The sun had set for 15 minutes and the fight was not at all to Elsa's advantage. Reinhard dominated her on all points but the worst always remained the three quotes for her always in her heart even his movements pushing her to touch the visual him. The more things progressed, the less rationality she gained.

Elsa struggled to keep up with Reinhard's speed, his attacks almost overwhelming her. Her mind was growing foggier and she could feel the weight of the quotes etched on her heart.

- Shit... I can't... lose... Like this... She muttered, her voice strained as she tried to regain her composure.

- It's over, Elsa.

- Viu and I neutralized your defenses.

- Abandoned ! They said.

Elsa's eyes widened in disbelief at their words. Her heart was beating hard in her chest and she felt a feeling of despair overcome her.

- No... No, it can't be that. I refuse... I refuse to lose...

She clenched her fists tightly, anger and frustration mixing together.

That was the sign.

Reinhard therefore took the opportunity to use his family's secret technique; he concentrated his mana throughout his sword before unleashing it all against her. In addition, the letters created by Viu not only boosted her power but also directed it only against her. Elsa looked up in horror as she saw Reinhard preparing his attack, his eyes wide with terror.

- Now take our combined attack!

- Take that in my teeth.

- No ! You can not do that ! I will not let you !

She tried to dodge, but it was useless. The combined attack from Reinhard and the letters had hit her directly, completely overwhelming her before reducing her to dust.

The guards as well as Emilia and Felt were delighted with this special move.

- We succeeded, Viu! However, the sword is broken. Finally, the importance is that she was defeated.

- Big bro, you win!

- Reinhard, Viu! You were awesome!

- Minute, the writings have not been erased. Oh no ! What is this beast!?

Elsa had regenerated without them even realizing it. However, her instinct and her consciousness had not returned to her. Her instincts guided her as to who she should kill and Viu too.

It was for me.

- What is he doing ?

- It's me you want to kill, right Elsa? So try it to see! Let's see which of my writings and your curse wins!

Elsa's regeneration was almost instantaneous, her body rebuilding itself with supernatural speed. His eyes were dull and unseeing, his mind consumed by primal instinct.
When Viu had spoken to her, her gaze had focused on him and she had moved closer, her steps slow and deliberate.

- You... You did this to me... I'll make you pay.

She lunged forward, trying to dig her claws into his neck. Except that condition number 2 was activated. She would die if she tried to kill Viu and he knew it, and somewhere he suspected that she would too, but for the last time in his life, his instincts had taken over his reason.

As Elsa rushed towards Viu, she felt a sudden surge of pain shoot through her entire body.

- What no! I'm not going to...lose like that...!

She tried to continue her attack, but her body betrayed her, wobbling as the enchantments were triggered.

- You will die. You have broken one of the conditions of your heart.

A look of horror appeared on Elsa's face as Viu spoke, her eyes widening in realization.

- No... No, impossible!

She tried to speak, her voice strained and muffled.

- I can't... lose like that... not against... you...

- Goodbye Elsa. It was you or Felt, Emilia, Rom and the others. Nothing personal.

He nevertheless remained close to her, asking Reinhard to move away for more privacy, which he did.

Meanwhile, Emilia, the guards and Felt watched the scene between the two.

(Viu holds on to her according to the tradition of his village. When our enemy or friend dies, the individual holds on to him during and after his death.)

Elsa's body trembled, a mixture of anger, fear and resignation taking over her.

- For what...? Why are you... so... merciful...?

His eyes locked on Viu's, a thousand unspoken questions and conflicting emotions swirling within them.

He clings to her a little more then he whispers.

- Because I felt your suffering since our fight and the pain of your past. I sometimes wonder if I wouldn't have become like you if I had lived your life.

He then closes his eyes and leaves his mouth ajar.

Elsa felt herself weaken as Viu held her close, his words hitting her deep inside. She couldn't deny the truth in his words, his empathy and understanding cutting through her defenses like a blade.

- You... You can't... Why do you care? she choked, her voice weak and trembling.

- Shh, I'm here! Sleep in peace!

Elsa's body gradually grew weaker as she leaned into Viu's embrace. The sound of his soothing words and his comforting closeness strangely calmed her. Despite her instincts and her warlike nature, she no longer found the strength to fight.

Her eyes slowly closed, a single tear escaping and rolling down her cheek.

- Farewell, may you be forgiven and welcomed into heaven.

Elsa felt herself drifting away as he said those last words. His mind was starting to get foggy, but there was a strange feeling of peace in his heart. She had expected to feel rage, anger, or even fear in her final moments, but instead all she felt was a strange calm.

As the last of her strength left her, a small, almost peaceful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Just afterward, a myriad of writing carried her away, at least without a body or simply leaving nothing of her. Once that was over, he turned back to the others and Felt jumped into his arms while banging his hands on his chest.

- Silly ! Silly ! Silly ! You gave me one of his fears!

Viu let out a weary but somewhat amused sigh as Felt hammered his chest.   Emilia, still recovering, looked at Viu with a mixture of surprise and concern.

- Viu... Are you okay?

- Yes.   Reinhard helped me a lot 

Reinhard, who had been quietly observing the situation, nodded.

- He did well.   He was very ingenious and courageous, he said with a hint of admiration in his tone.

- Will you still leave Elsa's body to me? 

Reinhard nodded again, his expression serious.

- Yes, I trust you to take care of it.   You have shown remarkable maturity and understanding in this situation.

He smiled tenderly then looked at everyone for a moment before finally becoming exhausted.
