It’s been said that famous devils and grim reapers ride on it. It’s also said that it’s a horse which brings death and destruction. It’s not an easy task to master riding on it. It has a violent nature. It's said that it will kick to death those it doesn’t like, including its master.] Sensei, thanks for the explanation! [My favourite horse, Altobrau’s legs are god-speed. Kiba-dono. I wish for a serious fight with you.] Furcas was already in a battle position. Sensei has already told us about the dangers of that horse. More importantly, if its combination with the rider is superb, it's said that the Pale horse’s ability can be drawn up to the max! The arbiter appears on the field through a magic-circle, and he stands between the two combatants. “The first match, starts now!”
Both of them took a distance when the signal was given. It started! The Rating Game against Bael has started! The one who will be doing the opening match is Kiba! Show them what you've got, Kibaaaaaa! [I challenge you! Let us see if the speed of Altobrau and I can match you!] They disappeared when the blue horse made a cry! [-Fast!] I had the same response as Kiba! Since I train while having Kiba as my opponent, my eyes are used to fast speed. Even still, I thought they were fast. That’s how superb their starting dash was. Kiba uses his eyes…..no. He takes a stance as if he is trying to feel the presence of his enemy. Then…
GIIIIN! GUUN! The sound of the metal colliding echoes. Kiba didn’t move from the spot, but he is warding off the attacks coming in fast speed. He took a distance, and he went towards the enemy with fast speed after feeling the presence of the enemy for quite some time. GIIIIN! GUUN! Both of them are in a state where it only looks like two moving things are colliding at very fast speeds. The things which become visible on the field are the sparks created when the weapons collide and the sounds of metal colliding. There are deep holes created in the field due to the waves created by several swords and the charging of the lance. ……..I can only see them when they collide against each other. That’s it. That’s how fast Kiba and that knight are! Both of them finally show themselves when they are using the lance and swords to push against each other. [A draw even against the legs of my Altobrau…… You are truly frightening indeed, Princess Rias’s Knight!] Furcas laughs fearlessly. [You also have an excellent combination with your horse. If I were to try to cut the horse down, your lance will stop me and even if I try to take you down, the horse won’t allow it. Seems like I have to destroy your foot path!] Kiba who said that forms an aura around his body, and he made his eyes sharper. That instant, many holy-demonic sword blades appear from the earth surrounding Kiba! The swords of flowers blossomed in the field! Maybe he will be able to stop Furcas’s horse with this! I became overjoyed, but….. Furcas’s horse jumps up high! --! That horse can run in mid air!? But Kiba swings his holy-demonic sword down without giving a moment to spare! [Holy-demonic sword of Thunder!] FLASH! The sky flashed, and thunder comes down towards Furcas! The thunder taught directly by Akeno-san! It isn’t as strong as Akeno-san’s, but Kiba is still able to create thunder. [Not enough!] Furcas threw his lance up towards the sky, and he survived the thunder by using the lance as a lightning rod. Furcas who has lost his weapon puts his hand inside the mane of his horse which is made of fire. It seems like he is trying to take something out of it. The mane creates a swine in the atmosphere. It seems like that mane is connected to a different dimension. What he got from the mane was a second lance. So he still had a lance huh….. They have researched Kiba very well. He warded off all of Kiba’s attacks! Kiba’s sword is the holy-demonic sword. It has the attribute of holy. Devils aren't able to evade the fate of receiving heavy damage if they get cut with it. Because of that, not being hit by the holy-demonic sword is a must for opponents in order to win. It’s easier said than done. To be able to pull that off without a scratch while having Kiba as his opponent means that our opponent is quite formidable. It’s a common situation, that the enemy is slain when Kiba makes his move. But that hasn’t happened yet. Sairaorg-san’s first servant sent. His first servant is this strong huh. [Even if your holy-demonic sword has a deadly effect on devils….!] Furcas makes a stance. He’s trying to do something! [It won’t mean a thing if it doesn’t hit!] At the same time as he jumped……..many duplicates of Furcas and his horse were created! So it’s a phantom or a clone huh! Having several Furcas duplicates in front of him, Kiba……..has his swords stiff, and his face looks stern. -! Don’t tell me he can’t tell which one is the real thing!? If even Kiba can’t tell them apart, then it means that the phantoms have the same presence as the real thing! Several Furcases move randomly in fast speed, and they start attacking Kiba. At the beginning, he fended off the attacks with his swords, but Kiba receives damage which comes from all direction! [Ku!] Kiba created a second holy-demonic sword, and he creates a huge aura with the two swords. The surrounding grasses are blown away by it, but Furcas dodges it and takes a distance. That move was originally meant to make Furcas step back. Furcas returns back to only himself after making the phantoms vanish. Kiba took a breath, and put on a fearless smile. […..I didn’t want to show my trump card from the beginning,,,,,,,, But it looks like I will lose more stamina if I continue to hold back. I am in no position to say things to Xenovia.] Kiba says that as if he’s talking to himself. ……Is he planning to use that already? No, this might be the best time to use it. For Kiba who has less stamina than me, fighting much longer would affect his legs for future matches. Kiba made the holy-demonic sword vanish, and created a holy-sword within his hand. So he is planning on using that! I confirmed my guess after seeing that. Kiba declares very boldly. [I am stronger than you. This match, I will eventually grasp your movement. But for that, I would consume a lot of stamina. Thinking about later fights, it’s better to take you down in a blitz.] Hearing Kiba’s declaration, Furcas smirks. [Looks like you are confident in yourself. Certainly your talent will eventually surpass me and Altobrau. But I won’t go down just like that! For the later matches, I will cut one of your limbs to take your stamina away!] Such amazing determination. He’s planning to grind down our man power as much as possible. [Yes. That’s why you are scary. There isn’t anything scarier than an opponent who is resolved. I’m……thinking of showing my other possibility.] Kiba makes a stance with his holy-sword and mutters quietly. [--Balance-Break.]
