Although Issei's inner voice proved that he was planning to do something stupid to his women.
Eiji did not panic.
He could still smile while watching girls like Lala and Asia being helped to choose clothes by Mai in the women's clothing area of the mall.
"Eiji-kun, aren't you planning on going somewhere?"
"Going? Go where? Yui, want me to go?"
"No! I-I'm just...."
The black-haired girl wanted to say something but her voice disappeared at the end of the sentence.
No need to ask, she definitely wanted to say something about the inner voice, but she was censored by Miss System.
The girl blushed, feeling embarrassed to look silly.
Eiji chuckled. "Come on Yui, don't you want to buy new school supplies? I'll take you to the school supply store."
"Hmph! I can buy it myself!"
Even though Yui said that, she did not resist when her hand was pulled by him towards the school supply store that was actually also in the mall.
"Tsundere."
"I'm not, who are you calling a tsundere, Eiji-kun!"
"What? Did I say something? I'm sure I said you were very pretty today."
"Bah bah! Stop your sweet talk, I won't be fooled."
Although the girl said that, she smiled to hear him compliment her as beautiful.
"...Tsundere."
"...." Yui pinched his hand hard which he ignored because it was not enough to hurt him.
"Here you go, which one do you want? Buy whichever one you want."
Seeing many school supplies such as pencils, pens, erasers, books, rulers, etc. neatly arranged on several store shelves.
Yui snorted while selecting the items she wanted and said, "You're saying as if you're going to pay for my shopping, Eiji-kun."
"Huh? Isn't it obvious? As my girlfriend, it's normal for me to pay for your shopping at a time like this."
The black-haired girl looked the other way while hiding the blush and smile on her face. "G-Girlfriend? Who are you calling your girlfriend..."
Eiji looked at the tsundere girl flatly. He grinned and said, "Oh? Did you forget what we did together in the school shed back then?"
"Eiji-kun! What are you saying in a place like this! Don't say anything perverted-Kyaa!"
He hugged the girl's waist and lifted her chin for her to see his face.
The girl's face was very red, her eyes kept looking around in confusion.
"E-Eiji-kun, what are you doing? We're at the mall..."
"Hm... What? I didn't hear you, Yui. Who's the person you're asking?"
Seeing the white-haired boy's handsome face grinning and gradually getting closer to her face as if he wanted to kiss her.
Yui panicked! She didn't mind being kissed by Eiji, but not in a public place like a mall!
There were many people around them and... and it was embarrassing!
"Eiji-kun!"
"Who?"
"You..."
"...."
Seeing that the boy seemed to have no intention of letting go unless she called him as she wished.
Leaning on Eiji's chest, Yui lowered her head in shame and said.
"B-Boyfriend..."
"Heh... Who? Yui, I didn't hear you. Please say it louder." Eiji started to have a rather sadistic smile. It felt good to bully this tsundere girl.
"Boyfriend... My boyfriend! You're my boyfriend! Hmph, are you satisfied now!"
"I'm satisfied."
"Then let me go."
"I might do it if Yui gives me one kiss?"
"Liar! You liar woo! Let go of me, bad guy! You're bullying me!"
The girl rebelled weakly in his arms.
Obviously she didn't seriously want to escape from him.
This girl was actually enjoying it, but pretending to be reluctant?
It must be said that tsundere is cute.
Although not all tsundere are cute because there are also some tsundere girls who often give people headaches.
Eiji wanted to bully Yui more and the girl was also actually kind of looking forward to his bullying which made him wonder if she had a fetish like that?
However, before they were about to do so...
"Cough, you two, please don't make a scene in our shop. If you want to tease each other, do it somewhere else."
A woman in charge of the school supplies store reprimanded them.
Yui broke away from his embrace, not forgetting to pinch his waist and said to the woman.
"Sorry!"
...
"Yui, Yui, hey..."
After finishing shopping for school supplies.
He and the black-haired girl walked back to the position of Lala and the others, but the girl seemed to be sulking a bit.
"...."
"Come on, Yui... Don't get mad, okay? Look, I even bought you a bunch of new school supplies. If you want, you can also buy other things you want."
"Thanks for that and this is enough, I'm not mad, but don't do that again, okay? We almost got kicked out of the store before..."
Yui blushed, she was thin-skinned and embarrassed because in the previous scene, there were also many people staring at her for making a scene with him.
"Yui is very shy."
"Of course! My face is not as thick as the person walking next to me!"
"Who?" Eiji looked around and pretended not to know who the girl was referring to. Even though he was the only one walking beside her.
"Who knows~"
Yui smiled and even gave him a teasing smile.
Oh, girl... You're teasing me?
Seeing the girl's big ass swaying under her black leggings, Eiji wanted to slap her ass.
"Eiji, Yui~! Where have you guys been?"
His pink-haired fiancé had just finished shopping for clothes with the blonde girl and the bunny girl.
"E-Eiji-san, we've also bought clothes for you! Can you try them on in the dressing room?" Asia, this girl is so nice.
"Oh! Sure, why not? Who picked this out? The size looks perfect for me."
"That's Mai-san, she knows your shirt and pants size just from looking."
The bunny girl, Mai smiled and looked to have a rather smug face. "That's just my guess, but I'm not sure if it really fits you."
Eiji smiled at the girl. "Thanks Mai."
The bunny girl blushed slightly, but tried to remain calm and nodded. "Glad you like it. It's normal for a girlfriend to buy clothes for her boyfriend, right? No need to thank me for that."
Different from an ordinary Tsundere.
Tsundere B is more honest with her actions instead of her mouth.
In the original work, Mai who dating the protagonist at school doesn't even hesitate to come to the protagonist's class often and eat in class with him.
She doesn't worry about rumors about her, or her artist face being rumored to be dating a man.
After liking someone and having a relationship with that person.
Girls like Mai aren't even afraid of her romantic relationship making her fans angry.
This girl is the rebellious type and won't listen to anyone once she really likes someone.
Eiji liked girls like this.
Lala, Yui, and even Asia.
He liked them.
Rias, Sona, and the others too.
Speaking of the latter, he certainly hadn't forgotten that he had to come to their location soon.
Especially after everyone he was waiting for had finally gathered.
Where did he know this from?
"Alpha, what's the situation now?"
He contacted someone he had assigned to monitor the situation of Rias and the others using his magic.
Precisely one of his subordinates!
On the other side.
"Eiji-sama. Everything is going almost as you planned. Although there are also some changes, but the girls you mentioned are fine so far."
A beautiful and elegant feminine voice replied.
On the roof of a certain building of the school that happened not to have been blown up by the impact of the battle.
Not a single person at the scene had noticed her existence.
She was Aplha, the Second Commander of Shadow Garden, and the Leader of the Seven Shadows. .
Her long blonde hair was more dazzling than gold, her pointed ears looked elf-like because she was an elf, and her perfect figure accentuated with slime-tight black pants had golden proportions, enough to make any woman envious.
She adorned herself in a regular slime bodysuit, with the chest area revealing her cleavage. There were also unique patterned decorations all around her uniform, reminiscent of the decorations on her dress, with many gold accents indicating her status as a Shadow Garden member. She wears a Shadow Garden bracelet with golden ends, overlays, and designs, signifying her authority. Her shoulder seams connect at the throat where the bodysuit pieces are placed stylistically over the sternum.
Under her breasts, a gold diamond shape is centered over the diaphragm, with two parallel gold lines starting from the bustier at the exposed cleavage and going down to where the torso meets the pelvis. Along her hips are gold stripes, with a symmetrical embellishment of two belts originating from the inner thighs and a third belt around the center of the femur.
People, especially men who see it, are bound to be mesmerized.
They would also be surprised and envious that such a beautiful girl was Eiji's subordinate!
There were also other beautiful girls, but they weren't here.
So put that aside.
Only Aplha was sent to monitor the situation of Rias and the others.
Eiji thought Aplha alone was enough for this and kindly said to that blonde elf.
"It's good to know Rias and the others are okay. But Alpha, tell me the details before I come."
"Yes Eiji-sama! So it's like this..."
Alpha enthusiastically explained what had happened to Rias, Sona, and the others, especially after Issei arrived as Kokabiel's reinforcements.
Hearing everything. Eiji was a little surprised and laughed.
"Eiji-sama? What should I do next?"
The blonde elf was quite serious, she seemed to be looking forward to making a move or something.
Unfortunately the leader said, "You just continue your monitoring and don't let anyone know your whereabouts for now."
"Unless something bad happens to the girls before I arrive, you don't need to help them."
"If that's what you want, then I'll do it."
Alpha said that and the magic communication with the leader was finally cut off.
Her blue eyes looked at the battlefield and widened a few times.
At first she was a little disappointed that the leader didn't let her move, but after seeing the power of those people.
Although she was very confident in her power, but compared to them, especially that boy with the red armor, she...
"This world has more strong people than our previous world."
"Are those devils in this world? They look like humans. There are also humans who have the power of dragons inside them..."
"What are fallen angels? What a strange race... Doesn't that mean angels also exist in this world?"
The blonde elf had many questions in her head, but her gaze often fell on the boy in red armor who looked evil for planning to force the girls to be with him.
She raised her eyebrows and narrowed her beautiful blue eyes. "That boy is one of the protagonists in this world. He is indeed evil, and he deserves to be punished by Eiji-sama."
"There are also other protagonists... As Eiji-sama's shadow, I and the others will definitely help him to purify this world of all evil, including the protagonists."
To make that blonde elf so hostile to the protagonists...
Don't know what Eiji said to that girl and the other shadows not long ago.
...
For now.
Let's go back in time for a few minutes.
"Rias!!!"
"Buchou!!!"
When Rias turned her head and was hit by a green light that blinded her vision.
She naturally panicked and immediately jumped back as far as she could with a flashing gaze filled with confusion.
"Hehehe! Rias, it's been a long time. Now, come to me, hug me and kiss me baby!"
The one who said that was of course Issei who landed from the sky with his Balance Breaker full armor.
But unlike before, the dragon aura he showed instantly made everyone depressed because this was at the level of an ultimate class creature!
Compared to Rias and Sona's aura, his aura is even more overbearing!
"Issei! What are you doing to Rias?!"
Sona appeared on the other side of Issei with her teleportation magic and immediately attacked the boy using her magic that was still active long ago.
Hundreds of water dragons roared and jumped out from the giant water ball above the sky that had now shrunk in size several times.
The girl had almost expended all her power just to attack Issei.
"This level of water magic... Too bad, something like this isn't enough to hurt me."
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Seeing many water dragons descending from the sky and about to crash into him. By simply releasing the green aura that exploded from his body, Issei managed to blast away all of Sona's attacks.
Behind his iron headgear, he grinned wickedly and instantly appeared in front of Sona.
"You too Sona! In this life, you must belong to me!"
Sona's face was very cold. "Although I don't know what you're trying to do. Issei, you're dreaming if you think I'll be yours. I already have a fiancé! My body and heart belong only to Eiji!"
Hearing this, Issei's heart was instantly filled with the fire of jealousy. He was enraged and almost tripped. "Don't mention that bastard's name!!!"
"Sona! You and the other girls-"
Before he could finish his words, many multi-layered mirrors blocked his path that was about to approach Sona.
It was Tsubaki's Sacred Gear ability, Mirror Allice who was currently teleporting near her King.
"Kaichou!"
Tsubaki certainly did not remain silent seeing a pervert wanting to lunge at her King.
"Naive! You think this mirror can withstand me?"
Issei sneered, he kept moving forward and planned to break all the copies of Mirror Alice. With his fists alone, he could do it.
All that mirrors were completely shattered and fragile before his dragon fist, but what greeted him next was a bolt of lightning containing holy power.
-Boom!!
"Rias, are you alright?!"
Seeing her King looking dazed after being slapped by Issei's green light that she didn't know what. Akeno was angry, she immediately summoned holy lightning with her magic circle to attack Issei.
In addition to her, Yuuto, Koneko, the others and surprisingly the black-haired woman in a black kimono who looked like a nekoshou also threw attacks.
-Boom!
-Boom!!
So Issei was bombed by many attacks at once.
Black smoke enveloped the blown-up Issei.
They wondered if Issei was dead?
But the sound of laughter could be heard from within the smoke.
"Hahahaha!"
Issei burst out laughing and after the smoke cleared.
His appearance, his armor still looked fine and the person inside also seemed to be unharmed after receiving that many attacks.
They were all surprised of course.
"Is this all you guys can do? Geez... Hehe... The current me is much stronger than you think!"
Issei continued to laugh arrogantly and he was secretly very grateful to the unknown person who sent him the package containing the bottles of liquid.
One of those bottles had really increased his power so far.
Otherwise, he would have been injured receiving many attacks from Sona and the others. And he wouldn't have been so confident to carry out this crazy, domineering plan.
He did not bother looking at Kokabiel, even though he was his ally. Having failed in plan A which was actually his own secret plan because he didn't really plan on letting Kokabiel succeed.
From the start Kokabiel only knew he would help him in the war, yet he didn't actually know that he was actually planning to kill him to pretend to be the hero who saved Rias and the others.
But that plan failed, he was upset of course and had no choice but to use plan B which meant forcing the girls to be with him.
As for how? Issei's grin grew wider, especially when looking at Rias.
"I-Issei, is that really you?"
His childhood friend Irina looked at him with a surprised look. There was disappointment in the girl's eyes, but Issei didn't care.
Even so, he was certainly still attracted to the figure of his beautiful childhood friend.
"Irina? It's really me. What? Were you disappointed to see my evil act of coercing women? As a Church person, you will do it."
"However, Irina, don't worry. I will definitely not forget you hehehe. You will also join my harem!"
Hearing Issei's shameless, unreasonable, and disgusting words. Irina could not help but feel disgust for her childhood friend.
She was getting more and more depressed. Not only was the God she worshipped dead, but even her childhood friend had become like this?
It seems almost impossible to get him back on the right path.
"Stop saying impossible things, Issei! What exactly did you do to Rias?!"
Sona was impatient, she was worried to see Rias who was hit by the green light earlier, now the girl continued to stand silently with dazed look.
"Ah right." Issei took off his face cover and let people see his unremarkable face, but he thought he was handsome.
"....." Some people wanted to punch him in the face.
But what the boy said next was surprising.
"What did I do to Rias? I just used my draconic aura to make her realize who she really loves."
"Rias, let's show them. Come to me and show that you love me by kissing me!"
"Eiji will definitely have a mental attack if he finds out about this hahaha! I can't wait to see his face!"
Disgusting.
That's what they thought after finding out what Issei actually did.
Basically, that boy used some sort of brainwashing magic on Rias, right? Sona and the other heroine had indeed heard about the draconic aura that could make the opposite sex easily fall in love with Issei from Eiji's inner voice in the past.
However they only knew that the effect wasn't that great, it was just a subtle effect that had to be stacked in such a way to be truly effective according to what Eiji said.
Even so, what happened now? It looks like Issei somehow managed to increase the draconic aura ability to the level of brainwashing!
This protagonist is crazy!
They saw Rias actually walking towards Issei with a drill-like weapon in her hand.
"Rias! Don't go there!"
"Buchou! Please come to your senses!"
Sona, Akeno, and the others certainly wanted to stop Rias' steps. But Issei's aura pushed them further away from Rias and the boy.
They could only watch as Rias finally arrived in front of Issei who opened her arms as if to hug the crimson-haired girl.
"Come on Rias! Come show me who you love! It's definitely not Eiji, you actually love me! Just like in the previous life."
Issei's gaze was full of excitement seeing the woman he loved the most in his previous life finally actually come to him like this.
After Rias, he would also transform the others and make them into his women.
Eiji? That bastard will suffer hahaha!
Issei was already fantasizing about his sex life every day, although he felt strange because right now his sword wasn't even in action.
Even so, he put this aside because he was finally going to receive a kiss from Rias!
"Huh? Rias, what are you doing? Why are you..."
However, instead of kissing him, the crimson-haired girl pointed her weapon at his body.
There was a smile on her pretty face, cold smile to be precise.
Issei felt a chill in his heart.
{No! No way! Why isn't my draconic aura working?! It has even been reinforced many times! Rias, you should have fallen in love with me by now.}
{But why? Why? Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!!}
"Why? I was never affected by your aura or anything from the start. I was just pretending, to get this chance."
"Other than that, I only belong to Eiji. As for you Issei Hyudou? There's no way I'm with you."
As Rias said that with a cold smile on her face, the weapon in her hand began to spin very fast.
Issei wanted to roar and rant about why Rias rejected him so much. Obviously she was his woman, in his previous life it was like that and in this life it should be like that too!
Even so, the girl did not give him a chance to speak!
He certainly wanted to avoid Rias' attack because unlike Sona and the others, the crimson-haired girl gave him a sense of crisis.
However...
It was too late.
Crimson light gathered at the tip of Rias' weapon and it shot Issei right in his armor-covered chest.
-Boom!!!
A loud explosion and crimson light lit up the battlefield sky.
Everyone closed their eyes for a moment and opened them only to see the dark clouds in the sky swept away to form a giant hole that was enough to illuminate the entire battlefield.
The sight was beautiful and made everyone feel like they had just woken up from a nightmare.
Rias wiped the sweat from her forehead as she planted her weapon on the ground.
Fortunately she aimed her attack at the sky while attacking Issei. Otherwise, with the output of her shot, the town not far from the school would have been blown up in a straight line several kilometers long and several hundred meters wide.
To unleash such a powerful attack, she must have almost used all of her devil power.
Now she was panting as if she had just finished exercising.
"I... Did I kill the protagonist without any remains?"
After all, her attack contained the power of destruction. If it was someone as weak as Kokabiel, his body would have been wiped out without leaving anything behind.
Although she hated and felt disgusted with Issei after all his actions, especially when he tried to brainwash her using his draconic aura. Which didn't work of course because it seemed that when she was hit by Issei's green light earlier, she had something like a barrier or something that protected her from fatal or mental attacks that could affect her.
That barrier was clearly not hers, but someone else's.
If she had to guess, it must be some kind of magic that Eiji left for her secretly that made her touched and feel warm in her heart.
"Ah... I miss Eiji already."
Rias seemed to be daydreaming while thinking about the white-haired boy and looking at the figure falling from the sky.
The one who fell from the sky was of course Issei whose armor was badly damaged and his body was covered in wounds.
The protagonist fell to the ground hard and made the ground beneath him make cracks like a spider web...
"That must have been quite painful." Saji said with some sympathy for Issei. But it was only a little, and he also actually disliked that boy for daring to attack Sona earlier.
As a fellow first year student at Kuoh Gakuen, he certainly knew Issei, but that did not make it enough to take his side in this situation.
"It's quite surprising that the boy managed to survive the previous attack, Nyaa. If it was anyone else, they'd probably be dead or missing some limbs. Except for certain people of course."
The people she was referring to were of course Eiji and some other beings that she thought were very powerful.
Kuroka who had made up with her younger sister was in a good mood. And seeing the protagonist suffer, somehow her mood also became better and better.
She wondered if she was starting to develop a sadistic hobby to see the protagonist suffer like Eiji?
"Nee-san, Nee-san, is that perverted boy really still alive?"
Koneko asked her older sister in a younger sister's tone.
Kuroka was even more excited to hear her little sister call out to her, her cat tail even kept swinging, she patted her sister's head and said: "Shirone, if you use senjutsu, you can feel that boy's body still has a lot of vitality even though it's seriously injured."
"Senjutsu? Nee-san, can you teach me that later?"
"Of course, Nyaa! Nee-san will teach you Senjutsu, Youjutsu, and even others later."
The relationship between the two sisters seemed very harmonious after making up.
They didn't even notice the stares of others who were wondering who the beautiful and sexy woman wearing the black kimono was.
Rias and Sona already knew who it was. Especially Rias, she was happy that her Rook had made up with her older sister.
Saji, who saw Kuroka, covered his bloody nose again.
"Gosh, where did that hot woman with cat ears and tail come from."
No one answered the blonde boy, they were too lazy to do so.
"The Red Dragon Emperor... Even he was defeated?"
Kokabiel who had been watching everything from earlier had an ugly expression.
The reinforcements that he thought could help him had now been defeated as well, defeated even worse than him.
His original plan to start a war had completely failed now!
Although he was very reluctant, he knew he had to give up and wasn't this a good chance to escape?
But just as he was about to move to escape, the crimson-haired girl, Rias Gremory suddenly appeared in front of him with her cursed weapon aimed at his neck.
"Kokabiel, where are you going? After the plan to trigger your war failed, do you think you can just leave?"
With her crimson hair slightly blowing in the wind and her black armor looking intimidating, Rias said expressionlessly and in a flat tone that made Kokabiel gulp.
"O-Of course not, but Rias Gremory! You can't kill me!"
"Oh? Why can't I?"
The weapon in her hand began to emit crimson light again, she really just wanted to tell Kokabiel not to be so arrogant when she was clearly the pathetic loser here.
But before she could do so, a magic attack flew towards her from a certain direction.
She parried the attack easily with her weapon and jumped back as someone wanted to kick her while landing in front of Kokabiel.
"Devil Gremory, enough! Can you hand Kokabiel over to me? Actually, you should hand her over to me because otherwise you'll be in trouble."
For the first time, Kokabiel wanted to cry at the sight of someone in silver armor who had just landed from the sky.
"....." Rias and the others wondered how many reinforcements Kokabiel had?
This guy is so important, right?

By the way, don't forget to throw power stones and leave a review to motivate me :)
Vali had actually been watching all the fights in this place since the beginning.
He even watched his destined rival, the Red Dragon Emperor.
He was excited when he first saw him, even Albion wanted him to fight with him because the other party also seemed to have grown as powerful as an ultimate-class being, even though he was human.
Vali's fighting intent surged at that time and he really wanted to fight with Issei. However, what disappointed him was...
Putting aside the actions of that Red Dragon Emperor who seemed to be crazy about making the girls there fall in love with him. Honestly, he felt his rival was disgusting for using the draconic aura to perform such actions.
But what disappointed him the most was that the Red Dragon Emperor was defeated by the devil of the house of Gremory.
He naturally knew how strong the devil of the house of Gremory named Rias Gremory was from the battle earlier, and he knew the other party was also very strong.
Even so, given his mission to save Kokabiel, he was not afraid of strong people.
Instead, he was eager to fight with anyone who dared to stand in him way of completing his mission!
"Um... Vali, I think this is a bad idea." Albion who was now in the form of silver armor could not help but say to his host.
"Do you think I can't defeat Rias Gremory, just like my rival, Albion? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But look, isn't Rias Gremory already exhausted after the previous battle?"
"She's definitely not as strong as before. Although I don't like fighting people this way, but if it's to complete my mission, I'll do it, even if it means fighting everyone here."
"I am Vali Lucifer after all! This generation's White Dragon Emperor! How could I possibly back down in the face of a challenge!"
"...." Albion paused. Actually he didn't tell Vali to retreat, but can you do it with other methods than violence? Although he also likes violent methods as a Dragon, but Vali, you seem to forget the existence of your teammates here which means something.
People originally wanted to ask who the man with the Gundam-like silver armor was, especially Rias who frowned at the other party wanting to ask Kokabiel from her.
But before she could ask anything, the man introduced himself and it turned out that he was Vali Lucifer!
This generation's White Dragon Emperor!
But so what?
Rias was annoyed that this person was so arrogant to ask her for something, without even asking and more like an order and a threat.
As the Heir of Gremory who naturally had pride, she couldn't help but be annoyed with Vali who acted as if he was above her.
"Vali! You came? Azazel told you to do it, right? Thank you and get me out of here quickly!"
Kokabiel really looks like a loser. What war veteran? What Great War survivor? With your current appearance, you look like a little villain character who wants to run away immediately after knowing your evil plan failed.
Vali looked at Kokabiel who was standing behind him indifferently. "Yes, Azazel told me to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to save your ass, Kokabiel."
Although Kokabiel felt insulted that Vali seemed to look down on him, he was glad that this junior in his faction had actually come to his rescue.
So he nodded and let the other party solve the problem for him.
Seeing Kokabiel, who was a coward not long ago, suddenly looking at her with pride because someone came to his rescue.
Rias was getting annoyed.
She stared coldly at the two men in front of her.
The weapon in her hand also buzzed with a crimson light that made Kokabiel hide behind Vali in fear, and Vali himself frowned.
"Wanting to take Kokabiel away just like that after causing trouble in devil territory and planning to trigger a war by taking the heads of me and the other people here."
"I remember Emperor White Dragon, you're also from Gregori, just like Kokabiel, right?"
Vali nodded arrogantly. "Yes, I'm half devil and human, I'm also the owner of the Vanishing Dragon, Albion. I don't really care about either faction, but it's true that I'm also part of Grigori and here to complete my mission to bring back Kokabiel to the organization."
"So Rias Gremory, you and the others can't stop me."
"Oh?" Rias smiled indifferently.
Vali was dumbfounded, he barely reacted when his body was already hit until it was thrown into the sky. And Rias Gremory, she saw the girl stab Kokabiel with her drill-like weapon.
"No! Stop it!! Rias Gremory!! You can't kill Kokabiel! If you do, aren't you afraid of your devil faction going to war with Grigori?!"
Vali howled in the sky, he certainly wanted to fly back immediately to save Kokabiel, but his body was suddenly locked inside the water ball.
It was Sona, she did it to help Rias, but she was also worried because after hearing what Vali said. She also realized that killing Kokabiel was not a good idea.
"Ahhh! Stop Rias Gremory! Vali, help me- Ahhh!!! It hurts!!! It hurts!!!"
Kokabiel screamed in pain, as her body was currently pinned to the ground by Rias' weapon that spun as if drilling into her stomach.
"Don't worry, I know it's not a good thing to kill you. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't torture you after all the trouble you've caused, right?"
Rias smiled sadistically, if Eiji saw her at this moment, he felt this girl learned something from him.
No, wait, it looks like this girl is more sadistic than him, right?
"Ahh! Ahh! Stop! Stop! Please... Rias Gremory- ahhhh!!!"
Sona didn't expect Rias to be this sadistic and cruel, but she didn't stop her because at least the girl knew not to kill Kokabiel.
"....." Akeno, Tsubaki, Saji and the others shuddered as they saw the blood spurting from Kokabiel who was being drilled by Rias.
It was honestly their first time seeing such a cruel scene, and they didn't expect to see it from a girl as beautiful as Rias.
Kuroka was used to the sight of blood, but she covered her sister's eyes with her hands so as not to see the cruel sight.
"....." Koneko.
When Kokabiel was cruelly tortured and Vali was trapped inside a giant water ball. Someone in the darkness wanted to jump out immediately, but he refrained when he saw that Vali could get out of the water ball.
-Boom!
Vali and his armor were soaked, he didn't expect escaping Sona Sitri's water magic to be troublesome enough to make him keep doing "Divide" dozens of times just to divide the water magic until it disappeared.
Sona was a little surprised to see Vali break free from his water prison. She was about to cast magic again, but Vali immediately darted towards Rias who was torturing Kokabiel.
"Rias Gremory! I'm warning you to stop right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking you seriously!"
"Vali, I think you should give up, Nyaa!"
Kuroka shouted from a distance, as part of Vali's team, she should certainly at least warn her that it was not a good idea to fight Rias, especially when the girl was also one of Eiji's women like herself.
Vali of course already knew Kuroka was also here from earlier, but he ignored her for the time being because what was more important to him now was his mission!
He had to bring Kokabiel back to Grigori!
However, that girl, Rias Gremory didn't even glance at him and continued to torture Kokabiel with a sadistic smile.
Vali was angry, he felt humiliated to be ignored by someone.
He literally darted towards the crimson-haired girl and used his compression ability to split everything, especially one's body.
He planned to make Rias Gremory at least lose an arm or something, but the girl's indifferent gaze glanced at him and she raised her weapon towards him.
The familiar crimson light like a laser exploded from the tip of her weapon and it actually targeted him!
"Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide...."
Vali continued to divide the attacks coming towards him, he continued to do so until....
Droplets dripped down his face which was covered by an iron headdress.
"Vali! I told you this was a bad idea! We're overloaded! If you keep absorbing and dividing the girl's power of destruction, you, no. We'll explode! We'll explode!" Albion complained as the Gundam wings on Vali's back kept flashing with blue light as if panicking about something.
His Balance Breaker mode also had its limits, okay? If the attacks his host wanted to absorb and share exceeded his capacity. It was fine if it was him when he was still a majestic white dragon, but now? Made into Sacred Gear by the God of the Bible, his power has been greatly restricted unless his host is able to unlock all his features.
And Vali had not been able to do so, his Balance Breaker mode was not enough to deal with the crimson-haired girl's attacks.
"Then what should I do?!" Vali also started to panic.
"....." Albion had a crazy idea.
"Vali, maybe you should let yourself get hit by that girl and you can pretend to faint so Azazel can take care of the rest."
"Wh-What? How could I, I'm Vali Lucifer, Emperor of the White Dragon..."
"You don't have much choice Vali! Also, did you really forget Kuroka was here? If she's here, there's a chance that the man who defeated you in that one attack also showed up!"
"Instead of making trouble with him with your current power, it's better to feign unconsciousness after receiving this attack."
"....." Hearing the man who defeated him in one attack, Vali stopped babbling. He even stopped saying "Divide, Divide, Divide".
What happened after he even stopped absorbing and dividing Rias' attacks with his abilities?
Isn't it obvious?
-Boom!!!
The sky was once again colored with fireworks and with this Rias was the world record holder who managed to beat two Heavenly Dragon owners in one day.
"..."
"..."
"..."
-Thud
Vali was lying on the ground with shattered armor and a body full of wounds.
People naturally thought the White Dragon Emperor was unconscious, just like the Red Dragon Emperor before him.
But Kuroka had a strange expression as she looked at the unconscious Vali in the distance.
With her Senjutsu, she clearly sensed that Vali was still conscious, yet somehow he pretended to be unconscious.
"This is strange, Nyaa. What exactly is Vali doing?"
At this moment, when Kokabiel was getting desperate and Rias was about to make the fallen angel pay for the trouble he caused today.
The crimson-haired girl frowned.
She wondered why so many people cared about Kokabiel?
Okay he was indeed one of the leaders of the Grigori, the fallen angel faction, but... Damn, couldn't these people stop showing up after she defeated them one by one?
"Vali! Kokabiel!"
A bearded man with black hair and golden bangs appeared. From his wings, it was clear that he was also a fallen angel, and from his 10 pairs of wings. He was definitely not an ordinary character.
Rias and Sona knew the man was the leader of the most famous Grigori in the supernatural world.
He was Azazel!
"Azazel, you should know who started first, right? We devils are just defending ourselves."
Putting aside Vali who was pretending to faint, but Kokabiel who was still stuck on the ground vomiting blood heard what Rias said.
You did defend yourself, but you retaliated against me more viciously.
"Heir Gremory, Heir Sitri..."
Although Azazel wanted to take care of the wounds of his foster son, Vali and bring back one of his generals, Kokabiel to be punished in Grigori for planning to start a war.
However, he has also been watching everything from the beginning and slyly continues to see if Kokabiel succeeds, or if Vali will also successfully complete the mission to stop Kokabiel at the last moment he gave him?
In the end both failed and it was because they underestimated the Gremory heiress and Sitri from the underworld, especially Rias Gremory. The girl was almost as fearsome as her older brother on the battlefield.
To have a good young seedling like this... The devil faction will definitely get stronger in the future.
To be honest, Azazel had the idea of killing Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri to reduce the threat of the devil faction in the future, but he quickly dismissed the idea from his head because the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
Sirzechs and Serafall would definitely not stay silent after he killed their younger sister. And those two Maou from the underworld, especially the latter would definitely not hesitate to start Devil and Fallen Angel war.
Azazel was a pacifist, he liked peace and didn't like war, although he was cunning and he was currently thinking of talking to the two Devil heirs.
"Azazel, are you also going to be as unreasonable as the White Dragon Emperor over there?"
Sona stood beside Rias and pointed at Vali who was lying on the ground.
"Of course not, I will definitely compensate you for the trouble Kokabiel caused by making trouble in your territory. As long as you let me take Kokabiel and Vali away, I will definitely compensate you satisfactorily."
Azazel said that to the two girls in front of him while secretly glancing at his friend, Kokabiel with pity. He certainly didn't want to see his comrade-in-arms die.
Even now when he saw Kokabiel being tortured by a young devil like Rias, he could not bear it. If not worried about any consequences. He would have attacked the aged Rias to save his friend.
"Azazel... You... You saved me, I- ahhhh!!"
"Heir Gremory! Isn't this enough?!"
Seeing Kokabiel being stabbed again by Rias' drill-like weapon, Azazel lost his composure and wondered why Sirzechs' younger sister was so cruel? Sirzechs was not even cruel and sadistic like this.
Who taught this girl to be so cruel at her age? She must have been influenced by someone.
Eiji: "....."
"Rias, I think we should agree to Azazel's offer." Sona said that to the crimson-haired girl.
Rias frowned, she knew what Sona said was indeed a good choice. However, she felt very uncomfortable being so submissive when someone who originally wanted to take her head was taken away by someone else.
Azazel looked at Sona happily.
See? Heiress Sitri seems to be easier to talk to than the others!
Seeing Azazel and even Kokabiel's happy expressions, Rias' expression became a little ugly.
She certainly didn't plan to kill Kokabiel because she knew it would make the relationship between the Devil and Fallen Angel factions even worse and there was a possibility of triggering a war.
But at the very least, Kokabiel should be punished in a more painful way to make him truly regret it, right? If she let Azazel bring Kokabiel back to his organization, she didn't know what kind of light punishment the crazy man who previously wanted to kill him, Sona and all her peerage would get.
"Rias, accept Azazel's offer. There's no point in prolonging this conflict."
A masculine and soft voice rang out. Rias and Sona were the most dumbfounded.
"Onii-sama! Grayfia and even Serafall-sama, since when are you guys here?!"
"Onee-sama!"
Coming to the venue were Sirzechs and his wife, Grayfia.
There was also Serafall who immediately embraced her younger sister, Sona.
"My Sona-chan! You were so cool before! Onee-chan was surprised you were that strong!"
"....." Sona blushed, feeling embarrassed and happy that her older sister saw how strong she was now.
But someone didn't seem happy about their arrival.
"No! Onii-sama, how can we just let Kokabiel go! She even tried to kill me and the others earlier."
"You should have seen it too, but you didn't come out and help me. If I wasn't as strong as I am now, I would have already died and even become that perverted boy's toy!"
"Onii-sama! Don't you care if something bad happens to me!"
The perverted boy Rias was referring to was of course Issei and she was surprised that her older brother seemed to be just hiding while watching it without doing anything back then?
Rias was disappointed in her older brother, even though she didn't plan on asking for his help from the start, but if the person in question was watching from earlier. Why didn't her older brother come, especially when Issei might have actually managed to brainwash her if she didn't have something from Eiji.
She also looked at Grayfia and wondered why that woman didn't move to help her either if they were watching from the start?
Grayfia who received Rias' gaze felt guilty. It was true that she, Sirzechs, and Serafall were watching everything from the beginning. As someone who could hear the inner voice about the plot that would happen today, she would have told her husband that something bad might happen to Rias and the others at school.
Serafall had even come to them at that time and they had secretly watched Kokabiel's arrival from the start. She and Serafall would have wanted to finish Kokabiel early, but somehow Sirzechs didn't let them do so and kept persuading them to watch.
They were even surprised that Sirzechs still persuaded them to watch when Issei wanted to do something to Rias and Sona. Luckily both of them were fine, otherwise Serafall would have blamed Sirzechs for making him too late to save his little sister.
And here they were now, finally Sirzechs let them out and be seen in front of everyone.
Sirzechs was receiving disappointed looks from his younger sister and unpleasant looks from the others. He certainly felt a little uncomfortable, but he smiled at his younger sister.
"Rias, you misunderstand. It's not that I don't care about you, but I...." For some reason Sirzechs seemed slow to answer as if he was looking for an excuse, which made Rias look at him with sadness and disappointment.
Even Grayfia, she started looking at her husband with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. To be honest from the start, she also did not understand why Sirzechs insisted on keeping quiet and watching as her younger sister faced one problem after another in front of her eyes.
At this moment the sound of footsteps and a boy's voice familiar to all women rang out.
"Well... Am I late?"
[Even though Rias and Sona said they could handle Kokabiel alone. In the end I got worried and came over, especially when protagonist was also here.]

A/N 2: I hate this arc. Only because I follow canon. Please endure 1 more chapter tomorrow and finally this boring arc ends. As I said in the previous few chapters. I'm not satisfied with this Excalibur arc, and honestly politics is not my forte. I'll even do a time skip later because I really don't like what I wrote in this arc. But that's okay, this is a lesson for me not to force myself into a field that I'm not good at.
