At last, the belt's "eyes" flashed with a dark purple light, and a voice rich with a beastly aura rang out.

Countless streaks of purple lightning ran wildly over Kashu, gradually solidifying into armor that armed itself over his body.
Perhaps because of the effect Kashu's transformation brought about, the weather around the area instantly turned overcast, dark clouds blanketing the sky. Yet not a single drop of rain fell. Purple lightning only kept flashing, while rumbling thunder continued to resound through the entire cloud layer.
Rumble—!!!! Rumble—!!!! Rumble—!!!!
"This... this is..." Yuki Anju stared in disbelief at Chievil before her, illuminated by the purple lightning. No matter how she thought about it, she could not connect the person beneath that armor, controlled like a puppet, with the Kashu from before—the one who had been curious about everything, making her both angry and amused.
Rumble—!!!! Rumble—!!!! Rumble—!!!!
"You... you... just what... are you... Ka... shu..."
[Take a good look, miss. This is the God-chosen one, Kashu's... truth!] Naraku spread his arms and grinned as he spoke. Seeing the disbelief in Yuki Anju's eyes, the pleasure in his heart had not stopped from beginning to end. Then, with a vicious expression, he ordered Chievil, [Kill her!]
"...Yes."
Crimson Oni
"...Yes."
Chievil nodded lightly, then slowly turned around. He took slow, steady steps, walking unhurriedly toward Yuki Anju, who had fallen sitting on the ground, her eyes filled with terror and shock. At the same time, he placed his hand on the driver at his belt and rotated it ninety degrees horizontally to the left, revealing the sword hilt hidden inside.
—Shing.
Chievil gripped the hilt and pulled hard. The belt detached from his waist, and piece after piece of small arrowhead-shaped metal plates tightly joined together, becoming a rapier.
—Chchch!
