In front Jingū's eyes, that event occurred in slow motion; the swing of their guns, the excitement in the stands, even the water around it.
Sobek's claws traveled fiercely to her neck; her left arm, holding the sword, unconsciously moved to block the attack.
His claws struck metal, a metallic shriek arose, and the waters churned around them, but the tragedy was witnessed by Jingū.
It tried to resist, but the metal wasn't able so ended up breaking to make way for the crocodile's hard claws, until it split completely. A sound wave arose from such a severe impact, drawing the attention of both.
The broken piece flew into the air as Jingū and Sobek tried to figure out what happened; the God understood it first, but the human's mind was so blocked she didn't even know how she had gotten there.
When the metal hit the ground, it produced the typical metallic sound brought Jingū's mind back to reality; her mind, her ears, her eyes.
– … Huh?…
Still, she was barely able to mutter that sound. The crocodile for his part jumped back to contemplate his act with a better point of view, with a relaxed posture and with his guard down.
With a very noticeable tremor arising in her limbs and body, she raised her left hand to see the piece of sword still had. Between so much disorder she felt, her mind could barely emanate a thought with terrible concern.
« … M-Miss Hrist?… Are you…? »
– Sobek… Sobek has cut Jingū's sword in half!
Heimdall's frantic shout brought sound back to the stadium.
– Just as Poseidon did with Sasaki Kojiro, Sobek follows in the footsteps of his predecessor!… Just as Jingū took away his trident, Sobek has claimed the life of her sword!
Soon after, the gods stopped their surprise and filled the stadium with their cries of praise and arrogant pride. With all the noise arose, Geir was left very confused.
– W-What? What happened…?
She walked down the hall to a balcony overlooked the bleachers; she peeked out of it and, in addition to hearing from the Norse storyteller, she was able to see the stage with her own eyes. That made him bring hands to mouth.
– J-Jingū!
Along with Sasaki watching the fight, she had the memory of Poseidon destroying the sword in a very similar way. Although she knew how it had ended 1000 years ago, the purple-haired couldn't help but shed a tear in surprise.
Lif and Lifthrasir broke away from her embrace; the older one was left standing on the chair while the younger one got down and ran from side to side in terror.
– Ahhh! – Lifthrasir shouted as she ran – Jingū lost her sword! Sobek broke it!
– I know, I know! – answered the older one with the same expression – We're lost! Without a weapon, there is no way to attack again!
– Don't worry. No problem.
The way Lifthrasir said it as clenched her fists caught Lif's attention.
– What are you talking about?
– What is going to happen…! – the younger explained – Just as big sis Hrist did with Sasaki Kojiro when they faced Poseidon; it'll be repeated… Jingū will do the Re-Volund, and she'll be able to defeat Sobek!
Lif was silent; she got down from the chair and with her hand up slapped her younger sister in the face.
– Don't be silly!
