From the sword held by the man, the enormous and very black evil thing starts to take physical form. What appears from the sword is –— a large eight headed Dragon! It's shedding tears of blood from its eyes and its large mouth which is wide open is showing its sharp fangs.
...A Dragon grew out from a sword...! It only has eight heads coming out from the sword but even so, it's still gigantic! Even if it's only eight heads, it's over ten metres in length! Each of the heads moves as if each of them has a mind of its own.
Irina's dad becomes speechless.
"——! ...Yaegaki-kun, t-that sword...!"
The man, the swordsman called Yaegaki, strokes the blade which has eight heads growing out from it.
"...Divine Spiritual Sword "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi". Well, right now it's been altered and looks like this now."
— Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!
I've heard about it! I'm sure it's the Japanese holy-sword. From what I heard the sword was currently broken and it was in the middle of being repaired... But it's my first time hearing that a Dragon is residing in it! Rather, this ominous feeling isn't that of a holy-sword but more of a demonic-sword!
Ddraig who has been quiet till now tells me.
[...Partner, that's an Evil Dragon.]
—Evil Dragon!
I guessed so. That evil aura is so dangerous that I can only think of an Evil Dragon.
[The Evil Dragon resided in that sword. And this poisonous aura...]
Looks like Ddraig is familiar with this aura...
Irina then shouts.
"Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was supposed to be broken and was in middle of restoration!"
"That's why it was repaired. Though it has changed a lot... The sword which appeared from Yamato-no-Orochi to be possessed by the said Dragon itself... Don't you think this is sarcastic and is wonderful?"
Yaegaki then says it at us.
"My hatred and the evil intent of the legendary Evil Dragon, "Venom Blood Dragon" Yamata-no-Orochi, possessed in this sword— I shall use this to give punishment to all of you!"
Saying that, Yaegaki slashes the sword possessed by the Evil Dragon with all his might!
The eight heads come at us! Maybe it's because each of them has a mind of its own, so each head stretches out from the sword and comes at each of us!
"Ku!"
Rossweisse-san activates the defence magic-circle to block the Evil Dragon's head charging at her but she gets pushed back after she couldn't withstand its power!
The head which is after Xenovia is trying to attack her violently by showing its fangs to bite her to death!
"Ha!"
Xenovia crushes the head with a single slash of her holy-sword by jumping to the rear—but the head regenerates immediately!
"—! The head regenerated!?"
I didn't have time to be shocked as there is another head coming at me at highspeed! Ddraig shouts inside me!
[Partner! The poison of Yamata-no-Orochi is dangerous! At all costs, do not touch its fangs or poison!]
Poison—. Samael flashes back in my mind but I doubt its powerful as his one. But it's a poison of an Evil Dragon. There's no way I can just simply receive its attack head on!
I gather aura to my right arm and shoot the mass of aura at it immediately!
—A massive Dragon-Shot!
Several heads of Yamata-no-Orochi get blown away immediately by being hit by my attack made up of demonic-power. –But it regenerates as if nothing happened!
There's no end to this! Should I aim for the wielder!? When I look at the enemy I can see the Evil Dragon's head around the man as if it's protecting him. ...So he already predicted we will aim for him huh!
Well, with the endurance of these Dragon's heads, we can easily blow them away! I simply need to blow all of them away in a single shot!
"Fairies!"
I make Dividing Wyvern Fairies appear from each of my jewels. When I give my command to them, the Wyverns fly in random directions in the air and surround the man. The Wyverns will attack the enemy at highspeed at times. Well, they usually dodge it though.
But the preparation is set. With this I can reflect and boost my Dragon Shots to defeat the enemies instantly!
"Ise-san!"
Asia shouts out my name. I know why. ...She's telling me to not push myself.
Yeah, I did unlock the Longinus Smasher in my previous fight with Euclid. That effect is still remaining in me. ...Due to that attack being too powerful and dangerous, I used up the majority of my Dragon's power that is inside me. In other words boosting up my power by using the Wyverns will put too much stress on me. Using boost during Balance Breaker state would be fine for my stamina but using Wyverns on top of boosting would be hard for my current state.
According to Ddraig I would need to wait a month for it to be fully charged. So it means using Wyverns in my perfect condition and also using Longinus Smasher would still take time. One shot per month. Should I say this is an expensive deal or a cheap deal? Well, it will depend on the situation but for my current self its quiet good. I did unlock such a strong attack. But there will be no point if I can't use it when I'm in danger!
I shoot out my Dragon Shot lightly! The bullet of demonic-power gets reflected by one of the Wyverns and changes its course! One of the Evil Dragon's head lets its guard down but another head responds to it and bites it down!
If several heads acts on its own like that, it can support another head if it fails. And it feels like the Evil Dragon is starting to respond better to our actions! Rossweisse-san's arrows of ice made by her magic are also dodged and Xenovia's strike gets evaded just before it hits! My rapid Dragon Shots also get taken down by its massive flamethrower!
—!
A suspicious scenery appears before my eye. One of the heads—digs into the ground!
I have a bad feeling so I shout at Asia!
"Asiaaaaaa! Summon Fafniiiiiir!"
Asia tries to draw the Dragon Gate immediately but I can see the Evil Dragon moving through the ground as it pushes the ground up!
"I won't let you!"
Xenovia releases an aura from her holy-sword. The holy aura perfectly slices the Evil Dragon that is moving through the ground! —But it's still moving at rapid speed despite being hit!
[Partner! If it has a powerful thought an Evil Dragon that takes a physical form can still move even if it gets its head cut off!]
—! Damn it! The direction that head is moving towards! It's heading towards Asia and Irina's dad! Asia's summon won't make it in time!
Xenovia and I understood the situation right away so we try to head their way. But several Yamata-no-Orochi's heads stretch forward and blocks our path!
" "You're in the way!" "
We eliminate the heads forcefully. —But the man makes a mad laughter!
"Hahahahahahahaha! My anger and Cleria's revenge! I shall purify it with your soul!"
The Evil Dragon's head which comes out from the ground! Rossweisse-san sends her magic-circle in front of it!
"I won't let you!"
That magic hits right before the Evil Dragon hits Asia and Irina's dad. The Evil Dragon's head crumbles. But one of its fangs flies towards them—which grazes Irina's dad on his shoulder.
"Ku...!"
Irina's dad receives damage on his shoulder. Asia tries to heal the wound immediately—but the man, Yaegaki, becomes so happy that he has tears flowing from his eyes.
"...This is fine. This is how it should be. Yeah, suffer. Suffer so much."
Even the wound should be healed by Asia's Sacred Gear, Irina's dad falls on his knee and has his body shake violently.
—The poison!
"Papa!"
Irina panics at her dad's change but stands front of Yaegaki right away!
"...How dare you attack papa?!"
Seeing Irina shiver in anger the man makes a satisfied expression.
"...That's it. Do you understand? That's anger. The emotion carried by those who had their loved ones hurt. Even if you are an Angel, you can't hold down your rage due to having your family hurt, can you?"
"...!"
Irina can't argue back. The man simply puts on a evil smile.
—! An aura belonging to someone else approaches this place. When I look that way I witness Akeno-san, Kiba, Koneko-chan, and Gasper!
"We came flying here because we received a report about a dangerous aura being detected!"
The ORC is all here. The man falls back seeing that. He jumps to the rear and takes his distance.
"...Staying any longer would have myself exposed."
Saying that, the man shouts towards Irina's dad.
"Office-Chief! I will definitely take my revenge on you, Heaven, and the House of Bael! I will never forgive you all! Absolutely not!"
We try to reach him right away but a teleportation magic-circle appears below his feet instantly.
As he disappears into the light, the man says it at us.
"—The paradise called Kuou town all of you are living in is the world made from many sacrifices. The Devil who inherited that town and also carries the blood of the House of Bael as well as her servants. Remember that well."
I came to a conclusion after seeing the emblem drawn on the magic-circle. That teleportation magic-circle—belongs to Qlippoth. The man—is an assassin sent by the Qlippoth.
