DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…………
After the silent vibration, a red aura gathers to the launcher. That starts to get bigger, and the aura is compressed and is charging at the launcher……….! The wings which are spread to the sides are glowing red, and the creepy red colour spread around the area. “Ku! I can't die in a place like this!”
Shalba tries to draw a magic circle with his remaining leg……. But that leg was “stopped”. “……You stopped it! My leg!”
The eyes on the armour shone red. ………Are you telling me it activated an ability similar to Gasper-kun's Sacred Gear!? [Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!!!!!!!!!!] [Longinus Smasher!!!!!!!] It echoes through the shrine numerous of times. The sound coming from Sekiryuutei's Sacred Gear. Then from the launcher that has been charged, an enormous amount of red aura is shot! This is bad! At this rate we will also get dragged into it! “Buchou, let's retreat at once! We have to evacuate from this shrine!”
“Ise……I……”
Buchou walks towards Ise-kun craving for him, but I stop her. “My apologies!”
I hold Buchou in my arms and ran. Akeno-san lent her shoulder to Xenovia, and Koneko-chan and Gasper-kun follow after me! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG! “I-Impossible……..! I, the true successor of the True-Maou…..! I still haven't made a fool out of Vali yet! Beelzebub is greater than Lucifer! Curses! A mere dragon! Red dragon! White dragoooon!”
Shalba gets enveloped by the red aura that was shot, and he disappeared into the light along with the shrine……..
“……!”
When I got out of the shrine, I created many holy-demonic swords to make a shelter, and had everyone evacuate in it. When I confirmed that the sound of the shrine crumbling stopped, I released the swords, and checked outside. -The shrine is completely destroyed. The device made by the Longinus is still remaining, but it had broken parts everywhere and has many cracks as well. Sekiryuutei's power can be this powerful……. “Oooooooooooooooooon…………….”
Ise-kun stands on the shrine which turned into a ruin, and releases a sad echo towards the sky. -Even if he lost himself, he still has the sadness of losing Asia-san within him. Shalba Beelzebub and Diodora Astaroth are no longer alive. The fight is supposed to be over, yet Ise-kun's armour shows no sign of disappearing. ……..What should I do? What should I do to make Ise-kun return to himself? Including Buchou, the whole group can only just look at the roaring Ise-kun. “Looks like you guys are in trouble huh?”
A new person? Then a crack is made in the air! From the crack, the one who appeared is Hakuryuukou Vali. And also the man wearing ancient Chinese armour. It's my first time seeing him, but he must be Sun Wukong. And another unfamiliar man wearing a business suit. The sword this man is holding has a great amount of light I have never seen before. I knew right away. The man Ise-kun met. The wielder of the Holy King sword Collbrande. “Vali.”
Buchou gets shocked at Vali's appearance. –But she made a stance to attack immediately. We also made the stance to battle too. But I couldn't sense hostility from them. “I have no will to fight. I just came to observe. –Sekiryuutei's [Juggernaut Drive] that is. But by looking at it, it seems like he went through an incomplete Juggernaut Drive. You are lucky that Juggernaut Drive occurred within this specially-made battlefield. If this had happened in the human world, the urban areas and its surroundings might have vanished.”
Buchou asks Vali. “…….This form, is he able to revert from it?”
“Since it isn't a complete Juggernaut Drive there would be cases where he can revert, but there will also be a case where he remains like this, trimming his life and die. Either way, staying like this for long would put Hyoudou Issei's life in danger.”
So it is a dangerous form after all….. Then Bikou walks towards me. –He was holding onto a familiar girl. “Here, she is part of your guys' group, right? This healing sister.”
The girl who Bikou handed over to me is…..Asia-san! “Asia!”
“Asia-chan!”
Buchou, Akeno-san, and everyone else gathers around Asia-san. From the looks of it, she had no external wounds. It seems like she is unconscious……but she's breathing! “She's breathing!”
Everyone got in tears with my answer. Even I have tears coming from my eyes. I'm glad! I'm seriously glad! “But why….”
When I ask, the wielder of Collbrande answers. “We were investigating the dimensional gap around here by chance. Then this little lady came flying into the dimensional gap. Vali said he recognised her, so we brought her here. She was lucky. If we weren't there by luck, this girl would have been exposed to “nothingness” and would have perished.”
I see. So that's the reason. But I'm glad that Asia-san is safe. “Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaan!”
Xenovia confirms Asia-san's safety and maybe she felt relieved, so got on her bottom crying. I put Asia-san down on where Xenovia-san is. She hugs on Asia-san with a lot of care, and is shedding tears of joy. “-What's left now is Ise.”
Buchou looked towards Ise-kun. Ise-kun is still continuing to roar because of the sadness of losing Asia-san. “Is he able to revert to himself if we tell him about Asia's safety?”
Vali shook his head to the side to Buchou's suggestion. “It's dangerous. You will die. Though I won't stop you from doing it.”
Akeno-san and Koneko-chan approach Vali. “I know we are not in a position to ask, but please. Please help us save him. If it's you, the Hakuryuukou, can you not fulfill the role to bring back his consciousness?”
“……Please. We will also help using our full strength, so please let us borrow your power to bring him back….”
Both of them are thinking deeply about Ise-kun. I thought Vali would decline right away but he starts to think about it. “Yeah. It would work if there is something which will stimulate his heart…….”
“Wouldn't it be okay if we just show him Oppai?”
Bikou says that while scratching his head. I also thought that was the best method, but I couldn't let it slip out of my mouth. “Not if he's in that form. What always calmed down a dragon was a song….. We don't have such a thing, and a song for the Sekiryuutei and Hakuryuukou doesn't exist.”
“There is!”
A white-winged angel flew towards us while speaking over Vali. –It's Shidou Irina-san. “Haa, I finally arrived. Wait, that's Ise-kun!? I heard it from Michael-sama and Azazel-sama, but such a serious thing was actually happening!”
Getting shocked and to be in high spirits. Like always, Shidou Irina-san has such strong emotions. “Irina, why are you here?”
When Xenovia asks, Irina-san pushed forward the holographic projector. It's the one used by devils.
