Hello everyone this my new chapter. I hope you all like it, sorry for bad grammar. Enjoyy
Chapter 13: Magic Erebea
Aaron POV
Kiba had done it... one of the impossible laws in this world. The fusion of Demonic and Holy power... Yet, this guy managed to do it. Interesting! Maybe after God's in this world death, a few balance of this world were altered. It may be possible for Kiba to do that, if that happened.
The blonde haired knight ran towards Freed.
His trait as a knight is speed! Freed tried to grasp his movement with his eyes, but he got out of his sight by doing a few feints.
GINNNNNNNNNG!
Even so, Freed blocked his strike. But the aura that was covering his Excalibur was being erased by Kiba's sword.
"That sword surpasses the Excalibur!?"
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!"
I can see Freed clicked his tongue, and stepped back after he pushed Kiba back.
"Stretccccccch!"
His Excalibur started to twist as if it were alive. It moved randomly and came towards Kiba with intense speed. The ability of "Excalibur Mimic"! I see. It has four of the abilities. Then his sword split into two at the tip of the blade, and started to come at Kiba with god speed. This is the ability of "Excalibur Rapidly". So that's why they attack Irina they want to take their Excalibur and then fuse it. This guys is idiot his killing intent aura is too many! I perfectly know which direction the killing intent is coming from, parrying it is very easy.
"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. I could see that his expression was filled with both enjoyment and impatience, pathetic creature.
The tip of the holy-sword disappeared. Transparency pheromone? This is the power of "Excalibur Transparency". The ability to make the blade transparent. But Kiba can perfectly read his movement because of Freed's visible killing intent.
The transparent sword and Kiba's sword made sparks. He 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."
Well, she finally use durandal, when our first meeting when i came here, i didn't get to see her release it since i threat her, oh well i feel so bad now...
The space in front of Kiba got distorted. 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, come forth! Durandal!"
"A Durandal!?"
"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. Xenovia was someone who was gifted to wield the Holy-swords.
"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. It had more power than Kiba's sword. Obviously. The uncomplete Excalibur is nothing compare to Durandal
"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.
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. As expected of Durandal… Still, Xenovia cannot use the sword with it's maximum potential…
"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!"
His killing intent became weak, and Kiba went right at him. He also couldn't respond to it. Checkmate. He tried to block Kiba's Holy-demonic sword with the remnants of his Excalibur but…
BAAAKIIIN!
A shallow shattering sound echoed. The sound of the Excalibur crumbling.
"Did you see it? Our powers have surpassed Excalibur."
Kiba cut down Freed as soon as he shattered the Excalibur. Freed fell down while blood came out of the wound he made from his shoulder to the side of his stomach.
He won…
He surpassed the Excalibur…fragments. Kiba gripped the Holy-demonic sword hard and looked up to the sky. Rather than an inexpressible feeling, he felt like losing. It felt like the only reason he was living and the only reason he was allowed to live disappeared.
"Ho…Holy-demonic sword…? Impossible… The polar opposite of two things cannot merge…"
Balba Galilei made a strong expression. That's right. It hasn't finished yet.
"Balba Galilei. Prepare yourself."
He pointed his Holy-demonic sword at him and tried to slash at him.
"…I see! I understand now! Holy and demonic. It will be an explanation, if the beings that represent the two become unbalanced! Then not only the Maou but the God has also…"
STAB.
A spear of light pierced through Balba's chest, he must be realise that... But does kill your comrade is neccesary?! Maniac Crow!
GOUGH!
Balba went down after throwing a solid amount of blood. Kiba went up to him to confirm his state. And he had already passed away.
"Balba. You were remarkable. The reason you went up to that conclusion proves that. But, I don't mind whether you are with me or not. I could have done it by myself from the beginning."
Kokabiel who was up in the air was sneering. The one who killed Balba was Kokabiel.
"Hahahaha! Kahahahahahahahaha!"
Kokabiel laughed loudly and landed on the ground.
The leader of the fallen-angels finally stood in front of us while sending out an intense aura and confidence. While smiling fearlessly he said,
"Increase the power of Sekiryuutei and transfer it to someone else."
He made an order full of confidence, and Rias got enraged.
"Are you trying to give us a chance!? Don't mess around!"
"Don't mess around? Hahaha. You guys are the ones who are messing around. Do you guys think you can defeat me?"
Suddenly Akeno step forward.
"Lightning!"
Akeno sent the lightning towards Kokabiel. But her lightning dissipated with a single movement of Kokabiel's wing.
"Will you stand in my way!? The one who inherited her power from Barakiel!?"
"...Do not put me in the same group as him!"
Huh?
Akeno widened her eyes and got enraged. She continued to use lightning but they were all deflected by Kokabiel's wings. According to Redo-bouzo, Barakiel is the leader of the fallen-angels. A thunder user who has the alias "Holy-Lightning". In terms of basic fighting ability, he is said to be on par with the Viceroy of the fallen-angels, Azazel. And Barakiel is Akeno father?! So that's why i feel some fallen angel presence inside her.
"For you to become a devil! Hahaha! You have pleasant servants, Rias Gremory! Sekiryuutei! The left-over of the Holy-sword project who reached Balance-Breaker! And the daughter of Barakiel! And even having filthy Human as an ally! You have weird tastes, just like your brother!"
Kokabiel stated that as he point his finger to Rias and me.
Ooh my dear if i show you my real form i sure you will pee at your underwear, suddenly Rias spoke with angry
"I won't forgive you for insulting my brother…our Maou! More than that, the insults you made to my servants and hero will require your life!"
Kokabiel laughed with his nose at Buchou's anger. He then said provokingly,
"Then try to destroy me! Maou's sister!"
It useless...
STEP!
It seemed like Xenovia moved.
"Kiba and I will attack at the same time!"
Xenovia stated her plan.
With their current power and ability they have right now. There isn't a chance to win against Kokabiel… It is not the time!
"Gahahahaha! Seeing that even after losing the masters you serve, you devils and followers of God can still fight, huh!"
Kokabiel spoke. Oh shit! He's going to reveals that!
"…What do you mean?"
Buchou asked with doubt. Kokabiel started laughing aloud as if he found it truly amusing.
"Fuhaha, fuhahahahahahahahahaha! That's right! I totally forgot! The truth wasn't revealed to you lower guys! Then I will tell you. In the war between the three sides, not only the Yondai-Maou but also God died."
Fuck!
"It's normal for you guys to not know about it. Who can say that God has died? Humans are an incomplete bunch. Without God they cannot control their hearts and obey the laws, you know? Even us, the fallen-angels, and devils couldn't tell this to those below us. You won't know where the information about God will be leaked from. Even among the three-powers, only the people at the top and certain people know about it. Though it seems Balba noticed it earlier."
"After the War, what was left were the angels who had lost their God, the devils that lost their Maou and the majority of high-class devils and the fallen-angels who lost most of the fallen-angels apart from the leaders. So it wasn't a mere exhausted state. All of the factions fell so low, that they had to rely on humans to continue their generations. Especially the angels and fallen-angels that could only continue their generation by mating with humans. Fallen-angels can increase if the angels fall. But pure-angels can't increase their numbers after losing God. Even pure-devils are rare, right?"
"...Lies...it's a lie..."
Xenovia seemed like she started losing strength. She had a panicked expression that was too unbearable to look at. The active believer. God's servant. A person who lived by serving God as her mission. If the existence of God was rejected and she lost the means to live, it would be natural to become like that. Even I... I would be biting my lips thinking what my life meant.
"The truth is that another big war wouldn't happen unless you do it on purpose. It means that all three-sides went through hell in the past war. Everyone decided that it was meaningless to continue having a war if the start of it all, God and the Maou, were dead. Even that bastard Azazel declared that "there is no second war" after losing the majority of his men in the war! It's hard to bear! It truly is hard to bear! To lower your gun once you already shot it!? Don't fuck around. Don't fuck around! If we continued on from there, we could have won! Even so he...! Is there any value in fallen-angels who can only live by inviting humans who possess Sacred Gears!?"
Kokabiel declared his argument strongly. His face was expressing anger. The real truth made an impact on them more than i thought. Asia-chan covered her mouth with her hands, opened her eyes wide, and her whole body shook. Even if she turned into a devil, her belief didn't disappear... I can't see this... Poor Asia...
"...God doesn't exist? God...is dead? Then the love we were given by him is..."
Kokabiel answered Asia-san's doubt with a laugh.
"That's right. It's normal that there is no love from God and no divine protection from him. God is gone already. Michael is certainly doing well. He's taking the place of God and is taking care of the angels and humans. Well if the "system" used by God is operating, then the prayer to God, the blessing to God, and exorcism would function. But if you compare it to the time God was present, the number of believers decreased. That Holy-demonic sword brat over there was able to create the Holy-demonic sword because the balance between God and the Maou broke. In reality, Holy and demonic powers cannot merge. If the ones who rule the power of Holy and demonic powers, God and the Maou, disappear then lots of unique phenomenon occur."
Damn this crow...
"Asia! Pull yourself together, Asia!"
Ise held her and called out to her. It wasn't weird for her to get shocked. The majority of her life involved serving God. She sacrificed her life because she thought God existed. A lot of things must be happening inside her. Stupid crow...
"From here on out, I will start a war! I will take your heads as a gift! Even if it's only me, I will continue from where we left off! I'm going to show Sirzechs and Michael that we, the fallen-angels, are the ultimate beings!"
This is enough already... Their mental already broke... This is enough!
"Alright that's enough crow!" I step forward
"What do you say human?"
"I JUST CALL YOU A CROW! YOU SCUM! So what if God is died? So what if Maou is died? We alive now not because of them! We alive because our power! Even if God is dead so what?! We still happy! We still laugh! We still ALIVE! THE WORLD STILL GOING EVEN IF GOD IS DEAD!" I shout at him, he seems taken back by my word. But i can see light of hope start to glowing from everyone eyes, i smile warm to them and turned to this crow
"COME ON YOU CROW! GIMME YOUR BEST SHOT!" I said with getting to my fighting stance.
"NO! Sensei! Are you crazy?! Even we together we still can't beat him! You could be de-"
"Easy Rias-san, I'm your teacher right? Believe in me" i smile to him, and put out my bracelet and throw it to her.
"Ha! You have nerve human! But you just a bug for me! I will made you disappear without trace!" He said with crazy laugh
On Kokabiel's hand, the energy of the fallen angels, the power of light gathered.
DOOOOOOOOOOOON!
At a fast pace, a large spear of light appeared in Kokabiel's hand.
"Die!"
Kokabiel shot the spear towards me. It was aiming for my right chest.
"SENSEI!/ GREMORY-SAN!"
BOOM!
"Magic Erebea: Complexio"
Third person POV
The explosion began swirling around Aaron and there are some other color aura warp him, suddenly his form began to change, all of his skin became black, his hair become so long, his hand and leg become claw, a spike come out from his elbow and shoulder, he growth a tail and a black energy power with spiral form appear in his right and left side.. *Imagine adult Negi in Dark Magic Erebia form from Negima but he have an Evangeline devil eye*
GOOOOOO
Aaron aura become more stronger and the ground around him began to tremble
"What an massive aura..." Xenovia spoke in awe
[I never though i'm going to see the legendary Magic Erebea]
Suddenly Ddraig speak from Ise gauntlet
"Magic erebea? What is that magic Ddraig?" Ask Ise, as everyone began to look at Ise gauntlet
[Its a forbidden Magic that has been created by some Vampire mage that once is known as the strongest Vampire that her power is can match even Archangel Michael itself her name is Evangeline. That magic make user gather every power around him and consume it to make them stronger, it possible if the there are enough power in that area, the user can match a God]
Everyone surprise and stare at Aaron with awe and disbelief
"That mean Grey-sensei will be okay fighting Kokabiel right?" Rias said with relief tone
[Yes, he is more strong from Kokabiel now, but the great power always come with a great price]
Everyone shocked when hear this, they only stare at Aaron
"What's the price?" Xenovia ask in low tone
[Magic Erebea created by Evangeline because she different from other vampire, she immortal. Some power that being gathered is not fit the user that's why it will become a poison and kill the user immediatly but since Evangeline is immortal that effect doesn't affect her, but even it didn't kill her. She will become very weak for a few day or even few weeks. For Human or another living creature of course it will affect them immediatly... Right now... He can died anytime]
Everyone shocked and look to Aaron they want to spoke to him but Aaron spoke first
"I, Aaron Springfield... I swear upon my Ancestor Nagi Springfield the "Thousand Master"... That i will kill you!" With that word an enormous aura gather around Aaron. Everyone surprise when hear this. Their teacher is descendant of the strongest mage in the world, and also what about his name, does that mean he is not Gremory?
"You the descendant of the "Thousand Master"?! The strongest mage in the world other than "Mage of Prodigy"?! Not just that! Do you know if you use Magic Erebea you can died anytime right now?" Kokabiel said with shock
"Your point?" Aaron glare sharply to him and then charge to Kokabiel and surprise him.
THRUST!
Aaron fist connect to Kokabiel stomach and send him flying. Aaron move so fast everyone who look it only look a black shadow that move to above Kokabiel
SLAM!
He slam Kokabiel face to ground and made a large crater.
"LISTEN TO ME YOU STUPID CROW! FOR THE HAPPINESS OF MY BELOVED STUDENT AND THEIR FRIEND I WILL GIVE THEM MY LIFE! AND YOU JUST RUIN ONE OF THEIR HAPPINESS NOW!"
BUAGH!
Aaron kick Kokabiel chest and send him flying. Kokabiel manage to stand from it and he fly above Aaron.
"Damn you human!"
Kokabiel summon an countless number of spear and throw it like a rain to Aaron. Aaron made some black spiral aura below his feet and began to gather energy around his left hand
"Obey the contract, Rastel Mascia, 500 spirit of darkness, GO!"
Aaron shot an 500 dark beam from his left hand
BUAM! BUAM! BUAM! BUAM!
The dark beam and the spear began to colide and explode in sky, but the number of the dark beam that Aaron shot outnumbered Kokabiel spear and many of them manage to hit him.
"GUAGGHHH! Damn you HUMAN! I WILL KI-"
THRUST!
Aaron punch Kokabiel right in face with speed of light and send him flying more high.
"BASTARD!" Kokabiel summon a more spear around Aaron who is fly and cover him from every direction
"DIE YOU INSECT!"
BAMM BAMM BAMMMM
"SENSEI!/ GREMORY!" Everyone shouted, suddenly the light of explosion began to covered by dark aura
"AAAAAARGGGHHHHH!l Aaron release a massive dark energy from his entire body, the dark aura began to consume the light of explosion until it gone. When it gone Aaron still stood unharmed
"I-I-IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN YOU STILL ALIVE?!" Kokabiel ask as he began to desperate
"DIE HUMAN!" Kokabiel shot many spear again toward Aaron
SWOSH! SWOSH! THRUST!
Aaron dodge all of spear with easy and with speed that barely to be seeing by eyes, he punch Kokabiel face once again and send him to the corner of upside barrier
"Just SHUT UP AND DIE! YOU MESS UP WITH MY STUDENT AND MY FRIEND! YOU KILL YOUR OWN PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY FAIL! SOMEONE LIKE YOU DIDNT HAVE A RIGHT TO MOCK MY FRIEND AND MY STUDENT FAITH! OBEY THE CONTRACT! RASTEL MASCIA! KOKURYUU RAIGOU! (The Advent of the Black Lightning of Dragon)" an thin building size Black lightning spear suddenly appear on Aaron hand and he threw it toward Kokabiel. Seeing this Kokabiel create an large spear of light that double Aaron spear
"I will not lose to a merely human like you! I'M ALMIGHTY FALLEN ANGEL KOKABIEL! THE LEADER OF GRIGORI!"
He shouted and also throw it to Aaron
BANG!
The sound of two huge spear colide can be heared the spear began to push each other, even the black spear is more little than Kokabiel spear, the black spear began to crushing Kokabiel spear with fast
"WHAT?! HOW CAN THIS BE?!"
The black spear crushing Kokabiel and stab him in the chest.
*GOUGH!*
Kokabiel coughing blood
"I-I-I-IMPOSSIBLE! ME?! THE MIGHTY FALLEN ANGEL! LOSE AGAINST A HUMAN?! NO! IT CANT BE! GGUARGHHHH!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
The spear then explode, the explosion of it is so big it almost caugh all of them into it, but suddenly Aaron clap his hand and began to chanting another spell.
"Obey the contract, Rastel Mascia, Fairy Sphere!"
A light barrier suddenly wrap the entire explosion into a circle and manage to hold it until it gone, when the dust cleared there are no sign of Kokabiel anymore, only a few black feather that fall.
After that Aaron landed in ground and panting.
"Hhh hhhh hhh AAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHHHHh" Aaron roared at the sky. A light suddenly appear around him and began to warp him, after the light gone he back to his normal form, and then turn to Rias he smile and slowly began to approach them, everyone began to cry and began to run toward Aaron.
"Grey-sensei" everyone except Xenovia hug him
"Fufufu that's not my name, i will tell you girls the reason why i hide my name but for now... We have company" Aaron said to them.
Aaron POV
"Fufufu. Interesting, didn't know you can sense me"
The sudden voice came from the sky. I look into the sky and.
FLASH!
It descended while cutting the abyss sky by sending out a white light. If it came down at that velocity, it would shake the ground and make a crater. It would spread dust for sure.
But that didn't happen. There was a white thing in our sights. A white thing was glowing, which didn't even have a slight shadow in this dark night. It was floating off the ground by an inch. A white plated armour. There were jewels across various locations on the armour. It also had armour on the face so we couldn't see the expression of this person. The eight wings of light growing from the back were giving out a divine glow in the dark night. But I was familiar with the person covered in white armour. It had a different shape and colour, but it was similar… It was identical to the "Boosted Gear Scale-mail"
"Hello Mr. Vanishing Dragon"
Done! with this the Holy sword arc finish. and for world-eater i need you guys opinion about boosted gear or divine dividing. because i cant continue my story if you didnt tell me. please PM or review to the world-eater thanks xDD
