Chapter 128: Chapter 128: White Dragon Emperor Appear, I'll Fight You!
Just as Kokabiel was being gripped by the giant Hand of Earth:
"Whoosh—!"
From the distant horizon, a radiant meteor streaked across the sky, splitting the heavy clouds in two as it left a trail of light. Carrying multiple afterimages, it arrived above the church.
Upon reaching the sky above, there was a mechanical clicking sound, and the meteor suddenly began to descend.
"Buzz—!"
From its arrival to its descent took less than a second—almost instantaneous. The meteor crashed into the giant Hand of Earth holding Kokabiel.
"Clang!"
As the two collided, a resounding noise like clashing metal echoed. Below, Rias and Akeno's ears were filled with a roaring sound. They quickly crouched down, covering their ears in pain.
"What the!!!" An astonished voice sounded above them.
Flushed, Rias struggled to look up. The figure within the meteor was reflected in her sapphire eyes, and her pupils constricted sharply.
"That's!!!"
Emerging from the meteor was a person clad in pure white armor, embedded with blue jewels all over. Even the face was covered by the armor. A pair of azure light wings extended from the back.
Akeno barely opened one eye. The gentle smile usually on her face faded, replaced by a serious expression. She whispered, "Those white light wings... I see, it's the White Dragon Emperor!"
After the collision, the armored man was half-embedded in the giant Hand of Earth, stuck in mid-air and unable to move.
"Hey, hey, hey! This is too much—I couldn't break this hand!" A male voice came from within the armor above.
"No choice then..." a helpless voice responded.
The blue jewels on the pure white armor began to flicker erratically. A deep voice suddenly resonated:
"Divide!"
The originally thirty-meter-wide Hand of Earth paused and instantly shrank by half, leaving only fifteen meters.
"Divide! Divide! Divide!"
In mere moments, the Hand of Earth was reduced multiple times until it vanished without a trace.
Wrapped in ten fallen angel wings, Kokabiel's head emerged from the remnants of the Hand of Earth. He plummeted from mid-air, crashing into the ground with a loud bang.
The armored man lightly flapped his white light wings, turned around, and gazed at the spatial rift in mid-air. Reflected in his eyes was Haru, who sat with legs crossed, watching him with an intrigued expression.
Then, a deep voice emanated from the jewels on the armor.
"I know you're there, Ddraig."
A crimson glow emerged from Haru's hand. A fierce red gauntlet materialized on his left arm—the Boosted Gear of the Red Dragon Emperor.
The green jewel on the gauntlet flickered slightly, and a heavy voice echoed:
"Long time no see, Albion!"
At this moment, Rias and the others took advantage of the conversation between the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor to quickly move forward and rescue Sona, Irina, and Xenovia from the crosses. They then looked solemnly at the scene unfolding in the sky.
Akeno's gentle smile returned but was tinged with deep concern. She sighed softly, "A meeting between the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor... things are getting more serious."
Sona's pale face was grave. She reached out with difficulty to adjust her glasses and said in a deep voice, "Rias, if a fight breaks out, leave me and run. A battle between the Red and White Dragons is no joke."
Rias's expression changed slightly. She quickly lifted Sona into her arms and said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense. If we run, we run together. Akeno, Koneko! Be ready to retreat at any moment."
Ignoring Xenovia's protests of "Don't touch me, devil!", Koneko picked her up and said expressionlessly, "Understood, President... Church member, please don't move. You're quite heavy."
"Heavy?!" Xenovia looked utterly deflated.
"My, my, it's my first time carrying a girl," Akeno teased as she gently lifted Irina.
"Thank you... but could you not make it sound so ambiguous?" Irina's face turned extremely awkward upon hearing Akeno's words.
In no time, everyone was prepared to escape. After all, there was a Fallen Angel cadre on the ground and the White Dragon Emperor in the sky.
By their estimation, even Haru might struggle against both at once, so a timely retreat was necessary.
However...
As the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor conversed, the armored man looked down at Kokabiel below and said uncertainly:
"That strike just now... did it take out Kokabiel?"
Rias, Sona, and the others immediately focused their gazes on Kokabiel, who lay on the ground.
Through his fallen angel wings, they could see Kokabiel's wide-open eyes and the spittle at his mouth—a clear sign that he had died with lingering resentment. They gasped in unison.
"Oh my... he actually took out a Fallen Angel cadre in one blow."
"The one who earlier immobilized us with just his aura couldn't withstand even a single attack from Ancestor-sama?"
"So this is the power of the Demon King Bael? Even Sister Serafall isn't this strong..."
"Heh... heh! Heh!" The armored man's body trembled with excitement.
"Amazing, simply amazing! Hey, you in red—you're Haru, right? I'm Vali, the White Dragon Emperor Vali! Let's have a fight right here. Show me the power of the Red Dragon!"
Vali emitted a massive surge of magical energy. The armor on his body began to glow with dazzling white light.
"Hey, Ddraig, I thought it was impressive that my host's surname is Lucifer, but I didn't expect you to find someone like Bael... And Vali, calm down. You're no match for the red one right now. Please, be rational," Albion urgently advised, trying to dissuade Vali.
Having participated in ancient battles, Albion knew well the terror of Bael—a monstrous Demon King who challenged the God of the Bible.
Though Vali possessed the bloodline of Lucifer and was hailed as the strongest White Dragon Emperor in history, facing the combined might of an Ancient Demon King and the Red Dragon Emperor head-on was overly ambitious.
"Lucifer? A hybrid of devil and human? Hahaha, white one, your luck is really bad!
Even if you worked hard to find such a trump card, I, without doing anything, ended up with Bael. As expected, my Red Dragon is superior," Ddraig's mocking laughter echoed from the green jewel on the gauntlet.
Albion fell silent. After a moment, it roared, "Ahhh!!! Vali, give it everything you've got! Even if you can't win, at least take a piece out of that red one!"
Vali's wings burst into motion as he shouted, "I've been waiting for you to say that! Here we go, Albion—"
Boom!!!
A figure suddenly appeared above Vali, pressing down on his head and forcing him straight toward the ground. In the blink of an eye, Vali was slammed into the earth.
Black feathers drifted gently in the sky.
A troubled voice reached everyone's ears.
A weary voice echoed in their ears. "Please, Vali… don't make me bury you…"
