First line might describe this completely.
I'm giving you another chapter today, mainly because I'm busy tomorrow and the day after.
I would have kept it for tomorrow but I doubt I'll be on my computer at all tomorrow.
Anyway, here is the second chapter and the Rating Game which i made the chapter longer for.
Unprecedented? Maybe. Unexpected? Most definitely.
With a minute left to spare until the rating game was meant to begin I teleported in to the club room along with someone else. Underneath our feet was a royal blue magic circle that housed an intricate design of a winding snake with three heads splitting off to form a bouquet design. Icicles rose up from the floor as our bodies appeared in the room sparking shocked looks on the faces of the experienced devils in the room. Both Issei and Asia looked at us in confusion.
Before I was able to leave Leviathan's side, I was taken into a tight hug from the side my right arm was filled with a blissful warmth that showed on my face. Then with a cheerful wave she left.
"...G-Gin-kun, you asked Leviathan-sama for training?"
I know I said someone who was Satan level but you've gotta be stupid to think I went to a Maou for training and actually received it. Actually, can what I did the past ten days be counted as training? This lot probably went all out while I messed about for half of it.
"I know I said Satan-level but you should of known what I meant, you've met him. And about the Ice Maou, she is doing KoG with me. I only met her earlier today."
"Is Leviathan-sama the reason you are late, Gin-sama?"
Stern and bleak, two words that accurately describe Grayfia.
"Let's say she was a percentage of it."
Grayfia went to clarify what I meant but was interrupted by the flashing of a crimson magic circle.
"It's time, please would you all step into the centre of the magic circle."
The rest of the peerage gathered around me as I was already in the magic circle. I had Rias and Koneko to either side of me, they were both in their school uniform just like the others bar Asia. Asia was wearing her clothes from her times as a nun. As the circle activated I could sense the changes in power, although slight for the most part it should be sufficient for Raiser and his bishoujo ensemble.
Surprisingly, Issei held the most improvement and his aura was very different. It was a dragon's aura but it was flipped. A dragon's aura consists of power and passion, two raw ingredients that form ultimate destruction when brought together well. Issei's aura held about 90% passion and 10% power, a very unusual sight for a dragon even if he is only one by Sacred Gear alone.
…
The place we teleported into was the club room with one distinct feature that told me we were in a different realm or dimension. The moon's ray was stronger and possibly more potent. I was thankful that it was the club room because I would be able to feast on snacks until the designated time to start.
(Hello everyone, my name is Grayfia and I'll be the arbiter to this Rating match between the Gremory household and the Phoenix household.)
In the midst of the static I could hear a troubled Grayfia and co trying to restrict a giddy sounding Leviathan. Perhaps they told her about my use of ice magic.
(In the name of my master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be keeping my eye on this match. By using both Rias-sama and Raiser-sama's opinion we created this battlefield. The battlefield for this match is a replica of the school Rias-sama attends to, the 'Kuoh Academy' at a night of the full moon.)
So the moon was intentional? It seems that Rias might be banking on my training and my ability to go rampant at night time along with the full moon.
(The location where both teams were transported will be their base. Rias-sama's base would be the Occult research club room located in the old school building. Raiser-sama's base would be the student council's room located in the new building. For the "Pawns" to use "promotion", please go to the enemy's base.)
I wonder what the promotion system is like. Does it improve everything and make it normal to your body so the power is cost efficient as well? Oh well, it's not really something I have to worry about.
Akeno then started to pass around transceivers so we could all talk while on the go and I summoned my ears and tail before putting the transceiver into my left ear. After putting in the transmitter I took off my scarf and put it in my dimension space as I went to the fridge and took out a carton of milk. As I started to chug it down, the game started and the strategy session commenced.
Sitting on my sofa, I flicked on the setting for magic transfer and the feed showed up in the corner of my glasses to show that Azazel was connected and watching. Using my Senjutsuu I brought up a 3D map of the school and started to look around it while the devils were looking a little miffed. When I looked to see why it was due to the differences in map. Where mine is a full 3D take of the school their's was a colour coded top-down view of it, a pretty basic map.
I spent their whole strategizing time looking around the school just to get ideas for wherever I would be placed. When everyone was now back in the room and putting their equipment on I heard static coming into my ear and eventually Grayfia's voice.
(Gin-sama, please refrain from winning by forcing their bodies into a climax. As Leviathan-sama said to you earlier, you are allowed to go all out. She is also looking forward to see how strong of an ice-magic user you are. Despite what Ojou-sama has put you through, please help her faithfully on this one request.)
Her voice then started to fizzle out along with others in the background as I just simply nodded knowing that there were multiple cameras watching. Telling me this must mean something. A reward maybe? I wonder.
"Gin-kun, are you ready?"
Rias' voice brought me from my corner and to the centre of the room where everyone else was waiting patiently.
"Yup, just gotta summon my armour and I'll'll be ready. Go ahead and say the strategy though."
"Firstly we'll take out the gym. Ise-kun and Koneko will fight the enemies in there until Akeno can charge her magic and then escape when she casts it destroying the vital point. Kiba will be on guard in the nearby forest to take out those who try to flank us. Asia will remain with me until I move which is after the destruction of the gym. Then Akeno will protect us from the sky while myself, Asia, Issei and Koneko go to take on Raiser."
I brought my left index finger to my chin as a thought comes to mind and I interject.
"I'll be on standby at the school field where their last line of defence should be as it's in front of the main school building. My job is to either defeat them or keep them occupied long enough for you to deal with Raiser. Kiba will be joining me when he is finished with any stragglers, if there are any."
"That's correct, Gin-kun. I do not know of your training and I doubt you'd tell me so I feel this is the best type of play."
She spoke back with a smile that slowly raised further in one corner up to a smirk.
"So Gin-kun, what's this about your parents having to go to the police station to get you?"
They heard about that? Probably Otou-san telling Issei for some reason.
"The Governor gave me 6kg of catnip and then I … lose my memory. What I can say is that I did something which made the female customers at the restaurant happy and blush when they saw me the next day."
…
We all stood outside the old school building looking over our equipment waiting for the bell to ring to signal the end of our strategizing time. I stood slightly in front of the rest of the peerage that I'm reluctantly still a part of.
'It's time to show the Underworld the power of those they despise.'
I dropped my right hand down to the side and shaped it like a crescent causing the ice armour to form around my limbs and the two earmuffs/headphones to form around my ears. The white ice with black stripes around my right arm forming a sculpture of a tiger and the blue ice around my left arm forming a gauntlet with spikes that can improve the speed of my hits. The white and icy blue boots that are exceedingly lightweight and fast and the headphones that are simply accessories. Extremely simple armour that only makes me faster.
Even though the ice tiger round my right arm was just a sculpture with focused power in the form of a tiger, I could feel Tsuki's presence in it or should I say my right arm. A blistering warmth that is always ready to sever a limb from a torso. A warmth that fills my whole body with desire, a desire to make what I want mine no matter what it is whether it's trivial or not.
I stretched left and right, kicked both of my heels into the ground causing the engines on them to start purring. I waited and waited while leaning forward for the bell to ring. I officially deny the fact that Rooks are slow, that is something I will not allow while I'm stuck like this.
[RING!]
On the mark of the bell I leant forwards and forced the engines to roar kicking up the speed I could take.I skidded my left foot backwards before pushing off and flying towards the main field while allowing my tail to flutter about reading the wind.
I dropped to the empty main field as the engines kicked back and my tail fed me it's results. The wind was nil but easily manipulated, for someone who could actually use wind magic. I'm stuck with just ice and my Youkai magic or arts as they are called. We Youkai must be animal ninjas.
A few seconds later and I noticed a number of enemies coming towards me. I turned to look at them. There were 2 knights, 2 bishops, 2 pawns and a rook. Raiser believes that I'm the worst of his worries if he is sending this many of them here right now. I wonder how honourable they are.
As they continued to walk towards me at a slow pace I was charging magic in the jaw of the tiger. I stopped the charge after a few seconds and waited for them to arrive. Once they stopped, I quickly brought up my right arm and cocked it back.
"Celsius Calibre."
I sent my right arm forwards and a large beam of ice shot out of the tiger's mouth rocketing towards the girls that were coming my way. The bishop that wasn't Raiser's sister stepped forward to block the attack but all her defensive circle did was allow the power to build up and take over the circle freezing it and cracking it before continuing on blowing a hole straight through the bishop and meeting the fiery defensive circle of Ravel Phoenix who was helped out by Raiser's knight with the large Zweihander.
As the ice scattered to mist up the field Grayfia's voice came into my ear.
(Raiser-sama's first bishop has retired.)
"Oi, Oi, Is a seasoned veteran like Raiser meant to have a servant that is so easily taken out?"
My words were amplified by the smirk that appeared on my face.
"You may be Tsukiyomi-sama but we won't let you win. Ni, Li, get him."
It seemed that Ravel wanted to show her supremacy right now and sent the two cat-girl pawns after me. They more than happily abided to her commands and came at me. I took a readied stance as I waited for them to come towards me, they won't suspect me to be extremely agile due to the rook but they'll expect a decent amount due to being a Nekoshou. Let's surprise them then.
As soon as they arrived they upped their speed further and attacked me from all sides but I easily deflected each punch or kick by a simple guard. They were strong when put together but attacking individually while at speed this close together was not good for them. Their minds were concentrating on too much for them to be invested in this fight. If they aren't going to fight to their best abilities of a double act then I have no time for them. I forced my eyes to shift and they narrowed to cat-like slits as my feline instincts started to take over.
Dropping the decision to guard I slammed the palm of my left hand into the ground.
"Guardian Frost."
With my powers heightened and forcing it into an offensive state, the icicle jutted out of the ground around me in the opposite direction. Instead of defending me by encasing me, they pointed upwards and outwards to catch the two attackers and pierced straight through their bodies leaving them there with blood trickling out of their wounds.
As I stood back up, the unoccupied icicles disappeared leaving the 9 icicles that were piercing into the limbs and torso of Ni and Li. I turned towards them and walked to them concentrating on the blood that was seeping out. Not caring about anything else I started to lick up the blood that was coming out of their wounds.
I could feel the lust inside me rise as I placed my left hand on one of their bodies and pushed it straight down piercing her further through the spikes taking her out and then I moved to the other pawn and did the same.
(2 of Raiser-sama's pawns have retired.)
I focused onto the earpiece I was given and spoke to Rias.
"Don't bother about sending Kiba to me. Both Grayfia and Leviathan said I can go all out so I can rip them limb from limb if I so wish."
Bang! Bang!
I turned my head to the side and saw two different explosions from where the gym used to be. One was riddled with yellow static electricity and the other looked like an explosion from a bomb.
(3 more of Raiser-sama's pawns have retired along with his first Rook. One of Rias-sama's rooks have retired.)
Our first piece is down eh? Shame it wasn't Issei, I hope Koneko is ok anyway.
"You, Knight with the flames, come at me."
Luckily I'm able to deal with this. The tiger is unmeltable and the ice gauntlet is unbreakable so my arms are designed for blocking certain things but not multiple ones so there is a downfall and an extra point that proves Serenity's opinion on it not being that defensive. Who would make an armour designed for speed over defence, seems stupid really.
With her sword of flames out and brandished, she slices down towards me and I catch it in the tiger's jaw while punching out with my left hand only to miss when she uses her speed as a knight to get away. A knight will always be hard to beat with fists when they can move like that.
"I'm happy that you choose to fight but do you have a sword."
"I have many."
'Use the one I gave you as your induction.'
Azazel's voice came out surprising me. The sword given to me when I was inducted into Grigori. I was given it due to my affinity for ice, it was also when I learned of my affinity for ice as the sword was picky of it's master. One true thing I was happy with the devils for.
"Come, Demonic Sword of Ice. Show yourself to your master, in the form of the Vorpal Blade."
Within the clamped jaws of the tiger came a dark blue handle bar that held darkness within it's core. The handlebar jutted out slightly off the mouth and broke off to the left and right diagonally before stopping and bending back inwards before rejoining to form a snowflake as the hilt. The dark blue ice then continued on to form the sleek and thin blade.
Lumi, the hated daughter of a demon king. A girl that was cast aside because she half fallen and half devil. She took her own life and encased herself within the 'Vorpal Sword'. A sword which has been passed down the line for many generations by wealthy devil nobles until it came to Azazel's hands where he kept her until she showed a spark of life towards me and chose me to be her new wielder. While able to talk, she just doesn't trust me enough yet to do so.
My lack of use has caused her to become silent, she hasn't spoken to me for a year or two now. Hopefully it'll spark her again and make her talk again, be happy like she was when Azazel taught me basic swordplay. Restia herself taught me a move which she created while in the sword.
Her demonic energy and aura radiated an eerie coolness that shook the bones of my enemies and caused the flames of the sword in front of me to waver. Vorpal, a type of ice cold enough to disregard warmth. A special type of ice that is near impossible for users of ice-magic to make. Even someone like Leviathan would have a hard time making it, even if she did many years of her life would once made, it is terrifying.
The knight in front of me shook her worries from her head and came at me while fully utilizing the improved speed as a knight. A speed that was easily sensed by my ears and highly improved sight. I slashed forwards with no real aim and clashed into the flames of my opponents blade catching her off-guard.
"Get ready to bleed for me."
I took a single step and the engines activated again sending me straight at the knight. I clamped my left hand around her head causing the ice to start to creep over and firmly secure her head into my grip. The ice continued although not physically, the cold temperature moved into her mind and froze her control over her body making her go limp momentarily.
"Frozen Nightmare."
Her body started to shake as the cold temperature left the segment of her brain that dealt with memory and focused on what's good in her life leaving the hatred to come flowing out. Muffled screams were heard reverberating around in the ice that was obscuring her face from view.
I brought her body up with my arm before roughly slamming her body down into the ground breaking the connection and causing more icicles to form riddling her body with cuts and holes. The combined torturous pain that was both physical and mental was too much for her body to hold, her body was starting to disappear but not for long. I coated my left hand in Ki and placed it on her stomach, just enough for her to give me more blood.
The particles stopped briefly and disappeared. Clenching the sword even tighter in the tiger's jaw I plunged the sword down right between her breasts easily breaking through her chest guard, I stopped the movement briefly as the sword pierces through her skin. Keeping a steady control of the sword I dragged it down her body allowing the blood in her chest to spray out onto me making it want it more and more. I stopped the sword just above her belly button before spinning the sword so the edges of the blade faced her sides. Then using it like a lever, I cut a straight line across her body just as the particles came back to take her away.
(The 3 final pawns of Raiser-sama have been defeated.)
(Rias-sama's Queen has been defeated.)
(Raiser-sama's first knight has been defeated.)
This meant it was 5 on 5, for now at least. Hopefully I can whittle it down further leaving Raiser and his queen behind. I wonder how strong Ravel is, she doesn't even look like she'll fight and that was before I started to cause blood to fly. My tally was now 4 and I had three more to deal with right now. The final rook and knight will probably come at me giving Ravel time to join her brother and keep her safe, that ain't going to happen. The king is that last one you take down, completely overwhelm them before destroying the pinnacle. It's what's meant to be done.
Leaving the pool of blood behind I started to charge towards the remaining three opponents and like I thought both the rook and knight came to block me. I decided to completely ignore them for now and jumped over them, as I hit the ground I boosted the speed to get to Ravel as those two devils turned around.
Quickly catching Ravel, I crashed her body into the ground while using 'Frozen Nightmare'. The icicles piercing her body froze over her regeneration due to their flames and were holding her down on the ground tightly.
"Palm Wave."
Creating an outline of Senjutsuu and Demonic energy around my left hand I thrusted it down into Ravel's stomach breaking through it and instantly sending out a shock-wave that unsettled me slightly. I brought my hand out from the hole caused and her regeneration started up healing her perfectly. Unluckily for me, the ice was only piercing her limbs leaving her torso to regenerate as much as it wanted to.
"Summon Swords: Electric Gate."
Four phantom swords crackling with electricity formed above my head. The four blades drifted down to the floor and stabbed themselves down into the floor splitting into two. One half of each blade stayed in the ground forming a square around myself and Ravel, the other four halves floated up into the sky and formed an electrical cube around myself and Ravel giving me some time to just concentrate on beating her regeneration.
Looking down to her I could see her scared face, a look which devils should have towards Nekoshou. Our power should be feared as it is very strong and destructive. Our race shouldn't have been hindered because the devils didn't like the fact that one of our kind showed their power.
I gently placed my left hand down on top of Ravel's stomach and started to focus on controlling her Ki. It was hard and very troubling, it's a good job I have an alternate way to deal with regeneration. While trying to focus I could hear the knight and rook trying to break open the electrical cube momentarily breaking my concentration. Billions of small bits of data was floating through my mind as I was trying to hurry and find a vital point to start from, with my lack of ability starting anywhere would be bad and possibly improve her regeneration now and in the future.
I found it and started to flood my senjutsuu into her body forcing her to start to convulse as the regeneration was flipped around. The ability to regenerate is a form of keeping your life, flip keeping and you get taking or giving. Right now her 'Phoenix Ability' is pushing it all outwards and is now very mortal, possibly even worse.
Leaving her there to disappear whenever, I broke the electrical cube dispersing the four phantom blades and I took on the angry, aggravated knight and rook. It seemed like my display was not very appreciated by them, I thought it was good at least.
I left dealing with the Knight till last so I blocked her attack with Vorpal and punched her in the stomach sending her flying from my power as a rook alone. I turned back to the rook only to see a fist embedding itself in my chest. It was strong, strong enough to make me cough up blood which I happily did. I opened the jaw of the tiger and the dark blue sword flew up into the air and soared towards the knight.
I spat a bit of blood on the floor as I shouted out to Lumi in the sword.
"Have fun, defeat her if you want to."
I turned my attention back to the rook and was greeted by another fist to the stomach, this time being sent back a metre. I could feel my ribs on my left side straining slightly.
(Raiser-sama's final bishop has retired.)
(Rias-sama's knight has retired.)
4 on 4 now, it's time to begin the finale.
I started to walk towards the rook before I broke into a run while coating my left side in Senjutsuu to fix my ribs and strengthen them further. I kept 'Palm Wave' in effect and opened up my left hand and thrusted my palm towards the rook making her clenched fist meet my open hand. I felt my elbow shake slightly from her strength, it was slightly superior to mine. Then it happened, the shock-wave burst out from my palm and blew her arm away knocking her off balance giving me an opening.
"Second stage."
I took a step forward and thrusted my palm straight into her stomach forcing her body to arch from the power, then her body flew away from me due to the shock-wave that sent out icy blue waves of thin energy that cut small grates into the ground. The waves continued to form along with the rooks body as it flew through the air.
'Come back here.'
As I thought it, the second stage activated forming another forced shock-wave directly on her spine sending her back towards me. I started to charge my ice in the tiger's jaw and waited until she was a few metres away before releasing the super-charged beam.
"Celsius Calibre."
The ice turned into blue energy and shot through the air ripping through her body and turning it into particles.
(Raiser-sama's final rook and knight has retired.)
That brings me up to 6 now, I think. Lumi flew back to me in her sword form before disappearing into my right arm in a black light.
I turned to look at the roof of the main school building and saw a body of crimson armour with yellow spikes facing Raiser. Looking at the others on the building, the one in the armour was Issei as Raiser's queen was behind them with her arms crossed and Asia was healing Rias.
I then started to run towards the main building at a brisk pace to give me enough time to take my left arm to the second stage along with my right arm. I made my left hand take the shape of a crescent and interlocked it with the tiger on my right arm. The sides of the tiger's jaw met the top and bottom of the crescent as the top and bottom of the tiger's jaw met the side of the crescent causing it to shine in a silver light. What came from the silver light was an identical tiger sculpture around my left arm.
Continuing on, I stopped in front of the doors to the school building and I looked to the supports on either side of the door. The one to my left was weaker but it wasn't closer to the centre which the stronger one on my right was. I dug both of my feet into the ground and skidded my left back slightly and I reeled back both fists clenched together forming two angry tigers.
"Cold ..." I let both fists fly straight into the support immediately destroying it and sending multiple vibrations through the building which also tortured my body bringing blood up to my throat and violently out of my mouth as the other building supports snapped bring the whole building down on top of itself. "... Coffin."
That took more out of me as I thought. I took a step back and looked to the sky to see the devils flying above a large block of ice. In the centre of the ice was Issei's body that was turning into particles.
(Rias-sama's pawn has retired.)
"I'm ok with that."
This didn't really do anything but take a lot out of me. I have enough left in me to take Raiser and his queen out, as long as his cockiness is there right now I did take out his sister beating the immortality. The devils above flew down to me, Rias and Asia dropped down by my side as I was starting to pant, and Raiser and his Queen dropped down a few metres away from us.
Both Asia and Rias came to my side, Rias stood beside me and Asia was starting to heal me. I could feel the slight pain in my ribs disappear and through the manipulation of Senjutsuu, I used her healing on my stamina bringing it back slightly to stop my panting for now.
"You did well Ice-cat. You'd be a great addition to my peerage, you were even able to take out my sister and still have enough to destroy a building but you are paying for it right now."
"Who cares Raiser. Why fight if you aren't going to go all-out? It's disrespectful to not go all out and I will continue to do so."
"A warrior's spirit, huh? Is any of this for your beloved master?"
I started to laugh but was quickly stopped as a pain in my chest caused me to bend forwards slightly clutching onto my chest. I spat out some blood that had collected before speaking.
"Beloved master? How could I like this red-haired bitch?"
"Oh … someone who doesn't like the Gremory clan? It's unheard of for a servant of Gremory to have dissatisfaction let alone show it."
"Wouldn't you hate her if she kills you just to make you a part of your peerage?"
"Then what about trading or going rogue?"
"Going rogue sounds nice but it won't get rid of this hated existence that is now a part of me, plus it would bring more hate to my race that is highly unneeded. Trading isn't an option either, pretty much all of you devils are the scum of the Earth. I'd rather be eaten alive by rabid animals but here I am, stuck with a stubborn, irritating child that thinks a collar will allow her to control me. Thankfully, she is starting to learn even though it's forced by leaky fluids."
I'm not waiting any longer, I'll just end this. I slowed my breathing as I took a deep breath.
'Feline Blitz.'
My tail that was swaying slightly picked up it's speed and started to shake around uncontrollably until it became a blur and stayed that way for seconds. Once the blur died down, my tail had split into two and I felt the power rise filling my body to the brim with power and speed.
'Time to get rid of that Queen he loves so much.'
I shimmer out of view and appear again directly behind his Queen with the jaws of the tigers around each shoulder. I clenched my fists bringing the jaws down on the shoulders feeling a bit of tension before completely breaking through and biting off her arms making them dangle from the clutch of the tiger's jaws allowing her blood to pour.
I released the grip on the arms as I threw them at Raiser giving his Queen's body time to drop to the floor. I allowed balls of magic to form within the mouths of the two tigers, they collect and collect until they fill it's whole jaw and obscures a portion of it's face.
"Raiser. I've been allowed to fight as I wish with no harm to come to me or my race, you are going to be without a Queen for a while."
I thrusted both tigers into her body causing the two balls of magic to fluctuate.
"Frigid Blast."
The two balls exploded sending shards of ice all over the place causing Raiser to start regenerating and Rias to put up a defence circle.
(Raiser-sama's Queen has … retired.)
That pause excited me, it meant that it went wrong but neglect to say what. She may actually be alive if there is enough of her body left behind. I stayed there with a smile on my face and allowed my armour to disappear, I was just waiting for some form of retaliation.
"You Bastard!"
There it is. Show it to me.
I turned towards Raiser as a fist covered in flames comes towards me. It was slow enough to dodge but I had no such plan. The punch came straight at me and connected with my stomach. It was a good, strong punch but nowhere close to his rook. With my weakened state, it was enough to cause damage.
My organs were rattled inside my body, blood was filling my throat at a rate that excited me. It's time to kill this bastard in one hit.
"Triton."
A large silver lance appeared in my bloody hands, it's height more than easily trumped my own. It was just over 15 foot in length, it was a towering lance than shone brightly in the moonlight.
I looked towards Raiser whose anger didn't falter as I stared him down. His gaze was locked on me and barely taking in the grace of Triton. The side of his lip rode up in anger, his wings of fire burst from his back and started to flare up considerably. I could see the colour of his face redden in anger. He clenched his right fist and started to cover it in fire, the ball of fire that engulfed his fist grew bigger and bigger like he was trying to rival my lance. A feat that was beyond him, it barely even reached my short size. His anger exploded as he sent the flame-covered fist towards me.
His anger was consuming him, he was straining himself with the fire to try and kill me in one shot. It was naïve and stupid, it leaves himself open.
Instead of easily dodging, I place the tip of the lance in the line of fire and blocks his attack which rattled my body on collision. It's strong but weak enough to lose a lot of it's power while travelling down my long lance. The added damage from 'Lunar' magic was enough to weaken it further and destroy his hand in the process.
Raiser stood back and tried to catch his breath, only I didn't let him. I took a step towards him and pierced Triton straight through his chest causing him to scream out in pain. The initial strike would hurt by itself but the lingering burn effect from the 'Lunar' magic was making his regeneration go haywire as his 'immortal' body was trying to fix his body.
"As long as there is fire and wind a Phoenix can regenerate but when none of those two things exist in space neither does your immortality. As long as my spear is inside of your body, you regeneration won't work."
His eyes widened as he heard my words and took notice of the failed regeneration of his body. He than frantically tried to get off the lance. I started to laugh at his feeble attempt to get away.
"Can't get away Raiser? How about I end this by clamping you in place."
The metal of the lance opened up around Raiser's body and pushed towards each other increasing the 'Lunar' effect and creating a hold on his body.
"Vacuum."
The open holes of the lance started to emit pure darkness that held twinkles of light. The darkness covered Raiser's body and the smoke from regeneration stopped and it was replaced by blue particles.
"Your cockiness was well-liked Raiser. I defeated half of your peerage by myself. 7 of your prized girls and you. I may only be the descendant of the Japanese Shinto God of the Moon but I will never be beat by someone like you, a worthless asshole that is worse than a murderous tomato."
(Raiser Phoenix-sama has been defeated. Rias Gremory-sama is the victor.)
…
I appeared along with Rias and Asia back in the club room in our dimension, I took a quick stretch before plopping myself down on my secluded sofa allowing the fatigue and pain to take over from adrenaline and cause a painful riot throughout my body.
With the opening of my fridge came a long winded yawn, yet again disguised as a 'Nya'. I took out a small carton of milk and started to drink it slowly. I looked to the devils in the room, they were all injured in some way with ripped clothes and cuts open. If it was by appearance alone, I wouldn't look like I was in a fight but look like I had a splitting headache from the painful grin I was wearing. The 6 devils in the room looked at me with surprised faces, wide eyes were something that I liked.
As much as I enjoyed that fight, I feel a little off about it. I wasn't expected to be strong at the start and it showed, their attacks were nothing against my body and did nothing to affect it. Raiser's rook, she was good. She had a strong solid punch, something that made me feel excited. Despite the hatred of devils, I am happy that it is a Rook. The type of power it gives is exciting, nothing can beat the raw emotions made from a good fist fight.
I felt my magic start to circulate again after being drained by the use of Frigid Blast and Cold Coffin. Even with the dramatic drop of magic usage per spell, it was the first time I used them so they took a tremendous amount of my reserves to utilize. Two magic circles appeared in the room, one of Gremory and the other of Leviathan. Out from the magic circles came 5 people, 4 from Gremory and 1 from Leviathan. The people who arrived was Rias' family and Leviathan, her family went straight to her as Leviathan came to me.
"Well done Gin-chan~. You took out 8 opponents in your first Rating game and two of them were Phoenixes."
"Thanks Leviathan."
"Mou Gin-chan~. Call me like you did at the meet-up."
Ughh … the meet-up. She went by the name 'Sera Levia', disrespect to a Maou will just cause me more annoyances. I suppose I'm safe for the time being though.
"Levia-chan."
A childish smile appeared quickly on her face, just from me saying 'Levia-chan'. Way too easy to please.
"Tsukiyomi-kun."
I looked away from Leviathan who had joined me on my sofa and saw Sirzechs Lucifer with his Queen, Grayfia and his mother and father. I sighed a little at his voice.
"Yes, Lucifer?"
My poor attitude did not go unnoticed but was let go at the tired sound in my voice.
"I want to thank you and apologize to you."
I raised my eyebrows slightly in interest.
"I would like to thank you for saving my little sister from her engagement, my parents feel the same way."
I just nodded to him simply.
"I do not care for your thanks. Saving her was just an unlucky by product, I am much more interested in the apology that the Crimson Satan has for me, a member of the Nekoshou race."
My arrogant tone riles each of them up but strangely enough, it was let go again. Mainly due to Leviathan beside me who was holding a slightly pleased smile. The other part for being that they understand my hatred and my desire to not be on good terms for what they did to my race. I would only get so far with this though, I am face to face with one of their Maous, after all.
"I would like to apologize for my sister's behaviour to you and the collar that she put on you. She had told me that she was having trouble with a new familiar she had found, she had said it was stubborn and rebellious while refusing to heed to her commands. I was a little sceptical as to why it accepted her if it isn't listening to her but I gave in and made that collar for her."
He must have noticed it during the game at some time, I bet the cameras on me were viewed a lot.
"I will take the collar off of you and as a reward, I will get you something you want."
A present I want huh? One off the Maou no less, that seems good.
"About the collar, just get rid of the electrocution and the self-destruct system in it. I actually like the design. For the prize, I want a car. I'm a little fed-up with public transport."
A small crimson magic circle appeared around his index finger for a few seconds before the sound of a door unlocking echoed throughout the room. I felt a small weight be lifted from around my neck along with the disappearance of the film that Azazel had placed on it.
"I will make a license for you and use my magic to allow you to drive in Japan. Do you have a preference for a car?"
"I do. A Jaguar XKR-S GT."
"I will have it here in a few days along with your license."
"Gin-chan."
Leviathan's childish tone from beside me brought everyone's attention to her, I slowly turned round to look at her face which was still smiling. I was anticipating something, with what I know of her, which I admit is brief, I'll need to wager slightly.
I tilted my head towards her slightly and got her to continue.
"What about acting and stuff in the Underworld with me?"
That was … I'm not entirely sure how to put it. She doesn't sound like a Maou at all, no real authority or nothing.
"That type of fame is annoying. I don't want the Gremorys getting anything from work that I have done, that's why I don't do those shitty devil contracts and my work is paid to my human account then into the devil one. My money increases while being unnoticed for the most part. If you can do it so the Gremory clan gets nothing from it then I'm game."
I might be giving the devils satisfaction from this in the end but I'll be doing something that I want to do. My hatred for them may be strong but not so strong it stops me from doing what I want just to not make them happy.
Leviathan started to think of this before an actual light bulb lit up above her head. I may have been imagining it though.
"What about becoming an Extra Demon? You aren't technically improving the devils at all, you are improving the reputation of demons as a whole upon yourself. No kinds of proceeds will go to Gremory, the only problem is that as long as you are a part of Rias-chan's peerage then some devils will put the dots together."
A smart thing came from her mouth, I was slightly surprised. She was right though, as long as I'm Rias' Rook I will always be affiliated with her. The only thing I can do is become a High-class devil as quickly as possible and break away.
"Then that's fine by me. A few bits of devil politics is enough to deal with so my accomplishments aren't treated as those of this childish red-head's."
The smile on Leviathan's face grew further making her close her eyes. As much as I found myself wanting to stare, I couldn't help but feel something behind the smile. Something was out of place but I couldn't tell what. While we were sitting down, Leviathan's magic circle appeared underneath us. Sirzechs quickly took a hold of my shoulder and whispered into my ear.
"Please continue on as my sister's rook and keep this manner with her. The way she acted towards you was out of her being spoilt as a child, something that was done my father and myself. I feel that the way you act will force her to out grow it and mature as a person quickly to meet this harsh world, as thanks and incentive your new clan will have both Lucifer and Leviathan backing it."
As the circle activated to start teleporting us, I nodded towards him blankly and only just saw a small smile adorn his lips.
The next day saw the rise of a new 'Extra Demon' clan.
This was somehow easy to write, i'm really surprised.
Next chapter hits the Underworld for info on backgrounds of Serafall and Extra Demons.
Vorpal sword is a mixture of things. It's background is made up but the idea came from 'Seirei Tsukai no Kenbu' with the detail/appearance of the Vorpal sword from Tales of Xillia.
Well, i'm off now. Ciao-nya.
