Hey everyone. Back with my usual follow up chapter. The first chapters reception was really good and I hope I can continue the hype for you guys. So, here you go.
And for those asking, no Dracula's Descendant hasn't bored me. I simply have this story in because I want it. I'm in no way giving up on a story such as that. So do not fret.
Kuoh Academy - Meeting Room
It was the day of the meeting and the three factions gathered inside of the high school's meeting room. The factions soldiers stood guard throughout the entire Academy and a barrier was erected to keep anyone from getting in physically and magically.
Inside the building, the groups walked down the halls, heading towards said meeting room. They could feel the tension and some couldn't help but feel nervous. There was a lot riding on the meeting and none of them wanted to slip up and possibly ruin it.
The first to arrive was Sirzechs. He had his fellow Devil King, Serafall Leviathan, at his side, looking as perky and easy going as always. His trusted [Queen], Grayfia, also stood close behind them, a cart of tea and snacks at her side for anyone who may be peckish or parched. She seemed to be elsewhere but all-in-all she was ready for anything.
Rias and her peerage, as well as Sona and her [Queen], Tsubaki, stood at the wall next to the silver haired maid. There was a lack of two of their members but, for the most part, everyone was there who played big roles in the Kokabiel attack.
Next to arrive was Azazel and his two escorts. The fallen angel was dressed in a long burgundy trench coat with black belts around his abdominal, arms, and wrists. He also had grey pants and black shoes, with a necklace just for added flare.
Behind him Vali stood, leaning against the wall without a care in the world. She was as relaxed as can be and decide to take in the few moments of peace.
Next to the silverette was her best friend, Raul. He was at ease, like Vali, and was relaxing just as well. His attire was different from before, now dressed in a black v-neck with white jeans and black shoes. He also had a rosary choker around his neck, something Rias and her group hadn't noticed till today.
The last to arrive was another young looking man. He had long flowing blonde hair with soft green eyes and very gentle features. He wore a red robe with a cross on the front of his alb. He had golden shoulder plates with a white sash and a halo sat above his head. He had the purest of auras in the room and the holy energy radiating from his was warm and bright. Twelve golden wings sat on his back, proving him to be a Seraph, just like Azazel. He was the head of all angels and leader of Heaven, Michael.
Behind him, the exorcist known as Irina Shidou stood, the holy sword Excalibur Mimic strapped to her side.
"Now that everyone has arrived, I'll say the preconditions for the meeting. The people present here acknowledge the most important event and forbidden subject?" Sirzechs spoke up, looking at the entire room carefully. Everyone nodded their heads. "Then we may proceed with the conversation."
As the meeting began the leaders bounced around a few topics, keeping in the past and sometimes present. There would be a few light chuckles but the four leaders made sure to keep the atmosphere serious. Although, a few times Azazel would strike at the tension with a slick comment that made everyone look at him in question.
Rias could actually see where Raul and Vali had got there attitude from. To think, the leader of the fallen angels was so...annoying. She could almost feel Kokabiel's pain for wanting to defect.
Eventually, it was time for the reports on the Kokabiel incident. Turning back, Sirzechs faced Rias and Sona.
"Now then, Rias. Could you speak about the incident a few days before?" He asked, a soft smile on his face. The Devil King could see the nervousness in the way her hands were shaking but he knew she was strong enough to hold out.
"Yes, Lucifer-sama," she replied with a bold and confident tone.
She made sure to give a full summary of the event, making sure not to miss any key details. As she continued, the leaders each had different reactions upon the matter. Sirzechs and Serafall were scowling at the thought of a leader like Kokabiel attacking people much weaker than him, just to start a war. Michael released a sigh, hearing how corrupted his former brother had become. And Azazel, he was smiling. It wasn't positive in any way, in fact, it was out of embarrassment. It was his fault for letting Kokabiel run free and the one chance he gave him had caused so much panic and trouble that now the Governor-General was there, in that meeting room, dealing with it.
After some time, Rias finally finished and Sona cosigned on the review.
"Thank you ladies," Sirzechs said, smiling once more. "You all may be seated."
"Great job girls! Levi-tan is so proud of you!" Serafall said with a big smile.
"Now then, Azazel, what do you have to say about the reports given by the Gremory and Sitri heirs?" Sirzechs questioned, turning to face the fallen angel. Everyone's eyes soon followed and the entire room had their attention on the black winged Seraph.
With a intrepid smile, Azazel sat back in his seat and folded his arms. "Regarding the incident a few days back, Kokabiel kept quiet to the other leaders, as well as myself, the Governor, and acted independently. His punishment was enforced and he has been eternally frozen in the Cocytus. The explanation for that was written in the material that was forwarded to you. That is all."
Michael was the one to speak up next. "I have read said report and know that you don't want to cause trouble. Am I correct?" Azazel smirked at this and closed his eyes.
"I have no want or need for war. I am a simple collector nowadays and have no desire to fight," the Seraph replied before opening his eyes once more. Sirzechs rose a brow, now fully focusing his attention on the Seraph of the Grigori.
"Enlighten us, Azazel, why have you been gathering owners of Sacred Gears for the past decades? At first I thought you were gathering humans, and attempting to augment your battle potential. I even anticipated you to wage war against heaven or us but..." The Maou drifted off to which the leader of Heaven quickly picked up on.
"Yes, no matter how much time passed, you didn't wage war on any of us. When I heard you got hold of the Vanishing Dragon, I was enveloped by a strong wariness. Even that other one behind you makes me cautious," he stated, motioning over to Raul. He had every right to be wary of the boy. The power behind him was something the angel didn't want to deal with anytime soon.
"I only research the Sacred Gears. I'm too interested in the world now to dare try and change it. Or wage war. Do you guys not trust the Grigori at all?" Azazel replied with the shake of his head. He obviously didn't like that the other two factions were so wary of him. "Anyways, let's just get on about peace. That's why we're all here, right?"
The entire room's eyes widened and the fallen angel grinned while resting his head against his fist. Vali and Raul were the only two who weren't surprised that Azazel knew of the other two factions original plan. He may be stupid, and perverted, but the man wasn't ignorant and was a hell of a lot smarter than the people gave him credit for.
"We do admit that Sirzechs, Serafall, and I have discussed the topic," Michael admitted. They had kept close contact with each other on the topic and it had been a touchy subject due to the previous information they had for the Governor-General. Now, however, with his agreement on peace, there was no need to hide it.
"It's a good thing you have. But, it's not our place to completely agree on this. Two important figures in this room have the ability to go against this treaty and it's best we know their answers now." Everyone in the room knew of the two powers and looked towards the figures.
"Yes, well, Hakuryuukou, what do you say?" Michael asked.
"My dream is to fight strong opponents, nothing more," Vali answered with a carefree glance. This made Azazel chuckle and he glanced towards the female silverette from the corner of his eye.
"You can still do that without causing a war, Vali," he replied and received a shrug in response. "And you, Sekiryuutei?" His eyes casted to the other Heavenly Dragon wielder. Issei was instantly nervous, similar to Rias a few moments ago. Whatever he said could make or break this peace talk and he could feel the weight of it on his shoulders.
The boy scratched his cheek as he chuckled awkwardly with a tense smile. "To be honest, I don't understand it well. Somehow, due to all the this, I feel like a complete idiot. In addition to that, I am desperate about looking after my kouhais, so even if I am told what I think about the world...how should I say it...I don't have any deep feelings gushing forth." His feelings sounded truthful and he honestly didn't see to care. It was understandable however. He couldn't quite grasp how much he could change the world since he was only human a few months ago. But still, he was a huge factor and could become a massive threat in the future if his power grew out of control. They needed to know the answer now so they could prepare for the worst if it ever came.
"You are one of those who has the power to change multiple worlds, Sekiryuutei. If you don't make your choice then it would be difficult for those standing on top of each of the powers such as me to move," Azazel replied. He was very adamant with achieving peace. His reasons different from others, however but as long as the outcome was the same he would try his best to ease the burden.
"Issei Hyoudou, let me explain it in a very simple manner. If we fight, then there will be a need for you to also fight at the front lines, seeing as you can stand with the leaders before you, in due time. If that happens, you won't be able to have babies with Rias Gremory." This got the brunette's attention. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped. The look on his face was like a prophet having a revelation. A very, very perverted one...
"W-What...did you...just...say?" He asked. Azazel's grin widened. Seemed the red dragons weakness was true. Raul was good at digging up dirt if needed. Although, it was pretty obvious with the way he ogled the Gremory heir throughout the entire meeting.
"But, if we make peace, then there won't be a need to fight. If that happens, then what is left is the most important. Continuation of the species and prosperity. In other words, you may be able to indulge in making children with Rias Gremory everyday. How's that? Is it easy to understand? If there's peace, you can indulge in echii acts with Rias Gremory all day, everyday. If there's war, no sexy time. That make it easy for you?" Azazel's grin was a bit too mischievous and Issei was soaking up his words like a sponge. It was like he was witnessing a sage give the wisest words and he ate it all up. The brunette's hand shot up as he stiffened with a serious face.
"I would like to have the peaceful one, please! Yes! It's peace, all right! Peace is the best! I want to do ecchi things with Buchou!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. Everyone looked at him with either disgusted or amused looks. Raul merely stared with his usual blank look, no one able to gauge his reaction.
'He's at least honest with his opinions...' The male silverette thought.
"Issei...you do realize that Buchou's brother is sitting right there?" Kiba whispered in the brunette's ear. Issei froze, fear racing through his heart. Maybe his libido finally had done him in.
Sirzechs only laughed softly with an amused smile on his face. He still had to think of something fast less his pervertedness have him miss out on something more.
"Ano...since I am an idiot, the meaning of most of this meeting is confusing. However, what I can say is, since the power residing in me is strong, then I'll use it for my comrades. Buchou, Asia, Akeno-san, and also the other members as well. If they're exposed to trouble then I'll protect them! Even though I am still quite weak... However, I'll always do what I must. Even if I have to risk my life, I will live alongside my comrades." His feelings were pure. Everyone could see that. The power behind his word were very moving and it made everyone smile.
Suddenly, there was a quick shift in the air. No warning, no hesitation. Time had frozen on the dot. The leaders were all unfrozen, including Grayfia, as well as Xenovia, Kiba, Vali, Issei, Rias, Irina, and Raul. But everyone and everything around them had stopped moving completely. The clock that sat on the far wall to the right no longer ticked, proving their point further.
"So, they made their move..." Azazel spoke grimly.
"Who?" Serafall asked. Most of the room, those who were unfrozen, turned to the fallen angel, again. He looked towards the window and sighed.
"...Khaos Brigade." There were shocked gasps, while others simply narrowed their eyes. Raul gained a sadistic grin has he felt a certain someone coming along. One of his targets... This was going to be fun.
"From the looks of things, they used the [Bishop] of little Rias," Azazel analyzed. Rias, Issei, Kiba, and Xenovia were shocked. "Forcing the half-vampire into Balance Breaker, very sneaky. And with every passing minute it'll grow stronger till we're all frozen in time."
"Gasper's that strong!?" Issei asked bewildered.
"Yes, he has power beyond recognition. It's immeasurable which is why his piece is a mutation," Rias answered.
Azazel made his way to the window and looked outside. Everyone followed to see all the forces outside frozen as well.
A large magic circle laid above the school, multitudes of people dressed in black robes floating down into the main courtyard. They all wore hoods, a large eye on the front, and evil grins on their faces.
"How could they have gotten through the barrier?" Kiba asked.
"We were betrayed..." Sirzechs said sadly.
"What?! Betrayed?" Issei repeated.
"Yes, there wouldn't be a way for the group to be able to teleport straight in without someone notifying and sneaking them through. And it has to be someone on the inside," Michael added.
"What's our move then?" Issei asked.
"First, we need to get the little vampire boy back under our control. Problem with that is that those pesky terrorist cut off our teleportation, so getting there won't be easy," Azazel said as he watched the enemies tear through their immobile forces with ease.
"I could just kill the vampire if you want. Blowing up that little school building should be a-"
"No, we don't want to start off on a bad note, Vali," Azazel chastised, looking back at the grinning girl.
"If you have that much time on your hands, why not use it on those magicians out there?" Azazel spoke up. "I'm sure having the Hakuryuukou out there will surely rile up their defences, wouldn't you say?" Vali glanced to Raul who gave her a grin that said he had bigger plans. She knew exactly what they were and unleashed her Sacred Gear. A pair of white wings appeared on both sides of her and she flexed them. It had actually been some time since she went full out in a real battle. It was exciting and she was ready.
"Hope to see you on the battlefield, Raul," she said with a smirk.
"You know I will," the male silverette returned, his grin growing and his canines shining. Once the dragon girl was out the window, everyone turned back to focus on the game plan.
"So, how will we save Gasper?" Issei asked, looking around the room for an answer.
"What about castling?" Rias suggested. This caught everyone's attention.
"What's castling?" Issei asked in return. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Kiba.
"Castling is when you trade the Kings position with the Rook piece in one move," he explained. Issei nodded his head. He did remember that Rias had an unused Rook back at the clubhouse. He had to go and save Gasper and Koneko. They were counting on him.
"Rias, I'll send you back," Sirzechs said to which the younger sister nodded.
"I shall go, too!" Issei exclaimed as he stepped forward. The group wasn't surprised and the Devil King nodded his head.
"Issei," Raul called. The brunette turned to see the serious look on the fellow teens face. "Make sure you show them no mercy." There was a fire in the Hound's eyes and the group couldn't help but grow curious as to why. Instead of focusing so heavily on it, the Pawn smiled and nodded his head determinedly.
"Will do!"
"Alright. I'll began the trade then." The Gremory magic circle appeared beneath their feet before shining and quickly fading. Once it did, it revealed a white rook piece, sitting where they once stood. "Good luck."
A few moments of waiting passed as the large scale, one sided battle roared on outside. The screams of hundreds of magicians were heard and the source of blue and white lights were seen flashing.
Suddenly, a new source of magic filled the room. Everyone easily noticed it, due to the power being flared as if it was trying to dominate them, and turned with a sharp glare. From the circle, a young woman stepped out with a wicked grin.
She was a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure. She had tan skin with long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset and violet eyes. She wore a dress that was extremely low cut, and had a high slit on it, which exposed a large portion of her breasts.
"Katerea Leviathan," Sirzechs announced as he turned to the brunette.
"What brings you here?" Serafall asked. The woman laughed heartily before she spun her staff and rose it.
"I'm here to bring the first steps of chaos and destruction into play," she replied as if it was obvious. Her staff lit up, catching the groups immediate attention.
DDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
An explosion destroyed the entire room, smoke and fire now rising. The newcomer fell back to the sky, marveling at her power. She barely used a fraction of her power and yet she had rocked the very foundation under her targets. While it wasn't enough to kill them, they were sure to have been shaken.
When the smoke cleared, it showed everyone inside of a barrier, quickly set up by Michael, Azazel, and Sirzechs. Serafall and Grayfia had also taken quick action and covered the kids who were still frozen in time. All around, everyone was safe and unharmed.
"Haha, so the three great powers put up a combined defensive barrier. How beautiful. As well as pathetic," Katerea mocked.
From inside the barrier, everyone could see she easily destroyed a good portion of the school. They moved to the school grounds and released the barrier.
"Why are you doing this, Katerea?" Serafall asked. The brunette growled at the way ebony haired Devil King.
"Serafall," she growled. "You stole my title and now question my motives? A pretty little mouth like yours should be blasted off. I'll be sure to kill you and take my title back," the old Leviathan declared.
"It's safe to assume we're not in a devils coup d'etat?" Azazel asked.
"No, more like a world domination scheme," Michael answered. The terrorist then began to laugh once more with a large grin on her face.
"Michael hit the nail on the head. I will kill all of you here and over throw these corrupted parties. No longer shall devils be mocked as we shall rule Heaven, Hell, and everything in between. We, as the true Maou's shall reform this decaying and destructive realm into how we see fit from this point forward."
"Oh? Is that a promise? Or an empty threat?" A dark, malicious voice said from behind the brunette. Katerea's eyes widened at the killer intent radiating behind her and shot around. She couldn't help her eyes widening in horror as she came face to face with Raul. When had he gotten behind her?
"W-Who the hell...are you?" She questioned with obvious terror. The group was also surprised, having not noticed the silver haired boy's disappearance.
"Who am I is not what you need to be concerned with. Who my ancestor is and why I'm going to kill you is what you should," he replied, his tone lowering with dark malice surrounding it as he looked over the terrorist, his killer intent wrapped around her like a blanket.
The old Leviathan said nothing and her confusion was seen in her fear, not knowing of who the teen spoke of. He then turned to the others, more specifically the Maous, and saw them equally as confused. This made Raul's grin grow wider as his canines were on full display.
"That's fantastic. Then it allows me to tell the story," he said, signs of excitement in his voice. He was sadistically giddy for this moment and wasn't going to hide it. "Azazel, do you mind?"
Everyone shot to the fallen angel who was folding his arms and smirking. "It's your call, not mine kid," he replied nonchalantly. He knew of the boy's past and wasn't going to waste this chance at ridding himself of a pest.
"Well, I'm sure you're all eager to know, so I won't be dramatic and take the time to build things up," he began as he kept a fierce glare on Katerea's frozen form. The very glare wouldn't allow her to move, almost like it was keeping her there in complete fear. As if he was going to make her suffer, terribly. This was a turn of events she didn't expect, at all. "I am a half-demon. To be more specific, I'm half dog demon, half human. Ring any bells?" He questioned out loud. She still didn't respond and the devil leaders below couldn't make any connections. "Oh come now, it's not that hard. What other half-breed like me could have you shaking and fearing for your life? I heard that he made you, Katerea, very afraid to the point you pissed yourself. I'm not there but I'm sure close, aren't I?" He questioned, growing ever more closer to the point their noses almost touched.
...
...
...
It finally clicked.
Sirzechs was the one to realize it and his eyes widened. He couldn't contain his shock and disbelief and it showed with his widened eyes and lowered jaw. He hoped he was wrong but everything was finally adding up. The familiar power, aura, and attitude, it all made sense now. He now knew the one that was the ancestor of Raul.
The Hound kept his eyes on Katerea but could feel as the group below him found the clues adding up. Azazel was the only one still smirking and enjoying everyone else's shell shocked expressions. It seemed Raul's plan was coming to fruition, albeit the addition of Khaos Brigade. But that didn't matter seeing as Vali was making quick work of the forces and Raul had the leader of the invasion in his claws.
The teen stared at the cowering woman with amusement. He wasn't scary like his grandfather use to be, no, that man was on a totally different level. But he would be sure to be as close as possible while he set his plan into motion. Seeing Katerea make no moves to speak, the silverette decided to answer for her.
"I am the great grandson of one of the most powerful demons in history. The only half-breed to have become Demon Lord and free humanity from the reign of a tyrant. My ancestor is the one and only, Inuyasha."
As the name left his lips he couldn't help the utter disbelief he saw on everyone's face. Especially Sirzechs and Katerea's. The way their shock skyrocketed past everyone else's was more than amusing and he couldn't help his growing grin. It was to the point it may split his entire face.
Lifting one hand up, the boy placed his finger under the brunette's chin and lifted her head to face him fully. "Katerea Leviathan, if history serves me correct, you worked alongside my great grandfather as his assistant. A daughter, as he may have saw you." She still didn't reply. "It was also you, along with the other Satan's, Sirzechs, and Ajuka who decided to betray him during the end of the Great War. When you were sure the worst had passed, after the original Maous death along with God's, you killed him when he was unsuspecting and weak from the final battle."
"I-"
"Oh, now you decide to speak?" Raul quickly interrupted. His eyes narrowed but the grin still remained. "Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking... You six all feared my old man's power and assumed he would turn on you. He was loyal till the bitter end and fought with you and everyone else, without a single thought of betrayal. Hell, he probably would have worked for all of you as an advisor or assistance. Just to show how proud and thankful he was," the boy stated, sounding very bitter in the end. "But you feared his strength and ganged up on him. Only two leaders were against the calling and refused to take part in it. Serafall, because she's a kind hearted person, and Asmodeus, mainly because he's too lazy. But the rest of you, oh, do I have plans for each and every one of you. Especially your brethren of Khaos Brigade who call themselves the true faction."
The way he said that made everyone shiver. It was as if he changed personalities completely. This sadistic and possibly insane person came from the normally stoic and plain silverette. It was shocking but no one would say otherwise. Not while he was emitting killing intent that made the former Leviathan unable to speak, at all. Even the leaders were lost, words trying to escape but unable to. What could they say? Especially Sirzechs, seeing as the boy had some kind of hatred towards him.
"Each and every last of you six. Boy, do I have great things planned, all to each and every last one of you," he malicious stated. Two silver furred dog ears then popped on the top of his head and his eyes changed to a honey hue, much like his great grandfather's. His nails extended into sharp claws and his teeth grew much sharper. "And, it's unfortunate how you'll be the first."
The teen grabbed a hold onto the brunette's neck with a force that made her gasp in pain. She barely opened her eyes in time to see a fist coming straight for her. It was faster than she could react so she just scrunched up her face and prepared for the worse.
It was like a sledgehammer being swung right at her as she flew into the ground, creating a crater beneath her. Her entire head ached and her face hurt, like her skull had been cracked and split open. She barely had time to question how someone could hit so hard without the use of any magic.
It only got worse when the demon followed behind her and landed a hard double heel kick into her chest, forcing out a large amount of blood and deepening the crater to the point more cracks formed and the ground shook violently.
Raul wasn't one to allow his enemies to breathe and continued his assault. He picked up the Leviathan by her collar, seeing blood drip from her nose and mouth. Winding up a fist, the shift in wind hinted that he was using senjutsu to increase the damage. Katerea quickly surrounded herself in a magical coat of armor, barely able to conjure the spell.
"Lariat!"
In one swift motion, Raul released the terrorist before landing a powerful lariat to her neck.
The sound of bones cracking sounded through the field before she was propelled across the grounds, slamming against the school's very wall. The brunette's eyes were wide and she coughed up blood from the impact. It was then followed by a powerful elbow into her ribcage, forcing more blood out, all the while Raul grinned crazily.
The demon dog leapt back, a dust cloud covering the area for the moment. Being close enough to the brunette, he sensed another power hidden somewhere on her body. Growing curious of it, he sensed for what it could be and his grinned returned to a smirk once he found it.
'Seems things will become much more enjoyable soon,' he thought as he flexed his claws.
Meanwhile, the leaders were gawking at the power displayed by the Hound. It was impossible to say that everything he did was physical strength and speed but they couldn't detect any magic from him. It was unbelievable. How had they not known of his existence?
Wait...there was one person.
"Azazel, how is this possible!?" Sirzechs asked turning to the Seraph. The fellow leader grinned more and faced the redheaded devil.
"Raul is what you could call 'the imperfect perfect hybrid'," the fallen angel answered. This only confused the group further but the angel was more than obliged to further explain. "The kid has no magic ability whatsoever. Nothing ever happened when he tried to use it."
"Then what about the senjutsu?" Michael asked.
"Senjutsu requires energy manipulation, control, and a calm mind. The kid has the first one as a given, everyone does. Control comes with years of practice, which he's had plenty of. And a calm mind is a gift to the boy. While he seems insane and out of control, he is very much aware of his actions and is simply allowing his frustrations to run free...to a certain extent."
The group looked at him questionably, still unsure of his response. The fallen angel was batshit insane himself, so his words were as good as a fish's. Still, for the boy to have no magical talent and be this strong...
"So...how is he...?
"He was naturally gifted from Inuyasha. His strength, speed, agility, reflexes, they are at the point of scary levels. While not as strong as his ancestor, he's very close and will surpass him within the next couple of years," the fallen finished explaining. This made the group more wary of the young man in front of them. He was set to pass his predecessor at such a young age. That meant he could be a great ally, or a possible threat, in the future.
Sirzechs saw that the demon dog was a stronger fighter than the child prodigy, Sairi Bael, despite their equality in age. And if Azazel's words were true, that meant he would also equal him in power someday. That meant two things. Either win him to their side now or kill him and avoid the possibility of betrayal.
Deja vu, huh...
*PHHHHEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW*
The sound of the wind shifting brought the groups attention back to the present time. Looking up, they noticed the gate closing and the soldiers unfrozen. It was also at that time that the remaining meeting members started to move as well.
It was obvious now that Rias and Issei had completed their mission and freed Gasper. Now all that was left was defeating the remaining enemy forces and their leader.
*Shoooooooooooo*
When they turned back to the devil and demon, none of them noticed the dust cloud had disappeared and Katerea Leviathan was standing once more.
The brunette looked horrible as she shakily stood, looking ready to fall at any moment. Blood was gushing down the side of her head and she clutched her arm feebly, the white tip poking out her forearm proving her bones were broken and it punctured through her skin. Her nose was also broken and the slight bump in her neck showed her collarbone to have also been fractured. To sum it all up, the woman looked close to death from the few attacks the Hound landed.
"Go on, use the snake Ophis gave you," Raul suddenly spoke up. The spectators shot to him, hearing his claim and they immediately thought they misheard him. The grin he had on his face was one that worried them. It was very similar to that of a predator's when they were finishing off their prey. But his had a much more sadistic twist that could make anyone look away if he looked at them. It was too haunting.
Their attention then switched to Katerea who was glaring at him, despite her earlier fear. The look in her eyes showed that Raul's claim was true and she had something up her sleeve. Being close to death, fear for her life was more important than the fear of the boy in front of her. At least for the moment.
Seeing no need to hide it, the devil reached into her dress and pulled out a jar. Inside the container, a black snake with bright purple eyes stared at the group in front of it. Katerea took off the top and lifted it to her lips before swallowing the reptile whole.
The group watched in disgust before awe as her wounds began to rapidly heal and her bones shifted back into place, all the while smoke rose from her form. Every cut, bruise, scrape, and scar was nowhere to be seen and all of her bones looked to have been fixed and strengthened as well.
"Hahaha, so this is the power of a god? It's glorious! I feel I can destroy all of you with ease!" The terrorist now begun to laugh. She no longer felt scared with the power from an unlimited god's source. It was amazing and she couldn't help but unleash it all in a blast of energy. Black and violet surrounded her in a thick cloud, a huge portion of her new power spreading through the field for all to fear. Orange and violet twisted around one another, as if becoming one force of complete destruction.
Finally, she looked towards Raul and saw the boy still grinning. It irritated her that she still mocked her with that look. She would take that smile off his face and replace it with fear, far worse than what he did to her. Everyone at the meeting would fear her by the end of the night.
"Here I come, descendant of Inuyasha! Die, just like he did!" She shouted as she charged him with a magical orange and black fist. She will defeat him and make him suffer a far worse death than his ancestor. All in the name of her fellow brethren who helped kill him and the Old Maou Faction.
The terrorist devil was on top of the demon dog within seconds. Their eyes locked and Katerea couldn't help the look of surprise in his eyes. He underestimated her and was now going to pay the ultimate price. Soon it would be filled with fear once he tasted the power of the Ouroboros Dragon.
*DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN*
Dust and debri flew everywhere as the attack released a large amount of power. Orange and violet energy crackled from the impact danced around the area of effect. The group was forced to create a barrier as large whisps of wind covered the area, a few trees falling from a large cut into their thick trunks.
"To have gained this much strength from the snake of the Ouroboros Dragon..." Sirzechs said with narrowed eyes. The devil only became more wary of the group Khaos Brigade. If Katerea had access to such power, what would that say for the rest of the organization. And since their numbers were unknown, that made the group a much larger threat.
"Phew, that was some power," Azazel stated from the Devil King's left. Sirzechs shook from his train of thought and shot to the fallen angel. The man was grinning and shrugged nonchalantly. Did he not see his soldier take a direct hit from the Leviathan? It would be a miracle if the boy was alive and yet the angel seemed so casual about it.
"Raul, take off your rosary!" Azazel shouted into the dust cloud.
Silence...
...
...
...
"Way ahead of you..." A response came back. It was so dark and haunting that the group tensed from the sheer tone. It was as if the very cold of the voice was real.
The wind picked up and blew away the remaining dust cloud in one swoop.
"It's been a while since I've entered this form."
Everyone was shocked at the sight before them. Raul was standing with his rosary in his left hand and Katerea's fist in his right. Steam was emitting from his palm but there was no other signs of the brunette's original attack. The silverette may have been pushed back from the force but there was no true indication of it.
The devils and angels couldn't understand what happened, the confusion written on their face. Then, they saw it. His sclera was now red and his fangs had grown and sharpened to the point they could pierce the body with ease. His clothes were ripped in several places but there were no signs of injury anywhere. He had changed forms and his power had greatly increased.
Katerea, herself, was shocked, confused, and afraid. Very afraid. The boy had stopped her attack without gaining so much as a scratch. How!?
Raul stared at her, his eyes piercing through hers, as if staring into her soul. "I commend you for pushing me this far, Katerea Leviathan. But I told you, your death is a must in the steps to achieve my vengeance. How about we take this somewhere more...private?"
*FSSSSSHHHHHHHH*
At the teen's final word, the duo disappeared into thin air,as if they were steam. The group could only look at where the devil and demon once stood in confusion. The mystery, now surrounding the silver haired dog demon, had grown severly and the group wanted answers surrounding his very existence.
"Azazel, what just happened!?" Sirzechs asked the Governor-General.
"It's simple really, Raul-"
*GOOOONNNNNNNN*
Before the Seraph could explain, a blast of energy hit him from behind, sending the man into his own personal crater. It wasn't till a few moments later that he lifted himself out and turned to his assailant.
"Now, now, Vali. That wasn't very nice," he said playfully.
Flying above the group, the armor clad Hakuryuukou looked down, a hidden grin on her face. She folded her arms. "Sorry Azazel, I just got a little bored..."

Unknown Location
Katerea opened her eyes to see darkness. When she tried to move she discovered her hands were tied behind what felt like a wooden pole. She tried her feet and received similar results which confused and scared her.
"Ah, you're awake," the familiar voice that was Raul said. Light filled her vision at the feeling of something being pulled off her face. She assumed she was blindfolded.
After a moment of adjusting, Katerea looked around to see herself in a place of bright white. There was nothing there, no indication of up, down, close, far, or anything in-between. She couldn't even see what she was tied to. The only thing with her, that she could see, was the Hound in front of her.
"Where am I...?" She growled with anger. She was scared but wasn't going to show anymore fear to the teen. She hated him to her very core and wouldn't allow him anymore satisfaction.
Raul grinned as he walked around the woman. "That does not matter, little Leviathan. Just know, it's the place you'll die," he replied sadistically.
The brunette's fear and anxiety took a sudden rise from the look and it quickly broke down her last mask of bravery. His sudden flare of killing intent had easily shattered her last attempt at courage like glass. Seeing her fear, Raul's grin grew and he reached forward, gripping her cheeks with a tight vice. She winced from the sharp pain of his nails digging into her skin and tried to jerk away but to no avail.
"Don't worry. It'll hurt so much that your nerves will give out halfway through. But, I'll just heal them and start anew."
"No, please no..." Katerea pleaded. She had no other options and he had pushed her so quickly to this. She would beg and plead for her life. At this point, it was all she had. The fear that encased her was so sudden and the man in front of her stared at her with that same sickening grin.
"None of that now, Leviathan. I'd much rather hear you scream."
"N-No... No..."
"Let's begin, shall we?"
Alright, so I've obviously had to end it here. I wanted to do the entire meeting but I feel it would get too big with what I have planned. So I've split it into two parts. Ah well, I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible. College and stuff, ya know?
Anywho, on to harems. I had a good selection so hopefully I can satiate everyone with this final outcome.
Raul: Leone (Akame Ga Kill), Kuroka, Rossweisse, Yasaka, Vali, Serafall, Mira (Fairy Tail), Sairi Bael (Female Sairaorg), Mizore (Rosario Vampire)
Maybe one spot left. Who knows. Options would be Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill, Kuesu from Omamori Himari, Juvia from Fairy Tail, and Emilia from Re: Zero.
Welp, with those decided, hope you guys enjoyed. The fun and drama really starts next chapter. See you all then. Peace.
