CLAAAAAAASH!!!
An explosion of darkness and chaos echoed everywhere, shattering the floor below Maria and Kuro, and letting out countless black lightning strikes.
"Hahaha- Eh?"
FLAAAAASSHHH!
However, a ray of light surged from the skies, suddenly guarding Maria, and Kuro, as a knight wearing golden and white armor emerged, his eyes flaring with golden, holy flames.
