The Elemental Sword Demon King
Chapter 1: The First Meeting
In the quiet forest where the sunlight shone through the dense foliage. The blowing wind made the atmosphere around the forest not too hot.
With the sound of spirits flying around, the sound of water echoed through the trees quite faintly. A teenage boy opened his mouth wide in surprise and stood still.
He saw a beautiful girl in front of his eyes half-naked. Moreover, the girl flushed her body with river water that looks cold and soothing.
Splashes
The girl had large eyes with pomegranate red pupils and moist cherry red lips. Her white skin was as smooth as milk and also dazzling. Her slender and beautiful legs disappeared beneath the rippling surface of the water.
But what caught his attention more than anything else was his red hair that lit up like fire. Her hair looked soaked that it stuck to her beautiful body like porcelain.
The teenager, who goes by the name Kaizo, felt cold sweat begin to form on his back. The most important part of his brain must have told him to run. However, his body did not want to move. It was as if he was fascinated by that all-too-real scene.
Her moist and beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at the intruder that had appeared all of a sudden. His expression was immediately empty. It seems that he has not fully understood the situation. He had not even covered his small chest and was still developing.
Tick
A drop of water soaked her hair, falling from the young girl's bangs. With the sound of the water droplets, Kaizo's consciousness was forcefully pulled back.
"You.." murmured Kaizo who stumbled over his words. He then turned his eyes away from the half-naked girl who was still standing motionless.
Kaizo rubbed the back of his head. "I think I should say, this was a big accident? This must have been an unfortunate accident for both of us."
At this time, Kaizo made two fatal mistakes.
The first was that he started tripping by making unreasonable excuses. The best choice he had to take should be to take advantage of the fact that the girl was confused and immediately ran away.
And the other mistake was that he said things he shouldn't have said. It was a mistake that made him fall into the worst condition.
"Despite this accident, I've seen you like this." Kaizo spoke with a flushed face, then lowered his head. "I have to apologize."
To this day, he is still fine. What he said was nothing wrong, but what matters is what he said next.
"You don't have to worry. I am a healthy boy. Of course I don't have such interests." Kaizo glanced towards the chest of the young girl who was in front of him. "I'm not interested in a child's body."
He eventually stepped on a giant landmine and dug his own grave. The ice-cold silence fell until the cool breeze they could not feel back.
The girl slowly raised her arm and red hair wrapped her length down. His shoulders are shaking a little. It was not that he was cold, but Kaizo was unaware of that important fact.
"Sixteen.." the girl's thin red smooth lips muttered something strange and Kaizo raised her eyebrows upwards. "I'm-I'm sixteen!"
As soon as the young girl shouted out her sentence, her red hair stood up. The red flames swirled around him to make the water covering part of his body evaporate.
Huh uh?
Kaizo opened his eyes wide in surprise at what the young girl said. "Sixteen years!? Really? A sixteen year old boy with a chest that washes—!?"
Kaizo quickly shut her mouth saying what she was thinking, but it was too late.
"I can't be forgiven" said the young girl in a low and cold voice. "Je-obviously can't be forgiven! You devil peepers, perverts, lewd beasts!"
At this moment, Kaizo suddenly felt a bad feeling coming at him. He then noticed that the surrounding trees were making low rustles like terrifying whispers.
Whoosh
"What is wind?" kaizo murmured, thinking about where the wind was coming from. Shortly after, he realized something. "No! This is not wind. This...!?"
"The power of red fire, the keeper of the fire that never goes out! Now is the time for you to abide by our blood contract, come forward and do my bidding!"
From the young girl's lips came a spell in tongues. Along with the sound of air flowing into void space, a whip made of fire emerged from the void and landed in the girl's hand.
"A «Elementalist»!"
The elementalist in question is a user of the element that exists in the world, more precisely the girl who has made a contract with the spirit that lives in that other world. They can use different types of spirits and freely use their powers.
Just like what the girl in front of Kaizo did. He had contracted an aggressive fire-type spirit. The fact that the young girl was an Elementalist was not something surprising. After all, this was an area where great Elementalists from other countries gathered.
(It was surprising that he could use the extremely hard-to-learn «Ether» to awaken the true power of the elements and the spirit itself.)
The way spirits are summoned and shaped after coming into this world can be divided into two main groups. The first is a form that appears as a wisp of sacred power, massless and in an indeterminate form.
It is purely a summoning of spirit power and is used primarily as a catalyst when spirit magic is used. The other form of summoning is the purest form that summons a part of the existence of the spirit itself.
This summoning required a large amount of holy power from the body. And on top of that, they are very difficult to control if they do not have high magic control. Thus, those who were able to summon spirit existences were said to be elites among the Elementalist ranks.
Furthermore, the girl before his eyes was currently not only using spirit power, but she was also using that power in Ether which was highly optimized for its use.
"Am I now in a life or death situation?" kaizo murmured as the thought suddenly hit him hard like reality.
Where the «Cambip Api» he held touched the surface of the water, a burst of white steam rose upwards. Meanwhile, the young girl was still looking at him with a very angry look on her face.
"You've got the guts to come here!" the girl muttered with a trembling voice and a face expression that was as red as a tomato.
(His face is red. Was it because of his anger or his embarrassment over this situation? I dare not ask him about this.)
"really...! Y-you dared to peek while I was, Victoria Blade was taking a bath!" the girl said with a stutter.
Kaizo shook his head in panic. "Wait a minute, this is all a misunderstanding! Let me explain it completely first."
"I won't hear your excuses that are just nonsense! Turn into ashes, you pervert!" the girl shouted with a fiercely burning fire whip in her hand and moved as if the water covering a part of her body was non-existent.
"Damn!" kaizo complained while pushing his body into the thick bushes nearby.
Whoosh
Srash
Almost at the same time, a fire whip swept over his head. The red sparks left on the trees that had been cut down, looked like paper to him.
The surface of the tree trunk that was cut was very smooth and without any burn scars. The attack was so fast that the fire had no time to ignite the other trees to burn.
The hair on Kaizo's forehead, burned in half and fluttered around his mouth. Meanwhile, cold sweat began to form on his forehead with a panic that he had never felt before.
"It's a joke, isn't it? I'm not gonna die like this, am I?" Kaizo nervously muttered and was thinking of a way to get out of this condition.
There was an endless dance of red flashes of fire that cut both horizontally and vertically within the forest. The surrounding bushes were slashed down in the blink of an eye. After losing his protection, Kaizo hurriedly ran away.
"Don't dodge, pervert!" call the girl while turning her whip. "I can't burn you!"
"Don't ask the impossible! And I'm not a pervert!" Kaizo threw the words back at him and tried to avoid the whip that kept swinging like it drained his life.
Kaizo let his guard down for a moment and at the same time, the whip swung down towards his feet and caused a loud splash to slam him to the ground. Rising from the ground, the whip immediately jumped towards the forest, causing more trees to be cut down.
Fortunately among all the misfortune Kaizo had experienced, the shot of the girl named Victoria was quite bad. This does make sense because one hand hides his chest from being seen.
To hide his most important part, he crouched down inside the pond. However given how well he was able to handle his whip in such a position, he was definitely quite skilled at using it.
"How arrogant despite being perverted." Victoria yelled again at Kaizo. "Please obediently turn to ashes and leave this world!"
"I'm not a pervert! But by the way..." Kaizo stopped and turned around, there was something he had noticed for quite some time. "You have to cover yourself properly. The gap between your fingers can't hide it completely."
Hearing those words, Victoria stopped moving and instantly her facial expression froze. What does Kaizo mean by saying this strange thing?
