Sorry i'm late for posting. I was having accident and my laptop was broken. So i write this using whatever left i could salvage from my notes. I'm sorry if this chapter somehow not satisfy you.
(Elliot's POV)
"Huh… So tiring." I let out a sigh after dealing a bunch of hyperactive girls following me relentlessly everywhere I go, not to mention overzealous women approaching me and groping me in inappropriate places. It was not like I didn't like it but rather I prefer if they didn't do it while in school. School is not a place for funny business, after all.
"Elliot-sama, here's the tea."
A tray filled with tea and cookies were placed in front of my desk by one of my assistants, Raynare.
My assistants, at first intimidated by me because my status as the strongest being in the existences. Like Ophis and Great Red, nothing could oppose us no matter how much effort and resources to wound us. In my case, I was counted as the abnormality because originally only Ophis and Great Red were counted as the strongest. As someone regarded as a human in the eyes of supernatural despite my actual race being an Angel, they occasionally challenged me in hope to prove themselves as the strongest only to be crushed by me completely.
"Thank you, Raynare." I picked the tea and cookies before enjoy it slowly.
"No need to praise me for something insignificant, Elliot-sama." Raynare said while blushing and squirming furiously.
Oh… right. I forgot about my passive to charm those lower leveled opposite gender. Then again almost all of people in this world considered weak compared to the likes of Yggdrasil. Even the strongest level aside Ophis and Great Red was level 60 and that only belongs top ten strongest.
Serafall my girlfriend was leveled up to level 46 and that was the strongest for normal devil like her. Even Super Devil like Sirzech or Azuka only slightly better with level 52.
"Okay then. Speaking of which, where are Mittlet and others? I don't see them after I sent them to buy some supplies for four of you. I estimate they should have finished few hours ago and contacted me. It makes me worried about them."
Well, naturally I wouldn't since normal human couldn't defeat them unless they have some strong Sacred Gear in them but their nature as a Fallen made them see human as inferior and in Maous' siblings territory to boot, Maous that would marched toward the human world because their overprotective slash Siscon syndrome. Fortunately for them, with me as their benefactor the risk of them to incite the wrath of the Maous was pretty slim as I was the strongest more than Ophis and Great Red combined with large margin.
"Don't worry, Elliot-sama. I'm sure they are okay. For mid-fallen Angels like us, the chance for us to be defeated by normal human is slim also the fact that you give us a little fraction of your power and you are our master would ensure their safety." Raynare said while massaging my back with erotic gesture.
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
"Very well but if they don't arrive for the next hour we will search for them." I relaxed myself with Raynare's massage in my own private room provided by Sona to prevent some people overheard sensitive topics.
30 Minutes Later.
"Yes… Ah… You are very good at this, Raynare. Where have you been all my life? I never feel so good like this. Are you sure you are not Angel of Massage because I know every Angels have their own roles." I moaned having the sensation of hands roaming my back while I was laying down on massage table that I personally teleported from Brazil to my office.
"You praise me too much, Elliot-sama. This is my first time giving a massage to someone." Raynare sweetly replied.
"Still despite it is your first time, you are completely talented." I turned back so I facing Raynare.
Raynare on the other hand poured oil to my exposed front before resuming her massage in slow pace. She truly is talented in this area. I was tempted to call some of my people in Brazil to learn from Raynare since she was very good. With stronger people as good as Raynare in massaging area the better for me because I had to lowering my defenses just for her able to do it.
TOK TOK TOK
A sound of knocking came from the other side of the door.
"Come in." I willed the barrier that I placed using Dimensional Lost down in order to prevent someone barging in and saw me half naked with Raynare massaging my body. If someone breached the barrier the only thing they would see is a standard office without anyone inside as Dimensional Lost created separated dimension to isolate the real space I currently inhabit but still connected to the fake space. Of course this barrier was not a foolproof because anyone who excels in Dimensional Space could breach it, after all I created this only to fool unwanted students lest the school would be in uproar hearing the news that a new teacher is half naked in School with questionable situation.
The door opened revealing a woman with big assets stepping into my office and it was Ophis.
In the past Ophis assumed a form of Old Man who swam in the depth of Dimensional Gap but after I defeated her, he changed his form into an early twenty years old woman in effort to get close to me. And trust me, whenever she was going to seduce me or whatever she planning, it never ends well either for me or her. Despite her ancient age, she was completely naïve and honest at least until i introduced the wonder of drama to her and if she didn't get what she wanted, she tried to blast me and reducing the area to wasteland like Sahara Desert.
"Ophis‼" I bit back a snarl that started to form. I couldn't really let her to be angry or lest the city became another Sahara or any place that ever felt her power. As a highly dedicated worker, I never let myself influenced by emotion despite my Angelic Nature to heighten its emotion. There was also another reason, I didn't want to get fired because I already spent huge amount of money just to be here.
"Mou~, El-tan. Why are you always so rude to your girlfriend? Why can't you treat me like you treat that wannabe Magicial Girl? Am I not beautiful to you? I believe this form is suitable for you according to my calculations."
Damn cheating genderless infinity, using one of her aspect to peek at infinity possibilities just to rill me up.
"Why are you here, Ophis? It is not like you making social call at random times." I had to ask her, the real reason why she was here in my office. Ophis was not one to call much less coming personally to meet anyone she interested about. She preferred to watch her favorite drama rather than meet me in backwater country. Damn you Soap Opera and your addicting stuff.
For once, the jovial emotion that Ophis always displayed was turned off and replaced with something cold. "I want you to help my sister."
Sister? As far as I know, Ophis was the sole child of the universe. Born to maintain the universe itself, she was granted a power equals to the universe itself. Even Great Red itself was weaker than Infinity power she had. The aspect of Dream that Great Red had was paled compared to the aspect of Infinity. Sure both almost had the same meaning as Dream itself was Infinity on its own but the Infinity that Ophis had was something that involving every aspect the universe had.
"I beg your pardon. Sister? You are joking, right?"
"I'm not. I'm talking about another Ophis in different reality, a reality where you never exist where danger lurking and has the power to destroy the very universe itself. If that reality destroyed, the danger will move to another reality and move to another once it done. Even the one who was granted Infinity by the universe like me couldn't defeat it, nothing could defeat it but you can. I'm afraid I couldn't elaborate more and you have to find it yourself." Ophis eyes became unfocused and power gathering around her before a portal sucked me and Raynare.
What a troublesome!
Contrary to most supernatural believe, Elliot was not someone who likes to fight. What he likes in his relative long live are the peace and the fun he could get. So imagine when he was told by someone to avert a destruction of a reality, how much annoying and exciting that was? With no information in hands, he almost felt like he was back in Yggdrasil exploring the unknown, doing quest and hunt for materials in random places only this quest and hunt could resulting destruction of this world.
"Elliot-sama, are you okay?" A very concerned Raynare asked.
"I'm okay." Elliot said in between while eating his breakfast.
Currently Elliot and his assistants were having breakfast in one of dinners in the town where they were landed. Thankfully they were landed at Kuoh City in another reality, courtesy of Ophis because if they didn't, things were going to be more annoying that it was, especially to Elliot who had converted most of his money to yen.
At least the money was enough for them to rent a small house with three bedrooms and the necessities they needed for the next few months.
They continued enjoying their food until certain devils entering to the restaurant they happened to eat. In a world where Elliot never existed, he was counted as nobody but when someone saw him with certain fallen angels that was supposed to die a very long time ago fighting was inevitable.
"Raynare‼" A snarl came from a perverted wearer of Boosted Gear.
"Oya… Isn't it our perverted Issei-kun?" Raynare smirked knowing she could win the fight after a little boost of power given by Elliot after she made contract with Elliot.
"You are dead, killed by Buchou."
"Do you think, a measly power like that could kill this old me? Not a chance." Raynare taunted the boy which Elliot hoped she didn't.
"You‼ I'll kill you where you stand." Issei was going to summon his Boosted Gear but soon stopped after a light tug on his sleeve. "What is it, Koneko?"
"DANGER!" Even Koneko said it monotonously, it obviously that she was scared of the man who was eating his food.
"What are you talking about Koneko? We are stronger than them, we could their ass. With five of us vs four—Five?" Issei's eyes trailed off to the fifth person in Raynare's group. "Who are you?"
This was the reason why Elliot hates to be flunked outside his previous reality. In his previous world, at least everybody knew him and put a distance so they never and ever disrupting his work.
"Greetings, Devils and Exorcist. My name is Elliot Schneeider, Raynare's employer." Elliot saw there were two exorcists in a group of Devils. In his previous world, Exorcist and Devils or any race for that matter working together was common sight but in a world where he was unfamiliar with the inner working of the factions, he didn't know what to say.
"You are the one who ordered them to kill me and Asia?" Issei snarled. His human life was lost because someone ordered fallen angels to kill him and Asia.
Elliot on the other hand treated Issei like a puppy because no matter how strong he was going to be, there was always a limit he couldn't break, namely his power couldn't exceed level 60 despite how much boost he could manage.
"No. I'm not."
"You are lying!" Still snarling, Issei summoned his Boosted Gear and tried to boost but found he couldn't. "What are you doing to my Boosted Gear?"
Elliot sighed heavily. "Sit or I'll kill you where you stand." Elliot exerted his power a little to compel the devils and exorcist to sit.
Five sudden motion coming from the devils and exorcists who frantically searching for a seat before placed it near Elliot's table.
"Good boy. Now then, can you tell me why there are two exorcists working with three devils in this very lovely day? I don't mean to pry you business but I found it is odd for Devils and Church working together." Elliot tried to guess whether his guess hit the spot or not. But looking at their faces, it seemed his guess was spot on.
"Heretics like you don't have authorization." The blue haired said with such animosity toward Elliot.
"Actually I do." Elliot pulled a piece of paper that his Serafall made so he could protect her Sona from harm legally. What the devils and exorcists didn't know was that it wasn't made by Serafall of this world. He did this so he easily accepted, no, making it easier for him to search the monster though in the end it would bite him in the ass.
One of the Devils, Saji, Sona's pawn picked the letter and pulled something from his pocket to check the authenticity of the letter lest his Kaichou paid for the mistake. The item he pulled was one of the things that imbued with psychometrical ability which made it a valuable item in his line of job as the Student Council officer. After all, Sona Sitri was one of heiress in the underworld and his love interest.
"It's authentic." Saji gave the letter back to Elliot which he put it back into his inventory.
"Now then, what is this about?"
The one who spoke first was the exorcists saying that they were coming to Japan to retrieve Excaliburs which didn't exist in Elliot's previous world as he had the Excalibur that Arthur Pendragon once wield in his inventory. Excaliburs or Excalibur Fragments as they called it were stolen from their respective vault in three different Churches. It was said only Excalibur Fragments could find another Excalibur Fragments.
In Elliot's world, Excalibur never shattered in battle of Camlan as a result of Elliot's meddling, retrieving Excalibur from half dead Arthur before the Church and Heaven came to retrieve it. But in this world, Excalibur shattered and forged into seven pieces which contained one of Excalibur power. What a pitiful existence!
Then the Devils resumed that they were looking for Kiba Yuuto, Rias' Knight, who swore to destroy and hated the existence of Excalibur Fragments because the experiment that one of Bishop then declared as Heretic Bishop did to him and his family.
"I see, what an interesting story. Still why the Church only sent two exorcists in a diaper, I probably would never know. I mean why Heaven and Church sent exorcists instead of a Seraph or ten winged Angels for that matter. If the adversaries proven stronger than they estimated… I see. I think I know why."
Elliot analyzed every option from the story the exorcists told him only to find that the exorcists were the sacrifice. The Heaven in this world apparently had short of Angels unlike the Heaven in his world which fueled by his own power to maintain the system YHWH created as he possessed YHWH's power that was given to him before his death and automatically created lower Angels if they were low of Angels.
Still so many differences between his world and this world proven challenging on some parts.
"Do you think you can help us, Elliot-san?" Issei asked Elliot for help. To him, Elliot could be an asset in their quest to help Kiba destroying Excalibur Fragments. Unfortunately, Elliot also happened to be employer of the Fallen Angels that once killed him.
"I don't think so. Well, you could convince me if you have few million yen and I assure you I will retrieve all the stolen Excaliburs. After all, nothing is free in this world boya."
The Devils and Exorcists were stupefied hearing the numbers Elliot asked. For Elliot whose money was critical, he couldn't help but placed bounty on it.
"Are you kidding me? It's blackmail."
"Do you think this is my problem? No… This is Church and your problem not me. Valuable relic like that is not something to hunt carelessly. You think you are a hero? No… Hero is a killer with praises from the world. Guys we are leaving." Elliot and his assistants left leaving seething teenagers.
(Elliot's POV)
Two days later.
I was busy reading today newspaper looking for available job. I've been finished working on the identity for me and my assistants. After all you couldn't get a job without proper identification.
"Hmm… maybe I should pick this job or this." I circled the jobs that I think compatible with me. I didn't choose teacher anymore after what Ophis had done to me two days ago, so yeah no teaching for the next hundred years.
Now when I thought about it, it seemed Serafall knew about Ophis' plan from get go. I couldn't rule out how she worded her concern about her sister and the user of Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing.
Was she betrayed me? I don't think so. Despite being a Maou, she was quite honest with her heart, claiming wherever she goes that she was a magical girl. Still if it did, why she didn't tell me truthfully? If she told me the truth, at least I could considering to go here myself but knowing that I could lost on my real target, I think I could understand why Ophis was the one who transferred me.
"Excuse me, are you Elliot-san? I've been told by my pawn that you are someone reliable."
I lowered my newspaper despite I already knew who the person was, Sona. I was sort of forgotten about my encounter with her pawn in the restaurant. I was busy trying to settle before hunting the whereabout of the monster.
"Yes, I'm Elliot. Do you need something, Sona Sitri?"
I need to focus. This was not Sona Sitri from my world, the adopted sister. This was Sona Sitri from this world, no relation with me.
"I want you to help me and Rias Gremory with our problem. Saji said that you are here because my sister had sent you to protect me, so I think you could help me with that."
Sona looked nervous asking for my help. I could understand that since who doesn't wary of a person they don't know suddenly coming into the town and somehow met one of their pawns.
"What problem? Is it still about that Excalibur Fragments?"
"Yes. Only the problem becomes bigger than it was supposed to. One of the Fallen Angel leaders, Kokabiel, apparently stole the Excalibur Fragments hoping that Michael to descend and start a war against Fallen Angel. He also has secondary motive which is to kill me and Rias so three way war between Angels, Fallen and Devils restarted." Sona explained it to me.
Oh… This world seemed didn't reach peace unlike my world where peace already formed since thirty years ago. Should I involve myself like thirty years ago? But if i didn't, would the war started? No… Considering the nature of Serafall and Sirzech who were basically hardcore Sis-con, they would march from underworld just to get revenge thus lit the world in a blaze.
If that happened, my entertainment while searching this monster would be boring.
"Very well. As per my contract with Serafall Leviathan, I would kill this Kokabiel. Now, could you tell me where Kokabiel reside and when he would attack?"
"Actually, now is the better word for it. Few hours ago, Kokabiel came to Issei's house, Rias' pawn and told her that he would rampage in this city tonight and kill us."
This Sona somehow not afraid with Kokabiel considering Kokabiel was someone with 12 wings in my world. But who knows how many wings he had in this world.
"Okay then. Grab my hand." Sona grabbed my hand and I teleported us outside the school.
"Sona, who is this?" Rias asked Sona about me since Sona and I appeared without any magic circle which was common for teleportation. I personally found this universe teleportation slow compared to Yggdrasil [Teleportation] spell.
"Greetings, Rias Gremory. I'm Elliot Schneeider, Serafall Leviathan's contracted magician. I'm here because according to the contract I forged with Leviathan that I'm Sona Sitri's guardian during her time in human world. Should the time arose for me either by Serafall or Sona Sitri's order, I will defend her to my best effort."
Well, I couldn't say that I was Serafall's boyfriend, could i? If I did that, Serafall probably marched from the underworld to see me because she will not ever, ever gave someone permission to be Sona's legal guardian in human world without them special in her eyes. My Serafall only gave me Sona's guardianship because I was too strong it made her mind relaxed knowing I could defend her without too much problem.
"Is it true, Sona?"
I could see disbelief in Rias' face. After all both Sona and Rias were completely hate Serafall and Sirzech's interference during their time in human world.
"Yes, Saji had confirmed it himself by saying it was an authentic contract."
Even when Sona said that, she still had her own reservation about said contract.
"But this is Kokabiel, Sona. A Fallen Angel from antiquity time surviving the Great War twice. Some magician like him doesn't stand a chance against him."
Thanks your vote of confidence, Rias. If only you knew how strong I was, you probably scared.
"Ladies… If any consolation, at least I'm as strong as a Maou or a God."
I couldn't let my chance to go since having good relationship with Maous in this world was something I needed. With their vast resources, I could find this monster and back to my world and Serafall.
"You are lying. You even do not radiate aura as strong as my Onii-sama. If anything you are completely human and not a magician either."
"Suit yourself. I don't care whether you believe me or not… Heck I don't even care whether you die or not as my only concern is Sona and her peerage per my contract. To me, you are just a necessity I need to save because you are Sona's friend."
Like usual Rias flared her magical power whenever someone insulting her. Devil like her who prided themselves to be strong in magical prowess which usually as a pointer how strong they were, will die if someone took them seriously in combat.
"Rias… Elliot-san too. Please don't fight. We have problem at hands right now. We cannot afford to fight among ourselves if we want to survive."
Sona tried to avoid the fight we couldn't afford, not that I needed it. Still, I couldn't pick a fight with her if I wanted her brother's help. Truly a bother!
"I'll tolerate you this time."
As if you could beat me. You are way off eternity to beat me, Rias.
"Hai hai, Sona-san."
"Well then, I'll explain the plan. My peerage and I will place a barrier and maintain the barrier to minimize the damage that would be the result of the fight while Rias and her peerage alongside Elliot-san and Xenovia-san fight Kokabiel and his goons. Does anyone object the plan?"
Well, I surely do. By estimation alone, Kokabiel couldn't be defeated by Rias and Sona alongside their peerages even if Issei used Balance Breaker. The presence of exorcist also didn't help either since she was way off too much gap with just an Excalibur Fragment. So I raised my hands.
"What is it, Elliot-san? Do you find the plan unsatisfying?"
I nodded. "If you want, I could seal the whole school completely from outside. Even if you have a nuclear bomb and detonate it inside the school, nothing could escape the barrier I make. So what do you think?"
Sona fell in deep thought thinking like she usually did whenever a hard case appeared on her lap.
"Would it be a problem to power the barrier on your own while fighting Kokabiel? Maintaining a barrier as huge as school area is exhausting even for us Devils and you are only human. Unlike Devil or other supernatural, human is known as the least race to hold magical pool."
It was a fact for this universe that human was the weakest of the bunch of superior race. In Yggdrasil, human could exceed both heteromorphic and demi-human as long as they knew how to build their character. If I wanted I could tell my reserves equals of the half of Ophis enormous MP which exceeding standard even for Yggdrasil though I knew my friend too had the same quantity reserves as Ophis.
"Don't worry about it. Watch me."
I casted a Dimensional Barrier using Dimensional Lost(Mimic) to envelope the whole school with mist then later formed double layer of barrier which functions to isolate the area and directing any outside or inside forces to another area. The former function was laced with [Dimensional Lock] to make it impenetrable for any teleportation spell.
As I was done with the barrier, I looked around only to find astonished faces of the devils and exorcist looking at me.
"A Longinus, but how? I don't feel anything from you. No, you are giving off no power so to speak aside when you used Dimensional Lost." Rias gasped.
I had to hold my laughter seeing their faces. It couldn't be helped since my Mimic was not something that exists in this world. With its properties to copy any Sacred Gear I've ever seen, it could be categorized as Longinus but also not a Longinus. Without someone like me who had power beyond measure for this universe standard, Mimic couldn't be used to its fullest ability. At best, if someone managed to kill me and Mimic was transferred to another user they only could use a hundred or a thousand of its real abilities.
"That's for you to find out and me to keep. Then I'll go first to keep Kokabiel occupied. Come Reverse Polarity of Sword Birth."
A surfboard like sword appeared beneath my feet before I flew in the air as substitution of my wings. After all, just like my world I kept my appearances to everyone with Serafall as the exception though I suspected Ophis knew about it as well considering she could see it using one of her aspects.
Hmm… What a troublesome reality I am in! No real break at all!
Set that aside the closer I got, the clearer my not-worthy-enemies. One Fallen, two dogs and two heretics. At least my world kokabiel was more stylish than his counterpart in this world. This world Kokabiel was truly gloomier than most Fallen Angels that I had seen.
"Greetings Fallen Angel, Heretics and Dogs alike, my name is Elliot Schneeider, nice too meet you." Despite standing above my floating sword, I didn't have any difficulties to bow a little showing some respect since I was in Japan.
"My… What a polite guest we have! Goodbye!" Kokabiel summoned and threw his light spear to his enemy that happened to be me.
Unlike my assistants' light spear that was small, Kokabiel's bigger than them.
"[Balance Breaker: Machinegun Sword Bullet]"
Hail of swords appeared from the sky and shot the light spear down.
My Balance Breaker for Sword Birth that happened I used was one of rare sacred gear specialized in creating swords. I didn't use its counter part because devils received critical damage whenever struck by a holy weapon if they were somehow interrupting me in not conventional way.
[Machinegun Sword Bullet] was one of Balance Breaker I developed for Bladesmith or Sword Birth. Just like the name implied, it was a Balance Breaker to throw the sword like bullets fired by a machinegun. The bullets that it used were any swords or blades that I ever made without Balance Breaker state. Since any damage resulted by Sword Birth or Bladesmith was small, this Balance Breaker made it even by using huge number of quantities of swords for huge power. For someone like me the result was clear, the light spear Kokabiel's made broke down and dissipated in light showers.
"Oya… What a peculiar Balance Breaker you have there! Interesting." Kokabiel laughed.
Don't look me like that. I don't like men. I love women and magical boobs.
Plak‼
I inwardly slapped myself to avert my attention. Damn Issei and his perverted tendencies infecting me. I must clean myself after this.
"Ahem… Kokabiel, Angel of the Stars, will you surrender and face your punishment in Gregory?"
Kokabiel twitched before laughing so hard. "Oh man… You really are a funny man." Then he became serious after light spears in numerous numbers and had equally power like earlier. "Unfortunately I don't come here to play with you. Disappear‼"
"Well then if that was what you want. Let's play." Huge numbers of swords floating around me before shooting themselves to stop the advances of the light spears.
Explosions littered in the sky as Elliot's Sword Birth Balance Breaker battled for supremacy against Kokabiel's Light Spears. Both fighter even didn't looked tired as Swords upon Swords and Spears upon Spears summoned impacting each other creating series of explosions that would be beautiful if it was not life and death matter.
"I'm impressed. It's not every day I can see a human as strong as you in this era." Kokabiel complimented his enemy. In fact, he deeply enjoyed the fight despite he was only used his Light Spears.
The land was full of holes because both Kokabiel and Elliot maneuvered to get a hit clean on their target. The dogs also became victim of their fight baring one frightened and one excited humans seeing at the power both of them displayed.
"I'm honored to be praised by ten winged Angel. I too impressed with you, could stand against me this long." Elliot mocked a bow.
"Aren't you a confident one?"
"Oh yes. I'm very very confident. After all, why would I not confident against a maggot?" Elliot said with haughty tone.
Kokabiel on the other hand, his face contorted into something ugly hearing Elliot insulted him. Having a blast for the fight or not, he still had his own pride as an Angel albeit a Fallen one with ten wings on his belt. "You dare to insult me, Kokabiel, the one who put his blade behind God's back and sent him to his demise in the Great War."
As if universe didn't enough to screw him over in the form of Ophis, the universe also screwed with him in the form of Kokabiel's declaration at the exact moment the Devils and Exorcist appeared from the trees covering the Kuoh Academy shocking them to their core.
It couldn't be helped since God was originally held the seat of No.3 the strongest being in the existences before his demise. Other pantheon also saw God as respectful yet fearsome as he wouldn't let anyone messing with his Faction, the Biblical Faction.
"Kokabiel… You talk too much. [Greater Smite]" Elliot snapped his finger causing Kokabiel burst from inside out and splattered across Kuoh Academy Yard before his insides turned into light motes. "Now then, what am I going to do with you two?"
Elliot was slowly descending from the sky and moving toward the two thinking what punishment he should inflict to both of them. He was having between their memories wiped out thoroughly and dumped them somewhere remotely jungly like amazons to be the food of anacondas or became his soul collections.
One of his Job Class, Reaper, allowed him to reap the soul of a being should they were killed by him. In Yggdrasil, the soul equivalent to EXP Orb that anyone could consume for exp but in this world he could torture the soul or view the memory of the soul which was quite convenient considering he had no idea how the world govern itself.
Looking at the two heretics of the Church, Elliot concluded that the one with Excalibur Fragments was unneeded and the fat one was useful. Elliot stabbed both heretics despite the one with the sword trying to resist him yet still overwhelmed with their physical strength and level in the end.
"[Soul Reaper]" The skill activated and once Elliot retracted his hands, both held an orb for each heretic that died. Elliot then stored the soul that belongs to the one with sword in a jar and viewed the memory of the fat one.
Suffice to say that, Elliot was impressed with the dedication of the fat one despite how deranged his motives were. Against all odds, the fat one managed to produce and replicate the process that he needed to produce a Holy Sword Excalibur or any Holy Sword bearer by harvesting Light Elements that a human in this world had and planted it to another. For the one whom their Light Elements that were taken, they were slowly succumbed to death as the process breaking down their soul and compressed it similar to his soul collections. According to the fat ones memory, he still had a bottle contained souls of the deceased that happened to be the orphanage Isaiah or Kiba Yuuto lived in the past, so he took it.
Releasing a big sigh, Elliot muttered something to himself. "This world is truly troublesome." Turning back, he walked towards the shocked devils and exorcist. "[Mass Cure Abnormal Status]"
"You guys done with your shock?" Elliot yawned.
"How can you be so calm hearing God is dead?" the blue haired exorcist shouted at Elliot.
"So? Should I cried? Frustrated? Or angry? None of those matters since God is dead. God maybe dead but does it makes you lost faith in him? If it does, I pity you." Elliot smirked knowingly. His world YHWH might have been died like this world but the difference was YHWH died stabbed by his own creation instead of exhausted beyond his ability to recover during his fight with Trihexa. YHWH in this world also didn't have a friend like him that could bring him back to live should he choose.
"Then who we are following? We bled and devoted our life for the Church and Heaven only to find the subject our prayers, hopes and dreams for someone who has been dead for a very long time."
"Then I pity you, exorcist. Do you think God can die easily as that? God never died as long as He is inside the heart of His follower."
"You are a Devil's contracted magician not His follower, a heretic. You don't have right to say it."
"Whatever. Kiba-kun, this is your family's soul container. This is what Valper Galilei made in order to create artificial Holy Sword Wielder."
Kiba picked the container from Elliot's hand. He clutched the container into his chest while crying. "Everyone, please forgive me. I have survived where you must sacrifice your life to keep me alive but in the end I was still dying until I was found by Buchou."
"Quite a story, huh. So your hatred is caused by your guilt surviving where anyone died?" Kiba nodded. "Will it go down if I bring them back to life?"
The last statement of Elliot brought shock to anyone who heard it. Resurrection was something impossible for someone who had been long dead unless you had Sephiroth Graal or Holy Grail. Even Evil Pieces only capable brought back someone to life if they didn't die more than five minutes. To think someone could bring people back to life especially for a magician was something inconceivable. But looking an impossibility that Elliot had shown for the past thirty minutes, they just crossed their fingers hoping for the best.
"I can see them again?" Kiba was in a trance thinking he could see his former family once more.
"With a price, of course. I don't know when but someday I will need your help with something and you must come immediately. Is that alright?"
To outsider, Elliot was akin to a Devil in the past. Promising mortal something unattainable in exchange for their soul.
"I accept."
"Are you sure? You can lose your life in the process in order to help me."
"You can't Yuuto-kun. You are my servant and Knight. I forbid you to accept this deal especially when you can lose your life doing it. Elliot-san, while I was thankful for your help for taking care of Kokabiel, in behalf of Kiba Yuuto as his King and Master, I reject this proposal." Rias forbade her Knight. As the Daughter of Grimory, she completely abhorred something dangerous to her servant.
"Buchou…" Kiba sounded desperate.
"What? Do you think this man could bring them back to life, Yuuto-kun? No one can. This is just a scam, nothing more."
"Grimory-san. I would watch my mouth if I were you. I'm not someone you can insult and get away with it lightly. Do you think your beloved brother for a Maou can save you? I can kill every SINGLE Devil, babies, teenagers, adults, elders without bating my eye. Not even, Boosted Gear or any Longinus users you can call can help you. I'll squash them all like bug they are. Kiba-kun, you know where to find me if you changed your mind."
Elliot disappeared along with the barrier that covering the school ground leaving Devils and Exorcist processing what Elliot had just said.
Unbeknownst to everyone, a pair of eyes were watching the whole even from the start.
"Hihi… Found You."
