The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 254: The Witch's Call
At that moment, Tiana's face looked overcast.
"Tiana, what's wrong?"
Kaizo asked and Tiana averted her gaze as she shook her head.
"I-it's nothing."
He's a little interested in his attitude, but he has to focus on his current goal.
(That's true. I have to win against «The other Strongest Sword Style Holders.».)
To uncover the truth behind three years ago and save Alicia. Under the leather glove on his left hand, the dark spirit seal pulsed with a dull pain.
"That's called her spirit, Victoria Blade."
Until he called out, no one was aware of his presence. Turning around, a beautiful woman with gray blonde hair was there.
"Aidenwythe?"
Pulling the spirit crystal light closer and closer, it is «Blue» Palace Magician.
"Chief School, what are you doing here!?" Victoria said in a surprised voice.
"I'm sorry, but I'm gonna borrow that kid for now."
"Kaizo?"
"For what? Tomorrow's the final." Kaizo said as if growling.
"Night is long. Isn't fixing the relationship enough of an excuse?"
"What!?"
All the princesses were stirred by Aidenwyth's words.
"Ka-Kaizo, don't tell me, not even the principal?"
"Haa, Kaizo's defensive scope sometimes surprises me."
"Kaizo really doesn't have any restrictions!"
"My curse, you, shameless!"
"Wait a minute, there really isn't anything like it!" Kaizo shouted in panic.
Seeing the reaction of the princesses, Aidenwyth smiled as if she was enjoying herself, "That's a joke. I didn't steal the kid, so take it easy."
"We-we're not worried!"
The princesses with red faces shouted together.
"If it's a joke, I'll come back." Kaizo tried to turn around to leave.
"Well, don't rush. I have something I want to give you."
"What?"
"I can't give it to you here. It's necessary for your victory." Aidenwyth's expression became serious at some point.
Kaizo thought for a moment, "Okay. Let's get this over with quick."
"Whether it's going to be short or whatever, it depends on you." Aidenwyth shrugged his shoulders.
Kaizo turned to his teammates and said, "Sorry. Go back to the castle, I'll catch up."
"Y-yes, we'll do it." Victoria nodded a little sadly.
"Ahh, right. Bring along the sword spirit."
"The nyx?"
"Because the night was dangerous. It takes a means to defend yourself."
"You need protection? What kind of a joke is this, is that okay, Nyx?"
"Yes. I am Kaizo's sword. As long as you want." Nyx nodded and changed into her Elemental Aero, «Rune Nyx».

Aidenwyth came down from the hill and walked into the dense forest. The night spirit floated among the trees, emitting a mysterious light.
"We'll be there soon. Repairing relationships should be done where no one else can see."
"What?!"
"Don't blush every time. You're really cute."
"Iuh!"
«Blue» Palace Witch smiles like she's having fun. The sound of fireworks still echoed from far away.
"It's been a long time. Walk through the woods with you like this."
"Ahh, it did happen."
"I really thought I'd die by then."
"But direct combat is the best kind of exercise, right?" Aidenwyth shrugged his shoulders.
"That's when you mastered «Bursting Blossom Spiral Blade Style»."
"If not, I'd be dead."
"God, since when did you become so rebellious. You were more honest and cute three years ago, and we're finally here."
Aidenwyth finally stopped. A large space created by opening a forest. That seems to be for the training of the princess maidens of the «Divine Ritual Obsession».
"So what do you want to give me?"
Aidenwyth's gray eyes seemed to pierce Kaizo as they stared at him, "Kaizo, I will entrust you with the last Absolute Blade Art."
"What?!" Kaizo's eyes widened at the unexpected response.
Absolute Sword Arts from «Blue» Palace Magicians who are referred to as the strongest Elementalist in the continent. It was something that was used together with «Elemental Void Sword», and has created «Rei Assar».
"Whatchu mean? You should've entrusted that secret to me three years ago."
Spiral Flower Sword Style imitation, spirit destruction sword technique. The technique that defeated the dark monster, Nephesis Loran. Anything outside of that technique should not exist.
"Of course, that technique was the best sword technique. If successful, it would even slaughter a demon god-class spirit."
Aidenwyth shook his head, "But there's a last secret I didn't teach you."
"Last secret..." Kaizo gulps. The witch did not tease him.
"Why?"
"There's a reason why I didn't teach you three years ago. If someone inexperienced with Absolute Blade Art used it, his body would be destroyed."
Of course, Absolute Blade Art that surpassed the limits of flesh would destroy the body of its user. In reality, even now, Kaizo had not mastered it to an adequate degree.
"But that technique..."
"That's right. To be honest, you shouldn't use that kind of technique in a head-on fight." Aidenwyth said it easily.
"But you guys now can't win against «The Strongest Sword Style Holders». That's the truth."
He can't retaliate. It was something Kaizo understood most himself.
"If I manage to do that secret, can I defeat him?"
"Maybe. You are weaker than before, but your mature body is better. Your body may now be able to withstand the retreat of that secret." Aidenwyth's mouth curved and he put his hand to the ground.
A streak of light like blood came out and an ominous magic box was drawn.
"You are from the gates of Hell, the earl who ascends to greatness, the demon spirit «Void of Hell»!"
From the middle of the magic square that shone with a red light came a lump of formless darkness. Kaizo's skin stood upright from the air by the terrifying intimidation.
Previously under Demon King Ratanak, one of the pillars of his thirty-two spirits. Aidenwyth stretched out his hand and the chunk of darkness became a sword all at once, appearing in the witch's hand.
Elemental Aero, «Disaster Storm Carrier».
With a very similar appearance to Alicia's «Elemental Void Sword», it was a jet black sword.
Kaizo unsheathed «Demon Slayer» without saying anything. The silvery-white brilliance that shone illuminated the dark forest.
"It's been three years since our last practice. Are you ready, son?"
"You three years ago would not have asked that to an opponent who had drawn their sword."
He doesn't have to worry. For the current Kaizo, the power to defeat the other Assar Rei was required.
In an instant, Aidenwyth's silhouette disappeared. Deflecting the flash of the sword, a loud metallic sound echoed in the night forest.
"Oh, you resisted the first attack. Looks like you've recovered your senses long ago."
The elemental aero created sparks as they rubbed against each other.
(As usual, his strength is incredible!)
He instinctively shuddered. If it was Kaizo before the «Steel Festivals», he wouldn't have been able to see it.
Yes, this is the sword that was previously called the strongest in the continent. The divine power radiating out from the Calamity Storm Bringer overwhelmed the Nyx Rune.
"Nyx lost!?"
