Immortal Sword VS don quijote moderno

The sky above the Summoner’s Arena was a seamless tapestry of shifting colors, a backdrop prepared for the clash of legends. On the left side of the void field, the air grew heavy with a scent of sandalwood and ozone. From this quiet density emerged Immortal Sword. His presence commanded silence; he wore flowing white ancient-style robes that fluttered even without wind, intricate patterns weaving across the fabric like hidden scripts of the universe. A sash of fringes adorned his waist, and his long black hair was tied high, revealing a sharp, red mark upon his forehead. He held a slender longsword, its edge humming with a cold, crystalline sheen. Around him, faint green light radiated from spectral bookshelves and drifting mists, marking the boundary of his spiritual realm. He stood perfectly still, a statue carved from ice and conviction.

Opposite him, on the right, the atmosphere fractured. The air smelled of dry grass, metal rust, and savory tomato sauce. Don Quixote Moderno sat atop a small, scruffy grey-brown steed that looked more like a shaggy dog than a destrier. The knight himself was a spectacle of decay and whimsy. His skin was weathered and sunburnt, crisscrossed with wrinkles that spoke of endless travel. A dented, rusted metal helmet covered his head, beneath which yellow, oversized headphones clamped over his ears, pumping unheard music from another era. Beneath a stained beige shirt and a tattered green vest, blue jeans caked with mud were tucked into dark boots. In his right hand, he gripped a wooden spear tipped with jagged iron, a weapon of crude utility. In his left, he casually hoisted a slice of Italian pepperoni pizza, cheese stretching in a slow, golden thread. He chewed rhythmically, eyes obscured by the visor but body language vibrating with chaotic confidence.

The referee’s signal faded into silence. There was no countdown, only the shift in pressure.

"It is time to walk the path," Immortal Sword’s voice resonated, clear and devoid of trembling.

"Don Quixote Moderne!" The rider shouted, the sound amplified by the headphones’ microphone. He kicked the flanks of his mount. The small horse galloped forward with surprising vigor, kicking up dust. "For the honor of the modern age! And for the flavor of the night!"

The clash began with a burst of speed. Immortal Sword did not rush; he flowed. As the spear approached, aimed to pierce the heart, the swordsman sidestepped with an elegance that made the air itself seem to bend. His blade drew a single arc, invisible to the naked eye until the spark of contact flashed. *Ping.*

The wooden shaft vibrated violently in Don Quixote’s grip. The knight didn’t stumble; he laughed through the grit of his teeth. He wasn't deterred by speed alone. He adjusted his weight, leaning low over the saddle, the long lance acting as a bridge between them. The background shifted subtly—the bookshelf caves of the swordsman momentarily overlaid with the dry dirt road of the knight.

Inside Immortal Sword’s mind, a ripple of consciousness stirred. A flashback triggered by the sheer audacity of the opposition. *A battle against Sung Jinll. Years ago.* He remembered the overwhelming power then, the temptation to unleash everything immediately. But his Memory Level 4 growth had refined his soul. He realized that brute force was unnecessary against an opponent whose defense lay in unpredictability. *"One sword to break a myriad of laws,"* he thought, the mantra echoing in the core of his being. He would not meet force with force. He would match motion with motion, cutting through the logic of the enemy rather than the enemy itself.

Immortal Sword’s stance shifted. His white sleeves billowed outward as the sword qi manifested around the hilt. Green light intensified, swirling in the mists behind him. "Your defense relies on the distraction," the immortal declared, his voice dropping an octave.

"I am a man of many appetites!" Don Quixote roared, swinging the lance in a wide horizontal sweep. "Pizza first, battle second!" He attempted to take a bite mid-charge, a feat of coordination that bordered on insanity.

Immortal Sword reacted instantly. With a flick of his wrist, he created a phantom image, a Heart-Mirror Projection born of his resolve. He appeared three feet to the right, then vanished, leaving only a lingering slash of energy. The pizza slice dropped from Don Quixote’s left hand as the knight instinctively raised his shield—his own rusted helmet—to block the spiritual pressure. The energy rippled off the metal, distorting the sunlight.

The knight’s stamina was impressive, fueled by his unshakeable delusion of invincibility. He spun on the saddle, using the horse’s momentum to swing the spear overhead, a downward thrust meant to crush all who dared stand beneath him. This was the attack of a madman, a chaotic strike that defied geometry.

But Immortal Sword had walked this path before. The long-term memory dictated adaptability. *Use clean-cutting techniques,* the data whispered from his past self. Instead of blocking the heavy impact, the swordsman dissolved into the mist. The green fog swallowed his form.

Where did the sword come from?

It came from above. Immortal Sword materialized within the mist directly over the charging horse, gravity seemingly ignoring his mass. His eyes were shut, yet he struck true. "Conceptual Severing," he announced.

The sword descended not as metal, but as a line of absolute authority. The space itself tore open where the blade touched the air. Don Quixote tried to react, but the headphones masked his hearing, creating a blind spot in the battlefield. The lance met the descending sword qi, and the sound of a thunderclap shattered the arena.

Wood splintered. The iron tip on the spear cracked. The horse reared back, confused by the sudden loss of traction in the ground, as if the physics of the floor had been rewritten.

Don Quixote stumbled, landing heavily in the dirt. The adrenaline surged through his battered frame. He spat out a crumb of crust, wiping grease from his chin. "Impressive! Truly!" He pulled a spare spear from his belt—or perhaps it was summoned by the sheer force of his will—and charged again. He abandoned caution. He was a creature of impulse. He threw his head back, letting the music from his headphones dictate his rhythm. It was a wild dance, a rhythmic assault that could confuse lesser warriors.

But Immortal Sword felt no confusion. He saw the pattern. Every time the knight moved, he sought comfort in the mundane—eating, adjusting the helmet, shouting slogans. He fought to entertain himself. That was the flaw.

"You seek glory in noise," Immortal Sword stated, his tone softening into something colder. He stepped forward, drawing the sword completely. The blade glowed with a pure, white luminescence. "But true justice is silent."

He engaged. The movement became a blur. The white robe spun like a flower in a gale. Each step he took left a footprint of frost in the dirt. Don Quixote thrust the spear, desperate to find a gap. The wood broke against the sword arm-guard, sending splinters flying. The knight grimaced, pain flashing briefly behind his visor, but he pressed on, refusing to admit defeat.

Then, the Memory Echo solidified in Immortal Sword's vision. It wasn't just a recollection; it was a confirmation of his evolution. He recalled the lessons learned during his dialogue with the users regarding restraint. He understood now that he didn't need to kill the spirit of madness. He needed to neutralize the chaos. "Restraint is precision," he said aloud.

With a breath that calmed the turbulent wind of the arena, Immortal Sword executed the "Dao Stripping" technique, though he restrained the full cost to himself. He didn't aim to kill. He aimed to separate the knight from his weapons and his mounts. A wave of sword intent washed over the field, stripping away the rust, the grime, and the attachment to the junk.

The effect was instantaneous. The rusted helmet cracked, not from damage, but from the weight of the knight’s own doubts surfacing. The pizza on the ground turned to crumbs. The muddy jeans lost their footing, and the horse stumbled into a trance-like sleep, overwhelmed by the sheer spiritual pressure.

Don Quixote Moderno fell to one knee, his spear pointing at the ground. The music from his headphones stopped. For the first time, the arena was silent. The chaos that defined him was stripped away by the purity of the sword.

"Your way," Immortal Sword lowered his blade, the white glow fading to a gentle shimmer. "Is flawed. A warrior does not eat his enemies."

Don Quixote laughed, a raspy, dry sound. He wiped sweat from his brow, peeling the broken visor back slightly. "Perhaps. But I rode my steed to the end of the road." He tapped his chest. "And my heart beats for the adventure. Not the victory."

Immortal Sword nodded slowly. There was respect in that admission, but the rules of the arena demanded a conclusion. "Then I shall leave the path to your dreams. But your spear is broken."

The swordsman delivered the final blow, a precise tap of the blade against the knight's helmet that knocked the defender unconscious without causing harm. The fall was dramatic, but contained. Don Quixote Moderno collapsed, the gears of his crazy machinery grinding to a halt.

The dust settled. Immortal Sword stood amidst the wreckage of the field. His breathing was steady. He holstered his blade, though it disappeared into a fold of space. He bowed slightly to the fallen opponent, a gesture of courtesy from the highest rank.

The victory was not gained by overpowering strength, but by the depth of understanding. Immortal Sword had utilized his high-level memory to predict the chaos, filtering through the noise with his sword intent. Don Quixote had relied on surprise and endurance, but the memory integration level of the Immortal allowed him to dismantle the foundation of the opponent's reality. The "Everything is a Sword" philosophy proved superior to the "Modern Knight" delusion when faced with a true master of technique.

Immortal Sword walked forward, stepping over the resting knight. The green mist cleared, returning the arena to normalcy. The summoner watching from afar nodded, recognizing the growth displayed in this bout. The precision, the restraint, the mastery of the will—it was the hallmark of a seasoned veteran.

Don Quixote was a valiant fool, but in a duel of concepts and souls, the Fool cannot always win against the Sage. The Immortal Sword had severed the timeline of the battle before it could truly begin to spiral into chaos.

The outcome is undeniable. The challenger fell, and the guardian remained. The battle concludes here.
