T-Too weak? Maou-class is considered weak?!
Rias and the others were utterly speechless, all rolling their eyes at me.
However—perhaps from my perspective, they were indeed a bit weak.
"Let's go. We should meet up with Azazel and the others," I said, sheathing [Excalibur].
I explained the current situation to Rias and the others, then led the group towards Sirzechs's location.
———
Along the way, everyone chatted back and forth.
When Rias learned about Koneko and Kuroka's past experiences, she and the other girls felt immense sympathy for Koneko and fully accepted Kuroka.
Simultaneously, I took the opportunity to open the two Red Grade gift bags.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for opening Red Grade gift bags x2. Obtained: (Complete Set of Breathing Styles), (Oppai Dragon Song).]
As the system's voice sounded, my smile instantly vanished, replaced by a look of utter speechlessness.
'Breathing Styles... Is this the ability from Demon Slayer—' I thought, recalling scenes from the anime.
'The Breathing Styles were invented by Yoriichi Tsugikuni. They enhance cardiopulmonary function—allowing the blood to gain a large amount of oxygen in a short time.'
'This greatly enhances the user's physical abilities, temporarily granting them physical prowess comparable to demons.'
'The original Breathing Style was "Sun Breathing," from which the five basic styles—Flame, Water, Wind, Stone, and Thunder—were derived. Subsequently, other Breathing Styles were developed.'
'This reward is quite useful. I can teach it to Xenovia, Kiba, Tomoe, and other sword users later—'
'But this Oppai Dragon Song...'
'Damn it, System! Giving me this utterly shameless thing! I'd rather die than sing this cringey song!'
———
Before long, several figures appeared before us.
It was Odin, the leaders of the Three Factions, Vali's group from the Khaos Brigade, and a Kuudere Loli with long black hair, dressed in a gothic Lolita outfit.
Seeing this, the corners of my mouth involuntarily curled into a slight arc.
Ophis, the Infinitely cute Dragon—I finally get to meet this Dragon Loli today.
'Vali, you really delivered! First Kuroka, now Ophis. Well done!'
———
Evidently, Ophis had also noticed me. Her usually indifferent eyes now showed a rare ripple of emotion. Her expressionless little face revealed a trace of intense excitement and infatuation.
"Finally... Finally, I've found you, Hibari Kyoya—"
Ophis's figure flashed, appearing before me. Her small, delicate hand caressed my face, her expression somewhat infatuated as she spoke softly.
Rias and the others were somewhat wary. After all, they didn't know Ophis's true identity but suspected she was a member of the Khaos Brigade.
Moreover, the intensity of the aura radiating from her was terrifyingly powerful—Aside from me, no one present could match her.
"Looks like you've already figured out her identity, Hibari Kyoya—This is our leader, Ophis!"
Vali chuckled lightly, noticing the change in my expression.
"What?! Ophis?!"
"She's the leader of the Khaos Brigade, Ophis? The legendary Infinite Dragon God!!"
"She's... a bit different from what I imagined!"
"..."
Rias and the others were utterly stunned.
The legendary Infinite Dragon God—leader of the terrorist group Khaos Brigade—was a kuudere Loli? And unbelievably cute?
It completely shattered their worldview.
———
At this moment, I also discovered the task associated with Ophis.
[Sign-in Task: Ophis; Task Grade: Gold; Condition: Abduct her home, dispel her desire to return home.]
Seeing this task condition, I felt secretly delighted.
After all, although the Infinite Dragon Ophis was extremely strong, her personality was innocent and naive, unaware of worldly affairs—the purest Loli Dragon.
Everything she did was aimed at defeating the Great Red, reclaiming the Dimensional Gap, and regaining her initial tranquility.
Abducting her home was child's play for me.
As for dispelling her desire to return home—that might be a bit troublesome. However, with enough effort, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.
After spending some time together, I was confident I could make Ophis stay.
"Ophis, what do you need from me?" I asked, patting her small head with a gentle smile.
Towards my intimate gesture, Ophis showed no resistance at all, instead becoming even more infatuated with me.
"The power level of the Dragon within you surpasses even Great Red. I need your help to defeat her and reclaim my initial tranquility!" Ophis's red lips parted slightly as she hugged me, shaking her head adorably.
"Is that why you came looking for me, Ophis?" I sighed.
Even after existing for countless eons, the cute Dragon Ophis was still as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Precisely because she was too pure, coupled with her terrifying power, the Khaos Brigade emerged, aiming to deceive and exploit her.
Even though Ophis knew their intentions, she still held onto a sliver of hope. After all, she just wanted to return to the Dimensional Gap where she was born.
"Mm... I don't quite understand either? Deep down, I just want to see you, want to stay with you always. This feeling is very strong!"
Ophis's inner turmoil grew even stronger, feeling my presence.
Hearing her words, my gaze softened.
'This is probably the mutual attraction between Dragons. And the stronger the Dragon, the easier it is to attract the opposite sex.'
"Ophis, how about staying with me? Once I recover my strength, I'll help you defeat the Great Red and reclaim your place of tranquility." At this point, I began my persuasion technique.
As for power recovery—that was pure nonsense. I could already borrow the Azure Dragon's power anytime, anywhere.
However, to abduct the cute Dragon Ophis, I naturally needed an excuse to keep her by my side.
Witnessing this scene, Rias and the others rolled their eyes at me.
However, this time, Rias and the others didn't resist.
After all, abducting the leader of the Khaos Brigade would greatly weaken their greatest support. Dealing with them in the future wouldn't be too hard.
"Mm~ I want to be with you!" Saying this, Ophis tilted her head slightly and lightly pecked my lips.
"This is... what I saw humans call a 'thank you' gift!" After speaking, the Infinite Dragon's expressionless little face seemed to flash with a hint of red, looking incredibly cute.
Hearing this, although I was greatly shocked by the cute Dragon's actions, the joy in my heart was already overflowing onto my face.
Azazel, witnessing this scene, revealed a smug grin, looking utterly punchable.
Sirzechs glanced at Rias, feeling helpless.
'Rias, your ambition to seize the position of the main wife might just fall short.'
