Chapter 4: The Duel
Part 8

Sakuya, thinking that Jun could not be trusted, watched the ground before her intently.

Secret techniques could only be used once per hour.

This was a restriction in Sky World. It would still take a long time before Jun could use it again. So, when Sakuya used hers, she was certain that victory was in her hands.

However…

Jun unleashed a second secret technique within that short one-hour time span.

The reason was simple. He had switched weapons to a longspear.

In Sky World, one could assign different settings for each weapon type on the option window. Players keeping convenience in mind took measures to change weapons by using macros.

Jun tapped there.

Originally, each weapon type had its own secret technique.

Greatswords and longspears’ settings would then have to be set with their own secret techniques, so, their cooldowns were separate from each other.

Normally, that wasn’t a cause for concern. Not a lot of people used multiple types of weapons, and usually, it was necessary to open up the tablet window in order to change weapons. The chaos of battle didn’t allow for that.

For that reason, Sakuya was under the impression that, Jun couldn’t have had any more secret techniques.

“I guess I made a mistake.”

Sakuya smiled bitterly. She was a bit upset.

However… that still only evened the playing field.

After she released the flames and rays of intense light of her secret technique, immense energy swirled around in the space between the two of them. Jun, on the other side of the inferno was wounded all over. Sakuya had twice as much HP as he did. Furthermore, she still had more than half of her MP. Even without the secret technique, the odds were in her favor…

Just after thinking that, she realized her mistake.

Jun was a questaholic. In these three months, he had certainly completed the quests on many islands. If he had two secret techniques, then …

“Change. Axe mode!”

Jun’s voice echoed loudly.

Sakuya smiled. She was happy. This was the Jun she was expecting. The boy who always exceeded expectations and shocked everybody, including Sakuya herself. At any given time, Jun was a step ahead of her. He was an irreplaceable friend… one that undermined established customs and thought outside the box.

Sakuya had definitely expected this. Even though Jun had a handicap, he was going to end up winning.

It was a miracle.

He saw it coming. He wanted, with all of his heart, for her to make a mistake with her brashness…

“I’m really an idiot, huh.” She smiled.

As the swirl of flames and light disappeared, she smiled, watching Jun with his eyes fixed onto her. He held in his hands his favorite weapon, a giant axe that he had now switched into.

There were magic swordsmen who preferred axes over greatswords and longspears. Since axes were said to be hard to use, Jun surely shouldn’t have been too good at using them, but…

If he were only using its special attack though, that wouldn’t matter.

“Secret technique, activate!”

Jun lifted his axe towards the sky.

The air whirled around the handle of the axe and the area became enveloped in darkness.

“—— Black Whirlwind Nightmare!”

The jet black whirlwind was getting closer and closer to Sakuya. Though she had prepared a lot, she still couldn’t avoid it playing out this way.

“It’s… my defeat.”

Sakuya lowered her sword and quietly closed her eyes.

She shrieked from the sensation of being chopped up by the wind.
