Happy late 4th of July! I just finished a little past midnight and was also a little drunk when writing as well. Enjoy!
ITALICS = THOUGHTS
NOTE: This is still the memory from during the Devil Civil War
CHAPTER 6
Previously…
"Hai… Naruto-sama… you can kill him. It's for the better of ending this war earlier anyways" she whispered as he nodded his head and teleported to the General. Quickly stabbing him in the heart, Naruto closed his eyes and made his way back, officially ending an ally of Lucifer.
Ajuka, noticing how Naruto finished, created a magic circle to teleport them all to the base camp.
"Also" said Naruto as he stood next to Grayfia "Don't add the -sama in my name. Just call me Naruto or Naruto-kun okay?" said Naruto as he smiled at her, causing her to slightly smile at his kindness.
"Okay.. Naruto-kun" whispered Grayfia as she didn't want Sirzechs and Ajuka to hear her act so unprofessional. She did have a reputation to uphold after all and the only one allowed to see a difference was now Naruto.
"Alright! Let's end this war and bring peace to the Underworld!" shouted Sirzechs as they all disappeared back to base camp.
Present…
Base Camp…
As the three devils and one immortal came back to the base camp, they noticed that the older devils were all grouped up, discussing strategies on how to stop the advancement of the satan faction. Ravial was currently talking, while Zeoticus, Venelana, Raven, Steven, Serena and some other devils listened to his tactics. As Ravial continued talking, he was interrupted by Sirzechs who decided to announce his presence.
"We're back everyone and we got a new ally!" yelled Sirzechs as he smiled broadly towards the older devils. As the older devils raised an eyebrow at who the new ally was, Sirzechs grin only widened as he pointed his hand towards Grayfia who looked towards them with a stoic face and introduced herself to them.
"Hello everyone, my name is Grayfia Lucifuge and I will help fight to end this war." she said as she bowed her head down. The older devils were shocked that they were able to gain such a powerful ally on their side, but were a little skeptical because of her known status of serving the Lucifer household for generations. Venelana, who was skeptical about the ordeal decided to speak her mind about her skepticism.
"Hello Grayfia-san. You are a prominent figure for the satan faction and a powerful one at that, so why would you suddenly defect to our side? Are you planning on betraying us because you have been serving Lucifer for generations?" said Venelana as she wanted to make sure that nothing bad would happen and cost them the war.
"Kaa-sa-" Sirzechs was about to assure his mother that nothing wrong would happen with Grayfia about defecting back to the satan faction, but said person in question beat him to it.
"I will not be defecting back to the satan faction because I now owe my life to Naruto-sama. I wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for him giving me a choice." said Grayfia as she lightly smiled when remembering his generosity towards her whereas any other devil would've killed her on the spot.
Venelana nodded her head from the words said by Grayfia. It sounded like her life was now in the hands of another, and one that seemed to be trustworthy as well. With that in her mind, Venelana turned her head to Naruto, who had his eyes closed throughout the entire ordeal, looking as calm and as handsome as ever. 'What was that thought just now? He's handsome, yes, but I have a husband right now.' thought Venelana as she shook her head from such thoughts and focused on the current topic.
"Is this true Naruto-san? Is her life now in your hands and are you sure she will not betray us?" questioned Venelana as she waited for him to answer her question. What she got was him opening his eyes and looking around the room and focusing his eyes onto Venelana, who waited patiently for his answer.
For a few moments, Naruto was just staring at Venelana with a blank look, while said devil started to grow impatient from his lack of response.
"Well? Is it true?" said Venelana as she put her hands on her hip and started to tap her foot impatiently, unfit for a high class devil such as herself.
"Ummm what was the question again? I dozed out for a second there" said Naruto as he picked his right ear and looked around the room.
Everyone in the room, save for Venelana sweatdropped at his unprofessionalism and lack of respect, while Venelana grew irritated from his answer. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she repeated her question for him again. It would be unwise to throw a fit about his rudeness when they were in the middle of a civil war.
"I repeat… are you sure that Grayfia-san will not betray us and her life is now in your hands?" she said as Naruto nodded his head at her question.
"Of course she won't betray us. She is now MINE and I am confident that everything that is mine will stay mine and no one else's." said Naruto as Grayfia lightly blushed at how possessive he already was of her when they were just enemies a few moments ago.
"I see… Then I will trust you with your word" said Venelana as she, along with Raven and Serena thought that his possessiveness was an alluring trait of his. With that topic out of the way, Ravial put them up to speed with what they were currently planning and continued his strategy about what would happen.
Naruto, who was standing next to Grayfia, whispered "Don't worry Grayfia. I will make sure that nothing bad happens to you. I will keep my word on that." Those words made her blush again, something that Naruto caught and chuckled at her shyness.
Serafall and Falbium, who were leading a separate army, came back to base camp to confirm their lead over the Old Satan Faction. They made their way towards Sirzechs, Ajuka, Naruto, and Grayfia, where they were told of Grayfia's allegiance towards them.
As Serafall listened to the strategy, she remembered the encounter she had with Naruto and blushed at the memory. What made her blush even more was the fact that she was standing next to him and felt the power coming off of him. Power attracts female devils after all.
"-fall. Serafall!" said Sirzechs, snapping Serafall out of her stupor. Everyone was looking at her with confused looks about her lack of response, making her blush out of embarrassment.
"Yes?" she said as Sirzechs sighed at her failing to understand the plan that they were about to execute. This plan would be the turning point in the war that will drastically change everything for them.
"You, along with Grayfia will use your ice to halt the forces of the Old Satan Faction army, while I, along with Naruto will obliterate them as fast as possible to drastically decrease their numbers. Ajuka and Falbium will make sure that no harm will come our way and also advance our army. Understand? It's essential that you work together with Grayfia." said Sirzechs as Serafall nodded her head and looked towards Grayfia, who nodded her head towards her.
"Ok. I understand." said Serafall as she turned towards Grayfia and nodded her head towards her. "I hope we get along and work together" she said as Grayfia nodded her head once again in approval.
"Great! Now we can put this plan in motion and finally end this war" said Zeoticus, but before he could tell them to put the plan in motion, Naruto raised his hand. "Yes Naruto-san?" he questioned.
"Before we fight, who is leading the Old Satan faction so I can understand who we are going up against." he said as Zeoticus nodded at the question.
"The ones currently leading are the descendents of the Satans: Rizevim Livan Lucifer, Shalba Beelzebub, Creuserey Asmodeus, and Katerea Leviathan. Rizevim, however is nowhere to be seen during the entirety of the war, so we believe that he is in hiding. So, we would be fighting against 3 out of the 4 descendents of the original Satans" said Zeoticus. Not having Rizevim greatly increases their chances of winning the war because he is just as strong as Sirzechs and Ajuka, who both are considered to be Super Devils.
Naruto, whose original task was to assist Sirzechs to end the Civil War, understood that the war was coming to a close, and that his time with helping them would be over. However, he felt compelled to stay longer with them, even after the war is over. 'Staying with 5 beautiful ladies is also a plus as well' thought Naruto as he looked over at Venelana, Serena, Raven, Serafall, and Grayfia and nodded his head in approval.
"I see. This war should be coming to an end now, with us being the victors." said Naruto as Grayfia, who was by his side, nodded her head, but was worried about meeting her ex-comrades again and facing the backlash of her defection.
"Alright finally! Enough talking. Let's end this war now and go!" shouted Sirzechs as everyone in the room yelled in agreement.
As they all started to teleport to the ally camp closest to the Old Satan Faction base, Naruto reassured Grayfia about her decision to defect. "Don't worry about what your ex-comrades think about your defection. After all, this wouldn't have had to happen if they thought about preserving the devil race." whispered Naruto as he seemingly read her thoughts and worries.
"Hai Naruto-sama. I'll try not to" whispered back Grayfia, making Naruto nod his head in satisfaction. Thinking about their encounter and fight, Grayfia couldn't help but be happy that she was not under the oppressiveness of the Old Satan Faction and now with a person that has been nothing but generous and kind towards her. 'He is a really nice person' thought Grayfia as she looked down at her hands to hide her smile.
Ally base camp near Old Satan Faction…
"Okay. Now that we are here, lets make sure that everything goes to plan." said Ravial as everyone else teleported into the base camp to make sure that everything goes smoothly for them. "The rest of our army should be coming in just a few moments. That means that there will be approximately 50,000 of us fighting the main location for the Old Satan Faction." he said.
"Let's keep the injuries to a minimum by grouping up. Make sure that no one is ever alone because that gives the enemy an opportunity to slowly deplete our forces, which is something that must be prevented" said Steven, who is leading the medical unit for the Anti-Satan Faction. Everyone there understood how serious he was to be in groups because of how he has to deal with the injuries with his team.
Shortly after his talk, the rest of the devil army teleported around the base camp to get ready for the upcoming fight.
"Alright, Grayfia and Serafall, you two will be on the front lines freezing everything in our path, while Sirzechs and Naruto will destroy afterwards. Me and Falbium will continue leading the army to make sure that no ambushes come our way" said Ajuka. He is leading the group, while the older devils stayed back to make sure nothing came through, making them the final defense.
"Ok!" said everyone. With that, the devils plus immortal started to head out and prepared to head straight towards the Old Satan Faction base.
Old Satan Faction Base…
"Katarea-sama! We have a problem right now. Our forces are depleting rapidly because of the attacks from the Anti-Satan Faction and Grayfia hasn't returned from her operation yet. Nor has the General either!" shouted a devil as he rushed in the area Katerea Leviathan was resting.
"Stupid Anti-Satan Faction trash! Grayfia hasn't come back either?! She either died or defected. Go now and gather all the troops! I will call in Creuserey and Shalba to help." said Katarea as she got ready. Katerea is a tall, beautiful woman with long brown hair tied in a bun, and a voluptuous figure. Her outfit has a slit down the middle, showing her large assets.
"Where the fuck is Rizevim! He should be helping us out with this shit" cursed Katerea as she called Creuserey and Shalba to help attack. "Creuserey, Shalba! We need to attack the Anti-Satan Faction now or else we will have to retreat!" yelled Katerea through the magical speaker.
"Already?! I will gather my troops to come there immediately. These Anti-Satan trash don't know when to fucking stop" yelled Shalba through the speaker.
"I will gather my troops as well and will be there as fast as possible" said Creuserey through the speaker.
"Ok. Hurry up or else we are going to be in trouble. I can't believe we are having so much trouble against these lowly bastards" said Katerea as she ended the call. Before she could even get ready to leave her room, another devil barged in with more urgent news.
"Katerea-sama! The Anti-Satan Faction is moving towards us at a fast rate. Our forces are getting frozen over and destroyed! I've got intel that it looks like Grayfia-sama has defected over to them and is working with Serafall Sitri on the offense!" yelled a devil.
"Grayfia has defected over?! That fucking traitor! I'm going out right now to destroy these bastards. The other two will be coming soon so I will fucking hold out" yelled Katerea out of frustration. She leaked out immense demonic power to the point where the room started to shake. The devil who was in the room with her quickly took his leave out of fear, leaving her to herself.
Battlefield with Anti-Satan Faction…
"[Ice of the Devil: Blizzard] [Ice Flowers]" yelled Grayfia and Serafall respectively. The devils of the Old Satan Faction that were rushing towards them were suddenly frozen by the attacks of the two female devils. Grayfia's attacks slowed them down tremendously, followed up by Serafall's attack which were large ice flowers that blew up, freezing everything within its vicinity, which in this case were the Old Satan Faction devils.
"[Power of Destruction: Rain]" yelled Sirzechs. The devils encased in ice were all destroyed by the rain made out of the Power of Destruction, clearing the area in front of them instantly.
The rest of the army from the Old Satan Faction were shocked by how quickly their offensive force got obliterated, and only three of their enemies were attacking them. If only three of their members were able to clear a large chunk of the army, what would happen when all of them attacked? The only thing the soldiers from the Old Satan Faction could do is stall until three out of their four leaders come to save them.
While the Old Satan Faction were frozen in shock by what just happened to their offensive force, Sirzechs was have a one-sided argument with Naruto, who was not listening to what he was shouting about at all.
"Naruto! How could you not attack with me?! We are supposed to clean up together. I'm not supposed to do all the work together!" shouted Sirzechs, while Naruto picked his right ear, looking at anything else other than Sirzechs for a moment, until he stopped to look at him.
"Sirzechs, you were perfectly capable of doing the attack by yourself. Grayfia and Serafall worked together perfectly, instantly destroying those fools, so there was no need for me to waste my energy on them right now." said a straight faced Naruto. Sirzechs grew irritated by how lazy he was, while Grayfia and Serafall blushed lightly from his praise.
"Stop being so lazy and work together. If I recall, aren't you supposed to help me defeat the Old Satan Faction? That was my wish after all, so you have to work together with me" argued Sirzechs, causing Naruto to sigh at his stubbornness. Grayfia and Serafall, who momentarily forgot about the war, were confused about why Naruto exactly would be obligated to listen to Sirzech.
Grayfia, who was curious asked Naruto "Naruto-sama, why are you listening to Sirzechs-san command?" Serafall nodded at the question as well, curious because as far as the both of them could tell, Naruto was stronger than Sirzechs by a large margin.
"I am working for Sirzechs because he found my place of rest and awoke me. I said I would grant one wish within my power to the person who awoke me, and Sirzechs was the one who found me. He wished for me to help end the war." explained Naruto, who noticed that the Old Satan Faction started to push.
"What happens after you grant his wish. Where will you go then?" asked Serafall, as she was unsure if she wanted the blonde to leave just yet. His presence was comforting and his actions made her feel strange. Grayfia was also worried that she wouldn't be with her master anymore if he completes the wish.
"Don't worry about that right now. I'm still deciding about that. I will give my answer after the war okay? Right now lets focus on winning this war because their moving towards us right now." said Naruto as he pointed ahead of them, where the Old Satan Faction army was moving.
"A-ah, right, let's move " said an embarrassed Sirzechs, while Grayfia and Serafall could only nod in embarrassment about forgetting that they were currently fighting in a war.
As the four started to refocus, Ajuka shouted at them, causing them to halt.
"Hold on!" yelled Ajuka, causing the four to look behind to see him moving his hand, telling them to come to him. They listened to his command, as he was the current leader, and rushed back towards him.
"I sensed another presence that arrived on their side. It is vastly stronger than any of the other signatures there, so I assume that it is either Katerea, Shalba, or Creuserey." explained Ajuka. Naruto, who nodded his head at the observation, raised his head and explained who he thought was there.
"I think that it is Katerea. I can sense the aura around a person, he decided to leave Senjutsu out of his explanation, and see that it resembles a woman. Man you female devils have some insane genetics. Your bodies are very sexy." said Naruto, while giving a thumbs up to Grayfia and Serafall. Grayfia and Serafall, in turn slapped Naruto in the back of the head, calling him a pervert, both blushing at his shamelessness.
"Well, let's just have Grayfia and Serafall do the same thing as before. Naruto please work together with Sirzechs this time. The faster we end their army, the better. We need to end Katerea before Shalba and Creuserey come to help her. The three of them fighting together could prove to be very troublesome, and potentially increase the duration of the war. Falbium and I will continue to lead the army" said Ajuka, ignoring Naurot's previous statement about female devil genetics.
"Ok!" shouted the four as they went and prepared to defeat the Old Satan Faction.
With the Old Satan Faction…
"Katerea-sama! Thank Lucifer you are here now! We don't know how long we would last without your help. The enemies are currently distracted by something so we should attack now!" shouted a devil general.
"No, we must wait for Shalba and Creuserey to arrive. For now, just push to assert our dominance. We can't let these Anti-Satan Faction scum advance and defeat us. Losing is not an option, especially with Grayfia defecting to their side" spat Katerea. As much as she wanted to destroy the Anti-Satan Faction army, she was not strong enough to defeat two devils on par with Rizevim, Grayfia, and an entire army. Serafall, she could beat, but the person with the blonde hair was an unknown entity to her.
"Looks like they are pushing right now" muttered Katerea. 'Shalba and Creuserey are almost here, so we might as well fight now. I can stall for time with my defensive abilities' thought Katerea. She might as well fight now and stall for the other two to come to help her.
"Devils! For the sake of our race and for the preservation of our fallen leaders, we must give everything and fight! Let's destroy these scum!" yelled Katerea, getting a cheer from her army. They in turn started to rush towards the Anti-Satan Faction in hopes of crushing them.
With Grayfia, Serafall, Naruto and Sirzechs…
"Looks like Katerea riled them up" said Serafall, hearing the female devil shout to her army. The fast pace coming from the enemy army was also another indication that she did something to fuel them up.
"Get ready to use some of your strongest attacks. We need to get rid of them as fast as possible and focus on Katerea." said Sirzechs. He was confident that the two female devils could defeat the entire army, but if they couldn't, then there was always Ajuka, Falbium and their army coming in.
"[Ice of the Devil: Blizzard] [Ice Flowers]" yelled Grayfia and Serafall a second time. They were thinking that their attacks would penetrate the Old Satan Faction defenses, but their attacks had no effect, other than getting absorbed by magical energy.
"Shit" cursed Grayfia. She had a feeling this would happen, as Katerea was there to defend them. "This was Katerea's work. She is known for her defensive capabilities and must have known that we were going to attack first."
"Let's attack all at once. I'm sure that Katerea can't absorb all the attacks at once." said Sirzechs. Their army was still on standby. If Katerea is able to absorb all of their attacks, then he would be forced to signal Ajuka to attack with them.
"Let's attack now" muttered Sirzechs. He didn't want the enemy to hear him and instinctively defend. They needed to shock them.
"[Ice of the Devil: Blizzard] [Ice Flowers] [Power of Destruction: Rain]" said Grayfia, Serafall, and Sirzechs. Naruto waited a bit for the attacks to shoot, before muttering his. "[Raijin]" muttered Naruto.
Katerea, who saw their attacks, prepared a larger absorption hole to defend her army. It didn't matter how strong her enemy was. This defense is her strongest and is able to absorb multiple Super Devil attacks.
Grayfia, Sirzechs, and Serafall hoped their attacks would penetrate Katerea's defenses, but sadly, their attacks got absorbed into her hole, but what shocked them afterwards was the massive amount of concentrated electricity that broke through Katerea's barrier and destroyed the front line of her army.
They turned their heads towards Naruto, who looked unfazed by his attack, and looked at them. "Well?" said Naruto. "Let's push. Sirzechs, tell Ajuka and Falbium to attack with us. Let's just end this, I'm getting tired." His response caused the three of them to just nod their heads. If this guy was so overpowered to destroy a barrier that the three of them combined couldn't, then why didn't he just end it already.
"Why don't you just end this war. You're clearly on another level than us, so why don't you quickly end it?" questioned Sirzechs. All he got was an eyebrow raise from Naruto.
"Why would I fight your wars? I only said that I would help you win the war, not do it for you. This is your own war to fight, and all I will do is assist. If I was to end this war now, then you would clearly learn nothing and gain nothing from this, other than unwarranted arrogance. Learn to fight for yourself and don't rely on others for help." berated Naruto. He also didn't want to do so much work either, but they didn't need to know that.
"That…. Makes sense" muttered Serafall, as she understood how important it is to not overly rely on others for help. She was spoiled by her parents when growing up and saw how some other devils weren't as fortunate as her. Relying on her parents would just make her a selfish brat.
"All right then!" With renewed vigor, Sirzechs signalled Ajuka and Falbium to push with them. Working together as an army will be the most efficient way to fight the thousands of devils.
"We must go fast. It seems like Shalba and Creuserey arrived as well, and with an army. I just sensed thousands of new signatures and two stronger signatures arrive." said Falbium. He wanted to make sure that their side would sustain minimal casualties, but it seems like their chances of minimal casualties is gone.
"Let's go then! I'm tired of waiting around. This is our chance to win. Rizevim is absent and the rest of them are here! Let's end this" shouted Sirzechs. He wanted to hype up everyone, and it indeed worked. He was also tired of hearing the same thing repeatedly as well. Their army shouted in support, and Grayfia, Serafall, Falbium, and Naruto, smiled.
Old Satan Faction during Naruto's attack…
"Ho-How did that attack destroy my ultimate defense" whispered Katerea in shock. This blonde proved to be more troublesome and dangerous than she thought. Just as she thought it would get any more worse for her, Katerea felt the presence of her two allies, causing her to smile slightly at the silver lining.
Shalba Beelzebub is a relatively handsome man with brown hair that reaches all the way down to his hip. His long brown hair covers his right eye. His outfit consists of black armor that covers his entire body, except for his head and a black cape.
Creuserey Asmodeus is another good looking man with pale skin, pointy ears, and his hair tied up in a ponytail. His outfit consists of a black and red garb, similar to that of a shinobi, a black cape, and red/black boots.
"Katerea… You can't even protect your army from an attack. How pathetic" said Shalba, immediately causing Katerea to scowl at his ignorance and arrogance.
"Just for your information, I was able to block Sirzechs, Serafall, and Grayfia's attacks combined, but the blonde over there was somehow able to penetrate my defense and destroy the front of my army with his lightning attack. He is a very dangerous enemy, so I will warn you about him.
Shalba didn't take her warning very seriously and laughed at her, while Creuserey was a little skeptical about it.
"HAHAHAAHA! You are very funny Katerea. Let's just get this over with and fight. I don't want to hear your jokes anymore" he said. Katerea scowled at his words, but didn't say anything because she wanted to end this war and needed him to fight together with her.
"Soldiers!" yelled Shalba, getting the attention of the entirety of the Old Satan Faction army, which was about 35,000 devils. "Get ready to fight. With me here now, we will win!" shouted Shalbla, getting shouts from the army. With that, the Old Satan Faction Army was ready to take down the Anti-Satan Faction army.
With the Anti-Satan Faction Army…
"They're coming at us right now so prepare yourselves" yelled Ajuka. This fight was going to be brutal and he wanted to make sure everyone was ready for it.
"[Ice of the Devil: Dragon] [Ice Explosion]" yelled Grayfia and Serafall. Their attack almost landed on the enemy army, had not it been for the defense Katerea erected just before it happened and absorbed both attacks.
"Tch" said both female devils. Thinking the same thing, they both shouted "Naruto! Destroy the barrier! We both will go attack Katerea head on, while Ajuka and Falbium will attack Creuserey. Shalba after you destroy the defense!" Katerea's defense wouldn't be able to defend against his attack, and it would take a while before she would be able to create another one as well.
Nodding at them, Naruto prepared to use the same move against them. After all, since it worked the last time, it would work again. Gathering natural energy, Naruto muttered "[Raijin]".
A large concentration of electrical energy thundered down upon Katerea's defense, but before it reached the defense, a figure stood in between the two and blocked the attack.
Shalba, who noticed the importance of the defense, jumped in to take on the attack head on. He's widely known for his physical defense and could take a multitude of attacks, so being none the wiser, he jumped to take on Naruto's attack.
"Argh!" shouted Shalba. He did prevent Naruto's attacks from hitting Katerea's defense, but in turn, he felt the electric currents throughout his body, paralyzing him and prevented him from moving from his position, which was directly in front of Katerea's defense. He was in a very dangerous and vulnerable position.
Naruto was a little shocked that Shalba didn't die from his attack and was impressed that he put himself in front of the strong defense made by Katerea. 'He's smarter than he looks' thought Naruto. While Shalba did indeed block his attack, [Raijin] was an attack that paralyzed its opponent when fazed directly. This was his time for a second, more dangerous attack.
"[Amaterasu]" whispered Naruto. Jet black flames quickly engulfed Shalba, Katerea's defense, and the area around it. His attack killed thousands of enemy devils, destroyed Katerea's defense, and left Shalba writhing in agony.
"ARGHHHHHHH!" screamed Shalba, as he felt his skin melting from the intensity of the flames. It was very hard for him to think of anything at the time other than getting the flames around him extinguished.
"[Beelzebub Defense: Expel]" screamed Shalba. A cloak of pure demonic energy surrounded Shalba, and attempted to expel the flames around him by force. However, his move did nothing, but strengthen the intensity of the flames.
Meanwhile, Grayfia, who quickly witnessed the move that would've hit her, had it not been for her dodging the attack, was shocked by how even Shalba's physical defense, which he was known for, couldn't extinguish the flames.
'[Amaterasu] is an attack that creates flames that last for 7 days and nights. It is extremely difficult to extinguish, other than by the user, or by some powerful magic.' said Naruto through a mental link to Grayfia. Grayfia was none the wiser to the oncoming voice of Naruto and momentarily froze. She had to quickly dodge Katerea's attack that was about to hit her.
'Naruto-sama, please warn me the next time you talk to me through telepathy. I did not know you had that ability and it's a little disturbing. We are going to have to talk about this afterwards' said Grayfia through the mental link Naruto established with her.
'Sorry' said an unapologetic Naruto, before he closed the clink between the two.
Back to Shalba, who had no way of extinguishing the flames, was quickly deteriorating, and had to force himself to submit to get help from another member. "CREUSEREY! HURRY UP AND COME HELP ME EXTINGUISH THESE FLAMES!" bellowed Shalba.
Creuserey, who was currently fighting both Ajuka and Falbium inwardly cursed at the problem. If he were to go help Shalba, that would mean he would be vulnerable from their attacks. However, if he left Shalba to die, then they would be severely wounded and have a high chance of losing the war.
Seeing that Creuserey was distracted, Falbium let loose his attack. "[Offensive Mode: Release}" shouted Falbium. All of the stored of demonic energy he received from his attacks was let loose into a single beam of charged demonic energy. Aiming it towards Creuserey, it resulted in a large explosion around the area, sending devils from both sides flying.
As the smoke cleared, all that was left was floating particles in the air.
"Shit! That was a fucking clone! He probably created one before the attack hit him" cursed Ajuka. He noticed that Creuserey was doing nothing to block the attack, and as soon as the beam hit and the explosion occurred, his energy signature disappeared instantly. However, even Ajuka thought that he died from the attack.
Off to the center of the battlefield where Shalba resided, Creuserey was also there, healing Shalba and extinguishing the flames.
"[Asmodeus Recovery: Dispel]" said a labored Creuserey as he concentrated a large amount of energy to wrap Shalba in a shroud, stopping the flames from burning him, and effectively burning it out. The shroud was healing up Shalba at a fast rate, only lasting a few seconds before disappearing, relieving Shalba of his burns.
The toll it took from Creuserey was tremendous because he had to time his escape perfectly, creating a clone out of pure demonic energy to escape before the beam hit him. This spell took a large amount from his reserves and he also had to heal Shalba as well. Both of the spells effectively rendered him useless for a short period of time, making him unable to fight Ajuka and Falbium.
",,Shalba" wheezed Creuserey as he finished healing him. "I can't fight for a few minutes right now. My reserves are very low because of their attacks and my healing spell…. You have to fight them as well" he said before he disappeared, finding a place to heal without anyone fighting him.
"Tch.. Fucking useless. I have to do this all by myself. Fine. I'll show them not to mess with Shalba Beelzebub" sneered Shalba as he focused and gathered a large amount of demonic energy.
With Ajuka and Falbium…
"Shit, I can't sense Creuserey anywhere. He must've left to fill up his reserves." said Ajuka, as he tried to sense his energy signature, but failed to find it. "We should help the others right now. You go fight Katerea with Grayfia-san and Serafall, while I'll help Naruto and Sirzechs" commanded Ajuka. Nodding at his command, Falbium set off to help the two female devils.
Noticing a spike in demonic energy, Ajuka quickly turned his head to see Shalba looking like he's never been scratched. He was currently surrounded in a dense cloak of demonic energy, showing that he was not playing around anymore.
"Shit. This just cannot get any worse can it?" said Ajuka as he quickly flew over to Sirzechs and Naruto, who were about to unleash attacks on him.
"[Power of Destruction: Explode] [Great Fire Annihilation]" said Sirzechs and Naruto respectively. Sirzechs attack was a condensed ball of the Power of Destruction when landed, created a massive explosion. Naruto's attack was a giant fireball and the impact was as strong as an earthquake.
Expecting Shalba to be injured from both attacks, both of them were a little shocked to see Shalba still concentrating and not even fazed by both attacks.
"His defense is almost legendary in itself and that cloak of demonic energy that's surrounding him right now is protecting him from almost any attack." said Ajuka as he landed next to Sirzechs and Naruto. "He is pretty much invincible when he focuses like that, so we must attack when he starts to attack us said Ajuka.
Just as he finished explaining Shalba's defense, the man in question opened his eyes, looking as calm as ever and confident as ever. With his newfound energy, he charged towards the three men.
With Grayfia, Serafall, Falbium, and Katerea…
An injured Katerea was currently panting as Serafall and Grayfia were unscathed from the battle.
"Give up Katerea, and your death will be a painless one" said Serafall as she readied to give another blow to Katerea, intent on obliterating her.
"Katerea, give up now or else we will be forced to defeat you" said Grayfia, as she also readied her attack. Falbium nodded at both of them and readied to attack as well.
"SHUT UP! Especially you, you fucking traitor!" bellowed Katerea as she charged up more demonic energy and shot it towards them.
Grayfia, Serafall, and Falbium easily dodged her attack, but before they could regather their energy, Katerea was suddenly behind them, hitting all three of them on the back. "[Leviathan Offense: Piercing Howl]" shouted Katera. A stream of demonic energy was raining down behind the three devils, sending them crashing into the ground.
"That was a lucky shot" panted Serafall as she got back up and flew back, as did Grayfia and Falbium. They gathered together and stayed a distance away from Katerea, not giving her a chance to attack them alone.
"Tch!" said Katerea as she was slowly losing energy from continuous attacks and defending. She would not be able to last much longer and needed Creuserey immediately. Quickly looking around, she couldn't find his presence and inwardly cursed at the problem 'That bastard leaving us! How dare he. I can't last much longer and need him'
Falbiumnoticed Katerea distracted and quickly told Serafall and Grayfia the plan. Using her distracted state as an opportunity, they decided to give it their all in a combined attack on her.
Quickly flying towards Katerea, Serafall and Grayfia charged their demonic energy and launched their attack upon her. "[Ice of the Devil: Bellow][Ice Beam][Offensive Mode: Release]" shouted Grayfia and Serafall respectively. A large torrent of ice, a beam of concentrated ice, and a beam of demonic energy shot towards Katerea.
Having no time to dodge, Katerea was forced to take the attacks head on, launching her into a group of fighting devils and froze everything within the vicinity.
"ARGH!" screamed Katerea as blood shot out of her mouth and the hole created in her stomach. With no devil capable of healing her, she had no choice but to flee the scene and abandon the army and Shalba.
Quickly creating a magical circle, she shouted "I'll be fucking back you shitty devils. Next time, I'll end all of you and relish it, especially you, you fucking traitor!" screamed Katerea as she pointed at Grayfia one last time before quickly escaping.
Grayfia and Serafall let out a sigh of relief, while Falbium let out a tired breath. A large threat was out of their way for the time being. Looking around, the only powerful figure left was Shalba Beelzebub since Creuserey left to recover (probably indefinitely) and Katerea escaped. Looking at each other, they decided to clean up on the remaining enemy soldiers to reduce the injuries. They were confident that Ajuka, Sirzechs, and Naruto could finish off Shalba together. All of them together would just be pointless.
With Shalba, Ajuka, Sirzechs, and Naruto…
Shalba in his enhanced state was proving to be a difficult opponent for the two devils, while Naruto was not helping much. Sirzechs and Ajuka were having a difficult time working together because Shalba was not giving them an opportunity to work together.
"[Beelzebub Offense: Raging Bees]" a large concentration of bees appeared out of a magic circle and shot large amounts of demonic energy at the three men. Shalba was also attacking as well, making it even more difficult for them to work together, as they were constantly dodging.
"Naruto! Focus on the bees while me and Ajuka will focus on Shalba. Hurry!" shouted Sirzechs. He knew that Naruto would not help them in fighting Shalba because Naruto wanted them to gain more experience. The bees were the only option that would distract Shalba for a moment, giving Ajuka and him a perfect chance to attack.
"Oh no you fucking don't!" shouted Shalba as he momentarily left Sirzechs to go straight to Naruto, who was currently destroying the bees. As he was rushing at Naruto, he was suddenly forced to stop because of being in a bind.
Ajuka, who saw Shalba rushing towards Naruto, trapped him in a bind with one of his most powerful spells. "[Kankara Formula #10: Eternal Prison]" shouted Ajuka. A formula created string entrapped Shalba, effectively stopping all of his movement.
Shalba desperately tried to force his way out of the bind using his demonic energy, but it only served to tighten the bind, strangling him even more.
"Both of you attack!" shouted Naruto. Ajuka and Sirzechs were already ahead of him and focused all of their energy into a combined attack. "[Ruin the Extinct][Kankara Formula #99: Death]" said Sirzechs and Ajuka respectively. A condensed ball of Power of Destruction was wrapped in a stream of numbers and formulas, all surrounded with an aura of death.
All was silent when the attack landed, but a wave of energy quickly pulsated that was felt all throughout the battlefield. As the attack finished, the left portion of Shalba's body was obliterated. All Shalba could do was gasp from the power, not having the ability to even scream from the intensity of the attack.
Ajuka and Sirzechs were very tired, breathing heavily from the combined attack and the injuries sustained from Shalba. This was easily their hardest fight in their lives and it looks like they just won. As they were about to finish him off, Shalba quickly pulled out a scroll. A portal was erected under him, effectively sucking him in, leaving no trace of him behind.
"We beat him…" whispered Sirzechs as all traces of Shalba was gone. Looking around the battlefield, he noticed that all of the enemy devils were gone, with Serafall finishing off the last one. Tears of happiness started to come out of Sirzechs's eyes as all of them gathered together, with the army surrounding them.
"We did it. WE WON THE WAR!" shouted Sirzechs as everyone around him shouted in agreement, even Naruto.
As they were all celebrating the victory, Naruto observed the reaction of everyone around him. Sirzechs, Ajuka, Falbium, and Serafall were all hugging each other in happiness about finally being the victors and even Grayfia let out a large smile from finally being free from the Old Satan Faction. He had to choose about leaving them after accomplishing his task, or staying a little more and he finally had an answer to give them.
Finally, the Anti-Satan Faction won the war and in style as well. I kind of compressed the battle scenes as I didn't want to drag it out a lot. I found the chapter to be satisfying and can finally finish the memory. The memory will probably last 1 or 2 more chapters before going back to the present. Most of the moves are OC, and I like it that way.
Also, Grayfia is a little OC as well, and I'm glad that you like it. Her being cold all the time is pretty boring and I never liked it very much. She needs character too!
