Chereads / Highschool AxL: Holy lion / Chapter 25 - To bring down the angel of the stars

Chapter 25 - To bring down the angel of the stars

Daniele pov 

 

 

The scene now happening before me was beyond my comprehension. 

 

 

In a light flash, Kokabiel disappeared along with Freed and Valper, leaving no clue.

 

 

Regulus said he couldn't smell anything around, so we're in an empty situation right now. 

 

 

The sun was starting to set 

 

 

But the real problem here is what happened after that, Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory came right after Kokabiel and those two women are now.....spanking their servant's butt? 

 

Tisssss!! Hell, Sona Sitri even uses a magic circle 

 

 

Poor Saji 

 

 

On Rias' side, she first hugged them and then started spanking them?

 

 

Honey and axe? 

 

 

Did she lightly hit Toujou, there is gender discrimination!!??

 

[Hahahahaha Damn!!!Hahahahahahahah]

 

 

Ah yes, in my mind there is a lion laughing with pure joy  at the situation of the red dragon emperor, I think he laughs mostly for Ddraig's sake 

 

 

"What are we looking at now?"

 

 

Xenovia asked, staring blankly. 

 

 

"I have no idea "

 

 

For some reason, Asia covered her red face with hands and was looking through her fingers. 

 

 

"------------Not only did you become a Devil, did you also fall into such a path, Issei-kun?"

 

 

Irina, who came to us and saw this scene, was mumbling something in the corner. 

 

 

It went on like this for a few minutes 

 

 

 

"Now that your 'private' time with your servants is over, may I have an explanation?I thought we wouldn't stand in each other's way"

 

 ---------------------------------------

 

Sitting on the wooden boxes in this area, I questioned the Devils across the street .

 

 

Rias and Sona also looked to their servants for an answer. 

 

 

"I was forced into th---Agh!"

 

 

Saji's words were cut off by an elbow blow to his side from the loli ...poor boy 

 

 

Finally Issei Hyoudou spoke up 

 

 

"We wanted to help Kiba,We planned to offer you help in destroying Excalibur and tried to reach you in the meantime, but we couldn't find it, eventually we encountered Freed and Kokabiel."

 

 

"Wait a second"

 

 

Xenovia intervened. 

 

 

"How do you know it's Kokabiel? We didn't tell you that."

 

 

"They're right, I'm curious too. Can you tell us, Ise?"

 

 

Rias turned to her pawn with a curious expression. 

 

"This---"

 

 

[*Giggle* I can say that!!"]

 

 

The sudden sound surprised Devils, but it wasn't that strange to us, after all, it was a voice we knew.

 

 

A giant golden lion with golden particles appeared next to me 

 

 

"So this is --"

 

 

Rias muttered. 

 

 

"Longinus--- Regulus Nemea "

 

 

Sona pushed her glasses and said as the lenses were covered in light 

 

 

[How long will you remain silent, you winged iguana? ]

 

 

{I advise you to choose your words carefully, kitten }

 

 

[Or what, are you going to come and beat me??ohhh~~ you can't, right? The great and mighty heavenly dragon that the gods feared was trapped ]

 

 

{You!!}

 

 

[Why are you and that white gecko fighting again?]

 

 

{Hmph, this is something special beyond your understanding ----}

 

 

[You don't even remember, do you]

 

 

{....}

 

 

[Hahaah I knew it!!! Neither of you remember!!!!]

 

 

{You damn ---wait have you met the White One }

 

 

[I guess you could call him and my partner childhood friends]

 

 

At his words, the devil side looked ate in surprise and I nodded in agreement. 

 

 

But I knew Regulus all too well, and I'm sure he hasn't hit the nail on the head yet.

 

 

[Speaking of partners, I think your partner this time is ....pff....very ....Puhahaha damn it I can't do this hahahah. It suits you very well. With such a low Demonic Power, he can 'Boost' non-stop. Even though he increased it like a hundred times, he can barely catch up with the host of Albion. ]

 

 

"That's enough"

 

 

I reached out and wrapped both arms around Regulus' neck and dragged him back. 

 

 

[No partner please!! I haven't even gotten started on his stupid haircut yet!!]

 

 

"We have more important things to do!!! "

 

 

When I finally calmed him down, I tried to diffuse the strange atmosphere. 

 

 

"Yes, where were we?"

 

 

Issei was about to say something but Kiba finally came out first. 

 

 

"I am one of the survivors of the holy sword project"

 

 

While Irina and Xenovia were stunned, I was calm, after all, it wasn't something I didn't know. 

 

 

"Okay, but what does this have to do with Excalibur?"

 

 

"What does this mean!!!! I lost my friends and family because of Excalibur! Are you asking me to stop hating!?"

 

 

"So your goal is to destroy the sword...that's stupid" "

 

 

"What are you talking about"!!!"

 

 

I was ready to say something else, but at that moment a power wave made me stop talking. 

 

 

"This..."

 

 

Irina muttered in surprise. 

 

 

Sona suddenly put her hand to her ear and listened to the blue magic circle that appeared. 

 

 

""What is going on here, Reya? What is this momentary power wave?"

 

 

"......"

 

 

"What!!!!So are you okay?"

 

 

"...."

 

 

"What's going on Sona?"

 

 

I was waiting while Rias asked her childhood friend the question I was curious about. 

 

 

"Looks like Kokabiel went straight to the academy and prepared a ritual "

 

 

"Kaichou, what about the others?"

 

 

"That's the problem, even though Kokabiel saw them, he didn't seem to do anything but grin at them, like --"

 

 

"As if he was waiting for us "

 

 

I spoke while everyone was getting nervous 

 

-------------------------------------------

 

third person pov 

 

"Rias, you should call your brother"

 

 

Rias gave Sona an offended look. 

 

 

"There's no need to bring my Nii-sama into this, and why don't you call your sister?"

 

"Rias! Don't talk like you don't know my Nee-sama, she'll probably destroy the town along with Kokabiel "

 

 

Even if Rias wanted to offer a counter argument, she couldn't, the current Leviathan seriously surpassed even her brother when it came to Sona.

 

 

When they were children, they went to the familiar forest and Sona's leg was scratched.she stopped because Rias brother was with her, otherwise she was going to destroy a that race!!!

 

 

Rias wanted to say no, but the problem here was big and this was the best possibility 

 

 

"Akeno, notify Nii-sama"

 

 

"hmmm...actually I already tried it but unfortunately communication magic circles don't work "

 

 

"Akeno!! Without even telling me?"

 

 

"I'm sorry Rias but I thought you would be stubborn about this"

 

 

"It's not that important, we should be able to beat him with Dany's Balance Breaker."

 

 

 

"Oh, About that-----"

 

-----------------------------------------

 

By now the group had entered the school, Sona's peerage being tactically oriented they took it upon themselves to create a barrier around the school otherwise the casualties would have been excessive if the war had affected the town

 

 

"You seriously can't use Balance Breaker?"

 

 

"As I said, there is nothing to do, I was trying a new technique and as a result I can't use it for a while."

 

 

Xenovia sighed, this was going to make the situation difficult

 

 

"Ma~~Ma~~~~ the three of us together can still do this"

 

 

Irina's words coming from Daniele's other side made Xenovia smile too. 

 

 

"You are right "

 

 

"Ummm, I guess we're here too"

 

 

Rias said in a  empty  voice from the back.

 

 

"Oh yes I forgot about you"

 

 

Xenovia exclaimed as she looked at the devils behind. 

 

 

But what no one noticed was the expression on Daniele's face

 

 

 

 

[Yes partner, no doubt]

 

 

 

 

[Do you really want to do this]

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

"Finally, you were waiting  in front of the school, did you at least make a plan, or maybe you used a trump card or called for help? "

 

 

Kokabiel spoke as he looked up from his throne, then his face split into two with a grin. 

 

"....though, the last one is unlikely"

 

 

Daniele looked directly at him 

 

 

"So you were the one who cut off communication"

 

 

"Well, it was very easy to direct the energy from the Ritual in a way that blocked communication in a particular area "

 

 

Kokabiel said with a shrug and lazily pointed his finger at the ritual in the corner 

 

 

Three Excalibur floated in the air, the magic circle glowing beneath them. 

 

 

 Freed and Valper next to the three swords

 

 

"Well, it still looks like it'll take a while. Play with these for now."

 

 

Kokabiel snapped his fingers and three cerberuses appeared from the ground, accompanied by three fire pillar.

 

"These are the gate keepers of the Greek underworld"

 

 

"I really wonder how you understand this, maybe it's from three heads.

 

 

Daniele said rolling his eyes 

 

 

Rias wanted to fight back, but the attacking Cerberus did not allow it. 

 

 

With an unspoken agreement, they split into groups to hunt down the Cerberus one by one. 

 

 

{Boost}

 

 

Following his master's instructions, Issei began to accumulate power. 

 

 

"Holy explosion!!!"

 

 

At Irina's words, silver swords with red lines down the middle of the sword blade take out from the ground and pierced one of the Cerberus. 

 

 

But it didn't end there 

 

 

*Boom!!*

 

 

The red lines on the swords that pierced the European beast flashed and they all exploded in an instant. 

 

 

The crazed creature covered in scars leapt out of the smoke and lunged at the nearest blonde nun. 

 

 

"Asia!!!!"

 

 

Seeing her, Issei was worried about Asia and wanted to help her, but unfortunately nun he knew was different from before. 

 

 

A blue lightning bolt struck the attacking Cerberus' right head, and the creature screamed in pain. 

 

 

Raiel was flying in the air and launching lightning attacks at various points to protect his master.

 

 

Asia didn't waste the opening her new partner had created for her

 

 

Asia fired a wind blast  into the flaming maw accompanied by a green magic circle

 

 

The flames intensified as they collided with the wind and exploded, turning one of Cerberus' heads into ashes. 

 

 

Asia learned this from Lavinia 

 

---------------------------------------------

 

Flashback 

 

 

"Listen A-chan, using magic isn't just bombarding the enemy with elemental attacks....well it is, but it's not completely."

 

 

Lavinia continued as Asia tilted her head in confusion. 

 

 

"You should also use spells wisely and to support each other so you can get the most out of the least amount of output."

 

 

Lavinia stretched out her right hand to show an example, and a fire ball the size of a walnut appeared. 

 

 

She then extended her left hand and formed a wind sphere of the same size 

 

 

She threw the wind sphere in her left hand into the fire ball in her right hand, and suddenly the walnut-sized ball caused a fire tornado the size of a football ball. 

 

 

She chuckled at Asia's confused look and reached out to caress her head. 

 

 

"Now we will learn in which situations we will use them. "

 

----------------------------------------------

 

Flashback end

 

 

'I did it, Lavinia-san!!!'

 

 

"The rest is on me, Asia-chan!!! Let's see its resist this too? "

 

 

Upon Irina's words, the Excalibur Mimic's blade in her hand became extremely long. With one swing from Irina, Cerberus was split in two 

 

 

While the monster was disappearing accompanied by golden particles, on the other side, Daniele and Xenovia were also against Cerberus, who also had their share. 

 

 

The flames that Cerberus spewed from his mouth were blocked by the shadows that appeared from the ground.

 

 

The shadows that blocked the attack immediately came together and formed Bester. 

 

 

Bester pushed Cerberus back with his own flame breath, and Daniele and Xenovia approached from both sides and split him into three, causing him to disappear accompanied by particles of light. 

 

 

{Boost}

 

 

The last remaining Cerberus was punched by Koneko and fell back 

 

 

{Boost}

 

 

Suddenly, demon swords burst from the ground and pinned the creature down. 

 

 

{Boost}

 

 

{Transfer!!}

 

Issei transferred the power he had accumulated to Akeno and Rias 

 

 

The King and Queen destroyed the last remaining Cerberus with a combination of lightning and PoD 

 

 

 

"Completed !!!!!!"

 

 

Accompanied by the crazy sound, everyone turned to the sound and instead of three swords in front of them, there was a single sword floating in the air. 

 

 

 

"That's it.....Excalibur!!!! Now take the sword Freed and show them!! Show the power of the fusioned Excalibur!!!!!

 

 

While Valper was screaming like a maniac, Freed reached out and grabbed the sword. 

 

 

 

"Puhahahaha, I love you boss!! Now Devils scum and whores and of course god's dogs!!! Let's party!!!!!!"

 

 

Kiba was the first to take action, he rushed towards Freed and Valper at abnormal speeds, but he ignored Freed and headed towards Valper. 

 

 

"VALPEEEEER!!!"

 

 

Freed watched with a grin, not even reacting to his movement.

 

 

As the demon sword in his hand was about to reach Valper, it was blocked by the light barrier that appeared, causing Kiba to fly backwards. 

 

 

"Agghhh!"

 

 

Kiba couldn't stand up even though he tried hard. 

 

 

"Well, I'll leave that to you old man ~~~ I'm going to have fun!!!!"

 

 

Accompanied by Freed's words, the sword in his hand glowed and flew towards the church group

 

 

"This is revenge for last time!!"

 

 

 

Freed attacked Xenovia with Excalibur, but his attack was blocked by Excalibur Destruction. 

 

 

"Tsk!! How about this!!"

 

 

Freed suddenly disappeared and quickly appeared behind Xenovia 

 

 

"Take this!!!"

 

 

 

Before the sword could hit Xenovia, it was blocked by Irina who appeared in front of her. 

 

 

Excalibur Mimic was now shaped like a large shield 

 

 

"I've got your back, Xenovia!!!!"

 

 

"Thanks!!!"

 

 

Xenovia said as she walked around Irina's right side and brandished Excalibur Destruction. 

 

 

 

Although Freed blocked the attack, the destructive force threw him back. 

 

 

 

When he finally stopped himself, he looked at the group, shaking with anger. 

 

 

 

"Don't underestimate me WHORES!!!"

 

 

 

Freed said as he create copies of himself, all of them charging at the duo. 

 

 

"The rest is up to you Dany!!"

 

 

Irina shouted without looking back 

 

 

"Leave it to me "

 

 

 

Freed instinctively looked at the sound and stiffened. 

 

 

†Magic Arrow, 'Series of Fire'†

 

 

There were twenty  fire sphere around Daniele, and the Excalibur Blessing in his hand was glowing. 

 

 

Excalibur Blessing-empowered fire spheres transformed into arrows and shot towards Freed and his illusion clones 

 

 

*Boom* Booom* Booom*Boom*

 

 

Each fire arrow caused explosions upon impact, and Freed, battered and suffering burns in several places, was sent flying backwards from the explosions. 

 

 

Freed barely managed to get himself to his feet, but at that moment a total of 5 light spear shot towards the devils and the church. 

 

 

Three to Daniele, Asia, Irina and Xenovia, the remaining two to Orc. 

 

 

When the spears hit the ground, they caused huge explosions. 

 

 

Kokabiel, the person who threw the spears, was watching this situation with indifference, but when he turned his attention to the side of the church, the disinterested and bored expression on his face was like that of a child who has found a new toy. 

 

 

The smoke from the explosion dispersed. 

 

 

Daniele and the other three were fine, with only a few scratches, but now they had equipment they didn't have before.

 

 

Xenovia held an absurdly large blue and gold sword while Daniele held a golden battle ax with a Lion decoration ,At the same time, there were sword shards just above the ground around them.

 

 

As soon as the attack hit, Daniele and Xenovia revealed Regulus Nemea and Durandal

 

 

They staged their own attack with the weapons and caused the two explosions to collide. 

 

 

Irina covered herself and the other trio with 'hard' holy swords to block the remaining aftershocks. 

 

 

Since they put Asia right in the middle, she didn't take any damage either. 

 

 

Kokabiel watched this with fun, at least he wouldn't get bored. 

 

 

"I-it's not over yet!!! I'll kill you Valper !!!!"

 

 

Suddenly, a sound coming from the corner caught everyone's attention. 

 

---------------------------------------------

 

Kiba stood up and attacked Valper once again. The blade of this sword in his hand was black. 

 

 

"Holy Eraser!!!!"

 

 

Kiba swung the sword again, but the light barrier appeared once again and shattered the sword trying to erase the light, sending Kiba flying back once more. 

 

 

"Hmmm~~ I remember now!!! You're Isaiah right! İt's surprising you're still alive"

 

 

"No you managed to kill me and my friends!!!! But I was saved by my current master .I will never forgive you for killing my family!!!"

 

 

Valper shrugged off the young boy's anger 

 

 

"It was a necessary sacrifice, after all, otherwise my research should not have come to light."

 

 

"You!!!-- wait a second, what do you mean the research shouldn't have come out?"

 

 

"I had found a way to extract the element needed to use the holy swords, but the problem was what would happen if the orphans used in the experiment were discovered, so I chose the simplest solution....killing."

 

 

"Even our death was meaningless"

 

 

"Well I would give you the crystal where I stored your dear friends, but General Governor Azazel asked me for it a few years ago .Who knows, maybe he used those souls for a sacrifice or an experiment."

 

 

As soon as the blood on Kiba's face drained away, a momentary light caught his attention and he turned around. 

 

 

Excalibur Blessing in Daniele's hand was glowing, and as he raised the sword into the air, an image appeared in the air accompanied by a light

 

 

 

 

 

Kiba knew those figures, he couldn't forget those figures!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Tears were streaming down Kiba's eyes and even Xenovia and Irina looked at him in surprise.

 

 

"Holy sword project incident was the church's fault, that was the only thing I could do."

 

 

Kiba could barely pull himself to his feet but his gaze did not leave Daniele 

 

-----------------------------------------------

kiba pov

 

 

Thank God

 

I didn't care about the pain in my head, they were my friends, at least their souls found peace. 

 

 

And the person who did it 

 

 

I looked at the boy in front of me, around my age, I hated him, I hated him so much because he had Excalibur. But the same Excalibur user was the one who gave peace to my friends. 

 

 

So what am I....'So your goal is to destroy a sword....that's stupid'

 

 

I understand that's what he meant to me 

 

 

When I nodded at him, he raised an eyebrow at me and I turned to Valper once again. 

 

 

 

"So and so drama etc. ueeeghhh!!I think I'm going to throw up now!Come here beautiful boy !!!!!"

 

 

I created 'Holy Eraser' once again as Freed jumped towards me and they collided with the fused Excalibur. 

 

 

 

It's my sword that's weak, that's for sure. Just the impact alone cracked my sword completely .

 

But I won't give up !!!!!

 

"Sword Birth!"

 

 

As if sensing my desire, my Holy Eraser began to absorb more of Excalibur's aura and I threw Freed back.

 

 

"Now I will forge a sword for my friends who sacrificed themselves, for Buchou who saved me, for myself and for my benefactor (Daniele)!!!!"

 

-------------------------------------------

third person pov 

 

 

"Regulus this"

 

 

[Balance breaker, yeah]

 

 

Regulus answered his partner as the amethyst gem sparkled 

 

 

"This is the 'Sword of Revenge "

 

 

It was a sword with a silver handle and a black blade, with red writings in the middle. 

 

 

"So what!!!"

 

 

Freed charged forward once again with Excalibur , and the two swords collided again, and at the moment of impact, Excalibur's holy power was absorbed into Kiba's sword. 

 

 

"What?! What's happening to my Excalibur -chan?!"

 

 

As the holy power continued to be absorbed, the sword's Demonic power grew. 

 

 

"These are my friends----No! For my family!!!!!"

 

 

With one move, Kiba shattered Excalibur and opened a diagonal slash in Freed's chest, causing him to fall to the ground. 

 

 

After Freed when fall to the ground

 

 

Kiba trudged towards Valper and punched him right in the face with the only strength he had left, causing a few teeth in his mouth to fly into the corner and he passed out. 

 

 

 

"Kukukuku hahahahahahah, Now someone who has reached Balance Breaker this is getting better and better!!!"

 

 

Bursting into laughter on his throne, Kokabiel once again captured everyone's attention, stood up from his throne

 

 

 

He looked at Rias and her group first 

 

 

"Sirzech Lucifer, sister of that damn monster  , This generation's red dragon emperor , stupid kitten, a failed experiment, and of course, Barakiel's hybrid daughter."

 

 

 

 

"Don't equate me with him!!!!"

 

 

Akeno lost control and threw the most powerful Lightning bolt she could at Kokabiel. 

 

 

 

Kokabiel blocked this Lightning with one hand, and the force created with a swing of his hand ripped Akeno's clothes, causing her to fall to the ground. 

 

 

"Akeno-san!!!"

 

 

 

Issei quickly jumped up and caught Akeno, causing her to fall to the ground as well. 

 

 

"Akeno!!/senpai//san!!"

 

 

The Gremory group shouted in concern, but Akeno focused on Issei, who held himself 

 

"Ise....kun."

 

 

she finally fainted 

 

 

Kokabiel ignored Akeno and looked towards the Church group 

 

 

The grin on his face grew wider 

 

 

"Of course, Strada's apprentices"

 

 

"Well it's surprising that the great fallen angel knows about us"

 

 

Daniele spoke in a sarcastic voice 

 

 

"You're more famous than you think"

 

 

"The 'lucky daughter of god' who suddenly gained sacred gear"

 

 

Irina muttered 'I hate that nickname'

 

 

"Durandal's new heir"

 

 

Xenovia released Excalibur Destruction and grasped Durandal tightly with both hands 

 

 

"And of course this generation's Lion King, I think some people were introducing you by a different name. Hmm what was that Ah! That's right 'paladin'"

 

 

Daniele narrowed his eyes. 

 

 

"Unfortunately, I am unable to use that form."

 

 

"Well, that's sad "

 

 

Kokabiel sent out an 'X' shaped light attack with the light swords he created in both hands. The attack was tearing through the ground. 

 

 

Daniele and Xenovia quickly stepped forward 

 

 

They swung Regulus Nemea and Durandal into the same attack and destroyed the attack. 

 

 

Light bullets suddenly flew out of the gap between the two. 

 

 

Irina once turned Excalibur Mimic into a firearm

 

 

Kokabiel blocked the incoming bullets with his own sword, but at that moment the white swords coming out of the ground blocked his vision, but it didn't stop there. 

 

 

The white blades flashed with a light flash, Even though Kokabiel reflexively destroyed the swords, he could not escape the momentary blindness. 

 

 

Even though he couldn't see clearly, by choosing the shadow figures, he still managed to block Daniele and Xenovia's ax and sword attack with the swords in his hand but

 

 

"Agghhh!!"

 

 

The Ascalon in Xenovia's left hand stabbed Kokabiel in the shoulder. 

 

 

 

Daniele, in a moment of Kokabiel blindness, retrieves Ascalon from space storage and launches it at Xenovia 

 

 

Kokabiel's wings seemed to come to life at that moment, all 5 wings on his left side wrapped around Xenovia's left arm. 

 

 

He increased the power of  light sword in his left hand and dodged the Durandal, sending it flying straight into Xenovia's body.

 

 

Xenovia couldn't escape in this situation and would be split in two. 

 

 

*Slash!!*

 

 

The light sword did not reach Xenovia 

 

 

Daniele clenched his teeth and cut off Xenovia's left arm with Regulus Nemea in his hand. 

 

 

†Slip†

 

 

When there was a magic circle under Kokabiel, he kick Kokabiel's legs with his leg and jumped back, hugging Xenovia.

 

 

 

"Irina!!!!!"

 

 

Following Daniele's words, Irina quickly created a sword and threw it into the air.

 

 

†Switcheroo!!†

 

 

The arm holding Ascalon that Daniele cut off and the sword created by Irina were replaced. 

 

 

 

Kokabiel was surprised by the sword that appeared in front of him and the sword suddenly exploded. !!

 

 

"Dany!!! My arm hurts!!! You need to take responsibility!!!"

 

"We'll put it back!!!!

 

 

Daniele reflexively shouted and threw Xenovia towards Irina, taking the phoenix tear from the space storage with her. 

 

 

'Thank you, Sister Riel!'

 

 

Daniele thanked her heartily 

 

 

He quickly focused back on Kokabiel. 

 

 

As Kokabiel was about to attack, a Gremory magic circle suddenly appeared under him and he was attacked by black swords that appeared around him. 

 

 

 

He quickly used his black wings to destroy the swords surrounding him. 

 

 

But at that moment, he was attacked by dragon-shaped black-red energy. 

 

 

He blocked it with both hands, but the attack shattered the inside of his hand and he slid backwards, eventually increasing his strength even more and smashing the dragon, but his hands were injured just below the elbow. 

 

 

"This was for Akeno!!!!"

 

 

Rias announced while glowing with green energy 

 

 

Issei behind him and Kiba in the corner were kneeling in exhaustion. 

 

 

Koneko was holding Akeno in the back 

 

 

"I wouldn't expect anything less from the infamous 'Power of Destruction' "

 

 

Kokabiel was having more fun in this fight than he thought, deliberately cutting off his arm to save his allies, wasting precious resources, doing tricks with cunning and underbelly tactics.This was it!!! This is not a stupid fight...this is.... War!!!!!

 

 

Kokabiel ignored his aching arms and created a sword of light once again to block Regulus Nemea, who was swinging at him. 

 

 

Daniele was glowing with a golden aura and his power increased even more, causing the ground beneath Kokabiel to shatter. 

 

 

†Slip† 

 

 

Daniele used his favorite spell once again, but the spell circle appeared under him and shifted sideways. 

 

 

He used his sideways slide position to swing Regulus Nemea towards Kokabiel's torso. 

 

 

Kokabiel quickly spread his wings and rise into the sky 

 

 

Daniele was not surprised or startled; instead, he changed the pain of the ax and swung it upwards, and the ax instantly disappeared from his hand. 

 

 

At that moment, Kokabiel looked in surprise at the lion that appeared around 5 meters in front of him. 

 

 

 

"ROAAAARRR!!!"

 

The Roar mixed with golden aura sent Kokabiel flying backwards, causing him to fall to the ground once again. 

 

 

Regulus turned into an ax again by light, and fell into Daniele's hand. 

 

 

[Throw me, partner!!!!]

 

 

Daniele did not reject Regulus' words and threw it with all his strength, focusing all the golden aura on the ax in an ax throwing stance. 

 

 

 Regulus Nemea spun at high speed with a golden disc-like appearance and the newly recovered Kokabiel quickly formed three defensive circles, but unfortunately he forgot...a longinus can never be underestimated

 

 

*Crack*Crack*Crack* *Slash!!!*

 

 

The three defensive circles shattered, tearing off Kokabiel's right arm. 

 

 

"Agggghhhhhh!!!!!"

 

 

As he was wielding the ax that severed Kokabiel's arm, he turned into Regulus again, and grasping the ground with his claws, he slid down and threw himself at Kokabiel once more to regain his balance. 

 

 

Kokabiel blocked his way with his remaining left hand, and Regulus cut a wound in his arm with his silver claws. He leapt to Daniele's side once more. 

 

 

"Ha-hahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

 

 

Kokabiel suddenly started laughing like a maniac 

 

 

"This is how it should be. Who cares about stupid peace!!!! Strada's disciples seriously did not disappoint me. It is admirable that you try so hard even when your 'Lord' is not there!!!!"

 

 

"Wait.....' your lord is not there', what does that mean!!!!"

 

 

Daniele knew what he would say next but chose to let it happen 

 

 

Kokabiel grinned unconcernedly despite his wounds. 

 

 

"That's right ~~~ that wasn't said to lower level people like you"

 

 

 

"Answer the question!!!!"

 

Xenovia shouted for an answer once again in a desperate tone. 

 

 

"Pfft puhaha, it wasn't just the four satan who died in the great war, but 'God' also died ."

 

 

"N-no-no-no!!! you're lying!!!!"

 

 

Irina shouted and denied it 

 

 

 

Kokabiel pointed to  devils group

 

 

"Aren't they the best evidence! 'God' created the Sacred Gears to protect humanity so that in times of need, they can protect themselves against the supernatural world but Devils are enslaving them under the excuse of 'saving themselves from extinction'. Do you think 'God' would allow this if he were alive? If we just leave the Sacred Gear alone, there is no way he will allow the humanity he loves so much to be enslaved by devils!!"

 

 

 

"Well then, blessings, God's love for us!!"

 

 

 

Xenovia shouted, hoping to find an opening. 

 

 

 

"Oh yeah Michael is doing a really good job, he took over the system with the death of 'God', even though things like blessings and crosses are still active the system doesn't even work half as well "

 

 

''No no!!"

 

 

Irina was still denying the truth as tears flowed from her eyes, and Asia had already fainted.

 

 

"Yes! YES!! there won't be a war unless anyone starts it directly because the numbers of each faction have been greatly reduced and this has led to this stupid peace situation!!!!I not accept!! Not accepts to die like a fossil!!!If I am going to die, it will be on this battlefield and I will destroy this stupid peace with me!!!!!"

 

 

----------------------------------------------

 

 

The whole area was silent and everyone doubted the reality that 'God' was dead 

 

Everyone seemed to be a mixture of depression and disbelief 

 

 

Kokabiel should normally be happy but he's not!!!

 

 

He looked at the person he thought was the most dangerous here, the young man with the golden lion next to him. 

 

 

But what really angered Kokabiel was his eyes, there was no doubt, surprise or concern in the young man's eyes, he was looking at him calmly and alertly. 

 

 

"You don't seem too surprised by the death of your 'lord' , or I didn't understand, so let me repeat, GOD IS DEAD!!!!!"

 

"So what "

 

 

"Wha---"

 

 

Kokabiel stumbled back, not expecting such a reaction.

 

 

"The church lied to you!!!Everything was a lie and you say 'so what'!"

 

 

 

Daniele sighed. 

 

 

"You're wrong about two things here "

 

 

"First of all, you would be right that the church lied to us if there was no God, but no. God existed and loved humanity .As you said, Sacred Gear is the best proof of this, in fact I am grateful to it, if it wasn't for it I wouldn't have met Regulus."

 

 

Daniele reached out his hand to Regulus' mane, 

 

 

"Even though you're right about the Devils abusing them, that doesn't change the fact that God is there for humanity, even while being dangerous to humanity, take the Four Satans with him."

 

 

Kokabiel looked like eat a bug, but Daniele continued 

 

 

"Coming to the other point you brought up, the Church is more than faith to me!!!"

 

 

At that moment, the brown and violet eyes of the two girls who bowed their heads opened. 

 

 

"The church for me is like my home is just another home"

 

 

At his words, Regulus turned into an ax once again. 

 

 

"I have two sadistic teachers waiting in the church, a brother who will buy their desserts, a training partner waiting for me and many more people .Let's get this over with quickly, Kokabiel, I have somewhere to go back."

 

 

†Holy drive!!!†

 

 

At that moment, Regulus Nemea  exploded with holy power.

 

 

Holy aura density was no lower than 6~8 winged angels 

 

 

Kokabiel was gnashing his teeth in anger.

 

 

"You---"

 

 

"Durandal Blacksmith!!!!"

 

 

At that moment, holy swords burst out of the ground, preventing Kokabiel from going any further!!!!!Swords that normally did no damage were strong enough to wound Kokabiel right now 

 

 

Xenovia and Irina were located to Daniele's right and left respectively 

 

 

"Well, Dany is right, I shouldn't have reacted so easily."

 

 

Irina smiled with a slight blush under her eyes. 

 

 

Xenovia also gave a forced smile. 

 

"When this is over, give me a punishment, Dany."

 

 

"Then I'll tell Griselda to  double your training "

 

 

Xenovia stiffened and broke into a cold sweat. 

 

 

"I said 'punishment', not 'execution'"

 

"Well, that's your problem"

 

 

"Don't you two chat without me!!"

 

 

Irina shouted from the other side 

 

 

Xenovia smiled and lifted Duradal into the air without saying anything. 

 

Daniele understood what she meant and lifted Regulus Nemea into the air with a smile. 

 

 

Kokabiel was very angry that the three people were ignoring him and he opened his mouth to say something but he froze because of the scene in front of him. 

 

 

As soon as Daniele and Xenovia touched the equipment they raised into the air, a tremendous holy-destructive power was released from two similar equipment. 

 

 

As Kokabiel looked at that scene, he saw a shadow from the past, a figure holding aloft a huge blue-gold sword to match its gigantic body.

 

 

Kokabiel had to stop them, otherwise that attack...

 

 

As he was about to move forward, Irina appeared in front of him. 

 

 

Irina was surrounded by a white aura, her eyes were hard 

 

 

"Even if God isn't here now, He was here before, for my faith and for my church family, 'Blade Blacksmith!!!!'"

 

 

20 to 30 sword blades burst from the ground in response to Irina's shouts 

 

 

The swords glowed in the same color of white light that surrounded Irina, forming silver knights 

 

"Balance Breaker - Blade Knight Mass!!!"

 

 

 

Each knight held the Holy Sword's and charged at their master's enemy ----Kokabiel. 

 

 

Kokabiel clenched his teeth and with a single swing of the light sword in his hand, he slashed the five knights into two at once, and they dispersed with light particles, but power is not always the main factor 

 

 

Despite the missing knights, 7-8 or even 9 of them jumped on Kokabiel at the same time and knocked him to the ground. 

 

 

The swords in their hands tore his clothes, scratched his face and stabbed him. 

 

 

Now at his limit, Kokabiel roared with anger and tore all the knights apart with the light power radiating from his body. 

 

 

He created a giant light spear with his left hand and then compressed it to make it small 

 

 

Ultimate-Class power-emitting spear thrown by Kokabiel 

 

 

To buy enough time for the two of them, Irina picked up Ascalon stuck in the ground, positioned the remaining knights in front of her, and created as many 'light-absorbing' swords as she could from the ground. 

 

 

The light spear pierced them all, but when its power weakened a little, Irina countered the spear with Excalibur Mimic and Ascalon. 

 

 

"This…..not happening!!!!"

 

 

With a final shout, she channeled all her strength into the two holy swords in her hands and managed to direct the spear towards the main building of Kuoh Academy. 

 

 

*BOOM*

 

 

The spear destroyed the entire academy, and Irina glided over to Daniele and Xenovia, who had gathered enough strength. 

 

 

Irina, out of breath and covered in sweat, her hair covering her eyes, could barely speak. 

 

"The rest....is....up to.......you"

 

 

"Of course!!!/it's a mistake to say!!!!"

 

 

When Kokabiel saw that the situation was hopeless, he immediately resorted to Plan B, backup. A magic circle appeared next to his ear. 

 ---------------------------------------------

third person pov 

unknown area 

The place was like an apocalypse scene, everywhere was full of corpses and limbs, the scariest things were black swords sticking out of the ground, some of the corpses hanging in the air.

 

 

In the middle of them, a handsome young man with black hair was standing calmly and had a black dog next to him. 

 

 

Hearing sounds from one of the corpses caught his attention. 

 

 

".....where are you, come here urgently!support!!"

 

 

The boy's calm expression turned into a sarcastic one, and he picked up the corpse, approached the magic circle next to it, and spoke. 

 

 

 

 

"Azazel sends his regards, Kokabiel."

 

---------------------------------------------

 

third person pov

Kokabiel's eyes widened upon hearing the sound, why was the 'dog' there? Was Azazel aware of his plan? 

 

 

But when he connected the dots at that moment his eyes widened 

 

 

"....He used me"

 

 

But unfortunately for him there was no other moment 

 

 

†Great Cross†

 

 

Both Daniele and Xenovia swung their sword/axe diagonally to their sides 

 

 

 

The attack, emitting enormous golden holy power in the shape of an 'X', moved towards Kokabiel and at the last moment, the attack turned in a circular shape and moved towards Cadre's left side. 

 

 

*BOOOOOOOOOOM*

 

 

"DAMN YOU AZAZEL, STRADA!!!!!

 

 

 

The resulting enormous axe rose into the sky in the form of a golden pillar, and the wind pressure caused everyone to close their eyes. 

 

 

 

When the light disappeared, Kokabiel's left arm disappeared, and his left wings disappeared with it in the process. 

 

 

He had burns on his left side that spread all over his body and even up to his face. 

 

 

 

Kokabiel's eyes were blank, he stumbled a little and finally fell face down on the ground. 

 

 

"We...did it"

 

 

As Xenovia stumbled and fell, Daniele quickly grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. 

 

 

The soft body, wrapped in tight clothes, leaned against his own and buried her head in his neck. 

 

 

The momentary weight threw Daniele off balance, and he knelt down and continued to hug Xenovia. 

 

 

"Give me some help ir----"

 

 

Before he could finish his words, Irina also fell exhausted as she leaned her head on Daniele's shoulder. 

 

 

Bester approached Daniele with Asia on his back. 

 

 

Raiel was flitting anxiously around his master. 

 

 

"Well, place it comfortably, Bester."

 

 

Bester took a good look at his master's situation, then looked at Raiel, who was looking at him in the air. The two nodded as if they had made a decision, and Bester placed the blonde beauty with her head on Daniele's lap 

 

 

Daniele was giving Asia a lap pillow when he finally noticed 

 

 

Just as Daniele was about to protest, a blue light suddenly fell from the sky and penetrated the barrier created by the Sitri Peerage. 

 

As the blue light disappeared, there was a pure white armor decorated with blue jewels. 

 

"Nice entrance "

 

 

"You've turned into rags"

 

 

"And you shine like a disco ball"

 

At that moment, lightning was flying between the gazes of Daniele and the person in white armor. 

 

 

"*sigh* was it worth all this effort? "

 

 

"Worth it "

 

 

Daniele looked at the girls leaning on his and spoke 

 

 

"Anyway "

 

 

"Don't worry, it's alive"

 

 

 

"I'll take the exorcist and priest too"

 

 

"If they's still alive, he's yours "

 

 

 

The person in white armor picked up Kokabiel, then Freed, and fly slightly into the air.

 

 

"By the way, don't forget your debt"

 

 

"Yes, yes, it's a deluxe bowl, isn't it?"

 

 

"Three bowl deluxe size"

 

 

"Tsk, greedy bastard "

 

 

He turned his head once more and was about to take off when a new voice stopped him.

 

 

{How long will you ignore me, Albion}

 

 

{Well, don't blame me Ddraig, I didn't even know if you were awake or not, after all, we will meet eventually}

 

 

{True, we are destined to fight to the death, but why don't I feel any hostility from your host}

 

 

{Well, this generation's host is on the hunt for a very impressive and 'special' hunt, and all his focus is on it}

 

 

{Well, this generation of my host is also quite strange }

 

 

{*giggle* we're both interesting ------}

 

 

 

[Are you going to leave now? How long will you do this in vain?You two stupid lizards]

 

 

...

 

....

 

...

 

{{{Who the hell is lizard!!!!}}}

 

[Obviously you two idiots are here talking and talking, acting like you're cool! Go away now!!!!]

 

 

{You think you stupid cat}

 

 

{I agree with Albion, I guess it's because of our fight!!}

 

 

[You were a rival!!! When did you agree ]

 

 

{{{We not agree}}}

 

 

"Enough Albion, this is getting weird"

 

 

"I think we should leave it here, Regulus."

 

 

Issei was still trying to figure things out 

 

 

"Hyoudou Issei, I'm not asking you to be worth rival, but at least be worth fighting."

 

 

"O-Oi ! what does that mean!!"

 

 

 

Ignoring Issei's words, the armored figure rose into the air and disappeared with instant acceleration. 

 

 

"Who the hell was that!!!"

 

 

Daniele shrugged at Issei's question. 

 

 

"The opponent you are destined to fight to the death"

 

 

"W-what?"

 

 

"By the way, did I mention that  he was the most powerful user of all the white dragon hosts that have ever existed?"

 

 

At that moment something inside Issei broke. 

--------------------------------------------

Daniele pov

 

 

I ignored Hyoudou Issei's reaction and looked at the three girls who were aging at me 

 

 

[Things seriously went according to plan]

 

 

 

Flashback 

third person pov 

 

Now, as the Team was heading towards the church, Regulus had returned to Daniele's spirit once again. 

 

 

[Partner, there is a problem] 

 

 

 

 

[Dog, he's nearby ]

 

 

 

 

[Yes, I am sure ]

 

 

 

 

Daniele was lost in thought, why didn't Azazel intervene? 

 

 

 

Wait a second!

 

 

 

 

[Why ]

 

 

 

 

After a while 

 

 

[I found .He seriously here ]

 

 

 

[Did you find something? ]

 

 

 

 

 

[I'll handle it ]

 

--------------------------------------------

A rooftop near Kuoh academy 

 

 

Vali was sitting on the roof, preparing to eat the cup noodles in his hand.

 

 

He bit the stick he was holding in his other hand and broke it in half, but because of the sudden sound, The noodle in his hand was about to fall 

 

 

[Oi, Vali, are you there? ]

 

 

"I lawe imworwant wowk rigwt wow"(I have important work right now)

 

 

[What??]

 

 

The Vali's eyebrows twitched and he put the wooden stick in his mouth into his other hand. 

 

 

 

"I'm busy!!!!"

 

 

Vali shouted purple light in his right hand 

 

 

[.....You eat noodles, right?]

 

 

 

"....No "

 

 

[Anyway, please don't get involved in the Kokabiel issue. ]

 

 

 

"Are you really going to deprive me of my fight?"

 

 

[Come on, cut the bullshit. We both know Kokabiel won't stop your battle lust.Then I'll buy you a  deluxe ramen ]

 

 

"..... five"

 

 

[Three]

 

 

"Agreement!!!!"

 

 

[Damn it]

 

 

 

"But be careful not to kill him."

 

 

 

[Okay~~~]

---------------------------------------------

Once Daniele made the deal, all that was left was extra planning. 

 

 

The truth is that both Daniele and Vali can beat Kokabiel in Balance Breaker 

 

 

Kokabiel is not weak, but Longinus' influence is huge 

 

In Vali's case, in his Balance Breaker form, his speed far exceeds that of the Ultimate-Class. So much so that Kokabiel can't keep up. 

 

 

In Daniele's case, Kokabiel's ranged attacks cannot penetrate his defense, so it's left to melee combat, and Daniele's Balance Breaker form surpasses the Ultimate-class in terms of strength. 

 

 

So either way, Kokabiel's defeat situation was emerging, so Daniele chose not to use his Balance Breaker form. 

 

 

So why does Daniele go so far? 

 

 

Of course, for the sake of Irina and Xenovia 

 

 

Daniele was aware that Kokabiel would drop a bombshell on this occasion 

 

 

'Death of GoB'

 

 

He was aware of how much this incident would affect the two girls. 

 

 

Xenovia had lost her way so much that she chose to become devils directly without even telling Griselda.

 

 

Irina's way of dealing with this situation is to focus on Michael, the faith she has had since childhood.

 

 

 

Daniele didn't want the two of them to go through something like this, but he also had no intention of stopping Kokabiel because it was best if they learned and dealt with it now rather than later. 

 

 

So what was the way to overcome it? 

 

 

A target (punching bag) to direct their disappointment and sadness 

 

 

In short ----Kokabiel

 

 

Of course, this was very risky and Daniele would not normally do this, but there were various factors involved. 

 

 

First, Tobio can perform instantaneous movement in and out of the shadows.

 

 

Vali, owner of the fastest Sacred Gear Divine Dividing

 

 

And the phoenix tears he received from sister Riel

 

 

With these, the danger of the incident decreased several times.

 

-------------------------------------------

Flashback end

 

 

Daniele finally relaxed and then looked at the girls in his arms. 

 

 

He would protect them, no matter what .

 

 

Now even Asia was among the people he had to protect for him, but the only problem was...how will he stand up? 

 

 

Seriously, if he lifts them up, he'll feel terrible, after all, they're all tired. 

 

 

'....SOMEONE HELP ME!!!'
