Naofumi just got angry at that moment. He uses the cursed shield a bit, his eyes turning red.
He easily breaks out, controlling the flames as best he can, destroying the core directly, releasing the others.
Kyo stares in shock, "You…you're using a cursed shield?!"
Naofumi growls at him, unleashing a dragon's roar. The flames attack Kyo, causing severe burns that deal damage over time.
L'Arc breaks out too before saying, "Uh…Kiddo?"
Naofumi glares, "What?"
L'Arc smiles sheepishly, "Kyo's kind of the one who gave me the idea to kill you so~~"
Naofumi growls, "He'll be a dead man soon…"
Kyo yells in a general villain fashion, "No matter…you can't stop me!"
Naofumi rages and rants, "You want to destroy this world? Ha! I agree that this world isn't worth saving. That it should be destroyed…but if anyone's going to destroy it, it's going to be me. Got it?!"
L'Arc stares in shock now too, "Kiddo…" as the flames had no effect on him.
Kyo stutters, "Y-yeah…"
Naofumi smiles, "Now, die."
Naofumi burns him alive, to ashes, leaving only the Book behind. He pants as he's exhausted, then turns to L'Arc.
L'Arc asks, "Why are these flames warm to me?"
Naofumi smiles sadly, "Because I don't hate you..".
L'Arc looks at him, surprised, his eyes wide.
"L'Arc, if I actually destroy this world, I want you to kill me. You can do that, can't you?"
He nods, "Of course."
"Thanks…" Naofumi kissed L'Arc on the cheek before fainting, the shield defaulting to a small shield.
L'Arc catches him before he falls, holding him in his arms while slightly flushed.
He hears Naofumi's soft breathing. Kiddo fell asleep.
