The runes on Yukio's sword glowed.
" Wait is that...?" Leo said in disbelief.
" Impossible " Vicentia said getting to her feet.
" Well I'll be damned " Yukio said." He's got a Sacred Blade "
Duke Philip gave a huge sigh.
" That boy will be the death of me."
Keo jumped away from Kojo and spun her bident again making her stance.
Kojo just looked down at the sword him his hands. Even though it had an otherworldly design, it reminded him of a katana. The slighly curved blade was silvery black. Kojo's blood flood down the swords edge. Runes appeared on the sword.
( Conditions have been met. Transfer of ownership successful.You have now gained ownership of the Sacred Blade Caliburn)
" But when did.-"?" Kojo said weakly
" Estelle?"
( Oracle:
Caliburn is one of the three swords that belonged to the First Hero, Estelle Leicester. It's a pure Mystium blade that is not only night indestructible but is rumored to be able to rewrite the laws that govern reality)
Kojo dropped to one knee.
" Thats cool. I would have tried the reality crap it I wasn't out of Arcana."
Keo charged at him. Kojo got to his feet but he was still barely able to keep up with her.
" You possessing a sacred blade changes nothing" She knocked Kojo's sword arm away with her bident and with her other hand landed a blow to his face knocking his head into the ice . She straightened and raised the Bident over her head.
" Now die"
She struck but her blow was blocked.
" Wait ,isn't he supposed to be unconscious?" The King asked, surprised. He noticed the faint outline of an eight point star on Kojo's glowing red iris'.
"( You've managed to knock him out)" Sysia spoke through Kojo.
"( I'm taking over from here)"
" What the-" Keo had barely finished speaking when a magic circle appeared under her. She jumped to avoid a massive ice spike that shot out from where she stood.
Sysia broke the ice with a swing of her sword and charged at Keo. The two engaged I combat. Keo wondered how Kojo was fighting her even the was out of energy.
" It's like he's a different person" She thought gumoing back to avoid a downward slash which not only split the ice but went all the way to cut through the arena all the way to the outskirts of the City.
"( Hmm. The calculated success rate of that attack was 89.678%. It wasn't a total waste)"
She raised the sword to Kojo's face.
"( So this is the strength of a sacred blade. I need to research thoroughly into it's famed reality warping ability)"
" Who are you" Keo demanded.
"( Me? I'm your opponent of course)"
Kojo dissapeared appearing Infront of her and giving her no time to block a punch that not only sent her fly but shattered the ice around them.
Keo made the water to Converge in Kojo, trapping him in a cube.
( Oh,she trying to end me by crushing with water pressure)
Calculating...
( The pressure within the cube right now is 80 tons per square inch. Thats ten time more than at the bottom of the Mariana trench back in our world)
Kojo grinned.
( Too bad it's going to take more than that to bring us down.)
Keo suddenly found herself trapped in midair by some silver threads. She looked down at the cube and saw the threads connected to Kojo's curled fingers.
He broke out of the Cube and charged at her.
She broke free and landed in the ice . She looked around and wondered when Kojo had spread the thread all over the arena.
Keo rushed at him and the two exchanged blows. Kojo used the thread s plus his speed to bounce around Keo attacking from all angles.
She surrounded herself with water and released an all directional water wave .
She stabbed the bident into the grand a huge statue with thousands of arms formed behind her.He pulled out the bident and pointed it at Kojo. A water bubble appeared Infront of it and began to glow as it charged with energy. Smaller energy balls formed in the statues palm
" Wait she's not thinking of using that attack here."Vicentia said in alarm. " But then again,this is an contest where anything goes. Besides we have nothing to fear due to the barrier that been out up "
" Well that can't be good "Kojo said.
( Oh? Sleeping Beauty has finally decided to wake up)
" Enough with the teasing and gimme my body back"
( Aye ,aye captain).
Keo shit the water ball at him along with the smaller ones which Converged on him from all sides.
Kojo ran forward slicing the smaller blast of energy. He opened his pocket dimension and absorbed the blast into it
Quicksilver.
He appeared infront of Keo and made as if to stab her. Alarmed,she swung her bident at him. He dropped the the sword and grabs the bident with his left hand and hit her in the chest with a palm strike that shattered her armor knocking her back.
( Now why are you smiling?)
" Boobs" He said raising the bident above him.
(Pervert)
He opened the dimensional pocket above her and with a downward swing released all her energy on her. The force evaporated all the ice and shook the arena.
The vapor cleared to reveal Keo was naked vapour coming off her body.
Kojo dropped to one knee panting
He used his threads to weave a blanket to cover her.
There was a loud " Awwww" from all the men in the crowd.
"Perverts" Kojo said under his breath.
( Look who's talking)
" Koe has been defeated" Zang said floating down.
" The winner of this round is the rising star, Atariiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!"
The crowd cheered .
" My side hurts." Kojo thought as he got to his feet and forced a smile." I thing I broke a few ribs"
( Idiot)
" Ok then out of the arena"
" Wait"
Kojo turned. Keo knelt behind him covering herself with the blanket.
" Oh,sup?"He asked casually.
" Won't you kill me?"She asked.
" Why would I .it's just a friendly match"
" But I tried to kill you"
" No you offered me the chance to live when you thought I was too beat up to fight"
" Youre pitying me" she said sadly looking down.
" Nope. I think it will be a waste to do away with a strong fighter such as yourself"
She looked up at him.
" Please" She bowed. " I offer myself to you for sparing my life. Take me. Here and now."
" Whoa. Hold your horses. You don't need to go that far"
" Then how do I show my gratitude for sparing my life."
" Live,for me ok" He stretched his hand to give her back the bident and smiled.
Her eyes widened. The then took it and stood.
Contract has been formed.
"Huh? What contract?"
The crowd cheered.
" I'll follow in Mekna's footsteps and train so I'll be strong enough to serve you master."
She turned and walked away.
Kojo watched her go then turned and went in the opposite direction pulling his sword out of the ground.
Elsewhere in the arena,Sahsa watched as Kojo walked away.
" He's a strong one" She said with a smile and licked her lips.
The moment Kojo walked through the gates his knees gave way and he collapsed.He managed to get to his feet and leaned on the wall . He used it and the sword as support to slowly limp forward.
" What did you mean when you said contract"
Kojo asked
"( You offered a contract and she accepted same as Mekna )
" I don't remember doing that"
He remembered his words.
( Remember now?)
" Ok I didn't mean it like that"
( Anyway,you should be grateful that your still alive. It'll take a while to regain your powers and heal these wounds.)
Kojo sensed something and stopped walking.
( I'm sensing up to five hostile presences)
" Who's there?" Kojo called. No answer.
The tourches suddenly went out. A hand grabbed the sword from his hands while someone else held his arms behind his back.
Another person punched him in the face then landed another blow to his stomach. A pair of hands then lifted him into the air while two huge fist knocked him into the ground.
The light came back on, illuminating the room. Gaston stood Infront of Kojo,a fireball in his palm. He held the sword on his shoulder.
He smiled at Kojo.
"I told you we weren't done"
