Chapter 441: The Kuoh Massacre (III)...

[Unknown Location, Underworld] 

"Where is Kokabiel?" Shalba Beelzebub questioned with a blank look on his face. 

"He has acquired two more Excaliburs. Right now, he is in Kuoh Academy waiting for the sisters of those fakers. Apparently, he wants to blow up the town" Katerea Leviathan deadpanned as she pushed up her glasses. 

"Then shall we start moving?" Creuserey Asmodeus questioned and turned towards Shalba Beelzebub. He wanted to know both Shalba's and Katerea's opinions. 

"...Let's move but we will only reveal ourselves after the sisters of those fakers arrive" Shalba Beelzebub said and Creuserey Asmodeus raised an eyebrow. 

"Why? Couldn't we just go and kill them?" Creuserey asked and Katerea Leviathan practically rolled her eyes. 

"Then we might miss someone… we can't have that. We need them and their peerages in one place or one of them might call those fakers" Katerea Leviathan said and Creuserey Asmodeus slapped the table and stood up with an indignant look on his face as he glared at the bespectacled busty woman. 

"Are you perhaps afraid of those fakers??!!" Creuserey Asmodeus accused Katerea in a dangerous tone and this time both Katerea Leviathan and Shalba Beelzebub rolled their eyes. Creuserey Asmodeus's ego was fragile like glass. 

"Calm down Creuserey, she simply didn't want anyone running away" Shalba Beelzebub said and Creuserey finally nodded his head in understanding and sat down. Both Katerea and Shalba knew which buttons to push when Creuserey's fragile ego was hurt. 

"Katerea, tell your army to prepare the circles, we will be moving in as soon as the Teleportation Circles are prepared" Shalba Beelzebub said and Katerea nodded her head in understanding and left the room… 

[Kuoh Academy] 

Both Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory finally returned to the Kuoh Academy along with their peerages. Yachiru Unohana was also accompanying the sisters of two former Devil Kings. Both Rias and Sona knew that woman was really close with Hela but she was yet to make any moves, that was quite surprising. 

After Unohana had finished healing Irina Shidou and Issei Hyoudou, Rias Gremory's bishop, Asia Argento decided to heal the two of them with her Sacred Gear. Only after a couple of minutes, both Issei Hyoudou and Irina Shidou regain their consciousness. 

As expected, both of them wanted to immediately head back to Kuoh Academy to stop Kokabiel from blowing up the town sky-high. Rias Gremory immediately agreed with her pawn and decided to stop Kokabiel even though a Cadre would be way out of their league. 

Throughout the whole time, Sitri's eyes were fixed on Yachiru Unohana. Surprisingly the woman didn't seem to have any sort of reaction after hearing their decision. She didn't even bother to contact Hela or anyone. Sona really wanted to avoid a conflict with such a high-level foe but Rias was already on her way back to Kuoh Academy. 

So Sona could only follow the crimson-haired girl. "We are here. I can sense a presence inside the school" Unohana made an off-handed comment as soon as they landed. Both Tsubaki Shinra's and Akeno Himejima's eyes met for a moment and both of them gave each other a subtle nod. 

Nobody noticed the gesture except for Unohana. The next moment, both Queens were sending a message to the older siblings of their Kings. "Then what are we waiting for? We need to stop Kokabiel!" Issei Hyoudou exclaimed loudly as the boy stupidly started to dash inside the school. 

"Xenovia! We must work along with the Devils!" Irina Shidou reminded Xenovia as both Xenovia and Irina rushed inside the school followed by Rias's rest of peerage. All of a sudden Rias stopped in her steps and turned towards Sona. 

"Sona, we are going to stop Kokabiel. You must create a barrier around the School" Rias said and ran inside the school. 

Sona simply grimaced, she couldn't believe her childhood friend was so stupid. Doing something like this was the epitome of stupidity. She understood that Kokabiel must be stopped but he was a Cadre, not a random Fallen. 

Sona's eyes finally landed on the calm-looking woman standing right beside her peerage. The woman looked sad but her eyes were glittering with kindness. "I am surprised that you aren't acting. Do you want all of them to die?" Sona questioned and Unohana simply turned her head so she could look into Sona's eyes. 

"Sometimes the young generation must learn on their own. You can't always hold their hands… tell me Sitri-San, do you want your sister to always hold your hands?" Unohana questioned and Sona frowned. Sona understood what Unohana meant but wasn't doing something like this too risky?

"You know someone could die, right?" Sona questioned and Unohana sullenly nodded her head. 

"Yes, I know. Someone could die but if Kokabiel really wanted to kill anyone then he would have killed everyone under the bridge… he wants spectators" Unohana said and Sona finally saw Unohana's point. 

Sona finally turned towards her peerage. "Tsubaki, prepare the barrier" Sona ordered and Tsubaki nodded her head in understanding but before she could move Unohana decided to intervene. 

"Don't bother… we are going to have a lot of guests. We would need a different type of barrier" Unohana said with a kind smile on her face. For a moment Tsubaki wondered if the woman had noticed her sending the message to Serafall Leviathan. Not that it mattered. 

Sona simply frowned after hearing Unohana's words. "Follow me…" Unohana said and disappeared from her spot. Unohana appeared on the roof of the school. Sona didn't know what to do so she decided to follow the woman. Two leathery bat wings appeared behind her and she made her way towards Unohana. 

The rest of Sona's peerage simply followed their King. Genshirou Saji knew that he was going to have a lot of troubles after everything was over so he simply followed the others with daring to say anything. Sona and her peerage landed behind Unohana and all of them frowned when they saw Rias's peerage getting decimated by a psychotic priest wielding Excaliburs. 

"Is that the holy sword Durandal?" Tsubaki subconsciously questioned as soon as her eyes landed on the sword Xenovia was wielding. 

"Durandal?" Unohana questioned with a confused look on her face. 

Both Tsubaki and Sona gave the woman a questioning look but still decided to answer. "Durandal is one of the Four Holy Swords forged through the means of alchemy and magic, it is said to be on par with the original Excalibur" Sona explained and Unohana nodded her head in understanding. 

"The weapon won't matter much if the person welding it is not capable" Unohana muttered and Sona and her peerage couldn't help but agree. 

"So, they finally decided to show up" Unohana muttered while looking over the horizon, confusing Sona and her peerage. Moments later, thousands of Teleportation Circles appeared in the air and Devils started to appear on the battlefield. Three noticeable Teleportation Circles appeared and Sona immediately recognized all of them and paled drastically. 

"The Old Satan Faction" Sona gasped in horror and Unohana raised her brows as she pulled out a talisman from her shihakusho. Even Tsubaki paled after hearing Sona's words, the others from Sona's peerage didn't know anything about the Old Satan Faction. 

Kokabiel immediately stood up from his makeshift throne and glared towards the Teleportation Circles belonging to the Old Satan Faction. "What the hell are you doing here?!!" Kokabiel thundered in anger as he clenched his fists tightly. He didn't know anything about this… 'Did Lucifer decide to betray me?' Kokabiel wondered. 

Finally, the leaders of the Old Satan Faction appeared. "Kokabiel… pesky as always" Shalba Beelzebub muttered with disdain in his voice. 

"Kokabiel, why don't you stand aside? Consider this to be courtesy as we belong to the same group" Katerea questioned. After a few moments of silence, Kokabiel grinned and nodded his head. 

"As long as a War breaks out I have no problems with it" Kokabiel said with a shrug. Kokabiel might be a prideful Cadre level Fallen Angel who had fought in the last war but he wasn't stupid. There was a very small chance of winning if he decided to fight against the three of them. 

"No!! What are you doing? You promised…" Freed Sellzen started to protest hysterically but he froze when a massive hole appeared on his chest. He spat out a lot of blood from his mouth and dropped to the ground, dead. 

"Insect" Creuserey Asmodeus spat in disdain. He had his palm pointed towards the now dead Freed Sellzen. 

"Who the hell are you??!!" Issei Hyoudou questioned hysterically but a huge light spear stabbed him through his chest. Everyone gasped in horror as they saw Issei slowly drop to the ground. 

"Issei!!" 

"Issei-San!!" 

"Hyoudou-San!!" 

"Senpai!" 

"Hyoudou!" 

Various despair filled screams were heard as Rias and her peerage rushed towards Issei's body. Even the two Exorcists rushed towards the Issei. Issei lay there on the ground completely unmoving and his eyes slowly dimmed as life left his body. 

"Oops! My hand slipped!" Kokabiel said loudly in a sheepish manner. Nobody said anything as everyone knew that Issei Hyoudou was the owner of Boosted Gear so getting rid of him before he could even activate his Sacred Gear was a good thing. Alas, Ddraig's resurrection wasn't made public knowledge. 

"Filthy weaklings! Since you care about him so much, let me send all of you after him" Shalba Beelzebub said in a disdainful tone and pointed his palm towards Rias's group who were mourning for their dead comrade. A huge beam was launched towards the group from Shalba's palm. 

Rias's peerage didn't even bother to look up as they were drowned in sorrow. A beam slowly made its way towards Rias's group. "That would be enough! Bakudou #81, Danku" A feminine voice said as a translucent barrier appeared in front of the group of mourning Devils. 

The beam smashed against the barrier. The whole area shook due to the collision but the barrier didn't budge. Shalba Beelzebub was slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of the barrier but he simply scoffed since he had Ophis's Snake. 

A few seconds later, the beam finally dispersed and the barrier slowly shattered like glass and all of their eyes landed on a woman dressed in pitch-black black shihakusho and haori. The woman had a Katana hanging behind her back. The woman was slowly undoing her braids while in her other hand she was holding a talisman. 

"I can't have any of you running away" the woman said in a kind tone and the talisman disappeared from the woman's hand creating a green shockwave. Shalba Beelzebub, Creuserey Asmodeus, Katerea Leviathan, and Kokabiel didn't consider the woman to be a threat so they decided to humour the woman for a couple of minutes. 

The woman finally finished undoing her braid and her hair started to flow freely. The woman's whole visage started to transform as the woman's gentle vibes disappeared and the woman started to release a huge amount of bloodlust. With a swift motion, the woman pulled out her Katana and traced it with her finger. 

"Let's die, just a little?" Unohana questioned with a cruel smile on her face and her eyes were completely gloomy and menacing. "Bankai, Minazuki"...
