Meanwhile, the Naberius clan, one of the 72 Pillars known for their demonic magic potential and their unique internal expansion practices, was on the move. The main enforcer of the group, Gudwon Naberius, the brother of the clan head, led his squad with a malevolent grin. Gudwon possessed the strength of an ultimate-class devil, a fearsome adversary by any measure.

Gudwon:I can't wait to slaughter those useless cats

Gudwon snarled, his voice filled with a sadistic glee.

Lieutenant 1:They've always caused trouble

one of his lieutenants echoed, his tone equally malicious.

Another member of the squad, a younger devil with a cruel smile, added,

Lieutenant 1:But we can keep the women, right?

Gudwon laughed, a dark, chilling sound.

Gudwon:Of course. The women will make excellent pets. We can sell them or keep them for our amusement. The men and children are useless, though. They should be eradicated to ensure this problem is solved permanently.

The devils around him nodded, their faces alight with cruel anticipation. They relished the prospect of the impending slaughter and the suffering they would inflict.

Squad member 1:Those Nekoushous have been a thorn in our side for too long

another devil muttered.

Lieutenant 4:It's about time we wiped them out.

"Exactly," Gudwon agreed, his eyes gleaming with a vicious satisfaction.

Gudwon:My brother's death will be avenged, and the clan will be rid of these pests once and for all.

One of the squad members, a devil named Boras, who had a penchant for cruelty, sneered,

Squad member 2:Do you think they'll beg for mercy? I love it when they do. The desperation in their eyes... it's delicious.

Gudwon smirked.

Gudwon:Oh, they'll beg. They'll plead. But it won't do them any good. We're going to make sure they understand the price of defiance. Every last one of them will suffer before the end.

Squad member 3:They think they can hide

another devil spat, his voice dripping with contempt.

Squad member 4:but we'll find them. There's no escape.

"Exactly," Gudwon said, his voice cold and calculating.

Gudwon:We'll burn their village to the ground and leave no trace of their existence. Their very memory will be erased.

Boras:And the women?

Boras pressed, his eyes glinting with perverse excitement.

Gudwon shrugged.

Gudwon:We can decide what to do with them once the main task is done. Perhaps we'll have a little fun before we sell them off. Or maybe we'll keep a few as trophies. It doesn't matter. What's important is that we send a message. No one defies the Naberius clan and lives.

The devils around him cheered, their voices filled with bloodlust. They were eager to carry out Gudwon's orders, to revel in the violence and chaos that would soon ensue.

"Let's move," Gudwon commanded, his tone brooking no argument.

Gudwon:We don't have much time. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can start the fun.

The squad moved with swift efficiency, their minds filled with the atrocities they were about to commit. Gudwon led the way, his heart blackened by hatred and vengeance. He couldn't wait to see the fear in the eyes of the Nekoushous, to hear their screams, and to feel their blood on his hands.

As they neared the village, Gudwon's anticipation grew. "This is it," he muttered, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

Gudwon:The end of the line for those pathetic cats.

Boras:They'll regret ever crossing the Naberius clan

Boras said, his voice filled with dark satisfaction.

Gudwon nodded, his eyes narrowing with determination.

Gudwon:Let's make sure of it.

The squad continued their march, their

Using the tags placed on the forest, both Kousei and Issei overheard the atrocious plans the Naberius devils had for the Nekoushous. Their rage simmered, boiling over as they prepared to confront the enemy.

Kousei:we'll slaughter every single last one of those devils

Kousei said, his voice steely with determination.

Issei nodded, his eyes blazing with fury.

Issei:they won't know what hit them.

Issei activated his Sacred Gear, and the technique Dragon Soul Ascendence enveloped him in a crimson aura. His body pulsed with power, and the Boosted Gear roared, ready for combat. Kousei's Avengers Edge gleamed, his golden aura flaring with dark purple sparks as his Avenger's Aura activated. The air around them crackled with energy, signaling the beginning of an immense battle.

The forest around them blurred as Kousei and Issei charged forward. They moved with deadly precision, their powers resonating in perfect harmony. The devils from the Naberius clan didn't have a chance to react as the two warriors descended upon them.

"BOOST!"

Issei's Sacred Gear roared, and crimson flames ignited around his body. His Dragon Soul Ascendence technique amplified his power, making him a force of nature.

Kousei's aura was refined and calm, his focus razor-sharp. He held Avenger's Edge with a steady hand, activating Harmony Breath to enhance his control over his qi. His speed increased drastically as he used Wind Steps, moving like a phantom among the devils.

"Tempest Slicer!"

Kousei's voice rang out, and he swung Avenger's Edge with unparalleled skill. A whirlwind of razor-sharp wind blades erupted from his sword, slicing through the devils with merciless efficiency. The devils stopped moving, their bodies turning to pieces before they could even comprehend their fate.

Issei followed up with a powerful technique, his fist glowing with intense heat.

"INFERNO LOTUS FIST!"

he shouted, and a blast of crimson flames erupted from his fist, incinerating a group of devils in a brilliant explosion. The devils screamed in agony, their bodies consumed by the inferno.

Gudwon Naberius, the enforcer leading the squad, watched in shock as his forces were decimated in an instant.

Gudwon:What the heaven?!

he yelled, his eyes wide with disbelief

Kousei and Issei continued their relentless assault, their combined strength overwhelming the devils. Kousei's movements were a blur, each strike of Avenger's Edge precise and deadly. He used Elemental Manipulation to control the wind, turning it into a weapon that slashed and cut through the enemy ranks.

Issei, fueled by the power of his Sacred Gear, unleashed a barrage of attacks. His Boosted Gear amplified his strength with each passing second, and his attacks became more devastating. He used his Inferno Lotus Fist repeatedly, blasting devils apart with fiery explosions.

Gudwon finally snapped out of his shock and charged at them, his ultimate-class devil strength on full display.

Gudwon:You think you can defeat me?!

he roared, summoning dark energy around him. He launched a powerful attack, a massive wave of dark energy aimed at Kousei.

Kousei met Gudwon's attack head-on.

"Cosmic Veil!"

he shouted, activating one of his advanced techniques. A shimmering barrier of cosmic energy appeared, absorbing Gudwon's dark energy wave. Kousei pushed forward, using the barrier to shield himself as he closed the distance.

Gudwon's eyes widened in panic as Kousei reached him.

Gudwon:No, this can't be—

Kousei didn't let him finish.

"Tempest Slicer!"

He shouted again, his sword slashing through the air. The whirlwind of blades cut through Gudwon's defenses, tearing into his body with brutal force.

Issei, seeing an opening, powered up for a final attack.

"Boost! Boost! BOOST!"

he shouted, each word increasing his power exponentially.

"DRAGON SHOT!"

he roared, unleashing a massive beam of crimson energy. The beam engulfed Gudwon, obliterating him in a blinding explosion.

The remaining devils, witnessing the destruction of their leader, tried to flee. Kousei and Issei gave them no chance. Kousei used Wind Steps to catch up to the fleeing devils, cutting them down with swift, merciless strikes. Issei followed, his Boosted Gear roaring as he blasted devils apart with fiery blasts.

Within minutes, the battlefield was littered with the bodies of the fallen devils. The forest was eerily silent, the air thick with the scent of blood and burnt flesh. Kousei and Issei stood amidst the carnage, their auras gradually fading as the adrenaline of battle subsided.

Issei:We did it

Issei said, his voice tinged with exhaustion but filled with satisfaction.

Kousei nodded, wiping the blood off Avenger's Edge.

Kousei:We protected the Nekoushous. They'll be safe now.

They turned to head back to the village, their mission complete. The devils had been defeated, and the Nekoushous were safe,

Gudwon's body pulsed with a dark, sinister energy as he rose from the ground, his wounds knitting together at an alarming rate. The explosion of demonic power sent shockwaves through the forest, causing the trees to sway and the ground to tremble.

Gudwon:YOU BASTARDS! HOW DARE YOU!

Gudwon roared, his eyes blazing with fury. His demonic power surged, creating a palpable aura of darkness around him.

Kousei and Issei took a step back, momentarily taken aback by the sheer intensity of his power.

Kousei:Well, he is an ultimate-class devil,

Kousei said nonchalantly, though his grip on Avengers Edge tightened.

Kousei:they are stronger than the normal ones.

Issei grinned, a fierce light in his eyes.

Issei:Meaning we get to continue breaking him.

Gudwon charged at them with incredible speed, his fists cloaked in dark energy.

Gudwon:I'll rip you apart!

he screamed, his voice echoing through the forest.

Kousei met Gudwon's charge head-on, their swords clashing with a thunderous impact. Sparks flew as their blades collided, the force of their strikes sending shockwaves through the air. Gudwon's strength was immense, and Kousei could feel the weight of each blow reverberating through his arms. He gritted his teeth, holding his ground as he matched Gudwon's ferocity with his own.

Issei, not one to be left out, moved in from the side, his gauntlet glowing with power.

"Boost!"

the sacred gear amplifying his strength. He swung his fist at Gudwon, aiming for the devil's unprotected flank.

Gudwon sensed the attack and twisted his body, his free hand shooting out to block Issei's punch. The impact created a shockwave that rippled through the forest, but Issei didn't let up.

"Dragon Shot!"

he yelled, releasing a blast of dragon energy at point-blank range.

Gudwon was forced to retreat, the blast tearing through his defenses and leaving scorch marks on his body. He growled in pain and anger, his eyes blazing with hatred.

Gudwon:You wretched worms!

he snarled, summoning more dark energy.

Gudwon:i'll obliterate you!

Kousei saw an opening and activated Wind Steps, his speed increasing drastically. He darted around Gudwon, his movements a blur.

"Tempest Slicer!"

he shouted, slashing at Gudwon with a blade of wind. The attack sliced through the dark energy surrounding Gudwon, drawing blood and forcing him to stagger.

Gudwon roared in rage, his power surging again as he swung his sword in a wide arc. Dark tendrils of energy lashed out, seeking to entangle and crush his opponents. Kousei dodged the tendrils with fluid grace, his eyes focused and calm. He activated Harmony Breath, his breathing synchronized with the flow of energy around him.

Issei, meanwhile, was channeling the power of his sacred gear.

"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"

The gauntlet roared, each boost amplifying his strength further. He charged at Gudwon, his body enveloped in crimson flames. "Inferno Lotus Fist!" he yelled, his fist crashing into Gudwon's chest with explosive force.

Gudwon was sent flying, crashing through several trees before coming to a halt. He groaned, struggling to rise, but the damage was evident. His armor was cracked and his body battered. Despite his ultimate-class strength, he was being pushed to his limits.

Kousei seized the moment, raising Avengers Edge.

"Starlight Infusion!"

he called out, channeling celestial energy into his blade. The sword glowed with a brilliant golden light, radiating power. He swung the sword down, aiming for Gudwon's heart.

Gudwon managed to raise his own sword in defense, but the force of Kousei's strike shattered it completely. The golden energy surged through Gudwon, searing his flesh and tearing through his demonic aura. He screamed in agony, his body convulsing as the celestial energy overwhelmed him.

Issei moved in for the final blow

"Dragon Soul Ascendence!"

he shouted, his entire body blazing with dragon energy. He launched himself at Gudwon, his fist cocked back

"Inferno Burst!"

he yelled, releasing all his pent-up energy in a single, devastating punch.

The impact was cataclysmic. A massive explosion of crimson flames and dragon energy engulfed Gudwon, the shockwave flattening the surrounding forest. When the dust settled, Gudwon lay motionless on the ground, his body charred and broken.

Kousei and Issei stood over him, their auras slowly fading as they caught their breath. The battle had been fierce, but they had emerged victorious. Kousei sheathed Avengers Edge, his expression one of grim satisfaction. "It's over," he said quietly.

Issei nodded, his gauntlet returning to its normal state. "Yeah," he agreed, looking down at Gudwon's lifeless form.

Issei:We did it.

They turned away from the battlefield, the Nekoushous now safe from the threat of the Naberius clan. The village was quiet, the air heavy with the aftermath of the battle. Kousei and Issei knew they had done
