The Sitri group who were guarding the evacuating civilians has……started a battle against those from the Khaos Brigade!”
That became the signal for the Gremory team to head out. The capital city of the Maou territory in the Underworld (Devil side), Lilith. The area is roughly the same size as the capital city of Japan, Tokyo. In terms of culture, it is no different, and there are very tall buildings and public transport present. It may be a bit different compared to other developed countries, but it is definitely a city. But that city is drawing into a crisis. That’s because the irregular gigantic monster, Jabberwocky, is drawing near. If it arrives, the capital will receive a very devastating blow and the capital would become dead. If the capital goes down, there is no doubt that other areas throughout the Underworld would also be affected. Right now the Lucifer group, Grayfia-sama and Sirzechs-sama’s other servants, are taking Jabberwocky on. It is the group that is said to be the strongest among all Devils. Right now they are evenly matched, and even though they aren’t causing any critical damage to Jabberwocky, they are still succeeding in stalling it. ……Looking at their fight from the news, they are having an even flashier fight than Serafall-sama, and they are stalling Jabberwocky while also changing the area around it. ……It’s my first time seeing them from a television, but the demonic-powers released by Grayfia-sama are even more overwhelming than I imagined and they have so much destructive power that they are annihilating the land itself. So this is the true form of the ultimate Queen who is also the wife of Maou Sirzechs Lucifer…… It might be natural for Buchou to see her as her elder sister who she can respect. But the monster who can’t even be defeated by the Lucifer group led by Grayfia-sama is the Jabberwocky. ……How much hatred does one need to create such a monster…..? But I heard that thanks to the Lucifer group, the evacuation of the city is almost complete. Young Devils such as the Sitri group are being dispatched to confirm whether there is anyone who has been left behind. I also heard that Sairaorg Bael is taking on the Old-Maou faction Devils who are rampaging in the capital. We, the Gremory group, and Irina-san have just arrived in the North-west district of the capital using the big magic circle located in the basement of Gremory castle. We left Ravel-san in the Gremory castle. She was dragged into our battle in the artificial dimension the other day, but she is a guest. We can’t have her getting involved in our battles. We and Ravel-san understand that, although she seemed very upset that she wouldn’t be of use to us and she still accepted our thoughts. We appeared at the tallest building in the district when we arrived from the magic circle. Now, we have to catch up to the Sitri group. Then someone calls out to us. “E-Everyone! I-I’m glad!”
It’s Gasper-kun! “People from the Fallen Angel group told me that everyone would come here, but I was lonely because no one was here!”
Gasper-kun has teary eyes. We are finally reunited with him. The only one left is Ise-kun! When he returns, the Gremory group will be resurrected once again! “Gasper, I’m looking forward to seeing the results of your training!”
Buchou says that to Gasper-kun, but…….his eyes seem dark and the colour of his face isn’t that good. “……Y-Yes. I will do my best to live up to your expectations……. Umm? Where is Ise-senpai?”
Gasper-kun looks around trying to find Ise-kun. …….Did he not receive the information about Ise-kun? “Ise-kun is…..”
It happens as I was about to give him the details. “…..Over there!”
Koneko-chan points in a certain direction. When we look, we see a huge black Dragon wrapped in black flames rampaging. –That’s Saji-kun! We fly up into the sky after seeing that. We arrive at the location where we saw Saji-kun in his Dragon-King form. It has lots of tall buildings and we are at the road. This place is surrounded by flames where buildings and roads are destroyed. ……I can see the town that has turned into a sea of fire from up in the air. It’s fortunate that we don’t sense any presences around. There are no cars moving on the roads and there is no one walking either. It seems most of the evacuation here is finished. “Gremory group!”
I hear a familiar voice and when I turn around, I see the girls from the Sitri group protecting a bus that has lost one of its wheels. –There are many children inside the car. “How is the situation?”
Buchou asks the “Knight”, Meguri-san, from the Sitri group. “We encountered the Hero faction while we were travelling on this road….. They began to attack us immediately after they found out we were the Sitri group. The bus received minor damage which stopped it from moving so we could only fight back…… And Kaichou, Fukukaichou, and Gen-chan have……. !”
Meguri-san says it with a voice mixed with a cry. …….What happened to Saji-kun!? “Look at that!”
Rossweisse-san points to the direction to the right. We then see Saji-kun getting his throat grabbed by the huge man from the Hero faction, Heracles, on a street where there are many shops! Saji-kun’s body is covered in blood and it seems like he is about to lose consciousness. We also see Sona-kaichou who is on the ground and Shinra-fukukaichou who is fighting against Jeanne. Heracles throws Saji-kun away after finding him boring, and then steps on Sona-kaichou's back who is laying on the ground. “Guu!”
Sona-kaichou screams! …..To step on a woman who is on the ground….! What an unforgivable action! Heracles laughs loudly. “What is this? I was expecting more because you won the Rating Game match against the Arch-Duke, Agares. Is this it?”
“Don’t speak nonsense! You just focused your aim on the bus filled with children! Kaichou and Saji couldn’t give their all because they were protecting them! You are the one who made them do that!”
Shinra-fukukaichou says it with anger while crying. Her expression is that of anger and frustration. For Shinra-fukukaichou to show such expressions……. She must be really frustrated. And the reason for that is because Heracles aimed at the bus filled with children….? He attacked Kaichou and Saji-kun with such cowardly attacks…..! I was filled with anger after hearing of such a cowardly act. …….If Ise-kun heard that, he would go and hit Heracles without any moment to spare. …….The only enemies here are Heracles and Jeanne. I don’t see Cao Cao or Georg anywhere. Are they acting separately? Jeanne makes a sigh after pushing back Shinra-fukukaichou with a holy-sword. “I did tell him that he shouldn’t, you know? Though I didn’t stop Heracles at all!”
Jeanne creates countless holy-swords on the ground in order to destroy Fukukaichou’s footpath! Jeanne attacks Fukukaichou with her sword who then loses her balance! I run to her immediately! I close my distance and block her strike with Gram. “Can you stop already?”
I say it with a low voice.
