Subaru:  His hostility had grown to its limit. And yet, his face was in tears, like a child throwing a tantrum. He aimed at the tip of Garfiel’s chin. That’s enough, he knew—not with words, but with his heart. —And then he pounded that spot with all his strength.

Garfiel:  “? !”

Subaru:  The power he released exulted with joy, striking the unwary Garfiel directly below its unseen form. The invisible blow took the form of a fist, smashing into Garfiel’s face and driving him toward the sky.

Garfiel:  “Gu, oh…!”

Subaru:  The moment after seeing it through, Subaru, too, went down on one knee. He violently retched from the sense that he had shed something from inside him, with agony as if his very soul had been whittled. Not a single drop of spit or blood came out. That one blow had truly taken everything out of him. This time, even that stubborn Garfiel—

Garfiel:  “Hey, hey, you gotta be kidding me…” He was sure he saw Garfiel fly skyward, with nothing to break his fall as he was slammed into the ground. Covered in wounds that were mostly there before clashing with Subaru, he’d endured a string of battles without any rest. On top of that, there was a spirit in his right shoulder sucking his mana right out of him.

Garfiel:  “Just how tough are you…?”

Subaru:  “Don’t…look down…on me…me, I h-haven’t broken…yet…”

Garfiel:  His fuzzy head was swaying, but even so, Garfiel was standing on his own two feet. His gaze was unfocused. But he stood out of pure tenacity, rejecting Subaru’s final push.

Subaru:  “Hah. Well, this sucks… Having come this far, I’ve got to face facts.” Subaru had exhausted all his schemes, played his one trump card, and even used a hidden trick that had suddenly sprouted up. Even with Otto and Ram’s valiant fighting, Puck’s assistance, and all the rest, he had still been unable to defeat Garfiel. Garfiel was strong. Even when he was weak, he was strong. This Subaru acknowledged from the bottom of his heart. That was why—

Subaru:  “Now, no one else’ll…!” With wobbly footsteps, Garfiel walked forward as Subaru rested on his knees. Garfiel was at his limit, but so was Subaru. His consciousness probably could not sustain even one blow, no matter how little strength was behind it. Accordingly, Garfiel poured his entire nervous system into his claws, intent on beating Subaru with them. That was why Garfiel never noticed the approaching sound or the shaking of the ground. —The final blow that would drive Garfiel to defeat.

Garfiel:  “This…is the…end for…yaaaah? !”

?:  “—!! !” His announcement of the final blow was blotted out by the piercing neigh of a slender and tall land dragon. Shaking the ground, the charging, jet-black land dragon heartily slammed into Garfiel, sending him hurtling into the air.

Garfiel:  “—Goeh? !” The blow, which carried his entire body away, made Garfiel’s eyes roll back, his body thrust away as if he weighed no more than a pebble.
