HighSchool DxD: True Crimson Dragon Emperor

Life. 13

Life. 13
(Outside Occult Research Club)
"Let's begin."
Issei hit his left fist onto his right palm. Kiba stands
next to Issei.
Irina and Xenovia took their white robe off and were
wearing black battle purpose clothes. They weren't
showing their skins but it looked...How do you say it?
Erotic? Xenovia took the cloth off her weapon and
revealed her Excalibur. The Excalibur that Shidou Irina
had also turned into the shape of a katana.
Issei raises his hand.
"Yo. Xenovia-san and Irina-san. Mind if I ask you two
something?"
"What is it Ise-kun?" Irina replied.
"Who prepare those battle suits for you two?"
"The Church did. Why?"
"...Never mind..." Issei gives up. Pinching the nose of
his bridge.
He wanted to say that he could see clearly the curves
of their bodies. But he think that it's too rude.
"Heh. It might be interesting to test the strength of
Rias Gremory's servants. Also, I'm interested in the
strength of the so called senpai." Xenovia said
confidently it as she smiled.
'I wonder what they mean by sempai...I should ask
Buchou abput this later.' Issei thought for a second.
"...Kiba. I'll take on Xenovia. You take Irina."
"Fine by me. Just don't get in my way." Kiba said it
coldly.
Issei look at his partner with a frown. But he chooses
to focus back to the match.
Akeno started to put up a barrier for us. With this we
could fight a bit more recklessly.
Issei turn to look at Asia.
"Asia. I need you to help Akeno-san enhanced the
barrier around us just in case."
"H-Hai Ise-san." Asia complied right away.
She raises her hands and starts to strengthen the
barrier.
"The Witch can use other magic as well?" Xenovia
asked while raising one of her eyebrow.
"I told you not to call her that!" Issei snapped.
"Even if it's just a match, be cautious of the Holy
Swords!" Rias warned both of her servant.
Issei nodded.
Kiba laughed...
"Finally... The thing I wanted to defeat and destroy
appeared right in front of me. I'm happy. Fufufu, I had
even heard that by being close to a Devil and a
Dragon, Powers would gather. But for me to encounter
it this early."
Multiple Demonic Swords start to appear around him.
Xenovia look at Kiba.
"...Sword Birth, huh. The possessor can create any
demonic-sword they imagine in their head. It's unique
among the Demonic Sword related Sacred Gears... I
heard that there was a "subject" that avoided from
being disposed by the Holy Sword Project... Is that
you?"
Kiba remained quiet but he directed his killing intent to
Xenovia.
'Holy Sword Project? What is that?' Issei raises an
eyebrow and look at Rias.
Rias just showed a sad expression and mouthed "I'll
explain to you later" to Issei.
"Ise-kun. I change my mind, I'll take on that one." Kiba
started to walk towards Xenovia, ignoring his opponent
Irina.
"Sigh..." Issei sighed.
*Bam!*
"Kuahhh!"
"Yuuto!"
Kiba fell onto the floor and started to vomit.
Apparently, Issei deliver a heavy punch onto his
stomach. Rias rushes towards Kiba in a hurry.
"You're not in the right mind Kiba. I know what
happened to you during yesterday night. From what I
know, you're not ready to face them. Not when you're
blinded by rage and hatred."
Issei walks toward the two exorcists after he finished
talking to Kiba.
"I...Ise..."
Kiba said it faintly.
"I'm sorry. He's not in the right mind right now. I'll be
your opponent."
Issei gets into battle stance after he apologized to
Xenovia and Irina.
"Are you sure you can handle both of us, Ise-kun?"
Irina tilted her head while holding her katana firmly.
"I'll be fine. It's very kind of you to worry a Devil.
Thanks."
Issei said it with a toothy grin. This cause Irina to
blush slightly.
"Mou. Ise-kun don't say it like that. People might get
the wrong idea! Now Ise-kun! I will give judgment to
you with this Excalibur! Amen!"
"Boosted Gear."
{Boosted Gear}
A red, claw-shaped gauntlet with yellow accents, an
orange jewel at the top of the palm area and orange
inscriptions that covers up his left hand and the
majority of his arm.
""!?""
Both Irina and Xenovia were shocked after seeing
Boosted Gear.
"!?...One of the Thirteen Longinus..."
"Is that Boosted Gear? I never thought that I would
meet the person by the Red Dragon Archfiend in a far
eastern country..."
"Let's do this!"
Issei dashes towards Xenovia and Irina in high speed.
"!?"
Both Irina and Xenovia are surprise at Issei's speed.
"Catch me if you can!"
Dozens of afterimages of Issei started to form around
Xenovia and Irina.
"He's fast!" Irina look around, trying find out which one
is the real Issei.
"Irina. Get away from me."
At that moment Irina jump away from her partner.
Xenovia starts to swirl around her Excalibur
Destruction. She then pointed the sword upwards and
thrust it down into the ground.
*DOOOOOOON!*
The ground shakes and rumbles. Everyone loses their
balance and kneeled on the ground. There were cloud
of dust in the surrounding. Issei's afterimages were
destroyed easily.
"Pff! Pff! Pff! Mou~ Xenovia! I'm all covered in sand!
Some of it even went into my mouth!"
Irina is spitting the sand that was caught in her mouth.
She complains to her partner.
The Devils were shock as they saw the crater made
by Xenovia when the dusts were cleared off.
"This is my Excalibur. It can destroy anything that
comes its way. It's not called "Excalibur" for nothing."
"That is some power you got there. Pretty good. But
it's no use if you can't hit anything at all."
"!?" Xenovia look up as she heard voice.
Issei is floating in the air, smiling at Xenovia.
"Let's do this one more time. Shall we?" Issei grin and
show both Xenovia and Irina a "bring it on" gesture
after he had landed on the ground.
Irina made the first move. She dashes towards him
and jump. Doing a mid-air downwards strike towards
Issei.
"Heh." Issei smirked.
*Khingg*
He grabbed the Holy Sword with his Boosted Gear.
"How!? How can you grab a Holy Sword just like that!?"
Xenovia is surprised by Issei's action. Everyone is.
Until Rias remembers.
"Of course! He still have Dragonification! By using
Boosted Gear to further harden his arm, Holy Power
from Excalibur will not work on Ise!"
"Bingo! Nice one Buchou!" Issei smiles further when he
heard his master's answer.
"Your Excalibur's Holy Power will not harm me!"
Issei throw Irina towards Xenovia. Xenovia is still
surprise from hearing that. By the time she's back in
the game, Irina already hit her.
*Bam*
"Guff!"
"I'm sorry Xenovia!" Irina apologized.
"You're heavy...Irina."
"Waaaaa~ That's very mean for you to say that!" Irina
wailed.
Issei just look at them.
"Look, it's getting bored for me. I'm gonna spice things
up a little okay?"
Issei brought out both of his hands to the side. Issei
starts to get envelop by red auras. Six red colour,
straight single edge energy swords are created and
hover behind him like a wing-like formation.
"Here I come!"
He sprinted towards them again in high speed. This
time, he aims at Xenovia. He throws two of the swords
towards her in great force. Xenovia saw that and tries
to destroy it with her Excalibur Destruction. She
swings her sword towards them.
*Prank* *Crang*
She successfully destroyed the two energy swords.
But she frown as she saw two additional swords just
grew on his back. Issei grinned.
"That's right. No matter how many you destroyed, I
can keep on producing more. Here, have some more!"
Issei started to keep on throwing the energy swords
towards Xenovia and Irina.
"Tch." Xenovia made a noise with her tongue.
This action actually forces both Xenovia and Irina to
get into defence mode.
Issei jumps high into the air. He then throw six new
energy swords into the ground. Surrounding them. A
red circular magic emblem is created with both
Xenovia and Irina in it. Issei lands in the center of the
magic circle in high speed, with his left fist hitting the
ground.
"!?"
Both Irina and Xenovia were surprised when they saw
Issei appearing before them.
"Shine, Emperor's Wingblade!" Issei shouted!
The magic circle started to shine brightly, and a
shockwave is produced. Sending Irina and Xenovia
flying to the side.
"Kyaaaaaahhh!"
"Uaaaahhhhhh!"
Both exorcist landed on the ground hardly.
Every member of the Occult Research Club were
surprised. Seeing how Issei easily overwhelmed them.
"It's over."
That is all Issei said as he look at those two.
"...I hope you two are alright, I held back a lot back
there."
Irina and Xenovia recovers from the shockwave, dust
themselves and walk forwards to retrieve their white
robes.
Xenovia look at Issei,
"We'll be fine. You don't have to worry about your
opponents."
Issei continues to look at them, showing a worried
expression.
"How are you going against one of the Leader of the
Fallen Angel when you even have difficulties when
you're against me?"
"..." Xenovia has nothing to say.
"...Red Dragon Emperor, I will tell you one thing. Think
of it as a reward for defeating us. Vanishing dragon
has already awakened...You will meet him eventually."
"!" Issei widened his eyes when he heard that.
Xenovia just said that and left after picking her stuff.
"Wait for me Xenovia~ Then it's like that Ise-kun. Tell
me whenever you want to get judged. Amen."
Irina held her cross and winked at Issei. She then left
the scene.
(Back at Occult Research Club)
Issei is currently standing in front of the all new
window that he just broke. He's thinking about what
Xenovia has said.
"Hold on! Yuuto!"
Issei turn around as he heard Rias's voice. When he
looked, Kiba seems like he was trying to leave and
Rias is angry at him.
'What's going on? I failed to notice anything when I
was thinking about Vanishing Dragon."
"I won't forgive you if you leave me! You are the
Knight of the Gremory group. I will also be troubled if
you turn into an exiled. Wait this instant!"
"...I was able to run away from there, thanks to my
comrades. That's why I have to put their regrets into
my Demonic Swords..."
After saying that Kiba disappeared.
"Yuuto...Why...?"
Issei couldn't bare it when he look at Rias's sad face.
He walks toward his master.
"...Buchou...I know this is a bad timing...but please tell
me about Kiba's past...What is this Holy Sword Project?
Why did Kiba asked Xenovia-san and Irina-san to call
him their sempai?"
"I-I also never heard such thing before Buchou-san...I
also would like to know as well..." Asia came into the
conversation.
"...Haihhh..." Rias gave out a tired sigh.
"Alright. I'll explain everything. Even Yuuto's past."
Rias begins telling them the past of Kiba Yuuto.
"Holy Sword Project...It is a project where Yuuto
received artificial treatment to adapt to the holy-
sword, particularly the Excalibur. But...Yuuto couldn't
adapt to the holy-swords. Not only Yuuto, but it seems
like everyone who received a treatment similar to
Yuuto's couldn't either...So the people of the Church
made a decision...They decided to view the ones who
couldn't adapt to the holy-swords as defective
products and disposed of them."
"!?"
Both Issei and Asia widened their eyes when they
heard the story.
"Most of the people experimented on were killed
including Yuuto. Only because they couldn't adapt to
the holy-swords...
"...It can't be. It's not an acceptable act by those who
serve God." Asia started to shed tears as she cannot
stand to hear Kiba's painful past and the Church's
dark side.
"The people of the Church, calls us devils an evil
existence, but I think the bad intentions of humans are
the greatest evil in this world." Rias said it with sad
eyes.
She then continues her story.
"When I reincarnated Yuuto into a devil, that boy was
swearing for his revenge even when he was in a
critical situation. Because his talents were being used
for holy-swords since he was born, I wanted him to use
his talents as a devil. Yuuto's talent at using swords
would be a waste for only using it for holy-swords.
But...that boy couldn't forget about it. The Holy
Swords. Those who were involved with the Holy
Swords. And the people of the Church..."
"..." Issei was silence throughout the story. He then
walk towards the clubroom door.
"Ise?" Rias look at Issei in a worried expression.
"Don't worry Buchou, I'm just gonna make a phone
call." Issei said it without turning his head.
(Outside the Occult Research Club)
Issei call his brother.
"Nii-chan, we have a serious problem here."
He then started to tell Zack the whole story. About
Kiba's past, the Holy Sword Project, Freed Zelzan,
Kokabiel. Everything he knows, he told it to his
brother.
"I need you to help me watch over Kiba for now Nii-
chan. He just left Buchou's side. Can you please make
sure that he doesn't do anything stupid?"
"Don't worry Ise. I'll keep an eye on him."
"Thanks Nii-chan, and be careful. Kokabiel is around
here somewhere."
"Got it little brother."
*Hung up*
Issei look at the sky. He closes his eyes and breaths
in the fresh air.
"...Dragons do attract others..."
He said it to himself.
(At Issei's Apartment)
It's already evening by the time Issei, Rias and Asia
got back. Zack told them that he has to go out for job
hunting. Only Issei knows the truth. They had their
dinner which was cooked Issei. Everyone is tired from
what has happening so they went to bed early.
"Ummm...Buchou...Why are you in my room?" Issei ask
as he saw Rias enters into his room after him.
Rias ignored Issei and started to strip her clothes.
"W-W-What are you doing B-Buchou!?"
Issei starting to blush heavily.
"What? You know I can't sleep with my clothes on.
That's why I'm getting naked."
"B-B-But why here!? This is m-my room!"
"Huh? What do you mean Ise? I'm going to sleep with
you of course."
*Bam!*
Issei's door opened violently. It's Asia, in her pajamas.
"Buchou-san it's not fair! You cannot sleep with Ise-
san! T-Then I will sleep with Ise-san too!"
"B-Buchou! Please put your clothes on! This is a bad
influence for Asia!"
Buchou frowned at Issei's words.
"Bad influence? That's a harsh thing to say, Ise. You
know that I sleep naked, right? You slept with me
before right?"
This time it was Asia who responded to Buchou's
words.
"...Slept together...? No...Ise-san and Buchou-san...?"
Asia started to shake and get teary eyes because it
was a big shock for her.
"Asia, hand over Ise for tonight."
"I don't want to... I think I have the right to be spoiled
by Ise-san as well. I also want to sleep with Ise-san!"
Asia starting to strip as well.
"A-Asia!?"
Even Issei is shock at Asia's boldness.
"Then let's make Ise decide."
Rias then looked at Issei. Her eyes were telling him to
"choose me".
"Ise-san. You will sleep with me, right?"
Asia asked Issei with sobbing eyes.
Issei started to sweat drop on his head as he analyses
his current situation.
'...The person whom I won't pick will hold a grudge
against me...This is by far the hardest decisions I've
ever made in my life...What should I do!?'
Issei mentally scratch his head as he's trying to find a
solution.
{Why not just choose both of them?} Ddraig just pops
out of nowhere and gave Issei an advice.
"Like that would work!" Issei argued with his Dragon.
(At Issei's Room)
"Suuu..."
"...Fuu....."
Rias and Asia is currently sleeping with Issei. Rias is
on his right, while Asia is on his left. They are hugging
both of his hands like a hugging pillow.
"...I can't believe that worked...Thanks Ddraig." Issei
thanked his Dragon.
{See, I told you it would work. I have years of
experiences partner. Most of my past possessor are just
like you. Sleeping with different kinds of women. I
learned one thing or two throughout the year.} Ddraig
said it proudly.
"I wouldn't feel proud about that if I were you..." Issei
said it mentally.
{Whatever. Night partner.}
"Good night, Ddraig."
*Cut off*
'...Great...Now how am I supposed to sleep when I can
clearly feel their breast...' Issei blushes slightly.
(Outside the Abandon Church)
The next day, early in the morning. Issei wanted to
head towards the abandoned church. Seeking his
friends, the Fallen Angels for help.
"...Ise. Do we have to come here?"
Issei turn his head to see his master approaching him.
She's in a bad mood. But Issei didn't blame her.
They're standing in front of a Church. Their enemy's
territory. He gave her a bitter smile.
"Buchou, you don't have to come. You know that right?
You're a Devil, coming here is just like torturing
yourself."
"But you look completely fine."
"I got used to it. I always bring Asia here during
weekends, when I'm free. Just so she can play with
them and pray. Besides, I'm only a half-Devil."
"!? Ise-san...I'm sorry...I didn't realize that you're not
supposed to come here..."
Asia apologized and has teary eyes.
"It's fine Asia. Think of it as I'm having a training
mentally."
Issei patted Asia's head.
"Buchou, you can wait at outside if you want. I'm just
gonna have a quick talk to Raynare."
"No. It's fine. Let's go."
Rias rejected Issei's offer and head straight into the
Church. Not waiting for Issei.
"Hahahahaha. How brave of her."
Issei and Rias turn around to see Tiamat standing
beside Asia.
"Tiamat-san?" Asia look at the female Dragon King.
"Tiamat? What are you doing here?" Issei raises his
eyebrow.
Tiamat just shrugged, "I was bored."
"Hyoudou Issei?"
"Ise-kun?"
Everyone look at the direction where the two voices
come from.
"Xenovia-san? Irina-san? What are you two doing here?"
"We're came here to visit the Church. But the question
is, why are you Devils here?"
"We came here to ask for a favour from friends. You
want to join us?"
Issei replied honestly and offers both of them to join
them.
"Devils have friends in Church? How is that even
possible?"
Irina seems to be shock, hearing that.
"Why not?"
Xenovia and Irina look at each other for a certain
amount of time.
"Boy, what are they doing?"
"...I guess they are communicating through their eyes
or their mind..."
"Fine... Lead the way, Red Dragon Emperor."
(In the Abandoned Church)
"..."
Four Fallen Angels, two Devils, a Human, a Dragon
King and two Exorcists are sitting in a table. It's kinda
strange because you don't get to see a High-class
Devil visiting a Church often. Having a Dragon King in
front of you is also very stressful.
"...Raynare. There's something I need to ask for your
help."
The first one to start the conversation is none other
than Issei.
"W-What is it Issei?"
Raynare is feeling a bit tense as she is sitting next to
Rias Gremory, the Crimson-Ruin Princess.
"We've received information that one of your leader,
Kokabiel is here in Japan."
" " " "!?" " " "
All Fallen Angels widened their eyes in that statement.
"Kokabiel-sama is here!? Why!?" Dohnaseek asked out
loud.
"You guys didn't know?" Rias raises an eyebrow. Still
not believing that the Fallen Angels not knowing that
their leader is in this town.
"We were only informed that Azazel-sama will be
coming here." Mittelt said it without thinking.
"What!? Another leader of the Fallen Angel will be
coming here!? On my territory!?" Rias suddenly stood
up from her seat.
The Fallen Angels stiffened as they saw Rias suddenly
raises her voice. Issei grab his master's hand.
"Buchou, please let them explain first."
Rias complied. Returning back to her seat.
"So why is Azazel coming here anyway?" Issei look
back to the Fallen Angels.
"We don't know. All we know is that our assignment
are to be his body guards, and await for further order."
Issei nod his head and he adds,
"About Kokabiel. Apparently he has stolen 3 Excaliburs
and he has escaped to Japan. Here. The exorcists,
Xenovia-san and Irina-san are sent to retrieve the
Excaliburs from him."
" " " "!?" " " "
The Fallen Angels were shocked after hearing that.
"It can't be! Why would Kokabiel-sama do that!?"
Kalawarner loses her cool.
"Are you sure it's true!?" Raynare look at Xenovia and
Irina.
"What? You think we will joke about something like
this?" Xenovia questioned them.
"It's true. Fallen Angel-chan." Irina answered
The Fallen Angels were shaking. Trying to figure out
why their leader would do such a thing.
Tiamat decided to enter into the conversation.
"I believe that Kokabiel has a nickname right?
Warmonger I think."
Issei nodded in assurance.
"If what Tiamat said was true, then I believe that he's
going to start a war."
"!?"
Everyone but Tiamat all set their eyes on Issei.
"War..."
They starts to shiver slightly as they thought about
war. But both Xenovia and Irina look at Tiamat.
"I-Ise-kun, did you say this woman here is T-Tiamat?
As in Tiamat, one of the D-Dragon King?"
Irina asked with a shaky tone in it.
"Oh boy, this never gets old."
Tiamat smirked after seeing Xenovia and Irina's
nervous expression and starts to scoot away from
Tiamat.
Tiamat grins and move closer towards Xenovia and
Irina.
"Hello there humans, I'm Tiamat, also known as Chaos
Karma Dragon." She said it teasingly.
"Umm...Tiamat, I think you're scaring them..." Issei said
it with a sweat drop on his head as he saw both
exorcists are shaking.
"Chill Boy, I'm just teasing them." Tiamat smiles as
she moves back.
"Hyoudou Issei...how strong are you...? To think that
one of the Dragon King would listens to you..."
"I wouldn't say listen..." Issei gives a forced smile.
"Anyway, back into the topics. Raynare, I need you
guys to help me confirm that whether or not Kokabiel
is acting on his own. Please ask Azazel when he gets
here, if you can confirm this before he gets here,
which would be better."
Before Raynare can reply, Xenovia decided to cut in.
"...Hyoudou Issei, they are Fallen Angels, what makes
you think that you can trust them? They could be lying
and protect their leader's back and I thought we've
made it clear that we don't want Devils to get involved
in this situations."
Xenovia's question are filled with thorns which pisses
the Fallen Angels off.
"What did you say!? You bi-mhmm!"
Kalawarner and Mittelt is holding Dohnaseek back and
covering his mouth.
"You idiot! Asia is here! Don't use those vulgar words!"
Mittelt said it while blocking his mouth.
"...Alright. I'll give Azazel-sama a call right now. Please
excuse me for a while." Raynare nods her head, leaves
the table and went out the Church.
"...Buchou, Tiamat. I need you to follow Raynare as
well. Not to spy on her, but to protect her. Kokabiel
and a stray priest is in this area. We cannot let our
guard down just because this is their base."
Both Rias and Tiamat nodded as they understood
Issei's intention and they leave right away.
Issei then look at Xenovia.
"First of all, I trusts them. I consider them as my
friends. Secondly, when one of my friend is involved in
Excaliburs, I'm not gonna just stand and watch him be
killed or become an exiled Devils. Besides, you two are
gonna need all the help you can get. If it's just you
two, you're just giving more Excaliburs to Kokabiel."
"..." Both exorcist didn't say anything. Issei continues.
"Plus...I need your permission to let destroy the
Excaliburs."
"!?"
Dohnaseek, Kalawarner, Mittelt, Asia, Xenovia and Irina
widened their eyes.
After a long silence, Xenovia decided to speak.
"...Maybe it's okay if we leave one sword to you guys...
If you can destroy it, that is..."
"Heh. believe me, I can." Issei smirked.
"...But make sure that your identities aren't revealed.
We don't want our high-ups and enemies to think that
we are connected to you guys."
"Hey Xenovia. Are you sure? Even if it's Ise-kun, he's
still a Devil, you know?"
Irina raised an objection.
"Irina. To tell you the truth, it would really be tough to
retrieve the three Excaliburs and to battle Kokabiel
with only the two of us."
"I know that. But...!"
"The minimum objectives we have to achieve are
destroying the three Excaliburs or take them back. If
our Excaliburs are going to be stolen as well then we
should break them before it happens. Even if we use
the "last resort", there's only a 30% chances that we
will succeed in our mission and return home safely."
'Last resort? I wonder what they're hiding...' Issei
thought as he listens the conversation.
"Even so, we thought that the success rate was high
enough to come to this country prepared to put our
life on the line."
"Yeah. The high-ups also told us to continue with our
mission as well and dispatched us to this country. It's
almost self-sacrifice."
"And isn't that what we, the followers, desire for?"
"I changed my mind. My beliefs are flexible. So I can
act in the best way."
"You! I have been thinking about it for a long time, but
your faith is a bit weird!"
"I won't deny it. But I think that it's our duty to
accomplish our mission and return safely. I'm going to
live and continue fighting for God. Am I wrong?"
"...You are not wrong. But..."
Xenovia looked at Issei.
"That's why we won't ask for help from the Devils.
Instead we ask for help from a Dragon. The high-ups
didn't tell us not to borrow the strength of a Dragon."
Issei gives her a toothy grin, understanding what she
meant.
"Hehehe. That's pretty smart of you. Not getting help
from a Devil, but a Dragon. Huh. I like that."
"...To be honest, I never thought that I would meet the
Red Dragon Emperor in a distant country like this. Even
if you turned into a Devil, I see that the Dragon power
within you is still present. If it's like the legend says,
then you can increase your power to that of a Maou,
correct? If you gain a power to that of a Maou, then
you can break the Excaliburs without a sweat. I also
think that it was God's doing that we had this
meeting."
Xenovia said joyfully.
"C-Certainly they didn't tell us not to borrow the power
of a Dragon... But you are just saying nonsense! Your
belief is certainly weird!"
"Weird is fine with me. But Irina, let's trust him for
now. We need him, we need The Power of a Dragon."
Irina became silent at Xenovia's words, but her
expression showed that she was okay with it for now.
"Okay. Looks like the negotiation is a success. I will
lend you guys my Dragon's power. Then you guys
wouldn't mind I call my partner for this cooperation,
then?"
Issei got his phone out and called Zack.
"Hello? Nii-chan, is Kiba still with you?"
Everyone widened their eyes on who Issei just called.
The Fallen Angels just tilted their head because they
didn't know that Issei has an older brother.
"Yea. He's within my sight. What's he doing anyway?
He's just wondering around the streets."
"I'll explain it to you later. Can you bring him to the
Church which is located near my apartment?"
"The Church? Sure. I'll bring him there soon."
*Click*
Zack hung up.
"Now...we'll just have to wait for them."
Issei said as he look at Asia. He then stood up from
his seat and starts to remove his shirt.
"...Asia, I need you to unseal those seals again. All of
it. We'll be fighting a Leader of the Fallen Angel soon.
It's best if I do it without ant restrains."
"Hai Ise-san." Asia nodded as she stood up from her
seat as well. She walks towards Issei.
"Now this is interesting."
Everyone look towards the source of that voice. It's
from Tiamat.
Rias, Raynare and her just got back from outside.
Those who never saw Isse's seals tilted their head as
they saw a chain circling around his neck, two were on
both his wrists, and four chains, two on his left
shoulder and two on his right shoulder running down
and crisscrossed each other forming two large X-
shaped on his chest and his back. Their eyes widened
as they saw Issei's body, both back and front were
covered with scars. There's wound mark made by
slashes, claws and burn marks.
Every female members blush heavily as they saw that
muscular body. Rias had to admit that she can never
get used to seeing Issei's body. In fact, that just
makes her loves him even more.
He closes his eyes as the green magic circle appears
under Issei. All the spike chains started to glow in
green light and fades away.
"Thanks Asia." Issei said it with a smile. He starts to
put his shirt back on.
Asia just shook her head with a smile, stating that it's
nothing.
"That's a good show. Maybe you should just stay half
naked boy." Tiamat said it with a smirk.
"You made it sound like I'm a striper..." Issei sweat
drops on his head while he blushes.
"But everyone enjoys watching you without your shirt.
Right girls~?" Tiamat teases Issei and the girls even
further.
"!?" Every girls look away, hiding their blushes.
(Outside the Abandoned Church)
After Zack arrived the Church with Kiba, Akeno and
Koneko also arrived in front of the Church as well.
Apparently, Rias called them. Issei started to explain
the whole thing to them. He also noticed that Akeno is
looking at the Fallen Angels with great disgust during
the explanation.
"...To tell the truth, I feel unsatisfied when the wielders
of the Excaliburs are giving me the permission to
destroy it." Kiba said it with his eyes narrowed.
"That's a rough way to speak. If you were a Stray-
Devil, I would have cut you down without any time to
spare."
Kiba and Xenovia glared at each other. Issei then
decided to butt in.
"Hey hey. You two, knock it off."
Irina however...isn't much of a help...
"So you do hold a grudge regarding the Holy-sword
Project. Against the church and the Excaliburs."
Issei facepalmed as he heard that stupid question.
Kiba sharpened his eyes at Irina's words.
"Obviously."
He replied with a low and cold voice.
"But Kiba-kun. Thanks to that project, the research on
holy-sword users showed results. That's why it
created people like Xenovia and I who can synchronise
with the holy swords."
"Irina-san...One advice...Keep quiet for now..." Issei
pinches the bridge of his nose.
"Do you think it's a forgiving act to kill all the test
subjects because the project was thought to be a
failure?"
Kiba looked at Irina with eyes filled with hatred.
"That incident also became one of the worst cases
among us and people felt disgusted about it. The
person in charge of that project at that time was said
to have a problem with his belief. So he was charged
with heresy. Now he's one of those people on the
Fallen Angels side."
"On the Fallen Angel's side? What's the name of that
person?"
Kiba took interest and asked Xenovia.
"...Balba Galilei. The man who is called the "Genocide
Archbishop"."
Balba. So that's the name of Kiba's enemy.
"...If I go after Fallen-Angels, then can I reach him..."
Kiba's eye had the colour of a new determination. Just
knowing his target was a big step for him.
"...I've heard of that name before. If I remembers
correctly, I think he works directly under Kokabiel-
sama."
Raynare said it as she puts her hand on her chin.
Kiba looks at Xenovia,
"Then it looks like I have to share information as well.
The other day I was attacked by a person who had the
Excalibur. At that time, he killed the priest who was
probably from your organisation."
"He call himself Freed Zelzan. Does this name sound
familiar?"
Xenovia and Irina both made sharp eyes at Kiba's
words.
"I see. So it's him."
"Freed Zelzan. Former exorcist of the Vatican. The
genius who became an exorcist at the age of 13. He
had lots of big achievements because he kept on
eliminating Devils and mystical beasts."
"But he overdid it. He even killed his allies. Freed
never had any beliefs towards our God from the start.
The only thing he had was fighting instinct and killing
intent towards monsters. And an abnormal obsession
for battles. It was a matter of time that he'd be
charged for heresy."
"Is that so? Freed used the Excalibur he stole to kill
our fellow followers. For us to pay the price because
the disposal group couldn't take care of him that
time." Xenovia said it with hatred.
Xenovia then took out a pen and used it to write on a
memo pad. She gave Issei her contact details.
"If something happens, call this number."
"You got it."
"Should I give you mine as well?" Issei ask as he key
in Xenovia's phone number.
"We already got it from your brother."
"..."
Issei turns his head and look at his brother who
flinches as the latter one saw the former looking at
him.
"You gave them my number!?"
"Hehehe...My bad? Wooaaaaaahhh!"
Issei attack his older brother.
"How could you just give your brother's contact
number to some random people!?"
"Why not!? I'm positive that you guys might get along
very well!"
"What do you mean "might"!? Don't just give my
number away to random people!"
"Got it...*tap**tap**tap* I understand...*tap* I'm
tapping here Ise...*tap**tap**tap*"
Issei is currently chokehold Zack.
"...Should we help?"
Xenovia asks looking at Rias.
"...Just give them some time. You'll get used to it."
Rias said it with a sweat drop on her head.
Raynare then decided to say what's in her mind with a
smile.
"Looks like a small alliance between Devils, Fallen
Angels and people who serves Biblical God is formed."
Rias nodded and smiles.
"...This wouldn't have happened without Ise."
Everyone laughs as they enjoy the moment watching
Issei fighting with his older brother, Zack
