"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!!" The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon roared at the invaders before it, then spat terrifying hellfire toward the crowd.
Georg stepped forward first to deploy magical defenses. His repertoire was vast, including Norse formulas, Devil formulas, Fallen Angel formulas, Black Magic, White Magic, Spirit Magic, and more.
But to Georg's surprise, the hellfire spat by the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon directly incinerated his magical formulas until nothing remained.
"This dragon's flames can even burn magic!!" Georg watched as the magic he took pride in was burned away, his pupils dilating in horror as he spoke.
"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!" The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon slithered toward Georg. The snake-eye ruby on its head emitted an eerie red light, its gaze locking onto Georg. It felt like a mental attack, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
"Georg!" Seeing that her companion had no intention of dodging, Jeanne stepped forward and pulled Georg out of the way.
Pulled to safety, Georg felt a bit dazed. He shook his head, then placed a hand on his forehead as sweat dripped down, thinking to himself:
'What's wrong with me? Could it be caused by that red snake-eye on the dragon's head!?'
At that thought, Georg warned his companions: "Everyone, be careful! If you're caught in the gaze of that snake-eye on the dragon's head!! Your mind will feel as if it's been petrified!!"
"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!" The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon seemed to have locked onto Georg, continuing its charge toward him.
As Jeanne watched the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon rush toward them, the closer it got, the more they could feel the intense heat of its flames. Large beads of sweat constantly rolled down their foreheads.
Unable to endure the terrifying temperature, Jeanne activated the Sub-Species Balance Breaker of her Sacred Gear, Blade Brave: Stake Victim Dragoon. A dragon formed entirely of holy swords appeared.
"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!" The Stake Victim Dragoon charged at the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon, which in turn coiled around the Stake Victim Dragoon. The temperature of the hellfire on its body rose sharply, and the body of the Stake Victim Dragoon was burned by the terrifying hellfire.
Within seconds, the Stake Victim Dragoon melted directly into a pool of molten iron. The dragon then turned its predatory gaze back toward Georg and Jeanne.
"Jeanne! Its flames can even burn through magical formulas! Your holy swords are completely useless against it!!" Georg shouted from beside Jeanne.
As he spoke, countless magic circles appeared around Georg once more. Then, a freezing wind blew out from the circles, hitting the body of the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon.
"Roar roar roar..." The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon let out a faint wail. Then, as the cold air dissipated, the hellfire on its body was completely extinguished, leaving it looking like a plucked tiger.
Seeing the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon's appearance, everyone wanted to laugh out loud, but they all covered their mouths to hold it in, their shoulders shaking up and down.
Buzz buzz buzz—!!
As if noticing the crowd's attitude toward it, the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon grew furious. The hellfire on its body reignited, even more intense than before, like an enraged lion.
"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!" The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon let out a furious roar. Within the roar, a terrifying sea of fire swept toward the crowd.
The group was bathed in the terrifying sea of hellfire, the moisture in their bodies constantly evaporating from the extreme temperature. Cao Cao looked at Georg and said:
"It seems your move only made it angrier."
On the other side, Heracles looked disheveled and incredibly weak. Stende lifted Heracles with one hand and said:
"You are not that Heracles who completed the twelve impossible labors. I thought you had inherited your ancestor's great deeds and power, but you are nothing more than this!"
"I'll make you regret saying that..." Hearing Stende's words, Heracles opened his eyes in anger, his whole body erupting with a powerful aura, but this aura was not enough to threaten Stende.
Stende tossed Heracles aside with one hand. The resulting gust of wind happened to blow out the hellfire surrounding the others.
"Heracles!!" The members of the Hero Faction shouted in concern as they saw Heracles embedded in a tree.
At this time, Stende also ran over, waving his hand to command: "Go! Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon, destroy these fools who have offended Lord Hades!!"
"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!" The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon roared in response, spitting its strongest flames toward Issei Hyoudou and the others.
Seeing this, Georg quickly deployed magic circles for defense. Since ordinary magic circles would be burned away by the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon's fire, he could only release ice-type magic to counteract it. Even so, the dragon's flames were still more powerful.
If Georg hadn't been using his full strength, everyone would have been roasted into charcoal sooner or later.
Georg gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping as he shouted to his companions behind him: "Go, quickly! I'll hold off the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon!!"
"Georg!!" Issei Hyoudou and Cao Cao shouted in unison.
At this moment, Heracles also emerged from the tree. Although he looked weak, the fighting spirit in his eyes hadn't diminished in the slightest. He clenched his fists tightly and said:
"I'm staying too. I have a score to settle with that Stende."
"Heracles, you too!!" Issei Hyoudou looked at Heracles in disbelief. Why did this Underworld keep making him lose his comrades, companions, and friends? Was it because he was too weak?
"Go!" With a wave of Georg's hand, a magic circle expanded, and a powerful whirlwind flew out, blowing Issei Hyoudou and the others straight to the border between the Fifth Hell and the Sixth Hell.
"Break for me!!" Stende shouted loudly. The intensity of the fire from the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon's mouth increased significantly. The flames reached directly in front of Stende, and then Georg teleported next to Heracles with a spell.
Stende looked at the ground burned by the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon's fire. When Georg and Heracles appeared before him, he asked them:
"Where are the others?"
"They've all gone to the next hell. Only Heracles and I are left here," Georg said as he stepped forward. Beside him, Heracles also clenched his fists, looking at Stende and the Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon with intense fighting spirit.
"Hmph~!! Clever fools!!" Stende snorted coldly at their actions, then immediately rushed forward. A terrifying purple phantom of a beetle appeared behind him.
The Serpent-Eye Flame Dragon followed closely behind Stende. Heracles stepped forward to meet the attack, while Georg provided support from the rear with magic.
Instantly, the entire Fifth Hell was filled with the sound of explosions and the flashes of magic.
