Kapitel 46: 46. Missions Complete
In an abandoned city and a historic battlefield of thousands of years ago. There appear to be monolithic structures resembling shrines standing tall everywhere. Strange trees growing out of the ground and displacing stone tiles create a scene like a sea of trees. The ruins were originally built from special materials, thus allowing these structures to withstand erosion from wind and rain over a millennium.
However, not far from the abandoned city, stood a colosseum that seemed to have been refurbished and was packed with people.
No doubt, a tournament was held there which was called the Blade Dance Tournament.
The original plan, the Blade Dance Tournament, would use a team system where one team consisted of 3 people. However, due to the Elemental Lords wanting a one-on-one duel, the system was immediately changed.
The seats in the colosseum were full of spectators cheering for the finalists of the tournament. What was surprising about the tournament was that the only male Elementalist and the only Elementalist who had two contracted spirits appeared before the world.
Thanks to what one of his old contracted spirits did, he awakened Demon King Solomon's power before he advanced to the final match.

In front of him, a girl skillfully parried and counterattacked even though the battle was dominated by him. The boy was Kamito and the girl was Kuroneko.
Kuroneko's contracted spirit was a sacred beast spirit, the azure dragon. Her sword glowed in a pale blue color containing divine energy within and two elements as innate abilities.
Despite fighting Kamito's two contracted spirits that merged into one, Kuroneko's contracted spirit was still equally powerful as those two contracted spirits.
Kuroneko herself who had been in that world for three months had developed in terms of strength and sword technique. The Internal Body Cleanser that she consumed also had a tremendous effect and an important role to play in her development.
Furthermore, her contracted spirit was both DPS and self-support type. In a battle, Nana, which was the name of Kuroneko's contracted spirit, could circulate the divine energy to create translucent dragon scales to cover her body as protection. Even though they didn't have full protection, at least those transparent scales could reduce incoming damage by 70%. Another buff of Kuroneko's contracted spirit is that it allows Kuroneko to circulate the divine energy from Nana into her body to increase her strength, speed, and reflexes.
Meanwhile, on the attack side, Nana could help Kuroneko by creating the lightning or wind containing divine energy as an attack at the expense of Kuroneko's energy as a fee. The amount of attack power was based on how much energy she'd expend.
The good thing was that even using a small amount of energy was already enough to perform a powerful attack.
Against Kamito, Kuroneko increased her strength little by little to get Kamito cornered and forced him to use the power of his awakened Demon King Solomon. As soon as he used his power, Kamito's strength overflowed and began to dominate the battle. To his surprise, Kuroneko slowly started to match Kamito's movement and attack speed by parrying or dodging as if Kuroneko was using him as a training partner.
A few minutes later, Kamito's breathing began to get heavy as his strength began to decline. Then, he heard a chuckle.
"Ufufufu. It is time for thy to bow before this Queen!"
Kuroneko could see that her plan to exhaust Kamito was quite successful. She had always noticed that Kamito had always used the power of the Demon King Solomon for a short period of time. That meant Kamito's body couldn't handle its power yet. That was why she had deliberately bought time and wasted Kamito's energy.
Kamito gritted his teeth. Then, he began to chant.
"O black blade of darkness, capable of crushing the scales of dragons, annihilate mine enemies—"
Kuroneko could only frown.
"Humph. Thou art never learn." After she said that, she chanted.
"O supreme conqueror of the sky, lightning thunder that incinerates even souls to nothingness, tempest capable of leveling the earth, I beseech thee, let the collapse of thine origin manifest—"
Then, the two of them attacked simultaneously.
"Arc Blast!"
"Lightning Hurricane!"
The dark energy unleashed from Kamito's sword. At the same time, a hurricane covered with lightning was formed from Kuroneko's sword.
When those two energies clashed, the cloud in the sky changed its shape and formed a huge cyclone. The shockwave of the clash earlier sent Kamito and Kuroneko flying. Luckily for Kuroneko who only spent half her strength in the final round, she was able to withstand the shockwave from falling out of the arena. Meanwhile, Kamito, who was exhausted, couldn't hold it in and was thrown all the way to the wall between the audience and the arena platform.

On a vast plateau without any trees, stood a huge, sturdy gate that looked like an ancient Greek building out of place. In addition, the huge gate also didn't show the building behind it and it could be said that the gate was only a single building.
The gate was covered by an enormous tree that was spiraling around the gate. Not only that but the gate was also covered by a fort made of wood and multiple layers of solid earth walls.
There, four people who were none other than Warrod, Kakashi, Rori, and Kazuma were fighting against the army. Ah no, Kazuma didn't count because he was just running right here and right there, intending to escape the encirclement of the soldiers.
"Ah, help! Help me!"
"Doton: Doryuuheki!"
Kakashi placed his hand on the ground, and the ground was erected with Kazuma on it.
"Hey, at this rate, the enemy won't stop attacking. We'd better kill them all than knock them out!" Rori suggested it to Warrod and the others.
The reason why they were attacked by the army was that there was an army commander who heard that Warrod and the others wanted to destroy the gate. They got orders from the empire to try to investigate what was behind that gate. Thus, the army commander ordered to attack Warrod and the others after hearing what they were about to do.
Both sides of the gate were covered by Warrod's magic and Kakashi's Ninjutsu. The gate that was on the Japanese side couldn't be destroyed with ordinary firearms. Fire from the Tanks might be effective, but the trees couldn't be destroyed in one hit. If attacked multiple times, it will affect geography.
The Japanese government didn't want to do that unless the situation was urgent. That's why they tried slowly to destroy the trees and multiple solid earth walls that covered the giant gate.
Kakashi who listened to Rori couldn't help but sigh. He didn't want to kill people he thought were innocent. Likewise with Warrod.
"If you don't want to, I'll do it myself."
"Don't!" Warrod tried to stop her. But, it was too late.
Rori raised her halberd and swung it with all her might. The aftereffect of the swing caused a slash of wind to be created and split the bodies of the dozens of soldiers in half.
Immediately after, she felt sexual arousal like consuming an aphrodisiac after the souls of the fallen soldiers were passed her body before being drawn to the afterlife.
Despite seeing Rori's state like that, the soldiers stopped attacking and instead stepped back in fear.
"Hey, don't be reckless!" Kakashi approached her. But then, Rori grabbed Kakashi's hand and held it tightly. Rori looked at Kakashi with a grin and with a blush on her face. Kakashi gulped seeing her alluring face as she got aroused.
Everyone already knew that Rori would get aroused when someone died near her. However, since Rori knew that Warrod and Kakashi were also strong, she dared to take the initiative even though she would be helpless later.
"Ufufufu. Were you looking forward to me getting aroused? You're being naughty, aren't you?" Rori teased Kakashi.
"Ahh, dammit normies! Go explode!" Kazuma shouted at them. He was pissed when he saw them so intimate.
"A little brat like you shouldn't be jealous." Rori chuckled at Kazuma.
But, Kazuma replied,
"If you think I'm a brat, then so is Kakashi! After all, you're a gran—"
*Bang*
As if teleporting, Rori suddenly appeared by slamming Kazuma's head on the ground. Luckily Rori still held back, otherwise, Kazuma's life couldn't be saved.
Meanwhile, Kakashi slapped his forehead. He thought that Kazuma had a death wish by saying that.
Rori calmed herself. Then, she approached Kakashi and Warrod while asking.
"Have you two ever participated in a war between countries?"
Both Warrod and Kakashi nodded. Both had participated in wars in their youth.
"Then you know that the losers will die and the defenseless will be enslaved, right? The Empire and its vassal kingdoms in this world want to invade Japan. Luckily, you guys were there to thwart their initial invasion, or else? I'm sure a lot of people were brought here to be enslaved. For men, the weak will be killed, the strong will be left alive. If it's women, they will be made into sex slaves."
After Rori said that, Warrod and Kakashi fell silent. They had indeed participated in wars, but the fate of the losers was different from what Rori had said. The losers of the war would indeed be killed, even in their world, the living would only be fugitives, human experiments, or brainwashed to change sides.
Rori shook her head.
"I can't believe you guys are still naive despite having participated in the war. Well, the empire and the vassal kingdoms will probably feel some of the results of their first invasion. Though soon enough, the Japanese would strike back here using their modern weapons that might wipe out the combined armies of the empire and kingdoms. I immediately knew when I saw some of the weapons used and the vehicles driven by the Japanese soldiers."
Feeling that Rori's words were not just nonsense, Warrod and Kakashi ended up taking things more seriously. They finally started a large-scale attack. Although they didn't kill many people, half of the army including the generals that had been dealt forced the remaining soldiers to retreat.
After that, Warrod used a Ninjutsu that absorbed more than half the power from the gate. Since the gate was already weakened, Rori, who had the most power out of them, immediately attacked the gate with all her might.
*Boom*
The gate crumbled instantly.
