Chapter 14: Yamagata Arc - Part 2
(Yamagta Forest Clearing)
"Hell's Fang!" Ragna charged forth with dark energy forming in his right arm, planting his fist into the guy or whatever monster he was fighting.
If it was considered a guy to begin with. Ragna was fighting was something that he did not expect at all during his travels. He fought many kinds of monsters, but this is the first time he is fighting. The thing that Ragna was fading had a highly decayed body to the point where it looks like a walking corpse. This corpse was standing on its own legs while it had a rather large body with dirt and blood all over it.
And from its stance, it was highly aggressive, ready to kill whatever it is in its way.
Ragna successfully damage the walking corpse he was fighting, blowing out its abdomen. He then deliver a second punch, this time with a stronger impact. He landed the attack, blowing away whatever monster he was fighting.
"And stay dead like you should be!" Ragna exclaimed while glaring at the broken body in front of him. "God damn, I fought many creatures before in the past, but I never thought I'd fight a god damn zombie!" Ragna yelled, before he heard inhumane growls everywhere. Ragna's eyes widened a bit when he looked around, and found multiple other zombies popping out of the ground at a fast rate.
Ragna grunted as he readied his blade.
"Tch. Surrounded, huh?" Ragna muttered, before he got ready to attack. "Fine, bring it on! I can kick all your assess!" Ragna shouted, before he looked at Yorokobi on his shoulder. "You find some place to safe and away from these guys!" Ragna told the Exceed, causing the young one to nod at him as he sprung wings and flew away. Seeing that no one is in danger, Ragna turned to face the undead walking towards him.
Preparing himself for a fight, he took a step forward and ready to destroy his first opponent. Before he could take any further action, an unexpected event occurred.
"The dead should stay dead!" shouted a feminine voice, causing Ragna to stop his actions for a bit in surprise of the voice. Before he could do anything else, the area around him erupted into a violent storm. Ragna's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the sudden storm before him, blowing away all the zombies. Ragna stood there surprised for a bit, before he turned up into the air.
There, he found a person levitating in the sky with wind whirling around her. The person before appeared to be a woman, judging by her features. She had long mint green hair that extended down to her mid-back, and had forest green eyes. She wore green combat boots, along with dark green light armor on her legs. She wore light green thigh shocks, along with the upper part being black, covering most of her leg skin. She wore a rather roomy v-shaped green jumpsuit that stopped at the the near mid of her thighs, exposing her cleavage. Her rather large breasts were covered by a series of black bandages, but they did nothing to hide her curves. There was also a long thing green coat that went down to her knees.
Ragna was surprised by her appearance as he watched her slowly levitate to the ground, and then softly land on it. She looked around the surrounding area, and then turned to him.
"Are you alright?" the woman asked him with a bit of concern, causing Ragna to blink at her.
"Um...yeah. Thanks I guess." Ragna said, seeing how this woman took care of his problems. The woman sighed with relief.
"Ah, that's good to know. It wouldn't do any good of seeing an innocent getting hurt for this matter." the woman said, before she looked at Ragna. "Though...it seems you have the ability to defend yourself." the woman said while looking at Ragna's appearance and weapon.
"Well, yeah. I appreciate your help and all, but just who are you?" Ragna asked the woman with a raised eyebrow. Before the woman could answer, the two of them were covered by a large shadow. Ragna became alarmed as he readied for an attack, while the female calmly turned to the source of the shadows. Ragna looked up, and became a bit surprised on what he saw.
It is a huge eagle-horse beast that descended from the sky, along with a person riding on its back. When Ragna saw the person, he blinked when he saw it was a female riding the beast. She had rose pink hair tied in a pony tail, and has hair ornaments. She wore some form a light feminine armor, along with a white cape.
"Alright my adorable Hippogrif! It's time to set down!" cried the girl with an optimistic tone. The beast landed on the ground, and she turned her head towards the mint green haired woman.
"Amazing as usual Ventus-chan!" the girl said with a smile. "You took out those zombies in one blow! Hahaha! Get it? One blow? Because you know, you use wind and all, and..." the girl started, but the girl named Ventus raised her hand to her to stop.
"That's enough. We have more important matters at hand." Ventus told her, causing the pink haired girl to pout at her.
"Aw..." the girl whined, causing Ventus to turn to Terra.
"Oh, right. I haven't introduced myself properly. My name is Ventus Shikishima, a-" whatever else Ventus was going to say was soon cut off as a giant fist popped out of the ground, causing the trio to turn their heads towards it.
They soon saw another undead pop out of the ground, this time more bigger than the others. Other popped out as well, and other average sized zombies popped out as well. But the most surprising part was that they started to change shape, making sickening sounds as they changed form. The undead soon took the form of rotting corpses of animals, such as great flayed bull, a grey horse with a broken back but no ears or tail, and for some reason, a grotesque cat with sharp claws.
"Shit! There is more of them!" Ragna cursed as he readied his blade. "This feels like I'm in some B-rated horror movie!"
"Why a B?" the girl with pink hair asked with a curious and confused tone.
"Because B is for bullshit!" Ragna bluntly told the girl.
"Oh..." the pink haired girl said with realization. Ventus narrowed her eyes as she eyed each and every one of them. She soon blinked upon analyzing them.
"These are Draugar. They're undead creatures of Norse mythology. They possess superhuman strength, can shape shift, move easily underground, and can set forth curses." the green haired woman explained, causing Ragna to turn to her with a raised eyebrow.
"So we're basically fighting zombies with superpowers..." Ragna summarized.
"Essentially."
"...Well this days keeps getting better and better." Ragna said sarcastically, before he blinked upon realizing something. "How the hell do you know that from one look?" Ragna asked the young woman, causing the girl to smile knowingly to Ragna.
"Well, it's all apart of my abilities." Ventus answered, before she turned to the pink haired girl. "Get ready as well! You'll provide aerial support!" Ventus told the girl, causing her to nod.
"Right! Let us bring forth justice! After that, we'll enjoy the world even more if my name isn't Astfolo!" the girl, now known as Astfolo, cried out. She then ushered her Hippogrif to take into the sky, causing the beast to obediently follow her orders. As they both took to the sky, Ragna raised an eyebrow at the name.
"Astfolo? That's a rather...erm...masculine name." Ragna commented, quietly enough for Astfolo not to hear. However, Ventus heard his comment and merely giggled. Ragna turned his heads towards her with a raised eyebrow.
"And what's so funny?" Ragna asked his supposed ally in battle. Ventus just shook her head at him.
"I-It's nothing. It's just that..." Ventus gave a normal smile. "...Astfolo is a guy."
Silence passed between them when Ragna took in those words, and then turned to her with a shocked look.
"That's a guy!?" Ragna exclaimed with a shocked tone, not believing what he is hearing. Ventus just nodded at him.
"It's true." Ventus answered, before she narrowed her eyes as she raised her fist, focusing on the battle before her.
"Now then...let's purge these undead creatures. After all..." Ventus started, as wind started to whirl around her.
"...I'm a Devil Slayer."
(With Terra)
"A Valkyrie...?" Terra said with a confused tone while folding his arms. "What exactly is a Valkyrie anyway?" Terra asked the woman before him. All she did was give a patient smile.
"Well, to put simply, we're Half-Gods who serve Odin-sama, the chief deity of Norse mythology." Eleanora answered him, causing Terra to go "oh" at this.
"Oh...well, alright then." Terra answered with a shrug, causing Eleanora to sweat drop at his reaction. "Well, since you introduced yourself, I might as well introduce myself as well. I am Terra Tachikaze, a mage who uses Earth Dragon Slayer Magic." Terra introduced himself, causing the Valkyrie to blink upon the information.
"Earth Dragon Slayer Magic? That's a magic that I never even heard of or barely even know about. In fact, the only dragon slayers that we know of are usually heroes told in Norse mythology..." Eleanora said with intrigue, before she smiled with content. "It seems that Midgard still hasn't run out of worthy heroes as of late. I see one standing before me." Eleanora said, causing Terra to blink upon this.
"Hero? Oh, I'm no hero. I'm an adventurer." Terra corrected her, causing Eleanora to blink upon this information.
"But you said that you are a..." Eleanora said with confusion. Terra sighed as he scratched the back of his head.
"Long story short, I was raised by a dragon who taught me Dragon Slayer magic, and the rest is history with me travelling throughout the lands." Terra answered her. "Now then, seeing how that's out of the way, do you mind if you explain to me what is going on here? Because whatever you call it..." Terra said while pointing at the unconscious Garmr on the ground. "...just tried to attack me. Though it did fail." Terra told the silver haired woman.
When she saw the down form and back to Terra, she nodded while looking serious.
"Right, it's only fair that you know of what is happening." Eleanora said. "As of right now, this whole forest is being invaded by creatures of Norse Mythology. We have heard rumors that these creatures of Norse Mythology might've been persuaded by Loki, the Evil God of Norse mythology. Nonetheless, me and and fellow Valkyrie were sent to take care of the creatures here to ensure that no damage is caused to the innocents." Eleanora explained to him, causing Terra to nod at her.
"I see..." Terra said, before he nodded with a serious look. "Alright, I get it. Looks like I can't just sit this one out, knowing the potential dangers here." Terra said while pounding his fist, causing Eleanora to smile in satisfaction.
"Well said Terra." Eleanora said with approval.
It was then the two heard footsteps being made nearby, and Eleanora grabbed her sword to prepare for an opponent. However, Terra just raised his hand to stop her actions.
"Don't worry, he's a friend of mine." Terra told her, causing Eleanora to blink at this. It was then Shiroe popped out of the woods panting a bit before spotting Terra. He took in a deep breath of air to regain his energy, before he exhaled. He gave a tired look at Terra.
"Terra, please know that I'm not the group's best stamina holder." Shiroe told him, causing Terra to grin an apology.
"Sorry about that. But nevermind that for now. We got more important matters." Terra told Shiroe seriously, causing the Half-God to blink upon this. He then spotted the woman behind Terra, and then turned to him.
"And who is this person?" Shiroe asked Terra.
"Shiroe, this is Eleanora. She's a Vakyrie." Terra told Shiroe, causing the Half-God to blink in surprise upon this.
"A Valkyrie?" Shiroe said with surprise, before he noticed the Garmr lying on the ground. "...A Garmr?" Shiroe said with a bit of surprise.
"You recognize it Shiroe?" Terra asked his Magician companion. Shiroe nodded at him.
"Yes. I actually study a lot about other mythologies as well during my past time, so I'm quite knowledgeable of most mythological creatures." Shiroe told him, causing Terra to slightly whistle while impressed
"Well now, you aren't his child for nothing." Terra said impressed. Shiroe chuckled at him while scratching the back of his head.
"It's nothing really..." Shiroe said. Eleanora, on the other hand, just raised an eyebrow at him.
"A Japanese Magician from what I can assume?" Eleanora asked Shiroe, looking at his attire and staff. When Shiroe noticed her presence, he bowed to her in greeting.
"Hello there. My name is Shiroe. And yes, you are correct from your assumptions." Shiroe answered her.
"I see. While this meeting is quite interesting in my experience, I'm afraid we have more important matters at hand." Eleonora told them, causing the two males to nod at her.
"Right. Shiroe, I'll give you the brief details. We're basically in a forest full of Norse Mythology monsters." Terra told his Half-God companion.
"From what I see and heard, it would seem so." Shiroe simply replied, before he turned to Rossweisse. "What kind of Norse Mythology creatures are we facing at the moment?" Shiroe asked her. Eleonora hummed in thought.
"We're currently dealing with four types right now. The first is the Garmr Terra fought. I have taken out a few myself, so their numbers are none now from what I can sense. We also have Draugr, the undead of Norse mythology. They're quite dangerous, even so in numbers. The next is-"
Whatever Eleonora is going to say was interrupted, as the trio heard a loud explosion ring through the air, causing them to turn their heads towards the source. They were all surprised when a large pillar of water sprung into the air, and then splash back onto the ground with a loud splash.
"It seems like another Norse creature has appeared..." Shiroe said while pushing up his glasses.
"But what was that pillar of water? Even my fellow Valkyrie doesn't really use that sort of technique." Eleonora wondered.
"You have another one here?" Terra asked her with curiosity.
"Yes. Even with my abilities, facing all of them will be difficult. So another Valkyrie is necessary to bring better chances to our mission." Eleonora explained to them.
"I see..." Terra muttered as he gazed to the source of the power.
"It's best to check out the scene before us." Shiroe said while he pushed up his glasses, causing the other two to nod at him. The three soon broke out into a sprint. As they did, one thought passed through Terra's head.
'It makes me wonder how Mittelt and Leone are doing...'
(With Mittelt and Leone)
"SHIT!" Mittelt cursed out loudly as she dodged another incoming attack heading towards her. She then spread her wings and flew up in the air, and turned around to form a spear in her hands. She then threw the spear towards her opponent, but the soon soon shattered upon impact on the armor it was wearing.
"Just once! Can we have just one day...one day of just going to an area and have peace!? Is that too much to ask!?" Mittelt screamed out in an annoyed tone, before she dodged another incoming fist towards her.
"We can complain all we want later! Right now-" Leone told her, before she swiftly avoided an incoming blast of ice towards her, and then sped towards the giant figure. She then delivered a swift and powerful kick to the giant figure's stomach, causing the figure to lose some air from its mouth. "-We have to defeat this guy!" Leone continued.
It all began as the two were exploring the forest with the intent of searching for clues. Then all of a sudden, some giant appeared out of nowhere rampaged around the area, involving the two in the process. Luckily, Leone's senses and reflexes saved both of them as she grabbed Mittelt to get them out of the area of damage, escaping without a scratch.
But there were bigger problems, as the giant was around the area creating havoc. This giant had ice blue skin, wore some form of loin cloth with a giant armor that covered his lower side. It also had boots made of some white material, and it had white wild hair and a long beard as well. The giant also wore a helmet that had crafted wings protruding out of it. It also didn't help that it wielded some giant tree branch as a weapon. This giant was as tall as a 10 story building.
The giant roared as he then raised his weapon once more, and proceeded to slam it onto the ground, creating a large shock wave around him. Luckily for Leone, Mittelt swooped in and picked her up in time to avoid it.
"Hey Mittelt, any idea what that is? Cause I seriously don't..." Leone told her as she focused on the giant before her. Mittelt grunted as she glared at the giant before her.
"It's one opponent that I seriously didn't expect to meet and then fight. From my time within the Grigori, I know one thing for sure. There aren't many giants in the supernatural. And considering that it breaths out ice, I'm going with a good guess and say that we're fighting a Jötnar, an ice giant from Norse Mythology." Mittelt said, before she looked a bit peeved by something.
"Now I have another question. Why the hell is it here?" Mittelt asked with an annoyed tone.
"Questions for later. Right now, we gotta focus on staying alive." Leone told her while she gave a small grin, despite the situation they're in.
"Good point..." Mittelt muttered, before she lowered herself to the ground and dropped Leone. "Damn. Should we go to Terra and the others for help?" Mittelt suggested, causing Leone to shake her head upon this.
"Well with this thing here, what are the chances of Terra and the others running into trouble?" Leone questioned, causing Mittelt to bite her thumb in frustration.
"Shit, that's right!" Mittelt admitted very easily. "Well what now? We're supposed to fight this rampaging ice giant?" Mittelt said as she pointed at the rampaging Jötnar in the distance.
"Looks like it. Though...this isn't going to be easy." Leone admitted as she rolled her neck for a good stretch. "Welp, thing are never easy in life. So, ready?" Leone asked her blonde companion.
"Yeah yeah, I heard you." Mittelt said as she formed a spear of light in her hand, while wind begun flowing through her other hand. "It's not as if someone will just intervene and help us." Mittelt said sarcastically.
The moment she said that was then the two saw multiple magic circles appear in the sky and surrounding the Jötnar, and the magic circles then glowed with energy and shot forth multiple elements towards the ice giant, giving it damage all around it. The two were surprised upon seeing this sort of magic assult.
"What the hell!?" Mittelt shouted.
"*Whistle*...that's impressive magic..." Leone said she whistled while impressed. "Didn't know you knew that much magic Mittelt..." Leone joked, despite the situation they're in.
"Oh screw you. I know you're mocking me on that." Mittelt responded with a flat tone. "Seriously though, who just cast that much magic?" Mittelt questioned.
It was then a figure dropped down from the sky and landed in front of them, though she was facing the other direction. It was a young woman with long, straight silver hair and light blue eyes who appears to be in her late teens. Her battle attire is normally of a set of Valkyrie armor, which consists of a white breastplate with gold and pale blue accents and matching, fingerless gauntlets, boots, hip guards, and wing-shaped hair clips. She also wears a black leotard underneath her breastplate, black thigh-high stockings, and a pale blue cloth wrapped underneath her hip guards, all of which are clad with pink lacing along with her hair clips.
They saw the woman frown as she looked at the situation ahead of her.
"This isn't good. The Jötnar has caused this much damage in the forest. And with the direction he is going, he might reach a city..." the young woman muttered, before she sensed another presence near her. She turned, and blinked in surprise when she saw Mittelt and Leone standing there.
"A Fallen Angel and Youkai...?" the young woman said with surprise. Leone just waved a friendly grin and wave there.
"Hey there. I suppose you're the one who just cast all of those spells?" Leone asked with a friendly tone. The young woman blinked at her.
"Urm, yes, I did. And you are...?" the young woman asked with a bit of confusion ins her tone.
"I'm Mittelt, and this is Leone. We can set aside the introductions for later." Mittelt said, going straight to the point here. "Hey, you seem familar with this situation, and we just so happened to get caught in this. Mind telling us what the hell is going on?" Mittelt asked with a deadpanned look on her face. The woman just blinked at the attitude of the Fallen Angel, before she just shook it off.
"Well, currently, it seems that our residents from Norse Mythology decided to attack Earth out of rebellion." the young woman pointed out. "Now I have a question for you. What are you doing here?" the young woman asked.
"Well, we were originally exploring this forest in search for something. But that giant prick-" Mittelt said as she pointed to the ice giant who was creating collateral damage in the distance. "-just so happens to attack us." Mittelt pointed out, causing the woman to frown upon this.
"I see..." the silver haired girl said. It was then Leone stepped up and pounded her fist against her palm.
"So, how are we going to take this down?" Leone asked while she cracked her knuckles, causing the young woman to look at her with surprise.
"I'm sorry?" she asked in surprise. The youkai just gave a confident grin at her.
"Well, we're pretty much in a forest filled with Norse creatures. Even if we did try to escape, I'm sure we'll eventually run into them here. But besides that, we also have the same goal. Taking down that thing." Leone said as she pointed at the ice giant. The young woman frowned when she heard her reasoning, and went into thought about it.
A few short moments later, she nodded.
"...Alright then. I'll accept your assistance for this." the young woman agreed, before she turned to the ice giant. "We better hurry, or else there will be further damages." the silver haired woman said.
"That's an idea I can get behind." Leone said as she powered herself up with senjutsu.
"Well this is just dandy..." Mittelt muttered, before she looked at her. "By the way, never got your name." Mittelt said as she gazed at the woman next to her. The young woman sweat dropped when Mittelt asked that question, despite saying introductions are for later.
"...I am Rossweisse."
(With Terra)
The Dragon Slayer and the two Half-Gods sprinted through the forest as they going to the source of the energy that sprung up in the air. Terra sniffed the air as he ran ahead of the group.
"...I'm smelling the scent of water and an odor of smoke. Whatever it is, I can bet that water and fire is involved." Terra told them, causing Shiroe to push up his glasses.
"Water and Fire? Eleonora-san, do you know any Norse residents that are associated with such elements?" Shiroe asked, making the silver haired Valkyrie to nod at him.
"I do and don't at the same time. For water, I'm not that sure, as my homeland don't have much water deities. And even so, I believe that they're not involved. However, there is one creature that comes into mind when it comes to fire." Eleonora said, before she frowned as she turned ahead of her. "I'm afraid what we're going to fight here is a jötnar. More specifically, a fire giant." Eleonora stated, causing Shiroe's eyes to widened a bit.
"A fire giant? From what I've read, their strength is enormous and their control over fire is something that shouldn't be taken lightly." Shiroe said. Eleonora nodded her head at him.
"Indeed. That's why I was sent, along with another fellow Valkyrie of mine." Eleonora explained. Terra then sniffed the air once more, and focused his eyes.
"Get ready! We're about to arrive!" Terra told the group, as they soon jumped into a field opening of the forest, and they were soon met with the sight of something fiery.
This giant had red hot skin, wore some form of loin cloth with a giant armor that covered his lower side. It also had boots made of some black material, and it had black wild hair and a long beard as well. The giant also wore a helmet that had jagged bones protruding out of it. The weapon it currently held appeared to be a black blunt sword giving out large amounts of heat. This giant was as tall as a 10 story building.
Terra blinked at the giant, as it was his first time encountering such a creature. He fought giant beasts in the past as well, but this guy certainly took the heat. He shook off the thoughts when he found the fire giant roaring as it held up its sword, and by the looks of it, willing to bring down the sword for a giant impact.
"This is bad! It's strikes usually equals a small meteorite crashing the ground!" Eleonora said with alarm. Shiroe then noticed another figure out in the distance.
"Look! There's someone else!" Shiroe exclaimed as he pointed at another figure. Both Terra and Eleonora turned their heads towards who it is, and they were surprised to see a teenage girl standing there with some sort of weapon.
She is a young girl with pink eyes and long, dark pink hair, which is pinned up with some form of golden accessory. She is currently wearing a long, elaborate dress which gave off the impression of royalty.
She then raised a particular blue sword in her hand. It was then magic began to flow through her body as she prepared to use an attack.
"Vaniel Al-Salos!" the girl cried out as the air was filled with multiple bubbles of water, and they soon took form of sharp spears ready to pierce. She then gestured her sword forward, launching the water spears towards the fire giant.
The fire giant didn't have enough time to block or even evade the attack due to its giant body. The fire giant roared in pain as it felt multiple water spears pierce its skin, before evaporating due to its immense body heat. The fire giant then built up heat around it, and then unleash a shock wave of fire and heat from its body, incinerating the area around it.
The young girl gasped in surprise when she found the heat rapidly coming towards her, and raised her sword to block the incoming attack. Before the heat impact could happen, Terra was already at the case as he jumped in front of her and planted his hand on the ground.
"Earth Dragon's Protective Wall!" Terra slammed his hand onto the ground, summoning a large wall of earth to shield the two from the attack. The attack impacted with the wall, protecting the two from the intense heat. As soon as the attack ended, the wall was left with a large scorch mark.
The young girl opened her eyes, and her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing who the person was in front of her.
"Wha...?" the young girl said in surprise when she saw Terra standing there. He then turned to her with a slight grin.
"Hey, you okay there?" Terra asked her. The girl blinked at his appearance, before she shook herself out of her slight daze.
"I'm fine..." the young girl said, before she made herself stand up. It was then Eleonora ran forward with great speeds as she drew out her sword from the sheath. She then channeled magic into her sword, building up a great build up of wind around it. She then swung her sword, releasing a great blast of wind towards the fire giant. The giant blast hit the fire giant, causing the giant to shout out in pain upon impact from the sword.
Shiroe immediately sprung into action as he held up his staff and channeled magic into it.
"Mind Shock!" Shiroe then launched a small sphere underneath the giant, but soon expanded into a large sphere that engulfed the fire giant, and immediately, the fire giant shouted in pain upon feeling intense mental pain. It clutched its head while stepping back as it wildly swung its giant sword around. Both Terra and Shiroe took this chance as they both needed the distance away from the giant. The young girl followed as well, not wanting to be in the attack radius.
As soon as they gained their distance, the four stood as they watched the fire giant blindly attack everywhere upon feeling Shiroe's spell. It was then Terra turned to everyone.
"Everyone alright?" Terra asked everyone. They all nodded.
"Everyone seems to be in fine condition." Shiroe informed everyone, before he turned to the young girl before them. Both Terra and Eleonora turned to her as well. The girl noticed their attention, but didn't falter under it.
"I don't want to sound rude, but what is a Devil like you doing in this area?" Terra said, surprising the girl and the other Half-Gods.
"How did you...?" the young girl said in surprise. Terra tapped his nose while giving a small grin.
"My nose has encountered your kind for quite a while. So I'm quite familiar with your kind's scent." Terra told her, causing the young girl to slowly nod at this.
"I see..." the young girl said, before she turned to the others and gave a frown at Eleonora. "A Valkyrie, I assume?" the young girl said, causing the young woman to nod at her.
"Indeed I am. I'm quite curious to see how a Devil is here in this particular area. Any reason why?" Eleonora questioned. The girl merely sighed as she frowned.
"I was originally looking for someone in the forest, but your fire giant seems to have assaulted me and the area around it. Care to explain why your Norse creatures are here in the first place?" the young girl answered. Eleonora gave a sigh upon being asked that question.
"Well, we aren't directly at fault here, but it is now our responsibility due the potential that Loki must've persuaded them to attack." Eleonora explained to her, causing the girls eyes widened upon the mention of Loki.
"Loki!? You mean, Loki, the Evil God of Norse Mythology!?" the girl said in surprise. Eleonora nodded at her.
"I'm afraid so." Eleonora answered, before she turned to face the fire giant before them. She raised her sword, and readied herself to fight. "Now then, the spell Shiroe-san cast won't last long. We have to strike while we can." Eleonora told them, causing the two males to nod.
"Right. We have to minimize the damage to this area, as well as preventing it from attacking any nearby towns." Shiroe said as he walked forward. Terra simple cracked his knuckle as he stepped forward as well.
"Yeah. Let's kick its giant ass." Terra said with a small grin, and then turned to the young girl.
"Well, we got things taken care of. You better evacuate if you don't want to get hurt." Terra told the young girl. However, the young girl simply frowned at him as she walked forward as well with the weapon in her hand.
"What are you talking about. I'm joining this fight as well." the young girl told him, causing Terra to blink upon the girl's answer. The girl didn't say anything, but she had her reasons. Reasons that specifically revolved around Terra.
"You are?" Terra asked, before he just shrugged at it. "Well alright. The more the merrier as they say." Terra said while shrugging. He then raised his fist, and prepared for the fight that is to come.
"By the way, never got your name." Terra said to the girl, causing her to blink at this.
"Excuse me?" the girl said in surprise.
"Well, since we're going to fight together, we might as well know each other's name just in case. The name is Terra Tachikaze, what's yours?" Terra said introducing himself.
The girl stayed silent for a moment, before she decided to introduce herself.
"...My name is Kougyoku Ren Vinea."
(With Ragna)
"Blood Scythe!" Ragna swung his scythe, which transformed from a sword, and cleaved though seven Draugr that were coming his way. Ragna then jumped into the air, and then swung down his scythe to slice a large Draugr in half. He then noticed that other Draugr were charging at him, and was about to charge. However, Ventus already had it covered.
"Sky Devil's Hurricane!" Ventus then summoned forth a tornado around her, causing a strong suction to draw in the Draugr. The animated corpses were soon picked up into the air and then sucked towards hurricane. They were soon spinning in the air rapidly, all the while suffering the effects of the Devil Slayer's magic. The spell soon ended, leaving the zombies in the air. It was then Astfolo used this chance to attack.
"Trap of Argalia!" Astfolo cried out as he summoned a shining, ornate golden lance and proceeded to pierce the zombies in the air. It was much to Ragna surprise when the legs suddenly turned into a black color than before. When the zombies fell to the ground, they all fell with a thud. But when they attempted to stand themselves up, they soon couldn't make themselves stand up, like their legs were paralyzed. However, the Draugar continued on as they attempted to crawl towards them.
"Oh yeah, my lance can damage them, and can even cause the concept of "fall" to them, but they'll drag themselves regardless. Woops." Astfolo simply replied, before he smiled. "Oh well, guess my lance isn't always going to be effective~!" Astfolo said with a bright tone. Ragna sweatdropped at the gender-confused man.
"There is so many things wrong with this...guy." Ragna muttered, before he proceeded to stab his blade onto a crawling zombie. "And these guys won't stay dead like they should be..." Ragna muttered with an annoyed tone. He shook his head as he raised his sword once more, and charged in on the next batch of Draugar.
Ventus gathered wind around her hands, and prepared herself as she faced an incoming attack from a giant Draugr.
"Sky Devil's Air Bullet Impact!" Ventus then punched the incoming fist of the Draugr, and easily pushed back the undead's strength as she overpowered it with both her physical strength and Devil Slayer Magic, blowing away the Draugr's whole body into pieces. She turned around and found about 10 flayed bulls charging at her with sharp horns. Ventus then spun herself as a a magic circle formed underneath her.
"Sky Devil's Wind Wall!" Ventus then spun a circular wall of wind around her, causing the animal shaped undead to slam into the wall, and then pushed violently up into the air, making them helpless once in the air.
"Sky Devil's Air Cutter!" Ventus launched forth a series of multiple sharp air blades to the Draugr into the air, effectively slicing them into pieces. Ventus turned around and wind gathered around her once more.
"Next?" Ventus at her next opponents. Ragna, while taking care of his part, was surprised to see the power that she had.
'Damn. She wasn't kidding when she said she is a Devil Slayer. Now then I think about it...' Ragna thought, as he proceeded to crush a cat-like zombies head with his own bare hand. 'Terra is also a Dragon Slayer. So there are multiple Slayers then...?' Ragna wondered to himself, before he ignored it as he focused on the battle before them. But he didn't see any Draugar anywhere.
"...Are they gone?" Ragna asked himself. Ventus finished her last batch of zombies as well, and looked around to see if there are any opponents. However, there weren't any in sight. She then turned to Astfolo, who was up in the air.
"Astfolo! Any more?" Ventus asked her companion. Astfolo looked around, before he shook his head.
"Nope! Don't see any!" Astfolo said with an optimistic tone. Ragna then hefted his blade over his shoulder.
"Guess we're done here..." Ragna said to himself.
Unfortunately, things weren't over just yet.
*RUMBLE*
Both Ragna and Ventus felt the ground shake underneath before them, making them look at the ground in surprise.
"An earthquake!?" Ragna exclaimed in alarm.
"No...! I'm picking up another scent of the Draugar!" Ventus cried out.
"Well ain't that good news!" Ragna said with a sarcastic tone as he readied himself while readying his sword once more, and Ventus raised her arms for combat once more. The ground soon cracked underneath them, and the two hopped away from the source of the ground exploding. The two soon saw the figure pop out of the ground, and their eyes slightly widened upon seeing a giant form raising itself from the ground. And from the looks of it...
"...The Draugar are combining together!" Ragna exclaimed upon seeing the full appearance of the undead before him.
The Draugr this time came in the form of a giant Draugr that had a heavily deformed appeareacne, as its whole body had random body parts protduring out of it, along with some heads sticking out that had their jaws opening and closing. It's size was rather large, as it could almost rival a giant in Norse Mythology. Overall, the Draugr was a clump of Draugar.
"...Well shit. They combined." Ragna said with a deadpanned tone. Ventus narrowed her as she stepped forward.
"...Ragna, stay back. I have one technique that will eliminate this giant once and for all." Ventus told the Damphir. This caused Ragna to raise an eyebrow at the young woman.
"...You sure?" Ragna asked. Ventus nodded at him.
"I'm sure." Ventus told him. Ragna stayed silent for a few moments, before he nodded.
"...Alright. But I'll provide coverfire in case shit hits the fan." Ragna told her. Ventus gave a small confident smile at him.
"If you can." Ventus simply replied. Ragna didn't say anything as he jumped back. But as soon as he stepped back, he soon felt himself being picked up into the air, and turned his head to find Astfolo picking up Ragna by the collar.
"Astfolo!?" Ragna said in surprise. Astfolo simply hefted Ragna onto his Hippogrif. He simply gave a smile at him.
"You better get some distance and cover from her. Because one she unleashes that technique, collateral damage tends to be rather large." Astfolo told him, causing Ragna to raise an eyebrow upon this fact.
"Really now?" Ragna asked. Astfolo vigorously nodded his head at him.
"Yes! Now watch! She's about to unleash it!" Astfolo told him as he pointed at Ventus, making Ragna look at what Ventus is about to do.
The giant Draugr that towered over Ventus raised its arm and swung down do crush Ventus, but Ventus had a powerful spell in hand. A magic circle formed in front of her, as well as a huge intake of air into her mouth. When the fist almost reached her, her spell was complete.
"Sky Devil's Rage!" Ventus then unleashed a mighty blast of a cyclone in front of her, unleashing might winds so strong the the area around her already began to tear up and soon picked up into the air due to the wind pressure, and then pushed away because of it. The blast of wind stormed through anything it its path, and the Draugr was no exception. It was soon hit by the blast, stopping whatever actions on what it was doing, and roared in pain as it felt itself being torn away by the wind.
Piece by piece, it was torn apart by the blast. And soon enough, the Devil Slayer begun to crumbled apart due to the intense blast of magic it received from Ventus, and soon disappeared into the blast of the blast. By the time the spell was over, it was gone, and the surrounding area around Ventus was heavily damaged, as torn trees and boulders laid across the earth.
"...Holy shit. You were right." Ragna muttered in surprise. "That spell was nothing to laugh at." Ragna muttered to himself.
"I guess Slayers are nothing to laugh at..." Ragna quietly said to himself, as he watched Ventus took a deep breath in and exhaled, before she turned to her two companions and waved towards them with a friendly smile.
(With Mittelt and the others)
"Oh crap!" Mittelt cried out as she avoided another icy blast from the ice giant. She gave a slight scowl as she formed another spear in her hand.
"Alright. Eat this!" Mittelt threw the spear towards the ice giant. However, the spear made a small prick on the giant's skin. Mittelt looked annoyed upon seeing the results.
"Oh c'mon!" Mittelt complained. Leone sped ahead of her and jumped into the air. She soon ran up the ice giant's arm, and ran up to the ice giant's face. The ice giant turned its head, only to see Leone punching it straight in the face. The giant stumbled upon impact, causing it to groan in pain while clutching its face. Leone immediately jumped off of it as it clutched its face.
As it did, Rossweisse then summoned multiple magical circles, and then shot forth a barrage of energy towards the Giant. The ice giant groaned in pain while stepping back. The Giant soon raised its weapon in the air, indicating the attack coming.
"Get back!" Rossweisse called out to the two. Mittelt immediately rushed towards Leone and picked her up into the air, lifting her high enough to avoid the in incoming shockwave of ice as the ice Giant swung its weapon down, impacting the ground with a powerful impact.
"At this rate, this whole forest is going to turn into a frozen wasteland..." Mittelt muttered to herself, before she looked down at Leone. "Hey Leone, think you you got the shot?" Mittelt asked. Leone just smirked at Mittelt upon hearing that.
"Let er rip." Leone responded. It was then with a grunt that Mittelt threw Leone into the air, and then formed a magic circle in front of her. When Leone fell in front of Mittelt, Mittelt gave a cry as she created a powerful gale to push forth Leone in a fast projectile. Leone soared through the air and towards the ice giant. When the ice giant looked up, it could only watch as it had Leone punch it right in the nose.
*BAM*
The ice giant shouted in pain as it felt such a strong impact, and staggered back while clutching its face once more. Soon, it lost its balance and fell to the ground. And when its body impacted with the forest, a loud noise was made while the earth shook from such an impact. Mittelt just gave a breath out as she flew back to the ground. As she did, Leone patted the imaginary dust off of her as she went back to Mittelt.
"Well, there is the saying that the bigger they are, the harder they fall." Leone said with a grin. Mittelt gave an unamused look to her.
"Really?" Mittelt asked with a deadpanned tone. Leone pouted at her.
"You're no fun." Leone said with a pout. It was then Rossweisse approached the two.
"It's surprising how much strength a youkai can have..." Rossweisse said with a tone of surprise, before she turned to the giant before her.
"Right. It's time to restrict its movements before..." Rossweisse said, as she was about to cast a spell.
However, the giant wasn't out just yet.
"ROOOOAAARRR!" the ice giant roared, and and explosion of ice magic erupted from its body, catching the three females off guard. Rossweisse had enough time to shield herself from the explosion, but for Mittelt and Leone...
"Look out!" Mittelt cried out as she pushed Leone out of range with wind magic.
"Wha-!?" Leone cried out in surprise, before she was pushed away from the explosion.
Ice and snow went everywhere, devastating the area around them once more. The three were sent back from the explosion. As soon as the explosion ended, the ice giant slowly made its way up. As it did, the three young woman were in a disadvantage.
Rossweisse turned out to be fine, but she was winded that she held up her barrier from a close range explosion. Leone was a bit worst, with her body covered in snow and ice. But with her youkai body and touki, she'll be able to recover in a few short moments.
However, Mittelt turned out to be worst of them all, as her wings were completely covered in ice, and her legs were struck together in ice as well. Mittelt winced to herself, feeling a few cuts around her body.
"Why does all this shit happen to me...?" Mittelt groaned out while in pain, before she turned around to see her surroundings. Her eyes widened when she found what was happening.
The ice giant before her was standing up once more, but it stood with an angry expression on its face. The ice giant then lifted its foot into the air, preparing to stomp to create a shockwave, unaware that Mittelt was on its stomping ground.
"Mittelt!" Leone cried out in alarm as she tried to make it, before she fell towards the ground. Her eyes widened, and looked to see her legs frozen with ice around it.
"Oh no!" Rossweisse cried out, as she tried to make her way towards Mittelt.
Mittelt watched with widened eyes upon seeing the giant foot coming closer to her, stiff to do anything but watch the incoming foot come towards her.
'...Am I going to die here...?' Mittelt thought to herself as she watched the giant foot come closer. All she could so is close her eyes upon seeing this.
'...Once again, I'm useless once more...' Mittelt thought to herself, waiting for her death.
"Honestly, it looks like I'm going to have to step in..." said a voice, causing Mittelt's eyes to widened upon hearing that voice.
'That voice...!'
*BOOM* *CRASH*
The foot impacted with the ground, leaving another shockwave to pass through the area. Leone and Rossweisse shielded themeless from the wind of the attack. As soon as it ended, Leone raised her fist and shattered the ice on her legs. As she did, she looked at the spot with alarm and horror.
"Mittelt!" Leone cried out to the spot, before she went into a sprint towards it. Before she could, however, she heard a chuckle enter her ears.
"Rest assured, youkai. She's safe..." said a voice. Leone gasped in surprise, before she turned to the source of the voice. Her eyes widened when she found a young man with six white wings and a halo above his head. In his arms, he held Mittelt in a bridal style carry. Mittelt, on the other hand, looked completely shocked upon what she was seeing.
"...Joshua!?" Mittelt exclaimed in shock. Joshua gave a simple smile at her.
"Hello Mittelt. How long the days have they felt without you." Joshua said with his usual smile. Mittelt didn't say anything but look at the Angel before her in shock.
"...Joshua..." Mittelt quietly said as she looked at the person before her. "...What are you doing here...?" Mittelt quietly asked. Joshua gave his signature smile towards her.
"We can worry about that later Mittelt. Right now..." Joshua said, looking at the towering figure before them. "...We have a Giant to defeat."
Mittelt didn't take her look off of him, but then reluctantly nodded at him.
"...Right." Mittelt said neutrally, before she got herself off of him. She then looked towards Leone.
"Hey. Can you...?" Mittelt asked, gesturing to wings and legs. Leone gave a shpeepish grin upon this.
"Urm, you're better off asking Rossweisse for help. Think you can melt it?" Leone asked. The Valkyrie nodded at her, and walked towards Mittelt. She then had multiple magic circles form around Mittelt, and the circle blew out hot air towards Mittelt. The ice soon melted off of her, and she could move. As soon as it did, all Mittelt could do was silently gaze towards Joshua.
"Hey, Mittelt. You okay...?" Leone asked, placing her hand on Mittelt's shoulder.
"...I'm fine." Mittelt quietly said, before she formed a spear in her hand. However, Leone gave a look of concern to her.
'Whatever it is, something is really bothering you ever since that Angel showed up.' Leone showed up, before she narrowed her eyes at Joshua. 'I don't know what's going on, but I'll figure this out sooner or later.'
(With Terra and the others)
"Thorn Bind Hostage!" Shiroe casted magical thorns to wrap around the giant, with the magical vines large enough to entangle the fire giant. As it immobilized the fire giant, the two young woman sprang forth with weapon in hand.
Eleonora gave a battle cry as she cuts through one of the vines, causing an explosion of energy to happen on the giant, causing it to roar in pain. The Devil did as well, as she managed to cut another vine, giving the giant even more damage.
"Earth Dragon's Stone Scales!" Terra then formed a scale of stones to cover himself, and then sprung forth with enhanced speed towards the fire giant. He jumped onto the weapon of the giant, and then jumped off of it to jump right into the giant's face. He then held his fist back.
"Fist of the Earth Dragon!" Terra then gathered a large amount of magic and stone onto his fist, forming a large stone fist. He then gave up uppercut to the giant's face, sending its head going backwards upon impact. It stumbled upon impact, but soon stood its ground. It then looked at Terra with an enraged look, and then breathed out fire towards him. However, Terra had the right set of defense for the sort of thing.
"Earth Dragon's Sand Defense!" Terra formed a barrier of sand to encase around him, just in time to block the breath of fire towards. When the blast of fire ended, there was bits of glass everywhere on the sand. The sand barrier soon fell to the ground with a crash. Everyone watched as they saw a fist encased in rock break through the glass, and it soon crawled out of the ball.
"I'm good!" Terra called out as he gave a thumbs up. Despite the situation they're in, Eleonora couldn't help but give a small giggle upon this, while Shiroe gave a tried sigh and tired towards his leader.
"Honestly..." Shiroe said, before he raised his staff.
"Keen Edge!"
Eleonora's sword glowed with a bright energy.
"Overrunner!"
Terra glowed with energy.
"Mage Howling!"
Kougyoku glowed with a blue energy. As soon as he finished casting his support spells, Shiroe narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation.
"Terra! Restrict its movements! Eleonora-san! Continue cutting the vines! Kougyoku-san! Continue provide cover fire with your water magic!" Shiroe called out to the group, using a strategy he has in mind.
[Got it!]
"Earth Dragon's Quicksand Field!" Terra slammed his hands onto the ground, and the entire earth beneath him and the giant changed into quicksand. Soon, the giant soon found itself sinking deep into the ground, all the ways up to its knees. The fire giant struggled against it, but it couldn't move much thanks to the quicksand. Eleonora soon used slashed through the armor giant, as well as cutting through the thorns attached to the beast, delivering even more damage.
Kougyoku then raised her sword, and water soon twirled around it. Soon, a vortex of water formed in front of her, and took into a pointy form.
"Vaniel Arros!" Kougyoku soon sped forth towards the giant. The giant attempted to block the incoming water attack with its weapon, but it didn't do much as her attack easily speared through it and impacted directly on the fire giant's chest, making steam erupt everywhere due to the heat and water impacting. The giant staggered and wobbled as it held the wound on its chest. It was then Terra and Eleonora saw the chance to finish this.
"Eleonora!" Terra called out to her.
"Right!" the Vakyrie responded to him, and raised her sword.
The two then jumped next to each other, and prepared their final attack.
"Roar of the Earth Dragon!"
"Ley Adimos!"
Eleonora gathered a large amount of wind in front of her, and soon formed a sphere of wind in front of her. She then shot it towards the target, with Terra breathing a blast of earth towards as well. The roar soon went behind the ball of wind, and it boosted it even further.
*BAM*
The two combined attacks soon exploded upon impact with the giant, engulfing the area with earth and wind. The attack soon died down, and everyone lowered their arms to see the results.
They saw the fire giant collapsed onto the ground, not moving a single muscle. They stayed silent for a while, but they soon saw that the fire giant was defeated upon this. When they saw this, Terra broke out into a grin.
"Well...that happend." Terra said as he folded his arms behind his head. Eleonora sighed with a smile as she sheathed her sword.
"It seems that it is over." Eleonora said. Kougyoku sighed with relief as she put away her weapon as well.
"It's finally over..." Kougyoku said with relief.
"It would seem so..." Shiroe said, and pushed up his glasses. "Well then Eleonora-san, I believe we should restrict the fire giant from moving."
"Oh, you're right." Eleonora said, walking towards the fire giant. She soon restricted the ice giant with her spell, and lowered her arm. She then gave a grin towards Terra.
"Thank you Terra. You truly made this case easier for us." Eleonora thanked.
"Oh, I don't mind at all." Terra said while waving it off, before he turned towards Kougyoku.
"You alright there?" Terra asked the Devil. The young Devil blink a few times upon being asked the question, before she gave a slight nod.
"...I am fine, thank you." Kougyoku responded.
"That's good to hear. Shiroe, you holding up?" Terra asked his Half-God companion.
"I've been better." Shiroe said with a slight smile. Terra nodded, and looked at the area around them with a whistle.
"*Whistle*...Fire giants sure cause a lot of collateral damage." Terra commented. Eleonora gave a sigh upon this.
"My apologies. Our giants tend to cause a lot of area damage." Eleonora said.
It was then they heard the cry of another voice.
"Hey! Eleonora! Are you alright!?" cried out a voice. Everyone turned their heads, and soon found a another woman running towards them, followed along by three other figures. When Eleonora saw her, she waved.
"Ah! Rossweisse! It seems you are fine!" Eleonora called out to her fellow Valkyrie.
"Yes. And I couldn't have done it with the help of these three." Rossweisse said, gesturing to the others.
"Mittelt! Leone!" Terra said with a bit of surprise upon seeing the state of the two. They were littered with ice shards and a few cuts on their bodies. "You guys alright?" Terra asked with concern as he looked over them.
"Ah, we had worst. Ain't that right Mittelt?" Leone asked. Mittelt gave a small smile, before she looked a bit down.
"...Yeah. I guess you could say that." Mittelt said. Terra raised an eyebrow, seeing Mittelt's response.
'That's weird. She is usually more cheerful than that...' Terra thought, before he noticed another figure in his sight.
'...Joshua...!?' Terra thought in surprise when he saw the Angel before him. Joshua gave his usual smile and waved a hello towards him, but soon held a shush expression towards him. Terra nodded at him.
"Ah, hello there. It seems that I haven't introduced myself properly to everyone. My name is Joshua, an Angel from Heaven. It is nice to meet you, Valkyries of Norse." Joshua greeted.
"An Angel...?" Shiroe said with surprise.
"An Angel. Here in a place like this. A small world..." Eleonora said with intrigue.
"Angel! And Fallen Angel...!" Kougyoku quietly said in surprise, slowly taking steps back, cautious of the arrivals of both Joshua and Mittelt. It was then Joshua noticed her presence.
"A Devil? Here?" Joshua said with a raised eyebrow. Mittelt even noticed and her body tensed at the sight of her. When Terra saw the tension between the three races, he decided to step in.
"Alright alright everyone. Let's not fight here. We're clearly not here to pick any fights, are we?" Terra said, stepping between the Devil, Angel, and Fallen Angel.
"Not really. But I'm quite curious to see why a Devil is here of all places..." Joshua said as he put a hand on his chin in a thinking pose.
"...Same here. I didn't expect an Angel and Fallen Angel to be here as well. Speaking of which, you two are kind of close to each other. I find that a bit odd." Kougyoku pointed out.
"Ah, that is because she and I have a history with each other. Isn't that right, Mittelt?" Joshua asked. Mittelt flinched upon this, and looked away from him while not responding. Joshua looked at the Fallen Angel before him, before he sighed.
"I figured as much..." Joshua said with a sigh. Terra gave a worried look towards the two, and was about to speak up. But before he could, the group soon noticed a shadow pass through them. They all blinked in surprise, and looked up to see a creature with wings flying through the sky and heading towards them.
"Another enemy?" Shiroe said, raising his staff. Eleonora shook her head at him.
"...No. I don't believe it belongs to our realm." Eleonora told him.
The group soon saw the creature land in front of them, and Terra and his group looked on in surprise when they saw Ragna and Yorokobi jump off of it.
[Ragna!] Terra and his friends cried out to him. Ragna gave a wave towards them as he walked towards them.
"Hey. What did I miss?" Ragna asked the group, before he raised an eyebrow at the new people in the group. "And who are they?" Ragna asked, before he noticed Joshua there as well. Ragna raised an eyebrow upon this, surprised upon seeing a familiar person.
"Why hello there." Joshua greeted. Ragna looked at the Angel with a raised eyebrow, before he just shrugged as he walked towards Terra.
"Hey Terra, she here says they know you. Is that true?" Ragna asked, jabbing his thumb to the person behind him.
Terra looked behind Ragna, and his eyes widened when he saw Ventus jump off of the winged creature. She turned her view towards him, and gave a smile upon seeing him.
"Terra-kun!" Ventus called out to him with an excited look.
That particular tone and name caught the attention of a few females in the group.
"Ventus!?" Terra said in surprise upon seeing her.
This gained the attention of the group as well, surprised to seeing how the two know each other.
"Terra-kun!" Ventus called out to him as she ran towards him and then proceeded to hug him. This greatly irritated Mittelt upon seeing another woman hug Terra, Leone to give a raised eyebrow upon this, and Eleonora to give an intrigued look towards the two. The rest looked either confused or surprised upon seeing their interaction.
"Ventus, what are you doing here!?" Terra asked in surprise. The young woman separated from him while giving him a smile.
"I should be asking you the same thing! What on earth were you think you were doing!? Jumping into the weird vortex in the sky!" Ventus told him.
"I thought it was a good idea! Wait, you saw that! And you thought it was a good idea to follow!?" Terra asked in surprise.
"Like you're one to talk!" Ventus retorted.
"A-Hem!" cleared a voice, causing the two to stop their argument for a short moment, and turned to see Eleonora standing there with an amused look.
"While you two can argue about who knows what, can you explain to us this person you know Terra? You seem very familiar with her." Eleonora told him. Both Leone and Mittelt nodded in agreement. The rest just gave curious looks.
It was then Terra gave a grin to the group.
"Oh, right. Everyone, meet Ventus Shikishima. She's my childhood friend and rival from Earthland." Terra said with a smile to everyone.
Everyone stayed silent upon the information, and the two Valkyries looked confused upon what he said. However, for everyone, except for Joshua, they all looked at the two in shock.
[HUH!?]
(New Spell List)
Vaniel Al-Salos! - Launches multiple water spears towards the opponent.
Sky Devil's Hurricane! - Creates a small hurricane around the user, picking up the enemies around them.
Trap of Argalia - According the Type-Moon Wikipedia, the spear's only function is to realize its legend by returning its target to Spiritual Form below the knee when the target is a Servant. It is able to hit anywhere on the target's body, even armor woven frommagical energy, and physically cut the supply to the affected part of the body. With a "wound" attached to the legs of the spiritual body, it is temporarily rendered as impossible to take form as flesh and blood, a "bad status" of "falling." For this particular fanfic, the lance is able to hit on any target's body, no matter what armor, be it physical or magical, it is pierced and hits the person. That injured spot cuts off magic energy supplied there. In addition, if it were to hit the legs, its effect would lead the legs to blacken, and render the person to simply fall and not able to move with their legs.
"Sky Devil's Air Bullet Impact!" - Basically the punch of Slayers.
"Sky Devil's Wind Wall!" - a circular wall of wind around the user, and violently pushes them up into the air. It's a highly effective defense spell.
"Sky Devil's Air Cutter!" - Creates sharp air blades.
"Sky Devil's Rage!" - The equivalent to a Dragon Slayer's roar. The user unleashes a powerful blast of wind, powerful enough to obliterate whatever is in the path of the blast.
"Mage Howling!" - It greatly boosts the magic of the person.
"Vaniel Arros!" - Generates a vortex of water in front of the user, and then use the vortex of water as a spear.
"Ley Adimos!" - The user generates a ball of wind, and launches it. Once the ball impact, it delivers a great impact, as well as being able to cut through the most sturdiest of thing. The technique was held back in this particular chapter.
And that's a wrap to this chapter!
Welp, conflict is settled, and everything is going to return to normal. Next chapter is going to conclude this arc, and again, no intense action like this chapter.
Once again, I had fun writing this type of chapter. Though, there were a few roadblocks to this. It took a while to get through, and I had to settle with what I wrote.
(Norse Legend)
I did my research on Norse Mythology creatures, and decided that an Ice Giant, Fire Giant, and Draugrs are going to be the problem in the story.
I especially looked heavily into the Draugrs, and their listed abilities are actually true in mythology. Though, them combining to form a giant zombie was my idea.
(Ventus Shikishima )
Yes, I have created another character that Terra knows from Earth Land, known as Ventus Shikishima.
Originally, I thought of Terra as the only person to go into the DxD-verse. But after taking a few suggestions from others, as well as seeing that Terra as the only guy seems pretty boring and simple. So I've decided to add another Earthland Mage to the mix.
Wait, a Dragon Slayer? Now a Devil Slayer? Does that mean there's potential for a God Slayer...? Who knows? You'll just have to read to find out. ;P
And to top it off, she is a Wind Devil Slayer.
And yes, she is a part of Terra's harem.
Her appearance is based on a picture I got inspired from. Simply put in the Pinterest web address , and then put in the /pin/246361042087829573/ after it. But see her without the weapon and imagine her having a bigger bust. :P
P.S. You can put the pin/number alone on the google search engine as well.
(Kougyoku Ren)
Behold, my second most favorite female character in Magi: the Labyrinth of Magic, Kougyoku Ren. The first is Morgianna. I was at first tempted to pick Morgianna as a Devil, but then I scraped the idea due to another fanfic author using Morgianna already, plus I wanted originality. So I settled with my second most female character in Magi.
As you know, Kougyoku Ren is a member of the Viné (Vinea) Pillar. And yes, I am aware the Pillar is extinct. However, I am aware that there are Pillars that are extinct, yet having members alive at the same time. This means that Kogyoku is a member of a non-pure blood clan. She's Half-Devil, Half Human.
(Astfolo)
If you guys know Fate/Stay Night series, it's the heroes. And yes, I did pick Astfolo as a travel companion of Ventus. Why? Because why the hell not.
(Visual help)
The Ice Giant shown in the story has the appearance of Tarutauruga of Fourth Prison from Log Horizon. The Fire Giant is like the opposite color version of it, as well as having a different beard.
