"Let me introduce her," Roy said with a smile. "This is Le Fay Pendragon—Arthur Pendragon's sister from the Vali Team."

"She's transferring to Kuoh Academy—and will be staying with us for a while."

The girls welcomed Le Fay warmly.

"Le Fay—come with me. I'll show you to your room," Saya and Asia offered, leading her away.

Roy sipped his tea leisurely in the hall while the girls discussed Cao Cao's return.

Suddenly, Roy chuckled.

"They're here."

He then transported the entire town of Kuoh into the subspace.

It still looked the same, but now, no matter how destructive the battle, the outside world wouldn't be affected.

Rias and the others realized that Cao Cao had arrived.

They went outside the castle.

"Cao Cao, come out. There's no need to hide," Roy called out.

As if on cue, Cao Cao and his group emerged from the shadows.

There were quite a few of them: Cao Cao, Georg, Heracles, Siegfried, Jeanne, and hundreds of other members of the Chaos Brigade.

"We meet again—Roy Lucifuge," Cao Cao sneered. "You've given us a grand welcome. It seems you don't intend to let us leave this time."

"You should have expected this when you came here," Roy retorted, his arms crossed. "I can't believe you had the audacity to return after I spared you last time."

"Yes, I said I wouldn't show my face before you until I was stronger," Cao Cao replied calmly.

"Oh? So you think you're stronger than me now?" Roy scoffed.

Cao Cao clenched his fists. "—Yes, I will defeat you this time."

"With your current meager strength? Or perhaps with the help of Hades, God of Hell?" Roy taunted.

Hades, who had been hiding in the shadows, scowled. He had underestimated Roy.

He hadn't even noticed when they were transported into the subspace. And now, he couldn't escape.

"Fifth Maou—I'm just here to observe. Could you please let me leave?" Hades requested.

Roy burst out laughing. "Hahaha, I didn't expect Hades—the God of the Underworld, to be such a 'Coward—'!"

"But since you're here, you might as well stay. I think it's time for the Netherworld to have a new ruler."

Hades's face paled. He regretted getting involved in this mess.

"Hades—don't forget our agreement. We have to defeat them to survive," Cao Cao said coldly, glaring at Hades.

He despised Hades's cowardly behavior.

But they were in this together now. If they couldn't defeat Roy, they would all die here.

"Damn it!" Hades cursed under his breath.

He had no choice but to fight with all his might, hoping to defeat Roy.

"Hades, Ophis is yours. Deal with her quickly and then come help me. Otherwise—none of us will leave this place alive," Cao Cao ordered, glancing at Ophis.

"No problem—" Hades cackled, looking at Ophis as if she were already his prey.

"Cao Cao, do you intend to kill me?" Ophis asked with a blank expression.

"I apologize—but I need your power to become the strongest," Cao Cao replied, feigning remorse.

He had been using Ophis all along, never showing any gratitude. And now, he shamelessly wanted to steal her power.

The girls were furious. Ophis was their precious family member.

"Roy, there's no need for you to lift a finger. I'll handle this ungrateful bastard," Tohru declared, stepping forward.

As a fellow Dragon—Tohru was fond of Ophis.

They were good friends.

"Alright, but be careful. He's not weak," Roy warned.

Even with his True Longinus, and his desperate move—Truth Idea, he was at most a Super Devil-level.

He was no match for Tohru.

"I'll take care of this guy—hehehe!" Ilulu also stepped forward eagerly, ready to pummel Hades.

Hades, seeing that it wasn't Ophis but an unfamiliar girl who approached him, sneered.

But this was understandable.

Cao Cao and Hades's intel was outdated.

They only considered Roy and Ophis to be threats.

They didn't know Roy's servants were—Powerful!

...

Cao Cao scoffed, seeing that it was a woman who stepped forward to fight him. He felt insulted.

He pointed his spear at Roy. "What's wrong—Roy? Are you afraid to fight me yourself?"

"You're not worthy of being my opponent yet—" Roy replied with a chuckle.

Cao Cao's anger flared. He unleashed his magic power, but it quickly subsided under Tohru's oppressive dragon aura.

Cao Cao felt like he was facing a primordial beast.

He realized that this girl possessed incredible power.

"Who are you?" he asked cautiously.

"Hmph! I'm Roy's maid," Tohru replied with a haughty sniff.

"Maid...?" Cao Cao was shocked.

Just a maid possessed such power?

What a joke!

But he had no choice but to fight.

<"Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin!">

Cao Cao activated a sub-species of the True Longinus's Balance Breaker.

The spear glowed, and a halo appeared behind him, with seven orbs revolving around it.

<"Female Treasure!">

One of the orbs shot towards Tohru like a beam of light.

Tohru didn't dodge and was engulfed by the orb.

"What is this?" she wondered, tapping the orb that had encased her. It looked like a fragile bubble, but it was surprisingly sturdy.

"It's useless. The 'Female Treasure' is specifically designed to trap female opponents. Once trapped, there's no escape. Neither external nor internal attacks can harm it," Cao Cao explained smugly.

This technique was indeed effective against women. Even female opponents of the same level couldn't break free.

Unfortunately for him, Tohru's power was far beyond his comprehension.

Tohru opened her mouth, gathering energy within it.

A massive energy ball formed.

She then unleashed her Dragon Breath.

The orb shattered instantly, and the energy beam continued towards Cao Cao.

"What—?!" Cao Cao exclaimed in shock, dodging just in time.

BOOM!!!

The energy beam struck the ground where he had been standing—Creating a massive explosion.

A mushroom cloud erupted—engulfing the area in a radius of several kilometers.

"Tohru-sama is amazing!" Kanna cheered, clapping her hands.

"Is he dead?"

"Maybe."

Xenovia and Irina stared at the center of the explosion.

...

Meanwhile—as Tohru battled Cao Cao, Ilulu's fight against Hades had also begun.

Without wasting any words, Ilulu transformed her hands into claws and punched Hades.

He was sent flying before he could even react.

Ilulu then appeared behind him and punched him again.

Hades was like a punching bag, unable to defend himself.

After a thorough beating, Hades's bones were practically shattered.

But Ilulu wasn't using her full strength. She was just toying with him.

So, he wasn't dead yet.

"You're a Dragon too—Aren't you?" Hades asked, getting up with difficulty. He had noticed Ilulu's claws.

He had been too busy getting pummeled to retaliate.

But Hades has the—'Dragon Eater Samael'—A powerful weapon against Dragons.

It carried a lethal curse that could even harm Ophis and Great Red.

"Hmph, use whatever tricks you have. You won't get another chance," Ilulu scoffed.

She wasn't afraid of any schemes he might have.

Roy also wanted to see this "Dragon Eater—Samael".

"Then I'll show you the power of Samael!" Hades cackled, activating his magic.

A magic circle appeared, glowing with an eerie black light.

A horrifying roar echoed from the circle—like a beast from the depths of hell.

A giant figure, crucified on a cross, emerged from the circle.

It had the upper body of a human with black wings, like a Fallen Angel.

Its lower body was that of a serpent, covered in scales.

It was a monstrous creature.

Its eyes and head were bound by chains, and its arms and wings were nailed to the cross.

It was a gruesome sight.

Asia and Claire couldn't bear to look and hid their faces in Roy's chest.

This was Samael, the Dragon Eater.

A horrifying aura emanated from him.

"Scary!" Kanna cried, clinging to Roy and trembling.

She was terrified.

This was Samael's unique aura, specifically designed to instill fear in Dragons.

Ordinary Dragons would be paralyzed with fear, unable to resist.
