I’m getting irritated since it feels like he’s using the Sekiryuutei’s ability without my permission. My anger towards him is simply increasing……! …………No, hold on a sec. If that’s possible, the reverse will also be possible! I give my suggestion. “Then let’s do the opposite! I will use the Boosted Gear to increase the power of the de-spell for it!”
But Kaichou shakes her head to the side. “They must be aware that we may take that action. We should presume that they may have a counter-spell towards it. ……If we try to break this situation carelessly, there’s a chance that a disaster will happen.”
……So the enemies are looking that far ahead huh. It certainly sounds possible. It seemed like that man Euclid is aware of both the merits and demerits of the Boosted Gear, He must have prepared a plan towards an action I may take. “It will be hard to deal with it if they keep on using that procedure.”
Akeno-san says with uneasiness. Kaichou answers her. “It can’t be something which can be used as they want. It isn’t a genuine Sacred Gear after all, and from the report I was given, it requires a huge cost in order to use it. Except, judging from this barrier, the magic Aži Dahāka used has a complicated equation. Even if they enhanced the effect of it, it requires delicate maintenance. That’s because there’s a risk that the spell would go out of control and blow regardless of the power up being small or big. ……I can only think that Euclid Lucifugus is proficient in using the replica Boosted Gear.”
……For the replica user to be superior to the original user. The proof which shows the difference between the base stats of the hosts. Even if you have a powerful weapon, you won’t be able to bring out its true abilities if the one controlling it isn’t a strong person. Kaichou smiles to me who is looking down. “You know I’m not saying that you are inferior to him, Ise-kun? Your have talent at using your Sacred Gear. ……Except, he must have a great talent. The name of Lucifugus, the one that serves the Lucifer as his right-hand man, is something to be reckoned with.”
Yes, I know. My opponent is the brother of Grayfia-san. Even though he’s rotten, he’s still the brother of the strongest “Queen”. It’s natural that he’s strong. “We need to find the objective of the enemies first.”
Rias says. Gondur-san puts her hand on her chest. [……Their first objective must be us. The Magicians that have researched a topic related to 666. So they are after us. But they also covered Agreas with a barrier. They may have some kind of intention.] The sky city Agreas. Yes, they purposely covered this town and Agreas with an ellipse-shaped barrier. If they are after this town which currently has the Magicians, then they could have simply covered this town only with a sphere-shaped barrier. They must have a reason to why they also sealed Agreas. “—The technology from the Old-Maou’s era.”
Ravel mutters. Kaichou also nods. “The technology that comes from the Old-Maou’s era is used in Agreas. There are still areas we can’t decipher and the research institute belonging to Ajuka Beelzebub-sama is currently investigating the depth region of that island. Rizevim Livan Lucifer who is the son of the previous Lucifer must be after a certain thing in that island.”
Oh yeah, I did get an explanation like that from Sensei before our match against Bael. The technology from the Old-Maou’s era…… Rizevim is the son of the previous Maou. So it won’t be weird if he becomes interested in the technology from that era. Gondur-san starts to think as she put her hand under her chin. [The legacy of the Old-Maou’s era—or it can be a type of weapon. And it’s most likely related to 666.] “Or it can be one of the technologies that allows you to go the other world.”
Everyone becomes quiet for a moment after Rias said that. ……I wonder if there’s such a big secret in that sky city. Well, simply being able to float and have a city on it makes me think it’s made up of many technologies. Though I hope it’s not a cliché where a weapon of mass destruction lies deep within there. “They made a barrier of this scale, so won’t there be someone outside the barrier who can sense something strange is going on?”
That’s my question. If they can’t get in contact with a well-known city like Agreas, then it won’t be weird if the soldiers of the Agares territory are sent to investigate it after finding this situation strange. If they realise Qlippoth is behind this, then other members of D×D or powerful individuals of the Underworld will come to rescue us. Sona-kaichou narrows her eyes. “……They must already be aware that will happen if they make such bold moves like this. Most likely, there’s a chance that they have closed the connection with the outside world by distorting time and dimensions to make sure people outside won’t realise it.”
Rias continues. “……Distorting space-time. The one hour here will only be one minute outside…...it’s something I hear often when it’s related to the concerns of using magic, but this is something which is only possible if an experienced Magician made a proper preparation for it. ……I never thought we would get troubled this much when the Boosted Gear and an Evil Dragon that uses forbidden techniques gets involved.”
[Even so, using a spell of this calibre will definitely trim away your life. Even if he is a Dragon, it won’t be weird if it uses its life as a price.] Gondur-san says that…… It must be the Holy Grail. The Evil Dragons can take reckless actions because of that. Even if it ends up destroying its body, it can simply have it fixed—. ……I’m not Gya-suke, but we certainly need to get that back. As long as that exists, those guys can even make crazy stunts likes this! ……To control time and dimensions. It will be hard to make a counter-plan if they can even do this! Rias says to me who is confused. “Ever since the monster crisis that was caused by the Hero-faction, a device which has the protection wall installed that can block magic related to time and dimensions have been set up on the important institutes and locations of the Underworld. For example at places like, Lilith which is the capital city of the Maou territory and the main city of the Gremory territory. Obviously there are many layers of defence set-up around the Kuou academy which is the place we live. It especially has a more severe defence since the enemy has intruded there once already. But—”
Rias looks towards Sona-kaichou. Kaichou also nods. “Yes, the device for the protection wall hasn’t been set-up in this town and Agreas yet. The schedule for the set-up at Agreas has been stalled on numerous occasions. That place is the holy land for the Rating Game as well as being the amusement institute and a tourist city. You need to shut down one of the functions there in order to put up that protection barrier. That became the cause of it and a portion of the city’s institute was reluctant towards the set-up of the protection wall device, hence the delay.
