The leader of the fallen-angels finally stood in front of us while sending out an intense aura and confidence. While smiling fearlessly he said,
“Increase the power of Sekiryuutei and transfer it to someone else.”
He made an order full of confidence, and Buchou got enraged. “Are you trying to give us a chance!? Don't mess around!”
“Don't mess around? Hahaha. You guys are the ones who are messing around. Do you guys think you can defeat me?”
Just being stared at with those eyes felt like my body would get pierced. My whole body was controlled by fear…… This is the pressure of the fallen-angel that has been recorded in the bible since ancient times. There was sweat coming from my hand that was holding onto the Holy-demonic sword and the cold feeling continued up to my finger tips. This shivering couldn't be compared to the one I had in the battle against the house of Phoenix. …Battle to the death. You couldn't stand in this place unless you were prepared to die and you had to accept the fact that it wouldn't be weird to lose your life. I have to change my motivation. Even if my grudge disappeared, the battle hasn't. My comrades wished for my survival. I need to live on. I will go through this battle. I will live on as a devil, and as a part of the Gremory group! Please lend me your strength. The Holy-demonic sword created by me and my comrades' feelings! “……Ise. Activate your Sacred Gear.”
Ise answered Buchou’s order. [Boost!] Along with the mechanical sound, a red light emanated from his Sacred Gear. A few minutes from then. We couldn't move a single step. We were waiting for Ise-kun’s boost while not moving an inch. We could have gone towards the fallen-angel if he let his guard down. But the fallen-angel didn't show a single chance while he just stood still. I could only imagine getting countered by him if I went against him. So we couldn't make a fatal move. Most likely, everyone here was in the same situation. I could only wait for the power of Sekiryuutei to increase while swallowing my saliva and trembling. “…It's here!”
Ise-kun’s gauntlet emitted a brighter light. The boost had probably reached the limit. “Now. Who will you transfer it to?”
Kokabiel asked with an interested voice. The one who put their hand up to Kokabiel’s question was……Buchou. “Ise!”
“Yes!”
Ise-kun started to transfer the power at Buchou’s call. Both of them held onto each other's hand. From their clasped hands, I could feel the aura of trust and the unspoken love they had towards each other. The light on the jewel passed onto Buchou, and the red-aura that covered her body increased drastically. ! I felt the great amount of aura from her with my skin, and an enormous amount of power was created within her hand. An amount that seemed like it wouldn't even leave a single speck of dust. If you were hit by that, the majority of people would perish. But her opponent was…
“Fuhahaha! Good! That flow of demonic power! The demonic-power I can feel right now is that of an ultimate-class devil. A little bit more then you would reach that of a Maou, Rias Gremory! Looks like you have a talent equal to that of your brother’s!”
The fallen-angel leader laughed as if he was truly enjoying it. His expression was coloured in ecstasy. He was feeling……pleasure for War! “Blow awaaaaaaaaay!”
From Buchou's hand, the highest amount of the block of demonic power was shot out covered in the power of destruction! GOOOOOOOOON! It made a shock wave that felt like it shook the ground, and the powerful shot was heading towards Kokabiel. With his hand…… No, with both his hands put in front of him, he tried to deflect it. “Interesting! Interesting indeed, Maou’s sister!”
On Kokabiel’s hand, the energy of the fallen angels, the power of light gathered. DOOOOOOOOOOOON! Kokabiel took Buchou’s shot head on. His expression surpassed that of a normal one and looked dreadful. “Nuuuuuuuuuun!”
Buchou’s shot started to get pushed back, and started to lose its shape! He couldn’t be defeated even with that amount of demonic-power!? But Kokabiel also wasn’t uninjured. His black robe was tattered in places, and his hands were bloody. But his ability to block demonic power certainly decreased. Possibly because of the attack she just performed, Buchou's breathing was ragged. It would be impossible to shoot out the same attack. Also, because of the amount of demonic-power she just used, shooting another one would be…… What was left was for Ise-kun to boost his powers again and transfer it to another person, but who could beat Kokabiel? Akeno-san? Xenovia who held the Durandal? Even I, who had reached Balance-Breaker could only give him a minor injury. It might have been a different story if I was used to this Balance-Breaker a bit more. But for me who just achieved Balance-Breaker…… No. It's not the time to say that. I cannot allow Buchou or any of my comrades to die! I will fight till my body perishes! “Lightning!”
Akeno-san sent the lightning towards Kokabiel who was concentrating on Buchou’s attack. But her lightning dissipated with a single movement of Kokabiel’s wing. “Will you stand in my way!? The one who inherited her power from Barakiel! ?”
“……Do not put me in the same group as him!”
Akeno-san widened her eyes and got enraged. She continued to use lightning but they were all deflected by Kokabiel’s wings. Barakiel is the leader of the fallen-angels. A thunder user who has the alias “Holy-Lightning”. In terms of basic fighting ability, he is said to be on par with the Viceroy of the fallen-angels, Azazel. And Barakiel is Akeno-san’s…… Kokabiel laughed loudly after nullifying Buchou’s attack completely. “For you to become a devil! Hahaha! You have pleasant servants, Rias Gremory! Sekiryuutei! The left-over of the Holy-sword project who reached Balance-Breaker! And the daughter of Barakiel! You have weird tastes, just like your brother!”
“I won’t forgive you for insulting my brother…our Maou! More than that, the insults you made to my servants will require your life!”
Kokabiel laughed with his nose at Buchou’s anger. He then said provokingly,
“Then try to destroy me! Maou’s sister! The owner of “Welsh Dragon”! Crimson-hair Ruin Princess! The one whom you are up against is someone who has been an arch-enemy of the devils since a long time ago! If you don't see this as a chance, then your reputation will be looked down on!”
Kokabiel. I don't know how much my Holy-demonic sword can go against him, but I have to do it! STEP! It seemed like Xenovia, who was behind me, moved. When she went past me, she muttered. “We will attack at the same time.”
After hearing that, I also moved ahead. I put strength into my sword, and went on slashing at Kokabiel with Xenovia! The one who slashed at him was Xenovia. Kokabiel created a sword of light with his hand, and blocked her using one hand with it. “Hmph! Durandal huh! Unlike the Excalibur that was already broken once, that light is the real thing! Buuuuut!”
“…!”
BOOOOOOM!
