Meanwhile, Duy and Shang-Chi finally destroyed the entrance of the temple and it was time to move in.

Shang-Chi was the first one to go inside and what met him was a dark room with wet walls on each side.

It'll be just a normal room if it wasn't for the angels who were stunned and staring at him.

Akeno and the rest also went inside and they were also stunned when they saw the angels.

"I didn't expect we'd meet the angels so soon," Gasper whispered.

Leslie who was by his side nodded in agreement.

"Sorcerers?" Ewald was confused. Although he's expecting that they'll meet the sorcerers someday, he didn't expect it'll be so soon.

"G-Griselda-sama, Is that you?" Leslie asks in shock. Before she was involved in the supernatural, she and her family used to visit a church and they always meet Griselda as a nun of the church.

"You've grown up, Les." Griselda smiled in sadness, she heard about what happened to her and her parents but when she arrived, it was already too late.

So the only thing she could do was to find Leslie since she didn't see her corpse so she knew that she was alive. But alas, she searched for her for a year and she didn't even manage to catch at least a scent of her, it's like she disappeared into nothingness. So seeing her here makes her relieved that she was alive and at the same time, she was glad that she became a sorcerer.

Although she was saddened that she was a sorcerer instead of an exorcist since she too knew her talents in weapons.

"I'm glad that you're okay. I've been searching for you." Griselda smiled at her. She wanted to hug her tight.

Leslie also smiled warmly, she heard that the nun she used to visit was searching for her.

As much as they both wanted to hug each other, right now both of them are on opposite sides and they could only hug each other once the Faction Wars is done.

Right now, they might fight with each other, and as much as they hated that, they must do it for the sake of their sides.

Meanwhile, back in the control room.

"We should let them fight first, once one of them is eliminated, the other side will surely be exhausted and that's where we swooped in and finish them." Sona planted her plans to Rias and Sairaorg who nodded in agreement, both of them thinks that the plan is well-planned.

Although the plan is devious, but who are they? They are devils, it's what they do.

As for Sairaorg, he didn't care about the plan, as long as the Sorcerers won, so he could fight Duy and Shang-Chi.

Back to the Angels and Sorcerers.

Currently, the Sorcerers were casual about being around the Angels while the latter were cautious about them. Although both sides have a mission of protecting the mortal world away from the Supernatural, that doesn't mean that they're allies who trust each other's back.

While Leslie and Griselda were having a reunion, Duy and Shang-Chi were eyeing Vasco Strada, maybe it was because of the aura he was emanating or the body he possessed.

But one thing for sure is that the big guy definitely specializes in close combat.

It was the same for Vasco who was staring Duy and Shang-Chi up and down before nodding in approvement.

From what he observes, Duy and Shang-Chi without doubt someone he cannot underestimate. Just the outlines of their body scream that they'd been training martial arts for years.

If we're gonna compare Duy and Shang-Chi, Duy obviously won in terms of body strength and martial arts techniques, while Shang-Chi has the upper hand in martial arts energies like Ki, Chi, Senjutsu, and Touki.

If they were to fight each other, then Shang-Chi might win with a struggle but if Duy ever learns the forbidden technique that his father has been honing for years, then Duy will dominate their fight. Maybe Shang-Chi could tie with him if he uses the artifact, Ten Rings.

Back to the battlefield.

Akeno's temper was almost slipping because of the starings she was getting and Leslie's painstakingly long reunion.

Shaking her head, she went and grabbed Leslie's shoulder from behind, making her look at her.

Confusion was placed on her face and she asks, "Is something wrong, Akeno-san?" She was very confused, especially seeing Akeno's frowning face.

"Are your reunion done?"

Hearing her question, Leslie finally noticed that it's been an hour since their reunion and because of this, she lost focus on time

With an apologetic face, Leslie apologizes, "I'm very sorry Akeno-san I was just too immersed and I missed Griselda-sama so I lost focus on time."

Akeno sighed, she didn't mean to be harsh on her but this is a battlefield, making friends with the opposite side is just looking for death.

As their leader, it is her job to look after them and to make sure they don't make mistakes such as this.

Leslie noticed that Akeno was just looking after her. So she turns around and looked at Griselda apologetically.

Meanwhile, Griselda understands her and nodded at her. They can continue their reunion after this.

Once Leslie came back to her side, Akeno nodded at her and turns to the Angels, "So, are we doing this or not?"

Vasco was the first to step in, "I'll take both of them." He then points his finger toward Shang-Chi and Duy.

Shang-Chi and Duy expected this, after all only a martial artist can find a fellow martial artist.

Akeno doesn't mind this, she just hopes that this big guy could handle the two of them.

Leslie also decided to step in and said, "I hope we could exchange pointers, Griselda-sama.", Griselda nodded at her and unsheathed her sword.

Leslie also did the same and pulled out a gladius from her back, while setting her rifle away from the battlefield.

Akeno nodded and pointed at Ewald and Dulio and said, "I'll take on the both of you."

Dulio just sighed and muttered "What a drag."

Ewald just nodded and also unsheathes his long sword.

Dulio saw him unsheathing, so he also gets ready and conjured a sword made of light. His talent in Light magic is very high, so he could construct different and complex shapes in light energy just from his imagination.

Seeing that each side has already picked their fighting partner, Gasper looks around and saw Diethelm

At the same time, Diethelm also looks around and saw Gasper and they both stared at each other before nodding in agreement.

They both moved far away from the battlefield, not because of the damage they might produce but because they might get affected by the damage their teammates produced.
