"The Excalibur I hold is "Excalibur Destruction". It's one of the 7 holy-swords that were created. The Catholic Church is in control of it."
"Ahhh so that's why that sword manage to shatter the blade of my kunai easily!" Naruto nodded his head, not only they had separated Excalibur, they also made each of the seven Excalibur held a power of the original.
"Mine is "Excalibur Mimic". I can change its shape into anything I want so it's easy to carry around. Just like this, each "Excalibur" has its unique ability. This one is in the possession of the Protestant Church." The cloth that Irina was holding began to move as if it was alive, and the shape of the katana that the chestnut haired girl used to attack Naruto transformed. The blond chucked when she said it with so much pride in her voice, this sword definitely held the power that could take any shape the welder wanted.
"Irina… There's no reason to tell these devils the ability of Excalibur, is there?" Xenovia looked at her friend.
"Ara Xenovia. Even if they are devils we still have to form a trustworthy relationship with them in this situation. Also, even if my sword's ability is revealed, I won't fall behind all the devils here…. Uh, well, except for Naruto-senpai!" She chuckled nervously, it was the truth, even if she mastered all the power of Excalibur, she really doubt that she hold a candle against him. Griselda had told them that Naruto's power was above Dulio at his fullest, the current strongest exorcist.
Naruto shook his head and glanced at Kiba. He was glaring at the Excaliburs that the two women held, in fact he was looking in it with so much hatred that surprised Naruto greatly. Yet he knew that he couldn't blame the Knight at all, Naruto would be exactly like him if he was in the same shoe as Kiba, who holds a grudge against Excalibur. Kiba probably never thought that he would encounter the Excaliburs here, and now it was right here in front of him the boy must have been going crazy.
He would need to control this situation before a battle could break out
"…So what does the stolen Excaliburs have to do with this country located in the east of the World?" Rias continued to talk with the same attitude. She knew she needed to be strong and wasn't backing down even if the person in front of her was an Excalibur user. It was different than the last time, Naruto was right beside her, and she wanted him to know that she had grown up and became stronger than before, she wants him to see that she could held her ground in a situation like this.
"The Catholic Church was in possession of two Excaliburs including mine. The Protestant Church also had two. Also in the Eastern Orthodox Church there were two as well. The last one went missing in the previous war between God, devils, and fallen-angels. One Excalibur was stolen from each Church. The ones that stole them escaped to Japan, and brought them to this town."
Talking about Japan, Naruto always wondered of all the places in the world why is it had to be Japan who always gets in trouble that includes super naturals, it was as if it had a magnet that attracts trouble here.
"It's looks like my territory is full of incidents. So who stole the Excaliburs?" Rias asked with a frown
"The ones that stole them were the Grigori."
Naruto's and everyone's eyes widened in surprise at the answer. Looks like Naruto needed to talk with Azazel about this when he got home, if the Grigori was responsible for this, then it could be self-acted like Raynare and her crew. But Naruto had made sure that the carefree boss of Grigori controlled his Fallen Angels better this time, and Azazel himself couldn't be the one that stole the sword. Baraqiel or Shemazai wouldn't either. So there only one person he could think off behind this accident.
"The holy-swords were taken by the fallen-angel organization? It's not a matter of mistake. But certainly it would be the fallen-angels when it comes to stealing them. For the devils working at the top, holy-swords does not give them much interest."
"We know the main culprit who stole the Excaliburs, one of the leaders of Grigori, Kokabiel."
Bingo, Naruto thought to himself, that crazy Fallen Angel was definitely behind all this.
It's looked like a huge battle was coming if someone like him was here. Naruto just hoped that there wouldn't be deep meaning behind all this. The blond looked at Akeno, the daughter of Barakiel was gripping the tray in her hands tightly, when it came to Fallen Angels, she was always like this. Naruto better find someway to clear the grudge between her and her father, or else her hatred toward Fallen Angels could clouded her better judgment which might tempt her to do something drastic which could hurt herself afterwards.
"Kokabiel… One of the leaders of the fallen-angels that survived the previous wars since ancient times… I never expected to hear the name of the one that appears in the Bible." Rias also smirked at the name.
"We sent priests and exorcists, to this town secretly but they kept getting killed." Xenovia said with a sad face, but instantly returned to her normal calm and emotionless one "Our request… No. Our order is to not to have any devils intrude in the battle between us and the fallen-angels for the Excalibur. In other words, we came here to tell you not to interfere with this incident."
Rias's eyes changed after hearing the way Xenovia talked.
"Such manner behind that speech of you Xenovia-san. Is it restraint? Are you thinking that we might collaborate with those fallen-angels? Perhaps that we might team up with them to do something about Excalibur?"
"The headquarters think that it might not be impossible."
Rias was quite angry, an enemy comes all the way to her territory then told her not to be involved and not to butt in. They also said whatever they wanted to by saying that they would not forgive them if they formed an alliance with the fallen-angels. Rias's pride as a high-class devil wouldn't allow her to keep quiet about it.
