Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Hero faction attack 2
The next day, Kunou offered to act as a tour guide for the group.
As they were passing a long bridge, suddenly, a purple mist covered the whole place.
All the people except the group of supernatural people disappeared from the bridge.
"Guys!"
Azazel appeared flying and landed beside them.
"Dimension lost, the ability of a Longinus.
We've been transported to another realm."
"Did you..."
"What's wrong, Kunou?"
"When my mother was kidnapped, they said a similar mist appeared."
"So, this..."
Suddenly, a few silhouettes appeared in the fog.
The middle silhouette raised his spear before aiming it at Azazel and throwing an energy beam at him.
Azazel quickly threw up multiple magical barriers to block the attack but they all broke and the energy beam sent him flying.
Cao Cao put his Longinus over his shoulder as he smiled.
"It is my pleasure, Ruler General Azazel."
Azazel rose from the rubble before spreading his wings and flying back alongside the others.
"My name is Cao Cao, the descendant of that famous Cao Cao of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
I let you know that to begin with."
"You were the ones who kidnapped my mother?
What do you plan to do with her?"
"She will be the subject of our delicate little experiment."
"Did you say experiment?"
"Before that, I thought I'd greet Ruler General Azazel with a little exchange of blows."
"You act very pompously for someone who didn't dare to face the red dragon emperor head on and had to resort to tricks."
"Ah, that's right. It may be a stain on my reputation but sometimes you have to put honor aside."
Cao Cao smiled nonchalantly.
"Ah, by the way! I brought you a gift."
Snapping his fingers, a young man walked over and stood next to Cao Cao.
"Leonard, prepare the anti-monsters for the demons."
"Yes!"
The young man removed his hood, revealing his short silver hair.
"Haaa!"
Leonard sent a strange energy into the ground before a large number of golems with a large red orb on their heads appeared in front of him.
"Annihilation Maker."
"Correct. As long as the user focuses intensely, it's a Longinus capable of creating any kind of monster."
"It's the rumored power that can destroy the world."
"This is getting troublesome."
"Judging that no monsters created from the three forces have yet been sent out, it seems that their power has not yet been mastered."
"As expected from the ruler of the fallen angels. It is just as you said."
"This boy has not yet matured.
However, he is excellent at one thing."
The orbs on the golems' heads glowed before releasing a concentrated beam of light towards the group.
Azazel blocked the attack and looked coldly at Cao Cao.
"Leonard has the ability to create monsters that target his opponent's weakness.
He specializes in creating anti-monsters."
"Get ready!"
Azazel ordered and the others took up battle positions.
"They are not dangerous as long as you can evade them. You just have to defeat them before they hit you."
Azazel soared into the sky before Fafnir's golden armor covered him.
"Cao Cao! How should we settle this?"
"To think that I would have the honor of facing you."
Cao Cao's spear and Azazel's halberd clashed in midair.
"So the reason you sent assassins to each camp was to gather information so that guy could create anti-monsters."
"Right. Thanks to them, we now have enough information."
"However, it seems you still can't create monsters capable of destroying gods."
"Heh! The gods I will eliminate them myself!"
Azazel and Cao Cao soared into the sky, taking their fight far away.
"Hehe! As expected, you guys are quite a strong bunch."
A man suddenly appeared beside leonard.
He wore the robe worn by all the exorcists in the church.
"A pleasure to meet you, members of the Gremory family.
My allies call me Sigfried."
"I know him. He is a demon exorcist. And he is considered one of the best warriors of all the factions.
Khaos Edge Sieg."
Xenovia looked at Sigfried and explained to the others.
"Hehe. Let's finish the introductions.
Now, shall we begin?"
Yuuto and Xenovia were the first to attack.
Sigfried pulled out two swords that emanated dense demonic energy and countered their blows with ease.
Irina transformed into her angel form and attacked him from the sky.
A silver arm grew from Sigfried's back and blocked Irina's attack with a third demonic sword.
"A sacred Gear? In addition to three demonic swords..."
"It's frustrating but this guy is strong."
"Cao Cao! Why is the hero faction making their move now?"
"Ruler General of the fallen angels, our goal is simple.
We want to unearth the full potential of humanity."
"What?"
"Demons, dragons, fallen angels, and all other races? Humans have always been able to eliminate those at the top.
No...humans must always be the ones to do it.
A kernel of hope for an otherwise beleaguered race.
For example, I want to see how far we can advance, while remaining fully human.
Suddenly, beneath Azazel's feet, the water began to ripple before a giant Golem rose.
"Gogmagog. A war machine built by the ancient gods eons ago.
They sealed all its functions, and it should be wandering the dimensional rift.
Why is it here?"
Suddenly, a magic circle lit up near Gogmagog and a girl sitting on a flying broom appeared from it before flying near Cao Cao.
The girl had blonde hair pulled back in two pigtails and a blue witch's hat covered half of her face.
Lifting her hat slightly to reveal her face, the chia introduced herself.
"It is a pleasure to meet you all.
I am Le Fay Pendragon, a wizard from Team Vali.
I came here to deliver a message from Vali-sama.
Ahem!"
Le Fay imitated a gravelly tone of voice.
"I told you to stay out of my way with your daring acts."
"That's what you said.
Cao Cao-san, that means punishment!"
Suddenly, the huge Gogmagog raised his fists before smashing them into Cao Cao, destroying the entire bridge he was standing on.
Suddenly, Longinus reached out and pierced the Gogmagog's shoulder, knocking him off balance and into the water.
Cao Cao emerged from the rubble, unharmed.
"It seems a plague meddled in our affairs.
So, shall we continue?"
Suddenly, Rossweisse appeared on the other side of the bridge as she staggered.
She was completely drunk.
"I was enjoying a nice nap?
My goodness.
All this commotion...
They're so noisy!
Take this!"
Large amounts of magic circles lit up behind Rossweisse and attacked the position where the Khaos Brigade were with a torrent of energy beams.
"This broad."
Azazel covered his face in shame.
A man stood in front of Cao Cao and blocked the barrage of attacks with a barrier.
Suddenly, while everyone was concentrating on Rossweisse's attacks, a masked person silently appeared behind one of the Khaos Brigade guys.
"Watch out!"
One of his companions tried to warn him but it was too late.
Manga sent the guy crashing into the man blocking Rossweisse's attacks with a kick, causing him to crash into his back and making him lose his concentration.
His ability dissipated and the rain of attacks came down on them.
"Tsk."
Cao Cao reacted in time and spinning his Longinus at full speed, he turned it into a shield with which he blocked the attacks.
Magna grabbed Leonard by the neck and knocked him straight out.
Besides being able to use his Sacred Gear to create monsters, Leonard had no other offensive abilities and that's why he needed protection.
"I'll see you someday, Cao Cao."
Magna looked Cao Cao in the eyes before disappearing from place with Leonard in her hand.
"Shit!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth.
When he turned to look at Azazel and the others, he found that no one was there anymore.
Only Le Fay Pendragon was left, who, seeing the situation, ran off with her Gogmagog without hesitation.
"Tsk! Let's go! We have nothing more to do here!"
The purple mist swallowed them up and the place returned to normal.
At the temple of the fox clan of the Yokay, Lena looked at the group that teleported here and sighed in relief to see that they were all here.
Azazel looked at Lena for a moment before acknowledging her.
"I guess we have you to thank for getting us out of that place."
"No need, after all, I'm just following orders."
"As I guessed, that guy didn't look like the type that would die so easily.
Kunou looked around in surprise.
"Most importantly, I have a message for you."
Lena said seriously.
"Tonight, the Khaos Brigade plans to use a powerful force field with the power of Kyoto and the Kiuuby to carry out their so-called experiment at Nijou Castle."
"Experiment!? Onee-san! Do you know what experiment that guy was talking about?"
Lena shook her head.
"Unfortunately, my brother didn't leave me any more information.
Now, I've brought some people to help."
Lena pulled out her storage device, from which Rias, Akeno and Koneko came out.
"President!"
"Hello everyone."
On the other hand, Magna appeared on a certain beach where Noah was waiting for him as he drank from a coconut and cooled off in the fresh breeze.
Without a word, Noah handed Magna a coconut and grabbed the unconscious Leonard before entering the floating continent to continue his project.
Inside the fox clan, Lena met with Azazel and Serafall, who had also come to the site, and the three discussed a strategy for dealing with the Khaos Brigade.
In the evening, the group gathered in front of the gates of Nijou Castle.
"You are all a threat."
Cao Cao appeared above Nijou Castle along with his followers.
Suddenly, another group appeared on the other side.
Two men held a dazed-looking woman.
"Mother! It's Kunou!"
When she saw that her mother didn't respond, Kunou wanted to advance towards her but Lena held her by the shoulder, preventing her from continuing.
"Mother! You bastards! What did you do to my mother?"
"I told you already didn't I? You will simply participate in our delicate experiment, little princess."
Cao Cao slammed his spear against the ground.
It seemed as if it was a signal as the fox woman began to scream while clutching her head.
Her entire body glowed before turning into a gigantic nine-tailed fox.
"This is...the legendary Yokai, the nine-tailed fox."
"Mother...?"
"Kyuubi is the strongest Yokai. And Kyoto, which has a link to the nine-tailed fox, is the ceremonial capital to which everything is connected.
We will use the power of this city and the Kyuubi to summon Great Red."
"What did you say?"
"His existence is a nuisance to our boss, as it blocks her way back home."
"So, you plan to eliminate Great Red?"
"I wonder that...
I guess I need to capture him first."
"We won't let you get away with that!"
"Let's see...for now, Georg, start the experiment."
"Okay."
Countless overlapping magic circles appeared around Georg before condensing into a ball of light that entered the kyuubi.
The kyubi's eyes turned red as it raised its head and let out a howl.
"I established the distance between the sacrifice and the spell circle.
All that's left is to see if Great Red will fall with eta power nexus bait."
"Understood. I'll leave the rest to you."
Then Cao Cao looked at his other subordinates.
"Sigfried, which opponent will you choose?"
Sigfried simply pointed his two swords at Yuuto and Xenovia.
"Jean, Heracles."
"I guess I'll take the angel girl and the silver haired girl."
"Then I'll take the Nekomata and the half fallen angel."
"Then I guess I'll play a little with the Gremory clan girl..."
Twelve demonic wings appeared behind Rias and charged at Cao Cao.
"Britra Promotion!"
Suddenly, a giant purple snake appeared in front of the huge kyuubi.
"Well, well. One of the renowned anguished dragon kings. Prison Dragon, Vritra.
So he really was resurrected."
Rias and Cao Cao stopped their confrontation to look at Vritra before continuing their battle.
Sigfried stood in front of Xenovia and Yuuto and smiled slyly.
"Let me show you something interesting.
Balance Breaker!"
Four metal arms appeared on his back and another four demon swords appeared on each arm.
In total, he had six demonic swords.
"Balance Braker!"
A large number of swords formed behind Jeane before turning into a giant metallic dragon that roared at Irina and Rossweisse.
"Everyone go with that eh? Alright then!
Balance Breaker!"
Strange spikes appeared all over Heracles' body and two huge metal spikes grew on his hands.
The two spikes shot out of Heracles' hands, taking the form of missiles that flew towards Koneko and Akeno.
"Looks like everyone is activating their Balance Breaker, aren't you going to do the same?"
"No no, if I did I'd sweep the floor with all of you in one move.
That would be boring.
Come on! Show me your power!"
The battle between master sides was quite evenly matched and went on for a while without a victor being decided.
Suddenly, a giant golden crack appeared in the sky.
"Wow, looks like we're about to finish our work."
Cao Cao stopped fighting and looked at the sky with a smile of victory on his face.
Rias also didn't fight anymore and lay down on the ground, exhausted.
"If I were you I wouldn't sing victory so quickly."
Rias smiled at Cao Cao meaningfully.
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly, a gigantic green head popped out from inside the crevice before a huge eastern dragon came out completely.
