I, the Masked Swordsman, started my journey through a Lostbelt.

The calamity did not dissipate after it was struck.

Instead, he turned and glared at Rias, who was floating with her jet-black wings spread out, and let out a low growl that escaped her control.

Take advantage of the fleeting moment when attention is drawn to them.

Tacheng Baiyin flashed by like a white shadow, successfully saving the citizens who had not been ravaged by the disaster.

"Get to a safe place quickly."

She quickly gave instructions to the people in distress.

Due to the extreme shock and the chaotic situation, the citizens were unable to react immediately.

Everything happened so suddenly.

"Quick! Don't stay here!"

Ta Cheng Baiyin had no choice but to shout sternly.

She, who usually doesn't shout, suddenly yelled, pulling the stunned citizens back to the harsh reality.

Rumble—!!

A purple thunderbolt swept towards the calamity of Toujou Shirayune, and Himejima Akeno, dressed as a shrine maiden, came to her aid.

However, the firepower is still severely insufficient.

Even the lightning strikes do not reduce the number of calamities; every time one is killed, dozens more will appear.

"Drink!"

Kiba Yuto cuts apart several calamities.

Holding the magic swords in both hands and using different abilities, the overwhelming calamities could not be fundamentally resolved.

He can temporarily mitigate the onslaught of disaster.

The city is not only the place where the Mysterious Society is fighting; other members of Kuoh Academy are also doing so.

The student council is also dealing with the disaster.

Although Rias is the local head of Kooh Town, this does not mean that only the Gremory Familia are here.

Another high-ranking demon is Sona from the Siddi family.

Rias and she had a close relationship.

As a member of the Bible community, it's impossible not to know this situation; I've heard my elders talk about it countless times since I was young.

Even demons have stories that terrify them.

This seems quite strange to outsiders, doesn't it?

Humans often add demons to stories to make them more terrifying, but these terrifying demons are also people who are afraid of them.

A hellish scene unfolded before my eyes.

Cangna uses water-attribute magic to control liquid water dragons, fighting against countless calamity torrents.

Rias used destructive magic to blast them apart.

The two women unleashed attacks powerful enough to destroy the entire street, swiftly eliminating hundreds of calamities blocking the street.

"roar--!!"

They immediately surged out again from the other end of the street.

Calamities seemed to keep coming back, and the two women who continued casting spells realized that something was wrong.

Even after eliminating them to this extent, the number can still increase.

It was as if they were deliberately not giving them a chance to breathe.

"Rias! This isn't working; these monsters don't seem to be moving blindly..."

"At first, they only attacked those who resisted... Those who hid by the roadside seemed to be fine... Do those monsters choose their targets? No, someone must be giving them orders!"

After a brief moment of thought, Rias came to a conclusion.

Such precision would be impossible without human intervention, and the anomaly would be apparent from an aerial view of the entire town of Kooh.

Not every road is paved.

Calamities were like dyes used to add color to a paintbrush, gradually being consumed as Morgan drew his formula.

The surging calamities quietly formed a magic array pattern.

The very center is the root of all calamity.

Following Rias's lead, we moved toward the center of the greatest pressure.

The sense of oppression became more and more obvious as we moved forward.

The air seemed to be filled with liquid poison, numbing the mind and consciousness, making the brain feel as if it were filled with lead and iron.

It barely managed to maintain its flight and avoid falling below.

If one were to fall carelessly onto a street rife with calamities, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They carried this burden and moved forward under such pressure.

What they convey is a sense of impending danger; living beings cannot tell them not to approach the center of stress.

Anxiety, restlessness, and other emotions create a storm in the brain.

"There! There's someone there!"

Following Sona, Tsubaki Shinra pointed towards the center of the city's crossroads.

Everyone turned to look in the direction she pointed.

"That's...that's a citizen...?"

Zhu Nai murmured in confusion.

Judging from his appearance, the other person was a young man in his twenties wearing a black suit. He was standing in the middle of the intersection without moving.

There was a woman's figure behind him.

It's quite strange.

Because the man's expression didn't seem to show any fear; on the contrary, he even seemed to have a slight smile on his face.

next moment!

His gaze shifted to the students and others in the Department of Mysticism and the Student Council, and just looking at them gave him a burning, tingling sensation.

An intensity of heat unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

They forced their souls to experience being in purgatory, where the heat was intense yet the killing intent felt like walking on thin ice.

The intertwining and twisting of forces distorted the fluctuations of will.

It makes them feel nauseous.

Upon making eye contact, one can sense the other person's abnormality, as if thousands of mournful cries echo in one's mind.

The chilling sensation pierced my spine, tearing at my soul like a snake.

Ugh!

The first to be unable to resist rejection was Kiba Yuto.

The demon's wings seemed paralyzed, unable to unleash their magic, causing him to plummet straight down from the sky.

It seems like once the first one starts, there's always a second.

First, members of the Department of Mysticism, and then members of the Student Council, fell one after another.

Like a crow shot by a hunter's bullet.

One after another, they fell from the sky.

Due to the demon's unique and powerful nature, it can remain unharmed even if it falls from a height of tens of meters.

Even more coincidentally, there was no calamity on the street where they fell.

Enduring the pressure that could crush his mental center, he used his willpower to support himself and get up with his hands.

"Thankfully... there are no monsters around here..."

Rias wiped her mouth, panting.

A sense of unease crept into my mind.

Were there really no monsters here just now?

They must have been afraid of the monster when they arrived here, which is why they didn't land. Now that they've fallen, there's no trace of the monster.

I looked left and right but couldn't find it at all.

As I pondered, the oppressive feeling that struck again crushed my thoughts, making it impossible to ignore the foreign object that had entered my field of vision.
