Thanks for the reviews everyone!
Yukihime: Don't apologize!Yeah I know Inuyasha, it's one of my favorite animes. Like with Kazuma I think Inuyasha should just marry Kikyo AND Kagome. Hehe.
Let's start the chappy...
Ren's body heated up. Fire spirits gathered around him and tried to protect him from Eliz's massive attack. He closed his eyes. Even though he was a man and he wanted to be strong and though like his big brother, he was still a little child, afraid of pain and dead. He heard his respected brothers and cousins cries. They broke his heart, he did not want them to be sad. Darn, after all it was his fault anyway. Why was he being so stupid? Believing in the good of the girl... But when he saw her and heard her story, he really felt sorry for her. But maybe, that was just his naive heart playing him a pathetic prank. He would drive his own self to dead.
"I am an idiot.." He thought over and over again. But something was odd- even though he was surrounded by such a big amount of evil power, he couldn't feel any pain.
"What on earth is going on?" He asked himself as he opened his eyes. He saw how Kazuma and Ayano gathered fire and wind spirits in order to protect him. The two were struggling and he realized that he had to do something to help them. They probably thought he was unconscious since he had his eyes closed all this time.
"Damn it..." He thought as he closed his eyes to summon the purification flame. As he gathered all of his power he planned to finish the girl in one hit.
"Finish her? Should I really do that? But...I don't think that something like my attack would kill her...she is really strong...her servant is probably going to protect her too. Anyways...I've to stop her attack for now. "
"Ni-sama, ne-sama, move!" Ren yelled as he got into a fighting position.
"Ren!" Kazuma and Ayano smiled in unison.
Ren nodded with eyes full of determination.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" His attack created a huge explosion. At first sight, it seemed like Eliz was caught up in it. But once all the smoke was gone, she was standing there, with a confident smirk on her face.
Ren clenched his fists.
"My my. You sure are an interesting bunch. I can have fun with you all day!" Eliz laughed sadistically.
"You bitch! How dare you try to kill my brother!" Kazuma yelled.
"Now now. How many brothers of people did you kill, my dear Yagami-san? You should try to act less selfish."
"It's enough!" Kazuma yelled as he created a tornado.
"OH!" Eliz said with eyes full of joy. She was enjoying this, to her all this was nothing but a game. Completely ignoring all the suffering she caused.
Herbert jumped protectively before Eliz and destroyed the tornado in a single weep with his sword.
"Shit!" Kazuma thought angered.
"What? That is all you've got? I heard you killed my precious Otou-san with your contractor powers-how about you activate them right now so that we can have some more fun?"
Kazuma, knowing that he was still too weak to activate his contract for a second time, just stood there with an angry look on his face and his fists clenched. Realizing how much pain her fiance was currently in, Ayano stepped up.
"I will take you on." Ayano said confident, but in truth she was shaking. But she had to do this, after all she wanted to be of use to Kazuma. She wanted him to be able to rely on her in hard times.
"Ayano, don't!" Kazuma yelled.
"Ne-sama!" Ren yelled shoked.
Ayano turned around to look at them with a warm smile.
"It's alright, don't worry. I will buy you some time Kazuma. I will just be doing the usual. I will just be distracting the enemy. Nothing is going to happen to me." Ayano assured, even though she knew she wouldn't be able to keep her promise.
"Huh? Interesting. Well I don't really mind who comes at me first." Eliz replied with a smirk.
Ayano clenched her teeth, she held Enraiha in her hand tightly.
Kazuma couldn't bear to watch any longer. He already lost Jugo, his dad and Kirika, he couldn't afford to lose the person he loved the most as well.
"Idiot!" He yelled as he stepped before her and pushed her away. It caused her to fall to the ground, landing on her butt.
"Who is the idiot here!" She bellowed in her usual enraged tone. And somehow, even though he was aware of the seriousness of the situation, Kazuma couldn't help but smile. Her being like that just brought back so many memories.
"So? You are going to fight me first after all?" Eliz asked in a surprised tone.
"Well, it doesn't matter, all of you will die anyway!" She continued with a bright smile.
"You sure are Erwins daughter." Kazuma said with clenched teeth.
"That is a compliment. Thank you Kazuma Yagami."
"Stop the talking and start fighting!" Kazuma yelled.
"GO! Herbert!"
"KAZUMA!" Ayano yelled as her heart filled with fear for might losing her loved one. She jumped up and realeased a lot of power. The area heated up, her flame was crimson now. She draw Enraiha at Herbert. He moaned in pain as the strock hit him, but it was just for a moment.
"Hmph. Something like that won't do shit to Herbert!" Eliz said arrogantly.
Kazuma gave Ren a stern look, telling him to help him out. Kazuma sent blades of wind flying towards the monster as Ren sent some fire balls towards it.
Herbert destroyed the attacks without much effort.
"Hey now! If you want to play with me use something more entertaining! You bore me already! I might just chop your heads off if this continues!" Eliz cried like a little child.
"Ni-sama! We should come up with some plan!" Ren said.
"This is fucking bad. Her being here doesn't give us the opportunity to discuss anything. Not to forget that getting too close can be suicide. I honestly believe we should just run. I won't be able to activate my contract anytime soon and I can't put you two into any further danger."
Ayano looked disappointed, she wanted to avenge her fathers dad really badly, but even the stubborn redhead realized now, that the enemy was too strong. To defeat it, they'd need a plan.
Much to her displeasure she said:
"But how are we supposed to run, she is right here..."
"That's the problem..." Kazuma replied.
"We could start running as fast as we could, but she will most likely chase us."
"The best way would be to block her view for a while..." Kazuma whispered.
"That's it!" Ren cheered.
"So, does anyone have a bomb like that?" Ayano ask clumsily.
"No, can't you do something like that with your fire magic?"
"I can't! It's impossible!" Ayano yelled as she stomped.
"Hey! Stop being lazy! Get up and fight!" Eliz ordered as she pointed her tiny finger at the three.
"Now now, you should relax Armagest maiden." Kazuma stated with a smirk. He tried to attack her from behind by sending wind blades towards her. At first, it looked like it might work, since neither Eliz nor Herbert realized he was attacking. But a barrier immediately built up before Eliz as the attack was millimeters away from her body.
Kazuma's eyes widened.
"Nice tactic. But as you saw, it won't work on me."
"How the hell were you supposed to sense that?" Ayano bellowed.
"You there! Don't you use such language while talking to me!"
Ayano clenched her teeth, but Kazuma pulled her back, so that she wouldn't try anything stupid.
"I am guessing Erwin gave you all of his power." Kazuma suggested, still disgusted by everything Armagest did.
"That's right. When he died, his power immediately flow into my body. No magican is able to surpass me. I am the strongest magican alive."
"You're pretty cocky." Ayano said.
"I know, especially since I defeated your weak father." Eliz replied with a gaze of challenge.
"You fucking bitch!" Ayano yelled, trying to run at her, but she was again stopped by the strong arms of Kazuma.
"What are you doing let me go!" Ayano struggled.
"Ayano, calm down. We can't get killed here. We will definetily avenge Jugo's, my old man's and Kirika's dead soon, but calm down for now. We can't defeat her." He whispered into her ear. His warm breath and the gentle tone of his voice calmed the Kannagi heiress down instantly.
"Where is your mother?" Ren asked as he looked at Eliz with concern in his eyes.
"She is at home."
"So, your mom is still alive huh?"
"Of course she is! What did you assume?"
"No, I just thought that your dad must have loved your mom. I can't understad why someone who understands the feeling of love would take that beautiful feeling away from someone else. I can't understand why your father killed Tsui-Ling. He would have been sad if someone killed your mom."
"These people don't care for others at all Ren. If killing people gives them pleasure, they will do it, no matter the consequences." Kazuma interupted.
"That is exactly true. And we all know why we had to kill that girl, don't we?" Eliz asked, eyeing Kazuma.
Ayano and Ren seemed unaware, but Kazuma knew what she was refering too. Something he should never have done...
"Ayano-san, Yagami-san, Ren-kun!" A voice called out.
Kazuma was annoyed. Why did anyone have to come now?
Before them stood two figures. They were Kirika's comrads, Izumi and Daiki.
"Kirika did not pick up her phone, so we thought that we should come to check up on her." Izumi stated, looking around.
Kazuma, Ayano and Ren didn't reply at all. Daiki could only guess what happened and his heart started to ache. Izumi still couldn't believe it, she would never believe that someone like Kirika could get killed. She went around to check the place, and she found something horrible. Her beloved comrads, whom she has worked with for years now, chopped off head.
As she looked at it, she started to scream in agony. Daiki couldn't bear to see her like that, he had feelings for her, but he was rejected by Izumi all the time. But right now he didn't care, he knew she needed to be comforted in this situation. He just pulled her in his arms and hugged her, so that she could cry in his arms. Usually, she would have pushed him off, but right now she felt really safe in his arms. They gave her the feeling of support for having to go through this painful situation. Even though the situation was horrible, Daiki enjoyed being able to hold Izumi like this.
"Awww! I am really happy you two came, we will have even more fun now!" Eliz said as she reached out her hand to start something.
That's it for now! I hope you liked it! In the next chap the group will finally be able to strike the enemy! But that's all I'll say for now! Pls review!
p.s: In the novel Daiki has feelings for Izumi, unfortunately there was not much on the couple in the anime but I think they're cute!
