The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 179: Heritage of the Ancient Times
"Your own plan is not bad. But unfortunately, you have underestimated my Nyx!" Shouting, Kaizo inserted his divine power into the Demon Slayer.
"How could this possibly happen!?" The knights shouted in surprise.
Giving off an extremely bright light, the shackles of the elemental aero holding its legs were cut in half.
Holding the holy sword that emitted an incredible dazzling light, Kaizo charged forward. The crowding legion spirits were destroyed as soon as they made contact with the sword aura of the Nyx Rune.
"Damn it, hurry and come back!"
The knight in front of Kaizo frantically tried to turn the legion back into the form of a battle axe, but unfortunately it was too late. Kaizo rushed in front of him and slashed at the knight's stomach.
"Gaaah!" With a loud shout, the knight instantly fainted. However, within the Astral Spirit all the damage caused by the elemental aero beyond what the body can sustain was all turned into psychological pain, hence the girl lost consciousness.
At the same time, the legion like a black cloud disappeared into particles of light.
Stabbing his sword into the ground, the sword had lost its brightness. Kaizo leaned her shoulders on the sword as she gasped for breath, "Haah, huh..."
(It's very tiring.)
The Nyx rune belonged to the strongest elemental class of aero. Therefore, using it in a way just now would exhaust divine power almost instantly.
Deciding that he could not win one on one, the Shackles that wielded knights stepped back quickly. On the other side of the stone, Karmila was currently attacking the knight with a thin sword in a balanced battle.
Holding the sword of light, he fended off the enemies' relentless attacks one by one, producing sparks every time their swords clashed intensely. Karmila's sword skill was definitely not mediocre.
Within the Academy, his skill level would definitely reach the highest marks. Yet on the stage of this Sword Style Festival where the top grade elementals gathered, his strength seemed a little inadequate in comparison.
In terms of abilities as an elementalist, the opponent was clearly superior to him. Using his body that still could not stand upright, Kaizo raised the sword in his hand. However, the Demon Slayer could only emit a faint light.
"Obviously your strength is exhausted, male elementalist."
"Hmph, as if you knew about my Nyx!" Forcing his unsteady body, Kaizo starts running to help Karmila.
"Your plan won't work, Shackles of the Criminal!" The knight removed a set of shackles chained from his hands.
Kaizo jumped to dodge, but the shackles were only red net fish. Another set of shackles released from the opposite direction got stuck in Kaizo's right arm.
"You no longer have the strength to break away from the Shackles now!"
In an instant the Kaizo movement came to a halt. The other knights who had fought Karmila rushed over.
"Kaizo!"
"All I need is one hand." Replying to Karmila's cry with a smile, Kaizo switched to using his sword with his left hand.
It was the left hand in a jet black leather glove. He could feel the stinging pain from Alicia's spirit seal.
"It's unfortunate for you, but I'll beat you."
With one hand snagged by the Shackles, Kaizo kicked the ground. Using one leg as a shaft to rotate his body, he attacked with a counterattack in response to the enemy's thrust.
The piercing sword passed through his face. But at the same time, Kaizo's sword pierced deep into the opponent's heart.
"Gruah!" Suffering massive psychological damage, the knight lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Kaizo held onto her shoulder from the pain as she slightly forced herself as she asked the Shackle user behind her, "Then, only you are left, what are you going to do?"
The knight bit his lips regretfully, "Don't forget this, Miss Luna Airis will definitely take care of you!" Leaving behind this loser speech, he disappeared into the depths of the forest. At the same time, the Shackles holding Kaizo were also gone.
(Three elementalists of that level, considering myself three years ago, I can handle them in seconds.)
As he muttered to himself mocking himself, Kaizo coughed up blood. His body was actually not healthy enough to use the Nyx Rune at full strength.
(But to think I'd end up like this.).
His body swayed, he collapsed on the spot as if losing all strength.

POV: Rei Assars

"W-what's that!?"
"Could it be, legionary spirit!?"
The huge shadow looming in front of them trampled the trees in the forest. The small country team could only shout and flee into the forest as they watched the destruction of their fortress.
Spirits in the form of beasts swarmed and attacked the giant, but the giant swung its heavy fists, smashing the bunch of trash spirits into oblivion in a single strike.
"Ahaha, you call yourself a representative participating in the Sword Style Festival, but all you can do is this?"
On the giant shoulder, the military spirit of the Colossal tactical class, sat a girl with gray hair. The second monster of the Instructional School with the nickname 'Queen', Mia Vialine.
Amidst the rising black smoke and burning flames, the girl wearing the red mask stared mercilessly at this scene of destruction.
The elementalist of the small country fought desperately, but with the power of Mia, they would soon be conquered along with their fortress.
"Miss Rei Assar, if this continues, his spirit will be destroyed with the use of Mia's power." Beside him, Lina Flame knelt on the ground, advising anxiously.
"No problem. Using a military spirit that must be eliminated to conquer the fortress is not in vain."
"But the Colossal was provided by the military of the Alphen Territory."
"After all, it was not a spirit that those people could control. Rather than trying hard to eliminate it, it was better for us to destroy it using Trick's Murder," Rei Assar shrugged and turned to Lina. "In addition, have you found the location of the dark spirit and Nephesis Loran?"
"Sorry, sorry, not yet..." Lina bit her lip regretfully.
The spirit of darkness had taken Nephesis Loran without permission, robbing the divine power of the elementalists indiscriminately, such an action was definitely a betrayal of Rei Assar.
"I understand. Then keep looking."
"Yes." Yeah."
"If something happens, even if the dark spirit plans something, my plan won't change in the least."
"Miss Rei Assar, may I ask?" Lina looked up and asked worriedly.
"What's that?"
"What kind of person, Nephesis Loran?"
He was well aware that the monster of a black knight was no ordinary human. The thing was revived by him before he used forbidden magic, an existence that should not exist in this world.
But in the end, what was his true identity? Deep behind the red mask, those fiery red eyes seemed to pierce through Lina.
"Please forgive me for overstepping my limits!" Lina immediately knelt down and kowtowed in regret. Just a gaze was enough to give him a feeling of fear as if his heart was tightly gripped.
"He, Nephesis Loran is the successor of the past Demon King."
"Demon King Successor?"
"In other words, the incarnation of Rei Shadow's will was buried in ancient times." His words with a dark shadow flashed across his fiery eyes.
(A existence identical to mine.)
