The Cursed Bloodline
The Beginning of an End Arc: Duel pt. 2

Kurasu's body bounced back, Aora's kick hit her head and hit her face. Blood was flowing at the corner of his lips, Kurasu still could not believe what was happening to Aora.

"B-how is that possible? "

Without Kurasu noticing, Aora used her clone to deceive Kuarsu. Arguably, Aora was one step ahead when it came to dealing with tactics. Aora accidentally sends a magic clone, so that he seems to enter the game Kurasu. And to fool Kurasu, he let his clone carry Shiba's sword. That way, Kurasu will not realize, that the one facing him is just a magic clone.

While the original Aora's body flew away to prepare the next plan. In just a moment, Aora returned to the battlefield. A very precise time, when Kurasu managed to trap his Clon, as it had already happened, Aora floated a kick when Kurasu was off guard.

Aora smiled wryly, looking at Kurasu's face crimson because it had been eaten by her trap.

" I don't know, maybe because you underestimated me too much? You assume, you are the most powerful and always underestimate your opponent.

So, how does it feel, facing off against an opponent who is playing you, Kurasu? "

Aora is back to heat up Kurasu. He also issued a small hourglass. As the eclipse nears its end, Aora realizes she must end the fight soon.

His gyokunya energy was almost weakened. The strength that Aorasu lent was indeed unusually strong, but according to the agreement, the great power had a short time limit.

I need to end this fight immediately. But to defeat Kurasu, I need a little time for the 'object' to be active.

I have to buy time by luring his emotions out!

Aora stared at the hourglass that kept moving down. He had already prepared the final attack, and to realize his plan, he only needed to buy time for 15 minutes.

Kurasu smiled wryly, her gaze now turning sinister. The glint of anger on both of his blood red irises was clearly visible. A black aura even enveloped his entire body.

" Shut your mouth!"

Brass!

Kurasu shot towards Aora. The two resumed the fight, this time using only physical attacks without the help of any weapons.

Kurasu threw a punch towards Aora, her large and stocky physique giving her the fortitude to punch a deadly fist. The Kurasu movement is also agile, not only magic, Kurasu is also proficient in melee combat like this.

Aora could still compensate for Kurasu's fighting ability, as the former captain of the white Cloud Cops, naturally her physical strength could not be underestimated just like that. Even without a weapon in her hands, Aora was able to defeat at least 50 military men just by relying on her melee fighting abilities.

Aora retaliated against Kurasu's attack, a crushing blow back drifting into Kurasu's face. But the black-haired man instantly countered Aora's attack, a kick hitting Aora's ribs.

Brassiere!

Aora bounced around, her body crashing into a rock cliff that made her fall to the ground. Aora's deep wounds got, even in that condition, she had seen time in her hourglass. Range time 8 minutes remaining.

Aora glanced towards the sky, a bright light began to appear in the nine corners of the wind eye. A little more, the plan will be launched soon.

"A little bit more, it'll all be over! "

Kurasu darted at full force, pushing Aora's body still on the ground. He kicked in a row he threw into Aora's body. Kurasu did so very brutally, as if every kick he threw into Aora's body was the reply of the ridicule he received just a moment ago.

Bugs!

"How dare a man of your bicycle teach me! "

Kurasu grabbed Aora by the neck and raised her height. Aora's feet no longer even touched the ground. Gyoku Kurasu begins to absorb Aora's life energy. Little by little, Aora's soul is sucked up by Kurasu.

Aora should have survived, clutching Kurasu's hands that strangled her neck. Aora's power is weakening.

" Agh! You still don't realize what your mistake was Kurasu. Even 10,000 years have passed, but you still consider what you believe to be true.

Know it? You are selfish, even when your brother and the Snow Goddess give you a chance to reflect on your mistakes. You actually consider the attitude of your friends as a form of betrayal! "

Although in a cornered condition, Aora could still express her opinion. To him, Kurasu was nothing more than a selfish figure who only believed in things from his own point of view.

" I'm never wrong, and that never changes one bit. Humans are born with greed that shackles the soul and blinds their eyes. Until man is present in the world, there will be no end to fighting and fighting. Suffering will continue to haunt.

They will continue to hurt each other, until everything they want becomes their own. Until without them knowing, they actually turned to hurt the people they should protect. That circle of demons, will never end until man is wiped off the face of this earth! "

" But! " Aora interrupted Kurasu's speech, with a sharp look of eyes she looked at Kurasu growled.

Aora remembered her friends in Sora. After her father's departure, Aora lives in a shadow of vengeance for her brother. He only attaches importance to his purpose, and lives without the slightest empathy. For Aora, whoever stands in her way deserves to be killed. No exception colleagues in one mission team.

Inside that slump, Chairman Zen extended his warm hand. Patiently, Zen embraces Aora and takes her down a light-filled path with her. His friends were always there, they gave Aora a real meaning to life. Slowly Aora could forget her suffering, and look at the world from a different angle.

Aora realized, the world is not just a place of suffering, but a place where you find people who struggle with you. Indeed, suffering exists to make people more open-minded and mature.

Without her teacher and friends, Aora might have turned into a cold-blooded demon like Kurasu.

"Manuisa is a creature that can never be guessed. Their hearts are too deep to read. Easily changeable and shaky. Even a piece of trash, can turn into a hero even at the last second of his life (Tanuki)! "

Aora gathers her powers, even though her star gyoku powers are already weakened. Aora was still able to hold on with the strength she had.

" I realized, I'm never alone! Out there, my friends are waiting for me! "

Aora felt an urge arise, the warm hands of those she loved began to reach her shoulders.

You can do it, Aora! We believe you!

Zen, Mirai, Yora, Ten, Rou, Hanna, Hotaru, Hisui, even his father and mother, and all the people he knew seemed to be present behind him and gave him a motivation, it began to awaken the true power within Aora.

That power was not Aorasu's granting power, it was purely because Aora believed her friends were there to support her winning the battle this time around.

Aora gripped Kurasu's arm firmly, making Kurasu's entanglement begin to weaken.

"They all believe in me! "

Kurasu could only round his eyes, before Aora's power was almost wiped out. Plus his battered body, why would he be able to gather this much strength?

Brass!

Aora pushes Kurasu's body. With his magic, he made Shiba's sword return to his grasp. Time in the hourglass is running low. Quickly, Aora slashed at Kurasu's body using Shiba's sword.

"Arkh! "

Shiba's sword force crept out and ensnared Kurasu's body. The darkness energy in his body was sealed. He can't squint at all.

Aora glanced at the sky around her, a light one by one appearing on all nine sides. The light came from the power of the gyoku constellation that Aora planted in the nine directions.

" Someone taught me. That no matter how strong you are, if you do all things alone. You will only find failure.

And you, Kurasu, are proof that these words are true. " Aora repeated the words that Zen had taught her.

" Fuck you Aora, you think it's gonna end here? I will be born as darkness, and haunt all your descendants! Camn it! "

Aora's body slowly began to lift, she completely ignored Kurasu's words. Aora plans to end all this mess here. He promised himself, in the future there will be no other Kurasu-Kurasu figure that will threaten the peace of the earth.

Aora's body was flying higher and higher, her gaze still fixed on Kurasu below. Until, a bright magic beam ensnared Kurasu's body from nine different directions. The beam continued to stumble until it created a huge energy that was ready to explode.

Aora had already reached the highest point, she looked into her star gyoku which had already dimmed.

"The curse that runs in our blood. I assure you, this suffering will never be felt by our descendants in the future.

Vanish away! Kurasu! "

Aora spread out her hands, an explosion was created. The explosion is powerful enough to destroy a planet along with Kurasu inside.

......................

On the other hand, the dark power in Mirai's body had not disappeared in the slightest. After all, Nue was still sealed within his soul. The wounds on Mirai's body still shed his special blood.

In the darkness of the lagit, a flickering light appeared. A blue-winged butterfly with mystical powers began flying closer to Mirai. Surrounding the girl's body, the magic powder coming out from the flapping of her wings began to heal one by one the wounds on Mirai's body.

"Mirai." murmured that soft voice.

The beautiful butterfly then reached Mirai's shoulder, slowly magic rays filled the butterfly's wings and it disappeared instantly.
