"Hello Vali, it's been a few weeks since we last met," I said while looking towards Vali and Albion who appeared behind him.
"Lucifer! You finally showed up! Ever since you defeated me I've been wanting a rematch with you, but I couldn't find you at all," Vali spoke with excitement when he saw me appear.
[Alright, calm down for a second Vali...] Albion's wings on Vali's back started speaking.
"Yes, as Albion said, calm down first... if you want a rematch, I have no problem doing it, but not now," I said to him while shaking my head.
Then I looked around Vali and could see Kuroka and the others looking confused and looking at my direction and then at Vali.
"Hey Vali... who are you talking to?" Bikou asked Vali while scratching his head.
"Yeah... you and Albion are only talking to that portal even though no one has come out of it..." Kuroka also told him.
"What?" [What?]
Now Vali and Albion are confused because they can see me in front of them but the others can't.
"Oh, sorry Vali right now only you and Albion can see me just wait a moment let me deactivate this ability," I then took off the gloves that I was using.
After that I could see them all staring at me in surprise. "What the!? When did this person show up??" Bikou felt startled when he suddenly saw me appear in front of him.
"What kind of magic tools is that!? I've never seen a magical device as effective as that one," Le Fay muttered when she saw the gauntlet I had taken off, she could sense something from my gauntlet but didn't quite understand it because it is a Foreign Magic.
Meanwhile Kuroka just stared at me with wide eyes. "Wow, you're really handsome I've never seen someone like you before Nyaa~" Kuroka said to me teasingly.
Oh right I forgot about this side of Kuroka... if I'm remember Kuroka really wants kittens from strong people right? I hope she not gonna force me like she did with Vali once she finds out my strength...
"Are y'all Vali's friends? In that case Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Rei," I introduced myself to everyone here.
"For some reason I introduced myself as Lucifer before but my real name is Rei," I wasn't going to tell them that I used Lucifer name because I wanted to see their surprised expressions.
"Ahhh, so you're the one who defeated Vali before? Kekekek in that case My name is Bikou. If you're as strong as Vali says, how about we fight after you're done with Vali?" Bikou introduced himself while walking towards me and extending his hand to shake my hand.
Seeing that I immediately accepted his handshake without hesitation while smiling. "Sure no problem, I'll accept your challenge anytime if I have the time."
Meanwhile Kuroka and Le Fay who saw him shaking hands with Bikou felt assured that Rei at least is not a "bad" person or someone who wanted to attack them. Besides if he is really the person Vali described, everyone here would all be very easy to kill by him since he could defeat Vali so easily.
Kuroka finally decided to approach him as well and at least introduce her name. "Hello Nyaa~, My name is Kuroka," she said with a smile while extending her hand towards him.
Le Fay after seeing this decided to follow Kuroka and introduce herself to him as well. Then after everyone introduced themselves Vali decided to speak.
"So, what are you doing here? You know that this place is the headquarters of the terrorist organization Khaos Brigade right?" Vali asked me.
"You don't need to worry about that because I have stopped time, aside from the people in this room," I answered Vali while shrugging.
"What?" Kuroka looked confused by what I said, then she started running towards the window to look outside.
"Hey, look outside!" Kuroka said to her other friends.
They all then approached Kuroka and looked out the window. "Everything is frozen in place..." Vali muttered as he saw everything outside stopped.
[Such an interesting ability... I didn't expect to see someone who could stop time at will] Albion spoke.
"Hmm, that's not too important now. What matters is do you know where Cao Cao is?" I asked them as they were looking out the window.
"Cao Cao? From the Hero Faction? What do you want from him?" Vali said while turning towards me.
They all also started to look at me, curious about what I wanted from the leader of the Hero Faction.
"Well, in short, I see the future and see that they betray and want to kill someone I know, so I decided to kill them when I meet them, and now is the time for it," I answered Vali simply.
They were all silent again when listening to my reason, particularly the part where I could see the future.
"Hahaha you are truly interesting Rei. I can't wait to fight you again," Vali suddenly laughed.
"You can see the future?? What about my future?? How many kittens will I have Nyaa~" Kuroka quickly moved and suddenly appeared in front of me with her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Haha there's some requirements I need to fulfill if I want to see the future, so I can't just do it anytime," I said while kinda enjoying the view of Kuroka's exposed chest.
Kuroka is wearing a very revealing yukata, and because she is shorter than me I could easily see her cleavage from here... and her being in front of me like this made it even easier for me to enjoy the view...
However, I could see that Kuroka realized that I was staring at her chest, so she smiled teasingly and intentionally let me see it and I could even see her lowering her yukata so i can see more of it...
Seeing that I decided to just ignore her and turn back towards Vali. "So, do you know where Cao Cao is?"
Vali appeared to be thinking for a moment but in the end he just shrugged and answered "Unfortunately, I don't know where Cao Cao is. I have no connection with him whatsoever so I don't really care about what he's doing."
Well damn... it looks like I'll have to use Primal Beast to forcefully find Cao Cao and his companions huh.
"Besides, we're busy looking for someone rather than caring about the Hero Faction," Bikou told me this time.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
"Oh, we're searching for our acquaintance. Have you seen her? She has the appearance of a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips, black eyes, and her ears are somewhat pointed, not like a normal human," Kuroka told me this time.
Huh, that description is really similar to Ophis...
"Are you looking for Ophis?"
"Do you know where Ophis is!?" Kuroka exclaimed towards me, as they had been trying to find Ophis for weeks with no success.
"Yes, I know where she is. To be precise, Ophis has been staying with me for the past few weeks."
"Hahhh so that's why we can never find her..." Vali rubbed his forehead after realizing that Ophis is in my dimension.
Well, sorry about that. I didn't expect to see someone actually searching for Ophis... well more importantly "did you have fun?" I said to Le Fay who is next to me.
"!?" Le Fay was surprised after hearing me ask her something because she had been staring at the Faceless Gauntlet I'm holding.
"Sorry, I'm just curious about that!!" Le Fay immediately said to me as she moved behind Kuroka.
"Yeah, I'm curious too about that. How does that thing manage to make you really invisible that I can't even sense you," Bikou said while pointing towards the Faceless Gauntlet.
"Well, this gauntlet is called Faceless Gauntlet, and it's one of the many weapons I have... wait a moment, that's not really important! If you don't know where Cao Cao is, I will leave to go look for him," I said to them all.
"Wait, what about our fight?" Vali suddenly said to me.
"We can do it later after I finish with Cao Cao, besides I still have a date that I'm postponing because of this issue," I said while shaking my head.
"Well then in that case I'll go with you," Vali casually said to me with a smile.
"Wait what!? Why?"
"What do you mean why? So we can fight after you're done with your business," Vali said to me.
Oh wow, I know he's a battle maniac, but not this much of a hardcore battle maniac... I then turned to Albion on his back.
[Sorry Rei, after Vali becomes like this not even me can't even stop him...] Albion said to me and then disappeared from his back.
"Oh that's true. I'm also curious about your power Nyaa~," Kuroka said to me while licking her lips.
"I'm also curious about your ability so I can see what kind of person managed to beat Vali before," Bikou also said as he nodded.
Then I looked at Le Fay who is behind Kuroka, but she is still staring at the Faceless Gauntlet...
So in the end they all wanted to come with me to kill Cao Cao...
