Time-Line: About same time when Morgan enters E-Rank Dungeon

Change of POV: 3rd

[Author Note: This one wasn't edited either]

///////////////

 Cleria Belial saw it.

She saw the new barrier eclipsing old one, thus shattering old one.

It could only mean one thing, a more powerful barrier was placed. 

She grunted, she breathed.

She stared into death mere moments ago, she is not about to get scared by new arrivals.

Instead, she shifted her eyes towards her pawns who worked on materializing previous barrier, now they were running towards her at their top speed.

Their faces showing concern, confusion and fear.

Fear was main emotion, she couldn't blame them. 

"Cleria!" A white haired girl asked her as she run up to Cleria to help her stood up. A brown haired young man also came up to help her.

And third one, who was black haired girl walked up to Masaomi Yaegaki and just when she was about to help him, Masaomi grunted before he glared towards her.

"Don't worry, I can stand myself." Masaomi grunted as he stood up, but not without sending a small glare towards black haired girl, who looked uncertain for a second.

She doesn't, if she should listen to him or no.

But Cleria Belial ordered. " Leave him be, when he knocks himself out then pick him up." It was enough for black haired pawn to go back to her Master. " Instead go and pick up Elene." Elene is Cleria's Queen, when she ordered, she ordered her male pawn who nodded before walking towards her to pick her up.

But situation changed now, they concentrated towards the Barrier surrounding them.

"So, who dared to intrude my start of the Great War!" Proclaimed Kokabiel as all of his ten wings sprouted behind him, black wings as darkness itself. Aura shifted around him, as his [Light-Power] increased and blasted towards barrier.

In attempt to break it perhaps, but it did not have any effect on barrier itself.

It did not budge

Truly, a wings fit for a Crow such as Kokabiel. 

And feathers fell.

But then, Kokabiel's irritated face fell for a moment there. He himself is a High-Ultimate Class. A barrier that would be capable of keeping him trapped would need to be Satan-Class Barrier.

But a barrier that didn't receive even a scratch after his mana burst at full force..

When reality sunk in, he certainly did not like implications of the news.

He did not, even one little bit.

But under Kokabiel's trance, Belial's Peerage and Exorcist took this chance to flee, flee towards Kuoh Gym.

But then, they felt it. 

They felt enormous amount of Magical Power coming from the main Kuoh Building, the Kuoh Academy itself.

Everyone, from Kokabiel to every member of Cleria Belial's Peerage turned their head towards Kuoh building.

On the roof they noticed several figures.

No, not several but four figures clearly.

Three of them are wearing some type of armor, steel gauntlets, steel boots and steel chest-plate with black over their bodies.

And the most interesting features about them would be their masks, the classic 'Oni' mask they are wearing. And the one that seems out of place would be a fat member of their 'squad', compared to other three who are wearing everything black even black armor + Oni Mask.

The one who supposedly 'placed' the barrier over Kuoh academy has both of his arms raised above his head, both palms glowing green. Compared to other three slim figures, he is overweight and is wearing white t-shirt and black pants/ Quite contrast compared to other three, but he is still wearing their iconic 'Oni' Mask.

But he is powerful, all of Cleria's peerage understood that once they sensed that enormous Magical Power comes from him. An Ultimate-Class who is stronger than Kokabiel.

Kokabiel knows who they are, he very well does. One of most sought after Bounty Hunters teams, one of the most expensive too. 

The 'Ogre-Squad'.

[Author Note: I honestly forgot what name I gave them but it honestly doesn't matter, let's say they changed it and we'll go with the flow.]

Supernatural world speculates that 'The Ogre-Squad' has two Ultimate-Class beings.

~BOOM!~ An even higher amount of Magical Power erupted from the man in the middle of 'Ogre-Squad' formation. From what they were able to sense, the man in question has neck-length black hair, and is quite tall for Japanese.

But his appearance aside, the Magical Power he erupted alarmed everyone.

But now, Kokabiel understood, he understood that Supernatural Ranking System was wrong, their speculations were wrong.

Because the man, the Leader of The Ogre-Squad, Kokabiel presumes he is, is above Ultimate-Class. The magical power of this Human entered Satan-Class range.

Now, Kokabiel despite his arrogance and proclamation is a coward.

At first he planned to kill Cleria Belial, accuse Devil Faction for stealing Excalibur Fragments which he destroyed just earlier, the Seven Excalibur Fragments lay in literal fragments in a pile away from them.

It was supposed to be a perfect plan, then Diehauser Belial would initiate war on Heaven with his followers and supporters, Old Satan Faction would seize this chance to join him, Old Traditional Devils would also join and civilian Devils would simply be caught in the flames of war as foot soldiers.

And Grigori, Kokabiel's forces would join too, dragging Grigori into war anyway.

But now, the appearance of this Human changed everything.

Kokabiel glanced above him, at barrier. His attack at full force had been weak, weak enough that it did not leave even a scratch on this magnificent barrier.

Kokabiel concluded that this barrier couldn't have been simply a work of Human Magician, it's too strong to be one, even for Ultimate-Class magician, so he concluded it must have been a powerful Sacred Gear.

All this calculation happened under several seconds in real world time.

So Kokabiel decided, if he is going to die, then he is going to do his damn best at bringing the Devils with him at least!

No more playing anymore! He is going to obliterate this would school!

He flew up to the sky, to the limit of barriers borders.

He used his [Light-Power] and created hundreds of Spears made of light, and threw them towards retreating Devils with a snarl on his face.

Just when he thought that he got them, another barrier appeared above them. Instead of usual barrier encircling them, this one was simply 'a block of green barrier' that acted as shield to cover them.

Kokabiel sharply turned his head towards 'The Ogre-Squad' and noticed how Fat Human was laughing at him from that distance.

That's the first thing he noticed.

Second thing he noticed was 'missing Satan-Class' Human. Then he felt it, his incredible Danger sense that warned him multitude of times by his long lifespan. This danger sense was one of the reasons he survived on frontlines in the Great War, especially on front against Beelzebub and Leviathan.

He dodged at last second by leaping backwards.

And just below him, a 'wave of Magical Power' passed him'. He managed to dodge in last second before counter-attacking with one of his own attacks, by creating Large Spear of Light and sending it towards the Human below.

Kokabiel used this chance to leap away further, towards Kuoh Gym. He immediately tried to use his 'Teleportation' Magic on circles he created at multitude of his secret bases, but alas something was interfering with his connection.

He glanced at green barrier. "It must be this barrier..." He kept his head cool, he can't act as he usually acts against a formidable opponent like this Human.

"Why do you interfere! Human, the Great War would not have included Mankind! Yet why do you interfere!" Kokabiel lied, of course! Great War would definitely include Humans, Devils would be mass reincarnating Humans into their own fold, catching any Human Sacred Gear they find, forcefully converting them.

And even using Memory Manipulation if it need to be.

And Church would amass mass' recruitment of orphans'. Grigori, Azazel's pride wouldn't have allowed him to use Human children.

'It's funny thing, Azazel is more like an Angel than Michael himself.' Kokabiel though, but his thoughts distracted him for a moment, and that moment cost him.

Goto Ryuji leaped from below, this time in tow with his Red-Katana at speed that Kokabiel was barely able to react, thus Kokabiel dodging was only half successful, half because he lost two wings on the left side of his body.

Then Kokabiel extended his palm towards Goto, a yellow circle manifested at his palm as 'Yellow-Light' blast of energy sprouted from it towards Goto.

Goto didn't waste time and infused his Red-Katana with Magical Power and slashed it towards incoming yellow blast of energy.

Goto's slash traveled, it cut Kokabiel's blast in half and it traveled till it cut off Kokabiel's right arm, causing pathetic Crow to cry out in pain and grit his teeth at his shameful display.

At shameful display it was forced to show, and by Human. By Human for second time! 

First time it was against Vasco Strada, and now it's against the Ogre-Squad leader?!

He cannot accept it!

The same time his arm was cut off, Kokabiel counter-attacked once more by moving his remaining left arm and materializing a spear before throwing it towards Goto as distraction, which Goto easily side-stepped.

But this moment allowed Kokabiel to make distance between them. But not for long, as Goto soon closed by using [Fly] skill and flying towards Kokabiel.

It should be noted that if Goto wanted to kill Kokabiel from the start, it would have been over by now.

Rather, Goto is using this chance to try out [Fly] Skill and some techniques he got.

They placed cat and mouse for a minute by now.

Cleria's Peerage watched from sidelines as they saw Human wearing Oni-Mask playing with Kokabiel, barely attacking Kokabiel at all.

Rather it was, it was as if Human was testing him?

"Who are they?" Questioned white haired pawn, as she clasped her hand together on her stomach with worried expression.

Cleria's Peerage and Masaomi Yaegaki are together watching the fight unfold from the Kuoh Gym, watching the fight through windows.

"They are 'The Ogre-Squad'. A squad of Bounty Hunters that started hunting from Kuoh, over three years ago." Replied Masaomi as he grunted, his wounds are not fatal. Just scratches here and there, a broken wrist and Magical Exhaustion from over-using his 'Holy-Sword' which he returned back into his soul by now.

Cleria Belial had her suspicions, after alll she started her job as 'overseer' by little less than four years ago, and those times for Kuoh could be called 'Dark-Age', where Strays were walking around constantly on nights, people disappearing non-stop.

And she, and then with only her Queen, they were Mid-Class then had hard time dealing with Strays.

But, then 'Ogre-Squad' showed up out of nowhere, led by Goto Ryuji. They started massacring every single stray. From Low-Class to High-Class, no exceptions. Their debut into supernatural world was brief yet alarming.

Many factions tried to recruit them, but most notable one was Devil Faction or rather High-Class Devils wanted Goto Ryuji in their peerages, but Cleria was not one of them.

"Yes, the appear to be so. But to think we would be saved by them.."Cleria replied as she shock her head, this is unbelievable luck on their side.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"It seems that battle is going to end soon.." Exclaimed Maosami as she sighed, was it a sigh of relief ?

Devils sent him a questioning gaze, but luckily for them he elaborated. "Goto Ryuji suddenly got massively faster, and his stance changed from carefree to serious one. " Cleria nodded at that.

They turned their eyes back to the fight and watched flabbergasted.

Goto, effortlessly caught up with Kokabiel, he caught Kokabiel's left leg, tightened his grip on it before Goto flew towards the school ground.

~THUD!~ With resounding thud, Goto landed on ground, but Kokabiel thrashed around, just as beheaded chicken would, desperately tried to back away. 

"Let me go!" 

"I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Women! Money! I have everything!" Kokabiel's previous assumptions that 'he would die' with honor disappeared the moment Goto grabbed his leg.

But it was not over, Goto's grip tightened even more.

Before he used, the legendary move called 'Puny God'.

He threw Kokabiel at ground, then left, then right. 

Goto trashed him at least couple of dozens times like this before he seemed satisfied, before throwing Kokabiel at his feet. " Puny Fallen Angel." Goto Added before positioning his blade.

"Originally I though of returning you alive to Azazel. More money would have been favorable but.." Goto, with one simple move, cut off Kokabiel's left arm that was apparently trying to build up Magical Power. No doubt, last attempt at his trickery. " But I deem you too dangerous to be left alive."

And another simple cut, Great Kokabiel was beheaded.

At Morgan Le Fay Side.
