Fate DxD

Chapter 86

The smoke gradually dissipates, revealing the only person standing in front of me, her hand still outstretched towards where Kiba was a few seconds ago. I freeze, still on the ground. I couldn't do anything, again, I could only watch as my comrade was removed from the battlefield, defeated.

"The [Knight], eliminated." She lowers her hand, laughing out loud.

Then she turns to me and steps forward, her face showing all her confidence and self-esteem.

"Now it's your turn, darling. I must say you were very strong for such inexperienced children. But too bad, you wanted to take on something stronger than you." She stops in front of me.

A dozen magic circles appear around me, starting to light up.

(...I... I can't lose now... Otherwise, I'll never be able to look Koneko and Kiba in the eye again... I have to move!!!)

[Explosion] [Blood Pointer] I suck up the energy around me, reducing the size of the magic circles until they disappear.

"What the?! Are you sucking my demonic power?! How?!" Yubelluna is surprised.

I start to get up, putting one foot on the ground, I put my hand on my knee, to help me. My body is covered in a thin orange layer of energy, and when I look at her, Yubelluna is taken aback.

"Those eyes?! Where do those red eyes come from?! Are you a yokai or something?!" She tries to create another magic circle, but I take her energy so she doesn't have time.

Seeing that there's nothing she can do, she decides to leave. I charge up my magic circuits and create three clones that chase after her. All three jump on her and immobilize her.

"What are you playing at?! Are you trying to humiliate me?!" She tries to free herself but my Blood Pointer weakens her too much.

I can feel the skin of my body opening and tearing under the pressure of my Blood Pointer, but I ignore it. I hold out my hand, passing all the accumulated energy through the gauntlet, allowing me to create a concentrated orb of draconic energy, the size of a golf ball. I close my hand, trapping the orb, and aim for Yubelluna.

"No!" She panics, feeling the orb's pressure.

[DRAGON SHOT] I open my hand, releasing the attack. A column of red energy twice my size shoots towards Yubelluna, who is completely trapped. I'm pushed back by the attack, falling to the ground. A huge red flash dazzles me, followed by an earthquake, forcing me to stay on the ground. Then the sound of the explosion, a deafening din, trees and debris thrown in all directions, the blast so strong I have to hold on. When I look in the direction of the blast, the ground has been dug up all the way, and where the explosion occurred, the old building has completely collapsed. In fact, there's nothing left at all on the side of our base, just a huge crater.

(Oh no Rias, Asia... I was completely blinded by my anger...)

[Reset] I try to get up but my body doesn't respond. Yet most of my wounds have healed. I grimace as I notice, sensing the influence of the fox demon. Suddenly, a magic circle appears right in front of me. I barely have time to put my arms in front of it before it explodes.

(She's still here? After using up all the power I've accumulated?!)

The smoke dissipates to reveal Yubelluna, covered in blood and wounds, her skin blackened. Only one eye is open, and her right arm is broken. She can barely stand, hiding her private parts as best she can, her clothes disintegrated by my attack.

"You... if I let you face Riser-sama, you can be a threat.... I must eliminate you now..." Yubelluna breathes painfully, every movement of her body seeming to cause her pain.
