[It would be better to say that your mental weakness actually brought you here.] [Mental strength like that of tofu!] [All you’ve got is an arrogant attitude!] Right after the middle head spoke, the heads on the left and right sides began to mock Rizevim. In the face of the two Evil Dragons who were renowned and powerful, Rizevim smiled wryly again. “……Well if it isn’t Apophis-kun and Aži Dahāka-kun.”
Upon seeing Rizevim’s injuries, Aži Dahāka ridiculed him with even more pleasure. [Ah—, Rize. You don’t look too bad as a salty plum right now.] [You really look magnificent ☆]
[Ha serves you right!] Aži Dahāka’s attitude caused Rizevim’s anger to flare up. But, it was interrupted from the side by Apophis. Sorry, Prince Rizevim. Despite a lot of your care…it ends here. —From here on, allow us to act on our own.>>
Apophis extended one hand forward, and then created a magic circle. A certain object then appeared from the centre of it. —A single cup, it was Valerie’s Holy Grail. I’ll be taking this away with me.>>
“…The Holy Grail huh. I was hiding that in my own dimensional space…you guys asked about that before but now this is how it is.”
Aži Dahāka ‘kukuku’ laughed. [That’s fine. As long as it’s within the scope of magic, I’m better when compared to you.] [I’m very good at powerful magic yo ☆]
[You second-rate Maou! Third-rate Maou!] …That bastard Rizevim, he was being betrayed at such a time. These guys, did they believe that Rizevim was likely to fail in the near future, and were wondering when to rebel? Thus, they took aim at this opportunity, and also took the Holy Grail. As if in response to my deductions, Apophis said
As a result of Fafnir’s curse, you experienced nightmares every night. Those dark circles around your eyes are too severe. In order to strengthen Lilith, you eventually became too anxious about preparing the plans for implementation. Even if you are known as a Super Devil, comparing you to the other two Super Devils, the difference is more than just one or two points.>>
“……You really know how to talk, Evil Dragon.”
Rizevim aggressively retorted. …I finally understood. It was that; that bastard Rizevim was suffering from Fafnir’s curse. That Dragon King, in the final moments before he lost consciousness, he turned his own spirit into a curse, and sent it into Rizevim. Moreover, Fafnir’s spiritual body appeared in Rizevim’s dreams every night, and he repeatedly attacked him in his dreams. Rizevim’s dark eye circles were caused by the attacks of Fafnir every night—. So that was the reason why he targeted Ophis. In order to defeat Fafnir, he planned to strengthen Lilith. Aži Dahāka’s mockery of Rizevim intensified even further. [Super Devil-sama had no resistance in his dreams, so hundreds and thousands of times over and over he was killed by that golden guy.] [He was completely unable to transcendin his dreams!] [He simply couldn’t release the curse within his dreams!] Apophis sighed. And because he himself was being tormented, it caused him to become the stumbling block of his own plan; one can imagine the degree of his mental strength. It’s a fact that the curse was too strong for him. After all, he made a move against many unnecessary things.>>
It really suited his style, everything that he said was correct. After inciting so many people, in the end he shot himself in the foot. And he was also hunted down and cornered mentally. This lead to a series of mistakes occurring, which were really self-inflicted. This was the result of underestimating the opponent too much. Having been mocked utterly by these two Evil Dragons, Rizevim was trembling with anger. I ignored Rizevim, and said to the two Evil Dragons
“Do you think you could give that, the Holy Grail to me, Apophis, Aži Dahāka?”
Naturally that is impossible, leader of the Fallen Angels. We are also quite interested in attacking another world.>>
—What! …How could this? I only considered what Rizevim was thinking, and I didn’t think that these guys would be so interested in another world! After Apophis spoke, Aži Dahāka continued
[Going to fight the god of another world is very interesting.] [It’s so very exciting ☆]
[I really want to take a look at a world that’s never been seen!] Only their objective was the same. But, they had now severed their ties with Rizevim. In this case though, it’s still a troublesome matter. The thought of these powerful dragons recklessly using the Holy Grail was terrifying. Suddenly, Apophis turned his eyes towards the corridor. He continued to stare at the dark and silent corridor, and then made a slight smile. …It seems that a person has come for your soul. So goodbye for now, son of the Maou. It’ll be good if you die without any worries.>>
An illumination of light appeared beneath the feet of Apophis and Aži Dahāka, and the Dragon Gate opened once again. [However, we will inherit your vision.] [Bye bye!] [Have a miserable death!] Leaving these words behind, Apophis and Aži Dahāka transported themselves away from here along with a black coloured aura—. Just after the two ferocious Evil Dragons had left, a flash of silver light like the slash of a sword appeared in the depths of the corridor, and drew near. Flying down into this vast space was — Vali, whose entire body was encased in pure white armour. “The aura I felt just now was Aži Dahāka. —It seems that the Evil Dragons that you revived dislike you.”
He said that as he stood in front of Rizevim. Rizevim could only smile wryly at the advent of his grandson. “—Now it’s time for Vali-kun’s appearance.”
“That three-headed Evil Dragon and Crom Cruach aren’t people who can be controlled by someone of your calibre, you’re still too naïve. —You can never underestimate Dragons, Rizevim.”
Vali stretched out his right hand, and gathered a great and dangerous amount of aura in it. Seeing this, Rizevim began to smile apologetically. “Ah wait, Vali-kun, I was wrong…you see, I’m your grandfather aren’t I? Have a little mercy on me.”
Due to his current injuries, he realised that he was unable to hold up against the power of Vali. At that moment, that bastard began to get nervous. —But. “……”
Vali quietly exhaled, and then began chanting the words to unleash his power. “I, who is about to awaken — am the Hakuryuukou who will take the law down to the darkness—”
The space we were in began to shake violently. An enormous amount of aura was being released from Vali’s body. The pure white armour gradually changed into brilliant silver, and its shape also changed. Vali only had one response — to recite the chant for [Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive]. Although both physical and demonic energy would be consumed immensely, the power obtained could easily kill even one of the most powerful Grim Reapers of legend. —It was a formidable power which could even make the killing of a god possible. Seeing this scene, Rizevim’s eyes widened, and he continued to try persuading Vali.
