The Zenith of the Full Moon
The Zenith of the Full Moon
(KRA-TA-KOOOOOOOOM!!!)When Shija’s fist, charged with the "Mountain Breaker," finally connected with her plexus, the marble beneath their feet didn't just crack; it pulverized, creating a perfect crater that sank them into the heart of the cavern.
"¡¡!!"
However, the Valkyrie was a bulwark of inhuman resistance.
(VROOOO-SHHH!!!)
Her legs buried themselves into the solid rock up to her knees to anchor against the devastating pressure of the blow, and instead of being repelled, she used the impact's inertia to fuel her own movement.
(SLASH!!)
With a fluid and lethal gesture, she flicked her wrist, transforming her sword's trajectory into a descending arc of absolute speed—a counterattack technique designed to intercept and execute in a single motion.
(CRASH-FROOOOSH!!!)
As a result, the obsidian blade, wrapped in a roar of black flames, descended directly toward Shija’s exposed neck...
(!! ... !!)
But in the final millisecond, Shija, reading the fate of the slash, finally noticed a pattern.
(SHRRRR-ACK!!!)
With no time to withdraw his fist, he raised his left arm in a desperate intercepting move, shifting the trajectory of the cut.
(FSSHHHHHH!!!)
In that manner, flesh was torn, and Shija’s very spirit vibrated at the contact as the black flames began to devour his arm, cauterizing and scarring the wound as it struck his shoulder while he maintained the blow against the girl’s chest...
"Uggh... AAAAAHHH!!"
Shija clamped his left hand over the spine of the sword, ignoring the searing pain, to hold the weapon back and prevent it from finishing the job of decapitating him.
"... Sever... Must... be severed...!"
But the Valkyrie, hands clamped around the hilt, pulled with insane strength, trying to free the sword to complete the arc and separate Shija’s head from his shoulders.
"¡¡!!"
Thus, her blue eyes, bloodshot with shadows, flashed with a mechanical fury, revealing a faint glimmer of light.
(She...!!)
For his part, Shija did not yield.
(THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!)
Keeping his right fist buried in the guardian’s breastplate, he continued to release successive shockwaves.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
Though the mystic armor was not entirely pierced, the impact traveled through the black metal, turning into sonic vibrations that shredded her from within, causing internal damage.
(Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-KRA-BUM!!!)
Every pulse of Shija's energy was an echo of internal destruction; every inch she gained with her sword was a death sentence for him.
"I won't... let... go..."
They were locked together, bound by steel and flesh, in a crater where the air had turned static and the only sound was the cracking of their bones under the mutual pressure.
(KRRRR-RRRR-RRRR!!!)
Shija, his left arm pierced and gripping the black edge to prevent his own execution, and the Valkyrie, her legs buried in the marble, struggling with a power that made the bone structure of both creak...
"KILL... ME!!!"
There was no elegance, only the raw will of two existences colliding within a space of millimeters.
(CRACK-SHHH-BOOM!!)
The black flames of the sword hissed upon contact with Shija's blood, instantly evaporating it into a crimson smoke that enveloped their faces.
"!!!"
However, despite having the steel driven into his shoulder, Shija did not back down; on the contrary, he lowered his center of gravity even further, thrusting his right fist forward with iron determination.
"Guaaaaaah!!"
And clinging to life, Shija let out a cry of pure will, concentrating his strength...
(THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!!!)
As a result, the "Mountain Breaker" shockwaves did not stop.
(VUP-VUP-VUP-VUMMMM!!!)
They were rhythmic internal strikes that made the Valkyrie's armor vibrate like a bell on the verge of shattering.
(SHHHHH-KRA!!!)
For every centimeter she managed to push the sword toward Shija's neck, he responded by releasing a burst of Qi that jolted her organs, forcing her to spit a trail of dark essence that stained the warrior's shoulder.
"....."
Yet, despite the physical reaction, the Valkyrie—possessed by madness—showed no signs of pain as she locked her gaze with Shija's eyes.
"... I see... I understand..."
The struggle was so intense that the ground beneath them began to sink further, widening the crater while the atmospheric pressure in the cave caused Shija's ears to begin to bleed...
"... Please."
She gripped the hilt with both hands, applying an inhuman torque to free the blade and finish the slash.
"I want to go back... to sleep..."
Shija, feeling the bones of his left arm reaching the limit of their endurance, used his fingers to cling not only to the metal but to the igneous energy itself, sealing the deadlock with heroic stubbornness.
".... In that case... let's end this..."
The emerald light of Shija's zenith and the absolute jet-black of the Valkyrie created a halo of interference that isolated them from the rest of the world.
"Let's finish this!!"
In that instant, just as the obsidian edge began to bite into the skin of his neck, Shija made a decision...
"HAAAH!!!"
He didn't seek to pierce further, but rather to change the very nature of his energy.
(VUM!!!)
Opening the fist he had buried against the Valkyrie, he shifted the flow of energy in one motion, causing the vibrating waves of the "Mountain Breaker" to transform from a solid impact into a force of omnidirectional repulsion.
(SHOOOOO-OOOM!!!)
It was as if a supernova had exploded between them.
"This sword... stays here!"
The centrifugal force was so violent that the Valkyrie, despite being anchored to the ground, was ripped clean from her stance and sent backward with an unstoppable recoil.
(KRRRA-SHHH!!)
However, Shija did not allow her to take her weapon. In a maneuver of astounding technical brutality, he contracted the muscles, tendons, and nerves of his wounded left arm, using his own torn flesh and the pressure of his Qi to "trap" the serrated edge inside his own body, turning his shoulder into a biological snare.
(BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!)
In turn, as she was propelled backward by the wave of repulsion, the Valkyrie could not maintain her grip. The sword was wrenched from her hands as she slammed into the far wall of the cavern with a force that shook the very foundations of the place.
(CRASH-KRA-TA-KOOM!!!)
Because of that, the collision was so devastating that the upper structure of the cave gave way, releasing dozens of massive stalactites. Weakened by the previous battle, they broke loose like marble spears, falling directly onto the Valkyrie's position and burying her under tons of rock and debris in an explosion of dust and crimson sparks.
"Ugh... ARGH...!!"
Afterward, Shija fell to his knees in the center of the crater, panting violently, his left arm hanging limp and still pierced by the blade of black flames, which continued to emit toxic smoke, erratically scarring his flesh.
(Tap... tap... tap...!!)
However, before he could catch his breath, the sound of slow, rhythmic footsteps emerged from within the thick curtain of smoke and dust.
".... HAAA... HAA... FUFF..."
The Valkyrie emerged from the rubble appearing unscathed...
".... Do it."
In each of her hands, she held a sharpened marble stalactite.
(FSSSSSSSSSSSSHHH!!)
As she walked, black flames began to crawl up the stone, coating it completely in a dark metamorphosis.
(VROOOOO-SHHH!!!)
Immediately after, she began to spin them at a dizzying speed, giving them the appearance and lethality of two swords of burning obsidian.
"...."
Her gaze remained empty, but the killing intent emanating from those improvised weapons was denser than before.
"All or nothing...."
Shija, seeing the enemy adapt once again, did not let himself be cowed by the pain of his skewered left arm.
"... I need... to cut..."
With a feat of will, he began to manipulate the threads of mystic silk that still remained of his attire.
"... It's not enough... more, more... I must sharpen it..."
The tattered fabric coiled around his torso and arms, giving him the appearance of a warrior seasoned in a thousand battles, his chest bared and the ribbons fluttering like extensions of his own soul.
"¡¡!!"
Using a masterful control of Qi, Shija wrapped the threads around his right arm, compressing and sharpening them through the reinforcement of pure energy.
(SSSSS-KRA!!!)
In seconds, the fabric solidified until it acquired the shape and brilliance of an emerald light sword, vibrating to its limit.
"Sorry for the wait..."
"...."
Thus, both stared at each other across the devastated battlefield.
"COME!!"
He, with his left arm neutralized and his new silk sword; she, with her swords of igneous stone...
(VUM!!!)
And with nothing left to say, the Valkyrie lunged forward while Shija took his stance for one final encounter.
(From the very beginning... it was strange...)
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, compressing until every millisecond weighed like an eternity.
(... BA-DUMP... BA-DUMP...)
The cavern’s roar faded, leaving only the sound of Shija's heartbeat synchronized with the flow of his Qi.
(... Her movements... actions... everything was... wrong...)
The Valkyrie lunged forward, a trail of black flames marking her final trajectory.
(She was too rigid...)
Shija, with his reinforced silk sword and bare chest, dropped into a stance, keeping his center of gravity low, his right hand gripping the hilt of compressed thread and his gaze fixed on the target.
(... From the start... you were showing it to me...)
In that instant of maximum proximity, Shija looked her directly in the eyes.
(The way to kill you...)
Like a lightning bolt, all the clues from the combat flashed through his mind: the incessant attacks aimed at his head, the rigid movements, and even the slight pauses between fractions of motion...
"Kyōgetsu Style..."
At that moment, Shija closed his eyes.
(SHIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!)
And in a movement imperceptible to any human eye, Shija drew his blade.
"... Mangetsu."
The emerald light slash traced a perfect arc, a line of destiny aimed directly at the guardian's neck.
"...."
In response, the Valkyrie—despite having the split seconds necessary to interpose her stalactite swords or her shield—did nothing...
"... Thank you."
Upon seeing Shija's flash, her lips curved into an expression that almost looked like a grateful smile as she closed her eyelids.
(SPLAT...!!!)
In that manner, the silk sliced through air and flesh with a mystic smoothness.
(VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!)
Everything as hyper-compressed time began to flow once more...
