The Knight Goddess 2: Prophecy

Chapter 157: Shalba Beelzebub

The one who intruded by making a hole in the dimension is a man with light armor and cape. The ORC only saw him once but they instantly recognized the man

He landed between the 2 groups and glared specifically at Issei and Vali

"It has been a while. Red Dragon Emperor." He shifted his glare to Vali who was on the 13th floor. "And to you, Vali."

"Shalba Beelzebub." Issei said with narrowed eyes. He couldn't forget the man who once took away Asia's life

"The leader of the Old-Maou faction. What is he doing here?"

"And I thought he was obliterated the last time?" spoke Erin after Azazel. "He must have found a way to escape."

Siegfried took a step forward and spoke to Shalba

"Shalba. I did receive a report but I never thought you survived and were acting by yourself."

"Hey Siegfried. I certainly did get lots of assistance from you people. You have my gratitude. Thanks to that, my wounds have healed... though I did lose Ophis' snake and my powers are lower than before."

"And the reason for you to come here is?"

"Nothing much. I just thought that I would declare war on you." Shalba puts on an evil smile and revealed what was under his cape. A boy appeared underneath and looking at his eyes, it seems like he was being controlled

"Leonardo!" Siegfried and Georg grew shocked

"Shalba, why did you bring that boy here? No. Why is he with you? Leonardo is supposed to be on a different mission!"

"I thought I would have him assist me for a bit." A glint ran through Shalba's eyes. "Just like this!"

*(CHING!)*

Shalba activated an ominous magic circle within his hand and placed it closer to Leonardo. The devil letters within the magic circle moved fast and Leonardo screamed in pain

"ARGGHHH!"

A shadow expanded and covered the whole field. Shalba flew up from where he was and then laughed out loudly

"Annihilation Maker is a very splendid and idealistic ability! And people say that he specializes in creating anti-monsters! That's why, I kidnapped him who was doing a mission with another group from the Hero-faction!"

Shalba's evil grin grew wider

"Now then. I will have him create it! A monster than can eliminate the current devils of the world!"

"ZUOOOOOOON!"

Something was created from the shadow. A huge head was appearing out of it and it started to shift into a creature.

It has a large torso, thick arms, and overwhelming legs to support its body. The creature that was created from the shadow covers the whole field. Suddenly, the creature roared and the 2 groups felt like their eardrums would break.

"A gigantic monster! It is two heads bigger than Great Red!" Rias said in shock. The monster was about 200 meters tall and other smaller monsters started to appear from its shadow

*(FLASH!)*

A large magic circle was created below the monsters' feet. It was a transportation magic circle and Shalba laughed maniacally once again

"I'm planning to transport these monsters to the Underworld to wreck havoc! It's a humongous anti-monster! It will certainly eliminate a lot of devils in the Underworld!"
