Chapter 97 - Battle in pseudo-space! The Strongest Dragon Slayer !! P-1

Third person pov

 

Regulus Nemea, which Daniele held in his hand, charged towards Cao Cao behind the train carriage door with all his might while surrounded by a huge amount of golden aura.

 

But the scene where the axe was supposed to smash the door to hit the Chinese hero didn't happen; instead, the axe hit the seemingly weak door....and bounced back.

 

Daniele felt a sting in his arm as he looked at the door in surprise.

 

Cao Cao just continued to stand there with a simple smile on his face.

 

As if he had already seen what was going to happen.

 

"Are you surprised?"

 

Hearing Cao Cao's voice, Daniele glared at him while Rias stepped forward.

 

"Dany, let me try too."

 

The Power of Destruction in Rias's hand began to harden and take shape as it appeared.

 

 With Rias' unique technique, the axes, spears and lances formed from PoDs flew to the train door once again.

 

However, just like what happened to Daniele, the attack only hit the door, leaving not even the slightest scratch on it.

 

Rias was the one who knew the destructive and penetrating power of things created with [Extinguished Crystallization], and the fact that there wasn't even a scratch on the door shocked Rias as much as Daniele.

 

"*chuckle* Are you surprised, the area you are in is not a train carriage, but rather a dimension created by Dimension Lost's Balance Breaker....actually, a pocket dimension within a pocket dimension.Created by the High-Tier Longinus' Balance Breaker himself .You can thank Georg for that ---"

 

"So you're looking for air with a Longinus that isn't yours?"

 

Before he could finish, Daniele interrupted him; his wings and halo had already appeared, emitting crackles of Holy Power as if to show his anger.

 

"Hahaha, aggressive as always~"

 

Cao Cao let out a small laugh as he ignored his anger

 

"Just come to topick!"

 

Rias said as she stepped forward, the high heels she was wearing making a distinct sound on the floor.

 

"Of course, after all, it's rude to keep the Strongest Devil's sister waiting."

 

Even though Cao Cao's words sounded gentle, his voice was filled with sarcasm.

 

Rias' eyebrows couldn't help but twitch in anger.

 

"You see, Ophis' betrayal of the Brigade was not taken well, I will not let such a danger go unpunished .That's why I'm gonna kill her"

 

"Nonsense, you're going to kill Ophis, how do you even plan on doing that? "

 

While Rias protested, Cao Cao smiled without even bothering to respond to her.

 

Daniele was already aware of his plan, he whispered unconsciously through his teeth

 

"....Samael"

 

While Rias looked at Daniele in surprise, the descendant of the Chinese Hero looked at Daniele with a predatory smile

 

"Look, you were aware of it, it shouldn't be hard after all there are very few things that can affect Dragon Gods, yes we can kill Ophis with the effect of 'The Poison of God'.The weakest being defeats the strongest...isn't that a true hero story? So wait until I finish, okay Daniele. Once this is over, I'll take care of business with you myself. And you Rias Gremory , I wonder how lost your beloved Peerage will be without their [King] who treats them like family...maybe they won't even be able to fight.That's why when Georg created this pocket dimension I specifically asked him to separate the two of you.

 

Rias' eyes glowed red as Cao Cao's glance at her made her grind her teeth.

 

"You.....how.....dare you "

 

Cao Cao just shrugged and turned around, preparing to leave as he closed the door.

 

"This isn't ending here Cao Cao...I'll make you pay dearly "

 

Daniele's words were as cold as ice, his golden eyes had vertical purple pupils.

 

Cao Cao simply smiled as he walked out the door, closing it behind him.

 

.......

 

When the Gremory Group, Lavinia, Shigune, the Church Quartet, and Azazel suddenly found themselves in the air, they instinctively released their wings to avoid falling.

 

'A purple world? Dimension Lost.....'

 

The whole world was essentially the same as outside, but everything was purple, as if it were frozen.

 

Azazel's gaze shifted to the people in front of him as he gained a certain idea of the situation with a glance at his surroundings.

 

The person who created this dimension and his damn traitor brother

 

'So they separated Daniele and Rias from us, for what, I understand that Rias' sudden disappearance affected Peerage but why Daniele too?'

 

Azazel's gaze then shifted to the train frozen in midair.

 

'Daniele had previously shown that they could enter Dimension Lost's Balance Breaker dimension from the outside, so it's more likely that would be imprisoned rather than left outside, and that's the most suitable place for them to be imprisoned...'

 

"Buchou... where's buchou!?"

 

Issei said while looking angrily at the person who created the artificial dimension, Georg.

 

{Boost}

 

 [Boosted Gear] began to rapidly increase its host's power as it manifested on his left arm.

 

"Calm down, Ise-kun."

 

Akeno said as she placed her hand on Issei's shoulder.

 

She was as worried as Issei, but as the [Queen] of Peerage, she knew that she had to stay calm right now.

 

While the church trio was equally worried, Shigune and Lavinia were more controlled because of the many things they experienced in Slash Dog and the mission they went on.

 

Rossweisse has been to many places and seen a lot of nonsense with Odin, she knows that the first thing to do at this point is to stay calm.

 

"Georg...."

 

Lavinia looked at Georg ahead with a complicated expression.

 

The two of them had known each other since he had been entrusted to Grauzauber, he could be considered a sort of brother to Lavinia... but now he was there as her enemy as terrorist

 

Georg grumbled at Lavinia's gaze across from him.

 

He already had an idea about her thoughts

 

"What, did your resolve waver when you saw your childhood friend?"

 

"Fuck off"

 

Georg quickly snapped at Satanael's words, while Satanael just shrugged.

 

At that moment, Azazel's voice was heard on the other side.

 

"Shall I assume you didn't come to be arrested? "

 

Azazel asked with his familiar grin

 

Satanael's response was a chuckle

 

"No Azazel, I have to realize my dream of not dying or getting caught yet maybe~~ I'll think about it later "

 

Azazel rolled his eyes and pointed at the train.

 

"Aren't Daniele and Rias there?"

 

Georg's momentary start was the only answer Azazel expected.

 

"W--What nonsense are you talking about, them---!!!"

 

Georg tried to object

 

"That's enough Georg, you can't fool him, after all he came and stood over Grigori all this time for a reason, otherwise with another leader it would have collapsed long ago."

 

"Heh~ So much praise from Mr. [Hero], I'm going to be spoiled."

 

Azazel's gaze shifted to Cao Cao, who left the train and joined Georg on top of it in one move.

 

"I'm telling the truth, after all that makes taking you down more worthwhile"

 

Cao Cao's gaze then shifted to Ophis, who hadn't spoken there at all.

 

"So you betrayed us, Ophis?"

 

Ophis tilted her head.

 

"No. You told me you would kill Baka-Red, but you failed."

 

"Indeed...after all, Great Red is a big target, but betrayal is betrayal, right?"

 

As soon as Cao Cao said this, the True Longinus appeared in his hand and extended forward at full speed.

 

While Azazel, Lavinia and Rossweisse created magical barriers with the fastest reaction, the spear pierced them all as if it were paper, creating a horrifying scene.

 

...Ophis was pierced

 

As for the pierced Ophis...she calmly stared at the spearhead impaled on her chest.

 

Without saying anything, Cao Cao tightened his grip on True Longinus, and enough Holy Power began to gather at the spearhead to cause Azazel and Devil's to step back for a moment.

 

At this moment, Azazel turned and threw light spears flying at Cao Cao at full speed, but was blocked by the purple mist that appeared when Georg extended his hand.

 

Azazel let out a 'tsk' sound as the spear finally charged....and exploded!

 

The Devils were relatively unharmed by the Holy Light as Azazel created a barrier to protect them as the light suddenly flashed, but the light slowly faded.

 

There stood Ophis as before, but now there was a hole…a giant hole right in her chest!

 

But surprisingly, there was no blood or anything else flowing from the hole, just a hole.

 

"How terrifying, the power I just used would have dealt a lot of damage even to a God with the opposite attribute, but just standing there.... As expected of the Dragon God, it must be said "

 

"The God of the Bible couldn't kill me, and neither can you"

 

"True, but who knows, aren't Heroes the ones who achieve the impossible?"

 

Cao Cao withdrew his spear at his words, and as the wound in Ophis's chest closed, disappeared as if had never been there, even her bored look remained the same.

 

As Cao Cao still calm expression made Azazel frown

 

"Ophis, can you stay behind for a while, they're probably planning something "

 

Azazel had a terrible premonition so he wanted Ophis to stay back for now.

 

Ophis stared at Azazel for a moment with her blank, void-like eyes... then just shrugged.

 

 Azazel breathed a sigh of relief as an elemental bombardment was suddenly sent towards them.

 

"I got it!"

 

At that moment, Xenovia dashed forward and swung a charged Durandal as a wave of Holy Power shot forward.

 

While he blocked most of the attacks, there were certainly a few that slipped through.

 

"Enough of this nonsense!"

 

But Bova, already at his limit, let out a furious roar and breathed out his fire breath as he grew to a larger size.

 

Before the smoke had a chance to clear, a figure rushed forward from the smoke.

 

A Fallen with a hand of Purple Holy Flames and 10 black wings

 

----Satanael

 

But before he could advance, he was blocked by the movement of Azazel, who held a sword in his hand, in which light and darkness were intertwined.

 

Satanael's fiery hand suddenly turned into a torrent of flames and advanced towards Azazel.

 

With just a grunt, Azazel slammed the side of the sword into the torrent of fire and took a quick turn with the momentum.

 

He quickly approached Satanael with momentum and sent a sword swing directly at his head.

 

When Satanael ducked to avoid it, the fire stream turned into a fire hand again.

 

As he punched Azazel, the first one swung the sword in his hand in response.

 

As the fire hand and the sword collided, both sent shockwaves into the surrounding area and took a step back.

 

All this took less than 10 seconds

 

As the smoke completely disappeared, Georg appeared standing there with numerous magic circles surrounding him.

 

"It's not a good idea to ignore us "

 

He said as he pushed his glasses up, but his gaze was completely on Lavinia.

 

A sad expression appeared on Lavinia's face as she finally sighed...

 

As the surroundings suddenly began to cool, a figure appeared from the ice behind her

 

It was a Doll

 

Three meter tall doll made of ice in the form of a woman in a dress with four slender arms. Its face doesn't have a nose or a mouth, it has six eyes on the left side of its face, while the right side of its face is studded with something resembling the thorns of a rose.

 

...Aka Longinus [Absolute Demise]

 

One of Absolute Demise's arms went to Lavinia's hand, the other under her leg, and he lifted her up with a graceful air.

 

"I will be your opponent, G. "

 

"Are you still calling me that?"

 

"Of course we are friends"

 

"Stop dreaming!"

 

As lightning bolts flew from the magic circle that opened next to Georg, Lavinia suddenly waved her wand gracefully and created barriers that blocked every Lightning bolt.

 

As Georg sent forth the purple mist of [Dimension Lost], the cold air from [Absolute Demise] restrained them for a moment, allowing Longinus, who was holding Lavinia, to quickly dodge.

 

"Let's see how far you can run!"

 

As Georg shouted, a magic circle opened under Georg

 

Using it as a platform, he flew towards Lavinia on top of it.

 

Cao Cao looked at Shigune, the Church, and the Gremory team who were left behind while chuckling at the scene that was happening before his eyes.

 

They were all protecting Ophis behind them.

 

"With the worst ones gone, I guess I'm left with the little blushes, anyway Ophis, can't you just give up, There's no one there to stop me and you know it "

 

"Try it and see, you bastard!"

 

[Boosted Gear] announces notification while Issei shouts

 

{Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!}

 

{Boost , Boost, Boost Boost}

 

"Take this!"

 

Issei, clad in his Balance Breaker, quickly created a 'Dragon Shot' and sent it towards Cao Cao.

 

Akeno also formed [Holy Lightning] in her hand

 

Cao Cao only swung [True Longinus] while Holy Lightning and Dragon Shot flew at him full speed.

 

The long blade of the spear cut through both attacks like paper. But the attack wasn't over yet.

 

Koneko released her white cat ears and tails, Touki appeared around her and put her into [Nekomata Mode Level 2 ] .

 

Cao Cao quickly backed down and avoided Koneko's attack.

 

Koneko, unfazed by his attack, placed her hand on the train wagon roof and kicked Cao Cao upwards.

 

His body flew up as the attack hit him squarely in the torso.

 

A blow of this magnitude combined with Rook's power, Touki and of course Senjutsu would of course be fatal for Cao Cao, but ----

 

Cao Cao's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Koneko's ankle, a bright white aura surrounding it.

 

.....Touki!

 

Quickly pulling Koneko up, she reversed the situation between the two.

 

As soon as his feet touched the on the train , he spun around and kicked Koneko's waist, which was unbalanced in the air.

 

"Gah!"

 

Koneko, who was making a sound of pain, was quickly caught by Asia as she flew backwards

 

Xenovia suddenly appeared on his left, her blue-gold great sword, Durandal in her hand , it swung

 

{Change Star Sonic!}

 

Issei had just changed his armor as he appeared on the other side

 

{Change Solid Impact!}

 

Issei's armor punched Cao Cao as he entered the [Rook] state

 

The heir of the Chinese Hero left the [True Longinus], which he held horizontally in his hand without the slightest concern...

 

The spear extended at full speed to both sides simultaneously, the spearhead easily shattering Issei's [Rook] armor, sending him flying back.

 

Even though the spear didn't kill him in one hit, as it hit his left arm, which was a dragon arm, it pierced through the armored hand, causing Issei to bite his teeth in pain.

 

Xenovia on the other side wasn't much better, the lower, blunt lower side of the spear was moved faster than Durandal hit Cao Cao and sending her flying as it buried itself directly into her stomach, causing a spray of blood to come from her mouth.

 

As the spear quickly returned to its original state, Cao Cao caught it and quickly flipped it over.

 

One hand was used for a second leap while briefly touching Bova's back as it tried to sink its teeth into him.

 

Of course, not before making a slash in the air with his Longinus on Bova's back.

 

"aaarrgggg!!!"

 

As the young dragon was screaming for prey, it crashed into the section ahead of the train, causing the entire train to shake for a moment.

 

Suddenly, several green arrows quickly hit the wound while smoke was coming out of half of it.

 

Bova pressed his Dragon Aura onto the wound to resist the pain as the healing arrows of [Twilight Healing] sent by Asia brought some relief to Bova.

 

"Blade Blacksmith! / Sword Birth!"

 

At that moment, Irina and Kiba activated their Sacred Gears simultaneously as they took action.

 

The intertwined Holy and Demonic Swords were continuously created as they advanced towards Cao Cao

 

Without much concern, Cao Cao raised the [True Longinus] and sent out the Holy Power beam.

 

The massive attack continued straight ahead, clashing with the swords and tearing them apart as it went straight ahead

 

As the Holy Attack grew bigger and bigger in Kiba and Irina's eyes,especially a chill ran down Kiba's spine,

 

Fortunately, before the attack hit them, a giant figure appeared in front of them.

 

It saved Kiba and Irina while all the Holy Power was being sucked into this figure's mouth

 

"Well, to face the [Fiend of Gluttony] like this, it's definitely a power no less than Longinus"

 

True, it was True Form Poh who saved Irina and Kiba

 

Shigune was in the back with Asia by her side, protecting Ophis.

 

Poo and Pon in their true form were on either side of them

 

The moment Cao Cao took a step forward, Norse magic circles surrounded him and several Demonic Power circles and ropes of water constrained his body.

 

Rossweisse and Lilitifa were focused on completely sealing Cao Cao's movements

 

"Multi-layered barriers and restrictions very impressive...but useless against a [Relic]"

 

With the effect of [True Longinus] emitting bright light with Cao Cao's words, the restrictions were instantly shattered

 

Essentially, it was the [Relic]s ability to break seals.

 

"You are definitely a top-class team, a Seraph's team and a Top-class Devils' Peerage---"

 

Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise them

 

"--But it's not enough"

 

The disdain in his eyes was very evident

 

[Hoh~ of course, for a user who is almost an expert in Longinus, of course they won't be able to handle it ---]

 

They were surprised by the sudden familiar voice , Cao Cao's gaze then shifted to Ophis, who was being protected by Shigune.

 

Ophis had a card in her hand

 

A card with a blue Demonic Power circle on it

 

In the middle of that circle,have a Crest similar to silver colored four-winged bat which has Devil horns on its head.

 

Lucifer Clan Crest, the original!

 

Of course, when Cao Cao saw this symbol, he instantly recognized the speaker.

 

Suddenly the magic circle glowed with power and grew bigger and bigger until someone came out of it.

 

A handsome young man with silver hair and ice blue eyes

 

Both the lineage of Lucifer and the owner of Longinus

 

Undoubtedly a miracle

 

Vali Lucifer entered the area

 

But he wasn't alone either; next to him was a woman wearing a kimono, with black hair and voluptuous curves that resembled a cat's features.

 

Kuroka quickly ran to Koneko's side

 

"Shirone!!"

 

Feeling her sister's worried eyes, Koneko couldn't help but feel complicated.

 

She was afraid of her sister, she was angry with her, she believed that she did not love her.

 

But...but .....when she saw her eyes, she was sure of her concern and care.

 

"I'm fine Nee-sama.....it's embarrassing. Please get up"

 

Koneko stood up as Kuroka slowly pulled away while saying this

 

"Kuroka-san??!"

 

Asia was surprised by Kuroka and Vali's arrival, but she relaxed a little, knowing full well that both of them were strong.

 

"Hahaha hello Asia-nya~ help is here~"

 

As Kuroka said this, her gaze shifted to her Leader and her opponent.

 

 Cao Cao and Vali was facing each other

 

Lucifer's gaze was wandering around

 

"If you're looking for Daniele Berti, he's out of the war right now."

 

Cao Cao said while speculating on Vali movements

 

"You mean outside of combat, huh? Heh, well, until he gets here, I'll have all the fun "

 

The 'until he comes' part made Cao Cao frown for a moment.

 

"How did you get in? "

 

Vali just grunted at Cao Cao's words.

 

"If you're wondering, Le Fay managed it easily thanks to Ophis being here as her contact, what the hell do you think you're doing here?"

 

Vali didn't mince his words, the [Divine Dividing] that appeared on his back glowed as his body simultaneously emitted immense Demonic Power.

 

Cao Cao simply raised the spear to defend himself, the light from the Holy Spear protecting him.

 

"Killing Ophis, of course. Such a being shouldn't be left wandering around."

 

But he received a slightly angry look from Vali

 

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think I'd let you kill one of my future goals by some mean means?"

 

{Vanishing Dragon, Balance Breaker!}

 

As the sound of [Divine Dividing] was heard, a flash of light appeared around Vali, and his body transformed into pure white armor with blue jewels embedded in it.

 

Cao Cao showed a cold smile at the feeling that emanated from him.

 

"I think I should take it seriously now too...well, I can't say I'm not happy, after all I'm looking forward to trying it too."

 

At that moment, those distinct words were heard as an extremely strong feeling rose up from Cao Cao.

 

".....Balance Breaker"

 

-------------------------

 

*Slash!* Slash!*Slash!*

 

A constant attack was taking place in the train carriage that trapped Daniele and Rias

 

Rias was already sweating and tired, having used up most of her reserves

 

Daniele was already in Balance Breaker and was constantly attacking the door.

 

Each blow produced sparks of golden aura that would spread throughout the room.

 

Even the manifested Regulus right next to him didn't hesitate to use his claws.

 

"Arrrrgggg!!!!"

 

With a scream of anger, Daniele hit the door with the Great Axe in his hand.

 

His wings and halo trembled as if responding to his emotions.

 

[Beast King Touki] , Mana Burst , Strengthening with magic, [Resonance] with Regulus. Daniele was giving it everything he had 

 

It is not known whether Cao Cao did it on purpose, but the sound of every fight outside was entering the room.

 

Daniele couldn't stand the fact that the womans he loved, his friends and allies were out there fighting to the death and he was helpless.

 

" Still *pants*.... not..... enough *pants*?"

 

Daniele was out of breath

 

Despite everything, the room was completely intact

 

[We cannot easily break a dimension created by High-Tier Longinus' Balance Breaker]

 

".....If our Balance Breaker isn't enough "

 

Regulus gave a confused look as he understood his words.

 

"Daniele, are you going to use Breakdown the Beast!?"

 

Rias, who had regained her composure a bit, gave Daniele a surprised look.

 

After Issei's Juggernaut Drive situation, Rias had done research on it

 

So she knows the answer to this situation

 

Daniele didn't answer her, she just extended her hand towards Rias, a barrier strengthened by the [infusion] quickly surrounded the red-haired woman.

 

Daniele was especially careful not to use light and Holy attributes so as not to hurt her

 

Daniele took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and with his eyes determined

 

[Holy Drive!]

 

Regulus Nemea's amethyst parts turned blue-gold, and his Holy Power suddenly increased exponentially.

 

Contrary to Rias's concern, Daniele wasn't planning on sacrifice life force.

 

 He began to chant

 

 

 

Daniele: This body, this soul, even if it falls into an endless ravine!

Regulus: My other self and I, we will exhaust this body and this soul to rise up the endless royal road!

Daniele: Raze, triumph, play, and shine!

Regulus: This is the body of a Demonic Beast!

Daniele: Lodged on top of my axe, is the glorious imperial authority!

Regulus: Dance!

Daniele: Dance!

Both: Bloom!!!

Both: Breakdown The Beast, Climb Over!

 

 

Daniele and Regulus's joint Chant instantly released a tremendous amount of aura from Regulus and Daniele

 

While Regulus was returning to Daniele's soul, Daniele's armor spread all over his body and a bright golden armor surrounded him.

 

As the number of wings increased to 12, they turned purple

 

The Great Axe in his hand transformed into a heavy, large Battle Axe

 

The aura spread throughout the area caused Rias to instinctively flinch.

 

Even her barrier was shaking, but her blue eyes were still looking at Daniele with concern.

 

Daniele gripping the battle pad with both hands

 

The golden wild aura was warping the surrounding area as it became more and more wild.

 

And he swung!!!

 

*BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!*

 

The aura focused on the door spread throughout the room, shattering the barrier protecting Rias.

 

Suddenly, cracks appeared everywhere and disappeared as if they had never happened.

 

....But it was not without effects

 

Cracks appeared on Daniele's gauntlets, blood dripping from the insides of his palms.

 

The force of the blow had recoiled, injuring his hands.

 

He gritted his teeth as he prepared to swing the axe once more, the pain completely ignored.

 

But when he couldn't swing it, the figure suddenly jumped out and hugged your arms.

 

"Daniele, please stop! You're going to cripple yourself!"

 

Rias was trying to stop Daniele from hitting second blow, hoping that he would come to himself.

 

"What do you expect me to do when everyone is fighting from outside!?"

 

As she instinctively screamed, sparks of aura tore through some of Rias's clothes, creating scratches.

 

However, Rias gritted her teeth and gripped Daniele's arms tighter, not letting him go.

 

As she raise her hand, you place all remaining PoD reserves around her hand.

 

Without the slightest hesitation, she swung her hand .....to Daniele's face.

 

*Slap!*

 

A slaping sound was heard in the place

 

"Even if you go out, how can you be of any use if you are crippled!???!!!"

 

Rias' scream made Daniele freeze for a moment.

 

He had felt the slap, he definitely did, of course there was no pain in the slightest, the current Rias was too weak to hurt him but he still felt her hand

 

[Partner, the girl is right, you can't break this barrier right now, if you push any further you'll get seriously hurt, are you just going out to be a hindrance?]

 

Daniele bowed his head as she finally lowered his arms.

 

"Then what should I do? ...

 

Daniele spoke in a complex voice

 

His gaze then shifted to Rias.

 

Looking at the wounds on her body, he felt a wave of guilt and a pang of pain.

 

"Excuse me...I—"

 

Rias shook her head

 

"I understand your anxious feelings, I feel the same way, people outside who I consider my family are suffering...we have to find a way"

 

[If it was a normal barrier, we would handle it, but this place was created especially for us, so it's very difficult to break it with your current strength. ]

 

Daniele's mind was racing

 

'I can't do it..... Regulus can't do it either, so...'

 

As his gaze shifted to Rias, Rias understood what Daniele meant as she heard Regulus's words out loud.

 

"No way, I spent all my Demonic Power on slap earlier, even if it wasn't for that, even a Satan-Class wouldn't be enough to break this place."

 

Rias was right, even if the area was made specifically for Daniele, not even a Low God-Class could break through it.

 

[Even infusion may not be enough, if we are going to follow this plan you must use resonance]

 

"[Resonance]? What's that?"

 

Rias asked as she looked at him in surprise.

 

Even though Daniele had just used it, of course she didn't understand it because she didn't know what it was.

 

"The resonance is....."

 

Daniele quickly explained to Rias, causing Rias to become lost in thought.

 

"Okay...let's try, it's better than nothing to do"

 

The two got closer as Rias also nodded

 

Daniele was trying to focus on the [Extra Joker] card inside him

 

But no matter how hard he tried, it just wouldn't work.

 

"Why....."

 

He frowned as he muttered

 

...Still no results

 

"Why not!"

 

This time he looked at his hands while screaming in surprise

 

Rias also gave a surprised look.

 

Then a small understanding appeared in her eyes as she looked at Daniele.

 

"Daniele.....I think you're the problem"

 

"Excuse me???"

 

While Daniele gave Rias a confused look, Rias continued

 

"You still refuse to harmonize with me for some reason in your heart, I don't know why but maybe you do it unconsciously"

 

"I-I...I can't be doing this, and how do you know that I'm the problem?"

 

Rias looked at Daniele with a sun-like smile as she giggled at his question.

 

She wrapped her arms around Daniele, bringing their bodies closer together.

 

"Rias, this isn't the time for this----"

 

"Shut up, just close your eyes"

 

Daniele finally closed his eyes as Rias quickly cut his words off.

 

Rias's body was so soft and smelled so good, even though Daniele was aware of that, what really caught his attention was something else.

 

*Badump*Badump*Badump*

 

Rias' heart was beating against his chest, he could feel it even through his armor.

 

When Daniele opened his eyes, he saw Rias looking at him.

 

"I am that kind of woman, if I love someone, I am someone who has no limits in going forward and supporting them. My love for you, my love for my Peerage, my love for my friend, you are all precious to me in different ways and everyone is in danger right now, so even if it's just for now.....Will you accept me?"

 

Daniele couldn't speak, he just looked at the girl in front of hı'm

 

[Daniele.....you can't escape anymore]

 

Regulus also appeared next to Daniele in human form

 

Daniele finally breathed a sigh of relief

 

"Rias.....give me your power "

 

Daniele said while looking directly into her eyes

 

"Fufu~~ how aggressive but this is also attractive "

 

At that moment, the two were surrounded by aura.

 

The one with Asia wasn't green, nor was the one with Regulus, no, it was crimson

 

A color that symbolizes a red-haired heir and is something she is proud

 

As Rias raised her hand, a PoD sphere appeared

 

While Daniele was placing his hand under her', Regulus's aura was injected with [Infusion]

 

The PoD sphere began to grow, expand and intensify

 

-----------------------------

 

"So you finally created it huh , [Blazer Shining Aura Darkness Blade]"

 

Satanael asked as he looked at the sword that was intertwined with light and darkness

 

"Well, it still can't take on Longinus *yet*, of course."

 

Azazel looked at the sword in his hand, whose light had faded and cracks had formed.

 

When he put the sword in the space storage room, he pulled out a familiar little trinket-like dark gold lance with a purple jewel on its handle from his jacket pocket.

 

"Fortunately, I'm running out of options, so here's [Downfall Dragon Spear Mk2] , Counter Balance!"

 

At that moment Azazel entered his Scale Mail {Down Fall Dragon Another Armor}

 

With the light bident in his hand, he still looked the same despite everything.

 

Of course for ordinary people

 

'His aura seems more refined and his armor...more powerful.'

 

Satanael, a Sacred Gear expert no less than Azazel, already understood the armor's differences

 

"Grit your teeth!"

 

Azazel said as he suddenly attacked

 

Caused Satanael to quickly use [Incinerate Anthem] to defend himself

 

The two came face to face once again as Bident and the Holy Fire clashed

 

As Longinus' flames tried to penetrate Azazel's armor, a unique golden dragon aura shone and suppressed the flames.

 

"This is Fafnir's!?-"

 

But Azazel didn't give him a chance

 

With a swing from Bident, he pushed him back

 

To the grunting Satanael extended his hand of fire

 

The fires that had just dispersed gathered around Azazel, creating many fireballs.

 

But Azazel didn't seem nervous at all

 

 A unique phenomenon occurred as golden ripples appeared behind Azazel

 

As the ripples turned into golden portals, several objects flew out at full speed.

 

While colliding with the fireballs surrounding him, the rest of them rushed at Satanael

 

Despite Satanael's defense, Azazel gained the upper hand as those things wounded him.

 

At that moment, Azazel 12 thrust his wing forward at full speed and stabbed the bident forward.

 

Before Bident could get too far as he swung, Satanael's [Incinerate Anthem] arm explosed with Holy Fires

 

*Booom!*

 

As the two were forced apart, Satanael, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, had also been damaged by his own flame and was bleeding from his chest.

 

On Azazel's side, there were only cracks in Scale Mail , but it seemed to be slowly but steadily repairing themselves.

 

"....seriously how did you convince a Dragon to use its treasure as ammunition?????"

 

Satanael's voice truly contained a tone of wonder and surprise.

 

He had seen things coming out of that golden portal, axes, swords, arrows and many other things, mainly Fafnir's treasure.

 

"Well it's an effect of my charm"

 

Azazel's narcissistic voice was heard, but only Azazel knew the contents of the deal

 

First of all, if he lost any treasure, he had to find three times the same type of treasure.

 

And his dual desire was even more absurd, perhaps because he was resurrected by Odin, but Fafnir was a pervert, quite

 

Basically, he had to steal the panties of the female population in Grigori, yes, including Penemue,

 

That day, the strongest (and most beautiful) woman of Grigori was filled with the intention of killing the unknown thief (Azazel) with a sweet smile on her face.

 

Of course Azazel stayed away from the Slash Dog girls

 

He has no intention of provoking either Daniele or Tobio in this matter

 

......They would pluck his feathers

 

"Seriously, it's hard even with Longinus~"

 

As Satanael spoke these words, his gaze turned to the Independent avatar Sacred Gear owners in the corner, Shigune and Lavinia.

 

"It shouldn't be a problem to get some help~"

 

As Satanael clenched his fingers, a familiar but completely changed shape appeared from the magic circle behind him.

 

A multiple figure tied upside down to a spiked half wheel

 

Unlike before, these figures seemed to have been forcibly glued together.

 

Sharp vines were digging into their skin

 

One had mouth covered, another eyes covered, and one whole face covered. 

 

Satanael's Artificial Sacred Gear

 

"So it's that thing again"

 

The pessimism in Azazel's voice made Satanael chuckle.

 

"Now that you mention it, I realize I haven't heard its name yet, right, I call it [Infernal note](Banquet of the Banshee) "

 

As Azazel's free hand clenched into a fist, he noticed something else about the Artificial Sacred Gear.

 

"Isn't that person over there different from the previous Banshee?"

 

Satanael clapped his hands in praise

 

"As expected of you, yes the previous one unfortunately died after the first use, but this one is more special, a chimera created by combining multiple Banshees... it got even better "

 

Satanael looked at Azazel curiously, eager to see how he would react.

 

However, the Strongest Fallen Angel just sighed.

 

"I was really hoping you'd be back somewhere, that it was all just your stupid plans, that I wouldn't have to take down another my sibling, but it seems impossible "

 

It was an empty, uninterested and bored tone.

 

"Now now, isn't it a little early to underestimate me, after all...the tables are about to turn"

 

Satanael snapped his fingers once more as he spoke in a lecturing tone.

 

[Infernal Note] All three screamed in different tones as electricity suddenly passed through the vines surrounding the three figures

 

The sound spread....for a moment

 

"Ha??"

 

Satanael turned around and saw that his Artificial Sacred Gear was working properly.

 

'But why is there no sound?'

 

When he turned to Azazel he finally got the answer

 

Currently, in his left hand, he held an object adorned with jewels that shone with light.

 

The object was so small, it would fly over Azazel's hand.

 

It was a purple circle with two small wings on the sides.

 

The circle had a gold-rimmed ucken with a lilac interior and a heart design on top of it with a gold rim and red interior

 

In the middle is a blue jewel

 

There were constant voices coming from it.

 

But it was more like a love song compared to Satanael's

 

"This...."

 

Azazel spoke to Satanael's surprise

 

" [Celestial Melody] (unforgettable love songs). An Artificial Sacred Gear I created specifically to counter your Artificial Sacred Gear "

 

Satanael blinked in surprise, then once again finally burst out laughing.

 

One that comes from within

 

"Azazel, Azazel, I really heard that you went so far against me but will this really work, if this is set up according to the previous series----"

 

Before Satanael could finish his words, the [Infernal Note] behind him suddenly began to scream louder and more complexly in complex patterns.

 

But these too disappeared after a moment.

 

"The Banshees aren't the only race that uses sound as a weapon; there's a race like that in Greek too. "

 

".....Siren"

 

Frowning, Satanael muttered

 

"Right, this [Celestial Melody] was essentially designed to instantly analyze and counter sound wavelengths, and for the audio, I had a recording of a few of my old acquaintances, including the Siren Queen.Itdoesn't matter what kind of scream you use... it will fall apart"

 

Satanael's expression crumpled for the first time as he flew back for a moment

 

"What, are you realizing now? Have you forgotten who you're fighting, Azazel? He gave you this trust? Longinus? Don't be stupid. I am Azazel!"

 

As its wings opened, jet black feathers scattered, those Kars feathers looked as if they could swallow the light.

 

"Do you think I'm at the head of the Grigori because I the strongest? No, our Faction isn't built entirely on power. I one who created Grigori from nothing, Grigori's First Researcher and mastermind all researchs!!"

 

Both Fafnir's golden dragon aura and his own Light Power emanated from Azazel at full power, but he disappeared in an instant.

 

As Satanael quickly raised his arm, the bident that appeared in front of him hit the fiery hand and sent him flying back.

 

Countless weapons rained down from the portals behind him

 

The weapons were still essentially tied to Fafnir and would automatically return, essentially an infinite arsenal!

 

With a wave of Satanael's arm, circles of purple fire flew out and clashed with the weapons.

 

Then, a giant glowing purple Cross appeared around Satanael's hand, the Cross that was the true form of the [Incinerate Anthem]!

 

Satanael flew forward as he grasped it

 

The bident in Azazel's hand and the cross in Satanael's hand collided, sending brutal shockwaves into the surrounding area.

 

Unfortunately, no one was paying attention at the moment, everyone was busy with their own struggles.

 

........

 

'What the hell is that damn guy doing in there!!!!!???!!!!'

 

Georg was screaming internally as he clutched his chest, cold sweat pouring down his face.

 

[Dimension Create](Utopia of Mist) , This was Dimension Lost's regular Balance Breaker.

 

As a High Tier Longinus with the potential to destroy the world, of course Balance Breaker was powerful

 

It can create pseudo-space that are almost impossible to get out of, even though it is easier to enter from the outside.

 

He could also give these pseudo-space the ability to influence, suppress, to cut off communication with the outside world and strengthen various beings.Essentially there was no limit

 

This space was essentially created against Ophis, to keep her here.

 

The place where Daniele was located was essentially a space within space.

 

But from where Daniele was standing, he could feel the terrible blows

 

Because the barrier devices were embedded with magic in his body!!

 

He was required to use barrier devices in Balance Breaker until he fully mastered Dimension Lost

 

And if these are broken, pseudo-space is broken too !

 

Satanael therefore suggested to Georg that he should hide them in his body with magic.

 

Even though Georg hated it and it hurt like a bitch, he accepted it mainly for Cao Cao's sake.

 

As if that weren't enough, he also had to resist Lavinia's constant attacks.

 

The purple mist that appeared as he waved his hand blocked the elemental attacks that fell on him.

 

The formation of icicles while the air around him was thick, causing a grunt named Georg

 

As the fog appeared around Georg, the elemental attacks that had just attacked appeared there and shattered the ice songs.

 

Georg's body disappeared into the mist as he idly allowed it to swallow him.

 

A giant sword of ice fell where he was standing just now.

 

Georg emerged from the mist somewhere else as it reappeared

 

When he extended his hand, a Norse Magic Circle and White Magic Circles appeared.

 

What Georg did was something really high level

 

Strengthening another spell with buff-based White Magic

 

Norse Circles suddenly appeared on the body, and White Magic Circles appeared right after them.

 

Suddenly, supercharged fire spells were fired

 

Lavinia frowned at the incoming spell

 

With the wave of the wand in her hand, a spirit-based magic circle appeared.

 

Aka [Spirit Magic]

 

Normally, to use Spirit Magic, the Elemental Spirit would also need to be summoned, but Georg's Balance Breaker completely prevented this.

 

So Lavinia did a little trick...essentially treating [Absolute Demise] as Spirit!

 

The icy wind created by [Absolute Demise] collided with Georg's enhanced fire.

 

The two attacks collided, sending out steam and momentarily blinding both Longinus users.

 

In the steam, Lavinia planned her next move, but for a moment she found herself unable to move!

 

As the steam dispersed, thick purple solid objects surrounded her and [Absolute Demise], surrounding their bodies.

 

"[Security System Magic]"

 

Lavinia figured it out at a glance

 

Security System Magic , This spell is primarily intended as a support for other spell types and abilities, strengthening their effects and preventing them from being affected by other effects.

 

The purple mist of [Dimension Lost] surrounding Lavinia is compressed and creates mini barriers, which is supported by [Security System Magic]

 

[Absolute Demise] began to affect and erode the solid fog while emitting cold air without command by Lavinia

 

Even the Security System Magic itself, used by Georg, was freezing as cracks began to appear.

 

"It ends here Lavinia!!!"

 

Countless magic circles formed around Georg

 

When Lavinia saw his determined expression, she felt a pang of sadness.

 

Finally solid mist broken , she sighed

 

As she opened her mouth, a decisive word was heard on her lips.

 

"Balance Breaker"

 

....The whole world turned white

 

At that moment the entire battlefield was affected

 

Whether Azazel and Satanael, siter Cao Cao and the joint team

 

"[Assoluto Argento Mondo](Snow World Believed to be Eternal) "

 

Lavinia's Balance Breaker had wide range comparable to the likes of Dimension Lost and Zenith Tempest

 

Creates a furious blizzard across an entire battlefield and innumerable giant sharp ice pillars, able to turn an entire country into a world of ice at full strength

 

Under normal circumstances, an area attack like this would be difficult to use since it would affect the ally...but that wasn't the case with [Absolute Demise]'s Balance Breaker.

 

Because this endless blizzard.....would only target things Lavinia wanted!!!

 

As all of Georg's magic circles turned to ice and shattered, all he could do was shield himself with [Dimension Lost]'s mist, but even they were being suppressed by the blizzard.

 

Georg clenched his teeth and did his best to resist.

 

"It's over G-chan, let's end this"

 

The blizzard intensified with Lavinia's words

 

Just as Georg was about to collapse, a golden light suddenly shone through the blizzard!

 

From the far side of the battlefield of Georg and Lavinia!

 

And the endless storm of ice and snow that Lavinia had created was dispersed at that moment.

 

.....And not only that

 

"My..... Longinus"

 

Under Lavinia's astonished gaze, Longinus, who was holding her in the air, began to disintegrate and disappear.

 

As she fell without the support of her Longinus, Lavinia quickly tried a platform beneath herself to steady herself

 

But she couldn't! The only thing she could do was land on the icicle that had formed during his fight with Georg earlier.

 

'[Absolute Demise] is in my soul, I can feel it, it's still there but why can't I manifest it????I can't even do magic!'

 

"He...hahahaha!!!"

 

At that moment Lavinia saw Georg, covered in ice and with steam coming out of his mouth from the cold.

 

"C-Cao Cao...."

 

His voice was trembling from the cold

 

".....definitely---following you was the right decision!"

 

He created more magic circles to replace the ones that had previously collapsed.

 

However, their numbers were less than half of what they were before.

 

Suddenly, magic bullets fired from them flew towards Lavinia

 

*Boooom!*

 

......

 

"You Bastard!!!!"

 

Vali showed anger beyond anything he had ever shown before at what had just happened, at a level he had shown against Augusta 4 years prior!

 

""""Lavinia!/-chan/-san!""""

 

Others also showed surprise and concern

 

Cao Cao was responsible for this, clearing the ice residue off his body.

 

There was a light halo and seven identical orbs behind it

 

This was Cao Cao's Sub-Species Balance Breaker

 

[Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin ] (Heavenly Ring Holy King's Spear Enveloped in Brightness Which Brings the Polar Night)

 

While each of the 7 treasures behind Cao Cao had a different ability, the orbs were identical to each other to make it impossible to tell which one was being used.

 

What Cao Cao just used was [Itthiratana] (Female Treasure)

 

Canceling all the special abilities of a woman for a while

 

He canceling both Lavinia's Longinus and her magic ability at once.

 

"Calm down, Vali! Lavinia is fine!"

 

At that moment, Shigune's voice calmed the enraged Vali for a moment.

 

When Cao Cao looked at Lavinia's position with a small smile, they saw Ophis now extending her hand in front of her , undamaged.

 

Ophis stood protectively before Lavinia, whose powers had still not returned.

 

It caused Georg to step back in fear.

 

"A momentary teleportation from here to there? Fascinating."

 

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.

 

"Don't take your attention away from us!"

 

{Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost}

 

Issei shouted angrily in the {Change Fang Blast} state

 

"Dragon Blaster!!!!! "

 

The intertwined green and red energy canon was flying at full speed towards Cao Cao.

 

Cao Cao didn't even turn to look at him

 

"[Assaratana] (Horse treasure ) "

 

While Cao Cao was humming, one of the orbs came and touched him.

 

As he disappeared from his place with the light, Issei's attack could only hit the place where he was before.

 

[Assaratana] gave Cao Cao the ability to teleport those touched by the orb

 

From where he had teleported, Bova appeared behind him, ready to take revenge, with anger.

 

His eyes were glowing dark red, the power he was emitting had completely surpassed what it had before.

 

"Rrrrrooooooaaaaarrrr!!!!"

 

Cao Cao quickly raised True Longinus to block the claws that were trying to impale him, but Bova, with the force of the attack and his fully extended wing, flew towards the sky at full speed.

 

Issei was stunned by Bova's sudden power increase.

 

[Here, partner, is proof of why we Dragons should not be provoked]

 

While Ddraig was saying this to Issei, Bova was dragging Cao Cao in the air.

 

[Outrage]

 

 Can be called a Dragon's trump card and is one of the main reasons why Dragons are considered the most powerful in the supernatural world.

 

Even a low-class dragon would gain a lot of power in Outrage

 

Therefore, even the weakest dragon should not be provoked.

 

It's an unwritten rule in the supernatural world.

 

As they zigzagged in the air, Bova took him to crash into the train

 

Just as it was about to hit, another orb moved and touched Bova.

 

"[Hatthiratana] (Elephant treasure)"

 

Bova's balance was disrupted as Cao Cao flew past the ground and he was left hanging in the air unintentionally.

 

[Hatthiratana] orb has the effect of lifting things it touches

 

But Bova still resisted because he was in Outrage state and opened his mouth to use his teeth to break the fight with Cao Cao.

 

Even though Cao Cao had managed to bite through the True Longinus' handle while extending it, the difference in physical strength was extreme.

 

Even with Touki, Cao Cao was down on one knee

 

But despite everything, he had a predatory smile on his face.

 

While Touki was passing through [True Longinus], he focused on the exact spot where Bova bit it

 

And he released it right at that point!

 

Bova's eyes widened, blood suddenly flowed from his mouth, and his body collapsed as Outrage was disabled.

 

Without even breathing a sigh of relief, Cao Cao turned around and blocked Vali, who was hiding behind him at full speed.

 

Sharp transparent blue blades were protruding from the Vali gauntles aka {Hollow Slasher}

 

The force had blown the weary Bova back

 

Even though Ophis had protected Lavinia, Vali anger had not abated for a moment.

 

Cao Cao's body levitated as he used [Hatthiratana] on himself

 

The two collided as the train flew around them, Cao Cao being the only one who could physically keep up with Vali because of Touki.

 

While the two were fighting, the others followed them without stopping to help.

 

"Holy Saints Paladin!"

 

Irina quickly created 5 knights while activating her Balance Breaker.

 

For himself and Xenovia [♠️ King] , [♠️ Queen] , [♠️ 10] for

 

For Asia and Rossweisse [🖤 Ace] , [🖤4] for

 

Xenovia then strengthened herself even more while using on herself.

 

The two of them attacked Cao Cao while leaving the others behind

 

While Cao Cao blocked Vali's final attack, the two took advantage of his openness and swung Hauteclere and Durandal.

 

Just as two High-Grade Holy Swords were about to strike him, another orb flashed

 

"[Cakkaratana} (Wheel Treasure)"

 

As the treasure light shone, cracks appeared on the two swords, and the moment they hit Cao Cao....the two Holy Swords broke.

 

""Durandal/Hauteclere!""

 

At the two girls' state of disbelief, Cao Cao quickly took a turn and moved to stab Irina with the [True Longinus]

 

Before contact, water ropes were tied around the girls' waists and pulled them back

 

Lilitifa saved two girls

 

But the blow still left a deep wound on Irina's left side.

 

Irina clutched the wound in pain as blood flowed from her mouth.

 

"Irina-san!!!"

 

When Asia came to him with concern, he wasted no time in healing, but the immense light power at the wound was blocking the healing.

 

Asia kept Irina steady with the platform created under them

 

"This... hurts!"

 

Luckily, Shigune made the good Taotie, who was in his small form at that moment, swallow them

 

Irina was still out of breath as her condition improved a bit.

 

Issei was also filled with anger for his childhood friend

 

"Cao Cao..."

 

As he clenched his fist in anger, a chant escaped from his mouth.

 

 

<>

<>

 

Unfortunately for him, he was completely seen by Cao Cao.

 

"[Gahapatiratana](Household treasure)"

 

Suddenly, warriors appeared, using many different weapons.

 

This was [Gahapatiratana]'s ability, essentially similar to Blade Blacksmith's Balance Breaker.

 

While a few of the warriors created blocked the ones created by Irina, the rest jumped off the train to rush towards Issei, who started chanting

 

Issei had to let go of Chant as he gritted his teeth when he saw those coming towards him.

 

On the other side,Vali caught him open and quickly stabbed him with both hands.

 

"Assaratana"

 

Reusing the horse treasure, Cao Cao teleported from there and appeared next to Georg.

 

Satanael also landed right next to them.

 

On the other side, Azazel also landed on his side.

 

Cao Cao turned to Georg

 

"Georg, do it, we've played enough "

 

Cao Cao's expression, still watching Ophis with fear, was replaced by a created and arrogant attitude

 

As he extended his hand, the mists gathered on the ground.

 

A being rose from the mist
