Chapter 264: Chapter 254: The Black Dragon Awakens!

[Alice Side]

”Take this...!”

Each swing of my spear echoes with clashing metal.

I, Alice Audilia, am locked in combat with Vika, one of Asem’s minions.

”Fufu, you’re holding out this time. Improving so fast... impressive,” Vika taunts.

She summons swords and spears from magic circles, attacking while I dodge, then strikes herself.

Last time, I fell for her tricks and lagged behind.

She used a machine gun from this world!

Who expects that!?

Why such a bulky gun!?

Why so many shots!?

And she keeps switching weapons!

So annoying!

I parry a spear thrust and retort, ”Honored by the praise, but it means nothing from you!”

”Oh, pity♪” Vika discards her spear, summoning two guns.

”Here’s some holy bullets.”

She fires both guns!

Not again!

Normal guns run out of ammo, but hers don’t.

If I take a hit as a devil, the damage is massive!

Being a devil is such a hassle!

...Not that I mind being with Issei...

If we’re together forever... Wait, what am I thinking in battle!?

”Argh! I’ll punch myself later!”

”...What’s with the solo tantrum?” Vika asks.

”Nothing! None of your business!”

I swing my spear horizontally, laced with lightning.

The shockwave tears the ground.

Vika leaps back, dodging.

She smirks, hand to her mouth.

”Thinking of your dear hero? Oh, princess is in love~!”

”Shut up!”

Infuriating woman!

I won’t back down until I land a hit!

But it’s tough.

Rushing in triggers her magic circles’ weapons.

Even if I dodge, her skill counters me.

Hard to attack.

...And I feel she’s hiding something.

Until I know what, I can’t act recklessly.

I don’t want to repeat last time’s mistake.

Vika speaks, ”You’re staring... could it be...?”

She’s onto me probing her trump card.

Will she keep it hidden or reveal it?

But her next words—

”Are you... a lesbian?”

”Huh?”

”You’re eyeing my body like that... I mean, I’m quite the looker, and unlike you, I’ve got these~” She flaunts her chest, lifting it to show cleavage.

So annoying!

”I’ve got... a chest too... that cleavage...” sniff

”Don’t cry over it,” Vika says.

”Shut up! Can’t I dream!? It’ll grow! It’ll get bigger! I’ll have cleavage!”

It hurts to say, but I can’t stop!

I want to retort!

Vika looks at me with pity.

Please, not that look!

It’s humiliating!

She sighs, ”Joking aside... you’re probing my ability, right? Your attacks are more cautious than last time.”

”Caught on? Show me then.”

”Trump cards stay hidden. That’s why they’re trump cards.”

Knew it.

Not a trump card if it’s revealed easily.

I need to be more cautious.

What to do?

She’s infuriating but strong.

Another trump card makes her trickier.

I ready my spear, glaring at her.

A presence approaches.

A tall, lanky man with brown hair tied back—Valus, ’The Peeper.’

He was fighting Kiba...!

I notice he’s carrying something—bloodied Kiba.

”Kiba!?”

No response.

Obvious, given his state.

Valus sets him down.

”Don’t worry, he’s alive. He’ll die if left, but treatment now will save him.”

”...!”

Valus is unscathed.

Not a scratch.

He completely overwhelmed Knight King Kiba...?

His ability reads minds and sees a moment into the future—cheat-level.

Even so, to take down Kiba without a graze is terrifying.

”I didn’t kill him. He’s alive,” Valus says.

”Don’t read my mind casually.”

Rude to pry into a lady’s thoughts, Jimmy.

”Stop badmouthing me in your head!”

Fine, Jimmy.

”I’ll cry!”

Jimmy’s crying.

I glance at Kiba.

He’s breathing, not dead.

Asia’s healing will fix him.

But this situation...

I’m losing to Vika.

Now Valus is here.

Two-on-one is rough...

Then—

”Vika, let’s call it a day,” Valus says.

Vika nods, ”Yeah, she’s distracted by her friend. I’m done.”

She dismisses her weapons.

Suspicious, I ask, ”What’s your game?”

Valus answers, ”Simply put, we’re letting you go.”

”What?”

He looks at Kiba, ”Killing him is easy... but a waste. He’ll grow stronger. Ending him now is regrettable.”

Vika adds, ”You’re too worried about him to fight fully, right? So, I’m out. Let’s spar again♪”

They leave.

...What’s with them?

Not quite mocking, but...

With questions swirling, I carry Kiba to Asia.

[Alice Side Out]

Scattering mass-produced dragons, me, Koneko, Saji, and Nimura-san reach the school’s front.

My allies fight fiercely.

”Late, Issei-kun!”

”Arriving at the climax, like a story’s hero!” Reina and Xenovia fend off dragons, panting.

I notice a dragon soar unnaturally.

Not just one—more are launched skyward.

A bizarre scene approaches us.

A massive aura rises into view.

”Sorry for the wait. Agreas is under our control, so I was sent,” Sairaorg says, smirking, as he punches dragons skyward.

Agreas is ours!

Everyone smiles, attacking with renewed vigor!

Rias runs to Sairaorg, ”You came!”

”Yeah. Seegvaira Agares is handling things. The enemy thinned out, but Azi Dahaka’s retreat bothers me...”

Sairaorg frowns, puzzled.

He fought Azi Dahaka, but it didn’t retreat from defeat.

I tell them, ”I took down Grendel for good. Our goddess pulled through.”

”Pretty cool, huh? Burned his soul—gone forever,” Ignis boasts, materialized.

Everyone cheers.

Yeah, Ignis’s flames erase anything.

As I explain, a white flash scatters dragons nearby.

A massive tornado engulfs more.
