Chapter 25 - Nemesis [Part 2 Finale]

The breeze was all that could be heard as two figures was standing in an open field, the beautiful sun began to shine once more after the subtle downpour of the previous Miasma rain.

The beautiful red leaves began to fall, and the sound of bird was heard in the surrounding area, it truly was a beautiful day despite the previous weather.

Nemesis was looking at the mysterious white bird that had Ram like horn curling downwards from its head, it eyes were as black as the night sky, but it gives one the feeling like it knows everything about you; almost as if it was watching you all the time without rest.

But what take Nemesis by surprised was the similarity it shared with its sire, despite having the appearance of a giant white bird with Ram like horns.

It shared the same exact smell as his sire, the unique color of it feather match the whiteness of his sire skin, and it also share the same clothes making skill as his sire as well.

Nemesis then began to look at his new attire, it wasn't anything too grand nor was it anything too simple either, if anything its look like something those from the rising sun city Tokugawa would wear.

"Wasn't that, the same place that sister said the greatest Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune originated from, if I remember correctly that city is located somewhere in the land of the war beast."

"Hmmm... it's not a bad fit, at least it better than what I was previously wearing, but I must say who are you and why do you smell like sire."

Ask Nemesis who was eager to get some answer from the bird and when he said that the bird took off as it landed on a branch and did the thing where it turns it head in a creepy way toward a direction.

"I see you want me to look at where you're looking at ha."

Nemesis began looking at the same direction the mysterious bird was looking at, and what surprised him was the fact the bird was looking at the center of the field were nothing but a single stump of Nako-Nako tree resides.

This confused him greatly for many reasons such as why was the bird looking so intently at the Nako-Nako stump, and why does the stump have such a strong smell of his sister, and why does he feel a weird power coming from the stump direction.

Nemesis didn't know why but after his evolution to a Kishin he got a weird ability to sense danger or influxes of power, for example the mana from the atmosphere was one of the mana influxes of power he can feel.

Honestly it was an amazing feeling, it made him feel safe because when he was nothing but a regular low rank fallen, he could barely feel mana in the atmosphere despite his race being a race that was praised for being the best at absorbing mana, although they weren't the best at converting mana into zeal, that why the fallen purely rely on skills and physical strength when in battle.

Just like how the elf were the best at converting mana into zeal in order to use Magus-art, but the worst at absorbing it from the atmosphere, but as way to compensate for such a flaw they were bless with the best portal which can convert mana into a more potent form of zeal, so the little they absorb is enough to cast devasting amount of spell in both quantity and quality.

But Nemesis wasn't going to question it anymore, it is without a doubt that the mysterious bird has some connection with his sire and if it was telling him to go toward the Nako-Nako stump then he shall.

Nemesis then began to walk towards the stump as he looks at it intently, he didn't see anything, but he knows something is there, something invisible to the eyes, why he knows that well it simple.

His increase sense of smell combines with the weird ability he got to sense power influxes was all the evidence he needs.

Something was stuck within the stomp and it was invisible for some unknown reason, so Nemesis tries to touch the invisible object and when he extended his hand toward it, he felt a burning pain shoot up his hand, as blood began to drip from his finger to the ground.

"Ouch, what the hell cut me!"

Nemesis takes a look at his hand to see the cut but it was already gone.

"Wow even my healing factor has evolved to new a level, yeah if I remember correctly only elite fallen have amazingly great healing factor, some can even regenerate an entire body within seconds."

"I wonder what cut me though."

Nemesis then began to see that his pink blood was now red, but that wasn't what he was paying attention to as his blood was seen dripping down from something and all of sudden it slowly began to fade away.

And when it did that a vibrating like sound could be heard as a strong breeze started to flow from all direction coming toward the stump picking the invisible object up and when Nemesis looks in the sky.

A bright and long Katana [Tachi] began to reveal itself, it had long guard that was crimson red and leafy green, while the long 6'0 blades was colored in a pitch-black, and beside it was an orange scabbard that fits the blade perfectly.

It looks almost like the sword his father teach him to use when he was still alive, and when he looked the blade float toward him; and by instinct, he grabs it and instantly recognized the material use to craft the weapon.

"Isn't this my sister horn, but how was it crafted into a weapon."

And just like before when Nemesis wanted answers, the voice of Era echoed into his mind as she said.

[Holy sword of rightful Retribution: Miyamoto: A beautiful blade forge from the horn of one lesser fallen by the one known as Mercury Van Anguish; using a mysterious technique unknown to the world itself, originally the blade itself had the ability to absorb sun-light to heat the blade up to make slicing easy and at full power it could easily wipe out a small army of twenty men with a single "solar slice", but because of the beautiful forging technique that made the blade into a single being which is impossible by normal means was so amazing and beautiful it got the attention of the sword empress Yorimitsu Raikō, she fell in love with blade at first sight and since Mercury did it an injustices by not naming it, she personally bless it; creating the youngest holy sword in history, the blade itself is invisible to sinful creatures and only the wieldier, creator, and those who have pure heart can see it, the blade has the ability to cut spiritual entities and the more blood you feed it the sharper it gets, but the scariest ability it has is the "Divine Blessing of the Sword Empress" which allows the user to cut apart invisible things for example life force, concepts of things and people that are weaker than you, rules, mana, etc]

--Drop!--

Nemesis fell to the ground in shock as the blade fall from his hand, the pure description of what he was reading was insane, he could cut through a concept or anything that is invisible to the eye or the mind.

Was his sire trying to make him the ultimate assassin or something, was the sword empress trying to make him the new sword saint or something, what the hell was he reading, Nemesis might be young but been someone born from the fallen race, no matter how hard he tried he could never leave and go to the outside world because of the seal.

So, listening to the story his sister uses to tell him and learning many things from his parents was all he could do, and he soak in all that information like a sponge because it interests him greatly.

And now here he is, someone who has lost everything, someone who had nothing to live for, someone who was scar beyond repair, someone that carried the fuck up name of Pink-Shit, and to top everything off he was physically and mentally destroyed and humiliated before everyone he knows and loved.

Just the mere thought of thinking of everything Kira and Lord Abedon have done to him was boiling his rage to a new level, and the angrier he got, the stronger he felt, as a huge wave of foreign power course though him.

Eventually a menacing pink aura start to leak from him, as the entire surrounding began to be covered in a huge wave of pink ice.

As the surrounding area temperature began to fall at a drastic rate, and the cracking sound of pink ice engulfing everything could be heard.

Nemesis eyes began to dilate as sinister smile that was reeks of carnage, anger and insanity could be seen, he then began to get up and walk toward Miyamoto while mumbling some words.

"Yes, yes, ithastobeithastobe, I see now sire, so that is your will, you gave me this power not for the sake of my vengeance but for the sake punishing, destroying and tormenting the wicked how could I have been so foolish, stupid, blind, selfish and inconsiderate, yes, my vengeance is a must, but why stop there, I see your message father, sire, master, lord, king, almighty one, greatest one.

"Holy sword of rightful Retribution: Miyamoto, a blade blesses by the sword empress or also known as the sword goddess who was one of the very first mortal to ascend to God-hood after she killed the demi-god or the mystical Oni Shuten-Doji, truly if sire created this beauty with nothing but my sister horn which from his point of view should be nothing but mere rubbish but yet he created it to be so beautiful that the sword empress saw it fit to bless such a weapon, without a doubt sire a god hiding in mortal flesh."

"Don't worry sire I see your vision now, this lowly mortal is truly blind to not understand your will from the very beginning, I shall devote my whole life into slaughtering the unjust, the wicked, the deceitful, the sinful, the wrongful, the corrupted, all of them shall fall by me, me, me, me, me they have no right to not receive punishment their blood will splatter like paint on a canvas, I will delete all their existence, of course if you see it fit, I can delete anyone from existence good or bad- but anyone who defies you is clearly evil and unjust regardless."

From there Nemesis pick up Miyamoto as began to walk toward to cave continue his ramble fill with insanity.

"I wonder what should I do now, hmm... yes, the first course of action will be to find sire I'm sure he shouldn't be too far from here... after all I have memorized his scent, so finding him shouldn't be too hard of a task to accomplish."

From there Nemesis set out to find Mercury but just when he was about to leave, he was petrified with a great amount of fear, so much so, he didn't even dear to move much less breath as a voice rang out from behind him.

"So, you're the Kin of the little monster."

Nemesis a person who was given the opportunity to cast judgment upon others, a person who was bless by both the Oni-God Kijin and the sword empress, a person capable of cutting through concepts, killing immortal being, and also able cut invisible things, was now petrified to point his own body refused to even move another step.

"Mhh... oh me oh my, did my mere presence left you petrified?"

"Well, I do apologize it's something I have no control over its the very reason the only friends I have is a whining drunk, a gluttonous dog and wrathful Oddity pervert because they are strong enough to stand the terrifying power of the djinn aura that always leaking from me."

"And since my queen is not here, she can't suppress it so I do apologize for the inconvenience, well with that said let's just get straight to the point, I need you to come with me; preferably by your own will and not by me having to use violence, I hate it and will only use it if I have to, so please surrender willingly I promised I won't hurt you."

Said the mysterious voice of a girl who is trying to come off nicely, but to Nemesis it had the opposite effect as he was completely terrified by her.

It was so bad it was like being near death itself, he felt like he sinking in a sea of pure madness.

But thankfully he was getting back some dominion over his own body ever so slightly thank to his unique skill "Avenger" which was converting the emotion of fear into power.

So been around the girl was a win but also a curse for him, he was confident he could kill her if he gets a good hit in, but out of all the people, he had to run into why did it had to be her, hell he would be pleased to have run into any Draken except for sloth, hell even an army of demon would be better.

But it had to be her, the very person who led and have complete authority over the fallen army of a million strong, the Supreme commander, the one rumored to have so much power she could wipe out an entire content by mere thought alone, the one said to be the 3rd strongest vessel lord in the world, the one said to have power from an entire unknown and incompressible plane of existence entirely.

"The wish granter, her eminence Roren Cordelia Sothoth the angel dyed in madness."
