The weapon had a navy blue scabbard with red lines criss crossing and creating a deadly but beautiful pattern. It had a golden guard just below the hilt and a purple flame pattern all over the guard. The hilt was black and on the pummel connected to a thin black chain with purple veins was a black cat mask charm. Kurokiba's arm was marked with a circular crest that looked artistic and entrancing, it had one stroke to show the number of extars she currently had.
Kurokiba took the time to admire the weapon in her hands, it felt so right as it sat in her hand comfortably, unsheathing the sword, she admired the pure black blade that seems to suck in the light. The air distorted around the sword. Her hair flared up and a mist slowly surrounded her as her presence slowly faded into an illusion like state. A list of available abilities appeared before Kurokiba's vision. She scrolled for a while and picked the ability she thought best suited her combat with the rapier. It was called flash strike and allowed the user to attack multiple times in one attack. If trained to its peak one could perform a thousand attacks in one thrust.
"How beautiful." Kurokiba commented with pure emotion and admiration. In all her two live only one thing could compare to the beauty she saw before her, and that was his wife.
"Kurokiba what happened!" A panicked shrill forced her out of her stupor, she looked oddly at the sword, normally extars pass out during the process, but it seems Kuroka was not part of that norm due to her powerful soul.
"Haa, you just entered a drive state with me, I never thought it would be so, so majestic." Kurokiba spoke, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Kuroka was about to ask what he was on about, suddenly an odd feeling struck her, she felt as if she was floating, around her was a golden world with small spheres of light dancing around her. Images directly entered her brain and she could see her new form. She was also overcome with emotion when she witnessed it, no words could describe what she saw, so beautiful, majestic, innocent and yet so wild too. It was just overwhelming to look at.
"I- is that me? How could you see me like this, I'm not this perfect Kurokiba, I- I don't deserve such admiration." Kuroka said sadly, she never thought that Kurokiba viewed her with such love, so pure and unconditional. She didn't deserve this.
"I can't help how I feel, I love you, I love you so so much. "Kurokiba said sweetly.
Kuroka was struck speechless, she could only blush as she felt a foreign wave of emotion hit her.
The two remained silent for a few minutes, Kurokiba just admired what was before him while Kuroka digested all this new information.
"Hey, how about we test out what you're capable of?" Kurokiba asked, before Kuroka could reply a magic circle engulfed the two and they found themselves in a barren wasteland, judging from the air and atmosphere it was definitely the underworld.
Kuroka was surprised since she has been here before, and also because Kurokiba had used her magic to transport them.
Before she could even say anything, another shocking scene took place.
Kurokiba lowered her stance and placed her right leg slightly behind her. Putting all her weight on it, she channelled her intention into Kuroka, an illusionary tail sprouted from her back and cat ears formed atop her head. They shimmered in and out of reality as if an illusion. Her already keen senses intensified a thousand fold. She could smell life forms within 200 km and hear the movement of insects as clear as day. Her eyes had also never been clearer, her heart was calm and she felt one with the nature around her. Her magical energy had never been so easy to control before.
Feeling her strength increase tenfold, Kurokiba knew that she was now a juggernaut, with a violent push she sprang forward, a massive shockwave resounded all around the place, the earth was uprooted as he covered a kilometre distance with one step and in less than a second.
Kurokiba started swinging her sword with herculean strength, unlike her usual graceful sword style. Rocks were crushed, trenches were formed and craters were littered all around. Every step shook the Earth, every swing distorted the air, she moved so fast that the air heated up immensely around her.
She felt calm and in control, her brain processing information that would've broken her otherwise. Recovering from her rampage, Kurokiba stood straight and drew her sword. Channelling a portion of her magic, she lowered herself and focused.
"First form Hari raimei!!(Thunderclap needle!)" She screamed, red and black lighting converged onto the tip of her swords and with a bright explosion a very thin projectile full of compressed violent lightning rammed into a nearby mountain and completely destroyed it. The minerals melted into lava and the whole place shook. Her attack kept advancing and destroying everything in its way until it stopped leaving a big scar, due to the underworld's durability her attack was not disastrous, if it was back on the surface world she could've caused much more damage.
Kurokiba once again steadied her stance, she pointed her sword downward diagonally, with her left she raised her scabbard.
"Demon's hand, first form Akuma no yubi no sutorōku!!(stroke of the demon's finger)." As she spoke, Kurokiba slowly raised her sword, an image of a demonic being formed behind her, she swung her rapier in tandem with the demon as it swung its index finger. Although the technique was suited for slashing weapons Kurokiba felt confident she would see something awesome either way.
Whatever was left from the first attack was cleaved in half from the second one, a deep crevice formed on the ground and delayed explosions went off one after the other. The intensity of this attack was comparable to a small nuclear missile. A mushroom cloud formed in a radius of 25 kilometers and everything was incinerated.
Seeing this, Kurokiba refrained from going further. Seeing all the destruction she caused, she decided it would be best to leave immediately, she closed her eyes and teleported back to the mansion.
