User:An absolute moron/Tyrannos

Nangou, Edelweiss, Xiaoli and Xiaoshu had fought multiple Elias clones and suffered injuries. Xiaoli heals her injury with Fuyumi's “Yukionna Hagoromo” and Xiaoshu regenerates using his biomass manipulation. Edelweiss didn’t receive injury as serious as Xiaoli or Xiaoshu, but she’s bleeding at various places on her body. Her armor had been covered with excess mana which made it as durable as a S-rank technique, but now it’s damaged. It is difficult even for Edelweiss to fight a significant number of Elias clones at the same time. Nangou is the most exhausted with half of his face burnt and he lost one eye. But despite his serious injury, he believes it was worth it since they have arrived at their destination. They are in front of an underground storage shelter in the US military base they infiltrated. The entrance is a huge steel wall and Xiaoli makes a huge hole on it by launching a fist powered with “Kheimon Drakainathea”. The inside is like a hangar for an airplane and the throne with “Tyrannos's” corpse is in the center. The last time Nangou saw “Tyrannos” was when he was with Iemon, Bright, Shiratsuki and Fragrence in the raid against “Tyrannos” during the war. Xiaoli asks if the corpse is the famous pseudo-diabolos “Tyrannos” Alarane Malphas and why he’s dead. Edelweiss replies he’s not dead and is actually kept on ice, sealed by Iemon. The European broadsword stuck in the corpse is one of Iemon's two techniques, his SSS-rank technique “Hawthorn (sword of sealing tree)”. The battle against “Tyrannos” during the war ended with his life sealed and frozen using the technique “Hawthorn Mahapadma (eternal seal of the ice tree)” continuously since then, in exchange of one of Iemon's techniques which is said to be half of him. As a result, Iemon lost half of his power or even more and left the frontline. Suddenly, Islands appear with about 30 Elias clones who immediately surround the four people standing near the throne. The current situation is bad because if they fight now, Nangou who is injured and exhausted will definitely die. Nangou all of a sudden recklessly charges towards Islands while screaming his name, which surprises Edelweiss. Three Elias clones are blocking Nangou’s path but Edelweiss intercepts them with three swords. She slashes the three Abraham clones and puts them under control temporarily with her technique “Scarred Order (subjugation by violence)”, which allows her to have strong command rights over opponents that she injures. She then makes the three Elias clones to go after the other Elias clones that try to stop Nangou. This allows Nangou to jump straight towards Islands and pins him to the floor with Nangou’s device piercing Islands’ shoulder. Edelweiss, Xiaoli and Xiaoshu feel a little relieved because they can overcome the situation if they have taken the enemy leader hostage.

Nangou who is strongly irritated shouts at Islands, asking him where is “Tyrannos'” sword. This causes Edelweiss and Xiaoshu to realize that the raven black long sword covered in blood, “the Demonic Downfall Sword, Dainsleif” is missing from the corpse. Suddenly, Islands’ ribs come out of his body and pierce Nangou’s body. Nangou realizes the Islands in front of him is actually a magical beast that acts as a decoy. The face of the decoy splits in two from the top of the head to the chin, becoming one huge mouth and starts to laugh. He explains that while Nangou was busy fighting the Elias clones, Islands had already left for Japan. He’s not interested in the US’ agenda and wants to fulfill his goal in case the US invasion of Japan fails. Nangou asks what Islands’ goal is, and Islands replies that he wants to create the strongest life form in history. Islands thought he could do it if he used “Tyrannos'” genes and Elias was created for that purpose. However, Elias is incomplete and is just a magical beast like Islands’ decoy. Spiritually, Elias can’t be called human and is no different than a machine. Despite having strong abilities, Elias doesn’t have a Akamanah's ability to overcome fate. In order to reach the ultimate stage, it is necessary to be born into this world as a person. Islands needs the “ultimate soul” and the “ultimate body”. The “ultimate soul” can be extracted from “Tyrannos's” "true" technique and demonic sword, but the “ultimate body” is difficult to obtain since it requires a “maternal body” that can carry a strong body. Islands didn’t know where to find it…until he saw the end of the Twenty-Six Martyrdom and later the battle at Onimiya through Elias's eyes. Edelweiss and Xiaoli realizes what Islands is after, but suddenly a huge rumbling is heard. Islands says he has no use for the corpse anymore now that he has retrieved “Tyrannos's” soul and so will bury it together with the four of them. The corpse was used to lure the four into a trap that even Akamanah might not be able to withstand against. The ceiling of the hangar located 20 meters underground collapses and the crushed bedrock and sediment flow come down, crushing everyone inside; however, before hand, the loud shattering of ice and steady rising can be heard behind them from...
