...
The light flickered and faded as Yukio's new form appeared, the gauntlets of his [Boosted Gear] covering both of his hands while clawed greaves covered his feet, both with thick white X on his forearms and shins. The helmet of his scale mail covered his head with two thin white lines running down from the green lens covering his eyes. The chest plate was visible under the long black coat of his Bankai, a thick white X covering the front of it with the green jewel set in the centre while the coat was buttoned at his waist. The coat also had red triangular hip guards atop of it, a space to sheathe a sword in each one while four small jets poked out of his back in lines of two on either side of his spine. His black slacks looked thicker, almost scale like, and were tucked into his greaves. Tensa Amonusen's sword had changed as well, the leg like protrusions having changed to red claws in the same pattern as before while the chain on the pommel had red and black links running in a pattern.
[Sub Species Balance Breaker: Red Dragon Spirit Mail] Ddraig roared out as Yukio swung his sword to knock away the excess energy around him, forcing friend and foe alike to brace themselves from the shockwave.
"That power is… immense" Toshiro spoke surprised, Yoruichi smirking as she heard Sui-Feng's muttered comment
"Definitely Keiko's Nii-san…"
Rukia and Rangiku couldn't help but stare at Yukio's new form while Byakuya couldn't help but be surprised at how soon Yukio had unlocked his Bankai and also having learnt to combine it with the Balance Breaker of the Sekiryuutei. Keiko smirked as she spoke "Go get him Nii-san…"
Yukio Sonido'd from where he stood, the ground cratering where he had stood before appearing and clashing his sword against Kariya's wind blade, making a crater appear underneath them before the white haired man was flung away by the follow up strike.
'T-This power…' Kariya thought with wide eyes, turning as he felt Yukio's reiatsu appear behind him and seeing the gauntlet clad fist that was flung at his torso; knocking him skywards and forcing his body to absorb more ambient reiatsu to repair itself.
Kariya brought himself to a stop with his wind powers, looking down at Yukio to see him disappear again and reappear before him with sword being swung down. From the jets on Yukio's back was green energy forming into a set of wings that lay as an X behind him.
…
"HAHAHA! That kid definitely has some power" Kenpachi Zaraki laughed as he watched Yukio and Kariya's battle continue from the meeting room in Soul Society, the other Captains who had stayed behind watching with interest.
"Impressive… He put into sync and combined his Bankai with his Sacred Gear's Balance Breaker…He'd be such an interesting test subject" Mayuri Kurotsuchi mused with a gleam in his eye as he watched Yukio easily fend off a wind slash with the gauntlet of his free hand.
"Do you wish to try and anger one of the Four Great Clans?" Retsu Unohana spoke curiously as she looked at Mayuri, his response stopped by the next voice to speak up.
"That is amazing progress for one who has only came into his Bankai a month or two ago" Sosuke Aizen spoke intrigued, noticing a few nods from the other members as well as jealousy from some of the lieutenants that not only Yukio but Daisuke had unlocked their Bankais without formal training, the latter referring to it as Hihiō Zabimaru.
Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto watched the battle with a critical eye as he thought 'Yukio Hosokawa… It's a shame your family never kept you in the Soul Society, you would have been a fine addition to the Gotei 13'
…
Kariya gritted his teeth as he smashed into the ground, forcing himself back to his feet as his wounds started to reknit themselves back together. The fight had turned one sided since Yukio had entered his [Spirit Mail] form and even Kariya's regeneration through absorbing spirit energy was being forced to its limit in trying to keep up with Yukio's assault. Yukio landed before him, his green energy wings disappearing the moment his feet touched the ground as he muttered to himself "I still need to adjust to this power…"
Kariya panted for a few moments before drawing out his full power, wind buffeting around him as he spoke "Let us end this with our strongest attacks!"
Yukio nodded, drawing back Tensa Amonusen to his side as he channelled his reiatsu, now a fierce red with a pitch black outline, into the weapon while demonic energy covered the weapon as well.
Kariya's aura focused around his sword, wind and lightning combining to have a glowing yellow blade which he swung forwards to release a large wave of lightning
"Dragon Spirit Drill" Yukio shouted in response as he stabbed out with his sword, making a minor twist of his hand to shape his attack properly as the beam of reiatsu and demonic energy blasting out of it like a drill. The two attacks clashed in the middle, carving trenches underneath them and even digging a large crater under where they met. Kariya's eyes widened as Yukio's attack smashed through his own, the beam of swirling energy before engulfing him and destroying him.
Yukio took a calming breathe as the beam faded to show just the deep trench in front of him, a pulse of red light dispersing his armour so Yukio was left in his Bankai form as Sparda spoke up {Let's get moving}
"Keiko-nee! I'm going after Asia now!" Yukio called over to his sister, getting a nod before he used his Sonido to catch up with the rest of the Gremory group.
…
Yukio came to a stop inside the spacious hall of the shrine, glancing around the giant pillars before catching Rias' relieved look as he spoke "Sorry about that… He's been taken care of now"
"Good." Rias spoke with a nod, the group continuing forwards to see ten small built people who were wearing robes.
{There's something unusual about their auras} Sparda commented, Yukio nodding in agreement as Diodora's voice echoed n the space.
[Hey Rias Gremory and her servants.] Everyone looked around before his voice continued
[Hahaha, Sekiryuutei. You won't find me no matter whether you look around or not. I'm waiting at the end of another shrine for all of you. –Let's play. It's a substitute for the Rating Game which has been cancelled.]
[Let's have a match while using our "pieces". The rule is that you can't use the same pieces again until you reach where I am at. Other than that, anything is okay. For the first match, I will be sending my 8 [Pawns] and 2 [Rooks]. By the way all of my [Pawns] have promoted to a [Queen]. Hahaha, its 8 [Queens] from the beginning but that is okay right? After all, Rias Gremory is a young devil famous for possessing powerful servants.] Diodora added, Yukio's frown growing as he focused on the cloakd figures as Rias spoke seriously
"Fine. I will play along with your nonsense. I will carve into your head, just how powerful my group is."
"Is it okay to agree to the enemy's suggestion?" Yukio asked with a frown, Rias' eyes narrowing as she replied
"We should agree to it. They have…Asia as their hostage."
"We will have Yukio, Koneko, Xenovia, and Gasper head out. Those who were just called. Come over to me." Rias spoke up after a moment of thought, Yukio, Koneko, Xenovia and Gasper gathering around Rias as she whispered to them
(I will leave the 2 Rooks to Xenovia. You can fight with all your might. So use your full power against them.)
(Roger that. I like it. I'm good at those things.) Xenovia responded before Rias continued
(Against the [Pawns], Koneko would be the attacker. Use the senjutsu to send your ki in them so you can take them out. Yukio and Gasper will be Koneko's support. But you two will be the key for this battle. Yukio, please have Gasper drink your blood.)
(…Roger.)
(Heeee, Roger!)
(Roger that Buchou! There is something weird about those [Pawns]…) Yukio was interrupted by a small magic circle that appeared near his ear, Arisu's voice coming out of it
((Yukio-san… Onii-san is having his servants controlled by weird little flower creatures))
(Are you sure, Arisu-san?) Yukio asked, gaining looks of surprise from the others as she replied
((Y-Yes… I saw them latch onto them)) Yukio looked over to Rias seeing her nod softly as she spoke
(Yukio, do what you think best but remember we have to save Asia)
(Right) Yukio replied with a nod, moving with the others to stand at the ready to face Diodora's servants, Diodora speaking up to start it
[Then let's start.]
Yukio cut his finger with his sword so he could give his blood to Gasper, making the Dhampir's body get covered in a weird aura as his red eyes glowed.
{Those Ritz Dolls seem to be affecting the [Rooks] as well} Sparda spoke, Yukio giving a stern look to Xenovia as he spoke quietly to her
"Let me deal with the mind control"
"Alright…" Xenovia spoke seriously, her sharp eyes focused onto the two [Rooks] while releasing Durandal, making a double sword stance with Ascalon as well. Yukio flipped his grip on Tensa Amonusen before stabbing the blade into the ground, letting go and using his Sonido to suddenly appear behind the two [Rooks] and land a chop on the back of each neck. The two [Rooks] fell forwards unconscious, a small mouse flower appearing out of each as Yukio moved on to knock out each of the [Pawns] before finally reappearing standing in front of his sword.
"Yukio-sempai…" Koneko spoke as she signalled behind him, the silver haired young man grabbing his sword and turning to see each of the Ritz dolls glowing unnaturally as their form grew into humanoid shapes, Diodora's servants disappearing in the light that signalled them being retired.
[Haha! You think just knocking them out would save you from fighting… Those dolls can defeat you just as easily as my own servants.] Diodora laughed, Yukio frowning as he turned to see Xenovia walking towards the two Ritz dolls from the [Rooks] as she spoke seriously
"I will take Asia back." Xenovia's eyes sharp while an intense pressure came from her body as she continued
"…I never had someone whom I could call a friend. That's because I thought I could live without such people. I thought I could live if I had the love of God." The two Rook-Ritz sprinted towards Xenovia as she continued talking
"Then those who started to treat me in a friendly manner came. Especially Asia, who always smiled at me. She called me her "friend"." Xenovia showed sad eyes while dodging the pair's attacks as she added
"…When I first met Asia, I said horrible things to her. I called her a witch. I called her a heretic. But Asia came and talked to me as if nothing happened. She even called me her "friend"!"
"That's why I will save her! My best friend! Asia! I will save her!" Xenovia spoke as she released a destructive wave from Durandal which blew back her opponents as she lifted Durandal up high as she shouted in a teary voice
"That's why! I beg you! Durandal! Respond to me! I won't like it, if Asia disappears. If I lose Asia, I…..! Please! Give me! Give me the power to save my friend! Durandaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
In response to Xenovia's words, Durandal's aura grew larger till it was ten times more intense then before. The area around Xenovia started to crumble from the holy aura of Durandal as she spoke
"I realised lately that, I can't suppress Durandal very well. It might take a lot of time for me to get a silent wave of aura that Kiba showed. Then I just have to keep on going forward. I decided to increase the sharpness and the destructive power of Durandal instead."
Xenovia made a cross with Durandal and Ascalon up the air, the former's aura transporting to AScalon and increasing the holw aura even more with the two holy swords working together.
"Now, let's go! Durandal! Ascalon! Let's go to save my best friend! Please respond to my feelinnnnnnnnnnnnngs!" Xenovia shouted, the two swords creating pillars of light and making a large hole in the ceiling of the shrine before she swung them down to the Rook-Ritz, enveloping them in a merged waves from Durandal and Ascalon.
The shrine vibrates violently from the attack, stopping to reveal two big slashes leaving from where Xenovia was standing, pillars and the wall also gone as was the ceiling above her.
"Woah…" Isa spoke surprised and impressed, Yukio reluctantly agreeing with him at seeing no sign of the Ritz dolls Xenovia had been facing, the bluenette taking heavy breathes.
"Koneko-chan, Gasper, let's go!" Yukio spoke as he stepped forwards, Gasper and Koneko quick to reply
"Yes!"
"Yes! Nyan!" Koneko let out her cat ears and tail with the familiar call, Yukio giving her a brief look as he spoke to himself
"First, I should promote… [Promotion: Queen]" Yukio smirked at the familiar boost to his powers, focusing on the Ritzs that resembled Diodora's Pawns as he spoke
"Gasper-kun, freeze those three first. Koneko-chan, take them out once he's done that"
"Y-Yeeeeeees!"
"Right…" Gasper and Koneko replied, the former turning to the three on the right that Yukio has signalled to and activating his [Sacred Gear] to freeze the Ritz copies movements instantly. Koneko charged forwards as Yukio pointed his hand over to the three on the right and spoke to Gasper again
"Gasper! Next those three!"
"Y-Yeeeeees!" Gasper replied, freezing the movement of the next three before Yukio pointed his free hand at them as he muttered
"Cero!" The red beam destroyed the frozen copies on the left, glancing to see Koneko had easily finished with her three before Yukio shot towards the remaining two copies, swinging his katana to split them.
"Phew. That was oddly easy" Yukio spoke to himself, realising that Azazel was right about them being amazing without any restrictions.
"Let's get going." Rias spoke, everyone nodding as they started towards the next room to see three enemies waiting for them.
"…If my memory from the video is correct, they are the two Bishops and the Queen." Kiba spoke, Yukio arching an eyebrow as he wondered how the blond could tell them apart while they all wore the same robes
{Looks like they don't have those Ritz Dolls attached to them} Sparda spoke confused, Yukio blinking in confusion the [Queen] lowered her hood before speaking
"We were waiting for you, Rias Gremory-sama."
The [Bishops] look to be a girl and a guy from their builds but their hoods obsure their faces from view. Remembering from the view he knew they were stronger in demonic power then Gasper and Asia but Yukio knew that they were support types unlike the [Bishops] before them.
[The [Queen] should be interesting… She uses Fire Magic remember] Ddriag reminded, Yukio mentally nodding as Akeno spoke up as she stepped forwards
"Ara-ara. I will be going then."
"The remaining two [Knights] would be enough with just Yuuto. I will fight as well." Rias added as she moved forwards herself.
"Ara, Buchou. It would be enough with just me." Akeno spoke, Rias arching an eyebrow as she retorted
"What are you saying? Even if you learnt how to use holy-lightning, over doing it is a taboo you know? Rather than receiving damage here, it's better to go at them with more power to minimise our damage."
Yukio sweatdropped at the power the two young women wielded on their own and not expecting the battle to last very long with whatever combo they come up with. He was broken from his thoughts by a poke in his side, turning to see Koneko looking up at him and beckoning him to bend down, complying only for his eyes to widen at what she was whispering into his ear.
"Hahahaha! That is just brilliant" Isa cackled, Yukio looking unsure at Koneko as he asked
"Just that?"
"…Yes. Akeno-san will power up with that." Koneko answered, Yukio shrugging before turning to call
"Akeno-san."
"Hmm, if you were to defeat those people with ease, let's go on a date next Sunday!" Akeno's eyes widened at Yukio's words, electricity sparking around the area and Akeno was enveloped in a aura of holy-lightning.
"…Ufufu. Ufufufufufufufufufu! I can have a date with Yukio-kun!" Akeno giggled, an intense smile on her face as holy-lightning crashed down on the whole area
"You are horrible Yukio! You have me, and yet you only ask Akeno out!" Rias shouted at Yukio with teary eyes, who started to descretely point at Koneko only to be ignored as Akeno retort
"Ufufu, Rias. This is proof that my love has finally been received by Yukio-kun. Seems like you have to give up now, yes?"
"W-W-What are you saying! I don't want it to be said from the vulgar Akeno who sparkles her lightning from just a single d-d-date!" Rias shot back, both third years started to quarrel
"What did you say? I don't want it to be said from you, who doesn't seem like you will be getting love from him anytime soon."
"T-That is not true! E-Even a while ago he…..!"
"What happened a while ago?"
"…He touched my breast a lot on the bed."
"…Isn't it just that Yukio-kun had a bad sleeping posture and that happened?"
"…We also k-kissed. Thrice."
Yukio blushed at hearing the insanely cute tone Rias was using, enjoying seeing her act like a normal girl despite the serious situation as Akeno shot back
"Then I will tongue kiss him right now. Four times, right in front of you Rias."
"Akeno! No! No! I don't even want to imagine your tongue going inside that boy's mouth! His mouth belongs to me!"
[Wow… Shame we aren't in a bedroom now, could have easily lost your V card by now] Ddraig spoke in a disappointed tone, Isa cackling in agreement.
The enemy [Queen] and [Bishops] look confused, unsure how to respond to the bickering happening before them, the [Queen] soon getting enraged and covering herself in a aura of fire as she shouted
"You two! Stop this, for god's sake! Don't ignore us for fighting over a man…!"
"Shut up!" "Shut up!" Akeno and rias shouted, launching a giant combo attack at the trio making an equally giant explosion which cleared to reveal the [Queen] and the two [Bishops] were lying on the ground with smoke coming off them.
"I'll remind you never to piss them off" Isa whistled in appreciation, Yukio giving a small nod even as Rias turned back to Akeno to shot angrily
"To begin with, do you even know all of Yukio's body, Akeno!? I know it even to the tiniest details you know!?"
"You just know it, but you haven't touched it or received it. Rias is always talk! I'm already prepared to accept him whenever and anywhere!" Akeno replied, her smile still fixed on her face as Rias let out a frustrated noise as she spoke
"Nggggggh…! Well, I will stop at there. I will discuss about this with you slowly after we save Asia. Asia's rescue comes first."
"Yes, I know. Asia-chan is like a little sister to me too."
With that Rias and Akeno focused on the current situation as they all went further into the shrine.
…
Yukio's eyes narrowed as they came to the place where Diodora's [Knights] should have been, only for someone familiar to be standing there instead.
"Ya, it has been awhile." Freed spoke with a manic smile, Yukio frowning as he growled
"Freed!"
'How the hell is he still alive?' Yukio thought to himself, Freed grinning as he spoke
"You thought "This guy was alive?" right, Yukio-kun? YES YES. I'm so stubborn, that I'm alive very clearly you know?"
"What did you do with the two [Knights]?" Yukio asked, deciding to not give Freed any idea that he had been right.
Freed gave a sickening smile, disturbing the group before chewing something in his mouth and spitting out a finger before he spoke "I ate them."
{His aura is not human any more, Yukio} Sparda spoke up in digust, Yukio's eyes narrowing as did Koneko's as she covered her nose and spoke in disgust
"…That person has "quit" being a human."
Freed grinned as he started to laugh "Hyahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Right after I was slashed down by you guys, I was retrieved by that shit Valiiiiiii! And I got fired by that rotten Azazeeeeeel!"
A weird sound echoed out as parts of Freed's body swelled up, ripping his priest clothes, and something like a horn appearing on his body as it increased in size while his arms and legs got several times thicker.
"The ones who picked me up after I lost my place are the guys from Khaos Brigade! They….! They said that they would give me powers, and what did I geeeeeet! Kyuhahahahahahahaha! And that was turning me into a Chimera! Fuhahahahahahahahahaha!" Freed continued in a distorted voice, a single bat wing appearin on his back along with a gigantic arm from the same place. His face also lost its original form as it changed, his mouth filled with sharp fangs, while resembling a dragon of some kind.
"Tch… Disgusting creature should be put down" Isa spoke in disgust, Yukio mentally agreeing as he tightened his grip on Tensa Amonusen.
"Hyahahahahahahahahaha! By the way did you know? Diodora Astaroth's hobby that is. His hobby is beautifully crazy, and just listening to it makes your heart beat. Diodora's taste in women. That rich boy certainly has great taste. Apparently he has fetish for girls affiliated with the Church! Yes, the ones you call nuns!" Freed cackled psychotically, Yukio's eyes widening as he realised that matched up with Asia as Freed continued with a smile
"And the ones he preys on are the passionate and strong believers. Do you know what I am trying to say? His servant devils that Ise-kun and others defeated just earlier are all former believers of the Church! The same could be said for the girls who are at his house! All of them are famous nuns and Holy-maidens from various areas! His taste is really something, don't you think!? The devil rich boy seduced the women from the Church and made them into his toys! Oh wait, that's why devils exist! He speaks with sweet words to the passionate Holy-maidens and makes them fall for him! I guess that's what you call a devils whisper!"
{That bastard} Sparda seethed in rage, Yukio's eyes flickering between his normal red and hollowifed yellow as he spat out
"Then Asia was…"
Freed laughs loudly at hearing that as he continued "The one who wrote the scenario of Asia getting kicked out of the Church is none other than Diodora Astaroth. The scenario goes like this. One day, a devil rich boy who loves to have sex with nuns found himself his very ideal, Bishoujou Holy-maiden. He couldn't help but wanting to have sex with her ever since he saw her. But he thought it would be hard to take her away from the Church, so he used a different plan to make that girl his."
[That means…] Ddraig growled, Yukio's aura flaring as Freed continued regardless
"The Holy-maiden is a very, very kind girl. I got advice from someone who is knowledgeable with Sacred Gear that "The Sacred Gear possessed by the Holy-maiden can even heal devils". So the rich boy put his attention there. "Maybe she will get kicked out of the Church if another believer sees her healing me"! Even if a scar is left, it would still be alright if I can have sex with her! That's the way and is how that rich boy lives!"
"I don't regret saving him back then." Yukio remembered Asia saying with a smile as Freed laughed again as he added
"She will get exiled from the Church which she believed in, then her life will get ruined and she won't believe in God, and then she will come to me. –That's what he was thinking. Hyahahaha! Even the painful experience for the Holy-maiden is a spice for that rich boy! He will save them from the depth of despair, and then rape them! He will rape both their body and heart! And that was the best and ultimate entertainment for him! He had been raping and making the girls from the Church his own! And he won't be changing even from now! –So the rich boy, Diodora Astaroth-kun, is a devil who loves to fuck strong believers of the Church! Hyahahahahaha!"
Yukio forced himself to clamp down on his growing rage, his eyes unchanging from this eerie yellow of his Hollow side as he glared at Freed before Kiba grabbed his shoulder as he spoke calmly "Yukio-kun. I know how you feel. But you should keep that feeling for Diodora Astaroth."
"Are you telling me to be silent about…?" Yukio growled out, moving to grab Kiba's collar with his free hand only to stop at seeing the anger and hatred in the blonde's eyes.
"I will fight. I will stop that vulgar mouth of his." Kiba spoke as he walked past Yukio, the former's aura filled with so strong hostility that it quelled some of latter's. Kiba stood in front of the monster Freed, creating a single Holy-demonic sword in his hand as Freed spoke
"Hey hey hey! You are the rotten [Knight-san] who cut me down back then! Thanks to that I went through a lovely model change like this! But! You know I also became quite a lot stronger? I even ate Diodora's two [Knights] easily. I also got their traits as well! So now I'm an invincible monster, so let's get along Casanova!"
"It would be better if you don't exist anymore." Kiba spoke with a cold tone to his voice, Freed turning to rage as he shouted
"Don't get all cooooooocky!" From Freed's body many blades came out, aimed towards Kiba only for the blonde to disappear from sight and Freed being cut into pieces as his head rolled across the ground as he spoke
"—What the heck… You are too overpowered…"
"Hihihi. Well you won't be able to stop Diodora's plan or defeat the guys behind him. More than that you don't know the true horror of Longinus possesors… Hyahahaha…" Freed started to cackle, Kiba stabbing him in the head to finish him off as he spoke
"—You can continue howling to the Grim Reaper in hell."
"Let's go everyone!" Rias spoke as they moved forwards, only to stop as the sound of clapping filled the room they stood in as Yukio stopping Mibashi walking towards them with a Ritz Doll floating around him and a smirk on his face as he spoke
"I must praise you on getting this far but you won't get any farther Seishinryuutei, Hosokawa Yukio…and company"
"Then no one told you I killed your boss, Kariya did they?" Yukio asked with a smirk as Mibashi's faltered at hearing that piece of news as he shot back
"Kariya couldn't lose to you…"
"Shall I prove it now?" Yukio asked coldly as he stepped forwards, power eradiating from him as Mibashi glared in rage before barking out
"Ritz!" The flower-rat Doll shot towards Mibashi, merging with him and making his body start to change. Mibashi's body bulked up, growing taller as his arms and legs grew bulkier, his skin taking a orange hue as his clothes strained against his body before shredding till he was only in a pair of ragged shorts. A flower poked out the top of his head while his face took on rat like features.
"Yukio?" Rias asked, Yukio glancing back as he offered her a slight smile
"Leave this to me… I won't be more then a few seconds"
"You think you can beat the combined power of what my Ritz Dolls gained when they possessed someone" Mibashi snarled as he shot forwards in rage, Yukio's eyes narrowing as he used his Sonido to appear several feet ahead and catching the easily telegraphed punch with his free hand. The ground behind him cratered even as Yukio didn't move an inch, swinging his sword upwards only for Mibashi to jump back before disappearing in a burst of speed.
Yukio turned as he sensed Mibashi behind him, already swinging his blade upwards to cut the Bount in half only for him to disappear again as a familiar male voice spoke up {Behind you}
Turning instantly, Yukio swung his sword down on the surprised looking Mibashi as reiatsu swirled around the blade as he silver haired young man declared "Getsuga Tensho!"
Mibashi was consumed in the reiatsu blast hitting him at close range, his pain filled scream soon ending as the attack ended and revealed a large trench in the ground from where Yukio stood. Yukio frowned as he glanced around to make sure he had won as he thought 'I recognise that voice but… where from'
"Let's get moving Yukio" Rias spoke, breaking him from his thoughts as he nodded and they ran deeper into the shrine.
…
Arriving at the deepest end of the shrine, the group looked at the gigantic circular device carved into the wall with jewels, mysterious symbols and letters in various parts, looking like some sort of magic circle. Yukio was broken from his thougths as he focused on the person at the centre of the device.
"Asiaaaaaaaaa!" Yukio shouted, glad to see that she didn't look harmed at all and even her clothes seemed fine as well
"You finally came." Diodora Astaroth spoke with a gentle smile, Yukio's anger boiling up again as he started to walk forwards and barely resisting the urge to activate his Balance Breaker again.
"…Yukio-san?" Asia spoke, Yukio looking to see her eyes swollen with tears before he glared at Diodora as he asked
"…Diodora. Did you tell Asia about the whole thing?" Diodora smiled in response before speaking
"Yeah. I told everything to Asia. Fufufu, I wanted to show it to you as well. The moment she had the best expression. The face Asia had when she found out everything was going like my plan was simply the best. Look, I even left the video of it. Should I play it? She really had a splendid face. The expression of the women affiliated with the Church falling, no matter how many times I see it, I never get bored of it." Yukio gritted his teeth as Asia started to sob even as Diodora continued
"But I think it's still lacking. Asia still has hope inside her. Yes, I'm talking about you guys. Especially the filthy Sekiryuutei over there. Because you saved Asia, my plan turned into a failure. That fallen-angel woman….Raynare. I was supposed to appear and kill Raynare, after she killed Asia once and I was planning to give my evil-piece then. I thought you wouldn't win, even if you were to interfere. Then I found out you are the Sekiryuutei. It's an interesting occurrence. Thanks to that my plan was postponed quite a lot, but she finally returned to me. Now I can enjoy Asia."
"Shut up!" Yukio roared, Diodora not seeming to care as he added
"Asia is still a virgin, right? I like to train them from virgins, and I will hate it if she was "used" by Sekiryuutei. Ah, but maybe it might be fun to NTR from Sekiryuutei? Maybe it would be good to forcefully have sex with her while she screams out your name…"
"Shut Upppppppp!" Yukio and Isa roared together as their aura exploded as Yukio set his hollowfied eyes on Diodora and added
"Diodoraaaaaaaa! You! You are one person I will never forgive!" Yukio's aura continued to engulf him, large cracks forming on the ground as he glanced back to Rias and the others
"Buchou, everyone. Please don't interfere."
"Yukio. We will defeat him together. –That's what I would like to say, but it looks like we can't stop you. –You can't hold back, okay?" Rias replied before Diodora started to laugh with a black aura around him
"Ahahahaha! Amazing! So this is Sekiryuutei! But I also powered-up! With the snake Ophis gave me that is! I can kill you instan~" Yukio cut him off by using his Sonido to close the distance and slamming his fist into Diodora's gut, making his eyes widen as his body bent as he cried out
"…Gaa!" Diodora soon vomited out his lunch and blood as Yukio asked with a dark smirk
"And the instant kill you were talking about? Pathetic brat!" Diodora stepped back while holding his stomach, his face not showing the confidence he had before as he spoke
"Ku! With something like this! I'm a High-class devil! The blood relative of the current Maou Beelzebub!" With that Diodora put his hand forwards and shot dozens of demonic bullets as he added
"There is no way that a noble high blood like myself will lose to a lowly, filthy, and vulgar reincarnated-devil like you!"
"You forget brat, I am Sparda's descendant so if you think your legendary hero is filthy and lowly then you really has a warped sense of the world" Yukio replied causally as he walked forwards calmly and let the bullets hit him with no effect on him as he mentally thanked Tannin for his training.
[That's right. The training with the Dragon-King trained you quite a lot. In the match against Sitri you couldn't show the result, but with no restrictions you can release your power.] Ddriag spoke up in response before Sparda added
{In terms of simple battle power, you are easily destroy this brat} When Yukio came right in front of him, Diodora stopped his attack and tried to make some distance only for Yukio to use his Sonido to appear behind Diodora and grabbing his head before slamming it into the ground, which cratered around him. Lifting Diodora after a few moments, Yukio easily held him up to see his face bleeding and tears in his eyes as he spoke "…It hurts. It hurts. It hurts! Why! My demonic-power hit you! I was supposed to have had my power increased drastically with Ophis's power!"
"Because with Ophis' power or not you're still a weak brat who" Yukio retort, bringing his sword up and slashing down Diodora's body from shoulder to opposite hip
"Guha! Gaha!" Diodora cried before taking a fist to his face from Yukio's right hand as Diodora shouted back
"I won't be defeated by a damn rotten dragon like you!" Throwing his left hand forwards, Diodora created a thick wall of aura only for his eyes to widen in shock as Yukio used his Sonido to disappear before appearing behind him slamming a kick against his back and knocking Diodora onto the ground again
"You think you have more demonic power then me… Heh, you really are an idiot, brat" Yukio asked, grabbing Diodora by his hair and yanking him into the air to see his face change expression as Yukio dropped his sword and threw his fist into his face as he shouted
"Don't make our Asia cry!" Blood flew as Diodora's head was knocked back, making him fly back and crash into a pillar, the devil instantly trying to get back up as he shouted
"This must be a lie! There is no way I will be beaten! I won against Agares! I'm also planning to win against Bael! There's no way I will lose to the untalented heir of the Great-King! Gremory who holds affection can't even be my opponent! I'm Diodora from the House of Astaroth!"
"You cheated against her! Using Ophis' power to boost the pitiful power you supposedly have" Yukio shot back as Diodora put his hand upwards and created many circular sharp things out of his demonic power around Yukio, pointing them at him like missiles
"Tch! Pathetic" Yukio spoke as he lowered his head as the demonic attacks shot towards him, Yukio disappearing with his Sonido only to appear before Diodora and kicking Diodora in his right thigh, crushing the bone as he cried out in pain
"Daaaaamn itttt!" Diodora started to gather demonic power into his hand which he pointed at Yukio, who flexed his hand to summon back Tensa Amonusen to release a wordless Getsuga Tensho to use against him. The two attacked clashed in the middle
"Goooooooo!" Yukio shouted, his attack growing in size before his [Boosted Gea] activated itself
[Boost!]
Yukio's Getsuga Tensho blew away Diodora's attack, skidding along his side and creating a huge hole in the shrine's wall. Diodora's eyes bulging at the large trench Yukio's attack had made in the ground, Yukio swinging his fist to slam against the ground near Diodora to make a large crater, the latter trembling while his teeth chatter even though Yukio missed on purpose. Walking up to him, Yukio dragged Diodora back to his feet before he spoke
"Don't ever get near Asia again! The next time you show yourself before us, then that time I really will blow you away!" Diodora's eyes get dyed with the colour of fear before Ddraig spoke up
[Partner. His heart is already crushed. –His eyes are that of those who have become ingrained with the fear of you]
"Brat deserves it" Isa spoke up, Yukio's eyes returning to normal as he drops Diodora and turns to walk away
"Yukio, aren't you going to finish him off?" Xenovia asked while pointing Ascalon at Diodora, her eyes dangerous cold while her killing intent was all aimed at him as she added seriously
"He might approach Asia again. Don't you think it will be better for the future if we cut off his head here?"
"…This guy is also a relative of the current Maou. Even if he assisted the terrorists, it would cause trouble to Buchou and Buchou's brother if we kill him. I already beat him enough and the Astaroth Clan will punish him along with the Yondai Maou." Yukio replied with a shake of his head, noticing that Rias rose her eyebrows in surprise before closing her eyes as she realised they should let the higher ups deal with Diodora's punishment.
Xenovia looked regretful but then stabs Ascalon onto the floor in an attempt to get rid of even the slightiest bit of anger as she spoke "… I understand. If Yukio is saying that, then I will stop. –But."
"Yeah, that's right." Yukio added both turning to Diodora and pointing their swords at him as they spoke together
" "Don't ever come and talk to Asia again!" " Diodora shook his head numerous times while looking in fear at them. Yukio and Xenovia turning to walk to Asia as the former called
"Asia!" Everyone else gathered around the device as Asia called
"Yukio-san!" Yukio gently patted Asia's head as he spoke relieved
"We came to rescue you, Asia. Hahaha, I did promise you. That I will definitely protect you." Asia started to cry tears of joy at hearing that until Kiba's expression changed as he spoke
"…I can't take off the restraints on her limbs." Yukio moved to pull the restraints off Asia before he growled
"Shit! It won't come off!" From their they try to cut it off with holy-demonic sword, holy sword and even Zanpakuto and demonic energy couldn't cut the restriants.
Then Diodora said it with a very small voice.
"…It's useless. That device can only be used once due to its mechanism, but it's made that it won't stop unless you use it once. –It won't stop unless Asia's ability is activated." Diodora spoke in a very small voice, Yukio turning to him as he asked
"What do you mean?"
"That device is one of the special barriers created by a Longinus possessor. The strong barrier protecting this field was also made by him. [Dimension Lost] is the ultimate barrier-type Sacred Gear. Having the possessor in the center, it spreads unlimited amount of mist. It can seal everything inside its zone and it can even teleport it to a different dimension. When it reaches Balance-Breaker, it changed its ability in which it can create any type of barrier device the possessor wishes with the mists. –[Dimension Create]. The barrier made can't be stopped unless it is activated once properly."
"What's the requirement for activation, and what is the ability of this device?" Kiba asked, Diodora answering instantly
"…. The activation requirement is either I or someone affiliated with us gives the signal to start, or if I was to be defeated. The ability of the barrier is to increase the power of the one in the restraint, in this case Asia, and reverse its effect."
'Reverse?' Yukio thought with a bad feeling in his gut as he realised it would be like the Sitri Game if Asia's healing ability was reversed. Kiba realising to as he asked
"What about the range of its effect?"
"…This field, and the viewing room where the observers are present at." Diodora answered, everyone looking shocked as Rias realised
"…The leaders of each factions might be eliminated…!"
"So they thought of a plan like that with the match against Kaichou!" Yukio asked, Diodora shaking his head before replying
"…No. It seems like the possibility of it was predicted quite some time ago. Except, since the ones in the Sitri group used it, the plan was proved to work…" Rias looked angrily at hearing that before speaking
"The traitor in the fallen-angels remained in the organisation and let Sona borrow [Reverse]. So they gathered data from it and might have been using them!"
'Ddraig, can't you do something about this? You are also a Longinus, right?' Yukio mentally asked, Ddraig shaking his head as he replie
[Not sure, [Dimension Lost] is a higher rank Longinus than the [Boosted Gear]. And if it reaches Balance-Breaker, it's near limitless. Please remember it. Longinus more powerful than the [Boosted Gear] exists.]
"…Shit! Damn it…! What should we…" Yukio spoke frustrated as he slammed his fist on the floor before Asia spoke up quietly
"Yukio-san, destroy this along with…"
"Don't say something stupid! If you say that again, then I will get pissed! I won't forgive you Asia, even if it is you!" Yukio shot back before Asia shook her head and replied
"B-But at this rate, Sensei and Michael-sama will…with my power… If that was to happen I would rather…" Yukio put his hand on Asia's shoulder, looking straight into her eyes as he spoke
"I…! I…! I made an oath that I won't let Asia go through sadness again! That's why I won't let you do that! I will protect you! Yeah, I will! I will definitely protect Asia!"
I cried. But I'm serious. I will definitely protect Asia!
"Yukio-san…" Asia spoke emotional, tears starting to fall down her cheeks as Yukio spoke with a smile
"That's why lets go home together. Onee-san are waiting at home. Let's go back to our house!"
The device activated silently, Yukio gritting his teeth as the group gathered demonic power and reitasu and shot the device again only for it to be unscratched.
[I got it!] Ddriag spoke up eagerly, Yukio pausing as he asked
"What have you got, Ddraig?"
[Look at the fact that Asia is connected directly to the device… with a move enhanced by my power you should be able to shatter the restraints]
{You can't mean that move} Spard added with a groan before Ddraig nodded
[Yes… But you'll need to be in Balance Breaker to build up enough power]
"Right… Balance Break!" Yukio spoke after taking a few steps back and unleashing Ddraig's aura.
[Sub Species Balance Breaker: Red Dragon Spirit Mail]
The helmet of Yukio's armour folded back, the silver haired young man noticing the shocked looks on the others faces as he spoke to Asia "Asia. I will apologise before hand."
"Eh?" Asia asked as she tilted her head adorably, Yukio sheathing his sword and closing his eyes as he was given the details by Ddriag as the jewels on the [Boosted Gear] shone
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!] All of the jewels on Yukio's armour glowed red as the power flows into the hand which was touching the restraint as Sparda spoke up
{Remember imagine Asia without the retraints… That's all you need to destroy remember}
"Armour Break!" Yukio shouted, his power surging as the sound of metal breaking filled his ears along with tearing of clothes. The restraints being destroyed as her clothes suffered as the sleeves were shredded and her skirt shortened.
"Iya!" Asia called out in surprise, Yukio panting as he opened his eyes to see Asia in mostly intact clothing before sighing as Ddraig groaned disappointedly
[Damn it! It's suppose to be Dress Break, Yukio. Why did you have to change things, Sparda?]
{Shut up! If we had your way she would be naked here} Sparda shot back, Yukio sighing as the two spirits started to bicker while the device stopped moments after Asia was released.
"Ara ara, what an interesting technique?" Akeno spoke amused as she fixed Asia's clothes with her demonic power before Rias knocked on Yukio's armour as she asked
"I take it Ddraig came up with that move…Can it destroy anything attached to a person's body?"
"Yeah he did… Originally made it to strip women of their clothes but he wasn't sure about it working on the restraints. After that it was just imagining Asia without the restraints. I think it succeeded because I was in Balance Breaker state and because I was increasing it with Boost version. It feels like I cleared the grey zone." Yukio replied embarrassed
Rias tilted her head as she replied "Hmm, maybe Ddriag's pervert tendencies and wild ideas were also a factor for it" Yukio shrugged as he noticed Diodora looking disheartened before turned at Asia's call "Yukio-san!"
"Asia!" Yukio called, dropping his sword as he moved to hug her tightly as she spoke
"I believed in you… That Yukio-san will come to rescue me."
"Of course. But I'm sorry. You heard something painful right?" Yukio asked concerned, Asia shaking her head before speaking with a smile
"I'm alright. I was shocked that time, but I have Yukio-san with me."
"Asia! I'm glad! If you were to disappear, I…" Xenovia added with teary eyes, Asia wiping them away as she replied
"I won't go anywhere. Since Yukio-san and Xenovia-san will protect me."
"Yeah! I will protect you! Definitely!" Xenovia spoke as she and Asia hugged, Yukio smiling relieved as he watched them before Asia turned to everyone as she spoke, bowing to them
"Buchou-san. Everyone. Thank you very much. For doing this for me…" It was Rias' time to hug the blonde, a bright smile on her face as she spoke
"Asia. It's okay for you to not call me 'Buchou' at home you know? You can think of me as your older sister."
"-! Yes! Rias-oneesama!" Asia replied, Rias and Asia continuing to hug as Gasper cried while getting his head patted by Koneko
"I'm so glaaaaaad! I'm so happppppppy that Asia-sempai returned!"
"Now, Asia. Let's go home." Rias spoke as she released her hold on Asia, who replied
"Yes! But before that, I need to pray."
"Asia. What did you pray for?" Yukio asked, Asia looking shyly at him before she replied
"It's a secret." Asia ran towards Yukio with a smile before a bright pillars of light surrounded Asia, disappearing and taking her with it.
"…Asia?" Yukio called, his eyes wide as he looked at the spot Asia had been standing.
"An object made from a Longinus perishes from the attack of a Longinus, huh. Damn Mist-user, he eased up. It's necessary to readjust the plan." An unfamiliar voice spoke, everyone turning their attention to the unfamiliar man floating in the sky, who was wearing light armour and a cape.
"…Who are you?" Rias asked, the man smirking as he answered
"It's my first time meeting you, sister of the annoying fake Maou. My name is Shalba Beelzebub. The true successor of the Great True Maou Beelzebub. I'm different from the relative of the fake one you fought earlier. Diodora Astaroth, I lent you my power and look at the situation you are in. In the match against Agares, you used Ophis's snake without my authorization and had the enemy predict our plan. You are very foolish indeed."
"Shalba! Please help me! If it is with you, we can kill the Sekiryuutei! If the Old-Maou and Current-Maou were to join forces….." Diodora begged Shalba, only for his eyes to widen as a strike of light from Shalba's hand pierced Diodora's chest.
"Pitiful. I even told you the power of that girl's Sacred Gear and yet you couldn't do anything. That explains how useless you are." Shalba said while laughing, Diodora turning to dust and perishing before Kiba noticed the unfamiliar device on his arm.
Xenovia's whole body trembled in rage at Asia disappearance, Shalba turning to Rias as he spoke in a cold voice with eyes filled with hatred
"Now, sister of Sirzechs. It may be sudden, but I will have you die here. The reason is simple. That is to destroy every blood relative of the current Maou."
"So you mean to kill Glasya-Labolas, Astaroth, and us, the Gremory." Rias asked, Shalba's eyes narrowing before he replied
"That is correct. It is simply displeasing. We, the true successors, to be called the "Old" by you people, the relatives of the current Maou, and it is something very hard to endure." Shalba sighed before he continued
"Our plan ends with this. It is our defeat. I never thought that a [Boosted Gear], a mid-tier Longinus, would win against the [Dimension Lost], a high-tier Longinus. I can only say that this was something we didn't anticipate. Well, we got significant results for future terrorism, so I have to be satisfied with it. Cruzerey died but it won't be a problem. –As long as I'm active, we can still progress even without Vali. The True Beelzebub is great. Now, as my souvenir while returning…. –Sirzechs's sister, I will have you dead."
"You don't challenge the current Maou directly, but kill their relatives, what cowardice!" Rias shot back before Shalba smirked cruelly as he replied
"That's alright. I will kill the family of the current Maou first. It won't mean a thing if we don't have them taste despair."
"-Scum! Most of all, the crime for killing Asia! I absolutely won't forgive you!" Rias' red aura increased to its limit as she raged, Akeno looking angry as well as holy-lightning arced around her body. Kiba taking a ready stance with his holy-demonic sword
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Yukio started laughing in Isa's voice, everyone turning to look at him only for eyes to widen as bone white mask fragments started to form over the right side of Yukio's face as he moved to stand up, a psychotic look on his face as his hollowfied eyes focused onto Shalba
"So you are the one I have to thank for giving that weakling such despair. Shame that the Mist User of yours isn't around and I could thank him personally" Isa spoke with a battle hungry grin as he started to walk forwards.
"Y-Yukio…?" Rias spoke shocked, everyone looking nervously on as Isa leered at Rias and retort nonchalant
"Yukio's not home right now, red… You're little hero lost himself to despair cause of the nun. Oh, he's wishing Asia to come back so they can do the three-legged race now. How pitiful…"
Everyone looked away, not able to look at Isa as he grinned and turned his attention back to Shalba as he started to roll his shoulders and stretch before Rias spoke up with tears in her eyes
"Yukio please come back…"
"I told you he can't hear you… I'm in the driving seat right now and no one is going to stop me" Isa spoke with a emotionless face, Rias' tears increasing before Xenovia let loose her rage as she started to slash at Shalba with Durandal and Ascalon while shouting
"…I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you! I will cut you! I will cut you up and kill you!"
"Futile." Shalba muttered, reflecting the two holy swords with a defense barrier before shooting a demonic bullet into her stomach and knocking her into the ground. The holy swords being pushed away and stabbing into the ground.
"…Return Asia…She is…my friend…! …She is my kind friend… She was kinder than anyone…! Why…!" Xenovia spoke while being in the ground, managing to make her way to one of the holy swords while Shalba turned to Isa as he spoke
"Vulgar reincarnated devil and the dragon which is the same as garbage. The princess of Gremory seriously has a bad taste indeed. That girl disappeared beyond to the dimension. Her body should have perished by now. –It means, she died."
"Yeah I figured that out already old man…" Isa spoke with a smirk, drawing Tensa Amonusen before twirling it idly in his hand as he continued
"I'm going to have some fun testing the limits of my power now and you look like the perfect guinea pig"
{Don't you dare release that power Isa!} Sparda shouted appearing between Isa and Shalba, Rebellion in his grasp as Ddraig called out
[Rias Gremory, leave this place at once. If you don't want to die, then it would be better to leave here immediately. Isa won't care if you are going to get hurt or not so run!]
"Yeah, crimson princess. You should listen to the big bad pervert dragon" Isa spoke in a dark tone, even as he smirked at Sparda as he added
"You can't even stop me old man without hurt your precious great-grandson's body"
{I can hold you off long enough…} Sparda started only for Isa to wave his arm and dismiss Sparda's apparition and speaking in a gleeful tone
"Let's see how much power this body can handle"
[Isa you can't do this… You'll destroy Yukio's body!] Ddraig shouted, only to get dismissed by the Hollow who retort
"Make me" Isa aura exploded violently as he laughed psychotically, the shrine violently shaking as a blood red aura mingled with his crimson-black aura as Isa shouted
"I who is about to awaken…"
It started. Looks like it will start. Several other voices called, mixture of men and women, old and young.
"Am the Heavenly dragon that has stolen the principles of domination from God…."
It was always like that, no matter what. That's not right; it was like that every time.
Isa's face contorted in pain before his eyes widened in fear as he shouted "No! This is my body now, you old fogies won't take it away from me"
[I laugh at the "infinite", and I grieve at the "dream"….]
The one the World seeks…. The one the World rejects...
[I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination…]
It was always power. It was always love.
You guys choose destruction no matter how many times!
The armour started to change, large leathery dragon like wings spreading from Yukio/Isa's back, patches of bone white armour covering them. Silver hair falling out of the back of his helmet to stop at his waist. Bone white veins forming over the blood red gauntlets, pulsing with power while silver fur sprouted around his wrists. Bone white claws forming over his fingers. Bone white armour formed over his thighs and covered his greaves with realisitic claws. A hollow hole formed over the centre jewel on his chest, only being held in place by four stick thin bone white pieces of armour, going through his body completely without affecting him. Bone white armour covered the rest of his black coat making look more scale like while a thick blood red tail emerged from the small of his back. His Hollow mask extended to cover the rest of his face, turning more draconic in appearance as blood red lines ran down from its eyes to the top of the razor sharp teeth while two upside down question mark shaped horns sprouted from his head.
" " " " " " " And I shall sink you to the depths of crimson purgatory!" " " " " " " Came a mixed scream of voices from all of the jewels on the armour.
[Hollow Juggernaut Drive!]
"Gugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Yukio let lose an ear piercing monstrous roar, his surroundings being blown away easily while a blood like red aura was emitted around him. His wings and tail moving as Yukio crouched down and growled as his eyes narrowed before he disappeared in a burst of speed.
"Nggggggggh!" Shalba's scream alerting the others to see Yukio's claws digging into his shoulder, his left arm barely hanging on by a few threads before Yukio pulled it off. Shalba flying back to make some distance between them as he created light with his right arm and shouted as he fired it at Yukio
"Damn you!" Yukio swung his sword at Shalba, the air pressure enough to destroy the light and then splitting Shalba's right arm from hand to elbow as he groaned in pain, blood starting to cover the floor of the shrine. Yukio glanced at the arm he was holding before discarding it.
"Gegogyuuga-gyhugohaaa! Guoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Yukio roared, the jewels of his armour shining before small arms or blades came from out of them as if taunting Shalba.
"Don't screw around with me!" Shalba shouted enraged, holding his mangled arm up to release another light attack at Yukio, one of the dragon's wings glowing with light as the jewels adorning it turned blue and a pulse of light left it
[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!] The pulse of light halved with each call as Yukio used the stolen Hakuryukou's power.
"Vali's power! Damn you! How many times do you have to stand in my way! Valiiiiiii!" Shalba roared, releasing a pulse of demonic power towards Yukio, who dodged just by flapping his wings.
A red ball of energy started to form between his horns, Yukio aiming the Cero at Shalba before it was fired, completely destroying the Old Maou's remaining arm and continuing to rend through wall, floor and ceiling of the shrine before creating a giant explosion far away.
"Nuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Yukio roared, being covered in an enormous amount of red aura which turned the ground underneath him into a huge crater.
"Y-You Monster! A-Are you telling me this is the [Juggernaut-Drive]!? No… This power is a Hollow as well. This is no joke! M-My power should have been raised to that of the former-Maou due to Ophis' power! He has surpassed the Boosted Gear's specs recorded in the data!" Shalba spoke as his expression finally turned to fear, the rest of the ORC watching in a daze. Rias was trembling with wide open eyes, Akeno, Xenovia, Koneko and Gasper were looking at Yukio in fear and even Kiba couldn't stop himself from trembling.
Yukio's wings spread as the Hollowfied Dragon focused on Shalba, the green jewel in his chest glowing brightly as red aura was absorbed into it.
"Ku! I can't die in a place like this!" Shalba spoke as he tried to draw a magic circle with one of his legs only for it to freeze as the eyes on Yukio's armour glowed red.
"…You stopped it! My leg!" Shalba spoke panicked, the ORC realising that Yukio has used something similar to Gasper's Sacred Gear, even as the jewels on Yukio's armour shone as [Boosted Gear] activated
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]
[Longinus Smasher!] An enormous blast of red aura fired from the chest jewel
"Buchou, let's retreat at once! We have to evacuate from this shrine!" Kiba spoke, Rias trying to walk forwards as she spoke
"Yukio…I…"
"My apologies!" Kiba spoke as he grabbed hold of Rias and ran, Akeno leanding her shoulder to Xenovia while Koneko and Gasper followed. Behind them a giant explosion occurred as Shalba shouted his last words before he disappeared in light along with the shrine
"I-Impossible…! I, the true successor of the True-Maou…! I still haven't made a fool out of Vali yet! Beelzebub is greater than Lucifer! Curses! A mere dragon! Red dragon! White dragoooon!"
…
Author's Note
Here's the next chapter. Hope you guys enjoy it especially with both Yukio's Combined Bankai and Scale Mail form and his Hollowfied Juggernaut Form which is a mixture of Ichigo's Vasto Lorde Form and the normal Juggernaut Form. Can't really think of anything else to add to this at the moment aside from the next chapter going to have a few surprises in there.
