Salutation's internets! Sorry this chapter took so long to be released, but it's mostly fighting and, as I have repeatedly mentioned, I really struggle with fight scenes (not to mention winter break ended). As such, this is a disclaimer informing you about this chapters lack of length and quality (sorry 'bout that). Well anyway, enjoy and review (or don't)
To answer your questions:
Kaioo:….Yes
MBDking: Yeah, I'm trying to make the 'Organization' have a wide-reaching, supervillany (totally a word) feel.
Jack Jaxx: (You had a lot to write, so I might not get everything but…) Yes, that was an Apocalypse Alice reference back in chapter 9. Yes, there are some pretty bad fics on this site grammar wise, but they aren't all bad. And I can was only able to update that quickly because it was winter break (and coffee. Lots of coffee).
Chapter 24
Kamito cautiously eyed the three girls before him. They were all wearing the uniform of the Divine Ritual Institute and glaring at him menacingly. Seeing their stances, Kamito could tell that they were unused to combat, however…
'Ancient Weapon Spirits, was it? Those will be troublesome to deal with…' Kamito thought to himself, recalling what Reicha and Helena had told him about the spirits earlier.
'Wind spirit, Al'Akir. Elemental Waffe, Thunderhead allows the wielder to generate electricity and move at the speed of lighting.'
'Water spirit Neptulon. Elemental Waffe, Tidehunter allows the wielder to manipulate water, steam and ice. And…'
'Holy spirit San Peter. Elemental Waffe, unknown….' Though the other two spirits were incredibly powerful on their own, it was the unknown factor that made Kamito the most cautious. 'I should try to knock her out first…'
While Kamito was thinking about his next move, the Wind Queen stepped forward and pointed her crackling scimitar at him.
"If you're here, then does that mean you already killed Reicha and Helena!?" Elyssa asked, her green eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Hm, I wonder about that?" Kamito responded cryptically "I'll just say they're in a state that they wouldn't want anyone to see them in…"
"If you won't give a straight answer, then I'll just beat it out of you!" Elyssa cried out, dashing at Kamito with the speed of lightning. No, to be more precise, it was as if her body had actually turned into a bolt of electricity. Glowing an incandescent white, she brought down her scimitar at Kamito.
'She's fast…' Kamito thought, barely bringing the Demon Slayer up to block Elyssa's attack. As the two powerful elemental waffe clashed, the room began to smell of ozone.
"You're not just fighting Elyssa, you know!" As Haqua declared this, several tendrils of high-pressure water shot toward Kamito from the lance in her hands. In response, Kamito dodged to the left, the water tendrils carving furrows in the stone floor where he had been standing.
"Hm, just like water jets, huh? Those tendrils can probably cut through steel, so watch out master"
"Water jet? What's that?"
"I'm glad you asked! Basically when high-pressured water is—"
"NO! Someone stop Ivy before it's too late! Hours of exposition is the last thing we need right now!
"Both of you are pretty quick, but that won't be nearly enough beat me" Kamito declared tauntingly, ignoring the discussion between his contracted spirits.
"Tch, take this!" Elyssa swung her scimitar, which sent several balls of white lightning at Kamito.
"Restia!" In response to Kamito's cry, the Vorpal Sword in his left hand shot streams of black lighting at the balls of lightning, causing them to explode. This t threw up a huge cloud of dust which obscured the Queens' vision.
"Damn! Where is she?" Haqua exclaimed, instructing her water tendrils to sweep about the room.
However, in the instant that the lightning balls exploded, Kamito had already dashed behind Lux, who had yet to make a move!
'One down!' Kamito to himself as he brought the twin black and white swords down on the blonde Queen. However—
"You using swords is a hostile action against me."
—Lux calmly said this, not even bothering to turn around. As soon as the words left Lux's lips, the cross hanging behind her glowed with white light, and Kamito found himself unable to bring his swords down.
'A barrier? No, that's not it…' Rather than his attack being blocked, it was as if his own movements were being restrained 'Mind control then? I should be immune to effects like that, though!'
"Master Kamito, look up!" Hearing Est's warning, Kamito looked up from his contemplation to see Haqua's water tendrils stabbing at him.
"Tch, Restia Vorpal Blast!" Kamito declared, pointing his black blade at the water tendrils. However—
"Eh?"
The black lightning Kamito was expecting failed to appear. Completely taken aback, Kamito was barely able to dodge away from the unopposed water jets.
"Restia, what's going on!?"
"I don't know! I never received the energy you gathered for the Vorpal Blast"
"What!?...Wait, earlier what did Lux say—?"
Before Kamito could finish his thought, Elyssa swiped at Kamito with Thunderhead.
"Ugh!" Kamito tried to bring Est up to block, but once again he was unable carry out the intended action. Quickly flipping back several meters, Kamito distanced himself from the three Queens.
"Using swords is a hostile action...I believe that's what she said?" Kamito thought, piecing things together "Damn, if that means what I think it does, that's one troublesome elemental waffe…."
"Did you figure something out master Kamito?"
"Yeah. Sorry Restia, Est, but I need to use someone else right now" Kamito said, letting go of his swords, which disappeared into particles of light.
"Hm?" The Queens looked confused at Kamito's choice of action "Are you surrendering, Ren Ashbell?"
"As if" Kamito said, bringing his now empty hands together "Manifest, Star Bow of the Southern Sky!"
A great bow of blazing fire, outshining all of the light crystals in the room, manifested in Kamito's hands. Creating a shining, black arrow with Smithmaster's Forge, Kamito drew the flaming bow's string back, aiming at Lux. Before he could let the projectile fly, however—
"How dangerous. You using a bow is clearly a hostile action against me"
—Lux plainly stated thus. Try as he might, Kamito was unable to release the arrow. In fact, the blazing flames that were surrounding the bow had abruptly went out. Unsurprised, Kamito casually tossed the bow and arrow aside with a sigh.
"You really shouldn't be leaving your trash around the training room you know?" Lux commented amusedly as the arrow clattered noisily on the ground.
"You've got some nerve, calling a legendary dragon-slaying bow 'trash'…" Kamito said with an amazed expression. "Though, I supposed against a cheat-level waffe like yours, it's pretty much useless"
"Oh, you figured it out, even though I only used it twice?" Lux asked, surprised "As expected of the Strongest Blade Dancer"
"You weren't exactly taking great pains to hide it" Kamito said dryly "Basically, it prevents anyone from taking actions that you deem hostile right? It's not just on the level of restraining their movements or controlling their mind though"
"Indeed, my Peacemaker doesn't use cheap tricks like that. Instead, it rewrites the laws of the world that action I deem hostile or dangerous become literally impossible to carry out." Lux said proudly, like a mother bragging about her children.
Peacemaker was quite a remarkable elemental waffe, capable of altering the state of the entire universe. If its user declared that breathing was a hostile action, than every living thing would cease breathing. If it was declared that falling objects were dangerous, then gravity itself would cease to exist. Despite having no direct combat ability, it was undoubtedly the most dangerous of the Ancient Weapon elemental waffe. However—
'Luckily, it seems that girl has no idea how powerful a waffe she's using' Kamito thought calmly to himself. 'She's only been limiting my weapon usage so far'
A waffe like Peacemaker depended on the imagination of the user. While it was possible that Lux was holding back to toy with Kamito, that didn't seem to fit Lux's personality. It seemed that the Holy Queen was unable to bring out the full potential of her waffe.
"I do believe the phrase to use here is 'throwing pearls before swine'"
"Calling a Queen swine? How audacious of you Phenix"
"His children are even worse….but you know what they say about people with golden hair…"
"Don't. That's offensive."
'She is a bit simply minded though…let's try this' Kamito though grimly, summoning another elemental waffe.
"Oh, is it hammer time now?" Lux asked with a bored expression, seeing Kamito approach her with a hammer in hand "Just changing weapons won't do it you know?"
"…" Kamito remained silent, then suddenly vanished from the Queens' sight. Appearing behind Lux, Kamito brought his waffe down on the Holy Queen with a mighty blow.
"Didn't I already say it's useless? You using a hammer is a hostile action against me" Lux declared with a sing-song voice "I guess you're all brawn and no brai—"
"Lux, watch out!" Haqua cried out.
"It's fine Haqua, she's….eh?"
Even though his actions should have been restricted by the Peacemaker, Kamito's attack was continuing. The hammer was centimeters away from striking Lux's head when—
"Icy winds of the cold north, come forth and protect my friend—Glacial Barrier!"
—A wall of ice formed between the oncoming hammer and Lux. Though the weapon easily destroyed the ice wall, the blow was diverted a bit. Instead of striking Lux's head, the weapon only hit the girl's shoulder.
"Gah!" Using the momentum of the blow, Lux rolled away from Kamito, leaving a trail of bright red blood on the white tiled floor as she did. 'H-How the hell did she hit me!?'
"Hold on, let me check the wound!" Haqua said, running to Lux as she prepared a healing spell. As that happened, Elyssa charged at Kamito with unearthly speed, preventing him from finishing off Lux. The two exchanged a flurry of swift blows as Haqua healed Lux's wound.
"Ah, that was dangerous! If I hadn't cast Glacial Barrier, you might have died!" Haqua exclaimed, casting healing spirit magic. "Even with it shielding you, you still got a nasty cut"
"Oh, it's nothing you can't handle" The blonde Queen returned "What I'm more worried about is how she was still able to hit me with Peacemaker active! It shouldn't be possible yet….wait, did you just say cut?"
"Yeah, it's a really deep one as well. That must have been one sharp ham…..wait, what?" Realizing what she was just about to say, Haqua stared at Lux questioningly, who also had a confused expression.
The two of them then looked at Elyssa and Kamito, who were still engaged in combat. Though the Wind Queen was moving faster than Kamito, she was clearly losing. Kamito nimbly dodged or blocked all of Elyssa's strikes and returned each attack with a graceful counter. As entrancing as it was, however, it wasn't Kamito's Blade Dance that was drawing the twos' attention.
"That fighting style…."
"Those wounds…"
""She's not using a hammer is she!?""
Indeed, Kamito was twirling his 'hammer' in a way that was unfitting for a weapon that had its center of mass so close to its head. This, coupled by the fact that the wounds the 'hammer' was cutting Elyssa, not inflicting blunt trauma, revealed how Kamito managed to deal with Peacemaker.
"You disguised your waffe's true from with an illusion spell, huh?" Lux declared angrily "How about this then; any spirit magic you use is a danger to me!"
The Peacemaker glowed white, and the shape of Kamito's 'hammer' distorted, revealing its true form; a large green halberd with a blade covered in frost. Seeing that his illusion had been dispelled, Kamito distanced himself from Elyssa.
"Tsk, so you figured it out, huh?" Kamito said, clicking his tongue. "I was hoping to take down at least one of you before you saw through my little trick"
"Humph, you'll have to do better than that!" Lux declared haughtily "I made so you can't use illusion magic anymore, but just to be safe; you using any weapon is a hostile action toward me!"
"How predictable!" Kamito exclaimed, tossing aside the halberd in his hands. "Homulily, Hourglass Buckler!"
Instantly, a plain looking grey buckler appeared around Kamito's left arm.
"! ! ! I don't know what that does, but it must be dangerous!" Lux thought to herself "You using shields is—"
"Too slow"
The golden-haired girl's words were suddenly cut off, however, by time itself stopping. The world took on a grey hue as Kamito looked at the time-frozen Queen.
"Humph, what a troublesome foe. I should have just done this from the start" Kamito complained "Well, either way, it looks like this is my win"
Kamito walked up to the frozen Lux and wound up for a punch. Just has he was about strike—
"Master, watch out!"
"Wha—!? "
Whirling around, Kamito saw a glowing white flash heading straight for him at light speed. Straining her Thunderhead to its utmost limits, Elyssa had managed to reach a speed that ignored the flow of time altogether, a speed comparable to light itself.
"TAKE THIS REN ASHBELL! ! !" Elyssa screamed, swinging down her scimitar with all her might
"Can't dodge…!" Kamito judged from her godlike speed and his disadvantageous position that evasion was impossible.
Rather than futilely attempt to avoid Elyssa's attack, Kamito deflected the green-haired girl's slash with his left hand, and at the same time sent the Wind Queen flying with his right!
Taking Kamito's blow head on, Elyssa was smashed into a distant wall and immediately was rendered unconscious. In exchange, however—
"—A hostile action toward me….huh?"
—Kamito's left arm had been completely carbonized by Thunderhead's lightning, allowing the flow of time to return to normal.
"In conclusion, the top priority now should be to formulate a plan of attack for situation in which we get separated from Ren-sama."
All alone, Claire paced the empty room while reading a book, thinking deeply about battle tactics. Claire had absolute confidence in Ren's abilities, but in the drawn out, battle royale that was to start the next day, it was impossible to be certain that Ren would always be present.
"Hm, Ellis will find it too hard to attack at the frontline by herself, should I also remain at the front? If I do, I'd worry about something happening to Fianna at the rear though..."
Fianna had received virtually no combat training, so her usual role was to provide assistance from the rear through her rituals, which would increase the power of spirits. If Claire were to take the vanguard, then Fianna's defense would depend on Rinslet.
"Rinslet would have to be both rear guard and sniper…no, she's good, but that's probably too much…" Claire crumpled up the piece of paper she had been making notes on and threw it away. Scarlet helped her by turning the waste paper on the floor into ashes.
"I've thought for so long and I still haven't come up with any good ideas...Ugh, we really are too dependent on Ren-sama" Claire complained, unable to think of a solution. "I wish there were some way to lessen her burdens….This isn't the time to be moping! I'll analyze the other teams!"
Motivating herself, Claire took out a large folder containing info on the other teams. Claire flipped open the document and looked down at its first page.
What was written on it was – the Team Representing the Religious Country of Alphas: Team Inferno.
"….Damn, the most threatening team is also the most secretive, huh?" The forms on the document were virtually all blank, as not even the names of the all the team members were listed. The only information they had about this enemy's capability was the elementalist girl who had saved Claire last night, Muir Alenstarl.
"If we have to fight five people of her level, even Ren-sama might lose…" Claire mumbled to herself "….No, I shouldn't think about it. Let's see, next is…"
Of the twenty four teams from participating, Claire judged that the ones they most needed to watch out for were the Team Four Gods of Quina, the Team Sacred Knights of the Holy Kingdom of Lugia, Milla Bassett, a talented young elementalist the Principality of Rossvale as part of the Rupture Division, and—
"Leonora Lancaster, and Team Dragon Knights…apparently in the qualifying tournament for Dracunia's teammates, she defeated all her competition in minutes. She's an AAA ranked elementalist, huh…" Claire read the file carefully "…when her blood-line trait, Dragon Blood, is active, she's considered…S-rank!? That's the same as Ren-sama!"
Though Ren Ashbell's rank was only based on her performance in the Blade Dance three years ago, if Leonora was truly S-rank, then she'd be an incredibly tough opponent.
"Uuu….If at all possible, let's try to avoid fighting her—*yawn*" Claire's train of thought was cut off as she let out a cute yawn "….Whew, it's already this late? I should get to bed"
Changing into her pajamas, Claire walked up to her bed. When she glanced at the two empty beds in the room, she couldn't help but feel a bit lonely.
"Hmm….come back soon Ren-sama…." Claire murmured sleepily, before consciousness left her.
"Ugh" Kamito clutched the charred, black mess that had been his left arm as he cautiously glanced at the two remaining Queens.
"Does it hurt, Master?"
"Obviously…not? I guess my pain receptors were incinerated like the rest of my arm, so it doesn't hurt at all. Rather than the loss of my arm, the fact that Lux made using shields useless is more painful. I don't have any other waffe that can stop time that isn't considered a 'weapon'."
"W-What's going on!? Elyssa, are you alright!?" Though she was confused by how circumstances had changed in an instant, Haqua worriedly ran to her downed companion.
As the purple-haired girl did this, Kamito ripped off his charred left arm, tossing it aside "Wesker, Uroboros Strain"
A mass of black, writhing tentacles erupted from his stump. They squirmed about, then grew into a new left arm. Clenching his fist a few times, Kamito tested out his arm.
'Hm, exactly the same. Your regeneration ability is as impressive as always, Wesker'
"Humph, thanks for the praise"
"You really are a mixed bag of tricks…" Lux said, looking disgusted by what she just saw "…How about this then? You summoning any more Elemental Waffe is a hostile action against me! You healing is a danger to me!"
'Heh, she's really getting better at using that waffe…' Kamito dully noticed '…but really, this situation is the worst…Elemental Waffe, Spirit Magic, and Weapon usage is being denied, and there's still two Queens left to deal with'
Seeing that his two opponents had regained their composure, Kamito once again took a fighting stance.
"You'll pay for doing that to Elyssa!" Haqua declared with rage in her voice. Swinging her spear up, she sent a small tsunami at Kamito.
"Hah!" Kamito gathered spirit energy to his hand and struck the incoming wave with his palm. With a bright flash, the wall of water exploded outwards.
"Kyaa!" Taking advantage of the girl's surprise, Kamito rushed at Lux through the hole in the wave that he had created.
"Like I'd let you!" Having gotten over her astonishment, Haqua pointed her lance at Kamito, sending several tendrils of high-pressure water at him.
"Humph" Kamito calmly decided to switch targets. Leaping gracefully onto the rushing mass of water, he dashed straight at Haqua.
"Wha—!?" Shocked at his actions, Haqua jumped back, but wasn't quite fast enough.
"Take this" Kamito leapt off the water tendril, and preformed a spinning drop kick.
"Ugh, Icy winds of the cold north, come forth and protect me—Glacial Barrier!" Summoning an ice wall to block Kamito's attack, Haqua narrowly avoided being taken out. Kamito's attack crashed through the ice wall, but was delayed long enough for Haqua to run away it.
"Tch" Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Kamito chased after the retreating Water Queen, but—
"You running is a hostile action against me"
—Was forced to slow down to a walk by Lux's restriction.
"That's getting really annoying, you know!?" Kamito exclaimed angrily. Though he was restricted to only 'fast walking', he could still move faster than the sprinting speed of most people. Keeping his center of gravity low and his hands close to the ground, Kamito caught up to Haqua and brought his fist up in an uppercut.
"Gah!" Haqua barely managed to move her head away from Kamito's punch, the air pressure of the blow leaving a slight cut on her right cheek. Kamito brought his fist back, and prepared for another attack but—
"You hitting people with your hands or legs are hostile actions against me"
—Was once again restrained by the Peacemaker. Kamito's fist stopped centimeters from Haqua's stomach.
"Hah, you're open now!" Now able to attack without fear of retribution, Haqua stabbed her Tidehunter straight at Kamito's heart! His demise seemed inevitable, but then—
"Gah!?"
—Haqua suddenly felt a stinging pain on her shoulder. The pain skewed her aim, so she stabbed into Kamito's gut rather than his heart.
"What was that!?" Haqua looked confusedly at her shoulder and saw that an ice shard was lodged in it.
"H-How…?"
"Heh, what comes up…*cough, cough*"
"I see…that upper cut wasn't an attempt to punch me, but to throw that ice shard into the air, huh?" Haqua said, pulling the ice shard from her shoulder
"A piece of ice isn't a 'weapon' after all"
"Very impressive, but you can't possibly win; you don't have any other means of attack now" Haqua said, staring at Kamito resolutely "Surrender now, and I'll consider letting you live"
"Humph, I'm not quite done yet" Kamito said, taking a step towards Haqua, then another. Though Tidehunter was still impaled in his abdomen, Kamito continued forward regardless.
"Are you suicidal!? Unless that wound is treated immediately, you'll die!" Haqua tried to pull Tidehunter out, but Kamito kept it in place.
"I…wonder…about that…" Kamito grunted in pain, continuing his relentless march.
"N-No, d-don't come any further!" Though the rational part of her mind knew that Kamito shouldn't have any more means of attack, she was struck by an overwhelming sense terror of the advancing girl (?). "S-Stay back! You hear me!? Stay back!"
"Heh…got…you…!" Kamito exclaimed, grabbing onto Haqua's shoulders.
'SCARY, SCARY, SCARY! ! !' Completely terrified, Haqua channeled all her power into Tidehunter, and used it's most powerful ability "RUPTURE!"
In an instant, all of the water in Kamito's body below the waist vaporized, rapidly expanding as it turned into steam. Bulging out briefly at first, Kamito's entire lower half then burst with a sickening pop. A red mist instantly filled the room, and blood began to pour out of what was once Kamito's stomach. Despite having taken such horrific damage though—
"King…takes…Queen…"
—Kamito still hadn't let go of Haqua. Pulling up with all of his might, Kamito head-butt Haqua in the chin, knocking her out instantly.
"Gah…I take back what I said earlier…now the situation is really the worst…" Kamito said, flopping down on the ground pathetically, coughing up blood. Haqua's unconscious body had been knocked some distance away.
""""MASTER! ! !""" All of Kamito's spirits expressed their worry, except—
"Heh, I guess you're 'half the man you used to be' eh, Kamito? Though right now 'half the woman' would be more accurate"
"Ha ha, is this really the time for jokes Restia…?" Kamito grumbled.
*Step*
Though all of his senses were beginning to dull, Kamito still heard the footsteps heading towards him, and looked up. Before him, Lux was staring down at what remained of Kamito with Peacemaker floating directly behind her.
"Even in that state, you're as beautiful as ever…" Lux murmured "….Really, to have defeated two Queens while under Peacemaker's laws, you sure are a ridiculous existence"
"Heh…to have earned your praise…such…an honor" Kamito wheezed sarcastically, as he felt his lifeblood ceaselessly pour from what remained of his abdomen.
"I really can't take chances with someone as ludicrous as you." Lux declared, glaring down on Kamito "You breathing is dangerous to me!"
Kamito felt his breath catch, as he became unable to take in air.
'It sure nice to be taken as such a serious threat, but it doesn't exactly change anything…' Kamito thought as his vison began to fade to black.
And then—
Kamito Kazehaya died.
The End.
Yep, that's how it all ends. I really wanted to do the whole series, but this semester is just too busy, so this is where it ends. It was fun while it lasted, and thank you all for your support but—
"Yare, Yare, just who do you think you are, trying to kill me off like that?"
W-What!?
In some nerd's room, absolute darkness fell, obscuring even the computer screen right in front of the nerd's face. The nerd could feel a powerful, inhuman presence from behind, but was far to terrified to look back.
"Humph, do you think someone as pathetic as your could control my fate? You overestimate yourself…"
Y-You can't be!?
The nerd could hear an ominous voice coming from behind. The nerd couldn't tell whether the voice was male or female, but it seemed oddly familiar for some reason.
"Oh, you forgot already? You just tried to kill me off just now"
T-This is impossible! Y-You don't exist! You're just a piece of fiction that's not even canon!
"Humph, I've existed long before you were born, and will continue to exist long after you die. I've let you play around with the fate of my world for a while now, but you forgot yourself, trying to kill me, Ren Ashdoll. It is time to pay your dues"
D-Don't speak nonsense! I'll just delete all of my drafts and remove this fic from the site! You can't do a—
"Silence"
Hghk!?
Suddenly, the nerd was unable to breathe, as if the darkness around the nerd was strangling the nerd.
"You should really show more respect to your betters, child"
Y-Yes Ashdoll-sama…
"Good. I'd punish you more, but I still have a Holy Queen to deal with. Restia, you take care of the rest"
Though the ominous presence from behind could no longer be felt, the nerd was still surrounded by shadows. A pure, bell-like voice was then heard from the shadows.
"Ah, I wasn't able to help Kamito at all that last fight, so I'll take all my pent up stress on you!"
W-Wait! P-Please show mercy!
"Mercy, huh? Well, it was thanks to you that a possibility that Kamito and I weren't separated for three years was created…."
Y-Yeah, w-we definitely aren't enemies or anything
"…But…"
B-B-But what…?
"Just whose master do you think you were trying to kill off? You shall receive no mercy from me"
Gaaaaaaaaaaah! ! !
Because of the graphic nature of what happened next, we will instead segway into a omake (hey, at least it isn't a slideshow of 'nice' boats)
Omake: Bad End 1, Overkill
"Hm, that unknown ability of Lux's Elemental Waffe is probably dangerous" Kamito thought to himself as he prepared to initiate combat with the three Queens before him.
"What's wrong Ren Ashbell, lose you nerve?" Elyssa asked mockingly.
"The safest thing to do is to attack with all my strength!" Kamito decided, ignoring Elyssa's taunt "Darth Sidious! Death Star!"
At Kamito's words, the roof of the Grand Shrine's training room was pulled up by the gravitational pull of the enormous elemental waffe that had manifested itself. Blocking the light of the night sky, the enormous waffe loomed over the three Queens.
"T-That's quite the elemental waffe but, you using a moon is a hostile action against me!" Lux shouted confidently, the cross floating behind her glowing white. "Heh, now that giant waffe can't do a thing to me!"
"Sorry Lux, but that's no moon…" Kamito said with a cocky grin, as the Death Star's superlaser began to charge "…it's a space station. A full operational one at that. Death Star, fire!"
All of Astral Zero was utterly annihilated, killing everyone except for Kamito.
"Ahahaha….oops.I guess I went a bit overboard... Chosen Undead, Bonfire!" Kamito called out in the dead of space "Let's try that again, shall we…."
For those of you who didn't get the joke, this series is not in fact dropped. That being said, my classes seem pretty tough this year, so updates might get slower. And no, Kamito will not be coming back to life in 19 months with a cybernetic eye. How does something that stupid even occur?
Next time, the main event finally begins, yay! Still not too sure how to handle most of the events during the Blade Dance, so if you have any suggestions, I'm willing to consider them.
