Chapter 41 - Tatsuya v/s Vali

Name:Life In DXD Author:kaustubhdverma
Seeing his coldness everyone was shocked (except Ophis), even Kuroka was vey surprised on seeing the cold and angry look on Tatsuya's face.

All the members of the Vali team came out of shock and took their stance. Though they all were a bit scared but they still resolved themselves to fight him.

Noticing them taking their stance Tatsuya turned in their direction and said, "I don't think that it is necessary and in my opinion you guys should lower you weapons before my hand 'slips' by mistake. That would not be very pleasurable..... for you at least."

All of them gulped simultaneously but got serious and were about to attack him, but suddenly they all heard, "Don't interfere it's my fight."

Vali came out of the rubble completely covered in dust and some visible injuries.

Seeing him come out Tatsuya whistled and said, "you survived that huh, you are tougher than I thought."

Hearing him Vali snorted and his sacred gear appeared on his back and he started rushing in Tatsuya's direction. He approached him quicky and punched his face.

Dust covered the scene from all the wind generated by the wind created by Vali flying towards at inhuman speed.

All the members of the Vali team(except Kuroka) grinned but as the dust cleared all of them widened their eyes and everyone including Vali was shocked.

Tatsuya was just standing at his position holding Vali's fist with his hand without taking any damage at all. He grinned and said, "You pack quite a punch don't you?" He then started crushing his fist making Vali groan in pain and said, "But that's still not enough." Tatsuya's hand then started glowing and then Vali was suddenly covered in a ki sphere and Tatsuya launched him away.

After sent flying in the air the orb exploded making his teammates look at Vali in worry.

Tatsuya didn't stopped there and formed a large ki orb and fired it in Vali's direction.

Just as the orb was about to hit Vali a cut in the space in front of him appeared and the orb went through it, after a while there was an explosion seen at some distance making Vali and Tatsuya looked in that direction.

"Vali, you ok?" Bikou asked his friend making him turn and look at him. Tatsuya also looked at them and saw Arthur holding a sword in his hand which was glowing and was emitting a holy aura.

Vali also saw that and became angry and shouted, "DON'T INTERFERE IT'S MY FIGHT!!" "B- But-" "I SAID DON'T INTERFERE!!!"

Seeing that they looked conflicted in approving his order. Tatsuya saw that and said, "Don't worry I will not kill him, I will just make him understand that he should not anger someone who is out of his league." Hearing him they all sighed in relief.

Tatsuya then looked at Arthur and said, "By the way nice sword you got there." Arthur lifted up his sword and said, "Thank you, this here is a fragment of the holy sword Excalibur- Excalibur ruler, comes with the power of manipulating space."

Tatsuya looked amused and said, "Heh~thats's a very handy sword. I guess I should get one as well. TRACE ON!!!"

Tatsuya scanned the sword and then a second later a similar copy of the sword was in his hand.

Seeing that all of them were very shocked. Arthur was looking between the sword in his hand and the sword in Tatsuya's. He was very confused and thinking whether the sword in his hand was real or not.

Tatsuya gave the sword a few practice swings and then said, "Vali ready or not but here I come." He then started storing magic energy in the sword and then waved it in Vali's direction. A huge wave of holy energy was sent in his direction.

Seeing the wave coming in his direction vali too didn't stood still and used his sacred gear.

"DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE."

was clearly heard by everyone.

His wings started glowing and Vali said, "looks like I have to get serious if I want to defeat you." Then his and Albion's voices combined and shouted, "VANISHING DRAGON: BALANCE BREAKER." and then Vali was covered in a white dragonic armour with huge blue translucent wings.

While this was all going on Tatsuya was looking at the sword in his hand and thought, 'Not very impressive, looks like I expected too much from just a fragment.' He then looked at the armour cladded Vali and smirked and said while putting the sword away, "Woah you armour looks very cool."

Vali smirked inside his helmet and said, "Behold the power of a Longinus, a sacred gear with the power of killing even gods and now you will face you doom with that same power."

While Vali was doing his chuuni stuff, Tatsuya silently activated his 'TRACE ON'.

When Vali finished his speech Tatsuya looked at him and said, "Hearing your talk so high and mighty about your armour i guess it really packs some serious punch."

Vali smirked and then said, "of course, you should not expect anything less from a Longinus class sacred gear."

Tatsuya smirked as well and then said, "Then how about this VANISHING DRAGON: BALANCE BREAKER" and Tatsuya too was covered in an armour similar to that of Vali.

While Tatsuya was checking out the armour the others were looking at him in shock except for Ophis who only got a bit surprised but shrugged it off her mind soon. Vali's mouth was open wide inside his armour and he was shocked beyond comprehension. Soon he came out of his shock and then asked Albion, "Albion is his armour a real deal or it's just similar to yours only in appearance."

Albion remained silent for a while and then said, "I don't know partner." Vali widened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by you don't know." Hearing his partner's question Albion sighed and said, "I mean I cannot feel a presence similar to me in his armour but at the same time his armour feels like it is the same. I don't know how to clarify it." Vali looked serious for a while and then grinned and said, "If you don't know then there is only one way to find out." He said the and started flying towards Tatsuya but just as he flew for a bit he was punched in the gut and he heard, "not so fast" and was then one again thrown away.

Tatsuya who had familiarised himself with the armour saw Vali coming in his direction and then immediately teleported towards him and punched him in the gut. He then looked at his hand and then opened and closed his fist and said to himself, "This one is pretty good and it still have the potential to grow further, I guess I could use it a bit in future."

Vali maintained his balance after a distance and then his wings glowed and said, "DIVIDE". Suddenly Tatsuya's body glowed. Tat felt some drain in his magic power and looked at Vali and said, "So you want to play it that way huh."

He then formed numerous orbs of magic and fired it in Vali's direction. Seeing the numerous magical orbs coming towards him he smirked and said, "Thanks for the feast."

"DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE."

and the orbs started to get smaller and smaller till the time there was none of them left.

He then looked in front but could not locate Tatsuya. Suddenly he heard, "You should never lose the sight of your enemies during you battle." He then looked up and saw Tatsuya with a huge blue orb in his hand.

Tatsuya quickly approached him and smashed the orb on Vali and shouted, "MASSIVE RASENGAN!!" and Vali was sent down along with the orb which hit him. He tried to use his sacred gear to absorb the power and minimize the damage but was unable to. He got shocked and asked Albion, "Albion why can't I absorb the power of this attack." Albion was also shocked and said, "Partner I am not familiar with the energy he used in his attack that's why I cannot divide this."

Tatsuya who heard then smirked and s

thought, 'Of course you don't know, chakra is not originally an energy used in this world. Even the Youkai only use senjutsu and not chakra. You must have never come across such an energy ever in your life.'

Unable to absorb the energy Vali got smashed into the ground along with the rasengan which made a huge crater in the ground and then the rasengan exploded making a dust cloud over the crater.

Once the dust cloud started to fade away a heavily injured Vali with most of his armour gone was visible to everyone."

Tatsuya deactivated his armour and said, "I have to say it I am impressed. You took so many hits from me and you still have enough strength left to still remain standing. Hats of to you man."

Vali looked at Tatsuya and glared at him and said, "Shut up it's still not over I will keep on fighting till I collapse." and again activated his armour.

Tatsuya sighed and said, "As you wish, but be prepared as this one will sting you a lot Mr. demonic dragon."

Tatsuya then started inhaling a large amount of air in his lungs and after his lungs were full a white glow appeared in his mouth.

Vali was watching all this but then suddenly Albion said, "Vali I have a bad feeling about this, give up while you still can." Vali snorted and said, "I, Vali Lucifer never back down from a fight. And a fight like this, there is no chance that I am giving up." Hearing him Albion sighed and then said, "Then brace yourself partner."

Tatsuya didn't paid attention to their talks and then shouted, "HOLY... DRAGON...ROAR!!!" and a huge stream of dragon slaying holy magic was fired at Vali.

Seeing the sheer size of the 'ROAR' Vali knew that he couldn't dodge and fired a beam of his own but that was destroyed instantly and Vali was hit by the full force of the 'ROAR' and was completely engulfed in it.

Once the effect of the 'ROAR' was over Tatsuya descended from the sky and landed beside a collapsed Vali and said while looking at him, "I guess I did a little too much." and gave a tired sigh.
