Chapter 41 - Chapter Forty: The Crimson Fire Against the Mist

The fierce battle began between Ivan and the demon Dracula, who had possessed Dan's unconscious body.

Emilia: What's happening inside the barrier? Is that boy really fighting such a powerful demon?

All the members of the Ninth Division want to join Ivan to help him, but it's no use. The barrier is too strong, and no one has been able to break it.

The Emperor believes that Dracula, like the others, created the barrier. Ivan's genius has kept everyone unaware of what's happening. Only a few of the powerful Titans, led by the leader of the Holy Heroes, Arya Stark, sensed the strength of Dracula and his opponent.

Arya Stark: What's going on? Aegon is fighting someone equal to me in strength, and Dracula is fighting an unknown being with destructive power. This is truly strange! What's wrong, Tiamat? (Tiamat, the dragon of chaos and mother of dragons, sensed the destructive power of Balerion.) Did you sense a dragon?

The leaders of the Ninth Division wonder what's happening and prepare for a joint attack against the barrier. They all launch their attacks, but they are also in vain. Alice Frankenstein, Princess of the Kingdom of Kong, says: "Comrades, it's pointless. The barrier is impenetrable, and you can't see the truth."

Ryota: "The truth!"

Alice: "Don't worry, Captain of the First Division, Ryota Tsubaki. This battle might involve an unknown entity fighting against the devil, and we don't know who it is."

Yahiko: "You're right. The unknown entity's power is truly devastating. I wonder who it is?"

Yuna Yamamoto: "What kind of power does he possess? It's comparable to the Holy Heroes! And how did that devil, Dracula, escape Dan's control?"

Zora Watro: "That foolish kid! He made a pact with a devil whose power he doesn't understand, and he brought shame upon the family. Damn him!"

Hana Sato says: "Dan, you idiot! I gave you the Power Stone in which Dracula was imprisoned. I can't believe you lost control and let him out. I needed his power to search for the legendary devil, Lucifer."

The battle between Ivan and Dracula was nearing its end.

Dracula: "You're not an ordinary human at all. Who are you, really?" Ivan: Dracula, your time is up. No need for nonsense. The Art of the Two Swords, Dimensional Crossover Style (Sensen).

Ivan unleashed a devastating blow at Dracula, who activated his defensive magic with force and exclaimed, "Demon magic! Mist magic (Bildars)!"

Dracula: "What a strange feeling! It reminds me of the past, five thousand years ago." (Dracula recalls the ancient war between demons and gods and angels.)

The fight was fierce, but Ivan held the upper hand. From the start, he was poised to defeat him.

Dracula: "Damn it! Because I can't use my full power, I can't fight comfortably. This boy is truly dangerous! What is this? Why do I see that man's image in this boy's shadow?!"

Ivan: "Alright, time's up. Tsun, Moon Eye, activate level three." Ivan's eyes appeared different, more crimson than before, and the symbols of the legendary Black Dragon, the ancient destroyer Balerion, appeared. Then, the power of his fiery magic turned crimson, much to the shock of the demon Dracula.

Dracula: "I understand now! You are descended from that man. Therefore, your will lives on, Yasurin Muto!" (He shouts.)

Then, he unleashed all his magic, preparing his most powerful strike. Dracula: Here I will annihilate your lineage, Yasurin Muto. Mist Magic, Final Level, Hinosan (Death Vortex).

Ivan drew his sword and said: Crimson Fire Magic, Come, Fiery Shura (Final Tornado), Oom!

The two strikes clashed, but Ivan's magic was stronger, defeating Dracula in spectacular fashion.

Dracula saw the darkness within Ivan, but he heard a voice say to him: You're still as foolish as ever, Dracula.

Dracula: Who are you?

The legendary demon Lucifer appeared before him, to Dracula's horror and astonishment.

Dracula: What? Impossible... (He didn't finish his sentence).

Ivan had completely absorbed him along with his magic. Ivan collapsed, exhausted, then reverted to his disguised form, creating a clone and disguising it in an unknown outfit. He then destroyed the barrier.

The leaders came to witness what was happening. In a spectacular moment, the unknown clone Ivan had created passed right past them, leaving them stunned.

Ryota: Impossible! I didn't even notice him until he walked right past us. Who is this? Yahiko was helping Ivan, who had faked severe injuries to avoid suspicion.

Yahiko: Hey kid, are you alright? And who was that person?

Ivan replied: I don't know, but he got that demon from the body of the Wataro family's son.

Ryota: Dan Wataro is no longer a member of the Ninth Division, and we will investigate his case.

Hanamaya: Hey Ivan, how about you join my division?

Yahiko: Hanamaya, you bastard!

Ivan: I refuse.

The Emperor said: We will continue the competition.

Ivan said: I withdraw.

All the division members were shocked, saying: Why?

Ivan replied: My magic has run out, and I can't fight.

The final battle began between Castle and Ona Amazaki against Vitzel Rusuke and Amanya Nomizuku.

The final battle began between them amidst everyone's excitement.

Each of them began to unleash their magic and unique style, but the victory went to Castle Ko and Ona Amazaki. The spokesperson for the competition announced that the outstanding competition had concluded in a spectacular fashion.

The Emperor, in presenting the championship trophy, said: "I thank everyone for their encouragement and exceptional cooperation in making the competition a success. Now, we will have a special dinner for everyone."

The members of the Ninth Division were delighted with what Ivan had done after he made Dan pay for his arrogance.

Naofumi: "Ivan, you are truly amazing! You have left everyone in awe."

Rin Mutsu: Ivan, you've done a truly remarkable job. I commend you.

Alice Frankenstein and her sister Sophie Frankenstein, along with the two generals, headed towards the Kingdom of Kong.

Alice: Who was that person who intervened against the demon Dracula? And what a massive clash we experienced! It seems the world of Erthos is about to be shaken by new wars.

Dan Wataru awoke after what had happened, but he found himself bandaged and unable to move. Ryota Tsubaki stood before him and said, "Dan, you are expelled from the First Division and will be taken in for questioning about what happened."

Zora was upset about what had occurred and was talking to Zeref Takahashi.

Zerf: Hey, Zora, your son almost exposed our secret activities, the slave trade and other operations.

Zora: Don't worry. I received information that it's impossible to uncover us in any way. Oh, right, I remember that beautiful girl sixteen years ago who gave birth to your son, but he died. Is that right, Leo Takahashi (the current Ivan Mutsu)?

Zerf: Ever since I met that girl, and because of that damned son, I've been exposed to everyone. Zora: But you have the eldest son, I mean Kono Takahashi, the genius who possesses the magic of water and the spirit of the legendary wolf. I expect him to become a leader someday.

Kono Takahashi was training at the Special Forces headquarters, radiating his powerful aura and pondering the magical auras he sensed.

Kono Takahashi: It's strange. A holy hero is fighting a mysterious figure, while one of the strongest demons was defeated by another powerful one. The organization the Emperor spoke of has truly begun to move, and we don't know their purpose in all of this! I must become even stronger than before.

Meanwhile, Sebastian Clarke clashed with Holy Hero Aegon Toujian. The blows between them were incredibly powerful.

Aegon: Yellow Lightning Magic (Gothia Lightning)

Sebastian Clarke used a technique that stunned Aegon and said: Yellow Burning Sun Magic (Sion Burning Beam).

The attacks between them continued with tremendous force.

The excitement and suspense increased.
