DxD 48 – Assaulting the Cultists (End)

'What is this uneasy feeling??' At the same time, after what had happened outside the warehouse.

All of the sudden, an uneasy feeling, along with cold chills assaulted Gunnar Klinger, who become confused, why he felt cold for.

Since his Abyssal Power awakened, he never got ill, so why did he get a cold now? Gunnar soon shake his head of trivial pointless thoughts, and turned his deep sea blue eyes towards Toyomi, who still sleeping next to him.

Gunnar shamelessly without much thought, glances at towel covering her bountiful breasts, that hovers up and down each breath she took.

While shamelessly staring at those bountiful breasts, suddenly the disc-like device, that Gunnar on purposely left in the middle of this room, begins to shine and impulse with magical power.

And when Magic Power awakened within that disc-like device, so did two magic circles appear before Gunnar and the sleeping Toyomi.

Gunnar turned his eyes towards the magic circles, and looked at them, and crest on them, the very crest that shows which faction they are from, only those from the Black Gate Faction are capable of using magic with that crest.

The first magic circle. Is a spell that clocks magical signature from leaking out from either the magical device, or the two magic circles.

It is a spell used to hide the magical particles from those, that are sensitive to sources of energy, like the Devils or Angels.

As for the second spell? It is special kind of Teleportation Spell in itself. Which is why, when the second magic circle activated, was the moment a very beautiful woman appeared before Gunnar.

This woman is so beautiful, one wouldn't even doubt themselves, if they looking at a fairy with her unnatural beauty. And yet again, many races in the Supernatural often are like that, they have appearances beyond that of normal humans.

But this woman before Gunnar is even on a higher level compared to those from the Supernatural. It might be the fact, with her snow white long hair that perfectly matches her pale white skin, and even her red crimson eyes give off an unworldly vibe.

It to the point, she felt both feel real and unreal how beautiful she is. Not to mention, as her face and hair also flawlessly beautiful, even her matured body doesn't fall any behind.

As one will expect from the world based on DxD. Not only this otherworldly fairy level beauty, has beauty to be envied, but even her perfected shaped body, ample large breasts, and hips that are desirable for many different purposes.

No matter how Gunnar looked at her, she is the most beautiful person he ever seen in both lives. To the point, this made Gunnar curious if Rias Gremory, and the others in Issei's future harem will be the same, when they fully matured, of course.

Her name is Mary Aveline. She is one of the 'Demons' within the Black Gate, officially known as the Demoness of the Twin Swords.

Not only she is someone of high ranking within his faction. She also one of the few that knew Gunnar's true face, as well part of the founding members of the Black Gate Faction.

One could say, Gunnar Klinger entrusts this women before his eyes, as much he does with his best friend, as well right hand man, Shiba Tatsuya.

"Oh, Mary, it has been some time, hasn't it? Since we met." Gunnar went with a smile, that gained Mary's attention.

The moment her crimson red eyes, that are both indifferent and cold saw Gunnar, whose missing his Demon Mask, that he often wears with his Abyssal King's getup. Soon her red like blood eyes soften, like ice in her indifferent eyes melted away.

But this softness and gentle look that Mary gave Gunnar when she looked at him, soon become frozen again, as she blankly stared at the pink haired girl next to Gunnar, Fujiwara Toyomi.

Her crimson red eyes blankly stared at the hovering towel wrapped around her bountiful breasts. That very black towel that Mary knew very well.

After all, the one that made Gunnar carried around dozen or so of those black towels, were no other than herself. So there no way she wouldn't noticed something that she even brought herself for her lord.

So when Mary saw the young girl, that closer to her lordship's age, her mind went blank for several moments, trying to grasped what this is.

After all, to Mary, all she saw in her unfocused crimson red eyes, were her lord in a room alone with a beautiful girl, that even by human standards, her beauty is very high level.

Not to mention, if it wasn't for that black towel, Mary knew her upper body is naked. So, it no wonder why there could be a misunderstanding about the current situation that Gunnar is in.

So, it no wonder why Mary become like this, especially for someone who held special feelings towards the one in that situation themselves.

"Milord… what is this…?" When Gunnar heard her, Gunnar didn't answer right away.

Even if Gunnar is dense in many matters. But when it comes to emotions and feelings pointed at him, that a different story.

Thanks to his Abyssal Observation ability, there is no way Gunnar wouldn't tell what emotion or intentions the other party has, when they looked at him. Which is why, Gunnar is aware of Mary Aveline's true feelings towards him.

He can feel affection and warmth each time, when her crimson eyes looked at him. And even without his Abyssal Observation ability, Gunnar knew, he could even tell her feelings towards him.

After all, wouldn't everyone know? When the person before them, that used to be so cold, and indifferent to others, and even yourself, begin to show emotions in those eyes? And even their actions?

In normal cases, Gunnar will be overjoyed, that he is loved by a woman whose beauty is very unreal and otherworldly, like his own.

After all, whose wouldn't like to be loved by a fairy level beauty? Especially one with white hair and red eyes?

But shame enough, Gunnar Klinger doesn't hold the same kind of feelings, that Mary Aveline holds within her for him.

It's not like he dislikes Mary, if that was the case, she will never be part of his faction, never mind being someone he entrusts his life with. After all, to Gunnar, while he is honoured to be loved by this woman, only saw Mary as an elder sister figure to him.

It not the age distance that made Gunnar felt this way, after all, in a realistic point of view, a grown woman having such feelings towards a child, is wrong no matter how one sees it.

It is to the point, at one point, Gunnar thought Mary might be a Shorta. However, that not the case, she still cold or indifferent to Tatsuya. Not to mention, the person she took in, that close to Tatsuya and his own age, also a female, not a male.

As for her feelings, they seem to naturally changed over time. Like a calm wave passing through. Or how sometimes feelings towards another manifest unknowingly overtime when they spent time together.

Not to mention, Gunnar doesn't mind the age difference, since even if he is physically 12 years old. Mentally? He is far older than Mary, who lived nearly 200 years already.

But even if he doesn't mind personally, he knew it not right to engage in sexual or romantic relationships with his body so young. If he were to engage in sexual relationships right at this age, his reasoning between relationships between men and women will become rained, making Gunnar into a scumbag, that only thinks of his little 'Gunnar'

And the main reason why Gunnar doesn't see Mary in a romantic way is very simple.

Gunnar never been in love. Be it in his first like, while his body slowly decaying away. Or his time in the Abyss, Gunnar never experienced being in love before.

He has no clue how to deal with someone, who has such feelings towards him.

'Not like she will admit her feelings towards me… from the looks of it, she herself is not aware of them… not to mention, even if she is, she wouldn't tell me. In the end, I don't want to hurt her… since she dear to me… not to mention, I am capable of feeling love?'

Gunnar wondered, like mention before, Gunnar never been in love. But as an Abyssal Human, Gunnar doesn't knew if he even capable of feeling love.

All he felt towards the other gender, is lust and affection. He felt his desires of lust towards Toyomi, when she hugged him bare chested. But yet again, that just a basic reaction one will expect from a male, unless they are asexual or refer the same party as themselves.

Shaking his head out of these thoughts. Gunnar turned his eyes to Toyomi, before he took a sigh, and explained to Mary, that he didn't explain over the phone.

"I see… that what happened…" Mary went, one side felt relief knowing her lord hasn't touched her. But the other side of her, felt worried towards the human teenager, who experienced something no woman, human or not, should experience.

Mary had her share of lustful men in her past, it wasn't bad in her childhood, due to what she is, those people refused to even touch her, even if her beauty was a level above even their own kind.

But there been times, when lust blind someone, and they tried to rape or forced themselves on her. Of course, as a being with Ultimate-Class abilities, she easily killed or beaten them down, like the dogs in heat they are.

So she can understand what she went through, no, this girl properly went through something worse than her. Since she never let them go this far. After all, Fujiwara Toyomi was only a moment away from being raped, if Gunnar didn't show up at the right time.

Mary eyes turned gentle, even the rest of her expression is cold as ice. Before a gentle smile formed on her face when she turned towards Gunnar.

"What now?" Mary asked, as she moved before Gunnar, and Toyomi.

"What now? Simple, are the preparations done?" Gunnar asked with a slight smirk, as he took one last look at Toyomi, before returning his gaze to Mary, as he stood up where he sat.

"Yes… everything is in place. By now, the 40 Second-Class and 4 First-Class Dark Knights, along with that child, must has finished off those from the outside guarding the warehouse. We also setup our Anti-Teleportation Barriers, as well Anti-Communication Barriers, so no one could flee, or call for backup."

As Mary went, Anti-Teleportation is one thing, because of the usage of spell known as Teleportation are always a headache to deal with, especially when their targets flee, or if any outsider were to interfere.

That is why Anti-Teleportation Barriers are set to prevent those from teleporting in or out of the barrier's range.

As for Anti-Communication Barriers, there no different compared to jammers, that used to block signals for phones and such. After all, it is possible to use Communication Magic to send messages or recording of voices.

Which is why many barriers and arrays such as these, setup up within many factions, or noble families. Some even have more advanced barriers that only block most Teleportation Magic or Communication Magic, but don't block specific spells under them via the magic crest itself.

Example of this, will be the noble Devils within the Underworld, many has this kind of barrier, that blocks all but their own magic circles, with their crest as proof of identity to the barrier. Like having a keylock within the barrier or arrays itself. While their magic circle crest will act like the key in these barriers.

This is why houses like the House of Gremory, don't have to worry about unwanted guests teleporting in their homes, when they don't have the key to access through their Anti-Teleportation barriers.

Of course, as Anti-Teleportation Magic and Anti-Communication Magic might sound useful, there many weaknesses to them.

One, due to their naturel, barrier's strength from Magic or physical attacks are weak, which is why, these barriers are hidden under another barrier to act like a shield for them. Of course, in order to do that, they become weaker. Allowing higher grade teleportation spells to go through the barrier.

Not to mention, barriers and arrays are different to spells. Spells can be cast within seconds, or minutes. Counting the level the spell is, and the spell caster as well.

On the other hand, barriers and arrays must be set up, counting on what barrier, it could take hours to years. Example, an Anti-Teleportation Barrier based on a simple two bedroom house. A Low-Class Devil only needs 12 hours to formed the most basic, and even 2 weeks for an advanced barrier.

While a High-Class Devil can form this in under an hour for the basic level, and over an hour for the advanced type barrier.

But it is different to the Black Gate Faction.

As it is unknown to most of the Supernatural for now. But in the Black Gate Faction, they have devices that let them put up those types of barriers, that normally take hours, days or even weeks, when mere seconds.

If firearms capable of harming Supernatural beings wasn't enough, portable barriers, that take seconds, not hours or weeks to setup, will make the Supernatural even warier of them. Shamed, no one caught on to this fact yet.

"The highest here is High-Class… so have two Ultimate-Class, you and me, and 4 High-Class knights, and another 40 Middle-Class knights, no matter how I see this, it is overkill. But I like it." Gunnar went with an evil smirk.

"Indeed, but this many should be enough to deal with the aftermath." Mary simply stated.

"You right… now I think of it, that child you mention, it is her? The one you keep mentioning to me?" Gunnar asked, looking forward to the person that Mary mention few times already. Not realising… he wished he wouldn't be in the soon future.

"Yes, she is outside, dealing with those outside, it only be a matter of time, my lord before they realised something wrong. Oh, here." When Mary said that a crack in space appeared, only for Mary herself to put her hand inside it, and moments later, a Demon Mask with red eyes appeared in Mary's hands.

Gunnar stared at the familiar, and yet unfamiliar mask. Yes, this mask is the very one he left, the mask he wears when he becomes the Abyssal King. But that isn't the reason why Gunnar looked shocked as he looked at it.

"Why do you have one of my masks?" Gunnar asked.

"Of course I do, seeing how clumsy our great Abyssal King is, it only natural for me to have one with me. By the way, Tatsuya also has one as well… besides that, only us two have one with us. Speaking of Tatsuya, is he with his sister?" Mary went as a faint smile formed on her lips, specially so, when she saw Gunnar flinched calling him clumsy.

"Not now, but when the morning comes… Never mind that! What you mean by clumsy? You making it sound like I am a useless faction leader!" Gunnar went with cute pouting cheeks, that made Mary's an urge to poke them.

"I never mention a useless leader, I say clumsy, and also somewhat idiotic, as well lazy, to the point, do you realised how many Dark Knights we have? Or how many Dark Commanders we have at this moment, or the number of Demons, our elites' officers? Or the number of people in the Outsider Group or the Divisions?

I bet our magnificent leader, the Abyssal King can named all of our Divisions we have, besides just Development and Information Divisions." Mary went with a calm voice, even if Gunnar felt like someone just shot him with an arrow!

"Well… the number of people in our Faction is 400, right?"

Gunnar went with an unsure voice, as he looked away. He sounds more like a rookie who no clue of the world, than a Faction leader that he is. If Tatsuya was here, he will give Gunnar a deadpan look, shame Mary still remain with her gentle expression, as she looked at Gunnar.

"Dark Knight Order – 7,893 members, Outsider – 893 members. Divisions – 4,591 members, than finally Demons – 6 members. The number of Dark Commanders we have is now 8, meaning we have 12 people with Ultimate-Class combat level within our faction. This is 13,391 people within our Faction, you know, of course, there another member that not counted for, that is you, our leader."

When Mary said that Gunnar looked at her with blank eyes, maybe it is because he always running away from work, is why he has no clue, that the number of people within his faction is now nearly 33.5 times more than he last check. He felt like an honest idiot, not even knowing the number of people under him.

While thinking of a comeback, Gunnar and Mary's eyes widen, as Gunnar show a smirk on his lips before he put on his demon mask from Mary. As he felt the time has finally come… it finally time to end this night, with a massacre of course.
