The Hero Faction executives would be handled by Hwaryeong and Sera, and as for the remaining grunts...
"Nya... Is this all you amount to, nyan? You're so weak I'm yawning, nyan."
"Kuh... This damn cat Youkai...!"
"Using words that are too strong only makes you look weak, nyan. Like you right now."
Fwoosh──!
Wrapping Black Fire Wheels around her limbs, Noir moved through the battlefield as nimbly as a cat, scattering unavoidable cursed flames upon the grunts.
Only black ash and screams remained in her wake.
"How dare you set your dirty feet into the territory of the one I serve?"
Wendy had already reverted to her massive Eastern dragon form and unleashed her power.
Whooooooosh───!
"Aaaaaaaah───!"
"Impossibl───!"
As she used her ability, a massive storm raged.
Countless blades of wind swept through, tearing numerous magicians and Sacred Gear users to shreds.
"The price for invading a dragon's territory must be paid with your life. There is no mercy."
Witnessing the overwhelming scene Wendy just displayed, many enemies lost their will to fight and began to flee.
"Shall I chase them, Lord Eden?"
"Let them go. There's no need to shed unnecessary blood. They're just a swarm of flies that will scatter on their own once the ringleaders are dealt with."
Aside from them, Ravel and Sairaorg were also utilizing their abilities to the fullest to sweep away the enemies.
Ravel's Phoenix flames burned away the enemies' magic, and Sairaorg's Touki crushed every defense with his solid fists.
Then now...
"Are you the only one left?"
My gaze turned to the last remaining Longinus user, Walburga.
"Hehehet! So my opponent is the Chaos Dragon~! I'm honored?"
The Witch, Walburga.
The owner of the Cross of the Purple Flame, also known as the Holy Cross (Incinerate Anthem).
"But even I know that I can't beat the Chaos Dragon, you know? So, I'll have to go with this from the start!"
"Balance Break!"
Purple flames burst from her body as the Balance Breaker initiated.
"Incinerate Antiphon Calvario! (Judgment of the Incinerating Flames by the Final Inquisitor)"
Look at that ridiculously long name.
The purple flames gathered to form a massive shape.
A snake with eight heads... No, in this worldview, that counts as a dragon too.
Yamata no Orochi.
A monster appearing in Japanese mythology.
In DxD, it's a dangerous entity classified as an Evil Dragon, but she created this form based on the Cross's ability to suspend souls, making it like an independent avatar type.
[ROAAAAAAAARRRR───!]
As Yamata no Orochi, made of purple fire, roared, the atmosphere vibrated.
"How is it? My Balance Breaker~? It's enough to play around with for a bit, right?"
"Certainly, if it were the me of the past, I would have praised it as an incredible ability. But to the me of now, it's nothing but a parlor trick."
I lightly fired a breath toward Walburga.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM────!!
"Block it, Orochi!"
Seeing the Breath of Chaos flying toward her, Walburga immediately ordered Yamata no Orochi.
However, no matter if it's an Evil Dragon, unless it's Azi Dahaka or Apophis who are close to Heavenly Dragons, or Crom Cruach who surpassed Heavenly Dragons, there's no way it can withstand my breath head-on.
[KRRRRROAAAAAA──!]
With a scream, Yamata no Orochi's body made of purple flames faded and vanished.
"Oh my god... Orochi in one hit!?"
"If you intended to face me, you should have brought at least one of the strongest Evil Dragons. Of course, two out of those three can't even be revived without my Grail."
"Ugh... Take thiiiiis!"
Feeling the crisis, Walburga began to indiscriminately bombard me with purple flames and various magic.
In the original story, these flames were powerful enough to incapacitate Sairaorg without even using Balance Breaker, but that was because the Holy Cross possesses properties fatal to Devils.
I am not a Devil.
In short—
"It just tickles."
"Y-You monster...!"
"Coming from you, that's a compliment."
"Tsk, this looks hopeless...!"
Walburga immediately prepared to teleport to flee from me.
But as if I would just watch that happen.
"Orochi...! Stop him somehow until I escape!"
[GRAAAAAAA───!]
Summoned once again, Yamata no Orochi threw its body to stop me.
"Where does a beaten dog get the nerve to bark again?"
KABOOOOOOOM───!
I used Worthlessness to erase the creature, approached Walburga who was trying to teleport, and devoured her right then and there.
Crunch──! Snap─!
And just like that, Walburga became a meal for me.
As soon as Walburga died, I forcibly grabbed the Holy Cross that tried to leave her body.
Whether it disliked being grabbed by force or just disliked me in general, the Cross struggled violently, but so what?
I want it, so there's no way it can stop me.
Like that, I forcibly grafted the Holy Cross into my soul.
"Kuh...!"
The Grail and the Cross. As I held two Holy Relics in my body, a strange resonance occurred within me.
A sensation as if a part of the System constructed by the God of the Bible was flowing into me.
I immediately shifted my gaze to where Hwaryeong and Sera were fighting.
Over there lies the final Holy Relic, the Holy Spear.
If I obtain even that......
