Chapter 284: Protagonist city
"Rizevim, this is bad. Lune's signal disappeared. I can't detect it, she's probably already...."
In a study-like room with several bookshelves and a lit candle on the table. The leader of Hell, Dokuro looked at Rizevim who was sitting casually holding a grail with annoyance.
"There's no need to say it. Lune-kun probably died at the hands of Eiji or his girls. What a pity.... She's actually a pretty good seedling, but she doesn't seem to listen to my advice...." Rizevim did not even glance at the short skull. He looked at the Sephiroth Graal, one of the original thirteen Longinus in his hand with a thoughtful expression.
He had long ago obtained this thing from a young Dhampir who hailed from the Tepes Faction and it was actually two out of three pieces. Unlike the other Longinus, the Sephiroth Graal was split into three parts.
Rizevim monopolized two pieces and he had previously used it to revive extinct evil dragons.
Unfortunately his grand plan was thwarted by Eiji's group and the Alliance. Now he was wondering what he should do with this thing? He wants to make the world more chaotic...
Although his evil spirit troops were very good, according to the latest reports from his own people, Eiji and his girls seemed to have a way to defeat those monsters.
After learning this, the Son of Lucifer knew he had to rack his brains again to strengthen his group.
"That's it? Rizevim, you'd better make good on what you promised our group. Unlike you, other devils aside, I lost two of my elite subordinates!"
Dokuro was angry and sad, after all, after Haqua's departure caused by his own orders, Gira and Lune were the two best people in his group. Thanks to Rizevim, even though the man knew the man named Eiji Seiya was very scary, he still sent his own people to provoke a dragon.
"Ah about unsealing the old Hell. Dokuro-kun, Don't worry, the researchers on my side almost managed to do it. Besides, the creature named Weiss will be a good addition to our forces."
"...Is that so?" Dokuro asked skeptically.
Rizevim smiled slightly, "There are other groups affiliated with Qlippoth. They're all magicians who I've told to help the researchers about the seal made by the six goddesses you're referring to."
"If it doesn't work, we can also hunt down the six goddesses. With the power of our organization, it should be easy."
Dokuro thought what Rizevim said made sense. Unlike before, Vintage had joined forces with Qlippoth. They had failed to hunt down the goddesses in the past, but now?
If there was no problem, their next operation should be a success.
... He didn't know he had just raised the flag.
...
However, even without that, the morning after Eiji returned to the main dimension.
He took some of his girls off from school and went to Maijima. More precisely Maijima City which was about 700 km away from the border of Kuoh City.
It was a town where the protagonist of The World God Only Knows and most of the characters from the franchise lived. According to Haqua, compared to other cities, before the appearance of the evil spirits— it was the city with the highest concentration of loose souls/kaketama.
Eiji wasn't surprised, after all it was the city where the protagonist lived. Protagonists are trouble magnets, it's no wonder that the city they live in happens to be the center of all trouble.
The same thing happened to him, Issei, Rito and Basara.
"Eiji, this town is nice... On the way, I didn't see any old buildings or anything like that." The Idol girl who happened to have a day off from work said. Her purplish-black hair looked shiny under the sunlight.
Her starlit eyes too, they looked even more sparkling than before.
If it wasn't for the magic that made people ignore her appearance, many passers-by would have recognized that she was the most popular Idol in Japan — Ai Hoshino!
"Now that you say it.... All the buildings we passed are indeed in good shape." Eiji said.
They came here using the family car, a Pajero Sport with slight modifications by Lala and him that allowed it to open the spatial tunnel. The car was able to shorten the 700 km distance in just a few seconds before running normally after arriving in this city.
Leaving the car in the parking lot building, they walked and took in the sights of the city.
Maijima City did not have many skyscrapers like Kuoh City and even Kyoto — instead, they saw many residential complexes here.
Of course there were tall buildings, but there weren't many of them.
"About that, this city is actually a new city built on a small island. It's only natural that the buildings still look good." Haqua who had something to do with this plot naturally followed.
And true, this city actually stands on a small island. If the car was normal, Eiji and the others had to cross a long bridge to cross the ocean.
"How long has it been?" Asked Sona, even she seemed to have just heard about this town. Heiress Sitri was interested in increasing her knowledge with things she didn't know yet.
Rias and the other girls who came along on this trip such as Ai, Lavinia, Asia, and Lala also looked at Haqua curiously.
Haqua tried to remember something with a finger on her lips and said, "This city was officially established for about 20 years and has a population of about 80,000 people."
"I see. Compared to other cities, this city is indeed relatively new..." Sona said.
Kuoh City itself had a longer history than that. Before she and Rias took over, the city was originally under the care of a pureblood devil named Cleria Belial who had a certain incident and had been around for more than 50 years.
Rias who looked at the surrounding buildings had sparkling eyes, the trees lining the streets and the shops.... As a young lady Gremory who aspires to live between the Underworld and Japan.
She liked many things about Japan. And this small town actually smelled like the countryside.
"This is the first time I've seen a town that looks like a village!"
"Rias, don't say that out loud." Eiji pinched the cheek of the crimson-haired girl. This sexy girl could be adorable sometimes, but her mouth was a bit loose.
[Didn't you see the stares of those people? They might be offended by what you said.]
"Ah... No, I didn't mean to mock. I actually like it..."
His eyes looked at those people indifferently.
"Ah~? The surprise attack failed, what a pity. The devil girl of the Gremory family seems to be as strong as rumored."
Licking her lips with a sadistic smile, a woman stood in the air with hundreds of purple-robed people behind her.
Her short hair was decorated with many ribbons. Unlike the others, she was wearing a purple Gothic lolita dress.
Behind her, there was also a cross-shaped purple flame that was larger than her body.
[Rias: This woman is showing off.]
[Sona: Alright Rias, I don't think it's time to make a big deal out of this.]
"You...." Lavinia seemed to recognize who the woman was and narrowed her eyes.
"Lavinia, do you know her?" Eiji asked. He had no idea who the woman was although he knew the purple flames emanating from her looked like a certain Longinus. Whoever she was, she was definitely from the DxD franchise.
He didn't recognize her because she was a minor character.
"Eiji, that woman is one of the leaders of the Hexennacht and also the holder of one of the Longinus, Incinerate Anthem— Walburga."
As Lavinia said that, the woman in question could hear her and giggled.
"Lavinia, it's been a long time and you still remember me? To be remembered by the number one magician of Grauzauberer, you make me a little embarrassed~"
Walburga sounded like a carefree woman, but none of them thought she was a kind and shy person from the sadistic smile on her face.
"That's right, my name is Walburga, one of the Grauzauberer leaders. I didn't expect you all to come to this town... What are you looking for? Do you want to disrupt our plans?"
"..." Lavinia and the girls were silent. It wasn't that they were afraid of the number of magicians Walburga had brought or the woman herself.
They wondered who would want to go ahead and finish these people off first?
Walburga narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on Rias and the others, especially on Eiji. Since she knew Rias, she also knew Eiji. At least from the rumors that were circulating even though his hair color was different, there was no mistaking it, it was definitely him.
Even so, she was confident with this many magician troops and the Incinerate Anthem that could burn dirty creatures like devils more effectively with its holy fire.
She said, "I knew it~ Since you want to disrupt our plans, then...die."
Unlike before, this time Walburga herself attacked. All the magician behind her retreated because at this moment— enormous purple flames exploded from the woman's body.
The flames created a purple tornado that soared into the sky.
The surrounding buildings were destroyed and turned into ashes.
The Incinerate Anthem is considered one of the Holy Relics, along with the True Longinus (Holy Spear), Graal Sephiroth (Holy Grail), Alphecca Tyrant (Holy Nails) and the Shroud of Turin.It is the "Holy Cross" on which Christ was crucified.
So this level of fire is definitely no ordinary fire. It is a fire that contains immense holy power within it.
Devils like Rias, Sona, and even Haqua felt a little uncomfortable with the fire coming from the Incinerate Anthem. The first two were much better off because their strength had already surpassed Maou. But Haqua? Her face was pale and luckily Asia tapped 'Touch of Rekos' on the ground and the holy power that didn't hurt the devils, instead increased the resilience of their holy power, enveloping Haqua and the other two devils.
The three girls thanked Asia, especially Haqua, she looked at the blonde girl as if she was an angel.
"It's just a small matter. No need to thank me."
Asia smiled, she glanced at Eiji and wondered what he would do?
Eiji patted Ai's shoulder, the girl looked at him in confusion.
"Wait a minute."
He said that not to the idol girl, but to Walburga who threw a tornado of purple flames at them. He knew it was too late, but it didn't matter.
Eiji stretched out his index finger, the tip of his finger glowing with golden-white light.... The particles of light gathered as if with the same color as the setting sun.
Solar Shot.
*!!!*
Walburga and the hundreds of magician were dumbfounded. Why?
It was because the tornado of fire created by the Incinerate Anthem that reached 100 meters high was pierced by the beam released from Eiji's fingertips.
Such a large tornado was instantly dispersed and the black clouds covering the city sky were also blown away for hundreds of meters.
According to the weather forecast, it was originally going to rain, but now it was the opposite.
