Chapter 41: Longinus Class Sacred Gears
<MC POV>
"So, What are you doing here this generation, Time Emperor?"
'This clears my doubt that there were previous owners of Zaphkiel.'
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking anything?"
"My bad, I am Azazel, Governor General of Grigori."
"I am Kaede Kanzaki, this generation's Time Emperor and current disciple of Scathach."
With that single name, Azazel was shocked but calmed down faster.
Suddenly, the spatial barrier isolated both of them, which made people outside the barrier ignore the area inside the barrier.
"How can you prove that you are Scathach's disciple?"
Kaede pulls out a Crimson Spear from a space ripple and holds it in my hand.
"Does that prove my identity?"
"Yes. Can I know the reason for your presence?"
"I just came for fun."
Azazel stared at me with a disbelieving look. Was he always this cautious around anyone?
"Oh, I remember. Can I get every piece of information related to Sacred Gear from you?"
Azazel has higher potential threatens every character's life, but because of his love for research and technology, he loves a peaceful atmosphere. And the only reason he is dangerous is that he is too smart and has more information from the rest of the supernatural world. And I asked him about every piece of sacred gear data because I didn't want him to find out that I knew about a particular Sacred gear holder.
"I can lend it, but it will be more troublesome to find the whole data."
"Then, just tell me all about Longinus-class Sacred gear and some unique and rare sacred gear."
"Okay, but I need some price for information; it is a complete fair trade."
"How about I owe you one request, and you can request me something related to any mission or something like that that is under a reasonable price? And here is my email ID; don't try to track it." I gave him the email, which I made especially for invading private networks.
"Okay, here our deal is sealed. I will start with Longinus sacred gear. There are a total of 20 Longinus class Sacred gears, namely True Longinus, Zenith Tempest, Annihilation Maker, Dimension Lost, Zaphkiel, Boosted Gear, Divine Dividing, Void Rift, Regulus Nemea, Canis Lycaon, Crystal Feather, Sephiroth Grail, Brave Heart, Singer's Melody, Delusion Starfall, Incinerate Anthem, Absolute Demise, Innovate Clear, Telos Karma, and Raven's Wing ...................."

"Was she the threat you were talking about?"
"Baraqiel, don't underestimate her. This girl has the same spear that was given to Scathach's greatest disciple, and it is also said that it was made by Scathach herself with many runes and is compared to Gungnir."
"I know that she is Scathach's disciple, but that's it."
"Baraqiel, did you see her shadow?"
"What's with her shadow?"
"She brought a few thousand shadow monsters in her shadow; I can feel that almost every eye is staring at me from the shadow. Not only that, she even has the same crimson eye as Scathach, which tells us that there is more to their relationship. And more than that, she was staring in a certain direction; I suppose she already knows Hakuryuukou is here."

<MC POV>
I have already returned to my home, and the only important information I got was about seven new longinus other than Canon.
First, Raven's Wing is an independent type of sacred gear with the sealed spirit of Raven and the divine beast of Crow, and it has abilities to absorb the energy of opponents and boost every stat of the user, just like Boosted Gear, but it depends on the energy absorbed from the opponent. Its main advantage is that it can devour space-time like Rashomon from the Stray Dog series.
Next, Delusion Starfall impressed me because of its all-around capability. It is a bow-type creation sacred gear for which you can create your imaginary arrows to shoot. For example, you can add the Dragon Slayer attribute to arrows or something like that. And it is almost like Annihilation Maker, other than creating imaginary arrows instead of any imaginary monsters.
Then comes the Singer's Melody, the strongest support type of sacred gear, which gives several Buff and Debuff effects when saying certain chants. And this Sacred gear doesn't have any specific form. And it is said that Sirens are the inspiration behind this Sacred Gear. And it has another skill that can control any weak-willed person, just like Miku Izayoi.
Next is Brave Saviour, another Sacred Gear without any specific shape. And it creates a shield anywhere at the user's command and can resist stronger attacks with stronger willpower. And can also reflect the attack the user resisted against the opponent.
Crystal Feather, a battle fan-type Sacred Gear that provides higher control in Wind and Vibration Manipulation with less effort, is almost like an incomplete version of Zenith Tempest. And it has a crystal peacock divine beast sealed in it, which might have some unimaginable attributes. And even the nemesis of the Singer's Melody.
And then, Aqua's Sacred Gear, Void Rift. A space-and-state-change type of sacred gear with Space Dragon Galaxion sealed in it. And just like Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing, it gives the Rift attribute, which decreases the strength difference between user and opponent according to the greater strength the opponent has than the user. And every 10 seconds, the gap between them keeps closing up until it reaches the user's limits or the user's and the opponent's strength become the same. And another attribute it has is 'Hit', just like Draig has penetrate and Albion has reflect. The hit attribute gives a 100% success rate that it will hit its target.
And finally, Zaphkiel Space-Time-based Sacred Gear. And there are the fewest wielders because of a strict requirement that no one knows about. And it is the most bugged and trickiest Sacred Gear. And most Dangerous because every wielder who unlocked Balance Breaker later disappeared due to an unknown reason, so this sacred gear is even called the Cursed gear, as no one till now has been able to discover all its limits. So it is called the weakest of the Longinus because no one has ever witnessed its balance-breaker.
After a few days,
Now I am training Aqua to increase his physical limit and teaching him about his Sacred Gear. And about Ruby, I took her to the Zoo with Aya, whom my mom just thinks of as a normal caretaker. And by bringing Ruby here, I made her interact with animals and know about them herself, so that the friendship between her and animals increases. And other than that, we brought a white cat of the Ragdoll breed and named it Michael. I hope Michael doesn't find this cat. And so on, with some shopping and stuff, our outing ended.
I can see that Aqua is a little hesitant about something now, so I approached him and asked for it.
"Hey Aqua, Is there something wrong?"
"Nah, It's okay." *THUMP* I gave him a karate chop.
"Shit, remember, it's my responsibility to solve my siblings problems."
"Ahh, I feel frustrated that I don't have that much talent for magic or fighting, and I just got my only hope, sacred gear, which I can't even use without consequences."
"Well, let me tell you one thing: the thing that makes one stronger is not talent, but hard work, determination, and the opportunity to become stronger. Hard work, you have it; opportunity is already in your hand; but determination, it's your problem; ask yourself, What do you want to do with your power?"
"What is your determination?"
"My goal is to be the strongest to protect everything for which I have greed."
"I thought you would say something like justice or goodness."
"Nah, I hate justice freaks."
"That was too honest. Anyway, would I have to face those white and red dragon emperors?"
"About Red, forget him and make sure never to let Ruby meet him. And about White, be careful; he will stick behind your butt."
"And be careful of any red hair, except your little crush, who can lick a lying snitch."
"IT WAS FLICK A CRYING SWITCH."
"So you accept that she is your little crush."
"That was not funny; you know I am already an old man in a boy's body." *THUMP* I gave him another karate chop.
"That's where you are wrong. Do you know what reincarnation means? An infinite cycle of life and death, the end is a new beginning, and a new beginning has its end. Forget everything about your past life, and don't regret what you have done in it. This is your new life—a new beginning, a new journey—where you don't repeat those same mistakes or anything. I suppose your hesitation about past lives is stopping you from getting a new determination. I can only suggest, but you have to make your own decision. I think I talked too much."
"Thank you, Nee-San."
I truly am a hypocrite. At first, I thought about using both of their past relationships to increase their dependence, but now I am telling them to forget about everything. I also sensed that Ruby was eavesdropping on our conversation. Anyway, my only goal was to make our sibling relationship stronger.
As I went to sleep in my room, I was alerted by someone's aura. As I peeked through the window, a letter fell on my hand with many black feathers around the window, and I spotted a crow flying far away from here. After reading the letter, I knew one thing: our family is exposed to the supernatural world. After all, Shinto gods have learned about me and Aqua being Sacred Gear holders and Ruby having higher magic potential. And they have invited three of us to meet them in Kyoto.
Was that same crow spying over us for many days? There was not any crow-related character in the DXD, and it cannot be sacred gear because sacred gear has a unique aura. I have really messed up, but I already have a backup plan.
