"Now. Let's practice slow motioned attacks. As you do I want you to chant the spell we created. Focus on channeling the power into Bãkaihsen's Crystal blade." Ethan instructs.
"Okay." Megumin says.
She takes a stance and began to slowly swing her weapon in a fluid motion.
"Dark. Darker yet darker. May this crimson witch control thee and The destructive power of Explosion."
The Crystal blade began to glow. The orb was set alight and Megumin's Eyepatch had a Orange flame on the front.
"And with this I Beseech thee to empower my unworthy body and soul with this power so in hopes I may bless those with this power." She chants.
Bãkaihsen was Darling before stopping to become empowered by The chant. Runic circles Were written around the staff and circled around it.
"And so I cast thee. Implosion!"
Megumin was instantly hit with an Intake of magic energy. Empowering her body and soul. Ethan watched as the crystal blade morphed into a proper battle axe head. He nodded when He used an Enchant to observe where the magic is Heading to Megumin.
He saw orbs of light collect in Megumin's throat. Her hands, her feet, Her elbows and knees, and Most of all into Bãkaihsen's blade.
"Good. Let us begin." He says throwing a Deck of cards into the air. This specific deck was Raven themed.
The deck glowed and Blew up to spread out the cards. Each card glowed and In a Puff of smoke ravens began to fly out the clouds.
"Ravendeck 52 fold. Hold them off for a Minute." Ethan instructs. "Got it." Megumin shouts. She began twirling her Axe and Pointed the tip at the flock of ravens above her.
Ethan Pulled out a card and Pointed it at himself. "Ravensong. Attack." Ethan instructs.
The flock of Ravens divebomb straight at Megumin. She smirks as Pure explosive power pushes her arms and legs to cut down the ravens. Making burnt and cut cards fall to the ground with each kill.
Shockwaves emanating from her limbs to propel her strikes with sheer forcefulness. She Stops panting and Smiling as the deck of Cards all turned to ash. Ethan caught his empty Ravendeck to refill it later.
"Seems you're itching for a Real fight. Well then." He pulls out Kamekōra and Kuroiryū.
He twirls his Sword around and points it to her. "Shall we?" he asks.
"EXPLODING EARTHQUAKE!"
"BACKLASH WAVE!" Ethan yells as he Slams His shield into the ground. Glowing from the cracks a big explosion was negated by green winds.
He Jumped away to dodge Megumin's swing. "IMPLODING SLASH!" She casts. The Air that her blade cut through glowed and Ethan felt his body get sucked in.
"BLACK DRAGON STRIKE!" Ethan casts. A black eastern dragon covers his sword and roars as he Cuts the Spell in half. Sending cracks and shattering the ground below. Ethan shield bashed Megumin to gain some distance. He tosses it up and caught the edge.
"DRAGON TWISTER!" He yells as he tosses Kamekōra. A Giant Burning twister forms around it and heads straight for Megumin.
She Holds her axe out to block and Absorb the damage.
Ethan meanwhile doesn't relent as He turns his sword into the scythe now.
"Draynoo the Rotful Grimm Dragon. I summon thee to help me win this battle. May your dark rotting claw give me strength!" Ethan chants as he twirls his scythe in almost like a dance. Following the black furred end was a Black apparition shaped like a Rotting undead dragon.
Ethan Suddenly shot forward to slash at Megumin.
"IMPLODING EXPLOSION!" Megumin casts. A Sphere in front of her sucks the winds in and the surrounding terrain. The Sheild flew away to the side. And The sqhere dropped to the ground. Ethan felt something bad and Switched his blade for a Bat that he used to swing and Bat the explosive sphere away to the castle in the distance.
The spell was Released and the castle was completely blown to smithereens. Ethan Had hold his ground and Resummon Kamekōra to shield Megumin from debris.
When it was done They looked on to see the entire cliff side was gone. What fell in between them was a Giant blade and a Helmet that twirled around on the handle.
"Woah." Megumin wows.
"Yeah. Woah." Ethan says. He picks himself up to observe the helmet. "Holy shit. This is one of the demon King's generals." Ethan says. "WHAT!?" Megumin asks.
"We just killed a Demon king general. Awesome!" Ethan cheers.
Megumin pulled her hat brim over her face in embarrassment as she walked besides Ethan who held the giant sword over his shoulder. The Helmet was Under his other arm and They were garnering looks from the townsfolk.
"I can't believe they are letting you keep those things. I don't like this attention." Megumin whines.
"Oh shush. Beside I'm gonna have the helmet and swored stored away to a Good place. He is an Undead and so I figure his soul should be put to rest at the very least." Ethan says.
"Oh my gosh! Ethan what is this?!" Wiz asks. He turns to see her shocked and a little scared by him holding the helmet and giant sword.
"Me and Megumin accidently killed this demon king general during a Spar." Ethan answers
Wiz was shaking in her boots now. And the townsfolk were sharing the same thought. 'What the fuck do they do during a real fight then?!'
"Oh Wiz, After I put these away to a safe place can I speak with you later?" Ethan asks. "U-u-uhm Y-yes!" She stutters.
Ethan finished Setting the helmet in a Lock box he stored in his closet. He has harvested the metal from the sword and made them into ingots he can use for later. And has shrunken the sword handle into a Manageable size with some left over metal to make a Broadsword. He Hung that in his closet and Stored the ingots into his sack for later.
He Exited his room and Used a Card to teleport to Wiz's shop.
"Oh! Ethan. I wasn't expecting you so early." Wiz says. "Its no big deal." Ethan waves off. "So what did you wanna talk about?" She asks.
"I wanted to ask if I can Reincarnate you?" Ethan asks. "Huh?" She asks. "I know your a General of the Demon king. But I managed to get the reincarnating skill and Place it in a rechargeable Card. Only yesterday did it finish charging and I got all my energy back.
"R-really!? You mean it?" Wiz asks. "Yep." Ethan smirks as he pulls a Card out. It had a Diagonal one in the middle with a Withered rose on the bottom and a Blooming rose on the top.
"Then let's do it!" Wiz says.
Ethan smirks and throws it at her. The Card glows and Enters her body. Her body is covered by a Glyph that Also manages to unlock her Aura. The glow subsides and She takes the first breath of air in years.
Ethan smiles when the card flies back into his hand. The entire card was black now. And slowly gaining a white sketch outline of the details on it.
He Puts it away while Wiz Feels her body for any defects or because she can feel again.
"Now, I'll be going now. I've got some things I plan to sell you soon anyways. and With that I shall now be-" Ethan was suddenly stopped when Wiz straight up kissed him on the lips.
She then realizes what she did and backs away. "I-I-I-I-IM S-SO SORRY! I-I-I DIDN'T M-MEAN TO!" She apologizes.
"Its okay. Just you gotta warn me next time. and if your interested you gotta talk with my wife Izumi." Ethan mediates. 'Now how the hell am I gonna tell my wife this without getting either me or her killed?' He thought.
Ethan eventually exits with a Light blush on his face. "Well that was a thing." Ethan thought out loud.
"YOU!" A voice yells out.
"Eh?" Ethan asks before turning to meet the person. "So you're the person who's been working the Goddess Aqua to the bone!" The blonde haired man yells. 'OK wow. one sentence in and I wanna stab him.' Ethan thought.
"Uhm. Yeah? Why are you mad then?" Ethan asks. "You will pay dearly for this. A Goddess should be treated with the utmost respect dammit!" Kyoya yells.
Ethan Sighs. "Nah. I got places to be, a Wife to fuck and a Daughter to love. Goodbye." Ethan says. Causing a Few guys around him to burst into chuckles.
Kyoya Blushed but Drew his sword regardless. "No! You have disgraced Lady Aqua. so you shall pay. HYAAAAAH!" Kyoya yells as he charges.
Ethan sighs and drops a Fe k of cards from his sleeve. He Flicks a Switch and a Long blade made of cards forms that he uses to block Kyoya's Strike.
"Wh-what!?" He asks. "How annoying." Ethan asks as he draws another card. "Decay." He commands. He Slaps the card on the flat of Kyoya's Sword. It sparks and Blows up. But the effects are instant. The Blade shatters to pieces.
"I-i-impossible! My Magic sword Gram was forged by the gods and Given to me by the gods!" He yells in shock.
Ethan Began lifting the shards up and Reforming them into a Saber. "That's the thing about forged items. They still have atomic bonds within them. Destroy those bonds, You get valid working materials." Ethan says. He Twirls his new sword and Point it at Kyoya. "Now. Kneel." He commands.
Kyoya does so. Ethan Takes his ruined handle and Reforges the sword into broadsword. "Here. I fixed your accursed sword. Take it you simp." Ethan says as he stabs it in the ground. The sword gram was fixed. Good as new.
"I've hidden a Decay card in it though. Any attempts on my life or sullying my family members or me will result in the entire thing being turned to dust. So enjoy the sword while you can." Ethan adds.
"K-kay." He whimpers.
'Great. Now I'm pissed, Confused, And horny.' Ethan thought.
And scene. Fuck. canon.
