Azazel headed out in midnight as per Rias' orders to confirm things himself. He was consulted by Rias about suspicious things happening in her territory. The chances of it being a Stray Devil was already scrapped out.
It was midnight two days later after he was consulted by Rias that Akeno called him using his emergency line saying that the "thing" in question has appeared and they want him to examine it.
Azazel immediately used a transition type magic after receiving the approximate location. Irina also joined in with the Gremory group as she was also curious on what was happening.
As Azazel arrived, he can already sense the wave of Rias magic. He then flew towards their location.
The location was an abandoned site in the Kuoh Town. The battle has already begun and magic attacks can already be seen.
When Azazel got close he heard Rias say the things she usually say but with a rough ending.
Quote:
You lawless person has entered and damaged my jurisdiction. In the name of the Duke Gremory, I will blow you away! ....Though those words will just go out the door.
Together with Rias, Issei was already wearing his armor and is on a battle stance.
When Azazel looked at the spot which is being illuminated, he saw a silver thing that is hard to describe.
It is barely human. "Barely" as in there are limbs, a head, stands like a human but that's it. It gives the feeling of a reconstructed being.
The whole body is colored silver and has a hard surface like that of an insect's exoskeleton and gives off luster. It looks like a machine but the smooth curve makes it look organic.
The heads sticks out and looks like the "grey aliens" that humans talk about but the difference is the number of eyes. There are these blue things that are supposedly the eyes and look like the compound eyes of insects. The nose and the mouth cannot be found.
More than anything else Azazel noted that you can't feel it's aura. He then corrected himself that the "thing" IS emitting aura but they are sensing something that they cannot explain.
Azazel said to himself that it was good that the Occult Research Club is puzzled about the "being"as well. With how long he has already lived, this is the first time he has met this kind of being. As a researcher, this kind of thing indeed piqued his interest.
Issei then questioned Azazel on what the thing is. A machine? A monster?
Azazel immediately replied that he doesn't know and this is the first time he saw it but it is unlikely that it is either a machine or a monster. He then proposed to capture it and asked the Gremory group to try to subdue it without damaging it.
Rias accepted Azazel's selfish request and nodded unwillingly and ordered Koneko.
Azazel instructed Koneko to use Touki and try to give a good punch on the "thing".
Koneko then danced around the "thing" using light footwork to see how it will react but it did nothing. She then delivered a blow to the abdomen and a sound like a hammer hitting metal reverberated all around.
Koneko then retreated to them and stared at her fist. She said that it felt like she hit a lump of rubber.
Azazel was confused as to why it would feel like a lump of rubber when it sounded like a metal was hit.
Before Azazel can come up with an answer, the foreign being showed signs of life and its and its blue eyes turned to shades of dangerous red.
Rias immediately ordered everyone including Azazel to scatter.
Azazel too felt the danger and flew right up with his wings. He observed an unknown magic circle pattern and right after, it shot five red lasers from its eyes.
Akeno then shouted that the lasers moves like whips.
The red lasers moved as if they're tracking their movements.
Unable to fully dodge, Rose deployed numerous defense magic circles but the red laser went through it like there was nothing there.
Azazel was surprised as a person like Rose will be able to use defense circles for every event and the laser slipped passed through it like it wasn't recognized by the defense. It even made Azazel more confused as the Norse myth has the most advanced magic system out of all the myths. Therefore, the red laser must be a higher level of magic than Rose's.
Rose was able to avoid the red laser by using a defensive body maneuver.
The other lasers tracked down the other members. Xenovia and Irina were particularly pissed off and proceeded to just cut the lasers with their holy swords.
This intrigued Azazel as to why Holy Swords were effective against the lasers.
Issei who was frustrated as well used Dragon shots to the "thing". Even with Issei's attacks, the being didn't show signs of defending or evading.
The Dragon shots created a large crater and in the center of it was the "thing" with its head and limbs cut off... although no body fluids were coming out.
Even with the "being" incapacitated, Azazel noticed that Rias still didn't lose her focus. Azazel then noticed that tentacles were growing from the ends of the limbs and heads and
