“[Draw-Slashing Flash]”
“!?”
A devastating draw that flashed in an instant. A massive explosion erupted.
This was absolutely incomparable to before. The moment the prince’s hand wavered slightly, Ashley and dozens of meters behind him were blown to smithereens. An explosive sound echoed through the [Demon Forest].
“Guuuuu!?”
Something pierced through the rising dust clouds. It was Ashley with an agonized expression.
Again he seemed to have nullified the impact, but no. His tailcoat was damaged, and he had clearly taken damage.
What on earth is this…
“——I see! There’s a limit to the ability output that can be nullified!”
“Ah, Sonia-kun.”
Here, the muscular and refreshing Sonia-kun started explaining something.
“Ashley’s Gift [Ash Dust ogre]. He called it ‘an ability that nullifies abilities,’ but the exact conditions for nullification were unknown. But look at Ashley now!”
“U-uh.”
I looked at Ashley who was about to fall to his knees.
If there was any change, it would be that he was slightly injured and…
“The gray radiation light is getting weaker?”
“Yes, correct!!!”
So loud!?
“That radiation light is literally [armor]. It can deflect attacks from abilities, but each time it does, the radiation light [deteriorates]. And if it receives an attack of tremendous output, it can’t process it all and gets penetrated.”
“I see, so it’s not completely invincible against abilities.”
We understood it was an ability with weaknesses.
But the ash armor still remained. To land effective hits, wouldn’t he have to keep making high-output attacks?
That would be tough for Weiss-kun, right?
“Gifts consume stamina and mental energy each time they’re used. So—”
Wouldn’t Weiss-kun, who has to attack first, run out of breath——I thought of saying.
But…
“…No, well, Weiss-kun seems like he’ll be fine.”
“Indeed.”
We looked toward the prince with bitter smiles.
There was an incredible figure whose radiation light hadn’t dimmed in the slightest.
“Next.”
He raised the long sword he had drawn with one hand as if piercing the heavens.
And blue light converged on the sword. A gigantic blade appeared like a tower——
“‘Strain-style Ability Swordsmanship’ Secret Technique—— [Severance-Slashing Brilliant Flash]”
A strike that split Heavenly and earth was unleashed.
The giant light sword swung down magnificently toward Ashley.
The thing over 100 meters long, when it hit the ground, pulverized the earth of the [Demon Forest] with its weight, impact, and massive explosion.
As a result, it created a [ravine] in the forest while raising enormous amounts of dust.
…Wait,
“Waaaait, what are you casually changing the terrain for!? What are you, Weiss-kun!? I mean, sure, I wanted to see your true power and provoked you in various ways, but this is way too dangerous, and Ashley’s definitely dead, and are you really human!?”
“Ah, you’ve returned to your usual self, Reite-jou. You were quite scary until just now. …So this is what it feels like to be scolded by your mother.”
“Who’s a mother!?”
I have no memory of giving birth to a human weapon like you!
Geez, I can hear the screams of magical beasts from all over the [Demon Forest]! Originally, they’re supposed to be the terrifying existences!
“But it’s not over yet.”
“Huh!?”
“I’m still just getting started. After all—”
Weiss-kun glared at the ravine created in the ground. Then, gray light shone from the depths of the abyss.
“That man is still alive.”
In an instant, with a Roa of “Ooooooh——!” a human figure ran up the rock wall and leaped.
It was Ashley. Incredibly, he had survived that attack and landed on the surface again.
“Hah, hah, haah, haaah…!”
The composure from the beginning was completely gone.
His breathing was ragged. He was messed up all over. His expensive tailcoat was now just a tattered rag.
But—

“Weissss…!”
His eyes still weren’t dead.
Showing a vicious smile, he made the gray light surge once more.
“Fuhahahaha! You bastard, if you had that much power, you should have said so!”
“Well, this is the first time I’ve displayed this much power myself. …Ever since I met Reite-jou, my Gift has been performing exceptionally well.”
Not to be outdone by Ashley, Weiss-kun made his blue light surge even more.
Wait, eh!?
“Why has it been performing well since you met me!?”
Weiss-kun’s Gift [Heavenly Tower Snow Extreme] is the power to convert intense emotions into physical abilities, right!?
That means anger and such things!
Ugh, so I’m resented!? Because I’m the villain after all!?
“Let’s settle this.”
Ignoring my anxiety, the duel between the two headed toward its climax.
“Gray light, grant power to my body. [Divine Authority Release-Martyrdom Light Form Overload Alice Sphere]!”
Ashley emitted radiation light so bright it could burn your eyes.
And he took flight.
Despite being human, he leaped over ten meters into the air and landed on top of a large tree in the [Demon Forest].
Furthermore, he kicked off with enough force to gouge the tree and began ultra-high-speed movement from tree to tree——!
Wait—
“Ashley too, what is that!? You’re glowing incredibly while moving incredibly fast!? Wasn’t your ability supposed to be ability-killing!?”
As I made that retort, Sonia-kun shouted “Could that be!?”
Ah, okay, I’ll leave the explanation to you!
“That’s [Divine Authority Release-Martyrdom Light Form Overload Alice Sphere]! By outputting Alice Sphere radiation light at many times the acceleration, it increases the degree of object interference. In that state, he releases it simultaneously with footwork to enhance bodily mobility!”
“I-I see. So it’s like shooting torrents from the soles of his feet?”
“Yes, correct!!!”
So loud!!!
“It’s an advanced fighting technique for ability users that can also be applied to attacks and defense. However, what’s being ejected is equivalent to [blood]. After all, activating Gifts consumes stamina. Excessive ejection of radiation light is the same as spurting blood.”
“What’s with that…”
Isn’t that an insane fighting method? I would absolutely never do that.
But—
“Fuhahahaha! Can you catch me, Weiss!”
…Ashley continued to increase his output.
The speed at which he ran from tree to tree surrounding the prince finally reached a realm where sound lagged behind.
Ashley began to look like dozens of people. Hiii, this will appear in my dreams…!
“The exhaustion must be murderous. But with that mobility, capturing his movement would be extremely difficult. And then, when the prince is confused by that gap, he plans to instantly punch and crush either his neck or heart…!”
“Ugh, is Weiss-kun in danger!?”
Sonia-kun and I swallowed hard and looked at Weiss-kun.
He was surrounded by countless afterimages in the sky above, but——however—
“Useless.”
He showed no sign of being disturbed at all.
He took the sheathing stance again and concentrated all the radiation light overflowing from his body into the scabbard.
And then—
“‘Strain-style Ability Swordsmanship’ Secret Technique—— [Annihilation-Slashing Brilliant Chaos Flash]”
Sixteen streaks of light slashes were unleashed.
Destructive light that scattered like chaotic reflections completely obliterated all the surrounding trees——!
“What the hell!?”
Even Ashley let out a scream-like voice at this.
The sixteen consecutive destruction lights scored a direct hit on him as well, severely damaging the “Ability Killer Armor” that covered his body.
Furthermore, with the trees he was supposed to jump to now vaporized, he became defenseless in mid-air…!
“[Annihilation-Slashing Brilliant Chaos Flash]. It’s a secret technique that causes small explosions between the sheath and guard repeatedly, unleashing [Slashing Brilliant Flash] in succession. Well, it’s a technique that consumes both stamina and the sword’s durability.”
The Snow White Prince spoke quietly.
He sheathed his cracked blade and took the iaido stance once more.
And then.
“However——I still have enough strength left to settle this.”
“Ghhh!?”
Now, the Cinderella butler was simply falling.
There was no way he could avoid the next strike,
“‘Strain-Style Ability Swordsmanship’ Secret Technique—— [Drawing Sword-Slashing Brilliant Flash]”
The final radiant aurora of destruction. A blizzard of atomic collapse light dancing in the sword flash.
The Prince’s “sole strength” caused a massive explosion that consumed both Ashley and the [Demon Forest].
