Chương 95: Kokkabiel

Few days past, Masaru continued to get reports about what was happening in the town and from the looks of it that lunatic, Freed is still alive. Masaru could only conclude that some God is keeping him alive because it is only annoying bugs like this that keep things a bit entertaining.

"Masaru, I heard that hated crimson bitch took the Nun Diodora wanted?" Shalba asked still feeling annoyed about Diodora who threw a tantrum like a kid about losing his target, and the fact it was taken by the sister of the fake Demon lord he hates he too was furious.

"Yes, unfortunately, I was busy with Bergen job so I was too late to prevent the plan from failing," Masaru said with a fake expression of guilt, although he could not help but applause to Rias and Issei for slapping this man's face.

Shalba shook his hand when he heard what Masaru said, "Not your fault, it's these useless crows that can't do simple things, even Kokkabiel failed his mission to antagonize the Church. I thought Kokkabiel was something amazing since he was recorded in the bible, and he only managed to get the church to send two young promising exorcists without any funds or support to hunt him down which meant it completely failed, it appears the church gave up on their girls too from the looks of it"

Masaru kept quiet as he had to agree with Shalba here, from the looks of it they gave up on the girls, however, he was more curious why the church would send the holder of Durandal on such a suicide mission.

Shalba continued "Kokkabiel has moved towards Kuoh Town, he intends to strike at the two devil king sisters to draw them out. Once the Devil Kings leave the Capital City, that is when we will then launch a all assault on Lillith, the Capital City fast and take over the Military Head Quarters"

Masaru who heard this sighed, only he knew that Falbium already cleaned out the traitors silently only recently. This is why Shalba was still ignorant about his spies going silent all of the sudden as he probably interpreted as them getting ready. "I want you to head over and do a task for Qlippoth, apparently they want the Shinto Gods to be bothered and have their attention pulled to elsewhere so they can steal information about a certain dragon."

Shalba had an annoyed look, "They're quite secretive about this mission so there is no way I can find out, these bloody traitors they believe it is only us who need them, but they don't realize that they need us too!"

Shalba was calm but he was furious how these other factions were asking him to do dirty works if it wasn't for the fact he needed them to deal with the three remaining Devil Kings, he is still hellbent on finding out who was the boss of Qlippoth and see who the man is that refuses to aid him properly.

"Understood" Masaru bowed politely before leaving.

Shalba was impressed with Masaru's professionalism, the feeling was not mutual since Masaru, was getting tired. It was good news that some plans were moving forward so the Old Satan Faction will soon be forced to make their movements, that way they can deal with this group sooner.

Today's destination was the Resort town of Japan called Hakone, it was at the edge of Mount Fuji which is near one of the main shrines of the Shinto gods.

Since he only needs to attract attention he was quite interested to see a few magic tricks he discovered, there was one category spells Masaru rarely used as it was quite ruthless similar to toying with lives like the undead, it was mind magic but the darker side of it.

[Boy, are you really going to do this?]

Masaru tap his forehead with his index finger to ensure which locations he will cast this spell on to cause a big enough ruckus, "Well collateral damage can't be avoided, at least I believe the Shinto Gods will be able to deal with this"

Masaru reasoned out with himself while he was following people who were heading towards the North Entrance Fuji Sengen Shrine, although it was in the middle of the week, however, today it was still bustling full of foreigner weebs looking at the shrines with fascination.

Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine stands in a dense forest and is set off from the road by a long approach lined by stone lanterns and shaded by tall cedar trees.

[I feel a divine presence around, you will have to escape real fast if you intend to do anything]

Masaru nodded, it appears the happening in Bergen alerted the other Factions so he had to be patient before making his move, Masaru took out a few balls of Eunuch Bombs placing them in his pants as he walks around.

[This area appears to be fine but do it fast]

Masaru was using the dragon's natural senses to notify him because just a drop of mana could enter the god's detection, swiftly he began enchanting the eunuch bombs with berserk curse that will last for a while, just long enough to create a rumour that people turn into mad women when they enter the shrine.

With the preparation complete Masaru returned to the crowd looking like any other foreigner weeb going OH! or AH! as he did before, but when he entered a very large crowd that were all standing to take photos of the shrine itself Masaru dropped several bombs while using wind magic through his spellbook to increase the pace it was spreading and ensuring the subtle unique traits of his magic energy wavelength is destroyed by the book before teleporting himself away instantly.

"AHHH!!!!" Horrendous screams of many men could be heard throughout the shrine, all the women were unaffected but their scalp went numb when they saw their father, brother, boyfriend, husband, son, grandfather, all the men turning into women.

"KYAAA!!!!" When the first women shouted, that was when the people began to move madly, running for their lives.

By the time the low-class Gods arrived to investigate their shrines were desecrated by madwomen, the worst part was the fact everything was recorded by a local streamer so it was definitely going to spread like wildfire, even Gods are defeated by the strength of the Information Technology Era.

[Boy! Never do that again pffftt!!!]

Drago was laughing his arse off since Masaru was currently searching for news about the events with his phone while walking down the street and the faces of the victims who became temporary women was truly a sight to see, even for westerners to look at this screen will sound to them like a bunch of people talking machine-gun style like rapping.

'I never thought of using this here, I better not use those bombs at school anymore since I can still get away saying someone stole our recipe' Masaru began laughing at the latest photo of a wife slapping her female husband for trying to kiss her as a woman.

It did not take long for the Shinto Gods to be in disorder because of the people start to think they are cursing humans, this rumour might cause the other factions might take action against them, Masaru knew of this which was why he only hit a single shrine with enough impact to draw the attention as he was ordered.

He will just make sure to steal all the information Qlippoth had stolen when they are done with this mission, there was no way Masaru would come out empty-handed in this.

"Wel since it is a rare time to relax I am going to enjoy some hot spring" Masaru spoke as he places his phone back into his pocket heading towards the nearest hot spring inn he could relax the day in, luckily the inn he chose to stay at was not so strict about their appointment and such so he could easily book himself in a room and went straight for the hot spring.

Just simply soaking himself in the warm water was enough to wash away all the stress and fatigue he built up in a flash, he took out a note writing a few scribbles before transferring it to Sirzech with space magic, "Now this is a different kind of paradise"

[Want to go peek on the other side of the fence? I heard the treasures even Fafnir is desiring is on the other side]

"I can throw you there if you want?"

There was silence because there was no one at the other side of the fence as this dragon likes to troll Masaru often.

>\/<

"You have gotten the message from him?" Azazel just arrived to visit Sirzech about Kokkabiel's latest movements started quite earnestly.

"Yes, and it appears Kokkabiel is moving in his own interest, the people are not supporting him but using him to lure us away" Sirzech sighed, he wanted to go and protect his sister but by doing so he will leave the country vulnerable.

"If Masaru did not reassure me that his peerage is at school I would have gone regardless of how it may appear for others" Sirzech said with a serious voice,

"Yeah, as expected of the number 2 Siscon" Azazel said with an amused face, Sirzech looked at Azazel wondering about something,

"Who is #1?" Sirzech asked.

Azazel said nothing and pointed at the Magical Girl dressed Serafall busy swinging her wand around doing poses, Sirzech said nothing as well only nodded conceding the top spot to that girl. She was crazy enough to threaten heaven if they touch her sister so it was best not to antagonize her in any way.

"Also it appears the Shinto Gods will become a bit restless now that Khaos Brigade placed their eyes on them, once our peace talks are completed we can then pull them along with Norse Gods" Falbium spoke after reading the note.

"You guys are really evil villains, using your spy to push other factions to join the peace alliance" Azazel complained but he too would have done the same, it might be hypocritical to say this but it was a good result to use such schemes to make the other powers aware of Khaos Brigade and the danger it poses.

"Falbium, how are the situations at the border?" Sirzech asks Falbium who took out his assistant's report.

"So far it's quiet, abnormally so. The territories are quiet as well, Belial Territory does not even have a drop of crime there it's like the criminals vanish right after they committed a crime, I checked with Diana about this but apparently Masaru gathered 12 - 14-year-old orphans to have them trained as a local police squad, cleaners and other menial tasks most adults hate to do, in order to work for them for food, money and a place to stay." Falbium said, he was quite surprised at how efficient Masaru's plan was, it dealt with many problems at once.

Sirzech leaned back wondering if he could do the same, he turned to look at Grayfia who was behind him and she naturally understood what he wanted so she simply left. It was no secret that the number of orphans was enormous, and shaping such small jobs like cleaning or reporting a crime faster does do wonders.

"What the heck is that boy brain made of to come up with such ideas" Azazel chuckled, using orphans to do work others don't like doing.

"Shall we commence our plans then?" Everyone in the room nodded while Azazel took out a crystal to monitor the situation in Kuoh Academy.

>\/<

After returning from his mission, Masaru was confronted with a young man.

"I want you to bring Freed to me alive," a Silver-haired young man said, from the looks of it, it appears that he wanted something.

Masaru looked at him wondering why this young man wants a lunatic for. "Why?"

The young man smirked, "Shalba has the information I want, and he wants Freed"

Masaru looked at the man sceptical, "What do I get out of this? You think I'm your grunt?"

The young man nodded as he knew there was no such thing as free lunch in this world, "I will owe you a favour, remember to keep Freed alive"

Masaru sighed when he noticed the silver man used teleportation magic after he said what he had, leaving Masaru with no way to negotiate "It appears he knew he would lose if he negotiates with me, but a favour from him might prove useful"

Masaru shook his head as he walked to the office to report his completion of the mission.

>\/<

It was late at night, Masaru just teleported back at the worst possible timing ever. From the looks of it, Sona was already getting her team to set up the barrier, Rias and her peerage were in the sports field area awaiting for Kokkabiel to arrive.

"Ah! Masaru you arrived just in time" Rias spoke when she spotted Masaru who just teleported nearby, she started to explain the situation which was quite more or less what Masaru expected. With the situation much more manageable, he glanced at his surroundings as he thought for a moment.

'I have to play around with Kokabiel to get him to spill out the information so we can force Heaven to come out and sign a peace alliance, it may be hypocrisy but those stubborn birds need to realize they are in a much greater disadvantage and if it was not for Sirzech's kindness we would have ignored them instead' He thought

Masaru nodded before glancing at Rias, "I will be handling Kokkabiel, I will leave the small fries to you all"

Rias looked at him with shock as she could not understand why he wanted to face Kokkabiel alone, Masaru smiled fearlessly as he answered her doubts "I only want to experience the power of a Veteran that supposed survived the great war and even gotten his name on the bible too"

Rias knew there was no room for negotiations as Masaru was dead set on having a battle with Kokabiel, 'He's a battle junkie like my cousin!' Rias thought as she led her team further away from where Masaru was standing.

Masaru did not have to wait long when Kokabiel arrived with quite the welcome party, in the front was a young-looking black-haired man with red eyes wearing a black robe with detailed accessories.

Left behind Kokabiel was a short, bespectacled elderly man with grey hair, black eyes wearing a priest outfit. From the looks of this old man, he was probably Valper Galilei, just the look from Yuuto's face was enough for Masaru to know this old man was in charge of the Excalibur experiment.

But next to the old man was the undying cockroach, Freed Sellzen with his short white hair, red eyes and a disturbing smile on his face.

"Oya! Babyface boy is there! Oh, the hate glares make me wet!" Freed said while he wriggled his body as if he could not endure something.

Drago was silent for a while when he witnessed this before he said to Masaru [Is--- Is that--- How I sound?]

Masaru was holding his laughter, it seems Drago finally understood how it looks like when he loses control over his emotions during combat.

"Hoh oh, so you're the Wonder Child... Masaru Belial" Kokabiel looked arrogantly at Masaru, he did not notice that Masaru was quite peeved off about this title that keeps haunting him over and over again.

But Kokabiel did not care but continue "What marvellous situation, with two devil king sisters and the son of Diehuaser is definitely more than enough to restart the great war"

"Kokabiel, Originally an Angel from Fifth Heaven, currently one of the leaders of Grigori and one of the few Fallen Angels that survived the Great War. Unlike the other leaders of the Fallen Angels, You desire to continue the war but faced strong opposition from Azazel and Shemhazai which eventually resulted in your rebellion." Masaru mentioned the information he has gotten recently about him.

"You know of me?" Kokkabiel looked at him with surprise, he thought Masaru was complimenting him and he felt proud of his history.

But it came all down when Masaru nodded, "I even know that a Human even pushed you back during the second war so I am quite surprised to see how arrogant you act despite not being able to win against a human. I simply can't take someone like you seriously"

"You----" Kokabiel took a deep breath,

"I will show it to you... The true power of us Fallen Angels!" He spread his arms.

Shortly several doors emerged from the ground releasing scorching hot smoke, when the door opened several hell hounds Cereberus from Cocytus came out, seeing this sight did not even make Masaru flinch. Although Cerebus was a powerful mythical monster, but these were simply pups of the real Cereberus.

"This heart represents my pledge, with me as the gateway bring my beloved to my side" Masaru chanted his unique Kiss Prayer chant he had for himsef, it was not required of him to kiss one of the girls since he was the husband of the contract that allows him to summon the girls regardless of where they are to his side.

Shortly Masaru's entire peerage all teleported right behind him as they were prepared to meet with the enemies, each of them desired to allow their master to fight to his heart's content.

"To think that Sensei would go all out to call all of his peerage members!? You telling me that is his harem!?" Issei felt he could go crazy, just one look at the girls was enough to almost kill him with bloodloss.

Rias, however, smacked him really hard behind his head, "Don't ogle them or you want to permanently become a woman, you can look at me"

"Buchou!!!" Issei felt emotional, he also remembered the discussion he had with Saji, the two of them became good friends for suffering the same attacks from the Demon King Masaru, and the thought of becoming a woman was simply too horrific for Issei.

He immediately became motivated and serious since his Buchou said he can look at her all he wants, so if he performs well he might get to rub her breasts.

Rias and her peerage will be in charge of facing Valper and the remaining Fallen Angels Kokabiel brought along.

"Hmmm. So you even have the hateful daughter of Barakiel, I wanted to kill her back then before she became part of your peerage" Kokabiel muttered looking at Akeno

However, Akeno smiled despite being quite angry about the past because of this man. But more than that... "I have to thank you for your stupid actions which led to meet this wonderful master mine, at least I can say for an idiot like you, you did something good"

Kokabiel waved his hand ordering the hounds to face off against Masaru's peerage, "So you will be keeping me company huh?"

Masaru sent a telepathy message to Yuuto, 'Junior, throw one of your swords to me'

Yuuto did not ask why Masaru would not use his own sword, he simply nodded throwing a demonic blade he created from his sacred gear to Masaru. Masaru caught the blade getting the feel for it before coating it with his Touki and Demonic energy,

"You intend to use that weak blade against me?" Kokabiel was quite irritated ever since he arrived and now this boy was underestimating him, everything he planned and wanted to see despair was destroyed by this boy and his peerage.

"Well it depends on if you can make me draw my real blade, I want to experience it... What makes you so special to be recorded in the Bible and survive the great war" Masaru said out loud as he smiled ferociously causing the girls of his peerage to giggle, he really was enjoying himself.

"Bwahaha, of course, I survived with my power alone!" Several light magic spears appeared around Kokabiel,

However, Masaru raised his sword pointing at him, "You better not disappoint me, old man"

Soon the spears blast off towards Masaru who disappeared from his view using trackless steps, but since he was a veteran he already spotted the pathway Masaru was running so he conjured another light spear and chased towards him.

CLANG!

The sword cracked under the pressure of the light element and it was barely holding because of the touki that was acting as a barrier. Masaru raised his arms upwards with his blade pointing downwards allowing the spear to slide downwards as he leaps upwards slamming his knee into Kokabiel's chin sending him backwards several meters.

BOOM!

"Your quite good, it seems I can't hold back with you" Five pairs of black feather wings materialized behind Kokabiel as he flapped sending several steel feathers towards Masaru, yet Masaru responded instantly by pointing his palm using space magic to create several black holes sucking the feathers in before launching them back at Kokabiel.

"Oh ho? Is this the infamous grimoire you posess? It really is magnificent, only someone like me deserves to hold it" Kokabiel sends another wave of feathers to counter the incoming feathers,

Masaru smirked "This is a life and death duel old man. I was wondering though. Fallen Angels and Angels. Could it be their restricted by the number of wings? Could it be once they reach 6 pair of wings would their growth in energy capacity stops? You only have five pairs of wings but you're abnormally weak for someone who survived the great war"

"You!!!" Kokkabiel growled in rage as he unleashed even more feathers towards Masaru.

"Flash draw: Rise of dragon's wrath" Masaru muttered as he covered his blade with an intense dragon-slaying attribute which was a condensed form of Dragon's hatred, yes, the dragon-slaying attribute had a trace of dragon hatred that accumulates within the attribute with each dragon that is slain.

And Deadheart, was originally a sword that had slain Grendel, the abnormal giant dragon that wished for nothing but destruction.

With a wave of his sword, he unleashed a strong attack that simply disintegrated the feathers due to the intensity of the power.

>\/<

BOOM!

"Awuuu!!!" Cereberus cried mournfully as Stephani launched several light element spheres to take down one of its legs, Cereberus was weak against light-based magic since it lived within a world that did not have much light.

"Let's go!" Stephani placed her palms together before moving it in a circular motion before a spiralling spear made from Light-element was unleashed towards the Cereberus that was cursing its fate for facing this sadistic woman that kept hurting it instead of killing it outright.

Sakura promoted herself to knight granting her a boost in her speed while she sprinted towards the Cereberus that was focusing on Stephani, gripping her sword and her eyes focused "Tsukuba third sword: Mikadzuki"

Sakura pulled her katana from it's sheathed with her enhanced speed causing an illusionary image of a white crescent moon to materialize for an instant before the crying Cereberus stopped making noise altogether. When she slid the katana back into its sheath the head collapsed.

"Sakura, you finished it too soon! I wanted to try that Bomb Move Masaru-sama taught me!" Stephani landed on the ground complaining to Sakura, however, Sakura felt embarrassed she was a bit heated since it has been a while they fought a battle for life or death.

"Sorry?" She apologized although she felt quite excited, here she could display her techniques without holding back so naturally, she will not hold back.

Meanwhile, Everest was wrestling with Cereberus which shocked Issei to his bones when he saw this girl pick up a dog several times her size slamming it left and right like a doll. Everest covered her body with her dragon aura enhancing her body strength to several times, creating two craters on bot her sides as she slammed the Cereberus on the ground while feeling disappointed.

"What is up with this dog? The Wyrm handled this much easier" Everest spin around slamming the Cereberus in her grasp against another nearby Cereberus flying.

"Is this softball? Why am I feeling these girls are here to play" Issei mumbled as he could not comprehend what was going on around him. These girls were simply to monstrous.

"This is the peerage of Masaru, do you understand now why I said not to ogle them? Masaru might only turn you into a woman but these girls might snip it off" Rias said as she felt quite shocked at how much more powerful Masaru's peerage was compared to what she estimated, she knew his peerage trained daily since a very young age so she knew it must have taken much effort to reach this stage.

Issei shivered when he heard Rias said, "Ye-yeah! Buchou, My eyes is just for you!!!"

Yui, however, was chasing after the Cereberus who had tears in his eyes, she was shooting off Destruction bullets but smaller ones to get this dumb dog from running away. "Stop running! I almost have gotten the destruction aura around my fists correct!"

Inspired by Sirzech's style, Yui started to train her powers to cover her body with Destruction like an aura first, but Cereberus shook his head 'Stop? You're crazy! That damned stupid crow summoned me to face these crazy women!? Mama!!!'

Ichika did not join here as she immediately went out to support Sona's peerage with the Barrier, Angelica and Shirone went with her as support for in case they are under attacks as well.

Ingvild the kindest girl in the peerage, was the most efficient killer among everyone. She would send off water needles penetrating the eyes of the hounds sending them off to an early afterlife for the poor souls with no way to react as she does not have a personality to torture people, she prefers to kill them off since it was her way of showing kindness to them.

Unlike Akeno who was using shocking therapy on the hounds to satisfy her S side, since she gets her love and fills for her M side, she simply tortures her enemies who decided to disturb their night because coincidentally it was her turn to be spoiled tonight. "Fufu, don't break too soon. You have to at least know my fury in the depths of your souls before I will let you off for tonight's transgressions"

Jeanne was enjoying her new style of fighting, she was flying in the skies on a sword, like one of those books she once read together with Masaru. "Blade Blacksmith!"

Several swords conjured behind her back like wings before extending pointing towards the fallen angels in front of her that was rushing to stop her, blades flew off like arrows each time her sword made wings flap, she was imitating Kokabiel's attack to see if it was interesting or how she could improve it to incorporate it into her attacks.

"Dodge! Dodge! How the heck can devils use holy swords!" The fallen angel leader cried out as he and his team began to scatter.

Jeanne giggled "It's my sacred gear, idiot"

>\/<

"Your peerage members are monsters like you" Kokabiel spat out blood that accumulated in his mouth while glancing at the girls who were enjoying their battles in their own ways.

Sudden a burst of a red light could be seen close by as the pervert was suddenly psyched up "For the sake of allowing me to suck Buchou's breasts, go down with Dragon Shot!"

BOOM!

Masaru watches the massive beam of wasted energy kill fewer enemies than it should be capable off, he shook his head as he felt that this fool needs some more training in his ranged attacks.

'This disciple of mine is.... Huh?' Masaru thought for a moment as this red colour and Rias reminded him of a fragmented memory he pulled last year when he remembers he almost choked in his own laughter.

"You know that tit loving brat?" Kokabiel asked while coming at Masaru.

"Yep, a pervert, an idiot and he is my disciple" Masaru nodded while he was deflecting the spear of light with his sword which he covered with several layers of barriers around the blade area.

"I find him more likeable than you" Kokkabiel said with a hateful gaze

Masaru chuckled not feeling the least bit bothered to face such a gaze, "What a surprise... He appears to be easier to tolerate than you"

Masaru increased the intensity of his attacks till he could hear Valper laughing like a madman, "It's complete! The ritual to fuse the four Excaliburs into one is complete!"

When Masaru and Kokkabiel both heard this they both stopped, Masaru was waiting for this since he was recording the experiment of the Excalibur in order to create holy swords his girls could wield freely. While Kokkabiel wanted to use this sword to cause some damage.

"The only way to stop it from destroying the town is to defeat Kokabiel" Masaru heard what Valper said but knew he could handle it so there was no need to take heed to the useless warning.

"Freed use the sword" Kokabiel answered while he dodged Masaru's incoming attack, Masaru glanced at Yuuto before thinking it was best to leave it in his Junior's hands.

"Aiya my boss is so wonderful! To think I Freed will be able to wield this amazing Excalibur-chan sword! I am in ecstasy!" Freed said as he hugged the sword while licking his lips lecherously.

Yuuto looked at Valper with hatred, he bit his lips hard as he shouted "Valper, I am a survivor of the Holy Sword Project... No, I am something you killed which in turn made me reborn into a devil"

Yuuto spoke his heart, he never regretted it but he wanted to let this man know of his story before he would kill him. "Why, why would you do such a thing to us?"

Valper caresses his beard as he looked at Yuuto meaningfully, "It was my dream to wield it, the holy sword. All the stories and heroes named in history because they all wielded the holy sword was my dream and goal, but it all came crumbling down when it was made known that I could not wield it for I have no aptitude for it."

"It is because I can't wield them I became obsessed with them, I wanted to wield them so dearly that I started to research it, in creating artificial holy sword users and thanks to you all I completed it"

"Complete? You disposed of us all just because you deemed us all failures!" Yuuto screamed out, he could feel his heart was tearing when he remembered the faces of his dead friends,

"In order to wield holy swords a certain gene is required to be inside the body of the wielder which was why I pulled a large number of potential holy sword wielders to research it, but none of you possessed enough of the gene to be enabled to wield those swords. But instead, I concluded to simply extract the genes it! Not to mention those people who exiled me injects these crystalized genes into their chosen ones hahahaha! like this" Valper takes out a holy fragment which was the last of the extracted genes of Yuuto's friends.

"You're---- You're telling me you killed us for our genes!?" Kiba trembled but Valper laughed,

Valper nodded as he smiled "That's right, that's all they were worth for, after all, I used three of these on freed and this is the last one"

Freed laughed happily with a creepy smile "That's right, only I am special you know? Everyone else who tried end up dead! I feel so special!"

Yuuto lowered himself readying to strike at any moment, "I-I'll kill you!"

Valper simply kept laughing at Yuuto who was emotional "I succeeded and I will shove my results in the faces of the angels who condemned me! Here I will give you this useless thing as it is only a shadow of what it once was"

Yuuto walked like a broken doll until he reached out for the holy fragment. holding it against his chest preciously as he started to cry, "Everyone... I'm so sorry"

Yuuto cried, he could not explain the pain he was feeling looking at the crystalized genes of his friends who died so he could live, but soon the crystal gave off a light and spirits began to materialized around Yuuto which was the children that endured the hardship of the experiments in the name of God.

"Everyone--- I ---- I always wondered if it was alright... Being the only one alive. There were children with more dreams than me, children with more talent than me and even children younger than me" Yuuto was crying his heart out, the spirits were looking at him smiling but Yuuto kept crying, his heart could no longer endure it.

But one of the spirits gave him a hug, "It's fine now, so live"

Yuuto shook visibly at her warm words, he could not help but still wonder if he was worth it... To live

"We might not be able to do anything alone"

"But together we can"

"We've accepted the Holy sword nor are we afraid of anything"

"Even if there isn't a God that is watching over us"

"Our hearts will always be..."

""""""""ONE""""""""

The children spoke with smiles towards Yuuto singing a warm feeling song. Suddenly his body burst off a strong light before dimming, Yuuto looked at the sword in Freed's hands, many emotions came to him as he was not certain how to handle this.

"I now exist as a Devil... This is what both I and my master wish for But I will never forget my hatred for the holy sword nor the regrets of my fallen friends" He felt his rage was calmly giving him strength.

"But now I have friends, friends who have my back so I can carry on living for their sake and for my own... But you Valper Galilei needs to die" Yuuto said with a determined look,

"Hmpf! In research, sacrifices are always necessary for progress, that's all there is to it" Valper calmly responded to Yuuto's taunts causing the latter to feel his rage wanting to go on a rampage but he kept himself from losing it.

"HAHAHA, what is with the waterworks!? So you had a heart-to-heart with some ghosts? Who cares!? It's a friggin joke" Freed said as he laughed hysterically

Yuuto did not respond as light element gathered at his right hand and demonic energy on his left, slowly he brought then together "Sword Birth: Balance Breaker - Sword of the Betrayer!"

>\/<

Meanwhile, Masaru was increasing the intensity of his attacks. The moment he felt the sensation of someone reaching Balance breaker state he knew it was time to push forward and force this crow to do his part.

He could faintly hear a dragon voice spoke [He reached it] soon Yuuto's body burst out a ray of light revealing a new sword. After Yuuto defeated Freed, Masaru could hear Valper going nuts "How is it possible!? Holy Demonic!? No... Unless it means that God is---"

But before Valper could finish his sentence he was killed by one of Kokabiel's light spears leaving an opening for Masaru to puncture his stomach with the sword breaking it in the process.

"Guah!" Kokabiel coughs out blood as he crashes into the ground, he glared at Masaru but when he looked at the Nun and Exorcist Xenovia a meaningful smile formed on his lips.

"To think Valper would realize the non-existence of God" These words of his caused the entire surrounding to be silent, Xenovia denied it and Asia cried.

"So what?" Masaru spoke as he landed not far from him on the ground.

"huh?" Kokabiel intended to break the will of the weaker ones to create an opening but he did not expect Masaru not to care, well Masaru really did not care.

"What you surprised I am not shocked about the fact God is dead? Don't you get it? The reason I don't care about the non-existence of God is that the world is still moving. Even without the old Satans and God. It means even if I kill you the world will continue to move forward, it's that simple otherwise all the angels that are living even now would have all committed suicide since their pillar was gone. But unfortunately, I can't kill you as it will give you what you want and not only that, I have a job to complete"

Masaru used earthen steps to instantly cover a large distance rushing towards Kokkabiel, with his right fist he slammed it into Kokkabiel's solar plexus with enough force to sent Kokkabiel blasting off into the ground.

BOOM!

The school grounds shook heavily under the impact of Kokkabiel's crash, even a large portion of the sports ground disappeared leaving behind a crater with Kokkabiel in the cente of it. This sudden increase in strength shocked everyone including Kokabiel.

Masaru honestly wanted to learn some techniques or know why this man was recorded in the bible, but it was simply pointless. Masaru was not sure who did it, but someone sealed this man's true power as a leader of the fallen angel on purpose.

"Sleep" Masaru spoke as he invokes mind magic forcing Kokabiel to fall asleep, he extends his hand towards the knocked out freed pulling him using a teleportation spell to bring him into his grasp.

"Ingvild" Ingvild who was finished teleported next to Masaru, Ingvild obediently came to his side as she smiled.

"Take charge of the girls and help Sona with fixing things up, I will have to leave for a short while." Masaru said with a wry smile.

Rias and the rest wanted ask him questions about his current actions but Masaru was already gone with Kokabiel and Freed whom Vali needed to make a deal with Shalba for information.

'With this, the news of God death has been openly declared so the peace talks will have to start. I am getting tired of Shalba' Masaru thought

'I wonder what I can demand of that white lizard for making me do something he was meant to do in the first place' a smile appeared on his face as he considered giving some difficult work for Vali to do for him.

"Is it true?" Xenovia spoke still hoping to hold on the last string of her hope.

Akeno looked at her with pity "It's true, unfortunately. Kiba's sword is the exact proof of it because the Existence of Holy and Demonic Energy can't be mixed together because that man would not have allowed it if he was still alive"

'I wonder where Masaru-sama went off to' Akeno thought as she looked at the night sky that appeared more lonely than usual.

"You owe me big time for this Old man" Masaru spoke leaning against the couch with Azazel sitting opposite of him.

"And it seems White Lizard is here today, angry I prevented you from meeting your fated Rival?"Masaru mocked the sacred gear, since he knew Albion was sensitive to being called a lizard.

[You bastard! Calling me a lizard is just!]

"Calm down Albion, when are you going to learn that he will not stop with it?" Vali said with a frown, he was not sure how to handle this situation.

Azazel chuckled, "Now then, the next phase has been implemented now even Heaven has no choice but to join since the news of their Dead God has reached other factions so they will have to team up if they don't want to get exterminated"

"Although it is cruel, yeah... The ones who will attack the peace talks will definitely be Katerea, unlike Shalba and Creserey who is quite patient, she will be impatient so be ready to face Devils and Magicians" Masaru spoke nonchalantly, he was not worried one bit about Vali since that Battle Junkie is not loyal to Khaos Brigade even when he was a part of it.

"I can guess as much" Azazel sighed

"Well I will be leaving, can't stay too long gone from my girls or it will get troublesome as I am certain she is being pestered about the news of the dead man" Masaru waved before he disappeared from the room.

"Sirzech, I would like to propose a peace alliance" Michael contacted Sirzech through a magic circle.

Sirzech smiled happily "You know we were planning to invite you for the exact thing, we are placed in a tight spot since the story came out"

Michael asked shortly afterwards, "Will the Fallen Angels join?"

Sirzech nodded, "Yes, Azazel was the first to approach with Peace Talks"

"I see"
