I crossed the deep forest and I saw a girl fighting with a bunch of demons. She was exhausted and barely held her sword. She let her guard down and the 5 demons. I covered my face with the hood of my cloak and helped the girl.
"W–Who are you—"
Shoot! It's Yuna, i get away as fast as i can and straight ahead to the palace. But first, I have to cross the city first before I arrive at the palace.
From what I can see. People from this land were just inside. This place is just totally ruined. No one is around. It was like an abandoned building. I went straight ahead to the gate of the palace. Their huge demons are guarding them.
"Sun Art, Hidden Flames!"
No one can see Hidden Flames. The flames are unseeable. They are called "Cursed Flames.
I swung my sword without touching them and killed them in an instant.
"Hey, get out of here, it's dangerous here. If you happen to be a cop, go to the sea by following that path. If you want to stay, hide and wait for the others to arrive."
"Wait a minute… Who are you?"
"No one, just a traveler."
"It's dangerous to go inside. You have to get away from this place."
"Don't mind me, it's fine, I have things to do inside. See you then—"
"Wait a minute… Can I come with you inside?"
"You look exhausted, give rest to yourself."
"I also have things to do inside."
As we entered inside like we were going to assassinate someone, The girl kept questioning what am i doing inside.
I just ignored her but at the time I really focused on looking at her, it surprised me that this girl with me right now was Yuna.
"Uh…"
I flee and straight to the gate of the palace. There are two big monsters guarding the gate. I was in a hurry to kill them without any notice.
As I entered inside, I headed to the main room where the prince was sitting. I destroyed the door and it ended up facing their sword.
I rushed to attack the prince, but there was a boy who interfered with me, blocked my sword, and tried to freeze me.
"Who the hell are you—"
"Get the hell out of my way."
Two girls appear behind me. They are ridiculously faster than I expected. Their movement was absolutely very fast. I barely manage to block their attacks. These girls are a legendary duo.
I pushed them back and talked.
"Hey, is this really what you wanted?"
"What do you mean by that, kid?"
"Do you really obey those angels?"
"Well, since our leader disappears, we don't have a choice but to obey them. So, why do you ask?"
"What if I said, your leader has come to defeat angels?"
"If she came back, we would absolutely devote ourselves to her again, simple, right?"
"That's betraying—"
"I didn't betray my race. Unlike the other demons, they probably betrayed us already. But I'm different, I always believe that our leader will come to us. That's enough, you know too much now, you have to die—"
Without summoning her, she was forced to get out of my body of her own will.
Black smoke appears, and Amatsuru has shown up which gave me a chill.
"Tsukihiro, What are you doing, didn't I say to do your mission?"
I summoned Amatsuru and she gave me a chill.
"For all this time, Amatsuru-sama! I'm here again to serve you… Amatsuru-sama, what are you doing with that human?!"
"Annoying as ever, I will be staying inside for the time being. So, what's happened to your duties now?"
"Wait a minute, Everyone, lower your weapons. Also, go out, I have something to discuss with these two."
He tells us about this situation. A few months ago when the fight started, Dark X Demon was ordered to conquer the remaining land. The reason is to find the five princesses. And the reason for looking for five princesses is to obtain their trumpets which are the remaining trumpets.
Just like what we talked about last time, it says that Anima has a chance to be awake by completing all the trumpets. That's why this is part of our problems. We are the people who have to save the world. That's my dream, to save the world—.
Huh? Do I have a proper dream? What was it again? I was already in my first year and was going to be in college soon. I must choose the path that I want. But what was my dream again? What is the thing I want from the very beginning?
"Amatsuru, what do I want again?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you sick?"
"I'm serious."
"Hey, are you really serious? It's like you aren't yourself."
"Well, it's kinda like that, something happens to my head"
"Let me touch your head."
After she touched my head, she told me that I'm starting to gain my memories. In just a few days, I'll be going back to my old self. There are possibilities that I will forget everything I've known after I get amnesia.
"There is no time for this, we have to destroy all the demon ranking—"
"That's impossible. In your current self, you can't defeat the Demon God. Well, you right now, it seems you are capable of defeating Dark X Demons."
"Want me to try?"
"Try it— Oh… Don't do it, unless Amatsuru-sama gives me an order. Can i Amatsuru-sama?"
"Do as you wish if you want to disappear."
"Hehe, don't joke like that Amatsuru-sama…"
"Well, that's not a joke. Without my power, he can defeat each one of Dark X Demons."
"Alright then, I'll withdraw for now. Then, what are we going to do now Amatsuru-sama?"
"I'm going to gather all demons. We will start gathering the Archdemons."
"The Archdemons have not been activated for decades, I didn't have any contact with them. But with your power, you might talk with them using the Demon world, where Archdemons can also enter. "
"Nothing is left inside the Demon's world. Something happens after I disappear."
"But I have only known one of them."
"Lucifer, right? That brat! So, where is he?"
"Probably, with those angels who are pulling these demons' rank."
"It's so strange that higher-rank demons don't show up."
"That's not the case. Higher rank demons have been fighting the pillars since those pillars have gone too strong in a short time. If the higher rank happens to know that there is a person here who is parred with the Pillar, one of them might show up here—"
"Tsukihiro, you seem to know a lot"
"You traitor"
"We'll send your head to the master"
Three Dark X Demons have shown up. Those guys may have already started the plan.
I heard a voice come from my head. This voice is very familiar. It was the same person who entered my consciousness last time.
"Hey, brat, what's the situation inside there?"
"You are the fifth Division captain? The situation is alright, I'm talking with the demons properly, and I have information from them now, I'll talk later. 3 Dark X Demons have appeared, we'd like to have a backup as soon as possible."
"We also have an opponent here. One of Dark X Demons is here, we can't back up you right now. Be careful kid, pull that off somehow and wait for us."
It seems those demons planned this thing. Since they have an opponent, I have to ask for the demon's help.
"Hey, lend me help."
"Don't ask for the impossible. Those are higher than me. We are outnumbered, we don't have a chance. Amatsuru-sama, let's retreat."
Right… Why did I ask that damn thing?
"Hey, Amatsuru, can I take off my right hand's bandage?"
"Just loosen it off, if you don't have a choice then take it off, just the right one."
"What's with that bandage?"
"Sit down and watch him."
I loosen it up. It was not the same as before. I loosen up in half, it will be more powerful than the last time.
"Won't you use your sword?"
"Nah, it might break if I touch it. Also, it's dangerous to use that since my heart is connected to that sword."
Now, go! Show me what you got."
"Fiery Blast!"
An instant fire explosion to the enemy destroyed the whole ceiling.
One of them appears from my above following with his kick. I blocked it with my left arm and the other two appeared from my sides.
I gripped my hand to their feet and used a heavenly sphere. They ripped off their feet to escape.
"Amatsuru, drive everyone out of the palace."
"The shadow guy already did it, Tsukihiro already removed the manipulation magic. If you'd like me to help you I'll give you a hand since there are still many enemies, we need to hurry."
"No, I don't know if some of them can manage DX Demons, so help the others fight the DX Demon."
"Tsukihiro, I'll leave you there, if Arisu happens to need help, help him."
"If you say so… No, Understood Amatsuru-sama."
Amatsuru went to fight the other DX Demons. I told Tsukihiro to go to the sea in the north and meet Kajiro. I told him to tell Kajiro that DX Demons have appeared in the city.
The demons I was fighting with changed their appearance. Their power increases and the reek of their blood becomes stronger. If they are stronger than earlier, it will be tough to dodge their attacks since I'm alone. But if i remove my right hand's bandage fully, i can defeat these guys for a minute.
"Flame Dragon Form!"
"Earth Dragon Form!"
"Thunder Dragon Form!"
The whole palace gave in and was destroyed because of the transformation of the three DX Demons. On top of that, I didn't think that they were dragons from the start.
I teleported my kunai knife at the thunder dragon and used a Devastation fist on its back.
That devastation first took down the thunder dragon and fell to the ground. I teleported to the ground and used space magic.
"Summoning magic, Excalibur! Reality Eye created thousands of copies of Excalibur! Discharge!"
Summoning magic is a type of Space magic. And the Reality Eye was the same eye of Shynn that Amatsuru was talking about. I didn't know why I had it but it helps me to defeat this easily. Reality Eye can create something you make in your mind that becomes real. One of the dangerous powers.
After those dragons fell into the ground, there was something falling to the ground so I made a heavenly sphere for myself.
I didn't know that it was but it destroyed my heavenly sphere. They were heavenly swords.
"Oh? I didn't know some of Kitahara managed to survive that day. But that's not the case anymore, you are going to die—"
"Chain of freedom!"
Those chains attacked the demon, but they also attacked me.
The chain moves unpredictably. Some of them keep appearing on the ground and continuing to attack me. They move so fast.
A blue thunder strikes the chain. It was the attack from the thunder pillar.
"Asuwagi-san, what are you doing?!"
"I'm going to capture her, she is the one we need to capture. Also, her magic power is different. It might be dangerous if we let that girl do her things alone."
"Actually it's a boy. Anyway, there is no time to fight each other! We need to focus."
"Well, as if I can beat you. Well then, I'll let him fight with us but after, we'll capture him. Is that clear?"
"Alright! Alright!"
"I refu—"
"Just play along with me."
"I see."
The three dragons transformed again. The chain guy fights the DX Demon. The pillar girl helped me look down at the dragons.
The dragons overpowered us. They inhale and are about to howl together. My heavenly sphere might break because this dragon is different from the dragon I fought on the challenge at that time. These are the real dragons so I need to think carefully.
I sliced her skin a little to get her blood. I liked it so i can remember her blood. Using magic memory, it can only remember any type of spell such as teleportation spells.
I threw the kunai knife into the sky. At the time they are about to howl, I sense cold in the air and the 3 dragons instantly freeze.
"The freeze won't last any longer! Go1 attack them now!"
"Nice one! Partner!"
This is the blessing of the Sun Goddess, the Ultimate Blessing that the Goddess gave to us. The love of the sun goddess, This is…"
"Blissful Sun!"
Linking both my wrist and facing my palm towards the enemy. I released the magic that I used and it made a very huge impact that made smoke everywhere.
As the smoke faded away, the 3 dragons vanished. Their reeks are untrackable. From that attack, I felt that they already turned into dust.
"Who the hell is that guy? That's a Dark X Demon just like me. But he blew them up just like that. Also, there are three of them."
"He is the ultimate, that's why I'm here to capture him. But before that, I need to kill you first!"
Tokiro, Yukiha, and the others who fell into the manipulation magic gathered. All of them apologized to me sincerely. Since it wasn't intentional, I kind of like to have a game before forgiving them.
"So? What now?"
"Hmm… Wanna race?"
"That's unfair! You trained well enough while we were doing nothing."
"Don't worry. Yuna! Can you use your enchanter magic? Fuse my magic power with everyone here right now. We are going out once and for all."
"Man, you really became so powerful just in a short time. Well, it's Arisu, I won't be surprised."
I held her shoulder and she cast enchanting magic on everyone.
"This is so much! Just how much stronger did you get inside that half of the year?"
"None of this happens, maybe you guys will do better than me if you are in my situation."
"Don't be humble, you've been strong since we met that day."
I already fuse enough magic power to everyone. Now, it's time for a game.
"Listen everyone. Use and maximize your power to the limit. Participate in this game if you want forgiveness."
"I feel very light. It's like I'm different from my previous self!"
"Ready! 3… 2… 1… Go!"
Tokiro and I head to the deep forest where a bunch of demons is. An intense heavy rain falls from the sky. They suddenly stopped and turned into a sword and targeted every demon around.
"The Infinite Rain Destruction!"
"This is…"
"Yo! Yuzuha. Long time no see!"
"Hehe, sorry, I won this time. 173 kills overall!"
"As if we will lose! Right, Arisu—"
"Dragon's Roar, Instinction!"
From that roar, I've taken the greatest damage to the deep forest. The trees are burned into dust. You can only see the trace of a roar.
"I won already! That's more than 300 demons overall!"
"No way, that's cheating! You just guessed it!"
"Nah! I counted all of them with my sixth sense, which is that I can sense everything even if I close my eyes!"
Tokiro runs off deeper inside the deep forest. Everything he passes is freezing. This is the new Tokiro that I know. This is his specialty power, the freeze.
"6 Pillars! One! Two! Three! Four! Five! And the last one. The sixth pillar! The impact of victory!"
The ground shook. Some ground has split from that impact. It was like a nuclear bomb.
"Haha! That's more than 300 too!"
A girl showed up above us. I feel the pressure of angriness. It was Amatsuru who looked very pissed.
"What the hell are you doing Arisu? Are you fooling around again?!"
"Uh… Y-You know… I'm just like…Uh… W-warming up. Yeah! I'm just warming up!"
"Who is that, Arisu? Your friend?"
"She is the demon I contract with. I also have in mind something like that. I want everyone to contract to every demon. We are going to capture every powerful demon and make a contract with them."
"Demon?! Get ready Yuzuha!"
"Stop!"
"Why?! It is a demon, right? Why stop us?"
"Yes, demons are our enemies. But we don't have a choice to use them to fight demons. No, I would say, ``Angels."
"Angels? Is it what the others are secretly talking about?"
"Yeah, the one pulling these strings isn't a demon. It was all the angel's doings."
"But still, I'm not fine getting along with them."
"That's true Arisu. After what they did to us, there is no way we can get along with them."
"Tokiro, did you know the demo I fought on the ship last time?"
"The 3rd X Demon? What's about him?"
"You are contacting him. After this war, we might not know when the Demon God rank showed up. We need the demon's support to fight them. We need their regeneration power."
I summoned Kazura. Tokiro doesn't have a choice so he did it. They looked into each other's eyes and started the contract.
Since this demon isn't a spirit, I wrote a magic circle to the ground while both of them are inside. The contract was working, Kazura disappeared and Tokiro's right eye changed. Since it was his first time, he was unable to control it so he attacked us.
"What's happening Arisu?!"
"Contracting with demons is also dangerous. You need to fight their darkness first. If you win against them and control them. You can use their power."
"Tokiro! Hang in there!"
"Yuzuha, I'll take care of Tokiro. Go deal with the demons around us."
"What about that demon girl?"
"She'll help me deal with Tokiro."
"Is she trustworthy?"
"Don't worry, she is part of me. If I die, she'll disappear too."
It is the contract she told me about. At the time I trained inside that terrifying place. The contract is not fair to her. If she disappears, I won't disappear. If i disappear, she'll disappear. That's why the contract is not fair. That is the reason why she didn't want me to use too much of my power. Because my power can reach where you can die.
A crow arrives. The message was from the princess of the land of nature. It says that every land must join forces as soon as possible. War is waving. The number of demons from the land of nature is over 10 thousand.
The number of demons here is over 15 thousand. Earlier, 1,500 demons have been killed so there are 13,500 demons more. They should be still inside the deep forest.
