A/N: I noticed that in the light novel, the name of the leader of the holy sword project was 'Balba Galilei' in contrast to the wiki's 'Valper Galilei'. Just so you don't get confused. I would be using Valper Galilei instead of 'Balba Galilei'.

Also, please note that I would use the term 'Divine Sword' for referring to Ame no Murakumo which is different from the 'Holy Sword' in the DxD world. The same goes for 'Divine Power' and 'Holy Power'. Anyway to make it simple, if I ever use the term divine power, it means Godou's magic and if used holy power it's the power of angel and fallen angels.

And lastly please check out the poll I've set up on my profile.


Chapter 7

Hearing the voice that sent shivers down their spine, the surrounding air suddenly felt chilly. The amount of killing intent that Kokabiel was releasing was enough to freeze their actions where they were standing. A being that survived the great war was completely out of their league.

With Kiba and Irina unconcious and Asia healing them, only the occult and student council members with the courtesy of Xenovia were currently present and are able to fight. They knew that they had a slim chance of winning yet, they conquered their fear headed outside to face the enemy.

"Mmmh? I was so sure that you all would run away like little rats you are. But I never expected you to face me head on."

Floating in the sky was man wearing a black robes. As one would expect from one of the leaders of Grimori, he had 10 black wings sprouting from his back. Each representing the power he held as one of the strongest fallen angels. Just below him were two people, most probably his comrades.

Holding two swords of the opposite colour of black and white and still had a crazy looks on his face was the very person that almost killed Issei. His silvery white hair accompanied by blood red eyes were the same as ever. Giving a 'Kufufufu' laugh was none other than Freed Sellzen.

Besides him was an elderly man. He had gray hair due to his old age and was wearing a priest's clothes. Below his nose was a bushy mustache and held in his hands was a thick book. Judging by his looks, he was probably the exiled priest that was responsible for the holy sword project, Valper Galilei.

"Kuhahahahahaha. We meet again dragon boy. I'll be sure to kill you this time with my Excalibur-chans!"

"Freed..." Issei muttered in a low voice.

Talking to Sona, Rias decided to make the student council set up a barrier to prevent people from going close to the school and another barrier to minimise the damages dealt to the school buildings.

Their plan was for the Gremory team to hold out as long as possible while the Sitri group was in charge of placing barriers and contacting the higher ups about this sudden attack.

Parting ways with another, an attack was sent to the Gremory group. Bright as the sun, a spear of light descended towards them. Its speed comparable to an arrow shot by a professional archer cut through the air smoothly.

The spear of light approached when a silhouette of a person holding a massive sword and was heavily releasing pure holy power jumped in front. The sword was swung and deflected the incoming spear of light.

Standing in front was a girl with a cross on her chest. Her blue hair and green fringe was flowing in the air smoothly due to shock wave created by the encounter of the sword and the spear.

"Xenovia. Is that your holy sword?" Issei asked. His body went cold as he felt the holy power it was giving out.

"Yeah. This is the holy sword Durandal. Although I'm still having trouble at using it."

Freed laughed seeing Xenovia's sword. He was releasing killing intent as he charged forward intending to slice the girl before him.

He had two holy sword on both his hand but in terms of power, both the Excaliburs would be needed to equal the Durandal's destructive nature.

Freed swung the sword on his right hand slashing down at Xenovia, while the sword on his left arm was prepared to strike at any opening it see.

Xenovia immediately blocked the downward slash and relying on her reflexes alone, she jumped backwards avoiding the deadly sword that was fast approaching her stomach. She regained her stance and began to prepare for a counter attack.

She leaped forwards and continued running towards Freed. With barely two metres separating the both of them, Xenovia gripped tightly on her Durandal. Using all her strength, she sent a diagonal slash imbued in holy power to strengthen it and make the attack deal more damage.

With only mini-seconds to respond at the attack, Freed desperately tried to block the Durandal coming towards him. He managed to blocked the Durandal using one of the Excaliburs but was sent flying away. His body rolled across the floor until it hit the school building, successfully destroying the wall.

Beneath the cloudy smoke, a silhouette stood up. Despite receiving an attack of that quality, he still managed to stood up as if it was nothing. The silhouette then started to walk forward leaving the smoky area. His body and face that should be covered in bruises and wounds were perfectly fine. Apart from dirt and ripped clothes, there were no other sign of injuries.

"Hahahahahahah! That sword is really crazy! If I didn't have my Excalibur of Divinity, I might've been done for."

On the sidelines, the rest of the Gremory group watched as Xenovia crossed swords with Freed. Issei in particular, had his eyes wide open at the fight happening before his eyes. Two legendary holy swords clashing at one another. They could only watch in amazement.

"Oi! Don't go forgetting about me!"

They were snap back to reality with the voice that sent chills down their very own spine. With a large magic circle of the fallen angels on his back, three large blobs of matter appeared and settled behind the floating Kokabiel. The blobs then began to expand in size, taking on one of the most ferocious creature know to all. A cerberus. The three headed beast roared sending gusts of winds that was strong enough to blow little children away.

"These shall entertain both you and me for quite a while. Please do your best to survive! Hahahaha!"

With Xenovia keeping Freed occupied, the Gremory mustered their strength and will to fight those monsters summoned by Kokabiel.

Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Issei prepared as they face head on against the guardians of the gate leading to Hades' underworld. Truthfully speaking, they were all confident that none of them could take on a cerberus by themselves.

With Rias and Akeno acting on offence and Koneko on defense, Issei's role was support. His boosted gear allows him to transfer the power built up using the boosted gear to someone else, powering them up.

Rias gathered her demonic power turning it all to power of destruction. She poured and poured demonic powers to it as it grows by the second. Akeno as well. Her hand became surrounded by lightning, getting bigger and bigger. Aiming at the same cerberus, they then both threw it at the same time.

One of the cerberus swung its claw and instantly, both attacks were split apart with not even a scratch was made on the claw. Truly a frightening creature to face.

"We can't give up Bucho, Akeno-san. We have to hold up as long as we can!" Issei said and started boosting himself. No matter how strong the enemies are, giving up was never an option for him.

Boost!

"Issei, once you reach the fifth boost, please transfer the power accumulated to me and Akeno. We'll take down each one of them with our combined power!" With her declaration, the fear building up on each of the other members disappeared. If the king lost confidence, the kingdom will fall. A statement that could be said for them.

Issei turned her head and saw the figure of Xenovia and Freed clashing it out with their holy swords. Sparks appeared as they slide their sword against one another. They look like they were on a stalemate but that was far from it. Xenovia mentioned that she hasn't got full control over her Durandal yet and judging by the face she's making, she's clearly exhausted. Furthermore, just before Kokabiel appeared she was already worn out due to her injuries.

Xenovia exchanged blows again and again. But each time, her blows got weaker and weaker. It was only a matter of time until she reach her limit. Two blows or maybe one blow? Who know. Her body was shaking as she held her Durandal.

"Hahahahahah. What's this, are you about to faint?! Kufuhahahahah!" Just as Freed said, it wouldn't be surprising if Xenovia collapsed at any moment. Her body was shaking and noticing a slight opening, he dashed towards her and aiming for the kill.

Slash—!

Droplets of blood splashed on the ground yet no dead body can be seen. Xenovia completely disappeared. Looking around his surroundings, Freed noticed someone.

Kiba's figure appeared. Held in his arms was the unconcious Xenovia. His face was overflowing with anger and hatred towards the man. Especially at the thing he was holding. The Excaliburs.

"Kiba-san! You shouldn't fight yet, you need more rest!" Asia came running out of the door, desperately chasing after Kiba. She had a worried face that was on the verge of crying.

"Asia-san. Please take care of Xenovia. I'll fight that guy." Pointing at Freed, Kiba gave a warm smile directed at Asia. Although he had just been healed, his body was still quite sore and was aching all over. His hatred towards the Excalibur was the only thing driving him forwards and giving him the determination to endure the pain and agony he was suffering.

Kiba placed Xenovia on the ground and immediatly, Asia's hand glowed warm green. The healing power of Asia that came from her sacred gear, the twilight healing. Definitely a life saver. Looking around, Kiba saw Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Issei facing against three massive cerberus. They were so focused at it that they didn't even noticed his pressence.

"I'll take over for Xenovia. You don't mind do you?"

"I don't bloody care! Just as long as I get to kill someone with my Excalibur-chans!"

Using his sword birth sacred gear, Kiba summoned two swords to match the enemy. With a determined face, he charged forwards. Their swords met and instantly the gap in power was revealed. Kiba's swords was cut and shattered to countless pieces. Despite the fact of such overwhelming disadvantage, Kiba didn't give up. His determination to defeat the Excalibur was more important than his very own life.

"Arghhhhhhhhh—" He summoned yet another pair of sword and continued to slashed Freed. Even in the state he was in, he desperately tried to fight in order to avenge his fallen comrades...Family.

Boost!

"Bucho I will now transfer the power I've gathered!" Having boosted for five times. Issei transferred all the demonic power to both Rias and Akeno. Their bodies glowed faint red and instantly one could feel how stronger they got.

Rias summoned an enormous block of demonic power which she carefully turned into her family's famed power of destruction. Like lightning, it zapped one of the cerberus which made a hole in its body. The hole slowly started to recover but holy lightning descended above turning the beast in to nothing but dust.

The looks on their face was like a child discovering a present under the Christmas tree. They had the expression which showed their happiness as they took down one of the three guardian dogs of hell. They managed to defeat what they thought they couldn't which gave them hope to fight and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Descending from the sky were the two cerberus. Only now that they noticed how big it was. It stood roughly around 20 metres high with claws and teeth deadlier and sharper than swords and spears.

Roooooooooaaaaaaaaaar!

"Valper! Start the fusion of the Excaliburs!" From the sky, the voice of Kokabiel echoed as he spoke, ordering Valper.

Acknowledging his superior's command, Valper walked over to Freed and collected the pair Excalibur. As if saying something like "Ahhh too bad. Let's play again after the creation of the new Excalibur" Freed handed over the Excaliburs to Valper.

Kiba recognised Valper Galilei. How could he forget? The very person who tried to disposed of him upon finding out that he couldn't use the Excalibur. As he was about to start running forward, a three metre light spear crashed down the ground as if signalling for Kiba to 'get lost'.

Kiba clenched his fist. What good would it be if he fall now. The people that suffered the same fate as him, how would he face them if he died now! He steeled his emotions and decided to return to his comrades' side to face against the two giant beast.

"How long will the fusion take?" Asked Kokabiel.

"4 minutes maximum."

Satisfied with the answer, Kokabiel went "Hmph" towards Valper. Both Freed and Valper were standing next to each other, just behind the floating Kokabiel to ensure their safety.

Valper cast the spell. The black and white Excalibur floated in the air. Wrapped in blinding white light, it then formed a sphere made out of nothing but light fused with holy power. With a smirk on his face, Valper gave a thumbs up to Kokabiel to confirmed the success.

Roooooaaaaaar!

One of the Cerberus jumped up and with all three of its head, fire balls were shot towards Rias and the others. They had two options available. One was to counter the attack by overpowering it and the second one was to dodge. Being on the defence was not an option for them since no one amongst them know how to cast high level defensive shield or barrier.

With the fireballs fast approaching, the Sitri's magic circle appeared to block the incoming attack. The water produced from the magic circle was enough to neutralised the fire balls resulting no casualties.

"My servants are making sure to cast the barrier every ten minutes or so. Fortunately, I've successfully contacted the higher ups and said that Reinforcement would be available in an hour maximum." Sona Sitri appeared with her glasses still as red as ever.

"We just need to hold out until then. If you're free Sona, would act as our shield and block all magical attacks directed at us?" Rias asked towards her childhood friend.

"Sure. But for him to actually drag these monsters from the depths of hell, just what is he thinking?!"

The two cerberus charged towards the group of devils.

Kiba and Akeno on one side and Rias and Koneko at the other. They formed a group of two to deal with the cerberus. Issei and Sona were for support thus, did not join any of the two groups. Issei's job was to transfer boost and transfer power to both Rias and Akeno while Sona blocks any magical attack.

Kiba and Koneko charged to their appointed target immobilizing the beast temporarily. Not missing the opening created, Rias and Akeno shot out their attacks.

Bang—!

But this time, only a small cut was made. Compared to the attack earlier that pierced a hole through the cerberus' body, the attack just now was only about twenty percent of the boosted attack earlier. With the cerberus' regeneration ability, an attack of that calibre was just like child's play.

Boost!

With currently eight boost displayed on the boosted gear, Issei transferred the demonic power built up to Rias and Akeno but before that, the two cerberus shot a combination on fire and lightning. The attacks that came from both the cerberus combined as it heads towards them.

"Issei used the power you've gathered to boost me, Akeno and Sona quickly!"

"Yes!"

The combined fire and lightning incinerated anything it touches. Whether it be dust or stone, nothing was left behind.

Sona mustered all the demonic energy and created a magic circle as she prepared to use the best barrier within her knowledge. The magic circle expanded in size and turned to become ice.

As the attack became came into contact with each other, shock waves was spread throughout the entire area. The gust of wind was so strong that it was like there was storm passing by the area.

"Akeno!"

Rias called out to her queen. They both took out their wing from their back as they flew into the air. Once they say the flying figure of Rias and Akeno, Koneko and Kiba immediately immobalised the cerberus that they were fighting.

Just by looking at the figure of their master, they instantly discerned their intentions. Both Akeno and Rias landed on the cerberus crying out in pain as it wailed in agony.

They conjured all the demonic power they could mustered and shot it towards the beast's head. As the saying goes 'one shot, one kill'. The three heads of each of the cerberus were decapitated and rolled across the ground and at this time when Valper cried out in joy.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! Its complete! The birth of the legendary Excalibur!" All the church knew was that he was experimenting with holy sword users but in truth, he was also figuring out a way to fused both fragments of the sword to form the original.

The happiness was engraved on Valper's face. He laughed as he grab the Excalibur and waved it in the air.

"Good. Freed, use the Excalibur to slaughter all of them filthy devil."

"Understood boss!"

Satisfied with the order he had been given, Freed took the Excalibur from Valper. The holy power it was now emitting was incomparable holy power compared to the two of its fragments.

Just the feeling of pure holy power as it traveled through the air was enough to cause minor suffocation towards the devils. What a truly a frightening sword.

Kiba jumped in front on instinct as if to protect the rest of the peerage. He changed the sword held in his hand, switching to the most powerful sword he had in his arsenal.

'I have to protect my comrade no my family! I cannot lose to protect the people who are important to me! I already failed once and I cannot fail again!' All sorts of thoughts were going through Kiba's head as he prepared for the attack Freed was preparing for him.

With his friends, comrades and family, alive or dead, everyone was relying on him. Failure was not an option!

Just as the swords were about to clash, the Excalibur emitted light surpassing what it had previously prepared. It then floated in the air as it got released from Freed's grip.

Tsk—!

The Excalibur stab itself to Freed's chest piercing his heart. Fresh blood gushed out from the hole just like a fountain of blood. Freed fell to the floor. His life taken away from him by the will of the legendary Excalibur.

There was absolutely no trace of blood on the Excalibur as it pulled itself from the body. Engulf in white light, something that only a certain word would be able to explain. A miracle.

Countless of light sphere appeared out of nowhere, each taking on a form of little children. Although transparent and faceless, it was surely the body of a children.

Speaking one by one, they spoke to Kiba.

"Don't worry about us Kiba-kun. We are happy were we are right now."

"Yuuto we believed in you!"

"Please don't endure our pain by yourself."

"Stop looking for revenge Yuuto-san. More violence would only lead to more."

"Please live on for our sake."

"We miss you and don't ever forget that we will never forget you."

"With God on our side, we will always be together."

Tears were over flowing from Kiba's eyes as he suppressed the emotions overflowing from him. He heard what his friends had to say one more time, this alone made him happy as he is. Their voices which was engrave on his mind, voices that he so wanted to hear so much, voices the push him to keep getting stronger and lastly voices that were always with him.

"We will always be together Yuuto-kun... We are more than friends, we are a big happy family. And that fact alone will never changed no matter how much time passes."

As Kiba heard the last sentence, he burst into tears. His emotions exploded in one go as he cried with all his might. Not just him but all the people from the school who were there also had tears flowing out their eyes. The scene alone as Kiba reunited with his friends from the holy sword project was enough to make anyone shed tears.

"Kiba Yuuto. Forgive me if I had caused you so much pain."

The Excalibur spoke.

Kiba spared a glance at the shining Excalibur. His eyes were so red from the crying while droplets of tears were spilling on the ground.

"With me divided into two, I had no way of resisting what was being done to me. Due to all the innocent lives I've taken, 'I' the conciousness of the Excalibur was created."

The Excalibur then shined brightly engulfing him and Kiba with blinding light.

"What do you desire, knight?"

"I want... I want to be the sword to protect those who are important to me... I don't want to experience the trajedy of losing someone close to me ever again..."

As if accepting Kiba's words the Excalibur gave Kiba a gift which gave birth to something new.

[Partner. That boy has reached it.]

'Reach what?'

[His Balance Breaker.]

A half white half black almost like the Yin and Yang symbol appeared bellow Kiba. From the circle, a sword appeared.

"Balance Breaker – Sword of the Betrayer." The power of both light and dark. The power to erase and devour. And lastly, the power to protect.

"Hahahahahaha! What was that? Were those voices the failure children of the holy sword project " Laughing hysterically, Valper asked. Kiba just stayed quiet, completely ignoring the laughing old man.

"Let me tell you the truth about that project of mine. Since I was a little boy, I've always admired holy swords especially the Excalibur. I dedicated my life to being a priest with a goal to one day wield a legendary sword. But when I found out that I couldn't and that the original Excalibur was divided into two... Did you know how I felt? My life was wasted! Sacrifices like you and the others were just discardable materials for me to use!"

Kiba couldn't take anymore at what he was hearing and ran towards Valper Galilei. Fear ran through his veins as he saw the approaching Kiba. He shouted to Kokabiel as he pleaded to be save.

"Kokabiel-sama please help! I don't want to die...!"

"You've served your purpose. I have nothing to do with you now." Despite the plead Valper made, Kokabiel ignored all of it.

Slash!

Blood flowed out the diagonal slash on his chest. He fell back first onto the ground as bit by bit, life was slowly leaving his body. Blood came out of his mouth as he tried to speak and died with his eyes open.

"Kuhahahahaha! I have no use for weaklings so shall we get started then? Oh yeah I'll reveal something that would me you devils happy. The biblical god is dead. He died along with the original satans!"

All of them were shocked. Whether he was lying or not, they cannot be sure. Asia and Xenovia at the side had their eyes wide open. The almighty god which they've devoted their life to were already dead from the beginning. Was their life a complete waste of time? They worshipped a being which was already dead.

"That's probably why you achieved that sword brat. With the help of a the Excalibur, you managed to do the unthinkable. For two elements of the opposite thing to combine the only possible answer is because 'god is dead'.Anyway enough of that. Let's play!"

A massive spear of light appeared on his hands. Measuring around 6 metres long and one and a half metre wide, it would surely mean instant death if you got hit by that thing.

Issei started to boost himself as fast as he can to transfer demonic power to Rias in order to match that spear of light.

"Rias, our opponent is a monster beyond our abilities. We should attack at the same time to cancel out that spear." Just as Sona was talking to Rias, Kokabiel, threw the spear.

"I know...we have to hold out as long as possible."

With only six boost Issei transferred the demonic energy to Akeno, Rias and Sona. The three of them then shot out blocks of demonic power to cancel out the fast approaching spear of light.

Boom—!

The impact was stagerring. Strong winds were created just by the mere collision of two attacks. Trying to push one another, the spear of light disintegrated and demonic energy disintegrated, cancelling one another.

Boost!

"Issei, this time boost only me. Its our turn to be on the offensive!"

"Yes Bucho!"

Rias released an enormous amount of demonic energy which then turned to power of destruction. Its size was incomparable to what she usually shot out. She then point her fingers at Kokabiel and released the power destruction.

Unfazed by the incoming attack, Kokabiel just stood there and raised his right arm intending to block with it. A loud boom was created as the power of destruction came in contact with Kokabiel's hand.

With the power of destruction slowly trying to pierce its way through the tough hands, Kokabiel grab it and squeezed.

Crack—!

"Impossible. He squeezed my attack and shattered it?" It was only reasonable for her to be surprised. An attack you thought would at least left an injury was shattered to countless pieces.

Not just Rias but everyone. Their gazes at Kokabiel showed fear as they saw the gap in power between all of them.

"So you can reach the power of an ultimate class devil by using the Sekiryutei's power. Interesting."

With all hope lost, a person suddenly appeared.

"Oh hey guys what are you doing here?"

"Godou-senpai!" Issei said in a surprised voice.

Kusanagi Godou appeared. He clearly had no idea what was going on. So why was he even there? Noticing the sudden appearance of Godou, Kokabiel descended from the sky.

"Who are you?"

"Kusanagi Godou." Godou shot a glance at Rias and asked "Hey Rias is this guy your friend?"

"Far from it." Rias explained to Godou what just happened. She started of at how Kokabiel wanted to start a war and how they were buying time until reinforcement arrived.

But what caught Godou's attention the most was how willingly he would abandon a comrade if they lost their importance. Even sacrificing thousands of humans was only a small thing for him.

"Leave the rest to me."

"Hahahahahaha! What can you do?!"

'Partner, wake up. I have someone to come play with you.' Signalling for«Ame no Murakumo» to wake up, the jet black sword manifested in Godou's hand.

'Finally King. I was waiting for a battle for so long!' True to its nature as a god of steel, the only thing the divine sword sought for was battle.

Everyone stared at the sword Godou was holding. Although they knew that it was the «Ame no Murakumo» holy sword, they were surprised to see Godou holding it. Aside from that, they also felt something weird from it. As he faced Kokabiel, Godou chanted spell words, converting his tremendous amount of divine power to his «Authority».

"I am the strongest bearer of victory. Obstructions, be dismissed from my path."

"Huh? What are talking about?" Kokabiel who had no idea what he was doing could only asked but nevertheless, Godou ignored him and continued chanting.

"All evil things fear me. Unjust beings of power cannot defeat me...for I am the strongest, able to break all barriers!"

Godou uttered the incantation for the warrior who holds the golden sword, one of Verethragna's incarnation. Having mastered Verethragna's ability, Godou was able to use each incarnation more efficiently.

Godou did chant the warrior's spell words but instead of activating the «Sword of Wisdom» as well, he only manifested the warrior ability to gain the combat skill to see through his enemies' attacks and magic. It also magnified his natural instinct as a Campione.

The battle begun. Kokabiel summoned a sword made out of pure light and charged towards Godou. His speed was greater than both Kiba and Xenovia combined but all of it were seen through by Godou's eyes. With a speed rivalling that of a lightning, both of them swung their sword as hard as they can.

Crack—

With a single strike, the sword of light shattered as it tried to parry «Ame no Murakumo». The divine sword sliced the sword of light with ease as it headed to Kokabiel's body. Using his keen reflexes, Kokabiel managed to avoid a fatal hit by quickly stepping backwards.

"Tsk! What a troublesome sword!" Making another sword, yet this time, he used significantly more and denser holy power as it took on the shape of sword. He swung it around a few times as if confirming something.

This time, it was Godou's turn to be on the offensive. He shortened the distance between them and rotated his body 360 degrees to increase the lightning speed of his attack. It was blocked and sword of light didn't shatter either.

The two of them simultaneously attacked with their sword. Kokabiel was sweating. It's like he knew that the enemy before him was only playing around. Gripping tightly on the sword of light, he swung it downwards while Godou slashed with lightning speed along the core of the opponent.

With a direct frontal crash, the sword of light shattered yet again.

With no other choice left, Kokabiel grabbed the Excalibur that was sticking out the ground. He poured his holy power to it as if supressing it so that he doesn't end up like Freed and began to send slash towards Godou. The way they swung their sword with such strength caused shockwaves and gusts of wind to be formed which was sent to the surroundings.

Had their sword been an ordinary sword, violent attack and slashes that they threw at each other would surely snap these blades in half. But it was a different story if both their sword had such amazing history. With legendary swords clashing at one another and used by two astounding swordsmen, the sight was to behold.

Every time one side attacks, the other one would defend and make a counter attack as a response and vice versa. The two swords clashed and repelled each other continuously, sending sparks along the way to prove its superiority while the swordsmen throwing fierce attack at each other through swords skill.

The two of them jumped back and separated from each other. Kokabiel was breathing heavily while Godou had a satisfied smile on his face not even exhausted from their constant clashes. Just what you would expect from a Campione's stamina, truly outstanding. Both of them vanished and instantly reappeared in front of each other as their sword met. Sparks flew off from constant clashed and sliding from both sword.

Kokabiel knew that the chances of him gaining the upper hand was slim and decided to compensate his lack of skills and strength by infusing magic to the Excalibur, giving it projectile attacks. He swung his sword and flame projectiles were produced which was aimed at Godou every time their sword bashed each other.

'Do it.'

'Understood King!'

«Ame no Murakumo» activated its special skill. It absorbed the fire projectiles and turned it to something which can be used by Godou. Turning the fire in to something else, Godou swung «Ame no Murakumo» as hard as he can and the second it touched the Excalibur an explosion was created blowing away Kokabiel and the Excalibur away.

Kokabiel was sent flying until he was stopped by the school wall. The injuries he received wasn't enough to disabled his movements but his body trembled to the impact it sustained as he stood up desperately. Godou had overpowered him on swordsmanship alone. Furthermore, Kokabiel was also caught from the explosion which was originally his fire projectiles.

Godou decided to finish the match. He chanted the incantations to summon the power of the sun to incinerate the enemy before him.

"For victory, hasten forth before me! O Immortal Sun, I beseech thee to grant radiance to the stallion." The sun which should've set hours ago was brightly shinning in the sky.

The flames of the sun which incinerates all took on the shape of a gallant stallion as it galloped toward its target – Kokabiel.

Seeing the fast approaching fire of incineration, Kokabiel's face paled. With no way of running he could only try to overpower it. He poured all his holy power to summon a spear of light bigger the Kuoh Academy. He opened his 10 black wings and threw the spear of light as hard as he can while his wings shot out black arrows formed from his feathers.

Boom—!

The attack Kokabiel sent didn't even make any difference. The stallion was still galloping, ready to devour its target at any moment. With all his hope lost, a man in a shining white armour appeared, standing in front of Kokabiel. His armour was just like Issei's balance breaker during the fight with Raiser but the only difference was that guy's armour was pure white. His wings gave a shining white glow mejectically as he raised his hand, intending to stop the galloping stallion.

The stallion and the unknown armoured guy's hand met but the sheer difference in size was like comparing a normal house to a castle. The eight wings of light shined brightly as he tried to absorb the attack.

"Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!"

The fire in the shape of the stallion gradually became smaller and smaller but it was no use, the stallion still made its way towards them.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooom—!

Despite being only about a tenth of its size, it still made a big massive crater in the ground. Fire covered the area as a result of the stallion's attack which swept the surrounding dust. Kokabiel's body was laying on the ground along with the armoured guy with his armour shattered in pieces. Fortunately they were still both alive. The boy who was clad in white armour earlier stood up and once again and put on his armour of majestic white. He then grabbed Kokabiel's body and put him on his shoulder.

"Hey. Where are you taking that guy and who are you?" Godou asked.

"Greetings. My name is Vali and I was sent to retrieve Kokabiel. I tried to block your attacked since Azazel wanted him alive to seal in the deepest parts of the underworld – Cocytus. And I must say, that attack from the heaven was simply amazing. Even I couldn't divide it and only managed to divide about ninety percent but still managed to blow me away and shattered my Divine Dividing Scale Male to pieces. What a truly frightening attack that was…"

He spread out his wings and hovered in the sky when somebody spoke up.

"Albion." The boosted gear on Issei's left arm glowed red as it spoke.

"Ddraig." Responding to the dragon on Issei's hand the white wings shined brightly.

The two heavenly dragons met again and greeted each other by saying their rival's name.

Vali then turned his head to face Issei.

"Rival. You were pathetic. I was watching you from afar yet you barely did anything. I was so disappointed in you so please do get stronger for our future fights so you don't die easily."

With that said, he disappeared as he traveled in the sky.

"Is everyone alright?" Turning his head around, he asked at the group of people behind him. Everyone except Irina who was in the club room was present including the rest of the student council. For some reason they were just staring at him blankly without saying anything.

"What? Do I have something on my face or something?"

"Ah yeah. We're alright. Did Onii-sama sent you, Onii-chan?"

"No. I noticed some explosion and decided to check on you guys if there was something wrong. I tried going by taxi at first but for some reason they all declined."

Godou explained how he got to the school and how he walked for about half an hour.

"Then I arrived at school. I noticed a weak barrier so I thought that you guys were just messing around with some stuff until I saw that Kokabiel guy."

"Weak?" Sona asked in a slightly angered voice. "That was one of the sturdiest barrier I have in hand..."

With their eyes sparkling, Saji and Issei ran towards Godou. Both of them held one of his hands and spoke with Saji taking the lead.

"Woah! Did you defeat the 10 winged guy? Please teach me to become stronger Godou-senpai."

"Please. We both want to become much stronger and become high class devils. And after that guhehehe...!" Both of them had drools leaking out their mouth as they imagined their ideal futures.

Grabbing away his hands from the idiot's grip, Godou walked over to Rias and gave her a pat on the head.

"You did well against that guy Rias. I'm glad your all okay." With a smile on his face, Godou spoke to Rias and the rest of the group.

In a VIP room in some unknown store were four people. There was Godou, Azazel, Sirzechs and Michael sitting around a table.

"So what did you do to Kokabiel?" Azazel asked.

"Huh? I thought you sent some guy called Vali to collect him." Godou replied in a confused manner.

"What? I never ordered that kid to do anything."

"Don't tell me, he joined the Khaos Brigade with Kokabiel..." Sirzechs interjected in a surprised voice since that possibility wasn't zero percent.

"What's the Khaos Brigade?" Godou asked.

"A group created by the Dragon God Ophis hoping to over throw the Great Red. Although Ophis created it, we feel that she's only a leader in face. The members are only using her to their personal gain." Explained Michael.

Nodding, Godou understood the situation.

"By the way, is everything alright with Gabriel?"

"To be honest, she's more troublesome than Serafall. She...ask some...weird...questions."

Godou remembered when Gabriel indirectly asked 'what's a man's thing?' Which Godou couldn't answer. What a troublesome innocent angel she is...

"Weird questions?"

"You don't wanna know."

As if remembering something, Sirzechs spoke to Godou.

"Isn't there some sort of parent visit next week."

"Ahh yeah. What about it...? Don't tell me you and your dad are coming?!"

"Ah yep. Actually, I was the only person planning to attend but as soon as father heard about it he insisted on coming as well."

Shocked from what he heard, Godou remembered a certain time at the Gremory castle...

'Godou-chan! You're Rias-chan's older brother so you have to call me papa, okay?'
