"Boom!"
Hikari uses his spell and Lucien counters it with another spell. Hikari could feel that defeating Lucien is easy. But how long will it continue to regenerate? Plus, how many of the unknown creatures are still there?
"CHING!"
"PANG!"
The time Hikari's and Lucien's sword makes contact with each other, suddenly one of the flying swords hits Lucien.
"SPLAAK!"
The blood could be seen and Lucien suddenly moved slowly. Hikari then took that opportunity to take Lucien out. Hikari uses his sword ability. Empowering it up and then cutting Lucien and blowing him up.
As Lucien stopped moving, all the creatures began to stop moving, and it all went to Lucien. But Hikari could see that, and he then quickly took out the creatures before it could reach Lucien.
But his alone are not enough to take it out. Dome of the creatures was able to get through, and then it all absorbed into Lucien's body.
Lucien was about to heal up. But before he could fully Resurrect, Hikari then controlled the flying sword, empowering it up with a spell and stabbing it all in the stab Lucien.
Each of the swords began to glow as it all stabbed at Lucien and slowly the Aura filled Lucien's body and each of the energy from that sword was about to explode. But suddenly Lucien ordered the system.
"System Load."
Suddenly Hikari's vision got blank for a second, and then he saw he returned to the time before he fought with Lucien. That caused him to be shocked by that.
He then saw Lucien are standing in front of him like nothing happened. Then Lucien ordered a new command.
"Boost up."
Lucien's movement then became so fast and in an instant Lucien stabbed Hikari. But Hikari was able to see it, and he then also stabbed Lucien right in his chest.
"HARGH!!!"
Both Hikari and Lucien then slashed each other and continued to fight. Hikari was able to regen quickly with his ability. But Lucien also was able to regen himself using the system. Making both of them seem to be impossible to get defeated in that battle.
But what makes Hikari shocked the most is about what did just happened recently. He believes that he just defeated Lucien. But then why suddenly got the time got rewinded? Did Lucien have a trick that he could manipulate the time?
Such a power. That is just cheating.
Hikari didn't let his spirit down and continued to fight with Lucien. But then Lucien controls the unknown creatures to block Hikari's vision and then he flies back. Hikari could sense that Lucien was trying to escape, and he quickly used his ability and wiped the creatures in front of him out.
"BOOM!"
The smoke fills the sky and as the smoke disappeared, Lucien is no longer there. It looks like he was able to teleport everywhere. Making Hikari wonder about something. But what is important is that everyone down there is free from that unknown effect just now.
Hikari goes down and stands. He looked at everyone. Everyone was alright with a little scratch, but his ability instantly healed everyone there. Hikari went to Arithia and smiled.
"That's a great entrance it seems."
Arithia then smiled and said that she would never be late. Because she knows there will be someone who needs her help. But Lolita steps in and says that she remembers there was someone back then that appeared after the unknown dragon absorbed all of the other monster energy and was using it for itself.
That person appeared at the battlefield where the dragon fully awakened and took it out in front of everyone. When she can just appear before the dragon awakens and takes it out.
Arithia then scratched her face and said that the situation at that time was different. Plus, her training is not that easy. But what's important now is their kingdom is still standing until now. Arithia smiled and showed a thumbs up to Lolita. Lolita then just does a face palm and Hiyama steps in.
"Whatever, now that everything is good. Let's deliver this to them and see what will happen."
Hikari looked at the engine and nods.
When they arrived inside the ship, they all saw the machine was almost done and as they put the last reactor, finally the machine began to link up.
Akaru and Ageru use the high power to activate the machine and Hana continues to transfer the energy.
As it fully charged, everything now is perfect and Akaru then told everyone that it looks like everything is going to end. Aikari nods and then Akaru told him to hop in and try it out.
Aikari was so shocked by that sudden announcement. But he just nods and steps inside the machine. Aikari then uses the machine to full function and he could feel an unknown amount of memories begin to hit his head.
"What is this?"
While connected to the machine. An overflowing amount of memories began to be seen within his vision. He doesn't remember that kind of thing before. But since he looked at it with his own eyes. It was no way it was just a vision.
Based on the vision, it looks like Aikari is the person who caused this world to be created. The people and everything there.Then, why doesn't he remember anything and why did he see this now?
Aikari then could hear a voice of someone. It's a voice of a guy. At first, he talked in a foreign language and then he spoke in English.
"By limiting his memories. I bet he couldn't beat me without all of those memories and experience, right? But I wonder if he has a muscle memory? Will that even save him?"
The voice laughed. He then spoke in Japanese.
"You took my lover. So, I'm going to take your life. Aikari. No, Hikari Aigami. You took so many lives. So I'm going to show you how strong I am."
Aikari then saw a lot of information begin to appear in front of him, and then he saw a notification.
"Memory Upload complete. Are you willing to continue?"
Aikari saw a 'Yes' choice and he then clicked on it.
Then, suddenly he was able to control the machine. But at that time, an unknown explosion could be heard from outside.
Akaru and Ageru were so shocked by it. It seems like that attack did cause their ship to shatter. The ship began losing balance and was about to fall apart. Without wasting any time, Hikari then opened his portal and took everyone back to the kingdom while Aikari were still inside the machine.
They have taken a long time to repair that machine and he is not going to abandon it. He then touched the controller of that machine and was about to move it.
"Ardista. They put their hope in you when they're repairing you. So, let me carry all of that hope together with me. Together, we can save many lives."
But before he could step out, suddenly the wall in front of him exploded; behind the smoke, Aikari could see the shadow of an unknown creature. It seems like that was the creature that destroyed the ship. Without any hesitation, Aikari then moved Ardista and charged towards it.
"SWOOSH!"
In an instant, Ardista then went through the smoke and caught the creature using the claw-shaped weapon in its hand. Aikari could see a black dragon and he then saw it, so shocked by it. He has never seen that monster before. It seems like something weird is happening there. He then activated the claw and caused the sharp-shaped beam to come out of the claw, and he cut the monster into two pieces.
The black blood of that monster fills the ground and it then formed a black armored army. There are a lot of it and begin to charge towards the Atrium City. But since Aikari could see all of them from the sky, he then used the claw other function and shot out a laser from it towards the armies.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
The explosion happened down on the ground and the smoke filled the front. But Aikari didn't stop there and kept on firing. Sometimes, it feels like Ardista is moving on its own. Or was it moving based on Aikari's thoughts?
Did Aikari really have that kind of urge to save the city and take the soldiers out? Or was he enjoying it? It somehow feels like he has done it a lot of times.
Was is this feeling. Why does it feel really weird? Aikari asked himself as he continued to defend Atrium City. Until at one point, Aikari did feel glad. He feels like he needs to try his best to defend the city because he wants to finally save people.
But why does he need to kill them? Won't it just make him the same as them? But is there a way to stop them without killing them? Aikari felt conflicted about that and then suddenly Hana's voice could be heard.
"This is not a purposeless battle. You do have your own purpose, right? So fight for it. For the thing that you love."
When Aikari heard the word 'Love', he began to realize something that made him smile.
Suddenly the red color on Ardista began to glow up bright. It was so bright that even a people inside the Atrium City could see the light from it. They all were so shocked by it and asked between themselves.
"That Red Light. What is that?"
"It's really bright... Is that an attack?"
When Hikari and the others saw that, they all were so shocked by it. It also confuses them about what that red light is. But all they can do is to hope that Aikari will be safe. While they're all putting the hope inside Aikari, suddenly between the red light, the green light appeared.
When Hikari saw that color, he just smiled and said.
"Aikari, I never really knew who you are. But, I could feel it. There's something inside of you. That makes me much more interested in knowing you. Are you a hero of a certain place? Or are you going to become one?"
(Aikari Situation)
Inside of that machine Aikari somehow could see hear a lot of thoughts but at the same time he could feel an overflowing power.
"This. What did I lose? What am I looking for?"
Hana then answered,
"The answer is on you; this machine was built so that it could save the world from corruption. Without its owner. It looks like it's nothing."
Aikari then continued,
"Then without each other, this is nothing. This world will be nothing. So, let's put all of our hope together and bring that peace together. Everyone."
Suddenly the question appeared on the screen and asked.
"System Limit Over Synchronized."
At that time, Aikari no longer felt the pain either inside his head or his body. It all feels at ease and suddenly all the knights down there, they all then turn to Ardista and begin to charge towards it.
It looks weird but suddenly all the knights grow a wing on their backs, and they all fly towards Ardista. But the both of the engines on Ardista that were empowered by Hana glow up and a trail begins to cover the sky.
It's not a trail of red or green. But it became a white trail and within it, Ardista moved around and took out the knights. And then the Knights combined and created a monster. Somehow the monster resembled a machine. But with a monster look.
Aikari looked at it and then he smiled.
"The fight won't end if I don't fight. But fighting with this machine it seems fun. So, let's use everything that you got."
Aikari then uses the laser sword on the claw and dashed towards the monster. The monster wasn't able to block it and lost both of the arms. Aikari then dropped the claw and took out two beam sabers on Ardista's waist and slashed the monster body. Making a four-slash attack. Then he stabbed the saber into the monster's body, and he used the dual sheild on Ardista's back and pushed the monster to the ground, slammed it down.
Ardista are too fast that it creates a fire as they fall down and as they go down, the an explosion happens and again the smoke fills the field.
