Cursed Paradise (2)
"Bye bye..~" The woman smirked and watched the laser go straight through my head.
"Shin!" Athena screamed.
I fell back and looked at the sky. Blood came from my head. It wasn't fake..nor was this a game anymore. I heard the annoying laughing of the woman and the worried cries of Athena shaking my body, panicking not knowing what to do. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to drift away.
I woke up in the same darkness I was in when I speak to Bravulla. I awaited a light but...what I was greeted with was a woman with extremely pale skin and long black hair with bangs that covered her right eye. Her left eye was blood red. She wore a black lace bodysuit and black lace stockings. Her horns curved around her head and shined.
"You seem to be in a predicament and it's a shame Bravulla isn't helping. Sad...I come before you as I am the Goddess of Sins. You showed Weakness, you showed Despair, more importantly, your Life was taken but all of that can go away. Just as man has their virtues...man also has their sins. Sins are a natural part of human life. Take my hand...and you will have new power." She held her hand out.
I was desperate for power so I could defend Athena and save our units. As I reached out my hand, a light shined behind me. Cuara forced herself into the world of beginning then grabbed my shoulder, pulling me away from the Goddess of Sins.
"You don't need her...You have your own power. Shin...I won't let you die. Not like this." Cuara said then bellowed then her body shined brightly.
I opened my eyes and my Virtues returned to me. I sat up and the evil aura once inside of me disappeared.
"Eh?! What the hell? How did you get back up?!" The woman said in shock.
I stood up and looked at my sword then dashed forward and dodged the dark lasers. I deflected some then heard Cuara's voice.
"Use your Waking of Willpower to shatter the Field Effect!" Cuara bellowed and unlocked my Skills.
My eyes shined brightly and I roared. "Waking of Willpower!"
I slashed down and a white line of light appear then a white explosion happened then the field effect slowly shattered into magic particles. Athena looked surprised. She looked at me and stood up off the ground.
"Where did he get that power from..?!" The woman said in shock.
I exhaled and Cuara's spirit left my body. I looked up and my eyes shined.

"He just used my Shatter Cleave...and my second Extra Skill. How did he...do that?" Athena asked and looked at me.
The masked figure watched from a crystal ball and smirked. "So...you get the help from a disciple that easily. She restored your virtues easily. You and her have a good bond. Now I see why Yoshimune wanted to capture Cuara."
I looked at the woman and dashed to her and her eyes widened. I was going to sever her head off her body, but stopped my blade at her neck. "Release our units...now.." I said coldly.
The woman looked afraid and felt my menacing aura. She took a step back then clapped her hands together and the fog disappeared, revealing our friends. They all woke up from their nightmares and stood up.
I looked at the woman and grabbed her cloak and threw it off her body, revealing her true figure. She squeaked and tried to escape via warping away.
"Block." I said then my eyes shined red as I used Waking of Willpower to block the woman from escaping.
She looked at me and I looked at her appearance. She was a woman with slightly pale skin, silver hair with a bun tied on the top of her head, she had crimson red eyes and wore a bustier set with a lace robe. She had a choker on her neck with a crystal attached to it.
I took this moment to scan her.

"Wh-What are you going to do to me..?" Luna asked and took a step backwards.
I walked towards her. "Something far worse than you could ever imagine. I owe you the courtesy of making you suffer the same way you did to my friends. You aren't escaping this punishment. You aren't escaping me." I said as I kept walking towards her.
She tripped backwards on a rock and I caught her. She held my arm and looked at me. I pulled her up then stabbed her chest with my sword and glared. She grunted and looked surprised. I used my Waking of Willpower to Insta Kill her. She slowly turned into magic particles and closed her eyes. Her body turned into a soul and entered my body. I snapped my fingers and summoned Luna.

"Now that you are my unit, you will listen to my every command. Tell me who was your previous summoner. Tell me his name." I commanded.
"My previous summoner's name was Kevin Vega. You may know him as the Masked Figure. He summoned me to have you killed and use your units as...bait to try to draw out the evil and despair within you." Luna said.
My eyes widened when she said the name. "Kevin..? No but before I ended up in this game...I was playing against him in a player battle. You can't be talking about my best friend Kevin.."
"Unfortunately...I am talking about that Kevin. He has plans on destroying this world, but his reasons are more personal than you realize. He wants you fully out of the picture of Harem Summoners...He hates the fact that you were one of the best and got so much recognition and he got nothing. He wants you gone so he can be number one..." Luna answered.
"Shin...what are you going to do? If this is 100% true..." Athena walked over to me and held my arm in her hand.
"I would need to kill him..." I said then heard a laugh and the masked figure warped in front of us.
"It appears the truth has finally come out." The man said then took his mask off, exposing his face. He had black hair, purple eyes and a smile that I knew all too well. Surely enough..it was the Kevin that I knew well. "The moment you got trapped in this game, I was sure you'd die the moment you got here because you started with nothing, but I was wrong. Because you were chosen by Bravulla...she had the power to store your avatar in the database and knowing that fact pissed me off beyond belief...now you have Cuara and both Original Oracles by your side. What more power do you need..?"
"Kevin...You don't have to do this. We can work this out! We are best friends! We have always worked things out before in the past! We can work something put now! Please! We don't need to fight." I said and took a step closer to him.
"Wake up to the truth, Shin. This is the reality of the situation. I hated how you got all the fame despite me showing you how to play the game at the time it was at it's peak. I am the one who showed you the ropes...I am the one who told you about the greatest strategies. Now you are basically a nobody in this world. I will rule the next universe as number 1...I will wear the crown and you...you will be reduced to nothing but a fragment of a memory.." Kevin said then put on his mask.
"You are worse than a monster! You'd betray Master, your own best friend due to jealousy?! Who do you think you are?! You had me and Hikari get sexually abused! You are going to be the cause of mass genocide! Monsters like you...you are just a monster posing as a human. You have no understanding of the human heart.." Yuki said and glared at Kevin.
Kevin laughed and walked off. "If you wish to battle...you will have to wait. There is no battles to be fought in this graveyard. The boss unit of this graveyard was Luna, but you have her now so there is no point in staying here. Developer Matsuta is awaiting you in the Tower of Aclia."
I watched Kevin walk off and glared. I closed my eyes and turned away. My memories with Kevin cracked inside of my head and I covered my eyes with my hand. "Let's go back to town."
Yuki looked at me sadly and looked at the others. They knew I was broken on the inside after knowing the truth about my old friend. We all warped back to town so we could prepare for the long battle against Matsuta himself.
