Vol 3 Chapter 8: Time Winding Down
Mordred: "HA!!"
She swung her sword as Kiba blocks it. Despite it, the blade shatters and he retreats back to take out another.
Mordred: "You are getting slow knight"
Kiba: "I wouldn't say that"
He begins to blitz Mordred as she brings out her armor to tank most of the damage while she focuses on a point of attack.
Mordred: "Now!!"
She swings her sword and catches Kiba and flings him away.
*crash*
Issei: "MY TURN!!!"
Issei flew over her and fired a strong mana burst from Merodach.
Mordred: "DAMN!! I AIN'T DONE YET!!"
She managed to catch Issei, who was in his balance breaker armor, by the neck and slammed him to the ground. X was looking at the group and sighed.
X: "You all are good but not great"
She quickly runs in and solos the 2 combatants without much effort.
Mordred: "Damn, still didn't even put a scratch on you?"
Issei: "Doesn't look like it"
The two sit up as X moves her hair away from her eyes.
X: "You pushed my hair a little. I'll give you two points for that"
Kiba: "How did we end up in this situation again?"
Kiba dusted himself and sat down with his fellow students while X brought out some chocolates.
X: "You 3 were supposed to go against me and managed to somehow turn this spar into a 3 way battle with each other"
All 3: "Sorry"
Mordred: "You have to admit father, we could be something pretty good if we can coordinate though"
X: "But when will that happen? You haven't shown me those results despite a few glimpses. You all somehow almost always find yourselves fighting midway"
All 3: "Sorry again"
They sigh as they look at their weapons.
X: "We have a week left. Normally, I wouldn't advice working in a team since we won't be competing as such. We all will fight as a peerage until the final 20 are left, then it'll be a free for all"
Issei: "I hope can atleast reach that. I'd love a spar with Y/n. He's soo powerful!! I want to see what this Diabolos Form I've been working on with Ophis in my spare time is like"
Kiba: "I heard she blessed it herself"
Ddraig: "We managed to make contact with the Great Red as well. He's seemed to want to lend us some of his strength when the time comes"
Issei: "You think he'd lend some of it even if it was for a match with Y/n?"
Ddraig: "I'm sure he'd love to see it. The combined power of the 2 Dragon Gods and the full power of one of the Heavenly Dragons"
Mordred: "Make sure you invite me to see it"
X: "I'm sure you'll be able to witness it in person"
Mordred lays back onto the ground as she vents her exhaustion out with a long sigh.
Mordred: "A council of 10?"
X: "There is a stronger one"
Mordred: "There is?!"
X nods as she looks at her hands.
X: "It involves Sirzechs, Azazel, Michael, Shiva, Y/n, Serafall, Odin, Zeus, Amaterasu, and Beelzebub. This alliance is called the Supreme Ones"
Mordred: "Zeus too?"
X: "Yes. Since the Rating Game, Y/n and Zeus haven't really spoken but the animosity has been slowly deteriorating since the world is something more important"
Kiba: "Especially after Zeus kept his word. I'm sure that's something Y/n can atleast respect about him. Can't say the same about Hades"
X plunges Excalibur onto the ground and sits down with the group, resting her back on her sword as she thinks.
X: "We still have to deal with him"
Issei: "I doubt he'd be much for Y/n. After all, he took out 2 beasts himself"
X: "He had major help with the first. Gilgamesh sacrificed himself to give us the opening we needed to bring her down and even Tiamat expending much of her strength to tire her out"
Mordred: "On top of that, master had to release an insane amount of mana to fire his most powerful weapon. Not to mention we technically had 3 Gilgamesh in battle with Alter"
X: "Regarding Kiara, it took a full power Astarte, Kama accepting her Beast Form and master unleashing his Genesis Mystic Code with Tiamat's blood coursing through his body.. It took everything, including the most powerful individuals in this world to finally bring her down"
Issei: "I guess you have a point, but I know Y/n can do it. With all of us getting stronger since then, we can do this!!"
X looked over to see Issei balling his hand in a fist while smiling confidently.
X: ".. *chuckles* I can see why he has high hopes for you. Issei, as your teacher, I'll be giving you one last task. This will be your graduation test"
Issei: "I'm ready for it teacher!!"
He put his hands on his lap while paying X his upmost attention.
X: "Your goal is to surpass everyone else in this competition and clinch a spot in Team Gilgamesh. Do that and you'll ascend to the final stage in your chapter"
Issei: ".. Y/n"
She nods with a warm smile.
X: "I believe in you"
She pats his head as he looked to the ground, thinking about the ghost of the man he is trying to reach.
Issei: ".. I'll do it. I thank you for all your lessons Miss X!! You too Mordred"
Mordred: "Meh, you did well for a runt. Go ahead and reach for master if you can. He'll be waiting there to teach you next"
Issei; "I won't let you guys down!!"
He bowed his head to the two as Kiba chuckled.
Kiba: "I believe in you too Issei"
Issei: "Thanks man. I'll do everything to get a spot"
X slowly got up as she picked up her sword.
X: "That's what I like to hear. Now, how about we start from the top again? And this time, try to actually fight me and not yourselves"
All 3: "Yes ma'am!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 days later
Goetia: "*chuckles*"
Goetia was standing above the walls of Kuoh as he watched the kingdom thrive. With the revelation of the supernatural, beings of other races began to arrive to the Kingdom of Kuoh in hopes of bettering their family.
Despite being a different race, the people did not look at them differently.
Man: "Good morning"
Beast man: "Good morning to you too"
Each individual was no longer human, beastman or vampire. Rather, everyone was man of Kuoh, woman of Kuoh, or child of Kuoh.
The Prince of Heroes personally established it as a law given some of his peerage also being part animal. Should anyone be found abusing another for such acts, immediate expulsion of the kingdom will be enacted as well as the losing of their benefits that the King had donated to his people.
Goetia: "Well, isn't this the fantasy you've created young King?"
Astarte: "Goetia!!"
She dropped down as Kama lands on the opposite end.
Kama: "What do you want?"
Goetia sat down at the edge as he smiled without a worry in mind.
Goetia: "Do you both have the strength to beat me?"
The two didn't say a word as he rested his chin on the palm of his hand.
Goetia: "Relax, I will not attack. Not yet atleast"
The two were on guard as he watched the people prosper.
Goetia: "I never thought I'd see such a united land, yet here it is. Right in front of me"
Astarte: "All this was made possible by the High Priest"
Goetia: "The people were also involved. You give him too much credit"
Astarte: "I'm allowed to praise a man worthy of those comments. No man or God would of been able to do such a thing"
Goetia: "You think so?"
Astarte: "In Proper Human History, was there ever someone who was able to accomplish this feat?"
Goetia: "*chuckles* You have me there Goddess of Evil. Say, why does evil side with a good man?"
Kama: "There is no true right or wrong"
He turned to Kama.
Goetia: "Oh?"
Kama: "Y/n views this as the right thing to do, so his people view it as so. His enemies don't, so they see it as evil"
Goetia: "So you've taken that ideology? Hm, fair enough. I see my way as the right thing to do as well. You don't. I wish to wipe this world clean of humanity in order to save it from itself. Your King will view that as evil won't he?"
Kama nods as he sits back.
Goetia: "And he defying me, slaughting gods that get in his way of accomplish what he wants, going against the very world itself is good?"
Kama: "He wants what's best for humanity"
Goetia: "And I want what's best for the world"
Kama/Goetia: "And that's to get rid of you/humanity"
He begins to laugh to himself as Kama and Astarte ready themselves for any attack.
Goetia: "I said I wouldn't attack. Not until he is ready. Once his built up rage reaches its max.. I suppose eliminating you two and throwing your corpses at his doorstep could possibly speed up the process?"
He rose up the ground as they watched him.
Goetia: "But I won't.. Kama, you know what your mission was. You decided to defy it to satisfy your own selfish desires, didn't you?"
Kama: "What I want isn't of your concern"
Goetia: "You were sent here for the purpose of killing Y/n and yet, here you are like a little love puppy at his feet. You too Empress of Evil, your mission was to kill him as well"
Astarte: "..."
Kama: "Why don't you just shut up already? You're starting to annoy me"
She activated her Beast powers as she took a step forward.
Goetia: "I wouldn't recommend that"
Astarte: "I'm activating my Goddess form"
She began to power up as well as Goetia sighed.
Goetia: "I said I wouldn't fight you all.. but it seems someone has to calm the two toddler goddess temper tantrums"
They both charged towards Beast one as he swiftly dodges Kama's attack.
Goetia: "You still aren't refined in your power"
With a chop, he sends her down to the ground as he forces her out of the beast form.
Astarte: "Bastard!!"
He flicks her on the forehead as she goes flying across the Pacific Ocean.
Goetia: "*sighs* Such letdowns"
He looks down to see the unconscious Kama on the ground.
Goetia: "Hm, I wonder if I could take her with me? Perhaps Gaia may have a way of changing her back to her original mission?"
Before he could decide, the general of the Fallen Angels arrived.
Azazel: "I wouldn't do that if I were you"
Goetia: "Do you think you can stop me?"
Azazel began to laugh out loud as he glares at the King of Demon Gods.
Azazel: "Of course not, but I wouldn't recommend angering the sleeping giant back there. He's quite fond of her now"
Goetia: "AHAHAHAA!! He's attached to the same monster that killed his mother?! Isn't that something"
Ophis: "He does look like it"
Ophis arrived at the other side of Goetia.
Goetia: "So he's got a soft spot for the brat? Well, I don't wish to start the war this early with him yet. I'll leave her in your hands then. Oh, your Primordial Goddess is somewhere in the other continent in the same state. I recommend you pick her up quickly"
He opened a door to his temple as he turned back to the 2.
Goetia: "Let Y/n know that I'll be giving a gift when he comes back. I'll be waiting for him"
It closes as Azazel looked worried at his message.
Azazel: "I don't like what he said"
Ophis: "Seems he's got something planned. I'd inform Y/n as soon as possible"
Azazel: "Yea.. I will"
He looked down and glided towards Kama.
Azazel: "Doesn't look like he did any serious damage"
He picks her up and turned his attention to Ophis.
Azazel: "Think you can get someone to pick up the other one?"
Ophis: "I suppose I wouldn't mind offering a hand. It is for Y/n~"
Azazel: "It is. Thanks"
He went back to Kama as he was concerned with how easily he managed to defeat the 2 individuals who helped defeat Kiara.
Azazel: "Looks like we are relying on you again kid?.. This is so much pressure on him again. I hope he doesn't break on us.. How the hell can I be of help when everyone is beyond my power?"
He looks to the sky as he sighs.
Azazel: "Come on Gilgamesh, send me some sort of clue?"
