"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
A string of explosions rang out across the Consecrated Snowfield in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
The entire mountain range shook, and two avalanches had already occurred.
The one responsible for all this was the renowned Starscourge, Radahn, the "Red Lion."
Fighting him were "Miquella's Blade," the Valkyrie Malenia, and Morgott, who went by the alias "Margit."
Originally, Malenia had been the one to intercept Radahn.
But the avalanches had made it difficult for either army to maneuver.
So it had ultimately become a duel between Demigods. Radahn fought two Demigods alone, chopping down relentlessly with his Starscourge Greatswords and giving them no chance to catch their breath.
Morgott had been pursuing Radahn from behind. Only thanks to Malenia stopping Radahn had he finally caught up.
Indeed, Radahn had led the Redmane Army around the tough nut that was Stormveil Castle, skirted Leyndell, and marched straight into the Mountaintops of the Giants.
This was Morgott's second clash with Radahn.
The first had been at Stormveil Castle.
But Morgott had been at a disadvantage, and the reason was his shackles.
He had been wearing shackles imbued with golden magic all along, and they severely limited his capabilities.

Much had happened between Radahn taking command of the Redmane Army, devising his detour, and attacking the Haligtree in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
But for now, the focus was on what lay before them.
This was also Malenia's second fight with Radahn.
This time, she could clearly feel that Radahn was stronger than he had
