“Ise!” “Ise-kun!”
Xenovia and Irina although wounded, still picked up their holy swords, and faced Rizevim! “Durandal and Hauteclaire! Ah, being attacked by these two swords makes me feel nostalgic! When there was Excalibur, that really was…really fun ♪”
Rizevim moved his body sideways slightly, and evaded the fierce slashes of the sword duo! Just how contemptuous is the devil’s son! His light movements are far better than mine! “Just need to land one hit…!”
With blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, Xenovia was still slashing at high speed, with an incredible destructive power! Although she occasionally used the mimicry ability, she was also predicting and avoiding the enemy! Eventually, it changed into a blade in the shape of a whip which was stopped by his bare hands. Xenovia was pulled closer then took a kick to the stomach! “Uh ah…!”
Taking the impact of the kick, Xenovia was sent flying a far distance! “Xenovia! How dare you!”
Irina increased the holy aura output of Hauteclaire, and slashed it down towards Rizevim. However, reaching his hand, it became nothing. “To be honest, your technique isn’t bad. Really. In order to defeat Yamato-no-Orochi, you expended too much energy though. But, even if you didn’t it’s not enough.”
After Rizevim said so, he snatched the holy sword from Irina’s hands, then thrust his hand into her abdomen. “…Ha ha!”
Irina, like Xenovia was sent flying with a sudden kick. “……How did it come to this.”
Because of the effect of the poison, all Irina’s father could do was watch as all this happened. I also want to get back up, and face him—
“Hey, I’m behind you.”
He was right behind me! Light generated by magic was gathering behind me! With a loud booming noise, I was blasted by it completely, and collapsed…
“…Nghhm”
…My armour was destroyed, and my consciousness was fading…! I was face down on the floor…this is bad, clearly getting this kind of injury should be painful, but it was dull…and slow. Probably because of my excessive blood loss, my limbs were all numb… I lay on the floor. In my blurred vision, I could only see Rizevim gradually approaching Asia. “How should I address this lady? Do you want to play with this old man?”
Rizevim continued to get closer. In front of Asia — a Gold Dragon blocked his way. “—Asia-chan, I’m here to protect you.”
“Oh yeah, a Dragon King. You stand in my way? That’s very interesting. Do you need to play a game with me?”
Rizevim chanted a magic spell against Fafnir. Fafnir didn’t even bat an eyelid, stood in front of Asia, and took the attack head on. The dragon king took a direct hit. Even if he had tough skin, used as a shield, it was spewing fresh blood. Asia immediately began treating his wound. Perhaps Fafnir thought that acting as a shield was interesting, as Rizevim continuously fired magic bullets! Fafnir knew that Asia was behind him, so retreating wasn’t an option, and he took all the attacks head on. …The Dragon King’s body was smoking. Almost his whole body had been burned by Rizevim’s magic. Rizevim’s shots became smaller, but they increased in frequency. Taking even one hit, most people would be severely injured. Even if he is a sturdy Dragon King — Fafnir had taken all of Rizevim’s attacks! Asia got up and ran, she wanted to let herself be the target. But Fafnir used his tail to block her path indicating his refusal. If Asia left Fafnir’s side, that man would happily shoot her down. Fafnir also understood this. In any case, he just needed to protect Asia from all attacks —
“Fafnir-san! Please hurry and escape! If you keep going like this…!”
Asia cried out loud. Even if she’s accepting the protection of this Dragon King, she must be crying on the inside. Fafnir, in his usual tone said
“Never mind, this old dragon, needs to protect Asia-chan.”
Witnessing such a scene, Rizevim laughed uncontrollably
“Hm hahahaha! Truly commendable! For the sake of protecting your female master, this mighty Dragon King would disregard himself! But but, just because I saw this it doesn’t mean I’ll be lenient! In fact this is interesting so I’ll attack even harder!”
The intensity of his magic increased! Fafnir’s entire body — sustained injuries that even Asia could not heal. “Stop! Run! Please!”
No matter how loud Asia cried, Fafnir just said one thing
“To protect, Asia-chan.”
“…Why, do you have to go so far for me…”
Fafnir, while under attack by a barrage of magic bullets said
“…The girl who smiled at me, Asia-chan was the first — so that’s why, I need to protect. This dragon, is willing to devote himself to Asia-chan.”
…… …You actually believed that… …To begin with, you had such determination, to stand in front of Asia… Fafnir’s mouth was dripping with blood, but he continued
“…This dragon, only had a strong and large body, and was more powerful than other dragons. Before he knew it, he had become a Dragon King. He doesn’t have the pride of other dragons. But, to be able to protect a girl — that is definitely, the pride of this Dragon King.”
“…Fafnir-san…”
Asia, hearing this Dragon King’s determination, could only cover her mouth and begin sobbing. “…Please…you don’t have to stand in front of me anymore…”
The Dragon King definitely wouldn’t listen to her. Asia couldn’t take it and pushed aside Fafnir’s tail, and stood in front of Rizevim. Now she was protecting Fafnir. The son of Lucifer laughed as he saw this. “Hehahahaha. You deserve praise. You dare to stand in front of me!”
“…Enough, please stop…! Why, do you have to go so far with these things…?”
“It is simply because I am the son of Satan. If I don’t do bad things then I’ll just be a fake right?”
Asia said with great emotion
“…I, and my friends are a big family, we just want a peaceful life…! Doing such horrible things, will just create hatred, and cause people to get hurt…”
“Mmm Hmm, that’s true. I have to do horrible things. I have to be hated. To cause people to get hurt — so, what about it?”
A “Pwack” sound was clearly heard. He hit Asia. “Ah!”
Asia fell to the ground. This scene…was enough to ignite something in my heart. …This bastard, actually……hit Asia…! …Originally, my strength was already depleted, but I automatically got up! …Dear Asia, was hit. How can I just lie there…! Aarrgh, this bastard, is truly the scum of the scum! — I couldn’t hold back giving this guy a punch yaaarrrrghhh! “Asia!” “…You bastard, you dared to hit Asia…!” “Asia…Damn…!”
Xenovia, I, Irina, everyone who saw Asia in danger had the same look in their eyes! To me, Asia is…an important person! She’s never allowed to get hurt! I got up a bit, Rizevim laughed and said
“Hehahaha, everyone’s face has changed. Oh no, did you favourite character get sent flying? If I keep going, will you get angrier?”
This bastard pointed his hand towards Asia who was lying on the ground! He wants to fire magic! “Stop! You son of a bitch!”
I was fuming…and got up! He hit Asia…my precious family member, how could I lie there! I won’t forgive you! You hurt Asia and her family —!
