"THAT WHORE! THAT FUCKING WHORE! I AM GOING TEAR HER APART MYSELF!"
"Lo-Lord Kokabiel... please calm dow! Aghhh!" After minutes of wordless and tension-filled travelling, they had returned to the base. Right after, several Fallen servants fell victim to Kokabiel's wrath.
"What happened?! A-Are we under attack?" Valper Galilei hurried in, hearing and feeling as their whole base shook from the rampage Kokabiel began in his office.
"Lord Kokabiel is..."
"Haah... don't even ask." Mertinia shook her head as she cut off the nearby guard's explanation.
Lazily, she grabbed a box of juice and inserted a straw, before starting to drink its contents.
"Things... didn't go as we planned." And that was an understatement...
"You don't say..." Valper can barely hide his sour, concerned expression under his fake, grandfatherly visage.
"In that case, I guess, you did not manage to get the fragment you lost. Did you visit that person perchance?" He meant... the same who sent their prodigy on a "painful journey".
"No... and yes." That was the only reply he received, after that, the girl muttered something else under her breath. "I hate damn magicians..."
"Haah! What a shame. Without that fragment, the ritual will be considerably weaker."
Though it was strange even Kokabiel didn't manage to persuade that person to hand it back — or even force. But maybe, there is more behind it. Yes! He needs to ask personally.
"That person must be immensely talented to be able to deal with both of them." But who might that person be? Why didn't their scouting operation reveal that "magician"? There was no such threat described in their reports!
"If not for my research with my precious new "Grail", I would have gone personally to investigate this person." But alas, he reached a critical point, and he can't abandon his duty.
"Why do you even need the ritual? Can't Kokabiel just blow the whole town away and be done with it? He has the power to do so..." Seeing him in action firsthand, the girl suspected that was only a fragment of the man's true power.
"Ah! Indeed, as one of the leaders of the Fallen, he has the power to erase the town easily." Smiling confidently, the mad researcher pushed his round glass higher up his nose. "Yet... if he did do that, it would not have the desired effect. That being... to provoke all three factions into restarting the Great War."
Also, without this ritual, he wouldn't be able to test his theories and bring his Holy Sword research to an entirely new level.
"Albeit, if this little one will bring the intended results, even Excalibur will be a mere toy."
Glancing at the man, the girl couldn't help but snort in disgust. That twisted, yet calm smile Valper displayed made her shudder in her boots.
'Thud!'
Finally, Kokabiel left his room, slamming the door with such force it simply shattered into pieces — annihilating the door, the frame, the wall connected to the frame and part of the wall on the opposite side of the hall.
"My Lord!" The servants watched in horror, not even daring to approach the man who neatly adjusted his tie.
"Finished with your tantrum?" Mertinia walked forward — seemingly uncaring at the destruction the Fallen leader left behind — Even ignoring the possibility she might be the next.
Instead, she simply recovered another juice box, inserted another straw and handed it to him.
"Hmm..."
