Chapter 11 - Akeno: Looks Like Someone Stole Our Prey!
The sky gradually turned dark.
A violent collision sounded in a dark grove, but it didn't take long for it to quiet down after the noise.
After the noise subsided, Mahiro walked out of the small forest, the blade of his sword bearing traces of blood, the blood of the stray devil he had just defeated.
"The second one, solved!"
A faint smile appeared on Mahiro's face, having easily killed another stray devil, which obviously put him in a good mood.
"System, search for the last trace of the stray devil."
Mahiro instructed and soon learned the exact location from the system. Without delay, he quickly turned into a black shadow in the dark night, running swiftly towards his destination.
Completing the last one to finish the quest and get the reward was now Mahiro's priority.
After he left, a red light emerged, looking a little eerie.
As the red light gradually disappeared, four figures suddenly appeared in the woods.
The four figures were Rias Gremory and her servents.
"The smell of a stray devil is mixed with a strong smell of blood."
Koneko wrinkled her nose, sniffing the air, and commented.
As a Nekoshou, she has a very sensitive sense of smell.
Hearing this, a hint of solemnity appeared on the faces of the group.
"It's not the smell of human blood, it's the smell of devil blood."
Koneko explained.
"There!"
Yuuto Kiba glanced around vigilantly, then saw a tall shadow collapsed on the ground.
Rias took the lead and walked towards the tall shadow lying on the ground, silently glancing at the dead stray devil.
Akeno Himejima covered her mouth with a chuckle and said, "It looks like someone has pre-empted us again, Rias."
Why say it again?
Because this was the second dead stray devil they had encountered tonight.
And the first one was the spider devil dismembered by Mahiro in the factory.
Due to the news that the devil was going to escape from Kuoh Town at night, Rias naturally led the team to clean it up first.
What Rias didn't expect was that when the group arrived, the spider devil had already been killed and cut into pieces, bleeding all over the place.
In the end, they just went to clean up the mess and dispose of the spider devil's body.
"Tsk tsk, someone cut off his head with a sword, and his death is a little better than the spider devil just now."
Akeno circled around the stray devil's body and found that the wound was only on the neck.
"Yuuto, come and look at this wound."
Rias ordered Kiba Yuuto.
"Okay, President."
Hearing this, Kiba Yuuto stepped forward and carefully examined the wound on the stray devil's neck. "If I'm not mistaken, the weapon that caused this fatal attack should be the same as the one used on the stray devil just now."
A skilled swordsman can judge a weapon by its wound.
Apparently, Kiba Yuuto had this ability too.
Not to mention, the fatal wound of the spider devil was actually inflicted by Mahiro, and the injuries of the two were almost identical.
"Ara ara~, Rias, it seems someone has taken the lead in hunting the stray devils with us."
Akeno showed a very interested look, clearly intrigued by this person who competed with them for prey.
"Rias, what do you think about this matter?"
Akeno looked at Rias.
Kuoh Town is Rias's territory. Someone in her territory preemptively hunted the stray devils, not once, but twice in one night. It was indeed subtle.
"There is no unpleasant smell of the clergy around. Presumably, the one who killed the two stray devils should not belong to the church. This is good news for us."
Rias smiled helplessly. "I hope the other party is not an enemy."
It was obviously a problem in her territory, but it was solved by others first. There was always a feeling of being slapped in the face, which made Rias feel a little aggrieved.
"I can't let others pre-empt me, or my Gremory surname will really be shamed."
There was a flash of fighting spirit in Rias's eyes. Being preempted in killing the prey again made this proud girl feel a strong desire to fight.
"But this guy is really careless and wants me to finish for him."
Rias said helplessly.
Mahiro didn't have the means to dispose of the corpse, and it was obviously time-consuming to deal with such a huge corpse, so he basically just killed it and left.
And if the body of this stray devil was discovered by ordinary people, it would cause quite a sensation.
A magic light flashed in Rias's hand, and a red torrent suddenly spewed out, engulfing the devil's corpse.
The torrent of red magic was like a gluttonous beast, completely consuming the devil's body.
In an instant, the tall corpse was processed by Rias, leaving not even a trace, except for some blood seeping into the soil, indicating that a life-and-death battle had taken place here.
"Let's go. There are still a few targets to come. I don't want to be preempted every time."
After destroying the devil's body, Rias was not in a particularly good mood. After starting from Kuoh Academy, it felt like they were always one step behind someone else. This kind of thing made her a little annoyed and inspired her to fight.
As Gremory's heir, her inner arrogance would not allow her to be repeatedly robbed of her prey.
However, the sudden appearance of a stray devil hunter also made Rias feel a sense of vigilance.
The red light flickered under her feet, and the magic circle appeared. Rias stepped in first, then disappeared. Even Akeno was momentarily stunned.
"Oh, it looks like our princess was hit tonight and left us alone."
Seeing this, Akeno was not only not angry, but showed a look of interest and smiled.
"Is the president angry?"
Koneko's small face, usually expressionless, showed a slight change, and she could also feel the shift in Rias's emotions.
"It's not that she's angry, she just felt unwillingness."
Kiba Yuuto said helplessly.
"Yuuto-kun knows our princess very well. I haven't seen Rias with such an expression for a long time."
Akeno said with a smile.
"Akeno-senpai, let's hurry up and catch up. The situation tonight is a bit unexpected. If we encounter any difficult enemies, it will be dangerous."
Kiba Yuuto said, quickly walking into the magic circle that hadn't disappeared.
"Maybe this time, we can really meet the person who stole our prey?"
Akeno was suddenly very interested in the character who killed the stray devils twice. She quickly stepped into the magic circle, followed by Koneko.
With a flash of light, the three disappeared and were teleported to Rias together.
