(A few hours before M/n? Attacks)

•walking out if his castle Kishi clenches his fists and stabs his sword into the ground outside, before taking one last walk around inside before he must leave, potentially forever. He looks at every crevice and crack that he's grown to love over the years•

•walking through the once proud and strong walls and rooms of the magnificent castle. Bodies still strewn around. Both a glum reminder of what he failed to protect and a showing of what he must do to protect his new king.•

•finally making his way to the kings room he gently kneels beside the now rotten corpse of his former king•

Kishi: i must leave now......my liege.....may you rest well in the after life forever more......

•taking one last glance he slowly trudges back to the front doors of the castle, power flickering through him as he feels his new technique flicker through him•

•up ahead however, he hears a voice•

???: for such a giant sword the hilt is way too short! How is this a two handed sword!

•seeing a extremely tall figure ahead of him who looks to be half corrupted? he takes the sword with ease and hoists it up with one hand•

Kishi: its just a one handed sword, special grade weapon, Artoria pendragon. A long sword blessed by my king in the name of a legend. A disgusting ethereal like you isnt worthy of touching it.

???: oh? And just who the hell are you?

Kishi: i am the one who stands at the pinnacle of all warriors, im the one who has to protect his king, i am Meiyoaru Kishi, the strongest knight.

???: Ah so your the target the master sent me to kill! It seems you really do hang around here!

Kishi: so whats your name then, i assume your working with Overlord based on your looks?

Arolona: that's correct, my name is Arolona! Im guessing your referring to my more corrupt body? Master has been injecting me with ethereal essence for months!

Kishi: i see, and your just going to let me walk away with this information?

Arolona: haha! You wont be walking away from this place at all! Your grave is here!

Kishi: i thought i told you, im the one who stands at the pinnacle of all warriors.

Arolona: pinnacle of all warriors? You are without a doubt the cockiest human I've ever met! AHAAHAA!

Kishi: hahahaha-

•with one swipe Kishi cuts Arolona clean in half, his upper body completely sent flying as his legs and waist crumple to the floor•

Kishi: and that is the power of the strongest.

•suddenly Arolona's body begins to reform back up•

Arolona: not bad *grunt* but it'll a lot more than that to kill me! My body has already adapted to ethereal essence so i can heal easily!
