Volume 5 Chapter 224 - The Legion

"Another human? Is he the same as that strange girl?" Azazel muttered in question, "And his entrance is damn nice." He also let out his honest admiration for Kisuke's Senkaimon.

Vali also stared at the man who entered the scene with his pet cat. He's a few miles away from the school and keeping his aura in check, but strangely enough, Vali's eyes met with the young man in kimono for a split second and this made him shudder. Along with the chill that entered his spine, he smiled wildly.

"What's wrong, Vali?" Azazel asked in wonderment.

"He noticed me. And I can tell that despite the normal human aura he is emitting, he's many times more dangerous than that strange girl." Anticipation filled Vali's heart. It's very rare for him to receive a sudden chill just from a stare and as a battle maniac, at this moment, he wanted to have a clash with him.

Azazel knew what he's thinking and reminded him, "Just be sure to secure Kokabiel. I have a lot of questions for him. But for now, let's see what this guy is capable of."

Vali nodded in agreement as he wouldn't blindly go against someone who has unknown abilities.

They were surprised that Kisuke was able to use the instant acceleration technique with much more finesse and proficiency, although not by much.

What really made Azazel stood up from his seat is when Kisuke released Benihime, "Really… What the hell are these people? And is that a Sacred Gear? Why haven't I heard of that dangerous type yet?" Aside from the strange and more intense aura, Azazel, Vali, and even Albion's attention were caught by the young man's strange weapon.

"That's not a Sacred Gear. Although something is also residing inside that blade." Albion suddenly spoke.

Azazel also has the same thoughts but he can't believe it fully, 'A tool that is attached to a human yet not a Sacred Gear? And it also has a spirit residing in it… What the hell is that?'

They watched as Kisuke blocked Kokabiel's spear and tossed it upwards and Azazel immediately commanded Vali, "Take Kokabiel before he's killed now. He doesn't have any way of fighting any-!?"

Azazel's words were cut short when Kokabiel suddenly pierced his left arm with his right hand and let his blood form a magic circle, "What!? How!? I already sealed those things! Vali! Create a barrier 2 kilometers around the school. Cooperate with that robed Human and make it as strong as possible!"

"What's so dangerous that we have to set up such a large barrier? Couldn't we just stop Kokabiel?" Vali started moving while asking Azazel. He instantly arrives beside Cleria in disguise.

"It's already too late. He already opened the gate connecting to that dimension." Azazel gritted his teeth as he watches Kokabiel.

Kisuke only let Kokabiel do his stuff as his instincts are telling him that he's about to pull out something disgusting. And if it's really a disgusting thing, he would want to destroy it. He also noticed that the guy with a gaudy white armor approached Cleria, He was about to move towards them but he saw that the armored guy doesn't have any hostility and started talking to Cleria about something. They also started casting a large barrier away from school making all of the civilians inside it move outwards unconsciously, 'That guy knows what this crow is trying to do?' Kisuke then decided to ignore them for

Seeing that Kisuke is looking at him silently, Kokabiel sighed in relief and sneered at him, 'Underestimating me, aren't you? I'll drown you in despair in a moment.' With him concentrating on his magic, Kokabiel failed to notice what's happening outside.

A few seconds later, large amounts of dark red magic circles, 2 feet in diameter, suddenly appeared all around. They numbered around 10,000.

Even Kisuke and Yoruichi were shocked at this scene and he immediately retreated besides the Devils. A few more seconds later, the magic circles are now numbering around 50,000, covering the sky with its creepy light.

"Oi, Kisuke… It looks dangerous… What are you planning to do now?" Yoruichi asked her partner with a bit of concern.

"I can't really do anything about it now. The magic he's trying to do is already somehow disconnected from him so even if I kill him it won't stop. On the contrary, it might make it worse." Kisuke carefully watches the magic circles and tried to decipher it, 'It's a pretty simple magic circle… It's connected to somewhere trying to summon something. If it's really something like that, then I doubt one of he's trying to summon is strong individually if he can call a legion of them." Kisuke doesn't really care about the danger it poses and just wanted to know what he's trying to summon.

A minute after Kokabiel started casting his magic, he laughed out loud, "AHAHAHA!!! Behold, my legion! Be honored that you're witnessing this before your deaths! It's something that I prepared for the Devil Kings!"

As he declares, grotesque humanoid figures started emerging from each magic circle. These human figures look like humans who received intense torture that they almost look like zombies in the movies. Another thing about them is the black halo on the top of their heads radiating creepy light.

Each of the dark red magic circles was able to pull out 5 of these 'zombies' so their number was blown to 250,000.

Witnessing the cloud of zombies, the Devils and the exorcist lost all hope, "N-no way… How are we suppose to fight that?" Asia muttered dropping down to her knees. In the Great War, this legion of his what made him a fearsome enemy for the two other factions despite being weak by himself overall.

Sona went to Kisuke's side and grabbed his kimono. She now knew that Kisuke is a lot stronger than she thought and wanted to ask about it but right now isn't the time. She unconsciously went behind him as she peeked at the gross zombies, "What should we do?"

Kisuke only patted her head to ease her concerns. Sona looked up and saw an expression that she has never seen before. Kisuke isn't sporting any kind of expression, but she can tell that he's at his most serious. She ended up staring in this rare expression of his.

"Kisuke… Let me beat him up." Yoruichi could only stare at this spectacle while gritting her teeth, I'll make sure that he won't have an easy death."

"No… I understand your feelings but I need you to protect these guys." Kisuke replied. Not a hint of his usual frivolous tone was found.

"You're still going to fight!? We need an army to go against that! Let's just wait for the reinforcements! Now that something like this happened, the Underworld would speed up the process of their dispatch! Why do you want to fight against that anyway?" Despite knowing how strong he is, Sona still couldn't let him take such a large risk. They would have more chances if they only defend themselves in this spot while waiting for the Underworld to send their own army.

"Why?" Kisuke gently put down the hands grabbing his kimono and slowly walked forward, "Because whether they are evil spirits or not… If they want to rest, they deserve to rest." Kisuke stared at the zombies who are actually evil spirits that are former human souls. They were forced to become one and as a Shinigami, he can hear the voices of those tortured souls wanting an eternal rest from this eternal torment. This is also why Yoruichi wanted to have a go despite promising Kisuke that she would leave everything to him.

Sona and the rest didn't understand his words, but those who knew how he usually acts can tell that he isn't in the mood for some jokes.

"Hooh~. You still have the guts to come forward despite seeing my legion. I couldn't praise your bravery as it is just a foolish act." Kokabiel chuckled now that he was able to summon the remains of his once larger legion, he isn't afraid any more even if all the Devil Kings arrive. His evil spirits might be weak individually but they are all almost immortal with Holy Power or Demonic Power having almost no effect on them. They can only be killed they were blasted into nothingness.

Not replying to his words, Kisuke raised Benihime and his aura shoots up again, "Kamisori, Benihime (Razor, Crimson Princess)!" With a swing of his sword, a crimson energy arc fired from the blade and approach the first batch of the zombies.

"Ahahaha! Something like that is usel- What!?"

A hundred or so zombies were cut into half and they didn't regenerate as Kokabiel expected but they only dispersed into motes of light.
