Chapter 25 - Episode 24- A Sword That is Darker than Nothingness 

In front of the demon assassins stood a boy with sandy-blond hair who could be seen, standing calmly. Flaxen hair that fluttered under the moonlight, making the boy even more beautiful, caramel eyes that were so bright, but so cold looking at the two demons. The boy's face was so calm, it was as if he had no worries about fighting the demons. The boy, Shito Mahinu, is a transfer student from Lemore Academy.

The two demon assassins' faces frowned up at the sight of Shito, they were wondering why they were fighting a pretty boy. Not only was he beautiful, but the calm face he also had was something they did not like deep down. People were supposed to fear demons, but his face looked like he did not care about the demons at all, a face that was telling them the boy had no fear of anyone.

"Why do you look so calm?" Zero-One asked looking at the beautiful man. You could feel the displeasure in the tone of his voice. "You are about to die here, so can't you show a little bit of emotion."

"I mean… You two can't beat me even if I didn't try that is the reality of this situation."

The two demon assassins rushed toward Shito, the speed they were running at was at speeds that were faster than the speed of light. The two had daggers in their hands and Ki was flowing out of their bodies, the strength they had reached was enough for them to destroy multiple stars.

The group of assassins disappeared and reappeared in front of his face. The two demons' speed increased drastically, and they were ten times faster than the speed of light.

However, it did not really matter how fast the two assassins were because they were still slower than Shito, the speed of light that they were moving at was much slower than his speed even at one percent of his power.

Shito stuck out both of his hands and with two fingers he caught the daggers of the assassins. Zero-One was on his left side and Zero-Three was on his right side. The force that was put into the daggers was enough to destroy a star. The duo of demons was growing stronger and stronger by the passing second because of the Ki that was expanding inside of their bodies.

"Is that all you can do? And here I thought you two we going to be strong."

Both assassins quickly abandoned their sword, putting enough distance to get out of his striking range. There are over twenty meters between them and Shito but—

"Ughhhh! What… the hell… was that?" the two demon assassins said in unison, looking at their arms. Both of their arms were severed clean, they did not even see him strike them. After that, that was when they noticed that they were in his striking range.

There is no way…! We aren't in his striking range! That cannot be because we are over twenty meters away from it!

Shito just stared at the two assassins, he could see the confusion they felt after being hit by his magic spell. There was no sword in his hand and their hand was easily cut off.

"Even if you run to another dimension, you two would always be in my striking range."

With that, they finally realized the reality of their situation. Even though he did not even have a sword they could not escape him, any word that came out of his mouth would instantly become reality. Any thought he thought would instantly become a reality. The entire world followed his will and there was nothing that could be done about it.

What kind of power allows one to completely manipulate the world? The powers that a normal mage could not hope to wield, even the strongest mage did not have the ability to manipulate reality… it was something that only Shito could do. A power that allows him to manipulate reality via reality warping. Reality warping would completely allow him to take control of all the laws of the universe and allow him to destroy, rewrite, and even create new ones.

Shito looked at the two assassins and noticed that their arms were already regenerated. Even though it was to be expected since the regenerative abilities demons possess are immense.

"I guess it's time for me to kill you two, I got two people waiting for me, and dragging out a pointless fight would be boring."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zero-One asked, getting a little angry from the underestimation he was receiving from Shito, "There is no way that we demons are going to die so quickly to you. Our regenerative abilities are above that. So, underestimating us would be your downfall."

Shito stomped the ground and the ground started to glow in the color of darkness. A sword was forming into the universe, the sword was forming like a shadow and Shito grabbed the hilt of the sword.

The sword was made from his mana. A sword that could destroy anything in the world. A sword that could obliterate anything back to nothingness. A sword that was called—

"Abyzou, heed my call and appear before me."

With that, the shadow-like sword completely formed, and the blade could be seen. A beautiful jet back blade with a tint of silver was formed into the world.

The entire world started to shake from the mere presence of the sword.

"What kind of sword is that… you have not even done anything, and the entire world is shaking. Is there such a sword in existence? No there is no such weapon, which is a weapon that is a threat to the entire world. A sword like that should not be wielded by a normal human." Zero-One said, frightened by the mere presence of the sword. Nothing like that should even exist in the world. The sword was condensed from the deepest parts of the void, and the void was something the races did not even know about.

Shito's calm expression had not changed at all, there was no sort of emotion present on his face. He was like an empty shell, devoid of any emotion.

"Whoever said I was a normal human?" Shito asked, calmly, "I don't even think I can be classified as a human to begin with. My body and soul are infused with something that's darker than nothingness, you could say that I am like a void myself. I may say my strength comes from the void… but there are some things that are different, the energy from the 'void' is not stronger than the void energy in my body. My void energy is darker and more powerful than the energy from the void."

The two demons looked at him confused, having no idea what he was talking about. Void energy was something they had never heard about before in their entire lives and since they were demons and had their second transformation. They had to have lived over two thousand years.

Void energy was something that the people did not know about, only a selected few had the strength to reach the void. Two people who reached the void were Sara and Shito, the mages who could return everything back to nothingness.

But was that really the history of the void? Were they actually the only people that reached the void? The answer was no because—

Energy from the void is only known by me and my sister and the only reason she knows about it is because I told her about it. After reaching the void, I absorbed and made it my own, so there is no way that someone is going to reach that kind of power again… not even people from the other parallel worlds could reach that power. Unless they had the strength to create their own.

—The power was his and his alone and the reason his sister had received it was because of his will. He had gifted the power to her because he wanted her to become stronger, with two strong people the world would be protected easily. There was an infinite number of parallel worlds out there and they had to keep their world safe from invasion.

"There is no need for me to keep talking about anything with you two. You are going to die soon, so there is no need to delay the inevitable … this is the fate of you two."

With that, the fate of the demon assassins was decided. There was nothing they could do to change the future they currently have. Death was the only thing that awaited them.

Shito swung his sword and both assassins' arms were cut off. Their regeneration ability was negated, so regenerating from having their arms cut off was impossible.

"W-Why the hell can we not regenerate?!"

The flaxen-haired boy stared flatly. "...I negated that ability…"

He swings his sword again but this time he was not just going to destroy their limbs. Shito was going to destroy their whole body. Thus, returning them back to nothingness. There was no stopping the sword from returning him to nothingness, after all the sword was nothingness itself.

Not even a single sound could be heard from the demon assassins as they got swallowed up by the darkness from the sword. The demon assassins lit up in a beautiful jet-black light, fading out of the world, and returning to nothingness.

"Well, I guess I should go see that little assassin girl and Tenka."

With that, the fight between the demon assassins and Shito ended. He walked towards the girls that stood behind him, there was a barrier surrounding them that protected them from getting hit by the attacks.
