I opened my eyes as the first rays of the sun entered the room.
When I turned to my side I saw xenovia sleeping there
* Sigh* I'm not even surprised, she's been sleeping with me almost all the time for a year now. She was always a little attached to me, but Irina leaving might have increased that a little more.
That's right, Irina returned a year ago, when the exchange program ended
Flashback
Xenovia, Griselda, Dulio, Vasco and I gathered here to say goodbye to Irina and Touji who came to pick her up.
Irina looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment
Even though it's not much different in Xenovia, they're just as stubborn as always.
"I'm leaving now"
"Hmph finally ,There will be some silence after all "
"I-I don't want to stay with you either"
They both waited without speaking another word, unable to look at each other.
I finally feel eyes on me, basically four other adults telling me to handle this situation
I suppressed a sigh
"hm dan – kyaaa " "kyaaa "
I grabbed Xenovia's and Irina's arms and pulled them towards me.
I pulled them both towards me and hugged them both tightly.
.
..
...
Irina was the first to break
"uwaaaaaa, xenovia I don't want to leave " She snuggled closer to my lap and wrapped her other arm around xenovia.
"Me too." Finally, Xenovia couldn't stand it either, with small tears flowing from her eyes, she made the same move and hugged both me and Irina tightly.
"This isn't goodbye, we'll see each other later. Maybe not right now, but definitely in a year or two. After all, we gave it to you, right? "Damn, even my eyes are wet.
When they finally broke up xenovia hugged me and cried some more
Flashback ending
Although Griselda was a little against it at first, she eventually surrendered to Xenovia's surprising stubbornness. Even she was surprised that she disagreed with her words, but for some reason she also seemed a little proud of her, I seriously don't understand womens
I wore a priest's uniform instead of my usual training clothes or gym clothes. I wore the cross gifted by Irina around my neck and the bracelet with the sword symbol, which was a gift from Xenovia, on my wrist. I hid the bracelet under the arm of my dress as it would attract too much attention.
I went back to bed and woke up xenovia
"Get up xenovia "." I don't wannwaa"
"Then I'll tell Griselda that you missed your checkup today because you fell asleep."
A She instantly stood up which showed me what she was wearing while sleeping .Extremely short shorts and a sleeveless T-shirt that reveals her stomach (Same as the one she wear in the anime)
She immediately jumped up and started changing her clothes.... FRONT OF ME
I immediately stopped her and forced her to go to the back room
There she came dressed as a nun. Her long blue hair flowed behind her
We saw Griselda waiting for us in front of the door.
"Good morning"
"good morning/good morning"
We both replied to her good morning
"then let's go" We followed griselda leading the way
When I look at Griselda again
She would lead us to a room with a playful smile on her face for some reason....Curious
She opened the door and stepped aside for us to enter.
Something is definitely going on, anyway I opened the door and went in, as soon as I opened the door I was hit by a twin tail missile.
"DANIELE" A familiar voice called my name and I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me and a soft body accompanied by a beautiful scent.
I couldn't help but giggle "it's been a while Irina"
She left me and then attacked Xenovia
She was wearing the nun's outfit just like xenovia, but it looks like she started wearing her hair in a double tail, just like in canon.
When I looked at the room again, The room was basically not very big, there were a few other exorcist around.While I was looking around, I saw someone I knew,there was Mr. Touji and a few things wrapped in bandages next to him.
Dulio was with him
As for the reason we are here, it has already been explained before.
Well, here it will be measured whether we are holy sword users or not. Even though some people around us know that Xenovia exists, Touji is unfortunately one of those who don't know
As for how to do the test? There is a sphere there, although it resembles the glass spheres in fortune-telling houses and glows a blue-gold color.
xenovia came to the fore first , When she touched his hand to the crystal, too bright golden light shined from it.
Oooooooooo
Even the exorcists around her were staring blankly at the scene.
I couldn't help but find Mr. Touji's open-mouthed surprised expression funny. Even Irina next to me giggled, hiding slightly behind me. What am I, an emergency shelter?
A small smile appeared when Xenovia came to me.
When it was Irina's turn, a small light flashed, it was easy to notice that Irina was getting a little depressed.
"Don't worry, Irina, the church has developed a way to increase the quality of those with low light element. " Touji said holding out a crystal in his hand.
Bizarre diamond shape to it and has a dark shade of blue and indigo on its outside.
"You can use this crystal, it will increase the amount you have, so you can use the holy swords "Mr. Touji explained in a slow and clear voice.
When she brought the crystal to her chest, it was instantly absorbed.
She was visibly more motivated when she returned
When it was my turn, I reached out to the crystal, and it shone a brightness that wasn't as bright as Xenovia's, but more than Irina's.
I can't say I wasn't disappointed that when I reached out to the crystal, only a little light emerged.
Well, I can't be too greedy though
After all, I have both magic and longinus
Mr. Touji also handed me a crystal.
I took the crystal , Of course I knew what it was, something Valper Galilei discovered from human experimentation. The dude might be an absolute son of a bitch, but he's a genius too
I held the crystal to my chest and it was absorbed into my chest accompanied by blue gold light.
Then, while I was thinking, an idea came to my mind, if it works....
I finally came to my senses when Mr Touji called me
It then allowed you to focus on him before the swords behind him spun around.
He gave a signal to the exorcists around, and they went and untied the bandages around the objects
The things that emerged were swords, 6 swords each with a different appearance and shape.
These swords are "true" holy swords, not like the light swords we use,
"Come closer to the swords, they will react to you. Of course, you can use the ones that do not react to you, but the ones that react to you are the ones that have the most compatibility with you."
He introduced us to the swords and abilities one by one.
Excalibur destruction : The piece that specializes in pure power
Excalibur mimic: The piece specialized changing its own form as it wishes.
Excalibur rapidly: The piece specialized in accelerating the user and the sword
Excalibur nightmare : The piece specialized on illusions and dream manipulation
Excalibur transparency: The piece specialized in invisible the wearer and the sword
Excalibur blessing: The piece specializes in buffs
The three of us approached the sword
Xenovia and Irina got the same swords as in canon
As for me, excalibur blessing reacted when I caught it
----------------------------------
I finally arrived at one of the empty training grounds where I could study comfortably. Xenovia and Irina were talking about things that happened when they were apart for a year.
[Are you sure this will work]
"Well why not, isn't the light element something that resides in my soul? Sacred gear is the same way, so it should be theoretically possible."
[How can that sound so logical and so illogical at the same time]
"meh" I refused and called regulus nemea and started trying the experiment
In canon Kiba was able to take the crystal and create a holy demonic sword, so why can't I, who have a longinus(system bugs)? Issei created(Or rather, he suddenly won) the illegal Triaina with the Evil Pieces in his soul, why can't I?
I've been trying to reach something inside me but it's no use, I feel like I'm missing something.
"You seem busy" I looked back when I heard that unforgettable voice I last heard 2 years ago.
Here she was, golden like hair and sea like eyes, Miss Riel
"It's been a while, Mis—" Before I could say anything, she suddenly appeared next to me and touched my nose with her index finger.
"You can call me sister Riel or Riel, but lady/miss forbidden." She continued to touch my nose, pouting slightly.
I couldn't help but feel my face getting red.
"I understand, sister Riel." "So what are you doing?"
"Well today, I learned that I have a certain compatibility with the holy sword ,I was trying to transfer this quality to regulus nemea"
Yes , I'm trying to do here is basically try to transfer the light element in my soul, which is strengthened by the crystal, to the axe.
"So, are you trying to get Regulus Nemea to consult the holy axe?" She asked with a cute bow of her head. GAP MOE!!!!
"in short yes" "This is a great idea!" She said clapping her hands together
"Even so, it doesn't work very well, it's like something is missing, I can't feel the light element at all."
"Then let me help you" she puffed out her chest proudly. And it gave me an amazing view, my god *and Michael*..... Thank you
"so, how will it be " "Just try to feel like you always do, I'll take care of the rest."
I decided to do as she said, I held the ax in front of me and tried to feel it .....I feel like I did it but not the light element!!!!!!!!Riel is hugging me from behind now and I can feel their huge nukes on my back and damn they are big and soft ,they are so soft
Just as I was about to say something, suddenly flashed around us. When this light shone, it was as if all my bad thoughts disappeared.
[Partner, this lamp is moving]
As soon as Regulus said this, I focused on feeling it and yes it was there, it was in the form of a bright golden light, I tried to connect it with my longinus.
Suddenly, the purple jewel at the top of Regulus Nemea turned blue and gold.
And the ax began to shine with a golden aura
This was different from the usual aura, if the previous. aura contained majesty and unwaveringness, this one was soft but strong, symbolizing kindness, protection and health.
I swung the ax towards a tree ahead.
A golden slit flew towards the tree, and it split cleanly in half.
When I looked at the regulus nemea in my hand again, I saw that this aura disappeared after a while and the jewel turned into purple color again.
I immediately turned around and hugged Riel.
"Successful, really successful, thank you Riel"
Riel hugged me, patted my head and said "You're welcome"
At that moment I immediately retreated and apologized.
Riel giggled as if she found this funny and assured me it was okay.
"Well, What should we name? After all, I was able to succeed thanks to you."
She touched a finger to her cheek and struck a thinking pose.
"How about holy drive? "
"What do you say, Regulus?" The purple jewel on the ax sparkled, [sounds nice partner ]
Finally, as I was planning to thank Riel again, I saw her disappear again.
I lightly touched the cross on my neck with my hand and couldn't help but whisper "thank you Riel"
[I'm sure you'll meet again, after all, she seems to care about you]
After that I went to practice the skill † holy fist †
Old Vasco taught me the technique as he promised, but the real problem is that I am not blessed like Vasco.
That's why we developed an alternative; in short, I can usually wrap my hand around the cross and use it that way.
Of course, it took me a lot of work to overcome this, but the results were not bad.
Griselda called me later to say something
------------------------------
A man was running away in fear in the forest, and he took care to look back from time to time.
But if one looks carefully, one can see that this man's body is covered with feathers, that he has knives that can cut iron like paper, and that he has wolf features such as a tail and ears. Yes it was a werewolf
At that moment, a 13-year-old boy jumped up from the forest.
He had a striking sword in his hand
The sword resembles a European sword with a golden guard that curves forward. The base of the blade curves inward. Excalibur Blessing has a green plant stem with leaf petals design engraved along the blade.
For some reason, as soon as he saw the sword, the werewolf shuddered as if he were looking at death.
But he still resisted and attacked with his own claws
Just as they were about to collide, blood sprayed into the air and the werewolf's eyes widened in shock because in front of him, instead of a child, a giant golden lion tore his entire arm apart with its teeth.
The boy he saw before suddenly appeared from behind and cut his throat before he could even react.
The blow from the sword containing a high concentration of holy power caused him to die before he could resist.
Hmmm...switcheroo spell is almost perfect but still has distance problem
*clap, clap, clap*
"Not bad, young Daniele, you're getting better and better. "
The man in front of me is a man in his thirties, dressed in typical priest-exorcist clothes, with dark brown hair slicked back, oohh, and yes, he has a moustache.
David Cerro, wielder of this Holy Sword Galatine
So why am I with this man
Flashback
"can you repeat please" I asked again, looking at Griselda, just hoping I heard wrong.
"you will be going on a special mission with an experienced exorcist" "why!!!"
"Looks like the higher ups chose you for experience , They think experience will make you better."
"*sigh* So who is my partner?"
"that would be me"
When I turned back I met David, "I'm David Cerro "
flashback end
And that's how things turned out
The task given to us is to investigate an organization called utsusemi agency
It seems that about a week ago, while Ryoukou High School students were on vacation, the ship completely disappeared.
The supernatural nature of the incident was essentially confirmed when the parents of the missing children found themselves hypnotized, and church agents reported this to higher-ups.
They gave the task to David Cerro, a holy sword user. Of course, I was chosen as his assistant.
The reason we hunted this werewolf was because he basically attacked ordinary people.
Seriously damn my luck
When I asked David why I was chosen, "it was confirmed that the incident had something to do with independent avatar type SGs and the strongest such SG we have belongs to you. "
I opened my mouth and closed it actually it kind of makes sense
"It seems that the upper management has given us another task. A noble devil kills the servants he wants and forces them to resurrect them, and at this moment he slaughters the innocent bystanders around.We will eliminate this man and his peerage once and for all "
I nodded in understanding
"Is it clear which clan he is from? "
"Looks like he comes from a buné clan " .....So we're faced with taming dragons and someone who might become one. ...damn.
-------------------------------
half a day later
We are currently in front of a house
We prepared by hypnotizing the occupants of the house and the noble devil's target and sending them out of harm's way.
Finally a magic circle opened and 6 people came out of it.
There was a guy with spiky black hair who wore an open-front fur coat that didn't hide his bare muscular chest.
The others were all girls and cute looking boy wearing a weird school uniform, their eyes were completely blank.... This bastard
As soon as they arrived, I took action and held the cross around my neck .Holding the cross, I started chanting the incantations.
†You evil beings who enter the lord's territory in his name will be met with his censure and hatred.†
A golden dome was formed, this dome has the function of restricting the creatures of darkness and their abilities. Unfortunately, it is only effective for the highest middle-class peak, otherwise the barrier cannot withstand the power of the other side and crumbles. , Of course, Excalibur blessing plays a role here, by increasing the effect and power of the barrier, it can even restrain the top of the high-class.
While Mr. David targeted the king, I targeted the others
---------------------------
Daniele side
Magic circles formed in the hands of the two girls in the back and wind blades flew at me.
I blocked them all with the excalibur in my hand and the wind blades shattered
As soon as I blocked them, I jumped slightly to the right to dodge the sword that was trying to slice me from above.
Just as I was happy to be saved, another person appeared behind me... She has a fucking hammer in her hand!!!!!!
When the hammer was about to hit me, I somersaulted backwards with the momentum I got from the previous jump, then I supported the ground with my free left hand and did a second somersault, landing on my feet.
I did not hesitate to take action to avoid being in this situation again.
I increased my physical speed with the buff I applied to myself from Excalibur blessing.
The woman who had just tried to hit me with a hammer was swinging in vain, so I cut off her head using the gap.
When I ran towards the other girls, they also ran towards me
I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a ball and threw it at them.
When the ball came in front of them, an extremely bright light shone and blinded them.
I used this and pierced someone's heart with a sword, and with the exorcist gun I found in my other hand, I aimed and shot at the head of the girl with the hammer.
I kept turning and shooting at the other girls with the gun, but unfortunately they had already come to their senses.
Two girls formed a defense magic circle together
Boy kept throwing wind blades at me behind the barrier
I got over it all and started looking for clarity.
Finally an idea came to my mind and I prepared to attack the barrier with my sword.
But before the sword hit the barrier, I threw holy water towards the barrier
Then, right after that, I hit the barrier with the sword. I used the buff effect of Excalibur Blessing on the holy water I threw before.The sparkling water turned golden and the shield broke into pieces with cracks appearing.
The remaining two girls and one boy were at the mercy of excalibur.... The outcome was already clear, they all died
---------------------------------
David's side
"You bastard, what a dare! I am one of the proud descendants of the Bunê family.
YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS "
Accompanied by a black light, he turned into a giant black dragon, firing an aura bullet from his mouth, a normal exorcist would die here.
Unfortunately, his opponent was not only a high-level exorcist, but also a holy sword user.
David tightened Galatine's grip and the sword began to glow with holy aura, with a single swing the aura bullet shattered into pieces.
"is that all " David asked calmly as he walked towards the noble devil.
"s-se-you don't think you're anything!!!!!!" Devil tried to crush David with his claw David jumped up and quickly ran across the claw and jumped right in his face
He swung his sword upwards with both hands, cutting his left eye, and by pressing on his shoulder without stopping, he reversed his momentum and made another cut on his neck.
"AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH" David, paying no attention to the devil rolling on the ground from the angle, approached him.
Seeing this as an opportunity, the noble devil wanted to use the moment to tear him apart, but unfortunately his move was already seen by David, he dodged the claw and instantly approached him.
When he swung the sword all the way down to where his heart was, it was all over.
There was nothing he could do as the buné noble was destroyed to their souls in the holy power.
Back to Daniele, who looks like he's done with himself and nods to himself.
' This kid was seriously impressive, he had a longinus but unlike other SG users he learned everything he could like spells and exorcism techniques '
"It's time to go Daniele"
" Ok"
The two continued their journey, so what will await them on this journey?
