Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 8 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 13===
 
"...... Phew!"
 
Akatsuki lifted the extreme state his mind was under, by halting the use of renkan keikikou on his brain. In that state not only was his physical ability, but also his reaction speed was dramatically enhanced.
 
...... The only shortcoming was that it couldn't be used for a long time.
 
While at the same taking into account his current physical state, he couldn't help think -- the exhaustion from this technique was too intense.
 
-- One of the secrets of renkan keikikou was to substantially boost the Ki inside the body, beyond the limits of the body. While there was the usual physical burden to the body, that kind of technique he just used consumed willpower. And because there was no easy to understand signals like pain, it could lead to things like not being able to move anymore before he could notice.
 
...... However that didn't matter.
 
Akatsuki didn't forget that his confrontation with Kaidou wasn't over yet.
 
So......
 
"--------"
 
Kaidou standing in front of him, also extinguished the personal transparent wall he had set up.
 
Most likely figured hardening his defense would make it difficult to dodge or fight back with a barrier in place.
 
But that was also a sign the fight was near the end,
 
"It was fun, Kaidou...... but, there is a very important promise I have to keep."
 
And Akatsuki added,
 
"Although it won't be easy I have to -- crush you to undo this barrier to move forward."
 
Then, Kaidou laughed,
 
"It wasn't fun at all... ... Every part of my body is in pain, and most of all I'm tired. I can't wait to get to lie down and go to sleep."
 
But,
 
"If I can win out Ackkee my mind will be at ease, and should be feeling a little refreshed from that."
 
After he said so, Kaidou's face turned serious.
 
Akatsuki's expression also tightened, while materializing Lævateinn and taking a stance.
 
"--------"
 
"--------"
 
The atmosphere around them rapidly became strained. So much that neither one could take a breath.
 
And the next moment -- Akatsuki and Kaidou's figures disappeared.
 
Most likely caused by both of them taking action at almost the same time.
 
The single blow that will decide the outcome. The first to hit the other would be the winner.
 
So at that moment,
 
 
 
-- Something suddenly came over from the side.
 
 
 
With his body moving at such a high-speed, Akatsuki was only able sense the incoming object,
 
"What--"
 
The appearance of a huge ball of light had completely caught them by surprise.
 
Akatsuki and Kaidou's focus was solely on settling things with the other, so there was no way to dodge.
 
"-!"
 
The two were swallowed by the massive ball of light -- and the surrounding area in that moment was dyed white.
