Tobio Ikuse (3)

Valina jumps the moment I mention there are more people in the place.

"Hey, so these are the weak ones Azazel was talking about."

Her attitude and personality take a 180-degree turn. She seems like a totally different person.

This "new" side of Valina is a mask she puts on to make herself look stronger and more intimidating.

Although I don't think that's the right choice of words to introduce two new members of your team, Valina. Especially since one of them seems to be in a bad mood.

"Huh, who are you calling weak, little girl?"

That's right, Kouki jumps at the first provocation. This was something I expected from the moment the words came out of Valina's mouth.

"Obviously you two, idiot."

"Do you want a fight?"

Kouki gets up and faces Valina. It's funny from a certain point of view since Kouki is only a little shorter than me while Valina doesn't exceed 150cm.

Valina seems a little pensive as she looks at Kouki when a wide smile appears on her face.

Sigh... I know how all this is going to end.

"I, Valina Lucifer, the strongest White Dragon Emperor and the descendant of the morning star, never refuses a battle."

I knew it. There's no way Valina would turn down a fight.

"Dra-kun, you have to stop this."

Lavinia comes to me.

"Why?"

"Because Shark can't defeat Va-chan. He's going to take a beating."

"Shark? Are you talking about Kouki?"

"Yes, because he has a shark-like-mood I've decided to call him Shark."

Lavinia may be better at giving nicknames than Tiamat, but I don't think I'll let her name my future children. I'm afraid of what might happen if she names someone.

"Let them, this may be a good opportunity to show Natsume and Kouki what kind of world they're getting into."

At my words, Lavinia sighs and steps back.

......…

Five minutes later.

Kouki lies on the ground, completely beaten. To say that Valina swept the floor with him is an understatement.

Well, that's what I expected.

Now, it's getting dark, so I have to go see how Tobio Ikuse is doing.

......…..

The situation I find myself in when I get to Tobio's apartment is at least curious.

The first thing I find is a Utsusemi in the shape of a spider climbing up the wall and climbing in through the window. What's more, I can feel at least one other Utsusemi inside Tobio's house.

I could kill them both instantly, but I'm not going to do that at the moment.

Natsume and Kouki have awakened their respective Sacred Gears at the same time as receiving the eggs, while Tobio has not yet awakened his Longinus.

The reasons why Tobio has not yet awakened his Longinus may be several, but I opt for the option that it is more difficult to awaken a Longinus than a normal Sacred Gear.

A near-death situation is usually the best way to awaken an occult power.

Of course, I'm not going to leave Tobio alone. It would be a shame for him to die, as he may be a good helper in the future.

For now, I'm going to watch from the shadows. After all, they can't find me if I want to hide from them.

The Utsusemi spider is placed on the roof, just above Tobio's bed. The boy in question is in his bed, trying to fall asleep.

I'm going to make that clear right now.

The Utsusemis are stupid creatures.

A little spider drool falls on Tobio's face, waking him up at once. Not only that, but the spider decides to talk.

"Found you."

As simple as it was to kill Tobio.

Scared Tobio reacts by running out of the room, and I follow him around. In the hallway, we meet a girl and her Utsusemi, a giant frog.

Are all Utsusemis giant animals?

What is Tobio's reaction to this desperate situation?

Locking himself in the bathroom.

Like any horror film, Tobio has locked himself in the bathroom in the face of imminent danger.

He has done it so quickly that I have been left outside and cannot see what is happening inside.

Well, the Utsusemis are logically not going to stand still and go and destroy the door. When they do, I can see Tobio again, who is now hugging the egg I gave him this afternoon.

But the egg is broken.

Didn't Sacred Gear wake up from the egg?

It seems Azazel isn't as foolproof as they say it is.

The giant frog enters the bathroom and is about to attack Tobio. I think this is the perfect time to take action.

Wait.

I just felt it.

It wasn't that Canis Lycaon couldn't hatch from the egg, it's that Canis Lycaon had already been awakened a long time ago.

16 years ago.

16 years ago has the seal I just felt break.

Canis Lycaon manifested itself during Tobio's birth, and someone had to help him seal it.

That's why Tobio hasn't been able to manifest his Sacred Gear through the egg.

A sword emerges from Tobio's shadow and cuts the tongue of the Utsusemi, and pierces his body at the same time.

Sigh...

What a waste of experience.

What comes out of Tobio's shadow is a dog puppy, with black fur. The sword comes out of the puppy's forehead.

I feel a movement in the room. To my surprise, it comes from the giant frog I thought was dead.

Perfect, more experience for me.

I come out of the shadows, and my arm begins to surround itself with a golden and black aura.

[Dragon Punch]

The blow carried a shock wave with which it also killed the giant spider that wanted to enter the room.
