Re:Zero All Sins

"Fura!"

As then a blast of wind his Leo sending him back, with a few of the Cult members, as then landing was Rem.

Rem looked at Subaru as she spoke. "Are you Ok".

Subaru looked as he spoken. "Yeah". He then wonder to him self. "But why are they after me".

[Typhon then spoke in his head. "That probably because of me big brother they have the Authority of Pride in that Box, it is not used yeat]

Subaru hen spoke in his mind. "Just what I needed".

He then actived [Invisible Providences] as the invisible Shadow arms moved and sent him back, as Koyami floaties news Subaru.

Subaru looked at him as he Spoke. "Koyami let's do a combined Light (Yang) attack, on some of them, Rem close your eyes".

Rem immediately followed Subaru's instructions, shutting her eyes without hesitation. Meanwhile, Koyami's form shifted, the Yin-Yang spirit responding to Subaru's command. A radiant glow of Yang energy began forming between them.

Subaru raised his hand, channeling the light-based energy from Koyami into a concentrated force. The Witch Cultists, recognizing the incoming attack, braced themselves, but Leo simply smirked.

"Light magic? Do you think that will stop me?" Leo mocked, his own energy flaring.

Subaru ignored him, focusing on the attack. "Koyami—now!"

Koyami pulsed with energy as a powerful beam of Yang Light erupted from Subaru's hands, illuminating the battlefield. The blast tore through the air, instantly incinerating several Witch Cultists who failed to react in time.

Leo barely managed to shield himself, but even he staggered backward, his robes slightly burned. "Tch, this light-based power… not bad."

As the attack ended, Subaru exhaled, gripping his sword. "Rem, we're taking this guy down before he can use that box."

Rem nodded, spinning her mace-flail. "Understood, Subaru-kun."

Leo chuckled, his eyes glinting with dark amusement. "You think you can stop me? Then come. Show me your worth, 'Champion of the Witches'!"

Subaru's eyes widened slightly. How does he know about that?!

No time to think.

Leo then started too laugh, as Subaru then spoke. "Why are you laughing".

Leo looked as he spoke. "Simple, if you are here and that made as well, and if Elsa is at the Mantion who is protecting it from my man".

Rem then spoke. "My sister". As then she released as she spoke in horror releasing that Elsa was also there. "My Sister".

Subaru's eyes widened in realization. Ram was alone against Elsa.

"Crap!" he cursed. "Rem, go! Your sister needs backup—now!"

Rem hesitated for only a moment before nodding. "Be careful, Subaru-kun!" Without another word, she turned and dashed toward the mansion at full speed, her mace flail clenched tightly in her grip.

Leo grinned. "Oh? Splitting up? That makes things easier."

Subaru tightened his hold on his blade, eyes narrowing. "You think so?"

Just then, Koyami pulsed, and Subaru activated [Phantom Blade Mastery], his sword glowing with eerie energy. "You're not getting anywhere near the mansion."

Leo smirked as he slowly raised the box containing the Pride Witch Factor. "Oh, but I don't need to."

Suddenly, the box trembled. Dark energy seeped out, twisting unnaturally as if something inside was struggling to awaken.

Subaru's heart pounded. What the hell is in there?!

[Typhon spoke in his head, her voice serious for once. "Big Brother… whatever is in that box, it's dangerous. We need to destroy it before it fully manifests."]

Subaru gritted his teeth. "Then we'll make sure that doesn't happen!"

Leo grinned. "Too late."

With those words, the box shattered open.

A black aura exploded from within, spreading across the battlefield like a storm of corruption. Shadows twisted unnaturally, and an eerie voice whispered through the air.

Subaru felt a terrifying presence wash over him, as if something ancient had just been unleashed.

Leo's laughter echoed through the chaos.

"Behold—the rebirth of Pride!"

Both Subaru and Meili was covered by energy, as then Leo spoke. "Let's see how much Virtues".

Subaru saw scale, as then it water down, as Subaru whole body cracked and broke as he died

Ding!

[Return By Death Actived]

Subaru hold his heart getting up, as he was in the Hanging Garden, as then Both Minerva and Satella went too him, and so did the other witch

Minerva looked as he spoke. "Deep breath, take deep breath Dear".

Subaru gasped for air, his chest rising and falling erratically as his body trembled from the lingering pain of his death. His mind was still processing what had just happened.

Leo's "Virtue Scale"—whatever it was—had completely shattered his body. He hadn't even had time to react.

Minerva pressed her hands against his chest, golden energy flowing into him. "You're okay now. Deep breaths, Subaru. Slowly."

Satella knelt beside him, her purple eyes filled with concern. "I hate seeing you like this..." she whispered, reaching out to touch his face gently.

The other witches gathered around him, all looking serious. Even Typhon, who usually had a playful attitude, had a frown on her face.

Echidna looked at him. With worry, her mind clearly working through the information. "So… that ability. It wasn't just an attack. It judged you."

Subaru finally managed to speak, his voice hoarse. "Yeah… I saw a scale appear. It… weighed me. And then… my whole body just… broke apart."

Sekhmet yawned, but there was a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Sounds like… some kind of divine punishment~. A concept-based attack~."

Daphne tilted her head, rocking back and forth in her seat. "Mmm~! If it's like that, it means you can't resist it with pure strength alone~!"

Pandora tapped her chin. "Perhaps it weighs one's Virtue… and if the scale deems you 'unworthy' or 'lacking'..."

Carmilla hugged herself, shivering. "T-Then it just... b-breaks you…"

Subaru gritted his teeth. An attack that ignored defense, ignored resistance, and outright destroyed his body if he didn't meet some 'Virtue' requirement?

That was beyond broken.

Minerva clenched her fists. "I hate that power already! It just breaks people without giving them a chance to fight back!"

Subaru forced himself to calm down. "Okay… okay. We need to figure out how to counter this. I can't just avoid fighting Leo forever."

Echidna smirked. "Oh? Are you finally ready to listen to my wisdom, dear husband?"

Subaru sighed. "Just tell me what you've got, Echidna."

The Witch of Greed's smile widened. "Alright then. Let's dissect the Virtue Scale."

Echidna looked at him as he spoke. "Even do it was basically Typhon Authority, it was reverse".

Typhon then spoke looking at him. "Yes instead of scale someone Sin, it Judge someone Virtue, to attack".

Subaru frowned, piecing together what they were saying. "So you're telling me that Leo's Authority is basically the reverse of Typhon's? Instead of punishing someone for their sins, it judges their virtues?"

Typhon pouted. "Mhm! Normally, my Authority breaks things based on how guilty they are. But this guy? He's using the opposite! If you don't have enough 'virtue,' you break."

Subaru clenched his fists. "That's insane. How the hell am I supposed to fight that? I don't even know what 'virtue' means in this context!"

Echidna tapped her chin, looking thoughtful. "Virtue is… well, it depends on the system judging you. If this ability is divine in nature, it might be using a moral or spiritual standard to measure you."

Minerva huffed. "That's stupid! Just because someone isn't 'virtuous enough,' they get shattered? What kind of logic is that?!"

Daphne giggled, tilting her head. "Mmm~ Maybe it's like a god's standard~? If you're not 'worthy,' you break~!"

Subaru groaned. "That makes it even worse! I have no idea what this 'standard' even is! How do I fight something when I don't know what rules it's playing by?!"

Pandora smiled slightly. "Then the answer is simple, isn't it? If it's a divine judgment… change the judge."

Everyone turned to look at her.

Subaru blinked. "What… do you mean?"

Pandora gestured at the witches. "If this Authority is treating you as an outsider, someone unworthy of 'virtue'—then why not align yourself with a higher authority? One that it can't reject?"

Satella's eyes widened slightly. "You mean…"

Echidna's smirk returned. "I see. If Subaru becomes the Witch King, then no 'Virtue Scale' can judge him. Because at that point, he would define the rules."

Subaru's breath hitched. The Witch King. That damn title that kept coming up.

"You're saying that if I go further down this path—if I take on that role—then Leo's Authority won't work on me anymore?"

Pandora nodded. "It won't be able to reject you… because you will be the standard."

Subaru exhaled slowly. That wasn't a solution he liked, but… it might be the only way.

Satella gently held his hand. "You don't have to rush. We'll find another way if you're not ready."

Subaru shook his head. "No… this might be my best shot." He looked at the witches around him. "I need to get stronger. Fast."

Echidna's grin widened. "Then, dear husband… shall we begin?"

Satella then spoke. "Your Check points is as you left the Machine to go to the village".

Echidna then spoke. "Which doesn't give us much of full time to plan, so you have few options, protect the machine".

Subaru looked at him as he spoke. "No nope, if I did that, Leo would kill Rem or Ram".

Echidna then looked as she spoke. "Or convince Elsa, or Become the Witch King".

Subaru though for a bit as he spoke. "I rather convince Elsa, maybe we can kill Leo before he can open the box".

Echidna looked as she spoke. "You have already died 7 times counting this one, and trying to convince her will be no easy".

Carmilla then spoke as she looked at everyone. "Y-you all a-are forgetting m-my Authority Subaru has".

Everyone went silent, as Subaru open the sin system.

Ding!

[Skill: Lustful Allure (9%)– [Grants the ability to charm and manipulate others.]

Subaru looked at one of the 8 starting Authority he got from each of the witch. "I kinda used on Emilia by accident when he first meet"

Echidna narrowed her eyes. "It's only at 9%. That's barely functional."

Subaru sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yeah, but it's something. If I can push it further, I might be able to make Elsa hesitate… or even switch sides."

Minerva crossed her arms. "That's a gamble! Even if you use it on her, there's no guarantee it'll completely work. And if it fails, she'll gut you without a second thought!"

Carmilla fidgeted. "B-but… i-if y-you t-truly u-understand h-her h-heart… i-it m-might w-work b-better…"

Subaru frowned. Understand her heart? That was easier said than done.

Satella, who had been silent, finally spoke. "…Elsa is someone who lives for the thrill of the hunt. To her, battle is beauty… and death is art."

Daphne giggled. "Mmm~ She likes

Satella then spoke. "Your Check points is as you left the Machine to go to the village".

Echidna then spoke. "Which doesn't give us much of full time to plan, so you have few options, protect the machine".

Subaru looked at him as he spoke. "No nope, if I did that, Leo would kill Rem or Ram".

Echidna then looked as she spoke. "Or convince Elsa, or Become the Witch King".

Subaru though for a bit as he spoke. "I rather convince Elsa, maybe we can kill Leo before he can open the box".

Echidna looked as she spoke. "You have already died 7 times counting this one, and trying to convince her will be no easy".

Carmilla then spoke as she looked at everyone. "Y-you all a-are forgetting m-my Authority Subaru has".

Everyone went silent, as Subaru open the sin system.

Ding!

[Skill: Lustful Allure (9%)– [Grants the ability to charm and manipulate others.]

Subaru looked at one of the 8 starting Authority he got from each of the witch. "I kinda used on Emilia by accident when he first meet"

Carmilla then spoke looking at him. "It is 9% f-fused with y-you soul, Y-you have higher c-chnace".

Subaru then spoke. "Is there way too make it go up".

Echidna then spoke looking at him. "This is gonna sound like a ass pull form us, but in the sin system we made, there is Certain function to increase a Authority to fuse with your sole".

Subaru looked at her as he spoke. "What it is".

Minerva then spoke looking at him. "Don't judge me this was Pandora idea darling, you can increase by doing Cirten activity with um.... Who ever gave you the Authority".

Subaru blinked as he spoke. "Why, just why".

Pandora then spoke. "You don't have too do that as your only Option, just kiss Carmilla in the lips Husband and that will do it as well".

Subaru nearly choked on his own breath. "Wait—WHAT?!"

Carmilla instantly turned red, shrinking into herself. "I-I-I—!" She stammered, her hands clutching the edges of her dress.

Echidna sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Blame Pandora. This wasn't my idea."

Pandora merely smiled innocently. "I don't see the issue. If he wants his Lustful Allure to grow stronger, he just needs a moment of intimacy with the Witch who granted it."

Minerva crossed her arms. "Yeah, well, kissing Carmilla is probably the safest bet. Knowing her, she won't do anything weird afterward."

Subaru groaned. "So my options are: Kiss Carmilla or somehow seduce Elsa with a half-baked charm ability?"

Typhon giggled. "Kissing is way easier than seducing a bloodthirsty assassin, Big Brother~!"

Sekhmet lazily yawned. "Mmm… seems like an easy choice… just kiss the girl."

Carmilla, still blushing furiously, peeked up at Subaru. "I-I d-don't mind… i-if i-it's y-you…"

Subaru sighed, rubbing his temples. "…This is my life now, huh?"

He took a deep breath, steeled his nerves, and gently placed his hands on Carmilla's shoulders. "Alright… let's just get this over with."

Carmilla tightly shut her eyes, her lips trembling slightly as Subaru leaned in—

Ding!

[Lustful Allure has increased to 25%!]

Subaru immediately pulled back, blinking in shock. "Wait, already?! That was barely a peck!"

Echidna smirked. "Hah. If that tiny kiss boosted it by 16%, imagine if you actually tried."

Carmilla, her entire face now crimson, covered her mouth with both hands. "H-h-husband…"

Pandora clapped her hands together. "Wonderful! Now, shall we go for 50%?"

Subaru bolted. "NOPE. I'M GOOD. THANKS. BYE."

[Return By Death Actived...]

Subaru just vanished form the witch garden.

Satella looked at Pandora. "You added that just so you can do it with him".

Pandora smirked as she spoke. "Yes".

Back with Subaru, he was back in his Checkpoint, right as he sent Koyami to get Ram and Rem, he stopped on his track as he looked at the village.
