176 A Great Day.

"Ah—! I give up. Just forget about me"

Kazuma threw his hands in the air before lying listlessly on the ground. He didn't bother with the dissipating holographic screen and closed his eyes.

"You know, Kazuma. From where I came from, we have a quick cure to laziness which involves throwing people off cliffs." Leone said with a bright smile, instantly making Kazuma open his eyes.

Her head is currently in pain trying to learn how to operate this Chat Room efficiently and seeing Kazuma rolling in complaints isn't helping at all.

"Oi, what is the meaning of this?"

Kazuma had a feeling and became restless. Not because of Leone's pointless threat, but because of the cliffs.

He never liked cliffs. The last time that he happened to be near one he got slapped by cutout cardboard of Rick Astley wielded by a retarded angel of doom.

"Don't be too hard on Kazuma. I am sure he only wants to show off his new skill. The drama queen skill, if I recall correctly" Kaguya chuckled slightly.

"..."

"Just do us a favor and focus for once. Look at Ritsuka, she is doing very well" Misaka rubbed her forehead

"Eh? What? What am I doing?"

Awoken from her daze, Ritsuka was startled to see Misaka and Kazuma glaring at her. What did she do?!

"What is the point of studying an empty function anyway? Is it another sick joke?"

"Just admit your mentality is the reason we aren't progressing"

"Don't try to pin this on me. Look at them, are they doing anything significant? An angry old man and a bald-capped guy who can't get over losing some food! Man, just get over it."

Kazuma pointed at Whitebeard and Saitama, but they ignored him completely. Whitebeard was busy thinking about something and Saitama stared at the place where the table full of dishes vanished into thin air.

"Anyway, I am done." Kazuma yawned before saying "*Sigh* I wonder what is up with the sadistic angle…"

Closing his eyes, Kazuma didn't bother anymore and thought of more important things, like when Leo would come and get beaten by everyone.

{Speaking of that guy, he didn't look quite well when he left. Maybe something important happened. If so, I can be assured it won't be one of those 'greatest plans ever' that end with an explosion… right?}

"Well, how about we have a deal? Get stabbed with this cross calmly or I beat you back to a one-tailed fox… then I'll stab you"

"E-enemy attack!!"

"Protect lady Yasaka!!"

"Hurry and extinguish the flames!! The castle is collapsing! Ah!!"

Cracks spread along the walls of an ancient castle, further speeding its demolition. From within the raging flames, the faint sound of footsteps was heard as Leo greeted a bunch of startled Youkai surrounding a golden nine-tailed fox Youkai.

She wore a traditional shrine maiden attire with the golden crown on her head, but what truly stood out were the long fox ears and the nine-tails coiling behind her. However, unlike her appearance, what truly caught Leo's attention was the Dragon Veins beneath her.

The Dragons Veins in the whole area were connected to this woman, making her the center of all the energy of nature here.

"Kyuubi? This world version of the harlot Tamamo no Mae?"

This world also has a Tamamo no Mae, but that was expected. There isn't a chance this world would miss out on the existence of Kitsune. Though, compared to the one related to Amaterasu in Type-Moon, Leo doesn't see any point in paying attention.

The flow of energy beneath the land told Leo this fox was his target. Yet, for it to be a Kyuubi is something… weird, to say the least.

Turning oneself into the core of the Dragon Veins is like becoming an Earthbound spirit. Tied down to one land unable to leave it for long. This isn't much different from sealing oneself.

Of the mischievous nature of Kitsune and how they were forced to be sealed in history, the fox in front of him chose to imprison herself. Ironic development, but hey, on another point, it's a free ticket to become a NEET.

[######(DXD World's Will): You… What the hell are you thinking about? Wait, you don't know her?]

"Hm? Why do you care and why should I know her?"

Distracted by the sudden window popup, Leo soon found his vision taken away by a blazing flare devouring the darkness.

Blue flames rose from behind the Youkai group, forming a storm in the air. The Ki in nature was drawn and turned into fuel before the flames devoured Leo's silhouette in a heartbeat.

This blaze is like a fiery inferno compared to normal flames. Stones melted and the hot wind blew sparks as the air became very dry. The front yard of the castle was erased by the firestorm, leaving the youkai in horror as they tried to wipe away their vaporized sweat.

The golden fox woman stepped forward as blue fire bloomed like flowers around her. The Youkai backed away in fear.

"Lady Yasaka---!"

"All of you, leave"

Staring at the flames pit, the woman named Yasaka's nine golden tails arched up to the sky, controlling the sun shower to cover the entire area.

The expression on her face made all her subordinates silent before they gritted their teeth and stood in their place.

"Mother!"

"You too, Kunou. Take her away, now!"

A smaller golden nine-tailed Kitsune stared at Yasaka with tears swelling in her eyes, but one of the subordinates Youkai held her.

Yasaka couldn't afford to look back despite how unbearable it was, but then, her pupils shrank and all the fur of her tail stood up.

An enormous amount of energy brushed the area, rendering everyone breathless as Yasaka urged nature energy and initiated the barrier.

In the next second, a dazzling beam of light emerged from within the flames, flooding the scenery with a flash of blinding brilliance, and swept everything in Yasaka's direction.

*BOOOM!!!*

What was left of Yasaka's castle was razed to the ground followed by a massive explosion. The debris flew in the air like bullets and the heat wave ignited all the green landscape around the castle.

"Should I say how touching and so on?"

The waves of raging Fox Fire were pressed on the ground bizarrely and then Like someone crumpling a piece of paper, a spatial distortion twisted the flames before they were reduced to sparks.

Leo walked out unscratched and looked oddly at Yasaka's castle which was reduced to a pool of molten rocks.

He just had a feeling that he got ignored, even though everyone around was either staring at him with fear or hatred, especially that woman, who seems to be ready to sacrifice herself to bring him down.

But now, they are all gone and vanished into thin air.

Following the flow of natural energy, Leo looked at the sky as light particles descended like snow. One of the bright specks gently fell on Leo's empty fall and dimmed.

The radiance reflected in Leo's eyes as the space twisted, reinforced, and warped the area from within the light.

Leo's sight phased through space and locked on those Youkai inside some sort of an alternative space. "What with these people and alternative spaces? Are they so popular?"

Tempted to take out Yamato and slice everything up, Leo thought about it for a second and stood in his place, waiting calmly.

[######(DXD World's Will): What now? Your goal has already gone using the sunshower barrier. I assume you don't know what that is either.]

"Yup, but gone? Please, I would believe it if I was dealing with a logical person. But this woman is an idiot. I bet she'll come up with some genius idea like that guy who wanted to threaten me with my daughter to use the Dragon Veins for his goals, but now, I can confidently stop him! Using that alternative space or maybe stall for backup, and so on"

[######(DXD World's Will): The Fool calling people idiots?]

"Although it isn't a prideful thing, there is a difference between a fool and an idiot. Isn't that right, the harlot Tamamo copy of this world?"

Leo rolled his eyes before he glanced behind him to find Yasaka standing far away looking down at him and said "I wouldn't mind embracing the villainy and playing in your script, but I am in a bit of a hurry, so about the stabbing…"

However, the only response he received was a pair of slit pupils filled with wrath and hatred as well as blazing fox fire fueled by the energy of Dragon Veins.

For Yasaka, this situation is extremely unforgivable. The enemy came and blasted her entire castle, putting most of her daughter and subordinates in danger.

If she didn't react quickly and protect them--- The rage is like a flame consuming her reason, but Yasaka knows it isn't the time to fall for it.

The energy in nature responded to her thoughts and gathered from all around the land. The sunshower in the sky bloomed with a brilliant light.

In the next moment, Leo felt a strong fluctuation in the fabric of space descend on him. The world around him was reduced to a blur, making him lift his eyebrow before vanishing.

Everyone around him has disappeared, leaving him alone in a moderately huge artificial space.

"Did I just get exiled? This is new… Now what?"

Looking at the sunshower gently falling from the sky of this artificial space, Leo was at a loss for words.

Shouldn't these people drag him into 1vs1 in some artificial dimension to give time for their people to evacuate? Or maybe they are confident in the durability of their spaces?

Did he read that fox's intentions wrong? No. Although his eyes are slightly out of service, he doesn't really need them to figure out most people's ideas.

Suddenly, a giant fox head appeared faraway. It shared the same golden color as the previous Kitsune as blue flames burned between its fangs.

"Oh, there you are. List---"

A wave of blue flames was spat from the fox's mouth. The flames flooded the space and blasted Leo's location.

Leo raised his hand as space spun into a black point on his index finger. The flames in front were sucked by Tusk's wormhole, but his glasses weren't spared and got covered in ash and soot.

For some reason, this so-called sunshower barrier still has a similar design to the previous space and all the objects that were razed by Leo's light beam turned into ashes by Fox Fire and the result was Leo getting blasted by a cloud of smoke.

When it saw its attack didn't work, the giant fox showed a rather humanly solemn look before vanishing.

Not knowing where to appear and disappear, the fox will probably begin a round of harassment, which makes Leo's face darken.

{Hmm? That kid is a bit capable.}

Ddraig snorted and admitted that trying to buy some time using this barrier isn't a wrong decision, even more with the almost endless supplies of the Dragon Veins, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong target.

His gaze landed on Leo, who wiped his glasses clean while his eyebrow twitched, and shook his head.

It's over for this little Youkai because his partner got irritated. Ddraig sighed at the fate of that small fox before his eyes flashed because he felt the usually stable Longinus started operating stronger. His power was drawn over and merged with a huge amount of mana.

"Fire breath? Fox breath? Well… I admit it. It is my fault. I shouldn't have changed my reliable strategy"

Wisps of black fog gushed from within Leo's body as they covered his shoulders and head.

[######(DXD World's Will): You had a strategy? Count me surprised]

"Yeah…" A hoarse and thick voice sounded from within the fog. It didn't resemble anything human, but Ddraig blinked because it sounded a bit like him.

"Beat them first, talk later"

Leo's upper body began to change and grow in size as he opened his mouth. The mana stored inside the heart and lungs, as vast as an ocean, flocked towards his throat and spun into a point.

An azure point of light, bright as a star in the sky, flickered from within the darkness. The entire space started trembling at its presence as the natural energy congregated towards it.

"Ritsuka-san, are those tattoos on your hand?"

Misaka tilted her head in surprise when she saw the bright red command seals on Ritsuka's hand.

"Eh? No, these aren't tattoos…" Ritsuka answered only to feel the silent gazes of everyone around her.

Feeling embarrassed, Ritsuka cleared her throat and said "Um, okay, they are tattoos, but not quite right. These are catalysts of great magical energy. They are proof of a magi's position as a Master…"

Ritsuka briefly explained the commands seals to Misaka, but the latter rubbed her forehead and said "In short, it's a magical phenomenon from your world. At least you are alright now…"

Misaka whispered those few last words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The way Ritsuka was looking at those command seals earlier was a bit scary.

"*Sigh* This reminds me that apparently, magic exists in my world. Not that I know anything and 'some people' don't want to say anything!"

Misaka glared at Kaguya, who turned away calmly and pretended that nothing happened.

"Magic? As in 'Magic'?"

"Yes, Magic. Something like fire burns out of nowhere, without the need for oxygen and such. To hell with science laws. This is the magic in Misaka's world"

"Why… why are you telling her about my world while I am the most concerned here!" Misaka felt her head hurting. What with all of this discrimination.

Listening to Kaguya's explanation, Ritsuka sucked a cold breath and stared at Misaka with a bit of awe, which made the latter wave her hand and quickly say "Don't look at me like that. I'm fully a scientific Esper from Academy City and clueless as you are. How could magic exist under the whole world's watch, I still refuse this idea"

"Because it's magic?" Saitama raised his hand before slowly lowering it under Misaka's gaze.

"Fully scientific Esper, huh?" Kaguya whispered while giving Misaka a meaningful stare.

"Yeah, and Leo knows more about your world than you. Just admit he is the true powerhouse from your world" Leone waved her hand lazily.

"Ugh… No! He might be a good magician, but I am an Esper! Wait, why are you all ganging up on me?! Oh… I remember"

Misaka couldn't help but defend herself only to slowly shut up under the collective stares of everyone. The one who actually gave Leo the option to undertake the Power Circulars Program was her… This is embarrassing.

"Um… You don't have to feel bad. Lucifer (Leo) is much better than me in my world's magecraft too… Too much better"

"Using you as a comparison is unfair. Since when you were an even slightly competent magus. At least pick someone who has a usable value in comparison" Kazuma added from behind while focusing on a pile of dirt in front of him. His small amount of mana slowly infused inside and began to take a new shape.

"..."

"But why is the sadistic angel reaching out for the power of other worlds? Wasn't his own world enough for him? I sense a lot of potential in that world. Very cultured power…" Kazuma whispered to himself seriously as his eyes flashed.

"Dragons too, but who am I kidding? We all know the truth…" Kaguya shrugged helplessly.

"Didn't you say it was about b-bo… You know what you said!" Misaka felt her face hot and couldn't speak properly.

"A whole world about the apex phantasmal species. This shouldn't be taken lightly… Dragons aren't easy to deal with." Hearing Kaguya's words, Ritsuka became solemn.

"Are dragons really that amazing?" Misaka wondered if her world also had dragons and looked at Kaguya, but she clicked her tongue when the latter turned her face away again.

"Eh?"

Misaka's question startled Ritsuka before thinking seriously about it and said "I'm sorry. I don't know much details about dragons and my closet interaction with one of them would be the Beast of Babylon, but that is clearly a special case"

"However, it's common sense that dragons are being of high mystery, rivaling the gods. They have access to enormous amounts of mana and their physical capability is outstanding, but what is scarier is even the youngest dragon can cause massive destruction as they all can instantly utilize that huge amount of mana in a very violent and crude way…"

Urakyoto, the alternative dimension within Kyoto, lit up in the middle of the night. The flames and smoke danced in the darkness as the sky was dotted in brilliant golden color, falling gently as if it were a shower of light.

The dimension plunged into an uproar. An ear-splitting explosion echoed, awakening all the Youkai as they stared sluggishly at the wrecked area afar.

All is gone… Lady Yasaka's territory, the tall castle, and the big garden, all were turned into the wreckage. From above, the scene appeared to have been trampled by a shoe, leaving a large footprint.

The Youkais pinched themselves to make sure it wasn't a dream before they reacted and rushed… away, of course. Except for a select few, who are sure of their combat ability, most of the Youkai know that they are useless in such situations. Yet, they didn't panic or show any worry.

The Sunshower shining brilliantly in the night was like a spiritual pillar supporting all of them. This is the symbol of their leader, the core of Kyoto, and the strongest Daiyoukai of the Kyoto Faction. As long as it stands tall, they will never fall!

*Crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!*

Suddenly, the golden brilliance was eroded by azure cracks, crossing the sky as if blades were dividing the horizon.

In the stunned faces of the Youkai, the space around the sunshower swelled bizarrely and the fissures continued to spread. The leakage of mana made everyone's face change before a bright light swallowed everything.

*BOOOOM!!!*

Every sound was swallowed by a massive pillar of light, burning the horizon with azure color. The shockwave detonated the area as if a massive earthquake struck the entire space.

Just looking at it made the Youkai feel the scorching heat from the clash of the exaggerated amount of mana.

The spear-like beam pierced everything, grinding against the space border of Urakyoto before blasting it wide open, and soaring to the sky.

The poor clouds that didn't do anything wrong were cleared again. If someone looked from outside the planet, they will see a long azure line extending from Earth and passing next to the moon.

The huge fluctuation of mana alarmed almost everyone in Japan as they all looked in the direction of Kyoto to see the pillar of light dimming down, leaving a faint trail of light.

Silence—

The entire Urakyoto stared at the dissipating light beam in horror. The fragments of the crumbling alternative space seem to be mocking them as they unconsciously swallow.

Near the blast radius, Yasaka half kneeled on the ground in pain. Her robes and tails were stained with dust and burn marks.

Despite hiding behind the alternative space, she was reduced to such an embarrassing state. The attack wasn't even aimed at her, which made her helpless as the situation of Urakyoto reflected in her eyes.

{At least, Kunou has escaped…}

Knowing the target was yourself, Yasaka didn't hesitate to send her daughter away and bear the brunt of the attack.

She didn't know if her body was shaking from exhaustion or simply from fear of facing that attack again. As the leader of the West Youkai faction, she can't escape and leave her territory and subordinates, no matter the danger.

But as long as that bastard goal is the Dragon Veins… Yasaka gritted her teeth and stood up. However, a figure flashed before her eyes as she hurriedly warped herself with her tails.

*BAAM!!!*

The kick sends her flying as the world turns into a blur. Yasaka felt she was hit by the first of a giant and couldn't react properly because of the pain. In the next second, the figure appeared again above her.

Another kick came flying and struck the back of Yasaka's head as she barely hung on to her consciousness. Her body twisted into a shell, slamming into the ground, and formed a huge depression that spread fissures all over the area.

As a painful groan escaped Yasaka's lips, a gigantic twisted wooden cross tore through the air and pierced Yasaka's torso, pinning her to the ground, before the dust ascended in the air.

As Yasaka's cries filled the space, blood gushed like a fountain, but Leo fell on top of the cross, pushing it farther within as Yasaka felt her entire body hollowed of strength.

The pink-ruffled cross seemed to be absorbing all of her energy. But what frightened her the most was the fact that her link to the Dragon Veins was almost non-existent right now.

"To be fair, I have no idea what made you think that the Dragon Veins are your property and I need your consent" Leo shrugged the struggling Kyuubi look of hatred and said "If you want to sue me, call mother earth"

{This is why people shouldn't rush with their mental gymnastics…} Leo rolled his eyes and started forming the artificial node with Venom.

Leo's sleeves extended into several black tentacles and were attached to both the cross and Yasaka.

The cross shone with a faint gleam as the energy in nature ran through it, followed by Yasaka gritting her teeth in pain. Her connection to the Dragon Veins is the strongest and most delicate part and now someone is freely messing with it.

The philosophers really didn't deceive him. A beating makes people very negotiable. Leo nodded sagely before he focused on this fox.

He kept getting a strange vibe from her. A mother Kyuubi and daughter, living in Japan, leaders of Youkai, and her chest… This is…

"Yeah, I have no idea who this is. My cliché senses are going off tho…"

[######(DXD World's Will): WHAT?! How you don't know who she is?! Why are you here then?!]

"You see, my 'two anime seasons and mostly half of the third' level knowledge isn't helping, and You won't possibly think that I wouldn't notice the entire dragon veins in the area gathering on her?"

[######(DXD World's Will): You only saw those? This is weird, but I am sure there was…]

"I don't hate myself that much to check the novel and I have better things to waste my life on… Like taxes" Leo shook his head and scoffed at this World's Will messages.

For some reason, this World's Will is getting too talkative ever since they 'signed' that agreement. Too talkative that it made Leo feel he is followed by a narrator.

"Anyhow…"

Leo hopped off the cross and said to Yasaka, who was glaring daggers at him "I suggest not to try and pull this cross off, or you know, you'll die and the entire space here will crumble on your heads… So, yeah, don't pull it."

"Adios, harlot Tamamo copy" Leo waved and walked away as his figure began to blur.

[######(DXD World's Will): By the way, I have a Tamamo no Mae here.]

"Heeeeh?"

[######(DXD World's Will): But she is sealed]

"Figured"

Leo vanished into thin air, leaving Yasaka looking at the big cross that literally stole her position as the Dragon Veins core. Although with her vitality, this injury won't kill her, she didn't even have the strength to speak much less try and get out of this predicament.

Looking at the ceiling of Urakyoto that was smashed by Leo's dragon breath, recovering bit by bit, Yasaka felt a splitting headache alongside the pain.

Her daughter is safe and there weren't many casualties except the land and territory, but she is basically crippled and the entire world should have seen that light beam. The other forces would surely investigate what happened and the Youkai would get pulled into another whirlpool.

All of this was caused by a mentally ill person who talks with himself for no reason! No… Yasaka frowned and noticed something wrong after she calmed down. How could someone with such strength be a nobody? However, she hasn't heard of anyone that matches his features…

"Your expression tells me you are still in the fog, lady Yasaka. I hope you still can hear me properly, you took quite the unfortunate beating by 'him', after all"

"Y-You…" Yasaka's eyes widened looking at the person, who just appeared.

"Ignorance could be very deadly sometimes. I apologize for meeting you in such a state, Lady Yasaka, but I bet my impoliteness is excused. There is no helping it and you know why"

The tall man smiled and laughed heartily, but this didn't make Yasaka less uneasy.

"Why… are you… here, Azazel"

"Why am I here? Hmmm, beat me, I happened to be close and thought of passing by to say hello. But if you are asking why I am the first… Except for the adventurous me, I don't think those flocks will be happy to rush after they sensed that 'person' power, and I have to say… They are right" Azazel clicked his tongue and looked at the blasted ceiling of Urakyoto.

The residual fluctuation of mana gave him goosebumps just by imagining the attack that crushed the protection of two alternative spaces driven by the energy of Dragon Veins.

"Let's leave the formalities for later, I think we need to have a talk…" Azazel grinned and showed a row of white teeth, but his eyes solemnly stared at the shining cross, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Of course, you can refuse. I can't force you, but I bet it isn't in your favor to stay nailed on the ground… Last time I checked, crosses are for nailing on, not to nail people by"

"..."

"I DID IT!!"

Kazuma screamed and raised something above his head as if he were announcing his greatest masterpiece… a pile of dirt.

However, the dirt was squirming slowly and turning a stone on top of its head as if it were an eye.

"Behold, this is a golem made by me. Surprised? I am sure you didn't expect it…" Kazuma started boasting, but he noticed everyone staring at him silently and said "What?"

"That golem needs to be put down"

"Golemancy is rather a common type of magecraft"

"What are you supposed to do with a pile of dirt? It doesn't look useful at all"

"He'll eat, I guess. His situation is quite difficult, it brings me tears"

Kaguya, Ritsuka, Misaka, and Leone commented on the side and made Kazuma panic and hide the golem behind him and scream "What are you saying about my lovely golem! Keep your devilish thoughts for yourself! Just look how innocent and peaceful it is! Yet, you bunch of unstable menace to society bastards want to hurt it"

"I will never allow this" Kazuma hugged the golem as if he'll never give up on it, even if the pile of dirt began to melt on his arms and he couldn't move them.

"Are you sure it's alright? That thing looks like it's planning to devour him"

"He looks happy, so it's alright"

Kaguya and Leone whispered, but Kazuma still glared at them. How dare they call that whispering! He clearly heard everything! But then Kaguya noticed something and floated towards a shining egg head in the yellow su--- Saitama.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing much." Saitama messed around with the Chat Room window in boredom before saying "I don't know what I should be doing. What are we supposed to be doing here again?"

"Understand the function of the Chat Room better and figure out our capabilities to prepare"

"Oh, alright…" Saitama lowered his head to the Chat screen again in a daze while checking the clock in the window, wondering if he should leave now to line up first for the sales.

"This won't do…" Kaguya noticed this as she frowned before an idea flashed in her mind. A grin flashed on her flips before she pretended to talk to herself "It's unfortunate, I would love to see your power limits, but sadly Leo has already left. He would have been a good matchup against you"

Saitama's finger on the screen froze as his ears rose. Kaguya pretended she didn't notice and continued "That is completely busted, right now. A full-fledged higher existence beyond our dimension. Although Saitama has huge physical strength, it might not be effective against a conceptual being, not to mention all other magical shenanigans he could pull out. There is a huge chance Saitama would get tossed around."

"But it's a shame, Saitama was looking forward to a good fight after joining the Chat Room. I guess he could wait…"

Kaguya didn't finish her words as Saitama stood up abruptly and turned to look at her. His face was as deadpan as usual, but Kaguya saw a flame burning in his eyes that made her a bit nervous.

"Kaguya…"

"Yes"

"Leo… He can take a punch or two, right?"

"I am pretty sure he can take much more. Don't be stingy with him"

"..." Saitama didn't speak and lowered his head to look at his red glove. Finally, he can punch that bas… No, there is probably a good fight ahead. He looked forward to this for so long.

Come to think of it, Saitama found this very reasonable. The last time he watched the stream of Asgard, Leo showed a high level of power, but he somehow ignored it. Weird.

Looking at Saitama getting all excited while still wearing a deadpan expression, Kaguya sweated a bit. Her plan to hype Leo and encourage Saitama worked very well… too well than expected. Now, this would be either bad or too bad. In any case, her role ended, whatever happens, happens.

"Light speed ahead, Leo-san… Maybe Saitama would send you back to heaven where you belong" Kaguya wore a pensive expression while covering her face with the sleeve.

Suddenly, Whitebeard opened his eyes after a lot of thinking and walked toward Saitama. His eyes glared at Saitama from above and didn't speak, which made the latter scratch his head and say "Uh, good morning, did you sleep well?"

"Step aside, I have an unfinished fight with him"

"Why"

"Because I said so… and I came first"

"Didn't you just got tossed around randomly?"

"..."

Saitama and Whitebeard stared at each other without backing down as Kaguya slowly slipped away from the crossfire.

Things took the worst turn possible and she isn't holding any responsibility! However, she met the judgmental stares of the rest of the members.

"Um, I don't think that was necessary…" Ritsuka didn't know what to say.

"Why… Just when we calmed down" Misaka held her head in pain as Leone patted helplessly.

"You… You are a horrible being. Please continue, I look forward to your future" Kazuma tried to salute Kaguya's honorable sacrifice, but he found his hands tied by the golem.

"It's my pleasure, comrade Kazuma, but how could you do this? I don't remember this skill from your world?" Kaguya nodded at her comrade in war, then noticed the dirt golem warping around Kazuma's arms.

Kazuma showed a proud look and laughed before saying "Surely, you didn't see it. No, you probably never heard about it! This is a super-secret skill I got after rerolling my initial warfare… Well, not really rerolling because I am still stuck with the useless goddess, but I got something!"

"You have been bestowed by a Golemancy-related ability just like that?" Ritsuka was a bit surprised, but soon calmed down and reflected on herself.

This Chat Room showed her one surprise after another and doesn't have to tie herself to the logic of her world.

"Hah? Who told you this is golem-goleman… ahh, forget it, I'll just say, golem skill? No, this is much greater power" Kazuma grinned and raised his head proudly. If it wasn't for the golem tying him down like a mental illness straitjacket, it would have a better effect.

"Listen carefully, this is one of the hidden skills in my world, the creator! It belonged to a great researcher in the past, who made great achievements in the world! With this skill, I will change everything… What happened to you?" Kazuma was immersed in his fantasies until he noticed that Kaguya teleported and hid behind Ritsuka, looking at him with horror.

"You madman. I would ask you nicely to never step close to me as long as you have that skill active and I hope you'll have a peaceful death." Kaguya spoke from behind Ritsuka and gave Kazuma the death stare.

"Hmph, you just can't accept that I had such a unique and versatile ski—…" Kazuma scoffed at Kaguya's words, but then he fell down on the ground because his legs were also tied down by the golem.

"Wait, stop this now! I am your maker… I SAID STOP!!... Please, stop… Oi, are you trying to drown me in dirt!... Um… can someone help me? Maybe I messed up a little in creating this golem" Kazuma wiggled on the ground, but that only caused the golem to continue spreading on his body, rendering him immobile.

{It's doomed, all of it, we are all doomed. That skill has been unleashed on the rest of the world… Curse that World's Will!} Kaguya cursed the smiling Konosuba World's Will in her mind.

"How did you get this again?" Misaka poked the wiggling layer of dirt on Kazuma's body and didn't know how this thing was moving. Magic?

"I said I rerolled, but if you want to really know… Guess! All of you always like to play riddles with me! Now, it's my turn!" Kazuma laughed, but then he saw everyone move away, leaving him and the golem alone.

"Anyway, since everyone is fired up… well, at least excited, we can continue. Listen, it's just a few minutes of figuring out what to do and then we can all leave, don't make it difficult" Kaguya's voice lowered at the end as her smiling face made Ritsuka and Misaka swallow unconsciously.

"Alright? Let's begin with, Ritsuka… Can you actually summon servants here?"

"OI! Don't pretend I don't exist! This isn't funny! Please, it's almost reaching my neck!!"

Meanwhile, in DXD world, Nara prefecture. The dawn shone on an elegant and gigantic resident standing tall in the middle of a vast forest, rich with a sacred and ancient atmosphere.

Various people wearing the attire of Shinto priests and others wore military uniforms, shuttled in the mansion and courtyard. They seemed in a hurry as they continued to prepare to welcome very special guests arriving today.

These were all individuals related to the top pillars of the supernatural power users in Japan, which isn't strange because this is one of the main and most important locations of the Five Principal Clans, the Inner Sanctuary.

The Fine Principal Clans are the leading figures in the supernatural forces in Japan. Their fervent faith and strict worship of Shintoism allowed them to have a connection to Shinto Gods for generations.

And today, these five clans are holding a meeting and a welcome to a very important figure from overseas, escorted by several strong figures that can't be underestimated from Grigori.

As such, the Five Principal Clans have to show their majesty, preparing for the important assembly as all of the current Five Clans' heirs and the important elders are attending this assembly.

Within the resident, a tall man stood respectfully with his eyes closed in front of the entryway to the hall. The man was cladded in a powerful aura that made all other figures from the Five Clans unable to stare at him straight.

He wore a military uniform that was not much different from the previous figures, but his stand and other people's attitude showed that he was on a whole nother level.

Ouryuu Nakiri, or in his true name, Nakagami Nakiri, is the current head of the Nakiri Clan from the Five Principal Clans. As the heir of the Nakiri Clan, Nakagami is the host of the Sacred Beast Yellow Dragon (Ouryuu) and is hailed as the strongest Ouryuu in history.

{They are a bit late, but there is no need to worry. Byakko and Genbu have already made contact…} Preparing himself for the meeting, Nakagami couldn't help but think about the recent events and the important guest coming.

The board chairman of the magic association, Mephisto Pheles, the demon of legend summoned by Georg Faust, the renowned astrologer, necromancer, and alchemist.

The meeting originally was supposed to be held two days from now, but for some reason, Mephisto Pheles insisted on pushing it forward because of some 'complications' that happened in the magic association.

However, Nakagami always felt something was wrong. Mephisto Pheles might sound cheerful and easygoing, but you can't forget that this is an ancient demon that existed from the time of the first Four Satans.

The magic association faced a difficulty that forced Mephisto to rush back, but he still insisted on finishing the meeting first. Would this be giving the Five Clans respect? No, Nakagami knew that was unlikely.

The association has a very important position for Mephisto and he can't risk it for just a meeting, unless…

{He faced a difficulty that he can't deal with alone…} Nakagami opened his eyes slightly as a dangerous light flashed within them. However, he is aware that assumption will always be an assumption until---

Suddenly, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, Nakagami's aura skyrocketed and manifested into a golden flare on his body before he slammed to the right. The space distorted at this strike as the energy within the earth flocked and boosted the power even more.

This seemingly casual strike that would have made even the Four Satan not take it lightly was a bit pale in comparison to an azure flame manifesting from thin air beside Nakagami. Despite the shape, the flames were simply just a ridiculous amount of mana forcibly materializing because of sheer force.

The pressure even pushed Nakagami's hair backward despite the protection of Earth energy.

This devastating force was carried on a single foot as it slammed straight into his fists.

*BOOOM!!!*

On this day, the ever-calm Inner Sanctuary of the Five Principal Clans shook and trembled as if an earthquake struck the area, startling all the figures inside.
