Saint Seiya

"That's right, in general, they are comparable. However, Seiya's fist is too orthodox to attack, and Zilong's holy robe is his decisive nemesis. If there is no other means, I am afraid that even Seiya will be able to do it. Get beaten to death."

"You think Seiya will lose?"

"No, Seiya will win"

Yusei, who suddenly changed the atmosphere, looked at Seiya in the arena, his eyes fixed on him.

"If the method I taught him last night can be used smoothly, there is a good chance of winning."

In the end, Yuxing still prefers Seiya, and he will do it to stand on Seiya's side.

Saori smiled, thinking that he really took good care of his friends.

◇◇◇

On the field, the two immediately launched an offensive and defensive battle shortly after the start of the game.

Seiya kicked him first, but was dodged by Zilong by flipping forward. Seiya chased after him and punched twice, but Zilong avoided it, and Zilong hit Seiya with a backhand.

However, Seiya, who jumped and flashed, kicked Shiryu with his foot in the air. Unable to dodge, he blocked it with the shield on his left hand. After Seiya landed, he calmly watched Zilong's movements.

(My body is lighter than I imagined. As long as I stay calm, my mood can go back to the way I did last night.)

Seiya thought so in his heart, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

Zilong gathered all his strength and charged towards him.

First, watching Seiya's movements, he approached with minimal steps, and then he waved his fist.

- Zilong's right hand has the power of the "strongest fist".

Looking at Zilong's actions, Seiya's eyes widened, remembering what Yuxing had said last night.

When his punch came, Seiya had already waved his hands lightly, took a step with his left foot, and stepped back with his right foot. His body turned to one side, his hands on his waving right hand.

He turned his right foot and pushed Zilong's right fist away at the same time, causing his body to involuntarily be shifted to the right direction.

"what!?"

The strength of the punch he threw was dissolved in an instant, and on the contrary, he was taken out, and Zilong's right fist hit the ground of the ring.

"Bang" a hole was punched.

"This... what's going on here?"

The bronzes watching from the audience were completely surprised by Seiya's bizarre trick.

"I don't know. But Seiya must have done something just now, or used a very special method."

This is the ice river, and he calmly analyzed the stunt Seiya showed in an instant.

"Zilong, I'm very taboo with your dragon's right fist, you won't be hit so easily!"

Seiya looked at Zilong who was kneeling on the ground and pulled his right hand from the ground of the ring.

"…"

Although he was surprised that he avoided it, Zilong stood up immediately, not in a hurry or losing his composure at all.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a familiar figure.

"Purple Dragon!"

A girl's voice sounded, which he knew.

"Chunli?!"

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, a black-haired girl in a wine-red Chinese dress with pigtails was looking at him with worried eyes.

"Purple Dragon"

The girl spoke softly.

"Chun Li? Why is Chun Li here?"

Even if he has doubts in his heart, he doesn't understand why?

The girl named Chunli ran over, Zilong looked at her and walked in. Not out of the ring, just close to the side of the rope.

Being distracted in the battle was originally fatal, and the battle of the Saint Seiya can be decided in an instant. But Seiya did not attack at this time, and he felt that it was not very honorable.

"Chunli, why are you here?"

"The teacher is sick"

The girl named Chunli replied, and Zilong was struck by lightning.

"What? Teacher?"

Thinking of all the practices he had cultivated beside his teacher in the past, a wave of sadness surged up.

(My great teacher, he...)

"Okay, Chunli, I'll go right away!"

Zilong couldn't wait to leave now, he seemed to ignore Seiya a bit when he said this, and looked at him behind him.

"Chun Li, wait a moment. Just a few seconds..."

Turning to look at Chun Li, even Seiya frowned at Zilong's unexpected words.

"Okay? Did you make a promise like that?"

Seiya felt that Zilong was underestimating him.

"Hmph, don't worry, you won't be able to stand up with the next blow!"

"what?!"

"Because this is the "biggest mystery" of the Dragon zodiac that was taught to me by the teacher of China's Wu Laofeng"

"The biggest mystery of the Dragon constellation?"

Squinting his eyes, Seiya looked at each other seriously.

Zilong waved his hand, as if a giant dragon slipped past him and flew straight into the sky.

"Lushan Shenglongba—"

Zilong shouted and punched Seiya under the forehead.

"Wow ah ah ah-"

Seiya flew up, as if being bitten by a dragon, and then fell down, blood flowing.

The audience cried out in shock.

"What a trick this is!"

Under the stage, the young girl wearing a pink holy robe opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at Zilong's unprecedented punch, startled.

Even Xie Wu and the boy in the green holy robe next to him did the same.

Zilong walked to the edge of the ring and stopped looking at Seiya.

"Then Chun Li, let's go"

Think you've won like this.

"Zilong, not yet..."

Chun Li pointed forward, which surprised Zilong, and Seiya stood up as if unharmed.

"Impossible, you can still stand up under the frontal attack of the 'Shanglongba'! Is this guy immortal?"

The most shocked must be Zilong, who thought he could win immediately.

"I...I also have a reason why I can't be easily defeated!"

Said Seiya who stood up. The thirteen stars of Pegasus were carved with both hands, and the small universe poured out of the whole body, making Zilong have to beware.

"Zilong, you should try 'Pegasus Meteor Fist' too."

Seiya rushed up.

"Pegasus Meteor Fist-"

With the punch, the sonic meteor light flew away.

Zilong blocked all the shields on his left hand, and Seiya's meteor fists all hit his shield, and they were all blocked by him, and the shield was not broken.

(...More than 100 punches, but not even a crack? That shield is indeed like what Yusei said!)

I was warned by Yusei last night, and now Seiya, who has seen it with his own eyes, has no choice but to be shocked.

"Is that so? Is that the rumoured hardest Dragon Shield?"

"In front of that shield, Seiya is definitely going to be defeated!"

The Saint Seiya in the audience explained in an objective tone.

Seiya followed and swung the "Meteor Fist" again, but was still blocked by the shield. Now he has completely believed it.

"Don't you understand? Seiya, the shield on my left wrist is different from the other holy clothes. The place where I was sent to become a saint is the Wu Lao Peak of Mount Lu in China, known as the "Legend of the Dragon God". The great waterfall on the peak is said to have been formed by stardust from the ancient Milky Way falling from the sky into this earth. Far below the great waterfall, the holy garment of the Draco constellation sleeps."

"…"

"It is known as the 'incarnation of the dragon'. It has continuously penetrated into the water of the galaxy for a long time, and has a brilliance and strength that surpasses that of diamonds. Do you understand? Seiya, to defeat my purple dragon, first of all, we can only smash this shield and nothing else. of!"

Zilong is full of confidence in the power of the holy garment.

"But, Zilong. It's not like there's no way to deal with your shield. I've heard that Draco is a holy garment with the strongest shield and the strongest fist!"

Seiya only heard that from Yusei last night. His expression is a little smiling now, and he obviously has the means to deal with it.

"Could it be... the right fist of the Dragon constellation is also the strongest fist?"

Xie Wu in the audience changed his face when he heard Seiya's words.

"It's like that"

The other person also defaulted.

"Wait and see, Zilong. I will destroy your strongest two in an instant!"

Seiya suddenly spoke up.

"what!"

Zilong's eyes widened, wondering if this guy is serious?

"Impossible, does that guy want to die?"

"There is no chance of winning against the strongest fist and shield."

Xie Wu thinks that Seiya is completely beyond his own power. Of course, he can only see this in his eyes.

"No, there is another way"

Glacier, standing behind them, suddenly spoke.

"what?"

The three of them turned to look at him, startled.

"It seems that Seiya has already known about the Purple Dragon Saint Cloth from the very beginning, in other words, he already had a plan to deal with it!"

Binghe's words were completely right, Seiya really gave people this feeling, so that all three's eyes moved back to the ring.

"It's coming, Zilong!"

"Come on, Seiya!"

Seiya rushed forward, facing the power of Zilong's right fist, he didn't care at all. Rather, that's the key. Those present only saw Seiya throwing his right fist and Zilong resisting the scene with his shield.

The next instant, when they noticed it, Zilong's fist and shield were shattered.

But the strange thing is that Seiya has nothing to do, and he is still uninjured.

There was a loud noise in the arena, and they had no idea what was going on. At this time, the crystal screen in the stadium will replay what happened just now.

Seeing that Seiya's fist was blocked by Zilong's shield, Zilong backhanded his right fist and hit Seiya's body.

Seiya stepped back and drew a circle with his left hand. When Zilong's punch came, he caught it in a strange way. Following Zilong's hand, he did not obey his orders and changed direction without authorization.

This is the same as the situation at the beginning of the game. Seiya still uses that method. While holding Zilong's fist, he gently turns and pushes out. As if using strength to fight, he easily removed his hand.

As a result, Zilong's right fist hit his shield, and both were shattered.

That's right, it's like a Chinese "spear and shield" story.

The strongest shield that no spear can pierce, the strongest spear that can be pierced by any shield, what will happen if the two strongest collide with each other? The answer is this.

However, Seiya's method is rather strange. Because this is a kind of Chinese martial arts, as a Japanese, Seiya, whose training place is still in Greece, should not know this method.

Zilong had already seen that he had heard it before, but none of the people present understood it.

No, except for one person.

"Is that the secret strategy you taught Seiya?"

On the stage, Saori, who was watching, suddenly asked Yusei that.

"I didn't improve his strength, I just set a little example for him. Whether he can learn or not depends on his own talent. After all, he only has one hour. If he can't do it, it's over."

Although Yu Xing said that, his face was obviously very happy.

"But Seiya didn't do it?"

Saori was thinking that your hard work was not in vain after all.

"In my opinion, it's still far from enough, but I can't say anything with only one hour. Seiya's technique of leveraging strength can only be used in this form, and a stronger opponent is probably It doesn't work the second time."

To Yuxing, the talent that Seiya has shown has already made him very agree with him. As long as he slowly cultivates it, he will be able to form a fairly good combat power before attacking the Sanctuary. He thinks so.

The battle in the arena continued, and Zilong said to Chunli, "It will take longer." Then, he discarded all the holy clothes on his body except for the feet, and the upper body became naked.

"It's beautiful, Seiya. I didn't expect you to be able to do this. To be honest, I'm really surprised."

"As I said before, there's a reason why you can't lose."

Seiya stood opposite him.

"Now that both the fist and the shield have been smashed, the holy clothes are useless to me. Seiya, at least I will use this living body to bury you in the end."

The "burial" mentioned here is just a rhetorical device, not really to kill the other party, but to defeat the other party's words.

"Okay, if you wear the holy clothes like this, you will win, and it will be no fun after that!"

Seiya also discarded all the holy clothes on his body.

"This way the two sides are equal."

Seeing this scene, everyone present and the Saint Seiya felt too stupid.

"Seiya, Zilong!"

The boy in the pink holy robe was the first to run up to dissuade him.

"The holy garment is to protect one's body, that is, the armor. If you take it off, it's like jumping into the fire naked. Although the attack power of a saint is superhuman, the body is only human. With such superhuman destruction If you fight with your naked body..."

"Don't worry about it, Shun. The only fate left for the two of them is 'death'."

In the back, Xie Wu advised him not to do more meaningless things.

The young man named Shun had no choice but to give up, since this was not something he could intervene in. It is up to them to listen to persuasion or not.

Seiya and Zilong still did not stop, this fighting spirit is surprising.

(But...but, why did the two of them get to this point?)

And Binghe, who didn't understand the reason the most, thought so in his heart. Because this is just a competition, not a battle with lives on the line, despite this, the fighting spirit of the two of them is still burning vigorously.

Not for fame or anything.

◇◇◇

"Because they are men!"

Yusei, who was watching from the stage, answered Saori's words like this. Saori also had the same thoughts as the Saint Seiya and asked why.

"That's right, reputation and golden clothes are of no value to them. On the battlefield, it's happier than anything to meet an opponent who can risk everything to fight, even if you lose your life, it's like It's like Japanese Bushido."

Maybe it's too difficult to understand, for a daughter like Saori. Seiya and Shiryu who grew up in such an environment have an unimaginable "strength" despite all the hardships they have suffered since they were orphans.

That's not something ordinary people can experience. Yes, only warriors can.

"That's human too...the fate of beings like 'Saint Seiya'!"

Yu Xing, who looked at him at the end, used moving words. Not for anything else, just because he understands that this spirit is very important and can cause his huge growth in the future.

"...!?"

Saori could only look at him like this, unable to say anything. The mood has been deeply affected by the behavior of Seiya and Zilong. She herself did not expect the game to progress like this, and even if there is no holy clothing, she will never give up the spirit of continuing to fight.

Their awareness infected everyone.

Seiya and Zilong have already started fighting again on the field, because the ascended microcosm made a "dragon pattern" appear on Zilong's back.

It was a mark that was said to be possessed only by the chosen among the Saints.

They have already begun to fight, and the two of them are evenly divided in the mutual attack of fists and feet.

Then, Seiya made the move first.

The two attacks of "Pegasus Meteor Fist" caused Zilong, who thought he could see through all the fists, to be hit three times.

"Wow ah ah ah-"

Zilong knelt down on the ground, his face seemed to be shocked, nervous and fearful. The threat of Seiya's fist made him feel this way.

There is no way to think like this, Seiya's Meteor Fist will become more perfect every time he swings, which even the Saint Seiyas who are watching are very surprised.

(In this case, there is no hesitation, before the meteor fist is not complete...)

Zilong stood up and posed, but Seiya seemed to see through his thoughts, giving Zilong a considerable impact.

"Purple Dragon, okay? Swing 'Rising Dragon Master' twice...!?"

"what?!"

Although Zilong was surprised, he didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Your dragon's right fist is unprepared, this time it will become a fatal wound."

Then, Seiya's words strongly impacted Zilong's heart.

(This guy... only got it once, did you see through it?)
