Momiji: ---------
Reiji: ......
Momiji: Well than, I'll be going.
Reiji: Satomura...
Momiji: Sorry, Reiji. But...I want to settle things with him without anyone else interfering.
Momiji: Apparently, he's singled me out---I won't pass on this duel. ...I couldn't hope for something better!
Momiji: He killed the Prez, and took Nagisa away---I'll judge him with my own hands---!
Yes. The reason that Arizuka took Suzushiro was most likely to provoke a battle with Satomura, not to avoid a fight with me.
And since Satomura wants to settle things with him anyhow---He probably took her hostage as insurance for such a battle.
After understanding that, I know that Satomura has made her "Decision" to Fight him by her own volition---
Then I have to accept Satomura's "Decision" and not interfere, and also believe that she can win to the utmost that I can.
Reiji: Be careful, Satomura. That guy...there's no telling what kind of cowardly trap he might have prepared.
Momiji: ...I'll be alright, Reiji. Thank you though.
Reiji: ...Just don't lose.
Momiji: What are you saying? Is that what you think of me? That I'm the kind of person who overdoes things, Reiji?
Reiji: I don't think there's anyone who can match your recklessness...
While I joke, there's still the root of all evil that forced this abnormal life upon us---
The strongest enemy who is the source of everyone's hatred, and the one who killed Sayuki, Odin...
However, I also don't want Satomura to interfere in my fight; No matter what kind of a monster he is, I have to defeat him with my own hands.
Reiji: ...Odin...! That ***, I'll definitely show him that he can be defeated---!!
Momiji: Nn. I believe in you...You'll surely be able to defeat that man, Reiji---
Reiji: Of course I will. I'll definitely get revenge for Sayuki...!
Mutually inspiring one another, we each shout that we'll grab the future ourselves with our words and solidify our determination again.
We'll survive this war no matter what, and walk together after obtaining our "Normal lives" again------
Momiji: ...I won't say goodbye, because this isn't...Therefore---
Momiji: Reiji...See you later.
Reiji: ---Yeah. See you soon, Satomura...
In order to continue our "Normal lives" together in the future---Believing in each other's victory like partners,
we each head for the locations where our decisive battle will take place.
Reiji: ------
Holding onto a certain feeling---My legs bring me back to the place where I lost Sayuki.
Beneath this Sakura tree---I'll bring a suitable conclusion to both this war, and Odin...!
Reiji: I know you can hear me, you ***------!
Reiji: Come on out. We're going to settle this fair and square, Odin!
With my spirit burning brightly, I shout so toward the sky.
In this place, the only thing within me is the absolute will and desire to protect everything that's important to me, and regain my "Normal life"---!
Odin: It seems that in the end we are destined to fight, Reiji---
Reiji: Odin...!
The world around me changes as if in answer to my words, and the one I wish to see calmly appears before my eyes.
Ragnarok is irrelevant now---I have to conclude things with "This man"...For some reason, I know I have to.
Odin: Fate certainly is ironic to force the two of us to fight...To think that I would be forced to shoulder your burdens as well...
Reiji: Stop saying the same old things, Odin. I'll never forgive you for what you've done...!
Reiji: I'll definitely take revenge...for what you did to Sayuki...you ***!!
Odin: ......
Odin: This is not Eyespace, but another magical space that I have created.
Odin: Only those whom I deem qualified can enter this space. No matter how hard anyone else may try, they cannot enter this space.
Odin: Miraculously, our goals are the same---This is but a way to ensure that no one can interfere.
Odin: There is only one way to escape from here---Someone must fall and be completely annihilated.
Reiji: Very well---
Reiji: ------Da Capo------!!
Sakura: Master!
Reiji: Sakura...Here we go, get ready to fight!
Sakura: Understood!
Odin: ......
Odin: ---Walkuere---
Sakura: ?!
Reiji: NA---?!
Odin says some unknown words, and Sakura suddenly disappears as if she were never here in the first place.
Odin: As I told you, Reiji. Those who are not qualified cannot step foot in this space.
Sakura: Master!
Reiji: Sakura!
As Odin speaks, Sakura's voice echoes in my mind.
Odin: That girl has been moved to a parallel world similar to this one...It is impossible for one to interfere with the other.
Odin: Literally, such a nuisance has disappeared.
Reiji: Kheh...You!
Odin: No matter how many times you summon her, it is useless. Come, Reiji. If you are a magi, than show me so with your fist.
Sakura: I'm sorry, Master...This is the only portion of my power that I can reach you with now...!
Reiji: Probably...***.
Sakura: But...it's strange. Somehow, when I'm in this world---I feel more connected to you than usual, Master.
Reiji: Yeah, I do too---This strange feeling...
This strange feeling of unity that we're experiencing allows Sakura and I to talk.
Yes, so to speak, it's like a deeper "Access"---That's what this strange sensation feels like.
Odin: Hmph---Apparently, you seemed to have noticed it.
Odin: Reiji...I want to have a true match with you. Without relying on that girl's magic, just your own.
Odin: This way you can fight and enjoy this battle without hesitation, correct?
Reiji: Don't *** with me...! I'll make you regret everything, Odin!!
Odin: Very well. Than come, and let's see if you can keep up with me.
Reiji: ---------
Odin: ---------
Reiji: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
After a volatile standoff, I go all out from the start with a suicidal rush, no tricks behind it at all---!
Reiji: DARAAA!!!
Odin: Haaaa!!
Odin: Your fist is good, a powerful desire behind it.
Reiji: I'll shut that insolent mouth of yours for good!!
Odin: Naive!
Reiji: Gaaahhhhh!!
Odin: Your center of gravity is poor, and prevents you from communicating the power within your fist.
Furthermore, such a roundabout attack is just asking for me to attack.
Reiji: SHUT UP!!!!!!
Reiji: I DON'T GIVE A *** WHAT YOU THINK!!
Odin: If you let your emotions guide your fist, no attack of yours will reach me...!
Odin: Haaaaa!
Reiji: UGAH...GUUU...
Odin: Do you understand? That is the way you use your fist.
Reiji: Kuu------
Sakura: Master...!
Reiji: ......
Odin's words and Sakura's worried voice make me realize that I had narrowed my vision and been acting like a madman.
Though it's annoying to admit, it's just as Odin says.
As long as I'm clouded by anger over the fact that he killed Sayuki, I'll never be able to hit him.
The difference in combat experience is too much---Than that means I have to calm down as he advises and try and formulate a strategy.
First one step, than another, eventually I'll come up with a strategy to hit Odin with everything I have...!
Reiji: Than...
Reiji: Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!
Loading my fist with magic, I punch down at the ground in front of me and send rocks flying at Odin.
Odin: !!
However, Odin easily crushes the rock I launched at him and returns his gaze to me.
Reiji: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
However, I seize the opportunity and zoom around behind him, throwing a blow at his back with all my strength---!
Reiji: Doryaa!!
Odin: An attack such as that is useless...!
Reiji: DA CAPO!
Odin: What?!
A moment before Odin's fist hits me, I use Da Capo to restore and summon the rock that Odin destroyed just a second ago in front of me---!
Odin's blow does not hit me as a result, the rock that I used as a substitute crushed to pieces once again.
Reiji: THAN TAKE THIS!!!
With a true opening now having appeared after distracting Odin with a double decoy, I attack with all my strength.
Launching my fist at the end of my latest feint, with Odin completely open it will definitely connect...!
Odin: ------Splendid.
Reiji: NA?!
------However.
The blow that I was so confident in doesn't connect,
and my momentum carries me forward in a vigorous rotation, sending me flying through the air.
Reiji: GUAAAHHHH!!
Odin: You made me act a little serious just now---Reiji.
Odin says so calmly as if nothing had happened.
It was like an ultimate example of being in close proximity to someone whom has mastered several forms of martial arts---
Using his body, Odin was able to deprive me of my footing.
Being a master of all martial arts, he was able to unconsciously select the best manuever to avoid an attack,
and is an ultimate form of self-defence------
His skill is like magic itself, with his body following it's trained instincts, he is probably able to nullify any and all manner of surprise attacks.
Reiji: Kuu...ahh...Goddamnit...!
This is more than I expected from Odin,
and I have to reevaluate the difference between us again as I stand while attempting to hide my shaking legs.
Regardles of the difference in ability, it doesn't matter---I only have to do my best to win, and believe that I can emerge victorious------!
Odin: Hmph---Don't feel down, that strike of yours just now wasn't bad.
Odin: Do not blame yourself for the failure of your attack, blame your opponent.
Reiji: Haa...Haa...Haaaa...Not yet...!
Odin: Even with the overwhelming difference between us, it appears that you will still try to overcome it with a plan...
I do not like being reminded of that time I hate---
Odin: That blue is too pure, and immature---You remind me of myself when I was not perfect.
Reiji: Don't put me in the same category as you...!
Odin: ---You are correct. A man like you who only carries such a half-baked "Decision" is not even worth comparing myself to---!
Odin: I will show you. This is the power that a true and unwavering "Decision" can create, even when burdened with so much sadness...!!
Reiji: I'll make you acknowledge my "Decision"......!
Reiji: For Sayuki and everyone else that has disappeared as a result of this unjust war---
I'LL DEFINITELY BEAT THE *** OUT OF YOU!!
Reiji: For depriving me of someone I love, I'll break that "Decision" of yours to pieces!!!
Odin: ---Very well. Than show me, Reiji! Show me the strength of the "Decision" you have borne---!!
Odin: -----Gungnir-----!!!
The blow bearing the name of the spear of the supreme god looms toward me------!
Reiji: You don't have to tell me...I'll show it to you------!
Reiji: Eat this, Odin---This here is my...! ABSOLUTE BEST------!!
Reiji: -----FENRIS WOLF-----!!!
And I confront him with the fangs of the wolf that was destined to slay the supreme god, with all my magic and soul behind it------!!
It shares the name of the wolf that eventually slew Odin, and is the strongest blow that I can fire as I am now...
By uniting with Sakura like this and adding the power of her Laevateinn,
with both of our strength behind it, it literally becomes a blow thrown at full throttle---!
Reiji: GUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
If Odin's attack is more powerful than Laevateinn---Than the both of us will just pour all of our magic into this blow until it surpasses his...!
Odin: !!!
Reiji: Haa...Haa...Haaa...Haaaaa......
By sharing Sakura's knowledge through our deeper connection,
we're able to formulate an attack with everything we have that is finally able to defeat him at the last minute.
------I know it connected.
This fist was surely enough to obliterate both Odin and his magical weapon completely......
If he had the "Power" to avoid that attack, than there's no way he could be immortal as he claimed...
No, he only believed that he was truly immortal...!
Odin: ------
Reiji: Goddamnit...!!
But as if to ridicule me, Odin's form instantly regenerates and appears before my eyes even though I had just killed him.
Odin: I never thought there was anything that could repel my attack......Even with this restraint, I can't say that I'm not surprised.
Reiji: Restraint...?
Odin: Yes. As per my agreement with Arizuka Jin, I am using 70% of my magical strength to help complete this ritual.
Reiji: NA------?!
Odin: However, I do have to thank him for that.
Thanks to only being able to use 30% of my strength for combat, I can make this fight with you last longer.
Sakura: That's------!
Reiji: ......
The difference in ability between us is still hopeless---But I can't hide my surprise that his true power is still that far above me.
The best chance to win is when an opponent's strength is limited...Than, this was the only time, my first and last chance---
But still, Odin's technique overpowers me......
Odin: Now, more. Show me more joy, Reiji. Show me your strength---until your magic has been completely exhausted.
Reiji: .........
I know that Odin's words are a deliberate rouse to provoke me, but they mend my cracking mind and cause my fighting spirit to flare again.
Yes---In a place like this, she is also fighting to fulfill the promise we made to each other, and we cannot lose...!
Reiji: Of course I will------
Reiji: ---Even if you're invulnerable, it doesn't matter how strong you are...I'll still make you regret your actions in hell, Odin!!
Odin: ---Hmph. Very well...Than show me, Reiji!! Risk your life and show me how brilliantly you can "Shine"!!
