Eliatrope In Dxd - Chapter 7 King Of Knightstime Jump

Elrun dimension, in a moon size planet, Alan could be seen training his marksmanship with a jet black western style bow, the bow of heaven Tauropolos.

Nocking two arrows, aims at the sky as they began to shone turquoise, before releasing them at a great enough speed that they pierced through the clouds while leaving behind a glittering trail. Shortly after, comes a faint light filling the sky and a sound similar to falling rain, but instead of it being a rain of water, it is a rain of arrows of light falling onto the ground like a downpour, with each arrow falling with monstrous power, completely devastating the zone

“Yes, the same name used by the creator of this skill: Phoebus Catastrophe”

Alan just smile at that, he couldn’t help but agree, what is more scary is that it’s not the bow or the arrows who give Phoebus Catastrophe it’s power, it’s the technique itself of nocking and shooting the arrows with the bow, and someone just come up with that

‘The world is full of interesting people like those hero of the past, I want to meet them’ he thought with a smile

‘I have spent 6 years training here just like that’ thought he

While familiarizing himself with every weapon of his arsenal, Alan spent 6 years in Elrun. He was now 12

‘Oh well I can change my age anyway thanks to the gadget in the ‘Garden’ and the time flow differently here than in the underworld since Elrun is not connect to Earth like the God’s pantheon ‘

???: “Now, is it time for us to go ?”

Alan turned to face the owner of this sweet voice. A young girl of his age wearing a one piece white dress, soft skin, and green eyes, blond hair. Her face shows some signs of naivety and displays elegance. She approached Alan with a smile on her face wich make his heart beat faster, he then forced himself to calm down and smiled back

Alan: “Artoria”

King of knights, proud knight king, Artoria Pendragon

…Alan POV…

I still remember the first days I first met her while I was wanted to wield Calibur-twins better

…Flashback…

Alan: “Wait what !? How is that possible, didn’t I just create it ?”

Alan: “I see, it’s really complex but i somehow understand. So now let’s meet the king of knights”

After hearing Elianor, i started to concentrate my soul on Excalibur with my eyes closed, and after a while i oppened them only to find myself on a after battle battlefield. Body, blood and weapon everywhere, and in the middle of this stood someone looking at the sky. A young woman in her late teens with a slender physique, soft skin, and green eyes. She has finely textured blonde hair that seems as if sprinkled with gold dust. She woreshining silver armor with an old styled battle dress, made from old-fashioned blue cloth, stain in blood and dirt. She turned to look at me with a stoic look, our eyes met, we looked at each other for 10 seconds, something weird happened and I don’t know what, but what i saw in her eyes was guilt, sorrow, endless loneliness and sadness. I didn’t like that look on her face, i didn’t want to see that on her for some reason, it angered me

Artoria: “New wielder of Excalibur, on guard”

She said and dash at me with Excalibur, and i took an older form and did the same with Excalibur on my hand wich appeared without me noticing. Our sword cross, again and again, her swordsmanship was beautiful, flawless, deadly, the perfect sword art but

‘That look…’ it angered me so much, i couldn’t take it anymore

Alan: “What’s with that look in your eyes King of Knights !?”

I yelled while exchanging blow, i didn’t want to see that. And she react, she frowned

Alan: “Is that because your kingdom fall !? Because you were betrayed by your own knights and friend !? What ? Are you feeling guilty !?”

Artoria: “Enough !!!”

Her Excalibur change into Excalibur Morgan and i was instant killed. I woke up with a new ugly scar, I took a day of rest and went back in the same place and she looked at me with an angry look and dash at me. We exchanged powerful blow one after another while i talked to her….or more like yelled at her again and again

Alan: “Why are you blaming yourself King of Knights !?”

Artoria: “I am the cause of the downfall of my kingdom !!! Because I was the king !!! It should have never been me !!!”

She yelled back while her apparence into that of Artoria alter, her fighting style became more tyrannical with that change, we exchange blow for a while until i was killed. And i repeated the process getting scar after scar, while trying to change that look in her eyes.

Days and month pass, our style change to dual wielding and our surrounding change little by little, we battled and yelled at each other until one day i sent her swords flying

Alan: “Stop looking in the past, Artoria !! You did what you could as a king, you sacrificed your own happiness for that of your kingdom !! None of what happen was your fault !! You have to move forward, that’s why Excalibur save you, it gave you a second chance !!!”

I grab her by her shoulder and look at her directly at her eyes

Alan : “You are not the king Arthur of Camelot anymore, you’re just a young woman named Artoria Pendragon !! You too have the right to be happy, Artoria !!!”

We looked at each over until tears started to come out of her eyes. It make my heart bleed seeing that, so i hug her

Alan: “You can release everything Artoria all the weighs on your shoulder and in your heart, you don’t have act strong with me, I will always lend you shoulder to cry, i will always be your confident and i will always be by your side forever, Artoria Pendragon”

After whispering that to her, she finely released everything and cry out loud. Our surrounding change from a gloomy battlefield to a beautiful field of white flower, and we sat there in each other embrace.

Since then, day and month pass while we battle each other in a different mood, we crossed sword while smiling, we also open to each other, she told me her story and told her mine, we started to know each other better and something new started form in our heart and grew little by little, stronger and stronger. I know what it was, there was only her in my mind, in my heart, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. And one day after our spare i decided to tell her

‘Grew some balls Alan you can do it dude, you’re a dragon it’s just a confession ! It was less difficult when I told her that I will always be by her side, why is it now damn it !!’

I gave myself two good slap wich startled her

Artoria: “Alan ? Is something wrong ?”

*inhale* *exhale*

I then walk toward her and grab her shoulder, i look at her with a serious face….well if it wasn’t red i would have look serious, I then said

Alan: “A- Artoria, will you start your new life with me ? I-i love you, Artoria” It was the worst confession ever did I wasn’t really proud of it, i could hear Elianor laughing her ass off

She just looked at me and i started to sweet the bucket, she then smiled, and oh boy that was one hell of a smile, calling her beautiful was an understatement, i could feel my face burning. She didn’t said anything, she just lean forward and kissed me and my eyes opened wide, was she this daring ?, I closed my eyes and enjoy the moment. It wasn’t a lewd one but one fill with love. We reluctantly separate from each other, she then looked at me

Artoria: “Alan, you opened my eyes and guide me the word you told me at that time mean a lot for me, you occupy an important place in my heart, although I don’t have much knowledge of the womanly way I know that it’s not just because of gratitude, my feeling, what I feel for you, are real”

She smiled even brighter while blushing

Artoria: “I love you too, my dear Alan”

After saying that, we kiss each other again, a french one but still fill with love, after we separated from each other she said something wich startled me

Artoria: “And I know that I won’t be the only one”

Alan: “Come again ?”

Artoria: “Alan you’re strong, kind and *giggle* cute, call it woman intuition or whatever but i have the feeling that i won’t be the only one”

She said while putting her hand on my cheek

‘I’m not a kind guy thought ? I just do what i want, and why cute ? More importantly, doesn’t it bother her if that happen ?’

Artoria: “But I won’t allow random girl to be by your side, also…..”

At that time the temperature got colder, her apparence change into that of Alteria meaning she’s in her ‘dragon’ mod and she grab my collar, I started to freak out

Artoria: “No matter how many lover you will have, never forget that I AM the number ONE, and I shall always be, that place in your heart is mine and i shall never share it, do I make myself clear ?”

She said with a smile that wasn’t one at all, she was really scary at that moment, I just nod quickly

Artoria: “Good”

She release me and went back to normal. ‘Holy sh*t, mental note to myself: never piss her off. I will never put my trust in the ref of type-moon since they’re not the same Artoria at all’

Alan: “Now I will create a body for you, and we will train a bit for you to get accustomed to it”

Artoria: “Understood. Let’s spare some more before you go back”

Alan: “Alright !”

…End Flashback…

After creating a body for her, wich was at the same age as me wich mean 8, I reinforce her dragonic blood and Elianor told me that the blood she inherited was that of a heavenly dragon, the heavenly dragon of wit and wisdom, Pendragon. We train together, grew up together and became much more closer than we already are, and she know how to act as woman(since she’s a woman) but no idea about how a woman should react, for example a woman should scream “pervert !” when you come in while they are naked but she didn’t have any reaction at all, we were still 11 but still we are mentally adult. I started to getting used to that kind of situation, well i have to, before hitting puberty, I also ask Elianor to teach her about some modern girly basic shit.

I chuckle while remembering these pleasant(?) memory. While I was thinking about that, Artoria change her cloth from a dress to a gray sport jacket and scaf with white extremity, high combat boot, mini shirt and her beautiful golden like hair tied in ponytail

Alan: “Yes, It’s time to go back home, I wonder how will they react when I will introduce you as my girlfriend and fiance, and look good right now”

Artoria: “*chuckle* thanks, Alright, let’s go I want to see how did the world became”

I took out [Eliacube] and created a Dimensional Gate, but it was different than the usual one with a powerful attraction power

Alan: “Hmm ? This one act strangely”

But before Elianor could finish her sentence, I and Artoria who were trying to stop me were both suck by the portal without giving.

********

Somewhere in the underworld, a bluish gate appeared out of nowhere, and after a few minute I and Artoria were throw out of it

Alan: “aaagh, damn it, are you alright ?” I said while getting up and helping Artoria to do so

Artoria: “I’m ok but what was that ?”

Alan: “Elia ?”

Alan/Artoria: “But ?”

My widened in disbelief, I look at Artoria but instead of fear in her eyes, there was surprise, curiosity and excitement, well of course, we just time travelled

Alan: “Time travel huh ?”

Alan: “What do you mean ?”

Artoria: “I remember you talking about this Grayfia, and I would like to have a little chat with her”

Alan: “Anyway, since we were meant to be here, why don’t we help them in this civil war ? It will help us to practice” I said while looking at her, I thought she would react by the fact that I wanted to use actual people as practice dummy but she seem to didn’t care.

As if reading my mind she said

Artoria: “Don’t worry, I heard about these old devil faction from Elianor, they are not innocent people so their lives doesn’t matter, they should be honoured to be choose as our practice dummy instead”

‘….Savage. She’s quit ruthless, surely because Artoria and Alteria are one but it’s surprising’ I thought while smiling wryly at my girlfriend ruthless comment

*Boom*

Artoria: “Seem like we won’t be looking to far”

Alan: “Indeed

We then put on our armor, Artoria decided to wear her blue battle dress and silver armor with her silver mask on covering her eyes and I decided to wear my ivory and blue Durandel armor (N/A: from BDO) with an ivory mask covering my mouth. We then ran in direction of the battlefield.

After finding the battlefield, I saw Sirzechs and some soldiers with the Gremory emblem in apparent difficulty

‘Seem like they’re taking advantage of the fact that he won’t use his full power with his men around’

After seing that I oppened a portal high enough in the sky, and then oppened dozen of portal ready for mana shoot appeared aim at some of the old devil faction to help the Gremory soldiers in critics situation, getting the attention of Sirzechs and the other devils, I then said

“Merry Christmas you filthy animal~!!”

*Evil smirk*

“And happy new year~!!”

Every portal shoot toward the old devil faction
