Under Cao Cao’s command, the fog wielder Georg unfurled a massive magic. Various runes flickered, and the enormous magic array emitted a dark aura.
A chilling presence. In an instant, Tenraku felt an immense pressure emanating from the magic array!
“Wū Wū Wū Wū Wū！！！！”
The monster’s howls echoed in the surroundings. Under everyone’s gaze, a colossal figure pinned to a cross emerged slowly from the magic array. The upper body resembled a human, but it had black wings— a fallen angel’s form!
The lower body of the colossal figure was that of a serpent, or rather, it was covered in intricate scales, resembling the slender form of an Eastern divine dragon!
Its eyes and head were bound by iron, and its arms, wings, and entire body were nailed to the cross. It was a horrifying sight. No one knew what kind of monster this was, or what unspeakable crime it had committed to deserve such cruel treatment!
The more timid Asia and Kunou were already pale-faced from fright. Even Tenraku felt a bone-chilling sensation like never before.
The aura of dragon-slaying. There was no mistaking it. This was an aura specifically designed to counter the Dragon Race. Fused with the Dragonslayer Holy Sword Ascalon, Tenraku possessed the power to slay dragons, but the aura emanating from this monster far surpassed the might of Ascalon, perhaps by a thousandfold!
“This… this is an overwhelmingly malevolent intent directed at dragons.”
“Kamiya Tenraku, be careful.”
Dragon runes appeared on the backs of Tenraku’s hands, and then the voices of Ddraig and Albion resounded in the area.
Ddraig’s voice trembled, and even Albion was unusually grave. Fear, yes, even the two Heavenly Dragons who disregarded the gods and devils were now afraid!
In fact, without Ddraig and the others saying anything, Tenraku could feel it himself. Even Raynare, who housed the Black Evil Dragon King, felt the same way. Her face was pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. It was a feeling as if she were being targeted by a natural enemy, a shiver from the depths of her soul!
“HāHāHā… You all feel it, don’t you? Kamiya Tenraku, Ophis, this is our Trump Card—”
“Dragon Eater Samael!”
Watching Tenraku and the others’ reactions closely, Cao Cao burst into laughter.
“Dragon Eater?!!”
Tenraku’s heart shook. Just from the name, it was clear that this was no ordinary entity!
“Yes, it devours dragons. It’s the bane of all Dragon Race and their hosts.”
“Have you heard the story of Adam and Eve? The one who took the form of a serpent in the Garden of Eden and tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit— that was it. However, because of this, it offended the ‘God’ recorded in the Holy Bible and incurred the hatred and curse of God.”
Cao Cao explained patiently, his mood cheerful. Meanwhile, Tenraku and the girls’ expressions turned grim.
“Impossible! Wasn’t Samael sealed deep within the Grecian Underworld? Why can you summon it?” Yubelluna’s voice was filled with disbelief as she asked.
“Oh… Tenraku’s Queen seems to know quite a bit. You’ve even heard about this secret.”
“That’s right. The Samael hated and cursed by the gods was sealed deep within the Grecian Underworld. However, after discussing with the lord of the Grecian Underworld, Hades, we obtained the privilege to temporarily summon it.”
Cao Cao wore a smug expression as he spoke and upon hearing this, Tenraku, Rias, and the other girls’ faces turned even more unpleasant.
They hadn’t expected Hades to be involved in this! Hades was the lord of the Grecian Underworld in the Greek God System, overseeing the Reapers of the Grecian Underworld.
His strength surpassed even Azazel and Michael. It was said that Hades was relatively friendly towards humans, but he harbored a strong aversion towards Devils, Fallen Angels, and the like. They never imagined he would collude with members of the Khaos Brigade; this was a blatant betrayal of their alliance!
“Well, well, if you’re angry at Lord Hades, you can settle the score with him later. Our chit-chat ends here.”
“Samael, devour her!”
Cao Cao commanded with his War Spear pointed towards Ophis.
“Wū Wū Wū Wū Wū！！！！！”
Pain, bloodlust, resentment… It was a howl that seemed to gather all negative emotions. Then, many tentacle-like things shot out from Samael’s mouth and they were swift as lightning, and almost instantly wrapped around Ophis, turning her into a massive flesh lump.
With Ophis’ power, she should have been able to break free quickly, but enveloped in the fleshy mass, she showed no reaction.
“HāHāHā… Just as I thought, Samael is the bane of all Dragon Race. Its power is equally effective against Ophis!”
Cao Cao’s eyes glittered, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Stop it!”
With a muttered curse, Tenraku wasn’t about to let his opponent have their way. He shot forward, wielding a Holy Demonic Sword, and relentlessly slashed at the fleshy mass.
Hundreds of strikes were delivered in one breath. However, what astonished Tenraku was that the Holy Demonic Sword didn’t shatter the mass; instead, its surface venom melted the sword!
“Kamiya Tenraku, your opponent is me!” Brandishing the Warspear, Cao Cao lunged at Tenraku. Tenraku could only retreat in frustration, while Rias and the girls engaged with the people from the Hero faction…
“Oye Oye… Before we deal with Ophis, how about you entertain me for a bit?”
“First—”
With a sly grin on his face, Cao Cao unleashed the Forbidden Move of the True Longinus. Suddenly, a radiant halo appeared behind him, and seven bowling ball-sized orbs revolved around it in a slow, calculated manner.
“Itthiratana (Female Treasure)!”
One of the orbs shot out from behind Cao Cao, instantly splitting into three and hitting Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna, who were in the midst of battling other enemies.
“What is this thing?!”
Realizing that the three of them were suddenly trapped within one of the orbs, they unleashed a barrage of magic while trapped. Irina and her companions outside hurriedly tried to help, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t break the orb that imprisoned Rias and the others.
“It’s useless. ‘Itthiratana (Female Treasure)’ is one of the abilities of my Forbidden Move. It can temporarily lock up female enemies. Only when it naturally dissipates can you break free. Any attack, from within or without, is futile.”
Cao Cao wore a smirk, while Tenraku and Rias’ companions wore grim expressions.
This guy Cao Cao’s Forbidden Move was nothing but troublesome abilities! However, it seemed to have a quantity limit. It only entrapped Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna. If he were to suddenly release dozens of orbs and trap Irina and the others, Tenraku would truly be at his wit’s end!
“Irina, deal with the others. I’ll take care of Cao Cao.”
“Deal with your opponent as quickly as possible, and then rescue Ophis!”
“Understood!”
Although Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna were unable to continue fighting, Irina’s strength should be more than sufficient to deal with the enemies. Tenraku gave the command, and the girls immediately sprang into action.
“Cao Cao!!!”
Time was of the essence, and Tenraku didn’t have time to dawdle so he instantly manifested the armor of the Two Heavenly Dragons and shot towards Cao Cao.
“HāHāHā… Here it comes!”
“Watch out for the spear!”
