Chapter 159 - Dragon Slayer

Name:Life In DXD Author:kaustubhdverma
Tatsuya and the others went inside the Shrine and sat down with Isami and Michael sitting in front of each other while the other three were sitting a bit away from them with Tatsuya sitting in between Akeno and Gabriel.

Isami who saw the serious expression on Michael's face was a bit tensed and seeing that Tatsuya said, "You don't have to be so tensed Isami, Michael is a good guy."

Hearing that Isami looked at Tatsuya and after seeing the smile on his face she released a tired sigh.

Michael then gave a fake cough to gain Isami's attention and said, "Isami Hyuodou, the current red dragon empress we from the heaven faction wish for you to accept this 'small' gift from us and hope to form a good relation relation between us and we can be allies, even though we are both from different factions and races."

And suddenly an European sword with four golden dragon claws as a hilt appeared out of nowhere and hovered in the middle of the room.

Michael then said, "This here is the holy sword Ascalon, a dragon slayer. We wish for you to wield it Red dragon empress."

Seeing the sword and feeling the aura it was emitting Isami gulped her Saliva and asked, "Can I really wield it, it is both holy and dragon slaying in nature, it can be said that this sword is my natural enemy."

Just as she said that Ddraig's gauntlet materialised on her arm and the jewel started glowing, "As long as the sacred gear's host has a proper will towards something, then nothing is impossible. Just grab the sword and focus your aura at it."

Isami nodded and held the hilt of the sword and felt small jolts of current pass through her body. She then narrowed her eyes and thought, 'I can do this, no I have to do this, an opportunity to gain power like this is hard to come by, and I am not going to let it go I have to get stronger, strong enough to stand by the others in Tatsuya's group. Even though I know that they will never abandon me, I still can let the things go as they are, I have to catch up to them.'

Suddenly the sword started to glow brighter and brighter and started releasing it's draconic aura making Michael, Gabriel and Akeno widen their eyes in surprise while a small grin appeared on Tatsuya's face.

The sword's shape started to change as well and it started to get longer while the hilt and handle of the sword started shrinking.

The light intensified once again and slowly the light started changing its colour to red and once it did it started to get dimmer till it finally died down.

When the light died down, it revealed the gauntlet to be attached to the blade of the sword but the thing that was different was instead of the sword having a silver and purple bade, it was red and purple seeing which Tatsuya raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly the gem on the gauntlet started glowing brighter and brighter.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

But just as the gem did that Isami started screaming in pain. Seeing that Tatsuya immediately stood from his spot and rushed towards her. He tried to grab her shoulder but felt a bit of resistance in approaching her.

Tatsuya immediately started releasing a bit of his aura and glared at Michael, "Michael what is the meaning of this, why is she suffering from pain."

On feeling the sudden pressure and Killing intent all the people in the room except for Isami started sweating heavily and had problem in breathing. Michael looked towards Tatsuya in horror and said, "I don't know what is happening, I swear that we didn't do anything."

Tatsuya narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what explaination do you have for this."

Michael was at a loss of words and didn't know what to say but suddenly Ddraig said, "It is not that angel's fault."

Hearing that Tatsuya stopped releasing his killing intent towards the other the people in the room and focused it at the gauntlet and said, "Spit up whatever you know."

Ddraig who was inside the sacred gear was immediately terrorised by the amount of killing intent that Tatsuya was releasing and said, "S-she wanted to grow stronger and her will was focused on that goal while she was merging the sword with me.....this is because of that."

Tatsuya narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me the truth, is her in danger?"

Hearing the question the Ddraig said, "As long as she doesn't loose her will than she is not in danger, but...."

Hearing that Tatsuya immediately dispelled the barrier which was causing a resistance to him before and just as he did a huge burst of energy escaped from her body and pushed the others a bit.

Feeling the energy that just came from the burst the seraph's and Tatsuya's eyes immediately widened and all of them thought, 'It is the dragon slaying energy.'

Tatsuya immediately hugged her body and started taking the extra energy to pass through his body to reduce her pain a bit.

Feeling the someone hugging her body Isami opened her eyes a bit while she was still screaming and saw Tatsuya hugging her while bullets of sweat were formed on his forehead and had a pained expression on his face. She immediately widened her eyes and said, "You, what are you doing? Get away, you are hurting yourself."

Tatsuya who heard her voice felt a bit relief and looked at her and said, "If you have the energy and focus to reprimand me then focus on what you are doing. I am not leaving you till you are done."

Isami looked at Tatsuya with a glare and said, "ARE YOU AN IDIOT, JUST GO AWAY!!!"

Tatsuya who heard that felt a bit irritated moved his head away a bit and then with all the momentum he could gather headbutted her and said, "YOU ARE THE IDIOT HERE!!! WHO TOLD YOU, A DEMONIC DRAGON TO TRY TO TAKE IN THE POWERS OF A DRAGON SLAYER, A HOLY ONE AT THAT!!!!"

Isami who recieved the headbutt felt a lot of pain and said, "FUUUUUCCCKKKKK!!!!! THAT HURTS YOU IDIOT!!!! OS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR LOVER!!!!"

Tatsuya headbutted her once again and said, "NO THIS IS HOW I TREAT IDIOTS!!!! AND CURRENTLY YOU ARE BEING ONE!!!! JUST GET THIS OVER WITH FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!"

Just as he said that both Akeno and Isami felt a headache and Isami said, "YOU F.U.C.KER!!!! DON'T SAY THAT WORD IN FRONT OF A DEVIL!!!!"

Hearing that Tatsuya said, "JUST GET THIS OVER WITH FOR F.U.C.KS SAKE!!!!" and started to channel more energy through his body which started to cause intense pain to Tatsuya.

'Shit, this is the first time that I am suffering from this amount of pain, seriously, how strong is her resolve. I am glad that I didn't choose to be a dragon or devil at the time of reincarntion.'

Feeling that he was getting hurt by the energy he was channeling he activated his healing magic and regeneration to the max and immediately he started to feel a relaxed, he even tried to send the healing magic to Isami's body but in the current state her body was rejecting it, and he didn't want to find out what forceful sending it could do.

Isami who felt her pain being lessened because of Tatsuya absorbing more amount of energy looked towards Tatsuya and said, "By the way, will you listen to my one request if this get over without any problems?"

Tatsuya looked at her and said, "I will so just finish this."

Hearing that Isami's eyes widened and suddenly huge amount of energy started to come out of her which shocked all of them present in the room including Tatsuya.

Isami started to absorb and channel more energy through her body and shouted, "HELL YEAH, WE ARE GOING TO F.U.C.K THE WHOLE NIGHT, BABY!!!! UWAAAAAA!" She said that and have a battle cry.

All of them except Gabriel looked at her with a weird expression on their faces even Ddraig was doing the same and Tatsuya said, "THAT'S THE SOURCE OF YOUR MOTIVATION!!!!!" but Isami ignored him and kept on giving a battle cry.

The Gem on the Gauntlet then said, "Even though it is weird, I am still impressed by her motivation"

Isami then said, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK IF BEING WEIRD CAN HELP ME REACH MY GOALS THEN F.U.C.K EVERYTHING I AM WEIRD!!!!!"

The Gauntlet light started to intensify more and the seraphs and Akeno closed their eyes.

"DRAGON SLAYER ELEMENT!!!! POWER IS TAKEN!!!!!"

After Ddraig notified the light started to die down and the excess aura started to get back inside the sword.

Tatsuya then stopped hugging Isami and held her shoulder and started shaking her and said, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? DO YOU EVEN NO WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU!!!!"

But then he noticed that Isami was starting to lose consciousness and stopped shaking her. Isami then started to pass out and with a smile on her face said, "I did it." and closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Tatsuya sighed and placed her head on his lap and started stroking her head.

"Seriously, she is a huge idiot."

He then looked at the Gauntlet and said, "Now Ddraig tell me what the hell just happened?"

The Gauntlet started blinking and Ddraig said, "Her will to become strong and stand beside your group in the future was so strong that while she was merging the sacred gear and the sword she unconciously triggered something inside her body and started absorbing the dragon slayer element from the sword."

Hearing that Tatsuya started massaging his temples and said, "What am I going to do with her, So what all did she gained."

The Gem once again blinked and Ddraig said, "She gained the ability to use dragon slayer magic of her element which in her case is fire."

Tatsuya nodded his head but then Michael interrupted them and said, "Then does that mean that Ascalon I'd just a simple holy sword now?"

Tatsuya looked at Michael and said, "Sorry for threatening you earlier." and bowed his head.

Michael waved his hands and said, You don't need to apologise, I would have done something similar if someone close to me would have happened to go through something similar."

Tatsuya nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for understanding. Now Ddraig speak."

The Gem started glowing and Ddraig said, "No, only some part of the dragon slayer element was absorbed by her and in return the sword got some of my power, it is much more durable now."

Michael nodded and said, "Thank god, I don't know what the others in the heaven would have done if they knew that someone messed with Ascalon like that."

He then looked at Tatsuya and said, "Well then my work here is done. I shall go back now."

Tatsuya silently placed Isami's head on a pillow and then stood up and said, "Bye then, it was nice meeting you after a long time." and moved his hand forward.

Michael grabbed Tatsuya's hand and shook it and said, "It was a pleasure." He then turned around and said, "Gabriel, let's go."

Gabriel looked at Tatsuya and said, "Bye Tatsuya, don't forget the promise, We will go together after the meeting."

Tatsuya nodded and said, "Yeah, we will."

Gabriel smiled and then stood beside Michael and teleported away with a magic circle.
