Flashes suddenly spread out in front of my eyes! Owah! What!? This new school building seemed to be subtly shaking…
“We’re under fire. In any era where a power tried to form peace with other powers, there will also be a gathering of those who dislike it and try to disturb it.”
Azazel pointed outside. When I turned my eyes in the direction he pointed, there were human-like silhouettes that had arrived in the school yard and in the air. Looking closely, these mage-like guys dressed in black robes seemed to be firing attacks at us that were similar to magic bullets. Luckily, these attacks didn’t look to be doing any damage to the new school building. But, I also couldn’t see any sign of the attack relenting. Are those the terrorists? What was their goal…Rather, it was obviously to interfere with this meeting, right? Azazel, who was standing next to me before I noticed, gave a fearless smile. “Those guys are so-called magicians. It’s a kind of magic that was originally interpreted from the magic system of devils by the legendary magician “Merlin Ambrosius” and reconstructed as sorcery…From the power of the magic they’re emitting, I’d guess that they each possess the magic power of a mid-class devil.”
So it’s a fact that those guys in the school yard are stronger than the weak me! There’s a lot! “In short, it means that humans can use powers like those of devils. Though, of course, it also seems to be possible that they can’t become devils themselves. It’s especially troublesome when a Sacred Gear possessor learns magic. Well, their attacks aren’t capable of damaging this school building. Because the strongest protective barrier by me, Sirzechs, and Michael is enveloping this place. Though, thanks to that, we can’t leave here.”
This Governor knew a lot of things. It was natural for him to be a person at the top, but he was also able to explain things in plain words, too. “T-Then, what about when time seemed to stop before?”
“Most likely, they used a Sacred Gear or magic that transfers power on the half-vampire kid’s Sacred Gear and forcefully made it go into Balance Breaker state. It’s only a temporary Balance Breaker state, even then, to think that it even affects people present in the interior of objects outside the field of vision…So that half-vampire’s potential ability was this high. Well, it seems that he lacks the output to stop us top-position guys, though.”
No way! Then, Gasper who was in the clubroom in the old school building has been captured and is being used? “But, they transferred power? There are other Sacred Gears with that kind of ability?”
“Boosted Gear combines together both the nearly endless doubling ability and the transfer ability. There exist independent Sacred Gears with either of these respective powers. The doubling Sacred Gear and transfer Sacred Gear. All the Longinus are just a combination of one ability with another. Essentially, they combine powerful abilities that aren’t supposed to be combined. “Maybe the [Longinus] are born because of a kind of bug, errors in the [Sacred Gear program] constructed by God”, that’s one of the opinions of us 'Grigori'. If I had to say it in an easy-to-understand way to you, it’s a fact that there are other powers that can transfer.”
Thank you very much for your rather easy-to-understand explanation! —Or rather, so Gasper is being used like I thought!? Buchou came to my side. “Gasper has been made into a terrorist weapon at the old school building…Just where did they get information on my servant…Moreover, for them to use his power to go after this important meeting…! Never have I been so insulted like this!”
Oooh! Onee-sama was making a red aura gush out from her entire body! S-Scary! “By the way, the armies of the fallen angels, angels and devils outside of this school building all seem to be stopped as well. Geez, Rias Gremory’s family is just dreadful.”
Azazel put a hand on Buchou’s shoulder with a tap, but Buchou mercilessly brushed the hand away. His hand pushed away, Azazel turned that hand to the window with a sigh. Then, a countless number of spears of light appeared in the sky outside—. Baa! The spears of lights rained down all at once at the same time as Azazel lowered his hand, and they were showered down upon the magicians. The terrorists also made protective barriers, but they went through without any trouble and the magicians were eradicated! Uwah! Incredibleeeeeeeeeee! In an instant! The magicians’ countless stiff corpses scattered about the school grounds! It suddenly turned into a gruesome scene! Or rather, he’s seriously strong, this Governor! Is he a one-hit annihilation monster!? He finished it all with a single act without seeming to make any particular preparation!? “This school is enveloped in a barrier. But, despite this, they appeared within the barrier. There must be a transfer-use magic circle or a person connecting with a gate to the inside of the premises. Either way, if they increase the effect of [Forbidden Balor View] any more than this, there’s a concern that they’ll be able to stop even people like us too. By stopping us here with their fierce attack, they intend to annihilate each school building the instant our time is stopped. They seem to be using considerable military power.”
Preceding Azazel’s gaze, magic circles appeared at various places in the school grounds, and started shining ominously. From the magic circles appeared forms that were the same as the magician group that Azazel had defeated just now. Or rather, they were magicians just like before!? There were more appearing!? There were a lot of them still appearing! “It’s a repeat from just now. They’ll keep appearing even as we knock and knock them down. However, even if the timing and terrorist technique is good, it may be that they have a knowledgeable person who has inside information. Is there unexpectedly a traitor here?”
Azazel said something shocking. A traitor? Please don’t say such a scary thing. “Can’t we escape from here?”
Azazel shook his head at my question. “We can’t escape. As long as the barrier enclosing the entire school isn’t dissolved, we can’t go outside. But, if the barrier is dissolved, damage may be taken in the human world. We have to wait for the enemy boss to appear. If we shut ourselves in here for a while, they’ll get tired of waiting and show their face. I’d like to know who the mastermind is quickly. Besides, if we go out and rampage imprudently, we may just do exactly as the enemy wishes.”
H-How composed. So we just need to wait until the enemy shows their true form! “That said, we leaders can’t move while making preparations. However, our first goal is to take back Gasper from the old school building which has become the terrorists’ base.”
And so says Sirzechs-sama. I see, so the present situation has made him (Gasper) to return to being the number one dangerous person? If we fall under fire while the top Maou-samas are time-stopped, it’ll be serious! “Onii-sama, I’ll go.
