章 63: Chapter 61: Political Shitstorm
"Serafall... T-that's..." Sirzechs was about to have an aneurysm as he saw the golden sword Mordred had.
"Excalibur... And not just the fragments... That is the real one, how?" Ajuka was surprised.
"I don't know, I'm also wondering how he got his hands on that!" Serafall panicked as the underworld would definitely be breathing on their necks right after the rating game.
"The sword of promised victory. And the sword of the victorious. Serafall, we need to talk later." Sirzechs glared at her as he would definitely have the most work, being the one in charge of domestic affairs.
"Okay..." Serafall was too shocked to even argue and they watched what would happen next.
Back at the rating game, Zephrydor's peerage that was all at ultimate class due to receiving an illegal power up was shaking in fear.
'W-what is this? This is impossible! We received Ophis' snakes. How can they be more powerful than us?' Zephrydor was having a mental breakdown.
"I do not know how you got to ultimate class, but I've encountered it before. I can feel the dimensional gap in you." Mordred squinted his eyes and wondered why Ophis would support him.
"Mo-chan, how about you go crazy." Mordred ordered and she nodded with a toothy grin.
"Yo! My master just ordered me to take care of you. How about we go wild? Clarent! Blood Arthur!" Mo-chan's sword bursted with demonic energy and a sword made of energy emerged from her blade that is dozens of meters long.
"S-shields! Create barriers immediately!" Zephrydor shouted in a panic and multiple magic circles appeared to protect them.
"Kyahaha! That's it! Resist with all you can!" Mo-chan appeared right in front of them and she swung her sword.
The barriers of Zephrydor's peerage cracked and they supplemented it with more mana to survive the attack.
Laughing like a maniac, Mo-chan kept on hitting their barrier like it was a whack a mole machine.
"Great! Resist! I wanna see your faces when I break this thing open like an egg!" Mo-chan attacked with extreme prejudice, making Mordred nod at her new way of attacking.
It needed a bit more polishing, but she was on the right track.
"Die! You shitty devil!" Mo-chan was having too much fun and Ise who was supposed to be the one fighting alone made a move.
She put two fingers on her forehead and she disappeared.
"Boo." She tapped Zephrydor's shoulder and flicked him with a finger.
Her strength was unreal though, more of a physical fighter anyways. A shockwave exploded due to her flick and trees got uprooted by winds that were stronger than hurricanes.
The ground cratered below them and Zephrydor plowed through the ground. Bouncing from time to time like a pebble thrown on a lake.
"Rain of swords." Mordred raised his arm and black blades made of Apophis' shadows formed in the sky.
Thousands upon thousands of swords appeared and they pointed right at Zephrydor's peerage.
Mordred then flicked his wrist downwards, making the swords rain down. The onslaught of attacks skewered Zephrydor's peerage. Turning them into porcupines.
The viewers winced as they saw Zephrydor's peerage that was in a sorry state, even worse than a pin cushion.
"Zephrydor's rooks, bishops, knights, and pawns have been eliminated." Serafall announced with a surprised tone.
"Heh, burning down the world is the best. But I could make do with that devil. Here's a little treat from me." One of Azi Dahaka's heads gave him another forbidden magic.
Mordred then smirked as he thought that it was perfect for the occasion. "Curse of the undying." He casted it on Zephrydor and Vali pinned down his queen.
"Shhh, just watch what's going to happen." Vali had a twisted grin under her helmet and Zephrydor stood up, not really feeling different.
"W-what did you do?" He was filled with terror and Mordred shrugged. "Just a little buff for you. Let me give you a hint, it's used on people to make things last." Mordred explained it a bit.
Zephrydor suddenly coughed up blood as Ise appeared behind him and she shoved her arm through his chest clean through.
"I... I should've been teleported away now." Zephrydor felt himself weaken. But Mordred's forbidden spells healed him and didn't permit him to die.
Mo-chan then started chopping him up to pieces, but his limbs just kept on going back to his body and reformed it.
"Guhehehe, this is fun, master. We should do this more often." Mo-chan beheaded Zephrydor and she kicked his head away.
But just like earlier, it returned to his body and reattached itself.
Zephrydor suddenly found himself in the middle of a storm. Zenith Tempest eviscerating him thousands of times a second, it was like being torn apart atom by atom.
Serafall and the Satans could only look with a wince. A dragon's wrath was definitely brutal. But if it was coupled with a human's ingenuity. The results speak for itself.
The underworld was quiet as they heard Zephrydor scream for his life. And he couldn't even get hoarse due to the curse that Mordred put on him.
"You dare to covet one of my friends? I would have been fine with it if you genuinely liked her. But your filthy desires cannot be hidden from me, devil." Mordred started walking towards the storm and Dulio made a path for him.
"You know, I've heard of devils being weak to holiness and light. It has been treated as a fact since the beginning of your race, Lucifer was the only one that is immune to it. So I am curious about the limits of an ultimate class devil." Mordred walked up right to him and Kusanagi glowed.
He then stabbed Zephrydor on the chest and he screamed like a banshee. His blood and flesh were bubbling as Kusanagi burned him to the extreme. The sword rejecting his very soul and essence.
"Tell me, what was your intention with Sona?" Morded stabbed him again and Zephrydor couldn't even form a single thought, except pain.
"Not talking I see? How about another one." Mordred added Galatine to the mix and the light, coupled with the holy fire of it made Zephrydor conflagrate.
"Speak, what was your intention with Sona?" Mordred looked at him like he was dirt.
And again, no answer from the devil. "So you want to do this the hard way huh? Lavinia, give me Incinerate Anthem." Mordred raised his palm and Lavinia made her cross fly right to him.
"Hey, little fella. See this filthy devil here? He's got bad intentions for my friend. And this punk won't reveal his plans." Mordred stabbed Zephrydor's limbs with Arondight, Kusanagi, Galatine, and Clarent.
Pinning him to the ground like a frog that is going to be dissected.
Mordred gutted him with Merodach and rolled his intestines on his sword like spaghetti.
He then pushed Incinerate Anthem right onto his forehead, the cross burning with violet flames that aggressively burned Zephrydor's face until all his skin were turned to ashes.
"Tell me! What were you planning against Sona?" Mordred took off the holy objects on him and pinned him with Gram.
"He even has Gram, he's like an armory of legendary swords..." Sirzechs was speechless. And it definitely shocked the other Satans.
A holy sword wielder, also using Gram. The strongest demonic sword. It was like an angel, using the pillar clans' signature magic.
"I was going to marry her and pass her around as my toy." Zephrydor announced with dead eyes.
The door inside the viewing area of the Satans suddenly got broken into and it was as planned. Just like Serafall predicted.
"What is the meaning of this? We need to stop this rating game immediately! Satan Asmodeus, you have to! This is illegal!" Lord Glasya-Labolas begged Falbium and the bald man glared at Serafall.
"We can't, Zephrydor isn't dealt a fatal blow. And concerning the holy objects... We don't know he brought them. But if we butt in, Tiamat will get involved and heaven as well. So our hands are tied." Falbium shrugged.
Lord Glasya-Labolas gasped and he looked towards Sirzechs. "Satan Lucifer, he'll kill him! A pillar clan devil! This is outrageous!"
"Be that as it may, this is a rating game. There have been casualties in the past. And that is to be expected when you fight seriously. Not all fail-safes are perfect." Sirzechs replied coldly.
And Serafall suppressed a grin. They would definitely have a storm that will shake the underworld after this. But the middle class and lower class devils would flock to the Satans due to what will happen.
"He'll die! A high class devil that is of pure blood will be executed in public!" Lord Glasya-Labolas begged.
And they looked at Mordred's battle once again. He pinned Zephrydor's limbs again with his holy swords and the others were also ganging up on him, beating the shit out of Zephrydor as they learned what he was planning, enraging them.
Mordred then flew to the skies and he raised two golden swords. "Now, burn like the garbage you are. Zephrydor Glasya-Labolas. Witness! My blades that purge the evil of the world!"
He was having a compulsion to yell Excalibur, but he thought that was silly.
"Absolution!" Mordred swung down Excalibur and Caliburn at the same time. Releasing gold energies that threatened to swallow everything in its path.
"I'll do anything!" Lord Glasya-Labolas proposed and Sirzechs nodded at Serafall.
"Zephrydor Glasya-Labolas has retired." Serafall announced as he disappeared with his queen. Mordred's attacks then hit the ground and everything went still for a second.
Glittering lights sparkled and an explosion soon followed. Sirzechs and Ajuka had to pour in a lot of power to stabilize the dimension. And they were getting drained like an open dam due to the tremendous amounts of holy energy coming from the place.
And the media that Serafall got in her pockets manipulated the footage of the fight. Zephrydor was clearly saved by the rating game.
He hasn't received a deadly blow, even though it looked like it. And he hasn't surrendered yet, but he was suddenly teleported out.
'Thank you, Mo-kun. And hello, my nemesis. Politics and paperwork.' Serafall sighed.
"Hmph, the world would be a better place without him. Serafall should have just let me kill him." Mordred squinted his eyes.
They teleported to the waiting area that belonged to them and Sona tackled him with a hug. "Thanks Mordred, that meant a lot to me. And you were cool out there." Sona hugged him tightly.
"Cool? More like awesome! You should've definitely shouted your attack! Ex...CALIBA! Or Caliburn! Something like that." Rias got excited and Vali nodded.
"Really? Should I?" Mordred thought of shouting Excalibur's name and using other holy swords instead. Putting illusions on them so they would say; see Excalibur. But get hit by Gram.
"Ohh! That was definitely awesome! I aspire to be as strong as you!" Sairaorg gave a shining smile and a thumbs up.
"Well, that's why you guys train. Don't worry, you'll get stronger." Mordred smiled at them.
"Phew, I got tired due to trying to assume my second form. But it was worth it, I can feel it. I just need a breakthrough." Ise smiled.
"Heh, I've got one years ago." Vali huffed at her and bragged about her juggernaut drive.
Ise could definitely overpower the wills inside of the boosted gear. But her mana wasn't high enough to jump start the transformation yet.
"Kuu! Just you wait! I'll beat the shit out of you when I get super vegetare 2! And I'll dumpster you and go even further beyond with 3!" Ise glared at her.
"But Mordred, won't you get involved in politics due to this? Auntie Tiamat has been preventing you guys to be roped into this crap for years." Seekvaira groaned as she remembered all the parties she needed to attend.
"Yeah... That's going to suck, big time." Latia frowned and the heiresses didn't like the politics of the underworld at all.
"Well, let them try. My address is on the familiar forest, I'll open my doors at night. I want to see them go there, if they dare." Mordred huffed.
"I don't think that's likely... Seeing that he has Caliburn and Excalibur. And other holy swords with him." Sona sighed, he didn't tell them about his new swords.
"Yeah, that was dangerous. I could still remember Caliburn burning my skin. It pierced through my power of destruction easily. And I was miles away from the epicenter. Good thing I was filming, the cameraman never dies." Rias nodded sagely.
"Sword saint Rias can't match Mordred it seems." Sona smirked at her and Rias blushed like a tomato.
"Shut up! I already changed my username in deviltube!" Rias got embarrassed.
"How is Dark Slayer any different? Aren't you a denizen of the darkness? Being a devil and all." Seekvaira rolled her eyes.
"It's cool! And I'm trying to recreate Vergilius' dark slayer style! Hmph, it's because the only thing in your head is robots." Rias huffed and Seekvaira gasped.
Mordred chuckled as he watched them banter. Ready for the crap that the great king faction will throw at them.
