-Spiritual Kinship- 2nd half

Chapter 30 - Cosmic War part 2

"—<Unlock>."

Mukuro stabbed her key-shaped angel <Michael> into the void. As she turned, a passageway was instantly unfurled in that space, forcefully drawing the many heaps of floating rock and rubble machinery around Mukuro.

"Evanesce." 

When Mukuro declared that, in a split second, multiple gates were unlocked in a way that enclosed the twins.

The projectiles which had vanished, flew out from the gates simultaneously. It was an endless barrage from all directions, leaving no blind spot unharmed.

However, Syouji and Shidou were not just going to stand around and let those projectiles hit him. They raised their left and right hand respectively towards the front and declared.

"<Banishment>"

"<Zadkiel>...!"

From Syouji's left hand, multiple orbs were ejected and honed in on the incoming debris, teleporting them away as they touched. Whereas, frigid ice crystals danced around Shidou's surroundings, beginning to take the shape of a rigid shield. 

The incoming debris colliding with the chunks of frozen water created shock waves pounded into the fragments of frost. Witnessing the event, Mukuro indistinctly narrowed her eyes.

"Hm, thou art able to command other Angels verily. All the more resentful. Art thou in sooth a mortal being?"

"I've already told you the truth. It's your choice if you want to believe me or not. We're the sons of the first Spirit. And we've come to reach you no matter what."

Syouji gazed into Mukuro's eyes as Shidou took a deep breath, depicting an illusion within his mind. With the songstress <Gabriel>, Shidou poured all his might into his voice.

"Go!" 

While empowering himself, Shidou threw Syouji towards the floating Mukuro at a high velocity. Yet, at the next moment—

"......Eh?" Syouji stopped in midair as several human figures draped in a suit of machinery suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"My apologies, this Spirit belongs to us." The blonde girl retracted her laser saber as she spoke in an apathetic tone.

"You're..." Syouji murmured.

"You're that guy that busted out [Material A]...!" Samaelpointed out as the others gasped.

"You! We were in so much trouble with Ellen because of you!" Samir shouted with resentment in his voice.

"I'll cut you up just for that!" Samuru declared brandishing his laser saber.

"You all should calm down. We can't make any more mistakes." Samson said that while looking into Syouji's eyes.

At that point, Syouji heard a voice in his head.

—[...Be careful. Try not to overdo it.] 

Shinji said in a tired voice.

—I don't plan to go down without a fight, Shinji.

—[That's not what I am concerned about.]

At that point, Syouji remembered who they were. That was Artemisia Bell Ashcroft, one of DEM's industries Wizards, along with the <SAMM> units.

It looked like they had come to the cosmos along with <Goetia>. Regardless, Syouji was unable to perceive their presence until it was too late. 

Artemisia's sword took aim and rushed towards Syouji.
