"Wha—"

"Yuuto!"

I was cut off by Rias shouting Kiba's name... He was severely injured, with many cuts and slashes around him, even missing an arm... Who the fuck? Kiba is a super devil you know! Who the hell overpowered him?

I quickly pick him up and heal him as well. Then I brought him to an unoccupied room and lay him down. His arm also grew back.

"He's fine Rias, I just healed him. But it'll take him time to wake up."

Did he drag himself all the way to my house? Where was he attacked? Who attacked him? How did they escape my... No, Nyarlathotep did she...? That's the only way! So, it's someone of importance that she's hiding... Shit!

...

After a few minutes Kiba woke up. I had put another more effective regeneration spell on him. It mostly healed his psyche and soul. Everyone else was there, I even expanded the room so we could all fit in there.

"President... Everyone..."

He muttered still tired.

"Kiba, you can tell us when you have more energy, we can—"

"No, it's fine... I can speak now."

He cut me off wanting to tell us what had happened to him.

"I had stepped out to get something in the shopping district. Gasper and I were missing an ingredient for our dinner so that's why I stepped out. It started to rain and when I was around the park someone in a robe attacked me."

"I think they were stray exorcists? They wielded... A holy sword, it's one that I hadn't seen before. It was crimson in color..."

"Crimson? Could it be?"

"Jin?"

Everyone looked at me, Reni looked like she recognized what the sword was too.

"Galatine is one of the thirteen swords of the Knights of the Round Table, a band of knights led by the Legendary King, King Arthur of Camelot. It was owned by one of the knights of the Round Table and King Arthur's nephew, Sir Gawain."

"Considered to be the sister sword to both Excalibur and Arondight, the Holy-turned-Demon Sword of Sir Lancelot du Lac, Galatine possesses similar characteristics to both as a holy sword as well as a unique blade that can never be nicked."

"Also formally wielded by an exorcist called 'David Cerro'. He was a teacher of Freed Sellzen, the psycho exorcist that was meant to help Raynare but I killed him before he reached her."

"Wait... Does that mean...?"

Many of their eyes widen and I confirm Rias's question.

"Yeah, he's a natural wielder of a holy sword, whoever attacked Kiba. He's a lot more dangerous than the ones wielding the Excalibur pieces. Everyone needs to remain alert... I can't detect him."

Everyone looked at me in shock. Yeah, there are some people I'm not able to detect thanks to the other Outer God currently awake.

"Is the other one... Hiding them?"

"Yeah, she's definitely messing with me right now— Well it should be us. But, yeah, stay on high alert. I also felt some exorcist earlier today. I know them since I did complete a request for them before— Well for Heaven."
