Chapter 190 [190]The Qualifications Of A Warrior.
[Lucas Hiddlestone PoV]
I...ca can't stay like this...
"Kh..."
A groan escaped my mouth as I tried my best to move.
Damnit, If only that Japanese guy hadn't crashed into her when she tried to feed me a potion.
If only I had that potion I would've gone back into the fight!
That damn pit fiend is destroying us all!
And here I am, unable to do anything!
What was my training for?
Why did I break my body over and over again?!
WHY CAN'T I WIN EVEN ONCE?!
COUGH!
I coughed up blood as I tried my best to stand, trying to grit my teeth but failing because my jaw was broken.
DAMNIT.
I grabbed the dirt with all my might to stand...yet my arms and legs didn't listen as my face continued to be buried in the ground.
A dirt-filled face, wounds that could kill, and as I lie here, they are still fighting.
'stand up stand up stand up stand up even if it hurts!
Stand up....'
I thought in my mind over and over again.
Alexander...is now the only one left fighting...
I can hear his groans of pain...The howls of a dying wolf...I can listen to it all yet I can't do anything...
STAND UP GOD FUCKING DAMNITT!
....please
please, this body of mine...listen to me...once again.
Please!

[Kurosaki Ren PoV]
...I can't stand up...
My body... is too injured...I can't even move a lot.
Damn it...the guy that the Tenpesuto No Futaken chose is still fighting, even though he got slammed into the ground so hard.
The silver-haired girl is unconscious...and I don't know about the brown-haired guy.
Damn it...
Stand up...
I tried to rouse up the mana in my body...the darkness that I wielded with Pride.
But it was all for naught as I could do nothing.
...Fine...if I have run out of mana then I will use everything else.
And as I tried to use my hands to get up...a terrifying thought came to my head.
What will I even be able to do?
This monster defeated us all in seconds.
...will I live if I pretend to be dead?
My Breathing accelerated as these thoughts refused to leave my head, the darkness around me rising...
It was about to consume me...but then I snapped out of it.
NO!
I can't give up here!
I am the rank first of Hero academy, the first year rank 1!
I have a duty to uphold!
I raised my hand, intending to grab the Kaminari No futaken, but then....
I Heard a voice.
[Too bad, you had potential but realized it far too late.]
What?
What is that voice?
...and where is my sword, The Kaminari No Futaken?
****
[Alexander PoV]
COUGH!
I coughed a mouthful of blood as my sword nearly fell out of my hands...i don't think I'm even holding it...yet it still remains in my hands.
"Hmph, to think these brats broke of my horn..."
I heard that bastard speak as he made his way toward me.
brats...
I don't think I can fight anymore...but I need to.
I've come this far... I beat Kyle and broke my body during training.
I...
I...
I REFUSE TO LOSE!
*AWOOO!*
Another wolf of tempest exited the Tempesto no futaken but even that didn't do anything.
That Pit fiend blocked it so quickly.
He grabbed my neck...and started to strangle me.
I tried to kick him, punch him but that didn't do anything. Anything...but nothing.
"Oho? Most actually try to free themselves, but you keep attacking."
It mocked me...and I was struggling to breathe.
My neck... it's being crushed.
So...this is how I die...in the hands of a demon?
No...I can't...I'm the student of the man known as the Demon Slayer...I can't die to a random demon...
i can't...
But would I live through some miracle?
Life didn't go that way...never for me.
Please...please...
the grip around my neck tightened but just then...
As If someone heard my pleas...something that distracted..no frightened the pit fiend happened.
In the direction we saw a huge sea of a fire...rose a beam of blood-red fire, that clashed with the barrier that the demons put on the Island.
The fire, its ascent that was stopped by the barrier filled the sky... dyeing everything in red.
The demon let go of me...his expression showing slight amounts of fear as he muttered.
"...such pure Celestial energy..."
I tried my best to breathe...as I made use of the time I had.
"What is a celestial possessing such pure energy doing here?!"
He continued to speak...astonished by the sight and I felt something touch my left hand.
A black blade...appearing near my left hand.
"The main layers should be keeping Celestia occupied! What is a high-ranking angel doing here?!"
I don't know what he is saying...but I know that a system prompt appeared in front of me as the fire disappeared from the sky.
My...hope.
[The Kaminari No Futaken has deemed you fit to be its master.
It wishes to reunite with its sister Blade...do you accept being its master?
Yes/No?]
My chance...
As if the blade had already known I was going to say yes...lightning danced around it.
And I accepted it.
"YES!"
[Congratulations on becoming the master of the twin blades, the Kaminari No Futaken and The Tenpesto no futaken.]
[ You Have been selected by the Monarch of Storms, Godbeast Festul, The Fenrir Of thunder to carry on his legacy, the Legacy of the Storm Wolves.
You have been chosen to restore the Storm Wolves!]
[Wield those blades with PRIDE!]
I picked up th Kaminari no Futakenm and together with the Tenpesto No Futaken...wind and thunder danced around me.
I roused up the remainder of my mana, depleting myself of it.
I grit my teeth and used up everything.
And activated the twin blades Ultimate skill as the clouds began to darken...lightning flashing in the skies.
[WRATH OF STORM RAGE OF SKY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]
[Executing the skill!]
"HAAAAAAA!"
I Screamed with all my might, preparing to kill this bastard in a single strike.
I jumped at him , the ground beneath me breaking.
My Left hand encased in lightning, and my right in sharp wind.
I And just as i was about to strike...The Pit fiend moved.
Appearing in front of me in an instant and attacking me with the power of chaos, straight at my head.
[WRATH OF STORM< RAGE OF SKY has been interrupted.]
I fell far back...depleted of my mana...and my consciousness fading.
"I will deal with you lot quickly so I can kill that celestial with my fellow demons."
It said as it slowly walked towards the others...going to where Olivia and Ren were.
And I soon lost consciousness...cursing myself.
I lost...and I failed to protect them...
