*************

Chapter Begins:

Dementor-Kai's tattered cloak fluttered as the Faceless Sword Spirit hissed.

-First, if you can raise your Correspondence and Breath to 50 Points, regardless of using Buffs, then I have the confidence to let you project the Reality Marble onto Reality.-

Kai's pupils trembled.

Buffs fueled the Stats and they also made it possible for the Contestants to equip Item and Titles.

However, there were some obstacles, some thresholds, that didn't take buffs into account, looking directly into the originality of the Stats.

Reality Marble, and all Grand Magical and Spiritual abilities on this scale, also belonged to such a group of obstacles.

One must not forget that such typical abilities, like Bounded Fields, Reality Marbles, or even Domain Expansion, were neither Skills nor Abilities, i.e. they weren't fueled or restricted by the Systems.

Naturally, the buffs, that were part of the major supplementary accessories for a Contestant didn't work in their cases.

Or that's how it was theorized anyway.

None knew the actual reason.

Kai wasn't sure when he would reach a level to have 50 Points in both Correspondence and Breath.

But, considering his recent buffs, which had pushed two of his Stats above 30, it wouldn't be long.

The Sword Spirit continued as Kai smiled over the fortune.

-Second, my existence,- It hissed. -My one aspect is Limitless. My other aspect is Supreme.

-The Limitless supplements the Supreme, while the Supreme supplements the Limitless, birthing the Parselscript. It is this Script that seals everything in between my two aspects.

-We are the Sealers. We are the Devourers. How could my Individuality differ from yours?

-How could the Imprint cast by my existence on the Vast Cosmos differ from yours?-

His expression didn't show it, but Kai's heart was racing wildly.

Individuality and the Imprint cast on the Vast Cosmos.

Both were the terms Chaos had used to describe Kai's Glitch, Blood Devour, the manifestation of his Individuality.

Kai was already shaking with excitement, his gaze expectant. -You mean…-

-Keke!- the Sword Spirit cackled, looking at Kai. -All Zanpakuto need base swords to release themselves. All, but I. I don't need them.

-All swords, dead or sentient, possess a will. I can Seal this will between my two aspects, devouring their existence. This means…

-I can be Released using any two swords. Keke! As long as you possess two swords, whose wills don't contradict your Demonic Will, then you can use them to bring out my Initial Release.

-Not only you can use the powers of my Released form, then, but I can also devour a part of those swords' powers.

-I am… the Sealer of Swords! Get over here!

-Murasame!-

The Sword Spirit raised its long arm outward and commanded the sword to appear.

Boom!

The silent world shook, and a pillar of blood exploded out of the blood ocean, its height reaching hundreds of meters.

From this blood pillar, a heaven-shaking presence of a sword emanated, making the hearts tremble.

A long Katana blurred out of this blood pillar, tearing through the space.

Shuuu!

A loud, screeching whistle echoed everywhere, and the Katana's hilt landed on the Sword Spirit's left hand.

The moment those long, clawed fingers wrapped themselves around Murasame's hilt, a yellow stroke appeared on the blade, just under the hilt.

This yellow stroke was the same as on Kai's forehead. Yet, it was also different.

If one were to even try to find out what exactly was different between these two strokes, then that person's mind would shatter, crippling his consciousness.

Such was the power hidden within the Parselscript.

Some mysteries… were better not be pried into.

-I couldn't save Afro's Tachi,- the Sword Spirit mumbled. -To increase Murasame's Quality, I infused a part of our Spiritual Awakening, letting it drench in the Blood Ocean. From now on, Murasame's Released form will be called…

-Limitless Murasame!-

An ethereal boom rang out as the Sword Spirit called out the sword.

Kai could always feel a Will inside the sword, a cursed presence. A Will that wanted to curse everyone and everything. Yet, it had never become sentient.

Now, however, this Will was waking up, its level of existence transcending under the might of the Sword Spirit.

It didn't gain true intelligence, Kai could tell.

Even then, he could sense a hint of emotion within the sword.

Suddenly, in Kai's mind, an image appeared — a girl.

This girl was extremely pretty, with long black hair that reached down to her knees.

She had red eyes and was wearing a black top over a black skirt. Her legs had black socks and black shoes, and her hands were gloves as well.

Yet, despite this apparent beauty, the girl's entire figure was covered in cursed black flames.

Her very existence felt extremely evil as if no one was worthy to look at her and only she could show disdain toward all the living.

Kai recognized the girl.

It was the exact image of Akame, the major storyline Character. The sword seemed to have birthed a will in her image.

-Keke! Stunningly beautiful, isn't it?- the Sword Spirit cackled, eying the Katana and its evil presence. -Time is running out… for both of us. You must use the swords to Release me before the Reality Marble crumbles.

-Your first use of Shikai will also open your Reiatsu Vents, letting you access both Reiryoku and Reiatsu.

-It's also possible that the System will recognize your transformation, awarding you those two Stats.-

Kai's breathing quickened. -The second sword…?-

Afro's Tachi was already gone.

So Kai needed another sword to act as the Supreme aspect of the Sword Spirit.

Not to mention, this new sword's will must be in line with Murasame's will, which, in turn, was already in line with Kai's will — both Demonic, through-and-through.

-Keke!- the Sword Spirit cackled. -It's impossible for you to not have sensed its presence when its evil aura is already exciting my lust for it.-

Kai's head slowly snapped toward his right, his eyes landing on a blue-haired figure.

He indeed had sensed it. An evil presence so great that it could engulf the entire blood ocean.

A strength so vast that not even the Shadow Lord had made Kai's heart tremble so.

That's why he hadn't thought about obtaining that sword.

Howsoever would he obtain such a heart-palpating weapon?

-It's powerful. Shockingly powerful,- the Sword Spirit hissed, its tone gaining a rare touch of graveness. -I had sensed it beheading the Supreme Protector in one stroke, along with all life other than Jack Sparrow and William Turner on the ship.-

"What?!" Bitter words exploded out from Kai's mouth in shock. Supreme Protector was dead?!

-There's a seal on the girl's heart, sealing the sword,- the Sword Spirit mumbled. -I will use all the remaining power of your Spiritual Awakening, temporarily increasing your Correspondence and Breath to 50 Points.

-Obtain this sword and call out my name. Release me and you will have the Power you have always so desired.

-Are you ready?-

The tips of Kai's decayed fingers and toes throbbed in excitement. Was he ready?

When had he not been ready?

The Sword Spirit didn't wait for an answer. It could feel Kai's heart, and the murderous intention hidden within it.

The yellow-haired being cackled and then flicked its hand.

In the distance, Moraine the Elegant's hair was disheveled, her entire figure shaking under the might of pressure.

If it wasn't for the evil, reddish-purple mist seeping out from her heart, she would have already burst apart into thousands of bloody pieces.

Yet, it was this mist itself that had brought the dreadful expression on her face, a sense of apocalypse in her heart.

It was then the pressure hammering at her heart suddenly vanished.

It was like a substantial amount of pressure was being generated by a flood, and then the dam's massive gates suddenly burst apart.

BOOM!

With a massive boom, the seal on her heart broke, and the mist exploded from her heart, becoming an evil, foggy pillar, reaching the dark sky.

"No!" Moraine screamed, her eyes red. "It will kill us all! Don't let it out! Not again!"

Kai's eyes widened as he looked at that reddish-purple pillar.

He also heard the screams.

-Save her,- he hissed.

The Sword Spirit instantly disappeared, and when it returned, its one hand was on Moraine's shoulder.

"FREEDOM!"

A colossal voice boomed through the Reality Marble.

"I HAVE FINALLY ATTAINED FREEDOM!"

Under the gazes of Kai, Moraine, and the Sword Spirit, the entire Sky gained a purple hue, drowning all the stars into a purplish sea of fog.

All but the pale yellow star in the hole in the sky.

"What have you done?!" Moraine mumbled, her head down, her entire body shaking under the despair caused by Dementor-Kai. "You have no idea. You…"

The Sword Spirit's grip over her shoulder tightened, making her gulp down the next words.

Kai ran his tongue over his lips, his hazel pupils burning, imagining what was to come. "What is it?" he asked.

"It's… It's an Artifact sealed inside my heart by the Temple of Amon-Gorloth because they couldn't control it," Moraine forced out the words. "An Artifact that is destined to become… a Top-level Rare-grade Named Item.

"It's the Sword of Death.

"It's the Sword of Hell. It's…"

"… Sounga, the Sword of Calamity!"
