DxD 43 – Calling of the Abyssal King (2)

"I-It can't be… weren't you devoured by that monster….? No… I see, he didn't devour you dirty hounds who dared to-!?"

Once Simu figured who she is, by what he could see under her hood, and that familiar mature bell-like voice of hers.

His pride and disgust towards everything that is not pure or fully whole, driven his mind and clouded his judgement with pure racism.

Yet again, this kind of behaviour is very common among Vampires, especially among the pure blooded noble Vampires like himself.

But before he could finish off his mocking and racism words. The hooded woman in question, faded like a ghost, only to appeared right above him, who he still laying on the ground.

And just like that, a wave of her thin and sander hands, two sinister looking black longswords appeared out of thin air. Then she effortless grabbed the two sinister looking swords andstabbed twice with the right sword, into the shoulders of the Vampire below her.

And the sword in her left hand? She strongly thrusted it into the still recovering spine, that haven't fully recovered yet.

"Arrrggghh!?" Simu shrieked with a mouth full of blood, as he loses his focus due to the overwhelming pain. However, when he did manage to recover focus with his crimson red eyes. He could only blankly blink his eyes.

That is because, the moment regained his focus and sight again, is the moment the only thing he could see, was someone's high heel were heading right towards his right eye.

And before he could react, or manage to do anything, the pointy end of the high heel's thrusts into his right eye, not only stabbing into his crimson eye, but due to the force of the inhuman level stabbing kick, he was also blasted into the air!

The kicker, that treated the head of an Ultimate-Class Vampire, if it is a ball meant to be kicked. Didn't say a world, as she simply watched with her indifferent crimson red eyes, behind her show white hair under her hood, at the falling Simu, who heavily landed on the ground, increasing the number of his wounds done to his body.

When the Ultimate-Class Vampire landed onto the ground, the hooded woman simply went towards the battled Simu.

And when she stood before him. Her thin and sender hands reached for her hood, only to pull her hood down, allowing everyone before her to see her true face, and what she really looks like.

Flawless clear and white skin, that matches with a certain someone's else pale skin. Along with her crimson red eyes, that seems not only beautiful like gems, but also a cold charming aura to them. That gives off an imposing feeling to whoever looked at them.

Due to her long snow white hair, that seems to fade within the snow itself, as well her pale white skin. They give off an otherworldly feeling to the white haired woman, someone who seems both unreal and untouchable, almost like she is a fairy among mortals herself.

As for her body, as one expects from the world of DxD. It doesn't matter if it is a parallel or not. But women in this world are several levels higher they normally should be.

Slender waist, along with the perfect hourglass body companied with her long fine legs, and not to mention her fairly large breasts, that seems to tightly hugged themselves within the long coat she is wearing.

No matter how one looks at her, be it her otherworldly beauty, or her desirable body, she is ideal no matter how one look at it.

It is no wonder why many of the Dark Knights, no matter if they are men or women became charmed upon seeing her true face, along with her perfect body figure.

And yet, no one among the Dark Knights will dare to pursuit her, not because how out of the reach she seems to be. Because everyone among the Black Gate Faction knew who she really is.

Her name is Mary Aveline, and among the rankings of strength within the Black Gate Faction, not only she is third strongest among the current Demons and Dark Commanders. But she also the strongest female within the Black Gate Faction.

One has to know, the difference between a Dark Commander and a Demon is very different. Unlike Dark Commanders, Demons the titles given to certain individuals within the Black Gate Faction, who are genuine Ultimate-Class or above powerhouses through their own efforts, unlike Theodosis, who only this strong, with the aid of his armour, as well his personally giant hammer he was given.

Because she is the third strongest, as well the current strongest among all female members of the Black Gate Faction. Which means the only ones that can defeat or rival her, is the Supreme Commander of the Dark Knight Order, the current Demon King, as well the Abyssal King himself.

(A/N: Demon King – Is the title given to the strongest current Demon. Demon is the title given to genuine Ultimate-Class or above beings within the Black Gate Faction – More about this in the Glossary about Black Gate Faction)

She is the Demoness of the Twin Swords, Mary Aveline. And just like Shiba Tatsuya, she is one of few people within the Black Gate Faction, who is trusted by the Abyssal King, as well one of their founding members as well.

Because of the Abyssal King's trust, one can imagine how much status she has within the Black Gate Faction, enough to know of the Abyssal King's true face, unlike most members, who has no clue what lies behind the mask of that monstrous being.

Mary looked at the battled former Lord of the Mondragon Vampire Clan, who still looking at her with disgust along with fear. Mary didn't blink her crimson red eyes, before she wordlessly sliced off the arms and legs of the defenceless Simu, the moment she arrived before him.

But that isn't all she done, as the former Vampire Lord begin to cry in agony, she even snapped her fingers, casting a spell on his missing limbs. A spell that prevents natural recovery of certain beings, who has high recovery rates.

After all, even if Mary severed Simu's limbs, they would only take tens of seconds for him to recovery them. He isn't a high ranking Vampire for nothing. 

"Y-You… how dare you insignificant-!?" Even if Simu is overwhelmed with fear and agony. His pride and ego as a Vampire still remained, as he right away show hostility and disgust behind his agony and fears.

However, just like before, Simu is unable to finished off his words, Mary mercilessly beheaded him without a single word. Of course, one thing about Vampires, especially high ranking ones, simply beheading them wouldn't kill them. But it will make them defenceless for some time.

And not to mention, it also enough to shut its goddamned mouth as well, or least that is what Theodosis and the rest of the surrounding Dark Knights, and even hooded teenager, all thought, when she beheaded him along with his limbs, before she cast a spell to delay his healing abilities by many folds.

Silence full the ruins of this factory, or whatever it was, before the former Vampire Lord, and Theodosis destroyed the place.

And the first one to spoke was the Dark Commander himself.

"What now?" Even if Theodosis is the one in change here, due to being a Dark Commander, who has status that rival most of the Demons, since he is a leader for about a fifth of the current forces of the Dark Knight Order's Dark Knights.

It doesn't change, Mary Aveline is still someone of higher rank than himself.

"Since he and his men dared to spy on us, we will kill all the rats, besides this one. We need to know what he knows, and whose behind him. However, if I am right… this might be all because of his brother, the current Lord of Mondragon. He must be planning revenge or to rebel against him." Mary simply went with a uninterest tone, as she looked at Theodosis with indifference eyes.

"Brother? Wasn't he a traitor?" The asked this, wasn't the Dark Commander Theodosis, but someone else. And that someone else, was the hooded teenager who walked past Theodosis, and stood next to Mary, who put her hood back on, covering her head and face.

"Didn't I tell you before? Vampires and Devils are very similar in many areas. Especially when it comes to bloodlines and status. It not uncommon for Vampires or Devils to scheme against each other. But yet again, do we need to care if this waste is innocent or not? He dares to spy on us, meaning he is a threat to us, and our goals, that we so close to complete... That is why, once we find out all we need to know, it wouldn't be his limbs or head that will be removed next."

Mary went, as cold killing intent could be felt within her crimson red eyes when she looked at Simu Mondragon, who is laying armless, legless, as well headless on the ground. Only for a moment later for her two sinister looking long swords faded within the air.

As soon the twin swords disappeared from sight. Several of the Dark Knights went to Simu Mondragon, and when they did, the first thing these Dark Knights of First and Second-Class did, were to bring out a restraining device, only to use it on the former Vampire Lord. 

"Lucky for us, that boy left use with some devices that can captured people as strong as this follows here. Speaking about him… something I wonder, which one is the real monster? Our Boss? Or his Right Hand, who is capable of restraining Ultimate-Class beings…? "

Theodosis jokingly went, even if he actually somewhat serious when he said that.

Due to being a Dark Commander, who has personal armour and weaponry compared to the rest of the Dark Knights. He has met with Shiba Tatsuya several times. And because of that, he wondered whose the real monster between him or the Abyssal King.

It cannot be help, why Theodosis thought such a thing, after all, the human boy whose name is Shiba Tatsuya is capable creating weapons and other such things that should be impossible to create, and yet a mere human child is capable of coming up a way to create such things.

If that isn't a monster, what is?

One can say, if Gunnar Klinger is the monster that defies all common sense. Then Shiba Tatsuya is the monster that moves evolutionary forward by several tens of years ahead.

Mary didn't say anything when she heard Theodosis remark. Nor did she looked at him, when he ordered his men to carry the former Vampire Lord away. Instead she turned her attention to the sun in the sky.

Due to the barrier around the factory, was the reason why Simu and the other Vampires could move around without being affected by the sunlight. If not, the fight between the Dark Knights, and Simu's faction, will end a lot sooner.

After Theodosis left towards the other Dark Knights, along with the captured former Lord of the Mondragon Vampire Clan. He also ordered the rest of the Dark Knights to search for anything of importance around the base, leaving Mary, and the teenager girl alone in the middle of the ruins of this place.

Silence soon overlapped between the two hooded women, one mature, one still somewhat immature. But that silence didn't last forever, as the teenager herself was the one broke the silence first.

"You spacing out a lot more than normal teacher, was it something that Vampire say?" Went the young, hooded woman.

From the looks of her long coat, one could tell she is a woman around the age of 14 or 15 years old. And yet for someone of her age, her chest is quite ample. And yet again, compared to the likes of Toyomi, Rias or Akeno, who have abnormal chest sizes for their own age groups.

She only a level or two lower compared to them. But in the end, her breasts are fairly big, but not massive unlike those trios, or even Mary in this case, who are quite big.

Of course, what made this teenager stand out. Isn't her developing body, that brings a charm to her. No it will be two things that made this teenager stand out very much.

And one of them will be her sharp blue eyes, that could be seen under her hood, along with her long blue hair. Those eyes not only has a unique charm to them, while Mary has the eyes of indifference that increasing her charms and imposing aura. This girl's eyes are like those of a hunter, that always seems to be looking for a prey, making her sharp blue eyes very imposing, and yet charming.

And another thing that set her apart from everyone else. Will be the fact, while everyone is wearing black attires. This teenager is the only one is wearing white among the people from the Black Gate Faction.

As it is unknown why is this so, maybe the teenager likes the colour white, or maybe she is very bold, to wear such colours, that makes her stands out, or maybe it is both? No one knows.

(AN: Can anyone guess who she is? Unlike Mary and Theodosis, that both are OCs. This teenager isn't, however, also not from the canon of DxD, but a different anime. Guess who?)

"Sorry, I was… just reminded of the time we first met… the time, when he wasn't known as the Abyssal King, or when the Black Gate wasn't formed yet…" Mary went, as a gentle smile, unlike her indifferent self. Of course, this isn't the first time the hooded teenager seen such a smile, even if it is rare sight to see.

And only one person that is capable of making her smile like so. And that happened to increase her interest because of who that person is.

"You never told me how you two meet, teacher~" Went the girl with a grin and interest in her blue eyes.

"Perhaps another time…" Mary went with a faint smile, and behind her crimson red eyes, a sense of longing and desires could be felt, even if it was faint. Of course, this made the teenager more curious, but she didn't question further, nor did she got a chance to, when Mary spoke before her.

"Enough about that, what did you think of the battle between that thing, and the Dark Commander?" Mary asked with a soft smile, as she turned towards the teenager, who put her right hand under her chin to think.

"Marvelous if I have to put it in one word. The 2nd Commander is different compared to the 1st Commander, while one is a brute with a hammer with good intuition. The other one is a caster, as well as swordsman. When the commander was fighting, out of ten bouts, I only be able to tell around one or two.

But overtime, I was able to see their bouts clearer, now I think about it, I had heard that Commander Theodosis is a former Stray Devil, right? Isn't he too strong for a former Stray Devil? And oddly enough, I also heard the commander is close to the Abyssal King, right?"

Went the teenager, knowing full well about the strengths of Stray Devils.

Among the Dark Knights, it is common knowledge that many are them are Devils, or more like former Stray Devils themselves.

Even the teenager, who still isn't a member of the Dark Knights, but more like a student to a Demon, has overheard such things, when she spars, or chats among the Dark Knights, and other important members of the Black Gate.

"Theodosis Macrotis… truth to be told, I don't know, since it not my business to knew his past. However, it is true, that among the members of the Black Gate, that has seen the true face of the Abyssal King, Theodosis Macrotis is one of them, along with the 1st and the 3rd Dark Commanders as well, knew our lord's face.

Since you had already heard, yes most Dark Knights are former Stray Devils. Especially in the Second and the Third Battalions." Mary simply went, while the teenager with blue hair under her hood didn't say anything else.

She already knew most how the Dark Knights are recruited. 70% of the Dark Knights are former Stray Devils, those that has no place to turn to, or betrayed by the Devils who turned them into Reincarnated Devils.

Of course, that doesn't mean, the Black Gate Faction accepts every former Stray Devil. Because sometimes you do find genuine criminals who betrayed their master's for ill intentions. It is true the Devil Race isn't a good one, but there are those like the Gremory Clan, that do treat their servants like family, and those like the Sitri Clan that treats them with respect.

Because that, you cannot count each Stray Devil you went cross by, are in fact just victims from the abuse of the Pure-Blood Devils, but also criminals as well.

Because she knew such things, the teenager cannot stop herself from growing curious about the 2nd Dark Commander's past.

After all, for someone with has the ability of a High-Class Devil, its no wonders why she felt curious, why a High-Class Devil in terms of strength, ended up as a Stray Devil.

Author Notice

I just remembered, when I was reading this, so I could carry on with this fanfic (But got distracted).

At first, when I was reading the chapters on the original document. And while I was reading, I also was editing them at the same time. I think I redo the first chapter for the second time, and chapter 2~9 was also re-edited, or so I think… I knew I did re-edit some of the beginning chapters.

I just remembered this, so I will repost them later on (If I don't forget of course~), anyway that all.

-

Thanks for reading, and I hope you like the other nine chapters that yet to come. (I thought I did ten chapters, but it looks like 11 not 10.)

Sorry for the grammar, like life says, it is a bitch, so is grammar.
