1270 Words
Climbing the tower as much as possible become our main goal. Hanayuki is running beside me seems very excited. Looking back at what's happened in the base. Hanayuki was an absolute monster in terms of magic and some abilities. She can even kill a demon with her demon art. I'm so curious about how she becomes this powerful but I think it's not the time to think about that.
The monsters appeared in our sight. Both of us pulled our swords and hacked them out in our way.
I'm not really using my flame powers before but now it became my main magic to use. Maybe because it's a power given by the man I hate the most. But this power is absolute I must use it and save Hikari.
"Hanayuki!"
"What is it, Ren?"
"Are you really okay?"
"Yes, absolutely... Are you worried about dragging me to your own messy mission?"
"Well... To be honest, I think that a lot. I'm really sorry for dragging you with me."
"What are you talking about? I'm the one that walked beside you and follow you no need to worry... And also I feel that you're a key for me to remember some of my lost memories. Honest, I started to remember some of them. Some memories are dark but some shine's like gems."
Said Hanayuki with a smile.
Dark past? Hanayuki might have it really tough. While looking at Hanayuki's childish face. I used status check skills and look at her current stats. Hanayuki's power is currently in 50,000. and mine is in 10,000. The difference in power sure is very wide.
"I'm glad that you're with me."
I said to Hanayuki.
"Ren something is coming and it's definitely bad news... I feel a demon."
Hanayuki said and activated her lightning speed skill. After activating she kicked the upcoming attack that I didn't even saw. Hanayuki and this mysterious opponent both enter light speed.
Sparks of their clashing swords are the only thing that can be found.
"I don't want to be so useless..."
I cleared my mind and close my eyes.
Back then, while training with Kuro. Kuro teach me an important ability. It's the ability to read the precedence. Each person has a presence and detecting it is very important. This opponent is moving very fast like Hanayuki. This is the only thing that I can do.
My sword started to ablaze and then slashed it through thin air. I heard a s***h of sword and open my eyes.
In split second, the opponent appeared before our eyes.
A long sword user and looks like a middle-aged man.
"That sword and flame. I remember you... That kid from the country of pearl."
The man that appeared before our eyes is indeed Zeha from the red robe terrorist. And now he has contracted a demon and become one of the witch cultists.
"Red robe terrorist..."
"Sorry, boy but the one I'm interested in fighting is not you. Sure I was impressed with the thing you just did. After this, I will battle you... Demon sword: Acceleration cut."
What is that skill? He disappeared, then appeared in front of Hanayuki. He's about to cut down Hanayuki with his long sword.
"Raiku(Lightning god)!"
The skill Hanayuki just used to make a mark on the forest. Trees started to gt burn and magnitude is created.
"Lightning sword skill: acceleration!"
Hanayuki made a sword from her lightning magic and created a sword like the long sword Zeha use. She then copies Zeha’s demon sword skill and cuts down Zeha.
"Is that the end?"
I asked.
"You're rising the flag Ren!"
"What flag?"
"That flag!"
Zeha regenerates and stands smiling. He then looks at Hanayuki with blood-lusting eyes. His face looks demonic and very desperate.
"Ever since, I encounter you. I never win a single match with you! Even you're still a kid back then. You're a genius blessed with many talents. I totally envy that. Why a moron i***t brat like you must possess that kind of power?"
Said Zeha with a furious voice.
"What's wrong? That’s normal, that someone is absolutely more powerful than you?"
Replied Hanayuki.
"That makes no sense... That makes no sense... Demon contract full power release. Demon Megucula!"
Zeha shouted.
A black magic circle appeared below him and then his face started to have a black scar that reached his eyes. His eyes turn red and he started to grow four wings that resemble a bat. His head gains horns that resemble a bull.
He became a demon.
"That kind of demon are ones that cant is saved anymore. Before it hurt someone. It must be stopped right here and right now."
Said Hanayuki.
I used my status check to the demon and saw a glitch like a character in my vision.
"Ren sorry but I want you to stay back... I will send you to the tower now."
"What are you saying?"
Hanayuki throws her sword away and with her lightning magic. The sword flies so fast and sinks toward the wall in the tower.
After that Hanayuki activated a skill that replaced me with her sword.
"Swap."
...
"Finally... I can have one on one match with you it's a dream come true."
"Demon Satania... Who is that demon?"
Asked Hanayuki.
In her head laugh of a female demon appeared. The demon Hanayuki has the appearance of a shadow and the figure of a woman sitting on her throne.
"Finally... Is seeing so many demon contractors make you remember me... Hanayuki... Hanayuki my dear..."
"Just answer me or I'll butcher you..."
"You're real color is nasty as ever. I wish you stay to that innocent self that you are when you have amnesia... Ahhhhhhh--!!"
Hanayuki cut the finger of the demon.
“I still don’t remember everything. Also, don’t talk to me with eye to eye manner.”
Satania got terrified from Hanayuki’s strength and immediately change her attitude.
"...Sorry my lord... I'm very sorry to talk in from of you like that... Lord Hanayuki that demon Megucula is a demon capable of increasing one's magic over a million times...."
"Is there a counter to that?"
"Yes... You should use your anti-magic and sealing magic in this kind of situation."
"Thank you, you can regrow it back right... Sometimes I will visit torture you like those old times."
The demon starts to drop tears.
Zeha in his demon form attacks Hanayuki with his long sword. The sword can now extend freely.
A few seconds later.
Hanayuki won a victory and Zeha was killed by her hands. Unlike her destructive method of fighting. Hanayuki killed Zeha in instant and don't even make a sound. Like a professional assassin.
"This is why I hate killing. My hands and clothes really got dirty."
Said Hanayuki.
Hanayuki remembers 10% of her original memories. Her dark memories and the persona she created. Who is Hanayuki? Who is she really? What's her purpose in this battle? and why...
"Why I'm living really?"
Said Hanayuki.
Hanayuki's current stats that no one knows in the whole of Island:
STR: 9,999,999
INT: 9,999,999
VIT: 9,999,999
AGI: 9,999,999
Magic: All lightning magic, Dragon slaying magic, Demon slaying art, Anti-magic, Seal magic, All Four element magic, Time magic, Mineral magic, Tree magic, infinite magic control, Null magic, Void magic, Demon magic, Martial arts, Absolute defense.
Hanayuki is still in her 22% and this is the only magic she remembers by now. Staying away from her memories might be the best for her to live a simple peaceful life.
