Volume 5 Chapter 226 - Reinforcements
It only took a few minutes before all of the zombies fused and compressed with Kokabiel, and the end result is horrifying. A 100-meter blob of rotten meat in the shape of a deformed baby with 5 pairs grotesque black wings and several black haloes stacked upon its head.
"What the hell…?" Even Azazel is dumbfounded seeing Kokabiel's current state. Even in the duration of the Great War, Kokabiel never did something like this, but he also understands why he never used this form, 'He also became a sacrifice… But why? What's pushing Kokabiel to do this?'
Kisuke sent a 'Razor' towards the deformed baby. He was successful in wounding it, but instead of it staying wounded like what happened earlier, it was able to regenerate its cut from Kisuke's attack, '…The cohesion between the spirit particles strengthened. Adding to that is the fact it's now passively absorbing spirit particles to aid its regeneration… It became an annoying thing.' Although aside from being annoyed, a part of him wanted to take a look at how it works, 'No no no, Kisuke… This isn't the time. I need to free those unfortunate souls first.' Shaking his head, he planned his next steps.
Of course, 'Kokabiel' won't stay silent taking an attack from Kisuke, "KAAHHH!!!" Along with its shrill scream that threatened to burst everyone's eardrums, a ball of black light suddenly manifested in front of its mouth. It got bigger and bigger until it became a beam of black light.
But instead of Kisuke, the 'Kokabiel's' target seems to be Rias' group. Using Flash Step, Kisuke instantly reappeared in front of them and muttered, "Danku(Splitting Void)." A thin transparent rectangular wall in between the beam and Kisuke, blocking the beam entirely and deflecting it to the side, gouging the ground, making two 2 meter deep canals on both of their sides.
"Want my help?" Yoruichi asked after the beam passed.
"Well… I'm pretty tired, so I guess…" Kisuke was about to ask for Yoruichi's help when both of them suddenly felt multiple presences appearing from some distance and they both smiled.
"What? Why are you two smiling?" Sona asked when Kisuke suddenly stopped speaking. The others though has a different question for Sona in their mind, 'How can you tell a cat is smiling?'
'Kokabiel' is preparing another attack when half of its body, starting from its waist and upwards, was suddenly covered in ice, effectively canceling its attack.
"Magical Levia-tan is here~☆." All of them suddenly heard a bubbly and cheerful voice. They all looked at the direction where the voice came from and they saw a short but busty twin-tailed beauty in a magical girl attire flying towards them. The magical girl landed near them and the first thing she did is dashing towards Sona's location but ended up kissing Yoruichi's barrier, "Gah!"
"Ah… Sorry." With a wave of his paw, Yoruichi dispelled her barrier and as if nothing happened, the magical girl resumed running, intending to tackle Sona, "Sona-chan!!!"
Sona wanted to dodge, but she's already too late. The magical girl and Sona dropped to the ground, "Sona-chan!!!"
"Nee-sama… Please don't be like this. At least not in public!" Sona tried to separate from Serafall who started rubbing her face on her modest chest.
"Sona-chan!!! I was so worried!!! I'm sorry for being late!!! Those geezers can't do anything aside from talking! They only reluctantly agreed for me to personally when this thing suddenly appear!" Serafall didn't listen to Sona's pleas and started explaining herself thinking that Sona must have been so scared facing such a monster.
"Levia-tan, you still have something to deal with." Kisuke helped out Sona by pointing to the baby that is starting to escape from the ice encasement.
Serafall indeed separated from Sona, but instead of facing the abnormal monster, she went in front of Kisuke with a serious expression, and since she's a lot shorter than Kisuke, she has to look up to him, "Ki-tan! I still haven't forgiven you for making Sona-chan cry!"
Kisuke can feel the intensity of her gaze and he honestly didn't know what to say, 'How should I explain this?'
However, Serafall isn't looking for an answer, "I'll confront you later about it, but for now… Let's deal with this thing. It seems you're hiding some of your abilities, better use it now." Serafall faced the 'Kokabiel' who is already shaking away the ice on its body and resumed attacking.
Multiple balls of blacklight manifested around its body and it fired beams of destruction indiscriminately, "Let's go!" Serafall was about to fly again when Kisuke stopped her by grabbing her shoulder, "Wait. It seems someone else wanted to join in the fun."
Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Serafall looked in a certain direction and saw a white meteor coming to them. The meteor instantly arrives and pierced through 'Kokabiel' creating a large hole in his chest.
The meteor slowed down and landed near them, revealing a guy in a gaudy white armor with blue crystals embedded in various parts of the armor, "Let me assist."
Vali wanted to take it alone but the moment he touched 'Kokabiel' he knew that his Dividing Powers won't work on him and he didn't really want to reveal the extent of his abilities now.
"White Dragon Emperor… What are you trying to pull? You are part of the Grigori and Grigori is also the source of this mess." Despite Serafall's friendly demeanor, the aura around her is saying the opposite thing.
"I understand your concerns, Devil King Leviathan. But this is Kokabiel's own actions and has nothing to do with Grigori. Azazel sent me here to stop him." Vali replied.
"And you expect me to believe that? Do you want me to freeze and break you into pieces? Did you think no one would notice you watching from afar? If you wanted to stop him, you could have done it without letting the situation devolve into this." Contrary to her smiling face, the chilling aura Serafall has started increasing in intensity and the ground is starting to cover in frost.
Without minding this, Vali didn't hesitate to answer, "That is indeed the plan, but we also want to know who's supporting Kokabiel's actions as he could never have done this alone." He then looked towards Kisuke's direction, "In addition to that is some unknown interesting characters that I lost my chance to interfere."
Serafall only stared at him without saying anything. 'Kokabiel's' wound in the chest is already healed and he restarted his bombardment. They can't really afford to waste more time so he immediately sent a signal to Azazel. A few seconds later, a private telepathy message was sent to Serafall and after hearing it, she sighed, "If that's how is it, then fine. Ki-tan, are you fine with this?"
"I'm pretty tired and I'd also really like it if there is no giant creepy baby crawling around the neighboorhood. Its cries would be annoying as heck." Kisuke went back to his casual tone.
Serafall sent a large spear of ice towards 'Kokabiel's' head and pierced it, "That's good, but honestly, it's going to take a lot of time and manpower just to destroy that thing." Serafall is referring to the manpower need to keep the barrier operational for a few days of intense battle, 'It would have been a lot easier if Sirzechs-chan is here, but only one Devil King is allowed to be present or else it'll look bad for the Underworld.' The icicle spear already started disappearing because it's being consumed by the black Holy Power and the hole in his face also begun regenerating.
Vali is also prepared for a few days of battle to kill this 'immortal' monster, but Kisuke can't have that, "So you have no way of destroying that thing instantly?" Kisuke asked, 'How can I sleep peacefully!?'
"I can, actually. But I'm going to destroy the whole Kuoh Town and maybe the neighboring towns along with it. And the people in it won't be safe either." Serafall's normal smile returned and her eyes twinkled when she replied to Kisuke. Kisuke can tell that she's trying to show off and it wouldn't be strange if she thinking along with these lines, 'Big sister is strong, you know~?.'
"How about you?" Kisuke then turned his attention to Vali.
"I can only go along with Devil King Leviathan's plan." He replied curtly.
"Haaah~~~." Kisuke released an exasperated sigh after hearing his answer, 'What the hell are these people doing here then? To play around? Asking for Yoruichi's help is a lot better and maybe I should do just that… But I can't exactly ignore them… Especially this Devil King… She sounds like an unreasonable person.'
Staying silent for a few seconds, Kisuke reopened his mouth, "Yosh. If you have nothing, they let's try it my way~."
"Okay~?!" Serafall immediately agreed while Vali only nodded his head after thinking for a few seconds, "What should we do?"
"Buy me some time. That's all."
