Hi everyone Azza here!
Lucifer 999 Morningstar – I can't because in the Naruto verse at this point in time Kurama isn't working with Naruto yet but there will be Naruto stuff in the future though not exactly in this story …
DragneelX17 – The way I interpret the relationship between Natsu and Seilah is basically Natsu is the Master and Seilah is basically the Secretary/Advisor/Loyal Friend/The One That Takes Out The Trash When Master Desires etc haha I'd planned for that the moment I'd gotten an idea of how I was going to work E.N.D.
Her role will eventually evolve into one of an MC starting in the sequel but that's heading into spoiler territory.
Anyway on with the chapter!
I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.
A Dragon Loves Gemstones
/Natsu's POV/
The light was blinding as Natsu waited patiently for it to die down, as the light slowly faded and reality began to come into focus. What awaited him was a ruined battlefield that had been completely reshaped by the horrific blast that had been partially his doing.
Pushing the sense of guilt at any potential allies he may have inadvertently killed he chose to instead believe that the Omega Weapon would have killed countless people had he not chosen to counter with his own attack.
The Omega Weapon was also relatively unharmed as it hovered high above the battlefield seemingly surveying the destruction wrought by the attacks, Natsu growled but soon stopped as slowly soldiers began to trickle out of trenches and bunkers seemingly recovering from what had just occurred.
Looking to his right Natsu saw Ban regenerating next to the now dead Leo who clearly was held down and forced to endure the brunt of the blast by Ban who was cursing the attack for not being able to kill him despite how powerful it was, Seras and Seilah appeared on top of his head as Natsu took flight with Seras enlarging her shadowy arm and punching him in the head.
"What the hell was the big idea Natsu you could've killed us all you jerk don't our lives mean anything to you!"
"And I suppose you had a counter for Omega's attack Seras?"
"Well … no but-!"
"Even if Master didn't attack the damage from the spell the Omega Weapon cast would have been catastrophic so attempting a counter was the logical solution," Seilah said calmly as Natsu flew across the battlefield before flying up to the same height as Omega.
"You girls will be in danger here if you stay on me so perhaps you should go and do what I said before?"
"Yeah because that worked out great before didn't it," Seras huffed as Natsu snorted in amusement.
"Fine but if you fall off or end up inside one of its mouths don't blame me or ask me to get you out … Police Girl."
Seras' eye twitched as she began punching his head with renewed vigour all the while crying comically about the unfairness of eternal nicknames and Alucard's bullshit, Seilah chose to agree to Natsu's idea as she moved towards his eye.
"I shall go check up on Mistress Erza and Wendy Master and will let you know their current condition."
"Thank you Seilah, sorry you'll have to jump I'm afraid it looks like Omega is getting ready to fight again."
True enough as Seilah looked over the Omega Weapon which was dormant had begun to move as she decided to make her exit by jumping off his head and into the battlefield with Natsu's Dragon form beginning to shift.
"Oi what are you doing this time!"
"I'm not just a Dragon Seras this is but one form I can take thanks to what I hold and it is time I show Alvarez that I am to be feared just as much as they fear Zeref!"
"But you aren't going to kick me off right because that's a long fall down?"
"If you don't want to fall then stay still," Natsu said as the tendrils began to envelop him once more with Seras trapped inside as the egg returned cracking not a few moments later to reveal … a mass of black tendrils?
The heap fell from the sky landing unceremoniously in a heap writhing around and slowly forming into Natsu himself however this Natsu was different, the eyes were the same Crimson Red and Galaxy Blue however the rest of his body which was seemingly evolving had made him several inches taller with his normal clothes replaced with a suit that was half black half white with a torn Crimson Red and Galaxy Blue overcoat not too different from the one Alucard wore with his hair black with slight tufts of white clearly visible.
Adjusting his white and black gloves Natsu opened the first few buttons exposing his neck and the top part of his chest as he placed a hand on his upper chest opening it like a door, reaching inside he pulled out a shrunken Seras holding her in the outstretched palm of his hand.
"You are unharmed as promised."
Seras slowly grew to her full size remaining in Natsu's hand as she stared at him completely gobsmacked, his plan on beating this massive weapon was to become smaller and change clothes?
"You doubt me Seras but I do not blame you for you know not what I am, even now I continue to evolve at a rapid pace and I now understand the plan of my brother in its entirety. By summoning the Omega Weapon in the hopes that I would use everything I had he figured I would use my Dragon form granted to me by Igneel which would lead to drawing Achnologia's attention, by fighting an opponent as strong as the Omega Weapon and absorbing its power it set off a chain reaction within my aura and magic that cannot be stopped."
Looking at him Seras noticed he did seem rather different everything about him now screamed duality with an air of calm and control within him, his entire personality too had taken a shift with it now being one of dare she say hyper intelligence.
"This is the fate of the Hybrid Seras to forever walk the path of Light vs Dark, Life vs Death, Good vs Evil, Black vs White, Red vs Blue and all other half signs and half truths. I see clearer than I have ever seen and yet I see nothing because I am blind all the same," Natsu said as he looked past Seras to see Zeref standing there smiling.
"It's him!"
Natsu ignored her as he began walking towards him each step turning the sand into glass from the heat surrounding him.
"I am the darkest night, I am the brightest sun. I am the hand of the Gods, the darkness of Xion. Babylon unending I am the everlasting constant, the darkest moment of the dying world eternity unending! Finality within eos the dual conundrum within the puzzle of the infinite plane and the counterbalance to those of Anti! The gatekeeper at the beginning of all things, defender of the last breath of the ancients I am-!"
"Hybrid," both Natsu and Zeref said in unision as they stood mere inches from each other both staring into each other's eyes.
"You have polluted my brother for long enough Ahnkseram you need not interfere here."
"And why not when you have finally discovered what I did long ago, how's it feel on the old brain to know your fate was written before fate itself was written, mortal beings don't deserve our aid and neither do the immortals you see it too you must! Take the Vampire Girl behind you threaten the King and she would turn on every last moral and person solely for him, they ask for salvation from the Anti yet partake in the most primal of sins!"
"The story of Seras Victoria is just that Ahnkseram, her story. We can choose to gaze upon them from a third person perspective but nothing more, we are not the ones who can experience their thoughts, feelings and emotions for we are not they and are not mortal therefore we cannot comprehend how they rationalize their behaviour. Therefore as ordained by the One Above All since all came to be we are all given a chance to choose, the beauty of choice is what defines all things after all."
"How can you choose to defend those who would never lift a finger for you in return, the Anti is not a threat worth saving the Gods, Devils or mortals from let it consume everything for this perverse existence isn't one worth keeping around!"
"I choose to defend the mortals Ahnkseram because there are indeed those who would lift the metaphorical finger, the Lady Draculina behind me is here right now is she not lifting the proverbial finger and happy to do so."
"Only on the orders of her Master-!"
"Incorrect for I helped them once catch a man who wronged them in turn gaining friends, you see Ahnkseram that is another concept you fail to understand the concept of friendship. Indeed it is a fragile, fickle thing and yet even at the darkest of times its light can illuminate even the most dire of situations. Alucard wanted to be here as well as many other friends who want to be here or want to send help however there must be a semblance of order which is already being disturbed enough as it is and I understand that because I know that the thoughts of my friends are with me."
"Your friends … you cannot be serious Dragneel you think some sort of mystical friendship power will give you the ability to prevail!"
"No I don't believe in such nonsense Ahnkseram however I believe that friendship can indeed have its role, to have something or someone to fight for is something that can topple nations and overthrow dynasties no matter the age, technology or even race. You should be able to see the infinite worlds and how true that statement is that no matter where you look the mortals truly are selfless for the most part and in deserving of our aid."
"It seems you fail to see the truth even after everything you've been through, all the anger, pain and hatred you've endured with even your own family turning against you the moment you were outed to be a Demon you truly believe they are worth such monstrous effort!"
"You have gone so long through the madness that you wouldn't understand Ahnkseram and deep down you know that, playing games with the lives of mortals for centuries all for it to culminate into this just to tell me that mortals are bad and to ignore their plight would never have worked. From day one you could see this very moment and yet you did it anyway so tell me in your divine wisdom who is really more deserving of my time and effort the mortals who 99.99% of them I've never had any real interaction with or you who has done countless sins against myself and literally anyone with any remote connection to me?"
Natsu didn't even raise an eyebrow as Ahnkseram began to smirk before breaking out in a fit of laughter.
"Yes that's exactly what I wanted to hear from you Dragneel you truly are getting closer, soon you'll be ready for me but for now you have business to attend to!"
With that he vanished leaving behind Natsu who just sighed and a completely confused Seras.
"Natsu what did he mean and how do you know my past?"
"I can see it Seras but I won't claim to know your past because as I said to him I'm not you, I wasn't friends with the mercenary who sacrificed himself in the Hellsing Mansion who now resides as your shadow, I know not the pain you felt as The Major pried your unborn child from your womb sucking its birthright from its unborn body and using it to fuel his own sick desires I know nothing of such pain because that is your story. The story of Seras Victoria is your story that only you can tell, pray that you figure out how to tell it right."
"Y-you know what he did-!"
"Yes I can see it, had I known what he did then I doubt there would have been a prisoner to drag back to those dungeons as he would be smeared across a few hundred miles of land, all I can do is offer my condolences for your loss if such a thing ever happened to Erza I-I don't want to think of the lengths I'd go."
Seras remained quiet and simply nodded her head in silent thanks as she let a few tears fall, Natsu however looked straight up at the Omega Weapon which had remained oddly still for the duration of Ahnkseram's presence but was now bee lining towards Natsu.
"Seras go have some fun with the soldiers I'll deal with the Omega Weapon."
"Are you sure?"
"As I said I am ever evolving with my power ever increasing where it will stop I know not where, go crush some foolish soldiers and if you're lucky you'll run into one of the Spriggan or Leichart to fight."
The Omega Weapon landed in front of Natsu kicking up dirt and debris as Natsu turned to face it his body twitching every now and then.
"Oh and one more thing … you aren't just the Police Girl you've proven enough to him, your eyes may be blind but you already stand beside him not at his back."
Seras' eyes widened as Natsu began walking away towards the Omega Weapon which was beginning to create magic circles before nodding stiffly.
"Thank you Natsu," she said softly before fading into the shadows as Natsu summoned one white and one black magic circle in each hand.
"Right let's see about that round two huh?"
/Erza's POV/
Meanwhile across the battlefield the battle was slowly beginning around Erza once more however Maya and her Knights of Crystalline were almost terrified of Natsu's power which hadn't ceased to wash over the battlefield.
"Wh-what is this pressure it feels almost identical to the Emperor's!"
"That is my husband finding out what Zeref did to Mavis," Erza said smugly as Maya's eyes locked onto Erza's own with a fierce glare.
"How dare you speak his name and in such a vulgar manner, you believe I will allow you to live after all this if so you are truly a foolish girl!"
"I'm not exactly young anymore but neither am I old so you can drop the girl part, my husband is more than enough to handle Zeref I've learned to trust in his power!"
"Yeah Salamander always comes through he ain't gonna die to a chump like him," Gajeel said with a smirk as Makarov nodded in agreement.
"Indeed we place our faith in him just as you place yours in Zeref, you know everyone on this battlefield thinks the same so trying to argue it is pointless."
Maya smiled before giggling lightly to herself as she summoned large throne made of diamond and sat upon it looking down at the trio.
"Begin construction my faithful knights so that we may smite these foolish humans and send their souls screaming to the blackness of the abyss!"
The Knights of Crystalline all began to form up around the throne encasing themselves in their respective element as the throne began to seemingly morph and rise upward as the different coloured gems began fusing together with Maya at the head.
"Heh this should be good," Gajeel said with a feral grin as a large colossus made of a fusion of gemstones rose up standing at over thirty feet tall looking down upon them.
"Quake in fear humans and bow before the Crystalline Throne!"
A crown of diamond appeared on the colossus' head with a gemstone representing each Knight appearing in it shining beautifully as the colossus raised its mighty fist.
"Crystalline Impact!"
Punching the ground all sorts of crystals began to shoot out of the ground forcing Erza, Gajeel and Makarov to go on the defensive as they ran to outrun its advance.
"Giant Magic: Full Body!"
Makarov began to grow into his giant form running towards Maya and punching the colossus in the face knocking it back slightly, the colossus returned the punch as both it and Makarov locked hands cracking the ground beneath them as each struggled for dominance.
"Requip: Darklight Armor!"
As Erza requiped Erza raised her shield with Makarov redirecting Maya's hands towards her, the hands curled into fists as they hit the shield however to her surprise Erza was only being pushed back slightly despite the amount of force behind the blow.
"Counterpoint!"
With her lance Erza hit the colossus' fist with all its power doubled being sent back through the fist blowing the colossus back knocking it onto its back sending shards out in all directions forcing Erza to requip.
The arm Erza hit was completely shattered and the Knight within, the Emerald Knight, was killed as a result as Maya became enraged.
"You dare kill one of my faithful YOU SHALL DIE!"
The arm was replaced by diamond as the colossus rose to its feet and summoned many different coloured magic circles in front of it as they began to spin until they formed one large glowing white one.
"Burn into nothing," she screeched as a large diamond appeared in front of the magic circle with a beam of light beginning to appear behind it. "Crystal Make: Purifier Beam!"
Using the diamond as a focusing stone the blasts power was amplified as a bright beam went through scorching everything in its path tearing past the trio and ripping through the battlefield.
"As powerful as that was what were you trying to accomplish," Erza asked as Maya seemed to only get angrier.
"I won't let you humans screw with me, NOT AGAIN!"
All around them a large dome made from gemstone appeared sealing them inside as magic circles began to appear all over the surface varying in colour as thousands of razor sharp gemstones began to fire out of them.
"Behind me, Requip: Adamantine Armor!"
Smashing the two shields together with Makarov and Gajeel falling in behind her a massive protective magic circle appeared in front of her as Erza began to endure what was a seemingly endless barrage of gemstone as she spun around deflecting the attacks as fast as she could.
"We don't have long something must be done," Makarov growled as a spike pierced through his shoulder.
"Leave it to me old man but I'll need that gem there," Gajeel said as Makarov ripped it out of his shoulder.
"What are you going to do my boy?"
"Something reckless just like Salamander would do," he said as he bit down on the multi coloured gem consuming it much to Makarov's shock. "Damn this is gonna hurt after …"
Gajeel stepped out from cover and began to take spikes through his entire body however they were being absorbed by his metallic skin with his scales seemingly repairing themselves.
"Master what is that idiot doing he'll be killed!"
"YES FALL BEFORE THE CRYSTALLINE THRONE!"
The attacks suddenly stopped however when Maya laid eyes upon Gajeel, his metallic scales were now beginning to shimmer as a coating of blood began to wash over it hardening and becoming the same rainbow coloured gemstone colour as the ones he had just eaten and absorbed into himself.
"By the Gods boy … I didn't think any other Dragon Slayer could pull it off," Makarov said eyes wide in shock.
Gajeel was on all fours with his usually metallic skin now blurred by an overcoat of gemstone, his hair had been turned into the same gemstone and was clearly razor sharp to the touch, his eyes were the same rainbow colouring as his hair and outer coating as a rainbow aura burst to life with his magic power skyrocketing.
"Impossible he actually absorbed the combined magic of a Unison Raid between five people that level of power had to have come from every shard that entered his body!"
"Man this brings a whole new meaning to the term 'loaded with cash' I've gotta be worth a fortune," Gajeel said with a grin his teeth shining in the moonlight. "Metallic Gemstone Dragon Mode!"
"How on earth did you figure that would work Gajeel," Makarov asked still reeling from what was before him as Gajeel grinned.
"I've seen Salamander do it heaps of times but always assumed it was because of the Demon power within him, the last few years I got talkin with Mettalicana though and he told me it was possible but still a one in a million shot of it working. Think about it like this gramps both Metal and Gemstones are derived from the earth and complement one another perfectly so what else was gonna have a better chance of succeeding?"
"That has to be one of the most impressive displays I've ever seen Gajeel," Makarov said sincerely as Gajeel slowly got up from all fours hunching over due to the weight of the stones.
"I can handle this one go help the others or better yet go kick the shit out of Salamander for dropping city level attacks on everyone and if you see the shrimp out there tell her … ah fuck it you know the sob story now GET GOIN!"
Outstretching his arms Gajeel made a ripping motion downward tearing a hole through the dome as both Erza and Makarov took one last look at Gajeel before going on ahead.
"You foolish human even with the power you absorbed do you believe you stand a chance against a perfect Unision Raid as the Crystalline Throne?"
"As I am now probably not … but if I get real reckless well, well maybe I just might have a shot."
The metal underneath the gem coating began to pulse as Gajeel dropped to all fours again with various metals such as unrefined gold, platinum and steel from the various weapons scattered around the area all flying towards him and moulding around him.
"One thing Salamander should have taught you bastards was we Dragon Slayers defy logic and reason, fuck with us and you get fucked! Metallic Gemstone Dragon Force!"
The metals began to solidify as a strange armor around Gajeel leaving his hair, fangs, hands and feet free whilst covering the rest of his body with various gemstones embedding themselves in the armor.
"When I lost to Salamander all those years ago he could have killed me but he told me to strive for something greater, not only that he put me on the path to growing stronger when he could have just as easily left me to flounder at my pathetic level of power. He trusted in me knowing that one day I'd use this power just like he would, YOU WANNA CONQUER FIORE THEN WHY DON'T YOU TRY CONQUERING ME YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
The remainder of the metal had formed into large wings dense enough to lift him off the ground despite his current weight as he hovered face to face with Maya who was seething with rage.
"Who are you … to speak to royalty in such a way, a filthy human no less! YOU MUST BE PURGED FROM THE IDEAL WORLD!"
"COME TRY," Gajeel roared as Maya cocked back her fist with Gajeel racing forward with shocking speed as the two made impact creating a large shockwave that shattered the dome around them making the fight spill out onto the rest of the battlefield as razor sharp gems and metals rained down onto the soldiers below.
"Mettalic Gemstone Dragon King's Razor Rain!"
Turning his arms into what appeared to be small missile silos with the metal morphing to the perfect shape Gajeel began to fire the same spikes Maya had fired earlier however these were also backed by heated metal as they crashed into the colossus setting off small explosions knocking it back.
Maya countered by firing massive shards of diamond at Gajeel who began darting around them grabbing the last one with his teeth and throwing it back not doing much damage but taking pride in the fact that he simply could do so.
"Gem Make: Rainbow Road!"
All around Gajeel hundreds of magic circles began to appear as he was battered with all sorts of gems being led along what appeared to be a road being hit with a powerful punch at the end smashing him into the ground.
"Gem Make: Diamond Rain!"
Gajeel had just dragged himself out of the crater as he was smashed with a stream of diamonds that cut at his body making him grit his teeth as he began to gather magic within his chest.
"Mettallic Gemstone Dragon King's Roar!"
The attack took form of a large tornado with all manner of gemstones and metals spinning around in a circle that hit the head of the colossus knocking it down due to the force and damaging power behind it.
Not wasting a second Gajeel was upon the downed colossus taking a bite out of the head receiving a diamond encrusted punch to the face as Maya emerged from the downed colossus.
"To me my Knights!"
The Knights of Crystalline that survived emerged from the downed colossus taking up defensive stances in front of their Queen as Gajeel smirked.
"More join this little party huh, nice."
"You are in no position to win Dragon Slayer even now you would be slowly dying of blood loss … unless you haven't noticed?"
"Noticed what," Gajeel asked as Maya motioned to his arm as Gajeel noticed it had been severed off. "Heh now that makes this personal damn bitch …"
With increased speed Gajeel cleared the distance between the group sinking his gemstone teeth into one of the Knights killing them instantly as he tore their throat out, the other Knights sprung into action attempting to and succeeding in stabbing Gajeel in the back however his hair fired out a lightning fast barrage of spikes too quick for them to dodge as they were left to simply stagger backwards the barrage so fast their bodies were unable to hit the floor before it was over.
"And now for you …"
"What are you Dragon Slayers," Maya gasped in shock as Gajeel despite the heavy weight stood up on two feet and began taking slow, menacing steps towards her.
"We are the greatest warriors, the thrill of battle in the end means all to us even Wendy," he said as his skin began to release steam as his eyes took on a more bloodthirsty appearance. "You think taking my arm is gonna stop me from taking my prey, nah you can have that but in exchange I'll have your life!"
"Wh-why does your power grow yet again!"
"Heh it's a neat trick both Dragons and their Slayers have called the Dragons Fury, some Dragon Slayers like me or Salamander have some control over it since we know of the origins of our rage but others like Wendy still can't do it. You wanna know what makes me so very very mad? When people like you act like your superior to others always acting like we're beneath you, all my life people belittled me and talked down to me until I joined Fairy Tail acting as if my power was nothing, as if I'd never earned the right to use it! Well guess I'll get the last laugh now huh," he chuckled darkly as his arm turned into a golden chainsaw with sharp diamonds as the blades.
"N-no I won't let you win this was supposed to be my battle to win not yours!"
"Heh you were the one who wanted the battle, shame I turned it into a war. I've got people who are counting on me to protect this country," Gajeel said as his thought shifted to Levy who gave him a warm smile. "I'll kill everything to protect those smiles even if it means my life!"
"Then your life I shall take," Maya roared as she began creating a large diamond construct. "You like Dragons so much then let us see you slay one then, Diamond Make: Great Dragon!"
Gajeel smirked as the gem Dragon appeared before him as he cocked back his one arm in excitement.
"This attack will end it all, Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Raging Earth – Great Mineral Harvest!"
The massive construct Maya had summoned froze as it began to slowly turn into dust before her shocked eyes.
"What have you done!"
"All metals and gemstone come from the earth being it's greatest gift, now you too will join it as part of the gift."
Maya looked down and saw her legs were beginning to slowly dissolve as she screamed in fear watching as he body was slowly consumed by the sand beneath her before looking at Gajeel with absolute hatred and rage.
"Let the earth decide your fate."
Maya couldn't scream as he mind slowly left her with Gajeel slowly exiting the Dragon Force with the various metals and gemstones melting away as he collapsed into a pool of his own blood.
"Never been one … for authority anyway," he sighed as he passed into unconsciousness.
/Elise's POV/
Where every other fight across the battlefield had ceased the fight between Elise and Yasmin did not, Elise was almost desensitized from Natsu's antics enough not to marvel at them for more than a few moments after all she understood the true scope of what power was being tossed around the battlefield and knew the situation was in good hands.
Also Elise was currently having her head repeatedly smashed in with Yasmin's claymore like a jackhammer as her head was drilled into the earth, the attack ceased giving Elise the moment she needed to kick Yasmin off of her as she dragged what was left of her face out of the hole it was in only to sigh.
"Because one wasn't enough," she sighed as her face began to regenerate.
"I've been looking for you God Slayer I owe you some payback for Scarlione," came the Demonic voice of Dimaria Yesta in her Demonic form.
"Well as you can see I'm a little preoccupied go fight someone else!"
"This is a war little God Slayer you don't get to pick and choose your opponents, now die!"
Elise ducked as Dimaria appeared overhead and was forced to roll out of the way of another claymore courtesy of Yazmin who had returned from wherever Elise's kick had sent her.
"Great a Leichart and a Spriggan because my luck couldn't get any worse …"
"Oh don't worry little God Slayer it can," Dimaria taunted as from the smoke Elise saw the face of a man she had not seen since her childhood a man she had long since buried in her heart.
"G-Gentou …"
"You have grown well Elise," the old man said with a smile that was straight from her memory that brought her to tears.
"I don't understand you were murdered years ago how can this be, your presence here cannot be real but these eyes do not lie!"
"Oh his presence is very much real little God Slayer and it is all thanks to one of our Spriggan 12, a little spell called Historia of the Dead dives into the hearts and minds of everyone and resurrects their loved ones to fight against them. The ultimate mental and physical spell to use against scum like you!"
"You would use the memories of our loved ones against us too, does Alvarez have no level it won't stoop to!"
"It is alright Elise I know how you must feel with this situation but I know you will do fine, you have grown into a strong young woman no longer the sickly reserved child you once were. My time ended long ago but you must push on and fight for whatever you believe in remember what I taught you?"
"To fight for my friends and family above all else," Elise sniffed as Gentou smiled with his cracked skin beginning to sparkle.
"The magic is compelling me to fight Elise but before we do tell me did you find the answer to the sword?"
"Yes … I was the chosen of the Goddess of War Eliza," Elise sniffed as she wiped a few tears away. "I went through a lot and made some really great friends, there's this guy Natsu he's like my big brother who beats up everyone who messes with us and his wife Erza my rival and their adopted daughter Wendy a really nice woman I'm sure you'd like her and-!"
Gentou smiled as Elise tried to convey year's worth of content into a few minutes until he felt the tugging of the magic moving him forward.
"Elise that's enough," Gentou said sharply as Elise nodded quickly. "Send me back to the afterlife and live well child, show me how much you've grown!"
Elise summoned the same Ebony Sword from that day as Gentou's eyes widened a she assumed a different stance.
"I will Gentou!"
"This is me in my prime Elise remember the stories and may my re death be swift."
Elise nodded as the two crossed blades with Dimaria seeming highly amused by Elise's emotional turmoil and Yazmin seeming angry that her foe was now occupied.
"No one said we couldn't gang up on her you know," Dimaria said slyly as Yazmin grinned ferally before launching herself into the air and tossing a claymore at Elise who deflected it with Dimaria rushing forward with a savage grin on her face.
Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you all for the big triple digit chapter!
