The Elemental Sword Demon King

Episode 121: False Assar Rei

(That's another Rei Assar.)

The girl dressed in pure black let out an incredible pressure. Approaching haphazardly will produce ash, this impression is very pronounced.

After the commotion subsided, a painful silence descended. Everyone gulped as they looked at it. As with Victoria, no one approached her. The coldness runs through Kaizo's spine.

(I, can I win against him?)

Before he knew it, the flowing music had stopped. The strongest Sword Style holder stopped in the middle of the hall, and turned around and walked towards him.

"Kaizo's."

Tiana subconsciously grabbed onto Kaizo's sleeves, even Eve who was supposed to make Rei Assar her goal curled up.

Kaizo moved in front of them with a protective attitude.

Rei Assar stopped right in front of Kaizo and said, "So you're Kirigaya Kaizo, yes." Sound similar to solid steel.

"Yes," Kaizo nodded.

"It's nice to meet you, I wonder if it's worth it? Rei Assar's." Licking his lips cynically, he glared at the red mask. However, he could not read any emotions from the red eyes within.

Then he reached out his right hand to the confused Kaizo, he suggested something unexpected.

"Kirigaya Kaizo, will you dance with me for one song?"

(No, this is not a suggestion. It's orders.)

His tone was peaceful, but the rejection of it had a power that did not allow it.

Kaizo turned to Eve and Tiana and said, "Sorry, can't you let me go for a moment?"

"But, Kaizo..."

"OKAY. Eve, let's go." With that, Tiana grabbed Eve's hand. He knows Kaizo's identity as the real Rei Assar. The wise princess had understood the situation.

"Do you have any experience dancing?"

"If it's classic, yes." Kaizo answered sharply and grabbed Rei Assar's hand.

The music show that was temporarily halted began again.

POV: The Victoria Blade

_____________________________________

In the dark forest surrounding the castle, Victoria ran. Various tree branches grabbed the red dress and tore it apart. Mud stuck to his red high heels. Countless wounds appeared on his delicate skin. Regardless of all that, he ran.

(Why?)

No matter how long it passed, the scene would not leave his head. When the dark spirit girl kissed Kaizo, right then and there.

(I-it's not like I thought anything about him!)

As if to dispel that annoying feeling, Victoria shook her head. Just that ignoring her master and doing such a thing with another girl was unforgivable.

(That's right, that's all.)

(But, then why does my heart hurt so much?!)

Just before, holding the man's hand, he hated him. If it was Kaizo, he wouldn't have done anything cruel. She seduces Victoria a lot, always treating her like a child, sometimes saying nasty things.

(But still, he would never do such a thing.)

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the lake from the purification that afternoon. Within the silent forest, many spirits floated above the lake bathed in moonlight.

Victoria hugged her knees and sat by the lake. The dress she prepared was dirty and after all she could not return to the dance. Her hair was disheveled and her dress was broken beyond repair.

"What's wrong with him, you idiot!" With an extremely miserable mood, Victoria sighed with a light plop, tears started to fall to the ground.

"That's wrong. The fool is me."

He can't be honest anymore. If so, she can dance with Kaizo now.

At that time from within the forest, footsteps could be heard.

"Kaizo?" He hurriedly wiped away his tears, but what appeared from within the forest was not Kaizo.

"God, how far are you going to run!"

"aura?" Victoria opened her eyes.

Holding her breath, Aura sank beside Victoria. "Well, that's an unsightly appearance."

"You too."

"That's because you ran this far!"

Aura's dress was torn apart and leaves and twigs stuck to her hair.

"Even though I've just put on a new shirt," she lowered her shoulders.

Victoria averted her eyes and muttered, "What did you come for?"

"I came to laugh at your pitiful chest. Your dress is too flashy."

"What are you saying!" His red ponytail stood upright like fire.

Aura moved her hair upwards and sneered, "You're finally back to normal." With a brilliant smile.

"Hidden!"

"Gee!" Victoria bit her lips and replied, "that, it's her fault. Because he didn't tell me anything."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, that, are you not interested in Kaizo's past?"

"Kaizo's past?" Aura tilted her head slightly to the side and replied to Victoria's words, "well, it's a lie to say that I'm not."

"I wonder if he doesn't trust me." Victoria's ponytail droops.

"Why did you say it?"

"Because he won't tell me anything."

"He can't force himself to tell you because you're important to him, that's also a possibility."

"That's..." Victoria pouted and pondered, "i, I wonder if it's true."

(There is also a way to interpret it.)

"But, you really are like a child."

"In-Silence!" Victoria groaned, "even I understand very well."

But he's nervous, so how else. If it was about someone he didn't care about, he wouldn't have these feelings. Since Kaizo wasn't talking about his past, he then noticed it just now and his heart skipped a beat.

(H-What kind of stupid thing are you thinking, me!) His cheeks were red.

"Victoria, what's wrong?"

"That's okay!" Victoria shook her head from side to side.

Then, as their conversation progressed, suddenly from the direction of the bushes within the forest came a voice that he had known recently.

"Hmm, so you two are here."

"That sound?!"

Victoria and Aura immediately became wary. The sound of trees falling down one by one, and the girl appeared that time.

"Perfect, I'll play with you till the end,"

In front of the two, a gigantic black monster appeared. Riding on her back was a girl with gray hair, Mia Vialine laughed lightly.

"With this spirit of annihilation, Tiamat."

POV: Kirigaya Kaizo

_____________________________________

The waltz is played elegantly. The two danced in the middle of the hall attracting attention from all around them. By leading Rei Assar, his dance was intense like a flame.

Just like when a girl's daughter performs an offering ritual, a true ceremonial dance. With that smooth movement, Kaizo could barely keep up with it.

"Super good movement. As expected of the Master Holder of the Strongest Sword Style."

"Is that sarcasm? The holder of the Strongest Sword Style, Rei Assar," to the whisper from the red mask, Kaizo replied like that.

Rei Assar quickly shifted his legs. Kaizo followed in his footsteps and pulled him towards himself. They changed like flickering flames.

Both left their bodies for music. Their dance has become one without grandeur. It had already become like a simulation of a ferocious sword force.

"I have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

"I can't wait, huh? Even so, I want to enjoy this dance with you a little longer."

"sorry. I'll ask you to let me lead from here." Kaizo drew Rei Assar's hand and led him to the terrace without anyone else.

The cool night air cools their burned skin. Due to its large size, the terrace feels like a floating island with a clear view of the entire forest.

"Let's stop all disruptive strategies. I'll get to the point." Kaizo stopped dancing and parted ways with her.

He glared at the red mask and asked, "What did you do to Alicia?"

"What are you doing, you mean?"

"Don't mess around. I know you're ruling Alicia."

"I didn't rule him. He's my friend."

"You mean Alicia helped you out of her own free will?"

"That's right, I used him and he used me."

Kaizo bit her lip shut, (i can't accept that, but.).

There must be credibility in it. It seemed that Alicia was actually moving without being told. Kaizo's warning about Mia was probably done of her own accord as well.

"What is your purpose in gathering military spirits and orphans from the Instructional School?"

And he immediately replied, "For war."

"War?!" Kaizo muttered and fell silent.
