The Useless 8th Prince
Kuro no Ume
That figure had the appearance of half a monster. His left hand was replaced with a demon claw that was lined with a black colored exoskeleton. Both of his legs were like that too. On his back, there were four wings that looked like dragonfly wings.
Notice clearly his appearance. That figure was originally a handsome young man. But now that his face looked pale, his left eye was covered with eye-patch. The shoulder-length hair was jet black and disheveled. Iris green eyes that looked indifferent and cruel. Even black color also color her eye bags.
In contrast to Ciel's appearance that changed due to the use of magic, while the figure's appearance was genuine. In other words, all parts of his body had indeed changed.
“I barely recognize you .. Louie.”
Yes, that figure is Louie Zevirrius. The young man who once came to see him to deliver a message from Prince Eoran. Ciel was very surprised to see his appearance so changed. From the figure of the humble youth, to the figure of a monster that exuded an aura of death around him like.
Hearing Ciel's words, Louie looked at the young man.
“You ..”
The cold and deep voice of the youth sounded in Ciel's ears. The lazy prince slowly opened the black mask that covered his face. He who usually seemed indifferent smiled gently.
“I can't believe your heart is so fragile that it sacrifices your own body and soul .. Louie.”
“Luciel Dawnbringer ..”
Louie mutters. After a moment of silence, the young man suddenly laughed. Gazing towards Ciel, he grinned with a crazy expression on his face.
“Do you see it now, Luciel! LOOKATME! PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS CONSIDERED TRASH …
NOW IT POSSESSES A POWER EQUIVALENT TO THE GENIUS PRINCE OF THE BLACK SUN EMPIRE!!!”
Seeing how crazy Louie looks, Ciel re-wears his mask. Sighing silently.
“I feel guilty for what happened to you, Louie.”
Ciel said that sincerely. He used to think of Louie as a good young man. Didn't expect that figure to have such a fragile heart. Really consumed with envy and hate in his heart to choose a path like this.
“I should thank you, Luciel! If I don't get out of Zevirrius’s the damned Duchy and come to you …
I'm not going to be like this! I'm not this strong! I will not be the head of the Zevirrius Family as well as the General of the Curses of Shadow!”
“...”
Hearing that, Ciel did not feel happy at all. Instead, the young man sighed, looking a little regretful.
“You are crazy,” said Ciel calmly.
“Which ruler is not crazy?! King Wade killed his own father? Daylen, my brother tried to finish me off? Or ... You slaughtered tens or even hundreds of thousands of knights?
I asked ... WHICH ONE IS NOT CRAZY!!!”
“Your answer is not wrong.” Ciel isn't mad if Louie thinks he's crazy. “It was your choice ... I won't interfere.”
“HAHAHAHA!!!I'm glad you understand, Luciel!”
“I understand. All of that is a choice. Also each choice leads each creature to its own path. You chose that path, and I chose this path.
Opposite paths.”
“Are you sure, Luciel? This whole thing has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way!”
“Didn't I have told you before?” Ciel tilted his head. “Sorry, this road is closed.”
“LUCIEL DAWNBRINGER!!!”
Louie and Ciel's figure disappeared from its place. The two appeared with two wings wide open and facing each other. Louie swung her left hand, while Ciel swung her right. The two demon claws collided, then …
BLARR!!!
Explosion sounded. The figure of Ciel and Louie are equally backward.
On Louie's side, his claws were coated in a bit of ice, but evaporated in a few moments. Instead, Ciel looked at his ice claws which were quite damaged due to the impact of the poison.
“Are you surprised, Luciel? This is the power of the Dark Heart Worm!”
Hearing Louie's remark, Ciel muttered, “So so ..”
Dark Heart Worm, an ancient Demonic Beast that was a liver parasite. Besides being famous for absorbing the vitality of its host to grow. The creature is famous for its venom that can destroy many other creatures.
But the experiment was crazier. Using the Dark Heart Worm to modify the heart, making the figure possess a powerful poison ability. In addition, it also modifies other body parts in order to become stronger. Yeah ... it's really a terrible thing to survive such a crazy experiment.
“Isn't that painful?”
“HAHAHAHA! Isn't that worth the price? Although feeling the whole body hurts because the blood flowing in the body contains powerful toxins .. This is all worth it!”
Ciel and Louie disappear from their place.
A BANG! A BANG! A BANG!
After punching three times in a row, Ciel knew his ice was completely outmatched by Louie's poison power. However, he did not intend to use fire magic.
Not because Ciel was arrogant, but it was because of one of the harmful effects of the Dark heart Worm. If burned at high temperatures, the creature would explode. If it just explodes, it's not a problem.
What was the problem was the impact after the explosion. After exploding, the creature will spread its poison to the surrounding area. A powerful poison that could easily kill a level 4 demon and injure a level 5 demon quite badly.
While after joining Louie as well as the other experimental creatures, Ciel believed the poison could severely injure a level 5 or 6 demon. Poisoning is severe to the point of making them also face death if not treated immediately.
What made Ciel worry if using an attack like Black Sakura was the impact of an explosion that would probably reach the Capital and kill everyone there.
“Stop dreamy, Luciel!!!”
Screaming loudly, Louie swung the scythe in her right hand. Dozens of green-colored energy blades containing powerful poison instantly flew towards Luciel.
A BANG! A BANG! A BANG!
Ciel managed to dodge most of the energy blades, but some still hit it. Only, the priest could still hold back with claws and ice wings. Knowing that the battle was too long and left him confused because of the many possibilities and thoughts, Ciel decided to immediately end the battle.
One chance ... just one chance.
Thinking of that, Ciel suddenly canceled the ice magic and instead pulled two katanas on his waist. Focusing towards Louie who attacked him ferociously and crazily, the young man continued to dodge and fend off his opponent's attacks.
When Louie made a slight mistake as he fended off his entire attack, Ciel immediately made a decision. Inhaling a deep breath, the young man's expression calmed down.
“Sen no Hana ..”
Ciel disappeared from his place and appeared far behind Louie.
“Blood Saxifrage.”
As Ciel's voice echoed, Louie's body stopped moving. His entire body was directly coated with ice. It was completely frozen in place. However …
Before Ciel felt relieved, the entire ice covering Louie's body cracked. A second later, the figure managed to come out.
“Huh!” Louie grunted coldly.
Although the attack nearly froze him to death, Louie was completely still able to survive. The young man then held a scythe with both hands. Opening the wings that were almost broken from freezing, he flew while spinning at high speed.
“Poisonous Emerald Windstorm!!!”
A green wind appeared. The poisonous wind destroyed the grass where he passed by.
Looking at the typhoon, Ciel looked calm. Instead of panicking, the young man raised the corner of his lips.
At that moment, Louie suddenly saw a strange sight. Around the vortex of wind were millions of black petals that floated and came in swirling around the whirlwind. Not the petals of cherry blossoms with curved ends with the shape of a heart, but other forms.
Staring with a cold expression, Ciel muttered.
“Sen no Hana ..”
Countless flower petals swirled, turning into black tornadoes that were many times larger than green tornadoes. Destroying the green vortex of wind then swallowing Louie into it.
Looking at the black vortex of wind that swallowed him, Louie suddenly felt an extreme chill. Unable to move, all he could do was hear an indifferent voice. The last voice he heard in his life.
“Kuro no Ume (Black Plum Blossom).”
By the time the voice fell, the world instantly became silent. Black tornado disappears …
Only the figure of a handsome young man standing under the empty sky and the meadow had frozen completely.
