Life 1. Price Lucifer

After we were teleported, we saw a vast place; despite that, we couldn't see anyone on it. However, that wasn't the weirdest part. The weirdest part was how the place looked like.

It looked like a grey rocky area, but it lacked mountains. The sky was purple and it had orange clouds, even then the sky was filled with stars. There wasn't either a sun or a moon.

"Just what kind of place is this…?"

Just as Ram asks that on a worried tone, we hear a voice from behind us.

"I once saw a place like this on a nightmare when I was a kid. I always felt it looked like the perfect apocalyptic scenery."

As soon as soon as we heard that, we looked back and saw a group of people. They are six persons wearing silver masks with a red X on it and a man wearing full body red armour. It's clear who they are…!

"Seven Sins! It's hard to believe you're so stupid to show yourselves so fast."

"Stupid? I wouldn't say such thing, Rito Yuma. You are the one who believes you're safe being close to Ossan and Azazel. Mal Beliaruin sent me a message yesterday telling me good things about you, but I think he's overrating you; after all, you're missing something: you don't know what true fear is."

"Maybe I don't know, but you're the one who's being stupid here. Showing up like that on the place we were set to have our [Rating Game] against Price Lucifer."

Just as I said that, Pride started laughing like a maniac.

"You don't get it, right?! You don't know the true identity of me, the Red Dragon Emperor?! Then, I'll show you!"

Just like that, Pride dispels his armour, showing us his actual appearance. He has long white hair and bishonen face.

"I'm the King who represents The Sin of Pride, the Red Dragon Emperor, Price Lucifer!"

After The Sin of Pride – The Red Dragon Emperor Price Lucifer said that, the other members of the Seven Sins shown their true faces.

"I'm the Rook who represents The Sin of Wrath, Magnus Belial!"

"I'm the Queen who represents The Sin of Gluttony, Salvon Beelzebub."

"I'm the Pawn who represents The Sin of Envy, Caitlin Leviathan!"

"I'm the Knight who represents The Sin of Greed, Paddad Mammon!"

"I'm the Bishop who represents The Sin of Lust, Lunorlla Asmodeus!"

"… I'm the Grim Reaper who represents The Sin of Sloth, Orbeus Belphegor."

Now that the Seven Sins showed their real faces to us, Price points at me while he keeps talking.

"You get it now, do you?! The Seven Deadly Sins are us, Price Lucifer's Peerage!"

… This guy is so over the top all the time? If so, I wouldn't stand living with him at all. I think it's time to crush his dreams.

"Everyone knew it already."

Mint is the one to crush them. Price puts on a confused face after hearing that.

"Eh? You already knew my peerage and I were the Seven Sins?"

"Yes… it was extremely obvious actually…"

I say that, crushing his dreams even harder. I mean, who didn't notice it? You have to be pretty bad noticing clues to not notice it.

In fact, the reason I knew it was him is because he always showed himself using [Scale Mail], and taking into count Grigori's [Longinus] database says the current wielder of [Boosted Gear] is Price Lucifer, it was beyond obvious.

"Well, not surprising you was disappointing…. However, I still have the chance to show you the true fear. Lust, do it!"

Lunorlla creates multiple magic circles on the sky, out of which many monsters come from!

"The monsters we created using Beliaruin's magic, while most of them were killed by you, we collected a group of over 1000 to use them on this day. Now, it's time for you to die."

Just as he says that, I push the Grigori emergency button. As I do that, a large crowd of people appear.

The Cadres of Grigori Baraqiel, Shemhazai-sama, Armaros-sama and Sahariel-sama alongside Governor General Azazel-sama appear with their respective teams behind them. Not actually shocking, but Denpachi and Nicolas aren't standing with our team, but side to side with the Cadres. It shows just how important they are.

Closer to us, there's the Seven [Great Satan] who are led by Lucifer-sama, alongside their peerages. Behind them, the Three Magician Kings are preparing some magic circles beforehand.

On the other hand, Genbu Domon and Suzaku Himejima are standing alongside Byakko Shinra. Along with them are Kurama and Okita. Behind them is a group of Onmyoji and Yokai. Our Shinto Factions friends are here.

There are also other groups: Exorcists brought by Nero (Dist and Virgilio are between them), an army of Fairies and Spriggan led by Ginger and Storm, Tiffania Gremory and her peerage alongside Seila's, an army of Valkyries who trained with Edelross-sensei, and Sachiel with his Angel friends.

Finally, and most importantly, the other members of [Team Morning Star] are behind us. This army was created two days ago, when Lucifer-sama told the members of [Team Morning Star] to contact as many allies possible. I think we succeeded.

"Price, I'm ashamed. Not because of your acts, but because I always knew it was you, yet, I never ordered your arrest because you were my grandson. However, Azazel opened my eyes. It doesn't matter if you're family, you're a criminal, and for that, you must be arrested."

"Ossan, you don't understand the rationing behind my acts. Actually, you're the reason I have done everything so far."

Tatsuya breaks the lines and gets close to Price. The White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor are looking at each other. This scene is a delight to a [Sacred Gear] fan like I.

"You allied with a Cadre of Grigori, attacked the Fairy Kingdom, and committed multiple terroristic attacks since the day of the revelation. How Lucifer is the source to all of them?"

With his deep and manly voice, Tatsuya mentioned a really evident flaw on Price's logic. He, however, just laughs.

"You're blind! All of you, you don't want to see the problem with the world!"

Price extends his arms, probably in an attempt to look more menacing.

"I allied with Satanael because he would help me to exterminate the White Dragon Emperor forever by extracting the [Divine Dividing] and then destroying it. I looked for Lavender's help because I wanted an army, so having a king like him on my side would have served me; Beliaruin gifting me this army of monsters was beyond my expectations."

"But, why are you doing all these things?"

After Lucifer-sama, Price answered something with apocalyptic implications.

"I'm going to release Satan."

… He said it! The forbidden name, the name no Devil should say!

"You know I forbid mentioning the Devil King's name without adding [Great] before it!"

"And why would I follow your laws? After all, you were the one who sealed Satan in the first place."

He's mentioning an important story, something that happened around year and half before.

When the Mayan Faction asked the other Factions to show their existence to the human races, all of them accepted safely, except for the Christian Faction.

While Grigori accepted out of fear, God and the Devil King refused to that. Because of that, the Maya Hero Twins showed them some of their power; easily killing an army of around 100 Devils and Angels sent to kill them.

God decided to retreat and accept their conditions, but the Devil King didn't. He continued asking more and more Devils to face them, until the point where around a hundred thousand Devils were killed.

Behind his backs, the second in command on the Underworld, Lucifer-sama, made a rebellion, so the army stopped obeying the Devil King, and agreed to reveal himself before humanity, also against the Devil King's wishes.

After the revelation happened, the Devil King was accused by Lucifer-sama and other six important Devils for his crimes, specifically, for genocide. He was found guilty and sealed inside the Cocytus.

However, the weirdest thing possible happened: even sealed inside the Cocytus, the Devil King was still able to move, hear, talk, see; it seemed like he was just on a normal jail. God said it was because of his incomprehensible demonic power, but no one knows the exact cause.

"You said Satan would keep his voice on the decisions of the Underworld, but when was the last time you consulted something with him?"

"That man doesn't deserve to be asked, he was a genocidal bastard who was willing to sacrifice our race because of his wrath towards God."

"We're Devils; opposing God is on our nature."

Lucifer-sama appeared he would explode out of sheer rage at any moment. It's clear the topic of the Devil King is something he wanted to avoid.

"You don't know him! He violated the rules of interaction between the factions and raped as many goddesses as he could! My mother, Venus, she never forgot herself for allowing me to be born! You have no idea the pain I have to go through, having that man as a father, abusing me and forbidding me from meeting my own mother!"

"Like I cared about you or anything you did in the past."

"If that's true, then why did you call your group The Seven Deadly Sins?"

I get what he means. During the era of the Devil King, the group that nowadays is known as the Seven Benevolent Devil Kings, the Seven [Great Satan], were known as The Seven Deadly Sins. On those days they were more like supreme commanders of the army rather than politicians.

By the way, the leaders of the Angels, the Seven Great Seraphim, are also known as The Seven Heavenly Virtues: the Virtue of Charity Michael, the Virtue of Chastity Uriel, the Virtue of Diligence Gabriel, the Virtue of Humility Raphael, the Virtue of Kindness Ramiel, the Virtue of Patience Azriel, and the Virtue of Temperance Samiel.

"The Seven Deadly Sins was the name you used back when you served Satan. For said reason, as we carry your blood mixed with human blood, it was only logical to keep that name."

"Wait a minute; I feel I'm missing something."

Jin said that, apparently confused for the incomplete talk Lucifer-sama and Price are having.

"Why do you want to release the Devil King? I believed you wanted the Underworld to be governed by "The Strongest Devil", saying said Devil is also a Red Dragon. Isn't that you?"

Price laughs hysterically again. I wonder if this guy has a problem of some sort.

"For a Devil, you're pretty ignorant of our history. The Book of Revelations written by John, it is mentioned that Satan is able to turn into a Dragon, the Great Red Dragon. He, who's able to fight against God, is clearly the strongest Devil, the Super Devil. I want the Underworld to be ruled by him once more, I'll restore the natural order of the world."

I think his plan is beyond clear by this point. Price wants to release the Devil King so he, the Super Devil who is also known as the Great Red, can rule the Underworld again.

To do this, he created a team made from descendants of the Seven [Great Satan] who had mixed blood, naming it The Seven Deadly Sins, as a force to oppose Lucifer-sama. To increase his strength, he used Beliaruin's spell to create an army of monsters, as his plan to ally with the Fairies through Lavender failed.

And to get rid of the last obstacle on his plan, his fated rival the White Dragon Emperor, he joined forces with Satanael, who would extract [Divine Dividing] from Tatsuya's body to destroy the [Vanishing Dragon] forever.

All his others acts were damage made to take our eyes away from his actual plan, making it seem like they were acting randomly. Price planned everything, and everything has gone just as planned.

"And now, the Great Red Dragon will surge from the bottom of hell showing who the true Devil King is! You're dead, Ossan. Go after them; Operation John, start!"

As Price yelled that, the monsters ran towards us!

"[Team Morning Star], go to your respective positions! The rest, follow my lead!"

Lucifer-sama said that before flying away from us at supersonic speed, launching many spears of Light of the Morning Star towards the monsters, taking them with him.

As Lucifer-sama and the army recruited by us following him disappear from our view, we go on the groups set by Azazel-sama beforehand.

Ram, Kaihaku and Tenshi-kun went after Orbeus Belphegor. Haruka, María and Nero went after Paddad Mammon. Xie, Yami and Seila went after Lunorlla Asmodeus. Ham, Mint and Ellice went after Caitlin Leviathan. Rina, Subaru, Tsubasa and Seiryu went after Salvon Beelzebub. Jin, Goldentime, Edelross-sensei and Oryu went after Magnus Belial.

Finally, Tatsuya, Silverage, Akai and I go after the Red Dragon Emperor, the mastermind behind The Seven Deadly Sins, Price Lucifer himself.

"Well, well, Silverage, Hilbert told me good things about your power. Seeing as that boy Rito was able to defeat you, and that Akai was able to fight against him evenly, you should be a good match too."

Price points towards Tatsuya, having a blazing look on his eyes.

"However, my opponent is you. White Dragon Emperor Tatsuya Shirogane, you're my fated rival. I'm anxious to see what you're able to do!"

[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker]

Price summons his armour on and creates an intense aura around him!

"Are you ready?"

[Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker]

As Tatsuya summons his armour, Silverage, Akai and I follow him!

" "[Balance Break]!" "

Silverage is covered by [Lucifuge Night Celestial Armour], Akai creates his [Grigori Sword] and I "upgrade" my disk with [Numberless Card: The Fool].

"Yes, we are!"

"Ok. Let's begin this, our decisive battle!"

As Price says that, we charge forward to start the greatest battle in our lives!
