''Show me, how strong a high class devil can be.'' Altair said, as his golden eyes began to glow strongly releasing a huge amount of killing intent.
Rias seeing this trembled, but still tried to remain firm. After all she didn't want to appear weak in front of her servants.
But the next scene the redhead saw made her eyes widen in shock, and this time the scene she was seeing she was sure to never forget in her life.
Because at this moment she was face to face with death.
"Gate of Babylon! As he muttered the name of his ability, a huge amount of golden magic circles appeared around Altair.
Rias who saw this, thought about summoning a barrier that could protect her and her servants, but she soon gave up on this idea, because what she saw next scared her too much.
From Altair's golden magic circles she saw weapons coming out slowly and menacingly, there was a huge variety of swords and spears.
And worst of all, all these weapons were...
Sacred.
Rias knew that there was nothing more she could do, she and her servants were dead, that was all that was going through her mind now.
She knew that escape would be impossible, all she could do was fall to her knees on the ground in desolation.
It was then that Altair raised his right hand and just as he was about to lower it in a sign for the weapons to make Gremory's skewer, Sona stepped in front of Rias with his arms outstretched in an attempt to protect her.
Altair seeing this, interrupted his action, after all he was not here to fight her but Rias.
''What is it Sona? Have you lost something?'' He asked coldly, causing Sona to tremble a little, after all the pressure Altair was exerting at the moment was frightening.
''That's enough Altair, you've already won the fight, there's no need to spill any more blood.'' Sona said, as she fixed her glasses to try to calm herself and not to falter in her voice, since Altair's presence was a bit scary and the swords and spears behind him didn't help much.
Sona had only one certainty, if just any sword or spear hit her, she would probably die.
Altair who heard Sona's request, kept his expression cold.
''She hasn't given up yet and is still conscious, so I haven't won this fight yet.''
As he said this, Altair checked the Quest that the system had issued and realized that the system had not yet confirmed his victory, and since the system had not confirmed his victory, he had to keep fighting.
And even though Altair felt a little sorry for Rias, he would still continue, since his life was more important than a pretty girl, at least that's what he thought.
Sona who heard this, shook his head in frustration.
''In that case, Rias give up, now!'' She said turning to her friend who was cowering behind her.
The redhead was practically broken, the fear she had never felt in her life gripped her in a way she hadn't expected, her arrogance and pride all shattered by that monster.
Moreover, she broke it so easily.
''I-I give up.'' She said in a crying voice.
[Members defeated: 06/06]
[The Quest Defeat Rias and her Peerage was completed!]
[The Host gained 2000 points]
[The Host gained 02 random skills]
[The Host gained 02 random servant card]
[The two items have been sent to the inventory]
Confirming his victory with the system, Altair snapped his fingers causing the weapons to disappear along with the magic circles.
Altair's eyes, which had been glowing before, went back to the way they had been before, showing that he had calmed down and no longer intended to fight.
Sona who saw this sighed with relief, since she was afraid that Altair would fight her friend to the death.
But Sona was also a little sad and hurt, after all this fight showed her how weak she was, besides she knew that things couldn't be like before, since this fight completely destroyed Rias.
Altair sighed seeing Rias on the ground, he knew he had gone too far, and even if Rias was arrogant he didn't need to treat her this way.
Sona looked at Altair with a complicated expression, but her face froze when she saw him approaching her, after all she thought he now wanted to fight her.
But she quickly realized how stupid she was being, as Altair just walked past her and towards Rias who was on the ground with tears in his eyes.
Bending down next to Rias, who looked at him startled, Altair knew that he had taken things to an extreme, so with a sigh he with his right hand tidied up the lock of red hair that was covering Rias's face a bit, only to see the redhead's even more tearful expression.
Altair said nothing and just continued tidying up Rias's locks of hair, and soon he got a better view of the redhead's face, and he had to admit, even in this state Rias was an unmatched beauty.
''Someone as beautiful as you, shouldn't be afraid of adversity like this.'' Moving closer to Rias's left ear, he said these words that caused the redhead to freeze.
After saying this, Altair stood up and started walking back to his house without even looking back.
Looking at Altair's lonely back, Sona sighed and went to help her friend who was on the ground staring at Altair's back.
''I just hope she doesn't involve her brother in this.'' Sona thought.
...
...
It was already evening and Altair had just arrived at his house, and on the way here he was thinking about the fight he had a short time ago against Rias and her peerage. And even though he had discovered many things, he was not happy at all.
First, he was extremely exhausted.
The Gate Of Babylon that he had used in the battle had consumed basically almost all of his MP.
[MP: 120/1000]
In addition, Altair also realized that should he settle on his strength, he would be easily outclassed, especially by Issei who had a Sacred Gear completely off the curve.
Altair knew that even if he defeated Rias, he was still extremely weak, for example, if instead of Rias, it was Riser and her peerage in the battle, Altair knew that his chances of winning would be minimal.
''Even though the Gate of Babylon looks scary it still can't pose a high level threat, since it's only in the beginning levels.'' He knew that he would need to master its most powerful ability so that he could be safer in this world.
With the Gate of Babylon at level 01, he could only use about 20 weapons that were in storage.
The advantage of these 20 weapons was that they possessed the holy attribute that was perfect for use against devils.
He was a little sad to find that his skills hadn't leveled up in battle, and it made him think of ways on how to level them up, but even after thinking for a long time he hadn't come up with anything, and decided to just ask the system.
''System, how can I level up my skills?''
[Answering the host, you need to master your skills, use them naturally and without side effects, and when you can do that the system will naturally level them up]
Hearing the system's answer Altair nodded and began to think a little.
''So... Once I master the skills they will naturally level up.''
[But...]
''What is it?'' He asked puzzled as he saw that the system had more to talk about.
[The Gate of Babylon skill is different]
''What do you mean by that?'' Altair was getting more and more confused, since the system had said that as long as he mastered the skills they would level up, but now the same system was saying that the Gate of Babylon was different.
[To use the weapons like EA and Enkidu's chains, the host must receive permission from the original carrier]
''Original carrier? Are you talking about Gilgamesh?'' Altair asked confused.
[Exactly!]
''This is going to be tricky.'' Murmured Altair as he sighed.
Asking his permission to use his weapons?
Altair thought that was impossible to accomplish, asking Gilgamesh would be like asking him to chop Altair up.
A bead of sweat dripped from Altair's forehead as he thought of the scene of Gilgamesh chopping him up.
[In addition...]
''Are there more things?'' Altair who was already in a sad state, became even worse as he realized that there were even more requirements.
[The host will only be able to use most of the arsenal when it reaches Balance Breaker]
''Most? Tell me how many percent I will be able to use. Also, since when did my ability become a Sacred Gear?'' The first question Altair thought was reasonable, but the last question he had asked the system, he said incredulously.
[99%]
[The host only won't be able to use EA and Enkidu's chains]
''That I expected, after all these weapons have a huge sentimental value to Gilgamesh... But you still haven't answered my last question system.'' Altair said while narrowing his eyes.
[Gate of Babylon became a Sacred Gear due to the fact that it was his first skill, plus this was done so that the skill could fit into this world without too many problems]
The system's answer didn't rid Altair of all his doubts, but he knew he had a perfect excuse for when someone asked where all his power came from, and he was about to rest when he remembered something.
''System, what level do I need to have of my Sacred Gear to achieve Balance Breaker?''
[Level 50]
When Altair heard this his eyes widened, this was going to take a long time.
''Damn, so I have a long way to go.'' He muttered dejectedly.
''So when will I be able to meet with Gilgamesh?'' Altair asked even more despondently.
[Once Sacred Gear reaches level 90]
Altair's hopes of using EA and Enkidu had already been evaporated, he who had imagined several scenes of him using these two legendary weapons, was at this point with his head down thinking how unfair this was.
After a while, Altair finally managed to pull himself together, and now he seemed a little more refreshed.
It didn't even seem like a few seconds ago that he was depressed and saying how unfair the system was.
''I think I should take a look at my inventory.'' Saying this he decided to check the rewards he had earned from the system's Quest.
- SR Skill Manual (Full Counter)
- Skill Manual UR(Kai Kai)
- Random Servant Cards x2
''System, why do I have two servant cards instead of just one as stated in the Quest rewards?'' Altair asked confused.
Altair didn't think the system would mess up so abruptly. Of course he would also not complain if this was a bonus or something like that.
[That was a bonus for making Rias give up the battle and for making her wet her skirt]
Hearing the system's response a self-deprecating smile appeared on Altair's face.
''I didn't expect you to be humorous.'' Altair said sarcastically.
But he quickly shifted his focus to the two skills he had received.
''Let's go first with Full Counter.''
[Does the host wish to learn this skill?]
[Yes] [No]
Altair had nothing to lose, so he quickly clicked 'Yes' and with that, the book burned and then entered his body, making him glow for a few moments.
[Congratulations host, you have gained a new ability]
[Full Counter: Allows the user to be able to direct the magic attacks at him back at the enemy, but with double the power; Therefore, the stronger the opponent's magic attacks, the stronger the user's reflective power becomes].
''Holy shit! That skill is simply too useful!'' Altair this time was really surprised and happy.
The main reason Altair was like this, was that this skill besides being extremely useful, was also used by a character he likes a lot.
Meliodas the sin of dragon's wrath.
Although he hasn't used this title for a long time.
''Now let's go to the next skill.'' He said with a smile on his face.
