CHAPTER 18

"Actually, Rias, we've met before, remember?" Solas said.

"Hm? When?"

"I think it was you and Akeno's first stray devil subjugation mission. Grayfia and Serafall were also there. Did you forget the man in the hoodie who saved you there that night?"

In an instant, Rias vs Akeno's eyes widened in shock.

"Was that person you?!" Rias asked.

"Yep."

"Wait a minute if you found me then why didn't you come? Why did you hide yourself?"Akeno asked.

"There was something I wanted to surprise you with so I couldn't show myself to you back then and I had to stay away from you for things I needed to do but I was always protecting you. I was protecting you from the shadows without you knowing."

"I see. So what is that surprise?"

"You have to come to my house after school today to see the surprise." Solas said.

"Okay."

So we chatted for a while and of course, Issei immediately expressed his desire to become the king of the Harem aloud.

'If he makes a move on my women or my sister, it won't end well for him.' Solas thought.

"By the way, Rias, there are two more pure demons in this school and they both have similar auras to yours, any idea? Except, of course, that one is a descendant of the succubus that was destroyed a long time ago." Solas asked after Basara, Issei etc left. Rias, Akeno, and Solas were in the room now.

Rias and Akeno's eyes widened in shock. After all, Solas had just entered the school 1 class ago and had already detected all the devils in the school.

"They are my sisters." Rias answered.

"...? But their auras are different, and as far as I know, you can get power according to your lineage in devils. You use the power of destruction but I can clearly sense the gravitational force of the Gremory clan from one of those girls and the other is a succubus anyway. Succubuses cannot be born unless at least one of the parents is not a succubus. So since you are not a succubus, this shows that your mother or father is different." Solas said.

Rias was speechless. After all, she did not expect such an in-depth explanation from Solas all of a sudden.

"You're right. My sisters' mothers are different from mine. My father married two more women after my birth. One is Mio Gremory's mother and the other is Maria Gremory's mother, Sheila Gremory. Me and my brother Sirzechs Lucifer inherited the power of Destruction, the descendant trait of my mother Venelena Gremory, Mio inherited the gravitational power of our clan, the Gremory clan, and Maria inherited the Succubus traits from her mother."

'I slept with the mother of the girl who owns the peerage my sister is in, and we even have a marriage contract, I'm very curious about Rias' reaction when Rias find out in the future.' Solas thought to himself, laughing.

"I see."

"Why did you ask?" Rias asked.

"No major reason, just wondering."

Shortly after, the conversation ended. Rias again invited Solas, but was again refused.

Everyone returned to their lessons, and as the lessons were proceeding normally, a strange feeling suddenly appeared on Solas' wrist, and Solas remembered... The exact place where the feeling was was where Kuroka had marked. That meant Kuroka had to be nearby.

So during the lunch break, Solas searched the entire town of Kuoh with his senses and found Kuroka's location. But strangely enough, someone was after Kuroka, and Kuroka was hurt.

'I think this feeling on my wrist is a call for help from Kuroka. I'm coming Kuroka. No one can touch my wife.'

So Solas immediately went to Kuroka's side.

------------------------------------------

(Inside an abandoned factory.)

'Tch! I was careless. I wouldn't have guessed that these guys would bring an Ultimate class with them. Youjutsu slows them down a bit, I hope Ash saves me. I can't reach to Vali or the others because of the barrier they have set up in the area, but thankfully I can use my connection with Ash.' Kuroka thought as she put pressure on her injured shoulder and the cut on her stomach.

"Hohohohoho... So you are hiding little cat." Suddenly, an old man's voice was heard.

When Kuroka turned in the direction of the voice, there was a dark-skinned old-looking male devil, and right next to him was a girl with white-hair, Ultimate-class devil.

'Tch! If it wasn't for that white-haired girl, I wouldn't have a problem, but both the ambush they set up and that girl's abilities in both magic and physical strength are really great. I can't believe I'm ambushed by these scumbags.'

"What do you want Zolgear?!"

"Revenge of course."

"Huh?!"

"That noble family heir you killed and the lab you destroyed were working with me, and because of you my years of work were destroyed. Did you think it wouldn't cost anything? So I'll catch you first and then the other little cat and use it for my experiments, but don't worry, after my night with you both, you'll be dying to serve me."

"Don't get my sister involved, Zolgear!!"

"Of course, there is a way not to involve your sister in this matter. Kneel before me and swear allegiance to me. Then I'll take good care of your body tonight." Zolgear said with a disgusting look in his eyes.

'This guy makes me want to throw up. But what can I do now? Before I can activate Youjutsu or Senjutsu, that girl attacks me. Damn it!'

"Oi Oi! My woman can only bow her head in front of me and even do that only in bed."

When a youth's voice was heard, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and they encountered a youth sitting on an iron beam. The youth's face was covered with shadows due to the lack of light in the factory, but the heterochromic eyes on that shadowy face were glowing, and another thing that was scary about the face was that his mouth was smiling like a monster.

In a short time, sunlight began to enter the factory, and the face and shape of the youth, covered with shadows, began to be fully visible.

"Ash!" Kuroka said.

'Who is this brat?! But since this cat is so happy to see this man, it would be easier for me to break this cat's mind if I tortured this man to death in front of her eyes.' Zolgear thought.

'Everything on your mind is written on your face, old man. Don't expect mercy from me, even if you run away today, your life will be in my hands. Never to escape will be your prison, and the fear of death will be your torture.' Solas thought.

"Here I am, my lovely kitty. And you? What was your name again? Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Welcome to you're doom. The time you spend here will be etched in your skull and memory."

Solas said with a wide smile on his face.
