"Don't you dare talk about innocent, when you killed my family!" Baraqiel roared, and in the cover of the several Spears of Light fired towards the demon masked boy, Baraqiel himself also rocketed himself among the Spears of Light, and created another Spear of Light, so he can personally pierce the heart of this fiend, that took everything that he had hold dear to him!
However, when those several Spears of Light was halfway towards the boy in the demon mask. The boy himself merely looked at them, before turning his red eyes towards Baraqiel, as a black mist appeared behind the boy. And from the black mist itself, was several lances, that all have black chains attached to them, appeared from the abyss itself.
And just like if they are snakes themselves, those black lances strike at the Spears of Light. And the moment the black lances, and the dark purple spears clashed. Both of them cancel each other out.
But that didn't matter to Baraqiel, he never cared, if those Spears of Light were to harm this sinner, that took everything from him. And thrusts Spear of Light in his hands towards the heart of the demon kid, who formed a black kite shield before the Spear of Light, and successfully block the spearhead.
Seeing his attack failed, Baraqiel begun to use his own physically strength to add more power behind the Spear of Light. And begun pushing the boy back, alongside the dark kite shield he made.
"Say, aren't you curious about your wife and daughter?" Suddenly went voice of the murderer of his family.
"Shut it!" However, Baraqiel wasn't in the right state of mind to listen. Which made the demon masked boy sighed. Before he used his free hands, and created a giant black hammer, only to cancel the dark kite shield, and smashed the giant hammer into the Spear of Light, and Baraqiel, sending this Fallen Angel down to the ground.
"Seems like I been to beat some sensed into this wild bear." Simply said the boy, and instantly disappeared, and reappeared besides the fallen Baraqiel, who noticed the boy, and dodged the hammer, before it hit him for the second time.
Baraqiel who dodged the hammer, made some distance and summoned countless Arrows of Light at the boy. Who easily dodged them and flipped the two long and very dark misty wings on his back. And flew in the air, and Baraqiel follow suit, not noticing the boy is leading him further into the forest.
However, even if the boy was fast. Baraqiel with his five times more wings, is faster. And soon caught up with the demon masked boy, and created another Spear of Light, and swing it at the boy, whose black misty wings disappears, and reappeared on his chest, pulling the boy forwarded, dodging the spearhead once again.
Baraqiel eyes narrowed, not at the ingenious way of using this power. But the power this boy had, seems familiar to him. He never fought something like this. And yet, he has a feeling he heard about this ability that is similar to his Light Weapon Creation.
But that's not all, with that small exchange just now. Baraqiel doesn't feel he is fighting a newbie, but someone that experienced countless battlefields… but isn't he a little too young? Or maybe he just this small because he is not human? Baraqiel knew this person with no aura, besides the bloodlust that covered his body, due to him killing his family. Is not human.
After all, only humans that can battle a peak Ultimate-Class existence like himself. Is a human with a Sacred Gear, or those humans with their special bloodline. Which the Devils and the Angels referred them as High Humans, since they are stronger than common humans, even if they are humans themselves. (AN: Will be explained in the future, what High Humans are, and they not part of the DxD canon, but an element in this Fanfic, you understand in the future chapters)
Besides those two, there no way a human child, like this demon masked killer, can be around the same level of strength as him. And not to mention… if he really human, why can't he feel any Magic Power belonging to him?
Baraqiel took a deep breath to get rid of those unnecessary thoughts. And summoned something that he had used to stayed many Satan-Class and Ultimate-Class Devils with. And that is his sword, unlike the normal Sword of Light, Baraqiel's sword isn't like a longsword, that similar to a long cross.
No, it more like a 2.5m long 0.4m wide, and 0.25m thick claymore. And Baraqiel's is a swordsman not a spearman to begin with. That is why, once his mind went clearer, he come more serious before the boy. Who ended his family.
(AN: Mention in Fandom, Baraqiel can used a sword made of Light Creation/Weapon Creation, so I guess he is stronger with a sword, but I can't imagine Baraqiel, and his build to wield a simple longsword, since a claymore will suit him better)
"Even if my life ends today, I would swear to avenge my daughter and wife's souls, the last thing I do!" Baraqiel went as lighting become to strike from the heavens themselves, and into the Greatsword of Light, which transformed into a claymore that made of pure and powerful Holy Lightning. A weapon that is very deadly towards the Devils, and still powerful to even harmed Super-Class beings.
Seeing the sword made of pure lighting, the demon mask boy stared at the sword, and sighed.
"Listen… will you?" The boy tried to reason with this crazy father. However, Baraqiel ignored the boy's words. And with his ten black angel wings, he soared towards the boy, and slashed down the Sword of Lightning.
The moment the sword made of pure Holy Lightning about to hit the boy, he created a black kite shield, but it was useless. As the kite knight like shield was easily sliced in two, and sword that made Baraqiel one of the strongest among the Archangels, and the second strongest in Grigori. Managed to slice the boy in the demon mask in two, as from his waist itself, as two halves fallen to the ground, and black blood spatted all over the ground.
Baraqiel was slightly alarmed to see the black blood. But it not the first time, to see a humanoid being, with different colour blood, then red. But seeing the boy is dead, Baraqiel's Sword of Lightning disappeared, like it never been there. And sighed, and looked towards his house, that is about a mile away where they are at.
However, when Baraqiel was about to returned home, and bury what remain of his wife and child. A voice from behind him was heard.
"When was it, the last time I was cut in half? Was it Verethragna? That damn battle manic… now then, will you listen to me… or do I have to become serious here?" Went the murderer of his family voice. As Baraqiel seriously looked at the boy, that should be died, but somehow is back in one piece. And even more noticeable, was his overcoat, if the boy was cut in half, by his waist, there should be some of it missing. However, the black overcoat looked fine, like it has never been damaged.
"Verethragna…?" Baraqiel knew that child looking god, who seems around 15 years old. He even fought against him few times as well, he is known to dislike to be ordered around, unless he is forced to. And loved to fight, even if he is known as a God of Victory, and fight against injustice. The truth is, that God is nothing but a child who loved to fight.
And Baraqiel recalled from Azazel, that the Abyssal King and Verethragna fought each other early this year. Proving the up and raising monster that appeared three years ago out of thin air. Was already about to reached Satan-Class, the peak of Ultimate-Class. No matter how one looked at it, from Low-Class to Satan-Class in three years, is monstrous, no matter how one sees it.
And one had to remember, this Abyssal King is just a child himself. That still hasn't matured to his full power yet. Meaning either this kid once he reached adulthood, will be either Super-Class, or near it. No matter what, the Abyssal King, and the Black Gate, that he belongs to, and the leader of, is something to be cautious of. Especially since the Abyssal King can devoured others, and become stronger, like some Evil Dragons could do as well.
But unlike them, the Abyssal King seems to devour more power of others, compared to those Evil Dragons themselves. And the Abyssal King can devour others through direct touch as well… knowing that, Baraqiel realised how foolish he was fighting the Abyssal King in close combat, if he made one wrong move, he will be devoured by this monster.
Of course, Baraqiel is overlooking the fact, when Baraqiel pinned this boy down firstly. The demon masked boy could devour some of Baraqiel's power, instead of sending him flying out of the house. But he didn't realised that, and summoned his Holy Lighting, and several Holy Lightning Spears, stronger than those Spears of Light, that he had created with his Light Weapon Creation, appeared around him.
"You are the Abyssal King… I heard about you… you really young, as the rumour says… if I recall, you are also a hitman… the Himejima Clan hired did they…?" Baraqiel asked.
"Kinda, in a way, yes." Abyssal King said, he was in fact hired to kill Suou and the other members from his 'client'. But Baraqiel thought it was his child and wife that are targets.
"I see, I make you tell me who hired you, after I put you down myself!" Baraqiel said, and like that. The Holy Lightning Spears pointed towards the boy in the demon mask, the Abyssal King himself. And just like that, several spears made of lightning strikes down at the Abyssal King, who dodged half of them, and used that black mist of his, and created dark tentacles, and lashes at the spears made of Holy Lightning.
If that attack wasn't enough, the Abyssal King looked at the sky, noticed Baraqiel has fired a mass of Holy Lightning into the sky, only for a beam of pure Holy Lightning striking down towards the Abyssal King, who didn't bother dodging this time, and begun to cover himself in black metallic sinister looking armour. And took the Holy Lighting head on.
However, as Baraqiel expected the boy to be heavily wounded by the lightning. Since the Abyssal King is known to be immortal, or the method to kill him hasn't been found yet. So Baraqiel knew killing the murderer of his family is out of question.
However, Baraqiel's eyes narrowed seeing the Holy Lightning from the Holy Lightning Ray, being consumed by this boy's black armour, even if there some cracks had formed on it.
"Hahaha, I think I broke several bones just now." The Abyssal King said, as he looked at Baraqiel, who seems to have more Light Power left inside him to cast another ten or so of these beams of lightning. That has enough power to destroy a street, seeing the burnt ground around the Abyssal King.
"You know, I had wasted too much time already." The Abyssal King went, as he looked at the Fallen Angel with ten black wings.
"You think I let you go?" Baraqiel said with a serious tone, that have hints of killing intent within.
"I know you wouldn't, but yet again, don't you want to see your child and wife again?" When the Abyssal King ask Baraqiel this, his eyes widen upon hearing the boy's words.
"What you mean… by that? Didn't you already killed them, you monster!?" Baraqiel went.
"If you think that mess in the living room is your family, when you are wrong. I already teleported them in a safe location. The bloody mess is the Himejima Clan that decided to come for a home visit, you know? They all have housewarming gifts, like knives, axes, swords… no I don't think that was a sword, but a cleaver, right? Either way, the blood and gore doesn't belong to your dear Shuri and Akeno.
No, think about it, do you think your child and wife have that much flesh and blood in them? And what you should be worried about, if your wife think you are cheating on her, with another man, an old man at that. Oh my, Baraqiel, you don't like being a M anymore… so you tied up Himejima Suou to your bed, with your own wife's bandage tools? By the way, Suou that old man, was the one in charge among the other guests you had… that are all covered in your living room."
When Baraqiel heard the words of the Abyssal King, Baraqiel titled his head in confusion. Of course, Baraqiel overlook the nonsense, that sound like the Abyssal King taunting, or trolling him. And realised the truth behind the massacre in his living room, and as the name of that man who should be in his, and his wife's bedroom. Of course, that if the Abyssal King's words are true.
And Baraqiel also did want to know… how did this kid knew he is a M. But that. But that can wait for another time. Knowing his wife and child are safe, he sighed at one moment. But become serious once again, knowing his family not only alive. But in the hands of this monster before him.
