The Apostle of the Goddess of Fertility

Clash!

The clash of metal against metal. 

Sword against sword. 

Light against darkness. 

I'd lost the first battle, badly. 

I'd lost the second one but- I also won. And I lost something very dear to me. 

But they always did say- third time's a charm. 

Clang!

The emperor was good but not good enough. 

And as I started Imbuition, things didn't seem that great for him.

"How can you move so fast? Was that time not your peak?" the emperor couldn't believe what he saw. "And I destroyed that sword!"

Well, he certainly wasn't in a good mood. 

"Who knows." I shoved him back with my sword. 

Was this really the same guy?

He seemed kind of different. 

Or had I changed too much?

His swordplay was kind of heavy but- it didn't matter. 

I didn't let him do anything- actually I just forced him to defend.

Swing after swing, he just defended. 

I was relentless.
