Yes, this guy is a member of the group called ‘Hero-faction’ of Khaos Brigade! Lately, this Hero-faction has been making small scale assaults in our town. More like there are many incidents where people from the Hero-faction are assaulting important places for each of the factions. Lately we have been taking care of them. Our opponents have been humans in most cases…. Then two people appear next to the man. They are humans. A man who is wearing sunglasses and a man wearing a Chinese native costume. All three of them are foreigners. And you can say the weird abnormal black things are their combatants. It seems like the Hero-factions are using that as their weapons. Even if they are combatants, they are so strong that Low-class devils can’t take them on. It requires you to have the power of a mid-class devil or higher, and luckily in terms of power we are between mid-class devils to high-class devils. FLASH! My gauntlet glowed red. The countdown was already finished so I Balance Break right away! I wore the armour and step in front as the vanguard. At the same time I took Ascalon out and gave it to Xenovia. Xenovia caught it and made a stance. The two-main vanguards consists of me in Balance-Breaker and Kiba standing at the very front. A bit further away from us is Xenovia. Her role is to support us and at the same time attack the enemy as the vanguard. The middleguards are Irina, Koneko-chan, and Gasper. They support the vanguards and guard the rearguards, and also do things like middle management supports. It is the role of Koneko-chan and Irina to defeat the enemies we forgot to take down. The rearguards are Buchou, Akeno-san and Asia. Buchou is the leader as well as doing the supporting attacks. Akeno-san also supports us by attacking from the rear with her demonic-powers. Asia’s role is to send the healing aura to the vanguard if we were to take damage. This isn’t the formation of the Gremory group, but the Occult research club when Irina is added. 3-3-3. I will fall back to the middleguard if I’m not in Balance-Breaker and have the role to support. It then becomes 2-4-3. It was a different formation to that in a Rating Game. The Game forces you to move your comrades accordingly depending on the battlefield. When the enemy saw our formation, the man wearing the black coat creates what seems like white flame from his hands. Kiba who is next to me narrows his eyes. “---! Another Sacred Gear possessor.”
I see. So this guy is also…. The members whom the Hero-factions sent were basically all Sacred Gear possessors. So they come at us by using the power which was bestowed to them from the ‘Sacred Gear programme’ that God left behind. “This is a problem. Lately, we have been fighting Sacred Gear possessors.”
Buchou also made a sigh. But her eyes are filled with determination. The moment the man waving the flame approaches us…..
GOOO! I lit the fire on my booster on my back, and made a dash right away from the start! At the same time I reflected the fire. DOOOOOON! They avoided immediately, but I was able to get rid of the abnormal combatants. The combatants disappear into the air when defeated. Shit! I won’t be able to move as I want inside the building! Because of my power output, I will break buildings in this town and that will gather attention and will become a problem! But for dodging my attack, they are quite trained! But they aren’t an enemy that we can’t defeat. We have the upper hand here by a big margin. One of the main enemies then shouts. “Be careful with the Sekiryuutei’s power! We will get killed from a single attack! But he won’t be able to move freely within the factory!”
So they knew. I can defeat most Sacred Gear possessors if I am able to hit them even once. And also…
I gathered the demonic-powers to my hand, and I shot it to the front while holding back as much power as I can! DON! Small-scale Dragon-shot! If my opponent is human, then this would be enough! Since the fight against Saji, I practiced shooting a shot for small scale battles. And this becomes very useful in battles which take place in this town! With this attack, I took down members of Hero-factions numerous times. It will be a lethal attack if hit…..
ZOON! Dragon shot disappeared!? The moment when it was about to hit the enemy, it seemed like the shadow within the factory stretched and devoured my attack. No, maybe it was actually like that? The ability to control shadow? The one who had done it was the man wearing glasses. So it’s that man’s Sacred Gear…. SWIFT! Kiba goes slashing forward at godspeed. The holy-demonic sword swings down at the man wearing glasses but…… the shadow from before devours Kiba’s sword by moving fast! Then…..! SPIT
From Kiba’s shadow, the blade of the Holy-demonic sword came out! Kiba twitched his body and dodged it. He then stepped back. “--! The ability to release things it devoured from a shadow to another shadow as it wishes….. It’s not a direct attack type. It’s a defensive type which changes the flow of an attack. It’s a troublesome type of Sacred Gear.”
Kiba then says it while narrowing his eyes. I got it now. When the attacks get devoured by that shadow, it comes out from a different shadow…. T-Then the dragon-shot I shot before is……. BOON! Along with the air vibrating, I felt my aura from the shadow within the building! When I looked, a red demonic-power shot is coming this way! It’s target is… Asia! Xenovia who was slaying many creepy combatants sensed Asia’s danger as well. “Hell no!”
I created another shot of demonic-power quickly and made it collide with the one heading towards Asia to have them cancel each other out! BLOW! The two shots collided and a bomb blast is created within the factory. “I won’t let you lay a finger on Asia!”
Xenovia immediately acted as Asia’s shield and started guarding her. Thanks Xenovia! But when it becomes about Asia her response is insanely fast. But protecting Asia together is something we have decided. It’s also because she barely has any combat ability, but she is the key of the team and a valuable healer. We can’t let her get taken down in a team battle. In the event that she faces danger, it’s decided that the one who can respond to her danger would defend her. This time it was Xenovia. PUUUUUU! Inside the blast, I saw something glowing in blue-light. When I looked……the one wearing a native costume is holding onto a bow which looks like it is made from light, and he was about to shoot! Light….. This is bad! For us devils, power of light is very poisonous! And it’s an attack from a Sacred Gear with many mysteries! We don’t even know what kind of abilities that bow has! Even if I’m wrapped with the power of Sekiryuutei myself, it will be dangerous for my comrades who aren’t wearing any protection! The arrow made from light was released! And it changed its direction in mid-air! So it has the ability to change its direction after being released! SPARKLE! SPARKLE!
