Devilwatch: The False Messiah (Highschool DxD x Cardfight Vanguard)

Hope and Fear

Yesterday...

<Isle of Blood, Open field>

Nyarla: *crash on the ground* "Gah-!"

We see Nyarla all injured on the ground as Loki descends on the ground and stabbed his sword next to him, William then walks in and stand beside him.

William: Have enough yet, Faceless Coward?

Nyarla: *painfully gets up* "I'm not over... -Urg!"

Nyarla fall on his knees and instantly fall on the ground.

William: Guess this kid is a tough nut to crack.

While William and Loki are dealing with Nyarla, Anthony and Skoll was actually standing far away eating a cup of mac and cheese. Skoll wears a simple brown shirt, black pants, and a pair of sandals.

Skoll: That Nyarla person sure is something.

Anthony: Well, he's always like that for the most part around William. But it would seem like he isn't a match to Loki, the very first servant to the Supreme Overlord of End.

Skoll: I never would've imagine that my grandfather would turn into something that is beyond the God of Mischief.

Anthony: People in life make mistakes sometime, that is just how reality works, Skoll. *nom* ...Do you recall the arrival of the Supreme Overlord during the peace conference in the underworld?

Skoll: *headache* Urg-! That's right, I believe that's the moment where I got nearly killed by those devils.

Anthony: I believe you know the rest of the story.

Skoll lowered his head recall his past memories.

Inner Skoll: "After the arrival of the Supreme Overlord, my father and grandfather witness a more terrifying destruction than Ragnarok that is known as the beginning and end. -During the battle against the Gremory and Sitri team, me and the rest of my family disappeared leaving only my sister Hati to be captured by the asgardian warriors known as the valkyries. -In attempt to rescue my sister, I nearly bring Ragnarok to Asgard only to find out that my sister was working with some valkyries and form an organization known as the Mask Blade in a place call... Skyland."

Skoll: *open his eyes* I never knew that there is someone who would respect Hati for being an offspring of the Wolf of Destruction. *nom*

Anthony: People can be forgiven and given a second chance to redeem themselves. But in the case of your grandfather, it went really different from what William said to me. *nom*

Skoll: *confusingly look at Anthony* How different can it be, Professor?

Anthony: *finish his meal* After your father was captured, he manages to escape Valhalla and encounter William who wants to "fix" the world and create an empire. -Your grandfather joined, but got thrown to the mirror world by the parents of the False Messiah. After some years, his body expired and turn into THAT. *pointing at Loki*

Skoll: *understanding* I see... *finish his meal*

Back to the present.
