"Such a sexy big sister!"
Bang!
Before the words finished leaving his mouth, someone smacked him hard on the back of the head.
"Idiot, that's what you're focused on?!"
"Snap out of it already!!"
He stood trembling on the asphalt road of Shuchiin, body shaking uncontrollably.
Who was that figure in the sky?
She was flying?
And those glowing blue patterns… were those magic circles?
Katerea Leviathan lifted the corner of her lips with a faint smile. "What an interesting expression~"
She slowly raised her hand, then pressed downward.
Crash—
A vast sea suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
With an overwhelming roar, it came crashing down on Shuchiin below!!
The students of Shuchiin instantly widened their eyes.
"It's a supernatural power!!"
"Wait, is she trying to drown us?!"
"Run! Run now!!"
Chaos erupted across the campus.
Inside the faculty guidance room.
Natsuki Minamiya stood up suddenly, peering out the window.
"What incredible magic!"
She exclaimed, then immediately activated space manipulation techniques!
In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared.
---
At the same time.
All of Tokyo fell into chaos.
Sea water surged up from the blue magic circles beneath everyone's feet!
"What's happening?!"
"Is this divine punishment?!"
On Route 387, panicked people ran for their lives, screaming as they fled.
Suoh Household.
The head of the Suoh family stared blankly at the glowing magic circles and the surging tide.
Boom!!
A cherry tree was torn from the ground and hurled through the air by the impact.
Gulp—!!
The Suoh family head swallowed nervously, his pupils trembling.
This… this was definitely a large-scale supernatural disaster!
---
Lion King Organization.
Shirona Kuraki clenched her fists as she stared at the figures floating in the sky.
"Maou…"
She gritted her teeth. The word itself seemed to squeeze out through her jaws.
Why would a Maou-level devil suddenly attack human society?
It made no sense. These days, devils were highly dependent on human society.
There was absolutely no reason for such reckless destruction!
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed.
"The Old Maou Faction!"
A suspicion took root in Shirona's mind.
"Yukari!"
She called out softly.
A black cat landed in front of her a moment later.
"Send the order. Activate all defensive barriers and stabilize the situation!"
The black cat, fell silent for a moment before replying, "I'm afraid we can't do that."
"You understand the destructive power of a Maou-level devil, right?"
"And…"
Yukari narrowed his eyes. "There's more than one, isn't there?"
Shirona's expression tensed.
Her eyes swept across the sky. Behind the leading woman, she spotted a golden-haired man in aristocratic attire.
There was no doubt.
He was also a Maou-level devil.
Perhaps not as powerful as the woman, but still a force to be reckoned with!
Two Maou-level devils!
Shirona bit her lip, her usual composure gone.
Tokyo was in trouble… serious trouble!
Why? Why would they attack Tokyo?
Shirona was filled with questions.
But this wasn't the time for answers.
"Even if we can't do it, we have to!"
She declared with firm resolve.
"Just hold them off for as long as we can!"
"And also…"
Her expression darkened. "Send out a distress call to the other organizations!"
"Oh, and one more thing."
She seemed to remember something. "Send a distress signal to the devils too."
Yukari blinked, surprise flickering in his gaze.
"We're asking the devils… for help?"
"That's right!"
Shirona nodded without hesitation. "This is their mess. Let them clean it up!"
"...Okay."
Yukari turned to leave.
But Shirona stopped him again.
"Wait!"
"Don't say it like we're begging them!"
Yukari: "?"
Didn't you just say to ask for help?
Shirona looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "Just relay the message that the Old Maou Faction has appeared in Tokyo."
She wasn't entirely sure if those figures truly belonged to the Old Maou Faction.
But the moment that message reached the Underworld, there was no way the devil side would sit still.
Yukari gave a nod, then vanished from the Lion King Organization.
Shirona stared at Katerea Leviathan and the others in the sky, her jaw clenched tight.
Humanity was still far too powerless in this world!

Shuchiin Academy.
Just as the flood was about to strike—
A petite figure appeared in its path!
"Natsuki-sensei?!"
"Is that Natsuki-chan?!"
The students shouted in shock.
The nickname "Natsuki-chan" made Natsuki twitch slightly in annoyance.
But now wasn't the time to lecture them about respecting their teachers.
She raised her hand.
Buzz—
Space around her rippled like water.
The instant the raging flood hit, it was sucked into a black hole and vanished without a trace!
"Oh?"
Katerea Leviathan raised her brows, staring at Natsuki with interest.
"To think a mere human could possess such refined spatial magic."
Natsuki's expression was cold. She said nothing, focusing solely on shunting the water into another dimension.
"Is Sensei one of those supernatural users too?"
The students of Shuchiin finally began to grasp the reality.
"Sensei's so cool!!"
"I won't call you Natsuki-chan again!"
Cheers broke out among the students.
But none of them noticed the heavy look on Natsuki's face.
Space manipulation consumed a tremendous amount of magic power.
And although she couldn't estimate how much power Katerea's spell consumed—
There was no mistaking it.
That woman… was a devil.
And not just any devil. A Maou-level one.
Their magic reserves were simply on a different level.
At this rate, Natsuki wouldn't last long.
And worse...
Katerea wasn't alone.
A chill ran down Natsuki's spine.
This was the first time since becoming a witch that she felt such overwhelming pressure.
Of course, she could teleport herself to safety.
But…
Her students wouldn't make it.
Her golden eyes narrowed.
She would never allow anyone to harm Shuchiin!
---
Katerea chuckled.
"You're not thinking of stalling me forever, are you?"
She didn't take Natsuki seriously at all.
Sure, the woman's technique was impressive.
But at best, she was only as strong as a top-level High-Class Devil.
Far from a Maou.
Katerea raised her hand and gave a casual flick.
Boom!
Tidal waves suddenly burst up from the ground around Shuchiin!
Natsuki's pupils contracted.
"Ahhhh—!!"
Screams rang out again across the academy.
Kitagawa Marin stood frozen, staring blankly at the skyscraper-sized wave looming overhead.
"Run!!"
Someone shouted, snapping her out of her trance.
Her eyes went wide as she spun around and sprinted.
Thud!
But the overwhelming force of the tidal wave made her legs give out. She collapsed to the ground.
"Ack!"
Marin cried out, tears welling in her eyes. She looked up at the wave crashing toward her.
It's over. It's really over!
Despair consumed her.
Was she really going to die here?
Why… such a bizarre death?
This had always been a normal world.
And then one day, out of nowhere, some supernatural monster attacked her school.
No, the entire Tokyo area!
It was absurd.
Tears blurred her vision as she stared at the falling wave.
She was consumed by dread.
So this was… what death felt like?
Marin's body trembled.
She didn't want to die yet…
She still had so many cosplays she wanted to try!
She hadn't even experienced her first love yet!
She wasn't even a proper adult yet!
To die like this…
No!!
But the massive wave didn't care.
Crash—
The deafening roar of the wave echoed as it crashed down toward her.
"No!!"
Natsuki panicked as she witnessed the scene.
She prepared to activate her spatial magic again.
"No~"
Katerea narrowed her eyes and increased the magic output of the flood.
"Ugh…"
Natsuki groaned, her hands trembling.
She couldn't…
Hold on much longer!
Her breathing grew erratic.
She had overestimated herself going up against a Maou-level devil.
No good!
That student!
She widened her eyes, looking down—
And froze.
Step—
The sound of footsteps rang out beside Marin.
A tall figure appeared before her.
"Huh?"
Marin stared in disbelief.
Before she could react, the figure raised his hand.
And lightly clenched his fist.
Boom!!
The massive wave trembled, as if grasped by an invisible hand.
Then—
Compress. Compress. Compress!!
In the blink of an eye, Lynn condensed the skyscraper-sized tidal wave into a deep-blue droplet of water. Searᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Plop!
Lynn caught the droplet in his palm.
Katerea's eyes narrowed.
This technique...
It reminded her of the White Dragon Emperor's power to halve.
Who was this guy?
Just as she was about to speak, the figure flicked his wrist and launched the droplet at her.
Whoosh—
A sound cut through the air.
The droplet appeared in front of her instantly.
"...?"
Before Katerea could react—
Boom!!
The water droplet struck her abdomen directly, making her vomit blood. Her entire body was sent flying backward!
Crash!!
Far away, a skyscraper collapsed from the impact.
"Big Sis?!"
Bedeze Abaddon's expression twisted in shock as he turned around.
