"That and his skills with weaponry ranks him pretty high on the termination list."
"So he is put on the list for destroying the branch family?" Tsubaki asked as she read the document.
...
"The other reason is because of his Sacred Gear." Sona replied back tiredly. "The gear he has is [Hell's Trident], it is similar to Yuuto's Sword Birth by being a gear that allows the user to create weapons, in this case spears. And that devil has a lot of choices."
"If Yuuto's use of swords are meant for direct attacks, Regeis uses his gear of spears towards assassinations. His multiple assassination methods are often uncontested with his gear." Rias had a very disturbed expression as she recalled her information. "It was with such a gear that allowed him to kill off the prominent members of the clan and leave out the remainder for him to pick off one by one."
"Whoa, with strengths like that, he sounds more like someone the higher-ups should be handling and not groups like us." Tsubasa remarked as she looked at the photo with a bit of fear.
"Oh, but it gets better." One could almost taste the amount of venomous sarcasm in Sona's tone as she said it. "Regeis got resurrected with a Mutated Knight Piece."
"Mutated Knight?" Ise tilted his head in confusion. "Is that something a lot stronger than a regular Knight?"
"A whole lot stronger." Kiba turned to Ise with a grim look. "As Buchou had explained to you and Asia, each of our pieces are worth a certain value. That is for regular pieces. Mutation Pieces are a lot rarer but at the same time a lot more valuable, because someone who is resurrected with a Mutation Piece would mean that the person would be a lot stronger than another resurrected with a regular piece."
"Yeah, and considering his Sacred Gear and his exponential growth as a fighter, it explains why he has a Mutated Knight Piece." Rias pursed her lips as she looked at the photo. "Quite honestly, I don't understand the thought process of the one handing out the notices. It's as if they want us to fail at catching this guy!"
"You think? After all, there are those who disapprove of my sister and your brother and are constantly seeking ways to undermine their authority." Sona rubbed her forehead in frustration. "From what I was told back home, it seemed some of the higher ups have started more extreme manners of trying to get back at the current government. One method would be to put us in the bad light, thus making our brother and sister look bad."
"Still, is it because of that, or is it perhaps about the match?" Reya asked in concern. "After all the match got leaked to the general public and everyone wants to know what was going on. Maybe this person is the same?"
"That may be the case, but none of that matters now." Sona glared at the photo like the man offended her big time. "I am more worried if Emiya meets this guy."
"I'm sure he can handle himself." Ise said while sounding a little uncertain.
"No doubt he could, but I don't know if he has ever fought anyone like Regeis. He definitely did not know about Sacred Gears until we told him and there are multiple versions of gears that could outmatch him, and no offense to him, he is still a human." Sona paused for a moment before adding one more bit. "And regarding his strengths, I fear that would be the reason Regeis would come for him."
"He wants to fight Shirou for being strong?" Ise asked with a tone of evident disbelief.
"Regeis is known for being a battle-junkie. Back when he was under his master's control, he was constantly seeking out strong fighters to take them on. Eventually he grew tired of the lack of opponents and took on members of his group." Rias answered. "To him, being on the battlefield with his life on the line is what defines his very existence. Constantly facing off strong opponents is the proof that he is alive and stronger than them."
"So if he meets Emiya-kun?!" Meguri got up from her seat too quickly, causing her chair to topple backwards.
"Bad news." Ise supplied the answer with a pale face.
"Okay everyone, this is an emergency. We are to find Emiya-kun and get him back here in one piece." Sona gave an order to everyone with a strict face. "If you encounter Regeis, do not attempt to go against him. You are to run and hide while waiting for backup. If need be, use a teleportation spell to get yourselves and Emiya away from him."
"I know you do not want to involve our siblings in this manner, but I think I will prepare a quick line with Onii-sama just in case." Rias said in a very serious tone. "Given the fact that Regeis is in the area is already cause for concern, and considering all that has happened, I would not put it past some people to try and use this opportunity to do some mayhem in our town."
"Right, so let's go and find Emiya-kun!"
"BOOOMMM!"
Everyone faced the window to find one of the closest hill have one side blown off completely and the forest going up in flames. Thankfully the hill had a barrier to contain any damage, but it was doubtful that it was meant for such an explosion.
"I think we may have found Shirou." Ise said out the thought that was in everyone's head.
...
Boy, was I having the time of my life or what?
The warehouse was no longer looking as barren or spotless a few minutes ago. Now with my rather unusual decorative talents, the place resembled something like an inverted pin-cushion, with swords as the pins and big cracks in the ground, with the occasional spears provided by my dance partner.
I was right about this fellow being a very dangerous individual; right from the start, he used multiple versions of those weird spears to try and rob me of my mobility, using some very unusual movements to disrupt my concentration, and perhaps the most disconcerting, this guy was using assassination type movements that were extremely effective. He was quite arguably the most efficient fighter I have met since coming to this world, none of the other devils came close, not even Kiba with his techniques could compare to him.
"HAHAHA! YESS! Now this is a fight!" That devil looked at me with the most disturbing eyes. "So long I have been fighting weak opponents, and every one of them keeps dropping like leaves. It got so boring that I was starting to contemplate just straight up murdering everyone."
"Then I heard about the supposed Red Dragon Emperor living in this area and decided to try my luck. On my way here, I also heard about a supposed human who was training a group of Devils to beat the Phenex Peerage and I got more intrigued. Not many humans can be that strong, and I must admit I was a little distrustful of that news." He started to twirl the spear that was in his hands while circling around me, his eyes still having that crazed light and looking like a hunter who has found good prey.
"But then I saw that clip of the Rating Game, and so I decided a little experiment was in order. I caught a few of those Strays and released them into the area to lure both of you out into the open for me to study. For the past few days, I studied the both of you, looking at your take-downs. One thing became very clear."
"The reincarnated devil wielding the Longinus is decent enough, but extremely green." The devil let out a disdained snort about Ise. "He has zero experience, and clearly it was a fluke that he gained the gear from his birth. He still needed help for even the most basic of fights, it was embarrassing to watch."
"But you are an exception."
To prove his words, he instantaneously created another spear and threw both at me, only for me to quickly parry them and jump in time to avoid the third that came from behind and detonated on impact, scattering debris everywhere.
"You are definitely someone who has fought a long time, and I have been watching your tactics. And I can make a few conclusions. You are someone who clearly has been dealing with more overpowered individuals than one should normally deal with, yet you always come out on top with your fangs sharpened with each kill. You are the type who does not fool around with his kills, you go straight for the jugular."
Another two spears of unusual design came in opposite directions, and I sidestepped in time for them to hit each other before I detonated one of my blades to destroy them.
"And at times when you have a tricky one in your midst, you tend to use tactics that would be considered suicidal, but it will always end with you on top."
A carefully placed throw forced me into a ring of spears which he detonated with a snap of his fingers. With a quick slam on the ground, I was able to project a wall of swords to protect me from the blunt of the explosion, which ended up taking out a portion of the roof.
"Yes, and I am also sure of one thing." At this point, his smile became so wide that he looked less of a man and more of a beast. "You and I are actually two peas of a pod."
