DxD Crawling To The TOP

Chapter 28





….

<Minos Gear: BALANCE BREAKER!!!>



Bulky brown armor surrounds Haruto, with purple gems all around it.








Kokabiel has a slight smile as sweat runs down his face by the raw power that he feels. He can see that in raw power, Haruto is outrageously an advantage at this.


The amount of power that the human in front of his is releasing is nothing like a normal Ultimate Class being would release. The heaviness of it could be felt in the air and it was like a thick wind as it easily but through the ground, destroyed the old school building, and it generally ruined the school ground.


At this critical moment, Athena appears with a worried look on her face as she waves her hand vertically and a golden barrier is formed. One that engulfs the church trio, the devils, and she also casts another secondary barrier inside Sona's barrier.


"This should keep the power at bay for a while." Says Athena out loudly. Though she might not be the strongest God of the Greek Pantheon, her power was nothing to laugh at either. Gods stand at the pinnacle of strength in this world, and she was one of them. While to Kokabiel, Haruto's power was monstrous, to her, the power that he was releasing right now wasn't anything hard to handle.


….
-Haruto POV-



I can feel the power running through me, it makes someone of Kokabiel's power nervous… but not scared. I do not doubt that he had seen a stronger release of power during the Great War. He has seen the Biblical God and some of the scary Super Devils, both of which easily dwarf me in raw power.



Still, I control all of the energy that I am releasing and concentrate it on the long protruding horns on my armor, forming a purple ball between them.


<Cero>



BOOOOOOOM!!!


A giant purple energy beam is released that goes towards Kokabiel.


[Divide] [Divide] [Divide]...


My energy beam grows weaker as it goes towards Kokabiel, but it's still enough to vaporize the Fallen Anger with no difficulty.


I look to the side and see Vali in his White Dragon Emperor, Scale Mail armor.


I look at him, as I too am wearing my armor, he can't read my expression. "Vali, you are late. Seems like I already killed the man."


"That you did." Says Vali casually. "So it is true then, Athena is with you. Her barrier is good."


I nod at that, and a complicated dark circle appears in my hand. I point it at Vali, and I can sense the White Dragon Emperor tense at this. He knows just how dangerous I can be with my spells. But in the end, I point my hand towards the ground.


<Spell Eater>


My magic circle is shot towards the ground below and it engulfs the golden magic circle which was created to destroy the city. 


I can sense Vali's uncomfortably as he sees my dark magic circle overtake the golden one… almost as if it was eating it.


"I came here to take care of Kokabiel. But it seems like I had my work cut out for me." Says Vali, with a nonchalant voice. He then looks at Issei. "It seems like I have quite the unworthy rival this time around."



I don't say anything at that, I do admit that Issei is quite pathetic. 


I don't pay any more attention to him as I look at Athens and she nods understanding the pickle that I am in.

"Well, I will let you guys take care of this," I say teasingly while looking at the ORC Club. Then I look at Vali and warn him. "Be careful not to act too out of hand here will you?"


That was a blatant threat against him, but he just gives me a slight, almost unnoticeable nod.

He understands that fighting me right now isn't in either of our interests, so he doesn't bother with doing anything too violent.


….
In the end, I teleport away with a Teleportation Circle and Athena does the same, teleporting where she knows I will go next.


…
I appear in her laboratory and once she appears too, she looks at my armor and frowns. 

"Dangerous, even though your sacred gear wouldn't normally hurt you… now it wouldn't be a good time to use it." Says Athena, pulling me out of my thoughts.


Well, she knows that isn't true. No matter what, my Sacred Gear would never worsen my condition. Well, if I was your everyday user then it might, but I am not like that.

I have broken the seal in the gear and defeated all its previous Minos Gear holders and even the Minotaur itself. That allowed me to have the control that wouldn't be possible to other Sacred Gear users as only I have tried this. Vali defeated all the previous Divine Dividing Gear users. That is how he was able to use Juggernaut Drive so easily. But I am different, I have defeated the Minotaur residing in my sacred gear and its existence fused with mine. Even though I have deleted the creature's memories since I didn't want to be influenced by it in any way.



So that is how I got my little tool outside of the Sacred Gear reincarnation system altogether. Well, it no longer is a tool now, it is a part of my power and it can't be separated from me at all.




I turn my armor into light particles so Athena can check my body. She has a look of relief that my body's condition. I smirk at that. 


I have my way to deal with my condition, but this will make me stronger in the long run. So I have to endure a little longer.

….
-General POV-



While this was happening with Haruto, on the other side of the City, in Kuoh Academy. After the battle had finished, only the Student Council had enough energy to fix the school and they did.

...
However, as Sona returns home, which consists of a big mansion in the outskirts of town. She enters her room and is immediately jumped.


"So -tan!" Exclaims a childish voice as Serafall hugs her little sister. "I was so scared that Haru -trash would do something to you."



"Huh?" Sona is confused by this. But when her mind catches up with what is going on she blushes. "Nee -sama, it's not like that!"


"So -tan, I am here to take you away from his evil clutches!" Exclaims Serafall once more as she twirls her magic girl wand.


….
But at the same time, in an apparent room in the city, Azazel is playing video games as Vali explains to him the situation and what happened.


"So Haruto has finally decided to get involved?" Asks Azazel rehoritically. "Wonder what he plans to do next."


He knows best that Haruto isn't the type of guy to do something for free. But what he is actually waiting for is the meeting between Haruto and Serafall that is unavoidably going to happen the next day at Kuoh Academy.

"That should be fun!" Exclaims Azazel suddenly. Making Vali looks at him weirdly.


But the White Dragon Emperor also had his own thoughts. 'I wonder if I can beat him in a fight?'
