“You all heard Rizevim’s words just now, right? We need Valkyrie Rossweisse.”
“We’ve encountered some difficulties in releasing Sovereign Beast 666 – Trihexa from its seal recently, and Rossweisse-Sama happens to have a lot of research on the seal of Sovereign Beast 666 – Trihexa. Her papers from her student days have been of great help to us, so we believe she is a valuable asset. With her help, we can definitely unlock the seal of Sovereign Beast 666 – Trihexa faster.” Euclid spoke.
“Release Asia, and I’ll go with you.” Without hesitation, Rossweisse stepped forward and spoke.
“Don’t, Rossweisse.”
“Rossweisse-san.”
Worried about Rossweisse doing something impulsive, Riasa and the girls quickly stopped her.
“Is this your purpose, to threaten us with Asia and then make Rossweisse submit?” Tenraku spoke solemnly with a grim expression on his face.
“That’s about right, that’s the main purpose. However, now that you’ve given me a handle, do you think I’ll be satisfied so easily? Red Dragon Emperor, you made me quite embarrassed last time in the Vampire territory.”
“You care a lot about this Saintess San, don’t you? Before we exchange Rossweisse-sama, let us see how deep your love for this Saintess San is.”
“First, stab yourself with a sword.”
With Asia’s neck pinched, Euclid’s face was cold and mocking as he ordered Tenraku.
“Despicable, shameless!”
“To threaten Tenraku with Asia!”
“Damn it, if you have the guts, release Asia and fight us fair and square!”
The girls were infuriated by this despicable demand, each glaring at Euclid with immense anger.
However, Euclid was indifferent, even looking forward to Tenraku’s choice.
Asia wore an expression of self-blame and pain, wanting to say something but unable to make a sound due to being choked, only able to shake her head repeatedly as if telling Tenraku not to.
However, Tenraku said nothing, summoning a longsword and thrusting it into himself.
“Tenraku!”
“Lord Tenraku!”
Rias and Yubelluna’s girls were shocked by Tenraku’s actions, their faces pale, but Tenraku gestured to stop them with a raised hand.
“Boring trick. What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to cut off another hand for you?”
With a pū chī sound, he pulled the sword out of his body, allowing blood to spurt out freely as Tenraku looked at Euclid with a mocking expression.
Unexpectedly, Tenraku would act so decisively without even blinking, Euclid felt somewhat awkward—
“It’s just a woman. I really don’t understand someone like you.”
“Hmph, Asia may be insignificant to you, but to me, she is an irreplaceable existence. What else do you want me to do, just say it, I will satisfy all your twisted and boring desires for revenge.” With a cold snort, Tenraku said.
Originally wanting to see Tenraku’s struggling and indecisive reaction to this, so that he could mock him and make those women beside him see what kind of person the so-called Red Dragon Emperor really was, and thus sow discord in their relationship, but Tenraku didn’t play according to his expectations at all, making Euclid somewhat disinterested.
“Forget it, I’m too lazy to play this boring game with you anymore.”
“I’ll take Rossweisse, and I’ll give you back the Saintess San.”
The longer they dragged it out, the greater the risk on their side, Euclid said.
Rias and the girls all showed a struggling expression. Although they all wanted to save Asia, they couldn’t accept exchanging Rossweisse for Asia, exchanging one comrade for another.
However, at this moment, Tenraku looked at Rossweisse with a serious expression—
“Rossweisse, do you believe in me?”
“I believe in you, Tenraku!”
Although she didn’t know why Tenraku suddenly asked such a question, Rossweisse answered without hesitation.
“Then go and exchange yourself for Asia,” Tenraku’s voice rang out again, causing even Asia herself and Rias’s girls to show expressions of disbelief. Was Tenraku really willing to sacrifice Rossweisse to get Asia back? No, Tenraku would never do such a thing.
Although they didn’t know what plan Tenraku had, the girls knew that Tenraku would never abandon any of them. Rossweisse chose to believe in Tenraku without hesitation, and they believed in him too!
“Okay.” Without asking further questions, Rossweisse simply nodded and prepared to walk towards Euclid’s side.
“Wait a moment.” It was Euclid’s voice that stopped Rossweisse this time.
“Are you going to back out again?” Tenraku frowned.
“How could it be? I just have a small request.”
“I have full confidence in Rossweisse-sama’s abilities, but to prevent any unpleasant incidents later, please allow me to seal Rossweisse-sama’s magic before the hostage exchange.”
Euclid spoke, and the anger that had just subsided in Rias’s girls flared up again. This bastard was going too far!
Ignoring the angry glares from Rias and the girls, Euclid was just being cautious. He had almost researched the information and intelligence of everyone present and naturally knew how powerful Rossweisse was as a Valkyrie.
Although Euclid was confident he could defeat Rossweisse with a replica of Boosted Gear, if she tried to escape while he wasn’t paying attention, he wouldn’t have much recourse. But if he sealed all her magic in advance, everything would be simpler!
“You may proceed with the sealing.” Without the same anger as Rias’s group, Rossweisse said calmly.
With a victorious smile on his face, Euclid wasted no words. He raised his hand and immediately used the sealing magic that Aži·Ḫaḫa had prepared long ago. A small magic circle unfolded at his fingertips, then quickly spun around before flying into Rossweisse’s forehead.
Under the angry and worried expressions of her comrades, Rossweisse, with her magic sealed, walked to Euclid’s side. Keeping his word, Euclid released Asia, and Asia quickly ran back to her companions’ side.
“Well then, everyone, until we meet again.” With his mission accomplished and having once again dealt a significant blow to the Red Dragon Emperor’s group, Euclid showed a satisfied smile, then opened a teleportation magic and prepared to leave with Rossweisse.
However, just at that moment—
“Who agreed you could leave?” With a smirk on her lips, Rossweisse wore a cold, mocking smile.
Not only Rossweisse, but even Rias’s girls were the same. They had no traces of anger or frustration at this moment!
Euclid was a bit confused. He had already sealed Rossweisse’s magic, did she still want to resist? However, the next moment, Euclid finally understood, and a horrified expression appeared on his face. Because—
The Rossweisse in front of him dispersed her disguise, revealing herself to be none other than the Red Dragon Emperor, Kamiya Tenraku!
