Chapter 28. Rean vs Sirzechs!.
Sirzechs Lucifer stared into Rean's eyes, with a frown on his face, he knew he had been made and that Rean knew what he was planning to do with him, but he couldn't admit to it, not with all of the noble class devils present in this party.
He knew what he did was wrong but he needed to help Rias somehow however it seems like his plan backfired, now his wife is severely injured 'and this on itself made him very worried because he knows how powerful Grayfia is' and Rean was here, very angry and more than likely not willing to help Rias.
However what shocked him the most is the fact that Serafall was here as well and was actually moving against him, he knows that she's aware of what he was planning but out of everyone in the world he expected Serafall to understand why he was doing this, to his shock he was about to find out that no, Serafall was not willing to be understanding of his and his sister's situations.
Serafall then spoke up to red headed maou "Sirzechs I know you were planning to have Rean save Rias, the fact that you sent Grayfia and that this invitation is enchanted to teleported him here with a trigger is proof of this".
Serafall then threw the invitation towards him which landed in front of Sirzechs while the devils present in the engagement party gasped in shock while Zeoticus Gremory and Lord Phenex glared at Sirzechs.
Suddenly we were surrounded by guards of the Phenex family but Serafall and I reacted right away, Serafall tapped the ground with one of her feet and the guards standing behind us were instantly flash frozen solid, Serafall then waved an arm and the guards frozen bodies shattered.
I activated my skill Petra Eyes and the guards in front of us instantly began turned into stone, they petrified so fast that they didn't even have time to scream, I then waved a hand and the now stone statues broke apart like sand.
The devils all stared stunned not able to understand what was going, Sirzechs was just staring at Serafall and me, not really understanding our intentions nor why we were here if we weren't going to help Rias but Venelana Gremory seems to understand what I was planning or at least recognize the situation for what it is.
She stood up along lady Sitri and spoke up to me "I'm sorry mr?".
Serafall and I turned our gazes towards Venelana and gave her our attention, I closed my eyes and sighed, a few seconds later I opened my eyes and answered her unspoken question "my name is Rean Hayashi".
Lady Sitri nodded at Serafall in pride for some reason and Serafall blushed, Lady Gremory then gave me a polite smile "Mr Hayashi, I apologize for what my son tried to do to you, I'm sure he had the best of intentions in mind and only wanted to help his sister, I hope you can forgive him".
Serafall huffed and I stared into Lady Gremory's eyes "I'm sorry but no, I can't do that, you see I have told both Sona and Rias that I wanted nothing to do with your faction but then I keep finding myself dragged to their affairs anyways so I have to show that I'm not a push over, that I'm not going to just roll over and allow any devil to just do or say what they want to me and I'm going to start with your son, I'm going to beat him to an inch of his life and then I'm going to rip an arm off so he never forgets that I'm not one to mess with...".
Serafall then spoke up "Rean is also my boyfriend and I'm not about to allow any devil to mess with him, I don't care if they're a devil or that they're from my faction, I'll always side with him!, I'm sorry mom, dad! but I decided that Rean is the one I want to spend my life with!".
Lord Sitri just smiled and gave Serafall a thumbs up while Lady Sitri just softly smiled at her daughter, I saw Serafall tear up but she quickly blinked to get rid of the incoming tears and then went back to glaring at Sirzechs.
Venelana Gremory stared into my eyes and then sadly sighed, she then turned towards her son and frowned at him "how many times have I told you to stop meddling with Rias? she's not a child anymore, you can't keep protecting her like this Sirzechs...".
Sirzechs frowned but didn't say anything and then picked up Grayfia from the floor, he gently carried her to Akeno who was completly stunned about everything that was happening right now, she snapped out of it when Sirzechs handed her the unconscious Grayfia.
It seems like Sirzechs finally understood that I wasn't here for a talk nor for an apology, I was here to fight and hurt him, so the red headed maou then walked up to my front and stared into my eyes.
He was about to say something to me but someone's obnoxious laughter interrupted him and caused everyone to turn around to stare at the one that decided that everything happening right now was some sort of a joke.
Ravel who had moved closer to her parents, stared with wide eyes and expression of pure and unadulterated horror took over her face the moment she saw that it was her brother Riser who decided to suddenly laughed at loud for some unknown reason.
Her mother lady Phenex noticed her daughter distress and grew concerned for her "Ravel? sweetie what's wrong?".
Raven shakely turned her head towards her mother and lady Phenex was shocked to see that her daughter was on the verge of crying "m-mom big brother is going to get killed...".
Lady Phenex's eyes widen in shock, Ravel looked so scared and she herself began to get a bad feeling about all of this, she then turned her head towards her son who was still mockingly laughing.
Riser Phenex to the shock of Rias and Sona began to loudly and obnoxiously laugh for some reason "hahaha! I'm sorry?! but are you serious? you a human wants to hurt a devil much less lord Lucifer? Riser thinks your too full of yourse-agh!".
I didn't let the fool finish talking, just listening to his voice and the way he spoke in third person grated on my nerves to no end and I was definitely not in the mood to let some asshole looked down on me, not today.
So I pointed a finger at him and with my other hand I used Psychic to push Rias away from him as I used one of my many skills I leveled up to the max for occasions just like these "Aqua Benedicta!, Hydro Pump!".
On the tip of my finger an orb of holy water began to coalesced and grow until I then fired a Hydro Pump of holy water straight into Riser.
Aqua Benedicta is a skill that allows me to turn any source of water into holy water, combined with any water spell or technique and I have a perfect way to ruin any devil's day.
My holy Hydro Pump hit Riser full on and then blasted him against the wall behind him, the devils around us panicked and screamed being able to sense the holy power in the water and Sirzechs actually grunted in pain when some of the water actually splashed on him since the stream passed by him too close.
I let up my water attack dissipate and let Riser drop on the ground where he then began to scream in agony as as his skin melted and steamed from the holy water, the fact that he was constantly regenerating just prolonged his suffering futher, in addition I also received I notification of the fact that I have received the skill Flame Regeneration from watching Riser's try to heal the damage from the holy water I hit him with.
I then turned to the rest of the devils watching all of this happen "anyone else has something else to say? I'm more than happy to deal with each and every one of you that do later but right now I'm not in the mood and my business is with Sirzechs Lucifer so kindly stay out of this!".
All the devils gulped and Serafall just smiled at me, it seems like she approves of my show of force, I then turn back to Sirzechs who was now staring at me in stunned silence until he seemingly snapped out of it "are you an Exorcist? and angel perhaps? they're the only ones who use holy water... but I've never seen anything like this before either, you must know that this can cause war between heaven and the devils right?".
Sirzechs now knew he has seriously messed up, Rean Hayashi was a serious threat and he knew that now, the sheer level of holy energy in that Holy water was immense, something he had only seen in Gabriel the Seraph and made hi dangerous to every devil present here.
I frowned and glared at the red headed devil "I'm neutral, I don't belong to any faction and that's the way its going to stay, it seems like you believe no one powerful can exist if they don't belong to the three Judeo Christian Factions but the world is a lot bigger than the devils, fallen and angels, despite what all of you think, you aren't the center of the universe!".
Sirzechs frowned "listen... I apologize that I've upset you but I really didn't have any other choice, in recompense tell me what you want, as long as I can provide it I'll make sure you get it, just please forget about all of this and leave".
Ravel and Lady Phenex ran up to Riser who was still screaming in agony from the holy water I just hit him with, the fact that my attacks do spiritual damage and can ignore all of his resistances must be making his suffering ten fold, however the two female devils couldn't even get close because the water around Riser had enough holy energy that it began to hurt them as soon as they tried to get close.
Meanwhile I just huffed at Sirzechs "like I told your sister when she asked for my help, I don't need anything, I'm more than capable of getting what I or the people I love need".
Rias who had landed besides her mother was being helped up by her, Zeoticus tried to help Rias up but she slapped his hand away and glared at him causing the lord Gremory to looked down sad that his daughter was stillad at him.
Sirzechs frowned and was about to speak but Serafall cut him off before he could begin to "Sirzechs, you can't talk yourself out of this one, you had this coming and you know it, this is also the last straw for me, I'm tired of always having to defend this type of stupidity from my own race to the other factions and to make things worse you actually dared to send your wife to my territory and planned to kidnap my boyfriend, did you think you would get away with this? did you really believe I would I would let go? no Sirzechs you might be an old friend but not this time, this time your going to man up and take your hits like a man".
I took Serafall's words as my cue and let go of the restraints on my power and then chaos befell what once was an engagement party in the Underworld.
My Stardust purple energy flared to life and danced around me as the entire underworld shook from the force of my power, the ground below me cracked as my power began to increase and increase.
All the devils screamed in fright and began to run to try to escape the place, to try to get away from who they consider monster and form my energy which began to whip around and destroy everything around me.
Sirzechs just stared in shock as my power and energy kept increasing but what concerned him the most was the fact that he still couldn't sense it, he can see it but he can't sense the energy nor the source of my power "just who... what are you? Serafall! what sort of being are you dating!?".
From somewhere in the back lord Sitri was heard cheering loudly "wooo! that's my son in law! take that Zeoticus!".
Sona groaned in embarrassment while both lady Sitri and Serafall giggled, I myself smirked at lord Sitri *I see where Serafall got her cheerful attitude from but right now I have to focus*.
Still I give lord Sitri a grin and nod, I then turned my sight towards Sirzechs and tighten my fist as I got ready for a fight.
Sirzechs noticed my look and felt my intent which caused him tensed up in response while also getting ready himself, we stared at each other eyes for what seemed a long time while Rias, Sona, Venelana, Zeoticus, the Sitris and the Phenex stared at us waiting for one of us to make the first move.
They instinctively knew that if they got to close they would get hurt or might even die, Serafall was the only one standing besides me completely unaffected by my energy as she grinned and then said "Sirzechs? you might want to grit your teeth".
Sirzechs turned his head towards Serafall and seemed confused as to why she would say that but then his eyes widen when I suddenly teleported in front of him and crouched low.
My fist began to glow with my Stardust energy and Ki, I then I swung my fist full force towards Sirzechs chin, the move was so fast and unexpected that the red headed devil didn't have any time react and couldn't dodge "Shoryuken!".
Sirzechs Lucifer was then launched through the cealing from the force of my Ki enhance jumping uppercut with a loud bam, the shock wave unleashed by the collision between my fist and Sirzechs chin was powerful enough to actually make a few devils to actually be sent flying back.
I wasted no time and flew up following Sirzechs through the same hole he created on his way up, Serafall followed soon after, leaving a salon full of scared and confused devils on what to do next.
Venelana sighed and then turned her head towards her husband who flinched when he noticed the cold look on her face "this is all your fault Zeoticus... you and you damn hurry to have your daughter marry to the Phenex clan, you made your daughter and son feel that they had to rely to these sort of methods, for Rias to regain her freedom".
Zeoticus frowned and looked down "it's just... I wanted our family to come together... me and lord Phenex have been friends for so long that it just felt natural, we thought that Rias's and Riser's differences could be worked on after they got married, like ours did...".
Venelana just huffed and shook her head "you foolish husband of mine, we were both willing to work on our marriage to make it work, Rias has been pleading and screaming at you that she wants nothing to do with young Riser, I'm sorry lord Phenex but you have to be aware of your son's reputation no? why insist in something that Rias's clearly refuses to do?".
Lord Phenex tiredly sighed "well... me and my wife were hoping that Rias would make Riser settle down, she a good strong girl and my hope was that she could help Riser come down from that high pedestal he seems to be on top of, I just didn't think that your daughter and your son would be this opposed to it...".
Lord Phenex turned his head to his wife who looked at him and nodded, Lord Phenex tiredly sighed "I'm sorry old friend but I think we should rethink this engagement, it's wasn't my intention for this wedding to cause so much trouble to Rias and Sirzechs".
Zeoticus nodded and sadly smiled at his friend "yes, I think your right sigh... I'm starting to thing that perhaps we really are too stuck with the old ways old friend Hahaha perhaps it's time to step aside and let the children do what they think it's best for their own future".
Venelana, lord Phenex and Lady Phenex nodded with a sad smile, they truly didn't expect for all of this to happen because of their wishes to unite their families but they really should have known better that to force a devil to do something that they don't want to do.
Ravel however could only stared at her big brother who finally fell unconscious from the immense amount of pain he was feeling, she still couldn't approach him since he was soaked with holy water but now, she wanted to see Rean fight against lord Lucifer.
She was anxious to actually see him fight again, the battle in Kyoto was just too quick for her but now he was facing a Super Devil and she was very curious as to how Rean measures up against the epitome of her race.
Lady Phenex noticed her daughter anxiety and how she would look over the hole where that powerful and strange young man flew after Sirzechs, she rose an eyebrow but then softly smiled "Ravel?".
Ravel turned her head towards her mother "err yes mother?".
Lady Phenex knowingly smiled which caused Ravel to tense up and feel very worried for some reason "Is that the boy you've been stalking recently?".
Ravel panicked and jumped a bit at being called out so casually by her mother like that "w-what!? how did you kno- ahem! I don't know what your talking about mother..".
Lady Phenex covered her mouth with her hand as she giggled at her daughter's reaction while Ravel blushed and then turned her head away with hmph, Lady Phenex then leaned forward and whispered to her daughter "a mother always knows Ravel now come on, I want to see why this boy has you so interested in him".
With that said lady Phenex grabbed her protesting daughter's hand and the pulled her up as she flew out the hole made by Sirzechs sudden launch to the air, everyone looked on for a few seconds until Zeoticus couldn't help but say "I must say my old friend, your wife is as fearless as usual".
Lord Phenex awkwardly chuckled because he knew better than anyone how much of an adventurer his wife is, then both Venelana and Lady Sitri looked at each other and then smiled, then they nodded at each other and both suddenly took off flying to catch up to their friend and daughter.
The husbands just stood there and sweatdropped at being so callously abandoned by their wives until lord Sitri coughed and then spoke "well! I'm going to go watch my son in law beat the shit out of your son Zeoticus!".
With that said lord Sitri flew after his wife and friends while Zeoticus growled and yelled at his old friend "what!? get back here you wet toad!".
Zeoticus then flew after his friend leaving lord Phenex behind, the lord just sighed and shook his head "it's like everyone refuses to grow up I swear but... this does feel like the good old days".
With that said lord Phenex also flew out to follow his old friends and wife like in the good old days when they would drag him to all sorts of trouble and adventures.
Both Sona and Rias looked up and watched their parents leave the salon like a bunch of kids leaving class for lunch and couldn't help but to sweatdrop, Rias was the first one to speak afyer a few moments of silence "... our parents are crazy Sona...".
Sona nodded and after a while they sighed and opted to help the rest of the devils evacuate the salon and Phenex territory with the help of their peerages.
Meanwhile everyone seemed to have forgotten Riser who was still on the floor unconscious and groaning in pain from the holy water still soaking his clothes and the floor where he laid, the truth was that no one really cared enough to help him since they could still feel the holy power coming off the water and they didn't want to get hurt.
Only his peerage was seen actively fretting over him and trying to get close to somehow try to help him, they we're very successful in do so however.
Once outside lady Phenex and Ravel watched as Rean suddenly spin kicked Sirzechs towards the ground from where they were floating, they looked around a bit and caught site of Serafall floating above the salon watching Rean fight Sirzechs.
Soon they were followed by Venelana and lady Sitri, after them came Lord Sitri and then Zeoticus along lord Phenex, Serafall must have felt their presence because she turned her head towards them as a massive explosion of blue fire and purple energy suddenly stired the air around the entired area.
As the wind blew Serafall's hair and clothes around she gave everyone a grin as the explosion subsided, Serafall then turned her head back to where Rean and Sirzechs are fighting.
The devils curious as to how the battle was going they all floated up to Serafall's side and looked down only for their eyes to widen in both awe and shock.
Sirzechs is certainly very strong and very powerful, even though I'm obviously more powerful than him he's been able to somewhat match me with my hand to hand skills along with minimizing the amount of damage he was receiving from all of my attacks.
The bastard sure is worthy of his tittle of of the strongest devil 'well as far as he knows because is definitely stronger than him' but I'm not about to let him keep thinking he's a match for me.
As the explosion from my Explosion spell fused with my Stardust energy and Hellfire subsided I was able to catch sight of Sirzechs who's cape has been completely destroyed by my master class fire spell.
He's surrounded by a thin barrier of his PoD which protected him somewhat from my spell, he then looked up to me and glared, I just frowned because even now I can see that he believes that I'm not worth taking seriously, is was the same look Kiba was giving me when I fought him so I decided to stop playing around.
In a blink of an eye I teleported behind him, he must have sense me because he immediately turned around to try to elbow me in the face but I stopped time for one second and then punched him in the stomach with a Fire Punch that ignited his body in blue flames, however he ignored the flames hurting him physically and spiritually and lashed out a combo of punches.
I quickly dodge the first two jabs to my face and then block the third one with my elbow causing Sirzechs to grunt in pain since I had used Harden on my elbow to make it more solid.
Watching him grimaced in pain I then lashed out a knee to his chest with a High jump Kick but he quickly blocked it by bringing his arms up to cover his chest, there was a big bang from the collision of our hits, the earth and trees were beginning to be destroyed or be torn apart by the Shockwaves caused by our physical attacks, as the red maou blocked my attack I pushed him back and quickly begin to spin in the air until I lashed out with a blue fire Blaze Kick to his head but he moved his head to the side to dodge it though I was still able to cut his cheek and burn it a bit.
We then pushed each other back but I didn't let him rest and immediately teleported to his side with my Stardust energy and dragonic energy engulfing both of my hands in the form of claws, Sirzechs's eyes widen and he was barely able to jump back to dodge my double Dragon Claw but he was sent flying back as result of when my attack hit the ground and exploded from the force of the impact.
Sirzechs however was able to recover in mid air by using his wings but I then open my mouth and fired an Aeroblast straight at him.
Sirzechs growled as he watched the massive beam of blueish white energy heading his way and created a shield with his magic circle but the shield was nowhere close to strong enough to block my legendary class attack and almost instantly cracked.
However it held long enough for him to push himself away from the beam which continued to travel behind until it hit a hill and exploded on impact unleashing a giant show of wind and energy.
But Sirzechs wasn't allowed to admire the aftermath of my Flying Type attack because I had immediately launched myself at him the moment I saw him push himself away from my Aeroblast.
He raised another shield to try and block my next attack but I rose my entire fist which began to glow and then brought it down as hard as I could with a Brick Break attack which instantly shattered his shield and my attack hit him full on "ghag!".
The red headed devil grunted in pain as my Brick Break hit him on the shoulder, unleashing another massive shockwave that torn the ground around us apart even more and sent him flying down to the ground where he violently crashed.
I then cupped my hands and gathered both Ki and my Stardust energy between them creating a big ball of energy "Hadoken!".
To my disappointment Sirzechs stood up too fast and then punched my Hadoken, he struggled for a second until he roared and then finally pushed it away from him.
It still hit the ground besides him and exploded sending him twirling through the air for a bit but he was still able to land on his feet, he then looked at his hand and frowned when he saw it be scorched and bleeding from my Hadoken.
Ever since I got the Ansatsuken fighting style and unlocked the energy Ki by learning the Hadoken and Shoryuken I began to look over the shop list for skills that require the user to be able to know how to harness Ki in order to use, to get some really powerful moves and I was able to find the perfect set for me, they were expensive as all hell, though it doesn't surprise me considering who they belong to.
Plus grinding them was hard since the were massive destruction type techniques and usually tended to destroy an entire area inside the Instant Dungeons.
So I today I was going to show one of them off and used it against Sirzechs maybe he'll survive but at this point I no longer cared, my dragonic instincts and blood were screaming at me to keep hurting him, to show him my power.
Don't get me wrong I'm very lucid and aware, I haven't turned into a berserker or anything like that, it was just... *this is fun! fighting and showing the fruits of my hard work feels great! especially against someone who can actually fight back!.*.
I let out a roar as my Stardust energy flared to life once more and began to surge out of my body, I raised my hand above my head and then pulled them down and point them towards Sirzechs "Stardust Fall!".
A massive amount of my energy coalesce into my hands and then I fire it off unleashing a enormous rain of Ki Spheres of purple energy towards Sirzechs.
Serafall smiled as she watched her boyfriend fight with a smirk on his face and once she noticed what attack he was going to use she silently raised a barrier that not only covered her but also the salon building and the devils watching the fight.
The Sitris, the Gremory and the Phenex watched with widen eyes as Rean rain down a giant amount of energy spheres towards the leader of their faction who could only watched as he was overtaken by the attack.
Sirzechs cried out in pain as he was continously hit by the rain of energy spheres that began to explode as they collided against him and the ground.
Then a massive explosion engulfed him and the same explosion began destroying a big part of the Phenex's territory, the explosion shook the entire territory and could be seen by everyone even from far away but the worst was the loud boom that not only released a massive shockwave that destroyed windows all over the Underworld but also terrified all the devils living in the Underworld who were going about their day.
Ladies Sitri, Phenex, Venelana and Ravel screamed in fright from the bright light and massive explosion that practically blew up on their faces.
The lords however couldn't believe the power Rean was showing though lord Phenex frowned when he saw part of his territory being destroyed "damn, that's going to cost a lot to fix...".
Serafall giggled "don't worry lord Phenex, Rean and I will put everything as it was, I promise".
Lord Phenex nodded and smiled happily that he didn't have to pay for all of these damages, lord Sitri floated up to Serafall's side and patted her head "that's a very interesting and powerful boyfriend you have my child".
Serafall brightly smiled at her father "he's the best papa! and I love him very much!".
Lord Sitri stared at his oldest daughter in the eyes and saw them sparkled and shine so brightly that in his mind he saw her as the same baby who opened her eyes for the first time and looked at him with those same sparkling and bright eyes.
Lord Sitri teared up, he had though that he would never again see those eyes on his daughter again, he so regretted the fact that Serafall had to go to war sp young that time so long ago because when it was all over and she had come back her eyes stopped sparkling and shinning like this but now those beautiful eyes were back and he had Rean to thank for that.
So lord Sitri turned his head toward lady Sitri who had recovered from her sudden fright and turned to look at both her husband and daughter when she heard them speak, she smiled and nodded to her husband who nodded and smiled back at her.
Then lord Sitri turned back to his daughter "well, make sure you bring your boyfriend to visit us Serafall, I want to get to know my future son in law".
Serafall blushed and widen her eyes as her father already whole heartily accepted Rean, she sheepishly smiled and nodded while still blushing, specially since her father started to loudly laugh and pat her head "mou! don't laugh at me father!".
From the inside of the salon, Rias, Sona and their peerages were watching the fight between Rean and Sirzechs from some of the destroyed widows in the son, all of them were sweating out of fear because of the fact that someone that powerful has been living so close to them and they never knew.
But most of them were pretty much tense and worried about the fact that Rean could have easily kill them all, especially Kiba and Akeno who know they have annoyed him at some point, they now knew they were lucky that Rean seems to be more than happy to ignore them all and just live his life in peace.
Rias who watched as her brother was blasted by a massive rainfall of energy spheres "Sona?...".
Sona who was besides her and gaping turned her head towards Rias "y-yes?".
Rias then turned towards her best friend "if I ever get the bright idea to bother Rean again, I want you to smack me as hard as you can...".
Sona stared at Rias for a good long second and then nodded "...only if you do the same to me".
Rias nodded while her cousin who had come to the engagement party to be there for Rias suddenly laughed out loud "what a strong and fun looking guy! I want to fight him too!".
Rias and Sona gaped at Sairaorg Bael not believing that he wanted to fight the monster who was playing around with the maou Lucifer so easily, not that the young Bael cared since he was having fun watching the incredible fight going on outside the salon.
I stared down towards the explosion that had engulfed Sirzechs and smirked as I saw a pillar of crimson red and black energy break through the explosion dissipating it or rather consuming it with the PoD in the pillar of energy "... ready to take me seriously now devil?".
Sirzechs emerged from the pillar and looked up at me, his eyes glowing crimson red as he stares at me from below, from here I can see that my attack had caused some serious injuries since his clothes were damaged and he was lightly bleeding.
Sirzechs spread his arms and a multitude of highly concentrated orbs of PoD began to orbit around him *it seems like he wants to repay me the favor, too bad it won't do him any good*.
I raised my open hand in front of me and summon Excalibur from within my soul, she appeared in my hand in a flash of gold and purple light in her Tachi form, her blade gleamed under the light of the artificial sun of the Underworld.
Every devil presently watching the fight 'except Serafall who Excalibur would never hurt' began to shiver and feel an instinctual fear towards the Japanese styled sword that Rean just summoned forth.
The adults watching the fight outside with Serafall immediately recognized the sensation and it was Venelana who spoke up about it "a holy sword? and a extremely powerful one at that... but how? and which one is it?".
Serafall turned her head towards Venelana and smiled at her "sorry aunty Venelana but that's a secret Rean wants to keep from anyone other than the people he lives with".
Venelana nodded in understanding, just the fact that Rean possess a holy blade of such power is big enough as it is but knowing the identity of the blade itself might cause panic or fear among the devils and the church who more than likely would come to either recruit Rean or to get his blade.
Rias once again was glad that Rean chose not to personally fight them, especially with that blade of his, she knew he was an excellent swordsman but never in her mind had she ever imagine that he has possession of a holy blade.
She turned her gaze towards Kiba who was now glaring at Rean and she spoke up "Yuuto, your not allowed to approach Rean nor ask him about that sword, do I make myself clear? if you disobey I'll make sure you stay at home with mom to keep an eye on you".
Kiba turned his head towards Rias and glared but nodded anyways "... yes I understand.. ".
Rias shook her head noticing his attitude "yuuto, if you aggravate him, he will kill you and there's nothing I could do to prevent that, just look outside, he's facing my brother as if it was nothing...".
Kiba turned his gaze towards outside and frowned but nodded in understanding, he can clearly see that Rean is on a level that was just way out of his league, he wasn't happy about it but it was for the best to avoid getting Rean pissed off, for now at least.
Sirzechs frowned the moment he saw Rean summon up that holy blade, even being engulfed in his PoD he can still feel his skin steam and burn from the Intensity of the sword's holy energy.
As soon as I had Excalibur in my hand I engulfed her blade in my Stardust energy which then combined with her holy energy causing Excalibur to glow is a golden and purple light.
Like this Excalibur looks like a very unique Lightsaber and with one of the new skills I bought a while ago because of my need of a defensive blade style for my arsenal I was ready to defend against Sirzechs's next attack.
The skill I bought? the Lightsaber form III Soresu which combined with Calm Mind and my Aura Sense makes a very solid defensive style, it was thanks to YunYun and Wiz that I was able to grind this skill to master level fast since I had them throw light spears at me at high-speed for me to deflect though I think the girls were having way too much fun shooting at me.
So when I watched Sirzechs wave his arms forwards and the orbs of PoD shot towards me at high-speed but to his shock I just smiled and proceeded to easily bat them away from me for a while until I eventually was able to deflect them back at him.
He then waved his arm again and destroyed them before they even got close to him, though I was already on the move and appeared in front of him in a blur.
Both of us began to exchange blows, me with Excalibur engulfed in my Stardust energy and her holy energy while Sirzechs used his arms completely engulfed in his PoD.
Our blows were destroying the area arounds us even more than before as both of our energies would lashed out in bolts of energy that would utterly destroyed anything that they touched.
Pure devastation and destruction razed the Phenex Territory but both Sirzechs and I weren't slowing down though the red headed devil was beginning to sweat a bit from his injuries and Excalibur's holy aura, he's very smart to use his PoD to counter the holy energy otherwise he would have die a while ago.
It doesn't matter how strong a devil is, Holy energy will always be their weakness and even though Sirzechs is minimizing the damage he's still getting affected by it.
So as we both yell out I launched a massive wave of holy Stardust energy towards the red maou who respond with a big beam of highly concentrated PoD, both of our attack met half way and fought for dominance for about a a second but my holy slash eventually won and broke through his beam and travel all the way to him.
Sirzechs jumped to the side to try and avoid the wave of holy energy but he was too slow and one of his arms was cut off, he rolled on the ground and grunted in pain from losing a limb.
He quickly got up and grabbed hold of his stump to prevent himself from bleeding to death and turn his head towards where his arm had landed.
To his dismay however, his arm instantly turned to ash from the overexposure of holy energy, he then turned his head towards me, he glared and growled in pain "fuck...".
I twirled Excalibur around a bit as the leftover Stardust energy flickered off of her blade as I just glared at Sirzechs "I hope that hurt a lot asshole...".
Sirzechs grunted and then frowned at me, he then huffed and stood up straight "I shouldn't have ever involved you...".
I just scoffed and pointed Excalibur at him "too little too late for regrets and beside the only reason your regretting what you did right now, is because I'm strong enough to defend myself if I was any other guy in this world I would've have been force to help your sister in fear of you...".
Sirzechs looked down and grimaced at the fact that I was speaking the truth, he then looked up at me "do you really hate devils that much? why?".
I rolled my eyes at him and shrugged "I don't hate devils, I mean Serafall is my girlfriend after all and I lover her, no this is not about hate, this is about the fact that I don't want to get involved with any factions but you people just don't know how to leave something well alone! Azazel also tried to recruit me, do you know what happened to him? Serafall taught him a lesson".
Sirzechs flinched from the pain he was currently feeling right now "Serafall did something to Azazel? but why? Serafall is the maou in charge of foreign affairs, she would never do such a thing".
I just raised an eyebrow at the red maou and shook my head "you should know Serafall better than that, Azazel waltzed into Kuoh town where not only Serafall lives but also her little and the idiot tried to come in a shop under her territory and callously approached her boyfriend, how else did you think she would react? she beat the shit out of him and then took one of his arms off".
Sirzechs flinched upon hearing what happened to Azazel and inwardly he was very worried about the peace talks him, Azazel and Michael had been working towards "... damn it Azazel... so what now?".
"What now? well now I'm going to blast you with the strongest attack I have from my sword and hope you survive it, I am here to show the devils I'm not one to mess with, this is what me, Serafall and the rest of the people we love have decided on! everytime someone dares mess around with one of us we'll show them why it isn't a good idea! get ready Sirzechs Lucifer!".

Sirzechs frowned and jumped back as I pull back Excalibur and held her above my head, Sirzechs began to gather all of his mana and began to engulfed himself in his PoD, the red maou was transforming into his true form, the Embodiment of Destruction.
But I wasn't concern not when I had Excalibur at my side, my Excalibur is a Noble Phantasm a crystallized mystery, she is and always be the The Sword of Promised Victory one not ever used by anyone but me, this version of Excalibur has grown and evolved along side me and as a weapon that rest within my soul it has also obtained all of my skills.
So her Noble Phantasm has changed, it has taken on a form that manifest her desire to protect me, to embrace the one she recognizes as her chosen wielder, this version of Excalibur wielded by Rean Hayashi unleashed her full power for the first time ever.
The entire underworld became surrounded by small orbs of purple Holy Stardust energy but surprisingly enough no other devil aside from Sirzechs was hurt by the small orbs of light.
All the devils who witness to this watched in awe as the orbs of light began to dance around like fireflies in the dark, children became enamored by the lights and even dared to touch them only to laugh or giggle at how warm and soft they felt.
Meanwhile Serafall and her company watched with widen eyes as the beautifu small purple orbs of Stardust energy dance around them, Serafall open her palm and some of the orbs began to gather on it.
Serafall smiled as she felt that same warmth she feels from Rean come from the small orbs of light, Lady Sitri looked around and everywhere she saw there were these orbs of light beautifully floating around "beautiful...".
Everyone nodded in agreement, in all their years none of the lords and ladies watching all of this happened have ever seen anything like this.
Inside the salon Rias, Sona and their peerages looked around in awe as they too watched orbs of purple light dance around everywhere.
As I held Excalibur above my head I felt myself be engulfed by her energy, my sword, my Excalibur manifested behind me as a feminine figure made out of purple Holy Stardust energy and hugged me tightly from behind *let's go master, let show this world all we have accomplished together, let's show them our power!*.
I looked back and gazed upon where her eyes would be if this form of hers had eyes, she looks like a feminine mass of energy but I know it's her, I know this is Excalibur holding me tightly because that same emotion I feel from her when she speaks to me flared from within my very soul as soon as she touched me.
I smiled at Excalibur and nodded "then let's do this together!".
Excalibur nodded back and then reached up to hold my hands as I held her sword form above my head and both of our energy flared to life engulfing us and Excalibur's sword form.
Sirzechs continued to gather all of his mana for one more final attack, his PoD was now completely black in color from the density and quantity of mana in it, twelve bat like wings spread from behind his back and he then roared and unleashed a massive orb of highly condense black PoD that began to devastate everything on its path "Ruin the Extinct!".
Watching the massive orb of PoD coming my way I then got ready and begin to gather all of mine and Excalibur's energy into her blade and then with a roar thrusted Excalibur forward "Excalibur! Luminous Advent Dragon!".
From Excalibur's blade a large beam of purple Holy Stardust energy shot forward with four smaller beams spiraling around it.
My Noble Phantasm an Anti World in rank beam of Stardust energy merged with Excalibur's Holy light raced forward and met Sirzechs's massive orb of PoD and met halfway.
Sirzechs attack which was at best a country destroyer was pierced through instantly and was destroyed by my attack easily, It continued to travel forward until it reached and hit Sirzechs who in a desperate attempt to save his life he unleashed the full force of his Power of Destruction as he was then engulfed by the biggest and strongest explosion caused by me so far.
A giant Pillar of purple light rose from the explosion all the way to the sky of the underworld showing its magnificence to all the devils of the underworld.
I watched in in awe at the force of my Noble Phantasm as Excalibur kept hugging me from behind, she then whispered into my ear *this new Noble Phantasm is on level 1 master and it's already powerful enough to destroyed worlds, thankfully I was able to pull back it's power quite a bit, otherwise we might have caused the underworld to collapse, do becareful with this ability of ours in the future Rean, you and Serafall would have survived the collapse but her family and sister wouldn't*.
I nodded in agreement, this attack is really powerful, far more than my Drago Nova so I have to grind it and train with it to control it, I can't just go around firing beams of world destroying levels for fun.
After a few long minutes the pillar of purple energy finally subsided and began to dissipated, once it was over I put away Excalibur as her avatar of energy dissipated in flash of orbs of purple lights
I then began to float to the massive crater left over from my Noble Phantasm, I can still feel Sirzechs's energy signature, it seems like the stubborn bastard is alive but I wanted to make sure.
Serafall watched as her boyfriend floated over the massive crater left by the aftermath of his technique, she was actually very surprised by this new skill of his since he had never used it before but she can understand why.
The massive amount of destruction caused by it was too much, she was actually a bit afraid for a second there, thankfully nothing happened and she was thankful for that "sigh... looks like it's over, come on everyone it seems like Sirzechs actually survived that so let go see how he's doing".
The Sitri, the Gremory and The Phenex nodded, though they're were utterly speechless and stunted at what they just have seen, nonetheless everyone was worried about Sirzechs and wanted to see how he was doing and so everyone took off flying towards where both Rean and Sirzechs were.
I reached over where I sensed Sirzechs energy and found him on the ground completely covered in nasty burns and bleeding profusely from his stump, he was having a hard time breathing and coughing hard once in a while.
I walked over to him and then looked down towards his face "hmm I'm surprised you survived that but then again when you use that form of yours you become the very concept of destruction... it was just enough to protect you from my attack but it hurt like hell didn't it?".
Sirzechs actually dryly laughed and then coughed "... you crazy bastard... haha... you actually held back that attack right?... I felt you pull back just before it reached me...".
I grinned and shook my head "it wasn't me, my sword is sentient and she held back because we could have destroyed the Underworld, Serafall and I would have survived but the rest of everyone living here? no and Serafall would have been sad if that happened and that's the last thing I ever want to do".
Sirzechs coughed and the chuckled "I see... so your really a good guy... I understand why you caught Serafall's heart... for what is worth I'm sorry...".
I sighed and looked up for a few seconds to stare at the artificial sky of the Underworld, I then spoke up to Sirzechs "it's fine, I got all of that anger out of system but you should really apologize to Serafall too, she might hide it but she's very angry at both you and Grayfia".
Sirzechs sighed and then looked up towards the sky as well"... I will... you know, that was the best fight I have ever had in my life... hehe... it was sort of fun...".
I looked down at Sirzechs and raised an eyebrow "sigh... you devils are weird..".
Sirzechs chuckled and then coughed "argh!... don't make me laugh, jerk!...".
I just shook my head and chuckled at the red headed maou, I'm glad he doesn't hold a grudge and he understands he was in the wrong, well I'm not really surprised though Sirzechs isn't a bad guy from what I know from the anime so it isn't surprising, this version of him seems a bit stupid from the one in the anime though, but oh well.
Suddenly I was glomped from behind causing me to grunt in surprise and fall on top of Sirzechs who grunted and then passed out from the pain "ugh... did anyone get the number of that truck-kun that hit me?".
I heard a couple of giggles and chuckles, I looked up to see who was laughing at my pain only to sweatdrop at the fact that it was the Sitri, the Gremory and the Phenex lords who were laughing at me.
Venelana Gremory then kneeled before me and gave me a small smile "Mr Hayashi would you and Serafall mind getting off my son? I think you already hurt him enough".
My eyes widen and looked down only to see and unconscious Sirzechs smiling with his eyes closed blood dripping from his mouth and completely unconscious "whoa!".
I slowly got up with Serafall hanging on my back, so I move my hands and held her up by the back of her tights causing her to smile at me, I then sighed "sorry about that miss Venelana, that hit to your son was an accidental extra, in any case I'm done with what I came here to do so me and Serafall are going back home now, but first..".
I then lift everyone up with Psychic and then snapped my finger rewinding the time of everything that was destroyed by my battle with Sirzechs and restoring it "there! now me and Serafall will be leaving before any other devil gets the bright idea to piss me or Serafall off again so bye for now!".
With that said I teleported Serafall and myself back to Kuoh before any devil had the chance to approach me.
Venelana giggled at Rean's sudden exist and then bent down to check on her son "that boy is just full of surprises but he seems like the fun type, hmm light poisoning... missing arm... multiple broken bones and massive burns, all things considered he got off easy but he's going to regret not dying when he wakes up! I still have to scold him for doing such stupid things like kidnapping a boy to stop his sisters wedding!".
Zeoticus sweatdropped and felt bad for her son but he knew he couldn't do anything for him now, lord Phenex and lord Sitri just huckled in amusement.
While lady Sitri smiled at her friends, lady Phenex giggled and then spoke up "come now Lana, your were exactly the same in your youth so cut the boy some slack, I still remember when you used to get into fights all the time or did you forget how you met Zeoticus?".
Venelana blushed because her and Zeoticus met when she picked a fight with him and both of them ended up in the hospital afterwards, after that they were arranged to be married which made them fight a lot at first until they got tired and just decided to make it work and now she couldn't imagine her life without her husband and her children.
Venelana sighed "fine... but he's still getting a talk to! now help me carry our son back to the salon Zeoticus so we can get his wife too, sigh... children I swear...".
Zeoticus chuckled and then went to help her wife pick up their son from the ground, lord Phenex then approach them "well since the wedding between Riser and Rias sort of caused all of this let's just break it off, lets allow our children to decide their future".
Lord Phenex then turned his head towards Ravel whose eyes were sparkling as she intently watched the spot were Rean was standing a minute ago, Zeoticus nodded to his old friends "very well my friend, I also think it's for the best".
The ladies and lord Sitri smiled at them and then decided to help Zeoticus and Venelana with Sirzechs, lady Phenex then spoke up "come on let hurry to the salon, we can give both Sirzechs and Grayfia a couple of Phoenix Tears".
Lady Sitri then spoke up "then let's take them to our hospital so they can recuperate in peace".
Lord Sitri chuckled "well the Underworld is going to be quite curious of who defeated lord Lucifer".
Venelana giggled and shook her head "let's keep it a secret and make sure none of the people invited to the engagement party speak about it plus I'm sure Ajuka can make a new arm for Sirzechs or something so no one will find out what happened".
Lord Phenex the chuckled "yes I think that's for the best, we wouldn't want anyone pissing off your son in law huh? old friend".
Lord Sitri grinned and nodded to lord Phenex, it really was best to keep Rean as far away from devil business as possible, for his sake and the sake of the Devil Faction.
