Thunder kept raining down with precision striking each Cerberus, some exploded electrocuting their insides and others just keeled over and died from the impact of the thunder.

Akeno had enough power coursing through her body to destroy the Cerberus for as long as they kept coming.

"Kokabiel," Rias yelled out as she was holding onto a mass of her demonic power the size of a small car only round.

"That's massive." Katase was in awe of the sheer size of power that Rias was holding onto as they could feel the power that radiated off of it.

Rias threw the ball at Kokabiel as it was no slouch moving at a good rate of speed. It lurched towards him looking as if it was going to swallow him in the energy. He raises his left hand as the energy touched it and flicked his wrist up sending the demonic power up into the air shattering it into smaller pellets of energy that hit the barrier as if it was rain. "Unfortunate that the Red Dragon had to give you that kind of power."

"I'm done." Valper said as a white light began to overtake the field.

All the girls covered their eyes as it was there was a singular holy sword in the field letting off a blue and white hue as it consolidated.

"This town will be destroyed in two minutes now that the blade has been formed." He said looking at the blade.

"Freed" Kokabiel called out as the former priest appeared from the darkness.

"Yeah, boss?"

"Take Excalibur and but the final entertainment for the night."

Freed rubbed his hands together as he walked towards the blade "Sounds like some reckless fun." He grabbed hold of the blade and started swinging the blade around "Now I can chop up some devils."

Xenovia moved to the middle of the field as did Yumi. "Knight of Rias Gremory. If you still want to cooperate we can destroy that blade.

Yumi looked over at her still somewhat surprised "Now it's okay?"

Xenovia laughed hearing that "I was tasked to collect fragments of Excalibur. That thing Freed is holding is no longer Excalibur nor is it a holy sword. That sword is heresy if I were to bring it back."

Laughed was heard as Yumi pointed her sword at Valper. "Valper Galilei. I am a survivor of the Holy Sword Project. But I continued to live as a Devil."

"A survivor? How unfortunate to meet you in a country like this." Valper looked at the swords that were being brandished on the battlefield. "You know I like holy swords. I'm fascinated by the legends of Excalibur, but then I found out I wasn't able to wield them. So I made it my goal to wield that blade. That's when I started the experiment to find a way. Thanks to you and the others I was able to complete it."

"Complete? You called us failures and disposed of us." Yumi yelled at him as she doubted his words.

Valper shook his head "No, there is an essential factor or a code needed to wield holy swords. And there are many of them, but most subjects only had the elements to use them but not the factor to active it. That's when I found out that that there was a way to gather the two of them."

Xenovia ground her teeth hearing that "So that's what's inside of the blessing."

Valper smiled hearing that "Yes that's right, I took out the holy elements from those children and turned them to crystal." He pulled a light blue crystal out of his pocket and showed it off. "With this, I advanced the research that could be done on the swords. But those fools in the church banished me for heresy and took my research. But Michael wouldn't go as far as to kill them to progress. If Michael did that he would only more human than I ever will be." Valper continued to laugh

"You killed my friends… just so you could get enough element to wield holy swords?" Yumi asked him as she was radiating off killing intent as she looked at him.

"Yep yep. This is the last of my research, I had three more but Freed used them."

The sword in Yumi's hand was shaking as she heard Valper gloat. "You…. How many lives did murder for your greed."

"Here" Valper tossed the crystal at her as she caught it "My research has reached a stage where mass producing them is possible.

But this town will be destroyed and I will gather the holy swords stored in the vaults around the world.

After that, I will take this war to Michael and the Vatican with the combined Excaliburs to prove to those fools that my research was supreme.

In Yumi's hands, the crystal glowed as it started to float. The light of the crystal spread across the field as the light formed the children that surrounded her. "Your…" Tears began to drip down her face

"To think that the souls of the dead could appear on the battlefield." Akeno said as she touched the ground as everybody had gathered up awaiting the next move.

"Everyone I always…" Yumi said to them as they shook their heads.

~Dont worry about us.~ ~It's far too late for us, but your alive and that's what matters.~ The figures linked hands as they swayed in unison and began to sing.

As they were singing Asia's eyes perked up hearing the song. "That's the sacred song." Asia was all too familiar with the song that they were singing, Issei knew it as well as he remembered Gabriel singing it from time to time.

Yumi had joined in the singing as one of the children reached down to her ~We have already accepted our fates.

You have to accept the holy sword.~ The spirits began fading away as their light moved towards her. The crystal floated to her chest sinking in her as the light intensified.

[You wanted to know what it looks like from the outside. That's what the peak looks like.] Ddriag said to Issei as was watching Yumi.
