100-99 Dariel gives out



A perfect example of the Emperor's Sky...
''A special move...?

 Zester's declaration made the surroundings tense.
 The giant man raises his beloved hammer and says as if to cut off the grand view.

"I admire and target the great hero Arantzill-sama. Your signature move, the 'Splitting Sky', is my ideal profound technique. But I'm not good enough to use a hammer. I don't have the versatility of Alanziel's.

The Slashing Sky is a flying tool that throws a mass of aura from the blade.
 It's a skill that mainly relies on slashing and stabbing.

 It's hard to master for Zester, who loves to use a hammer and is good at hitting his aura, but it's impossible to master.
 It's not possible.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's a technique that can be called the 'Great Sky' from a hammer.
"The 'Super Empty Sky' from the Hammer!

 Don't be ridiculous.

"Just like Alantzill's 'Supreme Supreme Sky', this profound secret technique will remain a byword for me. ..........Particularly, behold!

 The Zester leapt.
 I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it.

 You can't get away from the fact that you're not a part of it.

Falling sky! Crush everything! My original ultimate profoundness........!

 The hammer is swung down.
 A dazzling, shining aura itself was released from its head.

''Oui!

 An aura flying tool?
 Isn't that exactly what the "Super Emperor's Sky" looks like?

 The mass of aura ejected from the hammer was flying from the sky to the ground, from top to bottom.
 Moreover, it grew bigger and bigger as it advanced.

"Oh no!

 I ran away without a care in the world.
 It's because the range of the aura mass released by the zester is too wide.
 It's really as if the sky is falling.

Aren't we in trouble too?
''We have to run away!''

 The range of the aura attack was so wide that it even extended to Radey and the others who were watching the battle, and everyone had to take shelter desperately.

 Eventually, the aura mass reached the surface of the ground.
 It crushed a large area with a bushel of dirt and smoke.

 The square on the outskirts of the village, which was first the training ground for me and Radhi, and then the dueling ground for Zester, was crushed by a large area of aura mass, causing the ground to subside.

''You see, the secret profundity of my development...!''

 Zester landed from above.

''The aura mass released from the hammer's striking surface expands as it advances, crushing a wide area. Due to its characteristics, it's only suitable for firing downwards from above, but it can crush a large number of enemies in one fell swoop.

 Powerful and huge.
 A concept that is exactly the same as Aranzir's 'Super Emperor Splitting Sky'.

''That's why he named this technique 'Super Imperial Splendor'!

"Sturdy and Powerful.

 Well, I can see that it was designed with "The Great Sky" in mind, or rather, it's a total rip-off. The passion for it was clearly conveyed.

 But still.........

''This technique is a failure.
What?

 He must have been really confident.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them. After losing at the brave selection ceremony, he vent his frustration and invented the "Super Strength"! Why are you holding back on my deathbed, so to speak?
You've certainly developed a tremendous technique. You're not going to be able to get away with it. That's exactly what makes it worthy of being named 'Emperor of the XXXXXXX'.

 In light of the fact that even the official hero, Radie, didn't reach the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky' and only used the 'Splitting Sky'.
 It showed how much effort and persistence Zester had put into this technique.

''However, this technique has a fatal flaw. This is a distortion created by forcing the original 'Super Empty Sky' from the sword to be recreated as a hammer technique. Your efforts are great, but you've turned it into an obsession.

 The resulting flailing caused the depths to become flawed.

Your depths are so thin.
Thin....?
Literally. The aura mass that emanates from the hammer's hitting surface flies as a plane.

 In contrast to the fact that the original 'Super Empty Sky' is emitted from the sharp edge of the sword.

That's the reason why both Ryuu KuuKu and Ryuu Kuu are a flying slash of the aura itself. What about your technique on the other hand? Can it be a 'flying blow' properly?
''Ugh...?''

 Zester stammered at my point.
 He himself must have realized it.

"The aura itself can be used as a weapon. You didn't even know it was there.

 That's why the Streak of Strength is just a technique to make the aura mass fly.

"Your technique is a thin film.

 As it was released from the hammer's hitting surface, it flew off and became a flat film, and as it expanded, it became thinner and thinner.

Even a child can understand that if the volume is the same, the wider it gets, the less thick it gets. You were so obsessed with recreating the Great Sky that you overlooked this simple logic.

 You see why Zester didn't become a brave man in the first place.
 Too much respect for the brave men before him. It clouds his eyes and hampers his judgment.

"Try it again.
What...?
Your signature move. I'm gonna prove to you that what you just said is true.

 Of course, he has no right to follow my instructions.
 If you're in the middle of a serious battle, it would be outrageous to follow the enemy's words and go at their pace.

 Still, after a bit of a midway point.
 He leaped high with his legs with all his strength.

''Super Imperial Gangster!''

 And then he unleashed a desperate deep attack.

 As with the first blow, the aura mass released as a plane spread thinly.
 No matter how many times you see it, the range of the attack is astounding.
 If you're going to crush it with this breadth, it's a great move that's perfect for wiping out a large number of zakos.

 But against the ultimate strength of the one........

''Great Emperor Splitting Sky!''
"What the hell?

 The oversized aura slash from my Hermes Sword rises from the surface of the earth to the heavens.
 And then it collides head-on with the Zester's aura mass rushing down from the opposite direction.

 Click.........

 With a clattering sound for a clash of strike and strike force, my aura slash pierced through the zester's aura membrane.
 Should I say that I slashed through it?

''Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?''

 The aura slash of the 'Super Emperor Splitting Sky' that pierced through.
 It scraped through the side of Zester, who was still in the sky above, but the aftermath alone blew the giant body away.
 It collided with the ground and rolled without even landing.

 The aura plane released by his hammer lost its cohesion the moment it was cut in both directions by my 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky' and dissipated into pieces.

''This is the difference between what is and what is not.''

 He walked up to the fallen Zester.

'The difference between a mere lump of aura and an aura condensed to slice through. It's no wonder that your technique, which is spread out as a thin plane, is sliced through by the dense "Super Empty Sky" as a line.
My secret technique has yet to be perfected, has it?
''That's right. Regardless of the results, the scale and power output is definitely in the realm of approaching the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky'.

 The mistake this time was that I didn't have a clear idea of how to complete it.
 If that is improved and reworked, this technique has the potential to become a special attack profundity.

''No, more importantly...!
More than that?
"That was definitely the 'Great Emperor's Sky' technique? And how is that technique working for you?
Uh-oh.

 I'm afraid my attention is now focused on that one.
 For me, I want you to focus on your own reflection....

''Aside from his ability and insight, only Arantzill-sama can use the 'Great Emperor's Splitting Sky'.......! Who or what are you... or who are you?
I'm just a villager, you know?

 I don't want to make the story bigger by unraveling it in some weird way.
 I decided to fall in love with it as best I could.
