Chapter 167 – Rizevim’s Army

The energy around Rizevim increased. It became so potent that it turned red and was visible by naked eyes.

"Boy, you don't understand how the world work. Do you think you can stop me with that army? Do you forget that I am a leader of my own army too?"

Rizevim began to speak about nonsense.

Of course, I knew about that. I also knew he could bring his army here like what he did right now.

He extended his hand towards the sky, and a lot of portals appeared in the sky as devils and magicians came out one after the other.

Some devils were stronger than the others, especially the original Satan's descendant such as Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus, Shalba Beelzebub, and even Diodora Astaroth.

In other words, all Old Satan Faction had appeared behind him.

"Oh? Rizevim. You called us to deal with this boy?" Katerea said with a confident expression.

"What nonsense. He's just a man, and you called all of us here with emergency teleport to deal with him?" Creuserey, a devil with long black hair that was one shot by Sirzechs in the original story, sneered at me.

"He's a youkai? Can't you deal with him by yourself?" Asked Shalba Beelzebub.

"He's the same age as me, isn't he? Why did you call us here? My brother will notice that I am gone in a minute!" Diodora Astaroth shouted.

They didn't seem to notice the army that closed in from behind.

This was rather… bad for me? Nah, I didn't think so.

"They appeared one after another." Muttered Hagoromo Gitsune.

"Well, you know about how cockroaches lived, right? They are similar to that." I said with a smug smile on my face.

They didn't stop appearing. The next thing that appeared was a person with long black and blond hair. That appearance, I recognized it. He was Crom Cruach.

All of them stood in the sky right above Rizevim. We were also standing in the sky as I stood above an air platform that I made with Youjutsu.

"Even the one called Strongest Evil Dragon appeared? Tsuhigumo will love this."

"Strongest evil dragon? They could take a human's appearance?" Asked Hagoromo Gitsune.

"It seems so." I answered Hagoromo Gitsune as I turned to Crom Cruach.

"Rizevim, what happened?" He asked Rizevim with a calm tone.

"This boy is dangerous. I need the help of everyone here to defeat him."

"Hah?!" Crom Cruach questioned Rizevim, "What do you mean by that? You know that I hate it when someone interferes with my fight, and yet, you ask me to help you?"

Even when he asked Rizevim like that, there was an excited tone mixed in. He was a battle maniac even more than Vali, so it was a bit understandable if he wanted to fight a strong opponent.

"Strong enough to put me in a bind and call all of you here. Not only that, he has his Hyakki Yakkou making their way toward this place."

"Hyakki Yakkou? So he's a youkai?" Crom Cruach looked at me with a feral grin, "Can I fight him alone?"

What was he saying?

"Hey! Human-shaped lizard!" I shouted at Crom Cruach, and he turned to me.

"Hah?!" He bared his teeth to me. As expected, that kind of mocking was really effective against a dragon.

I pointed my index finger to the sky with a grin on my face, "Above."

Right above him, Tsuchigumo fell from the dragon that he rode and punched Crom Cruach right in his face.

Crom Cruach was blown to the ground and created a big crater. A cloud of dust was created from the impact, hiding Crom Cruach's figure.

Bam!

"Huahahahahahaha, a lot of enemies appeared. You have my gratitude, Nura!!" He laughed hard as he landed on the crater.

As soon as he landed, he looked around to find Crom Cruach. A figure appeared from the dust with an excited expression.

"Hahaha, Rizevim. I will take this guy!" He punched Tsuchigumo in the face, but it did no damage to him.

"That tickles," Tsuchigumo said with an uninterested tone and swatted away Crom Cruach away with his hand.

"Nura!" He shouted at me, "I will not forgive you if you interrupt me."

"Ah, go ahead." I waved my hand at him, and he grinned before jumping away to chase after Crom Cruach.

Now, what was left was the old devils and Rizevim.

I had felt they were coming, so I didn't even bother to hide my big grin. I released Nenekirimaru, and it disappeared.

As expected, dual-wielding was not my style. One katana was more than enough.

"Shall we continue our dance, old man?" I pointed my katana to Rizevim as I said that.

"Rascals!" Rizevim shouted and created a big magic circle in front of him. "Kill him!"

At the same time, the devils behind him created magic circles to attack me too. It filled the sky, but I didn't care about that.

"Are you ready, Hagoromo Gitsune?"

"Anytime." Answered Hagoromo Gitsune.

"Do it!" I shouted at no one in particular, and voices answered me.

"Yes nya!" Kuroka shouted from behind, and a purple poisonous smoke filled the sky in an instant.

"What is this!?"

"I can't breathe!"

"H-Help!"

The devils in the sky began to panic. Only some could jump out of the smoke, including Rizevim and the other people that I recognized.

They began to fall from the sky one after the other, and they hit the ground after that.

However, as soon as they hit the ground, Tsura's low tone echoed through the battlefield.

"Freeze."

The ground froze in an instant, and the devils were encased in ice.

Only five of them left, and their expression was twisted in anger. Rizevim also couldn't believe what he saw, which was visible from his expression.

Kuroka flew beside me while Tsura made an Ice pillar to stand beside me.

"Why are you guys here?" I asked them. They were supposed to take Walburga to me.

"Ophis said she would take Walbuga by herself nya! So we came here to help! But don't worry about her; I asked Shirone to make sure that Walburga is still alive!" Exclaimed Kuroka.

"Please do leave the rest to us, Riku-sama. I will take the girl and black-haired boy."

"I will take on the other nya! So you can fight the big boss with no problem!"'

Well, look at them. They were so dependable.

"In that case, I will leave them to you."
