Strongest in DxD - Chapter 28

He carries with him an enormous flag, the handle of which bears a sharp black and red spear. In addition, it also has a black sword with well-detailed red ornaments.

"Servant of the Avenger class answered your call, my real name is Jeanne D'Arc, but call me Jalter" said the servant in a firm and imposing voice.

Ren also recognized the servant in front of him.

She was Jeanne D'Arc (Alter) or better known as Jeanne Alter or Jalter. She is an altered version of Jeanne d'Arc. Although designated as Alter, this does not mean that she is a different aspect of Jeanne d'Arc.

A Jeanne of the revenge that Gilles de Rais, the French Army marshal who mourned the death of Jeanne d'Arc, wrought through the Holy Grail shortly after Joan's execution in 1431. As a heroic spirit who is the exact opposite of himself Jeanne, she's manifesting in the Avenger Class.

An opposite version of the Maiden of Orleans, if the original Jeanne D'Arc was revered as a God-revering Saint it was her opposite.

She was a cruel and brutal woman who denied the existence of God and took pleasure in destroying the faith of the faithful, a witch who sought the destruction of France.

This was Jalter the Witch of Dragons.

The moment her eyes focused on her master she widened them in her power, but was even more surprised to see two servants standing behind their master.

But before she said anything Ren raised his hand.

"I know you're in doubt, but I promise that everything will be explained soon, just let me finish" asked Ren calmly.

Though surprised, Jalter waved as she addressed the other servants who waved before coming to three stops behind Ren.

Ren couldn't help but be surprised to have summoned three alternate versions of three different minions.

Although he was a little happy as he doubted the original Jeanne D'Arc and Arturia, so to speak, would help with his plan.

Raising his hand Ren played a card that crumbled to blue dust as another burst of energy occurred generating another wave of smoke.

When she disappeared, another of the servants was revealed, she was an extremely beautiful woman. She has long purple hair and red eyes, and wears a full-length outfit that highlights her curvaceous body, with metallic shoulder pads.

In her right hand was a crimson spear of approximately six feet, she emanated a constant aura of bloodlust and demonic power.

"I answered your call master. Lancer Class Servant, my real name is Scathach," the woman said in a cold voice.

The woman standing in front of Ren, and the Lancer class servant, was Scathach the Immortal Witch.

Scathach is a female warrior queen from the Celtic mythology of Ulster Cycle. The queen and guardian of the alien territory/haunted ground called the "Shadow Land", She is a prodigy of skill with spearmen and rune magic. She possesses immense enough power to gain control and close the gate of "Shadowland", which is overflowing with countless 'ghosts', to drive away the dead. It was said that she became the mentor of Cú Chulainn - who would later become the hero of Ulster - guiding him, teaching him all sorts of techniques and even bestowing his favorite magic spear.

A human who killed many beings, including gods, and bathed in the blood of many powerful beings she ended up becoming immortal.

Scathach opened her eyes, surprised to have been summoned, and was surprised to see that beside her master there were three other servants.

"Teacher…"

"I know. Firstly my name is Ren, nice to meet you Scathach" said the Sekiryuutei receiving a nod from the Immortal Witch: "I'll explain, please wait a bit" asked Ren as he was not in the mood to explain everything individually but would wait for explain to everyone.

Scathach nodded as epa moved forward and stood beside the other servants as everyone nodded to her in return.

Ren threw one more of her cards into the air causing her to melt into a blue dust along with a burst of energy.

When she disappeared another servant was revealed.

It was a woman who has fair skin, and a woman of tall stature, has long black hair, plus bangs on her forehead and sides, which extend just above her waist. Her eyes are yellowish and small, her ears are pointed, reminiscent of elves. Despite being very "white", the girl has a great physique, indicating that she is a very healthy woman. She does not use lipstick or any other type of product, her hands are delicate and her bust is shown to be voluminous. She is very thin, with smooth and smooth skin, demonstrating her unrivaled beauty.

She could be described as a "depraved beauty" and a "one of a kind woman" wrapped in a dress like "midnight dark", which exudes a pleasant aroma.

"Hoo, to think there would be someone who would summon me, who are you who dare try to use the Queen of Assyria, Semiramis" said the woman as she looked directly at Ren and ignored the servants behind him.

The one in front of Ren was the Knew Queen of Assyria, Semiramis.

Born of the Syrian siren goddess Derketoe a human male, she was left at the seaside by her loveless mother. She was wrapped in the warm wings of a dove and fed on the dove's milk. Semiramis was then found and educated by Pastor Simmas until she married Onnes, an old general; but she was then taken by the Syrian king Ninus, who fell in love with her thanks to her beautiful face. This forced Onnes to commit suicide, and after Semiramis won the king's favor with the original battle plans, she married him and formally became queen. A few days after the wedding, she killed the king with poison and reigned as regent over Assyria for decades to come. This is the oldest case of homicide by poisoning in legend.

Thus becoming the oldest poisoner in the world.

Semiramis smiled as her power began to circulate through her body while, if Ren were not a master to her liking, she would simply kill him.

Even with the servants behind him.

All the servants behind Ren were calm without even moving, the only movement seen was Okita's fingers getting ready to draw his sword.

But surprisingly Ren showed no other reaction than to laugh at the servants' bewilderment.

"Using is a strong word, but let's see…" said Ren smiling.

At that very moment the temperature of the place dropped at an extremely high rate to the point that ice began to form around the room much to the amazement of the servants.

Soon a black miasma began to emerge from Ren's body, and at once all of Semiramis's magic melted away to her perplexity.

Not only that but the servants also felt immense danger coming from this dark energy.

This energy circling Ren's body was [Anti-Magic].

A technique that nullifies any form of magic, and it would be dangerous even for minions after all they can only manifest thanks to the mana they get from their master, and [Anti-Magic] would basically devour that.

Obviously that would happen if Ren wanted to.

The miasma began to take shape until it transformed into a long black sword made entirely of [Anti-Magic] and was aimed at the neck of the Queen of Assyria.

"…If you try to betray me I'll kill you, and know it will be pretty easy," Ren said as [Anti-Magic]'s black sword was pointed at Semiramis.
