Year 1400 of the Imperial calendar - Shouyo continent - Lakeside

(Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel POV)

"Hah... hah" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

Running as fast as I could, I reach the only place I could feel safe in.

"This... is the other... side of the lake" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I regain a little of my breath and I drag my foot on the green grass.

"I am finally back" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I was about to jump in when...

"Kuh!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I spit blood and look at my stomach to see a blade coming out of it.

"Now you will never bother the saintess again" ???

I look back to see a man appearing out of thin air.

"The assasin... guild" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

What kind of saintess has connections with such an association?

"Be proud to die at the hands of the king of assassins" Saintess lover

He takes the blade out of me and slashes my back with it.

"...!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I am not able to even make a noise and fall forward on the surface of the lake.

"Bleed out to dead, villainess" Saintess lover

While the water is stained with my blood I can't think of anything else but...

"..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

At least I am at...

"...Home" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

...

......

..........

I open my eyes in a blue void.

"What is this place?" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

This place doesn't make any sense, but somehow I feel at peace here.

{Welcome home} ???

A dark silhouette resembling myself spoke to me at some distance.

{My name is...}

I know her.

"Shiva" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

I spoke over her and the dark silhouette walks closer to me.

{I am...} Shiva

"...a water spirit" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

We walk closer to each other.

{I represent...} Shiva

I feel a connection with her.

"The indifference" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

A connection stronger than anything else.

{We are...} Shiva

"The ultimate dissolver" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

We stop in front of each other.

"We were always meant to be..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel

We take each other hands.

{One} Shiva

...

The blood dispersed in the water flows back into my body.

"How are you still alive?!" Saintess lover

Every fluid inside his body flows out of his eye socket, nostrils, and mouth before he says another word.

"..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel?

(Alastor POV)

Besides the clouds, a dense fog surrounds the whole execution grounds.

"This is..." Alastor

Negating the daylight and creating an artificial night.

"Darkness and Spirit Power?" Alastor

Ifrit as a fire spirit is able to create light through a complex Electromagnetic control, so by that logic, only one kind of spirit is capable of doing the opposite.

"This must be the work of a Water Spirit" Alastor

The light itself is being swallowed by the water, creating a deep darkness similar to the clouds.

"...Disgusting" Awakened Isekai heroine

The now deep voice of the Saintess directs that word to the figure approaching this place from the clogged sky.

"..." Dark silhouette

A dark shadowed face that makes it impossible to see any expression.

Dark long hair without end that slowly seems to disappear in the air.

A dark blue dress with a slit on the right leg and a long train that ignores the currents of wind and sways to its own rhythm as if she were on the water.

The dark crescent moon on the center of her exposed thigh.

Everything on that being is showing an incredible harmony between Mana and Spirit Power.

"That mana... Is that the villainess?" Alastor

She is in complete synchrony with that Spirit!

"Saintess" Harmonized Villainess

His voice has a strange but harmonic echo.

"Villaness" Awakened Isekai heroine

The encounter of the fated enemies creates a disturbance in the surroundings, half of the flowers around us froze and some of the light animals around us drop to the ground devoured by the darkness.

"Your plot disturbances will be stopped" Awakened Isekai heroine

The six wings on the back of the heroine shine creating the mist around her.

"Nothing will stop me ever again" Harmonized Villainess

Countless dark tentacles grow from the back of the villainess and completely surround the Isekai heroine.

"I am the light of this world" Awakened Isekai heroine

Her words are strange as if they were carrying the will of someone else.

{Alastor}

Ifrit speaks to me telepathically.

[I know]

I jump close to the Vilainess to be engulfed in the darkness surrounding her as the Isekai heroine breaks free from the tentacles with her wings.

"...?" Awakened Isekai heroine

We disappear into the darkness, leaving the Isekai heroine with nothing to fight with.

...

......

Kilometers away from the Dancing Pink Petals City, the transformation of the Villaness wears out.

{She needs a place to rest} ???

In front of a transparent fish with fins on the sides that resemble wings, a voice different from Ifrit sounds in my head.

[Leave it to us]

It was amazing that she could do so much just after breaking from the system.

"..." Alastor

With the unconscious villainess in my arms, I look behind me at the city that is starting to get covered in the white of the cold snow.

{It seems they will have to change the name of the city}

No flower will ever grow again in that land.
