Volume 10 Chapter 612 - Power that Defies Gods
As the five crimson Dragons descended, space was shaking and the frosted world started to break apart. Serafall tried her best to keep her world steady, but she immediately noticed that the Dragons were 'eating' the Demonic Power she was using to freeze everything. And not just that, the Mana and Ki were also being sucked up by the gluttonous Dragons.
The forbidden Kidou, Goryuutenmatsu(Five Swirling Dragons of Destruction). It was forbidden because not only did it require insane amounts of Reiryoku to cast, but it also absorbed the surrounding energy to power itself up. And that energy includes the ones that came from the world's Ley Lines, which is the power source of the world to stabilize itself.
The main concept behind this Kidou is 'Swirling'. Each of the Dragons possesses the power to 'Swirl' everything it comes close to or in contact with. The moment something became influenced by the 'Swirl', everything that composed it would start to move in multiple directions, creating a tremor. Depending on the user's Reiryoku and mastery, one could dictate the scope of the 'Swirl'. From 'Swirling' the terrain, which would cause uncontrollable destruction, up to 'Swirling' individual molecules themselves, causing it to spontaneously combust and vaporize.
One of these Dragons could potentially annihilate a region, reducing everything in it to dust.
Of course, Kisuke wouldn't use its full capabilities in this sparring session. His main aim was to absorb Serafall's Demonic Power and heat up this place.
One of the Dragons went around Kisuke, returning everything to normal in his immediate vicinity, while the rest of the Dragons descended in four different directions, directly slamming into the ground and creating large tremors that shattered the icy world and raised the earth.
Moments later, the only place left unturned was the spot where Serafall was standing with a dumbfounded face as she mumbled, "…What the hell was that?"
Due to losing so much Demonic Power, Serafall couldn't even stand up properly and started to fall backward. However, before she reached the ground, Serafall felt an arm catch her and looked towards him, "Good work out there~!" said Kisuke with a large grin.
Serafall pouted and said, "I thought for sure that I'd win. Never thought you would counter my trump card just like that."
"Since you showed your trump card, I figured that it's only right to show mine too~!"
Serafall then looked around while in Kisuke's arms, "You really turned this place upside down."
Aside from the spot they were standing, everything around them had become a desolate land that looked like shattered rocks. Not a single life could be detected, and this extended for several kilometers.
"I'll come and fix this later, at least to the point that the forest could regrow so you don't have to worry about it. Besides, most of the animals had already evacuated the moment we arrived here, so most of them survived."
"That's certainly reassuring. Shall we head back?" asked Serafall.
"Alright, but you don't have to speak up. I'll do the talking."
"Got it."
The two of them then teleported back to where everyone was waiting and the first one to greet them was Yoruichi, "Welcome back~! Good fight out there~!"
Sona, on the other hand, went straight towards her sister who was being carried by Kisuke, "Nee-sama, are you alright?" Sona asked with deep concern while checking for any injuries she had.
Although she had recovered enough stamina and Demonic Power to stand, Serafall still chose not to move away from Kisuke, "I'm fine~! Just a bit tired."
Thanks to her ice healing, most of the wounds she'd received from Kisuke had already closed up.
"But really, who would have thought that you're almost at Super Devil rank. There's no news about it anywhere," added Yoruichi, but in Japanese so that others couldn't understand what she was talking about.
Serafall then smiled proudly and replied, "Fufu, I didn't stop training myself even after the war ended. I can't just let Grayfia-chan become stronger than me!"
During the Underworld Civil War, Serafall and Grayfia became enemies and the fight between them spanned several days only to end up in a draw. At that time, she didn't like it and promised to improve herself the next time they meet.
However, the war ended and Grayfia ended up coming to Sirzechs side. Even then, she didn't stop improving herself and hid her real capabilities in case a war erupted again. She at least wanted her enemies to have outdated information about her, so she didn't tell anyone about her progress, including her servants and family.
Kisuke then gave Serafall to Yoruichi to deal with before Claire approached him with Ophis, "Kisuke-niichan! That was so cool! I want to do something like that too!" she said with shining eyes.
Kisuke patted her head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to do that too. But you have to do your studies first."
Claire excitedly replied, "I'll do it! I'll study more!"
While patting her head, Kisuke turned to everyone from the Loki Familia. As he looked into their eyes, fear was very apparent. Already expecting this would be the result, Kisuke asked with a grin, "Are you scared?"
However, they couldn't answer him. Some of them even took a step back while shaking. A being that was not a God, but with unreasonable and impossible power, a being that went beyond their imagination and understanding. Of course they'd be scared!
At this response, Kisuke's grin grew wider, "This is the possibility of properly learning Magic without the help of a Deity's blessing. A power of your own. A power that Gods couldn't take away from you. In a sense, going down this path is the same as disregarding their authorities."
At his last sentence, everyone's body shook. They don't know why he would say something so controversial in front of the Goddesses themselves.
But Kisuke didn't care about any of that and continued, "We'll be teaching you the way we use Magic and how to use Ki, but I won't be forcing everyone. Make a choice. Will you be learning it or not? This will be the last time I ask."
Everyone from the Loki Familia currently didn't know what to do and most of them looked towards Loki, wanting to ask for advice. However, their patron Deity ignored them and just closed her eyes with a serious expression. They were left alone to decide for themselves.
Everyone agonized at their options. Although learning the way they fight would be a great boost to them, the way Kisuke described acquiring the power is the same as going against the Gods made them hesitate greatly. In addition to that, they were scared of him and his group, scared of the unknown power they possess.
But a moment later, one person stepped out and that person was not the great Sage nor the Sword Princess looking for power, but an almost insignificant member of the Loki Familia, "I'd like to learn! Please!" Line declared with great conviction.
Despite not showing it, Loki was smiling inside, 'Great~! Now the rest of you, don't disappoint me~!'
