POV 3rd person
There were several attacks on the Carmilla Faction. Of course, these attacks were from the Tepes Faction officially but were actually from Marius Tepes' group.
Eos woke up in a bed smaller than what he was used to. Big enough to contain the seven person who slept there but still pretty small to Devil standard. He yawned.
Eos: Really... are these guys not rich enough to have actual beds...?
Rias: Alright, we should go and try to speak with this Marius guy... Here, Eos, can you help me with my bra?
Eos: Mmh? Sure.
He clipped the bra of his fiancé before planting a kiss on her back.
All of them then went downstairs and exited the Carmilla castle. They had to leave the Tepes castle yesterday because staying could have caused conflict. Their goal was clear. Saving Valerie and arresting Marius.
Eos: Sona, you and your peerage cover us while we storm inside the building. Irina, Griselda, I want you two to scout the rest of the area. Azazel, be sure that no one escape. Rias' peerage and mine will go inside.
Azazel: You're becoming a real leader, kid.
Sona: Understood.
Irina: Got it.
The group then splited. When the two peerages reached an open space in the second floor, they were met by several Vampires. However, when Ingvild attacked them with her water Dragons, it had no effect.
Ingvild: What?
Akeno: It must be those enhanced Vampires that Elmen told us about.
Koneko: I have an idea.
Rias: The floor is yours.
Kuroka smiled at her little sister, perfectly knowing what she was going to do. The smaller Nekomata concentrated and summoned wheels of blue flames that she threw at the Vampires, having the same effect that Holy fire would, killing them instantly.
Issei: Wow! What was that?
Kuroka: It's called Kasha, it's a purification technique.
Issei: Really? Good job Koneko!
The white Nekomata blushed a bit before falling to the ground. Asia ran towards her.
Asia: She's exhausted, it's alright!
Kuroka: You didn't mastered this technique yet, but I am still proud of you, little sister.
They started to walk again, however, as they were about to go up to the third floor, they heard heavy steps behind them. When Issei turned around his eyes widdened.
Issei: G-grendel!
Grendel: AHAHAH! We meet again, Red Dragon!
The tall Dragon towered over everyone. Issei immedialty engaged battle, entering his strongest Scale Mail.
However, he made no significant damage, with the Evil Dragon throwing him around the castle.
Grendel: And here I thought you were a worthy opponent! AHAHAH!
Eos: Ingvild, weaken him please.
Ingvild: That will be hard but I'll try. Nereid Kyrie!
Her eyes started to glow and Grendel, even though he was trying to resist, was hypnotised by the soft voice of Leviathan.
Eos: I want to know. Who is your boss?
Grendel: C-crom Cruach.
Eos: I see... and where is he right-
The Dragon roared, throwing Ingvild out of the way with his aura.
Eos: Ingvild!
Grendel: Weak techniques!
From the corner of his eye, Eos saw the aura of Rias becoming more and more powerful.
Eos: Mmh?
Rias: This is a new technique, but you must hold him back, this will finish him in one hit.
Eos: Girls, you yeard the Lady.
Rossweisse threw magic attacks, Akeno her Holy lightning, Asia used her Balance Breaker to weaken the Dragon while Kiba and Xenovia fought with their swords. Kuroka was taking care of her fainted sister and Ingvild was still on the side. However, all of this had little to no effect, bit it still was able to gain time for Rias' attack.
Eos: Gasper, I want you to use your darkness to help me maintaining him in place.
Gasper: Yes!
Eos: 3. 2. 1. Now!
Gasper used his control over darkness while Eos used his Hell's Bind to block the Evil Dragon.
Grendel: W-what are you doing?!
Rias: We're making you meet your end. Extinguishing Star.
She threw the red and black ball of energy, catching Grendel in it's path, making the dragon cry in agony. When the red aura disappeared, only half on his head remained.
Akeno: You killed him! I-incredible!
With a single attack, she made more damage than all of the others done combined.
Grendel: I... am not so... sure of... that...
Issei: What?!
Grendel: Urghh... I'm gonna kill-
He was cut out when someone appeared, coming from the window. He was a tall handsome man with long blonde and black hair. He also had heterochromia, having a yellow and a black eye. He looked quite like Eos actually. What surprised the group was the two giant dragon wings in his back.
Grendel: B-boss... you came to-
Crom: I will take it from now on.
Grendel: Y-yes...
The Dragon teleported away.
Eos: I guess you are Crom Cruach... I heard you were the strongest Evil Dragon and even stronger than the Heavenly Dragons... impressive, very nice.
Crom: Evil... I am only researching satisfaction. I want a strong opponant... Lucifer gives me that.
Eos knew about the philosophy of the Dragon, he studied the texts about Evil Dragon this last week.
Crom: This is why... fight me, Red Dragon!
Issei: Huuu...
Eos: Hey! You might want to fight me instead!
Crom: I have trained for centuaries. You cannot beat me!
The Nephilim revealed three pairs of wings. Now, everyone developped their second pair already, but Eos was the first to get the third. The Hybrid smirked
Eos: Don't make me laugh! No one is my equal! I am the strongest in the universe! The power that killed God! A Nephilim!
The Dragon was intrigued.
Crom: Really? Well fight me then!
Eos: Let my friends go up there and I will give you the fight of your life.
Eos' goal was as clear as water. He needed more power in his peerage, and a Dragon who loves to fight would be a perfect addition.
Crom: Fine. They would only be interruption anyway.
Rossweisse: Wait, are you gonna be okay?
Eos: It's fine. He's clearly not the worst guy we ever fought.
As the group was about to go up, they were interrupted by the Dragon.
Crom: I must warn you, they are on their way to transfer the Graal to a new user.
Rias: Why are you telling us that?
He shrugged. He probably didn't know himself.
The rest of the group rushed while Eos summoned his golden sword, getting into position.
The two men smirked and launched themselves at each other, headbutting.
The group rushed towards the throne room and what they saw terrified them. Who they assumed was Marius Tepes was holding the Holy Grail over the dying Valerie.
Marius: What is this stupid Dragon doing? He was supposed to stop them for ten minutes!
Gasper rushed at his friend.
Gasper: N-no! Valerie!
Valerie: Gaspy... you need to stop him... he is too... danger...
The new possessor of the Longinus slapped Gasper across the face but he didn't flinch. No, instead, he looked directly at the man and used his power of darkness to surround him.
Marius: W-what?
Gasper: You dared to kill my friend.
Marius: You don't understand! This will birng glory to our Faction! We will-
He was entirely consummed by the darkness of the young Vampire. The cup of the Graal fell to the ground, making a loud noise. It's at this moment that Azazel and Valianah arrived.
Valianah: Oh... I'm sorry...
Azazel: Actually, it may not be done yet. We could put the Longinus back inside her.
However, as Azazel was about to put the gear back into the woman, a grey magic cricled appeared on the ground.
Valianah: T-this pattern!
Issei: Who is it?!
Out of the circle came out a man with grey hair and beard, as well as a huge robe that reminded the Devils of the one that Sirzech wore. He also had a cup like the one on the ground. With him was a small girl that looked like Ophis.
Rizevim: I am Rizevim Livan Lucifer. Pleased to meet all of you. Long time no see, grand-daughter.
Valianah: You... piece of shit!
Rias: W-who is that?
Rizevim: I already told you, Rias Gremory. Oh... maybe you're talking about my bodyguard. Her name is Lilith.
Rias: Like the mother of all Devils?!
Issei: Why does she looks like...
Rizevim: Well... why do you think I sent Cao Cao and his goons to steal Ophis' powers?
Azazel: It was you?!
Rias: But that means you are...
The eyes of everyone widdened.
Rizevim: Yes. I am the leader of Khaos Brigade.

Damn, there is quite a lot of new characters in this arc. Later on, I won't have a lot of pics for them because there is just no illustration for some characters, which is very annoying.
Anyway, good day to you and see you tomorrow. Bye!
