I do not own DxD or RWBY
- xXx -
The ground shook as the fake dimension of Dimension Lost Georg struggled to withstand the power and might of three different people combined. Georg immediately felt the type of magic it was and was surprised to feel Cao Cao's signature in that attack without activating Balance Breaker and Truth Idea.
Did his leader reach another milestone? Or was it the nature of the Dimensional Gap affecting the Ultimate Sacred Gear…
"Ow Ow OW!" Georg saw Jeanne stumbled a bit as her dragon struggled to wrestle the possessed Kyuubi. Georg was fighting the ladies remotely as he tried to maintain his magic circle and possession of Yasaka while these two used Holy Power to neutralize his machination. And honestly, it is costing him to sweat a little with the potency of Incarnation Anthem and the sheer brute strength of the Holy Sword Dragon.
"LINTTTT!" Jeanne called out to the fighting artificial human covered in Holy Fire, "You think that was Jaune?!"
"That definitely felt like his Semblance!" Lint answered back by calling out, "But it is mixed with holiness similar to my Longinus – maybe he is fighting Cao Cao now."
Ahh… so Jaune Arc was behind the attack and was one of the three people he felt. Truly, that man is something to behold, but despite that, the attack is not enough to destroy his balance breaker; it was designed for one True Dragon.
AWOOOOO!
Georg turned and saw the flying Lint suddenly dived and tackled Yasaka to the ground before demonic frost exploded around the Kyuubi and buried her in layer and layer of demonic ice. Followed by a dome of Enforced Holy Swords.
Turns out these pests are more capable than Cao Cao initially thought, even without the Hero Faction's special training and tools. He he, at least now Georg has a true challenge.
-xXx-
Cao Cao looked at the wipe-out landscape of a fake Kyoto and can only look at it with awe.
"Impressive, has anyone told you two that you almost act like the Heavenly Dragons?" He asked as he tapped his shoulder with his spear, "Adam absorbs powers and reflects them back to the enemy, while Arc 'boosts' himself and is capable of sharing that 'boost'." He turned to face both hunters with their blades drawn and Jaune's shield deployed.
Both Jaune and Adam can only raise their eyebrows at the conclusion; Jaune only had a few seconds to amply Adam and the samurai only used his semblance once in front of Cao Cao, yet he came up with such an accurate comparison. Although they are not Ddraig and Albion's hosts, they both admit that their individual Semblances almost act like the Boosted Gear and Divine Divide respectively.
"Even now, I feel it – being faced by an absolute force of nature, the top predator of the food chain. The catch is, it does not feel of that of a Dragon, or any supernatural being…" Cao Cao said as his keen eye analyzed their posture.
The hair on the hunters' necks stood up as they felt Cao Cao gazed – being reminded of one person who one time had power in both might and mind.
Cinder Fall
Experience with that bitch told them both on how dangerous Cao Cao's mind is… but also something else.
They relaxed a little, but gripped their blades more tightly…
"I see. You are animals, the natural animals of mother nature – beings who don't have magical power, but rely on their natural gifts and forged their way to the top: Lions, bears, eagles, sharks." Cao Cao smiled as he believed he figured Jaune and Adam out, "You are not kings or gods, you two are… Hunters." The Chinese looked at Jaune, "Always stalking," then he looked at Adam, "Always hunting for your next prey."
Both Hunters didn't reply, they both stay still, like a tiger ready to pounce. And Cao Cao felt it, it just even made him feel reassured of his conclusion.
"So maybe that is why you have that special ki; Dragons have their own unique ki because of their dominance in the hierarchy, but who would have thought that you two can develop a special ki by just being a predator, then again my people developed generations of martial arts after animals."
Jaune held his vibrating silver sword tightly; analyzing Cao Cao for his own weakness, flaws, and openings – unfortunately, the man showed too many openings for his kind of mind and impression.
He is opening himself as bait or he is too confident to even make a defense.
Whatever it is, it probably stems from that blue spear in Cao Cao's hand.
"Hunters, I think that title suits us to a tee." Jaune spoke, "That makes me want to ask, is that a compliment or an insult?"
"Neither, I am just stating something I observed. Animals do have strengths, but I think they lack potential and remain subservient to humans."
"Well, isn't that racist? Considering that you are all so obsessed with humanity's place at the food chain?" Adam asked.
"Well, animals can't wield Sacred Gears – and no, I do not think humanity can eliminate all supernatural, that is why we the Hero Faction hit weak points and avoid obvious fortresses such as the Biblical Factions."
"So why fight this fight in the first place?"
"Oh, as funny as it sounds." Cao Cao then lifts his spear and gave it a caring look, "I believe its fate; fate brought me here in the first place, armed with the greatest weapon and God's Dying Will. That it is my destiny to be the first human to kill a god."
Jaune saw Cao Cao for what he really is, through the perfectly crafted mask, years as a general and Cao Cao's own emotion, Jaune finally know what Cao Cao's real motivation is.
He is simply a battle maniac armed with the biggest and meanest stick – literally.
Hero Faction was merely an army for him to use, and his flimsy sales pitch with the True Longinus most probably attracted the lost souls of Sacred Gear users.
Social Reform is not Cao Cao's vision. Ideals of heroism were just used as a shiny bait for people to join, this man is like any other person in power, be it natural and supernatural, from Earth or Remnant.
A selfish man uses people for his own desires.
And from the negativity Adam was emitting, he figured it out too.
"… like looking at the mirror." He whispered.
"Hmmm I'm sorry, what was that?"
"You are one selfish son of a bitch…"
"Oh? And what makes you say that?"
"Fate, destiny, your obsession with your Hero's name." Adam spoke, "It reminds of me – a man with no family, no childhood, no love. Just pain and sadness."
"Oh, you can blame the supernatural for that."
"You are using that as an excuse, and unfortunately, it is getting tiresome."
Cao Cao only sighed as he pointed out the tip of his spear to them, "Well I think that is enough talk…"
Cao Cao didn't move as he for the first time in a while is finally in a stance, a simple one, but an effective one too.
Well, simplicity is Jaune's specialty.
Jaune threw a glowing object at Cao Cao in great speed, his semblance applied his arm and coated the object brightly! Cao Cao merely lifted his spear to cut the incoming glowing object. It was fast, but Cao Cao was leagues faster than anything Jaune can throw. So, he cut the object with little effort too.
PUFF
And consequently, opened a canister full of tear gas. The chemical properties struck his face before he even was aware of what was happening, swelling his eyes and nose!
CRACK!
But his ears are functioning fully as he blocked a katana from slicing his neck! Adam brought his sword down as the blue shaft held onto his blade, even with his eyes hurt, the bastard still has crazy senses.
Suddenly Cao Cao jumped far as the ground beneath him exploded with an amber-rust aura! Midair, Cao Cao blocked a strike from above as Jaune slammed his spear onto him! The hero merely twirled his spear as the blade suddenly zoomed into Jaune's neck!
Bark! Chomp!
Zwei jumped and bit the golden ornaments of the spear! Using his weight to swing his body and force the spear to a lower trajectory, missing Jaune entirely. Knowing what happened, Cao Cao kicked Jaune hard as the hunter felt his air being punched out of him! The kick created distance for both of them as the men slammed to the ground.
Cao Cao suddenly shrunk the length of the spear as the still biting Zwei was pulled towards the hero, and felt his doggy throat being squeezed!
"Interesting," the hero commented through teary eyes, "even this animal has that special ki, this is the next First Generation Sun Wukong?"
ZOOM!
Cao Cao had to throw Zwei and hold his spear with both hands as he blocks another spear, glowing in draconic power! The hero was pushed back, as his boots dug up the dirt, but The Ultimate Sacred Gear bore the weight of a Dragon King with no problem.
But Ascalon didn't need to beat the True Longinus as it only served as a distraction when the hero saw the corgi glowing in golden ki, before jumping beside Adam, and the samurai hitting him with a flaming katana like a baseball!
Zwei broke the sound barrier tenfold as he sped toward the mean human! Carving the ground below by his wake.
Cao Cao can only stare at a fireball zoom at him and feel the force and flames smack his face! The Hero flipped multiple times in the air and flew away for about a quarter mile before landing on his feet.
He held his face, only to reveal he is bleeding with a wounded eye.
"Interesting, so that is your strength – teamwork. Not new and honestly a less used tactic by many." Cao Cao was too far for the hunters to here but casually says as he plucked out a red vile, before splashing it to his face. The effects were instant as the damaged and hurting face of Cao Cao healed immediately including all the joint damage he endured for the Ascalon Spear.
Jaune for his part used his semblance to heal any damage he has taken, making both parties back they were at square one…
…but now Cao Cao is at the advantage.
"My turn."
Cao Cao held his spear and swung it in a wide sweep. Even though his opponents were about a quarter mile away from him, both hunters ducked as a holy blade nearly cut them, Cao Cao continued his swing turned in a 360 spin, and he swung his spear low just as the corgi behind him dodge the blade.
The spearman continued his flow as he elegantly brought his spear for an upper ward strike toward Jaune. Both hunters saw the blue shaft of the spear elongated to an impossible length, as the extremely long spear slammed into Jaune with incredible speed and weight!
Jaune held his shield with both hands as his feet cracked the ground! His joints throbbed in pain from the sudden impact while every muscle strained against the attack. Adam and Zwei closed into the attack, with Zwei now being closer to the human's exposed back!
Then the back end of the spear extended as the blunt tip punched the air out of the corgi!
Adam sped forward in lightning, he closed in a second and aim for the human's neck.
Jaune still bearing the weight of the spear, suddenly felt relief as the blade ground away from him with sparks while Adam could only roll with his speed to the ground as the spear shrunk faster than him to a length as tall as him.
Cao Cao aim low as his spear ground against a katana being held by a prone samurai.
Jaune saw what was happening and ran to Cao Cao to save him – although he is not as fast as Adam, his semblance allowed him to blink into a blur, hoping to save his ally.
But once again, the back end of the spear extended as Cao Cao twirls his weapon, and the end slammed at Jaune's side!
Jaune's shield rang as the blue shaft raced and crashed into his arm. His body flashed gold from the impact. Then Jaune shrank his shield as he grabbed the blue shaft with a vice grip, then heaved and pulled Cao Cao away from Adam!
Cao Cao's world blurred as the brute strength of Jaune manipulated his spear before he felt himself in the air, then slammed down on the grown! The he was lifted by his spear, then slammed down again! Then Jaune dragged the spearman to the ground like a ragdoll.
This happened a few times as Jaune used the True Longinus as literal leverage to hurt the hero.
The spearman tasted dirt – anger bubbled as his very own weapon was used to fight him in such a barbaric way!
"ENOUGH!" Cao Cao called with wrath as he shrank the spear's length, bringing Jaune to him at incredible speed! Only for Jaune's fist to meet Cao Cao dirt covered face as Jaune used the momentum to his advantage!
For Cao Cao, he swallowed dirt as the aura-clad fist slammed his jaw before another fight slammed into his face! Then an elbow! Then another!
[BALANCE BREAK! POLAR NIGHT LONGINUS CHAKRAVARTIN!]
Cao Cao then exploded in light, with his spear glowing brighter! The entirety of it now glowing blue with terrifying divine power.
Jaune was pushed back by the sudden spike of light as his body glowed gold, he stood up in time to see seven halos being absorbed by the True Longinus as it entered its balance breaker form! Its wielder had a feral look as the once pretty boy's face is now covered in dirt and blood, his uniform and beautiful silk garment totally ruined.
He suddenly blinks at Jaune's personal spear and thrust his spear!
DONG!
A lifetime of experience drove Jaune to expand his shield in time to block the divine strike!
SLASH SLASH THRUST!
Jaune only saw a blue light as he blocked each strike with franticness – no amount of training with Peng can make him compete with this Chinese warrior! The only reason why he isn't killed yet is that while each strike by Cao Cao was immaculate, the light basically telegraphed the next strike, that and Tranquil is giving him hints about the emotional spikes of Cao Cao.
But he missed some strikes, as the divine weapon pierced and penetrated some parts of his body, his aura being pushed to the limit to protect its user. And through all the pain, Jaune didn't activate Tranquil, not yet. As he waited for a certain Corgi to get close enough with Ascalon in his maw.
Cao Cao then jumped and gained some distance from Jaune as he elongated his spear and lifted it up! But just as was about to bring it down, the color of his entire body flickered for a moment.
It didn't lift his rage or provide clarity, but it was enough to make the Chinese confused about what the hell happened as his potent adrenaline disappeared for a moment, then slammed back at him with full force.
Whatever, as Cao Cao brought down his spear!
The glowing divine spear slammed to the ground! Dust rose as the ground broke. And Interestingly enough, Cao Cao didn't feel the usual impact when he kills someone with his weapon, instead, it was vibrating as the dust cleared and Jaune held his spear against the True Longinus. Glowing in amber-rust against the blue divine.
-xXx-
For the first time in a long time, Adam felt fear. No, it is not the usual fear every species feel when their life is sort of threatened or something will be taken for them. It is the kind of fear that only happened to him in his first life as an abused child worker for the SDC.
He was Terrified, petrified, and mortified… by the power of the True Longinus Balance Breaker. Of course, there was the obvious consideration of Cao Cao using it, but never did Adam believe it will be this powerful as seven orbs were absorbed to the spear and it shine entirely of blue light.
-xXx-
Dragons are the "highest" versions of life. To the point that it earned the absolute hatred of an Ever-loving God that it created an actual curse, Samuel's Curse.
That is why Jeanne felt somewhat frustrated when her Balance Breaker Dragon struggled against Yasaka, even with the help of Lint, bringing the beast down was harder than expected. And it didn't help that the weirdo wizard with glasses thwart their efforts by reinforcing or installing the spell they neutralized with great speed, and the occasional explosive spell launched to them.
Suddenly, she felt an extremely Holy Pulse. The bombardment from the wizard stopped while the magic circles around Yasaka depowered as no one backed them up anymore… That was their chance.
Lint once again powered Dainsleif and buried Yasaka with ice, then she covered her with even sturdier swords as a dome – Yasaka struggles for a moment before she calmed down in a jittery state. Jeanne saw Lint move on to her next target which was the magic circle for Great Red, so Jeanne was ready to fight the wizard head-on!
She ran fast toward him as she found him somehow distracted – but when she was about to attack him, she hear him say, "Cao Cao, is he that good to deserve your Balance Breaker." He said in complete awe.
And she saw it, her brother's spear vs the Holy Spear. Jeanne always had this sense of confidence that her brother can do anything, especially with the reveal of his past. Jaune really wonders and is often confined with her on how come he is well known to the supernatural world when his job is to only kill monsters. But how could he not gain that fame when he killed many since 16 who only uses the infamously soft silver sword?
She saw her brother slam the holy blade to the ground as he burst forward with aura toward Cao Cao. The spearman jumped as his opponent's weapon missed him before he made a swing in mid-air. Jaune blocked the blue light as sparks and power collided, his enemy continuously swung from the distance as Jaune parried with his spear. Even from a distance, Jeanne can feel the power of both spears.
Jaune backstepped in time as the holy spear nicked the bridge of his nose, his aura made literal sparks upon contact, but Jaune didn't hesitate to use Cao Cao's momentum and slammed the spear away from him. Cao Cao jerked and temporarily lost balance at the sudden force of his weapon when Jaune zoomed in and thrust!
TING!
Cao Cao blocked the strike in time with the back end of his weapon away from his face – then Jaune poured aura into Ascalon. The Dragon Spear near its target's head exploded with a dragon aura.
DONNN!
Cao Cao was launched to his side as he smashed into like a ragdoll before getting up on his feet with grace… Jeanne could actually see him shaking as he held his face with grunts and moans of pain.
Cao Cao roared in rage as he glared at her brother – revealing that half of his face is burnt and bloodied, "JAUNE ARC!"
But as he screamed in pain, Jaune was already upon him with a glowing amber-rust spear and blue eyes of absolute coldness. The hero always prided that he could kill gods, buddhas, and Satans, but the man in front of him looked like death…
He would have thought that he would face death in the form of gods, or spirits. But now he saw death in the form, of a mere predator. And he is the prey.
[CAKKARATANA!] Cao Cao screamed loud, as his voice echoed through the dimension, as divine power was invoked.
"Wha—!" Georg wanted to scream in shock before an orb shot from Cao Cao and slammed into Ascalon Spear!
KAAABOOOOOOMMM!
Jeanne suddenly felt being pushed by extreme force as the ground shook and debris flew around. She created a dome of swords to protect herself; she could only hope that Lint, Sieg, Adam, and Zwei will make it out alive or unharmed. It took some time, but the shaking stopped. She took a peek from her dome, and her heart dropped.
A huge crater was formed, and at the center of it was Ascalon Spear – now broken. The shattered spear sizzled in draconic power in amber-rust, before it depowered and lost its color.
"Cakkaratana – Wheel Treasure," Georg said in awe, "the power to break any weapon – I only could imagine if it was used against Zeus' Thunder Bolt."
Jeanne ignored that info as she looked around for her brother, her heart bursting out of her chest as seeing such a weapon can mean his loss.
A flicker, she saw a gold flicker and spotted two men. One held a blue spear the other was prone on the ground, flickering in gold before it shattered. Jeanne's teeth clenched as she saw her brother's aura broken.
Her breathing became frantic. Without his aura then her brother is powerless! What can she do?! She doesn't have an aura! Why can't she help her brother, in his time of need?! She was always the one being protected – he was always the one being harmed.
And amid the intense stress, something clicked. Something clicked with her Sacred Gear as she felt cold steel crawl on her skin.
-xXx-
That reminded him of someone self-destructing with their aura, only that he is boosting said aura too. Jaune found himself on his sides, with plenty of blood, fractured bones, and sure enough – a broken aura.
It was a good thing he placed his semblance to its maximum to charge Ascalon Spear, even with the explosion of the weapon, he was prepared for the blast… sort of.
Everything was going so well… curse my luck
Jaune scanned around for his teammates; he knows that Adam and Zwei were within the blast range – he could only hope they are alive.
"Well, well…*cough*…well" someone spoke as he saw Cao Cao in front of him. His spear is still in hand but it is not glowing anymore. His clothes were now rags and covered with so much blood. But even then, he remained standing.
"And they say I have crazy endurance…" Jaune said
"Please… I genuinely believe you have another fight in you." Cao Cao then pointed his spear at him with a clearly pained stance.
Jaune, in so much pain, merely stood up and unsheathed his sword. Without his aura, the weapon is truly a soft sword weapon – it will never compete with a Sacred Gear.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Cao Cao suddenly laughed with utmost joy, "I truly don't know how should I see you— a threat, a potential companion, or a rival" he then gripped his spear, "It is a pity that you will die here an—"
Before Cao Cao could finish, an orange and white armored figure tackled him away from Jaune!
The figure had thrusters on its back as it had a draconic look and design. Jaune would have assumed that it was the White Dragon Emperor, however.
Cao Cao was thrown to the soil and his blood spilled, the figure slammed to the ground with unriddled power which was also holy.
There Jaune saw the figure better — it had a female shape with all its edges sharpened like a sword. And by its pauldrons rest the golden Arc Insignia.
The figure stomped the ground as multiple holy swords erupted at Cao Cao's feet. He jumped in time, but mid-air was punched by the armored figure one again as she flew and carried him. Through the air, she continued her onslaught as her fist sprouted Wolverine claws then slammed it to the hero's torso!
"AGGRHH! FUCK THIS!" [ITHERATANA!]
Suddenly an orb slammed into the figure as her armor dispersed and revealed one Jeanne Arc!
"What?!" That is all she can say as she and Cao Cao plummets to the ground. Jaune wanted to catch his sister but winces as his bones throbbed.
THUNDER!
A lightning streak caught the falling Jeanne as Adam plucked her out of the sky, and landed beside Jaune. The brother took a better look at Jeanne and saw that she was exhausted, like when Lint first unlocked her balance breaker.
ZOOM!
Jaune silver sword vibrated hard, as he moved in time to block the True Longinus! The pole was thrown at him from a great distance as it glowed in tired might, but suddenly its splendor vanished as his silver sword endured the strike, and absorbed the blue light. The spear then zipped back to its wielder who looks as worse as ever.
"Can my day get any worse?" He spoke
Suddenly the dimension's sky cracked open as draconic energy similar to Ascalon skyrocketed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH! At least Great Red —- never mind. I blame you for this karma Jaune Arc!" Cao Cao sighed defeatedly as a green dragon came out of the crack
"CAO CAO!" A monkey with a staff yelled as he jumped off the dragon and landed beside them. He wore traditional Buddhist clothes with some futuristic shades.
"You prankster, this is where you have been hiding all along? If it wasn't for that special ki of these two and Ascalon, then I wouldn't have found you!"
"Speaking of Ascalon, WHERE IS THAT DRAGON-MAGICIAN! He owns me that book he borrowed from Merlin!" The dragon yelled in obvious frustration.
"Yu-long, make sure you keep that Kyuubi stays sedated and I will feed you Kyoto cuisine."
"I DON'T WANT THAT, I WANT ASCALON!"
The monkey sighed as Adam asked him, "You just considered a terrorist a prankster."
"That was sarcasm, Adam Taraus. If anything that man is a poison to our society with his faction."
"It is an honor to be called as such from First Generation Sun Wukong."
Jaune looked at the monkey as everything slowly clicked. He didn't want to assume if Sun and Neptune reincarnated as the First Gen Sun Wukong and Ocean God Neptune respectively. But those mannerisms and smoking habits reminded him too much of a retired Sun.
But he doesn't want to confirm especially how sensitive his situation is, and it didn't help that he cannot see First Gen's eyes because of those shades.
ZOOM!
Jaune sword vibrated again as the divine spear rushed to Sun Wukong!
Blocked!
"Hmmm... you say fighting the gods will be your mission, yet you don't have the endurance for a long fight!" Sun blocked the weapon with a mere finger, "You are too injured to fight me, boy!"
"Cao Cao, we got our needed data, we can leave now." Georg suddenly appeared in the mist beside the spearman with a heavily wounded Thrud with cursed bruises carrying Leo.
"Well, this is goodbye now." Cao Cao called out.
"Fuck that, Adam!" Jaune yelled as the samurai charged his semblance.
"You want to take my job from me? Very well just this once" First Gen said as tap Adam with his staff.
Adam suddenly illuminated red as empowering ki flooded his veins.
Then he shot a concentrated aura disc at them!
ZOOOOOMMMMM!
Cao Cao looked too tired to move as Thrud stepped in and blocked the attack!
DONNNNNNN!
The power clapped the air as Aura fought Asgardian steel, but Thrud had the strength to parry it! However.
Slice!
"Argh!"
The disc hit Georg and sliced his arm off. The wizard fell on his knees with extreme pain, the entire fake dimension began to collapse and the mist subsides.
Cao Cao then stomped his spear...
[Assaratana!]
... a light orb touched each of his allies as they disappeared quickly.
"Hmmm teleportation technique inspired by The Seven Jewels of Chakravartin? Interesting." Sun Wukong commented as fake Kyoto began to disappear and returned them all back to the real world.
-xXx-
"Oka-sama!" Kunou cried unto Yasaka's bosom as the mother stoke her hair.
Jaune would have watched the lovely sight but was busy healing Jeanne, Lint, and Sieg. His aura doing its healing function and restoring the demonic wielders' lifeforce. "I can only heal you guys this much." Jaune finished as his own aura began to heal his wounds and bones, "The Vatican can heal you guys to full health."
"I am too tired to complain," Jeanne said as she lay very still.
"Jaune," Adam called out, "Thank you. How can I repay you?"
"Think nothing of it." Jaune offered his hand for a shake as Adam took it. There was an understanding of what happened.
"Actually how about an alliance with Heaven?" Lint suggested.
"That is something I am willing to do," Yasaka said as she approached them. She walked with a limp and had bags under her eyes as her daughter assisted her, "Never would have I thought that Heaven is willing to fight for us."
Jaune resisted to eye roll at that notion considering that it was Port who gave the go signal without thinking and placing his full trust on Jaune.
"And... Jaune Arc?" Yasaka said as she held his hands, "Thank you. If there is anything you need, don't hesitate."
Jaune smiled, "Like what I said to Adam, don't think of it."
"Really?" Yasaka suddenly gained a coy smile with a tint on her cheeks, "You are my literal Knight in Shining Armor... as a lady, I am willing to offer anything."
Jaune merely chuckled, "Hahahaha. Just doing my job."
"Why not stay for the night — I have some special healing techniques, like how devils heal themselves. I ensure you it will be grand."
Jaune began to get nervous as Jeanne sighed, Sieg chucked, Lint looked bloody murder, and Adam coughed.
"We can have it one on one, and if you prefer, I can also provide some... nurses... who are interested in you so—"
RING~!
Jaune was saved by his phone as he walked away to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Jaune, I take things are well," Port asked
"Well if you mean we won but extremely wounded."
"Good, because I have a favor to ask. And you are the only person who I trust considering how sensitive the situation is... politically."
Jaune immediately understood what kind of favor it is, "Is it that bad that you won't ask Dulio? Also, Ascalon Spear broke."
"What? How?"
"True Longinus."
There was some silence in the line "Again politically and potentially some traitors at our side, so I believe Ascalon will just make matters more tense."
Jaune sighed as his aura finished healing his bones, "lay it on me." He looked at Zwei and kept his happy face.
"Can you catch a train to Kuoh Town?"
Author's Notes!
Yes, this arc is finished! I felt that this chapter should be long considering who the enemy is, and boy what an opponent he was…
The technique Cao Cao used is his sub-species balance breaker, but even with it he still receives a heck of a beating. BTW, Ascalon Spear will return!
Also, the next chapter will be a lighter one and an interlude before I take a break – I have to especially to plan the next arcs better since we are entering canon!
