BOOM!!!
Another deafening blast shook the rooftop as Rias and Sona broke apart, each landing with practiced grace.
They'd been rivals since childhood—each knew the other's power, every trick, every feint. At this rate, they could fight for three days and nights without settling a winner.
"Rias, aren't you going to use the Red Dragon Emperor's power? You've already lost a servant."
Sona's voice cut through the haze of magic, cool and unhurried as she paused mid-air.
"You're one to talk, Sona. Didn't Tenra share the White Dragon Emperor's power with you?"
"Hmph! Sona, you promised you wouldn't compete with me for Tenra!"
Rias shot her a glare, cheeks puffing with indignation as memories of Sona and Tenra's "incidents" flashed through her mind.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Rias."
Sona turned away, feigning innocence. Rias's teeth clicked together in frustration.
That Sona—still playing dumb!
"Fine, we'll settle the Tenra issue later. For now, let me show you what the Red Dragon Emperor can really do!"
Akeno was struggling on her end—there was no time to hold back. Rias made her decision. Power surged, a pillar of crimson light erupting skyward as her aura soared. Ornate red armor materialized, encasing her in the full majesty of the Red Dragon Emperor.
"So this is the Red Dragon Emperor's power… Impressive."
"Then I'll—"
Sona's lips curled into a rare smile. In the next instant, she unleashed the White Dragon Emperor's might. Azure wings of light unfurled behind her as a pillar of silver-white brilliance pierced the heavens. Piece by piece, elegant silver armor wrapped around her, transforming her into a vision of the White Dragon.
The girls' faces vanished behind their helms, but the curve of their waists and the flash of bare legs beneath the armor radiated both strength and beauty—a perfect fusion of power and grace.
"R-Red Dragon Emperor… White Dragon Emperor?!"
The crowd outside the dimensional arena stared at the projection, thunderstruck. Even Odin, perched on the VIP dais, arched an eyebrow in surprise.
"Sirzechs, those girls are wielding the power of the Two Heavenly Dragons, aren't they? I thought the Longinus that sealed them was taken by that Phoenix brat?"
Odin glanced at Sirzechs, curiosity piqued.
"That's one of Tenra-kun's abilities—he can share his Sacred Gear's power with others. Honestly, I only found out recently myself."
Sirzechs's eyes glinted as he watched the battlefield.
Odin nodded, settling in to watch, his interest only growing as the girls' battle escalated.
"Yo, little princess. Mind if I lend a hand?"
"Ddraig?"
Rias blinked as the dragon's voice echoed from the jewel embedded in her armor.
"We wouldn't miss a fight like this for the world. Albion's here too."
"Let's give it our all, little princess. Don't let them show us up."
Ddraig's presence flooded her with confidence. He and Albion had spent countless days sparring in Tenra's mindscape, but fighting like this—through their hosts—was a thrill all its own.
"Of course!"
Rias's eyes shone with renewed vigor.
"Nice to meet you, Sona Sitri. Let's have a good match."
Albion's voice rang from Sona's silver armor. Sensing the surge of power, Sona's heart pounded.
"White Dragon Emperor—Albion?!"
Her lips quirked higher, excitement bubbling in her chest. This was more than just a duel now—this was a battle between the Two Heavenly Dragons themselves.
Their eyes locked—crimson and silver, challenge and exhilaration sparking in the air.
No more words. In twin flashes of red and silver, they shot into the sky.
With the dragons' power fueling them, there was no need to hold back. This was all-out war.
"Boost! Boost!! Boost!!!"
"Divide! Divide!! Divide!!!"
Tens of thousands of magic circles blossomed across the heavens. On one side, a tidal wave of fire surged forth; on the other, a torrent of water crashed down. The sky split between blazing inferno and surging flood, colliding in a cataclysmic explosion.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
The sound was primordial—like the birth of a new world. The entire dimension trembled. Fireballs streaked like meteors, while raging waters slammed into the ground, swallowing everything in their path.
The spectacle was blinding, leaving the audience breathless. Cheers erupted from the stands, a tidal wave of awe.
"So this is what they call 'best friends to rivals'… or maybe something more," someone mused wickedly, watching the projection as Rias and Sona clashed in a dance of destruction and beauty.
Both were true prodigies—daughters of destiny. Their battle was a thing of elegance and power, far surpassing even Tenra's showdown with Vali. Spell after dazzling spell lit up the sky, each more breathtaking than the last.
But it wasn't just the kings who were fighting—their servants were locked in desperate combat as well.
With her nekomata powers unleashed, Koneko was a force of nature. Alone, she held her own against two of Sona's best, refusing to give an inch.
Xenovia faced off against Yura Tsubasa, while Irina battled Meguri Tomoe. As holy sword users, Xenovia and Irina had the edge—their opponents fought valiantly, but the tide was turning. It was only a matter of time before victory was decided.
Akeno, however, was in dire straits. As [Queen], she matched Shinra Tsubaki blow for blow, but with Kusaka Reya's support, she was outnumbered and outmaneuvered.
Still, if she could just hold out until her allies arrived, hope remained.
"Azure thunder, heed my call!"
Akeno's fingers stabbed skyward, summoning a barrage of lightning.
Tsubaki darted back, but Kusaka Reya stepped forward, unfazed.
"Garden of the Moment!"
Her artificial Sacred Gear flared, erecting a shimmering barrier. It wasn't as formidable as Tosca's, but it was more than enough to block Akeno's thunderbolts.
"Tch!"
Akeno's eyes narrowed in frustration, preparing another attack—when suddenly, Tsubaki's voice cut in from behind.
"Akeno Himejima, you're looking the wrong way!"
Tsubaki lunged, eyes flashing with cold resolve, her blade thrusting toward Akeno's exposed back.
Akeno twisted instinctively—
—but she was too late.
A sharp hiss—the sound of air being torn apart. Crimson droplets splattered in the sky.
