Chapter 15 - Chapter 3 (part 4)

For them it is proven why Hikari became a king of that world. He is really strong. Once saved that world from destruction and brought peace to that world.

(flashback ends)

Hikari then asks them, "Oh, you two are going to buy something?" What if I buy it for you two as a thanks for being with Mika?" Koyama and Kazuki refuse it at first. But when they looked at their money, they then just accepted the offer and thanked Hikari for that.

Koyama takes an item that he can use to polish his weapon, and Kazuki buys a stone that he can use to sharpen his weapon. When Hikari looked at what they wanted to buy, he just smiled as they paid for it. Hikari then leaves, and just when he is about to leave. Suddenly the ground grumbled.

Everyone then begins to worry. Hikari then uses his ability to fly to watch the surroundings.

When he was watching, he saw a portal appear. That portal looks different than a portal that he used to see and create before. Is it a person from another world? Or is it just his imagination?

Suddenly Hikari saw two figures, one a guy with an afro and the other a muscular guy. When Hikari saw that person, he then just watched them from afar to see what they're going to do before he acted.

Both of them walked outside, and another two people appeared at their back. All four of them walked out of the portal and began to look around.

Hikari saw that all of them were armed, so he then flew towards them.

Hikari drops in front of the four people; he holds out his sword as he sees all of them are armed.

Hikari asks them,

"Who are you?" Why did you come here?"

The person with an Afro hairstyle goes to Hikari. Hikari saw his right hand was made of metal, which was similar to his left arm. Hikari has never seen that before. But it just reminds him of Mizure weapon.

That person then says,

"I'm here to find the lost power of this world. I want to have it and use it to save the world."

Hikari then just couldn't understand what was happening there. Because they never got any threat all this time. There might be a misunderstanding here.

Hikari then asks them if there is someone who ordered them to do so, and if there is, he wants to meet that person.

The person with the Afro hair then introduced himself.

"You can call me Professor. I came to this world. Because I want to do research in this world. I heard about a herald's power."

When Hikari heard about 'Herald' he really didn't get it at all. Because this is the first time he ever heard it. He then asks Professor more about this Herald.

"Herald's? But we don't have it in this world. Maybe there is just a miscommunication here. Are you really sure this is the place?"

As Professor heard that, he then took out his device and showed Hikari a message that he received on his phone.

"050.040.10.170

8.2.44

Attention to all citizens of this world. We have found a miracle power in this world, and we will fight to get it. We will steal the artifact and save the world from the corruption.

I have sent you a location of this place below. And we will all strike at this place with all of ours. Because if we don't, then they will use this holy power of this holy land to destroy everything in our world."

Hikari saw something was attached to the message, but Professor didn't open it, and Hikari didn't ask for anything, and he then convinced them to go because there has never been anything like that in this world. It might be false information.

When the professor looked at it, he then wondered if Hikari was right. He remembered that all six worlds had been combined into one. Maybe the world he is in now is just the same world as his world.

The portal device that he created could help him go everywhere he wants to go. So maybe that was true.

He looked around and then asked Hikari, "Is this world related to the dark world?" Or is it just a normal world?" When Hikari heard the professor mention the Dark World, he then looked at the professor and asked.

"How did you know that world?" Are you from there?"

Professor shook his head and said that the Dark World was the world that once attacked their place and wanted to conquer it. But luckily, with all of their strength, they were able to save their place from the attack. The attacks from the Dark World are cruel. They're attacking them with everything that they got. Even after destroying the Dark World several times, it seems like the Dark World keeps on reviving. Until their 3rd attack on the Dark World, where they finally wiped the world up and left in peace until they received this news.

The professor then looked at his teammates.

"Veget, Sutovi, Daburu, Trail. Maybe we should return to our world. Maybe my portal will just teleport us to a random place again. It has been a long time since we last used it anyway."

Stuvi, Daburu, and Trail agreed on it. But Veget then goes to Hikari with his sword, and he then asks Hikari in curiosity.

"If that is true. Then what brings you here? How did you just come to us without any reason? Are you hiding something from us?"

Veget attacked Hikari, but Hikari blocked it using his left arm, which is formed as a sword.

Hikari tells Veget that he didn't hide anything from them. Plus there's nothing that they could get there. Hikari also knows about the Dark World, and they also once fought with the Dark World. They're the enemy of the Dark World, the same as Professor and the others.

Veget then didn't believe it, but he just let his weapon down when the professor told him to do so.

So they all then looked at a device in the professor's hand.

When they're looking at it, the device is beeping when it is shown towards Hikari. It seems like the devices are attracted to the power from Hikari.

What is happening there? Is Hikari really hiding something from them? Professor didn't want to just get into the conclusion on where Hikari did hide something from them. That he then looked at Hikari and asked him if he was really honest about what he said.

Hikari nods and tells them that there is nothing that he hides from them. But it just makes them curious, and out of that, they then go and attack Hikari.

Veget and Trail take out their swords and attack Hikari.

Both of their swords hit Hikari, but they just stopped where they touched Hikari. It didn't go through his body, and they feel like they're hitting metal.

They both then stepped back and got in their ready stance. Professor and Sutovi also get into their ready stance.

Hikari then looked at them, and it seemed like he had no choice but to fight them. Maybe the misunderstanding there will just lead them into a fight because none of them believe each other, and there is also no proof to trust any side.

Hikari then took out his sword that was formed by mana from his body, and he then challenged them.

"A 5v1 battle, huh? I didn't think that I should fight you. But if it is what you begin, then I will end it."

(Aikari Situation)

They're all waiting for Hikari, but suddenly they hear a loud explosion that causes all of them to be startled by that. Aikari then quickly gets the carriage to the safe place and runs towards the way that explosion happened, as he thinks that Hikari might be there.

Hirumi and Arithia stopped him from going, but Aikari just ignored them and ran towards the explosion.

When Hirumi looked at Aikari, she then didn't move and waited while saying, "Well that just how stubborn he is." Always like that. All alone." When Arithia heard that, she then giggled and said that it was the same as Hikari.

Hirumi then walked out of the carriage with Arithia while looking towards the way Aikari went.

Arithia then asks Hirumi if Aikari is always like that. Hirumi then just nods, and he tells Arithia that maybe Hikari and Aikari have a lot of similarities to each other. Maybe it was fate that brought all of them here. Maybe there is really a reason why all of them are there.

Arithia then asks Hirumi,

"What kind of world did you want?" Sorry for asking this, but it just came to my mind just now…"

Arithia giggled softly and smiled at Hirumi. She didn't think that Hirumi would answer that, but just as she was trying to turn around, she then saw Hirumi smile and look at her palm.

As Hirumi did so, she then told Arithia.

"Everything that I want is a world where everyone could live in happiness and smiles. That was the kind of world that I wanted. But I understand that to reach that peace, we might fight each other, kill each other. To find the answer. About which is right and which is wrong. But I hope that we will all find the true answer and end the conflict."

Arithia was a bit shocked by Hirumi's answer. But she did agree on that. Their goals are the same. But Arithia just wonders what kind of story they have been through to reach that peace.

(Hikari Situation)

Hikari changed his weapon into a bow and charged an energy that became a bow.

He then shot it at Veget.

It exploded, and Veget got injured by it.

Veget tried to transform using his energy, but it failed as Hikari's ability jammed it. All of his energy got absorbed into Hikari's body.

At the same time, Professor saw a chance, and his arm then turned into a cannon. He aimed it at Hikari and then shot the cannon.

"Take this!"

Hikari was so shocked as he saw that, but it was too late for him to block it.

"Crap!"

A massive explosion then happened, and the area was filled with the dust from the explosion.

When all of them saw that, they then thought that they maybe had defeated Hikari, and they began to cheer up.

But suddenly they saw a glowing white light, and that light formed something.

The light then formed a sword, and they then saw it slash towards them. Which makes all of that dust disappear.

They then saw Hikari was still standing without any damage from their attack. But his clothes got damaged.

But as they're looking at Hikari surviving it, they then begin to get ready to fight with Hikari again.

They saw that Hikari regenerated a destroyed part of his clothes and then struck at them.

He dashed towards them and gave Veget a strike.

Veget got stabbed with his sword, and his sword then shone and changed into a spear, and Hikari threw it at the professor.

The professor got stabbed by it, and blood came out of his mouth.

Hikari then created another weapon, which is a heavy sword, and gave Sutovi a really hard downward slash.

Sutovi blocked it with his weapon, but his weapon was easily broken by that attack. Which makes him get hit by it. Sutovi body got paralyzed by it, and as Daburu tried to attack Hikari, suddenly Hikari changed his weapon into a bow and shot one arrow towards him.

But he could see multiple arrows coming towards him and was afraid of them, and they caused him to get hit by that bow.

Now that all Professor, Veget, Sutovi, and Daburu, are down, it just leaves Trail there.

Trail then wants to fight Hikari, but Professor uses his injured arm to open a portal that teleports them somewhere else.

When all of them disappeared, Hikari then sighed in gladness. But he still wonders why they come here.

He then found a device that was left by the professor and picked it up.

"What is this?"

It looks like a remote with an antenna and a digital compass. When Hikari began to look at it more, Aikari then appeared and asked him if everything was alright.

Hikari nods and says that everything is alright. He then shows the device to Aikari.

Aikari looked at it, and he was so shocked to see that kind of device exist in this world. Aikari then takes a closer look at it, and he begins to wonder what this means.

Is there another thing coming? Or is it just his feeling?
