Chapter 28 - Canis Lycons Gets A New Master And Evolves.
When they got back to Grigori Azazel called them to his lab where they laid Tobio on the couch. Azazel looked the boy over and nodded. "Yup. No doubt about it. He has a sacred gear and as for which one I don't know. Esdeath, if you would." She nodded and snapped her finger. Tobio jumped up yelling. "SAE!" He looked around and when he saw Azazel he shook his head.
"I wasn't hallucinating?" Azazel nodded. "Yup. I am not an allusion or a dream. You saw me that day and now you are here for your own safety." Tobio remembered how his friend had a blank look and controlled that lizard.. Azazel suddenly called out. "MILTELT. Come here." From the door rushed a blond girl in a gothic lolita outfit. "How can I help you?" She bowed, but she was actually terrified. She is very weak and she knew it. "Call the girl here. Natsume."
Miltelt ran out and went to get Natsume. Tobio asked the question he needed to know. "You two said you were my cousins and that my granny was from a Himejima clan right?" Kurayami nodded. "Yup. The Himejima clan is one of the 5 principal clans that serve as exercises and purgers of evil spirits. She was one of the exiled members for using foreign magic."
Tobio held his head as his granny was always special to him and she was a magic-user. "Well let me explain a bit more. The thing you saw earlier was a Utsusemi, an artificial independent avatar sacred gear. As for what sacred gears are, they are weapons made by the God of the bible. My flames are the result of one. As for what we are, we are fallen angels explaining the black wings. My question is who is Sae?"
Tobio looked down and pulled a picture of her. "My friend. She wanted me to go on the trip, but I got sick just before it. What about her?" Raynare spoke up. "Your sacred gear got you sick to protect you. What you need to know is that the Utsusemi Agency won't stop until they get you and the four fiends." They explained what the four fiends were, and the reason they were after him. What Grigori was and why the students were kidnapped.
Tobio gulped his spit and asked what he needed to know. "Can Utsusemi be healed or fixed?" Azazel sat in his chair and nodded. "I can guarantee it. As long as we stop who did it and I know who did it." Tobio was enraged and was going to attack Azazel, but his instincts told him not to. " Kurayami looked at Azazel and spoke. "Zanatel?" Azazel nodded.
"I knew he was planning something, but I didn't know what. He took the Abyss Team with him and most of those sacred gears users are unstable and no thanks to that guy." From the door, Natsume entered with Griffon and flew to Kurayami's arm. Natsume finally decided. "I decided to join as I don't get many choices. You said that I need to train to control Griffon?"
Azazel nodded. "While it looks small and cute it is in fact a deadly creature that brings misfortune and is sealed in a sacred gear for a reason As it is an independent avatar it will always be with you. Tobio take this egg." Azazel got one of the white eggs and Tobio took it in his hands, but nothing happened. Natsume expected something to pop out of it, but nothing.
"Is it delayed?" Azazel shook his head and looked at Tobio all over. He scanned Tobio with a device and the device nearly broke. Azazel grinned and looked at Esdeath and Kurayami. "He has a Longinus. What are the chances for two Longinus users to appear from the Himejima who hate sacred gears? Esdeath looked at Tobio and got an idea. "Hey. Tell me if you feel like you are going to die?"
Tobio was confused, but suddenly he felt the full force of Esdeath's killing intent and it came like a tidal wave. He was frozen in terror and was dripping sweat while Natsume was also frozen in terror while Griffin flew back to her and blocked the intent to keep her safe. Ares was in the middle of training demigods and he looked over and vanished in flames and appeared in the room.
He felt Esdeath's killing intent and knew it was powerful for someone like her. He was interested in what Kurayami's killing intent felt like. Tobio felt like passing out, but nothing. Kurayami raised his hand and Esdeath stopped. "Everyone braces yourselves." Ares was excited and got ready to feel what he had, but what he felt was barely killing intent. While Esdeaths' felt like an oppressive feeling Kurayami was a feeling of pure dread and Ares grinned.
"Boy. You are very close to unlocking Slaughter Intent and the number of people who have had that can be counted one of my hands." From Tobio's chest came a black puppy and the moment it was out Kurayami stopped and looked at Ares. "Slaughter Intent. What can it do?" Ares grinned and focused. "While I lost I was holding back. Check this out." Suddenly a red aura covered Ares and slashes cut into the lab and repaired themselves.
"Slaughter Intent lets you attack with just pure killing intent and honestly it is not a very strong skill, just very rare. If I had gone all out I could have taken your heads, but I guess pride runs through us gods. Azrael is one of the people who can use slaughter intent, another one is Thor, Crom Cruach, and me. I guess you will have it in the future."
Tobio was drenched in sweat and he was looking at the small puppy on his lap who was looking right at him. Lavinia tried to pet him and unlike Aurora the small dog let him. Tobio ran to the trash can and hurled and Lavinia patted his back while that happened. Kurayami looked at him and apologized.
"Sorry, but to release your sacred gear I had to give you a shock. You just experienced killing intent and a lot of it and it released your sacred gear. Which one I guess we will find out." Suddenly he took the small dog from Lavinia's hands and she looked like she would cry. Kuroka looked at it and thought it was cute. "So what are you and what can you do?"
The small dog began to whine and bark and he nodded. "Well good news-bad news." Tobio looked over and asked. "Bad news." He hurled after and Kurayami nodded. "He does not like you." They all felt like passing out and Tobio asked after. "Good news." Kurayami nodded. "This little pup is Canis Lycaon. The blade that kills gods." Azazel began to laugh and he broke out into a mad cackle.
"What do you know? Seems like the Himejima clan is just one big mix of talents. Well, this is good, so Tobio after hearing all that what will you do now? Your sacred gear will make you a target for elimination if you don't join us as Longinus users are all seen as threats. Especially you as your sacred gear was made from a weapon that killed a god." Tobio was shocked and asked. "Wait. You mean that small dog killed a god?"
Kurayami shook his head. "No. Not the dog. It was made of two items. One of them being the King of Arcadia, Lycaon who pissed off Zeus who turned him into a wolf, and Ame-no-Ohabari, a divine sword that was used to kill Hinokagutsuchi, a god. As a result, this pup came to be." *Bark*. Tobio was beyond shock and he refused. "No. I can't do it. I am sorry."
Kurayami nodded and made him an offer. "Well if you hate him that much, just give him to me." Tobio looked at him and asked. "Can you remove him?" Kurayami nodded. "Under normal situations, you would die the moment it was taken from you. but not in this case. As Shin is a separate avatar and Azrael can keep death from claiming you, it will be fine."
(I KNOW IT IS BS, BUT CANIS LYCAON TOO BROKEN TO LEAVE ALONE.)
Tobio looked at the little dog and this was too much for him. "Wait. What about Sae? What will happen to the students if you take him?" Kurayami explained. "We will get them back and fix them, but are you sure? This is a power that will make you one of the strongest beings around." Tobio thought long and hard, but he was just a normal person. He nodded and Kurayami called Azrael with a special magic circle.
When Azrael arrived he looked at the dog in Kurayami's arms and knew what he wanted. "Let me guess. The boy does not want him and you need me to keep him from dying?" Kurayami nodded and Azrael looked at Tobio all over and asked. "You ok losing such a blessing?" Tobio nodded. "I just want a normal life." Azrael touched his forehead and made him pass out. Dense death energy wrapped all over Tobio and suddenly Shin felt his connection to Tobio began to snap.
Kurayami focused on the link and felt Shin begin to make a new pact with him and when the pact was made he suddenly felt overwhelmed and keeled over. He grit his teeth as he started to feel immense pain. Azazel flitched as while possible, most never get two sacred gears as it could kill you. The girls all worried for him and yet Kuraymi was not planning to die. 'I DIED ONCE. I WILL NOT DIE TWICE.'
Blood dripped from his eyes and he stood up and from behind him formed a giant cross that shrunk and became a collar around Shin now the small black dog had a little cross hanging from his neck. Kurayami felt his connection to Shin grow even further. His lightning began to turn black and yet he felt he could use both black and normal versions of his powers.
His familiars began to absorb the aura given off by him and Aurora's golden fur began to turn black, while Tyrant's purple flames began to change again. Blitz began to burn in black flames and he returned to the familiar space. Tobio was clinically dead, but Azrael was one of the strongest beings and he turned Tobio into a fallen angel with his blood.
Kurayami grinned as he just got even stronger and Ares sighed and let out a chuckle. Kurayami took Ares's sword and gave it back. "Here. I won't be needing it anymore. " Ares took his sword back and looked it over. "Just like that? No catch?" Kurayami shook his head. "Nope. I can do this." From Kurayami's hand appeared a black and purple blade.
Rebellion appeared in the other and it began to change by the effect of Shin. Esdeath grinned and needed to know. "Look at that. If you are not going to be one of the strongest beings in the future, who will? Don't think I am going to stop trying to get stronger than you." Raynare nodded. "I still need two more of my sacred gears. Right Viritra?"
From her emerged Viritra who looked Kurayami over and nodded. "My host is right, when I am whole we will grow further in power. Raynar is not one to give up." Akeno frowned and looked at Ares. "Hey. I need more training. I am getting one soon and I need to be as strong as possible." Ares shrugged. "I am in a good mood. I got my sword back and 30 years will be nothing."
Tobio woke up and felt a bit lost. He also felt stronger and looked at the middle-aged man In front of him. "Well I saved your life, but you are not human anymore. I had to turn you into a fallen angel, but you lost Canix Lycon. How do you feel?" Tobio's back extended 2 wings as it depended on the power of the user. While he lost, Canis Lycon's shadow ability was still very strong.
Tobio received a shock that he was not human and felt a headache come.
