The two men faced each other in an abandoned house.
Without any hesitation, Ray headed straight for Gerard who momentarily lost his sight.
“Your back. ” (Ray)
“I'm sorry to say it but I saw you. “(Gerard)
Gerard turned around and prepared his shield to intercept the unique sword but at that moment he slashed his back.
“Guh…. !! ” (Gerard)
“I told you your back. ” (Ray)
In an instant Gerard reacted and turned around, Ray moved behind him again and slashed at him.
A normal person would definitely die from that slash but as expected of my mazoku 2000 years ago, his body was strong.
“… ..As expected of someone from the chaos generation. For my current mazoku you are pretty good, however…. . “(Gerard)
Gerard's shield emitted a gloomy blue light and Ray's back suddenly burst into tears and spurted blood.
Ray's wounds are clearly deeper than Gerards's.
“Ray-san!” (Misa)
“I'm fine . ” (Ray)
Ignoring his injuries, Ray focused on the shield.
“It's damned, so. ” (Ray)
Gerard nodded.
“Majun Genias's. It is a magical tool that curses the person who injures its user with the same but multiplied wounds and pains. As long as I hold this shield, you will be injured more than me. “(Gerard)
“Bulkah?” (Ray)
Ray stepped forward and swung Sigshesta down.
“Fuu .....!” (Ray)
Rotating his body, Gerard blocks Sigshesta with Genias.
Or rather he would do it but the blade changed its course halfway.
“I'll eat first. ” (Ray)
Gerard's right hand was amputated on his wrist and fell still holding Genias.
“Haaa!” (Ray)
Quickly reversing his punch Ray swung Gerard's neck and fresh blood scattered, however, Gerard's head was still clinging as Ray's right hand still holding Sigshesta fell to the floor.
“I said as long as I held the shield but it was a lie. You are a good swordsman but you are a little too honest. Even if I no longer hold it back, the curse will not disappear unless the shield is broken. “(Gerard)
“I saw . Unfortunately, I am not a tactician. ” (Ray)
With a cold smile, Ray used the Total Complete Demon Healing on his wrist but it did not heal at all.
“Free only . Because curse recovery magic won't work. “(Gerard)
“It was very unfortunate. ” (Ray)
Ray took Sigshesta with his left hand.
“Why don't you heal your hands and back?” (Ray)
“Why yes?” (Buezz)
“That curse strengthens and restores the wounds that its user receives, but does it also stop your healing?” (Ray)
“Who knows? It might stop him or I could just pretend and be able to heal myself at any time. “(Gerard)
He basically said he had a tremendous advantage here.
“Do you have the courage to test it?” (Buezz)
“Of course I will test it. ” (Ray)
Stepping forward without a care Ray's slash on Gerard's left leg spread more blood.
The light on the shield increases and the curse activates Ray's cutting of thighs deeper than Gerard's.
Without a care, Ray continued.
“Fuu !!” (Ray)
As he swung his sword with all his might on Gerard's shoulder, Gerard Raises Genias and Ray connected with the shield instead of causing a strange sound to be heard.
“Finally got you. “(Gerard)
As Gerard was speaking, the curse slashed down on Ray's shoulder.
“…. Kins ……. . ! ” (Ray)
Ray fell on one knee.
“I never said the curse would not activate if I was blocked with a shield. Gerard said he never violated his polite behavior.
“You should have understood from this that you can't win here because you're not an expert in magic. “(Gerard)
“...... I want to know about that .....” (Ray)
Ray stood up slowly.
“Do you know who I am?” (Ray)
“Yes, I know you well. The demon sword saint Ray Grandori. You are not good at magic but your skill with swords and your ability to grow in the heat of battle is not inferior to my mazoku from 2000 years ago. And yet. “(Gerard)
Gerard drew a magic formation and drew a sword from it. It had the same blue gem in it that his shield had. It was most likely also a cursed item.
“No matter how much you grow, any wounds you give me are returned to you. Unfortunately, you lack experience while fighting against the power of the curse king. “(Gerard)
Gerard stepped towards Ray and swung his cursed sword down with all his might to Ray's head which blocked him with Sigshesta. Where the two swords clashed, Gerard's doomed sword chipped away easily.
Ray frowned because the cursed sword was too fragile.
Immediately after that a puncture wound appeared on his chest. The curse moves the wound in question.
“……. Guu ..... ”(Ray)
In an instant Ray flinched, Gerard swung his sword to the side.
When Ray caught it with Sigshesta Gerard laughing as if it was his victory.
“Naif . ” (Ray)
“... What…. “(Gerard)
Ray took the full force of the punch and twisted it without cutting the blade.
“…. . Fuu…. . !! ” (Ray)
Sigshesta blinked and Gerard lowered his head just in time to avoid beheading.
“Do you think that the curse will not work if you kill me in one hit?” (Buezz)
“It's worth a try. ” (Ray)
Gerard tries to stand back up but Ray takes a sweeping kick that makes him fall to the floor. Since Ray did not cause any damage, there was no damage to his back but his posture was broken.
Ray flees from Gerard but his goal is not to escape but the shield that Gerard has dropped.
“Kuu…. !! ” (Ray)
Gerard chases after him but he can't catch up to Ray before the shield is within range.
“…. . Haa …… !! ” (Ray)
Using his entire body, Ray pushed Sigshesta towards Genias and pierced through it.
“Betapa unfortunately . ” (Ray)
Gerard laughed gracefully at Ray's words.
“Yes that's because unfortunately this is your defeat. “(Gerard)
One of the gems in the shield was shattered and Ray suddenly fell forward.
“I've told you this before but you're too honest. When I say that the curse can only be broken if the shield is broken, I lie. “(Gerard)
“... Ray-san!” (Misa)
Gerard picked up the shield lying on the ground.
“Free only . If you damage the shield enough to destroy one of the jewels, the curse will destroy your origin. His body may be fine but his origin has been lost. He's not coming back. “(Gerard)
Gerard turned to face Misa and started walking towards her.
“……. . In other words . ” (Ray)
A voice called out and it was not the voice Gerard expected.
“If I destroy 3 other gems, the curse will be destroyed?” (Ray)
“…. . Ap …… !? ” (Gerard)
At this moment Gerard flipped over the three flashes of light that shot out and the three gems broke.
The curse is activated and Ray falls to the floor again.
The magic power of Genias disappeared and the gloomy light faded away.
“……. The wound healed…. ? ” (Gerard)
Gerard watched Ray's hands, back and other wounds heal in astonishment.
“Do you not know? Most curses target the origin of the intended victim so that the curse temporarily loses its effect when the origin is destroyed. ” (Ray)
Ray stood up like nothing had happened and in place of Sigshesta he held a holy sword that shone brightly.
“You should be careful around people with more than one origin. ” (Ray)
Gerard gulps.
“... Force ....... sible …… !? ” (Gerard)
Gerard stayed away from her because he was afraid of the man in front of her.
Now that Ray has stopped hiding his origin, Gerard can see them clearly with his demonic eyes.
“..... Seven origin ....... and the spirit god Evansmana sword…. . “(Gerard)
“It was 2000 years ago when I last met the curse king. Does he think my plan worked out completely? ” (Ray)
Ray secretly prepared Evansmana.
The war between Azeshion and Deiruheido must be known by the curse king to some degree, but he may not be fully aware of what is happening for fear of being detected if he gets too close.
“…. . Heroes ...... Kanon.... . You're still alive— “(Gerard)
Ray pushed Evansmana into Gerard's heart before he finished speaking.
“Guhaa…. . “(Gerard)
“It's a shame to be told that I'm too honest. It's probably because I've been living a lie longer than you. ” (Ray)
If he puts more power into the Evansmana origin Gerard will disappear.
“I will ask again. ” (Ray)
Gerard looked at Ray with an expression that said he was ready to die.
“Where did you get half that sword?” (Ray)
Gerard gritted his teeth firmly before replying.
“…. It is impossible for me to answer that question .... ”(Gerard).
Gerard thrust his own sword into his chest.
It quickly pulled Evansmana out of the Ray cast but Gerard did not get up.
Mass timidly approached the fallen Gerard, but there was no sign that he would wake up.
“...... Is the origin destroyed...?” (Misa)
Ray shook his head.
“No . It looks like he's reincarnated. ” (Ray)
