  ....

  "Everyone, behold the Excalibur Mimic!" Irina announced proudly to the group.

  I preteo be impressed. "Wow, Irina—that's amazing!"

  "Hmph, of course it is! You wouldn't believe how many trials I had to endure before the Holy Swnized me," Irina decred, puffing out her chest.

  "....."

  Rias and the others looked at Irina, their expressions unreadable, trying their best to stifle their ughter.

  Xenovia and Irina, however, were fused by their reas. Why weren't they surprised to see a Holy Sword? In fact, they seemed almost amused.

  "Um, may I take a closer look at your Holy Sword, Irina?" I asked, feigning i.

  "Hmm? You want to see my Holy Sword?"

  Irina was taken aback, but then a sly grin spread across her face. "Sure, take a good look!"

  Seeing Irina's malicious expression, Rias and the others struggled to tain their ughter.

  They kly what Irina was thinking.

  Holy Swords were ao Devils, and even ordinary humans would be harmed by prolonged exposure to their holy energy.

  Rias khat Irina nning to use the Excalibur Mimibsp;to punish me.

  However—

  sidering that I possessed the true [Sword of Promised Victory], Rias and the others were eager to see Irina's rea when her pn backfired.

  And it did.

  When I took the sword without any ill effects, Irina's smug expression crumbled. Her carefully crafted pn shattered into a million pieces.

  "This is your Excalibur Mimic? Feels kinda... cheap, like a kid's toy. It's leagues below the sword I use," I said, iing the sword with a critical eye.

  Irina's jaw practically hit the floor. She'd always regarded this bde as her life's greatest achievement, yet here he was, treating it like a y prop. Her eyes brimmed with disbelief.

  "Hahaha!" Just then, Rias and the others burst into ughter, uo hold it in any longer.

  "....."

  Even Xenovia's eyes widened in disbelief.

  She and Irina had endured tless hardships and life-or-death battles to earn the right to wield these Holy Swords.

  And now, a human who sorted with Devils was holding a Holy Sword without any problems? Her worldview was crumbling.

  "How you not be hurt at all…? Wait…"

  Xenovia was about to question me when she suddenly seemed to realize something. Her eyes widened in shock.

  "You said this sword is inferior to Yours. Are you implying you also have a Holy Sword?"

  Irina, hearing Xenovia's question, also stared at me bnkly.

  "That's right. I do indeed have a Holy Sword—and it's a far higher caliber than your cheaply fed stand-ins," I said with a smile, a hint an my voice.

  "Impossible! There's no way a human mixed up with Devils would ever be reized by a Holy Sword!"

  Irina's face torted in disbelief, and she immediately refuted my cim.

  "Also, don't call my Excalibur Mimic a cheap knockoff—it's one of the Seven Excaliburs!"

  "You don't believe me? Fine, let's put it to the test. How about a little spar? What do you say?" I said, smirking.

  "Bring it on! I'm not afraid of you!" Xenovia was about to intervene, but Irina had already accepted the challenge.

  Right away, a bright holy glow fred in Kyoya's hand. A sword bathed in brilliant, sacred radiaerialized in his grip.

  "!!!!"

  Irina and Xenovia froze. They stared wide-eyed, rubbing their eyes as though they might be halluating.

  "Heh, even if you rub your eyes until they fall out, it won't ge the fact that this is a real Holy Sword." I chuckled, seeing their ical reas.

  "Also, let me be clear. This is the genuine—[Sword of Promised Victory], the true Excalibur—infinitely more authentic than any alchemy-based imitation you two are using." I crified.

  "!!"

  "What?! That's impossible!"

  "Hehehe, believe it or not, I'm the rightful master of [Sword of Promised Victory]!" I said, striking a dramatic pose.

  "Wanna touch it? Go ahead. This is a legendary on, after all."

  Hearing my words, Irina's eyes lit up, and she looked at the [Sword of Promised Victory] with undisguised excitement.

  "Really? I really see the legendary Holy Sword?" Irina asked, her voice filled with anticipation.

  "Sure, Catch, But be careful." I tossed the [Sword of Promised Victory] to Irina, a teasing glint in my eye.

  "Gotta say, though, your total cluelessness is almost sad. You two have been sold out by the Church, and you don't even realize it."

  "What are you talking about? Are y to say that we've been tricked?"

  Xenovia, who had been silent, finally spoke up, her tone filled with fusion.

  "Tsk, don't you get it? I'm saying that you've both beehe Church sent you here to retrieve the Excalibur fragments and eliminate Kokabiel, knowing full well that you'd likely die in the process. The Church has always been this way. Disgusting."

  I said, cutting straight to the point.

  Hearing my words, Xenovia's expression turned cold, aone became hostile. "That's nonsense. You're sndering the Church. I thought that maybe, as a wielder of the [Sword of Promised Victory], you might be a det person. But now, it seems I was mistaken."

  "Heh, so naive, You don't even stand a ce against us. How do you expect to take on a Fallen Angel?" I said with a chuckle.

  "If you're that fident, the's settle it with a duel. And if you lose, you swear not to interfere with our mission!" Xenovia's eyes turned icy.

  "Fihat's what I want. But what if you lose?" I asked, unfazed.

  "If we lose, I'll apologize to you and your friends, and admit that what you said is true." Xenovia decred, her expression serious.

  "Alright, let's do it then!"

  Before I could respond, Kiba, uo tain his hatred for Holy Swords any longer, interjected.

  "Make it two-on-two. You two against me and Kyoya—that's fair."

  "Tch! One exunicated 'Witch' and a so-called didate for a Holy Sword, both fallen so low as to sort with Devils. How pitiful."

  Seeing Kiba and Asia—Xenovia recalled something and mocked them.

  "I..." Hearing Xenovia's taunt, Asia hung her head, frightened.

  I patted Asia's haly, reassuring her.

  "Don't waste your breath. Let's begin. I'll take on Xenovia. Kiba, you deal with Irina. But remember, don't let yer cloud your judgment. We're partners, after all."

  I looked at Kiba meaningfully. Kiba took a moment to collect himself, then smiled and said, "Got it. Thanks, Kyoya."
