Mizushige's expression remains wanji even though he is facing Yuto's sharp eyes and ETOBA's cutting edge.
　However, the space between them is filled with a sense of urgency as if it will take all of their lives as it is if they are not careful.
　Yujin's concentrated Sacred Qi and Suijuana's clear spiritual power overflowed, and soon.......it touched like a natural consequence.
''Hah!''

　It was as if a gong had rung to signal the start of the battle, and Senki was placed on the foot that Yuto stepped into.
　The pause between each of Yuto's feet and swords is long and variable.
　In the blink of an eye, he caught Suijuana in the pause of Yuto's Aiken ETIbai.

''.........!

　The smile disappears from Mizushige's face, and the sharp gaze of Yuto and Mizushige's narrowed gaze coincide.
　At the same time, a mist enters the space between Mizushige and Yuto, and as the moisture content increases, it freezes over. A crystal-like transparent ice shield was constructed between them, and they could see each other through that thick ice shield.

(It would be suicidal for a spirit user to fight Yuto-kun at this distance. If it wasn't for me, he would have his head chopped off.)

　You will find that the ice shield that you have built is not hard enough to cut through so easily, but you have to be vigilant. It is clear that he will never create a situation where there is nothing between him and his opponents.
　This Mizushige's response would be natural.
　Instead of fighting in the range that Yuuto is good at, he buys a little time, and as soon as he leaves the spot, he chooses a counterattack technique and takes the most appropriate pause as a spirit user.
　After that, he fights while maintaining an effective distance as a spirit user.
　As a spirit user, as a water-heavy spirit user, there is no advantage to fighting Yuto in close combat.
　You can see through the ice shield created by Mizushige's spirit to see Yuto swinging an ETI into a kesa-slash-slash without a care in the world.
　Without panicking, Mizushige has already completed the preparations for the activation of his next jutsu, and when he has focused his attention on his next action to see if Yuto's sword will be played or received by the ice shield.......his eyes widened.

''........What?

　The ice shield constructed by Mizushige was easily cut off in one fell swoop, and Yuto immediately rushed at him. The power and intimidation that came from that Yuto was more than he could have imagined, and Mizushige was made to understand that this is the kind of pressure that might cost him his life.

(Ho........I see. I underestimated these girls. (I didn't expect them to change so much in one day.)

　Mizushige's gaze went to Mizuho and Marion, who had taken up positions on either side behind Yuto. It was understood that these two people were pitifully providing the best support for Yuto's actions.
　Mizuho had activated a fire spirit technique aimed at weakening the ice shield, and Marion had added an anti-jutsu defense ward and an increase in the defensive power of Masato himself to Masato. Thanks to this, Yuto was able to cut through the ice shield and also take a bold action without fear of the water heavy jutsu after cutting through it.
　And just now, he was still in a distance and position that allowed him to cover for Yuto.

(.........I'll do it.)

　The rapid growth of each of them individually was remarkable, but Mizushige honestly complimented the coordination between Yuto, Mizuho and Marion as being seamless and brilliant. It's a simple partnership that makes the most of Yuto as a vanguard, but it's incredibly frightening when you consider the ability of Dou Dou Dou Yuto.
　Yuto tries to get into the pocket and thrusts up with a blade that returns the ETIbai from below.

''It's ... interesting.''

　Mizushige released the water spirit art in his right hand that he had grasped for disengagement, and at the same time, when he grasped the fire spirit in his left hand, he exploded flames and developed a scorching space and tried to cut down on Yuto's attacking actions.

''..........Uu!

　Mizuho gritted her teeth for a moment and snarled, then immediately released her grip on the fire spirit, and at the same time, she grabbed the water spirit to try to offset the scorching space in front of Yuto by seizing the water spirit at the same time.
　To explain........that's all there is to it.
　But what Mizuho and Mizushige are doing is having a super duper advanced exchange as spirit users.
　Mizushige and Mizuho are activating multiple systems of spirit arts with their left and right hands while deploying the wind spirit arts. The wind spirit art allows Mizushige to act in the air, and Mizuho is also using it to gain the speed to match Yuto's movements.
　It's an offense and defense on that basis.
　First of all, the fact that they are exercising two systems of spirits simultaneously is not unusual in itself.
　On top of that, he was exercising the second lineage at the same time while switching between them instantly.
　The two young spirit users were able to do this in actual battle.
　The gazes of the young man who was called a devil genius because of his vermilion tone and the girl who had been left wanting the name of a genius crossed.
　Mizuho glared at Mizushige's cool but vacant eyes with eyes that had no room to spare.

(What a guy!　The sensitivity with this spirit while also interfering with the wind spirit that I had control over. (My spirit was slightly taken away from me!

　As the ETI white blade held by Yuto curls up flames, it cuts through the space of flames and passes very close to Mizushige, who has already ducked the trajectory that Yuto jumped into. A moment later, their gazes crossed.
　When Yuto dropped to the ground and landed as it was, Mizushige, as if he thought what he was doing, landed in front of Yuto without taking off. That would not only throw away his advantage, but also make it difficult for him to escape from this disadvantageous situation.
　As expected, Masato also frowned at this action of Mizushige. His actions are at a distance, as if he is trying to have a dialogue with himself.
　Mizushige's expression didn't change and he looked around the premises of the Shitenji family that had been turned into this battlefield.
　The contracted outsiders that Marinos had summoned had been almost exterminated, and Meira and the others who had been stepping in front of the heavyweight seats had apparently fought off the enemy's final onslaught.
　In other words, the only enemies left were the ringleaders, Julian and the others, and Mizushige who had sided with them.

''Oi, Mizushige!　I'm retreating, so maybe you can buy me a little time!

　At this moment, Julian's cheerful voice echoed from behind Mizushige.
　Yuto felt uncomfortable with Julian's tone of voice as if he was a changed person, but he was filled with sensuousness as he made it clear that he was preparing to retreat. There was no way in hell that Yuto had any intention of letting these guys go.
　These people with abilities who attacked the Shitenziji family are a dangerous organization that even the Dou Dou Dou family can't afford to miss here.

''It seems........it seems that we don't have any more time to spare here. Well then, before we leave, let's tell Yuto-kun my true intentions.

'You mean...?　I'm not going to and don't need to hear that!　And I'm not going to let you get away from here!

　Masato, who had no intention of listening to Mizushige's words, fiercely attacked Mizushige. At the same time, the Mizushige deployed ice shields and rock walls alternately between Masato and himself, and at super high speed.

''Let me go!

　Yuto cuts through them or bypasses them, but is immediately blocked from going and can't get close to Mizushige efficiently. Mizushige could see that he was simply defending himself and deploying his spirit arts.
　And I could see movement in Julian and the others behind Mizushige. It could be seen that the spirit demon power was beginning to gather around Julian.
　When Yuto clicked his tongue out of some impatience. A figure appeared on the left side of Yuto.

''Yuto-kun, I can help you too.''

Mr. Alfred!

　Suddenly, a swordsman appears with a large sword in one hand, destroying both of Mizushige's defensive techniques. Each strike is more powerful than Yuto's, and with one swing, multiple ice shields and rock walls are destroyed.
　However, as if to match it, the speed at which Mizushige's defensive walls are deployed is still increasing.

''I won't let them!　Marion!

Yes!

　Mizuho and Marion also activate their jutsu as Yuto moves, and directly or indirectly check Mizushige who is blocking Yuto's path.
　Mizushige prevents Mizuho's Kamitachi without changing her expression and breaks away from Marion's purification jutsu deployment point. He calmly defends himself while dealing with Yuto, Kensei, Mizuho and Marion at the same time.
　In this situation, Mizushige speaks to Masato.

''Yuto-kun, I don't really want to fight with you. No, I even want you to come with me if possible.

What are you...?

'Yuto, perhaps you too see the four heavens or three thousand worlds. A different approach to us spirit users. Have you ever felt the beginning of a world that wasn't here?

!

　Yuto's eyes widen.

'Only you ... it's the beginning of a world with only you, Yuto. You could call it the birth of a new universe.

　Suddenly, Mizushige turned his attention to Mizuho.
　Mizuho felt a chill run through those eyes of Mizushige's. Because Mizushige's eyes didn't reflect this world.
　It's as if she's watching a movie or drama that she has no interest in. It was as if he was the only one looking into this world from a different perspective.

''Ruiho, you might get there too. I didn't feel this way when I first met you. You have the potential to stay beside me. No, I should say, I'm beginning to have it.

What...!

　Mizuho spits out with a face that doesn't hide her displeasure.

'What are the three thousand worlds, what are the four heavens?　I, Sanzenin Mizushige, only want to know the heights that the spirit user reaches...........M!

　Mizushige turns his face to the sky.
　At the same time, Sword Saint Alfred shouts out.

''Yuto-kun, get away from this place!　Take care of your ears and eyes. Mizuho, Marion, you too!　Hurry!

　Yuto and the others reacted instantly to Alfred's instructions and tried to break away from the water weight.
　A dark cloud began to rise in the heavens at an impossible speed, and a sound and flash of light occurred as if the heavens were going to burst.
　A roar that shook the earth also resounded and the area was white-out.
　Immediately after, the lightning launched by Yi Cheng fell on the water weight.

　

''Well, now it's our turn. Doberk, if you let go of the blow, I'll run.
