Volume 9 Chapter 528 - VS Hero Faction part 2
"You!!!", yelled Hercules as he swung his fist and leg at Kisuke again, but Kisuke dodged it just as easily as before. "Iya~. Don't get too furious just because you were proven wrong.", said Kisuke while he dusted his hat off.
Hercules retreated to Jeanne as his confident demeanor from earlier already disappeared.
"…How is he doing that?", asked Rossweisse with a surprised face.
"…Who knows?", replied Issei with the same expression.
"What? You're not coming?", taunted Kisuke towards Hercules and Jeanne, who had started putting up defensive measures, "Well then, I guess it's my turn."
The moment he ended his words was the moment when Kisuke suddenly disappeared from his spot without any warnings, "What!? Where!?"
Hercules and Jeanne tried looking for him, but the next thing they saw was that he was only a few inches away from the tall Hercules. Hercules tried to swing his fist at Kisuke again, but this time, he didn't dodge, "That trick… Why do you keep repeating it?"
Instead of dodging, Kisuke lightly tapped Hercules' fist, and it suddenly exploded, "Wha…!?" Due to the explosion to speed up his fist, and the sudden explosion that countered it, Hercules' arm broke with multiple veins on it ruptured.
While still confused at what was going on, Kisuke lightly tapped a few parts on his body, and they all exploded, "Gaha!!!"
Due to those explosions and most of them countering each other, it resulted in his body being squeezed in multiple directions, breaking his bones and rupturing his flesh and veins. After the series of explosions, the yellow aura which was covering Hercules' body disappeared, along with his Balance Breaker as he fell to his knees, unconscious.
Hercules' Sacred Gear was the yellow aura that covered his body which allowed him to make it explode for his use. After watching him doing it several times, Kisuke figured how it worked and how much mastery he had over it. Thanks to his poor control, Kisuke was able to confuse the Sacred Gear, which detonated the explosions inside of himself.
With her comrade instantly downed, Jeanne panicked and attacked Kisuke with her Holy Sword, "You bastard!!!" She also commanded her Dragon to flank him.
Kisuke dodged and was about to retaliate when suddenly, multiple magic circles appeared around him and bombarded him. Kisuke predicted where the magic attacks would land and dodged them with minimal effort.
But soon after, he felt a threat from behind him and used Flash Step to get away. An elongated spear pierced the ground he was standing on a second earlier, "Hey now. I thought it was just those two?"
"You're too dangerous.", muttered Cao Cao with a serious face, "You're even more dangerous than the current Sekiryuutei. You instantly figured out how Hercules' Sacred Gear works and manipulated it to your liking. I couldn't have done the same thing."
"And is that supposed to be a compliment?", asked Kisuke with genuine confusion.
The Gremory team and Vali, however, were shocked at Cao Cao's words. After all, Cao Cao was what you'd call the Ultimate Technique type of fighter, the type that analyzes everything about their enemy and creates countermeasures against them. Even Azazel praised and was defeated by him.
For Cao Cao to say that he couldn't have done the same thing, it was a testament to how terrifying Kisuke's abilities actually were.
"That's a compliment, alright!?", shouted Xenovia.
At that point, Cao Cao didn't say anything else and just activated his Balance Breaker. After the mysterious seven orbs appeared around him, Kisuke took a stance and got ready, but not for him.
The moment they were about to clash and they were at the peak of concentration, a dark silhouette suddenly appeared behind Kisuke and Ophis and plunged a dagger to his heart.
"Kisuke!!!", screamed Issei and ran towards him, while the rest of his group also got ready to assist.
However, Issei barely took several steps when 'Kisuke and Ophis' popped like a balloon and they suddenly appeared behind the dark silhouette, "So you finally appeared. I was getting tired of waiting for you, you know?"
"!!?" The dark silhouette, a Grim Reaper turned towards Kisuke in a hurry as he summoned his scythe to attack.
Kisuke jumped back to dodge the attack, but that was what the Grim Reaper was aiming for, as he flew away as fast as possible. Based on the speed of his flight, it was obvious that he was an Ultimate Class Grim Reaper.
"Bakudo no 61: Rikujoukourou (Six Rods of Light Prison)" But before he could escape for good, six beams of light suddenly slammed into his midsection, holding him in place, "What's the hurry? Pluto was it? Won't you say anything about our reunion? Or, could it be that you were not expecting me to reappear again?"
Pluto tried to break free but failed. He figured that it would require more time to break this spell forcefully so he focused on it, "How are you still alive?"
Kisuke slowly walked towards him and answered, "Because I was able to deal with that poison~."
Pluto felt agitated at his answer, "Impossible! That concoction was the result of a thousand years of research by my master using the most violent of the materials available to him! It's impossible for a mere Human like you to survive a poison that could have easily killed a God with a mere drop!"
"Well, I'm fine with however you want to think of it, but enough about me. Would you mind telling me who else is in your little plan?"
Pluto looked at him with utter contempt, "Hah! You won't be able to get anything from me! And if you think that you'll be able to detain me with just this, then you're too arrogant." After saying that, the six beams of light broke and Pluto was free again.
However, Kisuke only sighed, "Figures…" A heavy and terrifying pressure then suddenly engulfed the area as he released his Reiatsu-Ki. It was to the point that the Satan-Class Devils and the large monster that they were fighting momentarily stopped battling to look towards his direction, "Then I don't need you."
With a swing of his blade, a dark red almost black net covered Pluto's entire body. Without letting him react, Kisuke reappeared in front of him and stabbed a part of the net, "Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi (Fire-Playing Crimson Princess Beaded Mesh)"
Small orbs then emerged from the black net and spread rapidly towards Pluto as Kisuke pulled out his blade and took some distance. A second later, a large explosion in the form of a massive fire pillar occurred, with Pluto in the middle of it, who was shouting in pain.
The fire pillar that engulfed Pluto was as tall as the monster wreaking havoc through the entire city. A few seconds later, Pluto's scream disappeared along with the pillar, leaving only a magma-filled crater.
Kisuke walked back to where everyone else was and said, "Now that the nuisance is no more, shall we continue?"
The rest of the Hero Faction had some cold sweat crawling down their backs and Cao Cao audibly gulped when he thought, 'He's clearly a technique type, yet he's capable of suddenly pulling out an attack comparable to Satan Class? This is going to be hard.'
"Hey… Does anyone recognize that Sacred Gear? Are you sure that it isn't a Longinus?", asked Xenovia.
"And what he used just now doesn't seem to be magic… It uses a completely different type of energy and system…", added Rossweisse as she tried to analyze the technique Kisuke used.
