[Talking through the mind]

Chapter 14: New Discoveries

"Come with me" Azazel not giving Kokabeil any chance to retort was immediately dragged back to Grigori and was put in the medical ward to heal his wing.

Even though he may never get it back it's better than nothing. Sitting in his office he waits for Kokabeil to show up. Opening the door and looking at Azazel he tries but ultimately fails to hide the ever increasing hate that he has harboured for Kuro.

"Sit down we have to talk about things" Pointing to a chair Azazel waits before continuing to speak, "What do you think your doing going after him? You could've jeopardized our whole war efforts".

Despite knowing the answer himself he wants to hear it from Kokabeil. "Because he's disrespecting the pride of our fallen! Are we just meant towards this go and forever be seen as the weakest" He shouts indignantly, upset at the fact that people view them as weak and as Cannon fodder.

Hearing what he said Azazel sighs and starts asking him questions, one after another. "How confident are you of winning? What would you have lost even if you did beat him? Did you even have a backup plan? Did even know his power?".

Waiting for an answer for any of them questions he's not surprised to hear nothing as he knows Kokabeil did none of those things.

"While you were sulking around like a child throughout tantrums I actually did research and I can say with confidence you would've lost."

Kokabeil gearing this was livid. He hated being told that he was weak and had no chance but before he could even speak up he was interrupted.

"The reason you would've lost is that he has powers akin to Gods, sure he is nowhere near a gods level right now but at the end of the day a gods power is a gods power." He continues by saying, "He has powers similar to those old death gods but different, I dont know how different but the fact that he has the power of a top 10 strongest being is not to be put lightly."

Hearing what he has said Kokabeil is surprised but still asks, "Why didnt you kill him then? You definitely have the power to do so."

Azazel answers by saying, "Because if I go after him our fallen will be easy pickings for anyone to come destroy, that's why I'm disappointed that I had to come and save you when you could've done research or asked me"

Not wanting to waste his breathe anymore with pointless stuff he finishes by saying, "I'm going to be monitoring you so you dont do anything stupid" And walks away hearing Kokabeil rage and smash up his office. 'Sigh I need a new office now what a pain'

(Back to Kuro)

Taking deep breathes to calm down his erratic heart so he doesnt do anything stupid he manages to do so but the traces of madness and insanity become more apparent when people look at him.

Teleporting to a random place he sees that he near what looks to be an empire. Scoffing he destroys the gate and the surrounding guards, picking up the dead guard he tries to mess with his soul to see if he can do anything with it but is interrupted by what looks to be a group of magicians.

Scowling he freezes them in place and makes a weakened zombie to eat them alive slowly while the others watch. Nodding satisfied to him self he was going to continue when he sees a group of interesting people who despite being magicians have what he recalls are sacred gears.

Not minding the group pleading for help he walks towards the other group interested in their sacred gears when hes stopped by what looks to be the leader.

She was a tall, beautiful, and slender woman with long, light blue hair and blue eyes. She wore a General's apparel with long sleeves with buttons on the upper arms, a blue scarf on her neck, and high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest, which is the sign of her sacred gear.

"Stop I'm going to have to take you in or you can not comply and make my day" She spoke arrogantly daring him to do something.

Looking at her like shes delirious he shakes his head and says, "Who are you? Get out of my way, no.. matter of fact I'll just kill you to."

Not liking the tone she takes he was going to kill her and her subordinates when he wanted to test something. Looking at the marking on her chest he is intrigued in its uses. Grabbing a young girl, she has short black hair in a twintail style and black eyes. She also wears a black uniform and wears a red belt that has a red side skirt cover. Her shirt is slightly too short as it doesn't cover her belly button. She also wears red gauntlet.

"Kurome!"

"Hand her over!"

"Stop!"

They all shout one by one but it's in vain as it falls on deaf ears. Seeing who was taken the leader obviously becomes shaken up and unleashes a massive area of affect attack to freeze the whole war to boost her capabilities.

Still keeping the girl hostage he watches how it all unfolds impressed.

It's normal for a magician to do this but not to the extent that they can boost their own capabilities. Not wasting time he is planning on taking her and her group away to see if the sacred gears have anything to do with souls and if he can take them.

Knocking out the girl now identified as Kurome he turns to the leader and says, "Follow me or I'll kill your subordinates before you can do anything" Looking at her in the eyes he waits for an answer.

The leader looks indecisive, she could either fight to the death or she could risk the death of the comrades she cares about. Watching as he slowly sinks his hand in Kurome's neck she comes to a decision as says this, "Fight me in a 1v1 and if you win I'll go with you but if you loose you become my slave."

Hearing what she says his hands tighten for second on Kurome's neck before relaxing. Knowing that when dead they're scared gear disappears he humours her. From his estimates she should be the same level as him but he should be superior with his type of power.

Its like fire against ice and water against fire. It's just that the power of death is above the spectrum of basic elements and triumphs against them all.

Throwing the girl away roughly he crosses his arms and says, "Sure I'll humor you to see your place" Watching her walk around him for an opening he shakes his head and says, "I'll give you a free attack to use against me and I wont retaliate"

Clenching her fists at the disrespect shown to her she plans to use her trump card. Her trump which allows her to freeze time, which gives her a moment to make a move during its effects. She doesn't use this often as using this Trump Card uses too much of her energy which is why she can only use it once a day.

Unleashing her spell she watches everything including time freeze except for herself. Knowing she wont be able to last long she prepares to attack Kuro when she feels a tap on her shoulders causing her to kneel down and cough out blood.

Turing around she sees no one there but looking back up she sees Kuro staring intently at her, examining her before smiling and nodding before laughing uncontrollably for a while before he calms down, but the smile still doesnt leave his face.

"Good, that was spendid plus it proved a theory of mine and proved something to me so be grateful and follow me" Dragging her up he looks her over and says, "What's your name?"

"Esdeath" She answers lost in her own thoughts of how he break through time itself. Not knowing that that man himself didnt know until she used the spell.
