The Demon Sword Tournament returns in the final two rounds in one day. The first round will go through, then takes a break for half an hour to let the winners recover and prepare for the next round. The next round would result in a three way match, having three people to fight each other to determine who will be the last person standing. The winner shall be put on the records as the winner of this year's tournament and will be crown a trophy for their success.
Xenovia and Millicas was next to fight, both are ready to test their strength against each other. Despite having the two almost losing their matches, they manage to pull off the impossible and they have to do it a second time.
Before Xenovia came into the arena, she was met by Rias, who was waiting for Xenovia in the lower levels. Xenovia stops and says her name "Rias."
"I wanted to speak to you before confronting Millicas."
"I actually thought of asking you. I should have asked you earlier about this, but…"
"I'll make sure that his parents and myself will not harm you if you hurt Millicas. I've already mentioned this and they are alright."
"Thank you. However, fighting Millicas is…"
"Hard to fight because he's my aunt?"
"Yeah."
"You'll be alright. If Millicas can forgive what Ikki did to him, then he'll forgive you."
Xenovia nods "Thank you, Rias." She looks forward and begins entering the arena.
Millicas arrives first in the arena, looking up at the fans as he introduces himself and got the fans cheering for him. He got a smirk on his face when hearing them cheering for him. He gets into the arena, turns around to face the entrance, crossing his arms and waiting for Xenovia to come through. She took her time, since she was talking to Rias and would finally arrive to the scene with her sword that she leans against her shoulder.
Beowulf comes in between the two when they stand face to face, but away from one another, so that they could make a good charge against each other when they begin.
"You ready for this?" Beowulf asks "Cause there's no turning back from the finals."
"I had to ask Rias' permission to fight you, Millicas." Xenovia replies "I no longer have to hold back against you."
"Thanks." Millicas snaps his fingers and his sword appears in front of him. His sword was reforge again and begins wrapping his power of his destructive aura around the blade again.
Xenovia moves her sword in front of her and holds onto it with both hands. Millicas does the same thing and waits for Beowulf to begin the match. "Let's get this fight over with, shall we? Begin!"
Millicas charges at full speed towards Xenovia, swinging straight through her and suddenly vanishes when his blade hit her. He manage to strike only an illusion, while the real Xenovia was right behind him and Millicas quickly blocks her incoming attack. She hit his sword and made Millicas struggles to push her back, she would overpower him and forces him to jump back to send her swing hitting the ground. Xenovia continues by raising her sword in the air, changing the appearance by extending the blade and swings hard down upon Millicas. He blocks it with his sword, quickly getting the sword to hit the ground next to him and counter with a destructive blast with his sword, thus hitting Xenovia and consuming her with his destructive power.
After the smoke clears, Xenovia still stands there with her sword in front of her, aiming the tip of it to the floor and leans her left arm against the blade. Her sword went back to original size before the blast actually hit her. When Millicas got sight of Xenovia still standing, he charges in and so does she, both clashing their swords together for a couple of times. Millicas tries to catch her off guard, by suddenly snapping his finger and causing his sword to vanish, thus bringing Durandal falling to the ground and give Millicas to attack with full force with his destructive power. At close range, he sends Xenovia flying and collapsing hard onto the floor. He then attacks her again with his sword returning to reality, he swings it horizontally through the air and unleashes a barrage of destructive missiles towards her. Xenovia tries to avoid the incoming barrages by using her incredible speed to the side, and during the clearing, she changes her sword into the shape of a katana with the same colours as her Durandal, then when aiming towards Millicas, she extends the blade with perfect speed towards Millicas. Millicas tries to avoid it, but took a strike pierces his left shoulder and forces Millicas to lower his body when Xenovia lowers her sword down to make the damage greater, but Millicas got out of there with just a cut.
"She's doing well against Millicas." Kiba replies while still watching with the others.
"Of course, by fusing the Excalibur fragments with Durandal, the sword gained a handful of abilities." Kiba replies "She uses the incredible speed she has, plus the power to transform the sword into any shape and size it desires."
"Incredible." Irina responds "She might have a chance."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Akeno said
And so the two kept clashing for over ten minutes with both standing strong against one another. Millicas was performing mostly long range attacks at Xenovia and forces her to attack Millicas at her quick speed to try and catch him. Her speed was incredible to match against his, and during the catch, she clashes her sword against his, forcing his sword to move to the side with the Durandal holding on top of it. Millicas plans to perform a second sneak attack by making his sword vanish, but just as he did that, Xenovia swings her sword forward at Millicas, and suddenly made Millicas to duck, as he knew she would not fall for the same attack twice. He caught her off guard with this duck and made him attack with another close range attack with his destructive power, thus sending Xenovia flying again, crashing hard to the ground and not coming back up this time.
"Damn, what a shot." Beowulf replies and soon looks back to hear the crowd cheering for the final shot. He smirks and walks over to Xenovia, who remains on the floor and struggles to get up off the ground. When he comes up to her, he replies "You were very close there, Xenovia. You would have gotten his throat if he didn't duck." He looks back to Millicas, seeing him coming over to her to pay her respect.
Millicas crouches down to her and grabs one of her hands "Thank you Xenovia. You did great out there." He smiles to her and stays with her until the medical team came in to get her out of here.
Millicas watches her leave and finally departs from the arena to let the others take over. He decides to stand in the open, just outside of the arena to watch it at a good view. He hopes to watch and take notes on what is about to happen here, and hope that this will be enough to learn on fighting his next opponent in the final round.
Samuel and Agathos arrives together in the arena, both not speaking to each other, but eager to clash swords against one another in the arena. When they arrive in the arena, the two turns to face each other and draws out their weapons to prepare themselves for the fight to come.
"So, I'm fighting the real Agathos." Samuel replies "I'm surprise you came out here like that."
Agathos looks out at the crowd, then back to Samuel "Be prepare for what is about to happen." He moves his sword against the side of his waist with both hands to it and facing the tip of it behind him.
"I see… That's what you want to play." Samuel sheathes his swords and keeps his hands against the both of them
"What are they doing?" Stella asks
"There doing the quick draw attack." Millicas replies "Can't remember what it's called."
"Iaijutsu." Tohka replies "It's a competitive quick draw attack. It is mostly done by two opponents with a single katana sword."
"But Samuel has two and Agathos has –"
"They know that."
Both Agathos and Samuel went at fast speed, performing the quick attack on each other and both standing in the same position the other was standing. They stand there for a few seconds, until they soon move their bodies and begin to hear the cuts they put on the other's body. Samuel notices a strike across his right arm, while Agathos took two electrical cuts on his left waist and a cut across the side of his face. Agathos looks back to Samuel, swiping the blood across his face and moves his hand down to grab his waist, which gets a sudden electric burst when just touching the wound. As for Samuel, he looks back to Agathos, touching his arm and starts to feel that his cut felt much deeper and more painful.
"My arm…" Samuel mutters to himself and looks back to Agathos "What did he do?"
Agathos stands at the ready with both hands on his sword "Ready when you are, Samuel."
"Now that I think about it. He never even once used his sword's abilities and its name." Samuel thought about it and decides to go running towards him "Better learn it the hard way."
Samuel came for a jump in the air and stabs the ground with both swords, which forces Agathos to jump back when seeing the electricity flowing across the ground around Samuel, thus creating a circle electric field around Samuel for a while. This made Agathos to take flight and made Samuel to also take flight to clash swords together. When they clash swords, the two lands back down to the ground to see the damage that was done to them, which was a scar across the chest of Agathos and a small cut to the right leg of Samuel. Samuel looks down at his right leg to see the damage, a small, but serious pain was coming from that cut, just like the previous cut he too.
"That sword of his…" Samuel thought to himself and turns around to face Agathos "Is it a Holy Sword?"
Agathos looks back to Samuel for a while until he uses some magic against him. He creates a symbol underneath him, suddenly teleports without a trace and forces Samuel to look around to find him. The moment he saw him coming, he quickly charges in with both swords at the ready and hits against his sword. This would cause the skirmish between the two to go on for a while longer with Samuel performing some of his skills with the Blue Raikiri, and Agathos with his speed, magic and the unknown power from the sword he wields.
While the fight wages on for much longer, Samuel backs away and begins using rapid fire with his lightning attacks, which forces Agathos to move to the side to miss most of the projectiles. Samuel comes charging back up, but Agathos uses his teleportation spell again, forcing him to stop and turns around to block an incoming attack. Before the two would clash swords, Samuel surprises Agathos with a swing that creates a crescent-shaped blast of lightning towards Agathos. With no way of blocking this, he uses his sword as his last defence to counter this lightning blast, but sook serious damage to the aftermath and would get worse when Samuel comes running in on the side to perform it again to finish this off. With no way of blocking this, Agathos performs his last trump card to protect himself against this. The moment that second attack got him, the blast consumes him, but the effects did not hurt Agathos and simply vanishes without any damage at all. Samuel pauses and looks at the stance Agathos was standing, seeing he just use the pommel of his sword to block the incoming attack.
"No way…" Samuel said, astonished to witness a strong attack, lose to just the pommel of the sword. He asks "That sword is not just any sword, isn't it? What's it called?"
Agathos moves the blade in front of his face and looks back to Samuel "This is the famous sword Joyeuse. It's the famous sword that some believe to have been forged to contain the Lance of Longinus within the pommel."
"No… That would mean that my –" Samuel stops and notices Agathos moving his sword to the side of his body, with both hands to it and aiming the tip of the blade back from him. He quickly defend himself, despite knowing that he faces a very powerful blade that has not reveal most of its potential.
Agathos comes in for a quick speed and swings his sword forward, while Samuel tries to defend himself against his attack with both swings of his sword and a blast of lightning. The moment that the two swords collide, this time, Agathos succeeds against his two swords and manage to shatter both these blades with one swing. At the end, Agathos stands behind him after performing his swing and remains in a frozen position with Samuel, until he moves forward, lowering his sword and waits for Samuel to collapse onto the floor.
The crowd was shock at this attack, unsure how Agathos manage to break through his swords and reign victorious against this. Samuel's friends did notice a flow of blood surrounding him, after he took that strike to the chest and was severe. Despite wielding two katana swords, his blades are no match against the Joyeuse.
Agathos looks back to Samuel and walks over when noticing him still conscious from that attack. Samuel lays there on his blood, trying to figure out what went wrong and thought that it would have been best if he went all out from the start.
"Do you want to know what went wrong?" Agathos asks "You're attacks wouldn't be able to punch through my sword. If you shut your eyes and used that technique, the one you used against your previous match, this would have lasted much longer." He steps closer and crouches down next to him, while Beowulf approaches them and calls for help. Agathos asks "Want to know why your pain feels much more than usual? My sword has a slight power of the Longinus, making it easily officiant against devils."
Samuel gets on a stretcher and gets out of the arena, while both Beowulf and Agathos watches him leave. As he leaves the arena, Agathos looks back towards Grayfia and the others that sits together with her. He stares for a while until he finally looks forward and takes his leave from the arena.
Before the next battle can begin, they decide to take a break and allow many of Samuel's friends to visit him. When he recovers, he wakes up to find his sister Tohka standing next to him and looks to the others near him.
"Samuel…"
Samuel keeps his eyes half open, slowly blinking a few times and sighs from the mouth. "Where…" He moves his right hand over his eyes and replies "Where am I?"
"You're in the infirmary." Tohka responds "You took a serious blow from Agathos."
Samuel remains quiet and still keeps his hand over his eyes. He eventually replies "I lost…."
"At least you tried." Ayase speaks up "I was worried there. You almost had him though."
"Almost…."
"Hey, at least you lasted longer than Adria." Millicas replies
"Hey!"
"And now there are four of us." Tohka said and moves back from Samuel. She turns her attention to Stella and Stella back to her "Our match is next."
"I'm ready for that."
"Wait…" Samuel slowly sits up and groans a bit when still feeling the slight pain to his chest. He lowers his right hand over his chest and looks over to Millicas "You're going to have to fight him next. Be ready to use anything you can to defeat him."
"That's what I'm planning on doing."
"You're sword may not work this time, so you probably going to have to use something else to defeat him."
"Don't worry, I'm working on it."
"I doubt you are. You can't hold back against them. If you want to face Vali, you got to have to get you're A game in this."
"I'm not going to make the third mistake." Millicas said "After what happen with Xenovia and Ikki, I'm ready this time."
Both Stella and Tohka takes their leave from the room and walks together towards the arena. When they stand in the middle, the two looks to one another and nods to each other when they are ready. As soon as they take positions to face one another, Millicas and everyone else beside him, stands beside Samuel to watch this interesting fight.
"This shall be promising." Sirzechs replies
"Do you think Stella could win this?" Issei asks Rias
"Tohka has better speed than Stella, but if she uses her powers properly, she'll succeed." Rias replies
"But if Stella should win, would Millicas really fight her in the finals?" Issei asks
"Perhaps." Sirzechs replies "They'll forgive each other and then kiss and make up afterwards." He chuckles
"Let's see how this goes."
Stella quickly starts off with a protection of flames around her body, like a dress to protect herself against Tohka's first attack. She shot Stella with a rapid fire attack of lightning, only hitting Stella's sword that she held in front of her and engulfs it into flames. While Tohka retreats back and continues to use rapid fire from her lightning from a far, Stella attacks with her flaming serpents she brings in front of her as protection. She brings forth a massive fire dragon in front of her and sends it charging after Tohka, forces her to go on the defensive against that dragon, while Stella tries to ensnare Tohka by her own attack against her. She backs away and gets the dragon to take a bite through the ground, while she jumps to the side and attacks with a crescent-shaped blast of lightning from her blade.
As the trap was sprung, Stella comes forth a few flaming projectiles towards Tohka, but only hitting the grounds around her to cause a distraction. When she comes flying out of the smoke and flames, Stella was ready to come flying in and swings her flaming sword straight to Tohka. She swings forth to perform Raikiri, which annihilates Stella. As the dragon and Stella perishes, Tohka realises she just hit a mirage, thanks to one of Stella's technique known as Flame Veil, which makes a mirage of themselves or hide the user by refracting the light of her flames. The real Stella attacks with another technique, called Bahamut Howl, which surrounds mostly the entire arena in flames and forces Tohka and Beowulf to take flight to avoid the incoming flames.
"Damn, Stella isn't pulling any punches from this." Millicas said
"She's hitting Tohka with everything she's got." Samuel replies "But she has to be careful."
Tohka stays in the sky and looks down at Stella. She comes down for a dive against Stella, but she was ready for this and attacks with a few flaming serpents to protect herself. Tohka launches her attack, called the Inazuma, where the user creates a magnetic field around her, which increases the speed from her swings. With the ability, Tohka is capable of both blocking and attacking at a much faster rate, thus breaking the three smaller dragons around her and comes for a dive to swing down at Stella. Stella tries to defend herself, only blocking her first attack and unable to block her next counter, which was extraordinary speeds that not even Stella could counter it. Her sword was fast enough to lay a few strikes across Stella's body and broke through her flaming dress that was her last defence. With it gone, Tohka ends this with a victory, when witnessing Stella collapsing onto the floor from that decisive blow that ends it right here.
Millicas and everyone was shock to witness this, Stella, loses the battle against Tohka, and is now face to take her leave out of the Demon Sword Tournament. With her out, Tohka advances to the final, where she faces off against Millicas and Agathos to determine who will be the winner of this tournament.
Millicas rushes over to see Stella in the medical room next to Samuel. She was unconscious for a time, but when she wakes up, she sees Millicas, standing before her with a smile on his face.
"Stella."
". . . Millicas?" Stella slowly moves her hand over and makes Millicas grab a hold it with both hands. She looks sadden at what happen to her and replies ". . . I'm so sorry."
"It's okay Stella. I'm not mad at you. You did nothing wrong."
"I broke our promise."
"The promise can still be done."
"Millicas Gremory!" One of the devils calls out to him from behind "Your match is coming, so you better get ready to get into the ring."
Millicas looks back to the devil and responds "Give me a second." Then looks back to Stella and moves his other hand against the side of her face "You're going to be alright. I have to go now, so I hope you cheer for me."
And so there was only three members of the Demon Sword Tournament still in the tournament. The three take a break for a moment before they face each other in the arena. For now, they increase the protection of the shield that surrounds the arena and allow them to fight at full strength, if they decide to go in full force.
Agathos, Tohka and Millicas comes together in the middle of the arena, here the crowd cheer like crazy to all three of them, even to Agathos, who is son to a terrorist in the underworld. All they could do now is try not to get this over their head and focus on the fight ahead of them.
Before things could begin, Azazel comes down to the arena to say a few words to them "Congratulations, fighters, from reaching this last round of the tournament. You three have reach far beyond the other competitors and I'm glad you have done an amazing job on giving the crowd an amazing show. They really adore you. Unfortunately, only one of you is allow to stand victorious and claim the prize." He looks back to the VIP area and shows them a golden trophy that they unveil for everyone to see.
"I'm looking forward on putting that in my room." Millicas replies and looks back to the two
"That trophy is the only thing I want right now, so I don't care if you have to suffer to submit." Agathos responds
"I'm ready for the both of you." Tohka replies "So let's stop with the trash talks." She then grabs onto the handle of her sword, while still in the sheath.
"Just remember." Beowulf speaks up "When I see you unable to compete anymore, I will step in to stop the other from killing you. You make sure you don't step out of line, or you'll be dealing with me."
The three stands at the ready for this fight, waiting for the call to finally charge in to do battle. When they hear it, Millicas makes the first move against the both of them, by creating a small orb in his left hand and throws it into the sky. While it flies in the air, it breaks and sends forth a barrage of destructive projectiles to come crashing down above the two. Both looks at the incoming attacks and manage to avoid the many projectiles easily, but Agathos looks to the right to find Millicas coming in with his sword towards him.
"So, you've decided to come after me?" Agathos replies after he held his sword against his with just one hand to it
"It's a free-for-all." Millicas replies "But I did promise Samuel to attack you first."
"Of course –" Agathos stops and turns his head to the left to see incoming lightning attacks from Tohka. He pushes Millicas back and forces the two to fly back to avoid the incoming lightning attacks.
Millicas lands to the ground and turns to the right to see Tohka standing nearby. He turns to face her, suddenly caught off guard when she surprises him by standing right in front of him without even seeing her coming. He swings his sword forward, blocking some of the lightning attack she performs, but was sliding back and launches his attack with a swing of his sword. Tohka swings forward with her lightning to counter his destructive blast, which breaks the fight even and comes charging straight towards him with her sword in the sheath. As she gets closer, she looks to the right to find Agathos coming into this and swings down at Tohka, forcing her to block his swing and quickly evade Millicas' next projectile attack against the both of them.
The three backs away from one another and stands ready for another charge. When they are ready, the three charges in and begins engaging with one another once more. This match got seriously tense between the three, and with Beowulf standing on the edge of the dome and making sure he does not get involve in anyway in the fight between the three.
"It's impressive on how they are going." Issei responds
"I know." Rias nods "Millicas is preparing to show some new moves on the two."
"It can't be helped." Sirzechs intervenes "He had hope to use these against Vali, but pretty silly to continue with his destructive attacks with his sword. He almost lost two matches without them against Kurogane and Xenovia."
"But those attacks requires time." Grayfia looks to Sirzechs "He was facing incredible fighters that match his speed. His sword was the only thing that could give him a chance on stopping their incoming attacks."
As Millicas flies in the sky and away from the two that continues clashing together, Tohka continues pushing Agathos back and was unable to clash against her sword like this. But as they fight, Millicas vanishes his sword, lights his hands in this red flames and creates two dark red fireballs in his hands. He threw them down towards Tohka, which got her to stop her attack and notices these two large orbs come down towards her. As they come down towards her, these two orbs would land near her and not towards her, only landing through the ground and creates a massive blast of destruction. Tohka evades it quickly by jumping back, only to get Agathos to spring his trap on Tohka, by bringing up a magical symbol the moment she lands back and triggers another explosion that could consume her.
"Did we get her?" Millicas thought to himself and lands on the ground. The moment he hit the ground, he triggers the same symbol that Tohka fell into and quickly escapes the explosion on time, but collapses to the floor when he trips over.
"You better watch where you're going." Agathos replies and goes charging towards Millicas.
Agathos ignores Tohka for now and comes for a dive towards Millicas. He looks towards him, quickly defending himself when he aims his left hand towards him and sends a destructive blast at close range. Agathos blocks the incoming attack, but he manage to stop the attack, thanks to the power of his sword and continues his attack against him. Agathos was close of striking him, but when moving his sword over Millicas' sword and aims the tip of his sword aiming to his chest, Millicas quickly stops it with a destructive blast from his left hand to stop it. The blast did sent Agathos away, but Millicas took a bit of damage when firing that at close range in front of him.
"That was Explosion Magic you just used before." Millicas replies
"I had to learn something that my father left behind." Agathos replies "I know your trying not to get hit by this." He aims his sword Joyeuse towards him "Don't want to feel any pain from this."
"Oh yeah? Let's see if you dodge this." Millicas holds onto his sword and aims it above his head to send a blast of his destructive power through his sword and sends it beaming like a pillar that reaches to the top of the dome. He swings this mighty attack down at Agathos, who stood at the ready, but was not ready to face off this fierce and violent demeanour.
Agathos uses his quick speed to avoid this incoming attack, which was lucky though, cause this attack cuts right through the ground and causes a serious earthquake. Agathos stumbles around and tries to get his footing, only to get it when he looks away from Millicas and finds Tohka, appearing on his right with her sword ready to strike. She pulls her sword out of the sheath and sends a blast of lightning through his body, finally landing a decisive blow against his chest and prepares to end this. She swings upwards to send this crescent-shaped blast at close range to Agathos, but was to be block with his sword and counters with a strike against her chest. He finally lands a blow against her, giving her a serious cut on the chest and causes serious pain from that serious hit. Tohka jumps back away from him, sheathes her sword and breathes a little heavier.
Millicas comes charging in with his sword, firing his destructive blast towards Tohka, forcing her to move to avoid the incoming attack. She looks back to Millicas, surprises him by appearing right in front of him and swings her sword to unleash a blast of lightning at close range. Millicas manage to block it with his sword that was consume with his power, however, his sword start to get a few cracks, as it was unable to hold this pressure for much longer. Agathos came charging towards Millicas, forcing him to send a destructive shot at him, but he slices it in two with his sword and clashes against Millicas. Tohka moves back behind Agathos, while he clashes with Millicas a few times, then manage to get a blow through his skin, he kicks him back and swings back to block an incoming attack from Tohka, but took an electrical shock in the process.
Millicas stops and tries to endure the pain from the incoming side effect from taking those cuts from the Joyeuse. He also notices his sword was getting bad, so he vanishes his sword and creates a destructive, power orb in his right hand and fires it towards them. Tohka saw it coming, so she jumps back and Agathos looks back to try and cut it in half and cause it to explode behind him on the ground, which sends him moving forward by the shockwave.
"Now's my chance." Tohka thought to herself and comes charging in towards Agathos. He looks back to her, quickly trying to stop her, but she calls out "Raikiri!" And unleashes a bolt of lightning down through the dome and electrifies Agathos.
At long last, Agathos finally falls to both knees from that shot, but Millicas helps by firing his destructive blast to hit Agathos to the chest and sending him lying to the floor, but also does some damage to Tohka. She comes sliding out of the blast, looks back to Millicas who comes flying in from above her with his sword at the ready. Tohka takes flight and flies towards him, there she lands a blow to his chest and the two would land to the ground with Millicas delivering no fatal blow to Tohka.
Tohka looks back to Millicas "You're at your limit."
"Yeah…" Millicas looks down at his sword and it shatters to pieces. He turns towards Tohka and whatever is left of his sword vanishes. "But you're not the only one."
Tohka looks down at the damage and the wounds she took from the both of them "This is the strongest fight I've ever been in." She sheathes her sword, keeps her hand to the handle and the other to the sheath "But I'm going to finish this with one final attack."
"Alright then." Millicas stands tall and looks back to Tohka "Hit me with your best shot."
Tohka stands ready to attack with another Trackless Step, while Millicas stands where he was, ignoring the pain that still remains onto him and force to face her sword without any weapon to protect himself. But the moment of truth was coming and Tohka makes her move against Millicas. She suddenly appears right in front of him, ready to swing her sword to his chest, while he quickly attacks with a blast from both his hands firing a destructive blast that consumes the both of them. The blast of his destructive power and lightning combine, covered the area for a short time until someone was left standing tall. Both of them was left on the ground, with Tohka unconscious and Millicas struggling to get up off the ground. Beowulf approaches the two, noticing Tohka was out cold and watches Millicas, slowly rising up with serious, electrical and destructive damage done to his body.
"This kid has reached his limit…" Beowulf thought to himself "However…" He watches Millicas try to stand, but his legs can no longer help him right now and just falls back to the ground with his hands pressing onto the floor to stop him from collapsing. Beowulf finally approaches him and crouches down next to him. "Congratulations, Millicas Gremory. You're the last person standing."
". . . . . ."
At long last, Millicas stands triumph and the crowd got off their feet to cheer for the victor of the Demon Sword Tournament. Millicas remains where he was, his arms start to struggle on holding him where he was, but Beowulf finally intervenes, grabs one of his arms to help him stand up. He holds onto Millicas, since his legs cannot help him and holds onto him, while a medical team goes in to help Tohka.
"Millicas!" Stella calls out his name when she comes rushing into the arena to reunite with him. He laughs and tries getting up off the ground, but as he gets up, Stella grabs him and wraps her arms around him. He groans from the pain of her tight grip, forced her to let go of him and take a few steps back.
"You did it!" Stella replies "You won the tournament!"
"You weren't worried were you?"
Stella moves back but keeps her arms around him "I wasn't worried. I knew you would win this."
"Shame we couldn't have our match." Millicas said "But our promise will always be there, right?"
"Of course. I am your servant… And I love you so much that I am glad you are my master." Stella presses her body against him again and holds onto him.
"Congratulations, Millicas Gremory." Azazel comes into the arena and applauds to him. Stella moves off of him and looks back towards Azazel. "You've proven to be quite the hard guy to lose. I can't wait to see you fight Vali."
"Tell him I'll be seeing him soon."
"I know. I bet he's around here and saw the whole thing."
"Good job, Millicas." Sirzechs comes into the arena with Grayfia, Rias and Issei by his side. "You used some good moves out there."
"Thanks dad." Millicas looks back to Grayfia "What do you think?"
"You were pretty reckless out there." Grayfia replies and smiles "But you made me proud."
"Thanks. But there's one thing that needs to be done right now." Millicas replies and looks back to Stella "And this can't wait."
"Huh?"
"You sure?" Sirzechs asks "You can't even stand properly."
"I know what you're thinking." Rias replies and comes closer to help hold onto Millicas, while Beowulf lets go of him and walks away.
Maria comes into the scene from behind Millicas and places something in his hand for nobody to see. Millicas comes closer to Stella and holds onto this large, red queen piece in his hands. "I want you to be my queen…." Then opens up the top of it and shows a flawless ring inside of it "And my bride."
Stella pauses and looks shock when realising what he just said. She stutters at first when asking "A-A-Are you sure? You want to spend your life with… Me?"
"Yes. Will you marry me?"
Stella begins to show tears going down her face and smiles "Yes. I'd be happy to marry you!"
Millicas places the ring on her finger and kisses her in front of everyone to see. The others would smile and applaud to this new surprise.
"Wait, but what should I call you now? Master? Darling? My beloved?"
"Call me whatever you like best, Stella."
"This truly is all I need in this world. We'll be together forever! I promise to make you happier than anyone's ever been, my darling."
"Can't wait to see the wedding." Issei replies
"Unfortunately, the wedding will be made in the mere future." Grayfia replies "As soon as you are done graduating the academy and focusing on your life ahead of you with Stella."
"Mother…"
Issei laughs and moves both hands to the back of his head "Ha, you got a lot to go before marrying the love of your life."
"Hey, at least I proposed to my woman at the end. You took a long time for you to even bring up the question to marry Rias!" Millicas responds
"H-Hey!"
Rias laughs "That's true."
"Oh come on."
Sirzechs looks back to Grayfia and speaks quietly to her, while they watch the young ones make fun of each other. "Millicas has accomplished more than we anticipated."
"I know. But Stella would have to prepare herself to face with the rest of his harem."
Azazel finally steps in and stands in front of Millicas with the trophy in his hands. "Millicas Gremory, winner of the Demon Sword Tournament. I present you the trophy for your heroic deeds in the arena, as well as the title 'Demon Sword'. You will also be put among the champions who have won this tournament, so you will forever be etched on the records as one of the winners, and the youngest to ever win the tournament. Congratulations."
Millicas smiles and takes the trophy with both hands off of Azazel "Thank you…" He looks back out to the crowd, who await for him to raise the cup in the air. He walks away from the others in the arena, raises the cup as high as he can for everyone to see and got the whole arena applauding and cheering his name repeatedly.
THE END….?
Millicas arrives on the slopes on Dragon Mountain, where his opponent, Vali Lucifer, awaits for him here. He arrives on the scene, looking out at the dragons that comes flying out of their caves and flies in the other direction, as if they expect something dangerous is about to happen here. As soon as the dragons are nowhere to be seen, Millicas walks on forward, but stops after taking a few steps and looks up to find Vali, standing on the peak in his normal look. He looks out at the view for a while, but looks away and turns his attention back at Millicas, who stares back at him.
"I've been waiting for you." Millicas replies
"Took you long enough." Vali replies and turns his body to look back at Millicas "Are you ready?"
Millicas smiles and brings his destructive aura around his body "Let's do this."
(I'm sorry that this took so long, the match was difficult to write and I got off track with other stories. I hope I did an alright job on the ending, sadly I can't make it any better than it is now. For those who like Highschool Prince, well there will be a sequel to be done in the future, which will be Highschool King. I hope you enjoyed this story, despite not having any lemon or a big harem-king sort of thing.)
