His brows knit, a flash of surprise crossing his face. "What the—hey, don't just go!"
At the moment when the Vanishing dragon's hand was closing in front of my nose----.
Zaaa!
Two swords were thrust towards Vanishing Dragon's neck.
Kiba and Xenovia were the ones who appeared in that instant. They were holding their Holy-demonic sword and the holy sword Durandal towards the Vanishing dragon.
I didn't feel their presence at all. With the Knight's God like speed they came running to me who was in trouble?
Holy demonic sword, Holy sword, together they were emitting an intense aura. Both of their eyes are pointed, to the point of being scary.
"I don't know what you plan to do but don't you think your joke went too far?"
"I can't let you start your rival showdown with the Sekiryuutei here, Hakuryuukou."
Kiba and Xenovia as well speak in voices that worked on DOS.
However, without moving even a bit, he....
"It's better if you stopped that. ----Aren't your hands shaking."
Like the vanishing dragon said, Kiba and Xenovia's hands were shaking. The swords which could be called tremendous, while grasping the holy demonic sword and holy sword tightly, their expressions were stiffening.
"It's fine to boast. Not knowing the difference between your opponent's strengths is strong evidence. ----Between me and you there is a decisive difference in power. You who couldn't win against the likes of Kokabiel without a holy sword and Balance Breaker...." He said, but I interrupted him mid-sentence.
"It's okay, Kiba and Xenovia. I can handle him." I said.
I want to ask if he also used a balance breaker, but knowing Vali, he probably did that to make his entry. In the fandom, he is said to have an 8th-grade syndrome.
But looking back, what Vali said is correct: Kokabiel was an opponent I didn't know if I could have won against even if I went into Boosted Gear scale mail mode.
"Hyoudou Issei, what rank do you think your strength is in this world?"
Suddenly he asks me... Strength? Mine? I don't know. I don't know the actual strength of myself. There's also the fact that I myself am way too inexperienced.
"Counting from the top in your condition of the incomplete balance breaker, it would be a 4-digit number---- between 1000 and 1500. No, for you it should be a bit higher?"
I kept on dubiously thinking about the opponent whose real motive I didn't know. What does he want to say?
"There are a lot of strong people in this world. Even the Crimson Satan, Sirzechs Lucifer won't fit in the top ten."
Yeah, I know. Vanishing Dragon raises one finger.
"However, the first place is decided. ----It's a fixed existence."
I just continue to listen. Because I know the answer to that.
He shrugs his shoulders.
"You'll know it anyhow. However, it's not me. ----Hyoudou Issei, you're a valuable existence. It's better if he's raised well, Rias Gremory."
Vanishing dragon looks in the direction behind me. Following his gaze, Rias was standing.
Ooh, she has a seriously displeased expression. Around Rias, there were Asia, Akeno, and Koneko-chan as well. Correspondingly, Asia was troubled, and in contrast, Akeno and Koneko-chan looked ready to fight.
"Hakuryuukou, what's the meaning of this? If you're having ties with the fallen angels then more contact than required is-----"
" ----'The Two Heavenly Dragons', the dragons called that way. Welsh Dragon and Vanishing Dragon. In the past, those related didn't live a satisfactory life. ----How will you end up?"
"-----"
Upon that guy's words Rias's words were stopped.
"I didn't come here to fight today. I just wanted to see the school I visited last time. I came to Japan while escorting Azazel, but I was bored. I won't fight the Welsh dragon here, not to mention----- I have a lot of work to do."
After saying that, the Vanishing Dragon turns his heels, and starts to leave this place.
Even though that guy leaves, a single thread of nervousness doesn't go away. Kiba and Xenovia sheathed their swords but there was no relief to their expression.
Asia, who came and nestled next to me, without any words, grasps my hands. Was she scared?
