Gael Bolg

Kurayami reached up and removed his sunglasses showing his unique eyes to Scáthach. To him, this test was going to be simple and he moved his right reg forward while his left hand went behind him.

Scáthach twirled her twin spears and she locked her gaze on him. Azazel flew into the sky and he looked at both of them with a sigh.

"FIGHT!"

The moment he spoke, Kurayami charged forward and swung Rebellion toward her head, but she bent her back low and dodged with no effort. His right eye shot to look at her as she used her left spear to leap into the air and kick him in the right of his ribs.

Which she followed up with a head kick, but he dodged her kick and swung his sword back toward her gut. Scáthach moved one of her spears to deflect the blow, but the impact she felt shook up her arm, but this was nothing.

As she thrust and swung with her spears at his vitals with deadly accuracy and for the first time since Ares he was outmatched when it came to skill. Her skill with the spears was perfect and Ares as he watched felt out-performed.

'Damn, even Athena has nothing on this chick.'

Kurayami felt a snarl form on his face as he picked up the pace and he slammed his foot down which caused a massive area to shake from the mere impact. As for Scáthach, she merely jumped in the air to avoid the sand and impact.

At that moment he sped up causing him to vanish as he swung his sword over a thousand times in less than a second cutting massive areas of the Realm of Shadows. He felt he may have gone too far, but on closer look, she was still standing with not one of his blows hitting her.

He was really impressed as most of his attacks had moved faster than the speed of sound. She looked like she had dodged them all except for one that had traced her face. She moved her hand through the cut which looked no less scratch.

As a professional trainer, Scáthach could see the power and skill to attack that fast was not easy to get. She knew that her favorite pupil could not hold a candle to him and she wanted to see just how far he could go.

She took a deep breath and Ares, Artemis, Azrael, Ophis, and Kurayami were the only ones who noticed what she did. She had activated her Divine Spark and her aura already was rivaling some gods and surpassing others.

Her path to godhood was the result of endless battle and slaughter and her Divine Spark was the result. As such the power gain she got when it was activated was massive that showed just how much she had killed.

She slammed her foot down and charged at him stabbing with her spears over a thousand times and one was a millimeter from his eye. He watched as the barbs moved through the air while he kicked her in the gut.

She felt the biggest impact of her life and felt the blood rise up her mouth. Yet her eyes got focused and swallowed her blood back as swung her spear down, but he punched her in the ribs.

"You have done enough, you lose."

She wiped the blood on her lips and got up.

"If you can survive this move I submit."

She looked at him while she jumped high in the air and moved one of her spears into a throwing stance. A red and black aura emerged from the spear and he felt his instincts telling him that was dangerous.

The rest watch saw pure danger in that spear, and the girls wanted Kurayami to dodge as their basic instincts told them that was dangerous. As for Ophis she glanced at it and shrugged as she did not see the danger.

Scáthach tensed her arm and locked eyes with him.

"Gáe Bolg!"

She launched it at him and he felt reality distort and when she launched it at him the speed went from what he could perceive to something he barely saw move.

'It distorts reality to deal with the threat at hand. It's deadly, but I can do it too. Rebellion, sorry about this.'

'Don't worry master, a little pain could not keep me down. Although I want to join you and Ophis when you rock her world.'

'Fine, ask her first though now focus.'

He raised her in the air and the power of Time, Space, Fire, and Infinite entered her blade which caused small cracks to form in her body. He swung her down and clashed with Gáe Bolg.

The moment he blocked causality distorted and the spear appeared behind him ready to go into his heart, but the same thing happened with him. Like he was always looking at it he blocked with the flat side of Rebellion's blade stoping it in its tracks.

Messing with causality was quite dangerous by itself, but he could do it with no effort. That was one reason that Ophis was so feared as she could do it on a whim. He sometimes wondered if he ever stood a chance against Great Red.

Gáe Bolg was back in her hand, but she had collapsed to her knees. She was out of mana and she lost. Even her Divine Spark was out of energy which would recover in time. She stood up and looked at him with respect.

"As I promised, you win and I am your servant now master."

Ophis snapped her fingers and ripped the anchor she had to the Realm of Shadows and replaced it with Kurayami. She felt the pain of having the equivalent of her realm being removed, but then she felt the connection to Kurayami.

The moment the anchor was complete she felt a feeling of freedom she did not feel for years. The girls all walked to Kurayami who was now in a trace. He was getting small flashbacks to her past which he had to say was pretty bad.

Azazel looked at her and coughed.

"Well, shall we check if you can leave? I mean if you do leave, would you want to join us at Grigori. You can continue your training, but I don't think you need to search far for someone to kill you."

She shook her head and looked at Kurayami.

"That is no longer up to me, but my master. Of course, I won't obey an order that goes against my ideals."

He shrugged as that was perfectly fine with him.

"That is fine by me, I only have a few orders for you. Do not die without my permission. Do not try to seak death. Do not ever give up on your warrior pride, and this one is less an order than a request. You can train the young of our group. Sound fair."

As she walked toward one of the cracks she looked back at him and lowered her face mask and smiled.

"Those are acceptable orders, my master. I expected more serious orders, but that is fine by me."

He crossed his arms as Rebellion went back to his arm to recover as pushing herself that hard hurt.

"Did you expect me to order you to marry me?"

"A little, you look like a womanizer."

He rolled his eyes before he moved past her followed by the rest of the girls. He put his sunglasses back on before he shot her a look.

"I do not need to order you to be my wife. I am quite confined in myself to win your heart myself. Consider my interest peaked, not many can do that Scáthach."

Just before he left he looked toward her cave and where he saw something that he was interested in. It was the skeleton of a monster that he had to have. He collected it in his ring without anyone noticing.

Raynare and Esdeath both shot him dirty looks as he went through the crack in the dimension. Ares scoffed and shot her a dirty look.

"Your still, not a god so don't get cocky you hear. I Ares the God of War-"

Before he could finish Azrael punched him in the gut so hard that Ares spat out golden blood. Clarise and Jack looked away as their poor dad was knocked out, ut he deserved it.

"Jack, Jaime, you two carry him back. Well, I say welcome to Grigori warrior queen. Just ignore this guy, he is just salty that a mortal turned near god is stronger than him."

She glanced at Ares who was being carried by the Abyss dogs and stood in front of one of the cracks. She was hesitating if she should try it or get disappointed, but a hand shot through the crack and grabbed her face.

She got pulled through the crack and when she realized she was being held by Kurayami as her face. She blinked a few times and for the first time in thousands of years, she was flustered.

He put them down and he smirked.

"You were doubting if you could escape. Well here is the outside world. No time for big emotional breakdowns."

Scáthach was annoyed that she did not get to enjoy her freedom, but at the same time, she was kind of glad that she was free. She looked at the outside, but she met someone else from her past.

"Odin? I did not expect to see you."

He did not expect that she would someday manage to escape.

"Scáthach, you are free, I most certainly did not expect that. Now, where is Rossweisse? She did go with you guys right?"

As soon as he said her name she got out of the dimension and looked for Odin. He thought about it and he smiled.

"Hey Brat, Scáthach, you two can keep her. I am going home. Lugh, you want to come with?"

Lugh looked down and nodded.

"Yeah, I'll go."

Before she could say anything Odin slammed his spear on the ground and went back to Valhalla without Rossweisse. She blinked a few times before the waterworks started to build in her eyes.

Kurayami sighed and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about it, you can come with us."

Azazel who came out glanced at Rossweisse and he agreed with no hesitation.

"Sure sure. You can come too. That damn old man sure knows how to mess with people. Let's go home, this event is done. Ophis can you move this realm to my worship or something."

Ophis glanced at the Land of Shadows and placed her hand on one of the spatial cracks. The entire realm was compressed down to a small ball this size of a basketball in her hands.

She threw it to Azazel who caught it while looking at it with shock. She explained a little bit about it.

"Set it up later."

Before they lest Kurayami picked up Rossweisse who was now a crying mess in his arms. He teleported himself, Scáthach, and the girls back to his room while Azazel, Azrael, Ares, and the Abyss Dogs remained.

Azazel looked at the Land of Shadows and he already was thinking of sealing this in sacred gear. He had to think of what he would use it for, and who, or he could simply use it as a secret realm for himself.

"You are already in Lala land about what to do with that aren't you Azazel?"

He looked at Azrael and nodded.

"As a researcher, I have to be, I a little more than a year in half as Governor-General, but my research is more important. I have been working on the super devil research nearly daily and working to reverse it for Fallen Angels."

Azrael nodded.

"You could use it on Kuroka if she agrees. She is one of the few devils in Grigori besides Vali. I hear he is coming back from working under Mephisto for a time."

Azazel nodded and he prepared to go back as well.

"I will be busy teaching Kurayami all I know for when he takes over."

He teleported to his workshop to get to work while Azrael looked at the demigods with him.

"Well here is a good opportunity for training. let's go."

He took them to Tartarus for a time as they had reached a bottleneck in their power. Now that it seemed that most events were going to be calm now, the death of the Celtic gods and Ophis out burst caused a few pantheons to worry.

As for the Kaos Brigade that was still gaining traction were planning to go after Ophis as they needed her power. The wheel of fate was spinning for the world and the fun was just beginning.
