Catching Up

Vali was really shocked to see his brother here now in Azazel's house. His mind was in chaos a lot of thoghts came to his mind.

Vali:<Did he also ran away or did Rizevim sen him to bring me back??>

Sparda: Are you not going to ask that how I have been?? I have been really hurt.

Vali: No I was just shocked seeing you here. I have been fine. Azazel has been taking care of me. Did you ran away or Rizevim sent you to bring me back.

Sparda: That's nice to hear. It can be either of them. I really want to found out how strong have you became.

Vali: I also want to find that out myself.

Azazel: Alright brats hold your horses. Nobody is fighting anyone now. Are all the Lucifers battle maniacs like you?? It is already night I will arrange a place for both of you tomorrow. Sparda do you have a place to stay??

Sparda: Ok that will do. And I don't have a place to stay.

Vali: It works for me.

Azazel: Ok there is a guest room at the back you can crash there.

After that they have their dinner and everyone went to their room to sleep. Next day Sparda woke up early he was really excited to fight his brother. He quickly got up from bed and went to get freshen up. Then he went to backyard to complete his daily routine workout. After he completed his workout he saw both Azazel and Vali were up. Then they had breakfast and then Azazel took them to a barren land and created a barrier.

Azazel: Now you maniacs can let lose. Nobody will bother us here.

Vali: Are you ready to lose??

Sparda: Are you speaking for yourself??

Vali then directly went into his balance breaker and flew towards Sparda but Sparda has already activated MS so Vali's fist phased right through Sparda's head. Sparda then counters him with {Enkidu}. The chains start the chase Vali and vali becomes busy avoiding the chains. Taking advantage of this moment Sparda creates several spheres made of devil energy and throws them at Vali. Vali who was busy avoiding the chains suddenly get hit by many spheres and an explosion takes place.

When the dust settles down Vali can still be seen in his scale mail, but it was broken in many parts and he was also seen to be bleeding. This time Sparda went for the attack with spheres of demonic energy in his hands. Vali dodges them and goes to his blind spot and again tries to punch him but still no avail it passes right through him. Sparda again uses {Enkidu} to distract him he becomes busy again trying to dodge all those chains. Then he again hits Vali with his demonic energy.

The spheres explode and when the smoke clears Vali can be seen in a crater without his scale mail. His figure was bloodied and had burn marks somewhere. Sparda and Azazel immediately run towards him. Sparda takes out a senzu beans and puts it in Vali's mouths. He chews and swallows it. Immedialy his body recovers all his stamina and all his wounds are closed. He sits up and keep looking down and punches the ground.

Vali: Why can't I beat you it there that much difference between us??

Sparda: No it is not correct. You should also practicing your devil energy so you can attack using them. Just see that you can have a lot of versatility. You should not completely depend on your sacred gear.

Azazel: What was that thing was brat??

Sparda: I call it senzu beans they can heal a peson and return their stamina.

Azazel: Where did you get them?? This could be ground breaking. How many do you have??

Sparda: I was wandering in the forest and got hungry I saw these beans, from smell I knew they were not poisonous. I ate one and voila I have my stamina back. I don't have many but I can give 1 to you so you research about it.

At first Azazel was getting sadder and sadder but when he told that he will give 1 to him his mood became cheerful. Then Sparda again put his hand in pocket and took out a senzu bean gave it to Azazel. After that they went all back to home.

Sparda stayed with them and continued to study about sacred gears and Azazel would study his sacred gear and phasing ability. Both Azazel and Vali had zero cooking skills. No matter what they cooked it always became poison. Sparda didn't know how he knew cooking but he had to take that mantle so that he won't be freeloader. Sparda thought that this skill might be from his past life and left it at that. He was not arrogant about his cooking but he was quite good.

Like that one month has passed. One day he was alone at home suddenly he felt some disturbances in energy in his surroundings so he went to check and found that several exorcists were chasing a single exorcist. He knew who they were and decided to follow them, he activated his space barrier and followed them. Soon the solo exorcist was surrounded and the leader of exorcist came forward and said.

Touji: Sorry my friend but this the end of the road, please surrender or else we will have to kill you.

Maosumi: Sorry my friend I will not surrender but if you want to take me you have to kill me.

Touji: You leave me no option, now please die in the name of God.

Suddenly an unknown pressure and voice interrupted them.

???: Are you sure of that??
