NovelEnglishIn the instant that Ray flinched, Gerard swings his sword sideways.
When Ray caught it with Sigshesta Gerard laughed as if it was his victory.
“Naive.” (Ray)
“…Wha….” (Gerard)
Ray took the full force of the blow and turned it aside without chipping the blade.
“…..Fuu…..!!” (Ray)
Sigshesta flashes and Gerard ducks just in time to avoid being beheaded.
“Are you thinking that the curse will not work if you kill me in one blow?” (Gerard)
“It’s worth a go.” (Ray)
Gerard attempts to stand back up but Ray does a sweeping kick sending him tumbling to the floor. Since Ray caused no damage there was no damage to return but his posture was broken.
Ray ran away from Gerard but his purpose was not to escape but the shield that Gerard had dropped.
“Kuu….!!” (Ray)
Gerard runs after him but he couldn’t catch up to Ray before the shield was within range.
“…..Haa……!!” (Ray)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUsing his whole body Ray thrusts Sigshesta at Genias and pierces through it.
“How unfortunate.” (Ray)
Gerard laughed graciously at Ray’s words.
“Yes it is because sadly this is your defeat.” (Gerard)
One of the jewels in the shield shattered and Ray suddenly falls forward.
“I told you this earlier but you are too honest. When I said that the curse could only be broken if the shield was broken I was lying.” (Gerard)
“…Ray-san!” (Misa)
Gerard picked the shield up that was lying on the ground.
“It’s useless. If you damage the shield enough to destroy one of the jewels the curse will destroy your origin. His body might be fine but his origin has gone. He won’t come back.” (Gerard)
Gerard turns around to face Misa and starts walking towards her.
“……..In other words.” (Ray)
A voice calls out and it was not a voice Gerard expected to hear.
“If I break the other 3 jewels the curse will be broken?” (Ray)
“…..Wha……!?” (Gerard)
At the moment Gerard turned around three flashes of light shot out and all 3 jewels shattered.
The curse activates and Ray falls to the floor again.
The magic power of Genias disappeared and the gloomy light faded away.
“…….His wounds are healing….?” (Gerard)
Gerard watches Rays hand, back and other wounds heal in astonishment.
“Didn’t you know? Most curses target the origin of the intended victim so the curse momentarily loses its effect when the origin is destroyed.” (Ray)
Ray stands up like nothing had happened and in place of Sigshesta he was grasping a brilliantly glowing holy sword.
“You should be careful around people with more than one origin.” (Ray)
Gerard gulps.
“…Impos…….sible……!?” (Gerard)
Gerard edged away in fear from the man in front of him.
Now that Ray has stopped hiding his origin’s Gerard can see them clearly with his demon eyes.
“……Seven origins…….and the spirit god sword Evansmana…..” (Gerard)
“It was 2000 years ago when I last encountered the curse king. Does he think my plan was a complete success?” (Ray)
Ray quietly readies Evansmana.
The war between Azeshion and Deiruheido should be known to the curse king to some degree but he may not be fully aware of what happened due to fearing detection if he got too close.

Ray thrust Evansmana into Gerard’s heart before he finished talking.
“Guhaa…..” (Gerard)
“It’s a bit embarrassing being told that I’m too honest. Its probably because I’ve been living a lie much longer than you have.” (Ray)
If he puts any more power into Evansmana Gerard’s origin will disappear.
“I’ll ask again.” (Ray)
Gerard looked at Ray with an expression that said he was ready for death.
“Where did you get that other half of the sword from?” (Ray)
Gerard strongly grits his teeth before answering.
“….It’s not possible for me to answer that question……” (Gerard)
Gerard stabs his own sword into his chest.
Quickly pulling Evansmana out Ray casts <Ingaru> but Gerard didn’t revive.
Misa timidly approaches the fallen Gerard but there’s no sign that he’s getting up.
“……Was his origin destroyed…?” (Misa)
Ray shook his head.
“No. It seems he reincarnated.” (Ray)
