Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

11. Similarity Between Two People

Roooaaaarr!!!!!

The roar of the Holy Demonic Class dragon rang to the ears of Alan who was dying after being defeated by Laila.

He wasn't seriously injured, but he didn't care much or plan to recuperate and continued to lie on the mall floor. For him his efforts have been achieved. There is no reason to fight anymore.

"Fufu fu, I didn't expect him to actually be able to obtain the Holy Demonic Class dragon that he promised..guh!!"

His mouth was bleeding, but he could still smile.

Alan still didn't know who 'he' was, but the guy actually gave his promise. Maybe he's being used, but Alan doesn't care.

The fight may not be remembered, but from today the world will change.

"Ha ha Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

He laughed contentedly.

"Shadow, I hope you've managed to get that thing, otherwise, I'll curse you to hell."

Alan's smile disappeared. He now showed a serious expression.

It was the expression of someone preparing to die. Alan then took the box object in the pocket covered with his armor. It was no ordinary box, it was a bomb trigger he had installed on the 1st floor of Sirei mall. Unlike the other bombs, he put them in a hidden place so that no one would know.

Yep. From the beginning the escape plan never existed. That is why Alan did not hesitate to order his men to destroy the elevator and stairs. As long as they could distract the Knight and summon the Holy Demonic Class dragon, then their mission was already a success.

"...with this it is all over."

He smiled again.

He would detonate a Mana Bomb that had an explosive power 10 times stronger than a normal bomb. He will die along with the rest of the Knights in the mall and his friends.

With his thumb, Alan started to press the trigger that was in his hand.

He closed his eyes with a smile as he did that, but before his thumb pressed on the trigger, he heard a voice.

Criinnnngg!

It was the sound of bells so melodious in the ears. Then a white sword arrived stuck in Alan's hand. The white sword also smashed the trigger of the bomb to pieces.

"...!?!"

Alan could not scream anymore. He did not expect his last move to be thwarted by someone.

- but who?

Tap tap tap tap. The sound of footsteps slowly approached him.

The footsteps came from a young man dressed in Kuryuu Academy's magic school uniform like Laila.

The young man had black hair and had sharp black eyes like a god of death.

"Hey uncle, do you know what you're doing that's gonna get us buried alive?"

Kuro spoke in a relaxed tone to Alan. He also said that he already knew what Alan was going to do.

"Ha haaha, I was really unlucky this time. I fought with a Paladin princess and lost, then you came and blocked my plan, my goodness!'"

"heehh.. So uncle knows who I am?"

Kuro smiled, but his eyes were not. If Laila and Fila were to see Kuro at this moment, they would be shocked. Kuro is completely different. The ordinary-looking young man seemed to be the most ruthless criminal in the world.

"Whoever wears a strange white sword but you."

"Hmm. Did I disappoint you?"

"....Little, I'm just disappointed that you're so different from what I imagined.. So you killed my men on the 3rd floor? If you can do that easily."

This is the only possibility why his men suddenly disappeared and were killed in a sadistic way. Kuro had killed all of them using his white sword.

"Hey don't make me sound evil, uncle. You know I'm just defending myself. After all, it is the duty of Kuryuu Academy's schoolgirls to kill bad guys like uncles. Well.. Although they can't be described as warming."

An impossible turn is heard from the mouth of a young man who cannot yet be summoned old enough to know the murder, but for Alan who knows who Kuro's true identity is, it was like a dream come true. Sure was a nightmare.

"Hmph..Hearing that from someone like you really makes me want to laugh, but why are you here? Shouldn't it be in the Rukia forest?"

For people like Alan, it was common knowledge that Kuro should be in the Rukia forest. Of course there were other rumors like Kuro being in the capital, but no one knew the truth.

".. i was just forced to go to school. You know this is pretty fun.."

Alan's eyes opened wide upon hearing Kuro's reply.

"... ha ha. The school must have gone mad if it accepted you as a student."

"You're right, Grandma*****that's crazy. Just because I was trying to chop off his head, he told me to go to school. Come on. I don't want to talk about it!"

"................."

Grandma ******? Who'sis that? Alan was a little surprised and not very understanding, but he knew a witch strong enough to force Kuro to go to school. And if you think, indeed the woman is really granny ******.

The woman was Electra Val Lavitta the Paladin of Lighting.

"You're crazy as I heard you. One must have thought 1000 times before daring to fight and fight with the Paladin."

Kuro showed a displeased expression upon hearing that word from Alan. To him, it was an insult.

Then Kuro shook his head.

"Yes. Uncle's right. I've gone mad from fighting a paladin. Then is there something wrong with that? No right? One thing you should know Uncle, I'm not a loser a second time."

"...........hua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Alan laughed loudly when he heard Kuro's words that could be said to be nonsense.

How could a brat like him possibly defeat a Paladin? Alan knew Kuro was strong, but there was a huge difference between being strong against the absolute power known as the Paladin.

Besides, Kuro is not a witch. What he said was nothing more than a wish that would never be achieved.

But-but

"Well, honey, maybe I'll never hear from you. What are you gonna do after this? Killed me?"

"No. I don't have to kill you. Besides, I want information about someone named Shadow"

"!?"

"Hey, don't be too surprised. I've been here since your fight with Laila began, so teach me that I know."

How come? Although it was normal for Alan to be not a witch, but how could Laila not be aware of Kuro's whereabouts?

Is that just a prank?

No. gabe. For a guy like Kuro, it's easy.

"I'm really fucking shit today."

Alan could have wanted Kuro to kill him, but it seemed difficult. A suicide? With his wound now, if he were to be left alone it would probably die.

Kuro smiled. He was satisfied with Alan's response. Kuro then pulled out his white sword that stuck in Alan's hand.

"Thank you for the cooperation."

Kuro prepared to leave, but he heard the sound of footsteps coming closer.

The voice came from someone who had been hiding.

"Fila, I'm glad you're okay"

Plaaac.

He got a slap from Fila.

"... Why did you slap me?"

"Basar you. Don't you know how worried I am?"

One thing Kuro knew, Fila was angry.

"sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. And as you can see I'm fine"

"Thank God!!"

Fila arrived to embrace Kuro so tightly.

Kuro was intending to rebel, but aware that the embrace was so tight, he understood Fila was really worried.

Kuro smiled gently. He did not expect to feel a warmth from a person he had not known for a long time.

"Thank you for worrying about me."

Kuro slowly released Fila's embrace.

Fila also realized what she was doing was a little excessive and inappropriate. His face was like a tomato.

"But you should know that this figure in front of you is someone who can attend a magic school even though it is not a witch. You should have believed more."

"...rightly so, anticristal has no effect on you."

Fila still does not know how strong Kuro is, but she has seen Kuro clash with her father. Then if he was that weak, he wouldn't have possibly become an unnatural existence in the magic school.

"But where have you been?"

Kuro looked panicked. Where might he tell you that he finished slaughtering Alan's men in a way that could be called cruel and disregarding human rights.

"I fought with the Red Crow members on another floor and just arrived. I wish I could help, but Laila's done it all. Really, the S rank is not just an empty rank ahaha.."

"..."

Fila looked at Kuro with a look of disbelief. A moment later, he sighed.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's not what. I'm glad you know your limits."

"of course. There was someone waiting for me to come back. How could I die at their hands."

Fila once again sighed. He finally understood one new thing about Kuro.

Kuro is the type of person who likes to act recklessly.

"Fila, I have a request."

Kuro arrived seriously.

"Pe-request?"

"It's not hard, but you're the only one I can count on."

There was no one else there, so Kuro was forced to ask Fila.

"Please watch this uncle for a moment. I'm sure the Knight will be on this floor soon. Then tell me there's a bomb on the 1st floor, so tell Knight to handle it with a heart."

Fila nodded, but she finally realized the peculiarity in Kuro's request.

"Eeeeee .. sorry, but did you say watch?"

"Yes. This uncle!"

Kuro pointed at Alan who was already motionless like a corpse.

"?!"

Realizing that the person was still alive, Fila immediately panicked and moved away from Alan.

"Di-He's alive?"

Kuro nodded.

"Yes. But don't worry, he won't do anything weird. Isn't that right, Uncle?"

Alan just smiled.

"alright. Then I'll go first."

"Wait on! Kuro, where are you going?"

At that moment Fila remembered that this was not over.

"Don't tell me that.-"

"so. Laila might be the strongest magician among the new disciples, but she was still not the strongest. He had almost reached the limit, but he had not noticed it at all. It's a hassle."

Kuro looks irritated.

"But I can't let him fight alone. It's my job to be his partner."

But that's not the problem.

"Kuro please don't go. I know you're strong, but-"

"..."

Kuro just smiled.

That smile was a sign that Kuro was going to go whatever Fila was going to say.

"....bo..doh.."

Fila couldn't stop it. All he could do was pray for the safety of the two of them.

Fila is aware that although Kuro and Laila look incompatible, they are both very similar.

Once they decide something, they will not stop until their goal is achieved.

"Then I'll go first. Be careful.."

"Kurus...."

Kuro didn't say anything else.

Kuro ran towards the roof where Laila was.

"?!"

As Kuro was leaving, Fila was struck by the massive amount of magic energy coming from the roof.

"Laila?"

Only one reason why Laila emitted such a huge mana.

He would use the strongest technique of a magician, the Sacred Magic Art.
