Chapter 33

A/N: Sorry for the late upload and if there's not as much description as you may have expected, I had a test today and have Bio tests next week so I can't upload as fast I as I would like to.

Claire Darkheart POV:

I woke up in a luxurious bed, it was around 07:00am, I still had plenty of time before anyone woke up. I placed my hand on my forehead and sighed. Yesterday's events were certainly intense, my disciple nearly killed Iris.

Iris is like a younger sister to me, so I unconsciously protected her. That attack, if he managed to land a blow on her then she'd have lost her life. So I sort of lost my cool, but now that I'm calmer I don't think that he was planning on killing her. According to the data I've gathered, he's highly intelligent, so he probably knew that even if he fought Iris with intent to kill, someone would stop him before he actually killed her.

That child... his movements were all... perfect and they all served a purpose. And he isn't even using his preferred weapon, but playing cards. Maybe it's to show off? Or maybe he thinks it looks cool?

But more importantly, there's something about him that seems... off. This world is a bloody one, but even we don't send children off to fight on battlefields. But it's as if he's a war veteran, and I've got a feeling that he's been planning the fight with Iris ever since we arrived in this country.

There's something wrong with him.

Reinhardt POV:

I found myself in a dream, I couldn't do anything but watch. I was watching a boy with black hair and dark eyes slaughter thousands of people, the boy cut and slashed all that was in his path. Occasionally biting necks off and even using people as weapons. The boy kept cutting and slashing, he occasionally sent blasts of a black energy out.

Hours passed, the boy had killed over twenty thousand. There was only one man left, the general. The general spoke with rage and despair, he was exuding a monstrous Aura of killing intent.

"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU. YOU GOD DAMN DEVIL, YOU'VE SLAUGHTERED OUR ENTIRE ARMY, DON'T YOU FEEL ANYTHING AFTER KILLING US? YOU FUCKING BASTARD, YOU 'PARAGONS' ARE JUST DEVILS. YOU WERE BORN SIMPLY TO KILL US, YOU INHUMAN SHITS! DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE CRIMES THAT YOU'VE COMMITED? THE GODS WILL PUNISH YOU FOR THIS!"

The man roared at the top of his lungs, but he knew nothing would change. So in the midst of his despair he let his rage come pouring out.

The boy looked at the pitiful General with an indifferent glance. He spoke with a voice that held no emotion, calling it monotonous would be an understatement.

"Yes, I do know of the crimes that I have committed. I'm currently commiting mass genocide against your nation. I've committed murder, mass murder, some crimes against peace, some crimes against humanity. What else? Oh right, kidnapping, blackmail, libel, assault and battery. There also those miscellaneous ones, like sowing discord."

The general looked at me with a blank expression. He spoke in a quiet yet vicious tone.

"The Twelve Deities will kill you. I know they will, you damned demon."

The general sighed, he went down on his hands and knees and spoke whike in tears.

"But please, you've killed enough of our people. This was our last stand, beyond this place lies the remaining citizens. There's over a hundred thousand of them in there, they're the only hope our country has so please-"

As he spoke his head fell on floor and rolled, blood poured out of his neck.

"I suppose this'll be another crime added to my list."

The boy walked for a few kilometers, he found a camp site, there were no guards. Just people, some crying while simply sat and despaired.

The boy released a black Aura, the people all started screaming. Some clawed their eyes out while others bit their tongue, trying to end their own lives. However, what the boy didn't notice was that someone was there, waiting, and then a boy with blonde hair and silver eyes rushed froward.

He leaked an Aura of gold that destroyed the black haired boy's Aura. Behind the blonde boy were three others, 2 women and a man. They rushed at the boy, each was wielding a weapon. The blonde boy was wielding a sword, a brown haired boy was wielding a spear. A black haired girl was wielding two daggers while a white haired girl was wielding a bow.

The black haired boy released his Aura and the people started to calm down.

The Sword and Spear wielders rushed forth, the blonde boy released a torrent of gold Aura that tore the land. The black haired boy dodged, the torrent of Aura was fired at an angle so it went upwards. The blast of Aura pierced the skies, literally, the clouds were parted. The clouds seemed to have been moved to the point where the sky was blue for thousands of kilometers.

The black haired boy drew a sword, it was 'Edge Of Nightfall.' The boy swung his sword sideways, a blast of air was released from the force of his sword. It propelled forward at a speed that surpassed even light.

The spear wielding boy threw his spear, when his spear hit the ground, the ground split open. The force of his spear created a blast of wind the size of a tsunami. The spear wielder seemed to have an airokensis type ability.

The spear wielder extended his hand, his spear rushed back to him and monstrous speeds, it flew so fast that it created several sonic booms. The black haired boy didn't notice but the dagger wielding girl was behind him, she pounced on him like a tiger striking down on its prey.

He felt something behind him, his instincts that had been developed over the years told him that he needed to handle the person behind him.

He turned around, he kicked at her feet and tripped her up. He grabbed her by the throat, he held her higher up, he started crushing her throat. She clawed and kicked at him, blood seeped from his hands.

His eyes widened, he threw the girl at the blonde haired boy, he caught and was sent back a good 30 or so meters. Then, over a thousand arrows came down pouring from the sky. The boy glanced at the people, and then at the arrows, they had been shot so that not a single person would be hit.

The boy simply walked forward, he somehow dodged each and every arrow. Each and every move he made was calm and precise, he moved without making any extra movements.

The black haired boy ran hid finger across his sword, the sword was then coated in a mysterious yet powerful black Aura.

The blonde haired boy smiled, his golden Aura was released. The once barren land started to flourish with life, it was as if his Aura brought forth life itself.

The blonde haired boy held his sword with both hands, his eyes shone with a light that was as bright as the sun.

"I'm going to avenge my family, my friends. As such, I will kill you."

The blonde haired boy spoke with both confidence and pride, he seemed to be willing to give his life for this fight.

The black haired boy raised his sword and pointed it at the blonde haired boy.

"Try your best."
