Chapter 18 - A new partner.

Eunice "Okay, this is just a problem for the next time. So! Nether, the other things I asked you?"

Nether "Everything you asked to do was done. Except one request in particular."

Eunice "What request in particular?"

Nether "The person you have nominated to be the Queen of your Peerage is quite difficult to find. I may not be affected by the limits of space and time, the power of this person can affect the reality itself.

Eunice "From what I know, the lack of influence on the reality of other worlds is one of the reasons why you recruited me. You may be omnipotent in Void, outside your domain, reality is subject to rules. You can send me anytime and anywhere, but not just any way. That's why we need her in our future faction of the Nether. His power and influence on reality can help us strengthen ourselves even more. "

Nether "You have to understand that in order to send you into the world of DXD, I made an effort to embed yourself in a reality where you never existed. My power can perhaps affect the reality of others worlds, but they are limited. To change a reality, I have to take into account cause and effect. "

Eunice "The principle of causation, an action can have an effect. Although I wonder, what was the effect of my birth in the world of DXD? I know very well that you are the cause, but I don't know what the effect is. "

Nether "You just have to find it for yourself!"

Although I know he won't tell me. The only thing I really wanted to know was what was the cause of her decision to reincarnate me. Well, it will be for the next time, but we have other cats to whip.

Eunice "Okay, what about my other request?"

The Nether said nothing more, he just teleported me to another place. There was only one thing there. There was only one sword in a pedestal.

Eunice "Irene please, whatever happens, don't interfere."

Irène " Okay ! "

The sword in front of me may well become my new partner.

Eunice "Nice to meet you Est, or I should rather call you the famous" Demon King-Killing Sacred Sword ". Although it is sudden, I would like you to become my partner and contracting as a spirit."

Right after my words, the sword gave off a shock wave, she surely meant no.

Eunice "Although I can understand why you are refusing, listen to my proposal first. I know your story pretty well, and I know you regret being the cause of the death of your former owner."

The sword showed a reaction, but quite weak compared to before, as if it expressed its reluctance and its regrets.

Eunice "I didn't tell you that to make you sad, I told you that to tell you that it is possible for you to erase your regrets. You may not understand my words, but to put it simply , I can bring your former master, Areishia Idriss, back to life. "

A deafening silence invaded the place. Then a childish but threatening voice to speak, it was the spirit of steel, Est.

Est "Are you telling the truth?"

Eunice "I can assure you that I am not lying to you. You have my word that if you agree to become my partner, I will do everything to resuscitate Areishia Idriss."

She wanted to accept immediately, but quickly stopped.

Eunice "I know what you are afraid of, you fear that I will die of your curse, I can assure you that your curse will not get me."

Est was silent.

Eunice " Let me tell you a story. It was the story of a boy and his armor, it was the story of Subaru, then Subaru of the Little Horse. Subaru was a lively, impulsive and arrogant young boy. He is obsessed with the idea of ​​becoming stronger because he wants to become a God. At that time, a war had broken out between two goddesses, a quarrel fairly normal for the gods. This war opposed the knights of Athena and the Pallasite warriors of Pallas, their war does not matter, anyway their reason for waging this war is totally stupid. Subaru was a Steel Knight at the time, a kind of knight whose death was barely noticed. One day with some of his companions, they meet Celeris of the little horse. One of his friends told him that all the knights of the little horse had a curse, all the carriers of this armor are condemned to die in combat, the armor on the body. When Celeris heard this legend, he just laughed. During a fairly fierce battle, to defeat his opponent and to protect the people he promised to protect, Celeris launched an attack that his body could not bear. And as the story of the curse said, he succumbed to his wounds."

Est was agitated, but I continued my story.

Eunice " Before his death, he entrusted his armor to Subaru while assuring him that he did not regret his choice to wear this armor despite his death. After Subaru becomes the new knight of the little horse, after his first victory, the armor of the little horse came to a standstill and did not want to move. But Subaru persisted in going into battle. During a fight, when her armor still refused to fight, an apprentice blacksmith told her that her armor is in mourning and cries for all the knights who preceded her, she said that the armor was blamed for all these dead and refused to cause Subaru's death with his curse. After hearing this, mad with rage, Subaru cried out in his armor that he will not die but will become a god and that the gods were immortal. The armor finally agreed to fight with him. His armor may not have known, but his promise to become a god, Subaru kept it. "

Although his shape like a sword, I could feel the look of Is on me intensify.

Eunice "Terminus Est! I will tell you right away, but your curse will not kill me. You wonder why I say that, it is only to tell you that nothing can defeat me. Your curse will not defeat me and I will remain undefeated, because my fight is eternal. So do not hesitate to settle your regrets, because death cannot knock on my door. "

Est "So don't regret your words."

Once she said those words, I could feel a bond connecting me to her. It was proof of our contract as a partner.
