remember anything after David drew his sword, even all of the Freya Familia members didn't know what happened.
An eerie silence permeating for a long period is what they only recalled before he slumps like a dead man.
However, Ottar can still hear the sharp cry of a sword still ringing in his head after waking up after a whole day, a testament of an impossible attack.
Tsubame Gaeshi is an attack beyond reason.
Even David Myriad Manifestation Umbrella LvL4 with Durandal Ability was broken after that one strike.
David's mind was instantly depleted with how instantly it was consumed, for the first time in his life, he experienced mind down after perfecting Limit Off.
His 'container' and weapon cannot even handle the consumption of just one attack.
An attack against concept.
----------
(Freya PoV)
Surrounded by the Gulliver brothers I watched how David beautifully answered Ottar's full powered attacks with ease.
It is like watching a dance.
However, what Freya is focused on is his beautifully shining soul, every strike it is changing, every attack it is evolving and every moment it is reaching a new state of perfectness.
David soul is like a gigantic mammoth with its eyes close, with a focus look it is looking something within, gasping what beyond it reach.
Until suddenly Freya with a heated look and twisted in pleasure face saw it evolved, his soul opened it eyes and an apparent change occur.
Its pure white shining color became a sharp shade of violet, the goddess can feel the world stop when she saw David unsheathed his blade and execute an attack that even she, a god can reach.
"You're mine David."
—------
For those who didn't know you can look up who is the nerfed Sasaki Kojirou version, I'm talking to.
I'll just be explaining how Tsubame Gaeshi and Sasaki work.
The eighth gate is now considered a magic so he can now pull it off much easier however his level is way too low to reach the seventh and higher gates.
Now, Invoking requires Attributes(stat) and Situation(need and wants).
All his stat was instantly increased when using the eight gates which is the reason he can summon Sasaki, in addition in Situation, he surpassed the limit of his sword skill and reached the sword heart.
His pure attack power compensated for the skill he needed to Invoke just one attack of a fake Sasaki Kojirou, however, in return he couldn't even execute just one strike because he didn't have enough mind, mastery, and skill to pull it off.
Just as I said you can look it up if you want to see Sasaki Kojirou.
