on the outskirts of Kuoh town.
It was finally time for Kokabiel to make his appearance. He waited long enough and couldn't wait any longer.
Now that all the things he had prepared for were in place, even though there were some mistakes along the way, he was confident that his plan would still succeed.
He looked at the destroyed hideout that should be the place for gathering the low-class fallen angels.
He couldn't help but feel extremely angry. His face was twisted with rage as he clenched his fists.
"Such incompotent subordinates, they either died or abandoned my order. I will kill those deserters later."
Kokabiel was angry that his subordinate was so incompotent that they were wiped out or ran away.
As Kokabiel stepped forward, his eyes burned with fury. He swore that he would kill the Shinigami that almost foiled his plan.
He knew that it was the Shinigami that destroyed his subordinates' hideout.
Beside him. The three-headed dog looked at him with disdain. Cerberus must think that he was also incompetent.
Kokabiel's anger intensified as he observed the disdainful gaze of Cerberus. But he didn't do anything, as he knew that he couldn't beat him without causing serious damage to himself.
'Just wait. When my plan succeeds, you and your master will bow before me.'
Kokabiel had planned something that even Cerberus and his master didn't know. How could someone like him be inferior to someone else?
Kokabiel's confidence grew as he thought about his secret plan. He believed that his intellect and cleverness would ultimately prove him superior to both Cerberus and his master.
…
Ichigo could feel that a very powerful fallen angel had come inside the Kido Formation that he had set up with Yasaka.
He didn't do anything to the formation yet, as he wanted to observe him.
Rias and Sona, along with Koneko, teleported to where he was. They also got notified by the system that Kokabiel had finally made his move.
"Ichigo, he is here."
Rias spoke as she looked at him. She wanted to know what they should do next.
"Don't worry, Rias. When he came, the town had already been swapped for the dummy one. The damage he would cause is minuscule. We just need to focus on eliminating him and his army as fast as we can."
Ichigo and everyone afterwards felt that he called for his army to enter the town. They started rampaging. killing every mortal (Gigai) that they saw.
With this, they confirmed that they broke the law that Shinigami had set in place to protect the human world.
This was enough to make Shinigami move and declare war against those who broke the balance of the human world.
"I will go and confront them. Even though this town is a fake one, you put so much effort into making it. I can't just let them do whatever they please."
Rias spoke with seriousness. She witnessed how cruel they could be. She really wanted to erase them with her power of destruction.
Ichigo thought about it a little bit. He could feel that Soifon had also begun to make her move. She brought Onmitsukido and Shinigami, who were under her, to where Kokabiel was.
With her there, Rias should be safe. He knew that Rias was pretty strong, but she lacked experience. One wrong move, and she would suffer greatly.
Ichigo couldn't just keep her in the safe zone forever. She needed to face a strong opponent to become stronger.
"You can go. But remember to be careful."
Ichigo warned her. Everything could happen the moment she became careless.
Rias nodded as she looked at Sona and Koneko.
"You both stayed here and listened to Ichigo. I will go and deal with them first."
Rias then teleported away, leaving the two of them behind.
They looked at each other before they gazed at Ichigo.
"So what should we do, Ichigo-nii?"
Koneko asked him. She knew that she shouldn't make her move by herself. Sona also thought the same as Koneko. They were weaker than Rias, so going to fight with the strong enemies head-on was a stupid thing to do.
"Just take care of any fallen angels that pass through Soifon and Rias and leave everything to me."
Ichigo thought that it was Kokabiel who was the strongest. Who would have thought that there was a stronger one here?
And his or her target was him.
"Sona, Koneko. Go to this place. I will follow after you later."
Ichigo instructed them. He felt that the strong enemy would come to him in a minute, so he had to send them away first.
He didn't want to hurt their feeling that they were too weak to be any help for him right now.
Sona and Koneko, who didn't know that a very strong enemy was coming for Ichigo, took his instruction seriously and then went to do what he told them to.
When they left, Ichigo then looked at his own feet. To be precise, his own shadow
"You can come out now. I can feel you from miles away."
After that, Ichigo had to dodge a giant scype that came out of his shadow. Then a ghostly figure emerged, shrouded in darkness.
It had a skull with a blue flame wearing a tatter robe. The power of death radiated from its very being.
"A Grim Reaper?"
Ichigo looked at it with interest.
The figure slowly approached Ichigo, its blue flame flickering ominously. Ichigo could sense the immense power radiating from him.
He was a hidden card that Hades sent to help Cerberus if something wrong happened. But who would have thought that Ichigo would be able to find him first?
