He is soon saved by Rias Gremory, a crimson-haired beauty who reveals herself as a Devil of the Gremory Family, and finds out that he himself has been reborn as a Devil made to serve her. The story focuses on the ongoing battle among the Fallen Angels, Angels, and Devils, and Issei's ongoing relationship with Rias, her peerage, alongside other Devils and Angels.
