Ch17: Fight, Forbidden move and plans

(3rd pov)

In the alternate dimension, explosions were going off as the land shook and the terrain was destroyed. A part of the land has turned into lava with Ice raining down on it with occasional tremors as the Ox welding monster was causing mini earthquakes and lava waves with each attack while the ice princess was avoiding and doing to counter attack with her blizzards and ice spears.

Another part was turned into great volumes of water with serpents of said water attacking or getting evaporated by a giant wielding a cross made out of purple of flames who seemed to be slowly losing ground as it can't seem to operate on full strength.

And lastly, in another part, where all kind of elemental attacks were being thrown around, with a giant monster that seems transparent floating above said place, 2 people seem to be flinging spells at each other like there's no tomorrow, which is somewhat true as this is a death battle.

This is Samuel and Augusta, who is possessing Lavinia's body, and although the battle hasn't been going on for long, she was already exhausted as she was fighting this seemingly inexhaustible enemy while powering 2 longinus. As her concentration slipped a little, she found herself open for a hit by a large water spray spell, she quickly blocked it by a hastily made barrier that didn't survive the attack which sent her tumbling on the ground. As she was trying to desperately not lose focus and in return cause her spell to collapse, she looked at her enemy who didn't seem like he has been fighting at all, with his body being covered by a black organic thing under his attire and the staff in his hand. She wheezed and said.

" A-Aren't you afraid of hurting this girl's body!? If you continue anymore than thus, I will be burning this body!!" which made him stop and look at her without any kind of emotion on his face. She smirked and was about to order him to lift the alternate dimension spell, but she heard him say.

" Do it now, she is exhausted enough" hearing this, the being that was floating above them suddenly looked at her and she felt as if a sledgehammer has hit her head, causing her to let out a pained scream from the intense headache. Seeing this Samuel said.

" Huh, so I was right, the holy relics all offer a kind of mental protection. Well that was one goal achieved, goodnight" Saying this, a double halo materialised above his head as a nail of light was in his hand, which he sent at the still screaming Augusta hitting her in the head, although weirdly the nail didn't seem to have done any physical damage, which made her stop and drop like a doll that had its strings cut off. Soon, a light ball has gone out of Lavinia's body as both the Ice doll and the fire giant stopped, with the latter dissipating and the first seemingly teleporting and materialising next to its host's body, the light ball soon turned into Augusta's original body.

Looking at all of this, Samuel dismissed both Leviathen and his Lava Ox monster, leaving DABIH-CRYSTALLUS floating behind him. He then seemed to close his eyes a little and then opened them a bit later, as he said.

" Come closer" which made the Ice Princess come closer, smiling a little he looked at it all over before shrugging and telling it to demarterialise. Then looking at Lavinia he thought a little, made her forget everything as she was still able to see even without control over her body and then casually loosened the restrictions on the alternate dimension to teleport her where he felt the shadow soldiers he left in Shigune and the other girl's shadow, since leaving one in the weilder of Canis Lycaon weilder's shadow is a dumb idea. Then he looked at the unconscious and prepared for the final thing he came to do.

Throwing a nail at her head and boosting it with DABIH-CRYSTALLUS power, he controlled her to stand up and made her materialise the true form of Incinerate Anthem, a big cross made of purple flames where he could see a giant nailed on it to activate the balance breaker. He ordered her to release it then, looking at her once again and hesitating a little befkre he issued the final order.

" Unleash the forbidden move" which made her nod, and as Samuel retreated a little bit away, while thinking to himself about this.

All 13 longinus has balance breakers, some may unlock sub-balance breakers and others may even unlock an entirely different base form. But they all have balance breakers. Bur some has another power above that, accessible to all its weilders. Juggernaut Drive for the 2 Heavenly dragon's longinuses and the Truth Idea for the True Longinus. And this here, is the forbidden move for Incinerate Anthem. Looking at the giant cross materialising and Augusta who got hung on it as she started burning from the inside out and in matter of seconds, her body disappeared leaving only her soul that seemed to be burning but at a slow rate, as she seemed to be screaming but there was no sound. The aura and the fire of the Longinus started intensifying and getting stronger as more and more of the soul was getting burned that even the fabric of space seems to be melting.

Samuel let out a whistle looking at the terrifying suicide attack that was still getting stronger and thought,

' It's already capable of erasing middle Satan-class beings and is actually capable of any devil except Sirzechs and Ajuka, but they will need to be in their true forms, and even then, the amount of holy power in it will still affect them, like the effects of someone surviving a nuclear bomb but dying because of the radiations, although I doubt they would due, they will be very much close to it. Hmmmm, should I drop it on the Underworld's capital to see the results? It's effectiveness will be practically tripled in the Underworld' but he quickly discarded that thought and opened a portal to the dimensional gap with some difficulty as the space was seemingly melting.

He then materialised his black truth seeking orbs as they all gathered around the equivalent a holy nuke that is capable of erasing a land 3 times bigger than Japan, as he doesn't want another recreation of a certain incident, and lowered the black ball into the portal with him entering in it too, making the alternate dimension collapse. Soon after Tobio, Vali and the others came over to look at the land that seemed to be the same as they left it.

(Dimensional Gap: Wizards of Oz land)

Inside of the Dimensional Gap, there exists a magical domain and country filled with magicians referred to as Oz, most are rogues from other human magic organisation, who uses distinct ideals and theories compared to the magicians of the Human World and don't have any particular moral code. There are a total of four castles in the North, South, East and West centered around the Emerald City where the magicians' boss resides.

In one of the many outputs, one of the magicians who were bored from just checking the surveillance system and the Kaleidoscope of colours and energies in the Gap.

As she was thinking what to do to further develop her research, she saw something appear on the radar, its readings are the same as that of the Gap energies but more condensed? she immediately notified the command center and send them the projection.

In the central command, seeing the approaching unknown thing they simply did the standard round of attacks to try and eliminate it, but seeing that it didn't even deviate, they decide to try once again while informing the present Great Witches. As they were doing this, there was suddenly a loud announcement as the evacuation warning was issued, but most were still confused with few who actually started packing up to teleport away.

And as more time passed, the black ball reached the magical domain, with close to 70% of the wizards still there and smashed into the barrier before finally hitting the center of the Emerald City, where the black substance finally burst open.

* BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

And as all hell broke loose, the thundering explosion of extreme holy fire burst out and in less than 3 seconds already enveloped the whole country, erasing it and the people who didn't run from existence, with the explosion taking the form of a giant cross.

(MC pov)

Floating in the void looking at all of this, I didn't really feel anything inside, no joy of having done what I did, no regret or guilt of having committed one of the biggest genocides, I just didn't really care if there were good people in there that died, although most of the upper rank and the powerful witches have escaped but that isn't really a problem, they still have their role to play.

As the explosion started to subdue I quietly came close that there was nothing left but the floating cross of flames that started heading towards me and quickly sunk in, as I felt the fickle connection with it and the other 2 holy relics, I proceeded to extract the renaming will of God, that actually was the cause of believers going crazy if they looked at the holy relics, examined it and put it together with the other 2, but they didn't react, and I just left them back to their respective longinuses.

Looking at Incinerate Anthem, I ponder a little before teleportating back to my workshop, all the ritual and materials ready as I start the process, powering it up and putting the last missing piece, Incarnate Anthem itself, soon the special cross made from blessed materials and had countless runes and seals was lit up on purple fire as I felt a connection similar to the one I have with Valerie's grail, which means I made basically a copy of the Longinus that draws power from the original.

It was already proven in the original canon times and times again that the Longinus or their abilities can be copied, imitated or outright stolen. What I did here was that I made an avatar of Incarnate Anthem, that will act and have the same power since it will be connected to the original that is with me. I plan to give this to Lint in the future, being Uriel's ace and having a great affinity with it in the original. As I did all of this, I thought about re-visiting the kids of the Nephilim academy to tell them about what happened, but decided to just leave a letter with one of my shadow soldiers saying that Augusta is dead and that they don't have to worry about her anymore.

Thinking about my plans for the future, all I need now will be the peace treaty to be signed, getting the true longinus and killing Rivezim once and for all.

(3rd pov)

Having finished their recent experiment Satannael and the remnants of the Wizards of Oz organization returned to the research institution that served as their base. The location of the institution was a large space prepared in advance which had been established in the underground beneath one of Japan's urban areas.

The place hadn't even been reported to the people from the 'Utsusemi Agency'. Those able to come and go at present were only personnel authorized by Satanael as well as the Wizards of Oz. From the outset, the people of the Agency had been intended as sacrificial pawns.

With the data from the time they'd been manipulating the 'Utsusemi Agency', together with Augusta's cooperation, they'd achieved the outcome they had been aiming for without a hitch. Having returned to his own personal laboratory within the institution, Satanael opened the cap on a bottle of cognac that had been placed on a board, from which he poured some into a glass.

At the moment he swallowed a mouthful, several witches entered the lab. They were witches from the Oz side's leadership.

"So you've returned, Satanael." Having received a greeting from one of the witches, Satanael spoke.

"I heard about what happened with Augusta, having destroyed herself in the middle of your country, erasing your home and many of your followers" and although they didn't respond, he could feel the waves of anger and hatred rolling of them. Although close to 60% of their menbers were killed, they really didn't care as most of them were just considered foot soldiers or disposables to have an army standing, and most of the upper management were smart enough to escape the catastrophe immediately, the biggest loss though was their magical domain, but they aren't helpless without it as they indeed has bases in the human world and emergency plans just in case something like this happens.

" That is not of your business, what we are here for is the results we have achieved, and since we succeeded we can continue with our next goals" said one of the witches before she shifted her gaze to a corner of the room. Over there was a single sheathed long sword sleeping in exclusive use pod.

"Could that be a demonic sword?" In response to the witch's inquiry, Satanael stood before the pod that was under adjustment.

"It would seem that among our opponents there are several who carry troublesome 'blades'. Therefore, when I snuck out of the Grigori, I simply thought of something I could take with me that would be useful. While tapping lightly on the pod with his finger, he spoke.

"Arondight. The sole legendary sword to fall from a holy sword to a demonic sword. With this, whether it's the Longinus's blade or whether it's the pursuing holy sword messenger, it should be able to exchange blows with them. Above all, it is suitable for an angel who's fallen like myself."

Even as they directed their gazes upon the holy sword that had fallen, the witches inquired of Satanael.

"And, what of the earlier objective?"

"To invoke disturbing elements, power is necessary. If it's a human, it's fine so long as they've been bestowed with a sacred gear, but where fantastical beings are concerned it's a different story. When it comes to drawing out fantastical beings, 'power' as an explicit offering is necessary."

"Then, would that be your aim?" In regards to the witch's question, Satanael directed his gaze towards the wall of the room.

That spot was decorated with a painting of a long black dragon that was like a snake. The dragon was holding its own tail in its mouth. Satanael spoke.

"The longest living creatures in this world, dragons. Among them, said to be a Dragon God, is one endowed with the power of infinity" The witches understood.

"Uroboros huh. The power of the 'Snake' of Uroboros..."

"Indeed, find Ophis." A legendary dragon. The Dragon God considered to be the strongest in the world. The being that was the personification of infinity. Satanael had decided upon that strongest dragon to be his objective. Walburga raised an inquiry while reaching her hand towards a fresco that was in the corner of the room.

"Incidentally, what is the name we're giving to this gathering of forces?"

"For a name, just call it whatever you like." One of the leadership witches curtly rejected the statement of the young Walburga, but paying it no mind, she asked a question in great interest.

"But but, isn't something like that of considerable importance? Shouldn't we give it a name like those of the opposing powers?" To this Satanael replied.

"If it's a name, I've more or less thought of one." After a moment's pause, he said that name.

"'Chaos Brigade', I think that is what we should name our gathering." and although somethings we're different, everything started from here, and none of the current occupants noticed the slight flickers in Satannael's shadow.
