Chapter 60 – The Two Female Exorcists

Chapter 60 – The Two Female Exorcists

The moonlight revealed the identities of the two hooded figures staring at us.

Irina Shidou with her usual smile, was standing next to a girl with short blue hair and a serious expression - Xenovia Quarta.

"Amen, the expected visitors have finally arrived." Irina's voice was a strange mixture of joy and dissipation. Her smile contrasted with the seriousness of the atmosphere.

The place was filled with tension, the silence broken only by the faint breathing of those present. The air smelled of rust and mildew, mixed with the foul odor Koneko had mentioned, which even I could smell now. Our eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, and it was then that I noticed something behind the girls - the corpse of an escaped devil, lying in a pool of dark, viscous blood.

"Exorcists... What are you doing here?" Koneko asked in a serious tone as she noticed a cross necklace hanging from Irina's neck.

Xenovia, next to Irina, remained motionless, but her blue-gray eyes watched us with an intensity that felt like a blade against my neck. On her back was a sword wrapped in ribbons.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Irina exchanged a quick glance with Xenovia before answering. "We took care of the problem because the devils in this city took too long." There was a slight provocation in her tone, but also an almost innocent sincerity.

"Private church business." Xenovia added in an unemotional tone. "We only stayed here after we killed that devil because we knew they'd come sooner or later. We're just here to warn the devils in this town not to interfere with our work."

Before I or the others could answer, a sound ripped through the air above us. I raised my head to see Rias Gremory slowly descending from the ceiling, her demonic wings beating softly. She entered through the broken window on the factory roof. Her presence was imposing, especially with her red hair and eyes.

Rias landed gracefully between us and the church girls. "You have no authority to be in demonic territory."

Xenovia raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. "Rias Gremory, Sirzechs Satan's sister... We're not here to cause you any trouble. We even helped you."

Rias crossed her arms and glared at them. "You know very well that there are protocols to follow. Not long ago, we had to kill one of you."

"Are you talking about Freed Sellzen?" "If so, don't worry. We received information some time ago that he was working with the Fallen Angels, so his death means that there's one less heretic in the world." Xenovia replied.

Rias didn't look convinced. "And why are you here? You should know that the presence of exorcists in demonic territory could be considered a threat to the peace treaty."

"We're here for the Excalibur swords." Irina revealed.

Irina opened her mouth to answer, and she probably would have been innocently sincere, but Xenovia quickly interrupted.

"What if we do?" Xenovia asked. "What are you going to do?"

Kiba clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger. "I will have to take the fragments by force and destroy them."

Xenovia remained serious as she turned towards the exit. "It seems that you, Rias, need to tame your dog better, so that he doesn't act without your permission. If he ends up dead one day, it won't be because of our carelessness."

Realizing the risk of a confrontation, Rias took a step forward and pushed Kiba back.

"Kiba, calm down," she ordered. "Let's let them work for now."

Kiba's eyes went blank for a moment after Rias approached. Then he broke away from her, spread his devil wings and flew out of the abandoned factory.
