Yuki's intention was to closely observe these 'spirits' and discover if they had any connection to him. The words of the Ego of the Lord of the Abyss were still fresh in his mind, and although he knew these spirits were created by the first spirit, Mio Takamiya, he thought it prudent to take a closer look.
However, he never imagined that the moment the spirit arrived in the world, he would feel the same as he did when he first met Kurumi.
*Thump, thump, thump*
That sickening feeling, almost like a need to be with your counterpart, to become one again, to devour if necessary. His heart pounded, and Kurumi noticed it immediately...
The feeling was the same as back then, and Yuki was caught off guard, unable to resist the call of this spirit girl...
Princess was in the same situation, her Sephira crystal responded to Yuki's call, sending out spiritual pulses...
"Danna-sama?"
Kurumi asked with concern, but Yuki didn't respond and kept his gaze fixed on Princess. His irregular breathing reminded Kurumi of their first time in the world of the Gods...
"Ahhhhh!!"
For Princess, this feeling was terrifying yet joyous. Never before had she felt this way, making it easy to lose control. Her first instinct was to attack, to destroy the source of this discomfort...
"Sandalphon!"
Without hesitation, she called her angel, and the Throne of Annihilation rose from the ground as Princess raised her sword...
(Sandalphon?!)
This name left Yuki dazed for a few seconds, enough time for Princess to launch her attack...
But was it that easy to take Yuki by surprise?
The answer was no. No matter how distracted Yuki was, his body instinctively avoided danger. He kicked the air, and one of the Balls of Truth transformed into a staff, colliding head-on with Sandalphon...
*Bam
Yuki's momentum was greater, dragging Princess along and smashing her into a nearby building. Princess planted her feet firmly on the ground, but Yuki's strength was superior, leaving only a trail of debris in her wake...
*Bam, bam
With contact established, the maddening feeling intensified. Yuki no longer cared about Sandalphon and continued dragging the girl, crashing through one building and then the next. With just his momentum, he managed to subdue Princess, but it wasn't enough. The longer they stayed together, the stronger the feeling became, and their Sephira crystals kept sending spiritual pulses...
*Boom...
As buildings crumbled, Yuki pushed the girl into the clouds...
Princess shot into the sky, and Yuki followed...
"Ahhhh!!"
Princess roared like a wounded animal, but Yuki didn't stop, using the staff to keep hitting her, giving her no chance to recover...
Princess was pushed back each time by the intense clash of power...
Sandalphon glowed, releasing waves of energy. However, the Balls of Truth didn't lag behind, shooting out as stakes, intercepting the waves and continuing towards Princess...
"Ackk?!"
Princess managed to dodge one of the Balls of Truth, but the other was unavoidable, impaling her shoulder. Instantly, an unknown power entered her body, distorting all her Reiryoku. Yuki didn't stop, striking hard...
*Clink...
This caused Sandalphon to fly from Princess's hands. With her weapon lost, Yuki's eyes lit up...
He no longer saw Princess as a person; instead, she was like his prey, large and delicious...
And then he lowered his staff for the final blow, but at that moment, a golden throne intervened...
*Boom*
The collision sent Princess flying along with the throne, allowing her to recover quickly. She twisted in the air, and Sandalphon returned to her hand. The golden throne began to shatter, fusing with the sword...
"Halvanhelev!"
With Sandalphon combined with the Throne of Annihilation, the strength and form of the sword changed completely.
But for Yuki, this wasn't a problem. On the contrary, he was happier—the stronger Princess was, the better...
*Shiii
The energy released by Sandalphon cut through the air, released on a massive scale....
Yuki didn't care; he was excited. This feeling of letting his body follow its instincts was both relaxing and worrying. For Yuki, this feeling was a way to release his body, so he welcomed Princess's change with open arms...
"Come, my steel queen!"
The door of the spirits opened, and a silver sword flew out. Feeling her master's call, Est transformed instantly, entering battle mode...
"Ha!"
*Shiiiiii
Yuki wielded her, swinging his hand and releasing an energy attack that quickly clashed with Princess's.
Another collision of power impulses, but unlike before when Princess could resist, Est's strike was stronger, quickly cutting through Halvanhelev's energy attacks and continuing towards Princess...
"Ugh?!"
Princess tried to resist this impulse, swinging Halvanhelev with force. Sparks of energy spread from both forces, but it was useless. The clouds were cut by this attack, and although Halvanhelev was tough and powerful, it was still a bit behind the Steel Queen baptized by Order.
*Creakkk
Fragments of the Throne separated, and under Princess's surprised eyes, several notches appeared on Sandalphon. Her arms twisted irregularly from the impulse, causing Princess to be engulfed by the attack and knocked from the sky...
*BOOMMMMM
The continuous strike followed her to the ground, leaving a large trench. Everything in its path was knocked down, but this was expected. Est was a Mid-Destroyer wielded by Yuki, a Low-Destroyer; their combined strength was on another level...
The dust cloud soon cleared, and just beside the enormous trench, Princess was still alive...
Though badly injured, her astral dress was incomplete, exposing much of her white skin. This attack cut through her spiritual armor like butter, causing a deep wound on her shoulder.
Fortunately, she acted quickly to deflect most of the attack; otherwise, she might not be alive to find out...
*Cough... Cough...
Blood came from her mouth, and she was so weak she couldn't even stand. Sandalphon disappeared, leaving only the enormous trench around her...
*Bam.
And this was, of course, the most delicious moment for Yuki. He fell at high speed, creating a crater, approaching Princess step by step, savoring this strange feeling...
"!!"
Princess trembled. She was scared at that moment and wanted to escape. She had never been so gravely injured but now lay there, unable to move, her feelings fluctuating strongly...
*Bam
"You're mine now!"
But Yuki didn't care about this or consider Princess's feelings at that moment. He was intoxicated with this feeling of winning over his counterpart. He grabbed Princess, lifting her into his arms...
His breathing grew heavier, and Princess was also affected by this feeling, as her fear slowly faded, preparing for the next step...
To become one again...
Yuki brought his lips to Princess's and hugged her tightly, wanting to seal the deal...
But he didn't realize that Princess's astral dress was fading and her existence was starting to merge with her broken soul...
Getting closer to the final step, but a voice awakened the duo...
"Danna-sama, this is enough..."
Kurumi emerged from the shadows, interrupting the kiss and the beginning of the fusion...
The astral dress stopped fading, and Princess closed her eyes. With the ritual interrupted, she couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
As for Yuki, he blinked, clearing his thoughts...
"Kurumi... I..."
"It's okay, Danna-sama. The explanation can come later, but we need to leave here now."
She pointed to the sky, where AST had appeared again, with the group also including Tobichi Origami. Yuki, seeing her approach, felt his hair stand on end like a mouse facing a cat.
"Let's go..."
Yuki didn't hesitate for a second. He took Princess and sank into the shadows, Kurumi following suit. The last thing they heard was a shout....
"Onii-chan!!"
