"With this," I replied quickly, my magical energy forming a barrier-like 'transparent wall between us and the rest of the group watching the situation on the stage unfolding.

Cao Cao had started with the event, mentioning early on some thanks to those that had come there for this 'important event'.

The speech was a lengthy one, my attention completely taken away as I had my entire focus channeled in keeping the Darkness Shroud going as we slowly started to made our way down the stairs.

The metal groaned a little at our careful steps, but soon enough we ended up standing close to where the cage was.

Ingvild had slowly moved towards the only closed door of the cage, her lips still withholding any noise that could mess up with the state of this awkward operation.

At least she knew how things were instead of saying anything that could screw things up right now.

The shroud kept up as we stopped by the door, my hands reaching for the lock as I carefully pressured some of my own magic to force the magical seals within the cage itself to slowly break.

It was a slow process, a painstakingly slow one to booth.

I could feel my heartbeat and the sound of a distant clock tick-tocking from afar. My senses were heightened by my panicked self, my face burning an unnerved red as I continued to keep up both spells running.

I could hear Cao Cao moving his loud voice to discuss the inclusion of the three new members, mentioning once again how 'bad and ugly' the Christian Pantheon was and how their group wanted to change the world for the better.

Yet he was so keen to have a young woman imprisoned like this for the sake of abusing her powers for the 'Greater Good'.

With my nervousness peaking even more, I finally felt the metal giving away as the entire sealing array collapsed shortly after.

A sigh of relief left my lips as I saw the young woman slowly released by her constraints, with Ingvild carefully placing down her former chains without creating any unwanted noises before walking towards the now open door.

Clever girl.

She was trembling a little as she let my arms take hold around her neck and I started to whisper to her.

"It's alright, we are going to take you out of there," I muttered, drawing a blink from her. "But you need to keep quiet once we are fully out. We don't want to hurt you, Ingvild."

She tensed up at being mentioned the name, and I was glad that Vali couldn't hear what I was saying. Still, the plum-haired girl gave a quick nod at my request and I slowly unraveled the embrace as I turned around and…

I spotted a small finger pressing now on my mask.

The accusing index was owned by a dull-looking young girl with a goth-like dress and hair-piece. She was giving me a blank look, a hint of curiosity lingering in her pitch-black orbs.

"Intruders."

My Darkness Shroud collapsed instantly at that word uttered by the calm-looking Ophis.

My brain was melting, my eyes were wide open and…

Crack!

My mask had cracked a little at that simple touch.

The attention of the rest of the room was now onto us and… I felt like this was the greatest mistake I could have ever pulled.

Vali was tense too and… we were encircled by beings far stronger than us, while Ingvild latched afraid at my back.

Goddammit, why did they have to kidnap her so suddenly?!

----------

Despite the fact I had been so careful to avoid meddling too deeply within the various paranormal affairs of this crazy world, I still found myself shocked and impressed by how messy my karma was right now.

Or at least, how much it was currently screwing up with my little efforts.

I thought that I had been perfectly aware of the dangers of trying to save Ingvild. The girl's importance because of her special ability making her somewhat of someone that had to be removed from the clutches of the Khaos Brigade.

I thought that Cao Cao plus the rest of the Hero Faction here reunited would have been a big problem, a difficult one considering the multitude of various heroic descendants currently lingering around that were allied to the pompous jerk.

The wielder of the True Longinus had stopped with his speech, glancing at the small group formed by me, Vali and Ingvild with a mix of interest, anger, and confusion.

We weren't supposed to be there. 'Intruders.'

And while I should carefully provide attention to the dangerous fellow, my real worry was the one that was still pressing her index finger on my cracked mask.

Ophis looked… normal. And by normal I was referring to her usual blank expression that she used to have in Canon before actually getting fascinated by both Issei and Vali.

Two particular hosts for two Sacred Gears that contains the powers of two rival dragons that had some unique potential to not only keep up with both her and Great Red, but also surpass them by sheer ingenuity and power.

The plot in Canon had allowed Issei to comfortably approach Ophis without having to truly worry about serious repercussions, with his abilities having reached well above what he was expected to achieve with his opportunities.

But now? I didn't have a Sacred Gear, my powers weren't even enough to keep up with Vali's Balance Breaker, and… I didn't have anything that could actually dent at the goth girl's defense.

The Dragon of Infinity, the one that should technically love more neutrality than active involvement in mortal affairs, was driven by the desire of pulling Great Red out from the Dimensional Gap that she once called her home.

She was born there, she grew there to this state of consciousness, and then she was yanked away from it after brawling with the sudden invader.

Ending up here, Ophis spent years adapting to the novel situation, waging some silent war against Great Red even thought she lacked the means to actually win that kind of match.
