I also wish to meet Governor Azazel and the legendary Sekiryuutei." ...This bastard sure has a way with words. By the way, am I really that famous? Ah, though I did beat that Old Maou leader during the effects of Juggernaut. Only I don't really remember much about that scene. Sensei formed a spear of light in his hand. "Let's keep this simple. Please return the leader of the kyuubi. We are trying hard to join forces with the youkai." Seeing Sensei prepared for battle, everyone gathered into formation and prepared themselves. I also called out Boosted Gear and started the Balance Breaker countdown. And then, summoned Ascalon --
"Xenovia!" "Appreciated!" Xenovia caught Ascalon, and readied her stance. ...By the way, Rossweisse-san wasn't here. "Sensei, where is Rossweisse-san?" Sensei made a long sigh at my question. "That fellow was also transferred here, but she is still sleeping at the restaurant. I placed a strong barrier over her, so it should be fine for now." S-so that's what happened... T-true, it would be unthinkable for her to battle in her drunken state. However Sensei, I will be responsible for support. In contrast to our state of alert, the other side made no signs to prepare. ...Are they that confident? Or they have some sort of secret weapon? After all, the Hero faction has gathered many Sacred Gear users. It was such a pain to battle against Sacred Gears. There were all sorts of weird powers which made things very unpredictable. That was the scariest thing. Anyway, we can't show any signs of weakness! --A short boy stood next to Cao Cao. Cao Cao said to him. "Leonardo, I'll let you handle the devils with your monsters." Only one request, but the boy remained expressionless, and lightly nodded. --Instantly, shadows appeared from under his feet and rapidly expanded. ...I felt a sensation as if something cold was crawling on my back. How should I put it, a certain fearfulness could be felt from the shadows. As the shadows grew, it reached the level of covering the entire Togetsukyou. And then they expanded and gradually took form! Arms, legs, heads, eyeballs, wide gaping jaws, separating -- not only one! But ten, no, hundreds! "Guuuu..."
"Chomp!" "Gobble!" With a deafening roar, these monsters appeared out of the shadows! ...Shadows with monsters appearing out of them oh! Rather than appear, perhaps created or "made" was a better description! Monsters with black skin and standing upright on two legs. Their bodies were solidly built with rough and thick hides. They also had very sharp claws and bared their teeth. These monsters formed a line and stood in the forefront. ...What was this, the boy's power was...? I couldn't help making swallowing sounds in my throat as I was shocked by the boy's power. Sensei spoke softly at this time. "Annihilation Maker..."
Annihilation...? Maker? Maker meant creation... right? Cao Cao laughed in response. "Correct, this child carries one of the Longinus. A different threat compared to my True Longinus, but a most deadly Sacred Gear nonetheless." Longinus-- This kid also owned a Longinus, a Longinus user...eh? What the heck! Is this a Longinus free market now!? I basically knew nothing about them other than Vali's and my own, so all these new developments are just a real pain...
And then, the countdown finished and I entered Balance Breaker! The red aura enveloped me and formed into armour. Now I can have a good fight, but...
"S-sensei, I have something I don't understand..."
Completely confused, I asked Sensei. Sensei began to explain. "Like you, that boy possesses one of the Longinus. Currently, there are thirteen confirmed Longinus -- Amongst the Grigori, there are also Longinus possessors. And amongst all these Longinus, the properties of that one over there -- in other words, its abilities, are deadlier than Boosted Gear or Divine Dividing." "S-stronger than me?" "In terms of pure power, of course your Boosted Gear and Vali's are far ahead. However in terms of abilities... Kiba's Sword Birth can create countless demonic swords, this you can understand, right?" "Yes, yes." "Annihilation Maker is the same. It can create countless demonic beasts. For example, those massive fire breathing monsters over 100m tall you see in movies can be recreated by sheer will. The ability to create monsters from imagination. Isn't that a disaster? This ability, depending on the user's capability, can create on the scale of hundreds or even thousands. Like Dimension Lost, this is one of the worst bugs in the Sacred Gear system. Dimension Lost is also extremely dangerous depending on the user. Once the mist reaches the scale of countries, it can transfer an entire country and its people into the dimensional gap to be destroyed." --! U-unthinkable...! "No matter which one, aren't they the worst Sacred Gears!" Sensei could only force a laugh. "Well, up to now, none of them have reached such levels, there were a few close calls in the past. However, it is unprecedented to have gathered three of the four top tier Longinus -- True Longinus, Dimension Lost and Annihilation maker. From birth, these possessors should have been under surveillance by the fallen angels, angels and devils... But twenty years have passed, were we too careless... Or someone deliberately hid them... Compared to the past, almost all current Longinus possessors have been very difficult to find." Sensei looked towards me. ...So basically, I was also one of those who were successively classified as "dangerous Sacred Gear, kill him" and then "actually it's not" and finally "no, it really is a Longinus!" Was it related to this? Sensei continued. "...There must be some kind of cause and effect relationship going on in the current age? It could be said that the first Longinus Sacred Gears were bugs or errors of the system. In turn, these Longinus have their own tumultuous developments beyond our expectations? Though this is just a hopeful but not far-fetched hypothesis... Watching Ise's development, makes one feel like all the current Longinus as a group are undergoing incredible changes... Bugs, errors, no, evolution? No matter what, though it includes me, perhaps those in charge of researching and maintaining the system have been too naive? Michael, Sirzechs." Sensei seemed to have started an endless dialogue with himself... But no matter how you look at it, wasn't a Sacred Gear to create monsters truly strange and dangerous? And it was described as more dangerous than my Sacred Gear! That is to say, depending on the user, it can create monsters like dragon kings -- Tannin-ossan and Fenrir that monstrous wolf on a mass produced scale! Annihilation! The world will be annihilated! "Sensei, what weaknesses do these deadly Sacred Gears have?" If Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing have weaknesses, then surely...? "Target the user's body -- Of course, there are also cases where the body is extremely strong, but it still doesn't compare to the threat of the Sacred Gear.
