Daniele pov
While lying naked in bed, Shigune snuggled beside me, resting her head on my shoulder.
We were both naked and honestly didn't want to bother getting dressed.
We were watching a TV series on the television in front of us.
"...so, is God 'kaboom'?"
I reached out and pinched Shigune's nose as she said it playfully.
"Don't tease it, you glutton ♪ What if my stepfather curses you?"
Then I opened my space storage, and a specific Cursed Holy Dragon-Slayer emerged from it.
"As you can see... the old man's curses are pretty nasty."
I gently shook Georgius.
I love the sword, but damn, the curse is downright terrifying.
"Now that I think about it, why do you use Ascalon so often while you use Georgius so rarely?"
A helpless smile appeared on my face.
"I don't want to, but it's too dangerous. I'm a little hesitant to use it when there are people around, in case I accidentally hit someone....."
Falling into this situation was chilling.
"But I still love my sword."
I said, planting an exaggerated kiss on Georgius's flat side, and Shigune giggled...Wait, is the sword getting hot, or am I imagining things?
[....]
{.....}
This was quite strange, but I put it aside when I heard Shigune's stomach rumbling.
As I put Georgius back in my space storage, I glanced at the captivating, heterochromia-eyed beauty who looked at me with a slightly shy expression.
"I think my stomach is rumbling, let's eat something."
Of course I knew this came from Shigune, and Shigune knew it too... but hey, sometimes you have to step back to be a good partner.
Shigune let out a sound of satisfaction, kissed me on the cheek, and got out of bed, but then suddenly leaned back.
Even though I supported her with my hand, she gave me a displeased look, her gaze seemingly saying, 'It's all your fault.'
Okay, maybe I went a little crazy, but in my defense.....
"My wife completely seduced me; she's the one to blame!"
She rolled her eyes with a sweet complaint, but her lips curved upwards nonetheless.
She bent down in front of me, pulled a pair of blue panties over her shapely hips, and turned to me.
"Can you give me your shirt?"
I handed it to her immediately without the slightest hesitation; I don't know exactly why, but for some reason, the thought of they just wearing my t-shirt is incredibly attractive to me.
She slowly fastened the buttons as she put it on in front of me, and while I watched her in admiration, she looked at me with an amused smile.
"Seriously, close your mouth or a fly will catch it."
"Right in front of the Eighth Wonder of the World? No way!"
"*giggle* Yes, yes, love-struck boy, let's go♪"
While she was pulled my arm, I could barely wear boxers and shorts.
.......
The meal wasn't anything complicated or fancy, it was just plain chocolate-flavored cereal, and we were quite happy with it, although Asia would definitely have scolded us.
Or something like that.
I was only on my first bowl when Shigune had already finished her third; her satisfied expression while eating was so cute.
Of course, Those who ate were not only Shigune, but also her three Taotie. Yesterday, they happily consumed a few more things I got from Aunt Yukikaze and from the auction, or rather, the Familiar food.
Luckily, I set aside Laos, Hati, and Skoll's share.
"By the way, there will be Banquet today, right?"
Shigune nodded as I asked.
"Yes, Shemhazai-san will be coming with a few people."
A few people, I might see some Grigori members I don't know.
Upon this, we both continued eating, or rather, I was eating my second plate while Shigune was eating her seventh....*whistling* to think that this is a version that is not in form.
.......
After the two of us flirted and relaxed until noon, we left our room to prepare to greet the superiors. Who are the superiors?... It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
But we weren't on the same place, politics is a shitty thing, that's why Shigune went to the other side to get Grigori members, even Ravel went to get Devil's side .Originally, the Three Factions were dealt with separately while still under a single Bible Faction, but as a result, all three groups quickly began to gain power.
Not to brag, but I had become quite powerful. We had Dulio and Vasco, and the Devils? Super Devils! I generally believed that only the very top ranked ones knew about them, but even that was unsettling.
Grigori may seem weak, but these guys practically have their own network; they know and have connections to almost every Faction, plus they do their research.
Do you think they're researching the moon out of boredom? I'm sure they have something to use it for as a weapon; it's like a bunch of crazy scientists all gathered in one place.
[ Even Benemune?]
I was silent for a moment....Mad scientists and sexy mad female scientists?
{I'm so disappointed and my day is ruined.}
Wait, did she just make a reference???
Anyway, the conclusion leads to something in every way.
.....Politics is a shitty thing.
From there, with one of OUR personal planes—that is, the Church's—in the background, our great, fearless leader was advancing.
Michael, dressed in a pure white suit, walked with a purple tie and a matching handkerchief tucked into his breast pocket.
His expression was serene, like a lake, his hair and clothes billowing in the wind.
Even as a man, it had to be acknowledged that GoB had taken VERY good care of his Great Seraphs. Luckily, he wasn't crossdressing, otherwise many people would have questioned own sexuality.
Michael waved when he saw us; Kaname, Ryuu, and Lint were with me.
We all naturally saluted the Present Lord of Heaven, yes, the man is my brother-in-law, but that doesn't mean I'm going to abuse it.
Immediately behind Michael was someone completely covered in knight's armor.
Behind it are 12 white wings
...Sandalphon
His entire body was covered in knight's armor, even his helmet.
"Alright ...."
After Michael said that, his gaze wandered on us.
"It seems you're all doing well. Let's move to a more private place for now, then I'll get a status report."
""""Roger""""
We all leaves while saying this.
Those waiting respectfully made way for us while they stayed behind to attend to the Plane
........
We presented our reports to Michael separately and as a single combined report; he and Sandalphon sat at the table reviewing them.
Especially those our examining and are concerned about the Yellow Dragon's situation.
"So, the suspects?"
Sandalphon, his entire body still clad in knight's armor, asked
As we explained, Kaname and Ryuu were the ones who commented on this.
"Our prime suspect is naturally Satanael, after all, it was Samael's venom that brought the Yellow Dragon to this state."
As Ryuu finished speaking, Kaname continued.
"But the two people who might form an alliance with him are, in our opinion, two students of Yellow Dragon, Long Aotian and Gu Zheng"
Michael narrowed his eyes.
"So we suspect two of his students... And do we have any evidence?"
This time I nodded
"There were collision marks, known as Gu Zheng's main weapon in the crime scene, and in addition, we obtained information from an intelligence broker."
While we explained the information we received from Zhuge Liang to him, Michael and Sandalphon listened and also offered their own conclusions.
I also mentioned the Long Aotian and Blue Dragon incident.
"Okay, we'll learn more about the situation at the meeting anyway. There will be a dinner with the newcomers this evening. Kaname and Daniele, I want you two to observe Gu Zheng and Long Aotian.Lint and Ryuu, you two are with us"
I couldn't help but raise my hand
"Wouldn't it be better if I were by your side?"
I turned to Ryuu and Lint.
"I have no intention of belittling either of you, it's just that things are tense."
I really mean what I said, if they suddenly try to attack or something, I need to take action.
The situation is already chaotic, and I don't want to take any risks.
Michael chuckled.
"Now, now, don't worry , my brother-in-law , We already considered this, and that's why we want you two to be monitored. If one of them is the traitor, as expected, they are very likely to act."
Sandalphon said, patting me on the shoulder, and Michael nodded in agreement.
Their words finally made me sigh; after all, they're the ones responsible... I'll still be careful.
"Come on, let's go, Heaven's groom."-Kaname said in a sarcastic tone
"Come on Paisen~"Lint was cheerful.
"Well, maybe we'll need to dress formally," Ryuu said, putting his arm around my shoulder.
I rolled my eyes... I hope there won't be any problems.
----------------
We all entered a crowded area dressed in our formal attire (Sandalphon was wearing a more ornate version of his armor), which, now that I think about it, still feels strange despite having been to many places like that.
Me? I wore the same suit I wore to the auction, yes I have more than one suit, but is it really necessary to wear different things every time?
Ultimately, I generally prefer to wear comfortably... I wonder what it would be like if I wore armor too?
[The Archangels Michael and Sandalphon, representatives of the Lord of Heaven, the God of Miracles]
I'm more here to accompany them, so it makes more sense if they don't say my name...
[Joker, The Lion King, Daniele Abe Berti]
I retract what I said.
[Of course, what did you think? After all, I'm that amazing!]
{Isn't your reputation here more of a bad reputation? }
[This further emphasizes my magnificence 🗿]
{...start using my flames too}
I found myself mentally raising my eyebrow.
"Gowl?"
Even Bester made a strange sound from my shadow.
[Haha!!!!Jealous!!!!]
I let out a quiet chuckle; who would have guessed Chief Mourner would be jealous... but that was good, at least she wasn't against me using her if needed... Her initial objection was pretty ridiculous anyway.
While everyone was gathering, I observed the surroundings; it was better to use the method I learned from Chamuel instead of my normal eyes.
My Holy Power and my Light Power activated simultaneously in an unparalleled set, and in an instant, a large part of the room appeared in my mind...and shattered at the same time.
Numerous monstrous beings were around, and there were few humans.
China was divided into two realms: the mortal world and the realm of God, and if we consider that the mortal world was responsible for the Four Symbols and the Center...yes.
Those who were human were mostly priests and their followers.
There were God-Class beings there, and naturally they reacted.
I attracted a lot of attention there; some were curious, some angry, and some incomprehensible...but it fit the plan, after all, that's what I expected.
I glanced back while simultaneously drawing their gazes and attention to myself.
Well I already attracted a lot of attention from the start, so now, to hell with hesitation
This wasn't just a meeting, gathering, and discussion area; it was also the best place to find the culprit. Our main suspects were Gu Zheng and Long Aotian, yes, but there were other suspects as well.
After the first two, the main suspicion was the Four Directions; although the Four Directions controlled a portion of China's mortal realm, their authority was still less than that of the Center.
The Underworld was a good example, especially the previous moment, the Four Directions were the previous 3 Satans while the Center was essentially equivalent to Lucifer...it was clear who was in charge.
My gaze lingered on these individuals, who looked at me with amused expressions...Qīnglóng
There is a tall man with green eyes and spiked hair; with a pair of eyeglasses. He appears to be wearing a green yukata cloak like things and inside is a black uniform with green lights.his eyes were so narrowed they were practically closed.
[Water, Earth, Turtle, and Snake, Here is Xuánwǔ, pay attention, fellow, that shelled fellow's defense is nonsense]
The other person?...was giving me dirty looks.
A crown of vibrant, jagged crimson hair framed his sharp face, contrasting with the cold clarity of his emerald eyes. Dressed in a stark-white jacket left rakishly open and sleek trousers, his tall, athletic frame held a chilling stillness.
The smell of fire and ashes had permeated its very essence.
.....Zhūquè
I haven't seen Báihǔ, but I haven't seen Shigune and Grigori or Ravel and Devils' Side yet either, after all, the area seemed relatively huge.
Yes, I think I've attracted enough attention.
They continued to come with advertisements at the same time.
Finally, I saw Azazel with Benemune and Shigune.
All three were wearing Chinese-made clothing.
The first person who caught my eye was, of course, my dear wife.
She wears a sleeveless, form-fitting glossy blue cheongsam detailed with black frog closures, light trim, and an exceptionally high side slit that highlights sheer black tights underneath.
Her hair was styled in a twin-tail again, and it was both heartwarmingly cute and breathtakingly beautiful.
Benemune was right next to her
Her long purple hair braided , her purple eyes and sleek black-rimmed glasses gives an intellectual vibe. She wears a modified, form-fitting black cheongsam with a mandarin collar, gold floral embroidery, and high side slits that reveal crimson shorts with hanging tassels, completed by wide mid-length sleeves and sheer black lace thigh-high stockings.
If Shigune was the epitome of beauty and cuteness, then Benemune was practically the definition of sexiness.
When she looked at me, she quickly wink .
.....this woman
Azazel had worn Japanese kimonos, seemingly just to spite everyone, which naturally drew disapproving glances. Azazel? Yes, but he walked on with a grin, completely unconcerned.
There were a few other people with him whom I didn't know.
Michael and Azazel exchanged glances for a moment and nodded at each other.
Where is Ravel? Did She and Devil Side arrive before us, I wonder?
*Ding*Ding*Ding*
Suddenly, a sound was heard, essentially the sound of a fork hitting a glass.
Long Aotian, dressed in his robe, looked at the crowd as he did so, a sad smile on his face; those watching him seemed to sense his deep depression.
"I'm glad to see you all gathered here, and of course you must all know at least a little about the reason you're here: China's great protector, Huánglóng, has been attacked."
As Long Aotian finished speaking, a wild rage and murderous intent erupted from his body.
"As you can understand, I invoked the other Four Symbols for this news because if we don't hurry to find a solution, all of China, no, the entire mortal world will be in danger."
In a normal situation, it would of course be more logical not to announce such news, but Long Aotian's doing so showed the weight of the situation, because it was dangerous for all of China and, to some extent, for the world.
It was hard not to hear the whispers, the disbelief, the contempt for Long Aotian's words
There was also sarcasm and contempt, but Long Aotian's words weren't finished, I think, because his eyes glanced at us for a moment (I swear he looked right into my eyes).
Then he looked towards Azazel...wait, somewhere else too, was the Devils' side there???
Although I'd like to look there, for now I'm focused on Long Aotian.
"In this dire situation, we must help each other and cooperate to survive. Thanks also to the Three Bible Faction for not hesitating to support us in this difficult time."
Now all eyes are on us.
.....calm down...calm down, ignore the strange looks~
We were subjected to very suspicious stares—wait, was that an intention to kill?!
I kept [Regulus Nemea] within reach in my soul, but I couldn't discern where the intention to kill came from.
However, I can't stir up trouble here right now.
Therefore, I have no choice but to wait.
"Okay, we're leaving, Daniele."
I looked at Michael; although he gave me a calm smile, his sharp gaze showed that he was aware of the situation.
I shook my head and watched them leave.
Kaname kicked me in the leg.
"Come on, love-struck kid, if you look any longer you'll fall in."
I gave her a blank stare.
"...I like women."
Kaname shrugged.
"So, maybe you're bisexual, after all, it's not a crime, I won't judge you."
My eyebrows twitched.
"..... I am not"
"Hey, are you looking down on bisexuals? Is that racism?"
"No, whoever loves whomever they want can love them, but I definitely don't!"
Aside from my absolute lack of interest (ugh!), my mother would have driven me crazy. Taking multiple wifes is fine, but a man? She'd definitely skin me alive.
"Hmm hmm , yes"
She used a tone of voice that clearly indicated she didn't agree with a word I said.
This girl!
At this point, we both started walking, keeping an eye on our surroundings while arguing (without disturbing those around us).
Of course, this doesn't mean we've forgotten our duty.
"You keep an eye on Long Aotian, and I'll look for Gu Zheng."
Kaname glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.
"Do you even know what it looks like?"
I shrugged and pointed to my nose.
"No, but I can smell it. There's a scent of dragon mixed with the scent of Long Aotian in the room, so I have a chance."
Kaname was silent for a moment, but she knew I had a better chance.
We parted ways as Kaname nodded her head.
Although I'd like to see Shigune, she's closer to Long Aotian... business first, then snu snu, at least for now.
I followed the scent and got closer, but my path unexpectedly crossed with a familiar back.
.....In the alcohol and drinks section?
She looks stunning as the halter straps leave her smooth back completely bare. Her long black twin-tails cascade down past her waist, framed by bright pink ribbons. The glittering navy satin tightly hugs her lower back and hips, flowing into a graceful
Who is this person? It's easy to guess from the side; it's none other than Mahou Shoujou of the Underworld!
Serafall looks stunning in a sparkling navy blue satin evening gown that hugs her curves beautifully. The halter-neck top features cross-straps that highlight her shoulders, while a high slit adds an elegant yet bold touch. Her signature long black twin-tails are tied with bright pink ribbons, blending her playful energy with a sophisticated bar setting. Holding a red cocktail, her gentle smile and bright blue eyes capture her charming and graceful presence.
The glittering navy gown she's wearing fits her like a second skin, accentuating every curve before dropping into a bold. Even in this sophisticated lounge, those bright pink ribbons in her signature twin-tails are a perfect reminder of her playful, untamed energy. But despite that, she looked VERY mature, what can I say... my heart skipped a beat for a moment, but her facial expression was quite strange.
She was lost in thought, her cheeks flushed sweetly as she swirled the glass in her hand, which I assumed was wine... what was she thinking?
I observed her for a while longer without disturbing her
When she finally turned to me, a strange spark gleamed in her beautiful blue eyes.
?
"Ah, greetings Levia-tan, It's been a while and... you look very beautiful."
I spoke honestly
The outfit looked great on her.
Serafall blinked.
Then she looked down at herself and then at me...and showed a bright smile, wait, did I just see blue roses?
"You too.Good Evening Daniele, that suit looks great on you, is it new?"
I looked at the tiny, twin-tailed Satan in front of me with a little surprise.
"...could you please repeat that?"
"I don't understand, but okay, good evening Daniele?"
!?
[!?]
{What, what's the problem???}
As I stood there stunned, a shadow suddenly appeared behind me, a giant spiked club(Hassaikai) descending, covered in lightning bolts.
While my Balance Breaker [Regulus Armorum Rex] was instantly equiped, I swung Great Axe.
[Beast King Touki] + Mana Burst was activated, I instinctively pulled the strangely behaving Mahou Shoujou towards me with my other hand
The collision of the Great Axe and the Hassaikai shattered the ground beneath us, sending shockwaves across the entire area.
†Slip† + [Infusion]
Golden magic circles appeared at the point of collision.
Two of them slid as the shockwave from the weapon's impact was wasted,
[Accel]
As my armored boots changed, I unleashed a swift kick, triggered by the rings that appeared on its sides.
To increase the force of the Kick, in addition to [Beast King Touki] and Mana Burst...
The †Slip† appeared on the way and eliminated all friction!
The lightning bolts darted towards the spot in response to the extremely fast kick, but they shattered with my kick, and the giant figure recoiled.
I instinctively pulled Serafall closer to me. Yes, this attack probably wouldn't have affected her, but it was a reflex.
This gave me a chance to look at the figure properly.
This man was even bigger than Vasco!
He was towering, colossal giant who stands over 23 feet tall with a heavily muscled, bare torso defined by a massive, cross-shaped scar on his right flank , have wild, knee-length black hair, a prominent mustache, a pointed beard, and massive, curved bull-like horns protruding from the sides of his head. His left arm is entirely covered in a striking Dark-Green tattoo resembling overlapping reptile scales,
A dragon scent, mixed with an intensely divine aura, emanated from him—almost identical to Qīnglóng's scent!
[Why does he resemble Kaido?]
{Who is that??}
[Perhaps it's similar to the thing of Ainz and Hades]
{Don't you two ignore me!}
Just because there was a mental conversation didn't mean my body was stop, especially when that guy was getting ready to swing the Hassaikai again.
Suddenly, a divine aura appeared around the spiked weapon, and this aura filled with leaves-like hues.
I wasn't left behind either; the destructive force of the Great Axe's blade was concentrated in a single point, right in the middle.
†Divisore Del Cielo†
The two weapons were about to clash again, but this time a column of ice came between us and took the blow.
A chilling cold shot through my arms the moment the column shattered.
This was essentially to divert our attacks.
Before I could even turn my head, an Ice Serpent Dragon lunged at Gu Zheng.
As lightning and winds emanating from Gu Zheng intertwined, he resisted, the Serpent Dragon was shattered into countless pieces.
Each piece transformed into chains of ice, wrapping around and enveloping his body.
"It would be good to have a good explanation for this."
Serafall said as she easily pulled away from my arms, her high heels making a distinct sound on the floor.
The chains of ice not only bound his body but were all impaled on the ground, about to force him to his knees,but this guy straightened up, letting out a dragon roar in response, and as for the ice chains, Serafall grunted, her hair flying as the chains grew stronger.
I also activated the Eye of Medusa on my ring.
His body began to turn to stone at the same time.
Until a pure white light shattered them all.
The person responsible for this was a new figure who had become involved.
He stood clad in an ornate, battle-ready eastern robe of stark white and deep navy, accented by heavy steel pauldrons and a billowing white cape. Intricate belts and braided crimson cords bound the tunic tight to his waist, while long, gold-embroidered sashes and sharp tiger-striped armor pieces trailed after him with dangerous grace.
I saw him for the first time, but I recognized him quickly.
No help is even needed for this, absolutely Báihǔ....what a sharp metallic smell
Serafall grumbled.
"Are you sure you want to ask us this?"
Her gaze was intensely serious, and the air around her grew colder with each passing second.
Although she was known for her childlike side, Serafall was ultimately a Satan and had blood on her hands... a lot of blood, and she also represented hed own Faction, so this was a direct disrespect to the Underworld, It couldn't be allowed to pass by.Otherwise, they would appear weak.
Báihǔ seemed displeased but not against us
Then turned his gaze to attacking giant figure .
"What do you think you're doing, Gu Zheng! This is supposed to be a peaceful resolution!? Is this what your master would want?!"
.... as expected
But Gu Zheng's expression became even more enraged.
"Peace? What peace! The poison that harmed the Master came from their Faction, how can we be sure they weren't involved!"
Oh? This...this actually turned out badly.
Suddenly, we received countless scrutinizing glances from all around us, ready to attack.
However, we couldn't let ourselves be outdone like Serafall, at least not on equal footing; otherwise, things would turn against us.
While [Beast King Touki]'s influence was spreading, there were many stumbles and setbacks, but they weren't so different from the Youkai after all.
As cracks appeared in the ground beneath me, the aura of a ferocious beast emanated.
At the same time, in addition to 12 golden-lit white wings and a crown-like Halo and Adult Bester emerged from the ground, growled furiously.
I caught a glimpse of Serafall glancing around for a moment, then the icy aura quickly dissipated; her expression was remarkably calm, but her eyes were still cold.
"You invited us here, We have already presented evidence regarding the Khaos Brigade and Satanel; the attack on the Center of China has nothing to do with us , Nevertheless, we offered help. therefore we were attacked...is this your hospitality...Long Aotian"
Serafall's gaze shifted.
Long Aotian, who arrived accompanied by Kaname
Michael ,Azazel and Ajuka, had arrived right after Jin
Is Ajuka Beelzebub here too?
Anyway, Long Aotian looked directly into Gu Zheng's eyes.
"Three Bible Factions came to our aid and provided information about the culprit; they even volunteered to help the Master, whom he wouldn't be pleased to see what you did."
He reached out and placed his hand on Gu Zheng 's shoulder.
"I understand, you're worried about the master, but logically you shouldn't have done this."
As the two came face to face, Gu Zheng let out a grunt and left.
He received many contemptuous and mocking glances from those around him,
'How did he manage to become Wang's student?' or 'If he wasn't Qīnglóng's own son' or 'just a blockhead'
Long Aotian, on the other hand, received the opposite: respectful glances.
But my attention was mostly on Long Aotian.
He... lied.
-----------------
Interdimensional Room
Third Person POV
Daniele's eyebrows twitched for a moment.
"I understand...but do we have to do this in my room???"
Daniele said in a dry tone that he had transformed the room where he shared sensual and passionate moments with his partners into a more spacious and meeting-friendly space using his tablet...it was still unsettling.
Azazel chuckled mockingly.
"Don't worry kid, we don't want to be in your sex room either."
"Speak for yourself ♪"
Benemune said to Daniele while winking.
Azazel stared at him with his mouth open, then shrugged.
"Anyway, after Gabriel, nothing can surprise me, unless you take Ophis as your wife."
"This would actually be quite useful for Three Faction."
Ajuka said, swirling the wine in his hand—Daniele wasn't sure where he'd gotten it from.
"Why is the topic my love life?! And this Ophis, come on, do you think that's even possible?"
While he was complaining, Ryuu patted Daniele on the shoulder, saying he was there for him
Daniele averted his gaze from pouted Ravel and mumbled.
"It's not my fault. "
"Anyway, Daniele is right."
At Serafall's words, everyone looked between the two of them for a moment.
"Did you have a argue?"
Michael couldn't help but ask, everyone in the room, yes even Sandalphon, knew that Daniele and Serafall were quite close.
Even the Grigori members who came with Azazel!
"I agree, that's not the topic right now."
Ajuka suggested changing the subject...although Benemune had a strange glint in her eyes as she looked at Daniele and Serafall.
"Of course not, Daniele and I are closes BFF.Now let's get back to the topic"
And she looked at Daniele.
"And regarding the issue you just raised, the reason is that the Interdimensional Room is extremely safe and we can speak comfortably within it.There's no need to worry about the risk of rest, Daniele. "
Daniele nodded; it made sense, even if he wanted to complain... however, Serafall really did seem to be acting a little strange.
Azazel, Michael, and Ajuka had personally examined Huánglóng and realized just how deep the problem was.
"With our healing system, it's not a problem to neutralize the poisons of Niðhöggr or Yamata no Orochi, but Samael's poison has penetrated a little too deeply."
The Archangel complained helplessly.
Ajuka and Azazel also presented their observations.
At the same moment, Falak, who was standing next to Ajuka, came and placed the files.
The gothic-style woman who came to join Azazel also arrived.
Shewearing a cropped black leather jacket, a black choker, and multiple ear piercings with her messy hair let down. This sharp contrast completely fools the exhausted protagonist into thinking they are two different people, She had brownish-red and red eyes.
With a cigarette in her mouth, she placed the files down.
"Here Lord Ajuka, as you requested."
Falak said this respectfully, while Azazel waved his hand to the woman from whom he received the files.
"Thanks Anlarcciel~"
"Neh"
The woman named Anlarcciel simply shrugged.
Anlarcciel was one of the hybrids in Grigori, but older than the existing ones, she was currently a 311-year-old
But she wasn't half human, half Fallen Angel and half werewolf—more accurately, werewolf woman.
This resulted in it only having two brownish-red wings.
But her power was certainly greater than that.
She are usually tasked with testing military equipment.
"I first tried to extract it using the Kankara Formula, but Huánglóng seems to have balanced itself with the Ki in leylines, like a constant flow from a valve, It's not difficult to heal and separate them, but it's important to do it without causing permanent damage and if I interfere..."
Ajuka shook his head; it was a miracle that Huánglóng, having been so deeply and directly exposed to Samael's poison, had managed to suppress it for so long.
"*Sigh* As expected from my father's power, even if Samael dies, the poison he leaves behind is stubborn.I could try to invent something to get it out...but it won't be easy and I need your help, Ajuka."
Ajuka nodded and handed him some papers.
"I thought you'd want this, here's necessary estimate."
"Ah, you clever bastard~"
Azazel chuckled as he examined the papers.
"Okay, we need to do this and do it quickly. Huánglóng's condition is getting worse, so we shouldn't be disturbed during this project."
"Ah, about that."
Then Benemune placed an advanced tablet on the table; as she pressed the tablet, a virtual scene suddenly rose up.
"We have a few guests~"
It separately pointed out the locations where there were various figures in cloaks and suspicious individuals.
"And~ we have grunts, how nice!"
Serafall sighed
Sandalphon turned to them at that moment.
"Young warriors, we need to be careful and avoid interference so that we can heal and save Sir Huánglóng."
"Okay, let's kick some ass!"
Lint slammed her fist into her palm.
------------------
Ajuka , Michael and Azazel each sent their members in teams using their own resources.
Riser also appointed his own Peerage.
Serafall and Ajuka did the same thing.
They conducted an observation in Hong Kong and established a defensive line against the enemy.
Thanks to Ajuka's plans, the team members would draw the enemy into sub-dimensions from their current locations, thus preventing any damage to the mortal world.
To make this easier, Azazel gave them devices and instructed them to place them in various locations.
Michael supported this while primarily using Churches as a basis.
Lightning struck the cloaked figures from the sky.
Flames and bursts of light came one after another.
Kaname, Riser, and Daniele had sprung into action.
But then, an unexpected figure raised their hand, and stone spears rose into the sky, deflecting the attacks.
Daniele was utterly astonished when he saw the figure, but at the same time a smile appeared on his face.
"Look at that... who would have known it's been a while, Ouryuu no---Nakagami Nakiri
He said this while facing the blond-haired figure in a military uniform.
Nakagami shrugged.
"Who would have thought that the child we knew would grow up so much, time flies."
"Ah, absolutely---"
Daniele disappeared from his place.
†Switcheroo†
He swung [Regulus Nemea] away behind him.
But before it could land, a hand covered in a metal glove and oozing an abnormal amount of 'Ki' prevented the attack.
"Why are you on Satanael's side? You were more honorable!"
Nakagami didn't utter a word; his body instantly moved away from where it was.
'Teleportation? No, positional ground change? Can he do that?'
Nakagami then suddenly raised a gun and shot Daniele.
Instead of fleeing, Daniele reached out and welcomed the bullet, trusting in his ranged defense.
"hm?"
He quickly caught the useless bullet.
Daniele felt a real burning and pain in his skin as he held the bullet; you shouldn't forget he was a Cadre-Class Angel!
" Watch out for the bullets! They have anti-angel properties.!!!
Daniele shouted quickly, of course he'd just made up the Anti-Angel trait now, but the bullet was essentially affecting his angel side...and not much came to his mind.
"Bullets made from the blood of original Maou's, aren't they beautiful?"
Daniele grumbled as he lunged forward.
Nakagami reappeared right in front of him
He pressed the gun directly against his shoulder.
He wanted to use direct contact to overcome ranged defenses at close range.
Daniele had another plan.
The small green stone ring on her finger suddenly glowed, replaced by a ring with an eyeball; as it glowed, the eye's target was a gun.
As the gun began to petrify along with Nakagami's hand, Nakagami's glove glowed again, releasing an overwhelming amount of 'Ki' once more.
While he blocked the petrification of his hand, the gun couldn't escape it.
"Gah!"
The pain was unbearable, even as Touki tried to protect him when the arrow hit Nakagami directly in the stomach.
Despite everything, Nakagami was once hailed as the strongest of the Ouryuu.
The stones flew up from the ground, wrapped around his arm, and spun like a drill along his arm.
Nakagami's fist slammed into his face, causing cuts to his skin.
At the same time, stone spears rose, aiming at his back.
Daniele didn't even look back; after all, there was no need. Trusting in Chamuel's method, his wings transformed with such precision into blades, shattering the spears. .
†Magic Staff Lightning Halberd†
Daniele's battle axe suddenly took on the appearance of Halberd as it was engulfed in lightning.
As he was thrown around, his body collided with the twin fists of Nakagami, who was completely clad in stone armor.
*Bammm!!*
As Nakagami's armor shattered, lightning bolts, guided by Daniele, enveloped it.
†Lightning Bind†
The lightning cubes coiled around Nakagami's arms and legs, trapping him.
As Daniele punched him right in the chest, 15 Magic Arrows of wind coiled around his arm.
†Crushing Fist of Majestic Winds†
Before the blow could even touch him, the back of the stone armor opened and Nakagami escaped.
He simultaneously threw five cards around the him.
As for his punch, it was shattered in a single blow by the force of the wind, which was like a drill, and the lack of support from Nakagami.
Instead of falling, the stones suddenly flew in various directions.
A complex Japanese-based circle of magic formed around Daniele, each element positioned at a specific location on the ground.
"Seal!"
With his index and middle fingers brought together, and at the sound of Ouryuu's previous words, Daniele was suddenly immobilized by pressure from all sides; even his Holy Power or other abilities were locked away.
"Don't you think I prepared for your arrival?This seal is something that can even hold you captive, believe me. "
Daniele gritted his teeth and tried to escape, but Nakagami's lies became obvious.
This seal restricted his movement and energy in every way.
This thing even prevented the emergence of his Sacred Gear !
'How does Nakagami possess something so powerful?'
As Daniele's gaze fell... everything went dark, the surroundings were Nakagami, the other battles were below, only a giant golden line passed with Daniele standing on it.
'What the hel---'
The scene vanished as Daniele blinked.
"You're harnessing the energy flowing through the Dragon Veins...it's like you've placed me under the weight of all of Hong Kong."
His lips moved involuntarily, and he herself didn't understand why he could sense it.
Oh wait... he actually knew.
'Ouryuu lineage...This level of Dragon Vein interaction is seriously abnormal! He doesn't even have the Sacred Beast right now, how is he doing this? '
His gaze then fell on the strange glove...and the orange light there.
[A spirit, or more precisely, a higher-level Earth Spirit]
'Only with the soul can I achieve this kind of productivity... damn it, am I the monster or is he?'
Nakagami was stunned by his words, but he didn't stop his movement.
Daniele wasn't afraid of the ranged defenses because Longinus had been recaptured, so a drill made of stone flew straight at him.
Daniele grinned at the drill that appeared in front of him.
The stone drill was suddenly confronted with a golden aura enveloping its body; even though it turned violently in the face of the aura, it could not move forward.
"But your Longinus..."
Nakagami looked surprised while Daniele chuckled.
"Well, I grew up too, and the nice thing about concept-like based skills is... that they're nonsense!"
Suddenly, a huge purple cross of light appeared behind Daniele.
Purple flames blazed beneath the cross's light, and the high-level sealing spell that enveloped Daniele shattered.
"Creating it required a lot of preparation..."
Daniele ignored Nakagami's complaint.
"And I think you shouldn't forget that I'm not alone."
Nakagami raised his arm and grabbed the iron pipe that had struck it.
"Don't worry, I didn't."
"You'll say, 'I wish I had wanted to do that,' you freak!"
As Kaname screamed, a sudden burst of light emanated from the end of the pipe, throwing Nakagami off balance. The young angel's six wings then unfolded, and he unleashed a kick.
For Nakagami, escaping from this kick was easy.
But the giant claw that emerged from his shadow and slashed his back didn't make the situation any more difficult.
Nakagami couldn't resist the kick, blood gushing from his mouth; he slid into the corner, bleeding from his back as the impact of the kick hit him.
At the same time, Riser fell from the sky as a Phoenix covered in [Hell Fire].
"Phenex Bomber!!!"
As Riser screamed, his entire body suddenly burst into flames, and a massive fire blast engulfed Nakagami.
As Bester breathed flames from his mouth, the gust of wind that shot out of Daniele's hand moved in two directions.
Kaname took a deep breath, raised her iron pipe, and the power of light flowed through the pipe.
She swung it down as if it was a sword.
Daniele sent a fireball of purple flames.
The stream of light also collided with the firestorm that rose into the sky.
It eventually produced a second explosion.
From the explosion emerged a figure of Riser engulfed in flames, his whole body seemingly reformed by the flames...the thing was naked.
"Put something on, damn it!"
Kaname closed his eyes, even considering gouging them out to erase the scene.
"Hahaha, you're welcome for the fan service!"
He said this while forming a suit.
Daniele, however, looked directly at the blast that had destroyed everything, where it was still engulfed in flames.
As Bester emerged from the shadows beside him, he stood in front of Daniele, just in case, to defend his Master
{He didn't die. }
With Chief Mourner's words, stone pillars rose up, dispersing the flames there.
There, Nakagami was standing with all his limbs intact, but he was so badly burned he was practically half dead, about to breathe his last... until he pulled out a bottle and dripped something onto himself.
His whole body recovered to a certain extent at that moment.
"Hey, where did you find those things?!"
Riser shouted with an unexpected rage.
"Hmm? This? A fake phoenix tear, not as effective as the real thing, as expected. The Khaos Brigade has started producing these."
Kaname raised one eyebrow as she slung her pipe over shoulder.
"Wow~ it looks like something that should be a secret."
She said it in a dry tone.
Undoubtedly, Kaname was right; it should have been a secret, but Nakagami wasn't a fool, so why did he tell them?
Daniele was thinking about the answer.
"Why are you on their side?"
Finally, he decided to be direct.
Nakagami looked, and looked, and looked.
"You mentioned honor to me....honor is... it's not as important to me as family."
"Do you think we'll let you go-----"
Before Riser could finish his sentence, orange and red lights suddenly flashed in the distance.
Nakagami smiled at them.
"No...but you'll go after something much more important to you...I would do the same."
His body disintegrated as it began to turn to sand.
........
Ravel was flying through the sky in a panic.
She wore long black boots, black mini-shorts, tights, and a sleeveless black top while flying with fiery Phenex wings.
Ravel wore a gold skirt buckle attached to her waist and gold bracelets on her arms; although the bodice of the garment was relatively open, the black fabric underneath covered her skin, revealing her developing figure
Of course, it would be better if there wasn't that look of panic on her face right now.
Ravel dodged the ice spears coming from behind her.
She gritted her teeth as one of them stuck into her shoulder.
At the same time, flames appeared on her shoulder, melting the ice and activating the [Immortality] Trait to heal her, but the ice was slowing the process down.
Ravel wasn't really a warrior by nature, but she had to be one now!
In Ravel's free hand, a fire rope manifest from the Yellow-orange Demonic Magic Circle with a Phenex crest.
Ravel used this to pull herself back and force a turn, simultaneously releasing the flame and activating the [Wind] Trait behind her, and her body shot forward.
As she flew with acceleration towards one of the enemies, she placed her flaming hand on his chest.
As [Hell Fire] pierced his chest, the man turned to ashes without uttering a cry of pain.
At the same time, bursts of flame shot from Ravel's other hand towards the building, simultaneously releasing currents of wind.
Not only that, she also created explosions in the air.
The massive building began to slowly collapse as its lower parts exploded.
Ravel continued the explosions while evading the attacks...but ultimately, Ravel was up against many.
Although her plan was to collapse the building on top of them, she didn't quite succeed.
This caused a gunshot and a bullet to lodge in her leg, sending her staggering through the air.
"Light projectiles...."
As Ravel spoke through clenched teeth, her simultaneously received projectile fire and magical explosions from multiple directions.
"Come on, what happened, our dear nobleman!?"
The Defensive Magic Circles finally collapsed under such attack.
Her body fell.
Ravel spread her wings before crashing to the ground and rolled around on the ground.
"Gah!"
With a cry of pain, she bounced on the ground and hit the wall.
As flames raged across many parts of her body, trying to heal her, Ravel gasped for breath, her voice filled with cries of pain.
Magicians and enemies wielding rifles that fired light projectiles surrounded Ravel, their attitudes mocking her.
The large man in front of them licked his lips as he looked specifically at her body.
He is a tall, heavily muscled with short, messy black hair, rugged stubble, and a sharp, arrogant expression. He wears dark, heavy armor characterized by a distinct bright red pauldron on his left shoulder
"They wanted us to get our hands on Phenex, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun, my friends, as long as she's alive, that's enough, what do you say, you bastards, shall we taste this noble whore!?"
As he said this, his gaze lingered on Ravel's bare skin beneath his clothes, which were partially torn by the blows he had suffered.
Ravel looked directly at them...and smiled.
"As if I would let barbarians like you touch me...."
Other one else laughs.
"Do you think you have a choice, huh? I heard Phenex womans are fertile, let's see how true that is."
Ravel didn't answer...to be honest, she didn't see the need...after all, they soon will die
Where Ravel fell, Demonic Magic Circle's appeared, and as winds emanated from them, dust rose high.
At that moment, the person holding the rifle was horrified.
"Run away immediately! This slut's purpose is----"
Ravel was flicking her fingers when the [Hell Fire] spark ignited.
*Booooooommmm!!!!!!!!*
"Dust explosion"
But Ravel's work is not finished.....
*Booom*Boom*Booooom*Boom*Booooooooommmmm*
The magic circles she placed in the buildings earlier have exploded!
They all started falling, right on top of them!!!!
Ravel leaned back, breathless; all her energy seemed to be in the air.
But at that moment, to Ravel's horror, a figure could barely be pulled out from among the ruins.
The group's leader !
The large man glared at Ravel with hatred, his facial features distorted.
As two teeth grew on the sides of his mouth, his facial features began to resemble a pig.
This guy was actually a Pig Youkai!
"Did you think I was in charge of them for nothing...do you think this will stop us...?"
A few people managed to escape, but there were only 3 or 4 left at most, which was truly pathetic considering a group of more than 10 people ended up in this situation.
"Do you think your family will be proud of you for doing this!?----"
But before he could finish his sentence, a cold voice was heard.
"Yes, quite."
[Hell Fire] rained down from the sky, overwhelmingly surpassing Ravel's.
At the same moment, Ravel relaxed when she saw the figure appear before her, leaning her tired body against the lion-themed armor, which looked tough but felt strangely comfortable.
Daniele gently lifted her up.
As Ravel, exhausted, she leaned against Daniele, who was careful not to harm her
"Sending us signals with explosions was a good idea, well done."
Daniele stroked her hair.
He even gave Ravel a light kiss on the head, much to her surprise.
'It was worth it!!!!
Ravel thought this as she buried her face in Daniele's chest.
Then Daniele 's gaze turned to the men, half-burned by Riser, their expressions quite indifferent.
"Why aren't you helping us?! Aren't you angels supposed to protect mankind from Devil?! What else are you good for?!"
Daniele finally opened his mouth.
"Someone didn't pay much attention to history in middle school, do you think? How many witch trials or hunts did the Church conduct?"
"The Church and Heaven are for protecting the innocent, from monsters as well as... from people themselves."
Even though the man tried to open his mouth with rage, he couldn't find anything to say, so he closed it again.
But their leader, a half-roasted Pig Youkai, laughed in his last breath.
"Are you sure you want to waste our time? After all, isn't there something missing here?"
Daniele knew who he was talking about.... Shigune was supposed to be with Ravel, but she was nowhere to be found.
Ravel murmured in a weary tone.
"The space suddenly separated us..."
Without saying anything, Daniele gently handed Ravel to Mihae, who had arrived there.
"What is your plan?"
Daniele asked face to face.
"Huh? Why don't you beg? I'll think about it--"
Before he could finish his sentence, Daniele reached out and grabbed him by the head.
Daniele didn't need his answer; thinking was enough.
†I invoke Queen Mab, the Dream Fairy,
Open the door and invite me into dreams†
While binding Youkai's mind to himself, the pig gained access to all of his thoughts at that moment.
He narrowed his eyes at the information.
Then he coldly looked at the Youkai in his hand.
"The question is... how many volts do you think it takes for your brain to collapse under a lightning strike?"
"Hu---Aaaahhhhhh?!!!!"
