When I was about to go hitting towards the block surrounding Ophis, Sensei stops me. “Ise! Don’t take it on! He’s your ultimate natural enemy! He can’t be compared to Vali! That dragon must have the power to kill dragons easily! I mean, the situation is already bad since Ophis can’t even get out of it! The enemy is a dragon but don’t use Ascalon! We don’t know what will happen against the ultimate dragon-slayer!”
“Even if you say that, something terrible will happen if Ophis's caught by them right! ?”
I shout. Then Xenovia goes forward immediately and slashes down her Durandal at Samael! The absolute wave from the holy-sword goes down towards Samael…. BANG! There was something that hit it to the side….. It’s Cao Cao’s holy spear! “You do a good attack from the start again, Xenovia of the Durandal. But there’s no second time.”
Cao Cao clicks his fingers. “I thought I attacked with good timing…… Is my first strike with Durandal easy to read?” Xenovia asked. "I also think it was good timing. But since she attacked first with Durandal at Kyoto, it’s natural that they would be on alert. Cao Cao did stop it easily. But you sure like to give a hello attack don’t you, Xenovia? I won’t say anymore than this!" Then Vali turns into his armour form while releasing white lights. “So my opponent is Samael. On top of that two high-tier Longinus possessors. I have no complaints.”
With Vali’s word, Kuroka and Le Fay also made a battle stance. I’m not copying Vali but I also made a battle stance. The Gremory team members also did the same. Sensei also enveloped his body with the armour of Fafnir! Anyway there’s one thing I know. If attacks don’t work on the block or Samael’s tongue, then we have to hit his body! It’s absolutely dangerous to have Ophis taken by these guys of who we can’t understand what they are thinking! “Ravel. You are a guest and my precious manager. I can’t have you dying on me, so step back.”
Ravel nods and steps back with my request. That’s good. The wife from the House of Phoenix asked us to take care of Ravel but that doesn’t include battles that involve risking her life. I promised her that “I will protect Ravel”. In the worst case scenario, I have to at least make sure Ravel escapes. Of course I’m not planning to let the others or myself die either! Looking at our battle stances, Cao Cao put on a smile of enjoyment. “With you guys as my opponent, it will be dangerous if I don’t become serious. Since Hades only allowed us to use Samael once. Our plan will fail if we don’t decide it here. Georg! I will leave the controlling of Samael to you. I will take care of these guys.”
Georg says it while controlling Samael. “Can you take the two-heavenly dragons, the Governor of fallen-angels, and the Gremory team by yourself?”
“I will make it happen. If I can’t do something as simple as this, then I basically have no right to hold this spear.”
Cao Cao’s spear then makes a bright light! “---Balance Breaker.”
Saying that, something in Cao Cao’s body changes! A ring of light that gave out intense light appears behind him and 7 bowling ball sized balls floating up in the air appeared! It was a silent Balance-Breaker. Until now I have seen many types of Balance-Breaker, but this is my first time seeing something so silent and simple. Even the spear looks basically the same. Cao Cao takes a step forward. At the same time, the 7 orbs around him move as well. “This is my [True Longinus]’s Balance-Breaker, [Polar Night Longinus Chakravartine]. ---Though it’s still incomplete.”
Seeing Cao Cao, Sensei shouts. “---! A sub-species! The Balance-Breaker that the previous [True-Longinus] used until now was [True-Longinus Götterdämmerung]! From the name of it, are you implying that you are the ideal ruler!? Damn it! Even I don’t know what those 7 orbs are!”
“I actually want to call myself the ideal ruler of heaven. That sounds cooler right?”
I don’t understand what Cao Cao is saying. But a sub-species of the ultimate holy-spear! What kind of ability does it have!? Vali then says it after standing next to me. “Careful. That Balance-Balance-Breaker has the ability called “Seven Treasures” and has 7 Sacred Gear abilities. So there are abilities for each orb.”
I got shocked at what he said! “Seven!? Not two or three! ?”
“Yeah seven. Each of those abilities is deadly. Though I only know three of them. That’s why it’s called the Ultimate-Longinus. There’s no doubt that he’s the strongest out of pure humans. …….Yes among humans.”
…..Even Vali says this much…… But the pressure coming out of his body is quite lower compared to Samael's….. I was more nervous in the fight against Sairaorg-san….. But I shouldn’t let my guard down. I was almost killed by him once in Kyoto. ---With the normal state holy spear that is. Cao Cao then moves one of his hands forward. ----One of the orbs reacts and goes in front of his hand. “One of the Seven-Treasures. Cakka Ratana.”
Saying that, the orb disappears and……
BREAK! The sound of something being destroyed violently echoes throughout the lobby. When I looked around, I saw that the Ex-Durandal still held by Xenovia was destroyed! “……! My Ex-Durandal…..!”
Xenovia also couldn’t react to the sudden action, and her sword was destroyed! The Excalibur, which was made into Durandal’s sheath, was broken! Ho-Ho-Hold on a sec! It got destroyed like that!? What did the orb that just disappeared do…..and why did Ex-Durandal get destroyed all of a suddennnnn!! No-one could react to it and everyone was astonished at the Ex-Durandal being destroyed! “---That is the first one. Cakka Ratana’s ability is to destroy weapons. The ones who can oppose this ability are those who are quite strong.”
Cao Cao says. Then the next moment…..
SPLASH! There was blood spurting from Xenovia’s body…… That’s because there was a hole in her stomach. “Gough….”
Xenovia spits out blood from her mouth and falls down! I can tell that it’s a critical wound with one glance! “I also made the Chiyatsu Calathana change into the shape of a spear and pierced her stomach with it. If you couldn’t see that, then that means you can’t defeat me, wielder of Durandal.”
Hearing Cao Cao, everyone spread out around the scene. “Hurry with healing Xenovia! Asia!”
Rias reacts right away and orders Asia to heal. Asia was standing dazed looking at the fallen Xenovia, she soon realises the situation and goes to Xenovia’s aid! “Xenovia-san! Noooooooo!”
Asia started the healing while crying out loud! ………………….! Bastard! This shit! You hurt Xenovia! You hurt my comrade! Both me who was enraged and…..Kiba went towards Cao Cao! Just like me, Kiba was also furious! “Cao Caooooooo!”
“I won’t forgive you!”
Simultaneous attacks by me and Kiba! But Cao Cao easily dodged them with his holy-spear and made another orb come to his hand! “---Itsutei Ratana.”
FU! The orb went past us and straight towards Rias and Akeno-san! Rias and Akeno-san react to it and try to attack.
