1909 Words
"Destruction and power! That what I wanted!"
Ziggy shouted then battle everyone. Ziggy first battle Hikari and Yusael.
Making the girls unconscious.
Seeing it Ren got angry and put his sword ablaze. Glenn was on the same page and charged toward Ziggy.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"Magic doesn't affect me..."
Ziggy used his hand to block Ren's sword and suck its magic. The flames from Ren's sword started to burn the hand. Ziggy was confused because he can't suck his magic.
"Those flame it produces is not magic at all. I can't believe such a magic weapon exists. A discovery."
"You're going to pay for hurting Hikari!"
The flames from his hand started to burn him up.
"What is with these flames?'
Ziggy immediately cuts his limb and regrows it again to avoid being completely burned by Ren's flame.
"My flame can burn anything."
Ren is out of himself and has bloodlust eyes.
"Anti-magic sword s***h!"
"I'm the strongest, a mere boy can't defeat someone like myself... he is some kind of misunderstanding."
Kuro, Hikari, Yuna, Yusael, William, and Lucas are out of magic and too tired to stand up. All that they do is watch them fight.
"... Hikari," Ren muttered.
"... Yusael," Glenn muttered.
Exceeding their limits unlocks new potential.
Ren's flaming sword got bigger and started to look like dragon wings. Glenn's anti-magic sword connects to his demon and gives him more power to fight. The anti-magic sword's white appearance turns into black.
"Flame sword of Igneel!"
"Demonic anti-magic sword!"
Aria who don't want to see the world in doom in Ziggy's hand and decided to help the two and by giving them buff to boost up their speed.
At the same time the two adventurers. Slashed Ziggy with their newly awakened power.
Putting a cross mark in Ziggy's body.
Ziggy as a demon he was just regenerated and counter back to the two-man.
Glator and Pithon also fight back Ziggy's new form are very strong that they are thrown down by just taking Ziggy's fist.
Ziggy got bigger and bigger and more powerful.
Because of their fight earlier Glator and Pithon already within their limits. Same with the other adventurer in the area. Ren and Glenn still stand and guard the girls they love the most.
Glenn guard Yusael and Ren guard Hikari.
"I get it now... Both of you became stronger because of the love for those girls. Don't worry I will send all of you to the afterlife."
Said Ziggy.
"I can still fight."
"Me too... I see you the same as me. Protecting the one you love the most."
The rocks from the ground move.
From the destroyed tower. Someone emerges and with a dark aura, he looks around the area. He is looking for someone. Someone that defeats him in mere seconds.
"That little girl with light brown hair! Where is she?!"
Angry tone and desperate for revenge.
Ren recognized them and immediately think that it's Hanayuki.
From these past hours, Hanayuki battled Loiuse and defeated Loiuse's demon form in mere seconds. Hanayuki then discovers the underground cave. The cave where Hanayuki and Melida right now.
Louise is pissed off he can't even think straight. he didn't even know that Ziggy did something cruel to Melida.
"The knight?"
"A demon?'
Pulling his sword Louise put an intense amount of energy into his sword. With the help of his demon, his power is boosted a lot more. The sword glow in light blue color and with the fierce eye's he attack Ziggy.
Slicing Ziggy in half.
Ziggy never thinks that such swordplay slices him like butter.
"So powerful..."
Glenn muttered.
Glenn already expected Loiuse to be powerful, that's why he wanted to skip battle with him this entire time. William also thinks that Louise is so powerful he can't even think of defeating him.
Regenerating his body back to normal Ziggy was revived.
Glenn saw that power Louise have when he got pissed-off. Glenn knew that he has a feeling for Melida. Glenn got a plan and said something to Louise.
"Louise that demon fooled Melida and hurt her."
"Code 52 you mean this demon hurt my goddess... This monster hurt Melida?"
Louise got silent and the ability got activated.
Revenge heart ability is an ability that makes every attack in 2x critical state. This ability can be multiplied every time he got a new opponent that he wanted revenge on.
At this moment. He has two that he wanted to have revenge Hanayuki and Ziggy.
"... I will slay you first then follow that little brat."
Louise started his swordplay and slice Ziggy multiple times.
"Rapid water strikes! Still alive how consistent! Rapid water strikes!"
The speed and power amazed everyone as Louise slice Ziggy.
"Gravity magic: Push down!"
"That won't work on me. I became the skill itself. Flowing like water and ignoring the condition of my surroundings. You can't defeat me..."
"Then how about this... King demons command: Stop moving."
Commanding the demon inside Louise. Louise stop from moving and was hit by the gravity magic down to the ground.
"The demon inside me is betraying me..."
Said Louise.
Louise then gets a talisman from his pocket and uses it to himself.
The Talisman break the demon contract and freed him. Making him back to his speed.
Ren and Glenn got some more energy and go back to the battle.
Will power keep them moving. To defeat such an impossible opponent. They keep slashing and slashing with their swords.
Getting bored in the battle.
Ziggy released a power.
"This is taking so long... Demon gravity magic: gravitational force!"
Pull down another meteor but this time bigger than before.
"... feel the power that rival gods."
Ren and Glenn turn their glance toward the girl they love and their comrade that fights with them and think that there's no way they can invade such an attack from the opponent.
There no other choice but to change the target toward the falling meteor and slice it down to small pieces.
The three-man with their sword at the same time slice the meteor with them all power. Saving everyone in steel Island. In return they lost most of their energy and Ziggy is still standing strong.
"Hahahahahahaha... I can use another of that magic."
Ziggy laugh loudly as he saw Ren and everyone struggle.
…
10 years ago, Ziggy is one of the low demons living in a small town. Hiding to the human and decided to live in peace. A man with overwhelming power appeared. The man can't accept such a creature have a peaceful life and decided to kill every demon living in that town. Ziggy fight back but he is no match with his holy power.
Ziggy was defeated immediately.
Ziggy's demon family was killed in front of him. The one that killed the demons in that town is the King himself, King Arthur.
Ziggy escaped with the promise that he will avenge his family. While running he saw a little girl on the shore. the little girl is Melida. Having no memories Melida was fooled by him. Ziggy notice the intense magic inside Melida and started using Melida's magic for his use. Ziggy study the demon contract and how he will obtain such power.
...
"Those memories are still fresh... I will destroy him that shitty king. That angel... Is his daughter."
Glenn forces his body to move and stop Ziggy.
"You can do that!"
"Stay away!"
Smacked Glenn.
Glenn got put down again.
"I will behead his daughter and give it as a present."
Said Ziggy and slowly walked toward Yusael.
From the ground, lightning emerge. Ziggy stands back and looks closely toward the two girls that came from the ground.
The two girls are Hanayuki and Melida.
Louise got happy after seeing Melida and got pissed off after seeing Hanayuki.
"Hanayuki where did you go?"
Asked Ren.
"I just lost somewhere..."
Hanayuki replied.
"Melida? And another one? Just two girls, I will kill both of you fast."
Ziggy throws a powerful punch toward Melida and Hanayuki.
Before Ziggy's fist connected to Hanayuki.
Hanayuki cut the hand easily with her sword. And in another second all limbs are already cut. In another second. His body is cut. In another second its the body is cut to smaller pieces as small as a pebble of rock.
Hanayuki and Melida's speed in the sword can't be seen at all.
"This is unbelievable."
Said Ziggy who is only in the form of a black creepy heart with one eye and mouth.
"That creepy thing is still talking... I have no choice."
Said Hanayuki and finished Ziggy.
Ziggy found himself in another dimension. The empty dimension. Ziggy regains his body and then wanders around. In that dimension, the demon of Hanayuki is waiting.
"What is this place?"
"You really are amazing to obtain such power... Even you call your self superior demon. The fact that you are born as a low demon will not change... Low born loser "
Satania said.
"A demon? Who are you?"
Asked Ziggy.
"That's not important... "
"Thank you lord Hanayuki for this wonderful feast..."
Hanayuki's demon Satania ate the demon Ziggy in a cruel way as possible.
In the real world, the heart just disappears into the dust.
Everyone didn't understand or saw the demon or how it dies exactly.
Everyone is just silent at that moment looking at Hanayuki.
After that, a feather above the sky came falling to Hanayuki's hand and the dawn rises.
"That's it?"
Hanayuki asked and turn her glance to Melida. Melida is a dumbstruck expression nodded.
"Yup... I can't even understand what you did Hanayuki."
Ren said.
"Ehh...."
Hanayuki started to think that her power is too strong. and look to the dawn with a dumbstruck expression.
"Next time... I won't expect anything."
Hanayuki said.
The battle is over in the way they never think. The thought of how powerful Hanayuki was drilled in Louise, Glenn, and Ren's heads.
Louise stands up and tries to hug Melida.
"My goddess! Thank goddess!"
Melida dodge and said:
"Who are you?"
With her head hardly hit, She forgets some people in her mind.
After a few moments. Yusael and Hikari wake up.
"Hikari..."
Ren walked to Hikari.
"Thank you so much, Ren... I saw the things you did for me."
"That's nothing. This time we will do the promise we have as a child. We will travel in every place in this world and destroy evil like a hero."
Yusael takes a glance at Glenn and stare. Glenn is shyly stayed still. Yusael turns her glance to another way toward William and started healing him. Yusael is so worried a lot to William.
Lucas walked beside Glenn and teased him.
"Jealous?"
"Shut-up!"
Glator and Pithon are in brotherhood condition and promise to themselves that they will become more powerful.
Everyone in the base runs toward Ren's location and started greeting everyone. The injured are all treated immediately.
Kuro looks at how happy Ren and Hikari were and started to think that. He never senses malice to Hikari.
"Our mission failed..."
Said Kuro.
Yuna looks to the dawn and remembers someone in the past.
"I will become stronger and meet him."
Yuna's message to Amiya.
"Ehhh... My memories are blurry but I feel like I knew this lightning girl..."
Aria said and think.
"... I give up."
At that time, the battle in Steel Island ended.
