Chapter 226: Sephiroth Graal
Inside the training room, Drako was sitting at a table with Lavinia and Valerie.
"First of all, tell me everything you know about the Sephiroth Graal."
That was what Drako had told them.
Although he knew a lot about the Sephiroth Graal, he wanted to see if Lavinia had discovered anything else. After all, Valerie's Longinus was a special case, a mutation, so it could contain many more powers than had been discovered in the Light Novels.
Lavinia shook her head.
"All the information I have comes from the writings I have managed to obtain from Grauzauberer," Lavinia said.
She pulled out a folder that said "Classified Information" and passed it to Drako. Obviously, this folder was very important to one of the most influential magicians' organizations in the supernatural world, Grauzauberer. Lavinia, who knew of the importance of this document, had no hesitation in handing it over to Drako.
In that folder, there were many papers, but many of them were not really important. Obviously, everything was about the Sephiroth Graal, but the great majority spoke of this Longinus's past holders. All this was not important information for Drako, far from it.
What really mattered to Drako was the abilities of this Sacred Gear. As an ancient and powerful organization, Grauzauberer should have a lot of information about this Longinus' abilities. And that's what Drako was looking for.
In the end, he didn't take long to find it.
What it said was this:
ABILITIES
The Sephiroth Graal has the ability to make contact with the principle of life, where the possessor is being forcefully told about how the life and soul is made. The possessor also takes in the mind and the concept of the dead, the living, and various other things as they use the Holy Grail which would result in the possessor being broken by the abundance of thoughts that enters their heart and soul when overusing the Sephiroth Graal.
From its power to control the principle of life, the Sephiroth Graal can bring the dead back to life. The Sephiroth Graal can also revive the dead as many times as the user desire as long as the soul of the deceased remains intact. This power depends on the ability of the user.
SIDE EFFECTS
A side effect of the corrosion caused by overusing the Sephiroth Graal is the possessor gaining the ability to talk with and apparently see the dead from the other world. 95% of the users has gone crazy by overusing this Sacred Gear.
When I finished reading this, Drako was a little disappointed. This was very important information, yes, but it was nothing he didn't know beforehand. What he was looking for was confidential information, but he hadn't been able to find anything. It was okay to refresh what he already knew, but... Drako expected a lot more.
But Valerie's Sacred Gear was special, not your average Longinus. Throughout DxD, they have seen irregular Balance Breaker how they can be those that get Issei, Vali, Cao Cao, Tobio Ikuse... but there are only two Sacred Gears that are irregular in their most basic form.
One of them is Siegfried's Twice Critical, while the other is none other than Valerie's Sephiroth Graal.
The anomaly in Valerie's Sacred Gear came in the form of three grails instead of one. And it also came with more powerful ones than those usually carried by Longinus.
Among them was the ability to remove any creature's weaknesses, although only to a certain extent. Not only that, but it could grant immortality as long as the soul of the target is not damaged. Drako still remembered how Marius Tepes remained alive even after Rias Gremory destroyed 75% of his body with the Power of Destruction.
Of course, Grauzauberer couldn't know about all this. After all, anomalies in Sacred Gears were very rare, and they probably only appeared to give the Light Novels a thrill.
Drako put the documents back in the folder and returned it to Lavinia.
"Anything else?" Drako asked.
Lavinia frowned. "It's complicated, Valerie's Sephiroth Graal is... strange."
Drako looked at the Dhampir, who lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, then looked back at Lavinia, feigning ignorance.
"What do you mean, strange?" Drako asked.
"Valerie, can you show him?" Lavinia asked her.
She nodded, and just as Drako expected, three identical grails appeared on the table. He examined them carefully, trying to uncover the secrets of this one.
Drako had always been fascinated by everything about Sacred Gears. They had a mystery behind them that was very difficult to understand.
The God of the Bible... was a person Drako had a lot of respect for.
A divine being able to take beings, weapons, and souls from other mythologies for his own... how powerful did he have to be to do that?
Having known the Greek Gods, Drako doubted very much that they would have peacefully accepted that God would take Lycaon, for example, to create a weapon (Longinus Canis Lycaon) that had the potential to kill them. It was impossible that they would have peacefully accepted this decision.
How powerful was this God of the Bible really?
Could he have reached the level of Shiva?
Drako didn't know, and he wasn't going to give much thought to a dead God either. What he was really giving importance to was DxD's ultimate enemy, Tri-hexa. The beast of the apocalypse, 666, was the most powerful enemy without a doubt, since both Great Red and Ophis could not be considered enemies. They were powerful beings, but were more neutral than anything else.
Shiva was the only god who had a power relatively close to that of the Tri-hexa, and even he had recognized that his power was inferior to that of the beast. If Drako really wanted to get as much experience as possible, he should have at least more than half the power of the Tri-hexa.
"This is... definitely interesting," Drako said as he watched the three grails placed on the table.
"What do you think? Lavinia asked.
Drako leaned over the table as he looked at the two girls.
"I have a theory," Drako flashed a mysterious smile. "Have you tried to eliminate weaknesses with the Longinus?"
