CxC Chapter 60: Fallen x Felled
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 18:02:44 +0000 UTC~3rd Person~
Boooooom!!!!!
The entire world seemed to still as overwhelming amounts of demonic and holy energy poured out of Yuta's body. As if a nuclear explosion had happened, flames of gold and black reaching to the skies.
Both Kokabiel and Kuroka turned their gazes to the source. Kokabiel's eyes widened especially as he recognized just what exactly the sight in front of him really was.
"Oi oi, I knew the heaven system was broken but I didn't expect for a fucking devil of all things to hold the Durandal!"
A large humanoid standing over 2 meters tall, its flesh resembled armour, like a holy knight from the fairy tales if it weren't made of hardened flesh to resemble armour. A crimson glare seeped through the visor accompanied by two large horns fused into the helmet that revealed the real identity behind the armour.
Fshhh!
Steam poured out of the joints and gaps of the armour from the immense heat under the surface from being burnt alive and regenerating at the same time. A pure white holy aura covered the devil despite the impossibility of it, and it was mixed with the black aura emanating at the same time. Impossible yet in front of their eyes. The tattered red cape behind him seemed to move of its own will as it fluttered without wind.
But the most distinctive part was the magical power of the Devil, which was comparable to that of Kokabiel.
The Devil lifted the Durandal with one hand before pointing it at Kokabiel.
"Ahaha! So you think just because you managed to get your hands on Durandal you can challenge me!? Did you not see-?"
Kokabiel's words were cut short as the devil crouched, his legs visibly grew in size with large veins and muscles bulging against the hardened flesh before he pushed off of the floor and vanished.
Clash!
"Grrrh!!!"
Kokabiel barely had a moment to raise his sword in response before Durandal crashed into it, as the Fused Excalibur and Durandal clashed and locked into a struggle, Kokabiel's eyes widened in panic.
'He can match me!? No, he is weaker, but not by that much.'
"You filthy devil! You think you can match me!?"
Kokabiel poured more holy energy into the sword as he pushed Durandal back with a smirk as he saw the devil being unable to resist his strength. But that was before when the Devil suddenly let go of his sword.
"Huh!?"
As if moved by a foreign pull rather than his own wings Yuta moved to the side Kokabiel slashed due to the barrier of Durandal being gone, cutting the entire forest in half and sending Durandal flying.
As Kokabiel was overextended from his slash and Yuta was in a perfect position at his side, he clenched his fist and drew his arm back.
His arm bulged to over 5 times its size, muscle fibres tearing from the sheer power being repaired by regeneration as veins strained and tore.
Bulk Up
The armour covering the hand cracked apart, but instead of falling off, it instead morphed into a different kind of armour, the hardened pieces grew large into spikes, some digging into the flesh to reinforce it further while others grew into spikes covering the outside of the fist.
Natural Weapons
And Yuta punched.
Crack! Doom!!!
"Graaaahhh!!!"
His fist slammed into Kokabiel's face as the distinct sound of Kokabiel's nose and jaw shattering could be heard all over. Kokabiel was launched back, his body surpassing the speed of sound as his body ripped through a hundred trees and kept flying until his body hit his own barrier.
And Durandal, as if pulled by magic returned to Yuta's has. Trying to force words out of his mouth he faced Kuroka who looked at him with a shocked and blushing expression.
"Kuroka."
"That's so fucking hot- oh uh I mean what nya? "
Yuta gripped his sword harder, trying not to let his words shake from the pain, trying to inject as much solidity into his words as possible.
"Match my pace. If you help, I can kill Kokabiel."
Kuroka saw the look on those eyes behind the visor and recalled all the times he had that look as she spied on him. That absolute unshakable confidence. And that insurmountable resolve like an all-burning flame. She didn't even need to think.
"Got it nya, leave it to me!"
An explosion of holy magic power careened towards them like a divine meteor as Kokabiel ripped through the forest with an enraged expression, holding the Excalibur tightly.
"You! I was going easy on you but not anymore! I would mount your head on my throne! Rapidly!"
Kokabiel's form blurred as Kuroka rapidly wrote several words in the air in succession to invoke her Youjutus.
Clash! Slash! Slash!
"Ahahaha! You cannot defend yourself can you!?!?"
Kokabiel's blade clashed with Yuta's, a power clang of metal meeting metal ringing out each time but as they clashed over and over it was clear who had the upper hand. Not only was Kokabiel better at swordsmanship by several magnitudes but he also had a massive speed advantage, for every time their swords managed to clash, Kokabiel slashed his body 3 times.
Yet despite that, Yuta's body kept regenerating at extreme speeds, even though the wounds wouldn't close due to his nature he wouldn't die now.
"How can you wield Durandal if you can't- Gugh!!!"
Kokabiel was interrupted by several blue flames striking his back and chains emerging from the ground beneath them, snaring his limbs. Allowing Ytuta to slash across his chest, creating a deep gash.
"Graaaah!!!! How dare you!!!"
Kokabiel, boosted by the power of the Excalibur blasted raw holy power to break his binding before clashing with Yuta again, sending him back with the power of his swing.
"You'll need more than that if you want to try killing me! You are a thousand years too young!"
Kokabiel summoned a building-sized spear in his hands and sent it flying towards Kuroka but before it made it even halfway, it was cut in half by Yuta swiping at it from away, a mere spear of energy meaning nothing before the all-cleaving Durandal. They locked eyes.
Kokabiel's red sclera met Yuta's red sclera as they both glared red. Madness and pure hatred carried in Kokabiel's gaze clashed with Yuta's filled pure and unadulterated determination.
Both of them crouched onto the ground, Yuta's legs bulked up as Kokabiel used Rapidly from his Excalibur once more.
Wooossshhh!!!
Clash! Clash! Clash!
The sound of metal meeting metal rang out over and over as both Kokabiel and Yuta moved at extreme speeds, their blades meeting over and over. Occasionally landing a blow on the other.
Their forms were blurs, everyone else couldn't keep up other than Kuroka. Only the afterimages and the terrain being shredded by their clashes were the only signs of them moving from location to location.
Spears burst from the ground but Kokabiel hacked them apart before they reached him as Yuta took the opportunity to land a cut on his cheek. But then was sent into the ground by Kokabiel's wings smashing into him.
Yuta righted himself on the way down and instead used his full strength to swing Durandal at Kokabiel, the burst of Holy Energy sending him into the sky.
Yuta felt the blood leaking down from his lips, eyes, nose and every orifice there was. His body would not last much longer. Even regeneration stopped healing him, it was just pulling his body together to keep him alive. But he didn't have the energy to last more than 20 seconds.
He opened his mouth, his tongue did not want to move but he forced it to, putting all of his strength into his voice.
"KUROKA! HOLD HIM DOWN!!!"
Kuroka's eyes widened before she nodded resolutely and drew upon all of her magical power. Conjuring dozens of chains out of her Youjutsu and Senjutsu that flew towards Kokabiel. She knew it was a stupidly risky manoeuvre but...
She knew she could trust Yuta.
"Kuh! You think these can hold me down!?"
Kokabiel clashed with his sword against the chains, breaking over half of them but the rest managed to capture his wings and bring down his strength with the curses they were imbued with.
At the same time, Yuta crouched. And unleashed his maximum power.
"Graaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!"
He felt himself burn up to ash. His skin was being seared off, his blood literally boiled and his organs tore themselves apart. His body could not handle that much holy power especially when he was even more vulnerable towards it.
His body swelled up to twice its size, his armour getting more jagged as he turned every ability to the max, Bulk Up, Regeneration, Natural Weapons, and Devil Trigger.
Dooooommm!!!!
The entire barrier shook as he pushed off of the ground and appeared before Kokabiel in the blink of an eye, his sword held up high, ready to be swung down.
"DURANDAL-!!!"
The amount of holy energy contained in Durandal was enough to split Kuoh in half a dozen times over but Kokabiel smirked as he tore off the chains binding his arm-
"Useless! It is my victory!"
-And stabbed Excalibur clean through Yuta's chest, piercing and destroying his heart.
"!!!"
Yet to Kokabiel's horror, that did not stop him. The sword was still poised to strike. Ready to cleave through him and this world.
As those red eyes bored into his eyes. The last thing Kokabiel felt was true fear instead of glory.
He swung down.
"-EXALT!!!!!!!!!!"
The world went white as the holy sword wielded by the devil split the cadre and the entire barrier covering Kuoh clean in half.
DOOOMMM!!!!!!!
All of Kuoh and the surrounding cities shook from the sheer amount of magical power that was swung as the entire city was bathed in holy light that blinded all else. It took more than several seconds as the holy glow died down.
'Trigger... off...'
The holy sword fell out of his hand as Yuta's transformation wore off, revealing a charred, lacerated torn body with a hole in the chest as the outer shell of the devil trigger fell apart. Shattered pieces of Kokabiel's barrier fell like snow as Yuta looked up.
'I guess I'm dying again huh?'
Yet a smile was on his lips despite the dying agony.
The last breath escaped his lips.
Yuta Yukimura had died.
Except...
In front of Yuta's eyes, the world around him froze completely in place and he couldn't but smirk.
'It sure took its time.'
The image of a translucent imaginary heart appeared above his lifeless body.
Ygdar Orus Li Ox.
A skeleton had appeared out of the ether and grabbed a hold of the heart, squeezing the transient heart as blood dripped down onto Yuta's body, the hand kept squeezing the blood out of the imaginary heart like a fruit getting its juices squeezed out.
You
Only
Live
~Once~
The hand kept squeezing the heart until every drop of blood was forced out and imbued into Yuta's body as he took a breath, the hole in his chest was recovered fully. And so were every lethal wound on his body but nothing else.
The skeletal hand let go of the head, leaving behind a dried-out out heart that crumbled into dust as Yuta gave a nervous smile.

You have cheated death

And moments later time returned to its normal flow with Yuta plummeting through the air. Absolutely devoid of any stamina or magical energy.
Yet a victorious smirk was plastered on his face.
Feat Achieved! Kill Kokabiel with Kuroka's help

+1x Platinum Trait Gacha Ticket
Feat Achieved! Save the Occult Research Club and Sona Sitri
3x Random Gold Gacha Ticket
A/N: DURANDAL EXALT! Man, I loved writing this fight so much. Yuta really nailed his balls to the walls and used actual suicide charge as an ability. He was not strong enough to kill Kokabiel himself but thanks to Durandal's whole schtick being able to cut anything he managed to. What did you guys think about the Kokabiel fight? Ygdar Orus Li Ox came in the most clutch.
Holy gacha is here alongside the first-ever Legendary Ticket. And a bunch of tickets. Yuta is getting showered in gold and after this is when things are going to start getting really chaotic. I hope you guys look forward to what's going to happen next.

Thanks, it was pretty difficult to write enough that it felt like a fight but not long enough that it took multiple chapters so I'm glad. Yuta will need some serious healing after this, and thankfully Kuroka is very skilled in the tantric arts(literally) if you know what I am saying.
BronzDeck
That was the whole point, I was banking on people forgetting about Yolo to make the scene better. Killing a Cadre will definitely have some unforseen results thats for sure.
BronzDeck
From everyone's perspective Yuta instantly went from dying to severely injured in an instant. But Kiba will find a way to seethe somehow.

I am setting the minimum of the Legendary Ticket to Legendary because its about time I roll one and it would suck narritelvy if he didn't. Azazel was too busy playing the demo of Yugioh Penemue gave him to call in Vali.

A few more mistakes in spelling than usual but a great chapter, thanks!

I could visualize the fight and I gotta say, this had to have been one of the best fights I've read in any dxd fanfic. It was long enough to feel like an actual fight, but not too drawn out to feel like I'm reading an essay. The tag team with Kuroka was definitely what this needed to feel like a team effort, and the finishing move was the cherry on top. I really hope the next chapter is soon because I am absolutely loving this story.

I had forgot about YOLO. Nice move. That works so damn will. I'll suicide charge your ass then come back to dance on your grave. So freaking smart. Can't wait to see all the rolls. He gonna get such a boost from this. Now what are the repercussions? Killing a Cadre and wielding durandal has some serious aspects to them. How is our favorite Satan, and female Cadre gonna react? How is rias and sona gonna reward him? And what will poor not Bobby do?
Rauko the varment
TFTC!

Sin devil trigger 7.3(this can't be for real lmao) Gold random tickets: 122. Delta stream 3.0 7.Samson 3.4 25. Water Breathing 3.1 Holy shit this pull is good as hell.

Bro is SO getting laid after this 😂
Melegant
Also how about making it take effect a little after so u can make a chap about Kiba blaming durandal for yuta's death before he resurrect?
Melegant
Would be cool if people misunderstood this as a miracle from God saving yuta.

Love the way you wrote this fight, it was quick paced but showed all it needed to about the charachters , Yuta used everything he had and it payed off hope to see an amazing roll from that legendary ticket!

I know the whole shtick is the gacha gives out random rewards but I do feel that considering some exceptional feats should give a more guaranteed reward. Considering what he just did with Durandal and survived he should have some kind of holy resistance or holy sword factor added to him. If not from the gacha then from heavens system. It certainly rewards such feats like that. Also admittedly a little disappointed that we didn’t get any wing dismemberment from Kocky Bill here. That certainly would have been a cherry on the cake, but didn’t have the time or the power to do that so it is what it is. Is Vali still gonna show up and realize he’s a little late to bail out Kock Bitch. Wonder how that’ll play out. And hopefully Yuta doesn’t get screwed by the gacha and gets an actual legendary or higher perk. It would be bad taste for the first legendary across all your fics to give just an elite. Any way, loved it all and can’t wait for more bud!
Maleficarum
Yuta deserves some extreme pampering for this underdog victory. Absolute smothering in breasts.
