then boiled at his beckoning. Senses that had dulled,
heightened at the command from his sharpened mind. A connection that had since been severed, was forced back into existence by his unconquerable will.
Divine power flooded out his every pore, bathing him in golden light as he felt the true power of a Campione course through his veins.
The girl had drawn her sword. She looked confident with it. She had defeated the Sword Princess with it, after all, and she must have somehow thought that it would be her trump card.
Godou grinned.
How wrong she was. She should've fought him barehanded. Because now the only thing she'd be giving him was an excuse to draw a sword of his own.
He called upon the Authority. No, it was more than that. He was a friend. An ally. A partner.
The light that enshrouded him seemed to have grown a will of its own. It swirled, coalescing into his palm, and the corporeal light solidified itself there to form the gleaming edge of a blade. The energy was sucked in by the metal, and then spat out at its base to form a golden hilt and guard, leaving behind a sword as black as midnight in Godou's hand.
"Ah. The taste of battle. It has been a while."
Godou saw everybody flinch. Even Aiz suddenly sat up straight, her eyelids snapping wide open as her gaze was glued to the thrumming blade he held.
"Why do you all look so surprised? Have none of you seen a talking sword?"
The sword shook in his hands, and Godou allowed it to do as it wished. It raised itself and with it, Godou's arm, to point its sharp tip at the red-haired's girls throat.
"I can assure you that I cut as well as I can talk."
The first traces of nervousness and apprehension flashed across his opponent's face. "What...are you?" she asked.
"You wish for me to reveal my identity, and yet you keep so many secrets from my partner, including your name. That is not a fair trade, no?"
The girl gulped. She charged, swinging her sword at Godou's neck, who did nothing but stick out his hand with the sword. A straightforward attack like this could be easily countered.
"Foolish."
But at the last moment, the girl ducked, her first attack nothing more than a feint, as she tried to stab Godou in the gut. It had been the right choice, for Godou's own blade swung millimeters above her head just after her maneuver. The panic in her eyes told him that she knew that if she'd acted even a moment later, she would have been dead.
"Better."
Still, the tip of her sword was an inch away from his stomach. He slammed his sword down. Divine steel cut through her sword like it was butter, and then it shattered in her palms, splintering into dust.
She blinked at her now-empty hands, immediately leaping back before Godou could stab her. Her eyes narrowed down at his sword, then she glared at him. "This isn't over," she said, leaping backwards.
An even greater influx of power surged through his body. His body felt as light as air. No, it was more accurate to to say that his body had become air. He'd activated the Raptor, and the two active Authorities had fused, turning his body into a living sword made of the wind.
"I agree."
In the time for it took for her to take a single step in her escape, Godou was already in front of her, and a blade made of air slashed out to cut her.
'She has got good reflexes', his partner thought to him, as she leaned backwards to avoid the attack.
But they weren't good enough, because he deactivated the Raptor to land solid kick on her stomach, sending her reeling backwards as blood and spit trickled out of her lips.
She tried to get up, but her legs gave way as she clutched her gut in pain. Godou walked towards her, dragging the sword behind him.
"Perhaps now we can conclude this battle."
He could see the panic in her eyes. He'd seen it countless times, when Heretic Gods who thought themselves to be infallible and invincible fell to his blade. He enjoyed teaching them just how little the word 'immortal' meant to him. He relished in her fear, and he would enjoy the fountain of blood that would spew out when he-
He stopped himself.
He let out a deep sigh.
"You're making me think all these nasty thoughts, aren't you?"
The sword in his hand seemed to shirk back slightly. "Ah. So you've noticed."
"Stop it. She's just a girl."
"But I am having so much fun. Look! She's trembling!"
She was, and Godou took no pleasure in looking at it. The inherent thirst for battle every Campione had was unquenchable, and each moment in combat only intensified the desire some more. This was why it seemed like every Campione was a battle-maniac, and sometimes even Godou found himself lost in the euphoria of a good fight.
But could this even be considered a fight?. The weapon in his hand had been used to slay Gods, and using it for a rogue tamer was like bringing a hydrogen bomb to a water balloon fight.
Still, the girl had been more than willing to kill him, so Godou couldn't completely let down his guard. The point of his blade hovered dangerously near her throat.
She gulped.
The sound of cracking glass suddenly interrupted them, followed by the shaking of the earth and a malevolent roar that seemed as though the Dungeon itself was howling in hatred.
The ever-darkening shadow beneath his feet made Godou look up.
"That's a big guy." Even the god-slaying sword seemed dumbfounded at the sight of the black giant descending from a crack in the ceiling aimed right above them.
"Run!" he looked down, wanting to help the fallen girl up, but blinked in surprise when he realized she was already gone. She'd taken the opportunity to escape, and Godou cursed that he'd wasted precious seconds that could've been used
for running for his life.
This...this was definitely his fault, he was sure of it.
