We, the House of Phoenix, will be pursing what they are trying to do with these “fake” Phoenix tears! In addition, things like those capsules may be floating within the dimensional gap after the destruction of that field. Also Sona-sama and I put a marking on them with our demonic-powers at the very end, so if they are still safe, then I’m sure they can find it by relying on the demonic-powers of the Sitri and I. I have informed the research team of the Underworld about this. Even if it takes time, we will retrieve as much information about them as we can. ––I will make them realise that it’s the end of their luck by capturing me!”
So those small magic-circles that Ravel and Sona-kaichou released at the end had the role of acting as a marking huh. This girl and Sona-kaichou sure are shrewd! The Khaos Brigade and the “stray” magicians still don’t know about this. This girl is the immortal Phoenix––. Even her mentality is getting stronger just like her immortality––. Looks like having captured Ravel will return back to them big time. After a while, Raiser shows up. “Ravel! Are you okay!? It took me some time coming here, but I came to aid all of you while bringing my servants and……eh, what!? I-It already ended! ?”
It seems like he was worried about Ravel after hearing the report. Man, Ravel sure has a good brother! The territory of the Vampires. I, Azazel, have entered there. We borrowed a car when we arrived in Romania, and are progressing through the mountain road. The road without any surface is bumpy, and the car has jumped several times. The fog is quite thick. We did receive a map from the Vampire who belongs to the Carmilla’s faction just in case. It’s planned for me to separate from Rias and Kiba who are also riding in the car with me. I will be going to Carmilla. Rias and Kiba will be going to the House of Tepes. We will be moving there together, and I will join back with them after talking to Carmilla. I hope it doesn’t turn into a situation where we have to call Ise and the others……
Now then, I wonder what Asia is doing with Fafnir, whom she is looking after. Even if Ophis acted as the mediator, her talent to make a pact with monsters—no, Dragons and make them obey her is terrifying. ……Rasse, Ophis, and Fafnir. I can only think that she was born with something which allows her to grasp hold of Dragons. It may have been unavoidable for her to meet Ise as soon as she entered Japan. ——Then, I witness Rias who is thinking about something in the mirror. I speak to Rias who is sitting in the back seat. “Are you worried about your boyfriend whom you left in Japan?”
“……I would be lying if I say that I’m not. He……no, those girls who love him have a more daring approach than me.”
“It seems like your husband will bring more storms from now on as well.”
“I am prepared. But, since I decided to love that person, I will accept everything.”
I tease her, but Rias answers normally. Oho, your dignity as the legal wife sure is showing up. She doesn’t panic even if I say the word husband. There is no doubt. They are a husband and wife that look good together like the people around them say. “……Looks like we will be arriving at the area where the local staff from the Vampire’s side are waiting for us.”
Kiba who is sitting in the passenger seat has the map opened, and is staring at the compass used by Devils. Rias then asks. “What happened to Cao Cao? You did receive a call yesterday, correct?”
Ah, that. I received the report of the aftermath from that bastard Śakra. “It seems like Indra punished all of the Longinus possessors from the Hero-faction. That includes Cao Cao, Georg, and Leonardo. But according to Indra, he confiscated the spear, and sent those three to Hades.”
Though, he didn’t hand us the holy-spear. That bastard Śakra is probably in possession of Dimension Lost and Annihilation Maker. It will make him look like the one who finished off the Hero-faction. Even though he lent his strength to them. He used them to the very end, and he attained a reason for being in possession of the Longinus. [It can’t be helped for Śakra who punished the Hero-faction to be in possession of the Longinus for a temporary time.] He attained a very good excuse. So we are in a situation where it’s hard for us to complain. Heracles and Jeanne that we captured have given up their connection with Śakra……but I wonder how deep they are connected with that cunning Śakra. ……Damn, the one who defeated them are the young Devils, you know? He stole the good parts at the very end! “……For him who was aiming to become the poison against supernatural beings.”
Kiba mutters. Indra’s voice comes back to my mind. He did speak about Cao Cao. [HAHAHA, that brat moved around without thinking about what he wanted to become, that’s why he failed. If he wanted to become strong as a human, then he shouldn’t have relied on Medusa’s eye. Since he spoke of being a hero while being half-assed that made him fail. As the result, that eye became fatal. Laughable, right? Laugh at him. At the end, he turned into a clown.] Yeah, if he had continued to fight as a simple human, then the holy-spear would have lent its strength to his will. So it ended for him because the “The will of the God from the Bible” determined that “Rather than the ambition of the host, the dream of the Sekiryuutei who is a Devil and a Dragon is better” huh. [——The ones who will hunt monsters, are human heroes. So there’s nothing that the shitty brat who went beyond a human to become a snob can do.] Regarding that, I agree. Having Indra say that is the end for him. But, just like Ise, there was a young-side to Cao Cao. Wanting to become someone is the part of being young. And isn’t the one who put such ambition in that youth of wanting to become a hero you, aye Śakra-sama? Śakra said this to me after that. [Well, to me, the “Oppai Dragon” who is a Devil and is calling himself a hero is also quite a clown, you know? What’s the point of a Devil being a hero? Isn’t it the desire of the Devils to deceive humans and control them from the shadows? No matter how much he lives on by saying innocent things, the group of those young Devils on your side are also evil and vicious “Devils” that live on by using humans, you know? No matter how far he goes, he is still far off from being a real hero. ––It’s just child's play.] ……I won’t deny all of that. But the Devils, ––the Underworld is changing as well. That’s why they were about to collapse if they continued to have the old structure of the world of Devils. ……But forcing him to become a hero, huh. Was I doing the same as well……? Rias then asks. “What is Śakra trying to do? The God of war who let Cao Cao loose, who taunted Hades indirectly, and who brought chaos to each faction. Azazel, did you ask about his true ambition?”
“Yeah, that guy wants to create people who can oppose the God of destruction, Shiva.
