They need to survive for the children that will attend this school! I then hear Asia’s desperate voice through device. [I’m sorry, Ise-san! Other people were also injured……please hold a bit longer!] ……When I look around, I can hear lots of explosion, impact, and earth tremoring from afar. Everyone is defending this place desperately…… Everyone is standing up even if they are injured……! ……If I’m the only one being caught in a barrier without being able to do anything……I won’t be able to look at everyone else in their faces! I then prepare for shooting Crimson Blaster once again! Ladon simply laughs fearlessly. [I see, so you will shoot it once more? Very well. Then I shall take you on once again. Though it would be the same result!] Stop saying rubbish! —But, the mass-produced Evil Dragons are gathering while we are doing this, so the four of us and the dads have been completely surrounded. ……Even if I’m able to breakthrough here and escape, Saji and the dads…… I’m not sure whether they will survive! ……Anyone, anyone is fine. There will be a chance if someone comes to our aid! “……I must use it here!”
Koneko-chan becomes determined and is charging her ki. She must be planning to use “Shirone mode”. That’s her last resort. If she uses that, there’s a chance that she will faint. A situation where we find ourselves helpless. The situation of the battle here is getting worse. It happens when I was biting my teeth hard due to the frustration—. One of the Evil Dragons surrounding us jumps up high. No, that’s wrong. I become dubious at the way it jumped unnaturally. That Evil Dragon wasn’t the only one that did a weird jump. They start to get pushed up one after another. Yes, I find myself in a situation where the giant Evil Dragons are getting thrown up to the sky. Such strange phenomenon is approaching me. What appears in my sight—is a very dense touki. I finally understand. The mass-produced Evil Dragons were punched up to the air. That person. That man. He opens the path by blowing away the giant Evil Dragons with his fist only……! That man appears manly while he beats the Evil Dragons. While having a golden lion accompany him—. Sairaorg Bael appears as he defeats the Evil Dragons……! Grendel laughs seeing that. [Oioioi, who’s that bastard that’s smashing the Evil Dragon grunts?] Ladon answers. [He’s most likely Sairaorg Bael of the House of the Great King. I hear that he had poor demonic-power since birth. Apparently he fought equally with the Sekiryuutei over there, only with his bare hands.] While piling up the Evil Dragons he defeated, Sairaorg-san arrives to our place. “—Looks like I made it just in time.”
I man cry at his words. “Sairaorg-san……!”
“Yeah, I’m sorry for arriving late. We are at advantage at the battle up at Agreas. So they sent me here. I came here by force using my touki to go past the Holy Cross’s flames.”
I see, so they are at advantage up there! My spirits build up simply by hearing that! No, thanks to this man coming here, I……! Sairaorg-san directs his fighting spirit towards Grendel and Ladon. “I hear that you are after that school.”
Everyone here including myself devoted ourselves to protect this town and school. —But this man is showing more battle spirits than all of us. The Devil called Sairaorg Bael is right here who is glaring at the Evil Dragons, Grendel and Ladon—. “I won’t allow you……! —I will have you die, Evil Dragons!”
Our counterattack starts here! Sairaorg-san who is facing Grendel. Grendel laughs fearlessly. No, he’s building up his tension in joy. [Guhahahaha! I heard that there is a Great King Bael who swings his fist like an idiot, so were they speaking truthfully?] “Evil Dragon Grendel. I have heard about you. I heard that you are an evil spirit that enjoys even death.”
[Guhahaha! I never thought the Great King of Devils would call me an evil spirit! I don’t care about such things. The problem is whether you can fight me or not!] Sairaorg-san says this to Grendel who has evil aura coming out from his body. “—Then come at me.”
The giant Evil Dragon’s fist gets released towards Sairaorg-san! He came head on! Sairaorg-san doesn’t dodge but takes it on purpose! His body that is covered in touki is more than tough since he has iron-like defence, so he even endures Grendel’s powerful hit! The man, Sairaorg-san, then strikes back! “Hmph!”
Sairaorg-san who has jumped up releases his punch which is covered in touki towards Grendel’s face! The impact and shock created by the collision vibrates the air violently. While having blue blood come out of his mouth, Grendel laughs as if he’s seriously happy. [Oho♪. ……Seriously. I never thought there was a Devil who fights with his body only and uses hand-to-hand combat……! And he even manages to hit me back……!] Grendel who is shaking in joy yells at Ladon. [—Ladon! I’ll take this guy. Yeah, let me. This guy is a shitty Devil that I will have major fun to toy with! Who besides me will blow this guy away!?] Grendel directs his will to fight towards Sairaorg-san. Ladon shakes his head in astonishment—. But a communication-type magic-circle appears around the ears of the two Evil Dragons. Devil symbols appear on it, and it seems like it’s telling them something. ……From the looks of it, I’m guessing that Euclid is giving orders to those two. [I will have myself fight here! It has just become gooooood!] Looks like Grendel is arguing back to the one he’s talking to. Then Ladon sighs. The barrier around me suddenly disappears. This is what Ladon says with an unpleasant voice. [……Very well. I will head there then.] Saying that, Ladon makes a teleportation magic-circle, the Dragon Gate, appear below his feet—. After looking at me once, he disappears within the light after saying “So then, farewell”. ……He ran away? No, did he go to Agreas? I heard that the Devils have an advantage over there. He may have been summoned as reinforcement. It seems like they called Grendel as well, but I guess he probably declined…… Grendel remained here solely to fight us. I became free so I moved next to Sairaorg-san and say to him. “He’s an opponent who will be too much for you to handle alone, Sairaorg-san!”
Sairaorg-san nods. “Yeah, I understood that while we exchanged a punch. —But it’s a different story if I were to team up with you, right?”
—! ……My body shakes from the bottom of my heart at those words. My body is getting heated with excitement. There’s no way I can say no if this man says this to me! —Oh man. I can team up with this man and fight! The feeling of joy swirls inside my body and it builds up my battling spirits! “Yes, I’m honoured. Let’s beat this persistent Evil Dragon together!”
“Fufufu, you sure know the right words to say it. This is a good start to wear the lion’s cloth.”
Sairaorg-san stands next to the golden lion, Regulus. He then says it as he points at Grendel! “—Evil Dragon Grendel, I determine you as a sworn enemy of the Underworld! Reguluuuuuus!”
[Yes sir!]
