The Fallen Angels' Ambush (4K)

Just the abilities she had displayed in the intelligence alone amounted to several formidable powers.

Her lower limit was at least Demon King Class...

More importantly, she did not belong to any faction. If she could turn this person into one of her peerage, it would undoubtedly be an excellent thing for her.

Although the Blood Moon Princess had offended many factions, it had not escalated to the point of irreconcilable blood feuds. Most of the people she dealt with were below Demon King Class.

The fact that the Blood Moon Princess was still alive and well proved it.

Even if there were any problems, as long as she became part of her peerage, having her sister step in would be nothing... This deal was well worth it.

"I wonder what relationship this Blood Moon Princess has with Tosca..."

They were both similar to vampires. Could they be from the same race?

Thinking of Tosca's reaction to Miss Moonlit, Sona felt that was possible. If she turned the Blood Moon Princess into her peerage, Tosca presumably would not refuse anymore, right?

Sona Sitri still had quite a few devil pieces left unused. Although she had already used the most important "Queen," she had even used two "Pawn" pieces.

But she still had a mutated piece in hand. Even if the Blood Moon Princess possessed heaven-defying potential, she could still successfully reincarnate her. With the power of devil pieces, the already powerful girl might very well rise to another level.

The higher a person's abilities, the more pieces were required. For example, because of the Sacred Gear within the Dragon Emperor, all eight Pawn pieces had been used.

After the devil piece system was completed, some pieces would develop errors and become mutated pieces. A single piece could be used to turn someone who required multiple pieces for reincarnation into a reincarnated devil.

In the original work, because of Gasper's vampire bloodline and his half-Sacred Gear, his reincarnation conditions originally required more than a single Bishop piece. Yet he still became a reincarnated devil with just one mutated piece in place of multiple pieces.

After pondering for a long time in the student council office, Sona Sitri still intended to turn the Blood Moon Princess into her peerage.

But judging from Tosca's attitude, she was probably not simple either.

Before taking in this troublesome vampire, she had to make sure she would not do anything unacceptable in Koma Village.

After all, one could not be too careful around someone so dangerous.

"Come on. Let's pay a visit to the Occult Research Club."

Rising to her feet, Sona Sitri informed the peerage members beside her, then headed straight for the woods behind Kuoh Academy.

The Occult Research Club was located there.

And just like the name of the club, everything here was filled with an air of mystery and eeriness.

The building looked ancient, though the windowpanes were completely intact. Moss and vines wound around the old schoolhouse, and the scent of age rushed at them. Old schoolhouses like this had always been the birthplace of ghost stories and other occult tales.

Even the Seven Mysteries of Kuoh Academy had spread from this very place.

The academy's students rarely set foot in this deserted area, aside from the devils who dwelled within the academy.

Old buildings often had layer upon layer of cobwebs and thick dust, but neither could be seen in this old schoolhouse. Clearly, someone cleaned it regularly.

A sign hung outside one of the rooms on the second floor: Occult Research Club.

The name alone gave off an inexplicably impressive feeling, making people unable to resist investigating out of curiosity.

Every corner of the room was covered in mysterious writing, strange characters that had never been seen before. They covered the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling.

The strangest thing was the circular formation in the center.

The formation occupied more than half the room. It looked like a massive magic array, brimming with eerie and unusual energy, making the club's sense of mystery even more pronounced.

When Sona Sitri arrived with her people, every member of the Occult Research Club was present.

Including Rias and Kiba Yuto...

"Sona? Why are you here?"

Seeing the visitors, Rias looked somewhat surprised. Sona usually did not come here, so something must have happened.

"Rias, such an important figure has come to Koma Village. Haven't you noticed anything at all?"

Looking at the red-haired beauty before her, Sona got straight to the point.

Koma Village was Rias's territory. Sona was only here because her good friend had pulled her in.

Still, Sona sympathized with her situation. As daughters of high-class demon families, they had no choice in marriage. They had to enter political marriages to ensure the purity of High-class Pureblood Demon bloodlines.

Unlike Rias, Sona Sitri had originally had a marriage arrangement as well, but she had dissolved it through her own abilities. Rias, however, was still troubled by her engagement.

In the Rating Games of the High-class Demons, the victor could make their own decisions. If Rias wanted to break off her engagement, she had to defeat her fiancé.

But Rias currently had no confidence at all. Coming to the human world to manage Koma Village was also partly an attempt to escape the engagement.

"An important figure? What are you talking about, Sona?"

Rias did not react at first. She genuinely did not know of any important figure, though she had clearly sensed that something had been off in Koma Village these past few days.

No, it was not just Koma Village. Something seemed wrong across the entire Island Nation.

The main cause seemed to be related to the Fallen Angels. She did not know what those people were planning. Could a High-class Fallen Angel have come to Koma Village?

That would not be good!

The Three Factions were currently in a period of peace. By all rights, the higher-ups of each faction were not allowed to enter another faction's territory, especially without permission.

"You really didn't know!"

"The Blood Moon Princess has already come to the academy."

Shaking her head, Sona found Rias's control over Koma Village clearly lacking. Such a dangerous person had entered her territory, yet she had failed to notice immediately.

"The Blood Moon Princess? You mean that White-Haired Blood Demon Princess? Wasn't she always active in Europe and America? Why would she come to Koma Village..."

Rias was no stranger to the Blood Moon Princess. She had discussed her with Sona before, but since the other woman had always been active on other continents, Rias had not paid much attention.

She had not expected her to come to the Island Nation, much less appear at the academy.

Then Rias suddenly remembered something.

"Could she be that girl from this morning?"

Rias had been dealing with an important matter related to Demon Flyers. Only after she finally finished handling it had she heard rumors at school that an unbelievably beautiful girl had arrived that day, perhaps even more beautiful than herself...

Rias had been curious about what she looked like. She had not expected her to be the Blood Moon Princess.

But she could not understand why such a dangerous person had appeared at Kuoh Academy. If she had come with hostile intentions... it was hard to say whether they could resist her.

"Blood Moon Princess? President, is she dangerous?"

A girl beside them who looked like an elementary school student and was incredibly cute asked curiously. She sounded like a very formidable person!

"Extremely dangerous! Quite a few people would flee at the mere mention of her name."

Rias answered very seriously. The Blood Moon Princess had quite a few devil admirers in the Underworld.

Chainsaws! Beautiful girls! Slaughter! Dismemberment! Cruelty!!

It was practically nonstop bait for some devils' preferences!

But many people were also terrified of her, especially those who had witnessed the Blood Moon Princess slaughtering others. The sight of her cutting people down with a chainsaw was enough to frighten even devils.

"Is she like a Demon King?"

Seeing her club president's attitude, Koneko became even more curious.

"Hard to say. At the very least, there have been no reports of her possessing Demon King Class strength. Her methods are simply terrifying!"

Rias shook her head, uncertain of the Blood Moon Princess's strength. Conservatively, she was at least at the highest rank, which was already frightening enough.

At present, Rias herself was only barely comparable to a Higher Demon, and that was when she unleashed her full strength.

"Oh my, Kiba-kun, could it be that you know the Blood Moon Princess? Your expression changed quite a lot."

At that moment, the girl beside Rias with a black ponytail, exquisite features, and the appearance of a classic Japanese beauty smiled at the only boy beside her, Yuto.

Though she was a high school student, she gave people the impression of a Yamato Nadeshiko. She was Rias's "Queen," the vice president of the Occult Research Club, and Kuoh Academy's second most popular girl after Rias: Akeno Himejima.

"I seem to have heard that Kiba-kun came to school today with a beautiful girl who was no less lovely than our club president."

Akeno Himejima added, seemingly unconcerned about making trouble, causing everyone to subconsciously look at both her and Kiba Yuto.

Only then did they notice that Kiba Yuto's expression was indeed somewhat complicated.

He really was connected to the Blood Moon Princess?

They had never heard Kiba Yuto mention her before...

"Yuto, what is your relationship with the Blood Moon Princess?"

Rias did not maintain a strict superior-subordinate relationship with her peerage. Instead, she treated them like friends and family. Her tone was gentle as she questioned Kiba Yuto.

"Sorry, President. I did not mean to hide it. I can only say... Lady Moonlit is my benefactor."

"Your lifesaver?"

Hearing Kiba Yuto's words, Sona Sitri habitually pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Sure enough, rumors could not be trusted entirely. The Blood Moon Princess was not as insane as imagined. She could be communicated with. Judging from her previous attitude and the fact that she had saved Kiba Yuto's life, she was just like a normal person.

Perhaps her combat methods were merely somewhat cruel!

None of that mattered. She was absolutely worth recruiting.

The competitive pressure among devils was immense. Having a powerful peerage member was undoubtedly a wonderful thing.

"So she's Yuto's benefactor? It seems the situation isn't so bad after all."

Rias's attitude also clearly changed. She believed in Kiba Yuto's character.

Although the vampire lady was dangerous, she was not impossible to approach.

"How about this? We won't force you. Yuto, just tell us a little about the Blood Moon Princess's personality and character, so we can avoid anything unpleasant happening. Is that all right?"

"This... all right!"

After hesitating for several seconds, Kiba Yuto did not want Rias and Miss Moonlit to come into conflict either. Avoiding the core information he knew, he simply described Miss Moonlit's personality as he saw it.

Clearly, Miss Moonlit had never been a dangerous presence in his eyes. She was a wonderful big sister.

She had saved him at the very end of his life. If she had wanted his Sacred Gear, she could have acted then; there had been no need to save him.

Not only that, she had been willing to spend tremendous effort and several months gathering information on Tosca, all to rescue his companion.

Even then, she had felt guilty and given him compensation no worse than a Sacred Gear.

How could such a big sister possibly be as dangerous as the president and the others claimed?

"Then it seems the Blood Moon Princess is not as dangerous as the intelligence suggests. On the contrary, she seems to be a good person."

"Her enrolling in the academy might not necessarily be a bad thing, right?"

After hearing Kiba Yuto's description, the others' worries about Miss Moonlit lessened considerably, though their vigilance could not disappear completely.

"Not necessarily! If the Blood Moon Princess enrolls here, she'll pose a huge threat to our club president!"

Akeno Himejima said with a smile as she stroked Koneko's head.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing her words, the others did not understand. Could the Blood Moon Princess have some conflict with Rias?

"Oh dear, don't you know? Everyone at school is saying the Blood Moon Princess is even more beautiful than our club president! So once she enrolls..."

"My, my... it seems our club president's position as the most popular girl may be gone. President, do you feel a sense of crisis?"

Akeno Himejima voiced her opinion. She had just heard about this beauty from other students. After all, girls capable of threatening the president's looks were truly rare.

She was very interested, though she had not expected the girl to be so dangerous.

Of course, she was merely teasing her club president.

"Akeno..."

After hearing Akeno Himejima's words, Rias immediately pressed a hand to her forehead in exasperation.

She had thought it was something important!

Who cared about that?
