20.

I spread out my demonic senses and find the targets to burn this place down to the ground. I then moved upstairs and kicked the 2nd door. A 4 year old nekoshou with a white hair was startled seeing the destroyed door and started shivering. She was scared.

"I'm here to bring you out. Come, we'll take your sister as well." She is shaking in fear but she started following me as she wants to see her sister who hasn't visited her for a week now.

I then head down to the basement and kicked the wooden door and saw another nekoshou older than me by a year being held with a knife by her master.

"Stop there or I'll kill her. I'm warning you, I've already sent a signal of help to the council now your life is forfeit. Surrender and be my subject mongrel." He said with a smirk and evil grin.

"Hey, you. Do you want to return to your sister?" The black haired nekoshou nodded as the man tightened his grip on the knife. He felt like something was wrong.

I sent a precise judgement cut to her master and he was ravaged by cuts as he lets go of the black haired nekoshou and used my DS arts to close the gap and caught her by the waist and requipped force edge and pointed it to her master.

"Any final word- You know what? Scums like you don't need final words." I then summoned multiple astral swords and pierced him.

I laid down the black haired nekoshou and the white one came closer and hugged her sister.

"Kuroka-nee!" She cried and her sister caressed her hair.

"I'm sorry Shirone, big sister didn't visit you okay?" Kuroka said making Shirone cry even more. I then used my demonic energy as I transferred some into her wounds are healing at a fast rate that can be seen by naked eye.

"Thank you, for saving us but..." Kuroka said and stood up.

"Who are you? I can sense that you are not a devil, I don't feel holy energy as well from you. But I can sense a sinister energy within you. What are you?" She asked and I shrugged.

"Just a wandering passerby. Enough about me. What are your plans? They will blame this to either one of you." I asked making Shirone sad.

Kuroka looked at her sister and said

"Shirone, big sister will have to leave you alright? Once big sister is strong, I'll come back and get you okay? Can I join you Mr. Passerby?"

"You've sensed my sinister energy and you still want to come with me? Are you stupid? How do you know I won't do anything bad to you or your sister?"

"You spoke some harsh words but I didn't feel any bad intent in it, if I'm to be honest, I'm more scared of her. And if you want to do anything bad to me or my sister, you would've done so earlier right?" She said

I flinched at her question. I already have so many people living under the house, adding another wouldn't matter right? I can have Sui Feng teach her about stealth and infiltration, as well as information gathering. Once she's ready, I will have her infiltrate Khaos Brigade once they formed to have some idea of their plans.

"Sure, but where'll you take your sister? Go and take her to the place you want to leave her with and come back. I will have fun with a devil king." I sliced the space and a portal leading to the town opened and they entered the portal. Shirone stopped and looked at me before asking

"Will we meet again, big brother?" I gave her a smile and nodded at her.

"Yeah we'll meet again."

The portal then closed. I stared at the darkness as a drooling Sui Feng appeared.

"Sui Feng, do gather all the research papers and intel they have here, I will have to entertain two guests. I then cut the space open, undid the demonic space lock and appeared outside the mountain.

I was then met with two figures, A silver haired french maid and a siscon devil king with red hair.

"Fancy meeting you once again, Miss maid. Have you learned proper etiquette now?" I greeted the maid casually and she shivered because she remembered the hopelessness she felt when she stood in front of me.

"Why are you here? and why did you invade the underworld? Do you want to have a war with us?!" The red haired devil king said making me laugh

"Pffft... Hahaha...haha...hahahahaha, war they said. Pfffft." I then stopped laughing as I said in a cold tone.(Alucard's laugh when Major declared war XD)

"War? With me? You can't afford it. It will not be a war, but a one-sided massacre. Do you believe it?" I didn't receive an answer but a ball of destruction energy assaulted me in the front. I casually swung my sword as the orb was sliced into two and landed on the other mountains.

"What?! He sliced it?!" Sirzechs exclaimed

"Oh come on, that was normal for a master swordsman, that ball of destruction energy, was that it? If it is then you are not a match for me."

Sirzechs then used his full power as earthquake shaked the lands, I waited for him to attack and he did. He appeared in front of me attacking me with a punch covered in destruction energy. My body reacted and redirected his attack and immediately countered with a punch of mine covered in demonic energy.

Sirzechs gritted his teeth in pain and attacked me once more and I casually redirected all of his attacks and countered him. What I didn't expect was he backed out and the maid casted a massive spell freezing me in it.

"What a shame, it was supposed to be a good battle but you backed out. Sissy." I mocked him and he can't do nothing but grit his teeth.

"At least we can confine you for the crimes you did in the underworld." The maid said.

I laughed really hard at her statement as she thought I became insane because I can't escape.

"You really think, this mere ice can confine me?! Dream on!" I activated my devil trigger and clenched my fist, it destroyed the magic circle making the maid receive the backlash.

"What are you?" Asked Sirzechs as she held the maid

"Me? Does it really matter? As for my 'crimes' you say? You don't even know what they've done and you say I'm the criminal? How ridiculous." Sui Feng then shunpoed next to me and handed me a large folder. I cancelled my devil trigger and scanned the contents of it.

I then crumpled a paper and threw it at Sirzechs. He was confused at the paper I threw and he opened it. He was shocked because the Naberius family are doing sick experiments on humans and massacred a race of nekomata.

"My crimes? How laughable. You desired peace but you can't even clean your backyard. How pathetic. Is your title for show? If so then just drop it. Its useless." I mocked him and he gritted his teeth.

Kuroka then showed up and was shocked to see the devil king Sirzechs on his knees clutching her queen.

"What happened?" She asked but I didn't answer.

"Have you finished your business? If so then let's leave." I said as I sliced the space and a portal appeared and left the place.

"Do you know who he is? Grayfia?" Sirzechs asked her queen as it seems like they've met before.

"Yes, he's Vergil Redgrave, a childhood friend of Akeno. If not for Shuri, I surely would've lost my life back then. I then tried to find information about him, her mother is Eva and she is greater or on par with Griselda in strength. As for his father, I don't know." Grayfia explained

"Do you know what is that form he used to break the circle?" He asked in hopes of getting more info on him.

"I don't know. I have no idea as well." Grayfia said shaking her head.

They both stared at the place where Vergil stood before leaving underworld.

As you can see I remade the chapters and decided to put the tarot cards off for now. I will put it in them after making sure they can handle the trigger and not pass out.

Exams and Work is also starting to catch up to me so don't expect chapters for me for a while. If I slacked off then maybe I can post a chapter, but I wont promise anything as promises are meant to be broken.
