Terror of Azrael and angry Amaterasu

Back at Shuri's house, Azrael was sitting at the table eating some food that Grayfia had cooked for when the others returned. Shuri, Latia, and Walburga were enjoying some of it as well as Grayfia's cooking was exceptional. It caused to Shuri smile at how good the stew was while Azrael seemed pleased.

Latia closed her eyes to appreciate the taste while Walburga carefully ate to not get whacked again. She only liked it when Kurayami did that, Grayfia was just scary. While she was doing that Shuri finally decided to ask something that was on her mind.

She looked at Grayfia and Latia as she wanted to know more about what they felt about him.

"What do you think of my son Grayfia? Latia this goes for you too."

Latia had only known Kurayami for a few hours, but she still gave her take.

"I need more time to accurately describe his character, but from what I can see he is a strong-willed young man. He also did not make fun of my hobby and there is the fact he is very handsome. His eyes are also very dashing."

Shuri had to agree as his black and purple contrasting eyes were both scary and beautiful. Not a hint of white remained in his scelera so that pitch-black contrasted with the dark purple of his eyes.

Grayfia paused as she was washing the dishes, but it got her thinking. In the short time, she knew Kurayami, she had seen a few sides of him, but it was still not enough to make a judgment.

"I would say that you are lucky to have a son like him. I have met my fair share of arrogant young Devils and he is nothing like them. I say he is a good man that I am interested in getting to know."

Shuri sighed at her words. Why must her son be so popular with women?

"What do you think of his looks?"

Grayfia nearly dropped the plate in her hands, but she managed to hold onto it.

"He is tall, broad shoulders, very muscular in all the right places, and his eyes are very beautiful. In terms of attraction, I would say he is a very handsome young man."

Latia nodded.

"Everything miss Grayfia said. I like a tall man and he is already that tall at just 13."

Shuri looked at her as she was curious.

"How old are you Latia?"

"Oh, I am 13 as well. I used some time magic to age myself up for appearance's sake a year ago. I got tired of being a kid so I took matters into my own hands. If I wanted I could reverse it as well, but what is the point."

Shuri smiled at her bitterly.

"Must be nice. I keep getting older and I am already 29."

Azrael chortled as he heard that.

"I can just turn you into a Fallen so you don't die before Baraqiel or your son. Now, he may not be my real grandson, but I bet his good looks are from me."

Shuri looked at Raynare's grandfather and Kurayami's grandfather-in-law as he was very tall. He was 6'6 and it was obvious that there were some resemblances. Now she was interested in the important thing.

"So why did my son ask you to guard me? Grayfia was her already and she is in the Satan class."

Azrael explained as he stuffed his face.

"Said he had a bad feeling and before he left asked if I could keep an eye out for you. Raynare loves you like a mother and will marry your son. Why wouldn't I do that? Plus I should offer some of my aid to the family."

Shuri accepted as both those kids looked after her.

"Well, you must be proud of her. She is a great girl and I'm sure she will make my son happy. I already want to be a grandmother, he did say he was having some when he turns 16. I must have set a bad example."

Azrael showed a very calm smile as he thought of his granddaughter and becoming a great grandfather.

"She is my last living relative so I will look after her. If only I was around, my son might be alive."

She was going to say it was not his fault, but it is stupid to say what she didn't know. However, Azrael, Latia, and Grayfia stoped being relaxed as they could feel a disturbance.

Azrael looked at Shuri as she was the most at risl

"Go hide in your room. We got company."

Grayfia put down the plate as she agreed with him.

"Walburga, go with her and look after her."

Latia was going to help, but she felt it was already overkilled. She stood up as she also decided to go with Shuri just to make sure she was safe.

Walburga also did not refuse as she had already run to the room waiting for Shuri. Shuri looked toward where they were looking and obeyed. She had her unborn son to think about and locked herself in the room with Walburga and Latia.

Azrael removed his cloak and took a deep breath.

"Seems these fools have forgotten who I am. Back then my very name drove fear in the hearts of millions. Time for me to claim my title once again."

Grayfia was going to offer her help, but he just waved her off.

"Don't worry about it, I got it."

From his shadow came out a very demonic-looking war scythe again. The giant eye in the middle looked around with rage apparent as it was hungry for more souls. Grayfia shivered the moment when she saw the famous scythe of Azrael.

'The weapon used to kill the original Lucifer.'

"It's time to eat again my friend."

Azrael walked out the door and he smiled. The assassins were all frozen as the scythe gaze made them all want to flee. Titus was going to kill them all as he had gotten stronger since Kurayami had tamed him.

Seeing that Azrael got this, the giant dog sat down as he would watch the slaughter.

"Not only did you come to kill a pregnant woman, but you also want to kill my family. That is something that cannot be forgiven."

The Himejima clan assassins were frozen in fear and the supporters couldn't even flee. He rested the scythe on his shoulder, but while he looked calm he was truly enraged.

Black veins began to pop through his body and Titus who was as big as a house wagged his tail as Azrael now felt like his home. He laid down to watch the cool show that was about to start.

"Nothing will remain when I am through with you."

One devil tried to reason that he was forced, but his head was split diagonally. Azrael had moved faster than any of them could see. Once someone got as strong as him, moving faster than light was easy.

The Devil began to wither and all that remained was dust. The Himejima assassins knew they couldn't run and had to fight. They all began to use what the Himejima was famous for. The Fire Phase lets them draw power from Amaterasu.

However, they did not know just how pissed off she got. She cursed all the members of the attack which made her power burn them. As her own power was sunlight, her curse made them weak to light.

All of them began to scream in pain, but she was not about to let them die. She appeared in a ray of sunlight with crossed arms. They felt that their goddess was here to help them, but the moment she arrived they burned even more.

When the leader of this Himejima clan member saw her face, they froze in terror. It was a hollow gaze of absolute loathing.

"Azrael, might I ask you to leave the Himejima traitors for me? I plan to make an example of them."

They were terrified as they were cursed and still burning.

"Fine, I will kill the rest."

He did not need to be told twice. He moved through all of the rest, cutting them to shreds. A fallen angel tried to flee, but he coughed out blood and looked down. A completely black spear of light went through his heart and he turned to dust.

Azrael at this point looked nothing like he normally did. He looked like death itself as they all screamed in terror. His veins were all black, his eyes as dark as the night and his face looked like a black skull. His sclera was a deep yellow and his scythe formed a big mouth that grinned.

Amaterasu looked at Azrael who had started to calm down. He had left the Himejima clan members as she requested and what she had planned for them was worse than what he was going to do.

"For disobeying my direct orders and getting in my way, I sentence you to an eternity in solar flares."

Her right hand glowed in bright sunlight as she vaporized their bodies, but left their souls intact. Those souls were cursed to forever burn in the power of the sun. Azrael watched what she did and he understood.

"A woman with a crush is always ruthless."

She looked at Azrael with a small smile.

"Was it obvious?"

He nodded.

"Yeah kind of. That brat even seduced you. Now, should I purge the leaders of the Himejima clan or will you do it."

She waved him off.

"You're are free to purge the ones responsible. Leave Sou Himajima alive. I will make an example of him."

Azrael's 16 wings emerged from his back as he shot off toward the Himajima clan. He arrived nearly instantly and he arrived in a show of force. The impact of him landing caused the entire clan to feel the small earthquake he caused.

All the ones who were responsible felt like a scythe was around their necks. Azrael was going to make sure they suffered before they died, but he would leave Suo behind. He needed to suffer the most for this.

Suzaku, who had returned to the Himejima clan, felt that familiar aura and was not affected. She walked out and saw Azrael walking while plants withered and the ground turned to sand.

"Azrael? Please calm your rage. What has happened?"

Azrael explained calmly as he was doing both Kurayami and Amaterasu a favor."

"The clan sent assassins to kill Shuri and the rest. I am here for the souls of the ones responsible. Don't worry, no one innocent will die."

He swung his scythe and 45 people who ordered the event were killed. They pained in agony as when he killed something, he could dictate what they experienced. He claimed their souls as he planned to give them to Kurayami.

Once their souls were in his hands he fused them together into a larger mass of soul energy. Eating souls when you knew how to use that energy was a good way to get stronger.

Susaku was waiting for Amaterasu to arrive which she did, but she did not even care. The goddess turned to look at her with a smile.

"Suzaku."

Susako bowed.

"Yes, my lady."

Amaterasu patted her on the shoulder and decided to ask Kurayami soon.

"You are officially the head of the Himejima family. We need to ensure peace with Grigori and as of this day, the Himejima clan is yours to reform. I plan to meet with Kurayami soon."

Her face did not change much, but Azrael could see that little shine in her eyes.

'Kurayami my boy, I am proud of you. You made her fall in love that quickly.'

Amaterasu dragged Suo with her as she planned to sentence him to a far worse fate than his followers. She rose back up in a ray of sunlight and Azrael flew back. If people did not take him seriously before they most certainly did now.

When he returned he saw Titus sitting in front of the house so that was good. He reached out and pet the Hellhound who only let certain people do that.

"You could have handled it, but I got this."

Titus wagged his tail as he liked praise. When he opened the door he saw Grayfia, Shuri, Walburga and Latia had already exited the room. Grayfia most certainly could have protected Shuri, but he had to make a point.

"Shuri. Amaterasu just made Susaku the next Himejima head."

Hearing that made her sigh in relief.

"She was always the perfect one for it. What happened?"

He sat down as he explained.

"Some Devils, Fallen and Himejima clan members wanted to kill you to start a war or something. I killed the planners, but this house is not safe. You need to move to the Underworld closer to Grigori.

She accepted the advice

"Your right. I will start packing."

Grayfia stopped her before she got up.

"You are pregnant and should be relaxing. I and Walburga will do it."

"Me?"

Grayfia glared at her which made her laugh nervously.

"Yes, leave it to us."

Latia stood up as she decided to help as well.

"I will also help. I can't sit here all day while you two work after all."

The three of them packing some stuff for Shuri with magic made them do it in only a few minutes. Once they were finished they took Shuri to Grigori where she could wait for her family.

Kurayami was oblivious to this and waited for his father. Tyrant flew back and he noticed the dragon looked pissed. Koga looked at the massive dragon and held his gauntlet to enter his balance breaker.

Shigune stopped him.

"No. He is Kurayami's."

He stopped and when Tyrant landed he began to roar and make many sounds. He was telling what he heard and hearing that made Kurayami pissed.

"Extradimenisonal entities? Satanael made a pact with something from another dimension and gained great power did he?"

Tyrant nodded. He could speak normally he did not like to. He felt speaking in beast tongue as his master could understand him all along.

Kurayami got into deep thought as he was going to experiment with it in time. Hearing that he said made everyone a little interested. Raynare turned to look at him with a questioning look on her face.

"What kind of thing is an extradimensional entity?"

Kurayami shrugged.

"I have no clue, but it is from another dimension. Satanael wants to kill me to take Shin and Incinerate Anthem. Tyrant told me that he needs 3 years as if he fights now he will die. He also said that Satanael claims to be able to fight Azrael."

Esdeath scoffed at the idea.

"He couldn't get any stronger with out selling his soul or something? Don't tell me your are scared Kurayami?"

She hugged his neck tight as she licked his cheek. Her eyes were glowing a little as she continusuly drained the power of the Demon sealed in her Longinous. Her face was red as she was getting truly excited.

"Don't get weak on me now."

Kurayami moved his arm behind her as he drew her close. She loved when he was dominant just as she liked when she was butchering people.

"Scared, is a feeling I am incapable of feeling. I say bring it, I will show him who he is messing with."

Kouki scoffed as he looked away.

"Get a room you two."

Tobio patted him on the back.

"Jealousy is a slippery slope to fall into."

Kouki spat on the ground as he walked away. Raynare shook her head at the display of her friend. She pulled on her collar a little to get her attention.

"You are normally ratherly this forward. Something got you excited."

Esdeath did not let go of Kurayami, but she explained something she had not said before.

"Well in the time that I have been effectively eating the Demon sealed inside my Longious, I learned something. Demon magic, is very diffrent from the magic of this world so I think Demons are not from this world. When was the last time you saw a Demon?"

That got them thinking as it was true. Lavinina thought about it and made conclusion.

"If that is true, it explains why Demons every time they appear they are always caused huge damage. Mephisto told me this story when I was younger. He told me that in the year 600, he was doing some research he summoned and killed a Demon."

Kurayami was now interested as the Demon sealed in Esdeath took God to kill and seal it. That was one Demon, but the one Mephisto killed must have been of a lower rank.

"Lavinina, do you know what he did with it?"

She nodded as she explained to him

"Oh, he claimed it's soul and ate it. Eating souls is always a way to gain quite a bit of strength as it streghtens your own soul. By eating that Demon's soul, he gained a lot of power and knowledge into them . You should talk to him if you want to know more."

Annabeth now was interested.

"I can ask my mother about this is you are interested?"

Kurayami agreed.

"I will visit soon so you can come with me."

Just as they were talking Baraqiel and Vali returned with some nervous looks. Kurayami looked at them and wave dit off.

"Don't worry about what is a maybe and just focus on getting stronger. If he is going to kill me in three years, it means I got three years to prepare."

Baraqiel let Kurayami know what Satanael had planed.

"Kurayamui, Satanel said that there is an attack to kill Shuri. Even if Azrael if there, we should head back."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth the hairs on Shin's body were raised as Kurayami's eyes turned bloodshot. Everyone around him thought he was going to go Berserk, but as if all of it was a illusion he calmed down.

"No use getting angry now. Azrael and Grayfia are there and grandmother won't let this standing down. They are in for it now."

Esdeath, Kuroka, Raynare, and Akeno were especially pissed. Shuri was important to them as even Esdetah would have killed the entire Hiemijima clan if anything happened to her. Kurayami waved them off as he found something interesting.

"Go without me. I got something to do"

Eveyrone was confused so Aneo asked him about it.

"What is it, brother?"

He just patted her silky hair.

"I found something to steal."

They all sighed and yet they all teleported back leaving him, Tyrant and Shin alone.

"Hey, bud. You feel that?"

Tyrant growled in agreement and Shin nodded. Kurayami was quite interested i stealing that shiny little thing.

"Loot."

They all walked opposite where two people were watching from the peak of a mountain a short distance away. They were agents from the Vatican, David Cerro and his pupil Freed Selzen.

They didn't take part in the recent fight but decided to watch patiently. To wait and see so they had used a telescope to observe the battle between both groups opposed to the church. As he looked away from the telescope, David muttered to himself.

"From a glance, I saw White Dragon Emperor, Divine Dividing, Canis Lycaon, Demon Extract, so those 4 Longinus gathered at a single spot huh. What is the deal with that dragon? Is this the act of God? I have comprehended the situation. We will retire now, Freed."

Little did he know, he missed 2 more wrapped on a dog's neck and was not summoned.

David spoke to his pupil who took notes for him. Around his pupil were the disfigured figures of several corpses lying. The were magicians of Oz who had attacked David and Freed. Having been on the lookout for church officials they had rushed here, but they were met a gruesome game.

David spoke to Freed who was unsheathing a sword of light from the corpse of a female magician.

"Even if we get rid of this many underlying heretics and witches, it shouldn't be a problem should it."

Freed had an insane smile on his face and responded to his master.

"Hey hey, boss. I mean, that earlier aura was from Longinus right. Well, if that's the honest truth, they probably got killed easily."

He meant when Kurayami nearly went into a rage-induced Balance Breaker.

"Those were blessings created by our God, but due to the humans they dwell within being random we can't have them all. If they lack piety, it will lead to these sorts of consequences. As expected, the Longinus ought to be controlled by us believers."

However, he felt a hand grab his shoulder strongly that started to hurt.

"That what you think, priest."

He froze in fear and he could barely move. Freed was being held by Tyrant's hand and Shin was making blades through the area. The boy was enraged and bit down on the scales of Tyrant that did not even tickle the Dragon King.

"LET ME GO BEAST!"

Kurayami wrapped his arm around David like they were friends.

"So only the believers of God deserve sacred gears. Kind of conceited, don't you think? By the way, the nearest elementary school is over 50 kilometers away. Oh, I see. Little Timmy here is your personal church boy."

Kurayami backed away and let David look back. He was both angry and terrified.

"You dare threaten a blade of the church."

Kurayami titled his head and nodded.

"Yeah. I dare. Who are you? Wait let me guess, a priest. Look, I am dressed like a priest, minus the obvious pedophilia."

David ground his teeth and drew his holy sword Galatine.

"That's cute."

He summoned Rebellion and Submission and when David saw them he was driven to his knees. The aura from both swords was comparable to Kurayami himself which paralyzed him in terror.

Before he could talk Kurayami hit him with the pommel right in the throat. He passed out so Kurayami picked up Galatine. It accepted him as it felt Incinerate Anthem.

"I can also wield holy swords? Hey, Timmy, want to join us, Fallen?"

Freed glared at him with anger.

"MY NAME IS NOT TIMMY!"

Kurayami nodded as he remembered in his past life as he killed many of the sick fucks of the Church. He did not respect religion at all as they had made his early years a living Hell.

"I am sorry. How often has he used you for his sick pleasure. I can earase those awful memories from your mind if you pleased.

Freed was getting even madder.

"NEVER!"

Kurayami looked at David.

"So he is not a pedophile?"

Freed was shocked.

"NO!."

'Really? I thought all priests were pedophiles.'

"Seems I misunderstood something. Take a nap."

Freed was knocked out and Kurayami made a sword with a note written on it. He decided to be honest some to draw him out.

"Michael, their has been a change in the relation between Grigori and the Devils. We are persuing a military alliance and I would like to add Heaven to it. We may need to as well as a mad lunatic is trying to bring a Eldtrich horror into this world.

P.S: You can have Galetine if you give me a cool pet. Sorry, not sorry.

-Sincerely Kurayami. Next head of Grigori, grandson-in-law to Azrael."

David and Freed would not remember a thing. Only the sword and note stuck and the fact that Galatine was gone. This would draw Heaven's attention for real as Michael knew about some of the knowledge God knew. This was truly bad for all involved if it was true.
