Chapter Volume 1 3 part2

Her jade eyes, shining like a bright jewel with a deepness unlike any other jewel, it then looked towards me."H-hey, are you conscious now?"

"——"

Without any notice, the girl suddenly opened up her eyes. Or so I thought, but the girl suddenly stood up with a surge of rage.

"Vanessaaaaaaaa! How dare you trap me. I did not lose!! I definitely haven't lost to you!"

Spreading the wings on her back, and a stance getting ready for battle.

She the pointed to Kai who's in front of her.

"Do you think this weak looking lower class demon is enough to stop me? Don't joke with me. Stop hiding and come out this instant, Vanessa! You're the Demon's hero, are you not!"

"Huh? H-hold on!?"

"The match starts from now!"

The name the girl shouted out, the Dark Empress' Vanessa.

The name of the Demon who destroyed the city of the Ulza Federation.

… She's angry and holding a grudge against a demon.

… But the one she's picking at is.. me!?

"Hold on, this is a misunderstanding. I'm not a Demon. To begin with, even you.."

"Shut up shut up shut up! Hurry up and get Vanessa here this instant!"

Furiously shaking her head from side to side, the girl held up both her hands.

From her palms, a mixed colored of lights form a helix cluster mid-air.

"Magic Arts!?"

But what is that light. Each race has their own colors of Magic arts.

Demons have black or purple, Angels and elves have white based colored, which was recorded in the records of the Great War.

But what is that Magic Arts mixed in tens and hundreds of different colors?

"A lower class demon like you, you're not a match for me!"

She released the light cluster of Magic Arts.

"-tsk, Elf Bullet—"

Taking a stance with his gunblade in the spur of the moment, Kai frozed.

His Drake Nail had transformed into Sid's sword along with the Ryakushiki Elf bullets contained within the gun's chamber.

He now has no means to resist the Magic Art.

The cluster of Magic Art's light blinded his sight.

That moment.

"The Code Holder which cuts through 'destiny'. Please release this world from its needless fate of death."

A graceful lady's voice, resonating from the sword.

"Ugh!"

Without given any leeway to doubt it, he swung down the Code Holder.

Sid's sword. The blade of light cut through Rinne's cluster of mixed colored Magic Art into two.

*shiiing

A resounding sound alike a bell's dissipated the Magic Art.

Like a summer haze, a mirage, it left not a single trace.

"…The Magic Art.. disappeared?" Kai involuntarily whispered so.

A blade which cuts through Magic Art. That Magic Art which is fatal if it dealt direct damage, dissipated as if it never 'existed' to begin with.

On the other hand, the girl who released the Magic Art "….Impossible". Rinne was dumbfounded. She then looked towards Kai and the Code Holder he's holding.

"W-what was that just now!? I never knew a mere demon can use a weapon like that!"

"I told you I'm not a demon, mind you"

"Eh?"

"So blood rushed to your head and you didn't hear me then… See, I'm human. I don't have wings and tails of a demon"

Opening wide both hands. While perceiving the girl's killing intent disappearing.

"And considering I saved you. I really want you to know that I have no ill intentions"

"…. You.. helped me?"

"See anyone else here? I'm the only one here"

"……"

Her opened wings folded back. The wing shrunk into a size unseen by Kai which shows her will to stop fighting.

"I'm sorry. I… Since I have a grudge against demons I…" Rinne in a smaller, disheartened voice.

The next instant, the girl let out a groan and fell on her knees.

"Too bright…?"

"Aah, since until just now I was unconscious and bathed in light in a sudden" Rinne, while placing her hand by her forehead.

Although she is definitely not human, but her actions depict how human-like she is.

"Just now, you called out to Vanessa right. Are you talking about the Demon's hero?"

"……"

Silent, but Rinne nodded in response

"She's the culprit who trapped me here. So, I thought the one who's here is her underling"

"From which point do I look like a demon to you?"

"I.. I don't know! I.. am from a different race.. and.. so.. that might happen"

After saying so, Rinne's wings shrunk even smaller and hid within her long hair.

"A different race, then you're not a demon?"

"Fallen angel-"

A coincidence? The name of the race Rinne mentioned alights with Kai's infer.

"… I was ever called as so"

" 'but that's wrong' or so I think that's what you mean"

"What race I am doesn't matter right? It doesn't mean anything!" Rinne shouting in a strong manner.

–I don't want to talk about it..

As to make one think of so, her big eyes wavered.

"I thank you for helping me. And I apologize for having attacked you. But about my race… Please don't talk about it. I don't like to talk about it"

"…Understood"

"I'm glad you understand"

A reply of courtesy, but after seeing Rinne's relaxed expression, it seemed to be her real intention.

"Human… you are?"

"Kai", Kai replied while holding back from making a bitter smile. She's not wrong about him being a human but there's a resistant feeling being called so in front of him.

"I'm not used to being called human"

"…I'm.. Rinne" Looks like she didn't recall naming herself when she was binded by the chains. Rinne then once again introduced herself.

"I have one question for you, where are we now? You did say that you were trapped in here after fighting with the Demon's hero right?"

"Un, but even I don't know where this is" Rinne turned back.

Looking up towards the pillar she was binded to, then looking around with vigilance.

"I was fighting one on one with Vanessa and ended up trapped in here…"

"One on one?!" What a thing came out easily from Rinne's moth.

…The opponent is the heroes of the Demons, mind you?

…Fighting such an opponent and still end up alive is unbelievable in itself.

But being sealed in this place, and that wings of angel and demon. And how she doesn't like to talk about her race, it's not difficult to imagine how irregular of a existence this girl is.

"…Don't tell me, you're super duper strong?"

Rinne boasted with her chest up

"I'm strong, mind you. The horde of demons didn't have a strong one with them, so I blasted them off I tell you"

"…And that strong person just attacked me without any hesitation?"

"T-that's why I apologized right! It really was a misunderstanding!" The girl's face turned red until her ear. Her elf-like ear moving to the sides seems to be how she shows how flustered she is.

"But it really was dangerous. If Kai was really Vanessa's underling, I couldn't held back. Good thing that you blocked that"

"If I didn't block it?"

"Your body will tear into a hundred pieces and scatter…"

"There's a limit to not holding back!?"

"B-but, how did you do that? Blocking my Magic Art."

"Hm? Aah, even I don't know the details myself…" while sneaking a peek towards the Hero's sword.

Prophet Sid once used this sword in the Great War and ended up in victory.

…While I was wondering all this time, how can a single sword them off.

…But wasn't that just now the answer? sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Just as what the sword said, the sword cut through 'destiny'

And it erased the 'destiny' where I could have suffered a fatal wound from Rinne's Magic Art. Though it's hard to believe, but these irregularities kept on happening. There's no other way than to believe in it.

"Probably this sword did…"

"Hmhm, this sword did?" Nodding, Rinne prompted.

In this space which doesn't have anything, a swirl of black spot appeared without a sound. It broadened as big as a whirlpool, and from within it 'something' appeared.

[Destiny’s irregularity xxx has awakenend. Danger level towards new world is raised to ‘Worst’.]

[Sealing by Last Raizer– Commence–]

Just like a brutally destroyed marionette.

What appeared was a weird girl of an unprecedented race with missing body parts here and there. Her outer appearance has some similarities to a human, but her right arm was of a snake’s torso.

But she’s different.

…Different from Rinne.

…What is this auspicious chill I’m feeling?

My hand holding Code Holder was shaking uncontrollably.

“It’s her!” Rinne who jumped in a fluster while shouting out.

“When I was fighting with the __Empress.. this one appeared and trapped me here!”

“Then, she’s a demon?”

There is no other race other than the Demons who will follow Vanessa’s orders. But is she really? Are you telling me this weird creature is Vanessa’s underling? There was no report of such a being existing during the Great War.

“Let’s run. This way!” Rinne’s swift decision.

Beckoning with her hand, she ran towards the path in between 3 pillars.

“I was pulled into this space from the inner part of that altar. If we open up a hole there–” But above Rinne was a shadow.

“Rinne! Up!”

“…eh?”

Another black spot appeared mid-air. From within, a creature’s right arm attacked Rinne with an immense force, with no leeway to react, Rinne got entangled.

[Destiny’s irregularity xxx- apprehended]

The girl’s scream echoed.

[Commencing Zero Code]

Countless black swirls, hundreds and thousand of a smaller compressed version of what the creature used to teleport appeared, and in no time it covered Rinne’s whole body.

And suddenly, they dissapeared.

As if erasing Rinne’s body, she starts to dissapear.

“Ah…aaaa… n-noooooo!” Rinne holding out her hand towards Kai, looking for salvation. But even that hand was covered by the black swirls and erased.

I could see in front of my eyes, the girl’s body disappearing.

“—

An intense fear surpassed me.

….Everything in this world is absurd.

…Even this creature in front of my eyes…

I have the hero’s sword with me.

And I myself have endured deathly harsh training to oppose the Four Races.

I can oppose any enemy.. It was supposed to be like so.

Hence what aroused Kai’s anger, was due to him only being able to stand still looking at the situation while shaking.

“Don’t just stop moving, me!” Tightly grasping the shining sword in his hand. Kai swung the shining blade towards the creature’s snake hand capturing Rinne.

—-Release Rinne!

A slash. *slash, the black swirls dissipated alike how the clouds cleared up.

[……!?] The creature staggered from her hand cut off.

[Code Holder…. The world’s will…. Forbidden sword… Why here…!?]

“Over here, Rinne!” Ignoring the creature, Kai took ahold of the girl’s hand and brought her closer

“Can you run!?”

“…I, I’m fine!”

“Then let’s go. There’s no need to bother with that kind of opponent!”

While still holding onto the girl’s hand, Kai ran towards the inner part of the altar. Running towards the direction Rinne pointed at, there–

“It’s there! That!”

A crack of light.

The door floating in the empty space, Kai and Rinne jumped into it together.
