“The fire-pillar is built as if it is surrounding this town. That’s one of the replicas. There’s nothing but death for Devils that touches them and even the Magicians will turn into ashes. ……I did hear that she is helping the Khaos Brigade, but I never thought she would actually show up here……”
So on top of the Evil Dragons, the Longinus also participated in this terrorism! Rizevim shakes his hand happily. [That’s the gist of it, so do your best! We will commence our actions in three hours! Uhyahyahyahyahya!] The vision ends there—. ……It turned into the worst scenario we can ask for……! We moved immediately in order to fight against this. I then look back. Auros academy is behind me. ……The children’s smiles flashes in the back of my head. The children that shared their dreams, the children that have a goal. They will start learning many things at that place…… I can’t let those shit heads destroy this place before this school begins……! ……Fuck off, I won’t……let them destroy this school! We took action immediately. First thing the ORC and Student Council members did was to lead the children, their parents, and the staff to the evacuation site. The evacuation site—is the basement of the school. Sona-kaichou made a very solid shelter deep under the basement of this school just in case something like this happened. Seriously, all of us can only be shocked at how well-prepared Sona-kaichou is. Since there’s more than enough space at the area for refuge, we had the people of this town move there after explaining the situation we are in. Currently, all of the school staff members within the school campus are leading the people to safety. [I see, so you have already started evacuating them.] Sairaorg-san sent the communication-type magic-circle to Rias, so Rias and I are talking to him. I’m guessing the reason why the vision is a bit blurry is due to the appearance of the Purple Flame’s cross affecting it. Rias then says. “Yes, the town isn’t that big so there weren’t many people there. We will have finished evacuating them to the underground shelter of the school in three hours.”
[How is the progress with escaping from that town?] Rias shakes her head to the side at Sairaorg-san’s question. “There’s another barrier around this town besides the one covering the whole region which shunned us from the outside world. On top of that, Purple Flame’s cross has surrounded us. We tried to escape from here, and even if we blow away the double layers of shielding from the protection wall and the cross, it would be repaired immediately.”
The ones that attempted that was Xenovia and Rossweisse-san. We tried to destroy the barrier and the cross of fire using the attack of Ex-Durandal and Rossweisse-san’s offensive magic and de-spell magic. It could be destroyed, but it would be repaired so we couldn’t find any opening. If we can destroy them for at least ten seconds, we will be able to take the civilians outside……
Xenovia tried to go out of the barrier by digging the ground……but apparently the cross of fire also goes deep into the ground. In other words, we are out of plan in terms of escaping from here. Having the Magicians get their magic sealed was a big loss. If they hadn’t had their magic sealed, we could have escaped the barrier around this town right away if we ignore the barrier around the region. —They are preparing for it. By using the magic that wasn’t sealed, the Magicians gathered at the school’s basement shelter are currently attempting to make a teleportation magic-circle! The Magicians down there are all famous in those areas. That’s why this is a possible, yet crazy, way to do it. Apparently the magic that can teleport the children and civilians outside this town will be ready if we buy them several hours, so our fight will last till the spell is completed. We simply need to protect this town from the Evil Dragons that will come to assault here. Sairarog-san takes a breath. [Same situation over here. We are able to destroy the barrier around Agreas, but it gets repaired immediately. We can’t evacuate the people in this city under these conditions. And also—it looks like we are surrounded by the Evil Dragons already.] Sairaorg-san shows us one of the visions from outside. —! Rias and I become speechless at the sight. The whole sky is black. The sky city is covered in jet-black things. Those black things……are herds of Evil Dragons! ……There’s so many of them. The number of them is much more than one hundred or two hundred. ……The one at the centre of the Evil Dragons is a three-headed Dragon. Its stationed right in front of Agreas while flapping six of its wings. ……Its shining black scales are sometimes giving a purple colour, so it stands out even among the herds of mass-produced Evil Dragons. ……So Aži Dahāka headed to Agreas. He’s an opponent that even the Vali-team struggled with. ……It's certain that you should avoid fighting him heads on. [The ones over here are us, the Bael group, Seegvaira Agares and her group, and also Diehauser-sama’s group. We won’t go down so easily.] Sairaorg-san’s team, the Agares’s team, and Emperor Belial’s team are over there. They have more manpower than us. [Seegvaira is acting as a temporal agent of the Arch-Duke and is giving orders at Agreas. She is doing fine. She took command of the city by convincing the hard headed geezers of the councils.] The heiress of Agares. Since my first impression of her was fear, I still have an impression that she’s strict. “……D×D was formed for situations like this, so I’m frustrated that we can’t help them.”
Sairaorg-san shows his strong smile to Rias who is looking frustrated. [You’re wrong, Rias. —We are here. It’s better than none of us being here.] Yeah. If we weren’t here, this place would have been in a worse situation. Sairaorg-san says while looking at me directly. [Hyoudou Issei, this is the situation we must give our all. We must protect Agreas, that town, the children over there, and everyone else.] “……Sairaorg-san, those kids have nothing to do with those guy’s ambition and 666, right?”
[Yeah.] “They simply came here for their dreams, right?”
[Yeah.] “—D×D needs to go all out to protect those children, right?”
[Yeah, of course. Protecting the hopes of the Underworld is the duty of us that formed the D×D. We can’t allow even a single child to get killed. And we can’t forgive even a single of them. We will defeat all of those that come at us. As someone with power, that is our duty!] ……My heart is burning. Damn, it makes me happy. I’m glad we teamed up—. I’m really glad that we formed the D×D team. I never thought having someone besides us fighting will make me feel this strong! [We will definitely go there after we settle things over here. That’s why, you need to hold on!] “Yes! Soon as we succeed in escaping from here, we will definitely go there!”
The battle—is closing in.
