After getting all the students settled in class, Freya Grandol announced that today was the start to the official ranking matches to determine which teams would represent Areisha Spirit Academy at the upcoming blade dance. Incomplete teams could still compete, but only teams of five would make the final cut.
Seeing as Kamito still had not chosen any team members, his first match would have him against a trio of second year girls. Since the format of the Blade Dance had not been announced yet, the different rating matches would cover the possible layouts. Kamito's first official match would take place in the same arena in Astral Zero that he had faced Ellis in.
Arianna Vandross was a tall girl with reddish blonde hair down to the middle of her back and emerald green eyes. She had a very serious air about her.
Misty Lochardt was a little shorter than Arianna, but still taller than average. Her jet black hair was kept in a braid that nearly reached her knees, and contrasted beautifully with her cinnamon colored eyes that sparkled playfully.
Last for the team facing Kamito was a short girl work ash blonde hair done in twin short pony tails. Her name was Haruka Ise. She stared at Kamito with expressionless steel grey eyes.
The moment he laid his eyes on Haruka, Kamito's mind was transported back in time
***Flashback***
Kamito was walking back his room at the Instructional School when he heard a sound he had not heard in a very long time. Pausing at a door, He could definitely hear the quiet sound of someone crying. Curious, he opened the door and saw a young girl with ash blonde hair and grey eyes sitting on a worn out mattress on the floor. She quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve and tried to hide the fact she had just been sniffling.
"Why were you crying?" A young Kamito asked.
"..." The girl just stared at the boy that had just entered her room. She had seen him around the school before, many times with a young woman with dark hair and wearing a dusk colored dress, but she didn't know anything about him.
"Okay, well, how about your name? My name is Kazehaya Kamito." Kamito introduced himself, squatting down next to the girl.
"Muir…" the girl mumbled. She wasn't sure why this boy was being nice to her. She was a monster. She knew that when he learned of this, he would run away just like everyone else did.
Even though he was sitting right next to her, Kamito still did not catch her name. "Sorry, I didn't catch that."
"Muir." she said a little louder this time. "Muir Alenstarl."
"Muir, that's a nice name. So tell me,Muir, why were you crying?" Kamito asked again.
"Everybody hates Muir. Muir is a monster." The young girl's eyes filled with tears again.
"You don't look like a monster though." Kamito said, making a show of looking her up and down.
"Muir has the Jester's Vice." Muir held her right hand so Kamito could see the strange markings. "The Jester's Vice makes Muir a monster."
"I don't think you're a monster. I think Muir is just Muir." Kamito patted Muir in the top of the head. "Say, how would you like to be friends?"
Muir stared blankly at him for a moment before responding. "We are just tools be used and discarded, what use are friends?"
Kamito frowned for a moment. "Okay, well then, how about family? I could be your onii-sama, your big brother. How about that?"
"Onii..sama? Big brother?" Muir said slowly, mulling the idea in her head. She hadn't had anyone willing to consider her as a part of their family since that incident in the village when she was four. Now, here was this boy, not much older than she was, that did not view her as the monster the world believed her to be, and he wanted to be her big brother. A small smile formed on her face new tears appeared in her eyes. "Muir has a big brother...Kamito is Muir's nii-sama." Muir said happily.
***End Flashback***
Kamito had not thought about his adopted little sister for a couple of years now. He had heard rumors about an elementalist that had the power to drive spirits mad while on his travels with Iseria, but never anything concrete. Her had always held out the hope that she had somehow escaped from the Instructional School during the chaos, and that he would get to see her again one day.
Kamito was brought back to reality when he felt a nudge on his arm. Glancing around, Kamito noticed everyone was looking at him. "Hehe..sorry." Kamito apologized while rubbing the back of his head "It's just that I used to know someone who looks very much like you, Haruka."
"So the Demon King of the night is a lolicon as well." Misty observed.
"Demon King of the night?" Kamito questioned.
"Don't try to deny it, we've heard all the rumors." Arianna retorted.
"Really now. If I had really done a small fraction of what those rumors claim, how would I be able to maintain a spirit contract, let alone two?" Kamito challenged.
"T-two?" Misty and Arianna sputtered while Haruka looked at the two girls accompanying Kamito.
"Yes, let me introduce you to my contacted spirits, Atlantae and Est." Iseria curtseyed and Est just looked on blankly.
"So, you think you can take the three of us on at once?" Arianna huffed.
"Now now, Ari. He is pretty cute. Kamito, how would you like to join our team? We wouldn't have to battle, and we are both in need of more members." Misty offered.
"What?! No no no, we don't need someone like him on our team!" Arianna quickly argued.
Haruka glanced between Kamito and his spirits and nodded. "I think we should have him join us." she spoke very quietly.
"Not you too, Ruka!" Arianna cried.
"Girls, I'm flattered, but I would like to see what you can do before I make my decision." Kamito responded.
"I guess it can't be helped then. Just so you know, will not take it easy on you just because it is three on one." Misty shrugged.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Kamito smiled. Both sides took up their starting positions and waited for the starting signal.
"Iseria, I'm going to lead off with Est until we find out what their abilities are. Please watch my back, and be careful. I do not want to use any kido if out can be avoided." Kamito stated, turning serious.
"I agree with your strategy, but with you holding back a majority of your power as you are, this maybe as uphill battle. Please take care, I have your back." Iseria commented.
"Thanks Iseria." "Ready Est?"
"Yes Kamito." Est gripped Kamito's hand.
"Dispassionate Queen of Steel, the sacred sword that destroys evil, now form my sword."
In a flash of light, Est disappeared and the sword Terminus Est appeared Kamito's right hand.
When the signal to start sounded, Haruka summoned her waffe, which took the form of a kusari-gama. Taking a hold of Arianna's hand, both Haruka and Arianna vanished into a nearby shadow.
"Hmm, a shadow elementalist. This will complicate things a touch." Kamito frowned. He then noticed that Misty was almost done with her spirit chant. Looking around, he noticed that the shadows were starting to take more of a humanoid form. 'Great, what now?'
"Kamito, this could prove to be troublesome. This is a legion type spirit.' Iseria informed Kamito.
"Okay, so we know we have a legion type spirit, and a shadow elementalist. What of the third?" Kamito suddenly felt a spike in killer intent and leapt backwards just as something impacted the ground where he was just standing. "Okay, answers that. Iseria, try and find that sniper."
"I'm on it." Iseria started scanning the upper reaches of the arena for hiding spots as Misty finished her summoning. She seemed to melt into the darkness as the shadows started closing on Kamito.
Kamito moved to engage the nearest shadow soldier when the weighted ball end of a kusari-gama shot from the chest of the shadow, wrapping around his right hand. He managed to duck to avoid the follow up sniper shot aimed at his head. "Iseria, any luck on that sniper?"
Iseria caught a small movement in the rocks with the last shot. Before she could respond to Kamito, she had to avoid the sickle end of the kusari-gama that flew out of a nearby shadow. She dodged the weapon, but unfortunately that put her in the path of the sniper's next shot. "Gyah!" Iseria shouted out as electricity surged through her body.
"Iseria!" Kamito called out loud unintentionally.
"Hah...I'm fine...hah...the sniper...hah...is firing compressed bolts..of lightning." Iseria relayed, catching her breath. "I know..where she is now."
Arianna smirked she watched the female spirit drop to her knee from over the sights on her waffe, which resembled an old muzzle loading rifle. Her smirk quickly disappeared when the spirit stood back up and glared in her direction, clearly pissed off. "Shit!" Arianna muttered as she tried to relocate herself. She saw the spirit raise her hand, and the air suddenly became humid. Suddenly the humidity solidified and encased Arianna in crystal clear ice.
Kamito watched as several tall spires of ice erupted near an outcropping of rocks at the fast end of the arena. "The sniper had been neutralized." Kamito heard Iseria say through their link. "Thank you, now rest a bit, I'll finish these other two off."
Kamito saw Haruka leap from one shadow soldier to another, launching several senbon at him in the process. He dodged the senbon, but ended up too close to several shadow figures. He slashed one, but the other was able to lay a hand on him. He could instantly feel his divine power being siphoned from him. Several quick slashes cleared the area around him of the shadows, but he was unable to avoid the senbon that was thrown from point blank range as Haruka jump between two nearby shadows.
'Looks like I will need to use one of that hag's skills after all.' Kamito closed his eyes and focused his energy to locating Haruka's energy in the shadows. It took him several moments, but finally, her found a very weak energy signature coming from one of the approaching shadows. Opening his eyes, He could see that Misty had taken advantage of his eyes being closed to surround him with her legion.
"Est, when I tell you, I want you to negate the magic around us. Can you do that?"
"Yes, Kamito."Est replied. Kamito waited for the shadows to get a little closer before he went on the offensive.
"Absolute Blade Arts-Third Form: Shadowmoon Waltz."
Kamito seemed to vanish in a blur of spinning slashes that struck every nearby shadow almost simultaneously. Kamito watched Haruka was thrown violently from one shadow as she was struck by Est. "Now Est!" Kamito shouted as he pumped divine power into Est. She shone brightly and the rest of the shadows instantly vanished, revealing a startled Misty.
"I forfeit!" Misty admitted defeat with her hands raised. She giggled asset Kamito's stunned expression. "I'm not a fan of pain, and you already defeated my teammates, so this is the best decision."
A groan came from Haruka as she came to lying on the bench Kamito had carried her too. A shivering Arianna came down the steps after Iseria had dispelled her icy prison. "H-h-how d-did y-y-you f-find m-m-me?" she asked through chattering teeth.
Iseria smiled sweetly "That's a secret." Arianna pouted at that.
"I can't believe how strong you are." Misty said, scooting closer to Kamito. "You are on a totally different level than anyone else I have ever met." She reached out to touch Kamito's arm, which he shifted out of the way. He could tell what she was trying to do but, honestly speaking, he just wasn't interested in human girls.
"You three work really well together, that was a good fight. Thank you for your effort." Kamito stood up and bowed his head. "Unfortunately, I must get going. Until we meet again, I wish you well. Atlantae, Est, shall we?" Kamito departed with Iseria holding onto his left arm and Est walking on his right.
"Well phooey." Misty pouted. "I was really wanting to get to know him better."
"We don't need him, his reputation alone could cause us problems. If the rumors really are true, then our purity could be at stake." Arianna stated.
Misty fell over on her back, looking into the Astral Zero sky and sighed. "Yeah, but I bet it would so be worth it." she saw Haruka looking towards the arena with a straight face, but she could see the concern and confusion in her friend's eyes. "Hey, Ruka, What's on your mind?"
"We got lucky." Haruka responded.
"What do you mean?" Arianna asked. "Sure we lost, but I still think we did pretty decent."
Haruka thought back to what Kamito had yelled out when his spirit had been hit with Arianna's attack. "Iseria!" 'He could not have been referring to Iseria Seaward, could he?' Not one to be involved in rumors or gossip, she still knew she had too ask Kamito. She would just have to wait till she wasn't around the others first.
"They let us off easy, they were both holding themselves back significantly. Their strength is unfathomable. I fear that not even Headmistress Greyworth would be unable to stop them if they became serious." Haruka informed her teammates, much to their shock. They knew that among the students at the academy, Haruka was one of the best at reading opponents, so they didn't doubt her assessment.
'So Kamito, you're a more interesting person than I imagined.' Misty thought with a lustful smile.
Kamito was sitting with Iseria drinking tea while Est munched on various pastries from a platter on the center of the cafe table they were occupying when a fuming redhead approached. Flopping into a seat, she snatched up a pastry, muttering "Stupid beast swarm."
Kamito took in Claire's disheveled look with her dirty and rumpled uniform and twigs still in her hair, and exchanged a look with Iseria. "why hello Claire Rouge. Why don't you join us, would you care for a pastry?" Kamito said with mock politeness.
Claire stopped in mid bite, realizing what she was doing. "It's your fault anyway." Claire muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" Kamito asked in a challenging tone.
Claire glared at him for a few seconds before looking away in a huff. "Nothing. P-please pardon my intrusion. May I p-please join you?" The words tasted bitter to Claire.
Kamito nodded and returned to his tea. Claire decided to reach for another bread when a dagger appeared before her hand. Claire jerked her hand back and glared at Kamito.
"I would advise against taking the melon bread. Est seems to have taken a particular liking to them." Kamito nodded his head toward the sword spirit who was frowning at her.
"Ho ho, I never imagined seeing the two of you amicably sharing a table like this." Rinslet said as she approached the table.
"Can it Frosty." Claire grumbled as she grabbed another pastry.
Rinslet was taken aback by this reaction, until she noticed Claire's appearance. "Rough morning?"
"Hmph!" Claire huffed as she bit into a peach filled danish. Suddenly her bad mood seemed to evaporate, at least temporarily.
"Good day, Rinslet. Hello Carol." Kamito greeted the two young women. "Would you care to join us?"
Smiling, Rinslet took the open seat, while Carol stood just behind her. "Thank you Kamito. Congratulations on your victory this morning, I heard was a tough battle."
Kamito smiled "They were good, their abilities worked well together, and their strategy was well thought out. Have either of you been able to form a team yet?"
"... …." Claire looked away uncomfortably. Kamito figured she was having trouble finding someone who didn't see her just as a traitor's sister.
"I am having trouble finding someone who can meet my standards." Rinslet admitted with a flip of her hair.
"Mi'lady has tried to form a few teams, but her high standards and attitude have hindered her progress." Carol whispered conspiratorially to Kamito, who nodded in understanding.
"What about you Kamito? Have you assembled your team yet?" Rinslet asked hopefully. Claire also gave her attention to the only male in the school.
"I still have a few matches that I want to check out, but I have seen several that have potential." Kamito explained.
"I heard there is a new transfer student who is a holy spirit user. Rumor has it that she has a very impressive bust." Carol chimed in.
"A holy spirit user you say." Kamito said in contemplation.
"S-s-so you like girls w-with big chests?" Claire asked looking at the table, placing her hands over her small breasts.
"It isn't the size of the chest that's important, but the size of the heart behind that chest." Kamito stated firmly, giving Iseria's hand a squeeze under the table. This statement earned "Ahs" and starry eyed looks from every girl within hearing range.
"Kazehaya Kamito!" Ellis called out as she approached the table. "I want you to be with me!" Kamito looked at her with a raised eyebrow while Claire and Rinslet gaped at her. Carol giggled and Iseria shook her head.
Ellis heard giggling behind her from Rakka and Reisha. Looking around and seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, Ellis realized how her words were received.
"Oh my Captain, so bold." Rakka teased.
"And in front of so many people no less." Reisha added.
"I-I..th-that..I mean…" Ellis became a stuttering mess.
Rakka stepped forward while Reisha attempted to calm Ellis down. "Kamito, what the Captain was trying to ask was if you would consider joining our team for the blade dance."
"She certainly has a way with words." Kamito commented, looking over at the blushing captain of the knights, then back to the smiling Rakka. "And some say I'm bad with teasing, I'm impressed." Kamito grins, earning an even bigger smile from Rakka.
"She just reacts so well." Rakka states with Kamito nodding in agreement.
"Thank you for the offer, but I have not made my final decisions yet, but I will keep your group in mind." Kamito picked up his cup for another drink, but discovered it to already be empty. A different waitress that they had earlier approached and asked if he would like a refill, as well as to see if anyone else would like to place an order. She had long jade gem hair and pointed ears characteristic of the Elfim race.
"What is Vivian doing here?" Kamito looked at Iseria.
"I'm not sure, but we should keep our guard up. She likes to stir up trouble wherever she goes." Iseria responded.
They have encountered the Murders member upon several occasions in their travels, and each encounter was a headache that Kamito wished he could forget. Especially the time that Vivian had discovered him cross dressed and sneaking into a convent while he was investigating rumor of corruption in that town's clergy. It had taken several days to clear that up, and he was still banned from entering that particular town. He later learned that she had been in the area to bribe officials into allowing illegal arms to be transported through the territory.
"One other thing Kamito. Headmistress Greyworth would like you come to her office immediately." Ellis informed him, finally regaining her voice.
"Thank you Ellis."
Making his way to the headmistress' office, Kamito paused and smiled at the familiar energy in the room. Not even bothering to knock, Kamito just opened the door to Greyworth's office and allowed Iseria and Est to enter before he followed.
"I was growing tired of waiting young man." Greyworth scowled.
"Whenever I receive a summons from you, something just makes me want to drag my feet a little more than usual." Kamito shrugged.
"Cheeky brat." Greyworth muttered. Next to the window behind the desk stood a young woman. She was facing away from the office, but Kamito already knew who she was.
"Hello Fianna. It's been a while." Kamito greeted.
Fianna turned around with a small pout. "At least act a little surprised Kamito. Good day, Lady Iseria." Fianna offered a polite curtsey.
"Hello Princess Fianna, I hope you have been well." Iseria greeted Fianna with her own curtsey.
"Hey Fianna, this is Est. She is the former spirit of Areishia Idriss." Kamito introduced Est.
Fianna giggled. "Ironic that the new contractor of the demon slaying sword is the reincarnated Demon King."
"Hmm, I wasn't aware that you were so familiar with Kamito here." Greyworth commented with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes ma'am, Kamito actually saved my life three years ago when my foolishness got me into trouble." Fianna explained, looking out the window wistfully. 'Not to mention he helped me recover my Georgios. I can never thank you enough for that, Kamito.' Fianna thought, placing a hand over her contract seal in her cleavage.
"Very well. That makes this more simple. Kazehaya Kamito, the reason I have summoned you is for a very special mission. Are you familiar with the town of Gado?" Greyworth asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, that is the old abandoned town where they used to mine spirit crystals. What about it?" Kamito responded.
"Recently there have been a number of seismic anomalies occurring around the old mine. According to secret documents, after the mine was abandoned, the military sealed a tactical class spirit in the deepest recesses of the mine." Greyworth explained.
"And you think that the seal may be weakening? Let me guess, you brought Fianna here to perform an inspection of the seal." Kamito said knowingly.
"Precisely." Greyworth confirmed.
"What is it that you need from me?" Kamito already knew why he was here, he just wanted her to say it out loud.
"You are to be her bodyguard. I have taken the liberty of officially listing her as a member of your team. You will be accompanying her on this mission." Greyworth sat back in her seat to watch his reactions, she just wished she could see it when he discovers the last surprise. "I have urgent matters to attend to this evening, you are all dismissed."
Fianna and Iseria both curtsied upon hearing this, while Kamito and Est just turned to leave. "Almost forgot to mention, I saw an old acquaintance of yours today. Vivian Melosa is over in the academy town working in a cafe." Kamito took pleasure in the frown that formed on Greyworth's face.
Out in the hallway, Kamito turned to Fianna. "We will head out first thing in the morning, would you like a tour of the campus?"
"That would be nice, thank you, Ren Ashbell." Fianna teased.
"It would be my honor, Lost Queen. By the way, how is Georgios?" Kamito teased back.
Kamito, along with Iseria, walked with Fianna, showing her the important locations around the academy while Est decided to revert to get sword form and rest. They were sitting on a bench near the fountain in the main courtyard when a couple of familiar faces stopped by.
"Kamito!" Misty called out as she ran up to the male elementalist. Trailing behind her were her teammates, Arianna and Haruka. "Thank you for the great match earlier, it was a lot of fun."
"Hey Misty. Hello again Arianna and Haruka, how are you all doing? You appear to have thawed out a bit Arianna." Kamito greeted the trio.
"Hmph!" Arianna huffed and turned away, but a light dusting of pink could be seen tinting her cheeks.
"I see, you still need to defrost that shoulder, huh?" Kamito teased, causing giggles from the other girls. Arianna's shoulders sagged slightly and she turned back to the group.
"Girls, this is the Second Princess of the Ordesian Empire, Fianna Ray Ordesia. Fianna, this is Misty, Arianna, and Haruka, all second year students." Kamito made introductions.
The trio of girls stared wide eyed and open mouthed for a few moments before bowing their heads low and curtseying deeply, with each girl saying "Your Majesty." or "Your Highness."
"Please, there is no need to show me any special treatment, I'm just a student here, just like you." An embarrassed Fianna blushed at the attention.
Turning back to Kamito, Misty asked "So..umm...Kamito, have you thought about who you want on your team yet?"
"I'm still considering all my options, but for now it is Fianna and myself. We have a task that the headmistress asked us to complete tomorrow, but after that, I will make my decision." Kamito informed Misty.
"Okay, Kamito. Well, talk to you later. It was nice meeting you Fianna." Misty waved goodbye as she and her friends left.
"Come on, I'll walk you to your dorm room." Kamito offered. "I would assume that they have you in the Raven Class dorms."
"No, I'm actually staying in the dorms for the visiting elementalists." Fianna corrected him.
"Well, that's a bit of a coincidence, that is the dorm building we are staying in." Iseria commented. Kamito stated to get a bad feeling as to where this was going.
Arriving at the dorm building, Fianna walked straight to the door that let to the suite that Kamito was staying in. Pulling out a key, Fianna opened the door and burst into a fit of giggles when she saw the decor.
'Why does it not surprise me that the old hag has us sharing the suite?' Kamito face palmed.
Kamito excused himself to the kitchen to cook dinner while Iseria and Fianna sat down and exchanged small talk. A short while later, Est carried a tea service in and set it on the coffee table.
A figure stealthily sprinted from shadow to shadow as it headed toward the main building of the academy. Jio paused behind a tree when he spotted a pair of knights making their patrol. Leaping up to a low branch, the assassin waited for the girls to pass by.
"Tsk. Rich pampered bitches, they don't know how lucky they are that I'm not supposed to permanently harm them. Damned bitches, thinking they are so special being able to contract spirits, I'll show them. After I kill that bastard, Kamito, I'll prove that I am the true Demon King. First, I'll make that Cardinal bitch and that damned darkness spirit submit to me, then I'll return here and show these stuck up bitches what a real man is."
With a feral grin, Jio jumps from his hiding spot, landing just behind the patrolling girls, surprising them. He quickly knocks them out before they can raise the alarm. He drug them off the path and took a moment to appreciate their beauty before sprinting into the school building. Jio was able to quickly locate Greyworth's office, entering and searching for his prize. Surprisingly, it was sitting in the open on her desk.
"Well, that was anticlimactic. Oh well, I guess it's time to have a little fun."
"This is amazing, Kamito. How did you learn to cook so good?" Fianna praised the cook for the evening.
"Some of the side jobs that have come along involved cooking and serving food, so it kind of became a necessity. That and Iseria enjoys good food." Kamito admitted.
Kamito suddenly stiffened in his seat moments before an explosion echoed across the campus. Fianna involuntarily shrank in her seat and Iseria frowned as the look of pure fury on Kamito's face. There had only been a few instances in the past that she could recall Kamito displaying such anger.
"Jio Inzagi." Kamito growled standing up. "Iseria, I need you to stay here and protect Fianna."
"Of course Kamito." Iseria stood up as well.
"I could he…" Fianna started before Kamito interrupted her.
"Jio is another student of the instructional school. I'm sorry, but you wouldn't stand a chance against him. Please stay here with Iseria, this will only take a moment. Come on Est."
"Yes Kamito." Est responded, the two of them rushing from the room.
Ellis was completing her final patrol of the night when a frantic wind spirit found her. She had discovered some time ago that by appeasing the lower classed wind spirits, she could add an extra level of security to the school. The spirit informed her off the intruder and the attack on the patrol group near the main building.
"Evil winds, pierce through my sworn enemy's heart, become a demonic spear and lodge within my hand!"
"I am the witch who gallops across the sky! Air Wings!" Ellis chanted the spell for high speed flight. In a matter of minutes, Ellis had arrived where the girls had been attacked. Both girls were starting to air when Ellis had arrived.
"Report." Ellis barked once she saw the girls were relatively unharmed.
"Captain, we were taken by a surprise attack from behind. One assailant. Appeared to be male. He had strange tattoos on his face and arms." The knight, Erika Bastian, reported.
"Good work, Erika. Erika, Izumi, I need you to summon the other knights. I'll look for the intruder." Ellis ordered.
"Yes ma'am!" The two knights team off in opposite directions to spread the alarm.
Ellis was searching for clues tip the location on the intruder when an explosion blasted a hole in the side of the main building. 'That was Headmistress Greyworth's office!' Ellis thought as she shielded herself from small pieces of smoldering debris.
A cloaked figured leapt from the hole in the wall to the path near Ellis. Brandishing her Ray Hawk, Ellis charged at the intruder. "In the name of the Sylphid Knights, I command you to halt!"
Jio turned and saw a young woman running towards him with a wicked looking spear. He threw several kunai with paper tags attached in her direction. When they were in close proximity of her, the tags exploded, blasting the spear wielder into the air. She landed hard, tumbling to a stop near some shrubs. "Pathetic! I'm not even going to waste a spirit on you."
Ellis picked herself off the ground and leaned heavily on her spear. Her uniform was singed and tattered, but still hid her modesty. 'Where the hell did those explosions come from?' She warily watched the stranger as he gathered energy into his hand, resembling a swirling blue ball.
"Evil winds, go and rampage!" Ellis launched an attack of wind blades at Jio, who dodged them by jumping into the air.
"Rasengan!" Jio yelled as he thrust the swirling ball of energy at Ellis.
"Bakudo 81! Danku!" A large rectangular shield of energy appeared in front of Ellis, blocking Jio's attack.
"Kamito!" Ellis cried happily as Kamito ran up next to her with Est by his side.
"Tsk. If it isn't the false Demon King. Looks like I get claim my fee early." Jio sneered, jumping back several meters. Raising his hand into the air, several of the chain tattoos began glowing bright red.
So concludes chapter 6. Thank you everyone for reading. I know I said that I would get to Gado this chapter, but this just seemed like a good place to stop. Yes, I gave Jio powers from Naruto. I thought that I should give him a power boost since Kamito had already awakened as the Demon King.
I also decided to come up with a few OCs so Kamito could have other fights than just the ones in canon so I could add a little separation from Claire and Rinslet. It was also fun to try and come up with different powers that could be used together. Let me know what you think. If I get enough positive feedback for them, they will appear in future chapters. Otherwise they will just have served their purpose and be retired after this chapter.
Next chapter will definitely be the fight in Gado. Est will also reveal a new ability. Thank you again for your continued support. Have a wonderful day.
