"Well I think that's definitive proof that this is now our business, we need to find out as much as we can about this 'Khaos Brigade," stated Poseidon, breaking the silence and getting nods of agreement form everyone except Hades, whom continued to watch the screen.
Suddenly the Greek God of the Underworld rose from his chair and turned to face Zeus, "brother, leave finding out about this 'Khaos Brigade' to me."
"That's quite the change of tune Hades," observed Apollo with raised eyebrows.
The Trinity God of Olympus kept his gaze focused solely Zeus as he replied, "you need someone who will investigate these rumors with an unbiased eye, Apollo, Artemis and even yourself might see connections that aren't really there. Trust me, if this Khaos Brigade truly does exist then I will inform you."
Zeus was silent before he eventually nodded, "very well Hades, you will be put in charge of the investigation of this 'Khaos Brigade.'"
"And this imposter?" growled Artemis as she gestured back to the screen.
"It is under Hades jurisdiction now, you are not to get involved unless he allows it, either of you," ordered Zeus to the twins.
Artemis and Apollo said nothing as they silently raged at this decision, meanwhile the rest of the Gods just continued watching the fight with interest. After all, whether or not it was truly the Chaste Huntress down there, everyone had to admit that this kind of event was truly unprecedented.
Riser and his remaining airborne peerage stared at the monstrosity below them in horror before Ravel snapped out of her trace, "don't worry as long as we stay in the air and out of melee range will be fine."
Unfortunately as if hearing this, the monster below them looked at the bow in its left hand before they heard the sound of bones shifting again, watching as its arm and bow was covered by the black pelt before the pelt retreated to reveal the bow now fused to her arm. 'What the?' thought Ravel before they all sensed a dense magical energy form in the bow.
The Devils dodged to the side as the prana took the form of an arrow before it was released from Tauropolos and sent flying at them. Unfortunately Isabela wasn't quick enough to dodge and screamed in pain before she fell to the earth like a stone in water, her Rook defense and natural magic resistance protecting her enough so that it wasn't an instant KO as she landed with a grimace and struggled to her feet.
However, the minute she tried to stand the Devil felt a powerful kick hit her in the stomach, sending her flying through the air before she managed to open her eyes just in time to see the monster inches from her face. The Rook tried to punch her opponent as she used her wings to attempt to regain control of her flight pattern, only to see her punch connect to nothing but an afterimage as Isabela felt a hand close around her face before being thrown into the ground.
The Devil landed with a loud crash as she created a large creator, the monster not far behind, the ground shaking as it landed on all fours and stared at the Devils still high in the air. "โโโโโโโโโโ โ โ โ !" roared the beast before returning its attention back to Isabela, whom was clutching her masked face in pain as she got up.
"ISABELA MOVE!" ordered Riser, only for the warning to come too late as the monster appeared in front of her and stabbed its sword like wings into the Rook before leaping back and firing a barrage of arrows at the Devils still in the air.
The entire process occurred in the space of nanoseconds as the monster seemed to be moving so fast that it appeared to be teleporting from one location to the other, thankfully none of the rapid-fire arrows had the accuracy of their slower counterparts and Riser breathed a sigh of relief as they all went soaring over his head.
The monster glanced down at its bow-fused hand before it let out a growl of frustration and they watched as the black pelt moved to cover the red gem encrusted skeletal wings before once again retreating to reveal black leather flaps of skin now covering the skeletal wings, giving them the appearance of a dragon's wings. Riser's eyes widened as he saw the beast give them a test flap before it began beating them rapidly as it slowly rose from the ground.
"โโโโโโโโโโ โ โ โ !" bellowed the beast as it turned its gaze to Riser and suddenly he felt something rip his arm clean off before he was sent slamming into the ground below them.
"Brother/Riser-sama!" came the collective call from his peerage as they watched the monster appear in front of their King again before he had even got to his feet and kicked him in gut.
Riser felt his arm instantly regenerate as he rolled along the ground before he felt something grasp his head and begin to squeeze. The Devil cried out in pain as he felt the pressure increase on his skull and saw the beast once more in front of him, literally squeezing the life out of him. Thankfully, before his skull caved in the monster was forced to let go of his hand as the injured Isabela bull rushed it, using her Rook enhanced strength to pry its clawed hands off him even as the wings once again pierced her body. Riser backed up as he saw Isabela's body fade away leaving only her half mask remaining, as the commentator once again gave a score update.
"Riser Phenex's Rook has been retired! Riser's remaining pieces are his Queen, Bishop and Rook!" announced the commentator as low mutterings could be heard from the observing Devils.
Riser just looked at Isabela's half mask in shock before whatever fear he had once felt was replaced by a burning anger, yes he will admit that he wasn't the best of individuals. He will admit that he wasn't the kindest or the most helpful person around. He will admit that he was arrogant! That he was overconfident! That he was a player! But that didn't matter anymore!
His peerage knew all this and was trying their best to help him even though they were dropping like flies, and he would be damned if he let this thing make their sacrifices worthless. From a fight that he started with his own arrogance no less! Riser might not be the epitome of what a Devil should beโฆbut if there was one thing he truly cared aboutโฆit was his peerage.
'This isn't about Rias anymore, to hell with her! This is between me and that damned Nekoshou!' thought the member of the Phenex clan as the fire wings on his back reappeared, their blazing flames lighting up the night and contrasting the ominous glow from the green gems embedded in the red and black dragon wings.
