At Abel's home, Abel was currently sitting on the sofa, his expression somewhat grave. The wind had already conveyed all the news.
"I didn't expect the Church, the Fallen Angels, and the Godslayers to unite."
Abel had an 'as expected' expression, then muttered to himself, "It seems I can extort a bit more during the Three Factions Conference."
He didn't need to worry about Rias's side. After all, they could hold their own, and he would also send people to help.
Moreover, his main battlefield was the fight against Voban.
"My Lord."
"Abel-kun."
...
All of Abel's Peerage was present at this moment, though Shizuka was, of course, missing again. There was nothing to be done, the timing was just that inconvenient.
Abel nodded slightly at them, it was time to divide their forces.
"Miko."
"Here."
Hearing Abel call her, Miko quickly stepped forward.
Abel began to issue commands, "Miko, you take Asia, Hana, and Shinobu to the school to help Rias and her group."
"Understood."
Miko and her group received the order, and without asking further questions, they teleported to Kuoh Academy.
Now, only Kanae, Erica, and Mitsuri remained in the room. As for Kanao, children should focus on their studies.
At this moment, Athena, one of the three slacking members, arrived.
"My Lord, do I need to help?"
Abel looked at Athena and didn't speak. After all, Voban's target was her, and while he could bring her, it wasn't necessary. It was better for her to stay home, and he would take her on the next group outing.
"No need, just rest assured at home."
"Alright."
Athena was a bit bored, so she went to Tiamat's side and continued to be a slacker.
Abel's gaze fell on Elsha and Grayfia.
Grayfia came to Abel's side and asked, "Are there any instructions, Master?"
"There are."
Abel smiled and continued, "Grayfia, please go replace Sona's side in maintaining the barrier. If they can't win, then you can intervene."
Then Abel looked at Elsha and said, "The same for you, please assist Grayfia. Moreover, Albion's host is nearby."
Elsha, who had been uninterested, immediately perked up.
Abel had told her that this generation's White Dragon Emperor was the strongest, so she naturally wanted to test his strength and say hello.
Elsha and Grayfia said, "Understood."
With that, they went to Kuoh Academy.
Only then did Abel look at the others.
"Get ready to bring our companions back."
"No problem."
"A disheveled Liliana... I'm coming to rescue you."
...
Seeing everyone's high morale, Abel activated 'Gale' and prepared to confront Voban.
—
Voban's tower.
As gusts of wind suddenly blew, in the open space, Abel and his group appeared before Voban.
Liliana in the cage and Mariya Yuri on the ground showed joy at Abel's appearance, but then they suddenly remembered something and shouted at him.
"King, Voban's target is you, be careful."
"King, Voban's authorities include Lyceus's Wolf, Osiris's Undead Servan—"
"Yuri, I know all this, but you've still worked hard. Leave the rest to us."
Abel interrupted Mariya Yuri, as he knew a lot about Voban's authorities.
He smiled slightly at Liliana and her group, signaling her to relax, then looked at Voban, who was surrounded by wolves, and walked forward.
Erica looked at Liliana in the cage, preparing to go and take her out, but suddenly sensed something and quickly retreated.
A large pit appeared where she had just been.
A Light Mage holding a staff appeared below the cage, followed by knights, mages, and various non-human creatures killed by Voban, who slowly stood up.
"Everyone, get ready to fight."
"Understood!"
Erica looked at the group of undead, a smile on her lips as she gazed at Liliana hanging from above.
"Liliana, I'm here to save you."
"Cuore di Leone, I entrust the battlefield to you! Lion Steel, rip him part. Bore through him. Crush him in your jaws!"
Saying this, Erica threw the sword in her hand high into the air, followed by a rose-adorned magic circle lighting up, and then a lion made of steel appeared before them.
"Oh, Lions! Tear apart the enemies before you!"
As her words fell, the lions pounced towards the undead.
On the high platform.
Voban stood up from his seat, a hint of excitement in his eyes, and more of a playful assessment.
"You really dared to come."
"I had no choice. You took my vassal," Abel said, spreading his hands.
Voban looked at Abel without speaking, both watching the battle below.
Voban suddenly felt a little envious. Where did this guy find so many promising individuals?
But as long as he killed him he, along with his retainers, would become his own.
At this moment, Abel spoke, "I didn't expect the first Campione to stoop to colluding with the Church and the Fallen Angels."
Voban scoffed, "To achieve one's goal, one does not bother with trifles. How noble can you be? You made the King of Swords demand my knight, which bothered me endlessly."
"My apologies, that was indeed my fault."
Abel said nonchalantly, then his lips curved into a smile. "But I am different from you. I protect my companions, while you merely satisfy your own selfish desires."
As he spoke, below, Erica's steel lions and the undead were locked in a fierce battle.
Kanae and Mitsuri also joined the fray. Kanae faced the strongest knight from a hundred years ago, while Mitsuri looked expectantly at the mud giants summoned by the mages before her.
They had their respective battlefields. So, next was the battle between Voban and Abel.
Abel looked at Voban and said calmly. "Tonight, one Campione will fall, and that person will be you."
Hearing Abel's words, Voban burst out laughing. "Hahaha! What an interesting new King. Indeed, someone will fall tonight, but it cannot be me."
Voban's pupils glowed green, and many wolves stood up around him, staring intently at Abel.
Abel was not to be outdone, and black snakes emerged from the shadows.
Voban was stunned, then quickly understood something.
Abel had killed Athena!
"You young people are truly annoying. Eight years ago, the King of Swords snatched away the Heretic God I summoned, and now you've snatched Athena, who I summoned four years ago."
"Then let's settle all old and new scores tonight."
The sky, imperceptibly, began to rain heavily, then more and more, forming a torrential downpour with lightning and thunder.
Currently, Voban was in an extremely foul mood.
"Interesting, it sounds as if I can't control the weather."
As Abel spoke, the authority from the "God of Storms" began to activate, starting a struggle for control over the weather.
At the same time, four black spheres appeared around him. Ohirume activated, revealing the black spheres representing gravity and disintegration.
"Then let the war begin."
"Come on! You arrogant brat!"
