Wow, so no one in the reviews reacted towards Allen, huh? I though he'd be more popular...
Anyways, sorry for the long update. I had a bit of writer's block. Also, I think this is the largest chapter I've updated thus far...until I later post another one. 17k FTW!
Chapter 11: Tokyo Arc - Part 2
(Ramen Don)
Terra simply blinked at the name of the young man before him.
"Allen Walker...nice name." Terra complimented, before he turned back to his food. "The name is Terra Tachikaze. Nice to meet ya." Terra introduced himself, as he went back to chow down on his ramen. Allen just returned back a friendly smile.
"Thanks. Yours too." Allen said, as he went back to eating the ramen before them. As they did, Terra suddenly felt some weird sensation in the air.
'Huh...? There it is again...' Terra thought to himself. As he did, his ears picked up a loud thudding noise. Hearing this, he turned his head and his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw. Before him was a man who collapsed onto the floor while not moving. And when he didn't see the person moving before him, he became concerned about the man's state.
*THUD* *THUD* *THUD* *THUD*
He then heard multiple thuds going everywhere, and Terra looked around in surprise when everyone else in the restaurant are collapsing onto the floor and not moving.
Now he is becoming more alarmed at this.
"What the-!?" Terra heard a surprised voice, and turned his head to see his ramen companion Allen standing up in surprise. Terra was a bit surprised, seeing as to how Allen didn't collapse like the others. But before Terra could register how Allen is standing, his eyes caught a glimpse of outside. He then became alarmed at what is happening.
Outside the restaurant, everybody is collapsing onto the ground not moving. Everybody on the streets, on the sidewalk. Everywhere were people just collapsing onto the ground.
"What's going on...!" Terra muttered in surprise. As he did say that to himself, he noticed Allen rushing to a nearby collapsed person. He watched as Allen examine the person, and then saw the white haired teen breath in relief.
"Thank God...they're not injured or sick. They just fell unconscious." Allen said to himself, but then frowned at the sight before him. "Just what is going on...?" Allen muttered to himself, and then noticed Terra standing out from the others...both figuratively and literally.
"Terra...? How...?" Allen said with a confused tone. Terra just gave a raised eyebrow at him as well.
"I could ask the same thing as well. Why you not collapsing like the others? Hell, why are we both able to stand up just fine?" Terra asked, as he saw both himself and Allen just able to stand up just fine.
"I'm not really sure..." Allen muttered. The two then walked out of the restaurant, and saw everyone just lying on the ground unconscious. As they both looked around, Terra's eyes slightly widened when he looked to the grown.
"...The earth..." Terra muttered to himself, as he kneeled to the ground and place his palm on it. As he did, Allen noticed his gesture.
"What's going on?" Allen asked him, while Terra frowned a bit.
"According to my senses, I can sense a large stream of magic flowing through Tokyo. In fact..." Terra said, as he looked to the people of Tokyo. "...I can sense their magical energy being drained away as well." Terra said, and Allen's eyes widened at this.
"Wait, how do you know magic!?" Allen asked in surprise. Terra noticed that Allen was catching up to who he was, and he somehow knew that Allen is not your average joe.
"Well, I believe introductions are in order..." Terra said as he stood up. "You know my name already, so I'll just give you my occupation. I'm simply a mage." Terra told Allen, who looked at Terra with surprise.
"So you're a mage..." Allen said with surprise. Terra nodded at Allen, and then sniffed Allen's scent.
"For some reason, I'm smelling a holy scent from you. Are you perhaps...?" Terra said, as he tried to remember a title for those who worked for the Church. Allen nodded at him, seeing the question.
"Yes. I am an Exorcist from the Church." Allen told him, causing Terra to go "ah" at this, seeing to how his question was answered.
"I see..." Terra said. His phone then rang, and he looked at it to see Shiroe calling him. He immediately answered the phone.
"Shiroe?" Terra answered, and heard Shiroe breath in relief.
"Good, it seems like you're awake, because we're in a dire situation here." Shiroe said to Terra, causing Terra to nod at this.
"Yeah, I've noticed everyone in Tokyo is just falling to the ground unconscious, and there some sort of magic siphoning from their bodies. I'm not really sure why though that they're put to sleep. Having your magic drained isn't that taxing on the body..." Terra said as he looked around.
"That is true. That is exactly why something is wrong here." Shiroe told him, causing Terra to frown at this.
"It would seem so. By the way, how are the others?" Terra asked.
"They're all fine. In fact, we all met up at the 104 building." Shiroe told him, causing Terra to give out a breath of relief.
"That's good to hear..." Terra said, but his eyes widened when he felt something new. Something he felt within the earth.
*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*
"What the...? Why am I feeling intense vibrations underground...?" Terra said to himself as he felt the earth before vibrate violently. Allen seemed to notice this, and became alarmed at this.
"What's happening!?" Allen exclaimed in confusion. Terra turned his head towards another direction, and looked at it with a raised eyebrow.
"For some reason, the vibrations within the earth are getting more intense if you move in that direction." Terra said as he pointed towards a particular section of the city. Allen looked and looked focused.
"I see...I better go-!" Allen said, before something else happened. Terra sensed this as well, and turned his head in the opposite direction. His eyes slightly widened at what he saw.
(With the others)
The others turned their heads as they noticed something. Their eyes widened when they saw a bright light glowing brighter and brighter through each passing moment. They all shielded their eyes, until they widened when a large pillar of light rose into the sky.
"What the-!? What in hell is that!?" Mittelt exclaimed in a surprised, seeing the bright pillars of light rise into the sky.
"Whatever it is, it's something we should definitely check out." Leone said while frowning at the situation. She soon shifted into her Shihsi form, as her animal-like features came out. She then closed her eyes as she used her senjutsu.
"Whatever it is, I sense natural disturbances and distortions happening around it, so it's something definitely big. Like that isn't obvious enough..." Leone said as she placed her hands on her hips. Shiroe just pushed up his glasses as he hung up the phone.
"Well, I received word from Terra that another event is happening in another part of town. Apparently, strong vibrations are occurring, so he's going to check it out. Also, it seems that exorcist from the Church are involved in this as well." Shiroe told them all, causing them all to look surprised at this.
"The Church is involved as well!? Friggin hell, what is going on here!?" Mittelt shouted out, highly confused by all of this. Shiroe just frowned, as he pushed up his glasses.
"With the current pieces of information we have here, there is something, but it's only just a conjecture." Shiroe said, causing Leone to just shrug at him.
"At this point, we'll just take what we can. So feel free to tell us." Leone told him.
"Well..." Shiroe started. "I'll start with the factors here. The Church is involved in this, so this could only mean that the Three Faction's event are involved in this. So the case could either be the Devil's case or a Fallen Angel case." Shiroe deducted, causing Mittelt to groan annoyed at this.
"God damn it, if it is the Fallen Angels, then what in the hell are they doing..." Mittelt, getting real tired if Fallen Angels were invovled in this. It's bad enough that there's a certain Cadre that is trying to kill her, but to see other Fallen Angels to activities out of Azazel's eyes just really takes the cake.
"...Second, we felt a strong magic circle that is wide enough to be felt, and it is a possibility it covered Tokyo. After we felt that, people soon started falling unconscious. We aren't affected at all, so this spell is specifically aimed to people weaker than us. I can sense magic leaving everyone's bodies, and flowing towards a certain point. With this type of magic to just affect everyone in the city, the user or users must either be a powerful individual, or a spell supported by multiple people. Either way, those large pillars of lights must be connected with the events around here." Shiroe deducted, causing everyone to stay silent upon this.
"...Huh. For a conjecture, it sounds solid." Leone said, breaking out of the silence.
"Yeah. With your analysis, I'll believe it." Mittelt agreed. The three nodded at each other, and was about to get to the pillars of lights. However...
"That's very perceptive of you, magician." a voice said in the distance. They all gasped in surprise, before they turned to see a robed figure standing not too far from them. When they saw him, they all went into battle positions.
"And who the hell are you!?" Mittelt exclaimed, as she took out her Light Spear and her Fallen Angel wings made itself known. When she did that, the robed figure before her didn't flinch at the sight. Instead, she just sounded a bit surprised.
"A Fallen Angel? That's odd to see you with those type of people..." the robed figure said, causing both Leone and Shiroe to look at each other with confused expression when the robed figure talked about Mittelt. Mittelt, on the other hand, just grew frustrated at this.
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about!? Explain!" Mittelt said as she pointed her spear at the robed figure. The robed figure sighed before taking off the hood. When the person revealed herself, Mittelt could only pale at this.
"Y-You are...!" Mittelt squeaked out in surprise, having both Leone and Shiroe to look at her in surprise. From frustration to surprise means something.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Griselda Quarta, an Exorcist from one of the church." the person, now known as Griselda, introduced herself. Upon hearing this name, Mittelt look absolutely shocked at this.
"G-Griselda...one of the Church's strongest exorcist...here?" Mittelt squeaked out in surprise. When the two heard the "strongest exorcist", they looked surprised at the woman before them.
"Excorcist...!" Leone said in surprise.
"And the strongest...!" Shiroe followed. Meanwhile, Griselda just gave them a look.
"It seems my reputation precedes me. No matter, I do not particularly care if you know me or not. What matters here is the fact that this is happening right now, and you-" Griselda said, as she looked at Mittelt. "Will answer my questions." Griselda told her, causing Mittelt to blink at this.
"Me?" Mittelt said, pointing to herself. Griselda narrowed her eyes at her.
"Yes. You see, the young man's conjecture is actually accurate. The only thing that is missing is who is behind this mess." Griselda said, as her frown deepened. "According to our information, it seems that Fallen Angels are behind this sort of activity." Griselda said, causing the others to gasp in surprise.
"Seriously!? What the hell is the Grigori doing!?" Mittelt exclaimed in shock, causing Griselda to narrow her eyes at her.
"And why are you speaking like you had nothing to do with this? I find it suspicious that you're here of all places, so I can't believe that you found out about this." Griselda said, causing Mittelt to scowl at this, before she blinked in realization.
"Hey, would the mastermind behind this plan be run by a Fallen Angel named Kokabiel?" Mittelt asked her, causing the exorcist to raise an eyebrow at her.
"Kokabiel? We have heard the name of him, and it seems to be involved with this case. But we also have been informed that he is directly not in this case." Griselda said, causing Mittelt to blink in surprise and confusion.
"Wait, not directly?" Mittelt asked, but soon winced when the exorcist grabbed something on her back.
"I am the one asking questions here, Fallen Angel. Since you're here, I will have you answer my questions." Griselda said, taking a step forward. Mittelt stepped back, tensing at this. However, Shiroe stepped forward and in front of the exorcist.
"Enough. Causing a fight here won't solve anything. What is more important at hand is the predicament we are in right now." Shiroe said, looking around the eerily quietness of Tokyo. This caused Griselda to raise an eyebrow at him.
"While I agree with that, the matter still stands on the Fallen Angel here, and the two of you here." Griselda said, causing Shiroe to push up his glasses.
"We are currently traveling and went into this area, not knowing what is going on until now. However, I can assume that you don't exactly believe our words. But I can assure you that we are as concerned for the Japanese lands as much as you. As you see..." Shiroe said, gesturing to Leone. "She is a youkai, while I am a descendant of shinto legend. I apologize I can't tell you what descendant I am, but I can assure you that I am one." Shiroe told her, causing Griselda to hum in thought.
"That is certainly true. A youkai and you possibly a descendant of a divine being naturally want their land to be untouched. Many of the youkai here don't want their Japanese lands to be desecrated, so I'll believe your cases. But the matter still stands that the Fallen Angel before us. How can you exactly trust her?" Griselda asked him. Instead of answering that question, Shiroe went onto something else.
"Quarta-san, I have a proposal for you." Shiroe suddenly said, causing surprise all around.
"A proposal? And what would that be?" Griselda asked. Shiroe simply pushed up his glasses.
"We too are concerned about the citizens in this area, as well as what the Fallen Angels are planning. Thus, we are willing to assist you in stopping them. Our Fallen Angel here will also partake in stopping this case. This will prove that she is not involved in this. And if she is, we will simply subdue her until the case is over. What do you say? You got nothing to lose." Shiroe said, causing Mittelt to gasp in surprise at the part of the proposal.
'Shiroe, what the hell!?' Mittelt thought while shocked at the proposal, but she soon caught a glimpse of Shiroe's eyes. When she looked at his eyes, all she did was catch in apology from him, as if trying to tell her that this is his fault, but hope for he best. Even though she wasn't involved, for Shiroe to say it so easily was surprising.
'Well, he is the son of Omoikane. He practically uses knowledge and wisdom to get through.' Leone thought while placing her hands on her hips. 'He's like a Villain in Glasses...'
Griselda went into thinking for a short moment, before she quietly sighed and nodded upon hearing his proposal. She honestly had nothing to lose here, and the event was more important at hand.
"Very well. I shall accepted this proposal of yours. Just be sure to keep an eye on her." Griselda said, causing Shiroe to nod at her.
"Of course. Now, do you mind giving us further detail of what is going on here?" Shiroe asked, causing Griselda to nod.
"Alright. Currently, the Fallen Angels are in the possession of two holy weapons." Griselda said, having everyone be surprised by this.
"Two holy weapons...? Which ones?" Shiroe asked the woman before him.
"It is..." Griselda started.
(Rooftop)
As Shiroe and the others discussed the situation, the figure stood atop a building while watching from afar. While watching, all the figure did was go into a thinking pose.
"My my, so Mittelt is not involved in this, hm." the figure said to himself as he hummed in thought. He then gave a slight breath of relief. "...Well, that's a relief." the figure said to himself. He then sighed.
"In any case, I have my mission to stop the Fallen Angels from doing whatever they're planning here and stop them. But judging from the information I heard from the Exorcist of the Church, along with whoever is behind this...I'm afraid this mission is going to be difficult." the figure said, while his gaze went to Mittelt standing there.
"...And she's there. *Sigh*...so many issues with my plans...I know I shouldn't let my personal feelings get to me, but I'm afraid this is affecting me in the long run." the figure sighed once more. He then looked at the other direction.
"I remember that the magician said something about someone named Terra...wait...Terra...Terra...Terra..Oh!" the figure said to himself, as if surprised by this. His lips soon turned into a small smile, as he turned to the other direction.
"...I've been wanting to meet him for a while. A human mage...but more different to others..." the figure said to himself, as he spread out his wings and flew into the air.
"...Perhaps where he is going is where I should be as well. He may have the answers I seek." the figure said.
(With Terra and Allen)
Terra kept following the vibrations that kept getting stronger and stronger as he followed it to the source, while Allen ran along with him. As they both did, Allen turned his head to Terra.
"Hey, this might seem a bit late, but why are you helping?" Allen asked curiously, causing Terra to slightly turn his head at Allen.
"Hm? You ask why?" Terra asked Allen, causing Allen to nod at him.
"Yeah. While I do appreciate you in trying to help, not that many people do so without an aim. So why?" Allen asked, causing Terra to just shrug at him.
"Why need a reason to help people? If they're in danger, then you gotta help them. I can't sleep well when there are lives being endangered, so I guess it's a hero complex I guess..." Terra said, causing Allen to chuckle at him. Terra wasn't offended at all, and gave him an amused look. "What? Too childish?" Terra asked, causing the white haired exorcist to shake his head at him.
"Not at all. I find that rather noble if you ask me." Allen said while giving a small smile, while Terra returned the same smile as well.
The two continued to run until they ran into one of Tokyo's parks. As they ran inside the park, Terra noticed the strongest point of vibrations here. Terra stopped and looked at the ground, while Allen stopped and looked around as well.
"This is the place?" Allen asked, causing Terra to nod at him.
"Yeah. I can sense that this is the strongest point of vibrations." Terra said. As they both looked around, a manhole before them popped open, surprising them as they didn't expect it.
A figure soon popped out of the manhole, and Terra's eyes widened at what he saw.
"Ragna?" Terra said in slight surprise. Ragna's eyes came into contact with Terra's as well, but didn't have the time for introductions.
"Move move move!" Ragna shouted as he grabbed both Terra and Allen, unknowingly for the latter, as he hurriedly dragged them away. As he did, a large burst of white water burst out of the ground like a geyser, and it flew high into the air. The pressure was intense, as the ground underneath gave away easily and cracked apart as more water burst out. When Terra saw the flood, he simply placed his hand on the ground.
"Earth Dragon's Pillar!" Terra channeled his magic into the ground, causing a pillar to form underneath the trio. The pillar rose and took the trio above the small flood. As they elevated to a high enough level, Terra looked around the white water around them.
"I've heard of sewage leaks, but this is ridiculous..." Terra muttered, before he turned to Ragna. Ragna was panting a bit as he kneeled, and took a look at Terra.
"Well what do you know? You're here of all places..." Ragna said, before he sighed and stood up. "Damn, you and I just keep meeting at the most unexpected places." Ragna said with a slightly tired tone.
"What can I say? I'm just a magnet for trouble." Terra said, but shook his head. "But never mind that. What exactly happened Ragna?" Terra asked. Allen looked confused at this.
"Um...is he a friend of yours?" Allen asked. The two of them heard the question, and then glanced at each other.
"...I guess you can say that." Terra said while shrugging.
"I guess...?" Ragna said, though his tone was unsure.
Before Allen could ask anymore, the felt the increase of the water increase, before it exploded. They all shielded themselves from the splash. As they did, Ragna grunted in annoyance as the water came into contact with his skin.
"Damn, this stuff gives me an itch." Ragna muttered. When Allen felt the water come into contact with him, his eyes widened.
"Wait a moment...this is holy water!" Allen exclaimed in surprise.
Before Terra could ask what that could mean, the water explosion before them died down. As it died down, a figure popped out of the white water and rose into the sky. They all watched as the figure reveal itself. The figure wore an elegant robe that covered his body, if anything from his masculine features. He had dark hair spiking up with two fringes on both sides of his face. But the most prominent feature about him...
Was that he had four pairs of black wings.
The man before then rose in the air while the water around him was making way for him. He finally stopped in the air, and looked at the trio before him. He simply smirked at them.
"Well look what we have here..." the man said while he folded his arms. "An annoying pest who snooped into my project, an Excorcist, and from what I can tell, a mere magician. Seems like I have an interesting group before me..." the man said while giving a mocking clap.
"And who might you be?" Terra asked with a raised eyebrow. The man scoffed at him when he heard his words.
"And what makes you think I'll answer your questions, human?" the man sneered at the word human. "But I'm a polite man, so I'll tell you my name."
"Polite my ass..." Ragna snarked, getting an annoyed look from the man.
"Quiet you insect. My name is Vroch, a Fallen Angel. But not just any Fallen Angel..." the man now known as Vroch introduced himself, but continued to bask in his own name.
"I am the son of the great Fallen Angel Ananiel!" Vroch exclaimed, causing Allen have a sharp intake of air, Ragna grunt in annoyance, while Terra stood there with a plain look.
"Well, hey there Vroch, son of whoever it is. Are you responsible for this whole mess?" Terra asked, as he absolutely had no clue who this Ananiel was. This caused both white haired males to look at him with surprise, while Vroch looked absolutely offended by this.
"Terra! You don't know who is Ananiel is!?" Allen asked him in surprise, causing Terra to look back at him with a raised eyebrow.
"No. Should I care?" Terra asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes you should!" Vroch shouted with anger. "You ignorant human! You don't know who Ananiel is? I should kill you where you stand for not knowing him!" the Fallen Angel shouted in anger, causing Terra to pick his ears.
"...Um...can you tell me then? I really have no clue who this guy is." Terra said with an indifferent tone. Allen just surprised a sigh, and decided to explain thing to him.
"Ananiel is a Fallen Angel mentioned within the Bible. He is known to be the "Rain of God", and has speciality over holy water. But for him to have a son is unexpected...!" Allen said, looking surprised at the Fallen Angel before him. The Fallen Angel simply smirked upon recognition.
"Well, at least this exorcist is not as ignorant as you, you pathetic mage." Vroch said with a sneer. Terra, on the other hand, just didn't really care at all.
"Oh..." Terra said, and then proceeded to shrug at him. "Well then, good for you I guess. But that still doesn't answer my question..." Terra continued, but this just caused to anger the Fallen Angel in question.
"Insolent human! How are you show little care towards me and my father!" the Fallen Angel exclaimed angrily.
"Man, does this guy have a superiority complex? All this rambling is making him sound like one..." Ragna said to the two with an annoyed tone. The Fallen Angel became even more annoyed by this, and Terra just continued on with his question.
"So about that question earlier..." Terra asked, causing the Fallen Angel to growl at him.
"You're so damn annoying with these questions of yours. Fine, I'll humor you, because you won't get to live long anyways..." Vroch said with an annoyed tone. "Basically, what I'm doing here is employing a ritual. A ritual that will make two of my subordinates be compatible and use two certain holy weapons that will surely tip the scales in our favor. However, this required a large amount of magic, and I needed magical energy without being caught. What better way is there is to drain the magic that is contained within the people of Tokyo? It does have a nice populace for me to use..." Vroch said while chuckling at this.
"Then why did the people fall asleep then? You can just take away their magic while they're unaware of it." Allen objected, causing Vroch to scoff at him.
"I didn't want to be bothered. Also, have you seen the large pillars of light? It's basically a giving away the project. Even if I did hide it with an illusion, the intensity of the energy pouring out from the area will surely cause a disturbance. So that is why I put those pathetic humans to sleep. Rest assured, they will meet a similar end to you: death..." the Fallen Angel said with a cruel smile. Both Ragna and Allen narrowed their eyes at the enemy, while Terra just frowned.
"Oh boy...another killer on the loose. This makes it like...maybe the third or fourth one since I came here. Japan sure doesn't want to be boring..." Terra muttered, before he sighed. "So basically, we kick your ass and this whole ritual thing will end?" Terra asked with an indifferent tone.
"Ha! As if you could beat me, the son of Ananiel! And even if you by chance defeat me, the ritual is already complete! My two wielders surely must have be wielding those two holy weapons." Vroch said with arrogance. "Too bad you won't live enough to see what I'm about to do." the Fallen Angel said, as he raised his hands in the air. Soon, they saw the holy water around the area to float around him, and soon took shape of multiple weapons in the air.
"I honestly thought that killing you would be just a minor chore. But now...now this is going to be the most satisfying!" Vroch shouted, as he sent forth multiple water shaped weapons towards the trio. Terra sprung into action and slammed his hand on the ground.
"Earth Dragon's Protective Wall!" Terra summoned forth a large wal to protect them from the attack. He wasn't surprised when he saw large pressure hitting against his wall, and started to see cracks form because of it.
Seeing the battle beginning, Allen immediately sprung forth and his left arm suddenly glowed. "Cross activate!" Allen called forth, causing his entire left arm to glow and transform into a monstrous silver adamantine claw with a supernatural glow at Allen's scapula-joint. This caused the Fallen Angel to look a bit surprised upon seeing this.
"A Sacred Gear? And a holy one no less..." Vroch muttered with a slightly surprised tone. Allen closed in on the Fallen Angel and attempted to slash him with the large claw he has. The Fallen Angel reacted faster, as he formed a water barrier around him, shielding him from the attack.
"Don't think you can win boy!" Vroch exclaimed, as he then caused the water shield to expand around him outwards. Allen immediately shielded himself with his arm, successfully blocking the attack. The outward blast of water then hit the surrounding area, and the heavy pressure caused it to damage the surrounding area.
Ragna, seeing the flood of holy water gone from the ground, then sprung forth with his blade in hand. He then jumped upwards towards the Fallen Angel. "Inferno Divider!" Ragna slashed upwards with his Blood Scythe, but the Fallen Angel avoided the attack and pointed his attack at him.
"Get lost trash." Vroch simply said, as he blasted a powerful torrent of water towards him. Ragna's eyes widened when he saw the attack coming towards hi, but Terra came to his need.
"Earth Dragon's Sand Wall!" Terra casted forth a large wall of sand that came between both Ragna and the holy water, halting the attack. However, Terra acted on instinct as he immediately went in and pulled Ragna out of the way. Just as he did, the holy water easily bursted through the soaked sand barrier and barreled forth. Terra then turned his head towards the Fallen Angel.
"Roar of the Earth Dragon!" Terra then blasted out a beam of earthly destruction in his path, rapidly making its way towards the Fallen Angel. The Fallen Angel's eyes widened at the power of the attack, and barely had time to block himself with holy water before the earth crashed into him. He was sent hurling towards the ground while the force kept pushing him forward. As soon as the blast ended, dust flew everywhere while Terra, Ragna, and Allen watched their opponent to see if he is going to get up from it.
'Such power...! Is this the power of a Magician?' Allen thought in surprise. He immediately turned as the Fallen Angel picked himself up from the rubble, and proceeded to glare at the three.
"How dare you...How dare you make me go into the grounds, where I belong to the sky!" the Fallen Angel screamed furiously, as the water danced violently around him.
"He sure is pissed..." Terra muttered.
"No shit..." Ragna responded as he readied his blade.
(With the Others)
After explaining the situation, the others were immediately on the run towards the location, as they were all shocked to hear that this involved.
"I can't believe it...those two weapons are in the hands of the Fallen Angels?" Shiroe said while pushing up his glasses. "It seems we're in a more dire situation that we thought." Shiroe muttered.
"If that's the case..." Leone said, and turned to Griselda, who was running with them. "Why didn't the Church sent more of their Exorcist? You'd think they'd send more for this type of situation." Leone said.
"We wanted to be discreet about the situation. If we sent in more Exorcists, then there is a possibility the Fallen Angels can take this as a sign of war and use it against the Church, and the Angels to an extent. There is also the fact that we were originally sent here to investigate the situation, but it seems we are too late in stopping it." Griselda explained to them, causing Mittelt to groan.
"Uuuuh...what the hell is going on with the Grigori? It's going to hell...not that it's already in hell, but you know what I meant." Mittelt said with a deadpanned tone. Griselda merely raised an eyebrow at her.
"Normally, I find Fallen Angels preaching on about their kind being the greatest. You, on the other hand, sound like you have dealt with a lot of trouble with them." Griselda pointed out, causing Mittelt to scowl at this.
"Well yeah, considering that fact that I was being manipulated into some mission that almost got me killed. Thankfully, Terra was there to save me from trouble..." Mittelt said, as he lips formed into a small smile. Griselda raised an eyebrow upon the mention of his name.
"Terra? Who is that?" Griselda questioned. This time, Leone answered.
"Oh, he is a Magician who wields rather strong magic. He's also sort of the unannounced leader of the group, considering the fact that we have been following him." Leone explained nonchalantly, causing the Exorcist to turn to her in surprise.
"You three follow a Magician as your leader? That is quite surprising..." Griselda said to the three. It was then she saw the three form a small smile upon thinking about him.
"Let's just say that Terra came to our aid in our time of need, and we're thankful for that." Shiroe answered. Griselda didn't say anything, but she hummed in thought as she thought about Terra.
'Whoever he is, he must be a charismatic individual to have the three follow him.' Griselda thought to herself.
The four soon arrived at the sight, and their eyes widened in surprise as they found two particular people standing in front of source of the pillars of lights. The two of them were young men who both wore priest clothes. One of them had spiky brown hair, while the other had short black hair. When the two noticed their presence, the man with the short black hair sighed.
"It looks like we have company, and an Exorcist to boot..." the short black haired man sighed.
"Heh, it doesn't matter anyway. All we need to do is just take care of them." the man with the spiky brown hair said with a smirk. When the group saw them, Griselda frowned upon the sight.
"Well...I didn't expect two Stray Exorcists to join in on this plan." Griselda said, causing the others to slightly gasp at this.
"Stray Exorcists?" Mittelt muttered. It was then Griselda narrowed her eyes at him.
"I recognize you two. You are Eiji Natsuki." Griselda as she pointed to the spiky browned haired man, and then pointed to the man with short hair. "And you are Steven Copper. The two of you defected from the Church after your questionable acts, and you were to be arrested. However, you two escaped." Griselda said, causing Steven to sigh heavily at her.
"See, now there's the problem. The Church is always so hunky dory over this sort of thing. God is great and the all mighty. Yeah, I get it..." Steven said, before he groaned in annoyance. "Honestly, I don't care for the religion or God and his Angels. They can do whatever they want. And I mean literally what they want, while we humans just struggle while they watch." Steven said without any care. Griselda narrowed her eyes upon hearing those words.
"Those kinds of thoughts are usually blasphemy to the teachings, but it wouldn't' change a thing since I am here to stop you." Griselda said as she grabbed her weapon, which was bandaged behind her back. Steven just rolled his eyes at her.
"Oh yes, you are here on the word of God and all. Good for you..." Steven said with slight sarcasm. It was then Mittelt decided to speak up.
"Alright, what the hell is up with you?" Mittelt asked bluntly, causing Steven to blink at her.
"I beg your pardon?" Steven asked her. Mittelt just pointed at him.
"I've met a bunch of Stray Exorcist, but I've never seen them act like you. Usually, they rave on how God is dead to them and all that kinds of crap. But you...you sound like you want nothing to do with it." Mittelt pointed out. It was then Steven just chuckled at her.
"Geez, was that so obvious? Ah, no matter. I don't care anyway, cause you know why?" Steven started. "God. God this, and God that. It's always the Church that always keep preaching on about God and his Angels. That's it. They then make others believe in their beliefs, and those who don't are treated rather poorly. I mean come on, we all have different ideals and all, and to force people into it is just overkill. I honestly didn't care about God, and just focused on killing off the creatures that are a threat to humanity. But apparently, the Church frowned upon the creatures that could kill humanity, which was basically my job. " Steven said explained with a "I don't care" tone. But then Griselda spoke up.
"You have killed multiple creatures that weren't meant to be killed, and you have gone against multiple teachings of the Church that they forbid." Griselda pointed out. Steven just groaned at her.
"They were also potential creatures that hurt humanity. Seriously, it's like I killed humans from the way you talk. And for the record, I like to drink and gamble, big whoop. It's not like it is hurting the Church or anything. Sheesh..." Steven said while palming his face. Mittelt just frowned at him.
"Then why are you working with the Fallen Angels? Surely, you aware of the inhabitants of this town." Mittelt pointed out. It was then Griselda stayed silent, and watched the scene unfold if Mittelt truly relates to this project. It was then Eiji spoke up.
"Oh, they're just fast asleep. Not much of a crime while we work on this. By the way, I never noticed you during our project despite the fact that you're a Fallen Angel. Are you some new recruit or something?" Eiji asked with a raised eyebrow, causing the Exorcist to blink at this statement.
'Wait, does that mean...?' Griselda thought, as she gazed at Mittelt.
"Hell no! I'm here to stop this plan of yours!" Mittelt shouted as she produced a spear in her hands. Seeing this, Steven just sighed once more.
"It would seem like we have to fight. No matter. With the weapons that Kokabiel provided, we'll be sure to take out anyone who stands in our way." Steven said, and turned to Eiji.
"Is it ready?" Steven asked, with Eiji smirking as he nodded.
"Oh yeah. Kind of pissed you didn't include me in the conversation, as I was busy with the weapons themselves!" Eiji exclaimed annoyed, but then chuckled at the two pillars of lights.
"It doesn't matter now. Cause they're done...now!" Eiji exclaimed, as the pillars of light before the group finally started to die down, and then faded away. When the two lights faded away, it showed two weapons. One was a dagger a golden outline and golden hilt, while the other was a golden spear that radiated with light energy. When the group saw this, their eyes widened. Except for Griselda, who narrowed her eyes at the sight.
"This is not good..." Griselda said. "Those weapons have now gone through the ritual of being able to be wielded again, and I know for the fact that the two users have involved themselves with the ritual as well, making themselves compatible with them."
"...Well shit." Mittelt simply said, raising her weapon.
"Looks like we're not going to take the easy way..." Leone said, going onto her fours and ready to pounce.
"Everyone, be careful...those weapons before us are both Carnwennan and Rhongomiant, two of Arthurian weapons!" Shiroe exclaimed, as he pushed up his glasses.
"That's right kiddies! Now who is going to play with good ol' Rhon here?" Eiji exclaimed with a smirk, while Steven hmphed at this and readied the dagger in his hands.
"Don't get cocky Eiji. That attitude of yours is the reason why you got kicked out of Church." Steven told his companion, causing Eiji to scoff at him.
"Whatever man. It's not like they have anything to beat our weapons." Eiji smugly said, causing Griselda to simply smile upon this declaration.
"Oh really now? So you say that we can't beat you with those special weapons?" Griselda asked him, causing Eiji to scoff at her.
"Well yeah. What do you have you old hag? I bet those generic swords that they have at the Church." Eiji told her, causing Griselda to finally lift the bandaged weapon in her hand. It was then the bandages unfurled themselves off of the weapon, and revealed itself before them. It was an elegant long sword with blue and gold patterns in the center. It's hilt was shaped like a golden cross.
Griselda simply kept up her smile as she pointed her weapon at them.
"They may be impressive weapons, but let us see how you will stand up to my Excalibur Blessing!" Griselda exclaimed, as she charged in on the two.
(Terra and the Others)
"Earth Dragon's Protective Wall!" Terra slammed onto the ground once more, shielding themselves from a barrage of holy water. Both Allen and Ragna appeared on both sides of the wall, and readied their attack.
"Dead Spike!" Ragna swung his sword upward, summoning the head of a dark beast and rush towards the opponent.
"Cross Grave!" Allen gathered holy energy into the palm of his adamantine arm, and then swung a large stream of energy towards his opponent. Both attacks went in on the Fallen Angel, but their opponent raised both his arms.
"Drown and perish!" the Fallen Angel exclaimed, as a large stream of holy water was shot by him, colliding with the two attack. This resulted in a massive explosion going through the air. When the smoke cleared, the Fallen Angel closed in on them while summoning a Sword of Light into his hands.
"First I'll deal with you!" the Fallen Angel exclaimed, as he swung his Sword of Light towards Allen. However, Allen charged in on the Fallen Angel and extended his hand towards the incoming sword. When the two attacks collided, the Fallen Angel's eyes widened when Allen's claw just grabbed it. He wasn't able to move as Allen then crushed the sword in his hand with all his efforts, and then swung the giant arm to his body. The Fallen Angel grunted in pain as the attack collided with him, but he was still fine.
"Annoying little boy!" Vroch shouted in annoyance, as he formed a wave of water underneath him and sent it towards him. Allen attempted to block, but the force of the holy water pushed him away.
"Nrgh!" Allen grunted, trying to hold against the current. Before the Fallen Angel could gloat, Ragna charged in and his legs became clouded with energy.
"Gauntlet Hades!" Ragna performed a spinning downwards kick, to which the Fallen Angel blocked the attack by shielding himself with a bubble of holy water. When his foot crashed into the holy water, Ragna grunted in annoyance as he felt the water come into contact with his skin. It didn't hurt as much, considering he was a Damphir, but the weakness is still there in a small effect.
"Earth Dragon's Pillar!" Terra stomped onto the ground, summoning multiple pillars of earth and heading towards his opponent. The Fallen Angel was forced to dodge as he saw the multiple pillars of earth crash into each other. When he was in the air, Terra went forward.
"Yorokobi! I need some wings!" Terra exclaimed.
"You got it!" the Exceed cried out, as he summoned his wings and latched onto Terra. Terra then jumped off of the ground and soared through the air. Terra then charged back his fist.
"Earth Dragon's Jack Hamer!" Terra's arm became coated with stones, and a piston was formed at the end of his arm.
"Die!" Vroch cried out, as he had multiple spears of water form, along with Light Spears, materialize around him and shoot forth towards him. When Terra saw this, he simply summoned countered it with another spell
"While we're at it, Earth Dragon's Boulder Avalanche!" Terra then formed multiple magic circles near him, and multiple boulders shot forth and collided with each incoming attack, causing multiple explosions to fly everywhere. The Fallen Angel didn't see anything within the smoke, but he prepared himself as Terra charged forth with his jack hammer ready. The Fallen Angel then formed a bubble of holy water around him to shield himself once more.
The attacked collided, and caused the bubble to pop around him, much to the Fallen Angel's surprise.
"Impossible!" Vroch exclaimed, seeing his shield destroyed. "My water, destroyed by a mere Magician!?"
"You better believe it you son of a bitch! Belial Edge!" Ragna dove from the sky while his Blood Scythe was poised for the attack. At the same time, Allen appeared on the other side with his arm ready.
"Cross Beta!" Allen exclaimed, as his arm soon transformed into an arm-cannon. But the arm cannon morphed into a narrower hole, and a sharp energy sprouted out of it. "Cross Spear!" Allen thrusted forth the sharp energy towards Vroch. When the Vroch was caught between two attacks, he simply smirked.
"Fools! You fell into my trap!" Vroch exclaimed, a pillar of water bursted from the ground and underneath Terra. Terra's eyes widened when it rapidly came towards him.
"Earth Dragon's Sand Defense!" Terra summoned a large amount of sand to shield him, but the burst of water bursted through his shield. Narrowly, Terra rolled his body out of the way, but the blast of water hit his sides and sent him spinning away from the attack.
"Gah!" Terra grunted as he found his view spinning out of control. "Yorokobi! Gain some stability!" Terra exclaimed to his feline companion. The gray cat gritted its teeth as it did.
"I'm trying Terra!" Yorokobi said as he tried to regain stability.
Meanwhile, as Terra was sent flying away, both Allen and Ragna found themselves in trouble as the Fallen Angel summoned forth magic circles.
"You're trapped now!" Vroch exclaimed, as water chains came forth from the puddle on the ground and towards both Allen and Ragna while they were in the air. They couldn't dodge it, as they found themselves binded within the chains.
"Chains!?" Allen exlcaimed, as he tried to pry them off.
"Damn, this is annoying!" Ragna shouted while he also tried to get the chains off of him. Before the two could get them off, the Fallen Angel just went with his attack.
"Drown in my holy water, you pathetic creatures" Vroch laughed as water formed around the Exorcist and Damphir, and soon trapped them in a bubble of water.
""GAH!"" both of them gasped out as they found themselves in a tight pressure while they were being drowned by the water before them. They struggled, but the Fallen Angel simply laughed at them.
"Hahahaha! It's no use! Once you're trapped within it, you're dead from the start!" Vroch sneered at them while mockingly clapping them. "Hah! I knew from the start you couldn't stand up to me! So what a waste!" Vroch laughed arrogantly. As Terra gained stability in the air, his eyes widened when he saw the two of them in deep trouble.
"Ragna! Allen!" Terra cried out as he went into get them, but multiple pillars of water appeared around him, alarming Terra as it did.
"Hah, focus more on yourself boy! In a matter of moments, these two will drown while you helplessly watch!" Vroch laughed mockingly towards Terra, causing Terra to narrow his eyes at this.
"This is bad..." Terra muttered.
"AH!" cried out a voice. Terra's eyes widened, when he found Yorokobi snatched away from him while a chain dragged his feline friend away. He looked down at the ground, and found a chain dragging his friend down.
"Yorokobi!" Terra exclaimed, but soon had to summon a shield of earth as a pillar of water bent down and headed towards him. Terra gritted his teeth again the pressure, and saw Yorokobi chained to the ground.
"Terra! Help me!" Yorokobi cried out to Terra.
"Hold on buddy! I'll get you soon!" Terra exclaimed, but he kept hearing laughing.
"Hahahahaha! And how are you going to do that!? You're friends are trapped, and two of them are about to die! What are you going to do about it!? Huh!? You're helpless!" Vroch smirked victoriously.
It seemed like things were grim, but Terra's frown soon flipped into a grin.
"...Just kidding." Terra said with a smile, and roared as he channeled magic throughout the ground. Vroch's eyes widened at the large amount of magic coming from the ground, and soon noticed the ground underneath him changing. The ground soon transformed into a large amount of sand.
"What the-!?" the Fallen Angel was forced to dodge as multiple spears of sand sprouted from the ground. Then a large amount of sand then launched forth at the water towers, as the sand soon absorbed the moisture from the sand and sucked the pillars dry out of existence. The Fallen Angel turned to his captives, and his eyes widened further as hands extended forth and grabbed onto the bubble. The hands soon gripped, and the bubble popped, freeing the two from the trap. The sands hand then catched the two, and then dragged them to safety.
Terra simply kept up a smile while he raised his hands up into a fighting stance. "Did you really think I would let you have water just sprout from the ground for your advantage? News flash buddy, but I was busy converting the entire ground into sand for my advantage. And my sand is special, because they can rapidly absorb water while they're at it, making the place dry. I guess that little trap of yours didn't work..." Terra said with a small smirk, causing the Fallen Angel to shake in anger upon being tricked.
"Kuh...!" Vroch seethed in anger. "How dare you! How are you! How are you! You have tricked me!? A Fallen Angel of a high rank!? Unforgivable!" Vroch exclaimed out in anger. Terra shrugged off of the anger, and looked at the two soaked members.
"Hey, you guys okay?" Terra asked the two. Allen heavily coughed while spitting out water, before he shook his head.
"I-I'm fine..." Allen said while wincing. But he soon stood up with a strong stance. "I'm still ready to go!" Allen exclaimed.
Ragna, on the other hand, coughed heavily while he lied on the ground. When Terra saw this, he became alarmed and knelt down to him.
"Ragna! You okay!? Answer me buddy!" Terra said as he shook Ragna. Ragna coughed out some water while turning his head towards him.
"W-Why...the h-hell...did you take so long...?" Ragna coughed more water out of his mouth. "D-Damn, you could've executed the damn plan faster..." Ragna tried to muster a small smirk, but coughed violently, and then winced in pain. "GRH!" Ragna grunted heavily as he felt pain rush throughout his body.
"Ragna!" Terra exclaimed, but soon became alarmed as he sensed water forming around Vroch.
"Die you miserable mongrels!" Vroch shouted as he summoned forth a large amount of water above his head.
"This isn't good...!" Allen said alarmed. Terra then turned to Ragna.
"Crap! We've got to get you out of here!" Terra exclaimed.
"Too late! Now die!" Vroch cried out, as he was about to swing his arms downward at the trio.
Keyword: about
Before the Fallen Angel could swing down his arms, a pillar of light soon fell from the sky and pierced the water above Vroch. Before Vroch could register what was happening, he screamed in pain as a pillar of light engulfed him, and fell towards the ground and crashed.
Both Terra and Allen's eyes widened in surprise, before their ears heard a voice.
"Hmhmhm...it seems I'm late to the party..." a voice said, causing both Terra and Allen to turn their heads towards the voice. Their eyes soon spotted the figure in the sky.
The person was floating within the sky. The person appeared to be a young teenager. He wore buttoned light gray shirt, along with long gray pants. He wore white sneakers as well. He had very light-gray brownish hair. But the most interesting appearance about the young man before them...
Was that he had three pairs of pure white wings.
"An Angel...!" Allen whispered in surprise, causing Terra to blink at Allen.
"Angel...?" Terra said, before he blinked before the person before them. "...Oh wow. It's an Angel." Terra said with a simple tone. The young Angel chuckled at them, before he floated down to them.
"Why hello there. I hope I'm not too late at the party." the Angel said to them. This caused Allen to bow his head to the Angel in respect. When the Angel saw this, he merely chuckled.
"No need to bow to me, young Exorcist. It is the Angels that bow to you...for some reason. I'm not fully sure on the details, but I'll just follow along with it." the Angel said with a chuckle. Allen blinked at this, and raised his head.
"If you say so..." Allen said, before his eyes widened. "Wait! Why are you here Angel-san!?" Allen asked in surprise, causing the Angel to push the lock of his hair to the side.
"Oh, was I not invited to the party?" the Angel said with a pleasant smile, while holding a slight humorous tone. Allen sweatdropped at the Angel's attitude, before he shook his head. The Angel chuckled as he placed his arm on his hip.
"In any case, I was sent here on a mission to investigate this case as well. However, it seems that Tokyo is in danger, and my duty as an Angel must be attended." the Angel said, before turning to both Terra and Ragna, who was in his arms. When the Angel saw Ragna heavily injured, he merely raised an eyebrow.
"And what is this? I didn't know a Damphir would join in the fray as well..." the Angel said while raising his eyebrow in a curious matter. Terra's eyes widened in surprise as he heard the Angel say that.
"Wait...Ragna's a Damphir?" Terra said, turning to Ragna, who was still wincing in pain. "...Huh. Wonder why I never noticed..." Terra muttered with an absent tone, before he shook his head. He then turned to the Angel before him.
"Well, in any case, thanks. I need to get Ragna to safety. He's in critical danger right now." Terra said, lifting Ragna by hefting an arm over his shoulder. When Terra did this, the Angel blinked in surprise.
"Why would you do that? Clearly, you know that the person near you is a Damphir, and could possibly suck your blood." the Angel told him, but Terra shook his head. Ragna didn't pay attention as he was still writhing in pain.
"I don't care. He is my friend, and I'll do whatever it takes to protect them." Terra told then Angel with a resolute tone, causing the Angel to blink in surprise upon hearing his words.
"Despite knowing the risks, you're willing to make friends with him? I find that...confusing." the Angel said with a slightly surprised. Terra simply smirked at the Angel.
"Hey, a friend is a friend, and I'm willing to protect one. Speaking of which, you saved our hides back there, so you're a friend as well. Name is Terra Tachikaze, what is yours?" Terra casually said to the Angel, causing the Angel to blink more upon this, while Allen grew a bit nervous on the interaction between the two.
'He's treating the Angel like a regular person...!' Allen thought.
*BOOM*
An explosion occurred a bit from them, and they all turned to see the Fallen Angel Vroch rising from the ground again. He looked absolutely pissed upon this.
"You...!" Vroch seethed at the sight of the three, but more at the Angel. "You damn Angel! You dare stand in the Fallen Angels way!?" Vroch screamed furiously. All the Angel did was look intrigued by this.
"More like standing in your way. I'm not that foolish to stand against your entire race." the Angel said with a slightly cheeky tone.
"You still have the nerve to stand in my way!" Vroch exclaimed angrily. It was then the water violently danced around him. "It doesn't matter if there is this pesky sand around here, I'm going to wash you all away into the depths of despair! For I am Vroch, son of Ananiel!" Vroch yelled as he launched his attacks. However, the Angel simply kept up his smile.
"Interesting. However..." the Angel said, as he snapped his fingers. It was then multiple pillars of light fell from the sky and intercepted the incoming water blasts. When he finished blocking, the Angel still kept up a confident look. "...You're going to have to work harder to hit me." the Angel said.
Seeing that the battle is going to start again, Terra hefted Ragna over his shoulder and started to move.
"Sorry guys, but I'm going to take Ragna here to safety. Can you hold without me for a few minutes?" Terra asked the two. The Angel simply nodded at him, while Allen did the same.
"We'll be fine." Allen answered, before turning towards the Fallen Angel. He then became focused, and closed his eyes.
"For the sake of both Humans, Devils, and Fallen Angels, I will bring you all sanctuary!" Allen cried out, as his arm soon began to glow with a bright color. The bright light stopped the actions of others, and their eyes widened upon what was happening. Except for Terra, who looked at the scene with intrigue. Soon, he saw the arm transform.
"Balance Breaker: Crown Clown!" Allen cried out, as his adamantine arm soon transformed into a sleeker arm, and then morphed into a black arm with armor and razor shark claws. Then Allen gained a white hooded cowl and sleeve, along with a masquerade style mask attached. When the Fallen Angel and Angel saw this, their eyes widened in surprise.
"My my..." the Angel said with intrigue.
"Impossible!? You've unlocked Balance Breaker!?" Vroch screamed in surprise. It was then Allen pointed his claw towards Vroch.
"Crown Edge!" Allen then launched forth a barrage of crown shaped rings towards the opponent. The opponent's eyes widened and summoned a water barrier in front of him. But he struggled a bit as he was pushed back by the blast.
"I-Impossible! I'm being pushed back!?" Vroch screamed furiously. It was then the Angel snapped his finger once more, and a pillar of light fell from the sky once more. When the Fallen Angel saw this, his eyes widened and immediately formed a light spear to block the attack. His arm struggled under the blast, but the Fallen Angel still stood his ground. When the two were occupying the Fallen Angel, Allen turned to the two.
"Go! We can handle ourselves!" Allen told them. Terra nodded, and and began to carry Ragna away. However, the Angel decided to tell Terra something.
"By the way..." the Angel called out to Terra, causing Terra to stop a bit and turn his head towards the Angel.
"Yeah?" Terra asked. The Fallen Angel simply gave a small pleasant smile at him.
"...My name is Joshua. It's quite pleasant to meet you." Joshua said to Terra with his usual smile, before he turned and joined in on the fight with Allen. When Terra heard his name, he simply gave a small smile.
"Joshua, huh? Nice name." Terra said as he carried Ragna away.
(With the Others)
The other group were having their own intense fight as well, as they fought against the artificial users of Arthurian weapons. Griselda ended up fighting against Eiji alone, and the others knew that the powerful Exorcist was enough to stand up against him and his spear. Griselda gained more ground as she used Excalibur Blessings powers to booster her power even further, while also using it to weakened the heretic before her. Meanwhile, the trio fought Steven with Mittelt and Leone up front, while Shiroe stood back to support them.
Right now, the user of Carnwennan has used the power of the holy sword, and now delved himself into the shadows, hiding himself from the group's site.
"Damn, that's an annoying sword to fight..." Mittelt cursed under her breath as the user was nowhere to be seen. Leone, on the other hand, is using her senses and sejutsu to sense him.
"He's moving all over the place..." Leone muttered. Shiroe, on the other hand, pushed up his glasses.
"Everyone, keep your guard up. The moment he attacks is the moment he dives out of the shadows. Reflex Boost!" Shiroe's staff glowed, and a light showered over the two. When they received it, they felt their senses increasing.
Soon enough, they immediately dodged out of the way as a dagger popped out of the shadows and attempted to slash at them. When they did, Steven was a bit surprised to see how they've managed to dodge so easily.
"You've reacted faster than before..." Steven muttered. "How...?" Steven wondered a bit, before he had to block an incoming strike from her Mittelt's spear.
"Don't think you can hide forever you bitch!" Mittelt pushed her sword down further, however, the dagger of King Arthur was not to be underestimated. Steven merely grunted, and pushed the dagger forth as well, resulting in breaking her spear.
"Shit...!" Mittelt cursed when she saw her weapon break apart. Steven attempted to slash at her, but Leone sprung into action when she dropped from the sky and performed a diving kick. Steven immediately made his body roll away as he dodged the kick, resulting in a small crater to result from her drop kick. Steven jumped back to gain some distance, but Shiroe was already on the case.
"Astral Bind!" Shiroe casted forth multiple magical threats to wrap around the user's leg, limiting his movements. Steven gave a "tch" in annoyance, while Mittelt raised her hands in front of her.
"Thanks Shiroe, Leone. Now, Magic Wind Palm!" Mittelt's hands became encased with wind, and then clapped them together, forming a small tornado to form in front of her and head towards the user. However, Steven's dagger glowed and tendrils of shadow surrounded him, making him sink into the shadows. When this happened, Mittelt gave an annoyed frown.
"Oh damn it, he sinks into the shadows again..." Mittelt cursed underneath her breath.
"Well, we're gonna be ready for what is to come this time." Leone said as she pounded her fist together.
Shiroe, on the other hand, pushed up his glasses as he looked around the surroundings. Currently, he saw Griselda dueling with the Rhongomiant, and the two holy weapons flashed with intensity as the two weapons clashed against each other. Seeing this, Shiroe decided to lend in a lending hand.
"Keen Edge!" Shiroe's staff glowed once more, and a glow surrounded Griselda's sword. Griselda blinked in surprise, and turned to Shiroe. Shiroe simply nodded at her, and turned to focus on the fight.
"Well then...I better accept this gift then!" Griselda swung her Excalibur Blessing to the user, this time having a stronger impact this time.
"What the-!?" Eiji shouted, before he was sent flying back by the impact.
Shiroe knew that his support was good enough, and focused back on the fight against Steven. However, he saw Leone become alarmed by this, and immediately turn to him. It was then Leone immediately dashed towards him.
"Shiroe, move! He's moving towards you!" Leone exclaimed as she ran towards him. Shiroe didn't have enough time to react, as he looked down to see Steven popping out of the shadows and with the dagger ready to slash him. Shiroe's eyes widened at the upcoming attack, before he felt a force pushing him out of the way. His eyes saw that Leone pushed him out of the way of the attack, but she didn't have enough time as the her sides was deeply slashed by the dagger.
"GAH!" Leone shouted out in pain as she rolled on the ground in pain.
"Leone!" Mittelt cried out to her friend as she saw the youkai roll onto the floor. Leone gritted her teeth while she grabbed her sides in pain.
"Heh heh...don't worry, j-just a scratch..." Leone said, before she coughed up in blood.
"Leone!" Shiroe said, getting up and checking up on her. "This is bad...! She's badly wounded..." Shiroe said, before he reached into his bag and held a potion in his hand.
"Here." Shiroe held the bottle towards her while he held her up.
"I don't think so..." Steven said, as he went in on the two with his Arthurian dagger.
"Don't think so!" Mittelt yelled out as she created a spear in her hands, and then threw it towards the opponent. However, it didn't slow down the man as he deflected the spear. Shiroe narrowed his eyes as he put up his hand.
"Nightmare Sphere!" Shiroe casted forth a sphere, and the sphere expanded and surrounded the entire area, trapping the user in it. Steven's eyes widened when he felt his movements more sluggish, before he knelt on the ground while wincing.
"D-Damn, seems like I'm going to have to get out..." Steven said, before he sunk into the shadows. When this happened, Mittelt took the chance and checked up on Leone.
"Leone! You alright? No, scratch that, you're not alright!" Mittelt said as she looked at her injured friend. All Leone did was give a weak smile.
"D-Don't worry. I can recover rather fast thanks to senjutsu, and Shiroe's potions will help as well. But I can't really move much..." Leone said before she winced in pain. Mittelt scowled as she summoned another spear and turned around.
"Damn it, without your senses, we can't exactly have an advantage over our opponent." Mittelt muttered, before she scowled. She then walked forward cautiously while having her weapon ready. As she did, her eyes widened when she felt killing intent from her side. She also had a boost thanks to Shirou's Reflex Boost. Even so, it wasn't enough without Leone pointing out which way he is coming. She immediately leaned to the side to avoid getting stabbed by the dagger, but it managed to cut a bit of her shoulder.
"Gh!" Mittelt winced at the cut, but held her other hand forward. "Storm Shred!" Mittelt fired a barrage air slices towards Steven, but he held the dagger to defense and started to deflect her wind attacks. Mittelt looked annoyed before she raised her spear and threw it. It was a wasted attempt as Steven deflected the dagger as well, but Mittelt learned a thing or two from Terra and Shiroe.
When Shiroe saw this, he immediately knew what she was doing. He held out his hand towards the Fallen Angel. "Overunner!"
A glow appeared on Mittelt, before she gave a small smirk. She then dashed forward at a more faster speed, something that surprised the Stray Exorcist. She then formed a Sword of Light into her hands, though it took soon difficulty in doing so, but she formed it when she put all of her effort into it. She then swung her sword down on the Stray Exorcist, who managed to block the attack as well.
"Hoh...so you've managed to form a sword...not that many angels or Fallen Angels achieve that, you know?" Steven pointed out, but Mittelt just ignored him as she gritted her teeth while she tried to put more force.
"Unfortunately..." Steven sighed, as he pushed forward, and then proceeded to break apart Mittelt's sword, causing the Fallen Angel to gasp at this. "It stands nothing to the legendary dagger..." Steven said, as as attempted to slash her. Her eyes widened when she saw the attack coming.
"Thorn Bind Hostage!" Shiroe swiftly casted forth another spell, this time causing throne to wrap around Steven and immobilizing him for a bit. However, the vines didn't stop him from hitting the target. The thorns took the sword off its accuracy, but it did leave a cut across Mittelt's chest.
"GAH!" Mittelt screamed in pain as she felt the intensity from the holy sword, and fell back and rolled to the ground. She clutched her chest while she staggered up.
"D-Damn it..." Mittelt cursed, before she coughed up blood. She held forth her hand. "At least...let me get a shot at you! Storm Shred!" Mittelt's state only lead her to summon one blade of wind, but it was enough. The blade soared through the air, and managed to cut one of the vines. When this happened, Steven's eyes went to the cut vine.
"Huh...? What was...AHHH!" Steven screamed in pain as an explosion of energy engulfed him. He collapsed onto his knee, and coughed up blood. "L-Looks like you got me...time to hide..." Steven managed to say, before using the sword's power to sink into the shadows once more. When that happened, Mittelt scowled while wincing in pain.
"There he goes again with the shadows...shit!" Mittelt cussed once more, before collapsing onto her knee. "I guess it isn't an Arthurian weapon for nothing...but still..." Mittelt panted, as she looked at her surroundings. Leone was injured and cannot move, Shiroe was fine, but he was open to danger any time soon. Meanwhile, she's just a standing target. When she realized her situation, her expression darkened while she gritted her teeth.
"Damn it...damn it...damn it..." Mittelt repeated under her breath. "...Is it going to be like last time, where I'm helpless once more...!?" Mittelt said while glaring at herself. "Am I just going to be helpless once more to help them and myself...again...again!?" Mittelt muttered to herself as she clenched her fist tightly. However, Shiroe was there and saw her dilemma.
"Mittelt! Don't give up! We can still change this!" Shiroe called out to her, causing Mittelt to snap out of it and turn to him.
"W-What...?" Mittelt stuttered in surprise. Shiroe nodded at her, and raised his hand.
"Don't give up hope yet Mittet. We still have one more plan we have, but this is all or nothing. I'm going to need you to trust me on this!" Shiroe told her, causing Mittelt's eyes to widened at this.
"Are you sure!? But I...!" Mittelt said, but Shiroe shook his head at her.
"No, you're going to be fine. I have the spell ready to go, so get ready!" Shiroe told her, as he raised his staff. His staff then glowed with intensity. "Here we go! "Infinity Force!" Shiroe exclaimed, a bright light came forth from his staff and came onto Mittelt. Her eyes widened when she saw herself glow with golden energy.
"Wha...!?" Mittelt gasped in surprise as she felt an enormous amount of energy pour and circulate through her. Shiroe breathed a bit heavily, and collapsed onto his knees while he used his staff to just be straight.
"...That spell took all of my energy. Now it's time for you to use your most powerful spell..." Shiroe told her with a tired tone, causing Mittelt's eyes to widened.
"Wait, so that spell was meant to...!" Mittelt asked in surprise, causing the Half-God to nod at her.
"It is. Go!" Shiroe exclaimed, gesturing Mittelt to her hiding opponent. Mittlet nodded at him, and raised her arms forth. She slowly made herself stand up, staggering while in the process, but she stood straight up.
"Alright...let's give this a shot!" Mittelt said, as she summoned a magic circle in front of her. "Time to take you out of hiding you bastard! Storm Bringer!" Mittelt screamed as she unleashed all of her magic.
It was then an intense tornado started to form around the area, and kept growing more violent and violent. In fact, the winds soon began to pick the ground off one by one, and soon, the entire ground they were standing on broke apart and was lifted up into the air. In one particular piece of the ground, a user fell out of it.
"What the-!?" Steven exclaimed as he was flying through the air. When Mittelt saw this, all she did was summon a Spear of Light into her hand.
"Found you! Now eat this you son of a damn bitch!" Mittelt threw the spear with all of her strength, causing the spear to soar through the air fast and towards the user. Steven's eyes widened at the incoming projectile, and didn't have enough time to block as the spear pierced through his abdomen.
"GAH!" Steven screamed in pain while he coughed up blood. The tornado soon died down, and everything in the air fell down to the ground, including the user of Carnwennan. Mittelt breathed heavily, before her legs gave out and collapsed onto the ground.
"*Pant*...*pant*...*pant*..." Mittelt breathed heavily as she watched the fight end, before she gave one final breath. "...Finally. That's done." Mittelt breathed out.
"GAH!" screamed out a voice. Mittelt blinked, and turned to see Griselda standing over her opponent with her Excalibur Blessing finishing its slash on the user, along with Eiji lying on the ground with a deep gash on his chest. Griselda then flicked the blood off her sword, and looked down at the opponent.
"Impressive skills, but you lack experience in wielding such a weapon." Griselda told the man lying on the ground, who couldn't give any response, considering the fact that he is dead. When she turned to the trio, she merely raised an eyebrow.
"It seems you have finished your work as well, judging by your states..." Griselda commented, as the saw the three's condition. Mittelt sat on the ground exhausted, Leone lied on the ground while wounded, and Shiroe was kneeling on the ground in a tired state. Mittelt gave a tired smile towards the Exorcist.
"You don't say..." Mittelt said tiredly, before she fell back from exhaustion and her wounds.
(With Terra)
Terra blinked at the large tornado that formed somewhere around Tokyo, before he shrugged and laid Ragna against the tree. "Huh, things sure are hectic for them..." Terra commented. He then looked at Ragna's state, and frowned. Ragna's body was slightly pale than the last time he saw him back at Tsuruga, and the Holy Water must've gotten to the vampire
"Huh...I never knew you were a vampire..." Terra commented, while Ragna grunted at him.
"More of a Damphir...but who's paying attention to the details..." Ragna quietly said, before he coughed out more Holy Water out of him. "Shit...even though I'm a Damphir, the effects are still there..." Ragna muttered, before wincing in pain. When Terra checked Ragna's condition, he simply lied Ragna on the ground.
"Alright Ragna. It's time to push out the Holy Water out of you..." Terra said, placing his hands on Ragna's body.
"A-And how exactly a-are you going to-PHOOOOOO!" Ragna couldn't finished his sentence, as Terra pushed full force onto Ragna's body, literally pumping out the water out of his mouth. When Ragna spouted out all of the water out of his body, he coughed heavily while glaring at Terra.
"A-Are you crazy!? *COUGH* You've could've killed me with that!" Ragna complained, before he coughed more due to the after effects. Terra simply shrugged.
"It's either that or have the Holy Water linger within you. So you feel any better?" Terra asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Ragna to stop coughing for a bit while he slowly made himself sit up.
"I-I think I'll manage..." Ragna grunted. He was about to get up, but his eyes widened when he felt a familiar feeling within him, and it was stronger than before.
"MMMHH!" Ragna immediately had his mouth clamped with his hand, and his body looked like he was trying to hold back something. When Terra and Yorokobi saw this, their eyes widened at this state.
""Ragna!"" both Terra and Yorokobi exclaimed,
"Ragna! You okay?!" Terra asked the Damphir as he tried to get closer to him, but Ragna's hand pushed him away.
"Stay back! I don't need you near me when I'm like this...!" Ragna managed to say, before he held his mouth. He slightly dropped his arm, and Terra's eyes soon saw Ragna's condition. He saw sharp fangs on Ragna, and it looked rather needy. When Terra saw this, and the fact that Ragna was a vampire, he suddenly knew what was going on.
"I get it...you need blood!" Terra said with slight surprise, causing Ragna to look at him with annoyance as he clutched onto his mouth.
"Y-Yeah, that annoying trait." Ragna said with annoyance, before we went back to struggling with his blood craves. This caused Terra to frown upon this.
"I'm not really sure what's going on, but it looks like you really need blood." Terra commented.
"I don't care...!" Ragna muffled through is mouth, before pointing. "G-Go! I'll handle things from here! Just go!" Ragna tried to tell Terra to move, but he didn't budge an inch. When Terra saw Ragna's dire situation, he summoned a sharp rock in his hands. He then slit his hand, causing blood to leak from it. He then held his bloody hand towards Ragna, causing Ragna's eyes to widened at the sight of Terra's blood. When the scent of blood entered into Ragna's nose, his senses went wild and it became harder and harder to suppress the feeling.
"Drink." Terra said, holding out his hand to Ragna.
"W-What!?"
"Drink. You need blood, right?" Terra asked, causing Ragna to scowl while pushing his hand away.
"Y-You idiot! I don't need your blood! I-I'm perfectly...!" Ragna tried to reject, before he clutched his mouth as he felt the urges getting stronger.
"You suck at making excuses, you know?" Terra told him with deadpanned tone.
"P-Piss off!" Ragna growled even further as he tried to hold in the urge. However, Terra simply sighed while he raised his hands.
"Guess we're doing this the hard way then..." Terra said, and then proceeded to jab his thumb into Ragna's side deeply, causing Ragna to yelp in pain while opening his mouth. It was then Terra proceeded to slam his hand onto Ragna's mouth, pouring blood and going down Ragna's throat. Ragna's eyes widened when he felt blood go down his throat, and his pupils dilated when he felt a strange feeling in him.
*PULSE* *PULSE* *PULSE*
"MH!?" Ragna then felt a large pulse of energy within resonate. Terra and Yorokobi backed away as a dark aura exploded from Ragna, while Ragna silently sat there. They watched as the dark aura dance around Ragna, and surges of energy just fluctuated around him. The dark aura didn't last out too long, as it soon receded and faded away into Ragna.
Ragna silently sat there, with both Terra and Yorokobi watching. It was then they heard ruffling noises from Ragna, and soon saw Ragna make himself stand up, though at a slow pace. When he fully stood up, he looked at his body and his yes widened in surprise. Terra was also surprised to see how his blood managed to make Ragna recover so fast.
"Huh, so that's why vampires need blood, cause it apparently do this..." Terra said while he folded his arms. When Ragna looked at himself, and felt way better than he did in the past few years, he gave a small breath and looked towards Terra.
"You know, I should be pissed by the fact that you forced fed me your blood." Ragna stated with a slightly irritated and flat tone, causing Terra to grin at him.
"But it did make you better, didn't it?" Terra pointed out. Ragna's mouth went open to argue, but he froze when he released what Terra said. A short moment after, he just grumbled while folding his arms.
"Yeah, it did." Ragna said with an irked tone, before he flexed his hand to see his strength. When he checked his condition, he felt a lot stronger than before, and no longer felt like there was any heavy weight the he felt onto him. When he finished checking his condition, he turned to Terra. A short moment of silence passed between them, before Ragna gave a defeated smirk towards Terra.
"...Thanks. I guess I owe you one for what you did. I didn't really need it, but I guess I'll take it." Ragna said with a small smirk, causing Terra to nod at him.
"No problem. Now, let's go kick some ass, shall we?" Terra said, gesturing to the fight. When Ragna turned his head, all he saw was light flashing here and there, while water was splashing around.
All Ragna did was pick up his sword while giving a smirk.
"Let's kick some ass."
(With Allen, Joshua, and Vroch)
The Exorcist and Angel were managing to stand their grounds as they fought the Fallen Angel. Despite Joshua lacking a wing compared to Vroch, he seems to be capable of keeping up. Meanwhile, Allen in his Balance Breaker state was keeping up just fine with his Crown Clown, and hasn't given up on the offense against the Fallen Angel.
"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! Why won't you die!?" Vroch screamed furiously, having wave after wave of water just barrage them. Joshua simply kept evading them while summoning his pillars of lights to shield himself, while Allen's Crown Clown kept shielding and deflecting the holy water coming towards him. Allen then charged in on the Fallen Angel. He jumped forth and slashed his way through the blast of water, and made himself close enough to hit the Fallen Angel. Vroch summoned a sword to block and intercepted the slash from Allen. However, he struggled against the force of the attack.
"Impossible! A human, making me struggle!?" Vroch exclaimed, before he felt a web tangle around him. He then saw the white cowl on Allen extend with bright energy threats and immobilize him. His eyes widened even further when Joshua simply floated in the air while his hand was in snapping position.
"Good job. You made him an easy target..." Joshua said with his usual expression, before he shaped his fingers. A pillar of light enveloped the Fallen Angel, making Vroch scream out in pain.
"AAAAHHH!" Vroch screamed, before he glared and kicked Allen off of him while surrounding his body in water to wash off the webs. His entire body was filled with burnt marks from the energy attacks from Joshua already, but he didn't struggle in the slightest. Instead, he just stood up defiantly and was ready to fight back and kill.
"I won't allow it! I won't allow this! I won't! I am the son of the Fallen Angel Ananiel! I won't allow some pathetic exorcist and Angel beat me!" Vroch screamed furiously.
"And I'm getting damn tired of your rant already! So shut the hell up!" shouted an irritated voice. Before the group could register where the voice came from, a blur past between Joshua and Allen, and closed in on Vroch. The two then heard a crackling nose, and found Ragna planting his fist deep into Vroch's face. He then sent the Fallen Angel flying backwards and crashing into the ground. Ragna landed on the ground, and grunted in annoyance.
"I swear, he loves to hear himself talk. Just like Rabbit..." Ragna muttered with an annoyed tone. Both Allen and Joshua looked surprise by the comeback of Ragna, and his strength, and Terra just dropped from the sky and landed between the two.
"So what did I miss?" Terra casually asked the two, causing the Angel to look at him with amusement while Allen turned to him in surprise for arriving quicker than he expected.
"Well, you didn't miss much..." Joshua casually said, as he swept his hair. "Other than fighting the Son of Ananiel here, nothing much changed. Though, I'm a bit surprised to see the Damphir here recover so quickly. I wonder how..." Joshua said with an intrigued tone.
"Oh, I gave him my blood." Terra answered with a straight face, which actually caused Joshua to pause upon hearing this. He stayed silent a bit, before he examined Terra's neck.
"...I don't see any puncture holes." Joshua pointed out, causing Terra to raise his cut hand. Joshua just blinked more at this.
"You cut your hand to feed him blood? Why is that?" Joshua asked.
"Well, I'm not really interested with the whole turning into a vampire if I'm bit by Ragna, so I just went with the alternative." Terra answered, causing Joshua to fold his arms upon the answer.
"But Terra, you don't actually turn into a Vampire when you're bit alone. The Vampire him or herself must inject some of their blood into you in order to make you into a vampire." Joshua explained to Terra, causing the young man to blink upon this revelation.
"...Huh. Damn, my knowledge on vampires is completely wrong..." Terra muttered while scratching the back of his head.
"U-Um, I don't mean to interrupt, but we have a Fallen Angel at hand..." Allen pointed out while sweat dropping at seeing their interaction.
"Oh, right. Him." Terra said with a plain tone.
"Ah, it seems our conversation made us lose focus. Our apologies." Joshua said while looking very casual about this.
'What kind of Angel are you...?' Allen thought with a heavy sweat drop.
*Rumble*
The four soon heard rubble moving around, and an explosion of holy water splashed everywhere. Vroch soon stood up, and glared absolute hatred at the front.
"...You don't know when to die, do you!?" Vroch said with a pissed tone, as he summoned two Swords of Light into his hands, while the water danced violent around him once more, but this time, it was at a bigger scale that towered over them.
"Fine. Be grateful that I'm unleashing all of my powers insects! Cause this magnificent power will be the last-!" Vroch said arrogantly, but Terra just sprung forward.
"Alright, you're awesome! We get it! Now let's kick your ass!" Terra said, charging up magic into his mouth. "Roar of the Earth Dragon!" Terra breathed out a larger beam of earth towards Vroch, causing the Fallen Angel to laugh as a large amount of Holy Water intercepted the blast.
"Ha ha ha ha! That all you got brat!?" Vroch mocked.
"Actually, it's doing an effect alright." Terra answered, before Vroch eye's widened upon realizing what was happening. He looked at his shield, and his water protection was being drained away by the magic sand that Terra put into the roar, draining and absorbing the shield he had.
"Impressive powers...now let me lend a hand." Joshua said with an impressed tone, as he snapped his fingers. Multiple twinned appeared in the sky, before multiple pillars of lights headed down towards Vroch. Vroch's eyes widened when he saw the incoming lights.
"Like hell!" Vroch yelled as he threw two of his swords towards two of the incoming lights, while forming a trident made out water and sending it towards the third. He then followed it up with large bullets of water intercepting towards it.
Before he could feel success on blocking it, he felt a tug on his leg, and looked down to see Allen's white thread pulling down of him. Before he could react, he was yanked down by such a powerful force and headed towards the ground.
"Let go of me, you impudent worm!" Vroch struggled to get out of the threat, and even summoned a spear to cut it off. However, the holy properties of Allen's cowl made it resistant to the cuts. It was then Ragna sprung into action. Using his stronger state, Ragna took off at a more faster speed, immediately closing in the distance between him and the Fallen Angel.
"Alright, you son of a bitch! Let's see you deal with this! Hell's Fang!" Ragna planted a energy coated fist deep into the Fallen Angel's cut, causing the Fallen Angel to cough up blood. Ragna roared as he sent forth the second punch, this time causing an explosion of darkness to erupt from the second punch, sending Vroch to flying into the air. "Gaunlet Hades!" Ragna spun in the air and performed a spinning kick coated with dark energy into the Vroch's jaw, and then spun in the air to launch a downward heel kick with his other arm. "Inferno Divider!" Ragna jumped off the ground and performed an upward slash on the opponent, leaving a deep gash on the Fallen Angel's chest. He then used an energy burst to propel himself then spun in the air, and deliver a drop kick right to Vroch's head, sending the man flying towards the ground.
"Terra! It's all yours!" Ragna called out to Terra, who stood there with a grin.
"With pleasure!" Terra said a confident tone. It was then Terra glowed with intense energy, and a magic circle appeared underneath him and in front of him. The power was intense, and shook the very earth around him. Joshua, despite being in the air, felt the vibrations that was coming.
"What it this power...such intensity...is this what Father considered human potential...?" Joshua said with slight awe as he looked upon the power that Terra released. Allen looked surprised at the power as well, and took a step back. It was then Terra put his hands forth.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Desert la Spada!" Terra unleashed an intense barrage of sand towards his opponent, which took form of fan-shaped edges. The blades of sand rapidly flew towards his opponent, decimating and taking out anything in its way. It easily tore through Vroch's water barriers, and headed towards the son of Ananiel.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Vroch screamed as he was engulfed by the sand. The sand soon flooded the battle grounds they were in, overtaking whatever holy water that was left excess in the area. Ragna, Allen, Yorokobi, and Joshua had to shield themselves from the blasts of the attack, as sand was sent flying everywhere. When the explosion ended, they lowered their arms to see the results. Their eyes widened at it.
The whole area they are in is buried in sand. Trees were sticking out of the sand, and wreckage was scattered everywhere. Not a single amount of moisture can be spotted, making the whole park they fought in look like a desert. The exorcist, Damphir, and Angel looked at the whole area in shock, as they never knew the kind of effect it would have.
As for Vroch, his body was buried within the ground while his arm was sticking out for survival. Unfortunately for him, that attacked utterly defeated him.
Ragna, Allen, and Joshua silently looked towards Terra with widened eyes, while Terra stood there with a sheepish look on his face while scratching the back of his head.
"Whoops...I forgot it has that sort of effect." Terra said with a smile.
(On top of a building)
"My my, it seems that they've defeated the son of Ananiel and two users of Arthurian weapons, despite them being artificial. Truly a worthy spectacle to behold..." Rachel commented, as she sat on a chair, along with a table made to hold tea. It was then her tea was filled by a man who stood near her. He is an elderly man who wears a dark, aquamarine suit adorned with gold trimming. His long, white hair is tied in a ponytail at the back.
"Quite, Madam Rachel. It was truly a rare spectacle to find." the butler agreed.
"Yes. This show was quite special indeed, and the timing for tea was perfect. It is indeed splendid tea to drink." Rachel said elegantly as she sipped her tea.
"I live to serve, Madam Rachel." the elder man said with a graceful smile. Rachel then turned her head towards a person near her.
"What are you thoughts Jubei?" Rachel asked the person standing next to her. It wasn't a person, but it was more of an animal. Jubei had two tails, one black and one white. He was able to stand up on his hind legs like a human. He wears a jacket similar to the Kaka clan's jacket, but with an Eastern motif and a cut in the back where his two tails poke out. He also wears an eyepatch on his right eye.
This was Jubei, a nekomata and a close friend of Rachel's late father.
"*Chuckle*...Well, I can tell ya one thing. It sure isn't boring when Ragna is around, but this type of event takes the cake. In all my years, I didn't expect Ragna to fight against the son of Ananiel, albeit with some help. But hey, it doesn't hurt to have help once in a while..." Jubei said with a smile. "And I'm glad to see that Ragna here finally drank some blood and recovered so fast." Jubei commented.
"That blood that he drank was quite special Jubei, as no other common blood can have that type of effect." Rachel corrected, causing Jubei to turn to her with a raised eyebrow.
"Really now?" Jubei said with an interested tone. Rachel graciously sipped her tea for a moment, before she set it down.
"Vampires gain their strength from blood. The stronger the blood, the stronger we get. The boy's blood was special you see, as it had the draconic element within it. Dragons are known for their large masses of energy. So imagine Ragna just taking that in..." Rachel explained to the Nekomata, causing Jubei to go "oh" upon this.
"Ah, I get it. Hah, it seems like Ragna's first time for blood turns out to be a dragon. Pretty soon, he'll be drinking the blood of a God. Ain't that going to be a kicker..." Jubei said while chuckling.
"Well, the possibilities are endless..." Rachel commented, before her eyes turned to a figure standing in the shadows.
"Your thoughts, Mr. Dragon?" Rachel asked the figure hidden within the shadows. The figure just gave a gruff noise, before the figure scratched the back of its head.
"Will ya quit calling me that? I'm not exactly a dragon you know" the figure with a deep male voice said. He sighed before he lied against the wall. "Anyways, the kid is impressive as always, and strong whenever he wants to be. Hell, I even heard rumors of that Bael heir actually collapsing onto his knee after some unknown fight." the figure commented, before he sighed and shook his head.
"Though, he's still green. He as a long way till he is considered strong. But for now, I gotta guide the boy to the right places. It's something my gut tells me." the figure said with a final tone.
"I see..." Rachel said, before she took one final sip of her tea. "Well then, let's simply sit back and watch the story write itself more chapters, while we simply guide the characters through it."
Spell Lists (New)
Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Desert la Spada! - One of Terra's Dragon Slayer Secret Art moves. I basically copied this from One Piece if you guys didn't know. The name of the move is the same Crocodile (one piece) used. Terra uses multiple blades of sands and sends them towards his opponent. Considering that his Dragon Slayer Magic is stronger than regular magic, this move is more destructive and stronger than canon One Piece.
Infinity Force! - The most powerful support spell within Shiroe's arsenal. This spell basically releases the limiters of the person and grants them unlimited use of magic power. This spell makes the target glow in a shining light, kind of like making the person go into "Super Mode". However, this spell is so powerful, that when it is used, it brings heavy fatigue to both user and target, thus making this move a trump and last resort move.
Storm Bringer - Took this spell from Fairy Tail. This basically allows the user to summon a large tornado that will basically does what a tornado does, but at a more powerful level.
Storm Shred - Took this spell from Fairy Tail. This spell allows the user to short forth multiple wind blades.
Magic Wind Palm - Took this spell from Fairy Tail. The user gathers wind on their hands, and them claps them to summon a tornado.
Cross Grave! - Allen's move. Allen uses a stream of holy energy to attack.
Cross Beta! - Allen changes his arm into an arm-cannon, able to shoot projectiles.
Cross Spear! - Allen changes Cross Beta into a laser sword.
Balance Breaker: Crown Clown! - Allen's Balance Breaker in the DxD world. This basically makes him stronger, and gives him a black and sleek arm with armor, while giving him a white cowl made of holy energy.
Crown Edge! - Allen shoots a barrage of crown ring energy towards his opponent.
Reflex Boost! - A support spell of Shiroe, and the spell basically improves the reflexes of the target.
FINALLY DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER!
Let me get this off my chest, and say I'm finally done after so much struggles of writing the chapter. But I gotta say, it was rather fun as I wrote through it. Plus, laziness got in the way. Tee hee...
Anyways, I'm going to wrap up the Tokyo Arc next chapter. Don't expect any action though.
(The Fallen Angel Plan)
I originally planned out Stray Devils to be used within this arc, and them being quite major. However, I didn't want to recycle the previous idea from last arc, so I decided to replace them with Fallen Angels instead. And after experiencing some Excalibur action from High School DxD anime, light novel, and Excalibur from Fate/Stay night, I've decided to set up an arc based around Arthurian weapons.
When DxD introduced the Arthurian Weapons, I felt impressed and entertained to introduce such a thing. Excalibur and Caliburn sure made their appearance, but there was one thing that bugged me.
What about Carnwennan and Rhongomiant? They never really had the chance to shine. So I just went with it.
(Griselda and Joshua's Arrival)
If you guys played the game of The World Ends With You, then you know who Joshua is.
To be perfectly honest, I had a hard time to find an anime/manga/game character who resembled an Angel, or angelic powers (Run from Akame Ga Kill doesn't count, considering that face that I'm using an Akame Ga Kill character already). So lo and behold when I was playing Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and found Joshua to just sprout out angelic wings and fly away.
And I thought to my self, why the hell not? I honestly enjoyed Joshua's character, with his mysterious and slightly snobbish attitude. But that's what honestly made me love him (no homo). So...there.
I've also decided to include Griselda Quarta as well, because again like Sairaorg, she never had that much time to be shown, much less her combat abilities. So here I thought, why not have Griselda use Excalibur Blessing. That's the only Excalibur that didn't really show its sword form. Rather, it was inducted into Durandal to power up Xenovia. I've always wondered what happened to Excalibur Blessing. Was it ever used before it was combined? So I just decided to write that. Win-Win.
(Interesting Fact)
Ananiel is actually a Fallen Angel mentioned in the Bible itself, as Ananiel is the "Rain of God". Seeing the title, I based his powers off of holy water manipulation. Plus, I've decided to go with son instead of Ananiel himself because there is a possibility that Ananiel is still part of the Grigori.
