""Pride" vs. "Love""
Simply being near Escanor is enough to feel the heat that would make the armor melt.
Once Escanor confirms the direction of a nearby lake with Ban,
he blows Estarossa off there.
He hits the bottom of the lake with the sunball and the lake and it explodes there.
The lake entirely evaporates.
When Estarossa recovers from the damage,
Estarossa: "Shall we settle this right now?"
Escanor: "…I agree solely to your comment."
Estarossa envelops Escanor's sunball in the darkness and repels it with Full Counter.
…or it would look like he did but there's still over 1 hour to noon.
"My attack doesn't work on you? Who decided it?"
Estarossa's pectorals get cut up in one horizontal stroke.
"You enveloped my sun? Who decided it?"
Pridecanor plunges his hand in the darkness and takes out the sun even bigger than before it got enveloped.
[TN: The Japanese for Pridecanor, which I chose to use, is 我カノール. It may not be a 1:1 translation here.]
"The one who decides it is me."
Zeldris is trying to be of assistance but doesn't make it in time!
End texts: "A merciless attack that even reduces love to cinders!!!"
"Escanor's almighty attack that burns Estarossa to nothing!!! The duel of titans ends here!!!!"
To be continued in chapter 186 / Defensive battle at Liones.Praise the Sun!

I'm sure Estarossa is going to survive, but damn, nothing can stop Escanor.
Now I wonder why they let the demons run one month instead of using Escanor every morning.

Probably took a month to regather the scatered holy knights after all the chaos broke loose.
>>144604667
But who need those when you have Escanor?
what if the author actually decides to put an end to this 'taking turns one upping each other' thing and just makes escanor invincible and the only solution is to attack him at night

Merlin and Gowther can deplete him power with magic.
>>144605287
deplete?
Last time Gowther did that, Escanor became powerful.

It's actually a bit fresh to see the side characters off people more often, instead of the standard jobbing into MC cleanup duty.

They need knight fodder to handle the demon fodder.
>>144605450
No, i mean Edinburg arch.

Eh, he let his guard down
