[...] - Ddriag Speech

[[...]] - Albion Speech

=========

"𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙."

The air suddenly picked up as the sound of a gear grinding reverberated throughout the school grounds, Rias' peerage flinched as chills ran down their spines. The feeling of the boy's words gave the illusion of what could only be described as countless blades hovering over their skin.

[I-impossible!] Ddraig's voice rang out which caused them to snap out of it.

"W-what is it Ddraig?" Issei asked as the others began to place close attention to his gauntlet.

[That chant, belongs to only one person.]

"Who?"

[The strongest human to ever live.]

——

Kokabiel had cold sweat drip down his back, "Impossible! You have been gone for over six hundred years! I thought you were finally dead!"

"Haha, I finally got reincarnated a couple years ago. You just had the shit luck to do this when I was about to leave."

"𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙."

The people in the surroundings heard the gears rotate once more as the air on the surroundings picked up and started to heat.

"Hmm....that seems about right..."

Rias' peerage stood in shock as behind the boy, swords began to manifest. First only 10, then a hundred, then a thousand.

Kokabiel's face twisted in anguish as he heard the final words before his inevitable death.

"Fire."

The swords began to rain down onto Kokabiel as he gave a meager attempt to defend himself, projecting a large light spear to block the rain of blades.

Rias' peerage watched as the blades were relentless, for every blade lost two more took their place.

Soon enough, Kokabiel was on his last legs when suddenly the barrier surrounding them shattered and a man draped in menacing white armor with glowing blue wings entered,

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

The boy dressed in red raised a brow, "Oh? You think you can stop me, Albion?"

The White Armored man scoffed before turning towards Issei, "So this is all you amount to Red Dragon Emperor?"

"W-who are you?"

"Your rival apparently, too bad your weak. Maybe this kid will be some fun—"

[[VALIIIII!!!]]

Vali's instincts screamed at him as Issei and Saji became covered in cold sweat with their hairs standing on end.

"Do not ignore me again, boy."

Vali froze like a deer in headlights as Issei and Saji watched as behind Vali thousands of swords manifested. Issei almost puked as the swords gave him the feeling of pure unadulterated death.

[Don't ever anger this man, Partner.]

"I-I understand." Issei replied holding in his stomach.

[[So, it was you! Vali you should retreat immediately! This isn't someone you can handle!]]

"Oh? Finally remembered me, Albion?" As the swords slowly inched closer towards Vali.

[[VALI RETREAT NOW!]]

"But, Azazel said—" Vali replied while headed towards Kokabiel only to watch as his body was stabbed into the ground by hundreds of demonic swords.

"Haha, wow. You have much more guts then your coward of an ancestor."

"You know—?"

"Haha, yes I encountered the original Lucifer once before, let's just say, he never appeared before me again."

[[Vali, all these swords around you are dragon slayings swords, you must retreat now!]]

Vali was conflicted but ultimately decided to listen. He glanced over at Freed in debate whether or not to save him, only to see him impaled through endless swords as well.

"Tsk." He whined out before quickly retreating, flying away leaving only Albion's voice trailing behind.

[[I'll await our match in the future, Red One.]]

Saji and Issei both released a breath they didn't even know they held in as the swords surrounding them finally faded away.

The boy clapped his hands before saying, "Welp, that takes care of that." Then he slowly walked off and disappeared.

——

Rias' Peerage stood in shock until they were snapped out of it by Sona's yelling,

"Rias! Did you win?"

"S-sona?!"

Issei collapsed on the ground as Asia ran over to begin healing him.

"No, we didn't win, two people interfered."

"Well, one of them was the White Dragon Emperor."

Sona was shocked before she quickly reeled it in. "So the White Dragon Emperor took care of it?" She asked while glancing at Issei.

"No."

"Eh?"

"Then who did?"

"I don't know who it was, Ddriag seemed to know about him. Even Albion told the White Dragon Emperor to retreat"

Sona's eyes narrowed at the thought of having such a powerful person slip in unnoticed, but even more so gave her a sense of dread at such a powerful person.

Soon Issei began to sit up and asked the question everyone had on their minds,

"Ddriag, who the hell was that?!"

The gauntlet glowed green before replying,

[That was a man you never want to have against you, he has had many names over the years as he reincarnates every few generations, similar to Sacred Gears.]

They all were surprised at this information as Ddraig continued,

[He is the wielder of the lost Longinus, Unlimited Blade Works. It's called 'lost' because not only is it outside God's system but it also has only ever been wielded by him.]

"How is that possible?" Rias asked towards no one in specific while Sona began to recall an old memory.

Ddraig ignored her question and continued talking,

[That man has killed some of me and Albion's partners in the past even in their prime.]

Everyone who heard his words had their hairs stand on end at the notion of such a person,

"Isn't he just a human?" Issei asked.

[Don't underestimate humans, especially not him. He is recorded as the strongest human to have ever lived and has had many titles throughout the centuries.]

"...Like what?" The rest couldn't help but ask the question even though it gave them a feeling of dread at the answer.

[The Mage of Swords, The Living Armory, The Greatest Blacksmith, Champion of Men, God Slayer, and his most prevalent one, The King of Blades.]

They all felt like they had been dipped in cold water, "D-did you say G-god slayer?"

[Yes, he is the one of two humans recorded in history to have the title.]

They all had a sense of dread at the words but still had the same thought, 'There's another?!'

[He hasn't appeared in well over 500 years, it's said he only ever appears in major events in history.]

Ddraig's words gave them a looming sense of dread. Sona's eyes widen in realization before deciding not to tell them all and instead telling them to get some rest and help repair the school.

'I need to talk to Onee-Sama.'
