Heres the 26th chapter enjoy :)
"Rias-senpai. We have covered the school with a large barrier. With this, unless something disastrous happens, there will be no damage outside."
Saji reported the current situation to Rias.
"This is to keep it to the minimum. To tell you the truth, if Kokabiel were to fight seriously, not only this academy, but the whole region would be annihilated. Adding to that, he has already gotten ready for that. My servant has seen him releasing his power at the school grounds."
"My servants and I will continue to place the barrier to reduce the damages. I want to minimise the damages as much as possible… It's hard to prevent having our school getting damaged. But it looks like we have to since it's the leader of the fallen-angels who is moving."
Kaichou made a sharp eye and looked in the direction of the school with eyes filled with hatred. She was probably directing it to Kokabiel. Then it was confirmed that the school would get damaged.
"Thank you, Sona. We will do the rest from here."
"Rias. Our enemy is a monster with strength above ours. It's still not too late. We should get your Oni-sama…"
Rias shook her head.
"You also didn't call your Onee-sama."
"My Onee-sama is… Your Oni-sama loves you. Sirzechs-sama will definitely move. So…"
"I have already informed Sirzechs-sama."
Akeno said it over Buchou and Kaichou's words.
"Akeno!"
Akeno criticised. But Akeno had an angry expression.
"Rias. I know that you don't want to cause problems for Sirzechs-sama. It happened in your territory. In your base. And it happened after the family problem. But it's a different story if the leader of the enemy appears. It is a problem that surpasses the level that you can solve. Let's borrow the strength of a Maou."
"Thank you for understanding the situation, Buchou. Sona-sama. Sirzechs-sama's reinforcement will be here in one hour."
"One hour… I understand. In that time, we, the student council, will vow to continue to place the barriers in the name of Sitri."
Rias seemed like she had made her decision as well after hearing Souna's decision.
"…So one hour. Now my servants. We will be on the offensive. We will go inside the barrier and draw Kokabiel's attention. Unlike the battle against Phenex, this is a battle of life and death! Even so, I will not forgive you if you die! We will survive and continue to attend that school!"
[Yes!]
They replied to her with energetic voices!
"Hyoudou! I will leave the rest to you."
"I know that, Saji. You should worry about the damages on your ass."
"Don't say that! It feels like it will hurt even more if you say that! How about your ass?"
Ngggh! My ass started to hurt after he said that!
"Fufufu. Buchou's love certainly hurts. Well the situation right now is the same as having our asses on fire."
"No, no. I can't laugh at that. So Kiba and Sempai aren't here yet?"
"Yeah. I believe that they're is safe."
"Yeah. I also believe in them as well."
Saji and Issei put their fist together and prayed for their missions.
Issei started to have doubts about the upcoming fight that awaits them.
[Leave it to me, partner. Our opponent is Kokabiel. He's not an insufficient opponent. Let's show him.]
"Yeah, Ddraig. We will show him. The power of the dragon that picked a fight with God and Maou."
They went in straight from the main gate. The moment I entered, I used promotion to promote from "Pawn" to "Queen" so my power increased. My "Queen" was still weak compared to Akeno-san because I had only been a devil for a short-time.
In the middle of the school field, there were four swords that were releasing extreme lights while floating. Having the swords at the center, there was a suspicious looking magic circle spread in the whole school field. There was an old-man located in the middle of the magic circle. Balba Galilei? That geezer. What was he planning to do by using the magic circle?
"What is this…?"
"I'm going to make the four Excaliburs into one."
Balba said it as if he found it amusing.
"Balba. How much longer will it take for the Excaliburs to merge?"
"…!"
There was a voice from up in the sky! When all of the club members looked up, there was Kokabiel who had the moon as a background. He was sitting on a chair up in the sky while looking down on them.
"It won't even take 5 minutes, Kokabiel."
"Is that so. I will leave it to you."
Kokabiel moved his eyes from Balba to Rias.
"Is Sirzechs coming? Or is it Serafall?"
"In the places of Oni-sama and Leviathan-sama, we…"
SWISH! BANNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!
With the sound of the wind. The gym was obliterated where it stood.
[Are you scared partner?]
"Of course I would get scared after seeing that! It was not a matter of being beyond us! It was totally on a different level to us!"
[Yeah. It's on a different level. He is so strong that his name has been recorded in the bible since ancient times. He is the one who survived the battle against God and the past Maou.]
"Can we win? Can I beat him?"
[If it becomes serious, I will beat him even if I have to turn most of your body into a dragon. Even if you can't beat him, I will give him damage that will freeze him for an hour. You can leave the rest to the Maou.]
Now. I will have you all fight my pet that I brought from hell." Kokabiel said as he summoned multiple Cerberuses.
…Cerberus!"
Buchou said it with a voice filled with disgust.
"Cerberus?"
"Yes. It's a famous creature that has the nickname of Guard-dog of Hell."
Guard-dog of Hell…!? So this dog was a monster that sounded that dangerous!?
"It lives in the gate to Hell, no to the Underworld. But to bring it to the humans' world!"
"Is it bad?"
"We have to do it! We will blow it away, Issei !"
"Yes Buchou! Let's do it, Boosted Gear!"
[Boost!]
"Okay doggy! Since it looks like you haven't been tamed properly, I will have to discipline you!" Issei said enthusiastically. But Rias her hand on his shoulder.
"Issei. This time, we will back you up."
"So do I give him the finishing blow by charging my power?"
Rias shook her head.
"No. I will have you support us. You will be transferring your boosted power to us. Boosted Gear is a Sacred Gear that powers you up and also increases the power of your comrades in a team battle. By the way, Issei. Including your power up, how many times can you transfer your powers ?"
"Right now with my current stamina, I can only transfer it 3 or 4 times with the maximum boost. No, I might faint after the fourth time so please think that I can only do it three times."
"I see. So we can't waste it."
I'm sorry Buchou. If I were to use it with fewer boosts I could use it a bit more. But because of the one we are facing, it wouldn't be like that. Somehow it felt like I had turned into a useful "item" for the whole day… Well, that's okay.
"Akeno!"
Rias got her wings out from her back and flew up into the sky with Akeno-san.
GAAAAAARUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Cerberus jumped after making a growl!
FLAAAAAAAAAAAME!
One of the heads looked towards Rias who was flying and breathed out fire! Wow! It seriously was a monster!
"Too naïve."
Akeno stood in front of Rias and froze the fire instantly.
"Take this!"
Rias jumped from behind Akeno and released an enormous black block of demonic-power. The blow from the power of destruction. Buchou's demonic power is a powerful one that eliminates everything it touches.
FLAAAAAAAAAAME!
The other head of the monstrous dog shot out a ball of fire. Rias's demonic power and the fireball of Cerberus clashed against each other violently! Then the other head shot out a fireball! Shit! Three attacks in a row! The second fireball assisted the first one that was getting pushed by Rias's strike! The strength of fire increased and it started to push Buchou's strike. Then Cerberus tried to shoot another one! If it did another one, then even if it was Rias.
"I have found an opening in you."
BANG!
Koneko who jumped from beside me did a heavy blow onto Cerberus's head! It made a loud sound! I don't want to get hit by that, Koneko-chan!
"Here's another blow."
When Akeno pointed her fingers up, there was lightning created in the sky. She then pointed her fingers to Cerberus and…
FLASH!
After a single flash, Cerberus was surrounded by violent lightning! Akeno gave an extra special lightning to the dog. Rias's blow also added to that! But Cerberus' body didn't get terminated and it just struck the side of its stomach. There was dark black blood coming out of the monster dog's stomach. There was smoke coming from it. But it still had a shine in its eyes.
"There's another one!?"
Another Cerberus appeared from the darkness! Don't joke around! It's not a joking matter that another one appeared!
GAAAAAAAAOOOOO!
It made a howl and it came towards me and Asia! Crap! Should we run!? The boosts won't get reset as long as I don't attack and receive any attacks! I had to run while carrying Asia! But it seemed like there was nowhere to run to in a school field like this!
"Ise! Just use the boost to increase your powers!"
Rias gave Issei the permission to use the boosted power.
Then suddenly a bolt of lightning strucked one of the Cerberus.
It belonged to a white tiger.
Byakko roared as he arrived.
"Byakko !?"
Byakko turned to Akeno and nodded as he continued to assist.
"So if he's then he must be having trouble." Rias thought
Meanwhile
Abandoned church.
"Hey i could use some help here." Lancleot said
"Oh no you're doing great."
"As if this thing is practically regenerating."
"And why don't you use that sword of your's then."
"As if I would waste my time using that on this."
"Then used that sacred gear of yours then."
"Are you kidding me with that dragons personalty and my armor together. I'll wound up destroying this place."
"Fine." Takeru said as he walked up.
His body then began to glow as he was now equipped with a set of gauntlets, greaves, mask, and back armor.
"Gilgamesh."
{Okay what the fuck is that ?}
"This is the Devil Arms Gilgamesh."
{Why the fuck is that thing called Gilgamesh ?}
{Here we go...}
"Thats the name of it."
{Well who the fuck called it that huh ? And besides it's not even isn't even a demon at all ! He's just demigod not a fucking demon.}
"Thats it I have enough."
{And another thing that ...}
Takeru the put the annoying otaku dragon gear inside his pocket dimension.
{Finally.}
"Well Im glad you managed to resolve that little problem..But...CAN I GET SOME FREAKING HELP HERE !" yelled Lancelot as his armor began to crack from the blows he's receiving from the giant Nobody.
"Fine."
Then the panels on his boots revealed to boosters. His gauntlets then had two drill like attachments coming out of his forearms.
With the boosters he charged at the Nobody. The Nobody then stopped it's attack on Lanacelot, and brought it's attention to the incoming Takeru.
"Take this.." Takeru said in a non enthusiastic tone as he kicked the claymore off it's hand.
"Hah not so tough without your weapon huh?" Takeru smirked.
The Nobody then created another dual ended Claymore and swung at him.
"Guess not." Takeru joked as he used his hands to block the claymore.
"Hey hurry up somethings going on with those stolen Excaliburs !" Lancelot said sensing the weird change in the holy swords
"Fine !"
The panels of the gauntlet then opened, revealing more boosters.
Takeru then disappeared.
The nobody looked but no sight of him.
Suddenly the nobody started to feel pain from his body.
"Slow" Takeru smirked as he continued his assault.
All what was seen was a blur of red flames from his Devil Arms.
"C'mon hurry up !"
Takeru stopped in mid air with his fist readying for a final attack, with the gauntlet charging up.
"DO IT ALREADY !"
"ALRIGHT HERE !"
In an instant his boosters released huge amount of flames propelling him
The nobody tried to block the attack.
But His attack already hit him on the chest.
"Shock !"
Upon impact of the attack, it released a huge amount of energy all over the Nobody's body creating a shockwave.
The nobody fell down to the ground wrecking half the church.
"And for the finale. Lucifer"
Gilgamesh then disappeared now replaced with a hellish backpack with shaped like a streamlined skull with large glowing red eyes that stare in fury, with metallic projections protruding from its forehead.
Takeru smirked as the he started throwing red swords, spawned from the Devil arms.
The swords landed on the Nobody arranged in a demon head shape.
"And now..." Takeru then snapped his fingers as the red swords glowed.
The swords then exploded with the added power of the Power of Destruction wiping it out completly.
"You are set free."
{You like showing off don't you.}
"Hey what can I say ?" grinned Takeru.
{How long are you gonna leave him there in that pocket dimension ?)
"Does anybody even care about him ?"
Kuoh Academy
One of the heads of the Cerberus that was coming at us went up into the sky. The person who appeared was the one who wielded a long Excalibur. It was Xenovia. The head of the Cerberus that was cut turned to dust.
"I have come to back you up."
STEP!
After saying that, Xenovia went on slashing towards the Cerberus' torso. The Cerberus howled in pain because it lost one of its heads.
GAAAAAAOOOOOOO!
The Cerberus' torso split in half after receiving a fatal strike. There was smoke coming out, and the Cerberus started to vaporise. It was the effect of the holy-sword.
Xenovia thrust her sword deep into the Cerberus' chest to finish it off. That moment, the Cerberus' body turned into dust and disappeared.
Isse's gauntlet started to flash.
[It's telling you that it has reached the stage where the Cerberus can be defeated if you transfer it to Rias Gremory or Himejima Akeno.]
Are you serious? Since when did it get such a convenient system?
[It means that both you and the Sacred Gear are evolving day by day. It has made possible what you desired. As you can't tell the power difference between you and the opponent, you didn't know how many boosts you needed. It has started to tell you now.]
"Buchou! Akeno-san! I have got enough power to take down Cerberus!"
Hearing that, Rias and Akeno looked at each other and nodded. Both of them came down to me at the same time.
"Issei! You increased the strength of the cross and holy water in the battle against Raiser, right?"
"Eh? Ah, I certainly did."
"So it's possible to increase both of us at the same time then! Please transfer the power to Akeno and I!
Ddraig. It was all of a sudden that time, but is it possible?
[Yeah. If it's just two at the same time then it's possible. Except that I can only transfer 70 to 80 percent of the boosted power.]
"I think that would be enough."
"Yes. We can do it."
[PLEASE!]
Rias and Akeno replied at the same time. Issei put his hands on Rias's and Akeno's shoulders and activated his Sacred Gear.
"Let's do it, Boosted Gear!"
[Transfer!]
HEARTBEAT.
An enormous amount of power went to Rias and Akeno. They instantly gained an enormous amount of demonic-power. Both of them were shocked at the amount of power that was overflowing from them.
"…We can do this."
Akeno nodded to Rias's daring smile.
"Akeno!"
"Yes! Thunder! Resound!"
Akeno pointed her fingers to the sky and started to control the thunder. Her fingers were aimed towards the Cerberus.
The Cerberus tried to run from the spot as if it predicted the upcoming thunder!
STAB!
Countless swords pierced through the Cerberus' limb! The swords were coming out from the ground.
"I won't let you escape."
Kiba said as he appeared as well.
FLASH!
The thunder went down at Cerberus after it lost its movement due to the demonic-swords. The lightning was so big that it couldn't be compared to the one before! The lightning covered more than half of the school grounds!
"!"
The howl of the Cerberus was overshadowed by the sound, and its body turned to nothingness from the lightning. Because of its major power up, the potential demonic-energy got used up rapidly responding to the strength of it. Even if it was Buchou and Akeno-san, continuous shots would have been hard for them as well. The moment the big dog disappeared, Buchou pointed her hand towards Kokabiel!
"Take this! Kokabiel!"
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!
There was a gigantic mass of demonic-power that shot out from Buchou's hand!
"It's huge!"
The attack was more than 10 times bigger than the usual shot Rias fires. It gained high velocity and went towards the leader of the fallen-angels who was sitting up in the sky! The power of destruction fell on top of Kokabiel. But he just stretched one of his hands to the front.
BAAAAAAAANG!
He was blocking Rias's shot with only one of his hands! You must be joking! He stopped a gigantic shot like that with only one hand!?
GUUUN!
Kokabiel faced his palm towards the sky. The shot that was fired by Rias changed its direction and went up to the sky and disappeared. Kokabiel showed his malicious smile after seeing the smoke coming out of his hand.
"I see. Rias Gremory's power would grow this much because of the power of Sekiryutei. Interesting. This is very interesting indeed. Kukuku."
Kokabiel started to laugh by himself as if he find it funny.
"…It's complete."
Balba's voice. Then the four Excaliburs that were placed on the center of the school field started giving out incredible amounts of light.
Kokabiel started applauding.
"The four Excaliburs are going to become one."
It started giving out divine light that spread throughout the school field. Because of its brightness, we covered our faces with our hands. When the bright lights were gone, there was one holy-sword at the center of the field giving out a blue-white aura.
"Because of the light created by the Excalibur when it turned into one, the spell on the ground is also complete. This town will collapse within 20 minutes. The only way to dispel it is by beating Kokabiel."
"Freed!"
Kokabiel called out the name of that shitty priest.
"What's up, Boss?"
A white haired boy priest emerged from the darkness.
"Use the Excalibur in the circle. It shall be the last entertainment. Fight while using the Excalibur that has turned into one from the four Excaliburs."
"Yeah yeah. Geez. My Boss sure uses people recklessly. But but! It's like I'm so honored to use the Excalibur-chan that has become super wonderful! Something like that? Uhehehe! I will just chop some devils now!"
Freed put on a crazy smile while holding the Excalibur located at the center of the school field.
Xenovia then spoke to Kiba.
"Rias Gremory's "Knight". If the cooperation is still valid, let us destroy that Excalibur together."
"Is it okay?"
Xenovia laughed fearlessly at Kiba's words.
"At worst, it won't be a problem if I collect the "fragment" of the Excalibur that is acting as the core of it. Since Freed is wielding it, that is a holy-sword but it isn't a holy-sword. Even if it's a holy-sword, it's the same as any other weapon. It changes depending on the person using it. That is a sword of heresy."
"Kukuku…"
Someone was laughing at the duo's conversation. It was Balba.
"Balba Galilei. I am a survivor of the "Holy-sword Project". No. I am the one who was killed by you to be more precise. I have continued living by being reincarnated into a devil."
Kiba said calmly to Balba. But his eyes were filled with flames of hatred. Depending on Balba's answer it might become an explosive situation.
"Hou. The survivor of that project. This is such a misfortune. To meet you in a far east country like this. I feel fate. Fufufu."
"You see. I like holy-swords. I like them so much that they come out in my dreams. Possibly because my heart was fascinated by the legend of Excalibur since I was a child. That's why when I found out that I can't use Excalibur I went into despair."
Balba suddenly started talking about his life. A story about the geezer's past, huh.
"I held admiration for those who can wield it because I couldn't. That feeling became so powerful that I started an experiment to create those who can use them. Then it was complete. It's thanks to you and the others."
"What? Complete? You disposed of us after finding us to be a failure."
Kiba lifted his eyebrows seemingly in doubt. From Kiba, Buchou and Xenovia's story I heard that the experiment failed. Didn't they dispose of them because they found them to be a failure? But Balba shook his head.
"I realised that there was an essential factor needed to wield holy-swords. So I used the numerical value of the "factors" to investigate its capability. Most of the test subjects had the "elements" but they didn't have the numerical value needed to wield the Excalibur. Then I reached a conclusion. Is there a way to take out the elements and gather them?."
Xenovia seemed like she learned the truth and grit her teeth hatefully. Wh…what did she mean? I was in doubt and Balba continued to talk,
"That's right holy-sword wielder girl. We take out the holy-elements from those who have them and crystallise them. Just like this."
Balba took out an orb that was giving out light. It was a shiny orb. It has the so-called holy aura in it.
"With this, the research on holy-sword wielders improved. Even so, those fools from the Church banished me for heresy and took away my reports on the research. By looking at you, I see that the project was succeeded by someone. That Michael. He made me look like a criminal and this is the result? Well it's that angel we are talking about. Even if he takes the elements out from the test subjects, he wouldn't go as far as to kill them. That part only would make him more human than me. Kukukuku."
Balba laughed pleasantly.
"…You killed my comrades and took out the elements needed to wield the holy-swords?"
Kiba asked Balba with his voice filled with killing intent.
"That's right. This orb is from back then. I have used three of them on Freed though."
"Hyahahahaha! Other guys besides me died because their bodies couldn't synchronise with the elements! Hmmmmm. If I think like that, that makes me special."
"…Balba Galilei. How many lives have you sacrificed for your greed and experiments…"
Kiba's hands were shaking and there was an aura of anger coming out of his body. What an incredible intensity.
"Hm. If you say that, then I will give this orb to you. My research has reached the stage where it is possible to mass produce them in the right environment. First of all, I will destroy this town with Kokabiel. Next I will gather the legendary holy-swords stored around the world. Then I will mass produce holy-sword wielders and start a war against Michael and the Vatican with the combined Excaliburs. I'm going to show the result of my research to those foolish angels and their followers who have convicted me."
Balba threw away the orb as if he had lost interest in it. It rolled on the ground and went to Kiba's foot. Kiba leaned down silently and picked it up. He patted the orb sadly, lovingly, and dearly.
"…Everyone…"
"Luckily I have new better energy." Balba said, now holding a new orb.
"...I see you have it huh oldman ?" said a new voice.
Byakko seeing the person, nodded and disappeared.
They all looked to see it was Takeru with his eyes glared full of killer intent and demonic energy radiating from his body.
"Hah about time you came !" Kokabiel said happily.
"Takeru..." Akeno said in relief but was also worried about him as well seeing the glare he had.
"Y-YOU YOU'RE THAT BOY !" Kokabiel yelled in fear recognizing him.
"I see that you remembered me old man. How about you give me back my parents energy then" Takeru smirked.
Everyone was shocked that the other holy energy orb Balba was holding now was Takeru's parents.
"So thats why..."
"Sempai..."
"...Takeru-sempai"
"..."
"Takeru..."
"Takeru-san..."
"No way with this, my research will advance." Balba rejected the idea.
"Balba do it."
"What !?"
"Just do it !" Kokabiel yelled causing the priest to cringe in fear as he threw the orb to Takeru.
Takeru caught it.
"Wow this is some mess huh ?" said the arrival of Lancelot.
"Lancelot-san !?"
"Yo, Rias " Lancelot waved.
The orb Kiba had began to glow. It then formed into a proper shape. It took the shape of people. There were boys and girls who were giving out blue-white lights and they were surrounding Kiba.
"The various powers that are present on this battlefield made the spirits within the orbs appear."
Akeno-san said. Things like this happen? Demonic-swords, holy-swords, devils and fallen-angels. Everything was present here. So it was not weird for this to happen?
They looked at Kiba with a dear and sad expression.
"Everyone! I…I!"
Yes. Even I understood. They were also the ones who were involved in the "Holy-sword project". They were the ones who were disposed of.
"…I have always…always thought about it. Was it alright that I was the only one that survived… There were those who had more dreams than me. There were those who wanted to live more than me. Is it alright that I am the only one to have a peaceful life…"
Then one boy's spirit smiled and it seemed like he wanted to say something. He was moving his lips but I couldn't understand what he was saying because I couldn't read lips. Then Akeno-san read it for me,
"…[Don't worry about us anymore. You are alive at least]. That's what they are saying."
There were tears coming out from both of his eyes because it seemed like their thoughts reached him. Then the spirits of boys and girls started to move their lips in a rhythm. Were they singing?
"…The sacred song."
Asia mumbled.
They were singing the sacred-song… Kiba started to sing while shedding tears. When they were going through the painful experiment, this was the only thing they obtained to keep their hopes and dreams. This was the only support they had to continue living during their harsh life. Kiba and his comrades had the smiles of innocent children.
! Their bodies started to glow blue-white. Those lights were getting brighter, with Kiba in the center.
[We were no good alone.]
[We didn't have enough elements to wield the holy swords. But.]
[It will be okay if we are together.]
{Shouldn't you sing also ?} said a new voice talking to Takeru.
Takeru's eyes widen in surprise recognizing the voice and realized the orb he had disappeared.
Takeru grinned.
"The last time I sang that, I had a head ache from saying the word "god" Tou-san. "Takeru said
{Hey sorry about that.} grinned Takeru's father.
Akeno was shocked to see that the spirits of Takeru's parents also appeared.
{My you sure have grown haven't you?} said the spirit of Takeru's mother now appearing.
Tears started to come out of Takeru's eyes.
[You have to accept the holy-sword.] said the voice of Kiba's friends.
[It's not scary.]
[Even if God is watching.]
[Our hearts are always…]
[ONE.]
Their spirits went up into the heaven and they turned into a big light that fell down to Kiba.
[Partner.]
Then Ddraig spoke to me. What is it? In an emotional situation like this!
[That "Knight" has reached it.]
I'm asking what do you mean!
[Sacred Gears change and evolve while using the feelings of the possessors as a key. But there is a different territory to that. When the feelings and the wishes of the possessor does a dramatic change that it changes the flow of this world, the Sacred Gear reaches it. Yes. This is…]
Ddraig made a laugh of enjoyment.
[Balance Breaker.]
[Don't worry about us. At least you live.]
My former-comrades weren't wishing for me to deliver their vengeance. They weren't wishing for it!
"But it's not like everything is solved."
Yes, it hasn't ended. If I don't take down the evil thing right in front of me, there will be a repetition of the incident that happened to us.
"Balba Galilei. As long as I don't kill you, there will be those who would suffer the same fate as us."
"Hmph. It's been said for a long time that research always comes with sacrifices. Haven't you realised that yet?"
"You certainly are evil!"
"Kibaaaaaaaa! Cut down both Freed and Excalibur!"
…Issei-kun.
"You are the "Knight" of the Gremory group and my comrade! My friend! Fight Kibaaaaaaa! Don't waste their feelings and spirit!"
"You have helped me. Even if you won't profit from it. Even if you might have received punishment from our master…"
"Yuuto! Do it! You have to finish this yourself! Surpass Excalibur! You are the servant of I, Rias Gremory! My "Knight" will not lose to a mere Excalibur!"
"Yuuto-kun! I believe in you!"
Buchou. ]… Rias-buchou! Akeno-san!
"…Yuuto-senpai!"
Koneko-chan.
"Come Kiba beat that fake holy sword wielder !"
"Lancelot-san."
"Please do your best!"
Everyone.
"Hahaha! Why are you crying? You were singing with joy with the ghost-chan. It's really a nuisance. It's totally the worst. You know I hate that song. Just listening to it makes the hair on my skin crawl! I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm totally at my limit! I'm going to cut you into pieces and calm myself! With this ultimate Excalibur that has merged 4 of them!"
" Freed Zelzan. My comrades' spirits reside within you. I can't allow you to do evil deeds with them any longer! These tears I have are tears of determination. …I will become a sword. My comrades. My comrades who have merged with my spirit. Let us overcome it together. The feelings we couldn't say back then! The wishes we couldn't fulfill back then! Right now, right here! I shall become the sword of Buchou and my comrades! Please respond to my feelings now! Sword-Rebirth!"
Kiba's Sacred Gear and the spirits of his comrades mixed. It started to align and formed a shape. The demonic power and the holy power were combining.
"Balance-Breaker "Sword of the Betrayer". You shall receive the power of this sword that has both the power of light and demonic powers with your own body."
Kiba delcared as he ran towards Freed.
"So you finally did it huh Kiba." Lancelot smiled.
With his Knight's speed, Freed tried to grasp his movement with his eyes, but Kiba got out of his sight by doing a few feints.
Even so, Freed blocked the strikes. But the aura that was covering his Excalibur was being erased by Kiba's sword.
"! That sword surpasses the originator of holy-swords!?"
He said in a shocked voice.
"If that was the true Excalibur, then I could not have won against it. But that Excalibur cannot cut the feelings of me and my comrades!"
"Chi!"
Freed clicked his tongue, and stepped back after he pushed me back.
"Stretccccccch!"
His Excalibur started to twist as if it were alive. It moved randomly and came towards Kiba with intense speed. Then his sword split into two at the tip of the blade, and started to come at Kiba with god speed using Excaliburs Rapdily's ability. Kiba detecting Freed's killer intent, was able to easily parry his attacks.
"Why!? Why isn't it hitting!? You are supposed to be the unrivaled holy-sword-sama, aren't you!? Weren't you supposed to have lots of legends of being the ultimate sword!?"
Freed shouted.
"Then! Then I have to add this as well!"
The tip of the holy-sword disappeared, using power of "Excalibur Transparency". The ability to make the blade transparent.
The transparent sword and Kiba's sword made sparks. I was parrying all of his attacks.
"…!"
Freed narrowed his eyes and made a shocked face.
"Yes. Keep him there like that."
Xenovia suddenly intruded. She held the holy-sword in her left-hand, and put her right-hand in the air.
"Saint Peter. Saint Basil the Great. Saint Denis. Holy-mother Mary. Please hear my voice."
Xenovia put her hand in the middle of the distorted space. She put her hand in, and pulled something right out of the dimensional gap. What appeared was a single sword that gave out a holy aura.
"In the names of the saints whom reside within this blade, I will release it. Durandal!"
"A Durandal!?"
"Wow so she the wielder damn" Lancelot said in surprise.
"You were not the wielder of the Excalibur!?"
Not just Balba, even Kokabiel couldn't hide his astonishment.
"Wrong. I was originally the wielder of Durandal. I was also chosen as the holder of the Excalibur. That's all."
Xenovia made a stance with Durandal. Two-sword style along with the Excalibur.
"Absurd! According to my research, we haven't reached the stage where someone can wield Durandal!?"
"Of course. Even in the Vatican, they haven't made someone who can wield Durandal artificially."
"Then why!?"
"Unlike those common artificial holy-sword wielders like Irina, I'm a natural born wielder."
Balba became speechless at her words.
"Durandal is a sword that ravages beyond what people can imagine. It cuts anything it touches. It doesn't even listen to me most of the time. That's why I have to keep it in another dimension, otherwise it would be dangerous. Even I, the holder, have a hard time with it. Now, Freed Zelzan. Thanks to you, we can have the decisive battle between Excalibur and Durandal. Right now, I'm shaking with enjoyment. Don't die in a single strike okay? At least use the Excalibur to its fullest!"
The blade of Durandal started to give out more holy-aura than the Excalibur Freed held.
"Is that even allowed!? It became a situation like this! You shitty bitch! I don't need any of that for this setting!"
Freed shouted and moved his killing intent to Xenovia. I couldn't see with my eyes, but he probably slashed his transparent sword towards her.
GAKIIIN!
With a single side slash, the Excalibur shattered. Because of the pressure given by the swing of Durandal, there was a big hole in the school field.
"So it's just a broken holy-sword, huh. It can't even compete with my Durandal."
Xenovia made a sigh while looking bored. What an incredible power. It can't even be compared with her "Excalibur Destruction".
"Are you serious!? Are you really serious!? The legendary Excalibur-chan is shattered into pieces!? Horrible! This is really horrible! Kaaaa! Was it wrong to use something that was broken from the start? The shallowness of humans. The foolishness of the Church. I want to grow up while taking a glimpse of it!"
He tried to block Kiba's attack with the remnants of his Excalibur but…
A shallow shattering sound echoed. The sound of the Excalibur crumbling.
"Did you see it? Our powers have surpassed Excalibur."
Freed fell down while blood came out of the wound Kiba made from his shoulder to the side of his stomach.
"I won…"
{Wow those kids are strong huh ?"remakred Takeru's father.
Takeru grinned at how Kiba was able to overcome his revenge.
{You're smiling.} teased his mother.
"Shut up."
{And when did you start talking like that?}
"Ever since as a child. Kaa-san"
Akeno then walked up to Takeru.
{Ara, Akeno-chan is that you ? Wow you sure have grown into a beautiful woman just like your mother.} Takeru's mother complimented.
{So have you two...}
"NO !" Takeru and Akeno said, both blushing.
{I see.} snickered Takeru's mother.
"Ho…Holy-demonic sword…? Impossible… The polar opposite of two things cannot merge…" said Balba in shock.
"Balba Galilei. Prepare yourself."
Then suddenly a light spear was thrown and it destroyed the spirits of Takeru's parents.
"I hope you were finished with that little reunion. But please get your head back in the fight." smirked Kokabiel.
Takeru's eyes widen in horror seeing the death of his parents a second time now.
His demonic arm started to glow brightly as a new Katana appeared from his arm.
"Thats right come on use that sword. " Kokabiel said eagerly.
"The Yamato !" Kokabiel yelled
Everyones eyes widen to fact that the sword Takeru had now was the very sword that belonged to the Dark Knight Sparda.
"DEVIL TRIGGER !" Takeru yelled as he was now enveloped in dark blue energy, along with the Yamato glowing as well.
"Thats it come on SON OF SPARDA !" Kokabiel yelled in joy.
