“—The solid shield!”
“—The wall that guards us!”
Rossweisse-san and Akeno-san makes a solid guard for us with their defence magic and the trait of a [Rook]! [Guarding, guarding, and more guarding to shield yourselves! But you are too slow!] He shows a swift move unfitting for his huge body size as he howls, so other members besides Sensei and Kiba who have god-speed take his hit and end up getting slammed to the floor and wall many times! “Recover!”
Asia’s healing reaches out to us right away where we avoid danger, but our stamina won’t return even though our wounds get healed. We can see that our mentality and stamina are getting grazed away as we receive his hits. —Long term battle will be a disadvantage for us! As long as we don’t deal a decisive blow to him, he will push us through! He doesn’t even get concerned at his own damage! This guy will keep on standing up unless we completely eliminate his soul! And he will continue to come at us! It seems like we can manage this if Sensei and I become serious…… But there will be a hindrance after this if we don’t reserve our energy. But there’s no point if we end up dead……! I at least want Sensei to go on ahead when he finds the chance……but Grendel makes a cunning attack by breathing out a wide-range fire and swinging his tail at times! “Anyway, I’ll take one of your eyes.”
Sensei, who found an opening, throws his spear of light and it stabs deeply into Grendel’s left eye! [Guo! Oooooooooooo!] Grendel bursts out so much blue blood from one of his eyes! I assumed he would snap by having one of his eyes crushed, but he simply puts on a face filled with ecstasy. [Alright! This is the thing! A brawl to crush each other won’t happen if it doesn’t turn out like this! This is fine; it surely is turning into a battle to kill each other! So don’t regret even if one or two of you die, you shitty braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats!] ……This guy’s switch turned on by receiving damage to his eye! Or rather, I can only think that his attacks have become sharper and his tension rises as he is inflicted with wounds! I sure can’t handle this. A fight like this that is! It happens when I was thinking what move I should take next. “—Thank you. It’s alright now. My technique is completed.”
Rias’s voice reaches us. When I turn around—I witness Rias who has made a giant sphere of destruction. Rias sighs as she walks towards us with the sphere of destruction. “I hate it that there are so many enemies where my attacks won’t work on them. However, I can’t show my miserable side to my own servants, can I? —That’s why I also made one. Something you would call a special move.”
“Everyone, get away! Move back behind Rias!”
Everyone moves away from Grendel at Akeno-san’s voice! We move back behind Rias. “Blow away!”
Rias releases the giant sphere of destruction to the front! The sphere moves slowly. In a velocity where I feel it is slow. But it is showing its power as it simply moves the air since it trims away the floor. [Huh? What the hell is that? It’s fricken slow!] Even Grendel releases an idiotic voice at it. But—, that sphere starts to have crimson and black aura swirl inside it. ……When I’m observing it to see what kind of effect it has, I can tell that Grendel’s body is being pulled little by little by it. He also realises that his body is being pulled by the sphere and tries to resist, but it doesn’t work and his body stumbles making him take a few steps forward. He even tries to resist by getting on his knees……but eventually his whole body moves. [……Guo!? I’m being pulled!? Such power of attraction!] Eventually Grendel gets in contact with the sphere. Then Grendel’s solid black scales—shatter! [Guohooooooooooooooooooooooo!] The Evil Dragon screams. The huge sphere of destruction covers the Evil Dragon’s body without mercy! —! W-Wow! Grendel’s body starts to collapse! [Chii!] Grendel clicks his tongue and tries to flee by expanding his wings, but the Dragon of holy-and-light attacks him! [Gugagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!] Grendel collapses violently. Akeno-san who has her Fallen Angel’s wings spread out puts on a smile of a sadist. “Ara ara, you have to be eliminated here, you know?”
Rias says it while she brushes off her hair. “There has been a change to my demonic-power due to the influence of Ise’s power. —I might as well name it the “Extinguish Star”. It’s a mass of destruction that eliminates all and it doesn’t have anything like attributes or weaknesses. –Blow away!”
The huge sphere of destruction increases its shine and envelops the Evil Dragon. What’s left after the sphere of destruction disappears is—Grendel’s aftermath where he only has half of his head left. It’s terrifying, but Grendel is still alive even when he lost his body! He even has his disgusting smile despite having only half of his head. [……I see. It’s exactly like what that bastard Euclid said. That the demonic-powers carried by the kin of the House of Bael can even trim down the Evil Dragon’s consciousness and soul. This really does work!] Grendel starts to laugh loudly. [Guhahahahaha! This is nothing since I only have to get a brand new body made again! After all, as long as my soul is safe, it’s possible for me to change my body no matter how many times! The Holy Grail sure is a convenient object!] ……Getting a brand new body? Seriously? So he can revive even in this state as long as his soul remains huh……
—! I then realise it. I see, I was also the same. Only my soul remained at the dimensional gap, but I returned with a brand new body. So you are telling me the Holy Grail can do the same feat……
Grendel still shows his fangs and laughs fearlessly despite his state. [But guess what! It might be fun to keep on fighting in this state as weeeeeell! In other words, don’t you reckon the main match will start from here? It might be fun to disappear after biting as many opponents as possible! Guhahahahaha!] […………!] Everyone backs down at seeing Grendel who shows no sign of losing interest in battling. He’s still trying to fight in that condition……! It’s no longer about him being crazy! He isn’t sane! He isn’t normal! Rias stands in front of us and creates a demonic-power of destruction within her hand. “Even we don’t want to fight any longer. It’s better for an evil existence like you to get blown away. With my current power, I should be able to eliminate your soul as well. Even though I won’t be able to eliminate you completely, I should be able to stop you from reviving for a while.”
Rias tries to release the finishing blow—. It happens then. There is one individual who steps into this area—. Everyone notices his presence and pressure so we look that way! ……The man who is clad in black is standing there. —Crom Cruach. The Dragon that is said to be one of the strongest among the Evil Dragons. The man says it as he walks towards us. “—Grendel. Stand back for now.”
Grendel notices the entrance of the man. [—! So it’s you, Boss Crom. Chi! I was thinking how far I can go like this!
