Early in the morning, Hikari woke up, he prepared to get ready for school, Xenon was sitting on the floor and staring out the window with a worried look on her face, Hikari noticed it and approached her, "Is there something wrong?" Xenon turned around, "Master...I sensed something." Hikari frowned, "What is it?" Xenon mumbled, "A large amount of cursed mana is gathering in one spot somewhere, there will probably be an extremely powerful spirit being summoned, it possibly could be a demon lord..." Hikari patted the fox spirit, " It's okay, if it goes on a rampage, we can stop it, right?" Xenon smiled, "Mhm!" Hikari chuckled, "Alright, I will be off to school, be a good fox until I come back." Xenon then sends Hikari off...
Yuna entered the class, she saw Hikari looking out of the window, she walked over to say good morning to him, "Good morning Hikari!" Hikari just nodded, "Good morning..." Yuna can tell that Hikari had something on his mind judging by his face, she tilted her head, "What's wrong?" Hikari shook his head, "It's nothing." Yuna pouted, "Come on...you should talk about it, we are friends aren't we?"
Hikari muttered, "The demon lord is getting released..." Yuna was confused, "What demon lord?" Hikari explained, "The demon lord, Ravana, he is the demon lord that has ruled for many centuries, in the past, the strongest exorcists at that time was able to constantly defeat him, but he kept on reviving, so my great grandfather, Enzo Kurai decided to seal him instead of killing him, making him unable to disturb the mortal world ever again, but now...seems like someone is trying to unseal him."
Yuna asked, "Who will be stupid enough to do that?" Hikari shrugged his shoulders, "Don't know...I need to go and check out the seal to find out for myself." Yuna then asked, "Can I come as well?" Hikari immediately denied her, "No...it is too dangerous for you, you are a newly trained exorcist, whoever is the one trying to unseal the demon lord is probably a lot stronger than you." Yuna pouted, "But I want to help..." Suddenly, Hikari patted Yuna on the head, she was surprised and blushed, "Hikari..." Hikari's violet eyes and Yuna's violet and blue eyes met, "I just don't want you to die, that's all..."
After school, Hikari went back home, Xenon pounced on him, pushing him onto the floor, "Master! You are back!" Hikari groaned in pain, "Giant fur ball...you know that you are in your human form right..." Xenon sat on Hikari, her fox ears flapping, "So? It makes no difference right?" Hikari touched his forehead, "This fox..." Hikari got up, he patted Xenon's head, "We are going to the demon lord seal to see who is trying to unseal him." Xenon nodded, "We can't just let the demon lord get released, the world will be in chaos..."
The two of them headed to Heito's largest temple, Pien Temple, that is where Enzo Kurai sealed the demon lord, Ravana. Hikari was worried when they got to the temple, the exorcist guards over there had all fallen, "Someone is indeed trying to unseal the demon lord." Xenon urged Hikari, "Master, there is no time to waste, we need to hurry!"
They rushed to the basement of the temple, it is no ordinary basement, it is a large hall with a demon gate there, Hikari hissed, "What are you doing here, Hel...." Hel smirked as she turned around, "Hikari and his kitsune, I know that you will come and stop me, this is your great grandfather's seal right? I would need the demon lord's help in my plan to rewrite this world, HAHAHAHA!" Hikari's eyes narrowed, "The demon lord is not going to listen to you, you will have to listen to him...the world will be destroyed by him."
Hel laughed, "So what? As long as the world is ruled properly, I am fine with it." Xenon rolled her eyes, "You really think the demon lord will rule the mortals properly, no way...he will make everyone suffer!" Hel rolled her eyes , "It is not for you to say...kitsune." She touched the seal, "Plus...the ritual is almost done, there is nothing you can do to stop me."
A large green magic circle appeared around the seal, Hikari hissed, "No before I stop it..." Hel smirked, "Oh really? We shall have a duel then..." She chanted, "Cursed dark summoning, Armour Knight Ogre." A golden gate appeared and when it opened, an ogre wearing a knight armour with a long sword walked out of it. It roared at Hikari and Xenon, Xenon had her hands on her shadow katana, "Should I take care of this one?" Hikari stopped her, "We need to focus on stopping Hel..."
Hikari chanted, "Cursed dark summoning, Oni Dragon." A larger golden gate opened and red eyes glowed from within the dark space, a large black dragon crawled out, it roared at the ogre, the two of them charged at each other and engaged in combat. Hikari and Xenon dashed towards Hel, she quickly chanted, "Cursed dark arts, Cursed Wall." A wall appeared and blocked their movement, Hel laughed, "It's too late...you can't stop the demon lord's resurrection! HAHAHAHA!"
The seal soon started cracking, Hikari chanted, "Cursed dark ar-" A beam of light disrupted Hikari's chanting, Hel smirked, "Don't even try..." Xenon quickly dashed towards Hel, "YOU!" Suddenly, the demon gate burst open, a powerful wind blew Xenon back, Hikari managed to catch her, "We are too late..."
Hikari's dragon was able to defeat the ogre, Hikari and Xenon took cover behind it. There was the sound of a sword dragging on the ground, a man with black and purple armour walked out of the gate, his face was covered with a mask, there were large purple wings on his back, the long blue sword with a purple handle slowly dragged along the ground, "I...am finally free, that exorcist has sealed me for so long..."
Hel bowed to the demon lord, Havana, "My lord...I was the one who unsealed you, the world needs you to bring it to the right place." Havana laughed, "HAHAHAHA! A mortal asking me to correct this world, very well, I shall grant that wish..." Hikari hissed, "As if we will let you..."
Havana turned to Hikari, "Hmm...you look a lot like him, the exorcist that sealed me away..." He then looked at Xenon, "A kitsune? Interesting...you can work under me if you want." Xenon growled at him, "NO! I am a free spirit!" Havana laughed, "A free spirit? There is no spirit that is willing to disobey my command..." Hikari summoned his katana, "We shall seal you back again..." Havana cracked his neck, "You can try..." Hikari chanted, "Cursed dark arts, Hellfire." A big ball of flame flew at Havana, his entire body caught on fire.
However, with one sweep, the flames disappeared and Havana was left unscathed, "Useless tricks...let me show you what I got!" He fired a dark beam at Hikari, it was a direct hit, Hikari got knocked back and crashed into a wall, Xenon shouted, "MASTER!" Havana smirked, "So he is your master? How weak is he..." Xenon hissed, "How dare you insult my master like that!" She dashed towards Havana but was blocked by his sword, "Just like her master, your powers are nothing..."
The demon lord swung his sword and pushed Xenon away, Xenon then created her shadow flames around Havana, even though the flames are clearly touching him, he seems unaffected by the flames at all, "You can burn for as long as you want, this will not hurt me even a bit..." That left Xenon stunned, "How? My shadow flames..." Havana smirked, "You are just weak that's all." he sent one dark slash towards Xenon, knocking her off the ground and caused her to crash beside Hikari.
Hikari saw Xenon being badly hurt by Havana, "Xenon..." He slowly crawled towards her, Havana laughed, "Bow before me, you weak and foolish creatures..." Hikari clenched his fists, "You are just someone created from a massive amount of cursed mana, that's all...there is nothing special about you." Havana hissed, "You are searching for your death, boy..." He fired a dark beam at Hikari. Suddenly, Hikari chanted, "Cursed dark arts, Eternal Void." His violet eyes glowed and a spiral void appeared and absorbed the dark beam.
That surprised Havana, "Oh? You are able to block that attack, that's impressive, but that wouldn't be enough to defeat me..." Hikari muttered, "I know I can't defeat you right now...but I am giving the future of myself a chance to defeat you."
Xenon opened her eyes and saw Hikari still fighting, "Master..." Hikari then reached out his hand to her, "Let's do this, my little kitsune." Xenon nodded, "Mhm!" Hikari chanted, "Cursed dark arts, Spirit Blessings." Xenon then combined with Hikari, her soul entered his body, her fox powers combined with his cursed mana, white fox ears appeared on his head, Hikari muttered, "Scarlet Thunder." Hikari fired a scarlet beam at Havana, the demon lord tried repelling it with his own dark beam, Hikari infused more power inside his attack, his right eye turned scarlet, it shows that he is pushing his powers to the limit, the scarlet beam was able to overcome Havana's dark beam and it was a direct hit, causing a powerful explosion.
Hel shouted, "MY LORD!" She went over to check on Havana, he was only partially injured, when the smoke cleared, Hikari and Xenon were gone, that pissed the demon lord off, "Darn it...they got away." Hel confronted him, "It's okay my lord, now we just need to gather power so that even if they come again, we can defeat them easily." Havana sighed, "Fine..."
Hikari and Xenon managed to escape into the forest, both of them were exhausted, it was already night time, the moon hung brightly in the sky. Xenon took a few steps and then collapsed right in front of Hikari, he went to help her out, it turns out that she just used too much spirit mana, "You did well today...giant fur ball."
The exorcist carried his fox spirit in his arms and went back home, Hikari tucked Xenon in with his blanket on the bed, Hikari then laid on the sofa, he is in deep thought of what happened today, "If Xenon was not there, I would have died from Havana, I am not as strong as my great grandfather...I wonder how he is able to defeat him, I have to become stronger, how foolish I was to think that I don't have to improve myself, in order for me to truly become the strongest exorcist, I have to train myself daily..."
The moonlight shone down on Hikari's violet eyes, as if his great grandfather's soul was calling out to him...
