They ran toward the location where Valerie had become a captive, then they felt a huge tremor on the top of them. They felt that the ground was shaking and there was a lot of debris that had fallen from the ceiling. They knew that it was caused by the fight between Yuuki and Crom Crouch.

It was a fight between the two strongest beings and they couldn"t join or watch that fight.

Azazel sighed since he couldn"t watch while also starting his commentator to watch the fight between Yuuki and Crom Cruach. He also wanted to complain to Vali since that guy hadn"t come to this place at all. "We need to go as fast as possible." He felt that he had a bad forbearing about what was going to happen to Valerie.

They nodded and moved faster toward the underground area.

Rias, Akeno, and Xenovia could only hold back their feeling that they wanted to go toward Yuuki right now when they felt such a large tremor. They didn"t know what was happening, but they knew that their man wouldn"t be easily defeated.

"Wait? My man?" Xenovia suddenly became confused and looked at Issei. She thought for a while and thought that her head was quite hurt to think too much.

They didn"t spend a lot of time to arrive in the underground area. They arrived in a large field with a big altar in the center of it.

"Oya... Oya.... Have all of you arrived? Isn"t it a bit too early?"

They saw a man that had a face that resembled Valerie.

"Marius! Let Valerie go!" Rias shouted with a hostile expression on his face.

Marius sighed while shaking his head and said, "That dragon is sure useless that he can"t keep someone away for 10 minutes more." He looked at them and said, "Well, you can wait in his place while I"m doing my job." He didn"t care about them and continued to steal the Holy Grail from Valerie"s body.

"A - AHHH....!!!!" Valerie screamed in pain as Marius continued the stealing process. Her body couldn"t move and she could only scream in this case.

"Valerie!" Gasper was in tears looking at his friend who was screaming in pain. His body was shaking in anger and his breath started to become erratic.

"Let her go!" Rias shouted.

Marius didn"t turn his head and said, "Good grief, can you be more patient? The process is almost over." He didn"t really worry about his safety or the process of stealing Holy Grail since the altar was covered in a barrier.

[Balance Breaker!]

Issei was covered in crimson armor and was in rage looking at the scene in front of him. "Welsh Dragonic Rook!" He charged toward the altar and sent out his right punch.

*BAAAAMMMM!!!*

Xenovia and Kiba also weren"t silent and took out their swords at the same time.

Kiba created his most powerful sword and slashed it toward the barrier several times.

Xenovia raised both Durandal and Balmung and created two enormous light swords that entwined together, slashing it toward the altar.


Koneko transformed herself into a more wild appearance and raised her lance creating a blue light sword that moved it down toward the altar.

Akeno sent out powerful electricity power toward the barrier.

*Bzzzt!!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!*

Their attacks created a powerful impact and a loud sound even making the ground shake for a while showing how powerful it was.

"It"s useless." Marius was fully concentrating on his operation while answering them. "Just wait until I have taken out the Holy Grail."

"AHHHHHH!!!!!" Valerie kept screaming in pain.

Gasper was in despair when he couldn"t do anything and only watched his childhood friend being tortured.

"That barrier? How can you get such knowledge?!" Azazel said with surprised expression since he had only seen that barrier while the G.o.d of the Bible was still alive. He couldn"t believe that he had seen that barrier again. "Is Rivezim the one who has given it to you?"

"Yeah," Marius answered easily.

"d.a.m.n, is there nothing that we can do in this situation," Issei said with a frustrated expression. He had never felt this useless before, especially when he couldn"t save a beautiful girl in front of him.

"G... Gasper..." Valerie turned her head and looked at Gasper who was looking at her while crying. She tried to maintain her smile toward him since she knew that she couldn"t live that long.

"Valerie...." Gasper didn"t know what to do. It was very painful that he was very helpless in this situation. He also had his promise with Yuuki before to let him meet with Valerie, but if this continued he wouldn"t be able to abide by his promise. "Stay with me, Valerie! Don"t leave me!"

Valerie smiled sweetly looking at Gasper. She couldn"t feel any pain on her body, and she also couldn"t feel anything. She had lost all sense of her body and she knew that she would lose her life after this. "Gasper, don"t cry alright?"

"V - Valerie....." Gasper was too weak to stand to look at her friend who would lose her life.

"Hehehehe... I have got it! I have the Holy Grail," Marius said with a wide smile while holding a little cup in his hand.

Valerie started to lose consciousness at this moment, but she was still able to say some words to her dearest friend before she left him from this world.

"Gasper, I am happy to see you here....."

"I wish that I could be with you more...."

"Come to j.a.pan and do a lot of things..."

"Gasper, I"m sorry... I....."

Valerie"s eyes turned dim and her figure was similar to a doll whose string had been cut.

Gasper was filled with rage and shouted, "MARIUS!!!!"

Marius smiled and said, "Well, well, I"m happy that you have been very patient and wait for me in this perfect state."

Everyone who saw this guy"s expression at this moment would feel like they couldn"t wait to smash him. Their feeling was the same at this moment, they wanted to have revenge on this guy.
