Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

End Eyes of Balor

With the declaration of war, there was no reason for Kuro to hold back.

Every swing from his sword instantly annihilated anything that touched him. No matter if it was magic, defense and all the attacks launched by the Airs.

But somehow every time Kuro's attack was about to touch Airs' body, there was something that made his attack not arrive.

"You do have a strong attack, but it's completely useless if you don't hit the target."

"..."

Kuro did not care and continued to attack. He knew the reason why he couldn't hit the Airs wasn't because the Airs could dodge, but because Kuro's body couldn't move as he wished.

Magic that manipulates the mind and other controls does not have any effect on Kuro, but that does not mean it has no effect. Especially the power that came from the Cursed Arm.

Kuro then uses Dominator, not on the Airs, but on his own body. His body can be moved as before. And he unhesitatingly attacked again.

A smile appeared on Airs' lips.

The sound of metal clashing sounded from the two clashing swords. The sword came from Pandora who had escaped from Dominator's influence.

No, this time Pandora has been controlled by Airs.

"There is no one in this world who can fend off your sword, but that's because no one can use darkness like you. No, I think someone can do it. Aren't we?"

"..."

Kuro did not answer.

Pandora is the embodiment of the darkness of Fila's heart, it's not strange to be able to do so. Then because of the influence of Eyes of Balor, it makes Pandora can survive.

Yep. Just survive.

With multiple attacks, Pandora's sword is destroyed and once again Kuro annihilates Pandora from the world.

"..."

Pandora is still coming back. Not just one, but dozens and besieging Kuro from all directions.

Then there was another figure that made Kuro even more angry. It was the figure of Charmilia who used Dragon Gear.

"You are stronger, but at the moment our situation is the same. If you were the King you used to be, you could beat me easily, but with you now, is it possible that you could?"

Airs can see everything. This is not strange considering Eyes of Balor is a magic eye.

Each King will remain connected even though they are different each generation. It was the one that distinguished the King from the Queen chosen by the Dragon King.

"Haha.don't be arrogant, Black. It doesn't suit you at all. I'm weaker than I used to be, but you forgot one thing."

"..."

"I'm not alone."

A Scarflare appeared in front of Kuro from within the ground. Airs did not hide his surprise, but the sickening smile still did not disappear.

"What if adding to the sword you have can make you win?"

When viewed from another person's point of view, adding a sword did not make Kuro win. Especially with the power of darkness, not all weapons can survive.

But that was not the reason Kuro used Scarflare.

"The assimilation!!"

Kuro brought Scarflare closer to Lic. He then used Authority.

With that Kuro created a new sword the result of the union between himself and Laila.

"Girl!"

Kuro's sword turned into a smoldering red that was mixed with the black of darkness.

The sword that had previously only emitted darkness, was now a sword so beautiful filled with light and darkness fused together.

Airs subconsciously stepped back. He understood that the sword was not just a sword from the merger.

"As usual you are beyond human reason. No one can bring darkness and light together but you."

"Thank you for the compliment. And now it's time to end this."

"Try if you can."

Dozens of Pandoras and Charmilia began to attack.

Pandora created various weapons such as swords, spears, hammers, chains, and of course not to forget tentacles in various sizes. Then Charmilia amplifies Pandora's attack with the lightning element.

With such great power in his hands, it might seem natural that Kuro would choose to fight back, but he chose to dodge with Accel Art. More precisely to the sky.

"..."

Kuro could see just how powerful each attack was. That's why he can't fight directly.

Right now his body has no defense, because that's the one attack on him, he'll be done.

"Laila, lend me your strength!!"

A firestorm wriggling from Licflare. Kuro then spins in the air and then executes the technique.

"Cursed Holy Art "

The reddish black flames engulfed everything. All Pandora, iron sand forest, Charmilia and of course Airs body.

Seeing the impact of the attack, it might be at first glance seen Kuro is merciless and free to attack due to the Doll effect. Even with the power of darkness, there might not be any survivors.

But after the fire disappeared, there was finally a figure still left. Charmilia, Airs and Fila are still confined in a black box.

It's just that, in contrast to Charmilia and Fila, Airs' body seemed to be burning with the entire body full of wounds. Even his eyes were still smoky black.

Airs slumped and groaned in pain.

Kuro stood in front of him with a sword drawn towards his neck.

"W-how is it possible...?"

"You're asking how could the forces of darkness have this kind of effect?"

Kuro smiled.

"The power of darkness is indeed a power that is impossible to control, even with my present condition, full control is impossible. But thanks to my light, I managed to control it."

"Imust be!!"

"This is reality. With this I can even choose who I attack. Youunderstand?"

"..huh!!!"

The airs full of arrogant smiles now disappear in exchange for a loser in the war.

The reddish-black flame once again wriggled.

"See you, Black!!"

Kuro prepares to destroy Eyes of Balor. With his current strength, destroying Eyes of Balor without injuring Airs was not impossible.

However, just before the fire touched the Airs, a big smile returned.

"In the end I was the one who laughed the most, King!!"

"!?"

The airs suddenly disappeared and appeared before Kuro's eyes. The springs then glow.

"Soul Chain!!"

Black dew emerged from the Airs and directly entered Kuro's body.

Kuro then did not move like a puppet whose rope was cut off.

The spectators who saw it had the same thought. The worst nightmare has just begun.

Simultaneously, darkness overflowed from Kuro's body like the beginning of the end of the world.

💠💠💠💠

"Her Majesty the emperor. Because of the danger, I beg you to take immediate shelter."

One of the Holy Knights panicked and immediately gave a suggestion for an evacuation.

The Battle War battle from the beginning did not go as usual, but the Cursed Arm and the power of darkness were already too abnormal to be digested by the human brain.

"Don't worry, he's not an easy person to control. Especially by fake items like Cursed Arm. Right, Sei?"

The answer is Fea. Just like emperor Sei, he was the only one who did not panic at all.

The invitations and important guests were seen trembling with fear, but they could not leave while emperor Sei had not moved from his place at all.

"The bad habit of playing games really makes other people bother."

Sei sighed deeply.

Kuro is someone who will solve his problems in a complicated way, which is why Kuro often gets other people involved with his problems.

"He's just too good." Say Fea with a big smile.

"If it's her old self, maybe she'll destroy the Airs without having to convoluted like this."

Kuro earning the nickname Demon King was not without reason. Although sometimes history is exaggerated, but for the Kuro case in the past, the cruelty in the story may be too soft.

"Haha, you can't say that. Isn't he one of the students at this state school?"

"In this country there is no forgiveness for criminals. Everything he did was enough of a reason to execute him."

Fea just smiled wryly.

Although it sounded merciless, but that was the rule that made the empire until now the strongest country. Not only the people who obey, but also understand that doing crime will harm themselves.

Of course such a rule has loopholes. If the people of the empire suffer by the rule of the government, then the empire will sooner or later collapse.

But this has never happened. The main factor is that there is no division because the emperor never changes.

"Haha. so we just have to watch? If I could I want some popcorn."

"I've prepared it."

Looking at a crisis situation like this, the actions of both are completely beyond human reason.

But it was natural, from the beginning no one thought both of them were normal humans.

Or can they even be called human?

💠💠💠

Inside the darkness, a purplish black light lit up like a small torch.

The torch turned into an eyeball with a golden pupil like that of a snake. This is the true form of Eyes of Balor.

"Hahahahahahaha hahahaha. As King, you're so careless for giving me this opportunity, my cuckoo."

Eyes of Balor laughed happily filled with ecstasy. He did not expect all the complicated plans to have been successful.

No, it might be more appropriate if he got far beyond what he had expected.

As a Cursed Arm, he wanted to obtain a container that suited him. Thus, he could achieve the greatest goal of every Cursed Arm, namely the full awakening.

At first he was disappointed to get a completely useless container like Airs, but when he found out in this period there was a King who rose again, then he did not hide his pleasure. Especially now that King was the weakest. Undoubtedly, if he could master the King, he would be able to rise up completely.

It takes a lot of time and a complicated way. But all of that is worth it when you get the result.

"I'll finally be free..."

Dozens of purplish-black chains emerged from his entire body. It was the embodiment of the power of Eyes of Balor capable of curbing the will, mind and soul of the person using it, Soul Chain.

To master Kuro the first time he does is to find Kuro's soul, but-

"...."

He didn't find Kuro's soul anywhere.

He scatters the entire chain in all directions, but he finds nothing.

How come?

Kings are special, but their souls are still ordinary human souls connected to true King souls. From there they could use inhumane powers like Authority. Supposedly when he possessed Kuro's body, he would be directly dealing with his soul.

"Why...?"

He started asking about the oddity that was happening, then it was at that moment that a pair of white eyes appeared before his eyes.

"!?"

Then, dozens of other pairs of eyes appeared from all over the place of varying sizes as if watching him.

As a Cursed Arm, he had no fear. But somehow he felt an invisible terror.

Maybe this is what we call a bad feeling.

Next, what appeared was a huge figure like a giant. The size of Eyes of Balor was like a marble in front of that figure.

It is the opposite as it has been. If people were ordinary, their souls would be the size of marbles.

"W-shape that...."

It was undoubtedly Kuro's soul form. It's just that his current form has fractured parts in various places like weathered wood. From each crack disappeared into golden light particles.

That's strange, but that's not the problem.

A soul of that size was not a soul belonging to an ordinary human. Then normally the size of a small ball with fire like a torch.

Kuro's soul form in addition to his abnormal size, his form could be said to be very perfect.

In other words,..

"You're not King? No, could it....?"

Kuro just smiled a little. He then picked up Eyes of Balor like taking a marble seed and brought it closer to his face.

"I'm King, but at the same time not. You were created with the intention of imitating the power of the Authority I used, no wonder you don't know who I am."

"..."

If he had sweat, Eyes of Balor was already sweating profusely.

He knew this figure in front of him was not the King figure he had expected. Then from the difference in the size of his soul, Eyes of Balor knew it was impossible for him to master Kuro's soul.

"Well, there's no point in talking about that. Now what did I do to you?"

Eyes of Balor knows the fate that will befall him. At first he thought that everything was going the way he wanted, but in reality he was dancing in Kuro's palm.

"Tu-wait!! Don't destroy me!!"

"Why? You are just a lowly creature created with the purpose of destroying. You're aware of that, right?"

As a Cursed Arm, he could not argue against it.

"As an object created to destroy, you know the future awaits you. Surrender, no negotiations for you."

"Tch!!"

He thinks he can avoid it, but he understands Kuro doesn't allow it. Or rather whatever he said would not make Kuro forgive him.

Despite the free tofu, Eyes of Balor attacked with Soul Chain. Dozens of chains struck right towards Kuro's head, but all of them were instantly annihilated by the golden chains that emerged from the empty air.

"..."

He knew exactly what the gold chain was. It was the embodiment of the same power as Soul Chain, Dominator.

In comparison, they are like heaven and earth. Even Eyes of Balor could tell what happened if Kuro used that power with selfish purposes.

Not only destroy the world, but also can shape the world with only one Authority.

A person who possessed such power was undoubtedly not a human. They don't even deserve to be equated with lowly creatures like humans.

"King... Why?"

That was the last question before Eyes of Balor was destroyed by the Dominator gold chain.

It can also be called World Chain.

"..."

Kuro knows Eyes of Balor's final question is not for forgiveness.

💠💠💠

Many thought something would soon happen when darkness overflowed from Kuro's body. They seemed to see the most terrifying legends come back to life.

The fact that Kuro was a descendant of the Demon King was already widespread. It made many interested in him, but at the same time also afraid. Moreover, rumors of his cruelty while being a member of the imperial special forces also spread widely.

For the rumors regarding Kuro's work as a Shadow Knight, such rumors had actually been suppressed. No, it's even been kept secret to keep every former member's privacy and make them able to return to the light path.

However, Kuro's abnormal status as well as one of the Battle War participants makes the privacy and secrets he has will be searched thoroughly whether it is from other participants, or from the media.

"....Kuro's.."

As Kuro's wife and loved ones, Laila is not very happy with the bad rumors Kuro has, but she also cannot argue that they are all wrong.

In the end, although he heard a lot of scorn and insults from people around him, he did not care so long as it did not interfere with their normal lives.

"It's fascinating..."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. You know that the dark element no one can use but your husband. If that's true, don't you have to worry?"

"I never said I didn't believe it. Ever since I knew him, he's been doing things that are beyond human reason."

Laila remembers their past as Alice and Shiro. That really makes Laila nostalgic.

Then if Kuro still hasn't changed the same as before, then there's nothing to worry about.

And that's true.

The overflowing darkness slowly dissipated like a wind then. What was left of it was Kuro and the others.

Laila and Mitra quickly approached. In addition to them wanting to quickly see Kuro's condition, they also had to be wary of other participants who were taking advantage of this kind of situation.

But their worries seem unnecessary.

"Kuro, are you okay?"

"Huh. huh... Ha... Doesn't matter. I just used too much of my power."

Kuro's breath gasping. His face was also pale as if he was about to faint at any moment.

When compared to before, the current Kuro was indeed much different, more precisely very much weaker, but it seemed like Laila had to think about this matter more seriously.

Then with the power of detection magic, he could feel that the energy within Kuro was chaotic and so complicated as a tangled thread. It was very different from the energy that normally moved like a stream.

"!?"

But the energy that Laila felt instantly became stable again. Kuro's tangled energy had returned to its original state. It was also visible from the sign Kuro was no longer pale.

"Laila, is something wrong?"

"....No. gabe. I'm glad you're okay."

"Rather than thinking of me, we have more important problems."

They all glanced towards the Airs and Charmilia. Both of them were unconscious and just lying on the ground.

Both of them fell asleep after everything that happened.

"He's unconscious like a corpse."

Partners check the condition of Airs. Although not as good as Laila, Mitra can know that the condition of the Airs is quite dangerous.

"That's the payment he received. Well... He's lucky to be alive. Though I don't know if this is best for her."

Laila and Mitra couldn't say what. Airs are like a dying man. Even the two of them could not sense the magic energy in the Airs body like an ordinary person.

Yep. Airs' career as a witch has been completed.

"We'll take care of Airs later. We have two daughters to wake up to."

Kuro pointed towards Charmilia and Fila who were still inside the black cube.

"Are you the prince?" Laila asked with a giggling laugh.

"Of course, but one thing's for sure, I'll never be a prince. Pandora, can you show me your form. We got a problem here."

Laila and Mitra were surprised, but as Kuro said, Pandora reappeared. But unlike before, the dark aura that enveloped him had disappeared.

"You know what?"

Kuro just smiled.

"Just calm. I will help Fila to get out of the darkness that covers her."

Hearing that Pandora shed tears and ended up crying completely. Mitra and Laila did not really understand just staring at the astonishment.

"thank you. Only you can help my master. Be a new light and show her that the world has something beautiful."

"certain."

What the hell is going on?

Kuro just smiled seeing their reaction.

He then stepped towards Charmilia. He lifted it with a sling ala the princess. Then, what happened cannot be guessed by everything.

Kuro kissed Charmilia.

Mitra widened her eyes in disbelief at what had just happened. He even pulled Laila's clothes as if asking 'is this going to be okay?'

Laila just laughed a little because she knew what was going to happen.

Ignoring everything, Kuro gives a friendly kiss like a lover. The soft and sweet lips of Charmilia he felt clearly. The sensation he felt had not changed after his second first kiss.

But he didn't have time to think about unnecessary things. He did what he had to do. Destroying the remaining Eyes of Balor controlling magic.

Indeed Kuro has destroyed the point, but the influence of Eyes of Balor is still not lost completely. That is one of the reasons why Eyes of Balor is known to be one of the most dangerous. And if left alone, Charmilia would lose her mind.

"Dominator!!"

A golden chain emerged from Kuro's body and entered Charmilia's body. Heading to the deepest part of the soul and destroying the Soul Chain.

What he did was invisible to the eye, but the golden chains that appeared were clearly visible to the naked eye. Laila and Mitra are taken aback by the visualization of Kuro's power being seen for the first time.

"With this everything will be fine."

Kuro let go of his kiss and saw the state of Charmilia. His breath was back to normal and his face looked fresher.

At the same time Charmilia's eyes opened. He widened his eyes in shock by the unexpected situation. His face flushed in embarrassment mixed with panic.

Charlmilia briefly tried to thrash, but her body could not lie. He enjoyed this moment.

"Charlia?"

"....Kuro?"

Anyone could see there was a pink aura between them.

But-the

"It's not the time to do this."

Kuro easily let go of Charmilia to make her fall to the ground quite hard. The pink aura instantly disappeared as if it had never existed.

Charmilia was made dazed like a fool, but she knew she couldn't protest.

"Lalisa...?"

"Do as you please. Let me take care of the rest."

Kuro then stepped his feet towards the black cube that locked Fila away.

Charmilia was still confused as to what was happening, yet she quickly understood what Kuro was going to do.

After approaching, Kuro touched the black box made of iron sand. At first glance it looks like a solid fortress, but Kuro knows that there is an exception.

That's to the guy Fila wants to meet.

Unfortunately, that person was not Kuro.

"Fila, I'm in..."

Using one of the Authority, Dominators, he forced his way in.

After that Kuro's figure disappeared being swallowed by the black sand.
