"I'm Lily's father." "Lily's... father..." I was struggling to comprehend what was going on. From her story, I had always though that her father was dead. Yet this person standing before me was claiming to be her father. "Well, I don't have much else to say to you." I picked up my sword off the ground. "I'll tell Lily you said hi, okay?" He turned his back on me. "Universal Sword, Sixth Form, Break." "Huh?" The shockwave produced from my attack tore into his back, ripping his clothing and drawing blood. He winced in pain, seemingly surprised by my attack. "What is wrong with you?" He drew his sword again. "I don't care who you are, you better expect pain if you think attacking me out of the blue is acceptable." "Stop it, I let you live!" "Should I be grateful for you mercy now?" He poised himself to fight, holding his sword in front with his two feet planted firmly into the ground. "You're going to regret this." "Universal Sword, Third Form, Arctic Blizzard!" My en
"Ritsu~" "Huh?" I opened my eyes to see myself greeted by a goddess with a huge smile on her face. We were back in the weird blue afterlife place. There was a slight ripple effect from where my hand touched the ground. This was definitely the same place I was at that one time. "Welcome back!" She opened her welcoming arms towards me. "Hey, Freya." "I've missed you~" It was somewhat adorable, the way she was acting. "So what brings me here?" "I wanted to see you of course!" "Was that the only reason?" "I wish it were." I braced myself for some news. "Your sister recently just died." "My sister?" "Oh yeah. You don't have your memory at the moment." "Yeah." "Well I think it should be fair for me to tell you some information about your pasts. Although I still don't have all the information." I was actually quite interested in my past now. After hearing so much about it, I couldn't help but be curious. "So..." "Alright so before this, you had two lives." It was about
"Musical Sword, First Form, Triplet Rhythm." Powerful shockwaves were sprayed towards Ferren, they came in three waves, crashing into him as he blocked with his sword. His technique was still as clean as ever, rediverting the force of the attacks, cracking the ground beneath him. On his way to find his 'daughter' Lily, he suddenly found himself in a skirmish with one of Reid's soldiers. They were a quite powerful one at that, having access to a unique magical sword. He had just gotten away from Ritsu, who had embarrassed him, defeating him with relative ease after using his advanced forms. Stabilising on the rough ground, Ferren got into an attacking posture. "Musical Sword, Forth Form, Dissonance Score." Suddenly a painful, disorienting sounds protruded from the soldier's blade. This caused Ferren to somewhat lose his balance, almost falling to the ground. Still continuing the attack, the soldier rushed towards him, raising his sword above his head. Just as it looked like Ferre
"Here they come." Muichiro, Mal and Lily were the last line of defence, the various other guards and soldiers they had at their disposal would serve nothing more than a simple distraction when Reid finally made his way here. They had maybe sixty personnel in total, all armed with a myriad of different weapons and of all different levels of skill. The three strongest drew their swords, every second they bought was another second in which Ritsu and Lucia would be able to make their escape. Everyone in the surrounding area braced for what was about to come next. It all began when a few of Reid's soldier's streamed in, reaching the outer fence of the mansion. They were instantly confronted by the garrison, holding onto the outer fence. Brutal fighting took place, swords were swung, explosions and blood seethed all across the battlefield. The first group of around twenty soldiers who seemed to have mostly consisted of scouts, were quickly wiped out. However, the second wave would prove a
Reid drew one of his swords, the devil sword. He was up against Muichiro and Mal. Lily had confronted Finn, who was the owner of the light sword. The desperate battle would commence. * "Devil Sword, First Sword, Bereshit." Reid thrusted his sword towards Muichiro who was forced to react with extremely minimal time. Reid's attack was extremely fast, the likes of which Muichiro had practically never seen before. He unleashed his Royal Art as fast as he could. "Royal Arts, Itto Raikiri!" He swung his scythe as fast as he could, forming a gigantic cloud of dust, circling the area. However, it was still not swift enough to completely block Reid's attack, receiving cuts on his wrist and arm. Reid advanced upon Muichiro but then was forced to block an attack from Mal. "Royal Arts, Explode." The attack managed to connect with Reid, however, despite how strong it was, it still did minimal damage, doing nothing more than simply soiling Reid's clothing and giving him a slight irritation
Lily raised her sword and prepared to face the opponent in front of her. She braced herself for a quick decisive victory. He was merely one of Reid's peons after all. However, he had other plans "You better not think of me as second fry, you'll regret it." * Finn stood firmly in the ground, showing no sign of attacking. Somewhat hurried, Lily quickly drew her sword and dashed towards him. "Royal Arts, Blitzing Orchid!" Her sword gleamed with a tint of white as it swung towards Finn. It was her fastest attack, as the sword travelled towards Finn, it suddenly sped up, supposed to catch him off-guard. "Calm down won't you? We're in no rush here." He was already in a defensive position so deflecting the attack was easily, it was all fully within his expectations. "Light Sword, Third Form, Full-Colour Spectrum." Rays of vibrant multi-coloured light was scattered all throughout the area as he swiped Lily's sword to the ground. Her sword smashed into the ground with a clang and
What really happened three years ago? Was the perpetrator really Reid? Or was it someone else? Who else was there at the time? * "Lily!" A loud voice came from the distance. "No way..." She muttered. She could not believe what she saw. A middle-aged man, running towards them. "I don't understand..." Eventually, he made his way over and stood in front of her. His dirtied formal clothes and caring demeanour. Lily couldn't understand any of it. "Dad, why are you still alive?" "Lily, believe me when I say this, I truly wished for the best for all of you." He was so narrow-minded at the time that he hadn't even noticed that Reid was standing right next to them. As soon as he saw Reid, his expression darkened. After the awkward, confusing reunion between them, Reid finally decided to drop some exposition. "Here's the person who killed your entire village." He said. "What...?" Lily was in utter confusion. Suddenly, Ferren drew his sword and rushed towards Reid, trying to kill
"What do you mean you have a plan?" I asked. "Our mission is to protect the princess, correct?" "Yes...?" "Reid's mission is to kill the princess, right?" "Yes...?" "The missions aren't very specific." "I suppose." "First of all, I'm pretty sure the mission is to kill the person named 'Lucia Ourania', this means her status as princess is irrelevant. Second of all, I've deduced that Reid does not know what she looks like, from observing him, there is a good chance that Reid's mission is worded differently from ours." "Wait, so you're saying that their might be a way for us both to complete our missions?" "Not exactly, I'm basing it off the idea that neither of our sides know what the reward is, meaning, all we need to do is make it seem like Reid has completed his side of the mission." "How do we do that? Are we going to have someone pretend to be the princess?" "Based off his actions, I'm assuming his mission is not as straight forward as 'kill Princess Lucia'. He's been her
