| − | |||
| − | Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa— |
||
| − | |||
| − | Raindrops were falling in a storm. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire removed her drenched uniform, leaving herself only in underwear. She was tightly hugging Kamito who was shrouded in wavering divine power of darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Kamito... Hurry and come back..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her adorable cherry lips pleaded sadly. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pressed intimately together, her skin gave off mild warmth to warm up Kamito's body that was rapidly cooling down. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The divine power of fire residing within Claire was entering Kamito through their connected lips. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Divine power of fire and divine power of darkness mixed together then returned to Claire's body, circulating nonstop. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This was the ancient ritual kagura that her sister had told her about before they came to Ragna Ys. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Mm, I feel so hot..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire exhaled sweet breath. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It practically felt like Kamito was entering her body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Their skin, wet from the rain, was pressed tightly together. Claire had her lips against Kamito's lips as though greedily seeking the overflowing divine power of darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While panting in anguish, she desperately poured divine power of fire into Kamito. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Please... Kamito, wake... up—!" |
||
===Part 4=== |
===Part 4=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh— |
||
| − | |||
| − | After the mist of darkness coalesced, a terrifying thing appeared. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It looked like countless human body parts had been randomly attached together— |
||
| − | |||
| − | The xenomorphic body had eight arms sprouting from it, writhing nonstop in mud of darkness that was melting and falling off. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the center of the mud, a golden eye, as round as the full moon, was glaring straight at Kamito. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Sensing an intense aura of death—Kamito could not help but cringe. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...This is the Darkness Elemental Lord—) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Only by covering his entire body in divine power could Kamito finally hold his ground against that aura. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Vorpal Sword in his hand was trembling mildly. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Are you okay? Restia—" |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'Yes...' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although her reply sounded very calm, Kamito understood very well. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Darkness Elemental Lord was her creator and master. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her standing in this distorted and unrecognizable form right now, had shaken Restia's heart and mind. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Keep your feelings in check. She has already become Otherworldly Darkness." |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Darkness Elemental Lord's avatar spoke mournfully. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '...I-I know—!' |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Vorpal Sword's blade erupted with jet-black lightning. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The monster of darkness narrowed its golden eye and emitted a noise that sound like burning. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '—My creator, Ren Ashdoll!' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Restia's anguished cry echoed in the darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'If the slightest part of your soul remains, please listen to me!' |
||
| − | |||
| − | "It is futile, darkness spirit, she is beyond helping—" |
||
| − | |||
| − | '...!' |
||
| − | |||
| − | The monster of darkness roared. Jet-black lightning shot out from its decayed mouth. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hell Blast—the top-tier spell of the darkness element. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The ball of darkness lightning, enough to erase high-level spirits, descended straight upon Kamito. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—Est!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Using the Demon Slayer's blade, Kamito deflected the ball of lightning as he raced through the mud. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The sound of lamentation was deafening. The monster's massive body shuddered violently before releasing miasma of darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Readied in Kamito's hand in a reverse grip, the Vorpal Sword emitted exceptionally intense black light. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '—Kamito, let her rest in peace.' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hearing Restia's voice, filled with determination, Kamito silently nodded. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Ohhhhhhhhhhh!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Wielding the black and white swords in his hands, Kamito ran. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This dark space was inside Kamito's own soul. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, his body basically felt as though he were in the real world. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...So I can't do anything crazy, huh?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | There was a limit to how much divine power he could use. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Besides, there was a time limit running against him. He must destroy this monster before his soul was completely devoured. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Using divine power to clear away the mud on the ground, Kamito jumped. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Absolute Blade Arts, Third Form—Shadowmoon Waltz!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Tracing out a curve, the slash severed three of the monster's arms. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Dark miasma spurted out like blood. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The miasma, whose mere contact brought death, was absorbed by the Vorpal Sword's blade. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'Leave the Otherworldly Darkness to me, Kamito, and focus on the main body—' |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—Yeah, I know!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito swung around, chopping off another arm. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Where the monster's arm fell, a terrifying bubble appeared. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...What is that?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | The four arms chopped off by Kamito were transforming inside their respective bubble, turning into four demon dragons. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito charged straight into the group of demon dragons. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Absolute Blade Arts, Third Form—Shadowmoon Waltz, Blade Shadow!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Instantly slaying the four demon dragons, Kamito continued to charge. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He made his way towards that gigantic eyeball, shining with golden light, restless in the center of the darkness— |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Absolute Blade Arts, First Form—Purple Lightning!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | He unleashed the Absolute Blade Art of divine speed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! |
||
| − | |||
| − | The monster screamed. The demon sword of darkness had pierced its golden eye. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—O blade formed from true darkness, devour the Otherworldly Darkness and make it your power!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito shouted. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With a glow of divine power of the Vorpal Sword's blade, the dark miasma was completely absorbed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | —But in the next instant, the golden eye suddenly squirmed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What...!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Glowing divine power was sucked into the eye that was like a vortex— |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Guh, ahhhhhhhh!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | '—Kamito!?' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Together with his two swords, Kamito was sucked into the Darkness Elemental Lord's body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Part 5=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Kamito!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | A bit of breath escaped from a gap between the two superimposed pair of lips. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire jumped in surprise and placed her fingers on Kamito's chest. |
||
| − | |||
| − | His heart was beating hard. The circulating divine power had activated his body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (But...) |
||
| − | |||
| − | After a brief relief, Claire's expression turned stiff again. |
||
| − | ...Kamito did not regain consciousness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The endless flow of the divine power of darkness did not stop. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At this rate, even if his life was not in danger— |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Uh... Guh..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Just then, Kamito's expression twisted in pain. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Kamito..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire gently touched his cheek. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (Kamito is fighting this darkness right now...) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ...In that case, I must fight alongside him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Because I am... your master. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her long crimson hair, drenched in the rain, became enveloped in blazing flames. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (Let me use my flames to purify your darkness—!) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Part 6=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...Was I careless?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito struggled in the mud-like darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There was nothing around him. He could not even see the light of divine power released from his own body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This was complete nothingness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...This is the darkness that drives Elemental Lords insane?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito gripped his two swords tightly. This was the only tangible sensation. |
||
| − | |||
| − | But— |
||
| − | |||
| − | How could he escape from this darkness that could even rob divine power? |
||
| − | |||
| − | —Just then, inside the darkness, a red light appeared. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...What?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was a flame glowing like a red lotus. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This was also the most noble and beautiful flame in Kamito's memory. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The flame turned its surroundings into a sea of fire, swallowing the darkness like a ferocious lion. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...What... W-Wait—!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Swallowing darkness, the fire kept expanding and approached Kamito. |
||
| − | |||
| − | But incredibly, Kamito did not feel fear. The flames engulfed Kamito— |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the next instant, Kamito was standing in the center of a howling vortext of fire. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In front of him was the Darkness Elemental Lord that had turned into a monster— |
||
| − | |||
| − | It reached out to grab Kamito with its terrifying arm, but the howling flames burned intensely as though protecting Kamito, forbidding it from touching Kamito. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Could this be the lost Fire of the Origin!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Darkness Elemental Lord's avatar widened her golden eye and exclaimed in surprise. |
||
| − | |||
| − | —In other words, she wasn't the one providing this flame to cover me? |
||
| − | |||
| − | Roar! |
||
| − | |||
| − | The flames rose up violently. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The blazing flames raced across the ground, incinerating the Otherworldly Darkness completely. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Darkness Elemental Lord faltered as though in fear. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh— |
||
| − | |||
| − | Filled with rage and lamentation, the roar echoed throughout this dark space. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'This is Miss Hell Cat's fire—' |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Claire's?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito was reassured. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (I see, this flame is—) |
||
| − | |||
| − | He had seen it a number of times before. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This was not the power of spirits. Instead, it was the Elstein Flame residing within Claire. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The End of Vermilion contrasting with Rubia's Absolute Zero. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...Claire, could it be that you're by my side?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito could not help but look up and ask. |
||
| − | |||
| − | No answer. But at his feet, the flames burned with even greater intensity. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He could feel Claire's presence. This was the noble and brilliant flame he had felt the first time he saw her blade dance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (So you're by my side, Claire—) |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the ring of fiercely burning fire— |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito poured divine power into his two swords and faced off against the Lord of Darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "My master is waiting for me, so I can't lose here!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | The monster of darkness roared, its giant body approaching. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito took a mighty leap with the release of divine power, jumping at the head of the monster of darkness in one g o. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The monster swung its arm, trying to grab Kamito as he moved through the air, but— |
||
| − | |||
| − | As though protecting Kamito, flames rose up and deflected the monster's gigantic arm like a whip. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—We're doing this, Restia!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'Yes!' |
||
| − | |||
| − | The jet-black lightning on the Vorpal Sword surged—! |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Absolute Blade Arts, Destructive Form—Bursting Blossom Spiral Blade Dance, Eighteen Consecutive Strikes!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the darkness, flashes of sword and lightning dashed through the air. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The monster's arms were chopped and sent flying. Layer by layer, dark miasma was peeled off. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito stabbed the demon sword into the monster's gigantic golden eye— |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Will it work, Restia!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'Yes, because this Darkness is mine—' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito poured all of his divine power into the Vorpal Sword. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Lightning of darkness went on a rampage inside the monster's body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The true darkness corrupting the Darkness Elemental Lord turned the demon sword's blade jet black in color. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Next— |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! |
||
| − | |||
| − | After roaring on the verge of death, the berserk Darkness Elemental Lord finally perished. |
||
| − | |||
| − | —As the Darkness Elemental Lord vanished, Kamito's world collapsed at the same time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The ground crumbled and Kamito fell into space. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '—You will inherit the Darkness Elemental Lord's will and power.' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito heard the avatar's voice in his mind. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'My mission ends here. My adorable child—Ren Ashbell.' |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Mission... What happens to you next...?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'The objective is achieved. I shall vanish and presumably turn into part of your divine power.' |
||
| − | |||
| − | "I see—" |
||
| − | |||
| − | A falling black feather touched Kamito's cheek. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 'I entrust the rest to you, my adorable child—' |
||
| − | |||
| − | The voice was interrupted and Kamito's view became dominated by blinding light. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | ===Part 7=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—to... Kamito!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | He opened his eyes— |
||
| − | |||
| − | A beautiful young maiden in underwear was on top of Kamito's body. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her long crimson hair was wet and her ruby-like eyes were moist with tears. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Having absorbed water, her lacy underwear clung tightly to her skin, translucent. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Clai... re." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Huah, Kamito!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | As soon as Kamito spoke, Claire widened her eyes in surprise. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...I'm so glad, you turned back to the original Kamito." |
||
| − | |||
| − | She embraced Kamito's head tightly all at once. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although small, the sensation of her breasts made Kamito's heart race. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire's thumping heartbeat was transmitting to him through her thoroughly wet underwear. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Traces of tears remained on her face, she was probably worried the whole time for Kamito who had been devoured by the power of darkness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The rain had stopped. |
||
| − | |||
| − | From gaps in the clouds, the blue sky was visible. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...Sorry for making you worry." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Slowly sitting up, Kamito then stroked Claire's head. |
||
| − | [[image:STnBD V20 BW01.jpg|thumb]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What happened? What on earth was that black miasma..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "It was the divine power of the Darkness Elemental Lord sleeping inside me." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito looked the back of his left hand. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The spirit seal of darkness, consisting of an intersecting moon and sword, was silently glowing. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "However, she's vanished. That power has been inherited by me and Restia—" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What happened?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "I'll save the details for later." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...You're right, we have to meet up with Rinslet and the others first." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito stood up. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "B-By the way, Claire..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Blushing, Kamito turned his gaze to the sky. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Umm, anyway, I think it's better if you put some clothes on." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...H-Huahh!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire frantically summoned Scarlet to cover up her wet chest. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Y-You got the wrong idea! I-I was using the ritual Nee-sama taught me—" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire's twintails jumped. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Ritual?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "She said when the power of darkness devours you, this ritual can suppress it." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hugging Scarlet, Claire spoke quietly in embarrassment. |
||
| − | |||
| − | (...I see, so that flame really was Claire's fire.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito figured it out in his thoughts. Her flame element had manifested in Kamito's consciousness after mixing his divine power of darkness together with her own divine power of fire. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Meow!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | All covered in fire, Scarlet instantly dried their uniforms. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire stood up and rapidly fastened her skirt. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito turned his gaze away from Claire while she was getting dressed. At the same time, he said: |
||
| − | |||
| − | "...By the way, where are we?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Somewhere in the vast forest below Ragna Ys." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire looked up at the clear sky. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the distant sky, fragments of Ragna Ys were floating. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What on earth happened?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "I don't know. The Holy Capital suddenly released a beam of light, then that light sliced apart the land of Ragna Ys. We fell into the forest and got separated from the others." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "The Holy Lord's power, huh?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Previously, the revived Holy Lord had used that power to slice the Demon King City into two. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, to think that the sturdy ground of Ragna Ys, which even archdemon-class spirits were unable to damage, could be destroyed so thoroughly— |
||
| − | |||
| − | "That is my power, Kamito." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Lying on the ground, the Demon Slayer suddenly spoke. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Est, what do you mean?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kamito frowned. Just then... |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Kamito, look!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire pointed at the sky and shouted. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her gaze was directed at a large demon bird flying in the air. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Isn't that Simorgh!?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Ellis has found us." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Pointing at the sky, Claire quickly recited an incantation. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Explode—Flare Burst!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Numerous small fireballs flew from her fingertips and exploded like fireworks. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Looking quite spectacular but lacking firepower, it was spirit magic for causing diversions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ellis apparently noticed it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Simorgh circled quickly in the air then landed in the forest. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Part 8=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Holy Capital of Alexandros. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It had manifested where it was almost superimposed with the Elemental Lords' shrine. At its center— |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gates to the Origin had been opened. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fire Elemental Lord Volcanicus and Earth Elemental Lord Lode Gear. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Shooting up into the sky, the pillars of light had gouged holes in Astral Zero's sky. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although they were large enough for lower-level angels to descend, they were not enough. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Only when all the Gates had been opened would ''her'' wish come true. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Looking down at the wide streets of the Holy Capital, Areishia, i.e. Alexandros, spoke. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "He appears to have been devoured by the Darkness Elemental Lord." |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Holy Lord with the Sacred Maiden's appearance silently turned around. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There was a girl with long silver hair, standing there expressionlessly with her head tilted. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Sacred Sword—Terminus Est. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After the battle against Demon King Solomon, she had sealed herself in Astral Zero. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, after obtaining Areishia's physical body, the Holy Lord had reactivated the contract and summoned her. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "She has come to destroy me, I suppose, to destroy me and all of the Elemental Lords—" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Yes, I sense it too." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What he holds, is another sacred sword?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Est shook her head expressionlessly. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "That is another entity, already separated from me." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "—I see, so that is why she did not respond to my contract." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Sacred Maiden Areishia shrugged. Although that Est had apparently gone so far as to betray the original contract and become the Demon King's sword, her power was far inferior to this Terminus Est. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Areishia stared up at the void piercing the sky. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Everything was going according to plan. The Wind Elemental Lord and the Water Elemental Lord were about to open as Gates too. |
