“Hydrangea…! You’re Hydrangea, right?!”

“It is indeed, I, Hydrangea, from ten years ago, also, your esteemed lover.”

“What happened…? Why are you here of all places?!”

“Why you ask…? I served this man here. It’s simple as that.”

Contrary to what Hydrangea is doing to Nil right now, she flat out reveals that she serves him. As she said that, she began grinding her foot that is currently atop of Nil’s head burying it further. Nil in response repeatedly taps his hand on the paved ground as a sign of surrender.

“Hydrangea, did he brainwashed you or something!? Why are you letting him use you?!”

“No, in fact, I am a part of the Order of the Sins. I am the current Arcana of Wrath.”

“Eh..?! Arcana of Wrath…? You…?”

Somehow… the mood becomes a bit funny when Fonfon asks that with a quizzical look on his face. Even Violetta and Master face are in awe and disbelief that they even muttered silently…

“A…fairy kin…is wrathful?”

“Isn’t every single one of them is gentle or kind despite their aversion to other races?!”

Is that how they generally see fairy kins?

Come to think of it, even Teacher Rose is kind and gentle.

Is that the norm here?

Why is she the Arcana of Wrath?

Fonfon slowly takes a step forward towards Hydrangea with a troubled face.

“A-are you serious?”

“Serious? You are asking me if I am seriously someone with Arcana magic composed of wrath? Want to tell me why?!”

Hydrangea suddenly shouts. Her eyes indicate anger and despiteful. She let of Nil’s face and stomp angrily towards Fonfon while angrily knitting her brows and her face becomes red from rage.

“Since meeting you back then, we did become a lover, yes. I was happy and delightful! But, the me who are pure, innocent and always calm, bickered and argued with you every single hour every single day! You are the most stupid person I have met that time! Freaking stubborn to the bone! Even though you are smart when it comes to complicated stuff such as politics, you are just a plain moron with no eagerness to understand others! I am always at my wits end when you selfishly did things! You are considerate from time to time but it can’t make up for that days we quarreled! Slowly, I got this hot-headed attitude because of you! You!! YOU I SAY!”

“Ah… ermmm… sorry…??”

She is not an Arcana of Wrath for no reasons. Her magic overflows the whole place as she continues walking towards Fonfon while stomping, causing the ground to shake.

She is visible clenching her right fist. It seems she is going for a straight punch to the face. But Fonfon seems like he is just going to take it as his face says he is resigning.

Girls are so complicated…

BAM!

“Gufoo!!”

It may not as be as strong as Alstroe’s punch but it is certainly strong that it made Fonfon flinch from it. He did manage to stay on his feet and standstill but the attack doesn’t end there.

“You know that as a Fairy kin, we are specialized in Healing and Regeneration and curing. But by becoming an Arcana of Wrath, I lost of all! But I have no regrets as long as I can punch you like this!”

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

BAM!

“Guahh!”

“I just have to be the one to confess my love to you because you are a coward and dense! You never took notice of my feelings if I hadn’t gathered the courage to tell you upfront!”

BOOM!

“UWAAH!!”

“And what the fuck is that?! You are so scared of commitment that you ditch our engagement?! Don’t you know how much it hurts me?!  By now, you should be aware why I separated from you before we even got to the Demon capital!”

BAM!

BAM!

“ACK!”

“You damn insensitive virgin!”

“Aren’t you a virgin too?!”

“SHUT UP!”

BAM!

BOOM!

And so, Hydrangea’s assault continues as she roars her complaints towards Fonfon.

In short…

He deserves it…

“Hey, hey, hey…what happened to the Ashfon Versus Nil?! Hy completely stole the spotlight from the antagonist. That’s not in the book of How to be a Villain Volume Four, Second Edition.”

Somehow, Nil was able to insert a side comment but was ignored. He is curling in a ball as he watches Hydrangea throws her punches to Fonfon.

What is he even saying…?

Hydrangea keeps attacking Fonfon with punches until it bled, her fist that is…

“Hydrangea! Stop it!”

“…”

Fonfon grabs her by the wrist to stop her from punching. Hydrangea isn’t bothered at the very least when she was told to stop, instead, she just closes her eyes and heave a big sigh.

“Hydrangea! I still love you! I still love you even after all these years. I did try to forget you but I can’t!”

“I am quite pleased that you still love me because I still feel the same. I never lied to you even once right, Ashfon?”

“Then…!”

“Then you should remember my parting words too.”

“Eh..?!”

The atmosphere darkens again. It’s like a looming chaos is bound to eat the place. Hydrangea and Nil’s expression becomes serious as if they are resonating with each other. Fonfon who understand this put up his guard too.

“Remember my parting words, Ashfon. It’s no lie after all.”

“…You said…I shall make you taste pain for what you did to me ten folds, right?

“Correct.”

“But to join that man, Nil! You want to commit atrocious crime together with him?!”

“This and that are a different matter. He is there because he is convenient.”

“Convenient?!”

Nil walks towards Hydrangea’s side while untying his necktie and removing his coat. He also removes the gloves and loosens the shirt tucked into his pants.

“Do you know why he attacked this place, Dragon Capital Mujinn?”

“The reason? He also killed Ouros the dragon emperor! If there’s a reason behind his action, it should be convincing.”

“Too bad…”

“What…?!

“He attacked this place because…”

“…”

“Because he can.”

I don’t know what happened to my face but I know that it’s drained of blood. I know it, I turned pale and cold. Even my hands and feet felt how cold my body has become that it’s also getting numb.

Disbelief paints the face of Master and Violetta.

“You are saying that…he attacked this place because… of a whim?!”

“Yes.”

“Because of a whim, he killed thousands of people! Because of a whim, he killed Ouros! Do you want to serve that kind of being!? Hydrangea!!!”

The rage that was drained from Fonfon earlier came back. Astlan’s Ira’s power covers him again as he stares daggers at Nil who is smiling haughtily. Hydrangea was saying those things with an indifferent tone.

Just because of a whim…that… he did this…?! Because of that whim…that Milin died!

Nil took notice of me as I glare angrily at him but he just returns a ridiculing smirk that further incites my indignation.

I know. I don’t have and power or strength to defeat him. I can only grit my teeth and clench my fist as I glare at him from afar.

“As I said, he is convenient. He is disgustingly immortal and a good outlet for my wrath. Anyway, yes, I serve this scum, what of it?”

“Kuh!”

Nil steps forward to intervene.

“Are you guys done?~ I want to proceed the story and I want to get down to this route already!~”

“…That’s it… You are far too dangerous and whimsical. For you not to lay a hand on Asagao and to get Hydrangea from you, I will shred your very existence to nothing!!!”

“Woah, calm down! I am in disadvantage you know!? I need to prepare a weapon myself.”

“Weapon?!”

While Fonfon is reaching a critical point of his rage, Nil halted him. The way I see it, Fonfon can’t attack as Nil uses Hydrangea as a shield.

Nil made another glance at me and whispered wordlessly to me. He moves his lips…

“Watch and learn…Asagao…”

Eh..?!

“Hydrangea! Spirit transition if you will.”

“Affirmative. It’s really regretful that I am the only one among the history of the order to be compatible with you.”

As she said that, Hydrangea body shines brightly. Energy moves towards her and it causes the wind to gather at one place. It’s like she is covering herself with power.

“Spirit Conversion?!”

“Master?!”

“Asagao…that’s… a power only special for those who can communicate with the spirits of this world. That being said, those who can communicate with them are just either fairies or elves. They can make a pact with them to temporarily convert their body to a spirit, enhancing their sensitivity of the land and raising one’s magic capacity to the limit! Incidentally, you can also make a pact with spirits to tame them and use them as your own familiar or a summoned creature.”

“I… I see…thanks for explaining Master.

“That’s my job…”

It takes a few more second before Hydrangea finished her transition.

As the energy around us settled and become stable again, Hydrangea stands in the same spot. But there’s a huge changed that happened to her.

She became slightly transparent but the magic power she has is unbelievable…almost like what Master has. She is also radiating with transparent bluish aura and her body grows a little more matured.

But… Fonfon just scoffs it and turns to Nil.

“Is this your weapon?  You are going to make Hydrangea fight me, knowing that I don’t have the will to attack her?!”

“True, that’s a good idea but it’s boring.”

“…”

“And we are not done showing off! I’m taking back the spotlight now.

As what nil said, it seems they are not done yet.

Nil holds out his hand towards Hydrangea. In return Hydrangea holds Nil’s hand and suddenly, another force of power emerges.

…!

Hydrangea is…being absorb!?

“Hydrangea!! Bastard! What the hell are you doing to her?!”

Fonfon stances himself with the swords he is holding and readies to attack at anytime.

The bizarre phenomenon happens before our very own eyes. Violetta and Master are both stuck with awe and amazement and even their eyes are brimming with excitement. They just stand there, waiting for the outcome of the phase that’s happening in front of us.

Two merges into a one entity.

Power resonates and creates a never before seen force.

Unraveling an unknown and frontier divinity that ascends the common knowledge.

A strong dim purple light attacks our eyes as Hydrangea enters Nil’s body. Her power, soul and very existence courses throughout his body and then it crawled into its designated path, Nil’s left hand.

In a flash, the light that is Hydrangea takes a form of a one edged sword with wing motif as a reference to her.

A beautiful sapphire sword donning a shape of a wing.

Everyone who witnessed it… had our faces hardened. The most astonished of them all… is me… because… I know… I know it deep down…what is that…but… I can’t spell it out with my own tongue…

Nil…as if guessing my unrest speak…

“This power is accessible only by those with divinity in their blood, a resonance between a transcendental being and a spirit.”

Pointing the beautiful sword at Fonfon, Nil grandly announces.

“[Divine Possession!]”
