Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume2 Chapter7 Draft (section)

===Part 4===

(—What?)

Startled, Fianna raised her face from the girls she was treating.

<!--199-->
At that moment, there was a dazzling flash of light produced by a deafening explosion.

She reflexively closed her eyes, but was struck by the fragments of rubble that the blast created.

...Before long, the thunderous sound disappeared.

"U..."

She moaned in pain and slowly opened her eyes—

In front of her the injured Kamito was slowly falling down.

"...Ka-Kamito-kun?"

"...Fia...na... are you alright?"

Kamito stabbed Terminus Est into the ground and tried to stand up from his knees.

His academy uniform, which was an excellent defense, didn’t survive the point-blank explosion and was shredded.

He seemed to be suffering great pain and cold sweat was flowing down his forehead.

Fianna quickly surveyed her surroundings.

Ellis and her two female comrades were still on the ground and were in no condition to stand up.

Claire was injured and had lost consciousness and Rinslet was still stuck to the wall.

Then she saw Jio Inzagi slowly moving to their group.

—Almost like a death god.

"That's your weakness. I don't care whether it was subconscious or not, but, while we were fighting, you have been continuously taking care not to get the fellows behind you in danger."  

<!--200-->
"Fianna...back down."

He commanded the girl, who was about to approach.

"Kamito-kun!"

There was no way he could fight with those injuries.

He also couldn't efficiently use his elemental waffe, and it was a hopeless situation even at best, yet, despite everething—

"I do not want to lose important things— never again."

Kamito looked straight at Jio and stood up.

There was no hope in his eyes. What was dwelling inside his pupils was dark despair.

And yet, he slowly rose to his feet.

This was the boy, who was once called the {{Furigana|Strongest Blade Dancer|Ren Ashbell|margin=13}}.

"..."

Jio shrugged, as if he lost interest in the fight.

And then, told him in a cruel voice.

"—I see. Well then, die."

The spirit seal all over his body glowed, and black fog coiled around his right hand.

"{{Furigana|Death Spirit|Thanatos|margin=13}}— it is one of the strongest I have. I received it from your contracted spirit."

"My... contracted spirit...?"

Kamito muttered. His throat was getting incredibly dry.

<!--201-->
"...Don't tell me...it was Restia—!?"

Jio moved his fingers, which ware clad in the deathly fog, closer to Kamito, who couldn't move sufficiently to evade, but just before the thief managed to touch the boy—

Fianna brushed back her long black hair, and quickly stood up.

"Hey, could you please not touch my things so thoughtlessly?"

"...Ah?"

Jio opened his mouth in shock.

"...Fianna?"

Kamito gazed at her face with a dumbfounded expression as well.

"Move aside, Kamito-kun."

Fianna calmly stood before Jio and blocked his way.

"Hey, is something wrong with your head, ojou-sama?"

"Watch your mouth, who do you think I am?"

Fianna glared sharply at Jio, who sneered in response.

It was like that time four years ago when she stood before the Calamity Queen, blocking her way.

"Fianna, you idiot, run away!"

Claire, who crawled out from the mountain of rubble, shouted.

Fianna slowly shook her head—

(You protected me— That's why this time, I'll protect you!)

"—I'll tell you my name, Fianna Ray Ordesia, the Ordesia Empire's second royal princess!"<!--these are the funny ones, but we'll make them dialogs I guess-->

"—I am a punisher, an impartial enforcer and one who hands down holy judgment in the king's name!"

At that moment, dazzling light flashed from Fianna's bosom.

Yes, the oath she shouted just now was indeed— the spirit's releasing keywords.

She quickly untied the string at her bosom, and a shiny red stone tumbled down into her palm.

It was a blood red spirit crystal that was processed like a comma-shaped jewel.<ref>See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magatama Magatama].</ref>

"No way, that's... don't tell me, the Blood Stone!?"

Claire eyes widened when she saw it.

"You witch...!"

He might have felt some sort of instinctive threat, as Jio released Thanatos at the girl before him—

"Come out, thou, the sword of judgment that buries the darkness— Sacred King of Destruction «Magna Carta»!"<!--this is actual dialog-->

The red spirit crystal exploded.

There was a dazzling flash of and an enormous pillar of light went through Jio Inzagi.

And then, with a thunderous sound, the tunnel's ceiling collapsed.
