Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

twisterblake2015; Yup, it was rather fun and wild huh~? Troubles truly here, and it is going to be something as we go forward~ Well, Ophis wont appear here, but Makoto and Ophis shall be meeting in the future. Aah, we'll be getting some quite good hints here, and we'll soon learn more about him. And yeah, here's the next chapter!

Blake2020; Aah, thanks very much! Hehe, we'll be learning more before chapter 50, I can assure you of that. And thanks, glad that you liked it.

ChaosJeff; Aah, she surely would fuck some shit up huh~

LoamyCoffee; Main Loli indeed~ That's Koneko for you~ He is, but Princess is quite, persuasive with her stuff.

KobayashiSenpai; Aah, thanks very much! Yup, because of what Makoto and Serafall have done, they've shared one another with the other, and now have begun moving forward in their relationships. Hehe, Koneko knows what she needs to do, and what she could do as well~ She's laying the ground work for her position. She does yeah, she very much does~ Aah, we'll be seeing a few battles, revelations, and some cool new techniques from not only Makoto, but some others as well. I'll say before chapter 50, she'll reveal something. I can't say which chapter yet, but between her and chapter 50, she'll be revealing something. Katerea, it's gonna be an interesting ride for her, I've got some plans for her. It would be rather hilarious, to see such things. He does indeed, he's possessive of Akeno and wants to keep her. Cool! And thanks very much!

Vizard Masky; Thanks very much! Yeah, Akeno's become more serious now, and is showing more of her loving and tender sides. Aah, she'll be doing one of them in the future. Hehe, good luck indeed, though Makoto wont go down without a fight. Azazel surely did have some weird stuff going on there huh. Apep surely does, he's quite the determined guy, and we'll be seeing more and more of their nefarious schemes going forward. Orochi's, not gonna be the best when she hears it, she'll be depressed. He was only saying that to mess with Makoto, Apep is a guy. We didn't see the unmasking per-say, but it was pretty much said it was Apep due to the powers, and other things of that nature.

ShadowUzumaki55; Aah thanks very much! She surely isn't, she likes having fun and thinks that this will be fun. Hehe, those three have become even more serious as well. She does yeah, she wants to be with him forever, that's basically her saying that. Aah, we'll be seeing their new powers during this part of the arc, it's gonna be quite fun~ Thanks! Yeah, Koneko, try as she might, currently isn't up to the status of fighting Orochi by herself, since she's quite strong. And yeah, we've got the battles coming in now!

Justin D; He did yeah, he got some quality time before he has to do his duties. Hehe, yeah, i'm sure most did when Vali said that~ The battles are gonna be quite fun, and insightful I'd say, we'll be learning more about Makoto and the likes. And thanks!

Ancient Sith Tulak Hord; Yup, he wont let anyone insult his girls, or he'll come after them. Usually, he isn't the type to be confrontational, but when messing with people he cares and loves, he wont hold anything back. Yeah, it's safe to say that Gren is. Something like that, though there's also other reasons as well. She'll be appearing before she does in canon, that's all I can say for now. Hmmm, yeah it would be~ It is yeah, it's gonna get even more mysterious in the future~

Nivek Beldo; It surely was yeah, and we'll be going on a few of them as we go through the story. And yeah, those girls have decided to go forward right for him. Hehe, it would have been fun huh, I've got some fun ideas for that in the future. I thought it would be a fun character trait for her, she randomly had to do that because Koneko didn't know who she was. Koneko's able to at least keep up with her, until Orochi becomes serious. Hehe, he surely is, there is a reason why he is like that though, and we'll be exploring that during the later parts of the story. We'll find out soon what he was going to say. And thanks!

Kai x Kuroka; Thanks very much! Aah, I'm glad you like the story. And yeah, a lot of confessions huh~ There's gonna be some more, not so much of the love kind, but confessions none the less~ And yeah, thanks very much! Good luck with your stories as well!

hellspam; Thanks very much! Yeah, I've got plans for that, set up all the way back in volume two actually of this story, and what happened there. Oh, no worries at all, I'm glad you're enjoying the game~

Guest 1; Maybe in the future yeah, I've yet to watch the second season of the anime yet, been dead busy, but I do like Attack on Titans. Those sound like cool ideas to me~ Potato girl huh, I do like her~ And yeah, I don't see why not~

Cf96; Thanks very much!

Guest 2; Yeah, maybe in the future, it would be cool~

Skull Flame; Yup, that's what it has right now. Hehe, they surely do, and they'll stop at almost nothing to get it! I know, she's going through quite a lot huh. Indeed, no contest. Orochi's just too powerful right now, but with time and growth, we'll be seeing more of level playing field. And no worries at all. Seems so, based on what Orochi said, makes sense, on some level I suppose~ Those theories are cool, and I'm not going to deny or confirm them just yet, but let's say that you aren't in cold right now. And yeah, Kuroka wont be happy indeed. Most likely, we'll see this chapter. But Vali wouldn't do anything to hurt Makoto. And thanks very much!

Guest 3; Yeah, might do in the future, I'd have to check out the full series for that first. But I do know enough to know who they are, and it does sound good. And that would be funny~

Anime PJ; Hehe, it was a fun part to write either way~ Yup, I am. But, it will be revealed soon. Ooh there's, something magical about it, that's all I can say right now. That shall be elaborated upon in the future of the fic. Hehe, Gren's, gonna be going through quite a few things, he'll be shown it is not okay to piss off Makoto and friends. Vali's gonna be going through something's here, but with Makoto here, I can say that there's gonna be a change.

ProjectIceman; Yup, that's right. And yeah, it can be a very fun time to see them fight and such~

Isaiah N George; No, I don't, and thank you for bringing it to my attention, I've known for about a month now, and there's not much I can really do about it, but any positive thoughts for the stories, is really praising my work, so I take it for a compliment. Besides that, there's pretty much nothing that can be done.

Anonymous; It surely is, everything is going to go down now. Hehe, she surely did ramp it up huh, Akeno doesn't hold back, and everyone's gotta look out now, Akeno's coming in. Yeah, Makoto's very aware of it, and feels complex about her saying such things. She is, and we'll be seeing that rather soon~ Yeah, Koneko didn't stand a chance, but she knew that and still attacked anyway to defend the people that she loves. And yeah, it does, she really does love him, and he her as well, as we'll see more of in volume five. Well, he might be, Orochi might have been lying and taking a fun dig at Makoto. But it would be funny to be true huh. And yeah she would, no one would really win against her though huh. He is and we'll see how much of one coming soon. Serafall...she likes teasing people, so she's not doing it maliciously (unless your names Gabriel)~

Anon; Well, thank you very much! I'm glad that you're liking it! Cool, thanks for the vote! Hehe, and thanks very much~

Dvyrenoth; Yup, Rossweisse is gonna have her time to shine.

Tohka123; Aah, thanks very much! It was a mixture of both alright~ And thank you~

Neonlight01; Thanks very much! Glad that it has gotten your interest. And yeah, they have been getting quite forward with their plans, and even have decided to take who they want. Koneko fought valiantly, and did it to protect both Makoto and Gasper, but alas, she wasn't able to fight the enemy off. They might have a fight in the future for their fights. Cool, thanks for the suggestion!

UsagiAngelRabbit; Thanks very much! Ooh, we might be seeing him soon enough. Hehe, things got wild alright, huh~? Ooh things are about to get heated up!

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it is time to start the chapter!


Attack on the conference part one!

"Ooh my God…"

Makoto looked around as he saw people frozen in time. He already knew what this was, he knew who was behind this, or rather, what could have happened. He looked at the leaders, and saw that they weren't frozen either. Michael, and Gabriel looked out of the window, and Azazel along with Sirzechs were in a deep conversation with one another.

Makoto saw that Yumi, Xenovia, and Irina were all fine, he guessed that the Holy Swords, and Yumi's Balance Breaker stopped those to be frozen, Millicas wasn't frozen either, she seemed rather fine, he didn't know how Irina wasn't frozen though since she didn't have a Holy Sword that he knew of...but, then he remembered that the woman was close to him and Serafall, so that could be the reason.

His eye went towards the Fallen Angels side, seeing that Kalawarner and Mittelt were also frozen. He clicked his tongue sadly at the sight, but he still held out hope that this could be fixed. He knew that this wouldn't last forever, remembering what happened with the first time that Gasper used the time stopping ability.

Serafall moved away from Makoto, and walked towards Gabriel, and struck up a conversation. He was worried on what she was going to do, but Makoto made sure to keep his eye on them so they wouldn't do anything.

"Ooh my, it seems you aren't frozen either, my lord."

Gren walked closer with a sly grin on his face, showing that he wasn't frozen either. He felt regret bubbling in his throat at such a sight, but he stood up, and faced the young man seriously, Gren didn't care much though, and just held his expression as normal.

"You didn't either, seems like you've got reasonable amounts of power."

"Not my full power though, thanks to that bitch Chelia."

Gren growled out angrily, Makoto's eye flickered at the sight of what was going on.

"Chelia...who is that person?"

"You really don't remember? Even though I was tortured because of what happened to you, and how I tried to kill you, you didn't even remember who Chelia is? How could that be? What has that sadistic bitch done anyway?"

They spoke quietly, so the others didn't hear what he was saying.

"I don't know who you're talking about, but you've got a very vulgar mouth, haven't you? You shouldn't speak about a woman like that."

"Like you've got something to say, I've got an announcement to make soon anyway."

"What's that?"

Makoto growled out, Gren just snickered.

"You'll soon see what I'm talking about, don't worry about that now."

"S-So, you're saying that I could...wait, you're..."

Before Makoto could finish, Vali strode over, with a protective expression on her face. She pushed herself between Makoto and Gren, pushing the young man back. She looked at Gren harshly, while he just seemed to be okay with the look, he looked serious.

"What are you saying to my Makoto anyway?"

"Nothing, I'm just having a friendly chat with my dear lord after all. That's all there is too it, don't worry so much about it."

"Then, leave. Don't speak to him, about him, or come near him ever again, understand me? If you try and even touch him, then I am going to kill you myself."

Vali's threat made Gren chuckle nervously, and he backed away slowly.

Once he was gone, Vali turned to Makoto, concern in her eyes. She bent down towards him, and looked into his eye.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Makoto answered dryly, not wanting to worry Vali and the likes.

"I worry, because I love you."

Makoto's face slightly heated up, but he remembered the situation he was in, and stopped that. Though Vali's hand placed itself on his face, stroking his cheek. He felt conflicted on what he was supposed to do right now.

"...I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about. I am the Queen of a Maou-sama, you know? I have to be strong, and right now, it seems like a situation has gone down, and if I am right, then there's no time to rush in and-"

"Whoa there buddy." Azazel said, getting between the two, Vali showing a dissatisfied face. "I know what you're thinking and it is foolish to do anything of the sort right now, chasing down the Vampire and Neko from the old school building would be difficult, and it could result in getting the Vampire killed."

"Even then, we have to do something! Koneko-chan and Gasper-san are in danger, I can't just sit here and do nothing!"

Makoto argued, but Azazel shook his head.

"We have to have a plan before anything. First of all, we have to confirm our battle strategy, and begin making movements. We can't move recklessly, I thought that you would understand that more than most, I've heard you're also a battle strategist, so what are you going to do in this situation? Charge in recklessly, potentially get the Vampire girl along with the Neko killed, or alternatively, use your mind and think of a plan."

Makoto's eye furrowed in the wake of Azazel's words.

"...I guess you're right, but this just makes me feel conflicted honestly. I don't like this…." His eye went towards Ise, seeing that he was waking up. "Onii-chan! Thank Maou-sama and everything that you're alright!"

Ise blinked as Makoto walked closer, and laid a hand on his shoulder. Ise looked confused, his eyes going around the room.

"I'm sorry, what happened Makoto?"

"Short version, we've been frozen in time. The only ones that aren't the leaders, and Grayfia-san that aren't frozen are myself, Millicas-san, Iri-chan, Xenovia-senpai, and Yumi-senpai." Rias, who was near Ise, pointed to herself. "Oh, I didn't realize you were still active Buchou, I'm sorry about that, didn't mean to make you feel oddly about that~"

"No, it's totally fine, I'm alright, and we're alright, everyone is alright, though most of my peerage are...no, not my peerage, Makoto's peerage, Yumi isn't in mine, but I still have Xenovia, so take that you Shota."

Ise looked on, then shook his head.

"Ignoring that, how are you all not frozen?"

"Our superior powers seem to have been able to fight it off, though Xenovia-senpai activated Durandal to block the effects on her, and Iri-chan…."

"I also held Ma-chan during that and managed to stay fine!" Irina said as she bounced over, hugging onto Makoto's body. "Ise-kun seems fine, must be because he's the Sekiryuutei and the likes. And we also managed to stay safe as well."

Xenovia moved closer, and was holding her Durandal, a holy aura running from it, Yumi appeared on the other side of Makoto and held onto his arm, Millicas also appeared, and held onto his hand tightly.

"The sense of time stopping was somehow remembered by my body. When time was on the verge of stopping, I thought I could use Durandal's power to protect myself, it seems I was correct."

"Even then, Makoto, what's happening?"

"It seems to be a terrorist attack Onii-chan."

Makoto said seriously, as Azazel walked closer, pointing towards the windows.

"Would you like to look outside? We're currently under attack from different people-"

DON! DON! DON! DON!

"Iyaaaa! That's just rude!"

Irina huffed at the window, looking at it with annoyance.

"It's because they are magician's, I can tell by their robes."

Millicas said it seriously, looking at the magician's outside.

"Seriously, these guys are just human's?"

Ise couldn't quite believe it, but Makoto understood better.

"Humans can be powerful too Onii-chan. It seems like these ones don't like the powers forming peace." His eye went towards Gren who waved energetically. "We also have been under attack because of it, they don't want us to achieve peace."

Azazel inclined his head, twirling it towards the window, seeing the humans firing off magical powers towards the building's, fortunately, the three powers here, managed to hold back the wave of powers for the moment.

"Those guys are so-called magicians as the young Loli Gremory said. It's a kind of magic that was originally interpreted from the magic system of Devils by the legendary magician "Merlin Ambrosius" and reconstructed as sorcery…From the power of the magic they're emitting, I'd guess that they each possess the magic power of a Middle Class Devil."

"We'd be able to beat them then."

Makoto murmured, the Fallen Angel agreed.

"Exactly, the Devils here shouldn't have much of a problem, you're all capable of fighting them off."

"I'm not!" Ise yelled out. "I can't fight them! Don't lump me in the same category!"

"Ise, don't be adorable, you're my Pawn. Any fucking magician wants some, will get a fist in their face, from my fist in their face, and I'll end their lives myself. You just have to toughen up Ise, because I'm not having a Pawn that is going to lose to anyone, I'll teach everyone the meaning of pain and misery, and that means all of you as well, my chicks."

Ise just looked baffled, but Rias held a strong conviction in her eyes, and Azazel just rolled his own eyes.

"Whatever, that was, don't go into that again." Rias frowned, Azazel continuing from before, seeing Ise's confusion about magician's and the likes. "In short, it means that humans can use powers like those of devils. Though, of course, it also seems to be possible that they can't become devils themselves. It's especially troublesome when a Sacred Gear possessor learns magic. Well, their attacks aren't capable of damaging this school building. Because the strongest protective barrier by me, Sirzechs, and Michael is enveloping this place. Though, thanks to that, we can't leave here."

"I just can't believe it!" Serafall yelled. "I'm the Magical Girl here, those women out there are stealing from me! Come on! Ma-tan, tell them that I'm the real Magical Girl here! I might have to go and glitter at them for what they've done!"

Makoto chuckled awkwardly.

"I-I'm sure they don't mean to cause offence to you personally Sera-tan."

"Ya sure? Because these freaks outside want a piece of me Ma-tan. That one there." She pointed to a random stray magician. "She's eyeing me up, she wants to have a fight, and I'll do it, I'll freeze that bitch solid and take her out without even a thought! She wants it to end, and I want it to end too! I'll get her!"

Serafall charged towards the window, but Makoto got in the way, and placed his hands up.

"Whoa there Sera-tan. Calm down, we don't know what kind of powers they have, they might have more powers than we've been shown. I mean, they did time stop us, what if they have the power to stop all of us?"

"Not possible. At least not right now." Azazel cut him off. "Most likely, they used a Sacred Gear or magic that transfers power on the half Vampire kid's Sacred Gear and forcefully made it go into Balance Breaker state, and since it is in that state, it couldn't affect the people that have already fought it off, like the big guys, and girls here, we're perfectly safe from it. And since it's only a temporary Balance Breaker state, even then, to think that it even affects people present in the interior of objects outside the field of vision…and if they continue to increase the powers of the Vampire kid, then even guys like us could be frozen as well. So that half Vampire's potential ability was this high. Interesting huh."

"That's not interesting, that's barbaric!" Makoto yelled back. "They can't just use Gasper-san and her abilities like that! She's in danger along with Koneko-chan, and we're just sitting around here, talking about it. Shouldn't we be making a plan to go and get them?"

"We are, by discussing the situation." Gabriel said, coming over, and hugged Makoto from behind, antagonizing Serafall. "I understand how dire the situation is Makoto-kun, but we have to think clearly and calmly. I also know Makoto-kun is a pure soul and wants to go and help, but we have to remain calm for Koneko-sans and Gasper-sans sake right now."

Serafall for once didn't have anything to say, she agreed with Gabriel. Though she was grinding her teeth at the fact that she was holding onto Makoto tightly.

"Yeah, you're right, but still, I'm worried for Koneko-chan and Gasper-san and what they could be doing to them, I don't like it."

Rias nodded her head, sharpening her eyes.

"Gasper has been made into a terrorist weapon at the old school building and they've even kidnapped Koneko as well…Just where did they get information on my servant…Moreover, for them to use her power to go after this important meeting…! Never have I been so insulted like this!"

"Not even the time you fell into a pile of camel dung?"

"Not even that time Millicas! Please don't do this to me right now! I'm already angry as hell! I want to go and bust some heads!"

Rias' aura raised into the sky, and her eyes blazed with fury. Serafall pushed Rias away.

"Calm down beached...erm, Rias-chan~"

"Beached...what am I beached exactly?"

Rias' intrigue was brought up heavily, her eyes dancing with emotion.

"Nothing Rias-chan, calm down~"

Rias wasn't calmed at all, she knew Serafall was saying things about her, and she didn't like it.

"By the way, the armies of the Fallen Angels, Angels and Devils outside of this school building all seem to be stopped as well. Geez, Rias Gremory's family is just dreadful."

Azazel put a hand on Rias' shoulder with a tap, but Rias mercilessly brushed the hand away.

"Screw off you freaky bastard. You're dreadful-"

"In bed."

"-in bed!"

Rias finished off, the she gasped, and glared at Serafall who snickered dangerously.

"Rias!"

Sirzechs butted in, making her fall her eyes to the ground.

"What? He touched me Onii-sama. I didn't like it, so I called him what he was."

"Not that, the fact that you slept with him! To give yourself to such a person Rias, you shouldn't have done that."

"I didn't though! It's her!" She pointed at Serafall who made a cute face. "She forced me to say it!"

"If it isn't Princess, then it is someone else. It's always someone else, isn't it Rias?"

"Ya what?! I'm being set up all of the time! Why don't you help me Onii-sama instead of yelling at me!? First you take my vodka, my coping mechanism, then you let Princess assault me, and now Serafall-sama is getting digs in at me! Everyone is abusing me and I don't know why they would do this to me!"

As she said that, Azazel's hand went towards the window. Then, a countless number of spears of light appeared in the sky outside. The spears of lights rained down all at once at the same time as Azazel lowered his hand, and they were showered down upon the magicians.

The terrorists also made protective barriers, but they went through without any trouble and the magicians were eradicated. The magicians' countless stiff corpses scattered about the school grounds.

"Rias, calm down, you're just upset because of Gasper and Koneko being kidnapped, this isn't your fault."

"Alright Onii-sama, thank you for understanding my frustrations, and I am sorry for getting angry, I'm just worried about Koneko and Gasper."

Sirzechs gave Rias a hug who hugged him back.

"It's okay Rias, we'll get them back."

"Thank you."

Rias smiled at her elder brother, as Makoto looked outside to see that more people were gathering outside.

"There's even more outside now."

"Uuuu, this is bad. If there are more outside, then we could also be wrecked by them as well. We can't do this, we have to fight them."

Irina added, Azazel agreeing.

"We do have to do something. We can't allow the human world to be in danger, and if we shut ourselves in here for a while, they'll get tired of waiting and show their face. Hopefully the enemy boss would also show their faces. I'd like to know who the mastermind is quickly. Besides, if we go out and rampage imprudently, we may just do exactly as the enemy wishes."

"What's wrong with that Azazel? We should be rampaging, shouldn't we?"

Makoto's eye went towards Gren who grinned dangerously.

"You can't be serious."

Makoto spat out, but Gren just shrugged his shoulders.

"I could be, I couldn't be. But we want the enemies to be here, we should just show our faces, and blast away the enemy. Isn't that right my lord? That's how we do it, isn't it? Because, creatures like us, only want death and destruction."

As he said that, all of the leaders suddenly became silent and didn't say anything. Even the usual perky Serafall didn't say anything, she looked quite serious, more than anything else at the moment in time.

"Death and destruction...what kind of person do you think I am?"

Gren moved forward, his eyes locked onto Makoto.

"Because of our nature, that's what we are, my lord. Apep knows it, and you know it too. Deep down, you want it as well, we're the type of people to want destruction, that's what we were made for-"

"Back the hell away from Makoto right now!"

Ise got between them, seeing Gren close the distance.

"Hmmmm, the Sekiryuutei, it is interesting why she chose to leave Makoto in your care."

"In my care..."

"Haven't you ever wondered why you have an Otouto? Why did your parents decide to adopt the lord exactly? Why would they need another child when they have you? Haven't you ever wondered about that?"

"W-Well, it's because..."

Ise didn't have an answer, even Makoto had to wonder what was going on with that. He had wondered that for a long time.

"Exactly, it's because-"

"That's enough, Gren." Azazel cut him off, yanking him back. "Keep your mouth shut, or I'll shut it for you. Do you want to be on the end of my spear, Gren?"

"My, Azazel, what's wrong. Don't you want him to know the truth?"

"Truth?" Makoto asked, looking at everyone around. "Truth about what?" Makoto looked at Gabriel, Serafall, Michael, Azazel, and Sirzechs, but they seemed to clam up. His eye went towards Serafall who smiled weakly. "Sera-tan, what's he talking about? What is this truth?"

"O-Oh, I wouldn't know Ma-tan~ Ignore him, he's just a freak or something~"

Serafall deflected, Makoto didn't know what this secret was, but he was sure that Serafall was hiding something.

"Either way, we have to get Gasper and Koneko from the old school building-" More explosions hit the building's barriers, making the room shake. "-before they could breach our defences. Our first objective is to get Gasper and Koneko back."

"Then I'll go and get them."

Makoto said it almost immediately, but Serafall shook her head.

"No Ma-tan, you have no way of getting there."

"I'll just fight through the magician's then. I can't leave them on their own."

Makoto put the thoughts of this truth on the backburner for now, he didn't want to be distracted by it, and promised himself to get the information later on.

"No Ma-tan, you can't. There's too many to fight through, I'll be troubled if Ma-tan got hurt because of this. I wont let my cue and adorable Ma-tan to be damaged because of this, it just can't happen my cutest Queen."

"And what's the alternative? Let Gasper-san and Koneko-chan be used and hurt? No, I can't have that happen Sera-tan, she and I promised when we were nervous or scared, we'd go to one another, and Koneko-chan also needs my help as well. I can't let them down, and definitely can't let them be hurt either. I've got to go right now, before anything dangerous happens to them. I'll freeze my way over there, everything that comes across me to go and get her. They can't be used like this."

"Hmph, Makoto, you've got a confident face, it's quite sexy actually."

Vali said it without a care, making him shyly look to the ground.

Rias showed a calm face, as she held up her hand.

"No, Makoto, they're my servants, though Koneko's going to you due to her threatening me, I'll go."

"No offence but there's only one of you, how are you going to get there?"

Irina asked with intrigue, Rias showed a glare.

"I'll castle over then, wont I? Yeah, didn't expect an answer like that, did you?"

Irina looked unsure of why she seemed so aggressive all of a sudden.

"Castle?"

"Castling, using the Rook piece to switch the King and Rooks places on a chess board." Makoto answered Irina's doubts. "Sona-senpai did just this move the last time we played chess. It makes sense that a feature like that exists in the Evil Pieces due to it being based off of chess and the likes."

"That's right Makoto." Rias called happily. "I left my unused Rook piece in the club room, and with that, I can just zip over and get to my place that I want. Yeah, that sounds great to me, I'll go in and bust some heads."

"I would actually like to see you try and bust some heads. You're the weakest one here at our age group, even weaker than the Knight of Serafall."

Rias' eyes went towards Gren who grinned.

"Fuck you, I'll bust your head in a minute. You dare speak to me, Rias Gremory, like I am a bad person and weak. I'm not weak, I contended with Kokabiel, and damaged him, no one else here did anything like that."

"My lord killed him you idiot. You're not strong, you're weak, why are you even a King? Your own Pawn probably has surpassed you by now. Don't you ever tire of being the weakest member of your peerage?"

Reminded the young man towards Rias. Rias held a hand to her mouth and sighed deeply.

"I'm not letting you get to me this time, don't even start with me. I...Onii-sama, tell him please, he's abusing my kind nature once more." Sirzechs placed a hand on the young woman's shoulder, and laughed, her tears became a little moist at the same time. "Why are you laughing at me? I already have self esteem issues, you're adding, not subtracting, from the problem."

"I wasn't laughing in a mean way Rias, I was just laughing at your nature, kind and hard working as always." Rias looked at Gren who flipped her off secretly. She gasped, and went to say something, but Sirzechs cut her off once more. "Alright. However, it's reckless to go alone. Grayfia, is it possible to transfer more than one person through Castling with my magic system?"

"Yes, it seems we can only deploy a simple technique ceremony here, but it's possible to transfer Ojou-sama and one other."

"I'll go with her then if she's transporting."

Makoto quickly said it, but Ise laid a hand on his shoulder.

"You stay here, dude."

"But Onii-chan..."

"Your King is here, and you're her Queen. Like I do with Buchou and how I would protect her with my life, you've got to do the same. Don't worry about Gasper and Koneko-chan, I'll send them your love."

"Onii-chan!"

Makoto yelled back, but Ise just laughed.

"Don't worry dude, it's fine, Loli's aren't my thing anyway. You stay with your King and protect her with your life, alright? That's what the Queen of a King should do, you're her second in command, you've got to show your best side."

"...When did it flip from me giving you the pep talks to you giving them to me?"

Makoto's question was answered with a sly grin from Ise.

"It's because I'm older, though not wiser...well, I'm also smart too! But yeah, stay here with your King, I'll get Gasper and Koneko-chan, and get them to safety, I promise you."

Makoto knew Ise was right, and that he should stay with Serafall just in case, and he also didn't trust Gren either. And he knew he could rely on Ise, he was quite the reliable person and therefore, Ise was going to be the best bet now.

"Then, get them back Onii-chan, make sure that they're safe."

"Count on it."

Ise and Makoto had an understanding with one another, and Rias just snickered perversely.

"Onii-sama, let's do this right now."

"Alright then Rias, lets do this." Sirzechs' eyes quickly moved in Azazel's direction. "Azazel, according to a rumour, you've been researching how to freely handle Sacred Gears for a fixed time, right?"

"Yeah, that's true, but what about it?"

"Is it possible to control the Sekiryuutei?"

"I control him all night in bed~"

Rias smiled out perversely, Ise's eyes turning towards her. She winked towards him and then she placed a hand on her breast teasingly. Makoto didn't know what was wrong with her honestly due to the situation they were in.

Azazel gave Rias a disappointed look, then turned towards Ise, grabbing something out of his breast pocket.

"Oi, Sekiryuutei."

Azazel called out to me.

"I-I'm Hyoudou Issei!"

"That's right Azazel! Don't mess with my Pawn, or you're going to get it!"

Rias threatened, but Azazel just chuckled lightly at her, antagonizing her.

"Then, Hyoudou Issei. Take this." Azazel threw something at him. He caught it and looked...they seemed to be wide rings to put around the hand. Multiple layers of strange characters were carved into them. "Those are bracelets with the power to control a Sacred Gear to some degree. If you find the aforementioned half Vampire, put one on her. It'll help her control her power somewhat."

"But, there are two of them…?"

"Ooh come on, you don't know who the other is for? Fucking idiot. It's for you, you moronic twit."

Gren snickered out, Ise shooting a glare in his direction.

"Watch it! Don't speak to me like that!"

"Oh, what are you going to do exactly? Gonna fight me are we? Because I've been dying to fight the Sekiryuutei-"

Vali cut off Gren while swatting her hand at his face, knocking him back, and he growled "Fucking bitch." but she paid no heed, her eyes dangerously on Ise, almost like she was going to kill him for that one brief moment.

"The Sekiryuutei will be my opponent, if he becomes interesting. And if this makes him interesting, then so be it." Makoto lowered his face, so Vali patted his head. "You wont be watching our eventual fight, I know how hard it must be to think about which side to vote for in victory, but you don't have to worry."

"Y-Yes...I suppose."

Makoto wasn't sure he liked the idea of Vali and Ise fighting, ever. He loved them both, in different ways, but equally strong.

Azazel casually glanced at Gren who grinned darkly, and then there was the look from Gren right back. His hand seemed to be tightening, surprising the likes of Ise and the others that he actually had the inclination to glare at someone.

"Gren was right about one thing, it was for you Ise. You haven't mastered the power of the [Welsh Dragon], right? If so, put it on. If it's for a short time, it'll be possible to go into the Balance Breaker state without paying any price. This will be used in place of the price. As a side effect, you'll also temporarily undo the seal that's been applied on you. Your Pawn power has been blocked, right?"

"Where did you get that information Azazel? I never told you."

Rias declared boldly, as Serafall snickered.

"Why speak like you're angry Rias-chan?"

"I am angry! Extremely angry!"

Azazel just laughed as a response to Rias' anger, making her more angry by the second.

"This is only my personal opinion, but in terms of piece distribution, Ddraig is seven and you're one, right? No, it may be 7.9 and 0.1. Promotion also builds the necessary foundation for the sake of manifesting Ddraig's true power. Either way, it's a fact that releasing Ddraig's power will release the seal as well, right, Rias Gremory?"

"Just, don't piss me off Azazel, I've had enough of your antics. I'll slap your tongue if you don't begin behaving."

"You're going to slap my tongue...whatever, I'd like to see you try and slap my tongue, is that a punishment by the way?" Rias huffed and turned away, Azazel's eyes going towards Ise once more. "Use that ring as a last resort. Since it can't regulate its consumption of stamina, you'll just exhaust yourself wastefully if you activate it suddenly. It will consume an intense amount of stamina and magical power while in armour-equipped mode."

Azazel stated it calmly, and Rias turned back to see Gren once again flipping her off, and laughing at her. She tightened her fist, fully wanting to punch him hard.

"Azazel, just how far did you research Sacred Gears?"

Michael asked Azazel while sighing, but the Fallen Angel Governor just smiled fearlessly.

"It's fine, isn't it? God, the one who made the Sacred Gears, isn't here, right? Isn't it better if there's someone who can explain about Sacred Gears at least a little? I heard there are all kinds of things that even you don't know, right?"

"I think the problem is that you're the one who's researching it…"

Michael murmured, as Rias received the so-called special technique formula from her forehead by Grayfia.

"Ojou-sama, please wait a little while."

"Please hurry, Grayfia. If this happens to my Bishop and Rook, I might implode."

Rias narrowed her eyes as she said it, worried for her peerage members.


While they were inside getting ready, Azazel and Vali were deep in talk.

"Vali."

"What is it, Azazel?"

"You go catch the enemy's attention outside. If the Hakuryuukou comes out at the front, it'll disrupt their strategy a little. Also, something may move."

"So that person will also become aware of me being here?"

"If you do that, they won't expect for the Sekiryuutei to transfer over to the centre using Castling. It'll also have the effect of attracting their attention a little."

Azazel gave his opinion, and before he could say anything, Gren spoke up disgustingly.

"Hmph, why don't you just blow up the place that the Vampire chick and Neko are in?" Gren's disgusting words once again echoed in the room. "It would be easier than just doing this, sending in the clown with red hair, and her pervert."

"I'm not even a fucking clown you cheeky rat! I'll slap your tongue!"

"Why do you keep threatening to slap peoples tongues?" Rias glared. "Either way, I was just saying, we'd save a lot of trouble if we went that way with it, destroy the entire place, and then we'd be rid of the time stop, and we'd be up to full force, right? Or we could go with the clowns plan and slap their tongues."

Rias breathed hard through her nose.

"That's it, show me your tongue."

Rias went to take a step, but Ise stopped her with his hand, making Rias growl. Makoto on the other hand was becoming sick of the young man, and wanted to hurt him, make him stop saying and even suggesting stupid things like this.

"We're not killing Gasper-san or Koneko-chan, Gren! Seriously, you keep saying stupid things, why are you even speaking at all? If you don't have anything constructive to say, then don't speak at all."

"What's wrong with my way of thinking my lord? That's what we do, we bring death, you know? We aren't even supposed to live in the light, people like you and I, that's why Apep-sama wants to bring you back to the darkness, where we belong."

"Seriously, what is it with-"

"Anyway, Vali." Azazel cut Makoto off before he could say anything else. "You should go, the Hakuryuukou disrupting their ranks should be good."

"Should I also, slap their tongues?"

Makoto bit his lower lip and Azazel outright laughed, along with Serafall.

"Good joke Vali-chan! I'm beginning to like you even more! Yes, you can be apart of Ma-tan's harem~"

"I was apart of it before you even met him."

Vali answered back, but Rias couldn't get what Vali said out of her head.

"You're on my list Vali! Mark my words, I'll come for you!"

"Onii-chan! You're gonna have to stop her threatening stronger people!"

Ise panicked, but Vali just laughed at Rias, triggering her even more.

"Well, you're not on mine, meaning you aren't important enough. I don't even remember your name honestly." Rias breathed hard through her nose. "Understood Azazel, I'll do this. It was becoming boring just sitting around here anyway. Even though magicians of this level don't pose much of a challenge, I'll just have to show my strength to them and make them think twice." Vali agreed to Azazel's suggestion while letting out a breath. Wings of light spread out from Vali's back, her Sacred Gear. "Balance Break."

[Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!]

After that sound, a snow-white aura covered Vali's form. When the light stopped, her body was wrapped in a whole-body armour that emitted a white radiance. It looked so close to Ise's, though hers was built for a woman's body, it showed her curves still, but was a bulky like armour, like Ise's.

Seeing such an armour, Makoto was enamored by the beautiful radiance it gave off. He moved closer, and then patted the armour, Vali looking down and removed her helmet, and ungloved one of her hands from the armour.

"What is it?"

"I told you all those years ago that white suited you. Just look what has become of you, in such a thing. So, this is Balance Breaker huh for the Hakuryuukou. Looking at it in the light, you're even more...erm, you look very good Vali-san."

Vali smiled, showing Azazel that she actually did have the capacity to do that. She bent down towards his level, placing a hand on his face. He shyly looked towards her as her eyes looked into his golden one.

"Are you worried for me?"

"...Of course I'm worried for you, honestly. Even if they aren't strong, there's a lot of them, you have to be careful in these kind of situations Vali-san."

"Don't worry, I wont be hurt."

"How do you know that?"

Vali showed a rare smile on her lips, and then moved to Makoto's face. In one fell swoop, she laid her lips upon his own and grabbed his butt with her ungloved hand at the same time, groping him, and made him squirm and moan at the same time into her mouth, gaining jealousy looks from some of the women in the room.

When she pulled away from him, she smirked at him.

"Because I've got you wishing me luck, and that's all I need. Besides, I know that if I don't do something and you're hurt because of it, then I'll never forgive myself."

"Geez, Vali, when did you get so-" A harsh punch happened on him. "Vali..." Azazel squeaked out, grabbing his crotch. "Why..."

"Shut up, that's why." Azazel shed tears and went into the corner as Vali petted Makoto's butt, making him scowl. "What's with the face? You know that it is my favourite part of you, and it is the best one. The only one that I want."

"...Silly Vali-san, you're still the same as always, being weird and saying and doing weird things." Makoto took her face with his hands, and gently laid his lips onto her own, shocking Ise and some others. "Come back to me Vali-san."

"Yeah, I'll come back."

Somehow, Makoto...didn't believe that.

He felt, something off about her words.

He didn't know what it was, but something felt, weird to him, and he couldn't quite place his finger on it either.

"I love you, my Makoto."

Before he could think though, Vali gave him one last squeeze from behind and a kiss, making him moan once more, then took to the window in blinding speeds, going so fast that the glass shattered from just the pressure of her speed.

At that instant she went outside, she took out magician's left, right and centre. She was like a one woman army, she didn't hold anything back, she kicked butt. Her power was even felt by those in the room and some people like Ise shuddered at the feeling of what was going on right now.

Even though she took them down without a worry, the group still came more and more. It seemed like they were endless. Even with the corpses of the magicians on the ground, they didn't seem to respond to that and just went at Vali with their magic's, but didn't end up touching her body due to the armour, Vali truly was a strength Ise was worried about, and Makoto marvelled at.


Since Vali had the outside, and Grayfia was preparing the others, the conversations from before continued, with Azazel's eyes being on Makoto and the gang, but Sirzechs held questions for Azazel instead.

"Azazel, continuing the talk from before."

Sirzechs queried Azazel.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"What are you trying to do by collecting Sacred Gears? You've been collecting Longinus owners too, right? Do you intend to kill God even though God no longer exists?"

Azazel shook his head at that question.

"It's to prepare."

"Prepare? That's some uneasiness-inciting talk, even though you reject war."

Michael couldn't help but note that quickly, which Azazel agreed to wholeheartedly.

"I said so, right? I won't go to war against you people. I also won't make war here. However, means of self-defence are necessary. Rather, should I say we're not just preparing for an attack from you?"

"Then?"

"The Khaos Brigade."

"…Khaos, Brigade?"

It wasn't just Makoto and Ise who were the ones that didn't know what that was. It also seemed like Sirzechs and Michael were the ones that didn't understand it either. Though Makoto had to admit the name seemed kinda lame.

"I only confirmed the organisation's name and background recently, thanks to my Vice Governor." Azazel said it quickly and honestly. "It's said that they're gathering dangerous members from all three big powers. Some Sacred Gear-possessing humans who have attained Balance Breaker also seem to be included. I've also confirmed a number of Longinus possessors among them."

"Hmph, who needs Longinus possessors, they can't contend with us real monsters."

Gren's words were followed by a grin on his face. His eyes went towards Makoto who didn't even flinch under his gaze, he didn't even look all that bothered honestly. He just looked normal about everything that was going on.

"Their goal is?"

Gabriel asked with a cute look on her face.

"Destruction and mayhem. It's that simple, you know? They don't like this world's peace. They're terrorists. Moreover they're ill-natured to the extreme."

"So, they're just out for world destruction then?"

At Makoto's question, Azazel shrugged his shoulders.

"More than likely, probably. The organisation's leader is the powerful fiendish Dragon besides the Welsh Dragon and Vanishing Dragon."

[—!]

Most people became speechless, but Gren's wicked face grew larger.

"Well, fiendish is a bit harsh Azazel. Ophis is someone that is a Dragon God, I've always wanted to fight that person, that, thing. It doesn't even have a gender, isn't that adorable? I've heard recently, it's been going by a female gender, though it has been known to appear male as well." Gren's eyes went towards Makoto who stared back honestly, and earnestly. "My lord, do you remember the name Ophis?"

"S-Should I?"

Gren's wickedness came out even more, showing a disapproving smile.

"Well, that's not good, you don't remember. Ophis wont be pleased, it might even become unstable and destroy everyone here."

"W-What are you saying? I don't even know any Ophis."

"My, Chelia did a number on you, didn't she?" Gren walked closer slowly. "That girl truly did take you away from us, but no longer Makoto, my lord, and saviour, you'll be coming back to us soon enough."

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

[That's not true, Makoto-sama.]

Makoto gasped at the voice, and a magical circle appeared on the ground. It seemed like a Devils one, and Millicas saw the look of the circle, and pointed at it with danger.

"That's the circle of the Leviathan."

"Leviathan? But Sera-tan's right there."

Makoto wasn't quite sure what Millicas was talking about.

Millicas shook her head.

"No, that's not quite right, this one is the original Makoto-san. We'll have to be extra careful. Like...because of the four original Maou-sama's death, this one is the descendant of the true Leviathan, like there will be for the other Maou-sama's. I heard that the descendant from Lucifer is dangerous, but I couldn't predict who that is, only having heard so little information about it all."

Sirzechs clicked his tongue, looking at Grayfia.

"Grayfia, transfer Rias and Ise-kun quickly!"

"Yes!"

Grayfia urged Ise and Rias to go to a corner of the meeting room, and a small magic circle was created on the floor.

Ise looked towards Makoto who smiled towards him, Ise though felt unsure, he felt like something was going to go down.

"Ojou-sama, I wish you the fortunes of battle."

"W-Wait, Grayfia!? Onii-sama! Don't do this Grayfia! Onii-sama! I need to help out too!"

Rias pleaded, but Sirzechs' eyes went towards Ise.

"Ise-kun, I'm leaving Rias to you."

"C-Count on me sir!"

Ise saluted, while Rias sighed and placed a hand on her forehead, sighing even more.

Ise and Rias were enveloped in the light of transfer, ans disappeared from that place entirely, and in that place, was a Rook piece. Serafall went towards it, and picked it up, placing it in her pocket, confusing Grayfia.

"Serafall-sama, what are you doing?"

"Playing a fun game~"

Serafall sang out happily, and honestly.


The magic circle that appeared on the floor of the meeting room. As they saw it, all the leaders of the three great powers were shocked. Azazel laughed, and Sirzechs made a sour expression. Gabriel held a hand to her chest, while Gren's hand tightened tighter, and his fingers became sharper, and claw like. It almost looked like his hand was erupting scales.

A single woman appeared from the magic circle. She was wearing a dress that was extremely low-cut and had a high slit on it. She had glasses on her face, Makoto thought that she probably was the opposite of Serafall in pretty much every way.

He felt Yumi appear beside him, as did Irina. Millicas and Xenovia also went towards Makoto, standing behind him. They all looked towards him, like he had the answers, he didn't. He didn't know what was going to happen, all he could know was that he was going to be fighting soon enough.

"How do you do, current Maou Sirzechs-dono?"

The woman greeted Sirzechs with a fearless tone.

"Oi! W-Why are you even here Katerea-chan anyway?!"

"Sera-tan? What's wrong, do you know her personally?"

Makoto had to ask seeing that even more than Gabriel, she looked as if she was going to attack the woman, but for reasons, Makoto didn't know why that was.

"The one descended from the blood of the previous Leviathan. Katerea Leviathan." It was odd seeing Serafall so fully serious. Her eyes didn't even falter for a second, her expression went so stiff that Makoto was sure that she was going to attack. "What is the meaning of this? Why did you even come here anyway!?"

Katerea didn't seem to care all that much, and just shot Serafall a dirty look.

Serafall's eyes never wavered, and her expression went even colder as her eyes went around the room, Katerea's eyes went towards Makoto and then adopted a smile.

"My, it seems like you've de-aged perhaps?"

"...Why are you looking at me?"

Makoto asked. The woman, Katerea Leviathan, who was descended from the original Leviathan, gave a defiant smile and spoke.

"My lord, it has been so long. You've become different, and Apep-sama was also worried about you. Why have you decided to sign your life away to becoming a Devil slave? Could there be a reason as to why you're doing this?"

"I don't understand, what's going on?"

"...Does Ophis want Ma-tan Katerea-chan?"

Katerea's eyes went towards Serafall, and chuckled darkly.

"For a pretender to speak to me, and then take the one that will bring about ruin to your side, you truly did plan it out, didn't you Serafall?"

"W-What do you mean?"

Serafall innocently stated, but Makoto looked on with confusion.

"I mean, you chose to bring in that boy there, to your peerage, as a weapon!" Makoto gasped as Serafall's eyes became wet, shuddering away like the world was going away. "That's the reason you chose to make him your Queen! You understand what powers that boy has! Even Ophis is interested in him and wants him to come with me!"

"Sera-tan...w-what is she saying…? Y...You made me...become your Queen...because I'm a weapon…? N-No, Sera-tan wouldn't do that but...weapon...I'm a weapon..."

Slowly, but surely, Makoto's mind was breaking at the thoughts of what his life was.

"No Ma-tan! She's lying! Don't believe her! You're my Queen! Don't worry about what she says, just listen to me my Queen! You're the best Queen ever-"

"Also, the greatest weapon, Serafall." Serafall bit her lower lip. Katerea's eyes went towards Makoto. "My lord, has no one here told you yet?" Makoto's eye tightened on her. "I'm sorry about that, why don't I fill you in instead? It's no secret to the higher ups, and the one that saw it last time. The only reason you aren't here right now, is because of Serafall and the others, and especially Chelia, a so-called normal life with…." She turned her eyes discreetly to Gren who grinned from ear to ear, then turned her eyes back to Makoto. "My lord, why don't you come with me now, and save the upset of killing these people? I promise, if you come with me now, then we'll call off this attack and everyone here will be saved. Isn't that what you'd like?"

Makoto's eyebrows became furrowed, and a nervous sweat overcame him.

"...Did you do all of this, just for me? You wanted...me?"

"Originally, we came here to break peace apart." Katerea announced swiftly. "We've concluded that, since God and the original Maou are gone, this world should be reformed, and you my lord, you can do that. You might not be a pure blooded Devil, but your darkness, and ours coincide with one another, you were bred to be the changer of this world, as was some other special children. You happen to be bred from the genes of the strongest one of them."

"Bred….you know who my parents are?"

"I know one of them anyway, though the term 'parent' could be a stretch, who knows, I'm not privy to that. I'm not so sure on the other one, but your real Otou-sama is-"

"Has that Ophis seen that far ahead into the future? Though that doesn't seem likely."

Makoto heard Azazel cut her off, he felt his heart beat increase by the second and his heart felt like it was shattering at the same time.

Katerea just let out a breath in response to Azazel's question.

"Aside from being a symbol of power, he just bears the position for the sake of gathering power. We've asked for his help to destroy the world and rebuild it again. We will be the ones to manage the new world, and our first goal, is to capture, Makoto Hyoudou right there!"

Makoto backed away as Katerea's smirk grew more and more.

"...If I went with you, you'd leave everyone alone, right?"

"Ma-tan! Don't even go with her, that's an order!"

It was the first time that Serafall had said that, but Makoto looked at her seriously.

"But...she's here for me, all of this, is because of me, and if people die here, it is because of me...I couldn't take it if someone died because they wanted me...it wouldn't be fair..."

"Ma-tan! You're not going because of this! You're my Queen, I wont lose you to this bitch and her group of freaky weirdos! She would have done this regardless of you or not, even if you went with her, then it would mean that their group gain you and that's not good, and they wouldn't stop either, that's just how these people are!"

Makoto wasn't so sure, but he didn't want anyone to die because of him either.

Irina, Yumi, Xenovia and Millicas all stood in front of Makoto, in a defensive manner.

"You wont take my Ma-chan away! You'll have to go through me first!"

"That's right, Makoto-kun is staying with us! Even try it and I'll cut you down myself!"

"Even though I hold no sexual feelings for Makoto here, he is Ise's Otouto, therefore will be my Otouto as well, and I will not let you guys touch him!"

"They're right, you're going to have to get through all of us before you can do anything! We might not be like you, but together, we'll defend Makoto-san to our last breath, because he's going to be our King, besides Xenovia, and he's the one that we love, so don't even try it!"

Hearing the words of Irina, Yumi, Xenovia and Millicas, Makoto's eye gained some small tears, and he shed them hard.

"Everyone..."

His small voice caused the others to turn around and each lend their smile towards him, giving him strength to continue on.

Katerea cackled like a villain would.

"My, seems like the legends about those creatures gathering allies are true. Even the evil versions of them could do the same thing."

Makoto's eye wavered, trying to understand what the hell was going on.

However, Serafall's rage was becoming more than she could handle.

The power radiating off her, was more than enough to destroy everyone else. The power even flew into the sky, and froze the roof. Grayfia and the others around her backed away, even Katerea backed away as well, a sweat drop appearing on her forehead.

Gren's scaly hand became even more strong, and his eyes turned towards Gabriel, she was unknowingly in danger, since she looked towards Katerea, not paying attention to what was going on with Gren.

Serafall's eyes focused on Katerea, and she took a step forward, her ice powers freezing the ground below her.

"You're not having my Queen Katerea! So there! Go and jump in a ditch or something!"

Serafall yelled seriously, showing a defiant look on her face.

Nothing and no one was going to take away her Queen, that was a guarantee.

"My, such a cute phrase Serafall. I didn't think you had it in you. To sound so angrily towards me, it is funny. You don't even have the right to say something like that to me. You also had the same goal, yes? As soon as you found him, you turned him into your Queen. You also understood that having a power that large on your side would be the best."

"No, that's not even true! I made Ma-tan my Queen because I chose to do so! That's all there is too it! I didn't do anything else because I'm a bad person! I just...Ma-tan is my Queen, and that's all there is too it. It doesn't matter about anything else, Ma-tan is the only one who I love, and cherish. You're making something out of nothing! It doesn't matter what Ma-tan is! It only matters who he is to me! He's the man that I love, and I wont have you take my Ma-tan! If you try, then I'll freeze you solid you bitch!"

Katerea's eyes went towards Serafall, and she grabbed a staff out of her pocket, and enlarged it with her powers. Wondering what that was, Serafall did the same thing with her own magical staff, showing it towards Katerea.

"Don't worry, Serafall. Today, I'll kill you at this place and take the title of Maou Leviathan for myself, along with taking your Queen and having him for myself. Then, Ophis will become the God of the new world, and use the lord's power for our goals. It's fine if it's just a symbol. The system and laws, the doctrine will be constructed by us. Michael, Azazel, and Sirzechs, your era is over. And Serafall, today your era is going to come to an end."

The expressions of Sirzechs, Gabriel, Serafall and Michael all darkened at Katerea's words.

However, before they could even say anything, Gren moved swiftly, and shot towards Gabriel.

"You die first bitch!"

"Huh?"

Gabriel let out surprise when she saw Gren moving at her at blinding speeds. She went to raise a barrier, but it wasn't going to make it in time. She widened her eyes, and felt sick about what was going on, she didn't want to be stabbed.

"Fiery Ice Wave!"

Makoto's hands erupted with a lower version of his powerful attack, slamming against Gren and fired him off his feet. The man smashed against the wall, and then out of the room, saving Gabriel's life in the process.

"Makoto-kun I..."

Gabriel didn't know how to express any gratitude right now. All she could do was look on with a smile on her face, and a song in her heart.

"Been wanting to do that since the moment I met the douche." Makoto said it with a grin on his face, turning towards Katerea. "Oi, you, I've had about enough of your lip. Speaking to my King like that. I don't pretend to understand what's going on, because I don't understand. But I do know that I'm not going to lose to anything and anyone either! That means you and your buddy Gren down there! You're not getting me either!"

Serafall's eyes went towards Makoto, seeing that he was showing his strong side as well.

So, she decided to do the same thing.

"Hey Katerea-chan! Screw you!"

BANG!

"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What the actual fuck?!"

Serafall slammed her wand into the side of Katerea's face, her eyes popping out of her skull as she was sent the same way as Gren was beforehand, giggling softly to herself at the sight, then winked at the others around.

"Don't worry about Katerea-chan, I've got her. No one interfere, this is my battle."

Serafall showed a strong disposition, she wasn't about to back down either, due to it being Makoto and she was never going to lose her Queen to anyone, not even Katerea.

"Ooh, I wanted to test out my new Artificial Sacred Gear as well." He brought out a gold dagger with a jewel on top of it. "Oh well, I guess it would be inferior to the original anyway. Even then, it seems like I've got some test subjects entering battle." His eyes went towards Makoto and Irina. "Make me proud kids."

Both of them shivered in place, not sure how they were going to do this.

"Serafall, that's dangerous-"

Sirzechs was cut off when Serafall waved her fingers at her.

"She wanted to fight for the title of Maou-sama, that's fine with me, I don't have a problem with that. Besides, she also tried to steal my Queen in front of me, such an action is unforgivable, I'll deal with her myself. Ma-tan-"

"I'm fighting Gren, and stopping this once and for all!"

Makoto rushed the hole Gren made, and then jumped out of it.

Irina and the others were flabbergasted, but Serafall pumped her arms.

"Ooh yeah! Me too!"

Serafall rushed the hole and jumped out of it as well, making Sirzechs sigh deeply.

"She's always impulsive."

"I'm heading out as well!"

Irina didn't even hold back, and jumped out of the window as well, Millicas following after her without saying anything.

"I'm coming Makoto-kun."

"Well, I might as well join them as well."

Yumi also followed after him together with Xenovia, so they could fight alongside their comrades.

Azazel looked towards the worried Sirzechs, and laughed.

"Don't look so worried, a special guest is here as well, watching over that boy. Besides, Serafall seems fired up, and wanting to bust out some punishment, I think it would be a good idea if we let her do it."

Sirzechs wasn't so sure, and worried for them all.


Getting outside, Makoto and Gren looked at one another, as he stood up off the ground, Serafall and Katerea facing off one another as well, showing that they weren't going to back down because of this either.

Katerea got off the ground as well, and glared at Serafall.

"As always, your tactics are amazing to say the least. Attacking me like that, it is tactless, isn't it? Either way, I am surprised that you're still living to be honest. I've always hated you, and now getting in the way of the lord returning to our side. You know what has to happen Serafall, he needs to come to our side, to release the powers of Apep-sama and the others. He has to, and I wont hold back because of your selfishness."

Serafall placed a hand over her own heart, and showed a resolute look on her face.

"I wouldn't think it is something like selfishness, Ma-tan and I are together, and there's no way I'm letting a hell bitch like you touch my cutest Queen. I'd rather die than hand over Ma-tan to you. It isn't about being with Ma-tan because he happens to have power, it is about the fact that my Ma-tan is my Queen, that's all there is too it!"

An aura surrounded that of Serafall, and the same thing happened with the young woman known as Katerea. She looked towards Makoto briefly, seeing him squaring off with Gren, then he turned back towards Katerea with a grin on her face, the ground freezing below her.

"So, the thing you desire, is the Queen that you have there, is it? That's cute, I like that kind of mentality Serafall. But today you take your last breath, you wont be walking away from this battle alive, I can assure you of this."

Serafall didn't even bat an eyelid, and showed no worry on her face at all.

"Descendant of the former Maou Leviathan. One of the [Monsters of the End]. Not a bad opponent. Katerea Leviathan, are you dressed up for a bout of Armageddon with me? I don't mind fighting you this time Katerea-chan, I've decided to become your opponent to the bitter end, for my Ma-tan!"

Katerea responded to her intense challenge with a fearless smile of her own.

"I was just wishing for that, bitch who stole my rightful place."

Immediately, Serafall, and Katerea shot into the sky, with the aura of death around both of them, their powers clashing in the sky. The powers of Serafall, and Katerea were so grand that the area around them began being blown apart. Not even the school was totally safe, the auras alone was allowing the barrier to be smashed and smushed from the powers of the women.

"Sera-tan, that's-"

"Don't worry Ma-tan, it's alright, I've got this, just handle yourself."

Serafall said it with a cute smile on her lips.

From the sky, a roaring sound could be heard, as well as a dazzling light. When looking above, Serafall and Katerea Leviathan were attacking and defending intensely.

Serafall made multiple thick and heavy spears of ice easily exceeding her own height appear, and threw them at Katerea. Katerea laid out several layers of defensive magic circles and blocked the ice attacks.

"Damn bitch! I'm gonna kill you Serafall!"

"Haha, didn't you even know? I'm the magical girl, Levia-tan! And I defeat bad people, and that means you~"

Serafall winked and twirled at the same time, igniting rage within Katerea.

"Fucking whore! Stop making stupid poses, and just perish with a thought or something! I hate everything about you!"

The schoolyard had received great damage here and there from the after-effects of those attacks and defences. If the Maou's and the others hadn't been protecting the new school building, significant crumbling would probably have happened to the building.

It was also fortunate that the entire school site was enveloped in a strong barrier. If not, the surrounding residential area would have also taken damage. Though it still was coming dangerously close to a horrid conclusion.


Ise, and Rias looked towards the tied up Gasper who looked as if she had been crying, seeing Koneko nearby, looking roughed up. Rias held her hand out in front of her, looking pissed off. Ise looked the same as well, as if they were going to kill someone.

"Impossible, they've transferred here!"

"Damn Devils!"

The interior was occupied by magicians wearing robes with magical symbols on them.

"B-Buchou! I-Ise-senpai!"

Rias confirmed Gasper's safety and was relieved as well.

"...Great, the cavalry."

Koneko added with a relieved face.

"Gasper! I'm so glad that you're safe."

"Buchou…It's already too late…" However, Gasper just broke into tears then. "It's better if…I die. Please, Buchou, senpai. Please kill me…Because of these eyes, I can't make friends with anyone…I'm only a bother…and a coward…"

Gasper raggedly shed tears. Captured and being used by the enemy, she thought she was being a bother to them.

Rias kindly smiled at that Gasper.

"Don't say such a stupid thing. I won't abandon you, you know? When I transferred you into my family, I said it, right? That...now that you've been reborn, you will live for me, and also find a way of life that can satisfy you."

But Rias' words didn't get through to Gasper, and she shook her head.

"…I just couldn't find it. For me, who just causes trouble…to have value in living is…even b-because of me, t-they're going to capture Makoto-san..."

"You're my servant and part of my family. I won't abandon you so easily. Even though it was finally possible for you to be free! Also, you know...erm, you've built up a bond with Makoto, right?" Gasper's eyes brightened at the name. "He was extremely pissed off when he found out that you were here. He was going to storm over, and rescue you himself."

Some light returned to her eyes.

"R-Really?"

Ise confirmed it with a nod of his head.

"That's right, Gasper! I talked him out of it, since he has to stay and protect his King, but he was willing to place everything on the line for you! For both you and Koneko-chan!" Koneko's face lifted up as well. "So, don't give up-"

Right before their eyes, Gasper was struck by a female magician. The magician seized Gasper's hair and gave a sneer.

"You people are so stupid. It's foolish how you treat such a dangerous half vampire normally. It's just as the old Maou faction says. The Gremory family are as dumb as they are deeply affectionate and overflowing with power."

The magician assessed Rias with a contemptuous look.

"You what?! You saying that I'm too soft!? You wanna see my power!? I'll kill you too you heartless bitch!"

Rias' body radiated with a strong aura, as if she was going to be killing everyone herself.

The magician pulled Gasper's hair, making her whimper out. Rias pulled her hand back, and sighed, knowing she wouldn't be able to make rash movements.

"Maybe you would have gotten more value if you'd quickly brainwashed this half Vampire and used her effectively as a tool? If you had made her Sacred Gear run out of control while throwing this child into the territory of the opposing Fallen Angels, she might even have taken out one of their leaders as well. Why haven't you done that? Could it be that you intend to treat a servant as a close friend?"

"T-This—"

Ise tried to strike back at that offensive remark, but Rias grabbed his shirt, and pulled him back.

"Don't Ise."

Rias murmured against his ear, making him breathe out aggressively.

But she didn't care right now, she wanted to save her servant.

"I…treasure my servant."

Rias was staying as calm as she could, but it was rather difficult.

Hyuh! Bon!

The magician fired a small magic bullet at Rias. Rias' uniform was partly blown away, and white skin peeked out…her breast could be seen a little.

"What the fuck bitch!? That could have hurt my nipple! Are you fucking crazed!? These babies are a gift from my Okaa-san and my Otou-san you know!? Watch it, or I'm gonna open a can of whoop ass on you bitch! That's it, show me your tongue, I'll slap it."

The magician looked troubled on how to respond to that.

"What a cheeky mouth you have. Also, I don't like how you're beautiful even though you're a Devil, daughter of Gremory."

The magician's words were covered in jealousy.

"Good, I hope you're jealous, because you're ugly, with a heart to match."

Ise looked at her incredulously, not believing that she actually just said that.

Koneko however just snickered to herself.

The magician put a blade at Gasper's neck.

"You move and this child dies. Let's have some fun. Also, don't speak to me like that again."

The magician stuck out a hand, and started releasing even more magic. Rias isn't showing any sign of avoiding it.

Ise became panicked on what he was supposed to do. He knew what he had to do though to protect her, and placed himself between Rias and the bullets.

Bon!

The bullet grazed the lower part just a little from Ise's neck, and he felt the pain. It wasn't like for Riser's blast, but it was painful al the same. Ise then realizes that they aimed for her face, which made him all the more angry.

Rias though just went towards Gasper with her eyes.

"Gasper, please cause me a lot of trouble. I'll scold you over and over again! I'll comfort you! I'll never let you go! You can have Makoto if you like! ...Just don't go to his peerage too, I mean, I've lost Koneko there and Yumi and maybe Akeno, so yeah...please stay on my peerage, but do what you want with Makoto, that would be fine, right?"

Ise looked at Rias as if she was a truly great woman, and some fun mixed in as well. Gasper broke up in tears and didn't know how to respond. The tears themselves didn't represent sadness, or any negative emotions, they were all happiness that she felt accepted and the likes.

Rias nodded her head, while Ise couldn't keep back his spirits anymore.

"Gaspeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! Don't run away! Don't be afraid! Don't cry! Me! Buchou! Akeno-san! Asia! Kiba, Koneko-chan and Xenovia as well! We're all your friends! We will absolutely never abandon you! We won't do something like leave you out! And there's Makoto as well! He was the most worried for you! He knows you can be brave, be brave right now!" Ise placed his hand outwards, and activated his Sacred Gear. "Boosted Gear!"

[Boost!]

A red gauntlet was equipped on his left arm.

"Buchou! I'm promoting to Queen!"

"Sure, if you like. I don't mind Ise."

Rias nodded, and his power was raised.

"Ascalon!"

[Blade!]

Along with a new voice, Ise's new weapon Ascalon extended from the shell of his Sacred Gear. The female magicians cautiously watched him. However, he pointed the tip of the sword away from the enemy and at his own hand.

Ise temporarily suppressed the sword's power and personally cut the palm of his right hand with the blade…Blood flowed out of his right hand.

"Fuck shit Ise! W-What the hell!?"

Rias looked at his action dubiously, and even shuddered her own body.

"However, Gasper! It's no use if you don't get up on your own, you know? After receiving encouragement by your Master, and even Makoto as well! You can't let either of them down now!"

He stuck out his left hand and extended out Ascalon that had my blood on it in Gasper's direction. Faster than the magicians could react, the blood, which had been on Ascalon, clung near Gasper's mouth. Koneko looked to the side with a sly smile.

"Ise-senpai..."

"Drink it. The blood of me who harbours the strongest Dragon."

"I-I can't!"

"Why!?"

Ise yelled back, so Gasper gained teary eyes.

"B-Because I don't want an STD!"

Ise's mouth fell open, Rias snickered and Koneko outright laughed.

When Ise glared at her, she whistled innocently, and turned away.

"I-I don't have STD's! Wh-Who told you!?"

"...I'd rather not say..."

Gasper hid her face in shame.

Koneko didn't look on, she just had to look away.

"It was Elmen...Mittelt...Koneko-chan?"

Gasper held guilt on her face, Ise eyes blazing.

Koneko looked back to see Ise glaring at her.

"Y-You told her I have STD's!?"

"...Don't you?"

Ise's eyes began watering.

"No! Of course I don't! Don't say such things!"

Rias snickered some more.

"Gasper, it's fine, Ise's got no STD's."

"A-Are you sure Buchou?"

Rias nodded her head.

"Of course, he's still a virgin, it's fine."

Gasper nodded at her words with a strong look.

"Makoto-san...I'll show my bravery too, like you do...Makoto-san lost his eye and lived...so, I can do this and live too!"

Gasper tasted Ise's blood that had arrived at her mouth with her tongue. The instant that Gasper swallowed his blood, the atmosphere within the room suddenly changed.

An indescribable chill eerily rang through their bodies.

Ise looked towards Gasper, but found out that she wasn't there at all. Only the rope that had been tying Gasper to the chair was left. The female magicians were also shocked that Gasper had suddenly disappeared, and looked around.

They spread their gazes over the interior of the room and...

[Chichichichichichi.]

A weird chirping was heard. Countless bats were flying near the ceiling of the room. The group of red-eyed bats swooped down on the female magicians all at once.

"Kuh! So she transformed, that damn Vampire!"

"Bitch!"

The cursing women pointed their hands at the bats and tried to fire magic bullets, but they were pulled down by something and greatly lost their balance.

Countless black hands were extending out from the female magicians' shadow.

The hands from the shadows tried pulling the girls inside the shadows.

"So this is the ability of a Vampire!"

"Take this!"

Don!

They fired magic bullets at the shadows, but the shadow hands just dispersed uneventfully. During that, the bats wrapped around the forms of the magicians and bit at various parts on their bodies.

"You intend...to suck our blood!?"

"No, our magic power is also being absorbed!"

The magicians were having a hard time. They were at the mercy of the bats and the hands extending from the shadows.

"Ise, that's a part of the power that Gasper was originally hiding. It must have been released from drinking your blood."

Ise understood immediately what was going on with Gasper right now.

"Kuh! In that case, we can only do this!"

The magicians turned their aim towards Ise's and Rias' direction.

"Oh, you want some?! Then come on!"

Ise looked shocked at Rias' words, but she showed a devilish smile.

The countless magic bullets they fired were aimed at Ise and Rias who looked as if she was going to murder, but...

They all stopped in mid-air.

[It's useless. I can see all of your movements and attacks.]

Gasper's voice echoed within the interior of the room. The red eyes of the bats glowed blazingly, it was clear that she was using her Sacred Gear to stop them.

Moreover, she was brilliantly stopping only the magic bullets, and nothing else, showing how much control she had when she was under the influence of blood.

[I'm stopping you people!] Countless numbers of bats made their red eyes shine, and they made the time of all the female magicians in the room stop. [Ise-senpai! The finishing blow!]

"Leave it to me!" Ise started running and touched the magicians. Then, while striking a cool pose in the centre of the room, he cried out. "Dress Break!"

The clothes of the witches who were time-stopped were blown off. As a nosebleed spurted out, Ise gave a smile of victory.

Rias looked on and so did Koneko as she was let out of her binds.

"You're sick you are Ise."

[I'd have to agree.]

Ise, Gasper, Koneko and Rias all looked around for the voice, as darkness erupted behind them. Ise first noticed it, and turned to see Apep standing there, like nothing was going on. Ise's eyes enraged at the man.

"You bastard! You're the one who took Makoto's eye!"

"Aah yes, the lords eye, it was a shame, wasn't it?"

He spoke like there was nothing going on at all.

"Don't say it like there was nothing at all! You'll pay for what you did to him!"

Ise charged forward as his Sacred Gear was activated.

[Boost!]

"Ise! Don't!"

Rias cried but Ise didn't care and charged with the blade. He swung his arm with the blade attacked at the man…

But with two fingers, he caught the blade.

"Ooh, is this all the Sekiryuutei can do?" Apep placed his hand outwards, dark water gathering. "It's clear that we're the superior of the races. Even without my full power, you're nothing at all, you're just a single stain on the ground, ready to be rubbed out."

[Ise-senpai!]

Bats surrounded the young man, and their eyes glowed red. Gasper tried to freeze the man in time, but unlike others...Apep didn't freeze. He looked at the bats, and scoffed at such a sight.

"Silly Vampire, you can't freeze people with powers above your own." He sent a blast of dark water at Ise, smashing his body into a wall, and tore some of his clothing away, he let out a cry as Rias rushed towards him. "Hey, Princess of Gremory, I'm gonna be borrowing your servant for a while."

Rias defiantly stood in front of Ise.

"You're not taking my Ise!"

Apep just laughed in her face, and waved his hand at her, sending out a volley of darkness. She went to move, but Ise pushed her down to the ground, despite the pain that he felt. The volley of darkness broke apart the wall behind Rias and Ise, surprising the pair. Koneko also looked on, worried. Due to being battle damaged, she couldn't offer much in the support of fighting.

"Good movement Sekiryuutei, maybe there's hope for you yet. Then again, for a Master like Rias Gremory, why bother? She's nothing special, just a weak little fool." His eyes went towards the bats in the room, and he waved his hand. A blanket of darkness swept over the bats in the room, gathering them towards him, and then he punched the darkness blanket, revealing a scared Gasper. "Rias Gremory, you have more servants than Hyoudou Issei. This person is pathetic, he's nothing like the other Sekiryuutei's, makes me wonder why Chelia even chose to leave the lord with you in the first place. Did she see something that I didn't? Did she think that the Sekiryuutei would be able to protect Makoto-sama?"

"I will protect him with my life! You're not getting your filthy hands on him!"

Ise yelled out with rage in his voice, his fists tightened ready to fight.

"Please don't point your dirty fist at me, I don't even like Devils, they're pathetic and disgusting. How about keeping your filthy paws away from me? That would be for the best. Also, maybe I should just erase you now..." His hand danced with dark water, and he held Gasper with darkness, she couldn't break free. "...but, this is the perfect chance to get my lord back for myself and everyone, we'll be led into salvation once more. He'll rise in his powers, and rule us once more, into this new age! I wont waste my time with your death!"

"You're mad! Makoto wouldn't do anything for you!"

Apep waved his hand without a care.

"Perhaps not right now, but he'll free us, and for now, I'll be using this Vampire here to unleash some more of my powers among other things, this girl is interesting, isn't she? It was by accident really, discovering that other soul inside of her Gear, isn't it cute? Even housing part of a God's soul, that's adorable."

"Housing a God's soul...what are you saying?"

Rias was confused, but Apep laughed.

"You'll find out soon enough, though when I say soul, I should say part a soul really. Or consciousness, whatever~" Apep grinned, looking towards Koneko. "If this fails, you're next."

"...I wont let you take Mako-kun, if it is him you're after, I'd gladly take his place."

Rias looked towards Koneko, baffled.

"...Koneko, do you realize what you're saying?"

Koneko nodded.

"...Because it is Mako-kun who helped me overcome my fear, and gives me affection often, I also get to decide where my life goes, and it is for Mako-kun, he would gladly give his own life for me...I'll do the same thing because it is Mako-kun who needs help from these people."

Apep stroked his chin with an endearing smile.

"It's just as Orochi said, you're surely interesting. Seems like the lord also has a cute Loli, is that why Ophis chooses to be a Loli...hmmm, well. Either way, I suppose the lord could be into Loli's as well."

"I'm main Loli by the way."

Koneko added, Apep smiling with a dirty grin.

"I think Ophis would have something to say about that." Koneko blinked rapidly as Apep continued. "Since they're here, I might as well begin kicking some ass, as you disgusting humans would say, right? Then, I can take the lord, and we can recover our powers, and rampage through this world, that's what we creatures do, isn't it?"

Darkness began surrounding them once more.

"No!"

Rias threw her hands forward with POD but the darkness whacked it away, like a whip of darkness came out and smacked it away. She gasped, as the darkness became thicker, and thicker, unable to even get through to the person at all.

"Gasper!"

Ise cried, but Apep just smirked dangerously.

"Don't worry, we'll soon seek salvation, we'll be reborn once more, in this new world."

And then he disappeared with Gasper, the others looking on and couldn't comprehend what the hell was going on.


Meanwhile, as that was going on, Makoto and the others stared down Gren, and his eyes merely looked towards the battle that happened in the sky between Serafall, and Katerea. Their battles became even tougher, and showed quite a bit of strength behind their powers.

"Damn, they are quite powerful, aren't they?"

Gren grinned out, but Makoto wasn't interested.

"Damn you Gren, all this because of me? I don't understand, why you were doing this. Why do you want me so much? What could I offer you all?"

Gren cracked his neck, as he smirked towards Makoto and the others.

"Chee, you're rough my lord, as always."

"...That sounds like something that Buchou would say."

Yumi commented towards Irina who nodded in agreement.

"Gren, you know what I am. I demand you tell me. You call me your lord, so you should answer my questions. What the hell am I? Who are my parents? Why was I left with the Hyoudou's? And who is this Chelia-san?"

Gren held up his hands and waved them around like they were spirit fingers.

"Calm down, there's many questions there, with many possibly answers. I wouldn't worry so much right now. But, I'm not going to tell you. I've decided, to have a play with you, and play I shall. I'll make sure that you are also on the worry and fight at the same time. If you can beat me with your friends there, I'll answer your questions." Gren stomped the ground and an aura surrounded him, turning his skin into scales. "But, let me remind you, I'll not be holding back this time! In fact, I'll show you how dangerous I really am Makoto-sama! I've been waiting for the day to face you my lord! Even if I'm not at full power, even if it is locked right now, I'll use the power I've acquired, and fight you my lord! This is will be beautiful!"

Makoto along with the others looked on with narrowed eyes, waiting for the time to strike.

Serafall looked at Makoto and the others from her sky place while fighting off Katerea, and their opponent Gren, then looked back at Makoto.

"Ma-tan, I'm definitely counting on you, I know you can do this. I've got Katerea, don't worry about me, just unleash the hidden power that's deep inside of you! I know you've got the power to defeat him! Use your peerage, along with Xenovia I suppose, and kick some butt! My Queen isn't going to lose to some bastard named Gren! Who's he trying to fool!? He's not even a real person! Take him out!"

"Y-Yes, of course I will!"

Hearing that, Makoto turned to his fight as did Serafall herself.

Makoto's eye narrowed at the young man, as did the others.

"Makoto-kun, we'll follow after you. Since you're the Queen of a Maou-sama, we'll take your direct order."

Yumi whispered towards him, he looked at the others who nodded their heads.

"Alright, then listen to me, we'll-"

Before he could finish, Gren clicked his fingers, and summoned several magician's to their location. Makoto looked on as did the others. The magician's each had magical power that danced around their bodies, and their hands held the equations magic had.

"I thought that you'd like to play for a little while? Since we're gonna be taking our time, there's no shame in handling these people, is there?"

Makoto looked between all of the different people that were present, and then looked at Irina who smiled and nodded her head. She brought out a blade, and she also summoned demonic power in her hand at the same time.

"Alright, we'll accept that challenge. Millicas-san, stay in the back, and provide support with your powers. Yumi-senpai, you and I shall take the left hand side of the magician's, Iri-chan along with Xenovia-senpai, since you two are the most suited to work with one another, work together, and take the right hand side of the group, alright?"

[Understood!]

As soon as he heard that, Makoto summoned his Sacred Gear. From the bird on his shoulder, Makoto held out his hand and the bird spat out a blade. He caught the blade in his hand, and it glowed with a bright holy power. It paled to Xenovia's blade, but Makoto spun it around in his hand and readied himself all the same.

"Interesting, the power to wield holy blades, it is as expected."

Gren stated cleanly, and concisely.

Makoto didn't care, and rushed forward. As soon as he did, the magicians all moved forward towards him. Placing their hands out, the magicians fired off magical attacks consisting of fire, lightning, and other element attacks.

"Freeze!"

Responding to that, the bird opened its mouth and released a freezing ray. The ice ray went all over the attacks, and froze them instantly. Makoto's Sacred Gear could also do that as well, freezing it down to the ground, and leaving nothing left.

Tapping into the power of his Excalibur, he used the power of Rapidly to move faster. His speed increased by quite a bit. Yumi looked surprised as he zipped past her, and cut through some of the magicians bodies, and allowing them to land on the ground, deceased.

Some of the magicians attempted to send out blades of wind from magic, but Makoto activated his Sacred Gear once more, and froze them, then tapped into the power of Destruction, swinging the sword down and released a wave of holy energy, cutting through the magicians bodies, and dropped them down to the ground.

Makoto held his blade upwards, and showed a holy aura within the blade.

"This time, I wont be losing to anyone, especially magicians who attacked this place."

Makoto's will showed itself strongly, and bravely as well, he didn't back down for even a second.

"This kid can even freeze our magic!?"

"Take him down immediately!"

Responding to seeing Makoto's movements, the magicians turned their magic towards him, or more rather, towards his back, while he was busy cutting down some other magicians to the excitement of Gren.

But Yumi stabbed the ground with her blade, and formed a wall of swords, blocking the blades. She used her Balance Breaker, Sword of the Betrayer, the swords radiating with holy and demonic auras, and Yumi held her sword out confidently.

"I wont let you touch Makoto-kun, there's no way whatsoever!"

Yumi, with the speed of the Knight dashed forward. The magicians turned their attention on her, and shot forward magical powers. Using her body, its quick reflexes and the likes to avoid all of the attacks, and got close.

With a swing of her blade, she cut down the magicians that blocked her path. One came from the left, and went to strike her with magic, but Makoto came from the side, stabbing the blade into the young magicians chest, and dislodged it, killing him off.

Yumi looked towards Makoto, and smiled gently.

"Fufu, Makoto-kun, you saved my life once more."

"A-Ah, that's because, I just felt like it, is all."

Yumi giggled and then placed a hand on top of his hand. He looked towards her, and he saw that she looked quite happy right now.

"Makoto-kun, lets mess them up, alright? Lets try a combination of our powers."

"Then lets go right at Gren."

She nodded, and their hands glowed together. They clashed their blades together, and Yumi allowed her swords aura, and Makoto's aura to coincide. Though this was their first attempt, they weren't going to hold back.

Their auras came together in a brilliance like no other, and it seemed beautifully matched. Makoto could feel Yumi, and vice versa, the auras flowing was stronger than they had anticipated, but they kept the power under control, and used it strongly.

""Excalibur Birth!""

Yumi stabbed the ground with the power of Excalibur Destruction mixed in. even though it wasn't the real one, it still packed a hell of a punch. Around them, blooming in profusion, were copies of the Excalibur blades, and went out around them like flowers.

The magicians placed protective barriers around them, but Makoto's Sacred Gear landed on top of Yumi's hand, channelling its powers over ice. The powers went around the young woman's hand, flowing into the swords, and went the magicians barriers were stabbed with the blades, Makoto's Sacred Gear froze the barriers apart, allowing the blades to stab the enemy magicians, and using the destruction aspect of the blades, they exploded and killed off many magicians that were around them all at the same time, shocking Gren at such a display.

At the same time, Xenovia and Irina were on their own side, slicing down the enemies. Xenovia held the blade of Durandal out in front of her, and blocked the rays of energy released from the magicians, then she swung her sword downwards, releasing a holy aura from her blade.

The holy aura was powerfully destructive. The magicians raised barriers to block the attack coming for them. But Xenovia's holy aura was stronger than the barriers, smashing through them with absolute power, and sliced through their bodies, taking them out instantly.

"Irina! You've got to show a good side to you!"

Irina nodded her head, and brought out a bladeless sword.

Xenovia looked at it with suspicion.

"...What is that?"

Irina gained a large smile.

"Fufu, you're wondering what this is Xenovia? It is a simple light blade of course." Things didn't seem to be as they were seen when the blade came out, and Irina's hand flowed with demonic power, yet the blade was light. "However, this one has been, modified a little bit."

"Modified?"

She nodded her head, and rushed forward. Twirling around, the blade of light pinged, and forms of light happened to be on the blade. Small balls came from the blade, and Irina shot them off while swinging the blade, almost like bullets of lights came off, and pierced the enemy magicians, and dropped them down to the ground.

"That's right~ Because this blade has been made to accept demonic power Xenovia. This is my way of growing stronger. My demonic power, is fuelled and converted into a light power. Azazel-san originally made it to try and increase his powers from Devils that would attack him, but he couldn't find a way to have demonic power be absorbed from attacks that quickly, and considered it a failure due to him not being a Devil. However, for me, it is a great weapon, and has been conditioned for it to accept my demonic power, and use it to increase its powers as much as I can. It isn't any Sacred Gear or as powerful as a Holy Sword, but with this, I can convert my demonic power, into the power of light, and have it bend to my will! It shouldn't be any weaker than if I was an Angel! This way, I'm an Devil that can also use the power of the Angels light! And I'll even use it together!"

Xenovia looked on incredulously at the sight before her, seeing Irina grinning from head to toe from the blade in her hand.

Irina held the blade out in front of her, and then twirled it. Summoning spheres of light from the blade due to her demonic power, she shot of blasts of light from the sword itself, clashing with the enemies barriers.

The barriers managed to hold, but when they turned to Irina's position, she was already gone, and had come behind them. They tried to move out of the way, but due to her speed thanks to being a Knight, she cut them down with her demonically powered light blade, and dropped them down to the ground. She then turned to the side, and placed her other hand out, summoning demonic power, and fashioned it into a sword, wielding a demonic sword, and now a light sword as well, she charged forward, and cut down a few magicians with the combo of light and demonic.

Xenovia jumped forward, and with timed strikes of her and Irina, they cleaved their way through the magicians that stood before them. They tried to block with their powers, but Xenovia cleaved through the powers, then Irina would get close, and finish them off with complicated slashes all the same.

"Screw this!"

"Yeah, they aren't normal!"

"We wont lose!"

The magicians pooled their powers together. From their powers, a magic circle appeared in the sky. It was upside down, and from it, a large rock appeared. It seemed to be something close to a meteorite from the Heavens above.

Irina and Xenovia exchanged looks.

"W-Well, Xenovia, you're a Devil with Durandal, deal with it."

"Excuse me? I'm supposed to deal with it? Aren't you a Maou-sama's Knight?"

"No! I'm Ma-chan's future Knight! Difference is, I'm not a monster in the power department yet!"

Irina yelled back, while Xenovia grimaced.

The large rock fell down towards them and gained flames around it. The pair cringed at the sight of the large rock in the sky, however before it could fall on them, a large wave of POD came from behind them and clashed with the rock.

Irina and Xenovia gasped, and turned to see Millicas pooling her powers at a single power. The POD violently clashed with the large rocks, and due to the power that the POD had, the power of the rock paled compared to her powers, and obliterated the rock with her large pool of powers.

"Damn...no wonder she's the Maou-sama's daughter."

Xenovia couldn't hold her surprise, but Irina pursed her lips.

"My rival surely is powerful, but I wont give up!" Millicas destroyed the entire rock, and then shot a blast at Irina. "What's wrong with you!?"

Irina yelled as she dodged the blast, only to realize that men behind her were blasted away with Millicas' power.

"Always keep your eyes on your enemy, rival-san."

Irina's eyes narrowed upon Millicas, then turned to the enemy, her aura seemingly increasing. Xenovia blinked at the sight, and looked on with a wondering expression.

"Even then! I wont lose to Millicas-san! Ma-chan, watch me! I'll take down the enemies, and then I'll perform a blowjob on Ma-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

Makoto, as he cut down another enemy, allowed his mouth to become agape.

"W-What are you saying!?"

"Ma-chan! Trust in me, this is the best way to go about it! Ma-chan, say you'll let me!? I'm not losing to Millicas-san!"

"I'm not losing to you either!" Millicas declared, pushing forward. "Hmmmm, I'll just have to take out more of them, then. If I do, then Makoto-san will make love to me before Irina-san and then we'll be able to become properly a family!"

"No way! I'll do it more! I'll be the next person to become Ma-chan's partner, and even his wife as wellllllllllllllllll! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Like a woman on a mission, Irina ploughed through the enemies with spirit, and vigour. Her blade cut through the enemies before her, each one of them unable to stop her in time. It was like she was powered by the thought of being with Makoto, and she shined in that way.

"I see, then Irina-san is this ready, and prepared. Alright, that's fine Irina-san, I'll use my powers, and take out everyone that is messing with me and my chances at being with Makoto-san! There's no way I am going to lose to Irina-san and I'll marry Makoto-san myself!"

Not wanting to lose, Millicas made POD's in her hands, and thrusted them forward, releasing devastating powers, killing off many of the magicians in one fell swoop. Makoto was surprised by how many she took out so quickly.

Yumi, Xenovia, and Makoto all looked on, they didn't have to do anything as the two girls killed all of them with their powers.

"Erm...are we going to be fighting again?"

Xenovia asked Makoto who shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, after the fight with the magicians we'll have to fight I guess. Though I think it is safe to say that we're going to be fighting Gren after this, though I'm not sure why they are doing stuff like this, it is...something alright."

"It's because they wish to sleep with you Makoto-kun. I guess that's the love of them to find and fight the feelings they have of killing and fight to be the right thing. Don't worry though Makoto-kun, we'll come together after this Makoto-kun."

Yumi smiled at him, as he chuckled nervously.

Once Irina and Millicas were done, they smiled, and looked at the battlefield. It was devastated, and Gren was surprised by such a sight.

He looked between all of them, and then snickered.

"Fueeee, this is going to be fun, I've always wanted to fight my lord, in a one vs...well, four I suppose, no wait, five. Well, that's not fair my lord, you've got four allies with you and yourself, that's five. How unfair is that?"

"You didn't seem to mind having allies just then."

Makoto reminded him of that fact.

"Well, magicians are one thing and Devils with cute weapons are another. I'm not necessarily going to be leaving this battlefield without some kind of conclusion. Apep-sama wants you, and I want you as well. I'll drag your dying body back to Apep-sama, and then we'll finally gain the secrets of unleashing our true nature once more! No more shall we have to struggle with the little powers we have! This time, we'll gain your powers, and have them for ourselves! That's going to be our ultimate goal!"

Makoto, Yumi, Xenovia, Irina and Millicas all make battle stances as Gren does the same, a dark green aura around him. It was foul, and unmistakeably evil. His scaly hands tightened, and his claws protruded forward once more.


Looking on from a distance, was a young woman who held a hand to her breast. Her long blue hair waved in the winds of the night, and her blue eyes focused in on Makoto's face, her face turned upwards, and then a small pink appeared on her cheeks.

"Honestly, even now you're fighting amongst yourselves. I suppose, if it is for him, I shall join the fray as well and make sure he doesn't die."

She sighed out, but something inside of her seemed...happy.

Nothing could be made sure of from just the look on her face, but she looked, interested in something, and also felt, something deep inside of her as well. Accompanied by a hard aura around her, she had made a decision.

The young woman jumped down from her seat, and strode through the battlefield, not caring about what else was going on, she only had one objective on her mind right now, and that, was something she was going to complete right now.


End chapter!

Yup, ended on a cliffhanger! Sorry about that, it felt the perfect time to end, but we've got set ups for next chapter as well as revealing things this chapter, where it seems people are keeping secrets from Makoto. We've got a five vs one on Gren, whatever Apep is going to be doing with Gasper we'll be finding out soon, Serafall vs Katerea as well! We also got some good bonding moments between Makoto and Vali, and Koneko once again showed her love for Makoto by offering herself up, knowing it would be dangerous. We also got more hints on what Makoto actually is, and if you've not guessed, we'll all be told rather soon.
