Strength| * Occult Research Club
* Sona Sitri's Peerage

## Summary

A skirmish between members of the young Devils who attended Kuoh Academy and the Khaos Brigade Magician's Faction; Nilrem.

## Prelude

While the Occult Research Club was talking to the chairman of the Magician association Grauzauberer ; Mephisto Pheles, he revealed that Phenex Tears which had been passed around to the terrorists in secret, which while originally assumed to be the work of a rogue distributor, that there also exist tears, which weren't produced by the House of Phenex and have effects comparable to the real ones are being sold on the black market. Mephisto also reveals that groups of Stray Magicians are targeting and trying to make contact with members of the Phenex clan, warning Ravel Phenex to be careful. When Rias Gremory and Yuuto Kiba departed for Romania, Kuoh Academy came under attack by Stray Magicians, who kidnapped Ravel, Koneko and Gasper.

## History

Receiving a note from the Stray Magicians, the Devils of Kuoh Academy made their way to the underground station which is used to go to the Gremory territory, as the Stray Magicians have made their base there. Due to the fact that Ddraig was still sleeping after expending a lot of his energy in order to help revive Issei, Issei was incapable of using his Balance Breaker, Boosted Gear Scale Mail. While entering the area the group took a battle formation.

For the offence, the vanguards were Knight Xenovia, Ace Irina, Pawn Saji, Knight Meguri and Rook Yura. The middle-guards were Pawn Issei, Queen Akeno, Rook Rossweisse, Queen Shinra and Pawn Nimura. The rearguards were King Sona and Bishops; Asia, Kusaka and Hanakai. The formation was set so the close-range type members were positioned as vanguards, the members who fight from long-range were positioned as middleguards, and the rearguards consisted of members of support-types and the person giving commands as the central pillar. Arriving to meet the Stray Magicians, the two groups began to battle, with the Magicians shooting our various elemental attacks and summoning various monsters. Xenovia leapt forward, making a big swing with Ex-Durandal, and slammed down the many magic attacks headed towards the group with the holy aura. Rossweisse, who was the middle-guard also shot her full burst and supported Xenovia’s attack as the herd of monsters that were charging towards the group were vaporised in one hit from Rossweisse attack. The remaining attacks were blocked by Yura's Sacred Gear. The vanguards group, which consisted of Xenovia, Saji and Meguri Tomoe charged in as they began to attack the magicians as Issei assisted Saji by transferring his power to Saji, enhancing his ability to absorb power, which Saji absorb and directed to Rossweisse enhancing her magic power. The magicians attempted to attack Issei but Tsubaki used her Sacred Gear, which was enhanced by Issei's power to counter their attacks. Saji then scattered his lines which were connected to Issei, allowing Issei to transfer his power via the lines.

Reaching to where Ravel, Koneko and Gasper were, the group was shocked by the emergence of the legendary Evil Dragon Grendel. Realizing he needed his armor, Issei attempted to wake up Ddraig, though Ddraig had regressed to a infant due to loss of energy from the Demonic Beast Riot and his fear of breasts. Asia then summoned Fafnir, who along with Vritra's help, were able to restore Ddraig to normal.

Issei equipped his **Scale Mail**, as he engaged Grendel in a fight though Grendel was able resist his attacks even from Issei's Welsh Dragonic Rook form. Issei then transformed into **Cardinal Crimson Promotion**, as he was capable of fighting equal against Grendel, punching him with attacks enhanced by Ascalon's *Dragon Slayer* aura. As the rest of the group attempted to assist Issei in fighting Grendel, a dark aura emerged from Gasper as it began to devour the space around him. The hooded figure, revealed to be Euclid Lucifuge told Grendel to retreat as the two teleported away, with Ravel marking the Phenex tears that Nilrem was producing with her magic.

## Conclusion

Euclid Lucifuge's survival threw the current Devil government into a hysteria as Grayfia Lucifuge was placed under house arrest in the Gremory Castle due to the perception that she had lied about her brother being deceased. With Euclid's role as the Nilrem leader revealed, Azazel began to suspect that there was someone behind the scenes trying to unify the factions on the Khaos Brigade into one and fill the power vacuum that had been created after the defeat and dissolution of the Old Satan Faction and Hero Faction.
