Here I stand, back at the black fort. Where it all began. This is where that monster came to recover. I can tell from the massive army standing between us and him.
"This is it. The finale. Everyone ready?" I asked.
"I'll stand by your side even as you ride to hell master." modeus said.
"It's time I rectify a thousand year mistake." olga said.
"I'll stand by my queen and you to the very end. Dark knight." chloe said.
"I will not allow that foul beast to have it's way." alicia said.
"I-i'll do my best." prim said.
"When this is over. Drinks are on me!" maia yelled.
"This will be a battle talked about for ages!" luu luu yelled.
"My lord…watch over us." kaguya said.
"I'm a knight of the levantine family. Allow me to prove my worth." claudia said.
"My vision promises victory. We will win this! For a better future!" celestine yelled.
"Alright…" i said as i raised my sword in the air. "This nightmare ends today!" i yelled. I charged into the battle. It didn't take long for everything to be muted by the sounds of swords clashing. The princess knights and the dark elves were certainly proving why they earned those titles. It seemed that there was no end to the enemy. But you know the saying. "Cut the snake's head off. And the body will die." i slashed through a bunch of monsters to get to the black fort. And there he is. The black beast. Sitting on olgas throne like his host did. Looking like a douchebag.
"Welcome deimos. Nice of that elf bitch to grant me such a castle." kuroinu said. I grinned.
"Before we try to kill each other. I just want to say to you and vault….thanks." i said. Kuroinu gave me a confused look.
"For what?" kuroinu asked.
"I wasn't expecting much from life…just to settle down somewhere with a woman…but to have the princess knights celestine and olga in a harem? Not what i had in mind…to be honest. I was planning on trying maia. Because I knew my place. A wandering bum turned knight. Me and maia are the same. I didn't think divinity or nobility like the rest of the princess knights would even look at me. This unpredictable change for my life…it was only possible thanks to you and vault's disgusting scheme. So thanks for being such a piece of shit. That a commoner like me managed to become a knight in a fairy tale. An extremely dark and dirty fairy tale. But the point still stands." i said. I activated my lord form and readied my sword. "Time to finish this war!" i yelled. Kuroinu got up from the throne.
"Indeed." kuroinu said. His power flared. The room was soon filled with darkness. I found myself in some huge dark void. I quickly dodged a fist and saw a giant kuroinu. I cracked my neck. And readied my sword.
Kuroinu slammed his huge fist down. I dodged. But the shock wave knocked me on my ass. But i got up quick enough and climbed his fist. I ran up his arm and slashed his eyes. I climbed up and stabbed him in the head. He grabbed and threw me to the ground. The impact was hard. But i got back up.
Kuroinu fired a massive ball of dark energy at me. But i blocked it. Took a lot of strength but i threw it back in his face. The void changed from black to white. And i found myself surronded by those who mutated. Beardsley. Hicks. And shamuhaza.
"Murderer," hicks said.
"How much more blood must you spill you savage animal!" beardsley yelled.
"How much more must you slaughter until your satisfied." shamuhaza said. I sighed.
"If you're trying to guilt trip me. It's not working. None of you were lied to. You all knew what you were doing. And I know for a fact that none of you are sorry. You're just sorry that your plans failed and you ended up dead. Now…let your souls fall to hell. Demonic art: black viper!" i yelled as a huge black snake and devoured all of them. And disappeared shortly after. I found myself back in the black void. Now facing a huge dark dragon. It breathed dark flames. But i jumped to dodge it.
"Demonic art! Dark knights dragon!" i yelled as i raised my sword. An orange light emanate from it. And with a swing. A flaming serpent like dragon appeared and bit kuroinu's hit and exploded.
He changed form again. This time. To a knight with a huge sword. And black wings. It must have been hours since this fight began. It was time to end this. I charged at kuroinu. And he charged at me. I was fast enough to land a powerful blow. Knocking him back. His wings shattered like glass. I walked up to him with a grin. One last charge. He tried to impale me with his sword. But i jumped and got him right in the eye. He knocked my sword in the air. But that was distraction. It was amusing. watching him looking around for me. Not realizing that i was right behind him until it was too late. As he was greeted by the barrel of my revolver when he turned around. With a quick charge of my magic. I pulled the trigger. Blowing his head off. And ridding eostia of the black beast once and for all.

Outside, the battle continued. Until the legion soon started to to be consumed by black flames. When they died down. It was revealed to be confused men. Both human and dark elf.
"So…he did it." olga said. She looked towards the black fort. And saw deimos leaving it. Sword on his back. Revolver at his side. And a smile of victory on his face.
Deimos pov. /epilouge
What happened after that? A Lot actually. Peace between celestine and olga was established. There was some nay sayers here and there. Especially some priests from the church. But they had no right to talk. When they were found out having some pretty awful opinions about celestine. Which was considered blasphemy. So a lot of prejudiced old jackasses got kicked from the church.
One of the first things i did as i gained the position as the eighth shield knight. Was to deal with the slaver operation within eostia. And i handled it with extreme prejudice. Chloe was by my side for the whole thing too. And when we found that old bastard that was her handler. I let chloe deal with him. The screams of agony were music to both our ears.
Speaking of the dark elves. They were apparently aware of that was me that killed kuroinu and freed them of his curse. As when i went to the black fort to give olga a visit. There was a statue of me. Resting on my arms over my sword's hilt while holding my revolver in one hand. The statue had a plaque. It read. "The legendary dark knight. Deimos sparda tachinowarui." i surprisingly remained humble Despite that.
Another thing i had to do was to eliminate any last remaining kuroinu mercenary. As long as one remained. They would rebuild and try again. I made sure thoroughly that vaults dream of a cuntry would ever haunt eostia again. It really is a shame. The kuroinu were seen as heroes but thanks to this sick dream of their leader. Their name would go down hated and forgotten. That's not how i want to be remembered.
As for modeus…he would spend his days learning about kaguya's history. And guarding her. As her personal knight. I've seen them having a date at a favorite food place of kaguya's. I must admit. She really rocked that kimono.
And as for me…i couldn't be happier. Seven beautiful women who love me. Admiration and respect from the people. This really wasn't what I was expecting. I wasn't expecting to be Eostia's hero. But I guess that's what happens when you refuse to let evil triumph. To be the good man doing nothing…and now here i am. In a huge bed. With my seven beautiful girlfriends breathing heavily and sweating from a long time of sex. I held them all close. As i went to sleep and got ready for another day.

Back at the black fort. A hooded figure sneaks in and steals a red crystal. She then leaves on her horse. And returns to the kingdom negramstia. An empire far far to the north of eostia. As she enters the throne room she lowers her hood revealing herself to be a dark elf with short hair. She bowed to the woman on the throne.
"Lady radomira…i got what you sent me to obtain…" the dark elf said as she presented the crystal. The empress got up. And with a sinister grin. She inserted the crystal into her forehead. Resulting in a transformation. Her clothes ripped off as dark wings grew on her back. A long sharp tail grew from above her rear. And finally growing demon like horns. Her appearance was no different from a succubus.
"The power of the black beast…is incredible…now to gain some more." the succubus said. As she clapped her hands. "Bring me some cute young boys! Chop chop!" she demanded. Her knights saluted and when to complete her request. "Soon…this world will be mine." the empress said with a sinister grin and lick of her lips.
The dark knight's battle isn't over….not yet.
