Valt isn't some backwater blader, this boy is the Legend of Legends, the strongest blader in the world, it's perfectly reasonable that he could take down Lane. In addition we've some legends be able to at least hold their own in a 1v1 with Lane. Silas for example. Though he lost, he was battling Lane by himself and lost by a survivor finish. No Burst. So it makes sense that Valt who is a stronger blader, would be able to take Lane down. Lucius was fully flared up, at full power when he got hit with Brave Sword. While I don't believe that Limit Break The End would necessarily KO Valtryek (It's not some kind of instant win button) Rantaro did provide an opening for Valt to take him out with his raw power. Valt defeated him, straight up knocked him out. There's nothing unreasonable about that.
Limit Break The End is really just an instant kill button. A serious smash attack that no one has survive other than Spriggan with its burst stopper. If Shu would get destroyed by it, I don't think Valt would have a good chance of survival either. That's why Rantaro had to sacrifice himself to produce the split second opening in the change of defenses. Not saying that Valt isn't strong, but under the circumstance of facing either one of Lean's special moves, he would have little chance to win.
While true no one as yet has survived it, that doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion that it's an instant win. Before Variant's barrier was defeated, no one had broken through it, didn't mean it was invincible and no one could break through it, as was eventually proved. The End Wall isn't an invincible shield either. With enough raw power it can be overcome, just as Variant's barrier was, and Valt is packing some amazing raw power.
