The concentrated beam of fire was moving at a speed that was impossible to follow.
Vali couldn't dodge as this attack was moving so fast, and it swallowed his body, causing him to be in intense pain due to being burnt.
"ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!"
"Vali!"
Albion, the soul of the White Dragon Emperor, resided on the "Divine Dividing," screaming as it thought about his host's pain.
Yet, even worse, even with the white dragon armor, it was unable to stop the heat of this huge, concentrated beam of fire.
The flame swallowed Vali's entire body as he was burnt and grilled under his armor, and he could only scream while using his Demonic Power to protect his body.
Kokabiel, who saw Vali easily defeated by Riser, was in despair, yet at the same time, he was begging Riser to stop since even if the fire was quite far from him, the intense heat was too much for him to handle!
Meanwhile, the others had already used a barrier to protect themselves, yet watching how his fire easily burnt the White Dragon Emperor and created lava as it touched the ground, they could only gulp.
By now, they wondered if his fire was even stronger than the Red Dragon Emperor.
"Vali!"
Albion kept screaming Vali's name so Vali wouldn't lose consciousness. Frankly, it had to admit that Riser's flame was scary and probably even stronger than its rival, yet how could it wish for Vali's defeat?
This wasn't the place for his host to fall!
"Did you forget what you want to achieve? Are you going to fall into this place? Wake up, Vali!"
At that moment, it was like something was broken within Vali.
The injustice he faced... his ambition... and all the things that he wished to accomplish as the descendant of the true maou and the host of the white dragon emperor.
Yet, how could he lose like this?!
Vai had a lot of things to achieve, and there was no way for him to lose to a no-name like Riser!
[Divide! Divide! Divide!]
"Divine Dividing" in the Balance Breaker state gave him the ability to divide the power of his opponent continuously without waiting for ten seconds.
Due to that power, the power of the beam of fire was continuously halved, making its power weaker and weaker, yet at that moment, the dazzling white flame grew even more dazzling and stronger.
"What—?!"
As Vali was concentrating on erasing the power of this attack, the sudden increase of power startled him and made him unable to react.
Even worse, the dazzling white color of the flame started to change, and slowly, it turned into a blue color.
At that moment, all of Vali's resistance was meaningless.
His armor melted like hot chocolate, and as it was made of metal, it grilled his body from inside.
Nevertheless, Vali still resisted.
Yet, how long could he do it?
There was no doubt that Riser had a full intention to kill him.
There was no mercy.
Everything was done smoothly without any hints of hesitation.
His power aside, his mindset was one that made him different from others.
Yet, Riser just wished for a peaceful life, and he was going to end everyone who had caused him trouble.
Nevertheless, he thought that it was only a time before he got his reward.
Reflector.
As expected, it was also an ability.
The ability was quite good as it allowed him to store and reflect back on any attack that the opponent landed on him.
If there was a drawback, he was required to take damage.
Yet, who was he?
He was Riser the Phenex.
The damage was nothing to his immortal body.
Moreover, he also gained a "Crisis," an ability to make him stronger as he was beaten.
Nevertheless, everyone in this place could tell who was the victor of this battle.
There was no need to guess anymore as everything was evident in their eyes.
Yet, at the same time, it also brought them a clear understanding of Riser's power.
Facing Kokabiel, the legendary figure of the fallen angel, and Vali Lucifer, the host of the White Dragon Emperor, Riser could defeat them with ease. Even now, they couldn't even see him break a single sweat, even though this heat was so unbearable.
Yet, at the same time, standing by his side also gave them ease and peace as his existence was so dazzling and reliable.
Nevertheless, everyone could only look at Sona's jealousy as they knew no matter how much they tried, it was impossible for them to own him as he was owned by her.
Still, many of his lovers accepted it as they came into this relationship, knowing the hardship behind it.
Yet, Rias was still unable to bear it as everything was supposed to be hers!
However, while everyone thought he was already determined for Riser's victory, Vali, who was about to face death, realized all of that. When he was about to die, he felt the world was moving so slowly that he could capture everyone's expression at that moment.
Their confidence in Riser, their belief in his defeat, and some of their gloats.
Vali could see all of that, yet the one that he hated the most was Riser's indifference, as if he was sure of his victory.
It was as if... he was nothing.
He was just a bug that was on the side of the street.
When he died, he would be forgotten like any others who left the world without leaving anything.
At that moment, he realized that he was about to die.
'Ah... I'm going to die, huh?'
"...."
"HOW CAN I ACCEPT ALL OF THAT?!"
At that moment, the power within his body burst out as it tried to push away the concentrated blue flame.
Even if his body was scorched like coal, he didn't give up and continued to fight, yet facing Riser, whose demonic power had increased dramatically with the "Overtime," all the resistance was meaningless unless—
"Albion, can you stay with me."
"Yes, Vali."
Albion knew what Vali was planning to do.
Vali knew what he was going to do was nothing but commit suicide.
Yet Albion knew that Vali had no choice.
If Vali died, then that was it.
However, as a proud dragon, how could it die meaninglessly?
As the host of the White Dragon Emperor, how could Vali accept such a death?
If he died, then he would bring Riser with him, making all the people in the world know what the horror of the White Dragon Emperor was!
As for his fateful duel with the Red Dragon Emperor?
Vali didn't care about any of that!
What he wanted to do was to beat the shit of Riser!
Vali's resistance was about to be broken, and the blue concentrated fire bream was about to swallow him once again, but then—
I, who am about to awaken,
<They are going to be blasted away!> <They certainly are going to be blasted away!>
A song echoed through space.
Am the Heavenly Dragon who lost all to the principles of supremacy
<The dream will end!> <The illusion will begin!>
The powerful aura swept over everyone.
I envy the "infinite," and I pursue the "dream."
<Everything! > <Yes, give us everything!>
The blue fire-concentrated beam was blocked by Vali's aura at that moment.
I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy
''And I shall take you to the limits of innocence.''
Vali and Albion's voices were heard in tandem.
"JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!"
