Chapter 933 Start of War
Riveria and Aika gulped down the food in their mouth and hurriedly drank the glass of water left for them. They wanted to ask where they were going but looking at Medusa\'s serious expression, they just waited.
"Kuroka? We\'re ready." Medusa said to herself before a purple Magic Circle appeared in the corner of the room.
Medusa stepped into it and the two scrambled to follow. However, before they could disappear, the rotating runes on the Magic Circle suddenly froze, "Kuroka? What\'s happening?"
And before she could get a reply from the black cat, another voice resounded in the room, "Wait!!!"
The three of them looked at another corner of the room as another Magic Circle appeared. Medusa was about to blast that corner of the room with her own Magic but stopped as she felt the familiar aura coming from it.
Kisuke, in a ghost-like state, appeared once again. But this time, the ghostly appearance also made it to his face, as if he hadn\'t slept for a few months, "Wait! I just finished Riveria\'s Soul Gear!"
"You were able to make it?" Medusa asked in disbelief, thinking that there was no way for him to do it and had already planned to closely guard Riveria while she copied a few Magics and Abilities that were flying around. Recalling something, Medusa contacted the already panicking Kuroka as her Magic was suddenly halted, "Hold on for a second."
Without explaining it further, Kisuke took out a semi-translucent 5-inch cube with a glowing red orb inside it, "Bring this to your chest and you should be able to understand how to use it. Whatever it\'ll take, it\'ll be up to you, but there are basic functions and designs that will also influence its appearance."
Riveria stared at it for a moment before grabbing it and feeling its warmth. As he\'d instructed, Riveria placed it on her chest. But instead of feeling resistance, it went through her clothes and flesh before it entirely disappeared into her body while she could still feel its warmth. Riveria wanted to ask what happened, but her instincts told her what to do.
Putting her hands out and turning the both of them up, a thick book adorned with a red gem and intricate silver lines as a design on its cover instantly materialized along with a silver framed monocle on her right eye and a small silver tiara embedded with a small red gem on the top of her head.
"Great. It looks like it\'s working well. Test it out in the place you\'re going to." Kisuke had already expected the book as a recording device and battery with glasses as the limiter. But as he looked at the tiara, he didn\'t know what it does nor have any idea what it could do, \'I was only expecting a set of two, but for a third one to appear... I wonder what it\'s for and what it symbolizes?\'
Still, he didn\'t voice out his wonderment since that\'d only make Riveria question herself.
Kisuke was about to bid his farewell when he finally noticed Aika who was silently staring at him. Though instead of talking to her, he turned to Medusa, "You\'re also bringing her?"
"I\'m sorry." Medusa could only apologize but she also showed that she has no intention of going back on her decision.
"This is going to be the worst debut ever."
"Sometimes, if you want to show someone reality, it\'s best to show her the worst of it."
Even before sealing her memories, Aika had never killed a person so a war of this scale would absolutely destroy something in her. But since she wanted to be on this side, it was also inevitable for her to see the ugliness of having the power to destroy.
Kisuke then turned back to Aika who wanted to say something but couldn\'t say her words and just stared at her for a few seconds. Kisuke then sighed and patted her head, "Oh well... If you\'re supporting her decision, I won\'t mind." Naturally, he was talking to Medusa.
Aika wanted to shove away the hand of this unknown man but couldn\'t bring herself to do so for some unknown reason.
Kisuke\'s body started to disperse like before and before he fully disappeared, he muttered with a wry smile, "Please go easy on me later." And this time, Aika knew that he was talking to her.
After watching the last of the light disappear, Aika turned to Medusa and Riveria, "Who was that bastard?"
Medusa and Riveria looked at each other and the latter said, "That guy is indeed a bastard."
Medusa, on the other hand, just chuckled and said, "You can pummel him later. For now, let\'s leave."

As soon as they reappeared, what the group saw was five Dragons and one \'Human\' scrambling in the air and destroying everything around them, "W-what\'s going on?" The voice with a hint of fear came from Aika.
Just the shockwave and dust coming to them was enough to destabilize Aika\'s balance even though she could normally take much more of it.
Riveria, meanwhile, was a lot calmer, "Red and White Dragons? And that one, is it Crom Cruach?"
Coming from behind, Kuroka explained, "That\'s Albion and Ddraig, the Heavenly Dragons, their respective imitation, Crom Cruach, and the second generation Ai Dahka, nyaa. Any of their clashes could easily pulverize any normal people, so don\'t approach them."
She then turned to Aika who was shaking from the blasts of terrifying aura coming from all directions, "If you are scared, you could go back. But please do remember that this might be your last chance."
\'Last chance?\' Aika asked herself. She didn\'t know what it meant but she had a feeling that she\'d be going nowhere once she backed down from this. Despite the obvious agitation, Aika still shook her head strongly, "No... I\'m staying. What are we doing?"
Kuroka nodded and explained the situation, "There are currently four battlefronts. The first is that Dragon scramble. No one can really interfere with them and no one would actually want to, so they\'re not really important. The second is the defense against the Hell Alliance\'s army. It\'s a few tens of kilometers away from here. Third is the Alphecca Tyrant capture. They\'re still on the run, but it shouldn\'t be too long before they are trapped. Finally the Red and White Dragon Emperors against the leaders of the Hell Alliance. Where do you want to go?"
Medusa already knew where she would take the two \'newbies\', "We\'ll help with the defense."
"Got it nyaa~" Kuroka then teleported them away before teleporting them back to the Alphecca Tyrant Capture Team. She wondered why the Hell Alliance would do something like this because even if they emerged victorious from this battle, they would have to go against Ajuka and Shiva next and it was clear they wouldn\'t be able to defeat them, \'Last-ditch effort? Securing hostages to bring into the negotiation table? Distraction? Kisuke also refused to participate so he\'s probably already anticipating that.\'
