And all that would be pretty easy, if the man in front of you didn’t stand in your way. Proteted by some red barrier that nullified your attacks, the man of ash, Leonard Bradley looks down at you as he raises his holy blade. “If you wish to keep fighting Kouga, then I will end this! Stinger!”

The angle is awkward, but it speaks of the swordsmanship this man holds that he is able to bring down his blade for a furious straight stab at your neck! The motion is clean and elegant, and it certainly would have sliced your neck off if Leonard was fighting someone else.

But the man of ash is fighting you, and you will not give up! “Shut up!” The moment the blade falls, you move to the side, and with your golden left arm, you grab Leonard’s sword and lock it in place!

>Kouga HP 20->19/20

>Leonard HP 18/20, B????? Armor still active!

Just being near the light of the key of exorcism hurts you, but you can stand this pain, “Shatter!” With your free right hand, you strike the Key of Exorcism right in the flat of the blade!

The metal in your Cloth and the sword meet, and needless to say the weakest one gives in easily, and thus you break the enemy sword is half with a single resounding smash!

Before Leonard can do anything, you retreat several steps back, leaving a safe distance between you and your enemy. For a few moments, you await Leonard’s reaction, how will this man feel about you breaking his sword.

A part of you hopes he would get angry at least, if anything that would make him start getting sloppy and allow you to find some opening to his barrier, but instead… instead the man does nothing.

Leonard simply raises his broken sword to prepare for another lunging stab with his offhand forward and his right hand near his head, the blade parallel to the ground. “Honestly, I never expected for you to break my sword, I guess I underestimated you, Kouga.” The mage smiles at you, and suddenly you feel shivers crawl up your back. “I promise to not make the same mistake again, Witch!”

“No… Agilao!” Power gathers in Leonard’s left hand for less than a second, and then suddenly a great tremendous fireball shoots itself at you, but that’s not all! “Fatal Sword!” Right behind that literally man-melting sea of flames that is coming for you is a man, a man that will mercilessly stab you to death with his holy sword.

What do you do, Saint of Mars?

WISE UP: In this city of Light…

Sorry Kouga, but I have no data on this city of light spell. I am asking around but I am getting nothing. How could the church develop something this complex under our noses? No… what probably happened that someone keep this secret… but who? I promise to investigate this Kouga, but first, let’s go over some what I have so far.

This Angelic Layer spell is the real deal, or at least as close as you can get with something human made. So far I think that the spell uses the creation of the Millennial Kingdom on Earth in the book of Revelations as the foundation of its mystery. One way to describe it is that they have accelerated the world until the time of reckoning came, at least that’s what I think.

So far, I believe that mechanically this city of light is some kind of pocket dimension, or at least an artificial Domain, where the necessary elements for the creation of a world of true light have been met. Well, that keeps things simple, to break this illusionary future world you only have to defeat the one who casted the spell, and no, I don’t think Mr. Bloody Swordman was the one who did it.

Until you find the master of this domain, the spell will keep running (the mana underground will feed it happily, so yeah you can use Mana Burn too), so don’t be afraid to run about and find that bastard.

In away having this spell be cast is not bad (besides the fact that it will make you weaker), the Domain will ensure that innocent people will be kept out of this battle, and will prevent a Hellgate from opening while the Domain is up, so now you can take your time and find a way to get out of the trap without worries.

>>35090535

I hate to suggest this… but you could try using your right arm to break the Barrier that prevents you from escaping this artificial domain. You might have to ask your shady patron for some help, but it is probably a good way to save yourself some time.

Yeah, I know it’s a bad idea, just saying. Still, keep that in mind, and take care.

>Signed, Silber.

PS. About this Leonard, if you want I can run combat analysis on his barrier and his stats, with some luck I will be able to find some info on how to defeat it. But don't count too much on this...

Stat Wise he is not that much stronger than you, your agility score is better than his, but his physical strength and his Cosmos are quite high. The high Resistance he has is probably due to his barrier… I will keep analyzing to see if I can get anything else.

You try to dodge out of the wall of fire that is collapsing into you, but the incandescent blaze moves to fast, the spread is too wide, and even though you try to sprint away from the attack, you are caught the sea of flames as the force of the spell overwhelms you!
In an instant, the piece of heaven you are standing on become an inferno, flames spread across the golden streets and the black building, consuming everything with their wicked heat until they turn this divine paradise into ashes.

Amidst that inferno, you burn, the heat cooks you alive and devour parts of your skin, but even so you aren’t dead. Your cosmos and the Pegasus cloth do everything they can to keep you alive, they prevent the fire from consuming you, but neither can do anything about what is coming next!

>Kouga HP: 19->14/20

Everything in these flames should burn, everything but one thing, that man. Leonard swiftly crosses the lake of fire he personally made, dancing and jumping around the tongues of flame until he lands in front of you.

You try to move, you try to force your body to jump, but the intense heat was too much for you, it completely drained you and now all you can do is barely stand before your enemy!

“Pierce, Sacred Blade!” Without any preamble, Leonard simply stabs your chest with what’s left of his sword! Your weathered Cloth gives in to the attack, and soon the steel finds your flesh!

The force of the blow sends you flying, flying until you leave a crater in a black building several streets down the road.

>Kouga HP 14-10/20

Your body is battered, your chest is bleeding, and the light of that dagger in your chest hurts like hell.

A part of you wants to pass out, but somehow you manage to find the strength to stand. You can’t give up right now, not now, BT is setting some traps to help you, and Vivi left to help Eden, so you have to pull your part and stop Leonard here.

Talking about the man, the swordman calmly walked down the street until he found where you landed, hands empty, Leonard faces you. “Child, I will give you this last chance, give up and I promise to spare your life. If you give me the Grimoire and tell me everything you know about the witch of darkness, then I promise to spare you.”

How kind, how noble, but… you don’t think you can accept that, so what do you do?

WISE UP: Leonard Analysis II

Silber Notes: Kouga, I think I have a clue about this guy, his swordsmanship style is related to dragon slaying, it has a core component in using your sword to defeat a great evil (you in this case). So maybe try to look for a great swordsman in Christianity, that must be the basis from where this guy is basing his powers.

Also, talking about his barrier, there must be some sort of weak spot, or some place where it fails. There must be some part of his body where you can hit him for normal damage. Try using a spread attack, and see if he protects a body part more than anything else, that might be his weak point.

Maybe... then again is Leonard the type of guy to run around like a Saint? And if so where is Ascalon or his horse? And that wouldn't explain that protective power. Either we have to think of someone else in Chritianity or maybe the legend this guy is using is something older.

But well, like I said, you just have to find whatever weak spot he had. Think of Achilles, his heel was the fatal opening to his armor, it should be something similar.

Barely standing up, you quickly try to find what you can do, right now facing Leonard head on is just a stupid idea, and you doubt you could catch him off guard if you play dead, so that leaves one option, to lure this guy into a trap.

In the corner of your eye you catch something flashing for a spare second, and then you know. With an unsteady step you drag your feat towards a nearby wall, and catch your breath. “I won’t give up, Leonard, no matter how much you beat me up…” Using the building to support yourself, you stand firm, and stare at your enemy in the eyes, “I won’t give up Leonard, even if I have to run away!”

Gathering all the cosmos you have, you jump towards a building, and wall-kick off into one of the many alleyways of the city that once was Paris. Behind you, Leonard gives chase, and in that moment you know you have the guy!

Pushing your advantage in speed against the guy, you force him to follow you for several blocks, until you lead him towards the place BT laid her trap!

You dash past the spot, and then turn, just in time to see several quart missles shoot form the ground, all homing towards Leonard! But before the projectiles could strike him, Leonard jumps backwards a great distance, causing the missiles that are following him to funnel into a smaller cone.

“Useless, come my flames, Agilao!” Once again the man calls upon his fire, and with a single tongue of fire, BT’s trap is defeated! But that is fine, you and your partner already expected this!

From behind Leonard, the ground behind the man breaks open, revealing your partner with her weapon! “Strike true, my control rod!” This is the spear that BT used that time you fought her, the prototype god-killing weapon that Black Tarantula used to seal off Victor III when he went berserk during your mission against Black Dragon and his band of merry alchemists a few weeks ago.

Versa aims to strike Leonard’s back, but the man is not that slow! The instant he senses your partner, the swordsman instantly digs his feet into the golden streets below him, and uses his momentum to turn his body around, trying to block the fatal attack. It was a contest of skill, one that sadly Leonard won in the end.

Instead of breaking his spine in two like BT planned, the spear strikes Leonard underneath his left ribs, the tip barely piercing the red barrier that has protected the man this whole fight.

Leonard 18-> 13/20, B????? Armor still active!

The damage is minimal, but it’s enough, for the first time in this fight, someone has finally made this guy bleed, and if he can bleed that means you can beat him.

Sadly, BT has to drop her spear, as Leonard breaks it in half with her hands, and with a backflip your friend lands besides you, ready to fight by your side. Staring at the two of you, Leonard ignores the damage he took, and merely raises his two hands, in a fighting position! Mana gathers around the man, and you think he is preparing to do something...

What do you do? Leonard has the spear point still digging his flesh, so maybe you can use that to attack again? But you feel that the swordsman won’t get that careless again.

>Punch the Spear, it’s a weak point you made!

>>35094186
And this is not even his final form!

>>35094155
Versa moves first, the Black Tarantula Silver Saint uses her alchemy and claims control over the golden streets that fill the roads of this artificial heaven. In mere seconds Gold breaks down and transmutes, transforming into the rocks that contain the mineral BT has complete domain over, Quartz.

The newly formed granite shift and twists underneath Leonard, growing to constrict his legs and binding his movements! Even if the man might be invincible due to his armor, he can still be contained.

This is the moment you start to draw the stars of the Pegasus constellation with your hand, drawing in power from your patron, to power up your next attack!

Bound and trapped, Leonard knows he doesn’t have the time to cast a spell, so he does something else, he rips out the fragment of the spear he has in his ribs, and throws the Longinus at you!
The makeshift javelin flies directly at you, at the spot where the swordman buried his sword in your chest! But you won’t allow the spear to kill you, not yet! Using the power you have gathered, you make the stars shine with light and simply punch, “Pegasus Ryuseiken!”

The stream of light you unleash blankets the road in miniature comets, each traveling faster than the speed of sound! First your attack impacts the tip of the Longinus, sending the spear straight at Leo!

There is nothing Leonard can do to dodge your attack, so he doesn’t even bother, he merely raises his fists and prepares. By now the opening the Longinus made in his armor has healed, so he allows the rain of white comets to break apart when they meet his bloody red armor.

>Leonard HP: 13->11/20

Now he has to concentrate, amidst the sea of white light there is the thing that is truly dangerous, the tip of the spear! “OHHHHH” With a prideful roar, the swordsman ignites his fists in fire and punches the flying piece of the holy spear! The holy stone weapon BT made shatters in the impact, and soon debris covers everything!

>>35094788

The moment you lose sight of Leonard, you raise your guard, but it’s too late, from your side you see fire, the burning hands of the mage lunging to strike you down! “My claws are spears, spears that will pierce the flesh of my enemies!” Even though they are burning, his red clawed hands strike out to you, ready to pierce you like the deadly spears the swordsman proclaims they are.

>Brawler is active! His hands are the hands of a great calamity! For they are envoys of evil!

Leonard is striking you with all his strength, with power the equals the beasts of myth you once heard about in the Sanctuary! What do you do?

Leonard’s movement is perfect, his breathing is perfect, his foot work is perfect, his attack is perfect what happens next can only be the fatal epitome of perfection.

In his first move, Leonard shifts his weight and attacks, he interrupts your counterattack with a simple punch to your gut, and one that opens you to what comes next. With salvage efficiency, Leonard’s strikes forwards with his hands, his claws tearing into your cloth with the power of a monstrous beast of myth, and then the tears!

In his flaming hands, your chest plate breaks into a million pieces, leaving you exposed to his fingers that both rip into and burn your body!

>Kouga HP: 10-> 6/10

With your cloth broken, you are unprotected against the salvage assault of his beast, without any hesitation, this man who devoured the power of a dragon brings down his hands for one final strike, ready to rip your lung out with a single move!

But something stop him, before he could give you the final blow, many strands of filament wrap around Leonard’s hand, stopping it in place! “Get away from my friend, Inheritor of Gram!” But that doesn’t stop there, soon even more filaments of quarts wrap around the swordsman, restraining him completely.

>Red Eye Engine ACTIVE= the Philosopher’s Stone is Burning!

“Thanks, BT.” The one who saved you is Black Taratula, your friend Versa. From the corner of your eye you can see her sweating, with one hand glowing a sickly red, as she quickly manipulates the almost transparent quartz cables through her alchemy!

How strange, a few weeks ago this trick almost killed you in the sands of the dessert you meet Versa, but now it the thing that saved your life!

“OOHHHHHH!” But that’s not enough, the best she trapped soon breaks free by burning the threads, and Leonard tries to strike you again!

“Restrain, overload!!” At BT’s command even more cables instantly form around Leonard, the process of alchemy being bypassed by whatever BT is doing, soon BT piles granite around the man, and soon Leonard is covered in a sphere created through arcane arts.

But the thing won’t hold for long, as you try to stand, you can see BT concentrating deeply as she tries to maintain the cage she just made. Leonard is probably burning off the Quartz using his magic, which means that BT must continually reconstruct the cage to hold this beast.

Honestly, you find this quite scary. Even though BT is bypassing the steps of alchemy and is almost instantly creating her binds, Leonard is burning them off faster than what your friend can make them.

It’s scary, but because you know it’s scary, you know you must act, so what do you do? BT is concentrating on holding Leonard, so if you order her to do anything, she will have to lower her cage.

Still, knowing this you decide to…
>Strike Leonard yourself, you will punch him with Shinning Left!
>Burn your cosmos, you have to recover a bit!
>Strike him from afar, you know the spot! Pegasus!

Your chest hurts, but what hurts more is your trampled pride! So that is why you gather your cosmos and prepare for your next attack, “Shine on Pegasus!” But behind you, BT also prepares, as she stops trying to contain your enemy and shifts girls.

“Command Set: Object Replicate, Target: Longinus XIII Replica, Amount: Unlimited (Until my body burns out!)!” Using the power of the crystalized aqua vitae in her left hand, Black Tarantula starts to work. With her alchemical power she reaches out to the nearby buildings, breaks them down into usable blocks and then starts to rework the material into what she wants.

Soon the few remaining black buildings and golden break down into an endless valley of sand, and then from the sand spears come out, row after row of spears begin to form, until you can’t they fill everything in your vision!

This is quite literally a army made of an unlimited number of spears. Cursed spears made of quartz and inscribed with ancient runes, these spears exist for one reason and only one reason: to kill gods.

And luckily enough, someone wielding a legend like Leonard is lower than that.

“Target: Inheritor of Gram! Fly off and gouge! Longinus Rain!” At her command, the god-killer spears drink from the sacred stone until they become red, and shot off to pierce the man who is a dragon!

Seeing the seas of endless lances that come from him, Leonard does not feel fear, no instead, the man draws something from his back! He pours all the mana he has left and summons it! “Rise again, my Red Sun!”

In that moment, for a mere second, the phantasmagoria that is this Angelic Layer falls off for a second, the broken down streets and buildings are replaced by the streets and buildings of Paris, but more importantly you see an inferno consume everything!

The heavenly simulacrum returns instantly, and in that moment you see a small sun be born before you!

Before the city of Paris is destroyed, the heavenly simulacrum returns instantly, and in that moment you see a small sun be born before you!

>Burning Divide! May the Fire of Hate consume everything!

In this heaven a demonic sword like the one he wields can’t be allowed to exist, so Leonard can’t even manage to wield his blade for more than a mere second. But it’s enough, in that mere moment the flames of Gram consumed the sea of spears that came for his heart!

In a mere instant what once was an army of weapons became a pile of nothing but ash and cinder.

Barely half a dozen spears survived the demonic flames, and each barely managed to impact Leonard’s armor with their attack.
>Leonard HP: 9->6/20

BT falls to the side drained, but she has done enough, you will carry everything out from here. With the power you have been gathering you attacked with all your might! “Pegasus Ryuseiken!”

Once again the world before you became washed in your light, as your rain of comets shoot towards your enemy!

>Leonard HP: 6->4/20

Leonard does not bother with even dodging your attack, no the man impulses himself towards you, into the rain of comets. Swimming in your river of violent light, the man who is blessed with the bloody dragon armor stands before you!

“KOUGA!” With his two hands joint together, Leonard lunges towards your neck, his hands like the great maw of a dragon ready to tear your throat apart!

You don’t have time to dodge, and you probably can’t guard this blow, so what can you do? BT is too tired after that massive attack she just did, so the only one you can count is in yourself!

Your next move is...
>Burn your Cosmos! Punch him with Shinning Left!
>Bless yourself with the Darkness, Equip Evil Right!
>Ask for a blessing from a God? [Mars or Athena?]
>Grapple him, show him your Pegasus Rolling Crush!
>Other?

Leonard shifts his lunge mid-attack, and with a unhuman move, turns his body around to punch you in the face! You already know you can’t run away from this man, you already know that this is probably the best chance you have to defeat him.

That’s why you simply burn your cosmos and rise to face him! Burning the thing you call courage in your heart, your cosmos burns, it burns as brightly as it can, and its light shines a way for you!

Like before Leonard’s technique is perfect, his punch is perfect, but even so… even so you dodge the attack! In the last moment you twist your head away from your opponent’s fist, and that is the opening that changes everything.

It is a small thing, a small error than in any other moment might have not changed anything, but this time, this one time, you take advantage of it and you punch! Gathering every scrap of cosmos you have and converting it into light, you punch!

“ORAORAORAORAORAORORAOORORAOOAAA” Without mercy you pummel Leonard’s body with your fist, striking as fast as you can, burning all your cosmos to ensure the man does not escape! A part of you takes a small delight on the meaty sound of your armored fist impacting the draconic armor of your foe, but that only helps you to keep burning to keep punching!

100, 200, 300, 500, 800. 1000! Each one of your punches does little damage, but you keep punching, you punch until your hand bleed and your bronze gauntlets break, and somehow eventually… eventually all your attacks manage to pierce through!

When you punch the swordsman one last time on his face with one solid blow, the man falls down… and he doesn’t stand again!

>Leonard HP 4-1/20, K.O.

You wait for a few seconds, but Leonard doesn’t stand, and even though you are almost breathless, somehow you manage to tell the man this, “Sorry, ha, ha... but I won’t lose to you… ha, someone like you who allowed himself to be consumed… ha, by his revenge.”

>>35098988

You are not sure you can judge someone like Leonard, but you feel that you have to tell him this, that if he continues his path, all he will have left is that shitty darkness that no one needs.

Leonard probably didn’t hear you, but you feel… you feel that this was important, and that’s enough.

This is your victory, and now you are free to keep the Grimoire.

“Ha, Ha… my …victory.” Gasping for air, tired to the bones, your cosmos burning low, bleeding all over and with your chest burning, you somehow still stand savoring your victory.
After all this, after so many close calls, with BT’s help… you did it, somehow you did it, you defeated this guy… and that’s when the sky flashes twice!

>Divine Thunderbolt!

First from the heavens the city of light is pierced by an authority that supersedes this fake heaven, by the power of the true God that rules the Skies, Zeus!

>EX-CALBUR COLDBANRD!

Then from the earth, a wave of endless light rises carrying the power of the miracles in men’s heart. The light that shines brighter than the sun bisects the sky, slicing apart the sun and this fake world in half!

After that the world returns to normal, the piece of heaven artificially brought by the Angelic Layer is returned to normal, and soon the city of Paris fades back into existence (or maybe it should be that you jumps into existence).

Everything is back to normal, and you find yourself in a small closed off alley in the city you just left. Tired, spent and broken, you sit down besides the unconscious BT, and lean against her (you hope she doens't mind this, you just want to be close to someone right now), close your eyes…

... and that’s when you notice it, in the air, a sick odor that kills everything. It the smell of a poison that is the enemy of all living things, the smell of the shitty darkness you have no tolerance for.

It smells like miasma… the city of Paris smells like miasma, the darkness that is the enemy of all that lives.

>Kouga: Saint of Mars Ep 32. END

NEXT TIME: We (hopefully) finish the City of Light Arc, and move on to other things. Plus we have some interludes about what happened. Plus more fights! Congrats Kouga! Also we get to see how beaten Eden was and we might start the Silberkreuz interlude. So let's have fun!

Well with this we finish today's run, I hope that everyone had fun today! If anyone has any critiques, comments or questions, please ask them. Also I want to congratulate on you guys managing to force Leonard to use his demonic sword, I honestly never expected that, so consider that a vital achievement.

>>35099067
damn missed the thread, sorry doood

>>35099067
Hoorah we pissed off another guy enough that he'd want to rip our lungs out

What's the count 3 no wait 4? Thanks for he thread Belk

>>35099083
No problem, I just hope you enjoy catching up, dood. Anyhow, I want to ask you guys your opinions about this match, did you guys find it fun? Was the Leonard too strong? Weak? I honestly want to hear that.

>>35099131
To be strong, means to piss off people, just enjoy life! Plus you got stronger after this, the Seventh Senses won't be that far off!

>>35099143
I didn't expect to survive at one point but still enjoyed it

>>35099186
Well, i am glad, you enjoyed this.Anyhow, the next thread will be either tomorrow or Saturday, depending on how my schedule and stuff.

>>35099324
this was a good fight and something tells me that Kouga is going to end this Arc more or less on the same state that Seiya finishes some of his arcs
also poor Eden

>>35099827
Hehe, well this is still a Saint Seiya Quest, so you can't come out of every fight standing, but don't worry, like Seiya, he will live.

About Eden: Well you gave him the book, so everyone concentrated on him, the poor guy.
