Kiba is in thought while having Gram in front of him. “Hey, how’s the training going?”
When I ask, Kiba says it without looking away from Gram. “I’m trying to control Gram by using the holy-demonic swords. Like how Excaliburs’ powers are used to control Durandal.”
Hmm, that seems like an interesting experiment. Kiba continues. “First I need to accept Gram’s curse and negativity with the demonic-power of my holy-demonic swords.”
“What will happen if you approve it?”
“The demonic power, which is the curse, will strengthen. But those areas become stable instead. Though, having the demonic power strengthen to keep it stable sure is a scary thing.”
Stabilising the demonic power, huh. Sounds like one of those phrases where “saying” that may be easy but “doing” the actual thing is hard. Kiba says it while holding the holy-demonic sword within his hand. “Even if I strengthen the demonic power to make it stable, I will end up covering it with the holy power of my holy-demonic sword. For example, it’s like putting a lid above the pot. The inside of the pot will burn with the use of fire. I just need to be careful so the boiled water doesn’t spill out and take out the specific ingredients I want to have much as I want.”
“……You make it sound easy but won’t that be something ridiculously hard to do?”
When I said that, Kiba smiles sarcastically. “You are absolutely right. The power of the holy and the power of demonic. Making a slight mistake in the distribution of these two powers would cause all of the curse to reflect on me. No, in worst cases, it will also cause casualties to my comrades.”
So that’s the personal task Kiba assigned to himself huh. To cover Gram by using the power of “demonic” from the holy-demonic sword to stabilise it and to use the power of “holy” to cover it as a whole. The power will build up inside it so he will need to use it by letting the power out while being careful to prevent it from exploding. It surely sounds easy if you simply say it in words. But you will need a high level of techniques, determination, and talent to do this. I ask Kiba while putting on a smile. “But you won’t fail in this, right?”
He puts on a fearless smile. “Yeah, that’s my plan. If things go accordingly, I may be able to add some attributes to the blade. If that happens, I will be able to fight in a totally new way.”
“Being able to do attribute attacks, being able to use swords as your footpath, and being able to hide yourself among your troop of knights. You sure do use your Sacred Gears in many ways.”
The one who is able to use his Sacred Gear’s ability the most skilfully among us must be this guy. Saji is also turning into a skilful fighter, but it makes me think that his techniques are several levels below Kiba. Kiba then makes such comment about himself. “I lack in terms of flashiness among our group. So I won’t be able to survive unless I increase the amount of moves I can use against the enemies by finding their opening in their guards.”
I can’t believe you said that. You survived this far with those numbers of moves you have. Kiba then asks me. “So, how is your training going?”
“Well, okay I guess. I need to get the grasp of my training, but there are areas I can’t test myself without Ddraig.”
And that happens to be the newly found power of the Hakuryuukou I attained during my battle with Euclid. The small white Dragons that appeared from my jewels. My new power which has the ability to “reflect” and “divide”. I started to train by actually using those powers, but it was halted when it was turning good due to Ddraig going deep into the Sacred Gear with Albion. ……Those abilities, they are quite the interesting things. Even things I’m imagining within my head are becoming possible, so if I can use it together with the trait of my True “Queen” then……
By the way, I decided to call those abilities the “Dividing Wyvern Fairy”. The one who named it is Rias. When Rias saw those abilities;
“You remind me of fairy chess since you keep on gaining new abilities, Ise.”
So the name has to do with that. The term fairy chess is one of the chess words and it refers to a chess game played with irregular rules. And since my growth is irregular itself, Rias said she can’t help but think in such a way. So I named it by adding the word “fairy” to the word wyvern which describes its appearance. —Then a bright flash comes into my sight. When I look towards the source, I witness one Angel who is glowing brightly high up in the sky. He is spreading ten of his pure white coloured wings while he is holding onto a huge mass of fire within his right hand and a thick spear-like ice on his left hand. There is a thunder cloud above his head which is creating the thunder. —Joker Dulio. ……An artificial thunder cloud which was made inside this field located in the basement. It’s something made by Dulio using his Sacred Gear’s ability. His Sacred Gear can control weather to take control of fire, wind, water, and earth that exists in nature. So he can even create artificial clouds in places where there is no sky, just like that. The bright flash earlier must have been caused by striking down the thunder from that cloud. The one who is in front of Dulio is—Saji who is wearing a black jersey. He is enveloped in black flames around his whole body and is facing off against Dulio. Saji showed himself to our training field and joined our training by having a mock battle with me and Dulio. The reason for him to do so is—to reach Balance Breaker. Sona-kaichou suggested that he may reach Balance Breaker if he trains with Longinus possessors or with the Gremory group. So everyone is cooperating with him. As long as we formed a team, the power up of our comrade surely is a desirable factor. Especially for Saji’s Balance Breaker since he carries the power of a Dragon King. Kiba and I continue to observe Saji and Dulio’s battle for a while as we discuss about it, but finally, Dulio’s merciless attack of different attributes such as fire, ice, water, wind, and thunder vaporises Saji’s black flames. Saji then goes down. It’s Dulio’s victory. Saji lost all hopes from midway through the battle so it became more of a one-sided fight where he had to defend himself. ……Saji’s abilities can be used in many ways where he would start from using his line which adds different effects while the black flames can be used for direct attacks or to create a wall of fire to nullify enemies’ attack. So Dulio either dodged or hit away those attacks and then stopped Saji’s movement. Even if both of them aren’t in their Balance Breaker state, the difference between the two is quite obvious. ……I had a mock battle with Dulio several times as well……but he froze my legs and hand while he used wind to stop me from going at him in mid-air so he evaded all my attacks. According to Irina:
“I hear that Joker has a personality where he rarely attacks the enemy first. If he plans on it, I’m sure he can even do amazing attacks……”
That’s what she said.
