Itachi’s Resurrection

Hello everyone, I’m the author of this novel — Fuixy! This chapter got a little delayed. I’m sorry about that. It was delayed because I was working on the map and also due to some personal reasons. Also, my birthday was on July 16, so I decided to take a one-day break. I’ll try my best not to let it happen again. 😓

I throw Kaori to the left and turn to the dragon. A blue dragon, about 30-35 meters tall, with red eyes.

"Cruffciel, that's you, isn't it?"

"That's right, Kurumi."

Kaori manages to shake off her shock.

"Are you also from Foisiliea?"

"Yes. Number 1, Cruffciel. But don't worry, I'm an ally. Kurumi only has two forms. So, there's no need to worry. First is her normal form, second is this one. Now… Sekionda Stiella."

Cruffciel transforms into a human. About 165-175 cm tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, a thin woman. Her hair reaches her shoulders. Blue wings spread from her back. Two blue horns grow out. A tail appears too, colored blue.

"Kurumi, your road ends here today. Even though you turned from human to monster, you kept your human form, making you a bit special. But it doesn't matter—you will die."

"Am I going to die? You're too arrogant."

I dash towards Cruffciel, slashing my Blood Cutter at her neck. She blocks it with her tail.

"Huh?"

"Surprised, Kurumi? Sorry, but we're not the same. I'm much stronger."

I quickly leap backward several times.

"Envelop, Blood Cutter!"

I stab Blood Cutter into the ground. It disappears. The entire dungeon turns red. Everything becomes blood.

"Now you're in my Domain. This place belongs entirely to me."

"What is this?"

A long, sharp object rises from the ground. I grab it—it becomes a sword. Made of blood. My speed increases. I dash towards Cruffciel and slash. Even though she dodges back, a slanted cut appears on her torso.

The sword's hilt extends beyond even my eyesight and pierces into Cruffciel's chest. I push it deeper, grab the tip, and lift it. The sword's tip and hilt swap positions.

"Why am I Number 18 while you're Number 1?"

"?"

"You have a third form. I don't. Why don't you transform into it?"

"If I enter my third form, the unleashed magic power would harm these people."

"That's the biggest difference between us. That's why I deserve to be Number 1. Intelligence."

The sword enters Cruffciel's veins and advances through her body. I throw the sword far away. Cruffciel flies along with it.

"You can't beat me, Cruffciel."

I notice something that shouldn't be missing behind me. Itachi… he's not there. I look around quickly. He stands beside Cruffciel. His severed head back in place.

"How are you alive?"

"Thanks to the Goddess's Blessing."

"The Goddess?"

"Exactly."

Itachi closes his left hand. Then extends his index and middle fingers and points them at himself. He suddenly turns them towards me.

(From here, you’ll see through Itachi’s perspective.)

Kurumi’s head is severed and slowly turns into dust, disappearing. The blood and sword vanish.

Cruffciel looks at me.

"Is she dead?"

"No. She’ll return with the Goddess's Blessing."

"Isn’t that your ability?"

"It’s not an ability. It’s a blessing."

"I’ve never heard of such a thing."

"It’s nothing to be surprised about."

I carefully examine Cruffciel.

"Cruffciel… you're going to die."

"What?"

"The wound Kurumi gave you is too severe. Your chances of survival are slim."

"What nonsense! I don't even feel pain."

"She’s already injected her blood into your body. It will destroy all your blood."

"What—"

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Cruffciel and I suddenly look towards the sound.

"Here she comes."

Kurumi's head materializes out of nowhere. Her hair turns pitch black and extremely long. She now has three eyes—two white, one black. Her teeth become razor-sharp, with two upper fangs sticking out. Blood pours from her nose, eyes, and mouth. Her body forms—long and thin. Her arms begin to form, jet black. Her nails grow about twenty centimeters, becoming part of her fingers like claws. The same happens to her feet. Her legs turn long and thin.

"THIS IS MY TASZ MURIS! TASZ MURIS STRENGTHENS USING ALL THE EVIL EMOTIONS FOUND OR EVER FOUND IN OTHER PEOPLE’S MINDS AND OVERWHELMS THOSE AROUND IT WITH EVIL FEELINGS."

I look at Cruffciel.

"She's now reached Ultimate level. And even beyond. So, stay out of this. This is my job."

Kaori comes beside Cruffciel.

"I can heal your wound."

Kurumi swiftly attacks me. I deflect her strike with my hand. Kurumi looks slightly surprised. I bring my other hand down sharply towards her head. She dodges with her head, but her body takes a heavy blow on the shoulder. She retreats. Kurumi spreads her arms wide. She creates a long, weird-shaped spear-stick hybrid. It's pitch black. Meanwhile, Kaori heals Cruffciel with healing magic.

I rush towards Kurumi. The object in her hand thickens.

"Wei Sili," says Kurumi.

I punch. Kurumi blocks my punch with Wei Sili. I push harder. Wei Sili splits in two. They suddenly turn horizontal and stab into me.

I quickly retreat. I form a sword in my hand, pure white.

"Holy Sword."

Suddenly, I appear with the Holy Sword stabbed into Kurumi's heart.

"DESTROY!"

The sword shrinks and enters Kurumi's heart, annihilating it. Kurumi dies standing and begins to turn to dust.

I whisper into Kurumi's ear.

"Farewell."

"Is she dead?" asks Kaori.

"Ah… Yes. Now she has to die for good. I’ll explain how she and I revived. But first, heal everyone so they don’t die."
