Volume 5 Chapter 44-2 With My Victory, The Scenario Is Set
His gaze isn't on Horace... but on <Deus Ex Machina> that he's wearing.
"Nah, it's nothing."
"?"
Horace looks confused. It seems that way.
Seeing this, Rio smiles even more.
"Let's not ask about small things."
He raises his golden revolvers.
Charge, complete.
"You said it was confirmed, Horace. Show me."
"I don't get the flow... but I'll let it happen."
In the next moment, both attack.
"'Golden Supernova!'"
Rio's technique activates fast.
A golden laser shoots from the revolver.
But Horace stays calm...
"'Eruption XII'"
It's like an eruption, stronger than a discharge, swung with a magic sword.
It eats Rio's laser and hits Rio's whole body.
"Guh... Uoooohhh!"
Rio is blown away, shouts, crashes, and stops rolling.
A one-hit battle, decisive.
Their attacks were so strong, past assumptions didn't matter.
Clearly, Rio is hurt badly.
"Do you get what 'certainty' means?"
"Yeah, I get it. The meaning of 'certainty'... and that my strength can't match the 'myth' you walk in."
Rio stands up slowly, body damaged.
"It's strong power. No, you had it 12 years ago. You brought it out through experience. That's it."
"You explain things roughly."
"Yeah, I've lived here for a thousand years, just watching. My mind got dull."
Rio takes a deep breath, smiles.
"Keep your sheath, Horace Glasha. I, Rio Boroas of the Skyscraper Dragon, approve."
"Yeah, I'll take it."
Rio snaps his fingers, a door appears near Ginji and others.
"...Phew, let's go back?"
"Yeah, let's go, big brother."
The magic sword Duran's power was clear.
The 'sheath' was its resting place.
Horace had no reason to stay.
"This is my, Horace Glasha's power. I'm satisfied."
"I'm satisfied too. You're strong, and you look like young Sir Laris, which is strange."
The 4 spectators also left.
They went through the door.
Nousa left last.
"Wait."
"Huh?"
Nousa tilted her head, turned to Rio.
A laser from Rio's pistol hit her sword.
"Whoa! ...Huh? Wait?"
She checked her sword, no damage.
"I strengthened it with fire. Now it's up to you."
"Heh... thanks."
"Don't tell Deus."
"From Deus? ...Got it. I'll keep quiet. Well then."
"Yeah."
Nousa left through the door.
"...Gai and Zethar did well. They gave the sheath to worthy warriors. I still have questions, but... they'll know later."
Something clicked in Rio's mind.
"Fate feels involved. The first generation's name was 'Poraster Glasha', the North Star. 'Laris' comes from 'Polaris', another world's North Star. Horace's name is also a version of 'Poraster.'"
Blood rushed to his head.
"A turning point for the Order of the Sealed Dragon. Marked by the North Star... I wish I knew this before."
Rio sighed.
He wished he knew earlier, but it was impossible.
Yes, for him, it was impossible.
Even if someone noticed, it didn't matter to Rio.
