A fleeting moment before his eyes, as if it were yesterday.
Odysseus recalled the earnest advice of his father and the dreams he had pursued in his youth.
He still remembered the first time he heard of Prince Theseus of Athens's adventurous tale, how he had sworn in his heart.

From stillness to extreme speed, it took merely a fleeting moment.
In the next instant, the sharp alchemy longsword halted before a figure with only one arm.
Whoosh——!
