Chapter 74 – Against Kokabiel (Part 1)

Chapter 74 – Against Kokabiel (Part 1)

I looked up at the reddish sky, where Kokabiel's overwhelming presence loomed over me like the shadow of fate itself. He was an imposing figure, with ten black wings stretching from his back like a cloak of death, and the power emanating from him was suffocating with an almost palpable pressure that made the surrounding air vibrate.

Raynare, who until a few moments ago had considered herself invincible, had been reduced to dust before my eyes by a simple gesture from her superior. Now, Kokabiel's gaze was fixed on me, and even with my Scale Mail activated, I felt a shiver run down my spine.

Kokabiel was not like the other enemies I had faced. This creature was undoubtedly far more powerful than anything I had ever faced, including my personal challenge of killing a Phenex.

Fear began to creep into my mind, a visceral sensation that tried to overwhelm me, forcing me to reconsider every move, every decision.

'What am I doing? This power is far beyond my reach...'

{Fear not, Leo. He may be strong, but remember, you carry my power, the power of the Red Dragon Emperor. There is nothing to fear.} Ddraig said, calming my fears.

I closed my fists inside the armor and felt the boosted gear and the power it gave me. Ddraig was right. This was no time to hesitate. Kokabiel might be powerful, but I had a plan. And most importantly, I wasn't alone.

'You're right, Ddraig. We must move forward.'

There was no more room for doubt or fear. There was only one way forward, and I was ready to take it, regardless of the risks.

With a slight nod, I released the scale mail. The armor shattered into energy particles that vanished into thin air.

The absence of the armor made me feel exposed, vulnerable, but, at the same time, it gave me a strange feeling of freedom. It was necessary for the next step.

Kokabiel raised an eyebrow and his sharp eyes immediately noticed the change in my posture.

It was then that I began to walk towards Excalibur, which was lying on the ground.

The holy sword was still there, embedded in the grass, emitting a golden aura that seemed to vibrate irregularly. There was something about it, a pulsating energy that seemed to echo Raynare's suffering, as if the blade had been contaminated by the essence of its former bearer. It looked like a cursed sword that had rejected its bearer when she was unworthy of its power.

"Do you trust me?" I asked.

Rias didn't hesitate for a moment and answered with a slight nod: "Yes, we do."

Akeno also nodded in agreement.

"Then let me take care of it." I continued, looking back at Kokabiel, who now seemed to be enjoying herself. "I know what I'm doing."

Kokabiel let out a deep laugh. "This is hilarious! A low-class demon with a holy sword trying to take on one of heaven's greatest generals. Do you really think you can beat me, boy? It doesn't matter if you have Boosted Gear or not! I'll take it for myself after I kill you!!!"
