“…Damn it.”
Ladon was displeased, as he tried to capture the orbs within barriers, but each of the orbs’ special properties prevented him from doing so. The spear shaped orb was able to break the barrier, or perhaps it was the orb which allowed things to escape. Sometimes the orb bounced off the barrier which caused Grendel to be damaged. Grendel seemed to be disturbed by the attack on the barrier and moved away, which created a big opening, where I and my comrades attacked. Ladon simply could not catch Cao Cao. “What’s wrong, Ladon? You can’t even catch a mere human?”
Ladon clicked his tongue in response to Cao Cao’s incitement. The Ladon who was so relaxed before was no more. Cao Cao’s swift movements brushed aside Grendel (C) then continued on towards Ladon. Then he used his holy spear to make continuous strikes. He was fast, yet there was no wasteful movement in his continuous attacks. However, Ladon’s barrier was still protecting him. Although the barrier was still holding back the holy spear’s attacks, for a brief moment, the barrier disappeared…
“Hehe, what a shame. Even though your attacks are so fast, they’re not able to touch me.”
Cao Cao’s expression did not change. He was attacking from all directions. His face…seemed to show a slight grin. I can’t help looking at Cao Cao — their battle was now up in the air. “I won’t let you get in their way!”
Everyone surrounded the evil dragons instead of being “observers” and began helping out. They really are quite reliable. With Grendel still as my opponent, it was time to finish it off. Grendel (B) which was struck by lightning still stood back up, I extracted from it the aura of Gram which was still inside it then used it to raise the power of my sword to prepare for a final attack! I concentrated on controlling its power. …If I get distracted, I could lose control and it could cost me my own life. If I keep doing this, I don’t know when I might die. If it’s for my friends, I would die for them, but today I cannot die no matter what! With the enhanced power of Gram’s aura, I rush towards the enemy. Akeno-san and Rossweisse-san followed me on both sides, and released their attacks upon Grendel (B). Akeno-san’s lightning paralysed Grendel (B) briefly, then Rossweisse-san froze it’s feet, preventing it from moving completely. Now it was my turn — I released the power of Gram’s energy directly at him! Just as I was about to strike Grendel, I removed the holy-demonic sword which had enclosed Gram and swung it down! An ominous aura covered the whole sword, and made a deep cut into him. I then switched to blade blacksmith, summoned an army of dragon knights, and they endlessly assault the evil dragon. After confirming that the evil dragon had been slain by my dragon knights, I clicked my fingers. “—It’s exploding from the inside.”
Gram’s aura which was on Grendel (B) released a large amount of energy! But, thanks to the dragon knights, the dark aura that was contained in Grendel did not leak out. Besides its insides, the dragon killing aura burned the entire body of the evil dragon. Ah, after a cracking noise, the wounds left by the dragon knights gushed out blue blood. This is my most effective technique against evil dragons. Because it seemed like such a brutal attack, I don’t want to give a name to this…but nonetheless it is effective. Grendel’s (B) body split open and it perished immediately. “…Such a powerful attack is unprecedented from Kiba”
Even Rossweisse-san agreed. I…will no longer hesitate if an evil dragon is my opponent, otherwise my comrades may get hurt. This is indeed a brutal war. So, I made a promise with Issei. — That no matter what happens, we will definitely help each other, so we can all live together. To keep this promise, I will use any means to eliminate my enemies, I think about this whenever I’m on the battlefield. However, this was already decided. These Grendel are not as strong as the real Grendel, its defensive ability, its agility and offensive ability are all several levels lower than the original. However, compared to the mass produced evil dragons, they were much stronger. After the defeat of Grendel (B), it looks like the fight against Grendel (A) is nearly finished. OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH >>
Gasper roared as he fiercely bit Grendel’s (A) shoulder, then created a beast from the darkness which went into the body. Of course, with the attack on the dragon’s shoulder and the dark beast inside, it’s body burst open. Grendel’s (A) upper body was blown apart as a result of Gasper’s attack. Gasper’s body was soaked and covered with blue blood but he didn’t mind and kept beating the dragon, Grendel (A) fell to the ground while spitting flames. “The final blow!”
Rias-buchou’s destructive magic and Koneko-chan’s attack go towards Grendel (A)! Grendel A was helpless, and was turned to dust. The Grendel (C) going against Cao Cao had accumulated severe injuries from the holy spear which caused it to kneel down. “Give up”
Akeno-san and Rossweisse-san, after confirmation with each other released another attack. Akeno-san made three dragons with her holy lightning and directed them towards the evil dragon! Rossweisse-san used her magic to tie up the evil dragon with a rope-like aura. Unable to move, Grendel (C) was attacked by three dragons of lightning —. After enormous flashes of lightning and crackling noises, Grendel (C) vanished from the light. The three Grendel were now defeated! Although we had Cao Cao’s support, being able to defeat three legendary evil dragons was quite an accomplishment. I — have become stronger. Cao Cao and Ladon’s battle seemed to be a stalemate, neither side appeared to have damaged each other, but — Cao Cao began smiling. “—There’s an opening, go fly”
Ladon’s enormous body – started floating up all of a sudden, and flew upwards! Based on what just happened, Ladon was quite surprised. This was because an orb was attached to one of Ladon’s legs. It was probably hidden underground in advance, so that when Ladon stepped on it, it would activate causing him to fly up. “Hmm! —This, this is!? An orb which can make others float! ?”
That’s right, it was the orb which had flying abilities. …Though it was unexpected that it could even make opponents fly! Cao Cao laughed
“Didn’t I tell you? Targeting an opponent’s weakness is a hero’s skill, so is deceiving opponents.”
However, even though Ladon was thrown into the air, he had a relaxed expression. “Well, even if I am thrown into the air, my barrier is still active!”
—No, it should stop now. Then, Rias-buchou released some sort of magic from her hands. “Let’s attack together! I’ll start with this”
Following buchou’s orders, everyone launched ranged attacks at the airborne Ladon. I used my holy-demonic swords to fire waves of energy continuously. But, Ladon still had a defensive barrier, thus all our attacks were blocked. Although there were several times when the barrier disappeared…he was still unharmed.
