The Seven Deadly Sins:"In the seventh century of the divine alchemical calendar, a series of seven weapons were forged by the hands of the demonic gods. These weapons have been passed on from generation to generation, finding their hosts who bore the respective burden of the sin these weapons carried.
Greed- the scepter of greed holds the power of "all shall be mine", a power that summons energy infinitely to it's wielder, even if it means the wielder dies from the energy".
-The Dark Chronicles-
Hajime was faced with Akion's mutation. There was no way to actively sever the bond without him dying. Hajime needed to stop him from going on a rampage. With a firm decision, he drew the Dark Knight's Weapon and decided to bring him down a peg. He had to gauge the prince's strength at that level, since charging in blindly for an assault was tantermount to suicide.
He summoned spike field, directing the onslot at prince Akion.
"Let's gauge your awareness in this state".
AAAARGH!!!!!
The gutteral roar from the prince was all he needed to know. The prince dogde with a zombish movement, striking the ground with the staff as a dark mist overflowed in the yard.
From the depths of the mist, an army of skeletal soldiers burst forth. The prince gestured towards Hajime, signalling the skeletal warriors to attack. Hajime decided to feed on some soul energy, calling out for Lilith, the blood red queen and his trusty contract soul.
"Scarlet Blossom Bloom!!! Petal Scattering Blade!!"
Shing!!
"What's going on, master?!".
"He's been possessed by some sort of ancient weapon. The system called it, A Deadly Sin Weapon. Got any idea on what to do?"
"That energy!! It can't be? All traces of those weapons were lost!! Unless..."
"...Master, we have to drain him of all his energy!!"
"But how though?!"
"We have to destroy and absorb the life force of the skeletons. It should make a good source of energy for your soul vampirism".
"I was thinking the exact same thing. Alright then Lily".
Hajime dashes towards prince Akion, his black hair with magenta stained streaks fluttering gracefully as opposed to the violent fluttering of prince Akion's purple locks.
As he closed the proximity with the skeletal soldiers, he activated the second stage attack of the Petal Scattering Blade, Rising Petal Scatterer!!
Shing!! Shing!! ... ... Shing!!!!
With slashes and flashes of violent neon-pink light, he tore through every single skeletal soldier in his path.
"He flinched! Which means... "
AAAARGH!!
"Knew it! He's caught on to our tricks!!"
Prince Akion roared in agony, charging towards Hajime wig violent swings of his staff. Each swing created massive craters on the bare ground.
As the valient Reaper dodged each swing and countered each charge, he failed to notice the spectator on the battle field.
Atop the roof of the arch entrance to the prince's quarters, a dark presence was calmly observant. The figure had a generous female frame that the cloak she dawned failed to mask. With great satisfaction, she grinned, placing a hand on her cheek as she analysed each attack the Reaper dealt.
"Hmhm! I see, so this is the might of the illegitimate heir to house Floriene. I eagerly await the day we will clash... ..."
She turns away, a green flash of light piercing the crimson glow of the moon as her necklace fluttered around her neck.
On the other side of the prince's study room entrance, his manservants had gathered with the chief knight and his subordinates. With heavy armour that clanks so audibly and the smashing of their feet and battering ram against the door, they disturbed the peace of the night. They worried of the prince's assassination.
To tell the truth, Hajime had not planned this event from the start. In his mind, he wondered whether his revenge was going to come about fluently.
With heavy strikes and uninterrupted slashes, Hajime finall6 pushed the prince to a corner, wearing him thin in magic energy.
The battle seemed decided, Hajime preparing to deal a magic infused slash with his Mana manipulation and destruction magic combined.
System notification: "Mana manipulation and destruction magic has been used. Special condition triggered. Magic has evolved. New skill, Mana transmutation; The Hand of Darkness, obtained.
-The Hand of Darkness has been used... ..."
AAAARGH!!!
System notification:"MAGIC SKILL NULLIFIED!!!"
"Huh?!"
Hajime was shocked, his suprise slowly down his movements as he took a wack to the stomach from Prince Akion's staff.
In a broken, puppet-like voice, he activated a special attack.
"All-Shall-be-Mine!!!!"
A Gastly apparition materialized behind him. It was a balanced made of bone that exuded a terrifying aura. Hajime had to choice but to keep distance.
All-Shall-be-Mine:"A high tier attack of the scepter of reed. With-All-Shall-be-Mine, the wielder that declare any odds in his favor.
-The Dark Chronicles-
"Master!!! At this stage, stopping him won't be possible. A seven deadly sin, carries power equivalent to my second form, A form you haven't unleashed yet!!!"
The prince staggered upright, a deadpan tone in his voice as he pointed the staff at Hajime and declared his Mana skill nullified.
Status Window: "Outside interference beyond the control of the grand designer are at play, therefore, the user's skill, The Hand of Darkness, has been Nullified till further notice".
The guards had finally managed to smash the Mana barrier, heading into the study to arrest the assailant. The gapping hole in the wall of prince Akion's study left them shocked. They had assumed the worst, when they looked over into the courtyard to see The Reaper, standing by his lonesome.
Three minutes earlier... ...
"We have to stop him!!"
"But master, what if your plans?!!"
"You know what, I've been thinking of revenge so much that I failed to notice what was before me. I had a new start at life and a new family. But, I was still jell bent on justifying myself with vengeance. My father and my mother have been avenged... Now, it's time I focused on dealing with what stood in the way of my peace".
His Convictions had been dissolved, his reason for pursuing the death of his enemies made pointless. Now, he wanted to protect those he loved. He knew that the prince had to be taken care of, no matter the cost. With a sly grin, he activated The Blossoming of Demons!!
Shing!
The prince's head fell, the necklace on his neck falling as blood splattered everywhere.
