"A... game?"
At Escanor’s words, Doma looked flustered. A game, out of nowhere? As he stared at Escanor in confusion, Escanor only wore a faint smile.
"It is nothing more than a simple game. The [Galan Game]."
The [Galan Game].
It was the game Escanor had once played in his former life with Galan, one of the Ten Commandments, the man known as Galan of Truth.
"I’ll explain the rules myself, so listen carefully and be grateful. The [Galan Game] is one where the two sides take turns attacking each other..."
"It’s a one-on-one deathmatch."
A deathmatch.
In other words, a game that does not end until one side is dead.
"....Hahaha..."
Doma realized it then. This man... had no intention of letting him live, did he?
"If you choose to play this game, I’ll give you the first chance to attack me. On the other hand, if you refuse..."
Escanor raised one finger. For a moment, it felt as though the moon hanging in the sky had turned into the sun.
"You will not leave here alive."
"...I’ll do it..."
At Doma’s answer, Escanor smiled.
"A wise choice."
With that, Escanor drove the axe in his hand into the ground.
KWAANG!!
Crack...
It looked like he had barely put any force into it, but the earth split apart.
"......"
"I’ll give you time. Reattach your body right now."
"Y-Yes, sir!"
After answering, Doma gathered every last bit of strength he had left and boosted his regeneration. Fortunately, he succeeded in reconnecting his upper and lower body.
"Oh. Your regeneration is indeed impressive. Then, as promised..."
Escanor looked down at Doma as if to say, Go on then.
'...This is even better.'
Doma thought of it as an opportunity. If it came to this, he would freeze that man solid with everything he had.
"Heh... heh heh... This..."
"?"
Doma let out an unpleasant laugh.
"You’ll regret giving me a chance!"
[Blood Demon Art].
Crack, crack, crack...
[Crystal Child].
Using his fan, Doma created five ice clones that looked just like him.
"Oh? So now we’re playing with dolls?"
"I’ll wipe that arrogant tone off your face!"
[Multiple Blood Demon Art].
Crack, crack, crack...
[Mist Ice Lotus Bodhisattva].
Doma and the clones he created caused a total of six enormous ice statues to rise from the ground, surrounding Escanor.
"Hmm..."
Escanor watched Doma’s actions without saying a word.
Snap...
"You’ve managed to anger me this much..."
Doma answered with a deeply grotesque smile.
"I’ll kill you and save you!"
The giant ice bodhisattvas raised their hands high and simultaneously blasted out fierce cold from their mouths.
"...?"
Because of that, even Escanor’s feet began to freeze.
KWAANG!! KWAANG!! KWAANGKWAANG!!!!!
The ice bodhisattvas’ palms crashed down on Escanor. With a deafening roar, the ground caved in, and Escanor was completely crushed beneath them.
Crack...
"Hm...?"
KWAAAANG!!!
He should have been crushed.
"....Haa....."
Escanor shattered the ice bodhisattvas and Doma’s clones all at once with a single punch.
"Is that your full power?"
"....Impossible...."
Doma could not believe it. No, he did not want to believe it.
"Then it’s my turn now."
"!!!"
Escanor planted one fist on the ground and dropped to one knee, then raised his axe high overhead.
Rumble...
Behind the axe, a massive sun appeared, and at the same time Escanor’s figure seemed to grow even larger.
"......"
Doma felt as if he had become nothing more than a tiny, helpless insect.
"Then... farewell."
SHWOOOSH!
...
...
...
KWAAAAAAAANG!!!!!
With a tremendous explosion, every house nearby was blown away without leaving even rubble behind.
"Well, well... I thought I’d finally found a proper opponent after so long."
In front of Escanor stood Doma, completely crushed, with every part of his body gradually fading away.
"Game over, then."
