Kurobe keeps walking through the cave in bottom of the abyss, as killing more monsters by using his new created weapons.
Kurobe: Let's start with the carnage!
He killed some monster by his long katana with fast slashes.
Kurobe: This blade is very sharp. And because of mix with the alloy Forever Iron, I can cut almost everything as long as join my power with it.
He killed other monster to long distant by shooting magic bullets from his shotgun.
Kurobe: And this short shotgun, I create special bullets with my power and kill in instant. The alloy make them powerful.
Kurobe finished killing the monsters that surrounded him.
Kurobe: These weapons are awesome! I can attack by close or distant. Sorry for taking your style, Dante (From Devil May Cry) (Checking his status with his device) And thanks to these battles, I'm leveling up more! That would be enough to escape from this abyss!
He checked his body too, looking for something on his skin.
Kurobe: Now I remember, what happened to my injuries? (Remembering the attacks on his leg and chest) Maybe… (Remembering his head on fire) That curse… a regenerating skill?
Then he took his dagger as checking it.
Kurobe: I should throw this away, but… (Imagining that dagger inside a packet as special item in his family) This belongs to my family for many years. I'll keep it as a remembrance.
//Flashback//
Kurobe was training in the academy. Then Captain Kurosaki came to him.
Captain Kurosaki: Akatsuki, until now you didn't show any progress in your power. You're lacking in magic.
Kurobe: Yes, that's why I'm training in combat.
Captain Kurosaki: I don't want make you sad, but you're not good enough to the mission. You have to quit.
Kurobe: I can't quit! I have to fight! For my family!
Captain Kurosaki: We lost many loved people in the war against Satan's army!
Kurobe: Please, let me be here more. I'll be useful in the battle!
Captain Kurosaki: We'll go a real combat training. This battle is your last test, if you fail, you'll have to leave academy.
Kurobe: (Sad) Yes.
Kurobe was sad as checking his dagger.
//End of flashback//
Kurobe felt a strange presence to another side.
Kurobe: What is that presence? Maybe the exit?
At other side, at the academy, captain Kurosaki was in a meeting with some priests from the Holly church. Hayato, Mai and Kentaro were there too.
Priest 1: About your report.
Captain Kurosaki: We were sent by a magic circle to a cave which was filled by monsters.
Priest 2: Circle magic? That should be a trap to catch you.
Captain Kurosaki: We almost made it to escape.
Priest 1: We heard bad news from our Lord God, that one of the heroes died during that attack.
Captain Kurosaki: Yes, I'm sorry for not saving him.
Priest 3: Well, nothing is done. A lost weak life won't slow our troops. We must be ready for next battle.
Mai: (Upset) How dare you? A weak life? Akatsuki-kun gave his life to save us!
Hayato: Calm down Mai!
Priest 1: Don't keep thinking in that incident. All of you must be focusing in training. Those are the words of our Lord God!
Mai: But…
Captain Kurosaki: Yes sir. We understand.
The priests leaves them. Mai was little upset to hear those words.
Captain Kurosaki: Hayato, make everyone to continue training after recovering your energy.
Hayato: Yes.
Later, Mai went to a room. There, Akane was resting in a bed. She seems sad. Mai was on her side.
Mai: (Worried) Akane.
//Flashback//
During the escape, Kurobe was injured to his leg. Then he desperately tries to reach to his party.
Akane: (Worried) Akatsuki-kun!
Suddenly a living skeleton pierced Kurobe with a blade behind him through his chest side. Akane and the others were in shock to see that.
Kurobe: (In shock and bleeding) No! I don't… want to die… like this…
Then the bridge was collapsing, the monster were falling. Kurobe was falling as bleeding.
Akane: (Crying) Akatsuki-kun!
Hayato: (Stopping her) Wait, Akane!
Akane: (Crying) Akatsuki-kun! We can't abandon him!
Hayato: It's too late you know! We can't be here!
Akane: (Crying) No! I promised him I'll save him! I can't abandon him!
Hayato: (Trying to stop her) Akane, that's enough! He's gone!
Akane: (Crying desperately) Akatsuki-kun! AKATSUKI-KUN!
Suddenly Captain Kurosaki knocked her down with a hit. Mai grabbed her.
Hayato: Captain!
Captain Kurosaki: We can't lose another member. That kid let us to escape.
Hayato: That wasn't necessary!
Mai: Hayato, that's enough.
Captain Kurosaki: There is the magic circle to escape! Let's move.
The party went to the magic circle and were transported away from the cave.
//End of flashback//
Mai was stroking Akane's hair. Then Akane woke up.
Akane: Mai.
Mai: Are you okey, Akane?
Akane: Where are we?
Mai: We're at the academy. We escaped from that cave.
Akane: We escaped? Wait! Akatsuki-kun? Where is he? Is he alright?
Mai: Akane…
Akane: (Very worried) No! Akatsuki-kun, I have to go back! I have to save him!
Mai stopped her by embracing her.
Mai: Akane! Stop!
Akane: (Sobbing) No! Akatsuki-kun! I have to go! I have to go!
Mai: (Sad) Akane! We can't do anything. He's gone.
Akane: (Crying) No! No, no, no, no, no! (Tearfully) Akatsuki-kun!
Meanwhile, Kurobe arrived another of the cave, and he found a gate.
Kurobe: A gate? It can be the exit!
Then a giant monster appeared. It's a troll with a chain on its chest and carrying a huge club. Also it carries a black chain on its body.
Kurobe: (Smirking) Are you the guardian of the exit?
The troll run and attacks Kurobe with its club.
Kurobe: You're strong! But I won't let anyone be in my way!
The troll used its club. Kurobe dodged and used his blade to cut its arm. The troll was angry and punched him very strong. Kurobe was throw to the ground.
Kurobe: (Injured) Damn! What a strength! I'll have to kill it!
He used his shotgun, fired charged bullets to the troll. Provoking explosions.
Kurobe: Suck that!
But the troll seems not injured. Then it grabbed the chain and attacked. Kurobe shot to the chain but was ineffective.
Kurobe: That chain, seems very hard, unless its material is…
The troll attacked again with the chain but Kurobe moved very fast until he climbed to its face.
Kurobe: (Pointing his shotgun to its face) Fatality!
He shot to its face, pulverizing its head. Kurobe was checking its corpse, but focused on the chain.
Kurobe: I see, that chain is made with the Forever Iron alloy. It would be useful. (Taking the chain) I'll think how to use it later, now…
He headed to the gate and opened. It looks like a another cave with a cell at a side.
Kurobe: What it is? It's like a prison.
He noticed a cell door so he approached. He saw someone there.
Kurobe: Who?
He realized there was a naked girl with long light blue hair. She was chained.
Kurobe: Hey!
Girl: (Waking up) Eh? A human?
Kurobe: Why are you here?
Girl: I don't know. I don't remember how much time I was here.
She seems weak. Kurobe saw the chains were magic as her body was covered with invisible energy.
Kurobe: You don't feel well. Those chains are rare. (Breaking the door) How is your head?
Girl: I was in jail, during these years I feel my mana was being draining. But also some is being used as food to keep me alive.
Kurobe: I see, those chains are magic. So you don't have enough magic to break free.
Girl: No, also some of my memories are missing. I don't remember my past. It seems my aging is slow.
Kurobe: (Pointing his blade to her) So, you want to be free?
Girl: I wish that.
Kurobe: But I don't know you. How do I know you won't attack me back, or betray me?
Girl: I've already being alone many years. What makes me to attack you?
Kurobe: (Pointing his blade to her, menacing her) I don't know but, anyone who dares screw me, I kill!
Girl: (Giving up) Fine, then just kill me or leave.
Kurobe: Then.
He slashed her with his blade.
At the academy room, Akane was being comforted by Mai.
Mai: Akane, are you fine now.
Akane: Yeah, thanks to be at my side.
Mai: Of course, I'm your best friend since childhood.
Akane: I'm decided to become stronger. To help our party.
Mai: Eh?
Akane: I'll need your support to help me, Mai. Please.
Mai: (Smiling) Count with me.
Akane: I know I'm thinking weird but… I don't think Akatsuki-kun is dead. So I'll gain enough level to go back. Until I find him, so I'll go on.
Mai: Akane, fine. I'll help you as much I can. (Embracing her)
Akane: Thanks, Mai. (Little tearfully) Akatsuki-kun.
At the abyss, Kurobe slashed the girl, but it's seen he cut the chains, getting her free.
Girl: (Little confused) Eh? Why?
Kurobe: You don't seem a menace to me. So go wherever you want. I quit.
Kurobe was leaving but the girl was following him.
Kurobe: What do you want?
Girl: I don't know where to go.
Kurobe: Just get out and look for a good friend who is not me!
Girl: Yeah, but… I can't go naked.
Kurobe blushed a little to see her full naked.
Kurobe: (Little blushed) Good point. Well…
Later Kurobe gave her a beast skin, so she wears it.
Kurobe: I have this from one beast, it should be enough.
Girl: Yeah, thanks.
Kurobe: Now go away. I have to find the exit of this abyss.
Girl: You're looking for an exit?
Kurobe: Yes, I have enough hunting ugly monsters. (His stomach grew in funny way) I want to eat something delicious from my home!
Girl: I wish I can eat something good. I was being fed by magic.
Kurobe: Then, let's get out here. Maybe I show you places where you can eat.
Girl: Really? (Smiling) Thanks.
Kurobe: Fine, let's go.
Kurobe and the girl came out of the prison. Then a giant lizard was on a walk and attacked them but with a fast slash, Kurobe kills it easily.
Kurobe: Tch! What a weak!
He didn't realize another giant was behind him. But suddenly the giant lizard was frozen and cracked into pieces.
Kurobe: What the?
He realized the girl used magic and froze the monster saving him.
Girl: Are you okey?
Kurobe: You have ice magic?
Girl: Yes I think. When I was prisoned, my magic was sealed. Now I remember a little about my power.
Kurobe: Not bad, let's go girl.
Girl: I don't like being called just girl.
Kurobe: And what is your name?
Girl: I don't remember.
Kurobe: (Funny confused) Are you kidding?
Girl: Sorry. Can you give me a name?
Kurobe: Your name? Let's see… because you have ice magic… what about… Yukianesa?
Girl: Yukianesa? Looks nice I think.
Kurobe: I think it's too long, then I'll call you Yuki to make easy.
Yuki: (Smiling) Yuki, I like that name. I'll keep that name.
Kurobe: Good to meet you, Yuki. You can call me Kurobe.
Yuki: Yes, Kurobe.
Kurobe: Let's get out of here.
Kurobe and Yuki walk to other place looking for the exit. Some other monsters appeared but they managed to kill them. After that, they were camping with a fire.
Yuki: I never have a camp.
Kurobe: Are you okey, I mean the fire isn't dangerous for you?
Yuki: Between magic elements is a disadvantage, but not as standard life. I'm okey.
Kurobe: Okey. (Using his device to bring some meat and cook) I hope these other monsters have better taste.
Then Kurobe give some meat to Yuki.
Kurobe: Here.
They were eating in peaceful.
Yuki: Unless it's not dirty.
Kurobe: After this, (Remembering how the troll used the chain in attack) I'll make something.
Kurobe took his dagger and the black chain. Also took the Forever Iron piece. Then he used magic to fuse them. His dagger changed into a smaller knife like a spear and the chain was attached to it.
Yuki: What are you doing?
Kurobe: I'm inspiriting from a fictional character.
After that he used some blood drops to complete the work. Then he attached the long chain around his right arm, with his spear dangling at the end.
Kurobe: I need another weapon, first one with close combat, other with long distant, and now other with both style.
Yuki: (Little confused) I think.
In an unknown place, like demonic palace, Satan was on his throne.
Satan: I looks like my little experiment is growing well.
Then three demons were present to him, two males and one female.
Satan: You came, my General Demons.
Female General Demon: Satan-sama, some of my minions informed someone was walking from the abyss. Also he's strong. I thought all the humans who came in my cave, by transport, are gone.
Satan: Yes, I know.
General Demon 1: Also the prisoner was released by that human.
General Demon 2: Really? Why that phenomenon?
Satan: It's fine. I'll deal with that. For now go to rule other regions. The time of the end of this war against the Lord god of the human is close. And it will be great the Hell Ace be born!
The General demons were surprised to hear his words. Satan was smiling evilly.
At the abyss, Kurobe and Yuki keep walking.
Yuki: How can you use your new weapon?
Kurobe: I didn't think that. I'll find out.
Then something was in front of them. Like a female mythical monster.
Yuki: That… her level is very strong!
Kurobe: Yes, bigger than the troll. A Medusa monster?
The Medusa was ready to attack. Behind her there was magic circle.
Yuki: Kurobe, behind is a transport magic circle!
Kurobe: Yeah, our way to get out, but first let's defeat that monster!
