The blaring of an alarm clock filled a lusciously appointed room filled with the finest furniture imaginable only to be interrupted by a lightspear exploding a wall of said room before another one destroyed the alarm clock as well. Riser grunted in annoyance at what had rudely interfered with his waking up. It was none other than the warmonger Kokabiel.

"I do not apologize for waking you in such a crude manner, but your dream of having kids with Rias Gremory will die soon by my hands, as will all of Devilkind. I shall reignite the Great War." Kokabiel stated.

[System Alert! New Quest!

Blood and Corpses

Kokabiel has announced his intent to erase everything that you worked to build up. Do you have what it takes to fight a Cadre class Fallen Angel?

Reward: ?

Failure penalty: death of yourself, your peerage, family, and all Devils.]

Riser merely scowled and shouted, "How dare you announce that you intend to kill MY wife! I shall end you if you so much as touch Rias!"

"I have the strength to act on it. You are just a High-class Devil, but by starting the Great War anew, I shall prove that the Fallen Angels are superior to all." Kokabiel remarked as he threw a lightspear that slew Mira just as she opened a nearby door.

Riser got up and rushed to Kokabiel, at which point Riser threw a right hook that Kokabiel blocked with one of his wings. Kokabiel then backhanded Riser with enough force to knock him back onto his bed. "You're too weak, Riser. Even the Red Dragon Emperor you defeated would be more of a challenge than you. Farewell." the Cadre said before creating a lightspear that he threw at Riser. The spear pierced his heart before exploding. As his consciousness faded to nothing, Riser noticed one final notification.

[Quest failed!

You did not have what it takes to fight a Cadre class Fallen Angel. You are now dead and Kokabiel will go on to exterminate all of Devilkind.]

With Kokabiel, he then asked a Fallen Angel that just flew to him, "How long will it take before the Devils rally to war over this murder?"

"Not very long, master Kokabiel. I have already slain the Gremory girl's servants and brought their heads." the Fallen Angel answered before bringing out the heads of Asia, Issei, Akeno, Kiba, Gasper, and Koneko, all of which had terrified expressions on their faces.

"Excellent work. What about Rias herself?"

"Right here, and the head of the lone daughter of Lord Phenex." Another Fallen Angel said as he arrived before he brought out the severed heads of Rias Gremory and Ravel Phenex.

Kokabiel laughed maniacally before saying, "We will finally have our war! Let's be off to see it begin!"

The three Fallen Angels then flew off.
