As Yuki continued his barrage of continuous attacks, Martyn grew bored of being on the defensive. Martyn blocked both of Yuki's blades at once before pushing him back. Yuki's arms spread open from the push back of Martyn's sword. Seeing the opening, Martyn clenched his right arm and punched Yuki in the nose. Blood began to flow out of Yuki's nose like a water tap.

Yuki instantly fell to the floor. He was unable to see clearly, let alone think of a plan to win the battle.

"Well, I can always use the potions in my inventory," Yuki thought to himself.

All the while, Martyn began to walk towards the immobilized body of Yuki Kaito lying on the stage floor. His sword dragging on the floor, Martyn deemed the battle to be over. All that was left was to plunge his blade into the heart of his enemy.

"I hate this feeling. I can either call for Zero, drink potions, or ask the dungeon to let me exit. All of them force me to rely on others. I hate feeling helpless, it's always better to do things on your own. That was why Meurig left. If I hadn't relied on him so much, maybe he would've stayed," Yuki sighed as he continued to think.

Yuki grunted as he stood up. His legs wobbled because of how much blood he had lost. Even he didn't fully know what he was going to do next.

"Why do you insist on continuing this battle? Even if your fighting technique is phenomenal, there's only so much technique can make up for. The difference in our strengths is just too great. Just accept your defeat and die with honour," said Martyn.

Yuki began to laugh hysterically.

"You're kidding right? Why in the world would I work so hard to clear all the previous stages so I could die like a moron here. I don't know what people like you see in dying with honour. Is your pride that far gone that you would rather give up your own life to please others? A warrior's honour is utter garbage, it's just an excuse the weak make for their defeat," Yuki explained.

"I don't care if I lose a couple of limbs, I have to find some way to win this without relying on anyone or anything. I can't allow morons like him to continue living," Yuki thought to himself.

Yuki steadied himself before charging towards his enemy once more. Using "Fallen angel of hell" as a decoy, Yuki specifically aimed for Martyn's blade. Now that both blades were in a stand still, Yuki spun "Niflheim's holy treasure" around so it would face the side of Martyn's abdominal area. In his last attempt to finish off the battle, Yuki sunk "Niflheim's holy treasure" into Martyn's body.

Once he had accomplished that, Yuki gave a grin of utter joy as he body began to collapse and fall to the ground, all that was in his hand was "Niflheim's holy treasure". Just when Martyn began to let his guard down from seeing the helpless body of his enemy, Yuki began to pump as much stamina as he could into his blade. Due to the sudden influx of power Yuki received when he reached level 10, Yuki was able to create sharp ice shards without having to consume stamina boost potions.

As the ice shards continued to destroy Martyn's body from the inside, the demon spewed blood from his mouth.

"Quite a clever plan," Martyn said before kicking Yuki in the air.

Yuki was barely conscious at this point which caused him to lose grip of both his treasured blades.

"This sucks. Why am I so weak? I gave everything I had into my attacks. So why?... WHY CAN I WIN?" Yuki said out loud.

For the first time in a while, Yuki's eyes began to tear up. They weren't tears of pain. All they were was a symbol of sadness which he felt for himself.

"I thought I was strong. I thought I could finally stop feeling weak. I thought I didn't have to be looked down upon anymore," Yuki thought to himself.

All while he had his inner monologue, Martyn continued to walk slowly towards him.

"I already told you this. You can't make up for the difference in strength with simple techniques. Submit now, the battle was already over before it even started," said Martyn.

"You know... I seriously hate people like you. Why are you so self absorbed? I can literally drink a few magical random items and shatter your skull in a matter of moments," said Yuki as he laid on the ground.

"Feel free to do whatever you think will allow you to survive. Under any circumstances, I will always be stronger than you," Martyn replied.

"You know what, sure. I'm tired of seeing if I could survive on my own. I ADMIT IT, I AM WEAK. I DO NEED POTIONS AND ZERO TO SURVIVE. YES I WILL USE THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE I HAVE OVER EVERYONE ELSE," Yuki yelled out.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out a full status recovery potion, 3 speed boost potions and 5 attack boost potions. That was his usual potion set up. He would first replenish all his stats until he was back to normal, Next he would increase his speed and attack only. He ignored his defense because he didn't plan on taking any more attacks from his enemy. It would just be a one sided massacre.

Yuki opened the capsule lid of the full status recovery potion first and drank it as if he hadn't drank water for a whole month. The lime green liquid inside was gone in a matter of seconds. Yuki next stood up from the ground and drank the rest of the potions he pulled out from his inventory.

"Should I go retrieve my swords?" Yuki thought about running behind Martyn and grabbing hold of his treasured swords so the match would end faster.

"That doesn't sound like it would be fun," Yuki scratched that idea.

Yuki charged at Martyn at insane levels of speeds. Before Martyn could even react. Yuki laid his left hand on Martyn's shoulder.

"It's okay. You can relax. This will be over soon enough," Yuki whispered in Martyn's ear before finally reaching for Martyn's sword with his right hand and breaking it with his bare fingertips into many pieces.
