Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Alluring Angel. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DxD, Ichiei Ishibumi and a few others do.
Rias was thrown backwards by the burst of energy. She conjured a shield to protect herself.
"Death to House Gremory!" Rias heard one of the priests' bellow.
"What is the meaning of this?" Rias asked the duo. "You really wish to die?"
The two priests looked at each other, then Rias. It started to dawn on the duo the situation as adrenaline wore off.
"Die, devil!" The priest yelled at Rias. he raised his shotgun before the wall exploded behind them.
"Thank you, Koneko", Rias muttered to Koneko. The Rook easily punched one of the two priests into the wall.
The other man raised his pistol only for a wave of energy to throw the man through the wall. He rolled along the ground, lifeless.
"We found the Fallen Angels", Koneko reported to Rias. "I think we should call Corvus back now."
Rias sighed. Corvus leaving was supposed to allow her to get her affairs in order. Rias nodded and looked at Koneko.
"Go get Akeno." Rias ordered Koneko. "I'll go and see how bad things are outside."
Rias flew outside before another explosion cut her off. She wobbled in the air only slightly. Her wings kept her afloat. Rias noticed a squadron of Fallen Angels divebombing the school, Light Arrows raised.
"Damn it!" Rias muttered. She flew off towards the roof, wondering what to do next.
"How did so many soldiers get inside?" Rias asked herself as she bobbed in the air.
"Because the sword you had captured had a curse placed on it." Rias heard before turning around. "I waited till that filthy hybrid left to launch this siege, beautiful, isn't it?" Rias heard from an old voice.
"Kokabiel…" Rias whispered in a tone reminiscent of a hiss. "How are you here? You were defeated during the war." Rias stated before a chuckle cut through the air.
She was cut off by the leathery flap of wings. Rias glared at the figure who wore a long swept back black coat along with ash black shoes. Rias could easily tell it was Kokabiel because of his charcoal black wings. She was reminded of Corvus, though he didn't have a desire to slaughter people.
"Oh, my benefactor had me released. They… well, I was told not to reveal anything about them." Kokabiel said. he grinned as Rias looked at the Fallen Angel Noble.
Kokabiel flexed his wings. Rias watched as a massive wave of black spots exploded from his wings at her.
Rias summoned a shield as the needle like objects flew at her. she quickly noted they were feathers, something Kokabiel hadn't the ability to do before.
She was thrown across the roof. Rias watched the feathers demolished the roof, smashing the stone to rubble and raining debris into the building.
"You know, 'Lady Gremory'? I expected far more from you when I attacked here." Kokabiel stated with a chuckle. "I expected much, MUCH more than this." Kokabiel hissed out as he landed.
"Well, I'm glad you're disappointed." Rias put in. She dusted off her shirt. "You want my brother, don't you?" Rias asked. she cracked her fingers and prepared for a fight.
She wished she had more soldiers, but she decided to leave that to her brother.
"I suspect Lord Gremory is too busy to come?" Kokabiel asked as he drew a light sword from his hands. "I'm disappointed he considers me so pathetic not to show his face." Kokabiel added with a chuckle.
Rias summoned her magic to her. Kokabiel was far too powerful to defeat easily. That meant she couldn't coordinate the defense of the school.
"Well. You said it, not me." Rias said. She felt a smirk pulling at her lips as she dodged a swing of his blade before twirling around. Rias fired a wave of energy from her fingers.
Kokabiel growled while he slammed his blade into the ground. He stopped about a foot from the edge of the roof.
"You blasted woman. I gave you too little credit when it comes to battle. I might just enjoy this." Kokabiel stated with a grin. "Ready to die in glorious battle, Lady Gremory?" Kokabiel asked as he flew towards Rias.
Rias dodged a slice of his blade. The man was insane, but skilled at combat. She was going to put all her skill into defeating him.
"No. I plan on defeating you right here," Rias put in. She grinned with amusement. "C'mon, unless you're scared." Rias added, knowing for a fact that the warlord wanted battle.
She would greet him openly. Rias knew her experiences with rating games meant she was able to hold her own in battle.
"Funny, and yet I thought all my friends would get to miss out," Kokabiel said as he snapped his fingers and a squadron of his Fallen Angels descended to the ground.
Rias looked at the group with slight uncertainty.
Author Note
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Rias and Corvus will be officially together after this arc. Next chapter will be in 2 weeks or so and will show Corvus returning along with the beginning of Rias fighting Kokabiel before fighting someone else… soon. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
P.s: Akeno and Koneko or Kuroka and other stories are in a few weeks.
