Kurayami was managing all of their battles and he choose the Dimesinal Gap as he did not want to cause more city destruction. Who knew what would happen if too many were destroyed, but now he focused on how each girl fought their foe.
He noticed how Raynare eyes's turned pitch black as she focused on her connection to Vritra. The giant Evil Dragon and landed on his head. One thing was she could call Vitra to the material world for a limited amount of time.
It was incredible that a soul like Vitra who was dead could be forced back to life by the power of his host. When he ripped out the will's out of them all and stood back to watch. As for the Will of God from her sacred gear and when it emerged it remembered the death its counterpart had at the hand of Kurayami.
It wanted to attack him at all costs, but he would not allow it. Kurayami had already sealed it in. it looked at Raynare and felt that he was a fool as she was sealed inside with it where it could torture her and take her hostage to get out.
Contrary to the wild thoughts Kurayami felt that it was trapped in with her and she saw only food. Sephits appeared in her hands while the scythe felt hunger toward the will of God. He was licking his metaphorical lips in hunger.
While this will would be weaker than the one he fought it was still the result of 6 lesser wills and not as strong. Each level of sacred gear had a different level of how strong the will was and these 6 lesser wills fused into one to face her.
He was confident in the girls, but he was still kind of worried at the same time and ready to interfere just in case. It was the will of a being who was actually either tied or stronger than Shiva and so Raynare had to be careful.
She saw how the different consciousness of the past wielders of the previous holders was being devoured just like Kurayami thought. She has to say with those gone her sacred gear would be one step closer to it just being hers and hers alone.
"Thank you for getting rid of the God, my soul feels lighter already. Vritra, you ready to commit Deicide?"
She looked down at the giant Evil dragon who nodded while his tentacles were surging in Death magic.
"Ready."
From the start, Kurayami destroyed the self-destruct arrays in their sacred gear so the will would have to fight them if it wanted to continue to exist. Yet even if it won, Great Red would kill it anyway.
"The Enveloper's Judgment. Balance breaker."
Her black and red armor appeared on her body while the aura of a semi-super fallen angel was clear to see. Her bloodlust and intent to fight were so great that even the will felt she was insane.
"Let's dance GOD."
Both of them charged at the will of God and as she got into a deadly fight he focused on the others. Esdeath would be facing a harder challenge for the simple reason that Algor the demon of her sacred gear was all too ready to betray her.
She had to face God and a traitorous demon at the same time, but she would not have it any other way Only through absolute might would she surpass her lover and her rival Raynare. She drew her rapier while she unleashed her new balance breaker.
One thing she did was force the soul of Algor into the armor which pissed it off and tried to fight back, but Kurayami forced it into doing what she wanted. This time it had no chance to fight back and its soul and power was turned into demonic ice armor.
"Imperial Hel Armorment, Balance Breaker."
A chilling aura of a demon emerged from her and at a glance, Kurayami could see this was the last push she needed to become a super fallen angel which Raynare was in the same boat. He knew they were in a race so whoever won would win their bet.
The will felt the danger and a spear and sword of light that lit up the sealed space emerged in its hand. Just looking at Esdeath's new armor he had to say it looked awesome, plus it was agony for Algot who was having his soul and power devoured by Esdeath.
It was the push she needed and by the looks of it, if Algor did not submit within a year he would die and she would eat him. Before the will even got the chance to spout some of its holy preaching she pounded.
Just like Kurayami, she was not one to wait for a monologue, and once her subspecies balance breaker appeared she attacked with the full ferocity of her skill. She did not talk in battle and would not do so until her foe was silent and dead.
When their weapons clashed he notice how even light was turning to ice if it got too close to her. He had no clue how that worked, but the magic did not follow logic. In his past world moving faster than light was just not possible.
Here moving faster than light was possible and nothing bad happen as a result. Now he glanced at who was having the easiest time dealing with this trial. Kurayami glanced at Akeno who's trial was maybe the easiest as a giant mass of shadow was filling her small arena.
The will read her memories and it was disgusted by her relationship with her own brother and it even told her as such.
"You are a sick sinner, an incestuous harlot. Maybe you be purged and-"
Akeno stopped listening and the shadows surged forward and one thing that made her confident was how her sacred gear got this strong. Her brother had gotten it for her and he had made it stronger for her which made it a perfect counter to Divine beings.
It was because of Shin and as he was an anti divine creature so what better way to go against this Divine will. She waved her hand forward while her magic circles turned black and all the light spears were covered in shadow.
It was different from Azrael's Death Spear, Raynare's, or Kurayami's Void Spears as no two were exactly the same. Even Raynare's Death Spears were not the same as her grandfathers. This time Akeno was truly mad that even her eyes stared at the will with an icy glare.
"Fist of all, if your opinion mattered you would not be dead. Second of all, why can't I just be happy with the person I love, Third of all, just die."
At her command the shadows surged forward while her pet Elektra appear behind her looking like a giant dragon with blue scales. Akeno was a genius when it came to elemental spells as Kurayami could only use Fire, Lightning, and Shadow.
She could use all of the others and the thousand of magic circles along with spears of light all the while she had a big cheerful smile on her face. Her eyes on the other hand were just like Kurayami's and it seemed that it ran in the family.
She bombarded the will which made it despair as just touching the shadow was bad as its weapons would be devoured and it would get hurt. The more it was damaged the more its energy was devoured by the shadows of her sacred gear and converted into pure energy.
At that moment it lost an arm and one thing that even Kurayami forgot about was that the Himejima clan were all descended from Amaterasu. He included and it seemed that Akeno had acquired something from her heritage which he had not for some reason.
She had her talents and he had his which was fine by him as he could not be the best at everything. A bright yellow flame appeared in her right hand which was tainted black by the effect of her sacred gear. As she glanced at the flame she smiled as she looked at the will and back to Kurayami with a smile.
"I think I got it this time. Balance Breaker, Curse of The Abyss."
She gazed at the will that had its face twisted in agony and unwillingness to die. Akeno licked her lips while her saidst tendencies were going crazy and the shadows all imploded toward her which drove the attention of Lurayami. When the shadows all were condensed around his sister forming a Black Knight-like armor.
It left her eyes exposed, but when she realized what it had turned into she did not know why it turned into that. Seeing her like that while only her eyes were visible actually impressed him and he thought she looked hot in armor. Akeno spoke up as she checked out the armor.
It was embarrassing as she was a mage, not a warrior.
"Brother, why did it turn into armor? I am a mage, not a warrior."
Just looking at her flustered made Kurayami laugh, but as he was not using his glasses he saw what the armor was doing clearly. He was truly impressed with the effect as it suited her perfectly. Not only could it still reflect blows like normal it had some juicy perks that she would love.
He explained it to her while the will was frozen in shock from the high anti divine aura she released.
"The armor acts like a giant amp for your magic, and it draws in magic from the air to fuel your mana consumptions. Not only that it amps the power of your spells by 3. Don't get me started on your control over shadows, it is impressive sis."
As for its appearance, he thought it might have been the fact that he had used Shin to make it stronger and Canis Lycaon formed a type of armor. He would tell her later, but he did tell her all the perks with telepathy which shocked her.
As a mage, any increase in magic damage was godly, and the fact she could still deflect blows meant she had just gained more survivability. This armor was a godsend and she was more than pleased with it.
"Guess I match brother then. That is fine too. Let's try it out shall we God."
She smiled and as only her eyes were visible the will saw how her eyes squinted in a smile and she raised her hands trying out the new spell she learned. The spell formed a magic circle with the head of a fox as its motif.
Akeno thought she might want to go see her ancestor to learn more about her abilities and Kurayami also would want to talk to her. Amaterasu and the Shinto gods were much better mannered than the Greeks.
The giant magic circle tripled in size and she barely felt the drain on her magic as her Balance Breaker did its job taking mana from the air and the magic circle erupted in yellow and black flames taking the shape of a 9 tailed fox.
It roared at the will of God and charged at it, with bared teeth. The will raised his spear and charged at the spell to take it with it, but it just ended up eaten.
When the will was destroyed the flaming fox entered the armor of Akeno and the head of a fox appeared on the chest plate and 9 tails similar to Kurayami's in his EX balance Breaker appeared behind her.
She felt the energy of the spell and the will enter her heart and condense into the thing that Raynare and Esdeath were desperate to form. A very small Divine Spark, that as it stood would take years before it took root.
Watching how his sister destroyed the will before even Raynare and Esdeath was a surprise for him, but Akeno felt something extra on her back. She looked back and what she saw made her smile with pride. She finally grew her 7th set of wings.
Once she was done she walked toward him while her Balance Breaker was released. She was exhausted as her new Balance Breaker was draining on her stamina, not her magic.
"Brother, how did I do?"
He wrapped his arm around her and his hand groped her ass around her tail bone. She blushed she thought he was trying to get dirty with her here, but no such luck to her. He was checking to make sure she hadn't grown a tail.
He let go while Rebellion gave her a thumbs up.
"You are the first and least likely I thought to get a Divine Spark as I thought one of those two would get it."
Akeno moped as they seemed to be certain that she had a small chance for it to succeed. She looked at Kurayami who looked away as he too did not think she would get her's first.
Artemis tapped her chin while she looked at Akeno.
"While you are talented we always thought it was most likely going to happen to Raynare or Esdeath. It seems Divine Sparks is more mysterious than we thought."
Kurayami agreed with their words, but from the look of her Divine Spark, it was nothing more than a seedling. She was far from reaching divinity and she also had to think of which one to pursue.
Now that she was done he looked at the last two undergoing this trial. Lavinia and Natsume who just as he expected Natsume was having it easier than Lavinia.The stronger the sacred gear the stronger the will.
"What do you know? The stronger the sacred gear and the person the harder the challenge. What irony right GR?"
The Giant Dragon grumbled that it did not like that name. Kurayami lay down while he carefully monitored each girl's fight with the wills of God. They might take a while for the weaker ones, but it gave him time to relax with Great Red and the girls.
