73 Defeat two Heavenly Dragon owners in one day

Vali had actually been watching all the fights in this place since the beginning.

He even watched his destined rival, the Red Dragon Emperor.

He was excited when he first saw him, even Albion wanted him to fight with him because the other party also seemed to have grown as powerful as an ultimate-class being, even though he was human.

Vali's fighting intent surged at that time and he really wanted to fight with Issei. However, what disappointed him was...

Putting aside the actions of that Red Dragon Emperor who seemed to be crazy about making the girls there fall in love with him. Honestly, he felt his rival was disgusting for using the draconic aura to perform such actions.

But what disappointed him the most was that the Red Dragon Emperor was defeated by the devil of the house of Gremory.

He naturally knew how strong the devil of the house of Gremory named Rias Gremory was from the battle earlier, and he knew the other party was also very strong.

Even so, given his mission to save Kokabiel, he was not afraid of strong people.

Instead, he was eager to fight with anyone who dared to stand in him way of completing his mission!

"Um... Vali, I think this is a bad idea." Albion who was now in the form of silver armor could not help but say to his host.

"Do you think I can't defeat Rias Gremory, just like my rival, Albion? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But look, isn't Rias Gremory already exhausted after the previous battle?"

"She's definitely not as strong as before. Although I don't like fighting people this way, but if it's to complete my mission, I'll do it, even if it means fighting everyone here."

"I am Vali Lucifer after all! This generation's White Dragon Emperor! How could I possibly back down in the face of a challenge!"

"...." Albion paused. Actually he didn't tell Vali to retreat, but can you do it with other methods than violence? Although he also likes violent methods as a Dragon, but Vali, you seem to forget the existence of your teammates here which means something.

People originally wanted to ask who the man with the Gundam-like silver armor was, especially Rias who frowned at the other party wanting to ask Kokabiel from her.

But before she could ask anything, the man introduced himself and it turned out that he was Vali Lucifer!

This generation's White Dragon Emperor!

But so what?

Rias was annoyed that this person was so arrogant to ask her for something, without even asking and more like an order and a threat.

As the Heir of Gremory who naturally had pride, she couldn't help but be annoyed with Vali who acted as if he was above her.

"Vali! You came? Azazel told you to do it, right? Thank you and get me out of here quickly!"

Kokabiel really looks like a loser. What war veteran? What Great War survivor? With your current appearance, you look like a little villain character who wants to run away immediately after knowing your evil plan failed.

Vali looked at Kokabiel who was standing behind him indifferently. "Yes, Azazel told me to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to save your ass, Kokabiel."

Although Kokabiel felt insulted that Vali seemed to look down on him, he was glad that this junior in his faction had actually come to his rescue.

So he nodded and let the other party solve the problem for him.

Seeing Kokabiel, who was a coward not long ago, suddenly looking at her with pride because someone came to his rescue.

Rias was getting annoyed.

She stared coldly at the two men in front of her.

The weapon in her hand also buzzed with a crimson light that made Kokabiel hide behind Vali in fear, and Vali himself frowned.

"Wanting to take Kokabiel away just like that after causing trouble in devil territory and planning to trigger a war by taking the heads of me and the other people here."

"I remember Emperor White Dragon, you're also from Gregori, just like Kokabiel, right?"

Vali nodded arrogantly. "Yes, I'm half devil and human, I'm also the owner of the Vanishing Dragon, Albion. I don't really care about either faction, but it's true that I'm also part of Grigori and here to complete my mission to bring back Kokabiel to the organization."

"So Rias Gremory, you and the others can't stop me."

"Oh?" Rias smiled indifferently.

Vali was dumbfounded, he barely reacted when his body was already hit until it was thrown into the sky. And Rias Gremory, she saw the girl stab Kokabiel with her drill-like weapon.

"No! Stop it!! Rias Gremory!! You can't kill Kokabiel! If you do, aren't you afraid of your devil faction going to war with Grigori?!"

Vali howled in the sky, he certainly wanted to fly back immediately to save Kokabiel, but his body was suddenly locked inside the water ball.

It was Sona, she did it to help Rias, but she was also worried because after hearing what Vali said. She also realized that killing Kokabiel was not a good idea.

"Ahhh! Stop Rias Gremory! Vali, help me- Ahhh!!! It hurts!!! It hurts!!!"

Kokabiel screamed in pain, as her body was currently pinned to the ground by Rias' weapon that spun as if drilling into her stomach.

"Don't worry, I know it's not a good thing to kill you. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't torture you after all the trouble you've caused, right?"

Rias smiled sadistically, if Eiji saw her at this moment, he felt this girl learned something from him.

No, wait, it looks like this girl is more sadistic than him, right?

"Ahh! Ahh! Stop! Stop! Please... Rias Gremory- ahhhh!!!"

Sona didn't expect Rias to be this sadistic and cruel, but she didn't stop her because at least the girl knew not to kill Kokabiel.

"....." Akeno, Tsubaki, Saji and the others shuddered as they saw the blood spurting from Kokabiel who was being drilled by Rias.

It was honestly their first time seeing such a cruel scene, and they didn't expect to see it from a girl as beautiful as Rias.

Kuroka was used to the sight of blood, but she covered her sister's eyes with her hands so as not to see the cruel sight.

"....." Koneko.

When Kokabiel was cruelly tortured and Vali was trapped inside a giant water ball. Someone in the darkness wanted to jump out immediately, but he refrained when he saw that Vali could get out of the water ball.

-Boom!

Vali and his armor were soaked, he didn't expect escaping Sona Sitri's water magic to be troublesome enough to make him keep doing "Divide" dozens of times just to divide the water magic until it disappeared.

Sona was a little surprised to see Vali break free from his water prison. She was about to cast magic again, but Vali immediately darted towards Rias who was torturing Kokabiel.

"Rias Gremory! I'm warning you to stop right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking you seriously!"

"Vali, I think you should give up, Nyaa!"

Kuroka shouted from a distance, as part of Vali's team, she should certainly at least warn her that it was not a good idea to fight Rias, especially when the girl was also one of Eiji's women like herself.

Vali of course already knew Kuroka was also here from earlier, but he ignored her for the time being because what was more important to him now was his mission!

He had to bring Kokabiel back to Grigori!

However, that girl, Rias Gremory didn't even glance at him and continued to torture Kokabiel with a sadistic smile.

Vali was angry, he felt humiliated to be ignored by someone.

He literally darted towards the crimson-haired girl and used his compression ability to split everything, especially one's body.

He planned to make Rias Gremory at least lose an arm or something, but the girl's indifferent gaze glanced at him and she raised her weapon towards him.

The familiar crimson light like a laser exploded from the tip of her weapon and it actually targeted him!

"Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide...."

Vali continued to divide the attacks coming towards him, he continued to do so until....

Droplets dripped down his face which was covered by an iron headdress.

"Vali! I told you this was a bad idea! We're overloaded! If you keep absorbing and dividing the girl's power of destruction, you, no. We'll explode! We'll explode!" Albion complained as the Gundam wings on Vali's back kept flashing with blue light as if panicking about something.

His Balance Breaker mode also had its limits, okay? If the attacks his host wanted to absorb and share exceeded his capacity. It was fine if it was him when he was still a majestic white dragon, but now? Made into Sacred Gear by the God of the Bible, his power has been greatly restricted unless his host is able to unlock all his features.

And Vali had not been able to do so, his Balance Breaker mode was not enough to deal with the crimson-haired girl's attacks.

"Then what should I do?!" Vali also started to panic.

"....." Albion had a crazy idea.

"Vali, maybe you should let yourself get hit by that girl and you can pretend to faint so Azazel can take care of the rest."

"Wh-What? How could I, I'm Vali Lucifer, Emperor of the White Dragon..."

"You don't have much choice Vali! Also, did you really forget Kuroka was here? If she's here, there's a chance that the man who defeated you in that one attack also showed up!"

"Instead of making trouble with him with your current power, it's better to feign unconsciousness after receiving this attack."

"....." Hearing the man who defeated him in one attack, Vali stopped babbling. He even stopped saying "Divide, Divide, Divide".

What happened after he even stopped absorbing and dividing Rias' attacks with his abilities?

Isn't it obvious?

-Boom!!!

The sky was once again colored with fireworks and with this Rias was the world record holder who managed to beat two Heavenly Dragon owners in one day.

"..."

"..."

"..."

-Thud

Vali was lying on the ground with shattered armor and a body full of wounds.

People naturally thought the White Dragon Emperor was unconscious, just like the Red Dragon Emperor before him.

But Kuroka had a strange expression as she looked at the unconscious Vali in the distance.

With her Senjutsu, she clearly sensed that Vali was still conscious, yet somehow he pretended to be unconscious.

"This is strange, Nyaa. What exactly is Vali doing?"

At this moment, when Kokabiel was getting desperate and Rias was about to make the fallen angel pay for the trouble he caused today.

The crimson-haired girl frowned.

She wondered why so many people cared about Kokabiel?

Okay he was indeed one of the leaders of the Grigori, the fallen angel faction, but... Damn, couldn't these people stop showing up after she defeated them one by one?

"Vali! Kokabiel!"

A bearded man with black hair and golden bangs appeared. From his wings, it was clear that he was also a fallen angel, and from his 10 pairs of wings. He was definitely not an ordinary character.

Rias and Sona knew the man was the leader of the most famous Grigori in the supernatural world.

He was Azazel!

"Azazel, you should know who started first, right? We devils are just defending ourselves."

Putting aside Vali who was pretending to faint, but Kokabiel who was still stuck on the ground vomiting blood heard what Rias said.

You did defend yourself, but you retaliated against me more viciously.

"Heir Gremory, Heir Sitri..."

Although Azazel wanted to take care of the wounds of his foster son, Vali and bring back one of his generals, Kokabiel to be punished in Grigori for planning to start a war.

However, he has also been watching everything from the beginning and slyly continues to see if Kokabiel succeeds, or if Vali will also successfully complete the mission to stop Kokabiel at the last moment he gave him?

In the end both failed and it was because they underestimated the Gremory heiress and Sitri from the underworld, especially Rias Gremory. The girl was almost as fearsome as her older brother on the battlefield.

To have a good young seedling like this... The devil faction will definitely get stronger in the future.

To be honest, Azazel had the idea of killing Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri to reduce the threat of the devil faction in the future, but he quickly dismissed the idea from his head because the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

Sirzechs and Serafall would definitely not stay silent after he killed their younger sister. And those two Maou from the underworld, especially the latter would definitely not hesitate to start Devil and Fallen Angel war.

Azazel was a pacifist, he liked peace and didn't like war, although he was cunning and he was currently thinking of talking to the two Devil heirs.

"Azazel, are you also going to be as unreasonable as the White Dragon Emperor over there?"

Sona stood beside Rias and pointed at Vali who was lying on the ground.

"Of course not, I will definitely compensate you for the trouble Kokabiel caused by making trouble in your territory. As long as you let me take Kokabiel and Vali away, I will definitely compensate you satisfactorily."

Azazel said that to the two girls in front of him while secretly glancing at his friend, Kokabiel with pity. He certainly didn't want to see his comrade-in-arms die.

Even now when he saw Kokabiel being tortured by a young devil like Rias, he could not bear it. If not worried about any consequences. He would have attacked the aged Rias to save his friend.

"Azazel... You... You saved me, I- ahhhh!!"

"Heir Gremory! Isn't this enough?!"

Seeing Kokabiel being stabbed again by Rias' drill-like weapon, Azazel lost his composure and wondered why Sirzechs' younger sister was so cruel? Sirzechs was not even cruel and sadistic like this.

Who taught this girl to be so cruel at her age? She must have been influenced by someone.

Eiji: "....."

"Rias, I think we should agree to Azazel's offer." Sona said that to the crimson-haired girl.

Rias frowned, she knew what Sona said was indeed a good choice. However, she felt very uncomfortable being so submissive when someone who originally wanted to take her head was taken away by someone else.

Azazel looked at Sona happily.

See? Heiress Sitri seems to be easier to talk to than the others!

Seeing Azazel and even Kokabiel's happy expressions, Rias' expression became a little ugly.

She certainly didn't plan to kill Kokabiel because she knew it would make the relationship between the Devil and Fallen Angel factions even worse and there was a possibility of triggering a war.

But at the very least, Kokabiel should be punished in a more painful way to make him truly regret it, right? If she let Azazel bring Kokabiel back to his organization, she didn't know what kind of light punishment the crazy man who previously wanted to kill him, Sona and all her peerage would get.

"Rias, accept Azazel's offer. There's no point in prolonging this conflict."

A masculine and soft voice rang out. Rias and Sona were the most dumbfounded.

"Onii-sama! Grayfia and even Serafall-sama, since when are you guys here?!"

"Onee-sama!"

Coming to the venue were Sirzechs and his wife, Grayfia.

There was also Serafall who immediately embraced her younger sister, Sona.

"My Sona-chan! You were so cool before! Onee-chan was surprised you were that strong!"

"....." Sona blushed, feeling embarrassed and happy that her older sister saw how strong she was now.

But someone didn't seem happy about their arrival.

"No! Onii-sama, how can we just let Kokabiel go! She even tried to kill me and the others earlier."

"You should have seen it too, but you didn't come out and help me. If I wasn't as strong as I am now, I would have already died and even become that perverted boy's toy!"

"Onii-sama! Don't you care if something bad happens to me!"

The perverted boy Rias was referring to was of course Issei and she was surprised that her older brother seemed to be just hiding while watching it without doing anything back then?

Rias was disappointed in her older brother, even though she didn't plan on asking for his help from the start, but if the person in question was watching from earlier. Why didn't her older brother come, especially when Issei might have actually managed to brainwash her if she didn't have something from Eiji.

She also looked at Grayfia and wondered why that woman didn't move to help her either if they were watching from the start?

Grayfia who received Rias' gaze felt guilty. It was true that she, Sirzechs, and Serafall were watching everything from the beginning. As someone who could hear the inner voice about the plot that would happen today, she would have told her husband that something bad might happen to Rias and the others at school.

Serafall had even come to them at that time and they had secretly watched Kokabiel's arrival from the start. She and Serafall would have wanted to finish Kokabiel early, but somehow Sirzechs didn't let them do so and kept persuading them to watch.

They were even surprised that Sirzechs still persuaded them to watch when Issei wanted to do something to Rias and Sona. Luckily both of them were fine, otherwise Serafall would have blamed Sirzechs for making him too late to save his little sister.

And here they were now, finally Sirzechs let them out and be seen in front of everyone.

Sirzechs was receiving disappointed looks from his younger sister and unpleasant looks from the others. He certainly felt a little uncomfortable, but he smiled at his younger sister.

"Rias, you misunderstand. It's not that I don't care about you, but I...." For some reason Sirzechs seemed slow to answer as if he was looking for an excuse, which made Rias look at him with sadness and disappointment.

Even Grayfia, she started looking at her husband with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. To be honest from the start, she also did not understand why Sirzechs insisted on keeping quiet and watching as her younger sister faced one problem after another in front of her eyes.

At this moment the sound of footsteps and a boy's voice familiar to all women rang out.

"Well... Am I late?"

[Even though Rias and Sona said they could handle Kokabiel alone. In the end I got worried and came over, especially when protagonist was also here.]

A/N 2: I hate this arc. Only because I follow canon. Please endure 1 more chapter tomorrow and finally this boring arc ends. As I said in the previous few chapters. I'm not satisfied with this Excalibur arc, and honestly politics is not my forte. I'll even do a time skip later because I really don't like what I wrote in this arc. But that's okay, this is a lesson for me not to force myself into a field that I'm not good at.
