5. Monster in Kuoh City (III)

Chapter 4. Monster in Kuoh City (III)

---

"This is serious matter Rias." Sona stated gravely, eyes sharper than usual as she stare at her fellow Devil who also have troubled look

There rumor among students that people went missing suddenly this morning. Hearing that Sona instantly take act and shift herself and her Peerage with familiar before went to the location and began to investigate the case

And they found trace of magical energy in there. It barely exist, one could say they got lucky when looking for them and find the trace

"Not just this Magician already can create Chimera that able to be compared with High-class Devil creature, but now it began to make it move more bold..." Sona said darkly

Rias who hearing Sona words can't help but inwardly also feel anger. To think there Magician that not just infiltrate their territory but also creating monster. And now it start to kidnapping people.

It was clear this Magician, is probably expert one judging by how he able to do that. They not dealing with normal one if this Magician capable to create High-class Devil creature level somehow

And that troubled them greatly

Most Golem or creature that create only as ten times stronger than normal men or around that level perhaps. The one that capable creating Middle-class Devils level mostly hailed as prodigy or talented, only few who capable to create High-class Devil level monster, those already dubbed as Archmage instead normal one

And most of them also old... Experienced and dangerous

"According to Koneko, she did detect similar presence like the one come from the monster we fight but it was weak." Rias said as she leaned back in sofa and rub her temple "It not enough to be tracked."

Fighting Archmage won't be easy, both of them knew this. Despite they proud and confidence in their own ability but the one they facing will be experienced person, one who has delved into art of Magic far longer than them

And that, considering if the one who they face is Human. There big chance it actually not, which going to be spell more problem

The best action actually to report to higher about this, and call someone to investigate this matter with some assistance from Underworld directly

But they can't. Moreover like won't actually

It wasn't secret to everyone that Rias and Sona siblings is famous for their... Sister complex. Especially Serafall Leviathan, if Sona contact here now the result would be she pulled back to Underworld, the city will be investigated by Serafall herself and she will be forbid to go to school until this case close

Or worse, she will destroy this whole city

Sirzechs Lucifer would be the best and reasonable person to call. Despite he also have deep affection toward but he more subtle in showing them. But Rias won't call him, no, she not going to

It not like Rias arrogance or what, she knew if the situation is worse she going to need help. But she wish to proof herself, among all Maou, Sirzechs Lucifer is the one who known, his power is not secret, the one who hailed as Hero in Underworld by slaughtering most Leaders of Satan faction when the Civil War happen

A being that dubbed as true Devil among Devils in matter of strength and power, a true monster. Some even would dare to say that his power surpass the original Devil, Satan himself.

When his little sister born everyone have high expectation toward her. And she did, Rias Gremory considered as one of prodigy in her generation, she inherit Power of Destruction just like her brother and her demonic power reserve surpassing her peers

But that's it...

She born with Power of Destruction, having reserve that stand among her peers despite her young age, but that's it.

In society, many look upon her. Some apparently satisfied with her status, many of Devils in her generation also envy her in fact and the below generation also admire her

But to the higher people, they not.

She still remember it, her first meeting with Zekram Bael. When she manifest Power of Destruction, the Bael seems satisfied and proud somehow despite she become Gremory rather than Bael family

But that proud look diminished in time, when he see her training along with her mother

"I expect more."

Despite those three words spoken in gentle, and kind smile but it effect almost like twisted dagger that plunge to her chest

And in that moment she realize, that it not just Zekram that think so. But most of the Head of the remaining Pillar, those who survive through the Great War and Civil War

It shouldn't be surprise.

Sirzechs Lucifer considered monster among monster. Even at his young age he already display sign of abnormality that make him not just stand among his peers, but also older generation

Add the fact he keep training himself and forced his body to reach it limit everyday due to Civil War that waging in the Underworld

Perhaps, because of that the difference between Sirzechs and Rias is like night and day. But Rias doesn't know that, even if she know she still feel herself only living in shadow of her brother

And that's why... Sometime she make foolish decision... Perhaps it because her Pride as Devil that make her do so, but in one sense you can't blame her, she have her own reason after all

"We must find this Archmage as soon as possible." Rias concluded

That is the only things currently they could do. Not just because this Archmage danger to their place, but if it let roam more longer the bigger chance it can spawn those creature more. Right now there no guarantee how many already it have those thing in it arsenal, but one for sure, it surely still not ready to claim this city from them, if it does then they already dead now

"And how we going to do that?" Sona asked "Our best tracker, Koneko even can't locate this Archmage. We can't just patrol everyday, this city while not large but also not small. It will take a few days or week for us to trace it. And judging by the bold move it just make, it will be ready soon since there no way it want Onee-sama and Lucifer-sama caught about it." She said in frustrated manner, she really tempted to pull her hair now but such act won't do any good, it only going to ruin her image. At least if she did it, she will do it when she alone and in private place

"Bite me." Rias said as she sounding frustrated like her fellow Heiress.

They fell into silence for moment as each of them fell in their own mind. Each of them thinking how to dealing with the current problem they have. They have time limit that unknown now, and that was the biggest problem. The worse, that Archmage kidnapping those people for it final ritual!

"Koneko..." Rias muttered, eyes suddenly gleamed in realization "That's it!" She exclaimed aloud, her hands slammed to table lightly and face gaining bright expression

"What? What with Koneko?" Sona asked while blinking, surprised at the sudden outburst

"Koneko able to detect this Archmage because she Nekoshu, she can use Senjutsu. Even if she don't want to use it but that ability work passive! She connected to the nature even if it weak, it allow her detect the raw energy that we couldn't detect!" She grinned slyly in here as her eyes gain light "And we have Nature Spirit in this city, aren't we?"

That... That was... Very good suggestion...

Sona must admit her rival brought a good point. The thought of contacting Issei and Narberal for things like this never crossed in her mind, perhaps it because she too caught in the problem

"I will contact Issei-san, we will go to their place tomorrow after school." Sona said with firm nod

"Tomorrow, not now?" Rias asked with blink

"Look at the time Rias, this is in midnight. Issei-san have parent staying with him." Sona deadpanned before she sighed "As much as we in urgent but I won't force student to wake in middle in night and disturb him, not when he have school tomorrow." She said

"Sona, for all we know tonight is the last night we sleep." Rias responded dully. She knew school and students is Sona territory, building one is her dream and Rias allow Sona to rule the school for respect her as a friend. Add the fact Sona also rule the school better than her, not she going to admit it in front of her

But damn it! There line between emergency and not! This is one of them!

Hearing that Sona blanched openly, okay perhaps Rias right. But on her defense, that was reflex response! As a Student Council President it not proper and decent to make call to one of student in this late! And Issei surely already sleep now!

'But I won't be surprised if he still awake somehow.' Sona deadpanned inwardly before she nod with sigh "Very well, let me contact him." She pull out her mobile phone from pocket and began to press the buttons

"You have his number?" Rias asked, blinking in genuine surprise

"I am, his father give it to me, saying so I can told him if... Emergency things happen." She said with small pause

"Emergency matter? Really?" Rias asked with annoying grin as she waggling her eyebrow at Sona

"S-Shut up! I-It really for emergency thing!" Sona retorted, face become pink slightly. She remember when Issei father give her the number. It was clear his intention is so she and Issei will get close and get know each other in that way. The man not even try to subtle and bluntly said 'Go easy on my Son okay? He quite strange in his own way but he mean good'

If that not trying to matchmaking them then she doesn't know what else is it. It seems Issei-san get his blunt personality from his father

"Suuureeee~~~~" Rias sing songed to her rival who shot her dark look

Grumbling under her breath, Sona press the 'call symbol in her screen phone before lean it to her ear, waiting for Issei to respond

And when it answered, she not surprise since she already thought about it moment ago

(Hello, this is Pollice Office, what I can help you with?)

Now that... Clearly not she expect

"Issei-san? ... ... Is that you?" Sona asked blankly, the voice is clear belong to Issei but the response is...

(... ... ... ... Sempai?)

"Yes, its me... What with that response before?"

(... Ah... Just a phone joke. I always want to said that.)

Sona can't help but sweatdropped, there even no shame or sheepish tone in his voice, bland and monotone like usual. Truly he is strange boy

"Anyway, first I want to say sorry for disturbing you this late Issei-san. Did you sleeping by any moment before I call you?"

(No, still awake. Why?)

"There... Very urgent matter we need to discuss, it related to the people who missing this morning. Does Narberal-san also still awake?"

(Yes we are.)

"Good, then can you come to school now? I will send someone to there to escort you so-"

(You can come here, Mother and Father is not in city, they leave because Father have to meet someone at Osaka and Mother go there as well since she want to visit her family.)

"Ah, I see... Then it good, we will come to there in moment."

(Yes.)

Sona close the phone, turned around she give look to her friend "We will go to Issei-san place, apparently right now his parent is out from city."

"Really?" Rias eyebrow furrowed at that, quite surprised

"Yes, good thing though. He doesn't need to come to our place since it could endanger him if he walk just by escort." Sona confirmed and explained at same time

"Hmmm, you right. You really worry about him aren't you?"

"Of course, he one of students in my school."

"Uh-huh, sure."

'Someday... Someday...' Sona close her eyes as she pull down her glasses and wipe it, her shoulder shaking slightly and small thick could be seen if you close enough to her 'Someday I will laugh at her back, I swear!'

---

Issei stare at the mobile phone in his hand, slowly he throw it away to table without care and turned to see Narberal, Kasumi and Rihan behind him, all of them sit in living room. While Narberal and Kasumi looked worry, Rihan appear to be not that bothered

"They will come here now aren't they?" Rihan asked-no, it more like statement as he stare at Issei with narrowed eyes

"Yes." Issei nodded with blank face

"And you tell them we currently out from city?"

"Yes."

Rihan close his eyes hearing that, he rub his temple and face is epiphany of annoyance and disappointment. He held back the groan that want to out from his mouth, it always like this

"Issei, you can't keep doing this." Kasumi meanwhile not so subtle as she express genuine disappointed face and sadness "Look, I knew you have problem but I don't think Sona-san bad Devil. When she come here yesterday she really care to your well-being, it not a lie, I can hear that from behind my room."

"Kasumi-san right you know Issei-kun. I can sense Sona-san genuine expression too. She want to make sure you safe, unharmed." Narberal added as she also dislike things Issei do now

"She did that because I'm only powerless students." Issei said blankly

"Exactly! That's the point, she even willing to help-"

"That's not the point." Issei cut her from speaking further, his usual lone eye that seems dazed now become sharp and peering at the Nature Spirit with gleam of coldness "Because I'm a powerless students, a Human. I knew you look it from good point but from her own point she did that because I'm a students of her school.

"Don't you see? They did not see me as Living Being, but a crop. And even if I'm bad crop they still going to protect me not because they care but because I'm their property, I'm their crop

"They raised in different culture and different moral standard. Even if they not behave like true Devil but that doesn't change they raised to see me, Human, as mere lowly being, one that they harvest and turned to their own kind."

"You don't know that!" Kasumi snapped, face set into anger and also mixture of sadness "You not even share your tale to them or talk with them longer than few hours! How you possibly know that?"

"The moment that creature enter this house and meet my eye in garden, I already can see her mind, I already see what she plan and what she wish to." Issei said coldly to her

"You can't just look to people mind like that!" Kasumi angrily said as she glare back at him with visible anger "Honey, you should open yourself, you can't keep living like this, you have to trust-"

"I. Trust. No. One." Issei cut her from further talking, voice becoming more colder and despite his face still set to blank but everyone notice the shadow around him began to wriggle and twitching, responding to their master bidding and emotion "No one can be trusted, no one that created by creatures or 'Gods' out there can be trusted or depended. They all same, they all foul creature that only hide beneath sheep skin.

"Sure some perhaps truly a sheep, but the numbers of the wolves that lurking around surpassing them! The moment you communicate with one sheep, the wolves will see you.

"Get close to them will bring nothing but misery!" He finished in tone that said 'This conversation stop here' as he turned around, heading to the door

"Then why you still save that cross." Narberal spoken softly making Issei who in front of door and about to open the knob paused in his track "Why you still wearing Iri-chan cross?"

Issei only silence, his hand still gripping the knob in door. For moment Narberal and Kasumi thought he not going to answer them but he answered

"For reminder... That I, too once belong to this World." He whispered. Despite it very low but everyone somehow able to heard it in their ears, almost like it a silent scream rather than simple hush talking. If one see his eye directly they will find pure sorrow and sadness, but at same time there genuine happiness in there "You not need to worry about lonely if that what you mean Narberal. When my goal reached you won't be anymore."

Tears emerged out from Narberal hearing that, she grit her teeth in genuine sadness and anger "Issei-kun... Its not myself that I worry about it-" She cut herself when see Issei turned to him

Those eye... No... Those eyes...

Those golden amber and blood crimson orbs that gleaming ominously under shadow that casted by his hair.

Just seeing it like that enough to make Narberal wish to die.

"Project Bible will be done in one month or few weeks afterward." Issei spoke coldly "When that time come we will leave this city, untouched and full if they lucky. Until that time, make sure to not get attached, they may die when Project Bible unleashed after all." He stated before resuming to push the doorknob and leaving

---

"I'm Rias Gremory, it nice to meet you Issei-san." Rias smiled beautifully to him

Issei merely stare blankly at her, before he give slow and firm nod "I'm Hyoudou Issei." He said in monotone

"Sona has been talk a lot about you Issei-san." Rias continued, trying to make conversation with the boy further

"Ah, really?"

"Yes, it seems my friend here quite interested on you Issei-san."

"Oh."

"Fufufu, you not type who talk much aren't you? Then I will be the one ask question and-"

"Rias, if you want to have proper chat with Issei-san you can do it later." Sona cut the red haired woman with twitching eyebrow "Don't you remember it was you who said we shouldn't wasting time? We already impolite enough to disturb him this late."

Rias have decency to look sheepish at that as she rub back of her head. Meanwhile, her Queen shoot amused look at Sona

"Ara, Kaichou. Not need to be so cold, I'm sure Buchou here not mean to steal Issei-san from you." Akeno said with smiley face

"This isn't matter of that!" Sona snapped at Akeno, face turned to small pink hue. It not she blushed because have affection to Issei, but it another matter when they talking about this in front of the person himself!

"Akeno-san, I think we can make joke another time. Right now I'm sure Issei-san sleepy and he also have to go to school tomorrow." Tsubaki interjected, inwardly while she also amused at the situation but right now they have urgent matter

Issei and Narberal stare at Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki who sit in front of them. While the first seems not bothered but the second is amused as she smiled and let small giggle at the scene

Originally they have their whole Peerage with them but right now they were outside, hiding and patrolling to make sure nothing will come to ambush them

"I will explain the situation then." Sona said, getting back to the track "But before that, I want to said sorry for disturbing you in this late but the matter we about to discuss is emergency. Here is the situation."

And thus she explain to Issei about what happen and what they plan. How Rias encounter the monster and also how they need tracker to find the culprit. The way she explain it is simple, accurate and to the point in instant

"I see..." Issei said blankly, his face still set into stoic like usual when the story done. He then briefly turned to Narberal and give her look

"Well... I will be glad to help then." Narberal said in kind tone, her face seems beamed a bit "However, I will need time to do that. Seeing there Boundary Field that made by you all in this city..."

"We will set down the Boundary Field temporary, how much time you going to need?" Sona asked sharply

"Let me focus a bit."

Narberal close her eyes, despite she not make any move from her seat but one can tell the Mana around her began to shift and gather. Slowly, her body let small glow and it begin to let out hum of power

The Devils watched with anticipation at this, right now she is the only hope they have to find their current mysterious enemy

Just one minute, the power and the light left from Narberal body, the spirit open her eyes again but instead black orb they see before, her eyes glowing red, the way it blazing enough to consider it as ominous, however the Devils that gathered in there can see despite it dark color but there nothing in there save for kindness

"I can detect this whole city in few minutes if the whole Boundary Field set down." Narberal spoke softly

"Good!" Rias obviously beamed at that "Then let's gets started and-"

"Wait, we can't act rashly Rias, we need to find more details. Remember, we not dealing with normal enemy but experienced one." Sona reminded her friend "We maybe able to drop the Field quitely, however same thing not occur to this person, there big chance he/she could know someone try to detect him/her."

"So what you suggest?" Rias asked sharply "No offense but right now the more we wasting time the more bigger risk we have."

"Narberal detect the area." Issei suddenly spoke, gaining everyone attention "Sempai head there. When arrive, Narberal tell the specific location."

"That's... That's good idea." Sona blinked in bewilderment "Narberal-san, is it possible for you to detect the area where a unfamiliar energy come quitely? Not need to get specific, just a big picture."

"I think I can do that." Narberal nodded with thoughtful face

"Good! Then this what we going to do, after Narberal-san detect the place, we will heading to there, and when we arrive we will contact Narberal-san through far to tell her to give us specific location, and the moment we get it we will go to there as fast as possible so this person can't escape."

"Proper strategy." Issei nodded with approval as he give thumb up to Sona, still have his blank emotion set in his face

"That wasn't bad, yes, we can do that." Rias nodded as well in agreement, she give complimenting look to Sona who merely shift her glasses

"Then it decided, do you have map of Kuoh City?" Sona asked

"Ohhh, we have!" Narberal grinned "Issei-kun! Show them your map." She demanded in excited tone

"Yes." Issei replied as he stood from his seat and began to walk away from living room

"So, Narberal-san." Rias started as she looking to the spirit who perked up at her name mentioned "You are Nature Spirit right?"

"Yes, I am." Narberal nodded politelty "What about it?"

"I want to ask for help." Rias said "As a Nature Spirit, surely you know about art of Senjutsu right?"

"Yes, I know about it. Why?"

"Well, you see. One member of my Peerage, she have trouble in Senjutsu art. I want you to teach her how ot use it properly." Rias requested to her "If you want payment then it won't be problem, just name it and I will gladly give what you want."

"You don't need to pay me Rias-san, I won't have problem to teaching her for free." Narberal said kindly, she being genuine in here. She, herself want to communicate with other people who know about Senjutsu or Natural Energy

"Really? Thank you Narberal-san." Rias beamed to her, happy that she now maybe can help Koneko "Then, after this problem solved, can we talk about this further?" Rias asked, no matter how happy now she is but they have problem need to be deal first, her personal matter can be solve later

"I'm interested in this topic, may I join with you all later?" Sona asked, the idea to knowing more about Senjutsu is interesting

"Sure." Narberal agreed nonchalantly "But we have to learn it in here okay? Right now, I'm not strong enough to make proper demonstration out from this place so..."

"That won't be problem." Rias assured

It was then everyone heard footsteps and they turned to Issei who walk down from the stairs. The boy now carrying one meter long paper on his shoulder, but just when he five or four steps away from get down, he tripped and fell

Everyone blanched when they see Issei body slammed to the ground in sliding manner, then his head crashed to the floor roughly, planting his face to the floor

"Ah! Issei-kun!" Narberal instantly appear on his side, helping the boy to stand. The Longinus possessor now have blood dripped from his forehead, but even so his face still set into blank and nonchalant look "Are you fine?"

Issei merely turned to her with his blank face "I'm okay." He said with monotone

"Are you sure?" Tsubaki face scrunch to small worry as well seeing the boy wound "You bleeding." She pointed to his head

Issei turned to her, his lone visible eye blink once "I am?" He asked and everyone nodded. He then rise his hand, touching his forehead and began to rub it as if searching the wound, when he feel the wet spot he touch it. Then he began to brush it, as if he try to erase some kind of drawing in his face, making the blood come out more

'Isn't that hurt?' The Devils thought as they stare at the Human who rubbing his wound as if it never there

"Issei-kun! You not supposed to rub that wound! It not painting!" Narberal chided as she slap down the boy hand

Issei held down his palm that got slapped, the hand now covered with blood and some even dripped down from his face, drooling through his eye

Then he turned to everyone who looking

"Ouch." He said in monotone "It hurt."

'What with that slow response?! Moreover, why the heck he sounded so nonchalant about it?!' They all screamed inwardly while sweatdropping at the sight

"Of course it hurt!" Narberal snapped "Really Issei-kun." She sighed as she rub her temple. What just happen is not an act but a pure accident, sometime Issei could be clumsy and he also seems slow to registering the wound he get

"Sorry." Issei said, judging by his monotone it hard to tell does he truly mean it or not

Narbarel in response merely raising her palm, she touching Issei forehead. And as if miracle just happen, the moment she touch it, there no light or such things happen. She just brush away the blood and wound on his forehead, but when the red liquid swiped away, there no sign of any wound exist, the skin smooth and healthy like always, as if it never there

'Healing ability as well... I shouldn't be surprise.' Sona noted as she stare at the phenomenon that just happen

"Right, let get back to track." Narbarel help Issei to stand and carrying the paper. She place it on table before began to unfold it

"Oh my." Akeno let out small voice as she stare at the map "This is..."

The map, is map of Kuoh City. However the way the map drawed is very clean. To them who have the map of the city in their place, when looking to the map in front of them theirs is a mere low-class map

The way it drawed, the line, the curve, the marks. All of them so details, yet at same time also simple, easy to understand and see. The color itself also so lively, it as if watching the city from above directly

"This is very good map." Tsubaki commented as she observing the paper

"Thank you." Issei replied in monotone

"Now, I will began to track down the target." Narberal said

"We will take down the Boundary Field first." Sona said

With that, they began their plan. The Devil hoping this would work and they not too late

---

Kolazar open one of his eyes that glowing ominously with pale, sick yellow color as he feel sensation wash over his field

Inwardly he smirked, the Lord plan has gone just like he wish to. There no disturbance or flaw in the process, all went smoothly.

'As expected from His Majesty.' Kolazar thought with awe and respect. To him, Issei Hyoudou is a God, a being who perfect without flaw. Even if he did have then it not him in fault, but the World is, there no flaw in Issei Hyoudou. A man who have ascend from all maggots and insects, he is the one who has become Butterfly, shedding his own skin and become majestic creature

A Butterfly, no matter what will be never considered same as Worm. Even if Butterfly was one, but the moment it shed it wretched form, it turned to another creature, the one who superior

Such is a view that Kolazar see in person who called Issei Hyoudou

If his Lord order him to kill himself in most painful way then he will gladly do so. There no need to doubt, as long His Majesty is happy and demand so, then Kolazar will did it instantly in that place

He feel people infiltrate his base. The base located in Central part of Kuoh City, exactly in middle. He knew it obvious base actually but sometime people never thought about it because it too obvious, according to what he get from his Lord about Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory, those two actually too busy with the details and theory, it was perfect place to fool those kind of people

He feel grim satisfaction as he feel the creatures that surround him in darkness, waiting for his call. Once they was Human, they was a children and people he kidnapped yesterday

Then, the wooden, old door open-no. It more proper to see it blasted away, he had enchant that door before with rune and magic, not too strong anyway since he must be 'founded' by them

Then they step in, one by one. Kolazar instantly recognize the two in front, beautiful almost in inhumane manner, they are Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri.

"Welcome, Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri, to my humble resting place." Kolazar greeted as they slowly rose from his skeleton throne "I must say I'm surprise you found me this fast though, perhaps I underestimated you two too much." He stated as he rub his beard "Though now you found me, how may I help you two?" He asked, his voice is polite and kind, almost like grandfather but the glowing eyes that look to the Devils clearly possess malice intent

"You can help us by explain who are you and what are you doing in our territory." Sona said sharply to the point in instant

"Ah, how rude of me to not introduce myself to two lady. My name, is Kolazar." Kolazar introduced himself, he give small bow to them "I would say it nice to meet you but judging by your all expression it clear you not come to talk, so I will get to the point, I'm here to do research."

"Research?" Rias asked with quirked eyebrow

"About Magic of course, I am Archmage, no. A Necromancer would suit me better perhaps." He stated simply "But my research is... Illegal, one could say, involving Human Experiment." He began to walk, his old-looking wooden staff used as a crutch as if he weak, fragile old man but the Devils he anything but that, even now they can feel the aura he radiate tell them he not normal person "So I come here, without telling you all of course. You going to report me if I come after all."

"But why here? Why this place? Why Kuoh City? The Boundary Field that set in this city also old and strong one, you take big risk by doing this." Sona asked further

"You are very curious one aren't you?" Kolazar chuckled coldly "Why not? Let me tell you, because who you are this place considered as one of safest place, none dare to make move in here, in place where Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan sisters live, those two held very deep affection to you after all." He then smirked, his glowing eyes containing mirth that barely restrained

"You know who we are, and yet you still coming here? That stupid of you." Rias commented snidely

Rather than insulted, the wicked old man merely explode into guffaw. His boisterous laugh is cold, old, and raspy, it sounded so wrong and ugly in their ears

"Me? Stupid? No... It was you who stupid, little girl." Kolazar replied back, amusement laced his voice

"What?!" Rias hissed

Kolazar about to speak further, however his eyes suddenly freeze when they caught sight of Akeno and Koneko. His eyes widen in small margin, making it glow brighter

"Oh... Oh my. A half Fallen Angel and Nekomata?" Kolazar wondered with astonished

The two girls that mentioned can't hold their flinch when they called. The glowing yellow eyes that leering at them somehow send chill to their spine, it almost like an eyes of snake that coiling around little rabbit

"Rias Gremory, you truly have magnificent specimen." Kolazar remarked, eyes still glued to them "How about a trade? I will give you ten creatures that I made in return for those two? I assure you this creature will be more sentient and stronger than the one you face yesterday." He said with giddiness and excitement clear in his voice

Hearing that, Rias eyes narrowed, coldness erupt from her gaze as she take one step forward "Thank you for your compliment, but sorry, I'm not trading with a filth." She said coldly

"Now, now don't be like that. Why don't you take a look to these beautiful creatures I made?" He asked as he snap his old fingers

Then they come

From shadow, they crawling out, revealing themselves to the Devils that stand in front of them

Sona had memorized the pictures of the people that went missing. It was vital information after all, if they found one of them then there chance they will found the nest. Three little girls, four boys, two junior high school girl, and four babies. She remember them all

So that's why right now, her expression is one of pure horror and disgust when she see them

She remember, the faces of the little girls and boys that smiling and grinning happily. Two teenager who in future would grow into beautiful woman. Four babies who so innocent and look cheerful. Their faces was peaceful and bring joy to people who know them

But now? Not anymore

Despite their appearance is humanoid, but they not

Their faces are faces of those people, faces of children, babies, teenagers, their hair even still intact and their skin smooth like original.

But they has no nose nor they has forehead. Somehow, their head mixed together, with their body that now resemble almost like kangaroo, they even have legs of one. But they still have their hands intact, hand that skinny, long, without muscle and looks fragile

Their own presence defy logic and nature. They are so ugly, so grotesque. They are creature that so disgusting, calling them abomination would be suffice for Mother Nature will never ever give birth creature like them, even their existence now rejected by the World as all the places they walk turned to rotten and death, the Nature not allow those creatures to touch it domain, not a bit

"What... What have you done?" Sona breathed out in morbid as she stare at the things in front of them

"This is..." Rias face was also one of horror, so do everyone. They maybe not remember all the faces but at least they recognize them from the data they got. To see those faces now turned into... Into these... These abomination

"What have you done?" Sona whispered once again

"Beautiful aren't they?" Kolazar spoke fondly, he get close to one of those creature who have female face and began to pat her in head, she let out moan that mixture between groan and squeal at his hand "I call them Ghast... They not perfect, not yet, thanks to you all coming too soon before they mature."

"Beautiful?! BEAUTIFUL?!" Tomoe Meguri, the always cheerful girl spat with pure venom and disgust in her tone. The way she spoke as if she just swallow the most vilest poison "You! You call these! These abomination beautiful?!" She shrieked in anger

"Beautiful is only matter of perspective, young child." Kolazar lectured softly, not bothered by the anger that aimed to him "So how about it Rias Gremory? Will you like to trade? They maybe quite fragile now, but when they matured. Give me one or two days and we can have our trade."

"I rather trade with animal than you!" Rias spat, no longer show any sign of polite, anger is the only things that now visible in her face

"Even Devil have their limit..." Akeno voice filled with anger, her beautiful face scrunch to disgust and hatred at the old man in front of him

"Limit?" Kolazar spoke with bewildered tone "Devil have limit?" He then explode into another guffaw "Hohahahaha! Hohahaha! Hahahahahaha! That's a good one young girl, a very good one! Devil have their limit?!" He let out another booming and mocking laugh "Limit? What I did now is nothing compared to your kin sin, Devil. At least I merely turned them into monster, but their souls is free, they already death, free from this disgusting World and I also did not torment them. But what about you and your kin?

"You who tainted Saint into Serial Killer, you turn Father to choke his own daughter with smile and deranged expression after raping her, you make Mother kill her own child that not even born yet. And you dare to call me monster? Limit? There no limitation of sin of Devil, your own presence here now even is a sin!

"You call my creation abomination?" Kolazar eyes leering at Akeno who flinched at the omnious eyes "You, who born as half Fallen Angel, a cursed creature that caused Human to exiled from Eden Garden, and then turned to Devils who commit atrocities that beyond any men imagination. You are more abomination than these creatures, Hybrid, at least they has no mind or soul but you have."

"HOW DARE YOU!" Akeno screamed, pure rage, hatred, loath and anguish clear in her voice. Power flow out from her body, surging to the space around her as six or five magic circle come to alive and blazing

Lightning come out from it. It tore the paved ground, scarring it with trenches that spit the place in crater meters wide. It surging and slithering to it master target, radiating enough heat to melt steel beams to puddle.

But it not reach it target

A mass of shadow appear in front of the old man that looking fragile when the magic circle appear in the living World. The moment those lightning surge toward him, a familiar grotesque creature shoot out from the darkness, taking the strike that intended to strike him

"That's..." Koneko eyes widened in recognition at the monster she just faced yesterday

"You don't think I only have one of him aren't you? May I introduce you all to Alastor?" Kolazar said in polite tone, however if one look close enough they can see hint of confusion in his glowing eyes 'His Lord give me two Alastor, where the other one? Could it be...'

Rias clicked her tongue. She already expect that she will meet this creature again when facing the culprit. But seeing it directly like this...

"I almost done with my research." Kolazar spoke "If I done, I promise I will leave from here and won't bother you anymore. While I have no problem with you all, but I don't want to waste time by fighting if things can be talked."

"Sorry, but you won't leave from here alive." Sona replied coldly, appear to be unfazed by the giant monster appearance

"So be it then. I guess I will collect your body later to be used." Kolazar make gesture with one hand and in instant Alastor roared, his one big eye glaring darkly and charged to the group

Quickly, everyone brace themselves, Gremory group know what kind of monster they face since they had fight one of it yesterday, the Sitri group while not but has been told by Rias and everyone

'Sona... You said you have reinforcement. If it true then it better to show it now!' Rias glanced at Sona who gather power around her as well

They both know there big chance the enemy is bigger for them to chew. Even if it hard to swallow they must admit they need help at least. Sona said she already have plan for this, but wish for it to be surprise since if she blabber it out she afraid the enemy will find out

Noticing knowing Rias look, Sona allow smirk crossed to her face "Don't worry Rias, I have plan for this."

As if responding to her words, a giant blue magic circle with certain symbol appear in front of the group, making Gremory team eyes widened

"That... Sitri clan magic circle." Rias muttered with wide eyes before realization fall to her "Sona! You..."

From the circle, a blur of humanoid figure jump out. Despite only hazy, but everyone can see him clearly somehow. A handsome foreign man appear to be in twenty, having gray hair that seems cover both his eyes, and extremely well-built body. He clad in short black pant and red sleeveless shirt, his feet leave naked. On both his fists, is a flame, a flame that swirling and coiling around it akin like a gauntlet

BAAANG!

It slammed to the Alastor giant body. Despite the fist smaller than the giant monster, but the force and the power it carry proved to be dense enough to make the monster hurled away, as if giant hammer bludgeon him

"That's..." Akeno eyes widened in recognition, she knew this person, he two was two years above her generation when they just enter Kuoh Academy

"Rugal..." Sona smirked as she see the man send away the monster "I take it you can control your power better now?" She stated amusingly

"It take an hour, but yes Kaichou." Rugal replied as he slowly stand and cracked his neck

"Rugal-sempai..." Rias murmured

"Everyone, meet my new Pawn, Loup Garou, you all may call him Rugal though." Sona introduced her newest Pawn to Gremory group who staring with wide eyes at the man who suddenly appear

Rugal merely give nod in greeting manner to them

"Sona! You sly fox! How dare you get Pawn first before me!" Rias whined petulantly

"Hoo.. You manage to hurl Alastor, not bad, you must be quite strong." Kolazar commented as he eyeing the newcomer with interest

"You don't think we will face you without reinforcement aren't we?" Sona shot back at the Necromancer with smirk "Rugal! Promotion to Queen allowed!"

"Promotion to Queen." Rugal grunted

Enormous amount of power in that moment surge out from the man body. Pawn, maybe the most useless pieces in Chess games, but that's it, the moment it reach the edge of enemy are, the Pawn can even become Queen, the strongest piece in arena that only surpass by King, some even would say it is King secret Weapon

And right now, that words very suit him

In instant, Rugal dashed, speed faster than before and he appear in front of Alastor who just stand. A dense amount of flame blazing in his feet and he deliver roundhouse kick to the creature deformed body

Unlike when facing Koneko, the difference between them is far, very far in fact. Where one reject her nature and unwilling to use her hidden power, the other embrace it and manage to master it, add the fact he already turned to Queen, a piece that superior from Rook

The blow that Rugal delivered to Alastor, is multiple times stronger than Koneko. A simple roundhouse kick from him that slammed to Alastor body, possess large amount of force that manage to hurl the creature away, crashing to the wall and plant him firmly in there despite there enchantment in those wall

"Ho, ho, impressive." Kolazar commented with genuine respect as he stare at Rugal 'He use Magic as well in his blow, combining it with his physical strength, this one far better than the cat girl though... His strength too strong, even if he has promote to Queen...' His glowing eyes narrowed at the man who just kick away Alastor 'He not Human... Before he become Devil, obviously he not Human, not with that strength. He was half breed.'

"Rugal-san strong." Kiba commented with awe 'And fast as well, even I having hard time tracking him.'

"Hmph, now that beast taken care. We will move to you." Sona declared "Rias, you won't mind if I take command aren't you?"

"You already make plan since beginning, I will let you have the stage this time." Rias replied simply with smirk

"Good, then. Rias, you go help Rugal." Sona ordered make the red haired woman narrowed her eyes "If what you said about that beast regenerative ability is true then, even Rugal will have hard time, only you who possess power to destroy it."

"I understand." Rias grunted, that sound logical and make sense

"Tomoe, Reya, Momo and Kiba, you handle those new creatures. Careful, we don't know what they capable to." Sona ordered with sharp look

"Roger Kaichou." Reya replied, magic circles formed in both her palm

"Hai." Momo bowed and also prepare magic circles in her hands

"Understood!" Kiba nodded as pair of swords appear in his hands

"Leave it to me." Tomoe said with grin as she pull out her katana

"Tsubaki, Akeno, Tsubasa, Koneko, you four with me. We will handle that old man." Sona said without politeness in her voice as she glaring at the man

"I'm on it Kaichou." Tsubaki responded

"With pleasure, Kaichou." Akeno purred, eyes gleaming with barely restrained anger and glee at the image of burning this old man

"I will smash him." Koneko said with anger visible in her tone as she smack her fist to her palm

"Oooh, I won't disappoint you Kaichou." Tsubasa grinned maliciously as she cracked her knuckles and neck.

"Ho, ho, I never intent to join in fight in first place." Kolazar chuckled as he grip his wooden staff more tight "But if you wish to, then let me teach you a lesson, brat." He sneered at them as his eyes glowing with power

---

As the battle between Devils and the Monster about to began, the one who playing the scene from shadow watching from his place, his face set into blank emotion like usual, he held a cup of tea in his hand while watching the fight from mirror that floating in front of him

"Loup Garou... A werewolf... Hmph, Sona-sempai truly know how to recruit someone. With that man, Alastor won't be a problem." Issei commented and its true

The reason why Rias Gremory group having hard time against Alastor yesterday because there no one who could tank and fight toe on toe against the massive beast. The only one who have power to destroy it only Rias Gremory as well

But now, there someone who can tank and go toe on toe with the beast. While Issei sure in matter of fight one on one Alastor could win due to his regeneration power, but with help of Rias Gremory who capable to destroy him

Yesterday, Alastor like facing two people who only one can harm him, but that person is fragile while the other is almost useless. But now, the creature facing two people where the other one capable to distract him and go toe on toe with him

This will be short battle for Alastor, perhaps he shouldn't pull back the other one in first place

'If only Narberal not begging at me.' He sighed inwardly and ruffle his hair. The Nature Spirit afraid that having two Alastor will be resulting one of people in their group will dead, which probably true, if he send two, there will be casualty and Issei already has plan to handle that

Using grief, he will able to manipulate them further from shadow. But since Narberal beg him to not to, he decide to let them off from the hook

Not it matter though, he already know the result of this fight. No matter what happen, in the end everything still going to went like he planned, all he need only small alteration

He turned his eyes from the mirror and see the clock. It was 2:15 AM now, already this late and he have school tomorrow. He glanced back to the mirror after gazing at clock for moment and shrugged

He always can take extra nap in school

---

Rugal twisted his body, allowing him to avoid a swung of electric sword that aimed to cleave him in two and tore apart the ground he stand moment ago. He leap from the ground and deliver spinning kick to Alastor

The monster got pushed back as he forced to take one step back to maintain his balance. Afterward, he counter it by swinging his massive claw to Rugal who still in air

However, Rugal is an experienced fighter, he also quite proficient in close combat. He twist his body in air, maneuver it and allow himself to dodge, the claw graze part of his body but it not harm him, he left untouched

Flame swirling in his fist, then he brought it as strong as possible and punching the creature in the big eye, making it let out groan and roar that resembling pain. Not letting it just stop like that, Rugal quickly dropped to the ground and give somersault kick to Alastor, making the monster stumbled few steps

But the monster ignore the pain, he force himself move, his massive claw clenched into fist and slammed to the man. The gray haired Devil grunted as the fist slammed to his whole body, and with sound of crack from air, he hurled away, body spinning and crashing to wall

The beast let out roar of triumph, electricity sparked around him before he bend his bottom body down a bit and jumped, straight to where the Devil just crashed, his massive claw raised in threatening manner

However when in middle of his soar, he suddenly slammed down his claw, stopping him in instant, that actually impossible, such thing would destroy his claw no matter how hard it is since he propel away with such speed. But he doesn't care, he doesn't feel pain and he able to stop himself in instant, saving himself from the orb of destruction that almost destroy him

"Your enemy not just one, filth." Rias said coldly as pair of black aura made from destruction blazing in her palms

The big eye in Alastor right arm twitched, as if insulted by what Rias said, it pupil shrinking and growing few times. He bend his body down and quickly jump to the woman above him

The distance between Rias and Alastor is not far. The monster clearly going to reach her and when he did, Rias will be in big problem seeing he capable to possess strength that capable to knock Koneko defense

However she not show any sign of worry, fear or try to make move to dodge. Even if she want to dodge it she can't, she not fast enough unfortunately. However, she still not panic, there no reason to

Just when Alastor massive claw few inches from reaching the Gremory Heiress, a blur slammed to the monster from below, almost like a cannon that shoot, it hit it Alastor with enough strength to push the beast away from the Devil, slamming him to the top of room

Rugal flipped himself in air, gracefully he landing in ground and stare at the beast that instantly come down just when he crashed, not even seems fazed by the attack and glaring at him with his big eye

"Beast." Rugal spit some blood from his mouth, his golden slitted eyes staring at the monster that roared "You maybe not feel pain and can regenerate your wound, but." Rugal cut himself and bend down his body, just in time to avoid another swing by the sword that Alastor launched. Quickly, he slip his hands, fingers grasping the beast forearm, while the other grab the upper part

With small grunt, Rugal pivoted in his feet, he spin his body and throw away the beast over his shoulder, hurling him away and send him crashing to wall once again

"You don't know to fight. You only have power." Rugal finished as he brush his shoulder from the dust "I suggest you finish him now, Lady Gremory, so we can help the other."

"Leave it to me, Rugal-san." Rias said with grin "Can you throw it once again? It move again." She asked

In response, Alastor come out from the smoke and lunged at Rugal. Only for the man, jump straight to him, spinning few times in air and deliver bone shattering kick to his body, hurling the monster once again to another wall

And the moment he crashed to wall, a giant orb of destruction slammed to him. The beast shrieking as his body crumble into nothing, the orb that got him is made of nothing but destruction. A destruction that given shape, it void that controlled, a power that able to turn even the brightest light into nothing

It should end him in that place, in that moment. The Power of Destruction, should burn the beast into nothing the moment the whole of it slammed to his body.

However it not.

The beast had gain power from the Queen before. Blocking enormous amount of lightning and absorb it. The power flowing inside his body allow him to get regeneration ability surpassing normal

But the Power of Destruction not end, it is power that eat anything and it keep eating the body it currently surround. And it controller also not going to let it gone, not a chance

If one look close enough, the will be disgusting at the sight. The body of the monster disintegrate into nothing, but in that instant it regenerated, creating new flesh and blood, but when it created, the Power of Destruction take effect and burn it once again

"Stubborn." Rugal commented as he staring at the beast who slowly stand while roaring and swing his claw and sword wildly, followed by massive spark of electricity that surround him

"Tsk. If you keep healing, then I only need to keep destroy you!" Rias shouted as she shoot another giant orb that made by Power of Destruction down to her target

As the giant orb slammed to Alastor, this time the defense lose. The amount of Power of Destruction overpowering his whole body, it not just ate part of him anymore but eat his whole, the muscle, the claw, the eye, the face, even the cell

Few seconds later, nothing remain from the massive beast, only empty crater and ash

"Well, that end it." Rias commented with smirk as she float above Rugal. She briefly glanced to the man who looked back to her, to think Sona can get this man as her Pawn. What did she offer to him? This man is strong without doubt he probably stronger than her and Sona, both Devils only win in aspect of energy reserve perhaps 'If only I can get him first...' She thought with small jealousy, but she quickly crush that thought. Right now not place to think about that "Rugal-san, we done here. "Now, let's help-"

BOOOOM!

An explosion that racked the entire building appear, gaining both of them attention and they turned around and see the place where Kiba and his group fighting explode in torrent of green flame

Cold, and dread feeling filled Rias stomach at that moment. She turned to them expression is one of fear

"YUUTO!" She screamed

Rugal who noticing the explosion also had wide eyes, he about to act but then his nose twitched and his eyes widen further

'This smell.' Rugal eyes looked down and found three grotesque looking creature corpse, small and only big as kitten just born but he knew instantly what they are. 'Shi-'

BOOOOM!

---

The air hissing. The moment those glob of green liquid spew out, the air itself screeching, they all boiled, turned to yellow smoke that humming in air

Tomoe flipped, she just one moment from hit by those liquid, in fact it only miss her few inches. She skidded in her foot, eyes glaring at the liquid that just splatter to the ground second ago

And quickly feel glad it not got her

The moment those liquid touch the ground. They melting, dissolving, it almost like watching one of movies she see in past. The way it melted, it not just stop in ground, judging by the hissing and the hum of smoke, it still went through until now

And this whole building is enchanted by spell, by a rune, and Boundary Field. This building, even if there lightning struck it, it still going to stand firm unharmed, a testimony of it power

Yet, those liquid just melt part of this building like that without any resistance

'If I got hit... I will be death in instant.' Tomoe gulped as she eyeing the three creature that jumping around her almost in exciting manner

To be honest, she feel sick facing them, facing these creatures. It not because she afraid no, it because they so... Deformed... So grotesque. And it also painful, to see those faces, those faces that belong to innocent people she see in pictures moment ago

To see those innocent, kind, cute, handsome faces turned to.. To... To things like this...

'All I can do now... Is put them out of their misery.' Tomoe thought sadly as she raise her katana, taking stance then she moved

Tomoe admit, she not as good as Kiba. She turned to Devil only one year ago, when she in her First Year, unlike Kiba who ever since he's child and trained by Souji Okita himself, one who dubbed as legend in his era

But there reason why Sona Sitri pick her as her Knight

Tomoe have two things that Kiba doesn't.

The first, flexibility

Tomoe slipped, she bend her body, avoiding another glob of acid that spew to her. The acid almost hit her, the distance between it and her barely few centimeters, yet, it did not manage to hit her

The way her body bend and move, it almost like watching snake rather than someone in human body. She dodge all the glob of acid and deadly liquid that spew to her perfectly, with grace and beautifully

Then, like a cobra that come out from flute sound and bare it fang, Tomoe eyes sharpened as she appear in between two creatures. Katana gripped tightly and she move

Four strikes, each creature get two attack. All of them performed in less than two second. She spinning, twisting, katana being thrown from one hand to another, like a ballerina that dance in stage

And they fell into pieces

As for the second thing she have but Yuuto Kiba not, that is tale for another time

One is a sword that tempered in demonic flame. A flame that hotter than any mundane man create, not just that but the wicked power reside insite it not just make the flame burn, but also latched, like parasite that leeching. That is what kind of flame that swirling in his sword now

Another is a sword that tempered in demonic ice. A ice that colder than any ice man ever thought. It not ice that could be melted easily, not even in front of flame it would melt or grazed. Such is ice and coldness the second sword he have

"Flare Brand and Freeze Mist! Burn and Freeze!"

Kiba flashed in the arena, the only thing that visible in is only blur of hot red and cold blue as he dashing around the creatures. Yesterday he can't do much since the monster is too dangerous and strong for him to cut

But this? This is his domain

The Ghast is fast without doubt they are. But they lack of strength and endurance. Unlike the monster he face yesterday, despite they seems good in coordination attack but Kiba able to pierce through their group

But the creatures they slay by any mean not normal, no.

The moment Kiba and Tomoe slice them to pieces, instead fell down and dead, they growing. The pieces, even the smallest one, they twitching, swelling akin like a boiling water before slowly they rose from the ground, their size growing as well and the grotesque faces, hands, legs, and sharp razor teeth come out from their body

"They have regeneration ability as well?" Kiba gritted his eyes with annoyance. Slaying these monster in first place already bring bitter heart to him when he see those faces, but now not just the number increase but they also turned to more gruesome

Kiba and Tomoe notice stood back to back as they watch the monster they slay rose one by one once again, and the numbers also increasing. The small Ghast hissing, groaning or moan that mixed together, acid saliva dripped from their fangs, despite now it no longer potent like the large one but it still able to melt the ground without problem, indicating it power and potency still dangerous

Then they jumped, fangs bared dangerously, intent to overwhelm them by numbers

"Lightning!"

"Fire!

A torrent of lightning fell down from the sky as if raining, they raging, grazing the ground, scorching them, burn and melting them as if God just throw his wrath down upon those deformed creature

The moment those lightning fell, a blazing serpent shaped flame come down, it almost like a creature that come from hell. It maw wide open, baring it fangs and swoop all the small Ghast down like a snake eat it food

Kiba and Tomoe close one of their eyes as the blinding light that caused by spell combination from duo Sitri Bishop. The flame and lightning rampaging around the small creatures as if children destroying sand castle, burning and pulverizing them without any pity

And when the spell down, they see all the creatures surround them twitching madly in ground, foam come out from their mouth as if they just got rabies. And slowly, their twitch stop and they stop moving

"Is it done?" Tomoe asked, but she keep herself ready, who know they only trying to play death

"I don't know." Kiba said before he take one step forward "Watch my back Tomoe-san." He asked

"Ok!"

Kiba poke the thing with Freeze Mist. He focused his power further to the ice sword, energy flow through it and white smoke encased the thing, freezing it. Then with one more poke, the thing shatter into particles

"I guess... It safe?" Kiba still sounded unsure, he not expert in thing like this. If only Koneko with them now, she busy, he briefly glanced and the Neko girl now have to dodge a raining dark purple sickly spells that rained to her

"If they not becoming problem now, we better help Kaichou." Momo said as she fly down, followed by Reya. Apparently they also glanced at their King and found she having hard time

"Yes, well then let's go." Kiba replied with nod as he knew how Sona and other need help, he briefly glanced to his King and noted that right now she burning down the monster who keep regenerating

Good, that's two down and one more to go

As they about to leave and help for defeat the final enemy, none of them notice the pieces of the creatures that sliced down twitched once and-

BOOOM!

---

Ribbon of waters slithering in air, they all coiling, formed, shaped, the usual gentle looking elemental is now anything but gentle. They spinning, spiralling, grinding, even the air and space itself screeching at the pressure and force they create

All of them soar forward, multiple of them come at same time from all eight directions, raining down swiftly to their controller enemy

They not alone

It like Heaven itself raging. A torrent of lightning smashed to the water, turning the elemental more vicious as thick steam formed around it, the grinding voice was so loud that it almost like stand in front of storm. Yet, the lightning not stopped, it keep coming, surging down and blast the water, empowered it further and further

The two elementals joined force, they all roaring, tearing, carving, and destroy anything in their path. Even the space and air not immune to their rage, a magnificent combination spell that only can be done with proper teamwork or people who has known each other and working together for long time

They meet with darkness

Their existence seems like a curse. The moment they exist everything turned to bleak, dark, void. It as if all the substance in the air gone, as if the air itself death when they come

They like a gas, swirling in air, just like the elemental that floating in air. Then they jammed at them, the numbers were same, the pattern the move also same, they all launched in hexagon way.

The everlasting darkness that look can swallow anything in it path meet the demonic lightning water that grind and tore even the mightiest steel and the wonder of mundane man can create

It not even a contest

The moment the darkness touch the elemental, the raging storm swirling faster, they all turned to almost like mini tornado, all of them absorbed by the darkness that keep surge forward and eat anything like a maw of giant beast

"Khu!" Sona grind her teeth as she push herself to jump away, just in time to avoid the darkness that instantly eat whatever that exist in place where she stand before

Akeno herself meanwhile not so lucky, she quite late in dodging and while the darkness not swallow her but it grasp side of her thigh. The Queen let out scream of pain as she fell down from the sky, albeit she conscious, but she clearly not in good state judging by the blood that come out from her wound as she clutch her thigh dearly

"Akeno!" Sona breathed out as she pushed herself to stand, she glaring at the old man who smirking in amusement to her 'What kind of spell is that?! I had read many spells from library in my Home, but none of them work like that! Except the one who consider as impossible!' She thought angrily

"Oh look, a Fallen Angel has fallen from sky." Kolazar commented sarcastically at the view. He let out raspy, and hoarse chuckle at his own joke. Then, without any voice, any further speaking, he suddenly become blur and gone, just in time to avoid kickes that aimed to his head and waist from behind

He appear far away from them, eyes filled with mirth as he staring at the children "You all too young to caught me from behind." He chided in lecturing manner

SWOOSH!

It was clean, fast, and soundless strike. One that would be dubbed as perfect strike for surprise attack. Even the air not screech and it voice barely heard.

CLANG!

"Like I said." Kolazar let out grunt, without turning his head away, his old wooden and frail looking staff clashed against a naginata that swung from behind him, blocking blow that supposed to ambush him "You all too young to caught me from behind." He repeated what he said, his hand twitching as the naginata keep pushing him, intent to slice his body

Then he let it go, he weakened his arm and let the naginata come to him. But the short sword instead meet flesh and bone, they meet the air as in few inches before it strike, Kolazar already gone

The Devils look up, seeing Kolazar in sky, his sickly pale yellow eyes glowing in omnious manner as he smirked down at them from above "I admit, I won't be able to take you all on. But the current you?"

He swing his staff once, and then dozen magic circle with unknown symbol manifested in the air, hovering above them. They rotate, spinning like mad wheel before launching darkness beam to the ground akin like a comet fell down

Quickly, Tsubasa already carrying Akeno who too wounded to move properly for moment and began to rush away. Sona, Koneko and Tsubaki also do the same as they put strength in their legs and try their best to dodge the unknown dark spell that rain down to them line

And miraculously, none of them getting direct hit by those rains. Despite the numbers of the spells that rain them outnumber them three or four to one but not even one spell able to hit them

But same thing can't be said to the backlash.

The ground erupted and explode the moment those spells blast them, turning them into splinter and debris that spread to everywhere, along with the impact of the explosion

"I'm more than enough to turn you all into pile of corpse." Kolazar grinned evilly as his eyes peering down at the group that struggle beneath him after the wave of impact hit them

"Hmph, big talk." Sona retorted, her cloth tattered and shrededd in many places, blood flow down from her forehead, bruise and dirt cover most her figure "You maybe stronger than us, but like you said before, you can't take all of us. And..." She smirked in here "I don't think your pets can handle my friends." She said and making gesture to surrounding

Kolazar stare at the area where his forces fighting against the Devils. Indeed, judging by how Alastor now got knocked down by that new Peerage and also Knights Devils who slicing Ghast into pieces and obliterated them, the situation is not good

Add the fact the Ghast he made is also not that strong, not like the one who his Lord capable to create. He bounded by limitation of how the World and the system of Magic in this World, that's why his Ghast more weaker, unlike his Lord who not bounded by rule of the World

'So this is what they call "The difference between him and me." Hmm, truly I'm a foolish to attempt make copy of His Majesty creature.' He thought with awe and respect at his Lord

But yet, despite his force weakened, he not show any sign of panic, instead he merely smirking down at Sona who have her own smirk dimmed at the old man vicious grin

"Then, say good bye to them." Kolazar raise his hand, middle finger meet with thumb and-

CLICK!

BOOOOM! BOOOOM!

The creatures that close to Rias and Rugal, and Kiba group suddenly explode into torrent of emerald green dome flame, destroying whatever it touch and creating earthquake that raging in the building

"NO!" Sona screamed seeing the explosion, eyes wide in horror as she stare with numb at what just happen

As soon the flame appear, the soon is also gone. The moment wind back and breeze them away, the only things that exist in that area now is fallen form of their friends, laying in ground unmoving

"I-Impossible." Akeno croaked out, eyes wide and filled with shock

"B-Buchou...?" Koneko rasped out, body shaking as she see the raging flame

"Wha?" Tsubasa eyes wide and she gasped aloud, the tomboyish girl clap her hands to cover her mouth for once and look like a little girl

"Everyone..." Tsubaki whispered, face show nothing but disbelief and horror

"I'm their creator, to make them explode is not hard thing. When they going to die, why not take their enemies down with them?" Kolazar spoke with mirth

"Coward bastard!" Sona spat with bitter rage, eyes gleaming with murder as tears threatened to come out "How dirty you could be?!" She snarled

"Dirty? Young Devil, there no such dirtyin battle." Kolazar chided calmly, not even fazed by the insult "Merely victory and defeat. Anything else is just the whining of the losers." He then grinned cruelly "Get it? Winner." He pointed to himself then point to then "Losers." He let out small chuckle at the joke he made despite it sounded lame, on his defense he already old so the joke would be lame as well "Now... What would you all do? All your comrade is down, your five is the last one." He rub his beard and eyes fell to Koneko who trembling under his gaze in instant "How about this? I will let you all go, but give that Neko Devil to me. Truly I'm interesting with her, there something that make her seems... Different than normal Cat Demon." He said with leer

He being honest in here. While true he can detect Fallen Angel, Devil or Angel just by looking and detecting their aura, but he actually not that good with other creatures, however that doesn't mean he not know them

The new man... He maybe can't tell more details but it clear that man half-breed and also probably linked to some kind of monster in his ancestry, a canine perhaps. However the cat demon truly intriguing him, he can't tell exactly what she is, a cat demon that's it but he can't dig further

"How about it little girl?" Kolazar asked to Koneko "If you want to save your friends, then come with me!" He declared, old, skinny and wrinkle hand extended from above

Koneko trembled hearing that, eyes and body shaking as she began to look surround her

"No! Koneko! No!" Akeno screamed deviantly as she struggle to stand, but the wound on her thigh make her stumble

"Don't go Koneko!" Tsubasa also show his disagreement

"Koneko! Think about it clearly!" Tsubaki added

"I won't let you go Koneko, imagine how Rias will react when she wake up!" Sona said as she give look to the little girl

They all too wounded to continue. The situation is clearly bad, if they keep fighting...

"If... If I come with you." Koneko gulped as she stare at Kolazar above him "W-Would you let everyone go?"

"NO! Koneko! Don't you dare leave us!"

"Koneko!"

"Koneko please!"

"Don't be a foolish Koneko! Rias will searching for you in everywhere! Even if she have to break some treaty! You know that!"

"I swear on my Magic that I will let your friends go." Kolazar said firmly with solemn nod "I also going to leave from this city in instant, I have no business anymore in here after all." He then extend his hand further, palm opened in grasping manner "So come here little girl." He stated

"No! Take me!" Akeno yelled as she glaring at the man "You said before you also want me right? I'm Half Fallen Angel and Devil!"

"As much the idea is very tempting, but I'm afraid I no longer interested on you." Kolazar said simply, brushing off the offer "Nothing special come from you young Devil, I more interested on this cat girl."

Sona who watching the situation feel helpless, she don't know what she should do now! Damnit! She is King! How can this things possibly happen?!

It was then she feel familiar energy and she stiffened, her eyes darted to one of crater, then narrowed. Instantly plan formed in her head and she give look to Tsubaki who notice it since she observing her King since the beginning

Akeno bit her lips, truthfully she doesn't know what else to say. But... If this keep going... Then Koneko will.

"T-Take me!" Akeno demanded as she shouted once again "I'm daughter of Barakiel!" She declared and she see the old man turned to him with surprise look "Yes! That Barakiel, one of Cadre of Grigori! The blood of one of mightiest Fallen Angel flowing within me! I also belong to Himejima clan! One of Great Families! I'm not a mere Fallen Angel I assure you! Surely I'm more important than her!"

"Akeno-sempai..." Koneko feel touched, to think she will declare herself like that for save her

Kolazar eyes narrowed after hearing that, his glowing eyes peering down at the Himejima "And what, make me going to believe you? For all I know it could be lie."

"I swear it! In my status as Devil, Fallen Angel, and of my Mother name! I'm not lying!" Akeno retorted "Also, what make us going to believe you will let us go after you got Koneko?!"

"Don't assumpt me to be on same level with you, little girl." Kolazar sneered in disgust and disdain "I already said it in first place, I did not seek for violence and will leave but you all in your own arrogance decide to attack me, a man who superior than you!" He declared before snorted "Not like I care though but... Let just say I believe in you." He said as he began to hum 'Daughter of one of Cadre of Grigori, along with blood of one of Great Family. This is quite offer, I can take both of them with me but I'm not that greedy, beside if they together the chance they will rebel also bigger, hiding two person also harder than one so...'

While Kolazar in deep thought, Sona give subtle glance to him who seems not bother to her anymore. Closing her eyes, she focus her power as subtle as she could, imagining the result that will appear and how it will working.

"You."

A familar voice suddenly echoed in the hall, eliciting gasp and surprise voice from people around. Even Kolazar also show small surprise as he tilt his head to the direction

Blood crimson aura covering her, followed by darkness, a void that absorb and turn everything around her into nothing, a mere ash that soon also eaten by those void

Battered, injured, and exhausted, Rias Gremory stand with face pure of anger. Her body condition seems not bother her as her rage flowing like a lava that ready to erupt from active volcano

"Still awake? I'm surprised." Kolazar commented genuinely, his eyes then began to look at her surrounding and noted there huge creature close to her, the size around 6'5 feet perhaps. The creature clad in gray fur, resembling beast and- 'A werewolf? As I thought. Did he cover her before the explosion happen?' He thought

"WILL NOT TAKE MY PEERAGE!"

Rias bellowed strongly, the Power of Destruction gather around her, swirling, dancing, and slithering around her before they shoot out from both her palms. The destruction that given form roared when it let loose, it swirling and shoot toward the air in shape of giant serpent dragon that launched to Kolazar

"Naïve!"

With simple teleportation, those power that capable to turn anything into nothing, into void, missed him completely, soaring pass through him and away

Appear few meters away from Rias, Kolazar eyes gleaming and he glaring at her "As expected from Sister of Lucifer, those power will able to end me however, it won't do anything if it not hit me." He rise his staff, dark sickly purple aura formed on it tip in menacing manner "Perhaps I should make sure you down for real this time." He stated as he prepared to blast the girl

However to his surprise, isntead frustration, anger, or panic, the red haired Gremory merely smirked at him

'What so-'

VRRROOOOOOOMMMMM!

Kolazar turned around when heard a power that humming in air, and his eyes widened in shock when he see the serpent that made by Power of Destruction soaring to him, but not just that, the size of the serpent seems growing, more larger, and the quantity of power in there also doubled!

'What the?! How?! She obviously can't control it so- a mirror?!' He shocked further when see one of Devil, the Queen of Sitri now holding giant mirror that now shoot out the Power of Destruction toward him. What kind of mirror is that?! 'Tsk! Doesn't matter! I still could-'

"You won't get away!" Sona yelled as she slam both her palms to the ground, channeling her power in instant

Water suddenly burst out from the pace around him, circling and slithering in the air like a snake that coiling. The Necromancer barely able to speak before he engulfed by the water, drowning him as he gasped in dome of water that trap him

'W-Wha?! H-How?! This close of spell! I should notice it in first place! Add the fact that-' Kolazar cut himself as his eyes widened at the sight of giant serpent made of void now open it giant maw to him. Seeing this he inwardly cursed at that moment! If he lucky he could

Then he feel it

Nothing...

He feel nothing...

The moment he try to pull his power he feel nothing... The thought of that make him freeze, stopping him from his struggle to free for moment. How? How could his power can gone like this?! How did-

Ah...

So that's it...

Realization dawned to his eyes in instant, his panic expression slowly turn to happy smile, despite the death that approach him in form such terrifying monster he smiled rather showing any fear

'It seems... I'm too full of myself, I hope you forgive me my Lord, for this fool has try to stray from your plan due too excited. I hope with my life gone, you can be satisfied.' He thought warmly while let out chuckle that muffled through the water sphere that drown her

And the giant serpent bite him down, then everything went black

---

Issei stare at the mirror that show death of one of his creation. His face is blank like always, even when the darkness engulf the scene of the mirror suddenly he not even blink or flinch

Slowly he close his eyes and shook his head, despite his face blank but inwardly he disappointed, slight satisfied and small sadness at what he just see. The moment he create Kolazar, he knew the Necromancer would do thing like this

He create him with that thought after all. He give the man too many emotion, resulting him to get more easy to caught in atmosphere. He knew such thing would happen the moment he did that, despite his loyalty to him is undoubted but living being still have flaw

That flaw... That flaw make him disappointed... If he didn't interfere before, the chance of the Gremory and Sitri win will be zero. And if that happen, then they will report it to higher and began to investigate this area more deep, that is not something he need now. And kidnapping one of them? That old man too full of himself, don't he know how risky it is?

Still, he also can't help but satisfied to see his creation show such... Self aware... To see him really like a true living being. That brought satisfaction greatly to him, it mean his imagination still not disminished and work properly like usual

To create soul like Narberal, he can't use his logical side. Because soul is something that you can't explain no matter what, logic won't be able to explain how soul created, to create a living being that like Human is considered as one of things that can't be explained

So to create it, he need one thing. Imagination.

And seeing the result of this, he must say he completely satisfied. Add the fact Kolazar act give him new information about Akeno Himejima. He knew he recognize Himejima name somewhere before and now this just proof it, and she also appear to be daughter of Barakiel, one of Leader of Grigori

And he feel sadness... To throw away his creation that have emotion like that, even he merely prototype but it without doubt he was a success

He promise in future he will use Kolazar name to one of his greatest creation to honor the old man, or use that name as something great

"Well..." Issei mused aloud, small rare smirk crossed to his face "It seems, I get a lot more than what I bargained." He chuckled a bit before his face back to stoic and he stand

With this, his plan is complete. He get where Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri already, which mean if things keep going smoothly from now on, Project Bible can be unleashed in next month or few weeks afterward without any problem. And if they lucky, there won't be any casualty save for buildings that destroyed when the project released

And when Project Bible done, he can move on to another project. When it done, it will make the other project easier. And after he finish one or two more project after Project Bible.

'Nothing will stop me from reaching my dream and goal.' Issei thought firmly as he clench his fist tightly, a gleam appear in his lone visible right gold colored eye and his left crimson colored eye, followed by his smirk of glee

Hello all! New chapter have come! Sorry it take two or three days but this one quite long in return! XP

And yeaaaaaahhh! The battle between Kolazar against Rias and Sona group! Wohooo! It finally end! How is it?! How the battle?! I hope you taking liking to it!

In here we see Issei dark personality a bit, as you can see he not one of 'good', from that part I also already give you all plenty thing about Issei personality and how he will act in future

As you can see there change in here due to this, instead turned to Sona Rook, Loup Garou turned to her Pawn! There reason why she pick Pawn rather Rook though! It will be revealed in next chapter. As you can see, in here, Sona has yet to reincarnate Saji or Ruruko. I don't think Sona make Ruruko to Devil seeing she is first year and all, however if she did then forgive me, and I will pull lame excuse that this is AU! So you can't mad at me! Tehee ;P

Anyway, as you can see Loup Garou, or Rugal, is quite strong! Originally his raw poer probably around at level of Koneko or more, however his skill is something else seeing he obviously not just some ordinary guy who know nothing about supernatural! And when he become Pawn, he gain Boost power, enough for him to be compared as High-class Devil perhaps with his combined skill that compensate his strength

And when he become Queen, let just say this guy can give Sairaorg who still got his power sealed and not go all out some challenge!

Few of you notice it and I be grateful for that. Alastor while possessing strength, endurance of High-class Devil and speed that considered close to be one, but it only a beast. A mere creature that doesn't know strategy and has no skill. The reason Rias Gremory group got trashed away yesterday because she has no peerage who can stand against him

Same thing will occur to Sona had she not possess Rugal on her side, add the fact Sona have to deal with Alastor healing ability. Rias group actually has bigger chance to win against Alastor rather than Sona's in truth

Anyway! As you can see, Issei already reveal that he have plan. Something called Project Bible! Oho! I wonder what is it eh?! XP

And as you can see, he also create Kolazar and give him... Emotion. Some of you already aware what Issei speciality, even pointing it in review! And I glad you caught it! Hahaha! I won't tell though, in future it will be revealed

And it seems I going to need some Pawn for Rias. Hmm, I wonder what kind of person that going to suit her, you can give your opinion of course :D

Next chapter will be the aftermath of course and epilogue for this arc. We also going to get glimpse of Issei past further and another reason why I put this as D×D crossover. And Kolazar data also going to added in next chapter!

Aaaaand sadly, I going to admit, starting next chapter my update will get... Slower. I'm busy with my college, I just got C in my exam and it doesn't counted as pass, it have to be B- or B. So yeah, I'm in problem now

I probably going to update twice or once per week start from next chapter, sorry for disappointing you all but please understand ok? :D

By the way, prologue until chapter one has been beta edit, you can reread it if you wish to! XD

Oh, almost forget, the monster that Kolazar create from those people, it come from Lovecraft, it called Ghast! Before that, I will make exclamation

I did not own anything! I did not own Lovecraft, D×D, Nasuverse, and everything! If I own them, I will be a God! And having so much money already! I will create device that capable to write, drawing, and creating movie automatically just by a mere thinking! Waaaa! Imagine such useful device! *sigh like a dreamy fangirl*

EHEM! Well! I guess this is it for now, I hope you love this chapter! Please Favorite, Follow, and Review

Ja Ne! XD
