Kufa vs. Chaos Edge Sieg

Siegfried.

Not only is he one of the leaders of the Hero Faction during canon but he's a master swordsman.

During the Kyoto arc he played around with Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina like they were children, and those three weren't weak at all by that time.

If that wasn't bad enough this guy is an artificial human crafted from the DNA of the original Siegfried, which allows him to wield the strongest demonic sword in existence. The dragon-slaying sword Gram. That's not even mentioning his other demonic swords, or his subspecies sacred gear and its balance break that was literally tailor made for the guy.

He is by far one of the strongest humans in the entire series.

But at this very moment I have no clue how strong he is.

I have a rough estimate, but that's it. Unless we actually clash I won't be able to tell for sure.

And as much I want to kill this guy, I can't do anything rash. From the looks of things Siegfried is still faithfully serving the church and hasn't turn tail and abandoned it yet. So if I kill one of the church's most promising young exorcist they and the angels are going to be riding my ass, and since I want to stay as covert as possible with my movements for the foreseeable future I need to play this very carefully.

Once again, politics suck ass.

But that's the breaks when your a faction leaders kid.

I turned my gaze directly to Siegfried. "I assume that you are the leader, am I correct?"

"You are." He said. "My name is Siegfried."

"Like the legendary hero?" I questioned. Even though I already know the answer.

"Yes." Siegfried answered. "But enough with the twenty-questions in the name of the church I demand that you hand that werewolf you have there over to us. He has killed several of our people and we would like to ask him why."

I sighed, knowing this was coming. I then looked at Dominque and Chess for a moment, and they simply smiled at me. Letting me know they would follow my lead.

This girls, sometimes I think they are too good for me.

Putting a small smile on my face I turned back to Siegfried, and instantly donned a neutral expression. "Sorry, but what proof do you have that the werewolf we've captured is the one responsible for the death of your exorcists? Show me something and I'll gladly hand him over. Otherwise you will have to go through official channels. Because once again you are dangerously close to progenitor faction territory, and if you come any closer then I will have no choice but to deal with you all in the appropriate manner." I coldly said, spreading my power out for the exorcist to feel.

Some of them backed down, but over half of them didn't. As for Siegfried he actually got a feral smile on his face.

I guess even now he's a battle maniac.

One of the exorcist stepped forward, a female. She then pointed her finger at the werewolf. "He...he murdered my sister!" She shouted with rage.

I looked at her. "Again, what proof do you have? How do you even know it was a werewolf in the first place?"

"We found werewolf DNA." A male exorcist spoke up.

"Ok, but that doesn't mean it matches this guy." I said, pointing to our friend in the ice prison. "Basically all you have is speculation and no actual proof. So since that's the case I'm going to have to ask you to leave the area immediately. If you had caught him first then there would be no problem, but its as they say first come, first serve. So bye."

"We aren't leaving." The female exorcist said.

"Yes, you are." I said.

"No, wer-"

"Bitch did I stutter?!" I shouted at her, aiming my power and bloodlust in her direction Even though she is older than me.

I will not allow anyone to talk down to me, no matter who it is.

The woman buckled to her knees as sweat started racing down her body. I paid it no mind and looked at her with cold eyes. "Sorry, what were you saying again, I couldn't quite hear that. Maybe you should repeat the question? Come on, what were you saying just now?"

"T...that we are going to leave." She managed to get out.

"That's what I thought. My mistake." I said. I then stopped pressuring her, allowing her to return to her feet.

I then turned my gaze to Siegfried once more. "So as I just said, have a good trip back? And don't stray from the path, otherwise the monsters will get you."

"That's rich coming from you." Siegfried told me.

"I could say the same of you." I told him.

The two of us then locked eyes, our energies beginning to clash.

But that only lasted for a moment before one the exorcist aimed his gun at Dominque.

"Fuck this shit!" He snarled. "Let's just kill these blood-sucker and take the werewolf by f-"

He didn't get to say another word. Not before I moved in front of him and removed his head from his body with my blade, a cold look in my eyes as I did so.

He dared to point his gun towards my woman.

What a fool.

The exorcist were stunned. They didn't react at all until their comrades severed head and body landed in the snow, dying it crimson.

When this happened they all turned their weapons on me and the others.

But it's not like they can actually hurt us.

Standing up I looked at Dominque and Veronica an apologetic smile on my face. "Sorry I got a bit riled up there. But from now on I will keep my cool."

"Well, so long as you understand." Dominque mused.

"I do. Sorry." I said. "So anyway, don't kill them. If we do it will turn into a bigger mess. Other than that, go wild." I said.

"Fucker, stop ignoring us!"

"Such arrogance!"

"Are you blind, are you blind!?"

The mob exorcists hurled insults at me but I ignored them. I then faced Siegfried again, gathering my power.

When I did he didn't even waste a moment. He reached under his coat and pulled out his signature weapon.

Gram.

Planting its blade in the snow he grinned wider than before. "Looks like you killed one of my men. Now I have to avenge his death. Part of our code, I'm sure you understand."

"Don't lie you battle maniac." I said. "You've wanted to clash with me since the moment you arrived. Just admit it."

"As a man of the cloth that would be blasphemy." Siegfried said. "I am above such things," he said, lying his ass off smoothly.

"Whatever you say. Let's do this." I said.

"Yes, let's." Siegfried said. He then picked Gram up out of the snow and came swinging at me.

Meanwhile I charged at him swinging my blade, our two weapons colliding against each other, creating a shockwave that blew away the snow in the area 20 meters in all directions.

We both jumped back, smiles on our faces. "You've got some power there." I commented.

"Of course, I am the strongest swordsman in the world after all." Siegfried mused.

'Well someone sure is full of themselves.' I thought.

"But even so, I must commend you. You blocked an attack from my weapon after all." Siegfried said. "However that's not going to happen again."

"You sound so sure." I mused.

"Of course, for this weapon is Gram. The strongest demonic sword. And I will use it to cleave you in two." Siegfried said, putting a bloodthirsty grin on his face.

"Ah, ah, Mr. Exorcist. that's not a smile you should be making, it looks like your true colors are showing." I mused.

Siegfried charged at me, either not caring what I said, or caring enough to attack me.

Either way I swung up my blade and parried another blow from him.

I then raised my left foot and kicked him in the chest, causing him to skid back along the ground for a few feet. But he quickly sopped himself.

Once he did he reached into his coat and pulled out his light sword, activating it. He then crossed his blades and charged me once more.

Siegfried closed the distances and stared send out slash attack in all directions. Up, down, side to side, he even added a few thrusts as well.

But I used my blade to parry them all, and I also conjured ice to block any cuts from the light blade. Even if I am a dhampir that shit still hurts.

As I was dealing with their leader the other exorcists went for our werewolf friend.

Or at least they tried too. The por fools. I pity them.

Before any of them could even get close Dominque appeared in front of them and jabbed the butt of her sword into one of their stomachs, sending the female exorcist flying into a tree, causing her to fall unconscious upon impact.

Her comrades seeing this they focused on Dominque.

One of them used their light gun to shoot at her legs, while another circled behind and tried to attack with their light sword.

It's not a bad plan, it just wasn't good enough.

Dominque turned her entire body into a swarm of bats, avoiding the bullets. She then instantly reformed behind the enemy that tried to attack her from behind and slammed the hilt of her blade into his spine, causing him to curl up and fall onto the ground in utter agony.

She just dislocated his spine by the way, she didn't paralyze him.

We've been trained know the difference between those two techniques.

Anyway, after landing Dominque pivoted on her left foot and appeared before the exorcist who shoot at her feet. She then brought up her right leg and kicked him straight in the chin, sending him flying a few feet into the air before he came crashing down.

Once he did Dominque appeared beside him and kicked him in the head, the blow knocking him out.

Again we have been trained to make sure we don't kill with these strikes, so don't try this at home kids.

Moving on, after taking down three exorcist Dominque regrouped with Chess.

But seeing that friends played with my a teenage girl so easily the other exorcists laid down their weapons.

Which is the best choice they had made tonight.

Finding an opening in Siegfried's guard I punched him in the chest, causing him to skid back once more.

But this time he was prepared.

A silver arm grew out of his right shoulder-blade. The arm then reached into his coat and threw a light sword directly at me.

That's when I activated [The World].

To be honest I could easily dodge the sword, and I wanted to test my swordsmanship skills against Siegfried, but there is also something else I want to try and prove. Which is why I activated [The World].

As time came to a halt I stepped out of the path of the blade and looked at Siegfried.

He was frozen in time, but that was only for a few more seconds before he suddenly started moving on his own, even though I haven't deactivated [The World].

Which proves my theory.

Legendary demonic swords allow one to move through frozen time, just like legendary holy swords do.

During the Peace Summit Arc when Gasper was captured by the magicians of the Khaos Brigade and forced to use his power, Xenovia and Kiba managed to avoid being frozen in time thanks to their weapons, which were holy in nature. So I wanted to see if the same effects applied to demonic swords, and Siegfried moving freely at the moment proves it.

"What, what the hell is this?" Siegfried asked, looking around as everything but the two of us was frozen in place.

"Nothing you need to worry your little head about." I said. I then deactivated [The World] and time resumed.

When I did Siegfried looked at me. "Quite an interesting trick you've got there."

"I'm a man of many mysteries, but then again so are you." I said. "I can tell you're holding back."

"Pot calling the kettle black, but whatever." Siegfried. He then stood to his feet. "Now then, allow me to show you my true power." He cried. "Balance B-"

Before Siegfried could finish we were surrounded on all sides by members of my faction. Urd has also made an appearance, so that means the fun is over.

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Urd walked up. "Exorcist, leave this place at once. Otherwise you may start a war you cannot win." He said, allowing his power to spread for good measure.

And boy is he strong. He really does deserve his title of second progenitor.

Seeing the situation at hand Siegfried returned his swords to his coat and retracted his sacred gear. He then looked at his comrades. "Everyone we are leaving. Collect the wounded and let's get a move on."

The remaining exorcists nodded. They then collected their wounded and started to leave.

Siegfried walking in the back to make sure they did.

However he stopped in his tracks for a moment and turned back to look at me. "Our fight was interrupted today, but if we meet again let's finish it. No holding back next time."

"Yes." I said. "Let's do that."

Since we currently are going to meet again.
