Rize stood ready with his sword at the ready.
"I hope you have not got rusty over the years," said Drazel as a joke.
"Excuse me? I hope you remember who you're talking to," said Nightingale.
She would transform into her weapon form, she became a purple-colored great sword with tree roots for a guard, and on the blade had a tree symbol on the blade. She became the sword of king Drazel known as Nightingale.
"She a bit different but it still feels the same as it was over fifty years ago," said Drazel
Drazel takes a few practice swings of the sword. Rize takes a step forward and lunges at him when he is ready, and they clash with blades.
"Hey that was pretty rude young man attacking someone when they are practicing," said Drazel.
"I'm finished waiting," said Rize.
Rize slips and falls forward and Drazel took this chance to attack but Rize uses the motion to turn it into a dodge roll and he misses.
"His instincts are incredible even in this state," thinks Drazel.
Rize slashes his sword, and a white blast comes out towards Drazel. He would leap over this attack and slashes a blast at Rize who blocks it with his sword Drazel saw a magical barrier formed around Rize, but it broke when it hit the shield Rize dodges the blast when the shield broke. But Rize started to feel tired since his body was still strained from using Lord Patrick's Power.
"Damn it," said Rize out of breath.
"He's almost done I can sense his powers getting weaker. It's time I finish this," Drazel in thought.
Drazel gets ready to swing his sword and starts to gather energy as his whole body starts to emit purple aura.
"What this?" questioned Rize.
"I am ending this Rize," said Drazel.
Rize gets ready himself he is going to do the same as he gathers what little energy he has remaining and starts to emit a white and black aura.
"Alright, one last attack then," said Rize. They both slashed their swords, and both unleashed an enormous blast at each other. Drazel's purple blade blast collides with Rize's white blast. But due to Rize's current condition, Drazel's pushed his back.
"Damn it," said Rize.
He was barely holding on to his blade. But before he could lose his grip, he felt someone or two people hold on to him around his hands. He looks down and sees. He did not see anyone, but he would figure it out. It was his Espers telling him to hold on. He grips harder on the handle as the marks on his face return on his face.
"Then let's show him our power!" yelled Rize.
Rize started to scream and Drazel saw his blast was getting pushed back by Rize using everything he had left and eventually broke his. Drazel was engulfed by Rize's blast and enormous as some knights at the bottom of the tree. Rize looked and he saw he left a valley where the room was and even damaged the Yggdrasil. But he saw Drazel survive and was walking forward to him. His clothes were destroyed, and he had noticeable marks on him. Rize stepped forward but it was no use Rize could not continue as he watched his sword shatter. Anna and Alexis return to their human forms and the demon sword is shattered on the ground.
"I guess it was too much," said Anna.
"Damn. I guess we ran out of juice," said Alexis.
Drazel warps something in his left hand which was a white towel and tosses it on the ground. Rize and they look confused.
"Congrats, you win I concede," said Drazel.
"What? You kicked my ass here," said Rize.
"Yeah, but you got by somehow specifically every time it seems you had an opportunity. But You still got your whole life to go through and you should not be too reckless with it," said Drazel.
He snapped his left hand and they all teleported.
Drazel teleports them down to the base of the tree.
"I guess we are back down the tree," said Judas.
"You boys have shown that even in the fifty years I have gone that even strong warriors are still here," said Drazel.
He would snap his fingers again and his clothes returned back before he fought Rize. Rize even looks and sees his clothes are back as well.
"What will you do now?" asked John.
"It is time I see what this world has been doing without me as its new God, I need to make sure things are right," said Drazel.
Nightingale returns to her normal form and takes off her face mask revealing her face.
"Are you sure you won't take my offer to become a Royal Guard?" asked Drazel.
"Sorry, but we have plans," said Rize.
"Yeah, we plan to start our own guild," said Cyrus. "One where we can be free from the DHO rules and corruption and help people how our grandfather wanted."
"I see, I wish you, boys, luck then as you have a lot of work ahead," said Drazel. "You are not the first to refuse this offer. I asked Lord Patrick years ago if he would be the one to lead the Celestial Knights. But He said no. He said he rather teach them because one day he would no longer be around to help the people and now we live in an era without him. But it seems this new era does not need him. We should get going Nightingale it seems we need to get started on what we have to do."
"I guess this will be goodbye for now," said Nightingale.
"Alright," said Rize.
"Rize, make sure you stay out of trouble," said Drazel.
"Don't worry he got his big brother to make sure that won't happen," said Judas.
"I do not know of that reassuring," said Nightingale.
"I think they will do just fine," said Drazel.
They both would teleport away. Rize and his friends return home and continue to live their lives.
