ตอน 20: Perfect Cherry Blossom (Finale)
However, the enigmatic force at play seemed to defy even Richard's shapeshifting capabilities. Instead of restoring balance, his disembodied head found itself caught in a surreal limbo, neither completely connected nor fully separated. Just connected by a single vein.
Richard: "I can work with this, Reverse Cursed Technique!"
Richard focused on reversing the peculiar state of his existence. The ambient energy crackled with an otherworldly intensity
After a couple seconds the flesh that should be at the neck had suddenly sprouted and attached Richards head back together
Youmu, turning around, glanced back at him, a hint of surprise in her expression.
Youmu: "Oh?, you survived my Instant Counter?"
Youmu: "I was planning to get my blade after you had died but it seems like I underestimated you"
Richard looks at her with a concerned face
Richard: "Damn It!, Throwing random stuff activated her S+++ Skill"
As Youmu observed Richard's recovery with a mix of surprise and curiosity, Richard pondered a new approach to the battle.
Out of nowhere Richard Gets an idea
Richard: "Wait I've been going about this all wrong, instead of attacking without a direct attack"
Richard: "What if I use an attack that's impossible to dodge in the first place"
Richard facepalms himself
Richard: "It was so simple"
A determined expression replaced his previous concern.
Richard: "System, bring out my best spell card"
[Understood]
[User Used Unlimited Void Spell Card]
A mystical card materialized in Richard's hand, emanating an ominous aura. As he invoked the Unlimited Void Spell Card
Richard then held the spell card in front of him before speaking
Richard: "Cursed Technique : Unlimited Void"
The fabric of reality itself seemed to warp and twist as the Unlimited Void Spell Card took effect. Cosmic energies converged, creating a rift that led into an infinite expanse of brightly coloured lights to fly past them
Youmu attempted to ask what kind of power this was but she found herself unable to move, The flying lights seeming to glow in and out of her eyes as she was stuck in place
then suddenly all the lights flying past stopped moving instantly with a bright white flash, leaving a black hole visible in the background and what seems like white brush strokes appearing everywhere in the background alongside it a couple seconds after the backhoe.
Richard: "HA!"
Richard: "I finally got you!"
Richard was facing towards Youmu
Richard: "You can probably hear me since gojo's domain ability wont work here since this is technically not a domain but me just brining you inside the Limitless ability."
Richard: "I never wanted to kill you but you kind of insisted on killing me, so no hard feeling's"
Richard unsheaves Youmu's katana and raises the sword above his head
Richard: "Hasta La Vista, Baby"
With a swift and determined motion, Richard brought down the katana, aiming for a decisive strike. The blade, gleaming with an otherworldly aura, descended with unparalleled speed. Youmu, still caught within Unlimited Void, could only watch as the lethal blow approached. As the katana descended, a sudden flash of light enveloped the scene.
[Emergency!, Health of user is in Critical condition]
Youmu can be seen behind Richard with both of her swords on her. While nearly sheaving the last one but is holding the position
Youmu: "Your move was impressive, but both swords where in contact with me when you struck me"

------------------------------
Youmu: "And you should know by now how I was able to get out?"
Richard, acknowledging the situation, maintained a focused composure. Youmu's explanation hinted at her unique skill set, a mastery that allowed her to escape seemingly inescapable situations.
Richard: "let me guess... Did you cut it? -_-"
Youmu: "Bingo!"
Youmu sheaves her sword
Youmu: "You are already dead... again"
*Click*
Richard: "Oh no you don't!, you've done this already"
Richard: "shapeshift!"
*SPLAT*
In the blink of an eye, Richard's body exploded into a cloud of blood and entrails, scattering in space. Youmu, unfazed, maintained her composed stance
Youmu: "..."
Youmu: "That took far too long"
------
Richard: "EH!?!, what happened!, where am I!"
Richard looked around him while floating very far into the air and saw a vast and red landscape filled with brimstone building and seemingly inhuman creatures roaming around. To his left he saw a Extremally large building with 9 rings floating around them, each layer of the rings getting bigger than the last
Richard: "Where the hell am I?!"
The large building starting moving into the sandy landscape below him, for the first seven ring's when they entered the ground a loud blaring trumpet sound would play while for the 8th ring there was no sound. and for the last and final ring before it sunk into the ground a large shrine fell out of the sky and landed on top of it. And in that shrine was a figure who emanated shadows that obscured his whole being
???: "-.-. --- -- . / -.. --- .-- -."
Richard: "What the fuck is going on!?!, Who are you?!?!"
Richard felt a strange sensation, as if his very essence was being pulled and rearranged.
*fwish*
Suddenly Richard found himself in front of the shadowy figure unable to move
Richard: "What just happened?"
The mysterious figure appeared before him, now clearer in its features.
???: ".. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- / -.. .. . / - .... . -. / .. / -.. .. ."
???: ".. / .-- .- ... / .--. .-.. .- -. -. .. -. --. / - --- / . -- . .-. --. . / .-- .... . -. / .. / --. --- - / -- --- .-. . / --- ..-. / -.-- --- ..- .-. / . -. . .-. --. -.--"

Richard looks at him blankly
Richard: 'what are you saying?"
The mysterious figure clasped his two hands together while the environment around them started to expand outwards and inwards at the same time. Shadows seemed to dance around and circle this man while he clasped his hands together
Richard: ",I'm so confused!!!, what is going on!?!"
???: "-.. --- -- .- .. -. / . -..- .--. .- -. - .. --- -. / ---... / --- .-.. -.. / - . ... - .- -- . -. -"

Pov: Outside World
-------------------
Youmu: "..."
Youmu: "That took far too long"
Suddenly The spattered mist of blood started to reverse the outwards direction they were going in and shot back into where Richard was sliced, making a big ball of blood suddenly form
Youmu looks over in sadness
Youmu: "How many times do we have to repeat this?"
A barrier shot out of the ball of blood in all direction's at such speeds that not even Youmu could react in time. The barrier went past Youmu, but still contained her and the ball of blood.
Inside the barrier was the same red landscape as before but with the Nine ring building still inside with no shrine in sight
Youmu: "???"
Youmu: "you still have more tricks?"
the red landscape stretched out endlessly, and the colossal building with nine rings floated in its surreal existence. Youmu, confined within the confines of this strange space, watched with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Youmu: "And what is with that Building"
The large building started to move into the sand once more. And Youmu ready's her duel swords in response to the sudden movement.
Youmu: "... its sinking?"
As the first ring entered the sand a loud trumpet began to play The surrounding's immediately caught on fire. including youmu
Youmu: "GAH!!!"
*Jab*
Youmu jabs her sword into her flesh and the burning sensation immediately goes away along with the fire on her
The surreal landscape, now painted in shades of red and flames began to subside, and go away as quickly as it came, while the second ring started to enter the sand
Youmu: "What is this place?, And what was that?"
As the second ring descended into the sandy surface, The second trumpet began to play then the environment underwent another transformation. The landscape seemed to ripple. up and down before the red sand started to dissolve into what seemed to be blood
Youmu: "Is that blood?"
Suddenly the rippling sea of blood started shaking uncontrollably before shooting large amounts of spiked shaped blood into the air. But Youmu cut all the spikes that were aimed at her with expert precision
Youmu: "Is that all?"
*drip*
Youmu felt a sensation on her hand and immediately put her hand to her face and noticed a drop on blood on her hand, not from a wound she had gotten but from above.
Youmu looked upwards only to see a barrage of blood rain swarm downwards towards her
Youmu: "Cheap trick I can easily cut that"
But when Youmu readied herself to cut the rain oncoming to her she found herself unable to move.
Youmu: "Eh? why cant I move?!?!"
Little did Youmu know but that drop of blood had manages to use osmosis to infiltrate through her skin cells to go into her blood stream. The blood then went and took control of her whole body. Stopping her from moving
As the blood rain descended upon Youmu, she found herself immobilized, unable to evade or defend against the incoming threat. The spikes of blood closing in on her vulnerable position.
Youmu: "This trick... clever."
Her keen swordsmanship and agility were rendered useless in the face of this unconventional assault. The blood rain, manipulated by some mysterious force, posed a significant challenge.
Blood starting pouring all over Youmu completely covering her in a red hue. And while this was happening the blood had caused her to lose whatever strength she had in her as she stopped flying, making her fall downwards.
As she reached terminal velocity going towards the ocean of blood below her. She wondered why she was even here. "Why was she even fighting to the death?" "Did I really need to be that harsh?"
*Splash*
Youmu's fall came to an abrupt stop as she plunged into the seemingly endless sea of Blood below. The crimson liquid embraced her, enveloping her senses in an eerie calmness.
The blood rippled and swirled, forming abstract patterns that seemed to echo the mysterious forces at play. Youmu found herself suspended in the fluid, weightless and disoriented.
???: "-. --- - / . -. --- ..- --. .... / . -. . .-. --. -.-- --..-- / -- ..- ... - / . -. -.. / . .- .-. .-.. -.--"
Abruptly The Red Landscape dissipated into nothingness leaving Youmu alive but Unconscious and a fully regenerated Richard 40 Meters away from Youmu.
Richard started moving his hands around his chest, as if to confirm if he is really back
Richard: "Ehh im back?!, Nice!"
Richard looks over to Youmu
Richard: "Wait is she dead?"
Youmu starts to slowly start accelerating back towards the earth due to gravity
Richard contemplates something before deciding
Richard: "I don't need to worry about her right now, I need to get back already, Reimu and Marisa must be worried"
[Warning! User has 1 mana left]
Richard looks over to the notification with worry
Richard: "Damn!, I need to teleport back fast"
*fwosh*
As Richard teleported back to his destination, leaving the edge of space behind, Youmu continued her descent towards the earth. Youmu's unconscious form gradually approached the ground, and just as it seemed she would collide with the surface just about a inch before she hit the ground a gap had opened beneath her.
Far away, Richard found himself back in front Of Marisa and Reimu. But Richard's Sense of worry for them was unfounded as he spotted them sleeping on the ground with a knocked over deck of uno in between them
Richard: "How long were they waiting for me?"
[Warning! User's Mana has hit 0]
Richard After having received this message immediately falls to the floor in front of the sleeping duo. His head landing first near Reimu's Nose
Richard: "Zzz"
*Sniff* *Sniff*
Reimu stirred awake, her eyes blinking open as she registered Richard's scent being near her.
Reimu: "Huh? Richard, you're back..."
Reimu gives a good look over Richard.
Reimu forms a creepy smile on her face
Reimu: "hehehe..."
Reimu: "And your so vulnerable to cuddling right now."
Reimu Scowls
Reimu: "But I have this damn incident to solve. And little time because I was waiting"
Reimu then heads through the door leaving Maris and Richard behind. She was moving in a quick and rushed matter.
---------------------
Richard Jolts upwards on a extremally comfy bed and looks around only to notice something attached to his side
Richard looks over to the side of him to notice that Reimu had her arms wrapped around him while she and him were sleeping
Richard: "Reimu wake up you are grabbing me in your sleep again"
Reimu stirred awake, her eyes blinking open as she registered Richard's movements and words
Reimu: "... fine"
Richard suddenly jolts in surprise after remembering something important
Richard: "Hey what happened to the incident?!?!"
Reimu looks over to Richard
Reimu: "Ah!, I solved it while you were asleep."
Reimu: "Speaking of that. I got you a souvenir from over there"
Reimu pulls a wooden sculpture of him out of a drawer at the side of their bed
Reimu: "Ill explain the story later but there was a big tree and I permanently borrowed some wood from that and made this!"
Richard looks at the sculpture and analysed its features. Noticing it looked like a more handsome version of himself
Reimu: "I made it look exactly like you"
Richard looks at her while thinking with a curious look in his eyes
Richard: 'Does this woman really think I look that good in her head?'

{A/n here, or should it be Blender? I don't know , but anyway I had to do the random Mc powerup trope(except its not a powerup but ya know what I mean)}

{Oh... You again}
AU Richard: "hmm???? what do you mean "Oh... You again"?!?!?!"

Vote here:
1) Start moon ark right now(there will be 2 arks consecutive in a row STRAIGHT after this). And I'm not even sure if I will continue after those arks since I may complete the series after that last ark
2) Have some "Filler" chapters next, not really filler since you will still be able to donate and the story can still be effected. if this is picked ill probably make the next chapter about Richard and Reimu doing stuff. Then after that maybe he does some mischief. Who knows. This is basically the better quality in the long run option
-
{DONATION PARAGRATH, will double with last chapter and the both will be donated next chapter}
-
{Also if you want too, please give me some Honest reviews, if you got a problem with the series then I will try to fix it if you bring it up. Except the wait time for the next chapter. because I'm a student and I study, play basketball and socialize with my friends so that does not leave a lot of time for this. and I'm not willing to minimize one of the things I listed since... well I don't need to explain}
-
{send me more comments and gifs since it makes my brain give the good chemicals}
