The battle between two vampires reaches the climax, even knowing that the magic weapon Dragon Knight Lucifer DKL-01 was not the real target.
Zorin vs Izuku...
Finally, the priced weapon was under their reach, and by Izuku, Endeavor and all Wild Geese members perspective, they shall first face the demon vampire Zorin Blitz, and the crazy scientist who crafted the Dragon Knight Lucifer Armor DKL-01.
"Very well… Dark Schneider!...", Zorin swears with great rage, "Ich werde meine wahren Kräfte zeigen!", as she begins to release an intense black aura that start to sparkle and ignites fires along some flammable trash scattered inside the former workshop.
"It's not good!...", said Gara while hold his sword in order to prepare any enemy strike.
"Uraltes Schwert aus vergessenen Legenden… Brechen meine Trauer Siegel lauern auf meine Seele!", screams Zorin while channel her magic energy release to her own scythes, making them grow and become more sharper and poisonous, "Ich schwöre meine Ehre auf mein Schwert und zerschmettere den Feind!", which in turn, it world their attacks more dangerously lethal, "THYRFING!"
Once Zorin cast her new Thyrfing magic spell, she simply managed to break a cast Izuku's Witcher Sign Quen at Level 4 (Quen Discharge), and cause an huge wound on Izuku's body.
It could be terrible dangerous if Izuku don't dress that heavy blinded magic armor, since no standard costume won't protected him from major damage delivered by a magic enhanced scythe.
"IZUKU!", screams Pip, while Terzieff-Godefroy runs at full speed to grab the shocked Izuku. The older healer vampire manage to reach the younger one, but receive the strong lightning gust from Zorin's scythe, blasting both vampires back against the nearest wall.
"Shun Mi-Kou!", meaning Instant Effect, scream Silver Fang while makes a dodged step against Zorin, and uses that decoy to make a swift feint dealing piercing damage on Zorin's body.
"SHIN MAJIN-KEN!", shout Gara when delivers his sword against the cursed enchanted scythe, as he preventing Zorin to cut the Silver Fang or Terzieff-Godefroy in two.
The double surprise attack enables Izuku to recover, "Th… thanks!"
Zorin makes a malicious grin, before release more dark magic energy, and makes another cast, "Buße, tödliche Verlierer! ...", while cross her arms, and elongate her scythes in a form position that resemble the Devil on some throne, "SATANIC SLAUGHTER!", before that wicked spell release several phantom black scythes on a chaotic motion, along the real scythe itself, and both capable to cut everything of their path.
"Pathetic!", screams Endeavor, "I will never forgive you!", while tries to activate his Hell Flames quirk, and runs like a madman against a clueless Zorin, "That's the pay off!...".
Pip Bernadotte assemble Izuku and Terzieff-Godefroy to try heal Izuku first, but quickly notice the Endeavor rampage, "OK!… Heal quickly as fast as possible… But… Why Endeavor are trying to do ?!...", just to scream, "Idiot! You don't have any chance against a mage like Zorin! Your so-called Hellish quirk are no match against her!"
Zorin ever relaxes a little and wait a second for Endeavor tries to give against her a punch coated with fire. Endeavor grins once manage to deliver another stream of flames against the vampire, in order to burn her, "Who's the real strongest here ?!".
The whole spectacle endures about three seconds, just before Zorin blasts all flames with her own aura, and delivers a mad wicked smile, " Tölpelhaftschweine werden immer Tölpelhaftschweine sein!"
"Impossible!", Endeavor was stunned, and don't respond to the background screams from Pip and Izuku, "Your great… STUPID IDIOT!"
"I will show you the real flames from Hell!...", before Zorin raises her scythe and conjure a Dark Magic with Fire Magic spell, "Da Sie einen Possenreißer, die denkt, dass der König der Flammen sind, werde ich die echten Flammen aus der Hölle zeigen, drittklassigen gefälschten Zauberer!".
Endeavor barely had time to recover from shock, one Zorin starts her spell incantation, "Altes magisches Schwert von Odin geschmiedet werden! Herr des Gottes und der menschlichen Welten, die Ehrgeiz und Korruption zusammenstoßen!", making the scythe covered by black flames, "Lass deine zornigen Flammen los und vernichte meinen Erzfeind!", and delivers almost a fatal blow on Endeavor, "FALKENBACH!"
The combined Falkenbach and Thyrfing magic spells makes the maneuverability and lethality virtually impossible for an human to handle, quirkless or not. Endeavor would been killed if Izuku not shoot quickly an Elemental Arrows, more precisely, an heavy magic javelin:
"Ego antiquum pactum datë…", where managed to send a magic ice javelin capable to block the insane scythe gale and movement against Endeavor, "Gather and Reunite the Spirits of Nature!… Target Lock on Enemy!… Gather 1 Ice Element Arrow!", and the sudden movement block of Zorin's scythe gives an opportunity to Gara could grab the Pro Hero and return to the barricades, "Elemental Magic Javelin... Shoot!"
"That's close!", mumbles Gara, when managed to make such feat.
Zorin laughs, "You are no more than a bunch of pathetic losers!", and decides to use another kind of magic, for much Izuku dismay.
Demon Necromancy, or the revival of Sonic and Metal Knight!
"Rachsüchtige gefallene Seelen… Erwache von der ewigen Verdammnis und kämpfe unter der Flagge des Wahnsinns!", the new Zorin's spell opens several portals from the ground, releasing black liquid and cursed demons, "Absteigen hier und beten unter dem Herrn des Todes!", forming several demons that resemble cursed skulls, but mainly under control of two dark abominations that snaps Izuku's memories, "NECROMANCE!"
"What ?!", Izuku screams, "Metal Knight and Sound's Speed Sonic ?!"
"Schade, Dark Schneider! Ich benutze einfach alchemistische Magie, um ihre Seelen aus der Hölle zurückzubringen und auf meine Dämonen zu legen!", and Zorin laughs hard, like a demonic clown.
"Unbelievable!", even Terzieff-Godefroy was shocked, "You are also a necromancer ?!"
The resurrected Metal Knight and Sonic appears to be more like demons with bright red eyes, and sharp teeth, fuming malign miasma, and covered by an oppressive and revengeful aura.
"Revenge… REVENGE!", screams Metal Knight with their mind twisted by Zorin's magic after effects.
Sound's Speed Sonic was not better, and appears to be more wicked before he was defeated by Izuku during the Yuuei's Sport Festival. "Die… DIE!… Everyone will be died...".
Izuku himself was disgusted, "You… you are beyond terrible, Zorin!..."
"Don't be so hypocritical!", said Zorin, grinning, "You also can summon demons using your magic… And use it to inflict excruciating pain... My necromancy are a sign that I mastered the Dark Arts beyond your own little pride… Dark Schneider!"
Izuku don't reply, and just increase all magic barriers in order to survive the next wave attack.
The former villains physical capabilities was enhanced by a factor of hundreds, while their original magic powers was replaced by some spells delivered by Zorin himself.
"And before resume our fight...", Zorin mind enters into a meditation state, releasing a dark purplish alchemist circle, where an hexagram was placed inside, and Zorin itself was placed on the middle of the internal hexagon that separate the middle hexagram and exterior circle.
"A Magic Demonic Hexagram!", screams Izuku, remember the few classes with Sakura-sensei within the Yuuei, when she begin to lecture alchemical magic.
"Meine törichten Diener unter meiner Herrschaft!.. Ich verfluche dein Blut, Fleisch, Knochen und Eisen!… Sei ewig erfreut und verfluche meinen Feind!", as Zorin use her new hexagram to transfer his malign vitality flow to her demons, specially the Metal Knight and Sound's Speed Sonic ones, "DOOMSWORD!"
Suddenly the demonic morphed Sonic screams, and bursts into dark flames, where their former ninja weapons begins to morph into an horrible bloody shape and form, while the alchemical ritual place cursing runes, that bleed and glow with a purple and reddish haze.
Metal Knight also suffer the same fate, but his former missiles portable launchpad becomes a chaotic array of dark blades and spikes, like an horrific mixture of a satanic hedgehog with a dark soldier that resemble some dark fantasy medieval game character.
The two spearheads demons swiftly deliver a devastating blow against the vampires and Endeavor who still hold guarded by an improvised barrier made with crates and metal empty containers, and reinforced by five cast magic barriers by Izuku and Pip Bernadotte, who finally decide to use his magic powers on that dire situation.
The first physical strike shakes violently the barriers, making the entrapped soldiers shaking due to impact. But the aftermath won't be calm, since Sonic decide to use his ninja techniques, like the ones who use against during his raid on Yuuei. And the main difference, is that his original weapons has replaced by dark energy morphs, where poisonous alchemical made weapons are crafter using the Dark Magic delivered by Zorin.
"Fukushuu Satsuriku ran-jin!", yells Sonic while name his twisted ninja technique, here now means Revengeful Hail of Carnage, delivers supersonic shurikens capable to kill instantaneously.
The first wave literally blow away the barrier and breaks all magic barriers, resting the duck movement to avoid several damage.
Immediately, Metal Knight blasts the former improvised shelter, or what left of it, with a swarm of dark bolts that replace the original missiles, "Dark Terror Missile Annihilation Swarm!… Launch!..."
Once the magic crafted missiles hit randomly their targets, it almost wipe out any possible positions to the wandering Wild Geese group could create a temporary shelter, since their military strategies use the same logic or a guerrilla warfare mixed with trenches.
"Hwawawahahahaha!", Zorin laughs demoniacally, "It's the best you can satisfy me ?! Dark Schneider ?!"
The debris and smoke delivers a temporary shield against their enemies, but it's only a temporary relief, since there's no more viable shelter on aftermath.
This terrible situation makes Izuku snaps dangerously, "If you want to be...", where remembers the carnage delivered on USJ when releases his huge sword, and once made a terrible carnage. When Izuku remove the same sword that was a homage to his third ancient ancestor, Izuku becomes a little curious and astonished where it start to resonate with the DKL-01 armor some meters above, even it was guarded by several demon minions.
Izuku mind snaps, and resonantes with his berserker ancestor soul, The Black Knight Guts, and uses is brief moment to prepare an alchemical ritual for first time on battle, since it won't had much alternatives.
Izuku enters into a state of deep meditation, while hope that his colleges could defence or handle the situation for several seconds, in order to Izuku releases several vitalities flows related to several Elementals. In a matter of seconds, a magic circle forms, and another ones too, making an intricate sequence of concentric circles, and magic runes along the gaps.
"Arcanum antiquis magicae circulus, ex paterna tabellarius elementa, custos rei secundae incommensurabilis occulta ..." , and then Izuku raise straight his sword, and coat it with their blood, that managed to magically flow from his recent wound, "Domini de elementis!", linking the transmutation medium, which is the sword, with the magic circle ritual, "Nigrum antiquis gladium Rex Nescimus!... Mittent sanguis anima mea signa pactum!", forming a transmutation bound between the old Guts spirit and his sword replica, "Et super gloriam tuam voluntatem atque delerent omnes dæmoniorum!"
Once Izuku finishes his alchemical magic ritual, he makes a sudden strike forward and slash several minor demons without much resistance, while himself yells, "Ancient Vampire Ancestor, I pledge the ancient pact forged by own bloodline!... Behold the true Sword of Hell, carrying the Berserker wills!... Display their unlimited wrath under your enemies, under my Ancient War Cry from Gods, that Show no Mercy!... KAMPFAR!"
"A magic enchantment on a sword!", Pip displays some random bewilderment, since it occurs always at crucial moments, "Probably, Izuku can now handle the cursed scythe from the enemy!"
Alchemical rituals crafter by magicians are normally the same procedure used to create enchantments on objects, in order to give him or unlock obscure magic powers. In reality are the natural evolution of basic enchantment, and make a natural evolution from this art to another, but Izuku will never progress his alchemy knowledge to match advanced alchemy made by an real and skillful alchemist.
The related alchemical magic spell, Kampfar, also derived from a Viking Heavy Metal band, had some inspiration on Tolkien books, the same occurs with the band itself.
Also, like on the original vampire character from Tolkien works, Thuringwethil, the spell use the native vampiric nature of Izuku in order to channel his own vitally lines on the enchanted sword and synchronize with their ancestor soul.
Zorin appears to not taken by surprise, since she expected such kind of magic, as herself also display some knowledge. But the real astonished person was the infamous Doktor who screams when notices the strong bond forming with the DKL-01 armor prototype and alchemical enhanced sword.
The Armour awakens !...
"Bas… Bastard!", the mad scientist reacts boldly, "How… you manage to craft a Sword of Hell almost without references ?!"
All vampires sighed, while Silver Fang mumbles, "It appears that all esoteric stuff that Izuku's magic teacher grant to him had some use!"
Izuku quickly deliver a strong slash against the chains that hold the DKL-01 armor on the pedestal, while cut six minor demons in half, spilling dark blood that spontaneously combust, with a little help of Witcher Sign Igni that Izuku casts almost instinctively.
Zorin makes a staged grin, while delivers a murderous face against the scientist, "Zumindest habe ich einen wahren Feind … Wie auch immer, Doktor ... Wenn Dark Schneider sein Schwert benutzt, um die magische Rüstung zu aktivieren ...", and shouts her menacing ultimatum, "Ich werde dich töten und dein Schweineschwein-Lächeln direkt auf die tiefste Grube der Hölle ziehen!"
"Ja, mein Gebieter!", spoke the scientist without concessions.
However Zorin already knew that the prototype will be grabbed by his arch-rival.
When Izuku thought that the magical weapon could be stolen from the site, Sound's Speed Sonic delivers a uppercut kick enhanced with magic miasma, "Yami no Fujinkyaku", or Wind Blade Kick of Darkness, that managed to throw Izuku away several meters.
Endeavor couldn't make any real movement, except mesmerizing the beyond-sanity display of supernatural powers. Meanwhile, all vampire from Wild Geese barely managed to divert the second wave of missiles impact delivered by the demoniacally resurrected Metal Knight.
Suddenly, Zorin casts more minion demons and order them to charge against the vampires, as she makes an insane laugh, "Meine treuen Diener!… Töten alle Narren, und verschütten ihr entehrt Blut!..."
Izuku notices the sudden attack, and without real options, decide to cast a standard Dark Schneider's magic spell, "Inhabitants from snowy and icy forests! I request your forgotten pact!", that cast several ferocious ice wolves that immediately attack the Zorin's demons, like a coordinate pack of wolves, "Fearful Beasts from Frozen Realms!… Face my Enemy, and bring them down, that shall show no mercy!", before all Wild Geese members could be dangerously wounded, or even killed, "WAY-ANH!"
"Since when Izuku is a Summoner ?!", Pip scream with their annoying remarks, but Silver Fang use his elbows against him to pay attention, "It's mainly a decoy… Look!"
But Izuku could use that fatal second distraction from the enemy, to fit the enchanted sword straight on the magic armor, breaking the magic seal.
"Interesting...", spoke Izuku when reads the vampiric runes, "This is also an object crafted with alchemy..."
The scientist and Zorin drop their jaws down, but the demon vampire quickly becomes beyond furious, "Tölpelhaftschweine wird immer… Ein absoluter Verräter!", and she simply cut the scientist with several pieces, in less time than a blink of eye.
"Unbelievable!", some vampire spoke when the eccentric scientist was mercifulness killed.
A fraction of second later, Zorin, Sonic and Metal Knight run straight against Izuku, who still trying to read the spell written on the runes.
"Legions of Ruby Ray… Flesh rotten, consumed by Death!...", Izuku decide cast this magic spell quickly as possible, aided by his alchemical sword that forms the magic domains more quickly than the normal, "May this deathly Curse burns the Enemy, and return to Water!", and then Izuku cast the deadly acidic miasma delivered from Hell, "ACID DRINKER!"
Zorin somehow managed to survive a direct hit of the acidic spell that self-combusts once been hit, more due to her active magic barriers. Sonic and Metal Knight suffer several damage, but with such damage they managed to divert to opposite directions.
Pip Bernadotte decide to advance from the fifth improvised shelter, as like the other ones already destroyed, both ended quickly when the demons or Zorin herself decide to deliver a direct hit.
With this insane hit-and-run sequence, both vampires magic and stamina are dangerously low, due to the sheer offensive from a single sorcerer.
Finally Izuku could deliverer a defiance smile, as he proclaimed, "I just decipher this thing…"
Zorin state of mind dwindles when hear the enemy proclamation, "Was? Wie hast du es geschafft, das magische Schloss zu entschlüsseln?"
A fraction of a second later, the Dragon Knight Lucifer Armor DKL-01 activates, releasing all locks that was intended to avoid to be used by foreign sorcerers. Finally, all armor pieces are split apart, but each piece still maintains connected by some strange magic field.
The next sequence resembles some old mecha anime, when each part combine to form the main weapon, and on this peculiar case, all pieces join in order to adapt Izuku's body.
Once assembled, the entire armor glows, and Izuku sudden feels that his magic powers are increasing at a fast rate.
Titanic Showdown
Pip Bernadotte also makes some silly remark, like the other ones, "The last thing I ever expected to happen, is to Izuku becomes like Saint Seiya !", when remembers that anime series he watched on television when he once lived on Brazil.
"If you think that you are powerful enough...", Zorin order to all remaining demons to regroup and synchronize, before delivers a menacing threat, "I never expected to end like this… Ich werde das wahre Gesicht der absoluten Verzweiflung zeigen!", when her own aura explodes and almost self combust under this extreme conditions. It only takes some seconds to the room temperature reaches thousand degrees. Luckily, Terzieff-Godefroy managed to cast a protection barrier to avoid been roasted alive, "However, I can only endure 20 to 30 seconds at maximum!"
Izuku almost panics, since he don't knew if that weapon will work at all, "It's now or death! Even Pip is a pure idiotic bastard, I will never forgive to myself if ends dead… Either way, the only option is to use this Lucifer Armor, and hope that can match this insane release of magic energy from Zorin… Since, I fear that the last Zorin's magic will be comparable or even dwarfs several of my own destructive magic spells!...", as remembers the firestorms delivered by his own Exodus spell.
"Forsberg!… Quorthon!… Hammerheart!...", screams Zorin when levitates to the top ceiling of this underground workshop quickly reducing into a sea of flames, "Aus den tiefsten Ebenen der Verzweiflung, Trauer und Reue!", where Sonic and Metal Knight align with Zorin and coordinate their magic powers, "Unanfechtbaren Richter des Todes und der Trauer!", forming a crescent blob of dark energy that also self-combusts with an insane temperature that rose above one million Kelvin, "Unter deinem Opferaltar fordere ich, meine Feinde zu töten!", and fired without more delays, "BATHORY!"
"What an insane power!", Silver Fang eyes widen with the energetic release, that also shakes the entire ground."
Endeavor was speechless, hopping that such freak show was no more than a nightmare, and such magic powers don't ever exist at all. The Pro Hero just tried over and over again to pinch to himself, but without avail.
Izuku reacts and decide to strike, "Ancient Parthenon of Wrathful Gods! I pledge my forgotten pact from ancient ages...", while Izuku fells the spirits of the original Dark Schneider, Guts and Geralt joining and helping Izuku to cast the counter-spell, "With my allies, and my wisdom!… I release the Wrath of God!...", activating the main weapon of DKL-01, the Satan's Ring, "May all aberrations be banned, and sent to Oblivion!" , activating a powerful magic spell, "GIRAN IRA!"
Once Bathory and Giran Ira spells release collide, the energetic pulse vaporize all demons, including the cursed Metal Knight and Sonic into oblivion. Izuku's spell quickly forms a kind of black hole that absorbs the enemy energetic magic spell. A second later, the intense magic begins to tear apart the abomination that Zorin becomes with their own transmutation magic, that convert her scythes into demonic alchemical weapons.
At the moment of the impact, she only screams in agony, while rips apart, and collides with the magical black hole. Nothing left remains to her, since it was pure destruction only below the atomic level, revealing how dangerous and terrible was the Giran Ira magic spell.
Fortunately, the prototype was not powerful enough to maintain the dangerous magic black hole opened more than five seconds, and suddenly collapses, releasing the destructive energy straight over the ceiling, blasting all the rocks on their path, until opens a hole straight to outside.
Without much control of the terrible DKL-01 magic weapon, Izuku finally could kill the insane Zorin Blitz, and as a bonus, it opened an escape route to outside.
The only survivors, apart Izuku, was the entire Wild Geese team and Endeavor, who was rescued by the old Magic Overboard kind of heraldic floating discs, the same magic cast by Izuku during the first days on Yuuei Hero Course. Meanwhile, Izuku casts the Raven spell in order to fly alone, while tried to guide the magic transportation device in order to get all the team out of hostile site.
"Mission accomplished!", spoke Gara, "Now… Let's got out of there!"
In reality, the last step was to destroy the site, but they need to escape from the opened hole first, and then escape from North Korea swiftly as fast possible.
