I rely on myself

Chapter 46 Determination
After the commentator's introduction, both sides of the competition officially stepped onto the stage.

The people in the audience suddenly became quiet because of the momentum of the two parties on stage. Both Toudou Touka and Ikki had serious expressions on their faces, because the reason they stepped onto this stage was not only because of their own wishes, but also because they were carrying the expectations of others.

Although this game has been given extra meaning because of some clowns, it doesn't matter.

Because they are knights, and knights only need to use the swords in their hands to clear a path, so none of them will retreat and they will fight it out here in a dignified manner.

--------

Just when everyone in the audience was shocked by the awareness of the two people on the field.

Torajiro Nango was the first to make an evaluation.

"Hey, that's Daohua's opponent. I see... He's very strong."

After hearing this comment, Shinguji Kurono asked, "Can you feel it, Mr. Nango?"

"Of course. His expression is extremely tense. The kid is mentally prepared to fight to the death, and this determination is so strong that the audience around him can also feel it. I never thought that I would see such a man in the Kurogane family... This match is very interesting."

At this time, Xijing Ningyin suddenly brought up Yihui's situation.

"Really? Even though he didn't show it on his face, it's obvious that his body must have accumulated a lot of fatigue. Xiao Hei, do you think he still has any chance of winning in that situation?"

"Well, he has to go on stage regardless of whether he has any or not. This is a duel after all."

Shinguji Kurono ignored Akaza's cold water on her and lowered her head slightly.

"...To be honest, his situation is quite unfavorable and his body is very tired...So Kurogane should be more cautious. He should have understood how to defeat Raikiri."

"Hmm? Is there a way to crack Raikiri?"

"........."

Shinguji Kurono reflexively wanted to ignore this fat-headed man, but if he spoke a few more times, Kurono would only be in a worse mood.

Shinguji Kurono then began to explain:

"...To put it simply, Raikiri is a sword-drawing technique, which means that it can only be used when the sword is sheathed. Kurogane only needs to make small movements repeatedly to put pressure on her, tempting her to use Raikiri or other sword-cutting techniques and make her miss. As long as she draws her sword, she can't use Raikiri for at least that period of time. Kurogane's chance of winning depends on this moment... But Kurogane must drag out his fatigue and patiently fight a protracted battle to create this opportunity."

Ikki's match was really in jeopardy. But if he was too impulsive, he would have no chance of winning.

The opponent is Raikiri, the undefeated king within the crossing distance.

If Ikki rushed in directly, he would definitely become the victim of the heirloom sword.

Even if Ikki used "One Sword Shura" to strengthen his physical strength dozens of times, it was still not enough to break "Raikiri".

That’s why we have to wage a protracted war.

Xijing Ningyin holds the same opinion.

However, the knight's prediction for this game was different from the other two.

"Oh my god, I see. Kurono thinks the chances of winning this battle depend on a protracted battle."

That person was Nan Xiang. Deep in his wrinkled eyelids, a sharp gaze like a falcon flashed.

"I think the outcome of this battle...will be determined by the first strike."

People outside the venue were discussing the two figures enthusiastically.

The two people in the field also started talking.

Toudou Daohua was the first to speak: "Kurotetsu-san, I must apologize to you."

Kurogane was confused. "...Apologize?"

"Ah, I had been hoping that you wouldn't come to the field today, Kurogane-san, so I asked your sister to persuade you to give up. But in the end... I was just a hypocritical woman. I kept saying that I hoped you wouldn't come... but now that I see you standing on the field, I'm deeply looking forward to this battle..."

"…………!"

"I know you must have gone through a lot of hardships, Kurogane-san. After all, your fatigue is obvious, but I am still excited. Because from the moment I met you, I have always thought, 'I want to fight this person'!"

She slowly curled the corners of her lips and took a stance.

Lightning flashed in the air, then gathered in Daohua's hand to form "Ming Shen".

From her expression, you can tell that she can't wait to start the game.

When Kurogane Ikki saw this, he also expressed his thoughts.

“…I feel the same way.”

He murmured this and showed his favorite sword. A pitch-black Japanese sword suddenly appeared in his right hand.

Ikki was also looking forward to this match. Who was stronger between him and the knight in front of him? Any knight could not escape this question, so Ikki was standing here.

Ikki raised the blade in his right hand and pointed the tip at Touka.

"I will use my weakest (strongest) to defeat your undefeated (strongest)."

He vowed to win.

"Now that both contestants are ready, the final battle for the right to represent the Seven Star Sword Festival will officially begin!"

As the game began, Ikki took the first step. His whole body radiated a blue light as he rushed towards Daohua.

Faced with this scene, most people cannot understand it.

"Wha, wha, wha, wha!? The Kuroki player suddenly used his last trump card, 'One Sword Shura'!! He started with a quick attack right from the start!!"

This is definitely not a wise choice, in the eyes of most people.

Because "One Sword Shura" is truly the last trump card. Although it can increase Ikki's overall abilities by dozens of times, it can only be used once a day, and it cannot be stopped after use. Once the opportunity to use it is missed, Ikki will only be defeated faster.

Therefore, in previous battles, Ikki would use his superb skills to force the enemy to reveal their flaws before using this move to kill them with one blow.

But now, facing the strong man known as "Raikiri", Ikki, contrary to his usual behavior, was the first to reveal his trump card. How could this not surprise others?

Just when most people thought that Ikki had lost his mind, Ikki himself was very sober.

Indeed, if he relied on his superb swordsmanship to fight, Ikki was confident that he could use various fake moves to induce the opponent to make wrong judgments and thus block Raikiri, thus winning.

But as a knight, Ikki rejected this option.

"I am a knight. If I cannot even break the opponent's special move, how can I defeat him?"

This determination prompted Ikki to challenge the strongest opponent head-on.

All you have to do is run towards the opponent in a straight line along the shortest distance, put all your strength into this knife, and swing it!

Then defeat her.

Defeat Toudou Touka's proud undefeated skill "Raikiri"!
Although this duel was caused by various dirty tricks, the other party still stood up, so I must show my utmost sincerity to her——

"That is my challenge...!!"
