Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Supernatural
"Good job." Sirzechs stated. His voice was empty of his usual gleeful behavior. Grayfia also seemed a bit unnerved.
"Rias are you alright?" Akeno stepped forward taking one of her hands. They were shaking slightly.
"Y-yeah… yeah just fine." She coughed into her free hand to try and recompose herself. "I think we've done pretty good here, wouldn't you say?"
"For the moment, yes. Long term is uncertain." Grayfia brought up. "If even a small portion of what he said is true… I don't want to think about what anyone in this world would do with something like that. It was created by magicians but I can say for certain that not even Mephisto Pheles has created something of that magnitude. We are dealing with something more dangerous than if we were back in the Great War with Heaven once more."
"I think he was telling the truth all things considered." Kiba interjected. "No one that calm could come up with something that crazy and not mean it."
"Sociopath maybe?" Koneko argued.
"No… he's broken." Sirzechs cut off the talk of insanity. "His eyes still smile and still feel but you look a little further and you see cracks. His is a weight that nearly smothered him to death yet he continued on. It's been reforged but the cracks are still there. That makes him dangerous regardless. We have to look into his family to make certain that he isn't related to anyone that could be a threat either to devil society or the world."
"I shall inform Ajuka to begin compiling information about this boy. Best we be prepared for anything rather than get blindsided because his relation to other magicians would leave us vulnerable." Grayfia sighed as she created the teleportation sigil for Sirzechs and her to use.
"Since he agreed… can you do something to get around that rule, nii san?" Rias asked breaking the facade she had crafted of the professional.
"I shall talk to the others. I guarantee nothing though. His answer when the time comes will determine if it will even happen." Sirzechs scratched his head not looking forward to working on that particular front. Still it was for his younger sister so he decided it was worth a little pain.
"Thank you." Rias offered with a heartfelt smile as the two teleported back to their him in the Underworld.
"Come. Sleep now." Koneko pulled on Rias' sleeve. It was late and she still needed to place the paperwork for Ritsuka to join them at Kuoh Academy, which also meant dealing with Sona Sitri, the class president.
Ritsuka hit the bed faster than possible. He had really stepped into it now. Working with devils… that was a new thing though they didn't exactly feel like evil beings. That meant he had to treat it like he was dealing with any of the Hassans, who were all assassins, or even Moriarty. Keep an eye on them so they don't try anything stupid like kill regular humans.
That brought up a very damning piece of evidence though. The world was full of mana to the point of having the same feeling as Babylonia. This was a world where the Age of the Gods hadn't ended. Devils were one of the magical races that still lived out amongst humans almost in peaceful coexistence. With Devils being a race… that meant there were other races out there as well. Angels could be one since opposites were always a thing. Of course it meant that dragons could also be a things as well.
He needed to figure out how those class cards worked. He got lucky right now that the first beings he met were so accommodating.
Though with that recklessness came several answers to the countless thoughts he had during his conversation and deal.
One, peace had a spotlight on is emphasizing that those he met didn't want to fight useless battles.
Two, supernatural beings existed and lived amongst humans albeit hidden from general population.
Three, there was no will of Alaya or Gaia here on this world but it was still capable of existing without being purge timeline wise.
Four, magicians seemed to be a big deal but more in the sense of extra muscle or status of that was the direction that Rias was going for. More data was required.
'Tomorrow… I have to figure out class cards before anything else.' Ritsuka mentally categorized the most important things he needed to do before he started anything else. With over three hundred different class cards though, that was easier said than done.
Illya had told him that usually there were only seven class cards at any time… but with the amount of servants who contracted with him that was a horrible limitation. Merlin and Caster Gil made sure that that wouldn't be a problem ever again to Illya and Miyu' chagrin.
Sleep took over though Ritsuka set up a bounded field around him beforehand. He wasn't good at it but it would wake him up should anyone get too close to him. At the very least it would wake him up.
Rizevim writhed as the magic that was in the card traveled through his body. It examined him with abject disappointment. None of the others of the Chaos Brigade were near and Ophis had not deigned to even show her face around him out of hatred.
His arm burst off his body into a fountain of blood and putrid flesh before freezing him place. Had the magic the card had not been within him he would have passed out from shock. He could feel it even in the state he was in.
Several of his organs had been liquefied and forced through putrefaction. He didn't know why it was happening since he was the greatest devil to ever live.
'Worthless. Pitiful. Useless.'
The voice quickly shut off that train of thought before twisting his limbs until they tore completely off leaving them hanging by their tendons. He couldn't even scream as he was violated beyond what he thought was capable. Alive in a state of unending death while this force… this true demon, sculpted him into a form it wanted him to be.
