Chapter 888 Runeas Gremory
Benihime, wearing a white v-neck shirt, blue skinny jeans, and a fox mask over her face, stepped away from the coffin while carrying her katana. Kisuke followed her to ask her for the complete story first before examining the coffin because he found Benihime's seal on it while also leaving Le Fay to reinforce and remove the traces of the summoning.
"What exactly is that?... No... Since it's a coffin, who exactly is that?" asked Kisuke while analyzing the Demonic Power that's coming off from it, 'It's unusually dense but also a bit different that of normal Demonic Power?'
"I don't know." Benihime shrugged her shoulders, "When I arrived, some of Hades' men seemed to be extracting blood samples from it. I took a peek and the only thing I could figure out was that it was a woman. I'm not really sure if she's a Devil despite all of that Demonic Power, and the most surprising of all was that she's still alive, even though her body was already half decayed. It must be an agonizing torture to be kept alive that way."
Kisuke thought about it for a moment while Benihime was unsealing the coffin from her position and a certain person came to mind, which made him open his eyes wide, 'Could it be!?'
"Benihime, don't release the seal!" Kisuke turned around and saw that Riveria approached the coffin out of curiosity while no one else did because they were still in their defensive position, "Riveria!"
Riveria stopped her steps and turned around with confusion, however, Kisuke couldn't continue his words when a mass of Demonic Power exploded under them, crushing through all the floors and arriving in the hall. A young-looking beautiful woman with lavender eyes and bright crimson eyes tied in a two-sided updo and a small crown-like accessory on the top of her head.
"P-Progenitor!?" Zeoticus exclaimed upon seeing the woman covered with a very dense crimson Demonic Power that's only second to what a Super Devil could emit.
However, the newcomer ignored his call and only set her eyes upon the coffin with great concern reflected on her eyes. And upon seeing Riveria who was closest to it, she immediately marked her a threat to the coffin and instantly took action. Instead of a normal set of Devil Wings, hers was made from pure crimson Demonic Power that she emitted. These crimson wings then flapped, instantly propelling her forward in an attempt to remove the threat.
All of a sudden, a man with pale blonde hair wearing an oriental outfit appeared in front of the green-haired Elf. However, that didn't matter as he was only added to the list of threats. Extending her hand out, it was covered by her Demonic Power and formed into a set of large claws that was in no way inferior to Crom's or maybe even sharper.
Everyone else in the room tried to take action with Issei even going straight into his Cardinal Crimson Promotion form, Vali into his Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive mode, and Vasco releasing a massive amount of Holy Power in an attempt to stop the clash. But even then, they were already too late and saw Kisuke sighing to himself.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was pissed, however, not at the incoming enemy, but at his own inadequacy. He'd already promised Riveria's protection and safety and he wasn't even bringing her anywhere dangerous, yet here he is, blocking an attack that would instantly kill her when something like this shouldn't happen in the first place.
With that brief frustration taking over within him for an instant, he ended up going a bit overboard.
Zeoticus wanted to object but he trusted his mother's judgment in the end, 'Just why did she wake up now? Is it because of that coffin?', he asked himself while looking at the confrontation.
"Ummm... Hello?", asked the girl in front of Kisuke, "B-big brother, who are you?"
The members of the Gremory family except for Milicas almost retorted, but they were able to collectively calm themselves, partly thanks to the scary aura coming off of Kisuke.
As Kisuke's second horn fully formed and the other half of his body became fully white, he finally answered, "Shouldn't you be saying something first?"
The girl thought for a bit before realizing it, "Ah... Where're my manners? I sincerely apologize for attacking first, big brother. I'm Runeas Gremory." She introduced herself before pointing towards the coffin behind him, "And the one behind you is my mother."
Those who already knew who Runeas was were stunned at her announcement.
"Runeas? Why does that name sound familiar?" asked Crom, who'd already returned to his human form.
"Runeas Gremory, the original Gremory.", answered Vasco who didn't ease up.
"T-the original Gremory? That's Rias' ancestor? So she's still alive...", muttered Issei, but then he recalled what she'd just said, "W-wait. Her mother? T-then inside that coffin is..."
"There's only one mother all of the 72 original Devils ever knew." Vali sighed while also taking back his armor, trying to withstand Kisuke's pressure dryly, "Should I say that as expected of his companion? To just swipe the coffin containing the mother of all Devils and my great-grandmother."
"Lilith..." muttered Issei.
However, that wasn't the most interesting thing for Vasco, "More importantly, what is Kisuke Urahara?"
A smile flashed across Crom's face and said, "Who knows? Only one thing that I'm sure of is that he has been holding back."
