Well leo is a bastard so it's a bit of payback right now. Go Zarc

Thank you for this, I hate that bald old idiot so much and I can never forgive him for what he's done. I like stories where he's properly punished for his crimes.

All this could have been avoided if a certain boofhead had just left well enough alone.

Some small grammar errors were made, but this manages to match what I thought about Leo in the recent episodes pretty well.
If a fourth of the devil is near you, and you want him dead, why keep him alive, why teach him to murder people, why encourage his insanity?
Why aggravate the other fragments of the devil, why treat them with anything such as a fair spectacle?
Leo has jeopardized more souls than Zarc did.

Wow! I have to agree with EVERYTHING that Zarc just said. Fusing the dimensions to get back Ray despite the fact that fusing the dimensions would also bring back Zarc? It really was a stupid, selfish plan since BOTH Ray and Zarc had been split when the dimensions were split. (Shakes head) I gotta admit I would like to see you continue this, just to see what Zarc ends up doing to Leo (or maybe that's just the side of me who really can't stand Leo. Eh. Whatever).

Either way, this was a good oneshot. Good job.

epic! like the story really much. it is fitting. I am agreeing with zarc, he was the monster and rather selfish. wonder if that is why Ray doesn't show lol

Awesome Story,Man! :D

Good job

A few grammatical errors, but otherwise an amazing story! You portrayed the disillusioned Leo wonderfully.

It's so beautifully ironic how Zarc, a LITERAL monster, is the one that finally got the fact that he's just as bad a person as he is through Leo's thick skull and that he, of all people, called him out on the atrocities he committed, the people he hurt and the lives he's ruined.
The parallels you made, or maybe even brought to light, between the two and how Leo starts to realize that as well is what really makes this story work.
Not to mention, Zarc downright saying Leo rendered Ray's sacrifice worthless.

And another thing, this line:
"What did you think was going to happen Akaba? You invade the dimensions, kill my reincarnation, take Ray's fragments and everything is all Smile World from there?"
I love it. I love this line and I love this story.

Great one short. I am expect something like this to happen.

All that was missing was a 'Thank you, Leo, for ultimatly causing my revival by driving my reincartions together by kidnapping those girls.'

I really do hope that Zarc gives a similar speech in the anime. It is Leo's fault that Zarc took over Yuya's body when he absorbed the others, and even if he hadn't revived, it wouldn't had changed the fact Leo had caused so much destruction and suffering in his crusade to get Ray back.

cool

Yeah... What was he thinking?
This is how prophecies are usually fulfill, and now we have to deal with card game satan.
Good work, loved the Hell on Earth imagery and Leo's freak out, pretty reasonable given that he is standing before a literal devil. And the fact that the devil is making reflect on his actions, just perfect.
But now I'm afraid of what may come next out of Arc-V... Or what doesn't...
So until then, T1.

So much fun X3

I really liked your characterization of Zarc

This. Is. Perfection. I love this so much!
