In High School Dxd With Powers Of Nanatsu No Taizai - Chapter 16

Once Toshiko and Nara rescued the hostages, it was the beginning of the chaos.

At the same time, Leo and Gacus ended all the surrounding devils. Making sure that none had escaped, the duo met with Toshiko and Nara to check the status of the hostages.

Seeing the arrival of Gacus and Leo, Toshiko and Nara sighed in relief.

“Just in time, we managed to rescue them all. There were some complications but nothing we could not deal with.” Nara greeted with tiredness.

Checking the hostages, Gacus asked: “Someone injured”

“No, we make sure to protect them all, which caused the rescue to be more difficult” Nara replied.

“Good job. Our mission is already over, we just need to take the hostages to a safe place. “Nodding satisfied, Gacus sighed in relief.

Since he had finished his mission. Gacus decided it was time to return, since the longer they will stay, the more likely they were to be involved in the crossfire.

Before they could continue their conversation, a voice rang calling the attention of the team.

“You don’t have to worry, I’ll take care of them,” Serafall interrupted as she descended near the group.

Leo looked at Serafall lazily: “Ohh … until you finally decided to come” Leo said.

“Jejeje Leo-chan, I’m glad to see you too. I MISSES YOU SO MUCH! “Serafall exclaimed with a smile.

Ignoring Serafall, Leo simply looked where he could feel a sudden burst of magical energy.

In the distance, several beams of light could be seen accompanied by a huge snake, the huge snake spitting its long scarlet tongue as it lowered its head and let out a thunderous roar.

‘Ohya? It seems that Sirzechs-chan has already begun. It shouldn’t take long.’ Serafall thought as she walked toward the hostages.

Before she reached the hostages, she stopped and looked into the forest.

When Serafall finished speaking, Yasuo slowly emerged from the trees.

“As expected from Leviathan-sama her senses are very sharp” Okita replied calmly.

As he walked, a dim light covered his body. His appearance changed to that of a man in his twenties, clothes in a light blue haori with sleeves adorned with light mountain stripes and a hakama over a traditional kimono.

Seeing Okita, Leo felt that his clothes reminded him of someone but could not remember who.

“You have already complied with supporting the rescue team so that it doesn’t have any complications. So it’s normal for me to take care of it now.” Serafall replied with a smile.

“I just do my duty.” Okita smiled friendly.

The team excluding Leo who tried to remember who he was, was quite surprised.

“Are you Soji Okita?” Gacus asked even more astonished.

“Who is he?” Nara asked as she looked at Gacus in confusion.

Once Leo heard him it was one of the evil Sirzechs pieces, he remembered who he was. Soji Okita was the gentleman of Sirzechs and also a very important character in the original story since he was the master of Kiba and the reason why Rias became so interested in Japanese culture.

“Now that the presentations are over, it’s time for me to leave.” Once he finished speaking, he headed towards the huge snake.

“As always so dedicated,” Serafall muttered to herself.

“Well, it’s time to leave.”

Serafall formed a magic circle that covered all the hostages and the other team members.

“Aren’t you coming Leo-chan?” Serafall asked when she noticed that Leo was not moving from her place.

Leo looked in the direction Soji went, the huge snake was still wreaking havoc.

“You can get ahead, I’ll stay a little longer,” Leo said.

“Eh …” Serafall exclaimed in confusion.

Serafall stopping for a moment, Serafall searched her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.

“When you finish you just need to circulate your magical energy and it will take you where we are” Serafall said as she handed her the paper.

Storing the paper, Leo didn’t take too much time and headed towards where the snake was.

At his speed, Leo quickly arrived where the huge snake was. Up close, it was even more imposing, its black scales reflected the moon giving it a spooky glow, the huge snake had half its body underground.

Its entire body, including Its underground body, emanated black gases that surrounded the entire battlefield!

At this time, the huge snake opened its jaws as it rammed the surrounding devils.

Seeing the huge snake, Leo asked solemnly: “Soji …”

Soji who was around him replied calmly: “If you want to take care of the snake, you can do it, therefore, do what you have to do. Hurry up, it won’t wait forever. ”

A black aura left his body and spread throughout the area in a single burst!

As his aura increased, dark matter spread throughout his body gathering on his forehead, a claw-shaped mark appeared in his left eye.

Once the brand appeared. His iris changed from light blue to pure black, his black eyes were like an infinite void that only harbored darkness and the end could not be seen.

Suddenly, the dark matter ran down his arm forming a sickle.

Raising his hand, his aura rose violently as he gathered his magical energy in his left arm.

Balancing his arm with all his strength!

Slash

The sickle moved as it shattered the air and created a devastating cut on the snake’s back.

Clank

Without stopping his strike Leo landed on the ground, planting his legs on the ground, exerted force and the ground around his legs sank. With all his strength, he held the snake’s body and pushed it with all his might.

I sound a hiss. The huge snake was unearthed from the ground!

Leo stabilized and swung the sickle in front of him, ready to attack again.

Ahead, the huge snake collapsed in the forest and raised clouds of debris and dust.

Half of the snake’s body shook and shattered the surrounding trees by firing the debris in all directions. Some of the rubble even killed several devils!

The debris splashes were even scarier than the magical attacks, as they shot through the air with great force.

~ Dark Snow

Dark matter particles gathered in Leo’s hand. His previous move had been extremely heavy as he gathered all his strength in digging up the snake, so he decided to use his entire repertoire of skills.

The longer he used his skills, Leo gained more experience in the course of the battles so that he devised new ways to use his attacks to make them even more lethal.

The violent blows rained when numerous snowflakes collided with the scales of the snake causing cracks in the scales of the snake.

The huge snake exploded in rage knowing that his body had been damaged and could not react in time to stop the strike of attacks so he reacted immediately by opening his wide jaws and bit into Leo!

Rafagas of wind flew furiously in Leo’s face.

Without delay, the sickle in Leo’s hand-cut forward. However, the snake knocked him down with a growl. With a heavy blow, Leo shot out, knocking down the trees in his path!

Before Leo could get up, he saw the snake sliding towards him at a terrifying speed while emitting a bloodthirsty aura.

In the distance behind the snake, Soji stayed there quietly and paid no attention to what was happening.

His magical energy circle through his body. Calming his breathing, he used all his concentration on the huge snake. In front of him, Leo felt that everything had been restructured. The forest, the snake, everything had become extremely clear. Every action that the snake performed could easily capture it.

Moving quickly, Leo evaded the snake’s attack by at least a few centimeters and stabbed with his sickle the eyes of the huge snake that had flown past him.

Flying through the sky, Leo managed to avoid the sweep of the snake’s tail.

With the injured left eye, the snake screamed and immediately threw itself on Leo, who was flying. After this, everything suddenly darkened before the other eye that was stabbed by Leo.

The huge snake suddenly stopped moving. Leo also stood still without making any movement. The two were only a few meters away from each other.

In the moment of silence, the scales of the snakes changed color turning red.

The huge snake moved instantly and with its huge mouth open, it pounced at Leo.
