"Brother was looking over there? Can you go and see what's there? I can feel something weird coming from that direction."
"Pik pik!"
Using one of its wings to form a salute, the little bat flew out the window and sped towards the source of the energy.
Behind her, her master peeked her head out the window and waved excitedly.
"Thanks, Akane-chan!"

Aurelia did not expect much when she teleported into a lavish room after following the magic link. It was supposed to be a simple task. Appear, assassinate, and leave. A very simple procedure. In and out.
Unfortunately, things never quite went to plan.
Shuu!
Appearing in a golden light, Aurelia knew she could expect a noble. However, her target was a very complicated one. It was one thing if it was one noble from some random clan. In general, most of them wouldn't be able to kick up too much of a fuss if one of their children were killed. Even if it was a noble from one of the pillar clans, she wouldn't have hesitated.
But, it was an entirely different story if the noble in question was directly related to one of the Satans, especially one of the two Super Devils. Rias Gremory, current heiress of the Gremory Clan and most importantly, the beloved younger sister of Sirzechs Lucifer.
That last connection was the most troublesome one. It was well-known throughout the supernatural world just how much Sirzechs loved his little sister. The love he held for her was beyond normal. It was even possible that he loved his sister much more than their parents did.
The only reason why Rias had never suffered any kidnapping or assassination attempts is not because her brother is just strong. It's mostly because he would NEVER stop hunting down anyone who caused harm to his sister. NEVER.
[This is troublesome.]
As she viewed time in slow motion, the silverette was scrapped for choices. Having appeared directly in front of the Gremory heiress, her sword was already by her side, her blade poised for a quick decapitation.
The little heiress hadn't seemed to have noticed anything. Her eyes were still focused on her doll, her senses oblivious to the dangerous figure in front of her. Even her protectors who were hidden on the ceiling hadn't reacted.
Aurelia could sense their presence as soon as she entered. Their figures were obscured by some elementary invisibility magic, atleast elementary to her eyes. They were still unaware of her entry, a proof of her speed.
They were only around Ultimate class, a massive surprise given how even she wasn't aware of the Gremory's capability to secretly nurture such powerful devils.
But, she wasn't focused on them. Rather, her gaze remained on the Gremory heiress. As it stood, she could easily crush the familiar in her palm, decapitate the heiress, and leave without the guards even knowing she was there.
Even if Sirzechs would relentlessly pursue even the smallest clues to his sister's murder, she was confident she could remove any possible evidence of any external involvement and poison the little girl to make it seem like an inside job.
Yet, from how the heiress seemed to be playing with her doll on the carpet, it was rather clear that she didn't know anything nor used sight-sharing with her familiar. She was just so innocent, so oblivious that her life could end at that very moment.
Aurelia could squeeze the familiar in her hand to death, incinerate its remains, kill the heiress, and leave without anyone knowing any better.
But she couldn't do it. She couldn't bring herself to kill such an innocent child, especially one who most likely didn't know anything. Her conscience didn't allow her to kill, but her paranoia didn't allow her to simply leave like this.
Betting on chances wasn't something she entertained, especially in this current situation.
[I will take her first.]
It was a rash decision, but she would secretly return the heiress once she covertly erased any memories along with her familiar's.
With her sword vanishing from her hand, she grabbed Rias by the shoulder and teleported away.
Shuu!

Back at the scene of the battlefield, Igor and Azazel were under a translucent dome erected by the still-present clones of Aurelia. To any observer watching from the outside, they would be pulled into an illusion that would let them see randomised images of an intense fight between Igor and Azazel.
Inside the barrier however, things were quie-
"Grrrrrr!"
Almost quiet. Azazel was hovering in the air with all twelve wings out. His eyes were still glazed over in darkness, his grey pupils trained on Igor's still form.
The redhead was standing absolutely still on all fours. It would've been peacefull were it not for his extremely violent crimson-black aura that flared like a massive bonfire.
SU SU SU SU SU SU SU SU SU SU SU SU SU
"..."
Azazel was faced with another problematic situation.
[He's stepping beyond what my current strength can handle.]
Indeed, Igor had not made any moves to attack him. But, the landscape was chaotic. Craters as wide as apartment buildings and ravines as deep as the eye could see had been created due to his violent outbursts.
The only fortunate factor was that his outbursts had stopped. For quite some time, he had stood there on all fours without moving. His aura, a varying mesh of red and black remained ever violent. Like a blazing flame, it fluctuated sporadically, the lashing tendrils of crimson-black destroying everything it touched.
As Azazel felt Igor's power level continue to rise, he was concerned if he should immediately attack the redhead or place his hope on the boy prevailing. For anyone with a trained eye, it was plainly obvious that the way the ratio of his aura constantly changed from red to black, he was fighting an internal battle.
Azazel could only hope that he won. Because if he didn't, then he would truly have no choice but to kill him. It irked him to not be able to do anything. Remaining idle was not something he particularly took pride in.
But in such a volatile situation, his only other choice would be to kill the redhead. A simple task, yet one that would come with more than its fair share of consequences, both political and physical.
[Win, kid. Win so that I won't have to deal with assassination attempts from your sister.]

Shortly after Igor fell unconscious
.
The blonde was in a small room with simple furniture that was covered in lavish decorations. There was only one window that was covered in red curtains, the gentle sunshine just barely peering through them. On a massive bed, Igor lay there asleep with the company of three women who were…pleasuring him.
All three of them had long hair of various colours, their bodies different yet endowed, and their temperaments similarly seductive, yet unique. The one similar aspect they shared between them, were the very transparent dress each of them wore as their only attire.
And the final similarity they shared, was their goal in pleasuring the naked blonde before them.
"Mmm~ Slurp"
"Master~."
"Shush. He's waking up."
Scrunching his eyebrows, Igor was devoured by a blissful feeling. He could feel warm caresses running over his body, the soft hands of several women gently feeling his muscles. Their melodious voices felt like honey to his ears, their soft giggles enveloping him in a feeling of heaven.
The most intense feeling he felt however, came from his groin. His shaft was enveloped by something warm…
"?!"
… a feeling that made him tense when he felt a suction force. It was also this feeling that made him realise this was not a dream. Opening his eyes, Igor was subjected to the sight of three very, very…beautiful women.
However, the remote possibility that he might've enjoyed these women's ministrations were utterly destroyed by the fact that these women were very familiar. These women were Aurelia, Shuri, and a much more mature version of Asia.
Aurelia, his dearest sister, was looking at him with such a seductive gaze that any man would find themselves enthralled by the sight of her beautiful blue eyes. Her lovely snow white hair fell along her cheeks, the strands tickling his torso. But that ticklish feeling paled to the feeling of her breasts on his chest.
Then, it was Shuri, the woman he affectionately referred to as "aunt", although he viewed her more like his mother. However, that same woman was now savouring his shaft like candy. The half-lidded gaze she gave him as she swallowed his shaft whole would make a man's heart threaten to stop.
And then there was Asia, the one who he was most focused on. She laid next to him, her hands gently running along his cheek. Her body was pressed against his, her face so close to his that he could smell her scent…her very abnormal scent.
However, a larger issue took his focus. Far from looking at her body, his eyes remained on her face. He was completely filled with shock, the sight before him rendering him numb from all feeling.
[M-Mother?!]
Seeing the face of a much older Asia, she looked much too similar to his real mother. The resemblance was just too uncanny. The only difference was that his mother had brown eyes while this woman's eyes were emerald. Yet with his addled mind, he couldn't see the difference.
To see the visage of his mother be degraded to that of a whore angered him.
"GET OFF!"
GRUUU!
Exploding in power, a white aura covered the blonde while all three women were thrown against the wall. Like the illusions they were, they dissipated along with the room. With his power exploding, Igor was left in a white space of nothingness.
This change in scenery didn't faze him. Rather, he was angry.
"Bloody hell! My mother?! My mother of all people?!?! You sick motherfucker!!!!!"
There was no restraining his vocabulary. He was so enraged that the veins on his forehead were bulging.
"Damnit! I'll kill that damn kid if it's the last thing I do!"
Placing his forehead, a surge of killing intent emanated from him as he vanished.
Tswii!

.
In a beautiful expanse of never-ending lush plains, only two figures were present. Under the gentle rays of the sun, Igor's peacefully resting expression was illuminated, his head resting on Triny's little lap.
His head was a bit too big for her thighs, but she made it work. Her hands gently trailed over his face, the black miasma already creeping up his chin. There was genuine care in her gaze as her thumbs gently touched the corners of his mouth.
"So much time has passed…so many years, and you're the only one who was able to talk with me."
Her face warmed with a smile as she tenderly gazed at his face with affection.
"I won't hurt you. I promise. Once this is over, we'll be together forever. And finally…I won't be alone anymore."
The miasma extended further, the tendrils crawling up to his cheeks.
"I didn't want to make you sleep, but I also didn't want you to leave. I hope…"
She placed her forehead upon his, her hair draping over and mixing with his own.
"...I hope that you will forgive me in the fu…ture?"
It was gradual at first, but the advancement of the tendrils had stopped. Just as they breached his jawline, they stopped advancing. Then slowly, they started retracting as Igor's power gradually fluctuated.
Triny was caught off guard since she never expected something to happen, and especially…
Glare!
…for the blonde to open his eyes. Upon meeting her gaze, his expression immediately revealed his immense anger.
"You!"
Lashing out with his hand, he grabbed the girl by the throat and stood up while the little girl was too shocked to react.
In one fluid movement, Igor raised his hand and threw her into the ground with as much force as he could put into his arm.
BANG!
Immediately as she rebounded from landing on her back, the blonde gave her a soccer kick to the ribs.
BOOOM!…SUUUUUuuuuu!
As he sent her flying, he flickered in and out of existence before he vanished.
Tswii!
In a short moment, he appeared in her flight path and gave her a powerful kick on her chest.
Gu! SUUuuuu…BOOOM!
Watching her crash into the ground below, the blonde didn't dawdle. Raising his hands above his head, he began concentrating some of his energy. Most of his power had been suppressed by the miasma, but the energy he had would be enough for this one attack.
Vwomp!
In barely an instant, a massive golden dome the size of an apartment building formed above his. With his results of training in Spirit Control showing themselves, not only was this globe of ki extremely big, it was also very powerful.
Just the amount of energy contained within it easily dwarfed the sphere he made when he was still a high class scrub that fought Baraquiel all those years ago.
The power in this sphere, was more than enough to destroy an entire planet, and he would use it to destroy this entity that dared to try and control his body.
"[FINAL SUN!]"
VUUUUuuuuu

A lot of things happened in this chapter. Rias kept her life, Igor experienced pre-nut clarity, and Triny/Trihexa got a mouthful of golden ki. To think all of this happened because of a simple visit to the Underworld.
Either way, things seem to be reaching a conclusion soon.

Until the next chapter.
