Sword Anthem's
Chapter 50 - The Destiny Barrier

It all went on so fast. Without being able to react or stop him, I fell silent and looked at the disappearance of the Astarte Kingdom like a nightmare. My teeth were grinding with trembling legs, but on

I finally fell to my knees.

“TAKKK!!”

THE BHAMSSSSS!!!!!

The sky became empty, the Kingdom of Astarte became history, dust flew everywhere. The light of the moon turned into the light of suffering. A poison-like wind started to permeate my mind and when I strengthened myself to open my eyes. Everything turned white, the ground turned white, small bubbles sticking out of the ground. Even the clouds do not show up. His six wings were wide open dominating the sky.

Some people still held on and they stood up while raising their right arm with an open palm. A pillar of golden light glowed dimly protecting the few people inside.

A magic circle appeared below them with several runes going up and down accompanying it. Not long after a shadow appeared from within the smoke, she was Selina and several others like those from the Legion Knights, Instructors Van and Fay, among others, then the rest of the Astarte Kingdom, they were Erina and Beatrice, then the disciples as well.

Not long after that they collapsed with knees and a body that looked trembling. Meanwhile Selina smiled at me and after that her body started to lose balance. I immediately ran towards him to catch his unsteady body.

When I managed to capture her body perfectly, I could feel her extremely critical condition. From how his body temperature became cold, his voice that called me soft, to his two arms that were trying to touch my cheeks trembled.

“M-sorry.. once again, forgive me. I can't protect you,” I said with teary eyes.

At that moment I hugged her body very tightly and tried to convince myself that everything would be fine. But, still I could not and the guilt inside me just kept coming out while whispering poignant words... ‘Free, you are destined to fail’, ‘don't fight your destiny’, ‘all your loved ones will die one after another in front of your eyes’.

For the umpteenth time I kept questioning my worthiness. Am I worth using it? Can I beat him? With an entity that has always been the origin of everything.. Can I fight it alone? Am I not just a lonely creature? Why should I be me?

For their salvation and for the sacrifice of those who have fallen, however they may be, and however they may be, I must keep moving forward, even though every time I step in their shadow, it draws me to the past.

Pieces and pieces of events appeared in my mind. All of that kind of reminds me of what I was given the task of holding the sword of destiny. But I was just a child, my appearance was not what they thought.

This body of mine is not something I can control freely. Just like during the royal massacre, I did it with my own two hands, although I could reject it, but in the end I did.

Not long after I placed Selina's body next to Fear, I looked up, staring at the giant entity up there with a deep sense of annoyance.

Do I have to do it.. Do I have to take out the second sword from Fear's body? If so, his life would be in danger. It is like taking the life of another.

“What can I do at a time like this?—“

—I'm sure you can do it.

—You know? life will feel empty if there are no challenges.

M-Meist?....

—Both is justice or evil, both have meaning. No matter what path you choose, I will still help you.

—Remember, Reiss. You're not alone....

Suddenly a flashback of those memories appeared inside my head, a memory of the time we sat on the prairie in the afternoon. We were waiting for the moon to come out and the sky to turn red.

At that time he told me his dream....

—Whatever my ideals in the future or how I change, plant in your heart, that I will always help you when you need me.

Right. That's what he told me.

Suddenly the locket I took from him glowed. My body floated because of it and at the same time a small ball appeared and entered Fear's body. When the small ball came back out, it turned into a Meist figure with a shadow-like appearance.

His body emitted several points of light and he also walked towards me carrying the small ball. His friendly and smiling expression reminded me of the past. Slowly but surely his body began to fade.

As his body slowly disappeared, I could see a relieved smile from his face.

[Reiss.].

After the word came out, his body was smashed into pieces into shards of light glass.

It was then that I was hit a second time and pensive to see all that. What does all this mean? Why would he leave me with a face like that?

Damn you, at a time like this can still show such an expression.

Now the ball within my grasp slowly shattered and re-integrated into a black sword filled with reddish lines. On the sides there are several runes that glow as if to say ‘At last I am free also’.

“I-this... Dragontears pieces?”

I was stunned for a while when I realized it was in perfect form. As soon as I clasped the blade together with Lionhart, it suddenly struck my heart.

All the pieces of Fear's past images and memories appeared in my memory, as did Meist who had been fighting to protect her all along.

“Ha... haha, so all this time I was not alone,” I mumbled.

My current life comes from the sacrifice of the whole family—Kakak, Dad, Mom, the ministers and also you... Meists.

My name is Kuro the reincarnation of Reiss Veil Drag Reizhart. Along with her dead soul and body, I carried this cruel destiny and this beautiful life with her. My life is at stake and those who live will remember me in their memories.

Never say in your heart that there is no hope, that hope is always there even though despair has destroyed that glimmer of hope. The glittering light reflected his biases up there.

This time two of the six eyes were glowing. The light was dark, dark black and occasionally the sky whimpered in pain from it. His big head was occasionally straightening like he wanted to take something out of his mouth.

What would happen if something went out and exploded. Put out a powerful attack that can make me and them die in an instant. After the ray that destroyed the Astarte Kingdom, now from its two giant eyes it reappeared black light.

I screamed, shouted, and shouted at this world. In a world that breeds real cruelty and overwhelming fear called Omega.

A few seconds had passed and the beam exploded, giving off a huge plasma. The plasma light was like a hand that wanted to snatch away all the life around it and the severity of the firing direction was right at me.

But who would have thought, when the attack wanted to destroy me a warm voice that I knew suddenly sounded loud.

"Andythus!"

A silver magic circle came out before me. The color is silvery. White and also bright. Thanks to this magic circle, Omega's attack was perfectly neutralized.

As soon as I turned around, her figure that I had longed for was standing looking at me with a warm smile.

“F-Fear... “

“Why are you crying, baby?”

“A-what are you saying? Ak-I didn't cry—“ at all

But what I get is a feeling of relief, pleasure, happiness wrapped in haru. I couldn't even stop my own tears.

“Quiet, this time we will always be together,” he said softly.

After that both hands he spread over the chest, when his eyes were fixed on me. I don't know why I feel like my body is full of power.

“I'll help you...”.

Angel’s Voice—it turns out he started singing war songs. In contrast to Satella's vigorous ability and quick recovery, the power possessed by Fear is stronger and the effects it provides are also longer.

The comparison was one in ten. Fear's strength seemed to have recovered.

When the Omega returns it releases its devastating power. The time around me seemed to slow down, a pair of white wings came out from my back, and I immediately flew as fast as I could while launching condensed slashes from Dragonntears.

Unlike the Lionheart, this sword possessed even more powerful destructive power and only focused on destruction.

When energy balls appeared from the sky. My slash managed to destroy all of that in just one strike. As a result, all the balls exploded like flowers blooming in the sky.

“ARghhh!!”

I yelled out all my emotions and started fighting in the sky using both my destiny swords—Lionheart and Dragontears.

Its enormous size even to the extent of covering this world makes me sick. Especially after he released some of his children from his collection of black wing feathers.

I finished it all quickly. I flew through the sky with a stirring feeling and every time I took my swords in turn, the creatures that were chasing me began to fall one by one.

Sometimes on the sidelines like that Omega emit black particles that are destroyed and emit hundreds of small lasers. However, thanks to the Dragontears within my grasp, all the lasers broke into pieces of light.

“OMEGAAA!!!—Aghskk—”

But as soon as I tried to attack his head, my body suddenly became weak, and with just one whip from one of his children my body was bounced far down to hit the ground and smashed it into pieces.

“A-what happened?”

The feeling was like something was being pulled from inside my body. Then my attention was distracted by a groaning voice. The sound came not far from me.

“J-don't-don't, Fear?!”

The scenario that I didn't want to see has happened. I was really stupid to let him use that ability. Right now I see Fear's body drooping weakly with a breath of breath.

The look on her face showed that she was fine. How would he be fine if he showed such a forced smile. I rushed towards him as fast as I could and immediately hugged him.

“What are you doing?! Please don't force yourself again with that chant!”

“F-Fear?! What happened to him?!”

Another thing I want to avoid is Selina. Why do you have to wake up at a time like this. I don't want him to see the appearance of Omega.

“I can't explain it, but trust me. Please take care of herself for me—huh?!”

“J-don't leave me again, it's not like this, Reiss,” pinta Fear shriveled.

“T-but your condition—“

“—A-I know Dragontears needs the essence of life to bring out its true potential, which is why use mine”

"Fear! What are you saying?!" asked Selina hysterically.

"I-I just wanted to say thank you," she said slowly.

I don't know what will happen after this. Even at this time I could not hear what they were talking about because panic attacked me when he suddenly said it.

"You know Selina .. I can live to this day, it's all because of Kuro's ancient weapon."

From his troubled-looking face, he showed no signs of regret at all.

"At that time, when you were sent by a quick teleportation magic. If only I hadn't used it, maybe I wouldn't have survived until now" he said.

Selina's eyes grew as if she didn't believe any of that.

What Fear meant was that he had been alive because of a sword stored in his body. But when he held Fear's arm, a pulse could be felt clearly.

"But—“

Fear just shook slowly.

My vision grew blurry, but my right palm was still in the middle of Fear's chest.

"Quickly no more time... Kuro!" snapped it.

What can I do now? Nothing, nothing at all. Stamina. mana... even everything has been exhausted, the Lionheart sword has a tremendous effect on my body. But the effect was long gone when I

facing Meist.

His words are right. The Dragonears Sword would show its potential if the life essence residing within it had been full, then all the power buried during this time would have come out.

The two of them got longer, the less they wanted to let me go. Hugging me tightly as Omega rampaged through the sky there, shooting out several large black plasma spheres.

The twinkling spots up there are not stars. But a very dangerous plasma ball. Until one of the balls was shot towards us. When I tried to push them both away from me.

Selina returned to tears.

"I'm sorry, you're the one I love the most, I'm going to violate my rights as a princess of the earth."

Selina's index finger moved like she was writing something fast, but both eyes were glazed over. The drops of tears were unceasingly falling down with his body shaking violently, actually what it was going to be

did it?

But when I saw Fear's face, he was shocked to see it. After that he came back to see me while stroking my cheeks gently.

"Let me do it this once.pardon me," said Fear softly and then smiled broadly at me.

After Selina finished she squeezed tightly onto my left shoulder and that's when I knew what this all meant.

"We who have a name and bear the name of a princess have a prohibition to use this forbidden magic, because this magic violates the right of living beings to do unwanted things."

His two hands that were squeezing tightly onto my left shoulder started to slowly fade away. His body also turned into a faint light.

"Selina—ahk!"

Why is my throat under control.

"I-that's what I did ..." while smiling wryly, Selina's lower body began to disappear.

[I Calling You Dakrness From The Deepest Dead Sea]

[Calling You The Blood of Life]

[Tear Apart The Extinction Itself]

[[Cloud That Bring Despair]

[Pain Bringer That Cut Down All Illness]

[Come To Me, My Full Pledge Second Sword]

[Dragoontiers!!]

HUH UH?! Why does my mouth move on its own... NO!!!!!

Fear sincerely said it was okay slowly. Why do you put on a face like that as if to say everything will be fine.

What are you doing... WHY?!!!

A black hole appeared on Fear's chest, my right hand suddenly entering. My five fingers filled with blood managed to get a sensation that I should have ignored long ago.

But I can't do that, because right now I've reached it very real. My hand moved by itself and then forcefully pulled it out. Fear's body also shook violently with shrill screams and cries.

Blood came out of his mouth, flowing slowly. His eyes closed while his mouth smiled regardless of the intense pain he felt this time.

No... no. No. This shouldn't happen. Why did you do this to me, after everything I've been through. My family died one by one right in front of me with my own hands.

And this time why should you too, the woman who gave me a reason to be able to continue the life I never imagined would be this interesting. Your smile and kindness that have illuminated my empty heart... will it die... ?

"ARGHHHHHH!!!"

Fear and Selina who started to turn into faint light pieces hugged me tightly as I cried out loud. My eyes were burning with regret.

"" Thank you for everything.the man I love the most.""

Those sweet words still can't change the fact that I'm going back to being lonely... The fear... Selinal.

They disappeared into my arms right then and there. Their bodies broke into a grain of light that not long after it disappeared without a trace.

My chest is so tight, my hands don't stop to hold all this. Now Dragontears has fully risen thanks to the sacrifice of the two of them.

With the Dragontears sword in my right hand. His entire strength slowly began to crawl through my body. I could also feel my eyes burning.

It seems that both my eyes have risen.

"I-it's very painful," I murmured softly.

Now the two emit a continuous resonance. It bears the Regalia emblem with the face of the little Fenrir in the middle.

While the emblem of Fenrir that was on top of my left arm was unceasingly twitching. After it exploded, enveloping my body with abundant mana.

I could also feel my black wings slowly turning black.

After that I immediately pulled the two swords from the ground and tightly grasped the blades of both. My tongue was bitten to hide this upset and I finally shouted.

“ARGHHHHHH!!!"

I immediately exploded quickly, flying into the Omega above. My two swords have shone. The plasma balls started to shoot back at me. But I could easily fend off with a flutter using the Lionheart Sword in my left hand.

After that I directly maneuvered above the sky by blasting dozens of shockwaves from these two fate swords. Explode without mercy.

The omega roared very loudly as one of its wings broke off and spewed out an enormous outpouring of blood. Ploughing nameless land down there. Everything is red now.

I flew back quickly beyond the speed of sound. Like a small warp that is very fast and without any lag time.

Wound after wound started to incise on his body quickly. He roared again with great and occasionally launched small lasers from all over his body.

Too bad it all missed. The ground below was violently bulging, exploding, and spitting red blood upwards violently. The sound of echoes and also the screams from his mouth that opened wide with a large and sharp canine teeth began to appear.

And now he broke out a smaller version of himself and started chasing me fast. Squeezing on his long body, even though it was like that he could still follow me easily.

When I was at the distance I had planned . I stopped and turned quickly towards Omega's head while straddling my two swords. In one fell the red blood came back out profusely. Now both of his eyes have been broken and destroyed with these two swords of fate.

Then...

[A Sky That Never Fall Asleep]

[A Moon That Never Being Alone]

[A Sun That Never Fall Down]

[A Wind That Never Hazy]

[A Cloud That Never Betrays]

[And Last ... A Destiny That Now Will Perished Before My Eyes]

[Show Your Self ... I Calling You]

[Infinite Sword of Regalia!!]

Lionheart and Dragontears that stuck in the two Omega eyes came out, then fused into a very beautiful golden sword. But, behind its beauty there is a very great destructive power.

The Omega that was still struggling on the dark clouds did not realize that his life this time would not last long. The sword of Regalia is in my right hand. I held her tight with both hands.

I flew back up high into the sky. After being at the highest peak, I lowered my face. Looking at the form of Omega that had wrapped around the earth with his body.

All the colors turned to ashes from my two eyes, just like my brother said, as he went after my two beloved women.

"YAHOOOOOO!!!"

I also glided from the maximum height while raising the Regalia sword high. After the distance we—Omega and also myself close, one slip from the Sword Regalia that is said to change destiny I have released.

And at that very moment I did not know what was happening, because when I opened my eyes Omega had vanished into pieces of memory. While both of my wings vanished into light, my Regal sword shattered into pieces into light.

I dove freely in the sky this time, with nothing left of my body at all. And finally hitting that nameless ground, my eyes felt heavy. Ahhh .. It seems that I really want to close my eyes this time.

At that moment I closed my eyes, and a sentence flashed in my head.

—We love you so much, Kuro.

I smiled a little....

I'm the same, I love you both so much.

"I wish I could see you again...."

And that's when I couldn't reach the light that had been guiding me. It's just that the last thing I felt was a warm embrace until my body finally fell into the abyss of darkness.

[END]
