"Vali, that man just now-although he was the Red Dragon Emperor-wasn't the White Dragon Emperor's nemesis. I didn't sense Ddraig's aura in that Sacred Gear."
Severely injured by the Anti-Dragon Sacred Sword, his natural enemy, Vali barely maintained his Balance Breaker as he flew toward the outskirts of Saitama Prefecture.
He listened to Albion's explanation in silence.
"I don't know how that man obtained the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet. But there's one thing I'm certain of, Vali."
"Continuing to fixate on that man, Hiro Nanamiya, is pointless."
"The true nemesis is the queen of the current Lucifer-a female devil named Elsha."
Bright red blood continued to flow from the wound in his abdomen.
Hearing this, Vali replied impatiently.
"I know that already. You don't need to tell me."
"Then have you considered this as well?" Albion continued. "To kill Elsha, you must overcome Lucifer's obstruction."
"Of course."
Vali answered without hesitation.
His flying speed suddenly increased, the droplets of blood trailing behind him in a long arc.
"As long as I reach the level of Great Red, even if Lucifer and that Red Dragon Emperor named Elsha come together, I can kill them both."
"Let's hope so."
After a brief silence, Albion replied faintly.
After all, no one had ever seen Lucifer truly go all out.
For the sake of his host, Albion didn't say that aloud.
Even in his heavily injured state, Vali was still a top-tier powerhouse of the three realms.
Crossing half of Saitama Prefecture would only take him a few minutes.
Thump.
He landed heavily not far from Azazel, who was leisurely fishing like a retiree.
Without any courtesy, Vali spoke.
"Azazel, give me a bottle of Tears. Also, about Kokabiel-I was a step late."
"Hey, hey, hey."
Azazel turned his head, taking in Vali's miserable condition.
"I only asked you to bring Kokabiel back. How did you end up like this?"
"Being a step late should mean Kokabiel was already killed by Rias Gremory's group, right?"
As he spoke, Azazel reached into a magic circle with his right hand, pulled out a small light-purple bottle, and tossed it over.
While Vali used the Tears, Azazel glanced at the wound on his abdomen.
Surprise immediately appeared on his face.
"But this injury... a Holy Sword?"
"And you were beaten this badly by those two-no, three little girls from the Church?"
Azazel wasn't completely unaware of Kokabiel's plan to lure Lint Sellzen, that artificial Holy Sword user, to his side.
But with his way of thinking, he couldn't understand how Vali could be injured this severely by a few ordinary Holy Sword users.
Vali wasn't stupid.
Knowing he carried devil blood, there was no way he would stand still and let a Holy Sword cut him.
"It has nothing to do with the Church."
Vali replied calmly.
"Those Holy Sword users all seemed to lose their will to fight because of the 'gods are dead' thing."
"Then this injury-"
Azazel hadn't finished when Vali cut him off, clearly anticipating the question.
"It was caused by Hiro Nanamiya."
"That Red Dragon Emperor."
"And it was a Holy Sword with dragon-slaying attributes."
"A Red Dragon Emperor and a Holy Sword user?"
Azazel's face filled with shock.
"What kind of international joke is this?"
At the same time, a strong sense of relief surfaced in his heart.
If that was the case, then Vali being able to return meant one thing.
That man had shown mercy.
Otherwise, a boosted dragon-slaying Holy Sword would have been enough to completely kill Vali-someone who possessed both devil and dragon attributes.
Even with the bloodline of the original Lucifer, there were limits.
There was no way he could have dragged himself back in this condition.
"Oh, right."
Vali added casually.
"He also asked me to pass along a message to you."
Under Azazel's gaze, Vali tossed the empty bottle into the nearby river.
"He said that next time you meet, he has something not too difficult he needs your help with."
"He didn't say what it was."
Needs my help?
Azazel frowned slightly.
I haven't even had any contact with him yet. What could he possibly need my help with?
He nodded without commenting.
On the other side, Hiro and Rias chatted briefly.
Taking advantage of the time, Hiro repaired his dismantled puppet and stuffed it back into March of the Dead.
"Rias, Hiro-kun, you can leave."
Sona Sitri's voice sounded.
"Leave the rest of the cleanup to me and my servants. Just remember to take care of these Church personnel."
As soon as he returned, Hiro heard not only Sona's voice, but also the immediate complaints from her servants.
"Eh! President, I don't have even a single drop of magic power left. Can I rest for a bit?"
"President, me too. Requesting support."
Nimura Ryuuko and Yura Tsubasa spoke one after another.
They were completely unaware of the rapidly cooling gaze beside them.
Tsubaki Shinra stood there in silence.
Just moments ago, she had confidently told Rias she could handle everything.
And now, her own subordinates had betrayed her on the spot.
Listening to the complaints, Sona Sitri's expression darkened slightly.
Just as she was about to assert her authority as president, Hiro spoke.
"Sona, leave the rest to me."
"You and your servants can go back and rest."
Sona immediately turned to him, refusing seriously.
"No. You've already gone to great lengths to help us."
"At least these minor matters-"
"It's fine."
Hiro waved his hand casually.
"It'll only take a few seconds."
Seeing his calm expression, Sona hesitated.
Behind him, a blue-white lamia with snake-like hair, several stories tall, silently floated up.
"This is-!"
Beside Sona, Tsubaki Shinra widened her eyes slightly and exclaimed.
"The Sadalmelik-Albus."
"A servant I contracted with. It has extremely strong restoration abilities."
Hiro explained nonchalantly.
In this world, "servant" was the easiest way to describe it.
A faint blush appeared on Tsubaki Shinra's cheeks.
She gave a small nod.
"Th-thank you."
At that moment, a girl's voice rang out from the other side.
"The school-the school is being restored!"
