Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 13 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 15===
「Coral……, what the hell you are trying to do in that kind of place? Don’t tell me, you ain’t trying to betray us again right?」

Hayes who assaulted from the sky was stopped by Aeril.

Below that──the Seven Dragon Paladins of Vanheim Principality, Greifer was battling the Ragnarok Metatron.

The huge spherically shaped Ragnarok that possessed absolute defensive ability of attack reflection.

Greifer dodged the heat rays that were fired from its countless eyes while being forced into one-sided defensive battle.

「──Iii, IiIIIIIIiII!」

Originally he should be able to fight against it equally using the compatibility of Cuelebre’s Divine Raiment, the absolute invincible state──Photon Dive, but right now due to the Lunatic Call that Listelka activated, the Ragnarok entered a state of rampage and its destructive power was drastically increased.

「……Chih! Even though it’s already tiresome with just this thing, this is out of my league yeah!」

The Seven Dragon Paladins who were rescued by the Triad had their Wedge released by Aeril along with Lux, but because there was no time, they separated with almost no explanation.

Thus Greifer still didn’t understand Aeril’s true motivation.

Lux said 『She isn’t an enemy』 about Aeril, but──.

「Chih!」

Greifer clicked his tongue while charging toward Metatron.

He covered himself with Photon Dive while ignoring the enemy’s attack reflection and dealt consecutive attacks on it. That was his strategy.

But, he couldn’t break through the defense of the strengthened Ragnarok and he was repelled when the invincibility state ran out of time.

He was lacking in destructive power of one hit certain kill to destroy the hard and also meaty Ragnarok.

「──That’s not it. It seems the two Lords above are starting to fight among themselves. As I thought my estimate was correct.」

「What? What do you mean?」

Singlen’s voice that came from slight distance away caused Greifer to send a glance there and replied back.

Because of his ability of invincibility using the Divine Raiment Photon Dive, he somehow had the leeway to talk while he was focusing in defense.

On the other hand, Singlen was battling against a rampaging Ragnarok──Deus ex Machina with him at advantage, but as expected, because the enemy possessed the ability to teleport object through space, it looked like he was unable to deal the finishing blow.

「I mean that ruined prince, he succeeded in cajoling the second imperial princess. I was unable to win over that man, but in the end this is the ideal flow. After all I planned to have that guy to act as 『hero』 anyway.」

Singlen who was clad with deep blue Drag-Ride──Leviathan grinned fearlessly while sending slashing attack using water current.

「You mean──for making government system by Drag-Knight that you told us in the past? That’s being too much of a poor loser ain’t it? It’s strange even if you say that in this kind of time.」

Because Metatron was temporarily taking distance at that timing, Greifer pointed that out.

In the past Singlen talked about managing the scramble for technologies and legacies from Ruins by replacing the government of each country with new ruling structure by Drag-Knight.

In the end everyone there didn’t understand whether Singlen was really serious or not.

But, there was no doubt that Singlen saw through that Lux would play an important role in the fight ahead and he persistently tried to make Lux enter under his command.

(……But, in the end vice captain-sama’s true objective is still unclear.)

Greifer faced Metatron once more with a dubious face.

There was no more leeway to have his attention diverted by Singlen.

He barely defended against the heat rays that were fired consecutively from the eyeballs and aimed for a ray of hope to recover from this hopeless situation.

「You will understand soon. Why did I set him up as hero, and what will happen at the end of it. Well, that’s only if you can survive until then though.」

「Hah! That’s one awful encouragement there. Then──just watch me.」

Greifer’s Cuelebre that didn’t possess focused attack power to break through one point only had one method to defeat that Ragnarok. It would be a dangerous bet that could also be taken as suicidal resolve, but there was no prospect of victory other than that.

「Reckless challenge is my principle yeah, vice captain-sama. Don’t expect me to die with just a pinch of this level.」

Coral was at his side as the aide of Vanheim Principality’s Seven Dragon Paladins.

Right now he put aside even his emotion toward her──the second imperial princess Aeril of the Lord.

「It’s really simple. Just who is gonna die while letting you bastards did as you please to us huh. That’s why, don’t you dare die, Coral.」

Greifer spoke over his shoulder with a careless tone and then he faced the Ragnarok once more.

He leaped once more into the storm of heat rays.
