Chapter 33 - Utsusemi Agency Worst Mistake.
After that Kurayami and his group all left Grigori to a random abandoned building. Tobio stayed behind as he had to train for a while to master his new sacred gear. They teleported here and when they got here they felt nothing special about this place. Akeno was interested. "Kurayami. Why are we here?" He looked over. "Finding them is going to be annoying, so we are using Natsume as bait."
She looked pissed. "HEY. What do you mean to use me as bait?" He looked over and grinned. "Griffon. Tie her up." She scoffed. "You think Griffon will do-WHY?" Griffon got some rope and tied up his own master.. Soon she was totally tied up and Griffon landed on Kurayami's arm. He stroked it's feathers and smiled. She looked like she would cry. "Traitor. Why?" Griffon screeched. "He said 'This is for not giving me cake.' End quote."
They all looked at Griffon who was petty over not getting a cake. Natsume shook her head. "WAIT. I WILL I GIVE YOU CAKE. Don't leave me in the dark." Kurayami looked at her weird. "You afraid of the dark?" She nodded like crazy. "Get me out of this." Lavinia looked at that with a strange look. "Are we using Natsume like a worm?"
Raynare nodded. "Let's pretend she is a big fat worm and the Utsusemi is a big bass." Lavinia nodded. "So they are fish. I did not know that. Natsume help us catch the fish people." Esdeath looked at Lavinia like she was missing a few screws. "Girl. It was an analogy. They are not really fish." Lavinia looked at Raynare like she was a liar. Kurayami's face palmed while Shin covered his eyes with his paw.
Even Akeno was surprised at how much of an airhead this girl was. "Well let's go." They all left while Griffon landed on Natsume's head. She looked up at her sacred gear and looked mad. "What's so special about Kurayami?" He screeched and she couldn't understand him, but felt its meaning. "Something about him being perfect master for beasts."
Griffon nodded. Kurayami was not only a battle genius, but he had the highest talent for familiars especially beasts. Tyrant was currently inactive as just three days ago he had returned to the familiar space and it seemed he was going through a metamorphosis like a butterfly. Kurayami assumed it had to do with Shin and his own aura.
He hoped that he would become a dragon as he had been getting fed dragon's blood along with several expensive meals to improve the power of a familiar. As for the Utsusemi Agency, they were looking at Natsume with magic and some were pissed. Hanezu Himejima, one of the leaders, was clenching his teeth. "Do they think we are idiots?" An elderly witch looked at Natsume and smiled.
"Seems they want us to go to them. Ku Ku KU." She laughed in a weird and eerie manner and he looked over. "Agusta. The shadow. What will you do?" Agusta smiled. "I am going. Walburga were going." From behind her was a little girl in a gothic Lolita outfit. "YES." She was about 13 and followed her master on the magic circle. Hanezu gave his orderers.
"I an going out with Cowardly Leo along with most of the Utsusemi. This is a ambush, but it is the only chance we got to take her and we will not fail." They already lost Natusme Kaouki and a chance to get one is too good to pass up. "I am headed out with you.'' Behind him was a young girl about Tobio's age with a blank look.
From their vantage point Kurayami, Esdeath, Raynare, Vali, Lavinia, Kuroka, and Akeno waited. Kurayami had left Shin in Natsume's shadow meaning he could get to her in a heartbeat. Vali looked at Kurayami and smirked. "Seems you did something crazy. Where is the Boosted Gear?" He looked over. "Tobio has it." Akeno looked at Kurayami. "Cousin?" He nodded. "Seems the sacred gear I want for you is coming to us."
A big magic circle opened up and hundreds of Utsusemi poured out along with their beasts. Kurayami was uninterested on those and he took control of the shadows to have them all appear form Natsume's shadow. He untied her with a quick slash of his knife and she looked pissed. Hanezu Himejima looked at Akeno and Kurayami with an interested look.
"Well seems this was a trap. It is very unfortunate that it could not be easy. Greetings, I am Hanezu Himejima as such a relative. Hand over the girl, you two as Himejima know that the family will try to kill you." Shin was growling and Kurayami smirked. "We may share blood yet we are not relatives. While the Himejima may want to hurt my family I will kill them all if they try."
Agusta began to laugh and she looked at Shin. "What is that? That is not one of the four fiends is it? From what I heard you were born with Incinerate Anthem." Akeno looked at the ground and noticed the shadows were moving under Agusta and back to her brother. Esdeath looked at the Utsusemi and knew they were of no threat. Raynare brought out her scythe who craved blood. TYhey just saw this as a little warm up.
Hanezu smiled and beside him walked Sae. At her side was a big black lion which caught the eye of Kurayami. His team all saw that and sighed as it seemed it was never enough. Kurayami moved his neck from side to side popping his neck.
"So who is up? I would like to test out my new Balance Breaker if you don't mind. However, is anyone interested?" Raynare stepped forward. "Me and Viritra have gotten something. The blood of Ares really kicked started Viritra." Around her coiled Viritra. "It's about time you got a Balance Breaker. Although it is new and you might not be able control it."
They looked at the girl walking forward and Hanezu grinned. "The dragon king Viritra himself. Seems the rumors of your return are not lies." Virita looked at him with an uninterested gaze. "The dead do not speak. Raynare do it." She smiled. "BALANCE BREAKER. "WAR DRAGON'S OVERBOOSTER." Around her formed a pitch black armor with red highlights through it.
Around her surged massive amounts of black and gold flames and many tendrils surged around her. Kurayami waved his hand and made a massive wall of holy fire. "I would leave if I were you. None of you care resist this kind of curse." It was true as the cursed flames of Viritra could not distinguish between friend and foe. He was a unique case of Incinerate Anthem was the best counter to it.
They canceled each other out and it got a power boost after fusing with Canis Lycaon. However none of them retreated. Esdeath smirked. "You think my ice abilities are for nothing?" Raynare charged ahead and her tendrils were elike spears impaling the Utsusemi like they were tofu. Agusta sent Walburga away and stepped forward.
Night Reflection was a high tier sacred gear and she had pushed it to its limit causing it to become a sub species in it's awakened state. The shadows moved with her will and even the flames of Viritra were redirected away from her and toward Raynare's group. However the wall of holy flames messed that up.
She was just out matched even as the second Witch of the east, Longinus, were just too broken. "Balance Breaker. Enchantress of the dark." Around her body formed a black robe that gave her the intangible properties of the shadows along with boosting her control over the shadows to a further degree.
She used the shadows to use Viritra's flames to attack with, but doing so she risked cursing herself. She used the shadows to form spears, lances and she used magic circles to produce flames, ice, and lightning. Sadly she was just outmatched. Her boosting the sacred gear to this level is as good as she can be. Raynare got bored and began to use the death aura and instantly the Utsusemi surrounding her were killed.
Esdeath walked forward and the flames split around her as her freezing aura was going wild. 40 Utsusemi rushed toward her and she slowly drew her rapier and vanished the utsusemi were torn to shreds and from behind Lavnia formed a 3 meter tall ice doll that gave off ice at a similar level to Esdeath.
Agusta was going to retreat as she was out matched, but Kurayami was not letting her go. He saw this as a good chance to try it out. He might go insane, but madness is just the first step to power. HE snarled and began to chant.
"I cheer at the slaying of one thousand humans. Revel in the slaying of ten thousand goblins. My name, immersed in deepest darkness, I am the Imitation of God in the Polar Night. You who perishes by my own black blade, Fools you are. oh deformed blade. Night Celestial Slash Dogs." A dense black aura covered both Shin and Kurayami.
Even Raynare was forced to stop and pulled back along with the entire team. Vali looked at his rival and grinned. 'Damn bastard is strong.' Kurayami's body took the form of a large werewolf-like canid with 7 pairs of black feathered wings, 6 black tails and Shin became a large dog with a black and red blade in his mouth.. The control over the shadows that Agusta had was robbed from her and her own Balance Breaker began to rip her apart.
From the shadows hundreds of swords emerged killing all the Utsusemi except for the black lion. Hanezu shook his head. "Not possible. You can't have two." He looked at Shin and noticed the small black cross on its neck and saw one form around Kurayami's neck. Two swords appeared in his hands. One was the Rebellion and the other was from Shin.
Kurayami moved at a speed that made it looked like he teleported and he knew he only had a 1 minute in this form as he felt the will of the sword and Lycon trying to enter his mind. He had mastered the Incinerate Anthem, but serpete Avatar types could be dangerous. He didn't care and he would master this power. As he moved, Utsusemi were cut to pieces and impaled by several blades.
Rebellion was roaring in joy as she began to grow stronger and she might be the first newest demonic sword in ages. Kurayami felt Azazel deserved a prize for this. He appeared in front of Augusta and drove his long clawed hand into her chest and she looked down in fear.
He leaned down and looked her in the eyes. "Thanks for powering this for Akeno." She felt her soul and sacred gear being taken from her as it moved to the stronger shadow. He ripped his hand out and held a black orb that was trying to fuse with him. He waved his wings and killed every shingle Utsumi and Hanezu who couldn't even react.
Kurayami undid his transformation and the shadows peeled away and he was breathing heavier as that took its toll on him. He heard a voice come from deep within. "You will is unbreakable. Your blade shall cut everything you desire. Don't lose control." Kurayami ignored it and looked at his group.
Akeno looked at the mass of shadows that he was feeding with his own shadows to improve its power. Vali frowned and walked up to him. "You took them all." Kurayami was holding the passed out Sae while the black lion was cowering behind him. He looked at it and put its head down.
Aurora jumped out of the pact and looked at the bigger lion and jumped in Kurayami's hands. She meowed and understood what she said. "You don't need a lion when you have me." He wanted cowardly Leo for himself, but it was a good power for Sae. He walked up to it and stroked it's mane. "You will behave right?" It growled to say yes.
"Well that is part of it over, however they will definitely have other agents. Lavinia looked at the dead body of Augusta and frowned. "I needed to ask her something." However, an aged voice rang out from her pocket. "Hello. You must be the one who killed Agusta. I am Glenda and may I ask who killed her?" Lavinia was frozen in shock. "Master?" Glenda spoke again. "Lavinia. Well this is a surprise."
Kurayami picked up the gem and scoffed. "I know a snake when I hear one. So you took in Lavinia only to research her sacred gear correct." Lavinia was going to deny it to protect her master, but the next words broke her. "Yes. You must be who killed Agusta. She was a good researcher. I sent her away as she no longer mattered."
Lavinia's world seemed to be broken and she slumped down with a blank look. "Well Glenda, it seems your soul will be a good meal for Shin." The large black dog licked his lips and Glenda had no fear. "Shin? Canis Lycaon?" He crushed the gem and looked at Lavinia. He put her to sleep and picked her up in a prince's carry.
Raynare's helmet was off and she looked very happy and annoyed. That was her time to shine, yet Kurayami just had to show his balance breaker. "Well I called Azazel and they will come here." They left the passed out students and took Sae and Leo with them to Grigori.
