A week after the Lantern festival. All the council’s military troops lined up at the border of the eastern empire. Across the mountain-like walls were soldiers from the Eastern Empire. No one was making the first move yet. Both Western territory and Eastern empire were aware, without even making a declaration to one another, that war was on its way. We build a temporary base in Senna city. It brings back memories because this is the same city where the Inquisition knight commander attacked me and I met Kisara’s master. After the demon war Princess started, they said that the people living here evacuated with the help of some random masked man. Seven tears later, a few people came back here to continue living. Sister Maria was not among them. Stepping back here, remembering the kids and her, made me worried about what happened to them. I was sitting at the roundtable with the council members. In the room was a giant monitor that displayed the plan. Mukuro and Scarlet explain every
“How is this happening?” Charlotte was confused. The emperor is charging toward Charlotte with his flaming fist. I grabbed Charlotte’s arm and swung her down to the ground below. I then countered the fist with my own flaming fist. “Flaming Scarlet fist!” Charlotte has consumed much of her energy. She cannot just teleport back to where she came from. In the first place, how are we here with him? Our flames formed a giant ball and then exploded. Sending us both in the distance, nearly pushing me down to the pool of lava. “Charlotte, how many minutes?” “About 30 minutes… I only have 12% of my energy left.” “That much was taken away?” “I’m confused myself… I don’t understand, I’m sure I only aimed my ability at him… Gyaaaaa--!!” Charlotte was taken inside a cube. “Spell number 16: Dimension cage! The dimension box was excluded from this dimension. Teleportation or any means of escape was futile as long as the caster had enough energy to keep its walls thick.” The emperor, being
A man with the same face as me stood right before my eyes. He gazed at me with his hollow eyes and charged forward with amazing speed. Kneeing me and he swings his sword widely, cleaving the ground. I was able to defend myself to parry his attack but still, the force of his word colliding into mine was still too powerful. The force of the impact sends me flying crashing into the giant boulder of rock. The boulder broke and rumbles came falling on my body. Before I’m given time to stand up back on my feet. The emperor was already in front of me. He stomps my chest down to the ground. Lava plums burst. I curled my fist enveloped by flames and to the counter. But he moves as if he knows what's about to unfold. Right about his head flaming sword emerges and penetrated my body. The blades took deep down on my flesh and to the ground. He stomps on my chest again and sings his scarlet blade cutting both of my horns. The strength I receive in my demon form immediately runs down. My skin
While the emperor is staggered from my punch. I advance to swing my dagger. He tilted his head at the last moment to dodge. He wasn’t able to completely dodge the dagger. Beads of red appeared on his cheeks rolling down to his chin. As expected of me, the cut healed immediately. At that time, I knew that this battle will never be brief. Unlike other demon-kinds, my body doesn’t have a gem heart. Even if I’m plunged deep in lava, as long I have still the energy remaining to regenerate, I can still live. The only way to defeat me was to drain my energy. His severed sword has its flesh stretching out to the main body. It retracted itself back and heal in seconds. He brandished his sword and said: “Round two.” The emperor swung his sword in a square pattern. I jump high up and upon landing the ground breaks and lava ate the breaking ground. I misjudge him… He didn’t aim at me. He aimed at my landing spot. But the landing area is not really a problem for me. With my bursting flame
After Charlotte Failed to kill The emperor or the future Riku. Towering flames were seen from afar. The flames reach the sky pulling dark clouds. In split second, a heavy feeling drags their body down. Not only Charlotte and Riku, as well some other nearby nations the volcanic island. Their chest was tightening out. Oxygen was pulled upwards by the giant towering flames together with the remaining life blessing nearby. All blessed energy went to the emperor's body. Restoring his energy pool back to normal. Without a doubt, a cheat ability! Maybe, an ability only he can do. Supposedly, Riku could do it, but in his current self, there is just no way he can restore back his energy pool like this. There is no way Riku and Charlotte knew about what was going on. However, anyone who can see the flames reaching the sky knows that the one responsible for this is all-powerful. The emperor flies back to the volcano island like a rocket landing down with an impact. The emperor was unscattered
The massive force from Riku’s fist channeled down into the volcano, causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of felt earthquakes. Noticeable streaming or fumarolic activity and new enlarged areas of hot ground. Followed by subtle swelling of the ground surface and small changes in the heat flow. Lava plumes out from the ground. The place definitely became dangerous. Dangerous but these two who had only one desire to kill each other stay in ignorance and continue their battle. Charlotte’s body was sealed down in a pocket dimension. Meaning she is safe from anything happening outside. Without anything holding Riku back, Rku will give him all to defeat the powerful one in his own image. Riku clenched his fist bursting with blue flames. “Explosion!” His fist made another direct hit. That's what he thought… Right now, the emperor catches Riku’s fist clenching it so hard trying to break it down. Little by little, the emperor stood up on his fist pushing forward. Red and blue f
Snow clouds, icy wind, and trees without leaves. Everywhere was surrounded by all white. There a certain girl with pink hair could be found. Kisara wonders alone in the snowing woods in the far northern region of the Eastern empire. Covered with a thick scarf and winter clothes her breath produce chilly fog. This cold sensation she’s feeling is unnatural. Normally, Kisara can regulate her body temperature by controlling her heat. She don’t know why, but if she wanted to survive she better took shelter as soon as possible and have rest to recover her energy. “This cold… Could it be? This is an ability?” Kisara asked herself. She took off the glove covering her right hand and from the tip of her index finger she produce flames. After the ember ignited, the flames suddenly disappeared. “Something is sucking my energy.” Confirming her suspicion, Kisara turned around her using her demon-kind sense. No one is around me… What is this feeling? I’m sure something is sucking my energy. She
“Killing? Don’t joke around… Kisara’s family has nothing to do with anything. They’re innocent.” Aqua leaped backward and raises her bow with freezing arrows. “... Aqua, I’m your family and we seven sisters are the only ones that will stay with each other. Father already sealed our four sisters in the heavenly realm. They’ll be in despair at that side for eternity. They’ll gaze down at us with envy and their desire will never be fulfilled. Do you want to end up like Terra?” Selene disappeared from the place she was standing and reappeared right behind Aqua. Hugging her from behind. Her embrace was filled with the warmth that Aqua longed for for thousands of years. The big sister took care of her and made her smile since they are born. The angel that never ignored her and always played with her. The sister always stayed by her side for better or worse until they were separated. “Big sister Selene… I have always been…” Aqua started welling up tears as emotion started to overtake her
