The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 159: The Final Result of the Fight
POV: The Victoria Blade

"No way, Miss Viona!?" Yuri El Cid. The holy power he felt coming from not too far away had stopped.
"Seeing far in the middle of battle? We're really underrated."
The momentary opening was provided by the dragon knight scales like iron. Victoria wouldn't let it slip though a little. Swinging his Flame Whip, he dropped his enemy's spear from his hand.
"Basic shit!"
"Flame!"
The flaming whip instantly turned into a hellish Salamander and attacked.
Yuri kicked the ground and retreated by shouting, "We stop the hunt. Back off!"
"Miss Yuri!?"
"Miss Viona lost."
"What?!" The color of the Dragon Emperor Knight's face changed instantly. But as natural-born soldiers, they quickly understood the situation and immediately followed the order, retreating into the forest.

"I won't let you! Frozen fangs, skewers, Frozen Arrows!"
Aura shot out her ice arrow, but it was blocked by the forest trees.
"Kaizo beat Viona?"
"It seems so." Victoria nodded as she looked towards the burning campsite.

POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
"Why don't you take my «Magic Stone»?" Viona who was lying on the blazing ground asked. His crazy red eyes had returned to a calm black.
(It looks like «His Naga» blood has calmed down.)
"I wouldn't say it was a gift for helping me get Nyx back, but..."
Kaizo also fell. It was a much more refined body than he had imagined. His noble face entered his eyes.
"This time I'll forgive you. And I'd rather swing a sword with Viona's original Dragon Knight than one affected by «Dragon»'s blood."
"Naust, no."
"Well, actually I can't even move a finger." Kaizo said it with a wry smile and Viona turned her head with a flushed face.
"As I thought, you're dangerous, in a variety of ways."
"What does that mean? What are these different ways?"
"You are so noisy, you beast!" Viona sent Kaizo flying and standing up. Rage «Dragon»'s blood seems to have eaten up his holy power so he trembled at his feet.
"I won't lose next time, Kirigaya Kaizo."
"Yes, me too. I have no intention of losing."
Viona smiled and disappeared into the fire.
"Kaizo really is a master without loyalty." Hearing Nyx's pouting voice from above, Kaizo fainted.
This time he did not see the dream.

Kaizo wakes up on a stretcher in the tent. Looks like Victoria and the others have found Kaizo unconscious.
Bandages bandaged his wounds here and there. Clumsyly encased are most likely Victorian works.
(Looks like the princesses survived.)
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and got up something wriggled beside him and said, "You still can't move, Kaizo."
"Yep, N-Nyx!"
The fully naked sword spirit quickly lay beside him.
(No, of course there are knee socks covering her legs.)
"Nyxx..."
(If it's me who I used to be, this is where I'll scold him. Well, I'll forgive him for today.)
Kaizo hugged Nyx to herself.
"Fuwa, Ka-Kaizo!?" Nyx's shoulders are shaking. Since he always maintained a cold and expressionless face, it was an interesting action.
"I'm lonely. I won't be angry today so stay with me here." With a wry smile, he carried the blanket over Nyx's small body.
"Kaizo, you're warm..."
While Kaizo's heart was racing, she hugged Nyx's trembling shoulder, "I see, it's because I'm alive."
Under the covers, Nyx told her various things about what happened after she disappeared. About one moment when his «True» body connected with Kaizo.
But soon after, «Gate» has been closed again so he now has a personality separate from the legendary «Demon Killer». Unexpectedly, the holy maiden Sizuan, who was the lost memory of Nyx was currently vague.
Her memories were fragmented, so her memories only really started from when they met about two months ago. Kaizo was confused for a while, but he wanted to.
"After all, it's okay to say that Nyx is Nyx, right?"
"Yes, Kaizo. Understanding is fine."
And as it seemed to be working, he stopped thinking about it deeply.
"Kaizo, do you really not regret it?"
"Of course not. I won't say it twice" Kaizo replied firmly to Nyx's question.
"The cursed demon sword or whatever, Nyx is my sword, from now on and in the future."
"But I'm gonna steal Kaizo's life..."
"Hey, Nyx..." Kaizo. "Nyx currently only has about a tenth of the «Devil Killer» of the past, right?"
"Yes, Kaizo." Nyx nodded from inside her arms.
“So the curse is only one-tenth of the original. If it was just that much, at least at least, I wouldn't have turned into stone during this Sword Style Festival." Kaizo stroking Nyx's hair.
"I didn't join the Sword Style Festival to get the «Wish» granted by the spirit king. But I've found «Want» that I want to fulfill."
(It was to remove the curse of Nyx and make it a true holy sword.)
"Yes, Kaizo. I am your sword, for as long as you want," he said with the same expressionless face, but with great force behind as he hugged her.
And at that moment, the entrance to the tent was opened.
"What!?"
"How shameless!"
"Kaizo, how brave of you."
Eve's jaws, Aura and Tiana gaped. Then, one more person who is always angry for no apparent reason.
"You, what, what are you doing?!" Victoria came closer with a Fire Whip in her hand.
"Tu-wait, Victoria, this..." Kaizo quickly tried to make excuses. Nyx, who was completely naked except from the knees down, stood in front of Victoria with strong intimidation.
"W-what's that?" Victoria faltered in front of her oppressive might.
"Kaizo is my master."
"That's it, it's a matter of you sleeping together!"
"Victoria also slept with Salamander."
"In-he's in animal form so it's okay!"
"I can be a cat."
"Eh?"
"I am Kaizo's sword. The kitten Kaizo. Kaizo toys, no problem. Therefore, Nyx clings to Kaizo."
Victoria shouted with a red face and teary eyes, "Ma-toy, w-what are you saying?!"
"Kaizo said he would accept me in all things."
"W-what's that, Ka-Kaizo is my slave spirit!"
Tiana patted Victoria's frustrated back and said, "Victoria, let Nyx have Kaizo for a day, just for today."
"Kaizo, as I thought, you really like little girls!"
"To put your hands on young girls, that, it needs fixing!"
The glaring Aura and Eve had unsheathed her sword staring at Kaizo with cold eyes.
"It's okay, Kaizo. I'll protect you."
"Please spare me from this sword threat."
First night «Steel Festival» has passed.
