The Road to One Day Be the Strongest

Even though it was a few years ago.

During my training with my dads, there was a time when I was worried about the energy drain.

- Energy drain.

Ability to suck up that opponent's status by touching them. But the more I use those statuses, the more I take away from them, the more I go back to my original owner, and eventually, it goes back to normal. That's the ability.

But I can't help but think that the ability still has a drawer.

'... Hey, Dad. Energy Drain. "

'Hmm? Oh, what's wrong with that cheat skill?

In response to the query, words used without having to think.

- Cheat skills.

I'm convinced of that word, that I haven't fully used this ability yet.

What the hell can you do with this skill? I feel like I'm going to need this skill somehow to go beyond what I said [wall] before... '

'Hmmm...... well, depending on how you use it, yeah. It's no exaggeration to say that I or Kronos struggled so hard to cross or break walls because I didn't have skills like Energy Drain. "

My father said, pinned his index finger and showed it to me.

"Look, Gin. Energy Drain is a cheat skill equal to the seven great sins [the crime of bulimia] and a lower compatibility of the [end (Dj Orus)] of chaos, depending on what you think '

"Nah... what!? That 's-"

'Yeah, the strongest skill a vampire can boast. That's the ability to have more specs than that power of the Heavenly Demons. "

Unexpectedly, he notices me listening, coughs up and corrects his posture.

But I don't think there's much I can do about it.

Anyway, they asked me if I was equal to the Seven Big Crimes skill I would lose all my other skills. It's weirder not to be excited.

But he looked at me like he was scared. [M]

'Did I tell you? Just think about it. The sin of bulimia is, if you will, the ability to “copy”. I basically can't take it away. Copy the other person's power to yourself as it is. Plus, I came to say I had to eat the other guy for that. Pretty hard to handle. "

On the other hand, Dad goes on.

'Energy Drain can [take away] the opponent's status just by touching it. Well, if it was moving, its status would be back, too, but I can eat it and copy it for the first time [sin of bulimia] and I can take it away just by touching it [energy drain]. It depends on the way you think, but you can say they're both just as good and inferior'

Sure, if you say so, maybe so.

Just touch it and I can take it away.

What if, in the middle of a battle, you can always activate the energy drain while you are touching it, both when you hit it and when you are beaten in a strike battle?

"Energy drain, it activates, it drains so much..."

'Ha, there can't be that convenient skill, can there?

What an honest argument, I see no room for objection.

As I accidentally dropped my shoulders, my father's, serious voice sounded.

'But, you know, that's not the true price of the energy drain. That's just a strong skill if that's all. But energy drain is, if you say so, a transgressive skill. "

"The Unruly Class...?

Father nodded deeply at the words he accidentally murmured.

There are deep wrinkles on the root of the brow. When Dad sighed small as he rubbed it loose.

"The True Price of Energy Drain. It's an energy drain that eats up its very existence, which it does when it sucks blood. '

- Eat up the very existence...?

Unexpectedly, I couldn't return the words.

But listening to my father afterwards, in the opposite sense of the word, will make me angry.

"Blood-sucking energy drain is the strongest ability to eat the other person's existence and completely make my power... You know what? The energy drain on the bloodsucker has to pick the right person to go. Let's say your attribute now is [Shadow] or [Darkness]. If you eat the presence of [Yang] or [Flame], which, for better or worse, is unworthy, with a blood-sucking energy drain - '

Dad exhaled heavily.

Turn your thin, narrow gaze towards me. [M]

"Silver. Do you weaken - or die"

- That's what they said, I remember well.

Open the lid that was closed.

Until now, there is no burn pain running through the body.

Put your gaze down and my body will be dressed in a black suit with a border vertically. Surrounded by a space of recognisable Ur, there was a Ur sitting in front of the grand piano in the corner of his sight and a figure of Chloe stroking on his lap.

No scratches, no tiredness, to say I'm here this way.

……

I feel a painful gaze from the front and move my gaze.

It was Apollon who was there - fighting until earlier. Dressed in a black suit with an orange embroidery, my orange eyes look at me.

The hair, which was white, was back the same color as the previous sun, and nothing would have changed from the previous Apollon if it had just appeared.

- Only, if it just looks like it.

"... energy drain, you used it"

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I let you kill me again"

"…… yes"

What I did was - the murder of Apollon.

I devoured every power of chaos in her existence, and killed her. I killed him and rescued him. I wonder if she's here because her power was integrated into me by the energy drain, the vessel, the soul.

That's all she says, after a while of silence.

"... you, you know what an energy drain is?

"If you eat a being with the opposite attribute, if the opponent is weaker, it weakens, and if the opponent is stronger, the opposite is eaten up and you die, a problematic anomaly skill, right?

Because I knew that, I was ready.

Because if you make a mistake, death will be confirmed.

I mean, I'm still thrilled on the inside. Maybe I'm dead. [M] Isn't this the post-mortem world, etc.

When I lay my shoulders down and told him so, Apollon silenced again.

The next silence was much longer and heavier than earlier. Unexpectedly swallows gokuri and saliva, and a cold sweat drips down his cheeks.

... I knew you didn't like this way of saving me?

"Just one thing, can I ask you?

Two, her voice hits her in the ear.

When she snorted, she stared into my eyes.

"Why did you help me when you knew you could die?

I laughed and answered that clear question.

- Burning (Vermillion).

The third stage - burning everything down, the golden 'final'.

Chaos was turning his gaze toward the center, solidifying his guard with both arms without experiencing a flaming flame.

"Ku......, I didn't know that was coming - duh"

I had no idea.

No way - I can't believe you use energy drain with blood sucking.

That would be suicide if you made a mistake.

For example, if the [flame] eats the [water] one, it will undoubtedly weaken first, and if the [water] one is better - the user collapses his own flesh by the presence he takes in.

And that's the same thing with [Shadow] and [Yang].

"Suicide... is it"

If I take it that way, I certainly have no problem with 'not being killed by others' in 'The King's Quality'.

But it's hard to imagine a man who said he'd save Apollon by that much, more so than he'd fall for Apollon.

Then what the hell...?

So much for chaos.

Second, it came to one possibility.

Nor is it the ability to swallow all concepts like yourself and convert them into energy and turn them into your own power.

Like Belzebub, I'm not really capable of copying as much as I like as long as I can actually eat it

True price is the energy drain that can be called a defect. Strong is strong, but too user-friendly.

- But it is.

What if the opposite attribute - that too - could have eaten up something of utter power with a blood-sucking energy drain?

- It can't be possible. It is true that if such a thing can be done, it will not weaken, and vice versa, it will be fortified. But it's impossible.

Same size, that doesn't mean it's just as strong.

It has to be exactly the same strength from what to what.

I still come to the same conclusion no matter how many times I think about it. It can't be possible.

But on the cheeks of chaos - a cold sweat was telling.

"... mama,"

Unexpectedly, my voice leaked.

At the end of his gaze is a gradually disappearing golden flame.

You can't be alive.

Even if he was alive, all that remains there is the rest of the cusp just before it burns out.

So I don't understand why I'm in such a hurry.

- No, I don't want to understand.

"Why did you help?"

My voice struck me in the ear of chaos.

He opens his eyes and stares into the flames that disappear.

"The answer is simple and clear. Because I wanted to help."

More than in flames, the shadow enters thin sight.

The shadow is just sitting on the spot saying there is nothing wrong with it, and the sweat that transmitted the cheeks of chaos drips down to the earth.

"Still, if you ask me why I did this rescue,"

And the man who emerged from behind it.

"Because I believed in my friends."

As soon as I saw that appearance - chaos perceived everything.

First of all, he looked different.

Dark, pitch-black hair is slightly reddish like a burning flame, and bright red flaming aura abounds from her crimson eyes.

The ever-darkness robe, which should have burned, had been repaired by flames and had turned into a bright red robe with flaming hems and sleeve ends.

"... Phew"

Exhale loudly and calm your mind.

I don't want to believe it. Because I can't believe it.

But there is no room for such willingness anywhere at the earliest.

Whatever. That man right now - he's strong.

"... Finally, you seem to have reached (...)"

"Oh, looks like it"

From the man, I can't feel the earliest understatement.

What I can feel is - the style of 'enemy' enough to be vigilant.

(by eating friends - over the wall, executor)

Unexpectedly, I feel the edge of my mouth hanging.

After all, he said he was right.

After all, this man said he was a delicacy that could be shouldered by himself.

Joy was greater than fear and vigilance.

"Fine, now you're a strong enough enemy for me to deal with."

Say, a tremendous amount of magic blew out of the body of chaos.

Ginn looked down at it against her left hand, wondering.

Grip, open, grip again.

Honestly, he wasn't sure he could use that power yet. Anyway, it's the top ability of the opposite attribute. Conversely, if I could have used it on the spot - I wouldn't have had her position.

'You have no choice..., now I'm here to support you!

Behind his brain, a nostalgic voice sounds.

"... what? You're in a strange mood."

'Oh, that's not true... I still can't completely forgive you for Gin, and I resent you for not coming to help me...'

- But.

She went on like that, I'm sure with a full grin.

'But, you know, Gin says he cares about me because he's passed it on enough. So if you're going to spoil me a lot later, I'm going to flush you down to the water on this one.'

In a nostalgic tone, I inadvertently loosen my mouth and laugh.

"Oh, when this is over, I'll spoil it until you're tired of it."

'Right, let's play a lot!

From his body - a blue flame blows up.

In flames (Vermillion), the first stage - the beginning.

But its power was several steps higher than when Apollon was using it, and he lowered his gaze to the one ring that was nestled in his left hand finger.

- Nine-tailed ring.

A fortified item given by Kyouo that specializes only in flame lineage.

"Next time I'm in Kuse, I'll thank you."

Say, he stares at the chaos.

The intimidation emanating from that body belongs to a strong man incomparable to him a few hours earlier at the earliest.

Beyond the wall - it belongs to the arrivals.

"Well, chaos. I'm sorry I took so much time."

Niyally, hoisted up the edge of his mouth, he pokes his tightly clenched fist toward chaos.

"Come on, now. Final showdown."
