The Sekirei’s Covenant

"Yuri, do you know what you're doing? Well, although it's too late to say this now, I'll still ask one thing—"

"Mariya Yuri, are you truly willing? To be with me, not because of a momentary impulse, and you don't mind even though I already have Erica and other women?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Sora said to Yuri with a scrutinizing expression. Even he hadn't expected this girl, who usually seemed reserved and traditional, to make such a bold and decisive move just now.

He felt that the strange seal in his mind seemed to have cracked open for an instant just now. Although he still couldn't recall the sealed memories, unlike before, this crack never healed or closed again.

Even Sora himself didn't notice that a subtle change had occurred in him just now…

"I am willing! I am willing!!"

"So…"

At this moment, Yuri was also completely unlike her usual self. Although her face was so red it looked like it was about to drip blood, she didn't shrink back at all when facing Sora's direct gaze. Instead, she replied without hesitation, her expression carrying a hint of shyness, but even more, a trace of determination.

"Heh… I understand Yuri's feelings. In that case, I won't be polite!"

A wicked curve pulled at the corner of his mouth. Sora smiled. This time, he didn't let the girl take the initiative. He directly lifted Yuri's chin and kissed her.

"Mmm…"

Her expression was hazy, her heart filled with endless shyness, yet also an incomparable joy.

Finally, she had said the words she had hidden in her heart for a long time. Finally, she was truly accepted by Sora…

"Yuri, just this isn't enough, you know. If you like it, I can accompany you any number of times in the future, but for now, hurry and transmit the Knowledge of Osiris to me! Erica and the others won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

Releasing the girl, letting the silver thread connect their lips, Sora looked at Yuri, who had forgotten to use the "Professor" magic on herself due to excessive shyness and nervousness, and said teasingly.

"Ah! I… I… Please, one more time!"

That shy and embarrassed feeling almost made the already pure Yuri faint, but the girl knew she absolutely couldn't collapse now. Her face was like a ripe apple, and she said with endless shyness and embarrassment.

A slight curve pulled at the corner of his mouth. This girl, so pure that she made one feel pity, was so cute no matter how many times he looked at her. Sora stopped teasing her and granted her request.

Although her little head still felt very dizzy, as if her whole being was about to fall into it, this time the Miko-san finally didn't forget the important matter. While embracing and kissing Sora, she transmitted the Knowledge of Osiris to him.

A golden magic circle flashed, and a strangely shaped golden sword, inscribed with profound runes, rose from it and was grasped by Sora. At the same time, centered around Sora and Yuri, a golden world full of swords instantly expanded!

"This is…"

Looking at this world where the ground and sky were entirely filled with swords, even Marquis Voban, who was controlling the Undead Servants to besiege Erica and Liliana, couldn't help but feel a shock of horror.

"Oh my, oh my, Yuri, I didn't expect you to be so bold. To actually get intimate with Sora right in front of me, your King's Knight and lover."

Repelling the Undead Servants around her, Erica leaped and landed beside Sora and Yuri, saying with a playful smile.

The knight girl Liliana also retreated to Sora's side, a faint blush appearing on her face. She felt that this King Kusanagi's Authority was truly too wicked, requiring this kind of method to activate. Although she didn't say anything, she was staring at Sora and Yuri with an ambiguous and strange gaze.

"Ugh…"

Both Erica's teasing words and Liliana's ambiguous gaze made the thin-skinned Yuri wish she could find a hole to crawl into. She buried her little head tightly in Sora's embrace, not daring to face anyone.

"Marquis Voban, although I feel like I should thank you, still, it's better to defeat you first!"

"Your Authority, I've seen through it!"

A bloodthirsty and cold curve pulled at the corner of his mouth. Under Sora's control, tens of thousands of golden swords floated into the air, all turning and aiming at Marquis Voban, shooting down towards him with incredible speed!

"This Authority… Damn it!!!"

Looking at the rain of swords like stars filling the sky, even Marquis Voban felt his scalp tingle. How could he dare to hesitate? He quickly controlled all his Undead Servants to block in front of him.

"Ah!!!"

Although there were many Undead Servants, how could they compare to the endless golden swords? In no time at all, all the Undead Servants, along with Marquis Voban, were submerged in the endless rain of swords…

…

"That's truly a cunning Authority! Hahaha… You're quite capable, King Kusanagi. You broke my [Wolf] and severed the chains of the [Undead Servants]. It's a bit too exciting just for passing the time!"

Because his authority was broken, a long bloody scar appeared on Marquis Voban's face, making him look ferocious and terrifying. However, old Voban showed no sign of defeat because of this; instead, he became even more excited!

"Now, let me see, just how far can you truly go? Hahahaha…"

It seemed he was determined to fight Sora to the bitter end today. A fierce gale raged, accompanied by wind and rain. Behind him, the phantoms of three gods appeared. This time, Marquis Voban actually used three authorities at once!

A strong hurricane swept the clouds in the sky into a giant vortex. Under Marquis Voban's control, several silver-white lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking directly towards Sora and the other three.

"Liliana!"

Startled, Erica on the side quickly called out to Liliana.

"Understood!"

Although they were old rivals, at this moment, the two showed incredible teamwork. They simultaneously flashed in front of Sora and Yuri, transforming their magic swords into shields to block the lightning strike.

"Yuri, one more time, I believe in you, you can definitely do it!"

Knowing that the two girls couldn't hold on for long, Sora said to Yuri with a serious expression.

"Erica-san… Liliana-san… Yes!!!"

Looking at the two knight girls struggling to shield her and Sora, the Miko-san no longer cared about being shy. She nodded forcefully. Although her Spirit Vision might not necessarily succeed, Yuri had a feeling that no matter how many times she needed to use it today, she could succeed!

Staring intently at the three divine phantoms behind Marquis Voban, sure enough, it wasn't long before a faint glow once again emanated from the Miko, receiving a revelation from the heavens—

"Feng Bo, Yu Shi, Lei Gong, from the land of China, gods who control storms in ancient mythology…"

As she recited the words of revelation, both Sora and the two girls blocking the lightning, Erica and Liliana, couldn't help but be startled.

Although she had no combat ability, Yuri was practically a super weapon in their hands right now. No matter what kind of authority Marquis Voban used, she could see through it every single time!

"Damn Miko, die for this King!"

Seeing his authority so easily seen through by Yuri again, Marquis Voban was filled with endless rage. He had almost guessed the condition for Sora's unfair authority. If all his authorities were seen through by this troublesome Miko, wouldn't they all be broken by that King Kusanagi guy?

Old Voban would never allow such a thing! He suddenly increased the intensity of the lightning, not caring about Yuri's life. Although he needed her ability, he could just make her a death servant after she died!

"Yuri, hurry, do it again just like before!"

The pressure greatly increased, and her arms were starting to feel numb. Erica shouted to Yuri with an anxious expression.

"Yes!!!"

No longer shy, on the contrary, feeling an unprecedented sense of happiness and excitement that she could finally help everyone and fight alongside them, Yuri didn't hesitate. She quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed Sora, transferring the knowledge about Feng Bo, Yu Shi, and Lei Gong to him.

The condition was met, and the authority of the Golden Sword activated again. A golden world, a sky full of sword rain, constantly rotating around Sora, Erica, and the girls, forming a giant vortex of golden swords.

Under Sora's control, thousands of golden swords detached from the vortex and shot towards Marquis Voban and the phantoms of the three gods!

"No!!!"

Letting out a tragic scream, without surprise, both Marquis Voban and the divine phantoms were completely submerged in the endless sword rain.

The wind stopped, the rain dispersed, and the thunder fell silent. The Golden Sword Domain disappeared, as if the entire world had suddenly become quiet. The eastern sun rose, a ray of morning light shining on everyone's faces.

The night was finally over…

Because three authorities were broken at once this time, Marquis Voban was also greatly weakened, looking much more listless. Three bloody scars had appeared on his face, a sign that his authorities had been broken again.

"King Voban, you have failed! We are invincible now, no matter how many authorities you can still use, I will cut them apart for you to see!"

Pointing the Golden Sword at Marquis Voban, Sora erupted with endless dominance.

Well, although his dominance came about in a somewhat unfair way, built upon the Miko-san Yuri-chan's cheat-like Spirit Vision ability…

His expression twisted, endlessly gloomy. Clearly, Marquis Voban hadn't expected such an outcome in the end. He didn't look at Sora, but his wolf-like green eyes stared intently at Yuri in Sora's arms. Marquis Voban felt some regret now. Because of his temporary arrogance, he had let this Miko go, and now she had become the source of his failure!

Marquis Voban had every reason to believe that if it weren't for the Miko's Spirit Vision ability, that hateful Golden Sword authority of the King Kusanagi wouldn't have been used, and he wouldn't have failed this battle!

But it was too late to regret now. Looking at the Miko, who was as weak as an ant before him, yet stared back at him without flinching, with a determined and resolute expression, Marquis Voban knew that even if he used other authorities, she would definitely see through them.

"King Kusanagi, Miko, this King remembers you!"

"I'll let you have this victory for now, but one day this King will return to hunt you!"

Knowing that the situation was irreversible, although extremely unwilling, Marquis Voban was decisive. He left a harsh threat and transformed into a breeze, disappearing from the spot.

Finally, this battle between Kings had ended, concluding with the victory of Sora and his knights and Miko…
