Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

Every single piece of metal flying towards the duo froze as Eva waved her hands over the entire place.

The spikes gathered together in the sky as they slowly started taking a concrete shape in the form of a dragon. The metal humans had no expressions on their faces but they stopped their attacks.

Eva looked at this with curiousity before she rotated her hand and threw the entire dragon down. The metal formed dragon shot forward at the speed of lightning as it crashed through numerous metal humans.

It seemed to absorb those it clashed against and grew in size. Soon enough, every single metal human on the ground and been absorbed by the dragon as it rose in the air and did the same with the metal humans there.

[ Now that\'s called power. We couldn\'t do any damage and she wiped all of them in a matter of minutes. ] Lance muttered as Zack had his attention on Eva\'s movements.

She was just moving her hands to control the dragon and ended up killing all of the metal humans that way. She then turned her head in his direction and gave him a wink before bringing the dragon closer to her.

"It feels good to be able to control metals again." Eva muttered as she placed her hand atop the dragon\'s head and displaced all the metals into smaller pieces.

She then took a few seconds to figure out how to open her inventory and put all of the metal there. After that, she flew forward towards Zack and pinched his right cheek.

"Ain\'t I cool?" She asked with a radiating smile, her mood completely uplifted after a long time.

"Yes, you are very cool," Zack replied before staring directly into her eyes. "However, when did you remember about the past?"

"I don\'t remember much to be honest. All the dreams I had are still inside my head, just more real as I remember spending them with you. But the trigger was that position where you protected me."

"Uh…"

"You don\'t remember, do you?" Eva shook her head a little before smiling. She then leaned forward and touched her forehead to Zack\'s.

The latter\'s eyes shrank out of focus as Eva stepped back and made sure that no one would attack them at that moment.

\'It feel good to hold power again,\' She though silently before staring at the sun. \'Now I can hold on my own and not be a burden like this time.\'

"Good to see that everything went as planned. If those maids had succeeded in summoning me, things would have been complicated." Standing a few kilometers away from the beach was a woman with black hair.

She was standing atop a cliff while staring in Zack and Eva\'s direction. The average person could have barely been able to tell that anyone was there but the woman could clearly see the duo.

Her face was covered with a black mask matching the color of her hair as she pushed it a bit up. Her gesture was completely random but she ha gotten used to it.

\'I wonder if I should proceed with the next step just to make sure that they can use their powers easily and fully.\' The woman thought with a sigh as she sat down and closed her eyes.

Despite doing that, she was still able to know what Zack and Eva were doing. She was just waiting for them to be done with their memory sharing session before proceeding to the next step in her plan.

It was one of the most crucial stages till now and she knew that she couldn\'t take a risk in it.

\'Well, I have to do it one way or the other so waiting for some time isn\'t going to do anything.\'

Back at the beach, Zack was seeing the memories of the past that Eva had just given him.

In the memories, he saw the white-haired version of himself.

\'Why do I have so many hair variants? Lance, you remember anything about this?\' Zack asked mentally as he saw his white-haired version flying at the speed of lightning with a sense of urgency clearly visible on his face.

[ Black is your default hair color while you get blue hair when both of us are combined together. As for white… I can\'t remember that. ] Lance replied as the two of them continued to watch ahead.

The white-haired Zack then landed down in the middle of clearing before looking around hurriedly. Zack realized that he had been searching for Eva the same way on the beach which made one thing very clear.

His earlier version was also searching for someone and Zack had a feeling that the someone was Eva.

He and Lance followed the past version of himself who had managed to find a cave deep in the place. His eyes started glowing the same way as Zack\'s before he shot forward inside the cave.

A minute later, he came out with a red-haired woman in his arms. The woman was Eva or her past version as Zack could now recognize her anywhere.

He looked at the two of them hugging each other before a groaning sound resounded through the entire clearing.

Eva\'s grip on the old Zack\'s body tightened as though she was afraid that he might leave her alone. Zack didn\'t do anything like that and instead, summoned Chastiefol.

\'That\'s its true form…\' Zack thought as he saw the golden spear looking different than the normal one.

There were three symbols etched on the blade, a moon for the elves, a leaf for the fairies and finally, a tree for the world tree.

Old Zack swung the spear with perfection as undead suddenly started to rise from the ground. However, he easily slashed their heads off their bodies with the help of his spear as Eva loosened her grip a little.

Zack could only watch this with a slight awe as old Zack even managed to defeat the opponents that attacked him from behind in the air.

[ That was your cool version. ] Lance muttered but Zack didn\'t pay any attention to him. He was instead focused on Eva who seemed to be saying something.

"Why me?"

After hearing those words, Zack and Lance returned to the real world where the real Eva waited for the former.
