Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Reaper Witch

Laila was shocked and out of words he said.

His face and ears were red with embarrassment and it was unexpected that everyone would see his underwear. Laila then quickly closed her skirt and turned her head towards Yui.

But Yui is no longer beside him and is already next to Jinn. Yui even pretended not to see Laila.

""Bad women!!!""

Without Laila noticing, Alva and Alvi curse Laila from their place.

With her face flushed like a ripe tomato, Laila instantly returned to where she was watching.

"Yui, why did you do that?"

Laila almost cried. It was one of the most embarrassing events of his life.

Yui turned towards Laila with a plain face, then said:

"Sister Laila what do you mean? If you want to blame, blame the wind that blew your skirt."

"Wind can't do that, Yui!"

"That's it, most importantly we managed to resuscitate Kuro's brother."

"Eh?"

Laila looked at the arena. Yui was right, she saw Kuro was already conscious. And he's still bleeding, but blood is now coming out of his nose.

"Yui...."

"?"

Kuro gives his thumb to Yui as a sign she is happy.

Yui replied with a thumbs up and a sweet smile. They're compact.

"Laila," Jinn said. " That was a terrible sacred magic art!"

Jinn turned her head while giving her thumb. Not only that, from Jinn's nostrils came out even more blood. He finally fell down after a few seconds.

".........?"

Laila just fell silent at that. But he realized he had done something to defame his family.

"They're all really perverted and weak. I didn't expect them all to faint because I saw your panties."

Although it looks calm, from Knox's nose also came out blood even though it was not heavy. But in the end he also fainted.

It's not just the two of them who fainted. The men watching all experienced the same thing. Nosebleeds and many fainting.

This is one of the new abilities Laila (possibly) is known for the most beautiful girl in 1st grade.

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

Laila's face once again turned red and held onto her skirt so that the incident did not happen again. He then returned to look at Kuro who was now standing with the help of his sword.

This was natural considering that Kuro's consciousness was back and so was the pain that multiplied many times over.

Kuro can feel about 7-8 bones cracked and could have broken if too forced himself again. Some of his internal organs also suffered some injuries. But the most severe is due to blood loss so that his head feels very dizzy and his vision is blurred.

"I heard you were a pervert, but I didn't think you were really perverted, Kuro."

The only one who doesn't have a nosebleed is Charl.

All the girls who were watching were hysterically shouting and praising Charl. That's a real man.

"..... That's wa... jar because I'm a la.ki man... Charl's... Yang ane...h no.. is it yourself..mu...?"

"Hmmph .I already have someone I love, so I won't be attracted to anyone else. That's all."

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

"Hey Kuro's. I know you won't give up, .. Because that's one thing I want to ask you. What's your reason for fighting?"

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

Kuro fell silent. Not that he didn't want to answer, but he couldn't answer. His eyes were blurred and his head was dizzy. He could even fall down at any time.

Even so, he remained standing upright and showed his determination.

"The reason for the fight......"

"........"

That was when a faint smile appeared on Kuro's lips.

Elsewhere Electra and Riana watched their fight closely. Riana is surprised that Kuro can have a balanced fight against Charl, but there is something more to her interest.

"so apparently. That was the reason why Aunt Electra called Kuro's sword the real Demon King's sword. The sword force is incredible."

"You're right, but you're wrong, too."

"You mean?"

"Actually Kuro can cut the five-layer Shield without even using that sword."

"Eh?"

"You know the Shadow Knight is under my command right? Kuro had once joined for over a year and naturally fought with the other Shadow Knight members. In that fight he rarely used that sword. Even he was only using an ordinary Magilium sword, but he was still able to cut through the Shield easily."

In short, Kuro's abilities are also outstanding even without the white sword.

"But as you know the sword of Magilium is not strong enough if there is no magic added, so in every fight he will definitely break his sword. ....To be honest I was quite bothered because the Shadow Knight's job was eye-eye and gathering information. Kuro's white sword will instantly attract attention for being too conspicuous."

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

"To overcome that problem I made another sword of Magilium non-material even stronger and forged by the best sword makers, but do you know what happened?"

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

"All the swords were broken because they couldn't withstand the power of Kuro's sword technique."

Riana immediately broke out in a cold sweat. But at the same time he was curious about Kuro's ability.

Why did all the swords break?

"Surprisingly, if the sword is of the best material, it will definitely not be easily broken even against witches, besides I'm sure you will also add anti-magic materials to reduce the pressure on the sword. In other words Kuro must have had a sword technique that was too powerful and weighed down on every sword he wielded. Blade a rt ability like that......"

"Fu fufu's.. That's why I'm calling nobody equal Kuro."

"You're right, but this........"

"Why don't you just look at Kuro's data, you'll be even more surprised."

"Eh..."

Riana's surprised. It was at that moment that Electra instantly destroyed the Cristal Sect in her hands. After that came many light panels that floated filled the room.

The panel swore dozens and all of those panels contained actual Kuro data.

For Riana, for the first time she saw that much data for one person. This is natural considering that much data should be data for dozens of people.

"...Hmm... it's....."

Of all the data, there is one data that makes him interested, namely the list of names. The names of the girls numbering in the hundreds.

(He's playboy.)

That was what Riana thought, but she realized after looking through the list of names carefully, she realized that all of them were important people.

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

Electra only smiled faintly when she saw Riana reading Kuro's data.

Although it is secret, but some of it is the result of his own research. Electra still doesn't believe that someone like Kuro exists in this world, but this isn't the first time she's found someone like Kuro.

Arthurian. He was the only existence that had much in common with Kuro.

Meanwhile somewhere else, a girl starts to get up and has no interest in Kuro and Charl fighting anymore.

"Mr princess?"

The man wearing thick armor was a little surprised, but he understood the reason the girl left.

"I thought the fight would be more interesting, but it's still boring."

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

"Why are you looking at me like that? You can also guess the outcome of this fight right?"

".....The Witch Reaper will win, right"

"Why are you supporting him? He's gonna lose. Have you forgotten what I said all along?"

"No. I didn't forget at all. It's just..."

"Then don't make me repeat it. 'Winning and losing are doomed before the fight even begins. The weak will lose and the strong will win. That's the law in this world'."

"...I'm sorry, Princess"

The amorous man immediately lowered his head. While the girl haughtily walked out of the room.

The girl's goal was the 10 times larger training arena that Kuro and Charl had fought. It was there that about 70 disciples prepared to face the girl.

"....Fu fu's.."

The girl only smiled faintly as she looked at her training opponents who were mostly S rank magicians.

Coupled with the number of magic beasts, the number of enemies was now 100 more people. Even so, the girl still fought with a sadistic smile.

Back to the duel.

"My reason for fighting? ..why are you asking such a stupid question?"

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

"I fight because I want to. That's all."

For selfishness. That was the reason Kuro had been fighting all this time.

He doesn't care what happens in this world. He fights if he has to fight. No less and no more.

"Aren't you fighting to prove your love?"

"Hm? Thats cute. I don't have to do such a troublesome thing. He already knows I love him, so why should I prove it?"

It was then that Kuro glanced at Laila with the same gaze as when the duel had yet to begin. A pitiful and disappointed look.

"So isn't there a reason to fight? Why don't you just give up?"

Hearing that, Kuro smiled like a sinister demon.

"Rush up? Why should I give up?"

"You're really troublesome. If you surrender, this duel will be over and you're not per-"

"Do you want me to hand it over?"

".......Yep. You're smart."

But Kuro wouldn't do that. He had good reason not to lose to Charl.

"It's a pity, but I'm not giving it up. Did you forget who I was?"

Kuro is a Witch Reaper who is known to kill 200 knights, but-

"I didn't forget that, Witch Reaper."

"Ha ha. I think there's nothing more to talk about between us Charl. No, that's not your real name, is it?"

"...........Tch!"

For the first time, Charl looked annoyed and angry.

The turtle who had been silent since then suddenly moved and attacked Kuro with a horizontal slash.

With strength remaining, Kuro fended off with a horizontal slash, but he instantly bounced onto the shield wall.

"?!"

Charl was shocked when he realized Kuro was smiling faintly before his body hit the wall.

Kuro gathers almost no energy left and tries to get up. His body trembled and was covered in blood, but he managed to get up by leaning his body against the shield.

It was at that moment that Kuro looked at the already darkening sky.

(It's urgent, if it goes on like this ..I.).

Kuro realized he had to end this fight immediately.

But he doesn't have much energy anymore. He also felt pain all over his body.

(I think I should use it.)

Kuro smiled faintly then looked at Charl who looked angry.

"Charl."

"? was?Whatchu mean?"

"You don't have much mana, so you must have saved it to use sacred magic art, right?"

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

"I actually have something like that. Easy to use trump card. So why don't we just end it with our strongest attack?"

Hearing the crazy idea, Charl smiled.

"Do you know what you're saying? If I use my full strength, you will die. You're not that stupid?"

"Don't worry. I am the winner in this duel. I'm a Witch Reaper anyway."

"Don't joke in a situation like this! I refrained from killing you and now you're asking me to use my full strength? Look, if I use my full strength, the chances of you surviving death are only 1%. Only a miracle can save you."

That's true and makes sense for most people, but for Kuro it's-

"Miracle? I don't need that."

Kuro straightened his body and stood up straight.

"I don't believe in miracles, because miracles can only be made by my own strength. That's my life principle."

"Good words. I've heard that before, but I can't believe I heard that from you."

"That's it. Let's just end it. I will use my last strength in the next attack. And that's when you lose and become a loser."

"The loser is you!!"

"We'll see, coward."

Charl looks angry and starts to run out of patience.

While Kuro smiled faintly for successfully provoking Charl.

"I'm not a peng-"

"A coward is a coward. Do you think you can win the Battle War with your current abilities?"

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

Charl immediately clenched his hands and gnashed his teeth.

He knew Battle War was a fight that did not only rely on strength alone. Even though he was a Divine Contractor and an SSS rank yet within Battle War all of that was meaningless.

That was the reason why he had to make Laila his partner in Battle War later.

"Charl, prove you deserve to be with Laila by beating me. If not, I can't let it go."

"............Uh?"

"But your current strength is not enough to defeat me, so give up!"

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

Charl was silent for a moment, yet he smiled then laughed loudly.

So this is a test?

"Bwa ha hahahaha... Stop kidding Kuro. Haha... Have you forgotten your current situation? You are really stupid!"

Everyone watching this duel thought the same as Charl. Kuro will lose.

Kuro's ability to keep rising is both incredible and insane, but given Kuro's current state, to win against Charl is impossible.

"No. Brother Kuro is not stupid. He's gonna win."

"Why do you insist on saying that?" Knox said after getting up. "I know you're defending him because you're his sister, but can't you see the reality in front of your eyes?"

"Knox, you're the one who can't see the truth."

Suddenly Jinn also rose up, but blood was still dripping from her nose.

"What do you mean?"

Knox began to look annoyed at Jinn's words. He doesn't understand why Jinn and Yui always say Kuro will win.

"alright. I-i understand. I will win against you and prove that I deserve to be Laila's partner, you idiot!! Don't blame it if you die, but maybe by dying, your stupidity can disappear!"

"?!"

Laila's eyes widened as Charl decided to use sacred magic to end this duel.

"Tch!"

Otome could only show an annoyed expression when she could not contact Electra with communication magic.

He wanted to cancel the duel between Charl and Kuro because arguably their duel had already exceeded the limit and broke the rules. But the most important thing was that he did not want his disciple to die.

The dueling system could be canceled by the teachers, but this time Otome could not undo it. The only one who can do all this is Electra.

(Mother Electra, what are you thinking?) 

Otome did not know, but he knew if this duel continued, bad things would happen soon.

"I'm glad to hear that, Charl."

At first glance Kuro's gaze looked as blank as before, but this time it was completely different. The immense pressure and killing intent felt from Kuro's gaze.

But what was even more surprising was that his eyes were slowly starting to turn white.

"?!"

Unexpectedly, Charl stepped back by himself.

For the first time in his life to see such a demonic and bloodthirsty gaze. The gaze of the eyes that could make people would immediately see the god of death (Reaper) in front of them.

Meanwhile, Laila was shocked for another reason. Why did Kuro have the same eyes as the young man in his dream?

The Eyes of Origin. Eyes that can see all the truth in the world.

Kuro, who are you?

"Sister Kuro ....kill him!!"

"""?!"""

Yui suddenly said a creepy thing and a scary thin smile.

The two of them now seem to show the strength and dark side of the most feared clan, the Blad clan.

The gripping aura also began to be felt in the duel which was a sign that the fight was coming to an end.

A strong wind suddenly blew along with lightning that broke the calm.

It was a sign that the god of death was beginning to show his true strength.

---++

"Hmmm...?"

Riana was attracted to Kuro's data which showed her power status.

Normally the data will show the status of speed, strength, technique, durability and so on. That data will later be used as a basis for determining the rank of a witch or non-magician.

But the data in the panel shows [UKNOWN].

"Aunt Electra, why is Kuro's data all blank?"

Riana asked about the strangeness of the data.

"Ahhh. I accidentally didn't fill it."

"Eh? Why?""

"Of course because it's useless to fill it. Data's changing too fast, so I decided not to fill it."

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

"Learn is the ability to transform experience into power. That's why he's so strong. He traveled the world and fought fighters all over the world, then created a blade art capable of killing witches like us. Isn't that amazing?"

Riana now understood the reason why Kuro was so strong that he was able to become a Dragon Tamer.

Riana nodded her sign in agreement.

"But Learn isn't just that. Look at that data!"

Riana looked at the data on the other panel. The panel contained data on the Shadow Knight members, but there was also data on two twin girls, Alva and Alvi.

"It's....?"

"That's another ability to learn. Kuro is able to make the abilities of people around him increase rapidly. Can you see the data on the twins?"

"Now they're A-ranked. Not long ago, C. Their increase is too rapid and abnormal."

"Yes. Although it was not an official rank, but the data was accurate. But what's more mysterious than Kuro is the ability of his eyes?"

"The eye?"

"I've seen once when Kuro's eyes change color. At first I thought it was some kind of magic eye, but it wasn't one of those magic eyes I knew."

"..."

Kuro's existence is increasingly a mystery.

In the end Electra sighed as if giving up.

A Paladin managed to be made dizzy with just its existence. Kuro is creepy.

It was at that moment that Riana grew interested and finally saw another data about Kuro.

The data was in the form of a mission Kuro had completed.

Missions are also distinguished in several levels. The level that had the highest difficulty was rated S, and almost all of the missions that Kuro completed were S rank.

"If Kuro can complete all of these missions, doesn't he actually have the power equivalent to a rank mage"

Electra just smiled thinly. She did not refute Riana's words that realized Kuro's true power if Kuro was a witch.

That was what proved how important Kuro's existence in this world was.

At the same time, in the dueling arena.

The wind suddenly blew violently flying the leaves. Kuro and Charl's hair was blown by the wind violently and messily.

Although the shield could withstand magic, it was actually translucent against the wind.

"Kuro, please don't die, to be honest I don't want to be hated by Laila."

Charl smiled happily. He did not seem to hesitate to use his true strength to all who watched their duel.

He will prove his strength by killing Kuro and winning this duel.

"We show you our true strength, BYAKKURAAA!!"

Roooaaaaarrr...

Responding to Charl's wishes, Byakkura roared loudly. His roar was loud enough to make the audience cover his ears.

As for Kuro, he just smiled and drew his sword to the side. Despite being severely injured, Kuro still exerts a strong and dangerous pressure.

He'll survive Charl's attack, that's his way of proving that he's the Witch Reaper. The Witch Reaper.

Not inferior to Kuro, Charl's pressure also increased.

It was at that moment that the two Byakura swords shone and a red line appeared throughout the sword. The Byaktura Sword then shattered like a glass into dozens of pieces.

The turtle had thrown away his sword.

But it was not a sign of him giving up, it was a sign that an actual attack was just beginning.

The piece of sword did not fall down and floated into two circles in front of the Byaktura. The circle glowed and then a magic circle appeared.

In the center of the magic circle appeared a white light that was growing bigger.

At the same time, the wind flow around them became strange.

"Once you look, you're creating plasma. It was a powerful attack, but-"

"Tch..."

Kuro instantly knew the weakness of Charl's sacred magic art with just a single look. It makes Charl look upset.

"Don't worry, I won't run away. Attack me with everything you've got, Charl."

"Kuh.."

Charl is really upset by Kuro.

All sacred magic arts have the same weaknesses. The stronger and more complicated the sacred magic art, the longer the activation of the sacred magic art.

In addition to controlling the activation process requires concentration and 'where' which amount is not small.

In this case, the contractor-type magician was slightly superior when compared to the User-type since the control task could be divided by the magic beast.

If Kuro attacked while Charl was gathering strength, Kuro would win.

This was one of the reasons why magic schools enacted a pairing system. In addition to training cooperation with different magicians, pairing up is one way to overcome the weaknesses of each type of magician.

Unfortunately this does not apply to Master-ranked magicians who master Limit Break or Breaker.

"I didn't expect this duel to continue. What was Otome thinking?"

Knox could only comment while looking at the expanding plasma forming a cannon.

Charl's attack was a cannon-like long-range type with a power equivalent to the Holy Demonic Class dragon's Laser Breath. It was an unsuitable force used in a narrow room.

But Charl had no other choice. He has to do this.

"Just calm. Kuro is still a winner."

"You're quiet. Why did you say Kuro would win, Jinn? Are you afraid of losing a bet?"

"Of course not. I know Kuro is the Witch Reaper. That's why he's gonna win. You're too focused on logic, which is why you can't see what's in front of you."

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

Jinn's right. Knox always acts on the basis of logic. That was the reason why he had such a hard time accepting the fact Kuro was a Witch Reaper.

"As Yui said, Kuro is at his weakest, but he is still able to fight Charl who is an SSS magician who is tens of times stronger than us. Are you unconscious too?"

"?!"

Knox's eyes widened in shock, but at the same time he realized that Jinn's words were true.

"In addition, Kuro managed to win against the 200-man Knight. Even though it happened two years ago, you should realize that Kuro's power must have increased greatly since then. And did you forget that he was going to use a Trump Card. Trump Card Witch Reaper, I really want to see it."

Knox's face instantly turned deathly pale. He broke out in a cold sweat then turned his head towards Yui who was focused on seeing the duel.

"Knox, you said the person who killed 200 Knights two years ago was a Master rank mage or Paladin. My ku... Now want to ask you, if a witch, brother Kuro will get what rank?"

"?!"

While Knox panicked and could not believe the reality he knew, Charl's sacred magic art had already reached full power.

A two-meter-long white ball with a tentacle-like light that rotated clockwise right in front of the Byaktura.

The white ball also provides a light that makes it attract the attention of people from outside the school because it can shine white light from Kuryuu Academy.

As for the students of Kuryuu Academy school, the strong and great mana pressure was felt throughout the entire school and made the duel even more have a large audience.

"Receive this!! sacred magic art, Plasma Cannon Breath"

Roooooaaarrrrrr.

The tortoise roared and shot a straight white light towards Kuro at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

"Kurou!!"

Laila screamed out Kuro's name as she saw the Plasma Cannon Breath speeding towards Kuro. As powerful as Kuro is, he can't possibly survive the attack.

But-but

Without anyone noticing, Kuro smiled faintly right before the Plasma Cannon Breath lunged at his body.

"Accell Blade Art - -"

Shortly before touching Kuro, the Plasma Cannon Breath suddenly began to shrink and eventually disappeared without rest.

"Magic Eater Blade!!"

Kuro's body was still intact, but what shocked people was how could Charl's attack disappear?

The whole audience became silent. Is it possible for Charl to cancel his attack before touching Kuro? But that's impossible, Charl's attack is the type that can't be undone.

Unlike the others, Laila was not very concerned about what happened to Charl's attack. But he was more concerned with Kuro's state of being able to survive.

That's when he realized. There was a white aura enveloping Kuro's body as well as his white sword blade.

That white aura was the same aura that Yui exuded when facing Laila. One thing is certain, it is not 'where' which is the source of magic.

"Knox, do you now understand the rank Kuro gets if a witch. Kuro's sister is the only ordinary person with a rank-"

""Master""

""?!""

Not only Knox, at the same time Riana's eyes widened after knowing Kuro's true abilities.

Ordinary person with Master rank. That's Kuro.

He was an existence that should not exist in this world. Kuro is Irregular.

And everyone who watched the duel now knew it.

"Impossible, how could-"

Charl could only widen his eyes when he saw that Kuro was still intact. He even stepped back by himself.

"Magic Eater Blade is a Blade art that absorbs all the magic that is wind and fire element. Don't you think you're the only one who can manipulate the wind here, Charl."

Charl realized Kuro's intentions. Plasma is created by controlling the wind. Kuro must have done the opposite, absorbing the wind with the help of his sword. But when? No, exactly is he enough time to do that?

Charl doesn't understand. He panicked and began to be unable to think calmly.

"By-Turtle!!"

Now he didn't have much 'where' left, so he could only make melee attacks.

But-but

"Sorry, Char. Now it's my turn to show the meaning ability of the real Witch Reaper name."

"?!"

Charl immediately widened his eyes. He understood Kuro would use his trump card.

But he can't lose, so-

"Turtle, Wind Ball!"

The tortoise attacked Kuro using dozens of wind balls fired from his mouth.

(Like sacred magic art, trump card he must need a lot of time. Besides he has fended off the Plasma Cannon Breath, I believe it took him longer to use the trump card. That's my chance.)

Charl's thinking isn't wrong, but-

"?!"

The ball of wind only hit the shield wall and Kuro suddenly vanished.

Charl immediately turned his head in all directions, but he did not find Kuro's figure.

"Charl, thank you for showing me your strongest attack."

"?!"

Not only Charl, everyone was shocked when they saw Kuro on top of the shield in an inverted position. Not only that, he even took the position of a horse as a sign that he would use blade art.

"In exchange, I will show you the power I used to kill knights two years ago."

At the same time the white aura on Kuro's body increased and turned red as it mixed with blood.

And-and

"Cursed blade art -"

After saying that, Kuro's figure suddenly vanished like being swallowed by the earth.

A second later, Kuro suddenly appeared with an aura that had disappeared with the sword ready to be sheathed.

"...Reaper Witch!"

What the hell's going on?

Everyone asks the same thing. But Kuro simply fell silent and sheathed his sword casually.

"Sister Kuro won."

"Yeah!"

""?""

Yui and Jinn looked delighted, while Laila and Knox were merely dumbfounded. All were stupefied and became silent. They all don't know what to react to and don't know what's really going on.

Meanwhile, over the arena.

"Is that your strongest attack? Disappear and show up again?"

Kuro turned to Charl and replied,

"....Sure didn't. Too bad I can't kill you, Charl. No, I think I should call you.... Charlia. Aren't we?"

"?! Wh-why are you bi- ?"

Charl is surprised not to play when Kuro calls himself Charlia. He tried to point at Kuro, but he couldn't move his hand.

At the same time, he finally realized that his hand had been cut off and was bleeding a large amount.

Unfortunately, it's just the beginning. Charl fell to the floor as his two arms and two legs were cut off without him noticing.

"Gaaaaaaahhhh!!"

Shouts rang out in the arena breaking the silence, but more onlookers were girls shouting hysterically.

Now the surroundings of the duel arena became noisy with screams, but that was not only Kuro the Witch Reaper's surprise.

The tortoise suddenly cut into dozens of pieces and slowly disappeared. At the same time the floor of the duel arena was shattered into pieces like the former tens of slashes.

And what was most surprising was that the shields that were shattered fell like pieces of glass and disappeared slowly into particles.

Silence was instantly created when they saw the incident before their eyes.

Is this the power of a Witch Reaper?

The power that was able to kill someone unconsciously had already been killed?

At that moment all who were watching the duel were aware. Near them, ..there is a god of death.
