Every single weapon Inglis ever held in her hands was destroyed because none of them could withstand the load of the Ether, but this sword made of Dragon God Vufailbanes scales showed no signs of breaking. It could catch up to Inglis full strength.

As she had claimed, if only she had more strength, then she could have shot back the ray of light much more accurately. This was huge. Inglis overall combat power had jumped significantly.

After all, she had been upgraded from bare-handed to having a weapon.

I dont know whats so funny! But this only means our bridge has been burned!

Are you sure you just never intended to cross the bridge back to begin with?

OOBVIOUSLYY!! Only a man with loose screws would pull off a maneuver like this!

I, personally, think that it is a shame that someone with so much power is in such a hurry to meet his death, but perhaps, in your case, you didnt have many options left, did you?

?! Who the hell are you? Are you a new type of Hyrule Menace the Highland had created, or maybe Ironblood Chain Brigades secret weapon?!

Neither. I am just a simple Squire student, one that is about to assume the Honorary-cum-Temporary Emergency Acting Commander of the Imperial Guard Order title.

Ku ku. Poking at a man prepared to die, youre an evil person, I see! But, being treated so badly by such a beautiful woman isnt so bad

You have a peculiar taste, I see

I am going to die a meaningless death either way!! Might as well leave my mark on this world!!

Yes. I pray for your cause

HAA HA HA. Cute but not endearing, are you!!

The gems on Rocheforts shield shined dazzlingly. They emitted a ray of light, stronger and more intense than the ones before. It enveloped the entire shield and further permeated to cover Rocheforts body.

With a high-pitched ping, Rocheforts body shone as if it was screaming with joy. At the same time, the ground vibrated around the spot where he was standing, before finally collapsing and making a big hole, unable to withstand his pressure.

Which means those rays of light were still the weaker means of offense.

Just how powerful this attack would be Inglis couldnt hold back her excitement. And just how strong would the dragonscale sword hold it off Inglis was just as expectant.

An unknown enemy, and a new weapon not many battles could make her heart dance as much as this one.

ILL MAKE YOU CRY, ILL MAKE YOU CRY SOOO HAAARDDD!!!

Yes, please do! I look forward to it!

Inglis replied, glints in her eyes, a smile on her face, and her sword at the ready.

ORRAAAAAAHH!!!!

The ground exploded as columns of earth rolled up simply because Rochefort kicked the ground. Inglis thought back to the times she unleashed Ether Battle Techniques at full strength, and she recalled that a similar phenomenon happened.

This meant she couldnt have asked for a better opponent.

And with his ferocious momentum, he gouged the ground, leaving ruts in his wake, as he came straight at Inglis, aiming to bash her head-on!

Ill do the same then! HYAAAaahh!

Inglis similarly kicked the ground, charging toward Rochefort.

?! They vanished?!

I-, I cant see! I cant see them at all!

Be careful, everyone!! Brace for impact! A huge impact!!

Shortly after Rafinha warned the Knights

An ear-splitting thunderous roar was heard. All they could see was the figure of Inglis, slamming her sword toward Rocheforts shield. At the same time, the shockwave of the impact dispersed into the surroundings.

UWOOOooooghhhh?!!!!

The Knights then fell on their backs, one after another. It came as Rafinha warned.

Dont get up! You want to keep your body low!!

She called to those around her while she was covering King Charleas body with her own, to prevent the king from being blown away.

G-, got it!

Thanks! Will do!

Rafinha! How is His Majesty?!

Redas came and helped her hold down King Charleas.

Its all right! Hell be fine if I follow what Glis instructed! Hell be saved for sure! We just need to wait until Glis win!

Inglis would surely win! After all, they still had a lot to do after this. The real battle was to save Raphael and defeat Prisma. Inglis, of all people, wouldnt miss the opportunity to fight a battle like that, and she would crush anything that would sadden Rafinha.

That was why she wouldnt lose. She couldnt possibly lose. After all, losing to a Holy Knight wielding a Hyrule Menace meant that it would be impossible to defeat Prisma as well.

She would win. She would come out victorious and give Rafinha a smile, commenting about how good the fight was, completely unaware of how worried Rafinha was the whole time.

And that smile would be the best, the cutest she would make, so Rafinha couldnt help but forgive her for all the ridiculous things she just did. That was how it had always been, and that is how it will always be1
