Chapter 424 - Banished Knights of Old

(Third Person POV)

"I'll handle these two." Jason said with a serious face

Gajeel straightened up, "Are you sure?" He asked

Jason nodded, "Yea." He said releasing a dark silver aura

He snapped his fingers and suddenly, all three of them disappeared completely. 

Sting frowned, "What the hell?" He said

Hundreds of meters away, they appeared on a small cliff that overlooked the battle. Kyoka and Seilah stood there, in front of Jason, looking at him. 

Almost immediately, the three of them were surrounded by dozens upon dozens of Alvarez soldiers. 

"Kuku." Kyoka said, "Did you expect to isolate us so easily?"

"We are direct subordinates of a Shield of Spriggan." Seilah said, "We have access to an ample supply of meatshields." 

Kyoka pointed her finger at Jason, "Our minions, get him." 

The soldiers then charged at Jason, firing off a barrage of magic projectiles. 

"Tch!" Jason said as he dodge them 

His spear then disappeared and he summoned what looked like a white hand-cannon. 

"Holy Gun: Lumina" 

He then pointed at the soldiers that reached him and opened fire, hitting them all in the head and instantly taking them out. As they fell, a small white orb appeared above their corpses. The orb immediately shot straight toward Jason and covered him with a small white aura. 

Jason then waved his free hand at the incoming soldiers, blowing them away with an invisible force. He then pointed the gun in the air. 

"Blessings of The Sky: Homing Ally Bullets" 

He fired off several rounds of white projectiles that shot straight into the air and immediately shot straight down to the battlefield. 

"What a peculiar ability." Kyoka said, "What is that gun?" 

"Lumina." Jason began to explain, "When this gun lands a critical hit or kills a foe, a white orb appears which homes in on me, granting me homing ally bullets. Once I fire them off, they go and hit an ally in which it heals and buffs both of us, granting me enhanced power." 

As he said that, he was covered in a bright white aura that surrounded him. 

"Interesting." Seilah said, "And that'll help you in defeating us?" 

"Yea." Jason said, "But I don't need it. You two are not a match. But I have to say, you two look good. It's been a while, after all." 

Kyoka raised an eyebrow, "Do we know you?" She asked

Jason nodded, "The three of us, for a time, had some fun." He said with a slight smile, "If you catch my drift." 

"Hmph." Seilah said, "You lie." 

"I'm not lying." Jason said, "But if it requires me dominating you again for you to remember, then so be it." 

Jason then snapped his fingers, releasing a light purple and white aura as the ground began to shake. 

"Banished Knights of Old" 

Suddenly, three massive knights appeared out of nowhere. Two next to Jason while the third appeared behind him, towering over him completely. One of them wielded a sword and shield, another wielded two claymores in his hands, and the third had a Halberd readied in a stance. 

Jason smirked, "O, Knights of Old." He said pointing forward, "Go forth and defeat my enemies." 

As the Alvarez soldiers approached, the Knights immediately lunged at them, striking at the soldiers with their weapons, causing powerful shockwaves that sent everything flying away.

They fought with such ferocity that once they had reached both Kyoka and Seilah, the two Demons had to jump away to safety, narrowly avoiding Oleg's fierce claymores. 

Evngall swung his massive halberd, causing whirlwinds enchanted with frost that hit the soldiers and sent them flying away. With every swing of his powerful halberd, several soldiers were cut in half. 

Gustav charged at the soldiers, bashing them with his shield as he spun around and cut their heads off in a swift motion. He blocked their projectiles with his shield and lunged at them, thrusting his sword and impaling them with ease. 

Jason watched this with a smirk on his face, enjoying the might of his Banished Knights. This was a spell he was saving up and wanted to use it at a proper battlefield. The Western Front was not such a thing due to his constant bombing runs. And the assault in the air was a risky time to summon them, due to the instability of the destroyed ships. 

Kyoka attempted to attack Oleg, who was cutting down soldiers with ease, and was surprised to see her tendril attacks had no effect on him. 

Oleg swung his swords, sending a wave of wind and electricity at her. She managed to jump away and narrowly avoid the explosion of both elements. The Banished Knight lunged at her and swung one of his swords down fiercely, managing to cut Kyoka vertically. 

"Gahh!!" She yelled out in pain

"Kyoka-sama!!!" Seilah exclaimed 

She attempted to jump to her aid but Evngall struck her with the butt of his halberd, sending her flying back. The Banished Knight then spun his halberd around, charging up a powerful whirlwind as it began to be enhanced with frost. 

He then stomped on the ground, causing a shockwave, and swung the halberd, sending a cannon of wind and frost at Seilah who was surrounded by Alvarez soldiers. The cannon hit them and caused a massive explosion of wind and frost. 

"Hm..." Jason said, "They're really strong...but I wonder...." 

He then looked over at Gustav, who was handling dozens of soldiers with ease, cutting them down by the second. 

"Interesting..." He said, "I guess they don't fuck around..." 

"That's cool."
