"Don't say anything careless. I don't remember when I betrayed humans," Xenovia's words made Blake frown and sneer.
Although Xenovia and Irina were two beautiful girls, and even heroines of this world, Blake's character wasn't the type to remain silent when being insulted.
"You have the original Excalibur, but you're with the devils. As a human, you are no longer qualified."
Xenovia said in a deep voice, her eyes always fixed on Blake's right hand.
"The people of the church really know how to act like they're so great. Aren't you meddling too much?"
Hearing this, Blake sneered. It was obvious that the church's high ranking officials had informed the two about his possession of the holy sword, the Sword Excalibur, in an attempt to make him feel guilty and pull him into the church.
Hearing Blake's words, Xenovia and Irina frowned instantly, showing some anger. They couldn't help but release some of their Magic energy.
The two, who had been indoctrinated with the church's philosophy, didn't think they had said anything wrong. Instead, they felt that Blake's behavior was depraved to the extreme.
Obviously, he had such powerful abilities and a powerful holy sword, yet he joined the devils, which they considered a heinous crime.
"You came to this small city just for Blake?"
Seeing that they were arguing, Rias quickly interrupted them and asked with a cold face. Her blue eyes were as deep as the ocean.
"Although that is a factor, the most important issue is that Excalibur was stolen! There are two swords in the headquarters of the Archaeological Church, including mine. There are also two swords in the Protestant Church and two in the Orthodox Church. The remaining one was lost in the three-way war between God, Devil, and Fallen Angels. After that, they all fought for Excalibur. Now, the person who took Excalibur has fled to Japan, which is here."
The girl with green highlights in her hair, Xenovia, explained the shocking fact in a slightly angry tone.
Hearing this, Rias put her hand to her head, sighed, and asked with a headache:
"There are so many things happening in my territory. Who took Excalibur?"
"We already know who ordered it. The one who gave the order was Grigori's cadre, Kokabiel."
"Kokabiel... a fallen angel cadre who survived the previous war... This name is also recorded in the Bible."
Rias couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard the name of the fallen angel mentioned by Xenovia.
Hearing this name, Akeno and Koneko also showed solemn expressions. This was one of the legendary characters, much stronger than they were now.
Only Blake and Kanna remained calm at the scene.
Blake didn't take the previous quarrel to heart, but he was a bit unhappy with the church's behavior. As for Kokabiel, although he was indeed a troublesome opponent in battle, Blake didn't consider him an enemy that required a death match.
The strength of the Ultimate Class wasn't enough to endanger his life now. Only the Satan Class could make Blake treat it with caution.
Besides, Kanna alone could defeat Kokabiel.
"...This incident is between us and the fallen angels. You are also mixed up in this town. If unrelated people are involved, it will be troublesome."
Scanning the reactions of Rias and the others, Xenovia spoke again, with an extremely firm attitude and no concessions.
"You're quite arrogant. Aren't you afraid that we and the fallen angels will join forces to attack for the holy sword?"
Hearing this, the people in the supernatural research department raised their eyebrows, and Rias even mocked her. For these tricks, the IQ of the people present was above average, so they could see through it.
"For devils, holy swords are taboos. Aren't your interests the same as those of the fallen angels? If you join forces, I will destroy you too..."
As soon as she said this, Xenovia fell silent, feeling a chill on her back, as if she were being stared at by a prehistoric beast.
"You want to destroy us with just two inferior holy swords? You seem a little too arrogant."
Blake looked at Xenovia with his crystal blue eyes, speaking at a moderate pace. His tone was flat, but it gave an incomparable sense of oppression.
"...I've said everything I needed to say. So, let's say goodbye. I hope you won't disturb us from our mission. It's almost time for us to leave... Irina, let's go back."
After a long silence, although under pressure from Blake, Xenovia still didn't surrender. She took a deep breath and spoke.
"Wait, Xenovia, I still have something to say."
Listening to Xenovia's words, Irina slowly shook her head and looked at Blake on the side.
"As the holder of the Sword of Promised Victory, I will definitely bring you back to the church. Remember this."
And it was this sentence that made Rias and the other girls frown and look at Irina with angry expressions.
These two were too arrogant. They said they would destroy them, but now they wanted to snatch Blake.
The mission is released: make the two girls to become devils, with a reward of 100 luck points.
Just as Blake raised his eyebrows, a system prompt sounded in his mind, making him look strange.
What is this? The system can't stand it anymore. It wants to retaliate and kidnap the two girls from the church...
After Irina's words, Xenovia, who had been the first to leave, stopped and her eyes fell on the figure behind Blake.
"Asia Argento, as a former saint, have you fallen so low and become a devil after being expelled by the church? If you still have a little faith in the Lord, then commit suicide."
Hearing this, Asia's face froze for a moment, and then she showed a low, gloomy expression, tears welling in her eyes. Obviously, she was deeply hurt by this comment.
"Xenovia, right? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, I don't mind drawing my sword."
Blake's crystal blue eyes flashed a cold light as he spoke in a deep voice.
Although these two were the targets of the mission and had good hearts, they were also quite cute. But now that Asia had been made to cry, Blake's anger had been aroused.
Hearing this, Xenovia looked at Blake and Asia deeply, then pulled the excited Irina away, closing the door behind them.
