And here we are with another chapter of DotVN. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 15

"Try not to damage the area to badly," warned Yuri.

"I know but try telling them that," said Godou, looking towards the wolves.

"Don't worry about it," I said, "I got Akeno to teach me some spells to repair areas. so long as you don't completely flatten the place I should be able to patch things up."

Godou nodded and closed his eyes, his form becoming infused with orange light.

"Save the White Horse and the Bird of Pray," said Erica, "You'll need them in the fight against the Duke. Let me take care of them."

"Yeah, you stay back until the main dish arrived," I said, stepping up alongside Erica.

Erica summoned forth her sword and tossed it high, the blade spinning and multiplying in the air before flying into the pack of wolves, stabbing and killing many. the Grand Knight grinned as her sword returned to her hand.

"See, its easy," she said,

"Not bad," I said, "I got one better though."

I threw Orpheda high into the air where it stuck in the golden magic circle that appeared.

"Orpheda, to you I entrust the battlefield! Serpent of Fire, crush him to dust, swallow him whole, burn him to ash!"

Fire erupted as the massive serpent came forth, consuming the remaining wolves before coiling around me like a dragon. Before we could celebrate our minor victory, the wind picked up as a twister appeared.

"It seems my hunting hounds proved useless against the Red Devil and the Rook in Flaming Armour," said the voice of Voban.

I scowled at the nickname.

"Is that really what they're calling me?" I asked with a pout.

"Tell me young man, are you prepared for me to annihilate you?" asked Voban, ignoring my antics.

"Aren't you the one with theatrics, manifesting in a gust of wind?" asked Godou in a mocking tone of voice.

"I must admit the thought of destroying you is thrilling," said Voban.

"Is that another of your authorities, boring your opponent to death with taunts?" I asked.

"Hmm, you are pertinent," said Voban, glaring at me with glowing green eyes, "But you have a point. here, let me introduce you to the first amongst my servants."

He snapped his fingers bubbles of energy began to emerge from his shadow, growing to human size before turning into undead warriors.

"Ew, thats disgusting!" I said, covering my nose.

"These are all strong warriors who amused me in the past," continued Voban, ignoring my comment once more, "I do hope you have fun."

"In their own lifetimes all of these men were once noble and great Knights," said Erica, "This'll be tough."

"You mean hes controlling them even after death?" asked Godou, gritting his teeth, "So I needn't hold back, right?"

he closed his eyes and his power spiked, damn near putting me on my knees from the sudden increase.

"Come to me, for the victory! Immortal Sun, lend me a quick, shining steed."

High above, the clouds drifted aside to reveal the blinding light of the noonday sun.

"The sun?" questioned Voban, looking up at the sky, "Flames from the Heavens?"

"Come to me now, quick and ethereal horse, your master demands your immediate presence here!"

From the foux sun, a massive blast of fire in the shape of a horse emerged, rampaging down on a collision course for Voban.

"Guess I can't just stand here," I muttered, raising a hand and pointing.

The snake, still coiling around me, shot into the sky and joined with the Horse, adding hellish red and black flames to the Horses white and gold. The light alone was enough to blow away the Dead Servants, but despite that Voban didn't look particularly worried. He proved why a moment later when his body began to expand as he transformed into a werewolf and grabbed the flames of the Horse and Snake, swallowing them easily.

"Hehe," growled the wolfman.

"What the hell was that?" asked Godou in shock that his technique was defeated so easily.

"Well, that went well," I grumbled, holding out my hand and allowing Orpheda to appear in a flash of yellow. As soon as my hand closed on the hilt, the end of the sword suddenly stretched and turned into a club that bashed me over the head.

"Ow, that hurt!"

The sword hit me again.

"Alright, I'm sorry!" I said, shielding my head from any more blows. the sword seemed to nod in satisfaction before turning back into a blade.

Fortunately, everyone was to busy being shocked by Vobans devouring of the flames to witness my sword scolding me.

"He ate the Horses flame?" asked Erica in a shocked voice, "How is that possible?"

"HAHAHAH!" laughed the Duke, his voice now deep and grating, "Is that it? is that the level of the man who fought with Salvatore? The Level of the same man who defeated Athena? I would like to return the gift you gave me, but this body would destroy the Himi-Miko as well as you. so I shall send my servants to deal with you instead!"

The Dead Servants began to rise once more, moving towards us threateningly. Erica charged, engaging the undead warriors while I closed my eyes.

"Lets see, I really need something more suitable for fighting the darkness," I muttered, opening my eyes with a smirk on my face, "I think I have just the thing."

I spun my sword before tossing it high.

"Blade that can cut through Evil, I summon you forth!" a magic circle appeared around the blade, "By Power, Wisdom and Courage, I call upon the sword of Evils Bane!"

Orpheda glowed brightly and transformed, dropping into my hand. I caught it and spun, slicing the three Servants that were about to attack me in two as I did, there bodys transforming into ash as the blade passed through them. As I skidded to a stop, the light surrounding my sword vanished, revealing a doubled edged longsword made of silvery blue metal. its hilt was purple, with an elaborate guard resembling wings and a single golden gem in the center and three equilateral triangles arranged in a larger triangle engraved on the blade just above it. In the dark of the night, the blade seemed to glow slightly.

"Well, that I wasn't expecting," I said, examining my new weapon, "Although I can't say I'm completely shocked. with the way my lifes going I wouldn't be surprised it turned out I was the Hero of Time or something equally stupid."

I looked up and saw that while I was reminiscing I had been surrounded by Dead Servants who were all aiming there rusted weapons at me.

"Alright, thats enough spacing out," I said, "Lets go!"

I charged, going on the offensive and slicing through the crowd like a knife through butter. I skidded to a stop outside of the group who had surrounded me, leaving them to topple over, each one sliced neatly in two. I glanced down at my sword again, a look of admiration in my eyes.

"Wow, this things awesome!" I said.

"Ren, we need to regroup!" yelled Godou, catching my attention.

"Got it," I said, swinging and arm and unleashing a wave of fire that eliminated another planix of undead soldiers.

I sensed Godous power spike before it vanished, moving away at incredible speed, even as Erica took to the roof tops with her Leap magic.

"Well now, this has been fun but I really must be going," I said, spinning my sword, "Tata."

I rammed it into the ground, causing a massive gout of fire to erupt around me. by the time it cleared, I was long gone.

I swooped out of the nights sky and alighted atop a building a good distance from the battleground. As soon as I touched down, my legs buckled and I fell on my but with a sigh of exhaustion. I had been fighting non stop since I had beaten Ophelia and I was knackered. It didn't really help that I had used a good chunk of my magic keeping the wolves of us in the car and with those last two pyrotechnics I had pulled out to escape. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a hip flask, undoing the top and taking a swig, enjoying the taste of deliciously sweet Yorkshire tea as the Nectar flowed over my tongue. What? I'm a simply guy. I may be Japanese in this life, but I was still a British Born lad at heart.

I put the top back on the flask and carefully put it back in my pocket, relaxing as the Godly drink went to work on my aching muscles and depleted stamina. Before I could enjoy more than a few moments piece however, my senses flared and I rolled forwards, just in time to dodge a clawed hand that would have crushed me into paist had I not dodged.

"Well, hello there," said a familiar voice, "What a coincidence meeting you here."

I spun, my sword at the ready, only to freeze in shock at the sight before me.

"O-ophelia?" I asked, a feeling of horror rising in my chest.

"Oh come now," said the former Warrior, "We met so recently, don't tell me you already forgot."

She slithered up onto the rooftop fully, revealing the snakelike lower body and bladed arms of her Awakened Form.

"That really hurts my feelings, its so mean of you."

You know how when I fought the Stray, I said that the Manga and Anime couldn't hope to describe just how horrific it really was? Well double that statement here. Because, although she didn't smell nearly as bad, just of dried blood, she was emitting an insane amount of power, almost on par with Godou, more than a hundred times more than what she had before. That much power however only just put her above me. What was really bad was the feeling of the power. It was cloying and foul, not natural in the least. just being near it at a level just above my own was nearly enough to make me sick. If this was a number four, there was no way in hell I wanted to find out what a number two felt like, let alone an Abyssal One. I'd probably pass out in seconds.

"Say, do you have anything to eat?" asked Ophelia, breaking me from my thoughts, "for some reason I feel really hungry. Meat would be best, something soft and fresh. Like guts for example."

I stiffened and raised my blade, readying myself for battle.

"Oh I don't want human guts, its not like I'm an Awakened Being, but something close to human would be delish," she regarded me with contemplative eyes.

"Oh no."

"Say, your not really human, are you?"

My blade came up on instinct, just barely blocking the razor sharp claws as the Awakened Being struck out at me. I pushed her off and leaped back, dodging her follow up strike and landing on the opposite side of the roof.

"Sorry Four," I said, "But I have no interest in being dinner tonight. I also can't let you go wandering around and praying on innocents. I may catch hell for this, but you're going down!"

"Oh, you are confident," purred Ophelia, "I do so love it when my pray fights back!"

We both glared at each other before, on an unknown signal, we both vanished and the center of the roof was reduced to gravel.

Again, another chapter with nothing changed because nothing needed changing. Anyway, signing off, bye, review.
