"Ding! Sixth-Tier luck acquisition complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The Eye of God."
Hmph.
Since this mission's objective was to defeat Vali, Hiro wasn't surprised.
Still, after hearing the reward, the face hidden beneath the crimson mask lifted slightly, curiosity surfacing.
This thing only had two known types in the original work.
Is mine one of those, or something entirely new?
Using the blue pupil icon representing the Eye of God in the system item bar, Hiro condensed a small water mirror in front of him, opened his mask, and looked at his eyes.
They hadn't changed at all.
Which led him to a tentative conclusion.
This closable Eye of God only granted the corresponding abilities. It didn't replace his eyes with actual "prosthetics."
If his eyes really had been replaced, he would've removed the Eye of God without hesitation and left it to rot in the system warehouse.
Unless he were cornered with no other options.
Only then might he consider taking it out again.
His eyes were perfectly fine.
Why would he replace them with a prosthetic made by some unknown "god"?
Whether it was true-name sight or divine-level illusions, neither was something urgent or irreplaceable for him right now.
So why bother?
Casually dispersing the water mirror, Hiro willed it.
In the blink of an eye, his brown pupils quietly shifted into deep blue, filled with mysterious patterns.
His gaze swept across the figures rushing toward him.
Rias Gremory.
Akeno.
Sona Sitri.
Each name quietly floated above its owner.
Not only that.
After being looked at by Hiro, Sona in front and Rias behind both stopped several meters away at the same time, speaking toward the empty space before them.
"Hiro-kun, thank you so much for helping us this time."
"Hiro, are you hurt? Do you need Asia-"
The Eye of God of Leonardo.
The Eye of God of Illusion.
That ability was there too.
As for the others, they hadn't been discovered yet.
That thought passed, and Hiro closed the system-produced Eye of God, releasing Rias and the others from the illusion.
Mangekyō Sharingan plus the Eye of God.
If all three eye-based abilities were activated together...
What kind of incomprehensible pattern would his eyes turn into?
"Eh?"
Rias looked at the empty air in front of her, then at Hiro smiling a few meters away.
She immediately understood what had happened and puffed out her cheeks slightly.
"Seriously. I was worried you might be injured after fighting two major enemies, and this is how you respond? Do you have any conscience at all?"
The slightly delayed Akeno also caught up, a familiar dark smile appearing on her face.
"Ara~ Rias, the way you put it sounds just like an abandoned wife. If I had the chance, I'd really love to record that."
After being tricked by Hiro again and again, Rias rolled her eyes at Akeno, clearly annoyed.
"Hiro-kun's actions were indeed inappropriate."
Hearing even the usually composed Sona Sitri say that, Hiro immediately raised both hands, smiling awkwardly.
"Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. It's just that your expressions were a bit too serious earlier. I wanted to lighten the mood. Don't mind it, don't mind it."
Clack.
As he spoke, sensing that there would be no more fighting, Hiro retracted the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, revealing a young man whose appearance wasn't even slightly disheveled.
Seeing that he wasn't injured at all, Rias finally felt a bit relieved.
She pointed down at the silver-white figure below, a Holy Sword embedded in his abdomen.
"Kokabiel was killed by you. And this white guy is probably this generation's White Dragon Emperor, also handled by you. So now the question is-what do you plan to do with him?"
"White Dragon Emperor?"
Sona Sitri murmured softly, understanding dawning.
So it was because of the Heavenly Dragons' so-called destiny again.
"Hm."
Staring at the motionless figure that looked almost dead, Hiro tilted his head.
"Killed?"
Rias pressed her fingers to her forehead, her expression saying as expected.
"Didn't he say earlier that he was a Sacred Gear user sent by the fallen angel governor, Azazel? His original purpose was probably to retrieve Kokabiel, but now... Can you stop killing people so casually every time?"
She wisely skipped describing Kokabiel's current condition.
Sent by Azazel.
Hearing that, Sona felt a small shock.
Her gaze toward Vali turned complicated.
The Red Dragon Emperor had always been aligned with devils.
The second Red Dragon Emperor could be considered the same, at least for now.
So this generation's White Dragon Emperor...
Fallen angels?
"Then let him go."
Hiro reached out with his right hand, grasped, and drew Ascalon back into his system space.
He also removed the gravity magic suppressing Vali.
Whoosh.
Without the Anti-Dragon Sacred Sword and the magic restraining him, the wound in Vali's abdomen immediately began gushing bright red blood.
Even without Rias reminding him, Hiro hadn't intended to kill Vali.
No matter what, he had some connection to Vali's stepsister, Lavinia Reni.
Unless Vali truly crossed the line, Hiro wouldn't go that far.
Besides, letting Vali go had another meaning.
"Vali. I have some acquaintance with Lavinia. I'll let you off this time. When you go back, tell Azazel who sent you this: next time we meet, I'll need his help with something. Nothing too difficult."
Clutching his bleeding abdomen and barely standing, Vali didn't respond verbally.
He simply nodded.
Lavinia.
A girl's name.
Watching Hiro's profile, Rias muttered inwardly.
"You can still leave on your own, right?"
Hiro glanced at Vali's right hand, soaked red, and asked.
"Don't... underestimate... me... Red Dragon Emperor..."
Vali forced out the words in three separate breaths, clearly at his limit.
"Then go."
Hiro waved a hand, too lazy to heal him.
Being a devil.
The White Dragon Emperor.
Pierced by Ascalon.
And still able to leave on his own after several minutes.
As expected of Lucifer's bloodline.
Watching Vali fly away, Hiro thought to himself:
Today's pitiful diary entry-
Every day, people in the comment section flame me from different angles, with different wording.
