If I release a large aura, my energy will be drained. However, this was inevitable. I was well aware of this from the start. “It’s an interesting approach. But, is your value dependent on the demonic sword?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“—That’s good, no matter what the situation is, you come up with something. Does your calibre match the name of the Gremory household though?”
Seeing my technique, perhaps he saw that there were other ways to use Gram. His skills were a level above mine. With just a glance he was able to deduce that. He deliberately didn’t tell me, which is proof that he was testing me. He naturally placed his spear over his shoulder after a graceful movement, then spoke to me. “Gremory household member, I will charge in, don’t let him get away when he’s weak.”
“You think I’ll let it get away when it’s exposed? You seem fairly confident about this, so you’ll reveal his weakness?”
After Ladon’s provocative actions, he was grinning with pleasure. “That’s interesting, but aiming at the dragon’s weakness is not a hero’s skill.”
In response, from behind him came a light and seven orbs emerged! This is the holy spear’s balance breaker. Although I had only seen it once before, it is actually quite a quiet balance breaker, yet it can make people feel absolutely terrified at the same time. The seven orbs began floating around him. Each of the gems has its own ability; I remember that we were almost completely defeated by it. But now, he is our ally, which makes me feel relieved but at the same time fearful. I tightened my grip on Gram then turned to make a stance, preparing to fight against the evil dragons. Akeno-san spread her fallen angel wings, Gasper transformed into the body of a dark beast and Koneko-chan also used her senjutsu to make her body grow into a more mature form. One by one, everyone was starting to get serious. Three of Grendel blocked the path in front of Ladon. Their massive bodies were protected by an orange magical barrier. It seems like Ladon increased the strength of his defensive barrier. Originally, Grendel would be protected by hard scales and now there’s an added layer of defence. While staying on alert against the evil dragons, we each locked onto our targets. A brief moment of silence—, at the front was – Gasper. Emerging from the darkness was a beast which headed towards the Grendel (A)Grendel (A), (B) & (C) : This is used to denote which Grendel is the current subject.on the right hand side — he attacked. Although the move was easily swung aside, from within the darkness of the beast, Koneko leapt out and closed the distance in an instant then punched Grendel in the abdomen with a fist imbued with senjutsu! The sound of the blow reverberated throughout the surroundings! Grendel’s body tilted slightly. In confirmation, Koneko-chan shouted to everyone
“It works! Their bodies are far inferior to that of the real Grendel!”
Everyone’s morale was boosted! Indeed, if this confrontation with Grendel continued, even if there were three of them there was a way to defeat them! I stood in front of another Grendel (B) and began slashing it! My attack was mixed in with a few false swipes! Although it had a large body, its swift movements were just like the real thing — but from my sixth sense I felt that its reactions were like a block of wood! They were slow enough that even my false strikes would hit. It swung his fist towards me but only caught my afterimage, as I had moved well in advance. This was because I had already moved right behind it and released a demonic attack! Known as the most powerful demonic sword which can kill dragons, it left a massive wound! The cloned dragon let out a cry of pain. But I apologise, for I will not hold back. Evil Dragons – when you are my opponent I will find your weaknesses! I shoved my sword deep into the back of the dragon! At the same time Akeno-san and Rossweisse-san cried out. “Akeno-san! , Rossweisse-san!”
In response to each other, Akeno-san flew towards the centre of the sky and gathered lightning at her fingertips, while Rossweisse-san drew a magic circle! I loosened my blade, and Grendel moved to increase our distance. “Go! Holy lightning!”
Akeno-san’s massive lightning strike fell towards the cloned dragon —
“Lightning, burn this evil dragon!”
Rossweisse-san’s thunder magic struck at the same time! This is a combo of the demonic sword and lightning! Even if they have been strengthened by the holy grail, Gram’s aura inside the dragon will spread and kill it. On top of that, Akeno-san and Rossweissse-san release another powerful dual lightning strike. Due to the damage from that lightning attack and the dragon slaying effect which had spread inside it, it spurted out a large mouthful of blood. …This was the same as what Koneko-chan said. These Grendel were very easy to get rid of. Even with Ladon’s powerful magical barrier, to me these were easy opponents to defeat. “I’m flying!”
The battle between the other Grendel (A) and Rias-buchou was well underway. Koneko-chan’s power surrounded the dragon and purified its four limbs. The dark beast which is Gasper was assaulting him from the front. A mere evil dragon, it’s nothing against me! >>
A fist came from Gasper’s side and punched the massive body of Grendel which couldn’t withstand the force and staggered backwards. Gasper’s strike seemed to be quite a heavy blow, causing the evil dragon to spurt out blue blood from its mouth. Grendel wanted to evade the next strike, but Gasper manipulated the shadow of the large evil dragon by pulling it towards him, then unleashed another fist upon him! Not too long ago, it was completely unimaginable that he would display such strength against an opponent! The reason was actually quite simple. It was because Gasper, in his current state had recently trained with Issei. He was influenced by Issei to train in melee combat. He has already shown the results of his training in just ten minutes. The way he uses his fists is the same as Issei. Issei, Gasper is being influenced by you more and more! Gasper continued beating the evil dragon non-stop, then while on the ground Rias-buchou’s destructive magic destroyed the dragon without mercy. Even though it had tough scales, it was no match against the destructive power of her magic. This was already demonstrated the time that we were in the vampire’s castle. All that was left now was Grendel (C) and Ladon. “Humph.”
Cao Cao moved as though dancing to avoid the barrage of attacks. Now was the time to counter-attack with the holy spear. It looked like a game of tag between little kids and an evil dragon. Even when the opponent let out a massive burst of flames, a small amount of light from the spear was able to counter it. — At the same time, the seven orbs began attacking Ladon’s barrier. Ladon looked around at the sky, following the random motion of the orbs, his red eyes began to look impatient.
