Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Peace Conference 2
•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~~•
Xander's action kept surprising them, after hearing their explanations, Rias ordered her servants to start attacking their enemies, she didn't want to stay idle when she could get a recognition in this event. Michael's subordinates also started to fight by the orders of Michael.
Only the three factions leaders were left as they were waiting for some strong enemies to arrive, how could the Brigade let only one people to fight when their enemies are the three factions itself. Sirzechs got a head ache from Xander's actions as he literally turned the whole land upside down.
Back to Xander and Vali. Vali spurted blood after Xander's attack, he could feel his body breaking from the shocks that Xander's attack gave. His whole armor also broke, even though he already lessen the damage by Dividing it 5 times, it was still too strong for him to handle. He stood up again and saw Xander standing far away from him nodding his head as if proud of his works.
Vali finally got serious as he started preparing to use one of his trump card, he never thought that he would be man-handled like this, every fight he fought was always on the win or draw because of the powers of Albion.
"Vali, are you ready?" Albion asked while looking Vali's state. "Yes, assist me Albion" Vali replied as he dashed towards Xander touched him, "Divide!" Vali felt as if his body was burning by the power that he took from Xander, he couldn't handle it all so he released some of it to his wings.
Xander didn't really dodge Vali's attempt to divide his power because he was also interested what would happen if it was divided. He was disappointed that the divided power immediately returned without any problem. He sighed when he saw the notification of the Menu giving him.
['Dividing Resistance' skill acquired!]
He immediately returned to his menu and turned off the skill as he want to taste some nice fighting. He and Vali stared at each other immediately turned into blur as they started fighting close combat. "Divide!" Albion kept saying the words in the middle of the fight, they were trying to negate Xander's powerful attacks which Xander just shrugged off. Vali also can't keep using Divide on Xander's body because he was afraid that his own body might not be able to handle the power and just explode by itself.
In their fight, Vali also started to get stronger, being a Longinus holder could make the user strong just by being influenced by their emotions. Right now Vali is overjoyed as he can finally taste the thrill of fighting strong opponents.
Vali stopped for a moment and then looked at Xander "I admit... You are very strong. Though not the strongest.. I already saw the strongest man in this world and I hope to challenge him. You will become my way towards that power" Vali said while smiling at Xander, Xander just shook his head as he knew that the person Vali is talking about is his other self.
Xander took a small stone on his storage and threw it in the air, he also used Lightning magic to fasten the speed of the stone making it a railgun. *Boom!!* An explosion resulted that action as Vali saw the stone coming towards him with mach speed. Vali was ready to dodge the stone when the moment it arrived at his face, it suddenly enlargen burrying Vali with it.
Xander also raised the weight of the stone making it heavier than the whole town itself. Xander was getting annoyed by the interferences of the magicians who kept firing beam at him, "Sonaa~ please handle this canon fodders, they're annoying" Xander said as he readied again when he saw Vali escaping from the large stone. Sona sighed when she heard his words but still complied, he stared at the sky which immediately turned black, as heavy rain started falling.
"Momo, place barrier on Rias and her peerage" Sona instructed Momo who just nodded with a smile on her face. Rias and her peerage was surprised by the barrier forming in their body, they also saw that a weird downfall is coming, they just kept fighting the magicians until they finally saw what's happening.
Everyone who was hit by the rain started to decay, it didn't even last a second before their whole body broke apart. The other magicians who saw this tried to put a magic barrier to shield from the rain, however it didn't work as the magic barrier was just riddled with holes by the rain.
After just 10 seconds, every magician died without being able to protect themselves. The tens of thousands of magician perished by the cruel rain. "So-tan~! You really became strong!" Serafall said as she hugged Sona's body who turned red from her sister's compliment.
Vali finally used Half-Dimension, he halved everything in their place, making it a simple confrontation between them. Xander smiled as they started exchanging blows again until Xander was finally bored with Vali, he raised his hands as a circle light appeared in it, he used ground shrink and appeared behind Vali, he delivered a simple punch on Vali's back but the moment the fist hit Vali's back the cracking sound appeared.
ZOOONGG~ CRACK!!
VALI felt his body getting destroyed as he fell to the ground, he couldn't raise even one of his fingers. "Vali!" Albion said concerned about his wielder's condition. Xander flew beside Vali's body and stared at him, eventually a smile appeared on his face. "You're great... Thanks for the fight" Xander then stared at a certain place. "Kuroka! I'm satisfied" Xander said then immediately walked away.
After Xander left, the whole Vali team teleported to Vali's side as Kuroka started healing Vali using Senjutsu. "Geez, that guy is really merciless, nyaa!" Kuroka complained when she saw that the battle maniac Vali couldn't even stand up because his whole body is already broken. "Ya know him, Kuroka?" Bikou asked as he saw Xander mentioning Kuroka's name.
"Yes, he's my benefactor, nyaa" Kuroka said as she started focusing on Vali's body. "That person is quite strong, I would love to fight against him" Arthur said while arranging his glasses. Le Fay just shook her head as she started reprimanding her brother not to fight against that person.
000
After a while, Vali could finally stand as "Let's go back.. it seems like there are really much more stronger fighters out there. I need to start training" Vali said as Kuroka teleported them out of the place. Other enemies also started appearing at the room where the conference was held.
One of the persons who arrived was Creuserey Asmodeus, descendant of the original Asmodeus. "Katerea, is it...done?" Creuserey stopped when he saw Katerea being played by Sona's peerage, he was enraged by what he saw "Katerea!!" He shouted while running towards Katerea's broken body.
Because of his wrath, he immediately used Ophis's snakes making his power equivalent of that the original Asmodeus. "Graaah!!! You will pay for this!" Many people might not know, but Katerea was the lover of Creuserey, that's why in the canon he challenge Azazel who killed Katerea at that time for the sake of revenge. Creuserey used many magic circle to throw some attacks at Sona's peerage, but before that happened, Sirzechs pushed Creuserey's body making it flew outside. "Hmph! And I was hoping to save So-tan~!" Serafall pouted when she saw Sirzechs taking her spot.
Creuserey stopped the momentum by spreading his wings, he flew in the air and saw a red and white magic circle appearing 10 meters infront of him. Sirzechs and Michael emerged from the magic circle making Creuserey serious. He was consumed by rage earlier that he forgot that the other leaders were still there. Although he still think that he's stronger than them, he was just at disadvantage because of the numbers.
As if Michael can read Creuserey's thoughts he talked. "The original Asmodeus's power was indeed strong... In the past that is, you should know that everyone didn't stay idle in the last 5 centuries" Michael said as he formed a light sword with his magic and slashed at Creuserey making his legs separate from his body.
Everyone should know that Michael is not really weak, he just want peace, but that does not mean he was weak. Even in the original bible, he was the one who defeated Lucifer and pushed him in hell. Someone that even Lucifer couldn't kill.. how could a mere subordinate of his defeat Michael. Creuserey screamed as he saw his legs being decapitated,
"No!.. this can't be! I already has Ophis's powers! You shouldn't be able to harm me!" He started denying everything which made the two shake their heads is pity. Sirzechs raised a hand, then a ball appeared in it. He raised the Power of Destruction as Creuserey was surrounded by a red circle. He started to scream even more when his body started collapsing by itself until he was finally erased from existence.
After doing that the two returned to the room where they saw a white haired young man with 5 demon swords hanging on his waist playing with Kiba. Kiba used his speed to run towards Siegfried and slashed him, but Siegfried merely raised on of his swords and blocked it easily.
Siegfried was disappointed by Kiba as he started to look for another swordsman. He saw Tomoe who has a katana in her hands so he sprinted towards her. Tomoe noticed Siegfried running towards her as she raised an eyebrow. She unsheathed her katana and parried Siegfried's attack making a huge explosion occur between them.
Siegfried and Tomoe was surprised by each other. Tomoe because she can see that Siegfried has a mastery to swordsmanship that is close to her. And Siegfried because Tomoe's skill is much better than his, remember that Siegfried is made using many genetics just to make a true descendant of Sigurd.
He dedicated himself to Swordsmanship because of the talent he has, he even became Arthur's rival because of his skill. He raised the bar and used a second demonic sword, they clashed with each other as the gap was getting closer.
Tomoe gritted her teeth as she can feel that Siegfried is gaining the advantage, she took a distance away from him and started calming herself. She finally found someone that can match her in terms of skill, she is going to use this experience to make herself stronger. Her dream is to reach Xander's level of swordsmanship, because even though she is already this strong, she was still being played by Xander as if her skill didn't grow. "You're quite good Miss. Even better than me and I respect you for that" Siegfried said while nodding his head. "However, because of orders you're going to die today!" Siegfried used his Sacred Gear, Twice Critical as a arm emerged from his back. His power also doubled because of that arm, he charged towards Tomoe and slashed his sword. Tomoe tried to parry the strike but was sent flying because of the power delivered by that strike was stronger than she thought.
""Tomoe!"" The other members shouted worriedly, they were about to teleport to Tomoe's place when Sona suddenly stopped them. "No... Let her be, this is an opportunity for her, just believe in her" Sona said while having a serious look on her face. The others wanted to protest at first but they digested the words that Sona said and slowly nodded their heads. This is indeed an opportunity for Tomoe, to fight against a skilled Swordsman that is stronger than her. They could only trust in her as they prayed that she wouldn't die from this fight.
Tomoe stood up slowly, she can feel her body ache from that one slash, she wiped the blood beside her mouth and stared at Siegfried seriously. "That hurt! You need to be more careful with girls you know!" Tomoe said as she finally took Xander's katana and assume a Quick Draw stance, she closed her eyes as she focused more seriously. Siegfried raised an eyebrow when he saw Tomoe doing quick draw, he raised his 3 swords and gave a challenging smile. "Release that thing!" Siegfried said while Tomoe nodded her head. "I'll give my all to this last strike" She mutter as she did a quick draw so fast that Siegfried didn't see it coming. Though because his swords was protecting him he just flew away making a loud explosion as a mountain collapsed.
Tomoe panted as she really used her everything in that one strike, she turned her head to the mountain where Siegfried was, the dust was finally removed as she saw something that made her sigh. "I guess this is my defeat huh?" Tomoe said and fainted on the spot. In the mountain Siegfried could be seen standing while wounds surrounded his whole body, he was wounded and is about to collapse but that was it, he can still fight and can finish Tomoe. He flew towards Tomoe's place where he saw her fainted while still gripping her katana tightly.
He bowed his head towards her figure and left immediately, his first objective was to distract the leaders and kill a lot of people. Though he didn't achieve the second one he was still satisfied with this result, he didn't kill Tomoe as sign of respect to her who used her everything just to defeat him. 'Tomoe huh...I'll remember that' Siegfried thought as he walked with a smile on his face.
Sona and her peerage teleported to Tomoe's side as they started treating her. Sona made some water and gave it healing properties, she submerged Tomoe inside the water and waited for her to heal. "She did her best.." Sona said while giving a proud smile towards Tomoe. "We need to evacuate the people out of this town" Sona said to her peerage as they was about to move when Xander suddenly appeared beside Sona and embraced her. "Sona~, don't worry about that" Xander said while smiling at her.
Sona was shrieked by the surprise attack of Xander but immediately composed herself. Sona heard his words as she looked at Reya who confirmed Xander's words. "Actually, when I first arrived at the meeting earlier, I made a exact replica of the whole Kuoh Town, froze the original town and tucked it in my storage" Sona finally understood what's happening, and the reason why the other leaders were quite calm by the destruction, they probably noticed the change.
Everyone gathered inside the conference room and started signing the peace treaty. Reya's eyes suddenly turned blank as everyone stared at her, "What happened to her?" Michael asked Sona while pointing at Reya who was staring at the air. "She's watching something" Sona's short explanation didn't really explained anything but Reya suddenly shouted. "Something is coming!" Sona was alerted by that as she never saw Reya being alarmed when reporting something.
They turned their heads towards the window where they saw a large monster standing while looking at them, it was grotesque because its body is formed using other person's parts. Its legs consist of thousand of arms being connected and there's a huge hole in its chest where tentacles squirms it in. There were two face in its head, the one infront and the other is in the top of its head. The eyes were empty and veins were moving in it, a part of the head were missing revealing a brain that is shrieking while releasing a weird scream.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver at the figure of the monster. "What is that.. abomination" Michael asked as he turned to Azazel who was the most knowledgable among them, he never saw something like that in his life. "I... don't know either" Azazel honestly said while having a grim look on his face. Sirzechs was wondering if he need to use his other form today, he can feel that his power were quite useless against this thing.
Irina and Xenovia were kneeling while praying to God, and Serafall was hugging Sona, she was also scared by this thing. While everyone was concerned whether the world would be destroyed today, Xander was thinking of something. 'How did Rizevim brought an Eldritch in this world of DxD?'
