Seeing that Freed was dead, Asia hurried over to me, checking me for injuries. "Don't worry, Asia-chan! I'm not hurt!" I reassured her, watching her worriedly patting me down. "Phew, I'm so glad you're okay, Kyoya-san." Seeing that I was indeed uninjured, Asia smiled up at me. "Alright, now that that's taken care of, and since this place is no longer habitable, why don't you come home with me, Asia-chan, and live with me?" I said, gently embracing the petite, golden-haired nun. "Okay... Thank you, Kyoya-san!" Asia trembled slightly in my arms, blushing as she agreed to live with me. But this tender moment was short-lived, interrupted by the familiar mechanical voice... [Ding! Discovered target character: Raynare. Task Grade: Green. Task Condition: Kill.] [Ding! Discovered target characters: Kalawarner, Mittelt, Task Grade: White. Task Condition: Kill.] Hm? Fallen Angels? Looks like there are still some little rats nearby. .... Suddenly, several "whooshing" sounds came from the nearby woods, and four Fallen Angels with black wings emerged, along with more than a dozen Stray Priests. Heh, familiar faces. That must be Raynare leading them. In the manga, Azazel ordered Raynare to eliminate Issei if he was deemed a threat. However, Raynare killed Issei directly, her reasoning being that it would be a mercy, as Issei's presence would cause fear and rejection from humans. In a way, she unintentionally helped Issei, as a human body couldn't handle the power of a Sacred Gear. Later, she secretly stole Asia's Sacred Gear, [Twilight Healing]. Asia died as a result of having her Sacred Gear stolen. In the end, she was easily defeated by an enraged Issei. In the anime, Issei punched her with his boosted Gear. Finally, she was eliminated by Rias. .... Raynare scanned the area, her expression cold and cruel. To her, Freed was just a pawn, albeit a disgusting one. But for him to be killed so easily, turned into a charred corpse in her territory, was a blatant insult. However, seeing that it was just two kids who had killed Freed, she couldn't help but curse him for being such a waste of space. "Tsk tsk, the annoying pests just keep coming, don't they?" I remarked. "Ha! You took out that trash, Freed, and you think you can run your mouth?" Hearing my comment, Raynare sneered. "And you, you disgusting witch! We Fallen Angels took pity on you and took you in, and this is how you repay us, by betraying us? You should just die!" Raynare's expression was one of pure disgust when it came to Asia. She wished she could kill her right now. Hearing such venomous words, Asia's body trembled violently, almost to the point of collapse. I held her close, comforting her gently. "Don't listen to her, Asia-chan. You see their true colors now, don't you? Just believe in yourself. I'll always be here for you." "Thank you, Kyoya-san..." Asia clutched me tightly, her fear slowly subsiding, replaced by a sense of security. "If I'm not mistaken, your Governor-General, only ordered you to monitor Sacred Gear wielders to see if they would disrupt the balance of the world. He didn't tell you to just kill them outright, did he? Moreover, the only reason you took Asia in was because you coveted her Sacred Gear, and since she's kind and defenseless, you planned to take it from her when the opportunity arose. Am I right?" "You're ignoring orders and acting on your own, just to please Azazel, but he only sees you as tools. I even heard that Azazel prefers mature, elegant women, not little girls like you. Tsk tsk, how pitiful you all are!" I continued, my words dripping with sarcasm. "Shut your filthy mouth, you bastard! You're not allowed to insult Azazel-sama! his name is not something an ant like you can utter!" Raynare was furious. My words had struck a nerve, and she was practically shaking with rage. "I'll tear you to pieces!" Raynare glared at me with pure hatred, then gave the order to her underlings. "Go! Kill him!" Hearing her command, the Stray Priests charged. "Stay back and protect yourself. Don't get caught in the crossfire." I gently told Asia and left a [Flying Thunder God] mark on her, just in case, then summoned [Zangetsu] and rushed towards the Stray Priests. I moved like a phantom among them, my left hand gripping the hilt of my sword. A blinding, dark light flashed, followed by several agonizing screams, and the battle was over as quickly as it had begun. A dozen Stray Priests had been cut in half at the waist, blood splattering everywhere. The scene fell silent. "Wh-what!?" "What just happened?" Seeing me slaughter more than a dozen Stray Priests in the blink of an eye, Raynare and the other Two Fallen Angels were terrified. .... "Quick, we need to work together!!" After a moment of shock, Raynare quickly recovered and ordered the other Two Fallen Angels to attack with her. "Heh, just what I was hoping for!" I grinned, licking my lips. I narrowed my eyes, gripped [Zangetsu] with both hands, and with a whoosh, I dashed towards Kalawarner, slashing down! Splat! A head flew through the air, blood spurting out. I then reappeared behind Mittelt, [Zangetsu] flashing twice in quick succession! Splat! One more pained cry rang out as her wings were severed, and her body was sliced in two I calmly placed [Zangetsu] on the ground and turned to Raynare. "Now it's just you. Have you decided how you want to die?" "You're just a lowly human!! How can you be this strong??!" Raynare was pale and bloodless, fear quickly turning into denial and rage. She formed a radiant spear of light in her hand, ready to hurl it at me. Seeing Raynare still trying to resist, I picked up [Zangetsu] again and dashed towards her. Splat! Raynare's spear-wielding arm was severed, blood spraying everywhere. "Aaaah...!" Raynare screamed in agony, quickly retreating to avoid another attack. "Hmph, I'll see how many times you can take it." Seeing that Raynare had only lost an arm, I was actually even more excited. I moved again, and Zangetsu sliced off her black wings. "Hmph, what a weakling." Hearing Raynare's screams, I muttered my displeasure. My overwhelming power had driven Raynare to the brink of despair. With her arm and wings severed, the once-pretty girl now looked utterly frightening. "Master, I was wrong... Please, spare me. I'll do anything..." Knowing she couldn't win, Raynare started to beg for her life, her voice laced with desperation. "Oh, really?" I approached Raynare, grabbed her chin, and lifted her face, a playful smirk on my lips. "Ugh, yes... Of course, Master, anything you want!" Raynare tried to refuse, to escape, but to survive, she could only whimper and try to seduce me. "Tsk tsk, Unfortunately. I'm not interested in a venomous snake like you. So please. Just Die!" I said, my hand still on her chin. I could feel her desperation, but it didn't move me. I had no use for such a vile woman. "Getsuga Tenshou!" "No, no, NO!" Raynare was terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably. But in the next instant, the church, along with her, was split in two. And with that, the Stray Priests and Fallen Angels were all wiped out. ..... ~ If you like the story, please leave a review! ~ Push the Story forward with your [Power Stones] ..... ~ (Soon +18) Advanced Chapters Available on Patreon! https://p-atreon.com/dragonnx (Just remove the hyphen to access Patreon normally.)
