Chapter 36: Final Showdown

We jump into battle as the army charges us head on with all 1 thousand of them.

"Caster, you take left, Danzo, you take right"

"Yes!!" They both say in unison.

I took my sword out and jump towards the first enemies. The first one swings and misses, I counter and slash into his back. The next one attempts as well, same result. Two came up towards me with the same over the top attack. I block their swing sending them back and slash their stomach open as they drop down. More come towards me as I take in a deep breath.

Erebus.

On it.

I let Erebus take over my body as I conjure up an ultimate attack.

Caster and Danzo won't be affected by the big one, am I correct?

No, they are heroic spirits, yours at that. They won't be affected by it. Anyone you deem an ally will not feel the attack... theoretically.

Release the toxin.

"Kyoki No Sekai!!!"

A large mist is released surrounding 25 percent of the enemy troops, instantly dropping them as they scream in pain. The rest of the troops can't help but listen to their comrades pain as they are silenced after a minute. Out from the mist a dark figure in armor pops out, jamming it's sword through the chest of a soldier. As it rises up, it takes the heart of the fallen soldier and crushes it.

"Now, which one of you dares be the first one to attack, I shall give you a quick death for being wise enough to accept it, the rest will be brutally murdered by my hand"

Out of the hundreds of soldiers pointing their weapons at me, one man walks up to me, dropping his weapon and kneels down.

"What are you doing?! Get back here!!"

"Wise child, I shall honor my word"

I put a hand on his forehead and close my eyes.

"Sleep"

The body falls to the ground, lifeless.

"Now.. I shall kill you with no mercy"

I start walking towards them as I drag my sword on the ground.

"Accept your fate and charge at me, make your death faster"

They slowly start making their way towards me.

Young Master, Is the spell complete?

Give me bit more time.

Between the 3 of us, we've eliminated about 35 percent of the enemies. With that spell, we will wipe out the rest in an instant. Although, that weapon that should be damaging us hasn't been shown.

I don't get it either... could it be.

Perhaps it isn't finished yet.

Then why would they send their army this way if the weapon wasn't ready.

Could this possibly just be a bait.. could the weapon be finished and they are simply waiting for the right time to use it?

Don't let your guard down, I'm going to expand the radius of the attack.

Very well.

Erebus continues slaughtering the enemy until he feels a little pain in the back. He looks down to see a glowing sword going through him. He turns around and sees a man in purple with a long sword in front of him.

"I'll be your opponent now demon"

"Very well, I'll give you the honor of knowing you're the only person to have been able to actually injure me in combat, what is your name?"

"Kojiro and yours"

"Erebus, now.. Let us battle swordsman!!"

They charge each other and seem to be on par. Each strike they took was deflected and countered but not single drop of blood was shed.

I take it you want to take him on without using the ultimate attack just yet.

You know me too well Young Master.

They both jumped away from each other as Erebus puts his sword on his shoulder.

"I'll give you this swordsman, you have been the best of all these warriors I've fought so far"

"I appreciate the compliment, I'm afraid I'll have to end you with this final attack so I can finish of your friends"

"I agree with you but you are mistaken, it is you and your pathetic army that will be going down today"

He brings his sword up to eye level.

"This will end it in one attack"

Erebus brings his sword in front of him, prepared for any attack coming to him.

"Let's end this swordsman"

"We shall"

He charges forward as Erebus stands his ground.

Erebus dodges under the attacks and swings his sword. Neither moves for a few seconds before the man drops to one knee as he holds his stomach.

"You got me pretty good but not good enough"

Erebus hold his chest as blood falls from the open wound across his chest plate.

"You got me well too"

Erebus places the sword into the ground as a circle appears under it.

"Looks like I'll be taking your head now, and your servants after"

"Your mistaken, they aren't MY servants"

"Who's are they then?"

"My master's"

He holds his chest as he rests up against the sword. He looks up at the night sky as the moon is covered up by clouds.

"Kami No Hogo"

The red aura engulfs both Danzo and Caster as Erebus laughs.

"What's so funny"

"You should of killed me when you had the chance, not to say you did but"

He points up to the clouds. They begin turning a dark color with a red hue as lightning stirkes.

Erebus switches with me as I now take over my body.

"Ame Jigoku"

One of the soldiers shoulder catches on fire as he desperately tries to put it out. More and more soldiers begin catching fire as they look up to see in terror.

Fire begin to rain down from the sky, killing the enemy as they all start burning.

"What the hell?! You'll pay for this with your life!!"

The swordsman charges at me as I lay on Erebus' Soul. I let it happen as all my energy was used on this ultimate attack. He aims his sword to my chest as I close my eyes and let it happen.

I wish I had a chance to apologize to them. I know they hurt me with what I saw but I shouldn't of just ignored them either. I should of got their part of the story too.

Nonsense Young Master, your actions were the appropriate reaction. What they did was inexcusable. You did no wrong.

I guess your right... maybe I'm just not meant to be happy.

What about with Kuroka.

Me and her are just friends. Yea. Just friends.

Before his blade makes contact with my heart, it's stopped by another blade. Danzo had tossed a kunai just in time to stop his sword from killing me. Caster punches him in the gut as he flies into the air as Danzo quickly slices his neck open, killing him instantly. Hit body starts catching on fire as I look around to see bodies pilled up everywhere, either burned to the bone or on their way to it. With the swords of all the soldiers on the ground, I use them as a way to pick myself up.

"What a shit hole this turned into"

The fire stopped coming down as the clouds turned back to normal and began to rain water. I look up and put my hand out.

"Tranquility"

"What is it master?"

"Everything is back to being peaceful, the war has stopped, the battle is over, the rain comes down to wash away the blood that has stained the soil as it tries to sweep away what has happened here"

The corpses of the enemies still remain as I look back at my servants.

"Or maybe I'm just running my mouth speaking nonsense"

"Hey master, are you going to turn back to human or are you going to remain like that?"

You'll go back to normal, your levels of chakra at the moment are too high, you'll need to lower them down.

"I'll be fine, just need to relax"

I fall down as my back rests on Erebus' Soul. The girls try to help me back up but I look at them.

"Its okay, you all can return back to recharge on energy"

"Are you sure Lord Y/n?"

I put my hand over Danzo's head as I smiled within the helmet.

"I'll be okay, the other's should be coming here anyway"

"Very well, as a shinobi, Danzo will follow your orders, please be safe and call for us if you need us Lord Y/n"

They both start to glow.

"You got it"

"Be safe master, remember to calls us if you need us again"

"I understand, take care girls"

The disappear as I'm now left alone. I stand up as I pull my sword out and walk to a hill nearby with a tree. I lean back against it and take a deep breath as the armor slowly starts to go turn into dust. I close my eyes as I start drifting towards elsewhere.

Young Master.

Yes.

It appears we have some company up ahead.

You got to be kidding me.

I open my eyes expecting reinforcements but instead I see something else.

"There he is, Y/n!!"

Rias peerage arrive as they see the carnage that was left behind.

"Did he really take on an entire army?!"

"Burned down an entire grass plain aswell from the looks of things"

I stand and make my way towards them as my armor keeps falling off me, turning to dust as it hits the ground. My helmet falls off revealing my skin looking very pale with red eyes as some blood runs down nose.

"Y/n?"

"It's okay, just an aftereffect from using that armor so long"

Please tell me it's just an aftereffect and that it'll wear of after a couple of minutes.

Hehehe, yes Young Master you're correct.

I wake my way towards them, they are about a couple of yards ahead of me when I see her again.

"Koneko?"

"Y/n?"

We stand at opposite sides of each other as the group stands behind her.

"What happened-"

"Don't"

I cut her off as I sheath my sword.

"Look what happened, happened, there's nothing we can do to change that, quite frankly I won't ever forget what happened"

Issei looks down as Rias puts a hand on his shoulder as she walks towards Koneko's side.

"Y/n"

"What is it?"

"I don't think you should be placing a blame on anybody"

"Why do you say that?"

"You came to Koneko asking her if she had feelings for Issei didn't you? You made her reconsider if she really loved Issei or not"

"Are you blaming me for what happened?!"

"I do.. but I also blame myself"

"What do you mean?"

She bits her lip as she looks at me in the eyes.

"I asked Koneko to kiss Issei"

My mind goes blank as I process what she said.

"You... what?"

"Koneko told me she was unsure of whether you were right or not about how she felt about him so I-"

"So you made her kiss my best friend!!! Rias how stupid could you be!!!"

"You made her feel that way-"

"And what if I was right, what if she did end up falling back in love with him because the kiss reassured it!!!"

I look at Koneko who stayed quiet, looking down.

"No... I'm wrong... You already are in love with him aren't you?"

Her silence spoke for her... She did love him. I look at Issei as he grows a depressed look.

"Fine then... keep her"

I turn back and start walking away when I hear a voice behind me.

"Wait Y/n!!"

"What, you already made up your mind didn't you-"

"No, I love you!!"

"Then what about him!!"

I turn back around.

"And you!!! Best friend, you feel in love with her as well didn't you!! The only thing in your mind is boobs, girl and that stupid harem of yours!! Weren't you supposed to be my friend!!"

He doesn't say a word as I look at Koneko.

"I don't want to hear another word from you again, what you did hurt me the most... I loved you, but I guess love doesn't really exist in this world does it"

"Y/n wait"

I turn around to see a white light hit me straight into the chest followed by two more that strike me in the shoulder and gut.

"Y/n!!"

Young Master!!!

"The weapon... it was hiding, the army was a distraction"

Another shot is fired as it hits me in the head. My world turns to black as I collapse on the ground. The last thing I hear is Koneko scream out my name.

"Y/n!!!"
