DxD 46 – Assaulting the Cultists (2)

Around the same time, when Gunnar sensed the aura of his people, as well the aura of the very person he trusts, as much he does with Shiba Tatsuya.

Outside of this very warehouse, lies five men, who all happened to be High Humans themselves, and among these High Humans, that prided themselves as much, that Devils and Vampires do with their prideful bloodlines.

Lies the only Middle-Class High Human among these five.

And this very Middle-Class High Human just happened to be the one of the three High Humans that happened to personally kidnapped the Fujiwara Sisters.

He is the very same person, who happened to be the owner of that reddish blue Sacred Gear sword, and also the one that held that red stone, the very red stone, that is capable of detecting the bloodline of a High Human among humanity.

With a cigarette in his mouth, the Middle-Class High Human stood near the four other High Humans near him, while paying no attention to the four Low-Class High Humans, that hasn't noticed him near them.

While being uninterested in their nonsense. The High Human, who is the welder of that reddish blue sword of a Sacred Gear. Just stares at the half-moon slowly reaching downwards, showing there only mere hours until daybreak to reach them.

"Gan, that lucky bastard, to think her Ladyship allowed him to have that lass all to himself. You think if we ask her Ladyship, she also allows us in the action?"

However, when the Middle-Class High Human didn't care about the talk among these four low ranking High Humans, but their words did got his attention, which caused this Middle-Class High Human to finally pay them any attention.

Gan is someone the High Human knew very well. After all, he is also much like himself. He is a talent among the High Human race, that reached the Middle-Class level before reaching 30 years old, like himself.

But that not all, Gan is also a Sacred Gear user.

Due to being elites that reached the Middle-Class realm sooner compared to the average High Human, and being Sacred Gear welders, made their places in the order (cult) irreplaceable.

So it no wonder, why this uninterested High Human become slightly interested, when they mention Gan's name.

However, upon listening to one of the four low ranking High Humans said with a shameless expression, as well an envied look as well.

The welder of that reddish blue Sacred Gear sword, soon become uninterested again, when they talked about what happened mere moments ago.

One might question the sanity of their Ladyship, the current leader of the High Humans at this warehouse, and mission of theirs.

After all, no sane person, especially a woman. Will order someone to do such an inhumane thing, to sexual assault someone.

And yet, her Ladyship personally ordered Gan to rape that pink haired lass, who managed to survive the awakening ritual, due to the awakening of her Sacred Gear at that time.

It's not like the High Human didn't understand why her Ladyship ordered such an inhuman thing to that girl.

In fact, he truly understood why her Ladyship ordered such a thing, to the point it is very sickening so.

But at the same time, this High Human also personally doesn't care at the same time.

Instead of feeling any sort of remorse, he just stared at the half-moon within the sky, while the other four High Human discuss such inhuman things, that is fairly common within their order (cult).

"I know, I know! That lucky bastard, did you see her body? She is smoking hot, and him having her to himself, damned it!" Went another shameless one, who cursed as well.

"Agree, agree, and triple agree, it hard to believe, what she looks around 15 or so, right? But her body is so developed. Damned I really envy that bastard Gan having her all to herself. But it is a sacred duty to pass our bloodline as High Humans onwards, so if you think about it, it wouldn't be wrong of us to join in, since it is a sacred duty that has to be refilled, more we are, better the chance, don't you agree?"

Went another with a shameless perverted smile, to the point, the not so caring Middle-Class High Human narrowed his eyes a little hearing that remark.

"Guys… this is a child we talking about, she is 15, and some of us here is double her age, you know?" Went the only one, that doesn't seem to be lusting over that pink haired girl, that has been taken by Gan.

"In some counties, being 15, no even 14 years old, doesn't mean a thing, so what if Japan laws are different, we are High Humans, you think we need to follow the rules set by normal humans?" Arrogantly went one of the High Humans, who snorted at the remarks of the only sane High Human among the four of them.

"That right, loosen up a little, it just half a joke." Went one of them, who said this in a joking manner.

In a way, it is true they are half joking, because they knew as the bottom ranking of the order they belong to, they wouldn't be allowed to have a go with that pink haired Japanese teenager.

After all, she is a barer of a Sacred Gear, even if she hasn't fully awakened as a High Human, unlike her sisters has. Doesn't mean her place in their order will be small.

Of course, like it is said, they are half joking, if they were given a chance, they will run with only their lower halves in their minds, to refill their sexually desires onto that girl, poorly so.

And yet, the Middle-Class High Human didn't say anything to this remark. After all, most of them in their cult are like this.

In their order(cult), women has the duty to pass on their bloodline as High Humans. Of course, more potential they have, older they can be to perform their sacred duties to the order.

Not to mention, the likes of Low-Class Humans will never be given the right to perform the sacred duty of producing a child with someone like that pink haired lass.

Even if she not fully awakened as a High Human, her place in the order is already same as his own. That how important Sacred Gears are, and for some reason, High Humans who born with Sacred Gears, grow faster compared to those that don't own Sacred Gears.

It is also the same, for those who own or acknowledge by the Divine Weapons.

Which is why that pink haired girl is important to them.

The order wouldn't order her to formed the sacred duty due to not because she is 15 years old, but because of her potential. Until the day when her potential reached its end, will be the day she will be forced to formed her duties, even if she doesn't want to.

Because refusing it, only means denying the superiority of their bloodlines.

'Not to mention, if Gan does manage to impregnate her, he is as good as dead. After all, that order was to prevent a worse fate of being defied by one person.'

Thought the sword user of the reddish blue Sacred Gear sword, who took one last smoke of his cigarette, before he tosses it onto the ground, and crushed it with his leather boots.

As soon he did this, he turned around, and about to entered the warehouse, not caring about the three High Humans lusting over that teenager, while only one sighed at their lustful remarks.

However, the moment he took a single step towards the warehouse. Was the moment his eyes widen, as his senses, that been formed through countless death and life situations, run through him.

And like so, without a single moment to waste, he summons that reddish blue sword, his Sacred Gear, Crismon Sea, and position himself ready for the sudden killing intent he just felt before him.

"Hey you morons, incoming attack!" When the Middle-Class High Human shouted this warning, the other four Low-Class High Humans becomes alarmed, as they not noticed someone else besides them.

Which is why they grown confused at his words at first. But soon they managed to snapped out of their confusion state, however, they were too late.

That is because, the moment he shouted this, was the moment the Middle-Class High Human's eyes widen, when he saw two men in black tactical armour appeared behind the four Low-Class Humans, along with two combat knives in their hands, with blades that sparks with blue light.

The Middle-Class High Human only could watch, as these two humans moved like ghosts, rivalling the speed of a Middle-Class High Human much like himself, only to appeared behind two of the Low-Class High Humans, only to cut their throats, ending their lives in matter of seconds. 

After two of the four Low-Class are killed, one of them snapped out of his state of confusion and used a speed based Spell to run away from the knife that about to cut his throat as well.

Lucky enough that Low-Class High Human reaction fast enough, however, that doesn't change the fact a red bloody line shown on his neck, showing he was only mere moments away from death himself.

But the second surviving Low-Class High Human wasn't so lucky, even if he did react in time, he did the foolish thing, he went head on against their unknown attackers, and tried to attack, but the soldier looking human easily dodged the axe they brought out, and slashed at his neck, removing his head in the progress!

"W-What is this!?" Went the only surviving Low-Class Human, that happened to be the only one, that didn't lust over Toyomi, the true identity of the girl they been taking and lusting over just moments ago.

But before the Low-Class Human, who happened to be at the peak of Low-Class as well, tried to regain his chaos thoughts, his eyes widen with a thought that came to his mind, when he saw one of the two of their attackers, put away those dagger-like combat knives, and took out an advance looking pistol by his side.

A pistol with a silencer, the moment both him, and the Middle-Class High Human, with the sword Sacred Gear saw this, the identities of the two before them became clear, but before they could put which faction they belong to into words, a flash from the silencer happened.

And when a flash happened, a hole appeared between the eyes of the Low-Class Human, killing him in one single shot.

Normal firearms don't work as effectively to the beings of the supernatural. This also goes the same way for High Humans as well. 

Sure, a firearm like a shotgun is capable of killing a Low-Class Devil up close, but a Middle-Class? Impossible.

After all, even if you don't specialise in physically strengthening yourself. But when you evolve to the next level of your race, from Low-Class to Middle-Class, or Middle-Class to High-Class, right to Ultimate-Class.

Naturally, your physical body strengthen, even without training much in physical terms. That is why firearms are useless to the beings from the Supernatural.

And yet, here a mere pistol managed to one shot a peak Low-Class High Human. A feat that only one faction is capable of doing within the Supernatural.

"You assholes!" However, even if the user of the Crimson Sea Sacred Gear knew this, his pride, his proud race was insulted, as he watched four High Humans being killed by a mere gun!

Which is why his rage had taken over him, and dashed towards the two solder-like people before him, and slashed his Sacred Gear, Crimson Sea, that formed a wave like red water slash attack towards the two men, in tactical armour.

Even if the three of them shown the strength, speed and power of Middle-Class beings. There still distance between each class. And each class as different distance between them.

Which is why, it is cases, when Low-Class Devils could overwhelm other Low-Class Devils, even if they both Low-Class beings. And this is especially true when it comes to the distance between Ultimate-Class and Super-Class beings.

Not to mention, he is also a welder of a Sacred Gear, which make his combat strength to the peak of a Middle-Class High Human.

That is why, the moment when the two soldiers of the Middle-Class saw this wave like attack of crimson red blood sea water heading towards them. They knew dodging is pointless, due to the power in this attack is enough to cause a fatal wound on a Middle-Class beings like themselves.

However, when the crimson water slash arrived before these men, the two of them press something on their body somewhere. And when they did, a barrier formed between the two of them appeared, and blocked the attack.

Upon seeing his attack became useless, this didn't discourage the user of the Crimson Sea Sacred Gear, nor did it make him calmer either.

Which is why he yelled in rage, and this time, he didn't slash once, but twice in a row, forming a X-shaped crimson of red water slash this time around, that carried nearly triple the power this time around.

The moment the X-shaped slashed of the crimson water slashed against the barrier, cracks appeared on the barrier, but at the same time, the X-shaped water slash also disappeared.

But that didn't matter, in the first place, this powerful slash wasn't meant to break through the barrier, but to break the barrier itself.

After all, right behind the cross slashed attack, lies the Middle-Class high Human who grinned, and slashed his Crimson Sea towards one of the two soldiers before him.

Sounds of metal sounded, as a reddish blue sword, and a pitch black knife, with blue hue to the blade clashed against each other.

The moment the knife parried with the sword, another grin appeared on the Middle-Class High Human, as he active one of the abilities that Crimson Sea is capable of, besides sending water based attacks.

And this second ability? It is called Mindless Sea.

The very moment the sword and knife clashed against each other. A very unsettling wave of mental attack assaulted the tactical soldier, causing a massive headache assaulting his mind.

And in this moment of the soldier being mentally attacked, were an opening for the Middle-Class High Human, who smirked and slashed Crimson Sea, his Sacred Gear sword towards the neck of the soldier before him.

But that attack never reached. Because the moment when Crismon Sea's blade about to chop off the head of the man in the tactical armour. Were the moment heavy killing intent appeared out of nowhere, along with spikes made of ice heading his way.

The High Human halted his attack and strengthened his legs to leaped as hard he could, and barely dodged the spikes of ice, that stabbed into the place where he where at, preventing him taking the life of his enemy before him.

"Oh? What an interesting sword, I remember hearing there are Sacred Gears and Divine Weapons, that are capable of attacking the mind… but I never heard one that works when you parry."

A young girl voice was heard, that caused the High Human to remain on his guard, as he looked at his surroundings, where still paying attention to the two soldier like men before him.

He cannot help to feel annoyed at this unexpected situation. After all, he could manage these two Middle-Class level soldiers just fine, thanks to his Crimson Sea. However, as soon he saw that ice, and heard that bell like voice.

Something inside him is telling him, the person that just throw this ice attack, is on a different level compared to these two soldiers here, that somehow managed to make some distance between them.

"This… where are you, you coward!?" Roared the user of the Crimson Sea, as he tried to look for the owner of her voice.

"Coward? The weak has no right to complain the method of the strong, not to mention, who said I was hiding?"

Upon hearing the young voice from behind. The High Human automatically turned around only to have his eyes widen, when his eyes locked with a pair of sharp predator-like blue eyes, behind the locks of her blue hair, all he could see under her hood.

But that not all the High Human saw, besides those hunter like eyes, that looking at him if he is some prey, there also a silver-white longsword in her slender thin hands, a sword that could be called a masterpiece how beautiful and noble it looks.

And this very piece of art for a sword, is aiming for his neck!

Without thinking, the High Human parried the masterpiece level silver-white longsword, and when both reddish blue, and silver-white swords clashed against each other, the High Human eyes widen as the force of the teenager before him, managed to caused him to take two steps backwards.

Being the one who being pushed back, the High Human, who has the strength and power of a Middle-Class Devil, looked at the teenager before him with look of disbelief. However, he soon snapped out of it, when the teenager before his eyes, shows a smirking smile on her flawless lips.uman Hum

Sensing something wrong with that smirk, the Middle-Class High Human were about to use Mindless Sea. However, before he could form Mindless Sea with his Sacred Gear, he felt a chilling aura blasted from the masterpiece level sword, that his Crimson Sea is deadlocked with.

With his eyes widen, not only he felt the extremely cold aura just now, but his instincts also yelled at him to back away!

Which is why the High Human leaped backwards, getting away from teenager, only to land and look at the patches of frost on his Crimson Sea.

If he was a moment later, he will be frozen just by locking swords with this new attacker of his!

"Oh? Did you sense the danger? But what a shame, since you show me your parrying technique, I thought to show mine as well."

When the hooded teenager said that. Strong bloodlust could be felt from those blue predator like eyes, as they narrowed looking at him, and it doesn't help, as her bloodlust deepen, so did her smirk on her fine lips.

The High Human cannot help to feel something not right, while feeling his spine became cold, when he faced such unnatural bloodlust from a child no less!

But that isn't all, that took this High Human by surprise. Not only the dense bloodlust felt by someone near half his own age.

He also felt this girl whose face mostly hidden by her hood, is no normal human being. It is true, he could sense Magic Power from this girl.

But the thing about High Humans. Even if normal humans and High Humans are basically human beings born with Magic Power. But High Humans has denser Magic Power compared to humans has.

Which is why, anyone from the Supernatural who is capable of sensing magical sources, could tell whose a High Human and whose just a normal human magician based on the density of their Magic Power alone.

Because he could sense this predator like being before him is a High Human as well, he became shocked to his core, seeing someone who barely an adult yet, is slightly stronger than him?

He who is labelled as an elite among elites among the High Humans, who became a Middle-Class High Human before reaching 30 years old, is facing a child nearly half his own age, that already step ahead of him in terms of strength and power?

However, even if his pride felt it on the urge of snapping, facing such a monster among his kind. He took a deep breath to calm his hotted head and looked into those blue sharp eyes of hers.

"What is the meaning of this attack, Black Gate?" When the High Human asked this, he looked at the teenager, who halted her refine steps heading towards, and looked at him, with uninterested eyes.

It no wonder, why he could guess who they are. Only the Black Gate Faction welds such strange and powerful firearms that could kill Low-Class beings, if they made of paper.

What the High Human cannot understand, is why the Black Gate Faction even here for? Their faction, their order (Cult) has no relations with each other.

And yet, here they are, killing four of their own men before his very eyes.

Because he has no clue, why the Black Gate is attacking them or interfering with their Order. This bothers the High Human not understanding their reason to attack them, without a doubt, this could cause conflict between their order and the Black Gate Faction.

Author Notice

First thing first…

I am very sorry, I knew I said I was back, but I took a long time off right afterwards, before finishing the rest of vol.2 of this fanfic.

But I have my reasons, very personal reasons at that.

Someone close to me, a family member at that, almost died more than once within short time frame. Due to that, I found myself unable to write anything, like I lost my will to write at all.

It was the first time something like this happened to me. It felt different compared to writing block, that is one reason why I am very late for this chapter.

Another reason, as one thing happens, other things happened as well. In the end, it became hard to write both physically and mentally for me.

Good thing, all the ordeal is over for now. And no one died. (Besides some great uncle I don't know about or remember, rest in peace, I guess?)

Anyway, enough of excuses, like the greatest of sayings goes, Life is a Bitch, you never knew what will happened with each step you take.

-

Anyway, what you guys think?

I had to rewrote a lot of the original content, you know, the same old, some felt like robots, or I missing some things. Or felt like they need more detail.

Either way, while re-reading the damn thing, I cannot help to wonder… was I watching SVU (Special Victims Unit), when I wrote the whole Cult plot?

In the end, it doesn't matter, since scarily enough, those kind of things does happen in the real life as well, just not so often these days, compared to the past.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and to be honest, there another reason why I haven't post anything for four months, right?

Because, in case something like this happened again, I decided to rewrite and edited the rest of vol.2 chapters in advance.

That's right, after this chapter, and within next few days, whole ten more chapters would be uploaded.

So, I do hope you enjoy them, as much you did with this chapter, and the past chapters.

And I am sorry for any grammar, if you read until this point, you know I am not the best at grammar, and I would never be, due to my mental health.

That why, I aimed for chapters to be readable, not perfect, since as a person myself, I am so flawed, but yet again, I am only human.
