“Won’t you be joining me in search for it? With your abilities, it could be done in several minutes.”
Asked Rias, as indeed with Vali’s abilities, finding someone on the Ultimate-Class that was hiding in a small town was nothing, but he just shook his head in denial.
“Nople… deal with it. I am going to take a look at our crow friends hiding at their base. Even if I heard it from you and Sona, I still feel uneasy about all of this. Think about it, why would anyone clear in their mind let them attack you and Sona if their strength is just a bunch of Mid-Class and Low-Class with one High-Class against Ultimate-Class even if they were hundreds? Of like those, it is useless. Most likely, it is a trap within a trap.”
Deduced Vali.
As someone who spent the majority of his life in the Amry and learning from the best among the Imperial House, Custodes, and Imperialis Militarum, which was skilled in military strategy as he was in scheming.
“I think that the real aim of the Shinto Pantheon was to kill you indeed, and Fallen Angels up there probably tricked the Shinto by saying that they would kill you, but they want to capture you most likely. Before you make any moves, I need to take a look at the situation myself, and due to the fact that I cannot transport the entire Khaos Brigade here, I will go alone or probably take only some of my subordinates.”
As Vali thought, several factions and people were scheming here against the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, as this was a priceless opportunity.
Rarely do members of the Chthonian Empire’s prestigious bloodlines leave the Empire’s domain or Baator. Usually, no direct members of the Chthonian Empire left Baator and set foot on the Earth, and if they did, they would be accompanied by many powerhouses depending on the Noble House.
For example, the House of Sitri was the Chthonian Lord House, directly related to the High Lord House Leviathan and Imperial House. Under normal circumstances, it was unthinkable that Heiress of the House would leave for Earth basically with no protection.
“I have already reincarnated Ddraig… and from what I have seen, my job would probably be easy…”
Said Rias with a grin as Vali raised his eyebrow; as the former host of Albion, he was a bit curious, and even now, he was still technically Albion’s kin, as he was transformed into a part dragon by him, making him a Devil Dragonoid.
“So?”
Vali asked while he looked at Rias.
“Depraved pervert with zero talent… not able to awaken Sacred Gear even after he was reincarnated… that would for sure hit dragon’s pride too much. Magisterium of Arcane and Magic Research already sent me a spell with which I would be able to communicate with him.”
Rias had a somewhat happy expression saying that as circumstances were doing her job more manageable.
“Still, be careful till you have not succeeded. If he leaves, then all is in vain.”
Vali lectured her.
Rias nodded and started unbuttoning her shirt.
“Do you want to f*** before you leave?”
She whispered in a sultry voice.

Several hours later, after the pleasure time was over, Rias got a message from Shirone that she had found spaced convict that was hiding in the Kuoh Town.
In the evening, Rias took her servants to an abandoned factory where a criminal named Viser was hiding. She was a dangerous devil at the pinnacle of the Ultimate-Class, charged with casting a forbidden ritual that shot her to Ultimate-Class at the prize of tens of citizens of Empire used as a sacrifice.
Rias stood there with her three servants, technically two, as Shirone wasn’t really her servant. Still, as Kuroka dropped her younger sister on Rias, she was in her care, as Shirone didn’t want to stay alone in their home, as Kuroka and their mother Fujimai were often not at home. Their father had long perished during the tide of magical beasts when he led Imperialis Militarum to fight it.
Unfortunately, even though he was the pinnacle Legendary-Class Devil, a Monarch Level monster showed up and killed him. Fortunately, he managed to stall for enough time until reinforcements arrived and civilians evacuated and were awarded the post-humanly title of the Hero of the Empire.
“Today, we are going to fight a criminal that escaped to Earth. Issei, you will do nothing and just wait here with Akeno, as this criminal called Viser is at the pinnacle of the Ultimate-Class.”
Said Rias as Issei looked at her, or her boobs, or her, but it was clear he was clueless about what she was saying.
“You didn’t read the introduction guide or remember anything I have said before?”
She asked, annoyed that she had a useless servant.
“I am going to repeat it only once more. A Power Hierarchy exists that measures how strong a person is; think about it like a level system or cultivation system. From weakest to strongest, there are Low-Class, Middle-Class, High-Class, Grand-Class, Ultimate-Class, Legendary-Class, Satan-Class, and Super-Devil Class, though some classes exist above that; currently, it is irrelevant, as it is almost night impossible that such lofty individuals would spare us some time.”
She explained slowly.
“So how strong I am, buchou?”
He asked excitedly.
“Low-Class.”
Answered Rias plainly as Issei looked heartbroken that he was on the bottom of the ladder.
“How strong are those classes?”
He asked shortly after.
“Usually, it depends on the individual, on specific abilities and other aspects. Generally, the average Low-Class can destroy an entire building with his strongest attack; Middle-Class can do the same to a small town, High-Class to small City, Grand-Class to a large city, Ultimate-Class can wipe entire mountain, Legendary-Class can destroy smaller sub-continent, Satan-Class can destroy entire Continent at their full force and Super-Devil Class can destroy small celestial bodies or asteroids.”
Explained Rias; of course, this was only orientational because, as she said, it depended on the person. Those with high mastery over magic, destructive Clan Traits, or those who learned forbidden magic can possess even higher destructive power.
