"Gyagyagyagya! Just as expected of the Red Dragon Emperor—you know who my boss is."
"I know your identity too."
Freed fell silent, glaring at Issei.
"Don't. You're not his opponent."
A calm voice echoed as a fallen angel with ten wings appeared, the atmosphere around Kuoh Academy shifting instantly.
Issei looked up at the fallen angel.
"So you're the one called Kokabiel?"
"That's right. I am Kokabiel. Nice to meet you, Red Dragon Emperor."
Kokabiel grinned arrogantly, without the slightest hint of fear.
His attitude showed clearly that he saw himself as superior to everyone present.
'Partner, I don't like this guy. Let's erase him from the face of the earth!'
Ddraig sounded extremely irritated.
'Be patient. Don't just kill a leader-class fallen angel out of nowhere. Things could get ugly if a three-faction war starts because of me.'
'That's true… but this fallen angel really makes my blood boil!'
'You're not alone. I feel the same way.'
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of me, Red Dragon Emperor?"
Issei smirked.
"A dragon afraid of a crow? That's a good joke."
Kokabiel's expression changed drastically.
"You're very bold, Red Dragon Emperor."
Wosh!
Boom!
Kokabiel fired another spear of light, but this time Issei destroyed it directly with his Balance Breaker mode.
"Oh? A perfect Balance Breaker. So the rumors were true."
Even after witnessing the scene before him, Kokabiel still felt superior in front of Balance Breaker Issei.
Because Issei hadn't boosted his power using the Boosted Gear yet, he indeed appeared weak.
"Kokabiel, Azazel asked me to capture you."
"What did you say?! You know Azazel?!"
Issei grinned, satisfied by Kokabiel's nervous reaction.
"I met him some time ago and chatted a bit about you."
Behind Issei, Sona looked at Rias.
Rias shrugged and then glanced at Asia.
Asia shook her head, also not understanding Issei's intention.
"Hmph! You think you can defeat me with that?"
"Of course. After all, my Boosted Gear is a Longinus—one that can even kill a god."
Boost! Boost! Boost!
Kokabiel's face went pale. He no longer dared to underestimate Issei.
"You're strong. I'll have to take you seriously."
Kokabiel landed on the ground, staring at Issei with sharp, hateful eyes.
"Oh, right. Before we begin, I have a gift for you."
Kokabiel waved his hand, and two beautiful half-naked women appeared from thin air. They were Irina and Xenovia.
Issei's eyes widened. His mind went blank when he saw Irina's body covered in countless slash wounds.
"Damn it! What did you do to Irina?!"
Boost! Boost! Boost!
Issei forcefully took Irina and Xenovia, bringing them close to Asia so they could be healed.
Momo Hanakai took some cloth to cover their bodies.
"Asia, please treat them."
"Yes, Issei-san!"
Asia immediately began healing them. Xenovia recovered faster than Irina, slowly opening her eyes and standing up on unsteady legs.
"Why did you save me too?"
"Probably because of Irina. She'd be sad if you were left behind."
Issei's answer was flat, yet it pierced Xenovia's heart deeply.
"Issei-san, Irina won't wake up, even though her wounds have already been healed."
"Hm?"
"That's normal. Earlier, we heard something we weren't supposed to hear."
"What was it?" Asia looked at Xenovia curiously.
Xenovia hesitated, lowering her head.
"It's fine. Tell the truth," Issei said.
Xenovia clenched her teeth and spoke in a strained voice.
"According to Kokabiel, in the last three-faction war, God died along with the four great Devil Kings."
"!!!"
Everyone was shocked. Asia immediately fainted, just like in the original story.
'So Irina knows now… I wonder what will happen to her. I really hope she doesn't fall.'
'Partner, it's time for you to deal with that crow.'
'I know.'
Issei walked toward Kokabiel.
"Kokabiel is my opponent. No one interfere!"
Even without being told, no one was foolish enough to fight a leader-class fallen angel.
"Kiba! Now's the perfect time to shine! You must show yourself as a proper knight of the Gremory family!"
"Issei-kun, I understand! This time, I'll give it everything I've got!"
Kiba's body began emitting the purest demonic aura. Even though he was a reincarnated devil, he somehow managed to release a pure devil aura.
Issei smiled in satisfaction and turned his gaze toward Kokabiel.
"Kokabiel, let's finish this."
