Overgeared

Using his elbow, Dominion broke the sword that was stuck in his ribs. He threw his spear at the same time, but Hayate blocked it with his Dragon Killing Sword swung by his left hand, as if he had predicted the move.

———!

The collision between the sword and spear sent out a transparent shockwave, followed by a thunderous blast, the resulting shock sweeping through the Valkyries like a tidal wave.

[...This is the trick of the Sword Saint.]

Dominion took in the pitiful condition of the Valkyries, who were bleeding from their eyes, ears, noses and mouths, and figured out Hayate’s previous tactic.

It was the sword. Hayate’s weapon, made from the silver dragon killing energy, changed its weight every time. Sometimes it was so light that it broke easily. Other times, it was so heavy that it lost its sharpness. However, the Dragon Killing Sword was different at that moment.

The moment it collided with the spear, it emitted a resounding sound as clear as a melody. This changed the nature of the shockwave, causing it to induce internal injuries to those who listened to it. He must’ve been aiming for this from the very beginning after a lot of trial and error.

[Your fighting technique is quite inventive.]

Dominion could only praise him sincerely, despite feeling uncomfortable deep down.

‘The compatibility between our fighting styles is bad.’

Dominion’s forces had performed well against Martial God Chiyou in the past.

As they crossed the continent five times, Chiyou had barely been able to harm the Valkyries. This had allowed Dominion to inflict several serious wounds on Chiyou while maintaining his full strength.

Of course, Dominion had still been seriously injured.

In any case, Hayate’s style was completely different from Chiyou. Unlike Chiyou, whose entire focus had been on Dominion, Hayate’s attention was on the Valkyries. Every time he blocked or dodged Dominion’s attack, he attacked the Valkyries without aiming to deal a counterattack on Dominion.

Even when Dominion deliberately left himself exposed, Hayate’s strategy remained the same. He didn’t look away. He stood firm and only aimed at the Valkyries.

Recalling his previous fight with Chiyou, Dominion realized it was only toward the end of the battle that Chiyou had taken to slaughtering the Valkyries…

‘...Is it just a matter of compatibility?’

Dominion had been comparing Hayate to Chiyou, only to pause in his thoughts, shocked at the sudden realization. The reason why the Valkyries performed well against Chiyou–it was because of Chiyou’s greed!

‘It seems that he’s been harboring expectations for me for some time.’

Yes, that had been Chiyou’s test. He’d wanted to see if the all-powerful Dominion could make him experience death...

‘In the end, I failed the test.’

After checking the results sheet, Chiyou had started slaughtering the Valkyries fiercely.

[...Sigh.]

Dominion’s expression changed in real time as he sighed deeply. His face had always been stern, befitting an existence in the highest position such as his. Now, raw emotions like greed and aggression materialized on his face.
