Chapter 14

A week and a few days after Harry's birthday, the day for the meeting between heaven, devil, and Yokai faction has finally arrived.

Gabriel was the first to arrive to Kyoto along with three exorcists, Griselda and Xenovia Quarta along with Irina Shidou, as they arrived they had to stop and stare in both fear and awe at the thirteen knight-like massive beings standing in a circle surrounding Yasaka who for this meeting decided to hold it outside in the palace garden.

The three exorcists were speechless while staring at these beings, especially the enormous dragon floating above Kyoto, its spear looked both dangerous and majestic.

Meanwhile, Gabriel stares at both the two knights at Yasaka's sides and at Harry Potter who is sitting beside the leader of the Yokai faction staring at her, she nervously turns her gaze at the two knights closest to the duo, one is leaning against a giant sword-spear staring at her group, its black armor with golden details gives it both a dangerous and a majestic look, the other one who was standing with his strange head like arms crossed, its white armor shinning while its beautiful cape is gently shifting around with the wind, its has its eyes closed she can tell that it was aware of everything around it.

Griselda nervously gulps "Lady Gabriel?...".

Gabriel can only nod in understanding "Yes... these beings are dangerous and absolutely above our power..." she turns her gaze towards the two girls who are still nervously staring at the beings "Xenovia, Irina, please stay quiet and do not do anything hostile ok?".

Both girls gulp but nod albeit nervously while they begin to walk towards where Yasaka is sitting along with Harry, however, all four of them stop when a magic circle manifested not too far away from where they were standing a few seconds ago.

(A few minutes ago)

Serafall was honestly nervous about this meeting, she didn't know if Yasaka would declare war and even though she met Harry Potter once before she was still weary of him, he just has this weird vibe, it's like if you were prey being let to eat its last meal before he pounces at you, it was very unnerving.

However, she has to be at the top of her game today and so she smiled and with a twirl, she teleported with her magic circle to the meeting, she appeared and 'in her honest opinion' struck an awesome magical girl pose as she finished teleporting, only to sweatdrop at the deadpans she was receiving from everyone, {Is that Gabriel clapping there? Ugh... well, there goes my day...} however she had to do a double take when she spied two awesome and majestic, massive knight-like beings and Harry Potter holding a point card each, Harry gave her an 8 and the other two another 8 and a 7.

She tried, she really did but she couldn't help but complain "Oh come on! That pose was at least a 9!".

Everyone once again sweatdropped at her antics while Harry grinned at her "you were missing some sparkles or maybe some light orbs in different colors dancing and shining brightly around you".

Serafall was taking notes rapidly while nodding, this was good info.

Meanwhile, Yasaka smiled at her friend "Fufufu you seem to be having fun Sera".

Serafall stop writing and looked at Yasaka's eyes and she found the same warmth she always sees in her friend's eyes every time she comes to visit, Yasaka just smiled causing Sarefall to tear up a bit in relief.

Harry fondly smiled, he could clearly see that Serafall was very worried about her friendship with Yasaka and that she now was relieved that Yasaka seems to still be friendly with her.

Yasaka on her part smiled and nodded at Serafall "Take a seat everyone let's begin this meeting".

Gabriel and her entourage along with Serafall hurried and took a seat, Gabriel kindly waved and smiled at Serafall only to receive an eye-roll from her.

Yasaka just fondly shook her at Serafall and began to speak "I welcome you to my home, it is a pleasure to see all of you in good health".

Gabriel smiled and gave Yasaka a small bow "Thank you for welcoming us into your home lady Yasaka".

Serafall on her part bowed and smiled at Yasaka too "Thank you for receiving me into your home Ya-chan".

Yasaka nodded and gazed at Harry who nodded and turned to look at both visiting parties "Welcome everyone as I'm sure you're probably aware my name is Harry James Potter but please call me Harry, now it goes without saying but as one of the high ranking members of the Yokai faction and the one in charge of its protection I have to warn you" as he stared at everyone, they couldn't help to shiver a bit at the glow his eyes were giving off.

"Any acts of hostility either by words or actions will be taken seriously and dealt with accordingly... do not draw those holy swords you have in your possession exorcists, you won't survive the outcome if you do".

The three exorcist couldn't help to sweat and gulp as they nodded in acceptance, Yasaka nods and speaks up "Very well then without further ado let's begin with the meeting, starting with Serafall".

Serafall softly nodded, a determined look in her eyes can be seen "We of the devil faction already have sent both monetary recompense and official apologies in regards to the attack on Kunou, your daughter along with two other members of your faction, however, we the Maous still felt responsible and hope to personally apologize to you Lady Yasaka... the families of the responsible high-class devils were both severely fined and punished, in addition, Sirzechs Lucifer has publicly stated and proclaimed; Anyone caught or even suspected to act with hostile intent towards the Yokai faction will be declared a traitor and immediately executed, no exceptions".

Yasaka intently stared into Serafall's eyes something that Serafall return to show how serious she was "I thank you for both your and Maou Lucifer's efforts to prevent further hostilities towards my people... but understand this, my daughter was attacked... in her home no less... we the Yokai faction and me even more so, will never again trust the Devil faction as a whole".

Serafall look down in sadness and slightly nodded, meanwhile Gabriel and company silently listen "Serafall" the sad Maou looked up "I don't blame you, I know full well that you would never do anything to hurt Kunou so don't worry our relationship hasn't changed" Serafall softly smiled, however Yasaka gazed at Harry who had his eyes closed only to open them and stare at Serafall "Kunou and the other two who were attacked are my students" Everyone gaped at him as he revealed that he himself trained these powerful girls but then Harry glared "It won't matter what consequences the Maous placed on such actions from their faction, this happens again and I and my friends here will eliminate any devil and his or hers entire family" The knights and Harry flared their power causing the heaven quartet and Serafall to begin to breath heavily and sweat, both Xenovia and Irina passed out while the rest were barely holding on, suddenly the knights and Harry stop flexing their power and Gabriel, Griselda and Serafall were struggling to regain their breath.

Harry stared at Serafall for a minute and then spoke up "Do I make myself clear Serafall Leviathan?".

Serafall was struggling to stop trembling "Y-yes... I understand".

Harry nodded "Alright, then just this once I'll let it go and continue a friendly relationship with the Devil faction, be thankful that Yasaka spoke up in your defense, I was more than ready to destroy the entire underworld but she values you as a friend".

Serafall turns her gaze towards Yasaka and shakily smiles at her "Sorry about Harry Serafall, but you have to understand that he not only loves the people of Kyoto but he values the safety of his students even further, he was rightly angry but I was able to calm him down".

Serafall shook her head "No I understand, for what it's worth I am sorry this happened, but boy was I surprised to hear that little Kunou was able to fight off and defeat an entire Peerage alongside its king by herself".

Yasaka smiles proudly "Yes my daughter has grown so much lately but it's all thanks to Harry, he taught them all they know".

Gabriel had regained her composure and helped Griselda wake both Xenovia and Irina.

Yasaka turns to look at the still slightly shaken seraph "My apologies Lady Gabriel I hope you understand Harry's position in this matter".

Harry looked at Gabriel "Yes I apologize but I needed to have my point get across clearly".

Gabriel nodded "Ah yes I understand, no need to apologize, you care deeply for your students it's only normal to react that way".

Griselda looked at her own students and smiled fondly {Yes... we as teachers have to care for our students}.

Yasaka smiled and looked at Gabriel "Well Lady Gabriel, what can we do for you? I have to be honest and say that your request for a meeting surprised me, the Church and Heaven faction has never reached out to us before, it certainly tickled my curiosity".

Gabriel looked at Yasaka and then turn to look at Harry "A year and some months ago, God's system started to react to something in the human world and since then the connection my brother had with it has disappeared "She looks down "The reports informed us that it began to react whenever a particular holy signature spiked, however when that same signature spiked one more time almost two months ago, it was then that God's system connected to someone else... someone who performed a miracle".

Griselda's and Yasaka's eyes widen in shock while the young exorcists looked on in confusion, meanwhile, Harry just looked up in contemplation.

Yasaka looked down lost in thought {A miracle? but wh-...} she turned her gaze towards Harry {That's right... Harry himself is a god, what did he call it? Dragon Saiyan God?} she turned her gaze to Gabriel "What was the miracle?".

Gabriel looked up "A perfect resurrection, without the use of the devil's evil pieces or the Sephiroth Graal".

This time it was Serafall's turn for her eyes to widen in shock {Perfect resurrection? but Ajuka-tan said that it was impossible to accomplish that... it's the reason that the evil pieces reincarnate rather than resurrect}.

Harry turns his gaze towards Gabriel "Ah I see... yeah that was me, I brought back to life one of my student's mothers when she died due to an accident involving a spell creation".

Gabriel along with Griselda and the two young exorcists turned and stare at Harry "W-What!?".

Yasaka on her part was trying really hard not to laugh at Harry's nonchalant nature, it seems like he caught the poor seraph off guard.

Serafall looked in awe at Harry's cool attitude "H-how? how did you do that?" the magical girl maou couldn't help but ask at loud.

Harry turns towards Serafall "Hmm~ I used a legend rank spell of the healing branch of magic".

Everyone continues to stare at Harry except Yasaka who took a fan out of nowhere and began to hide her smile, Griselda couldn't help to say "There's no such spell in the world...".

Harry only smiled "In this world? yes, but I'm not the only one who can use that spell anymore, all four of my students learned to cast it, but only one has a bit of trouble casting and that's because her initiate element makes it difficult for her to learn healing magic but with time she'll master it".

Now everyone was gaping while Yasaka was trying to hide her trembling from her internal laughter "And a few of my Digimon friends can use similar spells to bring someone from the dead, sure there are some limitations but it's possible".

Everyone gaped until Irina was able to ask "What are Digimon?...".

Harry pointed at Alphamon with his thumb "Alphamon there along with the rest of the knights around us are Digimon, I believe that a few of those holy energy spikes detected by your scanners came from three other Digimon, they're celestial angels themselves".

Gabriel looked at Harry in curiosity "Angels?... ah yes if I remember correctly Azazel reported that two angel-like beings along with one who looked like a bunny were seen attacking the Tepes vampire clan, one was even confused as me...".

Harry raised an eyebrow "Oh that's right Ophanimon did say that some strayed exorcists called her Gabriel and proceeded to curse and yell at her".

Gabriel looked down {I knew that me and my brother we're hated by the stray exorcists in disappointment to our inability to help them... that and some of them found out the truth about heaven and in their confusion and anger at being lied to, resorted to causing chaos instead, it hurts to think how much we have failed}.

Griselda looked on and spoke up "Angels? you have Angels at your disposal?".

Harry nodded "I consider all of my Digimon family not minions at my disposal and they're always happy to help me, and yes Digimon come in all shapes and sizes, among them there's a few angel-type Digimon".

Gabriel closed her eyes "D-did father's system connect to you, Harry?".

Harry gazed at Gabriel for a while "I believe so, at first all I could hear was whispers but now I can clearly hear people praying when I focus on their voices, I didn't know what it was about until you explained just now, it makes sense after all and I have been helping some of the people praying but I don't intend to overly involved myself with all of this".

Gabriel continued to stare at Harry for a long while, she can sense his overwhelming power but beneath that, she can see kindness and loyalty.

Griselda worriedly gazed at Gabriel, while the two young exorcists looked on confused but unwilling to voice their concerns.

Gabriel close her eyes "Harry Potter, would you consider joining the Heaven faction?".

Everyone gaped at the seraph while Yasaka glared at her, However, Harry narrowed his eyes "No".

Secretly both Yasaka and Serafall breathed out in relief, meanwhile Gabriel look down, and Griselda glared at Xenovia who looked like she wanted to say something causing her to tense up and look down.

Gabriel looked up towards Harry's emerald eyes "May I ask why not?".

Harry looks up at the sky "I would never abandon the Yokai faction, I love them and I've come to consider many here my family and besides, both the church and heaven faction are a mess, just look at all the stray exorcists who massacre in the name of your father and don't even get me started on the Excalibur sword project and the cloning...".

A shocked Griselda spoke up to ask "How do you all of this?".

Harry closed his eyes "We were attacked not long ago and one of the members of the attacking group we captured had connections with the church before, she informed me of all of this and more".

Both Gabriel and Griselda looked down in shame while Harry continues on "Plus... you Angels hide away in heaven in fear, lost without your leader guidance and prefer to ignore your people, you abandoned humanity in cowardice, I would never join such a faction". Gabriel could only tighten her fists in shame at Harry's words, meanwhile, everyone looked on at her even though the two young exorcists didn't understand anything that was being said they stay quiet, even Serafall felt bad for the seraph, she was aware of the many difficulties the heaven faction faces but like with her own faction she has to take responsibility for their own actions.

Gabriel looked at Harry with big wet eyes "Can we at least make an alliance between heaven and the Yokai faction?".

Harry was trying to resist the seraph's big puppy eyes, he really did but in the end, he failed "Errr I wouldn't mind but that's between Yasaka and the leader of your faction, umm Michael if I remember correctly...".

Gabriel clapped happily "Yes I'll convince brother to reach out to Lady Yasaka for an alliance "

Yasaka just deadpanned at Harry "What? you try to say no to her when she looks at you like that!".

Serafall couldn't help but the giggle that escaped her while Gabriel was brightly smiling, meanwhile the three exorcists were sweat dropping at the seraph.

Harry shook his head "Anyway, just to let you know If I find any member of the church and heaven faction causing trouble for no reason I won't be as reasonable as the seraphs".

Gabriel nodded while Griselda started to nervously sweat, she was awfully aware of how arrogant and self-righteous some members of the church were and she worries that someone might do or say the wrong thing to him.

Yasaka just shook her head "Sigh... I'll wait for Michael to reach out to me Lady Gabriel".

Meanwhile, Serafall began to look around "Hey Ya-chan where's little Kunou? I wanted to cuddle with her for a bit."

Gabriel's eyes sparkled at the mention of cuddles, meanwhile, Yasaka smiled "Fufufu you should ask her sensei, he must know where she is".

Harry grins at everyone "Kunou and the rest of my students are in a special ID training".

The visitors tilted their heads in confusion making Harry sweatdrop, Gabriel spoke up "ID? what's that?".

Harry thought about it for a second but in the end, decided to answer truthfully, it's not like they can use any of this information against him "ID stands for 'instant dungeon', they're fully interactive pocket dimensions, there are all kinds and can be manipulated to have all kinds of effects, like time dilation or increased gravity, I used them for training and the girls have been using them too, since the dungeons can create realistic life forms to battle with, it can be a great battle experience, right now they're doing something call boss rush with time dilation, where they will face masses of enemies and once they defeat them all a boss like being will appear and the girls will have to defeat them".

{What I didn't explain was that this particular boss rush only had enemies from the first world I ever been to and to make sure that the girls had an adequate challenge I raised the enemies' power level}.

All five women once again found themselves gaping at Harry, by the description alone, those instant dungeons sound amazing to train in.

Meanwhile, Harry's eyes sparkled and a big smile appeared on his face "Would you like to see my students in action".

They somehow knew that their lives would change after this but they were curious about his students, they wanted to witness their abilities and so they agreed making Harry happily grin, he waved a hand and a giant mirror-like screen appeared allowing everyone to see what was going inside the instant dungeon.

The girls seem to be facing a purple bug-like creature who's holding a small staff, it has a big glowing belly and impressive long goat-like horns.

Serafall and Gabriel narrow their eyes at such a creature, just by looking at it, they can feel dread begin to fill their hearts.

Gabriel turned her gaze to Harry "W-what is that?".

Harry was glaring at the creature, memories of that final battle against it coursing through his mind.

"That's Demonlord Rhapthorn...".

This caused everyone's eyes to widen in shock and they turned to watch, what they believe to be an impressive battle that was about to begin.

-----

(Hours before the meeting)

~Instant dungeon, Boss rush mode: Kunou's PoV~

Early in the morning, Harry-sensei woke me and the rest of the girls, he told us that today we'll be going to a special kind of instant dungeon, one where we will be put to the test, and of course, I was excited about this challenge and so we went in fully prepared for battle, the first area we arrived was a cave filled with monsters we've never seen before.

At first, the enemies were easy, slimes, bat-like creatures called dracky, and all kinds of small monsters, we were able to easily defeat them with just physical attacks, funnily enough, Luna picked one of the small blue slimes as a pet "Look guys! isn't adorable? you think Harry would mind if I keep it?" and it's been with us since then, got to admit though it was a cutie with that big smile on its face hehehe.

The first boss was a merman named Geyzer he wasn't that strong but it did catch us by surprise with an attack that cursed us, making me and Le Fay unable to move, luckily Luna and Valerie are immune to dark-type curses and were able to take care of the merman while Le Fay and I broke free from the curse, needless to say, that we will be more careful about those types of attacks.

The second area was a big ship in the middle of the ocean, at first we were having some difficulty with space and the number of monsters coming aboard and some of the monsters aptly named See angels and Healslime could both heal or buff their allies "Le Fay you and Valerie focus on the healers, me and Luna will take care of the rest, don't let them heal their allies!" but in the end, we adapted and defeated them all.

The boss this time was an enormous squid-like monster named Khalamari, its size, its surprising ability to breathe fire, and the number of tentacles made it a tough fight, we also found out that these monsters for some reason had a bit of magic resistance and our magic wasn't able to do full damage and in some cases, it made them immune to some elements and even status effects, it made things even more difficult but working as a team we were able to defeat the giant squid after first disabling it tentacles first.

The next area was creepy, it seemed like an underground abandoned temple, it was filled with undead type monsters Mummy boys, Skeletons and Walking corpses, boy was it a bit scary only Valerie and Luna seemed to be having fun...

"Luna! stop poking that walking corpse! and Valerie stop laughing!".

In any case, the boss here was truly difficult, it was an undead called Torture soul, it had a bad habit of calling for backup and attacking us with fire magic from afar but it seemed to be weak to light-based attacks and magic so Le Fay and I faced it while Luna, her slime and Valerie took care of its back up.

"Take this! 'Holy Firaga!;" Le Fay shouted "'Be blessed and purified! Blessed drop!'" holy fire and holy water rained upon the Torture soul causing major damage, and then we were finally able to defeat the boss, we were tired and a bit hungry but luckily sensei gave us food and medical supplies before we left "Oh~ these are the medical gels sensei told us about, they're delicious!" and we were able to recover quickly enough.

In the next area, we found ourselves in an even bigger underground temple, the monsters here were even tougher and more versatile, among them the most dangerous were the Phantom fencers, Restless armor, and Lost souls, what made them dangerous were their high resistance to physical attacks forcing us to rely on magic.

The boss was even more dangerous, its name was Trap Box and it was not only fast but its physical attacks were very strong, it also use magic that would either confuse us or put us to sleep, at some point, Luna's slime saved us by slamming its squishy body against our faces to wake us up, brave little guy!.

In the end, we defeated the Trap Box, but it shows us that we still have more to learn and that we should always be careful of any surprises an enemy might have.

The next area was a cave full of funky moles, along with some other beast-like monsters like a Mars rover, Chimaera, and Hawk man, they were tough but at this point, they were nothing we haven't faced before.

The boss was Don Mole... and let me just say that the most dangerous thing about Don Mole is its singing voice, I think we took more damage from that than its earthquake attacks, it's voice even damaged its backup, I would have laughed but I too was a victim to its singing.

After that trial, we were ready for the next area which was a forest filled with small red wingless dragons named Argon lizards along with Hacksaurus and Orc kings, they were strong and could cause quite a bit of damage, especially the Hacksaurus but the most dangerous was the Orc kings, they could heal and even revive its allies prolonging our fight even longer "Le Fay, Valerie, the same as before, take down the healers fast and hard!" eventually we came face to face with the boss a giant dragon named Great Argon Lizard.

It was really tough and strong, it had a habit of swiping at us with its massive tail and it could jump really high but we could fly and we took advantage of that to defeat it.

We took a bit of time to rest and heal before we went to the next area which was a dark ruin and it was scary, the whole area felt evil and dark, even Luna was uncomfortable and the monsters here were even stronger, among them were Trolls, Bone baron and Fallen priests and they were dangerous!, the Trolls were not only very strong but they were hard to put down, the Bone barons were fast and it could use lighting magic and the Fallen priests, their magic was what made them dangerous and it made us rely on our Reflect spell to survive.

Finally, we faced the boss here Dholmagus and boy was he the strongest foe yet, at first it was a human wearing a dark jester costume and its attacks were truly terrifying, wind sickles, waves of ice that could weaken us, and giant vines of thorns.

We fought hard and long, blasting it with magic, slashing with our keyblades, and Valerie sniping from afar.

After a hard-fought, we won but then it showed us its true form, he look like a demon, with its big horns, blue skin, and black feathered wings, we immediately learned that it was way more powerful than before, its magic was also a surprise, powerful waves of fire and blast of ice, it could fly and shoot its sharp feathers at us, it's was a hard battle. We had to use all kinds of magic and skills to win! Even our slimy friend cast small fireballs at our enemy to distract him and we would take advantage to unleash our strongest attacks until it fell dead. We were sore, tired, and almost out of magic something that hasn't happened since sensei gave us those support skills.

This time we took longer to rest and recover, as we did so we wondered how sensei faced this many enemies with his friends and what sort of adventure he was on that would force him to face this many dangerous foes.

After resting we continued on and in the next area, it was an underwater temple, many marine-type monsters came at us, most of them were stronger versions of some of the monsters we faced before but among them were the demon thunderer and their lighting attacks, the octavian pirate and its masterful spear thrusts were the only challenges.

The boss was Captain Crow, apparently, he was a ghost and thus an undead monster, but his mastery of the sword and wind blast-like skill made him a challenge, me and Luna were able to push him back with our keyblades while Le Fay and Valerie attacked him at long distance until he fell defeated and we were sent to next area.

In this area, we didn't face any monsters and we only found the boss and we were left speechless the boss was Empyrea a beautiful and majestic bird-like being, it was enormous as it was powerful, it came at us with lightning spells and occasionally flashed her body temporarily blinding us, it was so far the most brutal flying battle we had but we aimed at its wings forcing it to take the battle to the ground were we held an advantage until we were finally victorious.

We rested a bit before getting to the next area and to our surprise it look like all the color of this area was stolen, everything looked black, white and shades of gray, the enemies were all black versions of monsters we faced before, the only one that gave us a bit of trouble was the Darkodile, it was a flying crocodile that had good defenses and powerful physical attacks.

Eventually, the boss Gemon appeared he was slightly stronger than Empyrea but the only difference was that it could breathe intense flames at us and had stronger physical attacks, we took him down quickly using the same strategy we used on Empyrea and left to the next area.

The dark citadel was the name of the next area and it was an evil place, here we faced some of the strongest monsters we have seen, Archdemons with their powerful explosion magic, Dullahans with their amazing skill with their flail, Gigantes and Stone guardians with their terrifying physical and defense capabilities, King cureslimes with their healing magic and so many more.

We struggle but we never gave up we fought and fought, using our weapons, all sorts of magic from buffs to debuffs, healing, time and space magic we even used ninja and ki techniques until the enemies were defeated, and we quickly healed up before the boss appeared and when it did we truly were for the first time ever afraid, regardless of how silly it looked Lord Rhapthorn we could sense it was above anything we faced before and we knew that it was going to take everything we had to defeat it but we will win! We are Harry potter's students after all!
