Adrian watched with interest as this Elite Abyss Knight of his duel an Angelic Cadre. When he used the body of Ornstein he had expected some of the original power to remain and he was right. Now he was curious how it would fair against the Angel of this rank and if there was even a chance of its failure.
He did not think so, but he decided to not become totally arrogant in his creations. He had seen they could be felled, so he watched on with curiosity. The Demon clad his massive spear with Abyss Lightning which tainted it dark purple.
Without a sound, he stabbed with the massive spear hundreds of times in the blink of an eye. Benedek the Cadre supercharged his Holy Sword in his light and holy magic to counteract the tainted Abyss lightning.
He moved his sword with precise parries and carefully timed clashes, but he found that the Demon was not a mindless brute. He grit his teeth as the pace of the dual was not is, but the demons. Its massive size and height advantage gave it a massive reach over the much smaller angel.
'Oh Lord, give me the strength to fell this demon, amen.'
One last prayer and with renewed vigor surged forward with spears of light and light spells raining down. This caused massive flashes of light so bright and hot they melted the ground under their feet.
The demon slammed his right foot down as he raised his spear to the sky with one hand. In one downward swing, a massive slash descended toward the angel. The angel cursed as the demon had used the angel's army behind him as a hostage.
The slash would lead to massive losses if he dodged and if he blocked he would have to use up a lot of power.
"Honor less beast."
He did not dodge as he held his sword in two hands. Surging forth with his magic he stabbed the sword into the ground forming a massive barrier to block the attack. When it hit the magic shield an explosion of Abyss-tainted lightning erupted destroying the shield.
Just when Benedek thought he had bought himself a couple of seconds the demon was already in front of him.
'When-'
Before he could even finish his thought his view was blocked by the spearhead descending toward his head. Relying on his life of battle he instinctively slashed up with his sword managing to move the spear from claiming his life then and there.
He charged forward making use of the giant spear's momentum to get below it. However, with a fluid motion like flowing lightning, the spear moved as if weightless to block his strike with the shaft.
Rexam had good things to say about this demon.
"Now that was skillful use of the polearm. Where did you get the body for this one and why did you not recruit them?"
Adrian glanced at him with irritation.
"He killed me and most of my men in a betrayal."
"I see, I guess that is where your power comes from. You must have clawed your way back from death for vengeance."
"You could say that."
Adrian watched as his demon lowered his center of gravity and used it to drive his spear forward with his full strength. By boosting his speed with lightning the angel barely had the time to raise his sword to block the spear. However, cracks formed where the tip of the spear met the body of his sword.
The angel began to be pushed back as the demon seemed relentless in his assault. As if he had no physical limitations to his body with no need for breath. Even now the demon made not one war cry or sound as if he was mute.
Finally, the angel's sword was destroyed into pieces as the spear he was using was Ornstein's original spear. Adrian had Andre reforge it in the dragon forge for his special demon general. He watched as the massive spear pierced the angel in the chest.
The angel army all felt pain at the loss of their leader as he was the only one keeping things together. The demon raised his spear as he carefully removed Benedek from his weapon.
"As for the dual, I shall take your name for my own. I shall be known as Benedek from this day forth."
The demon army began to slam their weapons onto their shields or stop their feet on the ground. A plethora of roars and cheers erupted from the previously silent Demon Army. Adrian watched as Benedek walked toward him with the body of the angel in his arms.
When he stood in front of Adrian he kneeled at his feet before dropping the body to his feet.
"I have proven superior my master."
Adrian placed his hand on Benedek's shoulder.
"You have done well Benedek. Live up to your new name. I shall leave the choice to you, what shall happen with the rest of the Angels?"
Benedek looked at the army before he rose to his feet with his spear at his side.
"Just this once, I request they leave. Someone needs to know of your glorious name my lord."
Adrian began to walk back to his griffons that still waited. He waved his hand and a surge of the abyss swept through the battlefield to gather each corpse of the angels. Baraqiel felt his very being recoil at the sight of the black sludge that the Soul Lord used.
'What is this stuff?'
Once the bodies were collected the Abyss all surged back into his body disappearing as if never there. He looked at Lord Vasago and Baraqiel.
"Vasago, swear on your soul to serve me."
Adrian wanted to get in contact with Azazel so enslaving his friend was not a good way to do it. However, Vasago was a devil a being who schemed and planned he had no trust for him. Before the devil could do that the sky was ripped open with a heavy presence of Holy energy. Feeling that made Adrian's Demon Army angry. While it was not a weakness for them it was their opposite so they hated it.
Rexam popped his neck as his muscles swelled with power.
"Now who is this."
Adrian looked at him as the Demons who served Rexam and Aurelia gathered around.
"God I would say."
The Angels cheered as this presence belonged to God himself.
"HE HAS DESCENDED!"
"THE LORD SHALL DEFEAT THE DEMONS!"
Amara, Rexam, Viron, and Adrian looked to the sky as God and an even larger army decided. The army that was being slaughtered numbered 500,000, once, but now numbered only around 200,000.
However, the one that was descending was many times larger and Adrian could see Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael along with God. The creator of the Sacred Gear system did not appear at all like the angels around him.
He appeared to be a regular old man with a long white beard with eyes that shined with wisdom. Rexam barely managed to stop himself from charging him as he looked at Adrian. God had locked his eyes on Adrian with barely restrained anger.
"Did you do this?"
The survivors of the original army joined the much larger one that had descended from Heaven. They felt that God would be able to simply put down Adrian and his small army of Demons.
"If I say yes what will you do?"
Just as God was about to speak a second spatial portal opened, but this one was bright red. Lord Vasago knew that because of Adrian this battle was about to get worse as from the portal streamed an even larger army of Devils.
At the front was Lucifer himself along with the 3 Devil Kings who had come to face God. His Demon Army joined back with him for the chance that he would be in danger. If that was not enough a third spatial crack opened up which Azazel emerged from.
Adrian and his group were in the middle of three massive armies while they were alone. As they were foreigners to this world it might just happen that the three factions might work together to take his faction out.
Azazel noticed how Baraqiel was with Adrian as he had already gotten the story from the Fallen who had left. He came to save Baraqiel, but he did not expect to see God and the Satans here. He looked at Adrian who had his arms crossed as if the 3 armies were not even there.
Baraqiel made some hand signs that were made if one were taken, hostage. Seeing that made Azazel look at Adrian with some hostility.
"Can you let my friend go?"
It was a question but at the same time full of hostility. Azazel did not want to risk Baraqiel's life as he did not know what kind of personality Adrian had.
"My lord, don't do it?"
Aurelia felt they would look down on Adrian if he complied. Adrian reached for his back and drew his longsword with his left hand. He rested the blade next to Baraqiel's neck which made the Cadre look at the black blade.
The edge seemed impossibly sharp which let him know that was not a simple weapon. Azazel clentched his hands around his spear as Lucifer laughed.
"Return Vasago to me as well and the traitor with you? If you drop the knee to me I will save you and let you into my service."
God on the other hand was not about to let Adrian leave unscathed.
"For the sins you have committed against Heaven you shall not be leaving here."
Adrian finally spoke after he had made a plan in his head. He removed his sword from Baraqiel's neck and pushed him forward.
"Azazel, if I return him you must leave with your army at once. I rather not have you partake in this brutal slaughter that shall occur right now."
Amara began to surge with power as her form began to get larger and larger. In just a few moments she had returned to her true form that of an Everlasting Dragon. The power of a Heavenly Class Dragon surged from her body as she unleashed a powerful roar.
From Adrian's shadow began to emerge the rest of his dragons and his manticores. Scorn, Devastator, Russ, Kalameet, Eeuwigdurend and even the two healed Undead Dragons emerged. Moxaura and Theresia emerged around him as they faced the gathered armies.
Seeing Adrian's gathered dragons made them pause as just one dragon was a threat. 8 dragons and 2 powerful manticores would be a world-ending threat that caused even God and the 4 Devil Kings to take pause.
Azazel when he saw that realized he was being offered a way out and accepted.
"I shall leave if you return him."
Viron teleported Baraqiel to Azazel's side, but not before leaving a little gift. The giant demon dragon hybrid spoke up to warn Azazel of betrayal. His voice went from his aged tone to a deep guttural one.
"Take your leave Fallen, I have placed a powerful curse on that one's soul. If you decide to go against your word, it will devour his soul and magic to fule a powerful curse. Leave."
Azazel grit his teeth as he decided to do just that. The spatial rift opened behind him as his army surged back, but Adrian could tell that Kokabiel who was with Azazel was not happy. His excitement to fight so many dragons was clear to see, but it was denied from him.
All the higher-ups of Grigori were here, but they began to return at Azazel's order. Seeing that made Lucifer enraged.
"Coward."
Azazel did not care and before long the Fallen Army had left. Now it was just the Angels and Devils who had gathered facing Adrian's Demons and Dragons. Adrian did not plan to stay long for a prolonged engagement as even Ddriag and Albion had lost so he was not looking to risk it.
'Viron, can you teleport us away back to Anor Londo?'
'I can, but such a distance and for such a large group will take me at least 2 minutes. 5 if I participate in the battle. I can multitask after all.'
'Buying 5 minutes will be a breeze.'
"Rexam, go wild."
"FUCK YEAH!"
His face began to extend as his body surged with muscles and fur. Similar to Amara he began to grow larger until he reverted back to his massive Minotaur form. Aurelia copied her father and also returned to her true demon form which was smaller than her father, but still large.
Unlike him, she did not lose her mind when she did so as she was not a mad berserker like him. He charged straight at God as Amara did the same for the Satans. Adrian drew his blades as he planned to fight Lucifer by himself. From his shadow began to emerge the 100 Heldrakes which would show these primitives the power of Chaos Daemon engines.
Adrian's dragons, demons, and his manticores split up to face the two armies. Aurelia, Scorn, Kalameet, and the Abyss Legion followed Adrian. His brother Devastator choose to follow Rexam to offer backup as the giant fought God he would face the three Seraphs. The Night Lords followed after him with the Theresia, Russ, Eeuwigdurend and the two Undead Dragons flew to the angels.
Aurelia and her elite troops split in half as she followed her father. As all this went on Adrian had a large snarl under his helmet as he jumped toward Lucifer.
"COME ON!"
