Also the anecdote of legendary strong people and the search for the Heroes or creatures whose status, either dead or alive, is currently unknown. Sometimes we do terrorism.”
“…..You guys are like adventurers.”
“Yes! We have great adventures every day! We also fought against strong people then. Vali-sama is also trying to find where the beings referred to as dragons originally came from. Also he’s looking into the reason behind the big fight of the Two-Heavenly dragons. Also if we can find a new Longinus. That is also one of the things we searched for!”
Le Fay said with enjoyment. ……I take back my words. They aren’t adventurers. They are just guys who have nothing to do! Maybe fighting Great-Red is Vali’s final aim, but apart from that they are just going around looking for things that interest them. Is he being an adventurer in order to seek out strong foes? “I think Vali-sama’s purists on things is an influence from Governor-sama.”
Le Fay added that at the end. Hearing that Sensei sighed and put on lazy eyes. His face looked like that of a father who heard a report on the actions of his naughty son. Le Fay smiles. “By the way Governor-sama. It has been a Longinus parade lately hasn’t it. ---Is the person who is in possession of “Canis Lykaon” that is staying with the Grigori doing alright?”
Sensei who was just asked a question looked up at the ceiling. “……..[Canis Lykaon]. Slash Dog huh. He is out on a different mission. That is also quite a troublesome case. He hated Vali.”
“Yes. I have heard.”
Le Fay chuckles. I had my feelings soften up after seeing her adorable smile. I then ask Sensei. “By the way Sensei. If Cao Cao has the strongest Longinus, then someone has the second strongest Longinus right?”
“Yeah. [Zenith Tempest]. That is the second strongest Longinus. The Top-tier Longinus are the four known as the [True Longinus], [Zenith Tempest], [Annihilation Maker], and [Dimension Lost]. The possessor of Zenith Tempest is already known and the heavens are mainly governing it…… So Irina. How is he…..How is the Brave-Saints's “Joker” doing?”
Irina who was asked a question twitched her neck. “Do you mean Dulio-sama? I hear that he wanders around places searching for delicious food…..”
Sensei seemed to be speechless from that answer. “Wha……. He’s a genius reincarnated angel who might be picked as a candidate for Seraph! He’s a Joker(Trump card)!? What are Michael and the Seraph guys doing! ?”
Hearing Sensei’s question Irina mumbles “E-Even if you say that to me……”. Sensei has also hinted about the Joker of reincarnated angels before. Looks like he was chosen as that position. “Is that person also strong?”
I asked Sensei but the one who answered is Le Fay. “He is someone who Vali lists at the top of his “wanting to fight” list. He is apparently the Church’s strongest Exorcist.”
-Church’s strongest Exorcist!? So he must possess quite a lot of strength. He is the possessor of the second strongest Longinus, he’s the strongest Exorcist, he’s a reincarnated angel, and he’s a Joker….. He’s someone who has so much “strongest” criteria in him! Xenovia who is a former exorcist responds. “Dulio Gesualdo. He was also famous within the Church. I never met him, but he was sent out mainly against High-class devils and really evil creatures even though he was just a human.”
……He fought High-class devils even though he was a human….. He’s basically like Cao Cao. He must be able to do that because he is a Longinus possessor….. Sensei then sighs. “Longinus possessors huh. There are 13 Longinus: [True Longinus], [Sephiroth Graal], [Boosted Gear], [Divine Dividing], [Regulus Nemea], [Innovate Clear], [Absolute Demise], [Dimension Lost], [Zennith Tempest], [Incinerate Anthem], [Annihilation Maker], [Canis Lykaon], and [Telos Karma]. Put that on your memo carefully, Ise.”
“Y-Yes!”
Though I don’t have anything to write on! -13 types. I have encountered about…… half of them. Just thinking that there was another half of those Sacred Gears with abnormal abilities gave me the chills. Sensei stood up all of a sudden as if he realised something. Oh, did you come up with a good plan on how to get out of here?! “Ah! I found the similar points between the current Longinus possesors. –Each and every one of them is hard to predict! We have an oppai-brain and battle freak and they are all selfish guys who have weird motives! I’m going to write that down afterwards! Damn it!”
….I’m an idiot for believing in you. But Sensei continued on. “I also found one more similar point. –The way they use their Longinus isn’t the same as how it was until now. Most of the possessors are finding different ways to use it and it is increasing their strength. ……Have the current kids surpassed our expectations…… ? No, but still…….”
Aaaah, he started to think by himself again. Once he goes off into his own world, Sensei doesn’t come back that easily…… That’s what I thought but he seemed to have finished his thinking time. That’s because Ophis returned to this room. “I - 'll go around this floor.”
Ophis just said that and left before. She finally came back. “-So how do you feel Ophis?”
“I - 've become weak. Right now I - am twice as strong as the Two-Heavenly Dragons at their strongest times.”
“That is…..yeah you have weakened.”
“…..No, no. She’s still twice as strong as Ddraig and Albion before they were sealed right? And she became weak while still having that much power? How strong was she before…..”
I reply back to Sensei saying she has “weakened”. If she weakened with that, then there’s no place for me as one of the Two-Heavenly-Dragons! “Well she is the strongest being out of every faction.”
Yeah, you are right! So the original Ophis was much stronger. Well, she didn’t even have Cao Cao in her mind even when he was her opponent. “Hey Ophis. There’s something I want to ask. Why did you save Asia and Irina back then?”
The fireball Georg released against Asia and Irina immediately after we arrived in the lobby. Ophis acted as their wall and protected them. Why did Ophis save those two? I was wondering about that. Wasn’t she uninterested in anyone besides Great-Red and Ddraig? Ophis answers with one sentence. “They gave me tea, they played cards with me.”
….! Is she talking about what happened at my house? I asked her with a dumb look. “T-That’s it?”
Ophis nods at my question. ……Maybe she isn’t a bad guy……? “Thank you very much Ophis-san!”
Irina thanked her. Hearing Ophis’s condition, Sensei put his hand on his chin. “…..But only twice as strong as the Two-Heavenly Dragons. That’s weird. Cao Cao said that you were basically a left over but if you still posses that much power then that’s enough.”
Well it was certainly like Sensei said. It seemed like the Grim Reapers and Seigfried were here, but if Ophis had that much power left then that made me feel relieved. Ophis raised her hand emotionlessly. “Samael took my power, I released my power in the form of snakes in another space. That, is what I just went to retrieve.
