Chapter 442: The Kuoh Massacre (IV)...

[Kuoh Academy, Kuoh Town] 

Sona and her peerage simply couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Issei's body hit the ground with a massive hole in his chest. There was a close to no chance of the boy's survival since his wound was inflicted by a light weapon. 

A light weapon was the bane of their existence. Even a small scratch could cause a huge amount of pain and a stab wound could very well lead you to your death. Sona wanted to accuse Unohana of carelessness but ultimately she couldn't. 

'Didn't she tell us that she wanted us to learn a lesson?' Sona questioned herself and she finally understood that this was also a lesson. 

It was cruel, but Sona also understood that the lesson was necessary. In a perfect world, something like this would have never happened but they weren't living in a perfect world. They were living in a world filled with enemies and various types of threats. Life was fragile and any of them could lose it in a moment. 

Sona knew that Rias's decision to stop someone like Kokabiel was reckless but she still decided to help her childhood friend without contacting the Underworld. Sona prided herself to be a smart girl but she conceded that she had been simply stupid. The reality was much crueller than she had imagined. 

Sona slowly turned towards her peerage, moments later, she clenched in fists tightly. 'Anyone of them could have been in Issei Hyoudou's place due to my stupidity… it could have been any of us or all of us' Sona concluded internally. This was a hard lesson, a lesson she vowed to remember throughout the rest of her life. 

Sona along with her peerage gasped in horror when they saw Shalba Beelzebub attack Rias and her peerage when they were mourning one of their peerage members. But before the beam could reach Rias's peerage and the Exorcists, Unohana disappeared from the roof. 

"That would be enough! Bakudou #81, Danku" all of them heard Unohana's voice and a translucent barrier appeared in front of Rias's peerage. The beam smashed against the barrier and the whole Academy started to shake but the fragile-looking barrier didn't budge. 

Moments later, the attack finally dispersed and the barrier shattered like it was made of glass. Unohana finally came into view as the dust settled down. Unohana was standing in between Rias's peerage and the attackers. Sona had noticed the talisman Unohana was holding but she had no idea what it did. 

"I can't have any of you running away" Unohana said in a kind tone while undoing her braid and the talisman disappeared from her hand creating a green shockwave. Sona instinctively felt something change around her but she couldn't place her finger on it. 

All of a sudden Sona and her peerage shuddered in fear as they felt the bloodlust oozing out of Yachiru Unohana. 'Om my Satan…' Sona mentally gasped in horror as she was finally able to make the connection between the real-life Yachiru Unohana and the Yachiru Unohana from her sister's story. 

With a swift motion, Unohana pulled out her Katana as she gently traced the blade with her fingers. "Let die, just a little?" They heard Unohana's question. But the kindness and gentleness in her voice were gone… her voice sounded kind of hoarse and cruel. 

"Bankai, Minazuki" Unohana called out and Unohana's bloodlust and power skyrocketed. Sona and her peerage started to shake like leaves in a hurricane. Even the Devils brought by the leaders of the Old Satan Faction were shaking in fear. Most of them saw themselves dying in very gruesome ways. Even Kokabiel and the leader of the Old Satan Faction flinched back in fear. 

Somehow Sona gained back her bearings since the Unohana's bloodlust was directed in their direction but that didn't mean that she wasn't affected by it. Sona slowly turned towards her peerage and found them in similar conditions. All of them were affected by Unohana's bloodlust. 

"Li-Listen, we must help Rias and her peerage get away from that place… they would simply get in the way" Sona said with a small stutter and for a moment, none of her peerage members seemed to react. After a few moments, everyone finally nodded their heads with a look of horror etched on their faces. 

Yachiru Unohana was completely oblivious to these developments as she was busy scanning the insects she was going to butcher. Only four of them seemed to have any sort of strength as everyone else was completely insignificant in front of her eyes. Thick viscous reddish-black liquid started to drip down her Zanpakutou. Her eyes finally landed on the Fallen with the ten wings. 

Before anyone could react, Unohana appeared in front of the said man with her Zanpakutou raised over the man's head. Kokabiel's eyes grew wide in shock and surprise as he couldn't even follow the woman's speed. Instinctively, he created a light sword in his hand to parry the woman's attack as he also leaned back to make some distance. 

Unohana wasn't even bothered with the light blade as her Zanpakutou cut right through the light blade like it was made of butter much to the horror of Kokabiel. Kokabiel slowly watched in disbelief and horror as the blade slowly landed on his head. Before Kokabiel could even make a sound, Unohana's Zanpakutou cut him apart from the middle. 

Unohana stood silently, watching as Kokabiel's body was slowly separated from the middle with a look of disinterest in her eyes. A look of disbelief and horror was still etched on his face. This scene didn't last for long though as Kokabiel's body started to melt away as it came in contact with the acid for Unohana's Bankai. 

"You…!!" Katerea Leviathan screamed as she created several Magic Circles around her and various types of attacks were launched towards Unohana. From the corner of her eyes, Unohana watched the approaching attacks with a look of disinterest in her eyes. 

"El  Escudo" Unohana muttered and a greenish translucent shield appeared beside her stopping all the attacks. Unohana simply looked towards the insignificant Devils in front of her and swung her Zanpakutou, horizontally. The acid of her Bankai landed on a group of unfortunate Devils and they melted away screaming at the top of their lungs. 

This scared the Devils even more but Unohana didn't care about any of that as she attacked the bespectacled busty woman who had dared to attack her previously. Unohana had no idea who the woman was but she was pretty sure that the woman was probably one of the leaders of the insignificant army. 

Unohana lunged towards the woman from her initial spot. The woman jumped back in horror but she created some sort of barrier in front of her to protect her. Unohana's Zanpakutou cut through the barrier like it was made of wet paper bags. The woman gasped in horror. 

"Impossible!! I used the Snake's power!" Katerea Leviathan exclaimed loudly but she didn't get much time to ponder as Unohana's acid landed on the right side of her body. Katerea Leviathan shrieked like a pig as her right side started to melt off. 

"I refuse to die!!" Katerea shrieked with a psychotic look on her face and activated the full power of Ophis's Snake. Purple snakes started to appear on her body as the snakes slowly coiled around her body. Katerea's right side finally stopped melting off as she started to heal. 

"Ho…?" Unohana raised her brows with a slight interest in her eyes but all of a sudden she sidestepped as a purple Magical beam passed by her head. Unohana turned around her head and her eyes landed on a cheap-looking villain from a Chinese novel. 

Unohana smirked and pointed her finger towards the man. "Hado #4, Byakurai" a lightning bolt erupted from Unohana's finger and pierced through the man's gut. Creuserey Asmodeus screamed loudly as blood gushed out of his wound. 

"You bitch!!" Shalba Beelzebub exclaimed and attacked Unohana using Ophis's Snake. A cruel smile appeared on Unohana's face. She pointed her palm towards Creuserey Asmodeus. 

"Bakudo #4, Hainawa" Unohana said with a cruel grin as an ethereal golden rope originating from her hand started to wrap around Creuserey Asmodeus. Unohana yanked the rope with quite a bit of her power and the man was flung in the path of the Shalba's attack. 

"Damn you!!" Creuserey Asmodeus exclaimed loudly but it was already too late. Shalba's attacks landed on Creuserey Asmodeus creating a huge explosion. Shalba got a sour look on his face as he clenched his fists tightly in anger. 

"Coward!!" Shalba exclaimed but only a burst of cruel laughter was heard from the smoke cloud. Moments later, the smoke finally cleared and Creuserey Asmodeus could still be seen standing on his feet, but barely. Creuserey Asmodeus was completely bloody and he was also missing a lot of chunks from his body. 

Creuserey activated Ophis's Snake as he slowly started to heal just like Katerea Leviathan. Shalba internally smiled as his fellow leader has survived but before either of them could say anything, a blade pierced through Creuserey Asmodeus's throat.

Creuserey started to choke on his own blood and the viscous reddish-black liquid secreting from the blade started to melt the man into a gooey mess. 

"Heal from that" Unohana said in a monotone and much to Shalba's horror, Creuserey's body collapsed into a meaty puddle and moments later, his head also dropped into the meaty puddle and started to melt. 

"Nooo!!!" Katerea Leviathan exclaimed loudly. She was almost healed right now. 

"You are going to pay for that" Shalba said while gritting his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger. "Everyone, attack her!!!" Shalba ordered loudly and for a few moments, the insignificant Devils they had brought along with them simply kept looking at each other. Until finally a few brave ones initiated attacks. 

One by one everyone joined in and thousands of attacks started to approach Unohana. Any lesser being would have peed their pants in this situation but Unohana simply looked towards the approaching attacks with disinterest in her eyes...
