(Did I feel regret?)
There are three people stans tense one was a black-haired boy, the front of him was a lilac haired girl that is holding a massive shield, and in front of her, there is a white-haired girl as she pointing her finger like a gun, as they wait there tense and confused, as they ready their weapon and magic against a purple-clad man as holding his greatsword that is almost his hight on his right hand and his left hand he holds an unusual carved Dagger.
The purple-clad man spoke once again "Do you know what's the difference between a king and his horse?" asked the purple-clad man once again towards the trio he continued.
"What do you mean by that?" asked the white-haired magus towards the purple-clad man but the purple-clad man as he put a deaf ear towards the young magus.
"I'm not talking about the obvious stuff like one's an animal and one's a person, or one's have two legs and ones have four," said the purple-clad man as he gazes towards the black-haired boy. while He put his left hand that is holding the dagger crossing to his right arm and his great sword pointing in front of him as he lowered his head as his eyes glow purple under the shadow of his hat.
[Ritsuka Fujimaru POV]
I feel the purple-clad man's gazes of the person named himself Eveel, I don't know why to turn to this and he asked us a weird question but I feel like it's was more aim to me.
When I have broken out of my thoughts I see the man looking toward me as I look at the purple-clad man see his glowing purple eyes As it glows under his hat, I see him raised his massive greatsword on his right arm and the unusual dagger that he is holding on his left hand as he crosses his arm in a weird manner.
Suddenly he seems to disappear from my line of sight when I look around me frantically try to find him I see a purple blurred in front of me and mash I see him appear beside the director as he round housed kick the director I see her get hit in the ribcage as she got kicked away a couple of meters and hit a wall near us, he seems to attack with the intent to kill us.
"Director!?" I could hear doctor Romans screams not too far away from me
when Eveel was near me and mash He does a horizontal slash towards me but it was blocked by mash shield as sparks from the clash when I see mash was in a tough position I was broken out of my thoughts when the purple-clad man spoke again.
"Form, ability, and power," said Eveel as he spoke again towards me. He continues
[End POV]
"And that's what's puzzling," said the purple-clad man as the area engulfed in silence for a second as he continues attacks towards the lilac-haired shield girl as hit her shield with his greatsword and dagger as he slashes and stabs.
As the sound of steel hitting steel revert the area as sparks from the onslaught of attacks from the purple-clad man continue as it the lilac hair girl shield.
He continues to speak " if their form and ability and power exactly the same why is it one becomes the king and leads them into battle, and while the other becomes the horse and carries the king," after he said that he swung his greatsword hard enough to sent the lilac hair girl flying a couple of hundred meters from the previous location as he walked towards the black-haired boy.
The black hair boy wants to run towards the lilac hair girl to help her but was cut off by a silver blade, a golden hilt that is round and has a wave-like pattern, and the black hilt katana stops him from his path towards the lilac hair girl.
The black hair boy turns around he sees the purple-clad man, only a couple of meters in front of him as he can only see his glowing purple eyes and his mouth from his line of sight. as the purple-clad man leans in front of the black hair boy the distance between the two is now only centimeters apart
"So tell me Ritsuka Fujimaru, what's the characteristic that distinguishes these two beings?" asked the purple-clad man towards the black-haired boy, as the boy open and closing his mouth like a goldfish don't know what to answer the purple-clad man and confused.
"There is only one answered," said the purple-clad man as he smiled towards the black-haired boy. as the black-haired boy as he steps back one step at a time to the area near the sword, but the purple-clad man follows him.
when the black-haired boy near the silver katana is stabbed in the concrete floor. he pulls it from the ground to grab the hilt of the silver blade he rushed towards the purple-clad man as he tries to stab the purple-clad man, but it ultimately failed as the purple-clad man just parry the attack with his dagger.
The purple-clad man drags his greatsword to the ground as he sent a front kick towards his abdomen as it sends him backward a couple of meters the black-haired boy try to stand back up but failed because his chest heavily hurt.
"INSTINCT!" yelled the purple-clad man towards the black-haired boy that is now in the ground on one knee as he breathing heavily from the purple-clad man's attack. the man walked slowly in the black-haired boy's direction. as he continued speaking.
"in order for identical beings to get stronger and gain power, they need to develop a killer instinct, and that instinct is mostly forged in battle," said the purple-clad man as he waves his lift his right hand that is holding his greatsword and blocks a magical attack that came flying towards him with his greatsword as the impacted make laud explosion and cover the man with dark clouds.
But the purple-clad man didn't feel the attack from the little magus as walked out of the fog of smoke and walked closer towards the black-haired boy as he seems to try to stand from his spot but failed. the man continued to speak
"They must develop an insatiable hunger for battle to engaged in battle, they must live to mercilessly crush, shred and slice their enemy," said the man as he now in front of the heavily breathing black-haired boy as he looks up to the purple-clad man in the eyes.
"This thirst for power is not an unnatural desire, in fact, it forms the very essence of our being," spoke the purple-clad man toward the kneeling black-haired boy no too far in front of him.
The purple-clad man moves as he leans forward to the words of the black-haired boy and spoke.
"My friend, you don't have that," said the purple-clad man as he looked down at the black-haired boy. As the purple-clad man grab the chin of the kneeling boy as he looks at the boy in the eyes.
"And the simple matter is, your weak, RITSUKA FUJIMARU!"
"You must be thinking 'why you're doing this?', 'why does he mean by that?', and 'is Mash is all right?' isn't that right," said the man toward the black-haired boy.
"You are merely a droplet of water in wide-open ocean sea, so what you have 'servant' I don't want someone who's hesitations will end up you and your 'servant' cut to pieces" spoke the man toward the boys
"You know why I'm saying this?, You need to open your eyes and look at reality this is not a game even if you have an iron will, you are not a battle harden warrior, you are merely a naive child that doesn't know the cruelty of humanity and the gods," spoke the purple-clad man with hate, disdain, and rage when spoke gods. As he raised his greatsword above his head with his right arm.
He Slashes from above his head as his greatsword falls toward the boy's direction when slash you could see the wind being cut from his simple slash. When he near the black-haired boy suddenly a lilac blur appears in front of the purple-clad man. and multiple high concentrated magic attacks appear on his right side multiple explosions and smoke appear as they hit the purple-clad man.
as the sound of metal hitting metal revert the area once again as it broke the sound of an explosion from the greatsword hitting the shield of the lilac-haired girl and multiple explosions and smoke appear as they hit the purple-clad man from his right from the white-haired magus.
