Every day, Roy would teleport to the Occult Re

"I surrender. Facing the Gremory princess and the Lucifuge heir, I stand no chance," the alchemist declared, raising his hands in submission.

Rias turned to Akeno. "Akeno, apprehend him and send him to the Underworld for trial."

"Understood."

Akeno stepped forward, conjuring ropes of lightning to bind the alchemist.

Was it over just like that?

Not quite.

The bound alchemist suddenly burst into laughter, his expression smug.

"It's too late. I've already accomplished what I set out to do!" he declared before being teleported away.

"It seems this isn't over yet. The creature causing trouble at school must be a monster created by this alchemist," Rias deduced.

"It's simple. We just need to find and eliminate this monster," Roy said with a snap of his fingers.

He activated a magic circle and teleported away with Rias, Akeno, and Koneko.

❁❁❁❁

Earlier, upon learning about the incident at school, Roy had instructed Aoi Kanzaki to search for the monster with her Jumpluff.

Aoi, with the protection of Nezuko and Mitsuri, had successfully located the monster.

In the original story, this plant-type monster, after absorbing a significant amount of life force and magic, became incredibly powerful.

Even Rias was no match for it. That's why Aoi, upon discovering the monster, didn't engage it directly and instead informed Roy immediately.

A blue magic circle appeared before Aoi, Nezuko, and Mitsuri.

"Roy-sama, the monster is over there!" Aoi pointed towards an open space where a plant-like monster, resembling a Rafflesia arnoldii, was rooted.

A group of female students walked towards the monster in a daze.

The monster extended two tendrils, absorbing their life force and magic.

The girls, seemingly unharmed, walked back towards the school.

"It seems those girls haven't been significantly affected. But now that I've found you, I, Rias Gremory, will eliminate you!" Rias declared, approaching the monster with Akeno and Koneko.

"Rias, how about I take care of it?" Roy offered.

Rias smiled at him. "No need, Roy. This is my responsibility."

Roy sighed.

he thought.

"Let's go!"

Rias charged forward, unleashing her Power of Destruction.

Akeno took to the sky, her body crackling with lightning. She summoned a bolt of lightning that struck the monster.

Koneko, in her usual straightforward manner, uprooted a massive tree, requiring several people to lift, and swung it at the monster.

The plant monster, awakened by their attacks, emerged from its large flower, revealing a beak-like head.

With a roar, it unleashed countless vine-like tendrils, forming a defensive net.

Rias, Akeno, and Koneko's attacks struck the net, but they had no effect.

"What?" Rias was stunned.

Her attacks were completely nullified.

The monster retaliated, its tendrils lashing out at the girls.

Just as the tendrils were about to ensnare them, Roy appeared with incredible speed, rescuing the three girls.

"Honestly, Rias, you should learn to rely on your fiancé," Roy chided, holding Rias in a princess carry.

"I'm sorry," Rias apologized, blushing.

Although they were engaged, she didn't want to rely on Roy for everything.

She wanted to be a capable woman who could stand by his side.

Seeing her sincere apology, Roy smiled.

"I'll handle this now."

"Okay," Rias replied obediently, stepping behind Roy.

Roy glared at the monster, his eyes filled with cold determination.

He extended his hand and clenched it.

"Secret Art: Ice Thousand Armed Kannon!"

Inspired by Isaac Netero's legendary ability, A hundred-meter tall statue of Kannon, made entirely of ice, materialized before them.

The Kannon statue moved, its countless arms striking the monster like a barrage of punches.

The ground trembled under the Kannon's relentless assault, dust and debris filling the air.

When the Kannon finally stopped and the dust settled, the area where the monster had been was completely devastated. A massive crater, hundreds of meters wide, marked the spot.

There was no sign of the monster, only some strange liquid remaining as evidence of its existence.

Rias and the others were stunned by Roy's overwhelming display of power.

The hundred-meter tall Kannon, unleashing a flurry of punches...

It was a brutal yet awe-inspiring spectacle.

"A-Amazing..."

"That's incredible!"

"As expected of Roy-sama!"

...

Aoi and the others were speechless.

"Roy, how many more techniques do you have?" Rias asked, her curiosity piqued.

"How many techniques?" Roy stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I have many more. Come to my room tonight, and we can explore them together."

Rias blushed, understanding his suggestive invitation.

Seeing her flustered reaction, Roy decided to stop teasing her.

"Since this is settled, let's head back," he said, clapping his hands.

Just as he was about to activate a teleportation circle, he paused, sensing something.

He turned towards a certain direction.

"It seems there's a Stray Devil over there."

Rias frowned.

After their previous cleanup, almost all the Stray Devils around Kuoh Town had been eliminated.

She hadn't expected another one to appear so soon.

"This is my negligence..."

"Don't blame yourself, Rias. Let's go check it out," Roy said, interrupting her self-reproach.

They headed towards the location where Roy had sensed the Stray Devil.

They soon found it.

To their surprise, the Stray Devil was fighting three girls.

Or rather, the three girls were desperately dodging the Stray Devil's attacks.

Roy instantly recognized them as Aika, Murayama, and Katase.

Earlier that afternoon, Roy had told them not to worry about the students' absences.

However, Aika was too curious about Roy's unusual behavior.

So, she had dragged Murayama and Katase along to investigate the cause of the students' strange behavior.

They had followed the students who had been enthralled by the monster, but they hadn't expected to encounter a Stray Devil.

To protect the defenseless students, the three girls had no choice but to fight the Stray Devil.

This was the scene Roy and the others had stumbled upon.

If not for the month of Breathing Styles training, the three girls would have been devoured by now.

"Kekeke, you three little cuties, stop running and let us eat you!"

The Stray Devil, nearly five meters tall, with crimson eyes and a hideous appearance, towered over the girls like a giant.
