Chapter 39

—You have a difficult road ahead of you, child. If you think that being his fiancée will have an easy life, you have no idea what will really happen. At some point you will be forced to lead and when that happens, because of the way you currently are, you will fail. But don't worry, I'll take care of turning you into someone capable of navigating the intrigues of the courts, you'll be able to take the defense of a castle and most importantly, you'll be able to take the lead when he can't —

Valerica to Asia at the beginning of her training

The glare of the sun illuminated the morning that began. It had been a few hours since the attack on the meeting in the underworld happened and Asia was looking at the assembled leaders. She was currently in a spacious room and in it were the four Maous, Azazel, Shemhazai, Michael and Odin. The reason for everyone's presence was that an emergency meeting of the Kuoh Pact was taking place and she was attending in place of her husband.

"So, Asia-chan. How's Ed-chan doing?" Azazel asked looking at Asia as he leaned back on his chair.

"He is resting and has not yet woken up and based on the results of the tests that have been performed on him, it is likely that he will not wake up for a few more days." Asia answered as she put on a sad look when talking about her husband.

And it is that after everything was over, Edzard had fallen unconscious and still showed no signs of waking up. None of those who knew him could understand the reason for this. The guesses were that it could be because of the shock of seeing his parents alive or because his body was forced to resist a large amount of power abruptly. Unfortunately, outside of those guesses, no one knew the real reason. Furthermore, she still remembered the reactions the girls had upon learning the identity of the two Champions of Molag Bal.

Flashback

Asia let out a worried sigh as she finished telling the girls everything.

"Are Edzard's parents still alive?!" was the cry of all the girls at the end of processing all the information.

The scream had been so loud that she had to cover her daughter's ears so that her sensitive ears would not be damaged. They were all in a room in the palace, which used to be used as a meeting place for only the girls. This room was the only one that Edzard hadn't used to enter since they took possession of the place.

"Yes, both Roland Eitarson and Selene Cumberland are still alive." Asia said once she saw that the girls had calmed down.

"B-b-but h-h-how is it possible?" Aika asked as her mind tried to snap out of the shock of knowing her «in-laws» were alive.

"Don't know." Asia replied looking at the ground. "I can't understand how this happened. They were both supposed to have died in that fire years ago, but apparently they didn't and ended up arriving in Coldharbour."

"That's Molag Bal's realm of Oblivion, right?" Lint asked remembering what she knew about the Daedric Prince of Domination.

Asia replied with a nod of her head.

That answer plunged the girls into an awkward silence, because none of them knew what to do.

"How shall we proceed from now on?" Valerie asked looking at Asia.

"I do not know. And I do not know what to do. The blue color in her eyes is the consequence of drinking the blood of Coldharbour."

"Blood from Coldharbour? What's that?" Mittelt asked in confusion.

"It is a special poison, created from Azure Plasm, which is a magic shard of chaotic creation that in Coldharbour takes the form of lakes. Once consumed, this poison slowly begins to steal the will and mind of the consumer. There is only known cure for that poison, the only way i-i-is…" Asia's voice started to crack as she tried to say what was the only way to save someone who consumed that poison.

Asia's answer made the eyes of the rest of the girls darken, as they understood what Asia couldn't say. As they clenched their fists, everyone's eyes began to fill with tears, because they knew that the man, they all loved would have to commit a crime as serious as parricide to save at least the soul of his parents.

Asia closed her eyes as tears streamed down her face but opened them again when she felt someone touch her face. Her eyes looked at the small hand that her daughter had placed on her cheek. A small smile of comfort and trust was present on Marie's face. The little girl's smile was so contagious that Asia smiled a little and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Don't cry, mom. I'm sure dad will wake up soon and quickly find a way to save grandparents." Little Marie said with a smile and a few words that showed that she was smarter than could be expected from a girl her age.

The rest of the girls looked at Marie and wiped their tears as smiles appeared on their faces.

"It's true. That idiot is capable of that and more." Mittelt said as she wiped away her tears with the sleeve of her dress.

"That's how it is. He will be able to save them." Valerie said with a smile as she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief that she had taken from her dress.

Asia nodded as she wiped away her tears. "You are right. He will do it; he will save them."

End Flashback

"I see. That's a bad thing. We were hoping that he could go and lend support to the group that has been sent to confront Loki." Sirzechs said with clear concern in his voice.

Sirzechs's words made Asia gasp, as she never expected that they had already sent someone to deal with the Norse God. However, as she saw that all the leaders were there, she began to guess who had gone to fight Loki.

"I don't understand why none of you have gone. You are supposed to be the strongest of your factions, so it would be easy for you to deal with Loki." Asia said looking at the assembled Leaders.

Most of the leaders looked away while making embarrassed faces, the only ones who didn't make embarrassed faces were Azazel and Odin.

"They insisted and finally we gave in. That's why we wanted Edzard-dono to go help them to prevent them from being killed." Michael said with a sad smile on his face.

Asia looked at them and began to see why Edzard sometimes got mad at them. "Normally I could refuse this request, but since we know that Loki is in league with Bal, this matter can already be considered as something to do with the daedras, so we will help them."

Asia's words made everyone smile with relief. However, before anyone spoke, Edzard's wife beat them to it.

"I need you to tell me who makes up that group. In addition, they will have to prepare some reinforcements, because I am afraid that, although we are strong in the group, we are not yet at the level necessary to defeat a God."

The leaders nodded to what Asia said.

"About your first question, almost the entire ORC has gone, the only one missing is Gasper-kun. There is also Sona, her queen, and her pawn. In addition to having Odin-dono's bodyguard." Sirzechs replied looking at Asia. "About reinforcements, we'll try to send out some Ultimate-class Devils as soon as possible."

"It's okay. However, before I go, I will tell them that I will leave Tiamat to look after my daughter and keep an eye on Edzard." Asia said as she stood up from the chair and created a magic circle in her ear.

Sirzechs looked at Asia and asked. "Asia-san. Do you also plan to take young Ingvild with you?"

"Yes. While I wish she was undercover longer, the group will need her help to confront Loki, especially since Ed is gone. I hope that nothing that happens here is divulged. It's still not entirely safe for her to be freely in the underworld." Asia said looking seriously at the leaders present.

Sirzechs put on a smile and nodded along with the rest of those present.

Asia nodded in response and started talking to the rest of the girls and told them that they should prepare for a last-minute mission. Aside from those words, she also told them to prepare some potion supplies, since they would most likely need them.

After finishing speaking, Asia said goodbye to those present and using a magic circle, she teleported to the palace to prepare for the battle to come.

The wind gently swayed the curtains on the windows of a large white room. In the middle of this room and surrounded by some demonic medical devices, Edzard could be seen resting on the only bed in the room.

Beside the bed, looking at Edzard, was Asia, and next to her were Aika, Valerie, Mittelt, Ingvild, and Lint.

"Ed, we're leaving." Asia said as she reached out her hand to hold Edzard's hand. "We will be back sooner than you expect. By the time we get back, we hope you'll be awake."

After those words, Asia approached Edzard and gave him a kiss on the forehead. This action was imitated by Edzard's concubines. When they were all done, Lint and Ingvild walked over and took Edzard's right hand in theirs.

Walking away, the group of six girls began to retreat from the room. When they came out, they saw Tiamat holding Marie in her arms.

"I leave the security of this building and that of Edzard and Marie in your hands, Tiamat." Asia said as she walked over and gave Marie a kiss on her forehead, who responded to her gesture with a small laugh.

"Don't worry Asia. No one will dare to attack this place." Tiamat answered with a smile.

Asia nodded and after saying goodbye, she left the place being followed by the rest of the girls.

As they walked, Mittelt quickened her pace and stood next to Asia.

"So, boss. What is the grandiose plan to defeat a God and his minions?" Mittelt asked.

"Attack with everything we have from the start." Asia replied as she began to harmonize her Magicka with her magic power. "We are fighting against a God, so we must all be very careful. Since we don't know how strong Loki is compared to the leaders of the Old Satan faction. Also, Fenrir will surely be there, so it would be more than prudent for us to be extremely careful when fighting."

The girls nodded and waited two minutes. When they felt Asia's magic power change, they prepared for what was to come. Feeling that her two sources of power harmonized, Asia took out a sheet of paper and used the magic circle that was inscribed on it to teleport the entire group to the battlefield.

Issei dodged Fenrir's attacks as best he could, who was now chasing him across the battlefield. He was moving at a higher speed than he normally had thanks to using the Boosted gear's balance breaker. And it is that, fortunately for the reincarnated devil, he had managed to obtain this state after pressing Rias's nipples while he was fighting against Koneko's sister the night before. So, with this new power, he hoped to at least give Loki a bit of a fight. However, the battle against Loki had been as a normal person would think it would be when sending a group of youngsters to fight against an evil God. That is to say, Loki threw everything he had at them from the beginning, because he was pissed off with what had happened at the meeting the night before.

However, by chance or because an unknown higher entity protected them, they were still alive. The battle was tough, but some good things had happened. And it is that, in the middle of the battle, both Koneko and Akeno had accepted their own powers. Unfortunately, this increase in power did nothing to immediately turn the tide of the battle.

"When are the reinforcements arriving?!" Issei yelled as she narrowly dodged Fenrir's jaws.

"Onii-sama said anytime!" Rias yelled back as he jumped and dodged the fire breath of a Midgardsormr clone.

Issei nodded and moving at high speeds, he tried to attack Loki, who was still flying lazily and looking at everything with a mocking expression. Seeing him completely focused on the battle, Issei tried to take him by surprise, so he launched a dragon shot at Loki, who simply moved his hands and created a magic circle, defending himself from the attack as if nothing had happened.

"Sekiryuutei... Is that the best you can do?" Loki asked with a tone of voice that made him look disappointed while his face was adorned with a mocking smile.

Issei was filled with anger when he saw Loki's smug face, so clenching his teeth, he launched himself to attack him with a clean punch. Issei threw blows left and right, but none managed to hit the Norse God, as he dodged or deflected them with relative ease. He was trying to hit the god for a while, but in the end, he didn't achieve anything. However, in an oversight that he had, he was hit by a not very powerful spell, which made him fall back until he was close to Koneko.

Loki raised his hand and tried to finish Issei and Koneko using a more powerful spell, but he couldn't do it, as his hand was stopped by a rope made of white energy.

"Ummm..." Loki said with a raised eyebrow at the rope holding his hand. Following the rope with his eyes, he saw that it came from Sona's pawn.

"Heh, heh, heh. Caught you." Saji said with a smirk on his face.

"Umm. This is nothing, little devil." Loki said as he made a magic circle appear on the rope that held him. To his surprise, the magic circle broke into several pieces while the rope was still intact. "Impossible. Can't I take it off?"

"Azazel-sensei has implanted all the sacred gears that contain Vitra's soul fragments into me." Saji said with a smile as he made use of his second sacred gear to conjure black flames, which ran the entire length of the rope that bound Loki and began to slowly weaken him.

While Saji managed to hold Loki down, Kiba and Xenovia stood up to Fenrir.

Both devils moved around the battlefield, displaying speed and reflexes, as they had managed to dodge several of the mythical wolf's attacks.

"We have to immobilize him!" Kiba yelled as he kept running.

Xenovia nodded to what her partner said and stopping abruptly, she charged at Fenrir. When she was only a few meters from the wolf, she slipped under Fenrir's paws, avoiding his jaws. When she was behind the wolf's back, she raised Durandal and prepared to launch an attack. However, Durandal's charge time seemed to have left her unprotected and Fenrir tried to take advantage of that.

The wolf lunged at Xenovia, but never got to touch the devil, as several swords came out of the ground and stopped the wolf's advance, who turned and saw Kiba, who had his sword stuck in the ground.

The same instant the wolf averted its gaze, Durandal was charged, so Xenovia released a powerful blast of holy power at Fenrir. The attack caught the wolf off guard and caused an explosion on impact. Unfortunately, when the dust generated by the explosion dissipated, it could be seen that Fenrir was completely unharmed.

Loki's son looked at Xenovia and growling, he charged at her, but he didn't get very far, as Rias's other knight took advantage of this, and sticking his sword back into the ground, created hundreds of blades, which managed to hold Fenrir.

Loki's son roared in anger as he felt held back and using his great strength, he began to advance. Fenrir's steps were slow, but steady. However, despite his progress, Fenrir couldn't get out of the trap, as Kiba was replenishing the blades that Fenrir destroyed very quickly.

"We will hold Fenrir! Attack the others!" Kiba yelled as he kept his concentration to keep holding the wolf, while Xenovia stood in front of him to provide cover and prevent them from attacking.

Issei agreed to what his friend said, so together with Koneko they began to attack Sköll. Sköll was the son of Fenrir and was similar in appearance to his father, only smaller, measuring between five and seven meters. Fenrir's son had tried to charge at Kiba and Xenovia to free his father. However, his attack was interrupted by Issei, who appeared next to him and launched a high hook, but Sköll managed to dodge the attack. After that, he tried to tear Issei apart with his jaws. However, before he did, Koneko appeared next to him and kicked him hard in the eye, temporarily blinding him.

"Issei-senpai." Koneko said looking at Issei once they managed to get a little away from Sköll.

Issei nodded and charging a dragon shot, he shot Sköll at point-blank range, but the wolf managed to dodge it at the last second.

"Looks like you're tough." Issei said and then shouted and together with Koneko charged against Sköll.

Both devils started attacking him with everything they had. Koneko began to attack throwing Senjutsu balls at Sköll, in an attempt to make the wolf follow them.

The wolf took the attacks but came out relatively unscathed. Roaring, he lunged at Koneko, who started jumping around to dodge the wolf's attacks, which were very fast. Koneko jumped to the side and Sköll managed to slip into her defense. However, he never got to bite Koneko, as Issei pushed him back with a Dragon shot.

"Koneko-chan. are you okay?" Issei asked approaching his Kouhai.

"Yes, Issei-senpai." Koneko answered looking at Sköll.

Issei nodded and also looked at Sköll. Without thinking, they both launched into trying to defeat Sköll or worst case, hold him off as long as they could until reinforcements arrived.

While Issei and Koneko kept one of Fenrir's sons busy, Rossweisse and Irina did the same with Hati. Sköll's brother was identical to his brother in appearance and power. Fenrir's second son was giving the two girls a hard fight, who were forced to dodge and then counterattack. Fortunately, both of them could fight well from a distance and that had allowed them to stay out of range of many of Hati's attacks.

Hati stood in front of both girls and bared his teeth before lunging at them. Seeing him charge, Irina, who had shown her friends that she was a reincarnated angel, reached her hand up and created a halo of light, which she threw at Hati. However, the attack failed, as the wolf jumped to the side.

Fenrir's son didn't stop after dodging Irina's attack. He kept running but had to stop and jump back as several elemental spells landed mere meters from his position. Looking up, the wolf saw that the attack was coming from Rossweisse. So, growling, Hati lunged at the Valkyrie.

Seeing her being attacked, Rossweisse wasted no time and began to fly to dodge the attack easily. Already in the sky, Rossweisse spread her arms out to the sides and conjured up a large number of magic circles. The circles blazed simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of elemental spells at Hati, who was forced to move around to try and dodge the attack. However, it was in vain, as Rossweisse's attack managed to hit the wolf, thus creating a huge explosion.

"It is over?" Irina asked seeing how the smoke began to dissipate.

Rossweisse looked into the smoke and shook her head, knowing full well how resilient Fenrir's children were.

When the smoke finished clearing, a Hati could be seen with a bit of singed fur, but nothing else. The wolf growled and began to run towards the girls, who began to fly to avoid Hati's attack. Already once at a height that they thought was safe, they began to attack Hati with halos of light and elemental spells.

The wolf saw the attacks and began to quickly dodge them. By dodging them, the wolf realized that he had a clear path to attack Kiba and Xenovia, so without thinking twice he started running towards where they were holding his father.

Rossweisse and Irina saw Hati running and didn't understand what was happening.

"What's going on? where he goes? " Irina asked looking puzzled as the wolf left.

Rossweisse looked at Hati and then looked where he was running. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was heading towards where Fenrir was.

"Irina-san! Hati must be stopped; he is heading towards Fenrir!"

Irina's eyes widened when she saw that Rossweisse was right. So, without a second thought, she started flying towards Hati. Rossweisse wasted no time and did the same. When both were close, they began to harass the wolf to make him change course. Hati dodged as many attacks as he could, and the ones he didn't, didn't do enough damage to stop his for good, so the son of Fenrir kept running almost without stopping.

"Rossweisse-san! We must stop it now!" Irina shouted as she launched several halos of light, this time not against Hati, but against the path he was trying to follow.

Rossweisse nodded and quickly created ten circles of magic. From these circles came several bolts of magic, which hit the path that Hati planned to follow. This made the wolf stop and when he did, he was faced by both girls.

"Sorry, bad doggie. But we must stop you." Irina said as she created a sword of light in her right hand and used her left hand to conjure a halo of light.

Rossweisse positioned herself next to Irina, ready to hold off Hati until the weapon that Odin had told her he would send to help them in battle arrived.

At the same time that some devils were holding Loki and his children, the sisters of two of the maous and their respective queens were fighting against a clone of Midgardsormr. Midgardsormr's clone was identical to the original in appearance, that is, it was a gray eastern dragon, but with the only distinctive difference being that it was about twenty meters long.

"Hah!" Rias yelled as she launched several orbs of destruction at the dragon.

Rias's attacks were fast enough to hit the Dragon King clone. Midgardsormr took the attacks squarely, causing an explosion. When the smoke from the explosion cleared, it could be seen that Midgardsormr was unharmed.

After Rias's attack failed, another devil launched its own attack.

"Holy lightning!" Akeno yelled as he used a lightning attack, which was empowered with holy power. The power of the spell was such that the clone of the dragon king fell back a few meters.

Seeing that their enemy had not fallen yet, Sona and her queen prepared to attack.

"This doesn't have when to end." Sona said as she began gathering magic in her hands to use against Midgardsormr.

Seeing his enemies prepare to attack him, Midgardsormr opened his jaws and released his dragon breath.

Midgardsormr's breath rushed towards the group of devils, who seemed to be easy prey for the attack. However, before it hit them, Tsubaki, the queen of Sona, flew at high speed and quickly got in front of the attack and clasping her hands together, summoned her sacred gear.

"Mirror Alice!" Tsubaki yelled as a highly decorated full-length mirror appeared in front of her hands.

Midgardsormr's breath hit the mirror, which resisted the attack very well, until finally the attack was returned to its owner. The clone of the dragon king roared loudly upon receiving his own attack, for it was returned with twice the force.

Seeing her enemy in such a state, Sona took advantage of this opportunity and quickly conjured a water dragon, which wrapped itself around Midgardsormr.

Midgardsormr, being trapped by the water dragon, quickly released his dragon aura and managed to break free of the spell by exploding the water dragon holding him, causing a small amount of mist, which quickly dissipated.

The clone's display of power amazed the devils fighting him.

"Despite being a simple clone, it shows that the genes from which it was created come from a Dragon King." Sona said as she cleaned her glasses, as they had been clouded by the mist caused by her water dragon being evaporated by Midgardsormr's aura.

"Yes. We must not lower our guard." Rias said crossing her arms as she looked at Midgardsormr.

Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno nodded and then began to charge magic, since they had to destroy this dragon in any way to be able to support the rest of their friends.

The battle continued for a long period of time. At this time, the ORC, Rossweisse, Irina, Sona, Tsubaki, and Saji continued their attack against their respective enemies.

In order to gain an advantage in combat, they each used their best attacks. It was thanks to this and perhaps a stroke of luck that they had managed to defeat their respective enemies. Issei and Koneko managed to defeat Sköll using a combination of attacks that consisted of Koneko attacking with Senjutsu balls, allowing her to cloud Sköll's sight. This created an opportunity, which was used by Issei to attack the wolf using his promotion to "Knight". The promotion allowed him to greatly improve his speed, which he used to increase the power of his attack, which consisted of using the holy sword Ascalon. The power of the attack was strengthened by the momentum of the speed, allowing Ascalon to pierce through Sköll's thick fur, piercing his heart.

At the same time that Sköll fell, Rossweisse and Irina managed to take down Hati thanks to a combined attack. This attack started with Irina using several halos of light when she saw that Hati tried to tear Rossweisse apart with his jaws. These halos managed to lock the wolf's jaw, causing it to be with its mouth open. Seeing this, Rossweisse wasted no time and began casting spells into the wolf's mouth, causing Hati to explode from within.

Finally, Rias, Sona, Akeno, and Tsubaki managed to defeat the dragon king clone using a combo attack, which cost more than half of their demonic power at the time.

The end of the fighting made it possible for everyone except Kiba and Xenovia, who were still holding Fenrir, to focus on Loki, so they approached Saji, who was still holding Loki. The Norse god saw them and frowned.

"What insolent devils!" Loki yelled as he ignited a powerful aura of divine power over himself. This aura was so strong that it destroyed Vitra's line like nothing. "I wanted to save this for later, when Ragnarök was already in full swing, but it looks like I'll have to use it now."

After saying those words, Loki raised his hand and took out a blue Shadowkey, which was very similar to the one he had used in the previous meeting, but with a small difference, since it had a daedric rune engraved on the head of the skull.

The eyes of the devils opened wide, and their skin turned slightly white, because due to the distance they couldn't see the object well and they thought it was the Shadowkey that summoned Roland and Selene.

"Hahaha! I like the look you have!" Loki shouted with excitement and joy at seeing the expressions of the devils. Without wasting another second, the Norse god used the Shadowkey.

A large purple portal appeared under Loki's feet and neither Roland nor Selene emerged from there, no, what came out of that portal were more than twenty clones of Midgardsormr. These clones were very different from the one they defeated before, because their scales were not gray like the original ones, no, they were black. However, those were not the only notable features, as they also had blue eyes, which glowed like flames.

The members of the ORC, the Student Council, Irina and Rossweisse began to sweat in panic upon sensing the presence of these clones, as they were clearly above the level of the clone they had previously killed. Furthermore, they also started to worry about something else, which was exhaustion, since many of them had lost a lot of energy fighting Fenrir's sons and the other Midgardsormr clone.

"Die!" Loki yelled seeing the expressions of his enemies. So, waving his right hand, he signaled for the enhanced clones of his son to attack. However, before they moved, a scream was heard, whose tone of voice was recognized by the devils and Irina.

"Extreme Magicka Spell: Celestial Sun Swords!"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they saw seven swords made of golden fire appear in the sky, which were as big as a four-story building. These swords moved at a speed that shouldn't be possible for weapons of their size. Thanks to this, they managed to pass over the heads of those present and go directly towards the clones of Midgardsormr.

Before the swords slammed in, the voice cried out again.

"Everyone takes cover!"

The devils, angel, and Valkyrie snapped out of their stupor and quickly created several barriers over themselves and Kiba and Xenovia. And it's good that they did it, because….

BOOMMMMM!

The swords of fire detonated as soon as they reached the Midgardsormr clones. A huge explosion originated from the place where the dragons were. The force of the explosion was such that it generated several air currents so strong that several pieces of debris flew out so fast that they could easily kill low-class devils.

When the gusts of wind ended, everyone turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Asia arrive with the rest of Edzard's group.

"Are they okay?" Asia said looking at them. She wore armor made up of a long-sleeved tunic over which was a light silver-colored plate breastplate, tight-fitting black leather pants, leather boots, and bracers of the same material as her breastplate.

On Asia's right side was Aika, who was wearing a magician's robe, which fitted her body very well. The robe was dark blue and came to a few inches below her knees and had slits on the sides of it, allowing a view of her thighs. In addition, to show that under the robe she was wearing a pair of black shorts. Aside from that, she wore a black witch's hat along with a pair of black boots that came up to her knees.

At Asia's left side was Lint, who was wearing her usual church battle outfit, but with the addition of her sword sheathed on her hip.

To Lint's left side was Valerie, who was wearing a white, long-sleeved, ruffled blouse, which had a black corset with gold buttons on top, a short black skirt, and black pantyhose. Furthermore, she was wearing a pair of tall black boots.

On Aika's right side was Mittelt, who was wearing a black gothic lolita dress that was different from the usual one, as it didn't have the laces and was simpler in design. She had traded in her big black bow for a black headband with white trim. Her hair was styled in two tails, one on each side, these tails were tied with two small black bows. In addition, she wore a pair of black thigh-high stockings and low boots of the same color.

Finally, on the far-left side was a girl that none of those present, except for Edzard's group, did not know. This girl was beautiful, and she was wearing a white dress with a neckline that exposed part of her breasts, which made Issei's gaze go there immediately. Furthermore, said dress had slits on the shoulders along with a pair of long white gloves. She finished off her outfit with a little black skirt.

Asia looked at the devils, Irina and Rossweisse and sighed internally that they weren't late.

'Though it looks like I'll have to tell Sirzechs-san to set up those teleport flyers better' Asia thought, as she and the rest of the girls had appeared about two kilometers from where the battle was, so they had to fly towards this place as fast as they could.

"We're fine, Asia-san." Rias answered with a calm smile seeing that the reinforcements had arrived. Although, she was also a bit worried, as she did not see Edzard, which confirmed that Edzard would not come to help them this time.

"I see." Asia said as she put her hand into the bag that she carried on the back of her belt. From there she took out a few potions, which she gave to everyone. "I recommend that you drink them, because this is about to get very complicated."

Issei blinked in confusion upon hearing that. "How will it get complicated? Didn't you just kill them all with that spell?"

Asia shook her head. "No, my attack killed some, but more than half are still alive. And I am afraid that this type of attack will not work again, as I can no longer take them by surprise as I did a few moments ago."

"I understand. I guess from now on we will be fighting directly against them." Sona said before drinking the potion she received from Asia. Her eyes widened as she saw her wounds heal and some of her demonic power returned. So, looking at Asia, she asked her. "What is this potion?"

"It's a potion that Edzard and I have been working on in our spare time. Unfortunately, we have run out of ingredients to make more, so the number we have now is limited."

"For now?" Rias asked after drinking the potion.

"Yes, for now, since we have planted several cuttings of the plants that we use in its elaboration. We have placed them in a greenhouse that we have created in the palace. So, it will be a matter of time before we have more ingredients."

After Asia's reply, Rias and Sona's eyes fell on Ingvild, who became a bit flustered seeing the younger sisters of two maous looking at her.

"Sorry to bother you, but who is the girl accompanying you?" Rias asked as she pointed at Ingvild.

Asia saw where Rias was pointing and looked at Ingvild. Seeing her a bit flustered, Asia put on a friendly smile to reassure her. Then she approached her and taking her by the hand, she led her in front of the people who did not know her.

When they were in front of everyone, Asia gave Ingvild's right shoulder a little nudge. After that, she stood about two steps behind the half devil.

Looking to where her friends were, Ingvild saw that they all nodded and gave her encouragement with their eyes, so without thinking twice, she looked ahead and began to introduce herself.

"A pleasure to meet you all. I am the representative of the devils in Edzard's group, my name is Ingvild Leviathan. I am a half devil descended from the original Leviathan."

The eyes of all those present, especially the devils, opened wide and as if it were a reflex action, they all took a step back, because they never expected that a descendant of one of the original maous would be in front of them.

"H-how is this possible?" Sona asked in shock when she saw Ingvild, because according to the records they had about the Leviathan Clan, Katerea was supposed to be the last of her clan.

"I was asleep until Edzard woke me up not too long ago." Ingvild replied understanding that she was trying to ask Sona. As she answered, she put on a kind smile to let them see that she didn't want to fight them.

"Asleep?" Issei asked confused.

"Yes, I suffered from sleep disease. And I've been asleep for a hundred years, until Edzard managed to wake me up." Ingvild replied as a small blush appeared on her face at the mention of Edzard.

Ingvild's answer made the eyes of those who knew about this illness widen their eyes as they couldn't due to the surprise that the news caused them.

"Did Edzard find a cure?" Rias asked with a tone of voice that denoted hope and a small hint of anxiety, because if there was already a cure it was very likely that her aunt could wake up.

"No. Edzard says that it was pure chance that she woke up when he found her. Also, he said that much of the success was thanks to the sacred gear that she possesses." Asia replied.

"Sacred gear? Does she have one?" Sona asked looking at Ingvild curiously.

"Yes, and according to Azazel her name is Nereid Kyrie." Asia replied as she looked at the devils. "She's just like Vali-san in a way, because she doesn't want to rule over the underworld, or anything like him."

Those words calmed the nerves of Rias and Sona, who smiled upon hearing that. So, they approached Ingvild and began to introduce themselves and their respective members of their peerages. After that, Rossweisse and Irina also introduced themselves.

"Now that we're done with this. We must prepare for battle. I don't think Loki will wait for us any longer. So, we'll deal with the dragons, you fight Loki until we can join you."

The devils, Irina and Rossweisse nodded at Asia's words.

After those words, Asia walked a few steps and looked at the Midgardsormr clones. She didn't need to use magic to know she was passing.

"It is just as I feared. Those dragons have been somehow modified to contain a part of the genes of a daedric titan." Asia said with a frown, because that meant that Bal had been experimenting a lot and had managed to find a way to artificially create hybrids between beings from the earth and Nirm in the Vile laboratory.

"Daedric titan?" Issei asked confused at that name.

"A type of high-level Daedra, which is among the most powerful troops under the command of Molag Bal. They were built by Bal to be an imitation of Nirm's dragons. The first, in fact, was a dragon that Bal tricked and then tortured to gain the secret of dragon power, but to no avail, he turned it into the first Daedric Titan." Asia answered, and then looked at her friends. "Girls, we have to go with everything. If those dragons were strong before, now they are more powerful."

The girls nodded and each of Edzard's lovers summoned a different item. Aika summoned a staff, which began to glow with a multi-colored aura. Lint unsheathed her sword and reached for her pistol as she exposed her three pairs of wings, demonstrating the rapid increase in power she had gained. Mittelt, for her part, unfurled her four pairs of wings and summoned a short sword. This sword had a yellow double-edged blade. Its handle was lined with black leather and had the guard in the form of extended bird wings. Valerie also summoned her wings and conjured a ring made up of four bands linked by chains with a skull in the center, after putting on the ring, she covered herself with a cloak of darkness. Finally, Ingvild summoned her four pairs of wings and began to prepare to use her magic.

Asia clenched her fists and activated her balance breaker. When she was covered by her armor, she summoned Anseichim. Quickly unsheathing it, Asia pointed her sword in front and took in some Air.

"Let's go!"

After shouting, Asia started running towards the Midgardsormr clones while the rest of her friends followed her.

Those outside the group who hadn't witnessed the battle at the past meeting were completely amazed at the speed at which the girls moved.

"So that's the level of Edzard's group?" Rossweisse asked in amazement, since all the girls were moving very fast.

"That's right. According to my Onii-sama, each member is at least at the same level as a High-class devil." Rias replied watching as they approached the Midgardsormr clones.

"We can't stay behind either, walking." Sona said as she adjusted her glasses and started walking towards where Loki was.

Rias nodded and they all rushed together to fight Loki while they waited for Mjolnir to arrive, so they could finish everything off.

While both groups were fighting against their respective enemies, on a plateau a few kilometers from the battlefield, sitting at a table full of food and wine, were two beings. These two beings were the Prince of Madness and the Prince of Excesses, who were with a glass of wine and brandy respectively.

"Amazing, little Ed's wife is good" Said Sanguine looking as Asia dodged the fire breaths of two Midgardsormr clones at the same time, then countered with two energy blasts that came from her sword. Unfortunately, those attacks failed, as the clones quickly moved and dodged, then tried to devour Asia with his jaws.

"You're right, but it's not the only one. Those two angels are good too, and the half-vampire too." Sheogorath said as he watched Mittelt launch more than eight spears of light towards a clone of Midgardsormr, while Lint dodged another clone's attacks and responded by launching bullets made of concentrated holy energy towards her enemy.

"The Dhampir is also good. Watch how he dodges breath attacks." Sanguine said as he brought his hand to his chin. "For now, I give them a seven in this battle. You?"

"Ummm. I don't know, I think they could be better, but I give them a five. They still don't keep me as entertained as my dear descendant. By the way, I hope it arrives soon."

"Me too, my friend, me too."

The large, toothy jaws of the dragon king clone dangerously approached Asia, who jumped to the right, managing to dodge Midgardsormr's jaws. Seeing that she was no longer in danger, Asia began to run at full speed around the battlefield, surrounding her enemies and throwing fireballs, trying to mislead them as much as she could. As she ran, she had to dodge on more than one occasion the fire breath of the other clone of Midgardsormr she was facing.

'This is more complicated than I thought. I don't know how Ed manages to make it look easy to take on a dragon.' Asia thought as she kept running. Stopping in her tracks, she raised her left hand and conjured a golden sphere, which turned into hundreds of beams of light. These beams hit one of the clones squarely, who skidded a few meters from the power of the spell. Unfortunately, the clone got up again, showing that he could still fight.

Asia frowned at this but was forced to roll on the ground in order to avoid the other clone's breath of fire. The searing fire passed over her and as she rolled, Asia was thinking of a way to defeat this enemy.

'I don't have much Magicka to use another Extreme Magicka spell of the same magnitude as the previous one. I also can't sit still long enough to use Akechim. So, I guess I'll have to use another skill of my sword.'

After thinking that, Asia jumped as high as she could, managing to reach the same height as the head of one of the Midgardsormr clones. So, by quickly swinging her sword, Asia managed to make such a precise cut that she hit the dragon's eye. The dragon roared in pain and anger as it felt the loss of one of its organs, so, without wasting a second, it opened its jaws and released a breath of fire towards Asia. This attack was larger than the previously used ones, so its effect range was wider.

Seeing the attack coming, Asia quickly jumped back and as soon as she set foot on the ground, she quickly created a ward to protect herself. The dragon's breath hit the ward, which managed to resist without much trouble, as it was being reinforced by the power of Asia's balance breaker. However, as she resisted that attack, Asia noticed the other clone moving and preparing to launch a breath attack.

Seeing the attack, Asia closed her eyes while concentrating much of the power of her balance breaker. A powerful green aura covered Asia, who stopped using her ward and took hold of her sword with both hands. The breath of both dragons completely covered Asia, who remained unharmed thanks to the defensive power of her sacred gear. So, without wasting another second, she decided to take advantage of her standing still and started gathering a large amount of Magicka on her sword. The gem on the sword began to shine with multi-colored lights, this light began to spread throughout the blade.

Seeing that both dragons had finished their attacks, Asia quickly flexed her legs and using some magic on her legs, she jumped hard enough to rise several meters above both dragons. Already in the sky, she moved her sword horizontally and released a blast of energy, which was directed towards one of the clones. The dragon opened its jaws and launched a breath attack, hoping to stop the attack or at least deflect it. However, unfortunately for the clone, the attack continued and ended up hitting directly towards Midgardsormr's head, easily decapitating him.

Seeing how that modified dragon fell like that made Asia raise an eyebrow in confusion, but she didn't pay much more attention to it, as she still had one more enemy to defeat. So, she began to maneuver in the air as she fell. Putting her eyes on the other dragon, she saw with surprise how he was about to devour her, so, in order to evade the attack, she had to use a magic circle as a platform to support herself. Although she had never used magic circles in such a way, she achieved her goal and got out of the range of the attack, thus avoiding certain death.

'I have to ask Ed to teach me how to use magic circles as a platform.' Asia thought as she saw that her circle had been shattered as soon as she put her foot on it.

After narrowly dodging the attack, Asia quickly reached into her back bag and taking out a Magicka potion, she drank it down in one gulp. Feeling some of her magic recover, Asia wasted no time and began gathering a large amount of magic in her hands. Bringing up the magic circle that made it possible to harmonize her two types of magic, Asia prepared to finish off her enemy.

"Extreme Magicka Spell: Ice Spear!" Asia yelled as she stretched out both hands in front of her enemy.

A huge spear of ice emerged from Asia's hands and headed towards the clone of Midgardsormr, who could only see how the spell was getting closer, because when Asia moved to dodge the attack, she had used barely five meters, which made that the attack hit the dragon's head point-blank, piercing its brain and killing it on the spot.

As Asia landed on the ground softly, she let out a tired sigh as she had spent a large amount of magic in one fell swoop to defeat both clones. Turning her head, she saw her friends fighting against their respective enemies and as she did, so a small doubt arose in her mind, as it seemed to her that the dragons had grown weaker towards the end of the battle.

While Asia was fighting her two enemies, Aika was also fighting two clones at the same time. She jumped around the battlefield dodging the breath attacks of the dragons she was facing. At one point, both dragons managed to corner her and did not hesitate to launch two breath attacks. Seeing those attacks coming, Aika didn't hesitate, and she quickly generated two magic circles from which large jets of water came out. These jets of water headed towards the attacks of the two dragons and managed to stop them, generating a small mist around the place.

"Wow. They really are stronger than we expected." Aika said as she squinted her eyes to see the dragons, as the mist made it difficult to see them. Tired of not being able to see well, she conjured a magic circle and summoned a gust of wind, which blew away the mist in the area. Now with a better view, Aika tightened her grip on her weapon and began to pack a large amount of power into it.

Seeing her weapon begin to have a multi-colored glow on its blade, Aika began to run towards her enemies. When she was close, she made a great jump and managed to get on the back of one of the clones. Wasting no time, she started running up the back towards the head. The path that seemed simple in essence became complicated, as the dragon began to move in an attempt to throw Aika to the ground. However, that did not happen and when she got to the vicinity of Midgardsormr's head, she quickly moved her spear and launched a swift blow, which did not penetrate the dragon's scales very much, but it did do other damage, as Midgardsormr's body was covered by a thin layer of frost and small rays began to run through his body.

"Looks like I'm in luck. Two elements in one blow." Aika said as she jumped off the dragon's back, which began to roar and move, obviously because of the great pain he felt after receiving Aika's attack.

Aika hit the ground and then had to jump quickly, as the other dragon didn't miss the opportunity and tried to devour her.

"Wow. Calm." Aika said as she created several circles of magic from which bursts of fire came out.

The clone Midgardsormr, wrapped in itself and took the impact of the attacks, causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared, it could be seen that the dragon was slightly injured.

The sight of the injured dragon made Aika frown in concern. So, she wasted no time she began to levitate. When she was in the sky, she quickly flew to get as far away as she could from them. When she was several meters away, she quickly reached out with both hands and conjured several magic circles.

'I may not have Ed's talent when it comes to magic. I may also not have the ability to harmonize two types of magic like Asia, but I am also strong.'

"Get ready to receive the result of my training with Lavinia-sensei." Aika said as she conjured magic circles from various mythologies, which began to overlap one on top of the other forming a kind of cannon made of pure magic circles. Among the conjured magic circles, you could see magic circles of Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, Nordics and of course the one that Edzard had designed. She didn't launch her attack instantly, but rather she waited for the right moment and when she saw it, she screamed. "Disappear! Extinction Ray Canon!"

The magic circles that made up Aika's attack began to glow and rotate in different directions, the first one clockwise, the second one counterclockwise, and so on. In an instant, a great lightning bolt emerged from the circles, which was formed by the conjunction of magic spells from different elements. The spell crossed the distance between Aika and the dragons in the blink of an eye, managing to hit the target and ending up going through both dragons at the same time, as Aika had waited for them both to be in the same place so she could unleash her attack. When the attack stopped, both dragons fell to the ground dead, showing a large hole in their body.

"Ufff. It's good that it's over." Aika said as she started to fly towards where Asia was.

While Aika and Asia were fighting their respective battles, Mittelt was flying at full speed, trying to confuse the dragons she was facing. She had chosen this tactic, since unlike Asia and Aika she had chosen not to learn how to use more magic than what she already knew, what she decided to do was better hone her control of Fallen Angel magic. However, far from limiting her, this type of training allowed her to focus her power on her sword in a way that didn't consume much energy. So, she right now while she was dodging her enemies, she was also launching a large amount of holy energy blasts at them using her sword as a catalyst.

"Let's go. They are very slow! so they can never beat me!" Mittelt yelled as she continued to attack the dragons with her sword and various spears of light. She had realized that the longer the fight lasted, the slower her enemies became, for that reason she continued to dodge them, waiting for the best moment to attack.

the Midgardsormr clones continued to attack Mittelt with their fire breaths. Unfortunately for them, the little Fallen Angel was very fast and managed to avoid attacks completely, at the same time that she attacked them with spears of light or explosions of holy energy. Causing them perhaps little damage, but which began to take its toll on them by accumulating so many wounds.

Seeing that her enemies were slower than before, Mittelt stopped and swinging her short sword rapidly, she generated seven bursts of energy, which began to impact the bodies of both dragons. Upon receiving the attacks, both dragons roared in pain, as the explosions caused deeper wounds than the previous ones.

Seeing this, Mittelt blinked in confusion, as she never expected her magic to be able to damage so many beings that are supposed to have a very high resistance to magic. However, despite her confusion, she decided not to let the opportunity pass.

"I have to finish this soon." Mittelt said seeing how Aika and Asia were finishing the battles with their respective enemies. "I'm sorry, but I have to finish this."

After those words, a mocking smile appeared on Mittelt's face, who quickly raised her sword and covering it with holy magic, caused a huge blade of light to form from the blade of his sword. The size of that blade was more than twenty meters in length.

"Die!" Mittelt yelled as she lunged at her enemies. Using her speed, she stopped in the space between the two dragons and rapidly spinning on her own axis horizontally, she sliced both dragons in half.

The severed bodies of both dragons fell to the ground with a thud. However, Mittelt paid no attention to the bodies of her enemies, but instead started flying towards where she saw that they were all gathering.

While the other girls were fighting, Lint was also facing two Midgardsormr clones. She had decided to use a tactic similar to the one Mittelt used, so she flew to dodge the enemy's attacks as she fired bullets of compressed holy magic from her gun. Like Mittelt, she had not learned elemental magic of any kind, instead learning only magic from angels to create barriers so she could create weapons of light or infuse her holy power into her weapons.

Lint watched in surprise as her bullets of concentrated light, which under normal circumstances would bounce harmlessly off dragon scales, could now easily pass through the scales of these Midgardsormr clones.

'This is strange. I remember that my light bullets couldn't go through the scales of the dragons. But now yes. Why is that?' Lint thought as she dodged one of the Midgardsormr clones, which had moved to try and rip her apart with his jaws.

"Wow, you almost hit me, better luck next time~ " Lint said as she continued to fly.

Taking a deep breath, Lint tightened her grip on her sword and quickly charged at her enemies. Being a few meters from them, both dragons launched themselves and tried to destroy her using his jaws, but she managed to dodge the attack and that way she was in a good position to fight back. She maneuvered in the air long enough that she could swing her sword and release two blasts of holy energy. These attacks were directed towards the snouts of both dragons, causing them great pain on impact.

Both dragons roared in anger and pain and began to move, trying to reach Lint. Seeing this, Lint began to fly all over the place, dodging both the dragon's breath attacks and the attempts to devour her. She circled above them and also got in to maneuver between both dragons, all with the clear intention that they both collide with each other and become entangled, thus making them easy prey for a single critical attack.

Fortune seemed to smile at the reincarnated angel, because both dragons were so confused by the pain that they moved without realizing where they were moving, so they ended up colliding with each other on more than one occasion.

"That's it." Lint said seeing how both dragons were one on top of the other and entangled in such a way that they did not have much mobility.

"Well, it's nothing personal~ ." Lint said as she took her sword in both hands, then placed it above her head. A few small specks of light began to swirl on the blade of the sword, which was then completely engulfed and turned into a huge blade of light.

Lint flapped her wings and descended a few meters, enough to be able to get a good range with her sword and at the same time be a safe distance as a safety line. Moving her hands to the right, Lint made a powerful horizontal slash, which easily decapitated both dragons, thus ending their fight.

As both bodies hit the ground, Lint wasted no time heading towards where everyone was gathering.

Like her friends, Valerie was also fighting two Midgardsormr clones. She had already been fighting for a long time and at this point in the fight she was dodging the attacks of both dragons, which were chasing her. Unfortunately for them, she had her body covered in darkness magic, which she used to enhance her physical abilities, such as speed. So, making use of it, she flew between both dragons and started throwing spikes made of darkness magic and fireballs made of black flames at them. All the attacks that she launched and that hit her enemies, made them back a few meters, in addition to causing medium-grade injuries.

"This is strange. Dragons are famous not only for their power, but also for their magic resistance. Why are they being damaged so fast?" Valerie wondered looking at the injuries caused by her attacks.

Both dragons roared and launched their dragon breaths at her, but Valerie turned into a flock of bats, managing to dodge the attack. She moved in that form for a few meters and when she rematerialized, she created a sword made of darkness and began to fire several blasts of darkness magic at them, which were crescent shaped. These attacks moved so fast that the dragons, who began to move slower and slower, were unable to evade them. The attacks began to impact the dragons, causing deeper and deeper wounds.

As her attacks became more and more effective, Valerie conjured several insects, which in turn conjured several magic circles. A second later, the magic circles released a large amount of magic, which bombarded the entire ground, generating huge explosions. When the attack stopped, Valerie saw how the dragons were still alive, badly beaten, yes, but still alive.

'It seems that their innate magic resistance hasn't completely disappeared, but rather has been greatly reduced.' Valerie thought as she looked at both dragons. Determined to end her battle, she began by raising the hand that held her ring. After that, she conjured a huge circle of magic, from which a small spear that seemed to be made of blood began to form. This was the power granted by the ring she had received from Edzard. Her ring gave her the ability to use a modified version of Nirm's vampire blood magic. Unfortunately, since she was not originally from Aurbis, she could only create weapons with that magic.

When the spear was fully formed, Valerie raised her other hand and conjured another circle, from which a large amount of darkness began to pour out, which began to surround the blood spear, thus increasing its size. When the process was finished, the spear was over fifty feet long and it emitted an aura that would send chills down the spine of any low- and middle-class devil and maybe even a high-class one. Seeing that her attack was ready, Valerie just snapped her fingers and the spear headed towards the dragons. Both dragons launched a desperate breath attack, but it was in vain, as they ended up receiving the attack, which exploded, engulfing both and killing them on the spot. Or that's what she expected, but it hadn't been like that, because one of the two dragons managed to escape, but it didn't do so unscathed, but ended up very badly injured.

Seeing that one of the dragons had escaped, Valerie let out an annoyed sigh. That annoyance increased when seeing that the clone of the dragon king began to escape. Seeing that, Valerie began to chase it. Fortunately, the chase did not last more than fifteen seconds, as the dragon's wounds eventually made it stop.

Seeing the dragon completely injured and defenseless, Valerie summoned a blood sword and covering it with magic, she released a great slash of darkness, with which she was able to decapitate the Midgardsormr clone that had fled. Seeing that she no longer had any enemies, she quickly made her way to where the rest of the group was.

Unlike her companions and friends, Ingvild didn't have as much trouble fighting her two enemies. And it is that, although her sacred gear should not have any effect on beings from Aurbis, having awakened thanks to Edzard's blood, her sacred gear had mutated in a certain sense, because now it also had an effect on the dragons of Nirm or at least in theory that should happen. Although, the effect was limited by what she had been able to experience from using her sacred gear on Edzard during her training.

She had used her sacred gear on Edzard, at his request during their training. Although Nereid Kyrie should allow her to control Edzard to some extent, this did not happen, as he still maintained complete autonomy. Although, he mentioned that he only felt a tingle in his mind when he was under the effects of the sacred gear. Those words showed something about Nirm's dragons and that was that they were more resistant to attacks meant to control them. Regarding Nereid Kyrie's other abilities, none had full effect on Edzard, as it could only weaken Edzard slightly, but could not strengthen him, as Edzard's body seemed to reject the reinforcement instinctively.

But that was not all she could do with her sacred gear now, but now she could easily manipulate water, being able to create water tsunamis of more than twenty meters with relative ease, as well as being able to create water weapons, which could be used as conventional weapons.

Turning her sights to the dragons, Ingvild began to prepare for what could be considered one of the most important battles of her life, not because it was a decisive battle to stop the Daedra invasion, but because this battle was the first step to enter the underworld as an ally and not an enemy.

Taking a breath, Ingvild closed her eyes and started using her sacred gear in order to quickly finish this battle. Sensing Nereid Kyrie's power, Ingvild opened her eyes. The half devil's eyes began to have a faint lavender glow, as small particles of light the same color as the glow in her eyes began to pour out. Sensing that she could already begin, she opened her mouth and softly began to sing a song.

Ingvild's song was soft and melodious, and since they heard it, the two Midgardsormr clones fell under the effect of the sacred gear. So, they stopped abruptly and began to sway, as if in a trance.

Seeing that her enemies had fallen under the power of her sacred gear, Ingvild began to move her hands while continuing to chant. Four magic circles appeared at the feet of the descendant of the original Leviathan. A water dragon appeared in each circle; these dragons were the same size as the Midgardsormr clones. So, wasting no more time, Ingvild moved her hands forward and ordered her dragons to attack.

The water dragons obeyed immediately and charged at the two entranced dragons, who never managed to see that they were under attack. The water dragons coiled around the two Midgardsormr clones and then lashed out, tearing at the throats and snapping the necks of the two clones. And so, the last two Midgardsormr clones died.

"It's over." Ingvild said with a bit of sorrow seeing the two dragon king clones with broken necks. Shaking her head to get that scene out of her mind, she quickly began to fly towards the rest of the girls.

Asia watched her friends arrive and asked how their respective battles went.

"Not bad. In fact, it was easy." Aika replied with a smile on her face.

"Very simple, actually. Dragons are usually tougher than this." Lint opined with concern in her voice.

"Yeah, I noticed that too." Valerie spoke as she put a hand to her chin. "It was almost as if they had lost their innate magic resistance."

"Yes, it's correct. Furthermore, they began to lose much of their power as the battle raged." Mittelt said, drawing the attention of her friends. "They became so slow that I could easily out speed them."

After hearing her friends' words, Asia put a hand to her chin as she started to think about this development. Her mind was working overdrive to understand what was happening. In the end, she could only come to two possible conclusions, one being that the experiments were not complete and the other that Bal had underhandedly sabotaged them.

'After everything I've read about Molag Bal it might be the latter, after all that prince is very meticulous when it comes to his experiments in the Vile Laboratory.' Asia thought coming to a possible conclusion. After thinking that, Asia shared her suspicions with the rest of the girls, who also thought about what was going on.

However, everyone's thoughts were stopped when they felt a massive increase in power. So, raising their eyes, they saw Loki launch a beam of magic into the sky, to rain down what seemed to be meteorites of magic, which began to fall all over the place.

Seeing that they were in the effect range of the attack, the girls raised their hands and created a barrier made up of several overlapping magic circles. This barrier managed to easily stop Loki's attack.

"Wow. This really is power." Aika said with her eyes open in surprise when she saw the radius that the spell's area of effect had, since it easily reached more than a kilometer.

"You are right." Lint said looking at the place, then looked at Asia. "By the way, Asia. Does Ed have a spell of this magnitude?"

Hearing her friend's question, Asia put her hand to her chin for a second and remembered a specific spell.

"It has one, but technically it's not a spell if you look at it from the conventional point of view."

Those words, she made the girls blink in confusion, but it was Mittelt who realized what kind of magic Asia was referring to.

"It's a thu'um, right?" Mittelt asked.

"That's right, and it's a very powerful thu'um. It's called a Meteor Storm." Asia replied looking at Mittelt. "And just like its name says, it rains down hundreds of meteors in one place. I don't know the area of effect, but Ed told me that he once used it to destroy an army of Daedra during the second great war."

Upon hearing the word destroy and Edzard, some of the girls, those who had spent more time with Edzard, felt a shiver run through their bodies, because in their minds the image of Edzard laughing like a b-movie villain while having a background as a meteor shower which caused a great deal of destruction.

The conversation was interrupted when they stopped feeling the meteorites hitting the barrier. So, looking up at the sky, they saw that Loki's attack had already stopped, so they quickly stopped. When the barrier vanished, they were surprised to see a magic circle appear in the sky. Their initial surprise only increased when they saw a giant hammer come out of it.

The girls recognized the magic circle as the one from Norse magic and then put the clues together to recognize the artifact. Their eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the mythical weapon of the Norse God of Thunder.

"Amazing, so that's the Mjolnir." Lint said surprised to see a divine weapon appear at this moment.

"I have to agree with you, little dove. Its presence and its aura are incredible." Mittelt said as he looked at the weapon in undisguised amazement.

After those words, the girls watched as Issei tried to grab the weapon only for a released Fenrir to jump up and intercept him in the sky. That sight surprised the girls, who fortunately managed to get out of the surprise quickly.

"This is bad. From what I understand, Fenrir's fangs can kill a God, so they could finish off Hyoudou without any problem." Aika said as she began to levitate. "We have to go help him, otherwise Edzard won't be happy to lose his pet."

The rest of the girls rolled their eyes when they heard Aika mention that Issei was Edzard's pet. However, they wasted no time talking to the mage and just like her, they began to fly towards where the Sekiryuutei had fallen.

Rossweisse watched as Rias Gremory's power manifested in the form of a powerful aura of destruction that threatened to destroy everything around her. That scenario was the result of the resounding failure of the plan to stop Loki. After all, the Sekiryuutei was supposed to use Thor's hammer to seal Loki, but he hadn't even been able to touch it thanks to Fenrir breaking free during Loki's recent attack. The legendary wolf had made a great leap and caught Issei in his jaws, leaving him dying.

"It seems that everything is over." Rossweisse said with regret, because she felt that everything was lost. Especially when she saw that Loki ordered Fenrir to destroy Thor's weapon.

However, to everyone's surprise, when Loki's son was inches away from destroying Mjolnir, he was stopped by several chains that seemed to be made of light. These chains were generated from a purple magic circle in the shape of an octagon with eight large circles and sixteen small ones, which appeared on the ground below Fenrir.

"Gleipnir's magical chains?! What are those chains doing here?!" Rossweisse yelled completely astonished to see such chains here.

"It is not obvious. We have brought them ~nya." Said a voice from a nearby boulder.

Rossweisse and the rest of those who were there looked at the origin of the voice and saw a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with parted bangs and hazel eyes with catlike pupils who had two black cat ears on her head. Also, she had two cat tails that swung lazily every so often. She wore an outfit consisting of a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and a headband with ornate details. The kimono features a red interior and is open at her shoulders, revealing her large breasts.

"Nee-sama!" Koneko yelled in amazement as she narrowed her eyes at her older sister.

"Shirone, that form… it seems that you have finally accepted your true power." Koneko's sister said as she put a smile on her face.

"I will not become like you, Nee-sama." Koneko said with conviction.

"I would not be so sure…"

Loki, who was looking at the scene with a frown, had enough of being ignored and stretching out his hands, he unleashed an attack of magic. The attack was aimed at the cat girl, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the boulder while a magic circle similar to the one that gave rise to the chains that held Fenrir was behind her. The attack traveled fast and when it was about to hit the cat girl, it turned into several specks of light thanks to the swift movement of a sword.

"Who dares?!" Loki yelled annoyed when he saw how his attack was stopped.

From the circle behind the cat girl appeared a young man with glasses and blond hair with a lock of hair on his face. This young man was dressed in a formal black business suit with a white shirt and blue tie. The stranger's stance showed that he was confident, but not arrogant. The young man carried in his hand a sword with a hilt long enough to look like it belonged to a greatsword with a round pommel at the end, a huge cross-shaped guard, and a long blade with a golden edge.

"I am Arthur Pendragon, a member of Vali's team." Arthur said as he pointed his sword at Loki. "I am very sorry, Loki-sama. But we are here to take Fenrir with us."

After those words, the circle that was at Fenrir's feet began to glow and then proceeded to get up. When Fenrir was completely covered, he was teleported to the back of the two members of Vali's team.

Seeing Fenrir there, Arthur drew a second sword. This sword also had a hilt long enough to be used with two hands with a round pommel at the end. It also has a cross guard, and the blade had some details in a dark purple tone. Without warning, Arthur walked over to Fenrir and plunged the blade into the wolf's head, which began to shrink in size until it resembled a slightly larger than average wolf. When Loki's son changed size, he was immediately teleported out of the place.

Loki narrowed his eyes and frowned in undisguised anger as his son and greatest weapon were taken from him right in front of his eyes. However, before he could say anything, the cat girl interrupted him.

"Vali wants to have in his team the fangs that can devour even God~nya."

"I see. You have deceived me, Vali Lucifer." Loki said with annoyance in his voice as he started planning how to get Fenrir back. However, his thoughts were interrupted by a new voice.

"It's your fault for being so easy to manipulate, Loki."

Everyone was amazed when they saw Vali appear together with Bikou in a magic circle, which had the crest of the Lucifer clan.

The moment he stepped foot on the boulder where his companions were, Vali started walking until he reached the edge. When he was there, he began to look around the place, his eyes narrowed, and his brow furrowed as he saw Issei very badly injured in Rias's arms.

"Looks like you've been having fun here. You have even injured my destined rival." Vali said looking at Issei, to then look at Loki. However, before he spoke again, he saw Asia and her friends arrive.

Asia was flying as fast as she could to arrive on time and prevent the person her daughter treated like an uncle from dying. She was being followed by her friends, who were a few meters behind her in order to provide her with cover in case she suffered an attack by Loki. When Asia reached the place where everyone was, she quickly stopped using magic and fell down. Seconds before hitting the ground, she used magic to break her fall. When she was on the ground, she started running towards Rias, who was still releasing her destruction aura.

"Rias-san. Please calm down. If you don't, I won't be able to save Issei-san." Asia said as she walked over to Rias and took an ultimate healing potion from her bag.

It seemed like luck was on Asia's side at that moment, for as soon as the word save left her lips, Rias stopped expelling her power and looked at Asia with hopeful eyes. So, wasting no time, Sirzechs's younger sister allowed Asia to give Issei the potion. Unfortunately, Issei was so weakened that he couldn't drink the potion on his own.

Asia saw this and quickly glanced at Rias and without a second's delay handed the bottle to her.

"Asia-san?" Rias asked confused by what Issei's best friend's wife did.

"Rias-san. Issei-san can't drink the potion normally. So, the best thing is that you give it to him by word of mouth."

Rias started to blush at those words, but she didn't let that stop her. So, taking the bottle, she pulled out the cork and poured the contents into her mouth. After that, Rias approached Issei and captured his lips in a kiss as she began to make her pawn drink the potion. When she finished, she broke away and hoped for the best.

What followed astonished everyone from Loki to Vali's team. The reason for this was, that in the sight of all, the fatal wounds that the current Sekiryuutei possessed healed almost instantly.

"It's done." Asia said with a smile seeing Issei

To everyone's amazement, Issei began to slowly open his eyes and then blink confused at what was happening. He did not understand what was happening, because a few seconds ago he was seeing a large golden gate where there were several girls with big breasts who called him and now, he was looking at the place where he had been fighting. Before he could say anything, Rias pounced on him and hugged him as she cried happily.

"That was an amazing potion, its healing power is on the same level as Phoenix tears." Vali said approaching Asia as he was followed by Bikou and the rest of his team members.

"Vali Lucifer." Asia said looking at the half-devil.

"It's been a while, Cumberland. If you're here, that means he's here too, right?"

Hearing that, Asia averted her eyes for a second and that was all Vali needed to understand that something had happened with Edzard. However, before he could ask what was going on, Loki interrupted the conversations.

"Do you really think I would let you escape from here without you telling me where you sent Fenrir, Vali Lucifer?" Loki asked mockingly as he pulled out another Shadowkey. "To think that the enhanced versions of the Midgardsormr clones have been killed by you says that I should never have underestimated you. I won't make that mistake now. Behold the army that Ragnarök will bring!"

After that scream, Loki used the Shadowkey and summoned a huge purple portal that far exceeded the size of the previous one. Hundreds, no, thousands of humanoid beings clad in hooded black leather armor began to emerge from this portal.

The sight of these subjects caused different reactions in those who looked at them.

"Humans? ~Nya, ha, ha. Seriously, that's your big army." Koneko's sister said mockingly.

"They are not normal humans, Kuroka." Vali said with a hard voice as he felt that there was something strange with those so-called humans.

Asia looked at the assembled army attentively, as she also felt that there was something strange about them. So, by doing a quick count, she was able to deduce that there were more than three thousand individuals here.

'Are they all worshipers of Bal?' Asia thought with confusion and concern, for it was the first time she had seen so many worshipers of a Daedric prince in one place. However, looking back at Bal's supposed followers, her eyes widened as she realized something. And it is that while she looked at them, one of them raised his head and allowed her to see his eyes. The eyes of that human were not normal, because they shone as if they were two burning embers of coal. Having spent so much time with Serana, she could easily recognize that they were those beings.

"V-v-vampires." Asia stammered in shock, as she never expected to see so many vampires gathered. In fact, from what she had read in the books Valerica kept, there had never been as many vampires gathered in one place as there were now.

"Vampires?" asked an already recovered Issei, who was standing next to Rias.

"That's right, vampires. I know this because of the characteristic color of their eyes. We have to stop them all right here. We can't just let one get to a populated settlement." Panic was palpable in Asia's voice.

Asia's words confused many, even the members of Edzard's group, as they also didn't know why their leader spoke in such panic.

"Asia. Why are you so nervous?" Aika asked worried to see her friend like that. The rest of the girls in the group nodded as well, as they too were worried about Asia.

"The vampires of Nirm are different from those of earth, Aika. They cannot be counted so much as a race, but rather as a disease. Also, if you are scratched by a vampire there is a high risk that you will become one, no matter what race you are. And if I have to guess, Molag Bal has experimented on them to make them capable of infecting any race in this world."

Those words sent chills through the body to all who heard them, because this was not bad news, it was very bad news.

"Are you telling me that…?" Sona asked in complete shock.

"If any of them reach a settlement we will have an infection of vampires that will attack any living thing they find. And these will continue to infect others and so on until finally the entire underworld is covered in vampires. And because they are servants of Molag Bal, he would have conquered the underworld without sending his own troops." Asia replied understanding why Bal had allied himself with Loki. The prince of domination was using the evil god as a puppet to conquer the underworld for him.

"So, Asia-san. Do we have to face this entire army alone?" Rossweisse asked looking worriedly at the vampire army.

"That's right." Asia responded with a bit of concern in her voice, because although she had faced some daedras, they had been less numerous than these and Edzard had been there. Now, the situation was completely different, as they would be fighting alone against thousands of beings far more powerful than the Banekin or the Imps they had eliminated in the portals they had been closing.

So, to allay her fears, Asia took a deep breath and then tightened her grip on her sword. However, Asia stopped abruptly when she saw something fall from the sky. The figure began to make me bigger and when at last she could see what it was, her eyes widened, because her eyes saw a huge miniature sun. The sun hit squarely in the center of the vampires, creating an explosion so large that it generated a draft that threatened to send everyone flying, even Loki himself had to cover himself to prevent the explosion from touching him.

"W-w-what was that?!" Issei asked between shouts, while all those who didn't know about that attack nodded, because they also wanted to know what that attack was.

As many looked at the attack in confusion, Asia and the rest of the girls in Edzard's group had a smile as some tears began to fall down their cheeks. This reaction was due to the fact that they knew very well what that spell was and who was the person who loved using it.

'Only you would think of making an entrance like that, Ed.' It was the thought of all the girls who belonged to Edzard's group.

The smiles they possessed increased in intensity as they saw two silhouettes fall gracefully in front of everyone. Although they did not recognize the woman, they did recognize the other person.

"Sorry I'm late, but I really needed that nap." Edzard said as he looked at his friends and Vali's group.

Author's note:

To those who have made it this far, Thanks for reading. Because being honest, I don't know how to write much in English and I'm relying on Google translators and the dictionaries that come with office 2019.

Well, here is the chapter, I will be honest, I had planned to release this chapter last week, but many things have happened and one of them is that because I am in the last two weeks of the semester, many jobs have left me in the university and to make matters worse due to the fact that there are two holidays the other week, they rescheduled the two classes for those days to this week. I have had classes until midnight T.T and to top it off, in those two classes I had to present a research paper and make a presentation on vertical and horizontal analysis of various financial statements. T.T.

So, for that reason I have taken longer than usual, apart from this chapter being over 14k words. I am extremely sorry if there are more errors than usual, but I have been short of time these days.

Well, putting aside my bad luck this week, we see that the full name of Dovhakiin's father is finally mentioned, and just to add something, the name of Edzard's grandfather is Eitar Edzardson. In addition, Edzard's parents have become Mind-Shriven, that is, people without a mind and will who be forced to serve as pawns to a Daedric prince although… let's say that Roland and Selene are a special case. How they came to that, well, that will be explained in the future.

And as always, Bal using others to do his job, that is the main difference that we will see between Bal and Dagon, since the second is usually the one who attacks directly while the first will make others do the work for him. Poor Loki, he doesn't know what's coming XD

Now I leave you a paragraph of each of the three omakes I'm currently working on; I hope you can guess which worlds Ed will end up in this time XD

"Ooh. A weapon capable of canceling mana. Ummm… I wonder how that spear would react to Magicka." Edzard said as he saw how Lancer's weapon dissipated the air surrounding Saber's sword. However, it was in that instant when the air dissipated that he felt a very familiar holy aura. Opening his eyes, a smile appeared on his face. "Don't fuck with me. Seriously, she's… ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, by Shor's beard! This is so fun!"

Gathering together, Gaz nodded and went with Soap and Price to find the informant they had come to find. To achieve their goal, they separated as soon as they were in front of several doors. Each of the Bravo Team members encountered a few enemies which they efficiently eliminated. After searching other rooms, it was Price who managed to find Nikolai. After giving him a weapon, he was about to leave with the informant, but when he left, he ran into his companions.

'Besides, it never hurts to kill despicable beings.' Edzard thought as a smile appeared on his face. Giggling a little, he decided to change course, as he overheard a couple say that Lady Katrana Prestor, who was actually Onyxia, would be attending a ceremony held in honor of the investiture as paladin of someone named Arthas. Without paying any more attention, Edzard started walking towards a tailor shop to buy some clothes to enter incognito to a celebration of nobles, again.

Well, I apologize for any misspelling. Do not forget to leave a review if you liked the chapter or if there is something that needs to be improved or if you have any questions about the story. Also, if you want to chat by PM, you can also send one. With nothing more to say, until the next chapter.
