Kumiko 3rd POV
She couldn't believe it. The Blackstone tracked her like she was an animal and caused her to show her embarrassing form to Vali and to reveal their hideout to a devil, who can show it to other devils.
"We need to find a new place for our hideout" stated Vali "I just hope that he hadn't saw it"
"Don't worry about it" replied Glarion "I've placed a hiding spell on it, only those I want can see it"
"I can find a new place" said Arthur as he got up before teleporting himself.
"We can still take the tree with us, right?" asked Bikou while pointing to the Gorgona Oak.
"If it can shut you up, then yes, we can take it with us" answered Vali "Now we have more urgent matters" he then glanced at Kumiko "It seems like devils are after you"
"You shouldn't be surprised, The Oni are all an extinct race, the surviving ones became little familiars that can be found in the Familiar Forest. Those aren't like the warriors of the old times, just a little familiar that can keep an eye on someone or something, and set traps" explained Kumiko.
"Which means that they'll try again and again until they get you" stated Glarion.
"Bloody hell…" mumbled Lifain "We need to find somethin' to protect ya"
"I've already searched and I found something that might be interesting" said Glarios, getting the attention of Vali "When I was on the run from the fallen, I had to live in a cave for quite some time, and I've found something that can easily protect someone if asked"
"Are you sure?" asked Vali.
Glarion nodded before adding "I don't know what it would ask in return, but…"
"Take us there" said Vali "I'll deal with it"
Glarion sighed before teleporting them to the cave.
-Scene change: Abandoned cave in Iraq-
Glarion, vali and Kumiko appeared in front of a statue.
"Who's that?" asked Vali.
"Nergal-sharezer, a Babylonian King" answered Kumiko "Also, one of the most powerful users of The Myre's Discipline"
"Follow me" said Glarion while walking more in depth of the cave until they found a traditional three-face Greek drama mask, the three faces represent a warrior, an inventor, and a sorcerer; all of them sharing a set of four eyes. The middle two eyes glow a bright cyan color. Its body was formed by many rocks, bushes, and vines. He only had a hand and foot were made of bronze.
"Eisvoleís" it said with a deep voice "Prépei… na katastrépsei…"
The creature rolled itself and launched itself toward the group. Glarion sighed before holding out his hand. His hands became vines and caught the stone creature. Vali used his Balance Breaker and hit it, blowing the stone creature to chunks.
"That's it?" wondered Vali.
The parts began to repair themselves and formed the giant.
"A golem" muttered Kumiko as she walked toward him "Unlike the one of before, it seems like this one is a war golem"
The golem walked toward the samurai before kneeling "o vasiliás mou…"
Taken by surprise, Kumiko turned to Vali. "He called you 'My king'"
"That's not the problem, I already understand the Greek language" replied Kumiko "It's just that it… it felt my gear and thought that I'm Nergal-sharezer"
The golem looked at her before rising again "Poies eínai oi entolés mou…"
"For now… follow me" said Kumiko, unsure of how things will go.
-Scene change: Vali's team hideout-
Once they returned with the golem, Li Niang quickly rushed at it looking at the golem with awe.
"Talk about a rock head" joked Bikou.
"Ye can say that 'gain" added Lifain while approaching it.
"When Arthur comes back, I'll go to that place and ward it against any outsider" stated Glarion.
-Time skip: morning at the school gate-
Kumiko walked with Li Niang next to her until she noticed that the girl disappeared and she knew why.
"Good morning, ho-" he didn't have time to finish his greeting as he was sent to the ground with a good punch.
"Don't do it again" growled Kumiko before continuing her way.
-Time skip: after the first course-
Li Niang 3rd POV
Since the teachers had something to do, they were present only for the first course, leaving the rest of the day free for the students.
"Li" called Koneko, gaining the attention of Li Niang.
"What?" she replied.
"Can you come with me?" asked the white-haired girl.
"Where?" asked Li Niang before adding "Is the girl eater going to be there?"
Koneko simply looked at her with confusion before realizing what she meant as she shook her head "He won't be there"
Li Niang smiled as she followed her to the abandoned building, she then began to feel a little sleepy before falling asleep.
"Buchou… maybe this isn't a good idea" mumbled Koneko.
"Don't worry Koneko, we won't hurt her, but she would be a good bait" replied Rias.
-Scene change: School gate-
Kumiko 3rd POV
It has been now 30 minutes since the first course ended, the samurai was waiting for Li Niang but she wasn't here, she also wasn't in her classroom and she wasn't answering her phone.
"Where is she?" mumbled Kumiko with a worried tone before hearing her phone ringing "Yes"
"How are things going?" replied a feminine voice that she knew.
"What do you want?" she asked with hostility in her voice.
"We have someone that you may or may not know. Here's a hint: can kill with one hit" replied Rias.
"I see" mumbled Kumiko "You have a death wish, right?"
She hung up before giving Rias a chance to say something.
-Scene change: ORC club room-
Koneko 3rd POV
She was feeling a bit guilty since she was the one who brought Li Niang here.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Xenovia.
"Being cornered like that doesn't leave much of a choice" replied Rias.
"I hear something," said Koneko, getting the attention of the others.
The wall was destroyed as a Shugoki walked through it.
"I'm going to m-" she didn't have time as pain gained her attention.
Rias threw something before that many devils appeared through magical circles.
"What's the meaning of this?" asked Deven.
Rias simply passed him a piece of paper he read over it before his blood ran cold.
"You can't approve that, can you? CAN YOU?!"
"This my brother's orders" replied Rias.
"Something is coming!" snapped Koneko while looking up as a rock landed next to her.
This wasn't good.
POV-DEVEN
Deven sat up after being floored by the samurai. He was not surprised though, he did deserve it. He was about to try and apologize for what he thought of as just a prank when he felt a sudden pull. The kind you feel when being summoned. 'Apollyon? Do you know what that is?' *it seems that he has awakened….* 'what has awakened?' *back when I was alive, I had a pet wolf. A strong one, it was equal in strength to your full strength balance breaker in its base form.* that sounds like something Deven would like to have. "...where is it?" he asked out loud.
TIME SKIP
Deven had followed the directions given to him by the old warden and found the ruins of a large stone castle. "What the hell happened here?" * there was a siege on my castle, one that ended in my sealing.* he ventured into the ruins and followed a set of pretty intact stone steps down into a cavern. He came upon a set of magically sealed stone doors. The pull was very strong. He suddenly felt like he knew what to do.
He placed his hand on the stone door. "Aperi, quia legitima est dominus." The seals began to shatter and the stone door slid open.
Inside he saw a large, monstrous creature. It locked eyes with the knight and stood on its hind legs to full height.
This damn thing was twice his size! The creature's mouth opened. "Pro certo scirem, quod est habere potentiam ad dominum meum."
Deven smirked. He activated his balance breaker and grew to equal the creature in height. He held out his hand to the creature. "Arcum tuum in conspectu domini." The creature growled and charged.
Deven bashed it back with his shield. He blocked several attempts to turn him into cheese then bashed again. "Non hic mihi fecisti? Dixi salutare!" upon hearing the knights powerful voice, the creature obeyed.
"Hm, good dog," he said before patting its head.
