Chapter 144: Raynare vs Tobio

"The next one."

Raynare held an upright stance, showing pride in her victory.

Issei and Natsume helped Kouki retire. He couldn't move his legs, as they had been penetrated by Raynare's light spears.

As Tobio approached Raynare for the next fight, Drako used his "healing" ability on Kouki's legs.

He could only accelerate Kouki's innate recovery, but that was all that was needed. Byakusa placed its two tails into the holes in Kouki's legs, which improved his speed of recovery far more than Drako did. In the end, Drako's skill was still an offensive skill against beings of darkness, so his healing was limited.

"You've done well, Kouki."

"Tch. No need to comfort me, boss."

Kouki bit his lips. He did not like to lose, but he was angry because he had lost to the fallen angel he had called useless two months ago.

Drako was not comforting Kouki, he really thought the boy had performed well. After all, Raynare had managed to make Drako bleed, so defeating Kouki in a fight where he was not using the full power of Byakusa at all was as expected.

Of course, if Byakusa were to transform into the colossal tiger form, there was no way Raynare would stand up to that. Damn, even Drako would have trouble in a close fight against that, and he would even be at a disadvantage on his human form. Besides, from what Azazel had told him, this wasn't even the full form of the Sacred Gear.

If the Sacred Gears of the Four Fiends were fully developed, the creatures would be on par with the sacred beasts of the Five Great Clans. If these beasts did not reach to the power of a Maou, they were very close.

What will be the power of these beasts in their respective Balance Breaker?

Tobio was already facing Raynare, who had a light spear ready.

Jin and Tobio did not "merge" like Kouki and Byakusa did, but they also had their own fighting technique. From the shadow of his feet, Jin created a sword and held it horizontally with his mouth. Jin, who had lost the ability to create blades from his body, was now able to voluntarily create swords that came out of any and all shadows. That Jin was able to act independently was proof that he had "matured" compared to when he was a puppy.

But Jin was not the only one who had improved in this time. Tobio had also manifested a growth in his ability.

"Come."

Tobio, with a murmur as he concentrated, was demonstrating a specialized weapon from the shadow at his feet. Tobio held the handle that had grown under his feet, then pulled it out at once.

What he held in his hand was a scythe. Drawing an elegant bow, it was a specialized weapon for eliminating targets. It was not a scythe that was used to harvest weeds, but was similar to the large sickles wielded by grim reapers.

Jin was not the only one who could create swords from the shadows at will.

During the battle against the Utsusemi Agency, Tobio had personally experienced that not only his partner Jin, but he would also have to mobilize during the battle. If he had to run from place to place on the battlefield, giving orders to Jin, he would not survive what was to come.

Before selecting the scythe as his weapon, Tobio had tried to wield and swing all manner of swords. None of them had left Tobio with a satisfactory feeling, however. Unexpectedly, when Tobio picked up a scythe for the first time, he felt he had found his soul mate. Turning the scythe over and over, lifting it up, pulling it hard, and then swinging it down, Tobio was able to do all of that easily.

So Tobio, facing Raynare as a training partner, prepared himself after turning the scythe several times.

Neither one was ahead of the other, as they both attacked at the same time. With a loud "Clank!", both weapons collided.

The blade of Tobio's scythe was close to Raynare's neck, but the tip of the spear was inches away from Tobio's eye. But, neither of them could keep up the pressure on the other.

In this first move, you could say it was a draw.

The two parted and collided again and again. It seemed that the two were doing an exquisite dance, where both were trying to get the advantage but were unable to do so.

Tobio had learned from watching the fight between Raynare and Kouki. He was not a natural fighting genius, and it was not as if he could know how Raynare would move. Still, he had at least learned that he did not have to leave any room for Raynare, or he might end up like Kouki.

But, Tobio couldn't keep up with Raynare. He wasn't like Kouki, who had grown up on the streets like a delinquent, nor did he have a physical strength base to go with it. Two weeks of training had made him better, but it was still not enough.

Slowly, Tobio was cornered. At least he was defending himself decently. On his skin, you could see cuts, created by the Raynare's spear, but they were all superficial.

Or so Drako had explained to the eager Sae. She had a frightened expression at the sight of Tobio covered in blood, so Drako had had to calm her down before she ran to "help" Tobio.

Though it was Tobio who was suffering the most, it was not as if everything was a path of roses for Raynare. The difference between the quality of Tobio's scythe and the spears Raynare created was too much. If the Kouki could destroy Raynare's weapons with a little effort, Tobio could easily cut the spear if it made contact with the curved blade of the scythe.

Tobio's blade could cut through anything.

Drako had a feeling that in the hypothetical event that his defense was a thousand times greater than Tobio's attack, he would still be able to cut through his skin. After all, Canis Lycaon wouldn't be a Longinus if he couldn't kill gods. Longinus were cheats after all.

But Raynare only had to create another spear each time Tobio destroyed it.

Even with Raynare's advantage, it seemed the fight wasn't over yet. It was not Raynare's first fight, and she had been training for over two hours with Drako, so she was beginning to feel tired. If she was the Raynare that Drako knew long ago, she'd have been exhausted in the first minute of the fight. However, the intensive training of Drako and Baraqiel had made her the warrior she was now.

In close fights, it was always small accidents that decided victory and defeat.

As he retreated, the footwork failed Tobio, and he stumbled.

"The fight is over."

Tobio had barely stumbled, but Drako had already signalled the end of the fight. He had not finished the fight but already knew who the winner and loser were.

Raynare was surprised to see Tobio stumble, but she could no longer reverse her attack. If an outside force didn't stop her, the spear was going to stab Tobio's heart.

"Tobio!"

"Now!"

Sae shouted the name of her childhood friend, but it was overshadowed by the roar of Tobio himself.

From the shadows of a pillar, a black shadow shot out like a bullet. The shadow struck Raynare, and she was forced to the ground. When she opened her eyes, she found two red eyes and a blade grazing her neck.

No one had time to react, nor were they prepared for what had happened, except for Drako and Baraqiel. They had all been so focused on the wonderful fight between Tobio's scythe and Raynare's spear that they had missed Tobio's primary weapon.

Tobio might have some skill in using the scythe, but that was not his best weapon by far. He was the bearer of a Longinus, and everyone seemed to have forgotten this.

Drako could not help but marvel at what he was seeing. This was all the strategy Tobio had executed from the beginning.

He had shown Jin taking up the blade, focusing on the dog. Then he had drawn his scythe. Raynare knew that Jin was the greatest danger to her, so she had not paid attention to Tobio.

Tobio matching Raynare at first had forced the girl to pay more attention to him. By this time, Jin had already hidden in the shadows.

Slowly, Raynare's attention was drawn to Tobio. The scythe could break its spears, so she had to put much of her concentration on it. At the same time, Raynare felt that she was very close to winning, but she was just not able to deliver the final blow.

She gave everything to defeat Tobio, so she completely forgot about Jin.

That had scored the game.

Tobio, knowing that his skill was inferior to Raynare's, had devised a strategy to beat her. There was also the possibility of joining forces with Jin from the beginning, but the fight could have ended differently.

"It's over! Jin!"

Drako officially ended the game. With the boss' call, Jin released Raynare and the sword he held in his mouth disappeared.

Tobio fell to his knees, exhausted after the fight. The tension had been extremely high, and the adrenaline had helped him endure the pain of his injuries. Once the fight was over, his senses were overwhelmed, and he could no longer stand.

Sae immediately ran to help him, and brought him next to Kouki. Both had come out of this training with a vengeance, but both were satisfied. Kouki had lost, and he had complex feelings about the fight, but this had only motivated him to improve even more.

"Well, we're done here. Now, straight the showers, we don't want any people smelling like pigs on Nephilim."

Baraqiel, who had been silent the whole time, ordered seriously. Despite how showy the fights were, they were not going to change Baraqiel's strict nature.

In the end, almost everyone left the training room, but there were still two people left.

Raynare had not reacted since Drako had ended the fight. She was still lying on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling, there seemed to be no trace of life in her eyes.

"Do you understand now? You would have died if it was a real fight."

Drako sat next to Raynare.

"Do you remember the last time you almost died? It's been months, but I'm sure you still remember."

Drako was talking about when Raynare's uncle attacked Shuri and Baraqiel's residence in Japan.

Raynare didn't respond, although Drako didn't expect her to either.

"All you did back then was scream, denying reality over and over again."

Drako let out a sigh.

"And now? A boy who knew nothing of the supernatural world two months ago could have killed you. As a result, you're incapable of reacting. You're in shock, you don't want to believe in what just happened. You've defeated Kouki and become arrogant, and now you don't want to accept how close you came to dying. I am sure that in your mind, you are trying to convince yourself that what is happening is not real. As if it were..."

"...a nightmare."

---------------------------------

So, finishing with Raynare for the time being... or not?

Well, and advice that the next chapter is going to have some eroero scene...

Can you guess who is the girl that is going to bring us some fap material?


Chapter 145: My aim is to defeat her.

Drako was once again in the showers. As one of his favourite activities, and one of his greatest pleasures that was second only to sex and little else, Drako took long baths every day.

And today was no exception.

In the end, Drako had left after leaving those words to Raynare, not without first proving that there was life in her. How could a girl have such a weak will? She had stood so brave and proud when she had defeated Kouki...

Valina had spoken to Drako about Tobio and Kouki's improvements in combat. Still, he had never expected them to reach this level so soon. Drako knew that Kouki was very experienced in fighting, but Tobio was just an ordinary kid.

Raynare had also been fighting two-on-one in every fight, as Byakusa and Jin were assisting their masters. But that did not detract from the two boys, as their Sacred Gears were part of their strength.

Drako was more surprised to see the talent Tobio had with the scythe. He was a real natural prodigy, the kind you don't see for years. Not only that, but he was intelligent and dedicated to training.

To have allies such as these was certainly a blessing for Drako.

In the end, there were always limits to what only one person could do. When Khaos Brigade makes their final attack, Drako will only be able to stand on one front. Since the locations to be attacked at the same time are numerous, Akatsuki needed to have talented members to support them anywhere.

Drako's idea was to have at least fourteen Servants by the time Trihexa awakens. As far as he knew, Trihexa could divide its body into seven parts, with which it would attack in seven different places in the world. Drako wanted to send at least two Servants to each location to get as many experience points as possible.

Tobio... he was a good choice to be one of Drako's Servants. But he wasn't going to use a Fate Point on him at the moment.

Tobio wasn't like Kuroka, since he hadn't yet reached his full potential. Drako was not certain, but he had a feeling that it would be counterproductive to turn Tobio into a Servant before he unlocked his full potential.

Kuroka had not reached her limit when she became Drako's Servant, but she was not so far from it. Tobio, on the other hand, was just an ordinary boy. If Drako were to turn Tobio into a Servant, the outcome might be worse than expected.

Drako sat in the outer bath, still not finished rinsing, as he thought about all this.

"Dra-kun, how was your day?"

Said a voice beside him. Kuroka accompanied Drako 90% of the time when he bathed, where they always ended up having sex.

"It wasn't bad."

Drako turned his head to look at the girl sitting next to him.

She was a blonde girl dressed in a sports swimsuit. Only one girl called him Dra-kun, and that was Lavinia.

"What are you doing here, Lavinia?"

Drako had sensed the girl coming but was surprised to actually see her here. This was the boys' bathroom, and the only boy in this house was Drako. Because this was the boys' bathroom, Drako and Kuroka were sure to have sex without some other girl coming in and discovering them in the act. Though Kuroka had suggested from time to time that they might try to do it in the girls' bathroom, Drako had refused instantly. He did not want to leave any trauma in the smaller girls.

For a woman like Lavinia, she shouldn't be in the boys' room. At Drako's words, however, Lavinia bowed her head in confusion.

"It's all right if we're alone, isn't it?"

Lavinia responded with words that can be easily misunderstood.

Drako, who after a few months of living with her daily could say he knew her quite well, knew that she did not understand what was wrong in this situation.

Drako simply shrugged. If she did not mind, Drako would not complain about having a beautiful girl with a voluptuous body next to him.

Now that Drako was paying more attention to Lavinia, he could not help but be stunned.

If Drako were to make an honest choice, and be completely objective, Lavinia was, without a doubt, the most beautiful girl in this building. Although Kuroka had the advantage of being a Nekoshou, as the ears and tail of a cat gave an extra appeal, she could not nearly match Lavinia's pure, ethereal beauty. Drako would not love Kuroka any less for this, as she was still a celestial beauty.

Lavinia looked like she was coming from the pool, which was on the same floor as the baths, so her blonde hair and her bathing suit were wet. The wet suit clung to Lavinia's curves, making her beautiful figure even more erotic.

Drako swallowed hard before asking.

"Have you come to take a shower?"

"Why else would I come?"

Lavinia answered honestly with another question.

A girl entering the boys' bathroom, where the only boy was bathing, could be hinting at a lot. Especially considering how erotic Lavinia looked at the moment. It was easy to interpret Lavinia's actions as "I've got my legs open for you".

But... Lavinia was so pure that she couldn't think of this. She'd probably come in here by mistake, and she hadn't even bothered when she'd seen Drako. "We are close friends" or "Drako is a good person" is what Lavinia had thought.

"So, what are you doing in your swimsuit?"

"Oh, that's right."

Without worrying about Drako, Lavinia took off her bathing suit. As it was a one-piece bathing suit, Lavinia had to remove it from top to bottom. As it was wet, Lavinia had some difficulty taking off her bathing suit. This was problematic for her, but extremely exciting for Drako. Unconsciously, Lavinia was giving Drako an erotic striptease.

This is bad...

Drako didn't know if he'd be able to keep this up for long.

Lavinia had barely managed to get her swimsuit down to the area around her navel.

Drako could only describe what his eyes were seeing with the word "incredible". Those heavenly breasts, which were even bigger than Kuroka's, hung seductively. The pink nipples seemed to be screaming at Drako, "I want you to draw milk from us," and Drako was willing to do so.

Lavinia lifted one leg, drawing Drako's attention to it. Lavinia's snow-white skin was as beautiful as she was. Tender and delicate, Drako was sure that a light pat would change the colour of that skin to crimson red.

Only one leg remained for Lavinia to be completely naked. A strip of cloth covered Drako from the sight of the witch's lower lips. This was the perfect moment when someone interrupted the protagonist of an anime harem from enjoying the moment.

But this was not an anime harem, this was a hentai harem.

Lavinia lifted her other leg and finally finished taking off her bathing suit. She left her entire body naked, which Drako was enjoying without hesitation.

She had undressed in front of Drako, why shouldn't he look?

Again, any other boy who didn't know Lavinia would surely think she had dirty intentions about all this. She was too innocent to consider that what she was doing was seductive and erotic.

"How was practice today?"

Lavinia sat next to Drako again after leaving her bathing suit in a laundry basket, which already contained Drako's clothes.

"Raynare won against Kouki, but lost to Tobio."

Drako summed up what happened to Lavinia.

"Ah, Toby has won?"

Drako had to suppress his laughter when he heard the nickname Lavinia had given Tobio. It sounded like she was talking about her dog when she referred to young Ikuse.

"Yes, he has resorted to strategy to defeat her. Of course, other factors have also played a part, but the strategy has been the most important."

Lavinia nodded with a happy smile.

"It's good to know they're getting so much better. They seemed so lost when we first found them... it was so painful to see Tobio so desperate because of what Shaae was suffering..."

Yes, that was true. When Drako first found Tobio, he was mentally dead. Ikuse was a boy who had lost everything, so he had no reason to go on living. Knowing that there was a chance that his childhood friend was still alive was what had motivated the boy to act, and Drako knew that Sae was the only motivation the boy had to keep moving forward.

"Dra-kun, have you finished cleaning yourself?"

"No, I was just getting started when you arrived."

"Ah! I have a plan!"

Lavinia raised her arm excitedly. She seemed to be very pleased with herself for having discovered an incredible idea.

"Yes?"

"I'll clean you first, and you'll clean me later."

Lavinia was speaking with confidence.

"Why?"

Drako forced himself to ask Lavinia as he swallowed hard. When she had made her statement, she had bowed to Drako, giving him a full view of the mountain paradise.

"Well, you've already started bathing, so you should be the first to finish. Don't worry, you can help me later."

"Sigh... okay."

Lavinia was so happy and energetic to hear Drako's answer that the boy knew he had done the right thing.

It wasn't as if Drako had accepted because he had high expectations of this "bath".

"I'll start with your back."

Lavinia grabbed a cloth, and knelt behind Drako. She pushed Drako's back slightly, causing him to bend over, so that she could clean him more easily.

"Dra-kun has a wide back..."

Lavinia muttered absently as she ran the cloth over Drako's back.

Drako would definitely have responded to that comment, but he was too focused on enjoying the feel of Lavinia's breasts touching his back. It was a soft sensation, and it was especially exciting to feel Lavinia's nipples poking at her back.

Drako was already erect since Lavinia had done that little striptease, but now his Little Brother had become a Dragon Spear at full power.

"L-Lavinia, how is Valerie doing?"

Drako had to be distracted, or he'd end up forcing himself on Lavinia.

Kuroka had given him permission to form a harem, but Drako was sure she would despise him if he raped Lavinia. Damn it, even he would despise himself if he hurt such a pure soul.

In the end, he had ended up thinking of another blonde girl of transcendent beauty. Like Lavinia, Valerie also had a Longinus.

"She's getting better. Valerie had no idea what she could do with her Sacred Gear, as she had never used it for anything other than contacting the dead. Her brother had not informed her of anything, so this was a normal thing."

Marius Tepes, Valerie's half-brother, had already started experimenting with Valerie when Mordred rescued her. As a result, she had become a girl who barely spoke, and when she did, she had a vicious tongue.

The only person who had really managed to get close to Valerie had been Lavinia, and it seemed that she was now starting to open up more to Shirone.

Those two girls were, without a doubt, the purest of all of them, so it made sense that she would be able to open up Valerie's frozen heart.

"Actually, I can't help her much with her Sacred Gear. All Longinus are different, and they have their unique abilities. It was thanks to my teacher that I was able to control mine better."

Lavinia continued to explain while she was washing Drako's back. She seemed to be putting detail into every point of Drako's back as if she were recording them in her mind.

"As someone gifted with a Longinus, I could only give you one piece of advice... To realize the full potential of a Longinus, you have to consider it a part of yourself. Although it's more specific advice for Longinus like Toby's and mine, it also applies to others."

"Unification?"

It was the first time Drako had heard this explanation. He thought that a Sacred Gear grows exponentially depending on the wishes of its user, the limit of the user, and the limit of Sacred Gear itself. The difference between the Longinus and the other Sacred Gears was that they knew no limit, or the limit was too high compared to the other Sacred Gears.

"That's right. The real way to manipulate a Sacred Gear, which is your alter ego, is to sympathize with it, to resonate with it. Not just in the body, but you have to become one from the heart and soul. In the dark depths of Sacred Gear, it is said that if, and only if, you can reach it, then you will find its true form."

Lavinia had finished with her back and had begun to wash Drako's arms.

"I seem to know a lot about this subject, but, to tell you the truth, I can't skilfully control my own Sacred Gear either. In order to be truly competent with my Sacred Gear, if I investigate the truth to integrate with it... I will come to understand the puppet. I should be the one controlling the puppet, that princess, but the truth is the princess is not some kind of puppet... That's how it feels at least, and it's pretty scary... Although I've learned magic, my fear of the power that has been lodged within me since I was born has not diminished in the slightest."

A mixture of pain and fear escaped Lavinia's voice. Drako was sure that something had happened related to her Sacred Gear in the past, and this had affected Lavinia.

A Sacred Gear may seem like a blessing, but there are many cases where it is a curse.

Issei was the clearest example of this. If Rias had not reincarnated him, his life would have ended with his date with Raynare. And all because he had Sacred Gear inside him.

Drako had already received Issei's Fate Point, so the events of the future were going to change. Or at least, Issei's involvement in events was going to be different.

"Lavinia, what is your relationship with that old witch?"

Drako was referring to the bearer of the Longinus Incinerate Anthem. Lavinia had informed them about her, but had not told them exactly what their relationship was. Drako thought this was a good time to ask, as it was going to be difficult to find a place alone with Lavinia.

"She's my enemy."

Suddenly, Lavinia's face was practically glued to Drako's. She wasn't wearing anything, so she'd left everything in Drako's sight.

"My aim... is to defeat her."

.................
