Chapter 96 — The Broken Seal

---

Location: Real World — Shinjuku, rooftop above the battlefield

---

Aika's body convulsed violently in Yuuto's arms.

Lightning cracked across the sky. Her marks pulsed, not with chaotic power— but with purpose. The curse had changed. Awakened.

> Rei stumbled backward. "Her seal… it's shattering."

> Mayu's voice trembled. "That wasn't supposed to happen. No one's ever broken the Blood Seal and lived."

And yet—

Aika breathed. Her eyes fluttered open.

Yuuto Returns

In a flash of white, Yuuto gasped awake, eyes glowing dim gold.

He was soaked in sweat, barely conscious.

Aika lay in his arms, her body warm again, chest rising… slowly.

> "Aika," he whispered. "Come back to me."

She looked up at him — and smiled.

> "You really… came for me," she said, tears slipping down her cheeks.

"Even the curse couldn't stop you."

But Something Changed...

Her curse marks no longer flared out wildly. Instead, they moved — gently pulsing with a heartbeat of their own.

> "That's… not supposed to happen," Mayu muttered. "The curse is alive. And it's synchronized with him."

Suddenly — thunder boomed.

The masked enemy — still watching from the alley below — tilted his head.

> "They merged," he whispered, almost… impressed.

"So the girl survived. And the boy made her his."

His grin widened beneath the mask.

> "Now the real game begins."

The Transformation

Aika stood slowly.

Her skin glowed faint red. Her hair flowed unnaturally in the wind. Her eyes… no longer fully human.

> "Yuuto," she said softly, "I… remember everything. I am the curse now. But I'm not afraid."

Yuuto stepped beside her. Their hands touched — and something divine surged between them.

> "Then we fight together," he said.

---

Final Warning

From the shadows, a new figure emerged — taller, older, his body covered in ancient tattoos and markings. His presence sucked the warmth from the air.

> "You've unsealed the girl. You think that's power? No… now, she is the key. And everyone will hunt her. Even the gods."

Aika's face grew pale.

> "He's right. I wasn't just cursed… I was sealed for a reason."
