Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

The water-elemental divine eye on the boy's body also shone brightly at this moment.

"Well then, I'm going to get started!"

After politely uttering those words, the young man gripped his twin swords and took a step forward.

The powerful force traveled from his feet to the ice surface, leaving cracks in the glacial landscape.

The speed was so fast that all you could see was a shadow.

Almost instantly, the boy's figure closed in on him.

He held nothing back, fighting with the determination to kill his opponent. This was the true thought of the young Ajax, who knew the gap between them clearly.

If one does not engage in a fierce battle with the determination to kill the opponent, then with one's own strength, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.

He didn't have any naive ideas like "stopping when it's too late" or "showing mercy"—those are things only the stronger can say.

To the young Ajax, the man before him was undoubtedly a much stronger opponent.

So, isn't it quite obvious what to do?

The azure twin swords reflected the light, gleaming with cold light as they cleaved through the sky. The surrounding raging elemental forces resonated with them, as if telling of their master's nature to enjoy struggle and battle.

The raging and vibrant elemental forces seemed to be saying something like this—

Crush everything!

In fact, the young Ajax did the same thing, his overflowing, violent elemental power raging around him, swirling up the scattered ice fragments and snowflakes.

This makes him look more like the holder of an ice-type God's Eye than the water-type God's Eye that the boy possesses.

The water, mixed with ice and debris, is so unrestrained and violent that it can even shatter stubborn rocks when it collides with them.

Without holding back at all, this was the young Ajax giving it his all.

Come on, let him see what it's like.

Just how big is the gap between myself and the Fools' Enforcers?

The boy's icy eyes met those of the figure beneath the sword formed by the surging water, peering through the turbulent current.

Faced with a powerful attack from the boy, which seemed to be going all out, Pantalone naturally realized what kind of thoughts the boy named Ajax was harboring when he faced him.

Since the other party is already fighting with such conviction, it would be too unreasonable for me not to respond.

Since that's the case, then... let's get a little serious.

As someone who has no chance of gaining divine approval, Pantalone naturally doesn't possess anything like the Eye of God.

Although he possesses the Evil Eye, which he has as an executive of the Fatui, it is insufficient to deal with Ajax, who has not yet become "Prince" Tartaglia.

Using the Evil Eye for something like this would be a huge waste of his talent. Even if he did use it, he wouldn't fare much better, so there's no need for him to suffer for himself.

However, this does not mean that they have no other strengths or means.

Back in Pantalone, after realizing he possessed the special ability to absorb various energies, he discovered that he could wield some highly practical powers.

For example, 'Light Sphere Power'.

Let's talk about 'imaginary internal energy'.

As for using 'light boundary force' and 'imaginary internal energy' to cheat and beat people?

Can you call the actions of the Fools' Enforcers cheating?

"Good will, commendable, but it is undoubtedly impossible to defeat me with willpower alone."

Looking up at the sword shadow that leaped up and swung towards him, Pantalone's lips curled into a slight smile.

As he finished speaking, a power similar to, yet entirely different from, 'elements' emerged.

The bladeless sword in his hand seemed to be blessed, emitting an incomparably dazzling light.

An incredibly powerful force erupted from his body in an instant, almost crushing the glacier beneath his feet. The surrounding snowfield was as if it had been plowed, and the swirling snowflakes collided with the water sword wielded by the young Ajax.

In an instant, the flowing water was frozen solid, and the ice formed by the water was shattered by the immense kinetic energy released.

The shards even left a tiny scratch on the edge of the boy's cheek.

The moment all this protection vanished, it was accompanied by a crisp impact sound.

click-

That was the sound of the bladeless sword colliding with the two swords in his hand.

However, it was not the seemingly ordinary, bladeless sword that shattered, but the two swords in his hand that had somehow become completely broken.

When everything settled down, the man who slowly emerged from the snow and mist remained standing in the same spot, without having moved an inch from beginning to end.

If there was anything different, it was the unremarkable, blunt sword that had somehow found its way to his shoulder and neck, and the words he uttered.

"The outcome is decided. How do you feel?"

Everything ended far too quickly.
