It looks like compared to summoning Great Red, handling this monkey old man was more important!
" --Capture and bind. Mist!" The mist from before began to surround First Gen and gathered.
" --By the justice of heaven, thunder sealing the dragon's jaw. Prostrate upon the ground." Thud. First Gen chanted the spell, and then tapped his staff on the ground once, and the mist dispersed! He broke through that kind of mist just like that! "Your Sacred Gear training is very weak. You should enter in a dialogue with it like that red dragon over there, how's that?" Ah, I am being praised. So happy! The mist user was very surprised. Of course, he held the power of a top tier Longinus, but it was completely ineffective! Ting! Cao Cao saw an opening and extended the blade of his spear, planning on ambushing First Gen.
With one finger, First Gen blocked the spear! Come on, can this be real! He defended against that spear just like that! "...Not a bad attack. But only this, you're still young. At the level that can be stopped by my finger, it is impossible for you to eliminate the other gods and buddhas. Whether you or the mist user, neither gave a serious attack. Don't underestimate me." Hearing First Gen's words, Cao Cao laughed. "... I see. That monstrous strength still exists... We keep hearing how strong you were in your younger days. But how is it now?" To Cao Cao's question, First Gen simply shrugged his shoulders fearlessly. Siegfried picked himself up from the rubble and said to Cao Cao. "Cao Cao. It's over. Sun Wukong is famous for stopping Khaos Brigade operations numerous times. If we continue to attack recklessly, valuable talent may get injured. I was too naive. He is ridiculously strong." Hearing that, Cao Cao put away his spear. "Time to retreat eh. Choosing the wrong moment could result in grave injuries." Smack! The Hero Faction swiftly gathered in one spot, and the mist user started activating a giant magic circle conjured under his feet. It was a transportation magic circle! They're trying to escape! Cao Cao left behind some words. "Let's call it a day, First Gen-dono, Gremory servants, as well as the Sekiryuutei, hope to see you next time." Wait! Don't think you can escape! T-To do this during our school trip! As well as taking Kunou's mother--
I gathered aura, forming a cannon on my left gauntlet. Packing my remaining power into that cannon, I focused on this one attack! Buzzzz...
With a quiet sound, energy gradually gathered in the gauntlet cannon. A massive attack is not needed, just hitting that guy is enough! First Gen smiled at me. "You will complete my mission? Sure, that's fine. I'll let you punish that kid. It will only be for a short while, but I will raise your power." First Gen lightly tapped my armour with his staff. --And then, aura flowed forth from my body! Is this the power of sennjutsu? My body, did it ever have this much aura? No, was it sleeping? Much thanks, monkey old man! With this I have enough to fire the cannon! I locked the aim of the cannon's barrel onto Cao Cao.
" -- You think you can return without any punishment? This is my gift to you, your souvenir from Kyoto!" Boom! A dense blast of magic was fired from the gauntlet's cannon! "Arrogant bastard!" Heracles and Jeanne stepped forward, planning to shield Cao Cao. There! I imagined Sirzechs-sama's magic in my mind. -- That unending stream of attacks! No, no, I don't need to reach the level of those kinds of movements! Just change the course of the projectile! "Bend!" As I yelled, I liberated my imagination in my mind! In that instant, the cannon shot changed trajectory and bent around Heracles and Jeanne! Smack! The surprise attack hit Cao Cao right in the face! "Oooh ooh ooh..."
Red smoke was rising, as Cao Cao covered his face! It made a bend! I made my attack swerve! There really was plenty of room for improvement, so if I wanted, I can change the direction of Dragon Shots I had already fired? The battle with Sirzechs-sama was not a waste! Cao Cao's right eye bled, but he still stared over here! His face was stained red. That guy was covering his right eye, and showing an expression of mad glee. "...My eye was... Sekiryuutei!" Raising his spear, Cao Cao began to chant powerful words of an incantation.
" --O spear! The true holy spear that even pierces God! Absorb the tyrant's ambition sleeping within me, blessing and destruction will be--"
Siegfried covered Cao Cao's mouth and held him down! "Cao Cao! Stop chanting! It is too early to reveal the Balance Breaker of True Longinus -- Truth Idea!" These words made Cao Cao calm down and he took a deep breath. And then Siegfried said. "Retreat. Annihilation Maker Leonardo is also at his limits. At this rate, the outside members cannot bide time much longer. After all, we already gained a lot of valuable data, and obtained very good experience." Siegfried stared at First Gen. It looked like he could still make an attack like just now. Cao Cao stared at me with his left eye. What a sharp gaze... What kind of stare was that? "Understood. First Gen, and the Sekiryuutei -- no, Hyoudou Issei. Please allow us to take our leave. Really, I can't laugh at Vali any more. I am in the same state. You always manage to rile us up at the very end." Was he talking about that battle at Kuou Academy with Vali? The light from the magic circle intensified. Just as he disappeared, Cao Cao said to me.
" -- Hyoudou Issei, become even stronger. Stronger than Vali. If that happens, I can show you the true power of this spear." Leaving behind these words, Cao Cao and the Heroes Faction disappeared from this dimension. ...In the instant they vanished, fatigue gushed forth. Even maintaining the armoured state was taking all my effort. Heroes Faction. Cao Cao... The ultimate Longinus... All were so mysterious. I can only say this. The Heroes Faction, especially that man, were frighteningly strong. After the Heroes Faction escaped, those left behind were us, and Sun Wukong and Yu-Long who came as reinforcements. As well as the kyuubi leader. "Ah, so tired, if Vritra was not here it would have been a hassle..."
Yu-Long landed and took a deep breath. The kyuubi leader had been stopped by Yu-Long and the recovered Saji -- Vritra. After that, Saji had returned to human form but passed out on the ground, and was now receiving Asia's healing. Thanks for your hard work, Saji. However, the kyuubi leader did not return to human form, and currently her pupils were still grey and had not recovered consciousness. "Mother! Mother!" [ ... ]
Kunou cried as she called for Yasaka-san... but there was no response. "Now what should we do? Though I can use sennjutsu to remove the evil ki presence, it will take a long while." Puffing his pipe, First Gen was considering other solutions. Then he thought of something, and looked in my direction. "Red kid. You seem to have a strange power that can listen to female breasts?" What, how did he know...? Was my power that famous?
