Grand Castle
"My Queen is there something you need?" a tall bald man with yellow eyes, dress in a marron robe with white cuirass, black sash and black high-heeled shoes stop in front of the Queen. Roseral who is sited on her thrown turn to her personal mage "Yes, I called you because I want to know more of Nawin Makasha" she requests.
The mage nod summoning his scepter that have a large red gem floating above it "As you wish" he taps the scepter at the floor summoning a large footage above the gem. The Queen watch with interest seeing a full power Nawin going against Sairaorg "Who's the person he's up against?" she asks "That would be Sairaog Bael, he was known as the strongest youth, until was defeated by the Makasha, who now owns that title".
The footage change showing the end of the battle making the Queen see Nawin defeating Sairoarg before he himself collapse to the ground to only be caught by Sirzech "Sirzech… he hasn't change a bit since we last met, though by the looks of it he seems to be very close with the Makasha?" "Yes, the two have an interesting close relationship you can say" "Hmm… show me when he's at his best" Roseral orders making the mage nod tapping the scepter down again.
"Ahhh" Roseral murmur out in fascination seeing Nawin powered up by the draconic marks, glaring at the frighten Katerea Leviathan "He was able to put fear on even the former Satan Katerea "And defeated her too" the mage adds showing the footage of the Makasha severing the descendant of the original Leviathan head.
Roseral stare long at the violent purple aura flowing around the Makasha as he looks down at the corpse of Katerea "May I say something your majesty?" the mage speaks out making the blond nod "I believe you picked the right choice bringing Nawin Makasha here, he will get the job down, also Princess Gremory is no push over too, so the situation should be in safe hands" he said letting go of the specter causing it to fade away.
"Can he transformed?" the Queen ask catching the mage attention "Transformed?" "Yes, the unique ability that allows the devils to transcend to another level, like Sirzech" "Ah, yes I know what you mean now and the answer is no… young Makasha hasn't reach that level yet and let's not forget there's only one in a hundred devil's that has the capability and potential to tap into that kind of power" the mage reply.
Roseral leans back on her throne "Sirzech is the only devil right now that has the ability to transcend to that state correct?" "Not exactly, there's another Satan that can" "Who?" "That would be Serafall Leviathan, your majesty".
The mage glance at his queen "But your majesty for your information Nawin Makasha is only half devil" he informs making Roseral turn to him "I'm aware of that" "So the chance of him getting to such a level is not possible, only gifted pureblood devil ever got the grace to achieve that transformation seeing by the history" "I see… oh well I'm positive now he is strong enough to hunt down the nightwalker and slay it without needing that".
Outer Borders: Swarm
"M-maste-" "Shhh" Hana shivers seeing what's in front of them, just a couple of meters away 'Out of all the creature you had to run into… that is one of the most dangerous' Tairex comment dully, as Nawin clench his teeth staring at the large serpent like creature sleeping on a pond.
'A Bulach… Nawin whatever you do don't get anxious, the thing can hear it's pray heart beatings and if it's loud enough it will catch it same goes with a drop of blood which will make it go on a bloodthirst frenzy' Sairex inform in a serious tone while looking at the huge and long creature from inside the mindscape.
'Never heard of a Bulach before' Nawin reply to his sacred gears as he slowly move behind a tree 'Bulach is a very old almost ancient creature, they are very rare and would usually live in a large swamp or oceans, they are very aggressive creature and has incredible speed to for its large size' 'Only ultimate class or Satan's themselves would stand a chance with that creature, so my advice kid be quiet and do not wake it up or your dead… unless your pretty hydra there transform into her real form, only then will you stand a chance with such a creature' Tairex said with the last part being a hint for the Makasha who easily catches it.
Nawin looks down seeing Hana shaken a bit by the creature appearance 'It's appearance is terrifying' he comments 'Bulach is infamous for that, it's appearance alone can even scare the mightiest warriors' Sairex respond. The Makasha examine the creature appearance closely, it's large abomination like head have six long sharp teeths sticking out from its unclosed mouth, five eyes spread around its head in all angles which is currently closed, it's body looks like a long serpent with sharp fins spreading out from its dirty green color thick skin.
'Those long teeth also allow the creature to suck blood from a larger prey like a leach… Nawin get out of there' Sairex said surprising the Makasha 'I need to find the witch!' 'What good will it do if you are killed before even finding the witch, you aren't in a state to fight such a creature and I can see poor Hana there shaking in fear'.
Nawin snap his head down seeing Hana looking uncomfortable in their current situation judging by her holding onto the sleeve of his shirt tightly clearly, showing how nervous she is. "Hana are you really scared?" he whispers to her in a soft tone "N-no I'm fine really ehehehe" she reassures.
Clearly seeing through her lie the Makasha takes a deep breath and reopening his eyes showing it glowing blood red 'Nawin if you use the speeding shadow god it will startle the Bulach causing it to awaken!' Sairex warn. 'I'm running out of time Sairex, it's going to turn night soon' Nawin hold Hana tightly and glance forward at a tree a few meters past the sleeping creature 'There… now concentrate' he stares hard at the branch then the two suddenly disappear in black flash.
"Thud" Nawin land gently at the branch and glance back "Urg!" he's eyes widen seeing the Bulach opening its many slit yellow eyes which immediately sets sight at the two. "MASTER!" Hana scream seeing the creature immediately spring toward them while widening its terrifying mouth.
"Void Shield" a golden barrier appears in front of the two "Clak!" the creature crash into the barrier causing it to bounce back though the barrier also sustained some large creaks 'That won't survive another assault'. Nawin bring his right hand up "Demonic lighting" a black lighting charge around his palm "You're currently covered in water" Nawin state placing the demonic lighting on the barrier causing the lighting to discharge from it blasting a powerful electric current toward the Bulach.
"Scaaah!" the creature hiss in pain and in a fit of rage use its tail to smash the void shield causing it to shatter into pieces while also sending the two flying back. "Hana, there's a lot of trees here to stand up now! I can't fight seriously while carrying you" Nawin shouts making the hydra nod jumping out of his arms to land one of the branches.
"Master watch out!" Hana shouts seeing the Bulach launching at the black haired "Uh" Nawin tries to turn, but it was too late "NOOOOO!" Hana scream in terror seeing her Master getting swallowed up by the giant creature. The Bulach closed it's mouth causing blood to explode which leaks down it's long teeth.
"M-master" Hana slides down the tree sitting down the branch as she stare at the blood leaking down from the Bulach's teeth with utter shock. "Guh" "Tuk… Tuk… Tuk" Hana's chest start pulsing, as she starts finding herself hard to move "Gyaa" she groan in pain as the beating noise start getting louder.
"Tuk... Tuk... Tuk... Tuk…" Hana's chest pulse at every heart beats, then slowly her muscle starts growing bigger, her shock expression change into rage while her face slowly shape into shapelier look, her eyes glow blood red, the slit pupils starts sharpening, while her fangs grow longer and sharper.
"You" Hana slowly gets up and look up with her hair covering most of her face giving her a menacing look "Took my Master…" the heart beats faster as Hana's claw grows sharper "You think your fearsome… I'll SHOW YOU TRUE TERROR AND WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE PERSON I CARE FORRRR!" Hana's body suddenly explode in blinding light that covers the whole swarm.
"SCWARRRRR!" a booming bellow erupts when the swarm explodes in a gust of wind causing the trees to fly into the air, while the small inhabitant creature flees from the sudden disaster. The Bulach slithers away dodging a gigantic green scaled two arms that stump the ground causing the whole swarm to erupt in destruction.
The Bulach slither farther back seeing a large hydra head pop out from the smoke following by another and another until it's all nine "SCAAARRRRRRRRRR!" all the heads roar causing the large section of the swarm to be vaporize into nothing both a crater ground while the clouds above them are push back into nothingness.
The hydra's heads slowly snap down to the Bulach glaring at it with their red slit eyes causing the smaller creature to slither in caution while trying to match the glare with the bigger creature. Hana's currently filled with rage which slowly start letting go of her conscious and only care of destroying the Bulach causing the inner hydra instinct inside her to take over "Scaaar!" the hydra hiss and one of its head suddenly shoots toward the Bulach biting at its neck.
The Bulach hiss and use its sharp tail to slash the hydra neck which it succeeds seeing as the blood explode underneath the hydra head making it roar in pain, but it wasn't then when it starts lifting the Bulach up and throws it away. The hydra open all its mouth as a large green fire ball start forming, the Bulach shake it's head getting rid of the dizziness and immediately speed toward the larger creature.
The hydra fires all the fireballs "Scaaa!" the Bulach hiss slithering pass the all fireballs and strike the creature's left arm causing the hydra to roar in pain feeling the Bulach multiple long teeth's sink into it's flesh. The hydra use its other arm to crush the Bulach tail forcing it remove its teeth to hiss in pain, but before it could escape all the hydra heads suddenly shoot down and chomp on its head all the way down to its tail making the creature bellow in clear agony from the dozens of razor sharp teeth piercing through its thick skin.
The Bulach wiggles hard trying to escape, but all it does is force the hydra to clench its jaw even tighter making the pain worsen for the creature. The hydra release one of the head and slowly move it in front of the Bulach's face, the head slowly open its mouth forming a large fireball.
The hydra pause hearing a loud engine noise making it turn to see "Vpee!" the twisted etcher blade impales out from the Bulach's stomach and slowly cut down creating an opening where Nawin escape, covered in disgusting blood and guts "Never going to do that again" he mutters resting the sword on his shoulder while using his other hand to unwrapped the intestine from his neck and wipe the blood from his face.
'Never do that again Nawin-kun… you almost gave me a heart attack' a distress Sairex mumbles 'AHAHAHAHAH, don't listen to that wimp kid, that took balls to execute, so I applaud you!' Tairex laugh in menacing style clearly enjoying the blood and guts splattering all over the ground.
"Mhm" Nawin turn back to be met with one of the hydra head staring right at him "… Hydra?" he calls out confuse though quickly turn alarmed when it releases the fireball right at him. "Shit!" Nawin jumps back and quickly throw the twisted etcher to the right, stabbing into the ground allowing him to disappear in black flash narrowly dodging the attack.
"Damn, she's lost it" Nawin appear beside the twisted etcher and quickly grabs it back 'Woah, the hydra sure did some damaged to the Bulach' Tairex whistle clearly impress at the bloody display. "I need to kill the Bulach then deal with Hana" Nawin quickly jumps back when the hydra head slams down to the ground intending to squash.
"It's pinned down, so all I need is one move" Nawin levitate up and start spinning the twisted etcher, slowly lighting start charging around the razor-sharp chains blade "Now!" the Makasha speeds down bringing the sword forward "Haa!". The Bulach hiss in immense pain when the Makasha pierce right at its head making it quickly fall to the ground "Still alive I see" Nawin state seeing the creature still moving "You are one tough creature to kill" he lift the twisted etcher up and stab even deeper into the Bulach head, after a few seconds it's body lie motionless.
Nawin dispel the twisted etcher and stand back up 'Kid, watch out!' Tairex shouts making the Makasha look up seeing the hydra bringing its large arm down. "Boom!" the whole forest rumble, when the dust cleared it shows the Bulach's squished head laying bloody on the ground. All the hydra heads release their grip and turn to a tall tree next to it where the Makasha is currently standing.
Nawin release a sigh and cross his arms behind his back waiting patiently for the hydra next move as he stares at the large creature blankly. Suddenly all the hydra heads shoot toward him "You wouldn't really hurt me would you… Hana" when inches away from the Makasha, the hydra pause and slowly stare closely at the black haired and to his surprise he sees tears slowly run down the creature's eyes.
The hydra slowly backs away "Return to your human form Hana" Nawin command bringing his right hand up showing the hydra insignia glowing brightly then immediately the hydra body explode in a cloud of smoke. When the smoke clears, the Makasha sees a figure sitting at the center of a enormous creator where the large hydra once stood "Huh" he jumps down the tree and slowly descents.
Hana stare down at the ground blankly until a light footstep snap her back and make her look up to see her Master looking down at her with his concern eyes "You ok?" he asks making the green haired eyes waters and quickly she hugs him crying freely. Nawin accept the hug and softly brush her soft green hair "It's ok, everything is fine" he mutters soothingly calming her down.
After a minute Hana slowly release the hug and wipe the tears away before turning to her Master "… You stink" she states turning back to her jovial self, the Makasha sweat drop remembering all the blood covered around his body "Well you got it too" he points out making the green haired to look down and to her horror she sees her once beautiful kimono is now covered in blood.
"MASTER!" Hana scream sending a barrage of soft punches which the Makasha block all using his right hand "You were the one to hug me" he states stopping the assault by grabbing her wrist gently. "What an interesting sight, Mhhh" a mysterious voice speaks before creaking a laugh out making the two turn "Uuh!".
Shigemi: Far North
"Hiyaa!" Rias snap the strap making the house sprint into full gallop "We should be there soon and have some little time left to spare" Emyr state riding beside the Gremory, currently is checking his pocket watch. "Rahhh" suddenly a dead looking hand pop up from the ground in front of the two "What the?!" Rias snap the straps again making the horse jump up narrowly dodging the hand.
Emyr eyes narrow "We honestly shouldn't be out here at this kind of time" he states making the Gremory turn to him "What do you mean by that?" "It happened a decade ago, out of nowhere at night Shigemi was surrounded by monsters and spirits. We don't know where they come from, but it's clear there's a vile magic running down at the root of Shigemi" he explains making Rias look at him shock.
"Even after a decade you still haven't found the answer?" Rias ask making the captain nod "Yes, Division 3 has been investigating this phenomenon for a long time and still found little to no answer for its sudden appearance, that's why at night all of the civilians are ordered to stay in their houses with their family while my knights and the guards roam the land to slay the monsters, keeping them away from the villagers".
Rias notice a black figure speeding out of the forest and toward them in terrifying speed "Destruction!" she blasts a destruction ball making the creature jump up and fly down toward her "Hm" Rias pull her right hand, making the ball speed back smashing right behind the creature causing it to be completely vaporize.
"We're almost there" Emyr said staring at the tall hill in the distance and see couple of ancient looking building emerging when they get closer. "Rias look forward" the captain points out making the crimson haired turn to see a couple of carriages already parked at the center of the hill "No time to waste then" she said speeding forward.
"Rias wait" Emyr call out but falls to deaf ears when the Gremory jumps out of the horse and release her wings "Oh dear" he jumps out of his house and rush toward the buildings. Rias glare down at all the henchman "I won't kill them… but I will make them feel pain" she said as dozens of crimson destruction balls appear behind her.
Kaz leans on the wagon tapping his feet impatiently "Where are they?" he mutters out before taking a glance back seeing his henchmen's loading out the barrels from the wagon. "What's that?" one of the men place the barrel down and points up making everyone else look up as well seeing dozens of crimson balls speeding down toward them.
"Shit!" Kaz curse and immediately roll down the wagon as the balls speed toward all the henchmen, smashing right at their face's and necks causing all of them to collapse down the ground, knock out. Kaz can hear his teeth chattering as cold sweat start rolling down his forehead.
"Psh" a foot land on the ground making the bold man look forward seeing a long brown combat boot standing in front of the wagon "Gaaahhhh!" Kaz screams when the wagon is lifted up, showing Rias glaring down at him with her crimson eyes "You" she clenches the wagon tightly causing it to in glow crimson then in a blink of an eye it extinguishes into small crimson particles causing the bold man to shiver in utter fear.
Rias walk toward the frozen man and grabs him by the collar then slams him into a stone pillar "Gah!" Kaz cry out in pain, feeling one of his ribs just broke from the impact "W-when they come you'll be sorry!" he yells trying to sound threatening which failed quickly when he sees a smirk plastered on the Gremory face "When they come… I will annihilate them" she retorts in such confidents that it broke Kaz hope entirely.
Emyr who stood a few steps away looks at the Gremory with slight surprise expression 'Her power… it's amazing, I never expected her to be that strong'. Emyr shake his head and look at the distance "Rias, I'm sensing two magic signature making its way here" he informs making her nod before her attention is turn back to Kaz "Move even an inch and I will annihilate you from existence" she mutters clearly daring the man to move which will give her the excuse to kill him.
Kaz shakily nod back making Rias release her grip making him slowly slid down the pillar and sits on the ground. "Hmm" the Gremory glance to the right at the broken-down entrance seeing two figure wearing black cloaks causing her eyes to widen in alarm, but she quickly calms down when there's no red rose insignia shown around the cloak. 'Huh… if it was the Akumi's, things would have gotten complicated'. Emyr stop beside the Gremory as the two cloak figures stop a few meters away from them to examine the scene in front of them.
"This wasn't what I was expecting" the one on the left said with a soft calm voice clearly not bothered by the event that has unfold "Huh expected that idiot to fail at some point" the other said in a deep rugged voice showing annoyance. Emyr perk up slightly hearing the last person voice 'It can't be him… can it?' "Not expecting a captain to be here" the right one said staring at Emyr "Good to see you again… Zen" "Huh… I expected nothing less of you Captain Emyr, you were always a sharp individual".
The right figure pulls the hood back showing a wild and aggressive looking man, he has a long face with a few scars shown on the forehead and right cheek. He has sturdy brown eyes and long spiky brown hair, he's very tall and clearly packing a muscular built behind the cloak. "Who is he?" Rias whisper to Emyr "Zen, a former lieutenant of Division nine, but left after Bronwen join as third seat and soon to be taking the lieutenant spot".
"You gone rouge for such simple reason Zen, it's a shame what you have gotten yourself into" Emyr state causing the former lieutenant magic to skyrocketed up when yellow aura explodes around him causing the ground erupt and the buildings crumble. Rias examine the power of a lieutenant closely 'Amazing, his power is reaching to full ultimate-class… that means' she glances toward Emyr 'The captain must be near Satan-level in power'.
"That bastard Bronwen doesn't deserve to be there!" Zen shouts with pure hatred shown toward the third seat "He defeated you in a battle, you just couldn't accept it could you" Emyr retort back causing Zen to scream in rage and immediately charge toward the two.
"I got this Rias, you take care of the other one" Emyr said running toward Zen, the two draw their swords and clash causing the ground to rumble "Think you are a match against me?" Emyr takes a step forward pushing his blade forcing Zen to step back "I always hated you, I'll take pleasure of beating that good-looking face of yours!" Zen send a quick upper cut using his free hand sending Emyr flying to the air. "Haah!" Zen appear up top and slams both his hands down at the captain's stomach sending him shooting straight to the ground, down the hill.
Rias stare at the individual who hasn't move a muscle since the battle began "If you would be so kind to move out of the way, so I can receive those barrels and be on my way" he said kindly making Rias clench her hands "And what are you planning to do with it?!" "It's for my master" he replies simply making the Gremory eyes narrow "The nightwalker?" she responds making him laugh "Ohohohoh, I won't say much more".
The individual stop laughing and sighs when seeing the crimson haired is not planning to move "I really don't want to fight, but you have forced my hands" Rias gets into her fighting stance as crimson aura start swirling her "You will have to go through my corpse to even think about touching those barrels" she utters.
"I hate to kill such a beautiful girl like yourself, but fin-" the cloak figure pause when Rias dash forward and bring her fist down making him jump away "Boom!" the ground shatters when Rias fist lands down "Ha!" she sends a right kick which the individual caught with his hand then proceed to throw her back.
Rias backflip and was about to get into stance "Ah" a sudden knee to the chin send her flying up, she snaps her eyes open seeing the person appearing on top of her bringing his right fist down "You'll have to do better than that!" in the last second she brings both arms up blocking the attack just in time and returns a quick knee to the person stomach making him groan in pain.
Rias quickly release her wings and flaps it making her spine behind the person "Take a technique from my little brother!" she shouts smashing her right fist down on the individual back sending him downward, speeding toward the ground "Ha!" Rias slam another fist making the two of them speed closer to the ground 'Now for the finisher' Rias spins and sends a dropkick to the back of the man when they are just at the surface of the ground.
Rias back flip landing on the ground safely before looking up to see the person is completely buried face first in the earth 'All though Nawin does it in front of his opponents, I decided to do from behind… hope he doesn't mind I use it'. "Very interesting combo there" Rias turns seeing the person slowly getting up and dust their cloak "You must have a very skilled brother to create such a dangerous technique" Rias eyes narrow hearing the tone the person used when talking about the Makasha 'It's like they know that Nawin-kun is the person who created that technique…'.
"Haa!" Zen slam his long sword down causing the ground to erupt "Still have that freakish strength I see" Emyr state appearing beside the surprise brown haired "Uarh!" the captain deliver a quick right hook sending Zen sliding back. "It's a shame, you could have made a good captain for division nine in a few hundred years' time, but you just let your personal tedious feeling get in the way".
Zen glare at the captain with rage ten charges toward him with full intent to kill "Not good enough" Emyr side step dodging the downward slash and send a backhand to Zen face then finish it with a kick to the face sending him staggering back. "You're a hundred years too early to be facing me" Emyr state blankly, crossing his arms.
"You think so… well luckily I have gotten a boost of my power!" suddenly Zen magic shoots up the roof blasting the field of grass into crater "Uuh" Emyr eyes widen slightly feeling the brown haired power getting higher and higher "Ha!" Zen appear in front of Emyr and send a blinding powerful jab to his stomach, knocking the wind out of the captain "Now we're even!" while Emyr is bend over holding his bruise stomach, Zen send an elbow to the back of his head sending him crashing to the ground.
"Look who's eating the dirt now!" Zen state with a cocky smirk then slams a foot down Emyr's head. "That so" a voice said from behind shocking the brown haired "W-what!" he mutters seeing Emyr's body shatters in glass "Gahh!" a gush of blood explodes when a rapier blade is thrust out from Zen's abdomen.
Zen quickly thrust his sword back forcing Emyr to pull his weapon and jump away "Urgh!" the brown haired stagger forward "That little power boost won't help you" Zen looks up seeing Emyr staring at him with his cold blue eyes that shows hidden menace in them.
"Hmm" Rias gets into her stance readying her opponent to make a move "I say this has gone on long enough" he announces suddenly before gently lifting the hood up "Ah?!" the Gremory eyes widen in shock seeing herself staring at a glowing red slit eyes.
"Rias!" "Huh?!" Rias snap her head up seeing Issei coming down from above "Haaaah!" he slams the boosted gear down at the enemy causing a large explosion. When the dust is cleared, she sees Issei standing over the enemy corpse "Well that was easy" he comments a bit disappointed before turning to her and send his trademark grin.
Rias smile and run toward her boyfriend "Issei!" she gives him a big hug "I could have taken him, but I'm glad to see you" she comments with a big smile "Hehehe, sorry about that, but no one hurts my girlfriend!" he states making her giggle. "… Except for me" Rias look up at him confuse "Hmm?" "Spush!" a sudden sound of blood explodes "I…I-Issei…" blood sip down the Gremory's mouth as her face slowly change into utter shock "Urg-gu" she looks down seeing the boosted gear penetrating through her chest.
Rias looks up to see Issei looking down at her with his menace glowing emerald eyes "You have run out of your uses" he said with a venomous dark tone before ripping the boosted gear out making the Gremory fall to the ground as blood gush down her chest.
Issei stand over the prone Gremory looking down at her with a sadistic grin "I-Issei" Rias mutter looking at him with heartbroken and pain expression "W-w-why?" "As I said you've ran out of your uses, there's nothing left for you to give me" he retorts back before lifting the boosted gear up and start forming a rotation "Good bye… Rias" he said then slams the rotation down at the Gremory head "Gush!".
"Kyaaaa, NOOOOOO!" "RIAS, SNAP OUT OF IT!" the Gremory opens her eyes showing Nawin shaking her shoulder, waking her up "N-nawin!" she embraces the Makasha tightly and start tearing up "Your power shot up, so I immediately teleported here using your magic signature" he explains "W-what about" Rias looks behind seeing the enemy is lied on the ground "I got rid of him before he could even move" Nawin state blankly then helps her up.
Rias thanks the Makasha and wipe her tears before making way toward the enemy "Who could this be?" she mutters grabbing the hood and rips it "U-urgh, n-no!" Rias stumble back with shock shown on her face "A…A-akeno!" she shouts seeing the raven haired lying dead in the creator, Rias quickly look back to see Nawin staring at her with his menacing blood red eyes.
"N-no, no, no, no!" Rias looks around seeing corpses start appearing showing Yuuto, Xenovia, Issei, Kokoro, Asia, Lucy, Sona, Koneko, "NOOOOO!" Rias close her eyes unable to look anymore before turning to the Makasha "N-nawin" she cries out at him, seeing him holding a bloody twisted etcher "W-why did you do this… No!" Rias grab her head and start shaking "THIS CAN'T BE REAL!" she shouts glaring at the stoic Makasha.
"THIS ISN'T REEEAALLL!" She screams as her crimson eyes glow brightly, glaring at the dark sky "AHHHHHHHHH!" crimson aura explodes around the Gremory and shoots up to the skies making it slowly creak "HAAAAAAAAAAAA" Rias scream releasing all her power causing the world around her to crumble showing a bright light shining through the dark skies before everything envelope in white.
"Hah!" Rias snap her eyes open seeing herself back at Leycon hill "Damn it!" she curses turning behind to see the barrels have all gone "He must have placed a powerful illusion on me" "Boom!" large explosions can be heard down the hill "Garh!" Rias slam her right fist down causing a crater to form "I let them get away with the barrels" she mutters in anger directing at herself.
"Ha!" Zen launch his sword forward intending to pierce through the captain's armor "Huh" Emyr's sigh bringing his right hand up grabbing the blade causing it to stop "Now take this!" Zen grins letting go of his sword and appear behind Emyr to send a heavy kick, but it is block with Emyr bringing his left arm up "Not good enough" he states in a dull tone.
Zen smirk "Is that so" he suddenly disappears and reappear in front of Emyr "Is this good enough!" Emyr gets on full alert seeing Zen about to punch his sword pummel which would shoot the blade right through the armor and his heart. "Puh!" the two are surprise when Rias appear in front of Emyr and catch Zen right hand "Urgh" the brown haired clench his teeth in pain when the Gremory hold onto his hand tightly and pull it to the side "You will come back with us to Lilios and answer all our question" Rias state darkly clearly in a foul mood.
"Ha… Haha… HAHAHAHAHA" Zen burst into laughter "AHAHAHAHA, oh girl that's funny, I would rather kill myself then head back to that retched city and like I would tell you anything, I'm just a hired thug!" he retorts making the Gremory eyes sharpen.
"I see… so you are just a useless thug" she states extending her right hand at Zen's face and slowly opens her palm that start glowing in crimson aura "… Annihilate" "HARRHAAAAAA" Zen let out an agonizing scream as his whole body starts disintegrate into small crimson particles that dissipate into nothingness.
When Zen whole body is completely erased from existence the scream stopped leaving only silence "Urh" Emyr stare at the Gremory's back with utter shock seeing her just killed a former lieutenant with such ease 'Not killed… more like extinguished him from existence' Emyr stare at the Gremory with slight caution 'She may be even more powerful than Nawin Makasha, even though her magic strength may not be at the same league as his, her destruction techniques well makes up for it…'.
"The other one escaped with the barrels" Rias explain turning to Emyr and grabs the sword out from his hand "I see, he may have been the mastermind behind this" he said making the Gremory shake her head as she clench Zen's sword tightly making it disintegrate "He's just a servant that was sent to deal with the task" "Can you explain to me how he was able to escape… after seeing that display, I find hard to believe you could have allowed him to escape" Emyr questioned.
Rias shake her head and rub her eyes, reopening them showing it'd turn back to normal color "He placed a powerful illusion on me, while I was trapped in it he must have teleported the wagon's out of here and to their hideout" Emyr raises an eyebrow 'Now her tone is back to normal… when she was talking to Zen, her tone was much more mature and commanding, like her personally completely change' he release a tired sigh deciding to think about this later and should focus on the current task now.
"At least we didn't come out of this empty handed, we now know that someone is behind the nightwalker incident" Emyr speaks out then make his way up the hill with Rias following closely behind "I want to question Kaz since there may be other group of thugs that are supplying those… stuff to them" she requests "Of course, let's take him back to Lilios and we can start interrogating him tomorrow" "Thank you".
Walking behind the captain, Rias look at her right hand and slowly clench it '… what was that power?' she mutters mentally while thinking back at the scene that happened a few moments ago 'Annihilate… I remember Onii-sama saying those exact words once' Rias close her eyes trying to remember, but only blank is shown causing her to sigh 'I'm just too tired now, I'll have to wait tomorrow when my head is straight'.
Shigemi: Main Road
"Elise! There's a few of them following us!" Issei shouts looking back seeing some dark figures speeding toward them "Then deal with them!" she yells back trying to focus on the road. Issei summons the boosted gear and fires a dragon blast making all of them scatter from the group formation "Damn, they keep dodging my attack!".
"Issei!" Elise shouts making the Hyoudou turn to the side "Oh crap" another large figure slams into the horse causing all of them to fall on the ground "Urrr" Issei groan and slowly open his eyes to see a large figure standing in front of him holding a large club which is coming down right at him 'Partner!' Ddraig yell making the Hyoudou snap out of it and quickly lift his arms up in defense.
"Scream Blood Queen!" a crimson blast cut the club in half making the figure stop its motion and look at it in confusion "Issei strike!" Elise yell "Right!" he shouts back and jumps forward slamming the boosted gear at the figure stomach sending it flying back.
"What's that?!" Issei ask as Elise stop beside him "A Cyclops" she answers lifting her sword up "Let's make this place brighter" she said as the blade of her sword shine in bright crimson around the area showing the creature appearance. The Cyclops stands about 11 feet tall, it has thick brown skin, large muscular figure with strong arms and legs, it wears a simple hide made of animal that is wrapped around it's pelvis.
The Cyclops stand back up then glares at the two with its single brown eye "Watch out!" Elise push Issei back and swing her sword firing a close-range crimson blast showing three normal ghouls staring at them with their misty white eyes. "Urh, ghouls…I hate them" Issei comments getting to his fighting stance "Dealt with them before?" Elise ask bringing her sword up "Yeah, though the ghouls that invaded my town is a bit different from these and more powerful" he respond "Hmm, there are several kinds of Ghouls out there".
Elise gets to her stance staring down at the ghouls as they crawl around slowly trying to find an opening "Issei deal with the cyclops, I'll deal with them" "Alright". Elise glance back at the Hyoudou "Go all out Issei, we need to finish this quickly before more monsters start showing up" she advises making him look at her surprise "All out you say?" "Yes, before more monsters start showing up" she repeats.
'Just do it partner, what is there to hide' Ddraig said making the brown haired sigh 'Alright'. Issei cross his arms into an X shape in front of his face "Ha!" "Huh?!" Elise glance back in shock seeing red aura explode around the Hyoudou, surrounding him completely causing the earth beneath them to be demolish, making the ghouls jump back while the cyclops stare at the brown haired with confuse expression.
When the light dies down it shows Issei standing strong with emerald light emitting around his outline body, he glares at the cyclops with serious expression shown in his face and eyes, gone with the childish and goofy behavior. "One hit is all I need" he states clenching the boosted gear gauntlet tightly.
"RAAAAAAHH!" the cyclops let out a powerful roar and immediately stump toward the Hyoudou "RAAH!" the monster brings both its hand down at the Hyoudou "Psh!" the ground explodes from the force, when the dust clears "That all you got?" Issei ask blocking the attack with his left hand 'Good job promoting to rook at the last second partner' Ddriag praise with a smile liking how his owner is serious for once.
Issei push the cyclops back and send a devastating right hook at its stomach knocking the monster far back, seeing it bounces across the land before disappearing into the forest. "Kyaaar!" Elise turn to see the three ghouls jumps toward her, bringing their sharp claw forward "Low-level ghouls such as yourselves should know when they are clearly overpowered" the princess state, simply slashing her shining crimson blade forward firing a large blast which disintegrates the ghouls into oblivion.
"I guess that's all!" a cheerful voice comment making Elise turn to see Issei resting his arms behind his head and have that goofy smile back on his face. Elise look at the Hyoudou weirdly though it slowly turns into a smile "Hahaha, you are sure weird at times Issei" she reply as her sword turn back to its base form.
"Um, where's Saber Elise?" Issei ask looking around for the horse with worry "Don't worry, I ordered her to run back to Lilios herself so she wouldn't be in danger" Elise said sheathing her sword back.
Issei scratch his head then sends the princess a confuse look "Then how are we supposed to get back?" Elise chuckle "Hahahaha, don't worry there's an easier and much faster way back, now hold my hand" she said extending her left hand forward.
Elise close her eyes and start to concentrate '…Ok there you are… why hasn't he grab my hand yet?' Elise open her eyes seeing Issei looking at her hand with a tint of pink spread around his cheek clearly showing slight embarrass and hesitation "Issei it's just holding hands" she comments simply, as sweat drop roll down behind her head, seeing how the Hyoudou is making such a big deal over something like this 'He's sure faithful to the Gremory, I'll say that much'.
Issei chuckle and bring his left hand up to hold Elise's "Ok and we're off" the two instantly disappear from the field.
Grand Castle
"Waah!" the two crash into an unexpected soft ground "Oh, this feels comfortable" Issei smile not intending to get up and just lay on this surface for a while "Issei get up please" Elise whisper making him groan then looks up causing his facial expression to turn into shock when seeing Ceri looking at both of them blankly while dressed in a cute purple pajama clearly ready to head to bed.
Ceri grab a notebook from the drawer and writes on it before showing it to him 'My bed… get off now' "Ahehehe" Issei laugh sheepishly and jumps out of the comfortable bed "Sorry" he bows at the princess who's giving him the blank stare causing him to sweat drop 'She can give Teme a run for his money on giving the blankest stare possible'.
Elise chuckle scratching her head and send her little sister a nervous smile "Sorry for just appearing like that Ceri" the silver haired girl writes on her notepad and show it to her older sister 'Why do you always pick my magic signature?' "Because yours is the most noticeable and powerful enough for me to sense it from a great distance" Ceri continues to write 'Why not Mom's?' Elise shivers "Not such a wise idea teleporting to Mom, last time I did it I appear in a… bad time and got… well you know".
Ceri sighs and turn to the Hyoudou seeing him leaning on a wall staying in the background "Eh!" he yips when the silver haired girl point at him, even though she may be small and cute, something about her blank face makes her a bit intimidating.
"You want me to come over?" Issei ask pointing himself then to Ceri "Spou!" "ISSEI!" Elise shouts seeing the Hyoudou still hasn't dispel the boosted gear and just accidently fired a small dragon blast toward her sister. "GAAAH!" Issei scream seeing the blast is inches away from the small girl "…" Ceri blinks causing the blast to stop then suddenly disperse.
Issei eyes widen in utter shock seeing the young princess just stop one of his main technique by doing nothing 'I-I mean it may not be in full power, but still!' 'That girl is sure interesting' Ddraig comment studying the girl from the mindscape.
Ceri eyebrow twitches in slight annoyance then sends a glare toward the Hyoudou making him shiver "S-sorry about that" he bows, dispelling the boosted gear making it shatter into pieces and disappear.
Ceri writes on the notepad and shows it to the two 'Get out of my bedroom now, before I do something bad' Elise sweat drop "Alright we will leave, but first!" she grins and pick up the cute girl and give her a big kiss on the cheeks "Good night little sis and have a sweet dream!" after saying that Elise quickly grab Issei and bolt out of the room.
Time Skip
After running away from a moody Ceri, Elise and Issei head to the large living room "Ahhh!" Issei moan out happily jumping down onto a comfortable couch while Elise take a seat on another set of couch beside him. "By the way, why did we just bolt out of your sister room?" he asks the princess after getting comfortable at the couch "Oh she can be a bit embarrass by my affection toward her, especially if other people witness it, so for our wellbeing it's best we got out of there after I said goodnight to her" Elise reply with a smile.
Issei chuckle "Ahaha, you sure are a good sister to her" he comments making the girl smile "Thanks, I'd do anything to protect her" she said causing the Hyoudou to chuckle "You sound just like Teme" Elise turn to him confuse "Teme?" "I mean Nawin, he has two sisters that he would do anything to protect them, even risking his own life… I don't think I've ever met a person who cares so much for their sibling like him".
Elise raise an eyebrow in interest after hearing this new information "I've never thought him to be that kind of people… my first impression of him is a bit bland like I thought he just come here get down to business, take care of the nightwalker, get the reward then head back" she admits making Issei look at her with amusement "That's nothing like him, the last thing on his mind is money since he has plenty of that because of his parent's".
"Great, I feel kind of guilty thinking him as just a mere mercenary" Elise comments a bit depress "I'm just glad you didn't say all of that in front of Akeno or you'd be dead right now" Issei response with slight fear picturing the obsessive Himejima. Elise turn to him confuse "Why would she be mad? "Nawin is her lover and she herself is a bit… overprotective with him".
Elise sweat drop hearing that before letting out a weak chuckle "You guys sure are a strange bunch, but in a good way" she smiles with slight envy "I can see all of you care for each other very much… almost like a family". Issei grins "Hehehe yeah, you can say that" "Though I'm kind of bum out that we can't bring everyone, it would be cool to introduce you to the rest of the group" he said scratching his cheek while Elise smile "Maybe one day".
'Partner… please tell me you aren't that blind?' Issei blinks at the welsh dragon sudden comment 'Huh?' Ddraig let out a long sigh 'I'm saying that you might just have a new piece sitting right in front of you' Issei blinks staring at Elise who's taking a sip from a cup of tea 'You think Elise would accept it?' 'Yes, she seems to have taken a liken to you and I can see she's a bit envious about you having this big family relationship with the others'.
Issei face shows doubts 'Why would she be envious? She has her own family here' 'You've been spending almost all day with her, have you seen how much little friends she has?' '… I guess you do have a point' 'She seems like a person who doesn't have much friend and is secretly craving for one' Issei looks at Elise who's still drinking the tea quietly, staring at the ground with a confuse expression like she's trying to come up with something to say.
'You can be her first real friend if you want to Issei, I believe it will benefit both of you' Ddraig said '… I'm not going to be her friend just so she can join my peerage, I'll do it because I just want to' Issei reply making the welsh dragon secretly smile seeing how kind the Hyoudou heart is.
"So Elise how long have you been training to join Sir Emyr's squad?" Issei decide to strike a conversation "Oh… it took me about five years" she respond happily, glad that the Hyoudou start a conversation before things could get awkward. Issei look at her surprise "Wow! Really five years it took you to be strong enough to join a division".
"Well, it would usually take even longer like twice as long since you would have to go to the Academy to train to become one of the knights, but I got a private tutor who thought me everything I need to know, so I took a shortcut… I didn't want to do that way, but my mother was kind enough to find me a tutor and I couldn't simply refuse her offer" Elise explain placing the tea down.
Issei grins "I can see the training paid off, you were amazing at the arena. I've never seen such a devastating move before!" he exclaims making the brown haired girl blush a bit while rubbing her head "Ahahah, thank you Issei".
The two continues to chat for another hour before Elise said it's late and decide to go to bed, but before that she leads the Hyoudou out of the castle "Thanks for the talk Issei… it was really fun" she said with a bright smile causing the brown haired boy to blush a bit before giving her a goofy grin "Ahaha, no problem it's nice to get to know you better Elise".
"Well, goodnight I'm getting a bit tired myself" Issei said then a sudden yawn escape from his mouth making the girl giggle "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow Issei, goodnight" Elise wave as the guard shuts the gates causing a barrier to activate around the castle.
Issei waves back then turns around and head back to the Inn "Issei" a voice calls out making the Hyoudou turn to the right seeing Rias walking out of the shadows holding a serious expression "Rias!" he exclaims happily running toward his girlfriend giving her a big hug.
Issei smile waver feeling the crimson haired didn't return his hug making him pull back and look at her with worry seeing her expression turn to troubled "Something wrong?" he asks soothingly "… It's been a rough day and I've seen somethings I'd wish I never would" she mumbles with clear sadness.
"You want to talk about it?" the Hyoudou ask softly giving her shoulder a comfort squeeze, Rias look up and give him a small smile "No, there's too much on my mind at this moment, so let's just head to bed then I can explain it tomorrow morning with everyone" "I understand" Issei reply then suddenly scoops the Gremory up on his arms making her yip in surprise "I shall carry you back then!" he proclaims with a big grin.
Rias can't help but smile at her lover bright personality shining even when hers is down at the moment "Thanks" she mumbles laying her head on his chest before slowly closing her eyes.
Swamp
"Who are you?" Hana ask getting in front of her master and stare hard at the short individual wearing a brown cloak that covers their full body and face. Nawin grab Hana's shoulder and pulls her to the side allowing him to step forward "I presume you're the witch who resides here?" he comment making the person give up a deep wicket chuckle "Ahhh, such a handsome boy and smart too… You are correct, I am the witch who been living in these swamps for decades and it seems your pet has made a mess here" the witch comment looking at the dozens of large craters spread about the swamp.
"But I guess when fighting a Bulach this kind of destruction is inevitable" the witch comment as Nawin stare at her closely while keeping on full guard "Yes, the Bulach wasn't an easy opponent, but there's a reason why we're here" he said catching the witch attention "I had figure… what is thee reason of being here?".
"Show her Hana" Nawin command making the green haired nod and bring her right hand up where the jar appears showing the nightwalker's fur "Ohh" the witch looks at the fur with interest "Have you heard of a creature that's been roaming in Shigemi? Nightwalker it's called" Nawin explain.
"I already know of it boy, the birds have told me" the witch respond "Ok, now the reason why I came here is to ask you to use your magic and help us locate the nightwalker whereabouts" Nawin said, crossing his arms. "Heheheheh, you think I would waste my time and mana to help you child? You obviously don't know about us witches well" the woman crack a laugh making Hana wince at the high pitch voice while the Makasha's eyes narrow.
'Nawin I will only say this once don't use that on her' Sairex said clearly angry reading what the Makasha is currently thinking 'Do what she says and if you use that, I will lock my power away from you!' he warns causing Nawin to eyes widen slightly never thinking the holy dragon would take such drastic degree from stopping him to use that power.
Nawin click his teeth in annoyance, glaring at the ground before taking a deep breath and looks up at the witch "What do you want us to do?" "Oh" the witch mutter amaze by the Makasha choice of words "Simple, we help you and you help us" he responds making the witch laugh causing Hana eyebrow to twitch in annoyance getting sick of that laugh since for her it's ten times louder because of her enhanced six senses.
"Be careful of your choice of word boy, what happen if my wish is for you to kill the hydra for causing this much devastation on my swamp" the witch said making Hana clench her teeth and glance back at her master 'Then I would tell you to go fuck yourself' the Makasha retorts in his mind, but decide to reply in a more formal manner
"Sorry, but that would be an impossible request, she's my familiar and I need her alive to solve this nightwalker case" Nawin respond making Hana flinch a bit as her heart clench in slight pain 'Those he really think I'm just a tool to use to solve this case...'.
The witch let out a deep chuckle "Even though you show darkness and cold outside there's pure inside of you boy… But lucky for you, I'm one of the more generous witch here and you already do me a favor by getting rid of that pesky beast Bulach since it's been destroying my crops and taken my animal's" Nawin sigh in relief "I'm glad to hear that since we really need to know the nightwalker location now" he looks up at the sky "It's already dark and the beast is currently loaming around the land as we speak".
"Hmm, bring me the jar hydra" the witch said motioning Hana to come forth making her glance back at her master who nods "Alright" she said jumping up the large stone where the witch is stood. "Open the jar and pass me the fur" she orders irking the hydra but decide to do as she was told and pass the fur to the witch.
Hana eyes widen a bit seeing the witch bringing her hand up to grab the fur showing her thin and clearly old hands which is tint with green on her brownish skin 'This is a powerful witch…'.
Nawin's pupils narrow also seeing the witch slight appearance 'Watch your words carefully Nawin-kun, this witch is very powerful that even you will have trouble' Sairex warn sensing powerful magic looming around the mysterious witch. The witch hold the patch of fur and slowly it starts to glow in blue magic then floats up above her palm.
A few moments of silent pass the fur slowly lands back on the witch's palm "It's already on the move and it may be too late for you two to get there" she said making Nawin eyes narrow "Just tell us, I can get us there in a flash" he responds. The witch chuckle "I see, the beast is making way toward a small village called Urlom" she annouce causing Nawin and Hana eyes to widen.
"That's the village we left before coming here" Nawin mumbles and turn to Hana who nods at him "Is its destination to the village or it's just passing by" "From what I have seen it's passing by, you better hurry and catch up" the witch advises passing the fur back to Hana who place it back in the jar.
The witch turn to the two "Well be on your way, the beast is already at the village" Nawin motion Hana to grab his shoulder which she complies "Thanks for the help" he said glancing back at the witch seeing her smiling a bit underneath the hood "Hehehe, do be careful boy" with that said the two disappear in black flash leaving the chuckling witch.
Urlom Vllage
"Zid!" a black flash appears in front of the village where the two lands, Nawin quickly turns around "No, no, NO!" he shouts seeing what's in front of him, showing a destroyed village "Huh!" Hana holds her mouth seeing dozens of dead bodies lied on the ground, the corpses range from a man, woman, to even children's. All the houses are either destroyed or have bodies hanging out from the walls and windows showing the full display of the massacre.
"HOW CAN THIS BE!" Nawin shouts to the skies in anger, he looks back down seeing all the dead bodies making him turn to the side after seeing too many woman and children being slaughtered "Nightwalker!" he said those words through his gritting teeth before, slowly the dark aura inside of him start releasing out and swirl around him.
"M-master" Hana is send sliding back when the shadow aura explodes and speed around the Makasha in a violent speed causing the ground to rumble. "M-master?!" Hana shouts in shock seeing the black haired charging up the demonic shadow and slowly turn to her "Lighting… Dragon!" he thrust his right hands forward firing a lighting blast in a shape of a large dragon size.
Hana stood still in shock seeing the attack speeding toward her "Uarh!" her eyes widen even more when the attack pass her by the shoulders "RAAAAWRRR!" a loud roar boom from behind making her turn to see the nightwalker howling in pain.
"HANA DON'T JUST STAND THERE!" Nawin shouts snapping her out of the shock and shakily nod back "Hydra flame!" Hana takes a deep breath and blows out a wide range fire blast enveloping the large creature completely. "Move back" the Makasha orders making the hydra jump back landing on his right "Remember the combo?" he ask making Hana look at him surprise "What about getting its appearance or its head back" "I could care less about that, we are obliterating it this instance, now get ready" "R-right".
Nawin takes a deep breath and slowly lift both his hands forward connecting them to each other the glance at Hana "Go!" she nods and speed toward the flames and start circling around it "Hydra flame!" she starts blowing more fire into it causing the flames to grow bigger. "Red flame cannon!" Nawin announce causing a large red ball to form on his palms "Bigger" he starts adding more magic into it causing the size of the destructive magic ball to grow even larger then it's usual normal size.
"Now!" Nawin shouts firing the ball toward the flame "Do it Hana!" "Right!" the hydra stop and speed toward the ball "Poison Web!" she claps her hands together before expanding it creating a venomous poison net "Hyu!" she slid down dodging the ball, but lifts her hands up making the net envelope the ball causing the two attack to merge, changing the ball's appearance, now the outline is dark corrupt purple while the inside shine in deathly looking blood red.
The ball goes straight into the flames and a second later the whole thing explodes in a gigantic scale, sending the two flying back as well does the village with buildings start crumbling to the ground by the intense shockwave.
"Uh" Nawin slowly sits up to see a cloud of smoke surrounding the area, "Master" he turns to see Hana laying on the ground in an uncomfortable position "You added more power than I would have thought" she groans sitting back up "Didn't want to take any chances" he replies standing up.
"RAAAAAAWHH!" a loud roar explode causing the smoke to blow away showing a large, muscular creature standing tall on its two large legs, it has grey tough skin, large size hands and muscular arms, built monstrous body figure, it has glowing red eyes with no pupils, large wide mouth that have hundreds of razor sharp teeth's, it's nose resembles of a bat with a sharp bone peeling out from the tip, it's feet have sharp black nails, similar to its hands nails, there's also some long strand of grey hair falling down from the top of its head.
The creature has some grey furs covering parts of its body such on its chest, arms, legs, pelvis, though not at its face "Hana…" Nawin speaks making the hydra nod "Yes, it's the nightwalker". 'It took the attack without a flinch… what in the world is it' the Makasha thought staring at the creature.
The nightwalker glare at the black flash "RAAORR!" it screams, slamming both its hands down creating an earth current speeding toward him. Nawin summons a lance and throws it down right in front of the creature "Poush!" he disappears in black flash to appear right next to the lance and summons a great sword "Ha!" he swings it forward to only be block by the nightwalker hand which caught the large blade easily.
Nawin glares at the nightwalker as black aura explode around him "Grrr" the nightwalker growls feeling itself being pushback by the Makasha "Huh" Nawin smirk bringing its left hand up, aiming it right at the creature's face.
"Thunder Roar… Howl!" "BOOM!" a large explosion erupts and a glowing yellow light shine brightly in the night with electric current rippling through the ground from where the Makasha stood. "W-what!" Nawin mutter "It can't be" Hana mumbles in shock when the dust cleared showing the nightwalker standing there still with no wound to be shown.
Nawin eyes widen seeing it opening its mouth showing an electric yellow glowing inside it's throat 'Shit!' 'GET OUT OF THERE KID!' "MASTER!" Hana dash forward, but it was too late when the creature release the blast right back at the Makasha in point blank range. "No!" Hana sees the Makasha battered body flying out from the blast "I got you" she said jumping up and catches her master before landing back on the ground gently.
"Master" Hana mutter in worry seeing how wounded the black haired is 'I need to heal him immediately' she presses both her hands down on his chest and start adding her magic in it causing her hands to glow in green aura. The burn marks slowly start to heal "RAAWRR!" "No" Hana look up seeing the nightwalker is slowly stomping toward them.
Hana's face start twitching "I'll eat you alive!" she states darkly as her teeth and ears starts to sharpen. "You won't have to, I'll kill it" a voice state making Hana turn to see Akeno walking past her and stop in front of them, she stares darkly at the beast with her electric yellow eyes which glows in hidden anger. "A-akeno" Hana whisper in shock, the raven-haired glance back at her "I sense Nawin's magic signature and quickly hurried here, luckily I was close by" Akeno turn back to the beast "Stay here and focus on healing Nawin-kun" she orders.
The nightwalker let out a powerful roar causing a violent purple aura to explode around it making the earth creak "Killed innocents and now hurt my lover" Akeno glare darkly at the beast though her expression shows calm anger "I'll end you before you can even make the next move".
"RAAWWR-" the nightwalker pause in shock seeing Akeno zooming toward it without even moving her legs, "HAAARRR" the beast scream in pain when dozen of invisible lighting strike connect to its body when the Himejima move pass it, the beast staggers back as black smoke pour out from its chest showing the burnt wound.
"Dare hurt my lover" the beast turn seeing Akeno is right behind it "I will eradicate you" she lifts her right arm up aiming at the beast's back "Lighting bomb" she fires a small yellow orb "RAAAAHH!" the nightwalker is send forward by the orb and when it crashes the ground the orb erupt in an electric explosion.
"W-wow!" Hana stare at the fight in utter shock seeing the Himejima completely dominating the battle "H-how is she this strong?!". Akeno stare hard at the smoke knowing the creature is well alive though heavily wounded "This attack will finish you off" she lifts her right arm up causing the skies to darken "Clak!" yellow lighting creak around the sky before a strike is shot down at the Himejima palm forming a large lighting lance "Lance of Zeus".
"RAAWWRHHHH!" the smoke disperses showing an enrage nightwalker "Be gone by my lighting" Akeno fires the lance toward the beast and when it impact an destructive explosion erupt dwarfing the size of a village, it's size was big enough that even the people of Shigemi could see a large yellow light glowing in the far distance.
Hana stare at shock at the destruction that the lance displayed "Incredible" she mutters 'No way the nightwalker is alive after that'. When the smoke is cleared the only thing, they can see is an enormous crater "Tsk" Akeno click her teeth "It got away".
"Y-you did it" Hana smile seeing the Himejima making her way here "Sadly no, it got away" "What! How could that be?!" Akeno kneel down looking at the now sleeping Makasha "It disappear in the last second when my attack impact the around… I'm certain someone must have used a special teleportation to allow the beast to escape" she respond.
Akeno turns to Hana "I sense its magic signature just vanish when by attack was about to impact, clearly the person who teleported away intended to make us believe I killed the nightwalker, so they want to time it right but I guess they got nervous when they saw my attack" "So the nightwalker magic signature disappear before your attack could even hit it?" Hana said trying to get things right "Yes".
"Come on get up, I need to take Nawin-kun back to Lilios where he can rest" Akeno said picking the black haired up from the hydra hands "You can head back to the familiar forest now and rest up too" Hana finger twitches hearing the orders she was given by the Himejima, but decide not to say anything other than to nod "Yeah, I'm exhausted" she glance at her master one more time before disappear in a bright light.
Akeno look down at the Makasha peaceful face making her smile abit before she starts making way back to Lilios.
