Chapter 84: Gaspers Power

As the events at the ORC unfolded, Adrian and Vali were continuing to slay magician after magician, yet it seems that more and more keep coming.

"Hey, Kiba, Xenovia, Irina! If you three aren't busy, we can use an assist!" The three nodded, and drew out their swords, running at any and all magicians they come across, ready for the kill. Adrian refocused on his own fighting, using his whipfist and blade to slice apart any enemies that came his way. Damon, I hope you are taking care of Rias alright... he thought to himself.

Back at the ORC, Damon wiggled the fingers of his Devil Bringer arm, staring at the blood on his hand,

"You know, that felt way too good," he said, "finally getting my oppourtunity at taking down the Devil King and his little underlings."

"You wish to dethrone the Devil King?" Asked one of the magicians, "Why?"

"'Why?' Because back where I'm from, my uncle made a career out of killing devils and devil kings alike. I only became one so I could get closer to them, little did I know that the one I decided to get close to was, in fact, the Devils Kings little sister." Rias let out a tiny sob, getting up to her hands and knees, and giving Damon a look of stunned horror,

"You mean...after everything...you were using us?!"

"Pretty much," said Damon with a cocky grin, "but really, did you honestly think I would turn my back on everything my uncle taught me? About hunting devil scum like you? Hmm?" Katrina was seething as Damon continued his verbal assault,

"Damon you keep talking to her like that, I will kill you as soon as I'm free!" Damon tutted as he approached the gray skinned girl, kneeling next to her pinned down form,

"Katrina Lagos, the Goddess of War, the spiritual descendant of Kratos, the God of War...reduced to a mere pawn to a little redhead bitch," Damon mocked, causing the war goddess' blood to boil. Damon rose up, still bearing his cocky grin as he moved back to the downed Rias and Issei, but as he moved away, one of the magicians felt something off about the current scenario.

"Hold on, how do we know this isn't a trick?!" Damon turned to the magician, imitating a hurt look,

"Really? I just backhanded my 'master,' and sent her ass to the floor, I beat the holy shit out of the Red Dragon Emperor..." Damon then flicked the fingers on his Devil Bringer arm, flinging blood across the room, "...his blood, is on my hands, and you think I would go through that just to fuck with you?" The magicians were still uneasy, and Damons' ever growing smile didn't reassure them, "Well if you thought that...you'd be right. Gasper now!" The magicians whirled towards the strung up dhampir, seeing the blood Damon sprayed was right on the boys face, and within reach of his tongue, causing his eyes to flare up, and before anyone knew what had happened, Koneko and Katrina were free, standing next to the downed Rias and Issei, helping them up, while Gasper himself had dissappeared. The magicians began to panic as their magic squares dissappeared, more so when they were attacked by a swarm of bats.

"Huh, I didn't know you could transform Gasper," Damon said to the bats. He then saw several shadow arms sprout from the floor and restrain all the magicians, "I also didn't know you could control shadows," he added.

"Attack! Attack!" Shouted one of the magicians, trying to blast away the shadow arms, only for several more to take their place.

"He's drinking my blood!" Screamed another magician.

"Not only our blood, but he's draining all our power with it!" Screamed a third. As the fourth and final magician tried to flee, Koneko took action and forced her back with a kick.

"Well if those four bitches are occupied, I'm going to take care of my friends," said Damon, moving to Rias and Issei, the latter of which was still covered in blood and bruises. Damon proceeded to procure a green teardrop shaped orb the size of an apple from inside his coat, decorated with a twisted face of agony, and first gently applied it to Isseis' face, all the abraisions, bruises and even his jaw healing almost instantly as the orb shrank to the size of a marble. Issei stared at Damon, surprised to say the least.

"Um, thanks, I guess."

"It's just hardend green devil blood from my world...which I didn't realize I had until after that bullshit with Kokabiel," he then looked back up at the Gasper bat swarm above them, "but it's nothing compared to that."

"This is just a small dose of Gaspers' power," said Rias, still holding a hand to where Damon slapped her.

"You're shitting me," said Damon, applying what was left of the green devil blood to Rias' bloody lip and bruised cheek, healing the small wound and making what was left of the orb dissappear.

"No, I'm not shitting you," said Rias, now able to smile again, "his true power was released when he tasted Isseis' blood. Speaking of which, how did you come up with that?" An image of Azazel popped into Damons' mind, and he shook his head,

"You could say we had a little assistance." Damon whirled around, the Green Knight at the ready as a magician fired an orange blast towards Rias, ready to deflect it, only for it to be enshrouded in violet, and freeze in the air.

"It's no use," said the Gasper swarm to the magician who fired, "I can see your every move." One of the bats eyes began to glow, and all the magicians in the room were shrouded in purple, freezing them in time. "Now Issei! You're up!"

"You got it!" Said Issei, quickly slapping a red rune on each of the magicians, "Hell, fucking, yeah! Dress Break!" With the snap of his fingers, the magicians garments were all blown away, exposing their bodies to the present devils.

"Oh hot damn! It's like a festival of naked ladies!" Issei drooled, causing Koneko to glare at him, Rias to shake her head in dissapproval, Damon to bring a palm to his face, and finally Katrina, who had just returned with her stolen weapons, to roll her eyes,

"Gasper, why the hell did you tell Issei to get up there and do his thing?" Asked Katrina, seeing the biggest bat in the swarm dropping down next to herself,

"I wanted to see what he can do," Gasper said innocently.

"Look at them...naked!" Issei then lunged for the frozen magicians, "GROPING TIME!" He stopped dead in his tracks when Damon brought his Devil Bringer down on the perverts head,

"Down boy," said Rias.

"Right! I'm down!" Groaned Issei.

"You're the worst," Koneko said blankly.

"Diabolical," Katrina commented.

"Can we move this along?" Asked Damon, drawing out Black Dahlia and popping four perfect headshots into the frozen magicians.

Soon after, Gasper had reformed his normal body, allowing Issei to place the second silver band Azazel handed him onto the dhampirs arm,

"Here, this should keep you more in control," he said.

"Thanks Issei," Gasper said with a smile. As this transpired, Damon turned to Rias,

"Hey, prez...I'm sorry for the backhand earlier, and making my bullshit seem too real. I was just trying to sell the whole betrayal act to them, so they wouldn't notice the blood I was about to give to Gasper." Rias surprised him when she pulled him into a hug,

"I'm just thankful you're still on our side," she said with a small tear of joy, "I don't want to lose more members of my house, especially like that." Damon patted her on the back, allowing her to release him as she wiped the tear away with a miniscule sniff,

"Alright, let's get out of here!"

"Yes ma'am!" Shouted the ORC members, except for Damon, who let loose a song verse,

"How many people want to kick some ass?!!"
