...

"You ready my beautiful dragon?" Nisus asked as Artoria got in her fighting stance holding Excalibur, this wasn't the date verse where she had the scabbard Albion, so she would need to rely on skill to fight him.

Nisus smirked as he opened a GOB portal and looked at Artoria, "You're a dragon now... so I'll use this, I won't use powers, Deal?" He said pulling out Gram, the sword of the sun originally used by Sigurd, he wouldn't kill her but this would give him an advantage by making her feel scared instinctively.

*Clank!*

Without warning Artoria lunged forward and slashed down at Nisus, only to be blocked and kicked away by the latter, "Geez, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth hitting you, but just this once I need to do this, I shall be an advocate of true gender equality!" Nisus yelled raising Gram and jumping up before falling down on Artoria with a crazy grin.

He always loved fighting, and fighting Artoria was even more thrilling than most of the others he had fought.

"I've watched you for 1,500 years... I know all your moves, your schedule, the slightest motion of your wrist, I know it all..." Artoria said quietly kicking him in the chest from the side and stabbing at him with Excalibur.

Nisus widened his eyes as he narrowly dodged the blade, 'Crap...she paid that much attention to me?' He thought before stepping back dodging the sword again.

"I'm glad you watched me so much, can't want to watch you squirm under me in bed," He said lunging forward as she was caught off guard by his words.

Nisus wasn't an idiot, there was no such thing as fighting dirty, that was made up by the parents that spoiled their kids and cried when their kids didn't get participation trophies.

Nisus knew that it didn't matter about fighting 'Dirty' or 'Unfair' all that mattered was winning, by any means necessary.

Artoria dodged before flipping over nisus and corkscrewing while sending a beam of light down on Nisus slicing into his shoulder before he dodged the rest.

"Wow, you drew first blood, great job!" As per his promise, he didn't use his power to heal himself, his power was a cheat that guaranteed wins, it wouldn't be very respectful to use it, even though this made Artoria angry, she knew it was impossible to win if he used his power, so she let him be.

*Whish*

Artoria widened her eyes as a thin line of blood fell down her cheek, Gram only a nanometer away from her.

"This doesn't mean that you won, make sure to keep your head on your shoulders," Nisus said leaning in and kissing her forehead before jumping back.

"Round one goes to you, right? you did much more damage than me..." He said with a teasing smile, Artoria gritted her teeth before scales slowly appeared on her skin.

This was one of her transformations, she had been training during these 1,500 years harder than anyone to fight Nisus, her one goal for these years.

She currently had 5 different ones, which she called Stages, this was stage one, Soft Scales, which made her 5x stronger, faster, and more aware, it also gave her 10x more defense than her base.

Nisus smiled at the Dragoness, in truth he had watched her progress and seen her train harder than anyone else he had seen, this made him happy seeing his future wife trying so hard... even though her goal was to beat him, something he couldn't allow... Not if he wanted her to be his...

"Then... I should at least get serious," Nisus said as his eyes glowed slightly and the atmosphere changed into a more serious one, Artoria moved to the right as quick as she could, unfortunately, she wasn't able to dodge the sword aura that had slices her cheek like slicing through paper...

"How?" She questioned but dodged again feeling another coming, she could tell it wasn't time to talk, it was time for her to go as hard as she could.

Deciding this she busted forward with her sword in a stabbing motion, aimed at Nisus's chest.

*Shink*

Nisus didn't move and blocked it with the sword aura...

"your swordsmanship is too strong... how am I supposed to do something like that..." Nisus said lying down and breathing heavily as Musashi chuckled and pointed his sword in the air.

"It's simple, you and the sword are one, and you are also separate, together you can be unstoppable, this is the way of the sword..." Musashi said smiling as the trees around them fell due to his sword aura.

"That is too much " Elder Wisdom" Bullshit for me to follow man..." Nisus said standing up fully energized due to his power.

"The sword and I are one?... no we aren't, I'm not some piece of metal meant to follow my will, f.u.c.k that, I'll make my own" Nisus said as the earth around them split in two making Musashi widen his eyes seeing the aggression.

This wasn't how it was supposed to work, Musashi couldn't believe that Nisus was able to make his own type of sword style and make it work so well...

"I'm in control, that's just how it is, if the sword doesn't like it then it doesn't need to slice shit for me..." Nisus said quietly kicking Artoria away from him.

"Try again..." Nisus said seeing the blonde grit her teeth and stab toward him again, this time more aggressively, trying to get him with all her strength.

Nisus needed to redirect her attacks, she was physically much stronger than him, and this was just the beginning stage, But technique-wise he could hold his own.

"Nice try, but still not enough to beat your future husband," Nisus said as he got an attack off and hit her in the chest making her jump back and fall to her knees breathing heavily.

"Fine... I'll need to try harder..." Artoria said as her eyes flashed and wings grew out of her back.

This form, gave a 20x boost in everything, plus more agility given that she can fly in this form, her scales also hardened, making it nearly impossible to cut into, and this was only the second form.

Nisus smiled as they started round 3...
