The plan is simple, steal the Excalibur swords to start a war against the angel and kill or at least take the younger sisters of Sirzechs and Serafall hostages to start a war against the devils. With these methods he can easily start the war against the two other factions. His confidence comes from the fact at the world war against Azrallia. Azrallia mainly focused on attacking the devils and angels instead of attacking the fallen angels. In truth the fallen angel population is larger than the devils' and the angels' populations. They lost a lot of their kind but not as much as the angels and devils. Kokabiel believed that with superior numbers he could easily defeat the other two factions. His plan was going smoothly but an unexpected event occured that shattered it all.

Azrallia

Never in his wildest dreams would he expect the Azrallians to be here, helping the devils. He was fully prepared to fight a maou or at least an ultimate class devil but not three Praetorian Guards and a Red Legion. Kokabiel himself participated at the war against Azrallia as a general of the fallen angels. Before the world war, he thought that the fallen angels would easily overpower and destroy the Red Legions and Azrallia but he was overconfident. The army that he was commanding was utterly destroyed by just a single Red Legion that is led by an Azrallian general that goes by the name Esdeath Jaegers. The Red Legion was terrifying enough but what makes it even more terrifying than it already is, is because it was led by a 'monster' as he would call that woman. He has never seen an army more terrifying than a Red Legion and he has never seen anyone more sadistic and merciless than Esdeath Jaegers. He could still remember when it was confirmed that she buried over 400,000 fallen angels alive.

And now an entire Red Legion is surrounding him and his fallen angel forces

"W-What the fuck is this!? Why are the Azrallians here!?" Kokabiel shouted

"We are here for one thing and that is to save these devils and protect this school" Veronica responded, shocking Kokabiel even more. Before he thought that the Azrallians have different motives but now that Veronica said it herself it became official

The Azrallians are in fact saving the two peerages

Meanwhile a certain blonde have widened eyes when he saw Issei

"I-Issei... Issei is that you!?" Issei turned his head at the call of his name and saw the shocked Saji

"Hey there Saji" Issei greeted

"W-What is these? Are these your allies?" Saji asked

"Well..." Issei tried to respond but was interrupted by Kuesu who answered instead

"We are all the Blood Lord's servants little devil. You will do well to remember that" Kuesu said with a threatening voice, sending a chill down Saji's spine

"Blood Lord?"

"Servants?"

Both Rias and Sona were confused at what they've heard. Since they were young they have no idea who or what the Blood Lord is and it shocked them that whatever Issei is how the hell did he have an entire army under his command. Not only does he have an entire army but he has some connections to powerful beings when they saw the Praetorian Guards around Issei when they stopped Rias' wedding

Just who and what is Issei Hyoudou?

"We will take care of this situation young devils, there is no need to waste your lives in vain here" Veronica said as she cast a sleeping spell on all the existing devils here before casting another spell that teleported them to a safe place

"What did you do Veronica?" Issei asked, he wasn't sure what Veronica did but it looked like she vaporized the devils

"Relax my beloved. I've sent them to a safe location. You need not worry and focus on the battle" Veronica explained as Issei sighed in relief

"B-Blood... Lord... T-The Blood Lord... is here?" Kokabiel could barely get the words out of his mouth. Seeing that the three Praetorian Guards, Veronica, Moka and Kuesu were surrounding Issei to protect him made it obvious on who's the boss

"Is it really the Blood Lord? Is that kid really the Blood Lord?" Kokabiel asked

"The one and only" Kuesu grinned. Kokabiel is certain now, he has absolutely no chance in winning. The only thing that's more terrifying than Esdeath, the general that he fought, is the Blood Lord, who was the only who created Esdeath

"Enough talk. Moka, would you please?" Veronica said as Moka bowed down with her hand placed on her chest

"Yes milady" Moka said before commanding the Red Legion to attack

At the Praetorian Guard's orders, the soldiers all advanced and killed the fallen angels and exorcists one by one. The cavalries charged and plowed through the crowd of exorcists like a furious storm. Feral beasts tore the hellhounds to shreds without mercy. Dead fallen angels were raining down from the sky. The fallen angel forces fought back but their spears bounced off the shields of the soldiers. Even though the battle was fierce the Red Legion soldiers maintained a disciplined formation, they didn't just blindly charged in, each battalion formed their phalanx and advanced in a solid single unit

Veronica had explained to Issei that commanding a Red Legion is just like playing the classified Azrallian board game, basically its played on an Othello Board and has all the Chess, Shogi and Go (Imagine Izaya's board game from Durarara). The general must view the battlefield as the board and the soldiers as pieces from three board games. The better you are at game the stronger your army's combat force. And judging on how well Moka commanded the Red Legion he already expected her to be an expert at the game. Veronica explained how the game

"What are you idiots doing!? Fight back! Protect me! Protect your master!" Kokabiel shouted at his losing forces

"B-But sir, we are heavily outnumbered and they our weapons cant penetrate their shields, we must fall back!" A random fallen angel responded to Kokabiel

"I don't think so" Kuesu said as she raised up her hand and shot a beam of crimson energy to the sky. Out of nowhere two powerful barriers appeared. One encircled the whole school of Kuoh and the other encircled the entire town

"Its a barrier!"

"We're trapped!"

The fallen angels cowered in fear as they were trapped and being massacred by the Red Legion. Kokabiel summoned an extra large light spear and shot it towards the barrier, hoping to destroy it but even with the light spear's destructive explosion it didn't even put a single scratch on the barrier

"Impossible!" Kokabiel shouted, his spear is completely useless against the barrier

"Foolish little dog. That barrier is made by one of my beloved's Praetorian Guards, the very ones that he personally hand picked to protect him. Something so little like that weak light spear of yours will never scratch it, so how can you hope to destroy it?" Veronica asked with a grin

"Believe it or not this barrier once held many gods, dragon kings and ultimate class devils in the past. Their attacks were powerful enough to crack and even make a hole on it but the barrier's regeneration kept it stable. This barrier is not something to be taken lightly" Kuesu said

The fallen angels threw their light spears at the barrier in desperation but it was no good. The barrier was so powerful, too powerful for them. The Red Legion kept advancing and advancing at the fleeing fallen angels as the carnage continues. Kokabiel finally got his wings out and flew off his throne when he saw multiple Azrallian soldiers approaching him. He threw a large light spear and eradicated a group of soldiers. Moka saw this and commanded the soldiers to form a phalanx and surround Kokabiel but when they did Kokabiel summoned a pair of light swords and slashed the soldiers in one swing

"It seems that our soldiers are no match against Kokabiel" Kuesu said

"It seems so" Veronica said as the Praetorian Guards watched the fallen angel destroying the Azrallian soldiers

"We should stop sending those soldiers to attack that guy, they're getting slaughtered!" Issei shouted

Veronica turned to him and smiled. "No need to worry yourself my beloved. You or any of your Praetorian Guards can resurrect them easily" Veronica explained

"But is that really fine? Yeah we could resurrect them but is it really ok for them to die like that?" Issei asked

"Dying for the Supreme One is an honor and even a dream of an Azrallian your highness. They would gladly die in battle for you or even kill themselves if you order them to die. And they will do it without hesitation" Kuesu explained

"Are they that loyal to me?" Issei asked, looking around the army

"Well, we are your creations after all" Kuesu said

Suddenly an unsuspecting attacker charged towards Issei and the Praetorian Guards

"Issei look out!" Saji shouted, causing Issei to turn around and saw a fallen angel upon him

"If I'll die I'm taking the leaders with me!" The fallen angel shouted as he threw a light spear towards Issei but a white light illuminated around the spear causing it to vanish into thin air

"What!?" The fallen angel attacker couldn't believe his eyes

"Did you actually think you could attack the Supreme One" Kuesu said as the white light on her finger tips faded. She was the one that banished the light spear

"Impaling Decimation" Veronica chanted the words and summoned multiple dark spears that all impaled the fallen angel's body. He screamed as he fell to the ground before his last breath. The dark energy from the spears spread throughout the fallen angel's cropse and it consumed it within seconds

"A lower life form such as a fallen angel is not allowed to touch my beloved, you little dog" Veronica said in anger, she was clearly annoyed at the fallen angel that attacked Issei

"Thanks Veronica" Issei said

"You need not worry, with three Praetorian Guards here by your side you are particularly untouchable" Veronica said before turning to Kokabiel. "Say my beloved, would you try and defeat him?"

"That guy?" Issei asked as he pointed at Kokabiel. "Are you sure I can take him out?"

"At your current level... no, but with some assistance like Kuesu you can. She will only assist you and will protect you from death but she will not protect you from harm. She will attack Kokabiel then and there but she will hold back her attacks, you will be the one to finish him" Veronica explained

"So... this is just training to me, huh?" Issei asked

"Of course, to ordinary peasants defeating a fallen angel such as Kokabiel is a great achievement. But you, the Blood Lord, dont consider such as thing a an achievement. After all, that mongrel dog is merely a fly if you have your full power" Veronica said

"Now that being said Supreme One, let us go and fight that fallen angel" Kuesu said as she levitated up

"Uhm... how do you fly again- woah!" Issei suddenly levitated upwards, he was taught by Kuesu how to fly to combat foes in the sky. At first Issei sucked at it, crashing to the ground multiple times but eventually got a hand of it. Although its not perfect its controllable

Both Issei and Kuesu flew towards Kokabiel as Moka ordered the soldiers to fly away from the area

"Why are the Azrallians siding with the devils!? If anything you should have sided with us! We should have crushed the devils and angels together!" Kokabiel shouted

"Foolish little fallen angel, Azrallia does not need any help from anyone. As long as we have our Supreme One, Azrallia will not fall!" Kuesu shouted as she shot a barrage of fireballs towards Kokabiel. The attack wasn't strong and Kokabiel was able to block it with a magic circle

"If I can kill the Blood Lord then Azrallia will be no more!" Kokabiel shouted as he threw one of his light swords towards Issei

"Shit!" Issei cursed as he barely dodged the spear. "Flying sure is hard"

"Eyes front Supreme One" Kuesu said as Issei saw Kokabiel charging towards him. Issei held out his hand and shot multiple spikes of blood that extended from Issei's hand and was approaching Kokabiel. Kokabiel swung his sword and destroyed Issei's attack. Issei responded with him creating a orb of blood that's the same size as a basketball ball

"Blood Sphere!" Issei chanted the words before throwing it towards Kokabiel. Kokabiel summoned a magic circle to shield himself from the attack but the orb of blood exploded on contact with the magic circle like a bomb, shattering it and slightly wounding Kokabiel

"You brat! I will- Agh!" Kokabiel was about to attack when a bolt of lightning struck him, knocking him back a few meters away

"Very good Supreme One, your power is developing nicely, especially the Blood Sphere" Kuesu praised

"I think I should attack him with my other abilities" Issei said as he flew forward towards Kokabiel who was growling at him

"This weak attacks... are you perhaps mocking me!?" Kokabiel asked, he knows that he's facing the Blood Lord and a Praetorian Guard so he fully expected maou-class power level from Kuesu and an even greater power level from Issei but these attack that he suffered cant possibly be at full power. Unknown to him Issei doesn't possess that type of power level yet

"A pathetic, warmongering fallen angel like you is not worthy of our full powers. We are just killing time by fighting you" Kuesu said with a prideful tone, hiding the fact that Issei is not as powerful as Kokabiel thought he is

Kokabiel growled in anger and summoned two light swords before charging towards Issei. Issei summoned a blood sword and collided his weapon with the fallen angel. They pushed each other with all their might with Issei slowly being pushed back. Seeing that he's slowly overpowering the Blood Lord made Kokabiel grin

"How pathetic! Is this all the Blood Lord can do?" Kokabiel mocked as he gave a final push and knocked Issei back. "It cant be right, this mustn't be the Blood Lord, this brat is as weak as a rat!"

Kuesu chanted some words from an unknown language before summoning a large ball made out of purple-colored lightning that's as big three meters-high boulders, and shot it to Kokabiel. She chanted more words causing the ball of purple lightning to multiply into a dozen. Kokabiel saw this and tried to flew away when the balls of purple lightning exploded, he was barely caught in the explosion but the purple lightning still reached his wings, reducing some them into ashes. Kokabiel screamed as he fell to the ground, unable to maintain his flight with damaged wings and crashed on the ground hard

"How. Dare. You. The Supreme One is beyond superior than just some sewer rat you lower life form" Kuesu erupted her colossal energy, its so intense and suffocating that all the fallen angels and exorcists except Kokabiel all fell unconscious due to the pressure. If not for the barriers that she created her energy would cause the entire town to suffocate into unconsciousness due to the pressure.

"Oh dear me, what did that fallen angel dog say to offend Kuesu like this?" Veronica asked as she stood side by side with Moka, both were watching the enraged Kuesu. Their hairs were shaking due to the energy that Kuesu was releasing

"Supreme One, I think you should hurry up and activate your new powers" Kuesu said

"Here?" Issei asked as Kuesu nodded her head. "Alright then" He said before he started concentrating. Crimson energy flared out of Issei's body. The glowing crimson runes appeared on the side of Issei's arms and his hair flared upwards after turning red

"Oh? What's this? Kuesu taught my beloved something interesting" Veronica said in amusement

Kokabiel also saw this and prepared himself to face Issei. Even though Issei's energy isn't that large his energy is sinister. Its more terrifying than Veronica's dark energy. If Veronica's dark energy is the darkness of the abyss then Issei's energy is the fires of hell

Issei opened his eyes and revealed that is pupils were blood red. "Bloodborn Drive!" He chanted. After fully entering this mode Issei's energy flared out, its not as huge as his Praetorian Guards' energies but its certainly more sinister. Seeing Issei like this gave Kokabiel goosebumps all over his body

"The transformation is complete but its not stable, his energy is flaring out like wildfire in a forest" Moka said after examining Issei's form with her eyes

"I see now, Kuesu didn't only summon the barriers to keep the fallen angels in, he created them to keep my beloved's energy in, to keep them from going out of control" Veronica said

Issei landed on the ground, a few meters away from Kokabiel before disappearing in a blur. Kokabiel then felt a sudden pain on his stomach and realized that Issei was right in front of him with his leg driven onto his stomach

"Gaaah!" Kokabiel was sent flying but was stopped when Issei appeared in front of him, grabbed his head and smashed it against the ground hard, creating a large crater. Kokabiel lashed out his light sword but Issei instantly leaned his upper body backwards and kicked the sword off his hand. Kokabiel used this chance to create some distance between him and Issei by leaping backwards but Issei disappeared in a blur and appeared in front of Kokabiel in an instant and landed a punch on him, however this punch was so strong that it pierced through Kokabiel's flesh like a sword

'H-How... can he... be so fast...?' Kokabiel thought to himself as he crashed on the ground, bleeding

"Now Supreme One, finish him" Kuesu said as she saw Issei flying upwards, right above Kokabiel. Issei held out his hand towards Kokabiel and summoned a large amount of blood that spiralled around the fallen Kokabiel with intense speed

"N-No... Blood Lord... have mercy! I could be of service to you! I can help you! I swear it! Just please... spare my life! I BEG YOU!" Kokabiel begged

Issei heard Kokabiel but he then remembered what Veronica told him. She told him that this person is a warmonger that wants to wage a war, wants to destroy the other factions, wants to kill soldiers and innocent people alike just to prove that his race is superior. Seeing Issei deep in his thoughts, Kokabiel flared out his remaining wings and flew towards Issei

"DIE!" Kokabiel shouted with a grin as he summoned a light spear and was about to strike Issei when all of the sudden...

STAB!

Kokabiel coughed a large amount of blood out of his mouth before he realized that he was impaled by something. He looked down and saw a spear... a light spear. He then turned around to see a black haired fallen angel woman who he recognized

"Ray... nare... Raynare...! How dare you...!" Kokabiel barely said as he crashed on the ground again and was back inside the spiralling blood

"Oh? What is this? Did one of his subordinates betrayed him?" Moka asked

"That's half true" Veronica said with a dark smile

"I see, so you manipulated that woman?" Moka asked, she perfectly knew that look on her mistress' face

"It was too easy. All I did was cast my mist, created some illusions and a little bit of wordplay and that woman was raging with anger. I expected her to blindly charge in and try to kill Kokabiel the second she saw him, however it seems she waited for the right opportunity to attack him" Veronica said

"And why did you manipulate that woman into killing Kokabiel? We could easily wipe him and his forces out like we're doing right now. We don't need to trick his subordinates to kill him" Moka said

"While I absolutely despise betrayal, seeing my enemies faces when they get betrayed by their own allies is certainly entertaining. You could say that I manipulated that woman just for fun" Veronica said with very dark smile. Moka smirked alongside Veronica, these women love to toy with their enemies, especially the ones who are ignorant scum

Kokabiel tried to stand up but a pair of slender hands wrapped around neck from behind and held him in place. Kokabiel saw the person responsible for this and it was Raynare

"You traitor! Unhand me at once! I'm giving you an order!" Kokabiel

"I've served you for so long and you threw me away like garbage! I will never forgive you for it!" Raynare said, her eyes were turning pitch black. As black as Veronica's dark energy. When Veronica fooled Raynare into thinking that Kokabiel ordered her death Veronica created a mist that transported her to an alternate dimension. But that wasn't all, Veronica also placed a spell on Raynare to slowly destroy her memories, the memories of her loyalty, the memories of her servitude to Kokabiel. All that's left is her anger at the so called 'betrayal' by Kokabiel

"You're attack is ready Supreme One, now kill them both" Kuesu said

"No wait! Blood Lord... no, your majesty! Please Spare me!" Kokabiel begged again

"The last time you begged, you tried to kill me right after. So why should I hesitate?" Issei said

"I wont do it again! I swear it! I will be of service to you! I will serve you well!" Kokabiel continued to beg

"If you're the one that's about to kill me you wouldn't even hesitate and finish me off, so why should I spare you?" Issei gripped his hand hard, causing the spiralling blood to close in around Kokabiel and Raynare and created a large whirlpool of blood. "Crimson Maelstrom!"

Kokabiel and Raynare screamed in agony as their own flesh was being torn into pieces, their wings ripped off and their limbs cracking. After a gruesome few seconds Issei deactivated his attack, causing the blood whirlpool to disappear. Kokabiel was there, barely alive but Raynare on the other hand was torn, her body was not as sturdy as Kokabiel's. Kokabiel's body was horribly wounded that it surprised Issei that he was still alive. Kuesu landed near Issei and healed him, also restoring his magic energy and stamina with her spell. Moka walked over to Kokabiel, who collapsed on the middle of the crater, and raised her hand to land a finishing strike

"Don't Moka" Veronica said as she walked towards them

"Why milady? Are you planning on releasing this warmongering filth?" Moka asked, Veronica never spared her enemy without a good reason

"Kuesu deactivate the barriers so that our visitor could join us" Veronica said as Kuesu bowed and dispelled the barrier. That's when a sphere of bright white light landed on the ground near them and revealed a person in full white armor with blue energy-like wings

"Who's that?" Issei asked

"That's the White Dragon Emperor, Supreme One. Within that armor is a semi-human, half devil and half human and the armor that he's wearing is his sacred gear" Kuesu explained

Issei recalled Veronica's teachings. The sacred gear are powerful artifacts that has been passed down on humans by the God of the Bible

"The White Dragon Emperor, what a surprise. We have heard that you're currently working for that sly fallen angel governor" Veronica said

"If you are talking about Azazel then yes, I am currently with him for now. He has ordered me to take in the mischievous Cadre here" The White Dragon Emperor said as he grabbed the destroyed Kokabiel. Veronica smiled and spoke again

"Its been a long time Albion"

"Yes, it has been, Veronica Sapphires"

The voice that came from the armor is a different one

"That is the dragon that resides in that boy's sacred gear, Supreme One. His name is Albion" Kuesu said

"Is he a dragon?" Issei asked

"He was but his soul was trapped within a sacred gear during the war. He was cornered by our enemies and chopped down into millions of pieces before they trapped his soul in a sacred gear" Kuesu explained

"How many years have passed since we last met?" Albion asked

"Exactly 482, it'll be 483 years within three months"

"You even keep track on something that little?"

"Of course, my beloved has blessed me with a magnificent memory and I have been doing my absolute best to learn as much knowledge as I can"

"Speaking of which, who is that boy that's near Lady Kuesu Jinguji?"

Issei realized that he was one the dragon was referring

"That would be my beloved, Albion" Veronica said, shocking Albion to the core. There's only one person that Veronica calls her beloved

"You mean... that boy is the... Blood Lord?" Albion asked

"My name's Issei Hyoudou, its nice to meet you... Mr. Dragon" Issei said, he wasn't comfortable speaking to a dragon. This is his first time meeting one even if he was speaking to its soul in an armor

"Hah... Hahahahaha! So the Supreme One has risen! Finally after a thousand years!" Albion said

"Albion, who is that boy?" The owner of the sacred gear asked. Albion tried to remain quiet but Veronica spoke otherwise

"No need to be secretive Albion, you can tell him" Veronica said

"But Lady Veronica... you yourself gave me the others not to tell anyone" Albion said

"And I, myself, am giving you new orders. Tell your sacred gear holder who you are" Veronica said, Albion was confused at this but couldn't really deny an order from Veronica Sapphires herself so he followed her orders

"Very well, I will tell him. That boy is my king Vali. My creator" Albion said

"Creator? What do you mean?" The owner, named Vali, asked. Albion tried to keep quiet again but Veronica spoke again

"Don't keep your holder waiting Albion, tell him" Veronica ordered again, and Albion obeyed once again

"I shall explain it to you once we get back" The dragon said

"Fine, I shall wait. I want to know why a being, as powerful as the White Dragon Emperor, have a king" Vali said

"One last thing Supreme One, I have a lead on Ddraig" Albion said as Veronica nodded her head

"Ddraig?" Issei asked

"I apologize Albion but my beloved has recently risen and has no memory of the past" Veronica explained

"Hmm, that must be why he acts so... different. Well anyway, I've found Ddraig. His current Sacred Gear holder is within the Khaos Brigade" Albion explained

"Oh, I've heard of them before" Veronica said with amusement. She knew that they have potential to become powerful and after the recent recruitments of powerful beings, her predictions are coming true. "So they just let him in just like that?" She asked

"Fortunately for us, yes. Ddraig's owner is arrogant but he's powerful. The leaders of the Khaos Brigade are thinking that they could use him as he posses the Boosted Gear. Hehe, they have no idea what's coming to them" Albion said

"Our kingdom has long been forgotten but elder beings such as the leaders of the factions still know about our power but even to them the Two Heavenly Dragons' true identities remained a secret" Veronica said

"Actually my current holder right now is planning a betrayal to join the Khaos Brigade" Albion said, shocking Vali

"Albion, what do you think you're doing, telling random people about my intentions?" Vali asked

"As I've said before that young boy right there is my king and I dont plan on not telling him or my superiors about my actions even if you're the one doing most of them" Albion said, shocking Vali again. Not only does Albion claim that, that boy is his king but the people around him are his superiors. Albion sensed Vali's shocked emotions so he spoke again. "I shall tell you everything but you have to keep it a secret. Trust me Vali, If I were you I'd rather anger your grandfather instead of angering Veronica Sapphires"

Vali was now really interested in this newfound discovery from Albion. He wants to know who these people are, especially Issei Hyoudou and Veronica Sapphires. He wants to know why Albion isn't afraid of his grandfather, who is considered to be a Super-Devil alongside the two maous Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub, but is rather afraid of this woman, Veronica Sapphires

"Albion, we should go now. Azazel must be waiting" Vali asked, he remained quiet the entire conversation but he had enough, his curiousity grew every word from Albion and these strangers

"Yes, we should"

"I will be expecting more reports from you Albion" Veronica said

"And I will surely provide them for you, milady. Farewell Supreme One, may we meet again" Albion said before Vali flew away while holding the almost dead Kokabiel

"Moka, gather the dead and return to Azrallia to treat the wounded soldiers. Kuesu, fix the place up and clean the dead fallen angels" Veroncia ordered

""Yes Lady Veronica"" Both Moka and Kuesu said with a bow

"You will return to Azrallia with Moka and the legion Kuesu, revive the dead soldiers. You will also return to Azrallia my beloved" Veronica

"What about you and the Supreme One Lady Veronica? Aren't you coming with us?" Kuesu asked

"I have to meet up with someone, an important someone" Veronica said as she disappeared in black smoke

00000

Minutes later a large magic circle appeared in front of the Kuoh Academy building. That's when Serafall and a decent amount of soldiers arrived, when they Serafall was confused as she looked around. The school was perfectly fine, no damages, no fallen angels, nothing.

"What is going on here Lady Serafall? Where are the fallen angels?" One devil soldier asked

"They were suppose to be here, weren't they?" Another asked

"Don't let your guard down, something's fishy here" Serafall ordered. The whole place was perfectly normal but she didn't let herself get fooled. She swore that Sona contacted her, requesting for help against the attacking fallen angels but not only are the fallen angels not here but also her sister and the others. Considering that Veronica forced her to accept the Azrallians' help that means she was the one responsible for this

Serafall's train of thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone fall on the ground behind her. She turned around and saw an unconscious devil soldier on the ground. A second later more and more soldiers were falling on the ground unconscious with their weapons dropping with their bodies. Serafall also sensed a powerful sleeping spell around the area but she was powerful enough to overcome it and maintained her consciousness

"Oh dear me, guess who decided to drop by" The second the last soldier hit the ground a female voice was heard by Serafall. The maou turned around to face Veronica Sapphires with a smirk on her face

"YOU!" Serafall's expression was quickly filled with anger at seeing this despicable woman, she was so angry that her massive demonic energy flared out around her body. Considering that Sona wasn't here and Veroncia is here then she surely did something to her sister. Serafall was more than ready to attack Veronica at any second now

"Such scary aura you're releasing" Veronica wasn't affected by Serafall's intense killing intent that was completely directed towards the Dark Lady. "Is that the expression you give to people to saved your sister and her friends?"

"You were the one who sent those Orc Hordes to attack the Sitri territory, weren't you? You planned all of these just to get your claws on my sister!" Serafall growled

"Oh dear me, why would you think such a thing?"

"You called me at the right time the orcs attacked. That was more than just a coincidence! Where is Sona!? Where are the others!? I demand you show them now!" Serafall demanded however Veronica just smiled and licked her lips. She could clearly see what Serafall was feeling right now through her eyes. Serafall was itching to attack her but if she did the dark lady would never tell where Sona and the others are.

"You are far too paranoid little girl, do you really hate for me to get closer to your sister that much?" Veronica asked but was responded with the whole school getting frozen in an instant, the ice avoided the unconscious soldiers on the floor however Veronica was forced to use her dark energies to shroud her entire body to protect herself from the ice at the last second, and judging by the force of the attack Serafall was at her limits

"Veronica Sapphires, tell me where my little sister is or I solemnly swear that I will rip your piece by piece until you tell me where she is!" Serafall's was releasing a large amount of energy that it cracked the ground and the school building nearby, it also effectected the weather, causing storm clouds to appear and strike down lightning and thunder

"Oh really? And why are you so sure that its possible for you to rip me into pieces? If I remember correctly, the last time that we've fought you utterly lost" Veronica said, it was true though. During the World War Veronica and Serafall fought in a death match. It didn't take that long for Veronica to defeat Serafall. Her ice was no match for Veronica's dark energy that is far superior to even the Bael clan's Power of Destruction. Her energy is capable of reducing powerful beings into absolute nothingness and the fact that Veronica has existed longer than her with more experience in battles decided the fight.

"That was centuries ago, I'm stronger now, way stronger" Serafall declared but Veronica just mockingly laughed

"Are you sure that you were the only one that grew stronger, little girl? Did you really think that after a thousand years I haven't sharpened my fangs? Did you honestly think that you grew stronger while I haven't? Oh dear me, you are truly foolish little girl" That's when Veroncia released her own massive energy and it was indeed far superior than Serafall's. While Serafall's energy cracked the ground and the school building Veronica's energy actually blew off the ground, creating a large crater around them and blew away the entire school building. The unconscious soldiers were blown away like paper and the ice that froze school shattered into small particles. Even Serafall herself was being pushed back from the energy alone, even forced to hold up her hands to shield her face

Veronica's energy also affected the weather but instead of normal blue-coloured lightning the lightning turned purple and it was striking down more violently than before, some lightnings even reached the ground around the two women. The storm clouds were spiralling around and forming an eye of the storm right above the Dark Lady. The storm didn't only affect the town but instead, it affected the whole country of Japan. Storm clouds appeared out of nowhere and started to roar purple lightning and loud thunder. From South to North, East to West, lightnign storms appeared throughout the country. Serafall can't help but admit that even when she indeed got stronger Veronica got stronger too, but unfortunately for the maou Veronica got way stronger. And the image of Veronica releasing this colossal amount of energy terrified the female maou

"Now, little girl" Hearing the Dark Lady's voice caused Serafall to gasp in fear. She widened her eyes completely as she saw Veronica directly in front of her within arms' reach. The dark energies that Veronica was releasing shrouded her entire body giving her a terrifying image and her glowing purple eyes were completely directed to Serafall's own eyes

"Are you gonna stand there or rip me piece by piece like you've said before?" Veronica asked, daring Serafall to attack her right then and there. Even though her whole body is completely numb due to the intense pressure that the energy Veronica was releasing, Serafall still gathered all her strength to try and cast an ice attack but failed. All of her instincts are telling her one thing, if she attacks she WILL die

All Serafall could do is fall to her knees and got in all four on the ground. That's when Veronica stopped releasing her energy which caused the multiple storms throughout Japan to disappear as well. Serafall was shaking violently while gasping for herand was sweating hard. She admitted that it was foolish to attack this woman alone. Veronica is the strongest servant of the Blood Lord, she should've expected this kind of power from her

"That's right little girl, this is how the world should be doing, kneeling before Azrallia" Veronica said as she looked down on the mentally defeated Serafall

Serafall clenched her fists on the ground, once again she failed to save her younger sister Sona from this vile woman

"Your sister is in good condition" Veronica said, shocking Serafall as the maou raised her head to see Veronica walking away. "We have treated their wounds and she along with her friends are currently resting in a safe place"

"A safe place? In Azrallia!?" Serafall asked

Veronica stopped and turned her head to flash a smile at Serafall. "Of course, where else would we take them?"

Serafall turned pale at knowing this. Her sister Sona was in, of all places, in Azrallia. Veronica shourded her whole body in black smoke before disappearing

"Wait! Stop!" The female maou cried but it was too late, Veronica was gone. Serafall cursed as she slammed a strong fist on the ground, erupting a shockwave all around her. To think that of all people to save her sister would be the Azrallians

Back at Azrallia, within one of the dungeons was Silvers Le Roux. His wrists were chained to the ceiling and he was hanging above the ground. His clothes were ripped and his body still has the wounds he recieved from Veronica. The purple-glowing energy around the wounds still prevented his cells from regenerating, thus preventing the wounds from healing. His arm was also reattached but his fingers were still missing. He raised his head as he heard the door opened and saw two beautiful women there and from the looks of it they were members of the ones that kidnapped him, the Daughters of Darkness

"Oh goodie, you're awake!" One of them asked, the Daughter was happy that their latest catch was awake after hours of unconsciousness

The second Daughter walked up to Silvers and put her finger on his chin, raising his head up. "You're cute..." The Daughter unexpectedly placed her lips onto Silvers while forcing her tongue in his mouth, however Silvers shook the woman away by turning his head side to side. Beautiful as the Daughters of Darkness are Silvers would never kiss a woman that is a part of a group that slices their enemies into pieces like they're cattle

"Hard to get, aren't we? It will be fun breaking your resistance" The Daughter said as she started licking and kissing the side of Silvers' neck

"Get your filthy hands off of me!" Silvers shouted as he shook around, trying to get the woman off of him but the Daughter just tightened her embrace and continued to pleasure his neck with her tongue. Seeing that the Daughter refused to let him go Silvers literally bit down on her shoulder and he bit her hard enough to spill some blood.

"Gaaah! It hurts!" The Daughter screamed in agony

Silvers expected this to push her away however...

"Aaah! Yeah, right there! Harder!" The Daughter moaned in pleasure. Silvers widened his eyes and stopped biting. "Huh? Is that all? Come on, bite me harder big boy. You were starting to turn me on back there, don't leave me hanging" The Daughter said seductively

"You get away from me or-"

"Or what? You gonna bite me again?" The Daughter wiped the drop of blood from her wound and licked it off her fingertips "Well come on, don't be shy. Try to bite harder this time"

Silvers looked at the Daughter, first they tried to slice him into pieces and divide his limbs for themselves and now when he bites one of them they're turned on? Silvers only concluded one thing, these women are INSANE!

"I swear I will get out of here and when I do I will kill all of you for hurting my friend" Silvers threatened, directing his entire killing intent at the two Daughters

"Your friend? Oh, you mean that blonde little knight" The first Daughter, the one that was standing on the side said. "We didn't hurt him that much, we just knocked him out"

It was true though, one of their 'sisters' attacked Kiba, licked him and knocked him out

"And don't even bother rescuing our sister's new toy. Or would he even agree to be rescued by you, considering that he's probably having the time of his life with our sisters. There's probably seven of them, maybe right or nine, I'm not sure" The second Daughter said as she tried to remember how many of her sisters are with Kiba right now

"You keep your hands off of Kiba!" Silvers growled but he heard a giggle from behind. That's when a new pair of arms wrapped around him from behind

"You're overly protective of that blondie, are you perhaps swinging that side of the plate?" The first Daughter whispered to Silvers' ear from behind him. Now Silvers is trapped between two members of the Daughters of Darkness

"Get away from me!" Silvers said as he shook around but both Daughters were physically strong and held him in place

"Don't worry cutie, if you are swinging that side of the plate we'll show you what women taste like" The second Daughter said as she approached Silvers' lips once more. Silvers tried to turn his head but the Daughter behind him held his head in place

But before the two Daughters could violate Silvers any further the door of the cell opened, catching all of their attention. When the daughters turned to see who it was a figure suddenly charged at them with great speed and slashed the Daughter in front of Silvers in two, her sliced in two corpse fell on the ground

"SISTER!" The Daughter that was behind Silvers screamed in terror before turning to the attacker in rage. "DIIIEE!" The Daughter roared in rage as she sent out a bolt of darkness towards the attack. But the attacker effortlessly dodged Daughter's attack and got behind her. The attacker didn't waste any time and cut the Daughter's throat from behind. Blood splashed out as her corpse fell on its knees and crashed on the ground

Silvers was just stunned at this. The attacker is a woman with curly blonde hair and was carrying a spear. She was extremely beautiful with a perfect figure and was wearing a black trench coat and skin-tight clothing inside. The woman walked towards Silvers and slashed the chains, shattering them and freeing Silvers. The woman then held a red potion to Silvers

"Drink this, it will heal your fingers" The woman said, Silvers hesitated at first but if she killed the Daughters then that means she could be a infiltrator, so Silvers decided to trust this woman, grabbed the potion and drank it. To his surprise his fingers did grow back but unfortunately the dark energy wounds from Veronica is still there

"Who are you?" Silvers asked

The woman smiled at Silvers and responded "My name is Vladima, I'm here to help you Silvers Le Roux"
