The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 22: The appearance of the Demon Spirit
"Hey, Aura! Why are you blocking my way?!"
"A-What? You're the one who shouldn't have blocked my path."
At that moment, the two started to quarrel.
"Me-They're both..." Kaizo forgot that he was in the middle of a duel and sighed deeply.
(They have the ability, but their teamwork is really everywhere.)
"How stupid, to argue among yourselves!"
Eve Veilmist raised his elemental aero spear once more. With a rumble, a strong wind, never before seen, blew swiftly.
"U-to mock me by saying that I'm beautiful, I'll make you regret it!"
There is no place to run. Kaizo retreated from his fate, at that moment there was something Kaizo felt, a strange atmosphere and a disgusting existence.
"Wait, Eve! Something's weird."
"What, are you begging for your life now?"
Stopping in the middle of the road, Eve shut her mouth. It seems he realized it too.
"What's up with this presence?"
The atmosphere around him felt heavy. That sensation, like one's back becoming cold.
"What?"
"What's this?"
Victoria and the others seemed to have noticed it as well. They stared at the foggy night sky and tilted their heads in confusion.
Suddenly, a voice like thunder roared. And then from the tears in the sky, it appeared.
****
It was a gigantic jaw, hovering in the sky. It has no head or body or tail. It was a terrifying jaw with rows of teeth lined up making a crackling sound.
The sudden appearance of the spirit made Kaizo groan and frightened him, "That's, don't tell me, demon spirit!?"
A demon spirit was something with a very different spirit array than a human, and as such, it was a strange spirit that elementalists could never tame.
"Devil spirit, why is it in a place like this?"
The deafening roaring roar of the demon spirits caused the girls to curl up. There is a tremendous sense of intimidation. The holy power felt on his skin was comparable to an A rank demon grade spirit.
"This, rampage?" Kaizo lowered his voice and carefully observed the demon spirits in the sky. The demon spirit was indeed a strange creature, but there was no way he would go berserk for no reason.
(What's going on?) Groaning in his mind, Kaizo recalled something. It reminded him of the incident last night.
Before the duel, the water spirit from the spirit device in Victoria's room had gone out of control. It was a phenomenon that was usually unimaginable, but if the water spirit was in a rampage at that moment, it was natural that Victoria could not control it either.
(Is the phenomenon related?)
(Victoria said that strong spirits do not appear often in this area. For the appearance of that demon spirit by chance, it was too unnatural.)
(What the hell is that?!)
The jaws floating in the sky cut down many trees in the forest, biting, and smashing ancient historic ruins into small pieces. Fragments of shattered rocks rained down from high up in the sky.
"Victoria Blade, for now, we will stop the duel. Is it okay?"
"I understand." Victoria obediently nodded at Eve's words.
Everyone in this place understood the danger of the demon spirit. It did not mean that it was summoned in pure form like a contracted spirit. If bitten by that tooth, the human body and so on would become like a mere piece of paper.
"We'll take cover. I'll take the back, you all bring two fainted ones."
Eve prepares Ray Hawk and gallantly descends to the center of the historic ruins.
"No, I'll take the back. It was not something an ordinary elementalist could do in one way or another."
The way of fighting spirits and fighting human elementalists was completely different. Of course, this did not mean that the girls did not learn how to fight spirits, but it was an opponent that was too dangerous for Eve to fight alone.
"Stop the joke. What can you, who can't even fully use her contracted spirit, do?"
"That's...." Kaizo firmly groaned. Of course, it was not an opponent he could fight with that unreliable elemental aero.
The aura whistled, and Fenrir in the appearance of the white wolf came giving a ride to Misha and Rin who were fainting. Lesley ran too.
"Victoria, what are you doing daydreaming!" Aura pulls up Victoria's sleeve.
Victoria looked down like she was thinking about something and she suddenly raised her head. "Eve, I'll take the back."
"What?" Eve opened her eyes. Victoria whips her skin and summons her contracted spirit, the Hell Salamander.
Victoria's red-eye pupils were fixated on the demonic spirit figure, raging like a storm. It seems like he is really fascinated. In response to Victoria's appearance, Kaizo was both aware and surprised.
(This guy, don't tell me.).
Victoria was obsessed with getting a strong spirit. For the sake of knowing the truth about her brother, Monica Lionstein, she needs strength. Hence, he still reached out to the dangerous sealed spirit.
"You, don't tell me you're planning on making her your contracted spirit!?"
Victoria did not answer. He just silently stared at the demon spirits in the sky.
"That's crazy! It was a demon spirit, moreover it was in a rampaging state!" Kaizo shouted, Victoria swung her ponytail and finally turned around.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity." He bit his lips and muttered with an expression like he had been thinking hard.
"First, there was no such thing as meeting a spirit of that level in the Spirit Forest. Moreover, it was not like there were no elementalists contracting demon spirits."
"You mean Aidenwyth? She's a witch!"
"I also may have the qualities of a witch."
"Stop doing something stupid, you'll die." Kaizo grabs Victoria's arm, who plans to run away at any time.
Victoria sternly looked at Kaizo and said, “Do not block my path. The reason I want a strong spirit, I told you, right?”
"Ahh, I understand. But it's not good. Your skills can't manage it."
"Shut up, release! You weak, shut up!" Victoria shook Kaizo's arm and shouted. Inside his ruby pupils, staring at Kaizo, a sincere hatred appeared.
"Despite seizing my sealed spirit! You can only use the weak elemental aero, what qualifications do you have to say something?"
"That's...." Kaizo looked down. It was natural for Victoria to feel annoyed. Even though he had indeed contracted such a powerful spirit, he could not bring out its power completely.
"What's? I was expecting something uncertain." Victoria awkwardly shifted her eyes.
"I'll handle it myself. You all please run away."
"Victoria Blade, you...."
"Eve, try to protect everyone. I don't want to think about it, but if I..." Victoria didn't speak after that.
"Flame!" He called out to his partner, the name of the fire spirit and ran towards the demon spirit, devouring the forest.
"Victoria!"
Kaizo extended her hand in confusion. At that moment, the demon spirits roared. The sound of ear-splitting squeals struck. The surrounding trees were completely blown away by the wind.
* ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏᛒ ᛖᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
"Wind, give us the hand of divine protection, Wall of the Wind!"
Immediately, Eve recited spirit magic and protected everyone behind.
(Damn it, that sloppy girl!) While defending against the exploding pebble, Kaizo follows Victoria with her eyes.
Victoria, dance in the air. He was blown away like sparks dancing in the air. In his hand was a fire spirit released into the elemental aero, the Flame Whip, which he held.
The flash of a flaming red killer cut through the darkness of the night. Victoria landed on the ground and while running through the cracks of the forest, she drew closer to the demon spirit.
The demon spirit opened its huge jaws and let out a crackling sound with its rows of teeth lined up.
(Not good, this is too sloppy!)
