Chapter 16: And Then She Arrives Right After The Tournament/ State of Emergency

The tournament was now over as the principal was just about to announce the event closing for everyone to go home, the sky became dark as clouds covered it immediately. It wasn’t an issue of how it happened it was a bad omen for the weather to suddenly change. The rulers of the nations had already left after the fight with the Hero but the nobles and others hadn’t as they were to have celebrations in the city for those who won. Right there in the middle of the stadium stood that thing. Clothed entirely in a dress of black which seemed like it was made out of shadows, her crimson red eyes shined in this darkness, her pointed ears showed she was not human, her long light pink hair reached her waist as she stared at all of them.

“T-T-T-T-The Queen of The Night?!”

The principal croaked as he saw the terror that had plagued him many years ago on that night, she hadn’t changed one bit rather she had turned out even more impressive than that fateful day.

“Greetings pitiful humans, it seems I have come a bit too late since nearly all the competitors have left this stadium, it matters not. I am seeking one person, she who would become my bride her name is Sae Hoshikawa, bring her out right now or else I will massacre you all”

“No need for that I am already here”

Sae had sensed an high amount of bloodthirst as she had made her students teleport to the capital of Rosalia for celebrations, now that she returned just in time she found the sky dark and shrouded with a dark aura.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Lilia Elizabeth Franciosse, I am the Queen of the Night, I have come to take your hand O Dragonslayer and Teacher of The Hero”

“And if I refuse?”

“I will just slaughter everyone here and make them into undead”

She was not joking around this girl could do it a million times over and still have reserves for more.

“Okay I accept, but I got a condition”

“That is?”

“You beat me”

“Hou?”

“Beat me and I will gladly become your bride, but if I beat you you will become my personal servant”

“That is unfair why not a wife in waiting?”

“Hmm not bad but a servant is not as bad as well”

“So shall we begin my love?”

“Yes we shall, oh before I forget , Hall of Gilver”

The scenery suddenly changed and became a gigantic hall with columns and crystal white floor with the ceiling reflecting off their images. Lilia was smiling as she felt that she was in a different dimension.

“Well why didn’t you allow us to fight at the stadium dear?”

“Because it was gonna shatter into a million pieces and people would die from the aftershocks of our attacks, I don’t want that to happen”

“How generous of you so shall we begin my love?”

From out of nowhere Lilia was holding a sword and dove right into the fray of battle as she swung the sword at a rate that Sae could see that she was almost her level of skill, the speed came to hit her katana which had been becoming rusty from not fighting a serious opponent , she blocked the attack but soon expected a kick that was sweeping up from her left side which was almost defenseless. Using the momentum as a force she drags herself to the right side of Lilia’s body where she strikes her side but that is blocked by her sharpened claws which showed themselves as soon as she launched that move. Being pushed back by both claw and sword Sae began to dance right into Lilia’s sword creating a highly pitched sound that broke out through the Hall which had been silent with all of their movements. Their swords began to attack each other , increasing speed bit by bit as they knock each other of the course from the injury of either one of their wielders it was at a rate that lights of different shades were created. They separate for one moment before crashing into each other using their increased strength the ground beneath them shatters into cracks which run through the hall, Sae’s eyes are glowing into a shade of gold as Lilia’s whites are slowly turning black.

“Activate ⌈Red Maria⌋”

“Skill Activation: ⌈Marchosias Drive⌋”

The change within the room could felt as even the leak of bloodlust clashing within the hall was crawling around the skin of those outside, as soon as these began to step forward an explosion of power erupt from the hall causing the surrounding background to scream in terror as the power driven behind each force was overwhelming, using her katana Sae swings her katana down on Lilia who dodges in return kicking her away making the ground screech as their footwork never leave the ground, their swords go within their range zones causing shrill sounds to leak out from within.

“Spear of Thor”

Sae dove backwards with light inside of her hands, as she threw the lightning which was in her right hand at Lilia who saw this and tried to catch it with her bare hands but the result was that it split up into several more spears which began to aim at Lilia who kept on dodging them. A pitch black flame was found next in Sae’s hand spiraling around her arm, this meant a new attack was going to be launched fearing this Lilia drove herself to stop her by all means as she stabbed her sword inwards but that was blocked by her sword as the black flame focused on one point of her hand, the index finger which started to have a red glow in that pitch black flame making a shrill sound Lilia came to know she had fallen into a trap.

“This is something most demons do, Lado”

A clear point blank blast hit Lilia who was dragging herself into the ground numerous times as she staggered to stand back up, that spell was the racial technique of the demons of old it was their signature move how had this young girl in front of Lilia learn that.

“La danza del diablo”

The quickened rate of Sae’s speed was overwhelming as she approached Lilia striking her at the core of her chest, making her cough out blood as the result. But as Lilia stopped her own drawback using the coughed out blood her eyes had gone fully dark as blood red crown circled her head, wings of blood red opened up as she roared a blood curdling screech.

“Las garras del diablo”

Sae’s sword seemed to vanish as they collided into each other once more, their claws were hitting each other at a rate an ordinary sword would have been destroyed. As the world which was enveloping them was on the verge of collapsing Sae pulled back and opened up her palm with a mass of energy swimming inside of that palm of hers making the walls and pillars shatter as they are devoured by it, Lilia dives forward to stop it but she was already too late.

“GRAN DEY LADO!!”

A burst of black energy fell upon her making her dark world turn white, it seemed like that whiteness had reached its way to her soul but she felt like she was being pulled back. Lilia opened her eyes and saw Sae who stood above her with a smug smirk on her face.

“Fufufufufufu I won Lilia-chan you are now my exclusive secretary hehehe”

“Ah”

“Don’t speak now Revival saps most of your energy away due to you being a True Ancestor you survived quite easily”

That is right she was now hers, either way she wanted this outcome in the end it didn’t matter how it was going to be.

But to the outside world seeing Sae princess carrying a weakened Lilia it was going to send shockwaves yet again.
