Serafall's Predicament

[A/N]- I have to say, I wasn't expecting so much exposure just in the first day. Does every new fic do so well or is it the appeal of Madara? (I'm leaning towards the latter)

I don't think anyone wants to read my rambling so just enjoy the chapter. I can see the story starting to spice up after this chapter.

***

A man with long spiky hair was calmly walking away on the street but even with his weird outfit no one paid him any attention, it was as if he was a ghost.

'Rating Game?' He wondered what it was. A devil tradition? The only reason he had been paying extra attention to Rias's group was because of Koneko.

That girl had a lot more chakra than those around her. He was interested in her method of utilising chakra.

Suddenly he slowed down.

When Serafall's pressure descended on the city, he looked in the direction and smirked. His eyes gleamed with excitement and his direction changed.

His footsteps were firm but seemingly weightless.

Madara had already confirmed the situation with his small clones. Unfortunately, they couldn't handle the pressure and got erased.

His other clones dissipated and more information filled his mind, "Serafall Leviathan? One of the four Maou? Strongest Female Devil?" His smirk widened.

She would serve as an example.

The pressure she released was impressive to say the least.

He could already imagine how fun it was going to be...

His speed increased and he started sprinting. He jumped and from one rooftop to another, his figure flashed like a shadow.

***

On Serafall's side.

Grayfia appeared and immediately looked for Serafall and Sona. Seeing them she sighed in relief and turned towards the table.

'So this was the reason.' She felt sad for Sona but she was relieved.

"Serafall-sama, Calm down."

Serafall turned her head towards Grayfia and spat out venomously, "Calm down? Grayfia, Someone dared to harm my sister while I was away!"

Gryafia nodded in understanding but still shook her head, "You can't fight, At least not here. You should know the consequences that would occur if a Maou battled someone," Reaching this part Grayfia paused. "The Shinto Gods."

Hearing the last part Serafall calmed down, This city was just borrowed land that they could be stripped off of if she ran rampant. The Shinto Gods wouldn't allow Maou's to fight in their territory.

But was the culprit even worthy of her using all her strength? She doubted it. Satan-Class powerhouses don't just appear out of nowhere and the ones she knew wouldn't harm anyone precious to her, for they knew the consequences of that.

As she was contemplating she noticed a figure approaching them. The figure stopped a rooftop away from them and gazed at them through the window.

Serafall and Grayfia looked at each other and disappeared. They appeared above Ryu's rooftop.

Madara gazed at the both of them and then turned his attention to the kids around them. Madara was a battle junkie but he wasn't a fool. Taking on these two women at the same time could be detrimental.

He still didn't have an idea of the power system in this world. That information was an absolute must and small fries couldn't provide him that.

*Cough* He was also excited to battle.

His eyes moved and his mind worked, He could tell that those kids were a weakness to them.

He released his chakra like an untamed beast and allowed it to seep out of his body. His chakra flared and increased in size bit by bit.

It waved in the air.

It was as if a monster was looming over them, threatening to engulf them at any moment. Grayfia and Serafall wordlessly looked at the display of raw power.

"Grayfia... Take the children away." Grayfia was quick on her foot. Serafall's voice was abnormally serious, She knew she couldn't delay her orders. Her centuries of experience as a devil told her so.

She flashed and disappeared.

'Hmm, That devil would most likely return with reinforcements. I have a few minutes to play around then.' Just like he planned, The weaker one of the two went to bring the kids to a safe place.

His Sharingan activated and turned into a three tomoe Sharingan.

Serafall too flared her magic energy. 'What is that energy? Is it chakra?' She was startled by the pure chakra he was releasing, even the strongest youkai she had met didn't have such pure chakra.

She knew she couldn't go overboard so she had to keep the impact minimum. She looked at the man who had his arms crossed across his chest and calmly lifted her hand.

Since Madara was on a higher platform he was looking down at Serafall.

When she raised her hands his Sharingan spun and he immediately tilted his head to the side.

*SWISH*

He glanced to the side and a trail of ice was visible. Looking back he saw an ice spear breaking through walls after walls.

"Impressive."

His figure flashed and he appeared behind her. He stabbed his hand straight at her neck. Serafall ducked and jumped back. Bringing her wings out she flapped them and gained some height.

'He's fast!' She wondered what abilities those eyes had. They were constantly spinning, attracting her to it.

"Hmph," Seeing her fly annoyed him, His hands weaved like lightning and he brought his hand to his mouth.

"Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!"

[Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame]

A fiery light appeared and Serafall saw a sea of fire appear from his mouth. Her irises reflected the fire and her vision had nothing but fire in it.

She rapidly chanted and waved her hand.

As soon as she did that a humungous wall of ice appeared, stopping the sea of fire from spreading anymore but it didn't help and she had to continuously pump magic energy into it as it was melting away instantaneously.

Clouds of smoke formed making the area appear foggy but this didn't restrict both of their visions.

Madara stopped the Jutsu.

Serafall moved her lips and a few magic circles appeared around her. Madara curiously looked at her and immediately magic circles surrounded him.

Spikes of Ice emerged and stabbed at his body but The Sharingan in his eyes gracefully moved and with perfect movements he avoided every single ice attack.

The speed he moved at was fascinating. His figure moved like a blur.

"Let's pick up the pace shall we?" He smirked and brought his hands together,

"Mokuton: Mokusatsu Shibari no Jutsu!"

[Wood Style: Silent Strangle Jutsu]

Madara's hand turned into wood and dozens of flexible branches rushed at Serafall, for the first minute she was able to avoid them but their speed kept on increasing.

Her eyes moved around and she too increased her speed. As a Maou, her speed was nothing less than impressive.

But ultimately she failed and those branches strangled her feet and hands. Her limbs were stretched and she struggled to free herself.

Madara didn't waste time and his hand once again stabbed at her neck. But this time a blue coating of chakra surrounded his arm.

All of this happened within the blink of an eye.

Serafall felt time slow down as she saw his hand inch closer to her neck every second. Luckily for her, she was able to deploy a barrier in time.

A yellow barrier surrounded her and Madara's hand collided with it. It cracked and the cracks spread around the barrier.

It seemed like just a light touch would cause it to shatter.

Serafall wasn't idle in the meantime. The branches were somehow more sturdy than she had expected. No matter how much physical strength she used she couldn't free herself from them.

She also didn't expect him to almost break the barrier with his bare hands.

This time she too let her magic flow freely and as if beasts wanting to jump out of their cage her magic power flared and immediately destroyed the branches binding her allowing her to regain her mobility.

Madara's figure reappeared in her vision and she couldn't believe her eyes. He was looking at her with a bored expression.

He was bored in this situation!?

Madara felt his contempt for her rising. He could tell that she was still holding back and this was causing his patience to wither.

Till now he had barely used any strength, not even mentioning his Rinnegan abilities.

"You're still underestimating me aren't you, Devil?" His was voice was cold and his hands moved again.

He changed the direction he was looking into,

Serafall immediately grew wary and to her astonishment a dozen of fireballs appeared in the sky, threatening to destroy everything.

Each of them was the size of an average Japanese house.

They circled in the sky behind Madara and the temperature that was already boiling due to the sea of flames that Madara had generated increased again.

Sweat dripped down Serafall's forehead.

She suddenly heard his deep but penetrating voice. His voice boomed in the surroundings,

"Katon: Gōenka!"

[Fire Style: Flame Flower]

Immediately those fireballs were launched at shocking speeds,

But!

It wasn't in her direction, She momentarily grew confused before she looked at the direction they headed for.

Kuoh Academy!

'Oh no!'

She could still sense the aura of everyone at Kuoh Academy.

'Grayfia must've gone to collect Rias as well but why was she still there!?'

She paid no attention to Madara and rushed to counter them but Madara immediately blocked her and kicked her in the abdomen.

She tried to use Ice magic but Madara kept on attacking her in different ways, He gave her no time to use any kind of Ice magic.

She gritted her teeth and looked at him in absolute frustration.

[End]

Guess I did okay.

I'll try to balance out and properly show how strong Madara actually is and how much exactly he needs to improve in the strength department.

It's DxD and Madara, This guy would find several ways to increase his strength so don't worry about that.
