What would happen if he did? These powerful beings have faced Ian and Elle's old master during the great war which happened centuries ago, their master rose to the challenge and faced everyone who were at the top of the food chain. The swords bear the same appearance as to before, that could jog their memories about it. Do or die. Pulling Ian and Elle out from the sub-space in his inventory, Ophis detected danger immediately that she went into a battle pose, releasing her aura. Ethan can sense a distress emotion coming from Ophis, who has yet to tell why she's in a battle pose. Is she afraid of these swords? Is that it?

"Mean no harm." Ethan assured

"It is not you who means harm... it's those..." Ophis trembles at the ominous aura coming out of Ethan's swords "where did you gain those?"

"Ophis, oh Ophis, to what do we owe the please of meeting the number one ranked person as the strongest?"

"Ubel... and Duvessa...." did she growl? Ethan swore he heard growling at the hostile dragon god

"Ah, ah! I have an entirely new name given by our... new master. Call me Elle..."

"Ian. That is me."

"Ubel... Duvessa.... *gasp* Brother! Do you have any idea who those swords are!?" Mimir had Rossweisse ensure of her safety

"Yeah, I do actually. No secrets were kept between us. These baddies dominated every race during the great war, conquering and killing each faction as a memoir to never look down on humans. Ubel and Duvessa were created and attains the deadliest, most treacherous ability that not even God nor Ophis can come close to: the power to continuously grow without limits." Ethan repeated the words Ian and Elle had said "their master... is named !@#$%&* !*@&#%$&... did you hear that?"

"Hear what? You said that human's full name..." Ophis surely has some background against him "all this time, I never learned of the first human to ever defeat me..."

Ophis, born from void itself out of nothingness, holds great power to surpass God as to her source is unlimited and summon endless amount of spells as some sort of child's play. Unlimited, nothing is ever truly unlimited. Take Ophis for an example, yeah, ranked 1 on strongest being in the leaderboard but clearly reached a limit facing !**#&%#@&. Taken this defeat to an account, Ophis has sworn she'll get the chance to kill him for the humiliating defeat.

"Little brother, do you know these sword's true potential?"

"Nah. One thing for sure is I'm getting there." Ethan recieved another new quest "once I do... you'll all be my target. Except you Mimir, love you Mimir."

Daily Quest: Preparation to become stronger!

________

"Um.... do foreigners find fond of this blackhole? Last one came in speaking it's an important matter for them to be here." An American soldiers spoke to his lieutenant "weirder yet... they come from Japan."

"I promise you, sir. This is a business matter, for your safety along with the rest of humanity." Tobio Ikuse spoke English fluently, reassuring that they are also part of the other team "okay... Akeno, you sure you'll able to handle this? I can't come to believe you feel better now."

"I'm fine... no need to worry anymore." Akeno is still in that phase, being constantly reminded Ethan's words

The soldiers let them through once witnessing they can also perform magic like the others, they can now put their faith in them along with the rest. Humanity might survive this catastrophe involving this black hole in the sky.

"Sir, who are they?"

".... call us Hunters." Said Cao Cao "gotta say, does have a flame to it. That boy Ethan has good taste."

Humans, Angels, Devils, Fallen angels, Satan's, leaders, basically anyone Rias and Issei had come across in their adventures on increasing Issei's strength to challenge Ethan to see where they stand. God's? Nah. Ethan? Yes, most definitely Issei's number one goal. His greatest obstacle to surpass everyone is Ethan Elms, for he has potential to match Gods of different mythologies and far powerful than a regular human, outranking Cao Cao who is rumored to be Humanity's Strongest Human. To think someone who never wields a dragon has efficiently passed others. Weakest human who is always on the verge of death at every corner, to a obstacle in everyone's way. That is how far Ethan has come during these last 8 months.

"Issei, has Ddraig been responding yet?" Vali asked, going through the same situation as him

"No. You?"

"Same here. Albion, where the fuck did you go?"

"Vritra's along with the other dragons have gone silent since the arrival of this portal." Azazel lead a small group that Vali belongs to "my guts are telling me whatever lies behind the portal has caused your dragons to disperse in silence. We should tread carefully, for now."

"Shit. What'll happen now? Must we wait for danger?" Kuroka questioned

".... forget it." Issei transformed into his scale armor, spreading out his wings to fly up there "I don't have time for this. Ethan... just you wait. I gained much stronger these last 4 months."

Azazel cup is around the corner as well. Why must this portal appear so close to an event? ~(Issei)

From there on... humanity's greatest calamity rose from the depths of that portal, unleashing a massive wave of aura from its roar, sending chills down on those so-called Hunters. A dragon. It is a fucking dragon. A dragon has appeared on American soil. What was the cause for this to happen? Dragons only lived in different dimensions and in Europe, why did one suddenly appear in America? Issei and everyone else bestowed themselves at an enormous red western dragon with gray horns, glowing yellow eyes, a light brown underbelly, and a long red, whip-like tail. Enormous, I mean by a Skyscraper sized dragon. Great red. The resemblance came to Issei's mind that the red dragon resembles Great red who lives in dimensional gaps.

"We await... your orders...." Ddraig isn't himself. To Issei, he sounded robotic whose waiting for orders

"Ddraig! Where the hell you've been?!" He yelled

"Great... Kamish...." Said the wielder's dragons (Issei, Vali, Saji) "servent for the king of dragons. How do us lowly dragons begin to serve you...?"

".... HUMANS!!" Just by Kamish's voice alone had everything shake, destroying buildings in the process "The long awakened dragon of chaos has awakened... not in my world... but yours. This shall be my kingdom, my world, my domain..."

Issei faced an overwhelming opponent, a dragon in fact, but why? He defeated many devils and other opponents to gain more strength, control, and will - yet is struggling to open his mouth against a red dragon who resembles Great red. Maybe the sole reason of how similar they are in looks and power. His hair stood up, signing there's a predator waiting on its prey to lower their guard so it can strike.

"Your champion is not present in the human world, the SHADOW MONARCH IS A COWARD!!!" Kamish flapped his wings angrily, causing gust of winds that brought down buildings "boy... do your thing..."

"Yes, master." Said Diodora, arching the corner of his lips "Asia... did you miss me?"

2 hours later, Muspelheim

"Nah, would've been better if sand that board with at least 400 grit sandpaper, then once you dusted everything off... put a little dab of finishing oil on your rag, wiping it all over that same board. Wait a few minutes for it to dry, then sand it again. Trust me, Rose, it works wondrously." Ethan explains all about working with wood "when using the planer, always make sure the chipper is positioned properly for it to work. If not, then you're really planning nothing. Check if the guard is set in place, and slowly glide your wood across the table."

"Wow, a craftsman like you should teach a class." Rossweisse complimented the 21-year old Ethan (remember, stuck in punishment zone for 4 years so he's physically and mentally 21 years old. Real world wasn't effected that much, only 4 hours passed)

"Band saw! If you fuck up on your project, don't pull back like an idiot. Turn off the machine and wait for it to fully stop, then take it out. Removing your wood while the machine is still operative can fuck your hands, fingers, face, and the machine. I'm pretty sure no one wants to pay for the damages." Ethan came close to the saw cutting his face once in first year of Kuoh Academy "most importantly, why have you been sticking very close to me with the smug-like smile?"

"Huh?"

"Surely there's a reason.... Asia..." Elms' shadow signals his king that she was captured "Rose... stay with them."

"Where are you going?"

"..... home..." Ethan used 'Shadow Exchange' to switch positions in Asia's shadow

Ian, who's that green headed boy? ~(Ethan)

Diodora. Cunts' a rapist, sadist, and manipulator. See those girls in robes? They once used to be nuns from different parts of the world. Now... they follow orders from him ~(Ian)

Master, quickly. We still have time to save Asia before it's too late ~(Elle)

"What is a little girl like you hanging out on a tree? Didn't your mother tell you to play safe?"

"S-sorry, Ethan."

"... huh, we haven't had a chance to talk in 4 months and you instantly recognize me?"

"Well, I can't forget your heterochromia eyes. They're memorable."

"Gah, first the church incident and now this? You're really popular, Asia."

"Do you remember the fallen angel Raynare? After Asia had died, I was going to kill Raynare and give Asia an evil piece."

What? ~(Ethan)

It's growing. His anger that once exploded, suddenly began to gather its powder and pile up with the lighter set ready. Eagerly waiting for the chance to explode.

"She begged for power, she came all the way from earth down to the underworld just to say 'give me power, give me power!'. Pitiful, really. The reason why was for a lowly trash human she needed to protect, but uh... I forgot about him... Evan? Fujimoto? Miles? Tsuda? Tsuyoshi? Gah, that stupid spell. Simple, really, but the result is mindblowing."

Spell? Raynare? ~(Ethan)

"For that to happen, I raped her! It was fun seeing those teary eyes as she begged for me to stop, most importantly, I loved it when she was calling out her friend's name! Hearing her scream as I profusely shoved it into her filled my insides with joy!!" Diodora laughed maniacally, seeing how sadistic he was "can you believe it was her first time? She was saving it for that lowly human, and I took that opportunity away from him!"

Ethan's eyes began quaking violently. Only then did Asia also realise that something was wrong as well.

"Ethan?"

It was then. Elms' expression hardened like stone. Asia called out for him, still sounding anxious. With his lips firmly shut, Ethan walked past her.

What is this? ~(Diodora)

As time slowed down from the extreme tension it felt, the Astaroth instincts of a warrior, trained to their very limit, sent out countless warning bells. It said that a truly 'terrifying' being was headed this way. The sound of the Devil's heartbeat rang around painfully in its eardrums, like a series of thunderclaps. If it didn't get out of here right now, it'd be killed. The sharp instincts of a warrior, honed like a fine blade, would sometimes display powers close to that of the gift of foresight. Just like right now! A mighty, ear-splitting explosion occurred next, the shards of glass flying out like shrapnel. Meanwhile, devils manning the doorways began hastily retreating away after the back of their king suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. Diodora wordlessly glared forward, its breathing now becoming extremely cautious. It was picking up on an unusual and eerie vibe. It could see a human male it hadn't seen before standing on the spot where the devil female was just now. Diodora shifted his gaze ever so slightly to the side. Its opposite corner was where the windows were. Nothing remained of the entirety of that wall as if it had been struck by a powerful siege weapon.

"Say that again." Ethan lost all logical reasoning "say that again, I fucking dare you."

Dio could only swallow its saliva at the sudden entrance of a powerful opponent. A strand of cold sweat trickled down his temple.

"Say those things you said about her, about Raynare...." His eyes suddenly glowed purple "tell me in full detail how you stripped her from her first time?"

"Welp, your loss Diodora. You just made master pissed."

"Master, we'll be right behind you if war ever breaks out between you and the Astaroth family."

"Tell me you son of a bitch!" Ethan no longer can listen to his surroundings, only focusing what's infront of him "explain how you robbed the innocence of Raynare!!"

______

First the appearance of that damn portal, second is these so-called humans naming themselves Hunters showed up all of a sudden, third is the fall of humanity when that dragon came out. Every resident of Salt Lake City has evacuated further into America or went on plane to escape this blackhole before things escalated, but that plan flawlessly failed when the red dragon named Kamish reeked havoc all across the western coast area of America. Blood, buildings, life in the forest vanished from existence thanks to its destructive breath of fire and summoning of more dragons that were under his control. West coast had fallen into the palms of Kamish, on to the next area of America. Guns wouldn't work for damn sure thanks to its impenetrable Titanium-like skin, not even the Hunters can damage and there were recognizable ones (at least in the world of magic) have died. Kamish made Ophis and Great red look like a lil' bitch, said gods and faction leaders. All hope was lost, humanity lost. They all prayed for their god to help save them but it never reached the heavens as God is dead, been dead for centuries.

"Shit. A drink would've been the better choice in this situation." Says an American soldier, lighting a cigarette "oh well... Captain.... what's our next orders?"

".... I don't know. Wait until a dragon come eat us.... mom.... I never should've become a soldier..." the captain of his group regretted leaving his mother to protect the peace "te amó mucho... ma... los siento..."

"Mind those tears. Wipe them off... humanity will live on." Ethan rose from the shadows while standing on top of a slain dragon, done by his own hands "tell your mom 'Hero of the Abyss is here'. Frost, Njal, Raynare, you three group spread out and locate any survivors. Bring them to the nearest military base. Daiki, Yajuu, Kaisel... on me along with the rest."

His Wyvern answered with a defying roar that pierced through the heavens.

"Damn.... that young man is probably the most bravest soldier I met... he should enroll." The captain discovered a beam of sunlight shining above him "what the - holy shit!!"

"Captain.... since when was there a hole in the sky? Forecast said that today is gonna rain..."

"Dios mío.... Virgen la María.... ha.... of all the Hunters here... this man might be the Strongest... reminds me of another Hunter, same as him."

"Ah, from that story. Who was it again?"

"Lennart Neirmann."

Diodora and that Shalba Beelzebub - well... can't say it was a battle or they at least out up a fight. Rather, Ethan made one suffer through terrible torture techniques that a human cannot withstand and the other...

"Shit... one punch.... and the clouds all evaporated..." Issei inspected the dead Shalba with a gaping hole on his chest "fuck! I'm still weak... why am I still weak? Every steps I take, Ethan somehow manages to stay 5 or 10 steps ahead of me.... No matter how much I train myself, he continues to surpass me by miles..."

"Now you know how I feel." Said Saji "but... let's not focus that Ethan surpasses us dragon wielders. More on the fact we have humanity to save. We owe him many times after facing threats greater than we faced... Ethan has a lot more balls than any man combined... no wonder that Neko fell for him."

Ethan along with his Elite-Knight shadow soldiers beheaded many dragons at a rapid pace, never losing momentum and gaining it at the same time, which is nearly impossible for a devil or leaders to perform... Elms shows them how there's much of a difference in them. Hunters saw Ethan in action, fearing that there's a slim chance he could become an enemy to all except humans. Why though? What is the reason for a human to reach this potential of power? As of right now, Elms has surpassed Azazel and Michael. They might stand a chance against him with other Satan's, alone not.

"This is the first step in war... let's start from here... Arise..."

"H-holy shit!"

"The dragons.... they're coming back to life!"

"Everyone get ready!!"

A reporter had an idea...

"G-get a recording on this! The headlines will present 'strange human is resurrecting dead dragons!'. It'll be a huge hit!"

Show them what it means to be a hunter... master ~(Ian)

In a human's eyes, Ethan left no traces. What remained were millions of diced flesh from the chaos erupted by Ethan

"Jesus..."

A mysterious beautiful young woman appearing in her twenties with long, wavy, cherry blossom hair and two horns protruding from her head. She wears a high-cut formal dress with high slits and has a well-endowed bust and slim waist. She watches carefully on the human. There's a seductive grin on her face with an announcement she made to herself...

"Impressive, perhaps I misjudged him."

What's even more eyegasm or battlegasm for those who seek out fights on the toughest enemies was the moment Ethan stuck both his swords onto a dragon, he continously fought those hostile dragons without a need of a weapon. Strength status hitting 250 is a vast difference when he fought against Demon of Hatred 8 months back. Prior to that, Ethan never loses the chance to level up. With his explosive strength, dragons were flying all over the place without the use of their wings. Pulling a tooth out and blinding a dragon, tearing its wings off, ripping one literally in half, upper cutting its head off, using 'Dominator's Touch' to slam a dragon onto another. A returning dragon with Ian and Elle penetrating it's back desires revenge against this human, so it planned an ambush once Elms catches a break for a moment.

"Watch out!"

Snap

What was that? Did Ethan snapped his fingers? A confused Fallen Angel witnessed one of the most excruciating skill a human performed: them swords exploded after collecting enough energy from the dragon, splitting it in half.

"Arise..."
