"What beautiful red hair."
Speaking of this, a flash of disgust crossed Kokabiel's face, and he continued, "It reminds me of your hateful brother; it almost makes me want to throw up."
"Kokabiel..."
Rias's tone was difficult, her hands trembling.
This was the first time she had faced the aura of such a legendary figure!
As expected, terrifying!
But!
Rias's eyes became stern; she was the next head of the Gremory family!
"What exactly is your goal?!"
"Hmph!"
Kokabiel stared at her with his crimson eyes, his mouth twisted in a ferocious way, "If you were to die..."
"Serafall would definitely avenge you, right?"
Rias's eyes widened instantly, "Are you trying to start a great war between Devils and Fallen Angels?!"
"No, no, no!"
Kokabiel shook his head, then grinned, revealing sharp teeth, his expression ferocious as he said, "Not just Devils and Fallen Angels!"
"It is a war between Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels!"
Rias cursed angrily, "You madman!"
"Hmph!"
Kokabiel said dismissively, "Clearly, in the last war, the Fallen Angels were about to win!"
"That bastard Azazel, he was actually obsessed with researching Sacred Gears!"
"Since that's the case, I will be the one to restart the war!!"
Hearing this, Rias did not hesitate at all; the aura of destruction completely erupted, without any reservation!
Hum—
A giant purple magic circle rose from in front of her out of thin air.
Boom!!
The next moment.
A full-power strike from a High-Class Devil completely exploded!
Himejima Akeno did not hesitate either!
She knew that relying on Rias's power alone was completely insufficient.
Hum!
Golden lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at Kokabiel!
"I will assist you!"
Xenovia also stepped forward, holding Durandal!
The next second!
A beam of light with a holy aura shot towards Kokabiel!
Three mighty energies struck over; Kokabiel just smiled disdainfully, and a giant magic circle rose up!
Boom!!
The three full-power strikes of High-Class Devils hit the magic circle!
Kokabiel just waved his hand, immediately extinguishing the three energy beams.
Seeing this, Rias's expression darkened.
As expected.
This kind of character was completely not something they could deal with!
"Huff, huff—"
Himejima Akeno and Xenovia panted heavily.
Clearly, they had just exhausted all their strength.
Xenovia couldn't help but feel some doubt.
Would she and Irina really be able to snatch back the Excalibur from the hands of such a figure?
Was it overestimating them too much?
Despair spread in the depths of her heart.
Kokabiel looked down at them, "Daughter of the Gremory, your power of destruction is still far inferior to your brother's."
Rias clenched her teeth, glaring at him.
Kokabiel didn't care, his expression flat, and continued looking at Xenovia: "Durandal is indeed a good sword."
"But..."
"Ultimately, it still depends on the skill of the wielder."
Kokabiel looked at Himejima Akeno again, "Ho?"
"Baraqiel's daughter, to think she has fallen and become a Devil..."
Hearing the name Baraqiel, Himejima Akeno clenched her fists.
Kokabiel arrogantly critiqued each of them before curling his lip in boredom, "Freed, I'll leave the rest to you."
This group wasn't worth him lifting a finger.
"Yes, yes, boss!"
Freed stuck out his tongue, his face twisted in a grin, "Hahaha, Devils and church folk tempering my newly born Holy Sword together!"
"How truly wonderful!"
With a glint in his eyes, Freed charged forward and swung the Excalibur at Rias.
Rias's pupils constricted violently; she tried to cast magic again, but her whole body staggered.
Her magic power had been completely exhausted during that last strike!
A sense of helplessness rose within her.
Damn it!
She was the next head of the Gremory clan!
Was she really going to fall in a place like this?
She... hadn't annulled her engagement yet!
She hadn't... with the person she admired...
At this thought, the image of Lynn suddenly appeared in Rias's mind.
Just at that moment, Lynn suddenly spoke, "Kuroka."
"Yes, nya~"
The next instant.
Kuroka's figure instantly appeared in front of Rias, her golden pupils radiating a dangerous aura.
She completely ignored the descending Excalibur.
Hum—
A purple barrier unfolded; the Excalibur struck it, emitting a crisp sound.
But!
A flash of confusion crossed Freed's eyes.
To think... there was something his Excalibur couldn't cut?
This was a fusion of four Holy Swords!!
But!
Before he could do anything else, a grey flame, formed from a mixture of Senjutsu's pure energy and demonic malice, lunged toward him!
Freed's pupils constricted, and he just wanted to use the ability of the Holy Sword of Light.
But!
He couldn't... he couldn't move?!
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—"
"My, my soul!"
"My soul is burning, aaaaaahhh!!"
Freed immediately clutched his head and screamed!
Bang!
The Excalibur fell to the ground.
The next second.
Freed was burned to nothingness!
Both his body and soul were burned away completely!
The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.
Rias stared at Kuroka's back and murmured blankly, "Kuroka?"
Just then.
On the sofa.
Lynn's voice rang out.
"How is it, Rias."
"How have you considered my proposal from just a moment ago?"
Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at where the voice came from.
They saw a man with black hair and red eyes, carrying a calm demeanor, holding a cup of black tea and taking a sip as if enjoying it.
