Chapter 74: Black Dragon Emperor Part 4
BATTLE BETWEEN ICE Location the Underworld, the Capital City of Lilith; Rating Stadium, Pocket Dimension: Castle Terrain, Near a Castle
Mizore she'd arrived near to a simple looking medieval castle. Having just heard that someone has taken down one of thekr opponents. Meaning that their having the lead, taking out one of the tanks of the enemy, would be a big blow to their morale. As she'd finished her lollipop, Mizore, she'd tossed away the stick, reached into the front pocket of her sweatshirt and pulled out another lollipop. Unwrapping it and popping it in her mouth. When suddenly frost started forming around Mizore, not that it affects her at all. She said in a lovely, cold tone, "Using ice, against a snow woman? Kinda redundant. Don't you think?" looking up, at her opponent flying in the air. Flying there, was red suit woman, blond haired, Coriana Andrealphus. A bishop of Sairaorg, as Corina responded, "Everything has limits. Even your kind most have a limit against magical ice." Mizore, along with her parents spectating in the VIP area, though that this woman was...an idiot. Yuki-onna of Rosario + Vampire are in a completely different level than DXD, and Mizore was stronger than both kinds of snow women currently. As she transformed her hands into ice claws. Their battle has begun, Coriana casted a powerful ice spell, which only fuel Mizore that started releasing her ice power, freezing the grass field around her feet.
Blasting ice ray making a ice road with her Ice Mold skill. Skating upwards directly at Coriana. Coriana, she hummed and started sending ice spears at Mizore. Which failed to do anything to Mizore, as those ice spears stopped just beside her. Floating right beside Mizore, as she continued to rush towards Coriana. Tsurara, was proud of the power that her daughter has obtained, since coming to this world. Plus the time she's got to spend with her son-in-law, she'll admit that Laharl, was a better man for Mizore. And actually paid attention to her daughter, and she's grew into a fine, strong, young woman. Mizore, she tried to swipe her ice claws at Coriana, but her opponent managed to avoid her attacks. So instead she'd threw her opponent's ice spears right back at her, along with a barrage of razor sharp Icicles at Coriana. Coriana, she'd managed to dodge all the attack of her pawn opponent, making this battle quite challenging for her.
She'd tried to increased the power of her ice magic, but nothing worked against the Pawn of Laharl. When suddenly she'd felt a intense chill on her ankle. Looking down, she saw a shackle and chain of ice, strapped onto her right ankle. As she'd heard Mizore speak, "Amatuer. Never underestimated the power of a snow woman, in love." as she was pulled down, and crashed against the ground. Mizore, she'd stealthily use her Ice Mold to make a chain and bring the speedy flier to her, now Coriana was on the ground. Mizore, focused her ice magic, through the ice chain to freeze Coriana into place. Trapping her target, as Coriana struggled, not believing a pawn that wasn't promoted was able to outclass her in ice magic. Mizore formed a ice road, leading straight to Coriana. Using one hand to blast ice and boost herself forward in greater speeds. Ice skating with great skill and speed, as Coriana knew, she'd lost. As she'd await the upcoming blow, she wished her king good luck, as Mizore struck with her ice claw in such a force of impact, that all icy restrains on Coriana were broken and she was lunged straight through a watchtower of the west side of the castle over the hill. She has won, reverting her hands back, and breathing out a cold icy breathe. Her Skating Swipe attack has been perfected, as she'd heard Serafall announced, "Sairaorg's bishop retired!!" thus making two opponents eliminated. Seems her techniques worked in the end, still hard to believe all her techniques and fighting style, she'd modeled after game and anime ice users. Not that it bothered Mizore, she has gained another victory for their peerage and lover. As she started walking off to another direction.
KNIGHT VS EMPRESS Location the Open Field Area
A wide green field, Nero was in her red coat flapping in the air, her draco arm, and her Aestus Estus at the ready, for any upcoming battles. That's when she'd heard a horse neighing. Trusting her instincts, she'd leap to the side with her scarlet longsword pointing at her opponent. Armed with a medieval knight, with a lance in his hand, and mounted on a dark horse. This is a knight of Sairaorg, Beluga Furcas, pointing his lance at Nero, challenging her to a match. Nero she'd "umu" as she can respect a knight with great valor!! As she made a dramatic introduction, "Umu!! I Nero Claudius, the Red Saber. Knight of my love, Laharl. Accepts your challenge, sir knight." Nero hasn't faced a true knight in a long time, not since Gwain. Regardless it shall be a good fight. A sentiment that Beluga shares, as he rushed in blinding speeds. Almost banishing from sight, and Nero with a happy smile responded in kind. Banishing and reappearing in another part of the field, blocking Beluga's lance. They'd disappear again, and reappear in another location with Beluga blocking Nero's sword as she performed a leaping spining downward slash. This exchange of high-speed combat, happened over and over in this open field. When suddenly they appeared again at the center of the field, some distance from each other. Both impressed with the other's speed, and power, as it took Beluga every bit of strength to block and parry Nero's attacks. But from what the medieval knight could tell, Nero wasn't being serious yet. As she was smiling, and still raring to go.
Nero, she stretched out her left draco arm. Swipping into the air, as a red scaled, draconian serpent sprouted from the ground and attacked Beluga. Using his speed, he dodge the splitter mouth serpent that Nero summoned. But the serpent didn't stop attacking, and it didn't help that Nero rushed to join the fray. Wether it was dodge the beast or blocking Nero's strong and fast attack, it was clear that Beluga couldn't hold back anymore. Pulling the reigns of his steed, he created some distance to use his power. The power of Duplication, make not just a duplicate of his lance, but himself and his horse, Altobrau, all sharing his enhanced speed and abilities. As they charged at Nero and her serpent, the Roman Empress smiled as she'd rised her draco arm and summon fort the other serpents, the other six, the Beast of seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns, under her command. This is the first time, she's truly used the power of her Beast class, but this Beluga was a intriguing opponent. So as a sign of respect, she was fighting seriously. As the seven serpents attacked, smashing some of the duplicates, as she channeled her demonic power through Aestus Estus making it flare up in crimson, magical flames. Rushing back into the fray.
Beluga was now struggling, at first he'd thought the serpent was Nero's ace. But it turns out not only does she have six more, but she'd also held back her sword's true power. When suddenly Nero, she decapitated a couple of duplicates. Bursting in crimson flames, as he and a couple of his duplicates rushed her. Performing multiple rapid thrust attacks, she blocked several the attacks and managed to take out two more of the duplicates. When a few of the duplicates started to overwhelm Nero, she activate her Laudatum Domus Illustris. A pair of massive golden floating pauldrons over shoulders, with three energy-cannon barrels at the front of those pauldrons. Blasting a magical rays in such a high-speed, destroying multiple duplicates. Beluga, wasn't able to fully evade one of those beams, as it struck and destroyed his right shoulder pauldron. Then he saw Nero stand on top of one her serpents, and proclaim, "Umu!! Your truly a knight of great caliber!!! But compared to this enchanting maiden, and my...(as she started to summon her grand rose theater)...golden theater of roses, it I that bloom in grace!!" Nero has unleashed her Noble Phanstam. Making the audience go crazy, as rose petals storm slicing apart all the duplicates. Leaving only the real Beluga, as Nero struck in such speed, she'd slashed Beluga before he could even react, burning and blasting him, but Nero wasn't done yet. Performing V slash, finishing her opponent. Causing a massive, magical, fiery explosion that was unimpeded by any defenses, causing more damage to Beluga. As Beluga was covered in burns and cuts, he fell off his horse unconscious. Serafall, she announced, "Sairaorg's knight retired!!" as Beluga and his horse were teleported away. She "umu" placing her arms over her waist, and sent away her serpents, and banished Laudatum Domus Illustris. She'd twirl around, as she placed a arm over her chest, and bowed, dramatically to the audience, making them more excited. As Nero rushed away to keep fighting more worthy opponents.
OBI & SORCERESS AGAINST TRICK VANISH Location the Brokendown Watchtower
Daki and Raven managed to reunited while searching for any opponents. They were going through a path with a large medieval stone tower with a red pointed top, and knocked over. Leaning barely from a nearby cliff. Daki was running while Raven flew right beside her. When suddenly Raven sensed magic and used her Soul-Self to protect herself and Daki, as a stream of fire hit them. After a while the flames ceased, a kid of green hair with a white hooded cape over his head appeared. His name Misteeta Sabnock. Showing himself from the window on the side of the watchtower. Raven, retracted her Soul-Self, as she and Daki were now in a battle, three bishops ready to fight. Misteeta, he knows that his enemies have great magical potential and capabilities, his only strategy against them in extreme long ranged combat. Plus he has his sacred gear, Trick Vanish, that can tip the scales of this fight, anytime he uses it. But suddenly Daki attacked him, sending her obi-strands at him. Making Misteeta sneak back into the tower, as Daki slashed apart the tower. Daki, she clicked her tongue, as she knows that she's missed her target. Turning her gaze at Raven, without needing any words, Raven, she'd understood and used fire magic, manifesting in black flames, she'd launched these fireballs to the tower. Causing multiple explosions onto the watchtower, breaking apart much of the watchtower. Snapping in half and crashing down onto the ground. But Misteeta managed to avoid any serious damage, from either Raven or Daki's attacks. Apart from bruises and cuts from the aftermath of those previous attacks.
Daki and Raven briefly talk about a quick plan. Raven faded into the Soul-Self, leaving the battle...for now. This sight worries Misteeta, not knowing what his enemies might be planing. As he saw Daki jump into watchtower on the eastside, breaking through the side without issue. Standing on the side of the crooked wall, that now acted as floor. Seems he couldn't think of Raven at the moment, he needed to deal with Daki first. Daki, she sent strands of her obi to cut and slash Misteeta. Using his magic to form fire magic to protect himself, but his casting speed was able to fully block all of Daki's attacks. This was obvious to the obi devil, as Misteeta was backing up, every chance he could, thinking that her obi has a limit, when she was a demon yes, now her Blood Demon Art is fully dependent on her magical power and reserves. A benefit amplified by being a bishop. And she's using it to it's fullest, as she spread out a massive amount of obi-strands, layering them over one another in order to perform her Multi-Layered Obi Slash technique. Those multiple strands at the horizontal swipe of her arms, slashed and slice apart everything to hit her target. He was cornered, so he summoned his Trick Vanish. As usual it took the form of a staff, a layered purple staff, that shun a bright light, activating its power. Purple marking started to spread on Daki's body and obi-strands. As her Blood Demon Art was temporarily sealed. All the obi-strands, started to retract back into her main body, Daki growled as this kid, dared to do that to her!! So she'd decided to stop holding back, as a massive surge of demonic power burst fort from Daki, and in a blur, she'd appeared right in front of a shocked Misteeta, as she uppercut him with such force. That he was lunged out of the watchtower, grunting and bleeding from his mouth. As never a bishop has been this physical capable, let alone actually fight in melee. Daki emerge from the watchtower, shattering its structure more. She kicked Misteeta over to the cliff, he screamed as he rolled onto the ground and grass. He looked at Daki that landed at the edge of the cliff, she was no longer black haired, instead it turned white with green tips. She was still bound by his Trick Vanish, but whatever Daki has done, was completely different to her obi power, as Misteeta stood back, shakingly stood up cause his fight with Daki has just begun...
