One month is not enough time to leave any obvious changes in the manor, at least in Leo's manor.
Although Leo left here with his group of spring members, the familiars in the manor continued to maintain the operation of the manor, so what this place was like when Leo and others left, it was still the same when they came back, without any changes.
Miyamoto Musashi did lead people from the Devil world to ambush here. During this month, he tried to make contact with those who were eyeing Leo and others. Leo's detection Demonic Power noticed that many such people were hiding near the manor, and they seemed to have been watching over the place.
However, those people did not enter the manor, probably because they did not want anyone to notice their traces.
"Unfortunately, it's of no use."
Leo shook his head.
Since Leo can detect their existence, others should be able to as well.
There is no way, the Devil world cannot send too many powerful people to station here, let alone Maou-Class, even Ultimate-Class Devil has a very noble status in the Devil world. Without special circumstances, asking them to guard a group of new generation Devil who have not yet debuted is simply a waste of resources and manpower.
The Devil who will be sent to garrison are basically the dependents Devil, even Miyamoto Musashi. Devil with high status will not appear here to wait and wait, and their time will not be so cheap.
Therefore, the people who will be sent will be a group of High-Class Devil. There is probably only one Miyamoto Musashi with Ultimate-Class Devil level strength. It is naturally impossible for such a group of people to escape Leo's Magic Detection. It is also very difficult to escape the investigation of those powerful and thoughtful people.
"You still have to rely on yourself."
Leo's sense of urgency has actually disappeared a lot.
From this trip to Underworld, both he and his family members gained a lot.
Now they have the initial ability to deal with various dangers.
Therefore, Leo no longer feels the danger as before.
"By the way, we have to contact Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri."
Leo remembered this incident.
He had made an appointment with Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori a long time ago, and he wanted to tell them when he came back so that they could exchange information.
"It's still early, they should already be in school, right?"
Leo glanced at the sky outside, then unfolded the contact magic square on the palm of his hand and began to contact Sona Shitori.
However, after waiting for a long time, Leo did not receive a response from Sona Shitori.
Leo contacted Rias Gremory again and found that she did not respond either.
"Forget it, let's wait until tonight."
Leo was not suspicious, this was not a strange thing.
Both Sona Shitori and Rias Gremory attach great importance to their status as students. They cherish their time at school at Human World and have deep feelings for the Kuoh Academy. Therefore, during school hours, unless it is a particularly urgent contact, they will not accept other people's communications casually.
Leo This is not the first time this happened, so I didn't have any suspicion.
But when Leo tried to contact Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori in the evening, but failed to contact them, he finally felt something was wrong.
"Is something going to happen?"
Leo frowned, then quickly came to the basement and walked into the Rubik's Square.
"Zheng----"
The magic square begins to emit red light, intending to take Leo with it to Spatial Teleportation and go to the Kuoh Academy.
But before the red light reached its brightest, the magic square slowly stopped operating, causing the red light to dim.
This scene made Leo's face finally sink.
He knew what this phenomenon meant.
This means that this time the magic square jump was either interfered with by unknown reasons, or the destination of the jump was blocked.
Kuoh Academy, something happened.
Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kuoh Town.
When night began to fall, a bright red magic square appeared unexpectedly outside Kuoh Town, causing a group of people to appear here quietly.
"If you use the magic square to jump, can you only jump outside the town?"
Leo came to Kuoh Town with his family members, and everyone looked very serious.
Especially Leo, Yukino Yukinoshita and Ram, their expressions became solemn when they saw Kuoh Town under the night.
"What's going on?" Yukino Yukinoshita's expression changed and he said, "Why do you feel that the flow of power in the entire town is distorted?"
Yukino Yukinoshita is the only person besides Leo who has learned the method of Magic Detection, so she easily discovered the anomaly of Kuoh Town.
On the side, Ram closed his eyes and raised his head, seeming to be sensing something.
The Wind Magic she is good at is originally an attribute closely related to the atmosphere. In addition, she also possesses a secret skill called clairvoyance, which allows her to share wavelengths and vision with other creatures, allowing her to see places thousands of miles away. Even if she has not specifically learned Magic Detection's methods, her detection ability is not weak at all, and is even better than Yukino Yukinoshita.
Moreover, unlike Yukino Yukinoshita, Ram is also a magician.
Then, she noticed the reason for the abnormality of Kuoh Town.
"The underground of this town has been carved with an extremely powerful destructive force Spell Formula. Once activated, the entire town will be destroyed instantly."
Ram revealed information that made everyone blush.
"Due to the effect of Spell Formula, the flow of power in the entire town has become distorted and chaotic, so the magic square jump destined for the area inside the town will be interfered with and cannot proceed smoothly."
Although it was not an artificial blockade, the existence of destroying Spell Formula almost clearly told everyone that someone was causing trouble in Kuoh Town.
"Is this the reason why the contact with Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri will be invalid?" Leo thought with a frown, while looking at Ravel Phenex, and said, "How is it? Have you contacted Underworld?"
"Yes, we have already contacted them." Ravel Phenex had already deployed a small Rubik's Cube in his hand, and said in a prepared voice, "They are already taking action, but considering that even Human World, we can only move outside the town, it will probably take a long time for the people over Underworld to come over."
"What should we do?" Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but said, "We have to wait here for Underworld's people to come over before taking action?"
"No." Asuna Yuuki said anxiously, "It will definitely be too late."
It is indeed possible that it will be too late.
If Kuoh Town's underground destruction of Spell Formula starts before Underworld's people arrive, then everything will be too late.
By then, Gremory Peerage and Sitri Peerage who are in Kuoh Town are expected to die together.
"Who is doing this kind of thing?" Mahiru Shiina said softly, "Is it that Old Satan Faction again?"
"Not necessarily?" Rem also whispered, "If there are really two people who are extremely close to the Demon King living in this town, then there will be more people keeping an eye on this place."
Rem, who has never seen Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori, would think so, which is also a very objective thing.
Think about it, the Demon King's sister lives in a place like this, and there are two of them. Let alone Old Satan Faction, any force that has a bad relationship with Devil will want to do something.
Those two people are too obvious as self-targets, and the power around them is limited, so attacking them is very cost-effective.
This kind of thing never happened before, just because Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori are the sisters of the Demon King, and the fact that they still live in Kuoh Town has not spread widely, and Three Factions has been in a state of recuperation before, and they no longer intend to fight each other, so they have been living in peace.
But once the situation changes and the situation begins to change, then the situation of Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori will never be so peaceful again.
"Spell Formula who destroyed the town----"
Leo squinted his eyes and looked at Kuoh Town not far ahead, probably already guessing what happened.
This happened once in the original work, and because it was quite important, Leo still has an impression of it.
Just----
"There seems to be something wrong with the time, right?"
If he remembered correctly, this incident should have happened after Riser Phenex came to Kuoh Town to force him to get married. He wanted Rias Gremory to fulfill the engagement with him, but was brutally beaten by Issei Hyoudou. The engagement was terminated, and he suffered from psychological trauma, right?
The time when Riser Phenex came to Kuoh Town to force her into marriage seemed to be shortly after Issei Hyoudou became Rias Gremory's dependent.
Calculating the time, it should be right around the time when Riser Phenex was about to force her to get married, and the destruction of Kuoh Town happened much later.
Why did it happen now?
Leo is puzzled.
In fact, Leo didn't know that after dealing with Riser Phenex last time, the other party no longer dared to underestimate him.
Although Riser Phenex was a bad boy, he was not a fool. After seeing how unusual Leo was, he immediately went back to collect all the information about Leo and learned a lot about him.
Among them, Leo and Rias Gremory have a close relationship. Even though they have not known each other for a long time, they have already established a friendly and mutually beneficial relationship.
Coupled with Sirzechs's intentional or unintentional guidance and the discussions between him and Phenex Clan's Clan Head, now Phenex Clan no longer looks like The original novel was so eager to fulfill the engagement, but Riser Phenex was also afraid of taking action because he was afraid that Leo might intervene, so the matter was shelved.
As for the destruction of Kuoh Town, the reason why it was brought forward was also due to the impact of the last attack of Leif·Trix with Old Satan Faction.
Because of that incident, the existence of Kuoh Town, Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori all entered the attention of all forces faster than the original work. Therefore, not only Leo was targeted, but Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori were also targeted by people with intentions, which made this incident earlier.
Leo, who had not thought of this, did not think too deeply about this matter.
This world is originally different from the original work. None of Leo's dependents were originally from this world, but now they appear one by one. Some people have Sacred Gear that should belong to other characters, and even themselves have become the host of "Zenith Tempest". Even if there are any changes, it is not something that cannot be understood.
The top priority right now is not to dwell on such trivial matters, but the safety of Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori.
"Let's go."
Leo expressed his attitude in one sentence, and five pairs of bat-like Devil Wings instantly spread out from behind, flying in the direction of Kuoh Town.
"Uh!" "Uh!" "Uh!" "Uh!" "Uh!"----
Yukino Yukinoshita and others immediately spread their wings one after another, followed Leo's figure without hesitation, and flew towards Kuoh Town together.
They were extremely fast, like sharp black arrows in the dark night, breaking through the high wind while rushing towards the direction of the Kuoh Academy.
suddenly--
"Gah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh -
1
A vicious roar sounded.
"Be careful!"
Yukino Yukinoshita and Ram were the first to speak out, causing everyone present to react.
Almost at the same time, several huge fireballs struck from below the night sky, illuminating the darkness while blasting towards Leo and his party with a heat wave.
"!!!"
The fireball exploded quickly and turned into rolling Fire Wave, forcing the group of Leo who had gathered together to separate and dodge in one direction.
"Over there!"
Yukino Yukinoshita spotted the attacker with sharp eyes.
It was a huge thing above the ground.
It was at least ten meters tall. It was all black and looked like a dog but not a wolf. It had white breath coming from the tip of its nose, and its eyes were blood red, shining fiercely in the night.
Of course, this is not the most obvious feature.
The most obvious characteristic of the opponent is its three vicious heads.
"Three-headed dog?"
Asuna Yuuki was stunned.
"Cerberus!"
Ravel Phenex exclaimed in surprise.
"What is Cerberus?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka asked quickly.
"That is the watchdog of hell, the monster that originally lived around Gate of the Underworld leading to hell."
Rem explained aloud.
"Why do the monsters from hell appear here?"
Mahiru Shiina asked a question that no one could answer.
"----The situation is a bit troublesome."
Ram has been collecting information with clairvoyance, glanced at the ground, and then said these words.
Everyone soon knew why Ram said this.
"Gah!"
"Gaaaah!"
I saw that many new three-headed dogs appeared near the black three-headed dog.
Especially the three-headed dog that appeared at the end was not only several times larger than the other three-headed dogs, but also exuded a terrifying aura that made Yukino Yukinoshita and others move.
"King Cerberus----"
Leo looked at the extremely huge three-headed dog and slowly said the name.
