DN : [253] Isaiah
🕑 Added 2024-07-22 16:00:02 +0000 UTC"Ah!!!"
Revenge had been taken, but for Yuuto Kiba, there was no joy to be found.
Tears streamed down his face as emotions burst forth like a dam breaking. He had avenged his comrades, but their deaths remained unchanged. All that was left were tears and pain.
He had done the only thing he could: he had avenged them.
Suddenly, something fell out of Valper Galilei's corpse's pocket and landed near Kiba. As his tears fell onto the object, something miraculous occurred.
In an instant, a mysterious aura began to spread, and glowing orbs appeared, floating around Kiba.
Stunned, Kiba watched as these small orbs emitted a faint white light.
Eventually, boys and girls began to appear around him.
"Everyone..."
Seeing this, Kiba's tears flowed even more freely. They had returned.
With hands held in front of them, the children slowly opened their mouths, and a sacred hymn began to be sung.
"A hymn?"
Xenovia, having somewhat recovered her strength, watched in disbelief.
These children were likely the victims of the Holy Sword Project. Their souls had persisted and now manifested.
The Holy factors that originally belonged to Kiba, as well as those that belonged to his companions, began to float around him like living entities, eagerly merging into Kiba's body.
The hymn of praise, the blessings of his comrades, the pull of hope... all converged into a single point.
Ordinarily, a hymn would be intolerable for devils. Merely invoking the faith of the God of the Bible would cause backlash, let alone listening to a hymn.
Even if it didn’t cause harm, a hymn would be torturous for a devil.
But in this moment, whether devil or fallen angel, everyone felt an unparalleled warmth as they listened to the hymn, without any discomfort.
"Isaiah, it's okay to let go of us now. You need to live well!"
"Live well!"
"Endure for us, Isaiah!"
...
Echoes of voices reverberated in the surroundings, and Yuuto Kiba, at this moment, was deeply moved.
As the youngest among the children of the Holy Sword Project, he had often received the most care. Even in the face of the threat of death, they still cared about him at the last moment.
"These figures... are they the souls of the children who were with Yuuto?"
Rias exclaimed in astonishment.
"No, these figures are not souls; they are manifestations of longing. They are the hopes and blessings of these children for Yuuto in their final moments of life."
Such a heart-wrenching scene, whether it was Rias, Sona, or even Ravel, who was just tagging along, and the concealed Azazel, all marveled at it.
Humans are truly mysterious beings. Even in despair and adversity, they can nurture hope.
"Everyone, I will live on, carrying each of your hopes."
Yuuto Kiba declared loudly. At this moment, the darkness shrouding his heart finally met the dawn of enlightenment.
His obsession faded, his pain dissolved. As he said, he would live on, carrying the hopes of everyone.
Hum~
At that moment, a surge of magical energy burst forth from Yuuto Kiba.
The Sacred Gear, fueled by human longing, had reached an extreme state within Yuuto Kiba's mind and soul.
The divine power of the Holy Swords and the demonic power of the Demon Swords resonated with each other, forming an unprecedented whole.
At this moment, both the holy and the demonic were encompassed by this power.
Balance Breaker!
Forbidden Move - Dual Sovereign Holy Demon Sword!
The ultimate realm of the Sacred Gear, achieved by Yuuto Kiba at this moment.
The fusion of two fundamentally opposing forces, the holy and the demonic, gave birth to a Holy Demon Sword that shouldn't exist.
"Congratulations, Rias."
Sona said to Rias. A balance breaker, none who reached this stage were weak.
"That Yuuto has finally come out of it."
For Rias, who had watched Yuuto Kiba grow little by little, he was no different from a brother.
Now, with the arrival of the joyous conclusion, all the damned were dead, and there were no casualties among the others. Yuuto Kiba had become the biggest beneficiary of this unexpected turn, not only releasing his obsession but also achieving his Balance Breaker.
And at this moment, August walked step by step to the body of Freed. With a wave of his hand, the new Holy Sword fell into August's grasp.
This Holy Sword, forged from the fusion of the five Holy Swords - Excalibur Destruction, Excalibur Mimic, Excalibur Rapidly, Excalibur Nightmare, and Excalibur Transparency was indeed a fine weapon.
It possessed the abilities of destruction, mimicry, radiance, dream, and transparency.
It was quite a good addition to his collection, as August unwittingly developed a habit of collecting weapons and artifacts. After all, who would complain about having too many treasures?
Xenovia, pretending not to have seen anything, recognized the vast power difference. If Kokabiel had been taken out in one move, it was better for her to stay out of it.
"Alright, everything is over now. Let's head back home."
August said with a smile. Rias and Sona exchanged glances, as if they didn't see the need to follow.
They had come here for nothing. August had single-handedly dealt with Kokabiel, and the lost priest and the exiled Valper Galilei had also been dealt with by Yuuto Kiba.
They were just bystanders here.
Furthermore, Asia had collapsed from the shocking revelations made by Kokabiel, leading to a collapse of her faith.
For Kokabiel, August hadn't cared from the beginning to the end.
Before leaving, August glanced at a distant tree, sensing a familiar presence.
As for Azazel, he was helpless. Not only was August immensely powerful, but even his perception was abnormal. He was truly a monster.
