The group continued on moving forward, surprisingly not confronted by any of the hero faction members. "They seem oddly confident." Issei said as the group trudged along forward.
"Well we currently are in there turf in this dimension, so yeah they kinda have the right to be confident about this." Narumi quipped with a smile.
"But of course." Issei intoned with a warm nod getting a grin from Narumi who was slowly weasling her way closer to the dragon emperor. Invigld watched on with a little anger but did not say anything, not until she had the chance to talk to Issei about this privately.
Noticing her looks Azazel let out a small chuckle and looked towards Invigld and said "So is there any trouble in paradise?"
"I don't know what you mean uncle Zel." She replied Petulantly, unknowingly going back to the name she used to address him with when she was a kid.
"So what's wrong then? And don't say nothing, You only call me uncle zel when you are troubled, so spill." Azazel said softly.
"I am angry at myself actually, He trusted me and told me everything that happened to him in the past and how his old friends saw him and treated him, not just the fact about his reincarnation but the whole complete deal. Despite that I sort of made a promise with the church trio to at least get Issei to talk to them." Invigld said morosely as she drew in a breath.
"And now after you asked him as your king he didnt take it all that well and must have gone all reserved at you. And since you haven't seen that side of him before its beginning to not only freak you out but also frighten you." Azazel finished for her, making her give out a meek nod in response.
"Well for one I don't think he is angry at you, rather he is just a bit upset and disappointed. Second no relationship in the world is without its very own ups and downs. Its how you handle those highs and lows that counts. For now however I suggest that you put this to the back of your head. You will have plenty of time to yourself to actually get the misunderstanding between you two sorted. Not to mention you may actually get a harem sister out of the whole debacle." Azazel kindly said to her partially bringing her out of her funk as she knew what he was saying was true.
However any further chances of conversation were cut of when they happened upon the area of the temple. It was then that they noticed a group of 5 people standing in front of them. Two of them being Cao Cao and Georg, while the others were 3 unknowns.
One of the three was a tall white haired teen with glowing red eyes. He stood straight and had a posture that commanded respect, while his face had an easy going smile. This teen was Seigfried of the demon hand, someone who was capable of using 5 demonic swords on his own at the same time. He was also the descendant of the original Seigfried who was a famed hero for managing to kill the golden monarch dragon fafnir.
The second was a very large man in his late 20s. He stood at around 7 feet tall and had a muscled physique that put body builders to shame. He had blond shoulder length hair and had a battle hungry look on his face. This was Hercules the descendant of his original name sake.
The last one was a young woman who looked to be in her early 20s. She had grey eyes and blond hair. She was wearing a female knight armor and had a rapier attached to her hip. She was Jeanne D Arc the descendant of the original one.
"So this is the actual party kuh, this will be fun." Issei said with a grin forming on his face.
"Heh it seems that both of the dragon emperors are in essence quiet similar. Both love a good battle." Cao Cao said to himself amusedly to himself before he looked up and motioned for Georg to begin.
"You are just in time to see something grand." Cao Cao said with a flourish his speech targeted towards our protagonists. As he said that Georg disappointed in a magic circle before he reappeared moments later with holding yasaka his hand holding her hair in a tight grip. What surprised everyone was the blank look in her eyes.
"[A very powerful mind control ritual, whoever cast that must have been quiet the magician.]" Ddraig said getting Issei to nod after which he relayed the information to the others.
Narumi growled out in anger when she saw that but made no move to drop the formation. There was no room for mistakes in this situation. Georg then pushed Yasaka into the altair before he raised his hand causing a great number of varying magic circles to appear inside. Issei was astonished to see the different varieties of magic being used all at the same time. All of the magic circles converged to form a large one. Yasaka standing in the middle of said magical circle suddenly flared up. Her eyes turned from the usual orange to a dark pupilless red, as she gave out a roar of beastial rage.
Her body also began to to morph, her human features were all regressing while her the form of the nine tailed monster fox where coming. Soon the gigantic form of a golden nine tailed roared out a challenge to our heros with the magic circle now glowing brightly
"I guess we know who cast the magic on yasaka." Issei thought as he summoned Benihime into his hand.
"So you want to tell us your grand plan before we fight and get this shit under way.?" Azazel asked as he pulled out his downfall dragon spear.
"I am glad you asked. In simple terms yasaka dono here has been selected to be used as a sacrifice to attract great red over here. While alone she isn't much of a sacrifice for someone like great red, but when you add the thickest set of leylines in with her, that is a temptation that even great red won't ignore." Cao Cao answered with a smile.
"And what would you exactly do when the big guy finally does show up? I am sure someone of your intelluct wouldn't be foolish enough to think you would be able to trap someone like great red even if it is just for a few seconds. Also a little introduction of your fellows would be welcome. " Issei drawled questioningly.
"We don't, ophis's sensing abilities are nothing short of godlike, the moment great red is here, she will be here and she will be more than enough to keep great red occupied. And as for my friends they are Seigfried, Hercules and Jeanne D arc." Cao Cao said with a shrugg.
"Well that does make sense, its time to begin then I suppose, saji, kiba, Xenovia irina, go take care of yasaka and make sure she doesn't attack us, narumi you will take on The one called Jeanne D arc, Invigld chan, Rossweisse chan take on Hercules, Issei you go on and take care of Seigfried while I will handle Cao Cao." Azazel instructed authoritatively.
The others nodded before shuffling past each other and towards their opponents. And then after a few moments the battle began in earnest.
(Azazel vs Cao Cao)
"So I get to face you Azazel dono? I am really honoured." Cao Cao said as he thrust his spear forward releasing a wave of white coloured magic towards Azazel.
In response Azazel lazily raised his still dormant downfall dragon spear and coated it with a bit of his magic before deflecting the attack away.
"You will have to do better than that young one, show me just how good that spear really is." Azazel said as he extended the downfall dragon spear causing it to lengthen to the size of a regular spear.
"Oh but of course this was after all only me saying hello." Cao Cao after which he charged at Azazel and thrust his spear out towards him.
Azazel did not stay stationary this time around and himself charged forward meeting Cao Cao midway. And then began a dance of two spear masters trying to gut each other. Azazel was more than impressed with Cao Cao keeping up with him since he was only human but chalked it up as a boost from the true longinus.
Cao Cao on the other hand was relishing the challenge he knew that Azazel currently was no where near using his full power in his base form let alone using his artificial sacred gear, and this made him appreciate his self put insurmountable task. He however knew he couldn't keep up for very long and would now need to speed matters. And somehow get Azazel out of the picture. While he wasnt capable of killing him, he could send him out of the lost dimension. This was a back up he and georg had worked out when they learnt that Azazel was among those involved in the attack party.
Cao Cao then upped his speed for just a moment before thrust his spear and releasing a large blast of energy, one that was much stronger than before, towards Azazel who could jot deflect or dodge this time round since it was fired at a point blank range.
This blast caused Azazel to fly back, however before he could touch the boundary Cao Cao raised a finger and gave a small chant before firing a small orb behind Azazel. As soon as the orb it morphed into a small portal that carried Azazel out of the lost realm and closed itself before Azazel had a chance in coming back.
With his current job done Cao Cao gave a small sigh of relief before he turned to watch the results of his sub ordinates battles.
(Hercules vs Invigld, and Rossweisse)
Hercules gave out a manical grin as he prepared to battle the two young devils infront of him. He was excited to test out not only his sacred gear but also his natural immunity to magical attacks against two magic users of their calibre.
However he did decide to make the opening attack. Bring both of his fists together he pointed them at the two girls and released two explosions towards the two girls who jumped aside to dodge it.
"Be careful Invigld chan, this guy looks as uf he has a very good defence do not waste a single moment in your attack." Rossweisse warned her Seriously. Invigld just nodded in response.
It was then that both the girls went on the offensive, with Invigld creating two giant serpents made of Ice and fired them at Hercules while Rossweisse created some 30 magical circles each with a different spell and fired them at their opponent.
Hercules however in response merely grinned he crossed his arms infront of chest like a shield, but otherwise made no change in his posture as he let the incoming attacks hit him at full force. Naturally a small explosion took place when contact was there but there was no other reaction.
"Do you think that we got him?" Invigld asked inquisitively.
"No, I don't think we did, the way he blocked looked as if he sure he would come out ok. Non the less I would like to think that our attacks did him some damage at least." Rossweisse answered not taking her eyes of the smoking crator in front of her.
And sure enough a few moments a completely unharmed Hercules emerged from within the crator. His unscathed condition caused both Invigld and Rossweisse to widen their eyes in shock.
"What? How? Its not possible." Rossweisse stuttered out in shock.
"Cao Cao main have told you that I am the descendant of Hercules, and I am sure that you know my ancestor was famous for the completion of his trials. What you don't know is that my ancestor actually ate the flesh of the neamean lion giving him the same strength and veritable immunity to all sorts of blunt and magical attacks. You will have to do much better than that if you wish to come out victorious today." Hercules said with a big smile.
"Now if you do not mind, I will be going on the offensive." Hercules finished his smile turning sinister. And just like that he jumped towards Invigld and Rossweisse all the while firing small but quite numerous missiles at the duo.
Invigld and Rossweisse both flew backwards all the while dodging the missiles. However the missiles did follow them with the occasional one managing to hit them. The girls did keep up their attacks as well but it was for naught in front of Hercules immense immunity to magical attacks. Soon the girls felt their magical cores drain and werent able to dodge the last of the missiles attacking them.
Losing conciousness fast the duo were not able to dodge as Hercules reared back his fist and punched both the girls causing them to crash to the ground unconscious. With his work done Hercules grabbed both the girls and started walking back to where Cao Cao was waiting.
(Narumi vs Jeanne D arc)
Narumi stood glaring at Jeanne, her normally her orange colored eyes were slowly turning to their blood red version. Despite this jeanne stood opposite her with a teasing smile on her face.
"Ara are you feeling angry? Then come to your onee san she will fix you right up." Jeanne teasingly said as she un-sheathed her rapier.
Narumi growled angrily before taking a calming breath, she then bought out all 5 of her tails and coated her fists with her senjutsu. And then after taking a stance charged at Jeanne. Jeanne was slightly taken aback by the speed of Narumis moment but was able to cleanly dodge, her face did become slightly serious when she saw how the ground cratored at Narumis punch.
"Ara, such force, onee san will have to get serious and punish you." She said before charging at Narumi and started attacking her with sharp fencing like thrusts. Narumi had to make several close dodges to avoid the accurate thrusts coming from Jeanne all of them were targeted towards her vital spots.
Narumi jumped back before rearing her fist back causing a blue coloured flame to appear on her hand. She then thrust her hand forward and called out "Hiken." A large fist of fire flew towards Jeanne who jumped back before slicing it in half.
She then decided to take things to the next level while calling out " Blade Blacksmith balance breaker:- Stake victum Dragon." As soon as she finished a large amount 9f silvery swords erupted from the ground and then started rising into the air. At around 10 metres in height the collection of swords broke down and a large silvery dragon was seen standing in its place. The dragon roared out and Narumi felt waves upon waves of magic hit as she felt the dragons power.
"This is one of my favourite moves, do you like it? Even if you dont you get to play with it." Jeanne said as she launched the dragon towards Narumi.
Cursing Narumi jumped backwards to avoid the attack before turning around and running. As she ran she also evaded all of the projectile attacks coming towards her. In a flash she turned around a sucked in a deep breath before releasing at once in the form of a blue "Kitsune Bi fireball." She called spewing a good amount of fire from her mouth. The attack didn't stop there as she continued spewing multiple fireballs of the same size at the dragon with quick success.
The quick contact of the fireballs caused a explosion to ensue. Narumi landed on the floor panting slightly winded due to the fight. Normally she had more endurance but due to her mothers kidnapping and having to control the ley lines had taken a toll on her leaving her with much less stamina than she would normally have.
However she did not have enough time to recover as the silver dragon burst through the wall of smoke its jaws just above Narumi. Just as its jaws were about to bite her in half Narumi crossed her arms and called out "ENKAI" A large pillar of fire erupted from narumi and flew upwards into the dragon causing the silver dragon to explode causing a large wall of smoke to appear.
Jeanne knew that her dragon was defeated but did not know if Narumi was still there or not. The explosion had happened quiet close to her. She however was bought out of her musings when several green fireflies flew out of no where and towards her. It was only Jeannes enhanced battle senses that allowed her to avoid the brunt of the firey explosion that took place.
Gritting her teeth she looked over to the last spot Narumi had been in to finding thinning smoke. The smoke soon cleared revealing a panting narumi, her hair were now open and in complete disarray, her battle kimono had several tears in it, while she had a number of bruises on her body due to the close exposure to the previous explosion, which she had taken head on in point blank range.
Looking at her damaged armor and her opponents battered and beaten state she decided to finally end things here. taking a step back she charged at Narumi at high supernatural esque speeds and hit Narumi with her rapier several times before sending her flying into a wall unconscious. Finally done with her task she grabbed Narumi and lifted her up to her shoulder and then walked back to the rest of the group.
