Chapter 49 - Battle 2

"Looks like Vali was ignored, nya. I didn't think that they would seize the opportunity when Ulquiorra was away." Kuroka said sarcastically.

They immediately left the restaurant inside the hotel. Everyone is here including Ophis, Kuroka, and Le Fay.They saw a familiar purple mist in the surrounding area.

Xenovia looked at Issei and said, "Issei, is this perhaps?"

"Yeah Xenovia. It must be. This mist is something I can't forget even if I want to." Issei replied to her.

They arrived at a very spacious lobby. In the lobby where there's not a single trace of people, there are two men openly sitting in a nearby black sofa.

Then a fireball immediately flew out towards their direction. It's aimed at Irina and Asia. But the fireball didn't hit the two as Ophis appeared in front of them and vanished the fireball with ease.

"T-Thank you very much!" Asia thanked Ophis.

"..." Ophis didn't react to Asia's gratitude. She looked at the sofa.

A youth who is wearing a robe on top of school uniform, and a black haired youth who is wearing a chinese outfit on top of the same uniform was gazing at the group. The Chinese outfit youth is tapping his spear on his shoulder while sitting down and said.

"It has been a while Red Dragon and Governor Azazel. The last time we met was in Kyoto. I made my greetings right away. It's the return of durandal that day."

"...Cao Cao!" Issei shouted.

"So what was the reason for you making this field in another dimension and transporting us? It must be a good for nothing plan I guess?" Azazel asked.

Cao Cao ignore him and he instead look behind them. To be precise, he looked at Ophis.

"Ya Ophis. I was wondering where you went with Vali, but for you to be here. I certainly didn't anticipate that."

Kuroka stood in front of Ophis, "Nyahahaha, we are also shocked nya. I thought you'd head to where Vali is. We already are sure about your plan when Ulquiorra expose Samael in Tanga Island."

"Yeah. I didn't anticipate that and on top of that he's able to fight Samael like that. So we took a precaution and release a layer of another seal in him. We also waited for him to go away as the poison from Samael could hardly affect him." Cao Cao said to them.

"He will go back here" Kuroka smile and said to him.

"Don't try to deceive me. I know that he already went back to Human world. Even if he came back he wouldn't be able to enter this dimension forcefully." Cao Cao said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard their conversation. Cao Cao was after Ophis? And who is this Samael they were talking about?

Although a lot of people already know that Samael was released from cocytus, it's only the higher up of each faction. So it's natural that Issei and the others didn't know about Samael.

"Release it Georg" Cao Cao said.

"Roger that, the time to devour infinite has come." Georg who put on a smile made a gigantic magic circle behind him.

Zoooooo...

An intense vibration shook the entire hotel. A very ominous aura was emitted from the gigantic magic circle.

A cold air went down on everyone's spine. An intense pressure they never felt before was coming out of the magic circle. A pressure that freezes their body and soul especially to Issei. Issei felt like he wanted to run away. His instincts was alerting him.

[This presence is...! An overwhelming evil intent only directed at the dragon... ] Ddraig said with a trembling voice.

"....Samael" Azazel muttered.

Oooooooh!

A creepy voice emitted out of Samael's mouth. His entire body shook. The nails fell into the ground and it shook the restrain around his body. There was a black aura and mist coming out of its body and it was spreading throughout the surrounding.

Cao Cao stepped forward and say, "It says that it is the poison of God. It says that it is the evil intention of God. A forbidden being that made the people of Eden eat the fruit of knowledge. The first crime that was judge by the dead God from the bible and still continues to be in effect. Dragon Eater, Samael. The angel who received the cursed of god who hated the dragons and snakes. A dragon. Yes. A dragon who's existence was eliminated from the record."

"Samael was much stronger than before when Ulquiorra fought him in Tanga Island. We took the risk to remove another layer of seal in his body." Georg added.

"You're insane... You don't know what you are doing" Azazel said with a hint of anger in his voice.

...

Ulquiorra was standing in the rooftop of the Kuoh academy. Suddenly a small communication magic circle appear in his left ear.

"So they made a move now" Ulquiorra muttured while looking at the academy.

"I will intercept them tell that to Vali." Ulquiorra said before he disappear in the rooftop.
