Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 19===
 
"Gaaaaaa --!"
 
After blocking a flurry of slashes Akatsuki jumped back, putting space between them.
 
He stared at the armor Knight in front of him, trying to calmly judged the situation.
 
......That bastard was gradually getting used to my attacks.
 
Even thought Akatsuki was the first to familiarize himself with other's movements, now he was gradually picking up on Akatsuki's patterns. The reasons were obvious enough, Ousawa Akatsuki thought.
 
......There's no other way than.  
 
Akatsuki secretly made a wry smile in his mind, and also a decision. So he looked at the armor Knight before quietly telling him:
 
"Apparently, as it stands now I can't beat you --"
 
Akatsuki was confident in his own judgment. And,
 
"For me to defeat you...... I just need to become stronger."
 
At the same time he said so his body began to emit a dazzling light.
 
Overflowing from his body was a torrent of Ki.
 
This was the same move Akatsuki used during the duel with Listy and the others, using renkan keikikou he was able to exceed the limits of his body. Taking into account the condition he would be in following the battle Akatsuki didn't plan of using this in the first place, because of great burden it puts on the body. However the immediate situation left him no other choice.
 
"This is the only way to defeat you."
 
The powerful Ki gushed out from his whole body as Akatsuki faintly smiled. And,
 
"Ready --"
 
Akatsuki bent his knees and lowered his waist, sprinting ahead like a shooting star rapidly approaching the armor Knight. Godspeed was the only way to describe it. The distance was shorten in an instant. He was holding the demon sword up high as he swung it straight down.
 
A strike that could kill in one hit.
 
Then, in the middle of his swing.
 
"......Do you really want to do that?"
 
Ousawa Akatsuki clearly heard the armor Knight's voice.
 
 
 
"-- That person is watching."
 
 
 
"--?"
 
The Knight's sudden words stopped him for a moment at which he stared blankly. At the same time gave him a chance to look out from the corner of his eye to see "that person." His hesitation left the black sword immobile half way in the air.
 
"Damn --!"
 
Akatsuki realized he was still in the middle of swinging down the black demon sword, however the armor Knight showed no signs moving.
 
And then -- the shadows of two people interlaced them.
