However, as the two spears of light were about to hit the girl, they strangely stopped in front of Miss Moonlit, completely still.

It was as if they had been paused!

"How is this possible?"

Seeing her attack halted, Raynare's pupils widened. She continued to attack, creating seven or eight more spears of light and firing them all at once.

However, Miss Moonlit simply raised her hand and waved, causing these spears of light to turn into dots of light and vanish.

"As expected, a brainless idiot fallen angel..."

With such a huge gap in strength, this guy was still foolishly attacking. It would only make her angrier!

Was she afraid of dying too slowly?

"This is the end."

Before her voice faded, Miss Moonlit's body instantly disappeared.

Raynare couldn't react at all. The girl had already appeared behind her and grabbed her pair of dark wings.

Then, with a strong pull, she cruelly tore off her two wings.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

A scream of agony rang out, and then in the next second, another powerful force struck. Raynare collapsed powerlessly onto the ground.

"Alright! You can die for a while!"

Before she could finish listening, Raynare completely lost consciousness.

Looking at the corpse of the fallen angel girl before her, Miss Moonlit prepared to try out the "Sephiroths Cup" resurrection and its power to subvert the laws of life later.

Whether to subjugate her was another matter. For now, she would use it to practice the power of the Holy Grail, making good use of a waste! Speaking of which, this fallen angel was not only stupid but also had one-sided feelings for Azazel, and she had quite a few thoughts.

It was a pity that Azazel currently wasn't interested in women and was only obsessed with researching Divine Artifacts.

Walking to Issei Hyoudou's corpse, Miss Moonlit was surprised to find that he wasn't completely dead. Perhaps it was due to the Sacred Gear within him, there was still a sliver of life...

But in reality, it was no different from being dead. Even rushing him to the hospital immediately wouldn't save him.

"I'll help you revive, all I need in return is the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet!"

Staring at Issei Hyoudou's corpse, Miss Moonlit said, no longer hesitating, she began to use the "Holy Grail" to revive and heal him.

Issei Hyoudou, who had already died, the massive wound on his chest quickly healed, and his body rapidly recovered. Before long, he was completely restored to his original state.

However, he had not woken up yet...

After successfully reviving Issei Hyoudou completely, Miss Moonlit proceeded to strip him of his Sacred Gear.

"Buzz!"

At that very moment, a crimson light erupted, and a red magic circle appeared not far away.

Immediately after, Rias, with her red hair, teleported over from within the magic circle.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Miss Moonlit's actions, Rias instinctively spoke out to stop her.

However, Miss Moonlit didn't listen at all. Instead, she multitasked, her gaze flashed with light, and she unilaterally time-stopped Rias!

Indeed, if she hadn't appeared.

This would have been the moment Rias appeared, used the Devil Chess Pieces to revive Issei Hyoudou and reincarnate him as a demon, thereby gaining a Servant with a Sacred Gear.

And Issei Hyoudou would have thus begun his great undertaking as the King of Harem.

But the girl wouldn't give up the Sacred Gear she had obtained just because of some "original story." Even if she didn't need it herself, selling it would fetch tens of thousands of crystals!

The stripping of the Sacred Gear by the system went very smoothly. At this time, Issei Hyoudou was still unconscious, only feeling pain instinctively, as if something most important was about to leave him.

Accompanied by a massive dragon roar, everyone in Koma Village seemed to hear it. At the same time... Miss Moonlit's second Sacred Gear was finally obtained.

"This is... the Sacred Gear, the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet!"

Looking at the Sacred Gear she had obtained, it was indeed completely different from the Holy Grail. She seemed to see that incredibly arrogant Heavenly Dragon, who didn't even put the Four Primordial Demon Kings or the God of the Bible in his eyes.

Although he paid the price for his arrogance, along with another Heavenly Dragon, they were both made into Divine Artifacts.

Having obtained the Sacred Gear, the girl didn't rush to integrate it into her body immediately. This was a Sacred Gear, not an ordinary Divine Artifact. If it weren't for the system's power stripping it, ordinary people would find it difficult to control.

In short, without spending crystals, if she wanted to master this Sacred Gear herself, Miss Moonlit would have to face that Red Dragon Emperor.

Unlike the Holy Grail before, although the Holy Grail contained a trace of the God of the Bible's consciousness fragment, it was very weak. Coupled with Ai-chan having taken the money and actually done the work, everything went smoothly.

But the consciousness within the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet was not a fragment, but the complete consciousness of the Heavenly Dragon, and even the will of the previous hosts of the Red Dragon Emperor.

They all walked the path of the Overlord, yet were cursed beings.

This time, in mastering the Sacred Gear, Miss Moonlit would not spend crystals. She knew Ai-chan would definitely rip her off again, so she chose to face it herself...

She couldn't rely on the system's power for everything.

With Miss Moonlit's ten thousand years of longing, she was confident she could master this Sacred Gear.

After putting away the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet, Miss Moonlit finally released Rias from the time stop.

"You..."

Rias recovered, unaware that Miss Moonlit had already taken possession of Issei Hyoudou's Sacred Gear while time was stopped.

She just felt that something strange had happened.

Without time to think further, Rias walked over to Issei Hyoudou, checked his body, and then wore an expression of disbelief.

Aside from a lot of bloodstains, this student named Issei Hyoudou had no wounds. What made her expression change even more was that the aura of the Sacred Gear on Issei Hyoudou had completely vanished!

Recalling the strange feeling from earlier, Rias looked up at Miss Moonlit beside her.

"Miss Moonlit, what did you just do?"

With that strange power, coupled with Issei Hyoudou's resurrection and recovery, how many powerful abilities did this Blood Moon Princess possess?

"Theresa didn't do anything."

However, Miss Moonlit stood with her hands behind her back, wearing an innocent and adorable expression that was incredibly charming. She directly denied doing anything, as Rias didn't know anyway.

"..."

Rias was speechless for a moment.

"Since Rias is here, I'll leave this to you. I'm heading back now."

With the matter concluded and having gained a lot, Miss Moonlit prepared to leave. As for the cleanup, wasn't that Rias's job in the first place?

After all, Koma Village was her area of responsibility.

"Wait a moment, Miss Moonlit, where is his Sacred Gear?"

Seeing Miss Moonlit about to leave, Rias grabbed her wrist.

She was certain that Issei Hyoudou had possessed a Sacred Gear before, and it wasn't just any ordinary Sacred Gear, otherwise, why would he have been targeted by both Fallen Angels and the Blood Moon Princess?

Neither Miss Moonlit nor the Fallen Angels would be interested in ordinary Sacred Gears; even the lowest-ranking Fallen Angels disdained Sacred Gears like the Dragon's Hand.

Their standards were high, especially since the Fallen Angel Governor possessed the technology to create artificial Sacred Gears and the ability to strip Sacred Gears. They had acquired quite a few Sacred Gears over the years.

Before, she had tried so hard to invite this beautiful vampire to become her Servant, but she refused and instead wanted to make Rias her Servant.

Now, having finally found such a promising prospect, she had gone and stolen his Sacred Gear.

Rias had already prepared to reincarnate Issei Hyoudou...

Was this vampire girl her nemesis?

However, Rias couldn't understand how this Blood Moon Princess had transferred Issei Hyoudou's Sacred Gear; even with the Fallen Angels' technology, it shouldn't have been this easy.

"Sacred Gear? What Sacred Gear? I don't know what Rias is talking about."

Miss Moonlit put her hands on her hips and spoke righteously.

Although in the original story, Issei Hyoudou was Rias's Servant, nothing had happened yet.

"Does Rias want a Sacred Gear? If you had said so earlier, I would have saved one for you."

"What kind of Sacred Gear does Rias want? If you agree to become my Servant, I'll satisfy you."

If Rias became her Servant, it wouldn't be a big deal to help her get a Sacred Gear. If her Servants were strong, she would also receive feedback!

"..."

Looking at the righteous vampire girl before her, Rias realized for the first time that she had such a side to her.

It was a bit shameless, but surprisingly cute.

"Stop playing dumb, Miss Moonlit."

"Besides, you know I'm a pure-blooded Demon, so Sacred Gears aren't of much use to me."

Rias's tone softened, and she understood... even if Miss Moonlit had taken Issei Hyoudou's Sacred Gear first, she had no right to say anything.

Even though Issei Hyoudou was a promising prospect she had noticed earlier.

It was just inexplicably irritating...

"Pure-blooded Demons can't possess Sacred Gears, but that's not entirely true. The prerequisite is becoming my Servant."

Because of the Holy Grail's effect on Servants, Miss Moonlit discovered that she could transfer her power to her Servants by sharing life force.

Sacred Gears should also be possible, as long as they were handled properly.

Even if it didn't work, there were always combination skills.

Or perhaps modifying the Sacred Gear's settings; she couldn't do that... Ai-chan might be able to, but it would definitely cost Crystals.

"...This, I still can't agree."

This time, Rias didn't refuse as decisively. If she could truly wield an excellent Sacred Gear, it would undoubtedly be very tempting for her.

But was such a thing really possible? A pure-blooded Demon possessing a Sacred Gear...

Furthermore, even if she agreed to become a Servant, her family and brother wouldn't allow it.

High-class Demons are currently doing everything they can to maintain the bloodline of pure-blooded Demons. If she were to become a Vampire's Servant... even if, as her sister-in-law, Grayfia, guessed, Moonlit wasn't a Vampire at all, but just had some similar traits, they'd probably break her legs directly, right?

"What if it's a Sacred Gear?"

Seeing Rias's reaction, Moonlit spoke up again.

"A Sacred Gear?!"

Rias's breathing became noticeably heavier. If it were a Sacred Gear... she truly didn't know what her decision would be, which made her even more conflicted.

Although with her bloodline and talent, as long as she grew smoothly... she would undoubtedly become a Demon King Class existence.

But a Sacred Gear was still something that made her heart race...

Many powerful beings showed a rather indifferent attitude towards Sacred Gears, merely because they weren't Human. Even if they painstakingly acquired one, they couldn't unleash its true power.

After all, Divine Artifacts were specifically given by the God of the Bible to Humans, allowing them to live according to their own will.

"Classmate Rias, you can take your time to consider!"

The girl didn't continue speaking, nor did she care whether Rias agreed or believed her.

She also didn't intend to take Rias down right now.

The main reason was that Rias wasn't simple. Moonlit was certain... if she forcibly bit Rias, her brother and sister-in-law would be able to teleport in front of her the next second.

Miss Moonlit currently had no intention of fighting more than two Super Demon Kings.

No, it could even be said that she was completely at war with Demons!

She didn't doubt for a moment how much the current Lucifer valued his sister, and the other two Demon Kings also had good relationships, along with various other friends and family.

Demon Kings, Quasi-Demon Kings, who knew how many...

And that Miss Sona Sitri was in a similar situation; otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?

There was no need for it at all, the gain wouldn't outweigh the loss.

It's not like there were no other options
