Chapter 74 - Hero faction

A young man who had long white hair flowing in the light of midnight wore a He wears a vibrant red sleeved jacket with two long thin tails hanging from the back. Under it is a black shirt with three red belts and a pair of black gloves with a red shell on the backs of the hands.

He also wears a black hakama and steel-toed red boots with a traditional Japanese style sleeveless red turtle neck top, long black gloves that reach to his elbows, baggy black pants, and red shoes.

"So this where they are hiding?"

"Yes, Master. They are taken shelter in this place."

Issei stared at an abandon building sensing few powerful individuals with majority are sacred gear user. Though it was useless as he had full dominances to all sacred gear after sitting on the throne of god. Now he is both controls the Heaven and Sacred system.

He turn to looked at a woman who quickly a machine shone by the panels lines. She had short hair and wearing dark clothes with high thigh boots. Issei sigh since Azazel was the one qho design the perverted mess but he couldn't deny they were beautiful.

"Excellent 2B. You can go return home and tell anything me you want."

"No being of service to is enough."

"No I insist. Its my responsibility as your creator as I don't want seeing thinking that your just a machine. All of you have given life by me."

"…I-I well I do wish to be closer to you father."

"Father?"

"Y-yes you our creator and I would like to call you that."

"Hmm I don't mind sure. Now return and assist Serafall tell her to visit soon."

She nodded disappeared to do her task. Issei sigh thinking about Serafall who had been busy along with Sirzechs to preparing in the upcoming all out battle. He planned to create a magical girl wand sacred gear for her along with for himself as the [Ayin] is best at long ranges battle. A sword was needed.

'I'm still don't know why I force to wear this but hey its look great in me.'

Issei for some reason had to urge to cosplay when meeting the hero faction though the clothes matching his hair. After he finish with the hero faction he'll go to the underworld and enslave Hade along with Thanatos.

Thankfully he had met with the other faction with the help of Amaterasu who had close contact with eastern gods. He manage to restore Shiva and Indra memory allowing them to prepare for battle.

Issei then opened the abandon warehouse and casually walked inside without worry. He was still surrounded by his [Nihility] aura which cause him to be non existence. It was training for himself to maintain and control the amount he can used.

Upon getting inside, he arrived where Cao Cao and the rest of the hero faction were discussing their planned over killing other mythology faction. Issei chuckled how immature and one-sided Cao Cao was in the past which was the reason why his Longinus didn't allow him to bring its full power. A blind hero who doesn't looked at all direction.

"Great plan I think not could go wrong."

He spoke while removed his aura causing everyone to astonished that no one had notices him but they instantly moved to subdue him with Cao Cao brought his spear on Issei face while Jeanne blade blacksmith on his neck and Georg magic was all directed him.

"Who are you and what purpose you come here!?"(Cao Cao)

"I recommend you to speak before something bad happened to pretty boy."(Jeanne)

"Fufufu well this going to be fun. Before I reveal everything why don't we play a bit?"

"I don't know if your confident or stupid but you are surrounded?"(Georg)

"Lets just shut up and beat up until he give us the answer!"(Heracles)

"No, it would be unfortunate if he were to die to early."(Connla)

"…"(leonardo)

"I am interest in his request since its only fair that someone capable of entering this place without us noticing is feat that we can't deny."(Cao Cao)

"Its simple…try to kill me."

In that moment, Issei swiftly elbow strike jeanne at the abdomen pushing her back. He only used a fraction of his strength since it would kill them if more was added. Afterward, kicked the Longinus to flip it then strike onces again sending it towards Cao Cao who manage to evade and grabbed the spear then extend it towards Issei who easily evaded but Heracles arrive to punch him.

At that moment, Issei did a roundhouse kick into Heracles skull then slammed it towards the floor. He then jumped when the shadow below tried to attack him. He surrounded dozens of magic circles blasting an onslaught of magic spell destroying the whole warehouse.

"jeez wasn't it an overkill!?"(Jeanne)

"I believe it was appropriate since what ever his purpose is, its best we eliminate him than letting him gather more info about us."(Georg)

"Damn that hurt's like hell! How can a small guy have so much physical strength!?"(Heracles)

The hero faction turn to see Heracles removing his head on the hard concrete after Issei had slammed his head.

"Hmm how do you describe his strike? I do certainly know his quite agile to be able to avoid my longinus."(Cao cao)

"It's like a mountain striking my face! Dammit! Let me have go again with this guy!?"(Heracles)

"His certainly an interesting opponent."(Siegfried)

Giving their evaluation, they suddenly heard someone coughing and from the dust was Issei unharmed even his clothes didn't have the slightest dust. Georg was shocked since his magic was capable of wounding ultimate class devils.

"Ah so nostalgic! Well I already had my fun here."

Issei then surround himself with magic circles that Georg couldn't recognize but knew they were powerful and complicated runes. It was then everyone paused as memory of the events prior to their pending deaths. Few seconds passed by they finally regain their composure.

"Damn you red dragon!"(Cao Cao)

"W-Wha-Wait wait! I was just having fun! Hey stopped poking that stick at me!"

Cao Cao chase after Issei who tried to evade each thrust of his mighty spear. The rest of the Hero faction chuckled a bit and glad that they had a second chance much earlier. They can now fix their past mistake before it begins. Though the tragedy of the future is troubling but they knew that the future shall be brighter than the past.

_______________________________

After explaining everything that had happened until now made them start their part of the planned of getting stronger to ensure the future. Cao Cao and the rest were given access to his specially made training room.

Georg was interested in the magic Issei used which he gave him permission to go on his library in methods of learning tier magic. Meanwhile, Siegfried is interested in fighting Yuumi and Xenovia once again after his death with the former. Leonardo went to Grigori to get helped in improving his sacred gear.

Jeanne on the hand was interested in spending time with Issei. It was due to Issei holy aura that was leaking after removing his [Nihility]. Of course, it had a mix of Demonic, Holy and Dragon aura but it depends on the people. She who had the spirit of joan d'arc cause her to feel affection towards him. Not that Jeanne wasn't in the past but it was more like close friend.

'Maybe I used the system and remove each of their sacred gear restriction. I'll try it later.'

"Hey Ise-kun can I ask why your hair turn what?"(Jeanne)

"Oh that it's because I have the Pure and True bloodline of the devil king but keep it secret."

"What really!? But why do I feel more a holy aura on you? Aren't a devil?"(Jeanne)

Jeanne doesn't know why she kept trying prolong the conversation but enjoyed their moment. She was shocked to learn his part angel now which made her confused but accepted it since going back in time takes the cake of her confusion.

"Well I need to go into the underworld and get that pesky Hades."

"Oh can I come with you?"

"Are you sure? Well asked Cao Cao then we can go."

After asking permission with her leader which he told that she doesn't need to asked and do whatever she wants. Afterwards both her and Issei went to the underworld.
