Chapter 22:

The Return of Greed

EVEN WITHOUT GREED, the demonic Kairos didn’t stop. Sharp claws stretched from his fingers as he raised his arms before bringing them down to slice me into pieces.

“Fate! Up there!” shouted Envy.

I evaded Kairos’s claws and looked up. The black shield in the sky had transformed into the black scythe. Not only that, it was already morphing into the second level secret technique, Deadly Inferno.

So Greed can do that even at a range this far from his wielder, huh?

If Deadly Inferno even grazed its target, it’d be a killing blow. My father had stopped the attack with ease, but the same feat wouldn’t be so simple for me.

“Now! Finish this!”

“Kairos…”

Even after all this, I hesitated. We were in the spiritual plane, in the depths of Gluttony. Was it really okay to kill Kairos here? Perhaps this was a battle from which there was no return for Kairos.

Deadly Inferno was not going to wait for me to make up my mind, though. It spun straight for me at high speed.

“Fate!” cried Envy.

The whirring of the scythe grew closer as it sliced through the air. I faced my foe head-on.

“Sir Kairos…” I said.

The next instant, I ran the black gunblade through his heart. The black scythe missed me by mere millimeters a moment later, its blade biting deep into the ground behind me.

The demonic Kairos began to crumble before me. His intimidating horns, his flesh-ripping claws, the sharp light in his eyes—all of it disintegrated as if sublimating into the air. Kairos’s memories flashed through my mind, though it was less memory and more a sensation.

It was as if I were Kairos. But the feeling was fleeting, fragmentary, and unclear. It was even hazier than what I had gone through to free Myne from her past, and much remained obscured as if by fog. All the same, I felt it. I felt that I had become Kairos.

“We’re finally…linked…” muttered Kairos.

“Kairos! What is this?!”

Kairos had returned to his usual form, but his deterioration continued. He was disintegrating, blowing away like sand in the wind. I hadn’t been able to do anything for him.

“Do not mourn this passing. I was dead anyway. Besides,” said Kairos, reaching out with a weak hand to push a finger at my chest. “I’ll always be here. And that will never change.”

He’d told me that we were connected through Gluttony. That’s what I thought he was talking about. Kairos must have known this because he shook his head.

“You’ve always been kind of thick, haven’t you?” he said. “Then again, that’s probably the reason you’ve made it this far. It’s why Greed has had such a hard time with you.” Kairos looked over at Greed, now back in the form of its black sword, and chuckled. “I’m returning to you, Fate. You’ll understand then.”

“Sir Kairos?” I said.

“I told you to knock it off with the ‘sir’ stuff. We’ve come this far, and you still insist on titles. Jeez. Anyway, don’t lose Greed again, you hear?”

“Understood.”

“I’m sorry that everything rests on your shoulders.
