Part 5:

"You came faster a lot than the others."

I initiated the conversation with Vas whose beauty rivaled that of Ira's and Yrilssa's. I was skeptical about what was written in history books but she was the definitely top beauty of heaven.

"Hmph! Of course someone as exalted as myself would never appear slower than anyone else. Also instead of "you" you shall address me as onee-sama, I am not as boorish as Lux to forget something like this."

I wouldn't call Lux boorish just less dignified and more of a sword freak then an angel. I guess from her perspective he just an insensitive man who out his sword obsession before anything else.

"And I most certainly don't want to lose to that devil..."

She muttered under breath.

So it's also about rivalry with Ira. A haughty person like her must find it unacceptable that Ira stole the march on her.

"Then Vas-oneesama it is a pleasure to formally make your acquaintance."

Her face brightened up when I addressed her as she requested. Were all the leaders of heaven and hell, with one notable exception, crazy for siblings?

"Onee-sama so what type of match will you propose?"

Her smile became wider when I asked. Each opponent I faced were the ones who decided the rules of engagement. I wonder where her specialty lay. Ignis tested my overall strength, Ira tested my attack magic, Lux tested my internal energy technique, and Superbia tested my external energy technique.

"Dear little brother my strength does not come from martial arts, barbaric combat or attack magic. It's best to say I have peerless talent in support magic."

Vas said proudly as a large magic circle bloomed above us, orbiting around it were countless other small magic circles.

"For our duel I propose that you break through my strongest skill. Prove your worth to your exalted elder sister, Kurogane Shin."

An unbelievably large amount of magic activated at once, it surpassed anything I've ever seen before. Just how large is Vas's mana pool?!

Her magic summoned an extraordinarily well crafted staff, that radiated massive amounts of power. What was even more surprising was the magic she used next, it surpassed even the amount of magic used to summon her staff.

"Unlimited peerless heavenly vanguard: True rulers of the supreme heavens!"

A golden light that shone brighter then the heavens above encompassed all the eye could see.

When the light faded Vas stood several hundred meters away from me. In the space between was an army of uncountable quantity. This was summoning magic but the scale it was an utterly unbelievable. Just how formidable was this new elder sister of mine. The army was made up of creatures of all kinds and numerous types of golems. Some golems were over fifty meters tall.

An army that will never diobey orders, an army with never-ending stamina, an army that will truly fight to the last breath. I had to face such a foe.

But that was not all, it was her other magic that made her dangerous.

The buffs and blessing she used made even the weakest of her soldiers as powerful as a person with a low level beast rank divinity. What was worse was the barrier she created, a barrier that disables the magic of everyone but the casters, a mage killing barrier.

She wasn't joking when she wanted to me to prove my worth.

It was an unbelievable blessing that I was able to heal before facing her, yet that also piqued my curiosity. Why was she more powerful than the ones before when they declared that they equal strength?

I could not battle like before. I needed to exceed my limits right from the start just to stand a chance.

"{Takemikazuchi form 1}!"

The new and improved {Takemikazuchi's] first form gave my the power of to summon divine lightning to smite my foes, along with body reinforcement. The first from was the very most basic ability of the lightning god.

Despite using my power i was not confident i could win with it alone. At the very least I'll be able to heard them with this.

They to victory lay in my skill and endurance.

"Here I come onee-sama!"

I moved at a speed that was beyond what my body was able to handle, all the damage I was taking was rapidly healed by the ki concentrated in my legs.

My action was borderline suicidal but also my only chance at victory. What Vas was testing was my wit and strategy, how I will survive and achieve victory in this situation.

Contrary to her expectations I didn't annihilate the front line but I bypassed them. Ducking under their attacks I launched myself into the middle of the enemy army. I opened a path for myself as well as intercepting all projectiles with lightning strikes. Heck I even managed clear a circle with a thirty meter radius at my landing location.

"Kurogane Shōmatsu ryu: Crimson Reaper domain."

I carved a deep circle in the ground around me that that was about two meters in diameter.

Vas looked at my suicidal action with curiosity.

Pushing [Takemikazuchi] to the max I made a barrier of endless lightning strikes in a circle with fifty meter diameter. A few gaps would occasionally open to drag enemies inside, but I first needed to deal with enemies already in the cage. Naturally I made sure the lighting to wipe out everything in the cage before I let others in. Though the golems and some other beast could come in while resisting the lightning, thanks to their natural resistances to it.

As soon as they neared the edge f the circle they were cut to pieces.

Crimson reaper domain was a technique to eliminate everything that entered a set territory. I restricted my movements to the extreme and focused every fiber of being to eliminate anything approaching the domain.

I created a fortress in the middle of the enemy ranks. A stronghold to endure the waves of enemies until I have a chance to execute the next stage of my plan.

It was a strategy that could only be achieved with my level of swordsmanship and full confidence in my abilities and the resolve to throw away my life on a gamble.

Be it beast or golem I easily ripped them apart regardless of the number that came at me, regardless of how many came at once, regardless of what angle they came from.

Blood, guts and stone were scattered everywhere, as the horde was continuously cut down. Anything entering the cage was instantly annihilated. Vas persistently used human wave tactics to tire me out, which has yet to show any results.

At this rate I would take months to defeat her, despite the fact I am destroying numerous foes every passing second.

For every foe that falls twenty take its place. Like a machine i continue the massacre still not showing a single hint of exhaustion.

When another hour passed I took my chance. Condensing the lighting cages around me i created an impenetrable barrier, sadly by doing this and sung too much power by compressing lightning it would last for less than one minute

As all distractions were put out of my mind I began a incantation utilizing the breathing room i was given. An in cantation to activate a special type of magic.

"Sitting on top a regal throne of bones in a castle of crystallized blood, you rest. A true ruler of life and death, the supreme manipulator of blood. O monarch of the endless night come forth with the power to banish the sun. For you are the king fang and leader of damned. The vile beast in human flesh, the embodiment of endless desire. Rise twisted creator of slaughter and give birth to endless chaos. Plunge this world into a never ending nightmare! Deathless blood emperor of the endless night."

The space around me froze and burst open, as rippling cracks spread across the skies and the earth shook uncontrollably. At the same time the lightning barrier shattered, unable to hold an longer, swarming me with beasts and golems.

But it was too late......

My summon had already been completed.

From the cracks emerged a deep blood red pair eyes that struck terror into the hearts of all who saw them. Just with a mere glance in my direction everything was reduced to dust.

Grabbing the tear with its claws it ripped them open and slowly walked through.

What was standing before me was an abomination. Standing over two meters tall with a muscular body. It had pale white skin, and pointed ears. This creature looked like the fusion of an elf with a vampire lord. It had a handsome, noble look an the outside but on the inside it was darker than black. This creature was in fact fusion of one of a blood elf, true vampire lord, lich king and archdemon.

As stated before my god class magic is avatar manifestation. All of my avatars are split into two levels, Normal and ultimate. The one I just used was one of my ten ultimate avatars. It was comparable to one of my forbidden techniques in level. Sadly the consumption was insane. To the point I couldn't move nor cast magic for quite a while.

Stopping in my would equal suicide, or more importantly defeat. I needed to forcefully move my body forward.

"[Takemikazuchi form 2]!"

A 20 times increase in speed and the power to turn myself into a lighting avatar was the new {Takemikazuchi form 2]. By turning into the lightning avatar I could forcefully make my body move, though the speed boost was cut in half.

None of that matter now anyway. My only thought was feeling this area as fast as possible because as soon as a single drop of blood is spilled all hell will break loose.

Just as I exited the danger zone, mere seconds before it occurred I winked at the baffled Vas. Before she could understand my actions my avatar let out a bone chilling roar more powerful than a banshees.

"Spread despair across the land and bring about unsurpassable corruption. Holding the right to grant death to all, nothing will stand in your path. Kingdoms shall fall, empires will rot, spread carnage until nothing remaining in your path. Plague king enchantment!"

A dark eerie aura burst from my avatar. This was a supplementary smell for this particular avatar, an upgrade spell that can only be used by it. It was the only type of support magic I knew. Since the first spell drains me of all my mana this one is lasted purely with my life force and the life-force of the land around me.

Vas froze at what I just did.

"How are you still able to use magic?!"

While smiling evilly I pointed where I was previously standing, under the mounds of dust several deep lines could be seen.

"Your barrier is one that dissipated all mana in the air making it impossible to cast magic normally, but what if I use the old traditional method?"

I casted magic by haphazardly pouring magic into the magic circle under at a rate faster than it was being dissipated. Once the magic was put into the magic circle it was no longer under the effects of the barrier, thus letting it activate without hindrance,

Though because of that I drained all my mana and a large chunk of my life force, shaving a few years off of my life. Not that I cared about that anyway.

But Vas on the other hand had no time to think about the method I just used. My avatar had entered it's frenzy and let out another bone chilling scream, this time it was like a chorus of banshees.

Streams of blood erupted from his hands, creating strong whips of blood. The blood had an odd coloration just like mine and they gave a menacing feeling.

Lashing out with his whips everything around was met with a wave of obliteration. Everything coming in contact with the whip was turned to dust. The dust pile would erupt in a black light after mere seconds they were created, and turn into undead. Even golems rose up despite not being living beings, the golems were replaced by death knights.

It was a combination of the powers of an archdemon and a lich king, or at least how I hypothesized them to be.

Composition by imagination. That was how I created this magic in the first place. The process was really complex but a simplified explanation would be I used creation magic and soul magic to create the avatar and then infused some element into it. The finer details were all left to creation magic. The entire process didn't take long because I already had a blueprint of a similar idea already.

To fight an army that outnumbers you, you simply have to make army that surpasses it in both quantity and quality.

With every wave of it hands, with every step it took, my avatar brought death down on all in its path. With every step taken an enemy would fall and an ally would rise.

I simply sat back and watched as my avatar and it's army clashed equally with Vas's army. The battle entered the state where Vas's had begin summoning more soldiers and casting more support magic. As my army grew it slowly drained her mana.

"Sorry to say this onee-sama but you've already lost."

"Eh?"

I had no need to explain, she noticed the abnormality immediately.

A sudden feeling a weakness hit her. Losing her balance she fell to her knee unable to stand. Despite her struggles she couldn't muster any strength, neither could she even manifest her magic.

An amplified effect hit all of her living forces. Instead of powerlessness they felt death. Their organs ruptured and their skin decayed while they were still alive.

"A bio-weapon....."

Vas muttered weakly as her forces were ravished by an unknown, unblockable, invisible attack.

"I would like to ask why you know that term, but I'll leave it for later....."

I said in an unbelievably tender voice.

".....I will give you merciful, painless death."

I whispered sweetly into her ear.

She let out childish shriek as she tried to back away, only resulting in falling helplessly on her back.

It was an easy task reaching her in an instant using the full speed given by [Takemikazuchi form 2].

As Promised I was going to give her a merciless death, just like the one I gave Ira.

Vas was shocked when I gently lifted up her face, and kissed her.

Her face instantly turned bright red as she tried to struggle but could not muster up any strength.

Just like before i had a magic circle carved on my tongue, but it was a different one from last time.

"World end garden: Primal omni poison."

The poison infected her in an instant and instantly killed her. Not even a second past since it was administrated.

, the king of angels, Vas met a painless death.

Part 5.5:

Vas appeared even before I could begin healing myself. She was glaring at me while pouting, her face was still bright red.

"So pure. I thought you and Ira-oneechan would be more experienced."

"A-a-a-aren't y-you the o-odd o-one, Doing something like that so suddenly."

She was pouting like a little girl, how cute.

"Well putting that aside for now, let's talk about more important matters onee-sama."

I quickly changed the topic in an attempt to carry the conversation forward. It could get awkward if let this continue.

Vas happily complied as a means to hide her embarrassment.

"Before I hand over my legacy to you I want know just what was that? Just how did that vile avatar use a bio-weapon?"

"I must say I am surprised that you know the term bio-weapon."

"It's nothing much, you exalted sister simply peeked through your memories when you showed some of them to us..."

This girl..... I could feel anger well up inside, but I let it go since it was my fault.

".....I used that term since it was suitable for your attack."

"Just how did you see?"

I asked completely serious, with no intent of backing off. Resulting in an awkward atmosphere.

"....U-up to everything you did during the year prior to our death....."

Her face went red up to her ears. So she saw that.....

Oh god, she saw something that no one else should see. Now this is seriously awkward.

"We should skip a head to the legacy now, right?"

"Y-yes....."

She nodded still beat red, completely forgetting about her previous question.

After s long period of silence Vas finally spoke after calming down.

"As you already know I have compatibility with attack magic, leaving me with only support magic to use. In the past I was laughed at mocked my colleagues just like Lux was. But with due diligence I became the strongest, to the point I was strong enough to become the king of angels.

I regretfully took the title of king since they did not let me become queen, those men wer a real hindrance back then. They were about to make Lux the king! Can you imagine a place run by that sword idiot?

I was saying unlike that despicable devil Ira I have mastered support magic to untold levels, and I want to pass that legacy and theories onto you. My legacy may not have the power of the other but I hope you will accept it."

"Of course. I'll treat anything you give as valuable."

".....Thank you.

\When I answered without hesitation She smiled happily. I guess in the past despite her power no one was willing to follow her path. Angels are a prideful bunch, none of them would be willing to undergo such hurdles to gain strength regardless how strong both Vas and Lux.

Acceptance was something both of them probably wanted during their lifetime, just like to two devil kings. All of them reached monster level of strength that left them unmatched by their peers. And since they had so much power people would not approach them in fear of accidently offending them.

The treatment must've gotten worse when the war started, where they displayed the full extent of their abilities. You can only imagine the fear both sides felt.

Finished with what she wanted to say silently placed my head on her lap. We just silently stayed like that until her time was nearing its death.

"Thank you for everything Shin. I pray that you will overcome your last trial."

She smiled gently as she began fading away.

"Take this as an extra reward, little brother."

just as she was completely gone she gave me a big kiss on the forehead. The same action as Ira. Before I could ask she faded away with a mischievous smile that didn't suit her at all.

Seriously what is up with both of them.

I had no time to dwell on that thought as my final opponent had arrived.

With a stoic expression, the dragon god of the end, Tenebris had arrived.
