More than a quarter of an hour ago.

Rias and Akeno teleported near the church and started walking towards it.

"Look who's here."

A fallen angel blocked their way by jumping down from a nearby tree branch.

The one who spoke up was a girl with blonde hair styled into twintails and blue eyes. She wore a Gothic Lolita attire, which consisted of a black Lolita dress with white frills, a large black bow on the front, and a green jewel embedded in the collar, white thigh-high socks, and black shoes. She also wore a large black bow on top of her hair.

Rias and Akeno stopped and looked at her.

She stood up and said, "People call me the fallen angel Mittelt! And I'm the most awesome angel in existence."

"Oh my, how courteous of you. But aren't you a bit into it?" Akeno smiled and said.

"My servants sensed your presence. You must be scared of us being on the move." Rias followed up.

"Nope, not at all." She laughed, "It's just that we don't want devils interrupting our important ritual."

"Well, we're sorry about that. Our cheerful kids just went there." Akeno snickered at her.

"Wait, what!? Are you freaking serious?"

"Fufufu. Yes! Boldly through the front gate."

"Damn it! I figured you'd be sneaking in from the back!" Mittelt repeatedly stomps her foot on the ground in frustration.

After a few seconds, she stopped and calmed down by letting out a sigh, "Well, how many lackeys you bring doesn't really matter anyway. It won't be a problem. After all, you two are the only ones who actually stand a chance of interrupting us. Thanks for coming all the way out here!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm not going to join them." Rias replied.

"Oh wait, you're abandoning them?" Mittelt looked at them stupefied.

Before Rias and Akeno could answer her, two other fallen angel landed near Mittelt.

"Hooh, what do we have here?" Dohnaseek, who Rias, Akeno, and Koneko met before when he tried to kill Issei as he thought he was a stray devil, muttered.

Dohnaseek was a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. His attire consisted of a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora.

"You want to interrupt Reynare-sama's ritual? I'll have to kill you both here. " Kalawarner, the last of the fallen angels spoke up.

Kalawarner was a tall and buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye. Her attire consisted of a maroon, trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trenchcoat top was open at her chest, giving a view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck. She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only be seen from the bottom.

After Kalawarner spoke up, they all took the air.

"Akeno." Rias calmly called out to her Queen.

"Yes, Buchou." Akeno separated from Rias and raise her arm.

Akeno's demonic power surges up and her school uniform suddenly transforms into a traditional Miko attire, consisting of a white hair with red accents, a red hakama, and a pair of zōri with white tabi.

"Dammit! Why is a devil like you have a transformation scene!?" Mittelt couldn't help but say.

Akeno didn't reply but spread her arms out and multiple magic circles appeared in the surrounding essentially sealing off the space around them.

"Hey, aren't we screwed?" Mittelt looked around in slight panic.

"So this is what you planned from the start." Kalawarner materialized a spear of light and aimed it to Akeno.

"Ahh~. Don't disappoint me you lot. I hope you can take a lot of pain" Akeno smiled seductively.

"Hmmph, the stupid devil. This will only work if you can take all of us at the same time. And besides, the ritual is almost over and even you lady Gremory wouldn't stand a chance against us." Dohnaseek sneered at the two devils. and started throwing spear of lights to both of them.

"Haha, damn right." Mittelt managed to regain her calm.

"I see, so your aim is that nun's sacred gear," Rias commented.

They threw a volley of spears at them and Akeno raised a magic circle as a shield to protect Rias.

"Not bad! That shield is pretty strong to block spears of light. Pretty good for a devil." Mittelt nonchalantly said.

"But I wonder how long it is going to last." Kalawarner threw another spear and two followed suit.

"Sealing this space and putting up a shield, not a very good plan." Dohnaseek gives them another sneer.

The two just stayed silent not hearing any of their provocations.

"Hey how about you leave and will let you go~. Just kidding. You're accompanying us here until everything is over. We'll also turn you two into powder afterward. Hahaha. Your servants should be black and blue now.

"Especially the perverted kid that fell in love with Reynare-neesama! I'm sure he's long been—."

"Don't underestimate Issei. He's my strongest pawn, after all." Rias finally interrupted her annoying monologue.

"'Pawn'? Oh right, you depict your servants as chess pieces. Pawns are the ones lining up on the front, aren't they?" Mittelt continued on grumbling and throwing spears.

"So, they're basically sacrificial lambs," Kalawarner commented from the side.

"Oh my, our club president would never sacrifice any pieces!" Akeno has some bead of sweats running through her neck as she blocks their attacks. But their last attack finally broke through her shield and she was thrown a few feet away from Rias.

"You seem to be thinking that kid's so capable, but he doesn't stand a chance against

Reynare-sama, no matter how good he is." Dohnaseek threw another line.

"She's his ex-girlfriend, after all!" Mittelt is already snickering as if she remembered something funny, "Reynare-sama told us about what she did to him. It was hilarious!"

Rias aura suddenly changed but the three fallen angels didn't notice it.

"Don't go there, Mittelt. Just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud!" Dohnaseek also started snickering.

And Kalawarner is also the same, "Well, I have to admit it was really funny!"

They, at the same time, threw their strengthened spear of lights to kill Rias who is already defenseless.

"Buchou! Watch out!" Akeno warned her master.

But before the spears landed on her, a surge of powerful demonic energy came out of her and destroyed all the spears.

"It bounced off her?!" Kalawarner was angst, especially from the terrifying energy coming off her. The two fallen angels also finally felt dread.

"You made fun of my servant." Rias' demonic powers, now laced with destruction element, surges up one more time.

"Oh my, you shouldn't have made her upset. You did a good job taunting her, you silly angels." Akeno commented.

Rias sent a wave of her Destruction power to all of them and they instantly disappeared from the face of the earth not even uttering a cry of grief.

"Let's go, Akeno. We shouldn't let them wait." Rias dusted herself and started walking towards the church.

"Yes, Buch--"

"Now, now. Look at what you have done to my precious little pets." Akeno was interrupted by a sudden intruder and a sinister aura engulf them.
