How it happened I am not fully sure, the fact was that right now I was on the back of the old school building, beside me was Sona who was still examining in shock the board of chess for the third game of ours, and in the area outside we had Isaia and Issei facing Lint.

That is not a fair fight, not fair at all.

"Rias, would it not be better if the rest of your Peerage participates as well?" I ask as I remove both knights and one of my rooks from the board for this new game against Sona, she clearly needs it even if she is glaring at me as I do so.

Rias turned to me with an raised eyebrow and asked.

"Do you truly think my adorable servants can't win? We are not so weak." She said, more in wonder than in actual offense.

I shrug my shoulders and say.

"To be honest, I doubt even that would make much of a difference. But, for the sake of fairness, tell your knight that he should use a dragon slayer sword if he intends to win." I say to Rias as I absentmindedly play against Sona. She is quite fun, making all those expressions as we play against each other.

Now that I think about it, the reason for this all was that Lint got her hands in some coffee, defended me against Isaia's attack, subsequently started pestering him about why he did what he did, him lashing out at her, she avoiding all his strikes, him challenging her to a duel, she accepts it, and Issei entered it because...

Huh? Why did he choose to enter?

"Hehehe, I will use my secret technique in her and secure the win. That will be awesome." Issei said and I raised an eyebrow.

"I would advice you to watch carefully, he might do something quite interesting. Such lust energy is rare even for my kind, a devil with it is sure to be interesting in many ways." Merlin said inside my Sephiroth Graal. I nodded to his request, but I turn to Leonardo and ask.

"Did they finish?"

"Not yet, there is quite a lot of space to look over and they hid well. It is not easy to find them in short notice." Leonardo said and I nodded. It was somewhat expected that he could not find it that easily, there is no way someone who survived since the great war could be sloppy to the point of being easily found, but this still is merely a matter of time.

I have absolute trust in Leonardo's ability to find others, his creations had long since become able to be capable of all types of things. Scouting areas of Kuoh size are simple matters, only some time needed.

Looking at the area where the fight started I could only shake my head at what I was seeing. I could honestly say I could beat both Isaia and Isei together what I was perhaps 8 or 7 years old, their technique is sloppy at best with Isaia clearly being one who focuses on speed but trying to overpower Lint (which is just not going to happen) and Issei...

Why do I sense a weird energy sign from where he touched her shoulder before being thrown in the air a few dozen meters.

As I continue to stare he smirks and speaks up.

"Now it is time for you to experience my personally created magic. Dress Break!"

And, just like that, Lint's clothes exploded out of her body.

"..." I could only stare at what had just happened. I continue to stare for about three seconds before taking out a talisman and throwing it at Lint, she did not seem to mind her nudity as she continued to happily pumel Isaia as he kept trying to hit her, her not even taking out her sword being enough of a proof of how she saw this fight as.

She turns to me, ignoring Kiba's attacks and gives me a thumbs up before speaking.

"Thanks, Fabio, it was a bit too breezy just now. Oh, what if I take of my clothes when it gets too hot, it could be an intelligent strategy for future fights, don't you think? Oh, speaking of the future, what if after this we go eat some chocolate. Uhm, chocolate~~, do you have any? Oh, oh, have you ever thought of how chocolates are made? I wonder about it sometimes and where can I get as fresh a chocolate as possible? Speaking of fresh, what if after this mission we go swimming in the ocean? I heard that there is a beach not too far away from this city and it could be nice. Speaking of beach-"

And there she goes. That is exactly why her drinking coffee is never a good idea, she becomes far too excitable and starts rambling, not able to stop and listen even if you want to speak with her. She also loses much of her ability to hold back or notice other attacks, one of the reasons why her not touching her sword is probably for the better.

If she were to actually use her sword who knows how much damage she could create, I would have to intervene for sure.

In her back, Isaia keeps slashing at her but his attacks are completely ineffective, only bouncing of at her skin as if they mean nothing. Since a while back she managed to fully awaken the power of her bloodline, gaining Sigfried's invulnerable skin and the magic core inside him, her sheer magic and physical defense enough to make injuring her a daunting task for most people and her getting my Perfect Rook piece did not help. Even for me, injuring her requires me to use considerable strength and not hold back during the spars, she is decidedly strong.

Isaia has no chance of actually injuring her with what he is doing.

"Kiba, take this!" Issei shouted as he touched Kiba.

"TRANSFER!"

As I heard this I could see that Isaia now is carrying the power of Issei's Boosted Gear. Isaia nods at Issei as he concentrate all that energy into his hands, a powerful aura exudes from him as he starts to create what must be his strongest sword.

"With this, I will beat you and then I will get to the Saint next!" Isaia shouted as a demonic dragon-slayer sword is created. It is clearly very strong and he is doing all he can only to hold it as he swings it with all he can at a distracted Lint. As the sword comes down on Lint it is possible to hear the sound of the wind being cut as he attacks, the power pressing and impressive.

BOOM

A great collision happens, Isaia's face is covered in sweat and he clearly did all he could. The sword in his hands truly impressive, it's powers the strongest he has ever been able to display.

The result? A scratch no more that one centimeter deep into Lint's arm.

"Huh? What is... oh yeah, I was in a fight right?" Lint said, as if just realizing she was in the midst of a fight. Turning to Isaia she speaks. "Sorry about that, I completely forgot we were sparing. Now it is my turn, right?"

As she spoke this she takes out the sword in her belt, it is a long double-edged sword colored all black from the grip handle to the blade with four yellow diamond-shaped patterns on the center and claw shaped crossguard. This is Tyrfing X, the experiment to fuse different weapons into one and the base for the creation of my future swords. It mixes Tyrfing, a sword known for it's extreme destructive power, and a copy of the Blade of Tathagata, a sword made for a great Buddha long ago, it is an extremely powerful weapon and it could be considered extremely demonic in nature despite belonging to a Buddha.

The original is with the Church and will be used on my demonic blade, when it is time for it to be properly made.

Anyway, Lint swings down her blade and I quickly move to in front of her, holding her attack with my Excalibur Transparency while I cover it with holy flames, countering her strike just as it was about to reach Isaia and likely eliminate him and what must be half of this school from the face of Earth.

This blade is NOT one that Lint can control when she drinks coffee.

As I block the strike she could not swing her sword to the end, but what she managed to slice was already sliced, the clouds above with a clear cut in them. Lint is certainly a power to be reckoned with, how else could she become my partner?

"Oh, do you want to spare now too? Okay, we can spar between the two of us, it should be fun!" She says as she prepares to attack again only for me to move faster, putting a finger in her forehead and making her calm down, quickly falling asleep. I prefer not to do so when in a possibly hostile location but I rather doubt the devils will try anything now.

After finishing this I turn to the others and notice them looking at me with shock and I try to make them more relaxed with a smile.

"Sorry for the disturbance, she went a bit overboard and I feared she might seriously injury someone." I said to them and they slowly nodded their heads as if on a slight daze.

After a moment it was Rias who coughed in her hand to draw everyone's attention to her.

"Can you promises not to attack any of us here or cause damage to the humans in this town?" She asked and I nodded.

"Sure, no problems." I said and she released a sigh.

"Fine, you can do as you will." She then turned to Sona and spoke. "And what says you, Sona?"

Sona, however, was petrified in place staring at the game board in a pure daze.

Seeing that she was not reacting I spoke.

"That is Check Mate in either 5 turns or 8 depending if you want to drag things out." I told her easily and she began glaring at the table intensely. Heh, it seems like the reports regarding how prideful she is regarding chess is true.

"You, you beat Sona?" Rias asked in shock and I tilted my head at this. I mean, it is not like it was even that hard or anything so why is she acting like this? "... Answer me this, you have the ring of Solomon, right? As in, you created one right?"

"Yes." I answered easily enough. That I had created one such ring was nothing new and the devils long since found out about this. I mean, Sairaorg's Peerage even helped me in how to use devil power and gave me some of their blood willingly for me to use on my ring.

Hiding information that others already know is not really useful or anything.

"You do know that this makes you something akin to Royalty in our society and the condition to have an engagement with Sona is to defeat her in a chess match, right?"

Before I could speak up and try to understand what she just said and deny any possible engagement before it has even the slightest chance of becoming official someone stands in front of me.

"Sorry, but we have to get going now. We are kind of busy so have a good day, we will get out now. Bye." Valerie said quickly as she started pushing me out of the area while giving a smile to the others, not that it stopped her from pushing me out in a hurry.

Giving the others a wave we left them there, out objective complete in that we now can move around freely in town.

It has been about four hours since thee meeting and me and my peerage were all sitting at a nice little shop to eat lunch. We had just arrived and were now waiting it was night time. We already are sure as to where Kokabiel and his cronies are located so we just need to wait until it is a more appropriate time to deal with them.

That means night and after my shikigamis finish setting up the barrier I plan to activate at the moment of the fight. As he is in a small forestal region near the border of Kuoh but still counting as Kuoh territory. As such the Japanese Pantheon would likely not intervene, which is a shame as I was kinda hoping I would be able to meet some of the people from the five great families or the famous samurai and monks that travel this land, I have yet to meet any but I heard great things of them and I always wondered how their techniques work and how my own match up to theirs.

Putting a spoonful of food in my mouth I smile as this tastes very good. This place clearly is no fancy one but still serves delicious food which is plenty enough for me.

"So, how long until the barrier is set up?" Valerie asks me as she drinks her strawberry milkshake.

"I would say one more hour or so, perhaps a bit more since the energy around is not quite mixed up so I need more time to make a barrier without being detected." I told her easily enough.

Making an onmyouji barrier to isolate a space is not so complicated, but making one that others don't sense being made is a different matter entirely. To do so one must make the barrier seals completely assimilate with the natural energy around them, make them be indistinguishable and only then would it be possible for one to put up a barrier without others noticing it.

Regular onmyouji are completely unable to do it and even the more experienced ones are hard-pressed to do so, I can do it remotely and in a quick fashion to boot, according to Seimei my accomplishments are already surprising and I only need more experience before I can reach his level.

"I see, so what we should do until then?" Leonardo asked while reclining in his seat.

"I vote for making kitties with me, nyaa~~" Kuroka said and Valerie glared down at her.

Choosing to ignore the argument between the two I turned to Regulus in my shoulder.

"So, what would you like to do next?" I question and he puts one of his pawns on his chin as if on deep thought.

"I would say we could go take a look around town. I would like to explore this place a bit, to be honest." Regulus said and I nodded.

"Very well, we should all go and look around, enjoy the place." I tood everyone before taking out multiple pieces of paper and sending a pulse of energy into it, turning them into very simple talismans. "Keep these around so we can communicate in a time of need. If anything happens just think of who you want to talk with and send some energy into it and that should suffice to start a conversation."

Seeing everyone nod we all started walking our own ways to explore this town. I wonder what I might find out here.

3° Person P.O.V.

"So, we are sure of this information?" A woman of about 20 years old asked her two companions, wanting confirmation regarding this operation.

"..." One was quiet, looking at the clouds and wondering how it would be like if he too could just float out there and be without a care.

The other, meanwhile, was praying on his rosary and chanting Buddhist chants calmly.

"*SIGH*, Why do both of you don't show more enthusiasm when dealing with this situation?" The woman asked as the distracted one turned his focus on her.

"... Because we only know that one of them might be here. If there is one we just need to slay it, that is it."

"Oh, poor creatures destined to be hunted down for all eternity for the sin of being what they are, I will send them on their way Amithaba." The Buddhist chanting one said before opening his eyes. His eyes were completely vacant as he was blind but, even so, with just one look no one would dare look down on him.

With his hulking figure and standing at 2,2 meters tall one could only compare him with a mountain of pure muscles and destruction, with the large scar on his forehead he only reinforced the violent impression he delivered. With spiky black hair and a strong face he would look like a statue if he stood quiet in place and despite chanting Buddhist chants he still exuded a natural pressure enough to show everyone that he was no joke matter.

"... I wonder what being the wind is like." The distracted and absentminded one said to himself at this point. If the first one was a hulking figure than this one was anything but that. He looked barely 16 years old, being short at only 1,6 meters tall and with a lean frame he had long black hair that grows green the closer to the tips it gets. He had an absentminded look and on his side was a sword that was quite large, almost the same size as himself in the end.

The woman sighed, thinking how was she to find that demon if these are her partners, two of the nine samurai who can bland in the least with those around. Well, at least she wasn't that abnormal looking with her standing at 1,55 meters tall, with pale skin and large, compound-looking eyes that do not possess pupils, only a haze of gradient purple, which make her eyes appear similar to those of bugs (which she put contacts on to make look normal for regular civilians, something her allies did not bother doing). She has shoulder-length hair that fades from black into dark purple, styled at the back of her head into a "yakai-maki" style and fastened with a white and purple butterfly ornament. She was beautiful enough to the point where, more than once, she was approached by fashion producers offering her positions as model.

And so these three entered Kuoh city, and as they entered the city a certain flamboyant being that was sitting beside Kokabel smirked as he recognized their presence the moment they entered the city.

Seeing the smile appearing on the face of his ally made Kokabiel turn to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Did something happen?" Kokabiel asked his ally to which the ally just took out his fan in a flamboyant manner and said.

"Nothing that you should worry about, you just need to think on how to start your war and how to drag the Japanese Pantheon into this, as long as you do that lord Muzan ordered me to support you." The flamboyant man said and Kokabiel shivered internally a bit.

Again Kokabiel had to question himself if what he was doing was the right thing, he may love conflict and want the war to restart more than anything else, but one meeting with Muzan, the leader of the demonic Hyakki Yako, was enough to make him wonder if he should rethink this whole plan.

The sheer evil and malice he could sense from that being was enough to make his skin crawl, and while the one standing beside him as an assistant to this plan that just might implicate the Japanese Pantheon was not anywhere close to Muzan's level he still was a dangerous being nonetheless and not someone he would want to fight against as he doubts he would be able to do anything to him.

However, Kokabiel was still decided to go through with his plan. No matter what he would restart the great war, end what they had started.

Regardless of everything else he would succeed on this plan or die trying.

AN:

Well, I hope you all enjoyed it. I decided to mix a bit of Kimetsu no Yaiba in this fic after all, mostly because I want someone to be able to challenge Fabio and those types only appear later on and that would make him too OP for this time. I will also use this to expand more on other pantheons and show their own circumstances of not only the supernatural beings and Gods but also of humans and how it is not only the Christian pantheon that has a human center for battle (exorcists).

Also, for the rest of the peerage of Fabio, there are several options. I posted a pool up, go there and vote in who you want. You can also comment in the Reviews in what positions you want them at.

Right now this is what Fabio's peerage looks like:

Queen - ?

Bishop 1 - Kuroka

Bishop 2 - ?

Rook 1 - Lint

Rook 2 - ?

Knight 1 - ?

Knight 2 - ?

Pawn 1 - Valerie

Pawn 2 - Leonardo

Pawn 3 - ?

Pawn 4 - ?

Pawn 5 - ?

Pawn 6 - ?

Pawn 7 - ?

Pawn 8 - ?
