Chapter 131 - Chaos on the Beach P-2

Ophis-Kunou vs Daniele-Regulus

 

"We're devastated."

 

[More than words can express]

 

Kunou grinned arrogantly while Ophis cracked her fists, sending shivers down Daniele's spine.

 

And to make matters worse, the other side was going to serve.

 

Luckily, Kunou decided to start.

 

"It's go!"

 

Although she sent a relatively fast ball with her Touki, Daniele had already equipped his [Beast King Touki], and as soon as the ball crossed into their half, it appeared in front of him at full speed and he sent it straight into the corner!

 

But suddenly Ophis appeared and flicked the ball.

 

As the ball lost all its speed and momentum, it bounced towards Kunou.

 

Kunou giggled and hit the ball with the Fox Fire that had appeared in her hand.

 

Regulus easily blocked the attack and sent Daniele into a dunk position.

 

Daniele raised his arm with all his might and struck, but then Ophis swung her hand , who appeared before him.

 

When they both hit the ball at the same time, shock waves were sent into the air.

 

Since both of them had exercised their right to touch, the remaining two, Kunou and Regulus, were expelled.

 

Under normal circumstances, it would have been a 100% victory for Regulus....but

 

".....Uncle Regulus"

 

[????]

 

Kunou's tearful voice and eyes filled with tears caused Regulus to freeze for a moment.

 

*Smack*

 

A gap that Kunou assessed.

 

"We won!!!!"

 

While Regulus stood there idly, Kunou joyfully threw herself onto Ophis.

 

"This girl... will break many hearts when she grows up."

 

Daniele murmured with a bitter smile, cupping his face with his hand

 

Akemi-Ravel  vs Asia - Tiamat

 

Akemi and Ravel stood side by side, exchanging a quick glance.

 

Akemi raised her hand, which held a volleyball, in front of her.

 

She raised one hand forward while simultaneously raising the other, and then withdrew her hand as if drawing an arrow.

 

And she left!

 

Suddenly, as the volleyball shot forward like a fire arrow, Ravel sent vertical wind currents.

 

The wind currents blowing against the fire rapidly fanned it, accelerating its pace!

 

Asia responded by using her own wind magic!

 

However, instead of a straight current, it transformed into an upward fire hose with a flow coming from below.

 

The momentum of the fire arrow momentarily diminished, and at that moment, as Tiamat cautiously raised her finger, a celestial blue aura flashed, and the blazing fire instantly turned to ice.

 

Tiamat also delivered a wide kick with her long leg

 

As the ice shattered, the volleyball was sent across to the other side once again.

 

Ravel lifted the incoming ball into the air with both hands.

 

Right in the air, there was Akemi, placing a talisman on her foot.

 

Suddenly the words on the talisman shone at her feet.

 

With her feet ablaze, Akemi kicked the ball downwards, quickly sending it to the furthest point, but one that didn't go outside the area.

 

At that moment, Asia reached out and cast a familiar spell.

 

"Slip!"

 

The spell, created with three overlapping layers, successfully deflected the ball to the side.

 

To where Tiamat took her kicking position

 

"What a surprise, I'm great at savate too!"

 

Tiamat, using both her own raw power and the support of the Dragon Aura, shoot the ball at full speed with a kick.

 

And it broke through every defense and hit the safe zone.

 

And they've arrived at the final match.

 

Ophis - Kunou  vs Asia - Tiamat

 

Tiamat grinned straight at Ophis

 

"Having an argument with you sounds really fun, Phis~"

 

To avoid revealing her identity, Tiamat mockingly used Ophis's nickname.

 

Ophis shrugged.

 

"You can't beat me."

 

Tiamat surprisingly confirmed it.

 

"I definitely can't do it, but they say trying is half the battle."

 

As Tiamat said this, she tossed the ball into the air...and struck it with all her might!

 

Suddenly the ball vanished and reappeared before Ophis, but the only response of the Goddess of Infinity was to raise her knee very slightly.

 

The ball instantly returned to Asia and Tiamat's side of the field at the same speed.

 

Kunou had anticipated this, so she use Youjutsu and send copies the balls at the same time.

 

Asia swiftly sent forth a gentle shower of light, and the shower of light obliterated everything except the real ball.

 

Tiamat kicked the ball again without hesitation!

 

The ball, curving in the air, deflected right into the corner!

 

Ophis appeared as if he had been there all along and passed the ball to Kunou at a safer pace.

 

Kunou gathered all her Touki in her tails and simultaneously struck the ball with all nine tails, sending it swiftly forward. Asia blocked it with both of her Holy Fists!

 

Tiamat and Ophis were thrown while the ball was in the air.

 

But at that moment, somethings also flew into the air... a chocolate brownies???

 

Ophis quickly snatched the Brownies, prompting Tiamat to score.

 

"Phis~~ WE WERE WINNING!"

 

All Ophis allegedly did was stuff a brownie into Kunou's mouth.

 

Kunou blinked in surprise a couple of times, then began to chew.

 

Their tails were wagging joyfully at that moment, and she grabbed the brownie.

 

"Delicious~"

 

The young fox's main focus quickly shifted.

 

Tiamat raised one eyebrow and looked at Asia

 

The emerald-eyed angel looked at her with a shy smile.

 

"I mean... it seemed right."

 

Tiamat continued to gaze at her, then reached out and stroked her golden hair.

 

"Ahhh! Tiamat-san!"

 

Tiamat's lips curled upwards as Asia complained.

 

"Not bad, little angel, not bad at all."

 

......

 

Finally, to celebrate Asia and Tiamat's victory, the pair were quickly given a golden trophy.

 

Where was the trophy obtained from? It seems Ravel anticipated the competitions and prepared in advance.

 

As several photos were taken, cheers erupted among the group.

 

Of course, until a certain sound is heard......

 

"I've come to rescue you, Gabriel!!!"

 

""""""???????""""""

 

That was the group's collective reaction.

 

There, as the huge lake rippled, there was a figure of a chariot pulled by horses with fish fins and tails.

 

'What does Poseidon have to do with this???'

 

Daniele looked at the Sea God, one of the Three Great , who had come to in front of them

 

"I've come to rescue you. I don't know why you're in the Underworld, but don't worry, I'm here!"

 

"Rescue me? From whom would you rescue me?"

 

Gabriel tilted her head curiously, but even this sudden movement caused her enormous breasts, encased in her swimsuit, to tremble.

 

 

Poseidon heroically struck his chest with his fist.

 

"Hmm,you're probably confused, I came to visit Hades, but I came as soon as I felt your Holy Power ,so don't worry, the Sea God is here."

 

But seeing Poseidon glance at Gabriel for a moment, his nose golden bleeding slightly underneath as he made a lewd face, caused Daniele's eyebrow to twitch.

 

Poseidon wasn't content with just Gabriel; she was half-secretly glancing at every woman there

 

He deliberately walked over to the girls.

 

'I definitely don't want that old man looking at my girls!'

 

When Gabriel saw Daniele approaching, she smiled and threw herself into her arms.

 

For some reason, Poseidon looked as if he'd eaten a sour lemon at this scene.

 

Gabriel spoke quickly.

 

"I came here to travel with my beloved, my sisters, and friends."

 

The word 'beloved' had become like an arrow piercing his heart.

 

But of course, Seraph's attacks were far from over.

 

"Nothing bad will happen, and even if it did, I'd protect my Dany!!"

 

Daniele spoke inwardly.

 

"Shouldn't I be the one saying this? After all, you're the King."

 

Gabriel poked his nose in a grumpy way.

 

"No way~ I'd be upset if my dear Joker got injured~"

 

As she hugged Daniele, she pressed her cheek against his and rubbed it against him.

 

But Poseidon's attention was particularly focused on Gabriel's enormous breasts, which were pressed against Daniele

 

"S-then I'll stay too--"

 

"Get lost, sea cucumber, she clearly reject it."

 

Poseidon considered cursing the person who said this, until he saw Tiamat, whose body was slightly less voluptuous than Gabriel's, who had said it.

 

"T-Tiamat!?What are you doing here?"

 

When Poseidon exclaimed in surprise, the Mightiest Dragon King rolled her eyes, but with a playful grin, she put her arm around Daniele's shoulder and pulled him closer, so that his cheek touched her breast 's side

 

"Well, the kid I made a deal with asked me for a favor."

 

Tiamat wasn't technically lying; the Agreement, while between Asia and Tiamat, was essentially brokered and facilitated by Daniele, who served as a negotiator for Tiamat.

 

Poseidon's mouth dropped open in disbelief.

 

'T-t-not just Gabriel....Even Tiamat!?!'

 

After that, Poseidon silently nodded his head and left.

 

Noticing the strange look Daniele gave her, Tiamat shrugged.

 

"He flirted with me a lot in the past, to the point of being disturbing."

 

Tiamat said this while receiving disgusted remarks about Poseidon from several women there.

 

"So now I'm the target?"

 

Daniele gestured dryly to himself, while Tiamat swiftly waved her hand behind his head.

 

"Be a man, kid"

 

Daniele quickly got away

 

"Behave properly, woman!"

 

Daniele responded, and the two stared at each other intensely.

 

"You two.Get along well. Or. I'll flick you. "

 

At that moment, Ophis's emotionless voice was heard, her hands rose as if ready to flick, but for some reason, at that moment, those delicate hands were more terrifying than True Longinus's.

 

Both Daniele and Tiamat raised their hands.

 

"Well done."

 

Ophis nodded and suddenly reached out and stroked both of their heads.

 

Daniele's and Tiamat's mouths and eyebrows twitched, respectively.

 

At that moment, another hand grabbed Daniele's shoulder.

 

Daniele first looked at the delicate hand, then at the black-haired, purple-eyed cat-woman who owned the delicate hand.

 

"Time for training"

 

'Oh, I forgot about that...'

 

And Daniele was inevitably dragged towards his torture.

 

........

 

Riser was on one side of the island, and Ravel was on the other, so Daniele and Magari's destination was the third side between the two.

 

With Magari's clear Ki messages and the en route joining Riser's two Nekomata Pawns, the four of them went to their training location.

 

Ni ( blue hair) and Li ( pink hair) were in a very relaxed mood, which Daniele didn't think about the reason for, and didn't WANT to think about.

 

"Okay-nya then, let me see what-nya you're going to do."

 

What happened afterward...could be described as a beating.

 

Ni and Li attacked Magari with everything they had, literally: Youjutsu, Senjutsu, even Demonic Power... so what was the result?

 

While Ni was striking with fists coated in Senjutsu, Li quickly created copies through Youjutsu.

 

As for their answers.....

 

Magari suddenly lifted his foot and placed it on the ground, and in an instant, a purple Youjutsu pulse emanated!

 

It quickly deleted the copies and transformed them into masses of dark aura.

 

As for Ni's punches, Magari dodged them with the slightest movement.

 

Even though Li had joined in, Magari was still able to easily block both of them!

 

While she blocked the palm strike with the side of her hand, the striking hand suddenly gained upward momentum and hit Ni in the chin.

 

Ni lost her balance and fell to her knees.

 

"I caught you-nya!"

 

Li struck her back with both hands, her palms clasped...until it dissipated amidst the dark aura.

 

"Nya?!"

 

Li was stunned when suddenly the Youjutsu branches sprang into action, transforming into ropes that wrapped around Li's body like vines, pinning her to the ground in an upright position.

 

"Well, it's worse than I thought, at least in Senjutsu. Now I'll give you two some private guidance."

 

The two cat girls looked at her with tears in their eyes.

 

""Nyaaaa!?!?""

 

Daniele watched....broken in a cold sweat, this massacre

 

Finally, the two semi-conscious kittens were training according to the instructions Magari had given them, but thanks to Daniele's heightened senses, he hear their murmur, "We won't bite again."

 

And finally, Magari looked at Daniele with a grin.

 

'Yes... let's do it!'

 

While Daniele was mentally preparing himself, Magari talked about his training today.

 

"Simply put, we're picking up where we left off, but I've already taught the basics, so we'll continue with practical lessons."

 

"Practical lessons ---"

 

 

Before Daniele could finish speaking, the ground beneath Magari's feet suddenly shifted; sand, gravel, and stones instantly turned into mud and were hurled towards Daniele.

 

Daniele dodged with a swift movement, about to cast a spell, but Magari's voice beat him to it.

 

"You are only permitted to use Senjutsu."

 

Daniele let out a 'tsk' sound as his body was suddenly surrounded by bright white Touki.

 

With a swift kick, he tore apart the mud hands that were trying to catch him, and the wind unleashed a shockwave.

 

But these didn't reach Magari; she quickly transformed the mud barrier she'd essentially put up to protect herself into hard rock.

 

Daniele's reaction was to put his hand on the ground.

 

Suddenly, pegs started emerging from the ground and moving towards Magari.

 

Chief Nekomata quickly jumped out of the way and into the water.

 

Daniele rushed back to Magari and was met with an astonishing sight: the water...the water was moving!

 

Suddenly, water was fired at him in the form of superpressurized projectiles.

 

"What the hell!?"

 

Daniele exclaimed in astonishment as they outrun them, they were so fast!

 

"I thought we were just control forest-based things!"

 

Magari let out a giggle at his words.

 

"And who told you this? Not me. Water is also a part of nature, in fact, in the human world, the source of life is mostly water. This is the Underworld, though, but hey, the result is the same!"

 

The water suddenly swirled around Magari's hands, and the cat girl used it as a whip.

 

Daniele ducked to avoid the rapid, horizontal whip of water, and the pressurized water practically split the area behind him in two.

 

"So, what are you going to do in a situation like this, kid? Come on!"

 

Daniele gritted his teeth at Magari's words.

 

'Unlike Magari, I don't have full mastery of Senjutsu; she can defeat me in only Senjutsu combat. I can't use it completely randomly either, otherwise there's a risk of losing control, especially in the Underworld!'

 

But then a thought struck Daniele

 

"Regarding the negative effects of Senjutsu, I wonder...?"

 

A grin spread across Daniele's face as the white Touki enveloping his body suddenly turned a tremendously violent purplish-gold color, unleashing a shockwave that shattered the water whips.

 

[Beast King Touki]

 

Although Magari's instincts sent complex feelings toward that purple-golden Touki, she wasn't the type to succumb to her own emotions.

 

She remained calm, Magari already knew about Daniele's skill and had taken precautions, and young-looking, mature beauty knew that the he was aware of it too.

 

'Show me what you can do, my unnecessarily genius student'

 

Magari blinked in astonishment, while Daniele's next move was to manifest

 

Then, suddenly and without saying a chant, he quickly equipped his Balance Breaker [Regulus Armorum Rex](the Lion King's Armament)

 

His wings had grown to 12 and acquired a distinct but not overly pronounced golden sheen; halo had slightly transformed to resemble a crown.

 

As Daniele's golden eyes, with their intensely purple, vertical pupils, stared at her, her heart raced for a moment, as if she were facing a superior predator.

 

But the mocking expression on his face suggested he didn't end .

 

And Chant was heard, echoing throughout the entire area.

 

Daniele: This bright soul, even if it falls into an deepest darkness of the Abyss

 

Regulus: This divine beast's body, be one with the bright soul and exceed the endless Royal Path

 

Daniele: Guard, break , prevail , shine and soar to the sky

 

Regulus: This is the pride of the Divine Beast that shook the world

 

Daniele: My axe , my will reaches beyond imperial authority

 

Regulus: Ascend!

 

Daniele: Ascend!!

 

 

Both: Shine!!!!!

 

Magari shuddered at the immense amount of destructive power that suddenly unleashed, and quickly created a purple-black flame barrier, derived from a combination of her Youjutsu, Senjutsu, and Kasha, to protect herself, Ni, and Li.

 

But even it finally collapsed,she facing Daniele, who clad in a compact full-body armor of platina and gold, a chaotic yet harmonious blend of colors.

 

The 12 golden wings gleamed in pure platinum light, while his halo transformed into a fully ornate platinum crown, becoming three-part.

 

A platina-colored light gleamed from the depths of his eyes.

 

'Seeing someone in person is very different from seeing them online...'

 

Magari had seen the armor through Angel-Net, but face-to-face and so close... her reaction was certainly much more complex.

 

'Is this...is this a Divine Beast?'

 

But she still frowned and didn't understand Daniele's intention.

 

"Yes, this armor will defeat me instantly...but I've clearly stated that only the use of Senjutsu is permitted here."

 

Daniele gave a wide smile, as if he had been waiting for her to say that.

 

"Don't worry, I won't fight with this armor, the only thing I'll still use is... Senjutsu!"

 

Daniele held the Lion King's battle axe, now transformed into Halberd, as it touched the ground.

 

The Halberd, whose mere presence shattered the atmosphere, didn't deliver the expected destruction when its handle fell to the ground... no, quite the opposite!

 

Suddenly, the ground seemed to come alive, and Stone Lions randomly appeared and lunged at Magari!

 

The water beneath Magari moved rapidly, carrying her up into the sky!

 

The water beneath her feet completely enveloped her underwater body, making her look like a Lamia emerging from the water.

 

She dodged the lions that attacked her with swift but decisive movements.

 

"Stop, you idiot!! Are you trying to go crazy?!"

 

Magari shouted with rage, but all Daniele did was smirk and swing his Halberd.

 

As if commanded by their kings, plants and trees grew wildly and rushed towards Magari in the air!

 

Magari gritted her teeth and let the lions, who were still chasing her, charge.

 

*Boom!*

 

Magari, in the form of a small cat, ran quickly and nimbly through the rock blasts, her speed further increased by Touki's help!

 

She didn't hesitate as the trees and branches tried to envelop her, unleashing Kasha, Youjutsu, or Senjutsu, all mercilessly, though not without taking damage.

 

Daniele quickly stopped the attack as soon as he saw that she was injured.

 

" Magari alright--"

 

"Come to your senses, you fool! Do you want to be a mindless monster!?"

 

Magari screamed as she cupped his face in her hands.

 

Daniele stood frozen in astonishment; the woman's anger was completely muffled by the worry in her voice, and even her eyes welled up slightly.

 

'Shit!'

 

Daniele cursed under his breath.

 

[You went too far, partner.]

 

Although Daniele couldn't help but agree with Regulus, he needed to calm Magari down at the moment.

 

"Well... actually, the evil in the world hasn't affected me at all."

 

"ha...."

 

That was all Magari said, and yet she still noticed that his aura hadn't wavered in the slightest.

 

"But...when..."

 

Magari was truly at a loss for words, but Daniele was kind enough to explain it to her.

 

"My Abyss Side armor aka [Adamant Leo Sacrae Armatura Rex](the Armored Lion King of Celestial Supremacy), Essentially, let's just say it doesn't allow negative influences to affect me, meaning it also works in Senjutsu, or rather, in The Corruption of Evil in the World."

 

Magari's mouth opened and closed as processed his words for a while.

 

"Wait, then why didn't you tell me—wait... it's not that you didn't say, you didn't know, you just tested it now despite all those time."

 

Daniele let out a dry, helpless laugh.

 

Magari gnashed her teeth and swung her claws.

 

Daniele quickly, gently but swiftly grasped her hand.

 

"Wait, wait, wait! I'm sorry to worry you, but didn't this what you asked me to do, to come up with unexpected solutions?"

 

Magari glared at him angrily, her face flushed with shame, but she couldn't deny his words.

 

"So, in this form, can you freely use Senjutsu, without any risk?"

 

Daniele gave a thumbs-up

 

"Yep. As long as my skill level allows, I can spam all sorts of things freely!"

 

Magari angrily her his face with her hands

 

"...cheating---no, that's jusg nonsense."

 

Daniele desperately opened his hand.

 

"These are the Longinus for a reason"

 

Another scene came to Magari's mind.

 

"I understand, but you still don't have enough control, do you? That's why the explosion happened."

 

Instead of hiding it, Daniele nodded his head.

 

Magari looked at him as her hand slid to her chin.

 

"For now, take off your armor."

 

Daniele didn't understand why, but he obeyed the instructions and deactivated the Abyss Side.

 

He grumbled and stretched his shoulder as the pain immediately followed.

 

"So I understand it's tiring you out a lot too... now put it on again."

 

"????"

 

Daniele looked at her in surprise.

 

"Didn't you hear me? Now, go toward that ocean and put your armor back on."

 

"W-why????"

 

Daniele spoke in surprise, but Magari's answer was more logical than he had expected.

 

"Because such a dangerous situation poses a problem for the allies as well, and didn't you say that Senjutsu allows you to control Aurani? So yes, come on, I'll take those two unconscious kids away."

 

The children Magari was referring to were Li and Ni, two young nekomata whose instincts were overwhelmed by Daniele's [Beast King Touki], the Balance Breaker, and the Abyss Side pressures all at once.

 

After settling the two of them safely and comfortably, Daniele headed straight for the water to enter the Abyss Side, as Magari had told him they would wake up soon.

 

.....

 

Daniele: This bright soul, even if it falls into an deepest darkness of the Abyss

 

Regulus: This divine beast's body, be one with the bright soul and exceed the endless Royal Path

 

Daniele: Guard, break , prevail , shine and soar to the sky

 

Regulus: This is the pride of the Divine Beast that shook the world

 

Daniele: My axe , my will reaches beyond imperial authority

.

.

.

 

*Boom!*

 

Daniele entered the Abyss Side once again.

 

"Again"

 

Magari said in a cold tone

 

........

 

Daniele: This bright soul, even if it falls into an deepest darkness of the Abyss

 

Regulus: This divine beast's body, be one with the bright soul and exceed the endless Royal Path

 

Daniele: Guard, break , prevail , shine and soar to the sky

 

.

.

.

 

*Boom!*

 

"Again"

 

 

.........

 

Daniele: This bright soul, even if it falls into an deepest darkness of the Abyss

 

.

.

.

 

*Boom*

 

"Again"

 

Five... exactly five times!!!..... After entering and exiting the Abyss Side, there was only one thing Daniele felt.

 

'Is my body in one piece?'

 

He felt nothing

 

But thankfully it was over; after all, his body was too tired to move.

 

But that was until Magari suddenly hugged him tightly.

 

Her soft body was pressed against his muscular physique... Daniele felt fear, yes, not lust, but FEAR.

 

Because his stamina was completely restored through Senjutsu!

 

Magari sat on his stomach without saying anything.

 

Daniele couldn't even imagine the soft feeling of her elastic ass, which he had praised so much

 

He was sweating profusely.

 

"Come on student, keep training"

 

As shadow clouded her eyes, she spoke these words to the Lion King, whose eyes filled with tears.

 

-------------------------

 

A collapse, a mental and physical collapse .

 

While Daniele stared blankly into the air, that's what anyone who saw him would say to describe him.

 

On the other hand, Magari seemed unusually happy, even glancing at Daniele and grinning occasionally.

 

"Daniele-sama, please come to your senses!"

 

Ravel anxiously grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him.

 

Even her tsundere side was forgotten, replaced by pure concern for the man she loved.

 

"Darling~ are you okay?"

 

Irina was also poking his face.

 

Xenovia, of course, made a 'logical' decision by holding his face and kissing him on the lips.

 

Although she received amused or embarrassed glances from them, Xenovia was more surprised that it hadn't worked.

 

"Strange, my kiss of true love didn't work."

 

"I don't think the 'true love kiss' is a French kiss, Xenovia."

 

Lavinia couldn't help but giggle when Shigune told her.

 

"*Giggle* seriously Via~"

 

"Then maybe we should strangle this little pervert with our breasts, surely he'll come to his senses."

 

Akemi's playful suggestion elicited giggles from the superior group, but unfortunately, there was someone here who was quite far from having common sense.

 

Ophis appeared in front of Daniele, wrapped her arms around his head...and pulled him to her breast.

 

"Get better. Get better."

 

She said this in a toneless voice, stroking his head as she did so.

 

Finally, the motionless Daniele stirred.

 

"Okay. Then hug tighter."

 

Ophis hugged head tighter, even consciously making her breasts look fuller and more softer/ elastic.

 

Daniele actually moved this time.....struggling to avoid drowning!!!!

 

----------------------

 

Daniele pov

 

I took a sip of the orange juice Asia gave me, damn, I was dying there!!!.....though it wasn't a bad way to die.

 

"By the way, I'm sorry about the tremors and all that."

 

A lot must have happened there during training.

 

"What tremor?"

 

Kunou looked on curiously.

 

Oh really?

 

"Didn't you feel anything, nothing at all?"

 

"Actually, I felt a slight tremor for a moment, but it lasted less than a second."

 

Gabriel pointed

 

"Fufu~ so you did something there that shook the whole island, what could it be~"

 

Yasaka gave me and Magari mischievous glances.

 

Seriously, you perverted fox!

 

"Tiamat. She built a barrier "

 

At that moment, everyone looked at Tiamat, who was eating a tangerine.

 

The most powerful Dragon King shrugged mockingly.

 

"You two had quite a good time there, both you and that Lucifer brat, it seems you've tamed your own ' Supremancy."

 

Tiamat said as she stood up, until she came and stood in front of me.

 

She pressed her hand against the corner of the chair I was sitting on and gave me a sharp look.

 

"I haven't forgotten you offering me as a training doll to that Lucifer bastard... it would be fair if I did the same, wouldn't it?"

 

Is she... challenging me?

 

"I'm afraid I can't do this, my body..."

 

As delicate arms wrapped around my shoulders, two soft objects were pressed against the back of my head from behind.

 

"I'll handle it."

 

Seriously, Magari... are you still holding a grudge?!

 

.......

 

Artificial World

 

An endless expanse with grass

 

"Is it the same as the Rating Game System?"

 

Tiamat explained with a smile on her face.

 

"Don't worry, Extra Hard, and those outside are our match from the orb."

 

 I understand, it's quite suitable though, I don't know how different it is compared to what Magnus created.

 

"May I ask a question?"

 

Tiamat raised an eyebrow but signaled me to continue.

 

"Your fight against Vali.....Who won?"

 

Tiamat's lips curved upwards.

 

"I lost"

 

I understand....that means I can't afford to lose.

 

As [Regulus Nemea] appeared in my hand, a destructive aura crackled around me.

 

Chant poured out of my mouths

 

<>

 

<>

 

I could do it quickly without Chant, but it would cause a bit of a loss of stamina, and I'm not risking that!

 

"Are you sure you want to fight with swimsuit?"

 

Yes, Tiamat was still wearing a swimsuit.

 

"Don't worry, this is a magical work, don't hesitate."

 

With a grunt, I said nothing more than, Now is the time for duel

 

[Accel]

 

The golden aura gathered in my greaves.

 

And I disappeared from my place!

 

I swung [Regulus Nemea] in current Great Axe state!

 

Tiamat responded with her hand covered in celestial blue scales!

 

*Boom!!!!*

 

My body was surrounded with

 

Tiamat was doing the same thing with her own dragon aura.

 

....and we both disappeared from our spots!

 

While I swung Regulus Nemea with swift blows as if it weighed nothing, Tiamat's scale-covered claws deflected my attacks without directly hitting the axe blade.

 

A kick came suddenly!

 

[Accel!]

 

I unleashed a powerful kick of my own!

 

However, my foot slowed down when it should have sped up!

 

Tiamat's kick hit my chest, sending me flying backward.

 

As I spread my wings, I managed to steady myself and land with difficulty. What was that?!

 

[The effect of aura flow and armored boots has been reversed, partner]

 

Reversed...wait

 

"Reversal!"

 

As I spoke in astonishment, Suddenly, the world within my perception turned upside down; everything seemed reversed and wrong!

 

"You grasped it quickly"

 

Although Tiamat's voice could be heard, it came from the upper left.

 

[It's coming from the left!]

 

I believed Regulus's words without a moment's hesitation, then quickly turned around and punched it!

 

†Holy Fist†

 

This time Tiamat's kick was blocked by my fist, but instead of relaxing for a second, I slid back and avoided the swift reverse kick that whizzed past my face.

 

As soon as I did that, numerous heavy boats enhanced with Dragon Aura rained down on me.

 

[Holy Drive!]

 

The purple parts of my armor turned a blue-gold color as an immense amount of Holy Power was released from my body.

 

I used repeatedly while using this to counter Tiamat's aura support!

 

Each of our strikes sent shockwaves that would destroy a portion of the area.

 

And we left our places!

 

As we continued to clash in the air, her punches and kicks collided with my axe blows.

 

No matter how strong her scales, under the blows they cracked and blood flowed even not deep

 

And all that aura gathered at that moment into a single, tiny point in the center of the axe blade.

 

†Divisore del Cielo!†

 

"Reversal"

 

We moved at the same time; my blow, which should have normally cut through almost everything, instantly dissipated all the accumulated aura, turning the axe blunt!

 

 

This meant Tiamat could stop it with her tail without the slightest hesitation.

 

Although the underlying force was still cracking its scales and leaving destruction in its wake, it hadn't fulfilled its primary function.

 

Tiamat was about to deliver her finishing blow with two fists...well, at least that was her plan.

 

[Nemean Axle!]

 

I swung my clenched fist in my left hand at his face!

 

As my fist, a blend of Holy and Destructive forces, struck her face, seven successive circles of magic appeared, momentarily deflecting Tiamat's double fist.

 

†Slip†

 

This time, Tiamat's body was flying when she crashed to the ground, creating a massive crater!

 

When I produced countless weapons of light in the air, such as axes, spears, and maces, they were all sent down.

 

But they collided with a pale blue Fire that glowed through the smoke!

 

That fire not burn my light, no, it froze it!

 

It was like a kind of Bone Chilling Flame.

 

Tiamat licked the blood that trickled from her lip.

 

.....strangely sexy

 

"So you figured it out that quickly?"

 

I shrugged in response to Tiamat's question.

 

"It's a kind of gambling, you can't use it back-to-back, can you, your Reversal?"

 

"'It's not 'My Reversal'. There's only one Reversal, mine, the others are just cheap copies, let me show you the difference."

 

Spreading her beautiful wings, Tiamat charged towards me!

 

I leaped backward to avoid her fist—and her fist appeared right in front of me.

 

A ball of light appeared beside me.

 

†Switcheroo†

 

I shifted the ball, the ball of light, and it shone brightly the moment Tiamat hit it.

 

But somehow, probably driven by pure instinct, she still found out where I was and stuck her tail in me. 

 

!

 

I quickly called my partner, but the lion symbol on the axe suddenly flashed blue and failed.

 

Wait, did she cut off my communication with Regulus?!

 

I froze instantly when her tail hit my stomach.

 

I couldn't make a sound, Tiamat's hands grabbed me, gripping my joints and wrists, and threw me down!

 

What's happening!?

 

I re-entered [Holy Drive], as far as I know, Reversal can't change things with dual attributes at the same time---

 

But the pain that burned my body proved otherwise!

 

Holy Power turned into Demonic Power, forcibly depleting my reserves!

 

Nevertheless, I dodged Tiamat's axe kick with a quick turn, then spun around and delivered a kick!

 

Tiamat's blocking us caused us to distance ourselves again.

 

I did a somersault on the ground for a moment and then returned to my original position while Tiamat landed calmly.

 

"Reversal... now it's clear... yours isn't subject to those restrictions."

 

Tiamat looked at me with a smile on her beautiful face, and despite the very minor wounds on her body, she seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

 

"Of course, I created Reversal for myself, do you think others can use it to the same extent?"

 

Oh, I want to punch myself, I shouldn't have taken her so lightly.

 

[I'm back!!!]

 

I let out a deep sigh; I'd sung this Chant so many times today that it felt nauseated...but so what!

 

"Let's go, Regulus!"

 

[Yeah!!]

 

This bright soul, even if it falls into an deepest darkness of the Abyss

 

Regulus: This divine beast's body, be one with the bright soul and exceed the endless Royal Path

 

Guard, break , prevail , shine and soar to the sky

 

Regulus: This is the pride of the Divine Beast that shook the world

 

My axe , my will reaches beyond imperial authority

 

Regulus: Ascend!

 

Ascend!!

 

We: Shine!!!!!

 

 

I am in my strongest state right now.

 

[Swift]

 

As I took a step forward, I felt something trying to interfere...unfortunately, it's difficult with around!

 

I came before Tiamat, and as she bowed her head, my Halberd wounded her shoulder, this time deeply!

 

I felt the same thing once again.

 

"Useless!"

 

From the Regulus head in my chest, a roar suddenly erupted, a blend of Destruction and Sound!

 

Tiamat raised her arms to protect herself, but she slipped backward.

 

Suddenly, she opened her mouth and sent that same pale blue fire at me.

 

I plunged into the fire without a care in the world; my ranged defence completely blocked the fire, there wasn't even the slightest bit of coolness.

 

The constant barbed attacks from my Halberd quickly overwhelmed Tiamat's defenses, rendering any use of Reversal on me useless.

 

But despite all that, we still fought on equal footing; her punches cracked my armor, her kicks hurt, she even headbutted me.

 

Simply put, a pure power battle where all trickery is discarded!

 

Even though I said that, it didn't mean Tiamat was throwing stupid punches; she was still using Reversal.

 

She had already figured out that the technique wasn't working for me.

 

To stabilize the atmosphere shattered by my Halberd, to slow me down, even to allow her body to heal instead of bleeding, Reversal was an absolutely terrifying trait.

 

But I can still win!

 

[Nemean Comet]

 

A gold-colored purple jewel-encrusted knuckle has been created!

 

With a single punch, I delivered 7 concentrated Holy-Destructive blows simultaneously.

 

As Tiamat recoiled, Regulus, in human form, appeared beside me and kicked her.

 

Despite her attempts to stop herself, Taimat hit the ground quite a few times, but eventually managed to stay on her feet.

 

"Giggle, I've changed my mind, fighting you is more interesting than fighting Lucifer."

 

"Is this a compliment?"

 

Tiamat grinned.

 

"So, let's finish it."

 

What's that---

 

It exploded suddenly

 

I couldn't understand what was happening to Tiamat, for she was currently radiating an existence no less than Fenrir's!!!!!!!

 

She looked at me with the same grin as her wounds quickly healed.

 

[...Outrage]

 

Wait, what? But they only did that when the Dragons went mad with rage... I paused for a moment... did that woman... seriously manage that?

 

"You reversed Outrage through Reversal"

 

Although I understood what was happening, my surprise was very obvious.

 

Outrage was the reason Dragons were considered the most powerful in this world, alongside the Gods.

 

Fafnir, who should be at Dragon King level, went astray in Outrage and injured Rizevim, who is a Super Devil, and even broke Crom Croach's arm.

 

So, Tiamat already seems to possess at least God Class level power.

 

Standing before me was a being probably akin to the Heavenly Dragons in raw force; I should be worried, perhaps even afraid... why am I grinning?

 

That damned Vali has infected me with his bad habits.

 

Speaking of Vali...

 

"You said Vali won, was that a lie?"

 

"Well, I was caught off guard by that kid's technique, and I might have underestimated him a bit, but hey, defeat is defeat, I'm not a loser who can't accept a loss."

 

Huh, I have quite a bit of respect for this woman now.

 

 [This is going to be so much fun]

 

"Oh, it definitely will!"

 

An incredible amount of aura emanated from Regulus's body, and from me too!

 

[Resonance]

 

Thank to Extra Joker Card within my soul; my body and Regulus's bodies strengthened simultaneously.

 

I should be able to do it right now, even if only for a few moments!

 

At that moment, diamond of my Halberd gleamed,

 

And golden lightning flashed!

 

[Jarnbjorn]

 

With this announcement, the intensity of the lightning increased tenfold.

 

Tiamat's eyes widened, well, I liked that reaction ♪

 

"The Aura of a God"

 

A chuckle escaped my lips.

 

"Well, I still can't fully control that hammer, but redirecting its power through my indestructible Longinus...look, that's possible."

 

Regulus reached out and grasped our Halberd.

 

We'll break through!

 

Tiamat seemed ready to spring into action too....and we went in!!!!

 

 --------------

I was lying idly on the ground.

 

Tiamat is on top of me now, her foot right on my chest.

 

In the last clash, the Artificial dimension disappeared, but I lost, Tobio didn't just narrowly escape, I lost directly...but well, at least I inflicted a wound.

 

I grinned as I looked at the charred scar on her shoulder—it hurt!!!!!

 

Tiamat was moving her foot on my chest.

 

"You seem proud of yourself."

 

"Well...the view is beautiful."

 

I looked at Tiamat's breasts, which she covered with her arms, and yes, I tore her swimsuit too, at least the top part.

 

Tiamat raised one eyebrow.

 

"Is that all? I thought you were thinking of more foolish things."

 

Tiamat suddenly pulled her arm away, letting me see them naked....damn it.

 

It was great to be among the last remnants of Abyss Side.

 

"Wait, seriously, aren't you that shameless!"

 

Ravel stepped forward at that moment and handed her a towel.

 

"And please, take your foot off Dany's chest."

 

Gabriel came and put her arm around Tiamat's shoulder, saying with a smile.

 

"Yes, yes, whatever."

 

Tiamat didn't care as she wrapped herself in the towel.

 

"Tiamat-san, seriously, you don't have a problem with Dany-san seeing you naked?"

 

Asia asked, I'm curious too! What's going on?!

 

Tiamat shrugged.

 

"Would you be ashamed of a newborn baby walking around naked? I'm not ashamed of a milk-scented little brat."

 

"Excuse me!?"

 

I quickly stood up.

 

"What do you mean 'excuse me'? When I was born, your ancestors weren't even vitamins in an orange yet."

 

"That's not the point, I'm not a baby!"

 

"Whatever you say."

 

My honor as a man is being insulted!?

 

[Since when has this been so important?]

 

Ever since a direct attack was launched against it

 

[Well, fair]

 

Yes, the new mission is to get Tiamat to accept that I'm a man! This has become personal!

 

While I was formulating attack plans, Ophis suddenly appeared with a Familiar egg.

 

"It hatches.."

 

The moment Ophis finished speaking, the egg suddenly started to crack (I was expecting something a bit Pokémon-like) but still made me nervous!!

 

And suddenly, an ominous energy surged!

 

What did you give me, Serafall!?
