Today, the usually cheerful Kouh Academy was eerily quiet, despite it being a school day. The entire school ground was now surrounded by a barrier. This barrier was maintained by the student cil, who remained on stant alert for invaders.
Sona, who was supervising the barrier, turo the side and spoke."Rias, are you certain you handle Kokabiel? Remember, he’s a cadre for a reason. It’s not too te to ask your brother for help.""I could say the same for you, Sona. Why don’t you ask your sister for help?" Rias rebuked."You know my sister handles fn affairs. Right now, she’s heading tory to mahe aftermath," Sona replied.
Before Rias could say anything further, they heard Akeno’s voice as she came out of the building."I’ve already informed Lord Sirzechs about this matter. He should be here in about an hour or so.""Akeno, why the hell did you do that? We could’ve hahis ourselves!" Rias said, clearly frustrated by Akeno’s as."Rias, normally I wouldn’t say anything, but this is a time when we need all the help we get. After all, this is a cadre we’re talking about. We’re too weak to defeat someo that level. So, even if you don’t like b your brother, we have to do this—it’s an emergency," Akeno replied with a serious gaze.
Rias sighed."Fine. What you did is right, anyway, so I won’t argue. Did the others e back?""Yes, Issei, Asia, and Koneko are ihe building trying to e up with some battle pns. But Kiba hasn’t returned yet. He seems to be busy, as he didn’t even answer my calls. Do you think he’s in trouble?" Akeno asked worriedly.
Rias took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a few moments as she tried to sense Kiba’s situation. After a while, she opened her eyes and said,"No, he’s not in any danger. I already sense him ing this way, so his safety is guaranteed for now. Let’s head inside and discuss our strategy to buy some time."
As they were about to head ihey heard Sona’s warning."Rias, it appears you’re too te. The barrier has been brokehe school gym. I suspect that Kokabiel is already there, waiting for us to attack. You guys buy time as much as possible while we hahe barrier so the human world doesn’t get affected by this fight."
Rias and Akeno o each other before running toward the school gym. Along the way, they caught up with the others and finally arrived at the gym. Upon arrival, they saw a man who had the appearance of a short, bespectacled elderly figure with gray hair, a mustache, and bck eyes, wearing a priest outfit, perf a ritual. They k wasn’t anything good, as they could see numerous magic circles rotating around what looked like a sword in the making, whistinctively made them take a step back when they looked at it.
"Beautiful, isn’t it?"
They heard the familiar gruff void looked around to find its source. They saw a throne made of some otherworldly material floating in the air. Kokabiel sat cross-legged ohrone, wearing a bored expression."What the hell are you doing, Kokabiel?" shouted Rias, her aura leaking.Kokabiel, unfazed by her aura or presence, responded in a bored tone,"He is Valper Galilei, a former priest who was in charge of the Holy Sword Project before being banished. He’s now merging all four Excalibur fragments that we collected to create a stronger one. Isn’t it beautiful? Ohis sword is finished, all we need is a rge number of sacrifices to stabilize its form, and this city just so happens to have the necessary sacrifices we need. Hahahahaha!" Kokabiel ughed maniacally.
Rias and the others ched their fists, horrified at the thought. Before they could dwell on their dark thoughts, they were interrupted by a voice."Do you think I’ll let you do that, you bastard? Do you think human life is something you just toss aside like trash? I will never let you hurt anyone, even if it’s the st thing I do!" shouted Issei, as his Sacred Gear maed and began to glow."Hahaha! Why don’t you try, Red Dragon Emperor? Show me your pointless struggles aertain me a bit," Kokabiel taunted, his grin widening into a ferocious smile that nearly split his face.
With a casual swipe of his hand, a two-meter-long nce made of mana appeared. He threw it toward the devils with ease. The ground cracked uhe impact, and Issei and the others were nearly blown away by the wind pressure.
After they stabilized themselves, Rias and Akeno unleashed their magic at Kokabiel with full force. He merely raised his hand, catg their magic as if it were a ball. By p his own mana into it, he ehe magical spear and hurled it back at them.
A huge explosion ensued, and several buildings were heavily damaged. Most of Rias’s peerage members were blown away and y on the ground, slowly getting up."Tsk," Kokabiel clicked his tongue, his expressiourning to one of boredom. "This is b. Let’s deal with my pets instead."
He cast a summoning spell on the ground, and a pilr of fire erupted. From the summoning circle, a three-headed mythical creature emerged."Cerberus, the guardian of the gates of the Underworld!" excimed Rias, feeling the pressure rise as another Cerberus emerged from the circle.
"What is Lord Sirzechs doing to be this te?" murmured Akeno, unaware of the drama unfolding in the Underworld.
