Chapter 68 - Capital Of Lilith.
As Castiel and the rest of Kurayami's pets flew and ran in the sky at they all saw why Kurayami wanted to do this so badly. It gave you a rush being on the back of such strong creatures. They knew it would terrify weak devils, however, compared to Tyrant most of them were small, but they were huge nonetheless. The sound of their chravel was like a jet engine.
On Castiel's back, Ophis was hugging Kurayami's arm and she felt happy as she and Kurayami trained his pets to be as strong as they were now. Ladon was too unstable to be out like this as the first chance he got he would try to kill people. He could only be with Kurayami who could control him.
Esdeath, Artemis, and Lavinia were on Blitz and they could see how much effort Kurayami put into his pets as they all were perfect. His pets were full of dense muscle and beutufl fur, or scales. Blitz was full of muscle and his strides were full of power. Zhang was galloping while his hooves and body courses ripped with his aura. Azrael was on Aurora and he was positive she was close to Regulus in power. .
The ones on Zhang were Akeno and Raynare. Raynare looked at Kurayami. "You know where we're going" Kurayami nodded. "The meeting is in the capital of Lilith." They nodded and Kurayami raised his hand "Full speed."
All of Kurayami's pets roared and charged at full speed and they all saw how forests and mountains passed by. Demonic beasts on the way we're attracted to Kurayami's aura, but seeing the group of ultimate class beasts made them hold back. Akeno looked over. "Brother, how strong is Blitz?" Kurayami smiled. "On his own, he could fight a Ultimate Class being on his own."
Blitz neighed in agreement and Raynare looked at Zhang. "What about Zhang?" Kurayami thought about it. "He can use fire and lightning along with demonic power, so he is a close range mage. His father is a Quilin turned devil of Sirzechs. He might meet his father their." Zhang snarled and they kept asking about it his familirs and he gave detailed explanations of them.
When they got to the devil territory they passed over towns and soon they reached a point where a few battalions of devil soldiers rushed to stop them, but Kurayami raised his hand. His pets all stoped and flew or however in the air and he got off Castiel. He went towards the devil captain and he got out a card given to him by Azazel and gave it to the captain.
When the captain saw the seal of Sirzechs he looked back. "How did you get this?" Kurayami sighed. "I am the fiance of Rais Gremory, the little sister of the devil king. We are on the way to the captain city of Lilith and for the young devil meeting." The captain moved aside. "Sir, may we escort you there?" Kurayami nodded.
The captain looked at his troops. "Men, we follow." Kurayami's familiar had to slow down, but it was a good show of the power of having an escort. Azrael looked at Kurayami and if he was not wearing sunglasses he would have a happy look in his eyes. He was eating this up. The devils didn't show it outright, but they were terrified of all of the familiars.
One young devil who had just joined a year ago almost pissed himself when he looked Castile in the eye as he saw nothing but an urge to kill him. Castiel was a holy creature and he wanted nothing more than to kill them all as he felt they were filthy. Ophis patted the tiger on the head and he calmed down.
They passed through many cities until they got to the capital and they landed a a mile away and the captain looked at them all. "This is as far as we go. May your time be enjoyable." Azrael nodded. "Thank you for your escort." The devil escort all left and Lavinia smiled. "They were nice." Raynare flew off Blitz toward Azrael. "Hey grandpa, if you were to fight the great satans who would win."
They all waited for his answer. Azrael had a pondering look and he explained.
"Well, if I go all out I am sure I will win. Death magic that we use is not something to look down upon. The amount I used when I purged the Himejima clan might have been only 40% of my full power. Trust me, if I ever go all out, probably most of the underworld will become baren. You will one day surpass me Raynare. You are the host of a dragon king and once you get all of his soul I assure you that will be Loginous worthy."
Raynare nodded. She wanted to live up to Azrael's legacy and Kurayami knew she will get their, but Kurayami still had great respect for his grandfather-in-law. He considers Azrael his real grandfather as he didn't have a grandparent. Kurayami smiled "Well, let's hope neither of us has to go all out." Raynare looked at Kurayami and Ophis. "If you go all out, how strong are you?" Ophis still had his arm locked and buried in her breasts and he thought about it.
"In my time training, I have unlocked two abyss side balance breakers for both my Longinus. I still need to fuse them into one, but I also have a form that uses the Infinite of Ophis. Even though I can use it, I rather not as it only lasts about 4 minutes and I am left exhausted." Ophis nodded. "Need more time."
Raynare thought about it. "So, after this are we going the get the last parts of Viritra's soul?" Kurayami nodded. As they approached the gate the army of the Gremory clan saw them and approached. Souji recognized them and he appeared as if he was the wind.
"Azrael, Kurayami. I see you two are still in high health. Please come in." The gate opened and a Qilin who was tiny compared to Zhang was here. He was Enku, Sirzechs pawn and the father of Zhang. He was proud of his son and he wanted to talk to him, but now was not the time. He left to report to Sirzechs and yet he wanted to hurry up.
The main gate opened up and as his familiars were armored from head to toe and were huge the ground shook as they walked. The meeting would take place at the main castle and news was going wild of their group. Who would not be impressed by seeing so many powerful legendary beasts. All at the ultimate class and a dragon king.
As they walked through the city people watched on in awe. One little boy was watching and he looked right at Zhang who looked him in the eye. The boy smiled and waved at Zhang. Zhang looked at the boy and kept walking. The boy pulled on his dad's sleeve. "Dad, it looked at me." The boy's father nodded.
From a distance, Sairorg's attention was on Aurora and he looked at Kurayami who he felt was the master of all of them. He smiled and hoped to have a fight with him and many young devils, and their protectors were interested in what family they were from. One heir looked at ogled the girls more importantly Ophis. When she felt his gaze she frowned and pulled on Kurayami''s sleeve. He looked over to the guy and heterrifying curse on him.
For the next week he wold have nightmares that grow in intensity until his mind breaks. Kurayami patted her on the head. "He looked at you funny?" She nodded. "Felt defiled." Azrael looked at that and smiled. 'Who told that brat to be a creep.' When they got to the castle they were getting all the attention and in one of the rooms of the huge castle, Rias was looking out the window. She saw these huge beasts and felt they would be perfect for her peerage.
Her attention was taken by Zhang as he was Quillin like Enku, but he was way too big. She ran off to look for her brother. When she saw him he was looking outside with a small screen. "Brother, who are the people with the beasts? They all look strong." Sirzechs smiled when he saw his sister.
"They are the fallen angels we invited for peace talks. Your fiancé is one of them, and as you will marry him, he might let you take one of his familiars for your peerage. If you saw the Quilin he is a son of Enku."
Rias was surocied as he used to be Rias's caretaker, so knowing his son was out there she wanted to go see it. However, she was told she had a fiance choose for her years ago and tried to get out of it. "I don't want to marry him. I want to marry someone I choose and you said he was a fallen angel. Why must I marry our enemy?"
He sighed and sat down. "Rias, this is for the sake of peace. He has two Longinus and is a super fallen Angel. If we fight we devils will lose. Grigori has 6 Longinous, two super beings and on top of that great talent. In this time Grigori has upped us and he is then the same as me as a being who surpassed his race. Do this for the greater good."
Rias looked down and started to cry and ran away. "I refuse." Sirzechs sighed and saw how Kurayami had an air around him as he looked down on all devils. That was not good as he hoped Kurayami would be more accepting and be easier to be around.
Kurayami did not say it out loud, but he was very proud of his lineage. He didn't see devils in good light for what they did to Kuroka. If she did not kill the ones responsible he would have.
Quite a few devils kept away from his group for obvious reasons, but the real reason was when they looked at Shin. The cross on his neck gave them all feeling of dread. Incinerate Anthem was one sacred gear that was made to kill devils and even a devil king would be hard-pressed to take it head-on.
However, not all devils had common sense. One very fat devil walked in front of Kurayami with his guard who was in the high class. The guard was a former human with a sacred gear, but it was not a very strong one. The fat heir looked at the whole group and especially the girls
"So, what the hell are you? You should know who I am. I am the heir of the can of Beleth." Kurayami looked down and patted the guy on the shoulder. "Someone you should not bother." Kurayami pushed the guy aside and his whole group began to pass. The guy turned bright red and did not take it well.
He looked at Ophis who was locked arm in arm with Kurayami and he grabbed her free hand. The moment he touched her Kurayami eyes began to glow a deep shade of violet that even his glasses did not hide. He grabbed the guy by the throat and raised him in the air.
He began to crush the fat devil's neck and the guy's guard activated his sacred gear. It was a Twice Critical and yet Raynare looked him in the eyes and the guy felt his sacred geat not listen to his command. As a dragon king Vritra was far stronger and the guard was knocked out. Kurayami's group all sighed and waited for Kurayami's choice
Kurayami snapped the guy's neck and dropped him. The guy was alive, but he would need immediate care to walk again. "MY NECK! HELP ME! I CAN'T MOVE!" A few people ran to check on him and found out his neck was broken. Sirzechs face palmed as at least he was alive. He looked at Grayfia. "Grayfia, can you set up his transfer to the hospital."
Lucky for the guy the best hospital in the underworld was here in the city and he should make a swift recovery. Even if he might bankrupt his whole family to do it. Kurayami's pets all shrunk down to a reasonable size and walked with him on the way. Artemis looked around.
"Is it just me, or are some devils looking like they are dispirited?" Kurayami sighed. "From what I heard, not all reincarnated devils were turned by their own will. Some were forced and they have low spirits as most devils are prideful and cruel." It was true as very few devils of the higher standing treated their servants well.
When they entered the castle Souji was their escort. "Follow me. Even though I don't agree with your choice, at least you didn't kill him. He should't have touched her." Kurayami looked back. "I did it to save his life. If she got mad the whole city would be gone." Souji looked at Ophis who did not feel strong. "Who is she?" Ophis was going to say her name, but Kurayami looked over.
"My lover." Ophis had learned what that was from him and froze. Souji nodded and they kept walking. Ophis looked at him. "Lover?" Kurayami sighed. "Sorry if you hated it?" She shook her head. "Don't mind." They kind of got in a world of their own and out of nowhere, Kurayami's right arm was held by Raynare.
"Stop ignoring us. After you came back you spend all your time with Ophis."
Lavinia nodded. "You seem distant." Esdeath sighed. "Did't want to say it out loud, but you talk way less than you used to. It seems you are struggling to talk." He sighed. "I will explain." They were led to their rooms and he, Ophis, Artemis, Raynare, Lavinia and Esdetah entered the room and Baraqiel and Azrael left and Baraqiel looked at Akeno.
"Akeno, let's leave them alone. They need to sort some things out."
Akeno almost spilled the beans and sighed. She needed to tell her parents soon and she looked at Kurayami who nodded at her. She left with Baraqiel. Raynare, Esdeath, and Lavinia all looked at Kurayami who once again had his arm locked with Ophis.
"I am sorry if I seem distant. I was alone for over two years and Ophis is not much of a conversation partner." They all looked at Ophis and they realized the number of times they heard her speak it was when she was talked to. Never spoke first. Lavinia hugged him and smiled. Ophis let go of his arm and sat on a couch.
"Be honest, you felt lonely." He sighed and nodded. "Sometimes it did feel like I was alone. Sorry Ophis." She was eating a chocolate bar and she shook her head. "True." He sighed as she was always quite and while she would talk to him it was in short phrases.
Esdeath looked at Ophis. "How stong are you Ophis?" She looked at Esdeath and smiled. "Strongest, if not for Baka Red." Kurayami explained. "She is the strongest being in this world besides Great Red. It is my goal to defeat him." Around Raynare formed Viritra and he looked at Ophis and Kurayami. "You just may have a chance."
Raynare sat ona couch and thought of something. "When are you going to tell your mother and father about your and Akeno's relationship." Kurayami had a thoughtful look on his face and he laid down on the bed. Ophis felt he was troubled as they could feel each others emotions. She got up and she walked to him. She ran her hand though his hair. He looked into her black eyes and felt they were really pretty.
He got up and slapped himself. "Well, I can't mope about. I will tell my parents after this." The girls nodded. Raynare had a cheeky look and smiled. "When are you getting Kuroka her kittens?" He froze and thought about it. "As soon as she entered her matting season." Esdeath looked over. "While I do not want kids anytime soon, I wonder what it will be like?"
Raynare hugged Kurayami. "We will know in time." Artemis was sitting in a chair and she saw how they were all looking at her funny. "Something wrong?" Kurayami sighed. "You can sometimes be just as quite as Ophis." Artmeis nodded. "Sorry, I sometimes just easer my presence out of nowhere." Someone knocked on the door and Kurayami opened it.
He saw Grayfia and she bowed. "Sirzechs and the rest of the devil kings wish to meet you." Kurayami nodded. "Just me?" Grayfia nodded. "It has to do with your engagement." He sighed as he did not want to marry someone he never met. Ophis suddly appeared next to him and took his arm.
Grayfia berely felt her move and something told her their was more to this girl than meets the eyes. Kurayami and Ophis followed Grayfia toward the meeting and he walked arm in arm with Ophis. As he walked a few devils gave him looks of envy as Ophis was a total beughty. However some female devils looked at his face and they wanted to see his eyes.
Nothing could be seen behind those black glasses as he made it with Shin and his control over shadows. These glasses were pretty much solid darkness and yet he could still see. When he got to the meeting room Grayfia opened the door and let them come in.
The four devil kings and Rias were in the room and he asumed she was the girl they wanted him to marry. He really wanted to get this over with.
