Despite being knocked away by the sword ti and ti again, Yuuto rose again and again...
"Are you looking for death?"
If it weren't for Yasuhiro suppressing the holy power within the sword, he would have died countless tis already.
Issei could only withstand two or three direct attacks from excalibur blessing before his body was eroded inside out by the holy power.
This was sa for Yuuto.
Yuuto had a suicidal attitude when he wrote that challenge letter, but fearing that he wouldn't be able to suppress himself seeing Yasuhiro, he had Koneko deliver it for him.
However, looks like the content was changed by Rias.
Based on the alterations in the letter, and considering this weakling's current state, Yasuhiro felt this might be the truth.
Rias looked at the crazed Yuuto with concern.
If it weren't for the fact that Yasuhiro was holding back at every turn, and that Sona and Akeno were holding her back, she'd have stepped forward to stop this seemingly death duel.
"Go to hell, go to hell..."
Yuuto's condition made Yasuhiro greatly annoyed.
The deal with Rias had only two conditions: to duel with Yuuto and to spare his life.
However, the main goal of everything was to help Yuuto erge from the trauma of holy swords.
What a drag...
Suddenly, Yasuhiro appeared to Yuuto's right while the excalibur blessing in his hand were shining brightly.
He no longer intended to suppress the holy power or better the power of light.
A light force erupted before his eyes, stinging Yuuto to close his eyes.
Rias and the others nearby were shocked to see the powerful energy surging. Before they could make any other move, Yasuhiro had already attacked.
The holy power directly pushed through Yuuto's body and penetrated his internal organs.
Yuuto slowly collapsed to the ground.
He tried to struggle to his feet again, but his body, penetrated, eroded and destroyed by the power of light, no longer allowed him to move. He could only lie on the ground like a weakling, completely at the rcy of others.
Seeing that Yuuto was alive, Rias and the others stopped in their tracks, quietly waiting to see what'd happen next.
"Yuuto Kiba, if you want to die, I won't stop you. Just run headfirst into it, I think you can manage that."
Yasuhiro planted the sword into the ground next to Yuuto. If he only moved his body slightly to get closer to the blade, the holy power emanating from it, would be enough to kill him.
Yuuto made no move, nor did he respond to Yasuhiro's words.
He simply gazed silently at the holy sword reflecting in his eyes, recalling the past. It was for the sake of this weapon that his companions and friends had endured the most agonizing trials, for becoming holy sword wielders was their faith.
But what awaited them in the end was the word failure. And a cruel fate of death...
"The holy sword."
Yuuto's lips parted slightly, revealing his sowhat chapped mouth. His tone was filled with despair and the deepest abandoned hope in his heart, his childhood expectation of holy swords.
Many people who knew Yuuto's past couldn't help but feel crushed seeing this scene, and several council mbers had tears welling up their eyes.
Yuuto's next move surprised many, yet they found it understandable.
He shakily extended his right hand and gently stroked the blade, completely disregarding the power emanating from the weapon that was constantly burning his hand.
With just a gentle touch, that portion was completely burned.
Yasuhiro sighed softly.
The Holy sword project, just as he had said, was a stain on the church and even with their desperate attempts to cover it up, that fact won't change.
Yasuhiro pulled out the excalibur blessing.
He couldn't let him continue to touch the weapon. If his body continued to accumulate too much holy power, it would clash with his demonic power within him.
At that point, even with Asia's, he probably wouldn't be able to escape death.
"Asia."
Yasuhiro called out to Asia, who was already eager to get onto the field.
Under the light of Asia's Twilight Healing, Yuuto's skin that was burned by the sword, was completely healed.
"Valper Galilei, rember this na. He was the mastermind behind the holy sword project, and he was the one who gave the order to dispose of you all. After that incident surfaced, he left the church and beca a stray."
With that, Yuuto had a new goal in mind. All he wanted now, was to kill that bastard.
"Thank...y-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yuuto fainted.
Asia's sacred gear could only treat physical injuries, it didn't offer much help in restoring ntal exhaustion.
After a month of ntal anguish, and the damage inflicted during his duel with Yasuhiro, had him completely exhausted.
Soon, Yasuhiro left the gymnasium with Asia.
...
"Ara, Ara~, his deanor was so charming! I'm envious of Asia," Akeno couldn't help but arch slightly.
She observed that Tsubaki, and several other council mbers had a strange look in their eyes.
What amused her most was that even Koneko beside her seed to have a slightly off look attitude.
"I'm becoming more and more interested in you, Yasuhiro Hyoudou, and that day, you and..." Akeno muttered to herself in the dark.
