Asia and Xenovia, take Irina ahead! We will take care of things here!”
Cao Cao says it after her. “Exactly. Someone who disappeared once came back and took the fight from nowhere. This sure is a treat for me.”
…………
……Damn. I guess this is what you call a passing buck! Certainly if this guy, Rias, and others join forces then they will be able to take care of Ladon and the Evil Dragons! I look at Asia, Xenovia, and Irina. The three of them are convinced and nod……but I then tell Cao Cao. “……I won’t let you off the hook if you are beaten after making such an entrance.”
He releases a torrent of light towards the herd of Evil Dragons while showing a smirk. Right after that the herds of Evil Dragons get blown away at once along with a massive explosion! ……The spear has unimaginable potential like usual! Cao Cao says it fearlessly while spinning his spear. “The reason I lost was due to my own weakness since I didn’t walk my path as a human. I don’t need the Medusa’s eyes or the Chaos Break. ——I just need my spear and my pride as a hero and a human. I promised myself I won’t let my guard down against Dragons any more.”
……That sure is scary. The reason I won against him is due to himself who made his own weakness by relying on a power besides his. The creepiness I can sense from him now is stronger than before. “Rias! Everyone! I’ll leave the rest to you!”
I say that to everyone and went ahead together with Asia, Xenovia, and Irina! When I went past Cao Cao, he says to me so only I can hear. “——Yeah, it was always the “humans” that defeat the irregular beings.”

A little later Asia, Xenovia and Irina headed towards the gate to leave while I, Kiba, with the help of the others began to fight off a large number of evil dragons. Left behind with me are Rias-buchou, Akeno-san, Koneko-chan, Gasper, Rossweisse-sensei, as well as the owner of the holy spear Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Ladon began fighting. Wielding the holy spear, he released a holy wave at Ladon. If one was to take a frontal blow from the holy spear, even a high class devil would not be able to withstand it. However, just before the attack could hit Ladon, it seemed to have been stopped by something and was eliminated. There seemed to be some sort of barrier protecting Ladon’s body. The self-protection barrier of this dragon is quite troublesome. Although Ladon only made a slight move, he was able to take an attack from the holy spear showing that his defensive barrier was quite extraordinary. Ladon let out a burst of laughter. “I never imagined that I would meet the owner of the holy spear…, it seems that I really am quite lucky to have been revived, I am able to see something from legend in front of me.”
Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders. “Yes, that’s really good. It’s your second time dying so you should have a good farewell ceremony.”
This man is, as always just talking. Ladon put on a rather disturbing smile. “Well then, let me show you something interesting.”
Then Ladon’s foot moved to make a magic circle, a dragon gate! Does he intend to bring more dragons out here?! The dragon gate started to emit a deep green light! Seeing this, Rossweisse-sensei cried out in surprise. —-! “This, this dragon is incredible!”
The aura had all of us stunned. That’s right, in the green light which started to disperse was —- a massive dragon covered in black scales. “RRROOAARRR!! !~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~”
It even caused the air around it to tremble. Emerging from the magic circle was the dragon Grendel. But there was more than just one dragon! There were three dragons! There was actually three of Grendel?! I and everyone else were all shocked at the appearance of these evil dragons! On top of that, three of them was completely unexpected! Ladon, with the three evil dragons said with a sneer
“How? They were manufactured with Grendel as the reference dragon, although they are still being adjusted, they’re looking quite good aren’t they?”
…To think that there was such a thing. Their technology has already reached such a level that they are able to reproduce several of Grendel?! However, we can see that these three Grendel don’t have the consciousness of the actual Grendel. There is absolutely nothing that can be felt from them except for Ladon who is standing behind them. … Because there were 4 legendary evil dragons as our opponents, everyone could only stop and stare with their breath held. — However, only one man made a defiant smile, it was Cao Cao. Cao Cao declared to Rias-buchou that he would defeat these evil dragons. “Rias Gremory, that guy over there has some unusual barrier covering his body and on top of that there’s also three of Grendel.”
As he said that, we understood that even our strongest attack was no match for Ladon’s barrier. There were also three Grendels against us, so the situation was quite bleak. “I know that ordinary attacks will not be effective against this barrier.”
Hearing Buchou say this, Cao Cao made a bitter smile. “For someone called the ruin princess, you’re not very confident.”
“Thanks for the compliment, I don’t know why all my opponents are legendary figures so sometimes I’m not confident.”
“That’s not like you at all, you’re Hyoudou Issei’s partner so you should be more confident.”
Cao Cao said in a slightly accusing tone to Buchou. “I’ll make an opening in that guy’s defence, … the rest is up to you.”
Buchou made a confused expression. That was certain. This was a favourable situation for us. This former enemy’s plans did not seem too strange. Buchou was suspicious of it. “… Are you doing this to help me? Is Indra gaining something from this? You’re quite confident? Or is it because you look down on me?”
Cao Cao shook his head. “No. Both now and before it is with respect. — Even you are enemies to be feared.”
From the expression in his eyes, it does not seem as though he is lying. “Yet, opponents such as this should be taken care of by the current hero, I…who was once a fallen man. It is too early to make new excuses. When the holy spear comes from the back, be glad.”
Rias-Buchou sighed. “Indeed, I don’t like your view at all. But, if the holy spear were to be used—this would be our chance.”
Buchou actually approved of Cao Cao’s suggestion! Cao Cao then stood beside me. “Kiba, can your legs run any further?”
“Of course they can.”
“That’s good, although it may be mass produced, that is the legendary evil dragon Grendel. Even at a normal level, its flames will turn anything to ashes.”
I released Gram from where it was stored and held it while it released a dark aura. Cao Cao directed his eyes in the direction of my demonic sword. … He was definitely thinking about something. After all, his partner Siegfried was the original owner of this sword. I paid no attention to his gaze though, and made a holy sword which enclosed Gram inside it. … This is the control method from before. Although this doesn’t solve the problem, it is better than nothing and is good for a few minutes.
