Author's Note:And with that Chapter six is finished. To all my readers I wish a happy new year.

And now you may enjoy this chapter which, in my opinion, is quite action packed.

As previously leave a review if you liked it, have any questions or whatever else you may think of.

In case of any questions I will answer them as soon as possible.

The occult research club had spent the last week training in the underground facility of Logos. Naruto had increased his mental stamina and with it came an increased amount of ways to use his powers.

However after sparring with Rias once and loosing rather badly he realized that he would have a lot more work to do if he wanted to defeat Riser.

All of the members of the occult research club would help him improve until the day of his fight against Riser Phenex.

He had asked Rias what Riser was capable of doing and she told him that as a member of the Phenex Clan he was immortal. Furthermore Riser was capable of fast regeneration and powerful flame and wind magic.

Naruto doubted that he could match the high class devil in a direct match of power.

'Just good that I still have a lot of time to think how to approach the fight.' the blonde thought to himself with a sigh and went to pick his friends up

Unknown to them today things would be quite different however.

-Flashback-

One day ago, Location: Unknown, Local time: 8:30 am

Mikaeus fell to his knees as images flashed in front of his inner eye.

He saw a normal two story building inside a town in Japan. He saw the elevator moving downwards deep below the earth and a single word flashed in his mind 'Logos'.

Since he could remember Mikaeus had received these flashes of clairvoyance. He had always attributed them to God guiding his way telling him what to do and where to go. He never once doubted what he was shown. To him it was a sign that God favoured him and to repay that favour he strived to live life as a devout follower, following the teachings of the bible as best as he could.

He joined the church as early as he could eventually learning of the existence of devils, angels and fallen angels.

At first he just tried to rally followers behind his cause of eradicating the devils but soon that desire to erase all corruption from the world grew until anyone that came even a little bit in contact with devils was to be sentenced to death.

Not only did he kill the devils but those that accepted contracts with them as well.

Eventually he had been excommunicated from the church for his radical and extremist methods.

He had not been angry with the church for doing so, he simply decided that they weren't yet ready for the truth. That eventually they would come to realise that every cesspool of corruption on this world had to be erased from the face of the earth.

"What did God show you, Master Mikaeus?" Arthas asked the old man

Arthas had been an orphan that the church had taken in at a young age. His father had died at the hands of a demonic sword, called Frostmourne. He had been one of Mikaeus first followers and the one to follow him into excommunication.

"I saw the devil's den my children. God has shown me where the devil loving heathens are hiding." Mikaeus pulled himself from the ground and raised his voice so that the other three of the group could hear him" Our lord has given us his support for this endeavour. Thus we shall not fail!"

Roderick pulled his halberd from the ground and grinned in anticipation" We shall smite the sinners." he cheered, light gleaming from his halberd

Roderick had been a farmers boy when he discovered his Sacred Gear. He believed himself to be chosen by the heavens to fight as their champion against the bastions of the unholy.

To him his weapon was proof that God had elected him for something more than a regular person.

Once he met Mikaeus and Arthas as they moved across the world in an effort to rid the world of every bit of corruption he joined them in their mission.

"Where lies our goal, exalted Lunarch?" Sally asked their leader kneeling deeply in front of him

Sally had seen an angel at a young age and believed it to be a sign for her to follow on the righteous path of god. When she had found out her father had struck a deal with a devil, in the hopes of returning his dead wife and her mother to life, she had killed him so that he might not further stain the world with the devils corruptive influence and let her mothers soul stay amongst the heavens. Mikaeus had found her wandering aimlessly nearly starved. She saw her rescue as a sign of her Lord that she may continue to serve him.

"We will travel to Japan." the robed man stated and motioned for his followers to follow him" Come my followers we must make haste or the corruption will spread."

"Even the small seed of evil of a single person can corrupt a country." the hulking man spoke, his name was Boris

He had been a monk living in a monastery until Mikaeus and his three followers had visited asking for food and water.

Even though the man had been excommunicated they didn't let him and his followers hunger and thirst. They had supplied him with the things they needed and even given them shelter for the night.

Boris had tried to convince the man back then to turn from his path of bloodshed and seek a more peaceful one but instead the Lunarch had made him see the light, that their mission was indeed the right path.

From that day the five people had been called 'The Crusaders' among those that were well versed in the occult community. They had been called that because of their bloody and zealous ways that reminded everyone of the ways of the Crusaders of old.

Their insignia, a red flame, a flame of scarlet that was supposed to be represent the righteous fury that would burn all impurities away.

Not even a day later The Crusaders would arrive at the new logos facility.

-Flashback end-

Naruto entered the club room where everyone was already waiting for him to arrive.

"Hello, Naruto-kun." Rias greeted him cheerful smiling softly

"Hello, Rias-chan." he returned the greeting and felt someone pressing into him from behind" Hello to you too, Akeno-chan."

"Ara, ara. Why do you have to ruin my surprise, Naruto-kun?" she asked with a pout her voice holding a note of disappointment

"Perhaps if you hadn't done the exact same thing these last few days it would be more of a surprise." he noted with a hint of amusement and patted the white haired devil's head softly" Hello, Koneko-chan."

She looked up for a moment"Hello." she replied before getting back to munching on some sweets

"And hello Issei, Kiba and Asia-chan." he greeted the last three persons in the room"Ready for today?"

"You bet, Naruto." Issei said determined"Today I will beat you."

He had not only sparred with Rias during this last week but everyone except Asia since she wasn't a combat type person. But so far Issei hadn't managed to beat Naruto who actually knew what he was doing when fighting.

"We'll see about that." the blonde smirked confidently" Well then let's go everyone."

Meanwhile at the Logos facility

The Crusaders had received many odd looks while travelling through the city. Some had chalked them off as some kind of street performers travelling through the country and others thought they were cosplayers of some kind.

Finally they arrived at the Logos building" Here it is." the man raised his arms towards the building and spoke in a cold dangerous voice" Leave no one alive!"

The other four nodded and spoke in unison" As you command Master Mikaeus." they walked through the door and Arthas' shoulder was gripped by a black suited man.

"Halt you aren't allowed to be here." the first one spoke and Arthas grabbed the man's hand with his gloved one crushing it almost effortlessly" Do not touch me filthy devil lover."

The suited man gave a cry of pain before Arthas lifted his heavy war hammer, Light's Vengeance, and smashed the man's head into a bloody pulp.

Meanwhile Roderick had decapitated the other guardsman with his halberd.

The secretary Miranda shivered in fear and cried out in panic. She finally began to press the button to activate the intercom for the workplace down below to warn everyone.

"Stop her Sally!" Mikaeus shouted fiercely pointing at the woman with his wrinkled hand

The blond woman gave a shrill war cry as she lunged, light sword in hand, at Miranda and just before the sword punctured her throat she managed to bring out"INTRUDERS!" before that was followed by helpless gurgling and blood spilling from the hole left behind in her throat

"The sinners have been given more time to come to terms with their inevitable fate." Boris said with a stony expression

"It matters not if they accept it or don't, Boris." Roderick replied with a grin" In the end all sinners will burn in hell."

"Now let us get rid of the rest of them." the old man urged them and the group took the elevator down

In the lower levels panic had spread among the researches only Victor and Marcus remained cool headed.

"Alright everyone get down to the panic room you'll be safe there." Marcus called over the panicked murmurs of their co-workers who looked at him and nodded, realizing that he was right.

"Guards to us!" Victor called and about a dozen more men arrived to aid them" Everyone grab one of the light guns and target the elevator doors." the guards followed their instructions" As soon as the doors open, open fire."

Although Victor and Marcus were not fully trained soldiers they both knew how to use a gun and whoever dared to challenge Logos they would make them regret it.

After what felt like an eternity the elevator arrived and slowly the doors began to open, revealing a group of five humans.

'Humans?!' Victor thought in shock' Humans are attacking us? But why?'

The guards and the two founders opened fire at the group, showering the entrance with countless light bullets.

After the first wave of shots everyone present realized that the bullets impacted uselessly on some kind of wall or barrier.

At the back of the group of five the old man was gripping his prayer beads and muttering something under his breath.

"The weapon of no mere human shall penetrate the exalted Lunarch's barriers." Arthas spoke calmly

"You dare desecrated the holy weapons of the church with your filthy hands, devil lovers?!" Sally shrieked and pulled her shield from her back and ignited her own light based weaponry" You will pay for this travesty, scum!"

She charged towards the nearest guard and stabbed her sword through his heart before smacking the one next to him in the face with her shield sending him tumbling to the ground.

"Don't hog all the fun to yourself, Sally." Roderick complained and with inhuman agility decapitated two more before they even realized what was going on

More bullets flew towards the intruders and yet once again they failed to find their targets.

Boris grabbed one of the black suited man with his large hands, his hands glowing with light energy" Repent sinners." he commanded and crushed the man's skull in between his hands.

After seeing their comrades drop like flies the rest began to get demoralized, as they dropped their weapons.

"Those aren't humans they are monsters!" one of them screamed" No way can we beat them."

"You ally yourself with the devils and call us monsters?!" the Lunarch screamed in fury" The light shall burn you!"

A wave of light washed over the guard that had exclaimed those words and left a gaping hole in his chest.

He stared in shock down at himself before collapsing dead.

"Sinners, Heathens, Devil lovers you have been judged and found wanting." the old man spoke his voice bubbling with cold fury" God has forsaken you and made us your executioners. Today your souls will burn in hell for turning from the righteous path of the heavens."

"We really shouldn't have hired these guys, Marcus." Victor grumbled in anger

"I know, I know. I just didn't think we would be attacked this early or even at all." the engineer retorted sighing deeply" But the governments and their stupid bureaucracy." he complained angrily and mimicked a nasal voice" 'If you want to have undercover troops stationed for defence you need to fill our Form 28, 35 and 77. Your application shall be handled sometimes in the few weeks'." Marcus grumbled something unintelligible before cursing" God damn these fucking ass holes. I thought as a top secret internationally funded organization we would have some leeway with that shit."

"Do not speak the name of our Lord in vain!" Sally screamed in anger at hearing the brown haired man curse

She jumped towards him and Marcus wanted to roll out of the way but he was too slow 'What is this heavy pressure?' he thought to himself in shock' I should have been much faster than that.'

The blond haired crusader woman left a deep gash on his stomach that would have him bleed out if he didn't receive medical attention soon.

"Marcus!" Victor screamed in concern and glared at the woman" You son of a whore." he insulted her and pulled out a flash bang.

He actually wanted to test if the intense light of a flash bang had any adverse effects on devil's but he needed to get Marcus out of here and into the panic room.

He pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it into the air, rushing towards Marcus as fast as he could.

He kept his eyes closed as the bright flash went off but going by the cries of surprise from the five humans they didn't keep theirs shut.

He picked his injured friend up and rushed towards the elevator downstairs.

"They got away..." Roderick commented disappointed after he had regained his sight

"That is of no concern for us." the Lunarch answered having considerably calmed down" We'll get them soon."

Victor rushed with the injured man on his shoulders to the panic room which was on underground level six.

"Open up, Marcus is hurt." he called to his co-workers inside

"How do we know the intruders aren't with you?" one of them asked his voice filled with suspicion

"Because then I would be dead and couldn't talk to you. Now open up you paranoid moron." Victor spat angrily and the thick door opened and Victor rushed with the injured Marcus inside before the door closed again.

"Anything we can do to help?" one asked in concern

"I'm afraid not. We don't have the medical supplies here to take care of that kind of wound, we would have to bring him to a hospital or have Asia heal him." the russian scientist stated grimly

'Just get back here Naruto and take care of these guys'

The Crusaders stood outside in front of the room. Soon the sound of metal hitting metal could be heard. Many times the crusaders tried to brute force their way through the thick steel door, even the light spells of the old man didn't do much

'Ha, light just sucks for piercing anything that isn't flesh or thin wood and stone.' Victor inwardly grinned at their futile efforts, but also knew that they couldn't stay inside here forever

"What shall we do?" Arthas inquired from their leader who had his eyes closed

"God shall lead the way." the lunarch responded and a quick flash of pictures gave him a hint" There are four panels somewhere in the four levels above us find them and cut the blue wire."

'Shit, the fail safe.'Victor cursed inwardly

He had designed the fail safe in case the door of the panic room malfunctioned and it could be opened from the outside. Only Marcus and him had known about it though.

'So how did that old guy get to that information? Mind reading maybe...?'

"Will we die here after everything we've achieved?" one of the scientists asked and Victor responded in anger

"No, we wont! Remember 'For humanity!' that is our motto. We can pull this through. Naruto our greatest creation will take care of these supernatural terrorists."

They heard the old croaking voice of Mikaeus laughing on the other side even if it was muffled"Yes, despair sinners. Know that your hour is nigh and that even your friends that just entered can't safe you."

Victor realized that he must have meant Naruto and the other members of the Occult Research Club.

Meanwhile upstairs

As the seven stood outside of the building Koneko tensed up.

"What is it, Koneko?" Rias asked her rook who replied calmly" Danger."

"Yes, something is wrong here." Kiba noted and conjured his Holy Eraser

The group stormed into the building and saw the three dead bodies in the entrance hall.

Asia held her hand in front of her mouth, gasping in shock as she felt sick.

"What happened here?" Issei asked distressed

"I don't know." Naruto muttered and walked over to the counter where he saw the dead body of Miranda" But we are going to find out."

The computer in the entrance hall had access to the recordings of the video cameras in the whole upper building.

"Let's see..." Naruto turned the time line back fifteen minutes and saw how Miranda was just impaled by a woman with a light based weapon

Naruto looked up from the screen" It seems five people most likely exorcists, based on their weaponry, entered the building. And started killing everyone."

"That's horrible." Asia gasped" Why would they do such a thing?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Naruto stated in anger, hoping that Marcus and Victor were still alive.

The other six followed him and they arrived at the slaughter scene on the first underground level.

"Looks like there are no survivors here." the blonde said and went towards a computer that was still working

Since this computer was linked to the inner network and he had unlimited rights he could quickly access the cameras on the lower levels from this computer.

The cameras showed him that on each level blow them was one person and four of them were looking for something.

"Those guys are still here. One on each level below us."the blonde said

"Let's go kick their ass." Issei declared and called forth his sacred gear

The group entered the elevator, noting the blood on the floor of it and moved one floor down. The elevator door opened and they saw the large hulking man, Boris, walking, in apparent search of something, around the room.

"All right let's get out there and get rid of him together." Naruto suggested since it was stupid to not use their numerical advantage

"Don't worry I can take care of him alone, you go on ahead." Issei said and pushed the button for the next floor while rushing out of the elevator and into the room

"No, you idiot!" the blonde superhuman complained in anger

Issei wanted to prove himself to his friends and to himself that he had improved as well, foregoing any reason and rationality in approaching this fight

Naruto sighed in annoyance at such stupidity. Issei was a nice guy, aside from his over the top pervertedness but he wasn't blessed with the important smidgen intelligence.

"Don't be angry with him, Naruto-kun." Rias said and placed a hand on his shoulder to calm the blond" I think this serves well as a test for him."

Naruto resigned to the fact that he couldn't change things right now anyway.

Soon they arrived at the training room one floor below them. Inside the room was the girl of the group, she too was searching for something.

'What are they looking for?' Naruto asked himself since there were no real valuables in the facility

"Alright, let's take care of her together." Naruto stated and Koneko entered the room first

Kiba wanted to follow but when he tried to step out of the elevator a translucent barrier stopped him.

"A barrier spell." Akeno noted" Looks like a mixture of white magic and angelic spells."

The queen fired a bolt of lightning at the barrier, which impacted without significant effect.

"I would have to use a stronger attack to force my way through this." she stated" Or buchou would have do it."

Naruto shook his head knowing how destructive both of their magic's could get.

"Don't do it then. If you destroy the elevator we have no way of getting further down." Naruto warned her

"I trust you'll be able to take care of things, Koneko?" Rias asked her rook who responded in affirmative

"We'll likely only be able to fight them one at a time after all." Kiba said" That is if we don't beat whoever has placed those barriers there first."

The floors below this was a fairly wide corridor, to the side were rectangular rooms with a thick glass frames keeping the rooms and the hallway separated. These were supposed to be holding cells in case some kind of experiment went rampant or they actually had someone to interrogate.

Although Naruto doubted they would ever be needing those that often or maybe even at all.

Kiba left the room to face the brown haired halberd wielder.

Arriving on the next floor, which was a large empty arena used for testing larger weapons that couldn't be controlled in a smaller space, Naruto left the elevator to face the blond haired hammer wielder.

"Good luck Naruto-kun." Rias said as the elevator doors closed behind him once again

The King, Queen and Bishop arrived on the last floor. Where all that remained was the old man standing in front of the door to the panic room.

"I have been expecting you." he turned around and his eyes fell upon Rias" So you are the devils that have aligned themselves with these heretics?"

The red haired devil frowned" What of it? What gives you the right to kill anyone for that?" she demanded to know

"God has given me the mission to rid the world of corruptive filth like you." Mikaeus spoke with utter conviction" Tempting good people into making deals with you. Spreading your evil over the world like a cancerous growth. Tell me how many men and women have you seduced into damnation with that body of yours? And how many more must fall prey to it?"

"Akeno, I want you to keep Asia safe." Rias ordered her voice boiling with rage

"Of course, buchou." the black haired queen answered and pulled the bishop closer to her

'What a foolish person, angering Rias.'

"You dare to accuse me of whoring myself out to have gained my peerage? To think I have gained the loyalty of my followers in the bedroom?" she questioned the old man in rage as the aura of her destruction magic surrounded her like a whirlwind

"Come one blast me into oblivion, devil of the Gremory Clan. But know that you will be dragging all those innocent people behind that door with me." the old man warned her

Rias calmed down' He is right. I could simply blast him to bits but I would kill everyone else as well.'

The old man laughed" How nice of you to hold back in consideration of the humans behind that door." he mocked her and shot a wave of light at her"You may hold back but I will eradicate you dirty devil."

Rias blocked the old man's attack and shot a blast of her own magic at him, which he blocked with a barrier.

'If I can't use enough power I won't get through his barriers.' she thought to herself in dismay

Meanwhile the four others were fighting their fights as well.

Issei was facing the hulking man called Boris.

"Hey, tower man. I'll take you down for killing all those people here." Issei proclaimed and charged at the hulking man who turned around to face him

"So young and already infected with the devils taint." Boris stated with a hint of disappointment"But all sinners will be punished equally."

"I am not tainted!" Issei responded angrily and jumped at the large man, intent on hitting him with his gloved fist but the towering man struck him with his glowing palm straight in the chest.

Not only did his fist actually hurt him it burned like the light of angels.

Issei clutched his burning stomach the word 'Boost' echoing through his mind telling his that he was now twice as powerful

"That is what everyone tainted by the devils corruption would say." Boris answered and took hulking steps towards the sacred gear wielder"That one such as you was one of god's chosen...makes me sick."

The large man accelerated and reached a speed that completely betrayed his large frame.

Both of his fists ignited with light he threw a punch towards Issei, who met the attack head on by throwing his own fist.

But with the momentum and the larger frame on his side Boris batted Issei into a nearby heap of scrap.

'Boost.' now four times as powerful Issei sprung back into action and charged at the large man once more.

He ducked under the man's first punch and retaliated by striking the man's torso. The large man grunted slightly once the attack connected but stood his ground, almost unfazed.

"Your devilish strength can not cause my faith in the lord to falter." Boris retorted and grabbed Issei around the throat, the light burning his skin causing the brown haired boy to claw at the man's hand trying to loosen his grip"Experience the last moments of your pathetic life. Your devilish ways will end today."

'Boost.' Issei kept trying to get out of the hold of the man, but kept being unsuccessful 'Wait! If I promote I could get out of here.' he realized and tried to activate his piece special ability,but found that he could not' Oh no!' he realized in horror' I forgot to ask, buchou for permission to promote and since I am not on enemy territory I can't.'

He desperately kicked the man trying to somehow get rid of the choke hold the man had on him.

'Boost'

Slowly he began to loose conscious from lack of air. Would that be the end of him?

'But then I'll never be able to reach my dream as a Harem King!'

'Boost!'

Finally with thirty two times his original power he effected the large man with his thrashing as he gave a heavy push with both his legs at the same time.

Boris was grunted in pain as he had to drop the brown haired boy, clutching his stomach in pain.

"Where are you getting your strength from?" Boris heaved out as Issei gasped for air

"The tables have turned." Issei declared and threw a punch at the still recovering man, throwing him to the ground.

Issei walked over to the man and picked him up by his legs"Time for some merry go round!" Issei said with a smirk and started spinning on the spot before throwing the man into the wall, destroying some of the tables and machinery in flight' I hope Marcus-san forgives me for destroying his machinery.'

'Boost'

Issei received his next boost and suddenly he stopped in pain as he coughed up blood.

'I guess Marcus was right. I can't handle getting continuously boosted like that.' Issei thought and dragged himself to the large man who was trying to stand up' But how should I beat him in such a short time?'

He then spotted the universal testing machine Kiba had told him about. He said Marcus had used the machine to test the durability of his swords.

He hauled Boris' body into the machine.

"Let's hope this works." he pressed his hand on the machine

'Transfer' the voice of the sacred gear went through his mind and suddenly the machine, without any warning, started up.

"N-no..." Boris stuttered out in desperation"P-please save me, my Lord!"

And amplified through the boosted gear Boris upper body was crushed into a bloody puddle by billions newton of force exerted upon his body.

Suddenly the machine beeped in warning and short circuited a small cloud of black smoke hanging over it.

Issei fell back sitting on the ground in exhaustion, before the gruesome realisation that he killed a human and in what kind of way hit him causing Issei to empty his stomach on the ground in sickness.

One floor below Koneko was fighting against Sally.

"Where is this panel?" Sally asked herself as she looked everywhere around the room, when a punching back impacted against her back throwing her to the ground" Who dares to attack me?" she demanded enraged and pulled her light sword and shield from their holdings.

Sally spotted Koneko, who had a rather heavy weight in her hands ready to be thrown at her.

"A filthy devil girl dares to harm me?" she said and jumped towards Koneko intent on cleaving her in half but the little girl remained impassive as she chucked the heavy metal weight at her opponent who sliced the metal handle letting the weight pass her without harm.

While Koneko wasn't incredible fast as a rook she did out speed a normal human. With her face as emotionless and unreadable as usual she ran towards her opponent who brought her shield up to defend herself and readied herself for a counter attack. Except that Koneko delivered an earth shattering punch against the shield and sent the blond haired woman flying into the training equipments, causing the woman to cry out in pain.

As Sally had pulled herself up, despite her bruises, the white haired devil was already upon her and sent her flying with another punch to her stomach, the force of which caused the blond woman puke. Once the crusader was done she glared at Koneko"You will regret this." she threatened, her voice hoarse, as she readied herself for an attack but she wouldn't get a single attack in as Koneko's fists impacted with the taller woman's face sending her crashing into the wall of the room, the impact against which breaking her neck.

"Weak." Koneko muttered impassively

Meanwhile Kiba had to fight the battle crazed Roderick.

The halberd wielder was smashing things left and right in search of something.

Kiba said nothing and disappeared in a blur of speed the black blade of his Holy Eraser cutting the air as he slashed at his opponents turned back.

With agility far beyond anything a normal human should be capable of the brown haired zealot dodged out of the way.

Roderick grasped the shaft of his weapon with both hands one to the upper end and one on the lower.

"I shouldn't have expected anything else from a filthy devil." Roderick spat in disgust and aligned his weapon parallel to the ground

"Why should I give someone that has killed innocent humans a warning before striking?" Kiba retorted amusedly

"Innocent?" Roderick laughed out loud" Hardly. They consorted with your kind. That makes them sinners of the highest order. For that we sent their souls to hell where they belong."

Kiba disappeared once more with superhuman speed and slashed down at his opponents back.

Roderick backflipped over Kiba and stabbed the sharp end of his weapon towards the blond haired devil.

Kiba rolled out of the way and swung at the point where Roderick would land only to meet the steel of the boys weapon, as he used the halberd to block the swing.

'How is he so fast?' Kiba asked himself 'He is much too fast for a regular human.'

"The look on your face is telling me you are surprised." the brown haired boy seemed to delight in Kiba's confusion" So let me indulge you in the special effect of my Sacred Gear, Heaven's Halberd. This weapon is not only ridiculously light, but it boosts it's owners agility to a point where I can even keep up with a devil like yourself."

He then grinned viciously"Now it's my turn to attack."

Roderick blurred out of sight and swung his halberd down at Kiba's head, which the blond blocked with his sword's flat side and pushed the halberd back up before taking a slash at the boys exposed midriff.

Kiba had landed behind the brown haired boy and sheathed his sword, thinking the fight to be over when he heard chuckling from behind him as the sharp pain of being stabbed passed through Kiba's body.

Red blood dripped from a stab wound on Kiba's left side, which he clutched in pain.

'How?' Kiba was confused the attack should have cut his opponent in half but there he stood undamaged a smug grin on his lips as he stared at the blood dripping from the tip of his weapon

"I never said that boosting my agility was the Heaven's Halberd only power did I?" Roderick laughed in amusement" Any weapon that has been touched by my sacred gear is incapable of harming me. You can't beat me with your swords."

Kiba pulled his blade out of it's sheath once more and started blocking Roderick's relentless assault. The brown haired zealots attacks grew more vicious by the minute and Kiba could only barely keep up with blocking and dodging with his injury.

"Stop dodging my attacks you useless piece of shit." Roderick snarled in frustration"Just die, filthy devil. Die, DIE, DIE!"

'This guy would be perfect for Akeno or buchou to face.' Kiba thought to himself and he now wished that his proficiency in using magic was better' Maybe that'll work...'

He threw his sword, which was easily batted aside, at Roderick" Getting desperate?" the crazed boy asked" I like that."

Kiba created a new holy eraser using his own sacred gear, Sword Birth.

"A filthy devil desecrating the gift of god?!" Roderick asked now visibly enraged as he gritted his teeth" For this blasphemy you will die in the slowest and most agonizing manner I can imagine!"

Kiba charged at Roderick and stabbed his sword towards the boy who thrust his halberd towards the devil.

'With my longer reach I should be impaling him without him even getting to touch me with such a straight up frontal assault.' Roderick laughed inwardly only for that feeling of giddiness inside of his to disappear when his halberd struck air.

Suddenly, as he felt a sharp pain in his chest area, he noted that Kiba was much further to the left and then he previously had been' But I didn't see him move?' Roderick asked himself in confusion as his pierced heart gave out

"If he hadn't been so focused on killing me he would have noticed how I cast that illusion on him when I threw the sword." Kiba laughed before wincing in pain because of his wound" Asia should be able to fix this without a problem at all."

Lastly Naruto had to face Arthas. Naruto took aim at the fellow blond across the room and fired a shot from his light gun. Arthas in his heavy armour tried to dodge but was unable to do so completely, however the armour repelled most of the damage the shot dealt and instead of piercing Arthas he was simply hit with light concussive force.

The blond turned around and gazed at Naruto" You could have probably shot through my unprotected head and yet you didn't." he noted calmly and took his weapon, Light's Vengeance,into both his hands.

"Although I would love to kill you right now, someone of your group has to answer a few questions after this is over. Because I don't think my friends will leave a lot for them to do that." Naruto answered and fired two more shots which Arthas dodged with a swift roll" Because you shouldn't even have known about any of this."

Arthas chuckled" Master Mikaeus has been given the gift of knowledge by god himself. He has revealed your devious machinations to us and we will eradicate all those that are fraternizing with the devils."

With weapon in hand Arthas charged at Naruto who fired more and more shots at the juggernaut, but his weapons lost too much power trying to penetrate the plate mail.

Soon Arthas had nearly closed the gap and Naruto noted that his opponent seemed somehow faster than before.

As the other blond swung his hammer down, Naruto realized what was wrong 'It's not him that's faster than before. I'm slower!'

Even if he had superhuman speed it would do him no good if it had been reduced to normal human levels.

As the large hammer edged closer Naruto barely managed to jump out of the way and avoid being squished into a pulp by the weapon.

After having dodged the attack Naruto ran backwards, while firing shots at the hammer wielding opponent to slow him down.

"It seems you realize the effects of my Lights Vengeance." Arthas noted without any special inflection in his voice" While my defensive abilities are slightly boosted it's actual power lies within the Aura it creates. Anyone except myself and those that I consider my allies who are within this field get slowed down."

True to the man's words he felt like he was moving underwater or through jelly.

As Arthas edged closer Naruto emptied his two guns while trying to make some space between him and the armoured fighter.

The blond superhuman reloaded and started throwing blasts of force towards Arthas, who was only mildly held back by that.

"I do not know what kind of tricks you are pulling but they wont help you." Arthas claimed and increased the pace at which he was moving

In the end it was a dull stalemate, as long as Naruto didn't aim to kill Arthas he could not harm him.

'Time for some more fire power:' he gathered his powers and flung bolts of lightning at his opponent getting a reaction out him.

As the bolts of electricity impacted against the metal of the armour Arthas let out a cry of pain as the lightning surged through his body and burned his skin.

"You wont defeat me." Arthas said through gritted teeth and an aura of power surrounded him 'What is he doing?' Naruto asked himself in confusion

"Balance Break: Guardian Angel."A white light enveloped the wielder of Light's Vengeance who looked visibly at ease.

"Your life will now be forfeit." Arthas declared and charged with murderous intent at the younger blond

Naruto started flinging more lightning at the sacred gear user who completely ignored his attacks.

The blond switched to fire and threw searing hot blasts of fire that should have scorched Arthas skin but instead it had no effect whatsoever.

'That's impossible...' Naruto thought as he kept his distance between himself and Arthas' Just good that he is this slow this gives me enough time to think of something because I can't keep blindly firing things that have no effect at him.'

"You should just surrender. You will tire yourself out before I will." the armoured fighter stated calmly and kept chasing the blond" It wont matter what you do my body is invincible against your physical attacks."

'I have just one chance. I just hope this works.' Naruto concentrated on that cold feeling of his powers and inwardly gathered it for an attack' Now to lock on to the target.'

Naruto extended his senses and searched for the other blond's aura. His thoughts were burning with blind faith.

"Let's just hope there is enough of your mind left after this as I haven't yet tested this attack." Naruto stated and fired a blast of concentrated mental power at Arthas

"You can't harm..." Arthas began but suddenly froze up as blood dripped out his nose, eyes rolling back into his head and foam was gathering on his lips before he keeled over on the ground, the large hammer impacting with a loud clank

Naruto walked over to the blond and checked for a pulse" Well at least he is still alive. The question is in what state will he wake up or if he will wake up at all."

Since Arthas had been impervious to all his attacks that aimed for his body he aimed for his mind.

After learning how to gather his mental energy into a raw form he theorized that it would attack the mind of a person but he never had someone to test it on for the potentially disastrous effects it could have.

He didn't even know how well it would work on any supernatural being but at least it seemed to work well enough on humans.

Back with Rias on the last level.

While Rias couldn't harm the old man for fear of obliterating anyone behind the door he stood in front of he couldn't hurt her either for it was easy to simply obliterate the light he was using to attack her.

Suddenly realized what she should have done all along.

'I have so long relied on my destruction magic that I forgot that I could fight him in physical combat as well.' Rias scolded herself for realizing this just now

She charged at the old man and obliterated his attacks while moving towards him before punching him straight in his face, breaking the man's nose.

"How 'are 'ou?(How dare you?)" he mumbled incoherently"He ight all urn ou!(The light shall burn you!)"

"Say your last prayers old man." she said standing over the downed form of the old man, gathering her destruction magic

"GOD!GOD! 'ELP ME!(Help me!)" he screamed in desperation before being consumed by the destructive magic his body completely eradicated and with it the barriers vanishing

"Is he gone?" she heard muffled from behind the door

"Yeah, he is gone. You can come out now." Rias replied and the door opened revealing the pale form of Marcus who had lost even more blood

"Quick Asia get over here and heal him." Rias ordered her Bishop

"Yes, buchou." the blond girl replied and rushed over to the downed form of Marcus who was shivering in cold

"Thank god you are finally here." Victor stated relieved and observed how Asia began healing his friend

Meanwhile Rias spoke to her Queen "Go and collect the others, Akeno."

"As you wish, buchou."

She activated her Twilight Healing and started to mend the man's wound, until it was closed.

"He still has lost a lot of blood." Victor stated concerned" He needs to go to a hospital and get a blood transfusion. But at least he wont loose any more blood."

In the aftermath of the assault, Marcus had been brought into a hospital where he received a blood transfusion and would be kept for far longer than needed as the doctors wanted to observe him.

After all it wasn't very usual that someone arrived with severe blood loss at the hospital without having any discernible wound inside or outside of the body.

Everyone else of the Occult Research Club had been healed by Asia and Naruto had thrown the still unconscious form of Arthas into one of the holding cells, hoping that he would regain his consciousness soon so that he could be interrogated.
