Third Person POV
An electroshock-charged projectile flew towards the Figure trying to conceal itself; Although the cloaked figure dodged the bullet, it seemed to mock him as it first hit the ground, then the wall, and ricocheted off before striking the figure
"Aaaarrrgggg!!!"
Anlarcciel, standing on the roof with an advanced rifle in her hand, lowered her weapon.
...and suddenly she lowered her head, and at the same moment a claw scurried past the face.
As she shifted her grip on the rifle, she struck the back against the stomach of the man behind her, sending it swinging wide and hitting the man's head backward.
"Ugh!"
As the man struggled to his feet, a kick to his face caused his head to hit the ground, fracturing it and rendering him unconscious.
"*Sigh* I was thinking I could comfortably try out my new shotgun here, but no, this idiot had to come and smash the end."
The more we talked, the angrier she became.
As she put a cigarette in her mouth, she sat on the fainting man she had knocked to the ground for a moment as if she were sitting on a chair.
But even while smoking, there was a tick mark that indicated her displeasure.
When she turned her head, she saw Young man who had appeared a little distance away from him.
"Ah, you R--R--something... Ranma??"
"It was Ryuu. Is it that difficult?"
Anlarcciel simply shrugged.
However, Ryuu also looked at this woman with attention; he wasn't captivated by her beauty, but rather his instinct as a martial artist told him that this woman was extremely powerful.
Finally, she sighed, stood up, and placed her rifle in the space storage shed.
"Okay little one, come and let's take care of the rest."
As she said this, her delicate hands were suddenly covered in red fur, followed by a red tail and red wolf ears on her head, and two feathery red wings emerged from her back.
"Then I will join you, if you'll allow me."
When they turned to the sound that had just arrived, there was a man in servant's attire.
He has long, straight, white hair tied into a tight ponytail that falls just below his shoulders, with a noticeably receding hairline. He also sports a lengthy white beard styled in the Imperial fashion, featuring hair along the mustache and jawline while leaving the chin bare and disconnected from the hair on his head. The beard is styled into two long pointed sections that extend to his collarbone.
"Ah, What's up Mozzy?"
'Mozzy' yelled at her with the fury of a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"How rude,Miss Anlarcciel, this is Mozart, M.O.Z.A.R.T."
"Wait, is that Mozart?"
Ryuu was stunned.
"Hello young Mr. Angel, I am Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.I am the Bishop of Lady Serafall.I am also her personal composer, songwriter, and the person who handles the main musical work for the Levia-tan show."
Mozart sang the final movement strangely more proudly; well, he was obsessed with the music after all.
"Okay, okay, you anime fanatic, praise me later. First, let's take care of this. Right now, my rifle is broken, so we need to do it the old-fashioned way."
As she said this, she suddenly jumped up at full speed
"How rude! Anime is one of the best new marketing uses for the music industry, take back what you said immediately, Miss Anlarcciel!"
He chased after her as the spread Devil Wings (which somehow reminded Ryuu of Papier-Minded).
Ryuu was surprised at first...then he ran after them with a competitive expression.
...a rather strange group had been formed.
....
Shigune was scanning the surroundings with a watchful eye.
A spatial distortion had been created between Ravel and her, separating the two.
However, Shigune showed no sign of panic or anything of the sort; she was far too experienced for that.
It must be said that Grigori truly knew something about training Sacred Gear host.
The issue wasn't just about using Sacred Gear.
"Gah!"
As Shigune's knee sank into the man's stomach, the beauty with dark golden hair, instead of stopping, grabbed him by the wrist, lifted him onto her shoulder, and slammed him to the ground, leaving the sorcerer no time to cast his spell.
The other person approaching with a spear? Their movements were simultaneously restricted by paper ropes that bound them.
Shigune hurled the talisman that appeared in her hand at the chest of the woman with the spear.
"Rai!"
As the words were spoken, Talisman was instantly enveloped in lightning, and it scorched the woman's body, accompanied by her agonizing screams.
Ranged warriors? Poh and Pon were dealing with them.
Two Taoties, one wearing a red (Poh) mask and the other a green (Pon) mask, were crushing them unilaterally.
Defense? Destroyed by Poh's teeth.
Attacks? Devoured towards Pon's mouth.
Seals and restrictions? Poo was swallowing them in Chibi form.
Of course, Shigune didn't let her guard down, especially now that biggest problem had been exposed.
....Koga appeared opposite, hands in his pockets.
".....Koga"
"Hi there Shigune, I've come to see you."
Shigune grumbled instead of answering.
"Come on, don't do this, after all, don't we have a close relationship?"
"No? I don't befriend criminals and those who harm the innocent; anything beyond that is out of the question."
"Come on, still that kid---"
Shigune didn't let him finish his sentence; Poh had already lunged at him , its mouth open, about to sink teeth into him, shattering everything in path.
The metallic bracelet on Koga's wrist suddenly glowed and covered his arm.
At the same time, a furry creature with a long, black body and a build that seemed to be a mixture of wolf and dog appeared around his body.
This one wasn't as large-bodied as the other members of the Four Fiend, but it was tall, a wolf with jet-black fur and a long, serpentine body, or perhaps a body resembling an Eastern Dragon? Yes, that seemed somewhat fitting.
As the wires snapped, it flew off his body, quickly pulling himself and Koga away.
The moment the oar parted, the giant mouth simultaneously tore through the ground... even space seemed momentarily distorted beneath its teeth.
"Thanks, Blitz"
Koga nit showed little surprise. Instead, he stroked the head of HùnDùn, a member of the Four Fiend, who was his Sacred Gear.
A black light emanated from his metallic glove, Blitz's eyes glowed red, and the wires radiating from it were also covered in a faint black shimmer.
The wires intertwined, transforming into a spear, Koga picked up and threw directly at Poh
A suction from the side pulled both the wire spear towards itself and Koga.
Pon's mouth was wide open, sucking him in like a black hole.
The only reason it didn't move was because Blitz had secured it to the ground with wires to protect himself and Koga
Giant wires that cut through the air were swept away by the furious Blitz.
Every fiber was strengthened by the effect of Koga's glove! They were even resisting Pon's sucking force!
A small figure appeared beside the giant Poo, and as Poo transformed into his giant form, he opened his mouth and swallowed the power-boosting light attached to the wires!
Blitz was ultimately a Fiend, with the other wires connected to the environment outside of Poo's power take-up, keeping himself and his host stable.
Shigune, meanwhile, was not idle; she pulled a dagger from the space storage, which appeared to be half black and half white.
Blazer Shining or Darkness Blade!!!
More of a dagger ver!!
"....Counter Balance"
The black and white forces of the dagger intertwined in an instant, and the dagger grew long enough to become a short sword.
"Take this!"
Shigune's swing sent a a lot light,In interwoven shades of white and black, high-pitched slash straight towards Koga, but it missed him; instead, it hit the ground and every wire Blitz uses for support!!!
*boom*boom*bom*Booom*
The impact, which landed directly on the ground, buildings, structures , caused Koga to be caught in the sucking as he used it to resist the suction.
His jaw was closed, Shigune had shut off the wires he was using to escape, he was being pulled directly into her mouth, he couldn't even use a boost because Poo wouldn't allow it.
The moment he tried to escape from it? Poh was ready to pounce on him.
Yes, it can be said that Shigune completely trapped him
"How cruel... Counter Balance...Si-Xiong HúnDùn Over Booster"
Koga was completely enveloped in a black light, and Blitz was absorbed into his glove.
This takes form as a lustrous black exoskeletal powered suit that possesses a bestial shape resembling that of a dog and long fur on the back of his head and a gem in the middle of his chest which is powered by the soul of HùnDùn
This time, the black wires emerged directly from his armor, coiling around his arms, the countless intertwined wires forming giant claws on both of them.
He gripped the giant jaws that were trying to swallow him from both sides, the gravitational pull constantly attempting to devour his aura while simultaneously those that had burst from the wire claws were absorbing the energy from his body.
The moment the pair reached a state of equilibrium, Koga's mane rose, two thick, intertwined whips struck Poo's back, tearing the ground beneath, and with momentum Koga leaped upwards.
Numerous wires that had sprung from his other hand intertwined and rubbed against each other.
Suddenly, the rope, which resembled the ship's latches, burst into flames.
Before the giant rope could swing, a figure darted out in front of Koga.
Shigune swung the short sword in her hand, much to Koga's surprise.
The collision between the flaming black rope and the black and white short sword sent shock waves all around.
However, Shigune retreated and moved away, but Koga's attack was successfully blocked...and he brought his giant arms together, which appeared behind him!
Poh, striking with his monstrous arms like a hammer, sent him tumbling to the ground.
*Baaaaaam!*
Koga, sprang from the smoke, dodged Poo's blow.
Numerous wires moved directly backwards toward Shigune.
As Shigune slid backward on the ground, airflow was released from her battle suit boots, propelling her forward.
She glided through the wires with athletic movements without them getting tangled; striking him with his sword would be falling into a trap.
This suit was created by Azazel himself for people who were physically weaker than most supernatural beings; the concentrated current effect provided bursts of force.
Suddenly, Pon's manifest was canceled.
As Chibi Pon remanifest next to Shigune, Shigune immediately swung her leg.
With the propulsion of the suit, Pon used Shigune's foot and lunged forward.
As Chibi's form instantly transformed back into its true form, it was about to sink its teeth into Koga when it was stopped, amidst creaking sounds, by wires that enveloped it from all sides.
As scratches were inflicted on Pon's body, he lunged forward, barely managing to stop himself even with support from surrounding structures.
Poo, in his Chibi form, leaped through the wires, opened his mouth, and swallowed the power-up before Koga could react.
At that moment, the wires snapped, and Pon's giant hand struck him, sending him hurling towards distant buildings.
As the building began to collapse, a vertical black-and-white force struck, and it exploded further as the building split in two.
Shigune raised the short sword she had swung down as she exhaled, her body weary.
As she walked, three Taotie guarded her from three sides to protect their precious Host.
Shigune stroked their heads, offering small smiles, but her gaze was fixed on the ruins. Did Koga collapse from this? She couldn't believe it.
Just as she had predicted, Koga's armored form emerged from the ruins.
"Seriously, what if I had died, Shigune?"
"It sounds like a necessary evil."
Shigune responds directly and coldly.
"You know you're going to break my heart, however..."
When Shigune turned her head, she saw a man holding a little girl with pink hair in his arms, and a knife against her neck.
Shigune's eyes widened with worry.
"You know him, right? Your so-called boyfriend must have mentioned him. If he didn't, let me introduce him. He's Zhuge Liang, and he made the mistake of passing on information that is detrimental to us...Well, we 'purged' her subordinates and captured her."
"Mmphmhp!?!??"
With her mouth bound, Zhuge Liang glared at Koga with anger and hatred.
Tears were streaming down the corners of her eyes.
"You bastard!"
Shigune didn't hesitate to use foul language.
She hurled insults directly at him.
Koga shook his head with a regretful expression.
"It's all Daniele's fault. The Shigune I knew was the school idol, kind, helpful, and shy. Those words don't suit you at all."
"I was in high school! Four years have passed, four!!!!"
"Actually, it's three years and a bit more, but anyway, what are you going to do now? Are you coming with us, or should we send her to her subordinates?"
Shigune glared at them; if stares could kill, they would have been reduced to nothing long ago.
"""Poh/Pon/Poo!!!!"""
The three Taotie growled as they dictated their refusals.
Shigune sighed.
'As Dany used to say...being a good guy or rather girl can be tiring sometimes.'
"Poh-kun, Poo-kun, Pon-kun, you need to go back now."
Even though they voiced their disapproval, Shigune's decision was final; she couldn't allow an innocent little girl to die.
As she brought the three back to her soul, she turned her gaze to Koga.
"Pleased?"
Shigune said with distress
"Quite "
As Koga raised his hand, countless black strands of hair wrapped around her body, enveloping her like a cocoon, only for a single hair pin to fall to the ground.
-----------------
Shigune slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a closed space with her hands tied.
Quickly observed the surroundings
Zhuge Liang was standing there, right next to her.
Koga was also looking at her with a slight smile, and of course, the person standing next to him...
"...So you're the traitor."
Shigune said it directly, and as for the target of her words, he shrugged slightly, the smile on his face still there as always.
"Don't you think it's a little late?"
Long Aotian responded with a slight smile; his handsome face held neither anger, hatred, nor any other emotion. No one seeing him for the first time would have imagined he would do such a thing.
"...but why, why did you feel the need to do this?"
Long Aotian didn't seem particularly surprised by the question.
On the contrary, his smile widened.
"You see, even if I didn't act, my beloved master Huánglóng was preparing to choose someone new, of course the process would take a few hundred years or so...but this was unacceptable, otherwise, Gu Zheng would have overtaken me. "
"Gu Zheng??"
Long Aotian chuckled at her surprise.
"Don't be surprised, although it pains me to say it, Gu Zheng has greater potential than me; after all, he's a purebred while I'm just a hybrid—"
"Qīnglóng's "
Long Aotian...for the first time, seemed stunned, and a hint of hatred flickered in his eyes.
"Ah...so you noticed. Not bad, but yes, I'm his bastard child.I worked so hard, I progressed so much... so I was going to teach that bastard a lesson... My power entered a period of stagnation; I guess that's the torment of being a hybrid, and unlike me, Gu Zheng, his biological son, began to catch up to me. But who knew Huánglóng wouldn't choose me, so I took matters into my own hands. "
Shigune looked directly at him, her two-colored heterochromia eyes fixed on him.
"Judging by your actions, Huánglóng was quite farsighted; it makes perfect sense that he didn't choose you, doe---"
*slap!*
A sharp sound echoed in the room.
Shigune could taste the blood flowing from her split lip, and the painful burning sensation on her cheek.
Yet she looked at him without showing any weakness.
Koga? He was actually quite calm about the slap his beloved girl received; from his Baksi perspective, it was just a slap, what was the problem as long as she didn't die?
"Do you really expect to get away with this when the others find out, Let's say you managed to escape from your own Faction. Azazel, Ajuka Beelzebub, Serafall Leviathan, Michael, Sandalphon are all here?"
Long Aotian's cold expression vanished as if it had never existed, replaced by that 'harmless' smile.
"Once my plan is implemented, there won't be any problems. As for them? They're not even gods in the mid-class, why would they cause probl—"
"Or against a Longinus user at full power"
Shigune interrupted him.
"...it might cause some problems, but do you really think I'd lose even if it was a Longinus?"
"No, I know."
They stared at each other intently.
But the answer came from Koga.
"Shigune, are you really going to keep this up? Stop playing house and pretending with that kid."
The word 'playing' echoed several times in Shigune's mind, and her eyebrow twitched.
"....playing???**Sigh* I think I need to speak directly, look, both in heart and body, and I emphasize this. PHYSICALLY. I belong completely to Daniele!!"
Shigune was practically screaming at this point, how clingy can someone be?!?!
"He...he's 3 or 4 years younger than you!!!"
Koga was still reluctant to believe it.
"What does age have to do with this!"
Shigune answered, though a little embarrassed this time.
The support came from an unexpected source.
"No, seriously, what does age have to do with it? In the supernatural world, a difference of a few hundred years is at most an interesting thing."
Yes, Long Aotian looked at Koga strangely,
"I know, what a loser, right?"
Shigune nodded directly at him.
Zhuge Liang? She was staring blankly at RomCom across from her.
"Great!!! You've thrown away your own chance of surviving this!"
"I'd rather die than be with you, a murderous, obsessive bastard who accompanies Satanael in killing innocent children!"
"...it was harsh"
The unnamed robed figure in the background said
"Anyway! Now let's get back to the main topic."
Long Aotian snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, lights appeared all around, forming a pattern, and beneath it, a magic circle formed.
Shigune suddenly felt an intense surge of energy, a pained groan escaped her lips, and her body trembled in agony.
"Do you know where we are right now? Under the biggest Dragon Vein in Hong Kong.And I just opened a crack there, which is the same Dragon Vein that my beloved master used to balance himself, and this crack opened a direct connection to it for you, of course your body can't handle it. "
At the same time, a small portion of the ropes binding Shigune's arms scatter, and Poo, Pon, and Poh manifested in their Chibi forms, But they didn't attack Long Aotian; instead, they set about devouring its life energy from three directions.
"How fascinating, how deeply Fiend of Gluttony can become attached to one person. "
"What...what are you doing!"
Shigune spoke in agony; blood was already oozing from several cracks in her skin.
Long Aotian shrugged and explained.
"As you can see, I'm not a master, I can't take as much Chi from Dragon Vein as I want, my body can't handle it, but you, or rather the three of you, can, the magic circle beneath you has 1 functions.To prevent the crack from growing,So these three little ones know they shouldn't destroy it so the sudden flow of Ki doesn't kill you, but they can't stop it either, after all, it's a continuous flow. "
Long Aotian looked scene proudly; even the great Fiend had easily fallen into his trap, of course, this was only valid given that he truly cared about Shigune.
"And the second stage...."
Long Aotian said to Koga, who shook his head coldly.
He pulled off an iron collar and threw it at Shigune.
Although the three Taotie wanted to quickly destroy the thing, they couldn't because the life force flow suddenly doubled.
The collar, still clinging to Shigune's neck, made some noises.
Long Aotian pulled down his sleeve, revealing a similar iron ring underneath.
...at the same time, a divine aura emanated from him!
"Haha...hahahahaha!!! It really worked!!"
Shigune suddenly felt the weight pressing down on her body lighten, while the Three Taotie, for some reason, no longer felt what they were eating
"Which...is...being...transferred...to...you"
Shigune murmured
"Hmm, clever girl, as I said, I can't absorb that much Chi, but what if it's been filtered by Taotie's devouring power... then things would change.The agreement with the Fallen, named Satanel, was that this Artificial Sacred Gear allows for energy transfer between two people, but only if they are very close to each other. "
"Don't forget our agreement."
Koga looked directly towards Long Aotian.
"Yes, yes, you can do whatever you want when I'm done. Rape her, or whatever you want to do, do it."
He waved his hand mockingly.
"Daniele...won't...allow...you."
Long Aotian laughed at her belief.
"He's probably being hunted by my cheap disciple little brother right now, well, it was easy to provoke him, just telling him you guys were behind it, that idiot trusts me too much."
"His... bad... reputation "
"Ah, that was pretty easy, a few setups in the background, some blackmail and a few actors, in the end I can't even bear the possibility of him being Huánglóng's heir, let alone that he's that man's son."
He said it as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Shigune gritted her teeth as she watched Long Aotian, whose aura was steadily increasing before her eyes.
The man's eyes slowly opened, his gaze turning towards the entrance, where a large, imposing figure stood.
Gu Zheng!!!
He threw the object he was holding onto the ground so everyone could see it.
... Daniele!
Blood was flowing from various parts of his body, his hair was disheveled, and he was covered in wounds and torn pieces.
"Daniele!!!!"
Shigune's eyes welled up with tears, and a cry escaped her lips.
She struggled to escape.
"So, this is your so-called prince charming, Shigune! Well, this is the consequence of trusting the wrong person!"
But Koga's words didn't reach Shigune; she trembled, her shoulders shaking, and sobs echoing, her hair covering her eyes.
"Big Brother, about this situation?"
Gu Zheng looked first at Shigune, then at Long Aotian.
"Don't worry, little brother, I've captured the enemies, now I'll dedicate the extra energy to rescuing the master, just wait, okay?"
"Yes, Big Brother"
Long Aotian was pleased, very, very pleased.
And frankly, he was arrogant.
Everything went according to plan in the end; his completely loyal, idiotic brother,because being an idiot , didn't suspect anything.
With the constant flow of Chi, he had already surpassed his limits and was going even further.
It would soon... soon reach the top!
So Long Aotian was arrogant...and this arrogance made it impossible to him from reacting when the figure of the prince on the white horse, lying in the aforementioned place, shattered like glass and was thrown at him in gold-platinum lion armor.
He looked at Daniele, who stood before him with twelve wings and a crowning halo, and at the same moment the Halberd was plunged into his right shoulder.
"You used this hand when you touched her, didn't you?"
He Swung [Regulus Nemea] to his left! And, along with Long Aotian's Divine Aura, which he used for self-protection, he tore it away!
As the atmosphere disintegrated, the bodies of the hooded figures around them were torn to pieces.
On the other side, Gu Zheng attacked Koga with his spiked club!
Shigune? The shadows beneath her suddenly came to life, and an Obsidian Lion manifested, breaking the bonds that bound her, breathing flames and glaring at those around her with pure hatred.
"What the Fuck is going on here?!"
Long Aotian cried out in anguish.
--------------
Flashback
Since Daniele was the fastest in the group, he decided to go ahead to look for Shigune.
A delicate hand tugged at the corner of his outfit.
"?"
Daniele turned his head to look, and Ravel looked at him with concern.
"Daniele-sama...be careful."
Daniele gave her a slight smile, then reached out and stroked her hair.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it quickly"
"Hmm"
Ravel's voice had lowered , and her cheeks were flushed.
"Bro, I'd appreciate it if you didn't flirt with my sister in front of me."
Riser's dry sound quickly shattered the atmosphere.
'I need to bring my tray.'
Ravel complained that she didn't currently have a tray to throw over her brother's head.
Daniele smiled helplessly, then his expression quickly turned serious.
"Riser, after you leave Ravel to rest, can you go help the others? They probably need Phenex tears. I'll pay for what you gave to the Heaven members, so don't hold back."
Money didn't matter at that moment!
Riser rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, bro... I've already credited it all to the Satans' account."
Riser proudly gave a thumbs-up.
Daniele's mouth twitched at the corner.
'So he still holds a grudge against Sirzech!'
Daniele then sighed and spread his wings.
[Regulus Nemea] reappeared in his hand.
<
<
As Daniele donned the {Regulus Armorum Rex}, his 12 golden luminous wings and sloping, crown-like halo appeared.
His arms and legs were also clad in armor.
The destructive golden aura was particularly concentrated on his armored boots.
"Then I'm leaving!"
[Accel]
He disappeared from its place with the air burst.
....
The sub-space was divided into multiple parts, so theoretically it would take a long time to find them...but that's not the case for Daniele right now.
Ajuka had created backdoors for everyone in situations like this.
Daniele was darting in and out of them at full speed.
[Accel]
He darted between sub-spaces in bursts of speed, simultaneously throwing Light Power swords at enemies.
[Can't you use Bester to find Shigune?]
"The problem is, I've tried but I can't reach her, she must be in a restricted area."
Finally, the moment he found sub-space, Poh's Aura he had smelled, ...it was a complete spectacle of destruction, and neither Shigune nor anyone else was there.
Daniele explored the surroundings using Holy Power vision .
There was still nothing that belonged to Shigune or anyone else...except for a hair clip?
The Magic circle around him had slightly intensified; it was clear the aim was to lure him here.
Daniele picked up the cherry-shaped object from the ground and examined it...then his lips curved upwards.
A familiar sound was heard when he pressed a specific point.
[Don't you think it's a little late?]
[..but why, why did you feel the need to do this?]
[You see, even if I didn't act, my beloved master Huánglóng was preparing to choose someone new, of course the process would take a few hundred years or so...but this was unacceptable, otherwise, Gu Zheng would have overtaken me. ]
Later, as the conversation continued, Long Aotian's plans and plot were revealed.
Daniele calmly turned his head; there was a figure of Gu Zheng holding a weapon.
"What do you say about this?"
He said, waving what he held in his hand, seeing Gu Zheng's disbelieving, horrified, betrayed expression... he didn't to reject it, he was a little felt sorry for him.
"T-...this is a lie..."
Gu Zheng, who had come here upon hearing his older brother's words, was astonished.
Daniele spread his wings wide.
"I swear in the name of Heaven that there is not the slightest bit of fiction in these words."
Daniele's wings were fully spread so Gu Zheng could see... his wings didn't react in the slightest.
"Now, then, let's cooperate-----"
Daniele's words were interrupted.....
*Slap!*
The silence was such that the whole area seemed to have fallen silent at that moment.
Daniele's previously unresponsive wings were now reacting violently.
Holy/Light/Destructive forces seemed to flow ceaselessly from his body.
His left eye, visible through his hair, slowly shifted to the source of the sound in his hand.
"Did he... was he just..."
His anger intensified as he spoke, his deep, predatory, vertically dark pupils gleaming and stretching.
Gu Zheng was startled; Daniele, standing before him now, gave him a feeling similar to his father.
The surrounding buildings began to slowly shake and collapse in response.
{Get a grip! We'll burn that guy to ashes when we get there, and the faster the better!}
[She's right, partner, every second you stand here means that guy gets to breathe one more time.]
Daniele finally calmed himself down while grinding his teeth.
He turned directly to Gu Zheng.
"We are cooperating."
This was neither a question nor a suggestion.
end of flashback
---------------------
Long Aotian didn't understand what was happening, but he knew one thing... he was going to die!
Daniele was already in the form of
A knuckle duster with a concentrated aura in his left hand.
[Nemean Comet]
*Boom*
A successive, intense, destructive aura inflicted wounds on his body as it hurled him away.
The blow sent Long Aotian flying out of the building, sending him soaring far away.
[I'll go first, you keep an eye on Shigune]
Daniele nodded as Regulus's body appeared beside him, its four white wings proudly spread.
*Rooooaaarrr*
He chased after it with a roar
"You're going to explain this to me, big brother!"
Gu Zheng followed him angrily.
Daniele quickly approached Shigune, who was sealed on the ground.
He didn't hesitate for a moment, he quickly examined the seal.
After watching it, it wasn't difficult to understand its general structure.
†Slip†
First, he deflected and redirected that Ki connection that was tearing Shigune apart from all sides.
He used †Switcheroo† at the same time.
Taking advantage of a momentary lapse, he and she switched places.
Even though Ki tried to connect with him from all sides, Daniele had
Poh, Poo, and Pon finally stopped at this point.
Daniele also knew he had to get rid of this crack here.
Luckily, he had a rather useful ring on his finger.
" Bester"
Bester didn't hesitate; the shadows moved towards the crack and tightened.
Daniele supported the entire process with [infusion].
On top of that, he used Medusa's eye, which was further enhanced with [Infusion].
He combined the additional Norse Magic Circles he created with Holy Power and sealed the crack.
And then?... naturally, he finally focused on his most important priority.
He tore Shigune's metal collar apart.
"Are you ok...Are there any wounds or anything?"
Daniele suddenly started circling his lover like a whirlwind.
Ki emanating from his hand supported her body from all directions.
Shigune couldn't help but giggle.
All three Taotie had approached her
She rose on her tiptoes and ended his worry with a kiss.
"Go and do what you have to do, I'll go after Koga."
".....are you sure"
"Hmm, that's my problem, and besides, I have a husband who'll rush to my aid if I need any.But I will make a compromise with Bester."
"Gowl!"
Bester accepted without hesitation.
After saying this, she kissed Daniele on the cheek and jumped onto Bester's back, heading in the direction Koga had gone
Then Daniele, focusing on Zhuge Liang, extended his hand towards her
"Let me drop you off somewhere safe first."
Zhuge Liang shook his head, tears welling up in her eyes; it had been a VERY long day for her.
------------------
China's Dragon Veins
Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Veins would essentially reside in a more unique, separate dimension; these dimensions were naturally separated, not artificial. After all, how could the life source of the world have passed through so easily?
It was an area where black and gold currents constantly flowed; even an Ultimate-Class being, let alone an ordinary person, would be affected by the evil of the world if they stayed there for too long.
With so many Gods having lived in and influenced the world, honestly, a large number of them have caused the formation of new Leylines.
Right now, a man was examining these here, accompanied by a whistle.
"The Leyline in China is generally stronger and wider than in many other places, and this is not due to natural causes, of course; there is another God behind all this, a very powerful one. .....isn't that interesting, Gods? "
Satanael turned his head and looked at Azazel and Ajuka, who were watching him.
"Oh, of course, acting as if you know our coming here."
Azazel grumbled.
"But I'm doing it anyway; I'd be disappointed if you couldn't find it."
Then his gaze lingered on them.
"Anyway, let's get back to my previous question."
Ajuka didn't hesitate to state that he agreed with him.
"Actually, yes, for example, Amaterasu-o Kami and Susanoo-o are said to have been born from the eyes of their Fathers, and there are many examples like that.Essentially, the Divine aura is the Gods imposing their will on the world... *sigh* and they call our Demonic Power a cheat.I can't help it, but sometimes I want to gouge them out and examine them."
His eyes were icy cold as he said this, as if he were talking about murdering God as commonplace as an ordinary event.
"Ah, I knew we were thinking similar things!"
Satanael laughed.
"What do you say, Ajuka, would you like to join me? Let's uncover the secrets of the Gods together and do better."
Ajuka didn't hesitate much.
"That's impossible, after all, Sirzech doesn't particularly like you. I can't be anywhere he isn't."
"*Cough*Cough* Gay!*Cough*"
Azazel's action caused both of them to roll their eyes.
"What! I'm the one being ignored here, and that's unfair!"
"So what do you want?"
Satanael suddenly looked directly into the eyes of the most powerful Fallen.
"Even now I don't understand you, Azazel, really... putting everything aside, what do you want? Ajuka Beelzebub aside, but I know you've REALLY possessed God's corpses before.Did you cut them up, even plot to destroy the temples of the gods who were actively worshipped, just to see if they would ever revival again?ıs faith tangible, can it be manipulated...and many other things, and now you're talking about peace?"
Azazel shrugged,
"I've found my purpose...to taste the pussy of every race in the world! For that, peace is essential!"
Azazel used a preachy tone, while Satanael shook his head.
"Then please go ahead and have fun."
Satanael said this to the fourth person in the room,
Neither Azazel nor Ajuka even sensed his arrival.
The appearance of a tall handsome man wearing a black coat with a long mixture of black and blond hairs as well as heterochromatic eyes where his right eye is gold and his left eye is black and he has pointed ears
Even if he wasn't doing it consciously, there was a heavy feeling of pressure emanating from him; it wasn't an aura or anything like that, it was like coming face-to-face with a tiger in the mountains.
A cold sweat trickled down Azazel's cheek.
"I had my doubts...but did you really switch sides.....Crom Cruach"
Crom didn't bother to say a word; he simply opened his mouth and unleashed a sea of fire upon them.
-----------------
Just because there was chaos downstairs didn't mean there wasn't chaos upstairs.
Everyone around couldn't believe their eyes when they suddenly saw Long Aotian writhing with his arm severed.
Behind it was a flying lion roaring.
Long Aotian knew the situation was dire, so he chose the most logical option that came to mind.
"Treason!!! The Three Bible Group has teamed up with Gu Zheng and plotted against Master Huánglóng!!! Hurry and help, my senior friends and younger brothers!!!"
Normally, in a situation like this, almost everyone suspect it was a lie, but was the credibility Long Aotian had built here for almost a thousand years a joke? Of course not!
Suddenly, beings, including the God-level entity, attacked Regulus from all directions.
Throughout history, both in the supernatural and human realms, it has been proven that while individual strength may not be enough, numerical strength can accomplish many things.
The most famous example is the Three Faction and Heavenly Dragon incident. Regulus ignored every ranged attack, flapping his wings and sending the attackers flying back. Those who engaged in close combat? Regulus couldn't kill them, or he might cause trouble for Daniele.
He instantly transformed back into human form, grabbed the fist of the snake-headed (Youkai) Demon, twisted its wrist, and threw it at those around him.
The destructive power, mixed with sound waves, that emanated from its mouth like a roar, knocked out the weaker ones.
But a number was still a number.
†Switcheroo†
He switched places with someone and appeared near Long Aotian, trying to recover and using (fake) phoenix tears.
Using its small size to its advantage, he charged straight at it quickly and nimbly.
His aura had taken the form of giant claws and covered his hands.
It was lodged directly in Long Aotian's head.
[Consider this a retaliation for that slap, you bastard!]
Without any contact, the red flames clashed with his claws.
Zhūquè!!!
The Divine Beast of the South was certainly powerful; Regulus and it retreated in an equivalent clash, unless Regulus hadn't simultaneously created golden chains and hurled them around rapidly.
Some had even become attached to those around them, naturally withdrawing and trying to resist being drawn in by it. Pa
Chains were attached to his arms and torso.
Regulus spread its wings, and wing lights flashed around its legs.
"You despicable lion--"
[Cut KFC!]
[Swift!]
Regulus used both its wings and chains to propel itself forward.
The tied-up peoples fell forward.
Regulus, instantly transforming back into his lion form, lunged forward with unparalleled speed.
Lightning was flashing all around his Claws!!!!
†Lightning Creation Magic: Thunder God's Gloves†
Now it had transformed into giant claws!
The attack [infusion] had become several times stronger.
Zhūquè was truly terrified this time; Regulus's claws had pierced the left side of his human form and advanced straight into Long Aotian.
Before it could pierce him, a green-black tortoise shell-shaped energy shield appeared.
Although a distinct sound of the shockwave was heard, they had successfully blocked the impact.
At the same time, the ground had turned to mud, and a turtle's mouth had moved to swallow it.
Regulus calmly bent its claws and, using momentum, flew away with a single flap of its wings.
When he lowered it to the ground in the distance, the person responsible for it, Xuánwǔ, was playing with his glasses.
The title of Lord of the North and the strongest defender of China... was undoubtedly well-deserved.
At the same time, the other two had arrived.
Lord of the East Qīnglóng
Lord of the West Báihǔ
"Shīzi Wáng(The Lion King)At least you should give an explanation, what's going on!"
Báihǔ retorted angrily
Regulus remained calm.
[Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me, after all, I'm technically a stranger to this, how can you compare my words to his? I'd rather take down that little shit first and then explain.]
"You're partly right, your words are completely worthless!"
Zhūqué, who had recovered completely from the flames, even down to his clothes, was the one who uttered these words.
He waved his hand, and a crimson feather flew to Long Aotian, engulfing his body in flames while completely healing him.
At the same time, Gu Zheng finally arrived at the scene.
"....Zheng'er"
Qīnglóng looked at his son
"Father! My elder brother!! Long Aotian betrayed us! He...he turned his back on our master...and it seems...he's my half-brother!"
It must be said that everyone around was astonished.
Qīnglóng, however, remained astonished.
"I already knew his identity, that's why I wanted you to train under Huánglóng...but to call your older brother a traitor---"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhūqué spoke.
"That's complete nonsense, a traitor? Who here doubts Long Aotian, is there anyone who doesn't know how pure-hearted he is, isn't he as pure as jade?! And you are here with enem, who attacking us? It's clear who the traitor is!!"
Almost everyone in the area was naturally on Zhūqué's side; after all, Long Aotian had made Gu Zheng look bad over the years.
[Like I said...fuck it! I don't care, I'm going to get that bastard's head one way or another.]
Regulus looked at Long Aotian with a pure intent to kill.
Daniele was the best partner he'd ever had...although he'd absolutely refuse to say it to his face, he was more than just a partner, he was like a troublesome little brother. And being born into a family full of awful older brothers could be considered a pleasant experience for Regulus.
And naturally he valued those girls, but that bastard had now touched her with his filthy hand... he would pay for it, either he or partner bury him here.
As the atmosphere heated up, he prepared to attack.
And..... Daniele finally enter
There was no need to know what happened afterwards; he knew everything through his connection with Regulus, his eyes covered by his hair.
They were completely disadvantaged in their surroundings, yet they showed no signs of tension or fear.
....just a cherry-shaped hair clip
And...a sound was heard.
†I invoke Queen Mab, the Dream Fairy,
Open the door and invite me into dreams†
Memories were played along with the sounds simultaneously.
The sounds stopped... disbelief... and countless emotions were intertwined.
That silence held countless emotions...and a sigh was heard.
"Ahhh~ so it was revealed so easily."
With the voice, red flames were ignited in Báihǔ and Qīnglóng!
The two divine beasts quickly fled.
But they couldn't escape the sudden attack without taking some minor damage.
"Zhūqué!!"
Disbelieving voices were heard from both of them at the same time.
The Lord of the South simply gave a contemptuous look. .
"What?? Did you think I would kiss the spot where Huánglóng stepped under the hem of his trousers, like you do? Ha! Me! Why should the proud bird of the flames, the ruler of the skies, bow down to that yellow serpent!!!"
Madness was mixed with the depths of his eyes.
Then he looked at Xuánwǔ.
"What's your choice, Old Turtle? Who are you for and who are you against?!"
Xuánwǔ looked first at Zhūqué, then at Báihǔ and Qīnglóng, and replied.
"Whoever wins"
Zhūqué laughed as if he had been expecting this.
"Oh really? As expected, your own self-interest is what matters most to you!!! Then back off!"
Xuánwǔ pushed his glasses up with a slight smile and reappeared quite far away on top of the building.
At the same time, in addition to the individuals from the magic circles belonging to the Khaos Brigade, traitors from China revealed themselves there! An internal attack.
Daniele looked conceitedly at his enemies... his lips curled upwards.
Suddenly, silvery-white doors appeared on either side and behind , their exteriors shimmering with seven colors.
" Monster Deity Door"
As Daniele whispered, two doors opened and two quadruped figures emerged.
Those who saw it, friend or foe alike, couldn't help but shudder.
Both Grey Wolves radiated power of the Low-God level, but anyone who knew them knew they were far more dangerous than that, especially if the rival was a God!
The remaining door was smaller than the other two, but inside a super-swift figure leaped and landed on his shoulder.
God-Killer Wolves! Hati and Skoll!!
Laos, the Offspring of the Sacred Beast of the Underworld!
The two God Killer Wolf rubbed itself against Daniel with a spoiled attitude, and Daniel didn't hesitate to pamper them as he stroked their heads.
Jealous Laos also gently stroked its fur with his finger.
But he couldn't do more in the current situation, unfortunately, so he decided to 'inform' his dear Familiars.
"Our prey is that long-haired shit over there, he slapped Shigune."
As soon as he finished speaking, their intention to kill and attack (Laos) from the Three Familiar, flowed like water.
Long Aotian grumbled as he looked at him.
"Do you think you can beat me right now? Even though you only caught me off guard before!"
"No, I won't defeat you, I'll kill you."
After the words, they lunged at each other, preferring to collide directly in the sky due to their combined strength.
.......
Báihǔ charged toward Zhūqué with the roar of a tiger.
The swinging of its claws created what appeared to be a five-clawed rift in space.
Qīnglóng pursued Zhūqué, who had flown away to escape the coup.
As it transformed back into its original form, the Blue Dragon, it was surrounded by Winds, Wood, and lightning.
Zhūqué also transformed into a Firebird, not to be left behind.
Unlike the other two, Báihǔ did this primarily because, in his opinion, it was easier to fight in human form.
A dragon, a bird, and a humanoid figure collided rapidly in mid-air, overshadowing the other battles in the vicinity, all but one.
Zhūqué wasn't foolish enough to be confident in his own strength, two against one? He knew he couldn't even win, which led to the deal with Satanael to the other agreement part
Zhūqué took on a human body, but this time he wielded a sword.
It was a huge, golden-red sword. Nine core formations could be seen extending from the sword tip down to the hilt. Streaks and streaks of light shot into the air as the intense golden light shone.
The swords seemed to have fused and intertwined with the fire of Zhūqué.
Artificial Sacred Gear → The Vermillion Bird's Cry
Artificial Sacred Gear created from Satanael
As for the materials...the bones of his dead relatives, well, at least they might be useful.
If you're at the level of someone like Zhūqué, even the slightest increase represents a significant improvement, and that was the case for him.
He lunged forward suddenly.
The flame across the sword turned a dark black hue.Spatial rifts opened by Báihǔ's claws clashed with scorching flames.
On the other hand, he turned around to respond to the incoming Dragon's Claw.
"Hahaha! Is this all you can do? Why don't you just submit to me? Maybe I'll treat you better."
"Big words for someone who relies on the weapons of their head."
Báihǔ mocked
"What a hypocrite"
Qīnglóng said too
At that moment, the war continued on three sides.
....
A little distance away, Xuánwǔ was watching the fight from the rooftop of the building, drinking, feeling no remorse or shame for his actions; he wanted to win, and naturally, he would side with the winner.
Of course, if it hadn't been for the sudden spear throw that hit him to the side, Xuánwǔ would have used his defensive instincts to protect himself, but the impact sent his body flying backward as well!
"Ugh...get the license plate number of the truck that hit me."
"Hmm~ I'd describe myself more as a sports car, but it's true I have a dumptruck in the back...but I guess we're not talking about the same thing."
When Xuánwǔ opened his eyes, he looked at the beautiful Fallen, who exuded unparalleled sexiness with a high-heeled shoe pressed against his chest.
"Benemune....I will not pay for this service."
"Fufu~ how cute, though it's a shame for you, I've got my eye on another cutie lately."
'Poor child!'
Although he mourned the child inwardly, his main attention was focused on the spear aimed at his chest.
The spear was made entirely of gold, but it was devoid of all other ornamentation.
Benemune noticed his watchful gaze.
"Gae Dearg~ Of course, the Replica has the ability to penetrate defenses, but since it's a Replica, it's for 3 uses.And SUPER ~~~ expensive . I used one, and it would be a waste to use the other one now."
She playfully wiggled the tip of spear.
"Now, what should we do? Should I make a stuffed turtle, or do you know what would be best for you?"
They looked at each other calmly; Xuánwǔ knew what was happening...this woman wasn't joking.
"...Troublesome"
....Another battle was rapidly unfolding in the air.
Long Aotian was in his real body this time.
It had a long, snake-like body and the head of a bull.
This was its kind, a mutated hybrid, a Azure Bull Python.
This time he was at full strength, as he hadn't been caught off guard by Daniele.
*Moooooo!!!*
Tornadoes and lightning swirled around his body.
On the other side, Daniele unleashed his Halberd, shattering them along with space.
Immediately to his left, Regulus, in human form, hovered beside Long Aotian, pointing [Eyes of Muspellheim] at him.
In addition to the magic circles, he supplemented it with [Infusion] and fired it at close range.
†Blast Fire†
The concentrated fire blast was fired.
"Arrogance!"
Long Aotian, who took the blow directly, spun around, his snake-like, flexible body moving in circular pain.
The giant tail struck Daniele, throwing him to the ground.
*Boooooommm!!!!*
The whole city felt like it was shaking.
Long Aotian cast an arrogant glance, his shoulder shrugging as he looked at the crater Regulus had emerged from... Yes, instead of Daniele?
His body instantly transformed into human form, and he avoided being impaled in head.
Even if Halberd missed, it wasn't going to stop Daniele.
A devastating Platina aura gathered in the jewel on Lion Head of chest armor.
[Lion King's Cannon]
The intense, delicate work awkwardly brushed against his shoulder.
Long Aotian responded with a wide swing and kick to his ribs.
Daniele disappeared from his spot again as he slid backward.
[Switcheroo]
Hati had switched places with Daniele, and the kick had made him grit his teeth.
"Huh!?"
A lightning bolt struck Hati from the sky, striking him and sending him flying to the ground, but his leg bore deep teeth marks, right down to the bone!
He prevented Skoll from biting his throat as he moved to the left.
As for Laos piercing it, he just mocked it, reaching out to grab it with his hand.
But things didn't go as expected.
[Resonance]
Suddenly, Daniele and Laos were enveloped in light; Laos's speed increased exponentially, and before Long Aotian could grasp it, Laos sped towards his eye, about to pierce it.
Until the aura exploding around his body pushed them all back.
The buildings collapsed under the impact, but before they hit the ground, the light spikes were impaled into each one.
Regulus, holding them, gripped them tightly and pulled them in all directions, about to slam them into the Long Aotian.
Of course, it wouldn't end there.
[Slip]
Many magic circles appeared and circularly encircled Long Aotian.
The ruins used by Regulus were rapidly slid inside the magic circle orb, Daniele used the calculations of Human magic to increase the acceleration in particular.
This was supported by Norse.
Simple logic
Rock + Friction = Meteor
The fiery artificial meteors intensified with acceleration and flew towards him.
Long Aotian let out a bull's voice, and this time, all the meteors froze.
Lightning bolts coiled around his arm, and with Long Aotian's thrust, giant lightning claws extended, scatter the sphere and grap Daniele, slamming him to the ground!!!
Hati and Skoll simultaneously had their teeth struck by lightning and shattered.
"Hmm... you're right, you really aren't a dragon, otherwise why would Tiamat's blows, who should be weaker than you, hurt more?"
Daniele deliberately used a volume loud enough for him to hear, striking a nerve in Long Aotian.
[Partner, what nonsense are you talking about?...That's clearly a bull-headed worm, what does a dragon have to do with anything?]
"What,is he Atreides or something?"
[Hmm, no, he doesn't seem that smart.]
"Because he's a hybrid?"
[Because he is a hybrid]
Long Aotian could no longer tolerate the mockery of Regulus and Daniele.
"I'll show you the Dragon!!!!"
Long Aotian ascended to the sky, once again transforming into the Azure Bull Python.
The sky reacted at the same time, becoming covered in lightning as if it were spewing hatred at it.
And the lightning struck directly into Long Aotian's massive body!
It was as if the battlefield had suddenly stopped.
*Boom*Boooom*Boom*Booooooom*Boom*Bom*Booooooom*Booom*
Under countless lightning strikes, cracks were visible in the bull's head; blood rained from the sky.
"Why don't you stop him?"
Daniele looked at Sandalphon, who had approached him and was clad in blood-stained white armor.
"Even though I maintain the upper hand, taking this guy down is actually very difficult.Therefore, I hope he will be successful."
Sandalphon:?????
As the two were talking, the sky was filled with blue light...and a dragon's roar was heard.
Previously, the giant bull-headed python was replaced by a dragon with a body covered in bright blue scales.
"So, it's about upbringing and genetic evolution... it's good that I learned this."
Daniele examined this specifically.
His current form was particularly strikingly similar to Qīnglóng.
This drew mixed reactions from both Gu Zheng and Qīnglóng.
But Long Aotian didn't care this time; the only thing that mattered was destroying that angel!
"Drop dead!!!!"
With a roar, the Dragon Aura and the Divine Aura intertwined, creating an inverted whirlwind that fell directly upon him.
Daniele looked at the approaching giant whirlwind... then at Regulus.
"Enough Dragons now?"
[*Chuckling* Oh, absolutely!]
Daniele grinned, and suddenly the attack that had fallen upon him shattered...a shiver ran down his spine, and all those associated with Dragons or Serpents felt fear.
Daniele held in his left hand a pitch-black sword with a silver cross on its hilt bearing special inscriptions.
They looked at the sword with fear!
"That-...that sword---"
"Hmm? Ah, This little boy----"
{It must be a girl.}
[Yes!]
{Yes!!}
"Well, meet my little girl, Georgius. The heiress of Samael and the beauty who's about to cut off your head."
Long Aotian knew exactly what to do the moment he saw the sword... he fled, without even looking back!It sped up even more with the wind and lightning!!!!
.....A green-and-black energy dome in the shape of a turtle shell prevented his escape.
When Daniele turned his head, he saw Benemune miles away, winking and blowing a kiss at him.
He couldn't help but chuckle
Upon Xuánwǔ's betrayal Long Aotian roared with rage!
There was nothing he could do; he had to defeat Daniele directly!
Daniele felt a flow of energy from below, and when he looked, he briefly saw a giant golden vein, where Ki was brutally attacking Long Aotian body.
All this Ki transformed into wind and lightning, enveloping his body.
And suddenly he dived down!
[This sounds like Rayquaza's Overspeed]
Daniele agreed, [ infusion] flowed directly through Georgius.
It was different from the ordinary [Infusion], the Platina lights pointing upwards from bottom to top and Georgius
The pitch-black sword was now coated in Platina, and in Long Aotian's eyes... the image of Regulus Nemea was superimposed upon it?
[Infusion]: Overwrite
Georgius was currently emitting the same wavelength as a Longinus! This was the evolved form of [Infusion].
No other infusion can be used simultaneously with this [infusion], it works directly to the core of the target and gives it the characteristics of Longinus Regulus Nemea!
Daniele swung Georgius upwards.
*Crack*
With a sound like shattering glass, the lightning and wind that enveloped Long Aotian tore it apart with force; the last thing he saw were eyes staring at him indifferently.
*Swish*
The giant body was split in two from the head down.
the pitch black miasma that spread from the liver began to engulf it.
His body was momentarily torn apart by this unique aura, and Daniele felt power transferring to Georgius.
His entire body disappears within a few seconds.
.....Long Aotian fell.
