Chapter 55: Confrontation - 2
Raizel's calm demeanor never wavered as he continued to explain the 'Carian Regal Scepter' to Akeno. "This scepter amplifies your magical attacks significantly. Its power comes from ancient times, crafted for royalty. With it, your offensive capabilities will reach new heights."
Everyone around them was visibly shocked, not just by the artifact's power but by the sheer fact that Raizel possessed such rare and legendary treasures.
The murmurs among them grew, admiration and awe mixing with curiosity.
"How does he have so many powerful artifacts?" Kiba whispered, his eyes filled with amazement.
"He's like a walking treasury," Xenovia added, unable to hide her surprise.
Raizel, seemingly unaffected by their reactions, turned towards Asia, who had been tending to the injured. With a simple gesture, he summoned 'Avalon', the legendary sheath known for its unparalleled healing properties.
The shimmering gold and blue artifact radiated a soothing aura as he handed it to Asia.
"This is Avalon," Raizel said, his voice gentle yet firm. "It is said to grant unparalleled healing and protection. Use it to aid those who need your help."
Asia took the artifact with trembling hands, feeling the warmth and peace emanating from it. "Thank you, Raizel. I'll do my best to help everyone."
The sight of yet another legendary item from Raizel left the group speechless once more. The sheer depth of his resources was staggering, each artifact carrying with it a history of power and legend.
"How many treasures does he have?" Issei muttered, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Azazel chuckled softly, clearly less surprised than the others. "Raizel is full of surprises. Each artifact he brings out seems more powerful than the last."
As Raizel dismissed Marmyadose, the sword dissolved into light, leaving no trace behind. His composure remained steady, as though wielding such power was as natural as breathing.
The battlefield around them felt different now, infused with a sense of hope and determination, thanks to the treasures Raizel had bestowed.
With renewed vigor, the group prepared to face whatever came next, their confidence bolstered by Raizel's unwavering presence and the incredible artifacts he had shared.
As the battle raged on, Raizel calmly extended his hand, and from the ethereal light, Excalibur materialized in his grasp.
The legendary sword shimmered with an almost divine radiance, its sheer presence commanding awe and respect. The collective gasp from everyone echoed through the battlefield, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
"Is that... Excalibur?" Rias whispered, unable to hide her astonishment.
"How does he have Excalibur? Isn't it supposed to be broken?" Kiba's voice was filled with disbelief, his gaze fixed on the iconic weapon.
Even Vali, who had been engaged in his own intense combat, took a moment to glance over, his eyes narrowing in surprise. "He wields Excalibur? This just keeps getting more interesting."
The only one who seemed unfazed was Azazel. He stood with his usual smirk, clearly already aware of Raizel's possession of the legendary sword.
"Well, I did say he was full of surprises, didn't I?" Azazel commented, his tone laced with amusement.
Raizel, unaffected by the reactions around him, raised Excalibur, its blade gleaming brilliantly under the light.
The power it radiated was palpable, and the atmosphere shifted as the legendary sword infused the battlefield with a sense of overwhelming strength and righteousness.
With a swift, fluid motion, Raizel swung Excalibur, its blade slicing through the air with a hum of pure power. The remaining magicians and enemies found themselves overwhelmed, unable to match the sheer might of the sword and its wielder.
"Unbelievable," Xenovia muttered, her eyes filled with admiration and shock. "That's the true Excalibur… and he wields it like it's an extension of himself."
As Raizel continued to wield Excalibur with unmatched skill, the shockwaves of his actions reverberated through everyone present. His calm composure, even while wielding such a powerful artifact, spoke volumes about his mastery and control.
In the midst of battle, Raizel's presence became the cornerstone of their hope, his actions and artifacts a testament to his unparalleled strength and the mysteries surrounding him.
As the battle raged on, a sudden surge of energy caught everyone's attention. From the shadows, Vali emerged, his aura radiating power as he activated his Balance Breaker, the Divine Dividing Scale Mail. The white armor shimmered brilliantly, a stark contrast to the dark chaos around them.
Vali's eyes met Raizel's, a silent understanding passing between them. Without exchanging words, they moved in unison, their combined presence overwhelming the battlefield.
Vali, with his incredible speed and the power of division, began neutralizing the magicians' spells and energy attacks, halving their strength and rendering them ineffective.
Raizel, wielding his legendary weapons and casting powerful spells, worked seamlessly alongside Vali. His strikes with Excalibur were precise and devastating, cutting through the enemy ranks with ease. Meanwhile, he continued to cast spells, neutralizing distant threats and shielding his allies.
The synergy between Raizel and Vali was unparalleled. While Vali focused on dismantling the magicians' defenses and weakening their attacks, Raizel delivered powerful, finishing blows. Their movements were synchronized, a blend of brute force and strategic precision.
Vali unleashed devastating energy blasts, forcing the magicians into disarray, while Raizel's calculated strikes ensured none escaped. Their combined assault was a spectacle of power, skill, and coordination, leaving the enemy forces in shambles.
As the last of the magicians fell, the battlefield grew silent. The leaders and onlookers could only watch in awe as Raizel and Vali stood amidst the aftermath, their combined efforts having decisively turned the tide of battle. The display of their prowess left an indelible impression on everyone present, solidifying their reputation as formidable warriors and allies.
