Fate DxD: Archer Reborn

Chapter 48 - 45 - Start of the Ritual

A sadness, that what Arturia felt when Excalibur is getting closer to Kuoh Gakuen. The sorrow of being split into seven pieces and the grief of losing the only person worthy to wield the Excalibur, Arturia Pendragon.

Arturia can see the flashback of herself from this new dimension, she see whe herself from this new dimension pulled Excalibur from a the pedestal by accident. Became a king even though she didn't want to, even died in battle sacrificing herself to save her kingdom.

From the very beginning, Arturia in the new dimension only wanted to live as an ordinary person, didn't want to be the king of the knights, didn't want to lead a kingdom, didn't want to give birth to a child from a man she didn't love, the only thing that make herself feel happy was the smile from the people from her kingdom. To protect that smile she even willing to sacrifice her life on the battlefield.

After seeing the flashback that came from the Excalibur, tears rolled down in Arturia's cheeks, the fate of Arturia from this dimension was not that different from hers the Arturia who came from a different dimension. She promised in her heart to get back the Excalibur from Kokabiel.

"Kokabiel-sama, are you trying to say that the king Arthur from the legends is a woman!" Shouted Valper.

"Yeah, she is the most courageous and kindest woman I have ever met," said Kokabiel. "It is rare for a woman like her to sacrifice herself for her people and kingdom. Even though her people and kingdom have never given her anything other than suffering, but since the smile of her people was the only thing that made her feel happy when she became a king, so she was willing to do anything for her people and kingdom, it's a shame she died so young on the battlefield. "

"Ko-Kokabiel-Sama, why do you know her life story in such detail?" Valper asked.

"Because I feel attracted to Arturia Pendragon," Kokabiel replied. "Not romantically, but more like I was drawn to the story of her life, just like someone reads a very interesting book. Unfortunately because at that time I was still an angel I was forbidden to interfere in her life too far. I'm only allowed to supervise, observe and provide a little help, it can't be more than that. "

"What a pitiful woman," said Siegfried with a disdainful tone. "Why would she bother sacrificing her life just for the sake of humans who don't even care about her."

Siegfried didn't realize when he strangled by Kokabiel. Kokabiel whose body was taller than Siegfried choked him and lifted his body up in the air, Kokabiel's face looked very irritated and full of anger. And Kokabiel seemed ready to kill Siegfried any time.

"Watch your mouth rotten boy!" Kokabiel said in a very cold tone. "Don't you dare talk carelessly about her! you're just a stinky boy who doesn't know anything about sacrifice."

Siegfried, who has never been afraid in his entire life, because he feels he is superior to anyone in this world, has peed himself because he was scolded by Kokabiel. Siegfried did not expect that Kokabiel respected Arturia so much that he was furious and made himself feel scared for the first time.

"Ko-Kokabiel-sama we still need Siegfried to carry out our plan." Valper was also as scared as Siegfried that he almost peed himself up. Fortunately he was able to muster up his courage a little and talk to Kokabiel. "S-so please don't kill him."

Hearing Valper's words, Kokabiel immediately stopped choking Siegfried and immediately threw Siegfried's body on the ground.

"Ckk, consider yourself lucky brat because you still have uses otherwise I have killed you a long time ago because of your rotten mouth!"

Kokabiel turned around and walked back towards Kuoh Gakuen and Valper following him. While Siegfried was holding his neck which was bruised from being choked by Kokabiel while trying to stand up again, he was annoyed because he felt fear for Kokabiel. For him who feels superior to anyone in this world to fear other people is something that cannot be accepted!

'Kokabiel! When you and your stupid ritual are finished, I will definitely kill you! I can't let the humiliation you did to me today haunt me! '

"Kokabiel is very close, I can feel it!" Said Griselda. " Kokabiel is currently in a very angry state right now! "

"He came with an angry state, is he having a problem?" Xenovia said.

"Onii-sama once told me, Kokabiel was a fallen angel who have anger management, but that was if someone insulted or hurt someone whom he considered valuable," said Rias.

"We can use Kokabiel's anger to defeat him," said Sona. "He will definitely be caught off guard because of his anger."

"That is if our opponent is not Kokabiel," said Griselda. "If Kokabiel is currently in a state of anger then we are the one who will be loses. Because when he is angry, Kokabiel can release 120% of his strength. In the past, Vasco Strada, one of our strongest Exorcists, fought Kokabiel in a rage, even though Vasco Strada has win against Kokabiel and drive him away, the injuries he sustained were terrible. To the point that he had to stop being an Exorcist. "

"If the strongest Exorcist can be seriously injured like that, it means that Kokabiel's strength when angry is very frightening," said Akeno. "Rias you must contact Sirzech-sama immediately to fight Kokabiel."

"I already do that before you even talked about it Akeno," said Rias. "But unfortunately he couldn't come to Kuoh casually and fight Kokabiel directly. If he did that there would be a tension between the devil and the fallen angel."

"It turns out the politics in the supernatural world has no different from the politics in the human world," Rin said. "Something that very complicated and troublesome."

"Politics is not that complicated Rin," Saber said. "I can teach you if you want."

"No need, thank you," said Rin. "I don't want to learn a troublesome things."

"Shhh you two be quiet for a moment," said Shirou. "The enemy has appeared!"

As Shirou said, Kokabiel and Valper had arrived at Kuoh Gakuen.

Kokabiel still looks angry and Valper still looks a little scared because of Kokabiel's anger.

But as soon as Kokabiel saw Rias and Sona, his anger subsided a little. Kokabiel was happy because the two devil that he want to kill was right in front of him. He didn't need to search for the two of them anymore, before this Kokabiel think that Rias and Sona peerage members are the one who will fight him. But it turns out that Rias and Sona, who will fight him directly. That was a very good thing for him.

Behind Valper and Kokabiel, Siegfried whose face still looked pale as a result of being choked by Kokabiel finally arrived and the Excalibur he was carrying trembled even stronger as if preparing to fly away from him at any moment.

"Well, well, well I didn't expect that the younger siblings of two Mao and their peerage with the two Exorcists from the Vatican will waiting for me," said Kokabiel. "You all must have guessed that I would perform the excalibur unification ritual here."

"We are all aren't afraid to you Kokabiel," said Rias. "And we will beat you!"

"Self-confidence is a good thing, but all of you should know that the difference in our strengths is vast!" Kokabiel said.

"Kokabiel-sama I and Siegfried have finished preparing the ritual!" said Valper. "Everything will be finished in 5 minutes!"

"Very nice!" Kokabiel said. "Continue with the sacrifice for the ritual!"

"Okay!" Valper took Irina out of his dimensional pocket and then handed it to Siegfried to carried.

"Irina!" Shouted Xenovia.

"This girl is perfect sacrifice for rituals!" Valper said. "If you the Exorcists want to take her back then go ahead, but you have to fight your former comrade Siegfried the owner of the most powerful demon sword Gram!"

"Siegfried!" Shouted Griselda. "Let go of Irina!"

"Sorry I can't do that Griselda," Siegfried said. "My job is to make sure, that no one will disturb the ritual!"

Shirou really wanted to help Irina, but Shirou held him self back because he knows this is not the right time to play as a hero, he is not Shirou Emiya who is naive and wants to help everyone. He is Archer Emiya, Counter Guardian who already understands the reality of life.

Siegfried was surprised he didn't expect the Excalibur would just fly out like that from his bag. The five Excaliburs dashed out of the bag and flew towards Saber who was hiding behind Shirou's body. Saber then appear in front of Shirou and then she stood beside Shirou, and the five Excaliburs stuck to the ground with their hilt aimed at Saber.

Kokabiel was really shocked, he seemed to see a ghost when Saber appeared from behind Shirou's body.

"Arturia Pendragon !?"
