Kokabiel Descends, a God's Proclamation!

BOOM!!!

The once-clear sky suddenly went dark.

Rolling black clouds gathered above Kuoh Academy like spilled ink.

The air

filled in an instant with the acrid stench of sulfur and rotting feathers.

"Hahahaha!"

"At last, the day I've waited for has come!"

A shrill, maniacal laugh rang out.

In the empty sky,

a towering figure with ten black wings slowly appeared.

He was Kokabiel, a leader of the Fallen Angels' extremist faction.

Beating their leathery wings, they roared across the sky.

A dense mass of dark shapes

encircled Kuoh Academy in an instant.

On the school's tree-lined paths,

the members of the Gremory Family looked grim.

Sona adjusted her glasses, her voice severe.

"He came prepared."

Shinra Tsubaki rested a hand on the sword at her waist, keeping watch.

Rias looked up.

She gazed at the vast, dark army blotting out the sky.

Her red hair whipped in the wind.
