Chapter 29: Meeting Gone Wrong? A New Threat In The Underworld?
~Underworld~
Night
Somewhere in the Underworld, there was a small figure walking towards the buildings that houses all of the Devils. He stopped before he looked up at the pentagon-shaped wall that surrounded the said houses.
"These houses look nice. Sadly, they will be destroyed along with this world. Everything will be destroyed to nothingness." A smirk made its way on the figure's face as a pair of yellow eyes glisten in the dark. "Soon… The destruction of the Underworld is inevitable. The Devils won't know what hit them…"
~Kuoh Academy~
Night
"Do I have to wear this?" Izayoi asked looking at himself from the waist up, as Rias and Grayfia stood in front of him while looking at the outfit he wore.
"Yes, Izayoi-sama. Since you are married with Rias ojou-sama, you have to wear it. Anyway, you two matched with your current attires." Grayfia said with a small smile looking at the black tailcoat donned on Izayoi, who matches with Rias's dress. "But I'm interested on how did you get your dress, Rias ojou-sama?" She questioned as Rias smiled at her. After their first date, they bid farewell to the four girls, who knew that they had the meeting between the Three Factions, to which they wished the couple for the best. After the four girls left to their home, she and Izayoi walked towards Kuoh Academy. Along the way to the academy, Rias spend her time recalling about her first date. And she thought it was perfect for her and Izayoi. Especially when she saw the picture of them smiling at each other after they kissed in the café. She will never forget that moment which was a perfect moment for them. And she hoped that their future dates after this were as a perfect as this one.
"I know a tailor. He makes incredible dresses for girls." Izayoi answered with a smirk as Grayfia slowly nodded in acknowledgment.
"Then, I must compliment on his achievement. He must be a professional tailor to have done such a great dress." She complimented looking at Rias's black dress. "If possible, I would like to meet this tailor sometime. He may be a great addition to some of the Gremory's clothing." She explained.
"I'll get in touch with him." Izayoi stated as Grayfia nodded in appreciation.
"I appreciate it, Izayoi-sama." She said with a bow of her head before she lift it up and look at the married couple. "Okay then, you two are ready. You can go now. I'll be waiting." She said before she left the room to wait for the two.
"You look really dashing, Izayoi-kun." Rias said as she brush her hands over his shoulders and sleeves, straightening his coat.
"You look really beautiful, Rias." Izayoi complimented with a smile as Ria smiled with a tiny blush on her cheeks. She then grasp his cheek and pressed her lips on his. After a while, she pulled back with a smile.
"Thank you, Izayoi-kun. Let's go before we considered late by the meeting." She stated as Izayoi smiled.
"Then, the Prince and Princess shall depart." Izayoi said offering a hand to Rias, who gently took it in her hand. The two then walked out of the room and look at the people gathered in the room.
"Are you all ready?" Rias asked her peerage as a wave of nods greeted her which caused Grayfia to summon a white big magic circle in front of her.
"Gasper, look after the place for us okay?" Rias asked.
"Okay." Gasper said inside a box.
"It'll be bad if your powers suddenly activated there. Please understand." Rias explained as Izayoi looked at the blond haired look alike girl that came out of the box.
"Is she a he?" Izayoi asked as everyone look at him.
"Izayoi-senpai, how did you guess?" Issei asked.
"Well, he uses a boy's name." Izayoi answered as everyone look surprise.
"That's all?" Issei asked.
"Yeah. That's all. Also, he doesn't have breasts of a girl." Izayoi answered as Rias look at him in amusement.
"How do you know?" She asked.
"I just know." Izayoi said with a smirk before he look at Shirayuki-Hime, who was next to the standing Koneko.
"Don"t worry, Izayoi-sama. I got it under control here." Shirayuki-Hime said to him as Izayoi nodded.
"Koneko will be with you. I leave him to both you and Shirayuki-Hime." Rias stated to Koneko.
"Hai, Buchou." Koneko answered.
"Gasper, be a good boy okay? I'll lend this to you?" Issei said as he gives Gasper a blue handheld game console to which he took it.
"Yes! Thank you very much, Issei-senpai!" Gasper thanked him.
"I've also prepared lots of snacks." Koneko said putting a box full of snacks on the desk behind Gasper.
"Thank you, Koneko-chan!" Gasper said as Issei sweatdrop.
"I think they were meant for her to eat." Issei thought before he realizes something. "I've also leave the paper bag here. Wear it anytime you feel lonely." He said showing Gasper the brown paper bags with eye holes on it.
"Hai!" Gasper said with a smile.
"Good boy!" Issei exclaimed as Izayoi look out through the window of the clubroom, feeling something was going to happen during their meeting.
"What's wrong, Izayoi-kun?" Rias asked as Izayoi look back at her.
"Nothing." Izayoi answered as Rias raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"I've got a bad feeling about the Divine Dragon user." Izayoi said as Rias look at him in slight surprise. "He's hiding something. Something big." He added recalling a nekomata words to him.
"Why don't you guess on who's our leader, Izayoi-kun nya~? If you guess it right, I might give you a treat for taking care of me. It'll be worth your troubles. A resistance will rise. But you have to find out for yourself, nya~"
"Resistance..." Izayoi thought before he focuses at the task at hand which was the meeting. He looked at everyone, "Let's go. We got a meeting to go to." He said as everyone nodded and followed Grayfia, who led them to the entrance of the meeting room.
They then arrived outside the door to the meeting room. There were two maids that were standing beside the doorway. When Izayoi and Rias step forward towards the door and stopped.
"Rias ojou-sama. Izayoi-sama. Welcome." The maids greeted at the same time as Izayoi and Rias smiled at them. Then, Grayfia walked pass the married couple and open the door for them to enter. Once they enter through the doorway, Izayoi smirked at the people gathered in the room.
"It looks like everyone is here." Izayoi said as Sirzech smiled from his seat while Azazel cast a playful smile at him. Izayoi then cast a quick glance at Vali, who stood behind Azazel before he focuses onto Serafall, who was beaming at him.
"Izayoi-kun! Rias-chan!" Serafall greeted with a smile as Izayoi smiled at her followed by Rias.
"Hello, Serafall-sama." Rias greeted back.
"Irina?" Xenovia asked as she looked at Irina, who was standing behind Michael. Irina wore a small frown before she turns her head away from her.
"Let me introduce them. The lovely red head lady is my younger sister and these are the members of her household. And beside her is my brother in-law, husband to my sister." Sirzechs introduced as Irina held a shocked look, not knowing that Izayoi had been married. "They were the one's who participated in stopping Kokabiel's assault. But the one who defeated Kokabiel himself is my brother in-law, Sakamaki Izayoi." Sirzechs said with a smile, gesturing his hand at Izayoi.
"Good work, everyone. I would, again, like to give my gratitude to you all. Especially, you, Sakamaki Izayoi. I heard a lot about you from one of the subordinates." Michael said as Izayoi raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry about that. It seems we caused quite a bother before." Azazel said as Izayoi smirked at his rudeness. "But I would like to say that It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Sakamaki Izayoi. Prince of Destrution. Along side with your dear wife, Rias Gremory, Princess of Destruction." He greeted with a smile. "My name is-" Azazel was interrupted by Izayoi.
"Azazel. I know. The Governer General of the Fallen Angels." Izayoi stated.
"I'm honored that you know of me, Izayoi. It's easier that way and it didn't waste any time." Azazel explained as he sits and gestured his hand at the two seats beside him. "Shall we start the meeting then?" He asked as Izayoi sit beside him while Rias sit next to her husband and Sirzechs.
"We can start." Izayoi answered as Azazel smiled at his answer and everyone focuses onto the meeting. Meanwhile outside of the school were dozens of Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels guarding the school in the sky.
"We'll start the first talk about the appearance of one of my subordinates sent to kill a Sacred Gear wielder. Her name is Raynare." Azazel explained as Issei grit his teeth at the mention of her name, unaware he took a step forward.
"Issei." Izayoi called out as Issei look at him. "Don't be a fool." He said as Issei looked down but he glance up at Azazel with narrow eyes.
"It looks like you can order someone from your wife's peerage. I thought only a King can command their members." Azazel mocked as Izayoi smirked.
"What? Jealous? I don't care what you say, Fallen Angel. The past is in the past." Izayoi remarked back.
"Heh... I'm starting to like you, kid." Azazel said as Sirzechs look at her sister and nodded at her, giving her the signal to present. Rias nodded before she stood up and walk to stand beside the meeting table, followed by Akeno, who stood next to her.
A white screen appeared above the meeting table.
"May I have your attention and look at the screen?" Rias asked before she started her report.
~Asuka's Home~
"What are you doing here, Sala?" Leticia asked as she stood beside Sala, who was sitting on the roof in the night sky. She was staring at the night sky, watching as one of the stars shine one by one.
"Watching the stars. I never got a moment of peace like this in the Little Garden. Except in the hotsprings." Sala explained with a sad smile.
"Do you miss the other world?" Leticia asked as she sit next to her and look at her.
"A little. Mostly because I'm worried about my Community and especially, my sister and brother. I want to know how are they doing..." Sala explained.
"What about this world? Do you not like this world than our world?" Leticia asked as Sala chuckles and look at her.
"Are you kidding? I love this world already." Sala answered with a smile. "Asuka and Shirayuki-Hime treated us nicely and Asuka let us stay in her house. I don't know what to give her in return for her hospitality. And I get to shop for clothes I rarely did in Little Garden." Sala explained smiling at the memories she experienced today.
"And? I don't think that's all of them." Leticia said with a smile, as Sala look at her in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Sala asked.
"We got to meet Izayoi." Leticia said as Sala's eyes widen and then they soften as she nodded at her statement. After that, she turns towards the stars above the night sky, followed by Leticia.
"You're right. We got to meet Izayoi." Sala said with a smile as Leticia smiled along. "I'm glad I met him." She thought as suddenly her heartbeat quickly hammered inside her chest. "Huh?" Sala unconsciously touched her rapidly beating heart, feeling strange that it would beat quickly all of a sudden. "Is this happening when I think about him?" She asked in thought.
"Sala." Leticia called out staring at somewhere, presumably at Kuoh Academy which had a massive purple barrier that covered the whole academy. As she stared at the barrier, she didn't hear Sala answering to her call to which she look back at her and watches on as Sala stared down at the roof. "Sala" Leticia called out putting her hand on Sala's shoulder, which breaks her out of her thoughts.
"Huh? What?" Sala asked turning to look at Leticia.
"Are you alright, Sala? Is something bothering you recently these days?" Leticia asked with a raised eyebrow as Sala shook her head but she could see a tiny blush on her cheeks, which made her question her obvious lie.
"Really? Then, why is your cheeks pink?" Leticia asked with a teasing smile as Sala went to touch her cheeks with both of her hands., feeling it slightly warm. Then, Sala pulled her hands away from her cheeks away and look at Leticia to answer.
"I'm assure you, Leticia. There's nothing going on." Sala answered but Leticia wasn't convinced yet.
"I'm not convinced, Sala. Is there something your hiding?" Leticia questioned with a playful smile.
"No. I assure you." Sala answered before she look at the Kuoh Academy from her spot. "That's where the Meeting between the Three Factions is commmencing. I hope the three sides can hold a truce to one and another." Sala explained as Leticia look at her, still not convinced on her answer. But she nodded at the statement of the Three Factions, hoping that the three of them could hold peace like Sala said.
"Yes, but for now we just have to wait for the results of the meeting in session." Leticia explained as the two of them look at Kuoh Academy.
~Meeting~
"Those are all the facts that I, Rias Gremory, and my household members can state in regards to the accident." Rias finishes.
"I, Sona Sitri, attest to the fact that the report they have submitted is valid and true." Sona stated.
"Thank you, you two are done for now." Sirzechs said as Serafall smiled behind her.
"Thank you, Rias-chan, Sona-chan." Serafall said as Sona's eyes widen before she walk away with a tiny blush on her cheeks.
"I would like to ask the opinion of the Fallen Angel's Governer General, with regards to Rias's report." Sirzechs said to Azazel.
"I don't really need to say anything, it was an independent course of action by him anyway." Azazel replied.
"So you state that you had nothing to do with it?" Sirzechs asked.
"I simply allowed him to do what he wanted until his objective became clear. Although, he didn't seem to anticipate that I would infiltrate the city as well. This city is quite interesting, I'd say." Azazel stated with a smile causing Issei to grit his teeth.
"Please don't stray from the topic at hand." Sirzechs said to Azazel.
"I even requested that the White Dragon Emperor to fix things up, didn't I? And I had him sent to the lowest levels of Hell in an eternally frozen state. I doubt he'll ever escape from there." Azazel exclaimed.
"The main issue here is the motive for the actions he took. I've heard that Kokabiel feels quite unsatisfied with you in general, is that correct?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, he's sore about the fact that the great war ended half-assedly. I'm not really interested in war anymore at this point." Azazel stated with a smile.
"So he treated you as the unsatisfactory element, eh?" Serafall asked with a serious look.
"It seems that all of you have different issues as well, right?" Azazel asked as Serafall lightly glare at him.
"That is not related to the case at hand. The objective of this meeting is to..." Sirzechs was interrupted by Izayoi.
"Is to make peace, right? Call it a truce correct?" Izayoi asked making himself known after he heard all the details from everyone. "I assume by your decision to come to the meeting, you want to declare peace. Isn't that right, Azazel?" He asked as everyone held a surprise look.
"That's correct. This meeting was originally meant for that, right? I trust you all want that, right?" Azazel asked with a smile as everyone look at him while Izayoi looked out through the window of the room.
"The three powers as we are now would only cause a negative influence on the world. Don't you all agree?" Azazel asked.
"The Great Demon Lord and God, who were the center of the last great war, are no longer here." Michael said as Asia looked down which Issei notices.
"Irina... So they've told you after all..." Xenovia thought looking at the frowning Irina.
"Which is why, I would like to hear the ideas of these two, who are not directly associated with the three main powers, and can potentially affect the entire world with their capabilities. The Red Dragon Emperor. The White Dragon Emperor. What do you think?" Azazel asked as he glances at Vali behind him.
"I'm fine, as long as I can fight someone who is strong enough to face me." Vali said.
"Hah! Even without a war, there are still many powerful ones out there. Like, Izayoi." Azazel said looking at Izayoi, who in turn looked at him.
"Thanks. But I don't think the White Emperor can fight me on equal grounds. I think he'll just be destroyed by me." Izayoi stated as Vali look at him pointedly which he noticed. "Don't remember much, do you? Is your armor alright after getting a small crack on it?" He mocked as Vali glared at him without saying in defence. "I thought the White and Red Emperors were strong individuals and can surpass a Satan. But I don't think I'd be this disappointed by the results of their fight." He said as Vali took a step forward as Izayoi smirk. "If you want, I can arrange the fight right now. I'll be generous and use my right hand only. How about that?" He mocked which are getting on Vali's nerves.
"That kid really knows how to get on people's nerves." Ddraig said inside Issei's head.
"Well, that's Izayoi-senpai. But I don't know..." Issei said.
"What aren't you sure of?" Ddraig asked.
"If you and Albion were to fight Izayoi-senpai. Who will win?" Issei asked as he was only met with silence from Ddraig. "Ddraig?" He called out.
"I'm afraid to answer, partner. But that senpai of yours has powers that are beyond my understandings. And I can honestly admit that he would beat both me and Albion if we were to fight. Also, he had fought with Great Red which is the most powerful Dragon in the world. I doubt we'll be of any equal to the kid if he can survive fighting with the Great Red." Ddraig explained.
"Just how powerful are you, Izayoi-senpai?" Issei thought as he glances at Izayoi, who was sitting on his seat while facing Vali, who was glaring daggers at him.
"Since that's been cleared, what about you, Red Dragon Emperor?" Azazel asked to Issei. "What are your thoughts?" He asked.
"Um... Well... I can't really answer such a serious question right away." Issei answered.
"Okay then, brace yourself as I try to explain. Hyoudou Issei. If war erupts because of us, you'll never be able to make love to any women. However, if peace is declared here, the only thing you need think about is your lover's blessings and fortune." Azazel explained.
"Lover's blessings?" Issei asked with a perverted smile.
"You can copulate with her pretty much every day, at your own pace." Azazel said as he looked at Asia, who was strangely flustered. "With peace, you can make love to her. Without it, you cannot. Well? It's easy to understand now, isn't it?" Azazel said as Izayoi threw something that hits directly at Issei's forehead, breaking from his perverted thoughts.
"Don't even think about anything perverted while we're in this meeting, Issei." Izayoi said as Issei looked down while rubbing his sore forehead. Issei pulled back his hand and open his palm, revealing a golden button.
"Also, Izayoi. With peace, you can have your alone time with your wife. Make love to her. Don't you agree?" Azazel asked as Rias's eyes widen.
"What are you saying?" Rias asked with a tiny blush as Grayfia sighed at Azazel's statement.
"Heh... If there is a war going on, I'll bring peace to it. It's that simple." Izayoi said with a playful smile as everyone looked at him, including Michael.
"How do you plan to do that, If I may ask?" Azazel asked.
"By beating the most powerful opponent there is. I'm sure you three are powerful, right? If you can't make peace, I'll just force you to make peace." Izayoi said as Azazel, Sirzechs and Michael smiled at him.
"Well, that's a way to end a war." Azazel said as he laugh.
"If no one can stop a massive scale war between the Three Factions, I'm certain that it will be you, Izayoi." Michael said with a smile
"I wouldn't mind fighting you again, Izayoi. But I'm sure I'll lose by my brother in-law again. Not to mention I have to be force to wait for two weeks to even move properly." Sirzechs said as he glances nervously at Grayfia who looked pointedly at him. "Hahaha..." He laughed awkwardly.
"I would prefer if you don't be too stubborn like last time, Sirzechs-sama." Grayfia said as Sirzechs nodded at her.
"O-Okay." He replied.
~Underworld~
The figure from before, looked up at a specific area which was a deserted grassland area, full of grass. A smirk made its way onto his face as a little surge of red lightning appears above the area. After that, it was followed by another spark of red lightning.
The figure looked back at where the home of thousands of Devils lived in. He knows that it was matter of time before the portal was fully operational but that time will be the only remaining time that this world would cease to exist.
"Just a matter of time... Nobody can stop it... Nobody..." The small figure said with a smirk.
Meanwhile somewhere in Ajuka's Mansion...
"Hmm...?" Falbium stood up from his seat after sensing something strange a split second ago. He looked at Ajuka, who look at his ceiling, knowing that he had felt it too. He walks over to Ajuka, who look at him approaching.
"You felt it too, huh?" Ajuka asked as Falbium nodded.
"It was short but I know that it was strong." Falbium informed. "Should we inform Sirzechs? This might be important." He said to Ajuka, who held a hand to his chin.
"No. We can't disturb the meeting that will determine a war or peace. But we also can't let this matter slide through our fingers. So, the only thing we can do is to send several Devils to check it out on where the source of power is coming from." Ajuka said as Falbium raised an eyebrow.
"But how will they know where to go? We've just barely sense it." Falbium stated.
"I know. But where that source of power is coming from, it isn't far from here. But it isn't near either." Ajuka informed.
"Anyway, if we send out several Devils to search for that source, we can't be certain of the exact location of where it is originally coming from." Falbium said as Ajuka smiled playfully.
"Unfortunately, that's where you come in." He said as Falbium look at him in surprise. "Don't worry, it may be nothing." He assured Falbium.
"Or something." Falbium stated as Ajuka smile in amusement.
"Don't worry, I'll keep watch from outside this balcony. Anyway, you don't have any paperwork to do at the moment, right?" He asked.
"I've done the paperwork for the day. I'm currently waiting for the next pile of paperwork tomorrow." Falbium said with a sigh as Ajuka pat his shoulder.
"Be careful. We don't know if what we're dealing with here is dangerous or not. But we can't risk the safety of the thousands of Devils here." Ajuka reasoned as Falbium nodded in agreement.
"I know. I'll leave as soon as possible." Falbium said before he turns around and walked out the room, intend to gather a small army of Devils to accompany him towards the mysterious source of power while leaving Ajuka alone in the said room.
After he left the room, Ajuka looked out through the open window.
"Sirzechs, I hope you are successful on the meeting. We'll protect this world with our lives if something happened here." Ajuka thought.
~Human World~
"Mr. Red Dragon Emperor. You mentioned earlier that you wanted to inquire about something, correct?" Michael asked looking at Issei.
"So you remembered our agreement." Issei replied.
"Of course." Michael replied back.
"Why did you send Asia into exile?" Issei asked as Asia looked at him in shock. "Asia was a devout believer in God. Why did you have to banish her?" He asked as Rias tried to stop him but Izayoi put his hand on her shoulder, stopping her.
"Let him. I want to hear it for myself." Izayoi said to her as Rias look at Michael.
"After the Lord perished, only His system remained. In other words, His divine protection, benevolence and miracles. Through me, it is currently somehow capable of functioning to a limited degree. Also, there is a need to keep it away from anything that could negatively influence it." Michael explained as everyone look at him.
"So, it was because Asia held the power to heal even Devils and Fallen Angels?" Issei said.
"The faith of our followers is the source of our strength. Anything that could potentially corrupt it, must be eliminated with zeal, or else we wouldn't be able to maintain the system." Michael explained to them.
"So, there was also a need to remove those who accidentally learned the truth about God's current nonexistence." Xenovia said as she steps forward.
"I guess it is so. I have caused great pain, for both you and Asia. I am truly sorry." Michael said as Irina's eyes widen.
"So you didn't betray us?" Irina thought after knowing Xenovia had turned into a Devil yesterday. She hadn't noticed before when she, along with the other girls tried to save Izayoi from another world. After she recalled everything since then, she felt betrayed that Xenovia was a Devil. But now, she felt slightly relieved.
"Please, do not be too apologetic Michael-sama." Xenovia said bowing her head before raising it up. "As someone who was raised by the church, I had regrets about my decision, but I am greatly content with my current life now as a Devil." She explained as the Occult Research Members held a smile on their faces. "I give my apologies to other members of my faith." Xenovia stated glancing away as Irina look at her with wide eyes.
"Me too. I also feel happy as I am now. There are now lots of people who are important to me." Asia exclaimed with a smile.
"I am very grateful for your open hearts." Michael said with a bow of his head as the room became silent.
Suddenly, Azazel interrupted the silence, "Oh yeah. There was one subordinate of mine who tricked and killed one of you." Azazel said as Asia held a scared look.
"Don't talk like it was none of your business! It was done by a Fallen Angel woman who admired you. She killed Asia for you!" Issei shouted as Azazel narrowed his eyes at him, causing him to flinch.
"The reckless actions of my subordinates is indeed also my responsibility. That is why I to make you all satisfied with something that only I can do." Azazel stated as Issei step forward.
"What did you say?" Issei asked with gritted teeth.
"Anyway, it looks like we have some company of our own." Izayoi said catching everyone their attention as Rias looked at him.
"What do you mean, Izayoi-kun? Are there people here instead of us?" She asked.
"Yeah, we aren't alone." Izayoi replied.
Suddenly, Izayoi and Vali felt it. Followed by Rias, Kiba, Xenovia and Issei.
"What was that just now?" Issei asked as he looked around at the purple atmosphere he was in. Then, he noticed that everyone which were Asia, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki were frozen with a blue aura covering their entire body.
"It can't be..." Kiba said in disbelief.
~Underworld~
Night
"This is so troublesome… Why can't he go with me? It'll be much easier and less tiring if we decided to fight a monster or something that is powerful." Falbium said with a sigh as he walk through the woods with his small army of Devils behind him.
"Falbium-sama, should we split and expand our sight? We can cover more ground." A guard said to him with a bow of his head as Falbium thought about it for a while. After a while pf thinking, he look at the guard and nodded.
"But form a group of three before heading off to search. Search in every direction while my group will search this way. Don't split up while you're search, I don't want to hear anyone die after you decided to disobey my orders, alright?" Falbium explained to the guard.
"Hai!" The guard bowing his head before he turns around and began informing the other guards. After a while, two guards were left after the other guards had already formed a group of three and set off to search for the source of power.
"We search this way. Keep your guards up while we walk ahead." Falbium said to the two guards who nodded their heads at him.
"Hai!" The guards said before Falbium nodded and walk ahead, followed by them.
"That source of power earlier… Wasn't any ordinary power coming from a Devil or anything." Falbium thought as he stopped walking, followed by his guards. "Huh… It seems I have to take this seriously, after all." Falbium thought as Devil wings appeared on his back. He look back at his guards, "Change of plans, we'll search in the skies. That way we can look over the entire forest. Also, keep an eye out for your fellow guards. They walk because we don't know where that source of power disappeared to since I only sense a faint presence of it earlier." He said as his guards nodded at his order.
"Hai, Falbium-sama!" They said as Falbium flew to the sky, followed by his guards. Once he was in the sky, he looked down at the other guards, who were walking in different directions but they were in a three-man group which he nodded in acknowledgment, knowing they obeyed his order. Falbium look back at his guards, "Let's go." He said as he flew ahead, accompanied by the guards.
~Human World~
"Time has stopped?" Issei questioned.
"Seems so." Azazel answered. 'Leaving only us, who possesses advanced capabilities." Azazel explained.
"Us, with the power of the dragons, and those who were able to protect themselves with their Holy Swords." Vali explained to everyone.
"What could it be?" Irina asked as everyone looked at her including Xenovia. She then turns her head away because of her behavior earlier as Xenovia cast a worried glance at her.
"But wait... Why can I still move?" Rias asked as Sirzechs look at the person next to her and his eyes widen in surprise. Then, Rias's eyes widen in realization as she turns her head to her right, seeing Izayoi sitting in his seat while his left grabbed Rias's right hand.
"So, whose Sacred Gear is this?" Izayoi asked looking around at the purple atmosphere before looking at the frozen people in the room.
"How?" Sirzechs asked as Izayoi looked at him.
"What? Move while time stopped?" Izayoi asked as Sirzechs nodded.
"It's not normal for a human like you to move when time has completely stopped." Azazel said as a smirk appeared on his face. "So, how can you move?" He asked.
"I don't know. You tell me. But I can tell you this..." Izayoi said as he smirked. "I'm not a normal human." He finishes as Azazel smiled.
"You really are an interesting human by far I have ever seen." Azazel said as a crashing sound was heard from outside the room. Izayoi and Rias stood up from their seats and looked out through the windows at the numerous hooded people appearing out from a massive orange magic circle. They were standing upside down with an orange magic circle beneath their feet.
"Who the heck are they?" Issei asked.
"Those are magicians." Rias answered.
"Magicians?" Issei questioned.
"Jeez, how impudent of then to leave me, the Magical Girl, out of it!" Serafall stated as Izayoi smiled at her.
"But, what is this power?" Michael asked.
"It's possible that they have forcibly activated the power of that half-vampire boy, and turned it into a Balance Breaker." Azazel explained as Issei turns to him.
"They did that to Gasper?" Issei asked in surprise.
"There are only a very selected few who possess suppressive capabilities. It is very likely that he is now in the hands of the enemy." Sirzechs stated looking out through the window of the room.
"Buchou." Kiba called out from behind Rias.
"For these terrorists to take advantage of one of my very own household members. There is nothing more humiliating than this." Rias exclaimed.
"The bodyguards and escorts..." Michael said standing in front of a window and looking at the guards that were stationed outside disappear after being hit by an orange laser blast. "Teleportation magic?"
"There is someone who is connecting the two gates from within the barrier." Sirzechs explained.
"Reversely, it would seem that we are currently incapable of using our own teleportation magic." Grayfia informed everyone.
"We've been had." Azazel stated with a smile.
"Yeah." Sirzechs said. "Not only they have considered such timing but their strategy also included the manipulation of one of the Gremory household's members." He stated to everyone.
"So a traitor has...?" Irina asked as she look at Xenovia.
"We cannot just sit idly here. If Gasper-kun's powers continue to intensify at this rate, even we will eventually be..." Sirzechs trailed off as Izayoi smirked at the window in front of them.
"Even Sirzechs-sama and the others? Gasper is that strong?" Issei asked.
"That's because he is a mutation piece." Kiba said looking at Issei, who in turns look at him.
"Mutation piece?" He asked.
"A piece that has the ability to invoke a wide variety of different phenomenon. The Bishop piece that Gasper currently possess, is actually equivalent of several pieces, with only that one piece used for the transformation. It's, as such, callrd the mutation piece." Rias explained to Issei.
"So he was really that powerful?" Issei asked.
"His delicate capabilities are beyond measure. Which is why he was sealed away." Rias said to him.
"In any case, if we don't do something about that half-vampire boy, we'll be sitting ducks here, unable to even counterattack." Azazel explained to everyone, looking out through the window and seeing one of the protective magic circles exploded by the orange laser.
"Onii-sama. There is still one Rook piece at the old school building that I haven't used yet." Rias said to Sirzechs.
"A Rook piece? I see, a castling move." Sirzechs said.
"Castling?" Issei asked in confusion.
"A move where the Rook and the King piece exchange places. A special move conducted in a chess game." Kiba explained.
"But for you to go alone..." Sirzechs reluctantly said.
"Gasper is a member of my household. I will take responsibility, and bring him back with me." Rias said gesturing to herself.
"If we use Sirzechs-sama powers, we could teleport another person there as well." Grayfia informed as Izayoi step in their conversation.
"I think the sick perverted boy should go with Rias." Izayoi said as everyone look at him in surprise, not expecting him to say that.
"What did you say, Izayoi-senpai? I think you should go with Buchou instead." Issei protested as Izayoi smirked.
"Don't worry, I have already decided on what I'm going to do." He said as he looked at Rias. "So I'm not going with you on this one." He added as Rias shook her head.
"Don't worry, I get it." Rias said with a smile.
"But... If you do anything perverted while you're there..." Izayoi turns to Issei, who furiously shook his head.
"No! No! I understand perfectly! Crystal clear, Izayoi-senpai!" Issei said as Izayoi turns around and observe the purple atmosphere around them.
"Is this what that cross dressing boy can do?" Izayoi asked as Rias turns to him.
"Yes, this is his power. Why do you ask, Izayoi-kun?" Rias asked as Izayoi held up his right hand.
"Since we're here to rescue that boy, we should have our members back, right?" Izayoi asked as everyone looked at him, including Vali.
"What do you-" Rias was interrupted as Izayoi easily flicked his finger at the space around them, causing the purple atmosphere to be destroyed instantly, simultaneously making a breaking sound as it was destroyed.
"He just destroyed the time dimension?" Michael asked as Sirzechs smiled.
"Yes. That is his power." He explained as Michael look at him for a second before looking at Izayoi.
"That's his power, huh? I never thought that it would be that powerful. Destroying the ability to stop time itself as desired by the wielder of the Forbidden Balor View. I am impressed and equally surprised." Azazel complimented.
"Thanks. I get from everyone." Izayoi stated.
""Sirzechs, I can honestly say you gout yourself a great brother in-law." Azazel commented.
"Thank you for your modesty, Azazel." Sirzechs replied
"Oh?" Akeno asked in surprise, being able to speak and freely move.
"Did something happen?" Sona asked holding her head while Tsubaki quietly shook her head, not knowing what happened to them.
"Huh? What happen?" Asia asked standing next to her as Issei look at her and instantly hugged her, making her face turn red as a tomato.
"Asia, you unfrozen! I was so worried!" Issei said rubbing up and down at Asia's breasts. "Even if they are developing but it still so soft!" He thought pervertedly with a perverted smile that was visible to everyone.
"Issei is ..." Asia thought with a blush. She wasn't disgusted, but she felt kind of loved if Issei did this to her. It is strange but that is the truth and she felt happy seeing Issei smiling to which she knew that is all she mattered. "I'm happy if he's happy..." She thought with a smile as everyone look at the two.
"Why aren't you hitting Issei with something? Didn't you always hit him when he does something perverted?" Rias asked with a raised eyebrow and an amused smile.
"Well, should I? The sick perverted boy and the perverted nun are going well with each other. Why would I ruin their special moment for them?" Izayoi asked playfully causing Issei and Asia look at him, the latter blushed furiously while the former had tears of joy in his eyes. "Anyway, they look like they enjoyed it. So, I shouldn't get in the way of a soon to be perverted couple, right?" He asked causing Rias stifle a laugh, followed by everyone, except Sona and Tsubaki, who only held smiles on their faces.
"That's right! We shouldn't get in the way of love!" Azazel said with a laugh as Asia blushed even harder.
"Yes, but I don't think we should focused on this matter any longer. We have a much bigger matter than this right now." Sona said breaking the love matter as Izayoi raised his eyebrow in amusement.
"Really? What if we want to talk about this more, Sona? I can see the couple over there likes it." Izayoi asked as Sona look at him while Issei and Asia blushed.
"Izayoi-kun, we have a much more serious matter to deal with than love." She said as Izayoi held an amused smirk.
"Okay, Sona. You got me there. What do you say, Serafall?" Izayoi asked looking at Serafall, who held a thoughtful look.
"But I loved 'love'. It makes me feel happy!" Serafall said with a smile as Sona look at her sister.
"Onee-sama. We don't have time to deal with this." She stated as Izayoi laugh.
"Can't you lighten up a little, Sona? We're just saying. But I didn't know that you were so serious about love, are you?" He teased after he stopped laughing while Sona adjusted her glasses with a tiny blush of embarrassment on her cheeks, unaware she took the matter seriously.
"I don't think you should continue talking, Izayoi." Vali said with his eyes closed getting Izayoi's attention.
"Same to you, Vali. You shouldn't interrupt other people talking." He said with a playful smile as Azazel look at Vali.
"He's right. We're talking about a good subject here. It can't hurt to listen, wouldn't you say?" Azazel asked.
"I found it less interesting right now." Vali answered as Azazel smiled amusingly.
"Then, why don't you distract the enemies outside for the time being? If they see the White Dragon Emperor, they're going to be in disarray for a while." Azazel said to Vali, who stood up from the wall and white blue wings appeared from his back.
"Okay then. Now that;s an interesting subject to talk about." Vali said as he flew outside the building and started flying pass the Magicians, catching their attention. When Vali stopped to stand in the middle of the countless Magicians, he started to transform into his White Dragon armor. Once he had transformed, the Magicians began attacking him with an orange laser blast from the top of their hoods. But when the countless laser blasts were close to Vali in his Vanishing Dragon armor— they were absorbed by the countless small blue magic seals around him.
"Hmph." Vali then raised his clawed hand and a big ball of light appeared in his palm. In an instant, he launched the ball towards the Magicians, causing countless zap of lightning to appear all over the Magicians. But when the attack hit the Magicians, they started to burst into orange polygons.
"W-Wow, he's incredibly strong." Issei said.
"But… His strength bears the scent of danger." Xenovia said looking at Vali through the window.
"Show off." Izayoi said as he open the window, which caused everyone to looked at him.
"Where are you going, Izayoi-kun?" Akeno asked as Izayoi look back at her and everyone.
"I'm gonna join in on the fight. What else is there to have fun?" Izayoi asked as everyone couldn't help but smile at him. He then turns to Rias and Issei, "I'll be at the old school building after this. So, be careful alright?" He asked as Rias smiled and walk towards him.
"Be careful too, Izayoi-kun." Rias said before she pecked his lips and pulled back with a smile.
"I'll be careful." Izayoi replied before he put his hand on the window sill and jump through the window.
"This is what you call distraction? They are pathetic." Vali said awaiting for the countless of Magicians to attack him.
"Hey! What are you waiting for, huh?" Izayoi asked grabbing a hold onto Vali's shoulder, surprising him.
"What the? What are you doing here?" Vali asked before Izayoi launch himself towards one of the Magicians.
He smirked as he pulled back his fist and punched the hooded woman Magician in the gut, which caused her to instantly flew back.
"Heh! Do you think you can easily—" Vali was interrupted as he witness the punched Magician colliding with the countless Magicians behind her, causing them to explode in a explosion of orange polygons once they felt the powerful force that she brought with her.
Izayoi landed on top of Magician, who was standing upside down on an orange magic seal. Then, every Magician blasted their lasers towards him, to which he jump away before it could hit him. Instead, the laser hit the Magician and caused a massive explosion to occur from the quantity of lasers hitting the same target. The explosion engulfed nearby Magicians as everyone watched the spectacle.
"I guess Izayoi and Vali can handle the enemies outside pretty well." Azazel said with a smile.
"Buchou, let's go get Gasper." Issei said to Rias, who look through the window and saw Izayoi, who began jumping from one Magician to another before defeating them with his punch that destroyed the countless Magicians that were near the said Magicians.
"Protect her, Issei-kun." Sirzechs said as Issei and Rias stood on a red magic circle. "I don't know what will happen if Izayoi find out she was hurt." He said to the sweatdropping Issei.
"H-Hai! I will protect her! You have my word!" Issei said before he and Rias disappear along with the red magic seal, leaving a single red Rook piece falling to the ground where they teleported.
~Underworld~
"Why is it so hard to search this?" Falbium asked in slight frustration standing in the sky with his guards behind him. After searching for a while, he couldn't sense the presence of the power anywhere in the woods. He also had to force himself to circle the forest for the second time to confirm that he had saw everything in the woods. Luckily, his other guards were safe and were in formation and they still kept searching by foot.
"Where could…?" Falbium was interrupted by a wave of power sweeping over at his direction. His eyes widen at the same presence of the power earlier at Ajuka's office. But the power wasn't the same as before, "It's growing?" He asked himself before he look at the direction, where the power was coming from. Without hesitation, he flew straight towards the direction.
"Falbium-sama!" The guards yelled before they follow him suit.
Falbium squint his eyes and his eyes spotted a zap of red lightning appeared in front of him, followed by another zap of lightning and then another. "What's going on?" Falbium asked as he slowly landed and walked pass the forest to come across a deserted place full of grass. He looked at the zap of lightning zapping with another at the height of 11 feet.
"Falbium-sama!" A group of guards came into view as Falbium look to his right, seeing that the guards arrived near the strange phenomenon. He then look at his left, spotting another group of guards who just arrived at the scene. They look surprised by the sight of the countless lightning zapping at each other.
"Oh no, It looks like I've been found out." A voice said as Falbium looked around him before his eyes widen and he look in front of him, seeing a small kid with white haired and yellow slitted eyes.
"Get him!" One of the guards ordered as every guards charges at the white haired kid with magic circles above their hands, preparing to throw everything they have at the kid. "Take this—!" The guard was cut off as a fist instantly was buried into his guts, causing him to flew back a couple of distance while dragging other guards that were near him.
"Why you-!" One of the guards from the other group gritted his teeth at seeing his friends blown away easily by the small kid. He raised his hand and direct his opened palm at the white haired kid. With a battle cry, a big magic seal appear above his hand and he instantly shoot out a big laser at the kid. But before he can shoot out the laser, the guard was shock by the appearance of the kid instantly standing in front of him. "Wha—" The guard was cut off as he was sent crashing into some trees behind him by a punch.
The kid smirked at the unconscious guard before he launch himself at the next guard, who look surprised by his appearance before he was sent flying to the side with a sideway kick from the kid. After that, the kid glance at the right and he instantly jumped towards the last remaining guard, who was preparing to fire his magic spell.
"Too slow." The kid commented before he punches a few times at the guard's stomach, flinging him backwards and crashing into the ground, creating a large crater and a cloud of smoke to appear.
Lastly, the kid look at Falbium, who look shocked at how fast his guards were defeated. "His strength… Is the same as Izayoi's. How… can this be?" Falbium thought but before he could comprehend what happen outside, a fist was suddenly buried into his stomach, sending him flying into trees behind him. A loud explosion was heard in the forest as a cloud of smoke appeared where Falbium crashed. "This is impossible…" Falbium thought as he coughed from the punch he received. He then stood up from the crater and he had time to only look up at the smirk plastered on the kid's face before he was sent to the ground again by another punch.
"This is interesting. Are you one of the stronger Demons here? Nobody can stand up from that punch alone." The kid commented as he tower over the lying Falbium, who weakly look up at him.
"Who… Are you?" Falbium asked as the kid smirked and turns around, ignoring his question. "What are you planning to do…?" He asked as he coughed, feeling his stomach was extremely sore by the kid's strength.
"Why don't you see it for yourself?" The kid answered as Falbium look up and his eyes widen, seeing the countless red lightning forming itself to form a red portal.
"Is… That a teleportation portal?" Falbium thought with wide eyes as the kid look back at him.
"The main objective of my quest here is the destruction of this world. Unfortunately, this portal can't be destroy by your magic or whatever you intend to do with it. The sole purpose of the portal is just to teleport. So, you can't stop on what's to come." The kid announced as Falbium's eyes widen in shock.
"It can't be destroyed?" Falbium thought but then he gritted his teeth and tried to stand, but his eyes widen at another punch sent to his stomach.
"You're really interesting. Are you friends any different than you? Are they strong as you? Or stronger?" The kid questioned amusingly as Falbium gritted his teeth at the pain that was spreading over his body.
"Oh well, I'll just have to found out in a moment after 'he' comes…" The kid trailed off as Falbium lift his head up and tried to stand up, but his hurting body wouldn't allow it. Instead, his head fell back down onto the ground and he immediately drifted into an unconscious state.
The kid then jumps out of the giant crater onto a tree branch nearby. He then stared off at the home of the Devils, hearing the constant loud panicky voices of the Devils.
"This will be fun to watch…" The kid said. "Sadly, my job here is done." He said before he glanced at the eleven feet red portal. "But the fun of watching is just starting." He stated with a smirk before he disappeared out of sight.
~Sirzechs's Office~
"What the?" Ajuka asked himself as he stare in shock at the eleven feet red portal in front of the Gremory territory. "Is this the same source of power?" He asked in thought sensing the same power from before but this time it was more evil that he had sensed at the first time.
He then looked ahead of the Devils, who were staring at the red portal from outside the walls that the Gremory Clan had built.
"What is that?
"I don't think you should go out, honey."
"Why, Mama? It's pretty!"
"Mama doesn't feel safe at this power. So, we should go inside, alright?"
"Huh… Okay, Mama."
"Guards, secure the perimeter of the walls! Don't let the civilians near the walls!" The Captain of the guards shouted as all the guards stationed themselves on the walls while some of the guards were tasked to keep the civilians from going outside.
Ajuka then saw that every guard in each territories of the Gremory Territory were preparing to defend the civilians and their home.
"This isn't good… Anyway, where's Falbium?" Ajuka asked himself growing concern for his fellow Satan. "This portal… Is growing stronger and stronger…" He said observing the spinning portal that was becoming less transparent and more real-like. Then, without a single hint of hesitation, he summon a small magic circle besides him.
But before he could speak to Sirzechs through the magic circle, his eyes widen as he look at the portal. Ajuka immediately held up his hand as a burst of wind swept through the whole Gremory territory, sensing a few guards to flew back from the walls and summon their wings to prevent them from falling.
"Ajuka!" A voice said as Ajuka look behind him, seeing Lord Gremory standing at the doorway of Sirzechs's office with a worried look. Lord Gremory walk towards him and stop to stand in front of him. "What's going on?" He asked as Ajuka move to the side, allowing him to see the red portal that was in front of the Gremory Territory. "A portal? From where?" He questioned as Ajuka shook his head.
"I don't know. Falbium was sent to investigate it but it has been quite a while…" Ajuka answered.
"You sense it, right? The small presence of power before this, correct?" Lord Gremory asked as Ajuka nodded.
"Yes. That's why Falbium was sent to investigate on where it originally came. But I've not heard any news about his whereabouts anywhere." Ajuka answered as Lord Gremory look at the portal.
"I think we should contact—" Lord Gremory was cut off a insanely loud sound.
"GYEEEEYAAAAA!"
"What… Is that?" Ajuka asked as he and Lord Gremory look eyed wide at where the sound came from. It was coming from within—the portal.
~Human World~
"As soon as Rias group securely retrieves Gasper, we will commence our counteroffensive." Sirzechs said looking through the window.
Suddenly, an orange magic circle appear beside Grayfia, "Sirzechs-sama." She called out as Sirzechs look at the orange magic circle.
"This magic circle… It can't be…" Sirzechs said as a women appeared out from the magic circle.
"A good day to you, current Demon Lords Sirzechs and Serafall." The women said with a smile. The woman is a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure. She has tan skin with long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset and blue-grey eyes. She wears a dress that was extremely low-cut and had a high slit on it which exposed a large portion of her breasts.
"What are you doing here?" Serafall asked surprised that she appeared.
"You're one of the descendants of the Leviathan. Katerea Leviathan!" Sirzechs stated.
"World destruction and chaos…!" Katerea said before she held up her staff. The staff glowed a bright orange before it engulfed the whole room.
Meanwhile, Izayoi sensed the new presence which was the women and he look back at the new school building before he held up his hands in a cross as an orange light engulfed the school.
"What?" Issei asked feeling the ground shook and hearing a big explosion. "It's directed at the new school building." Issei said looking through the window as Rias came up behind him.
"Onii-sama!" Rias called out in worry.
"A protective barrier set up by the combined abilities of the top brass of the three powers. Heh… How unsightly." Katerea said with a mocking smile, seeing a yellow barrier which held everyone in, landed on the ground.
"What are you planning to do, Katerea?" Sirzechs asked as the barrier disappeared.
"I simply hold the opposite opinion what is being discussed in this meeting. If God and the original Maou-sama are no longer here, then this world needs to be reformed." Katerea explained.
"Katerea-chan, stop this! Why are you doing this?" Serafall asked as Katerea cast an angry snare at her.
"Serafall, how dare you usurp the head position of the Leviathan clan from me while living a carefree life?" Katerea asked.
"…Me?" Serafall said in slight surprise.
"But do not worry. I will kill you here, and declare myself as the Demon Lord Leviathan!" Katerea declared boldly in front of everyone.
"Oh boy, and here I thought you were a central part of a mass coup by the Devils." Azazel said with a smile.
"So your objective is this entire world then?" Michael asked.
"That's right, Michael. A world that benefits from the absence of God and the Demon Lord. We will reconstruct this lawless world, and reform it with our own hands." Katera said as Azazel started to laugh which caused her to look at him. "Azazel, what are you laughing about?" She asked.
"Lawless? Reformation? What a joke. Those are the words that villains often say when they are about to die." Azazel said with a playful smile.
"How dare you mock me!" Katerea said as she glowed orange while Azazel glowed yellow.
"Shall I, Sirzechs, Michael?" Azazel asked as he started walking ahead.
"You do not have any intention of backing down do you, Katerea?" Sirzechs asked to Katerea.
"Yes, of course, Sirzechs. I understand that you are the Great Demon Lord, but unfortunately, you are not the greatest." Katerea declared levitating in the air.
"I see. That is too bad then." Sirzechs said before the barrier surrounds him and the other again.
"So, Azazel is going to fight her, huh?" Izayoi asked as he pushed the giant boulder away from him, which was the aftermath of the explosion earlier. He look up as Azazel and Katerea glowed brightly of their respective colors, which caused all of the Magicians to be destroyed in the process by the unleashed powers from the two individuals. "Well, isn't he lucky?" He said to himself before he look at the old school building.
~Old School Building~
"What?" A magician said in surprise before she was punched by Issei and fell to the ground.
"Devils?" Another magician asked.
"Impossible! Their magic circles cannot be activated!" A magician said beside the other magician.
"Gasper, Koneko." Rias called out as Gasper look up at her and Issei.
"Rias Buchou… Issei-senpai." Gasper said weakly looking at them with his normal eyes.
~School Grounds~
"We are completely outnumbered. We need to prevent this from becoming an attrition battle." Michael explained seeing as countless of Magicians were firing their laser beams at the protective barrier which they were in.
"Grayfia is currently analyzing the gate." Sirzechs said looking at Grayfia, who was analyzing a white sphere in her hands.
"Which means we have to buy ourselves time until she finishes." Serafall stated.
"We are going to fend off the enemy's attacks." Kiba said as Sirzechs and Serafall look at the four Academy students.
"It's my duty. I came along to serve as Michael-sama's guard, after all." Irina said clutching her katana in her hands.
"Don't worry, Sirzechs-sama. We will handle this situation." Akeno said with a smile.
"Let's hope Azazel can perform his part well." Michael said to them.
"Do not worry Michael-sama, our friends are with us." Xenovia said to him.
"Yes, Buchou and the others will surely come back." Kiba said before a blur past everyone in the barrier.
"Izayoi-kun?" Serafall asked as she smile at the appearance of Izayoi.
"Hey, what are you doing hanging over here? Shouldn't you be shooting at me?" Izayoi asked with a smirk as all the Magicians stopped their attacks at the barrier and focused onto Izayoi. Turning around, he instantly runs away as the Magicians flew towards him while everyone in the barrier look on. "Vali, there are more coming your way!" He yelled as Vali annoyingly look at Izayoi before focusing onto the group of Magicians behind him.
"Hmph." He raised his hand and summon a white ball of energy before launching it at Izayoi.
"Do you want to hit me or them?" Izayoi asked in amusement before he jumps into the air and turns his body, kicking the white ball of energy towards the Magicians. The ball instantly shot itself at the Magicians and immediately exploded in a surge of electricity, destroying the group. Looking at the empty space of where the Magicians were destroyed, Izayoi look back at Vali, who was flying in the air. "Now we're even." He said as Vali raised an eyebrow inside his helm.
"What?" Vali asked before Izayoi cast a smile a him and disappear in a blur, leaving a crater where he stood.
"That boy continues to mock you, isn't it?" Albion asked.
"Doesn't he bother you in the least?" Vali asked continuing his attack on the Magicians that appeared recently.
"Well, a little. But not so much. Anyway, you're not destined to fight him. Rather you'll know what happen if you decided to fight him right?" Albion asked Vali unconsciously raised his clawed hand at his stomach, recalling Izayoi punching it before and cracking it easily.
"I know. As much as it pains me to admit, you're right." Vali said while absorbing the laser blasts from the Magicians with small blue magic circles surrounding him. "But I will defeat him. He will be an obstacle that will be in our way." He thought before he defeated the Magicians all around him with a white ball of energy from before.
With Sirzechs
"Sona-chan, do you really want to fight? I mean, this fight…" Serafall said as Sona shook her head.
"Onee-sama, I can take care of myself quite well. I can't stay here while my friends are fighting outside." Sona explained as Serafall wore a small frown.
"Sirzechs-sama!" Grayfia called out as Sirzechs look at Grayfia and his eyes widen in surprise, seeing an image of Ajuka in front of him.
"Ajuka? What are you—" Sirzechs was cut off as a loud howl could be heard, catching everyone attention in the barrier.
~Old School Building~
"You're a member of the Gremory Household, aren't you? Show us how manly you can be!" Issei shouted at Gasper. After coming inside the room, he and Rias saw that Gasper and Koneko were held captive by four Magicians, which Issei defeated one, reducing them to three. Then, the remaining Magicians threaten to harm Gasper and Koneko if he and Rias took a step forward to which they didn't. Instead, he encourages Gasper and summoned Ascalon, given by Michael. Suddenly, he cut his hand which let blood spill down his arm and blade. Without the Magicians expecting anything, he thrusted his sword fused gauntlet at Gasper, letting a small amount of blood to hit his face.
"Gasper!" He shouted as Gasper licked the side of his face, getting a taste of Issei's blood, which prompted his eyes to change and shine brightly.
"Huh?" Koneko said in surprise, finding herself with Rias instead of standing upside down by the magic circle. Rias looked at Koneko with a surprise look of her own.
"He vanished!" One of the Magicians yelled catching Rias and Koneko's attention,
"Buchou!" Koneko called out holding onto two unconscious Magicians by their collars as Rias turns around and her eyes widen, seeing an orange ball of energy was flying towards her.
But before the ball could hit her, a burst of wind came from the right and someone suddenly appear in front of her and stopped the ball with his hand before he destroys it in his hand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Izayoi said with a smirk as the Magician flinched at the sight of his smirk, sensing something terrible was about to happen to her. Suddenly, the Magician froze in her steps and she look down at the fist buried into her stomach. Instantly, she flew back to the the wall through the broke doors that Issei caused. "Sadly, this is what you get for doing just that." Izayoi stated smirking at the big hole the Magician flew through.
"Izayoi-kun." Rias said with a smile as Izayoi turns towards her with a smile of his own.
"Told you I'd come." He said as Rias nodded.
"Yes, you did." She said in reply as she walk to stand in front of him.
"So, where's the crossdresser?" Izayoi asked as Rias look at the bats which he followed her. When he look at the bats swarming around, he raised an eyebrow. "That's him?" He asked as Rias nodded.
"It's one of his special hidden abilities." She answered as Izayoi look at Koneko, who was walking towards him and Rias.
"Are you okay, Koneko?" Izayoi asked as he pat Koneko's head, which caused her to look at him.
"I'm okay, Izayoi-senpai." She replied as Izayoi smiled and look at where Issei was.
"S-Sorry, Izayoi-senpai! I didn't get to protect Buchou earlier!" Issei was cut off at the last part by Izayoi.
"Don't worry, I came in just in time. Anyway—" Izayoi was interrupted by a loud sound, which everyone in the room can hear.
"GYEEEEEYAAAAA!"
"What… Was that?!" Issei asked in total fright while Koneko flinched at the howl, hearing how frightening the monster sounded by its strange howl.
Izayoi look back at the big hole he created earlier and walk to stand by the edge. He then spotted Sirzechs and the others in the barrier. "That's where the sound came…" Izayoi thought with a small frown as Rias came up behind him.
"Izayoi-kun?" Rias asked as she spotted her brother talking to Ajuka via a communication magic circle, unaware of the small black mist slowly appearing out of the ring inside Izayoi's pocket.
"What's that? I-It sounds so evil…" Asia said with a frown as Sona and Serafall look at Ajuka, who look at Sirzechs with a serious look.
"Sirzechs, you have to come immediately at Gremory Territory. I don't think a single Satan can handle this. Unfortunately, Falbium hasn't been seen in a while. So, I advise you and Serafall came along in this desperate situation. This… Will determine the destruction of the Gremory clan if we can't do anything." Ajuka stated as everyone went eyed wide at his shock statement.
Before anyone can ask why, Sirzechs nodded at Ajuka. "I come along with Serafall." He said as Ajuka nodded.
"Teleport to my location immediately. I can't be certain on what time does this creature will appear." Ajuka said before his image disappear along with the magic circle.
"Sirzechs-sama?" Grayfia called out as Sirzechs look up at her.
"I have to go." He said to her, which caused a small frown to appear on Grayfia's face.
"Alright. But… Be careful." Grayfia stated with a worried voice, knowing that the howl she heard before wasn't an ordinary howl that can be done by creatures alike.
"Don't worry." Sirzechs said before planting a kiss on Grayfia's temple. After he pulled back, he smiled at her before he turns to Serafall, who nodded at him.
"Onee-sama," Sona called out as Serafall turns towards her.
"Yes, Sona-chan?" She asked.
"Be careful." Sona said as Serafall smiled at her, happy that her little sister cared for her. Then, Sona's eyes widen as Serafall hugged her in her arms. A smile seeped onto her face as she hugged her back, while hoping inside that her sister would be safe.
After a while, the two pulled back and Serafall walked away to stand next to Sirzechs. "Bye, Sona-chan." Serafall exclaimed waving her hand at Sona, who waved her back. "Anyway, you can go join the others. But be careful, okay? I wouldn't want my baby sister to get hurt!" She said with a small frown as Sona cast her a reassuring smile.
"I will be. And thank you, Onee-sama." She said before she watches as her sister left the barrier with Sirzechs via a teleportation circle. But before they could disappear, Izayoi landed in front of the barrier, surprising them. Then Rias flew down towards them and landed next to Izayoi.
"Onii-sama!" Rias called out as Sirzechs turns towards her and cast a smile, knowing that she had witnessed the conversation between him and Ajuka.
"What, Rias-tan?" Sirzechs asked.
"Don't tell me, you're going to fight that monster?" Rias asked referring to the monster that roared earlier.
"You heard the howl, huh?" Sirzechs asked smiling at her still. "Trust me, I'll be fine. I doubt that it could be strong enough to fight three Satans." He said as Rias wore a frown at his statement. Sirzechs cast a reassuring smile at her before he look at Izayoi. "Stay with her, Izayoi." He stated as Izayoi smile.
"Don't I always?" He asked as Sirzechs smile at his answer.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Sirzechs reassured at the frowning Rias.
"Okay, Onii-sama." She replied as Izayoi held onto her hand to reassure her, to which made her smile. Sirzechs look between the two and smiled, happy at the fact that they were married.
Izayoi look at Serafall, "Be careful, Serafall." He exclaimed as Serafall smiled and nodded.
"Got it, Izayoi-kun! I'll be extra careful!" Serafall said smiling at him as a red magic circle appear beneath her and Sirzechs.
"We'll be going now." Sirzechs stated to the couple before he and Serafall disappeared along with the magic circle.
Rias stare at the spot her brother disappeared, "Hey, don't worry too much." Izayoi comforted with a smile as Rias look at him.
"Okay." Rias replied before she smile at her husband. "Thank you, Izayoi-kun." She said at his comforting.
"No problem. Anyway, we should join the others, right?" Izayoi asked as Rias smiled and nodded. But then, her eyes widen spotting a wave of black mist coming out of Izayoi.
"Izayoi-kun!" She called out as Izayoi look down and his eyes widen, followed by everyone, including Grayfia.
The black wind had engulfed Izayoi whole, but Izayoi could see that the wind was circling him all around him. Then, he noticed that the wind wasn't touching him even more so engulfing him right away, it was giving him space in its circling wind. Suddenly, a black glow shine inside his pocket to which Izayoi noticed and he slowly pulled the cause of it all-the ring he got from fighting Pest.
A smirk made its way on Izyaoi's face as he look down at the ring, or what he call, the 'Grimm Grimoire Hamelin,' knowing that the name suits the object. Knowing what the ring was telling him, he wore the ring and clenched his fist.
"Looks like you want to join in on the fun, huh? Well, here you go, Loli-sama!" Izayoi said with a smirk as a giant wave of black wind swept wildly across the school ground, causing everyone to stop fighting and look at the tornado mist which they know was the cause of the mist.
The black evil winds that seem to writhe like a living thing and seeming to possess a tangible body of its own had swept across the entire school ground within a blink of an eye. The circular array at the middle of the summoning had a flag that depicted a clown playing a flute and it was causing the waves of black wind to merge and be compressed at its centre.
Soon after, the black winds that have gradually taken the form of a human figure released all of the gases that had been compressed previously and caused an explosion.
In the explosion, a black and white speckled light could be seen at its epicenter and a human figure could be seen amidst that light-
"There are a lot of enemies right here..." A voice said as Rias's eyes widen at the familiar person levitating in front of Izayoi.
"Ne, Loli-sama, you know whose our enemies, right?
"What? Do you think I'm blind?" The girl in question held back her frustrating look from Izayoi.
"Just want to make sure, that's all," Izayoi assured with a smile as the girl look at the hundreds of hooded people levitating in the air.
A wry smile appear on the girl's face before she wave her hand at them, unleashing a wave of black mist at the Magicians, killing them in one wave.
"Pest." Izayoi finishes as the girl smiled.
"As per my summoning, I will vanquish all of the enemies..." As soon as she said those words, a big wave of black wind swept across from her.
"Master."
