Welcome to the next chapter!
danielhaywoodsnow; Maybe she could be~ Glad you enjoyed that part~
OechsnerC; Thanks very much! Yeah, we'll see what's going on with Xenovia through the chapters.
KadeBear; Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the club meeting~ Hmm, we'll see what he did with her soon enough. Thank you very much!
Darkwubs; That's a pretty cool character. I like the personality, harem and the fact he has a bit of a rivalry with Dulio is pretty cool.
Clarent excalibur; Hehe, that would be pretty funny~ I could see Xenovia acting like that.
emoryjmorrill; Thanks!
Morregen; Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, they'll have some fun discussions about it. Yeah, Haruki will be doing that soon enough~ They'd be cool members. Thanks! Yeah sure~
gotinceco; Haruki would let her fight whoever and make sure it was all good.
KiritoAlpha; Thanks, glad you're enjoying it!
TheRagFromTheCrag; Maybe they could do yeah~
Coolguy001; Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, maybe.
ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! I'm happy you liked that part. Yeah, Serafall tried her best, though Gabriel turned it around by showing how much she really wishes to be intimate with Haruki. Maybe it was Kalawarner yeah~ Xenovia has yeah, it seems she's going through a few things.
Silver crow; Thanks. Yeah, Rossweisse and Kunou had quite the time. Haruki did yeah. Yeah, he did his best with the picture~ We'll see how their battle is going to go~ Isane surely is yeah. Koneko knows when her spot is being taken. Xenovia really hated that picture huh~? Vali does come for the food, but will get involved every now and again. Yeah, that would be a good way to split the club up into different sections. Ooh yeah, Akeno's said that off screen before. Koneko remembered, and could see how insightful her King is. Maybe Irina is one. Haha yeah, they probably would have done with Saji. Xenovia can be fun when she's not being super serious in this arc. It wasn't an inferior version, Kalawarner said she was messing with Xenovia. I haven't seen Oda Nobuna so I hope it's cool for the crossover. Yeah, Roygun looks really good, glad we finally have an image of her. I'm sure Roygun would know of it yeah. Those would be good for Persona 5. Yeah, Haruki keeps eyes on things around him, and what he needs to do. He and Incinerate Anthem could have met before. Thanks for the suggestions.
Guest 1; Yeah, that would be a pretty cool story to do about that series of games.
Nephilim; Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I'm sure they'd be really happy to get rid of her.
Shier; They could be yeah~
MDM11; He does train them from time to time, they'll be able to hold their own. Haruki could have them yeah~ Irina could do. I could see Serafall adding Mil-tan to her group. I could see them doing that yeah~ Thanks for the harem suggestions!
CodyGryfor; Yeah, they are girls that seem to get less, and I like them all pretty well. I'll be doing my other Bleach story yeah. Thanks very much! I currently don't have that, but I've thought about it before.
Skull Flame; Yeah, it seems that it was her~ Yup, they surely are. I'm sure Irina deep down does know it, she just doesn't want to accept it~ Glad you liked it.
Boku no hero; No problem. The Villains Hero, not sure if it will be continued or rewritten, the poll was about even last time for that. Yuki's role would be an interesting one, without spoiling I can't say anymore than that. I'm sure All For One had his reasons for waiting so long. His initial Quirk is going to be quite powerful. Spoilers about his classmates, he probably will keep the colour of his eyes. Right now, I can't say about Vigilanties since it hasn't finished yet. Yeah, maybe they could, and it was always a bit odd, though it seemed All For One had already decided he'd probably lose in his current form and didn't want to reveal some Quirks perhaps.
BlackSoundwave; Depends on the story, since some are still ongoing in their manga/anime/light novel forms.
Azrael; I don't know right now.
GreyGhost; Yeah, that's her goals.
Valtazar; I don't know when yet, thanks for the suggestions.
Guest 2; Thanks for the future poll ideas.
Neonlight01; It seems that Kalawarner was yeah~ Xenovia does yeah, and is going through quite a few things. Yup, Haruki and Ravel are quite aware of what's going on. Saji does seem to be huh~? Glad you liked the meeting that they had, maybe we'll see more to come.
Akeno fan; Maybe she is. Xenovia is yeah, I thought it would be a good shift in their relationship.
Guest 3; Makoto could do. For Fairy Tail it's possible to have that power. I'll put it on the next poll, not sure when that will be right now. Thanks for the suggestions.
Xenomorph; I don't know when I am yet, thanks for the suggestion.
Guest 4; No lemon today, it will be soon.
Well, with those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Haruki vs Vali!
The day for them leaving came about. Haruki, Ravel and Kuroka were saying their goodbyes to Rias, Sona and the group. Asia looked slightly sad, Koneko was also sad that her King was going, but knew he'd be back soon enough.
"Well, this is it, we'll be gone for a few days." Haruki began, as he saw Akeno looking on with a pout. "Fufu, what's wrong Onee-sama?"
"It's nothing, I'll just miss you."
Haruki lightly smiled towards her.
"Don't worry, it wont be that long. Just going to go and fight my Queen."
Akeno giggled as she lightly kissed his lips.
Then Rias did the same thing, kissing Haruki for a brief moment.
"We'll hold down here, don't worry and go do what you need to do."
"Yeah, I'm sure you'll be fine."
Haruki watched Asia come over, and boldly press her lips against his own.
Kissing her briefly, Asia pulled back, and held his hand.
"Please come back soon, safely."
"Right, don't worry Asia-chan. This isn't dangerous, be safe."
Asia nods with a smile, as Koneko this time came over, and pulled Haruki's shirt down, so her lips and his own could connect together. Kissing one another deeply, Koneko was the one to pull away, a blush on her cheeks.
"...Senpai, leave the town to me, I'll make sure it is okay."
"Right, I know you've got this."
Koneko pulled back, while Isane moved closer.
Not wasting her chance, she crushed her lips onto his own, deepening the kiss between the two of them. Her tongue went into his own mouth, so he did the same thing, tongue kissing the young brown haired woman.
When she pulled back, her face burned red.
"Haruki! When you come back, lets definitely have sex!"
Rias shook her head, Akeno giggled cutely, Asia blushed bright red, Kuroka and Koneko both weren't going to allow that, while Ravel bit her lower lip from saying anything.
"You really do have a naughty mind, don't you?"
"Y-Yes! That's right Haruki! Because of you, I've got naughty thoughts!"
"Because of me huh?" Haruki whispered hungrily, going to her right ear, and began to nibble on the lobe, drawing out a moan from the young woman. "Fufu, maybe when I come back, we could have a good time between us, my cute Ise-chan."
"Y-Yes...I can't wait..."
Haruki chuckled and kissed her ear, sending a shiver of pleasure down her spine as he pulled back.
"If you need me, you have my number and Ravel-chan's. This shouldn't take more than a few days, so see you soon!"
[Goodbye!]
The young girls waved to Haruki and the others as a magic circle erupted around them.
Soon, the light of the circle surrounded them, causing them to disappear.
Once they disappeared, Rias furrowed her brows.
"Akeno, want to go in the sauna?"
"Okay Buchou, lets go~ Maybe we could perform some cute tag teams for when Haruki comes back~"
Akeno's face turned red as she thought about being with Rias in front of Haruki, while Rias looked embarrassed.
Isane murmured "I'm so proud of the harem~" as Koneko shook her head side to side.
She then with the others took off to do what they needed to for that day.
Sometime after that, Haruki didn't want to delay it, so he began to work on getting the Rating Game ready. He also had made contact with Vali, who was more than eager to get the fight on the way as quickly as they could.
Having met up with Serafall also, she was all for seeing the fight between Haruki and Vali.
With Ravel assisting him, the go ahead for the match was the next day, so Haruki began to train one last time, perfecting any techniques that he could do.
Training hard, and strong, he wanted to do his best against Vali.
By the time he was done training, he came across Sairaorg pulling closer.
"Hey, Sairaorg. What's going on?"
"I heard that your match was going to be tomorrow. You don't mind if I watch the events?"
"Of course not. Why would it be an issue?"
"In case I see all your moves, and begin thinking of counters for them?"
Sairaorg offered, but Haruki shrugged his shoulders.
"It's fine if you do see my moves, I'll still not lose when it is time for us to have a fight."
"I like that you're confident but not overconfident. I can't wait for the battle to begin, I heard that even the Maou's are going to attend."
Haruki scratched his cheek.
"Yeah, it seems that they might be. I know that not many people are going to attend, but it is going to be broadcast on Sera-tan's program at a later date for everyone to view. So it isn't an issue if many can't come now."
"Even if it is, the thrill of seeing the fight in real time, I can't wait for it. Especially since I will see the Hakuryuukou in action. I've heard stories, but is she really as powerful as the stories claim that she is?"
Haruki was aware that Sairaorg hadn't witnessed Vali's full power.
He however had seen Vali go all out, and he was even wondering how best to counter, and ultimately defeat her.
"Honestly, she truly is powerful. She'll definitely give me a run for my money when we have a fight. She has tricks up her sleeve, but so do I. I've been thinking of how to fight her for a good long while, and I've got an idea on how the match might go, it just depends on how Vali-chan is going to respond. She isn't the type to fight without showcasing her true power, and her Longinus can be very scary if she uses it correctly."
Sairaorg folded his arms.
"But knowing you, you've got a way to get around that, yes?"
"Hmmm...I might have a trick or two to fight against her Longinus~"
Sairaorg began laughing when hearing that.
"That's the Haruki I know! Tomorrow, show me your true power, alright?"
"I don't think Vali-chan will leave me with much choice, so you can bet I'll show my strongest sides. Just watch Sairaorg-kun, tomorrow is going to be quite the day, for both me, Vali-chan and maybe even you~"
"Hahaha, I don't doubt it. I've always been curious as to what your Balance Breaker is."
"It isn't like you're so up front about your own either, Sairaorg."
Sairaorg didn't refute what he said.
"You're right, if it comes down to it, I will wear my power to fight against you. I guess it would be fortunate since both of our Sacred Gears takes the form of other beings that can fight beside us. I wouldn't mind seeing what crazy powers the Queen of ice can truly do."
"I best be sure not to disappoint then~"
Sairaorg continued laughing as did Haruki.
But, Sairaorg knew this would be a good chance to see what Haruki was currently capable of.
He hadn't seen Haruki go all out before, so this was a very good chance to see that.
The next day, Haruki faced Ravel who was sat on his bed with a tablet in hand, going over the last details before the fight would be happening.
"Haruki-sama, I've just been informed that Vali-sama has arrived."
"I see, she's eager, we've got a few hours yet."
Ravel nodded, as she flipped through some stuff on her tablet.
"Haruki-sama, this match is going to be huge. Can you take Vali-sama?"
"Ravel-chan, I promise to do my best. Before today's end, we'll have a new Queen in the peerage. I'm not gonna lie, it's going to be a hard battle, but I'm determined, and I'll pull out all the stops that I can think of to take her down...sounds weird, but that's how Vali-chan and I do our thing~"
"Hehe...I'm sure that you'll do your best Haruki-sama. I'm supporting you all the way."
Ravel said as she stood up, placing her lips on top of Haruki's own.
Sitting on his lap, Haruki pulled her in as she ran a hand up and down his chest.
Breaking away from each other's lips, Ravel placed her head on his shoulder.
"Haruki-sama, with the Queen in sights, we'll have nearly one of each~ A Queen, Bishop, and Rook. Anymore plans Haruki-sama?"
"Plus there's Asia-chan who also expressed a desire to join."
"Yes, I remember. Twilight Healing would be a huge asset to our group! Having two Longinus', Twilight Healing, me a Phenex, and even Koneko-san a powerful Nekoshou and possibly even Kuroka-sama as well, the group is truly forming a good group!"
"Indeed~ Also, I do have another person in mind."
Ravel blinked rapidly, she truly was interested.
"Who Haruki-sama?"
"Le Fay-chan, I've been studying her, and she's a really strong magician. She has mastered a few good magic's, and even knows some forbidden spells."
"Le Fay-sama...yes, she could be a very huge asset, I'll begin doing some more research immediately Haruki-sama!"
"Fufu, I always can count on you, my adorable Ravel-chan."
Ravel smiled brightly.
This is all she had wished for.
Being useful to Haruki, and to fulfil her own dreams by being beside someone that was going to make true changes.
An hour before the fight was going to begin, Haruki laid down on his bed and prepared mentally. He already had done physically, and knew that this was the only way for him to do it now.
He thought of all the things Vali could do, what tricks she might have up her sleeve.
However, while waiting, the door opened and revealed Serafall.
"Haru-chan, there you are. I thought you might have gone already."
"Got sometime yet, thought that I'd relax."
Serafall was hoping that he'd say something like that.
Her legs pushed together for a brief moment, before she pulled away with her hand moving across her right breast.
It was enticing for Haruki to see her doing such things.
Not that he'd argue since Serafall was very beautiful, and his lover now.
"What's on your mind, Sera-tan?"
Serafall hid her lust by showing an innocent smile on her lips.
"Just thinking about what's going to happen in about an hour from now. You have an hour Haru-chan, free time."
"Seems that I do."
He teased her, believing he understood what was on her mind, since he also thought about the amount of time that they had.
"Haru-chan, it seems that you're ready?"
"Yeah, I can't do anymore than I have done. Whatever the results, let them come."
"I see, then..." Serafall began to undo her top, revealing the top portion of her breasts to Haruki's eyes. "...I think that as your King, I should give you a little happiness before you go and have your massive fight with Vali-chan."
Haruki watched as she dropped her shirt off on the ground.
Soon followed by her skirt, and panties, so she stood before him, naked.
"Fufu, my cute King. You truly do know how to make me feel happy~"
Serafall smacked her lips, as she walked to the bed.
Getting on top of Haruki, she placed a hand on his chest, pushing him onto the bed.
Climbing on top, she peered down at his clothed body.
"My cute Haru-chan, let me ease your heart, before you fight..."
Serafall bent lower, and laid a kiss on his lips, while also beginning to undo his own shirt...
After she had her special time with Haruki, and the time came soon after, she spilt up from Haruki, Serafall went to go the viewing area. She saw that as she got there, Sirzechs had already arrived. The other two Maou's were stationed in the background, looking on with keen interest.
Ravel and Kuroka also had already arrived, with Millicas sat close to them.
Sairaorg was sat together with his Queen and some of his peerage, because he was intrigued to see what was going on with Haruki.
Sitting down nearby Kuroka, Serafall looked on.
"It's sad Sona-chan and the others can't see this, busy with whatever they're doing~ But, we'll record the match so we can show them later on."
Kuroka chuckled awkwardly.
"Yeah, it's a real shame alright."
"So Millicas-chan, you came to support Haru-chan too, right?"
Serafall asked the young boy who shined his smile strongly.
"Yes! I came with Tou-chan who also came to support Onii-chan! I want to see Onii-chan fighting! It is sad that the Devils could only attend this time."
"Yeah...poor Gabriel couldn't come~"
Serafall was happy about that.
But Kuroka then brought out her phone.
"Actually, I'm on the phone to Gabriel-sama right now nyaaa~"
Serafall bit her lower lip, and felt saddened while Kuroka smirked at the tease she gave.
Ravel shook her head, as she turned her eyes to the screen.
"I can't wait to see what's going to happen, Haruki-sama is going to be giving it his all! We will even see his Balance Breaker!"
Kuroka smirked at Ravel.
"You really are into this, aren't you?"
"Of course, this is a match between two Longinus', and two of the strongest users of those Longinus'. A Devil, and human, vs a former Fallen Angel and human now turned Devil, I can't help it, I'm so excited to see where this is going to go."
Sairaorg, who was listening in, folded his arms.
"Indeed, this is going to be the first time I've seen Haruki's Balance Breaker. He doesn't use it unless he needs to use it, or when he wishes to have a fun fight against opponents that wouldn't fall under the power of Balance Breaker too quickly."
"Still, Haruki-sama knows when it is time to get serious, so he'll be doing that when the time comes."
Ravel informed, Serafall licked her lips.
"My Queen is going to be gaining his own Queen. It is like a chain that's getting longer, and stronger. Plus, how cool is it going to be to have two figures that have unique powers united under the same peerage. Absolute Demise, and Divine Dividing..."
"Onii-chan's going to win! I will support Onii-chan to win!"
Millicas cheered out.
The others laughed, and got settled down, ready to watch what was going to happen next.
They all knew it would be an intense battle, but it was a battle they all wished to see.
Having finally arrived on the battlefield, Haruki looked around. Several islands were scattered around them, they were rather large. Filled to the brim with grass, and rocky mountain like shapes, there were all sorts of different islands around. Even some that were just a barren wasteland.
Haruki didn't even know the size of the Rating Game, it was one of the biggest ones that he had ever seen personally.
The Rating Game field itself was also covered in a sea of beautiful looking water as well as landmasses.
The sky was a deep purple colour.
Because it was a Rating Game field, neither had to worry about holding their powers back, and could unleash as much power as they desired. They wouldn't be disturbed by anyone, they could fight for hours and still keep going.
Haruki's eyes looked around, until he finally found who he was looking for.
Vali stood there, hands in pockets, and her eyes fixated upon the young boy before her.
Taking one hand out of her pocket, her hand extended towards Haruki.
"Are you prepared? I wont be holding back, so I expect you not to hold back as well, right?"
Haruki gave a bemused smile as he flicked his hand towards her.
Casually gathering Holy Lightning within his palm, Vali's lips curled upwards at the sight.
"As you said, I wont be holding back either. This is very important to me, this is the fight for me to finally attain my Queen, the one that is going to stand beside me forever. If I can't beat you, then I have no right to be your King."
"Truer words haven't been spoken." Vali pulled her other hand out of her pocket, as a silvery aura surrounded her form. "Then if you want to skip the formalities, shall we get on with the battle at hand?"
Haruki didn't have a complaint, as Grayfia's voice came from the sky.
[Hello everyone. My name is Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory. Today, I shall be arbiter. Though this isn't a true Rating Game, I shall be watching over this match closely. With the opinions of both Haruki-sama and Vali-sama, we designed a field that would suit their needs. Now, it's time for the battle to commence. Match starts, now.]
As soon as Grayfia said it, Haruki flew at Vali in blinding speeds. Those who were watching and weren't used to it, couldn't keep up. Even Ravel who had her eyes focused, couldn't keep up with Haruki's light speed movements, Kuroka looked on and bit her lower lip, even with Senjutsu, she was having trouble keeping up with him.
Just a second later, Vali's arm was extended out, and blocked the incoming strike, which blew a giant hole in the surrounding area. Rubble and rocks floated all around, the hole in the ground was so deep that water from down below began to seep through it.
"G-Geez, that's so fast..."
Ravel murmured, Kuroka narrowed her brows.
Serafall also looked on, and folded her arms as she saw Haruki pull back, Vali releasing a mass of demonic power from her form. The demonic power rose into the air, and surrounded her in a dome shape.
Haruki extended his fingers, and shot off a mass of Holy Lightning for the dome of aura. Clashing together violently, the onlookers saw how the island around them was crumbling due to the release of their powers.
"Now I can see why they wished for a Rating Game field, they aren't holding back this time..."
Serafall muttered, watching her Queens lightning and Vali's aura heavily crashing against one another's. The powers mixing together, creating an expansive blast radius that destroyed the island they were both on, forcing them to fly.
Vali didn't waste time, crossing the distance as she showed her Sacred Gear, Divine Dividing.
"Hmph, have this."
Allowing her hand to extend, she sent a fist full of aura for Haruki who narrowly dodged out of the way, only for Vali to send a barrage of fists for him. Responding to that, Haruki placed his hands out, and created a barrier using magic.
The barriers appeared in the places that Vali's fists would go to.
Using her Longinus, while not in Balance Breaker, could only divide every ten seconds, so she would divide a barrier when she chose to do so.
Each attempt she tried though, Haruki would follow up with an attack that was stun her long enough for his own power to blast her back. Vali wasn't deterred though, in fact she was enjoying the fact that she couldn't reach him.
"Worried about being divided directly?"
"Even if you half my power, I'll show you the other half of my power, and crumble all your defences!"
Vali loved the retort.
Pulling away briefly, she placed a hand towards Haruki, and summoned a magic circle.
Haruki was briefly surprised by her using magic, she summoned a sword of magic and slashed towards him.
Sticking out his hand, he summoned a Holy Lightning sword, and clashed with her own sword of magic, creating a shockwave that blew around their bodies. The waters below thrashed at the intense power they had.
"A sword of magic Vali-chan? You've been keeping that as a surprise, haven't you?"
"I'm sure you've been hiding techniques from me, for this day, haven't you?"
Haruki stuck out his tongue.
"Maybe~"
Haruki watched as the ice doll made her appearance.
She got behind Vali, creating several spheres of ice in the sky. They looked like mini meteors. Vali felt the cold presence, and looked to see the ice Queen herself pointing her fingers for Vali.
"Taking your eyes off me will mean defeat Vali-chan!"
Vali turned to see Haruki sending a foot for her body.
Blocking with her arm, she felt the incredible strength behind his attack, causing even her body to shake as she was flung up into the air, towards the mini ice meteors that came down with a single command from the ice Queen.
Vali grit her teeth, she could see the speed and power of the attacks from the ice doll.
"These kind of spheres could crush many Middle Class Devils, and I know this isn't his strongest move either. He's got several surprises, but so have I."
Vali turned her body, sticking out her hands, summoned a large barrier.
Growing larger and larger, Haruki was intrigued to see what she was planning to do.
He watched as the ice meteors came down, smashing against the barriers. Each one caused the barrier to shake, and shake. Some appeared to have even made cracks within the barrier, but Haruki wouldn't allow her to rest.
He summoned Holy Lightning in the form of giant spears.
The spears were taller than a five story house.
Aiming for Vali, he released them with a flick of his wrist.
Shooting out over ten spears at a huge size, Sairaorg who had been watching quietly, hummed to himself.
"This is the kind of power that I'd expect he'd be capable of unleashing, and he hasn't even gone into Balance Breaker yet. Hahaha! This is the kind of battle I hope our own will come! Even if our Longinus' aren't involved!"
Seeing Sairaorg enjoying himself, Ravel also smiled.
Vali whirled her neck around, seeing the giant spears coming in.
She knew she couldn't take both attacks, which is what made Haruki so deadly, the fact that it wasn't just him, he also had his ice doll with him.
"Not bad Haruki...not bad at all."
Having no choice, she dropped the barrier, and had to evade.
Turning her speed up to the max, she began to evade.
But Haruki and the ice doll moved their hands, as if controlling their attacks via telekinesis, the attacks bent and swerved around, and came back towards Vali after she would dodge out of the way, Vali clicked her tongue as a result.
"So even evading doesn't do anything...fine. I'll have to take out these attacks!"
Vali raised her aura, increasing the amount of power she had.
Allowing it to burn brightly before her, Vali's aura rapidly grew, and exploded out from her.
The giant sphere of power collided with the closest attacks, creating a violent explosion.
No one could see what was going on from behind the smokescreen.
Not even Haruki could see Vali.
When the smoke died down, Vali stood there with a sharp look to her eyes.
"Not even letting up for a second, I'd always believe that you'd be like this in a fight."
Haruki smiled back at her.
"So intense, and they haven't even gone into Balance Breaker yet..."
Kuroka spoke up, Ravel nodding.
"It's them testing the waters, seeing what they're up to at this point, before unleashing more of their deadly attacks."
Ravel watched on, wondering what was going to happen next.
Vali cracked her neck side to side, while Haruki twitched his shoulder.
"As always, that damn ice Queen can use her powers to freeze my powers. Is there anything you can't freeze?"
"Hmmm, not sure. I haven't seen anything I can't freeze yet."
Vali smirked upon hearing that.
"Are you tired of the kid gloves yet?"
"Ooh, I thought it was you who was intentionally holding back on me Vali-chan~"
He teased, Vali laughed at the tease.
"If you want more power, all you had to do was ask." Vali spread her arms out, and increased the aura around her as he, and Vali landed on an island. "Balance Break."
Vali murmured, and allowed her power to extend around her.
A snow white armour formed around her, beautifully dazzling the eyes of those that looked upon it. The bright blue wings from Divine Dividing grew larger and larger, growing to the point that they truly did look majestic in Haruki's eyes.
The armour was form fitting, showing off her body, but still looked like it gave heavy protection at the same time. Jewels scattered around the armour, shining in different beautiful colours. Her hands looked slightly pointed as if they were claws.
Vali's power grew even more thanks to wearing the Scale Mail, Haruki could feel the waves of power she was leaking off.
She had the power to truly press him, so Haruki knew that he wouldn't have a choice but to awaken it.
"My, oh my, staring at you like this Vali-chan, is so...hot."
Licking his lips, Haruki threw his head back as Vali stomped on the ground, breaking a good chunk of the ground with a single stomp.
"Now that I'm like this, if you don't reveal your own Balance Breaker, I'll be annoyed."
Haruki chuckled as a response.
"Fufu, alright then my cute Vali-chan. Showing me your power like this, I'll show you my own." Haruki summoned the ice doll to his side, and placed a hand on her face as she did the same thing with him. "Did you hear? It seems we get to release our power again against this naughty Vali-chan~" Haruki's eyes went towards Vali, and smacked his lips together. "Check this out...Balance Break."
As soon as he said it, an ungodly wave of fog erupted out from his body and the ice doll at the same time.
The cloud of fog began to freeze anything that it would touch.
Even Vali felt the chill within her armour, seeing some ice creeping up her form.
Releasing some power broke the ice off, but it didn't escape the fact that she could still feel slightly cold, even in her armour.
She looked to Haruki, seeing the ice growing across his skin.
Growing into a thicker and sturdier shape around him, it formed a beautifully white armour that resembled a Holy Knight from ancient times, yet at the same time gave off the feeling of an Unholy Knight, conflicting and feeling worry at the same time as feeling reassurance depending on who was looking at him.
Spikes of ice grew up from the legs, and arms. Around his head, a helmet of ice covered his face, his eyes seemed to glow a beautiful white from the eye openings at the front, and on the top of his head, looked to be a crown of ice that seemed just as spiky as the other ice on his body.
The ice doll also gained a similar structure around her, gaining a crown and sharp lightning like streaks going down her regal dress. The dress itself turned into something that looked like an armoured wedding dress, with a crystal pendant hanging down that looked to be a mixture of a snow drop and a lightning bolt, signifying their union together.
Leaking off of both of them was an icy mist, that began to freeze everything around them. The ground, the sky, the water, within a limited range, froze entirely.
Even Vali, from such a distance, could feel how cold Haruki was.
She was breathing out, and her breath was creating a fog.
From within the armour, she was shivering. Using her aura didn't dispel the shiver, all she could do was make sure she kept up the power so she didn't freeze completely. A lesser being would freeze almost immediately, she was interested to see how others would handle this level of freezing power, for now though she was going to have to handle it.
The name of the Balance Breaker was Utopia Frost Regalia. Otherwise known as The Ideal Kingdom of the Frozen Royalty, referencing both Haruki and Absolute Demise united together, and creating their own world of beautiful ice.
Haruki spread out his arms, and turned his eyes towards Vali's own.
"Does the cold bother you Vali-chan~? Because it never bothers me anyway~" The ice doll looked towards Haruki with lidded eyes, he chuckled as a response. "I'm sorry, but I had to make a Frozen Reference, didn't I?"
The ice doll shrugged her shoulders, while Serafall yelled out "Yes! Yes!" wildly, scaring a few people around.
Sweeping his hand out, a wave of fog erupts outwards, and froze the area. Flash freezing it, Vali felt the ice growing all across her form, so she released her aura, but the ice kept growing and growing across her armour, she felt the cold sinking through her armour and freezing even her skin.
The onlookers were shocked.
Sirzechs was surprised to see such a power being shown.
Now he could see why they wanted their own arena to fight.
Releasing his Balance Breaker was dangerous if not properly controlled.
"So this is the power of Absolute Demise in its Balance Breaker. I must say, the beauty of the Balance Breaker, and the terrifying aspect of it fits Haruki-kun perfectly. The armour looks like royalty, yet the spikes show the hidden dangers that could pierce those that are his enemies."
Serafall who was close by, agreed.
"Yup, that's how it is. The beauty Haru-chan has inside, and the terrifying destructive power he will unleash if someone crosses him. I think this is the best Balance Breaker for Haru-chan, and he hasn't even shown his scariest powers yet. Even those that have powerful Dragon flames would freeze under this. Even getting close to Haru-chan in this form, if he chooses not to allow you close, will freeze. And touching him, you better pray you are able to resist the cold...I wish he would sing Let it Go sometime...but, that's okay for now~"
Sirzechs was surprised.
He wished to know even more than ever before.
Sairaorg looked towards Haruki's Balance Breaker, and towards Vali, seeing her armour was even freezing.
"The fact he could do it with a simple wave of his hand, I understand now the power he's honed for all these years. The training he was doing, all preparing for these stronger enemies. The Hakuryuukou is indeed strong, so I'm interested to see how she's going to get out of the ice. Even I am having some trouble on wondering what my counter attack would be...could my Touki assist me? But, even if I did that, he'd freeze my Touki, so I'd have to use that as a sacrifice to protect my own Balance Breaker."
Sairaorg thought to himself, stroking his chin as he watched was going to happen next.
Serafall smiled as she saw Haruki moving together with the ice doll, who was in turn dancing like they were in a ballroom. Sliding across the ground frozen underneath their feet, skating to the degree that even Vali was surprised they could move so well on the ice.
"I've only seen this form a handful of times against truly strong opponents." Ravel informed. "If Haruki-sama is using this form, then that means he isn't going to hold back. It's a Balance Breaker that can shape the world around him into a dangerous icicle hell."
Kuroka began chortling.
"Isn't this what you, as his peerage member, would want to see, Ravel-chan?"
Ravel didn't deny it.
"You're not wrong, Haruki-sama is displaying his worth as a Queen of Maou, and my King all in one. The power that can even freeze the fires of hell, it's terrifying and beautiful. They look so much like King and Queen...but the dangerous aspects of the ice is going to be a deciding factor, how Vali-sama is going to counteract it..."
"Yes Onii-chan! Go! Go Onii-chan! Wow, she also looks really cute! Is she getting married to Onii-chan? Onii-chan is her Knight, and she's his Queen! It's so nice~"
Millicas kept cheering again and again.
Sirzechs smiled for Millicas' happiness as Haruki placed his hand out.
"My Queen, do it."
As soon as he said it, the Queen of ice began to dance around. Swirling her body, she span around rapidly and began to release snow and icy winds. Running through the area, and going into the sky.
Vali felt even more cold from that action alone.
Each snow drop that landed on her, she felt it running through her body.
She saw all around her, the different islands around, were being caked in snow and ice.
"Hell's Blizzard, like it Vali-chan?"
Vali felt the chills running through her.
Her body was feeling numb, even from underneath her armour.
The ice was growing across her arms and legs, the deadly technique that would freeze people down to the core, if Vali didn't release a wave of power from her, destroying the ice, but she still could see that more ice was being added.
If she didn't have her armour on, she knew she'd freeze within a few seconds. Even if she had her power around her, she knew that she'd still freeze eventually, the cold was something that Haruki seemingly had been focusing upon.
"Rise my adorable soldiers!"
From the frozen ground, soldiers of ice grew. Looking like Haruki albeit with thinner frames than he had, they each turned their blades valiantly onto Vali.
Wielding swords, and looking deadly, Haruki cupped his hands together.
"Increase the speed with the Knights power!"
Imbuing them with his power, the soldiers shot off at super speed.
"They can even be imbued with his Queen piece powers?"
Sairaorg murmured, Serafall smirked.
"My cute Haru-chan's been honing his Balance Breaker for years, he's polished it to a high degree. I'd say that he probably is the strongest Absolute Demise user, past, present and future, exactly like the Hakuryuukou!"
Even Vali was surprised by how fast they could move, so she moved her hands, and shot off multiple spheres of demonic power.
But the soldiers dodged out of the way of them, getting in close, and swung for her body.
"Half Dimension!"
Waving her hands out, she began to shrink the area around her, causing the soldiers in turn to halve their size, which in turn allowed Vali to slam her hands forward, crumbling the ice warriors bodies, however that didn't stop Haruki from getting in close.
She raised a barrier, but even without Haruki using any power, just by being close, the barrier began to freeze.
"Damn it...even this far and it freezes..."
Vali murmured as Haruki thrusted his hand outwards, smashing through the barrier and carried it on towards Vali's face.
Before his fist landed, the aura of ice already began freezing the armour, making it brittle by the time his fist reached her face, shattering the armour, landing a direct attack on the girls face, ice growing across her cheek as she went flying backwards.
Gasps came from the ground as Vali flew through the air, before she twirled around, and came to a stop.
She felt her cheek freezing, and even received a cut.
She allowed her aura to destroy the ice before it could reach any further into her being, and her armour regrew.
Turning her hands towards Haruki, she unleashed a massive amount of aura in the form of giant spheres. Thanks to her Balance Breaker, her power naturally increased, allowing more volumes of power coming down onto Haruki.
"Have this!"
Vali's strong waves of power came down like falling stars, each with the destructive power that would kill High Class Devils with ease. Even Ravel who was strong in her own right believed that if she was hit with all of them, then she'd be crumbled despite her regeneration, showing that Vali truly wasn't going to be holding back at all.
"Holy Freezing Lightning!"
Haruki announced, and allowed his fingers to go up to the sky.
From his extended fingers, lightning that was dense and white coated in mist shot out.
Slamming against Vali's spheres, the ice and lightning worked together. Hitting them with ice, freezes them upon impact, then the lightning's destructive power would shatter the frozen structure. Faster than when he wasn't in Balance Breaker, it looked instantaneously for most, and caused Vali's powers to crumble.
The shots came for Vali, who extended her wings, making them grow larger, and created a field before her.
[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!]
Releasing that again and again as it came close, she caused the power to half before hitting her.
But even then, the power was great and cause blow some holes in her armour, so Vali retaliated with her own power, shooting down towards Haruki at speeds many couldn't comprehend. But at the same time, Vali felt her body freezing from the continuous blizzard that the ice doll was releasing and slowing down her movements just enough so her reactions were delayed enough.
Getting to Haruki, she placed her hand up, only to see that ice was already covering it.
The double ice from Haruki and the blizzard of the ice doll made it hard to move in close quarters combat with Haruki.
"Even if you're freezing me, did you think I'd stop for even a second?!"
But she didn't allow herself to be deterred, and sent a barrage of strong fists for Haruki's form.
Forming ice barriers as they came close, more so if Vali tried to divide him directly than receiving damage, Vali did [Divide!] each time she hit the ice barrier, and broke it down, but had to use her aura to keep the ice from overwhelming her armour and flesh inside.
Haruki retaliated, and sent his own strong attacks against her.
She used her own magic to block the attacks but the ice froze the barriers, shattering them and reached her form, blowing chunks in her armour, and delivering direct blows to her body, but thanks to Vali's quick thinking, she was able to keep the worst case scenario from happening.
"It's difficult getting so close to him." Ravel spoke up with Sairaorg paying close attention. "The ice will always freeze you, even if you're stronger than Haruki-sama. Even if it takes less effort for stronger beings to break through it, they'd still have to waste power doing that. Then there's Haruki-sama and his ice Queen also fighting you."
Sairaorg rubbed his chin in deep thought.
"I see, so for many up close and personal fighters, Haruki who's also a master of hand to hand combat, can destroy the enemies defence and offence all in one, keeping them always using their power. Even stronger enemies, did you say?"
"Yes, even stronger enemies would have to be wary of Haruki-sama in this form." She replied aloud, then went deep into her thoughts. "To defeat Haruki-sama, you need to be quick. Even an immensely powerful opponent with Haruki-sama, their powers will dwindle the longer they're in the freezing cold temperatures. Using it constantly to make sure you don't straight up freeze. One slip up, could spell the end for the opponents. It's terrifying how Haruki-sama fights in his Balance Breaker, as his peerage member I'm so proud to see how strong he can truly be, and how versatile he can be at the same time."
As she thought about it, Kuroka twirled her hair.
"So, Haruki-chan's won then?"
To her astonishment, Ravel shook her head.
"No matter how you look at it, the fact Vali-sama is moving so fast despite the ice freezing her is incredible and shouldn't be looked down upon at all. Haruki-sama might have an advantage, but I'd not count Vali-sama out yet either. Her years of fighting Haruki-sama will naturally allow her to adapt to the cold to a certain extent, but she wouldn't adapt fully to the cold. Even then, this fight could still go many ways, we have to wait and see what is going to happen next."
They watched as Vali pulled away, panting as the armour fixed itself around her.
Tightening her cold hands, Vali inhaled and exhaled, before she flew forward.
Releasing bursts of her aura, she kept the ice off of her as she gained closer and closer ground to Haruki.
When appearing before him, he went to shoot off a highly destructive power for her, when she directed her hands forward.
[Half Dimension!]
Using the ability around Haruki, she shrunk the aura he had surrounding him, the frost that could freeze her, she made an opening for herself, Haruki was surprised she had concentrated on that, but at the same time she understood how that could benefit her.
She then sent her attack for Haruki's body, Haruki tried to intercept with his own power, when Vali thrust her arm towards it, tanking the shot which broke through her armour, but Vali managed to land a devastating blow to his abdomen, blowing right through Haruki's armour albeit with difficulty, and caused Haruki to bleed, as did Vali's arm that had been hit with Holy Lightning.
Backing off, Haruki looked down at his bleeding stomach, which was frozen up, stopping the bleeding, then the armour regrew as did Vali's own, though she felt her arm being affected by the holy power of Haruki's attack.
"I bled, Vali-chan...wow, it seems you were able to counter my attack despite only seeing it for a short while. I guess you are a genius Lucifer, exactly why I'd want you in my group Vali-chan! You aren't going to stop now, right?!"
Vali smirked under her mask, feeling the intensity that he released, and did her own passionate voice.
"Fufu, you know that I'd not stop, this is one of the most exhilarating battles I've had in such a long time! I wont be stopping now!"
Vali and Haruki smirked at the other, enjoying the thrill of their fight.
However, Vali, seeing how they were seemingly evenly matched, turned her eyes towards Haruki.
"This match is going to drag until there is no clear winner. So, rather than do that, show me your true power as I'm going to show you mine."
"If you're saying that...then you're going into Juggernaut Drive aren't you?"
Vali smirked under her mask, and placed her arms together, as she began to chant. An aura flowed around her, a silvery bright aura at that.
"I, who am about to awaken, am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God. I envy the "infinite" and I pursue the "dream". I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy and I shall take you to the limits of white paradise. Juggernaut Drive!"
Haruki watched as Vali's form changed. Growing larger in her armour, she took on a more Dragon like appearance. Claws formed on her hands, the jewels of her armour also grew, and her helmet looked more dragonic in appearance.
Haruki could feel the waves of power that she was releasing.
It was truly unleashing all of the Heavenly Dragons power.
However, he knew there was a drawback.
If she stayed in this form too long, she would start to lose her sanity.
Fortunately, she could stop that with her large demonic reserves.
Yet at the same time, Haruki knew she wouldn't be in this form for long.
"So, that's the famous Juggernaut Drive..."
Ravel murmured as she stared at Vali.
Kuroka folded her arms.
"The Heavenly Dragons power...it's causing the dimension they're in to begin shaking."
Serafall cupped her hands.
"Come on Haru-chan, I know you've got one last trick up your sleeve...you have to have something..."
Haruki clutched his hands together, looking at the new form Vali had.
He knew he would have to risk it all if he was going to defeat Vali.
"Fufu, as I am, the Heavenly Dragons power will overcome my own." Haruki began as his Queen of ice landed beside him, grabbing his hand. "You've come to my side even now..." The ice doll allowed her hand to cup his face, Haruki smiled knowing what she was saying without saying a word. "My Queen, I need all of your power."
The doll of ice placed her head against his own.
"Lets come together my King and beat the Hakuryuukou."
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard the ice doll speak for the first time.
Even people like Ravel, and Kuroka hadn't ever heard her speak before.
"Holy shiiiii...sugar, she can speak?!"
Kuroka corrected herself since Millicas was in the room.
Ravel looked astonished, folding her arms.
"I knew she spoke to Haruki-sama, but I hadn't ever heard her voice before. She sounds like a Queen in her voice..."
"She's got a really beautiful voice~"
Serafall sang out, while Sairaorg furrowed his brows.
"If she's letting us hear her voice, it means she's conserving all of her power now, and allowing everything to be compressed for Haruki's sake."
Ravel hummed.
"If he's resulting to this, then Haruki-sama knows that's the only way to counter Juggernaut Drive is to take all of the power from the ice doll...but even then, can he combat the power of Juggernaut Drive? Haruki-sama...please push beyond your limits..."
While they spoke, Haruki's smile grew on his face.
"Fufu, you're letting others hear your voice? Have you come out of the shy side?"
"I only wish for you, my King, to hear my voice. I'll believe in you, my King. Her Juggernaut Drive is something she can't maintain for long, we have a chance of victory. Her power might be grand, but we've prepared for stronger enemies...it's a reason for our Balance Breaker...she'll have to fight many fronts of our attack."
"Yes, I was thinking the same, Demise-chan."
Haruki pulled out his tongue as auras surrounded the pair of them. Clasping hands together, the aura shot up high into the sky, and began rewriting the weather. Creating a natural blizzard around the pair of them, the snow swam as Haruki and the ice doll, as their powers combined together, with Vali watching to see how they truly were giving it their all.
"So you are going all out then?"
"This is my only way to beat you like this, Vali-chan, by combining my power with hers fully, and even then, the power of a Heavenly Dragon truly is something amazing to see, I wonder if I can fight the power of a Heavenly Dragon? But, I'm dying to find out."
Vali understood perfectly, and was glad to see his power.
"I see, so a last ditch effort, I can see that quite well. I'm pleased you're revealing this to me."
"You wanted my best, right? This is it."
"That's right...now lets do it."
Vali began charging up a sphere of aura before her. Combining Dragon aura, and demonic power all into one. The power from the mixing energies, turned it towards Haruki. The dimension vibrated as her power was off the charts.
So Haruki did the same thing.
Mixing ice and Holy Lightning into a sphere before him, he charged his power together with the ice doll thrusting her hands up which caused the dimension to also begin vibrating.
Two colossal powers emanating such aura, Sirzechs grit his teeth, and left the room.
Kuroka looked at him, while Ravel furrowed her brows.
"I wonder if Sirzechs-sama is going to go and stabilize the dimension so it doesn't collapse?"
Serafall nodded.
"That's what he's gone to do, so they don't have to worry about that."
Ravel watched as Haruki plus ice doll and Vali's concentrated power, turned on one another.
Unleashing their attacks at the same time, Haruki and Vali's powers crumbled the places they stood, so they had to fly as they made contact.
A huge explosion of power came between their clashing powers, battling for dominance.
Both Vali and Haruki plus ice doll pushed their powers into the attack, struggling further and further. The ice froze some of Vali's power, and the lightning destroyed it, but Vali in turn used her Divide power to take some of Haruki's power away, and crush that. The ice also spread through Vali's Dragon armour, and froze her body, so she had to waste energy breaking through that, which also drained her since she had to use her demonic power to maintain her sanity, which she knew Haruki was using to combat her with.
Their power equaled one another's to the point that neither was winning in their struggle, which Serafall thought was amazing since Juggernaut Drive was said to be able to fight Gods and Satan's, seeing Haruki's full power being able to even fight that alone told her that Haruki truly had grown strong.
The dimension began to crumble because of their powers. Holes in space formed, and their surroundings were being destroyed. The waters, the lands, the skies, all of it was being obliterated before their eyes.
"Wow...this is the true power of Vali-sama and Haruki-sama...combining together, there's little many enemies could do...Haruki-sama's power...yes, he's being very smart right now."
"How so?"
Kuroka wondered.
"Vali-sama's Dragon power is indeed great...but, remember when I talked about Balance Breaker before? Haruki-sama's attack is also freezing her body right now, the ice is growing across the armour and no doubt within, she's having to use her energies to keep herself from freezing completely, while Juggernaut Drive already takes massive amounts of demonic power to maintain safely which is draining her massive attack which is also being crumbled by Haruki-sama's ice and Holy Lightning, he's using a combination of brain and brawn to fight Vali-sama! I'm so proud to be on Haruki-sama's peerage and for him to be my King~"
Ravel shed a happy tear, while Serafall was proud of her Queen. Fighting a Heavenly Dragon was something of a massive challenge, but Haruki was smart, he always had plans and used his power against even stronger opponents. Haruki wasn't a slouch though, and through a combination of power and the mind, Serafall believed he could actually win this fight.
As Serafall thought about it, Kuroka smirked.
"I see, so that's his plan to beat the her...that's really a smart move to make. That's gonna be my baby's Tou-chan~"
Sairaorg gave a bemused look, but at the same time, did wonder what he was going to do now against Haruki.
He needed a plan to fight him and win.
"So, this is the current power of the Hakuryuukou and Absolute Demise user..."
Ajuka mumbled out, his keen eyes dancing between the two of them.
Thanks to Sirzechs, the dimension didn't break down, but even Sirzechs was surprised by the power he needed to make sure it didn't break down completely.
Their attacks ended after a powerful explosion ripped through the dimension, flinging the pair of them back from the massive shockwave.
"Onii-chan! I can't see at all! Is he okay?!"
Kuroka placed a hand on top of Millicas' worried head.
"Ooh don't worry, remember the retirement system is there if they get too endangered nyaaa."
"Y-Yes, you're right...but, still..."
Ravel smiled as she leaned forward.
"Millicas-sama, please don't worry, Haruki-sama is going to show his strongest sides right now, and so did Vali-sama. Let us see what is going to happen now, and whatever does, we can be proud of both of them today for such a strong match."
Millicas nodded while putting his small hands together.
Sairaorg also wished to see what was going to happen next.
After their final attack, the pair of them floated in the ocean that was left, which more resembled a pond now due to their powers.
Both had lost their Balance Breakers, both had many wounds across their bodies, and both still had the fierce determination not to retire from the game between them.
Blood soaked through their clothes, their wounds obvious on their bodies. Cuts, gashes, deep enough for them to be true problems if they weren't treated right away.
Haruki felt the ice doll, even now with her exhausted powers, supporting his body by closing the wounds with ice the best that she could do, in her semi broken form.
Haruki truly did appreciate it, as she formed a small mass of ice big enough for him to rest on, along with Vali who she collected for Haruki and placed beside him, before she exhausted her powers, and disappeared.
"Thank you..my Demise-chan..."
Haruki whispered, as he turned to Vali, who was just as exhausted as he was.
Vali in turn cast a tired gaze towards him.
"It seems...we've ended our fight in a draw...you actually...fought Juggernaut Drive...hahaha..."
Haruki was glad he could...but, he also wished for Vali to join his group, and if he lost, then she might not join.
"No...I can't just lose this chance...Vali-chan..."
"Heh...that determined...to have me...in your group huh..."
Haruki smiled with blood running down his lips.
"Of course...I've thought...about you since the beginning...because I always...thought we'd...be the best...partners...that's why...I can't...give up...until...you join my peerage..."
"Heh...that's...the determination...I've always...wanted to see...from you. If you...can stand up now...then I'll...I'll join your group..."
"Promise?"
Vali smirked as she felt some pain run through her.
"Yeah..."
Haruki, hearing all he needed to, began pushing his body further and further.
His closed off wounds thanks to the ice began to crack as he turned himself around.
Landing flat on his face, his hands pushed against the ice, as he moved his knees.
Pulling himself up so he was on his hands and knees, his body lifted off the ground.
Feeling the pain running through him, Haruki briefly paused, gritting his teeth, as Vali watched on.
Not allowing that to deter him, Haruki pulled himself further and further up, until he finally stood tall.
Looking over Vali while panting, Haruki saw Vali smile ever so slightly.
"...I can't stand right now, you can...so, you're the winner of our fight, Haruki."
Haruki thrust his hand up, but the fatigue took over him, and he ended up falling onto Vali's right breast, his head resting there.
He fell asleep, as did Vali, falling into a deep slumber.
Many hours later, Haruki's eyes peeled open to see a white ceiling.
Rubbing his eyes, he felt his body was sore, and he felt drained, tired.
He looked around, and saw Vali next to him, still sleeping.
Haruki didn't say a word, and waited for her to wake up, which she did about ten minutes later.
When she looked towards Haruki, a small smirk appeared on her face.
"That fight...Haruki. You didn't disappoint me. I wanted your best...and I got your best. I haven't ever had a fight that exhilarating before. Even fighting Juggernaut Drive...exploiting a weakness of the form and taking advantage of it...I was immensely happy when you did that, it only proved to me you were the right person I had decided to follow."
"Fufu, Juggernaut Drive...that power is truly strong, it was everything I hoped for..."
Vali laughed as she ran a hand through her hair.
"So, I'm your Queen now then?"
"If that's your choice."
"A deals a deal. Besides, I've learned much about you over the years, and your power...is something I want to be beside. I can tell, even if the fights someday run out, I'll never be truly bored when I'm with you. I can always just fight you."
Vali pulled her body up from the bed, as did Haruki.
He got out of the bed, on shaky legs, as he walked to her bed.
Sitting down beside her, his arms went around her, as she did the same thing.
"Vali-chan, what happened in your past, I'll make sure that you get what you want, okay? From that situation, I'll make sure that you get the desired result, even if I have to go and freeze the entire world myself."
Vali's lips curled upwards.
She believed him.
She didn't even have to worry about anything else now.
His mouth and her own pressed together, in a deep sensual kiss between them.
Their tongues met in the fiery heat of their passionate kiss. Haruki felt Vali's hand running across his back, as his own hand placed itself on her right hip.
When they broke apart, Haruki saw Vali's hand pressing itself against his inner thigh.
"Now that you're going to be my Queen Vali-chan, don't worry about fighting strong enemies, I'll make sure that you'll be able to do that. I've gone over the other stuff before, and you're fine with it all, right?"
"Yeah, I know what it means to become your Queen, even if you're the Queen of Leviathan, I understand what I am doing, and I accept it, and can't wait for some of the fun fighting stuff. Now do it, make me your Queen. I can only acknowledge you as my King, the man I respect as a fighter, and someone...that understands me."
She whispered at the end, Haruki summoned his Evil Pieces.
Thanks to the recovery time, he did regain some power back.
He then took out his Queen piece, placing it on Vali's chest.
Vali placed her hand on top of his own as he summoned his demonic power.
"Here we go, Vali-chan."
He began chanting the ritual and allowed his demonic power to wash over her.
Soon, the piece began to enter her chest, sinking through her skin and filling her being.
"Mmmmm~"
Vali felt a surprising pleasurable feeling running through her.
Her eyes became clouded, as she gave him a lustful gaze.
Their lips came together once more, before he pulled back and gave her a bright smile.
"...And that's it, you're my Queen."
The pair fell back onto her bed, her hand cupped his face, staring into his eyes surprisingly lovingly. Her head went towards his chest, grabbing his hand and gently stroked it with her fingers.
Spending a small moment of love between them, neither had to say it, but both appreciated the feelings they had, they were in love with one another, and after their battle, Vali and Haruki couldn't deny that they both were happy right now.
However, that ended when the door flung open. Serafall and Millicas both came shooting in, and hugged Haruki, while Ravel and Kuroka walked in after them. Haruki looked down at the young boy, and Serafall, patting both of their heads.
"Sera-tan, Millicas. It seems you're both affectionate as ever~"
Millicas giggled like a child, as Serafall stuck out her tongue.
"Damn Haru-chan, your powers over ice and lightning are freaking awesome~"
"Thank you, I went all out."
Kuroka, furrowing her brows, moved closer.
"First of all nyaa...the doll can speak?!"
"Yes, she can speak. She chooses not to openly, usually does it in my mind."
"She must have a name, right? What is it?"
Haruki tilted his head.
"She does have a name, she's just shy about me saying it when others are around, so I call her Demise-chan."
Kuroka folded her arms, while Serafall rubbed her hands together.
"Haru-chan, I've been speaking to Le Fay-chan who received the footage of the match, I can say that she's really excited~"
"Heeeh, I'm glad she is~"
While he said it, Ravel looked towards Vali who stared back at her.
"Haruki-sama, can I trust you and Vali-sama have had a talk?"
"We did more than talk, you're looking at your new Queen Ravel-chan."
Serafall and Ravel both gasped, while Millicas cheered.
"Onii-chan, you really made her your peerage member?"
"I did yeah~"
"Then Onii-chan's peerage is going to be really strong!"
Ravel moved closer, as Vali stared at her.
"So you really became Haruki-sama's Queen? You do know that you'll have to-"
"Phenex girl, I'll leave the complicated stuff to you. Tell me the target, and I'll go after it. The stuff Queen's usually do, I'll do if it interests me, the boring paper work you can do if you want."
"O-Oh...that works for me~"
Ravel seemed happy enough.
Haruki looked at the young woman, and then towards Vali.
His fight with Vali, was one of the best fights he had ever had, and afterwards, he gained his Queen by his side. The position that Vali could fill only, he wanted someone strong, someone that could be right beside him, and someone like the Hakuryuukou, he knew he had made the perfect choice for a Queen.
Now, he had to go and put a stop to Kokabiel.
End chapter!
First, I've been getting some suggestions about having Yasaka and Kunou (who's Koneko's age in this story) in the harem which I could see being quite fun to explore, so please vote for that if you're interested!
So, this chapter was dedicated to the fight between Haruki and Vali. They gave it their all, showing their Balance Breaker to each other with Haruki's being revealed for the first time, and even Vali went Juggernaut Drive, while Haruki gained all of the power the ice doll had, allowing him to combat Juggernaut Drive and managed to combat the power with a mixture of his mind and his power, and through fierce determination despite being exhausted, managed to stand when Vali couldn't and won their fight.
Haruki also had a moment with Ravel, and Serafall, the former showing how they're building out the group, and Serafall giving her Queen some of her own encouragement before the match began. Though only a few watched the match live, there will be others who watch it later on.
At the end, Vali became Haruki's official Queen, with both Haruki and Ravel being rather excited.
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
