Chapter 40

" Ara don't look at me like that I won't bite promise," said Roxanne while chuckling at their reactions.

Maybe it was the experience he got in the great war Kokobiel changed his expression back to normal and asked wearily,

"Why is the leader of the shadow garden here? As far as I know, you don't meddle in other pantheons' businesses as long as they don't antagonize you first, and clearly remember ordering my subordinates not to meddle with your group "

" Haha, Kokobiel you are correct in that I will not meddle in the other pantheon businesses. But let me ask you have you ever wondered what my race is…" asked Roxanne playfully.

Kokobiel was silent because that is the information all the other pantheons were painstakingly trying to find too. If she was one of their own races they could try to bargain with her or come up with some countermeasures against her. But no they couldn't find it. No living person knew anything of it.

" Since you are all ready to start a war and why don't we make a little bet, "

" a bet "

" yeah, you see if you can survive my attacks for the next 20 minutes I will reveal my race for you, but if you lose you will have to be an obedient crow and come with me peacefully,"

Kokobiel was very tempted, although he was very cautious, he prided himself in running away and stalling for time, And with his strength, he doubted even if Sirzechs was here he could survive and injure him badly.

" Fine "As soon as he said that, he felt it was a contract that was connected to him by soul, he might've miscalculated a little bit.

Clapping her hand Roxanne said cheerfully

" well, then the timer starts now <Gate of Babylon>"As Roxanne said this various portals began to appear behind her and countless weapons came out from them. Just looking at them one could tell that are far better than the Excalibur swords.

With a wave of her hand, these weapons launched at Kokobiel with unbelievable speed that they almost skewered him.

Kokobiel quickly created two lances and tried to parry the weapons but there were too many for him.

He then used his wings to lift into the air to dodge but he was still overwhelmed.

But with his experience, he was barely managing to endure the onslaught. After a full five minutes, the attack stopped, Kokobiel who was sweating all over was trying to give a smug smile to Roxanne when he heard,

" wow, you survived for 5 minutes that's a new record there. Well, there is 15 more left would like to try round two. " she said like a Devil having fun tormenting her prey.

" how ..man..y more w.. weapons do… you have..e anyw..ay "

" oh you are talking about these, they are just prototypes or common weapons I created, so they are just a minority, and for now round two how about I use some weapons I grade as C quality for the test "

Everyone was dumbfounded at her words, you must that she pulled a whole arsenal of weapons nonstop for 5 minutes. And the quality of these weapons are similar to the Excalibur fragments. Shen tells them these swords are basically trash to her. Is making strong weapons easy like plucking fruits from trees.

" Wait didn't she say Gate of Babylon, isn't that the name of the treasure collection of the King of Hero's Gilgamesh? Does that mean it's a sacred gear " asked Akeno as she remembered the tale of Gilgamesh and his love for collecting treasures.

" ahh sorry to burst your bubble but I don't have any human aspect to me, so I can't have a sacred gear. And I named this technique <Gate of Babylon> cause it's just me trying my toys. And I bet my collection is way more larger than his one. Because unlike him all these weapons are made by me in my free time. " said Roxanne smugly.

Kokobiel felt that he was scammed big time. He wanted to protest at the unfairness, 'At least if you are beating me do it in a fight and let me die like a worrier and not be humiliated like that '

Roxanne as though hearing his thoughts said,

"Well now that you have rested enough let's start the next round"

Saying so she started the unsought agam. Kokobiel could only just dodge all of them while cursing Roxanne and her seven generations internally.

~Another 10 minutes later.~

" wow you really have vitality like a cockroach, " said Roxanne a little surprised. While looking at now Kokobiel.

His previous arrogance is no more, he has various blood trails on almost every part of his body. His wings were now in a sorry state defending some weapons. Fear could be seen in his eyes.

" well then let's end this " saying so Roxanne waved her hand and the weapons that were launched by her and the ones that were floating beside her all went inside the portals that appeared near them.

She then walked towards Xenovia who was near her. She then picked up the sword Durandal that was beside her on the ground.

" I will be borrowing this for a while so don't mind it too much okay, " Roxanne said as she tried to pick it up.

" wait don't try to pick it up, Durandal doesn't allow anyone other than its welder to wield …" She trailed off as she said that Roxanne picking up Durandal and doing some light Stretches.

" hmm decent enough, should be better if I polish it a bit " mumbled Roxanne.

"Well anyway, Kokobiel since you survived this long I thought I'd give you a little reward. If you can remain conscience after this I will tell you my race. " saying so She poured magic power into the sword and it glowed with mystic light.

The holiness in that light made all the devils shiver. Kokobiel felt nostalgic about that light. He had seen the previous owner of that sword Vasco Strada, the violence of Heaven used on him in their previous battle. But Kokobiel felt that even he wouldn't be able to do it to this extent.

' what a monster ' Thought Kokobiel as he prepared himself when he saw Roxanne slashing at him.

The slash was nothing difficult. She just slashed at him, not too slow but not too fast either. But the aftermath of that attack is terrifying.

The ground beneath them was a huge crater, the space itself was broken, and the barrier that was covering them all was broken to shreds as soon as the attack was launched.

Kokobiel who was the receiver of this attack was barely holding. Two of his wings were gone, and one of his arms was missing. He was all bloodied. But strangely enough, he still held his consciousness even when it was sure that a another minute he would collapse.

" ohh congratulations you were able to stay conscience, since you have worked hard I shall give you thy gift, but first let's patch you up shall we " Saying so Roxanne pointed her finger towards him gathering some energy Kokobiel was most familiar with.

It was light magic, the magic that fallen Angels use. She then fired a beam that enveloped him. Slowly his injuries were being closed and his regeneration was doubled. He estimated it would take a week's rest for him to get back up.

But that made him question, how did she used light magic and heal injuries that Gregory required experts or healing sacred gears to heal in this short while.

But then he saw an unbelievable sight, a sight even if he was Azazel would tell you its bulshit.
