Chapter 135, Fallen

With the arrival of the Cardinal Beasts and their Magicians, Arata and the others regained their grounds without Arata needing to cast Level Boost but this alone wasn't enought to change the tide of the battle. Arata decided to take out his Regalia when the True Beasts descended on them. Sirius, followed by Regulus, Vega and a few others smiled as they looked down on the Braves.

"This is just a sampling of our power, I suggest you yield already and die." Sirius smiled but suddenly a beam of light came flying behond him. He dodges it but it injures his right shoulder. "Tch. That was..."

"I suggest you keep talking, that way I can easily shoot a hole through you, same way we did with Ras Algethi." Arata taunted.

"Tch. You little brat!" He snapped. "Descend, my brothers and devour them!"

An even larger amount of Chimeras descended from the sky so Arata didn't hesitate to change into his Regalia and then began chanting.

"I, Arata, now order you, one who rules over the flames, resolve and rage, burn them away, strike fast with your crimson tail, Salamander!" He summons Salamander to the battlefield and Salamander burns away a third of the Chimeras in the sky

"The golden sun shines above, it flames are the flames of life and destruction, burn them away in your rage, Phoenix Fire!" Ardor's spell burn away a quarter ofthe remaining Chimeras.

"Restore, Invigorate, grant them the breathe of life, Healing Light!" Sakura's chant heals all the wounded and they take down the remaining Chimeras in the sky.

Just when the tide of things seemed to have shufted to their side, Terminators began to flood the battlefield. While the Azure Dragon has erected the barrier, they seem to be able to go past it much to Arata's rage. Inside him, another person was fuming with rage at the mere idea of a Terminator. It was Gregory who immediately decided to switch places with Arata who agreed.

Arata collapses and Gregory takes his place. The otehrs are shocked for a moment before Gregory opens his eyes and immediately begins chanting.

"Destiny!" He called out and above him a familiar, a butterfly appeared.

When they all saw that the familiar wasn't Growth, they instinctively knew that it was a previous Fleur, not Arata inside his body at the moment.

"Burn them away!" He ordered and the familiar began to destroy the Terminators. "Leave nothing behind. The sin of destroying a Title is the sim of destroying a person's heart."

Meanwhile, inside of Arata, he sat in his seat with the other Le Fleurs. As they sipped tea, Ivy informed him that he has indeed grown stronger. He smiles and then asks about why he still can't get his Flower to bloom.

"It will bloom when the time is right." Hazel said. "Right now, focus on the battle in front of you. Gregory has gone there to help turn the tide of things."

"Arata, in regards to the Guardians, there's a way for them to be released from their binds and come to where you are right now." Elias said. "However, save it as your trump card for when you have nothing left."

Elias whispered to him the way to release the familiars and he thanked Elias who smiled. Then, Elias and the others teach him a few more things before Arata suddenly begins to fade.

"What's happening?!" He exclaimed.

"It can't be...Fleur is calling you to where she is..." Elias said in shock. "You'll be fine. Go."

Arata was pulled even deeper into the depths of his mind where he meets Fleur, who was sipping tea. She signals him to a chair before her and he sits down.

"My precious tenth, how have you been?" She asked him.

"I'm fine." He answered.

"Forgive me for summoning you so deep." She apologized. "But I have something I must show you."

"It's fine, and what did you want to show me?" He asked.

Fleur presented him with a small glass ball that glowed a golden hue. There was something inside it, but he couldn't see what it was.

"This is the Light of Origin, a power long forgotten." She answered. "It has also been called the Primordial Light."

"Why are you showing this to me?" He asked her.

"I want you to be the one to inherit it." She answered.

"Why me?" He asked.

"One day, you'll know why." She smiled.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Gregory relentlessly destroyed the Chimeras and Terminators. He was enraged at the idea of someone losing their Titles for a reason. His very own Brave lost their title and in his rage, he destroyed alnost every Chimera that came his way.

For Sirius they had lost the battle, they didn't have any way of fighting back against the Le Fleur and so he called the remaining Chimeras to fall back. The trio of Karin, Licht and Pierrot watched from a far. Pierrot was impressed, Licht was satisfied but Karin wanted more. Before the two could say anything, she descedned into the battlefield not knowing who she was up against.

"Karin-chan!" Kimie callled out to her but she was ignored.

"Ah, the Fool, Karin." Gregory said.

"The Fool?" Van asked.

"Then that means that those two are here." He said. "Come out, the Fallen, Licht, the Clown, Prid!"

"Tch. He knows our names." The voice of Pierrot said as he descended with Licht.

"What are those Titles?" Zander asked.

"It is what it is. These three have long been known to be enemies that would eventually get in Arata's way." He said. "The Fallen, the Fool and the Clown. I didn't expect you to turn on him, Licht. I leave Arata to deal with you."

Gregpry closes his eyes and Arata take over once again and open his eyes. The man before him was the Nine Tailed Calamity but also someone vaguely familiar till he felt his Crest resonate with the man. He immediately realized who it was before him.

"The Beacon." He said.
