I don't own "High School DxD"

AxA-Life.6 The Seal of Solomon

"Target acquired. Begin elimination prose."

With that, the fallen angel girl's eye started to glow in a strange way that resembled a robot. Just then, she spread out her wings and STARTED SHOTING LASER BEAMS FROM THE TIP OF HER WINGS! HOW!? HOW IS SHE DOING THAT!?

I could only move backwards really fast in order to escape her wrath. Himiko, on the other hand, was jumping all over the place. It was clear that she didn't expect to encounter something like this either.

It was clear by the way she was gripping Muramasa that Himiko was waiting for the right opportunity to counter attack.

Of course I couldn't really afford to just stand around and watch Himiko jump away from laser beams. I have to keep moving or I'll end up with a hole in my chest or something! I don't want to die! Even if it is by the hand of a first-class beauty like her!

"Shirou!"

I looked over and saw Himiko looking me in the eye. Hmm, 'You distract her while I attack her from behind'… that's a suicide mission! No way am I going to do it! As I said before, I don't want to die!

Hmm, another eye message. Let's see, 'Do it or I'll help her kill you'.

…I don't have a choice in the matter, do I?

With a sigh, I changed directions and charged forward. I'm not the smartest guy, so this is the best I could come up with. That said it seems like it worked. The fallen angel girl changed all of her attacks to aim at me and only me. Luckily I managed to keep dodging all of her attacks.

Just then, Himiko appeared behind the fallen angel girl and swung Muramasa down.

"Danger detected. Employ energy barrier."

I thought that that was it for her, but then a barrier of some sort appeared around the fallen angel girl, blocking Muramasa.

Himiko seemed completely shocked by what just happened. Before the fallen angel girl would do anything, Himiko simply jumped back and prepared for whatever would come next.

Just then, small ripple appeared around the fallen angel girl and… missiles appeared! She's firing missiles at us now! Just what is this chick anyways?

Anyways, Himiko managed the run and grab me by the collar, pulling me away from danger. Behind us, a large explosion appeared. I could actually feel the blast wave hit and push us forward. And it was hot! Burning even! What, am I in an American action film now! Have I entered 'The Expendables' or something? I'm not expendable!

If this is an action fill, then where's Rambo! Rambo, save me!

"Shirou, get a hold of yourself. This enemy is formidable, so we have to keep on guard."

"Easy for you to say! I don't even having a weapon to fight with, not that I know how to fight anyways!"

"Hmm, then we agree. You will continue to be bait while I try to find a way to bypass that barrier of hers."

With that, Himiko disappeared in a flash.

"Wait! We're not agreeing on anything! We never even talked about anything! Don't go making decisions on your own like that! God damn it!"

Of course since she was already gone, I was just yelling out at empty air.

Sigh, guess I don't have a choice.

"Let's run away!"

So I headed into the wood.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I was moving through the woods when I decided to stop and take a breather. I hope that I got away from that girl. Himiko might get pissed at me for leaving her to deal with that fallen angel girl by herself, but I don't care. I just wanted to get out of there alive.

"Target acquired. Missiles locked. Begin firing process."

With that, missiles appeared and started to shoot around me! I just ran and jumped as far as I could. Looking behind, I saw that girl floating there, looking down at me. and no Himiko in sight. Great, what am I supposed to do now? I'm completely exhausted from all that running, so I don't think I'll be able to escape from her for much longer.

The girl looked down at me, spreading out her wings. It was clear she was getting ready to finish me off. Well, I guess this is the end. My life was short… and meaningless. I DID NOTHING WITH IT! I'VE NEVER EVEN KISSED A GIRL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Please God, save me!

Just then, something strange happened. I held out my hand and a large magic circle appeared. Inside of the circle was what appeared to be a six-pointed star and dots between each point. It kind of reminded by of the Star of David.

It completely blocked her incoming attack. Seemingly caught off guard, the girl simply looked at me.

"Magical Energies detected. Holy Aura detected. Blend of Holy Aura and Magical Energies unregistered. Attempting to find source of unknown power. Searching… searching… searching… source discovered. Identified as Seal of Solomon."

Seal of Solomon? What's that? I've never heard of such a thing.

"Determining best course of action. Seal of Solomon's power unknown. Best course determined. Begin firing missiles and lasers, with addition to Holy Spears."

With that, she shot lasers from her wing tips, missiles from the ripples around her wings, and through spears of light of her hand.

To counter, I simply held out my hand again and concentrated on the magic circle, the Seal of Solomon. It completely blocked all of the girl's attacks. Not only that, but I noticed chains reaching out and binding her.

The girl tried to untangle herself from the chains, but they just continued to move around and completely bonded her.

As I was wondering what happened, I heard footsteps. Looking behind, I saw Himiko, whose eyes were completely opened wide in shock.

"I was hiding in the bushes, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. But I had no idea that something like this would happen."

She then looked over at the magic circle.

"It does look exactly like the Seal of Solomon. But that's impossible. Only the descendants of King Solomon can use it, but their all dead. In fact, every member of the Davidic Line died during the Great War. They were the first to go on Heaven's side."

King Solomon? Davidic Line? Why do I feel like I'm learning something very important about myself right now?

"So, do you have any idea what's going on here?"

"…According to legend, King Solomon bonded 72 demons as his servants with the Seal of Solomon, a power given to him by God. Others say that it was djinn that he bonded instead, but that doesn't matter. The Seal of Solomon is an almighty power that can make any being the wielders servant. If this is truly the Seal of Solomon, then it must be binding her to you."

"…"

I love this power. With it, I can bind any and all hot chicks to me! This is awesome!

As I was celebrating in my head, the chain started to flicker. Taking advantage of this, the fallen angel girl broke free. Flapping her wings, she rose up higher into the sky.

"Re-determining best course of action with new information. Best course determined. Retreat from battle and await new orders."

With that, she flew into the air and left. Great, and that was a great opportunity to gain a beauty as a servant! Now what am I supposed to do for a superhot chick as a servant! Hmm, maybe I could use it on Himiko…

I felt a cold blade on by neck, and a chill ran down my spine.

"Don't even think of using that thing on me, or Gabriel-sama. In fact, if you even attempt to use it on Gabriel-sama, I'll kill you."

"…Yes Madam. I swear that I'll never use this on Gabriel or you."

With that, she nodded her head and sheathed Muramasa.

"Hmm, I think we should head home now."

"Wait, what about that nun? Issei-san is still fighting, right?"

Himiko looked over toward the old church.

"No, the battle is done. I just sensed Rias Gremory eliminating the fallen angel in charge. There's no more reason for us to be here. Besides…"

She looked over at me.

"I don't know why, but you can use the Seal of Solomon. Something like that will definitely grab her attention. She'll either eliminate your, or use the devil's temptation to recruit you into her peerage. I will not allow either situation to happen."

Himiko then turned around and started to head out of the woods.

"Now come. Your friend will know you fought with the scare around the entrance. They'll understand you not being there for their final battle."

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

When I left the woods, I saw something that pissed me off.

"Yo."

"I'LL KILL YOU, BIRD-MAN!

It was Hazazel. He was just leaning on a tree, acting all cool and stuff. So I did the only logical thing.

With a sudden burst of energy, I jumped forward and strangle to strangle the bastard! He lost his composer then, since he was attempting to remove me unnaturally strong grip from his neck.

"You left me there while fighting was your idea! I'll chock all the air out of you! I swear to God I will!"

"As much as I'd like to see that, I must stop you here."

Himiko pulled me away from Hazazel.

"Although a good-for-nothing fallen angel, he is Azazel's younger brother. Killing him would cause all kinds of problems."

"I don't care! I don't care if he's the fallen angels Governor General! I don't care if I'll start a new all-out war! All I care about is my unrelenting desire to kill him!"

"Keep that psychopath away from me!"

I was struggling against Himiko's grasp while Hazazel attempted pushed his back against the tree, as if he was trying to become the tree itself.

Of course I didn't notice that. Currently there was a fire in my eyes that was blocking out everything other than my un-resting urge to kill him.

"Sigh, Gabriel-sama, what did you ever see in this man. I will never understand."

That's the end of this chapter. The next one will be a short chapter, like a New Life from the Light Novel. Anyways, don't worry about the fallen angel girl. I'll explain about her later on, but know she will be important in the future. So, what did you think? I hope you like it and keep reading. Crimson Dragon Emperor
