Chapter [52]

Inside the House

Inside the house, the atmosphere was tense and filled with fear. As soon as Kaito increased his magic, an intense and suffocating pressure fell upon everyone present, preventing any movement.

Upstairs, the innocent humans were in complete despair. Three people were trapped in a small room, trembling with fear and not understanding what was happening. A woman cried silently, hugging two visibly frightened children. An older man was paralyzed with terror, his eyes wide and fixed on the door.

Downstairs, Freed, Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt were equally paralyzed. Freed, always arrogant and confident, now felt powerless, his wild eyes filled with rage as he struggled futilely against the pressure. "Damn idiotic Devils," he muttered, his voice full of hatred.

Raynare was visibly scared, her eyes wide and full of fear. She had never felt such overwhelming pressure before. "What's happening?" she murmured, her voice trembling.

Kalawarner and Mittelt were in a panic, trying to move but feeling as if they were bound by invisible chains. Kalawarner, fighting against the fear, whispered, "This is magic... powerful magic."

The fallen angels couldn't hide the terror they felt, knowing they were in great danger. They exchanged desperate looks, realizing that their situation was beyond their control.

Outside the House

Rias and Akeno opened their devil wings and gracefully flew up to the upper floor of the house. Meanwhile, Kaito, Kiba, and Koneko positioned themselves to enter through the front door, ready for anything.

Rias and Akeno hovered before a window on the upper floor, carefully observing the interior of the house. Through the glass, they saw a couple and two small children, all visibly terrified and immobile under Kaito's magical pressure.

Akeno turned to Rias, concern in her eyes. "They are the innocents. We need to act quickly."

Rias nodded, then looked down and shouted to Kaito. "Kaito, stop the magical pressure! We've found the innocents."

Kaito heard Rias's command and, with a deep breath, dissipated the magical pressure. Instantly, the fallen angels and Freed felt the release and began to regain their movements.

Akeno entered through the window, her wings still open, and approached the couple and children. She extended her hand and murmured a spell, teleporting them to the hospital with a soft glow of magical light.

Downstairs Inside the House

Freed, now free, stood up with a sadistic smile, gripping his sword tightly. Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt also stood up, their eyes filled with determination and hatred.

"Damn Devils," growled Freed, preparing for battle. "You will pay for this."

Outside the House

Kaito prepared to break down the door, his eyes glowing with intensity. He could feel the enemies' energy recovering inside and knew he needed to act quickly.

"Let's end this," murmured Kaito, placing his hands on the door.

Kaito, Kiba, and Koneko entered the house quickly, their eyes alert to any movement. The environment was dark and silent, with palpable tension in the air.

Inside the House

Raynare, hearing the door being broken down, turned with a look of fury. "You should have been dead a long time ago!" she shouted, her voice filled with hatred.

Kiba, beside Kaito, drew his sword, the blade shining under the dim light. He noticed that Freed was also armed with a sword, making him a perfect opponent. "Looks like I'll finally have a worthy fight," said Kiba, his voice calm but full of determination.

Freed laughed, a sound full of contempt. "A Devil trying to fight me? You'll regret crossing my path, boy."

Kiba ignored Freed's taunts, focusing on the fight ahead. He knew Freed was dangerous but also trusted his abilities.

Kaito looked around, quickly analyzing the situation. He knew that fighting three fallen angels inside the house would be dangerous for both them and anyone nearby. "I don't want to fight here," he said firmly.

House Entrance

Rias appeared at the entrance, her imposing presence bringing a sense of relief. "Kaito, the humans have been taken to a safe place," she informed, her voice calm but firm.

Kaito did not immediately react to Rias's words. He fixed his gaze on Raynare, the determination in his eyes evident. "I will fight you elsewhere," he declared.

Before anyone could react, Kaito disappeared in a blink of an eye and reappeared in front of Raynare, gripping her neck tightly. "We won't fight here," he said coldly, before teleporting with her, leaving a void in their place.

Upstairs

Meanwhile, Akeno, who had erased the humans' memory and taken them to a safe place, returned to the house. She descended the stairs, intending to retrieve something she had left downstairs.

Rias, seeing Kaito disappear with Raynare, turned her attention to the remaining fallen angels. "Now that Kaito is gone, let's finish this. Koneko, are you ready?"

Koneko nodded, her sharp claws ready for battle. "Yes, Kaichou."

Kalawarner was visibly irritated, her anger directed at both herself and the situation. "How did we let things get to this point?" she murmured, her voice full of frustration.

Akeno, silently descending the stairs, saw the perfect opportunity. She made a gesture for silence to Rias, indicating that she had something in mind. Rias nodded slightly, understanding Akeno's message.

Akeno raised her hands, concentrating her lightning magic. With a swift motion, she unleashed a bolt of electricity directly at Kalawarner and Mittelt, who were distracted.

The bolt hit Kalawarner and Mittelt, catching them by surprise. They screamed in pain as the electricity coursed through their bodies, making them collapse to the floor, electrocuted and incapacitated.

Freed was exchanging sword strikes with Kiba, each movement quick and precise. The sound of clashing blades filled the room, creating an intense and deadly rhythm.

*CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!*

Freed, with a maniacal smile on his face, glanced quickly at Kalawarner and Mittelt lying on the floor, still recovering from Akeno's attack. "You useless idiots! Can't even handle an electric bitch!" he shouted, his voice dripping with contempt.

Akeno, maintaining her calm and confident posture, shot a disdainful look at Freed. "You'll be the next to fall, Freed."

Freed laughed, a sound full of madness. "Ah, electric bitch, I'll have a lot of fun before that happens!"

As Kiba continued exchanging blows with Freed, he maintained his composure, his movements agile and calculated.

Koneko observed the fight, her eyes narrowing.

"Let's finish off this perverted priest."

Kiba nodded to Koneko.

The fight between Kiba and Freed intensified, with both demonstrating their skills. Freed, with his experience and brutality, had a slight advantage over Kiba, his strikes being stronger and more unpredictable.

*CLANG! SWISH!*

Freed took advantage of a moment of distraction and jumped through the window with an agile leap, shattering the glass into a thousand pieces. He spun in the air before landing outside the house, a triumphant expression on his face.

*CRASH!*

"Until next time, Devils!" shouted Freed, his voice echoing in the street as he started running to escape.

Kiba ran to the broken window, watching Freed flee. "He's escaping!" he said, his voice filled with frustration.

Akeno and Koneko approached the window, ready to act. "We won't let him get away," said Akeno, her eyes shining with determination.

"Let him go," said Rias, her expression serious as she looked at Kalawarner and Mittelt, still recovering on the floor.

Kiba turned to Rias, confused. "But he'll get away!"

Rias shook her head.

"He's just a human. He can cause trouble, but nothing we can't handle later. Now we have two fallen angels to interrogate."

Koneko and Akeno approached, ready to follow Rias's instructions. Kalawarner and Mittelt were visibly debilitated, trying to stand but clearly still under the effect of Akeno's attack.

Akeno stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the fallen angels. "What should we do with them, Rias?"

Rias walked over to Kalawarner, who was more conscious, and crouched to meet her eyes. "Who's behind these attacks? Who's killing our clients?"

Outside the House

Outside, Freed was still running, his maniacal laughter echoing through the deserted streets. He felt triumphant, even knowing he had lost the battle. "I'll be back, damn Devils. And when I return, it will be worse for you!"

He disappeared into the darkness, his future plans still uncertain.
