At this moment, Kuoh Academy.
Kokabiel stood high in the sky, looking down at the crowd below.
"I am the Ten-Winged Fallen Angel, Kokabiel. It's a pleasure to meet you, young ladies of the Gremory and Sitri clans."
As he spoke, Kokabiel looked at Rias's red hair and continued, "Hair the color of blood is pleasing to the eye, exactly like your brother Sirzechs."
Rias and Sona, among others, stared intently at Kokabiel above. An enemy of this level could only be temporarily avoided. They had to wait for Abel to arrive quickly for support.
Perhaps knowing what Rias and the others were thinking, Kokabiel said with a smile, "Let me guess what you're waiting for? That Devil Godslayer? I think he might not make it."
"What do you mean!"
Rias and Sona asked with serious expressions.
Kokabiel's lips curved upward into a mocking smile. "It's just as it sounds. After all, it's his honor to fight the first Godslayer. But with Voban's strength, that kid is probably in grave danger. You can't count on him, it'd be faster to call your brother now."
Rias and the others were all stunned.
The first Godslayer, Voban, who had lived for hundreds of years.
It turned out that in places they couldn't see, Abel was actually fighting such a powerful enemy.
Then she couldn't let him be distracted. So now, they could only rely on themselves.
Rias looked at Kokabiel in the sky and asked,
"What do you want to do?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Kokabiel continued indifferently, "To have a grand battle in the human world, centered around Kuoh Academy. That way, Sirzechs will show himself."
Rias stared intently at Kokabiel in the sky. He wanted to restart the three-way war between Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.
The previous three-way war was basically at the intersection of the Underworld and Heaven. This time, Kokabiel actually wanted to bring the war to the human world, which would also drag humanity into it.
"So your goal is to incite war."
Kokabiel looked at Rias, and laughed. "Hahahaha! Exactly! That's it."
Kokabiel extended his hand and clenched it, then spoke with a crazed declaration, "Ever since the war ended, I've been so bored. This monotonous life shouldn't belong to me."
"I crave war! I crave the bloody scenes of the past, the thrill of severing an enemy's head! I crave this feeling of 'it's either you die or I die'!"
"Since no one will start this war, then I will be the fuse for this war! Let me ignite this false peace!"
Kokabiel began to laugh maniacally.
This kind of peace didn't belong to him, only war could bring him pleasure.
Listening to Kokabiel's words, Rias and Sona, among others, showed expressions of disbelief.
What kind of twisted logic was that?
What did he take life for?
Kokabiel looked at Rias and the others on the ground and said, "So, this time, I'll start with you Devils, and then frame it on the Angels. Lucifer and Leviathan's sister died at the hands of the Church. And Beelzebub's brother died at the hands of humanity, which can also drag humanity into it, leading to an unprecedented four-way war."
Rias's eyes widened in fury, and her demonic power surged around her. "You lunatic, we will never let you succeed!"
Sona stood beside Rias, her eyes resolute.
Akeno, Tsubaki, and the rest of the peerage stood behind their masters.
Kokabiel sneered. He waved his hands, and several energy beams shot towards the crowd.
Rias and the others activated their magic circles to block.
At this moment, Freed, holding his Holy Sword, charged towards Rias. "Boss, you just watch from the sky! Let me be the key to starting this war!"
In an instant, Freed had arrived in front of Rias, a crazed expression appearing on his face. "Aren't you surprised, Miss Devil!"
Then he swung his sword, aiming for a vital point.
Feeling the threat of the Holy Sword, it was too late to dodge.
At the same time, a figure appeared in front of Rias.
Clang!
"Xenovia!"
Xenovia, holding the "Holy Sword of Destruction," blocked Freed's attack.
Looking at Freed, who had betrayed the Church, she intended to personally clean up the mess.
At this moment, Yuuto suddenly appeared behind Freed, then swung his sword. Freed sensed danger and immediately did a backflip.
"Hahaha! That was close. This is getting interesting."
After landing, a hint of excitement flashed in Freed's eyes. He brandished his Holy Sword and charged towards Yuuto and Xenovia again.
The three engaged in battle, swords intertwining. The clashing of blades was incessant.
At this moment, Kokabiel was already seated on his throne, looking down at Rias and the others below, as if looking down at ants. He had no interest in the children below.
"Let my pets play with you."
With that, Kokabiel snapped his fingers. A magic circle appeared, followed by towering flames. Faintly, three heads could be seen within the flames. Then a claw appeared, and slowly, a three-headed hound materialized before their eyes.
Rias and the others' eyes widened. "Cerberus!"
"This is the gatekeeper residing at the gates of Hell."
Rias and the others hadn't expected Kokabiel to bring Cerberus to the human world. He intended to turn the human world into a purgatory.
No, they had to send people out to set up a barrier. They absolutely couldn't let the battle at Kuoh Academy spread.
"Sona!"
"Understood!"
Sona knew what Rias meant and was about to turn to go outside and set up the magic array, but then she froze in place.
There was more than one Cerberus!
