Yo, it only been a few days but here it is another chapter. I want to end this arc as soon as possible so I could focus on my other fic but from the look of it this will be a rather long arc.
To Zerofang, I have no choice but to reply to your review here. Well to answer your question starting with Windalfr. yes… that was a nice Idea but that part about the stronger… to be honest most of the cast in Dxd is stronger than Saito in term of power. So I cant do that or else Windalfr is as good as useless. And that part about being intelligent it already proven that intelligence wont effect Windalfr performance considering Julio once take control of Sylphid like it was nothing and she a Rhym Dragon which as intelligent as human is. I already thought of something about Windalfr thought so don't worry to much about it.
About the Holy sword yes… I did introduce to many in this arc, I think it was proper considering this arc was about Holy sword in the first place. And yes… Julian will replace Freed but he won't do everything Freed does. Both of them are different person after all. Also… I don't mind any question you ask. I try to answer it without giving to much spoiler.
That should do it… let get on with the story shall we.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Urk… I stretched my body because of the stiffness I felt. I've been doing nothing but lock myself in my workshop. It sure was thought to extract the data from Excalibur. I have to test the sword durability and how strong it Holy energy is. In other word was a lot of work for me alone. I could really use someone help right now.
I tried to think of anyone that could help me.
My mind wonders to Souna… nope. If she helps me than she bound to found some secret I kept from her. Not to mention my movement will be restricted if she was the one that help me.
How about Tsubaki? She certainly is a better choice. But still her personality is almost the same as Souna. Every time I get along with another girl she act all moody and all. I wonder what her problem?
Hm… I can't ask Saji because he probably report to Souna about anything suspicious. It was a good thing I managed to brib- I mean convince him into not telling Souna. Tiffa won't be any help at all In fact she might got me distracted with her… Well you know what I mean. Meanwhile Siesta probably just takes up space. Not to mention her loyalty to Souna surpassed her loyalty to me… she might spill some secret I don't want souna to know so she also out.
Yura… she won't even be any help… and I rather not ask Meguri… she seems busy with her ghost hunting business. Momo is too sarcastic for my own good and Ruruko is too strict. Then that only left Kusaka but I doubt she would understand anything I told her. I need someone who is smart enough to understand what I was doing in order to even capable of assist me.
I guess that all the student council member. Did I knew someone else? Maybe I could ask Fatima… she seems perfect for the job. But I feel like she will be busy with her own village business so that left me to look for someone else… oh wait. What about that girl Ravel Phenex?
From the way she reacts she seems smart enough to understand something that was explained to her. There also that other assistance that Ajuka promised to send to me. Having one more couldn't hurt… right?
Yosh… now that settled I have to think of a hiding places right now. I was to engross on my research that I even forgot about class. Souna would kill me for sure this time. Where should I go? My house was clearly rejected. She definitely search me there. The facility is also not possible considering she knew I usually hanging up here.
Maybe I could hide in Occult research clubroom? Nonono… I can tell that Rias didn't like me very much. What if she told Souna about me? Then… Where should I go?
As I ponder what to do…
"Isn't Buchou-san going home with us? "
"Hm? Yeah… It seems like I made Buchou angry…"
"…Did you do something?"
I heard two people talking not to far from me. Since I'm still inside school area there must be student here. Not to mention I recognize the voice.
"Oiiiii… Issei! Asia!"
I shout at them as they turn around looking at me surprised.
"S-saito Senpai?"
The girl Asia said a bit shock by my sudden appearance. While issei just look at me confused.
"What are you doing here?" Issei ask suspiciously.
Can't blame him really. I just came out from the forest near the school ground. There is a secret entrance to the Underground lab there. I kept it a secret from Souna in case I need to escape from her and it looks like it wasn't wrong to build it there. Nice job there Ajuka. I silently thank him.
"Hahaha… Just some thing. By the way are the two of you heading home right now?" I decide to change the topic fast before their probe any further. I don't want to use mind wipe on them if necessary.
"Yeah… we don't have anything to do on club so we decide to head home." Issei answer me.
Issei home huh… come to think of it I never been there before. Maybe I could hide on his place for the time being. Souna wouldn't even though I will be on Issei house of all people. Yosh… that should be perfect.
"Mind if I tag along? Don't be mistaken… I'm a bit curious on your home. I heard you live with Asia and Rias which make me want to kill you but don't worry I managed to restrain myself." I said so with an Honest smile.
"Hahaha… that was a nice joke Senpai…. Right?" issei look doubtfull as he look at me.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" and all I did was laugh it off.
"TELL ME IT WAS A JOKE, PLEASE!"
I ignore Issei shout… making him paler than he is. Just you wait Issei… representing all the Boy in the school you will receive divine punishment for sure…hahahahaha…..
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Finally after a waling for a while we reach on what appear to be Issei house. The house seems looks normal enough. As I take a step forward I notice the other two seem to be stuck on the ground unable to move. Their face also pale as if they just saw their impending death or something.
"What wrong? Did you two catch a cold or something?" Is Issei family so frightening that they even hesitated to come in?
"Can't you feel it?" Issei ask but his body still shaking while Asia already grip Issei clothes tightly as she was shaking horribly?
"Feel what? Are there Devil in the ho- oh wait. You guys are the devil." I wonder what make them shaking so much. Could it be, can they feel the Excalibur that I kept in my Inventory? If that was the case they should have felt it the moment I make contact with them.
After they calm down for a while they finally went inside but both of their eyes has this cautiousness as they walk step by step. As for me I just follow them without a single clue as to what going on. The least they could do is Explain it to me.
Sigh… I better get ready with Derf just In case. As I follow them my hand never leave the ring on my hand ready to summon Derf anytime.
I heard laughter from the living room. Issei went there quickly as me and Asia follow him and saw two unfamiliar girls and what appear to be his mum who was laughing.
"Oh Ise. Welcome back. What happened? You look pale."
"Hauuuuu. I'm so glad."
"Um…hi."
My own reaction was really different from them. First of all I don't know why Asia feel glad for. So all I could is said greet his mother.
"Are you Issei friend? Welcome… please make yourself at home." Issei mother said politely.
"Nonono… I'm sorry if I interrupts something. It seems you have a guest." I make a gesture to the two girls who are sitting on the Sofa.
"Ah… We're also just about to leave ourselves. Don't worry about us."
The woman with chestnut hair smiled at me. Next to her was the girl with green mesh and there was a weapon covered in cloth next to her. I just smile at her but in my mind…
(D-damn… of all the places why are there two Excalibur inside Issei house?) I look at the woman with Chestnut hair whose seem to be call Shidou Irina as she introduce himself to Issei. From the situation I can conclude that this girl is Issei childhood friend and when they were little Issei thought she was a boy.
But that not what important. What important is the rope that was on her shoulder and something that was hidden behind those cover clothes.
Yes…. Just by being near them I already knew the name of the weapon. Excalibur Destruction is the one that was cover by the clothes. Of course I was surprised to find the Excalibur just under my radar but that not what got my attention. I turn to look at Excalibur mimic which had taken the form of rope right now.
No good… I can't extract any more information if I don't see the sword abilities with my own eyes.
"Um… I think it about time I head home." I said to Issei mother as I excuse myself. But before I could leave.
"It also about time were leaving. It was nice meeting you auntie." The girl Shidou irina bow. The other girl also nods a bit but her attention was on me. Why is she looking at me? Could it be she found out that I also posses the Excalibur? That can't be… if even a Devil like issei can't sense it than there no way this two could. But still this may be an opportunities.
Just like that the three of us leave Issei house after saying good bye. Issei seem wanting to said something but I shut him up. From my face he must have figured out I knew that this two is not an ordinary person.
"My name Saito. I'm Issei Senpai." I said casually as I held my hand. There no need for me to blurt out anything about supernatural. After all I'm quite sure that they was confused. After all no matter how they tried to sense it I'm not a Devil so even if they have a Holy sword it was not a threat to me.
Unlike Issei which can feel threaten just by having a Holy sword nearby. That also part of the reason why Siesta always kept her Ame no Murakumo on sheath. Just by drawing the sword the power was unleashed immediately. Right now she has no means on controlling the strong power of the holy sword but with time she will. I'm sure of it.
"Shidou Irina~ I live near here ten years ago." The girl answer cheerfully but the other girl just scoff and turn away as if looking at me repulse her.
"Heh… So you haven't return here quite a while. I'm also just move here a few month ago and thing is so confusing at first."
"Yeah… I can understand that. It was a wonder how this place has changed."
Shidou-san and me got into conservation as we chatted happily but both me and her knew this is just a charade.
Once we arrive at the fountain in the park it became silence all of a sudden.
"So, perhaps it about time you tell us why you brought the two of us here?"
The other girl finally speaks. Her eye lingering around making sure there was no one else.
"Haha…guess I better stop the act nee?" They knew it was an act already but the way I said it must have cause them to be on guard. Oioioi… They didn't need to go that far. Did I really look like a villain. No matter how you look at it the protagonist seem to suit me better... maybe.
"You… what are you? I can see that your neither Devil or fallen angel? You are a human… But I can see your not ordinary one." The blue hair girl eye me warrily.
"What I am is not important. What important is that sword you have."
Both of them tense at the mention of the word 'sword'. But something wrong. When I said the word sword that blue hair girl focus doesn't seem to be just on his Excalibur. Could it be there are other? If that the case my Myoznitnirn should have done the work already. Maybe it just my imagination.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She said still playing ignorance.
"Excalibur Mimic, Excalibur Destruction." I mutter as they eyes widen surprised on my knowledge.
"H-how did… Well it doesn't matter. The fact that you knew this… are you with Grigory?"
Grigory? If I remember correctly that was the name of the Fallen angel organization. They leader was Azazel if what Souna told me is correct and they consist of many Fallen angel that still alive after three great war over.
"Heh… I don't have anything to do with Grigory and all I want is…" Both of them seem to be prepared to draw they sword anytime soon as they wait for me to finish my sentence.
"…Please let me borrow the Excalibur!" I bow to them.
"Hah?"
"Eh?"
No doubt they was confused. After all I did act a bit hostile.
"Like I said I want to borrow your Excalibur. Think of it as a rent. I even pay for it. How about it?"
I said to the two of them which seems trying to make sense on what going on.
"Hm… How about 1,000,000 yen for for a days?" Ignoring they confusion I kept talking. Since they are confused now is the best chance for me to pressure them on agreeing. Money is not really a problem. I made a lot of money from my photo business that I don't even know what to do with it.
"Um…rent? As if you want the Excalibur… ehh?" it seems Shidou Irina is confused by my sudden change of attitude. Good… it seems my plan work.
"Yeah… it only for a day… and the pays wasn't so bad either."
"um…oka-"before I could trap her…
"Wait Irina!" the other girl stop her before she could agreed.
"Tch." That was closed. If she have said okay right then and there I would have gotten my hand on Excalibur mimic. Of course I only borrow it for a few days like I said. All I need it extract it data and then I have no use for it anymore. The girl would not go back on their word since they are a nun I'm sure betraying they promise is against their teaching. For some reason I feel like a villain here… since they are on God side surely they cant break a promise that they make.
"You! For what reason do you want the Excalibur, the Holy sword can only be use by those that had been chosen by it. Depending on your answer I might not let you go." As she said that the blue hair girl remove the cover as it revealed a long sword.
"I'm against violenc-"
Before I could finish my word she charged at me swinging his sword.
*Boom*
The sword touches the ground on where I am a second ago. It looks like a normal attack but the force of Destruction behind it is to great. Truly fitting for the name Excalibur destruction.
"At least let me finish my word!" I shout at her. If not for the Sword in my hand I won't be able to dodge her. But that also was a mistake on my part.
"T-that! the Excalibur!" Irina shout when she notice the weapon in my hand.
"Bingo… You got the first prize. Now if you want we can trade our Excalibur." With a blur I reappear beside her as I speak. I still haven't given up on the sword yet. I must get my hand on Excalibur mimic. Destruction could wait later. Mimic is my top priorities.
"N-no!" Irina suddenly lash his rope as the form suddenly change to those of Katana.
Ho… Form the look of it the change was instantaneous and you only need to imagine it without any word. If I could replicate that ability it would prove useful to me. but before that I have a blade to dodge. Irina sword start to twist like a snake as it headed at me.
Hm… so not only his shape even his length can be changed.
I dodge all of the attack with improve speed form Rapidly. Unlike Haste which allow me to move anyway I like. Rapidly will only affect my velocity so the best I could is moving straight at fastest speed. As I tried to dodge I can see the other girl charged at me. One hit from that sword and I'm as good as gone.
I guess I have no choice but to retreat.
[Haste!]
Just like that I disappear from their view… it seems honest method didn't work. I need to use other method if I want to have that sword. Well… it not really a bad thing. Once I finish extracting data I return it back to her.
"…"
"…"
Maybe I'm indeed acting like a villain just now. Maa… Who cares, It not like I plan anything bad. Call it a scientist curiosity.
And so… I decide to walk home as I walk in the lonely night.
Hm… for some reason I feel like I forgetting something?
About half and a hour later I finally arrive back.
"I'm home~" I enter the house lazily. It felt like forever since I return home. I told my family that I'll be sleeping in my friend house while the thruth is I've been coop up in the underground facilities adjusting all the system and also extracting the data from the Excalibur.
"Saito."
Guh… for some reason I felt my impending death. That voice was clearly mom but for some reason she seems angry.
"H-hi… Mom. What up…. You look beautiful today."
"So I wasn't beautiful before?"
"N-no… that not what I meant…"
What with this sense of impending death…
"That enough excuse… now then. I heard from Souna-chan that you skip school today?"
Gulp… how stupid I am. Of course my mom will be inform if I skip school without any notification. Not to mention my mom is as scary... no, thousand time scarier than Louise and Souna combine together.
I turn to my father for help but he quickly look elsewhere as he pretend to read the newspaper on his hand.
That it I'm doom. Dear grandfather in heaven… it look like I'll be visiting you soon.
I silently pray as I wait for soon to be my execution.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day after my meeting with the wielder of Excalibur.
"Wait a sec! run that by me again? Siesta and Tiffa Is attacked by a boy and this boy also posses a Holy sword Kusanagi. And this boy also knew about Siesta and not only that he also have a sword which happen to be Excalibur." I summarize all the event that happen to Siesta and Tiffa while I was busy somewhere else.
"That should cover it… I've been trying to contact you but you didn't answer your cell. Where did you go yesterday anyway?" Souna ask me with her own usual sharp gaze but I already gotten use to it already.
"I've got some stuff to do but that not important here, yesterday I have some talk with Ajuka…" I answer vaguely. To be honest my memories seem to be blank after I return home yesterday. Something seems to happen but whenever I tried to recall it I feel a slight pain on my head. It as if my own subconscious doesn't want to recall what happened. I decide to give up on remembering it. If I can't remember it than it not really important.
And so I decide to tell them about what Ajuka told me about Siesta. If we combine this story together than the boy Julian was another apprentice that I heard from him and for the sword who Kusanagi who is supposed to be missing was in his possession for some reason.
But Julian heh… could it really be him. I only meet him a few times back in Halkeginia and he look like a nice kid. For a kid like that to talk about murder not to mention his own Sister. If there are some relation between this world and Halkeginia than that Julian must also be Siesta Brother in this world. I kept this quiet for now as I still don't have any proof yet. For all I knew this Julian could be unrelated to Siesta.
"… that what he told me. Did It jog any of your memories." I ask Siesta but all she does is shake her head. Is it just me or did she act as if she didn't care at all about her past? Hm… It was a wonder how people from two different dimension could be the same and yet so different.
"Well then… There still something else happened while you were gone…"
Souna start to speak in order to change the topic. It was obvious we wouldn't go anywhere like this but I wonder what else happen while I'm not here. To many event keep happening at the same time that I don't even know what just happen.
If I think about it carefully all the event that happen up to now fall under the category of Excalibur. Wait a sec… I think Hypnos doesn't have anything to do with Excalibur so I could rule him out as separate problem.
"…the Excalibur has been stolen."
As I thought… It seems we finally got involved in this Excalibur incident.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
From what Souna told me apparently two people from the church side had met her in order to ask permission to talk with those which are in charge of this area meaning Gremory. I bet those two people must be the same person I met yesterday.
"Oh… is that so?" I said feigning interest while in fact I already knew this beforehand. "Oh look at the time. My favourite anime about to start so I better go."
"Favorite anime? what do you- Saito!" I can hear Souna shout but it was to late already as I already outside the range of student council. Since those two are here I better devise some plan to steal- I mean borrow the Excalibur!
I hope those two are still there.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Issei P.O.V
How did it come to this?
We, the members of Gremory group, were gathered in the club room. On the sofa, Buchou with Akeno-san and the two "guests" were sitting. The other members of our group including myself were sitting in the corner of the room listening to their conversation. Ever since those two came to the club room, we couldn't stop but feel something. Our instincts as devils were telling us that they were dangerous. Buchou and Akeno-san were talking to them with a serious face. But the most dangerous one was Kiba. He was glaring at them grudgingly. If something were to happen… No. He looked as if he was about to go slashing at them any moment. They were the believers of God that Kiba hates. If you knew his past, then you would know that he was brimming with hatred now.
The conservation start normally and then it start to change direction to the point I can't keep up with them. Thing start to feel bad when they show us the Excalibur which seems to only increase Kiba hatred.
The conservation continued for a moment…we found out that the one responsible was this person called Kokabiel.
"Ahem… this is something that even escaped our intel… perhaps you could told us something about Hiraga Saito." Eh? Why the heck did she want to know about Senpai. Did something happen between them yesterday? I haven't seen Senpai yet today but he should be alright I hope.
"Hiraga Saito… yes I know him but why do you ask?" Buchou keep her calm as she ask them the reason.
"He has the Excalibur on him."
Just like that the room grow silent. Excalibur… did she meant the same one that she has. Senpai has one? No way I didn't even notice.
"There must be some kind of mistake. If he indeed posses the weapon than we would have known about it already." I agree with Buchou. There's no way a Devil like us wouldn't notice a Holy sword nearby.
"It the truth. Yesterday he confronted us and ask to borr- I mean ren- in any case… he ask for our Excalibur." I don't know whether it was the slip of tongue but Irina seems to found it hard to describe what happened.
"I see… I try to ask Souna about this later. But back to the matter at hand I doubt your reason for coming here is just to tell us about the Stolen Excalibur." As expected of Buchou she managed to steer the conservation just like that.
The meeting continued smoothly until the girl Xenovia start to ridicule Asia which only make me angry. It didn't help that Kiba just add the fuel to the fire. And so… It has been decided that it will be a tag team match. Me and Kiba versus Irina and Xenovia.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hmmmm. So how did it turn out like this?
I was standing at the place where we were practicing for the ball tournament. Kiba was standing a bit away from me. And Shidou Irina and Xenovia were standing in front of us. Enveloping us and our surroundings was a barrier made from red aura. The other members were looking at us from outside the barrier.
"Then let's start."
Irina and Xenovia took their white robe off and were wearing black battle purpose clothes. They weren't showing their skins but it looked…erotic… You could see the curves of their bodies. Ummmm, both of them have nice curves and tight hips! Xenovia took the cloth off her weapon and revealed her Excalibur. The Excalibur that Shidou Irina had also turned into the shape of a katana.
"Then I won't hold back." I summon my Sacred gear immediately. Of course this caught the reaction of the two as they start to babble something about Vanishing dragon. If I'm not mistaken that was the enemy of the Sekiryutei.
"Ummmm Shidou Irina… Can I call you Irina? Do we have to fight? I already said what I wanted to regarding what you said about Asia. I don't think we have to battle."
It was my opinion. There were things I wanted to say to the people from the church regarding Asia. There was a part of me that felt relieved saying it today. Well, if they said anything bad about Asia again then I would fight them. I don't take other people talking ill about my family. But Irina looked at me with a pitiful face. More like there was a single drop of tear falling down her cheek.
"A pitiful Hyoudou Issei-kun. No, I will call you Ise-kun since I knew you since a long time ago. And what trick has destiny played on us! I went to England because I found out that I can use holy-swords, and I thought that I could be a representative of God! Aaah, this also must be a trial that God has given me! The land that I haven't been back in for so long! A harsh destiny where my childhood friend has turned into a devil! The way time moves is harsh! But by moving forward, I will turn into someone with the true belief towards God! Now Ise-kun! I will give judgment to you with this Excalibur! Amen!"
Even though Irina was shedding tears, she seemed really eager to do it and pointed her sword at me. Huh!? Huuuuh!? Th…this girl kept on saying something hard to understand! Oooh! Her eyes were sparkling like a star! Did she get drunk with her beliefs? Was she enjoying this situation? Wow! This is a type of girl you should never get involved with!?
"Um… I don't actually know what you are talking about but! Come, Booster Blader!" I shout the name of my weapon as it appears on my hand. I have been having some argument with Ddraig before about the name. I want to call it something cool but I can't think of anything at all so he take the liberties to name it Welsh Dragon blade but I immediately reject it. I don't need a sword that have a long name. after about an hour argument both of us finally agreed on the name. Booster Blader. Since the sword has a connection with my Booster gear I decide to name it after the Boosted gear.
"That sword… what is that sword? Booster Blader? Never heard of it."Xenovia mutter as she analyze my sword.
"Heh… just because you have Excalibur don't think my sword is weaker. I show you that this sword can surpassed even Excalibur." I shout but the truth is I wasn't really sure about it. Senpai did said that this sword won't lose even to the Legendary sword so the Excalibur who had been split to seven shouldn't be a problem for it… I think.
[Boost!]
Good that the first boost. The counter on the sword change from 7 to 8. I guess the number didn't decrease at all from the last time I use the sword. I could stock the number to the limit and then I could use the ability with ease. That quieted convenient if I say so myself.
"Heh… we'll see about th-"
CLANG
Not giving his opponent to finish her word Kiba slash at Xenovia as they sword met.
"Here I come Ise-kun."
Irina rush in slashing toward me but I managed to block her sword using mine. That was close. If I got caught by that I'll definitely die. I have to be careful.
Her sword suddenly decide to change form as it rush at me like a snake.
[Count 2: EARTH]
The Boost counter decreased as a wall of earth raise in front of me to block the incoming strike.
[Boost!]
Yosh my second Boost. It really tempting to activate it now but I should wait for another Boost before I did anything.
Now then to buy some time.
I can see Irina charge at me from other direction. It seems she intend to finish the match fast before I could get another Boost. She seem knowledgable about Boosted gear if she knew that if she want to win she have to beat me fast.
But I wont give her the chance.
[Count 4: WIND]
The sword start to produce a raging gale of wind as it start to blow away anything that came near me. This of course cause irina movement to stop as she tried to withstood the raging wind.
Nice move… I can see her panties clearly thanks to the wind. This only fuel my own power. No matter what I'll strip you for sure.
The wind stop after a few second but a few second was all I need.
[Boost!]
Yosh it's the third Boost!
[Explosion!]
I stopped my boost and made it so that I could fight with the power I had increased till now! If I don't stop like this, then the power will get unbalanced and the power might start from zero.
"…What a lecherous face. What are you thinking?"
Fufufu. I will be seeing you naked soon.
"…Please be careful. Ise-senpai has the power to blow away the clothes of women he touches."
Koneko-chan!? Why are you revealing my move to the enemy!? Koneko-chan said it while looking at me with rebellious eyes.
"…Enemy of all women. You are the worst."
"Aaah! Those are harsh words Koneko-chan!"
"What a lowly technique! Aaah God. Please forgive this sinful pervert!"
Irina made a sad expression while praying.
"Don't look at me with those pitiful eyes!"
"…You are the worst."
I'm sorry Koneko-chan. Sorry for being horny!
"Ise-san! If you were craving for a woman's body, then you could have said it to me…! I wouldn't mind sacrificing my body for Ise-san."
Self sacrifice! Just to be expected from a former Christian, Asia-san! But aren't you saying something bold out of the blue.
"I see. The mass of sexual desire. I think it's a fitting action for a devil that has such strong greed."
Xenovia said it while making a sigh. But she was looking at me with scornful eyes!
"I'm sorry."
I don't know why but Kiba apologized to her. There's no need for you to apologize you dipshit! Why am I the only one being treated like this? Kiba created a demonic-sword where he stood and held it. He now had two swords and went towards Xenovia.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Now back to where we were! Burn! And freeze! "Flare Brand" and "Freeze Mist"!"
One of the demonic-swords created a whirl of flames while the other one made a cold air and silver frost. Kiba is a "Knight". "Knights" traits are their speed. He was attacking with God speed. But Xenovia was evading Kiba's attack, which came from all directions, with the minimum movements.
"The "Knights" swift flame and ice demonic swords. But you are too naïve!"
KACHING!
A single swing of Xenovia's turned Kiba's two demonic swords to dust.
"…!"
Kiba became speechless because his demonic-swords were destroyed with a single swing. But he quickly recover afterward. This was not the first time he have his sword broke. He still remember the fight he has with Saito Senpai… he easily destroy his sword and not to mention his destructive power wasn't even near what Xenovia use.
"My sword is a mass of destruction. There's nothing it can't destroy."
Xenovia swirled around her sword. She then pointed it upwards then thrust it into the ground.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! The ground was destroyed and what left of it is a large creator create by the sword. but still just because one have amazing destructive power that doesn't mean he will need to fight with destruction. If he haven't fought with Saito before kiba might have gone ahead and create a sword to rival that power. But doing that will cost him his speed which is stupid considering speed is his strength.
That why….Kiba summon another two sword but this time one being a wind sword while the other was a sword made out of stone. If he want to win he need to surpassed the sword power by using skill. That skill… if he use it it should be possible to beat her. Kiba try to burn the image of the skill he received firsthand into his brain as he take a right stance.
Xenovia take this chance as she charged at kiba preparing to strike at him.
Kiba only has one chance at this. if he fail than the match is over. If he remember correctly the name of the move is…
[Dual blades rush sword skill, Double Circular!]
Kiba remember how that person did the move as he tried to copy it… Kiba kick the ground as he dash at Xenovia. Ashe got near her he rotated his body upward. The momentum will increase the power behind Kiba attack. Kiba slashed his stone sword upward as it Xenovia did the same. The two sword met but it was obvious which is more powerful. Just like that Kiba sword shatter but Xenovia Excalibur change course as the result of the clash. The reason Kiba created that sword was because of his high Durability. Because of that he managed to deviate Xenovia trajectory… her sword already miss and Xenovia are still staggering all. Kiba didn't waste any time as he using the momentum from the rotation slash with the other sword. the attack would hit her just a matter of second.
It my win! Or at least that was Kiba thought. Before the sword could met Xenovia suddenly a terrifying aura could be felt for a moment around Xenovia. Kiba swore he could see a hilt of the sword coming from the hole that tear the space apart. As the terrifying aura disappear Kiba sword also disappear and Xenovia hit him with the back of the blade as Kiba got blast away.
"kuh… to think I have to use it…I guess I underestimate you."
She seems to mutter something but Kiba was at loss of word. Even he didn't understand what just happen. It all happen in a blink of an eye and the next thing he knew his sword broke and then the girl hit him with the back of Excalibur. Because of that he can't even stand at all right now and he can feel his consciousness black out.
"Xenovia, watch out!" Before he black out he heard the other Excalibur user voice but he wasn't sure what just happen as his consciousness black out.

About half minute ago.
"Come on… don't just dodge… let me touch you!" I shout as I bring my sword down to Irina but she seems to maintain their distance from me. If only Koneko-chan didn't said anything I would have seen her naked already.
Kuh… I guess I have no choice but to use that new technique. I haven't test it on someone else yet so I don't know whether it will work or not but this is the only chance if I want to see her Naked.
There about 6 second left before my boost reset, I don't have time to waste. Without wasting any I take out a certain item that I have kept with me for a while now.
"Glasses?" Irina show a confused look at what I just get out from my pocket.
Yep… it was glasses. But it wasn't ordinary glasses… with this no woman in the world could escape from eye.
As I put the glasses on my vision changes… when I look at Irina she currently were holding the Excalibur clad in her underway. Her uniform from before was gone or at least gone from my vision.
"fufu… White Bra and panties… what a great view…" i can't help but mutter this as I feel my own Lust increasing.
"W-wha- H-how did you…" Irina seem to be in a state of shock by my word but I don't have time to waste any more time.
"Take this… an upgrade version of Dress Break."
a locus of red energy gather at my hand as it transform to a shape of a small ball of energy.
[Dress Break Shoot!]
The ball of energy shot out like a bullet as it fired at Irina at high speed and Irina who was caught of guard by the sudden attack unable to dodge as the it hit her.
"…."
"…."
"…."
That weird nothing happened. Did I make a mistake somewhere? The ball of energy just hit her and then it got bounced as it headed straight to the sky.
"What did you just…"
Just as she said that the sound of fabric being tear apart can be heard as Irina clothes or rather piece of her what appear to be her clothes scatter leaving her bare naked for all to see…
Uoooooooo… what a nice view! As expected… I have this glassed to thank for. I have been thinking on a way to strip a girl without touching them and you can say I was at loss… but then I remember the X-ray glassed that Senpai gave me. it allow me to see through one piece of clothing of any female and I see. I imagine that if I use it while using dress Break it might help me somehow and well what do you think? For some reason because of the increase of my desire as my Imagination gotten stronger I could use this skill somehow. As long as I wear this glasses I can use the move anytime. I have to thank Senpai for this later.
"Kyaaa!"
Suddenly a piercing shriek can be heard and that voice is definitely Asia.
"Asia!" being worried of Asia I turn around and…"Goh!"
D-damn I almost when nosebleed there. When I turn around I can see Asia body as clear as a day. I wasn't Kidding as Asia was Naked for some reason.
"T-the sphere of energy is…" Asia seems to say something and that when I notice a sphere of Crimson energy flying around as it headed for… Koneko-chan?
*Thud*
Koneko catch it before it could touch her but…
Koneko clothes got blown away nonetheless.
What is this? Did I somehow died and went to Heaven? How did a Devil even go to a Heaven escaped me.
"ara… what a naughty attack… it seems it was a Homing attack." Akeno mutter as she leapt a bit to dodge the sphere of energy before hitting her. Damn it what a waste.
"Ise-kun…" suddenly I can feel an ominous aura behind me and behold it was Irina on her birthday suit looking angry.
"How do you feel it? It's the technique I created by putting all of my talents at magic into it… I'm going to continue blowing away girls clothes…and no one would get in my way…" I shout triumph. Victory is mine.
RESET
"…"
"…"
"Um… Can we talk this over?"
"Die!"
Gah!
Of all times why did it have to reset now! Irina somehow look really scary right now.
She swung his sword as I raised my sword to block it but all of a sudden her blade split into two as it headed to me passing through my sword.
Guh… I use all of my strength to jump backward to avoid the attack.
"That was clos-" I thought I escaped her attack but all of a sudden my body suddenly lost all strength and I fell down on my knee.
"It's the damage caused by the holy-sword. Devils and fallen-angels get their power and existence erased by receiving damage from the holy-sword to their body. If it were a bit deeper, then it would have been critical."
H-how could this happen…c-calm down. How much Boost Counter I have left? I look at the sword and see the number 4 on the jewel. Kuh…. If only I have 6 counter I can use the Healing spell the same as that Elf girl meaning it can be used on Devil. The downside is it can only affect myself and the healing power is much weaker than the original is.
I lose… or at least it look like I lose.
Irina as if noticing something turn around… it seem she forgotten she was bare naked as I watch in interest.
"Xenovia, watch out!"
Irina shout at the other girl Xenovia who from the look of it had beaten up Kiba.
Before I lose consciousness I watch yet again as one more girl got strip out by my [Dress Break Shoot]. What a terrifying technique, even without me guiding it the energy move by itself as it targeting any woman nearby. Fufufu… with this I can strip many girl clothes with ease. None shall escape my power… was the last thing on my mind before I lose consciousness.

(Saito P.O.V)
So it finally finish. When I arrive at Occult research club I found out that no one was there but I heard some commotion on the Tennis court so I decided t check it out immediately and I found the Gremory team with that two Excalibur wielder from yesterday.
From the look of it there seem to be having a fight. Maybe something happened during their meeting. It was two on two match between Kiba and Issei vs Irina and that other girl.
I decide to hid myself as I watch the battle. I try to be as close as possible so I can gather any information about the Excalibur. You can get much data with just watching but sometime direct contact is necessary for data extraction. I need to get my hand on the Excalibur for at least 4 hour to complete Data Extraction.
And so I decide to watch the fight and I'm a bit surprised when I see Kiba copy the move of Kirito from Sword Art Online. Although he make a few mistake it still not enough to hamper the execution of the skill but it may weaken it a bit.
Kirigaya Kazuto or rather in this case Kirito probably exist. But that story for another time. Right now I have to focus on the current situation. Kiba attack failed as a sudden burst of energy suddenly coming out from Xenovia. That sudden burst of energy was only for a short moment that it would be impossible to notice it unless you're in close proximities as Kiba. The other didn't even notice that burst of energy. The only reason I notice it is because Myoznitnirn react with that thing that the blue hair girl bring to realities.
Durandal. The other Holy sword that won't lose even to Original Excalibur. Just like Ame no Murakumo the sword can be consider legend and it power is great that it can kill even Ultimate class Devil in one strike. What with this gathering of Holy sword?
Excalibur, Ame no Murakumo, Kusanagi, and Durandal? What next? Gram? Than again Gram is a demonic sword so it didn't count.
During the fight I shift my attention to Issei and I almost let out the fact that I'm here. What kind of attack was that!? Issei was definitely wearing the glasses I gave him. I hope he kept it a secret about the glasses abilities. What concerns me is Issei skill. He create a condense form of energy of Dress Break and shoot it at his opponent. Once it touches the girl even if it didn't hit the clothes it will still strip the girl naked. Not only that, the attack also seems to have consciousness on it own as It move from one girl to other. Not to mention even when Issei Sacred gear reset it still kept on as long as they're a girl in vicinity. The Blue hair girl which called Xenovia didn't notice it as it hit her. as Issei lose consciousness the sphere of energy also phase out of existence. Enough to say everything is a chaos thanks to Issei new technique.
[Explosion]
I whisper a bit as s small explosion hit the centre of tennis court causing a lot smoke. Enough to say it only added to the confusion as they were on guard but with all they body to be seen it give me a lot of opening as I immediately cast Haste.
I also added the effect of Rapidly as it increase my velocity by tenfold.
As smoke clear Xenovia and Irina show a confused look as the Excalibur which on their hand for a second ago vanish.
"Yo… mind if I borrow this? I'll be sure to return it back later… and don't worry. I even pay for it… see ya."
[World Door!]
I quickly escaped using World Door while they still confused by it. I feel like a bad guy somehow but… oh well. Sometime it fun to be a bad guy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What is the meaning of this!?"
Xenovia slam the table as she shouts angrily. Well she can't blame her. The Excalibur had been stolen. Not by Grigory but by the Devil… or at least someone who has connection with the Devil. After everything had calm down and Xenovia and Irina cover their body with a spare clothed that their bring Rias suggest that they gather at the clubroom. Asia was busy tending to Kiba and Issei right now.
"To be honest I don't know. He isn't under my control so there nothing I can do. I bring you to Souna. That person is her familiar so she must some idea on what going on." Rias said trying to calm the situation down.
It wasn't enough with the Grigory if this event somehow being report to the church it can cause a war with the three factions. She rather settled things peacefully.
After Issei and Kiba had gain consciousness all of them decide to headed to Student council immediately. Rias have a feeling that this isn't just a small problem anymore.
Well, well, well… what the heck just happen!? I'm not even sure how it got like this. sigh… oh well next chapter will be focus on Saito vs Gremory group plus Xenovia and Irina. It seems I just turn Saito to a bad guy in this arc.
Oh well… there something I want to say first. Although this is ZNT and HSDXD crossover there will be other crossover in it. the next chapter many character from other Series will make an Cameo appearance. But of course that only for next chapter. I better stop talking now or else I give to many spoiler.
Hope you enjoy it and see ya next chapter.
