Meanwhile the Team of Otto Suwen and Priscilla Barielle won their battle, the group of Reinhard van Astrea and Jens made their way to the Northern Wing.
Reinhard : "Jens-san, it seems you are angry. I understand your frustration, but you do understand that frustration won't make you stronger, instead you'll focus only on strength instead of strategy."
Jens : "I am fine. I just hope Otto Suwen, Elis Rose Evergarden and Nathan are alright. Emilia is alright for sure, I just know it. If she isn't… That fucker will pay."
Aestas : "I know that I just met you Jens, but you should really keep it calm. Being angry while fighting won't prove anything in fact!"
Jens : "Understood. I'll calm down. L-Let's just move on."
Reinhard : "I agree. Let's go there until it's to late. The Northern Wing of the Royal Palace is quite far. I'll enable my Divine Protection of The Pegasus, if necessary of course."
Reinhard swung his hand and a bright, blueish ring appeared around Jens, Reinhard and Aestas.
Jens : "A-Ah? What is this Divine Protection?"
Reinhard : "It allows us to move on with very fast speed, but interfering with others as in fighting, will disable it."
Jens : "Alright! Let's go."
Jens, Reinhard and Aestas dashed with hyper speed towards the Royal Palace.
The City of Nastra, the Royal Capital exists out of districts. Currently, they were at the Pleiades District, which was the most southern district of the capital.
However, while running they bumped into a person.
Jens : "N-Nathan?"
They found Nathan, critically injured lying on the floor, partly in a wall with blood everywhere.
However, as Jens talked to Nathan, interfering with the outside world, the divine protection got disabled.
Nathan : "J-Jens…"
Reinhard : "Nathan-san… who did this to you?"
Nathan's left arm was gone, his right leg was cut off and one eye was closed. He was covered in blood.
Nathan : "The… Leader of the Witch Cult. Sirius A."
Reinhard : "I see…"
??? : "It seems you all love playing with dolls in a theater, don't yaa?!"
A girl covered in bandages jumped from the building and landed perfectly on her feet, landing next to Nathan.
The team of Jens took a step back.
Sirius A : "Correct! It was me who did this! But it appears two heroes have arrived. The Boy with Thousands Names and the Master Sword Saint. This is a phenomenal meeting!"
Reinhard : "I am happy that my name is known among the Witch Cult, but it appears that that won't help. I don't like when people fear me, but because of your actions. I will have to fight you, and reveal your real identity."
Sirius A : "Oh but you don't understand. I am just a vessel. This isn't the—"
Without her noticing, Reinhard disappeared and removed her cloak, and bandages from her, cutting her limbs of in a flash.
Nathan : "Oh no… What did they do to you?"
Reinhard : "Nathan! Do you know this individual?"
Nathan : "That… is my best friend… Melissa Lestrange."
Melissa : "Ah! Ah! I want to see flowers you all! I want to see crimson red flowers and melt with you all, for love!"
Melissa, the girl, had dark green hair, and had a red eye with instead of white, black outside of the iris.

Nathan : "B-But this can't be true… Masquerade brainwashed her…"
Melissa : "That's sooooooooo~ not true! This is the real me! I am one of them! I do this for lovelovelovelovelovelove! Y'all should lo—"
After Melissa started ranting, the red eye disappeared and she returned to two same eyes.
Melissa : "A-Ah… W-What's going on?"
Reinhard : "Just as I thought. The Curse Mark. A Gusteko affiliated kind of curse that allows the ones with the mark getting possessed. The Red Eye says enough…"
Melissa : "W-Where am I? I was in the forest, with—"
Melissa turned around and saw the critically injured Nathan.
Melissa : "NATHAN! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
She ran towards him, however, Nathan kicked her in the stomach with the foot that was left. Looking angry at her, he felt disgusted.
Nathan : "You… It was you who did this to me…."
Melissa : "OUCH! N-Nathan… I… I never wanted this!"
Reinhard : "It appears my duty changed today. Melissa Lestrange."
Melissa looked at Reinhard, half naked, only a few pieces of bandaged wrapped around her, she was worried.
Reinhard : "Melissa Lestrange. No, Sirius A. I hereby arrest you for the crime of being affiliated with the Witch Cult."
Melissa : "N-No… I don't…. I never wanted this!"
Suddenly, Melissa's arms regenerated without her doing anything.
Melissa : "A-Ah?!"
Reinhard : "It appears that the Curse Mark allows you to regenerate, interesting. I'll send you away to prison and will send one of the representatives to investigate your crime… or the worst, exterminate you."
Melissa : "No please! Sword Saint, I apologize, I didn't do any of this."
Melissa started crying more and more and turned around, she saw Jens and felt a feeling of relief, stopping her tears from falling.
Melissa : "J-Jens? A-Are you alright?"
Jens : "Hm? You know me?"
Melissa : "Yes! Are you alright? Did Masquerade or the Sun Strider do anything to you excluding your amnesia?"
Jens : "I-I don't know. I don't remem–"
Reinhard : "Melissa, if you know more, please tell us before I send you away."
Jens : "Yes Please, tell me more."
Melissa : "Y-You are the… The Lost King… no, you are more, I can't–"
Nathan : "W-What the fuck Melissa, you know about Jens? Did you know this stuff even when you weren't affiliated with the Witch Cult?"
Nathan started talking, opening one eye and trying to talk to her with all his energy that was still left inside of him.
Melissa : "I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE CULT! I-I did know about Jens…"
Jens : "Why and How?"
Melissa : "I am from a relatively… special family Jens. We knew about you, all your information is registered in the Pleiades Library."
Jens : "Where can I find that Library?"
Melissa : "At the Pleiades Watchtower, southern most location of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica, but you don't have much time. Before you know it… Masquerade will be there sooner."
Jens : "I see…"
Reinhard : "Was that all you had left to say Melissa?"
Melissa : "This is unfair Master Sword Saint! I was p-possessed or something like that! I am not Sirius A!"
Reinhard : "Even if you aren't officially a member, you're able to be possessed by the cult. Our Wise Men will investigate your circumstances and try to heal it… but for now–"
Reinhard closed his eyes and pointed his hand's palm towards her.
Reinhard : "Divine Protection of Reality Manipulation… farewell."
A bright orange light appeared above Melissa, and like that, she was gone.
Aestas : "Nathan! Let me heal you real quick!"
Aestas grabbed her scythe and poured its blood inside of Nathan, regimenting his Aura and his limbs."
Nathan : "T-Thank you…."
Jens : "Nathan, what happened to you and your team?"
Nathan : "S-She appeared and the group got teleported away, excluding me… But Reinhard, that wasn't Melissa. I mean, she was. But Sirius A, it must be someone possessing others. That was not the real Melissa."
Reinhard : "I understand. We'll try to remove her Curse Mark and bring the Melissa back you know."
Nathan : "T-That's good. You are from the Greed Extermination Group, right?"
Jens : "Yes. Are you able to fight?"
Nathan : "Ah yes. I can do that. After that, I'll rush to the Jester Extermination Group to fight Masquerade."
Reinhard : "Understood. Your help is appreciated Nathan. It appears that Elis Rose Evergarden is safe. I received a Telepathic message from him, he's going to talk to her."
Nathan : "Ah… At least someone I know. That's good."
Reinhard : "Yes. Let's hurry. Melissa will be fine, I can't imagine how bad you feel Nathan, but it will be alright. Now, let's go to the Greed Fight."
Aestas : "Sounds perfect!"
Jens : "I-I… Got an idea."
Reinhard : "Oh? Mind sharing it?"
Jens : "Go to the fight without me. I know how we'll defeat Regulus Corneas."
Reinhard : "Jens. Don't do anything what I wouldn't do, please."
Nathan : "Are you sure Jens?"
Jens : "Yes. I got an idea. Go without me, I know what to do."
Reinhard : "I trust you Jens."
Aestas : "Good luck Jens, be safe!"
Nathan : "Yes indeed. Be safe, please–"
Jens : "Everything is going to be fine, I'll see you guys later. Good luck too!"
Like that, Jens jumped into the air, summoned a spear and threw it, teleporting to the spear it self.
Reinhard : "Alright, let's not turn Jens down. Let's triumph!"
Like that, Aestas was done healing Nathan and he stood up. Right after, they made their way towards the Northern Wing of the Royal Palace, where the Crusade against Greed will take place, and where Emilia and Regulus are.
※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※
In an isolated, gray blue room, made of magical bricks, sat a girl on the ground. It was Melissa Lestrange.
Suddenly, the door opened and Melissa ran towards the glass where she sat down on a chair.
Melissa : "W-Who is there! Please I am not guilty! Let me go! I need to safe Jens, Nathan, everyone! I know what is going on!"
The man walked towards her, on the other side of her cell, was also a chair so they could sit down together and talk.
The man sat down and looked at her. It was Elis Rose Evergarden.
db2194062d8eb479105d3f4bf619d46a.png
Elis : "It appears you caused trouble, didn't you. You look lovely in those clothes though! I see that shorter hair suits you just as well, Melissa Yoshimura Lestrange."
Melissa : "Oh, it's you… Hahahaha! You damned Clown!"
Elis : "Oh! "Damned Clown" eh? You really know everything! You really are amazing!"
Melissa : "What is your secret? Infiltrating through organizations and Kingdoms, becoming a representative of the Western Kingdom of Kararagi, being the King of the Northern Kingdom of Gusteko, now even helping Jens. How do you do that…."
Elis : "Ah, it appears you really know my secret. This can be troublesome."
Melissa : "They call you the Crazed Prince, Masquerade, Murderer of Faces, Elis Rose Evergarden, Uta Pallas and Lucius von Rosewald, what the fuck are you?"
Furuta : "How weird of you not knowing all! I expected more of the next in line to be a vessel. But what is an antagonist without revealing his name? I am Furuta, surname doesn't matter, does it?"
Melissa : "Furuta… That name isn't registered in the Gusteko's Royal Bloodline. Are you a fake…. A fake prince?"
Furuta : "Hm? I wouldn't necessarily call myself a Fake Prince, would I?"
Melissa : "T-Then how are you the King… Furuta?"
Furuta : "Ah! Great question! There are many branch families underneath the main Gusteko family, and their members have many different roles! My branch family remains a secret for today, sorry. But, those whose role is to Plan Seeds, and those who are meant to Receive Those Seeds". Those like me, those people are tasked with doing whatever needs to be done! Sadly, I think you don't get it. I was born in the Garden of Eden…"
Melissa : "W-What… Alright then. Then t-tell me… Furuta, why do you… killed one of them… Starla Hyades, I remember. I start to remember indeed. So tell me douche bag."
Furuta : "Such a stupid question from a piece of thrash like you. I like it."
Their conversation intensified, calling each other out.
Furuta : "She was in the way. She was weak. There was nothing good left in letting her live."
Melissa : "But I am not strong either."
Furuta : "That, is something I would reconsider. You're a rare breed. Born in the Garden of Eden. You've the necessary qualities to destroy this world."
Melissa : "Excuse me? I have no relation to the Garden of Eden."
Furuta : "You are stupid if you believe your own words you bitch… I think you misunderstood the true meaning of the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden, a place where holy individuals are born, with no parents. Something like 'God' gifts the world those children. They possess the power of changing the world. You, Melissa Lestrange, Ruby Rose and more, they're all from the Garden of Eden. By collecting enough of them, we'll be able to summon Satella and change this world."
Melissa : "Ruby Rose? The Daughter of Summer Rose, the former Guardian of the Forgotten Kingdom?"
Furuta : "Correct. Ruby Rose, the Leader of the Legendary Warriors Group, RWBY."
Melissa : "S-So It's true… You killed your own friend, Starla Hyades. What about Annie Leonhardt, is she alright?"
Furuta : "Of course she is. She's left in a shock, but she'll be fineeee."
Melissa : "Let me guess, Starla, Annie, Emerada, Sapphire, Lethias, Krista… A new Warrior Team?
Furuta : "Ah you're smart! One point for that one! But yes, they are a new team, though they failed their job, and the organization will kill them once we find their location."
Melissa : "K-Kill?"
Furuta : "Yes of course. Piece of thrash like that team aren't supposed to become the Guardians of the Forgotten Kingdom, are they?"
Melissa : "…But why?"
Furuta : "SUPER PEACE! ALL FOR PEACE!"
Furuta did a V sign and smiled at Melissa.
Melissa : "Hm… It appears I won't understand you. It's impossible to understand such an insane person like you… But… Why Jens? Why do you need him?"
Furuta : "Oh my dear Lisa, you don't understand a single thing in this world. Me, Jens and Regulus have a loooooooooooooooooong relationship. I would say we knew each other before you even were born. We knew each other more than hundreds years ago."
Melissa : "D-Does that mean… He's someone out of the Garden of Eden?"
Furuta : "That's yet to be seen. Knowledge is Power, and I know a lot, but lacking critical plot details to the story can make you weak. He might be in line to be the real sage, but who knows! Hahaha!"
Melissa : "Weirdo…"
Furuta : "Hm? What was that? I mean, you can call me out many times you want, but you'll rot here to death, and when you died. I'll bring your corpse to Pandora and we'll make you a vessel."
Melissa : "P-Pandora… That's the woman that brought me to the Witch Cult, wasn't she?"
Furuta : "You really start to regain your memories, don't you? Troublesome. Troublesome. Troublesome."
Melissa : "A—ah…."
Suddenly, she gave off an expression of remembering something.
Furuta : "What is it?!"
Melissa : "It's nothing, I just forgot to say goodbye to the person I love…"
Furuta : "Love won't bring you anywhere. Only if you're meant to be we that one, that's what real love is. Now, I'll be taking my absence, goodbye sweetheart! Ya'know, it's quite hard to live with multiple identities in such a small world. Revealing my name in a place like this is quite nice of me, isn't it?"
Melissa : "Well… I am relieved. At the end of the day, it seems you don't know the first thing about how this world actually works and who the real Sage is. Good Good!"
Furuta : "Come now! I'll have you know, I've been trying my best. Sneaking into various organizations, joining the Witch Cult, becoming the representative of Kararagi, and most important…"
Furuta grabbed a handbag which was laying on the floor, and grabbed the mask of Masquerade.
Furuta : "Most important… becoming a clown. Becoming the one that caused Jens' amnesia."
Furuta winked and smiled, putting the mask in front of his devil smile.
tokyo_ghoul_re_66___furuta_by_baloohgn-d9tge96
Melissa : "Y-You really are Masquerade…"
Furuta : "Didn't you call me a Damned Clown? Don't act surprised you thrash. Now that you asked your questions… I have just a few questions to ask you…"
Furuta took a breath.
Furuta : "Who oh Who is the Legendary Sage, The Lost King and Where are the Remains of The Witches?"
Melissa : "O-Oh? It appears I am familiar with the former two, the latter is a secret Furushit."
Furuta : "So? Secrets and Promises are made to be revealed or broken, am I wrong? I think I am right, everything I say is correct."
Melissa : "I-I only know where the remains of the Witch of Pride and… Witch of Greed are…"
Furuta : "Well, tell me. Aren't we friends?"
Melissa : "Call it friends, call it enemies. By helping you, I can make Jens defeat you… Anyway, the Bones of the Witch of Pride are somewhere in the Water Gate City Priestella. The Body of The Witch of Greed are at the Sanctuary, near the Roswaal Mansion Territory. However, her body is sealed, but it appears you are able to enter those grounds too, aren't you?"
Furuta : "Yup, I am able to do anything I want, remember?"
The girl behind the glass sighed. Showing an expression of irritation.
Furuta : "Now… The Legendary Sage…"
The Man smiled and put his fingers on his lips.
Furuta : "But it seems that even those in the know are drawing a blank on this one. According to my knowledge, there may not even be a sage… It's true that there were those who believed that there was a new 'symbolic sage'. But we cannot take the risk of having Jens with his former memories. Having people put their faith in something that doesn't exist will make for a lot of broken hearts."
Melissa : "The Legendary Sage exists, but I won't reveal who it is."
Furuta : "Troublesome. Now, the Lost King."
Melissa : "It's… Jens. But—"
Furuta : "So the stories and tales were true after all hm?"
Melissa : "After you stole his memories, it appears that he lost his position of that title. Someone else gained that title, I have no clue who. I am serious."
Furuta : "Ah! How troublesome! Well, nothing you can do there. My Semblance tells me you aren't lying, so you aren't."
The man going by the name Furuta stood up and put on a very lewd smile at the girl behind the glass.
Furuta : "Well! It sounds like negotiations are over, I'd say. You'll have to excuse me if I end up making a spectacle out of your being crushed to death like a piece of thrash in the Lugnician First Rank Prison Chamber."
Melissa : "Rot to death."
Furuta : "I LOVE THAAA~~~T! <3, time to leave! Nothing left to discuss."
Furuta walked towards the door, until—
Melissa : "Oy, Washuu. How does it feel not being able to call your own father a 'father'?"
Hearing that, Furuta freezes. Closing the door again, and smashing his fist against the door.
Furuta : "Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die! Die. Just Die!"
Melissa : "How scaaaa~ry! Hahahaha!"
Furuta : "SHUT UP YOU BITCH! MELISSA YOSHIMURA LESTRANGE! YOU'RE DISGUSTING!"
Melissa smiled at Furuta.
The two of them sure had a complicated hostile relationship. But with the two of them knowing so much, who is the strongest?
Furuta : "I-I don't care. Say what you want. I will win. I will triumph. I will lay my hands on victory! NOT YOU NOT JENS NOT REGULUS NOBODY BUT ME!"
Melissa : "Weirdo…"
Furuta : "Right. Right Right. Call me that. Just a reminder, mentioning my real name or something we talked about, will execute you. The Curse Mark inside you contains poison. The poison is frozen until a certain action is met. Me and Regulus decided those actions hihihihihhiihihihihi! HAHA LOL! YOU SHIT BAHAHAGHAGHGGGGGG!"
Melissa : "Y-You aren't one hundred percent in your head. I never imagined to be that insane or crazy…"
Furuta : "Sanity? Crazy? I AM VERY VERY CRAZY YES INDEED! I AM PAST THE POINT OF RETURN AND I'LL CONQUER THIS WORLD HAHA YES."
Furuta sighed.
Furuta : "How about we finish our little talk right now. AH! I've just had a wonderful idea! Seriously. Let's do this:"
Furuta pointed his hand towards Melissa's throat, and instantly, she became unable to breath. She wasn't sure what kind of power that was, but it felt like there were hands around her throat.
Melissa : "–hk?!"
Furuta : "Why don't you take all the blame and disappear? You, who slaughtered half of the population of Lugnica today. Who rules the Witch Cult with an iron fist of terror and slaughter? You, Sirius A. What do you think, my 'leader'?"
After that, she became able to talk again.
Melissa : "Hkagh… I-I… It looks like our negotiations won't be able to continue much further… But first, there's something I've wanted to ask you since you killed Starla and brought me into all of this… You were the one… that created the Rose Extermination mission, right? Why Ruby Rose?"
Furuta : "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It wasn't her who I was aiming for! A bit selfcentered ain't she? Gross! HAHAHAHA WHAT AN IDIOT SO FUNNY!"
Melissa : "W-What?"
Furuta : "You know Ruby Rose, right? The Strongest Warrior, yes, Ruby Rose. But I wasn't aiming for her, it was her mother who I was aiming for, Summer Rose."
Melissa : "Why?"
Furuta : "Sorry, revealing many secrets is bad for my skin! But I didn't want to hurt Ruby Rose… Ruby, even a long time ago, was still very dear to me. When I was younger, I used to dream of one day marrying her, and getting grandkids. I myself was rather cute back then haha… I remember playing in the Garden of Eden with her, her calling me Nimura and me hugging her, talking about the future, it was perfect. But one day, the thought of her getting caught by Pandora was unbearable. That's why… I helped her escape. Because I love her."
Melissa : "Don't you feel guilty for doing that to Ruby, even though you loved her?"
Furuta : "She ain't dead, so it's fine."
Melissa : "Crazy way of thinking. I see. But all of this, just for that?"
Furuta : "There is no real need to have a reason to do things. People who can't act without a reason are trash. I will do what I want. I mean, I've got this precious life and everything; might as well make the best of it, right? You asked all of these questions, so what about ending here? But first, last note…"
Furuta put his face on the mirror and widened his eyes, like a crazed man.
Furuta : "I'll be having Ruby bear me a buuuuuunch of kids! They'll make their debut one day; do me a favor and play with them then. I think you already knew she's alive, she's just sealed in her dusty coffin, so I'll be the one to unseal her. Ufufufu~! Time to go~! Rot to death here my dear Lisa~!"
Now, Furuta ran towards the door, and closed it.
Melissa : "How am I going to explain this to Nathan…"
She looked at the ceiling and started thinking of how to fix her mistakes.
Melissa : "I need to escape…"
※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※
Reinhard, Nathan and Aestas, standing in front of the entrance, they're waiting until they're ready to fight Regulus Corneas of Greed.
Reinhard : "Are you two ready?"
Nathan : "I am a bit nervous… Wasn't Greed the most strongest Archbishop of the Witch Cult? I am also very scared of Melissa, I hope she's fine."
Reinhard : "She will be, I promise you. Regulus won't hurt any of you, if he does, I'll have to draw my Dragon Sword Reid."
Aestas : "Well, I am ready as ever! Nakuri, are you ready?"90119341353e266fad4974b6f99f3e71
The woman looks at her scythe, and the eye at the top of the scythe blinked.
Nakuri : "FOREVER AND EVER!"
Aestas : "Great! Na~Na~, are you ready?"
The boy Nathan sighed. He was extremely nervous.
Nathan : "Y-Yes…. I am."
Reinhard : "Alright then. We'll triumph. Now, let's enter the Battle Against Greed!"
Reinhard swung his arm and the group teleported inside of the Northern Wing of the Royal Palace.
They appeared in the middle of the palace, there were flames everywhere, but not huge flames.
Looking at the throne, Regulus was sitting there. This wasn't the King's throne, but this was the throne of the Royal Prince, the one with the qualities to be a Lion King.
Regulus : "Hm? No Jens? But look who we got, Nathan Harmonia and Reinhard van Astrea. That can be fun too."
Regulus : "I don't see a valid reason why I should return that half witch when I can make her a great vessel for the Witch Cult."
Regu Lia Colored
Regulus winked, while he had an unconscious Emilia in his arms.
Regulus : "This Half Witch can wait, I think. So, why did you come?"
Regulus put Emilia on the throne and turned towards Nathan, Reinhard and Aestas.
Nathan : "Before we start fighting, what did the cult do to Melissa… Melissa Lestrange?"
Regulus : "Ah? The Garden of Eden girl?"
Nathan : "W-What do you mean? I'm not sure what that means."
Regulus : "Well, guess there's nothing to discuss then. Show me what you got you three. I think I can deal with you three all alone, am I right?"
Reinhard : "Am I allowed to start fighting?"
Regulus : "Why sure you are. I would have to ask it instead. You're way below my level Reinhard-san."
The man of greed smiled.
Reinhard : "Don't refer me with -san please, there's no need for that. In addition to the former, I don't feel like that to you."
Regulus : "Understood! Guess it's time to start!"
Regulus grabbed ashes of the wall and threw it towards them.
For some unknown reason, possibly because of his authority, the ashes were launched as projectiles instead of ash. They were like bullets and flied with insane speed.
Nathan : "Baria!"
Nathan, created a sphere of light around his body and everything was blocked.
Reinhard, activated his Divine Protection of Evasion, which made all the bullets avoid him, and fly towards the ceiling.
Aestas jumped up and used her scythe to block the bullets.
Regulus : "Hm? That was quite a fast reaction, wasn't it?"
Nathan : "Enough. Fura!"
Nathan started firing Wind Magic bullets, but Regu only needed to swung his hand to break the bullets, he did it in less than a microsecond.
Aestas : "My turn!"
Aestas dashed forwards, however Regulus cut her arms off.
Nathan : "Aestas!"
Reinhard : "Stay calm."
Right after Reinhard said those words, Aestas appeared next to Regulus, unharmed.
Without Regulus noticing that she was there, Aestas threw her scythe right through his stomach.
Aestas : "Ain't that easy, rightcha?"
Aestas body, turned to blue ashes and the scythe disappeared.
Regulus fell on the ground, bleeding and didn't understood what happened with her.
Regulus : "W-What was that?! WHERE ARE YOU?"
While bleeding, Regulus tried to find a trace of her body, but didn't succeed.
However, he heard a small crack above him.
Looking at the ceiling, he saw Aestas standing on the ceiling. She used the ceiling to launch herself, flying towards Regulus, she suddenly became invisible, but after a few milliseconds, Regulus felt a burning feeling in his stomach, and like that…
Aestas and her Scythe appeared behind Regulus Corneas of Greed again, dashing through him, and slicing him apart.
Immediately, Aestas jumped towards Reinhard to stay at a safe distance.
Aestas : "Whas that enough?"
Reinhard : "I don't think—"
Without Reinhard being able to finish his sentence, Regulus returned unharmed and looked angry at them.
Regulus : "What is your problem? That was rather rude Aestas, backstabbing nice people. Did your parents taught you that? It's obnoxious, let me tell you that. Never do that again, not that you can actually kill me, but still, killing people from behind is just weak. If you are an actually warrior who can kill me, do that right in my face, not in—"
Nathan : "You're obnoxious yourself!"
Regulus : "I WAS TALKING YOU DEVIL!"
Regulus swung his hand and teared Nathan's right leg apart.
Nathan : "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Regulus : "I was talking, because I was talking. Wasn't I talking just now? I am pretty sure I was talking, because talking is one of my only rights that are left. Why would you interupt me? The Valkyrie, The Goddess of War Crusch Karsten did the same, you fucker. Never interrupt me, I am talking, when someone is talking, they are talking, because they are talking. When they are talking, they've the right to talk, so do not interrupt me."
Nathan, was rolling on the floor, screaming and crying. His leg was gone and Aestas rushed towards him and started healing him.
Regulus : "Why are you screaming? I am talking to you. Are you listening? You were listening, right? I asked you something but you don't give me an actual response. You're thrash."
Regulus swung his hand again and released a shockwave towards Aestas who was healing Nathan, Reinhard jumped in front of them and the shockwave disappeared because of his Divine Protection.
Regulus : "I see. I seeeeeee! Playing the Guardian. The Protector of the World. Perhaps you're even playing the Protagonist, aren't you? Well, maybe Jens is already playing that role."
Suddenly, the door opened, the giant golden door.
There, Otto Suwen, Felt and Priscilla Barielle entered the giant room.
Regulus : "Of course, even more people, because why not, right?"
Reinhard : "Suwen! Felt-sama, Priscilla-sama, stay back. Regulus is too strong for you."
Priscilla : "Know your place Sword Saint, I am not done with that shit."
Otto : "We defeated Gluttony, mostly everyone is safe!"
Regulus : "IMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLE! WHY DOES GLUTTONY ALWAYS FAIL THEIR MISSION? ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS CAPTURE THE NECESSARY ONES AND EVEN THEN THEY FAIL! IMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLE! WHY DIDN'T THEY CAPTURE FELT OR ANOTHER DEMON? THEY'RE SO USELESS!"
Regulus starting kicking stuff, swining his hands and screaming.
While kicking and swinging his hands, walls, pillars and other stuff collapsed, because he kept creating and firing shockwaves.
Priscilla : "It appears that Greed can't even stay calm. How weren't you able to finish him already? He's such an easy opponent it seems."
Reinhard : "Do not underestimate him."
Felt : "Tsk!"
Regulus : "Underestimate me? Do whatever you want, I don't permit you from your rights, like you violate mine. If you want to underestimate me, do it! Do whatever your heart desires!"
Otto : "Shut up already ranting idiot! Reinhard, Priscilla, Felt! Go in!"
Priscilla, Felt ran towards Regulus, even though Reinhard at first sight did not want to fight Regulus, he still followed them.
Regulus activated his authority and started throwing shockwaves and bullets, however everyone dashed them.
Felt, activated her unknown Divine Protection and instantly dashed towards Regulus and extreme speed, creating a tornado outside, destroying the ceiling.
Priscilla, she activated her Yang Sword and with only one swing, she made Regulus burn in flames.
Reinhard, who dashed towards Regulus, grabbed his Dragon Sword Reid and stabbed him right in the heart.
Right that moment, Felt appeared behind Regulus and released a giant amount of wind and made everyone getting pushed back. She cut Regulus' head off and landed on her feet.
But, instantly, Regulus reappeared, unharmed, and released a shockwave of wind, pushing everyone back to the walls.
Regulus : "STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP! STOP THIS MADNESS! STOP THIS ALREADY! STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP!"
Regulus stepped stamping on the floor and throwing Shockwaves to all corners of the hall.
Everyone stood behind a pillar or behind a barrier.
Regulus : "STOP THIS MADNESS! LET ME TALK BEFORE YOU DO YOUR STUPID STUFF! YOU CAN'T BEAT ME WITHOUT—"
Not allowing Regulus to finish his sentence, he felt something pierces right through his heart.
He looked down and a spear right through his body.
Looking at the ceiling, atleast from what was left of the ceiling. He saw a boy with blonde hair and beautiful sky blue eyes.
Jens
There were a lot of weapons around Jens. Mostly blades, axes and spears.
Jens : "I had enough of you hurting my friends, Regulus Corneas of Greed."
Hearing this Regulus started grinning, he barely felt anything from the spear and—"
Regulus : "YOU'RE HILARIOUS. COME FUCKING BEAT ME WITH YOUR OWN HANDS!"
Regulus grabbed the spear and threw it away.
That moment, Jens dashed towards the spear.
Then, Regulus and Jens dashed towards each other and clashed.
On the throne, was Emilia, slowly regaining her consciousness and Pack woke up.
Pack : "Lia! Lia! Wake up please!"
Emilia : "A-Ah? W-What's going on?"
