A/N: This is an extra chapter to make up for missing a day. I had never promised everyday chapters, but I also never said I wouldn't drop everyday.
For now I'm going with the flow. Please give engagents, it takes a lot of work and ti making these fanfics and engagents give motivation to continue going 😁
ENJOY THE CHAPTER :)
________________________________________
Haru accelerated mid-air, using gravity to manipulate the space beneath him to twist and turn with impossible speed. Every swing of his katana was backed by Gravity Magic, each strike capable of crushing stone or bending the trajectory of projectiles. Agera t every strike with precision, his sword coated in anti-magic, slicing through the very forces Haru wielded.
He's incredible, Haru thought. He's reading my every move. What's the point of thought acceleration then???
Agera smirked, noticing the slight shift in Haru's gravity fields. "Ah, there it is. You are starting to get serious now aren't you."
Haru tilted his head, pretending to laugh. "I've been serious from the very start, you just annoyingly read my every move. Can you read minds or sothing?"
"Not exactly," Agera replied. "But centuries of sword combat let sense patterns. You're fast, but even pattern recognition has limits, let show you sothing amazing."
"Double Cherry Blossoms - Eight Petals Flash" scread as he moved
Haru was cut, eyes, throat, heart and all his vitals and he didn't know how. He had read the move but couldn't react in ti. He recognized this attack, used by Hakuro and Rimuru in the novel. How Incredible.
Haru regenerated, the smile and enjoynt couldn't be more apparent on Haru's face.
"What an incredible attack Demon Swordsman!" Haru says with a crazed look. "Please, show more!"
Agera is slightly taken aback. What is this shift in personality. Is this demon a battle maniac?
The two move collide again, swords ringing in a symphony of tal and power. Haru deployed Gravity Immobilization around Agera's legs and midsection, trying to trap him. Agera twisted, using his anti-magic barrier to cut through the field while simultaneously sliding behind Haru with a backhand strike aid at his flank. Haru barely blocked with a gravity-infused parry, the force sending him spinning backward, this makes him smile more, now this battle was starting to be fun.
From the sidelines, Diablo observed with a small chuckle, speaking to Carrera and Esprit.
"It seems my little Demon Swordsman is having a lot of fun" he says.
Carrera responds "He makes feel uneasy, he reminds of Rouge. That battle pervert"
Sowhere in the Cardinal World in the Icy lands of the North. Guy crimson sneezes.
Rain imdiately asks "Guy-sama, are you sick"
"Demons don't get sick Rain. You are such an idiot sotis" Misery responds.
Guy responds "It's probably nothing, just a sneeze".
Back in the battlefield in the Underworld
"Interesting," Diablo said. "He certainly does have certain traits of that guy, but I think they are coherently different."
Carrera leaned forward? "In what sense?"
Diablo responds. "I don't know yet, that's why I've been following him. He has a lot of different traits. Battle Instinct, curiosity and likes to joke around. I think he leans towards joking around more and not taking anything serious. That aside who do you see winning?"
Carrera responds "I don't know, I'd probably say a demon from my own lineage. If he loses he is a disgrace"
Diablo thinks didn't you just lose to ?
Agera then continues "What is your evaluation?"
Diablo smirks "This is going to be more than evenly. This is going to be tight. The maroon haired Greater Demon's speed gives him the upper hand in movent and reaction ti. Realistically he should win but your demon's 250 years of combat and anti-magic sword are the counterbalance. Whoever exploits a mont of overconfidence… wins."
Esprit folded her arms. "If only that swordsman could do us a favor of killing that maroon swordsman, it would make very happy."
Back on the battlefield, Haru's Parallel Thinking allowed him to execute multi-directional attacks that seed to split his presence into multiple angles of offense. Agera's sword weaved through them, cutting through gravity waves and feint attacks with uncanny precision.
They paused briefly again. Both breathing evenly. The ground around them was cracked and splintered. Small craters and floating debris hung in the air, caught in Haru's residual gravity fields.
"You're… very fast," Agera admitted, tightening his grip on the hilt. "Not many can react as quickly as you. But speed alone doesn't win battles."
Haru's smile was wide, almost unhinged. "Oh? That's funny, Do you really think I'm soone who relies only on speed, I have more in my arsenal."
Agera raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Do tell."
Haru's Gravity Magic flared violently, compressing a huge area around him while simultaneously creating multiple gravity projectiles. But this ti, he didn't attack head-on. He used barriers strategically, blocking all visible avenues of attack, then shifted his gravity fields in a subtle, overlapping pattern, imperceptible to even an expert without supernatural reaction speeds.
Agera's eyes narrowed, sensing the invisible trap. He struck down, cutting through the gravity field in one sweeping arc but Haru had predicted this exact attack and had repositioned him mid-swing.
A sudden, bone-jarring crunch of compressed gravity spikes erupted from below Agera's feet. The first wave immobilized him for a split second. Haru struck imdiately, a thrust aid at the chest. Agera countered with a lateral swing, but the attack grazed his clothing just enough to force a defensive reposition.
Haru's grin widened. This is it… the opening.
Agera, sensing sothing amiss, readied himself for a final counterattack. But Haru's Gravity Crush compressed the space around Agera's sword hand, slowing it fractionally. That fraction, smaller than a heartbeat was enough.
Haru lunged, his blade striking true. Agera deflected with a thin slice, but the residual force of the gravity field pinned his body, making the follow-up attack unavoidable. Haru's katana grazed the chest, drawing a streak of blood a narrow, almost imperceptible wound, yet decisive. And pointed a blade at Agera's neck.
The battlefield fell silent for a heartbeat.
Both warriors stepped back, breathing evenly. Their eyes t, and a mutual nod of acknowledgnt passed between them.
Haru muttered, "Looks like… I won this round."
Agera smirked faintly, as he regenerated with his chest wound quickly closing up. "By a narrow margin. I won't make excuses, this has shown I still need to grow. And I already have way to such a path, the next ti we et I won't lose."
From the sidelines, Diablo clapped slowly. "Interesting. How beautiful, to think I'd enjoy swordsmanship to such an extent. No, it has to be because of him."
Carrera muttered under her breath, "Hmph. What's so interesting about swordsmanship anyway. They brag about honor then go on to lose. This is stupid."
Esprit just shook her head. "Juane, I think that swordsman deserves a punishnt for giving the Yellow Lineage an embarrassing loss."
Carrera looked at Esprit and said "If you think that's an embarrassing loss maybe you need the punishnt. Forget it, don't wait up I'm going to ss with Demon Lord Leon."
Back in the Golden City of El Dorado, Demon Lord Leon sitting with a heap of paperwork shivered intensely.
Alrose standing nearby seeing this asked "Leon-sama, are you okay?"
Leon responded "I'm okay, I just have a very bad feeling."
Back on the battlefield
Haru looked at Agera, extending a hand. "That was… a great fight."
Agera clasped it firmly. "Indeed. You have skill, Greater Demon. Next ti, I won't hold back either."
The two swordsn stepped back, eyes still locked with mutual respect. The battlefield, scarred and shattered, bore witness to their clash, a battle of minds, hax, and centuries of skill.
