Chapter 47. IM part 1
--Quick authors note--
So some of you guys asked about who is IM, why is Eve so bloodthirsty and why is she good in combat. So the answers are IM is the mastermind behind the world government shown in the manga of One piece. Eve is bloodthirsty due to the fact that Rei seems to enjoy it so she want to enjoy it too. She was also influenced by seeing murder and violence every day so she is numb to it. She isn't good at combat, she just uses her raw power to make up for the lack of experience. Hopefully that clears up some questions and enjoy the chapter!

"...die for me." IM said as limbs shot out from his body towards the duo. Rei's eyes widened as he saw this. Quickly pulling Eve behind him, Rei traced out multiple blades parrying the incoming attacks.
"Eve support me from a distance." Rei said quickly as he continued to defend from the attacks.
"Un!" Eve quickly nodded as she used Sky god slayer magic to keep herself flying. Seeing this Rei returned all of his wings as he flew towards IM.
"Scatter Senbonzakura." Eve said as she sent the blades to help cut down the limbs.
Trusting his back to Eve, Rei continued toward until he was right next to IM. Taema was coated in a white glow as he swung down causing a twist of azure and white sword energy to cut into the massive body of IM armour wrapped around it as the cut attacked the body. The sword energy cut the armour but the main body was unharmed.
"Kekekekekeke! YOUR SWORD DOES NOTHING!!!" IM shouted as he flapped his black wings to fly higher as he charged an attack in it's mouth.
"Shit! EVE!! AIM AT THE MOUTH!!!" Rei shouted as he traced out Caladborg 2 and his bow. Notching the sword on the string, Rei infused the power of shocks onto the sword.
While Rei was preparing the shot, Eve had sent Senbonzakura to attack the energy being charged in the mouth. But before it could even hit, a mouth guard wraped around IM's mouth protecting it from Senbonzakura which then only gave it some white scratch marks.
"Tsk!" Eve clicked her tongue in annoyance before she infused fire god slayer and wind god slayer magic to Senbonzakura. This had increased it's sharpness to a whole new level. Eve sent it to attack the mouth once more, This time there were shallow cuts from the blades hitting the guard.
"CALADBORG!!!" Rei suddenly shouted as he let the sword fly, a streak of white and red trailed behind the sword as it travelled towards the mouth guard.
*BOOOOMMMM!!!!
An explosion occurred at the mouth piece which caused smoke and dust to cover the effect. Rei readied Taema waiting for IM to counterattack.
The dust cleared showing a broken mouth guard but the energy was still charging and it was about to be finished.
"Fuck!" Rei cursed at how tough the defence was. Quickly flying over to Eve, Rei set up some defensive measures quickly.
"6 Layered Protection Array!!" Rei said as 12 of his wings dispersed into 6 domes surrounding him and Eve. Just as the dome finished forming, IM shot the blast towards them.
*PING!
The blast had easily shattered the first layer. Rei frowned seeing how easily it broke through. But he suddenly heard Tengoku speak in his mind. "Rei, why clash with brute force? Use its own momentum against it and redirect it." Her voice spoke which allowed him to gain some insight on how to truly use the protection array.
"KAITEN!!(Rotation)" Rei shouted as the outer most dome started to rotate causing the blast to loss it's main focal point and swerve off into the residence that help the celestial dragons.
*BBAAAANNNNNNGGGGG!!!
The residence was quickly reduced to ruins as a hole could be seen where the main focus was tunnelling deep into the sea bed causing lava to flow.
"Kekekekeke so you've learnt how to block. How cute, Hahahahaha!" IM laughed out in mockery. Flapping it's wings, IM shot towards the duo.
"Go Eve, i'll take care of the close combat." Rei said as he dashed towards IM. Nodding quickly, Eve took this chance to use the bankai form of Senbonzakura.
"Bankai - Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." Eve said as the number of blade petals multiplied by the dozen.
"GO!!" She shouted sending the blades forward behind Rei so that they can help him.
Just as Rei was about to collide with IM, dozens of limbs suddenly shot out from the mouth of IM catching Rei off guard. However, Rei had observation haki on the entire fight which had allowed him to react to this sudden change. Twisting Tengoku towards the incoming limbs, Rei cut down everything in front of him while Senbonzakura cut down the limbs from either side of him. Reaching the mouth of IM, Rei swung Tengoku while it was infused with the quake fruit. Tengoku cut down in a arc towards the mouth which was cut easily as the inside didn't have any armour.
"AAARRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!" IM shouted in pain as it backed off, eyes bloodshot as he stared at the duo who cause such amounts of damage.
"DIE!!!!" IM shouted as he sung his tail towards Rei. Seeing this Rei brought his fist behind him and punched outwards quickly.
*CRACK!!!!
The air shattered as the quake fruit powers demonstrated it self. But IM suddenly grinned as his tail separated into individual segments which shot out with limbs to try hold Rei. However, before it could even approach Rei, they were blocked by a Tsunami of blades which glowed a brown colour. As the segments collided with the blades, their gravity increased several hundreds of times plunging them towards the ground.
*BANG!!
A small earthquake occurred as the segments hit the ground, craters could be seen where the segments had landed on the now obsidian floor.
"Thanks Eve!" Rei quickly said as he flew towards IM once more. Flying upwards, Rei shot towards the wings of IM hoping to take him out of flight. Rei pushed his haki to the limits as he avoided the limbs being shot towards him.
'Faster much faster, clearer I need to see clearer'
Rei though as he continued to exert himself to react better and faster to the incoming limbs. Increasing his flight speed the limbs slowly started to become a blur for Rei until something snapped in him. His haki had finally broke through the threshold. Knowing this, Rei increased his speed to the maximum as he dodged the incoming limbs with ease. Flowing like a leaf, Rei used the pressure released by the limbs hitting his body to react instantly just before the limbs hit.
Flying pass the main body, Rei looked at the black crow like wings flapping to keep IM from falling. More limbs tried to catch him, but Eve had him covered by using Senbonzakura to cut down on the limbs.
"Eve, can you increase my time so that I can move faster for a bit." Rei said as he had a idea on how to cut through all the wings.
"Of course, MIRAI!!" Eve shouted as she used Mirai to increase Rei's time up to 30%.
"Thanks." Rei said as his body had a faint blue out line. Tracing a dagger to be paired with Tengoku, Rei held the two infront of him.
"Pick ye rosebuds while ye may...."
Rei said as a slight pink layer of energy started to fuse with the faint blue energy.
"Let's shuffle the cards, can you keep up with me?"
Rei said as he crouched down ready to launch off at any moment.
"Chronos Rose!" Rei said as his body disappeared into pink and blue after images. Chronos Rose was an ability that was used by Emiya, it involves the change of the users time to allow for the acceleration of ones speed beyond current limits.
Faded images of Rei could be seen flashing countless times across the back of IM to the point even IM couldn't react. At the base of each wing there would be suddenly slices of white before it reappeared in another location.
Rei was then seen above the IM. Snapping his fingers, a burst of white sword streaks could be seen at the base of all of the wings.
"AAAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGG!!!!"
IM shouted in pain as all of the damage burst out at once. His titanic body fell towards the ground without the support of his wings.
Tracing out a flag, Rei could be seen gathering energy once more.
"All evil is here."
"The time for revenge has come."
Rei chanted as fire swirled around him, using his demon slayer and alucard flames. The fire started to become a eye piercing white flame.
"This is the roar of my soul that has been polished by hatred..."
The fire started to dance in anticipation ready to be released.
"LA GRONDEMENT DU HAINE!!!!!(Roar of hatred) ROAR O' RAGE OF MINE!!!!"
Rei shouted as he sent the tsunami of white flames towards IM. La Grondement Du Haine, was the noble phantasm of Jeanne D'Arc alter which allows for the user to cover a wide area in flames and stakes which was great as a anti-army noble phantasm.
The white flames burned IM's body as they congulated into multiple focus points. These focus points exploded into pillars of white flame that pierced the body of IM causing him to scream but no sound came out. As IM was on fire, colossal ominous stakes could be seen suddenly shooting out of the ground. Each stake was decorated with edges that was made for the purpose of being hard to remove from the body.
"PIERCE!!!!" Rei shouted as the stakes stabbed through the body of IM holding it up in the sky.
As the flames died down, they could see the heavily wounded body of IM with holes where the flames had exploded and stakes pierces all over his body.
Eve flew next to Rei as she said.
"Is it over?"
"!!!!!" Rei looked at her as his mouth hung open. 'Did she just raise a flag?' Rei though in slight worry as he knew what would come next.
"UAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!" An enraged shouted could be heard coming from the body of IM.
'I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!!!' Rei shouted in his mind as he went on guard seeing the body of IM writh around in abnormal ways. The body then split in middle revealing the shadow of a person. 14 pairs of black wings shot out of the body as it's voice rang out.
"Kuhahahahaha....I thank you for helping me finish my metamorphosis....."
