Marvel DxD: The New Sorcerer Supreme

Chapter 18: Ch. 18 - Killing exorcists



(??? PoV)

That should be the last of them. I muttered to myself after a long and hard-fought battle against one of the Satanists, a bunch of Satan believers who seek to increase their ranks by spreading their filthy faith.

Seriously, how can these people dare to worship a bunch of devils instead of the glory and almighty Lord of Heaven?

"Hawktuah! These pesky Satanists are growing in numbers day by day, when will they cease to exist!" One of my colleagues, spat on one of the satanist's dead bodies, not hesitating to display his disgust towards them.

I also feel the same of course, just not to the point of utterly disregarding that these Satanists are humans too. They're just misguided and lost in their belief.

If I were the Chief Exorcist assigned to this mission, I might give them a chance to repent and direct their belief from the Satans to the Holy God.

Unfortunately, our Chief Exorcist has already deemed them unworthy to use God's creations and directly executed them all.

If it wasn't for an Angel backing us from Heaven, I might've complained as killing one another is supposed to be frowned upon according to the Holy Bible.

"Let's hurry up and bury the bodies." The Chief Exorcist gathered our attention and said, making us get to work by carrying each dead body to bury.

As for me, I cannot wait to go back home to Valencia and eat the food my mom makes, this mission took me months' worth of travel away from my home.

I miss my pastor, who guided me into this path of believing in the almighty savior, the Holy God.

I miss my mom who makes me the Potaje de Vigília that my mom makes me every time I go home from church. Despite being past 80 of age, she still moves like she's still an adult, cooking and baking pastries around the kitchen makes me think sometimes that she was blessed by an angel to not suffer the effects of old age.

Then there's my little sister, a cute bundle of positive emotions, filling our lovely home with her laughter and smile. Despite being married to a lovely man already and even having the honor to recognize their union, she's still the same little sister who would sometimes trip on her toes and can still flash a smi-.

Pucchhiii!

"Vincent, watch out!"

I heard my colleague call out my name as my thoughts were interrupted by the searing pain in my chest as if I was stabbed. But how? Why? I thought the fight was over?

No! I can't die, my mom, my sister, what about them? They will be sad if they hear the news that I'm gone, I need to...I need to reach out for my flask of Holy Water, it could heal my injuries!

Before I could grab the flask from my small pouch, I saw vision slowly darken, as if a pair of hands just covered my eyes, like it was Death's pair of hands.

Just as my vision fully darkens, I saw the sight of countless red skin creatures from the sky, decimating through our ranks, I could see the bloods and limbs flying out in the air.

So, we were attacked by devils, huh? I hope the Holy God forgives me and takes care of my mom and sister, it would be hard for them without me.

And with that, I see nothing anymore, pure darkness.

(Chamber PoV)

As soon as we step foot outside of the large-scale teleportation circle that transported us back on Earth, I couldn't help but feel the cold breeze of the wind as the moonlight shines upon our figures, their red skins glistening upon the moonlight.

I saw the commanding officer, Dimitre Sitri, unsheathed his long sword, the hilt's intricate design combined with the blade's sharp edge that seemed to cut the air itself, tells me that this sword is definitely some sort of artifact or at least high in quality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the sword is no doubt given to him for free, seeing how he handles it without care, swinging it around him, the tip of the long sword slashing on the dirt ground.

"Everyone! Those filthy exorcists who dared to hunt our brethen and believers shall perish under my sword! I must bring glory to the Sitri family and the Satans! Follow me and kill them all!" Raising his long sword, with a shout, Dimitre unfurled his wings and flew high up in the air.

The rest of the devils followed suit and unfurled their exact same wings, before taking into the air and followed Dimitre.

As for me, I was left cursing as I was hesitating whether to unfurl my wings, although I can just unfurl one pair instead of the usual two, the purple fade on it would bring unnecesarry attention.

Thankfully, I noticed that every devil was busy brandishing their weapons and shouting in excitement, making me so little for them to notice.

Okay, I just need to be discreet and make sure there are no devils from my behind, so I'll have to slow my pace. With that in mind, I finally unfurled my deep purple colored wings and flew up in the air, enjoying the strong wind current smashing on my face as I increased my speed to slowly catch up to their flock.

Upon my arrival, I was a few meters behind them, thankfully, they're too excited and bloodthirsty to notice my presence behind them, so I managed to sigh in relief.

Now that I'm alone and free, I started thinking my next moves as soon as we arrive at the settlement of the Exorcists.

First things first obviously is once we arrive, I would immediately land on the ground and take the fight on there. No way I'll fight in the air, that would just risk exposing my unique wings to them.

Second, I don't like killing, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially when I'm killing humans, whom I used to be. Although I'm a devil now and no longer a human, doesn't mean I'll abandon my humanity and completely become a devil. As long as I still have my human values, I'm only a devil physically but not mentally.

So perhaps, I might just use less destructive spells and resort on knocking them down instead of taking their lives.

What I said to Gideon back then is my honest opinion about this Great War nonsense and I'm sure God himself also sees the same thing.

My last move will be is to directy fight the strongest among the exorcists, that way, I'll be able to implement the pseudo Zenkai Boost that Serafall was talking about.

Upon our arrival, Dimitre didn't hesitate to cast a basic Demonic Bullet directly towards one of the exorcists. His target seemed to be a bit old, probably around 60 years of age, his eyes screams the unexpected arrival of the bullet in his chest along with the reluctance to part with his life.

I feel bad for the old man, he seemed like a kind person.

Still, there's no point dwelling over a dead exorcist, what's done is done and it's not like there's something I can do about it without risking gathering the anger of the devil soldiers around me.

I quickly landed on the ground whilst the others remained in the air, casting spells upon spells over the ranks of Exorcists.

Like me, some of them doesn't use a magic circle, probably because they haven't learned one yet while some can use the Sitri magic circle, especially Dimitre who's pretty much obvious considering he's part of the Sitri family.

The group of exorcists stood no chance against the barrage of spells except for a few.

Hold on. Is that a light saber?!

A certain man with a bulky build caught my attention? More specifically, the blade brimming with white light on his hand.

I must have it!

Ignoring the rest of the exorcist, I marched towards the man with a lightsaber, clearly holding his ground against the devils which can be seen when he was fending off the spells thrown at him with his lightsaber all while holding his ground against the devils diving towards him.

This guy…he's not normal.

True to my words, when I used my magical senses towards him, I was almost blinded by the light inside his body.

Is this, Holy Light? Or Holy Energy? What's more shocking is that the amount is almost equivalent to a High-Class devil but only as potent and thick as a Low-class devil.

What does it mean? He consumes more Holy Energy compared to a High-Class devil.

Let's say both a High-Class Devil and this Exorcist has a numerical value of 100 in terms of Energy.

When casting a simple spell, a High-Class devil only uses 10 points of Energy while this exorcist on the other hand will consume 50.

'I can beat him.' I said to myself, with such low potency and thickness, I can contend against this guy.

I also noticed that his Holy Energy is being directed towards the Lightsaber on his hand.

I smirked, seeing that he left his back exposed.

Casting a [Demonic Bullet] on top of my palm, I used my demonic energy to manipulate it, letting it rotate for almost 100 πrad each second, which is equivalent of fifty times of 360's in a matter of second.

Just when the man finally noticed my presence from behind, it was already too late as the [Demonic Bullet] already whizzed past my palm and has penetrated into his shoulder, piercing through them.

I watched as the bullet continued penetrating its way through more Exorcists before decreasing in size and fading away due to the lack of Demonic Energy.

The Exorcist's eyes widened in surprise and fear as he looked at me, clearly not expecting to be sneaked attacked.

Of course, I coud've aimed for his head and be done with it but what about the pseudo Zenkai Boost? I need to fight this man either with fists or kicks, it doesn't matter.

"You…" He pointed his finger at me, before anger clouded his face as he slashed his lightsaber towards me.

"Go back to where you came from, you filthy devil!" And there came down the lightsaber towards my face.

His movement were clearly above than an average human but slow compared to me.

So I stepped on the side and allowed the lightsaber to hum past me, grinning as I could feel the heat lick my skin.

Oh yes, I'll definitely enjoy this weapon.

Still, putting aside the weapon, I frowned. This can't do. This man won't be able to make me push beyond my limits and allow me to experience a life-and-death situation.

I need to be overwhelmed.

Immediately, my eyes scanned around the battlefield and an idea was immediately formed inside my mind.

I gotta attract everyone's attention and make them fight me.

While still deep in thinking, my body automatically punched the Exorcist's gut, the moment he tried to take advantage of me being distracted.

"Chief!" Much to my surprise, a few exorcists noticed our fight and immediately called out of concern.

Wait, Chief? So this guy is their leader?

How convenient!

Grinning to myself, I launched another punch towards the Chief Exorcist's face.

Bam!

I grinned as more exorcist started rushing towards our fight, probably to intercept and help their leader.

Well, go on. Overwhelm me with your numbers!

For some unknown reason, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster, I could hear it beating through my ears. I could also feel sweat forming on some parts of my body.

It seems as if I've entered some sort of state.

Is this excitement? It seems to be.

It doesn't matter, just go on and fight me, all of you!
