Chapter 28. A Saint, a Mad Knight and a King.


He knew it will be too late to warn them

He didn't cast Structural Grasp to the building before because he too focused and quite nervous at the incoming meeting, he even sure the other Leaders also didn't expect that the material of the building despite very hard and strong but with right enchantment and combination of runes, it turned to ticking bomb

And that exactly what happen

He didn't have any time to think why the fucking Hell Sirzechs build the tower with this material since he instantly put all his brain, mind and power to reinforce the whole surface of the room hard enough to withstand the explosion

Not very wise action seeing it burn down his whole Magic Circuit without any warning

The whole room shook, quake, and shaking as every part of it explode. It not from one point, but from all directions. The floor where everyone stand, the top part, the walls, every part explode in torrent of flames

Fortunately, Issei Reinforcement worked. It wasn't skill that save him, but it was Luck. He Reinforce all the surface of the room, turning them into harder material than usual, the part that able to explode overwhelmed and did not able to react due to that thankfully

"What the-!?"

Azazel was all but calm as he shouted when the tremor hit them. All the Leaders also show surprise and shock face as they now all stand, even if the place they held now shake very strong but they still able to balance themselves to not fall

"The Hell is happen?! Sirzechs! What the meaning of this?!" Azazel yelled as he glaring at the Crimson Satan who also apparently look shocked. He not the only one who did this, all of them briefly sense explode of Mana from all directions before the whole building rocked, which mean it come from the building itself and the one that build this is Devil

Sirzechs seeing the situation instantly put his calm face as best as he could, he can't have they all angry at him now and lost people trust, not just when Peace is near "I swear in name of Grimory and my title as Lucifer I do not know about this!" He swear instantly "Look! We discuss it later! For now the building is-"

BOOOOM!

One by one the part of the room destroyed, crushed by the weight of the part of that above them. Issei Reinforcement while strong enough to handle the explosion but it clearly can't stand against the falling tower

"Issei-san! Issei-san!" Asia was all but screaming as she see. Issei body fell down. When everyone stand due to the tremor, the boy body twitching and shaking as if he just get possessed and fell down from his seat

"My Lord!" Xenovia gasped as she grasp Issei body who shaking wildly, panic was clear in her eyes "Asia!" She barked instantly, her eyes went to the blond girl who held glowing arms to Issei body to check what wrong with him

"A-Asia! C-Circuit! W-Wild! C-Can't! Gagh!" Blood spew out from his mouth as his hands crawled to his body, as if trying to gouge out something inside his body

"What happen to him?!" Michael asked in worry as well

Blood immediately explodes as swords come out from Issei body, they all sprout out like plant come out from the ground, piercing his shoulders and arms, making all the Leaders shocked, that was sight no one expect to see, not at all

"Issei-san! Calm down! Your Prana, stabilize it! Ddraig-san could you-" Asia paused when she recall what Issei said about Ddraig. Usually Ddraig would try to help Issei, as a being who connected to him, he could help Issei body. Even only small portion, the last time he help was when Issei use Body of Swords, the Dragon able to calm the Prana inside the boy a little and prevent the swords from piercing Issei vital organ

However after small confrontation with Vali, the brown-white haired boy had yelled to the Dragon and ask what happen in meeting

When asked, the Dragon can't explain. His mind was hazy and he somehow couldn't speak it aloud. But whenever Albion name mentioned it seems become trigger that make Ddraig become so mad, especially when Albion near, it almost like Mad Enhancement that activated

The only reason why Issei now could think clearly and not have anger in his mind is because he shut off Ddraig completely, he has cut the connection and by doing this the anger couldn't flow to him. Of course by doing that he also cut Ddraig power, he can't use Boosted Gear in this state but it was necessary step seeing it won't be good if he attacked Vali in middle of meeting and risking to cause another Great War after all

"Balance Breaker." Asia muttered under his breath

"Heal him somewhere else! We have to get out from here!"

Sirzechs quickly cocked his hand to window and red magic circle formed from his palm, then crimson mixed with dark night colored flames burst from his palm and launched to the window, destroying it in instant like it made of paper, even it had been Reinforced by Issei power

"We can't fly!" Xenovia said as she now carry Issei on her shoulder, not it going to kill her if she fall from this height but right now her Lord is in pain! That was risky and could worsening his state

In response, she sense unfamiliar energy through her body, she about to broke it but notice it make her body feel light. Instanly know what this Magic intent to, she let it did it. Job and soon she found Asia who floating and focused to heal Issei

Asia meanwhile so panicking, she already use Balance Breaker to heal him. Touch of Gaia is sub-species Balance Breaker that she got, it allow her healing ability increased to the point even able to reconnect separated limbs or organ, and possibly regrowth missing organ if she train at it further, it also allow Asia to take a peek to her victim soul, to understand their pain, understand what is wrong with them so she could heal them further

This ability is the one that save Issei during his match against Hyoudou. Knowing something wrong with Issei soul rather than body, she instantly use Balance Breaker and contacted Issei, it was also her who active Ascalon Impenetrable Shield ability and also heal all the damage to Issei during the fight

Naturally, Asia should be able to heal this one, it may take time to calm Issei but it still going to heal. However there problem now, and it is the environment. Due to moved in hurry, she couldn't heal Issei properly, and what Issei did was very reckless and dangerous, he just active all his Magic Circuit without warning and forcing them to work as hard as possible

It like tossing very cold ice cube to molten of lava, causing very strong reaction

'This is bad! I can't control it! The circuit is...'

Issei meanwhile feel his whole body in pain, it almost similar like when he blacked out before facing Hyoudou. As if hot steel just thrusted to his spine. He bit his own lip to not scream, he couldn't heard anything or feel anything either

However, judging by the sharp pain on his fingers he knew some swords just pierce through his body and he knew it would be resulted veeery bad. He could feel Asia power try to heal him, a warming sensation but the pain was too much

'At... At... This rate... I...'

There only one way to ensure he survive. He never thought he will unleash it this soon, Zelretch had stated that he already placed special seal and timer when he going to unleash it in first time

Class-card, is something that connected to someone soul, they mixed with it like Sacred Gear to their Host. It giving power to them while at same time latched to their soul, you could say it actually worked just like Sacred Gear. However, unlike all other card, Blank-class card is special, it contain two fragments of souls, the fragments also separated from each other with one of them used as focus soul that going to build the foundation that tied to soul while the other locked

And that, actually have consequence

But that story for another time, right now Issei knew he couldn't do anything but to release the power that locked in order to survive since he cut the connection with Ddraig due to Albion presence

"The hell is that Sirzechs!" Azazel demanded as he landed along with Vali, glaring at Sirzechs who also just landed, followed by Michael and Raphael

"Like I said Azazel, I don't know anything about that." Sirzechs gestured to the falling tower with one hand, his face is solemn "The building material that build is strong Azazel, I doubt even if Dragon crashing to it would make it bent or fall. Unless..."

"Traitor huh?" Raphael snorted as he knew what happen already, it wasn't hard to "And here I think idea of peace could happen. If your own people already try to kill you just before we could make alliance, imagine what would happen if we joined." He sneered slightly under his mask as his eyes bore to Sirzechs

Sirzechs about to reply, but suddenly burst of power alert them. All of the Leaders instantly aware that there ambush, they after all the one who made this Boundary Field and it connected to them, they sense the field tore apart, something that shocking seeing they made it together and knew how capable it is, and they also sense hundreds and probably thousands of people infiltrating them

"Attempt assassination?" Azazel muttered "Why I'm not surprise..." He knew things like this would come. This meeting though, also could be used to plan to pull out traitor, when again you going to have Three Leader of faction gather in one place? A very strong bait "See? This is why I propose alliance." He stated as he gestured to the attacks, he even could sense Fallen Angel presence and so many of them, followed by Devils and Man 'This organization really fuck us huh? They rooted themselves to our core this deep!'

"I don't know what you all would do, but I'm going there." Raphael stated as he gestured toward the sounds where the battle going on. Six pairs of pure white majestic wings sprout out from his back, spewing out white feathers to around him beautifully "I have some Devils and Fallen Angel to brought to Justice after all."

However no one respond to him nor Raphael continued to talk. It not because he already fly or don't wish to talk further, it because just when the Archangel of Justice about to fly, they feel it

Power, unadulterated power came pouring out to them in a level that incomparable. They all freeze, like a stone when the sensation hit them fully. It was something that they had no felt for so long, the essence of the power that crawling to their skins rivaling or surpassing them in fact

They all turned to the source, to the boy who writhing in agony few seconds ago. The boy twitching and trembling body gone now, replaced by normal one. However the power he excluded from his body, meanwhile is not normal

"Issei...san?" Asia muttered in surprise as she see Issei twitching gone, his body slowly rose as if he just awaken from deep slumber, standing firm like statue

And then his eyes open

And the World tremble

No one know is it come from him or the battle far from their place. But the earth shake for moment, ground beneath him cracked before it shatter like a shard of ice that crushed by hammer, the air itself screeching under the power he radiate, the space around him vibrated, twitching, as if they were sentient being. His white hairs glowing, a color of gold crawled and slithering from his head and turned the white hairs part into gold much like the Archangels that present

The pure and strong aura that everyone felt make the back of their mind yell at them, screaming and demanding them to Kneel before the being that stand in front of them now, it was aura that labeled as one of primal

Divine power

A power that only possessed by Gods, a creature that trusted to be most superior being in the World and Universe. Even the one that just born possessing power to destroy city like a toy, a creature that all Mankind hail and kneel to

The orbs that looks like steel gray sword that cut everything gone. Replaced by crimson colored eyes with slit, an eyes that represent power instead sword, an eyes that superior and show the World the owner of such eyes is predator

"My Lord..." Xenovia voice filled with awe at the power she just felt, however there still concern in there as she stare at the man she swear allegiance to "Are you okay?" She asked

Issei turn his gaze to her and Xenovia held her breath for second when meet his slitted eyes meet hers, the eyes not like his steel gray one she usually see, this eyes different. There no warmth in this eyes, there no familiarity, it was the same one she saw when they just meet for the first time

Issei tore his eyes from the blue haired girl, he rise one hand, then staring at it as if there something in there, something beneath that empty hand. Then he clenched it, so tight that sounds of his joint twitching echoed before he unclench it

And he smirked.

It was only simple smirk, however for Asia and Xenovia who has live with him, the smirk he hold is different. Rather than annoying and cocky one, this smirk contain nothing but sneer and arrogance with it, it was smirk that filled with cruelty

"I'm fine..." His voice while same but there silk in there, there smooth trail like a snake, it also almost like a purr "Never better in fact..."

Relief was plastered on Asia and Xenovia face. While they surprised but they actually knew what happen. They already had been explained by Zelretch and Issei in past about the other soul in their Class-card and how it work inside him

"The hell just happen?"

As usual, it was Azazel who summed what everyone think and blurt it out. The Governor of Fallen Angel practically gawking at Issei form who turned to him

"Did you just go Super Saiyan Mode?" He asked incredulously, earning look that like his tone from everyone

Issei only stare at Azazel, his face filled with boredom as his crimson eyes meet Azazel's violet orbs. Then he scoffed, turned his head away as if he just dismiss the man "Nothing you should know Scapegoat." He said in dismissal tone

"Issei-kun..." Sirzechs called, gaining the teen attention. His face filled with curiosity but at same time also solemn, he lick his lips that seems dry before asked "Are you... Are you Demigod?"

All the Leaders and old veteran warrior without doubt recognize just what kind of power that they felt before, even now the aura still lingering in air and still radiated from the boy as well. A Divine power is not something you could gain so easy, few only capable to reach it and the price they give to receive such blessing is filled with hard

Especially God is dead now and the System also show sign of change recently

And the amount of Divinity Issei radiate is not small, it was on par with the two Seraph members that currently present, and they are creature that made by God directly. The only things possible for that is he must be Demigod. And if that true then it make sense for him able to defeat Kokabiel and he able to produce such powerful Magic and able to create something Divine, because he, himself is Divine being

"And what of it? Crimson Satan?" Issei sneered. He practically sneered, this is the first time Sirzechs see the boy show blatant rude behavior "If I'm indeed Demigod, then what of it? What would you do? As matter of fact." Issei turned, his eyes roamed to everyone present save for Xenovia and Asia "What would you all do?"

It wasn't a question, it was a challenge, a statement that daring them to oppose him or try to put him down. The boy attitude change, where he was kind and stern, now he arrogance and very prideful

Before anyone could respond, the boy-no. The man chuckled, his voice filled with mirth while doing it

"Hmph. You could wipe out your all fear. Technically, I'm not Demigod so there won't be any Gods come and wreaking havoc just to meet me." Issei said, waving his hand as he start to walking through them, not even bother to spare glance to them as his eyes focused to the building that crumbling down in blaze of flame "Ah... So this Khaos Brigade organization who dare to try assassinate me eh?" He asked rhetorically, his eyebrow quirked and his lips set to thin line while saying this, a sign that he displeased

That make everyone snapped from their shock and confusion. Question about what happen to Issei could be talked later, right now they have enemies invading them and just attempt to kill them

"Right." Sirzechs nodded grimly "We could talk about this further later, right now it better if we-"

"Do nothing." Issei cut the man, prompting everyone turn to him again and he only had his hand on his pocket while his face resemble boredom "They dare to attack me, and try to kill me. Not just that but they dare to cause chaos in this city, the city where I live and under my watch." His voice filled with venom and anger, something that they never heard ever since meeting him

Sirzechs tempted to say it was city of Devils, but for some reason there something that held him back. Something that make his tongue tied and his lips sealed. It was thing that make him survive through Civil War, it was his Instinct

"I will take care of them. You all just watch, and be grateful I allow you to see my performance." Issei continued as he not let. Any of them speak "Asia, go to Angels, Xenovia, you go to Fallen Angel. You have ten minutes to play and show your growth before I finish them all."

"Yes, My Lord." Xenovia answered instantly without any question, Asia meanwhile seems bothered for moment but it crushed under her determining face

"Hai, Issei-san."

Both womens instantly went away, leaving without saying anything. They all have questions in their mind, but right now the situation more demanding, and Zelretch already warn them if things like this happen it better to follow Issei order and ask explanation later.

Issei then tilted his head to certain direction, it was where the Devils army fighting. And he smirked when he sense some burst of energy tickling the back of his mind, as Host of Heavenly Dragon, he knew some Dragon just came, especially it also Dragon that come from same continent like Ddraig

"I going to take a look about that." Issei stated, everyone not need to be explained just what is that. They all knew that sudden burst of Magic and it sensation "You will stay here, Half Breed, lest I kill you where you stand now." He said nonchalantly as his eyes bore to Vali who seems wish to go as he also sense the same sensation

"What?" Vali asked, there anger, surprise and shock in his tone as he glaring at Issei

"You think I did not notice what kind of creature are you?" Issei sneered at him haughtily "You delude yourself to be my Rival, my Equal? On base of what? Watch what I going to do and see are you still going to delude yourself Half Breed."

Without so much words, Issei turned away, he taking one step forward before his whole body glowing, then dissolving into mote of golden lights

There silence as groups from each faction stare at where Issei leave. Their minds simply can't understand just what happen because how things come out too fast and too many

"I going to join battlefield." Raphael stated, he don't know what happen but he won't stand on the side while his brothers and sisters fighting. Michael also nodded in agreement with his brother

"I won't do that if I were you." Vali stated, gaining everyone attention. They all could see anger still burning in his eyes but above all that, there deep eagerness strangely "When he told us to do nothing he really mean it, it wasn't request but it order and if we cross him, he will attack us." He said with chuckle

"And how you know that?" Michael questioned as his eyebrow furrowed

"Because there Pride in his voice." Vali answered "You all surely know that until now Hyoudou Issei look quite humble and kind, for some Host of Heavenly Dragon that was strange. He not show any sign of he being proud or things like that

"Oh don't get me wrong. He have pride and also could be smug sometime but he's too normal, he behave as if his status as Sekiryūtei is simply status, something that doesn't matter. Not mean anything and that was the problem, we all knew there is no Hell way Host of Heavenly Dragon could be normal or act like that, it was impossible with such power on his call

"It was Human nature to praise power, to seeking them and craving for them. And when they have it, they will show it, no matter how modest and kind, but Human will always proud with that status. But Hyoudou did not, and that, what make all data about previous Sekiryūtei useless when you meet him

"However the way he act before, you could say it was the usual how Host of Heavenly Dragon act, they prideful being, whatever they are, be they woman or man, Pride will be the first thing in their heart. And if you didn't listen to his warning, he will attack you. I recongize that behavior because I was like that once, before I could control my power."

There another silence echoed in field as everyone look to Vali who stare at where Issei gone. Anger and hatred was visible in his eyes, even his fist clenched and trembled but the dark silver haired man able to hold his anger, suppressing it. This was sign that the man is someone that strong enough to hold even anger and madness of Heavenly Dragon that flowing inside him

'Azazel certainly train him well...' Sirzechs thought with small smile

"So we just stand aside and let him have his way?" Raphael growled angrily, his voice also sounds menacing as his green eyes gleaming under his helmet

"No... If things out of control, we enter the battle." Sirzechs answered "For now, we only going to evacuate people as many as possible, tell them to retreat and watch what Issei-kun would do..." He tilted his gaze to where Issei leaving "Somehow... I doubt he lying."

Oh, he was being honest. That words spoken with very sincere tone. He knew well what the boy would do, it will be massacre. He had seen the boy look and knew what kind of look is that

Because, he, once also have same look when he found out Satan Faction murder one of his cousin


He originally only middle-tier Ultimate-class Devil

He can't even transform to Dragon form in first place. And while true Buné clan famous for their strong endurance that surpassing Rook Trait of Devils but he's not the strongest among his clan

And while true he strong but with such level of power, it was impossible for him to challenge Apollo, lest stand as equal, it would be short battle if they fight

But when he eat the snake Ophis give to him, everything change

For once, Severus feel power, so tremendous and strong it is that it even make him unlock the ability to transform into his clan superior form

A Dragon

But it not just end in there... The snake that Ophis give not just stop there, it effect him to his core, to his body, turning him into Dragon. Gone his Light weakness, he no longer feel pain from them or desire to run when see them! He had fully turned to Dragon! To superior creature!

And after that, defeating Apollo not hard. Sure he fast and strong, but his strength couldn't compared to thickness of his scale and body!

Like Dragon, he had no problem facing Apollo the moment he transform. He shrug off all the attack while launching his own, it as if Apollo attack all were only insect that fly around and try to sting him

But it change now

Severus undoubtedly strong, it won't be exaggeration to said he borderline to Maou level in term of strength level and endurance, add the fact the scale he possess is strong enough to shrug off even high level magic attack due to it draconic nature

A single punch from him can turn one of great wonders that build by modern man turn to dirt, into a rubble. With just graze, it even going to liquefy man like he made of water instead bones and muscles. Even Apollo, one of Elite Guard of Heaven and Eight winged Angels, wounded quite heavy as his armors dented, his ribs break and one of his lung ruptured just by single hit from him

So imagine his shock, when this girl, a girl who only half of his size and only a Human, still able to stand when she just got punched to her chest

Her armor maybe bend and dent, but it not crushed, it still look good and even usable as she stand and coughed blood while holding her glowing green hand to her chest

And her eyes...

That blasted green emerald eyes...

Unlike all enemies he fought, all of them show anger and hatred but this girl not. It show no fear, it show no hatred nor it show anger. It only show pity

He hate that look

"I'm going to kill you! Little GIRL!"

Air violently tore apart as his black giant scaled two meters wings extended with flap, ground turned to glass and shatter as his feet kick them off. The beast launch himself fully to the girl with speed that not match his size, his maw wide open like a snake that reveal it fangs to it prey that soon would be devoured

He going to kill her. He had hit her once, quite easy in fact. Despite holding that Dragon Slayer sword but this girl is weakling. She can't wield it properly!

Despite his size it can't be denied that Severus still fast, very fast in fact. Even bullets is pale compared to his speed. He was there before anyone could blink and clamp down his jaw to rip apart the girl

But his maw hit nothing but air and empty space

'What?! How did-'

PAIN!

Scream and roar emitted from his mouth as he feel pain on his body. It was the same pain he felt during fight against Angel long time ago just after Civil War. It been so long he feel pain like this but not just that, this pain is worse, multipled the pain from Holy and Light

He let out shriek rather than roar and his body moving madly as if some creature latched to it. His limbs trashing to all direction while flame burst out from his mouth to area surround him in glory in order to burn away whatever caused this pain

Asia just in time to pull Ascalon from his stomach again and jumped back, avoid getting herself burned to crisp by the flame. She must admit she expect it would be instant death, but it not. Rather than piercing through all his scale it only buried few inches deep, not enough to touch the organ of this beast

And she use all her strength to jam it to him

It was obvious that this beast is too arrogance and she knew it was foolish to let herself to get caught even just once. There chance the beast strength was too immense to the point it could kill her, but she need to know just how capable her defense is. Add the fact it would allow her to give surprise strike like before

'It seems... His body is thicker than I thought... This won't be easy, even with Ascalon.' Asia thought grimly as she observing the red, orange liquid that dripped from Severus stomach

"YOU!" Severus was roaring in anger, his orange eyes glowing as if it was on fire and hot smoke puff out from his nostril as he glaring at Asia "How dare you! You lowly Human! How dare you make me hurt like THIS! DIE MONGREL!"

Power emerged from tips of his limbs, they glowing and screeching as the air around them twisted and vibrating to each other. The black Dragon roared before cocking his body to one side, then he swing one of his claw

And the air ripped

The power of his claw turn the harmless air into very sharp barrage of razor wind. They tearing apart everything on their path, the ground sliced as if they made from paper rather than part of earth, turned to nothing but rubble as they tore apart by forces of the razor wind

Asia throw herself in instant, she kick the ground as strong as she could to avoid getting shredded by torrent of sharp winds that aimed to kill her. Rolling down the ground, she instantly see another barrages of sharps winds launched to her

The blond haired swordwoman pivoting her leg in instant, taking one step aside, she dodge the razor winds that slice the ground and everything behind her like paper. However just when she dodge it, another barrages of deadly winds already there and she just in time to kick the ground and jump away to avoid it

Clicking her tongue, Asia grip Ascalon with both hands, the sword gleaming with power and she give it swing. The Dragon Slayer sword meet with the razor wind, it wasn't competition as the wind instantly vaporized. Seeing this, the girl make quick move and dashed to the Dragon

Wave after wave of deadly sharp winds launched to her. But Asia never stop, she keep launching herself, dodging to the left, pivoting to the right, and jump to avoid the lower one. Few manage to scratch her face, but it did not deter her as she keep going forward

With her speed, it wasn't long before she arrive near the Dragon and she not wasting anymore time. Before the Dragon move his limb once again she kick the ground as strong as she could, jumping to the beast, Ascalon in her hands and she brace herself to strike her enemy

However, when she near, Severus also ready. Just when Asia jumped, her other claw was there, it aimed toward her face with intent to crush the girl. But Asia see this, she ducked, bending down her body just in time to dodge the attack

But another one come

Severus black scaled tail launched toward Asia that ducking, it was already few centimeters away from her face. The black Dragon eyes filled with glee while Asia eyes widen in small margin

Blood splattered to the ground as the tail struck her

But that not stop her. It was close. Very close one in fact. But Asia knew closing to the beast won't be easy. The moment she ducked, one of her legs already planted to the ground, it twisted, spinning her whole body just in time to avoid to have her face pierced by the sharp tail. She not dodge it completely, the tail graze large part of her cheekbone, carving flesh and blood out from it

The girl held the scream of pain that threatened to out from her mouth. She can't afford to loss focus, not in middle of battle. She continue to launching herself, Ascalon raised and she swung it

A beastly shriek of pain out from Severus maw once again as his other side of stomach carved by Ascalon, orange liquid spurt out and splattering to the ground like water that released from bucket. The beast swing his other arm wildly, intent to crush the girl but Asia already gone, she already make distance with him once again

The blond haired girl held her bleeding cheekbone with glowing green arm, and when she release it, a pink, new skin and flesh already there, indicating her wound just healed. Her emerald green eyes piercing his giant form as she take stance once again

Severus can't believe it. This girl! This girl! He let out another roar before he swung down his claw, sending more strong, and more violent burst of razor winds to the girl like a mad beast that struggling on it leash

It continue like that for moment. Despite usually fight in melee range, Severus apparently has no problem to fight from long one as he throw all his limbs and launching sharp projectiles

And when Asia manage to get close, his tail or wings is there, waiting as they swinging wildly or flapping strong to send burst of wind that enough to brought down even entire forest

Asia not give up, despite how hard to getting close as she fight with clean and sharp mind. After giving her Class-card there no single day she spent to rest, she training herself as much as she can do, breaking her bones in process, fell to unconsciousness, having her muscles torn apart, and she also has cut herself many times when wielding sword

Zelretch had done very serious training to her and when he really mean it, it was living Hell for her. You could say she almost had no sleep every day she train, every time she faint she would be jolted up by him and her wound healed by her own ability or by the old Vampire spell

She manage to deliver strike after strikes. The number smalls, only scratch or small stab, but it enough to make the black Dragon hissed in pain and it also done with very careful and well planned

But the wielder of Dragon Slayer sword not leave unharmed. The razor winds maybe not hit her directly but the impact of it does. Scars, so many of them was on her armor, the part that not get protected by her armor also there, bloods drooled out from her wounds. The only reason Asia not drop to the ground due to blood loss is because she healing them, unfortunately she couldn't keep healing her wounds fully since it cost too many energy so she heal them to the point it won't be fatal

And yet, despite all wounds, despite the pain she felt. Everyone who watching the battle could see she actually on par with the beast. A girl, Human no less, not even reach half of the Dragon size, fighting said the giant beast toe on toe!

'How could this be?!' Severus snarled in his mind as he receive another slash and let out shriek of agony

It was impossible! It was impossible! How?! How could this happen?! How could this! This pathetic being went toe on toe with HIM! Wounded HIM this far?! HIM! Who had beaten Apollo!

In any normal condition, it should be noted that Asia actually can't win against him. Despite Asia just release her Class-card and gain full power of Heroic Spirit, it not secret that she still shouldn't be able to stand against someone who possess level of strength like Severus

However, it wasn't normal

Ascalon, mostly is the one that made it difference. The Dragon Slayer Holy Sword wielded like professional, it wasn't surprise seeing Asia just release her power, it make her have all the ability and skills of it original wielder. And her opponent is a Dragon, not just ordinary Dragon but a Devil one

No matter what he looks like, Severus still Devil beneath his thick and strong scale. And when Ascalon slice that thick defense open and cut it with Holy and Light element, it turn out to be very hurt. Not just it hurt him because he Devil, but it also because he's Dragon as well. The Dragon Slayer effect make the pain and it effectiveness multipled

The pain, and Severus ego and pride make it possible to happen. Turning him into more savage and brutal beast, right now it was safe to say he almost can't think clearly anymore due to the pain that clouded his mind

'This! This! This!' Severus snarled, flames blazing from his mouth and nostril as he let out terrifying and deep roar that echoed to the whole field, it was a roar that show one already reach limit of their temper "I HAD ENOUGH WITH YOU LITTLE GIRL! YOU GOING TO DIE NOW!"

The beast crouched down on his four limbs, his maw wide open widely that enough to swallow whole cow in one chomp. A burst of power gathered inside his throat, swirling inside him and explode out from his maw

Asia see flames

No matter how far she see, flame is everything she can see. So wide they are, licking the air and devouring them to the point it surpassing the tower of meeting width. So hot they are that the ground turned to molten of magma in instant. So powerful they are as the ground of magma on their path soar to him like wave of tsunami

Certainly Severus not holding back, not at all

Asia gritted her teeth seeing the incoming flames. This is clearly not good, it was too big to be dodge and she couldn't jump high enough to avoid it. This flame is all-out attack, the beast had no longer care, even right now there many of his allies that fighting behind her, he still intent to burn her down

'If I dodge it... The one behind me would be...' She knew there army fighting each other, all of them now seems aware to the incoming flames and there panic scream reach her ears from people behind her

It come from above. So fast it is, that no one could see it, even Asia who observing Severus didn't see it. It slammed down to the beast back who crouched on his four limbs, a sounds of something snapped could be heard when it hit Severus back

"Lady Argento is not the Only One You Fight! Beast!"

It was Apollo. The Elite Guard dive down from sky like vengeful spirit. Slammed the beast back with his knee while his Patronus echoed to the whole battlefield. The Dragon who not expected the attack gagged, his neck cocked upward and make the flame raise above instead forward to Asia

'This is it!' Asia thought as she clench Ascalon. This is the chance! She only have one shot! This would act as surprise attack! Hopefully it will work, it have to!

Asia legs kick the ground, she put as much as strength she have and she dashed to the Dragon as the flames now died down due to Apollo interference. The distance of her to Severus is far, very far in fact, even if she throw Ascalon, it won't be strong enough to pierce through Severus thick body.

But she have one thing that could help her, one thing that with her, one thing that make her called to be a Rider

Come forth, my friend

"You! Just die already!" Severus roared, grabbing the Elite Guard with one, large claw. It clamped to his body like a maw, crushing the metal he wore and the bone inside it as Apollo let out grunt of pain. The Dragon slam the Angel to the ground in very rough manner, making the earth shatter before he rise his feet and stomp the Angel chest

Blood spurt out from Apollo mouth as he feel his ribs crushed under Severus large feet, the ground beneath him give up and turned to web-like crater under the Dragon strength. The Devil-Dragon let out sneer before turned to the blonde girl that rushing

It was still far, however Severus knew he don't have time to create large attack like last one since the girl would reach him. But doesn't mean he couldn't put same deadly attack

His throat glowing with power, once again a demonic energy gather in there, swirling inside it and Severus let it out. He roared and spew out a large wave of orange deadly flame to her, it weaker than his full flame, but it enough to kill this little girl

Asia did not deter, nor she try to dodge the incoming flame. Her face still set to pure determining, she keep rushing to it as if the flame isn't there, as if it only a mere wind that going to breeze her

And the flame engulf her

Severus glee was visible, his eyes curled slightly and he keep spewing out the flame, it blazing further as it master empowering it with energy, burning everything on it path

Come forth, my steed!

"Come Phantom War Horse, Bayard!"

And the flame split


"Oh God..." Michael muttered, his eyes wide as he stare down at the battle he witnessed. He can't believe what his eyes see now

"That Argento girl..." Raphael voice for once contain surprise as well as he look to Asia "She was Holy Maiden who specialize in healing right?" He asked to his brother

"Yes..." Michael answered, his eyes still locked to the girl who fighting

Both Archangels right now in middle of channeling spell. All the armies that in field, could pulled back to Heaven using the spell that their Lord teach them. It was emergency spell to pull all Angels that fighting back to the base in case something went wrong

"Then how in name of Heaven, she could fight like that!" Raphael replied in exasperated voice as he gestured to the battle with one hand "With such speed and power, she should be one of top ten best female Exorcist! She even better than the one who inherit spirit of Jeanne d'art in current generation! Moreover, how did she able to wield that sword! Despite it different but there no doubt it is Ascalon! And Ascalon still reside in Heaven! It didn't pick anyone ever since Saint George dead!" He demanded to his brother but his eyes still never leave Asia form who fighting

"I... I don't know... I honestly don't know." Michael sounded confused as well, shock also still plastered his face as he answered his brother "According to the data, Asia Argento is only a nun who possess Twilight Healing, true her ability in healing surpassing normal Sacred Gear user who have Twilight Healing but that's it. There no sign she could wield Holy Sword! Some of people who close to her even claim that she can't even bring herself to harm flies!"

"Well clearly those data is out of date already." Raphael grumbling in displeased manner "I could understand the Ascalon part, that Hyoudou boy maybe create it and lent it to her somehow. But how she able to use it?! Ability to wield Holy Sword is not just come out of nowhere! The Holy Sword Project also already closed for years! There no way she could achieve Light element! All of the gems we get from Balba project locked in Heaven!"

"I... I don't know... Brother I truly don't know..." Michael voice start to become loud as well, indicating he start getting irritated at his brother exasperated reaction "Even if she start to train her body fully there no way she could reach this level only in two months! Perhaps what happen to her is miracle..."

"Or its that Hyoudou boy doing again." Raphael grunted, to be honest the boy until now confuse him. How did he able to create Durandal or Holy Swords is mystery. There so many things he wish to ask, but he choose to ask later since they in middle of meetings.

But after witnessing this? Oh, he really going to have talk with him soon.

It was then when the flame split, Raphael whole body stiffened, his emerald green eyes widened under his helmet when see what come out from it

"Brother?" Michael asked, noticing his brother reaction

"I knew that Horse..." Raphael muttered, his voice filled with nostalgia "I had seen it before when I watch George from Heaven..." He whispered "How in name of Father, it is here?!"


Everyone who paused in their fight to see the result of the battle would never forget what they see in their life. The hot blazing white flames that reduced the ground into magma and even capable to dry the water in instant split. It like watching Prophet Moses hand down his snake staff to the Red Sea, the flame that coming to burn them down split open into two, as if something just cut the flame open cleanly

A shrill... Very strong shrill echoed, so powerful it is that it seems vibrating in the whole battlefield. It like a primal voice that bouncing in single building. A voice that shown a savior has come, a voice that declare the Guardian rose from it slumber to guard it precious thing

Beautiful was what crossed in their minds when their eyes saw it. It not big, and yet it also not small, it was proper, so balanced. Slim, yet not weak, thick, yet not buff. With skin that so white like a pure snow, and bronze armor that covered it vital areas, forming shin guards around it hooves. It face was so beauty that even Gods would prove it worthy to become their elite warrior steeds

Sitting top on it back, is an Angel

No one could deny it. Her beautiful face that set into determining expression, her milky pale smooth skin that seems gleaming despite her wounds, and her long, silky golden hair that waving in air by gentle touch of winds. To call her Angel wouldn't be exaggeration

Light is what she hold in her right hand, so bright it is that it turn the night into day for moment, so powerful it is that it send chill to people who dare face it, so warmth and comforting it is to the people she protect

"Its end now!"

Her voice reverberated in the field as she brought up the light she hold. She grip it as if it was solid object, maneuvering it like it was spear that ready to pierce it target. The flame that supposed to burn he to crisp can't do anything. They split under the power of the stallion she ride, like a waterfall that meet immovable and firm cliff. The magical horse let out shrill from her mouth, accompanying her Master declaration to end the battle

Severus who watch the horse coming snapped out from his awe and astonishment. Flame burst out from his nostril once again, his eyes glowing with power and he snarled. Power once again gathering on his throat and he open his maw widely

"JUST DI-"

A Light that Pierce Dragon!

"Interfectum Dracones: Dragon Slayer!"

It was so fast. Faster than Apollo that diving down from the sky before yet, no one miss it, no one not see the light that soar from her hand. It flung forward it target like a light that illuminating the dark path and turn the path into day due to it bright

It pierce through Severus chest before the beast could spew out his breath like a drill that piercing wall. The Light skewering the thick, and strong scale that even not harmed by Apollo powerful Spear of Light like a paper meet with hot knife, there no resistance, struggle or such things, it just went through his chest plainly

Severus choked on his breath in instant. The glow in his eyes gone and it widened. The beast tilt his head down and stare at the twenty centimeters hole on middle of his chest, there no expression could be deciphered due to his beastly face. Then he start to let out gurgle, orange liquids dripped from his mouth as he attempt to speak

"How... I am... Severus... Of the Buné..." He rasped out, anger and disbelief filled his voice that seems return to it original, his knee buckled down and touch the surface of the earth "How... I... To... Little..."

He can't finish his words as his body turned to dark smokes, the only thing he could spew is a shriek and scream filled with agony as the black mist blown away by wind around it and turned to nothing in less than second

The dubbed Angel that thrown the light plodding her steed forward. Her face still show calm, and neutral look that she wore when fighting, her horse let out sounds from her nostril as she approach the Angel that down in ground

Then, the Angel in horse smiled beautifully

"Are you okay Apollo-san?" She asked softly

Apollo who still in ground, only able to crack small smile through part of his helmet that destroyed, his blue-green eyes shone with relief "I'm fine Lady Argento... Though I may could use some help in here."

In response of that, Asia lower her steed slightly, she bended her body down and extend one arm. Apollo seeing the hand, rise his and grasp it, the Rider let out small grunt and pull him up without so much problem despite the armor Apollo wear or his height that bigger than her, allowing the Elite Guard to stand on his own foot

Apollo let out hiss at the pain he felt when he stand, but it only for moment before he feel familiar warmth sensation engulf him. He notice Asia healing him once again, gentle and beautiful smile still in her face

"You have to be careful Apollo-san, I won't be always there to heal you." She chided lightly

The Angel blinked his eyes once when hear the words, before he let out gentle chuckle from his mouth "I will Lady Argento, thanks for your assistance. Without your help, I'm sure I won't be here now." He said sincerely

"Save your gratitude for later Apollo-san." Asia replied simply as she done heal his wound, she moved her steed and face the enemies in front of her "Our fight still not done." She stated as she grip Ascalon while clutching the rope of her steed tightly

Apollo stare at her for moment before he extend his single hand, a halberd instantly formed on it and his wings extended like proud eagle once again as he taking stance, despite he only have one arm left but the Angel still look strong and dangerous to one who face him

"Indeed it is Lady Argento. Shall we show these heathen and heretic the Might of Heaven?" He asked

Asia smiled slightly hearing that, she grasp Ascalon from the ground and rise it to the air, like a commander that stand in front of it army "Indeed Lieutenant Apollo, let show them." She answered


It wasn't fight between man. Not with the way they fight. Not with they way they clawing each other. Not with the way they try to overwhelm each other. Their appearance even not resemble any Human despite both of them actually Human in body and soul

It was more like fight between beast. A fight between ferocious creature

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!"

Arthas snarled as he jumping to his enemy, and when he near, he brought down his axes, two of his arms cleaving down to his enemy from above, four from middle and the last two from below. All of them launched almost at same time to the target with very well planned manner, each of them also contain strength that even will slice high quality steel like hot knife cut butter

The mad beast responded by kick him straight in chest

The moment Arthas jumped to him, the beast already prepare her leg. And when Arthas arrive, she kick him. It was only simple like that. However, that actually not easy thing

To said Arthas had surpass Mankind strength and reach supernatural level is not exaggeration, he already that strong when he still looks normal. But when he use the drug, and turning him into more savage form, he could snap High-class Devils like a twig with his bare eight hands if he wish to, it won't be challenge in fact

With such power, such speed and endurance, he already some being that you said reach near Ultimate-class Devils or Eight winged Angel. So when he move, he undoubtedly fast to the point no men could see his movement, even Yuuto Kiba, Rias Gremory Knight won't able to match him

But to the mad creature that he currently face, it was nothing

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!"

The roar that the beast let out is more like a shriek. It was mixture between growl and deep squeal. It was so inhumane, it was filled with insanity and madness so deep to the point even veteran warrior like Andras feel chill just by hearing it

Black colored prana flaming around the dark knight, dark greaves that seems blurring and surrounded by dark flame slammed the ground and creating crack on it like a beast that stomp on earth

The Holy Sword she held gleaming with dark aura. It majestic form gone the moment it grasped under the madness of it wielder had, turned to sword that drawn only for blood and desire for kill, the purpose of it Light is gone, yet, it effect still there, it still give power to it wielder. The black knight growling as she take step and rushing to her enemy with murderous intent, the power she got from the sword make her become whole body faster, even surpassing Arthas

Arthas who just control his breath after the hit, let out growl. He rose again and bracing himself, the mad knight arrive in front of him with fast! This girl speed even surpassing him! She swing down her spear and he just in time to block it with one of his axe

'Wait! Spear?! Isn't she...' Arthas eyes narrowed to the pole that slammed down to him. No.. The dark and red runic weapon that he block wasn't spear, it shape was too crude, too long and too ugly to be one, it more like piece of thing that broken rather than weapon. And yet, it able to stand against his weapon that able to match Eight winged Fallen Angel sword! How could this be?!

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!"

The dark knight let out another shriek, her left hand that holding the 'spear' pushing one of Arthas hands easily. His corrupted sword swung to his face and Arthas rise one of his upper hands, blocking the incoming sword. The moment his upper arms block it, his middle arms launched to the girl side that wide open

But the dark knight see it. The 'spear' on her left hand instantly slammed to the two hands that threatening to strike her and block the attacks. She let out another roar before her right hand cleaved down once again to Arthas chest

'Tsk! This girl!' Arthas raise his axe once again, he forced his muscle and prepare himself to meet the girl weapons and-

SLAASH!

It tore apart the moment the corrupted Excalibur Rapidly meet pommel of it, and cleaved down one of Arthas right middle arm, then straight to his chest.

Blood spurt out from Arthas dark body and one of his lost hand, the giant man eyes widened with shock and pain seeing what just happen. Too shocked at what happen, he didn't notice pommel of the mad knight 'spear' launched to his face and hit him straight. The strength inside that swing is proved to be strong enough to crack his jaw judging by sounds of 'crunch' that echoed

The giant man hurled away, crashed to the ground roughly. Despite the 'spear' pommel smaller than his chin, but the strength it possess still strong enough to hurt him. He growled as he stand again quickly in afford to not got caught by the girl.

His breathing heavy sometime due to pain from slash mark on his chest, though it not harm his organs but it quite deep and painful too! The wound on the arm meanwhile is not, while he have eight arms, but only the upper two is his original arms. The other six more like robotic, though he can't control it, but he won't feel pain even if the sliced

'What the fuck?! That sword! How the hell my axes that couldn't be destroyed by Andras Light break under that sword?!'

Excalibur Rapidly one of fragments of mighty Holy Sword that created by God of Bible. Despite it fragments of legendary sword but it fragile, the shell that encasing it is flawed. However, when Issei create it, he reforge it into better

The Excalibur Rapidly shell is forged with steel and material that match it core, turning the flawed weapon into perfect one. Into a sword that worthy to be called fragments of Excalibur, a sword that truly reach level of Noble Phantasm and capable to stand on same level against Kanshou and Bakuya

Xenovia didn't break the axe with easy. No, she targeted the part where it weak, where it fragile and strike it. Despite the madness she possess but her strike still flawless and skilled. And with strength she possess, it wasn't hard to destroy it

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!"

The dark knight roared and throw the 'spear' she held. It aim was flawless, swift, strong and clean as it tore the wind apart by it strength.

Arthas swat away the incoming 'spear', but when he did that he notice the mad knight already rushed to him, she using it as distraction and he knew this. Instantly, he command twelve of his floating giant axes, all of them rain down to her just when she take single step to him, and when they near her, they explode

The ground start to shake for moment as the axes explode one by one, like a grenade they are, but the force and power they held is bigger and more deadly than those mundane weapon

In instant that explosion happen, Arthas already there. It was similar tactic he use when facing Andras before. But seeing the enemy only had one weapon, he make the distraction in form of bigger smoke to block her vision, add the fact she fighting like rabid dog, it would be better if she can't see

He swing his axes from two sides, three of his arms come from right and four from left. It was well planned strike, seeing she only have one weapon, if she manage to block it, she only could do that from one side. And her weapon also not too big, it won't be able to block all his strike simultaneously, either way, he will got her this time

But he not

His axes clashed with something, creating sounds of metal grinding to each other in the battlefield, the strength he put to his arms also halted. When the smoke cleared, Arthas shock went to another level

All seven of his brodaxe is blocked by the little girl who now hold pair of giant, black demonic axes that surpass her size. The position of the axe was so clean and flawless that it manage to block seven strikes at same time

'Axes?! Where the heck those axes come fr-Wait! I know those axes!'

It was barely recognizable due to black flames that licked every part of it and red vines that slithering around it, but Arthas still could see it. Those axes was his, the one he create before! How the hell it happen?! The axes he create! How could she able to us-

He doesn't have time to think anymore as the mad knight push all his arms. The girl in black armor twirling the axes on her arms, spinning them dangerously and deliver strike to him. The dark skinned giant forced to defend himself, despite their sizes surpassing her but she doesn't have problem do that, the way she handle them also so flawless, so perfect, like she were master of those weapons

Her fighting style is crude and rough, like a beast. But all of her strikes is accurate, the way she maneuver the axes she wield also so good to the point it almost like extension of her body rather than weapons!

She jumped over him, landing behind him, she rushed toward him with spinning axe that launched to his chest. Arthas use three of his arms and swatting away the first axe, but the second axe come in instant and he use his other group of arms to block it.

The dark knight taking one step forward and her strike start to become more brutal as both of her axes keep coming and coming to assault the giant man. When she using Excalibur Rapidly, it was hard to strike due to numbers of Arthas weapons and his size, however, with the size of weapon she wield now, that no longer issue, despite her speed decreased but it did not even give her problem to match the giant man

It was comical sight to people who watching. A two meter size giant bulky man with seven arms, pushed back by someone who only reach his chest or stomach perhaps. And again, people could tell just by seeing the smaller figure that she absolutely dangerous

"Damn you mad beast!" Arthas snarled in anger, his gold colored eyes filled with fury "Just die already!"

The dark knight and the dark giant clashed against each other. The way they fight is not like man, but like a beast. Where the giant man have advantage of size and numbers of weapon, the dark knight repel him with skill and strength

Their weapons clashed violently, the forces of their strength tearing apart the wind and ground itself. It was clear to the spectator that Arthas the one who losing against the mad knight

Arthas fighting style is based with axes projectiles and overwhelming his opponent with numbers. It was perfect style against Andras who is focused to melee and wielding only one weapon. However, the mad knight that stand he face blow everything away of his style

He couldn't use numbers of weapon since the mad knight take them and using it as her own, not just that, the axes she take somehow become more stronger than his own! What kind of trickery is this?!

'And she's mad! She's insane! But how the heck her strike and aim so accurate?!'

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!"

A strong and powerful double swing from the axes make Arthas skidded back few steps, but despite of that his stance and posture still balanced. His feets digging the ground and he instantly rain down barrages of his floating axes, all of them come from behind to ensure the dark knight can't grasp them and he make them explode when they near

Like thunderbolts, this time the explosion was stronger than before. Arthas make them fragile, make them to explode rather than slicing so the mad knight couldn't use them if she able to grab them somehow

He about to launch himself but stopped when pair of axes thrown from the smoke, they are twisted and spin in air like a boomerang. The giant man block it away, he feel the force of it pushing him and it hard to push them back since one of his arms already sliced and it also make his body imbalance

But that doesn't matter, with swat of his arms the axes repelled away. The girl is fool to thrown her weapon away like that! Now she defenseless and-

She was there, in front of him, with the corrupted Holy Sword on her arms. And he open, so wide open due to just swatting those axes

'What?! Impossible! She already throw away that sword before! So how could she-'

His eyes found the answer. Not far from them, he could see Andras grinning viciously with one hand extended in throwing motion

'That! That bastard Fallen Angel!'

A quick and flash swing from the dark knight hands, and Arthas upper body separated from his bottom.

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!"

But the mad knight not stop there, just when his body separated, she move her hands again. Her dark and corrupted sword slicing part of the upper body that floating into two, another swing and it turn to four, a swing once again and it turned to eight

The swing despite swift, but it also brutal. The pieces of the sliced part were unclean, bloods and organs splattered to the ground like a pieces of sands that dropped from someone grip

The dark knight stand firm above her fallen opponent. The dark Prana that lick all part of his limbs, combined with her form that blurred just like an off-focus photograph and made of hallucination made her exactly looks like Knight from Hell that come to tear everyone apart

"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅!" She let out another inhumane roar to the Heaven, despite the madness and insanity it carry but everyone could hear there triumph in that roar. It was roar that people let out when they win and prove their superiority


"Bloody Hell..." Azazel muttered, his eyes wide like saucer as he stare at the fight that he just witnessed "The Hell is that?!"

Vali, on his side also show surprise look, his mouth opened slightly with eyes wide. Just like Azazel, his mind clearly couldn't comprehend what he just see

"Such bloodlust and darkness... Does she have some kind of curse or what?" Vali asked aloud

"I don't know..." Azazel answered, his eyes still locked to Xenovia "This is the first time I see things like this. True I had seen potion or drugs that trade someone sanity for strength but..." He waved one hand in exasperated manner "No drug make someone able to turn piece of broken tree into spear that could match Sacred Gear!"

"A bloodline perhaps?" Vali suggested as he also intrigued with such ability

"Possibly." Azazel agreed while nodding his head "A bloodline that unlocked. I wouldn't surprise if it was Hyoudou Issei who did that. Though... That darkness... It could be some sort of spell." He hummed while rubbing his goat

"My Rival truly interesting..." Vali stated with proud tone and smirk

"Interesting is too small for him." Azazel snorted "I''m surprise you not jump at him when he insult you though." He said as he give small glance to him

"Ah... Yes, Albion still very angry about that." Vali said in strained tone "But I don't wish to fight him now... Perhaps a small spar, yes. But fight to the death? No, I don't wish to, not yet."

"Oh..." Azazel quirked his eyebrow "Care to share?"

"I don't want to fight someone who not at his full power." Vali answered with shrug "We both still young, there still plenty of time. Add the fact we both is the only Host of Heavenly Dragon that not influenced by hatred of them

"No... When we fight, it would be glorious. It would be a fight that make the World remember the power of Heavenly Dragon once again. A fight that bring full form of our Sacred Gear! A fight that would be marked in history and be forever remembered!

"Right now, I won't fight him. Not yet, we both not ready... But perhaps in future... Soon or later, we will." Vali finished with smirk of glee

Azazel stare at the dark silver haired man with stony look. For moment it seems he wish to say something but he only shook his head, he turn his attention back to Xenovia who now rampaging to Khaos Brigade army

'Change huh?' Azazel thought as his eyes held some gleam 'Is this possibly a sign as well?'


The moment Knucker unleashed, all Khaos Brigade members in that section retreated. They all knew they shouldn't be there when the beast come. They cast so powerful boundary field that caging the beast alone with the enemy

They knew it would be useless. The moment the beast finish with his prey, he will destroy the field like child destroy the sand castle he made. They can't cage this beast, not even their leader division could do so

But at least they can protect themselves from his rampage until he done with his enemy. And when he done, they will release the cage once again

Water were harmless. That was what most people often said. Among fire, lightning, earth, wind and water, the latter is the most harmless one. But in breath of Dragon? That harmless element turned to death sentence

Those elements that believed to be harmless, crushing everyone. The blue ocean colored liquid was everywhere, it slidding through the grounds, crashing the group of Devils that oppose him, suffocating them inside it, and killing them slowly and painfully

It won't be problem if it only normal water. The Devils still could fly through it. A mere water won't kill them, harm them? Yes, but not killing them. But it not, it not normal water, it is water that breathed by Dragon.

Anything that breath by Dragon never normal, never harmless. The water that come out from his mouth would make hundred of hydrant pale, the moment they crashing to them, it destroy all their bones, their metal protection dented and break, their muscles tore apart like burst of water hammer sack of paper.

But it not the worse part

The water... Actually not water... It maybe clear like one, it maybe colourless like one, it maybe odourless like one as well, but it not. It not a water. It was poison, a fatal and deadly poison that looks like water

Those whom survive from wave of the water only have few minutes before they all drop dead. The water that crash to them, wash over their whole body. One things that make water different from all other elements, it absorbable. The moment it crash to their body, their skin wetted by them and they absorb those poison. It instantly enter their body through all hole in their body, even the one not visible. They all flowing to their skins, drilling themselves to reach their veins, and then rotten their organ through inside

The poison is so lethal that even it made Riddle Phenex, Lord Phenex and Devil that categorized as candidate for Satan fell to it. Everytime those poison touch him, he forced to regenerate new skin and body in order to shed away the corrupted flesh and skin

There no survivor from Devils army save for Riddle Phenex... They all drop dead the moment Knucker finish his rampage and stand above the blond haired Devil that coughing blood under his massive claw

The Lord of the Phenex only few seconds away from dead. The giant Dragon already open his giant maw and about to chomp his whole body

But then they come

Like a comets they are. Their glowing in gold color, like a thunderbolts, crashed to the giant beast body, only six their numbers but the force they carry surprisingly strong enough to hurl away the beast from Riddle

Earthquake appear when the giant serpentine crashed to the ground, followed by roar of pain that escape from his mouth. The giant serpentine Dragon head instantly tilted, his pale yellow slitted eyes tracking down man who dare to strike him in such manner

And he found it, he found the one who responsible for that

And he not pleased... Not at all..

A man... A mere man... Not even bigger nor taller than one of his nail!

"You puny Human!" He snarled, anger and hatred very visible in his voice "You dare to defy me?! Me?! Poisoner of Sussex and Venom of Horsam! Who you think you are, little Man?!" He demanded as his long, and serpentine body curled behind him, his massive eyes glaring at the Man who floating in air and look down to him

The man who called curled his lip down. His handsome face set into sneer, the golden majestic armor he wield groaned as the gauntlet clenched into fist, his spiky golden-brown hair fluttering and his red cape billowing by the air around him

"Who am I?" He sneered, voice filled with anger as his crimson slitted eyes bore down to the serpent "A lowly serpent like you dare to questioning me?!" His murderous intent is visible in his eyes that radiated fury "Little Serpent, you should know well to never questioning your King!"

The space behind the man ripped apart in haze, as if they are made by water, ripple come out from it followed by a golden majesty circles that much like a halo.

Thirty two of them floating behind the King. Swords. Maces. Daggers. Spears. Everything from elaborate scythes that few could even hold to simple quarter staves, weapons of all shapes and sizes from all the world over. They all so beautiful, masterpiece of greatest craftman from many eras, even the simplest one would make any craftman awing them

Despite their shapes different, despite the one made them different, they all share one same thing

They all are weapon to slay Dragon kin

Knucker obviously know it. The moment his eyes laid to the dozens weapon that pointed to him, he instantly knew what kind of things they are and how deadly they to him. So he reacted immediately, his maw wide open and a torrent of poison out from his throat

The air itself turned to shockwave when the water brush them, the area around the massive beast seems shaking for second when such powerful roar unleashed. The poison tore the space itself and ripped by the strength it contain as the deadly liquid soaring to it target

Issei only look at the deadly poison with expression of boredom. There no sign of fear or wary, it was expression that look like men only stare at white plain wall. He tilted his head slightly and sniffed in disdain

Then the fortress come

A large, and familiar pink flower burst out from existence, covering his whole body and shoot out seven petals of shield that worthy of fortress enchanted wall. The poison water meet the shield, a momentary struggle appear before the first layer of the mighty shield break, then it continued to the second

The golden clad man expression remain boredom as he stare at the burst of water that slammed to his shield. His face slowly turned to disdain and he sniffed his nose

"Annoying! Get out from my sight!"

A single halo come out few inches away from his head, and it come. It color is gold, it length is two meters. Few beauty emerald green jewel ornament adorning various of it part. The spear crafted so beauty that even Gods will approve it and honored to wield such masterpiece

It is a Spear that wielded by Chief God of Norse, Spear of Odin, Gungnir.

Divine bolts cracking around it, it power barely restrained before the King launch it. The shield dismissed and the spear meet with the poison water that about to crash to the King

The water split into two

Knucker cancel his roar, he tilt his neck upward and just in time to avoid the legendary spear that slammed down to the earth beneath him. The beast let out snarl and glaring at the man angrily, but he had no chance to speak as the thirty two deadly Dragon slaying weapon rain down to him

Despite it massive size, Knucker undoubtedly fast. His giant serpentine body slithering in the air, every part of his body moved with great speed and dodging all the projectiles flawlessly and letting them crashed to the earth like comets

The beast flap his wings, his huge body floating and covering the earth with his shadow. His yellow slitted eyes bore to Issei eyes before it promptly widened, then his face turned to pure fury

"I recognize you!" He growled menacingly as his body slithering in sky "You are one of Two. One of Emperor! You was the one who responsible for my territory destruction! Welsh Dragon!" He roared "I've been waiting this days for so long! To meet one of your Host! I shall crush you! You and your petty Host! I shall show you my might!"

The beast roar echoed to the field once again, he open his maw widely, gathering another source of power and prepared to unleash his breath to the World once again to crush his opponent

But before he able to, he forced to clamp down his maw, his giant body instantly slithered in air and avoid barrages of golden projectiles that rain down to him from sky.

"Fool beast." Issei sneered "You think I'm going to hear your roar again? I don't wish to hear your petty voice any more!" He wave his hand, and the Gate of Babylon open wider, where before only thirty two, now it turned to hundreds all of them floating behind their owner, spewing out countless of masterpiece that crafted solely to slay Dragon

Knucker doesn't have chance to reply as he instantly move his body. The Dragon twisting in air, his long, serpentine body moved, slithering in air and bended as much as possible as the beast try his best to dodge the deadly projectiles

But it useless... Dodging thirty two maybe not hard, but hundreds? For creature like his size, that wasn't easy, add the fact those deadly golden projectiles not just thrown randomly, no, they all launched with perfect aim and intent to damage him as big as they could

His scale that could put diamond to shame pierced, tore apart when the weapons stab them, bloods splattered out from his body, dropped to the ground like a rain, followed by shriek of pain when the anti-dragon energy inside those weapons taking effect

But still, the beast stand

Despite the pain, despite the wounds, Knucker prove himself to be worthy foe. Worthy to be called creature of power, to be called Dragon

He roared in anger, his giant body hurled toward the man who floating in air, his claw open so wide with intent to crush the little man with his strength

Issei in response merely pull one sword from golden halo that appear on his side. It was western two handed two-handed, golden greatsword with a blue jewel embedded in the hilt that boasts a magnificence and enormity possible only for weapons tended to by inhuman hands.

The moment he pull it, the sword already reacted. Power, absolute and unadulterated force come from it, twilight color swirling and swelling with power around it

One of Gilgamesh flaws, is he's a King. He maybe ranked the highest of all Heroic Spirits because he possess over a thousand Noble Phantasm, and each of those Noble Phantasm can be used to kill all kin of Heroic Spirits. But that's it, that his flaw, he's a King, a man who possess them. He not a warrior who capable to use them to their maximum potential, he's not a man who taking Noble Phantasm to its ultimate limit

But Issei? Issei surpass that limitation

His main body altered by EMIYA fragment of soul, his eyes able to perceive history of any weapons with single glance, enabling him to see the owner of them and know their fighting style.

And that... Enabling Issei to wield the Noble Phantasms he have like those Heroes who wield them to the ultimate level

With such ability, Issei not just become Greatest King, but he also become Warrior that able to use any kind of weapon

Phantasmal Greatsword, Felling of the Sky Demon

"Balmung!"

A powerful semicircle wave that formed with purpose of nothing but complete destruction launched when Issei swing down the sword. It slice the air and space, roaring to the great beast that looming over him

Knucker right wings, limbs and part of his body sliced

Like a rain, his bloods and flesh showering down to the earth, turning the brown ground into color of this bloods, followed by his shrill of pain and agony as his body tore apart by powerful Dragon Slayer sword

His giant serpentine body fell from to the sky like building that crumble from pressure as the beast lose most of his right part, crashing to the earth and creating powerful earthquake due his weight

He twitching and whimpering in agony, the pain of his body torn apart is so unbearable, add the fact it caused by Dragon Slayer weapon and have many of them currently piercing his body, it only make him in pain more

Issei merely stare at the beast that writhing with disgust and disdain

"Snake... Look at you... Attempting to stand defiantly against me as if you were my equal or better. You came here with the intention to cause chaos weren't you? With intention to show the World your might, to proof that you not a pitiful shadow of Great Welsh and his rival, did you not? Yet here you are... Writhing and whimpering like a snake who hide under piercing eagle eyes."

Knucker glare was so murderous, so filled with intent to maim and destroy. Had look could kill, Issei already dead thousand times, unfortunately for the Dragon it not

"Puny Human... You dare..." He growled, it was weak, but it still filled with power and so much hatred "I'm Knucker. Vernom of Horsam. Poisoner of Sussex. You-"

"Do I look like someone who care?" Issei sneered down at the beast, cutting him from speaking "I did not allow you to speak, be a good snake and be silence!" He declared as he casually wave his hand again

Hundreds of halo appear around the giant serpentine Dragon, they surround him from above, from left, from right, and from behinds, a weapons come out from them before they all launched to Knucker mangled form. They stabbed his face, neck, wings, limbs, all part of his body destroyed and carved out by the golden projectiles

And the beast ceased to move

Issei merely let out scoff under his breath, the beast is strong, undoubtedly far stronger than Kokabiel. But what people doesn't know, the current Him now is stronger than Kokabiel... And with Gate of Babylon on his side

"Holy Shit! You really did it!"

Issei turned to see Azazel approaching him, followed by Vali with Divine Dividing, Sirzechs, Raphael and Michael. They all float to him and their expression one of awe, save for Vali who have glee expression and Raphael that have his face covered by mask

"A Dragon... A Evil one no less..." Azazel muttered. It wasn't secret that Evil Dragon is some kind of Dragon that mostly avoided, unlike normal Dragon, while they powerful but they also mad and have screws in their head loose, and no one wish to fight with rabid creature, especially if that creature is Dragon

"Does it matter?" Issei quirked his eyebrow simply "How about the evacuation? Did you all done?" He asked

"The Angels already retreated to Heaven." Michael answered

"Same occur to Fallen Angel." Azazel added

Everyone turned to Sirzechs who have bitter face, his eyes also show sadness "Only Riddle Phenex survive... Right now Grayfia tending his wound... Asia-chan also helping her as she also treat Xenovia." He close his eyes for moment in order to mourn for his fallen army before open it and there coldness in there "I already locked the Boundary Field, none of them would be able to got out... Not when I'm still alive." He said coldly as his blue-green eyes peering at Issei

Issei in response merely give approval smirk to the Lucifer "Fantastic! I guess you not so bad Lucifer." He stated

Not long when they mentioned, they all comes. No longer they separated now, the armies from three sides that attacked joined together. So many Devils. So many Fallen Angel. So many Magicians. Their numbers even surpassing thousand. Spears of Light armed in hands of Fallen Angel. Magical weapons armed in Devils hands. Magic circle with countless rune and symbol hovering around the Magician

In face of the army, all Leader of faction preparing themselves. Azazel smirked arrogantly, Sirzechs face were cold and emotionless, Michael face set into grim expression while Raphael already have spear on his arm. Only Vali who not show any sign to wish for fight

Issei taking single step, despite he currently in air, he stepped on the empty space as if there solid land in there.

Unlike all people, Issei was exactly like Emiya, the Card-class had tweak and molded his Element and Origin just like what Avalon done to Shirou. Issei is the Incarnation of Sword and had he born or live in World where Emiya live, their Magecraft and nature will be exactly same, they won't be able to use any spell save for creating World that filled with Swords

But nay, in here, in his World where Age of Gods never end and where Mana was so rich to the point it even exist in air, in World where normal Civilian even could become Magus with hard work, those limitation doesn't exist

It was difficult, but learning another Magecraft was not impossible for him in here. He maybe still can't fly, but he doesn't need to, all he need to do was tweaking the air, using spell to make them like a ground where he can walk. The area maybe only enough to place round table on it, but it actually could be quite useful

"Hear me, Khaos Brigade." Issei yelled, his voice is loud due to spell he cast, making everyone able to hear him. He stand firmly, his aura filled with nothing but confidence as he cross his arms under his chest and his golden armor make him looks like King

"I am Issei Hyoudou. The Slayer of Kokabiel, the Angel of Stars and one of Lord of Grigori. The Slayer of Knucker, the Venom of Horsam and Evil Dragon of Sussex. Hostof one of the Heavenly Dragon, Ddraig, the beast whom the Gods feared. I'm the first Human that sit in same chairs with Leader of Three Faction of Bible Faction. And I give you a chance, kneel before me, and I MAY spare your life."

His words echoed in the battlefield, heard by everyone. It was filled with arrogance and confidence, but depth inside their minds, no one could deny it that his title and declaration is not baseless, after what they just see, he, indeed have powers in his side

The answer he receive is thousands of spears of light, followed by spells and demonic power that shaped into powerful blast. All of them soaring in air, turning the dark night into day by their brightness and their various colour

All Leaders take stance, they prepared to block the attacks as power radiated from them. But Issei raise one hand in stopping motion, he merely flash them smirk, not even show any sign of wary or fear to the countless attacks that rained to him

"Very well! In that case I shall send you all to Realm of Dead tonight! Give Hades my greeting!" He declared loudly, crimson eyes gleaming with mirth

It wasn't hundreds this time. The space behind him and the Leaders tore apart. Countless golden halo appear from the air, like stars they appeared, points of golden light with size of adult man's head. Ripples spread from them, as if stones had been hurled into a lake of molten gold, and as the light grew objects appeared in the portals.

There no limitation. When facing Knucker, Issei use hundreds of weapons that only capable to slay Dragon. But now not anymore. Spears. Swords. Hammers. Axes. Maces. Daggers. Halberds. Countless legendary weapon that stored in Gate of Babylon floating in air, all of them pointed to the incoming attacks before launched one by one like a cannon that let loose

They are spear that made by light, despite there no more Holy element inside them but it still make them deadly enough, they able to extinguish flames and even burn the water. There thousands of their numbers, so many that the night turn to day with their bright, with such numbers, even they enough to destroy a whole island and sunk it down to the bottom of the sea

They all break, tore apart and shatter like glass when the legendary weapons struck them

They are power that created from imagination, filled with dark and destructive energy from creature that reside in Hell. Their shapes is countless, some as a lighting, some as a ice, some as a fire. They all is manifestation of Demonic power that capable to destroy even Grigori best protection. With their numbers, even one of God best Warrior, Seraph, could be brought down and destroyed without anything remain

They all blown away and do nothing like candle blown away when the legendary weapons struck them

They are spell that crafted to be the best. All of them is wonders of Magus, where they lack in power, they craft them together to mix them into deadly combination. Ice and water spells followed by lightning spell so they become destructive. Fire spells followed by wind spless so they become more hot. Thousands of them is more than enough to obliterated the half of island like a rain of nuclear bomb

They all extinguished and broken like a glass meet brick wall when the legendary weapons struck them

Their attacks not working. None of them does. In faces of countless legendary weapons that keep coming, all their attempt is meaningless. No matter how many they throw their attacks to counter them, the barrages of deadly weapons never stop, the weaker weapons break perhaps under their counter, but soon ten rose to behind them, and also whenever the weak one break, the strong replace them, and their numbers also greater

It was countless. It was hopeless. The weapons were endless, they keep raining to them through thousands of golden halo that floating around the golden armored man. They eventually forced to stop attacking. They all focused to defend themselves and to counter them after the barrages of blades and weapons

The Fallen Angel summon their defense magic. Using technologies they have from Grigori, they enchant their magical defense, barrier that capable to match defensive wall of Heaven castle where they live before formed, so strong they are, despite looking so thin but the strength behind them is something to be reckoned with

Weapons like Gáe Dearg or Rule Breaker shatter them like a glass

The Devils use their special spell, a spell that based on their imagination. A firm and strong wall made of nothing but Mana come forth, they are enchanted by their demonic power, their form is crude, but they so firm, so strong and so thick. They all contain power that even would able to stand against direct assault of countless best missiles of modern man

Durandal, Houtengeki and Merodach burst through them like giant hammer bludgeoning to the wall

Stone gathered, earth shaking, they all gathered and mixed. Countless spells binding them into one, enhanced by Prana and Mana together. They are turned to giant golems, so big they are that they rivaled modern building size, every part of their body is turned to fortress wall rather than simple stone, even their thickness surpassing one, they all rose and stand to cover the one that made them

Each golem strucked down by sixty weapons in instant along with their caster

It wasn't battle nor it fight. To call what happen now battle or fight would be mockery. Fight or battle is when two different sides trying to kill and attack each other with matched strength. This, this is not that. This is one sided massacre, where one side only wielding stone while the other have countless guns.

It wasn't contest. The Noble Phantasm that launched all have power to split the mountain, cleaving down hill, and destroy city like a nuclear bomb if their real potential unleashed. They all is weapons that wield by Hero in past and future, no matter how might spears and light wall Fallen Angel create. No matter how imaginative and potent demonic power Devils made. No matter how many and countless runes and enchantment the Magician put, they all nothing compared to countless of weapons that reach level of Legend and Myth

Scream, groan, shout and wail of agony echoed in battlefield as thousands of golden stars struck the field, struck the Fallen Angels, the Devils and the Magicians. Their armor protection and enhanced robes do nothing when the Noble Phantasm rain down to them like comets that fell from sky, causing explosion whenever they struck, turning the body into fireworks of gore as their flesh and bloods splattered to all direction

Amid all those chaos and dead, the Leaders from each faction only can stare with awe and horror. The power Issei Hyoudou display is not a power that they ever seen in their whole live, a power that shouldn't possibly possessed by Man a mere mortal. Yet, they all now witnessing the impossible

No one can deny it, but depth inside each of their consciousness, there fear lingering in their mind. It wasn't fear that make them paralyzed in terror, but it was fear that to think a boy who barely reach his twenties age and able to display such power just by himself

Each Leaders also not foolish enough to dismiss that he just a boy and Human, no. Each of them knew despite their weakness and frailty that Human is creature that held so much potential. Most legends that life in history were completed by Man, the existence of Demigod is only proof that shown Humanity is some entity that more amazing, because it show that even Gods deem them worthy to be their lover or bear their child

'He will become powerful ally... Or terrifying enemy in future...' Michael thought grimly as he witness the onslaught that happen in front of him

'Shit... Shit... Shit! Look at all those damn weapons! Many of them even make artificial Sacred Gear I made look tame! How the heck he create these weapons?!' Azazel thought with awe and shock at the weapons that launched to the Khaos Brigade army

'So this is... Your true power eh Issei-kun?' Sirzechs thought with amusement, small smile adorning his face as his eyes roamed to Issei back 'To think one could achieve this amount of power in young age... Truly Human are creature of potential.'

It wasn't long before the golden armored man stop his assault. All weapons immediately stop from being launched, but they all still there, they all still hovering in air while surrounded by the golden halo that turned the dark night into bright day. Issei eventually tilt his head upward a bit, his crimson eyes observing the destruction of his attacks

The battlefield... Is totally ruined... There no words that able to express it. It was total destruction. The grounds filled with chaos, the surface of the earth ruptured, the scape of the land itself changing, every part of it is field with rough land that destroyed. Corpses and bloods were everywhere, it almost like seeing trees in forest, they cover most every part of the land, wherever there no part that buried by corpse there would be blood in there

"Hmph... Mongrels... All of them, staining the earth even when they already dead." Issei scoffed as he walk down toward the ground despite he in middle of air, it as if there invisible stairs on his path

"Well..." Azazel glanced at the bloodied field with nonchalant look "I guess we start to burn the body, don't want the city to reeks of corpse now, aren't we?" He chuckled

"Allow me to..." Sirzechs flap his bat wings once, making him stand forward everyone. The Lucifer extend one of his hands, his face morphed to one of concentration. Crimson aura shimmering around his body, they like a flame, licking the air with power. A crimson magic circle, with symbol of his clan appear, the size of the magic circle small, but then suddenly it expanded in instant, it size turned to full sixty foot

Then they gathered, the circle spinning like mad wheel as the caster flow his power to it. They burst out through the giant circle, their shape like a flame, a spray that come out. Their color is dark slight crimson on their outline, and when they touch the bodies, they disperse

The bloods, corpses, the ground, remnant of trees, everything gone. The moment the dark colored 'flame' with crimson outline touch them, they all turned to dark colored motes, floating in air before disappear like candle blown by gust.

The Lucifer move his hand, the magic circle follow it, and the destruction follow it. The 'flame' eat everything away in instant, all it touch turn to nothing but dark particles in less than second.

It like watching wet cement that polished by steel. All part of the earth that 'burned' by the 'flame' become clean, despite it shape maybe crude and rough but the ground was clean, there no sign of bloods, corpses or any proof there battle in there anymore

"Impressive Crimson Satan." Issei remarked as he watched the battlefield now empty and looks like new clean earth "It seems rumor about you being ten times stronger than the original Lucifer wasn't exaggeration."

Sirzechs turned to Issei as he lower his hand, finished with his job. He give the boy smile of appreciation "Thank you Issei-kun, you flatter me. Though I don't know about the rumor, the original Lucifer also could do what I just did without any problem."

"Hmph. Don't try to be modest Crimson Satan, that facade not going to fool me."

"But Issei-kun!" Sirzechs whined, sounding slightly exasperated "I truly mean it."

Issei merely turned away him, not even bothered to reply, his crimson red eyes bore to Vali saphire blue one who watching him with thoughtful face "Still delude yourself to be my equal? Half breed?" He sneered

Vali eyes narrowed at the remark, sign of anger was visible in his face but Issei continued before he able to retort

"What your achievement, Half breed? What your worth? I have slay one of your Leader, an Evil Dragon, and thousands army with each of them at least High-class levels Devil or Angel. And I did them all without help of my Dragon, that show who the best one." Issei mocked while putting arrogance smirk "Learn your place Half breed, and I may listen your bark." He smirked, it was cruel smirk "Or you could cry to one of your disgusting parent that abandoning you."

Before anyone could blink Vali already there, his fist extended, his face is one of fury as he thrust himself, magic and power swirling around his fist with intent to kill as it aimed to Issei face and only few inches away from him

But Issei fist already one centimeter away from his

A strong grip and pull from Azazel just in time to save Vali face from smashing Issei gauntlet fist. The Governor of Fallen Angel move with speed that surpassing the Hakuryūkou

"Oi, Vali." Azazel called as he hold the struggling teen who glaring murderously at Issei "Oi, calm down." Azazel said, his voice sounds laid back but there hint in there, there something lurking in that nonchalant tone

And everyone could sense it, including Vali who frozen in instant. The dark silver haired teenager not move from his posture for few seconds before he calmed down, but the shaking on his shoulder still show that he in fury

Azazel turned to Issei, his face is calm and nonchalant like usual and he narrowed his eyes "That wasn't wise you know..." He stated "If you and Vali fight here, I doubt this city would exist. We maybe able to hold Knucker rampage but you two?"

It was true, the reason why the Boundary Field still stand now despite chaos and destruction it caused is because they also connected to the Leader of each faction, they had settle the barrier and focused to strengthen it in order to no one will able to escape save for people from their sides

Issei in response merely sneered "Do I looks like someone care?" He asked back "I just stating the truth to that Half breed of yours." He said simply with smirk of amusement "And judging by he react, he probably have problem with his real parent."

Azazel eyebrow quirked at that and Vali on his side stiffened for second. This boy is smart and quite sly, he have to give him that. Whatever happen to him now, he clearly become different person from the one who with them in meeting before

"Quite arrogance aren't you?" Azazel asked

"Hmph. I'm not arrogant, I'm confident." Issei corrected while sneered "Let me tell you, Governor of Fallen Angel, if there something called Miracle or Fate, that would be me, I assure you." His smirk curled to sharp grin "I already this strong without my Boosted Gear, imagine if I Boost myself... Let said twenty times, do you really think you will stand a chance against me? Even with help of hundreds of your army behind you I doubt you could beat me."

Silence appear between them. Everyone sans Azazel and Vali only watching the conversation with their own thought in their mind -albeit they ready to leapt if something happen-, while Azazel eyes turned to cold, there hint of murder in his violet eyes for moment before it gone

But Issei saw it, and it only make him smirk further

"You may intimidate me when we first meet Archangel of Doom." Issei said, his voice is nonchalant and his face is neutral "But know this, that, won't happen anymore. In fact, if you try to put that act again

"I will kill you."

It wasn't threat, it was promise. The Fallen Angel despite all of his experience in millennia found the hair on his back stand for second, dread filling his heart but it crushed in instant.

Azazel face turned to stony, his dark violet eyes also filled with coldness as he stare at Issei, despite there no visible sign he angry but it was clear he not take what Issei just said well

Issei merely smirked in arrogance manner further before he turned to Sirzechs "So, what now?" He asked them

"Well..." Sirzechs rubbed his chin, his face confronted to thoughtful "I guess this is just more proof that we need to made alliance right?" He asked to his fellow leaders

Michael hearing that close his eyes, he let out small sigh and pinch bridge of his nose "I guess you right... But still..."

"There will be chaos." Raphael grunted, his voice deep and stern like usual "There is no way people simply going to accept it."

"Oh let it be." Azazel snorted, sounding amused "If they too blind due to their own hatred then they all will die, let them learn their lesson by themselves. We just need to tell them that there great enemy lurking out there."

"And other faction also no doubt already start to suspicious to us. There chance one of pagan faction will attack us..." Sirzechs said "Those will be enough to convince them..." He stated "At least, I hope so." He added with small grimace

"Hmph. The Angel won't have problem, it would be your who need to be watched." Raphael commented snidely

"Don't forget that you have Human on your side as well, brother." Azazel shot back with sarcasm, eliciting glare from Raphael "I don't think they will accept your decision nicely."

"As much I hate it brother, Azazel right." Michael agreed as he sighed again "We will need to have stern talk. Perhaps, I will talk to Pope to make gathering where we could come and told them this news."

"A wise idea." Raphael said, sounded agree with his brother. That would be better, they will tell him to keep wary, not need to be friendly but at least don't be the one who strike them first

"Then what about you Issei-kun?" Sirzechs asked "What would you do? Would you stay with us to fight this organization?"

Issei casually quirked one of his eyebrow at that, his face remain calm under the looks from everyone "Let me make this clear to you all." His eyes lingering to all leaders "I'm not on your side, nor I'm on them, I'm on my own. No one tell me to do and no one command me. If this organization still try to bother me I will destroy them, but if they leave me alone and not on my way, I will leave them. Same thing occur to you all. And what I about to do..." He paused, tapping his chin in thoughtful manner before continuing "I guess, I will travel around the World to see what they could offer to me. The World is big, I had no intention to stop only in one place, I wish to see them all and see what I could get from them."

"You sounds like some kind of megalomaniac who want to conquer the World." Azazel commented in sarcasm

Issei merely smirked in amusement "Perhaps so..." He responded

"Will you stand on side when innocent threatened?" Michael asked, his emerald eyes narrowed

Issei turned to him, his crimson eyes meet with the Archangel "Hmph, rest assure Prince of Angel, I won't let some children killed in front of me without good reason." He responded to the Angel before he turned to everyone again "Well... If there nothing else to say, then I will take my leave. Where my girls?" He asked

"Ah, Grayfia tending them in that direction." Sirzechs answered

Issei merely cast glance to the area Sirzechs pointed before his whole body turned to motes of golden light, dissipating in air and gone in instant without saying anything

There silence when he gone, but it not long as it broken by Vali who asking "You let him go that easy?"

"And what would you wish us to do?" Sirzechs asked back "Don't you see how he act? He nothing like Hyoudou Issei we know, true he still have sense of the right thing but he absolutely different person." He said while making gesture with one hand. "Talking to him will be useless, he won't give any information, he will shot some weapons to you if you make any snide comment." He stated while shaking his head "Not I afraid to him, but I'm not in mood to fighting, not when peace just created between us." He added

"What Sirzechs said is true... He and Issei maybe share one same thing, he willing to do the right thing, but their method is absolutely different." Azazel agreed as he stare at where Issei disappear

"An alter-ego perhaps..." Michael suggested "Vali-san here said that Hyoudou-san certainly unlike all Host of Heavenly Dragon, he not showing any sign of he proud being Sekiryūtei but..."

"That boy before certainly have ego size that matched Heaven gate." Raphael added while snorted "That perhaps could be the answer, an alter-ego, a prideful personality that born due to another 'bug' perhaps."

"Maybe so..." Sirzechs muttered "Though for now, it better if we leave him alone, at least until the white hair Issei return?"

"White hair?" Azazel said dully "Seriously? That the best you can offer?" He asked and Sirzechs have decency to look sheepish at the question

"How about Steel-kun?" Sirzechs offered again "That what Serafall call him." He added when notice the looks he get from his companion getting worse

"Why don't we call the white hair with title he hold? Sword of Mankind?" Raphael suggested simply

"That quite fitting I suppose..." Michael agreed while nodding "But what about the blond haired one?"

"Well..." Azazel rubbed his goat "How about Super Saiyan?" He offered while smirking playfully

"""Not gonna happen.""" Everyone chorused in instant make the Fallen Angel pouted slightly

"I prefer Golden Oozaru thought." Sirzechs added again

Of course everyone ignore him

"Golden King..." Vali suggested suddenly, gaining everyone attention "That quite fitting right? With the gold color he wear and use when attack, a Golden King or Golden Emperor would be suit him..."

"Hmm, you right..." Azazel agreed while let out hum "A Golden King..." He rolled the title on his tongue with small amusement "Very fitting one... Golden King and Sword of Mankind... I wonder what would they bring to this World..."


Wow... I'm finally done! Take a lot of me to write everything! This must be the longest chapter I had write in all my story! And I must say, I really enjoy to write this one

Hahahaha! How about it everyone?! How the fight?! Oh yeaah, we see Asia kicking ass in here! Ascalon and Bayard come out! Wohoo! I hope you all who love our dear Asia-chan like the battle! I really enjoy it when writing his fighting scene

As you all can see, Asia not just transform and kick Severus ass, no. In truth, she will lose had her enemy is someone at Severus level, she only win because Severus is Devil and Dragon. In fact, if Asia face Apollo, her chance of winning will be smaller and big chance she will lose. The part of Severus quite arrogance and got surprise strike also factor why she win

Xenovia against Arthas, it really exciting to write some kind of guy who went berserk ya know? I even like to write her fighting scene rather than when Issei face army of Fallen Angels in Kokabiel Arc. In here, Xenovia win with factor of surprise, add the fact Arthas fighting style is useless against her and he also not as strong as Severus, he got butchered by her

Issei-Gil fighting scene. One thing that you all should know, Issei is not Gilgamesh. He maybe get Gilgamesh personality or trait of character but he's not Gilgamesh. Like EMIYA card that planted inside him, the card merely influence his personality, not absolutely replacing him or turn him into Gilgamesh, so pardon me if he not behaving like our beloved Golden King

And yes! Now you all see why I said Issei already very strong. With Gate of Babylon and UBW on his arsenal, he pretty much OP! Of course he can't just learn to use the Noble Phantasm, but at least he knew how to use it. He use Balmung in here because he had seen how Hyoudou use it when fighting against him

And if you all disappointed with Knucker, let me tell you, in this battle he didn't manage to use all his power. As you can see, the beast arrogant and wish to show his strength in different way, he could simply unleash powerful roar to drown the whole city and break through the powerful Boundary Field if he wish but he not. He not able to because he didn't get chance, Issei brutally murder him before he able to.

In term of strength and endurance, Knucker surpassing even the three Leaders combined together and stronger than normal Gods or the Elder one. Evil Dragon is strong existence in this story, so you shouldn't be surprise if you see in next time they will cause chaos and even give hard time to strong existence

Anyway! I hope you all love Issei battle scene! As you can see, this chapter totally show how strong he is in Gilgamesh form. Sadly for you all, it will be quite long before we meet this Issei, it because his personality change swiftly, if you all notice it, Issei taking pleasure when he slaughter the whole army, taking pleasure by the sheer of power he have like Gilgamesh

That, was not something Issei like. Not at all. So it will be a while before we see him again.

Anyway! This is it for now, I hope you love this chapter! Please give this story many Favorite, Follow, and Review. Your comments and support really appreciated! It make me more fired up to write the story!

Ja Ne! XD
