Prolog

Trings!
"Princess! Run! Let me hold back the army of the kingdom of darkness!" Said a middle-aged man who was being fought with swords by soldiers dressed in jet black armor.
Trings!
"No! I can still survive uncle!" Replied a woman in a white robe who was called by the Princess, while dispelling a sword that was almost stabbing a middle-aged man.
"Can't! You must immediately go save yourself. Reinforcements would be arriving in thirty minutes. While I hold off their troops' attacks, take this opportunity to go princess."
Trings!
Jleb!
Trings!
Trings!
"They'll be arriving in thirty minutes right? We just need to buy time until reinforcements arrive." Said the princess with a smirk plastered on her face, then ran forward, brandishing her sword, and wielding the bodies of the black armored warriors.
'Yami, come quickly. If you don't get to see me one last time, don't blame me for being late.'
Trings!
Trings!
Meanwhile, in another place, in a forest, a man in a black robe kept running quickly over the branches of a tree with three men in white robes and hundreds of other white-armored soldiers.
The black-robed man stared intently at the forest scene in front of him while clenching his fingers tightly.
"What are the conditions on the battlefield?" Asked one of the white-robed men with blonde hair color to one of the white-armored warriors.
"There are still a hundred knight troops of the kingdom of light still fighting against the five hundred knight troops of the kingdom of darkness. Including princess Yumi who is fighting on the frontlines." replied a soldier that made the black robe man and the three white robe men startled.
"W-what? Yumi joins the fight?!" exclaimed one of the men in white robes with orange hair.
"R-right prince. The Princess insisted on joining the fight when she found out that the three hundred troops at the front had fallen." It was clearly a white-armored warrior just now.
"Hah, it's not Yumi if you don't force yourself to come along." Muttered another white-robed man with gray hair while letting out a long sigh.
"But make sure Yumi doesn't use any spells-
Tring!
The words of the man in white robes with blonde hair stopped when he saw a white light breaking through the orange evening clouds.
So did the black robed man, the two white robed men and the troop of soldiers.
"T-that isn't a forbidden spell?!" Exclaimed the man in white robes with gray hair, staring in disbelief at the white light in front of him.
"How bad are the conditions over there to have to use a forbidden spell?!" The white-robed man with blond hair growled, speeding up his run. So did the black-robed man and the others.

Tring!
Tring!
Tring!
The white-robed woman kept swinging her sword to block and stab the black-armored warriors without feeling the slightest bit tired. Because now is not the time for him to feel tired and sick. There have been many lives of the fallen soldiers of his kingdom.
"Indeed the shadow kingdom is not to be trifled with." The white-robed woman snarled at the black-armored warriors.
Tring!
Tring!
"You guys buy ten minutes for me to summon the seven of them." The white-robed woman exclaimed then ran backwards behind the troop of soldiers.
"Yumi! Are you crazy to summon them at a time like this?!" Snapped a white-robed man with red hair.
"There is no other choice Gin! I have to do this or we won't all be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive!"
The white-robed woman sat cross-legged and took out seven gemstones of different colors and placed them in front of her.
"Fine, I'll use a bit of my blood to revive you." muttered the white-robed woman then pointed the sharp edge of her sword at her left arm.
Srassh..
Thick blood was slowly seeping out of his arm. She slowly pointed her bleeding arm at the seven gemstones. Dripping his blood on one by one the seven gemstones.
After that, she began to close her eyes and chant the incantation that she had often used to summon the seven knights from gemstones.
"Arise the seven gemstone knights to protect the kingdom of light as well as this world from the pitch-black shadow of the kingdom of darkness. A bond is forged between you and your master, Ayumi Miyamoto to bring peace to this world and fight against the enemy of darkness!"
The white-robed woman swung her sword that had been smeared with her own blood to imprint it on the surface of the ground which was surrounded by seven gemstones.
Stap!
Jleb!
The white robed woman's two eyeballs widened in surprise when she felt a sharp object stab her body.
"Ha ha ha ha! How stupid would the soldiers of the kingdom of light be leaving the royal princess alone without protection!" The black robed man's disdainful laugh boomed as the soldiers of the kingdom of light and darkness turned their attention towards him.
Stares of disbelief and disbelief emanated from the entire army of soldiers of the kingdom of light when they saw their royal princess had been drawn by a sword belonging to a member of the kingdom of darkness.
"Yumiii!!!!!" Shouted a woman in white robes with purple hair color was about to run over but was stopped by a man in white robes with red hair who blocked her.
"Don't! That man is the third prince of the kingdom of darkness!"
Strings!
"Ouch. Uhukk.. Uhukk.." Liquid blood was so thick that it just came out of the mouth of a woman in a white robe, staining seven gemstones when the sword blade was forcibly pulled from her body.
Looking at the seven bloodstained gemstones that belonged to her, a grin appeared on her face.
"Hahaha, it seems you've dug your own grave." The white-robed woman's laughter boomed, making the black-robed man growl in annoyance.
Drag!
"You're dying and you can still brag huh? Sad!" Gretak the man in the black robe while strangling the neck of the woman in the white robe, lifting her off the ground.
"Not sad. Because victory is already in the hands of the kingdom of light." The white-robed woman replied staring intently at the black-robed man whose face was very, very similar to the face of the person she loved so much.
"Tch, stop your jokes! You will witness the victory of the kingdom of darkness from the afterlife!"
The black-robed man tightened his grip on the white-robed woman's neck even more.
"Of course I will witness the victory of the kingdom of light from the afterlife with a happy feeling."
"You!"
Strings!
An extremely dazzling white light suddenly appeared from the seven gemstones and the white robed woman's sword. A very, very dazzling white light glided through the orange evening clouds.
"If I die now, there will be no regrets at all." Said the white robed woman showing a sly grin on her face.
The black-robed man who was already extremely angry even tightened his grip on the white-robed woman's neck.
"Yumiiii!"
Strings!
Crashes!
Like a flash of light that happens so fast before the eyes. Now the body of the white-robed woman who was being strangled by the black-robed man was already in the arms of a red-robed man.
A faint smile appeared on the face of the woman in the white robe, staring at the stern face of the man in the red robe who was holding her.
"You're late Aka." muttered the white-robed woman while closing her eyes.
"Better late than never." Replied the man in the red robe walking up to the man in the blue robe.
"Ao, please look after this troublesome princess. I want to finish off the one-armed man over there."
A sharp gaze emanated from the red-robed man's two pupils at the black-robed man who was staring at himself no less sharply while holding the arm of his left hand that had been severed.
"Don't Akka! Let him return to his army." The white-robed woman said holding the red-robed man's arm.
"Is it because he's a member of the family of that stupid guy you love so much huh?!" The red-robed man jerked, brushed aside the white-robed woman's hand, making him wince in pain.
"Y-yumi." muttered the man in the red robe looking worriedly at the woman in the white robe who was in the arms of her colleague.
"We have to win the fight fairly, Aka. Let him return to his royal army and we shall defeat him in this battle."
The red-robed man stared in disbelief at the white-robed woman before him.
Now the eyes of the woman in the white robe were fixed on the man in the black robe. "Kuro, return to your royal army. We will continue this fight fairly."
The black-robed man sneered at the white-robed woman's words. Even so he agreed with what the woman said. In his current state of only having one arm, how could he face and fight against the seven knights who had come from nowhere.
In the twinkling of an eye the black robed man had disappeared and was now shifting places floating above the army of soldiers belonging to the kingdom of darkness.
"The entire army of the kingdom of darkness! Attack the army of the kingdom of light, leaving no one left!" The black robed man shouted an order to the soldiers of the kingdom of darkness.
The army of darkness returned to attack the soldiers of the kingdom of light who immediately held back and retaliated.
"Aka, Ao, Shiro, Gure, Orenji, Murasaki, Kiiro." The white-robed female summoned one by one the seven knights she summoned from the seven gemstones.
"The purpose I summoned you is to help the soldiers of the kingdom of light defeat the army of the kingdom of darkness."
A smirk crossed the red-robed man's face. "Does that include attacking the man you love princess?"
A small smile appeared on the pale face of the white-robed woman.
"No Akka. Except him."
A snort escaped from the red-robed man's mouth. "Alright, alright. I'm not going to bother that guy."
The man in the Orange robe walked up to the woman in the white robe. "Yumi, are you sure you can still use your power to channel energy to us?"
"Yes, I still have enough strength until this battle is over. Besides, the blood that I gave to you is quite a lot. So it won't drain me even more later." Said the white-robed woman with a wide smile on her pale face.
"Yumi.." Called the man in the red robe, staring intensely at the eyes of the woman in the white robe.
"No matter what happens, hold on until this battle is over. We will finish quickly, so hang in there."
A nod of the head was given by the white-robed woman. "Fine, I'll try to hold on."
The red-robed man's hand clenched tightly. "No matter what happens, never cut ties with the seven of us. If that happens, I will never want to talk to you again, neither in this life nor in the next."
The white-robed woman's hand reached out to cup the side of the red-robed man's face. "Yes, I will not break this bond."
The man in the red robe walked away. "Okay, we'll be right back. You rest while we battle them and bring victory."
The white-robed woman who was now sitting leaning against the ruins of the building had a small smile on her face. "I entrust everything to you. You can do it."
"Certainly! Come on everyone, let's move!" exclaimed the red-robed man who immediately dashed into the crowd, then was followed by the other five gemstone knights. Except for one of the white-robed knights who was still silent in front of the white-robed woman.
"Shiro, I entrust Aka to you. He will definitely be furious when I break ties with the seven of you and make Yami the next binder later." The white-robed woman said in a weak tone.
The gemstone knight in a white robe now positioned himself kneeling in front of a woman in a white robe. "Fine, leave everything to me, princess."
"Ouch. Huhkk. Cough." Blood was spit out again by the white-robed woman.
"This poison is very troublesome. I can't even heal him myself." The white-robed woman muttered staring at her palms stained with blood.
"I leave Aka to you, Shiro. But don't be too hard on him." Said the white-robed woman looking firmly at the white-robed knight in front of her and in response with a nod of her head.
"Fine, leave everything to me."
"Okay, you overtake them six."
The white-robed gemstone knight man immediately left leaving the white-robed woman who had closed her eyelids.
"Stupid Yami, come quickly."

"All soldiers immediately line up against the enemy!" Exclaimed a man in white robes with blond hair when he was at the border of the battle area.
"Lord! We found the princess lying unconscious at the-
Before one of the soldiers had finished saying his words, a black-robed man who had also just come immediately left just like that and entered the battle area.
"Let Yami protect Yumi! Our focus is fighting the kingdom of darkness and reconciling this world!" exclaimed the man in white robes with orange hair.
"Yossh!!!"
"Now it's time for us to advance, let the previous soldiers rest to heal themselves." The white robed man with gray hair said and the others agreed.
Meanwhile elsewhere. The man in black with his sharp eyes kept looking for the whereabouts of the woman he loved so much.
"Yumi!!!" The black-robed man exclaimed when he saw the figure of the woman he loved so much lying unconscious. Quickly the black robed man immediately ran towards the female figure.
"Yumi!" Called the man in the black robe when he was in front of the woman in the white robe that he loved so much that he was unconscious.
"Yumi, hold on!" Called the black-robed man again, while holding the white-robed woman's body into his arms.
"Yumi! Wake-" The black-robed man's words stopped when he saw a sword stab wound on the white-robed woman's body. A stab wound emitting black electric light. The black-robed man's breath was hunting. He knew very well who had done this to the woman he loved so much.
"Kuros!" The black robed man growled, staring intently at the area where the soldiers were fighting.
"Engh, Y-yami? I-is that y-you?" The muttered muttered woman in the white robe. She couldn't stand the pain that had been gnawing at her for so long. Not to mention the poison that had spread in her body, making her unable to heal himself.
"Y-yumi, thank goodness." The black-robed man immediately kissed the white-robed woman's forehead.
"S-stupid. W-why did you just come?" The white-robed women asked in a weak tone. She tried to raise her hand to touch the face of the man she loved so much.
The man in the black robe who saw it stretched out his hand to help the hand of the woman he loved touch her face. The hand that had been so warm now turned cold as ice.
"Ah, I'm annoyed that I can't feel your skin."
The black-robed man tightly gripped the white-robed woman's icy palm.
"Yami, you know I love you very much right? Sorry, I made you a traitor to the kingdom of darkness."
The man in the black robe brought his face closer to the face of the woman in the white robe, pressing his forehead against the forehead of the woman he loved so dearly.
"You're cold, Yumi. We're back in the tents now!" Said the black-robed man who was ready to carry the white-robed woman's body, but was stopped when the white-robed woman tightly gripped his arm.
"No, I don't have much time left. Please." Asked the woman in the white robe, staring at the two beads of the man in the black robe with tears.
"What did you say. You still have plenty of time Yumi!"
The white-robed woman shook her head weakly. "No. Yami, I'll soon be severing ties with the seven gemstone knights. I beg you, I will unite their bond with you."
The black-robed man shook his head decisively. "No! You are their owner! You can't cut ties with them Yumi!"
"I have to break ties with them, Yami. I don't want them to disappear when I'm no longer in this world."
"What are you talking about?! We're leaving now!"
The black-robed man immediately dashed towards the light empire's makeshift tent building.
"Yami!"
Cups!
"With this, Ayumi Miyamoto broke the bond with the seven gemstone knights and reunited the seven gemstone knights' bond with Yami, the second owner. Obey you seven jewel knights to Yami."
Strings!
The white-robed woman smiled happily, looking sincerely at the beady eyes of the black-robed man who was currently looking at her with a surprised look.
"I leave them to you Yami. I will always love you forever." Said the white-robed woman with a happy smile that didn't fade from her pale face before she closed her eyelids.
'Goodbye all.'
"Y-yumi. No!"
"Yumii!!!!"
Meanwhile in the war zone, Aka, Ao, Shiro, Gure. Orenji, Murasaki and Kiiro suddenly saw a red rope in front of them cut and followed by a voice echoing in their heads.
'With this Ayumi Miyamoto broke the bond with the seven gemstone knights and reunited the seven gemstone knight bonds with Yami, the second owner. Obey you seven jewel warriors to Yami.'
'Goodbye all.'
Trang!
The sword that was in Aka's hand suddenly slipped from his hand.
"No! Yumi!!" Aka exclaimed, about to run back to the woman in the white robe who was earlier. But quickly Shiro and Ao held Aka's arms.
"Don't be stupid Akka! We are fighting!" Shiro suddenly stared at Aka's beady eyes which seemed to emit various kinds of emotions.
"Correct! We have to keep our promise to Yumi!" Gure continued, who had brought Aka's sword.
"We must not waste Yumi's sacrifice and must win this fight."
Aka turned his head to Murasaki. "You guys are right. Somehow we have to win this battle!"
Ao, Shiro, Gure, Orenji and Murasaki glanced at each other with a smile etched on their faces, seeing Aka, who had now returned to attack the soldiers of the kingdom of darkness in such anarchy.
"Yumi! I assure you, we will meet in the next life!" Aka muttered with tears in his eyes and a smirk plastered on his face
