Lightning and Fire given form.(DxD)

5 armored people were locked in a massive exchange of weapons causing an untold amount of destrucion, but on closer look, it was just Kurayami blocking their blows. He did not have Rebellion in his hand and was using a black sword he created from Shin's power.

Raynare and Esdeath were constantly fighting him and for the last 168 days, they spent almost all their time fighting or training. They wanted to get stronger and they were getting just that.

Both of them had gotten stronger from the number of times Kurayami left the near-death as he had a hard time holding back. Kurayami was managing to master his new form at a much better rate than he would have otherwise and he was thankful for the help. However, it resulted in his sparing partners getting terrible injuries.

Raynare charged at Kurayami again and this time Kurayami opened his mouth where a small clear fire ignited. At the sight of it, she hastily dodged with the 7 pairs of wings on her back. At this time both Esdeath and Raynare got their 7th pair of wings and yet they were still not happy that it did not mean much to Kurayami's new form.

While Kurayami blasted a wave of clear fire which burned through everything it touched even Kurayami himself, the other two people attacked with a great sword and a massive battle-ax that he blocked with his tails and swatted them away.

The one with the great sword stabbed it into the ground and roared while charged again while he ignited in fire and launched forward. This was the Black Nightmare he had named Algoroth and had become one of his sparring partners.

He had decided to stick around on the condition he could leave if he defeated Kurayami which would never happen. As for the other one, it was Rebelion who finally got her to wish to take a humanoid form, but instead of getting the wish, she wanted she just became another sparring partner.

She ran along Algoroth and both of them raised their massive weapons in the air while Raynare and Esdeath came from behind him with their weapons ready. However, he did not panic and grabbed the ax with his left hand and stopped the sword with his weapons.

As for Raynare and Esdeath, he blocked with his wings and in split second the area got scorching hot and he landed several slashes at all four of them. He slammed his sword in the ground and the armors of his four opponents were cut apart.

They all collapsed and Kuryami dispelled his armor. Unlike before he was less damaged, but he still had slight burns that were quickly healing. As for Raynare, Esdeath, Rebellion, and Algoroth they were trying to heal from the burning cuts they had all over.

Rebellion dispelled the battle-ax and her helmet joined with her armor to reveal her angry yellow eyes.

"MASTER, You need to learn how to hold back. I nearly lost an arm."

She raised her right arm that looked like it was close to falling off, but as she was connected to Kurayami it was healing at a rapid rate. Algoroth could not speak, but he was visibly angry as he was still no match for Kurayami at all. He might never be free, but Raynare and Esdeath ran their hands on the injuries they had. Raynare got cut on her right shoulder while Esdeath got a large cut on her back.

Raynare nodded. "I got to say you are just getting stronger and even the four of us still are not enough. Even though you did not use your light abilities or Rebellion."

Esdeath dispelled her armor and slumped on the ground.

"I got to agree with her Kurayami, at the rate we're going we might die."

He scratched his hair as he could barely hold back.

"Sorry, I know you would be madder if I held back."

As if on queue he got yelled at by Raynare.

"OF COURSE WE WOULD! It is not training if you go easy on us, however, we are just venting."

Ophis who was watching with Shin began to clap as she ended up enjoying watching how Kurayami fight as he was her mate. Seeing him grow in power was a good thing. She walked next to him and grabbed his arm. She tugged on his sleeve and he looked at her and he knew what she wanted.

He leaned down and kissed her quickly. She was getting clingy for whatever reason, so she asked for more kisses from him than before. Algoroth squinted his firey eyes and returned to the familiar space to heal. He always hated being reminded he was now a prisoner that he would never leave.

However in the long run he was better off being here, but his pride would forever be damaged. Rebellion stood next to Kurayami while her armor disappeared to show her black dress and she hugged his arm. while Shin sat down with Kurayami. As for Raynare and Esdeath, they squinted their eyes and looked at each other, and nodded.

They both looked at him with looked that told him they did not want to be left out and for now, he was going to be busy appeasing these girls. They had barely had any progress in their intimacy as the nightmares at this point were getting extremely bad they all were at their limit.

Even Kurayami could not take so much mental torture forever and he needed a break. However, before they left he might need to pay a visit to Azrael. He had spared with the man here before, but he was more focused on his own training.

They all began to fly toward him as he had a place he liked to train at.

"Hey Kurayami, I still have not figured out what Apollon told me was. Do you think that my grandfather is starting to date again?"

He nodded. "I have not asked but I do think so. He lasted all these years without dating after the passing of his wife, but it was bound to happen. If I had to take a guess who it might be Hestia."

Rebellion grinned. "You two got a taste in goddess or something,"

"Maybe, not like I mind what race, but knowing Azrael it was about how good her cooking was."

They all nodded and they approached where he trained. When they got there they saw that Azrael was in his death form in a Lotus position. Even he needed to train o use his death magic as it was a double-edged sword.

He opened his eyes and dispelled death magic.

"So you are ready to leave? Go ahead, I plan to stay for a while longer and will be here for a decently long time."

Raynare smiled. "Don't keep Hestia waiting."

Azreal choked on his own breath and began to have a coughing fit. He looked up to see Raynare had this cheeky smile and he knew he was busted. He raised his hands to try to get her to calm down, but she was not even mad.

"Let me explain."

"Explain, that you are an old man who is dating with a young goddess. I am so disappointed in you grandfather."

He suddenly tilted his head. "Yung? Her?"

Raynare broke out laughing and shook her head. "Sorry, I wanted to see if what Apollon told me was true. I can't believe you and Kurayami both managed to seduce a goddess that swore never to marry. How ironic you two are not father and son."

Azrael and Kurayami looked at each other and they felt it was quite true. They both grinned as they both felt they were quite charming, but their bubble was popped by Esdeath.

"Yes, two fools like peas in a pod. I can't believe dignified goddess would choose a pair of idiots like the two of you."

Kurayami felt it was odd. "Wouldn't that makes you a bigger idiot for falling for me even younger?"

Rebellion and Raynare broke out laughing at Esdeath who turned bright red.

"I never said it was a bad thing, but you two are quite dumb."

Azrael sighed. "Well yeah, I started dating the girl. Are you mad at me?"

Raynare shook her head and hugged him. "You are my last remaining family member. I would not be mad you started dating again. I never even knew my grandmother, so you are free to do as you please, although are you going to have a kid with her?"

He froze and thought about it. "Who knows, I don't think I will anytime soon. We are both old and things like this would take a long time."

They all talked a bit longer until it was time for them to leave Tartarus. When they returned to Grigori it had only been a day in the real world, but for them, it had been about half a year.

When they reappeared the girls all felt Kurayami's presence at a moment's notice and all began to meet up in his room waiting for him. Kurayami, Ophis, Raynare, Esdeath, and Rebellion all went to his room, and when he entered he was swarmed with questions.

Lavinia's eyes were glowing with interest as before he left she was coaching him with magic.

"How is your magic progress? How long did you spend down there? How was the training? Did you do anything naughty?"

"I have made considerable progress with the time dilation down their thanks to you."

Artemis looked at Rebellion and he noticed the aura was the same as his sword.

"So you finally took a human form?"

She nodded and hugged Kurayami. "At long last, I can be with my lord full time."

Akeno who saw that walked up to him and hugged his other hand.

"How long were you down there exactly big brother?"

"168 days. It was about for every hour here it was 7 days. We spent the time training and guess what, Raynare and Esdeath finally are semi super fallen angles."

Kuroka hugged him from the front and she began to purr quietly so he had Rebellion let go of his arm so he could hug her.

"Nyaa, I missed you."

He smiled and ran his hand down her silky black hair and her fluffy ears.

"I was gone only a day."

"A day too much."

Artemis looked away. "Well, I met with my brother while you were gone. He came to visit and told me that my father tried to get us to call off our marriage. I do have to say I am glad you put him in his place."

"He told me you should tell me the story of your mother, he seemed pretty sad about it."

Hearing that she got quiet and the girls felt it was a bad subject. She took a deep breath and sighed.

"Where do I start? You already know who my father is, Zeus. I may have a decent relationship with him and from time to time he acts like a decent father. Sadly that is only about 5% of the time. Anyway, my mother is the Titaness Leto."

Kurayami and the girls all got quiet and waited for her to finish.

"Well she did not want to marry Zeus as he had eaten Metis to avoid being usurped, but for whatever reason Zeus is one seductive bastard. He had an affair with my mother which resulted in me and Apollon. As you know Hera, her retribution was swift. Can't say I blame her, but she balmed the wrong person."

Kurayami nodded. "She is just another victim in Zeus's cheating, if I was the goddess of marriage and my own was a shame I would take it out on every woman he cheated with."

Artemis nodded. "Well she cursed her so she could not give birth on any land until she got to the island of Delos, and she gave birth to us. Well, we were accepted into Olympus, but our mother was not so lucky."

Kurayami and the girls all got quiet. He walked up to her and hugged her.

"Well, I knew Zeus was an asshole, but that takes the cake. Sorry, you went through that, but is it true that you killed the children of a queen?"

Artemis looked away and nodded. "I was younger and full of bloodlust. Not my proudest moment, but my mother got slandered."

Kurayami flicked her on the forehead and grinned. "I can understand, I would have done the same if someone shamed my mother, or worse. Don't tell her I told you that."

That made her smile. "Well, at least I have you to have my back. Well, I am sure my mother will love you as her son-in-law."

For the following hours, he spent time talking with all the girls about what they wanted to do for their dates in detail. He finally manage to get his bloodlust under control so he should stop being so impulsive.

He would avoid destroying cities and lucky for him Shuri would never find out as it was covered up as an earthquake. Now he could relax and train with the girls."
