--- Chapter 104 ---
Huo Yuhao sat on the roof and ate Heart-Calming Candy while watching the attack inside the Kuoh Academy. He instructed Gabriel and Grayfia to hide their presence first because he wanted to know the reason behind Kokabiel's attack.
"VALPER GALILEI!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!" A furious shout echoed in the field.
Huo Yuhao looked down. He saw a rather handsome young man with short blond hair, blue eyes, and a mole underneath his left eye.
This guy wore the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform, minus the blazer and rips all over the shirt. He has a sword in his hand, shining with ebony black light.
[Name: Yuuto Kiba]
[Age: 17]
[Race: Modified Human, Reincarnated Devil]
[Level: Middle-Class Devil]
[Battle Power: Level 45/Spirit Ancestor]
[Equipment: Sword Birth]
[Description: A young man driven by revenge]
"DIE!" Yuuto Kiba roared and jumped toward Valper Galilei.
Valper Galilei has the appearance of a short, bespectacled elderly with gray hair, a mustache, and black eyes, who wore a priest outfit. Even though Yuuto attacked him, Valper still had a calm expression.
CLANK!
A young man with short white hair and red eyes suddenly stopped Yuuto with a grotesque-looking sword. He was dressed in clerical clothing and often had a disturbing smile on his face. And this young man's name is Freed Sellzen.
"Freed, show the failure product the power of Excalibur," Valper said indifferently.
"HAHAHA~!" Freed grinned and waved the fused Excalibur from three Excalibur pieces. "LET'S SEE WHOSE SWORD IS MORE POWERFUL!"
"MINE IS LONGER AND BIGGER!"
"AND MUCH MORE HOLY!"
"Holy shit." Huo Yuhao commented upon seeing this guy.
Even the most famous archangel of heaven was speechless when seeing Freed. Gabriel couldn't help but cover her mouth in disbelief because all the priests or exorcists she knew were always soft-spoken and polite despite their appearances.
Of course, there are some exceptions, but their hearts are still in a good place. Still, Freed is different because he has more sin than faith in Gabriel's eyes.
Gabriel understands not everyone is sinless because only a newborn baby will have such purity. As individuals grow up, they would pile up life lessons and unique experiences, learning bad and good things along the way.
Freed is different because he is a psychopath and a battle maniac.
He preferred violence over logic, spoke vulgarly, and was insane. He killed monsters and Devils just for the sake of his pleasure and also had no qualms about murdering humans.
"Disgusting..." Gabriel felt pity for Freed. Pity such a thing could live in this world.
Huo Yuhao patted Gabriel's shoulder and said reassuringly, "I know you're kind to others, Gabriel. Unfortunately, not everyone deserves a second chance."
"There is always that one person who is beyond fix."
Gabriel nodded and smiled, "I'll keep that in mind, Father."
Grayfia cleaned the rooftop with her handkerchief "thoroughly." and sat beside Huo Yuhao, observing Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri, and Lucia Halphas's peerages.
They are famous in the underworld for their achievement because of reaching High-Class Devil status through the new devil development program.
After the Evil Pieces' system started a few hundred years ago, the devil clan in the underworld initiated training their heiress intensely to match their status. They had to reach High-Class Devil in six years and prove their strengths with a rating match against the former generation.
"Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess, Not bad for the sister of Lucifer." Grayfia looked at Rias, who fought against the horde of Cerberus with her power of destruction. "They are growing steadily."
BOOM!
Rias Gremory summoned several red magic circles in the air and bombarded the Cerberus Kokabiel summoned with her power of destruction.
"Issei, dodge!" She yelled at a young man, who became her peerage member last week.
"BOOST!"
"BOOST!"
"GIVE ME MY OPPAI~!!" A brown-haired young man screamed and punched the incoming Cerberus in the face, launching the beast a few meters away.
"..." Rias Gremory.
Huo Yuhao facepalmed because he got second-hand embarrassment from this guy. He knew Issei Hyoudou was a pervert and his goal was to become Harem King but to shout breast to strengthen yourself is cringe as fuck.
"Shishou will obliterate this guy without any mercy." He sighed while looking at the red gauntlet in Issei's left hand.
[Name: Issei Hyoudou]
[Age: 17]
[Race: Reincarnated Devil]
[Level: Mid-Class Devil(Growing)]
[Battle Power: Level 39/Spirit Elder(Growing)]
[Equipment: Boosted Gear]
[Description: Self-dreamed Harem King, Oppai is life]
Issei is a high school student of average height with short spiky brown hair, two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes. He wore a Kuoh Academy boys' outfit with an unbuttoned blazer and a red t-shirt.
"That's the Boosted Gear." Gabriel recognized the Sacred Gears wielded immediately. She pondered how a perverted person wielded a power that could kill a god but believed this young man was somewhat better than Freed Sellzen.
'What's this weird sensation? My Oppai's sense is tingling!' Issei thought while boosting his strength again. He looked around and faced another Cerberus, becoming pale because the beast was scarier than before.
"Fuck!"
"Ara~! Do you need help?" A flash of lightning struck the Cerberus, burning the beast to a crisp.
Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the source of this playful voice, seeing a young woman with long black hair styled in a ponytail and a body that could rival Rias in buxomness.
[Name: Akeno Himejima]
[Age: 18]
[Race: Half-Blooded Fallen Angel, Reincarnated Devil]
[Level: Middle-Class Devil]
[Battle Power: Level 61/Spirit Emperor]
[Description: A young woman with a father issue]
Akeno is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair, and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a long ponytail, reaching down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.
Like most of the girls at Kuoh Academy, she wears the customary Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, along with black calf-length socks.
"Can you feel it too, Gabriel?" Huo Yuhao questioned the angel beside him with a smile. "Doesn't that young woman feel familiar to you?"
"Yes, but I can't get my hand on it," Gabriel replied with puzzlement because she felt the Fallen Angel's presence from Akeno's body.
"Well, the main event is about to get started." Huo Yuhao sensed several presences surrounding the barrier.
Qianye Ying'er suddenly contacted Huo Yuhao with Giana's connection and said, "Yuhao, hold the guy named Valper. I need him for the court in the Vatican."
"We can't let that guy die there because Justice should get served correctly. We have one of his victims here."
"Victim?" Huo Yuhao frowned because he knew Yuuto Kiba was the only survivor of the Holy Sword Project. On the side, Gabriel frowned because how could she have never heard about this?
He glanced at the shady-looking elderly and added, "Very well, bring the Vatican's force to Kuoh Academy. I'll hold Valper with Bronzy."
"Hmm??" Grayfia and Gabriel peeked into Huo Yuhao's shadow, realizing it was expanding into a draconic creature.
"Go." Huo Yuhao instructed his shadow general to hide inside Valper Galilei's shadow. No one noticed a massive force moving in the darkness besides three people that watched everything from the rooftop.
Grayfia could feel an eerie sensation from the shadow and asked, "Yuhao-sama... That shadow is?"
"It's my subordinate." He replied while counting down in his head.
"ARRRGGGHHHH!"
Yuuto's sword was shattered by Freed's united Excalibur, causing Rias and his fellow peerage members to become worried. They couldn't help him because their hands were full of Cerberus.
"KIBA!" Issei shouted in worry.
Koneko's nose twitched slightly because a familiar intoxicated scent invaded her nostrils. She looked around and spotted a young man with dazzling blue hair sitting on the roof of the main building. Her Nekoshou instinct soared through her head immediately.
'Y-Yuhao... Nii-sama!' She thought while recalling the saintess's teaching two days ago.
The young Nekoshou panicked because there must be a reason why Huo Yuhao went to this place himself. 'Don't tell me he is gonna save us from Kokabiel?' Her imagination started to become wild.
Valper cleaned his glasses and said, "Haa... As expected of failed products. You could create a demonic sword, so what? They are meaningless before the holy sword Excalibur."
He picked a bizarre diamond-shaped crystal with a dark shade of blue and indigo on its outside. And Yuuto's eyes widened when he saw this crystal, causing him to become enraged once again.
"AAAAHHHH!" Yuuto created another sword and aimlessly swung his sword at Valper.
CLANK! BOOM!
COUGH!
Kokabiel flicked his finger and struck Yuuto's chest with a lance made of a light element. He sent the young reincarnated devil flying to the glasshouse.
"Hmph, Trash." He commented indifferently.
Valper watched Yuuto and threw the diamond-shaped crystal onto the ground like garbage. "Freed, finish him." He said, making the psychopath laugh in expectation.
"DIE, YOU FILTHY DEVIL!" Freed swung his sword.
BAM!
"Excalibur? This scrap is not even good enough to be a skewer."
A youthful voice full of boredom echoed in the field, and they saw a young man with dashing blue hair and black-framed glasses stopping Excalibur with his bare hand.
"HUH???"
"Who are you?" Kokabiel looked at the young man with hostility.
Huo Yuhao smirked and answered, "Clark Kent."
