Child Of God

"Stop! This doesn't have to end like this. Let's talk! Whatever you want, we can give it to you!" Rias pleaded desperately as to not see the love of her life die in front of her eyes. But her words fell on deaf ears. Hanc.o.c.k delivered a kick to Issei's lower abdomen and he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

"What I want is that boy's death. If you don't want that to happen, you are gonna have to kill me. And then after you've killed me you're gonna have to kill him as well." Hanc.o.c.k gestured toward Acnoloia with her thumb.

Rias was in a state of deep panic, she had to make a decision before Issei would lose his life. "Fine!" She said. Rias summoned bullet sized balls around her and pumped them full with destruction magic. Her peerage, her followers of her also got ready to fight. They were ready to fight and now they only waited for Rias command to jump into the heat of battle.

Suddenly a mighty bloodl.u.s.t attacked Rias and her peerage. The sheer intensity of the bloodl.u.s.t was enough to take away their ability to breath. Rias and the Akeno were the only ones that still stood on their feet. Her entire peerage except Akeno got knocked unconscious by the wave of bloodl.u.s.t that was released.

"None shall interfere in this battle." Acnologia was much taller then Rias and Akeno, so when they looked upon him with his bloodl.u.s.t released it was truly like they were staring at a massive mountain that couldn't be conquered.

"Continue!" He said and looked at Hanc.o.c.k to also make sure that she focuses on the fight and not at taunting pathetic creatures like the red-haired woman that he had already forgotten the name of.

Hanc.o.c.k looked at Issei who laid on the ground in front of her in his own pool of blood. "For someone who possesses a powerful dragon soul, I expected at least a little more than this." She pressed down with her heel on his c.h.e.s.t, and in a slow manner, she started increasing the pressure she was applying. He was screaming out in pain since having someone pierce your c.h.e.s.t with a heel wasn't the most pleasant experience you could think of.

Rias and Akeno looked on with desperation, and with tears streaming down their faces they stared at Hanc.o.c.k's heel that was slowly digging deeper into Issei's c.h.e.s.t. They wanted to move and absolutely rip Hanc.o.c.k apart, but under the gaze of Acnologia, they simply couldn't find the strength to move.

Hanc.o.c.k looked very satisfied as her heel dug into issei's c.h.e.s.t and his warm blood streamed out from his c.h.e.s.t. She suddenly stopped and took out her heel from his c.h.e.s.t, she bent down and got really close to his face, and said, "This is what happens to braindead perverts that step out of line." She looked up at Rias and made sure that eye contact was established between them. And when she met Rias gaze she wrapped her arms around Issei's head and his nose was now only inches away from touching her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

"Say goodbye!" Hanc.o.c.k spoke softly into Issei's ear and with one smooth motion, she snapped his neck. Rias and Akeno stopped struggling against Acnologia's pressure the moment the snapping sound rang out. They lost all movements, they simply laid there on the ground with tears running like a waterfall down their faces, unable to comprehend what just happened.

"You sure took your time enjoying that. Maybe you're the pervert." Acnologia said lazily while looking at Hanc.o.c.k. None of these events had faced him, he was ruthless and cold-blooded so he was mostly annoyed that Hanc.o.c.k took so long to kill the boy. Acnologia never played around like this, when he sought to kill someone, he kills them immediately, no bullshit.

"He was pretty much undressing me with his gaze so I was just setting an example for all the other boys around the universe," Hanc.o.c.k said proudly.

"Whatever, I don't care" Acnologia held out his hand towards Issei's dead body and from the boy's c.h.e.s.t appeared a red-coloured fire that was shaped like a diamond. This was the dragon soul that the beings from this world had weaponized for their own use.

"H-Hello Father!" A deep growling yet powerful voice sounded out from the diamond sized soul. There was clear nervousness in that voice, something that even Rias and Akeno could hear.

"Do you want a body?" Acnologia looked at the soul. His gaze alone put massive pressure on the soul of Ddraig.

"What do you mean, Father? My body was destroyed a long time ago by the three factions." Ddraig said slowly, trying not to get his hopes up. More than anything in the world, he wanted his body back but he refused to get his hopes up since creating an entirely new body wasn't something that one could do easily.

"When it comes to our race, everything had their origin with me. Creating a body for you is nothing difficult at all." Acnologia saw the little soul flare up for a second, most likely a representation of Ddraig's excitement and anticipation.

"If it is like you said Father, then my answer is yes. Please grant me my body back, there is nothing I want more in the world." Ddraig's soul flared up like a powerful and mighty flame at the realization that his dream was about to come true.

"There is a catch though. And if you agree to it we will go and craft your body immediately." Acnologia had a wicked smile on his face, and Ddraig starting feeling that nervousness builds up again.

"I am in need of a new knight. Basically a personal assistant, and you should understand what I'm trying to get at here." His words sent a shiver of fright through the soul hovering over his palm.

"E-Eh... What would happen if I said no?" Ddraig was terrified to even ask the question.

"Death is the most likely outcome. Not that I would kill you myself, but as a soul, you can't do much, can you? So you would probably die pretty quickly."

"I understand. But since this is such an important job, can I make a request before agreeing to anything?" Ddraig said carefully.

"Sure!" Acnologia had nothing against granting small favours, especially if he got his new knight in a result of it.

"How about getting an additional knight? I mean if something were to happen to me you wouldn't need to go looking for another one since you would have already had two." Ddraig said nervously.

"Interesting, go on!" Acnologia said and started to seriously ponder on the matter.

"I have a... Rival of sorts. I just know he would love this position. He would see this as the greatest and highest honour, Father." Ddraig sounded sincere in his voice. But on the inside, he was smiling like an evil mastermind. 'If I am going down I'm taking you with me, Albion. No way I'm allowing you to be out here with that awesome host while I am forced to be an assistant. No way!'

"I see. Two knights. That could certainly be nice." Acnologia said casually.

"His name is Albion and he is trapped inside a host as well. And I believe he hates his host so I'm sure he would be very grateful about being set free." Ddraig was smiling evilly on the inside, and just the thought of Albion's face when Acnologia would come for him put a bright shining smile on Ddraig's non-existent face.

"What you believe or not makes no difference in this. The only thing that matters is whether I want this Albion to become my knight. And since I like the idea of that, we will go and look for him after we craft your body. That's assuming you accepted becoming my knight?" Acnologia looked at the scared floating little soul that was hovering inches above his palm.

"Y-Yes, I accept," Ddraig spoke, and you couldn't really hear any emotions in his voice.

"Good. Hanc.o.c.k, you get the privilege to decide their fate." Acnologia gestured towards Rias and her followers.

"Rias dies. The rest I couldn't care less about." Hanc.o.c.k walked over to the woman that looked like she had lost her soul. Rias laid there on the ground completely still, nothing could be seen in her eyes, she had just become an empty shell of her previous self when Issei died.

Hanc.o.c.k bent down and cupper Rias chin with her hand, "She has lost herself in sadness and despair. And the rest of them doesn't seem to be doing so much better. Killing them now would be showing mercy upon them." Hanc.o.c.k squeezed Rias chin a little harder still.

"So you know what. I'm gonna let you all live because the thought of you living in this state for many years to come simply brings a smile upon my face." Hanc.o.c.k released Rias and started walking over back to Acnologia and Ddraig. But as she walked away she heard Rias weak and meagre voice echo out behind her.

"Issei..." Rias stared into the empty void, most likely not even aware that she was speaking out loud.

"This is absolutely pathetic. You lose one subordinate and you become like this. What sort of leader are you? I doubt you're the good kind, and I bet money on that Maleficent's left pinky has more charisma and courage than you." Hanc.o.c.k stood facing Rias and spit these words in her face without remorse.

"I-I don't know who this Maleficent is. But Rias and Issei were a couple and she loved him more than anything in the world. If I may ask, what would this Maleficent do if someone killed the one she loved, would her reaction not be similar to this?" Ddraig said nervously, trying very hard not to offend. But he has some positive feelings towards this group of devils, and he just didn't enjoy hearing Hanc.o.c.k's cruel words.

"Absolutely not!" Acnologia answered with a chill going up against his spine, "Let's not speak about what she would do if that happened. Let's just say, most of the existence we live in and know of would probably be erased. And I don't wanna think about what would happen to that poor soul that was stupid enough to take away the one she loves."

"The point is. She wouldn't break down like this," Hanc.o.c.k pointed at Rias, "She would go after the one responsible with everything she has. As the leader of this group she is the one that can't become like this, she is the one that needs to make sure that they can get through this together." Hanc.o.c.k turned away from Rias and completed her walk back to Acnologia's side.

"Let's go, this place is becoming more and more depressing by the second," Hanc.o.c.k said and Acnologia nodded since he agreed that looking at these kids made his mood worsen.

"I know where we can craft his body follow me." Acnologia ripped open a small tear in space and on the other side was what looked like an endless void of chaotic space.

"That's an interesting place." Hanc.o.c.k covered her body with a thin but powerful layer of her bright red fire. And after she was done she followed Acnologia inside that place where very few people in this world would even dare thinking of going to.
