Chapter 435
This interest even surpassed that of war.
"What have you been researching?"
Luo Mio stroked her chin and said.
"I recently came up with an 'Automatic Cooking Mode,' and now I'm thinking about whether I should develop an 'Automatic Drink Making' mode."
Upon hearing this, Azazel's eyes widened in surprise.
Meanwhile, everyone else looked on incredulously.
Azazel burst into laughter and said.
"I never expected to hear such outrageous and shocking news."
——
At the same time that Luo Mio entered the meeting room.
At home Hidamaru and Ophis were happily playing on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.
Suddenly, Hidamaru and Ophis's expressions changed simultaneously, and they both looked out the window.
Hidamaru's expression turned slightly serious, and then he spoke to Ophis.
"Ophis, hide inside."
After saying that, he waved his hand and used the erosion technique to create a temporary Pocket Dimension around Ophis.
Looking at Hidamaru, Ophis asked in confusion.
"And what about you?"
A slight smile appeared on Hidamaru's lips.
"Of course, it's to cooperate with the other party in their act."
Then, the fox ears and Barton on Hidamaru's head disappeared instantly, and her bright blue, lively, and clear eyes seemed to transform into the ordinary and unremarkable appearance of an ordinary person.
She picked up the game console and pretended to be an ordinary human girl.
In the very next second.
A spell descended from the sky, and a beam of white light instantly struck Hidamaru.
As the white light slowly disappeared, there was a picture of Hidamaru lying on the sofa, seemingly unconscious.
Then, several figures suddenly appeared in the room.
If Issei were to see these figures, he would probably be excited on the spot.
After all, they were all tall, sexy older women dressed in eerie mage robes, like magicians.
When they saw Hidamaru 'unconscious' on the sofa, the corners of their mouths curled up.
"What a pitiful person, a mere mortal yet connected to someone who claims to possess two kinds of 'Longinus'."
"I feel both lucky and very sad."
Upon hearing this, Hidamaru rolled her eyes inwardly.
"Take her away."
One of the female magicians said.
"According to intelligence, this little girl holds a very important position in Karen Kasalana's life."
"I see. No wonder they sent us to capture this little girl first."
Looking at the unconscious Hidamaru.
"If we capture this little girl, we can force her to work for us at a crucial moment."
"However... the opponent is a human with two 'Longinus'."
"So what? We're all protected by the 'Serpent,' and that lord's power has already surpassed that of gods and demon kings."
"Why would we fear mere 'Longinus'? We are now comparable to High-class Devil."
"That's true."
Then one of the female magicians raised her hands and slowly lifted Hidamaru's body into the air.
Meanwhile, Ophis, hidden in Pocket Dimension, saw the magic they were performing and sensed a very familiar aura from their spells.
"Snake"... her aura.
Seeing Hidamaru being moved away, Ophis, who was about to take action, stopped in his tracks.
Because she remembered what Luo Mio had told her.
Then she saw a note left on the spot where Hidamaru had just lain down.
After Ophis emerged from the Pocket Dimension, he picked up the note.
It says this on it.
'Game, grind! (? o? o)??'"
Chapter 41: Terrorist Attack!
"I thought my research and development of artifacts and artificial artifacts was crazy enough, but I never expected there would be someone even crazier than me."
When Azazel heard that Luo Mio had developed and researched many models of the "Constraint Oath of Judah," he couldn't help but laugh.
Even Sirzechs, who was standing to the side, showed a surprised expression.
After all, he had personally experienced the power of the "Constraint Cross of Oath of Judah".
Then Azazel looked at Sirzechs and Michael and grinned.
"In that case, let's conclude a peace agreement."
Peace talks are agreements where all three parties work together to pursue peace.
If the current balance of power among the three forces continues, it will only harm the world and affect the survival of the Three Great Powers.
But at that moment, a very subtle and distorted feeling instantly enveloped the entire barrier.
Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
—It felt as if my consciousness and body had been instantly frozen.
"Huh?"
The next second, Issei realized what was happening.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly changed.
The surrounding space and time created a very subtle feeling, and when Issei looked at it.
The leaders of the Three Great Powers — Sirzechs, Serafall, Michael, and Azazel— had stood up and looked out the window.
"You're recovering pretty quickly."
Just then, Luo Mio's voice came from beside her.
Upon hearing Issei, Ichisei glanced around and then his eyes widened in surprise.
"This is..."
All that could be seen was a dim color appearing on the body outlines of Asia, Akeno, the president, and Tsubaki Shinra, as if their bodies and consciousness had been frozen.
Upon seeing this familiar scene, a look of disbelief appeared in Issei's eyes.
"Could this be...?"
"Issei."
Just then, Rias's voice came from beside Issei.
When Issei looked over, he saw Rias standing next to the words, while Kiba and Xenovia held the Holy-Demonic Sword and Durandal in their hands.
Furthermore, Durandal's sword exuded a strong holy aura, while the Holy-Demonic Sword emitted an eerie blue aura.
Even Irina, who was standing next to Michael, was holding the Holy Sword.
Furthermore, Issei unconsciously summoned the "Boosted Gear" on Issei left hand.
Luo Mio looked out the window as she explained to Issei.
"Kiba was unharmed because he had reached the level of forbidden techniques and possessed the unique bug that allowed him to have the Holy-Demonic Sword."
"It's because of the Holy Sword Durandal and the Ecalibur Mimic Xenovia and Irina are involved."
"But you and Vali were able to neutralize this cessation because of the powerful Dragon Power within your bodies."
"This force is ineffective against the highest-ranking Sirzechs and Azazel."
After hearing Luo Mio's explanation, Issei also asked.
"And what about you...?"
When Luo Mio heard Issei's question, she replied calmly.
"The instant this force appeared, my 'Constraint Oath of Judah' deflected and neutralized it."
Before he could finish speaking, a snapping sound rang out.
Asia, who had been frozen in place, seemed to break free from the stillness and regain her body and consciousness.
"Huh?"
Asia, who had recovered, looked around in confusion.
"What happened..."
Looking at Asia, Issei was also very surprised.
As if sensing something, Asia took out the dark gold cross that Luo Mio had given her.
The original cross was now slowly disappearing like dust.
Seeing this, Issei realized that the cross given by Luo Mio had helped Asia break the stop.
But what exactly happened...?
Just as Issei was wondering, Azazel, who had been looking out the window, spoke up.
"Terrorist attack."
"!"
"Let's look outside."
Upon hearing Azazel's words, Issei also looked out the window.
A barrage of flashes, like magic bullets, hurtled towards their new school building, but they didn't penetrate because of the defensive shields outside the windows.
In the sky above the playground, there were countless figures and huge golden Magic Circle above their heads.
It was as if the barrier was being used in reverse, transformed into a teleportation portal, with figures constantly emerging from the Magic Circle.
Furthermore, all these figures, regardless of age or gender, were dressed in long black robes, with a very obvious three-eye pattern on the hood of the robes.
"They are..."
The president of the company explained from the side.
"That's a magician."
"The legendary magician Merlin Ambrose created magic by uniquely interpreting and reconstructing our demonic magic system."
"The power of the magic they unleash is comparable to that of a mid-level demon."
"So, given the current situation..."
Azazel stroked his chin and said.
"I guess they used some kind of artifact or magic that can transfer power to force that half-vampire into a forbidden state. Although it's only temporary, the fact that it can affect people inside buildings within his line of sight shows that the kid's potential is beyond my imagination."
"Gaspar?!"
And it wasn't just the few people inside the room; the armies of Fallen Angel, angels, and demons outside were also brought to a halt.
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio glanced thoughtfully at the faintly shimmering Stigmata mark of the 'Oath of Judah' on the back of her hand.
