The Epic of Leviathan

Chapter 444: Aftermath...

[Kuoh Academy, Kuoh Town] 

Yachiru Unohana stood completely still while looking at the sky. She finally finished killing all the enemies and right now, she simply wanted to relish the moment. The kills weren't much by her standards but beggars can't be choosers. 

The former Devil Kings didn't know if they should approach the woman or not. The woman was still releasing a massive amount of bloodlust. Even though Serafall was scared of the woman, it didn't stop her from looking for her sister. 

Serafall's eyes finally landed on the rooftop. "Sirzechs-tan, they are on the roof" Serafall said while patting Sirzechs's shoulder and pointed towards the roof where both of their sisters were standing along with their peerages. 

Both Sirzechs and Serafall leapt into the air and leathery bat-wings appeared behind their backs as they flew towards the roof. The underlings they have brought along with them quickly followed the two of them. They didn't want to keep standing in the blood-soaked field. 

"So-tan!!" Serafall exclaimed loudly and engulfed her sister in a tight hug. Sona didn't try to get out of the hug and hugged back her sister. 

Serafall was quite surprised by the gesture. Usually, her sister never returned her hugs, especially in public places. Serafall simply decided to cherish the moment. It had been a tiring day for Sona. Today, she learned quite a few things about the real world.

On the other side, Rias was bawling her eyes out while hugging Sirzechs Lucifer. She was whining about the death of her servant but to be honest, internally Sirzechs was quite relieved. He was really grateful to Issei Hyoudou for saving her sister from her marriage but as a sis-con, he didn't want his sister to pursue the boy romantically. 

Issei Hyoudou has lost most of his value after losing his Sacred Gear and he kept hogging the pawn pieces of Rias Gremory even though his potential without the Boosted Gear would never be equal to 8 pawn pieces. It might sound cruel but this was reality and ultimately, they were Devils. 

Even though Sirzechs was internally glad, he didn't say anything out loud for now. He simply kept patting his cute little sister with a grim look on his face. For a moment, his eyes flickered towards the Exorcists but decided not to do anything since he wasn't the highest authority right now. 

"Don't worry, everything will be fine" Sirzechs said softly and kept petting his sister's head. 

"So-tan, what happened? Tell me everything" Serafall asked after some time as she wanted to know what was happening. 

Yes, she had seen the dead bodies but most of them were in a semi-liquid state. She had only received a short message from her sister's Queen saying that they were in danger. Serafall came here as quickly as possible after receiving the message. It was the same with Sirzechs too… he didn't know the exact details, he simply knew that his sister was in danger. 

So after hearing Serafall's question, Sona quickly started to recite the whole story from the beginning. The former Devil Kings kept frowning more and more as the story progressed. Both Serafall and Sirzechs wanted to reprimand their sisters for their stupidity but from the looks of it, Sona seemed to have learned her lesson. 

"So-tan, what you did was simply stupid and suicidal. You are a smart girl… I just hope that you have learned your lesson" Serafall said in a soft and firm tone. Sona simply nodded her head. 

Serafall turned towards Sirzechs. "We need to inform Lady Hela about this" Serafall said looking slightly worried but it was someone else who answered her question. 

"You don't need to bother, I have already informed her" everyone almost jumped out of their skin when they heard Yachiru Unohana's voice behind them. Unohana was back in her gentle and kind persona. Even after killing so many Devils, she didn't have an ounce of blood on her body. 

Unohana simply tilted her head with a confused look on her face when she noticed that everyone's was pale like they have seen a ghost. "O-Oh, is that so? Then it is good" Serafall stuttered out with a nervous look on her face. Unohana sullenly nodded her head and her eyes flickered towards the two Exorcists. 

"If you two want to stay then you could stay, as long as it is fine with the resident Devils" Unohana said kindly as both of them looked to be mourning the boy. Unohana could have saved him but he wasn't anything special, so untimely, it wasn't a huge loss. 

Only after a minute, Hela arrived along with Grayfia. Hela looked around and her gaze lingered over the two Exorcists for a moment before she decided to ignore them. They were even more pathetic than the ones she had slain in the Vatican. Hela looked down and she grimaced. 

"Yachiru, how the hell am I supposed to know how many you have killed?" Hela asked and Unohana simply smiled. Grayfia didn't know what to say, but she should have seen this coming. 

"That is something you never cared about until now" Unohana pointed and after a few moments, Hela gave a stiff nod. 

"Fair enough… but I still need to know who you killed" Hela said while rubbing her chin with a thoughtful look on her face. 

"Um… they were from Old Satan Faction and a Cadre level Fallen Angel. I recognized all of them before they died" Hela eerily glowing eyes focused on the young group of Devils. Sona Sitri's whole being shuddered in fear as Hela's gaze landed on her but she still held strong. 

"Sona Sitri, right?" Hela questioned and Sona confidently nodded her head even though internally, she was a nervous mess. "Good, you will be coming with me" Hela declared and Sona gulped loudly and nodded her head. 

"One of them did run away… I don't know his name. He was wearing a black armour and had brown hair" Unohana gave a small description as she remembered that one of her kills was able to escape due to outside interference. 

"I think you are talking about Shalba Beelzebub" Sona said with a thoughtful look on her face and Unohana simply shrugged as she had no idea about that Devil's name. 

"You also mentioned there was a Cadre, right?" Hela questioned and Sona nodded her head. 

"Yes, his name was Kokabiel" Sona answered. Hela's head snapped towards Grayfia who was standing with a stoic look on her face. 

"Arrange a group of Devils or whatever to clean this mess" Hela ordered and Grayfia politely nodded her head. 'Looks like I also need to deal with the Fallens. At least, this way, I will be able to get the three Factions under my rule' Hela thought maliciously as she disappeared along with Sona Sitri. 

Serafall wanted to freak out but she knew that freaking out wouldn't help. Now Serafall could only pray for her sister's safe return… 

[Knox, Kuoh Forest] 

"Kuroka, I think you should visit your sister" I said loudly from the couch. The said girl perked up and her head jerked in my direction. Most of the time she stays in our house but sometimes she leaves to meet her old friends and sister. Since Dora was out for a bike ride, the poor girl seemed to be taking a nap.

"What?! Did something happen?" Kuroka questioned groggily as she rubbed her eyes. Her loose kimono was barely doing its job of hiding her assets. If I didn't know better then I would have thought she was trying to entice me… Hmm… it is quite possible that she is trying to entice me. 

"Yes, you can say that but your sister wasn't hurt if you are asking about that" I said with a shrug and Kuroka hurriedly got up and gave me a grateful nod and moments later, she was gone. 

"No matter how much you try to hide it with your villain act, it is pretty clear that you are a big softie on the inside" Ororo said and poked my cheek. Hmm… I wonder how she reached that conclusion. 

"True… don't try to deny it! You are a big softie" Rumi added in a cheerful tone from the other side. Before I could formulate a retort a huge explosion shook the whole house and I had to use my Space Powers to stop Knox from falling down.

"I think I should ask Momo and Fleur to move their labs to the roof… at least that way they won't be bringing down the house" I said casually like nothing happened. 

"... Hmm… that is probably a good idea" Rumi pondered and Ororo took this chance and placed her head on my lap. I gave her a mock stink eye and started to fix the house with my Time Powers. Ororo snuggled closer into my lap with a goofy grin on her face. 

"So how did they end up blowing up our house?" Ororo asked curiously and I simply shrugged. 

"They probably mixed something they shouldn't have" Rumi said in a dismissive manner. That sounds plausible. 

Since the morning Momo, Jean, and Fleur have started working on the Life Line formula since Hela had finally finished translating the Tablet of Life and Time. From the looks of it, I think it is probably going to take some time…
