The climax of arc 5.

It changes from the first person (Fioria) to the third person.

This is a memory from my previous life.

A world without magic, a country called Japan.

I just lived normally and died normally.

At the company I worked at, I was known as the Queen of management. But in the end, I was just a cog in the machine.

I often had to deal with the unreasonable requests of my superiors. I remember being annoyed, powerless and just clenching my teeth.

In my previous life, I was just a normal person.

I was not just strong (light). I also had my weaknesses (darkness). Just a girl you can find anywhere.

But that’s why I think proudly of my life.

It is normal for a person to be born and show their power and their will.

The real value is when someone that is not like that, while filled with wounds, with countless failures, and even then still say “not yet” and stand up again.

My previous life was not someone who left her marks on history. But I can say for sure that it was a wonderful life.

No.

Not just me in my previous life.

Him, her, you as well. Those who are alive, everyone is equally a hero.

Holding the balance between light and evil and being swayed by the movements of the scale, you live out your life.

Humans are like that.

I understood it through my previous life.

Light and darkness are the same as front and back. Their brilliance should both be loved.

If that is so,

“Demon Sword, I approve of you. As a child of darkness, give your powers to me.”

To me, darkness is already not an enemy to be eradicated.

I am also a human being, so it was simple to follow the darkness.

See? I did it.

The Demon Sword finished reviving.

The terrible abyss-like blade, before she realized became a blade that was beautiful as the stars.

Holy blade in the left hand.

Demon blade in the right hand.

Unlimited plus and unlimited minus.

Of course on full power.

I will absolutely not go easy.

While chanting I release the two opposing powers.

Will you live, Fractal?

“Legend of Creation. The Goddess Blade of Genesis Dawn”

**

Light and darkness.

The twin torrents were like the flood that ended the world, it utterly crushed all of creation.

No.

There was tuning to it.

To light, the darkness went. To the darkness, the light went.

It neutralized Fractal’s attack, calmed it, and stabilized it.

Not just that.

It was like a miracle that healed the world.

Till now the barren earth that had surrounded the battlefield was covered by the gold and darkness. It slowly turned back into its original form.

A cool wind rustle by, beautiful grasslands.

The sky was not gold or dark, but a clear transparent blue.

The evil god Fractal slowly dropped to the ground.

His form was no longer a black dragon.

The one who holds both light and darkness. The neutral dragon of balance.

His body was covered in scales, a kind grey.

“You withstood my attack Fractal. Very good”

Fioria smiled.

She spread her wings and met with Fractal’s eyes.

She slowly reached out her hands and petted his head.

“Guh”

Filled with tiredness, he let out a relaxed moan.

His eyes were sleepy and narrowed his eyes. His body was slowly disappearing.

“The gods are prone to go towards either darkness or light.”

As if she was saying a lullaby, and told with a soft voice.

 “Fractal. You are now holding both light and darkness. That’s why you are no longer a god. I am sure you will be reborn as a human.”

“Guhhhhh”

Fractal groaned in anxiety.

“It’s ok” whispered Fioria and hugged Fractal’s head.

“Rather than being an observer, you should be having fun. This world has so many unexpected things, filled with so many things that should be loved.”

Even her tone was as if to comfort a spoiled younger brother who was about to depart.

And finally Fractal closed his eyes as if to sleep and he quietly disappeared.

“Once you grow up come play. When that time comes I will cook food for you.”

As if answering Fioria, the wind blew over the grasslands

**

On the hidden side of the world was not just the evil god Fractal.

“What the heck is that?”

An existence that was after the evil god.

The ruler of darkness.

 The top of the demons.

The demon king Desmal.

He saw the massive battle between Fioria and Fractal.

He was shown vividly right before his eyes.

“Fioria de Florence”

Shock.

Daze

In his state of trance, the thing was that leaked from his mouth was 

“What is that “thing”?”

Even now he could not understand.

“She’s messed up in the head, definitely.”

Originally the summoning of a god was supposed to fail.

But Fioria said “I am not happy winning like this” and when out of her way to summon the evil god.

“She’s reckless. It makes no bloody sense.”

Between the god and human, there was an absolute power difference that cannot be overcome.

There should have been a difference.

It is not something that can be overcome with will and spirit.

In spite of that, Fioria surpassed Fractal as if it was supposed to be this way.

“It’s messed up. How is it possible that a human can overtake a god”

Not only that, she has not just the holy sword but also the demon sword obeying her and fought a battle that was like from the legends.

He could not stop his trembling.

He broke out into a sweat.

He was scared to the point he wanted to vomit.

If it was himself who fought Fioria, what will happen in the end?

Surely he would be killed.

Like Fractal, he also has hope that he would awaken in his last moment.

“No way!”

He couldn’t become like that.

Before he could even imagine the possibility he was overcome with resignation.

The demon king’s will was completely broken.

An opponent that cannot even be defeated by the evil god, how would he win?

Impossible. Impossible. Impossible.

I don’t want to get involved with that thing.

I am the darkness. The kin of darkness.

I just want to live quietly in a place that cannot be reached by the light.

Overcome hardship? No way. I will live a lazy, easy-going, and with small happiness.

I won’t wish for more than that.

So please, overlook me.

“Yes, let’s leave it like this for now.”

Ahh, I am saved.

Please leave me like this as it is.

“One day you will stand up. I feel it. As a demon king for the demons.”

That day will never come.

No matter what happens I will never revive in the living world.

At the very least as long as Fioria lives…. Hm?

Wait.

Who have I been speaking to since now?

“I look forward to the day you challenge me, Desmal. Let us meet again.”

Let us meet again.

Those words of parting can be found anywhere.

But from that moment onwards to the demon king, the same as the words that announced his death.

After that, he became completely in fear of Fioria.

To overcome it, he will probably need a long time…
