Chapter 77: A calamity.

(This revelation of Raynare's past is now over.)

"Come on, my niece! Why haven't you killed those women yet?" cries the fallen angel.

I don't understand what's going on, who's whose niece?

"I am not your niece! I will never listen to those who caused my parents' death!"

This seems like a tasteless family drama, though no wonder it was Raynare who yelled at him again.

I am surprised, I will not deny it, but I doubt Kuroka's uncle is a fallen angel, much less Shuri. Besides, I think all first-generation angels are brothers, but they've never been called that.

I mean, Akeno has never called Azazel an uncle, nor has he addressed her as his niece in any of the 21 volumes of Highschool DxD that I have read. Besides, this guy doesn't seem like a first-generation fallen angel.

...

Now.

What can I do to help the girls?

Earlier, I had thought to help Kuroka by getting the rest of them out of the inner courtyard, taking them to a safe place so that I could leave the Nekoshou unhindered to finish off the fallen angel.

But now that I can better analyze the situation, I find it very difficult for Shuri and the others to break out of the barrier Kuroka created.

Cracks are beginning to appear in Kuroka's barrier, although it is being repaired at a reasonably high rate. Even so, I don't think it will take long for it to collapse. Once the barrier no longer protects the girls, I don't believe the fallen angel won't kill his targets.

There's no other way, I'll have to take care of it personally.

I'll use [Status Inspection] on him, to get a better idea of his abilities.

He's strong, at least stronger than the devil I've faced before. Still, he's weaker than me in my true form. All that experience received from killing the devil has made me go up a massive amount of levels, which translates into a noticeable increase in my strength.

But this is not a place where I can use all that strength, because no space can contain me in my true form and I could end up causing damage to the girls.

Which leaves me with two options.

I can try to get the fallen angel out of the shrine, so I can fight him with all my strength. If I can accomplish that, I can consider the battle resolved.

If I can't get the fallen angel out of the sanctuary, I'm left with only the option of fighting him in my human form. Which would be shit, since fighting in a closed space, enclosed place like this is advantageous to him and disadvantageous to me.

With all those spears that the fallen angel is using at the same time, I calculate that there are more than thirty. With the little space I have, it will be tough for me to avoid his attacks, much more complicated to get close to him.

With my superior speed, I suppose I can get close to him and dodge many of those spears, but I will not come out unharmed from a torrential spear attack.

On the other hand, those spears don't seem to be ordinary spears. In fact, the system had given them a special name.

[Light Flame Spear]

It is not an ordinary spear if even the system has given it a special name, so I have to be even more careful. Luckily, my evolution to [Nephilim Dragon] has erased my vulnerability to the light attacks of fallen angels and angels, so these spears of light will not be as deadly to me.

That doesn't mean they're effective, just that I've gained resistance to that attribute. If before the attacks of light attribute made me an X2 of damage, now it makes me ½ of the damage it should make me.

Wait, I still have a choice.

I think this may be the time when I make use of my beloved Noble Phantasm for the first time.

[Gandiva] It's an area Noble Phantasm, similar to a missile blast, and I have no doubt I can smash Kuroka's barrier with it, which would end up hurting Shuri and the rest. That's why the use of [Gandiva] in this situation is completely out of the question.

On the other hand, [Phoebus Catastrophe] is a Noble Phantasm that suits me perfectly in this situation. A torrent of arrows, a calamity, with which I could shoot down all the enemy's spears and impale him with the rest.

Plus, this Noble Phantasm allows me to control where the arrows will fall, so there's no danger of harming the girls.

Well, I've made up my mind.

It's time to use my Noble Phantasm for the first time.

With all this, I summon [Gandiva] back into my hand. There's no way I can use this Noble Phantasm without using my most precious possession.

Now...

"I beseech you, Apollon and Artemis, bless this bow and these arrows."

"Who's there?"

The fallen angel becomes aware of my presence, something I see as normal. As much as I was hiding before, I had to show myself to launch this attack.

"Who is that man? Why does he look so familiar?"

The fallen angel is not the only one who notices my presence since the girls do too.

"I devote this calamity to you!"

Two magic arrows in the bow, pointing to the sky. Now all I have to do is sing the last part of the Noble Phantasm chant.

The words that give this one power, which made it famous for its legend. The protection of the gods Apollon and Artemis, which in turn is a calamity for my enemies.

"Phoebus Catastrophe!"

Chapter 78: [Phoebus Catastrophe]

Phoebus Catastrophe: Complaint Message on the Arrow

Atalante's Noble Phantasm, one of Artemis' most famous hunters. Famous for her participation in the hunting of the Calydonian Boar.

She sends a letter of complaint attached to an arrow to ask for the divine protection of the sun god Apollo, deity of the bow and arrow; and the moon goddess Artemis, deity of the hunt; with the [Tauropolos: Bow of Heaven] she received from Artemis, her protective deity.

This Noble Phantasm is associated with the episode in which Artemis and Apollo shot down all the children of the fertile woman Niobe after she boasted that she was superior to the mother of both gods, the also goddess Leto, because "Leto had fewer children".

Seeking divine protection, Atalante desires a calamity as compensation, so she equates her protection to a calamity for the enemy. Instead of the bow or arrows acting as a Noble Phantasm, it is a mass technique of aiming and shooting arrows with the bow.

I lack the [Tauropolos], but I have a bow that is not at all inferior to this one.

[Gandiva]

Aiming two arrows at the sky, representing a call to the gods as they begin to shine, and when released, they head at speed great enough to pierce the clouds while leaving a trail of light.

"Who are you?"

The fallen angel ceases his assault on the barrier for a few moments. Does it seem that arriving so soon has been unexpected for him?

"Your worst nightmare."

I'm trying to look cool, although I don't know if I'll ever make it. Actually, I've always wanted to do this.

The fallen angel stares at me, wanting to dig into the depths of my soul.

"I see, you're the dragon that was fighting Mammon. If you're here, it means he's already dead. Sigh... it looks like this mission is going to be a failure. There's no point in staying here if I'm only going to die. It looks like I'm going to have to defect from the new organization as well..."

The fallen angel turns around without hesitation, trying to leave the place.

"I'm sorry, leaving here is no longer a possibility for you."

My words seem to have caught the attention of the fallen angel, who slows down his flight and turns around.

"What do you mean?" he asks.

I don't answer his question, but I do point my finger to heaven.

The inner courtyard of the shrine is not enclosed by a roof, so you can see the sky without any problems. The fallen angel follows my finger and looks up at the ceiling. His face turns pale at once.

The two arrows that I had sent to heaven had pierced the clouds, leaving a trail of light. A little later, a faint light that illuminated the sky appeared, accompanied by a sound similar to rain.

But it was not a deluge of water, it was a rainfall of arrows of light that fell towards the fallen angel like a downpour.

Since the Noble Phantasm allows me to establish the range of the rain, I control the arrows so that a small part of them will finish off the spears that the fallen angel had thrown at me, in a desperate attempt to save his neck. The rest of them were concentrated on the figure of the fallen angel.

A burst of light enveloped the inner courtyard of the shrine. When it disappeared, no trace of the fallen angel remained.

Meanwhile, in my mind.

[1110 experience points have been obtained.]

[Because of the effects of Title Skill [Walking Egg]. Another 1110 experience points were obtained.]

[The level of [Nephilim Dragon] raised from 21 to 30.]

Is this over yet?

I guess so, all threats have been eradicated.

Now, where are my Fate Points?

[You have successfully changed a person's fate!]

[1 Fate Point obtained]

[You have successfully changed a person's fate!]

[1 Fate Point obtained]

[You have successfully changed a person's fate!]

[1 Fate Point obtained]

What?

I got three Fate Points?

I understand getting two of them because I saved Shuri and Akeno, but that third point, where did it come from?

[Sage], do you know anything about this?

[Characteristic Skill [Sage: Lv3] is unable to explain.]

….

How nostalgic, it's been a long time since I've had such a response from [Sage].

"Don't bother asking the level system those questions, it has no control over the Fate System."

But he's the one who gave me the notice, old man.

"Of course, that's because of a little change I made back then. Isn't it nice to get this kind of notification?"

I suppose so.

"Drako? Is that you?"

A voice I know very well speaks to me from behind. I turn to face this person, who is none other than Kuroka.

I smile at her and put a hand on her head, stroking the back of her ears. She unconsciously lets out a faint groan. One thing I have learned this year with her is that Kuroka, or Nekomatas in general, are sensitive in the area behind their ears, and are even more sensitive at the base of their tails.

"Silly, who else would I be?"

Now that I realize that, it seems like I've grown up a lot. Before, my height was around Kuroka's, but now I am much taller than her. She is now as tall as my chest, so I guess my height is over 6 feet.

"You've become stronger, taller, more robust, more handsome. You've evolved."

Kuroka mutters as she runs her fingers across my chest, she seems to be intoxicated.

She frowned and relaxed it for a few moments afterwards. A wide smile on her face.

"Let's buy you some new clothes!"
