Chapter 34 - The Devils Meeting.
In the underworld in the devil's territory, the four great satans were all in a meeting as what Grayfia has said was a bad sighed. Sirzehcs sat at the head seat and saw Grayfia's memories she showed them of Kurayami. "He is around Rias age and he is already a 12 winged fallen and owns two Longinus." Ajuka was shocked, to say the least. However, his researcher side was going crazy.
"So we know he has Incinerate Anthem and Canis Lycaon, two extremely strong sacred gears. He told you he came to Kuoh town as he took a random teleport circle?" Grayfia nodded. "Yes. I felt the presence of someone strong and I followed him. I saw the boy and I confronted him. He did not even take me seriously." Sirzechs had heard rumors of Grigori's newest team.
"From what we know, Grigori has three Longinus in it's hold.. The Demon Extract in a girl named Esdeath, Incinerate Anthem, and Canis Lycaon owned by the same person. Azrael the only super fallen angel has returned meaning we only own one Longinus in a way." They meant Sairaorg as he was the tamer and partial wielder of Regulus Nemea.
Leviathan stood up. "So what is their stance?" Grayfia bowed and gave her word. "The boy said Grigori is not looking for a war, however they do not fear us in case of a war. With Azrael back they have several pieces to play as a fallen he is our natural foe along with his death abilities." Falbium Asmodeus as the chief of military affairs gave his take.
"As things stand in a war Grigori holds the advantage. However, we need to know for certain they do not desire war. As for the fact of their Longinus users we do not know if they only have three. They could have more in reserve they keep hidden. However, why would they give away the existence of a new 12 winged fallen?" Leviathan gave another piece of news. "He does not hide his lineage and his name is Kurayami Himejima. He is a son of Baraqiel and a human woman from the Hiemjima clan. " They all looked over.
"The lightning of god and one of the 5 principle clans. Just our luck for talents to be born like that." Sirzechs looked over and smiled. "Well devils hold pedigree in high regard. As such sacred ger half-devil users are very rare. Just half devils are rare to start with." Leviathan stood up and smiled. "Well let us see if they really desire war. I will head over as an ambassador."
Sirzechs frowned. "You would be with Azrael, Azazel and the boy. As a devil, they are bred to kill you." She nodded. "Well in a war I would die anyway." Sirzechs looked at his wife. "Grayfia. Go with her. I will also send Souji" She bowed and both women walked out. Leviathan had a cheerful smile on her face and Grayfia was neutral. "Lady Leviathan, are you sure it is wise to do so?"
The maou looked over and smiled. "No time like the present." Back at Grigor it had been about a week since they killed the Utsusemi and Kurayami was with Tobio in the gym and he was fighting much better against Clarrise who was still schooling his ass, but his power was much higher. "Boost." Every ten seconds his power doubled and he sent it to the flames on his scythe.
Even Clarise had to be careful as a LOnginus was no joke. She trusted her spear at his heart, but he dodged to the side and swung his scythe at her, but she blocked with the shaft of her spear. She gave an extended kick at his chest and he felt the air in his lungs forced out. Ares raised his hand "Boy. Your scythe leaves your chest wide open. Use your footwork more."
Tobio's talent with the scythe was his highest however it left him wide open. Raynare saw his fighting and her next words made him feel ashamed. "You move like a snail and your skills with the scythe are as bad as Kurayami is at smiling." Kurayami looked over and was confused. "Don't I smile all the time?" Raynare scoffed. "Oh please, your smile is random and you can't smile when you want."
He was going to say she was wrong and tried to smile on command, but she was right. Shin who was now a full sized dog shook his head and Tobio went to get a drink. Baraqiel looked at Clarise and nodded. "Well done. Your mental fortitude has improved and you are no longer as rash." Annabeth finished her water and looked over. "Translation. He means you are no longer, so much of an ass." Ares broke out laughing. "Runs in the family."
Clarise scoffed and one son of Hephestus walked over. "Sir Baraiqiel." He looked over to the boy. He was 17, tall and was of african descent. "What is it Terrence?" He got the courage and asked. "Sir, may I see your sword." Baraiqle drew his sword and handed it to the demigod. He dragged his finger across the blade. "Perfect. How was it forged? What flame?"
Baraqiel explained. "Used the holy flames of Incinerate Anthem and the cursed flames of Virtra. You already met Kurayami and Raynare. Their flames are perfect for forging." He looked over and asked. "They provided the fire, but who did the forging?" From the hall rang out Azazel's voice. "That would be me." Azazel walked up to Terrnece and shook the boy's hand.
"Would you be interested in becoming one of our fogers. Swords and weapons of good make are rare and so far there is only a few who can forge great weapons like Baraqiels, Kurayami's Rebellion, Raynare's Sephits, and Esdeath's rapier." Terrence nodded. "I hold weapons in high regard and it would be my honor."
Azazel grinned. "You know, that will be one of your duty's, but join me in my sacred gear search." Terrance learned about sacred gears and like many demigods felt it was unfair they were the only halfbreeds to be unable to have them. He agreed and left with Azazel and he would become Azazel's apprentice. He still had the sacred gear Night Reflection as he was boosting it with his own shadows.
He went to leave and Akeno was having Elektra take a physical as the little dragon was now as big as a bear. Kouki was here and his best friend had been treated and had his memories of the event wiped. Most of the students had their Utsusemi removed and were mind wiped. Sae was still unconscious as Leo was much more attached to her and would be lethal to remove. However they had to recover her mind while keeping Leo fine.
Tobio went over to the doctor where a small lion the size of a boxer was on the bed keeping watch over Sae. It looked at Tobio and ignored him. Tobio took Sea's hand and sighed. "Cousin kept his word. Azazel said that treating you would be harder than the rest. You know my cousin scammed me out of my power just because it was a dog. It seems he loves beasts. I'm impressed he didn't try to take yours."
He kept talking to her while Leo looked at Tobio with an interested gaze. The lion was called a coward, but he was never a coward. Kurayami walked in the room and Leo ran to him and jumped in his arms. He stroked the lion's mane and looked at Tobio. "You know that Sae might want a normal life. That means away from you." Tobio smiled. "That would be her choice." Kurayami put down the lion and brought out a crystal.
"This is going to be embarrassing, but I got this recording that your grandmother recorded. In this context it will just be weird and make you sad, but want to hear it?" Tobio took it with shaking hands. His grandmother's voice rang out when it touched his hands. "The fact that this seal has been undone is unfortunate, but it is apparent that someone is abusing Tobio's power, or else it seems that supernatural malicious intent has been inflicted upon that child.' Tobio remembered the owner of that voice. It was the voice of his dearly beloved grandmother.
'Speaking to those who came into contact with Tobio while possessing evil intent. I have great compassion for that child and have raised him to be a gentle child. At any rate, that child...from the time of his birth he has possessed his balance breaker." Tobio was focused on her voice and felt even stupider for giving away Canis Lycaon.
He looked at Shin who could care less. "I am informing those who have approached that child possessing malicious intent. Having done this, since you have inflicted that child with evil intent, it might be nice if you were to thoroughly taste the god-slaying blade with your own body. Even your souls will be completely cut apart.
However the next line made him break out in tears." Tobio, I'm sorry. It must be harsh. It must be frightening. I ask that you please forgive me for not previously conveying the truth to you. Nevertheless, Tobio. By now, it's okay right? By now, there's no need to be afraid anymore. There's no need to cry anymore. Chant. Even if you had forgotten, by now you should have recalled it. Therefore, remember the forbidden chant of God Slaying sword."
Hearing her voice, a memory rose in Tobio's mind. A memory that had been sealed within the depths of his memory. The recording ended there and he felt even more terrible as his grandmother had told him he had a gift and he gave it away. He looked at Shin while the dog looked him in the eyes with his bright red eyes. Tobio stood up and walked up to the dog. He kneeled and placed his head on the ground. "I am sorry."
Shin looked down on him and barked. "He said it does not matter. His new wielder is better." Tobio felt his apology was wasted and he got up bright red. Shin jumped on the bed and nuged Sae and Kurayami walked up to him and stroked his head. "Nothing we can do bud." From Shin's mouth came out a small black orb and it entered Sea's head.
Tobio was shocked, but he was called down. "Calm down Tobio. Nothing is wrong and if anything Shin did you a favor." Tobio looked at his left hand from where Draig spoke. Soon Sae began to wake up and when she opened her eyes she came face to face with Leo in his tiny form. He was adorable and she stroked his fur. She looked over and also saw a big black dog.
"Why are their two animals with me?" Tobio ran over and took her hand. "SAE!." She looked at him and smiled. "Tobio." She raised her hand and he took it in his. He broke down crying and Sae dried his tears. "Don't cry." Kurayami clapped ruining the atmosphere. "That is good and all, but move out of the way." Behind Tobio was the doctor and Tobio almost had a heart attack.
"When did he get here?" The doctor walked up to Sae and used a flashlight to check her eyes. "Girl. Can you breath, feel pain, any headache." Sae was overwhelmed, but shook her head. "No." He asked her a series of questions and used some magic to scan her. Sae was watching magic and felt her entire world turn upside down more than it already was.
He walked away and looked at Kurayami. "She may have some problems long term, but right now her life is not in danger." Kurayami walked out the door and looked at Tobio. "See ya Tobio." He left and it was time for Akeno to get her sacred gear. He had gotten it as strong as he could for her. The rest all counted on her and Azazel's knowledge.
