Vita is a spell that amplifies the effects of gravity, and it made Kurgan's movements slightly slower.

With Kurgan being affected by Vita and Garfiel with Akra, the chance of victory went up.

At this moment, you refrained from casting any other spells because there was still one more opponent left. Garfiel would surely win at this point, so you needed to save your energy to fight another deadly foe.

Speaking of that other enemy, you looked over at her.

What you saw left you in shock. Elsa was bleeding all over her body, and the wounds would not disappear. 

Even more surprising was the appearance of the unhooded Witch Cultist.

This woman had hair just like Reinhard's, and you could barely make out her blue eyes. This was not a coincidence. If Kurgan was dead, then it would make sense if she was dead too.

Delicately raining blows on Elsa was Theresia van Astrea, Reinhard's grandmother and the former Sword Saint.

'How interesting. Two of the most powerful people in the world, who are also deceased, are attacking you.'

'And we're slowly winning. I guess that all of our training really paid off.'

'I suppose so. However, we will need to discuss various battle tactics and reactions to unexpected situations. If you had not been caught by surprise, this victory would have come sooner.'

'You've got that right...'

You looked over as Garfiel finally landed a solid blow on the side of Kurgan's head.

The fourteen year old smirked and weaved in the air, away from the incoming arm, as he fell back to the ground that he had jumped from.

Kurgan stumbled back, and Garfiel decided to follow up immediately with another attack.

This time, Kurgan was ready for it. From his lower position, he caught Garfiel's outstretched arm and threw him after winding up as if he was a pitcher.

Garfiel sailed through the air, and you panicked as he came crashing towards you. There wasn't enough time to scramble away, so a few cracks came from your body as Garfiel fell onto your body.

The impact and the pain caused by it dazed you, and Garfiel cursed at his recklessness.

"Sorry 'bout that. I got a little excited aft'r gettin' a good hit, an' I didn't get a good hit 'n there." Garfiel slowly picked himself off of you, but he froze as Subaru shouted, "Watch out!"

After his slight hesitation, Garfiel looked back to where Kurgan had thrown him. The problem was, Kurgan wasn't there.

"In the air!" Subaru yelled desperately. "Beako! Now!"

"Minya!" Beatrice exclaimed, casting a purple crystal of death at Kurgan, who had ran and then jumped toward you and Garfiel.

Through a hope-shattering display of athletics, Kurgan dodged all of the crystals.

"Minya! Minya! Minya!" Subaru joined Beatrice in shooting crystals, but he achieved no new results.

'(Y/N), stay there! Trust your shield! He will suffice. With it being affected by Vita, the force of the blow will be lessened, as the initial force will be weaker.

Echidna determined that Garfiel was strong enough to stop Kurgan, so you stayed where you were, letting Garfiel get up with less opposition. He braced himself with his shields crossed across his chest.

Kurgan came down forcefully, but Garfiel's body did not budge. With all of his strength, he did not let Kurgan hurt you or move him.

"I got ya, (Y/N). But this would be a good time ta hit 'im with somethin'," Garfiel spat out through gritted teeth.

"I agree," you replied while preparing a new attack.

This attack would use most of your remaining mana, but that didn't matter. Kurgan needed to be stopped right here, right now.

A ball of revolving light formed around your fist as you stood up, and you shouted, "Rasengan!"

As you went around Garfiel to finish Kurgan, you heard Meili shriek, "No!!!!," but you didn't pay any attention. Taking any attention away from this opponent would be disastrous.

As you stared Kurgan in his ferocious eyes in the moment before his death, your pants felt wet.

You began to smirk, because you hadn't wet your pants in a while, but it didn't matter right now. It only made this moment even more memorable.

'(Y/N)!'

Echidna sounded shocked, and your confusion towards her new attitude only gave way to a stronger confusion when your Rasengan diffused and all of your strength left your body.

As you fell to the ground, you discovered that you hadn't actually wet your pants. 

That warm feeling was blood.

It was your blood, which was running from the middle of your chest.

As you saw this, Garfiel plopped to the ground next to you, a sword through the exact same place that you had been stabbed.

As he fell, you saw that Theresia had been the culprit.

What happened?

Did Elsa lose?

Did both of them suddenly charge at you and Garfiel?

None of those questions mattered because they would not be answered, because everything went black.

For only the second time ever, you died.

Hey guys, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter!

It's crazy to think that (Y/N) has only twice because the only times he died were the times that he didn't have the regeneration ability. 

Well, I'll leave you with that death and see you next time!
