"LOUIS DIED!" suddenly shouted Don while the 9 other reincarnates were currently inside the room with 10 seats all around a table.
"What!?" shouted the other 8 as they all stood up with shocked eyes.
"Not only that, we have no way of reviving him, just watch the footage I manage to recover from the spell I inscribed to his soul," said Don as a floating screen appeared in front of all of them to show the recent events that happened.
"W- wait, Louis died before?" suddenly said Flare as they listened to the conversation playing out.
"I'll explain later, what do you think we should do? Louis is an integral part of our team and if we lose another magic user, our combat prowess is going to be lowered drastically" said Don as everyone sat down with grave eyes.
"Okay, does anyone know who the guy is who killed Louis?" said Kilt with a calm voice as they weren't inexperienced newbies, they were reincarnates.
"No" responded the eight as Kilt sighed while rubbing his forehead.
"Okay, we'll first stay with each other for the following days and try to find info in regards to that person," said Kilt as the eight nodded in agreement and started to inspect the video thoroughly.
"Wait, how is he able to use magic like that?" said Roro as they saw his magic that is similar to that of Louis.
"Not only that, he was able to dispel all of Louis' runes," said Kyouma as he pointed at the moment Louis' clothes shone in red light and that was the moment of his downfall.
"But what did he say when Louis' asked if he revived him?" asked Flare with a raised eyebrow until a chill suddenly went up all of their spines the moment Flare asked that question.
"Mage… Kira… KIRA!" suddenly shouted Kyouma as without hesitation, he suddenly grabbed the unsuspecting Anastasia's head and with a single tug, it was ripped off from the spine down which took everyone into a shocked state.
"K- Kyouma! What are you doing?!" shouted Kilt as he unsheathed two of his swords and instantly appeared behind Kyouma and swung his sword towards Kyouma's neck.
"FUCK OFF! I'M SAVING THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!" shouted Kyouma as draconic scales spew out his body that blocked Kilt's strike with ease and with one mental command, a rifle appeared in his hand along with rapid chants spewing out his mouth which made everyone else's eyes widen.
Soon, the chant ended in just a second, and out came bullets that shot toward Imerda, Shijou, Flare, and Don as all of them died except for Don who blocked the bullet with a single barrier spell.
"Kyouma! Are you being mind-controlled right now?!" shouted Don as black chains grasped all of Kyouma's body which made him stop in his tracks.
"Kilt! I order you to kill Don!" shouted Kyouma as charisma suddenly spew out of his body that from his figure alone, Kilt's mind was instantly put under Kyouma's control, and without hesitation, he disappeared from Don's view and before he can process what was happening, Don felt his soul being stabbed by Kilt and just like that, Don was dead.
With a single snap, all of the chains around Kyouma disappeared without a trace as only Honda was left there with shaking legs.
"W- who are you!" shouted Honda as his legs shook in fear but he still roared in defiance which shows bravery befitting those of heroes.
"Don't worry Honda, I don't need to kill you" said Kyouma as his body soon exude the pressure of death along with his eyes gaining a soul-fire glow similar to that of Don.
Soon, with horror fille eyes, Honda watched Kilt give one of his swords to Kyouma who instantly pierced it through Kilt's brain, killing him in an instant, and with that, Kyouma's aura became stronger than ever before which made Honda's legs quiver harder.
'S- shit! I need to loop!' thought Honda as he tried to grab a piece of wood to stab his head with but his body came to a halt on its own as if it was paralyzed.
"You don't need to loop Honda, this might be the end of the world as we know it," said Kyouma with a cold gaze as they all heard a loud roar coming from the distance that shook the earth around them along with the windows around them shattering as they saw dark clouds appearing in the distance.
"W- what is that?" said Honda with bated breaths from the thunder clouds appearing in the distance.
"The little witch succeeded, she was able to release Bahamut, the world-ending beast to this world once more," said Kyouma as another loud roar was heard from hundreds of kilometers away.
"B- Bahamut!" said Honda in shock as they suddenly saw the silhouette of a gigantic dragon in the distance with demonic horns and fiery eyes.
"Shit! Kira is aiming to get the beast under its control!" suddenly shouted Kyouma as he saw the silhouette of "him" in the distance flying towards the dragon with Lute and the Witch being nowhere in sight.
With a single mental command, he activated a spell to teleport in front of Kira who looks at him in surprise.
"Oh ho, well hello there Kyouma!" said Kira with a jolly smile as he halted his flying to greet Kyouma.
"So… the experiment did succeed," said Kyouma with an impressed smile as a black sword appeared in his right hand.
"Indeed, but a final fight needs to be fair right?" said Kira as Kyouma nodded and let Kira fly towards Bahamut.
And as he watched Bahamut more closely, he noticed the Witch was embedded into the chest of the beast along with Lute being on the head, so they made a literal mecha dragon huh, how hilarious, thought Kyouma with a chuckle.
As Kira floated towards the head of the beast with a calm smile, both the Witch and Lute suddenly died with a single flick of Kira's finger, and just like that, their supposed final goodbye with Mister K was ended just like that, showing how horrid reality is.
But both Kyouma and Kira still wore calm smiles with Kira instantly teleporting to the head of the beast and entering the place where Lute was previously residing and the moment he did, he felt his mind connecting to the great beast.
"ROAR!" bellowed the beast with a monstrous voice that shook the earth around them producing cracks and lava spewing out of the ground from the pressure the beast produced.
"LET'S DO THIS!" shouted Kyouma as his body started to change form to be a gigantic draconic beast with multiple heads and soon, both dragons flapped their monstrous wings that brought tornados and storms to the forbidden forest they were currently in.
"GAO!" shouted the multiple heads of Kyouma as multiple beams of the elements spew out of his multiple mouths towards Kira who responded by controlling the beams and redirecting them towards Kyouma who just morphed his body to this slime-like form to swallow the beams directly without damaging himself.
With the beams now swallowed, multiple gigantic cannons appeared behind the beast that floated in the air as mana funneled into them and in a split second, destructive beams of mana shot towards Kira who just tanked through the attack without a hitch, and no marks were even left.
"Oh? To think you can already inscribe runes to the body of Bahamut, well…. Let's get serious shall we!" roared Kyouma as his body rapidly expanded to tower over Kira as he became a few hundred meters tall.
"GAO!" shouted Kira as his Bahamuth body also expanded to be about the same size as Kyouma's gigantic body and soon, the two gigantic beasts tackled each other with Kyouma using his cheats to his advantage while Kira used his monstrous body to just ignore Kyouma's attacks and soon, they landed in the continent of demons.
With both dragons the size of mountains flying through the world, destruction was brought upon the continent without mercy leaving the place in ruins as the Demon King looks at the two beings in shock.
He was just about to also attack the reincarnates in the kingdom as his Seven Deadly Sins has been working hard but they are just there… lying in front of him with their dead mangled corpse as they protected him from one of the attacks of the monstrous nine-headed dragon.
"RAH!" shouted the Demon King with enraged eyes as he uses his SSS rank body to attack the two dragons with his Demonic Sword imbued with souls of millions but just the moment he swung it to the tail of Kira, it just got stuck on one of the scales leaving him wide-eyed.
"ROAR!" shouted Kira as he swung his tail towards Kyouma who responded by summoning a monstrous arm the size of mountains to grasp the tail shooting towards it while the Demon King died in the process.
"Tch, this is going nowhere! You want to end this with a bang?" asked Kira as Kyouma nodded with a monstrous grin on each of his faces.
"ROAR!" roared the two beasts as an explosion of light came out of the two and came two humanoid beings of pure black and white color with space-time bending around the two.
With a swing of their hands, cracks in space-time appeared all around the world which is minuscule compared to the vast universe they were inside in.
As constant flickering appeared, they teleported all around the universe in stopped time with hundreds upon hundreds of worlds being destroyed in their wake by two incomprehensible beings fighting for no apparent reason.
"Wait, why are we fighting in the first place" muttered Kira as they stopped in their tracks in the black void of the universe.
"Well we already terrorized the universe so why not?" said Kyouma as both nodded in agreement and riled up their powers once more.
As they fought for control over each other, the two fought with sheer might rivaling those of mythological Gods who controlled Heaven and Earth.
With unrivaled might, fissures of space colliding with fissures of time constantly clashed each other as mystical representations of space-time have been achieved by the two like the both of them controlling a river of time and fabrics of space.
As both used all of their powers to their fullest might, countless parallel universes died in their wake for their dominance over each other.
They could just go grab some cheats but both knew this is a battle of mastery over their true power, their control over Space and Time.
As principles and laws of space-time spewed out of our body, any lucky being would reach a level beyond mortals if they were able to even gain a glimpse of understanding from our fight but sadly, we are moving in stopped time so no one will benefit from our fight, and even if they did, they'd die from how beyond our understanding is compared to anyone else below the level of a God of Space-Time.
With us moving at speeds that will make even the Flash jealous, each of our blows produced enough energy to destroy universes, and as we continued our fight for an unknown amount of time, we started to notice how the fabrics of time and space in this set of universes are starting to get permanently damaged if we don't stop now and we might lose a valuable universe that we will never be able to explore in the future.
So with a glance towards each other, we nodded and charged up all of our power for one final blow that isn't even a blow, it is just us trying to gain the upper hand in space-time.
And with that, we let out our concentrated attack of space and time on each other, we both died at the same time as our consciousness faded away into nothingness.
Just like that, the adventure of Rintarou in the universe not that explored due to a sudden time skip and insane plot is now finished while a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in the dark void where the two fought with an equal amount of black and white in its body that is perfect compared to those of Kyouma and Kira.
And with that, the arc has finally come to a close and everything done, the next volume of Rintarou's wacky adventures is now starting with Vol3!
AN: This is 2102 words, you're welcome.
Okay, I know it was rush and its kinda shit but I promise you, Vol3 would be worth it and you know what, I'm doing you a fucking favor because this might have been dropped if I didn't rush to Vol3 (TGOH might also receive the same treatment to reach Vol2 fast because Vol1 is too boring to write, unlike IR Vol3 with its vast potential).
The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
