Just the moment before it touches him—the small girl, Lilith, comes to the front and takes the holy aura head on. Simply by putting her hand forward and swinging it to the side, Durandal’s powerful aura gets reflected! ……To be expected from Ophis’s other half! A half-assed attack won’t even stand a chance! If he has a bodyguard like her with him, what are we supposed to do!? The Sacred Gears won’t work! Other attacks will simply get blocked by Lilith! And Rizevim himself must be a formidable opponent! Rizevim smiles happily as he sees us trying hard to figure out how to retrieve the Holy Grail from him and starts to nod his head. “—Well, let’s stop at this since there is something I want to show all of you.”
Rizevim clicks his finger. Then an image appears within the air of this ritual place. It’s showing the vision of somewhere outside. “Now then, do any of you know where that place is?”
Rizevim asks us as if he’s having fun. A vision of a place with snow falling. You can see something that seems to be a town. ……And you can observe the castle at the centre. Hey, isn’t this—
It seems like there are many of those among our members who share the same opinion as me. “—The castle town of Carmilla’s side?”
When Rias says that, Rizevim makes a big nod with his head. “Exactly, that surely is the Carmilla’s castle town!”
From the vision, we can’t observe any particular change, and the only thing we can see is a town covered in snow……
Rizevim then says it while putting his hand forward. “Now then, what will happen now is something so fun that it should be broadcast live~. If I click my fingers now—”
Rizevim clicks his fingers as he says that. “Something terrible will happen. Are you able to predict it? Destruction? Hmm, very close, but a bit different!”
We stay on alert but we can’t see any major changes in the vision…… Rizevim himself tilts his head and checks the vision several times since nothing is happening. “Just wait a sec. Yup, it should be about now. Oh, look!”
Rizevim points with his finger. —When I look carefully, one after another huge black things begin to fly above the snowy scenery. ……Is that a……Dragon!? A black Dragon! And it’s not just one or two of them! Many black Dragons that are releasing terrible auras start to appear in the Carmilla’s castle town! The old man who is showing an evil smile gets hyped. “Many mysterious black Dragons have appeared in that town! From here on those kids will go wild! Oh, they started breathing out fire already! It sure is wonderful!”
The scenery shown in the vision is—the town that is being attacked by Dragons! How can this be!? Those black Dragons started attacking the Carmilla’s castle town! “What is the meaning of this!? Rizevim! ?”
Azazel-sensei questions him. Rizevim smiles evilly. “It means that there are also Vampires among Carmilla’s side that fell for Tepes’s sweet word—in other words there are those that are craving for a body with no weaknesses. Those Vampires made a pact with us where they passed the Carmilla’s information to us in secret, so we enhanced their bodies. —But this is the important point!”
Rizevim continues as the black Dragons, the herd of Evil Dragons, cover the whole vision behind him. “They had themselves enhanced so much that they come with a special bonus where they will turn into mass-produced Evil Dragons when I simply click my fingers!”
—! ……Then that means the identity of those Evil Dragons is……
“T-Then this vision is……!”
Rizevim continues happily at Rias who gulps down. “—They are the aftermath of the Vampires that take importance in their tradition and blood.”
I-It can’t be! So he modified them into that state while telling those who took their offer as an enhancement!? “Well, they did say that the troubles caused by the Vampires would need to be handled by the Vampires. That’s why I thought it would be better for Vampires to destroy towns of the Vampires~. Well, “former” Vampires that is!”
We can only become speechless at Rizevim’s confession. ……For the Carmilla’s side to be attacked by the Evil Dragons that were formerly Vampires…… Since most of their combatants are out here in order to supress the coup d’état, I’m guessing they don’t have any remarkable force over there, right? And they are the Vampires who detest getting help from outsiders. At this rate, that town will—. To us who can only watch the vision where the snowy town is getting burned with a painful expression, another evil trick gets played on us—. The ground shakes violently. An earthquake……? That’s what everyone thought, but that shake happens again and eventually gets even bigger. It’s not the shake of an earthquake. It’s a shake where I can only think something big happened above here. It must be a huge thing since the shock even came down to this basement……
“W-What is going on! ?”
Rias looks up. Rizevim bangs his hands together as if he just remembered something. “Oh, I forgot to mention this. I’m sorry~. A special bonus gets activated here as well when I click my fingers.”
“—! Wait, this shake can’t be……!”
Rias comes up with an answer to this situation due to Rizevim’s words. Even I start to imagine for the worst! Rizevim says it while putting on a disgusting smile. “Yup, that is it. The enhanced Vampires of the Tepes side also turned into the mass-produced Evil Dragons and are causing havoc in this town due to my signal~♪”
—! I knew it, but this is serious……! This shake……is due to the destruction caused by the Vampires of the coup d’état faction that have now become Evil Dragons! Rizevim makes another vision appear in the air. What appears on it—is the world of Tepes in flames, just like the Carmilla’s castle town. “……How can this be……!”
Sensei has his body shiver in anger. Rizevim simply looks at the vision in joy. “Oh my, they sure are going wild~. It will be but a matter of time until the town is annihilated.”
While we become speechless at seeing the disastrous state of both the Carmilla’s and Tepes’s town, Rizevim click his fingers once again. Then, a gigantic magic-circle gets activated below our feet. “Then, since all of you are concerned about it, how about we go and check them out?”
As he says that, the magic-circle releases a bright light—. When I open my eyes—what appears is the night view. We are outside. We look around us. —We see the Evil Dragons that are flying everywhere. They are spitting out enormous flames on the town! The place we got teleported to is—one of the towers of the castle. It looks like we are on top of it. This place allows us to see the whole town and castle as well as witness the destruction the Evil Dragons are causing! Shit! This is horrible! There are flames and smoke everywhere, and basically all of the tall buildings are destroyed! The whole view that appears before my eyes is like a sea of fire! “Ku……where did that bastard Rizevim go off to……?”
Sensei looks around. Vali shouts when he looks up the sky. “Rizevim!”
“Yahoo, Vali-kyun♪. Your grandpa will play with you☆.
