"Dimension Eater!!" Kensei shouted in astonishment upon seeing the silver two-headed dragon pierce the higher dimension and drag Kanon down into the same dimension as them.
"Rooooar!!" Kanon let out a roar that shook the entire island as the eyes on her wings became more detailed and larger, while her original eyes began to bleed profusely.
Swish!
Pang!
Kojou disappeared from his spot in an instant and appeared next to Kanon. Without hesitation, he kicked her with great force, sending her on a flight to the center of the island, crashing through trees and rocks along the way.
"..." Seeing this scene, everyone stopped fighting and stared at Kojou in amazement, seeing how he never retreated against Kanon.
'Seriously?! Didn't you just say you would protect her and not allow her to be harmed? So why are you the one hurting her after that emotional and touching declaration?'
Everyone thought the same thing upon seeing Kojou's extreme actions.
"What?!" Kojou stared at the people who had stopped fighting and were silently staring at him. He was puzzled, and his face turned slightly red as he rubbed his head a little. "I know I'm extremely handsome, but for you all to stop fighting just to see my handsome face makes me a little shy."
"...You idiot." Kensei muttered, pressing his forehead in frustration, while the others stared at Kojou with a heavy, shocked silence.
Kensei couldn't help but feel foolish, as he had been moved earlier by Kojou's declaration to protect Kanon, but now he saw him treating her like a football, kicking her several kilometers without hesitation.
"Roooar!!"
A loud roar erupted from Kanon's location, and Kojou saw dozens of powerful light spears targeting him. It seemed that despite her fall into the same dimension as them, the energy channel she drew from the higher dimension was still intact.
"Mesarthim-Adamas!!" Kojou shouted, and The Divine Sheep of Adamantine appeared behind him, while numerous hexagonal diamond shields materialized in front of him.
The shields of Mesarthim-Adamas not only possessed near-absolute defense but also had the ability to reflect attacks, which is exactly what Kojou did; he sent the barrage of light spears back at Kanon.
Boom!!
"Hoh~, it seems Tenshi-chan's power is not to be underestimated," Kojou smiled playfully, staring at the numerous explosions occurring in the center of the island due to his reflected attack.
"Well, this handsome guy must leave now," Kojou smiled slightly, waving to the people below. "As I have a date with an enraged Tenshi-chan."
Swish!
Leaving these words behind, Kojou disappeared without a trace, while everyone heard the sound of muffled explosions from the center of the island.
After Kojou left, silence fell over the area for a while, as everyone was surprised and stunned by Kojou's sudden personality change.
"Daughter of the gods that is within me... Protector of armies, age of the sword, bringer of victory and deliverer of death!"
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, La Folia used the power of The Artificial Holy Sword while becoming a Spirit.
"The Artificial Holy Sword!! But the Völundr System only exists on Ragnvald," Beatrice was astonished to see The Artificial Holy Sword in La Folia's hands. "Impossible! Are you...?"
"Right, Her Highness the Princess has now become a Spirit, as she supplies The Artificial Holy Sword with the energy it needs from within her," Kensei nodded, adjusting his glasses, as he knew more about the Aldegia Kingdom and its secrets than anyone else. "This is also a forbidden ritual similar to Angel Faux, where a human implants a Spirit within themselves and summons its power when needed, granting them a tremendous amount of strength."
Boom!
"..." La Folia paid no attention to Kensei's explanation, as a terrifying spiritual power exploded from her body, causing immense pressure on everyone, freezing them in their places.
Without hesitation, La Folia swung the sword of light in her hands, smoothly and simply cutting Lou in half.
Seeing how La Folia effortlessly cut down Lou, who was a werewolf, sent shivers down Beatrice's spine. She didn't hesitate to jump back and wave the crimson spear in her hands. "Jagra!"
As soon as his name was uttered, the spearhead separated into numerous tentacles, attacking both La Folia and Touka, as it wasn't just a spear but a Beast Vassal of the weapon type.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The crimson tentacles clashed with the sword of light, sending bright sparks flying in every direction, while the sound of collision echoed throughout the shattered island.
"Hmm, little Queen... I didn't expect you to reveal the power of a Spirit so quickly," Beatrice said in a mocking tone, smiling despite the light sweat on her forehead.
But La Folia didn't answer.
Her eyes had lost their human luster, and her features had transformed into a mix of stillness and awe; as if another entity had taken control of her.
"Damn..." Beatrice muttered, leaning on her crimson spear. "A pure power... but not human at all."
Swish!
While Beatrice was busy being cautious of La Folia, a shadowy figure appeared behind her, spinning in a half-circle before kicking her forcefully in her right side. "Resonant Thunder!"
The moment Touka's kick connected with Beatrice, a powerful blue thunder erupted from Touka's foot and flowed into Beatrice's body with deadly force.
BZZZZZZZT!
The thunder exploded inside Beatrice's body like a lethal blue flash, making the ground shake beneath her feet before she was thrown into the air like a weightless doll.
She crashed into several huge rocks, then fell to the ground, blue smoke rising from her body as her teeth chattered from the electric shock.
"Aah... Haha... So painful, Touka-chan. I didn't know a delicate girl like you possessed such wild strength..." Beatrice muttered in a hoarse voice, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Don't underestimate me just because I don't talk much," Touka replied coldly, her hand lighting up again with bright blue sparks.
"This time... you won't be able to get up."
But Beatrice laughed lightly as she stood up despite the smoke enveloping her body, then pressed on her crimson spear, which began to pulse as if it were a living being.
Before Beatrice could finish, a massive explosion thundered from the center of the island.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The sky above them split with a line of silver light and crimson blood.
From amidst the flames and dust, Kojou emerged, dragging Kanon by her neck with glowing blood chains pulsating with energy.
Kanon was unconscious, and there were clear fang marks on her neck, despite them having healed.
"Next is you..." Kojou said in a lazy voice, his face flushed as he pointed at Beatrice, looking as if he were drunk.
Swish!
The next moment, Kojou released the chains in his hand, causing the unconscious Kanon to fall onto the sand, and he disappeared from his spot.
In the next moment, he appeared behind Beatrice, his fangs already sunk into her beautiful neck.
"Aaaah... Haaah!" Beatrice gasped, a choked sound, feeling a lethal heat coursing through her veins, mixed with a strange ecstasy that made her limbs tremble. Kojou held her by the waist with one hand while his fangs clamped down on her fair skin, sucking her blood as if drinking a heavenly nectar.
Kojou's veins glowed with silver and crimson light simultaneously, and his dark wings began to form behind him—half of light and half of shadow.
"Angel's blood... and Vampire's blood... an exciting mix, isn't it?" He muttered in a low, drunken voice, while slowly raising his head, blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Beatrice looked at him with glassy eyes, her face pale, her mocking smile gone, then her body fell motionless into his arms.
"Heh... Don't worry, you won't die. Just... I feel the need to drink more."
Then Kojou slowly turned towards Touka and La Folia, his crooked smile not leaving his face. His eyes glowed with a pale crimson light, and the heat emanating from his body was like fire burning the air around him.
"Touka-chan... La Folia-chan... You two too... smell delicious."
Touka's body shivered for a moment as she took two steps back, the blue sparks in her hand beginning to mix with confusion. "Senpai... are you alright?..."
"Alright?" Kojou laughed lightly, tilting his head to the side. "Perhaps. Or perhaps I'm better than ever."
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from his spot and appeared behind Touka, grabbing her wrist before her lightning could be unleashed, and pulled her towards him with a force that took her breath away.
"Haaah... Senp—!"
But his hoarse voice drowned out her words: "Don't worry, Touka-chan... I won't hurt you much."
His fangs gently yet fatally sank into her neck, and with the first drop of blood he tasted, his entire body shuddered. It was a mix of lightning energy and human soul rushing into him, as if he were drinking poison and honey at the same time.
"Aaaah... This feeling... Amazing..." Kojou muttered in a voice choked with inhuman ecstasy, his eyes glowing brighter and brighter.
A vortex of bloody energy and lightning exploded around him, and Touka was released from his grip, falling to her knees, her face pale, the marks of his fangs glowing on her skin.
"Senpai..." she whispered, panting, sweat dripping down her neck. But she was tenderly stroking the back of Kojou's head.
Kojou slowly turned towards La Folia, who was still holding her glowing sword. But her hand was trembling for the first time.
"Kojou... that's enough. You're... consuming yourself."
But he smiled, that smile combining danger and madness.
"It's fine... Just a drop of you, La Folia. Just one... and I'll be perfectly fine."
In the next moment, he disappeared again, appearing before she could raise her sword. He grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him, until her body was almost pressed against his hot body.
"You know? The taste of royal blood must be different..."
Then he bit her neck without hesitation.
La Folia's body shuddered, and light ignited from her body as if the Spirit energy within her was screaming. Instead of his power receding, it began to flow into Kojou—heavenly light and royal blood mixing in his veins with the angel's blood and lightning.
"Ahahahaha... This... this is wonderful..."
His voice rose into the sky as he let her fall slowly to the ground, completely unconscious. His body glowed with a crimson light tinged with silver, and the air around him cracked as if the dimension itself could no longer contain him.
"Angel's blood... Vampire's blood... Saint's blood... and Queen's blood... all mixing within me..."
He raised his hand, a vortex of glowing blood swirling around his fingers.
"This feeling... no god could understand it..."
Then he raised his eyes towards the cracked sky and said in a thick, hoarse voice:
"If Heaven rejects me... I'll make it bleed with me."
BOOOOOOM!!
Kojou's energy suddenly exploded, turning the sky above the island into a mixture of crimson and silver light, while his wild roar rose, echoing through all dimensions.
