章節 15: Final act?

Emma and her team were in front of a black, large, bubbling, cauldron. It was filled with a steaming dark green liquid, They laid Persephone on a chalk reverse summoning circle she was turning blue and still shaking, they finished the potion and Emma hurridly ran and tried to force some down Persephone's throat. She started to reject it choking on a lot of it but Emma didn't give up she poured some in her mouth and kissed her trying to get her to drink some, Emma pulled away and laid her back down. She started to stabilize and the circle started glowing green, tendrils of energy wrapped around her body encasing her in a cocoon of energy. Emma ( still red-faced) prayed for her safety. "CHARGE" Kei ran towards Alexander his footsteps shook the castle sounding like thunder, Alexander raised the sword, it was a European long sword with a black double-edged blade engraved with silver magical runes, a large brass hand guard, a handle wrapped in aged leather with brass studs for grip, and a brass pommel in the shape of a cross. He slashed the sword through the air sending a wave of energy towards Kei, it barely affected Kei but gave Alexander enough time to get passed him, Alexander rushed at Akame sword extended. Akame barred her fangs as she used her claws to brush the blade aside to the left, Alexander changed his direction spinning to the right arching the sword. She extended her claws and created an X to block, Alexander pressed harder starting to crack her claws, but he was too distracted to notice Kei behind him. Kei grabbed his head and clamped down, Alexander grunted in pain as Kei gripped his skull, Alexander pointed the pommel over his shoulder shooting another beam at Kei. The secret ability of the sword was purifying demonic spirits, as it hit Kei he dropped to his knees his head dealing with the pain of trying to break the curse. Akame jumped from behind slashing her claws down Alexanders back wanted to poison him, his back started steaming as the sword neutralized the poison. Alexander turned around his eyes full of rage because of everything she had caused, he swung the sword cutting off a few of her claws. She yelled in rage flying above both of them, Kei was still on the ground holding his head his brands flashing. Akame tried to swoop down to him but Alexander stood guard swinging, on her way down Alexander clipped one of her wings. She screamed in pain as the sword started dissolving her wing. Emma and all the other maids surrounded Persephone holding their breath, suddenly the energy cocoon started unraveling, Persephone stood up blinking at the light while Emma dropped her glass "Dear God". Sounds of ringing metal resounded throughout the castle Alexander sweating profusely as he got fatigued while Akame showed no signs of giving up she kept slashing and slashing pushing him farther back. Alexander kept trying to gain ground but was steadily being pushed up against the wall, Akame eventually pushed him back all the way and disarmed him of his sword. She stabbed and ripped her claws through his stomach wounding him, she was about to finish him off when a pair of strong dark arms wrapped around her head and neck. Kei had broken from his curse and put her in a headlock, rasing her off the ground. "L L Let me down, I didn't mean any harm" Akame tried to use her charm but Kei wasn't hearing it he just tightened his grip around her neck shutting her up. Alexander stood up holding his entrails in his hand he was covered in blood and on the verge of death but he had a smile on his face, he grabbed his sword and stabbed it through Akame then he collapsed on the ground. She shrieked in pain the sword starting to dissolve her existence but she still had a trick up her sleeve she unfurled her wings cutting Kei with them. He let go of her and she pulled out the sword and threw it behind her, weakened as she was she still tried to keep fighting. Then Persephone ran into the room but she had changed, her hair was pink, and her eyes red she had turned into a succubus. The sight of seeing her dad dead put her into a rage she screamed and picked up the sword, Akame made the mistake of turning around Kei grabbed her again and held her as Persephone charged. The blade pierced her heart but also Kei's, Akame dissolved into ash and Kei fell to the ground, Persephone realized what she had done and fell beside him trying to heal him. Kei awoke in a void of white light he blinked at the bright and tried to look around. He heard a booming voice "WELCOME" he looked up and saw a huge man dressed in all white with long white and billowing beard. "I AM THE GOD OF THIS WORLD, I HAVE BEEN MONITORING YOU SINCE YOU CAME HERE" he paused and looked at Kei with his milky eyes. Kei spoke up "why the hell is I here, in this world, and what happened to the princess---!" "SILENCE" Kei against his will shut up "I HAVE SUMMONED YOU HERE BECAUSE I NEED YOU TO BEAT THE DEMON KING, I WILL PROVIDE A MAP YOU MUST TRAVEL TO THE LOCATIONS AND COLLECT THESE ARTIFACTS ONLY THEN CAN YOU DEFEAT HIM". Kei had many questions but he couldn't ask because God started to disappear. "I SHALL SEE YOU SOONER THAN YOU EXPECT" he vanished and Kei turned around to see Alexander also clad in all white, "hello Kei, I hope you can watch over Persephone and the kingdom for me" he waved him farewell and Kei woke up back on earth. Persephone hugged him crying and Kei hugged him back he pulled away and looked into her tear-filled eyes and kissed her. Persephone was shocked but kissed him back after about 10 seconds they broke and Kei stood up to survey the damage. First, they had a royal burial for Alexander and his wife which they found dead in a workshop outside the castle with claw marks in her chest. The whole kingdom paid their respects and shut down all work for three days. Next, they had inauguration for Kei as the new king the pope of the land crowned him king, he was dressed in purple robes and held a royal scepter and had the regal look of a king. All the kingdom bowed before him and chanted "LONG LIVE THE KING". The next night was the wedding of Kei and Persephone, they had a large outdoor wedding and invited the whole kingdom, people were concerned with having a succubus as the queen but one look from Kei shut them up. And later that night the sound of a bed rocking could be heard all night long. They stayed in the castle getting the kingdom settled for a few months, Kei sat on his throne thinking about how at age 17 he was the ruler of a kingdom and how less than a year ago he was homeless. As he was thinking Persephone snuck up behind him nibbling on his neck, he laughed and swung her on his lap they were flirting and laughing when a guard rushed into the throne room. He bowed "my liege there is a--" a girl rushed in she was 121cm tall, porcelain skin, and long white-white hair. Kei looked into her honey eyes and she said: "I am your guide
