The draconic faceplate of the human regarded the Knight for a moment. "I called it the smell of an abattoir earlier, and that was not me being semantic. Ratmen eat humans. I would even say that they are cannibalistic. You’ve seen the skeletons in the lairs. The Breeder devours human flesh and bone, among other things. You devils are in charge of hunting Stray Devils in Kuō, but I am the one who has taken on the charge of protecting the humans from the ratmen. This has to be finished before the Breeder respawns another army of ratmen. My life, and the lives of every human and supernatural that lives here, depend on it."

After a tense moment, Kiba sighed and nodded. "I don’t like the idea of killing something that’s helpless...but I can see why you’d want this thing dead."

The snort from the human was unexpected. "Helpless? Hardly. I’m expecting a fight for my life down there. Not a single part of fighting these accursed rats has been anything approaching easy."

"Should we accompany you then?" Rias asked.

"I think not, for several reasons." The man shook his head urgently. "My [Gamer’s Gear] makes the world as a videogame to me, which includes the strength of my enemies. The weakest of you...who isn’t Saji Genshirō...is above Level Thirty, with both of you being close to or at Level Fifty. If my Sacred Gear treats this boss like Typhon from Titan’s Quest, and always counts as being ten levels higher than me, then I’m fine. If it goes more along the lines of ’always ten levels higher than the highest level enemy’ on the other hand..."

"...then our presence would be detrimental." Sona nodded sharply. "By the way, what level is Saji-kun?"

A glance. "Level five. Slightly below average for a human of his age. The usual level is around about seven or eight, especially for the sports clubs, and the karate and kendo teams."

"And what level are you?" the bespectacled devil adjusted her glasses primly.

"Level Twelve." He admitted. "But I have a solution to give me something of a boost in that department."

Reaching into mid-air again, he pulled out a round pink ball that Rias easily recognised from her forays into videogames.

"Rare Candy? Really?" she said sceptically.

"Yes. I am of the opinion that my Sacred Gear has someone or something inside of it and I am going to punch it in the face for this." The armoured figure sounded very much aggrieved by this, not that Rias could blame him. It was somewhat insulting to be treated like a Pokémon.

Turning around and removing his menpō, the man ate two Rare Candies and the sense of power coming from him grew. Rias didn’t try to see who he was, despite her curiosity. To do so would cost her whatever small amount of trust that she now held with him, and she noticed Sona grabbing her newest servant by the ear to prevent him from peeking for the same reason.

Once the man replaced his menpō and turned around, he said, "Well then, I shall see you this time tomorrow. The doorway will shut behind me; at a guess, you and yours will have to make your way through the tunnels in reverse. Feel free to break the traps as you go...they almost killed me several times, so it would be nice to ensure they won’t cause anyone any problems if they wander down here."

"We’ll be sealing the entrance shut." Sona informed him. "At least until we can get some people to sterilise this place and then erase it."

"Hopefully not while I’m in here." The human stated dryly. "Well, I had best be going. See you tomorrow."

With a loud crack, his sword, which had been out the whole time, cracked right down the centre.

"Well that’s irritating." He sighed in irritation. "Ah well. Time to break out the good stuff."

With that, he drew out a very impressive gladius from mid-air. Kiba paid special attention to it.

"That is a blade forged by magic." The swordsman said appreciatively.

"Yes. This damned dungeon forced me to use all of my remaining disposable ninjatō, which is a pain." The red armoured figure grumbled. "I have this Bloodmetal Gladius, but I was hoping to not have to waste it on the ratmen."

"Bloodmetal?" Sona asked curiously.

"Metal forged with willingly gifted dragon blood." The Sacred Gear User explained. "All of my armour is made of Bloodmetal. Dragon blood grants even weak metal such as copper the strength of steel, and I can even use this blade as a channel for magic, similar to a wand."

"That is rather impressive." Rias praised. "Where did you get these items from?"

"Loot drops, one of my personal favourite benefits from my Sacred Gear." The man replied and started down the staircase. "See you tomorrow, ladies."

With that, he vanished from sight and, true to his words, the door slammed shut and reverted to being a table as soon as he reached a section of the stairway that wasn’t a part of the door. Not that it could stop them if the devils wanted to follow him, but they had enough to be getting on with for the moment.

"Well, that was interesting." Sona noted. The bespectacled girl released Saji’s ear and watched as the two blue screens dissolved into motes of light. "He could pose some problem if we let him walk around without supervision."
