YAKYUU
Location: Mystery Academy, School Gate Dimensional Breach
Time: End of Day 1
Your attack on the boss would not go unanswered.
Upon seeing the sheer holy might brought by JT's magic ability, the demons had immediately grown agitated. All of them bristled at the chance to go and face off against the one who had dared harm so many of their brothers at once. Their blood boiling with cursed magical power, they were eager to cut down their enemy-
-However, it was the Demon Lord's will that stopped them. Even as the main body continued to fight against the vanguard, the Conquering Fortress Demon Lord did not lack the capacity to direct his own forces. He called at them to pull back from the Saint's group, to hold back their weapons and focus on the other, lesser human foes.
After all...
...He had already chosen the perfect foe to intercept them.
-It was Aiku who noticed it first, her sharp senses allowing her to look upon the battlefield beyond the figures of the fighting students and demons. Dodging the mass of swimsuit-clad fighters, a mysterious figure advanced like a flickering shadow, often jumping straight over the many groups engaged in fights. They moved like an arrow shot, undoubtedly heading straight in their direction.
The party tensed in preparation as with another huge jump the figure landed in front of their group, scattering a cloud of sand around themselves in the process. As they slowly straightened, the group was finally able to get a better picture of them-
Although bearing an unmistakeably feminine figure, the girl's appearance was completely hidden behind a grey bathing robe that for some reason also came with a hood, concealing most of her features. A few wisps of red hair fluttered loose from the obscuring hood, but they were not what captured the group's attention.
No, the thing you could not take your eyes away from-
-Was the shining grey light, that emanated straight out of her crimson eyes.
Encountered Servant of Region (Mysterious ???)
"So you're the guys I hafta take out, huh...?" The demon's voice came softly, even though her eyes remained unmoving and emotionless as she scanned the five of them. Despite the tension that hung on the battlefield, her words were free of any hostility or anger. They were almost uncaring in their aloofness, as if she couldn't muster the energy to provoke you. Such a stance was so utterly mild, so...
...It was without doubt, utterly gray.
"Alright." Without even blinking or gathering power into her body, the figure simply stepped forwards, her aura still just as calm as seconds before.
However, in an instant, the entire group felt the presence of death hanging behind their backs. An immense pressure emerged from the girl, whose emotionless gray eyes continued to penetrate through their selves.
-Dangerous.
Without a doubt, the figure before them was extremely dangerous. To oppose her was to put one's own life at stake, to gamble with the devil with all of the odds stacked against you. Such a certainty inscribed itself deep within the group's hearts.
However, before they could do anything-
"...Let's get this over with."
-She pounced, immediately launching an attack with all of her might.
ALASTROFIA
Casting her bathing robe to the skies, the group did not even have a chance of glimpsing the demon's swimsuit before she vanished in a flash of light. Lightning made manifest, her body disappeared in an instant, blinding the group for a mere instant-
-The sound of thunder scattered across the air-
-Only to reappear straight above them, her movements followed by a blazing trail of lightning as she hurled down a massive orb of light against the ground where they stood.
It exploded with all the might of a dying star.
Aiku has taken 312 damage. Aiku has been Blinded for 1 turn, decreasing accuracy.
Jackson has taken 256 damage.
Shizune has taken 360 damage. Shizune has been Blinded for 1 turn, decreasing accuracy.
Akari has taken 352 damage.
Catherine has taken 324 damage.
The blast of light caused the group's bodies to erupt with pain, as the holy tempest wrought havoc upon their selves. Akari was knocked to her knees by the strength of the blow. The gusts of light 'creatively' tore at the students' clothing, exposing more of their bodies without seemingly breaking it, even as the phenomenal blast burnt every inch of their skin.
The moment the group recovered, however, they realized that the attack was not done.
Servant of Region (Mysterious Gray) has internalized the [Holy] Attribute.
"Rest in peace." Hovering off the ground, an immense amount of magical energy was gathered around the demon, whose presence was now accompanied by an overwhelming halo of light that contrasted the long horn that shot from her forehead and her dark, bestial eyes. From her back sprouted two shining wings of light, their gleaming feathers angelic in appearance even as lightning surged from them en masse.
Said wings suddenly exploded with power as the second wave of the demon's attack triggered, swelling up in size as they merged into a single, shining appendage that was almost entirely made of holy lightning. Without so much as a cry, she detonated the massive cluster of mana, releasing the storm that was enclosed within.
A rain of thunder-clad feathers descended upon the group, shearing through their bodies without mercy or pause.

They were all blown away by the attack, scattered from the girl's position as the devastating shockwave sent them hurtling in a circle from her. However, despite the extreme damage taken by the attack, all of the group managed to stand up once again.
"Huh. My bad, guess I underestimated you. You're pretty tough for humans... Far more than we were." Lightning crackled around her as the demon made her descent, arching an eyebrow as she beheld the group's very much living state.
At that moment, a wave of healing magic descended upon the group, courtesy of the regeneration spells cast by the crowd of students hanging behind the bulk of the fighting.
Everyone has recovered 500 HP.
"Alright then..." A flash of something coursing through her eyes for an instant, the girl cracked her knuckles before she faced the members of the group, her body lowering into a martial arts stance as her body pulsed with magical power. "If I want to one-up that dork, I guess I'll have to get serious...!"
Her eyes glared straight at the five students, daring them to take her on.
No other demons stepped forward to join her side-
...Just this one was enough.
