Crowley looked Yuichiro, who had transformed into a Seraph, up and down. He released Shihō Kimizuki, looking quite interested.
"Oh? What is this thing?"
Luke smiled at Crowley.
"Do you want to try fighting him?"
Crowley thought about it and didn't see any harm. He drew the sword at his waist and charged forward.
"Sword, drink my blood!"
The blade stained red as Crowley thrust his sword out.
Yuichiro didn't bother defending at all. He raised asuramaru high and swung down with a slash!
Crowley's sword hadn't hit its mark yet, but he was forced to pull back and dodge. Yuichiro's slash made him feel a sense of danger.
Sure enough, even though Yuichiro's blade had already swung down, the terrifying Blade Energy showed no sign of stopping. It left a trench wherever it passed, and the ruins along its path vanished.
Seeing the damage caused by this strike, Crowley couldn't help but say,
"How impressive, Luke. Is this guy really human?"
Luke shrugged, then squinted his right eye and formed a frame with his hands, framing Yuichiro within it.
"Who knows? Maybe he's an angel."
Crowley charged at Yuichiro once again, asking with a smile,
"Eh? An angel? Do such creatures really exist? Are the humans planning to create controllable angels to subjugate us?"
"Then you'll have to test if his strength is enough to subjugate us."
"Are you just going to watch me fight? How mean!"
Luke was unrepentant despite being in the wrong.
"It's a relay race, and I'm the second runner. Good luck."
Yuichiro's current state could completely keep up with Crowley's slashes, and Crowley found himself unable to do anything against Yuichiro.
Instead, Crowley was occasionally sent flying by Yuichiro's strange black substance. Yuichiro seized the opportunity, forcing Crowley to switch from offense to defense.
This was indeed a rare battle that Crowley found interesting. At this moment, he leaped back, intending to create some distance and find another opening to attack.
But he jumped a bit too high. Before he could even start falling, Yuichiro on the ground suddenly flew straight up, following a trajectory that didn't look like a parabola at all.
"How cunning, he can even fly!"
Crowley had no leverage in the sky and was struck flying multiple times by Yuichiro in mid-air. Fortunately, Crowley managed to deflect every attack. When Crowley was kicked to the ground by Yuichiro, the entire Vampire was buried into the earth, with only a few superficial wounds emitting black mist on his body.
Yuichiro prepared to follow up on his advantage and dove down.
"Alright, tag out!"
Luke suddenly appeared before Yuichiro's eyes, holding a Magic Sword.
Yuichiro didn't care and continued his dive.
However, when Yuichiro's and Luke's weapons collided, it ended with Yuichiro being sent flying back.
Luke also landed due to the reactionary force. Crowley crawled out of the pit and spat out two pebbles.
"Pah, pah! Ah, my clothes are ruined. I actually quite liked this outfit."
Luke rolled his eyes at the frustrated Crowley.
"I'll play with him for a bit. You go deal with the Imperial Demon Army first."
Crowley flashed a sunny smile and headed toward the other battlefield.
"Alright, good luck!"
Yuichiro stabilized himself in the air, dazed for a moment before charging at Luke again.
Luke took a defensive stance, but a figure suddenly leaped up, rushing toward Yuichiro in the sky.
"Yu-chan, wake up!"
Fortunately, Luke was quick and agile, grabbing Mika's leg. He aimed in a certain direction and let go!
On the other battlefield, Guren, holding mahiru no yoru, had just killed a Vampire when he was suddenly knocked to the ground by the flying Mika. His lower back felt as if it had been hit by a missile! He temporarily lost his ability to move.
Mika stood up dizzily and saw Guren beside him. It was Mika's first time seeing Guren, so he didn't recognize him, but everyone in the Imperial Demon Army deserved to die!
He immediately swung his sword to kill him. Guren's pupils constricted, and his adrenaline surged. Ignoring the pain in his lower back, he rolled to the side. Unfortunately, while he saved his head, his chest was still slashed by Mika's sword.
After rolling, Guren collapsed and stopped moving. Although this wound was essentially a death sentence, Mika felt an inexplicable urge to go up and slash him a few more times.
Mika stepped forward, only to see several corpses of the Imperial Demon Army on the ground suddenly stand up and attack him. Mika was startled by this eerie scene and backed away repeatedly.
Ferid had been keeping an eye on Guren's movements. When Mika was about to deliver the finishing blow, Ferid was considering whether to risk exposing his plan early to save Guren. But in his eyes, Mika suddenly retreated and started slashing wildly at the air.
"An Illusion?"
Sure enough, a strong young man with blonde hair picked up Guren right under Mika's nose and ran off. Mika didn't notice at all.
Goshi Norito felt Guren's weakening breath, his expression grim.
Before long, he carried Guren behind a wall, where Jujo Mika, Sayuri Hanayori, and Yukimi Shigure were all gathered.
"Hurry, put Guren down!"
Goshi Norito nodded and laid Guren flat on the ground. Beside Guren lay another person—no, another Vampire!
Yukimi Shigure, using the concealment method of her Assassination Technique, had rescued the neglected Hiiragi Shinya amidst the chaos.
"Damn it, Guren's bleeding won't stop! Medical Spells are useless!"
Blood kept gushing out of Guren's chest.
The three women could only watch in despair as Guren stopped breathing.
But at the exact moment Guren stopped breathing, the sound of a horn echoed across the battlefield once again! Half of the dark sky suddenly turned crimson, like a sea of fire!
Guren's wounds healed before the four's disbelieving eyes, but having lost too much blood, Guren still looked pale and weak.
He still didn't die! One wondered if the ancestors of the Ichinose Family had some connections in the afterlife.
Luke, who had just torn off half of Yuichiro's wing, was also stunned as he stared at the abnormal sky.
Another horn! A second Seraph?!
"Takaya Kagami, come out! I'm reporting you for plot fraud! I haven't seen this part before!"
Yuichiro, or rather the second Seraph, tried to speak at this moment.
"Ah! Sinner... Ah!"
Luke sliced off Yuichiro's other good wing.
"Shut up! I'll let you fly! Bullying me because I can't fly!"
Luke was just that confident. He couldn't help it; the Magic Sword provided too much!
83%! Who wouldn't slap someone twice with this kind of power?
But Yuichiro's Seraph was indeed much stronger than that half-finished product. Luke touched the scar extending from his neck to his abdomen, baring his teeth in pain.
I underestimated him! I didn't expect those two wings could be used as weapons!
Yuichiro was rolling on the ground in pain. Now that Mika had seen Yuichiro's Seraph form and its strength had been gauged, it was time to turn Yuichiro back.
"Little Shushu, time to work!"
Along with the surge of Demonic Aura on asuramaru's blade, then... nothing happened. Luke frowned. What was going on? Luke grabbed asuramaru and began to communicate.
"Luke! I can't contend with the Seraph on my own!"
asuramaru didn't seem to be lying, but the first rampage shouldn't be this intense. Furthermore, there was Guren's Special Medicine. Shinoa Hiragi could wake Yuichiro up just by talking; there was no reason asuramaru couldn't suppress him. Where was the problem?
At that moment, Luke noticed the onikiri he had discarded earlier lying quietly on the ground nearby.
If one demon isn't enough, then bring another!
