c3 (2/2)
As for Zen and shi+n, they were stunned by how their older sister and younger brother had started a battle immediately upon arrival
”……In this manner, those two really do rese true to their words, or co attack as soon as they see their opponent”
”Well, shouldn't we follow after Nee-san and Ex like ays do? Now, shall we go?”
Zen prepared his Durandal IV, while shi+n grew one pure white angel wing and one dragon wing and carried a specialized japanese sword in each hand He ielding Katanas in a tord style? They probably weren't ordinary japanese swords The twin style swords were continuously releasing holy waves
Zen and shi+n having now joined Ex and Airi at the front, the nuic circle were routed Those guys were firing off bea fired, but Ise's children weren't worried as they bravely defeated them all one by one
……I didn't even get a turn More or less, I was about to ht in my hand but……
'Boost!!' 'Explosion!!'
A faauntlet Ex was equipping——the artificial Longinus, which resembled the Boosted Gear
So which a cartridge popped out Instantly, an enorauntlet, which wrapped itself around Ex's sword It greatly enhanced Ex's own personal aura, causing his movements to become much htering the 'UL' splendidly It seemed to function similar to the Durandal IV Zen carried in that it increases in power by using a charged bullet
While the operating mechanism seemed to be somewhat different, fundamentally in terenuine Boosted Gear It would double power, utilizing that power to improve one's physical abilities
I also caused destruction by firing an enor, it could be said to be an effectivedue to the counterhtdown small fry 'UL' with some effectiveness
It was a technical equation discovered to bypass the unique barrier not visible to the naked eye that covers their exterior, so just incorporating it into one's offensive technique was enough to overcoh bulldozing it rather than undoing it, so it perforh I would like to immediately teach it to everyone other than ourselves, I can't let it slip to my students or else the equationI were able to fix the equation, though that would also be extreh it would seem
Withbeen defeated by this point——the radiant lustrous black cylinders froan to ru with a clickity-clack sound, like they were transfor from the form of a cylinder, they now stood before us There was asi transformed from one of the cylinders These five cylinders, it seems each of them transforms into a different shape
Thus, the atmosphere that surrounded each of the transfor that of the soldier 'UL', nizable that they would be especially difficult opponents
——Then, just as I was thinking that, the bodies of the cylinder 'UL' that had already transforain; the arun barrels and pointed the muzzles at us! From the back of the beast-type a closely packed protuberance eed, which produced objects that were shaped like missiles! Each of the various transformed forms of the cylinder 'UL' formed armaments all over their entire bodies!
Pointing them towards us, they respectively unleashed a bo no cover to hide from all these attacks fro with the solider 'UL' It didn't matter if it was an enemy or ally!
Spreading ain some distance and find temporary shelter My entire body covered with a defensive-type ic circle, the bombardment pounded upon e fro
A ic circle with a heavy thud of an i the the , just how many of them can I possibly withstand!
The quarry site, having been subjected to such a super widespread bombardment over a wide area, was enveloped in explosions and fumes!! Evidently the shape of the landscape had been forcibly transfor transfor formed!
Oi oi oi, the battle in the forest the other day was enough; did you say that you think I should be in a position to clean up afterwards due to how re a perfect restoration this ti the complete transference of the opponent, since even this level of dauess that's because it's a strategic class weapon If it were allowed to complete its body it not only wouldn't just stop at noticable daine the result
As for Ise's children——while I had boldly expanded a defensivedown the missiles and bombardment shots one by one with the specialized weaponry they ielding It appeared they ell practiced in this sort of offensive co the 'UL' in the world of the future Rather than curl up behind a poor defense they intercepted the attack and suffered noticeably less dae
The bo ceased, Ex pointed his crimson sword at the cylinder 'UL' that each was one part of the 'Beuba Rekorugu' of the 'Invade Fanatics' It seeauntlet
Seeing that Airi gave hi
”Ex, please stop overworking that 'Boosted Gear Diabolus'[4] ——As yet, it's still unstable right?”
”But!”
Airi had spoken of the 'Boosted Gear Diabolus', which was apparently the naauntlet It was usable but……it was still unstable
Airi bravely took one step forward
”……Here I go”
Thereupon, a golden aura being ean to sway
The girl chanted a powerful spell
”——Respond to reat For the sake of together striking dead the enemies before us——reveal thyself before me——!!”
Magic circles appeared on Airi's face, hands, and feet——the design that appeared was that of the dragon gate! Could it be she was using herself as a Yorishi+ro to suolden aura that was eic circle on Airi's chest!
A large aether with the ure beside Airi That figure's body——it had the silhouette of an enorolden aura ——It was Fafnir
You could tell it was Fafnir froolden brilliance that was exuded from him
”Fafnir-chan, I know you only just arrived here, but I have good news ——We have met up with the companions of the one who placed the curse on Okaa-san”
Turning into light, Fafnir proceeded to wrap around Airi co her
——That figure of Airi's now appeared to be wearing a heavenly raiment
”My artificial Longinus——'Gigantis Maiden Robe[6]'”
——An artificial Longinus!! So Airi was also carrying one! Moreover……this one used Fafnir as a core I had also made use of Fafnir's borrowed power but this seemed to be the successor
Froon silhouette appeared That silhouette then spoke
'The honorable me, will lend my power to Airi-tan!!'[7]
Airi, while wrapped in the rai in place, and her aura all at once vastly increased And then, she and the silhouette of Fafnir cried out together!!
” 'Balance Adjust[8]!!' ”
Instantly, Airi's entire body swelled with golden aura, a tremendous amount of it! The aura's brilliance formed a shape, which wrapped around Airi's entire body
The golden light then burst, and froolden plate armor!! Was this the pseudo-Balance Breaker[9] of an artificial Longinus!? No, I could sense that the power had stabilized compared to when I would sometimes manifest it!
Wearing the golden arainst the lustrous black column 'UL'
”——Counter Balance[10], 'Gigantis Blessed Scalemail[11]'”
——Counter Balance Written as Demon Move but read as Counter Balance
Zen gave this explanation to myself as astonished at this phenomenon
”In our time period, when it coinus, just like how for the genuine ones there's no issue with the state of their Balance Breakers——they're capable of reaching Counter Balances For the Balance Breaker, it's merely the unleashment of power that destroys the balance of the world, but the the Counter Balance is the opposite In coenuine ones which are stable by nature, this is a state which is attained by the possessor's power being used to forcibly stabilize the artificial Sacred Gear”
I get it, then this ought to be the fruit produced in the future from my present artificial Sacred Gear's Balance Breaker theories
Well, I had believed that anything appeared to be possible, so thus having been show the answer previously……I was happy for it, but at the sa it be directly answered
So just as the Balance Breaker is a power up for the genuine Sacred Gears, the Counter Balance is a power up for the artificial Sacred Gears
Airi spoke to us while wearing the armor
”Zen, shi+n, Ex, and you as well first generation Governor General, if you all would please follow me”
Zen and shi+n responded ””Understood””, spread their wings, and rushed forward
Zen spoke
”Ex! You're together with the first generation Governor General!”
”Zen and I will be the ones to follow Airi nee-san!”
As shi+n also spoke, he once again gripped his two japanese-style swords, thrusting them into the cylinder 'UL'!
Zen began a high speed battle with the beast-type 'UL' Leaping high up into the air, it launched an attack at Zen as flying in the air, but he siine appeared froine to change its posture in an to attack Zen who had evaded it's attack
However, evading even that, Zen slashed at it with Durandal!
”GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!”
On the other side, shi+n was fighting with the humanoid and another beast-type 'UL' As he was continuously dodging the opponent's bo on the shape of an enor it doards at shi+n! It was a combination attack by means of transformation!
——However, catching the bloith his two specialized swords, shi+n forced the sword back!!
He slashed the humanoid with a cross slash!+
”I'll simply deal with all you 'UL' at once! And let us say AMEN!”
The way he perfor style of Irina's son
Zen and shi+n would sometimes join up and follow up on each other's attacks It seemed that they also ainst her opponent
Speaking of Airi——while leaving a trail of golden light, she wasabout faster the one's eyes could follow She was attacking the giant bird type cylinder 'UL' unilaterally, successively landing unseen blows on the opponent's body!
Finally Airi thrust her fist onto the giant bird's abdomen! When Airi withdrew her fist she distanced herself fro received lethal dah it was short circuiting, and while e smoke——it shattered!!
Just by having used the Counter Balance, Airi had disposed of it in a ht independently The result was that they were co them one by one——
Regarding the actions of the three siblings, Ex smiled bitterly
”Seriously, it's always like this whenever those three fight”
”Those guys, are they always fighting together?”
Ex nodded in response to my inquiry
”Yeah, since Asia kaa-san, Xenovia kaa-san, and Irina kaa-san were close fellow co those three have always acted as a trio Because of that——they have developed the perfect formation”
Like Ex said, Zen, shi+n, and Airi were fighting as a trio, not bu into each other, but rather they would each smoothly follow up on the other's attacks, co their opponents
”There's nothing my Durandal IV can't cut, almost”
In the end, Zen bisected the beastial cylindrical 'UL' into two equal parts using Durandal's tremendous attack power
On the other side, that of the hu the 'UL' that had taken the forh them crosswise shi+n then kissed the crucifix around his neck and spoke
”——Against the famous spirit swords that have received the divine protection of the Holy Spirit, how could it be sharper than Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamatonokami Yasusada?[12]”
The one re a half-beast half-man The upper half of its body was hus of a beast, and there were also wings sprouting from its back
As for Airi, she stepped right up to that thing
”……Okaa-san”
Airi spoke with passion
”Okaa-san, she always enjoyed growing flowers, and she took pride in her needlework She was also proud of her cooking, having inherited the the Hyoudou flavor perfectly, and even Otou-san and Ojii-chan were pleased by it Always s, and because she was so unsuspecting, Otou-san, Faf-chan, and I were always very protective of her……”
An i itself around Airi's fist This young girl, she raised a tearful voice
”Anyone who torive them!!!”
Zen, shi+n, and Ex each continued at this point
”That's about it We will absolutely save Asia kaa-san!!”
”Naturally! I can't iain”
”Regardless of whether it's Loki, or even the 'Eclipsed Seven Luminaries', anyone who harms our important family——”
The three brothers, each swung their respective weapon whose auras had been instantly raised, and their older sister Airi——
”Don't underestimate the family of the Sekiryuutei, you idioooooots!!!”
Wrapping her fist with the maximum amount of aura, she unleashed it all at the 'UL'
Being struck by the coordinated consecutive attacks of Ise's four children, the 'Invade Fanatic', specifically a portion of the 'UL' called 'Beuba Rekorugu', disappeared within the light of the aura
The battle having ended, as ere taking a quick breather we looked over how ed in the end
Airi discovered a piece of ar a ue
”I overdid it☆”
At this brief comment, her three brothers all
As it would seem, they've previously had troubles with their older sister's naughty manners
Regarding the giant transportation-type round, Ise's children and I ether With this we had prevented the possible transference of 'Beuba Rekorugu', or at least te tiic circle Essentially, it could be said that we'd repelled 'Beuba Rekorugu'
——Then, Ex and the others apparently noticed the presence of so Indeed, I could sense the aura of Rias and company in the vicinity This was proven when they cae Since they hadn't sensed our presence, could this be the influence of the 'UL'? After all the power that was being released fro even I didn't understand
Ex and the others donned hoods, cutting of their aura It would be unpleasant if their faces or aura were to be recognized
Having been brought about due to the influence of the transference of the 'UL', thein the sky When they spotted us, they fleards us
When they arrived, upon seeing the severely altered quarry site, Rias was astonished
”……Azazel, how did all this happen?”
”Ahh, this is umm……”
Scratching led to come up with an explanation Well, it was certainly an attack of the 'UL' I couldn't just say that it was a large scale battle with the unidentifiable enemy lifeforms……
Rias's gaze——was also directed at the hooded figures of Ex and the others
”……Who on earth are you guys——”
The ORC members looked at them suspiciously
Having raised her hood, Airi fixed her gaze upon Ise, Rias, and then Asia before turning to
”————”
——!! ……I see S broadly in response to Airi's whispered words, I nodded once
I was profoundly i
”Azazel-dono, we'll be fine froo”
[Understood]
Ex, Zen, and shi+n said this as they accompanied Airi
Thereupon, a transportation-type ic circle expanded beneath their feet, and the four of theht burst——and they were transferred from this place
Ise, who had been suspiciously watching Airi and company——his own future children transfer away, spoke to me
”……They've left Sensei, are those guys coworkers of Sensei's?
”Ments I' with us for this current matter”
They're your children, how could I possibly say soht now
Suddenly, Asia took a step forward and inclined her head
”Due the deep hoods they earing, I couldn't see their faces clearly but……it felt like they were looking at me very intently”
”It's because you're so cute Asia Wouldn't anyone be fascinated by you? That must be it”
It was Ise who said this
Asia held his hand and put on a gentle expression
”However, from those people, I sensed fro at a stranger……”
——! ……Even though they had been born in a different time period, it seems that there was some mysterious communication that passed between them At any rate, they were parent and child after all
”To be honest the saoes for me”
”Me too, me too”
Xenovia and Irina picked up on what Asia had said
”Now that you h the short one was staring at me……”
Apparently Rias had also perceived so
As the ORC members were in the ht back to what Airi had previously whispered in ear
Airi had whispered in a voice that only I could hear
——Regardingthe initials of Asia, Ise, and Rias And thus, for that reason they gave me the characters of 'Love' and 'Truth'[13]
As for myself, I felt deep admiration for the name those two had chosen; that it was a name that was not perfectly suited for her, I didn't feel that way at all
It happened after Ise and the others had left this place I noticed that e The playback was heard only by me
'Azazel-sensei, I want to ood huh As for me, I[14] am the superior of Ex and the others from thirty years into the future——Gasper Vladi'
Finally, it was the long awaited notification of contact frouy——
