Chapter 141 - Jeanne's Arrival
"Neither your side nor ours has any clue about Kokabiel's whereabouts. This is the easiest way to find him."
Mahiro nodded. "Also, rather than waiting for the enemy to arrive, I prefer to take the initiative."
"I'd like to do the same if I could... but..." Irina's face was stern. "It's undeniable that we don't actually have any means here to deal with Kokabiel."
Kokabiel, a veteran who survived the Great War, possesses near-Maou-Class strength. Destroying a city would be an easy task for him.
This kind of terrifying power is simply not something the Holy Sword wielders can handle.
"Irina is right," Xenovia nodded.
"Even if you add Rias Gremory and her servants, the chances of winning against Kokabiel are very slim. In fact, we've now shifted our primary objective to destroying the holy swords stolen by Kokabiel."
Earlier, at Kuoh Academy, the two had threatened Rias to ensure that the Devil Faction wouldn't interfere in the Holy Sword incident.
However, now they are already considering their chances of winning against Kokabiel after joining forces with the Devils.
"No, you're wrong about one thing. We are not without means comparable to Kokabiel," Rias looked at Mahiro with an elegant smile.
"Are you going to contact your brother, Sirzechs Lucifer?" Xenovia looked at Rias in surprise.
If Maou Lucifer acts, it would take only minutes to take down Kokabiel.
"No, I have no intention of reporting this matter to my brother," Rias shook her head and said with a proud smile. "Don't you know? My fiancé is the Red Dragon Emperor."
"What! The Red Dragon Emperor?"
"You said he is the Red Dragon Emperor?"
When Rias spoke, Irina and Xenovia both involuntarily stood up from their seats, eyes widened as they looked at Mahiro in disbelief.
"Guests, please be quiet," a passing waiter reminded them. He had a vivid memory of these two big eaters.
"Sorry."
"Sorry."
Irina and Xenovia apologized, a bit embarrassed, and then sat back down.
"Is it strange that I am the Red Dragon Emperor?" After seeing the two sit back down, Mahiro asked with a chuckle.
"No, it's just surprising," Irina's eyes remained on Mahiro, but she didn't see anything particularly special.
"Obviously there's nothing special about him other than a good-looking face, but to think he's the Red Dragon Emperor..." Irina whispered.
"No wonder. I was wondering why you would choose a human as your fiancé," Xenovia took a deep breath.
"I didn't expect the Red Dragon Emperor to be aligned with the Devils."
They had thought it strange before that Rias Gremory would choose an ordinary human as her fiancé.
However, if the fiancé is the Red Dragon Emperor, it makes sense.
"Well, I also feel very fortunate," Rias showed a happy smile. If it weren't for Mahiro, she might have been forced by her family to get engaged to that pesky Riser.
"But... with all due respect, even with a Longinus Sacred Gear, it's very difficult to deal with Kokabiel," Xenovia said.
"Don't worry about that. Mahiro has already unlocked Balance Breaker," Rias said with a smile, pride evident in her voice.
"Balance Breaker..." Irina and Xenovia couldn't help but be shocked.
A Red Dragon Emperor who has unlocked Balance Breaker at such a young age is rare even in history.
"This kind of talent is enough to rank in the top three among Red Dragon Emperors of all time."
"If you have the Balance Breaker, you can indeed fight Kokabiel head-on," Xenovia quickly calmed down.
"Xenovia, in that case, it's feasible," Irina's eyes lit up.
"Yes, we can really try using the aura of the holy swords to draw Kokabiel out..." Xenovia nodded.
"Are you full?" Mahiro asked.
"Can I eat more?" When Mahiro asked, Xenovia blushed, but she still told the truth.
They had been hungry for almost a day and a night. The feeling of hunger was unbearable, and they didn't want to experience it again.
Mahiro burst out laughing, then called the waiter over and ordered some more food.
After leaving the restaurant, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
"Here will do," the four of them arrived at an open area in the suburbs.
Irina and Xenovia took out their holy swords.
"Next, we'll release the aura of the holy swords. Rias Gremory, please step back; this aura may harm you," Xenovia reminded.
"Don't worry. If it's just the aura, there should be no problem," Rias shook her head.
"Up to you," Xenovia didn't insist. Simply releasing the holy aura wasn't a significant threat to a Devil like her.
"Irina, let's get started."
"Okay."
The two lightly touched Excalibur Destruction and Excalibur Mimic together, then injected their power into the blades.
There was a faint sound in the air.
Dazzling rays of light bloomed from the two holy swords.
The holy aura was fully unleashed, spreading out in all directions.
For a time, those connected to the holy swords felt their attention drawn by the fluctuations.
At the border of Kuoh Town, a blonde girl was walking toward the town center.
"I don't know what Cao Cao is planning, sending me to this small town," murmured Jeanne, a member of the Hero Faction.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Jeanne's eyes sharpened as she looked in a certain direction.
"Such a strong holy sword aura—is it someone from the Church, or...?"
