The crimson moon's light fell on both Waguri [Hyacinth] and Death while they were both ready to attack each other.
Waguri's kimono set as she bends a little lower to point her katana toward Death. She holds a katana in her right hand while her left hand rests beside her waist.
But still her left hand's finger didn't rest, and the whole time, while Waguri was about to attack, her fingers were making some kind of hand signs.
Death holds her gladius in both hands while moving toward Waguri. She opened her lips while walking and let out a whispered, "A witch… Being a samurai, that's a new thing in my whole existence…"
Waguri moves while her blade is pointed toward Death; as she leans forward toward Death, Death moves to the side to dodge it.
But as Death was about to move, she felt the immense force of gravity pulling her toward the ground and making her unable to move an inch.
She tried her best to move her body, but she was unable to move even her gladius in her hands. "What…? If gravitational force is that much, why am I still standing…? Why am I not glued to the ground?"
Death looks up to Waguri with a little shock; she saw Waguri's crossed katana on her body, slicing her arm from its side.
"How's that even possible… This can't be possible in the eternal realm, so how?" Death spoke as the voice felt heavier in her own ears.
Waguri placed her katana on Death's body and whispered as she moved around toward Death. "Oooh, confused… and shocked… This is rare; this is also my first time seeing death itself confused and shocked."
Death looks in Waguri's eyes while she is still unable to move her body. She keeps listening to Waguri as she clenches her lips.
"Did you forget… Who am I to you, sister? Of course you forget… So let me recall again… I'm Hyacinth, whose real name is 'Life,' and you are the opposite of me. You are 'Death.'"
She takes off her blade from Death's body and puts it on her shoulder while continuing to walk in circles around Death.
"You forget that you are still in a clone and you are in a human body too… For the past 500-plus years, you have been in a human body. Remember and don't ever forget again…"
Waguri swings her sword in the air and cuts off the head of Death; as she slices Death's head, instead of blood coming out of her body, it starts vanishing and fading in the air.
Waguri turned toward the crimson moon and pointed her katana at it while continuing what she was saying.
"I'm 'Life,' origin of everything… So you can't kill me until Eternity falls and the end of the universe comes. Yeah, that day will come when you will take the lives of every other maiden and end the cycle of life in the universe."
As she speaks, her voice seems to be calm but serious and deadly. "So… Come out, sister. Face me… I, as the guardian of fate, hereby challenge Death for the sake of the fate of this universe."
As she spoke while pointing her blade toward it, the crimson moon of eternity started glowing from its scratch, and it widened, revealing a crimson-colored illusory wall that seemed to block the inside of the crimson moon.
From that illusory wall, a lady came out; her presence seemed to be too strong and deadly, her black hair flowed in the air as her dark pupil gaze fell upon Waguri.
Her face was covered in darkness, only revealing her eyes. The mask of darkness seems to be endlessly dark; other than having an original mask, this mask seems to be darkness itself.
She floated in the air and came down toward Waguri. While that lady moves, the crimson moon of eternity, which seemed to be shattered into pieces, has now been restored.
She steps on the ground. While her feet are already covered in darkness. The moment she steps on the ground, the black flowers within a radius of 1 meter start dying and melting under her presence.
She moved toward Waguri, but then, in the way she opened her palm, there was a flash of light, and that gladius formed in that lady's hand, which the Death clone was holding.
Waguri smiled as she saw Death coming toward her. She let out a whisper while getting ready to fight. "Well, well… if it isn't Death herself. It's been a while, hasn't it, sister?"
Seath didn't reply but instead kept walking toward Waguri, the gladius in her hand glowing a crimson color.
Waguri keeps talking as she also starts moving toward Death; their distance from each other seems to be like 40 meters.
"It looks like the poor girl isn't in the mood to reply. Well then… Let me make your mode…"
They both clash their blades, and an immense form of shock waves is released, traveling in the endless realm of eternity.
Meanwhile, in Caelvara's underground area…
Éloïse's body seems to be unconscious, while the golden dagger, which was made of perfume, is poured into her chest as an illusion.
Henry's body seems soulless lying on the ground, and upon his soulless body, a golden portal opens.
After a short time, Éloïse's body moved, and her hands, which were holding that golden dagger, moved, and her eyes opened. She then took out the dagger from her chest, which was purely illusory.
At the moment, she takes out the golden dagger from her chest; that dagger seems to be dripping with a golden liquid.
She then opened her palm and put the dagger on it, and in a short time, that dagger disappeared and formed back into a bottle of perfume.
She then turned her eyes toward Henry and held his head with both her hands, while the portal on his chest disappeared.
She put her fingertip on Henry's neck to check his breathing, and then she felt Henry's breathing and relieved herself.
Henry seems to be sleeping after his soul returned to his body. Éloïse smiled as she looked at him sleeping and then rubbed her hands on his face.
She then stood up from there and opened the door of the room… The moment she opened the door, her order bumped into one person as he was also walking into the room.
That person was shocked while looking at Éloïse and then spoke in a hurry while looking worried. "Madame… Are you alright? Did you capture James again? Sorry for being late… I go to help others to bury those members of our order."
Éloïse looked at him while feeling a little confused, and then she asked in a hurry, "How much time has passed since you took those bodies out of the room and returned now?"
That member of the order thinks for a moment before replying while putting his hand in his black suit's pocket, "More like 4 minutes have passed since then to now. Why, you ask, Madame?"
Éloïse was shocked a little before thinking in her mind.
Wait, after they took both bodies and left, I had already captured James, and it took 3 minutes for me to talk and finish killing him… Then that means we go to the eternal realm of death and life in 1 minute and return in the same minute…
She looks at the member of the order and then looks back in the room; then, suddenly, she moves toward the person standing in front of him and speaks hurriedly.
"Anyway… take him to my home." She said while pointing toward Henry. And then that member nodded and went back to the other member of the order to get some help.
Éloïse turned back into the room and went near Henry and took off her hat, and put it on Henry's chest while staring at him.
She closed her hand as if she was thinking something deep while staring at Henry's face.
