Daphne: Really?
Yoshiro: Yes but unlike the ones you created, theses beasts are more capable of destroying wolds not just one but multiple. And the most powerful one name Ragnarok is an immortal Black Dragon that can destroy universes. I have the second strongest Armageddon and Limbo the fourth.
Daphne: If they are that powerful, how did they get beaten by you?
Yoshiro: I out smarted them. I know I couldn't kill them without beating smart about it. That being said I've waited long enough. Echidna what are your thoughts on Subaru?
Echidna: He's very interesting. Though he needs help here and there. I say give a one more chance to prove his worth.
Yoshiro: I see so you honestly believe he has a chance to do something. You believe he can break Limbo's loop of death? 
Echidna: Yes. I believe he can do it.
Yoshiro: Hmph. Very well. I shall give him his last chance. I will leave now and reset everything here. You will not remember me or what happened here before I came.
Echidna: Aww that makes me sad actually.
Yoshiro: Farewell.
Before he disappeared she mouthed something to him that shocked him and left him wanting to know what she said. However he already returned and didn't want to go through all that again as time was not plentiful.
Yoshiro: (What did she mean by that? How much did she see into my past on that walk?) Hm no matter.  Subaru.
Subaru: Huh?!
Yoshiro: I'll give you a set number of chances. I'll even give you a hint to break out of your deaths. I gave you one person and it paid off. How many chances do you think you will need?
Subaru: t-ten?
Yoshiro: I'll give you eight.
Subaru: *ngh*
Yoshiro: You know the human head can retain conciseness for 25-30 seconds once severed from the body. Amazing isn't it? Now then on your eighth attempt I will bring you back here for one last decision. I gave you your riddle now it's up to you to figure it out within your eight attempts.
Subaru: What?!
Yoshiro: Good luck Subaru.
He snaps his fingers and once again he opens his eyes to his head spinning. In the small window he took his time to observe everything. On the second death he noticed the distance and direction Yoshiro was in. On the third death he observed the people behind him and who was closest. On the fourth death he had to think on the person best suited for countering him.
On the fifth death He looked at Yoshiro as if he was losing it and was panicking on his face to trick him. On the sixth death he counted how many seconds he had before his head was cut off. On his second to last death he made sure everything was the same and his plan was full proof.
Yoshiro: As promised we are here before your last attempt. What are your last words?
Subaru: ...I only need one anyway.
Yoshiro: Hmph, so sure of yourself. If that's all you have to say then so be it.
He snaps his fingers and things went to normal. However this time Subaru's knowledge of the situation made the difference.
Subaru: KAJAH BLOCK RIGHT FRONT!
With his eyes still closed he gave the best order to the right person. Kajah instantly jumps in front of Subaru blocking the swing of Yoshiro's left handed sword.
Yoshiro: What?
Subaru: WRATH! REM!
The two spring into action and counter the complete open swordsman. He had no choice but to back up to avoid getting his by the two however Subaru had this thought ahead as well.
Subaru: LUNANIE!
She puts a barrier behind Yoshiro forcing him into a corner. Without having to say anything Beatrice and Emilia unleashed a barrage of powerful spells directly on him. Yoshiro jumps up into the air unscathed.
Subaru: INVISIBLE PROVIDENCE!!!
Yoshiro: Hm?!
By a miraculous surprise Yoshiro was hit off guard by Subaru's new ability he learned in that time and, do to Kajah's demon blood running through him, he was able to manifest a powerful version of it that had an even greater impact.
Subaru: (I-I got him?!) *ngh* my head...*coughs* that still...has negative effects on me Huh.
Kajah: Nice call Subaru cause he definitely would have cut your head off with that attack.
Subaru: Huh...yah.  I still can't believe I actually landed a hit.
Wrath: NOT BAD KID! Heheh.
Emilia: That was amazing Subaru.
Yoshiro: I'm shocked actually.
Subaru: Heh guess you can be hit after all
Yoshiro: I never said I couldn't. I'm not perfect just skilled. Though I have made slight errors at times. Like you have now.
Subaru: Huh?
Yoshiro stands up to see this right hand had blocked the surprise attack.
Subaru: *tisk* dam it.
Yoshiro: I have to give you credit. What you pulled off was surprisingly clever. Making use each time before the last. However now that I have acknowledged your resolve.
Subaru: Huh?
The area becomes night and Reinhard was able to see Subaru and the others outside one of the castle windows.
Reinhard: That's...Subaru. Wait is he's fighting Yoshiro?!
Felt: What?!
Crusch: He can't can he?
Cecilus: I want to see how this goes down.
Yoshiro: Let's see what you all can do.
Kajah: We've grown stronger than before Yoshiro. We will show you that we are capable of beating you.
Yoshiro: If Reinhard and Cecilus together couldn't beat me, what makes you think all of you can?
Subaru: Heh, Just a feeling.
Wrath: I'm getting excited Heheh. My mana is back now to.
Wrath's aura could be seen growing.
Yoshiro: hm?
Wrath: Void Walker.
He turns into his new form once again and prepares for a series fight.
Void: (Using me again I se- YOU'RE FIGHTING YOSHIRO?! ARE YOU ALL MAD?!)
Wrath: (The hell! You knew we were coming up to here. Why are you so surprised?)
Void: (I was hoping you would return and live to see another day. However I see you're just stupid. Well it was fun while it lasted.)
Wrath: (Jee thanks for the encouraging words.)
Void: (Any time.)
Wrath: (Screw you.)
Yoshiro: Prepare.
The group gets ready for a serious fight against the strongest swordsman.
An explosion of attacks set off and everyone is trying hard to hit him. At the same time he's only avoiding everything they use against him.
Lunanie: (His movements...I wonder if I.)
In one of his dodging Lunaine casted a powerful fire spell where she figured he would land.
Yoshiro: (What?)
He was forced to avoid and change direction.
Lunaine: That's it! Beatrice,Emilia. I have an idea.
Yoshiro: (They really are thinking hard about this Huh. I need to take care of those three.) hm?
As he was about to attack the three girls, Wrath,Kajah and Subaru unleashed relentless combo attacks. At the same time he had to avoid several magic attacks from Beatrice,Lunaine, and Emilia that are constantly shortening his windows of evasion.
Yoshiro: (I see.)
He quickly adapts to his situation and began going offensive. He blocks Kajah and Wrath's attacks at the same he was changing his movements to throw off Subaru's future sight ability. Emilia, Lunaine, and Beatrice's magic attacks were being canceled by his own magic attacks.
Subaru: (No way he's already found a way to counter all of us.)
Lunaine: Meteor fall!
Several spell circles formed above him and meteors rained down on him.
Emilia: Nice one Lunaine.
Emilia follows with a borage of large sharp ice attacks. All this yet, Yoshiro was destroying and avoiding everything while dodging Wrath chains and Rem's chained mace. Subaru casted several powerful lightning and water attacks hoping to get him yet he avoids that as well.
Lunaine: he's definitely got us figured out.
Emilia: already?
Beatrice: He's definitely skilled I suppose.
Emilia: Maybe Puck can help.
Puck: You called? Oh I see why.
He sends several ice shards at him and without looking he block each one with his sword.
Yoshiro: I have to admit, I'm having fun toying with all of you.
Kajah: *tisk* Enough of that.
Yoshiro: Oh? Gonna get serious now?
Kajah: HAAAAA!!!
Kajah turns into his second most powerful form.
Yoshiro: Hm.
Yoshiro quickly changed his mood and got serious using his other hand to fight now.
Everyone attacks at one and Kajah is now putting out the most dangerous attacks.
Yoshiro: (I might have to take him out first.)
Out of nowhere Subaru attacks from behind with his element sword.
Yoshiro: What?!
Yoshiro was forced to block both Kajah and Subaru now while avoiding the attacks from Rem and Wrath and avoiding the magic attacks from the three girls.
Reinhard: That them alright.
Felt: Are they giving him a hard time?
Cecilus: He's not in his forms. He's just playing with them.
Priscilla: He's definitely something alright.
Crusch: Shame he's not on our side.
Then they noticed something important.
Reinhard: Kajah is keeping up with him surprisingly well actually.
Anastasia: Huh?
Cecilus: Yah...I can see that.
They noticed how Yoshiro is focusing more on Kajah than anyone else.
Reinhard: Do you think?
Cecilus: To soon to say.
Reinhard: I noticed something else.
Cecilus: hm?
Reinhard: Kajah is using his left arm to fight with that sword. Isn't he right handed?
Cecilus: Yah actually I think he uses two swords to fight.
Reinhard: (So he's not able to fight at full strength then.) I wonder...
Cecilus: What are you thinking about.
Reinhard holds his sword and thinks extremely hard about his next decision.
Cecilus: Reinhard.
Reinhard: *smiles* I'll take out chances with this gamble.
Cecilus: Huh?
Reinhard: KAJAH!!!
Everyone looks over to see Reinhard getting ready to throw something.
Kajah: Huh?
Reinhard: (I hope this works.) CATCH!!!
He throws Reid directly to him and it goes flying past Yoshiro.
Yoshiro: hm? WHAT?!
Before he put two and two together the sword was now in Kajah's hand.
Kajah: (What is this...this energy.)
Using his right arm he unleashes the sword and it's color changes. The blades edges are red with a black center. The handle now to red and black. The gold remained the same.
Reinhard: Well look at that.
Yoshiro: (Dam I was too careless.)
Kajah unleashes devastating attacks against him now. Yoshiro's hands trembling with each attack he blocks.
Yoshiro: (Heheh well played Reinhard.)
He was now in a serious situation with Kajah getting the best sword for his right arm. The Dragon Sword was getting more powerful as Kajah's mana was flowing into it. Unlike Reinhard who unleashes the power in large areas of effects, Kajah uses the power in bursts with each swing allowing him to have more single targets blows. Yoshiro was forced into a corner do to his situation.
Yoshiro: Dam. Demon Order Yoshiro.
Subaru: Get ready everyone.
They clash and the outcome was still in Kajah's favor.
Yoshiro: (Seriously? Did that sword really give him that much of a boost?)
The swords Yoshiro was using was about to shatter from the power of Kajah and his own as well as deflecting everyone else's attacks.
Yoshiro: This is a very interesting development.
Felt: They got him corned!
Cecilus: No...that's when a beast is most dangerous.
Yoshiro unleashes a powerful shockwave pushing everyone back.
Subaru: Kajah...
Kajah: Yah...it's about to get serious.
Cecilus: This is it.
Reinhard: The form he used on us.
Yoshiro: Gods Right Disciple of Genesis Yoshiro Masamune.
With Both Limbo and Armageddon in his hands, he stands with a serious glare at them.
Reinhard: Subaru...Kajah...everyone good luck and be careful.
Yoshiro: You have my full attention now.
