After all, Azazel was the leader of the Fallen Angels, a being equal in status to her brother, Sirzechs. And his power, needless to say, was that of the strongest Fallen Angel, one who had survived the Great War of ancient times. So, Rias quickly turned to Sirzechs for help. "Onii-sama, Kyoya is going to fight Azazel..." Although Sirzechs was surprised by Kyoya's decision, he remained calm and smiled at Rias. "Rias, I'm here. Don't worry." Hearing this, Rias breathed a sigh of relief. To avoid causing too much damage, we moved to an open area outside the city. Sirzechs and Serafall—jointly created a powerful barrier. Everyone stood at a safe distance, watching the impending battle between me and Azaze— .... <"Excalibur!"> Without any further ado, I summoned my strongest weapon! A golden light enveloped my hand, and the legendary Holy Sword materialized in my grasp, its blade gleaming with a brilliant golden aura. "A Holy Sword? And judging by its appearance, it's the Sword of Promised Victory!" At this moment, Azazel widened his eyes, a hint of shock in his heart. He hadn't expected me to summon a Holy Sword, and the legendary one at that. "That's right, it's the Sword of Promised Victory. But it's not time for you to be distracted. Here I come!" I raised Excalibur high—and with a slash, a golden beam of energy shot towards Azazel. The shockwave from the golden slash ripped through the earth, creating a storm of swirling energy. Azazel quickly raised his hand, and several magic spears of light appeared behind him. With a terrifying whistling sound—they met Kyoya's attack head-on. "BOOOOOOMMMMM--!" My golden slash collided with Azazel's light spears, and in an instant, a blinding light engulfed the sky. When the light faded, Azazel appeared before me, completely unharmed. "As expected of the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels, you easily neutralized my attack. But—" Once again, I raised Excalibur high above my head. Suddenly, countless golden particles of light appeared around me, gathering within Excalibur. The sword erupted with a blinding light. Then, I locked my eyes onto Azazel, who was hovering in mid-air, and swung down. <"Ex — calibur!!!!"> A devastating beam of golden energy erupted, hurtling towards Azazel at an incredible speed. "That power...!!" In that instant, Azazel felt a hint of mortal danger. He quickly constructed a defensive barrier, increasing the flow of magic power to withstand my attack. However, my attack swept away everything in its path, leaving a bottomless chasm in its wake. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM--!" The beam of light slammed into the defensive barrier. Although it was blocked, the force of the impact pushed Azazel back several-hundred-meters before he finally stopped. Seeing this, I dashed towards Azazel with a burst of speed, swinging my sword and slashing him. By the time Azazel stabilized himself, I had already brandished Excalibur, its terrifying magical power exploding once more as I struck again. However, this time—Azazel summoned a Sword of Light and bisected my attack. Seeing that long-range attacks were ineffective, I decided to engage in close-quarters combat. As the shockwaves from our battle raged around us, the already scarred battlefield was finally shattered completely! As time passed, I realized I was starting to be at a disadvantage. "This isn't good," I thought to myself. I lost interest in continuing the Sword fight with Azazel and activated [Dragon's Breath]—spewing a torrent of crimson flames from my mouth. Caught off guard, Azazel was forced to retreat, his disheveled hair nearly scorched. He stared at me, bewildered. "You... You had the aura of a Dragon just now. What's going on? Aren't you human?" I didn't answer. 'The reason I can use Dragon's Breath is—of course, because I fused with the True Dragon Bloodline.' I calmed myself and sheathed the Sword of Promised Victory. "You're not using the Holy Sword anymore? Have you got something else up your sleeve?" "But that's fine too. If you could only defeat Kokabiel with the Holy Sword, that would be quite disappointing." Azazel looked at me, now sheathing the Sword of Promised Victory, his curiosity growing even stronger. "This is my first time using this technique. Azazel, enjoy it!" After saying this, I activated—[Gate of Babylon]—launching an attack on Azazel. Instantly, dazzling golden energy ripples began to appear in the sky, extending even behind me! And the moment those energy ripples formed! Azazel saw it clearly. Exquisitely crafted weapons of various designs began to emerge from within the ripples. Each of these weapons radiated an aura of intense and deadly danger. Even more astonishing was that the number of golden ripples continued to increase, until the sky within the barrier was a sea of gold. Suddenly— Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!! Hundreds, thousands of weapons—glowing with golden light, shot out from the golden energy ripples! Their speed was like lightning, all of them aimed at Azazel! Like a torrential downpour! "What the hell!! Are you kidding me? Are those all Sacred Gears?!" Even Azazel couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he saw this scene. Faced with such a dense barrage, Azazel had no choice but to dodge and block! .... Watching Azazel scurrying around like a rat, I couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction. The barrage from the Gate of Babylon continued unabated. Faced with this constant barrage—Azazel was growing increasingly frustrated. "Damn! Does this kid have an infinite supply of weapons? It's been so long, and there's no sign of it slowing down!" After a while, when I heard the system notification that the task was complete, I stopped the attack! Then, the dense barrage of the Gate of Babylon gradually subsided. The golden ripples that had filled the sky faded away. I looked down at the figure below. Azazel was disheveled, covered in dust and dirt, and even had numerous wounds on his body. He looked utterly miserable. The scene was deathly silent! When everyone finally came to their senses, an uproar erupted. "That was incredible! It was practically a one-sided beatdown!" "Kyoya managed to fight Azazel to this extent!" "Un... Unbelievable..." Down below, Rias's eyes were wide, her expression frozen in shock. Not just Rias, but the rest of the girls, even Sirzechs and Serafall, were stunned by my power. "Is that... Kyoya's true strength?" Akeno mumbled, unable to find the words. "Wow, he actually beat Azazel to a pulp. What a monster!" Serafall exclaimed. Even the Super Devil Sirzechs couldn't hide his surprise. ❁❁❁❁ ~ 17 Advanced Chapters Available on Patreon! https://p-atreon.com/dragonnx (Just remove the hyphen to access Patreon normally.)
