The starry sky above had vanished, and when Serafall and her Peerage came to their senses, they were astonished to find themselves no longer in the realm of reality.
Surrounding them was a vast expanse of grayish-white primal chaos, and below them appeared a massive battlefield.
"Red Dragon Emperor, where are we?" Serafall asked, somewhat surprised but without any signs of panic.
"This is a temporary pocket dimension I created using [Fog of Extinction - Dimension Lost]. If we battle here, we won't have to worry about being interrupted by others," Tenraku explained.
"Hmph, then let's get started. Magic Girl Levia-Tan can't wait to eradicate the evil Red Dragon Emperor!" Serafall declared, swinging her star-studded magic wand and striking a cute yet cool pose.
Tenraku couldn't help but chuckle. This Demon King really never forgets her magical girl persona, does she?
"Okay, but before we begin the battle, let's confirm once again the price the loser will pay," Tenraku proposed.
"Ugh, you're so annoying, Red Dragon Emperor! Can't you hurry up?!" Serafall exclaimed impatiently, itching for a fight.
"Serafall-sama, I'm just being cautious. What if the loser refuses to honor the agreement?" Tenraku reasoned, watching Serafall's impatient demeanor with amusement.
"Fine, fine, you have a point. Let's confirm it again," Serafall conceded begrudgingly.
"If you lose, you'll have to annul the engagement with Sona-chan and never interfere with her again. If I lose, you can demand whatever you want!" Serafall reiterated their initial agreement with frustration evident in her voice.
"I've already confirmed my side, but Serafall-sama, are you sure about yours?" Tenraku asked, raising a valid concern. "Though I admit your strength is formidable, I'm not weak either. If I win, you may not be able to bear the consequences of my victory." Tenraku nodded and kindly reminded her.
"That damn Red Dragon Emperor, do you really dare to think you can defeat Levia-Tan?" Serafall retorted angrily. "For Sona-chan's sake, Levia-Tan will never lose!"
As if hearing the world's biggest joke, Serafall couldn't help but feel exasperated.
"Serafall-sama, overconfidence can lead to arrogance. You might regret it later," Tenraku cautioned.
"I'll state my terms as well. If I emerge victorious in this battle—"
"Red Dragon Emperor, you shameless scoundrel!" Serafall's face flushed with anger. She never expected this audacious scoundrel to set his sights on her, the Demon King!
Even though she had already pledged herself to Sona-chan, even though she already had Rias-chan and so many other women.
Obscene, shameless, greedy... At this moment, all the words to describe villains seemed fitting for this Sex Dragon Emperor!
"If Serafall-sama can't accept it, we can cancel this duel. But in that case, please refrain from interfering in my affairs with Sona-chan in the future," Tenraku said casually, shrugging.
"Never!!!" Serafall exclaimed vehemently. "Red Dragon Emperor, I will never hand Sona-chan over to the likes of you!"
Determined, Serafall decided she would teach this despicable Red Dragon Emperor a lesson, defeat him thoroughly, make him beg for mercy on his knees, and then reveal his evil, greedy nature to Sona-chan!
With a slight smirk, Tenraku knew this was the outcome he expected.
"Now that Serafall-sama has come to her senses, then—"
"We shall battle!" With determination soaring, Tenraku simultaneously activated [Gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor - Boosted Gear] and [Light Wings of the White Dragon Sovereign - Divine Dividing], instantly donning a red and white Heavenly Dragon armor that enveloped his form.
"Sasazi, stand back. I'm going to teach that despicable Red Dragon Emperor a lesson!" Serafall declared, her body emanating vast and terrifying magic power.
A chill ran through Serafall's Peerage as they recognized their master's genuine anger.
"Serafall-sama..." They hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, the dozens of magic girls took flight and landed in a safe distance away.
This time, the Red Dragon Emperor had truly gone too far. Let him taste some hardship for once.
Though Serafall-sama was usually approachable, the dignity of the Demon King was not to be trifled with!
In the sky, Tenraku and Serafall stood face to face.
Their auras clashed, sparking intense flames in the air.
"Red Dragon Emperor, face the judgment of the Magic Girl!" Serafall acted first, raising her magic wand towards the sky, unleashing an endless barrage of thunder and lightning.
Crackling thunder and dazzling lightning intertwined and exploded, spreading rapidly throughout the entire space!
Taken aback, Tenraku immediately dodged and shifted, but it was futile. The thunder and lightning struck him relentlessly through his armor—
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Even Tenraku couldn't help but let out a scream. The sensation was incredibly electrifying.
Although the thunder and lightning attacks didn't last long, Tenraku managed to endure. However, when he looked down at the ground below, his eyes widened in shock.
The battlefield he created was completely useless and had disappeared. The land below was torn apart by countless blackened chasms from the thunder and lightning, resembling the aftermath of doomsday.
"Hey hey, was that really necessary?"
Just a casual strike had such terrifying power. Is this the true Demon King?
"Red Dragon Emperor, where are you looking?" Serafall grew furious at the thought of Tenraku being distracted during their battle. She swung her magic wand again, unleashing another spell.
A massive magic array unfolded in the void, and countless fireballs rained down like meteors.
With no rhyme or reason, it was an all-out bombardment from every direction!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions filled the entire pocket dimension, turning it into a sea of fire.
There was no point in dodging; Tenraku could only rely on his intrinsic barrier to withstand the onslaught. However, several massive wind blades pierced through, shattering his solid barrier!
"Damn it!"
Nearly struck by the wind blades himself, Tenraku spread his Dragon Wings and flew directly towards Serafall in the distance, disregarding the fireball attacks.
It was time to show Serafall the might of his iron fist!
"It's useless!"
With a sneer, Serafall erected a magic barrier in front of her, and Tenraku's charging fist collided with it.
Boom!
