After dealing with the two devils, I fled that city for another. I'd like to live in peace, but I'm interested in certain events.
I think it's about time for Tobio to awaken his Sacred Gear. Minagawa Natsume must have already contacted him and given him the egg that will break the seal. A Longinus that awakened its Balance Breaker at birth. Tobio is a human monster.
[You're a human monster too, partner.]
I don't recall having Balance Breaker when I was born in this world?
[Hahaha, true. But that doesn't change the fact that you had enough magical power to awaken me at birth.]
"…" Man, I can't argue with that.
[If your memories are correct, the white one isn't far from here, just a few cities away.]
Yeah, but he already has Balance Breaker too, and Tobio will be there. It'll be a triple battle… no, four Longinus in Balance Breaker. Can you imagine the attention that'll draw? Not to mention Azazel is nearby too, since he's Vali's adoptive father.
[Why don't we check out their power?]
Tobio isn't a big deal, but Vali and Lavinia? That's another story. I have no idea where I stand against the current Lavinia and Vali.
But really.
I don't want to get involved in a stupid ero-dragon fight!?
[Hey, I know the reason seems stupid, but I couldn't accept that the white one preferred butts over breasts.]
That's exactly why I don't like this world. It's full of perverts. I bet even the late Biblical God was a pervert, and that the fight between him and Lucifer was over the same thing as you and Albion. Breasts or butts.
[I don't know anything about that.]
Ddraig turned his face, whistling to cover it up. What a terrible liar, this ero-dragon!
(One Day Later in Another City)
"Honestly! What a disgusting creature."
What's dead in front of me is a monster, one of the students from that school. They're after Tobio. But this one was really unlucky to run into me.
It's not really dead. It'll go back to where it came from to fight another day.
Its appearance is that of a lizard. It seems it escaped from her, Natsume. This was the first monster Tobio encountered. If I remember correctly, the student's name used was… Sasaki?! One of the students from Ryoukuu High School?
[It looks like a stray demon.]
Yeah, but it's not, Ddraig. The name of this creature is Utsusemi!
[Hmm… Interesting!]
Lately, I've been thinking. I'm not a coward, so why not go there and test my current limits?
"Hey, Ddraig, what do you think about invading the place where Vali is with the others? Let's fight the White One and other Sacred Gear users. They're all strong… probably?"
[That'd be suicide, but with your immense magical power… Hahahaha…]
"It's not, and I also want to see what Vali's like with his chuunibyou."
I definitely don't need to explain what chuunibyou is. There's an anime about it, after all.
[When are you going there?]
"I think after Tobio joins the group, it'll be more fun to fight them all."
[Partner, I've noticed that this Dragon Slayer Magic gives you a strong urge to fight. If you keep this up, you'll turn into a battle maniac!]
"Hahaha! Who cares? I'll fight anyone who's powerful, be it a God or a Maou. My light will destroy. My Crash will turn them to dust."
What Ddraig said is true. Dragon Slayer Magic gives me an intense desire to fight someone strong.
[Then let's go. I've seen the white one in your memories, but I want to see him in person. If he's as you say, he's extremely prideful right now and has eighth-grader syndrome.]
"Yup. Hey, won't it be fun to be the one to crush the pride of Lucifer's descendant?"
[And if Azazel interferes in our duel?]
"Then we'll unseal Crash and show the leader of the fallen the power of the Sekiryuutei."
It'd be surprising if Azazel didn't interfere. Those who watched the anime might think Azazel is strong, but his position is below the top thousand in the world. Vali, at the start of DxD canon, was also below the top thousand. That talk about Issei being between a thousand and fifteen hundred… that was just to intimidate the trash. The trash was even lower in the second season. Probably in the hundred thousands, since those mages had the magical power of a mid-class devil. Even so, Kiba and Xenovia, who were low-class not only in magical power but also in rank, defeated a bunch of mid-class enemies in the demon ranks. The author should respect the rules of his own fictional world.
Let's head to the next city, toward Tobio's little future group.
"Vali, wait for us!" / [Albion, wait for us!]
[Now, partner, could you explain these Utsusemi better? I'm still confused about these monsters that look like stray demons.]
"Huh! …Right. Utsusemi is actually an agency."
[Agency?]
Yes. The Utsusemi Agency was formed by outcast members of the Five Principal Clans. To surpass and seek revenge against the Five Great Families, they decided to use a different source of power from their clans: the Four Fiends, which brought bad luck and were later sealed in Sacred Gears. This soon led to the formulation of the Four Fiends Project with independent avatar-type Sacred Gears as the basis. To this end, the group targeted second-year students from Ryoukuu High School with the necessary Sacred Gears, but all of them were absent during the trip, forcing the group to change their original plans and instead use the kidnapped students, implanting Utsusemi in them and using them to hunt the true possessors of the Four Fiends.
[Interesting, and who are these possessors?]
"First is Nanadaru Shigune. Shigune possesses one of the Four Fiends' Sacred Gears, which carries the spirit of Taotie Toutetsu. She named it Poh, and it's the strongest among the Four Fiends. This Sacred Gear takes the form of a small four-horned animal wearing a mask with an unlimited appetite, capable of devouring anything from monsters to magic."
[That's dangerous. You should be careful with your Slayer Magic.]
"I must confess I'm more interested in her blowjob skills. After all, she's a glutton; she was definitely born for it."
Despite her Sacred Gear's ability being a threat to me, I'm more interested in her mouth.
[Ero-Sekiryuutei.]
Ignoring the perverted dragon's comment, I continued.
"Now, Minagawa Natsume. Natsume's Sacred Gear takes the form of a hawk she named Griffon. It's one of the Four Fiends, specifically a Sacred Gear with the spirit of Qingqi Kyuuki. It has the power to manipulate wind."
[Seems easy to deal with.]
"Next is Kouki Samejima. Kouki's Sacred Gear takes the form of a white cat he named Byakusa. It's one of the Four Fiends' Sacred Gears that carries the spirit of Taowu Toukotsu. It also has the power to generate a large amount of electricity and can transform into a spear for Kouki's use."
[No problem. So who's the last one?]
"The last is Hyousuke Koga. Hyousuke wields one of the Four Fiends' Sacred Gears, which carries the spirit of Hundun Konton. He named it Blitz, and it takes the form of a dog-like creature. He's also very troublesome."
[Why?]
"Si-Xiong Hundun Over Booster: When equipped with a gauntlet, which was due to his research on the Scale Mail Armors of the Heavenly Dragons, it allows him to activate an incomplete Balance Breaker. It forms a glossy black exoskeletal suit with a beastly dog-like shape, long fur on the back of the head, and a gem in the middle of the chest. Damn lunatics with their research."
[Hmm… indeed, that's troublesome. But the first one is still more problematic.]
"Yes, she is. But we mustn't forget she's not there yet, just like there are three Longinus: Divine Dividing, Absolute Demise, Canis Lykaon."
[This only makes you more excited, doesn't it?]
"Yes. I'm coming, Vali Lucifer…!!"
(At a Certain Secret Base)
In an unknown location, there's a child. He's a young boy with dark silver hair and ice-blue eyes, often shown with ultramarine rims. He has a small white dragon plushie on his shoulder. This is Vali Lucifer.
"Huh!? What's this pain in my back?"
[Vali.]
"What's the matter… Albion, what's this throbbing pain?"
[That's proof that the red one is coming. You'd better prepare. I sense the red one's wielder is strong.]
The boy smirked arrogantly and said while striking a weird pose, "I'll crush him. I'll show the power of Lucifer and the White Dragon Emperor. Hahaha…"
He laughed proudly about his heritage, unaware of the calamity approaching.
The door was opened by a very beautiful blonde girl, the wielder of Absolute Demise, Lavinia Reni.
"Well, well, why are you laughing so excitedly, Va-chan?"
Vali's face turned red. Red with embarrassment as she teased him.
But far from their hideout, the most powerful Sekiryuutei in history approaches to test his power.
