Chapter 43: Feathers
I have confidence that today something unpleasant will happen to Issei and the others, maybe not all of them, but I'm sure Xenovia's words can make Issei angry
However, I have to do something about Kiba
Freed is no longer alive, that means Kiba's growth will get slowed
I wonder when is the right time to train him....should I threaten some fallen angel? or maybe someone from the church?
what if Kiba practice with me?
Issei also needs to train to become stronger, and I'm sure....no...I take it back what I've said, Rias will definitely reject it without hesitation
but...wait...why can I feel another holy sword in the ORC room
shouldn't there only be Destruction and Mimic?
maybe I was worrying too much, it should still be fine
*shine
huh!?
What's that?
sacred gear? sword birth? No
it shouldn't be like this!
....damn...nothing goes as I think
.
.
.
.
Kamiya ran towards the ORC and tried his best to anticipate what was happening
but on the other side....a white feather flying faster than him
.
.
.
.
Kiba and Zephyr stared at each other, like two natural enemies, both of them could already feel that neither of them was weak.
Not long after, Kiba took one of the swords from Sword Birth, then he took a stance to attack
his main goal was the holy sword
"hey...you guys...how about we calm down a bit...."
"this is interesting, let me join in this fight"
"XENOVIA!!"
Irina is overwhelmed by Xenovia and Zephyr's behavior
"Zephyr! Please! You must understand, right? dont fight and lets leave okay!? "
Zephyr remained silent and did not respond to Irina's question
"YOU TWO!"
Irina sulked and turned away, while Kiba stepped forward and tried to slash the holy sword
but Zephyr fought back with slashes
*clank
the two swords clashed many times
slash after slash,
but in a situation like this, Kiba didn't have the advantage at all
because sword birth cannot erase Rapidly's holy power
instead, Kiba's sword started to crack
Xenovia appeared from the side and tried to slash Kiba
but Issei appeared and punching the holy sword
"UGH!"
Issei was in pain because that sword was an object that could completely annihilate him in an instant
Xenovia smiled and kicked Issei in the stomach
Issei groaned and tried to get up. But Xenovia already before his eyes
Issei tries to withstand the attack that Xenovia will launch, even though he knows that his demon body will not be able to withstand the power of the holy sword
*CLANK
Issei was surprised to see Aurion blocking Xenovia's sword which even Issei couldn't hold
"Issei...just leave it to me"
"Aurion.....but-"
"let an 'unbeliever' face a 'believer'"
Issei was stunned but he couldn't do anything in front of the holy sword
feeling helpless, Issei got up and Asia immediately ran to help Issei and heal the wounds
"It's been a long time, hasn't it, Aurion?"
"Yeah...it's been a long time, Xenovia"
"...I thought you would change...it turns out you didn't, even after leaving the church"
"Haha, really? Even though I feel like I've changed since then!"
Aurion pushes Xenovia with the difference in strength
"Yes... you have indeed become stronger, but unfortunately you are collaborating with the devil."
*crack
"tch"
"and those who work with the devil..."
*crash
"can't beat me"
Aurion's sword that he took from Kiba's sword birth broke
just by adding a little strength, the demon sword broke, this proved that they would not be able to win if they faced each other head-on
Xenovia immediately tried to slash again, but Aurion caught Xenovia's leg and blasted her with demonic energy.
but instead of being injured, he only received light injuries and they didn't amount to anything
"Aurion!"
"!?"
Kiba threw one of the sword birth swords and continued fighting with Zephyr
Aurion caught the sword and charge it with his demonic power
Xenovia also charging her light power into the holy sword
and with the next slash, it was certain that an explosion would happen
.
.
.
.
Kiba and Zephyr clashed with each other in slashing
but Kiba is still less fast than Zephyr in speed
that's because Rapidly is a holy sword that increases the user's movement and attack speed
Kiba's sword was destroyed many times, but he always created a new sword
took another sword and tried to slash Zephyr from the side, but Zephyr's still able to dodge and counter attacking from bottom to top. But Kiba was still able to avoid the attack even though a strand of his hair was split
then Kiba jumped back
"For a devil you are really great"
"...shut up..."
Kiba was still angry and just wanted to destroy the holy sword
Seeing Kiba's stubbornness, Zephyr just sighed and prepared his next attack
both of them want to launch a barrage of attacks that will not stop until one of their opponents falls.
however, it seemed like Suzu's interruption was not in their predictions at all
.
.
.
.
Suzu looks at the draw given to her by Kamiya, and it turns out that the picture contains Suzu herself
She hugged it and ran back to the ORC
As Suzu walked, she heard the sound of swords, even the sound of Issei's sacred gear
Suzu started to speed up her running and finally arrived at the ORC, then she broke in by opening the door as quickly as possible
Suzu finally saw complete chaos
Sword shards everywhere, demonic and holy power scattered throughout the room
shattered and split furniture
everything was so destroyed
Suzu can see Issei being healed by Asia, and Irina who is helping Issei
while Kiba and Aurion are fighting against Xenovia and Zephyr
Suzu released her demonic power and wings to move as quickly as possible to stop this fight
Irina also started taking out her Mimic Holy Sword to stop the fight between Xenovia and Aurion
because Irina already knows that Xenovia is the one who will really damage and destroy something, therefore she is ready to bear all responsibility
But Suzu was ahead of Irina in acting
She immediately flew and created a round shield around her body to stop Aurion and Xenovia's attacks
Xenovia and Aurion were surprised to see Suzu in sight, but the attack they launched could not be stopped
like a sharp knife cutting through tofu, that was how Suzu's protector was cut
Issei who saw this couldn't move and felt hopeless, he could see every moment, but his body didn't want to listen to his desire to move, his face was very pale and scared.
likewise on the other side
Suzu already felt hopeless, her eyes were already filled with tears, her body was already shivering from the approaching energy
"Do you want to see the future?"
"huh...?"
*tic
time seemed to stop for a split second
*tic
the world began to turn gray
*tic
a white feather came in through windows
The body cannot move, but the senses still work
that was Suzu's situation who faced a figure who was like absolute power
only that figure had color in this gray world
a goddess who looks young, has white hair, gray eyes, and dressed all in white
Thirtha has arrived
