Fate DxD

Chapter 69

All Might, the heroes and accompanying students can only watch in horror as a powerful column of energy bursts from the roof of the warehouse, smashing into the protective dome and cracking it on contact.

Senji's two clones convulse, falling to their knees, a layer of transparent orange energy forms around them. Their eyes turn red, but with an ounce of sanity, they project daggers and stab themselves in the heart, only to disappear in a screen of smoke.

Everyone looks on in incomprehension and terror, except the members of the occult research club, who can't believe their eyes.

"This aura, it's much more powerful and heavy than the one I felt last time..." Asia murmurs, frozen in terror.

"That can only mean one thing, he's definitely lost control..." Akeno concluded, biting her lips in regret.

"No... Senji-san..." Asia cries, her shoulders rising with each sob.

"...It was bound to happen at some point..." Koneko murmurs.

"If we had been more careful... maybe none of this would have happened..." Kiba regretted.

"..." Rias stares intently at the beam of energy, which suddenly disappears, replaced by a bestial, rage-filled scream. "There's really nothing we can do...?"

"What are you waiting for?! Shoot him!!!" One orders.

The Eighths fire at Senji, who receives the bullets, slightly annoyed, sweeping his hand away as if chasing a fly. Fed up, his tails begin to wag, then suddenly grow and sweep across the entire warehouse, destroying and slicing like razor blades, the lifeless bodies of the Eighths tumbling in all directions, the lucky few still alive, thrown into the air, are caught and thrown violently towards the walls or the floor, ending up in a pool of blood.

Then Senji opens his mouth, larger than a human being can manage, and spits a jet of flame in the direction of One, who teleports to dodge it, leaving his last soldiers for dead, carbonized on the spot.

"That bastard..." Said One, clinging to a beam still holding the roof with one arm. "He only has eyes for me."

Senji's piercing red eyes stare completely at One, like a predator that has found its prey, which is beginning to frustrate One.

"Don't look at me like that! I'm the predator, you bastard!" He shouts, annoying Senji.

Senji bends down and pulls his body back, deforming it and leaping forward, hurtling towards One at high speed. He teleports to dodge, sending Senji straight into the wall.

As Team 7 and Venus retreat, Kakashi turns to see Inukai stop and look towards the warehouse.

"Inukai, we don't have time to stop, we're still too close!" Kakashi calls out to him.

"Sorry Kakashi-sensei, but I came with Senji's team, and I intend to leave with them. Please go without me." He said, putting his goggles back on.

"What are you talking about? Too late..." Kakashi said, seeing him off, leaving an afterimage behind.

"Ayaka-san, the Filian sisters are afraid they won't be able to contain the power of what's in the warehouse... The dome holds with difficulty." Minerva's voice is heard through the walkie-talkie.
