==========

Sister Griselda.

Before the Three Factions Alliance was formed, she was a fierce warrior who slaughtered countless "enemies of humanity" such as devils, fallen angels, and evil spirits. Her strength was so renowned that it was even rumored in Heaven and the Church. And she's the only person Xenovia can't stand up to... or rather, probably dislikes. But when I observed her from a distance, I realized she had a personality that made even me feel like she was in my difficult category.

I want to go to Heaven first, but she is an obstacle to going to Heaven. That's why I was planning to make my move seriously once I could get her under my control.

"Are you... the man who defeated Kuroka?"

There's someone here.

A handsome man with silver hair and a black jacket is standing in front of me. No, I know who it is. This is that guy, Vali.

But I know his ability: he halves the opponent's power and takes that power into his own hands. Any excess is discharged, which is a convenient power. But with that power, he can't defeat me. I'll just stop time quickly---

"White Dragon Emperor Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!!"

"An opening armor already!!"

But it's too late. If there's even a moment's gap, I can easily stop time!

"Hmph!"

"Ugh!?"

Before I knew it, I was punched in the face and sent flying. By what? By Vali. Did he punch me before I could stop time? So, I couldn't stop time just now?

And he attacked me in broad daylight. What if someone saw him, seriously.

"Tch... You're too fast..."

"It seems I dealt a good amount of damage with just a normal punch... And I should have felt some resistance. Why are your wounds healed? I'm sure I broke at least two or three of your teeth. ...I see, so you possess overwhelming regenerative power... But you're weak... Ah, I understand, Albion, I know I can't release the armor right now."

...? Who was he talking to just now? Is he talking to the dragon inside him?

Albion... that's the name of his dragon.

I try to get up, but he's keeping me in check, making it difficult to move. If I move right, he moves right, and if I move left, he moves left. If I move carelessly, my head will probably explode like a pomegranate. Damn it... And from what I just overheard, it seems he's in trouble if he takes off his armor right now. ...Could it be that only my time-stopping ability has been exposed?

"...Assuming that's true..."

...I deliberately release the time stop. He doesn't seem to have noticed particularly, but the fact that he immediately takes a stance suggests he's aware.

He somehow sensed my time stop and put on his armor. For some reason, time stop doesn't work while he's wearing the armor. It's just a guess, but... this level of caution...

"You... do you have the ability to move even when time is stopped?"

"...Albion, it's because you keep talking too much. My specifications seem to be exposed."

Ah, it seems I was right after all. It's obvious that there's some trick with the armor, but... I wonder if my controller isn't working, or if it's just the time stop that's not working... It's probably the latter.

If it were the former, he probably would have finished me off with a single blow while I was surprised... But this guy, of all things, punched me with restraint. That means he probably thought I had "some kind of counter-skill to my abilities." If the controller really didn't work, it wouldn't have been strange for him to just punch me to death from the start.

But this guy punched me assuming I would stop time. But now time is moving, what does that mean? It's broad daylight now. If a loud noise is made, gawkers and the police will come immediately. In that case, it will be a problem for his associates, Hyoudou. If he's plagued by problems and becomes deficient in training or something, this rival will probably regret it for some incomprehensible reason... It's just a pain.

Simply put, this guy thinks his rival will become weaker! It's a mysterious theory, but!

"...So? I only know about you from rumors, so I don't really understand, but I've heard you're an extreme battle junkie... a combat fanatic. Someone who prioritizes fighting over his comrades."

By the way, I'll avoid bringing up Kuroka from the beginning. If he brings it up himself, that's another story. Or rather, who told him about Kuroka? I thought most of the people I remembered were under my control... No, the Occult Research Club was there. But it's unthinkable that they would leave him to handle it all alone.

So who...? Wait, weren't there two other men in his party? What happened to them!?

"...Well, indeed, it may be unavoidable to be thought of that way... But do you really think that, Bikou?"

"---Heh heh, it's sad that I'm not even in your sights."

I haven't even fought enough to count on one hand, but my sudden danger detection ability (so-called intuition) worked, and I barely managed to avoid the spot. A staff was swung down forcefully right where my face had been, creating a crack in the ground. Wow, what a terrifyingly powerful staff.

"You say it's sad, but you look happy about it... Still, to avoid it right before, even though you hadn't seen Bikou's transformation. In a sense, are you a genius at avoiding things?"

"Hey, hey, Vali, that's sarcasm no matter how you take it."

Bikou... I remember now. He was Vali's comrade that Rias explained (angrily, for some reason). I completely forgot his name. Was he a descendant of Sun Wukong? So that's the Ruyi Jingu Bang... It's famous, but if I think about it carefully, he has a weapon with almost infinite reach... Still, the fact that he's here too means the last person must be hiding somewhere...

"Hmph... It seems you know about us, Bikou. 'That person' asked me to look for him, but it's certain that information on our side has been leaked unexpectedly. There are probably cooperators as well. It's best to crush this man as soon as possible."

Oh no, at this rate, I'll be reduced to ashes... It can't be helped. If time stop doesn't work, I can only fly with a magic circle... I always keep emergency transfer spell tags in my shoe sole, and I can activate them just by flowing magic power into them. This was a surprise attack... Next time I fight, I'll exploit their weaknesses and defeat them---

"...Huh?"

"What's wrong? Is it so strange that you can't escape even though you tried to?"

...Could it be a barrier! Am I trapped in a barrier, so I can't fly!? And when did these guys put up a barrier!? I didn't notice at all!?

...I see, the one missing person is in charge of controlling this. It makes sense if that's why they're not showing themselves. And since it's inside a barrier, the crowd avoidance is probably perfect... So, there's no problem deploying armor. If I'm unlucky, they could kill me without anyone noticing, no matter what I do... I've been had, but... depending on the scale of the barrier, there's a high possibility that Rias and the others will come to my rescue. Just trapping me is meaningless, they have to dispose of me without being seen or heard by anyone. That would inevitably make the barrier larger (unless there's a barrier with the effect of not letting anything inside be heard or seen).

That's why, if the barrier is large, Rias and the others will come to check things out if they think something is strange. Then Hyoudou will come along too, and as long as they arrive, I can play the victim and hide in the Occult Research Club's shadow... and then they'll be the bad guys.

"Just so you know, Rias Gremory and the others won't come. I made sure of it."

...I see, but it's probably the existence commanding these guys that's pulling strings... But to say they won't come just based on that is a bit short-sighted, isn't it?

"They wouldn't just not come just because they were warned. Those guys... especially Issei Hyoudou, I know very well that he's a hot-blooded guy with a strong sense of justice. But no matter what you say, no matter what your superiors say, they will act according to their own sense of justice. No matter how strong the authority, if there's someone serious when everyone else around them is acting strange, then the strange one is the serious one. Someone who brandishes their sense of justice will surely come here... to protect me, their enemy."

Vali closes his mouth at my words. Did he take my words as nonsense, or did he have no words to retort to a logical argument...? I can't really tell that far, but it seems he listened.

"....And, I'm always communicating with someone, so if the communication gets cut off mid-conversation, they might sniff out the last communicated location and come here, you know? Well, whether they make it in time is just luck."

By the way, communicating with someone is a complete fabrication, a lie. But ever since the Gremory incident, Kuroka and Le Fay have been keeping an eye on me in case something happens. If I suddenly disappear, especially in the middle of a city, they'll surely find it suspicious. Then they'll definitely bring someone who's free.

...Come to think of it, it's a weekday, so isn't it only Benne's group who can come around here? What time is it now...? I'm not wearing a watch.

"Hmm... Hey, Vali, what percentage of what this guy is saying do you think is true?"

"Even if it's all true... there would be no problem if we just erase him here and now... To leave not even a single piece of flesh, we'll have to erase him with complete annihilation, not just magic power."

Oh no, I'm really going to be killed soon... Since I'm inside a barrier, even revival might be in danger... It can't be helped, I'll use my last resort. I can't win against these guys, and there's no other choice but to use the only remaining strategy.

"...Run!"

"I won't let you escape! 'Grow, Ruyi Jingu Bang!'"

"Ugh!!"

I bolt, get shoved in the back, and fall flat on my face. I feel like I saw a perfect three-panel comic. This is no time to be saying that!!

"Good, Bikou, I'm counting on you for a bit. 'I, who awaken---'"

Ah, he started chanting something. What was it again? Was it a technique only allowed to the two Heavenly Dragons...? That's even worse! I remember that technique halves your body volume at an incredible speed and then makes you disappear in the end!!

"E-emergency evade!!"

"Gah!?"

In a flash, I use a magic circle to dive underground. They probably think I've moved somewhere inside the barrier via the magic circle. But too bad for them. I'm currently... "inside the ground."

Hey, don't say I stole a phrase from some game. It's a feat only possible for the immortal, so forgive me. I can't move though.

"...What? Did you let him escape, Bikou?"

"I can't help it! I heard he's bad with magic power, so I didn't think he'd suddenly fly somewhere inside the barrier!"

"Most likely, he's inside a private house or somewhere nearby. I hear Michael will handle the repairs, so you can just destroy and search within a recoverable range."

"So destroying is a given, huh?"

They're having a very dangerous conversation, but it's good that they seem to have misunderstood. No one would normally think I'm inside the ground, as it's normal to suffocate or, at worst, be crushed to death.

...Alright, have they left yet? I feel like the footsteps are getting further away... Well, even if they're moving away, there's a restriction that I can only exit from where I entered, so I have to be very careful.

"Phew... I managed to get out. But how am I supposed to defeat him...?"

Come to think of it... he could see me even without his armor deployed. It happened so suddenly that I completely forgot about that. How did he see me? I don't intend to release it, so perhaps Bikou also... He's a monkey, and considering he's a descendant of Sun Wukong, he must have some other way of seeing. Kuroka and Koneko also seemed to be able to perceive me using senjutsu.

Come to think of it, Sirzechs also tried to perceive me by spreading his magical aura. considering that a barrier was cast without me knowing, could it be that they were perceiving my form with magic power? I also don't understand how they could hear my voice when I couldn't hear them.

Magic power is different from air, so perhaps it was in a state where it could be perceived as sound? Well, as a hypothesis, that's about it.

"Next, how to defeat him."

The monkey seems to be no problem. Time stop works on him, and at worst, I can manage him with the controller, so it's fine to ignore him. The problem is Vali.

He can move even when time is stopped for some reason, and it's painful since my controller's size will probably be halved. At worst, I might even be annihilated.

I can't seem to win... in a head-on fight.

But assuming I would regenerate even if halved, he tried to use that technique. His Sacred Gear supposedly contains the souls of past White Dragon Emperors, and by overpowering them, he awakened to a powerful ability... And I heard they all like butts. It makes no sense.

Come to think of it, he changed the chant because he strengthened an existing technique... and so did Hyoudou.

Originally, it was probably... the spell that became the embodiment of destruction based on the grudges of the souls within the Sacred Gear...

"'I, who awaken, am the Two Heavenly Dragons, whose everything has been stolen by the laws of supremacy.

I envy the infinite, and yearn for the illusory.

I, who master the hegemon's path of the white dragon,

shall invite thee to the ultimate innocence.' ...This isn't that horrifying, is it?"

By the way, for some reason, Ravel made me memorize it. I raped her until she fainted out of spite.

Anyway, this spell... if I can somehow summon back the grudges of the souls still inside ... no, I'll just create even greater grudges myself... Alright, I'll go with this plan.

It's a very dangerous gamble, but I'll manage.

"Vali... I'm not going to kill you, but this is your end...!"
