Even though he was covered in wounds, he didn't stop attacking, his figure leaping up again.
He had to save Tia, no matter the cost.
The terrifying Magicules inside him surged, immediately turning into a massive black sphere.
"Go, Dark Meteorite Bomb!"
Footman roared, and the massive black sphere shot towards Albedo. It was so fast that it was already in front of Albedo in the blink of an eye.
Albedo frowned, brandishing the giant axe in her hand, and slashed out.
"Clang—!"
The sound of collision resounded all around, sparks flying.
"Explode!"
Footman yelled, and the massive energy wave raged outwards.
"Boom!"
The entire heaven and earth seemed to tremble; a mushroom cloud suddenly rose, dust filling the air, obscuring everyone's vision.
"Pfft—!"
Footman stepped back a few paces, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When the dust settled, he saw the icy-faced Albedo standing in place, completely unharmed.
The pitch-black armor, like brand-new plating, covered her long, beautiful legs, and combined with her cold and arrogant demeanor, she looked extremely dazzling.
Hermes, a Divine-class armor. Combined with her skill, it can withstand damage from Super-Tier Magic like "Fallen Down" with massive firepower three times a day without injury.
Even Milim's "Drago Nova" could be withstood by Albedo; a mere ultimate move from an Awakened Demon Lord was child's play to her.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Footman coughed violently, despair appearing in his eyes.
"Too weak."
"Give up resisting. Do not mistake the mercy of the supreme being for your qualification to act recklessly!"
Albedo's noble and icy voice, like that of a queen, rang out, her eyes filled with contempt.
"Do you want to continue?"
Draco looked at Footman with a smile, while the giant axe in the hand of Albedo beside him emitted a cold, metallic luster.
"Wait a moment."
Footman stood up with difficulty, glaring at Draco through gritted teeth, "Release Tia, and I'll go with you."
"Huh?"
Draco was stunned, then shook his head: "Sorry, that won't do."
"Bastard! You let go of Tia, Tia is going to beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor!"
Tia struggled, shouting angrily.
To her surprise, Draco actually let go, allowing her to break free from the restraint.
"Eh?"
The little loli didn't react in time.
"Come on, beat me until I'm looking for my teeth all over the floor."
Tia blinked, then a mischievous smile curled on her lips.
The next second, she lunged at Footman and dragged him away as she ran.
She wasn't stupid; knowing she couldn't win and still asking for a beating—when else would she run if not now?
"Snap!"
Seeing this, Draco just snapped his fingers, and countless pitch-black chains appeared out of thin air, binding the two and making them unable to move an inch.
Dark Magic: Dragon-Prisoning Chains!
Draco shook his arms, and the black chains wrapped around them, instantly sealing their power.
The two were dragged back to their original spot, and Tia shouted in frustration, "Damn it, let me go!"
Draco ignored her shouting, only curiously rubbing his chin, looking at the two with great interest.
"Why wear masks for no reason? Let me see your true faces."
"Don't come over!"
Tia screamed in panic.
"Heh, what? Do you think you're too ugly?"
Draco smiled faintly and reached out to remove the clown masks from their faces.
Footman's appearance wasn't anything outstanding; he was just a normal fat man.
Tia, however...
The Crying Clown mask was removed, and what came into view was a very delicate and youthful face, paired with two pink twin tails—she was a total little loli.
"I didn't expect you to have such a temper, but you're quite cute."
Draco smiled slightly and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"You dare pinch me!!!"
The little loli instantly puffed up, looking like she wanted to eat Draco.
Albedo, seeing this, had a strange glint flash in her eyes, and her gaze towards Tia became increasingly cold.
A threat!
Find a chance to eliminate her!
Albedo thought to herself.
After dealing with the two, Draco returned to Nazarick and handed them over to the Fifth Floor, the Frozen Prison, for Nigredo to guard.
Poor Tia was scared unconscious immediately after seeing Nigredo's terrifying appearance.
...
Holy War battlefield, Draco and Albedo stood in the void above.
"I was only gone for ten minutes; how come Hinata is dead by the time I returned."
Draco muttered to himself.
"Master, shall I make a move?"
Albedo drew her massive black poleaxe, looking eager to test her skills.
It was rare for her to get out and stretch her limbs, and her hands had been itching for a fight.
"Except for Granbell, the pawns of the Western Holy Church have all appeared. It is time to close the net."
"Go and rendezvous with Benimaru. Leave this place to you all; I am going to Shalltear's location."
"Understood."
Draco waved his hand, and an entrance immediately opened in the barrier set up by the Seven Luminaries. Albedo promptly entered the battlefield, heading off to meet up with Benimaru.
As for Draco himself, he stepped into a portal and slowly vanished from sight.
...
Somewhere unknown.
The venue for the Walpurgis.
Rimuru slowly stepped out of a portal with Mjurran and the demon Abaddon, and was immediately greeted by a green-haired maid.
"Lord Rimuru, this way please!"
Misari bowed slightly, guiding Rimuru toward the corresponding seat.
At a massive round table, Guy sat at the head, and Rimuru happened to be seated directly opposite him.
As soon as Rimuru arrived, he sensed an aura from the other party that was terrifyingly monstrous.
"So strong..."
Rimuru was astonished.
Although Rimuru's strength was not weak, he was still far from matching this Demon Lord before him.
Not only that, but the other Demon Lords who appeared one after another were also unfathomable; even the maid of one vampire Demon Lord possessed an aura that could rival his own.
Rimuru's expression became much more grave.
This must be that, uh, Luminus, right?
I hope my connection with Veldora isn't discovered, and even if it is, don't expect me to clean up his mess.
Thousands of years ago, the crystallization of the wisdom of the Primordial God and the vampire race was the Ziwei Palace.
That was Luminus's Demon Lord palace at the time, which had been blown away by Veldora...
It is a sad story.
The Demon Lords arrived one after another, and from within a portal, a grey-haired youth with a face full of sleepiness walked out.
He yawned and then, upon seeing Ramiris, greeted her as if they were old friends.
"Yo~ you're still so tiny."
Upon hearing this, Ramiris immediately bristled.
"Do you want to fight?"
"You mere Dino, how are you speaking to me, the Queen?"
Dino looked at the haughty Ramiris and, not getting angry, just shrugged his shoulders.
"Knowing that I would definitely win, I don't want to waste the energy. I'd rather take a nap with that time."
