High School DxD Vol 11 Chapter 3

“So good job on your test. Cheers.”

Sensei gulped his drink after saying that.

How much has this drunken Governor been drinking since noon…… The four of us moved to the hotel, where we were given relief from the fatigue of the test at the restaurant we reserved. At the restaurant, everyone in the Occult Research Club except Gasper and Rossweisse-san was gathered. Everyone has already started eating food. So I started filling myself immediately after seeing the gorgeously prepared food.

“How was it?”

I was asked by Rias who is sitting next to me.

“Umm yes. Both the tests were worth the time. This is all thanks to everyone who helped me. But for the practical I overdid it….”

I smashed my opponent with the power of Sekiryuutei. And I also made a hole in the test stadium.

“You don’t have to worry about it because we will pay for the damage to the broken wall. But you can’t go serious against mid-class devils if you happen to have an argument. Okay? There's quite a difference in power between yours and theirs at this current point in time.”

…..I was warned by Rias. Yes, I am reflecting on my actions. I was shocked because I never could have imagined that there was that much of a difference between me and other low-class devils. If you look at strength, I’m a High-class devil huh. I can’t really feel it though. No, I do realize my strength. But I still can’t feel that I have a power where I can stand on equal grounds to the noble devils. I beat High-class devils like Raiser and Diodora by relying on the flow, so I never thought about how strong I am among devils. I just trained like crazy in order to make sure I wouldn't lose against the enemies who are after me and in order to catch up to Vali. Ddraig then laughed inside me.

[Kukuku. In your case you are already abnormal by possessing me and your target is also the strongest Hakuryuukou of all time. Your target was already too high to begin with. Even so you continued to use your power, so it’s only natural that you would surpass other devils without realising it. By the end of Summer, you had already surpassed your master, Rias Gremory. That woman isn’t weak either. ---- The growth rate of Sekiryuutei was too overwhelming.]

Even so, my growth rate is slow compared to the past possessors right? That part alone makes me want to cry.

[It’s certainly slow. But comparing you who is showing a completely different growth process than that of the Sekiryuutei who came before you is a bit…. Though the key to that growth is tits……. Haaaaaa……….]

…..Sekiryuutei-dono has made a sigh. Maybe I should stop this discussion here. Then I saw a scene that made me smile.

“Here Koneko-san. You should eat this and this.”

“…..I can eat it myself even if you don’t grab it for me.”

“I’m not looking after you because I want to. Ise-sama will be sad if you are not energetic.”

“……I understand. I will eat…… Thank you.”

“No, thank you as well. If you don’t become energetic, I won’t be able to compete against you.”

I saw a conversation like that happening between Ravel and Koneko-chan. They are opening up to each other even though they still argue a lot. That is a good thing.

“……I shall look at Ddraig.”

……At the corner of the restaurant, there is Ophis who is staring at me. She was stuffing her mouth with pasta.

……If the restaurant staff finds out that she is the boss of the terrorists, serious things will happen. Obviously this is kept a secret.

It seems like Kuroka and Le Fay are also eating sweets in the corner of the restaurant. Fenrir isn’t showing itself, but its probably hiding behind Le Fay. What a skillful wolf. Well it is forbidden to bring pets inside the hotel. Wait…..the worst creature to be a pet is…..

Kuroka is an exiled-devil who is on the wanted list in the Underworld, so she hides her cat ears and tail while wearing a similar robe to the one worn by Le Fay. Though the colour is different. She is also wearing sunglasses. She’s also changing the ki flow, so people who can normally sense them won't notice them and as a result they won't be caught that easily. She’s also using it on Le Fay and Ophis, and that is one of the reasons why they aren’t being viewed as suspicious people.

…..Well if it’s Kuroka and them who haven’t been caught up until now, they won't be caught here either. But I think I can understand it now. The reason why they appear in unexpected places is because they have the ability to sneak around like this. If I think back, my comrades didn’t realise it at all when they suddenly appeared at my house.

……So in that area, they are superior to us. When I was thinking about that, the drunken Sensei says this to Kiba.

“Ise. Kiba. Both of you are extraordinary even among the Gremory group.”

“You say we are……extraordinary.”

Azazel-sensei nods at Kiba’s words.

“I’m saying that you guys are young devils who hold outrageous potential. Ise doesn’t have any talent, but he is a man who possess the Sekiryuutei. He raised his power in a different way than all previous Sekiryuuteis and finally managed to awaken a power that is the total opposite to [Juggernaut-Drive]. Even if Kiba gained additional powers afterwards, your talent is very high. And both of you are still in the middle of your growth period. It’s an unimaginable talent to awaken two Balance-Breakers. On top of that both of you train with each other and are growing even stronger. ……..Maybe you guys will become Ultimate-class devils before Rias even has her professional debut?”

Becoming an Ultimate-class devil before having a professional match…. I was already shocked from the talk about Mid-class promotion, so if that happens I might pass out and make bubbles come out of my mouth and be confused for 10 days. Having your servant be a Mid-class devil before your debut is abnormal, so in terms of that we might become a point of praise for Rias. Kiba then says it shyly.

“I am blessed. Right next to me the Heavenly-Dragon, Ise-kun, is there. For a training opponent I can’t ask for a better partner. And we are still in the middle of growing. Sparring against Ise-kun alone is an honour.”

How can he say such embarrassing things so openly!

“Don’t say embarrassing thing with a smiley face! ……Geez. I’m also gaining a lot from our training because my opponent is a genius technique-type like you. Since my weakpoint is technique-types.”

When I said that, Sensei shook his head.

“No. You also have another weakness. More like an exposure. The weakness of the powerful Triaina and True-Queen is stamina itself. Using either of them involves consuming great amounts of stamina and aura. Ise. Right now, how long can you maintain the True-Queen form?”

“…..The truth is, the power is unstable so there are times when the form disappears after one hit. Controlling it is very hard.”

Yes. That True-Queen is very hard to control. What is necessary for stabling the True-Queen is increasing the specs during the other Triaina forms. If I want to increase the power output and defence of my True-Queen form, it is necessary for me to continue using Triaina-Rook until I get used to it. If I want to increase the speed of True-Queen, then it’s Triaina-Knight. If it’s the cannon then it’s Triaina-Bishop. The basis for improving True-Queen is that I need to improve the specs of each of the other forms. That’s how it is made. In order to increase the strength of True-Queen, I need to train each of the Triaina pieces. The awakening of Triaina in Kyoto. The awakening of True-Queen during the Bael match. Thanks to that, the original power of Heavenly-Dragon was released and it seems like the limit of my Sacred Gear increased several fold. What’s left now is for me to train and reach even greater heights. Even if the limit of the Sacred Gear increased, since the possessor, which is me, is really weak, then I have to get there step by step.

“I have to get used to each of the forms of Triaina, and at the same time increase their powers. True-Queen is like an overall form.”

The improved results will all reflect to the True-Queen. The reason why it is unstable right now is because I still need a lot of training. I probably have to improve the usual Balance-Breaker form and Triaina forms. That’s what I realised after the fight with Sairaorg-san. It means that I’m still lacking in my training for the abilities of each of the forms. Maybe understanding that will relate to decreasing the huge stamina usage? That’s what I thought, but Sensei says something that put that idea away.

“Even if you were able to stabilise the power, it might not solve the high consumption. It’s a new power that doesn’t hurt either the body or soul, but either way the consumption is intense. It must consume more stamina and aura because it doesn’t eat away at your life span or put your body in any danger.”

So it has a high consumption because it doesn’t have the price that would cut down my lifespan. This is the answer I found by choosing a power other than Juggernaut-Drive……

Hmmmm, I need to find a way to make up for the high consumption. At this rate it will be impossible to fight in Triaina or True-Queen form during a long battle. My opponents are all legendary beings. It won’t be a problem if it is a short battle, but my opponents won't let me defeat them right away so it will be natural for me to prepare for long battles as well.

The time limit for my usual Balance-Breaker form increased quite a lot so it won’t disappear unless something extreme happens. Though that very thing is Triaina itself. If I use a combo, it will consume a large portion of my stamina. The fatigue I get following the battle isn’t normal. But it’s better than Juggernaut-Drive, which would continue to go berserk until I die!

Then I thought about it. So I asked Sensei.

“Oh yeah. The independent Longinus that is under Sairaorg-san called Regulus can also do something like “Juggernaut-Drive”? Didn’t you tell me that Sacred Gears with strong creatures or dragons sealed inside them can do something similar to [Juggernaut-Drive]?”

“Judging from the system, it is possible. If it’s Regulus Nemea or a creature-type sealed in Sacred Gear, it will be called [Breakdown the Beast], which is written as "Beast of Domination" in Japanese. Though the Heavenly-Dragon’s Juggernaut-Drive is more powerful. That is special. Well these are very dangerous so you shouldn’t use them even if you can. Just like Juggernaut-Drive, it will drain your life force and eventually kill you after going berserk.”

Ah, so it’s the same. Then it will be hard to use.

“The Longinus need to be reported to the higher-up’s of the three great powers when they are found due to the alliance right? But Sensei didn’t know that the lion was under Sairaorg-san. Isn’t that a breach in the alliance done by the Bael side?”

I had doubts about that. The higher-ups of Heaven and the Underworld who searched and have surveillance on Longinus possessors. That lion, “Regulus Nemea” would be siding with the devil’s side so I thought it would be natural for Sirzechs-sama and Sensei to receive a report about it. I don’t think that Sairaorg-san would keep quiet about it on purpose. I started to think that there might be something behind it. Sensei then says after sighing.

“It seems like Sirzechs also didn’t know about it. It sounds like those guys from the Great-King faction told Sairaorg to hide the identity of his “Pawn”. But Sairaorg was insistent in telling the Maou about it. If he is to be the next heir of his house, then his actions will be restricted by the current head. On top of that the Great-King faction members were telling him to hide his identity completely even in the rating game. Even if he was to send it out, they told him not to reveal its identity.”

“But it came out in the end, and he revealed its identity.”

“It seems like Sairaorg reached his limit of keeping quiet about it. It seems like he was planning to use it whenever an opportunity to use it appeared. Nobody expected the last game to go like that, but it was revealed because of that. Thanks to that, the Great-King faction members are being questioned a lot by the Maou-factions you know? Though the Grigori and the Heavens also made a complaint to the devil’s side due to the alliance as well.”

---! So something like that happened during that match. For the higher-ups of the Great-King faction to tell Sairaorg-san not to use the lion….. But Sairaorg-san didn’t have a second thought about using the lion for the head to head battle. I just need to pray that it won’t turn into trouble like what happened with the Old-Maou faction. So does that mean I’m under the Maou-faction then? To put it specifically, a Longinus possessor who belongs to the Lucifer-side. Man this is a hassle! Ah, there’s one more thing I remembered after hearing about Longinus and abilities.

“…..Sensei, how about [True-Longinus]’s [Truth Idea]? Does that also have a phenomenon similar to [Juggernaut-Drive] or [Breakdown the Beast]? Does it also have a creature sealed in it?”

“……It’s not that a creature is sealed in that spear. What’s sealed inside it is like a will of “the God from the Bible”.”

---A will. That also gives an incredible image to me. Hmmm, so the ultimate spear also has an unbelievable thing hidden in it then?

“---A spear that can kill a being called God. The beginning Longinus. The God from the Bible left it in the current World. And as a human’s ability, the Sacred Gear. Though the reason for it is split between different opinions in my organisation. Something like even if God died, the believers can spread their teachings and the weapon can be used for invading since it can kill the Gods from other religions. Also something like a defence weapon for his believers in case of an attack from the Gods of other religions. Or it was just made for no particular reason. Like that there are different opinions. The Heavens don’t have a conclusion either. Either way other powerful Sacred Gears were found after that spear, and things like Longinus were defined.”

So the beginning Longinus huh. ……My Longinus was defined after that spear.

“In this age, each of the Longinus are showing different changes than in the past. We are in a flow where it’s not weird for other Longinus besides the 13 Longinus to appear, maybe a 14th or 15th Longinus could be found.”

Sensei says something like that.

…..A new Longinus might be born….. As one who has possession of a Longinus, I can understand that this would be very dangerous. They're already dangerous to begin with, so it’s scary if more were to appear. ….From the discussion till now, it seems like they will appear as an enemy so I’m becoming frightened.

It seems like Asia who is sitting close by is thinking about something. She hasn’t eaten much either. She has only been drinking sips of juice.

“What’s wrong Asia?”

When I talked to her, Asia says it quietly.

“…..I thought that I should understand more about the Sacred Gear.”

“Is it to increase….the healing ability?”

When I asked her, she nodded.

“I heard that Gasper-kun went to Azazel-sensei’s research institute to know more about the Sacred Gear. So I thought I should go there next.”

……After that match against Bael, everyone started to face up to their powers and even Gasper who is always behind went to the Grigori in order to train himself. But Asia’s healing ability is already powerful. It shows remarkable support both at close and long-range. How many times have we been saved by it. Even so, Asia seems like she isn’t satisfied with it. She has a more serious expression than usual. Asia who is always putting on a gentle smile has strong eyes right now.

“Sensei I would like to ask you two questions. Is it possible for [Twilight Healing] to attain Balance-Breaker? Am I also able to attain Balance-Breaker? I would like to know these two answers.”

Hearing Asia’s question, Sensei took a gulp of alcohol and then opened his mouth.

“For the first question, there is. It is predicted that there is a Balance-Breaker state for Twilight Healing. It’s also “Yes” for the second question as well. If you are close to the Sekiryuutei Ise who makes lots of irregular phenomenon occur, then by training you will be able to reach it depending on how hard you work. It’s also possible to make it into a sub-species Balance-Breaker depending on your taste as well. –But Asia. Your ability has already reached perfection.”

Asia seems a bit in doubt at Sensei’s words.

“What do you mean by that?”

“It’s just like I said. Your healing ability is already high and mastered. Just like you can see, because of your ability Ise and the others have overcome dangerous situations countless times. I could say that you are already using your Sacred Gear to the fullest. Even comparing you with other Twilight-Healing possessors, your level of healing ability, time needed to heal and other parts are all top-notch. Even the healing from long-range shows a result that far surpasses average numbers. Even if you were to get Balance-Breaker, it will just be a scale up of those aspects.”

Sensei gave such huge praise to Asia. I also thought the same. Asia’s ability is quite high even at the current point. As long as Asia doesn’t get targeted, we can fight with relief. That’s because even if we were to be injured, we know that we can return to the battlefield as soon as we are healed by Asia. Being so highly praised by Sensei, Asia has a complicated expression instead of wanting to become stronger.

“Asia. You are the keystone of this group. A healing member is valuable and important. Out of the Gremory group….. No. Out of everyone here, you are the most important one during battle. You will know that if you ask everyone else, and you, yourself should realise that as well right?”

Asia nods at Sensei’s words.

“Then do you know what is your weakness?”

“….Is it the fact that I’m not useful besides healing?”

“No. It’s a bit different. You should just concentrate on healing. You can leave the rest to Ise and the others. But you will still be targeted. We will receive a major blow if we lose our healing support. If that happens, we would need an attacker who can protect you or the rear guard would have to defend you. That would disturb the formation and could lead to breaking the rhythm of the battle. ---Your weakness is that you don’t have a method to protect yourself. So what you should improve is the ability where you can defend yourself. …..Yeah. Maybe it would suit you to use a method like barriers, illusions, demonic-powers to summon, or even magic. If you make a pact with creatures who can act as your shield and summon them, then Ise and others don’t have to defend you. Rias. Asia made a pact with the hard to please “Sprite Dragon” right?”

Rias nods at Sensei’s question.

“Yes. It has become Asia’s familiar.”

The High-tier dragon baby that Asia caught at the forest of familiars. It plays with Asia at home quite often. When that grows, it will become the same size as old man Tannin. So it will be scary from now because it will become more than 10 meters big.

……What should we do about its food?

“Unexpectedly, maybe she has an ability that can enslave creatures. It was totally a blind spot. How about you start meeting with lots of legendary creatures and try to make pacts with them? Maybe it will go smoothly? If it’s a creature that can act as a shield…….”

Sensei started to talk by himself with enjoyment about improving Asia’s ability. But I agree that Asia summoning a creature who could become her shield would be useful. At the last group battle during the match against Bael, the reason we didn’t let Asia participate is because we didn’t have the flexibility to protect her. Since Asia would be healing us she would definitely be targeted, and we didn’t have the flexibility to both attack and defend so it would've been too high of a risk. If Asia can summon creatures that can act as her shield, then…. That last fight might have gone differently. Somehow since we arrived, a plan for improving everyone in the group has been established. Though there are still members who are keeping their improvement plans a secret, but the reflection we had during the Bael match will greatly influence our growth. Even Gasper and Rossweisse-san who aren’t here will return to us even stronger than before.

….I can’t lose to them either! I need to get even stronger. Since all my rivals are incredibly strong. Do my best, me! ----Then it happened right as I made a new resolve.

……! ………An uncomfortable feeling hit me. I felt a nasty sensation all over my body. The atmosphere changed immediately, and I immediately felt a sensation like I was teleported to a different place even though the scenery around me looks exactly the same…..

Sensei also felt a sensation similar to mine, and made a serious face as he looked around the restaurant. Kiba did the same. Then there was a shadow that was moving closer to us….. It’s Kuroka. She has her cat ears and tails out, and her ears are twitching. Her outfit has changed to the usual kimono. It looked like she has a sarcastic smile.

“Arya-rya. Looks like Vali was ignored -nya. Looks like the “Bingo” came here.”

…..Vali? Bingo? The moment when Kuroka said things that I couldn't understand…..

A familiar mist is surrounding us and it was covering the surroundings as well……

We left the restaurant that was inside the hotel. Everyone is here including Ophis, Kuroka and her comrades as well. I started the countdown for Balance Breaker while I was running!

……There isn’t even a single person in the building! No matter how I think about it, it’s that phenomenon! It was the same as that mist I experienced twice in Kyoto! We were transported by force! He created the exact same hotel we were in before in an artificial dimension and transported just us! Xenovia who is next to me shouts.

“Ise! Is this perhaps!?”

“Yeah Xenovia. It must be. A mist I can’t forget even if I wanted to!”

The only one who can do this is the mist-user who appears in my head!

We arrived at a spacious lobby. In the lobby where there's not a single trace of people, there are two men openly sitting on a nearby black sofa!

---! Then a fireball flew towards our direction! It’s aimed at Irina and Asia! But the fireball didn’t hit the two! Ophis acted as their shield and made the fireball vanish with ease.

….Ophis protected Asia and Irina?

“T-Thank you very much.”

Ophis didn’t react to Asia’s gratitude, but……. I looked back at the sofa.

A youth who is wearing a robe on top of a familiar school uniform, and a black haired youth who is wearing a Chinese outfit on top of the same school uniform were gazing at us. The Chinese outfit youth is tapping his spear on his shoulder while sitting down and then said it to us.

“It has been a while Sekiryuutei. And Governor Azazel. The last time we met was in Kyoto. I made my greetings right away. It’s the return of Durandal from the other day.”

“……Cao Cao!”

I spit out the guy’s name. The holy-spear wielder who has the strongest Longinus! The leader of the Hero-faction of the Khaos Brigade! The main culprit who attacked us in Kyoto! The wound I gave to his eye is gone completely.

……It was a wound where it wouldn't be weird for him to have lost his sight.

…..There must be something about it. I should keep it in mind. But they shot a fireball at Asia and Irina all of a sudden! Is it payback for Xenovia’s attack back in Kyoto!? Cao Cao applauds.

“The match against Bael the other day was magnificent. The intense fist fight between two people wearing Balance Breaker armour. It was a fight in which people who love to battle would be ecstatic about. So I will give my praise to the Gremory team. Congratulations on being the number 1 youth devil team. They are good servants Rias Gremory. It truly is frightening.”

“Should I be honoured by being praised by one of the leaders of the terrorists? I do feel complicated. How are you doing Cao Cao?”

Rias put on a sarcastic smile while staying on maximum alert.

“Yeah I’m doing alright. It was only a short time when I saw you back in Kyoto, so this might be our first meeting. I was astonished at the sudden summoning. It certainly was a stimulating appearance.”

“Don’t say that! ……..It embarrasses me even remembering about it!”

Rias puts her hands in front of her because of Cao Cao’s words and is telling him to “Stop!”. Yeah! Even if it was my fault, she appeared in Kyoto in an outrageous way! It certainly must be bad since that was their first encounter!

“So what was the reason for you making this field in another dimension and transporting us? It must be a good for nothing plot I guess?”

When Sensei asked that, Cao Cao looked behind us. He was looking at Ophis.

“Ya Ophis. I was wondering where you went with Vali, but for you to be here. I certainly didn’t anticipate that.”

Kuroka stood in front of Ophis.

“Nyahahaha, we are also shocked nya. I thought you'd head to where Vali is.”

“We sent a different team over there. They are probably battling them now.”

………….? What are they saying? I couldn’t follow either of their conversations. I do know that Vali's team and Cao Cao's team are against each other. While we were suspicious of the situation, Le Fay suddenly raised her hand. She made a cough and explained to us joyfully. At the same time an ash grey wolf appeared from her shadow and glared at Cao Cao.

“Well, this started from two things. The first is that Ophis-sama took great interest in Sekiryuutei, [Oppai-Dragon]-san. Vali-sama found out about it so he offered to set up a meeting between the two through his own connections.”

I know about that. That’s why Ophis made a shocking visit to my house. Le Fay had one finger up, then put up her second finger.

“The second reason is that Vali-sama got a hold of some information which said that someone is after Ophis-sama from the shadows. To find out about it, we decided to lure them out. If we are lucky we can fight directly with the people who get in our team's way by using Ophis-sama as bait. ……So it means that---“

Le Fay shyly pointed at Cao Cao.

“Those people over there are after Ophis-sama and us, so we thought that they would take action if Vali-sama took Ophis-sama out of headquarters, and we could crush them when they came after us. But there was no reason for having Ophis-sama be in danger, so Vali-sama took Bikou-sama who disguised himself as a fake-Ophis-sama. And we took the real-Ophis-sama to [Oppai-Dragon]-san’s house.”

…..Wa-Wait a second! Hearing Le Fay, I looked at Cao Cao, Ophis and Sensei! Wait wait wait wait! I know that Vali’s team and the Hero-faction are on bad terms! I also know that Ophis is being targeted!

But the one who is after Ophis is……Cao Cao!? So does it mean that the Hero-faction is after Ophis!? W-What does this mean!? D-Don’t they all belong to the Khaos Brigade…… More like, isn’t Ophis their boss!?

All of us present, the Gremory group and the others are shocked! The ones who are calm are Sensei, Kuroka, Le Fay, Cao Cao and Georg! Cao Cao started nodding his head hearing Le Fay, and is tapping his spear on his shoulder.

“It’s Vali we are talking about. I knew that he won’t just go around taking Ophis with him. So we knew that he would be using Ophis as bait to lure us out. But we also knew that Vali won’t be using Ophis just as bait. We knew that Ophis was interested in the changes of this generation’s Hakuryuukou and Sekiryuutei. So we thought that something like this might happen so we split into two groups. One group went after Vali, while Georg and I would check on Sekiryuutei. Just as we thought, Ophis was here. So we ended up meeting each other like this.”

….I’m still confused but judging from the story, Vali tried to lure out Cao Cao without using the real Ophis but with a fake Ophis. And Cao Cao was suspicious of Vali’s movements and came here thinking that Ophis was with us! His guess was right and Ophis is standing over there!

“Cao Cao is after me?”

Ophis asks while twitching her neck.

“Yeah, Ophis. We need Ophis, but we determined that we don’t need the “current” you.”

“I do not understand. I would not lose to Cao Cao.”

“That would be the case. You are too powerful. To tell the truth, I don’t know what would happen if I took you head on. ----So let’s fight a bit.”

Cao Cao stood up and spun around his spear skilfully.

PIIIIIIIIN!

The tip of his spear opened, and a really bright light blade formed! ……..It had an intense light that gave me chills like always. To us devils, it is the ultimate holy spear.

FU!

Cao Cao disappeared! ---Fast! He disappeared without making even the slightest movement!

STAB!

When he appeared, Cao Cao’s spear was thrust deeply into Ophis’s stomach!

---! A critical blow! If it was a devil, that stab would have killed it right away! Cao Cao then shouts while putting power into the spear he holds!

“—Shine, the spear that destroys Gods!”

KAAAAAAA!

At the same time he thrust his spear, enormous amounts of light were emitted!

“This is bad nya. Le Fay.”

When Kuroka said that, both she and Le Fay started to mumble something. Then a mist of darkness was created around us!

“It is a mist that greatly reduces the amount of light. It’s very dense, so please don’t breath it in! It’s poisonous to our bodies! But we won’t be able to reduce the light of the Holy-spear unless we do something like this!”

“Also it’s a double layer done by me and Le Fay nya.”

The moment Le Fay and Kuroka gave us an explanation like that, the torrents of enormous light created from the holy-spear expanded throughout the hotel!

……I understood that the light created from the holy-spear was intense even from inside the mist! If we didn’t have this mist, I wonder how much damage would we, devils, have received just from the torrents? The light of the holy-spear stops, the mist of darkness also disappears, and I looked at Cao Cao and Ophis. Ophis still had a spear pierced through her stomach. But there was no blood flowing out from her stomach and she also didn’t have any expression of pain on her face! Cao Cao takes out his spear slowly, Ophis’s stomach had a hole but there were no traces of blood. The hole disappears as if nothing happened.

…..So she didn’t take any damage? Even with the light of that holy-spear…..? Cao Cao then says it with an astonished face.

“An instant kill attack if it was a devil. I even put a lot of power in it so even other beings would vaporise…… It would have taken half of the power of one of the Gods whom are weak against this spear.”

Cao Cao then looks at me.

“Did you see that Sekiryuutei? This is Ophis. You cannot give it a critical wound even with the Ultimate Longinus. The damage went through. ----But to take down the power of infinite, is not possible even with this spear.”

Since Ophis herself is infinite, does it mean that no matter what kind of attack you do with that spear it is useless…..! So this is a dragon that represents Infinity. Cao Cao continues while tapping his spear on his shoulder.

“She won’t even fight back against me who just attacked her. The reason is simple. ---That’s because she can kill me any time she wants to. That’s why she won’t do it, even if I do something like this. Basically she’s not interested in anything besides Great-Red. Out of the Top 5 world’s strongest not including Great-Red, the strongest one is Ophis, and there is a huge gap between her and the second strongest where you could say that she is on a totally different level. This is what the embodiment of Infinity means.”

These guys….. Cao Cao is after Ophis right? Then I thought about it. ……Then what are they planning to do with this “Infinite”? Even if it is Cao Cao, it would be impossible to defeat her right? Or can he beat her if he uses Balance-Breaker or the thing called Truth-Idea…….? No, judging from how Cao Cao spoke, he’s basically saying that he can’t beat her.

Then what seems like a transport magic-circle is created below Kuroka and Le Fay! Is it a magic circle created by them!? Kuroka then says it with a smile.

“Nyahaha, we have connected it while you were doing your side show. ---Let’s do it Le Fay. It’s about time that we have to call him.”

When the ash-grey wolf, Fenrir, positioned itself on the magic-circle, the magic-circle made an intense glow and reacted!

When the light stopped, instead of Fenrir, that “guy” was standing there instead! A bishounen with dark silver hair and blue eyes…..

Vali! When I thought that the transport magic-circle was activated, instead of Fenrir, Vali appeared!

“Good work Kuroka. Le Fay. ----It’s been a while since we met face-to-face, Cao Cao.”

Cao Cao who is confronting Vali smirks at his appearance.

“Vali. This is a shocking summoning.”

Le Fay then says it while drawing a circle in the air with her rod.

“I have called Vali-sama here switching his location with Fenrir-chan.”

Vali then continues.

“I made Fenrir fight the other Hero-faction group members with Bikou and the others in my place. I had predicted that Cao Cao would be coming here. So I made sure I had insurance. ---Now, let’s finish things between us. But coming here only with Georg. Such a bold hero.”

Ah, so there are transport methods like that as well. This is my first time hearing about them. So it must be a special magic-circle that was activated by Kuroka and Le Fay? But this guy Vali, he also predicted that Cao Cao would be coming here. Cao Cao then smirks.

“Rather than being bold, I thought that it would be enough with just me and Georg.”

“Looks like you are confident Cao Cao. Does it mean you have the so-called [Dragon-Eater] as your trump card? I’m guessing it is a Sacred-Gear possessor who specialises in Dragon-slaying or a new Longinus possessor?”

Cao Cao shook his head to the sides hearing Vali’s words.

“No. That’s not it Vali. [Dragon-Eater] is the codename we gave to a being that existed already. We didn’t create it. It was already created. ---“God from the Bible” created that.”

Hearing that, the youth wearing a robe, Georg, speaks.

“Is it alright Cao Cao?”

“Yeah, it’s about time Georg. Vali is here. Ophis is here. Sekiryuutei is here. The infinite Dragon-God and the Two Heavenly-Dragons. A combination where we couldn't ask for more. ---Let’s call it. The time for opening the jar from hell has come.”

“Roger that. ---So the time to devour the infinite has come then.”

Georg who put on a smile made a gigantic magic-circle behind him in the spacious lobby!

ZUOOOOOOOO…….

An intense vibration shook the entire hotel! A very ominous aura was emitted from the magic-circle!

…….A cold air that gave me chills. An intense pressure I had never felt before was coming from the magic-circle! A pressure that freezes both my body and soul…. I feel like a frog that is being glared at by a snake……!

[This presence is…! An overwhelming evil intent only directed at a dragon…..!]

Ddraig also seems like he felt something and his voice is trembling. Ddraig is frightened…..? What kind of being is there that can even frighten a Heavenly-Dragon, which is an embodiment of bravery…..?

Then a gigantic ominous thing started appearing from the magic-circle….! Head. Torso….. Black-wings. A cross….?

Someone was impaled into a cross. Restraint tools were intensely binding its body. There were so many restraining tools placed all over its body and there are creepy letters written on the tools! There were ones that were placed on its eyes and there were tears of blood dripping from them.

---! The moment its whole body appeared from the magic-circle, my breath stopped because of the bizarre existence. It had the lower-body of a……. Snake! No. There are scales on it. ……A skinny appearance like that of an Asian dragon! The upper-body of a fallen-angel and lower-body of a dragon! On both hands, tail, and all over its body, there were countless nails driven through! Even on its black wings!

Just looking at its appearance tells me how painful it is! …… A pebble fallen-angel dragon……that is being restricted……..?

A crucifixation done to a criminal who has done something very serious…. It looks like it is the personification of anger from the one who judged it…..

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO………]

A creepy voice emitted from the criminal's mouth echoes throughout the lobby. From its mouth covered in fangs, there was blood and saliva coming out as well.

Pain. Jealousy. Suffering. Resentment. A sound that is mixed with all kinds of negative emotions. You can tell it is a being that was judged by someone who harboured great anger towards it. There was a black aura and mist coming out of the fallen-angel dragon that was spreading throughout the lobby.

…..A sensation where my skin is being poked with needles…..a disgusting sensation that covers my whole body…..

Sensei’s eyes changed and his expression changed to that of anger.

“…..T-this guy is…… To bring such a thing….. So you unsealed the seal of Cocytus…..!”

Cao Cao took a step forward and starts to speak as if he was reading a poem.

“—It says that it is the poison of God. It says it is the evil intention of God. A forbidden being that made the people in Eden eat the fruit of knowledge. The first crime that was judged by the dead God from the Bible and still continues to be in effect. [Dragon-Eater] Samael. The angel that received the curse of God who hated dragons and snakes. A dragon. Yes. A dragon whose existence was eliminated from the record.”

Hearing the name of the restrained dragon, everyone besides me put on a shocked face.

“…..Sensei. What is that….? Even I know that it’s dangerous just by looking at it.”

I ask Sensei.

“Do you know the story of Adam and Eve?”

“Y-Yeah. I at least know about that.”

Weren’t they the first man and woman? The ones who were at the garden of Eden or something. Sensei begins to explain.

“The one who turned into a snake and made Adam and Eve eat the fruit of knowledge is that. That action brought the fury of “God from the Bible”. So God started to hate snakes and dragons to the extreme. That’s the reason why dragons are depicted as evil in many of the texts from the Church. He is a being that was made of the evil intentions of God, because of God’s hate, a being who received many kinds of poisons and curses on his body. Naturally it is impossible for God, who is sacred, to have evil intentions. That’s why it has intense poison. Not only can it extinguish dragons but it can affect other things besides dragons, so it was sealed in the depths of Cocytus. The curse it received from God is the ultimate dragon-slayer. That alone makes him an existence that is a brutal dragon-slayer…..!”

……A fallen-angel……snake……dragon…..that was hated by God……! God’s poison….! God’s evil intent……!

I understood that this thing was very dangerous just by hearing the explanation!

…...What kind of monster did these guys bring! God’s evil intent and intense poison which is hatred towards dragons! Isn’t this thing a very dangerous existence to me!? Sensei then yells.

“What is the Olympian God who is in charge of the World of the dead thinking…..? ---! P-Perhaps….!”

Cao Cao smiles at Sensei’s deduction.

“Yes. We negotiated with Hades-dono. I was allowed to summon him while having many layers of restrictions on it.”

“….That bastard! He didn’t like the fact that Zeus was going to cooperate with other factions!”

Sensei spat out with hatred. So that skeleton-God lent his hand to the Hero-faction! No matter how you think about it, it is a serious issue that will bring ruckus to the alliance! He seems like he hates devils and fallen-angels but to help a terrorist! Cao Cao spins around his holy-spear and then points at us.

“So like that Azazel-dono, Vali, and Sekiryuutei. The curse he has will devour and kill dragons. He can kill dragons for certain. It’s not on the same level as the dragon-slayer holy-swords. You can’t even compare them. Ascalon is like a toothpick to him, Hyoudou Issei.”

Ascalon as a toothpick!? No. Judging from this overwhelming hatred I feel, that Samael-san is a dragon-slayer that is on a different level from my Ascalon!

“What are you planning to do by using it!? Are you trying to annihilate dragons!? ……No. You guys are trying……..Ophis…….?”

Cao Cao smirks with amusement at Sensei’s words. He then clicks his fingers.

“-Devour her.”

GYUN!

Something very fast went past us! Then…..

GULP!

I heard a weird sound, it sounded like something was gulped!

When I looked around, there was a black block created at the place where Ophis was standing! A size big enough to envelop a person! So that’s what happened! From the black block, there was a tentacle growing out. When I looked at where the tentacle was leading to, it was connected to the fallen-angel dragon that was pinned to the cross! There was a very black tentacle, his tongue, growing out from his mouth!

-Samael gulped Ophis!?

I became confused at the sudden happening! But I could tell that those guys were up to no good by having Samael wrap Ophis with its tongue!

“Hey Ophis! Answer me!”

I talk to the block! But there isn’t any response from Ophis! This is bad! I’m sure this is really bad!

“Yuuto! Cut it!”

With Rias’s command, Kiba creates a holy-demonic sword in his hand and went slashing towards the black block!

-But, the black block devoured the holy-demonic sword and made the its blade disappear! Only half of the holy-demonic sword was left in Kiba’s hand!

“……It erased the holy-demonic sword? Can this black block erase an attack itself?”

Kiba created another demonic-sword and slashed it towards the tentacle, Samael’s tongue! But it achieved the same results as before! When he went to cut it, the part of the blade that touched it was erased, and the tip of the blade got split in two!

[Half Dimension!]

When Vali made the wings of light appear, Divine-Dividing, his surroundings became warped and all the things got reduced to half while making the sound of the Sacred Gear at the same time. That is Vali’s halving ability! But it didn’t have any effect on the black block or Samael’s tongue. Did he learn how to use that ability without turning into Balance-Breaker!?

“How’s this then?”

Then Vali shoots a wave of demonic power from his hand, but it was also devoured by the black block as if it was nothing. It didn’t even give any damage to the black block! It doesn’t even have a scratch or dent! It’s no use even with Vali!

“Then how about the power of destruction!”

Rias shoots it with enough demonic power to make things around her dissapear, but it didn’t do anything either! Is it stubbornly hard or does it have the power to avoid all attacks?

GULP. GULP.

While making a creepy voice, the tentacle attached to the block is getting bigger and is taking it towards Samael’s mouth. It seems like it is absorbing something from Ophis who is inside….. Wait, that’s it! Cao Cao did say “devour it” just before! Then I will just use the power of my Balance-Breaker and---

I made the Boosted Gear Scalemail appear immediately and wore it quickly! I also promoted to the usual Queen! When I was about to go hitting towards the block surrounding Ophis, Sensei stops me.

“Ise! Don’t take it on! He’s your ultimate natural enemy! He can’t be compared to Vali! That dragon must have the power to kill dragons easily! I mean, the situation is already bad since Ophis can’t even get out of it! The enemy is a dragon but don’t use Ascalon! We don’t know what will happen against the ultimate dragon-slayer!”

“Even if you say that, something terrible will happen if Ophis's caught by them right!?”

I shout. Then Xenovia goes forward immediately and slashes down her Durandal at Samael! The absolute wave from the holy-sword goes down towards Samael….

BANG!

There was something that hit it to the side….. It’s Cao Cao’s holy spear!

“You do a good attack from the start again, Xenovia of the Durandal. But there’s no second time.”

Cao Cao clicks his fingers.

“I thought I attacked with good timing…… Is my first strike with Durandal easy to read?” Xenovia asked.

"I also think it was good timing. But since she attacked first with Durandal at Kyoto, it’s natural that they would be on alert. Cao Cao did stop it easily. But you sure like to give a hello attack don’t you, Xenovia? I won’t say anymore than this!"

Then Vali turns into his armour form while releasing white lights.

“So my opponent is Samael. On top of that two high-tier Longinus possessors. I have no complaints.”

With Vali’s word, Kuroka and Le Fay also made a battle stance. I’m not copying Vali but I also made a battle stance. The Gremory team members also did the same. Sensei also enveloped his body with the armour of Fafnir! Anyway there’s one thing I know. If attacks don’t work on the block or Samael’s tongue, then we have to hit his body! It’s absolutely dangerous to have Ophis taken by these guys of who we can’t understand what they are thinking!

“Ravel. You are a guest and my precious manager. I can’t have you dying on me, so step back.”

Ravel nods and steps back with my request. That’s good. The wife from the House of Phoenix asked us to take care of Ravel but that doesn’t include battles that involve risking her life. I promised her that “I will protect Ravel”. In the worst case scenario, I have to at least make sure Ravel escapes. Of course I’m not planning to let the others or myself die either! Looking at our battle stances, Cao Cao put on a smile of enjoyment.

“With you guys as my opponent, it will be dangerous if I don’t become serious. Since Hades only allowed us to use Samael once. Our plan will fail if we don’t decide it here. Georg! I will leave the controlling of Samael to you. I will take care of these guys.”

Georg says it while controlling Samael.

“Can you take the two-heavenly dragons, the Governor of fallen-angels, and the Gremory team by yourself?”

“I will make it happen. If I can’t do something as simple as this, then I basically have no right to hold this spear.”

Cao Cao’s spear then makes a bright light!

“---Balance Breaker.”

Saying that, something in Cao Cao’s body changes! A ring of light that gave out intense light appears behind him and 7 bowling ball sized balls floating up in the air appeared! It was a silent Balance-Breaker. Until now I have seen many types of Balance-Breaker, but this is my first time seeing something so silent and simple. Even the spear looks basically the same. Cao Cao takes a step forward. At the same time, the 7 orbs around him move as well.

“This is my [True Longinus]’s Balance-Breaker, [Polar Night Longinus Chakravartine]. ---Though it’s still incomplete.”

Seeing Cao Cao, Sensei shouts.

“---! A sub-species! The Balance-Breaker that the previous [True-Longinus] used until now was [True-Longinus Götterdämmerung]! From the name of it, are you implying that you are the ideal ruler!? Damn it! Even I don’t know what those 7 orbs are!”

“I actually want to call myself the ideal ruler of heaven. That sounds cooler right?”

I don’t understand what Cao Cao is saying. But a sub-species of the ultimate holy-spear! What kind of ability does it have!? Vali then says it after standing next to me.

“Careful. That Balance-Balance-Breaker has the ability called “Seven Treasures” and has 7 Sacred Gear abilities. So there are abilities for each orb.”

I got shocked at what he said!

“Seven!? Not two or three!?”

“Yeah seven. Each of those abilities is deadly. Though I only know three of them. That’s why it’s called the Ultimate-Longinus. There’s no doubt that he’s the strongest out of pure humans. …….Yes among humans.”

…..Even Vali says this much…… But the pressure coming out of his body is quite lower compared to Samael's….. I was more nervous in the fight against Sairaorg-san….. But I shouldn’t let my guard down. I was almost killed by him once in Kyoto. ---With the normal state holy spear that is. Cao Cao then moves one of his hands forward. ----One of the orbs reacts and goes in front of his hand.

“One of the Seven-Treasures. Cakka Ratana.”

Saying that, the orb disappears and……

BREAK!

The sound of something being destroyed violently echoes throughout the lobby.

When I looked around, I saw that the Ex-Durandal still held by Xenovia was destroyed!

“……! My Ex-Durandal…..!”

Xenovia also couldn’t react to the sudden action, and her sword was destroyed! The Excalibur, which was made into Durandal’s sheath, was broken!

Ho-Ho-Hold on a sec! It got destroyed like that!? What did the orb that just disappeared do…..and why did Ex-Durandal get destroyed all of a suddennnnn!!

No-one could react to it and everyone was astonished at the Ex-Durandal being destroyed!

“---That is the first one. Cakka Ratana’s ability is to destroy weapons. The ones who can oppose this ability are those who are quite strong.”

Cao Cao says. Then the next moment…..

SPLASH!

There was blood spurting from Xenovia’s body…… That’s because there was a hole in her stomach.

“Gough….”

Xenovia spits out blood from her mouth and falls down! I can tell that it’s a critical wound with one glance!

“I also made the Chiyatsu Calathana change into the shape of a spear and pierced her stomach with it. If you couldn’t see that, then that means you can’t defeat me, wielder of Durandal.”

Hearing Cao Cao, everyone spread out around the scene.

“Hurry with healing Xenovia! Asia!”

Rias reacts right away and orders Asia to heal. Asia was standing dazed looking at the fallen Xenovia, she soon realises the situation and goes to Xenovia’s aid!

“Xenovia-san! Noooooooo!”

Asia started the healing while crying out loud!

………………….! Bastard! This shit! You hurt Xenovia! You hurt my comrade! Both me who was enraged and…..Kiba went towards Cao Cao! Just like me, Kiba was also furious!

“Cao Caooooooo!”

“I won’t forgive you!”

Simultaneous attacks by me and Kiba! But Cao Cao easily dodged them with his holy-spear and made another orb come to his hand!

“---Itsutei Ratana.”

FU!

The orb went past us and straight towards Rias and Akeno-san! Rias and Akeno-san react to it and try to attack. But…..

“Burst!”

The orb reacts to Cao Cao’s word and it started to emit lights that envelop Rias and Akeno-san!

“Ku!”

“With something like this!”

Both of them try to attack even though they are enveloped in light.

……But Rias and Akeno only have their hands put forward……

Both of them looked at their hands with suspicious looks. They try to attack again by putting their hand forward. ----But like I thought nothing happened! …..I-Is this perhaps….!

“Itsutei Ratana completely seals the unique power women have temporarily. This also needs a certain level of strength or you won’t be able to cancel it out. ----With this, three down.”

Rias, Akeno-san and I were shocked at Cao Cao’s words! He can seal women’s powers!? If people with the strength of Rias and Akeno-san can’t oppose it, then that means Xenovia, Irina and Asia can’t either! And if we have Asia who can heal sealed, then we are over! Xenovia is currently being healed! If we have Asia get sealed, then Xenovia will die! Cao Cao then laughed loudly. He had an expression of enjoyment of this battle.

“Fufufu. Defeating all of you in this limited space. ----Fancy attacks will give a negative effect on the complicated controlling of Samael. I will protect Georg and Samael with the minimum amount of movement that is necessary while I also go straight ahead by myself! What a magnificently hard mission it is! But….”

Kuroka and Le Fay have their hands glowing with demonic-powers and magic and have them aimed at Georg and Samael! They are aiming to attack when the guard is down! Then Cao Cao’s other orb heads to that direction!

“You are in the way –nyan!”

Kuroka tries to take down the orb with her other hand!

“---Atsusa Ratana. It can teleport the person I choose.”

After Cao Cao says that, both Kuroka and Le Fay disappeared from where they were out of my sight. When I looked in a different direction Kuroka and Le Fay were there! So this is what he means by teleport! I saw something outrageous when I found out about that ability! Kuroka and Le Fay who have their hands put forward. Their hands were directed towards….Xenovia and Asia! The attacks they did were originally meant to be aimed at Georg and Samael. But because of the ability, their aim was altered! The fire in their hands can’t be stopped all of a sudden…..

“Don’t mess around! [Welsh Sonic-boost Knight]!”

[Change Star Sonic!!!!]

I changed the evil-pieces within me! I purged off the armour and went towards Asia with armour meant for high speed! I won’t let you! She’s my important Asia! With some attack like that! To take down Asia not with your own attack but with Vali-Team’s attack……!

I went in front of Asia with highspeed and acted as her shield! Asia was so concentrated on healing Xenovia that she didn’t react to the attack! Yeah, that’s not a problem! I will protect Asia! ---Though I doubt I can withstand Kuroka and Le Fay’s attack with this thin armour…..! Even so, I will protect Asia with my life!

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Along with a loud sound, both their attacks hit me without mercy! The impact and pain go through my whole body!

……My thin armour gets completely destroyed by the powerful attacks…… I spit out blood because of the intense damage I received……

“Gaha…….”

I spit out large amounts of blood.

…..Shit. “It hurts”…..doesn't even express the pain I’m feeling…… Because of their attacks, I have my armour destroyed and took a critical wound to my body. I have black burns from my chest to my stomach. My flesh is torn and I have blood coming out of it……..

……Damn it….. My weakness is the naked me……. And there’s only flesh and blood underneath the armour…… I fall down lifelessly. While falling down, I can see Cao Cao who seems to be smirking.

“Sekiryuutei. I already know your powers. It seems like you awakened to an unstable and more powerful ability in the match against Bael…… Though there are many ways to fight against it. The combo of Triaina is powerful. But there is a slight time lag when you change the evil-pieces. If I attack with the correct timing for it, I can take it down. ---I can take you down in a few moves if I find out the strategy method.”

……Bastard…….! He completely understands the Triaina and my weakness…..! If an unexpected attack was to be shot towards the defenceless Asia, I will definitely go to her aid with Triaina “Knight” that can move at high speed. And the weakness of Triaina-Knight is ……..the thin armour.

Knowing that, he teleported Kuroka and Le Fay who have high magic attacks in front of Asia. He also calculated that I would appear there……

He saw through my moves just by seeing it once…….!

…..I can’t even be a challenge to him……. That is the obvious power difference between us……!

“Ise-san!”

Asia realises that I am in a critical condition, and she tries to send an aura of healing while she’s healing Xenovia. But I need to have her continue healing Xenovia!

“Don’t! Asia! …..I’m still okay. Heal Xenovia first….”

“But! Ise-san, your stomach……!”

Don’t cry Asia. It’s just that the blood isn’t stopping….. This won’t kill me……..! I’m on the ground but I see a gold armour and pure white armour.

“Valiiiiiiii! Come with me!”

“Geez. I just want to fight by myself…..!”

Vali complains but heads towards Cao Cao with Sensei! It’s high speed! They closed the distance between Cao Cao immediately! The spear of light that Sensei holds and Vali’s punch covered with demonic power are released towards Cao Cao at the same time!

“A recital contest between the Governor of fallen-angels and Hakuryuukou! I can rise even higher if I can overcome this!”

Cao Cao accepts this situation happily, and dodges the high speed attack by Sensei and Vali by an inch! He can dodge that!? Cao Cao, is he really human!? He surpasses humans and super-beings!

“The armour-type Balance-Breaker that is an embodiment of power accomplishes a magnificent power-up. But…… because the power-up is too dramatic, the aura leaks out of the armour a lot! As a result, it’s easy to predict how you will attack next if I just read the flow of aura! See! Since you increase the attack of your weapons or fist, the aura concentrates on those areas!”

Cao Cao says that while dodging! ---The weakness of armour-types!? He looks at things like that!? How much of a strategy does he have against us!? Then Cao Cao who dodged their attacks has his right eye glowing in golden light!

“Do you know about the Evil-eye!? Yes, the special power that is inside the eye! I also had that planted in me! I had it replaced with the eye I lost against Sekiryuutei! It’s my new eye!”

Cao Cao who dodged both Sensei and Vali’s attack looks down. Then Sensei’s legs start to turn into stone!

“----Medusa’s eye!”

Sensei makes a noise with his tongue after realising the identity of his eye! Medusa! Even an idiot like me knows! The female monster who turns anyone into stone with her hair made from snakes! He implanted her eye in himself!? The 7 abilities, Holy-spear and Medusa’s eye! How much power does this bastard, Cao Cao have!?

STAB!

The holy-spear pierces Sensei’s stomach along with a nasty sound. The golden armour crumbled easily and Sensei’s body spurt out blood!

“……Guha! …….What is this insane power he has…….!”

Sensei falls to the ground while coughing out blood. Cao Cao says it while pulling out his spear.

“Well I did fight with you once so I know how to deal with you. ---The weakness of that artificial Sacred Gear is that it can’t reflect the power of Fafnir to you.”

“Azazel! Damn you Cao Caoooooo!”

Vali who became enraged by Sensei being taken down releases an especially large block of demonic powers towards Cao Cao!

“You were abandoned by your parents because they thought you were a monster, and the one who picked you up and taught you how to use your power was Governor Azazel wasn’t it!? Are you enraged because the life saver who raised you got taken down!?”

The demonic-power shot released by Vali! Even if it’s Cao Cao, if he gets hit by it directly….! But one of the orbs went flying towards his shot!

“---Mani Ratana. It can release the attack directed at me to someone else. Vali. Your demonic-power is enormous. If I get hit, I will die. Guarding against it is also hard. ---But there is a way to ward it off.”

Vali’s demonic shot got absorbed by the whirlwind created in front of the orb!

The whirlwind disappeared after absorbing all of it, and a new whirlwind appeared in front of Koneko-chan! Hold on a sec! From Cao Cao’s explanation before he can redirect an attack aimed at him to someone else……! Which means…..

Shit! Move! Move it, my bodyyyyyyyy! While dripping blood I got up while putting strength in my legs. But……. Gough!

I puked out blood from my mouth and fell down! From the new whirlwind, Vali’s demonic shot that was absorbed before is released! The powerful demonic shot was redirected towards Koneko-chan!

“Idiot! Why aren’t you moving Shirone!”

Kuroka screams and goes between Koneko-chan and Vali’s attack, to become her shield…..

BAAAAAAAANG!

The sound of the explosion echoes throughout the lobby! Kuroka received a direct hit from Vali’s shot that was redirected by Cao Cao towards Koneko-chan. Kuroka falls while bleeding and has smoke coming out. Koneko-chan embraces her body right away.

“……W-What were you standing all airheaded for…..”

Kuroka says that with a voice that almost sounds like it is about to disappear.

“…..Nee…..Nee-sama!”

“Cao Cao, you took down my comrade with my own hands……!”

Vali's body is enveloped with an aura filled with rage! It looks like his anger is rising even more! It’s my first time seeing him get mad this much! And the cause for that is Sensei and Kuroka who were beaten!

“Vali. You think too deeply about your comrades. You look exactly the same as the Sekiryuutei over there who is pathetically on the floor. ----When did the two-heavenly dragons become that weak? Also I know that you can’t grasp my ability because you have only seen a few of my abilities before. ----That’s why I attacked with the Seven-Treasure ability that I haven’t shown you on purpose. You should be glad. With this, the only one who knows all 7 abilities is you.”

“Then I will also show you! I, the one who is about to awaken! The Two-Heavenly dragons that…..”

That bastard Vali! He started saying the chant for the “Juggernaut Drive”. Cao Cao then shouts at Georg as if he realised it.

“Georg. Juggernaut-Drive might destroy this artificial space!”

“I know.------Samael!”

Georg put his hand forward and created a magic-circle. Reacting to that, the restraint on Samael’s right hand comes off!

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

While making a creepy cry, Samael’s right hand is directed at Vali!

BUUUUUUN!

Vali is enveloped by a black thing at the same time the air rumbles! It looks like the black block that is enveloping Ophis!

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

When Samael howled, the black block bursts!

BASHUUUN!

At the same time that the block bursts, Vali also gets released. ---But his armour also bursted along with the

Chapter end
