SDK 297 - The Terrible God - The Second Sword ~ The Beginning of the End of the World 1 Anthony: Th... those guys are soldiers created from the Former Aka no Ou's blood......!? Some other Yuan family member: What the... Some other Yuan family member: Is he trying to destroy the Mibu!? Anthony: No... it's not just the Mibu... look... Anthony: The soldiers appeared because of the evil light coming from up there... 2 Anthony: [Does that light reach to the depths of the earth!? When those soldiers finish with the Mibu... is the rest of the world next...!?] Guy with weird hairdo: Demon Child... Other guy: Save us... Mutant guy: Hidetada-dono... Little girl: Yukimura-oniichan...!! (Yukimura's name is subtitled with "pretty." o_o) Santera: A... Akari-san!! Yuya-san...!! Santera: Save us... Antera/Anjiyu: Akira... Mahiro: Hidetada-sama... Sarutobi... Mahiro: ...Kyo!! Mahiro: [Save us!!] 3 Akari: D... Damn it...!! They just keep coming!! Bon: But we can't give up no matter what!! Bon: ...Not until... Bon: [Not until Kyo and the others defeat the Former Aka no Ou!!] Aka-chan: I'll purify this world... Aka-chan: I hold the future in the palm of my hand... 4 Aka-chan: Now, Shiina Yuya, seer of what is to come... Text: [Will everythng in the world become a plaything of the Former Aka no Ou's whims...!? Will the chains of hell be broken!?] Aka-chan: Tell me what will become of this world... Text: [The big block of white text is just another advert for the must-have special edition CD-ROM from the last chapter, hehehe] 5 Yuya: B... But... I don't have the power to see the future... Yuya: ...I just can't...!! Aka-chan: If that is not the case... then why do I feel this light? You have the same light as the seer Sakuya... Aka-chan: One light which shines upon this doomed, hopeless world... Yuya: ...Let me go! Yuya: Let me go back to Kyo... and the others..... Aka-chan: ...Soon you will no longer feel that way... Aka-chan: ...Look. Aka-chan: I can give you everything you could ever desire...... Aka-chan: ...That outfit suits you well, but is there anything else I can give to you? All you need do is ask. 6 Yuya: I... I don't need any of this stuff...!! Yuya: I only want one thing... and that's to be with Kyo!! Aka-chan: I think you should be a good girl and stop lying to me... humans are disgusting creatures, motivated by greed... Aka-chan: Don't you see it's pointless to defy me? Your heart is now linked to mine... As long as you are of use to me, it seems that we'll be spending a very, very long time together... Yuya: Ah!! 7 Aka-chan: Now tell me... Aka-chan: My future... Yuya: Wh... what...? Aka-chan: ...That was fast. 8-9 Aka-chan: Kyo... Yuya: K... Kyo!! And everyone else...!! Aka-chan: Well then, you all made it here... and much faster than I expected. Aka-chan: I suppose you have your friends to thank for that accomplishment, like everything else you've done? Aka-chan: ...But I'm afriad all of your efforts have been in vain... 10 Aka-chan: Stand against me, and you will die. Tora: What!? Aka-chan: ...I have nothing to fear. All men are equal in death. Aka-chan: Perhaps I can make those who would go against their god into sacrifices to him? Aka-chan: Such as those miserable "battle dolls"... Tora: F... Tora: Fuck you!! 11 Yuya: Tora!! Sasuke-kun!! Tora: AHHH!! Tora: Ah... I... I can't move... Sasuke: Shibien feels as heavy as lead... Tora and Sasuke: GAH!! 12 Yuya: Yukimura-san!! Yukimura: He may be tough, but he left himself wide open. *heart* This sword is filled with Muramasa's feelings... there's no way he can take a direct hit without being wounded... Yukimura: Right!? Yukimura: What...!? With one finger...!? 13 Yukimura: Gah!! Aka-chan: Maybe Kyo or Kyoushirou could pull that off... but those Muramasa swords you're all carrying are useless against me... Kyoushirou: ...Oh really? Kyoushirou: Then... try this!! 14 Kyoushirou: What!? It stopped before hitting him... Kyoushirou: ....!? Kyoushirou: Ah... gah... Kyoushirou: [The cross mark burns like it's being branded into my body...!?] Kyoushirou: Gah... ah... AAH...!! Aka-chan: Three separate attacks? I don't see much teamwork here... Kyoushirou: Kyaa... ahh... Aka-chan: But Kyoushirou, you're the fourth of my Red Cross Knights... how could you go against me, your master? There's simply no excuse, now is there? Aka-chan: Oh Kyoushirou, you've disappointed me... I think it's time to be rid of you... 15 Yuya: Kyo!! Yuya: ...A fourth attack!? Kyo: ...The fool... Kyo: Is you!! Aka-chan: That was a nice try, Kyo. But your aim is a little off. 16-17 (OH HELL YES.) 18 Kyo: ...Oh, my bad... Kyo: It's been a while since I've been in this body. I guess I've got better aim with my fist than with a sword. Kyoushirou: K... Kyo...? Kyo: And you ain't seen nothing yet... Kyo: Hey!! Get up...!! Kyo: Because next time, I'm gonna kill you!! 19 Yuya: ...Kyo!! Aka-chan: ...Interesting. Aka-chan: ...How long has it been since I last tasted my own blood......? Aka-chan: It makes my blood boil, it does... 20 Aka-chan: ...Very well. Aka-chan: I'll fight you seriously... Text: Kyo strikes for those he was born to protect!! But can he handle the royal wrath of the Former Aka no Ou!? Next Chapter: Funeral March!! There will not be a new chapter next week as the author is taking a break to collect data. (They always say that, but what does it mean?) The story will be back in Volume 12! (This was Volume 10, by the way)
