Apologies, everyone for the chapter lateness. I have been traveling a lot recently due to relative's reason. Nothing too serious, but it has taken my time away from the book. So, that's what I wanted to say! The next chapter may suffer a bit of a delay as well. Just a heads up. Though after that everything should be back to normal.

Enjoy the latest chapter, everyone! ^.^

"Puny soldiers! Get out of the way!" a humongous man clad in heavy black army swings the sharp halberd to the side. A gallon of blood explodes to the air with the dismembered limbs of dozen of Carmilla's soldiers splattering to the blood-stained earth. "Ahahaha!" the man laughs in joy; his voice is deep and in a thick accent of Romanian.

"Oy, dickhead!" Riser blasts to the right with the flaming wings and sends a stiff right knee to the back of the enemy's neck that sends the large man screaming and barreling forward, crashing into a boulder. Discarding the wings, Riser drops on his feet and looks ahead. The man emerges from the dust, glaring at the Phenex with enrage red eyes through the helmet eyeholes. "You devil dare interrupt my fun!?" "Oh, don't worry, big guy," Riser wears the trademark Phenex's smirk and brings his hands out of the pockets, flames start forming around the arms "I'll give you such a good time that you'll turn to ashes!"

Thrusting both arms forward, Riser releases two fireballs to the man. "I, Captain Albert shall not go down by puny flames!" the Captain roars and spins the halberd in the air before swiping it forward to the incoming fireballs, combusting them in impact.

"Captain Albert!" a group of men from Albert's battalion comes from the right, rushing toward the Phenex with their weapons unsheathes. Riser turns and sees some discharging magic blasts. To counter, Riser extends his arms to the side and begins spinning around in rapid speed. Flames come to life around the arms, and soon a vortex of orange flames comes to distances.

"W-what," "Ahh-ahhh!" "S-shiittt!" all of the men gets suck into the flames and disintegrate into ashes, unable to withstand the famous fire of the Phenex. Riser burst from the side of the vortex "Take this!" he shouts and swings a right leg around to smash at the vortex, sending it speeding toward Albert.

"Meaningless!" the Captain roars and slams the head of the halberd to the ground. With a shout, he pushes it up to send a large size boulder flying forward. The vortex collides with the rock and unable to destroy the solid object. It disperses into tiny, harmless sparks.

Riser cuss and starts producing more flames. "Tell me!" Albert slams his weapon to the ground, staring hard at his opponent "Why are you partaking in this war?! It has nothing to do with you devils!" he yells out. Riser's expression softens, and a smirk makes way to his face "Because an idiot friend of mine is participating in this war" he answers. An image of Nawin flashes in the Phenex's mind. Riser's expression hardens, and the flames around his arms become fiercer, "Being honest I don't care much about this war, but I am not about to let him go into this battle alone. The rest of my comrades and I will help him succeed in this!" he shouts and blasts forward at the grinning Captain.

"Gahhh!" Issei is pushed back from troops of men discharging magic blasts in sync. The blasts impacted at the side of his body and send him sliding away. Fortunately, his jacket is made of a special material that absorbs attack created by mana. Ultimately lessening the blow. Similar to Nawin's own signature jacket.

"Fire more!" one of the men shouts, and all begin gathering mana in their hands. Issei hears the men roars and looks up to see a humongous red magic blasts coming toward him, created by all the soldiers. Issei pulls the boosted gear back and starts powering up "Boosts... Time Ten!" he exclaims and thrust the gauntlet forward "DRAGON SHOT!" an even bigger blast discharges by the Hyoudou and sends flying toward the opponent's attack.

Without hesitation, Issei's dragon shot cuts through the vampire's plain magic blasts and heads for them. A colossal explosion soon erupts that wipes the troops to dust. "Ah-ha!" Issei grins and pumps his fist in the air "Take that! Nothing can beat m-" he is interrupted by a petite body speeding from the right and collides with him, sending both smashing to the ground in a comical fashion.

"Uhhhh," Issei groans and wince "What the hell..." he slowly hits him, feeling the entire right side of his body aching. It felt like he was just hit by a boulder made of titanium. Issei looks to the side and is surprised to see Koneko sited there, staring at him blankly, barely looking injured beside from a few cuts. "Koneko?" Issei stands up and offers a hand which the Rook takes "What happened?" he asks, pulling the small girl to her feet "Found a captain, Danut" she merely answers.

Before Issei can inquire more, his expression turns sharp as well does Koneko. Both immediately split by jumping to the side. A figure comes blasting from the sky and crashes at the positioned the Pawn, and Rook stood. A cloud of dust ignites, and rocks explode to the air by the collision.

Issei sticks the landing and slides back a little before hunching forward to stop the momentum. He looks across to Koneko "Is that him?!" he shouts and gets a nod in return. "Decide to run away for backup?! I expect nothing less from a little girl!" a rugged voice exclaims inside the dust "I'm not little," Koneko mutters, irked by the comment from the Captain while Issei just chuckles at the cute annoyed expression on the Rook's face.

Thudding footsteps produce inside the dust and out walk a huge man holding a war hammer on his broad shoulders. The eight-feet tall warrior is clad with heavy and bulky black steel armor though a helmet is absent. Judging by his face, he is a middle-aged man. He holds the signature red slit eyes. Is bold and has a bushy white mustache.

"That. Is. One. Ugly. Mustache!" Issei exclaims out, pointing at the man's "Shave it a bit dude! Looks like it's about to eat your entire face!" "Ehehe," Koneko lets out a quiet giggle by the comment while their opponent looks far from amuse and set his sight at the Hyoudou, glaring furiously.

"You insolent fool!" Danut shouts and unleashes his mana. Red explosive aura implodes and sends the rocks flying away while the ground cracks. Koneko and Issei turn serious then get to their stance, eyeing closely at the opponent. The Captain swing the hammer back then unexpectedly launch it toward Issei in blazing speed. Reaching behind, he pulls down a chain and disappears in pure speed.

Issei thrust the gauntlet forward to discharge a dragon shot to the incoming weapons. "W-what?!" he shouts in shock when the blasts envelopes the hammer but don't stop it. Instead, the massive weapon cuts through the blast and heads straight to him. The hammer smash square in the Hyoudou's chest which have him vomits out air and blood before crashing to the ground with the weapon pinning him down.

"Issei!" Koneko shouts in concern and about to rush forward until a magic signature appears from behind. "Your turn, little girl!" the Captain shouts and the chain ensnarl around the Rook from above, wrapping tightly around her midsection. "Up you go!" the man yells while laughing, pulling the chain which sends Koneko to the air "AND DOWN!" Koneko gasp at the sudden tightness on her stomach before sending blasting to the ground viciously.

A noise of explosion boom and clouds of dust appears at the crash site. Danut holds a big smirk on his face and tightens the grip on the chains then pulls. "Uh?" he blinks in surprise when noticing how light it has become and merging from the smoke is nothing but a broken and shorten chains. A large silhouette suddenly appears in the brown cloud and exploding out of it is a massive boulder speeding toward the armored man.

Planting his feet firmly on the ground, the Captain roars and thrust his right arm forward to the boulder, obliterating it to smithereens with a punch. But, he is greeted with a shock when seeing Koneko heading toward him in midair, hiding behind the boulder the whole time. Extending her right feet, the Rook delivers a brutal kick square on the face that sends the man blasting away, barreling through the earth.

Koneko turns to the right and quickly rush to her comrade on the ground. "Uhhhh," Issei groans by the heavy pressure on his chest "Damn this thing is heavy... Gonna need to take a breather then p-" before he gets to finish his sentence. The hammer suddenly lifts and Issei blink, looking up to see Koneko standing on the right, casually holding the weapon that is twice her size. "Thanks," Issei smiles and slowly returns to his feet.

Issei looks to Koneko, and his eyes widen when seeing the Captain appearing behind her "KONE-" he stops when the Rook swiftly turns around while swinging the hammer forward to cleanly smash the large man at the side, sending him blasting away to the air. Issei goes flabbergasted by the scene while Koneko looks as monotone as ever, but a sense of fun shines in those golden eyes. "... I think you got this covered" Issei comments, scratching his head and chuckle "Hmm-mm," Koneko rest the hammer on her shoulder and gives a thumbs up with the other hand "Go take care of the other captain" "Hehe, alright! Good luck!" Issei exclaims, and his wings then shoot to the sky to find the other captains in the battlefield.

"Keep pushing!" a female commander of Carmilla shouts to her squad that's currently battling through a troop of Tepes soldiers. "Yeah!" the women warriors shout and in strong formation, launch forward with their spears in sync. The enemies didn't predict the sudden strike and numbers of them gets pierced through the heart, effectively killing them.

The commander spin to the right to miss an enemy rushing from the side. She swings her sword to the side to leave the man's head clean off from his torso, then throws her shield to the left to smash at another man in the face, stunning him for momentarily. "Edenson! Behind you!" the Commander shouts to her warrior. "Thanks, Commander!" the soldier quickly gets rid of the stunned man behind her by slicing his head off with a broadsword then resume marching forward.

The shield shakes then speeds back onto its wielder's hand. The commander looks to the distance to see a battalion rushing toward them, led by a man riding on a horse. "That must be a Captain..." she utters and glances behind to see the ongoing bloody battle "We need reinforcement. My squad can't take on a battalion when their Captain is present."

"Commander!" one of the fighters stop in front "We are almost done with the Tepes's troops! But, more are coming" "I know," "What is our next move?" the commander bites her lip and watches the incoming battalion '... We have to retreat, or we'll be slaughtered. The difference in number is too great, and a Captain is among them.' "We wi-" a sudden crack of lightning booms from above interrupts the commander.

All the Carmilla soldiers look to the sky to see Akeno blasting down like a comet. Her fallen angel and devil wings flap violently in the wind while lightning covers both of her arms. Her yellow eyes beam brightly, staring right at the battalion. Flapping her wings once more to give an extra boost, Akeno comes crashing right at the center of the brigade. An explosion of electric current erupts that sends dozens of fried Tepes's soldiers to the air. Their formation utterly goes to shambles.

The commander along with her warriors are left stunned by the Himejima's entrance before a big grin form on their faces. Their morale returns. The commander points her longsword forward "Charge while they are in disarray!" "Yes, ma'am!" the warriors roar and charge toward the Tepes.

"Women... Always noisy," the Captain who is unscratched by the previous attack, staring at the incoming group led by their commander. The white steel lance held on his right-hand starts glowing in Vermillion "Get rid of them in one throw..." he whispers in a soft and quiet tone while bringing the weapon up, pulling behind his shoulder, ready to throw.

The Captain shoots his right arm forward and about to release the lance until a flash of yellow comes to his view from the right. Akeno snatches the man's wrist and hover over, then throws him off the horse, successfully stopping the lance from being thrown. Akeno lands on her feet while the Captain crashes on the ground. The horse rears at the loss of its rider and quickly sprints out of the battlefield.

"Haaahh!" three soldiers come rushing to the Himejima from behind with their swords out. Lightning current cracks around Akeno before discharging in close proximity, shocking the attackers to death. Their skin turns burnt black, and their armory heavily cracks. Akeno watches the three corpses collapse to the ground and stays unmoved, their hearts and brain utterly destroyed by the high voltage she sent.

Akeno turns her sight to the right and sees the Carmilla soldiers charging pass her and to the scattered enemies on the battlefield. The commander momentarily stops by the side "Can you deal with the Captain while my squad and I finish the low-ranks?" "Of course," Akeno gives a reassure smile "Leave the Captain to me" "Thanks!" the older woman shouts and quickly joins her squad to battle.

With her expression reverting to seriousness and the yellow eyes sharpen. Akeno sets her gaze to the Captain, seeing him returning to his feet and staring back. The man is a lanky individual that's as tall as Akeno. He dons a light steel armor compared to other soldiers, signaling that he is an agile fighter. The man possesses the same vampire traits with the long white hair and glowing blood-red eyes with slit pupils, pale complexion, and holds a beauty that matches with Angels.

'So, this is Vatris...' Akeno utters in her mind, remembering the files that Stan provided that contained all information on the Tepes's Captains. "Needing to rely on Devils to get the job done," Vatris speaks in a soothe and deep tone, his expression hardens "Carmilla has really fallen in reputation." "No," Akeno speaks, taking a few steps forward while electric yellow aura comes to life around her "They aren't afraid to asks for help because they aren't hiding behind an egotistic tyrant."

Vatris stab the sharp pummel of the lance to the ground "No leader is a saint because you can't become one without having stained your hands." "Compared to Marius," Akeno stops a couple meters away from the man "The Queen of Carmilla might as well be called a saint!" "She's a weak-willed woman who is afraid of shedding blood!" Vatris shouts "I've served under her once and knew it all! That's why she has you doing her dirty work!" "She's a kind-hearted ruler who doesn't want war for her people! Harmony is what she wants and if needing to achieve that goal is to ask help then she will do so. For her people! That in my eyes is a true ruler!" Akeno shouts as an image of Rias appears in her mind "A true ruler looks out for their people no matter what! Even if they have to end down and asks for help."

Vatris frowns and pulls the lance from the ground "What's the point on even continuing to talk... I'll quickly discard of you and start removing all of Carmilla in my way." Akeno glance to the distance to see the two sibling captains are penetrating through the Tepes's army on the right side, cutting down everyone in their way while effectively leading their forces. With the enemy's captains occupied by her and the others, the Carmilla captains can quickly clear the Tepes's numbers without interruption.

Akeno snaps her sight forward to see Vatris discharging four red magic missiles. All of them cutting through air and speeding to her at a rapid pace. Electricity cracks around the Himejima's right leg that's brought up before slamming to the ground to discharge a sizeable wave of electricity. The two attacks collide, and the wave swallows the missiles then disburses.

Akeno takes a step and explodes forward in a trail of lightning. Vatris's eyes widen by the speed and quickly shoots his lance forward, going to offense. Akeno leans her entire body to the side, narrowly missing the weapon then extend her left elbow, nailing it right at the center of the man's face as she passes by him. Vatris is sent flying back in a wild manner, spinning in the air a couple of time before getting into composure and lands on the ground.

Akeno slides on the ground before swiftly turning around with her right arm extended. She discharges a massive wave of electricity blast to the Captain. Vatris snarl and adds mana to the lance, making it glow in red before it is tossed toward the blast with full force. Akeno gasp when seeing the lance penetrates through her attack and promptly speeding towards her.

Akeno quickly drops on all four, narrowly missing the lance by a hair. She smirks and promptly stands up, ready to retaliate until the lance comes blasting from behind and cleanly cuts at the right side of her waist by a few inches. Akeno gasps in shock and holds the bleeding side with one hand. She looks up to see the lance returning to Vatris's hand like an obedient pet.

Vatris wears a satisfying smirk by the injury he inflicted on the Himejima. "This lance listens to my every command," he states "Better keep that in mind for the next time, Devil." Akeno glares in return and releases the wound, it isn't anything severe and something her healing ability can heal in moderate time. A far cry from what Issei's, Riser's, and especially Nawin's healing ability can do, but it'll still get the job done.

Akeno folds her hands to have it face upwards, palms open and lightning explodes on them. Her expression shifts to a chilling smirk "Ara, ara, going to have to do better than that to hurt me" she states, showing no pain at all which Vatris finds slightly disturbing, notably when he for sure saw joy in those yellow eyes.

Vatris shakes his head and brings his lance forward. A red orb form on the tip before discharging a sizable and dense magic blast. Akeno thrust her left arm forward to fire her own electric blast. The two attacks collide to ignite in a fiery explosion that levels the battlefield. Vatris watch the cloud of smoke for a moment before start rushing towards it, intending to go for a surprise attack. Though, he is interrupt when Akeno emerges from the smoke with a big smirk and her right arm extended. Vatris' eyes snap wide as he watches the Himejima release the attack to fire a wave of electricity at him just a few feet away. The blast completely swallows the Captain. When the attack contacts a boulder, it ignites in a massive explosion, with Vatris in it.

Souring through the sky, Issei surveys the battlefield to locate the fourth Captain. "Where the hell is this guy?" Issei utters, getting somewhat annoyed at not finding his target. 'Don't forget your enemy is the head of Tepes's Assassin Unit, so finding him isn't supposed to be easy' Ddraig reminds, watching everyone from the mindscape with interest.

"... Guess you do have a point," Issei mutters and looks down once more to only see an arrow flying toward him. "Woah!" he quickly leans to the right to barely dodge the arrow. Issei's eyes widen when seeing the tip of it is dosed in green poison as it flies past him.

Snapping his eyes down, Issei spot a man dressed in all black clothes with light brown leather armor don over for protecting his body. Half of his face is covered by a bandana. The only areas exposed is his glowing red slit eyes and short silver lock. "Found you," Issei utters and sees the Captain fire more arrows, this time three at once. Flapping his wings, Issei blasts down then thirst the boosted gear forward to discharge a Dragon Shot. The red beam passes through the arrows, disintegrate them in it, then makes way to the Captain.

The Assassin watches the blast coming down at him without worry. He summons another arrow and places it on the string, pulling it back. The steel tip begins glowing in blue before the arrow release. The blast comes into contact with it and is split into two by the arrow. Issei gasp in shock when seeing his attack got cut down by a simple bolt. Seeing it heading toward him, Issei quickly disappear away in pure-speed to avoid the deadly arrow.

Issei appears beside the Captain and immediately swing a roundhouse kick, but it is blocked by an arm. The man counters by shooting his right feet forward and planting it squarely at Issei's stomach, sending him flying back and knocking the wind out of his lungs. The Assassin summon another arrow and fires it to the Hyoudou then watch it detonates in a sizable explosion, taking his opponent in it.

Without needing to look, the Assassin summon another arrow and shoots from behind to the incoming troop of Carmilla. The arrow erupts in an explosion similar to the first and annihilates the force in seconds.

"Boost Times Ten!" Issei's voice explodes from the smoke, and a few seconds later, he dashes out of the smoke and making a headline to the Captain. "You'll pay for that, Gethin!" Issei shouts the man's name before discharging a Dragon Shot. Like before, Gethin summons a similar arrow and fires it to the incoming beam.

With the beam obscuring the Captain's view, Issei used it as a diversion and jumps, exploding from the ground and to the air without notice. Gethin watches his arrow split the blast into two only to notice the Hyoudou is gone, causing his eyes to widen in an alert.

Issei comes blasting down from the sky and smashes the boosted gear right at Gethin's head in an utterly surprise attack. The Captain is sent smashing onto the ground, and a cloud of dust explodes in the area. Issei jumps out of the cloud and while in midair, charges another Dragon Shot and release it down to the prone man. He watches his attack ignite in a red explosion then disappears to reappear on the ground, a few meters away from the blast zone.

Issei perks when sensing a spike in the Captain's magic signature. The dense smoke suddenly disperses to reveal Gethin. His clothes hold many cuts and the once clean silver lock is now painted with fresh blood that leaks down to his forehead. "You sure are tough," Issei speaks out "Thought that would have finished you." Gethin didn't utter a response and instead drops the bow to grab the two daggers in the leather holster. "Not much of a talker I see," Issei mutters and gets to a stance, seeing it is turning into a close-combat battle.

Frontlines

At the very frontline is where the battle is bloodiest and violent. Carmilla and Tepes clash without hesitant and slaughtering one another without mercy for the victory of their home. Dozens of piles of corpses littered the bloody battlefield, dismembered body parts laid in a pool of blood. It is havoc.

"Take this, Tepes!" a woman launches her broadsword forward after countering an attack, successfully killing the attacker by piercing his head. She pulls the sword back and kicks the corpse down before turning around only to have a comes slamming down on top of her head, cracking her neck and deforming her face. The large man pulls the mace back and swings it around to smash it at an attacker from behind, sending her blasting away and surely shattering her ribs.

"Hah!" Rias comes flying to the side and knee the tall man in the face, causing him to stumble back and groans in pain. Rias lands one her feet and thrust her right arm to discharge an orb of destruction that burns through the man's entire abdomen, destroying everything. The Tepes soldier collapses to the ground and is finished off by Rias taking his mace and smashing down to his head, crushing the brain into bits.

"Guh," Rias drops the mace and gulps down a breath of air to her aching lungs, kneeling to the ground. Blood can be seen splattered around her clothes and some on her cheeks. "Ahhh!" another Tepes comes charging from behind with a lance pointed at the Gremory, but he is interrupted by a Carmilla soldier charges from the right and rams her sword through his skull. The woman pulls the weapon back and turns to Rias "Are you alright?" "Yeah," Rias nods, breathing "Just need to catch my breath" "Understood," the warrior nod before charging into the heated area.

Rias takes one last deep inhale and returns to her feet. "Need to keep pushing," she utters and looks ahead to see the battle is still raging. Captain Stan is doing his best to guide his army and keep their morale high even though they are still outnumbered. Rias watch Carmilla's warriors fall and screams of pain enter her hearing. Even though she has seen how bloody a war get from the invasion, Rias still feel sick to her stomach watching the gruesome spectacle.

Rias turn her sight to see Gasper riding with Captain Stan. He is using his sacred gear to freeze a group of Tepes to give Stan and his brigade an advantage to finish them out in a swift attack. Shaking her head, Rias exhales once more. 'I can't just sit here taking a breather when Gasper is working so hard." Rias gets to her feet, snapping her eyes open to reveal those blazing crimson orbs.

'I need to help end this war quick!' Crimson aura comes to life and explode around Rias. She begins walking then breaks out into a sprint. "Ahhhhhh!" she shouts and erupts to the air, passing the Carmilla line and entering the sea of Tepes. Summoning two large destruction orbs, Rias throws them to the side while descending. The spheres connect the ground and erupt in a massive explosion that wipes everyone that it touches. With the power of destruction surging around her arms, Rias comes down with both fists punching the ground to create a blast of destruction that vaporizes dozens of Tepes's soldiers.

With a momentarily opening, Carmilla troops quickly take advantage and pierce through the Tepes's forces, cutting down the scattered soldiers while pushing forward. Rias pants and looks forward, watching the Carmillas dashing past her while some stop by the sides to give her a room to catch another breather.

"What the hell?!" "Ahhhh!" "S-stop her!" "N-no, too quick!" "Gahhhh!" hollers of pain erupts elsewhere in the frontline. Tepes's men getting slaughtered by the seconds by Akame, who's moving around the battlefield like a reaper. Cutting down everyone in her sight in light speed that no ordinary soldiers can hope to see. Limps flies everyone and bodies crumbles in her path.

Finishing off another man by cleaving his midsection. Akame swipes the Black Thunder done to clear the blood from the black blade and points it forward to another troop in front. All of the men hesitant to advance, all their hands that are holding the weapon are shaking ever lightly. "W-what the hell are you!" one of them shout and steps back a bit when Akame's red eyes sets on him "Akame... Nawin Makasha's Knight" she answers and takes a step forward to dash pass the troops in monstrous speed.

Akame appears behind the troops and swipes the sword down. The frozen men behind crumbles to the ground. One by one, their head falls from the torso. Akame brings her right hand up to look at the black ring for a moment before turning her attention forward. The reason why she is stood here on this battlefield, participating in this bloody war is because of the very person who gave her this ring. She won't disappoint him or leave him to fight this war alone.

With a battalion of Carmilla rushing pass her, Akame walks forward to follow, her eyes turn sharp and ready to kill.

West

Sayomi's eyes are set firmly at Nawin on the battlefield. Watching him slaughtering through the Tepes like an unstoppable force. His signature shadow weapons swirl around him for defense and offense when an unfortunate individual goes near it. Sayomi steer her sight elsewhere to see two Captain making way toward the Makasha, on horses and going in full gallop. "Hmm," Sayomi hums and rest her chin on her knee, eyes return to Nawin and watch how the event will unfold.

"Surround him!" the soldiers roars and begin circling around the Makasha, but not too close to the wall of weapons around him. Nawin stands straight as things go on a standstill. Dispelling the twisted etcher that's covered in blood, Nawin looks forward at the group of soldiers "You think you're safe?" he asks as black lightning cracks around his body which have the soldiers gasp. Outstretching his arms, Nawin discharge current of lightning from his body that reaches far as several meters.

The Tepes's force troops scream in pain, feeling the lightning surrounding their body and sending thousands of volts into their organs, burning them to death. Soon, their corpses crumble to the ground all at once as the black lightning disperses.

Nawin returns his arms to the side and snaps his head to the right when hearing loud footsteps of horseshoes clanking the ground follow by its rearing. A large and heavy man rush forward on the horse, wielding a battle axe and swings it to crush a few shadow weapons before steering to the side and stop a few meters in front of the Makasha.

Nawin examines his populate and can tell he is a Captain by his magic signature. The overweight man is covered in steel army with a round helmet that holds two holes for sight. The bright red eyes shine through them. The horse rears, but it is silenced by the man hitting it at the back of its neck, causing the animal to whimper.

Nawin's expression darkens at the cruelty act on the animal. "Hey," he speaks looking straight at the Captain's eyes "How about getting your fat-ass off that horse? Clearly, you are too heavy for it." This comment immediately sets the Captain in rage "You calling me fat?!" he hollers, clearly showing some insecurity "Yes, I am. So overweight that you are tormenting the horse," Nawin state, looking at the animal and sees distress in its brown eyes.

Before the Captain gets a chance to reply, Nawin appears on top and sends a kick to his face, sending him flying out of the horse and crash onto the ground. Nawin lands beside the animal and gives it a gentle pat on the neck, smiling softly. "Go now, girl" he ushers, and the animal rears before sprinting out of the battlefield.

Nawin's expression returns stoic and turns around to look at the Captain getting up from the ground "It's ok to be fat, I don't care but hurting an animal I won't allow" he states in an icy tone. "Don't call me fat!" the Captain shouts, still insulted by the subject which has Nawin sweatdrops a bit; apparently the man is much in denial.

Not wanting to deal with this hindrance, Nawin disperses the wall of weapons to preserve mana and instead replace it with a single gunblade. Turning to gun mode, Nawin fires three bullets. The Captain panic and stumbles back and moves his body drastically to avoid the bullets. Nawin appears behind in a black flash, with the gunblade switch to sword mode then cleaves the man's head clean off his body with a single blazing slash.

Blood explodes from the neck while the corpse crumbles forward and the dismembered head drops beside. "You picked the wrong opponent," Nawin state to see a man his height stood there, looking at the scene with a calculated red gaze. The lean built man is bald with a rugged silver beard. His expression is fierce like an experienced warrior. Nawin can see that this Captain is to be taken seriously.

Without uttering a word, the older man reaches to the right side and unsheathe a longsword from the scabbard while his other hand goes for a dagger on the other side. Making him a dual wielding opponent. Nawin readies the gunblade, in a stance and waiting for the opponent to make a move.

Both ignore the carnage happening around them and focus on each other. 'Augustin,' Nawin utters, remembering the profile and the warning Stan gave to him about the opponent in front. 'Augustin is below Cadell in terms of skills and power. He's a serious and unforgiving individual that's out there to kill for the sake of Tepes. Be wary of him, Makasha' Stan words replayed in the Makasha's mind.

Augustin slides his right foot forward then unexpectedly launch the dagger ahead instead of breaking into a sprint. Nawin is confused by the strategy but before he can think more the dagger suddenly multiple by a hundred and now a swarm of them speed toward him.

Ready to teleport, Nawin gets interrupted when feeling something grab his feet and looks down to see the earth as wrap his right feet. 'What?!' he shouts in mind, and the hail of daggers comes crashing on him and the ground to cause a cloud of dust to explode.

Augustin examines closely and sees sparkles in the dust. The cloud clears to show the wall of weapons swirling closely around the Makasha. All of the daggers littered the ground close to him. Augustin through spot a single of his daggers sticks firmly in the Makasha's right shoulder. Even with that protection, one was able to enter through it and hit its target.

Nawin grabs the daggers and with a grunt, pulls it out and toss it to the ground. The wound begins healing immediately. Lifting his right arm up, Nawin sends all the lances in the wall to Augustin while the other weapons are disposed of.

The Captain pours mana into the longsword. The blade glows in red before he delivers an upward slash to discharge a violent wave of mana. The lances come into contact with it and shatter by the overwhelming power. Nawin disappears in a black flash to reappear in front of Augustin with the gunblade pierce forward. Not expecting the attack, the Captain just narrowly twists his waist to the left and receive a cut on the side instead of getting impaled. Augustin retaliates by bringing his sword down, but Nawin stops it by grabbing the man's wrist, halting the attack. Augustin responds by grabbing Nawin's other hand, stopping the gunblade.

Both glare at one another and begin pushing forward, trying to overpower one another. Black aura explodes from Nawin while red aura erupts from Augustin. The earth starts splitting, and the rocks begin levitating from the force emitting of the aura. Nawin growls and takes one step forward, pushing Augustin back by a few inches, but he comes to a stop when the Captain begins flaring more aura and starts pushing him back.

Planting his feet on the ground, Nawin is able to stop the man then looks him in the eyes. A smirk makes way to the Makasha's lip "Devil's Flame Wave" he whispers and opens his mouth to blast a wave of red flames to the stunned Captain in point-blank range.

Nawin rips himself away and jumps back, thrusting his right arm forward "Red Flamming Cannon!" he exclaims and discharges the red magic ball to the wave of flames. A humongous explosion of fire shoots to the skies and level the earth, sending tremors for a mile away.

Touching the ground with his feet, Nawin looks forward at the cloud of smoke, seeing any signs of the Captain surviving the devastation attack.

Sayomi's eyes slowly widen when spotting a figure emerging from the earth from behind Nawin. Another Captain with sickle clenched tightly in his right hand. The sinister looking man holds a menacing grin and slowly brings the sharp weapon to Nawin neck, who is completely oblivious to the act. Sayomi's eyes flares and stare sharply at the silver-haired man.

"Gahhh!" a scream of pain possess Nawin to swiftly turn around and spot the man standing behind, clenching his right shoulder, his right arm has been amputated and laid on the bloody ground. Acting quick, Nawin sends a brutal kick to the Captain's abdomen, knocking the wind out of his lungs and sends him blasting away.

Watching the mystery man crash into a boulder, Nawin looks down at the arm and sees it holding a sickle. "How?" he mutters "He was about to kill me, but... Someone prevented him." Nawin studies around the battlefield to see only the chaos of the war, nothing out of character.

Sayomi cracks a faint smile by watching Nawin glancing around. She finds it an adorable and amusing sight; his expression holds bewilderment which is something rare to be seen. "You can repay me back for that later, my dear" she utters then resumes watching the battle.

Shaking his head, "I'll leave it for later," Nawin turns attention to his new opponent "Got to finish the job first." Watching the slimly and lanky man gets up, Nawin exactly knows who he is from the profiles he read. 'Anton, a sick bastard... A cruel bastard that has murdered all of his opponents without remorse and enjoyed torturing them slowly before cleaving their heads off and keeping it as a collection' Nawin's expression darkens by that sinister smile etched in the Captain's face. It's like he enjoyed the pain inflicted on him.

Nawin abruptly sides steps to the right to avoid a fist blasting from behind. Shooting his right arm up to grab the attacker's arm, Nawin throws them over the shoulder. Looking forward, he sees Augustin landing on his feet just in front of Anton. Half of his body, excluding his face sustained a hideous third-degree burn. With the armor being in shambles from the flames. The gnarly sight of blisters covering over the steaming red skin is exposed. Augustin's once stoic expression changed to an enrage one and is glaring heatedly at the Makasha.

The burn is so damaging that Nawin can see the vampire's healing factor is having a tough time regenerating the burnt skin. He can tell that the Captain is in excruciating pain that'll make even the toughest of man wince. Not feeling an ounce of sympathy for the enemy, Nawin charges up his mana and summons a shadow lance in his hands. Sneaking a glance at Anton, Nawin sees that his right arm isn't healing 'He must be saving mana then... Regenerating a limp does exhaust your stamina significantly. With Augustin losing his cool which will inevitably lead him to make mistakes and Anton missing an arm... This will give me an advantage in the battle.'

Nawin appears in front of Augustin and launches the lance forward. Augustin swings his to the right at the lance and redirects it to the side. Nawin smirk and summons a shortsword on his other hand and cuts the Captain by his side as he speeds past. "Guh!" Augustin grunts and in rage turns around to bring his sword down, but Nawin disappears in a black flash as the sword was inches away from his back.

Appearing a few meters away from the Captain, Nawin is surprised to meet Anton right at his face and feels a hard punch delivered on his stomach, sending him sliding away. Augustin appears side and pierces his sword forward. However, Nawin is able to cock his head to the right in time to avoid the blade and instead receive a graze on his cheek.

Nawin ducks when Augustin pushes his sword to the right, intending to cleave his head in half. Nawin release the weapons to free his hand and shoot his elbow up to deliver a stiff strike to the Captain's chin. Augustin goes daze completely and stumbles back in shaky footing, his sword barely in his hand. Nawin was about to go for another strike but instead jumps back to avoid a fist coming from the side, aimed for his face.

Cussing under his breath, Nawin looks up to see Anton with that sickening smirk that's he is getting irritated of seeing. Pointing his index and middle finger to Augustin. "Push!" Nawin shouts and produces a powerful gravity impact that sends the man flying back, buying him a one on one time with Anton.

"I'm getting sick of seeing your face," Nawin utters with a snarl and begins walking forward "I'm going to give you a painful death" "And I'm going to take pleasure of taking that pretty head of yours!" Anton shouts in a high-pitch voice before breaking into a sprint.

Done wasting time, Nawin doesn't hold back and appears in front of Anton in a black flash with the Demonic Lightning charge in his right hand. Anton didn't even stand a chance to counter when Nawin launches the attack through his chest in light speed, destroying the heart into oblivion as the electric surges all through the veins, frying everything inside.

Anton instantly slumps, hanging limply on the Makasha's arm, lifeless. Nawin grabs the man's shoulder with the other hand to rip himself off, then tosses the corpse to the ground.

"Clearly you Captains aren't in the level compared to Shigemi's or Carmilla's Captains," Nawin utters, looking at Anton's dead eyes "Just deranged warriors that randomly got picked by your tyrant leader." The Demonic Lightning disappears, and Nawin turns his attention to Augustin, who's already up on his feet and staring back.

'Nawin-kun,' Rias's voice enters the Makasha's mind 'Yes?' 'I just took out a Captain who was among the frontline,' 'I was wondering where the fourth one was.' 'Must have been given a different order from the rest. They probably thought three captains was enough to defeat you' 'Seems like it or they were concerned for the frontline strength. Anyway, I am almost done. One left before I return to you and Akame' 'Great, we are keeping things under control here, but Tepes's force is still strong. Your help will be a big benefit' 'Understood, I'll be there soon.' Nawin cuts the link and returns his focus on the last Captain.

East

"Haaah!" Riser comes crashing down with his right fist planting on the earth to produce a torrent of flames that swallows Albert from all sides. But the Captain quickly sprints out of the fire and jumps forward to create a gap between the two.

The once clean and shiny black armor is now burnt with steam emitting from it. Albert's entire right arm suffered a third-degree burn with arm-plate entirely gone. Riser remains unharmed from barely taking any fatal injuries, and if did his healing factor would kick in and heal the wounds in a matter of minutes.

Albert was no match against Riser. The man relies heavily on close-combat and barely possessed the ability for long-range attacks beside primary magic blasts. Riser can go both close and ranged combat which gave him a vast league in the battle.

Carmilla's forces have already dealt with the Captain's effects which only leave the two in the battle. Riser charges up his mana, orange flames come to life and surround him. "Grhhh," Albert growl, glaring at the Phenex "You will pay!" he howls and slams halberd to the ground to discharge a violent wave of magic.

Riser breaks into a sprint and in a precise moment jump over the blast and lands right in front of the Captain, who is stun for a moment by the unexpected move. Albert snaps and roars, bringing swinging the halberd from the side. Riser stretches his right arm and perfectly catches the weapon by its steel body. "Ends here, Vampire," Riser state with a smirk and brings his left arm up, opening the palm and discharge a wide wave of fire blast that envelopes the Captain whole frame.

Riser watches Albert body turns to ashes in the flame, one by one the limps disintegrate to ashes all the while his scream rings inside before the upper body turn into ash along with the rest. Riser closes his palm to stop the flame and drops the halberd.

"Should go help the east line," Riser utters, looking at the havoc in the distance. Flaming wings spread from the back then Riser takes off to the sky, speeding toward the battlefield.

"Graahhh! Die!" Danut comes down with the hammer "Hmm," Koneko's eyes sharpen and she jumps up, bringing her right feet up to connect with the weapon's head and successfully sends it flying out of the wielder's hands. "W-what?!" Danut goes stun by the precise strike and unable to block the massive punch land square in his face from the Rook that sends him bursting down from the air and colliding to the ground, leveling the area.

Koneko looks up and catches the hammer in midair, once again having it in her hands. "This guy is a bad owner," she comments and lands on the ground, placing the weapon on her right shoulder. In the corner of Koneko's eyes, she spots an orange light and looks up to see Riser flying toward the battlefield. 'He is done...' Koneko comments in her mind before averting her sight to the Captain, seeing him returning to his feet and glaring angrily at her.

Koneko just blinks and start walking towards him. For rare occasions, Koneko no longer needs to hold her strength back for the sake of hurting others. This is war, and she can go all out. Koneko carries the heavy weapon in front then suddenly snaps it in two like a twig.

"AHHHH!" Danut screams in shock, seeing his weapon made of pure steel just got destroyed by a little girl. A weapon that survived countless battles and punishments "Y-you," Danut is unable to speak, still flabbergasted "You crazy girl! That's my weapon!" Koneko just shrugs and drops the broken two-piece on the ground "I'm not sorry" she replies.

Danut snarl and start sprinting toward the Rook in a fit of rage "You stupid swine!" Koneko pulls the black gloves gifted by her dear Nii-san down to hold it in place. Her eyes sharpen and watch closely at the incoming opponent.

When in range, Danut throws a right punch. Koneko leans to the left and takes Danut's right arm then pulls him to the ground with her. The two comes landing on the earth. Koneko wraps her legs tightly around Danut's hip then leans her whole upper body to the right while keeping a tight hold on his right arm tightly. Koneko place her left hand on her right wrist then begins pushing Danut's arm up to apply a perfect kimura submission.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Danut's lets out a scream in anguish, feeling his right arm being push out of its socket. Koneko stays stoic and pushes the right arm to pass an angle it never should. "S-Stop! Gahhhhhh!" Danut screams, but it falls in deaf ears. Koneko snaps the arm forward, and an audible pop erupts in the field followed by a loud scream of pain.

Koneko releases the arm and pushes the man, sending him rolling away in pain. His right arm limply flails around in a disgusting angle. The Toujou returns to her feet and looks at the defeated Captain, who is twitching around on the ground in agony. "Nii-san is right," Koneko comments innocently, tilting her head to the right "It really looks painful."

Koneko looks down and grabs a piece of the broken hammer, specifically its haft. Stopping above the man, Koneko spins the haft around before grabbing with both hands then points the broken and sharp end down at the man. Eyes glint in resolution, Koneko drives the haft down and puncture it straight through the heart, successfully killing the Captain.

Releasing the half, Koneko takes a few steps away from the corpse then turns around. She takes a deep inhale before exhaling it out, feeling a bit out of breath. With straighten posture, Koneko begins marching to the battlefield to assist Carmilla's force and her friends.

Akeno crash through a boulder and comes sliding onto the ground on her back. Scratches covered her body, and her clothes hold numerous cuts from the ongoing battle. Grunting, Akeno sits up and goes on all fours before returning on her feet, panting lightly.

Vatris march toward his opponent with the lance clench tightly in the right hand, his expression remains fierce to show his determination on completing the task that bestowed upon him. The task to kill the devils which will help Tepes's chance of winning the war.

"I expected more from you," Vatris state, stopping a few feet away from the Himejima "Guess women really don't belong in the battlefield." "Ara, ara, trust me," Akeno wipe the sweat from her forehead as a smirk form on her lip "I have plenty left to show you. All that was just a warmup for my body" she states. Vatris is unconvinced by the claim, believing that the Himejima is just bluffing at this point.

Vatris's eyes widen in surprise when Akeno's expression suddenly changes. The once calm and sharp expression is gone and replace with a sadistic and dangerous smirk that sends ominous chills down his spine. Vatris takes a step back in caution and brings the lance forward, his guard is entirely up and ready for anything.

Akeno brings her left hand to touch the bracelet "My love must almost be done with his mission... It's time for me to complete mines," she utters in a vexing tone. "Ara, ara," Akeno release the bracelet and looks at Vatris straight in the eyes "Your times is up, Captain."

A yellow light lance form in the Himejima's right hand. Lightning cracks around it, showing it is different than the standard Fallen Angel's light weapon. Vatris gasps when hearing a sound of lightning cracking behind him. He glances back with wide eyes to see Akeno standing there with the lance placed firmly on his left shoulder, that horrifying smirk plastered on her face. "Now I'm serious" she states and swipes the lance back to create a blinding electric blast that envelopes the two.

Vatris suddenly comes emerging from the light while holding his left shoulder that is hideously burnt to the point that bones can be seen on the surface of the smoking dark flesh. His entire left arm is damaged beyond a standard healing factor could fix in a reasonable time. Sweating extensively, Vatris looks up to sees Akeno walking out of the dust calmly, smirking at his state "Do I disappoint you know, Captain?" she asks, then places a hand on her hip in an almost coy manner.

Vatris just glares in response then looks below to spot his lance laid just beside the Himejima. Smirking mentally, Vatris begins commander the weapon. "Nope," Akeno slams her right feet on the lance, pinning it firmly on the ground "That trick of yours has played its part" she state.

"Now what are you going to do?" Vatris asks, smirking "Remove your feet from that and my lance will strike you... I intend it to be a critical strike too." Akeno didn't look threatened; instead, she tilts her head to the side and smirk in amusement "I may not be as fast as my lover, but" Akeno's entire body disappears in lightning and appears in front of the stun Vatris. "I am still fast," she states then delivers an electric punch to the Captain's face, sending him bursting away, barreling through the earth.

Akeno glance back to see the lance has not moved an inch. With Vatris being attacked, he doesn't have the concentration to control it. Akeno looks forward to seeing magic missiles flying toward her. All of them collide to cause a sizable explosion.

The lance levitates from the ground and speed toward Vatris, returning to his right hand. Grunting, Vatris use the weapon to get him on his feet, clenching it with his right hand since the left is too damaged to wield anything. Looking up, a gasp escapes his lip when seeing the smoke clears and shows Akeno standing there, looking at him sharply. Not a single injury sustained by his attack.

Akeno's eyes suddenly revert to violet, the light lance disperses along with the aura. "W-what?!" Vatris mutters "What are you doing?!" he shouts. Akeno turns around and begins walking toward the battlefield "It's already over," she states, and the Vatris's lance glows yellow. "WHAT?!" he looks at the weapon and sees a seal planted on it "DAMN YOU!" he shouts, glaring at Akeno's retreating form. "CURSE Y-" Vatris is unable to finish his sentence as the seal implodes in a violent explosion that reaches twenty meters in height.

"Ahhh!" Issei screams while sending a booming punch only to have it miss by Gethin slithers past it and brings the daggers forward. Issei leans his head to the right while coking his hip to the other side. The sharp blades graze both the cheek of the Hyoudou's and midsection's side. Gethin jumps back to avoid another punch and return to his stance, both daggers held tightly in his hands.

'Damn it,' Issei cuss in annoyance, wiping the blood trickling down his cheek 'The guy's strikes are so fast, and he just keeps evading all of my offense.' 'Then prevent him from escaping,' Ddraig throws in a suggestion 'Grabbing him is still not an easy task, Ddraig. He keeps slithering around like a snake!' Issei retorts, wanting better advice.

Issei thinks for a minute before an idea appears which cause him to grin. Inside the mindscape, Ddraig smirk at the plan. Issei breaks into a sprint toward the Assassin. "Take this!" he exclaims and fires another punch which misses by Gethin ducking it, then brings both daggers upwards to launch it into the Hyoudou's stomach.

Gethin's eyes snap wide when seeing Issei's whole body shatters to crimson shards, revealing a fake. The boosted gear comes blasting from the right and smashes squarely on the side of the Captain's head. Gethin is send exploding away at a ridiculous speed, cutting through the earth before ending up slamming facefirst on the ground.

"Hah!" Issei laughs and points at the grunting Captain on the ground "Take that you annoying bastard! Keep dodging all of my attacks!" he exclaims with a wide grin. Gethin slithers back to his feet then glares daggers at the Hyoudou.

Gethin drops the left dagger on the ground to reach behind, pulling out a small white bottle from a pouch. He tosses it forward, and Issei jumps ahead to kick the container in a moderate strength, intending to send it back, but he gasps in surprise when the bottle shatters in contact to release clouds of thick white smoke.

"Damn," Issei lands on the ground and looks around to find himself in a world of fog, losing sight of the opponent. Issei remains still while his eyes glance toward the sides for any sign of the Assassin. Quickly sending a look back, there is nothing but fog. With a grunt, Issei begins slowly and cautiously advance through the smoke.

'I would consider flying out, but that'll just give him my exact location and a chance to strike.' Issei throws another glance behind and fortunately views nothing but fog. Confident that there's no sneak attack at play, Issei returns his eyes forward and sees Gethin standing there. Gasping, Issei tries to attack, but a dagger comes launching to his stomach that puts a stop to that. "Guh!" blood splatter on Gethin's right arm and pours to the ground, Issei takes a few shaky steps back while looking at the taller man with wide eyes.

Gethin has a look pleased on his eyes by seeing the injured state of the Hyoudou. Slowly pulling the dagger out, Gethin is surprised when seeing Issei snatch him by the wrist, holding it with an iron grip. "H-hehehe," Issei lets out a deep chuckle as his lip twist into a grin "Gotcha," he looks up at the Captain with shining emerald eyes.

Rotation form into life on the boosted gear, spinning around in sonic speed and growing in size to fit the palm. Gethin's eyes widen in an alert, and he quickly delivers a left hook to Issei's face, but that proves fruitless. The Hyoudou just grin and isn't fazed by the strike. "Bye, bye," Issei utters and thurst the rotation forward, slamming it perfectly at the center of the Captain's abdomen.

Gethin lets out a scream of agony as the orb rips his flesh into oblivion. Issei releases his grip, and the Rotation takes Gethin away, growing in size until it swallows the man. Issei watches his signature attack collide with a boulder and erupts in a sizable explosion.

'Good job,' Ddraig praise though his tone wasn't anything overly excited, clearly sawing the outcome coming. Issei examines his stomach and sees the deep cut already begins to regenerate. "Damn, that hurt" he grunts "Though the strategy paid off. That guy was a pain to fight" 'That's assassins for you, partner.'

Issei takes a deep breath then exhales. A pair of wings explodes from the back. "Alright," he mutters, opening his eyes "Let's head to the battlefield and end this!"

West

An area level to destruction as Nawin and Augustin collides at one another. Their right elbows push forward at each other, trying to overpower the opposition. Both pull back and follow with a high right kick. Both legs connect, and the already large crater beneath implodes to a grander size.

Augustin throws a quick right jab, but Nawin sees it coming to tilt his head, avoiding it. He counters with a side head-butt to the nose of the Captain. A sickening crack erupts in the field. Augustin grunts in pain and feels his nose snap upwards, the orbital bone inevitably cracked.

Fazed by the injury, Augustin was unable to block a downward kick from Nawin that connects to the top of his head. He is send blasting down and crash hard to the earth. When the dust clears, Nawin sees the Captain on all fours, panting hoarsely, while blood continues to spill down from the nose. He can tell the battle is almost at the end.

Descending to the earth, Nawin lands gently and start marching toward his opponent. The Demonic Lightning cracks into existence around the Makasha's right palm. Augustin, without any signs of fear, looks upwards at the Black Flash and a sign of respect is shown in those red eyes.

"Hehehe," Augustin release a dry chuckle and leans back to sit upward, his right arm rest on top of the right knee. "If I were to go down... At least I went down with a worthy opponent" he mutters, looking at the frightening appearance of the Demonic Lightning. "Compared to the other Captains I've faced... You still have some honor, Augustin" Nawin state and sees the man smile, a sincere one "Huh, then you know I don't give up easily!" Augustin shoots forward in surprise movement, but Nawin predicts it and thrust the Demonic Lightning.

Nawin's right arm rips right through Augustin's chest, right at the area where the heart was. The Captain was able to build a smirk before his eyes losses life and his body slumps. Nawin pulls his arm out and watches the vampire crumble backward to the ground.

Nawin swipes his right arm swiftly to get rid of the blood. The black lightning disperses from existence. He takes a moment to gulp in the air then exhales. The feeling of exhaustion is very imperative, but Nawin wasn't going to just take a long break while his friends are out there fighting the war.

After done with his short break, Nawin opens his eyes and is ready to advance to the battlefield until a sudden heaviness in the air comes crashing down on him. Like a feeling of terror just occur on the battlefield.

Both sides in the war come to a sudden halt. All of them feel this ominous air. Rias and Akame are back to back while Gasper stood on the left, the three look toward the south where Tepes lies with anxious. Akeno and her team at the east side also stop, looking at the south like the rest on the battlefield. "What the hell..." Riser utters, floating in the air "Something... Is coming" Koneko whisper while Issei and Akeno stay quiet and merely look to the horizon.

Then, bursting from the dark clouds like a swarm of crows. The Gargoyles soars toward the battlefield in an army of a hundred. All of them flying freely and tainting the clear clouds by their numbers. Their glowing eyes shine in red, signaling their bloodlusted emotions and it is all set at the Carmillas.

But, that was not it. Suddenly, a thunderous roar boom from the south and flying up from the horizon is a humongous and frightening figure that has all of Carmilla's forces blood go cold. Speeding toward them is the most massive dragon any of the vampires have ever seen. This dragon is different from any other. It has three heads with six glowing pupilless eyes. Six wings sprouted wide on its back, so huge it looks like it could claw the sky open. It's thick and dark purple scale strikes fear at the soldiers, believing that none of them can even hope to get through such protection to hit the vital spots.

Standing on the heads are Marius and Cadell, both wearing a wicked smirk on their face. Marveling at the terrified expression on the Carmilla's faces. This is how they will crush Carmilla once and for all. A hundred of Gargoyles and a legendary Evil Dragon. It is the end of Carmilla.

"N-no way" "We can't..." "I-It's over..." Carmilla's soldiers utter in helpless tone, all of them just stare at the incoming monsters with wide eyes. "W-what is that thing," Issei whispers, looking at the horrifying dragon 'That's... Azi Dahaka,' Ddraig answers with troubled tone, showing how severe the condition has gotten 'He's a part of a legendary group in the Dragon Race called Evil Dragon' 'The Evil Dragon?' 'An elite group containing the vilest and fierce dragon in existence. They are pure evil and want nothing but destruction. Most of them were killed by an ancient war that goes back centuries ago. But, Azi Dahaka was the rare survivor though he was later killed not long ago' 'By who?' 'By your teacher of course,' Ddraig answers, surprising the Hyoudou 'Azi Dahaka was one of the dragons that led the outbreak at the south with the other Elder Dragon before they were all slain by Hunter' 'She... She was able to take that thing out by herself?' 'Shows how skilled she is and how her specialty at killing dragons is not to be understated.'

Rias listen to all the helpless comment being thrown by the Carmilla's army. Even Captain Stan is at a loss of words, unable to express anything to help his subordinate's morale. The Tepes begin cheering for their Ruler, looking overjoyed which breaks the opposing force's confidence even further. "B-Buchou?" Gasper whispers, looking at his King for guidance "..." Rias didn't give a reply and just grit her teeth, clenching her hands tightly in frustration 'What do we go?!'

"Carmilla!" Akeno's voice booms and cause everyone to rear their heads to her "Don't waver! There's still a big card on our side that hasn't been revealed yet!" she shouts, wearing a big smirk. Rias's eyes widen in knowing, and a grin breaks on her face "That right!" she shouts and looks toward the south "They may have a Dragon... But we have the Black Flash!"

Everyone sees Nawin appears behind the Tepes's force. All the soldiers are left speechless when the Makasha begin striding toward Marius on the ground. "W-what's he doing?!" "Have the devils lost their mind?!" "I-it's really over." Captain Stan looks at Nawin with sharp eyes, anxiously waiting for something that'll help turn the tide of the war to their side.

Marius's face breaks out in a wide grin when watching the Makasha coming to him without an ounce of fear displaying. "Leave Nawin Makasha to me," Marius tells his second-in-command "Very well," Cadell gives the nod "I'll handle Stan and the rest of the devils" "Don't fail me" "When have I ever?"

Nawin grabs his jacket and in one swift motion, toss it to the air, leaving only the gray shirt. "Looks like it's time for you to come out and play," Nawin brings his right arm up, a smirk dancing on his lip "Hana." The Hydra Insignia on his arm brightly glows the second Nawin utter the name.

A humongous cloud of smoke explodes around the Makasha, taking him in with it. A moment of silence befalls on the battleground. Then, a thunderous roar erupts inside the smoke. Another roar comes out, then another, until a total of eight is heard. The smoke vanishes to reveal the Hydra standing there, its eight heads staring at the incoming Dragon.

Nawin stood on one of the head, arms crossed and staring straight at Marius, who's just grinning widely in anticipation. The seven head of the hydra's looks toward the air and all open their mouth to release a storm of green flames to the sky that instantly takes out half of the Gargoyles' army. Their stone bodies crumble due to the intense heat and shatter, falling to the earth like a small size meteorite. Creating an almost mesmerizing scene of vibrant green.

Captain Stan holds a big grin and turns to his subordinate "Soldiers! The tide has once again turned for us! Let's win this!" "YEAHHH!" "FOR CARMILLA!" with morales returning even higher than before. The men and women capitalize at the momentarily stunned Tepes, charging through them in a swift motion with Captain Stan leading the helm.

Akeno and her team along with the Captains lead the east side through the Tepes. All holds more determination and spirit thanks to their friend/lover's fearless display. Rias, Akame, and Gasper lead the frontline with Captain Stan, eliminating every Tepes in their way once again.

The bloody war continues to the next stage. The feared Hydra and the legendary Evil Dragon shall clash. Nawin and Marius will come to blows with everything they've got. They will give every drop of sweat, every drop of blood, and every ounce of energy they have to win this war. One for a better life of the innocence while the other for his selfish personal gain.
