"It's actually the Excalibur blessing!"

Rias and the others then noticed the peculiarity of the holy sword that Yasuhiro held.

Its appearance wasn't like a typical sword, it looked more like a ruler.

This was their second ti seeing it. The first ti, they had been too concerned about Issei's safety and had only glanced briefly.

After that, Issei's awakening of the boosted gear and the incident with Yuuto made them forget about this matter, and they didn't confirm exactly which holy sword Yasuhiro was wielding.

"President, that sword of looks scary," Reya Kusaka couldn't help but say with curiosity.

For those of them who had only recently been reincarnated as devils and had just begun to explore the supernatural world, they had only heard of the holy sword's fa and knew little about its details.

This was unlike the ORC, where apart from Issei, everyone had been into the supernatural before being reincarnated as a devil.

"In terms of danger, the excalibur blessing is strongest among holy swords but only for devils."

Sona watched as Yasuhiro fought wielding the sword. Though this looked like a duel, it was clear to the naked eye that He was rely toying with Rias's knight.

Yasuhiro's strength had once again shattered the perceptions of those who didn't fully understand his power.

"My brother, I think he ntioned that his holy sword is both the strongest and the weakest amongst holy swords." Unwilling to remain rely a background character, Issei interjected.

His interruption drew the attention of many, who then glanced back at Yasuhiro engaged in the fight.

Many wondered why, despite being brothers, they were so different in caliber.

If it weren't for Issei's good luck in having the boosted gear, he probably would have been an ordinary person.

Slow to react, Issei finally noticed the strange looks from the others, leaving him sowhat bewildered.

"The Excalibur blessing is undoubtedly a divine weapon in the eyes of exorcists. As its na suggests, this holy sword was designed for use on the battlefield to bless, heal, and restore the status of allies, that was its original design concept," Rias explained in a single breath.

"As everyone knows, the original Excalibur was destroyed. The church and heaven collected the fragnts and reforged seven holy swords using alchemy. These seven swords are significantly weaker in power and effectiveness against devils, far inferior to it's original."

"However, excalibur blessing was an exception. The forging deviated from its intended purpose, and the alchemists abandoned the original characteristic."

"Thus, a holy sword was forged that surpassed the original Excalibur in its ability to restrain Devils."

"This is the excalibur blessing."

"Its only flaw is that, aside from the sacred power that restrains Devils, this sword possesses only its inherent hardness, it has no lethality against non devils or other regular creatures."

After Rias's explanation, it was all clear.

...

Yuuto's body soon bore black burns.

This was the result of being touched by that holy sword.

Issei nearly developed PTSD seeing this again.

He had been hit hard by the excalibur blessing several tis, and he still rembered that pain.

In particular, when he saw the sword now, the places that had been hit and healed seed to throb with phantom pain all over again.

The demonic sword in Yuuto's hand was forcibly broken by Yasuhiro.

"Sword Birth!"

Imdiately, the ground beneath their feet was filled with countless demonic swords which seems to be hurtling toward Yasuhiro.

Yasuhiro shook his head inwardly. At this stage, the demonic swords Yuuto created lacked hardness, not to ntion any fancy elentalization or special features.

He was incapable of reaching his balance breaker like he did in the lightnovels.

This was pure brute force, anyone with even a modicum of agility'd have had no trouble dodging it.

Yasuhiro had no intention of dodging and was prepared to be savage for once.

He held his sword across his chest, and a powerful force surged within him.

A natural force aka KI manifested around his body.

Soon the entire area was filled with broken shards of demonic swords.

"Damn!"

Yuuto, who had fallen to the ground, imdiately stood back up, created two more demonic swords, and charged forward again.

"Yuuto..."

Rias and the others watched with concern as Yuuto acted like a crazed beast.

"Rias, don't worry, I believe Yasuhiro will handle it," Sona comforted her.

Rias felt that her friend seed to have an unusual confidence in Yasuhiro.
