Akane continued to fight against Shizuru and used a new burst of energy to pull against the restraint held around her. She grit her teeth as she angrily declined her captor's offer.
"I'll never betray Kazu!"
Shizuru shook her head in disappointment. The syringe disappeared from her hand, and she took her naginata hilt with both hands as she spoke.
"Very well. You and your Emperor can live happily ever after... in Hell."
Shizuru sneered as she pulled on the hilt of her weapon with a sharp twist. In an instant, each barb on the extending naginata turned on its sharp edge, shredding the material of Akane's Meister Robe and mincing her flesh and bone with ease. This would have resulted in rather spectacular gore, but Akane's death was relatively merciful as her nanomachines self-destructed and disintegrated her filleted remains into green embers in seconds.
Elsewhere, in Chaldea's castle, Emperor Kazuya Krau-xeku suddenly wailed in pain as wounds erupted across his body and he quickly dissolved in the same display of green fire and sparks as his Otome. The kingdom had fallen.
THE END.
