Campione - ep10

It seems after Godou received the message from Persues, they return to the Bronze Black Cross HQ to discuss a plan on how to deal with Persues. Although Liliana's maid Karen brings up the key issue. That Liliana needs to give Godou the knowledge of Persues origins that she obtains from Athena, however she is hesitant because she only wants to kiss her soul-mate. This is a bit of a problem since learning the information from book is impractical, and Persues isn't going to wait months or years for Godou to read all the information that he needs. This leads to Karen suggesting that she pass the knowledge to her and then she will teach Godou the information. Although seeing that he really doesn't want to force to do something that she really doesn't want to do, he leave to make his way to fight Persues under the guise of going to the bathroom.

After Godou has just gotten off a bus he is discover by Liliana, this forces him to explain why he end up going off on his own. That he didn't want to force her to do something against her will considering that only a short while ago, she had to do just that when she served Duke Voban. That he didn't want to put her through something similar, that is why he won't order her to do something against her will just so that he can win. Then it turns out that they no-longer have the time to discuss this issue because Persues has gotten tried of waiting, and this is why he has personal shown up to escort Godou to their arena.

Things go as well as things could for Godou since he isn't any better off from the last time that the fought. Initially he tries to fight Persues indirectly by using the power of the Ox to give him super-strength to throw things at Persues from a distance. Then when Persues subdues Godou, he tries to finish him off by shooting him with an arrow. However it doesn't kill Godou like before because he block it with his arm. This is when Liliana decides that she will help Godou to the full extent of her ability. Then with this Godou finally receives the knowledge he needs from Liliana.

This allows for him to truly fight back because he now know the true nature of Persues and why he is able to void his abilities. That Persues's true name is Mithra, the reason that this was important is because Verethragna the god war that Godou defeat served Mithra the god of the sun. That is why he couldn't win before, that by fighting Persues he is trying to defeat his master. Now with this knowledge Godou is able to server Persues authorities and with it his ability to subdue him. While it didn't finish him off. It allow for Godou to have a fighting chance.

Then with the change in the situation, Liliana step in to assist Godou. Although this action helps Persues because he uses one of his abilities to turn Liliana against Godou. This doesn't present a problem because Godou doesn't want to hurt her. It does take time but eventually he bring Liliana around. However in the process of bringing her around he gets stabbed by Persues sword but it seem that Godou wanted something like this to happen because it allow him to use the camel which gives incredible stamina and great leg strength. This power allow for Godou to corner Persues while Liliana pins him to the ground with an arrow. Now with him trapped Godou can use the boar to crush him, leading to his defeat.

Then with Persues defeat, Godou faints from exhaustion. Then when Liliana is about to kiss Godou for the sake of healing him. Her chance gets stolen by the appearance of Athena who kiss him instead because Liliana was too slow. Then kiss him again just because she felt like it. It seems that she is interested in Godou saying that they will met again. Also it seems that she expecting that Godou wouldn't finish Persues off, that is why she finished him off. Whether it was because she hated him or that Athena didn't want Persues to trouble Godou in the future is unclear. Although it seems that Doni had a similar idea for different reasons. Things end with Liliana nursing him back to health, but Godou is happy to see Erika and Mariya when he wakes up. Although this doesn't last long when it clear that they are displeased with his new relationship with Liliana and this concludes the latest arc.
