The Sekirei’s Covenant

Chapter 8: 8 Karasuba’s Darkening



On the porch in front of Izumo Inn, a black-haired man and a purple-haired girl were snuggling together.

The sky was clear, the sun was shining, and every now and then there were cheerful bird calls. However, the two people snuggling together didn't say a word, their faces were a little sad, and the atmosphere was a little low.

Finally, the man opened his eyes, and a pair of black eyes full of vicissitudes were revealed.

"Miya, are you saying what I'm doing is right? Knowing that those people will come back, knowing that No. 87 and No. 88 will be kidnapped, knowing that Yume will sacrifice herself to save that Sekirei whose core has been destroyed, knowing everything, but I don't stop it, and even create conditions for them…"

The man's tone was a little lonely. Clearly, these were all choices he had made after careful consideration, but whenever he thought of that girl with the ahoge's sunny smile, he couldn't help but feel a trace of self-blame in his heart.

Raising her head, the purple-haired girl didn't immediately answer the man's question, but gently rubbed the man's cheek, wanting to soothe his wounded heart in this way.

"To break fate, you must first integrate into it, and then guide it, instead of resisting it with violence."

"So, Sora, you don't need to blame yourself…"

As the queen of all the Sekirei, one of the ancient Eight Pillars, a light called wisdom was flashing in the girl's purple eyes.

"Moreover, this may not be a bad thing for Yume. Although she always shows her sunny smile to everyone, with her pure soul without a trace of impurities, she can't lie at all, that deep sadness and regret in her heart."

"The too-perfect Sekirei core gives her power far beyond other Sekirei, but at the same time, she also loses something most important. Not being able to find her own Ashikabi like everyone else, this is also a great sorrow for her, a girl who takes love as her faith!"

"That child named herself 'Sekirei of Fate,' probably not meaning 'with fate,' but 'without fate.' I think Yume was still thanking Sora at the last moment, because you gave her a chance, a chance to be reborn in that child."

Looking at Sora's sad expression, Miya only felt that her heart was about to break. She had always believed in him, believed in everything he did, but she couldn't help him, and could only comfort him in this way.

Looking at Miya's concerned eyes, Sora showed a smile, a smile called emotion.

"Hehe, don't worry, Miya, I'm fine!" Sweeping away the previous gloom, Sora showed his usual wicked smile.

He knew that his road was still very long, and now, it was just the beginning!

"Now, let's see how to welcome the visiting guests!" The next moment, Sora said something that made Miya inexplicable.

However, before Miya could ask, suddenly, an accident happened!

"Boom!" With a loud noise, dust flew up, Sora still had that wicked expression, but Miya was stunned!

Seeing that the Izumo Inn that Sora had built for herself had been directly destroyed at the gate, Miya only felt that something most important to her had been suddenly destroyed. Even though she was naturally kind, a monstrous anger rose in her heart, and wisps of murderous aura emerged from her body. Her long sword had been unsheathed, just waiting for the other party to appear before immediately rushing over to chop them into pieces!

"Step… step… step…" A burst of footsteps came, and as the dust gradually dissipated, a figure gradually emerged.

Looking at the figure who had destroyed her Izumo Inn, Miya's expression suddenly became stern, and her voice was icy:

"Karasuba, what madness are you up to again!"

To be honest, for Miya, who was usually extremely gentle to everyone, like an older sister, to be able to say such words, it was enough to show how angry she was in her heart at this moment.

That's right, the person who came was Karasuba. The long sword in her hand hadn't been sheathed yet, and she must have just cleaved the door open.

She still had that unchanging smile, as if mocking the whole world. Karasuba didn't answer Miya, and from the beginning, she hadn't focused her gaze on Miya.

Looking at Sora, who didn't have a hint of surprise on his face, Karasuba directly slashed down with her sword.

"Clang!!!" Sparks flew, and there was a piercing sound of swords colliding.

Miya held her sword horizontally in front of Sora, and her purple eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins. Her anger had almost reached the point of explosion!

"Karasuba, although you are also one of my sisters, if anyone wants to hurt Sora, no matter who they are, I will not forgive them!" Her voice low, Miya issued her final warning.

A light instantly bloomed in Karasuba's originally ashen eyes. Not only did she not retreat, but she raised her sword and prepared to attack again.

Miya's eyes turned cold, and she seemed to have made some kind of decision, swinging her sword and preparing to rush forward.

However, suddenly, a hand stopped Miya's steps, and Karasuba's sword also stopped.

The one who stopped Miya was naturally Sora. One of his hands was on Miya's shoulder, and the other was holding Karasuba's blade.

A fierce light burst out in her eyes, and Karasuba finally spoke:

"As expected! As expected! You are a different man!"

"That idiot Yume actually left on her own before I could defeat her, unforgivable! Unforgivable! Now, you will replace her existence!"

His mouth twitching, looking at Karasuba, whose heart had been completely darkened and become somewhat distorted due to Yume's departure, Sora was speechless.

Replace Yume's existence? Get cut by you every day? I'm not a masochist, what are you talking about!!!

Of course, that's what he thought in his heart, but looking at Karasuba, who was already in a runaway state, Sora knew that saying anything to her now was useless. The best and only way now was to suppress her with violence.

Sighing helplessly, Sora said:

"Today is an exception, I'll have a good fight with you! Come with me." After saying that, Sora disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Sora was also extremely helpless in his heart. If he didn't let Karasuba release the hostility in her heart now and make her feel better, she would probably run to the streets and start slashing people!

A bloodthirsty light flashed in her eyes, and a monstrous fighting spirit suddenly erupted from Karasuba's body. Her figure turned into an afterimage, and she immediately chased after him.

Miya on the side naturally couldn't sit still either, and followed the direction of the two. She wasn't too worried that Karasuba would kill Sora. With Karasuba's current strength, it was impossible to do so. She was worried about Sora's body. The power in his body was already running low, and if he continued to consume it like this…

In the end, Sora's figure stopped on top of a building. Looking at Karasuba, who had already appeared behind him, he smiled and said:

"I knew you would come. I've already had Hiroto evacuate the residents in this area. Today, I'll have a good fight with you!"

While speaking, Sora also drew a sword from behind him, a sword that was exactly the same as the one in Karasuba's hand!

Karasuba didn't waste any words. Whether it was her crimson eyes or her distorted smile, they all showed that she was extremely excited at this moment. The air pressure lifted the black robe behind her, and her body shot towards Sora like a bullet.

Looking at the powerful Karasuba, Sora couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Except for Sekirei like Yume who possessed a perfect core, before being feathered, they couldn't even display half of their due strength. Even after being feathered, they could only display one level!

The existence of the Ashikabi was actually to help the Sekirei unlock their power in a sense. Now that Karasuba's power was already so strong, it was hard to imagine what she would be like when she returned to her peak.

One sword to shatter mountains and rivers, one anger to shake the universe, that should be what it would be like!

It seems that if I want to conquer this dark little crow, the road ahead is still long and arduous…

Although he was sighing in his heart, Sora didn't dare to be careless at all, and also swung his sword and rushed forward.

Today, he was risking his life to accompany a madman. If he was careless and got cut by her, he wouldn't even have a place to cry!

Boom boom boom boom boom! Clang clang clang clang clang!

At this time, a purple figure was standing quietly on a distant high tower, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise as she watched the earth-shattering battle between the two.

Their figures were constantly intertwined in the air, and every collision would emit a thunderous sound. The sparks that were rubbed out were as bright as lightning!

The waves of air that spread out from the two as the center could be felt even at such a distance. The surrounding buildings were even more destroyed in a mess. Whether it was bridges, roads, or high-rise buildings, they would shatter when touched and collapse when brushed. Before long, the entire area had been turned into ruins in the battle between the two!

Looking at such a thrilling scene, Miya couldn't help but be moved.

She wasn't worried about how much damage the two had caused. With the wealth that MBI had accumulated over the years, it was enough to buy a small country, and this was just a drop in the bucket.

However, looking at the two's completely desperate battle, Miya's heart was extremely nervous.

From the bottom of her heart, the kind-hearted Miya didn't want anything to happen to either of them.

The battle between the two lasted for a long time, from the bright sun to the setting sun. Finally, in what was probably the ten thousandth, three thousandth, several hundredth, and several dozen collision, it ended with the fall of a figure.

Looking at the still standing but also extremely embarrassed figure in the distance, Miya finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the one standing at the end was Sora. If it had been Karasuba, even if she wanted to rush over to save him, it would have been too late.

Her figure flashed, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. Now, she was going to welcome the victorious prince.

"Hehe, I'm so happy! I'm so happy! Even Yume can't make me this happy!" Lying in the ruins, her body had lost consciousness. Clearly, she had failed, but Karasuba's face bloomed with an unprecedented smile.

Looking at such a Karasuba, Sora couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. She was just a girl who craved battle and craved opponents. There was nothing wrong with her in itself. Everything she did was just because of the loneliness in her heart.

Yume had left, and the last ray of light in her heart had also been lost, completely turning into darkness. In the end, she was the most pitiful person.

However, even so, Sora didn't pity her.

Because that kind of thing was a mockery to her. She was a proud little crow, and she didn't need that kind of thing!

Sighing slightly, Sora moved his already scarred body and picked up Karasuba from the ground.

"Hey? Aren't you going to feather me? This is a good opportunity! And, since you defeated me, I'll give you this qualification." Seeing everything in Sora's eyes, a strange look flashed in Karasuba's eyes, and she returned to her usual smile.

"Miya, let's go, MBI will handle the rest." Not immediately answering Karasuba, Sora said to Miya, who had already appeared beside him.

Looking at the other party's concerned expression, Sora showed a gentle smile.

"One day, I will defeat you with my own strength. Until then, don't be feathered by anyone else…"

The setting sun stretched out several long figures, and in the sky above the ruins, a sentence was still constantly echoing…
