Happy New Years everybody!
The swordsman of flames ignites into life
Screams filled the air as people ran away from human-looking monsters that have black and silver skin along with having a silver mask-like face. Draped around them are light-brown rags and everyone of them is carrying a short sword.
Despite everyone running away from seems to be a town-square, a small boy around five years old, whose features include short ash-white hair that spikes up at the bottom and light green eyes, trembled on the ground.
"W-what is going on?!" The boy thought in fear just before hearing metal clashing together.
The boy turned his head towards the direction of the sound to see two people fighting with swords. One of them is a male with short black hair and his clothes are filled with holes.
His sword, from the boy's perspective, is silver in colour and floating next to the man is a book which is opened and glowing.
His opponent is a different story.
The other person is wearing a completely purple suit that has black and gold trimmings over his body along with a trench-coat like piece covering his right leg. He has a silver chest guard along with a silver guard for his left shoulder. His right shoulder, however, has a molded guard in the shape of a dragon's head done in black with a mask done in silver with three red slit-like parts. The purple-clad person is wearing a helmet that is black with the top part being purple whilst the front part is silver with three red slit-like parts and some black trimming on the right side of the silver mask piece. Sticking out of the purple-clad person's helmet is a spiky gold horn.The purple clad person is wearing a black belt that is holding something in the buckle, but the small boy is too far away to see properly.The sword, also from the boy's perspective, also has a spiky gold blade along with a purple hilt.
Like with the first man, there is a floating book next to the purple clad sword-wielding, glowing with a purple colour.
The small boy watch them fight with their swords, although the purple-clad sword-wielder is easily overpowering the other sword-wielder.
It was then that the small boy heard footsteps approaching him and his eyes widened as he saw that it was the black and silver sword-wielding monsters.
The small boy covered his head with his arms, preparing to feel the monster's swords.
"No you don't!" a female voice shouted and the small boy heard a slight thumping sound.
The small boy looked up slightly to saw someone standing in front of him wearing armor.
The small boy didn't saw his savior's entire figure, but he saw that she is wielding a silver sword that has a red strip running along the center of the blade and a red guard that seemed to have an emblem embed in the center piece.
The black and silver monsters back away slowly, becoming weary of the new comer.
It was at that moment that the purple-clad sword wielder knocked the first sword wielder to the side.
"Teacher!" The female sword-wielder exclaimed in concern before gaining a serious expression under her helmet as the purple-clad sword-wielder turned his attention towards her.
"Give me the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book, Saber." The purple-clad sword-wielder said in a modified voice as he walked towards the female sword-wielder and the small boy.
The female sword wielder's eyes narrowed as she eyed the approaching purple-clad sword-wielder and the silver-sword wielding monsters before glancing over her shoulder to look down at the small boy where upon her expression softened slightly.
"I'm sorry that I have to do this, Asta. But remember this….." The female sword-wielder began to say as she turned her sword into the reverse grip.
"Hope can be found beyond your resolution." The female sword-wielder said before beginning to stab the ground with her sword.
However, it was at this moment that the purple-clad sword-wielder lunged towards her, sword prepared to strike.
Luckily, the female sword-wielder's sword connected to the ground, creating a explosion which engulfed the area.
"Asta! This is no time to be snoozing off!" A female voice called whist shaking a teen with ash-white hair, along with having a black bandana wrapped around his head.
"H-huh?" The teen said in a groggily tone of voice as his eyes opened, revealing them to be green.
"There's chores still needing to be done." The voice said just as the now known Asta look up to see a young looking female with dark blue hair and teal eyes wearing a nun's habit along with a golden cross.
"Oh, right." Asta said as he rub his eyes.
"Would you mind with helping the laundry? The basket's already outside." The nun asked as she began to head towards the kitchen door.
"Sure, Sister Lily." Asta replied to the now known Lily Aquaria.
As Asta stood up from the kitchen table, he glanced down to see a hand-sized rectangular object that resembles a book with a red outline. On the front is a picture of a red dragon with yellow eyes underneath the title "Brave Dragon" which has some unrecognizably text underneath. At the bottom of the picture are three small rectangles where the left one has a arrow pointing down. The middle of the "book" is done in black whilst the back is completely done in red apart from a symbol that resembles a slightly opened book done in silver.
"That dream again." Asta thought as he picked up the "book" and stared at it for a few seconds before placing it in his pocket.
"Okay. Just make sure not to burn the clothes." Asta muttered in a low tone of voice as he place a flame covered hand underneath the clothes that are hanging on a line.
"Just what is that dream? It looked super realistic." Asta thought, frowning slightly as his thoughts turned back towards the dream that he had.
"And that female sword-wielder. Just who is she?" Asta thought again, becoming slightly frustrated.
For some reason, Asta always wanted to properly see the women who protected the dream version of him.
"Maybe when I go to the Capital, I can find someone who can help me." Asta thought, smiling slightly.
"So, Asta." A voice spoke, making Asta to turn his head, making sure to keep his hand very still to see Sister Lilly behind him.
"Has there been development with your missing memories?" Sister Lilly asked in a slight concern tone of voice.
Asta shook his head.
"Hmm. That's a disappointment." Sister Lilly said, gaining a disappointment look on her face.
What the two of them are talking about is that Asta has no memories prior to ten years ago when he was found soaking wet in a stream near Hage village, a small village within the Forsaken realm of the Clover Kingdom.
The only thing that the five year old boy had with him is the "Brave Dragon" "book", clutched tightly in his hand.
"P-please don't be sad, Sister Lilly! It's not like that I'm in any rush to regain my memories!" Asta said in a slight panic tone of voice.
Sister Lilly giggled.
"Your too kind, Asta." Sister Lilly said with smile on her face.
"Finally up I see, Asta." A male voice spoke, making Asta and Sister Lilly to turn their heads to see a middle age man with short grey hair, yellow eyes and wearing a priest's robes.
"Yes. I'm awake, Father Orsi." Asta replied, making Orsi Orfai smile slightly.
"That's good to hear. We don't want people to think of you as someone who is lazy!" Father Orsi commented, making Asta frown.
"If you shout, then people will find out." Asta grumbled to himself.
"Just make sure to keep an eye on the laundry Asta. We want them dry, not burnt." Father Orsi pointed out, making Asta widened his eyes before whipping his head around.
Luckily, the laundry aren't burnt.
"Ahh. What a relief." Asta said, sighing slightly.
"Haven't burnt the laundry, Asta?" A voice asked rhetorically, making Asta, Sister Lilly and Father Orsi to turn their heads to see a group of children approaching them from the pathway.
The person who asked the question is a boy with short dark hair and amber eyes.
"Hey! That was one time, Yuno! And that was the first time doing the laundry." Asta shouted, becoming angry whilst standing up.
Yuno simply shrugged his shoulders, making Asta growled slightly.
"I see that you collected a impressive amount of wood logs." Sister Lilly commented, her attention fixed on the basket filled with wood that two of the children are carrying.
"Yuno did most of the work though." Hollo, a boy with short red hair and pale green eyes said, making Nach, a boy with brown hair and brown eyes, nod his head in agreement.
"Well, good job all the same." Sister Lilly said with a smile on her face.
"Yes! Yuno will become a fine Magic Knight when he pass the entrance exam." Father Orsi exclaimed with tears in his eyes.
"Hey! What about me?" Asta asked, feeling slightly left out.
"I'm sure that you have your uses." Father Orsi said, speaking in a blank tone of voice.
This cause Asta to growl in frustration which made everyone, including two young girls, one with short black hair and the other with light brown hair, to laugh.
"Grrrr. I show you all when I get my Grimoire tomorrow!" Asta shouted shouted before taking the now dry laundry off the line and stomping away.
Within a room in a different location, the same purple-clad sword-wielder that has been plaguing Asta's dream walked towards a wall where a picture frame hang.
The picture area suddenly slid to the side, revealing many small bookshelves.
The purple-clad sword-wielder then picked up a object that resembles the "book" that Asta carries with him.
"The time has come for a new world to emerge." The purple-clad sword-wielder said, turning his attention towards the three other people in the room.
He then passed the "book" to one of the other members in the room, this one having brown highlights in his black hair.
"Allow me to open the first page." The person said as he hold the "book" aloft, revealing that the "book" has a black jagged cover with the title "Gansekiou Golem".
"All Right! Time to get our Grimoires!" Asta exclaimed in a excited tone of voice.
"Please keep your enthusiasm down, Asta. You run out of energy before we reach the Grimoire tower." Yuno pointed out in calm tone of voice.
"Hehehe. You know that Asta has lots of energy, Yuno. He won't tired out so easily." Sister Lilly said with a smile on her face as she, Father Orisi and the other children walked with Asta and Yuno as they head towards a tower that resides in Hage village.
However, the group of eight haven't realized that they are being watched by a male who is in his late teens and is wearing a dark blue jacket and black trousers. The most eye-catching piece of clothing is the robe that is grey in colour with gold trimmings along the edge and has a emblem that involves two crossed swords done in gold as well.
the mysterious male has his attention mostly on Asta.
"Welcome to the ceremony, young ones. Today for your future, you will be granted faith, hope and love!" Spoke a elderly man who is standing on a raised platform.
"I am the head of this Grimoire tower. Now then, is the future Wizard King among us? There isn't a person here who wants to become a Magic Knight for their own personal achievements. We actually have someone who wishes to be the Wizard King." The elderly man carried on his speech whilst a few members of the gathered teens made comments about Asta's and Yuno's presence.
"And now. Grimoire conferment." The elderly male announced and after a few seconds of silence, Grimoires started to fly off the thousands of bookshelves towards the group of teens.
"Come on. Come on. Where's mine." Asta thought, starting to become nervous as he heard people comparing Grimoires with each other.
Suddenly, a Grimoire that has a red cover with fire-like designs appeared in front of Asta.
On the back is a picture of a three leaf clover encased in a circle.
"Yes! I got my Grimoire, Yu-EHHHHHH!" Asta began to exclaim in joy but stop and exclaim in shock when he saw Yuno's Grimoire which has a green cover with gold details.
However, the most noticeable feature on the Grimoire is the four leaf clover.
"No way! That's a four leaf clover Grimoire. The same type that the first Wizard King used." Asta thought in his head as people started to take notice of Yuno's Grimoire and began to talk among themselves.
"I'm going to become the Wizard King." Yuno said with a emotionless tone of voice.
"Hehehe. That's my rival." Asta thought with a small smirk on his face.
It is early evening and currently Asta is staring at his new Grimoire with a silly grin on his face.
"Hehehehe. I can't believe it. My own Grimoire." Asta said in a happy tone of voice.
"Now I just train for six months until the Magic Knight's entrance exam." Asta thought before reaching for his pocket and taking out the "Brave Dragon" "book".
"Maybe I can find out more of my past during my time as a Magic Knight." Asta thought before looking up at the early evening sky.
"Just what sort of childhood did I have before losing my memories?" Asta wondered with a frown on his face.
"Hey, Asta!" A voice shouted, making the ash-white hair teen looked down to see Yuno.
"Oh. Yuno. Did you need something?" Asta asked before jumping down from the wall that he has been sitting on.
"Sister Lilly asked me to fetch you. She and the others are making a celebration dinner." Yuno explained, causing Asta to nod his head.
"Right." Asta said before starting to walk.
"Hey, Asta." Yuno said, making Asta stop walking.
"Yes, Yuno?" Asta asked, glancing over his shoulder.
"Do you remember the oath that we made to each other five years ago?" Yuno asked, causing Asta to smirk slightly.
"Of course I do. "Let find out which one of us becomes the Wizard King first", right?" Asta quoted, causing Yuno to smile.
"Heh. I thought that you might have forgotten." Yuno commented, making a small tick mark appear on Asta's forehead, even though the ash-white hair teen knew that his foster brother was only teasing him.
Even though Hage village is a poor village that resides within the Forsaken realm, there is one feature that makes it worth talking about and that is the giant skull.
The giant skull has three eyes, the third being on his forehead, and two horns protruding from the side of it's head.
Standing right above the skull's third eye is a statue of a mage carrying a four leaf clover.
Supposedly, the giant skull use to belong to a demon that would have destroyed humanity if it wasn't for the first Wizard King slaying it.
Right now, the ally of the purple-clad sword-wielder is standing underneath the skull as he opened the "Gansekiou Golem" "book", revealing a "page" with chains crossing it.
"Gansekiou Golem".
The "book" announced in a male voice before multiple books suddenly fly out of the "page" and started to pile on top of each other.
The pile of books then transformed into a humanoid figure with black skin with grey armour-like pieces. It has a large head with a stone mask for a face and two hands attached to the top of its head.
The ally of the purple-clad sword-wielder smirked before approaching the golem.
"You have been chosen to connect the worlds." The ally said as he pass a blank "book", which is white in colour, to the golem's right hand which is larger than it's left hand.
The golem grunted before opening the book.
Looking from a bird's point of view, a giant holographic book suddenly appeared before opening, covering the entirety of Hage village.
Both Asta's and Yuno's eyes widened when they felt a strange sensation and their vision blurred slightly.
"Erh." Asta thought, crouching over slightly to get his senses back to normal.
"Asta. You may want to look up." Yuno said in a stunned tone of voice.
Asta became confuse before looking up where upon his eyes widened.
"EEEEEEEEH!? What happened to the sky?!" Asta shouted in shock as he stared at the sky which was a clear blue instead of orange from the setting sun.
Not only that, but the entire landscape outside Hage village has drastically changed as well.
"….Are those…..islands floating in the sky?" Yuno asked, his eyes narrowing as he spotted islands in the sky.
"What is going on-!" Asta muttered before suddenly placing a hand on his head as a strange feeling entered him.
"Asta? Are feeling alright?" Yuno asked in a concerned tone of voice.
"Yeah. I'm fine, Yuno. It just that…I have the feeling that seen something like this before." Asta replied in a slow tone of voice, making Yuno's eyes widened slightly.
"Does this have to do with Asta's missing memories?" Yuno wondered before the two boys heard a roar.
"Eh/Huh?" Both boys said at the same time as they look up again just in time to see a wyvern flying past them.
"….Okay. The both of us did saw a wyvern flying past us?" Asta asked, making sure that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
"Yes. Yes we did." Yuno replied before starting to hear screams.
"The villagers will be in a panic." Yuno thought as he turned his attention towards the village and saw other flying creatures flying above Hage.
"Hey, Yuno. Can you feel something?" Asta asked, causing Yuno to blink his eyes in confusion before feeling a strange magic.
"Yes. I can feel it." Yuno replied as his gaze turned towards the demon skull.
"Come on. We better investigate." Asta said before running, heading towards the demon skull.
"Be careful, Asta! We don't know what's going on!" Yuno shouted as he started to run after Asta.
When the two boys reached the demon skull, they hid behind a outcrop of rock and peered behind it.
It didn't took them long to spot the Gansekiou Golem.
"What the heck is that?" Asta asked in a shock tone of voice.
"…Some sort of rock monster?" Yuno guessed, his eyes narrowed.
"Asta we need to be care-" Yuno began to say but stop when Asta suddenly step out of their hiding place.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Asta shouted, alerting the Gansekiou Golem of their presence.
"It does not matter to you." The Gansekiou Golem stated, making Asta growl in anger just as his Grimoire appeared next to him, floating in the air.
"Yes it does! This is our home." Asta said, glaring at the Gansekiou Golem.
"Hm. Once the Alter-Ride book is complete, this area will be assimilated into this world." The Gansekiou Golem explained, holding up the now known Alter-Ride book where half of it is now black.
"That object….is similar to mine!" Asta thought in surprise, his eyes widening.
"So all I need to do is grab that "book" and work out how to reverse this." Asta said before charging straight towards the Gansekiou Golem, his hand covered in flames which are enhanced thanks to his Grimiore.
"Like you can beat the likes of me." The Gansekiou Golem stated in a arrogated tone of voice before sending out the two hands, that were attached to his head, straight towards Asta.
However, the ash-white hair boy managed to doge the two flying fists before striking the Gansekiou Golem with his flamed fist.
The Gansekiou Golem grunted slightly as the fist slammed into his stomach.
"So. You managed to land a hit on me? However, your are just putting up a worthless struggle. Let me show you what the power of the Alter-Ride Books can do." The Gansekiou Golem said before opening the Alter-Ride book.
Both Asta and Yuno became tense but became confuse after a few seconds when nothing seemed to happened.
".…..Is something supposed to happen…?" Yuno thought in a confused tone of voice.
Suddenly, a shadow engulfed the three of them and Asta and Yuno look up where their eyes widened in shock.
"Gah! Hage village is going to flatten us!" Asta exclaimed in shock as half of Hage village began to fall on top of them.
However, instead of getting flattened, the land went through them and the three of them found themselves in a rocky area.
"Wha! Where are we now!" Asta shouted whilst feeling relived that they didn't gotten flattened to death.
"That doesn't concern you. Prepare to die!" The Gansekiou Golem said before making two large boulders made from the rocky terrain before sending them flying straight towards Asta.
"Asta won't be able to dodge them!" Yuno thought before activating his wind magic, creating a air current that sent Asta flying upwards just in time to avoid getting hit by the two boulders.
"Thanks, Yuno!" Asta called with a smile on his face.
"Do you think that you can escape my attack?" The Gansekiou Golem said just as the two boulders appeared right in front of Asta.
"I won't have time to move Asta!" Yuno thought, gritting his teeth in frustration.
"This is going to hurt! This is going to hurt!" Asta shouted in his head, covering his head with his arms and prepared for the impact.
However, just before the boulders could hit Asta, bright red light suddenly burst into life, destroying the boulders.
"Huh!?" Asta exclaimed in shock at the appearance of the red light as it gently place him back on the ground.
The ash-white hair boy took out the "Brave Dragon" "book" from out of his pocket and saw that the light is originating from it.
"This "book"…saved me…" Asta thought before opening the small "book" which revealed unrecognizable text on the left "page" whilst the right has a silhouette of a dragon.
Unaware by the gathered group, a large book appeared some distance away where it opened up and some of the pages flipped before the same person that was spying on Asta and the others earlier appeared.
"There they are. I got to help them." The male thought as his Grimiore, which is blue in colour with wave-like designs and a symbol of a slightly open book rather than a clover, opened and began to flip through it's pages.
"There once was a mythical creature with the power to obliterate anything in it's path."
The "book" suddenly announced in a male voice, making both Asta and Yuno surprised and stopping the mysterious man.
"It can't be…" The mysterious man thought, his eyes widening.
Just then, the "Brave Dragon" "book" suddenly lit up and a pillar of fire shot up into the sky which too the form of a dragon, the same that's on the cover.
The dragon roared before diving straight down to the ground which cause a explosion.
When the dust died down, everyone saw a stone sword embedded in front of Asta.
"A…sword?" Asta thought in confusion before slowly approaching the sword.
"Asta! What are you doing?" Yuno asked, starting to become tense.
However, Asta didn't say anything as he grab the hilt of the sword.
Pain started to spread throughout Asta's body as the sword became very hot and flames danced around him.
"Hahahaha! You better give me that Wonder-Ride book or die a pointless death!" The Gansekiou Golem said, causing Yuno to raise a eyebrow.
"Wonder-Ride book? Is he referring to that "Brave Dragon" "book"?" Yuno thought in confusion.
"No way. If this sword can grant me the power to defeat you. Then this pain is nothing!" Asta said through gritted teeth and after a few minutes of agonizing pain, along with his clothes getting burned by the flames, managed to pull the sword out of the ground and held it high in the air.
"He managed to pull it out!"The mysterious male said in a shock tone of voice.
Just then, the flames that have been dancing around Asta suddenly got absorb into the sword, causing it to become bright and Asta closed his eyes.
When the light died down and Asta opened his eyes, he saw that the sword has transformed into some sort of sheath with three slots and writing inside and below them, with the bottom letters encased in gold strips. A small sword was also present that has a silver handle and a red guard.
"That's the same sword that women wielded when she protected me..." Asta thought as he stared at the sheath and the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book, sensing that the two worked together.
Asta's hand moved, placing the sheath against his waist where upon a red belt appeared, securing the sheath in place.
Seiken Sword-driver!
The now known Seiken Sword-driver announced.
"It doesn't matter what you are planning. We will achieve victory." The Gansekiou Golem stated in a reassuring tone of voice.
"Really? And who decided that?" Asta asked in a rhetorical tone of voice before placing the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book into the right-hand slot.
A standby sound suddenly played and a giant version of the "Brave Dragon" Wonder Ride book appeared behind Asta.
"What is going on…..?" Yuno thought, starting to become concerned as he, the Gansekiou Golem and the mysterious man watch Asta place a hand on the sword's hilt.
The ash-white hair boy removed the sword in a quick motion.
Unsheathe the Flames!
The Seiken Sword-drive announced and both "Brave Dragon" Wonder Ride Books opened, revealing the upper-body, head and right arm of a armored person.
Asta then made a x slash with the sword which has increased in size.
~Brave Dragon~
Rekka: Volume 1-When the brave dragon and Rekka, the sword of flames, unite, the crimson blade shall pierce all that is evil.
The driver announced just as a red mechanical dragon came out of the "pages" and spun around Asta before merging with him, giving him a new look.
The ash-white hair teen is now wearing armor where the left side is black, the center is white, and the right is red where a trench-coat like piece covers his leg and a red dragon head with yellow eyes rest on his right shoulder. The belt now have two objects that look like they are design to hold objects on the right and left side of his waist, the left holder being slightly different to the right holder. The helmet is split into three colours with the bottom right being red, the bottom left being black and the forehead piece being white where a silver blade is protruding like a horn. The x slash that Asta made placed itself onto the helmet, transforming into fiery eye-pieces.
"As…ta?" Yuno muttered quietly with a shock expression on his face as he stared at the now transformed Asta.
" is this.…..me?….So cool!" Asta exclaimed in his head before focusing his attention on his sword.
"Rekka, the sword of flames huh? Nice to meet you." Asta said with a small smile on his face before turning attention towards the Gansekiou Golem.
"Right! Ready for round two?" Asta asked before charging towards the Gansekiou Golem who fired it's second pair of hands straight at him.
Luckily, Asta battered the stone fists away and closed the gap between them before swinging Rekka.
The Gansekiou Golem raised his arms to block the attack, but Asta kicked it in the stomach, knocking the golem backwards.
The Gansekiou Golem managed to stop itself from stumbling backwards before using it's magic to make the rocks on the ground float.
The Gansekiou Golem then formed the rocks into two curved arch-like structures before sending flying straight towards Asta.
The armor-clad teen brought Rekka up horizontally and block the attacks but had to hold his ground to avoid getting push back.
"I'm not done yet!" Asta exclaimed before igniting Rekka with his newly enhanced flame magic put more strength into his arms.
It didn't took long for the stone arches to break, making Asta smirk slightly before getting close to the Gansekiou Golem again and started to attack. The Gansekiou Golem grunted in pain as the sword swings managed to hit him.
The golem-like monster attempted to swing it's right arm at Asta, but the armor-clad teen managed to avoid the attack.
"Grrr. Take this!" The Gansekiou Golem shouted before using it's magic to wrench rocks out of the ground and send them flying straight towards Asta.
"Whoah!" The armor-clad teen exclaimed as he jumped backwards as he avoid the crashing rocks as well as swinging Rekka.
A strong gust of wind suddenly appeared, blowing the rocks away.
"Thanks, Yuno!" Asta called, glancing over his shoulder.
"Don't interfere." The Gansekiou Golem said before firing his second pair of hands towards Yuno.
"No you don't!" Asta exclaimed before jumping in front of Yuno and prepared to bat the stone fists away like he did earlier.
Asta swing Rekka, attempting to knock the stone fists away, but the stone fists clamped down on the sword instead.
"H-hey! Let go will you!" Asta shouted whilst keeping a tight of Rekka as the stone fists seemed eager to fly away with the sword.
With a almighty swing, Asta managed to knock the stone fists off Rekka, even managing to sent them flying back to their owner.
"Gah!" The Gansekiou Golem exclaimed as the stone fists punched him in the stomach.
"All Right!" Asta cheered whilst Yuno smiled slightly.
"Don't get a big head. This battle isn't over." The Gansekiou Golem said as it stood up before activating it's magic, causing rocks to float into the air.
However, instead of sending flying towards the two boys, the rocks flew straight towards the Gansekiou Golem.
Asta and Yuno watched what was happening in front of them.
"That…..can't be right…..can it?" Asta asked, scratching the back of his helmet.
"...I don't know." Yuno responded with a blank expression of his face as the two boy stared at the very enlarged Gansekiou Golem.
"Don't bother fighting. You cannot stop what's happening around you." The Gansekiou Golem said before raising a foot and attempting to stomp Asta and Yuno.
Luckily the two boys rolled out of the way.
The Gansekiou Golem continued to attack the two boys with it's magic, but both Asta and Yuno managed to avoid or block it's attack.
When the Gansekiou Golem stopped it's barrage of attacks, Asta started to smirk.
"Heh. Are sure about us not stopping this?" Asta asked, causing the Gansekiou Golem to grunt in confusion.
"We are the ones we will decide the ending of the story." Asta said before replacing Rekka, which somehow shrank, back into the Seiken Sword-driver and pressing the trigger that is on the hilt, just below the guard.
Final page!
The driver announced and Asta unsheathed Rekka again.
Unsheathe the flames: Dragon! Volume one slash-Fire!
The Driver announced and flames started to gather around Rekka's blade whilst Asta prepared his attack.
"Flaming cross slash!" Asta shouted before charging towards the Gansekiou Golem, joined by the same red mechanical dragon that aided in his transformation that appeared from somewhere.
The Gansekiou Golem attempted to flatten Asta with his fist, but the armor-clad teen was quicker, jumping into the air and attacking with Rekka.
However, instead of landing on the ground, the red mechanical dragon got in front of Asta where upon he jumped off the dragon and attack the Gansekiou Golem again.
Yuno watched as Asta repeatedly attack the Gansekiou Golem, going in a spiral movement upwards before dealing the final blow which engulfed the golem in a explosion.
As Asta landed on the ground, whilst stumbling slightly, he glance behind him to see that the Gansekiou Golem is gone.
"Hm. Not bad for someone who wielded a Holy Sword for the first time." The mysterious man thought, smiling slightly.
"Good job, Asta." Yuno said as he walked up to the armor-clad teen.
"Yep. I sure did." Asta said just before the two of them saw reality blurring.
"It looks like that everything is going back to normal." Asta commented just as the removed Hage village disappeared and returned to it's original location.
However, the two boys didn't realized that the entire battle was watched by the purple-clad sword-wielder and the three others through a orb.
"As long the worlds are connected, we can still rewrite the book's continuation." The brown highlighted man commented as he looked at a string controlled hand that was writing letters in a book until it was stopped by the destruction of the Alter-Ride book.
The other two, one having blue highlights in his hair whilst the other has red highlights, have smirks on their faces.
"So. The missing swordsmen of flames has returned. The other swordsmen will most likely start to make their move." The purple-clad sword-wielder mused as he go deep in thought.
When Asta and Yuno got back to the church, they got bombarded with questions from Father Orsi about where they where during the crisis whilst Sister Lilly tried to calm the priest down before healing Asta's wounds.
When Father Orsi did managed to calm down, Asta and Yuno told them what happened to them during the crisis.
It was safe to say that both Sister Lilly and Father Orsi are shock.
"That "book" of yours gave you armor and you wielded a sword to slay a monster!?" Father Orsi exclaimed, making Asta jump.
"Y-yeah. That's pretty much what happened." Asta replied in a sheepish tone of voice.
"What ever that thing was, it said that "book" is called a Wonder-Ride book and seemed pretty keen on getting its hands on it." Yuno commented, causing Sister Lilly to gain a worried expression on her face.
"Do you think that maybe more monsters will likely come after Asta?" Sister Lilly asked in a worried tone of voice.
"There's no need to worry. Asta is capable of handing himself. Plus Yuno will be with him." Father Orsi said, placing a hand on Sister Lilly's shoulder.
"Unless we in different squads." Yuno said simply, yet also feeling slightly worried.
"Asta?" Sister Lilly asked, noticing that the ash-white hair boy has became quiet.
"Hm?" Asta responded, looking up from the Seiken Sword-driver, which the ash-white hair teen can store into his Grimoire.
"Are you feeling okay?" Sister Lilly asked in a concerned tone of voice.
"Y-yes. I just been thinking….." Asta replied, causing the other three people in the room to glance at each other.
"Do you want to discuss it with us?" Father Orsi asked, becoming serious.
"It just that…this is the same sword that the female sword-wielder in my dream used to protect me." Asta explained, making Yuno, Sister Lilly and Father Orsi surprise.
"R-really?!" Father Orsi asked, making Asta nod his head.
"…..Do you think that maybe that this is some sort of calling?" Sister Lilly asked before silence filled the room.
"Asta." A voice suddenly spoke, causing Asta, Yuno, Sister Lilly and Father Orsi to jump in shock before turning around to see the mysterious man standing by the doorway.
"My name is Rintaro Shindo. We need to talk." The mysterious man introduce himself.
And there we have it for the first chapter. As you can see, I made some changes such as the previous Saber being a different person than Daichi Kamijo and Asta wielding magic in this story. I'm planning on introducing new Wonder-Ride books into the story, mainly those of the God Beast and Animal categories. If anyone have their own ideas for Wonder-Ride books, then send in your ideas, such as the colour of book, the title, story announcement and standalone transformation sound when used in the Seiken Sword-driver (Please note that the standalone transformation sound will only be a added feature and will unlikely be heard in the story). I would like these ideas to come through private messaging. Please review and until next time.
