Chapter 12 - 11 - Truth (1/2)
* * * * *
”A Durandal?!”
”You were not the wielder of the Excalibur?!”
”Wrong. I was originally the wielder of Durandal. I was also chosen as the holder of the Excalibur. That's all.”
The blade of Durandal in Xenovia's hand started to produce more holy-aura than the Excalibur Freed held.
With a single slash, the Excalibur shattered.
”Are you serious?! Are you really serious right now?!”
Freed started to panic and taking that opportunity, Kiba went right at him.
Checkmate!

”Balba Galilei. Prepare yourself.”
Kiba pointed his Holy-Demonic sword.
”HAHAHA...Holy-Demonic Sword...A cursed abomination. Do you want to know the reason why that is possible?”
Xenovia stepped forward as she pointed Durandal as well.
”What do you mean?”
”Fuhaha, fuahahahahahaha! It seems the truth wasn't revealed to you lower guys! Then I will now tell you. In the war between the three sides, not only the Yondai-Maou, but God also died!”
...!.....?!
Everyone became shocked beyond words.
... ...God didn't exist anymore?
Xenovia seemed like she lost all her strength as she stumbled to her knees with a panicked expression that was too unbearable to look at.
An active believer. God's servant. A person who lived by serving God as her mission. If the existence of God was rejected, and she lost the means to live, it was only natural.
”... ...God doesn't exist? God... ...is dead? Then...”
Asia started to cover her mouth with her hands as her whole body shook.
”Fuhahah...” However, before Balba could finish laughing--
DON!
The demonic power shot by Rias left nothing of Balba.
At that moment--
Something bright fell from the sky.
FLASH!
There was a white thing glowing. A white plated armor.
”Hakuryuukou. ... ...Vanishing Dragon.”
???!!!
Laying stone cold on the Hakuryuukou's shoulder, was Kokabiel.
”So--”
”It was you who took down Kokabiel, Vanishing Dragon?”
However, the Hakuryuukou shook his head as he picked up the fallen Freed.
”It seems you took care of Balba and Freed. I have to thank you for that. As for Kokabiel, I only cleaned up the mess. It was mainly Uchiha Sasuke who did the job of defeating him. You should thank him instead. It seems I was quite unneeded in this mission.”
”Sasuke did?” Rias had a shocked expression on her face.
”Yeah. You should thank your lucky stars that the Sekiryuutei took care of Kokabiel for you. After all, you guys don't stand a chance against him.”
”The day will come when he and I battle. After all, the red and white must finally draw to a conclusion”
With that--
The Hakuryuukou turned into a streak of white light and flew up.

”Hmph. So that Xenovia girl became your servant? Good for you.”
Sasuke was currently sitting in the living room along with Rias.
”Yeah...after she found out that God had died in the previous war, she decided to become a devil. However, her friend Irina--”
Sasuke noticed the change in Rias's expression and he roughly guessed the reason.
”She is angry at her friend for becoming a devil? I take it none of you told that Irina person God had died.”
