"Yes. Keep him there like that."
"Let's end this"
Xenovia and Yukio suddenly called, the former held the holy-sword in her left-hand, and put her right-hand in the air while Yukio held Amonusen in his left in the air.
"Saint Peter. Saint Basil the Great. Saint Denis. Holy-mother Mary. Please hear my voice." Xenovia started to chant, Yuuto wondering what she was doing as the space before him got distorted. Xenovia putting her hand in the middle of it and pulled something right out of the dimensional gap. What appeared was a single sword that gave out a holy aura.
"In the names of the saints whom reside within this blade, I will release it. Durandal!"
"Unseal and Devastate, blade of the Dark Knight…Amonusen!" Yukio called, the crimson clothe that covered his large cleaver sword retracted from around the blade to reveal the black blade with a silver edge, a look of relief on Yukio's face as he'd not been sure it would've worked despite Sparda's assurances.
"A Durandal!? Amonusen unsealed!?"
"You were not the wielder of the Excalibur!?"
Not just Balba, even Kokabiel couldn't hide his astonishment as they focused on Xenovia who smirked as she spoke "Wrong. I was originally the wielder of Durandal. I was also chosen as the holder of the Excalibur. That's all."
Xenovia stood into a two-sword style stance with Durandal and the Excalibur as Balba spoke "Absurd! According to my research, we haven't reached the stage where someone can wield Durandal!?"
"Of course. Even in the Vatican, they haven't made someone who can wield Durandal artificially."
"Then why!?"
"Unlike those common artificial holy-sword wielders like Irina, I'm a natural born wielder." Balba became speechless at Xenovia's words.
"Durandal is a sword that ravages beyond what people can imagine. It cuts anything it touches. It doesn't even listen to me most of the time. That's why I have to keep it in another dimension, otherwise it would be dangerous. Even I, the holder, have a hard time with it. Now, Freed Zelzan. Thanks to you, we can have the decisive battle between Excalibur and Durandal. Right now, I'm shaking with enjoyment. Don't die in a single strike okay? At least use the Excalibur to its fullest!"
"Takes a strong will to keep Amonusen in check while it's unsealed but it seems to recognise me as a worthy wielder now" Yukio spoke with a smile as the blade of Durandal started to give out more holy-aura than the Excalibur Freed held, surpassing that of Yuuto's Holy-demonic sword, Amonusen's aura growing as if to match the Holy sword.
"Is that even allowed!? It became a situation like this! You shitty bitch! I don't need any of that for this setting!" Freed shouted and moved his killing intent to Xenovia, an invisible slash launched towards her.
With a single side slash, the Excalibur shattered. Because of the pressure given by the swing of Durandal, there was a big hole in the school field.
"So it's just a broken holy-sword, huh. It can't even compete with my Durandal." Xenovia made a sigh while looking bored.
"Are you serious!? Are you really serious!? The legendary Excalibur-chan is shattered into pieces!? Horrible! This is really horrible! Kaaaa! Was it wrong to use something that was broken from the start? The shallowness of humans. The foolishness of the Church. I want to grow up while taking a glimpse of it!"
Blood launched from out of a slash as Yukio appeared a good distance behind Freed. The priest's killing intent becoming weak as Yuuto charged at him. Freed tried to block the attack with the remains of his Excalibur but the remains of Excalibur crumbled and shattered.
"Did you see it? Our powers have surpassed Excalibur." Yuuto spoke as he cut down Freed who fell down as blood came from his wounds.
Yuuto gripped his Holy-demonic sword hard and looked up to the sky with an inexpressible look, having lost his aim for his life.
"Ho…Holy-demonic sword…? Impossible… The polar opposite of two things cannot merge…" Balba spoke as he made a strong expression, Yuuto realising that he hadn't finished yet as he turned to the old man.
"Balba Galilei. Prepare yourself." He pointed his Holy-demonic sword at him and tried to slash at him to end things.
"…I see! I understand now! Holy and demonic. It will be an explanation, if the beings that represent the two become unbalanced! Then not only the Maou but the God has also…" Balba started before a spear of light pierced through his chest. Balba went down after throwing a solid amount of blood, Yuuto going up to him to confirm his state and see that he had already passed away.
"Balba. You were remarkable. The reason you went up to that conclusion proves that. But, I don't mind whether you are with me or not. I could have done it by myself from the beginning." Kokabiel sneered.
"Hahahaha! Kahahahahahahahaha!" Kokabiel laughed loudly and landed on the ground, an overwhelming pressure along with an intense aura and confidence while smiling fearlessly as he said
"Increase the power of Sekiryuutei and transfer it to someone else."
Rias got enraged from Kokabiel as she retorted "Are you trying to give us a chance!? Don't mess around!"
"Don't mess around? Hahaha. You guys are the ones who are messing around. Do you guys think you can defeat me?" Kokabiel replied
"…Yukio. Activate your Sacred Gear." Rias called, Yukio appearing next to her as he started to power up
[Boost!]
Along with the mechanical sound, a red light emanated from his Sacred Gear.
A few minutes passed and no one had moved a single step as they waited for Yukio's boost.
"…It's here!" Yukio spoke as his gauntlet emitted a brighter light. The boost had probably reached the limit
"Now… Who will you transfer it to?" Kokabiel asked with an interested voice, Rias putting her hand up to the fallen's question
"Yukio!"
"Right!" Yukio replied, moving Amonusen to his right hand as he grasped Rias' hand with his left before starting the transfer. The others noticing the aura of trust and unspoken love that they had towards each other as the light on the jewel passed onto Rias, the red aura that covered her body increased drastically.
"Fuhahaha! Good! That flow of demonic power! The demonic-power I can feel right now is that of an ultimate-class devil. A little bit more then you would reach that of a Maou, Rias Gremory! Looks like you have a talent equal to that of your brother's!" The fallen-angel leader laughed; his expression one of ecstasy.
"Blow awaaaaaaaaay!" Rias shouted as she launched the highest amount of demonic power which was covered in her power of destruction. It made a shock wave that felt like it shook the ground, and the powerful shot was heading towards Kokabiel who put both hands in front of him to try and deflect it.
"Interesting! Interesting indeed, Maou's sister!"
On Kokabiel's hand, the energy of the fallen angels, the power of light gathered before he took Rias' shot head on. His expression surpassed that of a normal one and looked dreadful.
"Nuuuuuuuuuun!" Rias' shot started to get pushed back, and started to lose its shape, Rias breathing raggedly from the amount of demonic power she'd used
"Lightning!"
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Akeno sent the lightning towards Kokabiel who was concentrating on Rias' attack, Yukio attacking from another side with his large red slash of Reiatsu. Both of there attacks dissipated with a movement of Kokabiel's wings.
"Will you stand in my way!? Sekiryuutei and the one who inherited her power from Barakiel!?"
"…Do not put me in the same group as him!"
Akeno spoke enraged as her eyes widened, continued to use lightning but they were all deflected by Kokabiel's wings.
Kokabiel laughed loudly after nullifying Buchou's attack completely.
"For you to become a devil! Hahaha! You have pleasant servants, Rias Gremory! Sekiryuutei and Dark Knight Descendant! The left-over of the Holy-sword project who reached Balance-Breaker! And the daughter of Barakiel! You have weird tastes, just like your brother!"
"I won't forgive you for insulting my brother…our Maou! More than that, the insults you made to my servants will require your life!" Kokabiel laughed with his nose at Rias' anger. He then said provokingly,
"Then try to destroy me! Maou's sister! The owner of "Welsh Dragon"! Crimson-hair Ruin Princess! The one whom you are up against is someone who has been an arch-enemy of the devils since a long time ago! If you don't see this as a chance, then your reputation will be looked down on!"
Xenovia, who was behind Yuuto, moving past him as she muttered to him "We will attack at the same time."
After hearing that, Yuuto also moved ahead, giving a look to Yukio to see him nod in agreement as they readied themselves before going to slash at Kokabiel.
Xenovia's slash was blocked by a sword of light created by Kokabiel as he spoke
"Hmph! Durandal huh! Unlike the Excalibur that was already broken once, that light is the real thing! Buuuuut!"
The air shook, and there was a buzzing in those that were nearby ears. Kokabiel emitting an air wave from his other hand and made Xenovia's body float before kicking her in the stomach.
"Gaa!" Xenovia cried as she flew back.
"It depends on the wielder. Girl! You still can't control Durandal! The previous wielder was someone who had unrivaled strength!"
Xenovia adjusted her stance in the air and landed on the ground before going to slash at him once again Yuuto and Yukio also continued slashing towards him at the same time.
"Kokabiel! I will eliminate you with my Holy-demonic sword! I'm not allowed to lose anyone anymore!"
"Ho! Attacks at the same time from a Holy-sword, Demonic sword and a Holy-demonic sword! Interesting! Good indeed! Come! You can't defeat me unless you do that much!"
Kokabiel created another sword of light with his other hand, and clashed with the trio of swords
"There!" Koneko spoke as she thrust her punch from behind him
"Naïve!" Kokabiel spoke as his black wings turned into sharp blades, Yukio barely managing to get her out of the way before she was cut up. Both having a few cuts over there bodies as Yukio let Koneko back on her feet, the white haired girl's cheeks tinged pink as she mumbled thanks to him.
"Hey, looking away while fighting will easily get you killed!"Kokabiel spoke, Yuuto putting down his guard from Koneko being safe as the fallen swung his sword of light
"Wha…!" Yuuto spoke surprised as he looked at the crack that had appeared on his Holy-demonic sword. Kokabiel quick to create another shockwave that sent them both flying. Yuuto managing to fix his stance as he and Xenovia were breathing hard.
"Kokabiel! It's not over yet!" Yukio shouted as he charged back into the fight, Yuuto putting his strength into his Holy-demonic sword as he stood up again, the crack on his sword disappearing as both went forward slashing at him
"Hahaha! You still come at me? Alright! Come!"
"Holy-demonic sword." Yuuto called surrounding the fallen-angel by making swords covered with holy and demonic aura to make him stuck as Yukio clashed blades with Kokabiel.
"You think you've captured me with this?" Kokabiel spoke as his 10 wings started to become like swords and began breaking the swords around with ease as he caught Yukio's Amonusen with two fingers, Yuuto's sword getting caught by two fingers from Kokabiel's other hand
"Is this it?" Kokabiel sighed, Yuuto opening his mouth wide and created another Holy-demonic sword in his mouth, gripping it with his teeth as he swung it. Kokabiel seemed surprised from the third strike, letting go of both swords and stepping back, the only sign of injury the single scratch on his cheek.
Only Kokabiel who was at an advantage was smirking as he suddenly spoke "But. Seeing that even after losing the masters you serve, you devils and followers of God can still fight, huh!"
"…What do you mean?" Rias asked with doubt, Kokabiel starting laughing aloud as he spoke
"Fuhaha, fuhahahahahahahahahaha! That's right! I totally forgot! The truth wasn't revealed to you lower guys! Then I will tell you. In the war between the three sides, not only the Yondai-Maou but also God died."
"It's normal for you guys to not know about it. Who can say that God has died? Humans are an incomplete bunch. Without God they cannot control their hearts and obey the laws, you know? Even us, the fallen-angels, and devils couldn't tell this to those below us. You won't know where the information about God will be leaked from. Even among the three-powers, only the people at the top and certain people know about it. Though it seems Balba noticed it earlier."
"After the War, what was left were the angels who had lost their God, the devils that lost their Maou and the majority of high-class devils and the fallen-angels who lost most of the fallen-angels apart from the leaders. So it wasn't a mere exhausted state. All of the factions fell so low, that they had to rely on humans to continue their generations. Especially the angels and fallen-angels that could only continue their generation by mating with humans. Fallen-angels can increase if the angels fall. But pure-angels can't increase their numbers after losing God. Even pure-devils are rare, right?"
"…Lies…it's a lie…" Xenovia spoke as she started losing strength, a panicked expression on her face.
"The truth is that another big war wouldn't happen unless you do it on purpose. It means that all three-sides went through hell in the past war. Everyone decided that it was meaningless to continue having a war if the start of it all, God and the Maou, were dead. Even that bastard Azazel declared that "there is no second war" after losing the majority of his men in the war! It's hard to bear! It truly is hard to bear! To lower your gun once you already shot it!? Don't fuck around. Don't fuck around! If we continued on from there, we could have won! Even so he...! Is there any value in fallen-angels who can only live by inviting humans who possess Sacred Gears!?"
Kokabiel declared strongly, anger clearly on his face. Yukio's eyes narrowed as he moved to Asia who had her mouth covered with her hands, her eyes wide in shock as she spoke "…God doesn't exist? God…is dead? Then the love we were given by him is…"
Kokabiel answered Asia's doubt with a laugh "That's right. It's normal that there is no love from God and no divine protection from him. God is gone already. Michael is certainly doing well. He's taking the place of God and is taking care of the angels and humans. Well if the "system" used by God is operating, then the prayer to God, the blessing to God, and exorcism would function. But if you compare it to the time God was present, the number of believers decreased. That Holy-demonic sword brat over there was able to create the Holy-demonic sword because the balance between God and the Maou broke. In reality, Holy and demonic powers cannot merge. If the ones who rule the power of Holy and demonic powers, God and the Maou, disappear then lots of unique phenomenon occur."
Hearing Kokabiel's words, Asia dropped onto the floor.
"Asia…! Please pull yourself together, Asia!" Yukio spoke softly as he held her, Amonusen embedded in the ground a short distance away from him.
Ignoring what he'd caused, Kokabiel put his fist up in the air. "From here on out, I will start a war! I will take your heads as a gift! Even if it's only me, I will continue from where we left off! I'm going to show Sirzechs and Michael that we, the fallen-angels, are the ultimate beings!"
Yuuto gripped his sword tighter as a black aura started to grow around Yukio as he retrived his sword and moved towards Kokabiel as the "Pawn" sneered "Don't mess around! I can't let you destroy my town. My comrades, Buchou and Asia, just for your selfish motives…I will protect all of it!"
The aura had covered his body by now and his eyes were switching between his normal dark red to the eerie yellow ones of his Hollow side.
"No…Yukio…" Rias gasped, her eyes wide as Yukio's black aura increased in size as Kokabiel spoke up amused
"Oh…Are you pissed at me Sekiryuutei? Let's see if you can entertain me…"
"Come…let's us rampage against him" An eerie voice spoke up in Yukio's mind as his mother's voice spoke up
"Protect those you care about…"
"Never give up, no matter what" His father's voice added before the eerie voice spoke up again
"Without me…you can't hope to defeat him"
"Yukio-san…" Asia's voice called reminding him back to before he went to fight Raiser at the engagement party and the promise he made.
"Remember if you need more of your power…" Keiko's voice spoke out, fading off as Yukio blinked his eyes, looking down to see his right hand in the pocket that held the badge she'd given him, his black aura exploding around him as it shot out around him as he focused on pushing his power through the badge.
The black aura started to fold back in on itself before forming into something that surprised those around them, his school uniform completely covered in black energy knight like armour which seemed to flick like flames, his eyes returning to normal as he took a deep breathe and noticed that two bands of black energy wraped around his Boosted Gear.
Yukio disappeared with his Sonido, surprising those around as dozens of clones appeared around Kokabiel, surprising the fallen angel as he swung his light sword towards one that looked to be attacking only to find it was just an illusion as he turned to block the actually Yukio's attack before the boy disappeared again.
"Amazing…" Yuuto spoke as he watched Yukio keep up with the fallen angel leader and even manage to land a few cuts on him as the two clashed again and again.
The two clashed blades again as Yukio called "Getsuga Tensho!"
The attack roared out from the close range forcing Kokabiel back from the force behind it, Yukio staying were he stood as he called another attack
"Netherworld Creatures!" He swung the cleaver sword forwards, eight pale blue half bug, half eel like monsters with glowing red eyes launching out of the sword towards Kokabiel slamming into him before dispersing.
Yukio keeping up the pressure on Kokabiel as he used his Sonido to try and attack from behind only to be blocked by another light sword as Kokabiel asked
"…It's the first time I saw a Sekiryuutei who releases this kind of power… What are you? Who are you?" Kokabiel asked while narrowing his eyes.
"I'm the "Pawn" of Rias Gremory's group! Hosokawa Yukio! Remember that Kokabiel! I'm the possessor of a Boosted Gear and Amonusen who fights for his friends" After hearing Yukio's shout, it mysteriously gave the others energy and everyone made a stance against Kokabiel prepared to fight before Yukio disappeared again before appearing before them as he pointed the tip of Amonusen towards Kokabiel as he declared another attack "Cero!"
The crimson orb grew at the end of the sword before the beam shot out Kokabiel putting both his hands forward to block the attack, Yukio panting once the attack disapated before he dropped to one knee as he thought
'Damn…my limit…I need more time' His black energy armour fading as he pushed himself back to his feet, holding Amonusen before him as Kokabiel smirked.
"Fufufu. Interesting" A sudden voice came from the sky Akeno was the first one to notice the strange energy as she looked up followed by Rias.
Yukio felt an unknown fear and nervousness run through his body as something descended from the abyss sky as it sent out a white light. As the white thing approached the ground he realised it was glowing before it floated about an inch from off the ground.
It was a person dressed in white plate armour like that of the "Boosted Gear Scale Mail" with jewels across various parts of the armour which also covered the person's face. Eight wings of light were growing from the back and it was giving out a divine glow. All of them understood what was in front of them as Kokabiel spoke
"…Vanishing Dragon."
Yukio's whole body trembled as he realised Ddraig's rival was standing before them, his heart pounding before he heard Kokabiel make a sound with his tongue by the presence of the white armor.
"One of the Longinus, "Divine Dividing"… If you are already in armor mode it means that it's in the Balance-Breaker state. "Divine Dividing Scale-mail". Just like the "Boosted Gear" it truly is an annoying thing."
"…So you were attracted to the "Red". Vanishing Dragon. If you get in my wa..."
Before Kokabiel finished his sentence, his black wing went up into the air. Then there was blood coming out of him.
"It's like the wing of a crow. It has a disgusting color to it. Azazel's wing is much darker and has the color of everlasting darkness you know?"
Yukio could barely catch the Vanishing Dragon's movement with his eyes but was certain that he'd attacked Kokabiel from the black wing that he held in his hand, a young man's voice having come from the suit of draconic armour.
"Y…You! My wing!" Kokabiel became enraged because his wing was plucked off, but the Vanishing Dragon laughed quietly.
"It's a symbol that you have fallen. There's no need for wings for those who stooped down even below the earth, right? Are you still planning to fly?"
"Vanishing-Dragon! Are you opposing me!"
Kokabiel created a countless number of spears of light in the sky, but Vanishing-Dragon wasn't intimidated by it and said clearly,
"My name is Albion."
[Divide!]
Yukio heard the sound and noticed the aura around Kokabiel got reduced immediately, half of the spears of light in the sky also vanishing with it
"One of the abilities of my "Divine Dividing". It halves the power of those I touch every 10 seconds. Your power will become my power. You don't have time! If you don't defeat me quickly, you will become so weak that you can't even beat a human."
'Opposite to Ddraig's power…and dangerous if I don't use him to even the odds' Yukio thought as Kokabiel tried to go towards Albion with his remaining wings but he couldn't catch him because he wasn't able to keep up with the movements of the Vanishing Dragon who seemed to be playing around with him.
[Divide!]
"Damn you!" Kokabiel shouted as he tried to attack Albion with a spear of light and a sword of light, but Hakuryuukou swung his arm to the side and vaporised them. While Kokabiel was having a hard time fighting, his powers were getting halved.
[Divide!]
After a few sounds, Kokabiel's movement fell so low that even Yukio realised he could win against him with ease as Albion sighed.
"…Already the power of a middle-level fallen-angel, huh. Boring. I thought I could have a bit more fun…"
Albion disappeared from there sights and went towards Kokabiel while creating tracks of light, his fist going deep into Kokabiel's stomach, his body benting a lot and he vomited on the ground. Kokabiel didn't even have a trace left of the overwhelming opponent from before as he gasped "…I…Impossible… me…"
"What? You said a common phrase of a grunt. "Impossible? Me?" What's after that? "This can't be?" Is it?" Albion laughed amused.
"I was told by Azazel to take you back even if by force. You acted a bit too much."
"You! So that's how it is! Azazel… Azazeeeeel! I…I…!" Albion spoke before punching Kokabiel in the face, causing the fallen angel leader to crumble down and fell onto the ground before Albion put the defeated Kokabiel on his shoulder.
"Looks like I have to carry Freed as well. There are things I need to ask him. We will deal with him after that." Albion walked to Freed who was on the ground and carried him with his arm. He then tried to fly up while spreading his wings of light after retrieving the two.
[Are you ignoring me, huh, white-one.] Ddraig spoke aloud, drawing everyone else's attention as the Boosted Gear glowed.
[So you were awake, red-one.] Albion's armor's jewel was also glowing white
[We finally met, but in a situation like this.]
[That's alright. It's our destiny to fight one day. Things like this happen.]
[But white-one. I can't feel the hostility from you like before.]
[Red-one. Your hostility is incredibly low as well.]
[Looks like both of us have things that interest us more than fighting.]
[That's how it is. We should be having fun by ourselves for a while. It's not bad like this sometimes, right? Let's meet again, Ddraig.]
[That would also be fun, huh. See you then, Albion.]
"It's nice to meet you, Hakuryuukou" Yukio spoke calmly as he stood there relaxed.
"As I am with you, Sekiryuutei…get stronger, my rival-kun, I will fight that interesting power of yours one day." Albion turned into a white light and flew up, everyone speechless from the unexpected turn of events. The magic circle of destruction that Kokabiel spread had already disappeared.
Yukio sighed in relief as he dismissed his weapons, his body aching from that black armour his summoned instead of his Hollow going rampant as he called over to Yuuto .
"You did it, Yuuto! That Holy-demonic sword looks beautiful since the white and black thing is mixed." Yuuto turned surprised before starting to speak
"Yukio-kun, I…"
"Let's skip the complicated stuff for now, I'm too tired... Anyway, we can say that it ended for now, right? Also the thing about your comrades" Yuuto laughed as Yukio fell backwards onto ground with his eyes closed before light snoring was heard.
"Yeah."
"…Kiba-san. We can do club activities together again, yes?" Asia asked Yuuto with a worried face, Yuuto about to speak as Rias called his name
"Yuuto."
Rias smiled as she spoke to him "Yuuto. I'm glad you returned. Also to reach Balance-Breaker. I am proud."
"…Buchou. I… To everyone in the club… Most of all, I betrayed you who saved my life once… I can't find the words to express my apology…" Rias patted Yuuto's cheek as she spoke
"But you have returned. That is enough. You can't waste the feelings of your comrades."
"Buchou… I will promise you once again. I, Kiba Yuuto, will protect you and my comrades for the rest of my life as the "Knight" of Rias Gremory's group."
"Ufufufu. Thank you. But you can't say that in front of Yukio, okay?" Yuuto looked to see Yukio was still asleep.
"Now." Rias spoke, her hand covered in a red aura making a dangerous sound, Yuuto growing nervous as Rias spoke
"Yuuto. It's a punishment for acting by yourself. 1000 spanks."
The reinforcements from the Maou arrived thirty-minutes after everything ended. During that time Yuuto was spanked while Yukio pulled himself back to his feet and cringed along
…
A few days after the incident with Kokabiel, Asia and Yukio came into the club room shocked at seeing a foreign girl sitting on the sofa.
"Hey, Sekiryuutei." The girl with the green mesh, Xenovia, is there wearing Kuou Academy's girls uniform.
"Wh…..why, are you here!?" Yukio asked surprised as he pointed his finger at her before black wings grew out of Xenovia's back, making Yukio realise she was a devil
"I found out that God is gone. So I turned into a Devil as a self-abandonment. I received a "Knight" piece from Rias Gremory. It seems like I'm not that great, while Durandal is. So I was able to become a devil with 1 piece. And I was also placed in this school. From now on, I'm a 2nd year student and also a member of the Occult Research Club. Lets get along, Yukio-kun." Xenovia says it while breathing with her nose.
"…Don't make such a cute sound with a serious voice." Yukio spoke annoyed
"I copied Irina, but it looks like it's not easy."
"Buchou. Is it alright to use such a valuable piece?" Yukio asked, turning to Rias as she explained with a smile
"Well. Having a Durandal wielder feels reliable. With this, it's a birth of the two-swordsmen along with Yuuto."
Yukio thought about it for a moment before agreeing having Durandal on there side would be useful in the Rating Game.
"Yes. I'm a devil now. I can't go back. No, maybe this was a good thing. Hmmm, but since God is gone my life was a failure. But serving under a devil who was once my enemy is….. Even if she is a sister of a Maou…." Xenovia starts to hold her head down while mumbling something, probably receiving some damage because of praying just like Asia
"By the way, where's Irina?" Yukio asked curiously
"Irina returned to headquarters along with the corpse of Balba and the 5 Excaliburs including mine. The "fragments" that act as the cores were retrieved in that state. So the mission of retrieving it was accomplished. If they have the cores, they can use alchemy to make the holy-swords again."
"I have to give them the Excalibur back just in case. Unlike the Durandal, there are other wielders that could be chosen. Having Durandal is enough for me. When I mentioned the absence of God to them, they became silent. So I became an outsider for knowing the absence of God. The Church hates outsiders and heresy very much. Even if that person is the wielder of Durandal, they will cut them off. Exactly the same way as the incident with Asia Argento." Xenovia laughed at herself before she continued
"Irina was lucky. Even if she wasn't in the battle because of the wounds, she ended up not knowing the truth. She has a stronger belief than me. If she found out about God, I don't know what would have happened to her. Except, she was really disappointed that I became a devil, I couldn't tell her that it was because of the absence of God. It was an awkward farewell that we had. Maybe we might be enemies the next time we meet." Xenovia narrowed her eyes.
Once Rias had confirmed that all the club members are here she spoke "The Church made contact with us devils. More precisely the Maou talk about this incident. They said "We would like to make contact with you because of unclear and dishonest actions of the fallen-angels even though we feel unsatisfactory about this". They also apologised about Balba because it was their mistake for letting him escape in the past."
"But this school is truly terrifying. Because there's another sister of Maou attending this school." Xenovia says it while making a sigh, Yukio remembering that Saji had mentioned Sona's sister was Maou Leviathan.
The gym and the school ground destroyed by Kokabiel had been repaired by people related to the Maou, Yukio admitting the power of devils for fixing it just in over a night.
'They can create a replica of the school in another dimension. It must be a piece of cake for them to repair it all' Yukio thought to himself as Sparda spoke up
{Of course…}
"The truth about this incident was sent to the God-side and the devils' side by the viceroy of the fallen-angels, Azazel. The theft of the Excalibur was an action taken by Kokabiel only. The other leaders didn't know about it. He planned to break the tension between the three sides. Because he tried to start another war, he was put in the Cocytus for eternity in a frozen state." Rias explained to them all
"Though it ended with the intervention of "Vanishing Dragon". They stopped the rampage done by one of them by sending someone from their organization."
Yukio knew he had to work harder given that Albion had already been in his Balance Breaker form when he showed up, his own extremely limited in all aspects and then he hadn't even thought about Amonusen's Balance Breaker.
"There would also be a meeting between the representatives of the angels, devils and Azazel. Apparently there is something Azazel wants to talk about. I heard that maybe Azazel would be apologizing about Kokabiel then. Though it's suspicious if Azazel would apologise." Rias spoke with disgust while she shrugged her shoulder before continuing
"We were also invited to that meeting. We have to report about the incident at the meeting because we were involved."
"Really!?" Yukio asked surprised, noticing the others shared his expression before he decided to ask Xenovia something that has been bugging him the whole time "…The "Vanishing Dragon" belongs to the side of the Fallen-Angels, right?"
"That's right. Azazel is gathering Sacred Gear possessors who have a "Longinus". I don't know what he is thinking, but it's definitely something not good. The "Vanishing Dragon" is the top fighter among them. I heard that he is the fourth or fifth strongest out of all the strong people there including the leaders of Grigori. At this point, he is far stronger than you, who is his rival."
"…That's right. I will apologise to Asia Argento. Since God didn't exist, then his love and help didn't as well. I'm sorry, Asia Argento. Hit me much as much as you want."
Xenovia spoke as she bows her head down to Asia, her expression didn't change so Yukio noticing that she meant it even if her face didn't show it.
"….No, I don't intend to do something like that. Xenovia-san, I'm enjoying my current lifestyle. Even though I'm a devil now, I met someone… people who are important to me. I am happy because of the place I live in now and the people I have met." Asia smiles like a Virgin Mary as she forgives her, Yukio glad that her psychological state had improved since hearing the rejection of God but because Buchou and he were with her she returned to normal.
"…. So only you and I are the only Christians that found out about the absence of God. I won't be able to say something like a divine punishment to you now. So a heretic huh? I was a holy sword user who was admired, but now a heretic huh. I can't forget about how their eyes and attitudes changed when they saw me." At that moment, Yukio saw a glimpse of sadness in Xenovia's eyes before got up to leave
"Then I will be leaving. There's a lot of things I need to know about before transferring to this school."
"U..umm!" Asia stops Xenovia.
"On the next weekend I'm going to go out to play with everyone. Would you also like to join, Xenovia-san?" Asia says with a smile, Xenovia's eyes wide in shock before she gave her a bitter smile.
"Next time then. This time I'm not interested. Except….."
"Except?
Xenovia then says it with a smile to Asia "Can you take me around the school next time?"
"Yes!" Asia answers with a smile, Yukio figuring they would be good friends
"I will swear it in the name of my holy-sword, Durandal. I also would like to have a battle with the holy-demonic sword user over there as well."
"Alright. I won't lose next time." Yuuto replied with a smile, Xenovia leaving the room after confirming it. Yukio turning to see the confidence in Yuuto since that incidence had passed his attention returning to Rias as she clapped her hands before speaking
"Now. Since everyone has returned again, let's start the club activity again!"
[YES!] Everyone replies with energetic voices.

Author's Notes
And that ends the Excalibur Arc, hope that you enjoy it. Now Amonusen's been unsealed it'll actually be used like a sword rather then a demolition tool and hope you liked the addition of D Gray man's Kanda's basic attack included considering I was watching Kanda vs Skinn after Ichigo vs Ginjo I think.
As for the Talent show songs currently I've got down for Yukio and his friends to perform is Boys are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy, Closer to you by Adelitas Way (which'll be sung by Saji) and Scared to Death by HIM which'll be Yukio's song of choice although whether I change or add another song I'm not sure at the moment. (I may write a Omake with Raiser watching them play Crashed the Wedding which Ravel brought back on video)
Shinji and Daisuke will be apart of Seekvaira Agares peerage when they show up as well as there spiritual powers I mentioned before.
As for the Underworld TV show for Yukio, I'm in need of ideas for potential shows otherwise I may go with something like the old Legend of Zelda cartoons.
Also when Ascalon shows up I'm not sure if I should allow it to be used while Yukio's in his Tensa Zangestu form (which is Amonusen's balance break) later on or just keep it with Boosted Gear.
