Zorai's strength was so strong that even before his blade slashed into Ogata's face, Ogata could already hear the piercing sound of the wind breaking as the blade cut through the air, and felt the wind pressure on his cheeks.

Not to the point where he had to take the knife, Ogata stagged his feet and dodged Zorai's slash while using a cushion step to dodge Zorai's slash, and dodged to Zorai's left.

Ogata first used the climb to the stairs and slashed at Zorai's chest from the bottom up.

After completing the vertical slash on Zorai's chest and slashing the blade above Zorai, he turned the knife in his hand and replaced the blade that was originally rushing down with a rush, and then aimed at the same position and used the water fall!

The Mamiya and Zorai's subordinates, who were watching the battle, only saw the sword in Ogata's hand turn into a silver-white light, flashing twice in front of Zorai's chest, first from the bottom up, and then from the top down, slashing a little spark.

However, Ogata's two combos didn't do much damage to Zorai.

After all, Zorai was wearing thick armor, and Ogata's two knives only succeeded in cutting 2 white marks on Zorai's breastplate.

Not only did it fail to inflict any trauma on Zorai, but the knife in Ogata's hand had two more gaps.

However, Ogata didn't care about this, he didn't expect him to be able to do any effective damage to the iron-clad Zorei with the broken knife in his hand.

Zorai, who had been stabbed twice in the chest, looked annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing iron armor with good protection, he would have died from the two swords Ogata had just given in this round of back-and-forth competitions.

With a roar and a realignment, Zorai rounded the knife in his hand and slashed horizontally towards Ogata.

But this time, Ogata didn't use a cushion to dodge.

Instead, he chose to eat Zorai's slash.

Zorai's knife slashed horizontally towards Ogata from left to right.

Without any fear, Ogata raised the knife in his hand to his left side and used his blade back to hold Zorai's knife.

Sparks flashed, and a wide gap opened in the blades of both Ogata and Zorai's blades.

After the two men's knives collided together, they quickly separated.

Taking a step back and widening the distance between him and Ogata slightly, Zorai lowered his body's center of gravity, and at the same time turned the knife in his hand, flattening the blade and aiming the tip at Ogata, and then unleashed a sharp straight stab towards Ogata's chest.

Looking at the rapidly enlarging tip of the knife in his field of vision, Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly.

He keenly noticed that because Zorai's straight stab was used after lowering the center of gravity of his body, Zorai's knife was now at a very low height!

Make a mistake and turn your body to one side.

While dodging to the left and dodging Zorai's stab, Ogata spotted the direction of Zorai's knife and raised his right foot high!

Boom!

With a small muffled sound, Ogata's right foot stepped on the tip of Zorai's striking knife that had stabbed forward before he could retract the stabbing knife.

The tip of the knife slammed on the ground with his right foot, and there was a small muffled sound.

After stepping on the tip of the knife with his right foot, Ogata immediately raised his left foot and stepped on the blade of Zorai's knife.

Ogata's current state is that the whole person is standing on Zorai's sword.

The reason why Ogata wants to stand on Zorai's knife is not to play juggling.

Rather, it was to make it easier to take Zorai's head.

After stepping on Zorai's knife, Zorai's face was now a stone's throw away from Ogata.

Without any hesitation, Ogata quickly tightened his grip on the knife in his hand and aimed the tip of the knife at Zorai's face......

However—before Ogata could use their Sakakibara stabbing technique, Zorai, let out a roar.

Feeling the danger coming, under the effect of the desire to survive, his body suddenly burst out with a powerful force, and this power poured into his arms, and Zorai let out a roar of rage while slamming the clenched knife upwards!

Ogata, who stepped on the back of Zorai's sword, suddenly felt that his footing became unstable.

Ogata, who never expected Zoray to suddenly burst out with such a strong force, immediately gave up the attack on Zorai, jumped backwards, jumped away from the back of the knife that could no longer stand, jumped back to the ground, and redistanced himself from Zorai.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Zorei gasped, clenched the knife in his hand again, and set himself up.

Compared to Zorai, who has begun to gasp for breath, Ogata is still in a state of ease.

After glancing at Zora in front of him with a calm gaze that made it difficult to figure out what he was thinking, Ogata slowly withdrew the knife in his hand into its scabbard.

Then put your legs apart, lower your weight of weight, turn your body slightly to the left, hold the sheath with your left hand, and place your right hand naturally on the hilt.

Looking at Ogata's posture, Mamiya, who had been standing not far behind Ogata, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strong look of interest appeared on his face.

As for Zorai, his face is now solemn, looking at Ogata who has put on this posture, Zorai said in a deep voice:

"Knife Drawing ......"

"Are you interested in coming and picking me up for a knife drawing technique?" Ogata asked rhetorically at Zorai in a half-joking tone.

“…… Good! ”

Zorai slowly raised the knife in his hand and switched to an upper stance.

"I want to see the power of the executioner's sword drawing technique that has killed countless people!"

As soon as the words fell, Zorai shouted and pounced on Ogata!

After Ogata was already in his range, Zorai threw his arms downward, and the knife in his hand immediately turned into a silver-white whip of light and flung it towards Ogata.

Since Zorai rushed towards him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Zorai's every movement.

After Zoray slashed his sword, Ogata's eyes widened slightly! Dao essence light burst out from his pupils.

Gripping the hilt of the knife with the right hand and pulling the knife out of the sheath – these two movements occur almost simultaneously.

Ogata's knife that popped out of his sheath swept towards the "light whip" thrown at Zoray from the bottom up!

Clang!!

The deafening sound of gold and iron clashing exploded.

Their knives slammed into each other in mid-air.

Looking at Ogata's sword drawing technique, Mamiya, who was standing behind Ogata, muttered:

"It's Rachel...... Has Ogata-kun even mastered Rachel, who has no self and two swords......"

The matchup didn't last long.

The next moment when the two swords collided in mid-air, the outcome was clear - Zorai's knife was directly bounced off.

As the knife bounced off, Zorei held the knife and leaned back in disbelief.

Zorei is now wide open and flawed!

Naturally, Ogata couldn't let go of this great opportunity to decide the winner completely.
