Somewhere in Europe, a coastal town.
There was a structure underwater…
The old Maou faction had Ingvild and had hidden her. They were still trying to wake her up, but they couldn't.
Nyx had found her, too, but there was no point in waking her without doing so.
A portal opened in the structure, and the guards' eyes widened: "ATTACK!!!!"
The devils raised their hands to cast magic, but a silver-haired man stepped out from inside and simply waved his hand.
Dismantle
All the devils' heads flew into the air…
The alarm started blaring.
A blonde, blue-eyed woman dressed as a witch appeared from the room, and a doll stood behind her.
The devils coming out of the rooms turned into ice statues the moment they approached.
This was Cassien and his peerage.
"YOU BASTARD!!" one devil shouted from the ground, his leg severed.
He raised his hand and a laser shot out from it, but the gray-haired woman—Cleria—stopped the magic with just her palm.
Completely worthless.
Cassien didn't even need to do anything; the guards were simply slaughtered…
Five people came out, and they were all high-class, but dark snakes surrounded them and drained their blood.
This was done by Valerie.
Her red eyes looked like they were judging these weaklings.
A door opened, and there was a sleeping woman inside—this was Ingvild Leviathan.
Cassien looked at her, and a drop of blood from his finger fell into Ingvild's mouth.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
It was as if she had awakened from a deep sleep; her body had reacted to Cassien's blood.
"W-where am I? What happened?" she said, and Cassien looked at her.
Cassien met her eyes: "I am Cassien Judex, a devil. Ingvild Leviathan, you were caught by sleeping sickness, caused by the Sacred Gear Nereid Kyrie. The Khaos Brigade found you and was about to wake you. We rescued you and woke you up instead…"
"My family! Where is my family?" she shouted and tried to stand, but fell to the ground.
Cassien lifted her: "Unfortunately, you've been asleep for more than 100 years… Your family died during that time. I'm sorry… but we can't stay here. We need to escape, or Nyx will come."
"I-I'll come with you…"
Ingvild stood up, and Cassien drew Yamato and opened a portal, but another teleportation magic appeared.
Cassien's eyes widened: "Everyone into the portal now!!!"
Everyone passed through the portal, but Cassien stayed behind.
Nyx appeared.
"Oh, I was curious who ruined my plan, but you're more interesting than I thought. The blood inside you… I'll give you a chance. Be mine," said Nyx.
But Cassien took a stance with Yamato, his hands turning into Devil Bringer: "Even if I can't beat you, I can make you feel pain."
"HAHAHAHAH" Nyx appeared right in front of Cassien and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into space with that single kick…
But Nyx's eyes also widened—cuts appeared on the veins in her neck and arms: "Y-you HAHAHAHHAHAHA."
