Wings of light spread out once more from the greatsword’s handle. Flapping those mighty wings, the white greatsword charged straight towards Administrator.

A vicious smile appeared on the ruler’s pearl grey lips. The mirror-like rapier swung down with a grating noise and retaliated by emitting lightning, the same or stronger than those that burnt Cardinal to death.

The sword’s tip touched the lightning.

Shock waves exceeding those when the sword golem was destroyed swept out, slamming into my whole body as I knelt far away.
I opened my eyes as wide as I could even while I drew my body in and watched as Administrator’s lightning was shredded into numerous thin lines.

Vaaaaa!! The sparks that flew all around with a roar caused small explosions throughout the hall. The sword soared on despite breaking through the torrent of immense energy head-on. Miniscule pieces chipped off the surface of its white blade, scattering one after another. And each of those should be a part of Eugeo’s body, his life.

“Eugeo!!”

The raging tempest erased my shout.

“Brat…!!”

The smile vanished from Administrator’s lips.

At the source of the lightning at last, the white greatsword’s tip landed a certain, fierce hit upon the rapier’s needlelike end.
The resulting resonance shook the isolated space with its extremely high frequencies.
