Chapter 25. The Great Battle!
Night before match with Diodora (Ise POV)
"Buha~"
In the changing room for the big bath located on the first basement floor in my house, I took a gulp of fruit-milk after having a bath. Ah, it tastes good! I drink it in a single sip while putting my hand on my hip!
But you know that this big bath is located on the first basement floor? I still can't believe in it. The Hyoudou residence which had a major renovation during Summer. It is six stories high, and has down to a third basement. The second basement floor has a pool. The girls also swim in it when they feel like it too. Seriously, it really is luxurious. Thanks to that, it has enough space for the girls to live in. My parents are happy as well, so it should be alright.
And there are all sorts of milk drinks inside the fridge located on the first basement floor, so we can drink it after having a bath.
According to Buchou, "Drinking a variety of milk after a bath is a must in Japan".
Buchou's obsession towards Japan is scary at times. By the way, I change the types of milk drink I drink after bathing everyday. Buchou is in the fruit-milk faction. Akeno-san, Asia, Koneko-chan are in the normal Milk-faction. And Xenovia is in the coffee Milk faction.
I had a bath after the training towards the upcoming game, so I feel refreshed. I started to become a training worm lately. I don't feel calm if I don't train. Working hard daily is my routine.
When I left the big bath room, the big hall which is across from the big bath room is titled with light. There is a big hall next to the big bath room on the first basement floor, so we can do film watching marathons and also do all sorts of training. I was training here just before too.
The door is opened a bit, so I check inside. Xenovia is in there wielding a practice purpose sword. She is wearing training wear and is wielding the sword seriously.
"…Ise."
"Yo. I wasn't trying to peek but the lights were on in this room so I happened to check inside."
I entered the room.
"Practicing?"
"Yeah, since the game is coming up."
"But, didn't you train quite a lot before dawn as well?"
Yes. Xenovia increased the amount of training as the game was drawing near daily. Even today she overworked for training, and it seems like she was being haunted by something. During the spar, even Kiba seemed like he was being overpowered by Xenovia's high spirit. But since she was rushing things, she created an opening and received a counter.
"I am… weaker than Kiba after all."
Xenovia says it with straight eyes.
Certainly. When we first met, Xenovia was stronger than Kiba. But the situation changed all of a sudden because Kiba's talent started to bloom after he attained Holy-demonic sword.
"Even on the video, Kiba showed that he could use Durandal better than me. –In terms of simple talents, Kiba has more talent than me."
Xenovia has cloudy eyes. I think there is a part inside her that is a bit jealous of Kiba.
"From my eyes, both you and Kiba are amazing."
Xenovia smiles at my words which don't even sound like I am cheering her.
"Thank you. But the thing I can't forgive the most….is myself who lost in the previous match without doing anything….. That's why I am training so I won't let my guard down anymore.."
…So it is about that. In the match against Sitri, Xenovia lost against Tsubaki-senpai who possess a counter-type Sacred Gear. In terms of power, Xenovia was superior. But the timing and compatibility between them was bad, so she lost against Shinra-senpai.
I also witnessed how scary a Technique-type can be when I looked at the video. They settled the match in places where pure power doesn't work, and it made me realise how broad the game could become. Well I do think we are super strong if we were to fight normally. Oh crap, this confidence could lead to our defeat.
"And also... When Kai visit me and Asia in party before..."
The word Kai caught my attention immediately and Xenovia continued
"He beat me... With single tap... Single touch to my back and I lose... I still remember our first fight when I come here... He even beat me and Irina both unscathed..."
Ah yes. I remember when Kai fight with Irina and Xenovia. It completely one sided fight. None of them manage to land hit to Kai, Kai totally defeat them both...
[As much I hate to admit it but your brother have the best talent I ever seen.. Not even a Legendary Hero had such talent like him...]
Even you also admit it eh Ddraig?
[I'm Dragon, and we respect power. Your brother strength unlike you who depend on brute power. He depend on technique, and he very good one too... Even Albion going to admit it.]
I see... So Kai even manage to gain respect from dragon huh? And Heavenly Dragon no less... I can't help but actually proud on him and yet.. Also sad... Sad because it mean I need work harder to catch up with him
"No matter how awesome a power you have, I realised that there are many ways for us to get defeated. Settling the match with pure power seems the most easiest to know though. But especially in the game, it would be a team battle, so rather than having one strong individual, we need to cooperate in a style of "Person A ability" + "Person B ability". The road to becoming a High-class devil sure is hard….."
I sat on the floor, and made a sigh. It truly is hard to get a promotion to a High-class devil.
"Do you want to become a Maou, Ise?"
"No, I never thought about things like that….. Why do you ask all of a sudden?"
"In the future, you will be going solo from Buchou right? To stand at a greater height."
"Yeah, that is my plan."
"Asia said she will be following you."
"Hmm? Aaah, yeah. We promised we will be together forever."
Yes... Before we appear on television Asia asked me to promise her that I will stay at her forever. She asked that because Kai never promise he will stay at Asia side forever... I can't help but had sad face that time so as her big brother I promised her that I will at her side and protect her
"Take me along with Asia as well."
!?
An unexpected situation. I never thought she would say that…
"Why do you want to come with me?"
When I ask, she answers with a big smile.
"It would be fun being with Ise."
I see. It's fun huh.
"Roger that. I will think about it."
"Yes, I hope you do positively."
I don't know any plan about the future, but building a business with Asia and Xenovia seems interesting. I was thinking while bending my neck, and Xenovia stops swinging her sword.
"Somehow, talking to you made the nervousness inside me disappear."
"Really?"
Xenovia nodded with bitter smile
"It the same thing like when I talk to Kai... Maybe it because you are his twin so I felt something familiar from you... Ise... Please be honest do you think Kai really hate us?"
I can't help but scowled hearing that
"Of course not! Vali also said that he didn't hate us..."
Xenovia hearing this blinked, once, twice
"The Hakuryuukou?"
"Yes... He said, Kai didn't hate us however he just didn't acknowledge us... Kai respect strength.. Like a proud warrior..."
Xenovia make perplexed face hearing this and rub her chin
"You already tell Asia about this?"
Eh?
"Err no. Why?"
I asked while blinked. Xenovia seem let out sigh of relieves at my question and rub her forehead
"Good then.."
"Good? What you mean by good?"
Xenovia eyes sharpened at my question
"It not like I didn't believe you about Kai, I really believe it after I see Diodora, however even if he didn't hate us still won't change the fact he are madman Ise."
!? What you mean by that?! I about to retort but Xenovia raise her hands and stop me
"Believe me I do miss Kai too. However remember what Vali said, his goal still won't change even if he acknowledge us someday. And when the time come we have to fight him..."
I fell silence at her words. True what Xenovia said, Kai goal is to create weapon and destroy the world, leaving only few people to spare in order to make them traumatized by war so they stop fighting each other...
Sure it sound can be created but the number of innocent that gone is...
"Then all we need to do is to get more stronger than Kai."
I said that to Xenovia simply and Xenovia eyes widened slightly
"If we stronger than him, we can beat him and destroy his weapon then give him some torture so he can forget his idea! Isn't it simple enough?"
Xenovia hearing my words seem speechless before she slowly chuckle and let out laugh
"You right... It really simple like that.. Farewell then.. We will increase our training... You also trained under Legendary Nature Warrior right?"
"Yes! I will try my best!"
Xenovia nodded with smile on her face and I must say it quite beauty!
"But we also need proper rest for tomorrow. I will go to sleep then... Thank you for your support Ise..."
Xenovia flash me once again her beauty smile before leaves
'He remind me so much to you Kai... Kai... I... I don't think I can't forget you that easy...' Xenovia thought sadly as she entering the house
Next day
"So all we need is pour this down in this tube?"
"That what he say..."
"Hmm... Well let see then, here we go..."
FLAAASHHH!
...
"Wow it work! It start to formed!"
"Indeed... Even I also surprised... But let stay focus, put the memory to her and quick swap her..."
"Ah? Right, right!"
Kai POV
This is the day...
Currently I was on my armor with Ophis on my side, she wearing her gothic lolita again. We are prepared to go to battlefield... As soon we arrive, we will arrive on warzone.. And dangerous one too...
"Ojou-chan you ready?" I asked and she nodded "Well... Time to go.." I summon magic circle and instantly we are teleported
...
When I open my eyes recovered from the lights made from the teleportation, we opened our eyes….. The place we arrived was a spacious place.
The place is lined up with thick pillars. The ground is made from…..rocks. We look around, and we see a big entrance of a shrine at far!
….Huge. It looks like those shrines that appear in Greek mythology. At first glance there are no broken parts, and it seems like it was just built.
...And we also surrounded by hundred peoples... Who fighting each other
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Cue sweatdrop on me
"Looks like I pick the wrong coordinate when I use this device.." I muttered as I look to the device that I use to teleport to this special place
"Kai... We not suppose to be here..." Ophis said and I nodded
"Indeed we aren't..." I said calmly
3
2
1
And-
"That! That Akai-me no Shinokishi!"
Oh great here we go...
"Kill him!"
With roar the fallen angels and devils from Alliance side charged to me and Ophis
I let out soft sigh then when they near I slowly open my eyes again, my sharingan morphed into EMS and
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
My Susanoo immediately formed and spinning, deliver multiple strike using it 4 hands to everyone who charged to me
"What the!?"
"What the hell is that?!"
"Spectral warrior?!"
"I'm sorry for my ignorant Ophis-sama. Let we go to more fitting place..." I said as I settle the coordinate in the device again while my Susanoo blocking many spears of lights and demonic energy that shoot to me
"Hai..." Ophis said as she hold my arm. I then use my Susanoo to raise it 4 hands before smash it to the ground creating earthquake around me plus dust and smoke
After done setting the coordinate I quickly teleported myself with Ophis again quickly
Wew, that was close
We then teleported to the corner of field.
"So... What your opinion Kai?" Ophis asked me
"I think if the plan work. Then it will be good... However the chance are drop 40% due to Diodora using your snake in Rating Game..." I paused and scowl
"Then what you want me to do?" She asked
"This plan maybe going to fail Ojou-sama. But at least we need one leader to survive after this, I heard the Asmodeus and Beelzebub also come right? We need one of them alive.."
"Why? Why can't we save them both?"
I sighed aloud and motioned to the battle with my finger
"These people... Need to be teach a lesson... They are rebellious to you... Let them be in Chaos for moment..." I said sternly and its true. These devils are too much arrogant, a little punishment will be good for them
"I see... You make a point..." Ophis agreed and I nodded
For few moment we watch the battle. I expand my sensor ability to sense the battlefield...
Hmmm there few familiar aura...
Eh is that Odin? Wow his aura is very strong! As expected from Chief God... Hmm and...
What this? There few aura that approach us? And they are high-class devil by their aura
"So here you are..."
Ophis and I turn to see 6 devils approaching us.. And all of them high-class
"What is it? Why you here?" I asked and the devil scoffed
"Ophis... We have proposal for you.. If we kill this guy does it mean we can become your bodyguard?" One high-class devil with black hair asked Ophis. I hearing this narrowed my eyes
"I see... You fools never learn do you? Even we are on middle of battlefield, you still can't accept that I better than you..." I said calmly while Ophis merely staring
"Shut your mouth filthy human! You didn't deserve to talk to us!" He sneered to me and I sighed inwardly.
Yep, high-class devil, high-class strength, high-class ego, high-class insanity, to be expected. I then step forward and unsheath Frostmourne
"Ophis-sama this what I mean by they need to be teached lesson. They just don't know their places..." I said coldly as Frostmourne let out evil aura that make the devil flinched for moment
"Ha! Don't be afraid guys! All his powers is only on his eyes!" The black haired high-class devil scoffed and all of them summon numerous magic circle there maybe dozens of them, wew if that all hit me. I will be dead
Ophis will be okay. Now all I need is
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
When they about to hit me. I use Kawarimi simply to swapped place with one of high-class devils in middle before I take few step back from them so they won't notice me
When the smoke clear there no trace of the devils that I swapped with
"Ha! I knew he was nothing!" The black haired devil before laughed
"Indeed he turn to nothing..." I said calmly make they had wide eyes before turn and see me behind them all
"What?! Where Axis?" He demanded with shock and I simply raise Frostmourne
"Dead. So all of you..." I said before manipulate the ice on Frostmourne and turn it into skull head that charged to them
Seeing this they flying and dodge the attack unfortunately one of them not lucky and get crushed by ice cocytus and got freeze immediately
I create dozens of holy swords to the one who fly and shoot them with it. The dodge the attack and I simply using Kawarimi again, then swapped with the sword I shoot before appear behind one of them then stab him using Frostmourne on head killing him instantly
"3 down, 3 more to go..." I said as I pull out the head from Frostmourne and toss the corpse to the ground
The 3 devils growled before regrouped and I narrowed my eyes
"Going to retreat?" I asked and they scoffed
"Kill him!" The black haired one commanded and they shoot giant demonic energy to me. I simply summon Susanoo ribcage and protect myself. Secretly I use chakra string on several swords that they dodge before and aimed to behind them silently
"What the heck is that?!" The black haired yelled in shock and while they shocked I waste no time as I pull my hand and
Stab! Stab! Stab!
[Cough!]
The three of them got swords stabbed on their chest. And 2 of them slowly fall to the ground while the black haired one still manage to floating but shock clearly on their faces
"I-Impossible!" He coughed
I float to him slowly and stab Frostmourne on his stomach with Sharingan still active though I still not in Senjutsu mode
"Having knowledge of my power doesn't mean you can defeat me, pest. Know your place." I declared coldly before swing Frostmorune upward, slashing him into two before he turned into dust
I then turn and see below the corpses of devil except the one I stab with Frostmourne already turned into dust. I float back to the ground slowly and landed on Ophis side
"Score?" I asked and she pull out paper with number 7 written on it "Only 7?"
"You using Susanoo..."
"Ah right. Well I think that really big minus.." I agreed before I turn my head to certain Shrine direction
I can tell Nii-san and everyone is in there... I know my plan almost didn't have any hole but... The almost part is...
Please be save everyone...
Later (Azazel POV)
I have taken care of quite a number of devils from the Old-Maou faction in the Rating Game field. The rest of them should be easily taken care of by my subordinates.
I left the rest to my subordinates and flew up the sky heading towards to a certain situation.
The jewel which has Fafnir residing in it is reacting towards this way.
When I immediately teleported here with Odin's power along with my subordinate, the jewel inside my stomach. I saw 2 persons at the corner of the field. The jewel increases its brightness.
I then stood in front of those 2 persons. …A little girl who has her black hair down till her hips. She is wearing a black one-piece, and you can see her thin limbs. The little girl has a graceful face, but she is looking at the centre of the field which has many shrines lined up...
Standing on her side is a armored figure... And from it figure, clearly whoever inside that armor was not friend.. The armor design is demonic in appearance with several spikes protruding from various parts of the body and black-gray cape on his back... I must say it quite scary...
I take it from the appearance the armored figure was a man. He hold gray-silver bastard sword with some goat skull in middle of it hilt with it edge glowing blue and also there few rune symbol written on it... The pure evil and malice aura that sword radiate... It no mistake, that sword... If that sword is living thing, then clearly it was stronger than Satan himself...
But that not what caught my attention...
The one that caught my attention was his eyes. It was crimson red with strange black pattern...
So this Kai appearance eh? And that sword is Frostmourne?
Heh, with Frostmourne and such scary armor no wonder he been called Akai-me no Shinokishi (Red Eyed Death Knight)
I sharpen my eyes and then say to them.
"I never expected for you to come here personally. And you even bring bodyguard with you."
The girl and Kai reacts to my voice and then looks at me. Kai merely narrowed his eyes while the girl laughs lightly.
"Azazel. It has been a while."
"Didn't you have the appearance of an old person before? Now you have the appearance of a Bishoujo-sama, you definitely have my respect. What are you plotting. Ophis."
Yes, she is the Uroboros Dragon, Ophis! The boss of the Khaos Brigade! No mistake about it. The creepy aura which you cannot describe only belongs to Ophis. The last time I met her, she was in the form of an old-man, but this time she has the appearance of a black haired girl. Well to her, appearance is only a decoration. She can change as much as she wants.
If she came here personally, then that means this terror is that much more important to her. Why Kai didn't told me she will come?
"Observing. Just that only."
"Sight seeing from such a good place aye….. But for the Boss to appear huh. Will the World be peaceful if I defeat you here?"
I said it with a bitter smile while pointing my spear of light at her. Kai immediately about to raise his sword and step in front of Ophis, wow so you really become her bodyguard eh?
"You won't touch her Azazel..."
He declared boldly, I about to reply but Ophis held Kai arm and she shook her head.
"Impossible. Azazel can't defeat me."
She said it clearly. Like I thought. I won't be able to defeat her by myself. I know that. But it's certain that the Khaos Brigade will get critical damage if I defeat her here.
"Then how about with the two of us?"
The one who came down while flapping his wings is…an enormous dragon!
"Tannin!"
The former Dragon-king Tannin! This guy also was involved in eliminating the Old-Maou faction within the game field, but it seems he came here after he finished his work. Tannin glares at Ophis and Kai with his big eyes. I can tell when he see Kai his eyes filled with anger, it seem he still mad about Fafnir clone what he named? Ah yes Saphiron
"The young devils are betting their future, and they are standing on the battlefield. I don't like the fact that you came to interfere in it! For you, who didn't take any interest in the world to become the boss of the terrorists!? What made you become like that!"
I also nod at Tannin's opinion though I already knew what her reason but if I didn't asked, Tannin will get suspicious, we can't let Kai get caught now didn't we? So I asked
"Killing time. Don't tell me such a dull reason like that. Because of your actions, there are casualties in each area."
Yeah, since she stood on the top of the terrorists, she lent her power to all types of dangerous guys, and it brought casualties to each of the factions. The number of people getting killed increases day by day. It's so serious that we can't ignore it anymore.
Ophis didn't even change her expression, she answer it bluntly
"The silent World."
…
For a moment there silence and I can tell Tannin didn't understand so he asked
"Silent World?"
Then Ophis looks at us straight and says it again.
"I want to return to the dimensional gap, and attain silence. That is the only reason."
As expected. It was same just like what Kai report to me. The dimensional gap. To make it simple, the human World and the Underworld, the human World and the Heaven, the dimensional wall which exists between them. The boundary which separates the World. Nothing exists there and it is called "The world of nothingness". I knew she was born there... I can't help but saying
"….I would laugh because your reason is being homesick, but the dimensional gap huh. If I remember, over there at the dimensional gap….."
Ophis nods at my words.
"Yes, Great Red is there."
Right now, the dimensional gap is in the control of that guy. I see. Just like what Kai say, Ophis wants to get rid of him so she can return to the dimensional gap. The requirement to get rid of Great Red was the reason why she placed herself with the devils from the Khaos Brigade and other dangerous guys from the different factions.
Now I think again, so that's why Vali also joining. His goal after all is same just like Ophis
When my mind was trying to make up a conclusion, a magic-circle appears next to Ophis, and someone teleports here. The one who appeared is a man wearing the clothes of a noble. That guy bows at me, and puts on a smile.
"It is my first time meeting you. I am the one who carries the blood of the true Asmodeus. Creuserey Asmodeus. I came here to ask you whom are the Governor of fallen-angels for a battle as I am the member of the True-Maou faction of the Khaos Brigade."
…..Hahahaha, look what we have here…. It's the appearance of one of the masterminds. I said it while scratching my head.
"Looks like the Asmodeus of the Old-Maou faction showed himself."
DON!
Before I confirm his identity, he had the demonic-aura around him running through his body. The colour is deep black. So this guy also received Ophis's power.
"It's not the "Old"! I am the blood inheritor of the True-Maou! I will avenge Cattleya Leviathan right here!"
Is he Cattleya's man or something. Well it doesn't matter. If I can defeat the mastermind of this terror, then I can't ask for anything more. So I will have myself accept his challenge.
"Fine then. Tannin. What will you do?"
"I'm not a rude guy who would interfere in a one on one. I will have myself watch over Ophis and that brat."
This guy really is a warrior. It's a waste having him as a dragon.
"I leave it to you. It has got chaotic, but it's about time my students reached Diodora's place safely."
I slip that out of my mouth, but Ophis shakes her head when she heard that.
"I also gave my snake to Diodora Astaroth. If you consume it, your power increases drastically. Defeating him won't be easy."
"Hahahahahahahhahahahahaha!"
I laughed out loud at what Ophis just said. She doesn't know! You really don't understand Ophis!
"Why laugh?"
I said it to Ophis who tilts her head.
"Snake huh. That seems powerful. But unfortunately, that won't be enough."
"Why? My snake, it grants enormous power if you consume it."
"Even so, that won't be enough. In the game before, due to the rules, he couldn't use his power completely."
The training with Tannin, how serious that is, Diodora Astaroth will find that out with his own body. Dragon king as his training partner. Even if he is the former dragon king, a legendary dragon that is still active was chasing around a single brat. Even though he held back, you would be dead normally. Dying in the process would have been normal.
But, he endured it. He returned alive, and make his Balance Breaker stronger! You guys still don't understand what that means!
I took out Fafnir's jewel, and made a stance with the artificial Sacred Gear.
"Now, Fafnir. I will have you tag along with me. Our opponent is Cruzerey Asmodeus! Let's go, Balance Break!"
Next moment, I was covered with golden plate-armour. Ise, there is nothing which is restraining you here now.
So rampage!
When I was trying to show off like that, a magic circle intrudes us. That crest is….. I see. So you will come out personally. And the one who appears from the magic circle is the Crimson haired King, Sirzechs.
"Sirzechs, why did you come?"
He narrows his eyes to my question.
"For this plan I got my little sister involved in the political matters of us adults. So I need to come forward as well. I thought it would be bad if I leave everything to Azazel every time. I want to persuade Cruzerey. If I can't even do that, then I won't be able to face my sister."
Man, this guy really is…..
"…..You are such a Mr. Nice guy. You know it will be a waste?"
"Even so, I wanted to ask them directly as the current King of the devils."
I pulled away my spear. The moment he saw Sirzechs, Cruzerey's expression turns to that of rage.
"….Sirzechs! The hated fake existence! To appear here personally! Because of you… Because of you guys, we….!"
Look. This is the reality. To them, your existence is the one they hate the most.
"Cruzerey. Can you lower your weapon down? If it is now, I can still prepare for negotiation. For having the descendant of the previous Maou be further away from the spot light, and drove them to the corner of the Underworld. Even now I think "Maybe there was another way?" at times. I want to prepare a negotiation with the descendant of a former Maou. More than that, I would like you to talk to the current Maou Asmodeus. Falbium."
Sirzechs's words are polite. That's why it ticked off Cruzerey instead.
It's useless, Sirzechs... To begin with, your words as the current Maou won't reach these guys. You are naïve. Cruzerey then gets enraged.
"Don't speak nonsense! Not only the fallen-angels, but you have allied with the angels, so I don't want to hear you who have become a filth talk about devils! Not just that, but are you telling me to talk to the impostor!? That is enough with your nonsense!"
I made a sigh and said it to Cruzerey.
"Like you are in the position to say that. You guys, the Khaos Brigade, have the dangerous heretics of the Three-Great-Powers gathered."
He makes a smile.
"We are not cooperating. We are using them. The hated fallen-angels and angels are beings who are only a tool that we use for us devils. Understanding each other? Peace? No! We, the Maou, are the ones who have to become the Kings of the World! By using Ophis's power we will destroy the world, and create a new World of devils! For that, you impostorous Maou are in our way!"
Ah, this is bad. It's the mind of bosses of grunts that comes up in books. The devils are already in danger of continuing their kind already, so what are they thinking…..?
Sirzechs. You might have mixed feelings, but you are doing a better job as a King you know? Because Old-Maou were like these guys, the devils were heading to the path of self destruction. Their thoughts. Their beliefs. They do not match. The gap between both sides is big, and it will never get fixed. Sirzechs then says it with sad eyes.
"Cruzerey. I just want to protect the seeds of devils. I need to protect the civilians, or else our kind will not prosper. I don't care whether you call me naïve. I want to lead the children with the future. –We don't need War in the current Underworld."
"Naïve! More than that it is a foolish reason! Do you think that will be the end of devils!? Devils steal the souls of humans, we lure them to hell, and we exist to eliminate God and angels! There is no need for negotiation anymore! Sirzechs! The fake King with the fake kindness! A Lucifer! A Maou! They are a being which annihilates everything! Even though you have the power of destruction, why don't you use it against the fallen-angel beside you!? Like I thought, you don't have the right to call yourself a Maou! I, Cruzerey Asmodeus, who am the true Maou will annihilate you!"
That was the end of Sirzechs who is the current Maou and the descendant of the Old-Maou. Sirzechs then speaks to Ophis.
"…..Ophis. Is a negotiation with you also impossible?"
"Only if you consume my snake, and make an oath to me. One more thing. Hand over the ownership of the dimensional gap around the Underworld. I will take all of it."
Obedience and closure of the Underworld huh.
There is no way a Maou who carries the Underworld on his back will accept that easily. Sirzechs looks up and closes his eyes. When he opens his eyes…. His eyes are filled with coldness which gives me chills. After confirming that, Cruzerey distances himself and creates large blocks of demonic-powers in both of his hands.
"Yes! That's it! That is easier to understand, Sirzechs!"
Cruzerey was hoping for this the whole time. ….Sirzechs, there was no way that your words would have reached him from the beginning. Even so, you still wanted to talk to him huh. Your thoughts. And the thoughts of the Underworld that is.
Sirzechs puts his right hand forward, and then he pointed it up. Demonic-powers were gathering there. Sirzechs's demonic-power starts to give an irregular aura. –The power of destruction. Sirzechs then says it with a strong tone.
"Cruzerey, I will eliminate anyone who becomes a threat to the Underworld as a Maou."
"You! Don't you dare use the name Maou!"
Cruzerey releases huge demonic-powers from both his hands. Sirzechs doesn't flinch, and changed the demonic-powers in his palms to several smaller spheres and then he shot them forward.
BANG! GUUUUUN!
Cruzerey's demonic-power perishes after it touches Sirzech's demonic-power as if it was ground away. The demonic-power released by Sirzechs moves as if it has its own mind and it eliminates Cruzerey's attack. Sirzechs himself dodges or uses defensive spells for the attacks which couldn't be eliminated. One of the spheres of power of destruction goes into Cruzerey's mouth.
DON!
Cruzerey swells up once. When it calms down, at the same time his demonic-powers decrease drastically! Did Sirzechs get rid of the snake Cruzerey consumed?
Sirzechs then says it.
"Rune the Extinct. I got rid of Ophis's snake in your stomach. –With this you won't be able to fight with enormous power."
By having the snake, which is the base of his power up, destroyed, his confidence from earlier disappears and now he looks impatient. Sirzechs attack. It's my first time seeing it.
One of the reasons why Sirzechs was chosen as a Maou. Overwhelming power of destruction. It eliminates everything it touches. It doesn't even leave a trace. Absolute destruction. Even if it was small, it has outrageous power. He didn't overuse the absolute power of destruction, he didn't even increase its mass, he kept it in a small size, and he is able to control several of them like his own limbs. A technique which requires delicate control and a great level of talent. Sirzechs has those.
"Damn you! Just like you! And just like Vali! Why do those who carry the name of "Lucifer" are blessed with powers, yet both of you clash with us!?"
Cruzerey tries to release more shots while cursing.
KUUBAN!
But one of the spheres touches Cruzerey's stomach, and it takes away his whole stomach. Even if small, the power of destruction has enough power. The moment it touches it, it eliminates everything in its surroundings.
"…..W-Why…. Why does the real one have to lose against the impostor…"
While having blood coming from his mouth, Cruzerey sheds tears of blood. Sirzechs closes his eyes and swings his arm to the side slowly.
That moment, Cruzerey's whole body was eaten away by several spheres floating in the sky.
Ophis and Kai seeing this seem calm and didn't care but suddenly Kai whispered something to Ophis ear
Ophis turn to Kai with blank face before she turn to us and
-!?
Suddenly a black barrier formed around us and caging me, Tannin and Sirzechs!
"What the!"
Tannin growled seeing this and Sirzechs narrowed his eyes
"What are you doing?"
I asked and Kai the one who answer it
"As you can see, you just killed one of our faction leader. If there no leader in Satan faction then it will be troublesome and chaos will erupted in Satan faction. We can't have that now aren't we? I will leave to help Diodora just in case he failed but I can't have you three interfere. So stay here for moment."
I see, so that your plan.. You already started your plan eh Kai? I understand
Tannin growled and shoot huge fireball to the barrier but it deflected to us! We cover ourselves with defensive magic in order to not get hurt
"It useless, Ophis-sama barrier will deflect anything. Not even combined three of you will able to break it... Now I had something to do.. Until meet again, Tannin, Azazel, Sirzechs.."
Sirzechs narrowed his eyebrow, sure he knew what Kai plan but he have to play along so he spoke in ice tone
"Kai. If you dare to touch my sister hair not even Ophis will save you from me..."
Ooohh you can be quite player eh Sirzechs? Kai merely grunted before he fly leaving us
"Coward! Get back here and fight us!"
Tannin growled angrily and he shoot another blaze ball only to be deflected again. As expected the difference between Ophis and us is very big
Kai hopefully your plan will success
Meanwhile with Kai
I using Raiton no Yoroi and my Senjutsu mode already active and I add chakra to my cape instead magic making me fly more fast
Please made it! I already sense Shalba on their way to there! Please! Please made it!
I made it to the Shrine roof. I can't help but smile thought I breath heavily, I calm my breath for moment before close my eyes to calm myself and deactivated my Senjutsu mode in order to save my chakra. After that, I use Frostmourne to make hole and quickly take glance to inside through it... Good! They just about to fight!
I secretly make barrier on this room, a transparent barrier made from Senjutsu, no one will notice this except another Senjutsu user... And the only Senjutsu user is Koneko who now under my genjutsu unconsciously
I then see the battle where Nii-san clearly overwhelmed Diodora and trashing him
Fufufu you growing strong Nii-san, really strong... It really make me happy seeing you already this strong
I can't help but smirk evilly at the sight of Diodora being beaten by Nii-san and fear on his eyes. Fufufu I really enjoying it, honestly
I continue to watch where Nii-san try to destroy the device that made from Dimensional Lost. But it clearly useless
I narrowed my eyes seeing this. If I recall Dimensional Lost also the one that trapped me when I fight against Hero Faction.. That Sacred Gear really troublesome, it won't usefull in attack however in defense is another case...
It good... Pretty damn good! Now I know why it been called Longinus
I then notice Kiba began questioned Diodora and Nii-san punch the floor as if frustrated. I sighed a bit seeing this, I will need to research more about Dimensional Lost...
I blinked when see jewel on Nii-san armor glowing make my eyes widened when sense the amount power he radiated
What he gonna do?! He going to destroy Asia along with that device?!
But to my shock what happen next will be forever burned on my mind... And it not just because I use Sharingan
He! He USING DRESS BREAK TO ASIA!
I growled angrily seeing this! Nii-san! I'm soo pummeling you when we fight again! Trust me it will be painfull and it will be deadly!
Though I can't deny it was genius idea but... Ughh still, really? How can you destroy the device that made from Longinus using Dress Break!?
Ughh oh well *sigh* anyway it can't be helped, pervert will always be pervert... Though it was good idea, maybe it because you use Boosted Gear power. Well after all it not surprising to see Longinus destroyed by another Longinus
!?
Oh shit Shalba is here! He just entering my barrier! Shit! Oh shit! Nii-san quick leave from there!
I then sense a large amount of magic directed to Asia! Seeing this I quickly use Space Manipulation that thankfully I manage to master though I can't warp person so far but if this close I think I can do it
I warp Asia and Diodora who inside the Shrine to my location
"Huh?" Asia who just arrive blinked along with Diodora
"What the?"
Before Diodora able to talk again I stab his shoulder with Frostmourne make him screamed and I grab his throat before lift him up
"Hello Diodora.." I said with eye smirk and his eyes widened
"What?! Why you here?!" He asked and I smirked
"Nothing much... Except to give you hell..." I said evilly and he become pale
"W-What are you talking about?! I'm at your side moron!" He growled and I laughed evilly
"Me? Your side? Never... Diodora, for your crime to the nun your corrupt. I make sure you will scream in agony..." I said with menace tone before my eyes morphed into EMS "Tsukuyomi!"
(A/N: Warning a little gore in here)
Tsukuyomi realm
We then transported in Tsukyomi world, where Diodora now being crucified on wood in front of me
"What? Where is this?! Where everyone?" He asked and panic start to appear on his voice
"Fufufu. This is my realm. In here I'm God among Gods... Now... Let begin the torture shall we?" I asked as dozens of my clones appear and we holding sword
"W-What? What-GGGYYYYAGGGGHHHH!" He screamed when I began to stab his body using sword before I hummed and tap my chin
Ah right I can use that punishment. I want to test it to living being ever since I was Leonard Ang
"You know? I think this won't be enough.." I said to Diodora who panted heavily as his stabbed wound got healed.
Before he can reply, I stab sword to his mouth prevent him from talking and make him scream more. I then brought out seven senbon and pinned him in, one in each ankle, knee and wrists and one more in his neck as he screamed in pain, the senbon piercing his nerves.
Kukuku I'm going to enjoying this
"Did you know? I already check what the different between Human and Devil anatomy body. Except for part you are stronger and had more demonic energy, your body is all same, the composition is same... And here is the good part.." I smiled evilly to him while pressing my sword deepened to his mouth make his eyes rolled up but he still conscious "Did you know that 58 - 70 % human body made from water? I just struck that senbon to your nerve so.."
I then rise my hand and active lightning chakra on my hand and he become pale more with his eyes become wide in fear
"Enjoy..." I said before struck him using lightning chakra through the senbon
"GGUGGGYAAAAUUGGHHGGGAAGGGJHHJHCSHY."
He start to rambling randomly and whenever he scream he will feel pain due to sword on his mouth
I really enjoying torturing him like this. This scum didn't deserve any mercy! Die you mongrel! I keep continue it for a long time and whenever he was close to giving up, I would flood his nerves with lightning chakra and he was forced to scream cutting off his tries. I wouldn't even let him fall unconscious by stimulating the senbon lodged in his neck and jump-starting his brain.
Few hours or don't know how long I stopped and let all his wound healed
"Its... Is it over?" He asked in hopeful tone but I grab his hair and lift his face to meet me
"No... We still had 71 hours 58 minutes 59 seconds to go..." I said with evil smirk and his eyes widened before I struck him with lightning again
Dead...
Diodora was dead now...
I got back in reality and it only take 5 seconds in real world. I torture his mind until his brain explode in pain. Right now just like what I want. His brain already turned into puddle due to too much pain on his nerve
I throw his corpse to the ground before using Frostmourne and stab him then Frostmourne gladly eat his body
I turn to Asia who trembled
"K-Kai-san?" She called me and I smiled before place my hand on her head
"Your job is done Asia..." I said and she blinked
"Eh?"
At that moment suddenly 'Asia' in front of me melted into puddle of blood, leaving only glowing orb in her place
...
Confused?
Heh... You should be...
My plan are simple... Since I knew Diodora after Asia then all I need to do is to replace the real Asia with the fake one... I make Chi Bunshin of Asia using her nature energy, blood and chakra that I take from her yesterday when I put her under genjutsu
Of course the Old Satan faction that didn't have any Senjutsu master won't notice something strange on her but even if they notice it won't change much since this clone also had Twilight Healing but it won't affective like the real one
So even if the device that Khaos Brigade manage to Reverse Asia healing magic. It won't be enough to kill Maou, hurt them? Yes but not going to fatal and threat their life
The only one who can notice this is only Koneko... That's why I put her under genjutsu. I put her in genjutsu similar like Obito to Yagura.
Then where the real Asia? She with Azazel now and sleep due to medicine that Azazel drug to her and this glowing orb in front of me is memory of Asia blood clone. Of course it will need to be modified since she seeing me.
I grab the orb and put it to Dimensional Pocket so I can give it to Azazel later
Suddenly I feel an enormous aura from the room and I freezed and the Shrine shook violently! What the?!
This aura! It even surpassed Satan-class! No! It near God class! And it still growing! What the hell!?
I quickly look back to to the room and my eyes widened seeing the scene
Oh shit! This what I didn't count in!
Earlier after Diodora and Asia got teleported (Kiba POV)
We didn't know what happened for a moment. No, even now I still don't know what happened.
Ise-kun defeated Diodora Astaroth and destroyed the device made by a Longinus, and we rescued Asia-san safely. I, Kiba Yuuto, and the group were trying to leave this place.
Then that moment, Asia-san disappeared inside a bright light... Not just that but Diodora also gone
….What just happened?
"An object made from a Longinus perishes from the attack of a Longinus, huh. Damn Mist-user, he eased up. It's necessary to readjust the plan."
An unfamiliar voice. When I looked at the direction it came from, an unfamiliar man was floating in the sky. He's wearing light armour that had a cape on it.
…What is this amount of aura which feels like it froze the core of my body…..
Buchou then asks that man.
"…Who are you?"
"It's my first time meeting you, sister of the annoying fake Maou. My name is Shalba Beelzebub. The true successor of the Great True Maou Beelzebub. I'm different from the relative of the fake one you fought earlier. Diodora Astaroth, that boy in the match against Agares, used Ophis's snake without my authorisation and had the enemy predict our plan. He are very foolish indeed but it seem I accidentally sended him along with that nun."
Old Beelzebub!
At a time like this! Seems like the mastermind of this terror that Azazel-sensei mentioned has showed himself….
I then saw a unfamiliar device on Shalba's arm.
….Is that the source which created the light?
Then Asia-san has really… It looks like everyone else realised it too. Xenovia's body trembles with rage.
"Now, sister of Sirzechs. It may be sudden, but I will have you die here. The reason is simple. That is to destroy every blood relative of the current Maou."
Shalba says it with a cold voice. His eyes are also filled with hatred. He must have a huge hatred towards the current Maou. Authority and nobility, and the seat of Maou was taken away from him, and they were pushed away to the end of the Underworld so their hatred must be very deep.
"So you mean to kill Glasya-Labolas, Astaroth, and us, the Gremory."
Shalba narrows his eyes with Buchou's words.
"That is correct. It is simply displeasing. We, the true successors, to be called the "Old" by you people, the relatives of the current Maou, and it is something very hard to endure."
Shalba made a sigh.
"Our plan ends with this. It is our defeat. I never thought that a Boosted Gear, a mid-tier Longinus, would win against the Dimension Lost, a high-tier Longinus. I can only say that this was something we didn't anticipate. Well, we got significant results for future terrorism, so I have to be satisfied with it. Cruzerey died but it won't be a problem. As long as I'm active, we can still progress even without Vali. The True Beelzebub is great. Now, as my souvenir while returning…. Sirzechs's sister, I will have you dead."
"You don't challenge the current Maou directly, but kill their relatives, what cowardice!"
"That's alright. I will kill the family of the current Maou first. It won't mean a thing if we don't have them taste despair."
"Scum! Most of all, the crime for killing Asia! I absolutely won't forgive you!"
Buchou rages, and she increases the red aura around her body to the limit. Akeno-san also puts an angry expression, and she started to wear the holy lightning on her whole body. I also don't plan to forgive him! Asia-san…was finally able to conclude with her whole past! She was finally able to resume with her current happiness!
And the one in front of us took her away from us! The crime for killing our important comrade! He won't be able to repent even with the cost of his life, but I will have this terrorist die right here!
"Asia? Asia?"
-!
Ise-kun calls for Asia-san while walking unsteadily on his foot.
"Asia? Where did you go? Hey, let's go. We are going home. Dad and Mum are waiting. I-If you hide, then we won't be able to go home. Hahaha, Asia sure likes to play around."
Ise-kun…starts to look around for Asia-san. While walking weakly on his foot…..
"Asia? Let's go home. Now, there is no one here anymore who would bully you Asia. Even if there was, I would beat them up! So let's go back. Asia, we still have to do the three-legged race for the sports festival. I sure Kai also going to come and watch us he even going to jealous seeing us…"
I wasn't able to look at him. He even start to ranting impossible thing
Seeing that, Koneko-chan and Gasper-kun started crying. Akeno-san also looks away, and tears are flowing out from her eyes. Buchou is hugging Ise-kun gently.
I also couldn't stop the thing coming out from my eyes…
"Buchou, I can't find Asia. Even though we are finally able to go home. We still need to hide under the basement Sensei told us. But if Asia isn't here….. …D-Dad and Mum said Asia was their daughter. Asia also said Dad and Mum are like her real parents as well….. She is my little sister…. She is our important family…"
Ise-kun says it with an emotionless face, and Buchou gently strokes Ise-kun's cheek.
"…I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you! I will cut you! I will cut you up and kill you!"
Xenovia slashes at Shalba with Durandal and Ascalon while shouting!
"Futile."
GUUN!
Shalba reflects the two holy swords with a defence barrier, and shot a demonic-power bullet to her stomach!
DON!
Xenovia falls on the floor. The holy-swords were also pushed away and it stabs into the floor.
"…..Return Asia….. …..She is…..my friend….! …..She is my kind friend… She was kinder than anyone….! Why…!"
Even though Xenovia was slammed to the ground, she is trying to find the holy-sword which is away from her, and then grips onto it. Shalba then says it to Ise-kun.
"Vulgar reincarnated devil and the dragon which is the same as garbage. The princess of Gremory seriously has bad taste indeed. That girl disappeared beyond to the dimension. Her body should have perished by now. –It means, she died."
Then Ise-kun's gaze locked onto Shalba, who is floating.
Like that, he continues to look at him. He looks bizarre. He continues to look at Shalba emotionlessly.
[Rias Gremory, leave this place at once. If you don't want to die, then it would be better to leave here immediately.]
Ddraig's voice. He emitted a sound, so even we can hear him. Leave? What does he mean? Buchou also put on a puzzled face like me. Ddraig then directed his voice to Shalba.
[The devil over there. Shalba was your name, right?]
Ise-kun pushes Buchou away, and stands up.
[-You…]
Ise-kun heads towards Shalba, while walking like a ghoul. When he went underneath Shalba, Ddraig's voice comes out from Ise-kun's mouth! His sound doesn't have a slight emotion that it gives chills to my body.
[Made the wrong choice.]
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
The shrine shook violently, and Ise-kun starts to emit a blood-like red aura! That aura starts to rise, and it gets bigger. It started to dye the whole area inside the shrine red.
I can understand from the quality of the aura I can feel with my skin! That aura….is dangerous! From Ise-kun's mouth, a curse-like chant is emitted. The voice isn't just that of Ise-kun. Young. Old. Male. Female. A creepy sound which is mixed with voices of several people.
[I, who is about to awaken…]
{It started.} {Looks like it will start.}
[Am the Heavenly Dragon that has stolen the principles of domination from God….]
{It was always like that, no matter what.} {That's not right; it was like that every time.}
[I laugh at the "infinite", and I grieve at the "dream"….]
{The one the World seeks….} {The one the World rejects...}
[I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination…]
{It was always power.} {It was always love.}
{{{{You guys choose destruction no matter how many times!}}}}
Ise-kun's armour starts to change…. It became more sharp, and it grew large wings. From both hands and feet, claw-like things appeared. On the helm, many horn-like things appeared.
That appearance is a dragon itself.
And then, from all the jewels in its body, a mixed scream like voice of the old, the young, man, and woman is emitted!
" " " " " " " And I shall sink you to the depths of crimson purgatory!" " " " " " "
[Juggernaut Drive!]
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON….
Ise-kun's surroundings were blown away! The floor! The wall! The ceiling! All of that is destroyed by the blood-like red aura emitted from Ise-kun's armour!
"Gugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Ise-kun makes a beast-like roar and stands with his four limbs at the spot while moving his wings!
CUT!
The sound of the wind! So fast! I couldn't follow it with my eye…
"Nggggggggh!"
I heard Shalba's scream. When I turned around, Ise-kun who turned into a miniature dragon is gnawing on Shalba's shoulder. A mouth-like thing appeared on his helm, so he must have bitten using that fang.
Munch Munch Munch Munch…
The sound of flesh getting torn apart.
"Damn you!"
Shalba creates a light with his right arm and tries to release it towards Ise-kun. But from one of the jewels, a dragon arm covered in red scales appears, and stops Shalba's right arm.
Then from another jewel, a blade appears and cuts off Shalba's right arm!
"Guu!"
Shalba shows an expression of pain! His blood spreads around the floor of the shrine!
Gunch!
While making a creepy sound, Ise-kun bites off Shalba's arm, and descended to the floor.
When he comes down with his limbs, he spits out the flesh from Shalba's shoulder. The red armour mixes with Shalba's blood, and it was giving off a creepy brilliance.
"Gegogyuuga-gyhugohaaa! Guooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
He…has already lost the voice of a human….. On all of the jewels which are shining, either a dragon arm or blade grows out from it, and it started to turn into a shape which has lost the form of a human.
"Don't screw around with me!"
The enraged Shalba who descended to the ground releases an attack of light with his remaining left arm!
Then Sekiryuutei's wing…..glowed with light! It looks like that of Hakuryuukou's wing! The moment Shalba's pulse of light was about to hit…..
[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!]
That sound echoes, and the pulse of light halved….. And halved again! It didn't know when to stop halving and Shalba's attack became so weak that it was like penlight.
This is…The power of Hakuryuukou that Ise-kun stole before! He can even use it at this high level!
"Vali's power! Damn you! How many times do you have to stand in my way! Valiiiiiii!"
Shalba roars, but instead of releasing a light, this time it was the pulse of demonic power! Huge! Enormous amount of aura goes toward Ise-kun!
SLIDE!
Ise-kun moved its direction just by flapping his wings. -! He fended of such a powerful attack with just that!? But does Shalba Beelzebub hold a grudge against Vali? The descendant of Old Beelzebub and Old Lucifer. Maybe due to their standing point, there must be a rift.
Then I realised the change in Ise-kun. The mouth on the helm of Sekiryuutei opened wide! A laser cannon thing appears from inside it. Then a single laser!
BANG!
!? An attack!?
Before Ise-kun able to shoot laser to Shalba he suddenly got striked by black lightning and he crashed away
A single figure suddenly appear in front Shalba with sword on his hand
!? That person
"Hyoudou Kai... Why you here?"
Shalba asked that! What Kai-kun doing here?! Is he part of attack?! I thought they different group!
"I'm here to assure you survive idiot. Did you out of your mind? You just triggered Juggernaut Drive! Even God won't stupid enough to face Juggernaut Drive!"
Kai-kun sound seem... Displeased and he really angry.. I don't know but the amount of hatred in his voice is really big
So that's it? Kai-kun come to make sure Shalba alive.
PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Suddenly red laser comes out from the direction where Ise-kun blasted and it goes straight to Shalba and Kai-kun, Kai-kun seeing this barely able to dodge but not Shalba
It blowing away his left arm! The power of the laser doesn't stop, and it leaves a skinny line on the wall, floor and ceiling of the shrine. Then…
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
An explosion happened from a far off place! Smoke appears and spreads dust everywhere.
"Nuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Ise-kun makes a roar, and when he covers himself with enormous amount of aura, a hole is made to the floor and it turned into a huge crater. Just by exposing his aura it seems like it will blow away the surroundings!
"Y-You Monster! A-Are you telling me this is the 'Juggernaut-Drive'!? This is no joke! M-My power should have been raised to that of the former-Maou due to Ophis' power! He has surpassed the Boosted Gear's specs recorded in the data!"
Shalba's expression finally turns into that of fear. His eyes are dyed with fear, and looks at Ise-kun as someone he should fear.
"You just realize it now idiot?" Kai-kun asked in sarcasm to Shalba
We could only stand there and look in a daze.
Buchou has her eyes opened wide and her whole body is trembling. Akeno-san, Xenovia, Koneko-chan, and Gasper-kun are looking at Ise-kun with fear. My body also couldn't stop trembling.
-That is a monster. That isn't Ise-kun anymore. Ise-kun…. Sekiryuutei started to change his stance. It spread its wings and looked directly at Shalba and Kai
SLIDE
A sound of something sliding. When I looked, the chest and stomach part of the armour opened, and something that looks like a launcher shows up.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
After the silent vibration, a red aura gathers to the launcher. That starts to get bigger, and the aura is compressed and is charging at the launcher….!
The wings which are spread to the sides are glowing red, and the creepy red colour spread around the area.
"Ku! I can't die in a place like this!"
Shalba tries to draw a magic circle with his remaining leg…. But that leg was "stopped".
"…You stopped it! My leg!"
The eyes on the armour shone red. …Are you telling me it activated an ability similar to Gasper-kun's Sacred Gear!?
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]
[Longinus Smasher!]
It echoes through the shrine numerous of times. The sound coming from Sekiryuutei's Sacred Gear.
Then from the launcher that has been charged, an enormous amount of red aura is shot! This is bad! At this rate we will also get dragged into it!
"Buchou, let's retreat at once! We have to evacuate from this shrine!"
"Ise…I…"
Buchou walks towards Ise-kun craving for him, but I stop her.
"My apologies!"
I hold Buchou in my arms and ran. Akeno-san lent her shoulder to Xenovia, and Koneko-chan and Gasper-kun follow after me!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
"I-Impossible…..! I, the true successor of the True-Maou…..! I still haven't made a fool out of Vali yet! Beelzebub is greater than Lucifer! Curses! A mere dragon! Red dragon! White dragoooon!"
Shalba gets enveloped by the red aura that was shot, and he disappeared into the light along with the shrine…..
"…!"
When I got out of the shrine, I created many holy-demonic swords to make a shelter, and had everyone evacuate in it.
When I confirmed that the sound of the shrine crumbling stopped, I released the swords, and checked outside.
The shrine is completely destroyed.
The device made by the Longinus is still remaining, but it had broken parts everywhere and has many cracks as well. Sekiryuutei's power can be this powerful….
"Oooooooooooooooooon…."
Ise-kun stands on the shrine which turned into a ruin, and releases a sad echo towards the sky.
Even if he lost himself, he still has the sadness of losing Asia-san within him.
Shalba Beelzebub and Diodora Astaroth are no longer alive. The fight is supposed to be over, yet Ise-kun's armour shows no sign of disappearing.
...
Kai-kun also gone...
Does he... Does he dead?
…..What should I do? What should I do to make Ise-kun return to himself?
Including Buchou, the whole group can only just look at the roaring Ise-kun.
Suddenly there movement in ground and-!?
A fist slammed to Ise-kun from the ground and he got sended to the sky!
A single figure appear and it was Kai-kun!
Third Person POV
To say Kai survive was miracle... In last moment when he got freezed along with Shalba he manage to free himself using Susanoo and grab the ground then jumped away
However he not dodge it completely
His armor was destroyed, the part that left from his armor only right part of it plus left boots. His helmet also destroyed revealed his whole face and the Kuoh Academy Blazer with gray t-shirt underneath it with black jeans
He panted heavily, even it only part of shoot it still manage to destroy Susanoo! He already add magic and Senjutsu on his Susanoo but it still not enough!
He then look to Ise who just he punch and he quickly jump up while form a Raikiri (Lightning Cutter) in-between his two hands.
He splits it in two, charges his opponent, leaving two streams of black light, strikes them with one Raikiri, sending them into the air, then repeatedly hitting Ise with that one Raikiri in a zig-zag formation into the air, back and forth, before coming above Ise with black Raikiri that sparked dangerously on his right hand and EMS spinning plus glowing due to Senjutsu
"Raikiri: Sōraishin (Lightning Cutter: Double Lightning Quake)" Kai roared and slamming his second Raikiri into Ise stomach, driving them into the ground; creating a giant pillar of black lightning that shot to the sky
From the smoke Kai jumped away and flipped in sky before landed 20 meters away from Ise. He summon Frostmourne and it quickly shoot to him from the ruin of Shrine and he grab it
He knew it still not over. There no way Juggernaut Drive will stopped just like that
And his thought proved true when Ise in dragon form slowly stand in four limbs then lazily rotates his neck and then looks at Kai as if to say 'that's all?'
'This battle is far from over...' Kai panted while grab Frostmourne, he summon Shield of Blaster since his armor already destroyed and dozens of dragon slayer holy swords floating behind him ready to strike
Kai and Ise staring to each other and they leaked out enormous aura. Ise crimson aura crashed against Kai black aura that he use from Frostmourne, he manipulate the aura in order to tell Ise that he wasn't weak opponent
Gremory group who watching only could stare at astonishment seeing Kai and Ise. They swear just for second they see a visage of giant red dragon bare it fang against a knight that surronded by hundred swords
Ise tilted his head seeing Kai as if he recognize him and Kai paused. If he can he didn't want to fight Ise in this state. It clearly suicidal but if Kai escape then Ise will follow him and destroy everything on his way
The decision are clear...
He had to fight him if necessary
"GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!" Ise suddenly let out roar to Kai before dashed to him with unbelieveable speed. Kai eyes widened and he quickly launch the holy swords to him
It stabbed Ise and pierce his armor but Ise seem not bothered and keep dashed to Kai. Kai seeing this grip Shield of Blaster tightly and when Ise near
BANG!
Kai smack Ise face with it and deflect his dash, sending him away before Kai active Raiton no Yoroi and dashed to Ise. Ise flipped and skidded in ground with his claw before roared to Kai and charges towards him again with an even greater speed and extends his clawed hand in front of Kai
Kai tilt his head and dodge the claw but it still grazed his cheeks. Kai quickly smack Ise body with Shield of Blaster to him make him staggered but from one Ise jewel suddenly scaled dragon arm appear to grab Kai
Kai seeing this move Frostmourne and cut the arm off but he found the arm thicked than him thought, fortunately Frostmourne able to cut it through and he quickly jump away to dodge attack from Ise
Ise seeing this open his mouth and blast a large amount of flame to Kai. Kai extend Frostmourne and shoot black ice to the flame completely froze the flame and it keep shooted to Ise
Sensing the danger on that ice Ise quickly fly and dodge the attack before charges to Kai again
[Boost!]
Kai eyes widened when Ise speed suddenly increased he quickly swap himself using Shunshin and dodge Ise tackle
He appear few feet from him but suddenly his foot touch something. He look below and his eyes widened
That the device Shalba use!
"GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!"
Kai attention back to Ise who now in front of him with his claw extended. Kai ducked and barely dodge the claw, he give Ise another slam to his chest using Shield of Blaster before push him away and jumped away
'This isn't good. If this keep going I will lose... Looks like I need to enter his mindscape using Tsukuyomi but with his speed it will be impossible... I think I should change to offensive...' Kai thought grimly before he threw Shield of Blaster like boomerang and it hit Ise. Quickly he create 4 Kage Bunshin and each of them separated from the original
Ise roared before charges to Kai who hold Frostmourne while fired another energy blast from his mouth. Kai sharingan morphed to EMS and suddenly when Ise near a giant spectral black-red hand appear and pummel Ise to the ground before he reach Kai
Ise struggle to free but find Susanoo grip is stronger than he thought. Kai smirked now time to-
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]
With roar Ise manage to free himself from Kai grip with ease and give punch to Kai Susanoo and surprisingly make it crack enough to send Kai along with Susanoo away
Kai eyes widened seeing this and cursed inwardly. He summon full Susanoo and one of it 4 hands grip the ground tightly make he skidded before he slam Ise with it 3 hands before one hand grab Ise and slam him to the ground continued by slash from his spectral sword
But to his surprise Ise block the giant sword with one hand without so much problem. Ise growled before lift Susanoo with both hand and throw Kai away
Kai grunted and de-summon Susanoo in order to save his chakra. He flipped in air before summon Shield of Blaster again and block the coming laser unfortunately his strength are not enough and he got blasted away
Kai hit the ground and he coughed some blood. He can felt the fatigue start to envelop his body. He already exhausted when use his chakra to keep regenerating Susanoo when it hitted by Longinus Smasher
But he didn't have time to rest as he forced his body to up and rolled to dodge an attack from Ise. He rise Shield of Blaster and throw it to him, hitting him in face before dashed with black sphere on his left hand
"Raiton : Kuroi Burotu Rasengan (Black Bolt Rasengan)" Kai thrust the black lightning sphere to Ise stomach and immediately dome of lightning covering Ise body. But to his shock a blade appear from the sphere of lightning sphere and cut his left hand before Ise got blasted away
Kai eyes widened and he bit his lower lip until it bleed in order to hold the urge to scream when his left hand got completely cutted. Blood gushed out from his left shoulder and he panted heavily
"Sempai!" Koneko screamed with shock seeing Kai hand got cut
"Kai!" Xenovia who also watching can't help but shouted when see Kai hand get cut by Ise. She about to rush to help him but Kiba grip him firmly
"Don't! Don't you see their fight?! If you entering you will only get in way!" Kiba warned as he clench his other hand, showing that he also want to help but choose not to since it not wise
Xenovia growled under her breath and clench Durandal tightly
Rias, Akeno and Gasper merely stare with awe, shock and confused didn't know what to do in situation
"Sempai..." Koneko murmured worriedly as she hold her chest with tight
'Damn! It hurt! It hurt! IT HURT!' Kai let out little scream slowly as the pain of getting his hand cut driven to his mind
He try his best to ignore the pain and look to Ise who just recovered. Ise armor that destroyed quickly regenerated like it was never there and he roared before charges to Kai
Kai seeing this cursed inwardly, his conscious start to fade as the blood loss is affecting him. He glance to the sky and notice his 1 of his clones in sky wearing a dragon cape that allow him to fly, he told them to collect the remaining of cape and fix it
'About time!' He growled in his mind before he ducked under Ise tackle and grab his leg before smash him to the ground before summon Susanoo and pin Ise to the ground
"Now!" Kai yelled to the clones in sky
While in the air, Kai clones places both arms on top of each other, with the top hand having only the index and middle fingers spread out, on his right hand was the device that Shalba use to create light spears. Seven Magic Seals are then summoned in front of him and connect, creating a constellation of sorts.
"Light Magic : Grand Chariot!" Kai clones yelled and from the magic seals rain of light that drop to Kai and Ise. Kai seeing this quickly perform sealless Kawarimi and switched with another clones
Bang! Bang! Bang! Kaboooom!
The rain hit Ise and the result was devastating. Everything that light hit it create 3M deep crater! Slowly Ise get overwhelmed as he got rained down by hundred of light magic. Ise roared in pain when the light hit him as he trying to stand
"unbelievable..." Kiba who watching spoke with awe seeing the spell
"Ise..." Rias murmured with tears streaming on her face seeing Ise got hitted by rain of light
Ise who trying to stand slowly manage to, and he glare to Kai then slowly run to Kai though his movement got hindered by rain of light that rained to him
Kai seeing this narrowed his eyes, he still able to move even he already got blasted by Grand Chariot. As soon the spell done, Ise roared and dashed to Kai. Kai seeing this quickly prepare himself
'I just got one chance... Please, wake up Nii-san!' Kai thought with determined as Ise got close and when he close Kai quickly summon Shield of Blaster and slam Ise then push him to the ground and glare to his eyes
Kai want to use Tsukuyomi but, because he exhausted his chakra, he couldn't use Tsukuyomi without risking his current condition, so he opted to just enter Ise consciousness and try to return him to his sense.
"This place is….." Kai said after he opened his eyes. Right now, he is inside the Ise consciousness, however the view inside is definitely one that he didn't expected.
Everywhere there's only fire. Even the ground is scorching and the heat is almost unbearable. However, Kai paid no heed to it and starts walking, he need to find his brother! Fast! He walks following a single rocky path as if it's laid there for him to pass through this fire.
[You!]
A familiar voice greet him and he turn to see Ddraig being chained
"Ddraig-san..." Kai greeted and Ddraig growled trying to move
[I really like to tear you apart but in this condition I can't do anything. Why you here?] Ddraig asked
"Where Issei?" Kai asked back and Ddraig narrowed his eyes
[What you want with him? Aren't betraying him not enough for you?!] Ddraig roared as he moved and try to attack Kai but found he can't due to the chain. Ddraig growled before he see Kai left arm that missing and smirked
[It seem you got attacked huh? Serve you right..] Ddraig snorted and Kai expression didn't change
"Are you going to answer me or what?" Kai asked with still calm tone. Ddraig glare to Kai eyes but slowly Kai Sharingan eyes off and he can see Kai raven eyes
He can see it clearly... Just like what Koneko said... Regret, pain, loneliness, fear, worry, grief, despair... All those emotion...
"Where my brother?" Kai asked calmly and Ddraig hung his head before rise it to some direction
[Over there...] Ddraig said calmly and Kai nodded
"Thank you.." Kai replied before walk to where Ddraig point. Ddraig stare at Kai back for moment
[I won't tell Issei what I see...] Ddraig said to him and Kai stopped for moment before continue walk again
Kai continue walk until he see Ise covered by black aura that circling him like a ghost He narrowed his eyes seeinc this and approaching them
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
"This is..." Kai said with wide eyes when he hear their chant was familiar with the Senjutsu malice intent
"It's the voices of the previous bearers of the Boosted Gear…. They will forever haunt the wielder and forced him to lose his sanity when he unleashed the true strength of the Boosted Gear…." explained some feminine voice
Kai turn his head and see a woman with long wavy blonde hair and a slim and trim body, she wearing a full body dress with high slit
"And you are?" Kai asked calmly
"I'm Eisha... Now why you here? No more its how did you get in here?" Eisha asked
"I'm here to talk with my brother.." Kai said calmly ignoring Eisha question about how he get here as he point to Ise who got surrounded by black aura
DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY!
"But it seem he busy.." Kai said as he see the black aura whispered to Ise ear
Kai slowly step forward and approach the black aura and his Senjutsu active immediately he extend his hand to touch the black aura
"I suggest you don't do that..." Eisha warned Kai but Kai merely narrowed his eyes
"Sorry that won't stop me to save my brother..." Kai said before he embrace the black aura
In instant Kai gasped and fall to his knee as he felt the hatred and malice intent of Juggernaut Drive insert his body. His skin slowly turn into dark and fang slowly grow from his mouth
'D-Damn! It stronger than I thought! But...' Kai panted as his entire skin slowly turn into dark
"You will always be my little brother"
A face of grinning Ise flashed on his mind and Kai grit his teeth
'Thing like this!' Kai growled as he slowly stand and his skin turn back to normal make Eisha had wide eyes
'Impossible!' Eisha thought with shock
"Don't underestimate me! I had tame 10.000 malice intent! A hundred is nothing to ME!" Kai roared as slowly the black aura that cover Ise slowly got repelled by a green light that appear from Kai palm and. Slowly the black aura become more weaker make Ise slowly open his eyes due to the bright of green light Kai radiate
"K-Kai?" Ise asked in shock as he open his eyes. Kai growled and cocked back his hand before punch the black aura that cover Ise and it pierce through then hit Ise in the face
'Ups...' Kai sweatdropped when seeing Ise got unconscious
The black aura that cover Ise let out shriek before it slowly dissipated then the entire place from burned turn into white room. Kai let out sigh of relief and fall to his butt while panted
"You really interesting..." Eisha said as she brought back from her shock. Kai merely nodded before he stand
"I think my job is done.. I will take my leave.." Kai said as he turn to leave
"Hold on!" A male voice call Kai and he turn to see a man
"You, you are Hyoudou Kai, Issei brother right?" The man asked and Kai nodded
"I am... Who are you? And what are you? Why there another consciousness other than Ddraig on Ise body?" Kai asked back
"Name Belzard, well we are the past Sekiryuutei..." Belzard grinned and Kai stroke his chin
"I see... What you want to talk? Please be quick since I really tired and with the amount of blood that loss I will collapse if staying here more longer.." Kai said and Belzard turn to serious
"What your true intention?" Belzard asked sternly and Kai narrowed his eyes "Don't give me that crap about peace of the world. I knew it was lie.." Belzard cut Kai sharply when Kai open his mouth
Kai close his mouth and let out soft sigh
"Swear that you won't tell my brother..." Kai said seriously and Belzard glance to Eisha before they nodded "My intention is to die in hand of Hero..."
Both past Sekiryuutei blinked when hearing this, clearly didn't understand what Kai mean. Before they able to ask Kai already gone
"Hmmm... Interesting..." Belzard hummed as he stare at Ise form that unconscious "To be able to remove the malice intent inside Juggernaut Drive... And force Issei to back to normal... Impressive..."
"Yes.. But they still will be back... Not to mention this Juggernaut Drive is incomplete that's why he can remove it. If not he won't be able to remove it even after the calmed the malice intent..." Eisha said and Belzard nod in agreement
"Only Sekiryuutei that able to remove the hatred of Boosted Gear. What Kai did is only calm them down..." Belzard said before he smirked "Interesting he even restore some of lifespan that got decreased... Looks like he did that one unconsciously.."
Kiba POV
Its been 1 minutes Kai-kun and Ise-kun stop fighting... We don't know what happen...
Kai-kun still pinned Ise-kun in ground and they didn't move, the 3 remaining Kai-kun clones also surround them with holy swords on their hand ready to strike if something happen
!?
Slowly there crack on Ise-kun armor and he
Break!
His armor shattered and it reveal Ise-kun who sleep! Kai-kun also slowly stand and his clone approach him then help him stand
"Looks like you are in trouble Kai."
A new person? Then a crack is made in the air! From the crack, the one who appeared is Hakuryuukou Vali. And also the man wearing ancient Chinese armour. It's my first time seeing him, but he must be Sun Wukong.
And another unfamiliar man wearing a business suit. The sword this man is holding has a great amount of light I have never seen before. I knew right away. The man Ise-kun met. The wielder of the Holy King sword Collbrande.
"Vali."
Buchou gets shocked at Vali's appearance. But she made a stance to attack immediately. We also made the stance to battle too. But I couldn't sense hostility from them.
"I have no will to fight. I just came to look for Kai and see the Sekiryuutei Juggernaut Drive but it seem it already over..."
Vali answered as he and his group approach Kai
"Ara? Kai where your left hand?"
Bikou asked as he pointed to Kai-kun missing arm.
"Here..."
One of Kai-kun clones that he summon bring Kai-kun left hand
"Woaah! You got it pretty bad eh? Don't worry we will fix it later nyahahaha!"
Bikou laughed like it simple matter and Kai-kun clone narrowed his eyes
SLAP!
We can't help but jawdropped seeing what Kai-kun did even Vali group also gobsmacked especially Bikou
"Did you... Did you just slap me with that left arm?!"
Bikou asked in shock and Vali snorted he seem very amused even I can't help but find it quite... Funny...
"Hn!"
Kai-kun merely grunt at his question. It looks like you still have your strange sense of humor Kai-kun
"Haa, I finally arrived. Wait, it already over!? I heard it from Michael-sama and Azazel-sama that Ise-kun went to Juggernaut Drive but it seem I was late!"
Getting shocked and to be in high spirits. Like always, Shidou Irina-san has such strong emotions.
"Irina, why are you here?"
When Xenovia asks, Irina-san pushed forward the holographic projector. It's the one used by devils.
"The fact that Ise-kun went into a dangerous form is already known by the VIP's who are at the observation room and at this field. So they thought leaving it like this isn't a good idea, Maou Lucifer-sama and Azazel-sama made me carry this secret weapon! But seeing Ise-kun back to normal it seem useless. By the way, the one who teleported me here is Odin-sama! He sure is amazing! The God from the North! And he has a huge beard!"
…Her spirit is so high that it destroyed the atmosphere here.
"Ah right! Azazel-sama also said that you don't need to worry about Asia-san. He say Asia is save and the one that been captured before was only a clone!"
Hearing that we can't help but have wide eyes! Even I have tears coming from my eyes. I'm glad! I'm seriously glad!
"Really?"
Xenovia asked in hopeful tone and Irina-san nodded with smile
"Yeah!"
Xenovia tears rolled more fast and she can't help but let out cry hearing that. She look felt relieved, so got on her bottom crying
"And now this belong to you..."
Kai-kun clone handed us Ise-kun unconscious form
"Why?"
I can't help but asked that. Kai-kun narrowed his red eyes
"Don't get me wrong. I didn't hate you all but I also not like you all. My goal is peace that's all, however that trash is Sekiryuutei and he have something I want. He can die after I got what I want from him.. For now, he can't die yet..."
Something you want? What you mean by that?
"You plan to extract Boosted Gear from Ise aren't you?"
Buchou asked sharply and I can't help but surprised. Is that true?! Kai turn to Buchou with little smirk
"Who know?"
Hearing that we immediately got into battle stance. I won't let you take Ise-kun Boosted Gear!
Vali group seeing this let out chuckle
"You can't beat us. Without Hyoudou Issei, I can beat you all here with easy.. Not to mention you guys tired after battle with Diodora Astaroth... But don't worry let just call truce for today.. We didn't come here to fight after all..."
Hearing that we become calm down and relax our stance. Irina-san then step forward with smile
"If be like that then let us relax for moment! I curious what the secret weapon Azazel-sama give to us. Let see it!"
Irina-san then pushed the button. Then…..a huge holographic vision appears to the sky. Then something which surpassed our anticipation appears from the vision.
[Oppai Dragon! Now starting!]
When Ise-kun in an armour form appears on the vision and says that…children gathered around him.
[Oppai!]
Children in the vision around him said that loudly. Ise-kun and the children started dancing. Then a casual music started. Ise-kun and the children started to dance along with it. Letters appears on the sky… The title and the lyrics of the song appeared. Everyone had their eyes pop up at the shocking happening!
-WHAT IS THIS?
[The Song of Oppai Dragon]
Lyrics: Azazel
Composer: Sirzechs Lucifer
Choreography: Serafall Leviathan
THERE IS AN OPPAI-LOVING DRAGON LIVING IN THE EDGE OF A CERTAIN COUNTRY.
THE DRAGON GOES FOR A WALK WHEN THE WEATHER IS GOOD
DRAGON DRAGON OPPAI DRAGON
GROPE-GROPE SUCK-SUCK PAFU-PAFU
THERE ARE SO MANY TYPES OF OPPAI
BUT HE LIKES THE BIG ONES THE BEST
THE OPPAI DRAGON ALSO FLIES TODAY
IN AN EDGE OF A CERTAIN TOWN, THE OPPAI DRAGON WAS LAUGHING
EVEN IN A STORMY DAY, THE OPPAI DRAGON BECOMES HAPPY BY PRESSING OPPAI
DRAGON DRAGON OPPAI DRAGON
CLICK-CLICK ZOOM-ZOOM IYAAAN
HE HAS SEEN LOTS OF OPPAI, BUT HE LIKES BIG ONES THE BEST
OPPAI-DRAGON ALSO PUSHES TODAY
…
Everyone was dumbfounded. We didn't know how to respond. I then understood. This is most likely the video taken at that television studio. Looks like the filming when only he was asked to come was a children's music programme.
And the name of the song is "The Song of Oppai Dragon"!
They filmed it by having Ise-kun using his Balance Breaker, and made him dance with the children. Seeing this video, I'm really shocked. And the ones who made the songs are…. What are you people seriously doing!?
-This is just horrible….
"…Uuu….oppai…."
"!?"
Ise-kun who sleep seem responded! Even in dream he responded to such song!?
"He actually responded to a song like this…."
Koneko-chan…..had shocked face and her jaw open wide clearly shocked
"Now if I recall during our first fight it seem Hyoudou Issei got power up when Rias Gremory breast threatened to get halved... Are Rias Gremory's breasts like a control switch for Hyoudou Issei?"
Vali asks that with a serious face but Bikou replies by saying "Hey, isn't that just too mean!?" and was laughing out loud.
SLAP!
Kai-kun slap Vali head using his separated left hand with twitched eyebrow make Vali glare to him
"Please don't ask something like that with such face..."
I don't care what happens anymore….
Ise-kun. You are a splendid Oppai dragon…
No one notice one of Kai clones leave secretly while holding glowing green orb
Later (Kai POV)
Its been 20 minutes after fight with Nii-san... Currently I was sit on ground, at my side was one of my clone that heal my wound.
I glance to my left arm on ground. Apparently my arm are rare one since it have chakra coils inside it. I can't just build new arm for mine so I have to be careful
Vali said he had Phoenix Tears on HQ and it will reconnected later on the base. Right now my left arm was bandaged with my Kuoh Academy blazer and honestly every time I try to move my shoulder it hurt! Friccking hurt!
I also already eat one of blood medicine, it similar like blood pil. The effect was to restore the blood loss and thanks to that I still conscious now...
"Tired?" Vali asked me and I nod
"My armor got destroyed, I lost one arm, and my Susanoo is not too affective against him.. It clearly almost one-sided battle... If not because the blood pil. I already dead.. Even right now I still tired and sore... Juggernaut Drive are scary..." I sighed
"I also surprised hearing you able to revert your brother back to normal. It mean your brother Juggernaut Drive is incomplete.. Be grateful for that.." Vali told me and I can't help but shocked
That monstrous thing was not complete?! What the heck!? How strong it will be if it complete?!
But above all that... Nii-san chant is different from what I see in dream...
Is that mean the dream only a normal dream?
And the Juggernaut Drive...
...
If it that strong then... What if Nii-san go rampage to Sirzechs-sama?
...
I can't imagine the horror...
While thinking this I got the memory of my clone that I send to meet Azazel... Good, it seem he bring Asia with him and the memory about me already being altered... Now what left is only Koneko... She don't know but she still under my genjutsu... I need to alter her memory too and make her forget the meeting with me and Asia on house before
"It seem Hyoudou Issei are awake.." Arthur said and I glance to Nii-san who just awake and now being hugged by Rias and Akeno who crying
He then turn to Kiba and seem asking what happen before he seem panicked but calmed down
I turn around and slowly stand by help of my clone
"You can dispel now.." I said to it and it poofed. I let out sigh and pick the dragon cape that he wear. Now it become more tiny thanks to Longinus Smasher.. Well at least it still can help me fly
*sigh* My armor also got destroyed great. Now I really in problem, sorry Jin-sensei it seem your armor got destroyed.. I will try to fix it later... If I can... *sigh*
"Don't you want to talk with your brother?" Arthur asked me and I notice Vali and Bikou talk with Nii-san
"There nothing to talk about..." I said calmly though I really want to talk with him...
I want to talk with Kiba... With Rias-nee, Akeno-nee, Koneko, Xenovia... Everyone...
I want to talk with them about the training, the trip, the joke, everything that I been through...
I want to tease Rias-nee relation with Nii-san
I want to tease Kiba relation with Tsubaki-sempai...
I want to speak with Xenovia about holy sword
I want to speak with Koneko and told her how proud I am seeing her using Senjutsu
I want to playing chess with Sona-sempai again...
I want to cheer Gasper to be brave...
I want to talk with Akeno-nee about her rivalry with Rias-nee in order caught Nii-san attention
I want to talk with Nii-san, training with him, joking with him and laugh with him
I want to talk with Asia... And told her how I love her...
I want them all... I really am...
...
But I can't... The now me is not that Hyoudou Kai anymore...
I let out small sigh under my breath and I active my Sharingan to hide the emotion from my eyes
Suddenly I feel a strong aura from the sky then I looked up the white sky of this battle field.
Then….
BREAK! BREAK!
A gigantic hole was created in the sky. Then something appears within from it.
Ah... Is been a while since I see him... 2 months if I recall...
A gigantic creature….. A true-red coloured dragon appeared in the sky swimming magnificently.
He far bigger than Saphiron and Shinus...
"That's our goal huh?" Arthur shifted his glasses up while look to the sky
"Yes..." I nodded
Great Red...
Ah right I almost forgot... Another destination why Ojou-chan come here...
We already running test on Rating Game battle field. The test was to see is it true that the field of Rating Game is inside a section in the dimensional gap by putting on a barrier.
And seeing Great Red seem arrive it seem it was true. Shalba plan actually only secondary objectives
And speaking about Shalba he manage to survive, my clone found him when fixed my cape and hand him to some devil from Old Satan faction
"Such magnificent creature! Even I can feel the power he radiate through your body!" Madara inside my mind spoke in awe
Where are you when I fight with my brother?
"Boy. I'm not your babysitter. While you fighting that boy I was bust destroying Frostmourne corrupt aura that crawled to my cage..."
Huh? Really? Well... Suck to be you then, think it as punishment for your sin
"Hn!"
I can heard he really displeased at my reply, well it not like I care though. Suddenly I feel few familiar presence approaching us
I then turn and see Ojou-sama appear near Vali side
"Great-Red. It has been awhile." She said
"Who is that girl…..? She wasn't there before." Nii-san asked in surprise
Vali makes a bitter smile after seeing her.
"Ophis. She's the Uroboros. She's also the head of Khaos Brigade."
I had to hold the urge of laugh seeing Nii-san face, yeah I sure my face also like that when Vali reveal about Ophis to me 2 months ago
Ophis made a posture of shooting a gun using her hands at Great Red.
"I shall, definitely get my hands on silence." She said with shining eyes and I sweatdropped before I feel something approaching us again
Ah, Tannin, Azazel, and Asia
FLAP
This time a sound of the wing flapping.
DON!
Yup. Tannin and Azazel come... Nii-san seeing this then greet them and everyone greet Asia
"Asia! Asia!" Nii-san calling her and Asia opens her eyes slowly.
"…..Huh? …Ise-san?"
Nii-san seeing this had relieved face and about to hug her but he get pushed away by Xenovia
"Asia!"
Xenovia hugs onto Asia. Oh my, she's crying like madman... Or madwoman? Ah both of them fine for me
"Xe…Xenovia-san. What's wrong? I-It's hard to breath….."
"Asia! Asia Asia Asia Asia Asia Asia! You and I will always be friends! Friends forever! That's why please don't leave me again!"
Asia pats gently on Xenovia's head.
"…Yes. We will always be friends."
"I'm so glad."
Irina who was besides Nii-san started nodding her head down while crying. I then see Vali greet Azazel and both of them turned to me. Azazel eyes widened slightly seeing my arm and it only got caught by me thanks to Sharingan. I sighed before I stand and take my left arm with my right hand
"Let's go to Vali..." I said to Arthur and he nod before we approach Vali
Everyone then turn their attention to us when I arrive along with Arthur I can tell Tannin seem pleased seeing my condition
"Hn. I see you lost your arm... Good for you then..." Tannin said with amused tone but I ignore the jab
"Kai... Your arm..." Ophis eyes widened slightly and I merely grunted
"Hn. An arm can be regrowth.. I am God after all..." I said calmly though inwardly I rolled my eyes, I can't believe I just saying that
"God?" Tannin snorted "Puny God? Yes."
"Well. Even I doubt you will able to take down Juggernaut Drive Tannin. This is the difference between us. The difference between God and Dragon..." I retorted with smirk and he glare to me
"You okay?" Ophis asked me and everyone especially Tannin seem surprised at Ophis question. I turn to her and rub her head with my mutilated left arm
"I'm fine..." I said calmly ignoring everyone strange look at me when doing this. I then glance to see everyone expression
Rias and Akeno seem troubled, Kiba, Koneko, and Xenovia seem sad seeing me, Gasper... Well he hiding behind Nii-san who had shame face seeing my arm and Asia had worry face
"K-Kai-san! W-What happen to your arm?" Asia asked and I notice Nii-san flinched
"A miscalculation..." I said simply
"O-Oh..." Asia muttered "D-Did you want me to-"
"We are not friend Asia Argento, don't act like one..." I cut her sharply and she flinched. Rias seem angry at me and she step forward
"Asia just offer her kindness, you should-"
"Just like what she did to Diodora..." I interjected and everyone from Gremory group blanched "And look what happen... She kind, yes but she give it to wrong person. Not all people deserve kindness. Do not think we are friend. I didn't stop Hyoudou Issei rampage to help him, but because I want to test my limit against Juggernaut Drive since Vali here didn't want to help me."
"You really cold..." Kiba commented with sharp eyes and I simply scoffed
"Like I said before... I abandoned my feelings and memories about you all long ago. All I need now is power to create peace in this world!" I said coldly with my Sharingan spinning
The atmosphere gone from light to intense. It seem there any moment we can explode in battle. Azazel then stare to Ophis at my side
"Ophis. The guys from the Old-Maou faction who were rampaging in each area either retreated or surrendered. –In reality, the Old-Maou faction which was controlled by the descendants is now basically finished."
"Yes. That is also one of the conclusions." Ophis replied calmly
"Among you guys, the group with power apart from Vali is the faction assembled by the humans who are either the descendants of heroes or Sacred Gear possessors. I think they were called 'Hero-faction' right." Azazel said with shrug his shoulder and I narrowed my eyes hearing that group name
"Now, Ophis. Shall we fight?"
Azazel points his spear of light at Ophis. But Ophis turns around.
"I will go home."
Oh my, looks like she has no desire to fight. People on Gremory side won't be satisfied with that, and Tannin shouts and tells her to stop while spreading his wings.
"Wait! Ophis!"
But Ophis just put on a creepy smile.
"Tannin. The dragon-kings are gathering once again. This will turn interesting." She said before turn to me, give me long and hard look as if said "I want explanation about your action..."
I sighed seeing her look and nodded. She nod back before
HYUU!
When I thought the air vibrated for a moment…..Ophis has now disappeared Azazel and Tannin were making a sigh.
"We will also retreat." Vali said as he stand at Arthur side who cut another dimension
"Hyoudou Issei. Do you want to defeat me?" He asked Nii-san
"…..I do. But you are not the only one I want to surpass. I want to surpass Kiba, who is in the same group as me, and I also want to surpass my pal, Saji. There are so many things I want to surpass. Especially..." Nii-san paused and look into me. I simply turn around not even acknowledge his look
"Me too. There are those I want to defeat besides you. This is weird. Looks like the current Sekiryuutei and the current Hakuryuukou have dreams and objectives more important than the destined fight. Maybe you and I are weird dragons. But something like that might be good at times. But one day…." Vali replied with smirk and Nii-san pointed his fist towards Vali.
"Yeah, let's settle it. It will be a trouble if Buchou and Akeno-san's oppai were reduced to half."
"Like I thought, you are truly amusing. Get stronger, Hyoudou Issei."
"See ya, Oppai-dragon! And also Switch-princess!" Bikou flashed them smile and Rias-nee went into red of embarassing hearing the nickname Bikou give to her
"Kiba Yuuto-kun. Xenovia-san." Arthur called Kiba and Xenovia. "I am the wielder of Holy-King sword, and the descendant of Arthur Pendragon. Call me Arthur. One day, let's have a battle of Holy-swords. Good bye."
I then entering the portal but paused then turn and glance to all of them
"Now I think again... Didn't you all save my life when I got attacked before the meeting of 3 factions? That mean I owe you all one. Mark my word, I will repay it one day. And I didn't hate you all but I respect power and all of you now is weak... Until we meet again..." I said as I entering the portal and we disappeared into the crack to another dimension.
Ise hearing this had sad faces... He really feel regret for what he did to Kai. He just snapped and almost kill his own brother! What kind of monster he is!?
Everyone except Tannin also troubled at Kai declaration
Asia clench Xenovia hand tightly seeing Kai leave.. She feel really sad to see Kai hurt like that. She really want to go to his side and heal him... But when he mention about Diodora she flinched and become afraid slightly... Though she didn't feel afraid to Kai
Azazel inwardly sighed in proud seeing Kai, he sacrifice his hand to save his brother though seeing his hand still complete it can be connected using Phoenix Tears later. He glance to Koneko and notice that the Nekoshu still under genjutsu unconsciously. He make mental note to contact Kai after this day and call him to dispel the genjutsu on Koneko
Ise let out deep sigh. There no use to think about it now... For now, it over... He turn to Asia with smile
"This time, let's go home for real Asia. To our home."
"Yes. I will go home to the house Otou-san and Oka-san are waiting at."
Ise nodded with smile before he close his eyes and start to loss consciousness but he manage to whispered loud enough to everyone hear
"And one day Kai will also waiting us..."
With Kai
I arrive on HQ and immediately fall to the ground exhausted
I already hold this feeling since Tannin appear. It seem I reach my limit
"Kai! Hold on dude! We will connect your arm again!" Bikou said to me in little panic tone and I merely nodded weakly
"Welcome ho-NYA! What happen to Kai-chan!?" Kuroka who popped from living room yelled in shock
"No time! He start to lose blood again! Take another blood medicine and bring Phoenix Tears!" Vali commanded sternly
"What wro-KKYAAA! Kai! What happen?!" Le Fay screamed seeing me dropped in floor with my left arm on my right hand
"Le Fay, where you put Phoenix Tears?!" Arthur demanded
"Wait a moment! I will take it!" Le Fay yelled before I heard her running sound
"Kai... Be okay..." Ophis whispered to me and I notice her tone filled with worry
Looks like I wrong about one thing
I never alone... At least I had few friends in here who care to me...
Heh...
"Everyone... I leave my healing to you all... For now... Let me sleep..." I muttered before close my eyes and succumb into darkness with little smile on my face
