It's been a few weeks since the vali team celebration and after that vali has been meeting with azazel having a discussion about supposed appearances of the evil dragons in the city of nagoya where he was currently staying
Flashback
Azazel: Vali has some people of mine who are trying to gather information from Qlippoth but they report seeing apparitions of evil dragons in nagoya but we are not sure if it was them or not so they would like you to go there to find out if it is real or not.
Vali: well I don't mind doing a mission, I'll just gather the people to go there.
Azazel: actually it would be good just you and naga to go from your team, I would like the rest to go with tobio in a small town in europe that has the same problem, so do you mind if they go?
Vali: If they don't have anything against me, I don't have any problems, so it's just me and naga on this mission.
Azazel: not really! you will not go alone
Vale: How so!
Azazel: good actually
flashback end
sigh* I still don't understand why they came, azazel and her annoying habit of deciding things without warning or asking the other's opinion.vali thought as she looked at a group of people that turned out to be the gremory group
Issei: hey vali when is your friend coming?
who asked this question was his sworn rival host of the red dragon emperor hyoudou issei.
Vali: I told you he's coming.
Issei: But he's already taking too long!
Vali: be patient.
they were waiting for the arrival of naga who had not arrived as he was busy with other things
Rias: good but your friend is taking too long.
Vali: if you want to go back to kuoh, feel free, I won't stop you but if you decide to stay, please close the racket because her complaint is already making my ears hurt.
Rias: well we won't do that
Vali: To begin with, why did you decide to come, I doubt there was any need for you to come just to confirm a rumor that may not even be true.
Kiba: well azazel-sensei came talking to us about it and we were really wondering if we were going to come or not.
Akeno: even more so after knowing that the hakuryuukou would already be on this mission because we thought he might not need help
Vali: So why did you come?
Asia: good err...
Issei: The girls wanted to see some clothing stores that were quite famous in this city and there are also some very flashy attractions that they found very interesting.
the girls look at the floor in shame as they couldn't deny such a thing.
Vali: Seriously, you only came for the clothes, it's understandable if you want to see the attractions, but seriously, just to see the clothes is a pretty stupid excuse.
Xenovia: hey clothes are very important for women!
Vali: I know but you could have invented to do this at another time and not now!
when vali was starting to discuss their presence in the place, he stopped and realized that naga had arrived, he was flying and descended to the place.
Naga: hey vali, sorry for the delay because if you believe that silly azazel gave me a certain amount of work a little before I got ready to come to nagoya then I ended up being late because of that.
Vali: I believe considering the number of times I've been through this when azazel left it to give an important last minute warning.
while vali was talking to naga, the gremory group felt ignored with the exception of rias akeno kiba and koneko who looked at him in complete astonishment
Rossweisse: Excuse me, but what about this young man who just arrived?
Vali: well you better introduce yourself
Naga: that's right, well I'm the new member of team vali my name is naga nice to meet you
Rias: YOU!
rias spoke very loudly
naga felt confused and spoke
Naga: Have we already seen each other?
Akeno: ara ara don't tell me you already forgot about us.
naga thinks for a while until he remembers
Naga: ah you are those four demons I nicknamed the Idiot Squad.
Issei: what an idiot squad? Where do you know this guy from?
Rias: It's been almost a year now, we were out on patrol when we heard many sounds of battle going on and when we arrived at the place there were a lot of corpses of dead demons.
Akeno: they were demons that we didn't know and we didn't know anything about them until today we don't know anything about them.
Kiba: We noticed a presence that we knew was human and we decided to interrogate him though.
Koneko: when we asked who he was and why he did that, he said "get out of my way you useless bats", when we didn't move even when he said that he decided to draw his sword so we were also prepared to fight.
Asia: and what happened?
Rias: A complete defeat for our side
rias spoke bitterly
naga laughed at this and said
Naga: hm I remember that day, you tried to coordinate your attacks but you were beaten like a child is beaten by its mother hahaha.
naga laughed as he remembered the confrontation
Naga: And the only reason you were still alive was because I was hunting another group of demons.
Rias: Don't think we're the same as before?
Naga: I can tell you're not the same as before but that doesn't mean you've gotten stronger than me
before rias could say anything vali interrupted
Vali: hey let's go if you want to keep talking do it while we walk.
vali said that then the group started to walk
Kiba: and what makes you believe that you are stronger than us.
Naga: let's see as you already said, a year has passed and until that moment I've already gone through several battles and I've gotten stronger besides that I've reincarnated as a fallen angel thus increasing my physical abilities even more but if that's not enough I can give you a rematch
when he said that the four got blood in their eyes for the rematch
Naga: and I would like to see if you guys improved especially you kiba after all as a swordsman I can say that your swordsmanship a year ago was very bad
kiba didn't say anything because he was right his skills back then weren't good
Issei: By the way, did the rest of your team not come?
issei asked vali
Vali: azazel said he needed them to go with ikuse tobio to another place and different from here the apparitions of evil dragons were confirmed.
Rias: but it doesn't make sense why azazel didn't send us to go with tobio-san and send you and your team to come and investigate the city?
Vali: I know why he did that, but it was to be expected because I often wonder what goes on in azazel's head.
and so they kept walking looking for clues until it was dark but the result was
Rias: nothing, no suspicious movement and we were walking all day.
rias complained because they walked around for several hours but did not find anything relevant
Vali: well we will continue tomorrow, naga let's go to the hotel where azazel rented us rooms.
Naga: let's go, I want to sleep like a rock.
Issei: wait what about us?
Vali: azazel told you to manage after all renting rooms won't be a problem for you, that's what he said
Rias: And which hotel were you staying at?
Vali: silver moon hotel.
Rias: well we will stay there too
so the group left for the hotel and when they got there vali and naga already left for their rooms because they had already rented them through azazel.
vali was already in the room lying on the bed when he hears albion's voice
Albion: (Hey, how does it feel to have this bunch of people with you on this mission?).
Vali: Honestly, I'm not used to many people with me except my team, but I don't think it's that bad.
Albion:( I understand, well if you don't find anything in the next few days why not enjoy and have fun in this city.)
vali thought about what albion said and decided
Vali: I'll think about what you said
he said as he fell asleep
after everyone had had a good night's sleep, the group was leaving the hotel to continue the search and they decided to do so at 9 am.
after they had breakfast they were already leaving the hotel and vali decided to tell them what they should do.
Vali: Well I think it's better if we split into groups so we can cover a larger area looking for anything suspicious.
Rias: Seems like the right thing to do considering we walked around town for a long time yesterday and didn't find anything.
Vali: well, me and naga go left and you go right, let's go with this naga
Naga: ok
Before rias or the rest of the group could say anything, vali was already leaving with naga.
Rossweisse: I think someone should go with them.
Asia: Don't you think he'll get mad if he tells someone to go with him without asking?
Rias: we'll have to risk it, xenovia gasper and koneko go with them and look for clues
xenovia/koneko/gasper: hai, buchou
Irina: I will too
so the four went with vali
rias: well let's go.
vali was walking with naga looking for something unusual but felt the presence of the gremory group with them
Vali: I thought I told you to go the other way
Xenovia: well we came with you because we think that the more people it will be the better to understand something that maybe others
vali looked at her but decided not to say anything because she didn't do anything wrong
Vali: Just don't ask us to stop for nonsense.
Naga: you're kuroka's little sister, aren't you?
naga asked koneko she was walking in silence
Koneko: yes I'm her sister.
Naga: wow, you are very different from her! kuroka doesn't stop talking every 1 minute and it's also quite loud while you were quiet the whole time and didn't talk that much
Koneko: nee-sama has always been like this
Irina: so naga-san you were human before right but you had combat skills to kill demons, which you learned because I don't think you were from the church.
Naga: I wasn't from the church, I learned from my late master that he was a demon hunter.
Irina: wow but how did you end up knowing the supernatural?
Naga: Let's just say it was pure accident that I ended up getting involved in all this
Irina: Really?
Naga: Yes, that's how it happened.
while naga was talking to irina vali was walking quietly until xenovia decided to say something.
Xenovia: They are getting along well.
says xenovia looking at naga and irina who were talking
Vali: Good naga is easy to interact with other people when he wants to.
Xenovia: and so far nothing suspicious I'm starting to think this evil dragons story was just the imagination of the people who came here
Vali: Or they are just very good at hiding their presence as far as I remember none of you had suspected or noticed kokabiel's presence in kuoh during that incident.
Xenovia: Yeah, that could be it too.
they continued walking for a while but the result was the same.
naga saw an ice cream parlor and decided to say something.
Naga: hey guys it's so hot today how about we stop for a little while for some ice cream?
Xenovia: good idea, it was already getting too hot, even more walking without stopping
Koneko: I want too.
Irina: I would also like to stop for ice cream
Gasper: hmm...I'd like that too if you don't mind.
Naga: and there vali is there a problem?
Vali: I don't see any problem because a stop won't be bad at all.
they went to the table and sat down less naga who decided to go order
Naga: so which ice cream would you like?
koneko: chocolate
Xenovia: strawberry
Irina: I want dulce de leche ice cream
Gasper: I'll have passion fruit
Vali: It doesn't matter to me.
everyone said which flavor they wanted less value because he's not really into ice cream, so any one was good for him.
Naga: ok, I'll go ask for the ice cream.
after a few minutes naga arrived with their ice creams.
Naga: here they are! By the way, since you didn't choose a flavor, I decided to get a vanilla one for you.
Vali: okay, I don't care much about that.
Gasper: so which flavor did you choose naga-san.
Naga: I decide to try the green tea flavor.
everyone couldn't stand it and started to suck the ice cream
Irina: this is very delicious!
irina spoke extremely happily with the tasty ice cream.
Xenovia: It's really these things besides being refreshing they are also delicious.
vali was taking his quiet but decided to speak
Vali: Although I'm not really into eating ice cream, I don't think there's any ice cream that tastes bad.
Albion: (Vali! I feel an ominous presence in that forest to the north)
Vali: is it moving?
Albion: (for now it's standing in the same place)
Vali: ok, guys let's go to a forest to the north, albion felt something in that place.
n/x/i/g: understood
the group finished with their ice cream quickly and decided to leave for the forest and when they got there they broke up and vali began to feel the same sinister presence until he saw a very large house fallen to pieces and abandoned
Vali: There's something bad in this house, let's check it out.
when they went to do that, a powerful magic went towards them and caused a strong explosion but thanks to the speed of reaction of naga and vali they used defensive magic to protect them
Naga: It looks like Albion was really right but there are a lot of them here.
Xenovia and irina were already drawing their swords and koneko and gasper getting into combat stance, vali took a step forward entering his balance break mode
Vali: It doesn't matter, let's finish them off
vali went first attacking several enemies with Nordic magic while naga drew his sword and was quick together with xenovia and irina to face the enemies while koneko and gasper were defending themselves from the others.
naga gave precise cuts attacking vital points of her enemies and was easily blocking the monsters' blows, xenovia and irina were also well easily dealing with blows, koneko was spacing enemies with strong blows giving powerful punches in the face of her opponents and strong knees throwing They backed away and Vali delivered the final blows with his powerful magic throwing powerful bolts at them.
with that they quickly finished off their enemies
Xenovia: That was pretty quick.
Albion: (don't get distracted, we have more company)
At that, two strange people arrive with a group of evil dragons, one was a nekomata man with a big spear and was wearing a green outfit with light armor on his arms and another was in pre armor using a black sword and two without saying a word went to attack them.
the nekomata with the spear was very fast and tried to hit vali with it but vali dodged it and created a sword with his magic and with that he shocked it with his opponent's spear and the two began to fight at high speed
while the one in black armor went to attack xenovia and irina with his sword and then a battle between swordsmen began, even in two they were having difficulty trying to hit him irina I go behind him to hit him from above with her angel powers while xenovia tried to hit him from below with her durandal but it had no effect because he just took a step back and spun blocking irina's attacks and throwing xenovia away
Xenovia: they are very strong, their combat skills are high and the one with black armor only with his sword is able to attack and defend himself from our blows with precision
Black knight: give up brats you are too weak.
Xenovia: Do not underestimate us, black swordsman.
Black Knight: Foolish girl, I see the current user of durandal is quite weak and lacks wisdom
the two left on top of the opponent, attacking powerful right left down front with their swords but the enemy was blocking with certain ease.
meanwhile naga along with koneko and gasper were dealing with the evil dragons, naga was dealing with him without breaking a sweat attacking them with spears of powerful light already gasper was stopping their time for koneko to attack them with his senjutsu and the battle just kept getting intense.
issei pov
currently we were walking around looking for clues but so far we haven't had any luck and for my bad luck rias and akeno-san wanted to go into some stores to buy clothes and some souvenirs and it was me who was left to carry that, even asia bought something but it was at the insistence of the others she did
Issei: Could it be that the others were luckier.
Rias: I don't know but we've been walking for a long time but we haven't found anything.
rias said tired
Akeno: I think we should meet them because it's getting late.
Rossweisse: I agree, since we didn't find anything we'll be back soon
Kiba: Yeah.
but when we were about to go, something happened and we ended up being teleported somewhere where there was no one
Rias: what's going on?
all of us were already in combat position but we didn't notice anyone's presence, but we didn't feel anyone's presence
Kiba: I can't feel anyone's presence nearby but someone shouldn't be that far away.
before we could come up with a plan a shadow came quickly and had a big weapon that I recognized was a hammer and as we were caught by surprise he quickly threw the first blow and hit it very hard with his first one throwing it far away.
Issei: akeno-san
I scream in despair as she was extremely injured and couldn't get up
Rias: akeno
Asia: akeno-san
rias and akeno run beside her with asia using her healing powers desperately as akeno's condition was terrible
Issei: bastard
I already have the armor and I try to attack him but something attacks me throwing me away.
Kiba: Issei-kun
kiba screams but then makes a move to dodge a sword just in time otherwise he would have ripped his head off.
two other people turned out to be one was a very large person with a great physique and used a large ax and the other wore yellow armor with a sword with a hilt looking like it was taken from a tree.
Yellow Knight: Looks like we're going to have a little fun taking on these silly demons.
so the knight went up attacking kiba with all his blows it was strong and they were making several cuts on kiba but kiba was managing to defend some blows but i don't have time to think because the big guy is on top of me trying to hit me with his huge ax and I manage to dodge it but I don't have time to react because he gives a strong punch that breaks several parts of my armor
( boost boost boost boost boost )
Issei: dragon shot
I throw my technique at him at close range but nothing happens because he goes after me again and I prepare him for battle
while rias was with asia and rossweisse trying to cure akeno, they were preparing to try to defeat the person with a hammer but three more people arrived, one with a medieval club, another with a medieval ax and another person with a spear
Rias: now the situation is worse
Rosaweisse: rias-san we'll have to do our best not to reach asia or akeno.
the four users were attacking the two and rossweisse tried to hit with their nordic magic but they manage to dodge accurately, rias tries to hit them with their power of destruction but they block with their weapons, the two try to keep them away because if they arrive close might not be able to defeat them.
Issei was fighting with difficulty because his opponent, besides being strong, was extremely skilled and agile in combat.
Draig: ( aibo, you better change form because that way you won't be able to defeat him )
Issei: It seems so
I, who is about to awaken
Am the Red Dragon Emperor who holds the truth of the king up high
Holding the infinite hopes and unbreakable dreams and walking the path of righteousness
I will become an Emperor of Crimson Dragon
And I will lead you to the Path of Heaven, glowing in deep crimson light!
(Cardinal Crimson Full Drive!).
after entering his crimson mode, issei started to go on the offensive dominating the monster, he ends up hitting his stomach throwing it upwards and he takes advantage and uses the crimson blast on him with all his power making a huge explosion.
and in that the monster was defeated, Issei desperate to know the situation of his companions went there and saw them with great difficulty in battle, kiba was being dominated in close combat, not having space to attack.
the yellow knight pierced kiba's shoulder with his sword
Kiba: arghh
kiba tries to attack him but with his dexterity he easily dodges the sword and he changes position and with the swing of his sword try to hit kiba's heart but the yellow knight is hit by issei's fist and is thrown away.
Issei: are you ok kiba?
Kiba: To tell you the truth, I'm really bad I'm losing a lot of blood and my shoulder is really bad.
Yellow knight: one more demon for me to play with, this will make me very excited, after all this swordsman is very weak
saying that he will attack Issei with his sword and Issei will also attack and the two begin to exchange blows, the battle is fierce because Issej is not able to hit any blows and the sword is also not able to make his sword penetrate his armor, Issei trying to punch him in the stomach, but the swordsman jumps back and surprises Issei by casting light magic directly on his legs, hitting him and Issei suffers a lot of pain.
kiba tries to help him but when he tries to move he realizes that magic spheres were thrown in his direction he even tries to move but as he is quite injured and hit by the spheres leaving him in a worse state.
Issei: Kiba! but are you kidding me besides being a swordsman he is also a wizard
Rias: issei let's retreat we are outnumbered and akeno and kiba are unable to fight
rias communicates.
in this issei its all his speed he has at the moment due to his injury and takes kiba and goes to rias and the others and when he sees her trying to give those four a way, he uses the crimson blast on them causing an explosion but he didn't use it to attack them and rather to distract them while fleeing with the others.
End
