15 Chapter 15

"Miss Aqua, we need to do something!" Chris started to implore Aqua when even the infamous Swordmaster was thrown out of the fight.

"It's fine." Aqua said in a relaxed tone. She had decided to do what she did best and not worry about it.

The battle between Michael and Darkness went into the forest, not hidden from the spectators view. They could however, see multiple trees breaking and falling here and there, every few moments.

"He's your teammate, isn't he? You know him best, right?" Chris said urgently.

"That's right, so we should just let the kids fight it all out till they run out of energy." Said Aqua with a serene smile.

"Are you just being lazy and taking the easy way out right now?" Yunyun interjected with a shout.

"A duel between men is a sacred thing, Yunyun. It shouldn't be interrupted." Megumin added her "wisdom" with a nod.

"It's not between men, and you're just saying stuff that sounds cool, because you wanna keep watching the fight!" Yunyun said back.

Megumin clicked her tongue at being discovered.

Up on the wall, the guards, and spectators, watching the fight could see the destruction of the nearby forest, causing multiple trees to fall, changed from happening at random points, to a zigzag line. As if something was being dragged throughout the forest, going hitting every single tree on it's path.

Everyone tried to ignore how the shouts of pain coming forest were oddly sexual. Clearly it was the Crusader screaming in agony, as she tried to endure the merciless assault of the berserking Dark Paladin.

"Please Miss Aqua, do something--" Chris pleaded.

"Incoming." Schwanhild said as she noticed something being launched from the forest.

The sound of the object thrown at high speeds, coming closer and closer sounded oddly like a moan--

CRASH!

"AAAAAAAAAH HHMMMEEEHHHMMMM!" Darkness cried out as she slammed into the city wall hard enough to be embedded into it.

"D-Darkness! Darkness are you okay!?" Chris shouted up to her friend, stuck in the wall, relieved and yet horrified at her friend's situation.

"I. Am. GREEEAAAT!" Darkness said as she tried to pull herself out of the rock and concrete.

[INCOMING!] The Sword shouted.

Darkness blinked, looking forwarded, her eyes widened as she noticed something. An aura of energies exploded around her as she broke and jumped out of her hole in the wall. The guard on the wall ran away upon noticing something black and big coming.

An instant later a large object slammed at where the Insulting Sword was stuck in the wall, with a loud cracking boom followed from where the object had punched through the air.

It was Michael's sword.

Everyone below watching covered their ears at the sonic boom. The looked at the sword that was thrown all the way from the forest, now stabbed hilt deep into the wall.

A second later another object, a person this time slammed at where the sword in the wall was. It was Michael.

"Michael!" Aqua shouted. Beyond her and the Crimson Demon, they were the only ones happy to see him.

"Mr. Michael, can you please--" Chris started before Michael pulled his giant blade out of the wall, breaking a large piece of it, and jump down. His landing shook the ground a bit. It was mostly from the weight of the weapon he held. "Look, clearly fighting isn't working, can you please stop!?" Chris shouted.

"I'm sorry, Chris." Darkness spoke from a dozen or so meters away, her eyes only on the Dark Paladin. "But this fight, I can feel it, it's meant to be. Surely this is why I felt so...inspired to put all my Skill Points into defense. It was all for this moment."

"That's not the reason and you know it." Chris shouted.

[So you used oriental styles focused on swiftness and spirituality. You threw in street fighting and martial arts. You even used western styles focused on power. You mixed things up for counterattacking and being a stone wall.] The Sword narrated as Michael walked toward the Sword and Crusader with a calm murderous look. [There is only one way up from here. The only way you have left to beat us. Magic. Sword Ki. The powers that made the likes of Siegfried and Okita Souji transcend normal swordsmanship. Come on, Flop Creator bring it on, and we'll surpass you and everything you throw at us]

"That's right," Darkness held the Sword in front of her, and closed her eyes and focused.

"Oh come on!" Chris shouted, seemingly noticing something before anyone else.

The electric aura that the Sword uses engulfed Darkness. Darkness's Scared Smite engulfed the Sword. Then the holy aura around the sentient blade spread to Darkness and enveloped her. The holy and thunder aura danced around each other for a bit, before coalescing and fusing, becoming one.

"As I am now," Darkness opened her eyes as they glowed with the holy might of Eris

"Oh me, Darkness please stop." Chris covered her red face, muttering about how Darkness's inner heart prayers are embarrassing from how intense they are.

The aura of holy lightning surrounding her not only empowered her and her weapon, but would raise her speed and sharpen the Sword's edge.

"Whatever you throw at me and Master, we can take it." Darkness said with a serene smile. ...Which was ruined a moment later when she started panting. "So all your anger, your rage, give me more~. Throw it all at me~!" Darkness exclaimed.

Those present, watching in horror and awe, looked between Michael and Darkness wondering what will happen next.

Michael looked at the crown, then back at Darkness, then to the previously mostly green fields, then to the wall and the damage their fight--he--did to it.

Michael sighed...and raised his weapon.

Multiple people shouted and the greatsword spun throw the air, before landing right where the broken gate's door it was made from was.

"Yeah, I'm done." Michael said.

"What!?" Darkness shouted.

[What!?] The Sword shouted.

"Oh come on, it was getting good!" Aqua cried out.

"Yeah! Where's the epic finale!?" Megumin shouted.

"Megumin, shssssh, enough. Thank you, Michael. Please slave this peacefully." Yunyun spoke.

"Thank god, it's over." Chris sighed.

[H-Hey, you don't think this is seriously how it's gonna end, do you?]

Michael ignored the Sword and turned to Aqua.

"Aqua, remember when you imitated my voice?"

"Yeah?"

[Seriously, I'll, um, I'll take Darkness and go fight the Demon King or something. Yeah]

"M-Michael," Darkness sounded betrayed. "You're, you're not gonna end it here, are you? You're not gonna leave me like this, are you?" Said the thunder empowered holy knight.

"That's a spell, right? Can you cast it on everyone in the party?"

"Sure, All Mimic Voice!"

"Eh?" Yunyun spoke, only to hear Michael's voice form her mouth. "W-What is this? This is weird."

"Mwaahahaha, I'm the everlasting fire of destruction, the cry of war, tremble in fear." Megumin instantly adapted and started spouting "cool" sounding lines in Michael's voice.

"What the hell?" Shouted Heinz, holding his throat at this new voice.

"...I can so totally use this." Dust said under his breath, before seeing Michael stare at him, and he looked away and started whistling.

"Hmm, Ma~ Mo~ Ma~, this voice is surprisingly good for singing." Sedol said testing out his new voice.

"...This is silly." Schwanhild said to herself before looking at Megumin. "Behold, I'm violence incarnate. Bow before me." The Priest said under her breath, and smiled before shaking her head at the childishness.

"Okay, this is a thing. Why change our voices?" Chris asked.

"Because, I like the sound of my~ sexy voice." Said Aqua, also in Michael voice.

"Please don't do that again." Michael sighed, already knowing what rumors will result from what he's about to do.

[Seriously, Flop Creator is you don't fight us...No, no stop. You don't think something that simple will let you win do you. Darkness, cover your ears!]

"Um, okay?" Darkness tried to do that, but she couldn't manage it while holding the Sword.

"It doesn't matter if you know my plan, after all," Michael stared pointedly at Darkness, who stiffen at that look and the slight smile he had. A smile that had an edge that worried...and thrilled her. "This trash can never really follow direction correctly."

"Hmmmph!" Darkness moaned. "N-No, wait. M-Michael, you're not going to." Without her concentration, Darkness lost her aura of Sacred Smite and in turn the thunder aura connected to it shut down.

[Don't you dare you bastard!]

"All of you," Michael said to his party. "Start insulting her."

"W-what!?"

"No way, that's...we're not gonna do that!"

"Um, Michael, this is a bit..."

"Do it." Michael said with finality, then turned to Darkness who flinched, and looked back expectantly under his gaze. "I mean, seriously, I gave you a sword to train, and you make it sentient and control you, all because of your degeneracy. Honestly, that's just pathetic." Michael spat on the ground to his side.

[No! Stop! Don't listen to him. Only I get to tell you, you're pathetic]

"Hmmmph! No, no that's not...It's not that simple."

"That's right! We spend all this time and effort helping you and this is how you repay us." Darkness looked at Aqua. "Truly dogs that bite the hand that feed them need to be shot down. ...Or in your case, should it be neutered."

"Hmmmph!"

[Oh shut up, you Useless Goddess, like you are ever actually helpful!]

Before Aqua could respond, Michael raised a hand to stop her shouting back, and answered himself. "And yet, it's because of her that you're now losing." Michael smirked toward Darkness who squirmed under his look. "It looks like your control isn't as strong as you thought. Then again, this easy bitch would wave her tail for anyone that gave her attention, won't she?"

"Hmmmph!"

"All of you," Michael looked back at the party. "Don't you have grievances to air?"

There was a lot of reluctance, but one by one they started speaking.

"I'm sorry, Darkness." Chris sighed, before gathered her strength and looked up to her friend with determination. "But...you can be really annoying at times!"

"Hmmmph!" The words hit more because it was her friend saying this.

"Seriously, I know you can be strong-headed and stubborn, but don't you think swearing allegiance to a weapon is a bit too much. Are your vows to justice that weak, or are you looking for any excuse to break them!?"

"Hmmmph!"

[Oh shut up, flat chest!]

"Hey!" Chris shouted as she covered her chest.

"That's...that's right!" Heinz finally spoke, getting on board. "You were a pretty lousy swordswoman, but you needed to cheat with that blade to get any good? Are you that weak you need to depend on a handicap like that?"

"Hmmmph!"

[Like you're any better, you dumb bleach hair! I bet you're a shitty swordsman because all that bleach clogged up your brain]

"At least I earned my skill and didn't steal them!" Said Heinz.

"Hmmmph!"

"I can say whatever I want huh?" Said Dust, test this situation out, before he smirked. "I'm just saying this to help, okay? I'm just doing this to save Miss Darkness here, right? So given that...You know, rather than an object like that sword, how about I be the one to hold you in the reins and treat you like a pet. Surely you would want that, right? A guy can actually play with that lewd body of yours, better than some talking item can."

"HMMMPH!" Darkness shivered and hugged herself. "This is...even though its that slimy adventurer talking but..."

[Oi! This is my Pet you're talking to. Who the hell do you think you are, dickless?]

"Hey, who are you calling 'dickless' you piece of junk?"

While Dust and Sword argued, Michael spoke getting Darkness's attention.

"And there it is, that's how weak you are Darkness." Michael spoke, walking closer to the Crusader with the other party members doing the same behind him. "Brought low and under control by a few words."

"That's, that's not...I'm not weak." Darkness said, looking around her as the adventuring party slowly surrounded her.

"Isn't it? I used to admire you, Noble Crusader." Spoke Schwanhild.

"Hmmmph!"

"And yet, a blade that could do no more than talk brought you low. I looked up to you."

"Hmmmph!"

"But now," Schwanhild's disappointment and contempt sent a pleasent shock through Darkness's body. "I can't believe I wasted my respect on you. That I ever saw you as a role model."

"HMMMPH!"

"Th-That's right. ...You're mean!" Yunyun tried to help.

"Such trash needs to fall and burn along the wastes of this world. Down in the dirt where you belong." Megumin said theatrically.

"HMMMPH!"

And so the party, some with reluctance, some with hesitation, some with flair and some with enthusiasm, all insulted Darkness.

"Trash."

"HMMMPH!"

"Worthless."

"HMMMPH!"

"Wrong recycling."

"HMMMPH!"

All the while the Sword accidently was preoccupied with insulting Dust, that by the time he tried regain control, it was too late.

[No! You pathetic stupid fuck drunk Pet. You're suppose to only obey me!]

"HMMMPH!"

The Sword's words just added to the fray.

"Do you see now, Darkness?" Michael spoke in front of her. She looked up to him, having fallen on her knees at some point. "You never had any power. If I wanted to beat you I could have done so at any moment. I made that sword after all, everything that it taught that lewd body of yours, easy to mold mind, It got from me."

"HMMMPH!"

[Shut up! No! You can't steal her from me! Not like this!]

"So why don't you try out the real deal? Let go of that cheap copy and obey me," Michael held Darkness's chin, and smirked. The Crusader's body shivered with the height of ecstasy. Right on the brink. "And I'll show you just how far I can break you...Pet."

"AAAAAAAAAH!"

[YOU FUCKING COPY CAT!]

Darkness orgasms. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she fell to the ground knocked out by pleasure, finally letting go of the Sword.

"Yay~ We won!" Aqua cheered and pumped her fist in the air. The rest of the party shifted awkwardly, unsure of how to act. Except Dust, he just kept pointing at the Sword and laughing.

Michael took a step back, crossed one hand around his chest, and covered his face with the other.

"M-Michael, are you okay?" Asked Yunyun.

"No, no, I just...give me a moment. I feel dirty right now."

Finally, the battle to save the Crusader from the Sadist Sword had come to an end.
