28. (Updated)

still on 3rd person POV

A week has passed since the incident. Vergil gave Masaomi and Cleria who just woke up, a room in their estate, and since they don't want to owe Vergil a favor, he hired Masaomi as Francis' right hand man and a bodyguard, while Cleria will be acting as a helper when he is building his machinery in exchange of protection.

They seem skeptical about it but had no choice but to accept as they can run but they will always be hunted. Vergil asked them about why they were being hunted and said that its because they are having forbidden relationship, but when he looked at Cleria, she can't help but feel nervous as she can feel that there was not all to Vergil's question.

"It doesn't matter if you tell me or not, suit yourself. Also a word of advice, do tell anyone you trust about your situation, if they force you to return, its up to you whether you go or stay here. Let me know who the person you'll be contacting and I'll take you there." 'I have gained the rewards after all.' Vergil thought as he have no more obligations to take them in.

They both nodded and he started heading back to the MIT with a portal to continue with tinkering his custom bike.

As for Azazel, he learned that Vergil bought a house with his money and was confused why he did that, Vali was also confused. To which Vergil reasoned out that his training experiments will be more dangerous and may destroy the property itself. Azazel reluctantly nodded as watching a 10 year old kid, live by himself is weird, he thought that the people living in the estate were hired workers.

Meanwhile, Vali achieved balanced breaker due to the guidance of Azazel. He is also keeping the fact that he can use juggernaut drive, though it was incomplete. Azazel then called out Vergil to fight with Vali in the basement to see the growth of the two.

Vali then started attacking Vergil while Vergil casually blocks and deflects his attacks, Vali is just swinging his arms, too many wasted movements, lack of momentum causing no power in his punches. Vergil soon got bored of it as it was not a fight but a one-sided match.

He soon guided Vali with every attacks he made while fighting, he then gave him advice on how to throw a proper punch, how to utilize the body, how to transition from punch to kick and catching the enemy off guard. Vali being a talented battle junkie, has been intaking Vergil's advice like a sponge and started attacking like a madman, but seeing Vergil casually deflecting his attacks pissed him off.

"Balance Break!" Vali said and a pair of glass wings appeared following Vali's words.

'Balance Breaker: Vanishing Dragon' the glass wings said

Vali then was covered in white armor which reminded Vergil of a certain knightmare frame, he so used to watch.

"Now, Albion let's finish this." Vali said while Vergil waits for him patiently.

Vali sent a punch which was blocked by Vergil, the gauntlet then divided some of Vergils stats and added it to himself. What shocked Vali was, he only divided Vergil's power and so much is already leaking through his wings.

He was even more shocked as Vergil had an amused gaze looking at the armor he wears.

"Hm? You divided and absorbed my power and added it to your owner huh? Meanwhile after reaching the limit of absorbing, you disperse it through your wings. Fascinating indeed." Vergil said as he didn't mind having half of his powers absorbed. He has massive amounts of it.

After getting out of the shock, Vali continued sending a barrage of punches while constantly dividing his power draining Vergil till his magic power tank is depleted.

"Surrender now, you're out of gas anymore, you can't fight me now." Vali said sounding cocky and arrogant but Vergil just had a smile on his face, he still intends on playing with Vali.

"Hm? Why don't you try and attack me?" Vergil provoked and Vali rushed in intending to finish the fight.

Vergil's hands get into position as his hands flowed like a water. He slowly spoke as Vali headed towards him.

"Ryusui Gansai-ken"(it is the fist of flowing water,crushing rock. Its too long so I'll be using the raw one.)

Vergil pushed Vali's arms with his backhand and followed it by a palm strike in his arms, he then assaulted Vali with a combination of kicks and punches. He didn't use any power to coat his fist, he only used his physical body to deal with Vali's armor.

After a round of barrage, Vali's armor is now cracked in the arms and shoulder. Vergil being done checking on where Vali's peak stands now, he sent a palm strike to his solar plexus sending Vali crashing to a wall. Even Azazel who is watching all of it was surprised of Vergil's growth, to even defeat a longinus user in its balance breaker form.

"We're done now right?" Vergil looked at the cctv issuing the end of the match but Vali had other thoughts.

"Not yet. Its not over yet, I can't kill that b*stard if this is all I have. I will have to risk it by winning this fight." He said and the glass wings warned him.

'Vali, its too reckless, using that form in its incomplete state will take your life force as payment.' Albion said but Vali didn't care, he wanted the power to beat the sh*t out of his grandfather.

"Not yet, its not done yet." Vali said while the air around him is gathering, with him at the center.

Vali then spoke out something like a chant or a song to unleash the forbidden art of the Divine Dividing.

I, who am about to awaken,

Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God

I envy the "infinite" and I pursue the "dream"

I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy

And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise

After chanting, Vali's body was covered in white light as Albion slowly spoke out two words.

"Juggernaut Drive"
