Shaia 3rd POV

She was enjoying her time in her home. Ever since she joined the order of the Oracle, made after the death of Alexander the Great, she made some great advances in her curing magic. Thankfully, the old man who was in charge didn't know what she did. Because for an oracle to help someone who possess the sacred gear that was in possession of Alexander the Great, who wanted to kill all of them, would be considered an act of treason against the guild, but also against the vow she made. She was about to get a good nap when she heard knocking.

"Who could that be" she wondered with annoyance before opening the door, but she quickly passed from annoyed to scared as an old man with a long white beard was standing in front of her door. She quickly closed the door before composing herself and opened it again "What an honor to see you again Old Sage" she said while sweating bullets "To why do I own this visit?"

"I know" he said, making her pale with fear, he then pointed his finger toward the earth before saying with a dark voice "Kneel" unable to control her action she knelt as she was pushed by a divine power "You helped a conqueror"

"I-I-I didn't d-" she hadn't time to speak as he interrupted her.

"Everyone in the counsel know what you did" he said with a stern voice, shutting her up "Member Shaia, you are banished from the order, forever. You have two days to leave this place, or Lord Zeus will come personally to deal with you" he then left while saying "If you hadn't betrayed us, you could have been in my place in the counsel, what a shame that you acted against our laws"

The dragon, still on her knees, couldn't believe what happened to her. She had to find a place to hide, the order is known to have deadly assassins, remains of the Assassin sect of the Nizari Isma'ili sect, working for them. She has only one choice.

Kumiko 3rd POV

After going to their hideout, Both Vali and Kumiko sighed with relief but also with annoyance. That was really embarrassing for the samurai in that situation.

"Seems like you've laughed for a good time" said Bikou to Lifain.

"You've missed a great moment" laughed Lifain while wiping a tear from her eye.

"Stop thinking about that" ordered Vali "Now"

"Easy, mate" replied Lifain.

"I didn't know that you've already arrived" said Glarion to the three others "I created the items you've asked me to create" he then gave them two identical rings "One have the capacity to redirect all the strength of you attacker to your own power as for the other, it gives you a total immunity to anything during the day and you become ethereal at night" he then smiled at them "It's a good thing that Bikou reminded me of that"

The two looked at him laughing with Lifain next to him.

"Kill!" growled Kumiko as a dark aura was around her.

"I'm afraid that we don't have time" said Arthur as he arrived with a sad Li Niang.

"Are you okay?" Kumiko asked Li Niang while patting her head.

"I-I…" sobbed the girl before crying on Kumiko's chest.

"She must feel bad because she killed a man" concluded Arthur.

"It will take a lot of time, but I'll help her pass that" said Kumiko while hugging Li Niang.

"I just received a message from Azazel" stated Vali "Kokabiel made his move."

"Let's go then," said Kumiko in her Kensei form.

"Wait!" yelled Glarion while presenting a claymore with a white handle and an icy-blue blade to Vali "This sword can slow time for a short period, but it can be fused with the Balance Breaker state of father. With that, you'll be able to summon the sword only by thoughts"

"You seem like you know a lot about that" commented Vali as he took the blade in his hands.

"It's all thanks to my masters; Sindri and Brok" replied Glarious, shocking Lifain who nearly fainted.

"The dwarves who made Thor's hammer?!" She asked with a shocked look on her face.

"Well, they were in the neighborhood and mother gave them some food, in exchange, they taught me a little of their craft" answered Glarious with a smile.

Vali transformed to his Balance Breaker state before seeing the sword disappearing in a blue mist.

'Next time, knight, you won't get me with ease' thought Vali with a smirk.

"Don't forget your wedding rings" joked Bikou, getting a glare from the samurai.

In the end, Vali took the ring which redirect the strength and Kumiko took the one who changes according to the time of the day.

POV-DEVEN

"I'm sorry, could you say that again?"

"I was evicted from my home by people that want to kill me, I need protection."

"So you came to me?"

"Yes, remember you owe me a favor."

*Sigh* "ok fine, you can stay in Tiamats room with her. And If I see either of you fighting, I will not hesitate to act."

"Deven? Quid agit? Quis est?" Kuroka came down.

"Well, it seems you are already harboring a fugitive."

"Kuroka, Hæc est Shaia. Ea enim est una et fregit maledictione mea ".

"Thank you for breaking his curse, but keep your claws off him. He belongs to me and my sister."

"Excuse me?"

"Hush darling" Kuroka pressed herself against him.

Time skip

You could say things are not ok for Deven right now. He was in a very bad situation. Kokabiel has arrived, now this wouldn't be a serious problem for our favorite knight, but currently he was in his balance breaker shielding his injured comrades. He was standing over them, using his shield to stop hundreds of lightspears from hitting them. If he tries to retaliate, Kokabiel would kill them. He could stay like this for a while but not forever. Eventually, his energy will fail and all under his shield will be harmed. Tiamat was unavailable because they wanted a town to protect, not rubble and ash.

"You are soft! If you were not so intent on keeping those ants safe, we could be having a real battle!"

"Quomodo prohibere te quærebant eis mala semper, et ego libenter venerunt calcitráre asinus tuus, et illic!"

"You can't keep this up forever! You will fall eventually"

"Senpai! I have an Idea" Koneko said.

"What is it?"

"Issei-senpai can boost himself and transfer the energy to you"

"Yeah! Will that work Ddraig?"

*it is unlikely, but it's worth a shot*

"It will take some time though."

"I can hold it just hurry up, this isn't exactly fun"

Some time had passed, Kokabiel increased the intensity. The plan was ready.

*EXPLOSION*

*TRANSFER*

"Oh?" Kokabiel lifted a brow in interest.

Deven began to push back, walking slowly. He was outlined in green. Once he was close enough, He lunged forward and hit Kokabiel with his shield. Kokabiel stumbled back and laughed.

"Interesting, you managed to reach me"

Deven tried several times to shlash at the Cadre but they were dodged or blocked by his own lightsword. It was comical because Deven was at least 5 feet taller than Kokabiel in his armor. Behind Kokabiel, the barrier shimmered, but neither noticed. They were locked in a contest of strength. "RRRAAAAHHHH" "GAAGHHH" There was a flash of steel and a splash of blood.

Cliffhanger, sorry not sorry. R&R
