In his right hands stood tall one of the strongest weapons available within the series, the tool used to kill Jesus Christ himself.

The True Longinus, The Holy Spear of the Setting Sun.

The very reason that got this douchebag to actually be able to muster up this big of a group with his charismatic ways and his manipulative words.

Cao Cao is what Kiritsugu Emiya would genuinely despite, the true representation of a Hero of Justice that lacked any morality over the world.

All of his actions were meant to be considered as good things, to be never questioned as the detractors were just… villains.

I really didn't want to be there, but at least the sight offered me the chance of calling off the attack.

"Sir, we have a big problem here," I muttered quietly, ignoring the sudden nervous tension taking Vali's body, his crouching form tensing up at the scene unfolding before his eyes. "I don't think the assault will work."

"Explain."

I sighed. "Sir… I don't think I can count them all but, they got a fuckton of heroes here," I replied slowly and nervously, starting to hate this very situation I had been put into. "Descendants from Demi-gods, they are all here."

"That's… That's preposterous. Are you sure that-"

"It will not work," Vali admitted in a shocked voice. "There's just so many of them."

…

"I will call off the attack. I want a full report once you two are out of there and… be careful," The man concluded with a dismayed tone, the quick conversation finished there.

Just as I nodded at the order, prepared to comply to those as quickly as possible as I really didn't need to stay there any longer… my ears caught the distinct noises of something familiar.

Some chains rattling by the lower floor. Curiosity urged me to take another glance and… I saw a cage right down the staircase that connected the upper floor to the main one.

I blinked as I saw orange eyes looking at me with an intense and fearful look, her lips twitching in a note of sadness while tears were rolling off her cheeks.

The locks of her light-plum hair parted to show the full degree of fear that was present on her face, her hands kept bound by what looked some tight chains connected to the center of the cage.

Her white dress sported some cuts that offered some more sight over her pale skin, yet nothing truly concerning or awkward about her body.

She blinked, begging with her eyes for me to come and help her and I felt the need to do so, but not just out of kindness.

Ingvild Leviathan was the host of Nereid Kyrie, a powerful Sacred Gear which was able to not only boost the powers of Dragons… but also weaken them enough to be subjugated. That and also control the sea… and an entire ocean if needed.

The power itself was administered through her voice, singing with the ability activated the effects would suddenly improve or paralyze the people that had Dragon-like attributes, and I was quite sure that neither Ophis nor Great Red could shrug it off without some massive efforts from their parts.

I don't know how the fuck Cao Cao captured her, nor I was sure why she was here so soon. The only thing I knew for certain was that if Ingvild was left as one of the Khaos Brigade's captive, things would just end up far worse than in Canon.

Things had changed alright up until now… but this was a complete twist I just couldn't properly see happening right now.

Still, my left hand reached out and took hold of Vali's arm, forcing the young Lucifer to a pause as his head snapped back at me in a state of annoyance and panic.

"What?" His tone was quiet, but his irritation was still there.

I didn't say anything, merely pointing at the cage and at the girl, her orange eyes moving to Vali and soon we were locked in a couple of seconds wasted silently.

Finally, the young man spoke. "Who is she?"

The inquiry was met with a nod. "That's… a Devil-Human hybrid," I decided to reply with a hint of 'uncertainty'. "And her magical reserves are-"

"Absurdly big for someone her age. Plus she doesn't seem meant to battle."

I nodded at him and we stood quietly once more, my thoughts conflicting about what I was supposed to do in that instance.

While I was certain that with proper attention we could get her out of there without drawing any attention on us, and retreat safely away from the building, there was always the variable of some guard perching around that I might have failed to spot on there.

I had this odd feeling that the situation was even worse than it looked like, yet I couldn't see anything that could genuinely prove this emotion to be truthful.

Perhaps I was just feeling overly-nervous and imagining that there was something much worse to restrain myself from putting myself that close to the prime danger.

But considering the state of circumstances, I needed to take this risks for the sake of avoiding a stronger Khaos Brigade. If the Evil Dragons were already strong in Canon, I was afraid of even pondering at the chance of dealing with boosted versions of those.

So I gave a nod not only to my companion, but to myself as I had my mind set for some tactical rescuing.

"We need to get her out of there."

Vali tensed up at my words, understanding that there was some uncertainty in those, and he sighed.

"It isn't a good idea. Even I know that this isn't the best place to try anything like that-"

"If she isn't taken out of there, Gods know how many bad ramifications this choice will have."

Grumbling quietly, the blue-masked dummy decided to comply to my words, starting to follow me up as we stopped by the staircase.

"How are we supposed to avoid getting caught by them?" He inquired angrily, his voice still quiet enough to be considered a whisper.
