Suddenly, he broke the contact and disappeared from his position. It was a speed at which Saito couldn't follow him using his eyes. His eyes widened when he was slashed from both the right and left sides simultaneously.

What surprised him, even more, was that he couldn't react to these attacks at all. He couldn't see them… And even if he could, there was no way his body would let him defend from two directions simultaneously.

After slashing him multiple times, Renya jumped away and stood a little farther away from Saito, "Hehehe… Do you understand the difference between us now? This is just half of my top speed. You have no hope of putting even a scratch on me, Axel."

Saito wiped the blood from his arms and fearlessly smiled, "Hahaha… It's been quite some time since I saw my own blood. Did you think that was my full speed? Aren't you underestimating me a little too much?"

He let out a sigh as he saw Saito smiling. He heard a concerned voice, "Axel… Are you alright?"

It was Chloe… She turned towards Renya and glared at him, "Renya, cut it out. You have no need to fight against Axel. It won't matter even if you win."

The smile on Renya's face vanished. In place of that smile was a calm and collected look, "Chloe… You should know that I have always liked you. It is frustrating for me to know that you like a guy like him. He is weak, he can't protect you. His power doesn't come close to mine. I have always treated you as someone precious."

He then turned towards Saito and spoke in a cold tone, "Today, I will show you that this man is unworthy of your love."

Saito started to chuckle out loud and spoke out loud, "I am weak? I can't protect her? My power doesn't come close to yours? Hahaha… It's been a while since I heard such funny jokes."

He let out a long breath and whispered in a low voice, "Nightfall, lend me your strength... Let's show our true power…"

His magic power which was on the verge of collapsing suddenly skyrocketed. However, Renya didn't look worried at all. He calmly held his own blade before suddenly charging towards Saito.

This time he was using his full speed, he knew that there was no way Saito could counter him at this speed. He used his full speed to end this match in an instant.

At this moment, though, something unexpected happened. Saito suddenly countered him and slashed him on his chest at the same time.

This happened in a single instant, but Renya was able to see it clearly. The moment he had seen Saito utilize that Black Lightning all over his body. It went through every nerve, every cell to increase his speed.

Saito also whispered in a low tone, "Thunder Slash." This time, it was Saito who disappeared with a clap of Thunder. Renya parried it and pushed him back. It seemed as though he was the stronger one between the two of them.

He moved faster than the eye could follow and was about to end the fight by slashing his stomach when suddenly he stopped and jumped away. The reason he stopped was just before the contact between the sword and his skin, Saito smiled.

And in the next instant, Renya realized how thankful he was to his instincts that he had jumped. It was because Saito suddenly spun around and spoke out loud, "Breath of Fire God: Fire Tornado!"

A tornado formed of hell flames suddenly surrounded him. As the tornado ended, Saito stood on his own feet. Renya looked at his wounds, and his eyes widened 'At that moment, he didn't use that attack just to attack me. He wanted to burn his wounds to close them so that he can fight at his peak condition right now.'

Saito didn't seem like he was injured at all. He was smiling calmly before making his move. He pointed his sword towards Renya and whispered, "Hell Blaze."

A small ball of Black Flames was formed and shot towards Renya at an incredible speed. Renya smiled a little as he noticed the Black Flames and spoke out loud, "Axel… Let me show you the difference between a Normal hero and a True Hero."

He stretched his hand towards the incoming ball of fire and said, "This is why you can never defeat me." Suddenly, shooting out a tremendous amount of water from his hands and dispersing the Black Flames.

Saito's eyes widened in surprise as he thought 'Impossible! My black flames shouldn't be so easily dispersed even by a large amount of water. What happened Iris?'

Iris responded back [Master… He is the True Hero. His attacks are strengthened while your attack was suppressed. So, it wasn't hard for him to disperse your Hell Flames.]

Saito clicked his tongue and thought 'Tsk. This ability of True Hero is really troublesome. Is that why I am feeling like my attacks are expending more of my magic than usual.'

Iris responded, [Yes, master. To counter his pressure on you. You are using much more magic in your attacks.]

As he hears this, Saito had a grim expression and stared at his beautiful blade, "I guess holding back here wouldn't be good for me."

Renya frowned for the first time since the start of the battle. He could suddenly feel that his pressure wasn't working on Saito right now.

Yellowish Lightning crackled around his body. He had started to use the Lightning to boost his speed. Around this time, Saito pointed at him with his sword, "Thunder Beast! Go!"

Saito himself started to fly high in the air. A giant beast made out of Black Lightning was formed as it stared at Renya with a hollow look.

Renya's eyes widened as he stared at Saito's grin. He quickly realized what was different with Saito and thought 'This guy! He has an ability that can counter my pressure. And now, he has released his magic which can't be suppressed by me in the city. Does he want to kill the innocent people in our fight? Does he want to see what I am capable of?'

He stared into the eyes of Saito and gritted his teeth as he further thought 'If this is how you want to check my abilities. This is a dirty way to do it.'

On the other side, Saito was thinking 'Come on True Hero. Save the civilians' life. Isn't that what you are going to do? Show me your abilities.'

However, this was where Saito had miscalculated. He thought that if he comes to know about Renya's abilities, it would be easy to counter him.

Renya didn't care either way. He was just surprised at the ruthlessness exhibited by Saito though. There was a smirk on his face as he pointed at the Thunder beast and shot towards it in a flash of lightning.

The Thunder Beast didn't do anything to stop him. If Renya hit the Thunder Beast, he was finished. It was better for him if Renya was the one approaching it.

However, Saito's eyes slowly widened when he felt a peculiar feeling. This was coming from an element that he couldn't use.

An element strong enough to counter the Lightning. It was none other than the Wind. Renya stood right in front of the face of the Thunder Beast and whispered in a calm tone, "Silvery Wind."

Suddenly, the thunder beast was dispersing right in front of Saito. Outwardly, Saito showed no emotion, but even he shook at how easily Renya had managed to disperse his own Thunder Beast.

Saito stared at Renya and spoke out loud, "So that's how it is. You can control the five basic elements. Isn't that right? That is why you are so strong. That speed wasn't just the Lightning, you are also controlling the Wind to make sure there is the least resistance in your path.. That is how you are so fast without over-exerting your body."
