"...Due to anger, your aura has increased. Letting your aura fluctuate due to emotion, did you know that it could bring destruction in certain circumstances? That was the reason you entered the Juggernaut state once." None of your business! Bastard! These guys, they really stick their fingers in too many pies! Crack! At this moment, my armour crumbled! ...What, was this? "Just as you were jumping back, I happened to make a few strikes with the spear. Though there seems to be a delay, it looks like a few simple attacks can wreck the Sekiryuutei's armour." ...Looks like I was attacked without even noticing. Ddraig, I'm sorry, but I leave you with the repairs. [ ...Understood. However, most likely due to the effects of the holy spear, restoring the armour will take time. ] Really. How much does that spear counter me! "A very good attack. Strong. Looks like I may need to raise my Sacred Gear a bit." Cao Cao that bastard, looking so happy... If only a hit landed, I will win. Of course, if that guy gets a hit in, I could very well die too...
Just as I was agonising over how to deal with Cao Cao's holy spear. "Irina!" Asia's sorrowful cries were heard! "Ara? You guys are still going at it?" A woman's voice -- glancing over, it was Jeanne... Carrying the bloody body of Irina in her arms. --Irina. "Well, it is the Sekiryuutei. Should put up a better fight than these guys." Siegfried's voice... Held in his six arms were Kiba and Xenovia all covered in blood as well... Hey, hey...
"If only I got to fight the Sekiryuutei." Huge Heracles threw down something in front of me -- Rossweisse-san, her body dyed red with fresh blood. ...E-Everyone... How can this be...? They've all met such fates...? [ Roar! ] I heard a roar -- Vritra was entangled by the kyuubi's nine tails, and roared out in pain! ...Even Saji...! Cao Cao tapped his shoulder with the spear. "Sorry Sekiryuutei. Looks like this is the end. Strong, you are all very strong. This is already exceptional amongst devils. But this level of power cannot win against us who hold the power of heroes in our hands. Also, for devils, fallen angels, dragons and youkai to be uniting as enemies of humans, isn't that too scary? Wouldn't humans feel threatened? Resisting is only natural. --It is only normal for humans to defeat Maou and dragons. This is the principle behind our actions, we of the Heroes Faction. Well, whether for me or the other members here, that is one of our goals. --Anyway, Georg, how's the magic circle?" The mist user nodded in response to Cao Cao's question. "Still a while, but will Great Red really come?" "Even if it doesn't, we will get data on why it didn't come. We'll try other methods if that happens." "Still, making this all work will mean a heavy price. Are you sure we are doing this at all costs?" "Don't look at me, if possible, of course I want a good result." ...These guys, they've forgotten about us and were now occupied with the matters of the experiment. Jeanne, Siegfried and Heracles left my companions here, and then started talking with Cao Cao. "Everyone!" Asia ran to everyone over here, and began to heal, her tears flowing incessantly. ...In my mind, were the promises we made before coming here. --We will protect Kyoto with our lives. Sensei... I... couldn't do anything... I glanced at Kiba lying on the ground. --Now that Buchou is not here, as substitute, our 'King' is you, Ise-kun. Kiba, though you said that... But I couldn't do anything. "Mother, please wake up! I am Kunou! Kunou is here! Mother!" Kunou cried as she spoke to her mother -- but the kyuubi leader didn't even look at her. --Your mother--Your mother will be saved by us! Did we save anyone? W-We, didn't accomplish anything...! "Xenovia-san! Irina-san!" Asia continued to heal, weeping. ...What was I doing... Why did I become such a pitiful sight... Even though i have restored Boosted Gear Scale Mail, Cao Cao and his group did not even glance at me--
Though they felt we were strong, but they didn't think we were enough of a threat to reverse the current situation. To be viewed like that, even though we tried our best, it was too--
From the very start, to them we were just on the level of entertainment, a side dish for the experiment. This truth brought me great pain...
H-How can I call myself the Sekiryuutei? What Oppai Dragon, what a joke...
... --Unacceptable. My body trembled within the armour, tears of regret streamed down without end... Why was I so weak? Always so powerless at critical times like this. Why was everything always out of reach by that little bit... No matter how hard I tried, there were still so many opponents I cannot catch up to...
Was this my limit...? Why am I...? I knelt on the ground, knocking on the surface with hate and regret. My companions have all been downed by them, and my chances of defeating Cao Cao are... Even just saving Kunou's mother, the chances were... zero. No, I cannot give up! I don't want things to end here! I must continue to fight! ...But, there was no way to win... I regretted it, and the pain filled my heart...
[ Crying? ] --Someone spoke to me from within my body. This voice belonged to--
...Elsha-san? [ Yes, that's right. Why are you crying? ] ...I, feel so regretful... Why am I so weak? ... This is clearly a critical moment, but I failed again...
[ Yes, it is regrettable. But did you forget? The fallen angel governor once mentioned -- you are the embodiment of possibilities! ] At this time, Azazel-sensei's words were awakened in my mind. Yes, it was just before the battle with Loki. --I believe in your possibilities. All the past Sekiryuutei were devoured by power until they died, no exceptions. Perhaps you may be the least talented Sekiryuutei. However, you reached Balance Breaker using female breasts. You returned from a berserk state through female breasts. I feel that someone like you can be described as the embodiment of possibilities>>
...Embodiment of possibilities. Oppai Dragon! Oppai Dragon! Isn't it such a cool name? Has a dragon ever received such a unique title? Though your body and demonic power compares poorly with Vali and other past possessors, but from another perspective, you have your own unique method of using the Sekiryuutei's power to become strong. From now on, it will be fine as long as you work hard and persevere, as well as put in a little thought to discover key techniques.>>
Yes, that is what Sensei told me at the time. I can at least, use my unique way to apply the Sekiryuutei's power...
-- Because I am the Oppai Dragon! [ Yes, now that's more like you. Current Sekiryuutei, Oppai Dragon. The possibility Belzard and I saw! Come, release it all now! Your possibility! ] Shine! A bright light emitted from my shirt pocket. I took it out to have a look, and it was the jewel giving off red light. T-This was...
[ Raise the jewel to the sky, and summon loudly! ] S-Summon? Just as I wondered, Elsha-san announced loudly.
