The Cursed Bloodline
The Beginning of an End Arc: Dueling

Aora takes Kurasu to an alien demension. Another world that resembled a barren plain with huge rocks along the eye looked on. The place is not earth, but has characteristics similar to earth.

The sky was pale red, there were many galaxies and star ranks dotting the sky, there were no creatures of any kind living in that place. Only the barren, golden-red land stretched wide, a suitable place for a fight.

The wisps of black mist began to stumble, slowly revealing a tall, straight male figure with a stern face. Kurasu used her original appearance, the black kimono wrapped around her body fluttering in the wind, while her blood-red eyes stared intently at Aora who was standing not far from her.

"How dare, the pawn I used to take me to a strange place like this! "

Kurasu stretched his stiff neck muscles. " But I admit Aora, thanks to you I was able to break free from the snares of the Mirai seal. " Kurasu still underestimated Aora while smiling cunningly.

Kurasu's sly smile disappeared instantly, when she saw the magic aura enveloping Aora. Bright and strong, resembling the majesty of the sun. The exact same similar power Aorasu possessed.

" That power. Why does Aora have the same power as us (God of Guard) ? The power that only the sun god possesses "murm Kurasu astonished.

Aora is Aorasu. Kurasu was a little confused. Even though they were the reincarnation of the same person, how could Aora possess the exact same Strength as the guardian God? A power that ordinary humans could not possibly possess like him.

Aora began to unsheatheath Shiba's sword. Golden magic began to fill the handle of the sword. The star gyoku is starting to activate.

"You're wondering, why would I take you to a place like this? "

Aora's strength began to fill her body. Seeing that, Kurasu began to prepare. A sword was created from his dark power. Contrary to Shiba's sword, Kurasu's sword was filled with a pitch-black aura. For the first time, he took the opponent in front of him seriously.

" Only the winner can get out of this dimension. The fight of life and death. We'll decide now! "

" You're right, whoever lives is a real loser! Aora, I accept your cries! "

The test!

Kurasu and Aora compactly move forward. Because of the strong magic that coated their bodies, even the ground they stepped on cracked and destroyed. Kurasu and Aora, ran towards each other while unsheathing their respective swords. The darkness and light clashed together creating an enormous explosion of power.

Booom!

Tranggg!

The two blades of the sword rubbed against each other, with the strength that crisped each other in balance. Aora swung Shiba's sword quickly, while Kurasu was able to compensate for Aora's speed and tried to retaliate against the attack. Their movements were almost illegible, so fast only the blue sparks created from the friction of the two swords seemed to decorate the sky.

The field of battle no longer struggled at one point. This was no longer a fight between the magic-user humans, but rather two balanced powers. They could dash across the sky or tread on top of a rocky mountain peak. During the fight, the two equally strong opponents made heaven and earth a fitting arena to bring out their fighting skills.

Traangg!

Aora manages to attack Kurasu's defense, causing Kurasu's body to bounce off. Kurasu was a little desperate, she decided to take Nue's energy as her magic reinforcements.

"Nue, I need your strength! "

Gyoku Kurasu began to cast a reddish-black magic. It is connected to Nue, so Kurasu is able to easily unleash the power of the muster. Kurasu's body was covered in darkness, even his fingernails turned tapered to resemble a tiger (Nue)

Kurasu activated the shielding power, the glint of the blackish-red, tiger-shaped magic armor began to fill his body.

The same power that Nue had passed down to the Sun Pillar as a Curse, passed through their eyes. Kurasu made a foothold in the air, with absolute armor he intended to attack Aora back. His body went back up.

"Aorah! I swear I will kill you with my own hands! "

Aora saw Kurasu coming towards her. He did not flinch at all, not Aora's name if in a fight that involved him, not balanced a strategy.

"As I suspected. You used the Sun Clan's magic armor. An absolute magic defense that almost impenetrable any magic weapon. But, are you sure that the power of the sun clan has no agility? Let's see, Kurasu! " a meaningful smile was engraved on Aora's face.

Aora has predicted Kurasu's movements. After all Aora had once observed how to fight Kurasu when her soul was trapped and controlled. He also collected data on the Sun clan's special armor during his fight against Akuma. Even Aora herself had used that power. An information is a profitable thing, for a strategy genius like him.

Kurasu darted right towards Aora. The knight's armor thrust a lightning-lined sword towards Aora. However, just as soon as he nearly launched an attack towards Aora, the man vanished suddenly. It made the full attack of Kurasu end in vain. The darting attack, causing the limestone mountain around there to disappear into dust.

"Damn! Where did the boy go! " Kurasu started glancing in all directions. Dust fog began to fill the place.

Kurasu's harnessing the power of her magic sensor. Aora is nowhere, though Kurasu uses mind control magic to track Aora's whereabouts.

Srengje!

The test!

Aora appeared in full force right behind Kurasu, without knowing Kurasu Aora started to tear apart the armor defense system that protected Kurasu with Shiba's sword.

Trassa!

"You looking for me? " said Aora, then she disappeared again. Due to Aora's attack, Kurasu's ayir armor began to show small cracks.

" Damn it! Show your form! Aghhh!

You are Aora's real coward. You can only hide. You let yourself live, while your friends die because of you! " Kurasu again lost track of Aora.

None of the bombs hit Aora. Never mind about, knowing exactly where the Grey-haired man was, it was hard for Kurasu to do.

" Where were you when friends, brothers and women you loved fought against me? You're just a coward, who can only hide behind your past! "

Kurasu continued to corner Aora with sharp words to lure Aora out. He said Aora could only hide behind her dark past. Because of Aora's past, her body can be mastered little by little Kurasu. Due to the darkness of Aora's heart, Kurasu was able to rise using her body.

Aora responds to Kurasu's nonsense by fighting safe and level-headed. He was not provoked by Kurasu's ridicule.

Trass!

Aora re-emerged in a place that Kurasu could not predict. Scraping the magic armor of Kurasu, with the full power of Shiba's sword.

Leftist.

Rightist.

Overhead.

Bottom.

Side.

Even right in front of Kurasu. Aora was able to trick Kurasu with lightning movements. Attacking defend Kurasu with full force but full of planning.

That Aora did many times, to make the magic armor defense that is said to be absolute, gradually began to weaken and crack.

" I admit, I am a coward who always makes people by my side sacrifice for me.

Because of that wound, I foolishly let a demon like you control my body. For that, I want to fix all the mess I caused.

One of them, is to exterminate a demon like you from the world! Kurasu accept this! "

Aora began to launch a final attack. A light-colored magic was centered on Shiba's sword blade. Aora started swinging the sword and aimed at the defense of Kurasu's magic armor which began to crack.

Trasss!

Booooms!

The explosion of power happened again. The defense of the kurasu armor finally shattered into pieces. Kurasu's body was almost half destroyed, plunging down to hit the rocky ground.

Aora darted down, she was about to end the fight this time by killing Kurasu. Down there, a large crater was created due to the impact of Kurasu's body. Dust filled the crater. As a result of Aora's attack, Kurasu is seriously injured. Samar, half of Kurasu's body is lying, along with some rocks he bent

Aora began to set foot on the ground, slowly she began to walk closer to the unflattering Kurasu.

Aora was getting closer, albeit with a standby move. Shiba's sword unsheathed and aimed right at Kurasu's chest. Without Aora noticing the thin smile engraved on Kurasu's battered face.

"Because of you, Aora! "

Kurasu began to move the surrounding land to ensnare Aora's body. Hundreds of rocks contact Aora like a magnetic field. A gigantic hand of stone emerged from below and ensnared Aora's body. Aora really can't give up.

Not only that, Kurasu also added black flames to burn Aora's body. A poisonous smoke was also created from that black flame. The strength of the poison was almost the same as the poison that had killed Yora.

"Araghhh! Damnit damnit! You're Kurasu! Arghhhh! "

Aora started to fiercely resist the pain. Half of his face was already burnt. His earth-shackled body could no longer wrinkle.

Aora also started to suck up the poisonous smoke and the black flames continued to flare up, devouring her entire body until it slowly turned into ashes. Kurasu laughed happily, seeing his opponent little by little feeling what was called the most terrible death.

"Haha! Huhahah! Feel, even in your death, you feel what is called torment. "

The regeneration magic that Kurasu got from Mirai started to work. His body, which had originally been partially lost, was now beginning to heal as before.

Nue's power is completely mastered by Kurasu. The power of the curse that was passed down to the three guardian pillars, all of the magic that Kurasu used to fight Aora.

Even easily he used the sun Clan's defensive armor magic (the power of Nue's eyes), the Moon Clan's mind control magic (the will of Nue) and even Mirai's regeneration magic (belonging to the snow clan)

"You're laughing just because a clone got into your trap? Without you knowing it, you've been caught in my trap, Kurasu. "

Aora's heavy voice sounded. He mocked Kurasu.

Bughhhhh!

Aora suddenly appeared and floated a powerful blow to make Kurasu's body bounce. Kurasu could only round his eyes in disbelief.

How could? Wasn't Aora already dead from her successive attacks?
