The Infiltration Part 1

Yuri was grinning as he leaped from one enemy to the other. The students who were with him all came from lower families, meaning they received lower training than he had.

He was barely breaking a sweat while fighting 7 enemies at the same time.

His long wavy sword swung in the air as one student attacked him after another. This continued on for a few more moments before a dagger blocked one of his strikes.

"Oh, so you're strong huh?" he said.

Jessica fixed her glasses and leaped back. There were only two of them inside the arena. The others were knocked out by either of them.

"We're the only ones left?" Yuri pursed his lips and looked around. "That's no fun."

Jessica wielded her blade and attacked full force towards the skinny boy. After their blades met for the second time, a sound of siren interrupted their battle. Their attention was taken from where the sound came.

Yuri fell to his knees, the memories from his past was resurfacing.

"A siren? Why?" Jessica asked, holding Yuri. "Are you okay?"

Yuri screamed on top of his lungs when the siren continued. His eyes were bulging out of their sockets while his nails dug on his head.

Why is it so long? Jessica thought and looked around once more. The sky darkened like a dark thick cloud hovered over the entire island.

The hair on her body stood when she felt a surge of ominous aura.

"Everyone," Liu's voice rang from all the speakers. "We have been infiltrated! Exorcists and faculty on standby, report, and the students immediately!"

"Infiltrated?!" Jessica gasped. Their school was fortified with spells and talismans. How could it be?!

"Yuri, you're–" she wasn't able to finish when Yuri slashed her. She was only able to dodge because Leonardo pulled her. "What are you doing here?!"

"This boy is dangerous," Leonardo said. He took a step forward, dodging Yuri's sword as he did. "Step back."

"Lion!" Yuri yelled and hacked his blade on the Stained Soul. Leonardo held Yuri's blade, completely unaffected by the attack.

"I'm pure," he said. "Martin purified me without making me disappear. That's why your Reference has no effect on me. I have been living for decades, but no single human was harmed by these claws."

Leonard escaped from the 666 inside the gymnasium along with Liu, Martin and the twins. Each of them headed to different directions, trying to cover large areas to rescue students.

Yuri screamed again, pulling his sword back and slashing it again. He didn't plan on listening. What he only wanted to do was kill the lion in front of him.

When Yuri felt his energy being drained, he took a step back and formed a stance.

He lifted his hands above him, gripping his sword while his knees bent slightly. With a piercing glare and clenched jaw, Yuri attacked.

"Stallion's Howl–"

Adonis appeared behind him, using the hilt of his inactive sword to knock Yuri unconscious and he succeeded in doing so. He caught the thin boy and carried him in his back.

After the siren, Adonis instantly ran to the arena Yuri was in. He knew Yuri would be like this. One of the boy's guardians told him what happens when Yuri hears a siren.

He would thrash everything that he sees, especially those who reminded him of the incident.

"What a troubled kid," Adonis sighed. "Leonardo, what did Liu meant?"

Leonardo softened his gaze when he saw the peacefully sleeping Yuri. The kid was pure but tainted. It was complicated and he was once again fascinated by a human. The first one was Martin, the next was Devin, and now Yuri. He smiled before shifting his attention to Adonis.

"There is a member of 666 in the school," Leonardo said as they dashed to save students. The good thing about their open-field arena is that they could easily see anyone. "We suspect that there are more."

When all the other students were woken up, they headed to the gymnasium. Leonardo said there were Exorcists guarding there while the Bearers scoured the area.

"Mommy!" the child yelled. She looked up which made Sofia and Melissa's eyes widened in shock and disgust.

They were filled with scars and freshly stitched up wounds.

"What are you?" Sofia asked.

The little girl grinned. She twirled her pigtail-styled hair while her other hand held the giant lollipop two times larger than her head.

"I'm looking for my mommy," she chuckled. The students assumed a defensive stance that made the little girl's smile fall.

"You're both no fun," she said cracking her neck. "I'm Felicity. The 6th Order."

Melissa was about to speak when Felicity leaped and landed in front of her.

"I'm the sixth member of 666."

Felicity swung her lollipop, hitting Melissa on the side. She turned around while swinging her weapon, dragging both the girls along before they flew and landed on the ground.

"What a pitiful sight," she said. "Two girls versus one smaller girl. And they're losing."

"How interesting."

"Hello?" Morris called out. The forest got darker somehow. "Devin? If you're playing games, this is not fun."

He walked a few meters more before he heard a series of clanking swords. Morris ran to the direction. The sounds were fast and strong. There was no one in their class who could've fight like it.

"Devin?" Morris's eyes widened. Devin was in his Reverence form fighting a tall man with a mask. He was wearing a hood over his head and a cloak coated his body rather tightly. He was wielding a giant scythe with a few chips in the blade.

And even was attacking in all directions, the man was staying still. He only used one hand to wield his weapon against Devin.

After realizing who the man was, Morris had to help. Devin was tenfold stronger than he once was, but Morris could tell that the man was only playing with him. This wasn't the actual powers of a 666.

Maneuvering himself inside the fight, Morris wielded Afterlife with both hands. The enemy was too strong. There were two of them and the enemy kept up without even taking a single step.

"We don't stand a chance against him, Devin," Morris said. Devin did not speak or even looked at him. He continued fighting the enemy. "Devin?"

"Must. Kill. Enemy," Devin said. Morris backed off after realizing that the Stained Soul wasn't attacking. It was only blocking Devin's attacks.

Morris's eyes widened when he realized Devin's eyes were white in color and they were glowing. He held a stoic expression that didn't falter even when he flew a few meters back.

Divine Possession. Morris thought. It was the phrase Devin yelled before he disappeared. He must be possessed. But the question is. By what?

"Ha!" Stephanie yelled, whipping her chain against the woman.

The Stained Soul, who said her name was Blast, had two large horns on her temples that wrapped around her head. She wore a tight suit that coated her body like it was her skin. Her weapons were her two tails that were twice as long as her legs and had two sharp swords at the end.

To maximize the number of Bearers, Stephanie had to fight with Maltoise. The man was regarded as a Triple-S ranked Exorcist before his retirement, so he was as strong as a Bearer.

The others had to search the grounds in case more enemies were present. They saw Sofia and Melissa fighting Felicity and Martin was on his way there.

While Maltoise was attacking close combat, Stephanie was supporting him. She was dangling her chain, trying to find an opening against Blast.

Since Maltoise had a ton of experience fighting strong Stained Souls, he wasn't too far behind Blast. But he knew Blast was still hiding her true power. And when that time comes, they are doomed.

"This is so boring," Blast said. She was only using her tails while fighting. Her hands were crossed on her busty chest, looking at Maltoise who was trying to pierce through her defense.

A tingling sensation was felt throughout Blast's body. A familiar aura was incoming. She took a step back and just as she thought, Leonard fell from the ceiling.

"Good entrance," Blast mocked and attacked Leonard. He shifted into his lion form and together with Maltoise and Stephanie, they battled Blast.

A few moments later, they were getting the upper hand. Blast was slowing down and her defenses got weaker. Her swords/tails' movements were getting sloppier that made the three smirk in victory.

"Serpent's Control!" Stephanie yelled, raising her hand, and activated one of her Arks. The tip of her weapon attacked Blast on their own without her whipping them. It looked like it had a mind of its own for a few seconds.

The blade hit Blast in the shoulder, piercing through it. The Stained Soul screamed in pain. She looked down and pulled the weapon out.

"Now you've done it!" she yelled. She hovered in the air and a fire erupted from the palm of her hand. "Flames of the Empress!"
