After killing all the wizards, Drako stood in front of Walburga.
After killing all the magicians, Drako had reached level 74. If he killed Walburga, there was no doubt that he could reach the level needed to evolve.
However, Drako had no plans to kill Walburga today. She was necessary, very necessary, for the development of this world to be as Drako wants it to be.
Hexennacht is an important part of the Khaos Brigade. Without Walburga, Rizevim could not have freed the Trihexa. Therefore, Drako needed Walburga to support Rizevim in the future.
The magicians who attacked when Vali betrayed Azazel belong to this organization. All of those mages were more powerful than the ones Drako had killed today, as they had power comparable to a Mid-Class Devils.
There were tens or even hundreds of magicians in that attack, which meant a lot of experience for Drako.
Killing Walburga was going to give Drako a lot of experience, but it wasn't the best option he could take. Besides, it was better to kill her when she had the Longinus Incinerate Anthem in her hands since Drako would get much more experience.
"Onii-san! You're so cool!"
Walburga sucked her finger erotically, while the free hand was inserted into her skirt. The characteristic smell of female pheromones reached Drako's nose, so he knew she wasn't faking masturbation.
Without a doubt, Walburga was a pervert. And she didn't bother to hide it.
Drako approached her, making Walburga blush. Her breathing became erratic as her hand movements accelerated.
If Drako were to describe what he was feeling seeing this, he would only need a word.
Disgust.
Drako was feeling disgusted at seeing Walburga's behaviour. She was crazy, and he didn't want anything to do with her.
Drako grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up, slowly suffocating her. The only reaction Walburga had was to stick out her tongue like a dog, and she accelerated the movement of her hand even more.
She was a masochist.
To tell you the truth, Drako was enjoying this feeling of domination. He felt that he could do anything he wanted with her, anything. He could rape Walburga, and she wouldn't say anything, and she would even kneel down in front of him to ask for more.
In other words, he could make Walburga his sex slave if he wanted to. And that gave him an incredible sense of satisfaction.
Still, he didn't want that; despite how much satisfaction it gave him.
Walburga was a walking bomb, a danger to Drako. She might not do anything to him personally, but the same could not be said for the rest of them.
If Drako made Walburga his personal slave, he had no doubt that she would try to be his only sex slave. She would try to eliminate anyone who threatened her place with Drako.
Drako clenched his fist, and he punched Walburga in the stomach.
She automatically lost consciousness, but she seemed to have climaxed at the same time.
Drako left her body on the floor, and he asked.
"Did I do a good job?"
"You're not going to kill her?"
Thalia came out of hiding.
Seeing how Drako had killed all the wizards without hesitation, she wondered why he hadn't done the same to the leader. The logical thing to do would be to finish her off now, so he could get to the root of the problems.
"I have my own plans," Drako responded.
He was not going to explain to her that in the future, Walburga was going to be one of the leaders of the most significant terrorist organization.
Thalia respected Drako's decision. Her job was to supervise Drako, not get involved in all this trouble.
Artemis' hunters didn't get involved in politics or anything like that. They just had to fulfil the missions their Goddess gave them.
So far, Drako was fulfilling the mission perfectly. He had only used the bow, and had not had any losses.
She was a bit surprised at the ease with which Drako had finished off the wizards. If it were not for the power of his arrows, Drako would not have been able to kill the wizards so easily.
They may not be the most talented, but one could not underestimate a group of wizards. But those shields shouldn't be so easy to penetrate, especially after Walburga's help. Even for the special arrows of Artemis' slayers, it would take two or three arrows to destroy one of those shields.
These arrows were abnormally powerful. Thalia still remembered the sense of danger she had felt from those arrows.
Suddenly, Drako was alarmed.
Thalia had felt the same as he, too, as they both looked in the same direction. Tobio and the others had gone in that direction.
"A Sacred Gear."
Drako remembered that there was a member of Satanael's team who had a Sacred Gear transfer type. They had set a trap for Drako and the rest.
Maybe they didn't expect Drako to be left behind. So, he could go straight to help Lavinia.
Drako received a telepathic message from Mordred.
"Master, the rest of the group has appeared here. Satanael seems to be interested in them, what do I do?"
"Let him talk, the more information he reveals, the better for us. In case of a fight, don't kill him. He's a good source of experience, especially the Abyss Team. And, even if we don't kill him, they're going to become the foundation for Tobio's growth and the rest. When Satanael retires, I want you to take everyone except Valina. Our mission was to recover the two remaining Shi Akuma, and that's already been accomplished. Send Valina with me when you're done with all that."
"I understand."
Drako cut off communication with Mordred. He trusted that she could carry out the orders he had given.
Now, Drako had to go and support Lavinia.
The last time Lavinia fought Augusta, they seemed pretty evenly matched. However, he knew that Augusta was only playing with Lavinia.
It was impossible that Lavinia, who had only been practicing magic for a few years, could fight an old witch like Augusta.
It's true that Lavinia is a rare genius, but Augusta is no ordinary wizard.
Drako headed in the direction Lavinia was, and Thalia followed him.
As he went along, Drako felt the change in the atmosphere. There were bursts of cold and heat, and this increased as he approached Lavinia.
Obviously, the ice was coming from Lavinia and the fire from Augusta. The Longinus of both were altering the climate of this area. You could see the destruction in the forest created by fire and ice.
The crying of the forest reached Drako, which unconsciously caused pain in Drako. Not physical pain, but a psychological one.
The trees had been burned to the point where they melted, while others had been completely frozen.
Although there were still hundreds of feet left, the loud explosions of the battle could already be heard.
Drako accelerated, stepping out of the forest, and reached a large river surrounded by large boulders. Lavinia and Augusta stood face to face on each side of the river.
Both had several magical circles in front of them and were staring at one another.
Next to each of them were their Longinus. The giant ice doll was next to Lavinia, while a purple giant was next to Augusta.
Lavinia created a lot of spears of ice from the magic circles and threw them to Augusta. The witch did not stand idly by and counterattacked with several arrows of fire. Both spells generated a strong impact.
Next to Augusta, a fire giant was holding a gigantic cross that began to swing with great force. The moment it was swung, a great deal of flame of indescribable intensity appeared. Those flames were directed at the ice princess.
The giant ice princess crossed her four arms, and many ice sheets appeared. These were thrown towards the fire giant.
Giant flames and giant pillars of ice collided, creating a huge explosion.
Drako sensed how dangerous the attacks by the two Longinus were. Even with his dragon form, even with all the best he could get, he would be hurt if any of those attacks fell on his body.
"A battle between two Longinus. Magnificent."
Even Thalia felt the danger of seeing this tremendous fight. They were not Longinus for nothing.
Even with his improved arrows, Drako felt he wasn't going to have enough impact in the fight. The normal attacks of the two Longinus were at the same level as those arrows.
If Drako really wanted to support Lavinia, he would have to use a Noble Phantasm...
Lavinia and Augusta were facing a tough battle, but Drako knew this was only the beginning.
For Lavinia, this was just a warm-up. Drako, who had been with her for several months, knew that she was capable of much more than this. Of course, the same went for Augusta.
Of the magical circles the two had created, not only fire and ice were produced. There were also attacks by water, wind, lightning, arrows of light, a great deal of dark magical aura, and numerous other extraordinary phenomena.
All of these powerful attacks impacted the river, destroying it in the process.
Augusta had a cheerful smile, while Lavinia kept a neutral expression.
Then, they seemed to notice Drako's arrival. Thalia had already gone into hiding, not wanting the presence of one of Artemis' slayers to be detected.
"Oh, so we have a little guest."
Seeing that Drako had arrived, Lavinia was able to relax a little.
"I'm here to help you, Lavinia."
Hearing Drako's words, Augusta scoffed.
"Little boy... you know what? If you get in the way of a battle of Longinus bearers, you'll end up dead. You're no match for the Ice Princess' level of magic, let alone mine."
Contrary to Augusta's expectations, Drako nodded. Though he was strong, he also knew his own limitations. Though he had improved, it was still difficult to face an experienced Longinus user on his own.
He was not fighting alone, however. Lavinia was with him, and there was one more attendant.
The forest.
Drako's [Touki] skill was at level 4, which added 40% to all his stats.
But right now, they were in the woods.
Thanks to the skill [The One Who Is Loved By Nature], Drako could receive natural energy from the forest. In this case, [Touki] went up a level.
"[Touki] I know. I couldn't win against you if this was a 1 vs 1, in normal cases. However, you are alone while we are a team."
A grey aura began to surround Drako's body. It was Touki's aura.

-------------------------------------------------
It was a big improvement on Drako's stats.
He was still far from being able to fight at the same level as Augusta and Lavinia in their human form, but he only had to support Lavinia. Besides, Augusta was still a human, a single arrow was enough to end her life.
It was a shame that Drako could not use his dragon form, as it would make this fight much easier. The trial Artemis had given him did not allow him to do that.
"It is a pity, I would like to see the girl from the Black Lion. I want to see how Grigori has handled his situation."
"I wish you wouldn't bring others into this conversation," Lavinia warned.
Augusta smiled brightly.
"Is that so? You know what, though? That was something we gave to Satanael and the Utsusemi Agency. Glenda's research was really useful, you know? It's all thanks to Glenda who took care of the little ice princess."
"So, they forcibly stole Oshishou-sama's information..."
On hearing those words, Augusta let out a smile...
"Kukukuku..."
Drako had a terrible feeling.
