บท 872: Jabberwocky 1

Azazel and Sirzech walked together since they needed to visit the bastard skeleton together.

Sirzech looked at the two young men who were following them, "Are these the users of Zenith Tempest and Canis Lykaon?"

"Yes," Azazel nodded.

"Nice to meet you," two of them said at the same time.

"My name is Tobio Ikuse," Tobio said. He is a young man with short black hair and pale grey eyes. His appearance is similar to a boy that is living in your next door.

"My name is Dulio Gesualdo," Dulio said. He is a young man with blond hair, green eyes, and dressed in priest clothes. He was very calm while talking with them and gave a holy aura around his body.

"Those two will become our guard," Azazel said.

"Well, that's true," Sirzech nodded.

"Governer, Maou-sama, who was that masked person in the meeting earlier?" Dulio asked. He had never seen him but he could feel that masked man was very powerful and there were a lot of girls around him.

"That person is Archer. He is famous because of his feat of catching Loki in the past," Sirzech said.

"Yeah, but his real identity is a secret. He doesn't want to do anything troublesome," Azazel said.

"I understand," Dulio nodded and said, "If it's not the order of Michael-sama, I won't do something troublesome and continue to tour around the world to eat something."

"......"

"Let's just go back as soon as possible and then we can have a feast," Azazel said.

"Yes," Dulio said with a smile.

Sona walked while looking at the hilt ornament in her hand.

"Sona-chan!"

Sona was suddenly hugged by someone, "Onee-sama....." She felt quite tired all of a sudden.

Serafall hugged her little sister for a while trying to recharge her energy and looked at the hilt ornament on her hand curiously, "What's that?"

"It's from Archer," Sona said, and added, "He has said that it is going to heal me."

"Really?" Serafall looked at the hilt ornament curiously and used it before they were enveloped by a pink warm light that made them very comfortable.

"Comfortable....."

Serafall nodded and said, "Be careful, alright? He has given you this and you can use it when your peerage or yourselves are in danger."

"Yes," Sona nodded in response.

"Where is he?" Serafall asked.

"I am not sure he has gone out with Rossweisse-san," Sona said.

"Hmm, I want to go with him," Serafall sighed.

"Once-sama, you might meet him on the battlefield," Sona said.

"That's true," Serafall said, and added, "I will invite him to the Magical Girl Leviathan sequel later after the trouble is over."

"......" Sona looked at her big sister with a tired gaze.

Serafall smiled while looking at her, "Now, you're not nervous anymore! I will leave the evacuation to you."

Sona blinked her eyes and nodded, "Yes!"

"Good, I'll go now," Serafall said before flying in to fight the monster.

Sona looked at her big sister and turned toward her peerage, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Rias along with her peerages also started to move to help with the evacuation. Even though their jobs might look easy, it wasn't the case since they also needed to fight a small monster that had been created by the gigantic monster.

"Everyone! Please don't push each other! We will guide you to the shelter!" Asia shouted.

Slash!

Xenovia used her Durandal to cut one of the monsters, "It isn't going to end." She could see that the number of monsters that had come out from the gigantic monster was endless.

"Don't give up!" Rias said and sent out her destruction magic toward the group of monsters.

"Dragon Blaster! Dragon Blaster!" Issei was spirited after Rias had promised to give him a date after this trouble was over.

"Issei! Don't work too hard!" Rias shouted.

"Yes!" Issei started to calm down when he heard her voice.

Akeno sent out a beam of electricity toward the monster. She wanted to follow him but she knew that she needed to help Rias.

"Do you want to follow him?" Rias suddenly came toward her.

"..." Akeno didn't answer and gave her a nod, "I am just worried."

Rias thought for a while and said, "He has something that is able to protect him from anything."

"Oh? So something really happened when you were trapped earlier?" Akeno asked.

Rias blushed, "W - What?!"

"....." Akeno sighed and asked, "If something really happens why have you promised Issei to have a date?" She didn't understand her actions.

Rias was silent for a while and said, "I want to confirm something."

"Confirm?" Akeno asked.

"Yes," Rias nodded and said, "Whether I have a feeling toward Issei or not. That way I can say for sure what kind of relationship that we will have in the future."

"That's true," Akeno nodded and said, "I agree with you."

"Good," Rias nodded.

"So what is really happening there?" Akeno suddenly asked.

Rias blushed again and said, "It's a secret!"

Vali received telepathy from Azazel, "Azazel and Maou are on the way."

"That's good," Arthur nodded.

"I can't wait for this," Bikou said while swinging his staff around.

"Yes, nyaa. Let's have a blast with this Hanging Garden of Babylon, nyaa," Kuroka said.

"Don't destroy this place! We have stayed in this place for a long time! I have a lot of memories with it!" Bikou said since then he has been reluctant to destroy the place.

"I never said I would destroy it, nyaa! This place is full of weapons, right? Use all of them later, nyaa," Kuroka said.

"I am more curious about the dagger that he has given you," Arthur said.

"Yes, nyaa. I am also curious but he has said that it is susprirsed," Kuroka said.

"I can't wait for this surprise," Vali said.

They nodded before moving from Hanging Garden Babylon to Hades's house.

Suddenly there was a hexagon start portal that appeared in the sky before two figures appeared from it.

"That's the monster, huh? It's bigger than I thought," Rossweisse said.

"Yes, let's try to test the defense and durability of this monster," Yuuki said and created a Balmung on his hands before raising it on the top of his head, creating an enormous blue beam sword swinging it down to the monster.

"Balmung!"

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!
