The sparks from the clash of swords and chain-linked short swords continuously lit up the night.
The roaring thunder.
The pouring rain.
Perfectly masked the sound of metal clashing.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, their blades collided over a dozen times.
Medusa had just used the recoil to retreat when Kaito Sora flashed in front of her, a grin spreading across his face.
The Wind Blade came down.
Medusa immediately swung her chain-linked short sword to block Kaito Sora's rapid strikes, but...
Whoosh!
A gust of wind surged toward Medusa.
At the last moment,
Medusa twisted her head.
The wind blade grazed her ear and slammed into the ground behind her, sending bricks and tiles flying.
Once engaged, the fight would be relentless.
His attack speed was incredibly fast.
Every few strikes, the black sword in his left hand would release a wind blade.
...
Medusa quickly processed the information from the battle.
With a fierce swing of her chain-linked short sword,
The slender iron chain lashed out like a venomous snake, coiling toward Kaito Sora.
Kaito Sora's blade, wrapped in swirling wind, deflected the chain.
But the tip of the chain, like a snake's tongue, curved in a 'C' shape and shot toward him at an even faster speed.
Kaito Sora swung Yone's sword.
The moment the blade was entangled, countless chains sprang out from all directions.
Centered on Kaito Sora, the chains tightly bound him.
"Such a hassle."
Kaito Sora sighed in boredom.
Fighting Medusa was like an elephant fighting a snake, or a Shaolin monk facing a Tai Chi master. He wanted a direct clash, but she kept dodging and weaving.
It was utterly uninteresting.
His magical energy surged, and the Five Thunder Spell activated.
Tiny arcs of electricity flowed through the chains binding him. In less than half a second...
Boom!
The chains exploded, shattered by the surging lightning.
"Trying to run?"
Kaito Sora's body crackled with electricity.
His lightning-filled eyes reflected Medusa's figure as she fled into the darkness.
With a sinister grin,
He raised his right hand, holding Yone's sword, and pointed ahead of Medusa.
Boom!
A massive sense of danger surged in Medusa's heart.
Instinctively, she halted and dodged to the side.
A bolt of blue lightning struck the ground in front of her, sending碎石 flying.
Lightning?
Medusa turned back in shock.
Torrential rain poured from the sky,
But as it fell near Kaito Sora, it was vaporized by the lightning surrounding him, creating a crackling sound. The water at his feet shimmered with electric snakes.
The two swords in his hands crackled with lightning, resembling the weapons of a thunder god.
Staring at Kaito Sora, who looked like a thunder deity in the rain, Medusa's mind flashed with a name.
Zeus?
Her courage evaporated in an instant. The innate fear of lightning made Medusa, who had already planned to retreat, turn and flee without looking back.
But how could she possibly outrun Kaito Sora?
"Still trying to run?"
Kaito Sora's lips curled into a villainous smirk.
Compared to Saber,
Yone, though a swordsman, had stats more akin to a Lancer.
His strength wasn't exceptional,
But his agility was top-tier, excelling in attack speed and technique.
While the Rider class was the only one among the seven standard classes that could match Lancer in speed,
Riders excelled in sustained speed,
While Lancers specialized in burst speed.
Combined with the explosive power of lightning...
Kaito Sora lightly tapped the ground with his right foot.
Crackle!
Electric arcs flashed, and a sound like a thunderclap echoed. Kaito Sora's figure vanished, leaving only the lingering electric snakes in the air.
His real body had already closed the distance to Medusa's back.
Seeing the panic on Medusa's face, Kaito Sora's expression twisted into a somewhat变态 smile.
He raised the Wind Blade, crackling with lightning,
And swung it down toward Medusa's head.
Time seemed to freeze.
Medusa's terrified expression.
Kaito Sora's laught wantonly
The wind and lightning blade descending toward her head.
Medusa's mind went as blank as the thunder-filled world around her, with only one thought remaining.
Escape!
She no longer cared about anything else.
Medusa immediately removed her 「Self-Sealing·Dark Temple」—the blindfold covering her eyes—revealing her stunning, pitiable face.
Then,
She opened her eyes wide.
The moment her golden serpent-like eyes met Kaito Sora's,
He felt the flow of his magical energy stutter, his body growing stiff as if weighed down by a thousand pounds.
But with a surge of lightning around him, the strange pressure vanished.
However, that brief pause was enough.
Kaito Sora's strike slowed just enough for Medusa to summon her chains, blocking the blow.
But.
The terrifying lightning, even in that brief contact,
Still coursed through Medusa's body, electrocuting her and causing her to let out a miserable howling.
The force of the sword strike sent her flying like a shadow.
Boom!
A wall collapsed.
Bricks shattered.
Medusa's body flew dozens of meters, crashing through the wall of a villa at the end of the street and into the building.
Kaito Sora, holding the Wind Blade in his left hand and resting Yone's sword on his right shoulder,
Walked leisurely to the end of the street.
Entering the breach,
He saw the scorched, electrified outline of a human on the ground and the shattered glass. He let out a 'tsk.'
"Still got the strength to run, huh?"
"Tough life."
As he spoke,
He suddenly felt two gazes on him.
Turning his head,
Kaito Sora fell into silence.
There were two incredibly beautiful girls, no less stunning than Yuuki and Mahiro.
One had white hair and blue eyes.
The other had flaxen hair and golden eyes.
Both were completely naked.
The flaxen-haired girl held a showerhead, from which warm water sprayed.
As Kaito Sora looked at them,
Her body trembled, and the showerhead slipped from her hand, falling to the ground.
Kaito Sora's gaze followed it down.
He saw the showerhead spraying hot water, the pure white, steam-covered tiles, and the bathtub behind the girls, already filled with hot water.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This place seems to be...
A bathroom?
