The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 255: The Witch's Last Inheritance
"The spirit is not inferior to mine. There are inconsistencies in your output of sacred power. It was your weak spot from before." Aidenwyth declared that coldly and increased the pressure of his sword.
"Quuu! why, you?!"
Kaizo filled Nyx with all the divine power in her body. The silvery-white sword exuded an oppressive gleam and began to push back the Calamity Storm Bringer in an instant.
"Yes, your momentary strength surpasses mine, yet..."
Aidenwyth disappeared from his sight. And faster than the thirst for blood.
*ᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛗ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᚲ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ *
"The Absolute Sword Art, First Form, «Vegu» Lightning Flashes!"
A lightning-like prick gouged out Kaizo's stomach.
"Geekily!"
A violent clash hit him and Kaizo's body hit the ground. Body damage from «Elemental Aero» is converted to mental damage, causing severe concussion.
"standing. I'm holding myself back."
Kaizo groaned and tremblingly stood up.
It is true that he is holding back. Because he had taken the Absolute Blade Art, but could still stand.
"It's been a long time since I picked up that sword technique." Wiping the blood off his lips, Kaizo smiled.
"Did that wake you up, son?"
"Yes thank you."
Once again, he prepared a shining «Rune Nyx» with both hands. He stared directly at Aidenwyth who was standing before him.
He could feel something rising up inside him. The memories engraved on his body returned clearly.
"The princesses are waiting," Kaizo smiled fearlessly and said, "i'll ask you to pass the strongest Absolute Blade Art quickly."
"That's it, that's his eye. Only his eyes were unchanged from three years ago." Aidenwyth's gray eyes stared at Kaizo.
The tip of the demon sword slowly pointed towards the middle of Kaizo's forehead. It was the oppression that gave her skin the creeps.
"Listen carefully, I won't show you the secret more than once. Understand its nature in one such attack."
"Only once?"
"That means it's impossible if you can't understand it just once. Inheriting the title of the strongest Elementalist doesn't mean you have the ability to learn the secrets of the Absolute Sword." Aidenwyth told him in a very cold voice.
Kaizo's whole body was sweating coldly.
The silence fell. Then, Kaizo nodded briefly, "Okay, enough."
Superficial swords were no match for Aidenwyth. To fill his elemental aero with his thoughts, he closed his eyes and sharpened his senses.
What came to his mind was the faces of the princesses. Victoria, Tiana, Eve, Aura, the faces of her comrades. And «Demon Slayer» in his hand, Rune Nyx.
(There's no way I can lose!)
The sword in his hand was the one that brought «Hope» from all of them.
"Let's do this, Aidenwyth."
"Ahh, there's no point holding back. Come to me with your strongest technique."
"Is there ever a time I hold back against you?"
He filled «Rune Nyx» with all his divine power. The silvery-white sword glowed dazzlingly, erasing the darkness of the forest. Kaizo lunged as if splitting the wind.
(The strongest sword technique I can use right now.).
He kicked the ground and accelerated. He turned into a reverse grip on the holy sword in his hand.
* ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ *
"Absolute Sword Art, Destruction Form, Bursting Flower Spiral Sword Style, 20 Consecutive Attacks!"
With a flash, countless scattered blades flashed. A flash of slash was a destructive sword style that possessed absolute killing power.
Properly speaking, it was a technique for the purpose of defeating a mighty demon god-class spirit. The storm of consecutive attacks resembled the blossoming of a flower.
But the strongest mage in the continent, stopped all of it with his sword. Putting aside the time he was in his golden age, the current Aidenwyth should not be able to physically match Kaizo.
Then why would he be able to take Kaizo's sword, he immediately knew the answer. Aidenwyth's gray blonde hair emitted a faint radiance.
It was the radiance of divine power that he unleashed. And it was strong enough to be seen with the naked eye.
(As we exchange attacks, he absorbs my divine power!?)
He wondered if it was the ability of the elemental weapon «Void of Hell».
Aidenwyth matched his holy power with the holy power of Kaizo.
If one were to truly match the movements and breaths of his opponent, he could create an opponent's holy power that he would normally reject on his own, it was already not a battle sword style, either, but from «Divine Ritual Obsession» girls privileges.
(This is the secret of Absolute Blade?!)
Countless sparks of fire, hidden waves of twenty consecutive attacks that had absolute killing power.
The last sword attack landed. Kaizo finally understood. The Truth of the Absolute Blade's secret.
(That's coming!)
Kaizo deployed his entire divine power into twenty consecutive attacks. That great power was now put into the sword of Aidenwyth. Avoiding is impossible. He instinctively understood that.
* ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖᚠ ᚢ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ *
Aidenwyth's lips moved slightly, "Amplete Sword Arts, Final Form, «Last Strike»!"
The glistening tip of the sword pierced through Kaizo's chest.
****
* ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖᚠ ᚢ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ *
"Final Form Supreme Sword Technique, Last Attack."
Kaizo lay on his back with his eyes open and muttered, "You neutralized the attack power of your opponent and then hit him hard with a counter, huh. For the ultimate sword technique, it was really simple."
A number of refined spirit crystals were scattered beside him. It seemed that Aidenwyth was the one who revived him from his unconsciousness.
Kaizo saw pale blonde hair all over the head. Aidenwyth's face was right in front of him, staring at him. Grain of sweat solidified on Aidenwyth's brows.
"Supreme Sword Technique, have you seen everything?"
"Yes. I think I understand, more or less."
The feeling of that ultimate attack tore his body etched into his memory.
(But, can I really use it?)
It might have been obvious, but just looking at the ultimate attack was not enough to master it. If Kaizo retaliates, he can defeat a stronger opponent, but it is a double-edged sword, because one mistake can mean the end of everything.
So it was definitely not a skill that he could use carelessly.
"Ah, so." Aidenwyth chuckled, looking satisfied and then his body suddenly trembled and limp. And his face fell right into Kaizo's chest as he lay on his back.
"H-hey, what are you doing?!"
He doesn't look all right. Kaizo shook his shoulders, but Aidenwyth clutched his chest in pain and gasped for breath, seemingly insane.
"Kaizo, I leave the rest to you."
And the light slowly disappeared from his gray eyes.
"Defeat Rei Assar..."
"Aidenwythe!" Kaizo's shout echoed in that silent night.

It was in a cave in the underground Wind Palace. A girl with a crimson mask opened her ruby eyes slightly. He could sense that the great Divine Power had been defeated somewhere.
"so. The witch has passed, and a dark night invites her to come."
"Miss Rei Assar, is there a problem?" The silver-haired girl Lina Flame stood ready by his side and frowned.
"Right now, at this moment, the age has passed. That's all."
The masked girl, Rei Assar, stood up and started walking out and said, "I'm leaving, to prepare for war."
"Alright!" The somewhat confused Lina rushed after her master.
(Crazy dark spirit, "Snake" Church. I won't let anyone get in my way!)
"To overthrow the king of this world."
