Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Berserked

"Ughs...Khw.."

Kuro opened his eyes. Blurred vision. He felt pain all over his body.

The body is hard to move and has no energy.

But-but

He's still up. For the sake of his promise, he would not give up so easily even if his body would be cut off.

He held onto Lic tightly and used it to help him stand up.

"Ha. ha..a ...."

Trying to focus his eyes, he smiled.

"That's a dangerous bubble. You shouldn't be playing with bubbles out of that cat's mouth, Charl."

And he can still smile even though he can fall down at any time.

Although blood was dripping from all over her body, she did not care.

"You're right. Knife Storm is an attack that cannot be directed freely. But I had no other choice because Knife Storm was the only magic art of mine that didn't kill you."

"heeh... Then I should thank you for not killing me?"

"No. Why do you have to thank me? But I'll take it if you give up. Frankly, I don't want to kill you."

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

Surrender or die?

But one thing was certain, for Kuro there was no giving up. He chose to die rather than surrender.

He also wanted to win, but his body was already barely able to move.

Now what should he do?

"Kurus........."

Laila could barely contain her sadness and tears as she looked at Kuro's body full of incision wounds.

He had seen it before, yet this time was completely different from seven months ago.

"Laila, I hope you calm down. Charl's attack didn't really threaten Kuro's life."

Jinn tried to comfort Laila.

"I told you, right? Kuro will lose this duel. Kuro can actually avoid the Knife Storm, but the narrow dueling arena makes Kuro unable to move freely."

"Can you keep your mouth shut for a minute!"

"I'm just telling you the truth. Why are you angry? After all, the duel would be forcibly stopped if it put lives at risk, but now the duel still continued. In addition, it seems that Master Otome has prepared the Healer to keep watch. So there's no al-"

"Wine."

"""?"""

Yui says something bad is about to happen.

"Wheat? What's so bad?"

" King Kuro started to lose consciousness."

"?!"

Laila immediately turned her head towards Kuro who was standing upright, but there was a shadow on her face.

"Eh? Losing consciousness?"

Kuro even looks normal. He held onto Lic tightly even though his body kept dripping blood.

"Didn't she look okay?"

"Laila, take a good look."

Laila complied with Jinn and went back to paying close attention to Kuro. At first glance there is nothing strange, but if you pay attention to it well, there is something strange with Kuro.

The weirdness was Kuro who was silent in silence.

"Fu fu. I seem to have to make you give up, Kuro. Don't blame me if you're hurt bad!"

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

Unlike before, Kuro was silent. He even seemed to ignore Charl.

"Byakko, Wind Ball once again."

Byakko's mouth was wide open. The bubble appeared and floated towards Kuro once again.

"......."

Kuro was still ignoring Charl, but he ran towards Charl at high speed through the wind bubble.

"Stupid. That bubble will break if you touch it a little sa-!!?"

Charl was surprised instead of playing when he saw Kuro dodging the bubbles floating in the air at high speed. Not only that, Kuro even while running.

"Tch!"

Realizing that there would be problems if he kept silent, Charl started running to the side like he had done.

Meanwhile, Kuro continued to charge towards Byakko without caring for Charl, yet he showed a faint, frightening smile.

Suddenly a small flash was seen. The lightning was so fast that it was almost invisible to the eyes.

".....?!"

Charl was suddenly startled by the 5 wind bubbles that were right in front of him.

He was running, which was why he immediately stopped his footsteps.

He's succeeding. He hasn't touched the Byakko wind bubble yet.

But when he was relieved. He was startled again by the wind bubbles that shot at high speed hitting the previous 5 wind bubbles.

"Damn!!"

Hundreds of wind blades were now attacking Charl's body like a storm.

He felt pain all over his body, yet he was not injured at all. He was lucky thanks to a special uniform that turned magic attacks into psychic attacks.

Unlike Kuro, Charl can endure pain and not fall down.

"?!"

Tapi dia dikejutkan lagi saat Kuro mengabaikannya dan bertarung dengan Byakko.

Byakko is not blowing any more wind bubbles. But the wind bubbles still floated in the arena.

Kuro slashed at the Byakko at an abnormal speed and cut off some parts of the Byakko's body. The Byakko known as one of the Divine Beasts was as if it was just trash.

The next incident is predictable, the Byakko disappeared into particles.

Kuro then turned his head towards Charl who showed an incredulous expression of the defeated Byakko. Not only him, even all who saw it did not believe in their own eyes.

But the Byakko is just a creature created from magic. Beating the Byakko doesn't mean Kuro won.

"Fu fu's..."

Charl smiled faintly when he found out the Byakko was defeated. He's not panicking or anxious. He was happy. It seems like Kuro is indeed a Witch Reaper.

Kuro now stepped towards him slowly while unsheathing his sword.

(It's terrible, but-)

Charl noticed Kuro did not care about his wounds that kept bleeding. Even every time he stepped up, blood kept dripping from Kuro's body.

But he didn't have to think about his opponent. All Charl needs to do is win.

He then controls the wind and directs the bubble in front of Kuro.

Charl made the wind bubbles touch each other and erupt.

Thousands of wind blades once again filled the arena.

But-but

"?!!"

A larger wind sword instantly neutralized thousands of small wind blades. Not only that, the great wind sword was pointed right at Charl.

Charl dodged to the side.

Charl can't calm down. He looked at Kuro who was running towards him at high speed.

No, Kuro was already right in front of him.

"?!"

Kuro had unwittingly pointed Lic right at Charl's neck.

Fresh blood spread to the arena floor. A lot of girls are yelling at Charl to be beheaded.

But-but

"Almost!"

Charl was relieved when he survived.

(It's a good thing I made a 5-layer shield.)

The magic he used was actually created to keep something unwanted from happening, but he did not expect it to be that fast.

Charl observed Kuro who was now five meters away from him.

(But why did he really intend to kill me?)

Charl doesn't understand, but there is a possibility that it has something to do with Kuro remaining silent.

"Ugh..."

Charl groaned in pain as he looked at his left shoulder that was slashed quite deeply. Blood continued to flow, yet it was not too severe a wound.

He had not expected Kuro to be able to cut through his 5-layer shield. And to avoid having his head cut off, he jumped to the side before the shield was cut off completely like before, but he was unlucky that Kuro's sword was still hitting him.

But that's not all Kuro does.

Charl glanced at his truncated pistol and could no longer be used.

Considering Charl's pistol was made of pure Magilium, it should be hard to do.

(No. That sword was stronger than Magilium from the beginning.)

He now understood why Kuro used that sword. The sword had an unfathomable strength even though it was only a metal sword.

(But what was even more surprising was his rapidly increasing speed. After I dodged, he spun around quickly and slashed my gun.)

Charl now knew that Kuro could kill him at any time.

But-but

"Fufu... It's interesting."

Charl smiled with satisfaction. His blood boiled because it had not fought with the opponent for a long time that made him tremble.

Byakko appears once again near Charl.

"It looks like I should be serious about confronting you, Kuro, no, Witch Reaper."

He smiled like a maniac.

(I will spend most of my mana, but I have no other choice.)

"Show your reborn form. A turtle!!"

The roarrrrr!

Byakko roared loudly. It's harder than ever.

At the same time, 3 magic circles appeared under the feet of the Byakko. Suddenly a tornado appeared and enveloped Byakko's body.

"What the hell is this?"

Jinn was shocked as she felt Charl's magic pressure rise by leaps and bounds.

Not only Jinn, the entire audience also felt the same way.

A pair of golden eyes appeared in the tornado. That's when the tornado suddenly vanished and left a new figure reborn.

Two feet touching the ground. The body is like a human, but it has the tail and ears of a tiger. The height of two meters was more like a burly man.

The tiger-shaped Byakko has now turned into a tiger-man.

Not only that, two huge swords appeared and landed on both Byakura hands.

All eyes were shocked when they saw the incident.

They all knew only certain magicians could use Incarnation magic arts. A magic art that can only be done by a SSS-ranked magician.

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

Kuro only fell silent and showed no surprised reaction. But he was already preparing to slash the Byakko/Turtles a second time.

In the audience, Yui was surprised not because of the figure of the Byakura, but still because of Kuro.

"Wine. We must resuscitate Kak Kuro as soon as possible!"

Yui looks panicked and anxious when she sees Kuro acting strangely. This was natural given that Yui knew very well what was going on with Kuro.

"Yui. Be calm. Doesn't Kuro look okay? He's even superior."

"Sister Laila, you don't understand. Kuro is now unconscious. If this continues, bad things will happen."

"Bad thing? But so far I've seen Kuro's strength and speed increase by leaps and bounds. Shouldn't you be happy, Yui. Uhmm.. I'm okay calling you by your first name?"

Yui nodded.

"Jinn, you're wrong."

"What do you mean?!

Knox also seemed to realize what Yui meant.

"You should have known. Try to watch well. Is that the Kuro we've known all along?"

Not only Jinn, Laila also finally realized the strangeness of Kuro.

They now saw that Kuro had almost slashed Charl's head. Thank goodness Charl survived.

The Kuro they knew wouldn't do that, but now they're seeing Kuro really intent on killing his opponent.

But if you think about it again, this is natural considering that Kuro is a Witch Reaper.

"You all saw it, right? We need to quickly resuscitate Kuro. If it goes on, Kuro will really kill Charl."

Jinn finally understood. He also realized that something was going to happen soon.

"Eh? Can you explain it to me? Frankly, I still don't understand."

The only one who doesn't understand is Laila.

Laila is indeed sometimes unresponsive in situations like this.

"Listen, Brother Kuro is currently in his consciousness. His body was currently just following his deepest desires"

"Deepest desire?"

"More easily a very strong desire . We sometimes get strength even though the body is not able to stand. Laila's sister has experienced it, right?"

Laila nodded.

Determinedly. That's what Yui meant.

And that determination is what is now moving and taking over Kuro's body. Determine not to give up and keep fighting.

Berserk that was the condition that happened to Kuro at this moment.

"If under normal conditions, Kak Kuro is able to use this power and control it. But as you can see, he's lost control."

"Why..trol?."

Jinn now understood why Kuro's strength and speed sometimes increased by leaps and bounds. But controlling the power of a raging willpower is arguably impossible, no, more appropriate if arguably requires tremendous control.

"Wait, Yui says if things are normal, don't say that"

Yui closed her eyes for a moment and took a breath.

"Sister Laila hasn't noticed yet? Isn't Brother Kuro acting strange this late? No, more precisely too much rest? Besides, didn't he ever use this final training weight?"

Laila recalled the moment after Kuro returned. And what Yui said was indeed true.

"Right now Kuro is actually in his weakest condition. And that's why he got out of control. He continued to fight even though his body continued to be injured. Although his body was torn apart. Even though his entire body was destroyed. He will continue to fight. You know the reason, right?"

Laila's eyes widened as Yui turned to her with a pitiful look.

Laila now understood why Kuro continued to fight despite being at his weakest. It was because Kuro loved himself.

In order to prove his love, Kuro will defeat Charl, and the fastest way to defeat Charl is to kill him. That was why Kuro had unhesitatingly beheaded Charl despite being unconscious.

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

Is this what Yui meant by making the biggest mistake? If yes, -

(Yui's right. I've made the biggest mistake.)

His biggest mistake was not getting Kuro to fight, but doubting Kuro's love.

"What the hell is this?"

"?!"

Suddenly Laila felt the pressure of where Charl was rising by leaps and bounds.

Laila immediately turned her head back towards the arena. Laika's eyes widened as the Byakko turned into a Byaktura. At the same time, he looked towards Kuro who was showing a soulless blank look.

Divine Contractors. They are magicians who have magic beasts in the form of monsters in legend. That was what made the Divine Contractor possess a power greater than ordinary Contractor-type mages.

The turtle and Kuro now clashed swords once again at an abnormal speed.

Their fight is on a different level. The speed, power and impact of the wind sword slashes filled the arena.

But not only that, Kuro's blood also spread and splattered in the arena.

"?!"

Laila was startled by Kuro who was thrown into the shield wall violently. Blood filled the shield like spilled drink.

All eyes were shocked when Kuro was still able to rise from his wounds that could be said to be severe and once again drew his sword.

"Tch...I really don't want to kill you, Kuro. You should realize there's no way you can beat the Byakura. His strength and speed were different from that of the Byakko."

But Charl knew Kuro wouldn't give up. Although Kuro's body could be said to have suffered severe injuries.

"Pathetic."

Both of Charl's legs glowed as a sign he was going to use Leap's magic art.

"Turtle. We're ending this fight."

The turtle ran towards Kuro. Charl did too.

A claang!!

Two Byakura swords were captured by Kuro. Kuro was slightly pushed back due to the great power of the Byaktura.

Byaktura and Kuro pushed each other back. That's when Charl hit Kuro right in the chest many times. The power of Charl's punch was stronger than a normal punch as it added magic energy to each punch.

Test test..

Blood spurts on Charl's face and shirt. But he doesn't care and continues to hit Kuro who is now like an undead.

Once again Kuro's body was thrown into the shield wall after receiving the final blow.

"Huh.huh...huh..."

Charl's breathing panted heavily, yet he widened his eyes as Kuro was still able to get up.

"...You're my longest-lasting opponent, but this fight is making me sick. Why don't you give up? If you give up, you won't die."

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

But Kuro did not care and kept silent. Charl's words and warnings did not reach Kuro at all.

"Haa... I think I'm gonna have to do this. The healer will definitely be able to heal you, so don't blame me. Remember. You made me do this."

Charl glanced towards Kuro's feet. He knew what he had to do to end this fight.

"Turtle. Let's cut Kuro's leg off!"

"?!"

Laila was shocked when she heard what Charl was going to do.

But that was the best way to end this duel.

If Kuro's leg is cut off, then the duel will be stopped because Kuro can't fight anymore. Besides, Charl didn't have to kill Kuro.

Charl and Byaktura made a combination attack once again. They ran towards Kuro zigzagging at high speed.

"Turtle!"

The advancing turtle first attacked Kuro with both of his swords which were several times larger than the Kuro katana.

Clang!!

Unexpectedly, Kuro held back with a horizontal slash and made the Byaktura bounce back.

"!? i?!His strength increased again."

Gaining a bad premonition, Charl increases Leap's speed. This time he tried to tackle Kuro at high speed.

Kuro doesn't try to dodge, he's trying to slash Charl's leg.

"Damn!"

But before Kuro's sword slashes Charl's leg, Byaktura holds Kuro's sword.

The sound of swords clashing against each other filled the arena again.

Charl is lucky the Byaktura stopped Kuro's slash. If not, he's already lost his leg.

The fight is back between Kuro and Byakutura. Their swords clashed against each other at a higher speed than before.

This made all the spectators sweat coldly. Even Charl.

"What the fuck is he? He even compensated for the speed of the Byakura. He's a monster, ...no..."

This is the true power of the Witch Reaper.

"Sister Kuro has an ability called Learn. The same attack will never work on Kuro's brother. Besides, the stronger the opponent, the stronger Kuro's brother will be."

"""...............!?"""

"That's why he's gonna win, but if we don't wake Kuro up right away, his body's gonna break because it can't hold his power."

Blood continued to fill the arena. Little by little the arena turned into a pool of blood.

"In addition, if you want brother Kuro to win, we must immediately resuscitate Kuro. Because its true power can only be expended if it is conscious. Besides, this is the only way that Kuro's brother won't kill Charl." Yui continued

"A real power?" ask Knox.

Yui nodded slowly.

While Jinn was silent because she knew and had seen Kuro's power.

"Yui, if what you're saying is true, let's quickly wake Kuro up."

Laila looks excited.

"That's the problem, .. I don't know how to wake Kuro up if it's like this."

Laila, Jinn and Knox were instantly speechless.

But the duel will continue until one loses. Kuro continued to rise, while Charl arguably had almost run out of mana.

It was only a matter of time that the winner of this duel was determined. The problem is that Kuro will probably kill Charl, and Charl will likely kill Kuro considering that there are still many magic arts that he has not yet released.

As an SSS-ranked magician, Charl possesses both powerful and dangerous magic arts. In this duel Charl has not issued the real ability because he does not want to kill Kuro, but if pressed, maybe he will bring out the real power.

The shield of the dueling arena was able to withstand magic attacks on par with Master rank magicians, but there were cases of shields being destroyed in duels.

One of the people who did that was Laila's sister. Arthuria the Prince of Phoenix.

"Yui...., do you really not know how to awaken Kuro?"

"You're the closest person to Kuro, so you must know how."

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

Yui fell silent as she thought of the right way to awaken Kuro.

Jinn's right. He was the closest person to Kuro. So you could say he was the only hope for this fight to end peacefully.

After a while, Yui showed a complicated expression. But somehow he glanced at Laila from the bottom to the top.

"Honestly, I've only ever seen Kuro like twice. Brother Kuro will usually be aware immediately after his goal is achieved, but we can't let it this time."

"So, what should we do?"

" I'm glad you asked."

"?"

"It's just my theory, but there's no harm in trying. Come with me.!"

"Huh , coming? Kema-Wooa's.."

Yui instantly pulled Laila up the stairs that were used to climb up the arena.

From that place Laila saw the entire arena full of blood and Kuro who was already severely injured and unconscious.

"Sister Laila we only have one chance. If it fails, frankly I don't know what to do anymore."

Hearing Yui's warning who was beside her, Laila gulped her saliva and broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't know Yui's plan, but he nodded.

"We'll wait until Kuro's brother doesn't have a sword. That's when you call Kuro's name He loves you, he'll realize after you call him."

Baammu!!

They were struck by the impact of the shield that was right in front of them. Not only that, there was blood. That's a sign they should awaken Kuro immediately.

"just that? Are you sure you'll make it?"

"Just calm. The old adage says 'Love cannot be defeated by anything, not even by God'. So if you love Kuro then believe me he'll realize."

Although it sounded suspicious, Laila nodded because there was no other choice.

"All right, I get it."

The two of them turned their heads back to the fight between Byakutura and Kuro. While Charl watched and kept his distance from their fight.

Charl had no choice. He had to keep observing and determine the best strategy to defeat Kuro.

The greatest weakness of Contractor-type magicians is that sometimes their magic beasts are stronger than the magicians themselves. This is what makes most will target witches rather than their magic beasts.

But Kuro is different. He fought with the turtle. It's strange and at the same time frightening considering Kuro is an ordinary person.

"Turtle, Hammer Blade!"

The turtle instantly swung its two swords horizontally right towards Kuro. Kuro also replied with a horizontal slash.

While their swords had yet to collide, Kuro's sword was restrained by an invisible wall and pushed his body hard.

Kuro was pushed, but he instantly slashed through the air in front of him and a loud impact sound rang out on the shield that was located right behind Kuro.

"Tch!"

Charl had only found a troublesome opponent like Kuro for the first time.

He observes the movements of Kuro and Kuro's heavily bloodied body. How could he still fight under such circumstances?

"Kuroooooo!!"

That's when Charl hears Laila calling Kuro. Spontaneously Charl looked over. Kuro did the same thing as Charl.

"Kuro, sahilaahh!"

Laila screamed and sometimes hit the kekkai wall.

"It worked. Keep calling brother Kuro. Then I'll do the rest."

(?)

Laila did not understand, but she kept calling Kuro.

Unfortunately, Kuro has not regained consciousness and will resume the fight.

(Wire. This didn't work. Why?)

Doesn't Kuro love himself? Why didn't his voice reach Kuro?

When almost desperate, Laila immediately felt someone holding her skirt. That person is Yui.

Yui quickly lifted Laila's skirt until her entire panties were clearly visible. Sexy black pants and commonly worn by adult women are now seen by Kuro and all the dueling audience.

"uh?"
