Chapter 160: Conflict

To follow Lavinia, who had followed Augusta, Tobio and the others went into the depths of the mountain.

However...

Suddenly, they were enveloped by a dense fog. And to their surprise, when they realized what had happened, in front of their eyes were Mordred and a tall man.

"Huh? What is this? We were following Lavinia... And now, in front of us, is Mordred-san... Huh?"

Natsume could not hide her astonishment.

Tobio was in the same situation... However, he had thought that the earlier fog was caused by a supernatural power, one that had transported them to this place.

The tall man approached them as he watched them with his silver eyes.

His gaze was serious towards them, a penetrating gaze that could even see their souls.

Valina tensed when she recognized him, but a bold smile soon appeared on her face. Her body exuded a powerful fighting intent.

"The False God, the White Dragon Empress, and the Shi Akuma. It has been a while since we met for some, and I am pleased to meet the newcomers. I am Satanael."

"…!"

In the presence of this man, those who did not know him (Tobio, Natsume, Sae and Kouki) were completely shocked.

That is because they recognized the name behind all the incidents that occurred. He is the Cadre who betrayed Azazel and Grigori, the final enemy.

Shigune said quietly as she held Poh-kun.

"He's that handsome man I mentioned earlier... That person was the one who made a contract with Koga-kun."

Everyone gave Koga a look, remembering his earlier transformation.

It was not hard to see that the man in front of them was the one in charge of that transformation. The mastermind behind the entire incident with the Utsusemi was probably this man, no, they were certain it was this man.

Jin, who was on guard against Satanael's presence, was using his eyes and ears to investigate the surroundings.

Somehow, the enemy had already completely surrounded the place.

In response to that, without making a sound, Jin raised his battle aura. Seeing that, Satanael showed a happy expression.

Satanael pointed at Jin as he spoke.

"You, False God boy, are you aware that Lycaon's will resides within this Sacred Gear?"

"I heard something about that from my leader."

Drako had already explained to Tobio everything he needed to know about his Sacred Gear. Of course, he didn't tell him everything, since there were things even Drako didn't know. He had left that to Baraqiel, as Grigori knew everything that had happened to the previous owners of the Longinus.

At least Drako had told her everything that mattered and its origin.

Satanael mentioned things similar to Drako.

"The paradise that appears in the Greek mythology "Arcadia", it is said that Lykaon was the name of the King who ruled it. Due to the accumulation of faults against the main God Zeus, he earned Zeus' anger and was transformed into a beast. His name was passed down through history as an evil king.

Lykaon...

The first werewolf, the evil King who is said to be the true ancestor of this race. As for the story of Lykaon, she was very famous for becoming a wolf. It was even said that it was the temporary form that a God took when he walked the earth.

Satanael looked at Jin with narrowed eyes.

"But, it's not a wolf that's your business, he's become a dog. It is a False God who is not a wolf at all... The reason for that is something that even the Grigori have not been able to find out. Even this may be a very rare case for the God who created all this. Probably, not even God had thought of this happening."

Satanael raised his index finger.

"But, your Sacred Gear is a special case in which more than one will be lodged."

Yes, that's right. Even among the Longinus, it's a strange thing to have two wills in one Sacred Gear.

"Ame no Ohabari". The strongest sword among all the Totsuka-No-Tsurugi, which are swords considered to be sacred swords because they possess great sacred power. Although it is considered a God, it is still a sword. That existence is also housed in Sacred Gear."

The source of the swords and blades created by Jin is the [Ame no Ohabari].

However, this sword had lost its divinity as a result of being under the influence of Lykaon, thus becoming a malevolent sword.

Satanael adds.

"So, the fact that you have appeared in the lineage of the Himejima is not strange. The one they worship is God "Hinokagutsuchi". The one who beheaded such a God was the Ame no Ohabari. She is what is known as a God-slayer Sword.

"That's a mixture of Greek and Japanese mythology. Plus, it's the fusion of King Lykaon who had a bad attitude towards Zeus and the sword that killed a god... What a coincidence that the creator of Sacred Gear was so greedy or... was crazy. Don't you think? The False Dog God who possesses the power to kill the Gods."

Satanael asked Tobio that, but...

Canis Lycaon... being a Sacred Gear with two different powers, it is considered a Longinus.

However, because the two consciousnesses are totally opposite, its original characteristics have been deformed and taken the current form.

Tobio responded with great caution.

"I'm terrified to know about my power. But, to overcome the obstacles in front of us, this power is necessary to survive. You seem to have a great interest in Sacred Gear... however... for me, all I care about is getting everyone home safely."

From his shadow, Tobio made a scythe appear.

Satanael saw Tobio's movements with an ironic face and pointed to the scythe.

"You see, that blade is releasing a sinister aura..."

As Satanael has said, the sharp blade of the scythe that Tobio is holding is releasing a dangerous aura. Tobio, being the bearer, felt that something dark was emerging.

Tobio felt that the being inside him was trying to overcome his will, trying to take control of his consciousness... He could still control himself, but if his strength continued to increase... How will all this end?

Satanael then showed an evil smile.

"Besides, you're not the only anomaly here. Aren't you, descendant of Lucifer?"

"What do you mean..." Valina frowned.

She spread her wings of light instantly, Valina knew how dangerous the man in front of her was. Satanael was a man who had deceived someone like Azazel, so he couldn't be underestimated.

"You carry in your veins the blood of the Maou Lucifer, and you also possess the White Dragon Emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that in a few years we will be able to call you the strongest White Dragon Emperor in history. I pity the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation, as he will never be able to match you."

When Valina heard Satanael mention Issei, she couldn't help but mutter "Pervert".

"Still, don't you think it's very curious? For two anomalies to have come together under the same banner, whoever did it has to be someone really scary and interesting. Not only that, but this lady knight here is giving me goosebumps."

Contrary to his words, Satanael was very calm. He even smiled faintly in Mordred's direction, seemed unconcerned about the danger she posed at all.

Meanwhile, Tobio continued to worry about the dark aura emanating from his scythe. That aura should belong to Lykaon.

Satanael didn't let this go.

"Boy, what are you gonna do then? That evil King, Lykaon, seems to be interested in taking over your body. What will you do if that happens?"

"I..."

A melodious voice interrupted Tobio before he could speak.

"Could you please not give this boy any wrong ideas?"

Who appeared is a beautiful girl with black hair, Suzaku Himejima. All over her body you could feel a lot of fighting aura, she seemed to be a little angry.

When the next leader of the Himejima family appeared, the smile on Satanael's face disappeared.

"The Suzaku beast of the Himejima family? Are you after the remains of the Utsusemi Agency?"

In response to Satanael's words, Suzaku responded.

"You can say yes. Though we are few, I give my word that we will catch all the rest of that agency. However, do not hate me if I also catch or hurt the underlings of the "Wizard of Oz". After all, that incident was created by you..."

"As expected from the Himejima family, you are always quick to eliminate any threat to your family. Well, I've met a new friend, and I finally got to see the face of the Fallen God. Well, then, I'll let my subordinates entertain you."

While saying that, Satanael created a magic circle under his feet...

"Will you teleport? I will not allow it..."

Saying that, Suzaku quickly threw a powerful flame at Satanael.

In response, Satanael created a defensive magical circle. Satanael's body was enveloped by the light generated by the magic circle under his feet.

"Let us meet again, ladies and gentlemen..."

When the glow of the magic circle ceased, Satanael had already disappeared.

Suzaku immediately turned to Mordred.

"Miss..."

Understanding Suzaku's intentions, Mordred introduced herself.

"Mordred."

Suzaku nodded and asked.

"Miss Mordred, why didn't you help me stop him? I'm sure if we both acted together, we could have caught him."

Actually, Suzaku was a little upset. This was a perfect opportunity to catch the mastermind behind the whole incident. However, Mordred hadn't even tried to delay him.

"My master's orders. All your complaints, keep them to yourself. I have no intention of hearing you cry with fancy words. Besides, I don't think it would have been that easy. You should have felt all those waiting to ambush us from the shadows, and you should know how lethal those guys' abilities are."

This lady's master should be Drako. Although Suzaku was confused and did not understand what Drako was thinking, he should have his own reasons for doing so.

After she sighed, she turned to those who were hidden in this area.

"Please come out. Since your leader has left, you have stayed to fight us, right?"

At the words of Suzaku, two men and a woman emerged from the shadows.

One of the men was quite strange, although he had a well-worked physique, and the other man had a bandage wrapped around his right arm. The woman had her hair in two braids and held a teddy bear in her two arms, all of it damaged.

They are all wearing a suit similar to "Nephilim"... the Abyss Team suit.

These strange subjects were emanating a murderous aura from their bodies, and in their eyes, you could see their thirst for blood. Those eyes reflected the purest evil.

Their abilities were also in the information they received.

Therefore, the Sacred Gears these subjects possess are evil. They were neglected as children because their blood families abandoned them in fear of them. Not only that, but several people have tried to kill them in the past.

They lived alone while seeing the dark side of humanity. Their personality was taken away from them, leaving only their instincts and abilities.

They are also known to be killers. These people have done many bad things, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, by gathering them together in Grigori... Satanael began to use them according to his will.

The woman holding the teddy bear in her hands takes a step forward and says:

"Oi, oi... You're Sacred Gear bearers too, aren't you?"

She put aside the pretty smile on her face and put on an expression of disgust.

"So... how many people have you killed? Five? Ten? Or more?"

Hearing those questions from the woman, the men started laughing in mockery.

Mordred stepped forward and stuck her sword in front of her. Her bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible to evaluate her expression.

"The people I have killed are countless. Have I killed hundreds? Have I killed thousands? Tens of thousands? I don't know, I haven't counted. But I can say that my actions caused the death of more people than you can ever kill in your lifetime. Do you think you have seen the worst of the world? Don't make me laugh. You don't know what true terror is. You don't know what it's like to live through a civil war, you don't know what it's like to fight to the death against your own people. You don't know what it feels like to be rejected by the person you admire, you don't know what it feels like to kill that person with your own hands. You... don't know anything."

Mordred spoke calmly, and every of her words reached the ears of all present. Everyone, including the members of the Abyss Team, trembled at the purity and truth of her words.

The girl... went crazy.

She began to move her head strangely sideways, and out of nowhere, she screamed.

"You bitch... What do you know! I'll be killed! I'll be killed! Forgive me! I didn't do anything, I was just watching! I was just playing with that child! Yuuri-chan and Mirei-chan wanted to play with this child too! So, FORGIVE MEEEEEE! I didn't do anything wrong! That child, Yuuri-chan and Mirei-chan ended up in pieces is not my fault!"

She stared at a fixed point... which indicated the beginning of the battle.

The cuddly toy that the woman was holding in her arms moved away from her, and although that cuddly toy was lying on the ground, it began to grow and finally took on a gigantic size.

What appeared in front of Mordred was a ten-foot-tall cuddly toy.

The cuddly toy made a strange roar, and powerful fangs appeared when it opened its mouth. In the same way, sharp claws appeared in his hands.

This was this girl's Sacred Gear.

The strange man spat out a strange substance.

Mordred dodged, and the tree behind her melted when it received the liquid.

This boy could bring a highly toxic slime to life... but he couldn't create just one slime.

The kid started spitting out slime all the time.

The last boy, the one with the bandages on his right arm, removed the bandages. What was left was an arm with multiple mouths.

The ability of this one was his arm, as those mouths could create multiple curses that were indefensible to anyone who heard them.

These kids would probably put up a good fight for Tobio's group. But with Valina, Suzaku and Koga here, this should be pretty easy.

However, none of them needed to act.

Mordred had raised her sword. Crimson lightning flashed through the blade, and she mumbled a few words.

"Crimson Lightning!"

Lifting her blade to the heavens, Mordred let out all the mana that had accumulated on the sword, creating a deadly attack on all three humans.

"It's over, I hope you, like me, have a better chance in your next life," Mordred muttered.

She turned to the group still in shock.

"Right, we're off." She gave the order she had received from Drako.

"But..." Natsume protested instantly.

"No buts! These are Drako's orders! We've accomplished our goal by gathering the remaining Shi Akuma, we're all leaving except Valina."

Natsume wanted to protest more, but fell silent when she heard that Drako had personally ordered it.

She wanted to go and rescue Lavinia, but it seemed that wasn't necessary.

"Valina, Drako orders you to go and support him and Lavinia in their fight against Augusta."

"Huh, so my Big Brother requires the services of the great White Dragon Empress."


Chapter 161: Battle between Longinus.

After killing all the wizards, Drako stood in front of Walburga.

After killing all the magicians, Drako had reached level 74. If he killed Walburga, there was no doubt that he could reach the level needed to evolve.

However, Drako had no plans to kill Walburga today. She was necessary, very necessary, for the development of this world to be as Drako wants it to be.

Hexennacht is an important part of the Khaos Brigade. Without Walburga, Rizevim could not have freed the Trihexa. Therefore, Drako needed Walburga to support Rizevim in the future.

The magicians who attacked when Vali betrayed Azazel belong to this organization. All of those mages were more powerful than the ones Drako had killed today, as they had power comparable to a Mid-Class Devils.

There were tens or even hundreds of magicians in that attack, which meant a lot of experience for Drako.

Killing Walburga was going to give Drako a lot of experience, but it wasn't the best option he could take. Besides, it was better to kill her when she had the Longinus Incinerate Anthem in her hands since Drako would get much more experience.

"Onii-san! You're so cool!"

Walburga sucked her finger erotically, while the free hand was inserted into her skirt. The characteristic smell of female pheromones reached Drako's nose, so he knew she wasn't faking masturbation.

Without a doubt, Walburga was a pervert. And she didn't bother to hide it.

Drako approached her, making Walburga blush. Her breathing became erratic as her hand movements accelerated.

If Drako were to describe what he was feeling seeing this, he would only need a word.

Disgust.

Drako was feeling disgusted at seeing Walburga's behaviour. She was crazy, and he didn't want anything to do with her.

Drako grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up, slowly suffocating her. The only reaction Walburga had was to stick out her tongue like a dog, and she accelerated the movement of her hand even more.

She was a masochist.

To tell you the truth, Drako was enjoying this feeling of domination. He felt that he could do anything he wanted with her, anything. He could rape Walburga, and she wouldn't say anything, and she would even kneel down in front of him to ask for more.

In other words, he could make Walburga his sex slave if he wanted to. And that gave him an incredible sense of satisfaction.

Still, he didn't want that; despite how much satisfaction it gave him.

Walburga was a walking bomb, a danger to Drako. She might not do anything to him personally, but the same could not be said for the rest of them.

If Drako made Walburga his personal slave, he had no doubt that she would try to be his only sex slave. She would try to eliminate anyone who threatened her place with Drako.

Drako clenched his fist, and he punched Walburga in the stomach.

She automatically lost consciousness, but she seemed to have climaxed at the same time.

Drako left her body on the floor, and he asked.

"Did I do a good job?"

"You're not going to kill her?"

Thalia came out of hiding.

Seeing how Drako had killed all the wizards without hesitation, she wondered why he hadn't done the same to the leader. The logical thing to do would be to finish her off now, so he could get to the root of the problems.

"I have my own plans," Drako responded.

He was not going to explain to her that in the future, Walburga was going to be one of the leaders of the most significant terrorist organization.

Thalia respected Drako's decision. Her job was to supervise Drako, not get involved in all this trouble.

Artemis' hunters didn't get involved in politics or anything like that. They just had to fulfil the missions their Goddess gave them.

So far, Drako was fulfilling the mission perfectly. He had only used the bow, and had not had any losses.

She was a bit surprised at the ease with which Drako had finished off the wizards. If it were not for the power of his arrows, Drako would not have been able to kill the wizards so easily.

They may not be the most talented, but one could not underestimate a group of wizards. But those shields shouldn't be so easy to penetrate, especially after Walburga's help. Even for the special arrows of Artemis' slayers, it would take two or three arrows to destroy one of those shields.

These arrows were abnormally powerful. Thalia still remembered the sense of danger she had felt from those arrows.

Suddenly, Drako was alarmed.

Thalia had felt the same as he, too, as they both looked in the same direction. Tobio and the others had gone in that direction.

"A Sacred Gear."

Drako remembered that there was a member of Satanael's team who had a Sacred Gear transfer type. They had set a trap for Drako and the rest.

Maybe they didn't expect Drako to be left behind. So, he could go straight to help Lavinia.

Drako received a telepathic message from Mordred.

"Master, the rest of the group has appeared here. Satanael seems to be interested in them, what do I do?"

"Let him talk, the more information he reveals, the better for us. In case of a fight, don't kill him. He's a good source of experience, especially the Abyss Team. And, even if we don't kill him, they're going to become the foundation for Tobio's growth and the rest. When Satanael retires, I want you to take everyone except Valina. Our mission was to recover the two remaining Shi Akuma, and that's already been accomplished. Send Valina with me when you're done with all that."

"I understand."

Drako cut off communication with Mordred. He trusted that she could carry out the orders he had given.

Now, Drako had to go and support Lavinia.

The last time Lavinia fought Augusta, they seemed pretty evenly matched. However, he knew that Augusta was only playing with Lavinia.

It was impossible that Lavinia, who had only been practicing magic for a few years, could fight an old witch like Augusta.

It's true that Lavinia is a rare genius, but Augusta is no ordinary wizard.

Drako headed in the direction Lavinia was, and Thalia followed him.

As he went along, Drako felt the change in the atmosphere. There were bursts of cold and heat, and this increased as he approached Lavinia.

Obviously, the ice was coming from Lavinia and the fire from Augusta. The Longinus of both were altering the climate of this area. You could see the destruction in the forest created by fire and ice.

The crying of the forest reached Drako, which unconsciously caused pain in Drako. Not physical pain, but a psychological one.

The trees had been burned to the point where they melted, while others had been completely frozen.

Although there were still hundreds of feet left, the loud explosions of the battle could already be heard.

Drako accelerated, stepping out of the forest, and reached a large river surrounded by large boulders. Lavinia and Augusta stood face to face on each side of the river.

Both had several magical circles in front of them and were staring at one another.

Next to each of them were their Longinus. The giant ice doll was next to Lavinia, while a purple giant was next to Augusta.

Lavinia created a lot of spears of ice from the magic circles and threw them to Augusta. The witch did not stand idly by and counterattacked with several arrows of fire. Both spells generated a strong impact.

Next to Augusta, a fire giant was holding a gigantic cross that began to swing with great force. The moment it was swung, a great deal of flame of indescribable intensity appeared. Those flames were directed at the ice princess.

The giant ice princess crossed her four arms, and many ice sheets appeared. These were thrown towards the fire giant.

Giant flames and giant pillars of ice collided, creating a huge explosion.

Drako sensed how dangerous the attacks by the two Longinus were. Even with his dragon form, even with all the best he could get, he would be hurt if any of those attacks fell on his body.

"A battle between two Longinus. Magnificent."

Even Thalia felt the danger of seeing this tremendous fight. They were not Longinus for nothing.

Even with his improved arrows, Drako felt he wasn't going to have enough impact in the fight. The normal attacks of the two Longinus were at the same level as those arrows.

If Drako really wanted to support Lavinia, he would have to use a Noble Phantasm...

Lavinia and Augusta were facing a tough battle, but Drako knew this was only the beginning.

For Lavinia, this was just a warm-up. Drako, who had been with her for several months, knew that she was capable of much more than this. Of course, the same went for Augusta.

Of the magical circles the two had created, not only fire and ice were produced. There were also attacks by water, wind, lightning, arrows of light, a great deal of dark magical aura, and numerous other extraordinary phenomena.

All of these powerful attacks impacted the river, destroying it in the process.

Augusta had a cheerful smile, while Lavinia kept a neutral expression.

Then, they seemed to notice Drako's arrival. Thalia had already gone into hiding, not wanting the presence of one of Artemis' slayers to be detected.

"Oh, so we have a little guest."

Seeing that Drako had arrived, Lavinia was able to relax a little.

"I'm here to help you, Lavinia."

Hearing Drako's words, Augusta scoffed.

"Little boy... you know what? If you get in the way of a battle of Longinus bearers, you'll end up dead. You're no match for the Ice Princess' level of magic, let alone mine."

Contrary to Augusta's expectations, Drako nodded. Though he was strong, he also knew his own limitations. Though he had improved, it was still difficult to face an experienced Longinus user on his own.

He was not fighting alone, however. Lavinia was with him, and there was one more attendant.

The forest.

Drako's [Touki] skill was at level 4, which added 40% to all his stats.

But right now, they were in the woods.

Thanks to the skill [The One Who Is Loved By Nature], Drako could receive natural energy from the forest. In this case, [Touki] went up a level.

"[Touki] I know. I couldn't win against you if this was a 1 vs 1, in normal cases. However, you are alone while we are a team."

A grey aura began to surround Drako's body. It was Touki's aura.

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

[Drako]

Race: Nephilim Dragon

Status: Human form + Touki

Lv: 74/75

HP: 485/485

MP: 312/450

Strength: 250 + 125 = 325

Defense: 225 + 112 = 337

Magic: 232 + 116 = 348

Agility: 400 + 200 = 600

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

It was a big improvement on Drako's stats.

He was still far from being able to fight at the same level as Augusta and Lavinia in their human form, but he only had to support Lavinia. Besides, Augusta was still a human, a single arrow was enough to end her life.

It was a shame that Drako could not use his dragon form, as it would make this fight much easier. The trial Artemis had given him did not allow him to do that.

"It is a pity, I would like to see the girl from the Black Lion. I want to see how Grigori has handled his situation."

"I wish you wouldn't bring others into this conversation," Lavinia warned.

Augusta smiled brightly.

"Is that so? You know what, though? That was something we gave to Satanael and the Utsusemi Agency. Glenda's research was really useful, you know? It's all thanks to Glenda who took care of the little ice princess."

"So, they forcibly stole Oshishou-sama's information..."

On hearing those words, Augusta let out a smile...

"Kukukuku..."

Drako had a terrible feeling.
