Chapter 1027: Considered a Declaration of War

After Lingyun and Tokisaki Kurumi appeared, a trace of caution appeared on Kokabiel's face.

That shot of Kurumi's just now had come without a trace; even he had been unable to detect exactly where Kurumi had fired that shot from. Most importantly, that shot had actually shattered his Light Power spear—this was not something an ordinary person could do.

"Who are you people?" Kokabiel asked in a deep voice.

"Who are we? That really is an interesting question!" Kurumi tilted her head and gently tapped her own head with the flintlock in her hand. "My name is Kurumi, a Spirit, and you could say I am that little girl's protector!"

"The protector of that cat demon?" Hearing Kurumi's words, Kokabiel could not help but fall silent for a moment.

"So, having dared to lay a hand on my little kitten, are you prepared for how you are going to die?" Kurumi chuckled, yet it sent a chill through Kokabiel's heart.

"Department Head!" Just at this moment, a soft cry came from behind Rias Gremory.

Rias Gremory looked toward the back subconsciously and happened to see Himejima Akeno descending from the sky. Seeing the anxious-looking Himejima Akeno, Rias Gremory looked toward her side subconsciously and, seeing that Kiba Yuuto was not by Himejima Akeno's side, could not help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. After all, there were still two Holy Sword Users here; if Kiba Yuuto saw them, there was no telling what might happen.

"Kokabiel, you stole the holy swords, came to Kuo Town, and even attacked me—what exactly are you trying to do? Do you really want to ignite a war between the three factions?" Looking at Kokabiel in the sky, Rias Gremory finally could not help but speak up.

"What am I trying to do? Isn't it already obvious?" Kokabiel spread his hands, his tone full of arrogance. "At the beginning, I thought that if I snatched the holy swords, that fellow Michael wouldn't be able to help but kill his way over. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that coward Michael to actually just send two unknown Holy Sword Users over, not daring to make a move himself at all! Since I can't make a move on the Angel side, I can only start with the Devil side!"

"Is it just because of something like this?" Hearing Kokabiel say this, Rias Gremory could not help but clench her teeth, her tone carrying a trace of anger.

"If you want to hold a grudge, then hold a grudge against your identity. Who told you that your older brother is the Devil King Lucifer? If you die here, Sirzechs wouldn't be able to help but kill his way over, right!" When he said this, a look of ecstasy could not help but appear on Kokabiel's face.

"Madman, you are just a madman!" Seeing Kokabiel like this, Rias Gremory could not help but shiver.

"Right, and what about that cat demon? Originally I thought she was nothing special, but now it seems that behind her, there is also an unusual force. In that case, let's kill her along with the rest!"

Speaking to this point, the expression on Kokabiel's face already carried a hint of distortion. He slowly raised his hand, and powerful Light Power roared incessantly around him, then gathered continuously in his hand, transforming into a giant spear of light. This spear of light looked incomparably magnificent, just like an exquisite work of art. But the distorted space around the spear body already told others what a dangerous existence this was.

"Die!" Kokabiel laughed wildly, then suddenly hurled the spear of light in his hand.

The spear of light instantly tore through space, shooting rapidly toward the direction of Lingyun, who was holding Tachiro Shirone. Seeing that the target Kokabiel chose was actually Lingyun, a trace of astonishment appeared on Kurumi's face, and then she put away the flintlock in her hand; after all, she knew Lingyun's strength better than anyone, and he did not even take a mere spear of light seriously.

Kokabiel naturally had his own reasons for choosing to attack Lingyun, because by Lingyun's side were Tachiro Shirone and Rias Gremory; even if Lingyun could withstand this attack, the other two might not be able to block it.

"Careful!" Seeing the incoming spear of light, Rias Gremory's pupils could not help but shrink to the limit.

However, the scene that followed made everyone present widen their eyes.

Lingyun held Tachiro Shirone with one hand and extended his other hand, directly grabbing the spear of light. That's right, the spear of light was directly grabbed by Lingyun with his bare hand. And the spear of light, which originally contained terrifying power, did not explode, but was instead restrained by some even more powerful force.

"This, how is this possible?" Seeing Lingyun's movement, Kokabiel's face suddenly turned black, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Is this the strength of a Fallen Angel Cadre? This level of power is indeed quite decent!" Lingyun tightened his palm.

A crisp shattering sound came from Lingyun's hand; countless cracks appeared on the spear of light, and then it shattered with a boom, turning into countless fragmented light spots that dissipated into the Void.

"This, this is Teacher Lingyun's... strength..." Seeing this scene, Rias Gremory could not help but open her mouth wide.

Although she had long known that Lingyun's strength might be very high, she had not expected Lingyun to be powerful to this extent, being able to receive even a full-force spear of light from Kokabiel, a Fallen Angel Cadre, in this manner.

"I can take this action of yours as a declaration of war against me, right!" Lingyun casually flicked away the residual Light Power in his hand and said to Kokabiel. "Kurumi, I'll leave Shirone to you for now! I'll leave this bird-man with black wings for me to teach a lesson!"

"Okay!" Kurumi appeared by Lingyun's side at some unknown time and took Tachiro Shirone from Lingyun's hands.

After handing Tachiro Shirone to Kurumi, Lingyun took a step forward, and extremely terrifying power began to rise from his body.

"Eh, what about us?" Seeing Lingyun's movement, Jienuo and Irina Shidou could not help but be stunned for a moment.

"You, you just need to stay here and watch Lingyun show off his skills; don't go up there and get in the way!" Kurumi glanced at the two of them and said indifferently.

"No way, taking back the holy swords is our mission!" Jienuo, who lacked common sense, suddenly took a step forward.

And after this, Jienuo and Irina Shidou felt their feet being restrained in an instant. The two looked toward their feet; from the ground, at some unknown time, pairs of pale arms had reached out, grabbing their feet tightly.

"This, what is this?" Irina Shidou could not help but let out a scream.

"Didn't I say, don't go up there and get in the way!" Kurumi looked at these two girls who were somewhat lacking in common sense and said with an indifferent face.
