Momonga could not believe his eyes, which bzed brighter in crimson light within the orbital bones of his skull.

  Touch Me had always been a paragon of strength within Ainz Ooal Gown and one of the stro warriors withiire game of Yggdrasil. While some might surpass him in terms of raw damage output or tankiness, in a one on one fight against another pyer, Momonga had never seen him lose before.

  And upon being a World Champion, his invincible status only became more crete.

  He hought he would see a day when Touch Me, the symbol of strength and justi his mind, struggled, even if it was his phantom.

  He couldn’t clearly see Yuuji and Touch Me’s exge of blows with the swords. He was a novice when it es to swordpy, or anything other than magic, as he had ruly focused on it.

  As a magic caster, he would only focus on how to keep his distance when against a warrior or other melee fighter. He knew of their skills and the strategy melee fighters would normally use when against a magic caster. However, he hhly learhe teiques and movements of a swordsman and fighter. After all, if his oppo could rea melee with him, it would be almost impossible for a frail and slow magic caster such as him to avoid them anyway.

  Moreover, Momonga was never one who could learn quickly. Thus, he could only focus on what was truly essential for him and spend his limited time learning it to the best of his abilities.

  But even for a novice like him, he could see that the exge of blows between Yuuji and Touch Me’s phantom were extremely high leveled, at least from what he could catbsp;

  They were moving so quickly that even he, with his enhanced senses upon being Momonga, could barely keep up with.

  Even Lelouch, who was a keener observer, could not keep up with their movements.

  The same, however, could not be said for Albedo and the twin fluardians.

  The twins could see their movements and the g of their swords, and while they were not too knowledgeable in regards to swordsmanship, given one was a ranger and the other a druid, they could still admire the sheer skill in which the two supreme beings dispyed.

  Of course, they did not dare think this was the limit of the greatest supreme being, if he even had one. Yuuji must be holding back quite a bit, just like Lelouch had told them with Aika. And this only further their admiration and awe for the half-angel half-demon supreme being.

  Oher hand, Albedo was truly astounded as she watched the duel before her eyes.

  While she was not on Cocytus’s level in regards to her knowledge about swordsmanship, she was a dark knight who specialized in defensive melee bat and one of the highest leveled warriors within Nazarick. Her keen eyes for battle and knowledge of swordsmanship was one of the greatest amongst the other members of the tomb. And thus, she was the only ohin this arena, aside from Yuuji, who could uand the sheer absurdity of what Yuuji was doing right now…

  Predig every move precisely as if he had seeure, dealing with ead every blow with such precision, speed, and i, and trolling the fight five, six moves ahead.

  Not to mention, she noticed something even more astonishing.

  Ever sihe first blow, Yuuji had been adjusting his strength, l it with each secutive blow until he was more or less equal to the phantom version of the World Champion that should’ve been inparable to him.

  And with his skill with the sword that transded everything, even the great warrior Takemikazuchi…

  ‘How dominating…’

  Albedo thought in a daze as all eyes kept their focus on the cloud of smoke and dirt.

  And in the moment, a shining bright light pierced through the smoke that began to whirl and bloith a sudden powerful gust of whirlwind, revealing the figure of Touch Me with his sword raised into the skies once more.

  But this time, Yuuji noticed that it was not the same skill he had used before, and a smile of excitement appeared on his otherworldly visage.

  “Ah, that’s right… Of course you have that skill as well… This will be fun.”

  Light and energy seemed to be pulled from his entire surroundings and verged, bending spad light around Touch Me’s sword.

  Yuuji stood unmoving, holdi before him in a rexed stanbsp;

  He did not pn on using the active part of [Aegis] to pletely block Touch Me’s ultimate skill…

  He wondered how much damage he could deal against him.

  The brightly shining sword was swung, and along with the wind, it tore down the very fabric of spabsp;

  “World Break!!!”

  With a mighty roar, the phantom unleashed the stro skill that beloo one of the greatest warrior withiirety of Yggdrasil.

  An unavoidable ssh that cut through the very fabric of space. A skill that surpassed even that of the tenth-tier spell “Reality Ssh”.

  A skill that mao create a diagonal cut across the body of the greatest supreme being, along with the very space around him.

  Gasps echoed as Aura, Mare, and Albedo failed to tain their surprise.

  Momonga was simirly shocked, as well as Leloubsp;

  While Aika simply g her hubby as she kept one arm raised before Ulbert, who now kneeled before Aika in absolute reverenbsp;

  “Kuh… That was a nice blow…”

  Yuuji took a step back, his lips curled into a grin. Damages to his clothing were quite astounding, though not to the point that the “auto repair” fun couldn’t amend shortly.

  While the damage to his body was simirly astounding. With the passive skill from his “True Light” job css that granted him passive healing whicreases as his hp drops, the damage was negligible at best, as he would be able to heal it off shortly.

  However, he was still impressed. For a phantom to be able to shave off almost 6% of his total health was quite the feat that only further proved the inal Touch Me’s prowess.

  ‘I really wish I could’ve met the real Touch me and spar against him…’

  He smiled fondly before raising his left hand towards the phantom.

  “ of Oblivion.”

  From the shadows, wisps of darkness ma from beh the phantom. And before it could even realize, jet-bck s shoot out from the ground and around the figure of the jet-bck phantom knight.

  Then, hands… numerous hands cwed out from the darkness, reag out for the light of day and salvation befrasping onto the greaves, torso, and arms of the phantom, and began pulling. Pulling it down bato oblivion of eternal darkness.

  The more Touch Me tried tle, the more powerful the s bound him and the hands pulling him down.

  “Dispel Evil!”

  The holy padin struck down with his sword as light briefly filled the area around him. But, the light soon faded, with the bed s and arms from hell tio bound and cwed onto him.

  It was impossible for a mere phantom padin, even if it was a World Champion, to dispel the spell cast by a true prince of darkness, a World Enemy.

  “Kuh…! Death Ward!”

  A glimmer of excitement fshed within Yuuji’s eyes when he heard the phantom cast that spell.

  [Death Ward]. A retively high tier spell which gras target a means of prote against death itself.

  Upon sufferihal damage, the ward would protect its target from death and leave them with a sliver of health remaining. And if the target was hit by a spell that would cause instah, the effect would be ed.

  It was a literal live saving spell that only pyers with high levels into clerical and priest job csses could gain access to.

  The spell would normally be inaccessible by a padin, such as Touch Me. However, with the divine css item [Ward from Death], he would be able to cast the spell [Death Ward] onto himself once a day.

  It was the item that made the already hard to kill padin nigh-immortal itlefield.

  With the phantom having used the item and cast the spell, Yuuji no longer had to hold back fr out the two things he wao try out.

  Unfortunately, he was currently still within the Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Thus, the high-damaged super tier spell he would’ve loved to try wasn’t something he could cast right here.

  However, there was still a tenth-tier spell that would be fun to try out. And then, he could still test his stro skill as well, sihe phantom would still be alive.

  With his left hand still raised, Yuuji began to cast a spell once more.

  Enormous, bright, white magic circles stacked on top of each other shined and emanated with all colors of the rainboeared in the air above Touch Me.

  And with the utterance of a word, the light of judgment fell.

  “[D?ma](Judgment).”

  A n of searing, brilliant light fell upoiny phantom padin, engulfing its entire figure in blinding light an instant along with the ey of the sixth floor of the underground tomb.

  The earth trembled. The air shook. The darkness disappeared from the world in that instant. And silence filled the air.

  Slowly, the blinding light dissipated, and vision began to return to those caught by the blinding light.

  And as soon as it returhey could see a massive crater and the phantom of Touch Me kneeling at its ter.

  Without even the o use [Life Essence], it arent that the padin was barely ging onto life…

  Seeing the result, Yuuji couldn’t help but smile.

  While the spell wasn’t as powerful as his [Singurity], it was still quite effective and satisfactory for a tenth-tier spell.

  But… There was still one more spell, or rather, skill he’d like to test as effectiveness.

  And thankfully, the phantom had not expired yet.

  Six pure white and golden wings and six jet-bck crimson wings spread open behind him before Yuuji took to the skies.

  “Well the’s try this.”

  Yuuji pointed Est towards the fallen padin below him, and activated the stro skill exclusive to the [Champion of the First Light] css; one of, if not, the most broken offensive csses he received.

  “Disappear… [Rend Space].”

  The figure of the kneeling phantom Touch Me twisted a, causing his figure to seemingly stretto a single tral point as space distorted.

  Then in the instant, the spafurled in a violent tear, ripping the very fabric of space along with the phantom.

  The very space “cracked”, like a broken mirror, before disappearing in the moment. And the phantom dissipated into particles of light.
