The yugushiva's dance-like attack left Gi Go on the defensive. He wanted to attack, but the snow was just too great of an enemy. The snow reached up his knees, and every time he tried to step in, the snow would sap as much force as he pushed in, dulling his movements.

It was difficult to attack.

"Mr. Gi Go!"

As far as Yoshu was concerned, nothing had changed. Even if there was snow and even if the enemy fought remarkably well like dancing, all he had to do was to put out his shield as usual.

"Don't... interfere!" Gi Go said.

Despite being pushed back, Gi Go did not look anxious, if anything, he looked happy. The yugushiva jumped from the snow as the wind fluttered its white overcoat, stirring up the snow before rushing for Gi Go.

The yugushiva was like a carnivorous bird fluttering in the vast sky as it looked for an opening and bolted for it.

The yugushiva's curved sword that was as big as it cut through the clouds of snow as it struck out toward Gi Go.

In response, Gi Go swept away the snow by his feet.

Gi Go could not match the enemy in speed, so he decided to wait for the enemy and exchange blows.

The light of the fire god's body reflected off his curved sword.

"Come!" Gi Go said.

Gi Go lowered his hips and positioned his sword horizontally as he took on a stance that hid his curved sword from the enemy.

A powerful aura emanated from Gi Go. It was so powerful that Yoshu couldn't help but gulp as he watched.

If this were a normal monster fighting him, it would surely run from his terrifying aura.

But the yugushiva Gi Go was facing did not falter in the slightest. In fact, the yugushiva gave a battle cry as it ran even faster.

"RUuoAAaaI!!"

When the yugushiva was about 10 steps away, it swung his curved sword again, concealing both its and Gi Go's figures.

"Tch!?" Yoshu snapped his tongue.

He knew that the snow was the enemy's ally, so he quickly looked for Gi Go to run where he was.

Yoshu was reminded again of how foolish it was to fight this demon here. The snow was their home ground, and it was precisely because they were unparalleled on it that they came to be known as yugushiva, which literally meant snow demon.

"Naive. Too naive," Yoshu spat as he cursed his own naivety.

Before Yoshu could find Gi Go, however, the yugushiva jumped out of the snow, then sounds of swords clashing filled the area.

Not long after, the yugushiva jumped back again, and Gi Go's figure appeared shortly after he brushed away the snow.

Fortunately, he was still safe. Yoshu heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Gi Go! Let's withdraw! The odds are far too against us!"

They should run while they still could.

"Retreat? Yoshu, the very purpose of this trip is right before our eyes! How could I run!?"

Gi Go wanted to find a worthy adversary and suppress the sword god within, then he would stand before the king once more.
