Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 527 VS Hero Faction

The Hero Faction didn’t interrupt Kisuke and Sakura’s reunion because they wanted to gather more information. However, they’d already guessed that this Kisuke was actually the infamous Kisuke Urahara, who was wanted by both the Alliance and Olympus.

“K-Kisuke! You really are Kisuke!!!”, shouted Issei.

They had so many questions they wanted to ask him, but Rias had the most urgent one after seeing that he came with Ophis on his shoulders, “Ophis… What happened to Akeno and Irina-san?”

After this question of hers, everyone from the Gremory Team became quiet with varying expressions.

Issei, Yuuto and Rossweisse, while angry, were making despondent faces. Rias and Xenovia were seething with anger, while Asia was silently crying while healing the Sitri team. They already received the news that only their Evil Piece and Brave Saint Card went through the summoning, and that could only mean one thing.

Ophis, however, didn’t answer her and just looked down at Kisuke. Feeling her gaze, he faced them and cheered them up, “What’s up with those faces? They’re fine. Well, it’s true that they were almost goners when I came across them in the Dimensional Gap, but I’ve already given them some treatment and sent them to a place where they could rest in silence. They should be able to wake up in a few hours.”

Hearing that, everyone’s eyes from the Gremory team widened, and the next second, Rias fell down on her knees from sheer gladness and relief. She already thought that her best friend had already perished at the hands of Shalba and was already expecting the worst possible answer from Ophis.

Issei immediately supported her with obvious happiness on his face. While Rossweisse and Yuuto were making merry faces, Xenovia and Asia could only stare at Kisuke. “I-is that true!?”, asked Xenovia to confirm that she didn’t hear him wrong.

“Yep~. I’ll bring them to you once they wake up.”, replied Kisuke.

A dark-silver-haired young man suddenly appeared behind the Gremory team and asked, “How about Kuroka? I’m expecting to hear that you’re taking good care of her.”

Vali’s question immediately elicited another barrage of questions from the Gremory and Sitri team, who were asking him about Sona and Koneko’s current situation.

“They’re fine too, although they can’t be here right now due to various reasons. I know, you’re worried about them, but this isn’t really the situation where we should talk about them.” Kisuke then faced Cao Cao, “Right, mister with a pretty sick spear?”

“Indeed. Although I wanted to let you talk a bit more, you, after all, killed my comrade. I can’t just keep quiet after seeing something like this. It’s about time we settle things.”, replied Cao Cao and introduced himself, “I’m Cao Cao. The wielder of the True Longinus.”

“Ah, excuse me for my rudeness. The name’s Kisuke Urahara. Just your everyday candy store owner~.”, greeted Kisuke back while tipping his hat.

‘Who’re you kidding!?’, thought everyone inwardly. An everyday candy storekeeper couldn’t just instantly kill a wielder of multiple Demonic Swords.

Cao Cao ignored his introduction and continued, “Kisuke Urahara. The man wanted by both the Alliance and the Greeks for doing some unknown ritual that sacrificed noble Devils. From your actions just now, it looks like you aren’t a simple character, but are you sure that you want to deactivate your Balance Breaker?”

“What do you mean?”

“Although I can’t feel any of your aura, I’m still able to tell that you’re a lot weaker after you dispelled your Balance Breaker. Are you sure you want to take us on with just your bare body? And by the way, what kind of being are you actually?”

‘So he thought that my Hollowfication is a Balance Breaker.’ Kisuke wanted to chuckle but stopped himself, “Although that form gives me ungodly strength, I’m not really very fond of it, as it could easily interfere with my mind like just now. It’s only good for enduring and overpowering others, which is just not my style. And lastly, I’m mostly Human.”

“Not your style, huh… You wouldn’t have developed that kind of Balance Breaker if that isn’t your style.” With Cao Cao’s signal, Hercules and Jeanne launched themselves towards Kisuke.

“I’ll help you.”, muttered Sakura and summoned a giant marionette’s arm from her shadow. Thanks to this Sacred Gear which Kisuke had given to her, they were able to aid the evacuation of the citizens while also hiding their identity. After a few battles with the terrorists, Sakura figured out that this giant arm weakened everyone it touches considerably. This made both her and Cleria able to deal with their enemies while using only generic magic.

However, after the moment when the trusty arm emerged, for the very first time, it broke her control over it and formed a fist before pummeling Kisuke, “What!?”

“Whoa.” Kisuke dodged to the side and avoided the fist that created a small crater, “As feisty as ever, eh?”

Despite Sakura trying to regain control of the arm, it continued attacking Kisuke, “Kisuke! What’s going on!?”

“Well, she’s definitely sulking.”, muttered Kisuke before saying to the arm, “I’ll take you back later. Let me deal with these people first.”

After that, the arm stopped its assault and went back to Sakura’s shadow. Sakura tried to summon it again, but it didn’t respond to her calls anymore. After seeing his confused mother, Kisuke tried to calm her down, “I’ll be fine by myself. I’ll talk to you later, mom.”

Sakura nodded at her son’s words. Although she was confused about what was going on with the Sacred Gear, she decided to follow Kisuke’s instructions and went to help Cleria, who was still in her mask and robe, and helped her to evacuate the children.

“We’ll assist you!”, shouted Issei as he aimed his Dragon Blaster towards Hercules. But Vali in the back spoke up, “Just let him be. He said that he’ll be fine by himself, right? And don’t you want to see what he can do?”

“But…” Issei hesitated.

“Do you need our assistance?”, asked Rias suddenly.

“I appreciate it, but it’s been a while since I fought fellow people. So please let me entertain them for a short while~.”, replied Kisuke and readied his sword.

“Understood. But if you’re in danger, we’ll help.” The Gremory team had already come a long way after fighting many formidable enemies. They believed that, if they were to fight Kokabiel again, they’d also be able to deal with him with relative ease. Hence, her offer of help.

Issei also stopped speaking and just stood tight for whatever was going to happen.

Of course, Hercules and Jeanne were offended by this and the angry hero shouted, “This arrogant bastard!!! I’ll flatten you!” Hercules immediately launched his pike-like fist as rockets towards Kisuke.

Jeanne also didn’t let up and ordered her Dragon to attack, breathing out Holy Light towards Kisuke.

A large explosion ensued once the rockets and breath landed on Kisuke. A cloud of dust rose up as a large crater appeared in his spot, “Heh! So he’s all talk. Now even his body was vaporized.”

“H-hey! Is he going to be alright?”, asked Rossweisse in concern. After all, she’d already experienced the power of Hercules’ Balance Breaker. Even with the help from her defensive magic before she went back to Asgard, she was still gravely injured by those rockets.

However, no one answered her as they just continued watching. Of course, Hercules wasn’t just speaking without confirming things because he saw with his two eyes the moment when his ‘Detonation Fist’ landed on his opponent’s face.

Hercules and Jeanne were about to face the Gremory team next, just as they’d planned, but the hulking man suddenly heard someone speaking beside him, “Hmm… What an interesting setup ~. By the way, what are you going to do without those rockets? Are you going to start punching people now?”

Hercules shuddered while the rest of the Hero Faction became wide-eyed. After all, they too saw how both of the attacks landed on Kisuke’s body. Hercules then swung his fist to the source of the voice and with his Sacred Gear, the aura surrounding it exploded, giving it additional momentum and speed.

Kisuke immediately bent backward to dodge the fist, but it was followed by another explosion-powered kick, so Kisuke somersaulted backward to avoid it, “Oh my~. So that’s how it works. Though it really needs a strong body to endure those explosions.”

For Ophis who was riding on Kisuke’s shoulders, it was like a fun rollercoaster.

“How did you dodge!?”, asked Hercules. He didn’t see Kisuke moving and became tense because of that.

“Er… I went away before it hit me for real?”

“Bullshit! I saw you got hit by my attack!”

“Really? That’s news to me. Why don’t you do it again? You know, just to confirm things?”

Kisuke’s replies greatly infuriated Hercules, even more so because of the little girl having fun on his head. So he materialized another set of ‘Detonation Fist’ and released it towards Kisuke. This time, everyone watched closely as it indeed touched Kisuke’s face and detonated properly.

However, after the explosion occurred, Hercules heard his voice beside him again. “See? It didn’t hit.”, said Kisuke while also watching the explosion as if it was none of his business. Ophis even parroted his words for additional flex, “It didn’t hit.”

28th00: Phis-chama’s cheer section has become a rollercoaster ride with shoulder loli emphasis parroting. This is what I’ve been waiting hundreds of chapters for. The flexes are gonna be REAL though. Cao Cao may be a literal god-like talented technique user… But he’s still only got less than 2 decades of training and combat experience. Kisuke has a couple hundred years and is a one of those god-like talents, while also being a technique user and having power and stamina at god level. He’s doing all this while Ophis rides him like a rollercoaster, it’s wild how hard this flex is. It’s gotta be surreal to see her be a shoulder loli…

Alexander: Makes me remember an episode of dragonball, where Master Roshi and Krillin explained their somewhat hilarious moves in a tournament fight towards the audience over several minutes, although they only needed maybe a second or so for executing their moves in the actual fight. Wouldn’t it be quite taunting for his enemies, if Kisuke were to explain his dodging like this.
