Chapter 77 - Old shall die

Unknown place. Few days before the defeat of Kokabiel.

Within thick barrier where anything that tried to enter was instantly killed. Inside were countless devils observing enormous creature that could only be described accumulation of numerous creature. The creature was in a deep slumber yet everyone who laid upon it were quivering fear.

The sheer pressure it was releasing despite its docile state were capable of killing if they got too close. The creature was mere myth to many but before their eyes it held true from the myth.

"This is Thrihexa? Fascinating this is truly going to be amazing show down between us and these ignorant fools. Who would expected that another world creature would show themselves to me."

A middle age short white haired man who wore long white and blue with golden lights garb accompanied by its of armor on the shoulder and chest. His eyes in glee seeing the long sought after creature that he wish to used to contact another world creature but now it all change. He didn't expect to meet with another world creature who told him about certain things.

"Indeed, my lord shall enjoy his descend to this world. Fortunately, this creature can provide suitable vessel for the time being."

Spoke by man with slick back that had single strand falling wearing cloak rat had fur on the shoulder and leather shirt. The most striking feature is on his fore head that had five vertical lights and one horizontal line across and golden crown. He was smiling maniacally similar to the middle age man. They had the same personality who wish to drown the world in chaos.

"Its so boring here! I want to fight him again though!!"

Beside him was young girl who had similar clothing but had an eyepatch at one of her eye. She had short black hair and golden tiara. The young girl couldn't take it anymore and tried to open portal but was stopped by another.

"It is not appropriate. Our task given by lord nyarlathotep is prepare a vessel for him. The previous timeline be could take advantage of it but now he can."

Explain by stoic man who had short messy black hair with a horizontal line on his forehead then vertical on his right eye across. He was quiet unlike the two of his companion but his face was façade at how cruel he is.

"Zenon! But its so boring! Maybe lord would be happy if I told him that I was causing chaos in his name!?"

"It would only anger him. Don't be like the other dark apostle who was too careless and was manipulate by the Hated one."

"Bleh! Alright. Aren't we going to start?"

"It would take time but the necessary material is present."

The trio then turn towards the devil who suddenly couldn't moved from place even the white haired man was horrified from the situation.

"What!? How dare you betray us!? Didn't have agreed that we will drown this world and other worlds in chaos?"

"Rizevim how unfortunate that you are nothing more but battery for our lord. It was truly unpredictable that 'he' was willing to delay us just for this world. But now that we manage to remove him it is time to fulfill your purpose."

Explained by the short haired man still remained emotionless staring at them. The devil internally curse their predicament and tried their might to escaped but their vitally was slowly drained. Their existences were absorbed the slumbering beast with all of the devil dying.

"It's a shame that woman was able to escape."

"Let her go. There's nothing beside telling about our arrival toward him. We should focus more on our arrival."

""Indeed/Alright!""

The massive beast began to absorbed all the vitality of the devil. gradually being enveloped by dark mucus. It would long that their lord arrived in the lower world but once it happened then all out war shall come.

Few blur past by the trees where hooded figure being chased by faceless bat like creature. The hood was removed to reveal woman with dark skin and glasses. She was purposely sweating with horrified expression.

'If those creature truly said then I need to find my niece! My instincts is telling me get as far I can when j met them.'

The woman was none other than Katerea Leviathan who had fled once she felt danger. She couldn't believed how the rest of her devil comrade were easily swayed by the foreign entity. Katerea was the only one who hadn't been enticed by their sweet words.

However, it resulted in her clan to be slaughtered when they tried to escape only leaving her. She was furious but couldn't do anything and prioritize in finding her niece. Katerea unknown reason felt the urge to go to Kuoh where the two heiress reside.

At first they planned on attacking them but it all change when the trio arrived. Now Katerea was desperate in finding the Red Dragon emperor. She was in the kuoh town and only needed to find the place but was cornered by the bat like creature whose face open a vertical mouth with long tongue ready to sucked her life. She was now in dimensional barrier with no hope of escaping.

"Dammit! If you going to kill me then I won't be the only one!"

She quickly cast a water spell producing a tsunami that form into a enormous leviathan ready to devour the creature but it vanished into nothing. Katarea was utter shocked at how easily she was overpowered without even trying.

The creature gave high pitch chuckled that went full on laugher that produced mental erosion. Katarea screamed in pain from the sound and fell into her knees. She looked at the creature ready to devour her in despair.

'I-Is this going to be my end!? Well at least Ingvild is alive then that's fun. The leviathan clan will live on.'

Accepting her death closed her eyes ready for the inevitable but nothing came. Katarea slowly opened her eyes and saw two individual in front of her. One was blonde woman wearing an orange armor while the other was man wearing scarlet coat but the most striking is his long white hair dancing with the wind.

"Thankfully I got here in time!"

The man spoke while he slowly turn towards Katerea who was astonished to see the creature who had immense power was no where to be seen and only black mucus on the ground was seen.

She stared intently towards the young man that had ravishing looks that Katerea felt hot but was to tired and collapsed on the ground. The young man run up to her checking if she was alive and sigh in relief finding a pulse.

"Isn't that Katerea? I thought she went with Rizevim?"

"No, those old faction are in enticing spell and somehow Katerea was able to ignore it."

The young man, Issei carried her in princess carry while observing a strange aura surrounding her. He made mental not of its strange property. Jeanne followed Issei to his home where he was greeted by his lover.

"Issei yo-"

The one who greeted was Ingvild who gasped in shocked to see her aunt unconscious body. She turn to looked at Issei for explaination.

"Don't worry she's still alive but exhausted. Let's get her in the guest room before I explain everything."

Ingvild nodded while looking at her aunt worried. Issei brought Katerea on one of the guest room while commanding the Automata maids to call his lovers who either busy training or relaxing. Few minutes had passed and the rest of his lover who weren't busy arrived.

"Issei I heard you found Katerea?"(Rias)

"How was your trip in the realm of the dead?"(Sona)

"Ara~ isn't this Jeanne-chan? So he restored your memory as well huh?(Akeno)

"Hold on I'll explain everything but first Asia can you help me heal Katerea?"

"Sure! She looked extremely exhausted and have sever curse place on her."(Asia)

She commented while using her Twilight healing. Issei could easily used his own magic and healing but it was better for Asia to used her ability to grow stronger. Her Twilight Healing was effected in Outer gods power which purify them.

"So are you going to tell us what happened?"(Yuumi)

"If I'm not wrong Katerea is being chased by those creature proxies?"(Tsubaki)

"Yeah well let me explain from the start."
