Chapter 63 - Battle Part 4: Counter!

Prior to Issei fight with nightmare, the rest of his lover where occupied in observing their enemy who remained sitting in his floating throne with a hooded figure beside him. Kokabiel looking down below him as he began summon dozens of magic light to entertain him.

All of them acted quickly with Rias going offensive creating barrage of destruction sphere then blast them towards Kokabiel but he had thick barrier protecting him. The barrier was clearly not his as it was impossible when Rias and the rest excluding Irina and Xenovia are comparable to a S ranked Super class much stronger than her Big brother due to Issei.

"We need to break the barrier but wary of the person beside him. Issei mention enemy that Kokabiel may be in contact with."(Rias)

Rias explained while Yuumi and Tsubaki appeared in the air where Kokabiel was, then slash their weapon at the thick barrier but it did nothing beside stopping their attack. Kokabiel smirk from their effort then rose his hand charging small energy then shot them towards the two who sense the danger quickly evade.

The next moment a powerful explosion causing massive mushroom cloud to from the sheer power. They were surprised but remain calm knowing it was the Dark Apostle doing that enhances Kokabiel power.

"Hahahaha what little devil? You think I would be as weak as that bastard of the past? This power which I am bestow shall be your end!!"

He dissappear from his throne then reaapeared beside yuumi who barely evade then was blown away to the ground where Rias and the rest was. They scream in concern but Kokabiel reappeared where they were instantly moved to attack. Gasper used her time stopped freezing Kokabiel in place then Valerie appeared created dozen of astral clones.

'Soul destruction fighting technique!'

Every astral form could be considered as soul therefore with her Sephiroth Graal fuse with her body and adding the astral clone allowed her to reform them. She performed a barrage of whip like attack despite her bulky armor.

It was gif that came from Vandalieu due to their compatible she was gifted unique magic which are Dark king Mage, Hollow king mage and Soul destruction fighting technique. It all related with the power over death except hollow king mage which is compress magical energy that could distort any space.

'Hollow bullet! Death bullet! Negating impact barrier! Whip strike!!'

The other clones charged dark miasmic aura while another was just gathering the mana that gradually distorted the space. The original body took a step back as her astral clone blast the spell into the time freeze Kokabiel.

Upon contact the time stopped was remove by the Hollow bullet but Kokabiel able to face the attack yet upon the death bullet his body quickly losing life as it absorb his vitality from his very soul.

"Yuumi, Irina and Xenovia attack!!"

They nodded as Yuumi slash her blade summon countless sword while Xenovia did numerous power slashes with her durandal and Irina use her blade to send wave of attack.

Kokabiel able to disburse the hollow bullet but was met with the numerous blade. He held out his hand to destroying them with his power yet met with Xenovia and Irina power slashes wounding him.

"Damn pest!!! Don't get full of yourself just because you wound me!!"

He increased his power moving faster than before attacking Asia who was constantly healing them but was meet with Yuumi and Akeno attack causing him to evade. Kokabiel then stopped the two sword that was going to slash at him with his finger tips.

"Is this all you got!?"

"Nope!"

[DIVIDE!DIVIDE!DIVIDE!DIVIDE!]

Kokabiel felt his body grew finger as his face was met with Vali fist blowing him away through the mountains. He was able to stand up then instantly return to Vali who was still in her punching pose leaving her open. Kokabiel smirk and was about to grab her face when a spinning burning wheel stopped him.

It burn his soul and flesh causing him to scream in agony but was shut by a powerful punch enhances by touki blowing him away.

"Its really easy to used senjustu with this sacred gear nya~"

"I agree Ise-senpai work hard making them."

"We should focus at task hand. It worrying me that person hadn't moved."(Rias)

She looked at the sky where the hooded figure watches the battle from above seemingly amused. It hadn't even flinch a single muscle doesn't have any plan on moving.

Rias continued to observed by change her attention at Kokabiel who was more troublesome as before. Kokabiel came back with his power tripled moving faster and agile than before.

He landed an attack at Irina piercing through her stomach but it instantly repaired due Asia constant healing from behind them. Her balance breaker show it's worth when it is life and death battle.

"You disgusting nun!!! Die!!"

He teleported to Asia who was wide opened but it quickly stopped by Sona used her water manipulation to send large leviathan water to attack Kokabiel being carried by it's enormous jaw.

"Absolute zero!"

Sona instantly freezing the leviathan along with Kokabiel getting trapped in the eyes looking at her with rage in his eyes. He quickly tried to escaped but the site was quicker.

"Shatter!!"

Upon her words it pulverized the ice sculpture turning into ice dust. Her water and ice manipulation was capable of freezing inside and out of a person essentially turning everything into ice. She had another balance breaker but Issei sealed it because it was too powerful.

"Nice work, Sona. I think that is guy is no more."(Rias)

"I barely manage to saved Asia but thankfully I got in time."

"Maybe we should do battle again in rating game."

"You surely jest. I think making you join the rating again would be unfair considering how strong you getting and how fast it is."

"Well how about spar and winner gets Issei for one night alone?"

"Deal."

"You guys are too lax. Anyway, the a shard is still alive, look!" (Vali)

Vali pointed at the ice shard gathering then instantly appeared was Kokabiel but his aura became much more menacing with Twelve wings spread. Before they could act he swiftly close the distance appearing in front of the two areas but was saved by Vali first.

It cause powerful gush of winds blowing away the people close by but Kokabiel was still standing unfazed by Vali strike. She then felt her abdomen being strike and saw Kokabiel impacted it causing her cough out blood. Before she can get flung was grabbed by the head then slammed into the ground.

The rest quickly tried to subdue Kokabiel with Koneko, Yuumi and Valerie used their close combat seeing as it would risk Vali from being in the blast if they used spells.

["Counter!"]

Kokabiel monstrous voice roared when Valerie, Koneko and Yuumi felt their own strike severely wounding them in the process. They were quickly dispatch by Kokabiel doing multiple strike into their body blowing them into the air.

"What!? How did they gotten wounded!? I didn't even sense him moving!?"

"Hahaha how unfortunate that the Fools lover couldn't understand what's going on."

They all looked at the hooded figure while the wounded where teleported to Asia where she healed them but it took longer than normal. The hooded figure spoke clearly a woman's voice but accompanied by distortions.

"Can you elaborate?"(Rias)

"Oh its quite simple all of your damage and attack was countered by Kokabiel. Its fascinating that you kept increasing his power with your attack. Well thank you for giving me the most powerful puppet. Go now Kokabiel kill them all!"

"Gaah!! Damn you!! What's going on!!! How dare you betray me!!!!"

Kokabiel body screamed in pained as the [Chaos] within his body was eroding everything. He could feel an agonizing pained as if being skin alive and burning a the same time. Black mucus leaked from his eyes and mouth as he fall into his knee becoming a slave to the outer gods.

"Oh my you are merely a pawn for my master plan. Which doesn't include useless lower lifeform such as you. Oh wait he can't hear me anymore."

What Kokabiel had become was monstrous that radiate immense negative energy that wither every life in the dimension. He doesn't resemble anything than his original and appeared to be pitch black dragon with long body having four arms at the upper part while the rest was like an insect legs.

"ROOAAARRR!!!!!"
