Strongest In DxD - Chapter 75

"You're very fast young man" commented Vasco in surprise as he smiled.

Okita narrowed his eyes as in one swift movement he unsheathed his sword, the sword of purgatory, and swung it against Vasco Strada.

The moment the blades collided, intense pressure was generated as an intense shock wave surged across the battlefield.

Vasco's eyes widened and he felt pushed back.

In a quick move, Okita forced his sword even further as the man was forced to retreat by force.

Vasco stopped a few feet away while he had a surprised look on his face.

"And very strong" said the man smiling slightly: "Really these young people today evolve very fast"

Both Okita and Vasco narrowed their eyes as their auras began to increase.

Vasco quickly raised his holy sword which gained an intense whitish holy aura and swung at Okita.

The holy power flew from the holy sword in a half moon shape sweeping everything in front of it, trees, stones, the ground itself, everything that stood in the way of the holy energy wave had been completely annihilated.

Okita quickly jumped to the side while dodging the blow, even though Okita deflected the sacred energy aura it continued to advance as it destroyed everything in its path. It eventually reached the edge of the field and crashed into the barrier, causing a massive tremor to shake the entire field.

"My Durandal can cut a target that is several kilometers away," said Vasco, smiling.

Okita with his immense speed advanced against the man as he disappeared and became a mere blur.

Even with the servant becoming nothing more than a blur, the exorcist continued to stare.

In a quick move Vasco brought his sword up just in time to defend against Okita's blow.

The two swords crossed as a wave of holy energy came out of Durandal and Okita only increased his strength.

The whole floor cracked under Vasco's feet and he squinted at the woman's strength.

Okita showed minimal surprise that Vasco could react to his speed, although she wasn't at her maximum speed it was still a great feat for the human.

"I'm amazed that I can react," Okita said in her usual emotionless voice.

Vasco laughed.

"You are a very fast girl, I really can't see you, but thanks to my experience I can react" said Vasco smiling.

Okita understood what he meant, even though he didn't see her, his experience and training allowed him to react to Okita's blows.

Vasco quickly raised his fist and launched it at Okita, his fist was coated with an intense amount of sacred energy.

It was Vasco Strada's signature technique, his [Sacred Fist].

It was a simple technique, in his youth Vasco prayed to God for wisdom, and gained his ability to use the sacred power, and with that he created the [Sacred Fist].

It was a technique that simply blended the sacred power around its user's fist.

In the beginning it was a simple technique that could only damage low class beings, but over the years, as Vasco trains more and more, his power has evolved, he has become more powerful and focused.

And it got to the point that not even a God-class being could withstand the blows and be unharmed.

And Vasco knew that, from that distance there was no way for Okita to escape, even if she tried to retreat Vasco could still reach her, even with her incredible speed.

But what Okita Souji did left the man known as "The Violence of Heaven" in awe.

Okita literally stepped in the air and jumped out of the way.

The shock wave generated by the fist continued to fly as it destroyed everything in its path and ended up annihilating a mountain a few miles away.

Seeing Vasco distracted, the swordsman servant quickly brought her sword and swung it against the man's body.

Blood flew everywhere as Okita walked away.

Vasco spat blood when he saw a huge cut that appeared on his left arm, it was deep enough for him to be sure it hit the tendon, and also because he couldn't move his arm.

In that instant when he dodged Okita had used one of his abilities; [Kyokuchi].

It was a simple technique that allowed Okita to reduce the distance between herself and her opponent instantly and could be performed with perfect moves in any space, even dimensions are unable to impede her advance. It could be used even when it was airborne.

And that's what she did, using her power she stepped in the air to further reduce the distance between her and Vasco.

Before the exorcist could react Okita again used his ability to cut the distance and appeared on Vasco's back cutting her off.

A huge cut appeared on Vasco Strada's back as blood leaked from him.

But unlike what was expected the man didn't flinch and Okita's eyes widened as she saw Vasco bathing Durandal in an immense amount of sacred energy and rocking against it.

Vasco knew he couldn't beat Okita in a direct battle, the girl's speed and strength were already superior to his, if he was still in his prime it could have been different.

And so Vasco let himself be hit to get a loophole.

Okita's eyes widened when she saw the sword coming at her, at that distance she couldn't use it [Kyokuchi] and not even her speed would be useful.

Seeing the sword coming towards her Okita made the only option she thought of.

Vasco's eyes widened as his sword was stopped, and looking at Durandal he stared in disbelief.

His Durandal had the power to cut through anything, and Vasco's mastery really took that power out of her, he was able to make the best of that skill.

And now Durandal had been stopped.

Okita had her left hand raised as she held the Holy Sword in one hand.

Vasco's eyes stared unsure of what he was seeing, he never imagined that someone would be able to stop his Durandal with just one hand.

Okita's blood dripped to the ground, though she had been able to stop the blade, yet it took damage, a cut present on her hand.

In a swift movement, with a speed that surpassed anything she had ever used before, her blade slashed against the exorcist's neck.

Vasco couldn't even react, that speed was something he couldn't even imagine.

"It seems that my journey has come to an end" thought Vasco as he felt the sword a few inches from his neck: "I just wish I had seen the children again, to be able to see them surpass me, but I think it was a good Life."

With his last breath as the sword made contact with his neck, Vasco thought.

"Young Ren, forgive this old man for not being able to do anything to save his family, but I hope you find your happiness" thought Vasco in his final moment.

And then Okita's sword cut the man's throat, killing him.

Feeling the edge of his blade cutting into the Okita man's neck, he sighed as he stood up.

Looking down at her hand she saw that a serious wound was present in her, it wasn't something that stopped her from fighting, but she couldn't use that hand again.
