Short teaser.

There's almost no new info from this (just like vol. 20's preview was), but a few key choice of words leads to some interesting speculation.

Spoiler:

Issei and Vali, a Two Heavenly-Dragon tag-team!?

Ophis is dying from her serious wounds by Rizevim's trap. Issei ー who marched into Rizevim's stronghold ー confronted Nidhoggr who had been waiting for him. On the other hand, Vali stood opposite to Rizevim at last!

We should be getting the quotes in a week or less.

Spoiler for Speculation:

Everything after the first line looks to be a recap of the previous volume like vol. 20's was. But 3 different translations specifically mentioned Ophis dying... if that's the case, I hope that rather than fusing with Lilith to survive, there's some other alternative. Sharing power perhaps? And a minor risk of Lilith disappearing or something. Just plz don't take away my twin loli Dragon Gods ;__;

Spoiler for Re:volume 21 speculations:

Personally I doubt that there is any real threat of Ophis dying ... after the author changed the plot a little bit, due to her color illustration.

I also doubt that Lilith is actually going to fuse with her - or if she does, it will only be a temporarily time limited fusion, which is going to cause ... since Lilith also got an illustration in the LN ... and has a slightly different character design compared to Ophis.

What would be the point of doing this ... it it wasn't to show that she was meant to stay in the story for a longer period of time...

Furthermore I doubt that any of the two (Ophis and Lilith) are going to disappear ... since I think that the author / publisher knows the appeal that twins have on a certain part of the reader community...

So overall I think that this whole subplot of Ophis dying is just a plot device to turn Lilith to Ise's side for good.
