"Get into the sky!" Seeing everything around them dissolving, Vali's team panicked. Bikou summoned his cloud and flew upward, with the others following.
All of them witnessed the horrifying scene below—such a small attack causing such devastation.
If that strike had hit him, Vali shuddered at the thought. There wouldn't even be a corpse left.
[Vali, that was my self-sealed ability—Reduce. It annihilates all existence except inorganic matter. Blood, bones, organs, souls—everything is reduced bit by bit. My halving ability was developed based on this power. That bastard even has this power!]
Albion's explanation made Vali understand just how terrifying those flames were. But if it was poison, why did it look like fire?
His doubt was immediately answered.
[And that flame feels familiar… I finally recognize it. Its nature changed slightly, but it's unmistakable—Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig's flames. I didn't sense Ddraig in him. Given he copied my power earlier, then—]
A new sound rang out, crushing Vali's heart.
From the jewel on Raize's White Dragon Emperor armor came a sound distinct from before.
"Boost—— Boost—— Boost—— Boost—— Boost—— Boost—— Boost————!!"
Raize's power surged at terrifying speed. And it wasn't over.
"Divide—— Divide—— Divide—— Divide—— Divide—— Divide—— Divide————!!"
Vali's Juggernaut power was continuously siphoned and added to Raize.
Boosted and reduced power stacked endlessly. Before Vali's stunned eyes, tangible, terrifying aura erupted from Raize.
That pressure had already matched Vali's Juggernaut Drive—and was still rising without limit.
Combining the powers of the White Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor—Vali had encountered the impossible. Even Albion was left speechless.
"So what is it, Vali? Did my little surprise leave you dumbfounded?"
Raize's voice was filled with delight, his entire body radiating overwhelming power. This was what he meant by thanking Vali.
Having just obtained the Red Dragon Emperor's power, the White Dragon Emperor's power arrived as a gift. Raize felt like he'd won the lottery twice in a row.
With power surging through him, Raize lashed out, claws extended, launching Qin Yue Yin toward Vali. His speed after halving and boosting was monstrous.
With this immense strength, Raize began breaking his own limits.
His Absolute Domain had now reached ninety-five percent. This battle with Vali had been immensely fruitful.
Bang!
Raize's Yatagarasu struck viciously, armored claws slamming onto Vali's dragon head, followed by ferocious flame bombardment that blew it apart.
Without pause, Raize unleashed a Super move. Empowered by Penetrate, a blood-red savage claw descended with murderous intent.
[Banned Method 1218: Shiki Yatagarasu!]
The crimson claw tore through all of Vali's Juggernaut defenses in an instant. Massive gashes opened across the White Dragon armor's chest and limbs.
Vali's true body was exposed at the chest, then met with a storm of brutal attacks.
Ge-Shiki Yuri Ori → Move 3 → Move 4 → Move 9 → Method 108: Shiki Yami Barai → Ge-Shiki Yumebiki → Method 109: Shiki Yomi Barai!
The pure white dragon armor was completely dismantled. Each savage strike dealt real damage.
Raize had no intention of killing Vali. After knocking him unconscious, he grabbed the limp body at his waist, descended, and retracted the flames and poison.
"Vali!"
Two men and two women from Vali's team rushed over. Raize casually handed the unconscious Vali back.
Bikou supported Vali. Seeing he was only unconscious, Arthur knew Raize had held back.
Le Fay began healing magic, while Raize withdrew his Balance Breaker form, his wings folding back into his body.
"It won't work. Vali's body has holy attributes interfering with my healing."
Vali's injuries were severe. His chest was torn open, the deepest wounds exposing internal organs. If it were another devil, Raize's earlier attack would have been fatal long ago.
Raize's holy energy still lingered on the wounds. Everyone turned their gaze toward Raizen—after all, he was the one who caused them, and he should have a solution.
"Let me handle it."
Facing everyone's gazes, Raizen shrugged, stepped forward, squatted down, and placed his hand above Vali's chest. The remaining holy power was guided by him and completely withdrawn.
Crackle!
Then a pink-purple lightning light wave struck Vali's body. The wounds on Vali's body began to heal as if time were flowing backward. This level of healing ability directly caused Le Fay, standing nearby, to widen her eyes.
The other party clearly possessed holy power, so being able to heal injuries was nothing surprising. What was unexpected was that he could even heal Vali, who was a devil, without any obstacles.
Thinking about the power the other party had displayed—holy power, a blade that can cut space, light-attribute fist and foot equipment, the power to stop time, and the White Dragon Emperor's power that he had seized from Vali by unknown means…
Now there was also terrifying healing ability. His practical abilities were really not few at all. Yet he had never revealed the Sacred Gear that Vali spoke of, and they still did not know what its true power was.
