Chapter 21: Armaros

I can't believe my luck to think one of my targets would just show up right in front of me.

We are pretty much on the same level. Low-Ultimate Class just by the amount of Holy and Demonic Energy we both have respectively.

Now I could just go into balance breaker and rip him apart.

But those with more than 1 Concept. It requires me to enter Balance Breaker.

For example the Zanpakuto swords. They are at least 2 concepts at the minimum. Like Zangetsu for example. The Ability to shoot out your own power in flying slashes. And the Boost that Shikai and Bankai give out. The Boost naturally drains a lot of power and stamina. But I managed to recreate it since it already exists.

Finding a priest with a Twice Critical was useful. It Doubles the users power.

Shikai gives a small boost in power. From 2 to 3 times. Bankai multiplier 5-10x Shikai

Bleach Zanpakuto are weird. Some boost Physical Strength and Reatsu. Others boost the ability of the Zanpakuto.

Ichigo and Byakuya for example.

But this is a good opportunity to test my strength against an opponent on the same level.

I'll just stick to Tier 1 Swords. Basic Sword Birth creations along with a few special ones even in Tier 1 selection. Actually, I have the perfect weapons in mind.

Gravity Blade.(UQ Holder) A sword that can manipulate its own weight. It was actually one of the first swords I created. It's an excellent sword for training.

I will use it along with its Zanpactou Cousin. 

As an Angel Directly under the 'Holy Flame' Uriel.

Armaros was well-versed in combat. He could make many Holy Weapons and used Holy Fire. But his holy fire was a bit weak. Uriel might have taught them. But they could never reach his level.

Uriel was given Holy Fire just as Barakiel was given Holy Lighting. Only people from their bloodline can use the powers to their full potential. Anything other than that is a cheap imitation.

"So what is one of the Commanders serving directly under Uriel doing in a dump like this? Did you get your ass demoted or something?" I say in a mocking tone. Let's see If he can be riled up

Armaros just smiles "Hardly. I really was in the area. But enough about that little Devil. It's time for you to receive Holy Judgement. Repent in Purgatory." He spread his wings. 4 pairs or 8 wings. Showing his status as an Ultimate Class. 

(Has never been confirmed where Devils and fallen go when they die)

"Repent in Purgatory? Someone sure is confident in himself" I mock him as I start creating my sword.

"But of course. How could an Agent of God like me die to the scum of the earth like you? A being who thrives by committing sin." Armaros says calmly. 

.. Well, he is not wrong about the last part.

He flapped his wings appearing near me. He had a yellow-golden aura around him. And a light spear in both hands.

I released my power as well. Touki and Demonic Energy covered me. Increasing my overall strength, speed and defense. 

My sword was set to the lowest possible weight which is 2 kg and quickly use to parry one of his swords. Just before the moment of impact, I change the weight of the sword to x1000. That's 2 tons. And I used it to press down on his spear

BANG 

The weight of the sword pushed his spear down along with his arm since he had a strong grip on it. This put him off balance. 

"WHAT!" 

He couldn't even use his other spear because of the weir position he was in

I quickly changed the sword back to normal before raising it above my head and changing the weight again x10 000. 20 tones. And I swung down. The weight of the sword increased its speed as well, but it only worked for vertical attacks

Armaros eyes widened when he saw how fast the blade was approaching. He quickly threw his swords away and jumped back, he even gathered Holy Energy on his plans to blast himself backward.

But I wasn't about to let him leave unharmed. Since his torso was out of the way I moved my sword and aimed at his forearm. My blade cut him but it wasn't even halfway through. I barely reached the bone. 

"Your sword. It's capable of changing its weight" Armarous says as he put his hand on his forearm. He started healing his wound with Holy Light.

That's a bit annoying.

"Correct" Maybe I should start using some subtle tricks. One mistake is enough to kill somebody in fights of our Level. 

Armarous healed his arm and created another spear. But this time he threw it. 

Tsk. So he is changing to long range. I wave my hand and magic circles started appearing with my Crest on them. It was a classic European Sword with Wings on it. The Sword of Freedom. It's a crest that I personally created with my understanding of magic. It's not very efficient yet. Clans have been improving theirs for generations. 

But I'll slowly improve the efficiency. It will work for now. 

 I started throwing elemental spells at him. He dodged and sent a volley of Light Spears at me.

Damn it I was hoping to use the Gravity Blade on him. But looks like I'm going to have to scratch that plan. Okay then. The mean older cousin it is.

I raise the Gravity Blade upwards. Time to wake up buddy. This is only possible because they share a similar Concept. I did this because in high-level battles they won't allow me to make another sword. I could have made a new one here. But its better to test these things out first.

Raise Your Head.

Wabisuke.

(not a balance breaker. only 1 concept)

The Gravity Blade started to change. The tip starts to grow. Wabisuke's blade makes two 90-degree angles, forming three sides of a square, reminiscent of a hook and has its cutting edge on the inside of the angles

Wabisuke doubles the weight of any object it strikes. The ability can affect both inanimate objects and living beings, and it's stackable. 

"What do you plan to cut with such a silly sword? It's cutting edge is on the inside." he mocks me from a distance

"You will see." We continued our long-range fight while I was looking for an opportunity to close the distance.

I slowly prepared an earth spike and have been guiding him in that position. So i can sneak attack him from behind

3. 2 .1 .NOW!

The earth spike rose from behind grabbing his attention. He raised a wing to block it.

As he was distracted for a split second I Enhanced my strength using Touki and Mana and jumped at him. Cracking the ground behind me.

I avoided hitting his Light Swords. I don't think they weigh anything. So hitting them is probably useless. I used the hook and put his elbow in it. I cut him 4 times by shaking the sword. Piercing him with the inverted blade. 

He then quickly pushed me off. While lifting his arm up and down, trying to get rid of the discomfort. 

A regular human arm weighs about 5-6 kg. My every strike doubles the previous weight.  So 6 times 2 is 12. Double it again 24. In total his arm now weighs 96kg. 

Now a 100kg is nothing to us to lift. But we are in battle. He won't be able to use his arm as well and it will keep throwing him off balance. 

"What have you done to me?!" Armarous yells out in a cold tone. But he was still calm. Guess it isn't that easy to make them fall from Wrath. 

" I increased the weight of your arm. How does it feel to carry an extra 100kg. It's uncomfortable right?" As I say that I dash toward him. Not giving him any time to make countermeasures

He kept blocking my strikes with his Light Spears. As I suspected Wabisuke has no effect on them. But thanks to his arm and me constantly trying to put him off balance I was able to make small hits. 

Each hit doubled the weight on that body part. I hit him a few times on the wings and once on the torso. The weight started to add up and he started to slow down. 

I kept abusing magic as well. Puting him in an even worse spot. 

"Fight like a man" He yelled out at me.

Yeah right. Like I'm going to fall for that

I kept fighting and started to focus more on his wings. 

He stumbled because his left side was suddenly a lot heavier and I took that opportunity. 

I slashed at his wings multiple times. His wings now weighing a few tones dragged his body down making him kneel. I quickly used magic to pin him in place, and stop anything else he might do.

He started trashing a round. trying to escape

"Do you know why this blade is called Wabisuke? Because when I'm done. My opponent will be kneeling down on the ground, like you right now. Hence Wabisuke( To apologize/repent). Looks like you are doing the repenting."

"UGHHHH" Armaros tried to stand up. But his wings were weighing him down too much.

"Earlier. You asked what can I cut with such a silly sword?" I put the hook end of the blade on his neck.

"Wait-" 

"A warrior should never beg for his life" I pull back. And like a reverse guillotine, he was beheaded. 

Hmmm.  I wonder. 

If Holy Eraser was meant to well 'erase' holy light. I wonder If I could weak it to absorb it. That way I don't have to go and steal Holy Element from Churches

Let's try it.

'Sword Birth'

A blade started to form. 

The entire sword was almost pitch black. There was a Golden Script along the blade's spine. On the Guard, there were two protruding fangs. They also had golden decorations.

(  )

I grab the sword and stab the decapitated corpse in the chest. The Golden Script lit up as the sword started to absorb the remaining Holy Energy left. In a few minutes. The body was entirely drained. 

I could feel the energy coursing through me. Usually, when devils are exposed to Holy Energy it acts like poison to them. 

But since I originally had some Holy Energy inside me. And all the Crystals I used from that I found in the Curches I raided'. It doesn't do anything to me. Just like when Xenovia was turned into a devil. She could still wield Durandal and other Holy Swords.

... If I continue to take Holy Energy from Angels. Will I become a Niflheim? I don't think such a thing exists in this Universe. 

I look at the roughed-up terrain and the broken-down church

Since our battle left a lot of magical traces. I'll need to torch this entire place and not just the church. 

'Balance Breaker' 

Reduce all creation to ashes

Ryujin Jacka.

Originally this sword wouldn't be a Tier 2. Since it only has the Concept of Fire. This Zanpactou only has a Shikai. Just like many of my other swords. Making a BANKAI for this sword is HARD.

I'm sure I will complete it eventually. But that day is in the distant future. That's why it's a Tier 2 Sword. I'm constantly trying to evolve it. It has a Second and Third Concept. Which is Boost and Erase. But I'm not doing it right and the Bankai doesn't even form. I even change the Concept that I'm focusing on. Hoping to get it right. 

I'm still in the Alpha stage of the process. So the OP Bankai is left for the future.

I wave my sword and a large wave of fire engulfs everything around me. 

Time to go back home. I did enough for today. I bring out my Teleport Sword and disappear in a Flash.
