A golden bell appeared and covered the demonic Shigure. However, the bell was shattered into tiny pieces in less than three seconds!

*Whoosh…* The demonic figure flashed right in front of Seiji, and stabbed directly towards his heart...

Yanagi Family sword technique, New Moon style, ”Heartseeker Sword”!

*Rumble… BOOM!* As Shigure stabbed, the black mist around him transformed into a drill. A crevice appeared in the earth which headed directly for Seiji. Large holes suddenly appeared in the nearby houses and walls from the force of this technique!

Seiji managed to activate his new [Emergency Flash] technique to dodge this attack. He knew that he would have likely been seriously injured or even dead if that attack had connected.

[Adrenaline Rush]!

Seiji then unhesitatingly activated the first ability of his [Shinji Kamizaki character reward card]. This caused all his physical attributes to greatly increase, improving all his stats such as attack, defense, reactions, speed, and senses!

In combination with his [Evolved Body-strengthening technique], he would be able to even directly face a true titan for a short time!!

*Whoosh…* Shigure flashed right in front of Seiji and once again swung his sword.

Shigure's movements were incredibly swift yet gave the impression of being slow. In fact, his movements could even be called abnormally beautiful.

This was actually a visual miscue created by spiritually enhanced footwork! Anyone that was unable to see through it would likely be cut in half without even realizing what just happened.

*Clang!* Seiji successfully blocked Shigure's sword attack.

Seiji's greatly improved physical abilities allowed him to barely follow Shigure's movements.

Their swords clashed over and over again as black mist shot everywhere. There were many loud sounds as new cracks kept appearing in the ground. The nearby cluster amaryllis flowers caught in the impact area all disappeared in flashes of light.

Although the fight might appear to be even, Seiji was actually at a tremendously lopsided disadvantage. He was using all of his power just blocking each of Shigure's attacks and couldn't even find a single opportunity to counterattack. And in just a few short exchanges of blows, Seiji felt his arm actually numbing from the impact of Shigure's blows!

Yanagi Family sword technique, New Moon style, ”Wing Dance”!

Shigure continuously weaved his sword up and down with great speed yet tremendous force at the same time. Seiji barely managed to dodge the first attack and block the second. The third sword attack landed a direct hit on Seiji. Just this one hit instantly shattered Seiji's personal barrier spell in a single blow!

[Bullet Time], activate!

Seiji did his best to put distance between them and dodge the next attacks!

*BANG!!!*

The last attack in Shigure's series of attacks had tremendous might as it directly left a huge crevice in the ground from the shock wave which destroyed a house several dozen meters away!

[Overload] onto [Overload], followed by [Overloaded White Calamity]!

Seiji grit his teeth and used the strongest spell in his entire arsenal. A pure white spiritual figure was formed by this spell.

At this moment, Shigure slightly paused for just an instant.

He mysteriously reobtained some of his senses of logic and reason. His hazy consciousness became slightly clearer.

”Seiji… Haruta…” Shigure took this opportunity to speak.

Seiji was astonished to hear his opponent who remained quiet all this time suddenly begin to speak. Seiji stopped in the middle of the process of having his summoned humanoid spiritual figure attach to himself.

”What… is that…?” Shigure pointed at the humanoid spiritual figure.

”…This is my personal ultimate and secret summoning technique, Shigure Tendo.” Seiji decided to respond in such a manner.

”Summoning… Please… Help me…”

”Help you? Help you with what?”

”Break free… from this… Aghhh…!” Shigure started making a sound of pain as he clutched at his forehead. The black mist around his body started moving violently.

Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.

”How should I help you?”

”This… is useful… give it to me…”

Give him the [White Calamity] spirit?

Seiji instantly furrowed his eyebrows.

”You almost managed to kill me! What benefit is there for me to give my most important summoned spirit to my enemy?”

”I… won't kill… you… I'll… help you… to win…”

”So, you mean that you're willing to abandon trying to take revenge for your older brother, and you're also willing to help me achieve victory in this tournament? Is that right?”

”Yes… Hur… ry… I… AGHH!!” Shigure trembled all over as he made sounds of incredible pain. The runes on his body were now glowing abnormally.

Seiji was now facing a dilemma. Should he trust Shigure?

This was an incredibly important decision.

”Yomi, what do you think?”
