DxD Crawling To The Top

Chapter 34


….


<Telos Karma: BALANCE BREAKER!!>


Haruto is covered in light and turns into a light-like being. Telos Karma, Longinus Type Sacred Gear Nr.13, due to it being the latest Longinus to be discovered and being number thirteen it is considered unlucky. Telos Karma can forcibly create and enforce choices that aren't possible normally.

Someone like a master swordsman wouldn't be knocked out by a stone thrown by a kid. But this Sacred Gear can make that very unlikely possibility happen, the Sacred Gear can do nothing… and everything at the same time. 


The chances of Haruto breaking out of Athena's restrictions while he is weakened were unlikely. The space around Athena being contorted to stop her movement is extremely unlikely, but now it becomes a possibility.


"Athena… emotions make you do stupid things… and being the goddess of Wisdom doesn't seem to make you realize how foolish you are being." Says Haruto, in a strange voice as if hundreds of people are talking at the same time. 


Athena winces as the space around her arm starts twisting.


*crack*


Her arm breaks like a twig, she knows that Haruto won't be easy on her. Even if they have been together for so long now, that is the type of man he is.


Haruto Shimura, The Existence Eater, Irregular Magician… and the strongest human.


[Curse] A strange voice comes from Haruto's light body. It seemed like a heavy voice and Athena feels the invisible restraints around her tighten. Still, she just flexes her divine power, and the space around her cracks and breaks. Allowing her to use her arms to restrict Haruto.

"I want you to live!" Exclaims Athena. "I don't care what you think! I will save you."


Haruto's eyes, which are now just two brighter circles of light look at Athena and flicker slightly.


[Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] 
[Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] 
[Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] [Curse] 


"You can't fight me, Athena." Says Haruto, his voice still deep and countless as Athena's body suddenly convulses and she can't even move as if she is stuck in time. Which she technically is… 


The Sacred Gear by itself can't do much, but with the circumstances around it can do everything. Especially now that they are in Athena's lab, which is located in… The Dimensional Gap, a place where even the impossible becomes possible. This the place where Telos Karma could be considered to be at its most powerful. When combined with Haruto's knowledge and power… he becomes something formidable. Something that not even Athena could resist as he points his finger at her. "Athena… help me deal with this. I want you to listen to me. I need you. Also next time you do something like this I will kill you. Understand?"



He releases the seals around and she and Athena nods at that. She is back to being calm now.


He then releases Athena completely, still while being on guard. He never imagined that her love would evolve in such a way.


Fwish!


He appears in front of Athena before she can react and grabs her by the throat and lifts her up. "I love you Athena… but never… NEVER!! DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ME!!"


She just looks at him calmly. "I don't care. If you are asking me to let you kill yourself… then you better kill me now. Because I will never allow that to happen."


"I see." Is all Haruto says and a small dark magic circle appears. A red spear comes out of it with the tip pointing straight at Athena's heart. "I will kill you… if you don't promise me to never do something like this."



Athena doesn't say anything, her calm blue eyes look straight at Haruto's light form. "I won't lie to you. Is that what you are expecting of me? You just want a reason to let me live. If you want to, you can kill me. I won't mind if it's you who does it."


Haruto doesn't say anything. 'This woman… she truly is something else.' Wonders Haruto. He doesn't understand her feelings for him, she will give her life and everything else just for him. If he told her to use her life to save his life. He knows that she would do it. It truly baffles him.


Still, the red spear retreats into the magic circle. He just can't bring himself to kill Athena for something like this, he cancels the usage of Telos Karma, he is back to his normal human form. 


He goes to the medical table and lies down. "Athena… I want you to help me restrain the thing inside of me."


She nods at that, gets close to him, and touches his abdomen. Both then say at the same time. ""<Mind Temple>""


FWOSH!!!



….
Immediately, next, they appear in a green field, Athena looks around and smiles slightly. "Nice place."


"Thanks." Says Haruto, this is his mindscape, it's the inside of his spirit essentially. 


That is when in a hue, a giant minotaur appears, he is three times the size of a normal human he has impossibly buff muscles. The creature then kneels in front of Haruto.

This is The Minotaur, his Sacred Gear. Or more correctly the creature inside of it, if it can even be classified as that. The Minos Sacred Gear will no longer be able to be reincarnated, Haruto has by himself defeated the creature making the sacred gear his own power. Then he tortured the minotaur to insanity till it became submissive to him. 

He had concluded that when Vali had defeated every previous wilder of Divine Dividing he was able to use Empireo Juggernaut Drive. Haruto went the same way, but he wasn't done with just defeating them, he sealed their consciousnesses and destroyed their memories.


He even went further and defeated the Minotaur with his own power. Something that would be impossible for Vali or Issei to defeat the Heavenly Dragons with their own power. Both of them rely on their Sacred Gears powers. But even Haruto can't defeat a Heavenly Dragon by himself, but The Minotaur is just an Ultimate Class monster that has tremendous Endurance, Strength, and good Agility. But still, something that Haruto didn't have too much of a difficulty beating years ago by using strategy… and poison magic.


Then the giant ball of light appears next to him. It is Telos Karma… 



Athena suddenly feels a chill down her spine and looks at the sky, she is shocked by what she sees. It is a black mass sealed in a cage that has cracks in it.


"What is that?" Asks Athena calmly, but on the inside, she is terrified. Never before has she seen something like this. 'That thing… what the hell is it?'


Haruto has a smile on his face. "That is my road." Is all he says, but Athena doesn't understand what he means. She knew that he had sealed a Legendary Dragon inside of himself but nothing like this… plus the dragon is nowhere to be seen.


Haruto smirks at this, and even though the cage seems almost about to break he seems uninterested at that. 


"Where is the dragon?" Asks Athena once more, feeling that Haruto has suddenly become an enigma once more.


Haruto still has a smirk on his face at that, not saying anything at all. He doesn't plan to tell Athena anything about this.


"We are gonna try and restrain that thing now." Says Haruto pointing at the dark mess of things. 


"Are you crazy?!!" Questions Athena. "That is not something any of us can take on. How the hell is even the seals holding on?!!"


Suddenly she feels something strange and looks at the monster once more. "What?!! Did it just get stronger?!!"


She felt the creature get stronger just as they started talking. She narrowed her eyes and saw that even more cracks had appeared in the cage.


Haruto just stretches as Athena asks him questions like that. Unlike the real world where he is physically weakened, here he is in perfect shape with all his mana available, he can use his full power.


In the end, he takes a deep breath, Talos Karma and The Minotaur start circling him. That is when he starts chanting. 

"I, who is about to awaken,
Am the Heavenly Human 
Who has stolen the principle 
of Perfection from God. 
I Challenge the Infinite 
And Replace The Dream
I shall become the
 Human to break through my Limits
And I will drown you
to the depths of Massacre."


"GOLDEN JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!!"



BOOOOOOM!!!


A huge power explodes out of his body as a golden armor many times the size of his body appears around him. A pronged halo of light that looks like a crown appears above his head.











....
A/N: Yep... Haruto is going all out now...
