Vali's lips curled into a fearless sneer. Before Issei's eyes, space itself began to distort as their immensely powerful enemies prepared to emerge.
The space warped, and from within it Loki and Fenrir materialized, casting a brief glance over Rias and her companions.
"What is this? It's hardly any different from the other day. To think you would attempt to stop me and Fenrir with only this... You must be mocking us."
Loki let out a sigh as he surveyed them.
"God Loki, will you not withdraw?"
Baraqiel, acting as the commander of this operation, stepped forward to ask on behalf of them all.
"Oh, spare me. I thought we had settled that little question of intent the other day. Tonight, I shall kill Odin. If you stand in my way, the same fate awaits you."
"!!!!"
A terrifying wave of murderous intent surged toward them. 'What bloodlust!' Honestly, Rias wanted to flee, but as the King, she could not afford to. Forcing strength into her legs, she managed to endure it.
"I see... How unfortunate. Coriana-dono."
"Gotcha~! Just leave it to big sis."
A magic circle bearing the crest of the House of Seere raced across the ground, centered around Loki. It was enormous! To deploy a magic circle of this scale all on her own—she was something else.
In a flash, a blinding light enveloped them, and in the next instant, they found themselves standing upon a vast wasteland. Yes, with this much open space, Kazuki and the others would be able to wield their power to the fullest. But for Loki to not even resist the teleportation—what was he thinking?
"Unexpected. You didn't resist the transfer."
Baraqiel seemed to have been pondering the same thing.
"Why would I? I'll simply dispose of you lot, then take my time with Odin... Hm? He's already here, isn't he?"
Rias's eyes shot wide open at Loki's words, and she spun around. There, right beside Kazuki, Issei, and Vali, stood Odin, sheepishly scratching his head as if trying to play it off.
"Wha!? Why are you here, Odin-sama!!"
Rossweisse shrieked.
"Well, now~ I got caught up in the teleportation. My bad."
'"My bad," my ass, you damn geezer!'
For that instant, Rias felt as though the hearts of everyone present had become one.
Still…
"How did this happen, Coriana!?"
"Eh, don't ask me. Big sis just teleported everyone inside the magic circle, that's all."
When Rias pressed her, Coriana answered with a hint of petulance.
"Heh heh heh... Aaah-hahahaha! Lord Odin, it seems you've decided you wish to be killed by me. Very well, I shall grant that wish. Fenrir!!"
At Loki's command, Fenrir let out a thunderous howl.
Awooooooooooooo!!
The howl seized Rias's heart with sheer terror, rendering her body immobile.
'This is bad! At this rate…' she thought.
Leaving the paralyzed group behind, Fenrir broke into a charge. But before it could reach them, the warriors who had not succumbed to its howl moved to intercept.
"Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!!"
"Divine Dividing Scale Mail!!"
"Guyveeeeer—Gigantic!!"
Amidst crimson light, Issei transformed; amidst white light, Vali transformed; and amidst deep scarlet light, Kazuki's figure changed.
When the radiance subsided, there stood Issei clad in full crimson armor, Vali in full white armor, and Kazuki adorned in Guyver Gigantic.
"Issei, Vali, you two handle Loki!"
"Roger that!!"
Kazuki deployed a barrier and charged headlong into Fenrir. With a thunderous crash like a train collision, Guyver Gigantic and Fenrir slammed together.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!"
Kazuki's Guyver Gigantic sent Fenrir hurtling through the air.
"Whoa~!"
An involuntary gasp escaped Rias's lips. Kazuki stood just under three meters tall, yet it had launched Fenrir, a beast over twenty meters in length, flying backward.
Though he was her lover, Kazuki's sheer absurdity was enough to leave her dumbfounded. But this had successfully drawn Fenrir away from Odin.
"Now! Everyone, commence attack!!"
At Baraqiel's command, they all unleashed their attack upon Fenrir.
From the rear guard, Rias, Akeno, Kuroka, Baraqiel, and Rossweisse fired off their signature magics, while the vanguard—Yumi, Shirone, Xenovia, Irina, Artoria, Bikou, and Arthur—struck in unison. Yuma remained stationed at the very back as Asia's bodyguard.
'Alright, let's do this, everyone! Let's end once and for all.'
Issei and Vali became twin arrows of crimson and white, streaking through the sky.
"This is magnificent! To think the Two Heavenly Dragons would join hands to defeat me! How Delightful. A duet of red and white—allow me to enjoy it from the best seat in the house!!"
Loki gleefully raised his right hand, summoning a Norse magic circle from which countless beams of light shot forth like lasers, homing in on them.
Vali dodged the tracking beams with aerial maneuvers worthy of a dogfight, weaving through the sky in a dazzling display. 'Incredible!' There was no way Issei could pull off the same stunts.
But he couldn't just stand there gawking in admiration. As for Issei, he doubled his armor's defensive power, disregarded whether he got hit, and charged forward at maximum acceleration.
"BoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoost!!"
"Gooooooooo—!!"
A full-force right straight hurtled toward Loki. Loki deployed a defensive magic circle with his left hand, but that didn't matter one bit.
Crack—shatter!!
The defensive circle vanished with a sound like breaking glass.
'Now!'
"Take this, Loki— White Dragon Emperor's Roar —!!"
From Vali's palms thrust forward, an immense torrent of magical power erupted. A white radiance blasted from her hands, cupped together like the maw of a dragon, surging straight at Loki.
"…!!"
The light Vali released swallowed Loki whole, generating a deafening roar, a colossal shockwave, and blistering heat.
'That was close! I almost got caught up in it.' Issei sighed.
However, …
