I just want to make it clear that while Sora can use light as a weapon because of the keyblade, it doesn't mean that he is invulnerable to it if used against him. He is still a devil and thus, the weaknesses of a devil apply to him.

The next day after school, Sora was tasked to deliver a new batch of fliers since he didn't have any contract summoners for the day. With Rias' words from yesterday lingering in his mind, the boy made sure to come back immediately after handing out fliers. He realized his leader was right, and those fallen angels might be up to something since they've been awfully quiet after the last attempt on his life. That was the reason why he was more careful today with roaming around town, especially by keeping his distance away from the abandoned church.

Still, the fact that Asia Argento was nothing like the priests and exorcists that Rias described bothered him. Even though he only met her yesterday, it felt like they have been friends for a long time. He couldn't see nor imagine that blonde nun harming others, mainly because he could sense the goodness in her heart, and a keyblade wielder's instincts never lie.

But what can he do? Since he wasn't allowed to go near the church anymore nor make contact with the people serving it, there might never be a chance for them to see each other again.

"I'm back!" Sora called out, entering the clubroom with his usual smile.

"Ara, welcome back Sora-kun." Akeno greeted with her usual smile, standing up from the couch and walking off. "Let me get you some tea, you must be tired after handing out all those papers around town."

Sora quickly reacted in an attempt to stop the vice president. He wasn't even tired, where did she get that idea from? "Wait Akeno, you don't have to—" Aaannd, she was already gone. Great.

"Ah, welcome back, Sora. Just in time, I'm off to do a contract. See you later!" Yuuto greeted, before disappearing moments later through a magic circle.

"You're done passing out the fliers I gave you?" Rias asked, looking over a small stack of papers at her desk, as Sora walked up to her with his arms behind his head.

"Yep! Do I need to do something else?" he asked, since the redhead usually congratulates him on a job well done once he returns after doing his devil duties for the day. The fact that Rias asked him if he was done with his task must mean that he still had more to do.

"Sorry for dropping this on you, but can you do this summon tonight?" Rias handed him a contract, and Sora looked at it for a few moments before turning back to her. "Normally, Koneko does this, but she's too busy at the moment."

The boy looked at the contract for a few moments before he turned towards the crimson-haired beauty. "It's okay, I got this!" Sora smiled and gave her a thumbs-up. "I'm always excited to meet new summoners, and all the more reason to since this one is a friend of Koneko-chan!"

"That's the attitude that I love seeing from you," Rias smirked. "You should get some rest for a while. Your contract doesn't take place until later tonight."

The sun had fully set over the horizon and the moon was shining bright in the sky. The streets were empty, which was a normal scenario in most of the suburbs of the town. In front of a relatively simple house, Sora appeared through a red magic circle and looked around for a bit before he rang the bell.

"Hello! I'm a devil who came here for a summon!" he exclaimed, waiting patiently for a good five seconds but there was no answer. "Hellooooo? Can you hear me? Is anybody home?" he tried to call out once more but again, no answer. Sora frowned and knocked on the door instead, but nobody came to answer.

"Wrong address? That's impossible, Rias told me that Koneko-chan is this house's contractor most of the time, I'm just filling for her." Sora thought to himself, now reaching for the doorknob but hesitating for a bit, his heartbeat quickening inside his chest. "Wait a minute…" The same bad feeling he had when he went near the church yesterday started to fill him, but he shook it off and opened the door slowly.

"Something's not right here…" Sora commented with a frown, finding things a little too quiet around here, signified from the creaking sound of the door echoing in the dark. Taking a deep breath, hs removed the sneakers he wore (which were thankfully not huge) and stepped inside, quickly noticing that the whole house was completely dark. In fact, the only source of light was coming from the living room. Sora handled this a lot better now due to the enhanced eyesight brought by being a devil, but it didn't stop him from stepping into something wet and sticky.

"W-What the…" the boy said in confusion. He raised his foot and wiped his fingers on the soles. Sora could already the scent coming from the liquid, and it caused him to quickly wipe his foot on the nearest carpet by the door in panic.

Even after dealing with this particular scent over a week ago, it still made Sora uncomfortable to the point that he almost hyperventilated. Sure, he suffered wounds that bleed all over, but seeing that red liquid come from something else which was the result of a horrible fate disgusted him.

As soon as he wiped his foot clean, the boy quickly put on his sneakers and went back to the pool of blood he stepped on earlier, now having a serious expression on his face. Sora threw away his urge to vomit for the moment, realizing that something wrong happened here and he needed to find out what it was.

Kneeling down, the keyblade wielder looked at the small puddle of blood and noticed that it led all the way to the living room. "This is a trail… and it leads… there." Narrowing his eyes, he followed the trail carefully until he reached the end of it in the living room, where his eyes widened to indescribable proportions at what he was seeing.

It was a male body nailed to the wall… or at least, Sora presumed it was a man.

It's hard to be able to tell things like gender when their skin was peeled off.

Their organs and blood seeped out of the gaping hole in their torso while their limbs were pinned ti the wall by large nails, legs together and arms spread as far apart as possible. It was a crucifixion.

Sora looked absolutely disgusted at the sight and had to keep himself from throwing up. Written above the human's head was a message in red, no doubt from their own blood: 'DIVINE PUNISHMENT FOR SHITTY SINNERS WHO HAVE GIVEN UP ON HUMANITY!'

"Who could have done this?!" Sora yelled out in shock.

And that was the moment when someone else inside the room began to speak, catching Sora off guard. "Punish the wicked. Those are some words to live by. HAHAHAHAHAHA, yes! Wise words to heed from a holy man!" Quickly turning around, the boy saw someone sitting on the couch nonchalantly. He had short white hair, red eyes, and wore a priest's coat and outfit. However, Sora could already tell that there was nothing holy about this man due to the wicked smile on his face and the bloody knife he was holding. Plus, there was some black-purple mist radiating off his body which could only mean one thing.

"I sense darkness in him. Gotta be careful!" Sora narrowed his eyes and prepared himself in case a fight takes place. "Who are you?"

"Freed Sellzen. Monster hunter, executioner, and exorcist. At your service." He stood up and bowed, before dancing around like a lunatic. "And you are the scared devil pussy this priest is going to exorcise next!"

"A priest?!" Sora gasped, as an image of Asia quickly appeared in his mind.

"Ya got that right. I come from a certain exorcism organization that you may have heard of."

"Then… it was you who did all of this?" The keyblade wielder asked, anger slowly building up inside him. He clenched his fists tight and glared at the white-haired man. This guy was far worse than any other enemy he had encountered in his universe. "Why?! What did that person do to you that made you do something like this to him?"

"He was asking for it," justified Freed. "Making a contract with a devil like you is proof that he's done being human. It's the end of the line, sinner!" he laughed in a maniacal way. "So I had to give him an extreme makeover, which I'm gonna do to you!"

Freed suddenly got in Sora's face with a crazed look in his eyes. The boy didn't realize that the mad priest was up so close until just another second, and causing him to jump back to get himself away from the white-haired man. "W-What are you doing?"

"Hm, from the looks of it, you're fresh meat." Freed licked his lips, creeping the spiky brunette out. "Well, there's no need to tell me your name! You're just going to die like the rest of them fucking sinners, anyway!"

"You killed this person just because he was talking to devils?!" Sora demanded, his anger taking over. "What's your problem? Do you have any idea what you just did?!"

"Well, duh. Do I hafta spell it out for ya? Making contracts with devils is a sin, brat! Devils use the dark desires of humanity to gain power. Humans who make pacts with devils are scum! They're lower than dirt! Gettit? Gettit? No? Well, I guess that makes you scum too!" Freed explain, grinning like a madman.

"If you're a servant of God, why would you kill another person so easily?! Aren't you supposed to guide them into the right path instead?" Sora asked, a mental image of Asia appearing in his mind.

"Haaaaah?" Freed wondered out loud in a mocking way. "What the fuck is this? Is this puny devil trying to lecture me? I already told you why. What, do you need a crash course for this shit?" He walked towards the victim's dead body and drove his knife into its head. "Fine, I'll say it again. Devils feed on human desire. The humans who give you power can't be considered human anymore. With that, I kill them in order to save them from being tainted from you shitty devils any further!" Freed stabbed his knife all over the person's body, causing more blood to splatter. "That's kindness. Amen~"

"Kindness? That's not kindness at all, that's pure evil!" Sora shouted out, summoning his keyblade and getting into his battle stance.

"Huh?" Freed asked in confusion, before a mad grin spread across his face. "Ha… HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, that's rich! A devil telling me, a priest, that I'm evil?! HAHA! You mad, bro? You mad?!" He licked the blood from his knife, causing Sora to glare even harder at him. "Ah, whatever…" he sighed, pulling out a silver pistol. "It won't matter once I spill your guts all over this place! Totally awesome, isn't it?" He laughed maniacally as he fired his gun, forcing Sora to roll away.

A laughing Freed then threw his knife, and Sora quickly jumped towards the nearest wall, before bouncing off of it and speeding towards Freed using his Flowmotion.

"What the fuck?!" Freed exclaimed, shocked at the strange red aura that enveloped around the boy. He then fired his gun at Sora, but the bullets of light seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the keyblade wielder while he was like this. "Shit!"

*CRASH!*

Sora crashed into the mad priest and both went rolling on the floor. Before the boy could do anything, Freed already recovered and elbowed him in the face before pinning him to the floor with his hands on his neck in an attempt to choke the life out of him. Sora's eyes widened as his keyblade disappeared, putting his hands on top of Freed's to try and pry his threatening grip off his own neck.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! How do ya like that, shitty devil?! I'm gonna kill you like this and spill your guts after!" Freed laughed, his crazed eyes staring straight into the boy's soul.

"S-S-Stop this…!" Sora choked out, struggling to breath while he did his best to fight back.

"Tell me, does it hurt? Does it hurt, you brat?! It'll hurt a lot more than that!" Freed used one hand to keep his grip on Sora's neck as he pulled out another knife from his pocket. "Now let's have some fun, shall we?!"

Sora's eyes widened even more as he saw the knife about to stab him. "Oh no!" With quickness that he never knew he had, he stretched out his hand and summoned his keyblade, before bashing it against Freed's head as hard as he could. The blow was enough to knock the crazy priest off him, and Sora immediately got back on his feet, albeit coughing violently to stabilize his breathing.

"You persistent little fuck! That hurt, ya know?!" Freed got up while holding his head in pain. He glared at the young boy who gripped his keyblade tight. "Che! Whatever that piece of crap is, it's no match for these babies!" He pulled out his gun again, ready to fire while Sora prepared himself to counter whatever Freed will throw at him.

"Father Freed?"

Hearing another voice inside the room, the two turned their heads towards Asia Argento in her nun outfit, looking terribly confused with what was going on.

"Asia?" Sora's eyes widened upon seeing the blonde girl in this place. Wasn't she supposed to be at the abandoned church? He temporarily forgot about the mad priest as he looked at Asia with a confused expression. "What are you doing here?"

The girl's eyes widened as well, seeing her friend from yesterday looking ready to fight against the priest. "S-Sora-san…? Why are you with Father Freed?"

"Eh? You know this guy?" Freed blinked, scratching his ear. "Argh, isn't it obvious? This guy is a devil, after all."

"Huh…?" Asia muttered, slowly turning back towards the keyblade wielder. "Sora-san… is a devil?"

Sora could only hang his head in shame. His secret was exposed to his friend in the worst possible way, thanks to the words of an enemy. "I'm so sorry, Asia. I-I-I didn't mean to deceive you, I was just… I was just supposed to keep it a secret…"

Freed only laughed crazily at this interaction. "HAHAHA! Oh man, just how hysterical can this be?! Forbidden love between a devil and a nun? Seriously? Are you fucking serious?" His face turned deadly serious almost instantly. "That's right, Asia. This guy is the shittiest of shitty devils… he hit me in the head with that toy sword, for fuck's sake!" Freed pointed towards Sora's keyblade. "Well, that's fine. He's about to end up like that shit stain over there!"

Asia looked at where Freed was pointing, and her eyes widened upon what she saw. "What…?" Tears welled up in her eyes and she collapsed at the sight of the skinned body nailed to the wall in a ruthless manner. "T-This isn't…"

"Oh, that's right. This is the first time you've seen a corpse, huh?" Freed grinned maniacally. "Well then, take a good look! This is the fate of any human who gets seduced by a devil!"

"You'll pay for that!" Sora turned his attention to Freed once again, charging towards the priest with rage that he never thought he'd have. The fact that he didn't care about Asia being uncomfortable with all of this got to him. Because of this, Sora was unable to block Freed's hard foot connecting with his stomach, forcing him back to the ground.

"That's the way it is!" Freed planted his foot hard on Sora's abdomen, preventing the keyblade wielder from moving any further. "Devils and humans can never live together! And the church- hoho! Don't even get me started on that! Not to mention, we're all heretics that God himself abandoned, just like the fallen angels! And this little fucker here is part of the job description!"

"You won't get away with this!" Sora gritted his teeth and glared at the mad priest, only to scream in pain when Freed threw a knife into his shoulder.

"Would you just shut your big mouth already?! I'm tired of hearing you blabber like shit!" Freed snapped his fingers impatiently. "Come on, Asia! Hurry with the trap!"

Instead of doing anything that would result in Sora getting harmed, Asia only knelt beside the keyblade wielder with a comforting hand on his head, much to the shock of the young boy.

"Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What the fuck is this?" Freed asked, looking unamused.

"Father, I think we have to let him go." Asia pleaded, clasping her hands together. "To aimlessly kill people who are led astray by devils… that is not the way of the church!"

"What the fuck?! You too, you shitty maiden?!" Freed demanded, grabbing the girl by the collar of her dress and lifting her up. "Did you already forget? All devils are full of shit, even this one! He's not buddy-buddy with you!"

"Put her down! She has nothing to do with this!" Sora shouted, trying his best to lift the heavy foot that was planted on his stomach.

"There may be good devils too!" she cried, trying to remove Freed's hands from her collar. But because of her lack of strength, she was unable to prevent the man from tightening his grip on her clothes. "I used to think that all devils were evil too… but after meeting Sora-san, I've learned that there are good devils in this world!"

"Shut up!"

The next thing that happened caused Sora's blood to boil, to the point that his skin began to flicker and turn into the color black, showing the inner darkness of his heart.

The damn priest just backhanded Asia in the face!

"ASIA!" Sora shouted in worry, before getting stomped by Freed's foot directly towards his mouth, silencing him. That was when he didn't feel any more weight on his stomach, and Sora quickly took the chance to roll away and recover for a moment.

"You shut up, shitty devil! I'm gonna focus on this little bitch for now…" Freed licked his lips and pinned down Asia by her throat. He then reached down and tore her dress apart, leaving only her bra. "Even if the boss told me not to kill you, there may be something you can do to calm me down." He smirked, squeezing Asia's breasts. The poor girl flinched and gasped from the contact, with tears openly flowing from her eyes. "What do you think? You're still a virgin, so how about I turn you from a maiden to a broken woman?"

"FIRAGA!"

"Eh?" Freed looked back just in time to see Sora pointing his keyblade at him. The giant key shot out a large fireball from its tip, hitting the priest straight in the chest and sending him crashing through a wall.

"That takes care of him…" Sora murmured through narrowed eyes as he walked towards Asia, who sat up and looked at him in worry. He ignored the fact that she was left in a white bra, since his attention was focused towards the bruise on her cheek from that nasty backhand she suffered.

Asia gasped as Sora pulled out the knife from his shoulder with great difficulty, blood oozing out of the wound he suffered. "Sora-san… you're hurt. Let me help!" she tried to reach out with her hands to use her Sacred Gear, but the keyblade wielder stopped her.

"I got it covered. I'll heal the both of us." Sora assured her with a weak grin, while the blonde nun looked at him in confusion. He raised his keyblade despite the pain in his right arm, before he uttered his spell. "Curaga." As soon as he casted his healing spell, Sora sighed in relief when the bruise on Asia's face disappeared just as the wound on his right shoulder became non-existent.

The girl looked shocked at what Sora just did, seeing the stab wound on his shoulder healing in a matter of seconds. "Y-You can heal too…" she breathed out, before turning her attention on the giant key that Sora had in his hand. "Is that your Sacred Gear?"

Sora shook his head as he stood up, feeling his strength return to him. "Not really. I'll explain it later, Asia. Right now, we need to —" The boy cut himself off when he saw Freed crawling out of the hole from where he crashed, causing him to narrow his eyes and grip his keyblade tight.

"Fuck you! That was really hot, you hear me?! Shitty devil, I'm gonna take sick pleasure in fucking you up so bad!" Freed shrieked out, putting out the last of the flames from his clothes. A good portion of his priest robes were already burned off. "You shitty maiden, get out of the way so I can kill him. I'll let this little slip-up slide once I'm done spilling his guts all over this place." he growled out, glaring hatefully at Asia.

"F-Father Freed…" Asia bit her lip, looking at the mad priest before turning towards Sora as though she made up her mind. She stood in front of the keyblade wielder, who was shocked with her bold action. "I can't let you kill him. He's not evil like what you say, because Sora-san has been nothing but good to me ever since we met!"

"What in the fuckin' hell? Did you not hear me, shitty maiden?! He's a devil and all devils need to be killed! You know what, forget it!" Freed laughed maniacally, pulling out a shimmering sword of light and pointed it to the pair. Asia took a step back out of fear, while Sora prepared himself to take action. "I'll just kill you both right now! No one will remember a shitty devil and his hideous whore working together in the name of their forbidden love!"

With that, Freed lunged in with his lightsaber and tried to slash at Asia, but Sora was quick to block it with his keyblade. The two gritted their teeth as they clashed against each other with their respective weapons, neither gaining a total advantage. Sora glared at the madman before him, realizing that this priest wasn't just all-talk. Freed was skilled with weapons too, no wonder he seemed quite proud of himself and his accomplishments.

Asia watched from the sidelines, unable to do anything besides hoping for Sora not to get hurt.

"You're pretty good for a shitty devil! Whatever this toy is, it can block the effects of a lightsaber, huh?!" Freed brought down his sword in a big slash, which Sora blocked by using both his hands as he prevented the weapon of light from getting to him. "Down here, you little fuck!" The crazy priest shouted, and Sora quickly looked down to see Freed's foot about to kick him in the stomach once again.

However, Sora was prepared for this as he quickly rolled away and pointed his keyblade at the white-haired man. "Blizzaga!" A massive chunk of ice shot out from his weapon and went straight towards Freed, freezing his whole body in place and trapping him.

"Don't think this will keep me down for long, fucking piece of shit! I'll kill you and the rest of your shitty kind!" Freed snarled, trying his best to break out of his ice prison. His maniacal grin returned when the lightsaber he held in his hand melted the ice around him slowly. "HAHAHAHA! Just wait, ya shitty devil! I'll get out of here and stab you over and over!"

However, Sora no longer had his focus on the mad priest, and instead went towards Asia. He quickly held her hand, surprising the girl as the boy looked straight into her green orbs.

"We don't have much time, Asia. That guy will get out of that ice soon, we have to leave before that happens. I know a place where we can be safe for the time being." Sora explained, glancing at Freed for a moment. He wasn't yet halfway in thawing through the ice prison he's in, but it would be better if they leave now.

"Uhm… I don't want to be a bother…" Asia said sadly and looked away. Since Sora was a devil, he was likely going to take them back to people who were the same as him, and Asia didn't really like the sound of it. The spiky boy then placed his hands on her shoulders, catching her off guard.

Despite the dangers of the situation that they were currently in, Sora was still able to flash his signature grin at the girl. "You won't, I promise. Besides, I can't just leave you here with this crazy guy. He nearly killed you earlier. Besides, we're friends. And I don't leave my friends behind, no matter what!"

Asia looked at him in shock, being completely silent for a few moments. "He thinks of me… as a friend?" she asked herself. Throughout her life, she never had many friends despite her constant actions to help others with her Sacred Gear. Especially after that event, no one wanted to have anything to do with her. Hearing this boy give her an answer that was the complete opposite of those instances honestly shocked her, but it was enough for Asia to smile back and nod in return.

"I trust you, Sora-san." she said firmly, a small tint of pink dusting her cheeks.

"Okay! Let's get out of here while we can!" Sora smiled widely as he led the girl out of the house, but not before picking up her discarded nun outfit in the process. The young keyblade wielder then stopped by the door when he heard Freed calling out to him, still imprisoned in a chunk of ice.

"You little coward! Running away from a fight, huh?! As if I expected something else from a shitty devil like you!" Freed shouted, halfway through getting himself out of the ice. "HAHA! It doesn't matter in the end! The fallen angels aren't gonna be happy if you take that shitty maiden with ya! They're gonna hunt you down like dogs and kill you like the scum you are! Those little critters too… we have them on our side, fucker! Those buggers are gonna eat you up before you even blink!"

Sora looked a bit surprised that Freed knew something about the fallen angels as well as the fact that those winged creatures were interested in Asia. So the fallen angels did have something in mind and they're planning something, but what did the blonde nun have anything to do with it? Plus, what did he mean when he said 'little critters'? The only thing that the boy could think of were the Heartless, but it wouldn't be good to assume things, especially since Asia was still here (who put her robe back on). He would save these questions for later but for now, Sora shook his head and answered back.

"So what? We can take 'em! Don't underestimate us, because you'll regret it if you do! Later!" Sora smirked at the trapped figure of the crazy priest before he led Asia out into the empty street.

"Sora-san, where are we going…?" Asia sent one last look at Freed who was still inside the house before she turned towards the boy with her.

"I'll tell you on the way. For now…" Sora knelt down on the ground and pointed to his back. "Grab on to my back. I'm gonna carry us out of here."

"Eh…? H-How are you going to do that?" Asia looked at him in confusion.

The keyblade wielder showed her a thumbs-up and a grin. "Just trust me. I'll handle things from here!"

While Asia still looked confused, she did as she was told, wrapping her arms around his neck just as Sora stood up while holding the girl's legs firmly. He struggled for a bit before getting used to the weight, before glancing behind him to see a blushing Asia.

"Alright, now hold on tight!" he grinned and before the blonde nun could ask him anything, Sora had already dashed through the dark street with his Flowmotion, eager to get back to the academy as soon as possible.

And there we go. Sora comes across that crazy-ass priest and meets Asia again. After a brief confrontation, the two manage to escape and are now headed back to the academy. Don't complain about Sora being overpowered by Freed here, because as much as I hate the guy, he can put up a fight. Plus, that encounter will teach Sora that Freed is not someone he can show mercy on, as is with the other villains of DxD. Next chapter should be interesting, since Freed warned Sora that the fallen angels will be after him now.

Goodbye… and good night! BANG! *too sweet gesture*
