God Succession System 86 Dragon Eater

The being on the cross let out another moan while they all took in its pathetic appearance. It's top half was like a Fallen angel, while its bottom half was that of a eastern dragon. It was bound by various restraints and had nails plunged into its flesh all over its body.

As they all took in the appearance of Samael, it's aura washed over them, causing several people to shudder in revulsion. Alex could feel even Ddraig practically shuddering inside him, and Lauren was warning him not to be stupid in this fight. Azazel turned to Cao Cao and said,

"I can't believe you actually released him, and that death G.o.d also partic.i.p.ated in this!" As he said the hero faction could only release Samael with the cooperation of Hades, so his involvement was undeniable. As they were talking Alex started boosting his sacred gear, but Cao Cao ignored this, confident in his victory now that they revealed Samael.

"We humans would have to at least go this far to fight the terrifying beings like dragons that terrorize us, and of course lord Hades allowed us to use him, with heavy restrictions. With this infinite with finally become finate, eat her." At his order Samael's tongue shot out, but at that moment Alex stopped boosting and transferred everything he saved to Ascalon.

The sword shone with a light as never before and cracks formed along its surface from the immense power, as he sliced at the tongue. Its defenses resisted for a brief second, then amazingly broke through and severed the tongue, bathing the sword and showering Alex in his blood.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Alex screamed in pain, as the poison ate away at his armor instantly and penetrated his skin. It entered through his pores and instantly started traveled through his body, causing his entire body intense pain at the same time. As this happened everyone watched stupefied, before Asia rushed to his side with tears forming in her eyes, but she didn't say anything and simply started healing his wounds. Vali turned towards Cao Cao and at the same time as Azazel and shouted,

""BALANCE BREAK!""

While Vali was covered in his white armor, Azazel became covered in his golden armor. As the two prepared for battle everyone else also started to get ready, and Cao Cao smiled and said,

"One is down, so the other heavenly dragon, Governor General of the fallen angels, members of valid team, the Gremory team, and a full power Ophis, I don't know if I should be overjoyed at this fight or concerned. However I shouldn't be holding back here should I? BALANCE BREAK!" At Cao Cao's words seven orbs formed around him and started flying around. While Asia was trying, and failing, to heal him Alex struggled to get out,

"Be careful of those orbs, one can break weapons, make things fly, redirect attacks, and another can stop the attacks of women' that's all I know though." He recalled only those attacks from the original series, Cao Cao was able to fly thanks to one, Xenovia had to have ex-durandal repaired, Kuroka took Vali's attack while protecting Koneko, and the last one was just stupidly specific. Cao Cao looked surprised at Alex knowing his balance breakers abilities, but decided to fight anyways.

While all of this was going on Ophis was looking at Alex with even more intensity. He had protected her not once, but twice, and got hurt doing so both times. This was unusual to her, as well as other two who played cards with her. She didn't care about the fight because she could win if she decided to, but that one thing on the cross was weird. She decided to help Alex after he got hurt, and stepped forward.

"I will help you." Was all she said as she placed her hand on his body. Alex suddenly felt strength returning to him, but the effects of Samael's poison were still there, as even though Ophis was a G.o.d she was a dragon so she was unable to do anything about it. As Alex stood he looked around the battlefield. The orbs looked the same so even if he told them their abilities it was nearly impossible to tell which one did what.

The girls stayed to the back line, to avoid having their attacks being stopped, and Azazel, Vali, and Kiba took the front. Azazel was tying up Samael so that it didn't attack Vali, while he and Kiba attacked Cao Cao. Kiba was doing the direct fighting with Cao Cao, while Vali was keeping the orbs occupied. When he saw Alex getting up Cao Cao sneered, and said,

"Time to go Georg, Hades wants to get Ophis, well let him take things from here. Let's see them take on an army of grim reapers, and let's bring Seig here as well. Can you replicate the transfer magic?" Georg nodded and said,

"I'll need a second because I only saw it once, but it should be doable." Cao Cao nodded, then smiled evilly. His spear shot forward and impaled Azazel from the side, resulting in him falling to the ground as his blood sprayed everywhere. Then instead of blocking he simply dodged all of Kiba's attacks. Vali grew furious and tried to get revenge, but with Samael being freed of Azazel's interference it sent out another attack at Vali and easily defeated him.

The girls launched a volley of attacks at them, but they were all eliminated, except Rias's which was sent back at Asia and Irina. Everyone was surprised at that moment as Ophis stepped forward and intercepted the attack. It didn't hurt her, but they were all shocked she helped them. As Cao Cao was about to attempt to leave a ripple appeared, and Shalba Beezlebub appeared while holding onto Leonardo, and a army of grim reapers appeared behind him. Before Cao Cao could say anything he disappeared and was replaced by Seig, who didn't seem to understand the current situation. Before anyone could speak, Shalba spoke up,

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I have come to take the heads of the heavenly dragons!"

Everyone was stupefied at his words, and before they could react he brought forward Leonardo, who was currently under his control. Using a ominous magic circle the boy screamed, as he was forced to use balance breaker and his shadow expanded. What appeared was the ma.s.sive head of a monster, and it was followed by several more smaller monsters before they disappeared into a magic circle made by Shalba. He then declared,

"This is my gift to the underworld, complete and utter annihilation!" He then turned to the fallen Vali and Alex standing a little ways away.

"And now for the two of you!" Behind him the army of grim reapers readied themselves, and Seig, and Georg quietly collected Leonardo and left. Alex looked at the fallen body of Vali, and Azazel, and he said to the others,

"Leave, Ophis helped with my strength so I'll deal with things here, this s.p.a.ce also won't last much longer so get out and help those two!" They didn't say anything, but looked at him in concern. When Kuroka went forward to collect Vali, Shalba tried to stop her, but Alex shot forward and grabbed his arm.

"No you don't!" He then kicked the insane devil, and sent him flying back. Even though he said he'll take care of things he was still weakened by Samael's poison. Using these few seconds they collected the injured ones, and as they left Rias turned back to him and said,

"Come back to me." Alex looked back at her and replied,

"Always."

He then turned to the opponents in front of him. After everyone left he suddenly heard a voice behind him,

"Should I help as well?" He turned in surprise and saw Ophis still there behind him. He then demanded,

"You're the one they want, what are you still doing here?!" She simply looked at him and replied,

"You got hurt protecting me, and are fighting because they want me, I simply want to help." Alex waved away her words and said,

"It's what friends do so don't worry about it."

"Friends?" She tilted her head and looked confused.

Alex didn't pay attention to her though and turned back to the army in front of him. They rushed him, so Alex spammed ki attacks and dragon G.o.d breath attacks. As he eliminated some of them they started being a bit more wary, and he started a bunch of boosts.

He breathed out a super powered flame breath, that incinerated large amounts of the army and melted even the ground and buildings around them. Ophis looked around as she took in the power of the current red dragon. As most of the army was destroyed Shalba appeared once more.

"d.a.m.n you! I wanted Vali's head, but I suppose just one of you will warm for now." He then shot out a large amount of magic arrow attacks at Alex, who also threw a destructo disk at him. Shalba's eyes widened in fear as he was sliced right down the middle from head to crotch, and cut into two. As he died his attacks. .h.i.t Alex, including several that were coated in Samael's poison.

By this point the rest of the grim reapers had fled, and Alex fell to the ground as he was once more poisoned. He cursed his own stupidity for letting things get to this point, and swore to destroy Hades after this. He could feel the pain once more spreading in his body, and started to meditate like Wukong showed him. He tried to maneuver the poison and isolate it so that he could remove it later. As he did so Ophis approached him, and the s.p.a.ce continued to collapse.

"Are you going to be ok?" She asked him with a small amount of concern. Alex smiled and said,

"Of course, I just need to focus for a bit. Say Ophis, instead of returning to the dimensional gap why not just stick with us?" She looked confused at his question, and asked,

"Why would I do that?" Alex replied,

"Because it wouldn't be as lonely, and we could be your friends." She started contemplating this words and said,

"You said I was your friend earlier, what does that mean?"

"It means we could talk to each other, eat snacks, and play games together, like before." She considered for a moment and said,

"I would like that." Alex smiled again, then said,

"Ok let's do that, but now I need to focus due to the poison in me. Please promise me that you won't fight anyone that doesn't wish to harm us." He knew great red would appear any moment, and needed to make sure he wasn't destroyed in their fight. Ophis nodded and said,

"I won't fight, I promise." Alex nodded and started his meditation, trying to isolate the poison in his body.

Ophis didn't know what else to do, but the place around them was fading so she sat in his lap like she saw some of the girls in the dorms do. She sat there and waited as he tried to fight the poison in his body, even though she could feel his life fading as the poison destroyed him from the inside. At that moment the s.p.a.ce collapsed and she looked up to see a giant red dragon.

(A.N. I realize this entire scene probably feels like a mess, trust me there were a lot of technical things that were hard to shorten, as i didn't want to spend like ten chapters on this one scene.
