Cliche

While Vali and Rias took the attention of the people outside, Alex went into the ORC room to save Gasper. When he arrived there were several magicians present that seemed surprised at his arrival.

"Impossible! How did they let one in? No matter, it won't be too hard to deal with one person." Alex sighed at the cliche lines from antagonists that think they're completely in charge. He wondered if they even did any research about who was here, if so they wouldn't talk about him being "one person". He didn't pay them any mind and said to Gasper,

"Hey Gasper, how long to you plan to be caught? Let's hurry up and get out of here." He just started crying though, as expected of the shut in.

"I'm just in the way, like this time. You should just kill me so that I'm not a problem anymore!" Alex sighed once again at his words. He looked at Gasper as if he's bored and said,

"What about Rias? She wants to keep you, and if I didn't tell her to fight outside she would've come here herself. Or do you not care about helping her?" Alex knew that Rias's command loyalty skill level wasn't just for show, as everyone of her peerage has always been devoted to serving her. As he expected, at his words Gasper became conflicted, Alex took out a knife.

Part of the reason for his actions was that Rias's peerage would follow him into other worlds through Asora. Worst case scenario was that depending on the person he could be up against entire armies in the future so he needed all of his followers to be capable. If Gasper failed to live up to his expectations, then he'll just resolve the current situation then work on him later. He cut his hand and flung it out, sending the drops of blood across the room onto Gaspers face.

"If you truly want to abandon Rias, then just sit there and I'll resolve the situation. If not then use what you have and become part of our strength." Of course the magicians just sat there as they talked, and didn't do anything about Alex's blood going to Gasper. Alex would've almost asked for more competent opponents, if it weren't that they were perfect cannon fodder for grinding levels. Gasper licked the blood on his face, and there was a sudden burst of energy and he disappeared.

The magicians started freaking out, and decided the best course of action was to attack Alex. He just stood there, and all of the spells they threw at him suddenly froze in the air.

"I see you." Was all that was heard from the dozens of bats flying above everyone, as he then froze all the magicians as well. Alex then simply tied them up, and left them until they could be collected. After that the power of his blood ran out, and Gasper returned to normal. Alex sighed in relief when he didn't notice any distinct side effects of his Saiyan blood. If he had taken a closer look though, he probably would be noticed Gasper looking a little less girlish.

The two then headed outside, where Vali was talking about him defecting to the Kaos brigade. Rias thankfully had retreated back to Sirzechs side, and Vali was explaining the situation to Azazel while a tan skinned woman wearing glasses was beside him. Alex recognized her as Katerea leviathan. Alex had arrived just in time to watch Azazel take out a dagger.

"Hey, let me take a shot before revealing your trump card, alright?" Azazel looked surprised at Alex's words, but conceded to them and stepped back. Alex looked at the two in the sky, and activated balance break. He flew up to their level, and said to Vali,

"I suppose we'll have to have a match now before our real one later, right?" Vali grimaced at Alex's words, and replied,

"I guess we'll get to use it for a comparison when we do. How far we go, from this point to then." Alex nodded and said,

"Just let me take care of the hentai tentacle lady first, consider it my appetizer before fighting you." At Alex's words Azazel started laughing, and Katerea glared at him as if she was going to enjoy killing him. Alex had a thought and asked Azazel,

"Did she already use the snake?" Everyone looked surprised at his words, but no one was more than Katerea. She then took out a bottle with a snake in it from her dress. 'Huh, guess she hasn't used it yet' Alex thought to himself. She then used it , probably as a precaution for fighting him, and Azazel after. Sensing her power growing, he was starting to get pumped for the fight.

"I'll be getting back Katerea, if nothing else I guess you'll be useful for me to see his abilities before hand." She shot a look of disgust at vali's words, and turned back to Alex with nothing but confidence in her gaze.

"I heard you're a devil, but you don't seem to be an actual part of the new Maou faction. I suppose the others would want me to extend an invitation to the red dragon emperor, but I don't feel like it. I think I'll just kill you before moving on to the imposters." At her words Alex felt like asking something before fighting.

"Quick question, why do you think you're superior when you have to use Ophis's snakes to be able to compete? Isn't the fact that you have to use them proof that you're actually inferior?" At Alex's question Azazel laughed out loud again, and Vali also looked at her in a questioning way, since he didn't ever use the snakes while preferring to use his own power. Katerea however looked livid at his words, and simply started to attack.

Alex simply dodged all of the tentacles she shot at him, and pulled out ascalon. He rushed through all of her attacks before arriving right in front of her. Katerea looked shocked at his speed and Alex calmly said,

"I may use magic a lot, but I do mainly train my physical abilities you know." And he plunged ascalon into her gut. After stabbing her he reached in with his hand and pulled out the snake, causing her power up to end. He then grabbed her by the throat and threw her to Azazel,

"I think we can take this one prisoner, the holy power should've weakened her quite a bit." Azazel quickly took her to Sirzechs in order to keep the prisoner from dying, and Alex turned back to Vali.

"Please tell me you'll be a bit better than her." He said plainly, but his actions were anything but plain as he got into a battle stance.
