"Thirdly, what does it have to do with me who you are good with or who is bad? As long as I knock you and Pretty Cure down, everything you say will be mine!"
Why are you negotiating terms with me? You are so ugly under the mask that you are so ugly that I am the one you can control. Am I someone you can control?!
"Arrogant!" Before Dyspear could respond, Kurozu, who had just recovered, jumped up from the ground angrily. "How dare you talk to an adult like this, in such a loud tone, I don't think you can do it!"
I was just attacked by you! If you really want to take action, you are better than me if you come out with all your strength and disappear——
In the blink of an eye, Kurozu realized that where Ash was originally standing, there was only a gust of wind, and then he reacted as his body staggered, followed by a belated step of severe pain in his back.
Another punch hit the opponent's abdomen and sparks flew! Kurozu, who changed from hunched over to kneeling on the ground, flew out of a hole in his back with a black feather.
No... no, I have to release my true form power! By the way, those elves happen to be here, so I might as well take advantage of this opportunity——
"Peng!"
A punch containing "Demon Emperor Power" struck from top to bottom, knocking Kurozu, who was transforming into some kind of giant raven, into the ground along with his power.
Then he stepped on the chest of Kurozu who screamed in agony. His blurry vision was filled with the demonic bat mask.
"When did insects dare to come out and interrupt?"
And do you think I can't see that you plan to take action against my citizens?
Amid the cruel cold sound, Ash pressed his feet down harder. And when the huge Kiva emblem appeared on the cracked ground behind Kurozu, facing the soles of the feet that were raised and then violently prepared to step down, the last thing he saw was a flash of light in front of his eyes.
"Boom!"
"Tsk." Fortress of Despair and Ash tutted in displeasure when they saw Fortress of Despair being trampled into pieces of enamel glass by his own foot before he could even react.
But forget it, do you still need to care about bugs?
"You!" Seeing Ash's atrocities against his men, Dyspear in the projection stood up from the throne angrily. "You have to look at the owner even if you beat the dog!"
"I told you, this is just a talkative insect, don't insult the dog."
The calm tone was Mugen's arrogant attitude. Only then did she realize that the other party didn't even take her seriously, and the previous promise was actually purely perfunctory.
"Ash King——Do you want to regard my Dysdark as an enemy and want to declare war on me?"
"King, huh?"
Ash raised his finger and pointed at the projection in the sky.
"There is only one king, and that's me! Black Night Kingdom's KING - Ash!"
"You——"
When the last part of Fortress of Despair disappeared into the broken glass, the witch's furious image disappeared into the air without even having time to say harsh words.
"Humph, next time you should come to see me in person."
"Since we didn't use the power of purification, we directly destroyed Fortress of Despair's..." Seeing Ash approaching and his hand that was approaching with the same energy as before, Yao quickly closed his eyes in fear.
"...?!" But the expected pain did not come. On the contrary, when she opened her eyes, she saw that her injuries and strength were quickly restored by the injection of "Demon Emperor Power".
This is... such a warm feeling, such a magical power! Why do I feel healthier now than before the battle?
"Your ambition was very good before, and you are worthy of your reputation as a legend."
In front of the girl, Ash, who let go of his hand and pulled away, once again drew a fighting stance with his hand that made the opponent extremely nervous.
"And you are very strong and don't want to give up no matter what, right?"
What... what do you want to say?
"I like it very much! I like your strength and will very much. I like the flash of that will in the collision of hope!"
This is exactly what my citizens originally had but are gradually losing. I didn't expect to see it here again today. It's really an unexpected gain.
I admit that I underestimated you before. If possible, I would like to watch it a few more times. Maybe I can help them find the things they originally lost?
"So, now as long as you don't give up, attack me!"
Listening to the other party's words, Haruka, who had no idea what the other party meant by helping his enemy instead, could only clenched his fists again to protect the friends and dreams he was protecting.
"The beautiful brilliance of the constant struggle between hope and despair...no matter how many times."
I don't know what you plan to do though.
"I will give you the opportunity to shine!"
But if you give me a chance, then I will take advantage of your arrogance to completely defeat you!
Chapter 9 The land Ash wants
"Ah... ahhh... what?"
The fist that hit Ash's breastplate was like a soft cotton flower, weakly released and then paralyzed on it.
There is no more power left.
I have no extra mood anymore...
Even the mood of resistance and escape disappears after appearing.
Already...Kanata, king... Please come, who will end all this, save us...
Haruno Haruka finally let go of his hand, finally let go as if he was pitiful, and fell down from the afterglow of the battle that he couldn't even remember how many times he fought. With a muffled sound, Haruno Haruka fell limply to the ground and looked at the two companions lying next to him. His gradually dilated pupils were trembling violently.
The originally gorgeous dress was in tatters and stained with dirty dust. Compared with the name "Princess", she was now dirtier than the "village girl" rolling in the ground.
However, she was left trembling with all this, and she no longer even had any worries.
If you are defeated, then Pretty Cure's beautiful and strong Xin will still have the courage to fight back and work hard to catch up.
Countless times, it was like being completely crushed as a joke, not to mention the anger of the counterattack... The huge gap in strength had already made her gradually numb during the battle, and she could not even raise the hostility towards the opponent.
"Yes, you persisted 36 times."
In the previous battle, no matter how Cure Flora fell, as long as she still looked at him with that unyielding gaze, Ash would inject "Demon Emperor Power" to restore her body's injuries and strength, and he would never tire of watching the way she continued to shine.
At the beginning, even though the girl was injured and her dress was stained with blood, she still insisted on punching him and letting Demon Emperor Power flow all over her body over and over again to heal the wound. Her strength and hope seemed indestructible.
However, while fighting again and again, falling down and standing up again, even Haruka himself gradually began to become pessimistic in the process of cheering himself up, and could only repeat his tenacity in his heart over and over again.
'I am fighting this world to protect everyone's dreams. '
The energy I mustered up over and over again became paler with the number of repetitions.
Until countless injections, the Demon Emperor Power that she had accumulated in her impatience began to naturally flow and circulate in her blood. Now that she is placed intact in the kiva world, she will definitely be regarded as a royal person by Fangire.
Haruka has become stronger, and Tanide's will to evolve through constant battles has indeed made her stronger!
Then again and again, he was suppressed by Ash with absolute power...
'I am... why are you fighting here? '
As a result, the firm hope that belonged to Pretty Cure was corroded and wandered into confusion as the battle never stopped.
'What am I fighting for? '
Even because of her "dream", Haruno Haruka is the kind of woman who tries to strengthen her mind countless times to keep herself from giving up, but before her body reaches its limit again and again, she is not "desperate" but "collapsed".
This is extremely cruel... cruel, just like killing a person and then resurrecting him, and then repeating this cycle countless times.
Only then did she truly understand that it was not arrogance that Ash took the initiative to give strength and opportunities to her enemy.
He just simply believed in his own strength and put it into practice.
"No, I don't want to fight anymore...!"
This is their Princess Pretty Cure first defeat.
It was also the first time, and it was a failure that could be described as despairing.
Or indeed, it is despair itself.
"It seems that this number is your limit now."
Although she still stood up, her legs were shaking to the point of being forced to this point after losing her friend. Ash could see her strength even with her eyes closed.
The inexplicable appearance, the arrogance of the elves, the inexplicable conquest, the inexplicable enemies and powerful...
"Why are you doing all this?!"
If you want to conquer, what do you want??
Whether it was about the Black Night Kingdom or his affairs, Haruka now had too many questions to ask, but she could no longer even clench her fists and could only walk in his direction like a wandering spirit.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? You asked why... huh?" Just as Rider was shaking his head in disappointment, he caught something from the corner of his eye and suddenly woke up. With a green light on his palm, he knocked the approaching remote camera to the ground.
"It hurts... ugh?"
The girl who released the transformation while crying in pain rolled around on the ground twice more, and happened to see the other person holding his hand on the ground, carefully protecting a Kotori that was almost stepped on by her.
"That's..."
What I didn't see was that he wanted to protect the flower just now? Could it be that...
Did I actually misunderstand him? No matter how scary the appearance is, there may be a gentle and kind heart——
The next second, the splashing soil and roots stuck to the girl's white face, and the nameless flower that was pulled out casually lay quietly in front of the wide-eyed girl with its bent stems, merging with the soil and scattering pieces.
Ash carefully held the ball of soil, kneaded it carefully, came close to smell the taste inside, and even picked up a small piece and threw it into his mouth with open jaws and sharp teeth. Not long after, along with the sound of chewing, a long string of hearty and genuine laughter came from Ash!
"Hahahaha! That's great, that's great!" There was no trace of the brutality and roughness of the battle. Compared to the Princesss on the ground, Ash was holding the dark soil like a treasure. "The land here really contains the power that can give birth to life!"
Ash doesn't have such a tender heart to appreciate flowers.
He cares more about the land he has reserved.
Found it, finally found it!
In the half year as the king of the Black Night Kingdom, Ash has conquered three worlds in order to obtain land for his subjects to live on, but the situation in these worlds is really difficult to describe. To be honest, he had lost all hope before coming to Earth...
Until I saw the blue of the earth!
There are also these Pretty Cures full of hope and sparkle!
The meaning of everything was completely different in front of Ash.
"And your eyes!" The girl on the ground was startled by the sight of the suddenly excited Ash, but Ash didn't mind at all and became even more excited. "Yes, there is that light in your eyes that can still shine when facing Mirai!"
It's the same light you had when you were still able to resist me!
This "light" that represents the soul full of full will is definitely not something that can be bred in a barren world!
"This land is tolerant and can breed life and light!"
Wanted!
No matter what, I want this world!
In order for the citizens who once lived in a world like "Gensokyo" to regain a free and happy life, the world you live in!
It's the land I want no matter what!
Chapter 10 The light of a girl's dream
I am not King! I am Black Night Kingdom myself, and the elven citizens who surrender to me are the countless gears that make up my country!
The people should dedicate everything to me, and of course I want my country and people to live a better life than any other country! No matter which world people are from, they should be extremely envious when they see it. This is the same natural thing!
Only when all the citizens respect and respect me more can it prove that I am absolutely correct and great as a king, right?
"Get up, get up quickly!"
Ash, who had tormented Haruka's determination to pieces through patience, had already achieved the victory he said, and it was time to reap the fruits of victory. But after seeing the land here, Ash had new ideas and quickly pulled up the fallen Yao.
"Haruka...Haruka!"
Reluctantly opening her extremely heavy eyes, Nan, who was unconscious, saw the scene of the bat monster "pleading" to Haruka.
What else do you want to do to us!
"Hey! Precure, what is that light in your eyes?" Ash's eyes were full of curiosity as he shook the shoulders of the girl who was frightened by her own enthusiasm and was a little overwhelmed. "What supports you to continue to fight against me, what supports you to be able to shine like that?"
I have seen similar light in the elves, but this light gradually disappeared over time...
I want to find the source of this light! Only in this way can they and my Black Night Kingdom shine even more!
