"Kazu!" Konami said, running up to the figure.
"The Batosai is no longer of this world." A cold voice said, sending chills up Konami's spine and stopping her in her tracks.
"Who are you?" Seldzar asked.
"I need not tell my name to those who are about to die!" He yelled as a vortex opened behind him, allowing thousands of demons to come into the world.
"I'm not holding back this time," Hogosha said. "Fenrir, come to me!"
However, nothing seemed to happen, except a depletion of Hogosha's energy.
The dark figure laughed, and struck the helpless Tarutaru. "Summoning Magic isn't possible within the shrouded realm, fool!"
Seldzar charged the figure, but was repelled backwards by a servant demon.
"Weaklings. That's what you all are... your memories and emotions have made all of you weak, and we shall feast upon that weakness!" The dark figure said, laughing as the demon army began to strike down the innocent San d'Orians.
"In the name of the Dynamis Lord," the dark figure said. "I, Kousaten, claim San d'Oria as Dynamis Territory!"
Everyone struck Kousaten with all of their might, but every attempt he repelled back at them.
'Nothing seems to work...' Kirith thought to herself. 'if Kazu was here, he could hold Kousaten off while we took care of the demons... ugh... that last attack hurt more than I thought. What is he made of?'
"Batosai was foolish to choose you as his allies..." Kousaten said. "if he was thinking clearly, he would have pledged his alliegence to the Dynamis Lord, to obtain power beyond his reasoning!"
"Don't you talk about me like I'm dead," I said, pushing aside the rubble with my bruised body. "this isn't over yet, as long as I have breath to spare, I will not stop fighting!"
"K-kazu..." Konami said before fainting. She seemed to have been hit hard by that last attack.
"Konami, hang on!" I shouted while running towards her, but was stopped by Kousaten.
"You should worry more about yourself and less about the fate of another, Batosai." He said with a grin. "Well, I guess it doesn't matter. You will all die here anyway!"
"Shut your mouth!" I yelled, thrusting my lance into Kousaten's chest.
Kousaten's eyes opened wide in shock and horror. "H... how did he move so fast?" He asked. "How did he manage to hit me?" He spat out blood from his mouth as I motioned to everyone else to save the remaining citizens.
"Kousaten." I said. "With your heart full of vengence, you couldn't possibly obtain enough strength to defeat any of us. We fight for the light of hope, and hope can never die... that is why you will never defeat us."
"K...Kazu." Kousaten muttered. "The Dynamis Lord... he plans... to strike... the heart of Gustaberg next..." With that, Kousaten finally died.
"...May your soul rest in peace, my brother." I said, going to help the others with dispatching the demons that remained. However, a small light shined from Kousaten's body, which spread throughout San d'Oria, killing the demons that were still alive.
'Kousaten always dreamed to be a hero one day when we were kids...' I thought to myself as Hogosha and Kalnor counted the bodies. 'It seems as if... he finally had his dream come true.'
