Record of Ragnarok: Ouroboros

Chapter 11: Heat of Liberation

His tremendous endurance makes him tougher than the strongest steel.

As the ultimate liberator, Simón Bolívar, recovers from the havoc, both champions get into their battle stances, preparing to strike if one of them decides to act first. The one to make the first move is... Simón, the liberator, fires his pistol in an attempt to harm the god. However, Set quickly reacts to the incoming strike, using one of his khopeshes to cut the bullet, swinging it in a downward angle. Using this opportunity, Simón sprints towards Set before jumping to the side, aiming his blade at the god's neck.

Seeing this, the god thinks of methods to counteract the liberator. He imagines him using his khopesh to slash Simón across his stomach, potentially bisecting him. However, he couldn't take that chance; if he couldn't bisect his waist, Simón could hit him with his sword, nullifying [Disorder Retaliation] or even worse, killing the god. "Damn it. I can't risk it if the blade cannot cut through his body!"

As Set snaps back to reality, the god is not taking the risk of using khopesh to slash Simón, so he quickly turns to the liberator before using the sand below to rise, covering his whole left arm in it. The god uses his sand-coated arm before swinging it directly towards Simón's right ribs, consequently hitting the liberator with increased force, breaking his rib, and launching him away.

[Thin Sand Breaker]

While Simón is flying away from Set, he uses his sword to stab the floor of sand to stop the momentum of the impact from the technique, slowing him down before landing on the floor. Simón briefly touches his right ribs before spitting out some blood, not showing any visible pain. "A counter! Set rips with a powerful punch and quick thinking! And Simón Bolívar can't do a thing to fight back! As the two resume their clash, Simón Bolívar rushes in for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sneak attack! And yet Set, who had the disadvantage earlier in the fight, now has the upper hand!!" Heimdall exclaims loudly into his Gjallarhorn.

"Jeez, that's it? That didn't even hurt at all!" Simón exclaims as he plucks his blade out of the floor.

"Real arrogant there, that's rich coming from me." Set says with a displeased smile on his face.

"That guy... He needs to stop pulling off risky stunts or else he'll get himself killed!" A person in a military uniform says, sitting in the mortal's seating.

[Fidel Castro - Cuba]

"Heh, don't worry about him. Knowing Simón, that bastard can still move!" Another person besides Fidel Castro speaks with his fingers on his chin.

[Che Guevara - Argentina]

Set grits his teeth before charging towards the unprepared Simón. "Well, isn't this interesting! In that case, I'll keep cornering until you drop dead!" Set then unleashes sharpened sands from below him that rapidly fly through the air to slice through the liberator. However, knowing that Simón will nullify the attack, Set forms some sand into rotating chakrams for extra offense, sending them towards Simón.

[Wrathful Corpse Slicing]

"There ain't nothing I can't endure. However, I can only seal one or two techniques at a time, so I need to find a way out!" Simón says in his head before shooting the incoming chakrams in front of him, destroying them before using his sword to block the sharpened sands, clashing them with the blade, destroying4 them. Set uses this as an opportunity to get near Simón before coating his right leg with the sand he is standing on and delivering a high kick on Simón's stomach.
