True High School DxD

Volume 1 Chapter 4.1

Christianity's warrior

I, Kiba Yuuto, came with the swordsmen group comprised of Xenovia, Irina-san and Lint-san to support Ise-kun and remained in the ruined church to fight against the newly created Devils that were birthed by the mother of Devils, Lilith. I cut down a number of enemies at once with my Holy Demonic Sword while Xenovia turned the enemies to dust with the powerful holy auras from her Durandal and Excalibur using her dual-wielding style. Although Xenovia was the present user of Durandal, she was also the user of Excalibur. It looked like the dual-wield style was what she was best at, since she wielded two legendary Holy Swords at the same time.

Irina, on the other hand, threw out the power of an Angel in the form of rings of light to the Devils while also lashing out holy aura with her Hauteclaire. Irina would save Xenovia whenever an enemy came from behind her, and Xenovia would blast away enemies with her holy aura whenever she saw them coming to Irina's side. The teamwork of those two swordswomen was so perfect that they compensated for each other's openings and also created chances for attack. The other church warrior, Lint-san, was, as usual, leaping around acrobatically as if she were a gymnast. She defeated all the Devils with the sword that was made out of purple flames and the light-gun while moving around.

Everyone here, including me, was raised by the church. We studied the knowledge and techniques to fight Devils, Fallen Angels, Vampires and Beasts. As things progressed, while some became Devils and Angels, everyone here was used to fighting Devils. We'd fought various strong enemies, but we also continued to train at the same time. An enemy of this level wouldn't matter to us as no matter how many of them teamed up. Also, even though the enemies had the power of High-class Devils...their abilities didn't feel that way. It was because they only fought using the intensity of their demonic power alone. It meant that they only fought by charging in and using their demonic power barbarically. It was like fighting against a kid who didn't have any fighting experience and knowledge. Normal Devils — especially the noble High-class Devils, didn't train themselves. They fought using their own talent, knowledge, and experience. And while at that, they also remembered some techniques.

Although these Devils had talent, they didn't have enough knowledge and experience to fully utilise it, focusing only on their Demonic power. I could only see some who were able to use it defensively. If this was the case...handling them would be easier than Middle-class Devils. If this were one-on-one, a bunch of experienced MIddle-class Devils and Angels would be enough to deal with them. We wouldn't have any problems as long as we could dodge their simple, but powerful Demonic power attacks. We could also get on the offensive as soon as we saw an opening as they didn't really have any means to defend themselves.

—Newborn Devils, huh? That was my judgment. My master Rias-oneesan and my comrades must've realised the essence of their power. We were really lucky that we could fight before they matured. And then, it was their bad luck that they had to fight us. From my experience, we had no choice but to defeat them without mercy. If we let them escape, they might turn against us. That's why we had to defeat them. It looked like the Devils that came into the church had understood our abilities as they hesitated and escaped.

"Shit! Why are these guys so strong!"

"Just what in the world are they!?"

It was their bad luck that the rulers of Hell didn't tell them anything about us. Why didn't Nyx and the others tell them about the strong people? Did she have any other intention? Or was it just mere entertainment?

It was when we thought about such things while fighting that we heard the Devils making a ruckus at the church's entrance.

"To think that an old priest would come to this abandoned church!"
