The Princess Of Lucifer

Chapter 129

" Sheeze, it looks like we may have gone overboard with our shopping, " Issei said with a wry smile as he held four big bags in each hand. Without his recent training and devil physique, he was sure that he wouldn't be able to hold this much luggage.

"But for the welcome party, President Rias said that she needs all this stuff, " Asia who was next to him said. "You know Issei kun I can hold some more if all those bags are too heavy " she offered as she looked at Issei with a bit of worry. While Issei was carrying eight big bags she was just carrying two small bags.

"No no how could I ask Asia to do that? As a man, I can handle this much "Issei rejected her immediately. How could he as a man let Asia carry something this heavy?

While they were talking, Asia and Issei didn't notice the person who was walking in front of them. So when they met, Asia who was very weak was about to fall down.

" Asia " Issei was about to hold his hand and grab Asia from falling down but someone was quicker than him.

The man who had dark green and squinted eyes caught Asia who was about to fall. " I hope you are alright, Asia " he said as he gave a gentle smile.

" You are " Asia looked at the man who caught her with wide eyes. She felt this man is very familiar.

The man still kept his usual smile as he helped Asia stand up. Then he went on one knee and said, " Hello Asia it's been a while. My name is Diodora Astaroth the devil who you saved that day "

"Oh, this is bad news," Luna muttered as she stashed her binoculars. She'd been on her usual patrol when she felt a teleportation gate open near the marketplace. But she hadn't expected to see *that* person standing there with Issei and Asia.

Diodora Astaroth. Luna recognized him instantly. He was one of the people on Roxanne's "must eliminate" list. From the reports, he was a self-centered, arrogant creep with a fetish for nuns. Worse, he was a key player in the Khaos Brigade's Old Satan faction, and this bastard was now a marked target after the havoc he caused at the Vatican.

When Roxanne took command, she instructed the Seraphim to perform an exhaustive investigation into the church's ranks. She wanted a complete purge, especially targeting those bishops who'd dared to excommunicate Asia. With Roxanne in charge, Michael and the others could act without worrying about the system collapsing, even if faith values took a hit.

And it seemed the purge was timely. They'd already uncovered a disturbing amount of corruption and even Khaos Brigade spies within the church. Diodora's ties to the church would surely surface soon. But this guy seemed utterly unconcerned.

"Should I just kill him?" Luna mused, a sinister smile creeping onto her face. "I'm sure Roxanne wouldn't mind. If he's dead, there's no need to worry about his schemes." She was about to leap into action when the necklace around her neck began to glow softly.

Just like that, Luna, who was on the brink of hunting down a criminal, froze, her expression softening.

The necklace was a calming artifact Roxanne had crafted specifically for her. During the night, it absorbed moonlight, then released it when Luna's mind was on the verge of frenzy. Being a Moon Kitsune, Luna belonged to one of the wildest Yokai clans, cursed ages ago to accumulate malice whenever the sun was in the sky, driving them toward madness. The only thing that could cleanse them was moonlight. Knowing this, Roxanne had made the necklace to ease Luna's fears of losing control.
