Witenagemot Profile
Name: Berius Granzure Dorbick (prefers to be referred as Granzure)
Bio: Not much is known about this witch, even Princess Alice's visions about her are vague and of unknown nature, she appeared 5 years ago slaying several divine ancestors and rogue magical groups, attempts of capture resulted in failure, the only thing we know for certain is that she is a human with divine ancestry and currently works as a mercenary.
Notorious Abilities: A master swordswoman and magician to the levels of the Holy Grail Knight, creation and usage of magical firearms ,impressive use of Armors, usage of several magical systems but she has horrible sensor abilities in all areas but she proclaims being able to "smell the scent of the witches".
Personality: Capable of working together with others, she has a policy of following the contract while ignoring any other opportunities that may appear while doing the job, after the job is done she distances from her previous contractor for a month when asked about this behavior she answered: "Do not get spoiled." And left at that
Stated by the other knights to be an utter professional and refuses to talk or bond with the others, only interact while on the field or if receiving orders, will ignore them if they clash too much with the initial contract and will disobey "stay in group" orders, due to her record of success such thing can be looked over.
Due to being a person at the same level of the Grail Knight, the kill list of several ancestors and her refusal to side permanently with any Magic Association we give her the Danger Rank of A-
Note: She is often seen discussing with a pink haired woman by the name of "Lily", this "Lily" is a complete unknown to us, and even the Visions of Princess Alice could not reveal anything about her
[WitenagemotTrain-Pathway to Wales]
Sitting on the storage wagon a sigh could be heard and the metallic sound of some gadget being modified
"Hmph that Alice was getting me the most troublesome jobs, go get the Nothung, find the fragments of the Fragarach, steal back the Necronomicon from Alec, and eliminate some shmuck divine ancestor…what a pain in the ass…"
Spitting a cigarette out and checking the chambers of her revolver and shaking her long mane of black hair the teenager sighed.
Strangely dressed in an Old/Wild West Poncho and biker black leather, coupled with her pale skin and the 'unique' presence surrounding her it gave the impression she was a ghost or a really strange reaper
Hugging her from behind was a girl as pale as she was, dressed in a Alice in Wonderland dress she squirmed around the sitting still 'phantom' her inhuman red eyes sparkling with emotion and her long pink hair flying everywhere.
"Hey~Hey~ we going to wales right~? Land of Manly Barbarians…or was it of the Pretty Boy Knights? Honestly all this damn land is the same to m-WAHHHH"
Grasping the Lolita's hair the phantom brought them eye to eye. Hellish pink eyes stared at dead cold light blue eyes, hissing the phantom threw the girl over her shoulder.
Smiling dizzily the pink haired lunatic stared at the Subzero gaze without any fear, even with the revolver pointed at her forehead she continued to stare without any fear
"No jokes eh Lily? I do the kill you do the info, if everythin' goes alright we won't be eating our own guts while the Hag laughs her tits off." Ending her checkup the black haired girl stands up and goes to her motorbike.
"OH oh we are riding Behemoth?"
"Damn train is too slow, my arm is getting itchy let's go Lily!"
"L-lady Granzure please hold, Princess Alice has given you orders to be discreet." One of the knights accompanying the train stuttered as he overheard the two hunter's conversation.
"Whahaha it's no use lass missie Granzure is uncontrollable as a Campione, let her go I can guarantee she won't destroy the city!"
An absolute mountain of muscles with a beard laughed; dressed as the typical metal worker he threw the massive hand cannon he held to Granzure.
"Of course destruction gets deducted on my pay after all, so let's see what you made….Beside moving by myself won't catch the witch's attention, a bunch of heavily armed knight on the other hand? It's like not noticing an elephant." Analyzing it, Granzure inserted her right hand into the opening port, immediately the cannon flared to life with a dark blue color filling the gaps.
"Haha the assassin's method huh? Well but assassins don't have as much as firepower as you do."
"Neither did Loki in Norse myth and look what happened."
"Ah~but Gran-gran isn't a troll trickster~. If anything you are Odin, the asshole king who no one gets what the hell are his plans for~."
"Shut it Lily."
Knocking the cannon twice Granzure looks it over and nods, disappearing in a flash of black light
"Hmm Ice Element? Useful against dragons and stopping non-water Earth Beings…is it too much to ask for a 'Steel' Ancestor? I am getting bored of fighting lizards and their spawn. A knight or something would be nice….I will deposit the amount later… so Mission Start."
Revving once again the bike it blew flames out of the exhaust pipe, grinning savagely the girl moved her head in Lily's direction to jump over
Laughing the Lolita floated to the backseat and embraced. Laughing her head off she threw her head back and whooped as the bike's motor 'roared 'to life
"LET'S DO THIS GHOST RIDER STYLE! Yaowch!" Elbowing Lily the phantom stared annoyed at the Lolita's antics
"Remember info? Or do I need to punch you again?"
"Ah~. Punching that brings memories…Well anyway our target is hanging around Wales, Cardiff; Glamorgan Heritage Coast, recon said a planned mass sacrifice to ascend. Ya know typical stuff."
"Wales is near England…Why isn't Alec dealing with this one? I know that imbecile dislikes things that might cause problems in the future."
"Well the Black Prince is playing Vagabond Thieving King again, this time in Germany if I'm right"
"Damned Campiones, everything else is trash if it's not related to their goals…So any names, hint of what kind of god it used to be?"
"Poisonous, capable of rage inducing curses, Necromancy, Holy attacks and free Dragon to Ancestor transformation."
"Samael."
"Huh? W-wait you mean the Archangel of Death?! The Poison of God?!"
"Yeah all those elements link most likely to that God, besides the reports said several 'devils' were summoned only to be quickly dispatched by something…If that Ancestor is feeding on Divine Beasts so fast…"
"A Heretic God is aiding it….FLOOR IT GRANZURE!" With panicked eyes Lily yelled.
"No need to tell me twice….The hunt is on!" As if answering to her feelings Behemoth's engine roared even louder, mixing the sound of the metal workings with the magical power being channeled it sounded like a dragon roaring.
[Cardiff-Entrance]
"That disgusting scent….Bronze Black Cross is here!" Granzure gritting her teeth at her own discovery stopped behemoth. Lily remained uncharacteristically quiet
"Come out Dogs playing as Knights I already felt your scent!"
"Rogue Knight Granzure I order you to retreat!" A young girl clad in a black tunic skirt combo, with a blue mantle with black lines over her shoulders declared, silver hair put in a ponytail and blue eyes stared at Granzure.
"…That didn't work 2 Months ago and it won't work now Fairytale Knight Liliana, besides we don't have a deal, so back off."
"This situation is risky enough with the Ancestor, now with the suspicions of a God being involved…."
Shaking her head, Liliana yelled
"No you back off!" Drawing her rapier she pointed at Granzure, who merely answered with a bored stare
"Buying time for Doni huh?"
"H-how did you know?!"
"First that fossil's corpse stench is not here, second that imbecile would jump at the chance to fight a strong opponent. Now out of the way or else."
A tense aura fills the place, the Honorable Azure Knight and the Rogue Black knight glare at each other, the scene of two heroes clashing is about to start! Weapons at Ready the Singing Sword Il Maestro and the Revolver Black Meteor are drawn and ready to go!
"Tch by the time that idiot takes action….
Spread your wings Bird King Garuda, the sky is your domain and I your humble servant, I ask of thee grant thy blessing upon this unworthy one and let the winds rule my movements!"
Or not…..
Covered by the spell's powers Behemoth blasted into the sky leaving the knights and Liliana behind
"Honorless dog! Come back here!"
Yelling at the quickly disappearing figures Liliana raged and the other knights beside her shake their heads as this was already the 5th time of such an event repeating
[Cardiff Skies]
A sight not unusual in movies about an Alien, a Boy and heartwarming friendship and flying bicycles, only this time there was a gigantic black motorbike a Cowboy Girl with freaky blue eyes and one Alice-dressed pink haired lunatic with her hands on her head and moving it like a pendulum and her hair making spikes at every direction.
"Hey living radar felt anything yet?"
"Left~Right~Up~Down~Cross System~….Lucky~Seven Bullet! Show me the most sinful creature~!"
The Seven Spikes that were currently Lily's hair start spinning so fast they started a sound, when all of a sudden Lily pointed directly down.
"Down...But it feels…closed? I guess really confusing…."
No hints, the "feeling" of an Ancestor preying upon humans souls wasn't there…the only way something can be below them and not be on the 'open'…
"Underground! And to be able to hide like this… A Runic Ritual! Damnit there's a god involved in this! Lily take Behemoth and go warn that damn Fairytale Knight tell her goons to move the civilians out!"
"B-but what about you?!" Teary eyed Lily questioned
"One life for a hundred….heh not a bad death I guess. Behemoth GO!"
With the command given Granzure jumps from the motorbike to the ground, while Behemoth shot itself towards Liliana's direction
"I can smell you Broken God!"
"Oh Fallen Angel of Stars Teach me the Secrets of Light, show me all the way! Heaven and Hell are mere roads to me!"
"Go! Stardust Magnum!"
Drawing her revolver, a rune circle appears in front of the barrel, shooting it a massive light ball was shot out like a cannonball, a few seconds later the "One Bullet" explodes in seven smaller balls of light, forming a seven pointed star on the ground; the girl continues to free fall, lifting her right arm she punches the glyph. A red aura being exhaled by her body and flames leaving her mouth she chanted.
Fear me, praise me!
For I am the Double Edged Sword that Brings Salvation and Death!
Power is the Only Law of the Universe
The Defeated shall be the Villain and the Victorious the Hero
TYRANT SWORD!
The words of heroes, villains, beasts all their beliefs being channeled by the Rogue Black Knight who understood powerlessness so well, roaring with bloodlust the powerful gathered to break this feeble seal made by a fallen god.
Her punching arm covered in Demonic Red Energy contacted the Seven Star circle and a massive quake could be felt, the runes covering the city all revealed themselves before breaking to pieces, many of it's fragments being absorbed by Granzure's now mutated right arm, red and grotesque it was thicker than her left, with no nails all she had for fingers were claws that constantly twitched and lurched in random directions.
Grinning Granzure glared at her arm, at once it dropped the act, holding her hand to the moon she stared through the gaps of her fingers with an evil smile on her face, her left eye closed and the right one blood red sclera and a yellow iris. Speaking with an unexpected childish tone full of happiness and wonder, she ponders.
"Hehehe….Now we play the waiting game~. Mrs. Snake….Arghh Stella it's my turn!" Holding her head in pain the girl 'talks' to a voice in her mind.
"No it isn't you imbecile; we will fight an ancestor soon, so hold your damn bloodthirstiness back!"
"But you never call me! It's always Collbrande, Caledfwlch or Testament! ARgghhh N-no wait I will LisT…." Her right arm snapped and punched herself in the face.
"What a headache…." Returning to normal, the girl shrugged her shoulders and walked off, her blood red right arm now normal, but still twitching erratically now and then.
"Now we play the waiting game."
[?]
"The seal broke?!"
"It seems so little serpent."
"Don't state the obvious Twisted Steel! I thought that was well hidden…a campione perhaps?"
"No not a King, but an interesting existence nonetheless, somewhat nostalgic as well. Young Serpent this Knight desires to clash blades with the Breaker of the seal."
"No no! If you do that it will ruin everything!"
"So much like a child, I hope this is worthy it I did not wake from my myth merely to play along a fallen god's schemes!"
"But she is a human! Sure a strong human but they are all mongrels before Gods, even broken ones!"
"Oh? Then what is a God-Slayer?! A human that surpassed fate! A mongrel rat that slayed a dragon! Do not forget 'Lilith' it was your blind pride in strength that broke you to this pathetic self of today!"
"U-um calm down if the backup goes alright then you can rampage as much as you want."
"Very well I shall wait, but the Wolf certainly didn't."
"What?!"
"He left; I suppose a King who attained his throne with only power and war is bound to be easily excited at the chance of fighting any opponent, especially one so much like himself, and well the Pact did not allow him to fight other gods or kings, nothing said about an unusual human."
[3 days later] Granzure P.O.V
"Memories broken the truth goes unspoken…"
Strange how the god and the ancestor haven't reacted to the rune field breaking.
Ah whatever time for breakfast and…a sword slicing my door in two. There's only one imbecile willing to solve anything with swords…
"Hiiiiiiii Granzure!" A blonde haired idiot with the lowest value as a human being, that's the only way I can describe this idiot who somehow became a campione, the fairytale knight was at the ruined door, she seemed somewhat stressed, while Doni just raided my fridge…Bastard
"Ughh what do you want good-for-nothing?" Just being next to him was enough to make me angry, truly he is the unfairness of the world embodied, a single area genius, so good at that people pondered that when he died a Heretic God Salvatore Swordsman would be born….
"That was a cool sword you had there. Heroes and villains right!" As expected if the matters are swords Doni is able to discern them in a second, just for note while I can respect him I shall hate him even beyond death, cheap bastard taking my jobs.
"Whatever beat it, the enemy is an Ancestor it won't be a fun match for you."
"Stop such insolence Granzure, acting like that will only bring deaths, also respect Lord Salvatore!" Huh so the blue fae has some bite?
"Since when does the jealous Bronze have the right to order the Lone Onyx? No not only jealous but desperate as well if your grandfather bows down to Voban only for the 'Association with a King' , add that and the fact the 7thCampione is obviously Erica's toy….Heh you knight types are hilarious really."
"W-what you!" Angered Liliana attempts to draw her sword, ha she likes playing knight but that hot temper of hers is so easy to trigger, before she can even put her hand on the sheath Doni blurred and had his hand there, surprised Liliana backed a few steps. It's difficult to catch his speed beyond a blur, but I was trained by that psychopathic hag so even if I can only see a blur it is still enough for me to guess the opponent's next action.
"Hey hey easy easy Lilica! Anyway lying is bad you know Granzure."
"It's Liliana Lord Salvatore and my apologies!"
Doni changes moods fast, even now I do not know when he is lying or acting for real, a master of the battlefield, most people think its bullshit but in battle you can tell your opponent's emotions if you know what signals to look for, so a battle maniac like him would be able to figure me out in a second, since whenever he is around my "steel gets sharper" according to him.
"…." Clench unclench this arm of mine has been rebelling for the last days…damned Ancestors always bragging about their plans but if one step go wrong all that pride goes down the drain and with Doni here she will hide even further…
"Ho nice steel…seems a bit chained down thought…"
"Tyrant Sword gets my blood boiling…I won't be able to calm down until I kill my target."
"Man those are some nasty curses. Well anyway the God in question is solely after you I can tell that much."
"Using me as bait then? It wouldn't be the first time after that Fake Ascalon fiasco…"
"Hahaha no…it's kinda like this that god gives vibes of wanting to fight 'only you' while completely ignoring me. It's unusual, so unusual I want to see what happens!" Excited like a child Doni exclaims while spreading his arms.
"A shark being a watcher? That's unlike you Doni, if the god is wounded or not at full power you jump at the chance of fighting them anyways, it's why you lost so many chance of gaining authorities…"
Among all campiones Doni is the biggest fighting maniac amongst them, he doesn't care if his target is God, Ancestor, Beasts, fellow campiones or even human mages. I should know after all I fought him once and he was the one to start it
"You think….?"The only reason why Doni would let an opponent go away it is if they were already all weakened and he liked them, after all he was someone that you could have a fight to the death with and later would drink wine with, or if the escapee being left alive would either return stronger or bring stronger opponents…an enemy stronger than a God born from a human…A Devil King….an unusual situation surrounding me….but kings are epitomes of humanity, their 'maximum' at something. The only thing I have is…..
Doni nodded his face a mixture of happiness and seriousness
"It's a possibility Miss Steel Arm after all you are someone who wields the power of fake gods! Also a respected Divine Ancestor hunter! I won't interfere, if you die I will do it until then Wales and its disasters are yours responsibilities"
"Lord Salvatore please be reasonable if the God who is working together with the Divine Ancestor manifests and goes after Granzure like you say….There might be two Gods going on a rampage, which would be a disaster!" Deep down Liliana desires to be the Ideal White Knight in Shining Armor, no her nature is of someone who prefers peace even in the presence of a devil, impressive considering what she went through.
"Haha Granzure won't fail I am sure!" Laughing Doni's stands up and leave, even as Liliana pesters him to reconsider the situation, even if his aide/friend talks to him as well…it will be useless
After all Campiones….deep down are just selfish monsters no matter how much they deny it…
Being all this philosophical isn't my style; better get that damn rabbit to help
Tring Tring
"Moshi moshi~. This is the wonderful beautiful virgin idol Lily-san~!"
"Problems Doni won't deal with the god and it's obvious the God will shield Samael….we are going to need some heavy metal to deal with this…"
"Soo~. Sengo then?"
"Yep bring Sengo things are about to get wild."
"Okay see you tomorrow~!" Ughh I need a freaking drink, the moon seens nice today, guess I will go out.
[Cardiff-Ddraig's Wine Bar ? POV]
"If I read the report's right that mercenary must be here…." How unsightly having to resort to such methods. I guess still better than dealing with those kings, knowing them they would just throw me into the maw of a god to get a better fight, all brutes no better than Thor I guess.
"Get the bitch!" Oh a fight? Well a bit to the left…BAM there goes a human flying out the cause? An average sized if not a bit flat on the chest teenage girl with her leg extended, surrounding her were several beaten thugs all unconscious, she stares me neutrally then setting her leg down she cracks her neck and muscles and do a head motion in my direction to sit next to her by the stool.
By sight alone she would be a strange girl to many, wearing her long pitch-black hair in twintails, the right one was impressively longer than the left, her frontal bangs were a mess, wearing an open oversized blazer with no tie, her white shirt was messy as if wore on a worry, for her legs a simple black combination of jeans and running shoes.
"You here about the seal?" Straight to the point no fear, this girl knows battle and do not fear death or enemies, but she is wary very wary indeed.
"No such a thing is bound to catch a king's attention soon. I am here to hire you Hunter of the Divine"
Rolling a dough of money for the damages to the bartender, he merely checked and nodded at Granzure while giving her a drink, twirling it around she drink it on one go and slammed the cup while giving the man a thumbs up…Is she ignoring me?!
"Ex-excuse me! But did you!" How did I not feel the presence of this weapon?! The revolver is directly pointed between my eyes, this weapon has tasted Ancestor Blood and it wants more. Its steel…. a divine ancestor was used in the forging!
"Shut it…I don't have time for your schemes now…If you don't want to end in a forge then leave." Her face has not changed expressions at all…I can't read this person! Ughh dealing with her is worse than talking with Odin!
"Listen here Wolf-eyed! I am Iounn or Idun if this is too complicated for your beastly tongue! This is the would be payment for your services if you take my offer!" I bring an item from my bag and show the fragmented metal to her, the girl's eyes immediately widen and she lowers her revolver.
The fragmented metal was 'on fire' and as it's flames it was red, but somehow one could see the difference between them, almost as if the fire was trying to 'eat' the metal yet it could not do it no matter how much it burned.
"This is! How the hell did you find something like this?! It's supposed to exist only as a Subordinate God to Loki or Surtr!" Ohoho she is interested good.
"Simply put there's a Divine Ancestor blacksmith running around and making such copy weapons, she stole great part of my power so I want you to kill her and return my apples to me."
"Ancestor blacksmith, a weapon to rival the gods….Laevateinn…one of the dwarf blacksmith siblings….then…I get it. Brynhildr? And your apples? You lost them divine ancestor."
"Do you think Loki is the only trickster? My apples accelerate healing and other things it was through a pact this Earth Goddess lived surrounded by Steel. Aside from that you are right that indeed it is the Dwarf subordinate who clad himself into Armor with the Appearance of a Dragon is responsible for this, she is lying low for the time being but with this you can 'smell' her out can't you Child of Fenrir?"
"You are hiring me to kill a god? Get Real."
"No no Brynhildr can't use my powers, no one with a 'violent intent' can, it is being used as a battery for her little forge, so ulfhéðinn will you take the job or not?"
"Wolf? Think whatever you want, I have a job right now so meet me a week later here at the same hour, we will discuss business then."
"Tch there's a god supporting Jormungand's spawn you know? Hunt ancestors as much as you want if you did not become a king by now it's because the Norns don't want you to be."
"Gods rule over humanity, yet there are those who break such rules. Fate, future? Leave such things to One Eye, I make my own path." Smirking the insolent hunter stands up and leaves, I can hear the roar of that infernal vehicle of hers, why no one uses horses anymore they aren't so noisy…..
[Next day Granzure's rented Apartment]
"Heavy and bloodthirsty…what a complicated weapon you have Gran!" Carrying a pitch black suitcase Lily complained, it had no defining characteristics expect the demonic skull implanted on both of the sides
"Watch thy tone witch, the only one allowed to speak to this one in such informal manner is my master, mongrels like you must call me Her Majesty!" A flash of red on the skull's eye sockets and the voice of a young noblewoman resounded across the room.
"Oh so Gran is your sweet prince then?"
"Indeed although I prefer men to wield me, brutality is brutality and someone filled with so much wrath like Granzure is perfect to receive my power, I always get bloodbaths when she calls me."
"Are you blushing Mrs. Immortal Slayer? Oh how cute~!"
"…Enough from the peanut gallery…." Sitting on her bed looking down Granzure muttered
"Hmm the heathen has reported the current situation I said it before did I not? God, demons, beasts, witches, it matter not who thy opponent are, I will always side with you Meister. No need for shame even the Pantheon Kings fear death; it's the world's rule for such a thing to happen."
"Death huh….If I die do you think I might get a break?"
"Hahaha unlikely that mentor of yours is someone who constantly breaks the Rules of the World, a true unmanageable monster that woman is."
"Yeah...She's a class of her own that's for sure…it's just I am so damn tired of all this bullshit…."
"Enough! Where's the woman who fought off a possession by that damned Accursed Serpent, the warrior who saw all the Steel in the Universe and did not falter! The Master of that Bloodthirsty Monster, answer me Stella!"
"That woman….she died...The warrior….abandoned her ideals, all that's left is this Abyssal Shadow drenched in blood."
"The empty box and the Remnant…very well then let us go forward and forge our legend! Even if you give up I will be Cruel like my creator and not let you fade no matter what!"
"Hmmm its fine selfish existences are what make this world move forward after all…." With her spirit reignited Granzure stands up.
"Wait a second Gran." Lily said in a serious voice.
"?"
"If you win Stella…you know we will have to meet as enemies…so please die as a human and lose so my memories of you won't be tarnished" With her back facing the human-weapon duo Lily said with a voice full of sorrow.
Shaking her head and smirking Granzure looked straight at the door and pondered "….You gods sure are a selfish bunch huh…even someone like you who gave life to humanity after they wiped us out…See ya later Phyrra…."
"Good bye, Prince of the Crimson Steel." Fading away as a mirage Phyrra disappeared, 'Stella' wept for the loss of a friend, while 'Granzure' merely stood up and picked Sengo up
"Not a bad title goddess of rebirth, onwards Abyssal Shadow let us meet the wolves and compare fangs!"
"Hmmm…yes let's go, after all Bloodshed is the only thing we know isn't it?"
"A fine answer. Let us be like the Valkyries…nay better let us be Dragons!"
"We are Steel you imbecile."
KNOCK KNOCK
"Hmmm?" That scent…the fae knight? "Come in Liliana."
"…." She seems tense, and silent this is unlike her.
"Did your grandfather?"
"Yes we are being ordered to retreat."
"I see then, don't worry I will bring victory." 'What is happening to me? I thought I buried 'Stella', talking like this, am I being nostalgic?'
"To kill a god…become a King, only a heathen mage like you who break rules regularly would think such a possibility, even that red devil wouldn't say such a thing."
"A man who has nothing cannot feel fear, same thing here"
"Battle thirsty idiot."
"Indeed so goodbye." Liliana continues to look down, does she regret that I will fight and die? For someone like me who antagonized her so much, that girl doesn't have the heart of a knight, after all they are just executioners who drop the axe at their lord's word.
"Even if no one visits your grave, I will Berius."
"Oh is that so? No need for that I said I wanted the grave of a nameless soldier, being faceless and fading away with the wind…I'd like a death like that."
"Even so, this knight will be selfish to remember the Black Fiend who brought so much trouble for her."
"Tch….Fine"
[Southerndown Beach]
It's night an unnatural silence is consuming the beach, looking at the sea a large armored knight stands, the armor a dark grey, a long dark blue cape fluttering around with a soundless wind, a pitch black chain surrounded him, suddenly he looks up. A blue armored metal "bird" is flying forward.
"Oh so that is the child who broke the seal? Impressive such an unassuming body yet so much steel within her gaze….Yes I shall enjoy this battle very much!" Unraveling a sword from his cape the knight prepares and throws the blade like a boomerang.
[Granzure's Pov (Roku Eiyuu Theme)]
"Hmph the scent is here but…."
"Meister?"
"It doesn't make sense, I mean wolves and metal what kind of magic being smells like that? Worst of it I can't tell if it is a god or an ancestor…."
"What a problematic being."
"Indeed….Sengo DODGE!" SLAM Damnit it all we're falling, where the hell did that huge ass block of steel come from?!
"Dragon slaying?! Meister jump off! I will guarantee your safety!"
"Fine let's do this Assassins from the other world are guided by darkness, stoking their hatred deeper than the fires of hell.! Become my edge and burn the World!" Yes this spell was somewhat nostalgic from me, after all 'Granzure' was born from darkness, flames and hatred and would fade away in such. I already accepted my fate.
"Eat this Midnight Hell Flare!" Those spell words of mine…heh am I a shounen protagonist or something?
[? POV]
Good so that girl managed to dodge my throw! I would be disappointed if she didn't! Oh she donned her Mount as Armor? It's a fine form black as the night clad with blood red trimming.
Ohoho her spirit is burning brightly! I can feel my old bones rattling with excitement.
"Midnight Hell Flare!" Summoning my blade once again I defend against the girl's flame covered kick. OH! To push me somewhat, have humans gotten stronger since my last appearance upon this world?
[END POV]
'This confirms it…this guy is a god' Granzure thought as she back flipped from the blade.
"Child what is your name?"
"Berius…yours?"
"I am the one known as Sigmund! Wielder of Gram, Lord of the Wolf-Skinned and the King of Vengeance!"
"Ha! Since when being a Berserker King is any reason for pride!"
"Hohoho such insolence! But that's fine too after all I was an 'Outlaw' for a while too, such language is really nostalgic to me!"
"Yo stop being so laid back, I might get a little mad."
"Hmm mine apologies for 'pissing on your style', that's what the humans of this era say right? But well those damned chains won't allow me to let me bare my fangs against opponents of mine caliber so someone like you might get this old blood mine boiling."
"Tch treating me as a 'quicky'? Even it's a God I won't allow such insult pass you know? Dainslef and Tyrfing are raring to go as well."
"I see! The young lady is a Warrior Drenched in Blood, a Death Seeker then? No you do not have the aura of such type. Still to wield Dainn's Dead Legacy and the Absolute Finality and not drown in power? Very impressive, Wotan would have made you a Valkyrie for sure! HAHAHA"
"Hmmm? I thought those Lunatics preferred little puppet einherjars?"
"Do not insult the Heroes girl, many may have died of hubris or foolishness but their skill is to be respected."
"Tough talk from someone who got killed by Wotan after he got all his use of you and Gram."
"SILENCE!"
"Hahaha did I hit a nerve? Oh man you freaks are so easy to get riled it's almost sad. Funny is that your ENTIRE BLOODLINE somehow screws things over everywhere they go! It's kinda sad…."
"Arm thyself!"
"Hmph feeling angry? Now you know what's like to be looked down upon Puppet Dog of Wotan!
Imprisoned I rage, I curse, I loath
Pitch Black Flames born of mine anger gather with the Bloodied Steel
Forge the Blade of Damnation
I curse thee; I curse thy children, I CURSE THY BLOOD!
Holding her hands with the palms meeting the ground, blood red lines gathered at the marked spot, quickly jumping back as the ground exploded with flames and blood Granzure held her hand and a sword that shone and gleamed like fire fell on her grip.
It held a hilt similar to a rapier, the blade was long and thin, the steel a blood red that shone even with the black flames surrounding the blade, the blade trembled all by itself
"War finally! Blood, blood I WANT BLOODSHED AND DESPAIR!"
"An unmanageable monster as usual huh Tyrfing? Well ENGARDE HERO OF REVENGE!"
"That kind of spirit is one that I can respect Mongrel!" Both blast at each other, the Steel of a God forged by strength and war…the Steel of a Human Evolution,Adaptation…which one is stronger?
