The current Annihilation Maker user is still under a developing phase. If he already mastered it, then they would have been sending demonic beast armies to every faction by now. -- The only way to defeat him is to take him out now before he matures." Cao Cao laughed wryly as he heard Sensei's words. "Arara, it feels like Annihilation Maker has been figured out. It is as you say, Governor of the Fallen Angels. This child still has not matured his imagination or productivity -- except he has focused on one specialty. Monsters that target the opponents' weaknesses -- the antimonsters. The current demonic beasts are ones which counter devils." Cao Cao pointed his finger at a shop in the area. A monster opened its mouth--
Bzzzzzt! A beam of light appeared. And in that instant--
Boom...! The shop was blown away by an intense explosion! "An attack of light -- this fellow is!" Amidst the strong wind of the explosion, Sensei snarled angrily. "Cao Cao you bastard! You sent assassins to all the major factions to collect data for the antimonsters!" "You are half correct. Weren't there black clad members amongst the Sacred Gear we sent out?" Yes! Those black combatants! Those hated things which dispersed into mist when hit! "Those are also monsters created by this child. These things deliberately took on the attacks from the various factions -- angels, fallen angels, devils, dragons, and gods from all mythologies. Though they were wiped out, they have gathered plenty of good data for this child's Sacred Gear." "--Those strange black men were for collecting data!" "Not only were the number of Balance Breaker users increased, but the development of the antimonsters also advanced. Thanks to that, antimonsters targeting devils, angels and dragons have been created. --At maximum output, the current anti-devil antimonsters can produce light equivalent to a mid class angel." Collecting data to make antimonsters at the same time as increasing the number of Balance Breakers amongst Sacred Gear users. ...Is he trying to show how well prepared or smart they were? These guys, they are dangerous without bound! Sensei glared with contempt but immediately began to laugh. "But Cao Cao, that means you have yet to create god-killing beasts." "..."
Cao Cao did not deny Sensei's words. "How did you figure it out?" Sensei replied to me in a tired voice. "If they could, they would have already done so. And then they would have used them on us as well. There is no reason they wouldn't attempt it if they have the resources to launch simultaneous attacks at the different factions. And who knows how the world would change if gods from various mythologies were killed. --To this point in time, they still cannot create god-killing demonic beasts. Though this is all we know, it is still important news." I see! They don't have god-killing demonic beasts! Ah, but such a thing does exist. The image of that gigantic wolf flashed in my mind. Cao Cao pointed his spear at us. "If it's a god, then I will kill it with this spear. Come, the battle begins -- now." This was the declaration of war--! "Gobble!" Making terrifying roars, the antimonsters charged at us! Kiba and Xenovia went and stood in the front-lines. "Kiba, please make me a holy sword." "Understood. After all, you're more suited to a two sword style." Kiba quickly created a sword in his hand and aimed it at Xenovia who had already begun to advance. Catching the holy sword in mid air, Xenovia wielded it along with Ascalon and dived straight into the ranks of the enemies! Slashed by Xenovia's sweeping attacks, huge numbers of antimonsters were easily vanquished! True to a power type Knight! This penetrative power was unbelievable! Ah, a monster opened its mouth to release a beam of light--
Bzzzt! The beam travelled to just before Xenovia, but Kiba deflected it with his holy demonic sword, sending it into a building in the distance, causing it to collapse. "If it's this level of light, it's fine as long as we don't get hit." What a cool and handsome Knight! That's right! Possessing god-like speed, there is no problem as long as Kiba doesn't get hit! "No, let's just kill them all before they hit us." Slicing and pulverising the monsters with Ascalon and the holy sword, Xenovia answered like that. Though both were Knights, their battle styles were entirely different! And both their philosophies sounded so right! "Cao Cao, would you like to be defeated by me?" Sensei took out the dragon gem -- Fafnir's jewel, and then his entire body was wrapped in the golden armour of the artificial Sacred Gear. At the same time, he extended his twelve black wings and rushed at Cao Cao with high speed. "That would be a great honour! To be able to fight the Fallen Angel Governor recorded in the Bible!" Cao Cao landed on the shore of the Katsura River, his face smiling fearlessly as he raised the holy spear -- The front portion of True Longinus opened to release a golden aura which shaped itself into the blade of a spear! The instant it opened, it was as if the entire air shook. ...It could only be described as holy and solemn! Just gazing at it made my body feel tense and suffocated! Even for a nonbeliever, the influence of that spear was that strong? Crash...! As Sensei's spear of light clashed against Cao Cao's holy spear, violent shockwaves were created! This impact created waves and disturbances in the Katsura River, splashing water everywhere! Water droplets fell upon Togetsukyou like a violent rainstorm. As Sensei and Cao Cao attacked each other and carried out their battle, they gradually moved downstream along the shore of the river. I will leave Cao Cao to Sensei, let us take care of the rest! The first priority was the key to our group battles -- setting up the defensive wall for Asia who was responsible for healing. Normally our team had Buchou commanding with Akeno-san supporting her and providing suppressive fire, Koneko-chan providing offense and support, and Gasper in the role of scouting and support. Even long range bombardment from Rossweisse-san was not here. Though we had Sensei and the angel Irina providing super powerful offence, the balance of the team has been broken by the absence of those five. We needed a new formation. Kunou also needed to be protected at all costs. In this place, she was more important than us. She should be placed behind Asia. Should Xenovia be the vanguard --
...Think carefully, think carefully, think carefully! Words like "I don't get it" or "I can't do it" are unfitting for a future King! If it was Buchou, how will she act? What would she do in a time like this? I'd better think carefully! Oooooh...! At the end of my wits I finally came up with my strategy! "Xenovia! You will guard Asia and Kunou! Also, use the holy aura to blow away any enemies who get near!" I gave orders to Xenovia! Even though I wasn't Buchou, but please, Xenovia, listen to me!
" --Acknowledged!" Oh oh!
