On the other side.

The stage and the surrounding buildings have collapsed, and many people have already fled the area. However, four people were still there.

Zekka, Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite were still fighting Fernyiges and his dozens of clones. Zekka stood there, panting, clutching the two swords in her hands tightly. Her right hand held Tensei, while her left hand gripped Yamato. All around her, Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite were in the same condition, their bodies exhausted and covered in dust.

"Damn it... There are too many of them, and each one is strong enough!" Lilebette cursed as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; she prepared to fire a blue, laser-shaped beam from one of her eyes even though her energy was depleted.

Avi tried to block the attacks from several of Fernyiges’ clones and dodge their strikes. She barely had a chance to speak, "Fernyiges is using Reginleif’s Longinus and hiding among his clones. We have to attack the real one, then separate him from Reginleif’s body!"

"Easy to say, but how!?" Schwertleite cast several support spells, but her offensive magic itself wasn’t very powerful.

Two clones were engulfed by her magical explosion, but they blocked it using a barrier made of salt.

Fernyiges, who had possessed Reginleif, laughed heartily along with his clones. "You think you can expel me from this woman’s body? She’s fused with me! And with the power of her Longinus, you’ll have a hard time finding my true self, kikiki!"

Lilebette and Schwertleite wore grim expressions.

The clones Fernyiges created were utterly repulsive.

Avi’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly glanced at one of them. "Zekka! Only your sword can separate them!"

A few days ago, Zekka had told them about the abilities of her new sword, Yamato. With that sword’s ability, Zekka was even able to separate Lilebette’s human and dragon sides.

She should be able to do the same to Reginleif and Fernyiges.

"That... Sorry, I’ve actually been trying this for a while now, but I’m having trouble concentrating and I keep missing my target!"

Zekka was talking about Fernyiges’ clones.

She could cut them down easily with Yamato, but Fernyiges could also create new clones on the spot.

"...." Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite.

What else could they do?

In the original work, Issei suddenly descended from the sky and became their greatest reinforcement. He easily separated Reginleif from Fernyiges using his Dress Break. Fernyiges’ chains of bondage vanished instantly.

But in this life?

Issei has become a ghost!

He’s also no longer the protagonist of Highschool DxD.

The real protagonist, Eiji, was still busy striking a deal with Charlemagne, making her blush in the middle of their conversation.

The gods and goddesses around them were also still bound by Fernyiges’ chains. Freya is just as busy; she’s protecting the women on the street from the chains targeting them, while simultaneously dodging the many chains targeting her at the same time.

Still, was it just her imagination, or were there far more chains targeting her!?

Freya didn’t know that it was because Fernyiges liked her large breasts; he desperately wanted to make her his doll.

"Niten Ichi-ryu, Dan-Zai no Ken!"

Zekka shouted the name of her dimensional-cutting technique. The sword in her right hand, Yamato, glowed with a blue light.

As the protagonist, her luck began to rise; her current target was the real Fernyiges.

Zekka darted forward, intending to slash through the space around Reginleif to isolate Fernyiges’s soul. However, her movement was immediately blocked by a swarm of salt clones.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

Zekka was forced to parry a barrage of attacks from four salt clones at once. Every time she managed to shatter one clone into a pile of salt with Tensei, another clone would immediately regenerate thanks to the energy supply from Fernyiges.

She tried to swing Yamato to slash through the dimensional rift in order to separate Fernyiges from a distance, but her focus kept wavering. The pressure from the dozen or so salt clones that kept surging forward left her without even a second to fully concentrate on Yamato’s power.

Every time Zekka tried to lock onto Reginleif’s position, Fernyiges cleverly switched places among his clones, causing Yamato’s spatial slashes to cut through empty air or destroy his decoys.

This drained a great deal of Zekka’s energy.

She was on the verge of coughing up blood.

"Kikiki! Keep fighting, Big-Breasted Swordsman! You’ll never be able to touch me without destroying this woman’s body!" Fernyiges laughed wickedly as dozens of his clones once again surrounded Zekka, Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite.

In the midst of that desperate situation...

The sky above Yggdrasil was suddenly split by a flash of deep, blood-red light. An overwhelmingly oppressive aura swept across the entire battlefield, making the already heavy atmosphere even more tense.

*BOOM!*

A devastating burst of energy struck right in the middle of the encirclement. Zekka, Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite’s eyes widened as they watched an elegant woman with fiery crimson hair descend from the sky.

She was very beautiful, her butt was super curvy, and her red dress accentuated her sensual curves. But more than that, everyone’s gaze was immediately drawn to her large breasts.

"O-Oppai!"

"Such beautiful breasts!"

Zekka and Fernyiges shouted in unison.

Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite shot the two of them a blank look. But it was only for a moment; they shifted their gaze to the woman who had just descended from the sky.

They recognized her.

It was Rias Gremory, one of Eiji’s women and their senior!

"Sorry, my cute juniors, I’m a little late. You’ve all done a good job. Let me handle the rest." Rias spoke in a calm yet authoritative tone befitting a senior.

Fernyiges, who was inside Reginleif’s body, growled. "Who are you?! Judging by your aura, you seem to be a devil from a certain clan. Don’t interfere unless..."

The evil dragon suddenly let out a lecherous laugh, "Unless you’re ready to become my doll. No, you must become part of my collection! Your breasts are too beautiful!"

Rias didn’t change her expression, but she stared at Fernyiges and his dozens of clones with a cold gaze.

"Who am I? You don’t need to know. And my breasts belong only to my fiancé, Eiji. So no, I’ll just choose to defeat you."

"Defeat me? Kikiki! How arrogant! Woman, I’ll make you regret this!"

Under the anxious gazes of Zekka and the three other women, Fernyiges immediately ordered all of his clones to attack Rias at the same time.

However, Rias merely gave a faint smile. She raised her right hand, unleashing her Power of Destruction until a very intense crimson light radiated around her body.

Her beautiful crimson hair fluttered, and the rocks and debris around her were lifted into the air as if affected by a shift in the surrounding gravity.

The scene reminded Eiji of a scene from the first opening of Highschool DxD.

However, this move was clearly many times more powerful than the original.

"Vanish." Rias whispered.

*BOOM!*

A crimson wave of energy shot out in a spiral, sweeping clean the entire area. Every time the crimson energy touched a Fernyiges clone, the clones didn’t just shatter into particles—they instantly vanished into atomic ash, leaving absolutely no chance for regeneration. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of clones that had been plaguing Zekka and the others were gone without a trace.

"Na-Nani?! My clones were wiped out instantly?!" Fernyiges panicked.

The dragon briefly moved Reginleif’s body to retreat, and Rias immediately knew that he was the real one. Her figure shot forward at a terrifying speed; she relied solely on sheer physical strength to move that fast.

With a single slender finger, she formed a micro-magic seal. With incredibly precise and terrifying magical control, she released thin crimson tendrils of energy that instantly immobilized Reginleif’s body without harming her.

"!!!"

Zekka, Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite saw the fear on Fernyiges’ face. They were stunned before realizing just how amazing Rias-senpai was!

In two moves, she instantly turned the tide of battle and cornered that depraved evil dragon.

"Shhh... Don’t make a noise. This won’t hurt that woman, but you might be in a lot of pain."

Rias placed a finger to her lips, her smile was very beautiful yet radiated a hint of cruelty.

Her power of destruction seeped into Reginleif’s body, specifically targeting and incinerating the other entity within her. Using her energy control, she managed to forcibly separate the soul of the evil dragon Fernyiges from Reginleif’s body.

"AKHHH! IT HURTS! DAMN YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!" Fernyiges screamed hysterically as his soul was ripped out of Reginleif’s back. Reginleif, now free, immediately slumped limply to the ground and was swiftly caught by Schwertleite.

Fernyiges, now in the form of a pitch-black dragon spirit, trembled in fear upon seeing Rias. Realizing he was no match for the woman standing before him, he chose to flee to save his own life.

"Just wait! It’s not over yet!" Fernyiges panicked before flying off into the sky like a loser.

He reentered the Dragon Gate, which was wide open in the sky. At the same time, the swirling black clouds began to subside. The giant chains that had been raining down and locking down Goddess Freya’s territory were slowly pulled back upward, disappearing completely into the tightly sealed gate or portal.

Rias could, of course, have prevented Fernyiges from escaping, but a few seconds ago, Eiji suddenly used telepathy to tell all his women there not to immediately eliminate the source of the problem.

He seemed to have other plans for Fernyiges.

"Reginleif! Hey, snap out of it!" Schwertleite called out her childhood friend’s name anxiously.

Avi immediately knelt beside them, placing her hand on Reginleif’s wrist. "Her pulse is stable; she seems to have just fainted from extreme exhaustion."

What she said made sense.

After all, they’d seen how Fernyiges had overused Reginleif’s body and her Longinus.

Hearing that, Schwertleite let out a sigh of relief and immediately sat down on the scorched ground. "Thank goodness... We would’ve really been in trouble just now if Senpai hadn’t come."

She looked at Rias with gratitude.

Avi and Lilebette did the same, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

Zekka stepped closer to Rias. She bowed respectfully and said, "Rias-senpai! Thank you so much for your help. If you hadn’t arrived just in time, we don’t know what would have happened to Reginleif and all of us."

"Senpai, thank you so much!"

"Rias-senpai, you’re so strong!"

"Gremory-san, I’m grateful to you, too! Thank you for helping us save Reginleif."

Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite also thanked the woman standing before them.

Rias smiled gracefully, folding her hands beneath her ample chest. The intimidating aura that had radiated from her earlier had now dissipated, replaced by the warmth of a senior.

"There’s no need to be so formal, Zekka and all of you. You’ve fought very well and held out this far against an evil dragon as powerful as Fernyiges. I’m proud of you all."

"Actually, it was Eiji who asked me to come to your location because you were having trouble."

She wasn’t lying about that.

Otherwise, just like Lala and some of the other women, Rias would still be busy helping the people being chased by Fernyiges’ chains at another location.

Zekka, Avi, Lilebette, and Schwertleite once again felt that Eiji was very kind and considerate toward them! Their positive feelings toward him went up a few points.

Their faces felt hot; they blushed as they imagined certain things.

Seeing that, Rias shook her head slightly.

Eiji, you’re such a sinful man!

You’ve even won over Zekka and her friends’ hearts.

What about Reginleif?

Don’t tell me you planned all this to woo her too?

"Ahem!" Rias pretended to cough, then turned to look at Avi. "All of you, follow me to the inn you’ve rented not far from here. Bring that woman with you, too. Asia can use her Twilight Healing to make her feel better."

As Eiji’s fiancée and a good senior, it was her duty to look after her juniors.

"All right, Gremory-san. We’ll take Reginleif there right away." Schwertleite replied, carrying Reginleif on her back.

She felt grateful once again to Rias—and even to Eiji.

Led by Rias, who was escorting them, they walked toward an inn.

...

Back to the past.

That was the moment when Eiji offered his help to Charlemagne.

"Instead of being my enemy, why not ask for my help? Of course, there’s a condition."

Hearing this, Charlemagne was instantly stunned. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Her heart was pounding; she was truly tempted by the words of the man standing before her. Bringing the God of the Bible back to life was her greatest dream.

It was her lifelong ambition.

And the reason why she currently leads the Hero Faction.

She hesitated for a moment and tried to spot a lie on Eiji’s face. But his good looks, and his figure—which looked very dashing in his humanoid dragon form—only made her heart race even faster.

’W-What’s happening to me?’

Charlemagne had never dated any man; she was clearly a virgin.

Eiji knew this, which was why he was being kind and gentle with her now.

Charlemagne looked away from the man’s face in front of her; she thought he wasn’t just bragging.

"You... are you serious about what you said?!" Charlemagne asked in a slightly trembling voice, trying to maintain her pride as the leader of the Hero Faction. "Don’t toy with me, Eiji Seiya! If you really can bring the God of the Bible back to life... what conditions do you want?"

However, she asked curiously about the conditions.

Eiji almost laughed. The Great Emperor, Charlemagne, nearly fell. He stared at her figure, which was soaking wet but still very beautiful. Since her armor was severely damaged, much of her skin was clearly visible; she was practically naked.

Many men would be aroused by the sight before him, and he was no exception.

"My condition is..."

Charlemagne noticed Eiji’s intense gaze and felt nervous. There was a reason she often wore a cloak to hide her appearance—it was because she felt uncomfortable with the way people looked at her body.

Just like Eiji, they often stared at her as if they wanted to devour her. But unlike them, strangely enough, she didn’t hate Eiji’s gaze.

She was even a little pleased and proud!

"The conditions are simple." Eiji said.

He was still floating in the air, but he leaned down and pinched the chin of the woman in front of him. He forced her to look directly into his eyes, which now had blue dragon pupils.

A distinct blush spread across Charlemagne’s pale cheeks; she waited patiently to hear what he would say next.

"I want you to be my woman. Join my harem, and be a good wife."

[Leme: Fuhehehe.]

[Miss System: I knew you’d say that, host.]

Eiji ignored the other two women, his focus entirely on Charlemagne’s beautiful face.

Hearing such a blunt demand, Charlemagne’s face immediately flushed all the way to her ears. A mixture of embarrassment, surprise, and anger churned within her heart. She felt humiliated to be romantically desired by the man who had just defeated her on the battlefield.

But deep down, there was also a sense of happiness.

No, no, no!

Charlemagne wondered if she was going crazy!?

"Y-You... You pervert and shameless!" Charlemagne said as she tried to turn her face away, but her chin was pinched. She felt embarrassed and wore a look of indignation.

Even so, she didn’t withdraw her Another Longinus. For the sake of her grand dream, and for the sake of reviving the God of the Bible...

Should she agree?

Eiji chuckled, "You’re not wrong. I am indeed a pervert and shameless. So, what’s your answer, Charlemagne?"

He reassured the woman with saying, "For the sake of reviving the God of the Bible, humanity’s last hope... Don’t tell me you’re hesitating to sacrifice yourself? All you have to do is become my woman and be faithful to me; I won’t even treat you badly as long as you don’t do anything wrong."

"I, I...!"

Charlemagne stammered; Eiji’s words had nearly shattered her psychological defenses.

Her pride would not allow her to be belittled any longer by the man in front of her.

She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. "Fine... I’ll go along with your perverted wishes."

Jie jie jie!

Eiji found playing the role of a villain really fun. That’s strange—he’s clearly the protagonist.

[You’re a protagonist?]

"Miss System, don’t doubt your host’s identity."

Charlemagne continued in a resigned yet firm tone, "I won’t refuse to be your woman and remain loyal to you... as long as you truly keep your promise to bring the God of the Bible back to life!"

Eiji smiled contentedly and caressed Charlemagne’s beautiful face with one hand. "Of course, that’s easy for me. But don’t forget, you’re the one who needs me. So, who should fulfill their promise first?"

"...."

Charlemagne bit her lip.

This man—why is he picking on her? He clearly already had plenty of women in his harem who were just as beautiful as she was.

But...!

He still wanted her body.

"That’s me... I’ll keep my promise first."

"You have to satisfy me, too. Otherwise, it’ll all be for nothing."

"You...!"

Charlemagne thought Eiji was so shameless.

"Well, I’ll stop teasing you. First of all, stop calling me by my full name. Call me by my first name, or you can also call me—"

"Eiji. I’ll call you Eiji."

Charlemagne didn’t let the man finish his sentence. She felt that the man must have wanted to make her call him in an embarrassing way.

Her guess was right; Eiji actually wanted her to call him "husband."

"Good. Second..."

Eiji used his telekinetic powers to make Charlemagne’s body float, and she fell into his embrace. He carried her princess-style.

Charlemagne gasped, and her heart began racing again. For a moment, she wanted to resist. But she knew she could now only surrender and obey all of Eiji’s desires.

Even if he wanted to do lewd things with her.

"Let’s get out of here first. I’ll take you to a nice place to have some fun... just the two of us."

"...!"

That night, Charlemagne knew she was going to lose her virginity. Eiji had no intention of delaying doing that sort of thing with her.

Leme laughed lewdly as she hurried to prepare some popcorn.
