And it also isn’t a three in one type like Valerie’s as well! Ddraig asks. [……You are telling me your research has advanced that far!? No, it’s impossible. This is an act that even surpasses the power of the God from the Bible!] “Yes, that is correct. I couldn’t possibly make this from nothingness. Except, it will become a different story if I have something that became the base for it.”
Euclid points at me. “Hyoudou Issei. Within the dimensional gap, you met with Great Red and attained its body. Then what happened to your body which became the base for it?”
“……That should have been destroyed!”
Yes, I was told from Ophis that my previous body that was poisoned by Samael’s poison became the base of my new body that is made from Great Red’s flesh. Euclid then says. “……What if even a fraction of your flesh was left behind? What if we collect that and salvaged both the information of the Sekiryuutei's soul and the Sacred Gear by using the Holy Grail?”
………………He must be joking. […………!!] Even Ddraig seems like he’s speechless. Euclid continues to tell us who can’t say anything. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t copy Ddraig’s soul. However, it became possible to make this replica armour. Except, it became necessary to use several famous Dragons’ souls in order to use this Sacred Gear each time. Due to it being powerful, the cost for it became the worst.”
The armour that Euclid is wearing has different designs in certain parts compared to mine. Except, when you look at it from any direction, it’s the Boosted Gear Scale-mail! “—Now then, let’s have a battle between the Sekiryuuteis.”
Euclid makes his stance. “Stop messing with me!”
I fly forward! There’s no way I will lose against the replica! I can’t be allowed to lose! [Solid Impact Booster!!!!] I then went to hit Euclid with the thick right arm of mine! The moment of impact—. [BoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoost]
That sound echoes from Euclid’s replica Sacred Gear and his aura increases dramatically! ……Euclid blocks my Solid Impact head on. The shockwave of my attack sways away the snow around us for a moment, but it seems like Euclid hasn’t received that much damage from it. Euclid then looks at my armour with keen eyes. “Hmm, so this is what the crimson armour looks like up-close. I sure can’t make it appear like that—”
—! ……Euclid’s fist thrusts into my stomach. An attack which breaks through my armour where it even reaches my flesh…… I……spit out the blood which came up to my throat. Shit……are you telling me he’s using the power of the Sekiryuutei better than me……? Euclid says it as my body bends in mid-air due to the intense pain. “I have never once thought my power lacks even when compared to my sister Grayfia. —It does prove that the stronger the possessor of the Boosted Gear Scale-mail, the more will be the increase in power.”
……So this is the difference in power between us……
……Grayfia-san is the strongest [Queen] whose strength is said to be at the level of a Maou. And a Devil with equal strength to her is wearing the Boosted Gear Scale-mail……
……Even though I’m wearing the armour form which has evolved……
“This can’t be happening!”
I fly forward once again and release my strike at Euclid! However, all of my attacks get dodged, and he attacks me back with a counter! “Damn!”
[Star Sonic Booster!!!] I close the distance with him right away, but he even dodges that attack as if he knew it was coming and I end up receiving a demonic-power attack to my back! My breath almost stops due to the impact……! ……Then how about this!? I make the cannons appear from both my wings, I then aim for my target after I finish charging it! “Crimson Blasteeeeeeeeeeeer!”
[Fang Blast Booster!!!] My special attack! You won’t be able to endure it if you receive it head on, unless some miracle happens! And this time, it is the sky which is spacious unlike the small corridor where I had used it before; I have both the right and the left cannon active! A huge crimson aura gets released from the cannon! He puts both his hands forward. [BoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoost]
A large sound echoes from his replica Sacred Gear once again, and his demonic-power increases immediately ! “—Dragon Shot, was it?”
After he says that, he releases an aura that is a mixture of red and silver colour! The two enormous auras collide high up in the sky of the castle town! A huge explosive sound echoes throughout the surrounding, and it causes a huge explosion up in the air! After the cannon stops—what appears in front of me is Euclid who seems to be fine. ……My Crimson Blaster was nullified by being hit with an increased wave of demonic-power……! I am in shock at this outcome. ……Can I even allow such a thing to happen……? For me who is wearing the crimson armour to have an equal attack power against the demonic-power that was shot from the replica……
Despite him being in a regular Balance Breaker state, will there be this much difference simply due to having a different possessor……? Even if that happens to be a replica……no, since my opponent is the one with replica, I……
I can’t hide my agitation……then Ddraig shouts. [Stand up, partner. We simply can’t lose against this. After all, he is my, no, he is our imposter! The Two Heavenly Dragons are enough with just me and Albion!] His voice carried intense rage and fearless confidence. [No! Hyoudou Issei and I are the Sekiryuutei! We are enough with just uuuuuus!] —! Ddraig’s shout. I……I…… Yeah. He’s right. I, no, we came this far together while going through many hard battles. We have survived till now! We……went through such situations together! I then say it out loud while I put my left arm forward. “I……am the Sekiryuutei! Hyoudou Issei the Sekiryuutei who fought together with Ddraig! Ddraig and I can’t accept to lose against a fake!”
Ddraig continues after me who is shouting. [That’s right! There is no way an imposter like you can understand us the Two Heavenly Dragons that are suffering due to breasts and butts! I was finally able to have an understanding with Albion! So there is no way a Heavenly Dragon besides us two is allowed to exist!] Ddraig shouts while showing off……but do any of the things he just said have anything to do with this situation!? I say that inside myself—but suddenly, a change occurs to my armour. —All of the jewels located on my armour give out a silver light! T-This kind of phenomenon never happened before. The silver light, something that looks like Vali’s Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive—. It happens while I am thinking. A really bright light engulfs my body. After the light diminishes, something appears from each of the jewels! A small white object starts to fly out from it! “Ddraig, a white thing appeared from the jewels!”
When I say that due to the shock, Ddraig also tells me with a shocked voice. [Yeah, I’m also shocked right now. The moment I spit out what was in my mind just before, Albion’s thoughts flowed into me.
