章 108: Chapter 47 – Ultimate…
"Maybe because they are humans and it is hard for them to judge the powers of other beings from only their legends," that was the answer that Rias gave Aransae.
"What are you talking about?"
Kiba, who only appeared in this place along with Akeno found the whole thing to be secretive. And usually, he wouldn't ask such a question, but recently he met with two Holy Sword wielder from the Church, which bothered him, reminding him of his past and the vow he took.
Rias hesitated before answering him, "Kokabiel stole Holy Swords from Church. Yet, the church only sent those two Holy Sword Wilders. We were wondering why that is."
Aransae watched Kiba with curious eyes, "Did those two girls tell you? That they are going after the Fallen Angel from Bible?"
"Fufufu, Kiba picked a fight with them," Akeno sat down beside Aransae, stealing his lips for herself.
"Who won?" Aransae asked between the kisses.
"It was pretty much Kiba's victory until the blue head brought out her trump card, then it was pretty much equal."
"Forgive me, Master, Queen. I have disappointed you both," Kiba bowed forward, apologising as he gripped his sword.
"Kiba, there is no need. I had my doubts, but I am sure now. Those girls, even with the support they get from Holy Swords, most they can reach is Level 1000. And that is because you were fighting them with the swords. If it were Rias when she was Level 800, then the match would have been pretty equal too since Xenovia would have to deal with the range as well," Aransae was talking when he noticed the strange looks, he was getting from everyone.
"What?"
"No, just. I wasn't expecting such an apt insight," Rias shook her head, only to see the smug smile on his lips.
"I did fight against thrall. Close combat didn't work at all. If I hadn't taken the range, then I'd be defeated," He blinked, seeing that they still didn't understand the connection, "I have the Knowledge of the Dungeon. Since my subconscious is connected with the Dungeon. What takes other people's months or years to click, I can have that after a few tries."
"As usual, Master is the best," Koneko put her head on his lap, curling up on the sofa to get spoiled by him.
Kiba cleared his throat, "How strong is our enemy?"
"About Level 1400 to 1500," Rias carefully said, "To begin with. Difference is strength between Level 1 to Level 2, and Level 1401 to Level 1402 is not the same."
"Oh, I know that. At the maximum. He is about 50 Times stronger than Rias," Aransae raised his hand, informing them.
"50 Times, we are cutting it close," Kiba spoke, "I have been training with Issei. Currently, 48 Times is the Limit of his Boost. More than that, and he'd had to use the Dragon's power, which will permanently change his body. Which will be dangerous."
"Can't master make up for the gap?" Kiba asked.
"Not really. That Dragon is weary of me. It's either Issei using Dungeon's power or him using Dragon's power," Aransae scratched his cheek, "Maybe we should invite those two Holy Sword users. They should help make up the gap."
Kiba clenched his fist, "I am sorry, Master! But I am against that!"
Aransae tilted his head, looking towards the window when Kiba felt his body freeze, "Kiba, I feel the souls of your friends over there—"
Before he even completed the sentence, he felt this banging against his control. He shifted his eyes towards Kiba, knowing he would react like that. He didn't want him to go out of control and give themselves away, which was why he held him in place to begin with, "I know how you feel but if you go rushing in now, then I won't be able to help your friends. Like Fujimai and Shuri."
Hearing that, Kiba finally calmed down and Aransae let go of his control over Kiba, "Now, then, as I was saying. Your friends' souls are there. I should be able to help them. The problem is…what if they know about your friends' souls and use them as leverage?"
"I don't think we would have to worry about that," Akeno softly smiled at him, "my mother was with me for so long and I had no idea that she was there. I doubt others would know."
"I agree."
"Then, it's a matter of when we pick the fight," Aransae looked towards Rias, who took her palm in hers, "Rias has more experience than me in this matter."
"I doubt even my experience would help much," Rias gripped his palm, softly smiling, "thank you for trusting me. Master."
"Rias-senpai," Kiba eagerly asked, "when do we attack?"
"Let's do this. Akeno. Go call Sona and her Peerage. Gasper, safely bring Issei and Asia here. Sona should be able to create a barrier to help us stop any damage from spreading. Kiba, take Koneko and bring those Holy Sword users. Once we are all here. We are going to attack."
They were talking when the glass broke and they all barely had any time to react. Two tails appeared on Koneko's back and she appeared in front of Aransae and Rias, catching the thing that was thrown towards them.
She fell back, landing on her feet, holding the body of one of the Holy Sword users with torn up body suit in her arms. They all turned their head towards the Fallen Angel flying in the sky, with 5 pair of wings. He had pale skin, pointy ears and long black hair, looking at them with a blood thirsty grin, "It was a good plan. But did you think I wouldn't notice you rats around?"
"Master!" Kiba summoned the demonic sword as his body burst forward, appearing in front of Kokabiel, "Die!"
The clash between the sword and Kokabiel's wings caused sparks to appear in front of their eyes, only to find the Fallen Angel laughing, "Hahahaha, now you are talking!! Like I heard! Gremory Peerage used the Dungeon to become stronger! Hahaha! Show me the strength you gained!!"
Meanwhile,
Issei abruptly sat up in his bed. He climbed up on the bed, running towards the door to his room, before he ran to the guest room that Asia was using. He hurriedly opened the door, stepping inside, "Asia! Asia!"
The blonde-haired girl shifted in the bed, climbing up to look towards the door. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Issei-san…?"
"Asia! We need to get there! Master! Buchou! They are fighting the enemy!"
"O-Oh!" It took a moment for her to digest what Issei was shouting. She climbed up the bed, when she noticed the changes in Issei's body, his hair had a honey-brown shade, his eyes became hazel with golden flecks, and his height grew by a few inches.
"Master!" Asia got off the bed when Aransae moved his palm and two summoning circles appeared under their bodies, changing their clothes to their uniform, "Asia, can you summon the dragon that you made a contract with?"
"Rassei?! Yes, master," a summoning circle appeared in front of Asia's eyes, and from it came the small blue dragon. Aransae didn't have the time to explain the dragon. He touched the summoning circle, which was supposed to disappear when lightning appeared, "Sorry about this, Rassei. I need your power."
If it was anyone else, then the Dragon wouldn't even let them approach it. Probably because of his sharp instincts, he couldn't even shift his body. Aransae reformed the contract, granting the Dragon the ability to use Dungeons power. It grew in size, from big enough to be hugged by Asia to the size that the bed beneath it broke and its tail gauged the wall, "Take a detour for me."
Asia rubbed Rassei's neck, calming his down, nodding towards their Peerage Master who left, and Issei returned to normal, "I know where to go."
He was ready to leave when he realised, "How…are we going to get out?"
Meanwhile, In front of the Abandoned Church,
Kokabiel climbed out of the rubble. His body shook from Rias and Akeno's attack but he was even more boisterous than he was before, laughing, "Hahaha! That stung a bit. Are you holding back on the account of humans? If so—"
"Don't even think about that," Aransae formed the shape of a spear with his threats, throwing it towards Kokabiel, who deflected it with his wing like it was nothing, 'not good enough…I can do better. I can fight better. I don't have the combat experience…but I can—'
He tugged on his hair, breaking it from the root. He threw it in front of him.
"Gigantify!"
"What are you doing…?" Kokabiel keenly watched him, wondering what he was going to do, when he saw the hair multiply in size, becoming ten times taller than his size, coming towards him like a whip, "Haha! As if that would do anything!"
"Divide!"
The hair divided into three. Aransae watched the tree stands of hair, each thrice his size and some more. He closed his eyes, knowing the changes that would come along with his words, "Bat Mimicry, Skeleton Mimicry, Slime Mimicry. Activate."
"And Gigantify."
The bat, the slime, and skeleton grew in size, becoming as huge as houses. The change only made Kokabiel laugh wildly, "Come BOY!! Let us enjoy ourselves!"
"Sonic Scream," Aransae's voice echoed in the surrounding, and the massive bat lowered its body, letting out a sonic scream that covered Kokabiel. The fallen angel tried to use his wings to defend himself but the sonic scream went through his wings, hitting his body, shaking his brain and insides, "HAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He screamed, swiping out his wings and his chaotic magical energy to break the effect, only to see those hazel eyes, glistening with gold, "Thousand Whips."
Kokabiel widened his eyes, seeing the corner of his eyes, seeing the blue whip come towards him. He created a spear of light, using it to slash the whip, only to realise that they were coming from all sides, surrounding him. His eyes glinted as a laugh escaped his mouth, "Hahahahahahah!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!! NOT ENOUGH!! THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!"
He created a spear of light, twice his size, with enough energy to destroy the whole town. A wave of energy flashed past, destroying all the whips, only to hear his voice again, "Return. Gigantify…"
"VERTICAL SLASH!"
Kokabiel looked towards find where the enemy was, but all he saw was white. He pulled away, finally able to see the Skeleton towering higher than any building in this town, its sword coming down on Kokabiel, "THIS IS IT! FINALLY,YOU ARE NOT HOLDING BACK ON THE ACCOUNT OF THOSE ANTS!!!"
The sword clashed with the sphere of energy when he heard a shout directed at him. The sound of glass breaking from Issei and Asia breaking in through the barrier, flying on the dragon, "MASTER!!!"
"Return," Aransae took back the skeleton, which broke apart into dust, returning to him. He let out a breath of relief, hearing the sound he needed to hear.
"BOOST"
"TRANSFER!!"
The magical energy within Rias surged, multiplying nearly fifty-fold. It coursed through her veins, empowering her beyond her previous limits. There was already a core of energy on top of her head, radiant sphere of intense energy. She channelled all her strength into the core.
Kokabiel, the opposing force, sensed the surge of power from Rias. His laughter filled the air, a mixture of amusement and anticipation. "THIS IS EVEN BETTER!! Such exquisite demonic power! Wonderful Rias Gremory! You truly are the sister of Sirzechs!"
In response, a blinding light erupted from Kokabiel as he unleashed his own counterattack. He aimed to push back Rias's Power of Destruction with his overwhelming force. The clash between the two energies created a spectacular display of raw power and unleashed devastation. Yellow and red-black lightning crackled and danced across the area, tearing through the surroundings and reducing them to rubble.
As the clash intensified, Rias felt the strain. Cuts appeared on her body as her clothes tore under the immense pressure. However, Kokabiel suffered even worse. His hands and fingers seared and burned by the intense clash of powers, leaving him visibly weakened.
The clash between Rias and Kokabiel became the focal point of the battlefield, drawing the attention of all those present. The outcome of their confrontation would determine the fate of Kuoh Town and the lives of its inhabitants. Every movement, every surge of power, and every clash of energy held immense significance in this momentous battle.
"Truly wonderful!!" Kokabiel increased the power behind his energy, managing to deflect Power of Destruction, sending it flying in the sky. He madly grinned, "Did you think that would be enough to defeat me?!"
"That is why! I am here!"
Kokabiel was focusing on Rias when the blue dragon flew past him, and the girl with blue hair, holding the Holy Sword with a blue blade and golden edge, humming with destructive power, "DURANDAL!!!"
Just as the attack was about to connect, the barrier broke and a white light came crashing down, hitting Kokabiel, and sending Xenovia flying back. The dragon, along with Issei and Asia swung around, catching Xenovia before she fell. It slowly landed on the ground beside Aransae, along with Kiba protectively stood in front of him while Rias and Akeno landed beside him.
"Who…is that?" Issei muttered, feeling the Ddraig, the Dragon in his Sacred Gear become unsettled.
"That's this Generation's White Dragon Emperor…the enemy of you, the Red Dragon Emperor."
"White Dragon Emperor?" Rias looked towards the person covered in white armour, narrowing her eyes, "Why are you interfering?"
"I can't have you kill him. Azazel asked me to bring him back. I was only curious about the powers of Dungeon Master and Red Dragon Emperor…but it was disappointing. You have potential, maybe in the future you would be—"
"You are not taking him away," Aransae felt his leg tremble. In the attack against Kokabiel, he had used all his powers.
"You are so called Dungeon-Master? I head you gave up all your power to become a devil. To think you have become this weak," White Dragon scoffed, "Do you think you can stop me with the Power you have?"
"Master, it's better to let him go," Rias softly suggested.
Aransae looked up towards the night sky, letting out a breath, "I might be new to the world…doesn't mean I am stupid. I know Underworld is far away from us….and I haven't even gone to visit yet."
He looked towards Rias, taking her palm in his, watching her tired and worried expression. He softly smiled, "when I asked Rias to become my Queen. To give up her Peerage. I asked her for everything. Her reputation, her family. Her name. Her connections."
"Master," Rias whispered under her breath, grabbing hold of his arms.
"White Dragon. You see," Aransae turned his gaze towards the White Dragon Emperor, "Because I asked her for everything. I cannot lose. If I lost, then Rias will lose, and I won't let her lose."
White Dragon Emperor smirked. He removed his helmet, letting out a smile. He sliver-hair moved with the wind, his light blue eyes fixed on Aransae, "you have a backbone. Fine, but how are you going to fight me."
"He doesn't have to," Akeno flew in front of Aransae, along with Issei, Asia, Xenovia, "He doesn't have to. We are his Servants! We will fight for him."
"You? You couldn't even fight against someone like Kokabiel," Vali mocked, hearing the thumping sound of the body falling. They looked towards the old man, shaking to the core, and Kiba who kept staring at Vali. He stopped in front of them, pointing a new Holy Demonic Sword towards Vali, "Thank you for giving me this chance. Master. Let me fight for you."
"I am here too," Koneko landed in front of them. Her tails swaying from side to side as she took her stance.
"Hey…I don't know what is going on…but that guy is an enemy…I can fight too," Irina wobbled, walking from behind them, standing beside Xenovia.
Vali raised his arm, taunting them, "Even with these numbers. You are far too weak!"
Aransae bend forward, grabbing on his knees. He let out a breath, feeling the warmth and fuzziness in his heart. He let out a smile, "I only have one memory…from before this. It's my dearest treasure…and I have a friend. That friend of mine was so cool, like the heroes that children grow up dreaming about…confident, powerful. He could probably do everything on his own…"
"Master," Akeno muttered. Their enemy was strong, and they were all ready to put their life on the line. Though the last thing they expected was him to start talking about him. Though, the next moment, they all saw the tiny slimes jump up on them, surrounding their swords, taking their blood or remembering the shape of their Sacred Gear.
"Your point?"
Aransae shook his head. He stepped behind Kiba, patting his shoulder, hearing his intent in his mind, Kiba turned and knelt down in front of him. Aransae placed his palm on Kiba's head, answering Vali, "I am not him. I am…Aransae. I carry the names Spindra and Caelum. You called me Dungeon Master…didn't you? But that's not what I am."
His magic energy burst out, and along with it, his WILL caused the ripples in space that surrounded Kiba, along with all the slimes, golden and green ribbons burst out from the ground with only Aransae and Kiba at the centre, sending out shockwave that forced the others to back away, and Vali to cover his face as he flew back. The air became heavier, visible even, the pressure like raindrops came down on him, wanting to crush him.
"Vali! Stop him!" White Dragon Albion warned his wielder.
"No way! This is starting to look fun," Vali's eyes glinted with ferocity, seeing the beautiful ribbons dance in the air, hearing his voice ringing in the depths of his soul.
"I am the Progenitor of Dungeon, Monsters and Beasts. I am ARANSAE SPINDRA CAELUM!"
Vali coughed out blood, his body sank to the ground, cracks appeared all around him. His light blue eyes fixed on the boy kneeling in the middle of the storm.
His eyes remained fixed on Kiba, seeing a white and silver armour with an intricate golden accent. The armour was sleek, form fitting.
The helmet resembled a dragon's head with blue sapphire eyes that radiated with Red Dragon's powers. Lightning like cracks ran along with joints of armour.
On his chest plate was the symbol of phoenix emanating a warm, glowing light, its wings spread out, ironically forming the shape of the cross.
The knight stood at the centre, holding the strangest sword he had ever seen. The blade and hilt were one. The hilt went down, the unique element circled to form a circle, and the blade continued downwards.
Strange light glowed inside the circle between the hilt and the blade.
Aransae fell to his knee as the ribbons and light disappeared. He looked at Vali, "And creation has always been my strongest suit."
"You wanted an opponent? Then Fight my Ultimate Knight. The one who bears my Blood and Name."
"Yuuto Kiba Caelum."
"Hahahehehehehehehehehe! You are so much fun," Vali got on his feet, wiping the blood off his lips, "You went through a dress change. So what?"
Kiba took a step forward, slicing his sword to the side, "Allow me to show you the power my Master granted me. Grand Mandala."
A spiral in the sword exuded the light. A flash of light appeared, causing the circle to flash into the sky, swirling, and expanding, making everyone look towards the sky.
Among them was Valper Galilei. The man who experimented on Kiba and his friends, who sought to create the Holy Sword Users. The scientist from the church, and right now, his eyes were wide, looking at the reflection in the sky, overwhelmed by its beauty and fear. He denied it, "Impossible! A weapon like that cannot exist! It's not possible! As long as God of Bible is…!"
"I know! I know! I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING!!"
"GOD OF BIBLE IS DEAD!!"
