While Sona and her peerage were using Hypnosis Magic to gather the people on Kuoh Town.
Abandoned Church in Kuoh Town, Underground.
"Valper, I've already set up everything, proceed to the next phase of the plan" A tall, pale man with long black hair, and a generic evil villain face with red eyes sat on a throne-like stone chair as he ordered an old man with a priest attire.
"Of course, the holy sword Excalibur has been fused! But it's just four out of the seven Excalibur fragments, a shame really" The man, Valper Galilei, spoke with a matter of fact tone.
"That's more than enough, now stop stalling and make your move!" An irritated Kokabiel voiced out.
'This mere mortal! If it wasn't for this plan I carefully planned and prepared for years… Anyways, that ant will die sooner or later anyways' Kokabiel his eyes full of crazed intent, finally! His patience had been running thin! He wanted war, mutual destruction, negative emotions filling the atmosphere, and most of all, destroy the filthy entitled mongrels that inhabited these lands!
'Mere mongrels! Cockroaches with high reproduction! I'll start small with this town and kill that Sitri brat! Muheheheheheh, I can't wait to see that Leviathan impostor's expression when I—Mukukukuku—GAHAHAHA!' Kokabiel composed himself after having a laughing fit.
'The barrier will be able to last long enough for me to do my performance… I can't wait!'
In a inconspicuous corner, Ai watching the commotion before her. Her survival instincts on full throttle as she made use of her Stealth Magic at its full potential.
Ai dared not to mess up even in the slightest, she was relieved that she was able to send the distress signal earlier.
'The situation is more dangerous than it seems…' Kokabiel's strength were stronger than the intel she had acquired from before… this wasn't a mere [Super-class (Low)] being but a [Star-class (Low)] Powerhouse!
The danger, which were supposed to be a small crisis within the town have skyrocketed! This isn't something that she or Rias could handle anymore.
'I can't risk it, I might be found out once I take the chance to escape—but if it's for the safety of Jin-sama…' Ai took the risk, using all her Mana to create a direct spatial warp for the slim chance of warning Rias.
'Rias-sama, I hope you can take Jin and everyone else to safety'
"Who's there?"
*BOOM*
A loud boom was heard as Kokabiel's figure flickered to Ai's previous position.
"Space magic? How rare… I could only injure that insolent rat…" Kokabiel sensed the spacial magic lingering before pinpointing the location of the user.
"You think you can escape? This Town is under my full control…" Kokabiel spoke coldly as his gave chase.
…
Ai after warping spit out a mouthful of blood, she hurriedly contacted Rias wasting no time and not caring about her injuries.
"Rias, please take Jin and everyone else away from here… the situation is more dnagerous! Run! don't worry about me—"
"Ai? What's going—" Rias heard an evil laugh followed by what seems to be an explosion—
*BOOM*
An explosion sounded far away from the Student Council room where they using it as a temporary base occurred.
The explosion was big and loud enough to be seen and heard from such a distance.
Jin who heard the brief conversation between Rias and Ai was stunned.
'Ai's in danger! I—'
*DING*

He bagged two Ultimate-class (Peak) beauties and clinged to them like a koala! Though one of the beauties seems to be in danger]
"Yuuko! Make me your strongest sword right now! Fast!" Yuuko surprised, dis as she was told.
Jin grabbed the sword formed from her hands and…
Wasting no time, Jin leaped of through the window breaking it.
"Jin! What are you—" Rias while she was still trying to contact Ai shouted at Jin, surprised by his sudden movement.
*BOOM*
When Jin landed on the ground, his legs strained as the ground cracked due to the absurd strength he used, his figure blurred. Headed towards the explosion.
"Koneko, stay here and while I'm away you take charge!" Rias after saying her piece urgently hurried off to follow Jin.
…
While Jin was making his way towards Ai.
Ahe was trying her best to evade spears of light raining down on her using her Space Magic to the max.
'I hope that the time I provided will be enough for them to escape…' Ai thought naively, her IQ seems to have dropped due to her overwhelming desire for Jin's safety.
Even if she had sent the message earlier, Jin and the others wouldn't have been able to break the barrier from the inside, although Kuroka with her senjutsu and youjutsu combined were skillfull with the use of barriers, will find herself helpless against a barrier carefully and meticulously placed and reinforced by overloading it with mana for years.
Kokabiel had been preparing for years, just for this particular moment. He'd be stupid if he let such scenarios overlooked.
Kokabiel may be arrogant, but he dared not underestimate ants… well for now, his patience were running out.
Kokabiel had enough, he had his fill with playing and entertaining himself from the bug before him "Struggle you tiny ant! You think a useless hybrid like you will be able to escape from me! KAHAHAHAHA!"
Kokabiel formed a light spear that grew bigger and bigger until it was illuminating a part of Kuoh Town, they were in the park… That was now riddled with destruction, ground full of craters, and trees toppled and broken beyond recognition.
"Rejoice! As the first being to be the casualty of the war to be! To be crushed and killed by the reason of the war, ME! KOKABIEL!" Kokabiel hurled the spear at the figure before him.
Ai lying down on the ground, couldn't even lift a finger, the whole time they were "Fighting," Kokabiel as if afriad of dirtying his hands had only been hurling countless spears of light that rained down on her.
She watched as the light engulfed her sights—
*SQUEAK*
*BREAK*
The sound of a scratching noise followed by a breaking glass were heard.
Jin had sliced the spear in half.
"J-Jin-sama… no, you shouldn't be here… run" Ai's voice were low, her injuries severe.
Jin looked at the battered figure on the ground, her body were riddled with holes that had smoke coming out of them. And the disheveled and ripped maid outfit that she wore exposing some of her skin.
"Oh? A hero saving the damsel in distress? State your name! To be able to destroy my casual attack—"
Jin lifted Ai in a princess carry as his figure flickered.
"Ai, rest first… you don't have to worry anout anything, I'll be back"
Kokabiel looked at the arrogant figure that dared to ignore him, his face scowled at the insolent actions—
"Are you Kokabiel?" Jin asked, his voice on the edge of breaking.
"Indeed I am! I shall forgive you for your disrespect by killing—"
Kokabiel paused, he watched as a fist grew bigger as it hit his face. Crashing him down on the ground.
*BOOM*
The impact left a huge crater on the ground as Kokabiel felt the blood running down on his broken nose.
'Strong! How is his physical body so strong! Enough playing around!' Kokabiel clew in the air, his ten wings on full display as he used magic to heal his broken face.
"No time for words? Fine!" Jin watched as the fallen angel yapped.
He took a moment to look at the notification from the system as Kokabiel floated cautiously watching Jin.
[Task Reward 1 complete! Gained 150 Enhancement Points!]
Jin felt that it wouldn't be long before he stands at top due to his broken system, he decided to hold of on using any points and decided…
'Stop Kokabiel? Nah, I'd kill' Jin had never felt this angry before, his eyes narrowed as he focused on his form.
'I barely trained my magic and somewhat trained on swordsmanship, I just hope Yuuko's sword is durable enough… yeah this sword feels good to wield' Jin in a sheated stance, prepared to use [Sandanzuki].
Kokabiel gazed at the figure on the ground 'It seems this brat is inexperienced, that punch earlier was just his luck…'
Kokabiel decided to go all out anyways and Magic circles appeared beside him. Spears of light ready to strike down at Jin.
"Filthy Devil, be grateful! I Kokabiel consider you a true opponent worthy of my full power!" Kokabiel spouted some words before he signaled his hand. Spears of light rained down on Jin but he stayed motionless.
Jin after enhancing his Physique to the Star-class level felt the boundless strength in his body.
His senses overstimulated by the sudden increase of power.
Closing his eyes, he could feel everything around him as if he had a third pair.
Everything moved in slow motion as he took a deep breath.
[Sandanzuki]!
Kokabiel who was looking at the figure before him suddenly felt that his eyesight had been blocled.
His face contorted and his eyes focused on Jin now in front of him. He hurriedly activated a barrier witch blocked two fast slashes on his head when.
*Slash*
His left hand which were outstretched flew as it got cut down mercilessly by Jin.
Kokabiel reacted quickly and on his right hand condensed a light spear, swiping at Jin.
Jin blocked the attack and were flung away by a few meters.
Kokabiel, now aware of Jin's strength grabbed his flying hand and used magic to put it back on its place.
"Interesting! Your strength! Are you a touki practitioner?"
Jin felt annoyed at the Fallen Angel Yapper, his anger further increasing. He felt a surging heat in his chest and redirected that anger to his focus.
Jin once again leaped at the flying Kokabiel and this time he thrusted the sword in his hand towards Kokabiel's chest.
Kokabiel parried Jin's attack and maneuvered himself away from Jin, maintaining a distance as Jin gave chase.
Slash after slash, thrist after thrust, block after block, parry after parry, and explosions after explosions, were performed as the fight between them prolonged.
Kokabiel kept his distance as he conjured magic circles in every direction firing light spears.
Jin dodged and blocked as he weaved through the barrage of light spears chased down Kokabiel.
Kokabiel could only make use of projectiles to send Jin away and utilizing the condensed light spears in his hand to block or parry Jin's attacks.
Jin gradually felt more in tune with his strength and felt more his strength, instead of the feeling of his stamina being sapped, grew stronger…
'What the hell? I feel stronger… I don't feel my stamina dropping either…' Jin felt that nothing could stop him at the moment as he fought Kokabiel.
"ENOUGH!"
*BOOM*
Jin felt an explosion on his side as both him and Kokabiel were sent through the air.
Kokabiel who had enough of Jin's freakish strength, he felt that Jin was toying with him.
Kokabiel spread his arms as his body emitted light.
"Witness! This form that I have comprehended!"
The expanding light as if sucked by a black hole rushed towards Kokabiel's body.
Engulfing him with light.
"…"
…
Rias arrived at the location, shockingly watched as the two figures fought.
'Jin! How did you get this strong!?' Rias shook her head, and instead redirected her focus on the missing Hayasaka Ai.
She flew close to the ground as she used magic to scan for Ai 'There she is! Her
Injuries… its full of light pollution…'
Rias hurriedly set up a teleportation magic, and a magic circle erupted on the ground as Asia's figure manifested.
"Asia, use your sacred gear to heal Ai!"
"Yes!" Asia then tended to Ai as she glaned at her injuries… she then noticed the foght on the distance "Rias-sama, who are those people that's fighting?"
"…" Rias sighed as she deployed magic barriers to keep rhem safe, reinforcing it with all of her magic power.
"Asia focus on healing Ai first, don't worry about being disturbed… I'll protect you"
Asia nodded as she focused on healing Ai.
Rias looked at Ai's injuries visibly getting better and heaved a sigh of relief. She focused on the fight and had questions on Jin's rapidly growing strength.
