Chapter 10 Now Will You Join Me
"I have heard many things about you, supposedly of your generation, you are the strongest youth when it concerns magical power, and even though you lost your birthright you were still able to keep your high-class devil status. This raises my current question what does a high-class devil-like yourself want with a fallen like me?"
"I want information on why some rogue fallen are operating in my sister's territory and after our conversation, if you decide you want to join my peerage that would also be a plus. If you have nothing else to say I will go next, does Azazel know you are here...I doubt he wants you guys killing humans with sacred gears?"
Mittelt just shakes her head, "we are acting in secret. But at this moment he could be on to us, and if he is, I don't know why he hasn't acted yet,"
Mittelt then pauses gathering herself, "now it's my turn," Anos just stares at Mittelt already having a feeling of what it might be, "earlier you told me you were a devil but I don't believe that is the full truth. There isn't a devil alive who has the power to raise the dead without the evil piece system. Plus you survived getting stabbed through the heart which isn't possible, so what are you truly?"
Anos's eyes were still closed with a neutral look on his face, Ophis then turns to Anos slightly with keen interest. Then Anos opens his mouth speaking slowly and carefully, "let me ask you this then do you believe that there could be more realities outside of this one?"
Mittelt raises her eyebrow in a questioning manner, "you mean like different realms or something?" Anos shakes his head, "I mean another earth that has similarities to this one but is different."
Mittelt smirks then burst out laughing wiping away a few tears, "are you saying you are a devil from another world. That's the craziest thing I have ever heard?" After calming down after a few seconds Mittelt looks at Anos and sees that his eyes were still closed, "hey you were supposed to tell the truth?"
Anos cast a few barriers with both Mittelt and Ophis noticing this with Mittelt just narrowing her eyes, "what are you planning?" "Well you wanted proof so I shall give it to you, but let me ask you this how much do you trust me? "
"Absolutely zero." "How about you Ophis how much do you trust me?" Ophis tilts her head in confusion, "I do not know?" Anos outstretches his hand to Mittelt, "grab my hand and I will show but if you try to resist the spell it will hurt."
"Why...what do you plan to do?" "I plan to show you some of my memories and prove it to you." Ophis pokes Anos's shoulder grabbing his attention then points herself, "I wish to see also." Anos rubs his chin thinking upon her words then outstretches his hand, "sure but don't forget our agreement."
Ophis just nods and grabs his hand, "now Mittelt grab my hand." Mittelt slowly reaches for his hand pulling away slightly then nods to herself finally grabbing his hand, "now let me remind you both don't fight the spell and just let it happen. Also, remember these are my memories."
Both Mittelt and Ophis don't say anything just and just for what happens next then Anos inhales then exhales softly saying, "Evi," with Mittelts and Ophis eye's rolling into the back of their heads as the spell takes its hold.
Ten Seconds Later
To both Mittelt and Ophis it seemed like an hour past but it was only ten seconds, Mittelt lets go of Anos's hand blinking rapidly looking at her surroundings, "wait where am, oh yes we were looking into your memories."
She then closes her eyes while shaking her head to try and make sense of what she saw, "that can't be real if so then you are a god killer...you are an actual god killer. A devil no you're something worse; a monster capable of destroying our world. Are you here to take over our world do you want to kill us all."
Anos just shakes his head, "no, I have no intention of doing anything to this world or its inhabitants, I am just trying to return home that is all I want but do you believe me now?" Anos then looks to Ophis who was still holding his hand, "you can let go now."
Ophis was looking at his hand then looks up to him, "I wish to see more memories?" "Maybe another time. Now does that answer your question?" Mittelt raises her head and comes out of her thoughts, "yes…no…I don't know…this is still hard to believe. That you are from another world."
A teasing smirk forms on the corner of Anos's mouth, he then closes his eyes, "I don't mind showing you something else then? " Suddenly Mittelt feels the surrounding air get heavier as her head slams on the table cracking it slightly, with her throat drying up, she then slowly moves her eyes to Anos but her attention moves to his eyes which were glowing with a weird pattern.
But the power she felt from his eyes was similar to the power Rias used to kill her but this felt more powerful and much more destructive in nature. She wanted to run but her mind couldn't form any complete thoughts, she was like a deer in the headlights. Deep down she knew that it didn't matter if she tried to run if Anos desired it she would be dead and she could do a thing to stop him.
On the other hand, Ophis was staring intensely at Anos reaching her hand out to touch his eyes whispering, "beautiful." But Anos heard her clearly, he then looks at her curiously, "beautiful you say...thank you."
"What happens when people see those eyes?" Anos says noting and just gestures toward Mittelt. Who was shaking in fear trying not to pass out from the destructive aura emanating from his eyes.
Ophis then looks back to Anos with a small smirk on her face, "so this is the amnios power I sensed eighteen years ago. So this your power what do you call it? What does it do? It feels like the power of destruction from your brother but this feels similar and more powerful?" Anos just winks, "I never said I was going to answer your questions."
Ophis just sits back down, "I understand," she then turns her attention to Mittelt, "fallen ask what the eyes are called."
Mittelt hadn't regained her composer yet and was still staring in fear at Anos and not to mention she still hasn't gotten accustomed to Ophis's presence but was still scared anytime she locked eyes with her. She was also having a hard time breathing because of the crushing aura eminating from his eyes "I probably would but it isn't my turn."
Then Anos blinks and the suffocating aura that Mittelt was feeling disappears and she slowly starts to calm down lifts her head from the table, as Anos repairs the crack that she created on the table.
Mittelt's eyes then turn to Anos with fear in them and she slouches a little in her chair to make herself appear smaller as she awaits Anos to ask his question, "what are the rogue Fallen Angels planning in my sister's territory? "
Mittelt's shoulders stiffen and she lowers her head slightly, "believe it or not but I do not know the full plan we were just told to capture a nun and take her sacred gear. Raynare was our leader so we didn't know who she was getting orders from but we knew he was at least powerful if Raynare chose to follow him. All she told us was that something big was about to go down. But I only agreed to follow her because I was able to kill lots of devils."
Anos strokes his chin then looks down to Ophis, "hey Ophis what do you think after hearing that, do you have any people in your group that are planning anything Kuoh? " Ophis just looks up to him and back to the Fallen Angel, "there are angels, fallen angels, devils, and other beings in my group. But I do not know all of them. So there is a possibility…but I do not know for sure."
"So what could the Fallen want with a nun's sacred gear, " after saying this Anos then closes his eyes to think of what they could possibly want. "I have a few ideas about what might be going on," Both Mittelt and Ophis look to Anos wondering what he was about to say next, "at first it doesn't make sense to come to this town just to steal one nun's sacred gear but let me ask you what type of sacred gear is it and if it is what I am thinking it is. Then my hunch could possibly be correct? "
"I believe it was one of the rare healing sacred gears but I can't be positive." "Are you sure it was a healing type?" Mittelt nods, "good then that clears everything up. They could be trying to restart the war. " "Wait how did you jump to that conclusion all said I was that it was probably a healing sacred gear?"
"Hold on just let me explain, after the war ended a lot of people were bitter about how the war ended in a stalemate. And even after the war ended there were still skirmishes happening but the war still never started again because the leaders of the three factions didn't want another war. So let me ask you this then, out of the three factions who do you think is more susceptible to go to war at the moment?"
Mittelt just shrugs but Ophis speaks up, "the devils." Mittelt then looks to Ophis raising her eyebrow, "how in my eyes they are the largest of the three factions even after their civil war." Anos nods in agreement with Ophis, "true but they have just as many weaknesses, and two live here in Kuoh."
"What do you mean two…" Then Mittelt's eyes widen in understanding, "you mean your sister and sister of Serafall Leviathan?" "Exactly my brother and Serafall love their sisters deeply and would kill anyone who tries to harm them. But I doubt my brother will want an all-out war but he would want the head of anyone who wants to harm our sister. Although the same can't be said about Serafall she might want an all-out war even if she has to fight all by herself.
I doubt a war will break out but a large conflict will most likely happen and in large battles, a healer can become very valuable. Definitely, if it's a powerful healing sacred gear."
"So you think that my comrades are trying to assassinate the sisters of the Devil Kings, I can't lie I wanted nothing but a war against the devil. But after joining Grigori and meeting Lord Azazel, I just wanted to avenge my sister and I don't need a war to do that."
Mittelt then sits up a bit in her chair as she feels a little less terrified of Anos, "if you don't want to destroy our world why are you here," "in all honesty, I do not know, I was supposed to reincarnate two-thousand years later in my own world but as you can see that didn't work out."
Mittelt lowers her head slightly feeling a little bad for Anos, "so why did you go, Rogue? " "It was Raynare she is a master manipulator and good at persuasion. So when she offered a way for me to kill a lot more devils than I could in the Grigori. I was enthusiastic since Azazel didn't let us freely kill devils unless they stepped out of line."
"I see so you betrayed your friends and family just to kill more devils." Mittelt scoffs in annoyance, "so you are saying if given the chance to avenge someone you lost you wouldn't take it."
Anos slowly shakes his head, "no I would but I wouldn't betray my family and friends to get my revenge." Mittelt opens her mouth but looks away in defeat while clenching her fist under the table. Noticing her silence Anos turns his attention to Ophis, "hey Ophis could you find out who is trying to assassinate my sister and the sister of Serafall."
Ophis just looks up to him, "why? I have no reason to help you." "How about this then if you did this I will help you." A dry smile forms on her face, "so you will join my group and help me kill great red? "
Anos just shakes his head, "I never said I was going join your group, and I never said I was going to kill him either." Ophis then tilts her head in confusion, "I do not understand, how will you help me if you don't plan on joining my group or killing great red?"
Anos shrugs, "I have my ways." "Fine I shall put my trust in you but I need assurance that you won't betray me." Suddenly a purple snake made of magic forms around her arm, "take this it will link our souls and if you break your promise it will kill you."
Anos looks at the magic snake with a curious gaze, "thanks but I have my own way of making promises," Anos lifts his hand toward Ophis and a blue sphere of magic forms, "is this magic from your world what does it do?"
"It's a type of contract magic called Zecht, all you have to do is pour your magic into it and the pact is made. With the price for breaching the contract being death." "I can not die so you are the only one at risk. But I do not sense that you are trying to deceive me so I will take you at your word. "
Anos then takes a few seconds to give a brief description of how to activate the spell then both Anos and Ophis extend their hands toward the blue sphere and in unison, they both say, "Zecht," while pouring their magic into it. Then the sphere glows yellow and disappears, Ophis hops out of her chair, "I shall take my leave to uphold my end of the contract. But don't forget we shall have our UNO battle again and I will not lose."
Anos nods, "I will be happy to take you on anytime you want, just give me a heads up beforehand." In a flash of purple Ophis disappears leaving both Mittelt and Anos alone on the roof.
Scene Change to the Hideout of Chaos Brigade
"Ophis! You have returned where have you been? You have never been gone too long." Ophis just looks around as if searching for someone, she locks eyes with three devils, then walks to the door to leave.
Then a devil with black armor with a cape, long brown with bangs covering her brown eyes steps in front of her, "hey did you hear Katerea, where have you been? " Ophis just looks up to him with him taking a step back, "move Shalba you are in the way and I am busy."
"We were just wondering where you have been? " Ophis just tilts her head in curiosity, " why do you care to know? I always leave without telling anyone where I am going. "
Shalba coughs in his hand to try and ease his nervousness, "you are supposed to be our leader. You can't be leaving when we are about to act out our plans. " "That is true but I have no intention of telling you my whereabouts. Now move or be moved."
Shalba was starting to get more ticked off because Ophis wouldn't just answer his question, "well could you at least give us something, so we won't have to worry. " "I am busy I won't belong. So enough questions I am leaving."
Ophis then walks out of the room leaving the three devils speechless, but the first one to speak is Katerea, "what does she mean is busy?"
Shalba just shrugs, "I don't know, but she seemed like she was in a hurry. Creuserey you have been quiet for a while what do you think." Creuserey unlike his other two partners was sitting in silence watching everything that just happened, "well she has been leaving a lot more frequently in the past few years. And just recently she started disappearing for longer periods of time. Maybe she found another recruit who has caught her interest."
Katerea walks to him, "they must be powerful but, why won't she just tell us who it is?" Shalba's aura flares out in annoyance and cracks the floor underneath him, "we need her power so we can overthrow those pretenders." Both Katerea and Creuserey nod in agreement, with Creuserey speaking up saying, "we may need to keep a closer eye on her. Just in case she decides not to help us. "
Shalba turns to him, "you're right we need to come up with a backup plan just in case she decides to leave us." Katerea starts to massage her head, "do you think we should inform him?"
Both Shalba and Creuserey shudder at the prospect of trying to give that super devil bad news. Shalba then regains his computer saying, "I think we should hold off on that idea until we can get more information."
Creuserey then stands and gathers the other two's attention, "so for now, I will have a few of my subordinates start to keep track of her whereabouts." The other two just nod in agreement.
Scene change to Ophis
After walking out of the room with the three devils, Ophis was looking for a certain person who she knew would know how to get the information she needed. She then turns her body to the left and whispers to herself "there you are," she then teleports away in a flash of purple where she sensed the person she was looking for.
Ophis appears in a training area looking at the man in white dragon armor who was fighting a Nekomata, and a boy in ancient Chinese armor flying around on a cloud. "Divide…Divide" could be heard as the man in white dragon armor shrinks a fireball from the Nekomata.
"Come on Bikou, we need to synchronize our attacks better if we want to get past his defense." The man in dragon armor then dive bombs toward Bikou. He dodges a fist aimed for his head but failed to notice the kick coming from behind and is sent crashing down to the ground.
"Dam Vali you don't know how to pull your punches," Bikou tries to stand but hears, "divide," and feels his strength rapidly leave his body and drops to a knee, "crap I should have seen that kick coming. Kuroka it's up to you now I'm just gonna lie down and take a nap."
Kuroka looks at Bikou then rubs some sweat off her head giving him a smirk, "well now that he's gone this battle won't last very long but I will give it my best shot…Nya."
She then winks at Bikou and he just shakes his head thinking she can't take anything seriously unless it's about her sister. Kuroka then creates Touki cloak around herself shattering the ground underneath her.
She then licks her lips at Vali, "come at me, and if you beat me I will give you a little treat later...Nya." Vali was just hovering in the sky with his hands crossed, "come at me you, and you better not hold back." Both Vali and Kuroka dash toward each other creating an enormous shock wave of colliding powers.
Ten minutes later
Kuroka was lying unconscious with Vali standing above her with parts of his armor chipped and broken off. He was breathing heavily with a smirk on his face, "I definitely see why you are an SS-Class ranked stray."
Vali's eyes go wide at noticing an immense aura, he then turns around locking his eyes with Ophis who was just staring at him with her normal expression. Vali's armor disappears and he walks toward Ophis as she walks toward him, "what's going on I can guess you didn't come here just to watch our training session."
"Yes I require information on fallen angels. " "Depends…what's in it for me," "I can give you information on someone who will give you a good fight." Vali's eyebrow raises as his interest has peeked, "fine what do you want to know? "
Ophis nods, "do you know any fallen angels that would want to restart the war between the three factions? " Vali's eye narrow, "you know that doesn't narrow down any possible suspects. There are thousands of fallen that would gladly restart the war. So if you want decent information I'm gonna need you to be more specific?"
Ophis then closes her eyes, then opens them "I am looking for someone who would have enough influence to get fallen to go rogue and try to kill the sisters of two devil kings."
Vali closes his eye's rubbing his chin then opens his eyes, "it would probably be one of the leaders of Grigori and the only one that comes to mind is Kokabiel."
"Why do you think it would be him? " "As far as I know he is the only one who still wants another unlike the other leaders and last time I was in the Grigori I heard he had been disappearing a lot more lately. If that is all who is this person that you say will give me a good fight? "
A dry smirk starts to form on her face and Vali sweet drops a little, "it is the second son born of the Gremory clan Anos… Anos Gremory." "You mean the magic prodigy, I have heard good things about him and wanted to see just how good he was," a smirk slowly starts to form on his face, "but if you are mentioning him by name I guess some of the rumors I have herd must be true."
Vali then looks to the ceiling, "I will meet you soon Anos let's have a good fight, and you better not hold back on me."
Scene Change back to Anos and Mittelt
After watching the exchange between Anos and Ophis she then speaks up getting Anos's attention, "now I believe it is my turn, why are you so interested in my back story? " "Because I think there is more to your sister's death than meets the eye."
Mittelt's eyes narrow, "what do you mean do you know something?" "No, but from what I heard from your story I can tell that there are things that don't add up. For one, you said the devils trapped you in the territory of the church but I ask you how did they sneak into the church's domain without no one finding out. Second, from what you told me, they never said they were going to kill you. It sounded like they intended to stall you. "
Mittelt scratches her head closing her eyes trying to remember everything from the night, "if I think it about more you're probably right but are you trying to say that we were set up or something? "
"It's hard to say because if they really just wanted you dead, they would have just ganged up on you from the start. Yet they kept sending in low numbers to attack the both of you." Mittelt just shakes her growing more frustrated, "that doesn't matter they still ended up killing my sister and almost me."
Anos rubs his chin, "that's true but, as I said earlier they could have killed you both much sooner. So that makes me think that their original goal was to stall you but that changed after you and your sister kept killing them. So their plans must have changed from stalling to killing the both of you I'm assuming. "
Mittelt just rolls her eye's in disbelief, "you really want me to believe you got all that from my story?" Anos just stares into her eyes, "well I'm a lot more perceptive than other beings. But since this happened in the territory of the church this makes me believe that maybe those devils were just the diversion for a bigger plot."
Mittelt scratches her head thinking about Anos's explanation, even she couldn't deny that what he was saying made sense but if so that would mean more than devils were behind her sister's death.
"If what you are saying is true then that would mean more than devils were behind my sister's death?" Anos just nods, "I would say it was either some angels or fallen angels but it could be all three working together. "
Mittelt raises her voice in surprise with a wave of anger laced in, "that impossible fallen angels and angels would never work with devils! " Anos just nods, "you're probably right but how else would devils know when and where angels sent to collect souls in the territory of the church be? Unless someone leaked the information."
Mittelt's eyes widen in surprise, of course, everything that Anos was saying was pure speculation with no proof to back it up. But everything he was saying made sense in some way or another, "but that would mean that some of my former brothers and sisters betrayed heaven but that means they already fell from heaven. Since they betrayed heaven."
Anos just shakes his head narrowing his eyes, "not entirely true from what I understand," Mittelt opens her mouth wanting to speak but is halted by Anos lifting his hand, "I already know once angels have impure thoughts they fall from the grace of God. But if that's the only criteria for falling from heaven then there is a loophole in the system."
Mittelt raises her eyebrow, "what do you mean? Do you think that there is a way for angels to have impure thoughts and not fall? " "Well let's look at the first angel to fall from heaven Lucifer. Apparently, he fell from heaven because he tried to overthrow God but only fell after he failed. But according to the system, he should have fallen the moment he decided to betray his father but he only fell after the fact."
Mittelt nods knowing where Anos was going with this, "so you think that there is a way for angels to betray heaven without turning their wings black. To be honest all of this is starting to sound more outlandish the more you talk Ano... I mean devil." Anos just sits in silence watching Mittelt breaking down all the information in her head, and from her expression, she was going through hundreds of emotions. She looks up to Anos, "it's your turn to ask me something."
Twenty minutes later
As Anos and Mittelt continued to talk back in forth they started to learn more about each other with Mittelt becoming more relaxed around Anos. Although Mittelt still hated devils to her core for some reason when she talked to Anos she knew he was different from the rest of kind besides the fact that he was from another world. But if someone, were to ask her, did her impression of devils change she would still say they all deserve to die all except for Anos…maybe.
Mittelt let's make one more deal if you join my peerage I will give you the power to find the ones responsible for your sister's death and exchange all I ask is that you trust me. But if you think I would take advantage of you then you can rest assured I won't."
"I don't know this feels like I would be betraying my sister by becoming the very thing that killed her. " "If so then how about this if you ever so desire you can leave my peerage at any time with no repercussion." "But this still doesn't make any sense why are you so intent on helping me?"
"Is it so weird to help someone in need? To be honest I had other intentions of reviving you but I could tell that your hatred for devils seemed higher than normal so I wanted to see why you hated devils so much. Which made me change how I was going to persuade you. So again I ask you would you like to join my peerage."
Mittelt says nothing her head was downcast with her hair covering her eyes, underneath the table her hands were trembling with her right leg shaking. Her mouth opens slowly but she pauses noticing a bright purple light out the corner of her right eye. Anos turns his head noticing the purple light as well, "Hello…Ophis, did you get the information I was looking for? "
Ophis just walks toward Anos nodding, "yes I have gathered the information you desire now you must uphold your end of our contract. " "Yes I gave you my word and signed the Zecht."
Ophis then climbs back on her chair then looks at Anos then at Mittelt tilting her head, "is the fallen all right she looks troubled? Did something happen while I was gone? " Anos just smirks, "no I just asked her a question and she seems to be thinking about it so I'm just waiting for her answer. "
"Understood…as I previously said I have completed my end of the deal. I talked to someone from my organization, and he told me in the Grigori there is only one fallen angel that wants to restart the war and that would be Kokabiel. From what I know he is one of the few fallen that survived the battle with God and the four Devils Kings."
Anos nods, "yes I have heard of him. From what I know he is an expert strategist and is one of the few who was bitten about the war ended. Hey, Mittelt hold off on my question do you think Kokabiel could be your mystery leader."
Mittelt who was still staring out the ground looks after hearing her name being called, "uhh yes… sorry I wasn't listening what was your question? " "No worries…do you think Kokabiel could be your mystery leader."
"It's possible he is one of the Cadre and he is still bitter about how the war ended so it's possible but I never interacted with him directly." Anos nods, "thanks," "uh sure no problem, and uhh before I answer your question if I were to become a devil do you think that my sister would hate for becoming the very thing that killed her? "
Anos gives Mittelt a warm smile and she visibly relaxes after seeing his smile, "I wish I could answer that for you but I didn't know your sister as you did. The only one who can answer that question is you. But from what you told me I think she would want you to find happiness and not stay vengeful forever."
Mittelt sighs to her self standing up and pointing to Anos with determination in her eyes, "I have decided to take you up on your offer but this doesn't mean I trust or like you or anything. I will follow you as long as you keep your end of the deal."
Anos stands causing Mittelt to take a step back, he then reaches into his pocket pulling out a mutated pawn piece, "here take this and press it towards your chest, also my pieces have side effects unlike other pieces but it's nothing life-threatening."
Mittelt looks at the piece then back to Anos she reaches for the piece pausing a few inches before grabbing it, "wait this is a mutated piece they are supposed to be rare is it alright for you to use this on me."
"It's fine I have plenty." Mittelt gulps with sweetness coming down the right side of her face she then grabs the pawn piece, " so what do I do now? " "Simple grasp it with both hands then push it toward your chest and the piece will be absorbed into your body. After that, I will tell you more later but you will soon notice the changes."
Mittelt nods and does as instructed by Anos, the piece glows red and slowly dissipates, "okay…I don't feel any different…so do I call you master now." Anos just shakes his head, "no need Anos is just fine but if that is too hard you can just call me devil like you have been for while."
Mittelt turns away from Anos looking at him out the corner of her eye while blushing from embarrassment, "I believe you are less evil than other devils so you deserve to have me call you by name but if you do anything you are going back to being called a devil."
Mittelt takes her seat staring at her feet wondering if she made the right choice, "can I just have a moment to myself? I need some time to process being a devil now." Anos nods, "sure and once you're done there is something else we need to discuss."
Anos then turn to Ophis who had been watching the last few minutes in silence, she then looks up to him noticing his gaze, "now it's my turn to uphold my end of the bargain."
Ophis nods, "yes it is but the way you worded it earlier…you made it seem like you had another way to help me other than killing him. What are you planning." Anos looks at Ophis giving her a tiny smirk, "I have a couple of ideas but I need time to enact them."
Ophis just stares at him, "I understand because of the zecht I can tell that you can not betray me so I will just have to see what you have in mind. " Anos title his head raising one eyebrow, "so you intend to watch me more closely… I don't mind just don't stand out too much."
Ophis then stands in her chair now standing face to face with Anos, "you miss understand I will be watching you more closely to see what you have installed."
Anos chuckles softly to himself, "really but I think you would scare people if they saw you always around me. " "If that concerns you I shall conceal my presence and change my form. As to not alert anyone."
"Yea you could do that but you still give off the scent of a dragon and your natural presence will alarm others to your identity. But I can cast an illusion spell to hide your true identity. " Ophis just stares at him, "I didn't know that there was an illusion spell strong enough to do that?" Anos smirks, "there isn't but I can create one."
After saying Anos lifts his hand creating a magic circle, "as long as you completely suppress your power the illusion spell I am about to create will make it look like you are a devil and I will make it to where you can activate it at any time. "
Ophis just looks at his hand, "why go this far? I could just completely conceal myself from all beings except you. So there would be no need for the spell." "Your right but this could be more exciting for you."
"I can not feel excitement…" Anos smirks, "you say that but you are staring at my spell with a smile filled with more emotion than I have ever seen from you." Ophis's eyes widen a little touching her face feeling lips softly, "no this is not excitement this is just my normal smile. But will this spell work?"
Anos nods activating the spell, " yes but the spell will only be able to be activated if you completely suppress your power. So don't worry about concealing anything else the spell will do the rest. Now the form you have is fine but could change your appearance to look a bit older?"
Ophis nods and in a flash of purple her appearance changes to an older version of the one she previously held now standing at 5'5.
Authors note: The appearance I chose for Ophis will look like Kuro from restaurant to another world. They both have a nonexpression demeanor. So I figured she could look like the older version of the form that Ophis has, except Kuro's eyes are green so I will change them to match Ophis. When Ophis is in Kuro's form her outfit will look like hers. If enough people don't like the change I will consider changing it.
"How is this," Anos nods looking her up and down, "I like it but you may want to change your clothes if you intend to follow me around more closely." Ophis looks at her attire then back to Anos, "this is all I have ever worm what do you suggest?"
Anos pauses for a few seconds to think, "well if you were to dress like a maid and if anyone were to question who you are I would just say you are my personal maid which shouldn't raise any alarm. But if anyone asks for more details just say I wish not to speak of it but if you really want to know just ask my master, Lord Anos."
Ophis tilts her head, "I am a dragon god I serve no one. I can not accept being a servant to anyone." "Don't worry you won't be doing any of that. This is just to conceal your true identity but if this is too much for a dragon god then we can just forget it."
Ophis's eyes narrow, "what do you mean too much for a dragon god? I have the power to destroy this world…acting as a simple maid is nothing to me. Do not test me Anos Gremory."
Suddenly the clothes that Ophis had on disappeared and were replaced with a back maid uniform. "Are these clothes more suitable or shall I change them again? " "No those are fine…now we should come up with a fake name."
"I will leave that up to you…I do not care." "Fine how about Rin how does that sound." Ophis just shrugs, "I do not know." "Well, time to cast the spell." The magic circle in front of Anos then appears on Ophis's left chest.
The circle spins for a few seconds then a red aura glows from her body and disappears a few seconds later. "There it's complete now the fake aura you are releasing feels like a devil. " Ophis looks at her hands opening and closing them, "how does the spell work, and can I use devil magic now."
Anos shakes his head, "the spell is converting the surrounding magic around you into an aura similar to that of a devil. The only downside is that you can't use your power of infinity while the illusion is active or it will be destroyed. To answer your other question no you can't since the spell is just creating a devil's aura nothing more. The downside is some supernaturals that can see through illusions or specialize in them could see through this one. So just be mindful."
Ophis nods and Anos turns his attention toward Mittelt who was still wrapped up in her thoughts muttering some stuff to herself, "Hey Mittelt how are you holding up? There are a few things I need to discuss with you." Mittelt lifts her head wiping away a few tears, "yes what can I do for you master…I mean Anos."
Anos walks around the table next to Mittelt, "hey I'm gonna need to seal your angelic power away and cast an illusion around you as well. To help conceal your identity as a fallen angel is that alright." "I…uh…understand but all I know how to use is holy magic how will I be able to fight?"
"The evil piece I gave you is converting your magic into demonic power. This will increase both your devil and demonic magic over time but for now, you will feel exhausted for a while since your magic will be constantly drained over time."
"I have been feeling a lot more tired even since I absorbed the piece. You also make it seem like demon and devil magic are different aren't they basically the same thing? " Anos nods, "they are similar but different in a few ways kind like of two sides of the same coin."
"I understand but who is the woman over there is she one of your servants?" "Do not misunderstand fallen I am no one's servant this is just an illusion," Ophis then reverts to her original form and Mittelt eyes almost pop out her head, "how did you do that I thought you were a devil and why were you dressed as a maid? "
Ophis then reverts back to her maid form suppressing her power and activating the illusion, "I am just doing this so I can watch Anos more closely. The way his magic works intrigues me."
Anos then jumps into the conversation getting both of their attention, "Mittelt like I said earlier I am going to seal your angelic powers but the seal I am creating can be turned off at any moment by yourself." A necklace then forms in Anos and he then hands it to Mittelt, "that necklace will seal away your holy magic, and if you want to unseal it just say magic seal release, and if you want to seal it back up just say magic seal."
Mittelt takes the necklace and puts it around her neck staring at the red magic stone, "thanks." "Okay…Mittelt let's head to the underworld. Ophis are you coming now or later?" Ophis reverts back to her original form, "I will return to my organization. But I will be back later."
Anos and Mittelt Teleport back to the underworld while Ophis teleports back to the headquarters of the Khaos Brigade before departing she said she had something to do. Both
Transition to the Gremory Domain
Anos and Mittelt appear in Anos's bedroom in the Gremory Mansion.
Mittelt looks around the room as if searching for something, "you have a nice room doesn't look as evil as I thought." Anos looks at her while patting her shoulder and pointing to his bed, "you can sleep there and in the morning I will get a room arranged for you."
Mittelt nods and starts to undress but stops, "wait...uhh...where are you going to sleep, was this your plan all along get me into your peerage then seduce me in bed?" Mittelt then backs away covering her chest with her arms.
"Uhh…no I just planned on sleeping on that chair. Maids tend to come into the rooms to check up on me. It's something my father implemented long ago. So I will sit there and wave them off as they come in." "Well can you at least leave the room until I change out of these clothes?
I like to sleep in my underwear." Anos nods, "fine I understand I'll be right outside the door just call me when you are done."
Anos turns to walk towards the door glancing at his dresser noticing a letter on top, he stops to pick up the letter and flips it over to see that it is from his brother. Anos then walks outside the door with a letter, while speaking out loud to himself, "I wonder why Sirzechs sent me a letter instead of just using a communication circle?"
Anos tries to open the letter noticing there is a seal keeping is closed, and will only open when a certain amount of magic is forced into it. Anos then puts one finger on the seal channeling magic into it and after a few seconds the seal breaks.
He opens the letter but before he could read it he hears Mittelt from the other side of the door say, "Hey Anos I'm done you can come back in now."
Anos turns back to the door and walks back inside, he looks to the right noticing Mattel's clothes folded neatly in a corner of the room next to the bed. He then looks at Mittelt who was currently sitting upright on the bed covering herself, as a blush starts to form on her face, "what are you staring at pervert? If think you will get a sneak peek then think again."
Anos eyes narrow, "sorry to burst your bubble but I am not a pervert. I wasn't staring at you I was lost in thought for a second. Well, anyway goodnight. Tomorrow I will introduce you to my parents and get a room squared away for you."
Mittelt nods and lays down on the bed, Anos then walks to his chair taking out the letter in his pocket to read.
A Few Minutes later
Anos lets out an annoyed sigh after reading the letter, "if I had my way I would eradicate the devil council myself. But I can't say that I am surprised that the devil council is trying to push this marriage forward. In the morning I'm gonna have to talk to Sirzechs to see if we need to push this plan of his forward. " Anos then creates a communication circle and it rings for a few seconds then picks up, "Yes Anos it's pretty late. This must be important if you are calling this late at night."
"Yes, brother…I will keep this short. I just read your letter and I think we should be prepared to enact our plan soon or be ready to adjust it. By the way, it sounds from your letter the Devil Council may push the arranged marriage forward." A sigh could be heard through the communicator, "Yea I thought we would have had more time but by the way it looks, we may need to improvise part of it. "
"I agree but we can continue this conversation tomorrow when you have the time. But goodnight and give Grayfia my regards." "Will do Anos, I will find a way to clear my schedule, so see you soon. "
The red communication circle next to Anos's ear disappears as he messages his eyebrows. Anos was about to close his eyes to go to sleep but opens them back up when Mittelt calls his name, "Hey Anos I don't mean to eavesdrop but are you okay? You seemed a little distressed after reading that letter and by the tone of your voice, you seemed upset. But if you don't want to talk about it I won't pry any further? "
Anos just waves her off, "it's fine…I thank you for your concern. You know I never intended to get too involved in this world but it seems like am I am getting more involved as the days go on. Because with my power I could easily upset the balance of power in this world."
Mittelt sits up in the bed, "I know we didn't talk a lot about your past but don't you think you did enough for your people. I mean you protected them for two thousand years, and then gave your life just to end a war that you didn't even start. Don't you think you deserve a break? "
"You sound like everyone else that knows my story, and I will tell you what I have told them. I can't do that I promised my people I would return need and they need me to lead them and I don't intend to break that promise. "
"I understand that Anos but you don't have to be the one to rule them, there have to be other capable demons who can lead your people and how do you know that once you return the war won't just start up again? "
"That's true I don't know but what if my people are suffering and are waiting for my return to liberate them." "That's just a hypothetical you can't be sure." "The same can be said about your hypothetical."
Mittelt opened her mouth to respond but Anos spoke up first, "And that's why I can't give up on trying to get back to them I know a lot of things and the fact that I don't know how I get here aggravates me more than you know. So I can't give up on them no matter how long it takes?"
"But could you really leave their first family you ever had behind? " "You should probably get some rest I have a feeling tomorrow will be a long day." Mittelt takes the hint and goes to sleep leaving Anos to his thoughts.
Time Skip to the Next Day
A knock could be heard coming from Anos door early in the morning, Anos opens his eyes after hearing the knock her first looks to Mittelt it appeared as though she was still sleeping. Anos gets up and pauses for a few seconds already knowing who was at the door and smirks, "it's been a while since I pranked her I wonder how I should do it now."
Anos walks to the door opening it greeting his sister-in-law with a warm smile, "hello Grayfia how are you doing this morning? Come in." Grayfia doesn't move as her eyes look all over the door checking for any signs of a disturbance, she then leans forward checking the walls and the ceiling she then leans back narrowing her eyes slightly, "what did you do? This room is too normal even for you, what are you planning?"
Anos gives Grayfia a teasing smirk and shrugs, "well if you haven't noticed it yet then you won't until the last minute. " Grayfia just stands there looking at Anos trying to figure out what he was planning but like usual Anos has an excellent poker face. She was bout to bow but Anos stop her while turning around and gesturing for her to follow.
"I assume this is about the phone call I had with my brother." Grayfia nods, "yes the great Devil King Lucifer has summoned you..." but Grayfia stops when she hears a grown come from Anos bed.
Mittelt pops up from the bed rubbing her eyes trying to cover them from the light of the sun. Mittelt was still tired since so she didn't notice that there were two other people in the room and she was still in her underwear.
Out of respect for her, Anos turns around, "Grayfia meets Mittelt she is my pawn. " Grayfia looks Anos up and down, "And why is she in her underwear? I would hate to think that the second-born son of the Gremory Family would take advantage of a girl while she was sleeping. "
"Sorry but my honor is more important to me than taking advantage of a sleeping girl."
Mittelt lets out a yawn then blinks her eye rapidly with her head-turning red from embarrassment, she jumps back under the covers calling both Anos and Grayfia perverts for looking at her. Grayfia turns her attention back to Anos, "Lord Anos as I was saying the great Devil King Lucifer has summoned you and will meet you in the meeting hall when he is ready for you. So when he is ready I will come and collect you. If you do not need anything else I will take my leave and return when he is ready for you."
Anos nods, "yes, and thank you as always Grayfia. " She bows and walks toward the open door but stops before walking out she lifts her hand to poke into the hallway but her hand stops before it could go into the hallway. She then looks back to Anos who was smirking, "you are underestimating me if you thought this illusion would work."
She releases a bit of her aura destroying the illusion with the real exit being revealed she then walks out but hits her head on something hard. She backs up rubbing her looking at the hallway then puts her hand up noticing that this too was an illusion.
She turns back to Anos narrowing her eyes, "that was funny Lord Anos but I have to get back to Lord Lucifer." Anos just sits down in a chair looking at Grayfia, "you aren't a prisoner here you can leave anytime you want. "
Grayfia narrows her eyes looking back to the fake hallway and it disappears revealing another hallway, she stares at the hallway in question. She lifts up her fist thinking that if this is real she will hit nothing but air but if it is an illusion she will just bust through it.
Grayfia launches her punch but the punch goes through the door and Grayfia mentally sighs but a maid who was coming to check on Anos had walked into the line of fire of Grayfia's punch, it was too late to redirect the punch or pull it back but before it was going to connect with the maids face.
The punch is caught by Anos creating a small shock wave on wind, "apologies Grayfia it appears I took my prank too far, and apologies to you as well miss."
Grayfia gives Anos an annoyed look and just walks out of the room into the hallway, and the maid just thanks Anos but is stopped from entering the room by Anos, "you don't have to worry about my room for now but I have a new peerage member and she is in need of a room and clothes could you assign someone to get one prepared for her? "
The maid bows, "yes Lord Anos I will find someone to get that squared away." Anos then walks back into the room closing the door behind him, "Mittelt get dressed and once you are done we will go get breakfast. Then I will help you utilize your new demonic power properly. So whenever you get dressed come out and I will walk you to the dining hall while giving you a tour along the way." Mittelt says okay from under the covers, and Anos walks out to let her get changed.
A Few Minutes Later
Mittelt Walks Out the door and in a sarcastic tone says, "I'm ready for my tour throughout hell." "Good let's go, " Anos ended up taking Mittelt the long way to the dining hall, "and this is our final stop the dining hall." Anos opens the door for Mittelt allowing her to walk in first to get a better look.
Mittelt walks around the room rubbing her finger along the table looking at Anos with a grin, "wow everything in here looks expensive, did your family steal it?"
"No my family is rich so we don't need to steal anything. Come and stop trying to find something wrong so we can eat. " Mittelt just scoffs and takes a seat, "fine I just hope this devil food doesn't corrupt my soul." Anos takes the seat next and flicks her on her head, "down girl."
Mittelt grabs her head glaring at Anos, "hey what was that for?" "I get you don't want to be here but you could hold back a little." Mittelt sighs in defeat, "fine but you didn't have to flick me so hard. Look at my head you might have left a mark. "
Anos smirks, "you will be fine. " Anos then waves to the maids to bring over the food. The doors to the dining hall open and both Anos and Mittelt turn to see the two heads of the Gremory Family walk in.
Anos stands to greet his father and mother, "good morning father…mother how are you? " Venelana is the first of the two to speak greeting her son with a warm smile with her eyes glancing to the left then back to her son, "good morning my son but who is that at our dinner table?"
Zeoticus leans to the right now noticing the girl as well then looks to Anos awaiting his answer, "this is my pawn Mittelt. " Mittelt stands up bows to the two high-class devils in front of her, "it is a pleasure to meet you Lord and Lady Gremory."
Venelana walks in front of Mittelt scanning her up and down, "so you are my son's first peerage member…hmm…Hey, Anos could you cast a silencing barrier around us there is something I want to talk to her about. "
Anos just lifts his hand casting a barrier around his mother and Mittelt, he then looks to his father, "do you know what mother is doing in there." Zeoticus crosses his arms and smirks, "I have a few ideas but none that I want to tell you."
"You don't have to tell me…I can guess what she is discussing with my new pawn." Venelana can be seen inside the barrier staring down Mittelt with her cowering in fear, Venelana takes a step forward and Mittelt starts to cower in fear more with a blush forming on her cheeks and growing larger as Venelana continued talking.
A Few Minutes Later
Venelana raises her hand to get Anos attention to drop the barrier, currently, Mittelt was staring at the ground with her face a bright red with steam rising from her head. Anos looks toward his mother smiling, "I hope you didn't go too hard on her."
Venelana just gives Anos a mischievous grin and turns to the table to take a seat, she is followed by Zeoticus and Anos pulls Mittelt's to the table since she was still lost in thought only reacting to Anos grabbing her hand pulling her to the table.
Venelana turns to Anos in her seat with an evil glint in her eyes, "so are you going to create a harem now? I would like a lot of grandchildren and I don't mind if they aren't pure-blooded devils."
Anos was just eating his food as if he didn't hear anything his mother had said, but unlike Anos, Mittelt did a spit take almost choking on her food. "Sorry mother but I don't have any plans on getting married or having any children. Plus you already have a grandchild."
"Anos dear you forgot to say…you don't plan on having any yet and I know that and I love him dearly but I would like grandchildren from all my kids." Anos stops eating and just stares at his mother, "that's because I don't plan on having any."
Venelana's eye narrows and was about to say something but Zeoticus cuts into the conversation, "so Anos why did you decide now to create a peerage. "
"I was on earth watching Rias and I saw Mittelt die so I offered her a chance to avenge her sister and she accepted."
Zeoticus eyes narrow, "you don't say…I have a few more questions but since you are keeping your story vague I won't press you any further I assume you have your reasons for your secrecy. "
Venelana just nods agreeing with her husband but she speaks up voicing something that has been on her mind, "so Mittelt…what will you two be doing after breakfast? "
Mittelt was currently stuffing her face and was unprepared to have her name called, she stops eating and takes a glass of water to wash down the food. "Lord Anos said he was going to help me get stronger after breakfast. " Zeoticus and Venelana both look at each other then back to Mittelt, "let me ask you something did Anos say how he intended to help you? "
"He just said help so I just assumed he meant training or something." Zeoticus and Venelana turn from Mittelt trying to cover their faces trying not to show smiles forming on their face. Zeoticus turns back around first, "Mittelt you should clarify if Anos is teaching, training, or sparing with you…"
Zeoticus stops midway trying to hold back his laugh…, "because there is a big difference between the three when it concerns my son."
Venelana chimes in on the conversation still chuckling, "yes there is a difference. When Anos says teaching it's more hands to help develop your skills. If he says training you are going to use the skills you developed to attack him while he observes and casually attacks you back. But the last one is the one you want him to say before you ask for his help and that would be sparing." Mittelt just nods staring at Venelana already having a feeling what it might be.
Then Venelana winks causing Mittelt to sweet drop, "Currently there are only two people who I know who ask Anos to spar with him and that would be my daughter's rook and Sairaorg and there is a good reason why but I don't want to spoil anything exciting but you should be ready for a fight. "
Mittelt then looks to Anos, "of those three types which one are we doing? " Anos turns to Mittelt patting her head, "don't worry I am just teaching you." Mittelt just nods still a little scared about what's about going to happen later.
Scene Change to Grigori
Currently, Vali had just arrived from the hideout of the Khaos Brigade and was currently walking toward a gate that had two fallen in front of it, he was about to walk past the gate as usual but is stopped by one of the fallen.
Vali looks to the falling raising his eyebrow as to why he was being stopped, "apologies Vali I didn't mean to startle you but Azazel has requested that when you arrived that you go to him as soon as possible he has something that he wants to talk to you about something."
Vali nods as the fallen removes the spear he had stopping in front of his path, he then continues his casual troll through the gates not really in a rush to get there since if it was important he could have called him personally.
After a few minutes of walking through the halls of Grigori and up a flight of stairs leading to Azazel's office, and doesn't bother knocking on the door and just walks in to see Azazel nervously try and hide something under his desk but stops as he sees Vali walk in expecting someone else to walk in and lets out a sigh of relief and puts his feet back on the desk as starts to drink more of his whiskey bottle.
"Dam Vali you should have knocked first you almost gave me a heart attack but good thing you are here could you do me a favor?" Vali rolls his eyes and just looks at Azazel impassively, "well I'll take that as a yes..." but Vali's eyes narrow and Azael nervously chuckles, "or a maybe then?"
Causing Vali to just sigh, "what do you need this time," Azazel takes another gulp of his whiskey and continues, "Kokabiel has betrayed us and some of my brethren have started to disappear as well but I do not know if they went with him or somewhere else."
Vali nods already knowing where they are but doesn't make that known, "I see so do you want me to find these missing fallen or Kokabiel?" Azazel stares into the ceiling to contemplate which task to give Vali, "well it would be helpful if you find Kokabel he is one of the leaders of Grigori, and if he leaves then that would mean work for me."
Azazel says this casually as if doing more work was a bag thing but this catches Vali's attention slightly, "why is Azazel sending me to find one Fallen. I know Kokabiel is one of the leaders of Grigori but wouldn't it make more sense to find those missing fallen? God knows they need the numbers."
Azazel had finished his whiskey bottle and had grabbed another one from behind his desk and was patiently waiting for Vali's and noticed that we had winced slightly, "fine I'll look for them but do you have any ideas of where I should start looking."
Azazel then pulls out a folder from his desk and tosses it toward Vali and he catches it with one hand then opens it, "so you want me to go to Italy because you think some of them might be trying to steal a holy sword but what proof do you have of this?"
Azazel shrugs giving Vali an arrogant smile, "that son of a bitch Kokabiel has always talked about the abilities of those dam swords and that makes me think if he might send some fallen who followed him to get one but I just don't know which one he might try to steal first."
Vali nods and stands and was about to walk out but stops, "does the church or the angels know I am coming," "I doubt it. They don't even know of your existence."
Vali then continues walking out the door not saying another word and a few minutes later he puts down the bottle of whiskey and walks to a bookshelf on his wall pulling a book as a click could be heard and the bookshelf slides to the wall revealing a hidden and room inside. He then turns to two individuals as his smirk disappears, "so what do you guys think?"
Both men look at each other and have a silent conversation on what they saw then a man that looked middle-aged with black hair with a beard to match the color of his eyes, "hard to say but it was obvious that he wasn't surprised that Kokabel left it could be nothing because most of us weren't when we found out that he left."
Azazel nods and turns from his close friend Baraqiel and to Shemhazai who seemed to be in deep thought, "to me I noticed that he didn't seem concerned about the missing more so Kokabiel. Do you think they are the same place he disappears to?"
"I hope not he is one of our strongest members and he is like a son to me so I hope all of this spying and scheming is just for nothing." Baraqiel then walks closer to his friend placing his hand on his shoulder, "we need to do this it's better to be safe than sorry."
Azazel nods reluctantly since most of his hunches were spot on and it was times like these that he hoped that they weren't, "thank you, Baraqiel that means a lot." Shemhazai then walks toward the duo with a sorrowful look on his face, "Azazel I'm sorry but we need to think of the aftermath if he decides to betray us like Kokabiel."
Azazel's eyes narrow and his mood darkens, "I won't let that happen I raised him like my own son I won't hurt him." Shemhazai sighs expecting this reaction I mean he didn't want to think about this possibility as well he practically raised the boy too but this needs to be put on the table as a possibility.
"Azazel I know believe me I don't want to think that he will betray us either but you have seen his actions lately? He disappears for long periods of time and when we confront him about it he just shoots us off and it's obvious that he has become more secretive."
Azazel hated to admit it but Shemhazai was right Vali was vanishing for long periods of time, and he seemed distant, "I get it but we will wait until he actually betrays us to make a move. I don't want to screw this up he is the white dragon emperor after all."
"Speaking of the two dragons has Raynare informed you about who you suspect could be the red dragon emperor," Azazel sighs and shakes his head, "no I received a report from Sirzechs that she tried to kill him but thanks to his little sister he is alive and it is confirmed that he is this generation, red dragon emperor. He also told me that Raynare, Mittelt, Dohnaseek, and Kalawarna are dead, unfortunately, but I can't blame the devils they apparently went rogue and I suspect that they might have been working with Kokabiel. Too bad, we can't confirm that."
Azael sighs he always liked that group, especially Mittelt since he found her after she fell from heaven but she was a special case because she had an uncontrollable desire to murder all devils but he was able to get her to turn over a new leaf.
Although he couldn't perfectly quell her desire to kill all devils after the tragic death of her sister. A knock then comes to the door alerting the trio as they walk out of the hidden room, the bookcase goes back to its original position hiding the hidden room, "come in?"
Then a woman with long purple hair walks in with a letter, and then Azazel's lazy-dazy attitude comes back as puts his foot on the desk and then leans back in his chair causing a tick to form on the fallen face as the other two gentlemen let out an annoyed sigh, "ah...Penemue how is my favorite secretary?"
Her eyes narrow, "I am not your personal secretary I have said that since we moved to the underworld," she then throws the letter at Azazel's face, "so stop forwarding me your you dam mail."
Azazel chuckles as the letter falls from his face and onto his lap, "if I didn't then I would never know I had mail." Penemue's eye twitches because she knew where this conversation was going because it was the same one that kept happening since she accepted the job of Chief Secretary, "well if you turn on your dam communication on circle people wouldn't send you fucking mail."
"I don't have time to answer my communication circle if people need me and it's important they will send me a mail and if I deem it worthy I will send them a letter back but if it's super important I will call them."
Penemue just pinches her nose feeling a massive headache coming on, "busy you say," Azazel nods puffing out his chest and nodding, Penemue then walks to the right and kicks down the wall revealing another hidden room with porn DVDs stacked to the ceiling with a minibar stocked with liquor.
There was also a flat-screen tv with a recliner chair with a bottle of lotion next to it on the ground and on the opposite side was a box of tissues, "yea I can see you have been very busy."
Baraqiel and Shemhazai look between Azazel and the new hidden room, for their part they knew Azael had many hidden rooms in his office but there was always a trick to finding and getting into them which is why when Azazel disappears through the day it is believed that he is on of his secret rooms.
Currently, Shemhazai knew of three rooms, Baraqiel knew of two, but Penemue somehow always found the hidden entrances without even trying, and just like now she just took an educated guess and she hit dead center again.
Penemue then looks back to Azazel, "read the dam letter and stop forwarding your mail to me or I will tell Odin of this secret room." Azazel sweet drops and nods furiously, for his part he wasn't upset that his secret stash was found but if she told Odin the old man would come here and start hiding from his Pantheon to watch porn which would cause problems for him.
Penemue nods, bows, and walks out of the office with a delighted look on her face which was a stark contrast to the death stares she was sending Azazel moments ago, he then turns his attention to the letter as his two friends were poking around his secret hideout.
Then after a few seconds, his moods darken at the information on the letter his friends notice this and turn to him curiously, "Azazel what's on the letter?" Azazel really hated when he was right sometimes he then slides the letter towards them on the desk and Shemhazai picks up the letter to read it, "apparently Kokabeil has started to make his move and judging from that letter he has recruited some rogue exorcist and was currently planning on executing his plan to steal the swords but for what reason, we still don't know."
Both fallen nodded in agreement with their leader because that was something they needed to find out and stop him before he did something idiotic.
