Rumble!
"Fufufu! Old relic, who said that we were finished attacking?"
Already changed into her Miko clothes, Akeno licked the tip of her finger with a sadistic smile. She lifted her hand toward the sky, and clouds gathered above Kokabiel while lightning poured down on him without stopping.
Thick columns of Holy Lightning crashed down from the sky one after another. Kokabiel grinned as he raised his hand high, summoning three magic circles to block her attacks.
Swoosh!
"Keep attacking and pressuring him, do not give him the opportunity to fight back!"
Sona stood behind them, directing the fight and giving orders. At the same time, she used her Telekinesis to tug at his many wings whenever she could, yanking his body downward to restrict his movements and make it harder for him to dodge the other women's attacks.
Kalawarna and Raynare flew through the air, three pairs of wings beating behind their backs. During this period of training, as their power increased, their wings had risen from a single pair that marked them as low-level fallen angels to a full six pairs.
"Kokabiel-sama, for the sake of our man, I will have to ask you to go and die!"
Raynare opened her mouth wide and inhaled deeply. Her flat stomach expanded, and a magic circle appeared in front of her mouth as she unleashed a far thicker and more powerful breath of fire. "Fire Dragon's Roar!!!"
The massive torrent of flames exploded forward, so hot that the air around it warped and burned as it sped toward Kokabiel.
"It would be bad if I got hit by this one!"
Kokabiel frowned as he saw the torrent of fire racing toward him. He tried to dodge desperately, but suddenly two distinct powers yanked him back, slowing his movements and making them sluggish. "Serafall's sister, Baraqiel's daughter! How annoying!"
He roared loudly as more than ten magic circles appeared before him, straining to stop the Fire Dragon's Roar.
"Not so fast, old bastard! Take my Fire Dragon's Roar as well!"
Aika shouted, adopting the same stance as Raynare. Soon, a pink-colored Fire Dragon's Roar exploded from her mouth, hurtling toward him, and Kalawarna followed suit, unleashing her own.
Given that Kokabiel was individually stronger than any of them, the girls worked together to overwhelm him and prevent him from attacking at full strength. If he managed that, it would be deadly for any of them. None of them were dumb enough to just sit there, waiting for their partner to finish an attack before taking their turn.
BOOOMMM! BOOOMMM!! BOOOMMM!!
Explosion after explosion erupted in succession, enveloping Kokabiel in an enormous fireball far larger than the previous one.
"Shit! Women are scary, really scary!"
Riser, standing not far from Yusuke, felt his legs go weak. He even felt the urge to pee. These women were insanely strong! If any one of them decided to fight him, he would be in a whole new world of pain!
"Yeah, they are scary, but also cute, don't you think?"
Yusuke glanced at him with a proud smile. He felt a surge of happiness seeing how strong Aika and the others had become.
"Ehhh! Don't bust my nuts! Please don't bust my nuts!!"
The moment Riser met Yusuke's gaze, his PTSD flared. He collapsed onto his butt and started crawling backward, shouting hysterically, snot and tears streaming down his face.
"What's wrong with him?"
Yusuke was taken aback by Riser's exaggerated reaction. He had only been trying to make small talk. Somehow, he felt a twinge of guilt for beating the shit out of him, taking his women, and planning to take even more.
He was also curious about what had happened to Riser's peerage, since he had actually added Issei and Saji to it, but he never expected him to react like this.
[A person who has never tasted failure their entire life, and then gets brutally abused by you, of course, you'll become their worst nightmare. It's already admirable that he managed to stand so close to you without losing his shit earlier.] the system informed him.
'So people like this actually exist, heh,' Yusuke thought in amazement. He couldn't relate to someone like Riser, since his entire existence had been the opposite. His life had been filled with suffering, failure, and rejection, which had taught him to accept failure in any form and keep moving forward.
Even when he failed, he never doubted himself, because from the very beginning, he saw himself as an absolute failure who did not deserve love or appreciation, though he still sought them anyway.
Yusuke decided to ignore Riser and do him a favor by keeping his distance. The man was already pitiful, and he didn't want to make him feel any more miserable.
BOOMM!
"Enough!!!!"
Falling from the sky like a scorched comet, Kokabiel struggled to stand, his body trembling. Half of him was burned, blackened, and charred, with scorched flesh and blood gruesomely visible. Two-thirds of his face was destroyed, leaving him unable to open his left eye. His head was mostly bald, with only a small patch remaining on the right. His left chest and neck were similarly burned, and on his left arm, parts of the bones were even exposed.
Kokabiel was not built for physical durability. Although far stronger than most, he did not possess an indestructible body capable of withstanding attacks. He wasn't an all-around xianxia cultivator, and three consecutive Fire Dragon Roars landing one after another would have killed him if not for the magic circles that absorbed most of the damage.
"I will kill you all!"
These stupid Devils were supposed to entertain him, not push him this far. He was Kokabiel! His name had been recorded in the bible since ancient times. He was the one who survived the battle against God and the past Maou.
How could he accept being trampled like this by a bunch of teenagers who were not even as old as the hair in his pubic area!
"I'll kill you all and destroy this cursed place with you as well!!!"
Spreading his arms wide, Kokabiel roared in fury. In the sky above him, a massive spear of light formed. It grew larger in a split second, then doubled again, swelling until it looked as big as a tall building and continued to grow even further.
Swoosh!
Puff!!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, blood poured from Kokabiel's left shoulder, spraying a small shower of red before his arm hit the ground. Behind him, Murayama appeared with her sword in hand. "I told you to shut the fuck up. And why are you spreading your arms like that? It is like you are begging me to cut them off."
Murayama swung her sword through the air, flicking the blood from the blade.
"...Impressive! Impressive indeed! You knew that with your speed alone, it was hard to land an attack on me, so you waited for me to lose focus before striking."
Kokabiel seemed to snap back to his senses. He stared at his severed hand on the ground and calmly used holy power to stop the bleeding. Then he let out a faint laugh. "But even if you are skillful and cunning, it is too late!"
"All of you will die!"
The spear of light that had grown to an enormous size still hung in the air above them. At his shout, it lurched downward and shot toward the ground. It was not aimed at anyone in particular, because once it exploded, no one would be spared.
"I won't let you!" Sona gritted her teeth and thrust her hand forward, trying to use her Telekinesis to stop it. All she managed to do was slow its descent.
"Me too! I won't allow this!" Murayama and Akeno added their own Telekinesis, pushing against it with everything they had.
The speed of the spear dropped sharply, but it was still moving.
"I'll blow it up!" Aika gritted her teeth, glaring at the spear hanging in the sky. She was about to unleash another Fire Dragon Roar when Tsubaki stopped her. "No, don't!"
"The impact would destroy the entire school and maybe even the whole town!"
"What should we do then?" Aika stared at her, then back at the spear, frustration written all over her face.
"Don't worry, I have a way."
Tsubaki flew into the air, then reached out to Yusuke. "Babe, can you please praise me?" In complete contrast to the tense atmosphere, her voice was sweet as honey, and her tone carried a playful hint of coyness.
"Sure," Yusuke's voice came from the other side, low and husky. "Tsubaki, you did great. You're the most perfect girlfriend I could ask for. And by the way, you look incredibly hot right now. I want to take you home and fuck your brains out."
"Ahn♡! This feeling! This is what I am looking for, ahn♡! Yusuke♡!"
Tsubaki felt a sudden surge of pleasure rising from the very depths of her soul, spreading through every cell of her body. Along with it came an explosive rush of power that flooded through her.
That was the effect of Yusuke's skill 'For the Master'. It was a skill that boosted his Gouderes stats by 40% whenever he praised them.
Tsubaki had asked him to praise her earlier because she wanted to activate this skill.
"What is she trying to do?" Xenovia and Irina exchanged confused glances.
"Hahaha! Are you trying to stop my Holy Light Spear?! How foolish! To devils, holy light is the most dangerous poison! Go on, I want to see how you get yourself killed!"
Kokabiel flapped his wings and laughed at Tsubaki with open contempt. He had no worry at all about any of them stopping his attack. Once it landed, all these disgusting Devils would die.
As for his allies, Freed and Valper, who would be caught in the blast as well, why should he care about them?
The additional boost made Tsubaki feel even more confident. Ignoring Kokabiel's arrogant words, she flew straight toward the spear. When she was just a short distance away, she spread her hands wide and summoned her Sacred Gear. "Mirror Alice."
Crack!
Getting a little closer, the Spear of Light struck the mirror, and unsurprisingly, it shattered. It was no match for an attack unleashed by an Ultimate Class fallen angel.
However, the damage that should have struck Tsubaki did not occur. On the contrary, the Spear of Light doubled in size, reversed direction, and shot back toward the sky before detonating midair.
BOOMMM!
The night sky suddenly brightened, the intense light spreading in all directions. Everyone was forced to shut their eyes against the blinding glare.
