Volume 9 Chapter 520 - Dragon Eater

While Cao Cao was busy explaining things to Issei, Le Fay was able to layout the magic circle she needed in this situation. After completing it, Fenrir immediately stepped on it and disappeared. He was replaced by a young man with blue eyes and dark-silver hair, Vali, "Good work, Le Fay."

Vali then faced Cao Cao with a smirk, "It's been a while since we met face-to-face, Cao Cao."

Cao Cao turned to him and returned the smirk, "Vali. This is a shocking summoning."

Le Fay began to draw a circle in the air with her rod and said, "I have called Vali-sama here through switching his location with Fenrir-chan."

Vali then continued, "I made Fenrir fight the other Hero-faction group members with Bikou and the others in my place. I had predicted that Cao Cao would be coming here. So I made sure I had insurance. Now, let's finish things between us. But coming here only with Georg. Such a bold hero."

"Rather than being bold, I thought that it would be enough with just me and Georg.", replied Cao Cao.

"Looks like you are confident Cao Cao. Does it mean that you have the so-called 'Dragon-Eater' as your trump card? I'm guessing, is it a Sacred-Gear possessor who specializes in Dragon-slaying or a new Longinus possessor?"

Cao Cao shook his head to the sides hearing Vali's words, "No. That's not it Vali. [Dragon-Eater] is the codename we gave to a being that already existed. We didn't create it. It was already created. The 'God from the Bible' created that being."

Hearing that, the youth wearing a robe, Georg, spoke, "Is it alright Cao Cao?"

"Yeah, it's about time Georg. Vali is here. Ophis is here. Sekiryuutei is here. The infinite Dragon-God and the Two Heavenly-Dragons. A combination where we couldn't ask for more. Let's call it. The time for opening the jar from hell has come."

"Roger that. So the time to devour the 'infinite' has come then."

An intense vibration shook the entire hotel! A very ominous aura was emitted from the magic circle.

A cold air that gave chills to both Issei and Vali spread out. An intense pressure which they had never felt before came from the magic circle, and a feeling like they are a frog being stared at by a snake covered the two Dragons.

[This presence is?! An overwhelmingly evil intent only directed at Dragons!] A trembling voice came from Ddraig. Issei became confused as to what being could possibly scare one of the Heavenly Dragons who were the embodiment of bravery.

A few seconds later, a gigantic being on a giant black cross emerged from the magic circle. An upper body of a Fallen Angel and a lower body of an Asian Dragon. In both hands, tail and all over its body, there were countless nails driven through. The orifices on his face were covered with black bindings with glowing runes on them.

"GUOOOO!!!" A creepy voice came out from his covered mouth and his eyes started tearing up with blood. Pain, jealousy, suffering and resentment. A sound that was mixed with all kinds of negative emotions. You could tell that it was a being that was judged by someone who harbored great anger towards it. There was black aura and mist coming out of the fallen-angel dragon that was spreading throughout the lobby.

Azazel's eyes changed when he saw the restrained being. "T-this guy! To bring such a thing! So you released the seal of Cocytus!", muttered Azazel in rage.

Cao Cao took a step forward and started to speak as if he was reading a poem. "—It says that it is the poison of God. It says it is the evil intention of God. A forbidden being that made the people in Eden eat the fruit of knowledge. The first crime that was judged by the dead God from the Bible and still continues to be in effect. 'Dragon-Eater' Samael. The angel that received the curse of God who hated dragons and snakes. A dragon. Yes. A dragon whose existence was eliminated from the record."

Everyone except for Issei got an idea who Samael was. Confused as he was, he asked Azazel, "Sensei, What is that? Even I know that it's dangerous just by looking at it."

"Do you know the story of Adam and Eve?"

"Y-Yeah. I at least know about that."

Azazel then began to explain.

"The one who turned into a snake and made Adam and Eve eat the fruit of knowledge is that. That action brought the fury of the 'God from the Bible'. So God started to hate snakes and dragons to the extreme."

"That's the reason why dragons are depicted as evil in many of the texts from the Church. He is a being that was made of the evil intentions of God, because of God's hate, a being who received many kinds of poisons and curses on his body."

"Naturally, it is impossible for God, who is sacred, to have evil intentions. That's why it has intense poison. Not only can it extinguish dragons but it can affect other things besides dragons, so it was sealed in the depths of Cocytus. The curse it received from God is the ultimate dragon-slayer. That alone makes him an existence that is a brutal dragon-slayer!"

Azazel then yelled in anger, "What is the Olympian God who is in charge of the World of the dead thinking?!!!! P-Perhaps…!"

Cao Cao nodded and confirmed his suspicions, "Yes. We negotiated with Hades-dono. I was allowed to summon him while having many layers of restrictions on it."

"…That bastard! He didn't like the fact that some Olympian Gods were going to cooperate with other factions!" Azazel spat out with hatred.

Cao Cao then pointed his spear at everyone, "So it's like that Azazel-dono, Vali and Sekiryuutei. The curse he has will devour and kill dragons. He can kill dragons for certain. It's not on the same level as the dragon-slayer holy-swords. You can't even compare them. Ascalon is like a toothpick compared to him, Hyoudou Issei."

"What are you planning to do by using it!? Are you trying to annihilate dragons!?…No. You guys are trying… Ophis…?" Azazel was shocked when he finally understood Cao Cao's idea.

Smirking at him, Cao Cao snapped his fingers and the binding on Samael's mouth was undone, revealing a row of uneven but sharp teeth. "Devour her.", commanded Cao Cao as he pointed to Ophis.

Opening his mouth, something passed through beyond everyone's perception and when they looked back, Ophis was no more and was replaced by a dirty black block. "W-what?", muttered Issei.

A split second later, tentacles of the same color emerged from the block and it went towards Samael's open mouth before he started making sounds akin to swallowing something. Samael ate Ophis.

"Hey! Ophis! Answer me!", shouted Issei to the block, but he received no response.

Seeing that, Yuuto immediately made his move and manifested his Holy-Demonic Sword to cut the block. But when his sword touched the block, his sword was erased.

Vali then immediately used one of his strongest attacks, Half Dimension, to destroy the block, but even that did nothing to it.

Next was Rias, Akeno, and Irina who simultaneously cast attack spells towards it, however, the results were the same. It didn't do anything.

Issei wanted to turn into his True Queen form to attack the block, but Azazel stopped him as the result may be the same and it may even negatively affect him, "Ise! Don't take it on! He's your ultimate natural enemy! He can't be compared to Vali! That dragon must have the power to kill dragons easily! I mean, the situation is already bad since even Ophis can't get out of it! The enemy is a dragon, but don't use Ascalon! We don't know what will happen against the ultimate dragon-slayer!"

It was then that Xenovia made her move and sent Holy Light towards Samael himself. However, Cao Cao already saw through her intentions and hit it to the side with his spear, "You made a good attack from the start again, Xenovia of the Durandal. But there's no second time."

"I thought that I attacked with good timing… Is my first strike with Durandal so easy to read?", asked Xenovia.

"I also think that you had good timing. But since you attacked first with Durandal at Kyoto, it's natural that they would be on alert. Cao Cao did stop it easily. But you sure like to give a hello attack don't you, Xenovia? I won't say any more than this!", answered Issei.

Vali turned into his Balance Breaker while saying, "So my opponent is Samael. On top of that are two high-tier Longinus possessors. I have no complaints." At his cue, everyone also got ready for a full-blown battle.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "With you guys as my opponents, it will be dangerous if I don't become serious. After all, Hades only allowed us to use Samael once. Our plan will fail if we don't decide here. Georg! I will leave the control of Samael to you. I will take care of these guys."

"Can you take two Heavenly Dragons, the Governor of Fallen-Angels, and the Gremory team by yourself?", asked George while he controlled Samael.

"I will make it happen. If I can't do something as simple as this, then I basically have no right to hold this spear."

Cao Cao's spear then shined in bright light!

"---Balance Breaker."

After saying that, something in Cao Cao's body changed! A ring of light that gave out even more intense light appeared behind him and 7 bowling ball-sized balls floating up in the air appeared. It was a silent Balance Breaker. The change was so minimal that his spear is practically the same.

Cao Cao took a step forward. At the same time, the 7 orbs around him moved as well, "This is my 'True Longinus's Balance Breaker, [Polar Night Longinus Chakravartine]. Though it's still incomplete."

After looking at Cao Cao, Azazel shouted, "A sub-species! The Balance Breaker that the previous 'True Longinus' possessors used until now were [True-Longinus Götterdämmerung]! From the name of it, are you implying that you are the ideal ruler!? Damn it! Even I don't know what those 7 orbs are!"

"I actually want to call myself the ideal ruler of heaven. That sounds cooler right?"

Vali landed beside Issei and said, "Be careful. His Balance-Breaker's ability is called 'Seven Treasures' and has 7 Sacred Gear abilities. So there are abilities for each orb."

While they were still shocked after learning about Cao Cao's unreasonable Balance Breaker, he made the first move, "One of the Seven-Treasures. Cakka Ratana." One of the orbs then disappeared and suddenly, the Ex-Durandal in Xenovia's hand broke.

"M-my Ex-Durandal!"

"That's the first one. Cakka Ratana's ability is being able to destroy weapons. The only ones who can oppose this ability are those who are quite strong.", explained Cao Cao as he continued to step forward.
