Chapter 37: Chapter 37
"Agreed. I can\'t sit by and watch while the void attacks the place I grew up in," Yumeko said.
"Then I guess that\'s settled. We fight the void. Everyone, prepare for battle," Kaze said as everyone nodded.
"We will split into teams. Kira, Aria, Jiro, Layla, and Akina, you five are a team. Daiyu, Natsumi, and Kaito are another. Sky and Yumeko are the third," Kaze explained.
"A Loser team for Losers. What a perfect match," Kira mocked.
"Don\'t say that about my friend," Yumeko retorted.
"Enough Yumeko, Kira, can\'t you see we are at war," Kaze yelled.
"My apologies," Kira said.
"Daiyu, Natsumi, and Kaito. You three are in charge of taking care of void beasts. If you see a dragon, retreat and call us," Kaze ordered.
"Kira, Aria, Jiro, Layla, you will take on the Void monsters," Kaze commanded.
"Sky and Yumeko, both of you will take on the Sentient Void Monsters," Kaze said.
"Dad, why would you give the bastard and the son of two powerless such an important mission," Kira yelled.
"Shut up. If I hear you disrespect your sister, I will personally throw you into the void," Kaze yelled as Kira stayed quiet.
\'I will make sure she pays for this,\' Kira thought.
"Dad, can you really trust the boy born from a whore with our future?" Kira said.
"Shut up," Jiro and Yumeko yelled.
"Sky is a kind and strong guy. He has a pure heart, and I can feel that he is meant for great things," Yumeko said.
"Hmph, whatever you say, sister," Kira said and flew off. His team followed him.
"Sorry about my son," Kaze apologized.
"Don\'t worry, father," Yumeko said.
"Ok, guys, you two must be careful. Those sentient void monsters are extremely strong," Kaze said.
"We will, Lord Kaze," Sky said.
"Please don\'t call me that," Kaze said.
"Yes, Wind God," Sky said, and they flew off.
Sky and Yumeko landed in front of a Void Minotaur who was picking up houses and throwing them at people.
"So, you two are the ones I have to deal with. Ha, please, you are nothing more than ants to me," The void beast said.
"Sky, we have to be careful. That is a high-ranked void monster. They can talk," Yumeko said.
"Don\'t worry, I have an idea," Sky replied.
"Very well, I will entertain your foolishness," the Void minotaur said as he aimed his hand at them. Pure Void energy shot towards them. Yumeko jumped away and shot wind at Sky, pushing him out of the way as it hit a house behind them, turning it to nothing.
"High-class Void Monsters can use Pure Void Energy. It is a higher power of the void that turns whatever it touches into nothing. Mind, Soul, Body, and even your concept, which means the very idea of your existence, if you are touched by that, you are turned to nothing, along with everything you have done, will be forgotten, like when you saved Skystone town from people. People know they were saved but not by who," Yumeko said as Sky was in horror.
"Now then, shall we continue?" the minotaur asked as he shot again at the two. They dodged as a blast hit a building, destroying it.
"Damn, how can I beat this thing," Sky said to himself as he dodged another blast and looked to Yumeko, who was looking at the Minotaur, then turned to him.
"I have an idea. But I need you to keep the void minotaur busy," Yumeko said as she entered Wind Sage Mode.
"Fine," Sky replied.
"Void Blade," the Minotaur said as his hand turned into a sword of Void energy. He swung it, and Sky dodged.
"Damn it, I can\'t touch him so blocking is out of the question."
"Void Burst," the minotaur yelled as his sword burst.
"Shit," Sky said as the blast came towards him. Sky was unable to dodge; there was no space.
"Sky," Yumeko yelled as she saw her friend about to get hit. Suddenly, the Void Energy went through. She then heard a scream and saw the Minotaur\'s head go flying off as Noboru, who had cut off its head, appeared.
"That was a close one," Noboru said as he looked at Yumeko and Sky.
"It\'s the Black Star Knight, and he defeated the Minotaur like it was nothing. How is he this powerful?" Sky thought.
"You okay, Sky?" Yumeko asked.
"I\'m fine," Sky said.
"So, we meet again, Sky. Don\'t worry, I will take care of this now," Noboru said as he turned and looked at the other sentient Void Monsters, aiming his hand at them.
"Wait, Aura doesn\'t affect them," Yumeko yelled, only for Noboru to fire and obliterate a whole battalion of sentient Void Beasts. \'Impossible, that wasn\'t Aura or Void Energy, that was something else,\' she thought. Noboru jumped and flew to Sky.
"Noboru, wait," Noboru heard Sky yell.
"I guess he\'s not interested in talking," He heard Yumeko say.
Noboru saw Kira\'s team fighting some monster and pointed his hand towards the Monster. "God Flash," he yelled as the monsters were all destroyed. Noboru then looked at Kira, who looked at him enraged.
"The Black Star Knight. Damn it, I can\'t believe this is the guy who killed the Void beast and showed me up," Kira yelled.
"So you\'re the son of the Wind God. What a joke," Noboru replied.
"What did you say!" Kira yelled.
"Kira, calm down," Layla said.
"I will kill him. For embarrassing me," Kira said as he tried to launch wind at Noboru, only for the attack to go through Noboru like it\'s an illusion. Noboru looked at him, and Kira felt fear; he felt like he was going to erase himself. His breathing quickened as he felt his hands disappear, but suddenly, the feeling stopped, and he could feel his hands again once Noboru turned his head, as if Kira was some lowly animal. Kira was too scared to move.
Yumeko and Sky came running following him as Noboru suddenly saw another sentient Void Monster, this time a giant Crocodile, notice Yumeko and Sky and rush at them, trying to eat them. But Noboru aimed a finger and shot a beam of Omni Energy, vaporizing them.
"Yumeko, Sky, get your friends and go home," Noboru said.
"What,
no, we are the strongest in our year. We can help," Yumeko retorted.
"You struggled against the Void Minotaur. Yumeko, leave; you and your class are too weak to be of any help. If you stay here, you will die," Noboru said.
"What, no, I won\'t," Yumeko retorted.
"Damn it, I didn\'t want to do this." Noboru said as he aimed his hand at them and manipulated space and time, making a portal that sent Sky, Yumeko, and her friends away to the shelters. "Now save the foolish Wind God," Noboru said quietly, making a single clone that was an exact copy of himself and had 100 percent of power, like him with no flaws.
"Take down all the Void Beasts. I will help Wind God Kaze take down the Wind Beast," Noboru said as he teleported to the location of the Wind God and Void Dragon and several other Mythical Beasts, only to see the Wind god beaten down.
"Who are you? You are not supposed to be here. You were never born here; my lady would have informed us," The Void Dragon asked as Noboru smiled.
"That, you lizard, is classified," Noboru says.
"Well then, I will have fun killing you." The Dragon said as he opened his mouth and let out a beam of pure void energy, which made Wind God Kaze fly away. But Noboru stood there as it got close.
"Dodge, you fool," Kaze yelled. As the beam got closer and closer, Noboru looked at the attack; his red eyes had two golden rings in them that shined, and the attack turned to an illusion.
"What was that?" both the dragon and Kaze said as the dragon was in deep thought. \'That wasn\'t any type of energy in this world, not natural element connection that Sage mode uses, not Aura that all these humans, not void or pure void energy that my kind uses. What on Lady Yami is that?\'
"It doesn\'t matter; I am going to kill you," the dragon said as he charged at Noboru, who dodged and appeared in front of the dragon with pure speed before he pulled out his Black Star blade, coating it in lightning Omni Energy and aiming to slash the dragon\'s head off. The dragon used his left arm to stop the attack, losing his arm in the process, before he charged up a giant amount of pure void energy in his mouth.
"Void breath," The dragon said, an energy beam that covered everything above Aeritha rushed towards Aeritha, capable of destroying the structure that was so big that it was uncountable and beyond the concept of size. Noboru smiled as the beam came closer.
"Pathetic. Did the lizard forget my Gensogan turns all attacks into illusions?" Noboru said as he looked at the attack, and it turned into an illusion and went through Aeritha. Noboru then appeared on top of the dragon, whose eyes widened as Noboru\'s lightning omni energy-coated sword slashed his head off clean. Noboru then looked at the rest of the Void beasts as they started to feel so much fear they started to erase themselves from Noboru\'s killing intent alone.
"Now for the final touch," Noboru said as his eyes glowed, and a wave of omni energy washed over every Void monster, destroying them. Noboru\'s clones, sensing they were no longer needed, dissipated too.
"Who are you?" Kaze asked.
"I already told the Dragon who I am is classified," Noboru said.
"Why are you helping us?" Kaze asked.
"Because I want to." Noboru half-lied. He did want to, but it was mainly to complete the story of this world. "Well then until we meet again," Noboru said before his eyes glowed, and he teleported away.
"What a man," Kaze said as his son and, after a bit, once the city was out of lockdown, the experienced sentinels led them out. Kaze sensing whrre the newly graduate class which included his daughter and son was made his way there
