《Living Clothing In A World Full Of Devils (Female Ryuko reader X Highschool DxD)》Finally Part 4: Making a Safer Future

My back slides across the ground before I get to my feet and return to the sky.
Viego: When will you learn? You won't win!
(Y/N): 𝕀𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡 𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕒𝕤𝕤, 𝕪𝕠𝕦'𝕝𝕝 𝕝𝕠𝕤𝕖 𝕤𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕘𝕠𝕒𝕝! 𝕊𝕠 𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝!
Catching the blade between my trident, I spin so he let's go of it before going on my assult. But he lets out a field of energy that forces me away. I get by balance as he catches his sword. I stare him down, before I quick pain shot through me. But, it left as soon as I noticed it.
(Y/N): What the?
Senketsu:
(Y/N): What happened? I felt something, but then it was gone.
Kisaragi: [That was my power. I said I put it all into Senketsu. That means he's doing all the heavy lifting.]
(Y/N): Wait, what does that mean for you? I'm not quite understanding.
Viego: Taking a breather? Tired already?
(Y/N): 𝕊𝕙𝕦𝕥 𝕦𝕡! 𝕀'𝕝𝕝 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕀'𝕞 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕪!
He shrugged. God he's so arrogant. Even more then Satsuki.
(Y/N): Alright, continue. What does this mean?
Kisaragi: [It means, when you leave this form, I'll vanish. Without my powers keeping hold to you, I won't exist.]
(Y/N): W-what?! Then.....What about you Senkets?
Senketsu:
(Y/N): W-what?! I don't get a say?
Kisaragi: [I'm sorry. But it was an 'in the moment' type of situation. It was either we lose you......]
I'm..... speechless. They would really go all the way just to keep me alive.....
(Y/N): You two......are the best friends I could ask for.....Alright. 𝕃𝕖𝕥'𝕤 𝕕𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤!
Viego: Ready to give up now? Or will you fight?
(Y/N): 𝕀'𝕝𝕝 𝕗𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥. 𝔸𝕟𝕕 𝕨𝕚𝕟!
I de-summon my trident and spit my blades apart. I still feel more comfortable using my scissors in a life or death situation like this. It's now or never...
My blades clash with his as the energy ripples across the land. I get a good hit on his head as he's sent to the ground. I fly down, trying to end this quickly, but he held his blade up with one hand and held my blade back.
Viego: Did you really think I was that easy? You'll have to try even better then that to kill me.
I grunt before flipping back into the air.
(Y/N): 𝔻𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕔𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕪 𝕟𝕠𝕨!
My blades extend into Decapitation Mode as I send red energy waves at them. As they approched, they got covered in a blue tint. He breaks them with his blade, but a shared cut his cheek. I smirk before sending more twords him while flying back down. I let my blades be covered in the same energy. Now knowing that Gwen's power can work against him, I can use that to my advantage. I see him block my energy slashes but wasn't prepared for when I came down. I slashed diagonally while I landed on my feet. I managed to slash through one of his eyes and down most of his face. He steps back in shock, reaching his hand up to his face.
Viego: You.......you actually...
(Y/N): 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥'𝕤 𝕨𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕘? 𝕀 𝕠𝕟𝕝𝕪 𝕔𝕦𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦. 𝕀 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕞𝕪 𝕡𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣, 𝕤𝕠 𝕀 𝕘𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒 𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕚𝕥.
That seems to have got him upset. He grits his teeth. His aura starts to get stronger.
Viego: You...... actually hurt me. I'LL MAKE SURE TO CRUSH YOU!
I smirk, knowing that I now have the upper hand. His cool and levelheaded nature was what I had to break through. Now the real fun begins.
But, that was broken when I heard a roar. Multiple.

Viego: Hehe......hehehe. Looks like they finally woke up.
(Y/N): Who? 𝕎𝕙𝕠 woke 𝕦𝕡?
Viego: Hehehe...... Wouldn't you like to know? Don't worry. Your friends will know shortly.
I'm not liking this. Whatever that thing was sounds big. I don't know if they could handle something like that, but at the moment, I just have to hope.
(Y/N): How long can you keep going buddy?
Senketsu:
I sigh, knowing that my fears of a day without Senkets is coming sooner then I'd like. I swallow the lump in my throat before preparing for whatever can be thrown at me........I hope things are alright outside....
-----------------------------------------------------------
I stab my blades into the head of a shadow before spinning Excalibur Destruction around and clearing a whole wave of them.
Rias: That's all for this wave! Everyone take 5!
I fall on my butt, trying to catch my breath.
Sonia: Here's some water. Made myself of course.
She hands me the solid sphere of water. I take it from her and drink it down in seconds.
Xenovia: Ahh~. Man, I'm feeling better already. Your water magic is impressive.
She's about to say something before we hear a roaring. That's new. And it's definitely not just a normal wave. I stand back up and look twords the portal.
Xenovia: Let's group up. That sounds big.
She nods and we gather back up to everyone resting.
Sirzechs: Everyone heard that too right?
Kiba: Sounds collosal. What could it be?
Raynare: Beats me. But if it's anything like those spirits, we can handle it.
Akeno: Who knows? But, knowing what we've been doing, (Y/N) must be done on her end and this is our own final test.
Inumuta: A test?
Akeno: Yeah. Clearly this is a test of our capabilities without her.
Xenovia: Then let's do it. Let's show whoever is on the other side that we are strong together!
There was a strong cheer amongst the factions. I raised my blades as they all raise their fist or any weapons they are holding. I smile at their will to fight.
Xenovia: Now, let's prepare for-
Issei: GUYS!! YOUR GONNA WANT TO SEE THIS!!
Ddraig: I told you not to stick your head in there!
He runs over to us as the earth shakes. Something grabs the frame of the portal. The sheer potential size makes me fear that it's bigger then the portal itself. And that comes true when the frame breaks, sending it's pieces everywhere. Two angles get infront of everyone and put up a giant shield to protect us from the pieces.
Rias: ISSEI! The hell did you do?!
Issei: Nothing! I had a bad feeling and I just had to check.
Ddraig: You didn't "had" to do anything! I told you not too!
Rias: Issei I swear to my brother when we're through here I'm going to use you as a personal target dummy.
Nui: Done fucked up now dragon boy~!
Issei: Shut it!
Another roar shakes the ground as the remaining dust cleared. Not only was the portal unstable, but the creature........ I'd piss myself if I was alone.
Nonon: What the fuck is that thing?!
Mikisugi: Something that needs to be killed quickly! Obviously. All units! Focus fire on that thing ASAP!
They begin to fire at it. But their bullets don't seem to slow it down.
Irina: Wait! It's a Hydra!
Xenovia: Wait what? How can you tell?
Irina: I've read about it in stories before. Their massive and have multiple heads.
Issei: What? I thought that was just a fairy tale?
Sirzechs: You won't find something like that in any normal book. The same can be said for all other fairy tales. Their all real.

Issei: Even bigfoot?
Sirzechs: Heh. Don't be ridiculous. That's just a mortal in a suit.
Xenovia: Okay, back in topic. How do we kill it Irina
Irina: We cut off it's heads. From what I've read before, if we cut off all their heads at once, it'll die.
Xenovia: Then, each one of us needs to get a head! If we can get into a position where each of us has a head's attention, we then strike!
Mikisugi: We'll try and stop it's movements by agitating it.
Issei: Then let's get to it!
With Mikisugi's gunners giving us the openings we need, we all rush in.
Xenovia: Alright everyone. We don't strike until we're all in position. And not a single one of us can mess up!
Inumuta: I can make some distractions to try and divide their attention. Only problem is that if one head is threatened too much, all of them will focus that one person.
Nonon: Then we need to all keep a constant agro on our own heads.
Sonia: Then let's get to it. No breaks. No time to rest. Get aggressive. And don't stop.
Rias: Noted. Get to work everyone!
Everyone runs around the beast and attracts their own head. I stay infront and take on the main head. I hope everything is going well on the other side.....
-----------------------------------------------------------
My back hits tree after tree before I slide across the ground. I try to get up, but my powers are starting to fail. Nothing's broken right now at least.
Viego: Don't think I'm finished!
I quickly roll out of the way, but only bearly. He crashed into the ground, causing an explosion. I'm sent flying again as I'm cratered into the side of the mountain. Through blurry eyes, I see Viego rush twords me. I grit my teeth and push myself out the rocks and fly upwards as he took my place. I feel a pain shoot through my heart as my vision gets worse. I feel myself falling before landing on the ground. Forcing myself up, Viego is walking twords me.
Viego: Do you kneel now? Do you see you cannot win.
(Y/N): No.....I can win.....I will win! I can-Ghhh!
I hold my stomach before coughing up some blood. My power is almost drained fully. I've been fighting this battle alone for a while now, using whatever leftover power I can muster. Come on body......
Viego: Just give up. You'll die before I can even take your body.
(Y/N): That would be a blessing compared to what you'd do.
I let my energy flair again, feeling my body physically start to burn from the inside. I only have one shot at this.....One last attempt....
-----------------------------------------------------------
Xenovia: Is everyone in position?
Nonon: I'm ready!
Rias: I'm sure everyone is. On your mark.
Xenovia: Alright everyone! Ready.....
I ready my blades as the head roars at me.
Xenovia: .......NOW!
I quickly run twords my head. It roars again and opens it's mouth while sending out orbs that are coming my way. I slash them before jumping ontop of one. I use it like a platform to jump to the others to get more air.
I hold up Durandal as it starts to glow with a gold light. I grab the handle with both hands and bring it down. With one clean strike, it's head falls off. As it hits the ground, it vanishes. It's body then glows before it breaks aparts and goes twords the portal. It starts to condense it until it's a spiral.
Irina: We did it!
Issei: Aw yeah! That shows them they can't mess with us!
Sonia: It's not over just yet. We still need (Y/N) to get out.
Mikisugi: Sorry to break up this conversation, but the portal looks unstable.
We look over, and he's right. It's sparking wildly, like it would collapse at any moment.
Xenovia: He's right. We've done all we can........Now we wait.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N): GHHHH!
As I was sent flying through the air, I get my balance and plant my feet into the ground which slows me.
Viego: Why won't you just DIE!
I can bearly lift my head, but I know he's approaching. I hold my hand up and catch his fist. I know he's exhausted as well. This is the opening I've been waiting for. I grip his hand harder as my body is forced back to normal. There's still a little juice left. I just need to bring it out.
(Y/N): ..... I'll....never die. Not by you, not by your monsters....and definitely not while I have people who care about me. I might just be a mortal. A human. Some random chick who doesn't have any special powers. But I'm strong! And I've proved that time and time again!
My body burst with energy as my hand moved from his fist to grab hold of his wrist.
(Y/N): I won't let you destroy the world I fought to keep safe!
I throw him into the air before going after him. He held his hands together and started firing energy beams my way.
Viego: JUST SHUT UP! YOUR NOTHING TO ME! NOTHING BUT A MORTAL!
(Y/N): Oh yeah? I'm sure I've heard that before.
I evade the attacks as I keep approaching him. The moment I'm above him, I hold my hand up as a beam of light appeared.
(Y/N): LET MY NAME BE REMEMBERED! 𝕀 𝔸𝕄 (𝕐/ℕ) (𝕃/ℕ)! 𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝕀 𝔸𝕄 "𝕋ℍ𝔼" 𝕄𝕆ℝ𝕋𝔸𝕃!
I put all of my energy into this attack as I bring it down. He held up his hand to make an energy field, but I slice right through it and him. His body starts to crack and break apart as light starts to come from his body. Then, in seconds, he explodes. I land back on the ground and fall to one knee. I can feel my body about to give out. But I can't. Not just yet.
I feel the ground quake as I get back to my feet. That's not good.
Ophis: (Y/N)!
I look up to see Ophis with Koneko.
Ophis: Is the deed done?
(Y/N): Yeah. What's going on?
Ophis: Well, I kinda found out what was keeping this place stable and..... I'll tell you outside.
(Y/N): Well then, let's get going.
She nods and takes off first. I go to follow, but stop and look around the area. The area scorched from the battle. My trident, broken to pieces. My Scissor Blades......snapped in half...... Senketsu........ I'll miss him. I'll miss all of it. But, it's for the better they all go down with this place. That way, nobody can try to use them again. For the better of the world.
Now finding my resolve, I run after Ophis. Jumping and running across falling trees to avoid the breaking ground. I have the portal in my sights as the ground starts to lower. I jump down and go through it....
Appearing on the other side, I roll across the ground as the portal collapsed on itself. I'm breathing heavily as all that fighting started to catch up with me. I hear people approaching.....but it's.....hard....
.....to.....
