Strongest in DxD - Chapter 52

But Ren wouldn't do that, he wanted to beat Okita with his sheer skill, which wasn't impossible for Ren.

While both exchanged blows at high speed Okita could see the improvement of her master.

If at first he could barely react and could only defend himself, but now he also attacked, Okita realized that a dark aura was around his master, it was the power of the [Canis Lykaon] that could strengthen its user through the darkness.

Okita could see his master's immense improvement with each blow, although she knew he was holding back, after all he hadn't used his Balance Breaker yet.

Both charged against each other in the middle of the battlefield, Okita's Sword of Purgatory collided with Ren's God Slicing Sword as they both collided.

Both Ren and Okita gritted their teeth as they tried their best to withstand the force exerted by the other.

Okita knew that her master's physical strength in question surpassed her, so she was using her immense magical energy to reinforce each of her blows.

Okita's eyes widened as she looked at the ground and saw that several blades, several swords were growing out of Ren's shadow and advancing on her.

At the last moment Okita remembered that Longinus [Canis Lykaon] could create any type of blade from any shadow in its user's field of vision.

Okita jumped away from Ren and prepared to attack him but was forced to stop when she felt a burning sensation in her left leg.

Looking down, Okita saw that a shadow sword had pierced her thigh.

"I think I won," Ren said as he lightly tapped his sword on his shoulder.

Okita just sighed defeated, their battle was not until someone lost consciousness, but whoever took the first blood was the one who won.

"Yeah, I didn't really expect that," Okita said with a sigh.

Ren only chuckled as he approached her.

"No need to be like this, I almost lost to you too," Ren said calmly.

Okita smiled slightly as he stood up as he started talking to Ren, who also responded smiling.

Both really enjoyed being in each other's presence.

...

...

Sometime after Okita and Ren's battle they had both returned home with the other servants and Ren had to make food to keep everyone fed, although it wasn't necessary for servants to eat.

Currently in a more remote part of Kuoh, near a large forest, it was possible to see Ren calmly watching the horizon.

It had been a few hours since the battle with Okita, and after talking to his servants Ren put another part of his plan into practice, and so he was currently further away from the city.

Ren calmly watched the horizon as he felt a magical power approaching him at high speed, the Sekiryuutei had already taken the step of creating a barrier.

[He's here] said Ddraig in Ren's mind who agreed.

"Finally found you Sekiryuutei"

A voice sounded behind Ren making him turn to see, who had spoken was a handsome young man with light silver hair and light blue eyes. He's wearing a dark green V-neck shirt and a high-necked black leather jacket over the top. He also wears burgundy jeans with a silver chain hanging over them and black leather leggings with three sashes around his right calf, and black shoes with black buckles.

On his back he had two white wings with eight "feathers" of bright blue light.

Who was in front of Ren was Vali Lucifer, the descendant of the original Lucifer and current Hakuryuukou being wielder of Longinus [Divine Dividing].

Ren only smiled when he saw the White Dragon floating above him.

"Nice to meet you Hakuryuukou; Vali Lucifer" said Ren smiling.

Lucifer's descendant also smiled: "Nice to meet you Sekiryuutei; Ren Katsuo"

Soon the [Boosted Gear] manifested in Ren's left hand.

[A long time ago Albion] said Ddraig the Red Dragon Emperor from within Longinus.

[Yes, it's been a long time ago Ddraig] replied Albion the White Dragon Emperor from within the [Divine Dividing].

[Looks like you found an interesting carrier Albion] said Ddraig.

[You too, even though you are a human I can feel that he is not a normal being] said Albion calmly.

[Indeed, my host and my strongest host] said Ddraig bragging.

Albion also chuckled: [Mine is also the strongest]

Vali's eyes narrowed at Ren who simply smiled.

"What happened Hakuryuukou?" Ren asked calmly.

Vali shook her head in denial: "I just expected more from my eternal rival, but you're just a human," Vali said disappointedly.

Ren just chuckled, "Seriously, then it should be pretty simple for you to defeat me, but I advise you to be careful, many supernatural beings who underestimated me have paid with their lives" said Ren calmly.

Vali's smile widened as he reached out and mustered a thick silver-colored demonic power to fire at Ren.

The demonic power shot advanced against Ren, the density and power was enough to take down a high class demon with [Tower] trait.

But when she was about to hit Ren the Sekiryuutei just raised his right hand and threw a punch sending the demonic power away.

Vali's smile widened as she saw her rival simply counter his attack as if it were nothing.

"At least it won't be boring," said Vali smiling hugely.

Ren's smile also widened: "You can be sure not"

Smiling, Vali unleashed the power of her Sacred Gear as she prepared to use the forbidden move.

"Balance Breaker" shouted Vali.

In the instant moment his wings glowed as Albion's power was unleashed along with the voice of the Celestial Dragon of Dominion.

[Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker]

In a white light that covered the entire sky, the world shone as the power of the White Dragon Emperor of Supremacy was unleashed.

In an instant, White Dragon armor with blue jewels formed all over Vali's body protecting him and increasing his power and physical attributes.

This is Longinus' Balance Breaker [Divine Dividing] was [Divine Dividing's Balance Breaker: Scale Mail].

In this form Vali can use his [Divide!] to halve the power of his opponents any time he wishes after touching them until he reaches his limits, but at the cost of a great deal of stamina and spell power, and he doesn't I had to wait ten seconds for that.

Ren admits that Vali's power in her Balance Breaker is impressive.

In terms of raw power he would have the ability to fight and win against beings of the Ultimate class, maybe even Satan if he uses the true power of Albion.

[Divine Dividing]'s true power is the opposite of [Boosted Gear], if Ren's Longinus doubles the user's power, Vali's power halves and adds to yours.

Really that makes Vali very dangerous and no doubt the [Divide!] of her Longinus.

"Aren't you going to use your Balance Breaker?" asked Vali in her white armor.

Ren smiled.

"If need be," Ren said to Vali who was smiling behind his helmet.

"Then I'll force him," shouts Vali as he increases his power.

Extending her wings of light Vali sprinted at Ren, becoming a blur of white light to untrained eyes, but that was something Ren was certainly not.

The moment Vali stepped in front of Ren and attacked herself while using her right arm which was immersed in demonic power, Ren raised his hand calmly holding the blow.

Vali's eyes widened in shock to see the human in front of him defend his blow without showing any problems.
