The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 253: Next Final Location
'The next time we exchange words is when we do the sword style.'
He remembered the words he said when they separated. Exchanging words is not necessary. What happened then was only a serious sword attack.
Viona smiled fearlessly and immediately turned her gaze elsewhere and left.
"I feel an incredible divine power. Looks like they're leveling up too."
"Yes. Viona is now probably stronger than she was when «Dragon Blood» was on a rampage. His eyes showed no sign of hesitation."
"Mu, Kaizo is watching Viona too much."
"Really, you at least tamed her with that date."
"Say that's not a date!" Kaizo shook her head nervously responding to the dissatisfied gazes from Eve and Tiana.
Next to appear is «Sacred Spirit Knights» which advanced through «Tempest» in second place.
They wear uniforms that are the opposite of «Division Rupture». As the Rossvale Kingdom gained its independence from Lugia, it was expected.
Standing in front was Paladin, Saint Luna Airis.
With her brilliant blonde hair intertwined, a nineteen-year-old female knight. He is a strong man who has fought Kaizo in the «Switch Style Festival» for the championship three years before.
(He is a strong user of holy spirits. I fought hard against him.)
Kaizo remembered that time. Holy attribute spirits have a strong resistance to dark spirits. As a result, his darkness Elemental Aero, «Elemental Void Sword», was completely rejected.
It seemed like he had been taking revenge against Rei Assar for three years, but firmly suppressed the weak teams around him at «Tempest».
(It may be like having a conclusion in the final.)
Originally, he had thought the commander of «Tim Inferno» was the real Rei Assar, but it seemed like he was aware of it.
"It's time. Does «Tim Inferno» not plan to appear?"
"Well, as long as they leave the familiar, they can hear the Oracle." Kaizo answered Victoria's murmur.
And. The hall suddenly became noisy and then became silent. The princess girls wrapped in white ritual clothes came from the inner door of the altar.
Five spirit girls who directly serve «Five Great Spirit Kings». Their faces were covered in a veil so the audience could not see them.
"Hilda is the leftmost." Tiana whispered so that only Kaizo could hear her.
Even the girl he had the unwavering impression that she was a normal girl when they met at «Grand Shrine» was now wrapped up in a solemn atmosphere.
The spirit princess in the middle continued in front of the temple. Everyone fell silent and watched the words that came out of those lips. Then, the dignified voice of the spirit princess was carried throughout the hall by the wind spirit power.
"Now I will deliver the prophecy of the spirit king."
"The stage for the final is the old abandoned capital, «Megidoa»."
****
Separated from the Minerva group, they came out of «Grand Shrine».
The refreshing night breeze makes the audience boisterous.
"A neglected capital «Megidoa», huh." Kaizo muttered as he walked along the sloping hill.
"That was unexpected. To think that a place I've never heard of would appear. At least, it shouldn't be the stage for the «Style Festival of Sword» until now." Tiana said while shrugging her shoulders. Since he who is from «Divine Obsession» Ritual does not know about it, there is hardly any place that most people know about.
Choosing the sacred ground within Astral Spirit is common for «Style Festival of Sword». Even so, having an abandoned city that was unlike the chosen holy land was another matter.
(As I thought, there is something strange about the «Style Festival of Sword» this time. It was as if a mistake had appeared in the perfect system. If so, what is the cause? «Sword Style Festival» three years ago running normally. What broke that?)
A flashback, Inside the encroaching black «Wish», the boy reached out to the dark spirit girl.
"Kaizo, what's wrong?" Victoria asked in a worried tone.
"Ahh, I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy." Kaizo waved his hand to tell him not to worry. The memories seemed to be locked and could not be retracted.
"There is also the field, but we must also consider the shape of the sword style."
"It's so thick." Victoria nodded in response to Eve's murmur.
The rule decided by the spirit king Oracle was «Cross Fire». The duration is three days. It was basically the same as «Tempest», surviving inside the field, but the difference was that each team member would be moved to a different location.
"Frankly, there is a need to find his partner. If a team gathered quickly, they got a chance to destroy every enemy team Elementalist."
It seems Victoria has started thinking about tactics that fit the rules. And just then, a rainbow-colored flower bloomed in the night sky.
It was fireworks. Kaizo stops his steps and is fascinated by the fireworks. The seven-color lights danced in various forms and entertained the audience. The lamp was truly a spirit released.
"Beautiful..." Victoria muttered as she stared at the fireworks in a trance.
"They launched spirit crystals for that, right? It's so high."
"God, you think like a countryman." Victoria shrugged her shoulders, sounding a little surprised.
"When you talk about fireworks," Eve opened her mouth as if she had just remembered something, "when we return to the academy, we should prepare for the «Grand Spirit Festival»."
"Great Spirit Festival?"
"This is the academy festival held at Princess Sizuan Academy every year. The Hybrid Knights also became so busy that we even received the help of a cat, so you better prepare yourself as well."
"So there's an academy festival. Sounds fun."
"Yes. But those who maintain public morale cannot say that. The spirit in the production of the Crow Class last year went wild and became a big problem."
"That brings back those memories."
"You-there might be something like that!"
To avoid such problems, the combo of troubled children from the Crow Class turns to the future.
"I was part of a group that had just been accepted, so I got an extra lesson from Ms. Emilia after we get back." Tiana sighed a little.
It was only about ten days ago, but those days in the academy felt nostalgic.
Two months ago, «Tim Salamander» consisted only of Victoria and Kaizo. But they had gathered five teammates, won through a ranking fight and made it so far.
There are three days left in «Style Festival Sword». He wondered if he could get back what was important to him with his own hands.
(Or maybe I lost everything.).
More majestic fireworks bloomed in the night sky.
Perhaps out of sentimentality, Eve voiced her uneasiness, "I wonder if we can win and return to the academy safely."
"We've come this far. We just need to do the sword style with all our strength."
"Yes that's right."
"If we combine our powers, we can even defeat that fake Assar Rei!"
