Chapter 2: Fallen angels.
("Shallot…the descendant of the first Super Saiyan God, awaken child of fate and fulfill your role alongside Giblet")
Restless from the unsettling echoes of his dreams, Shallot's eyes fluttered open to a sight of unexpected opulence. The luxurious room enveloped him, adorned with intricate details that spoke of wealth and grandeur. However, any sense of comfort was swiftly shattered when he attempted to rise from the bed. He realized that the two girls he had fought alongside the previous night were lying on either side of him, completely unclothed. Shock and bewilderment coursed through him, leaving his mind in disarray as intrusive thoughts and nerves flooded his senses.
In a surge of adrenaline, Shallot impulsively leaped out of bed, his heart pounding in his chest. The sudden movement jolted the two girls awake, and awkward tension filled the air as they grappled with the bewildering situation before them. Questions swirled in Shallot's mind, desperately seeking answers to unravel the enigma that had brought them all together in this perplexing circumstance.
"What is happening here, who are you? What do you want?" Shallot's voice trembled with nervousness as he directed his questions to both girls, hoping for some answers to the baffling situation they found themselves in.
"My... my, I think we overdid it with the healing, Rias. Looks like our Youkai is full of energy now," Akeno said, her tone of amusement and relief.
"At least now he would answer our interrogation. Give him his clothes and see if you can gather some extra information. I'm going to take a shower," Rias replied, gracefully getting up from the bed and making her way to the bathroom.
Feeling a rush of modesty and vulnerability, Shallot blushed intensely when he realized he was also naked. Hastily, he donned his clothes, thankful for the return of his modesty, albeit still flustered. Akeno, with her student attire back on, summoned Shallot's clothes with a flick of her wrist.
"Please, Shallot-sir, dress up. I'll be waiting for you in the living room," she said with a warm smile.
With an awkward nod, Shallot complied, slipping into his clothes as quickly as he could. Once dressed, he followed Akeno to the main area of the room, his mind still swirling with questions and confusion.
As they reached the living room, Shallot found himself surrounded by an atmosphere of opulence and comfort. The room boasted a lavish interior, adorned with elegant furnishings and enchanting decorations. Akeno gestured for him to take a seat on a plush couch, which he did with a mix of apprehension and curiosity.
Sitting across from him, Akeno wore an expression of gentle concern. "I apologize for the strange circumstances, Shallot-sir," she began. "Your body was badly damaged from our fight yesterday, the president and I simply used demon magic to heal your wounds completely and we need to remove our clothes in order for the magic to flow more effectively towards your body" Akeno finished.
"That explains why I feel stronger than yesterday I received a zenkai from your healing" He replied.
"Zenkai? would you care to explain what is that?" Akeno asked politely but she quickly changed the question to another more useful for the clan.
"Actually I want to know your relationship with Azazel, how do you know him?" Akeno asked.
Shallot stayed quiet for a second but seeing no other option he decided to play along and answer the question with honesty. "Well, I can't say that I know him entirely, we just crossed our paths, I fought with one of his friends and I gotta say, he completely wiped the floor with me" he started "But I do know he saved me for a reason, he even left me a note saying that I should find Rias Gremory, so here I am"
Akeno looked at him, she knew he was telling the truth. "Very well then, let's wait for Rias, I´m pretty sure she wants to hear the whole story."
Minutes later.
Rias emerged from the bathroom; her crimson hair still slightly damp from the shower. She swiftly changed into her student attire, radiating an aura of authority as she rejoined Akeno and Shallot in the living room. The air in the room seemed to shift, charged with a sense of seriousness as she took charge of the situation.
"Alright. Now that we're all here, you have our full attention," Rias said firmly, her voice carrying a commanding tone. "Please respond to all of our questions about you."
"What are you? A demon like us? A fallen angel? A Monkey youkai?" Rias inquired, her curiosity piqued by Shallot's enigmatic response.
"I'm a Saiyan," Shallot replied confidently, a sense of pride evident in his voice. "A warrior race from the planet Sadala." Both girls exchanged puzzled glances, clearly unfamiliar with the concept of Saiyans.
"You are an Alien? But I don't remember seeing that planet in any of our astrology books," Rias responded, trying to make sense of the revelation.
"Saiyans are a proud and powerful race, known for their combat prowess and indomitable spirit. We are a race of warriors, but now I'm here on a quest."
"What quest?" Akeno inquired, her curiosity now fully ignited.
"I'm currently searching for my brother," Shallot revealed. "I suspect he is here in this world, and I must find him."
"We were separated, and I've been searching for him ever since."
The girls listened intently as Shallot shared more about the Saiyan race and their customs. His tales of intergalactic travels, fierce battles, and the strong bond among Saiyan warriors painted a vivid picture of his origins. They were fascinated by this alien warrior who had suddenly appeared in their world.
"Wait... this world? How did you even arrive here in the first place?" Rias asked, her curiosity turning to the circumstances that brought Shallot to their realm.
"A man... he used a technique to create a portal," Shallot explained. "The last thing I knew is that I woke up here, in your world."
The answers only deepened the mystery, and Rias and Akeno found themselves captivated by Shallot's tale. They bombarded him with questions about Saiyans, their abilities. Shallot eagerly accept to answer her questions
"Earlier you say something about Zenkai what is that?" Akeno asked.
"Zenkai is a genetic trait that allows a Saiyan's power to increase substantially after recovering from near fatal injuries. That's why I said that I felt stronger than yesterday It seems that your demon magic is compatible with the Zenkai ability" Shallot explained.
Rias, intrigued by this new information, couldn't resist asking another question. "What about your tail?" she asked, her gaze curious.
"Our tails are a catalyst," Shallot clarified. "Under certain conditions in the environment, we can transform ourselves into what we know as Great Ape. In this form, a Saiyan's power increases tenfold, but we lose our ability to think, essentially becoming mindless beasts of destruction."
Rias's interest was piqued. "And what are those conditions?" she asked, eager to learn more.
"To trigger the transformation, a Saiyan must have a tail and look directly into a full moon," Shallot replied. "The moon's energy interacts with our tails, causing the transformation. It's like a werewolf from the fairy tales, except it's real for us Saiyans."
Akeno nodded, understanding the concept. "So, it's a unique ability that adds to the formidable power of Saiyans," she commented.
"Yes," Shallot affirmed. "But it's a double-edged sword. While the Great Ape form grants immense strength, it also removes our rationality, making us uncontrollable and dangerous.
"That can't be good," Akeno replied, expressing her concern over the potential dangers of the Great Ape transformation.
But Rias's thoughts were occupied by something else entirely. She found Shallot's unique nature intriguing and couldn't help but be curious. "You are a very interesting creature, Shallot. May I ask you a question?" Rias inquired with a glint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Of course," Shallot replied, willing to entertain her question.
"Akeno told me that you had an encounter with Azazel and one of his colleagues," Rias began, her curiosity growing.
Shallot nodded. "That's right. I had a battle with one of them."
"Do you remember how he or she looked like?" Rias inquired further.
Shallot closed his eyes, focusing on recalling the appearance of his adversary during the intense battle. As the memory came back to him, he described the person he fought with in vivid detail to Rias.
"He was a demon like both of you, that's for sure. He had silver hair, and what troubled me the most was that he had some kind of white dragon armor... I don't know, but what I do know is that he was really strong thanks to it," Shallot replied.
Rias and Akeno were left in shock. "YOU FOUGHT WITH THE WHITE DRAGON?!" they both exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well, he beat me easily, but I'm not planning to give up now. I need to become stronger if I want to face him again," Shallot said resolutely.
Akeno couldn't help but feel a little intrigued by Shallot's determination. "Hehehe, this guy is pretty interesting. I wonder if he'll keep his word and become stronger," she thought, her mischievous side showing.
Rias, on the other hand, saw a unique opportunity in Shallot's strength and potential. "If he survived an encounter with the white dragon, maybe I can convince him to join my club as a demon. I wonder how strong a Saiyan-demon hybrid would be," she thought, contemplating the possibilities.
"Shallot, I have a request for you," Rias said, her expression serious.
"And that is...?" Shallot inquired.
"Would you become a demon?" Rias asked, explaining further, "You will receive a lot of power and you will be part of our family."
At first, Shallot's response was a hearty laugh. "Hehehe HAHAHAHA," he chuckled.
Perplexed, Rias asked, "What is so funny?"
"Sorry, Rias, but I don't want any cheats or shortcuts to gain more power," Shallot firmly expressed his decision. "I want to grow as a Saiyan on my own terms, but... that doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?"
Rias and Akeno both smiled warmly at Shallot's sincerity, understanding, and respecting his resolve. "Of course, Shallot. We value your honesty and your determination," Rias replied. "We're happy to be your allies and friends," Akeno added, her cheerful demeanor reflecting their newfound camaraderie.
Shallot's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Hehe, that's what I'm talking about! I'll gladly lend you my strength if any problem arises. It's an opportunity to face stronger opponents, and I can't wait to battle them!"
Rias couldn't help but find similarities between Shallot and her cousin, Saiaraorg, who shared the same passion for seeking challenges and growing stronger. "We'll help you find your brother too, don't worry," she assured him.
Shallot's eyes softened with gratitude. "Thanks, that means a lot, Rias. With your help, maybe me and my brother will be reunited at last," he said, a glimmer of hope in his voice.
Minutes later, the rest of the occult club members arrived at the group room, where they found Shallot looking as healthy as ever. Kiba and Koneko approached him, curious about the Saiyan's origins.
"Looks like our guest is good as new," Kiba commented as he entered the room.
Koneko, though quiet, couldn't hide her interest in Shallot's unique abilities. Rias and Akeno proceeded to explain the details of their encounter with Shallot and his extraordinary story.
"What an interesting story. Your style of fighting is something I have never experienced before," Kiba remarked, clearly intrigued.
"I'm more interested in your touki techniques," Koneko added, her curiosity evident.
"Oh! That's right, we forgot to ask you about that. Does that mean you also have Ki in your universe?" Akeno inquired.
"Well, the Saiyans are very familiar with Ki," Shallot explained. "We can use it to strengthen our bodies, manifest blast orbs, or sense the energy of others."
"Like Senjutsu and Touki," Koneko chimed in, drawing a parallel between Shallot's Ki and the demonic powers they wielded.
"Exactly, but his energy is denser, and he can control it better. He can even fly with it," Kiba pointed out, impressed by Shallot's mastery of his abilities.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Koneko, usually reserved, spoke up boldly. "Could you teach me how to fight like you?" she asked, leaving everyone in the room momentarily speechless.
"My... my, I didn't expect that coming from you, Koneko," Akeno commented, pleasantly surprised by her friend's sudden eagerness. "I guess she finally found someone who also uses touki," Kiba added, nodding in agreement.
Koneko blushed slightly at the attention, but her determination was unwavering. "I've always been interested in enhancing my abilities, and learning from Shallot seems like a great opportunity," she said softly, her eyes filled with resolve.
"Well, I don't have any problem with it," Shallot replied with a grin. "I like to have a partner in my training, and even better when my partner is stronger than me. Together, we can push each other to new heights."
The enthusiasm in Shallot's response made Koneko's blush deepen, but she felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of training alongside the powerful Saiyan.
But the happy moments were abruptly interrupted by the arrival of the last member, Issei.
"Buchou! Buchou!" Issei called out, referring to Rias. "What is it, Issei? What's wrong?" Rias responded, concerned by his urgent tone.
As Issei approached Rias, Shallot sensed a familiar energy emanating from him. "So, this is the guy with an energy similar to Vali," Shallot thought to himself.
"Buchou, I'm going to save my friend," Issei declared with determination, but before he could continue, Rias slapped him on the face. The action left Shallot surprised, not by its force, but by the emotional impact it had on Issei.
"How many times do I have to repeat myself? No means no. I can't allow you to save that Sister," Rias stated firmly, her expression serious.
"But she was taken to the church by Raynare, and even though she is a nun, I can't stand here doing nothing," Issei pleaded, hurt by the rejection he received.
Rias remained steadfast in her decision. "No is no. We are not going to the church," she reiterated.
Puzzled by the situation, Shallot couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you go to that place?"
Kiba stepped in to provide an explanation. "For us demons, the church is considered enemy territory. If we go there, it's basically suicide," he clarified.
Seeing no help from nobody Issei angrily exclaimed.
"Then I will go by myself. I'm worried about the ritual thing. The Fallen Angels are doing something from behind the scenes. There's no guarantee of Asia's safety."
"Are you really that stupid? You will definitely be killed if you go. You won't be able to come back to life anymore. Do you understand?" Rias replied.
Rias tried to talk calmly, but she wanted to warn and protect Issei in a way. "Your actions will affect not only me but also the other members! You are a Devil of the Gremory group! You need to be aware of that!"
"Then let me out of this group. I'll go there as an individual." He replied.
"I can't do that why don't you understand?" Rias replied angrily.
Seeing all this tension between the group made Shallot a little uncomfortable but in a way he understand Issei´s motives so he decide to step up in the conversation.
"If you guys are saying that it's a suicide for you then I will go with him" Shallot said.
Seeing no help from anybody, Issei angrily exclaimed, "Then I will go by myself. I'm worried about the ritual thing. The Fallen Angels are doing something from behind the scenes. There's no guarantee of Asia's safety."
Rias, concerned for Issei's well-being, tried to talk calmly but firmly warned him, "Are you really that stupid? You will definitely be killed if you go. You won't be able to come back to life anymore. Do you understand?"
Rias wanted to protect Issei and the other members, and she reminded him of his responsibility as a Devil of the Gremory group. "Your actions will affect not only me but also the other members! You need to be aware of that!" she said, her emotions mixing with her concern.
Issei's frustration grew, and he responded, "Then let me out of this group. I'll go there as an individual."
"I can't do that. Why don't you understand?" Rias replied, her anger rising in response to the tense situation.
Amidst the growing tension between the group, Shallot felt a sense of discomfort, but he understood Issei's motives and the gravity of the situation. Deciding to step up and offer his support, he said, "If you guys are saying that it's suicide for you, then I will go with him."
"Since when is this guy with us?" Issei asked, slightly taken aback by Shallot's sudden involvement.
Shallot grinned, not bothered by Issei's skepticism. "C'mon, I'm just trying to help you, man," he replied, displaying his eagerness to support his new friends.
Seeing no other viable option, Issei reluctantly accepted Shallot's offer, though still uncomfortable with the idea. "Fine, but I hope you're not doing this to impress Akeno and Rias, Spiky head," he teased Shallot playfully.
The group considered Akeno's suggestion, realizing that Shallot's status as a non-demon could offer an advantage. "This could work. Since Shallot is not a demon, he would pass without alerting the Fallen Angels," Akeno proposed, finding a silver lining in the situation.
"Fine, I hope your rescue mission goes well now. I have a very important thing to do. Akeno and I will go out for a bit," Rias said, heading towards the door and hugging Issei.
"Before I go, Ise, there are a couple of things I need to tell you. First one. You think that a [Pawn] is a weak piece, right? Am I right?" Rias said seductively, capturing Issei's attention.
Issei nodded quietly in response to her question, curious about what she was about to reveal.
"That's a big misunderstanding. [Pawn] has a special ability that no other pieces have. That ability is the [Promotion],"Rias continued, explaining the unique trait of the [Pawn] piece.
"Promotion? What is that?" Issei asked, genuinely intrigued, and Shallot was also interested in the subject.
"Just like the actual chess game, [Pawn] can change into other classes if they reach the opponent's base. They are able topromote to any other piece besides the [King] piece. Ise, when you step foot in the location I acknowledge as the 'Enemy's base,' you are able to change into any piece besides the [King]," Rias explained, shedding light on the [Promotion] ability.
Issei's eyes widened with excitement at the possibilities. "Oh man! So, I can promote to Kiba's [Knight] class, Koneko-chan's [Rook] class, and even Akeno-san's [Queen] class!?" he asked, thrilled by the idea of accessing new powers.
"Since it hasn't been that long since you became a Devil, there are restrictions, so it's probably still impossible for you to be promoted to the ultimate piece, a [Queen]. But you could change to other classes. If you wish strongly for [Promotion] within your heart, then there will be a change in your ability," Rias clarified, emphasizing the potential for growth.
While Issei expressed his excitement about the newfound information, Shallot remained puzzled by the concept of chessand its pieces. He asked, "I still don't understand all this stuff about 'chess pieces.' What is chess to begin with?" but Rias kept going with her explanation.
"And about the Sacred Gear. When you use your Sacred Gear, just remember this," Rias said, her hand gently stroking Issei's cheek.
"Desire. Sacred Gear is driven with the power of desire. And it also determines the power for it as well. Even though you are a Devil, your will to desire hasn't been lost. The stronger you desire, the stronger your Sacred Gear will respond to you," she explained, emphasizing the significance of desire in wielding the Sacred Gear.
"Desire," Issei repeated, internalizing the message.
"The power of desire will activate the Sacred Gear," Rias continued, encouraging Issei to understand the connection.
"So, if I strongly wish for it, this will activate," Issei replied, feeling a newfound sense of determination.
"There's one last thing you should never forget, Ise. Even a [Pawn] can take down the [King]. This is basic in chess. This truth also applies to the Devils' chess pieces. You can become stronger," Rias said, instilling confidence in Issei's potential.
"Before I go, can I speak with you about Shallot?" Rias asked
"Sure" he replied
Rias took Shallot back to the bedroom.
"What is it Rias"
"Since you are now joining Issei in his quest there's something I need to tell you beforehand" Rias commented. "We want to keep this a secret for Issei, but we all know how he wants to save that Sister"
"For what I saw, yeah, his willing to sacrifice his life for her, that's honorable" he replied.
"But I don't want him to die, so, I did a little research about these fallen angels and discover they are going to protect the church at all cost, that's why I'm taking Akeno with me, we are going to do a pincer attack" Rias explained.
"But why are you not telling this to Issei?" Shallot asked confusedly "Is he not part of your team?"
"Because it's a test, I want to see how he evolves by himself" Rias commented "I can tell that you are way stronger than a fallen angel now but if you can, let Issei deal the final blow to that girl"
"Fine, I don't have a problem with that" Shallot replied "And I guess this is his fight so I'm going to let him do the finishing blow"
"Thank you, Shallot," Rias replied and they both went back to the Livingroom.
As the magic circle beneath Rias and Akeno activated, Shallot felt a sudden rush of energy enveloping the room. Before they teleported away, Rias leaned close to Shallot and whispered in a seductive tone, "The offer is still open, Saiyan. Just tell me if you want to accept it." However, Shallot was too preoccupied with the concepts of Sacred Gear and factions to fully comprehend her proposition.
"Sacred gear? This is… I'm still confused" Shallot said with smoke coming from his ears.
"Don't worry, Shallot. I'll explain everything to you on the way," Kiba reassured, sheathing his sword.
Shallot looked at Kiba with gratitude, thankful for his willingness to guide him through this unfamiliar world. Meanwhile, Issei and Kiba engaged in a conversation about the dangers they were about to face. Issei was resolute in his decision to rescue Asia, even if it meant risking his life. Shallot admired Issei's determination and couldn't help but voice his support.
"You have my trust already. I don't know who these exorcists or fallen angels are, but if you're willing to sacrifice yourself for a comrade, that speaks a lot to me," Shallot said, expressing his pride in Issei's selflessness.
Kiba, though understanding of Issei's motives, still couldn't help but feel concerned about his recklessness. "Good determination, that's what I would like to say, but it's still reckless," Kiba commented. "I don't know much about Asia-san, but you are my comrade. Even though Buchou said that, there's a part of me that respects your decision. Also, I personally don't like Fallen Angels and priests. I detest them."
Shallot noticed a subtle change in Kiba's expression when he mentioned fallen angels and priests, suggesting that there might be more to his feelings on the matter.
As the conversation continued, Koneko surprised everyone by stepping forward and expressing her decision to join the rescue mission. Issei was taken aback by her sudden declaration.
"Wha-, Koneko-chan? Really?" Issei asked in astonishment.
Koneko nodded quietly and spoke with determination, "I feel uneasy for only having you three go. I also want to see Shallot's touki in action."
"Really? You express yourself more with Spiky and Kiba than with me?" Issei teased.
"They are not perverts like you," Koneko replied bluntly.
Issei, undeterred by her response, responded with enthusiasm, "I'm touched! Right now, I'm so deeply touched, Koneko-chan!"
Kiba couldn't help but smile sadly at the exchange. "H-Huh? But I'm going as well...?" he added, feeling left out.
"I know, Kiba. I know, and thank you," Issei replied gratefully, acknowledging Kiba's presence and contribution.
"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Shallot asked the group to motivate them.
"Then let's go for a rescue mission with the four of us! Wait for us, Asia!" Issei shouted.
And then the group headed towards the church. Leaded by Issei.
During the trip Kiba explained everything to Shallot, the evil pieces, sacred gears, and the three factions in war.
"Alright, Shallot, let me explain some crucial aspects of the world we're in. First, let's talk about the Evil Pieces. As Devils, we use the Evil Pieces to form our peerage, which consists of loyal servants like me. The pieces are like chess pieces: [Pawn] who are just like regular soldiers but with the ability to promote, [Knight] who are demons that specializes on quick attacks, [Bishop] demons who specializes on magic, [Rook] are with strength, [Queen] are the combination of the past ones, and [King] commands all the pieces." Kiba explained.
"Alright I think I understand" Shallot replied
"Each piece represents a different rank and power level. Devils can reincarnate deceased individuals into these pieces, creating a strong team to support them."
Kiba continued.
"Now, moving on to Sacred Gears. They're mysterious and powerful artifacts found in our world. Sacred Gears grant their wielders incredible abilities. Issei's Boosted Gear, for example, allows him to increase his power exponentially for a short time. Each Sacred Gear has its own abilities and purposes, and they can be quite sought after by different factions for their potential."
"Hmm that's useful, Issei can become really strong if he wants" Shallot commented. "Now that I think about it, Vali had the opposite ability, he decreased my power by half"
But Shallot´s thoughts were interrupted by Kiba explanation again.
"Speaking of factions, let's discuss the Three Factions in War. In our world, there are three major groups: Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels. Devils, like us, follow the rules set by the Maou (Devil King) and focus on accumulating power and territory. Angels are divine beings who seek to protect humanity and maintain order. Fallen Angels are former Angels who were cast out and now have their own agendas. We often find ourselves in conflicts with the other factions, which leads to intense battles and strategic maneuvering."
" And now we are fighting Fallen Angels" Shallot said
Shallot listened intently as Kiba and Koneko continued to explain the complexities of their world. They delved into the existence of other races like nekomatas, youkais, and monsters, each with their own unique abilities and traits. It seemed like a whole new realm of possibilities had opened up before Shallot's eyes.
"Wow, it's incredible how diverse this world is," Shallot remarked, his curiosity piqued. "So, these factions can actually recruit and enlist the help of these other races to aid them in their goals?"
Kiba nodded. "Exactly. Each faction has its own methods of persuasion, alliances, and recruitment strategies. The balance of power is constantly shifting as they vie for control and influence."
Koneko chimed in, "And that's why it's essential for us to have strong allies and a reliable team."
Shallot pondered for a moment. "I wonder if my brother got involved with one of these factions... He must have had his reasons, just like I do. I'll have to find out more about this world and the factions to understand his choices."
After a couple of minutes, the group finally arrived at the eerie church. The ominous atmosphere surrounding the building sent shivers down their spines.
"So this is the place," Shallot commented, eyeing the church warily.
"Yeah, I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this. What do you see, Kiba?" Issei asked nervously, glancing around.
"I can't see a safe escape route from here, but I can easily tell that there are Fallen Angels inside the building," Kiba replied, his expression serious.
Curious, Shallot inquired, "Where did you get this map?"
"Well, it's basic when you're about to enter enemy territory," Kiba explained matter-of-factly.
Nodding in agreement, Shallot understood the importance of having a map in such a situation. Kiba then proceeded to share the intricate details of the map, suggesting they attack the inner sanctuary while not worrying about the dormitory.
"Most 'Stray Exorcists' like to perform rituals in the sanctuary, as it's their way of insulting the God who betrayed them. And it's located right behind the entrance," Kiba revealed.
"Right, we're all set. Let's go," Issei said with determination, and the rest of the group nodded in agreement. They passed through the entrance and headed straight for the sanctuary. As the massive doors swung open, revealing the interior, they were met with the sight of an altar adorned with lamps and candles.
Shallot narrowed his eyes, feeling an unsettling energy emanating from behind the central cross. He alerted the group, "Guys, be careful. There's someone behind that large cross."
The tension in the air grew, and the group cautiously approached the cross, ready to face whatever awaited them. Then a clap echoes through the sanctuary. Someone who looks like a priest shows up from behind the pillar.
"So, you got yourselves a monkey youkai with a weird fashion sense, what a touching reunion, demons," he spoke with a wicked grin on his face, referring to Shallot.
"It's you again, Freed, was it?" Issei said, recognizing the white-haired priest.
"Well, I never met the same Devil twice before! You know, since I'm super strong, I cut Devils into pieces when I first meet them! Once I see them, I cut them up on the spot! I then kiss the corpse and say goodbye! That's how I used to live! But since you guys ruined my style, I'm so lost! That's no good~. It's not good to interfere with my lifestyle~! That's why~! You guys piss me off! I hope you guys will die! Actually die! You trashy Deeeeeeeeeeeevils!"
Confused by the situation, Shallot asked, "Who the hell is this guy?" But before he could get an answer, a gunshot was fired at him.
"I have never killed a demon youkai before, this will be a satisfying first time," Freed declared as he rushed towards Shallot with a blade of light he summoned.
"A blade of light energy," Shallot thought, imbuing his fingers with Ki. He swiftly dodged Freed's attacks, analyzing his opponent's movements.
"COME ON, STOP DODGING MY BLADE YOU STUPID FREAKING DEMON!" Freed shouted in frustration.
"This guy is slightly slower than Kiba, I think he can beat him easily," Shallot assessed the situation.
"Fine, have it your way," Shallot said, deciding to engage. With a confident move, he caught Freed's light blade with two fingers.
"WHAAAAT?! YOU SHOULD BE BURNING RIGHT NOW, DEMON! IT'S A BLADE OF LIGHT!" Freed shouted in disbelief.
"The problem is... I'm not a demon," Shallot said calmly, before delivering a powerful kick that sent Freed flying towards the altar.
"It's 4 against one, you know you can't win this" Kiba said mocking the priest.
"You guys came to rescue Asia-tan, right? Hahaha! Devil-samas are big hearted for coming to rescue a bitch like that who would even heal Devils! Well, just being entranced to a Devil should make that Sister die!" Freed said.
"Where is Asia!?" Issei asked.
"Well, there is a hidden stairs under that altar. From there you can go to the place where they are doing the ritual."
Freed exposed the location of the hidden altar like it was nothing, he was to confident believing that he could kill all of the group even though Shallot just knock him with a kick.
"Sacred Gear!" Issei shouted, summoning a red gauntlet on his left arm.
"LET'S SEE HOW THIS GOES," Freed replied, disappearing and reappearing behind Issei at incredible speed.
"ISSEI! DUCK!" Kiba shouted. Drawing his sword from its sheath, Kiba and Koneko positioned themselves to face Freed.
"Go..." Koneko ordered Issei, pointing towards the stairs leading to the underground sanctuary.
"Shallot, we will take care of this guy. Go with Issei to the underground sanctuary," Kiba said, his voice filled with determination.
"You got it, let's go Issei," Shallot agreed, as they both hurried towards the stairs. However, Freed wasn't going to let them escape so easily.
"OH NO NO NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Freed yelled, attempting to stop them.
But Koneko, utilizing her incredible strength, lifted up the pews and hurled them at Freed, trying to create a diversion.
"Get smashed," she declared, giving Shallot and Issei the opportunity they needed to escape.
"Alright, I feel the energy of two girls inside but also a lot of priests. Are you ready, Issei?" Shallot said.
"One of them is from Asia, the other must be Raynare. Of course, I'm ready," Issei replied confidently.
"Look, I don't know if this 'Raynare' is strong enough, but I'm going to buy you some time. You go there and rescue your friend," Shallot said, determined to help Issei.
"Sounds like a plan, thank you, Spike hair," Issei said, acknowledging Shallot's assistance.
"It's Shallot," he corrected, but there was no time to dwell on names.
Issei opened the door and both of them stepped inside the room, facing the Fallen Angel, Raynare, at the end.
"Welcome, Devils," Raynare spoke with a hint of malice in her voice. The room was filled with priests, each holding a sword handle that emitted a blade of light.
"Asiaaa!" Issei shouted as he saw the girl he came to rescue. "...Ise-san?"
"Yeah! I've come to save you!" Issei declared, tears of relief welling up in his eyes.
"It's a touching reunion, but it's too late. The ritual is about to finish now," Raynare sneered, feeling confident in her impending victory.
"What do you mean the ritual is finished?" Shallot asked, his concern evident in his voice.
Suddenly, Asia's body started to glow, and she let out a piercing scream. "...Aaah, iyaaaaaaaaaaaa!" she cried in pain.
"Asia!" Issei shouted, desperately trying to reach her. But the priests surrounded both him and Shallot, preventing them from getting closer.
"Don't worry, I got this," Shallot reassured Issei. He swiftly crossed his arms and with a quick movement, extended them, releasing an explosive wave of Ki that sent the priests flying, creating a path for Issei to reach Asia.
With the priests temporarily incapacitated, Issei rushed towards Asia.
"I won't let you interfere! Damn Devils! I will destroy you!" Raynare shouted, attempting to attack Issei, but Shallot stepped in to block her.
However, it was too late. A powerful light emanated from Asia's body, and Raynare greedily took hold of it with her hand.
"This is it! This is the power that I've craved for a long time! Sacred Gear! With this, I will be loved!" Raynare exclaimed with ecstasy as she embraced the light.
The room was filled with a blinding green light, causing everyone to shield their eyes for a moment. When the light subsided, Raynare was now emitting a green aura from her body.
"Ufufu. Ahahahahahaha! I finally have it! The supreme power! With this, I can become a supreme Fallen Angel! With this, I can pay back all those who were looking down on me!" she boasted, reveling in her newfound strength.
Issei hurried to Asia's side, untying her from the cross and holding her in his arms.
"...I-Ise-san..." she weakly uttered, passing out from exhaustion.
"Asia, I came to take you back," Issei said with determination.
"It's futile," Raynare retorted coldly. "Possessors whose Sacred Gear is taken away from their body will die. That girl is going to die."
"—! Then give the Sacred Gear back!" Issei demanded, his anger rising.
"There's no way that I will give it back. You know I even deceived my superiors to get my hands on this? I will kill all of you and erase all evidence," Raynare declared with sinister intent.
"...Shit. You are nowhere close to the Yuuma-chan that I remember," Issei said, feeling betrayed.
"Fufufu, it was pretty fun. The time I dated you," Raynare taunted, relishing the pain she was causing.
"...You were my first girlfriend." He replied.
"Yes, watching it was very cute. It's fun to play around with guys who have no experience with a woman." Raynare kept opening the wound
"...I was serious about taking care of you." Issei said.
"Ufufu, yes, you did take care of me. When I was in trouble you managed to take care of it right away and made sure I didn't get hurt. But did you know that I did all of that on purpose? Because it was funny to see your face when you were in panic." Raynare replied.
"Alrigh I got enough of this, you deserve to pay for all of your crimes, Issei, get Asia out of here I'm going to fight this piece of trash" Shallot said
"You stupid monkey! I'm a superior being compared to you! Don't interfere" Raynare shouted coming towards Shallot.
MEANWHILE.
Kiba and Koneko were engaged in a fierce battle against Freed in the upper part of the sanctuary. Koneko hurled pews at him, but he effortlessly performed a graceful dance, slicing the chairs in half with his blade of light.
Meanwhile, Kiba dashed towards Freed, their swords clashing with incredible speed. To the eyes of an ordinary human observer, all they could perceive were blinding sparks created by the clash of their blades.
As Kiba continued to dodge the soundless bullets with his incredible speed, he maintained his relentless assault on Freed.
"Impressive. You are quite strong." Kiba said
"Ahaha! You too! You are a [Knight], huh!? Not even a single blind spot! This is great! Yes yes, this is what I'm talking about. Lately, I haven't had an awesome battle like this!" Freed exclaimed, reveling in the thrill of the fight. "Hmmm! Hmmm! I'm going to kill you!"
Kiba taunted Freed by mentioning Shallot's strength, provoking the priest's anger. But even with all his boasting, Freed couldn't match Kiba's skill and power. The white-haired priest swung his light blade, but to his surprise, Kiba's sword turned black, enveloped in darkness that devoured the light.
"Eat this." Kiba's voice carried an air of confidence as he unleashed his unique technique, [Holy-Eraser], a darkness sword that consumed the light. The priest's light blade was rendered powerless, shattered by Kiba's dark-infused strike.
"What the hell is this!? A sacred gear?" The priest was bewildered by the unexpected turn of events.
"[Holy-Eraser], a sword of darkness that devours light," Kiba calmly explained, showcasing the power of his Sacred Gear.
Seizing the opportunity, Koneko launched her attack while the priest was defenseless, delivering a powerful punch to his stomach that left him coughing up blood.
The priest, though beaten and wounded, still managed to mock Koneko and Kiba, refusing to face defeat gracefully. "Hmm... Oh man, not only I got punched by a trashy Devil, but she's just a little girl - Don't fuck with me," he taunted, clearly trying to provoke them further.
Koneko's anger flared up at his disrespectful remark, but Kiba held her back, not wanting to let the priest's words get to them. They both approached the wounded priest, determined to finish the battle. However, the priest seemed to have other plans as he started to retreat.
"Wow, wow. Is this what you call a crisis?" he sneered. "For me, getting killed by a Devil is a no-no, so I feel like retreating. It's a shame that I can't exorcise you guys, but I also don't want to die!" Freed replied throwing a smoke bomb to the ground.
"…Coward" Koneko replied.
"It seems he's decided to live to fight another day," Kiba said, not bothered by the priest's cowardice. "Let's not waste our time on him. We have to join Shallot and Issei."
Koneko nodded and headed towards the stairs. But they were received by a light spear summoned by Raynare breaking the floor, followed by Shallot dodging some attacks.
"Shallot…" Koneko said watching the Saiyan flight.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN THIS FIGHT MONKEY?!" Raynare commented. "Look, this cut you made with your Touki" Raynare then place her hand on the wound, a green light appeared in her finger healing the cut instantly.
"You can heal your wounds yeah, but there's always a limit" Shallot replied attacking Raynare with a barrage of punches.
Raynare blocked Shallot's barrage of punches with her light spear, skillfully deflecting each strike. "You're persistent, I'll give you that," she taunted, her wings fluttering gracefully as she dodged Shallot's counterattacks. "But you can't defeat me. I have the power of Twilight healing now, and it makes me invincible!"
Shallot's eyes narrowed, and he focused his energy. He sensed the flow of her power and spotted a slight opening in her defense. With lightning speed, he closed the distance and delivered a powerful kick to her side, sending her crashing into a nearby pillar.
"You talk too much," Shallot replied.
Raynare groaned as she picked herself up from the debris, clutching her side where Shallot's kick had struck. Despite her claims of invincibility, she realized she had underestimated the Saiyan's strength and determination.
"Damn you! Youkai" she hissed, her eyes burning with anger. "I won't let you get in the way of my plans!"
"I'm not a Youkai, I'm a Saiyan" he said charging key and rushing towards the fallen angel.
At the same time, Issei lay down Asia on one of the pews. "Just wait a bit! You will be free soon, Asia! You will be able to play with me from now on!" Issei said just as Asia woke up. She then took his hand.
"...I was happy that...I had a friend...even for a short while..." Asia said smiling even though she was in pain. "...If I were to be born again, will you become my friend once more...?"
"W-What are you saying!? Don't say that! Let's go somewhere to have fun! I will drag you even though you don't want to! We will go to karaoke! Game centre! Let's also go bowling! Also other places! Also to that place! And there!" Issei said crying knowing that her friend was speaking her last words.
"We are friends! Always! Yeah, that's right! I will introduce you to Motohama and Matsuda! They are a bit perverted, but both of them are good guys! They will definitely become your friends! Definitely! We will have fun together! We'll have fun until we can!" Issei said just as Kiba and Koneko arrived with him.
"...If I was born in this country...and went to the same school as you..." Asia continued.
"Let's go! Come to our school!" Asia's hand reaches out to touch Issei's face. "...You even cry for someone like me...now I can..."
"...Thank you..." She passed away smiling.
Raynare chuckled, her confidence growing. She launched a barrage of light spears towards Shallot, who skillfully dodged each one with precise movements. However, she wasn't done yet. She summoned a large light blade and swung it towards him, forcing Shallot to jump back to avoid being sliced.
Gathering his energy, Shallot charged towards Raynare once again, this time launching a series of energy blasts. She deflected most of them with her light spear, but one managed to graze her shoulder, eliciting a pained hiss.
"I see, so you are not a demon that light spear should have done you more damage" Raynare replied.
"I told you before, I'm a Saiyan"
"That doesn't matter, you are going to die right now and once I finish with every one of you…" Raynare commented "My status will rise since I will be a Fallen Angel that can heal Fallen Angels. I could be of help to the great Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama! There is nothing more wonderful than this! Aaah, Azazel-sama... My power is all for you..."
"Azazel?" Shallot thought. "That doesn't make sense, if Azazel is a fallen angel, why would he wanted me to meet Rias"
"I don't care, I have seen your technique, you are going down" Shallot replied but was interrupted by Issei.
"Like I care." Issei replied. "Give Asia Baaaack!"
[Dragon booster!] The Sacred Gear on Issei's left arm activates. The jewel in the gauntlet makes a bright shine and then a mysterious mark appears on the gauntlet.
A red aura surrounded Issei's whole body; he felt an overflow of power. Surprising everyone in the room. Then he tried to punch Raynare but she dodges it easily. As if she's dancing.
"WHY?! AM I STILL TO WEAK?" Issei shouted.
"I will explain it so even a dummy like you can understand. It's a simple power difference. I have a power of 1000. You have a power of 1. You can't shorten the gap between us no matter what. Even with the ability of that Sacred Gear, the power doubled is only 2. It's futile! How can you win against me!? Ahahahahahahaha!" Raynare explained.
[Boost!] Another sound from the jewel. The mark on the jewel of the gauntlet changes from [I] to [II].
"Heh! Did your power increase a bit? Still, it's not enough!" She replied. Shallot then punched Raynare out of the sudden.
"DAMN YOU MONKEY" Raynare said trying to punch Shallot but he quickly used his tail to grab her arm, he then hugged Raynare from the back.
"QUICK ISSEI, punch her" Shallot replied.
Issei charged his Sacred gear and punched Raynare on the stomach, but she didn't feel any harm she just laughs.
"HAHAHAHA; That's all? What a piece of crap you are" Raynare said summoning a light spear on top of Shallot, forcing him to let her go, she then pushed Issei towards a few pew debris.
Issei was so angry for being a useless piece on the group, he remembered what role the others played, how Kiba and Koneko fought against the priest how Shallot was fighting against Reynare and how he couldn't save Asia.
"I'm tired of being this useless, I won't stand for this, please, please, please!" He started punching the ground.
[Explosion!] The jewel made a sound stronger than before and his gauntlet started to evolve. Raynare noticed this.
"...Impossible. What is this? Why is something like this happening...? Isn't that Sacred Gear supposed to be the [Twice Critical] which doubles the power of the possessor? ...It can't be. It's not possible. Why has your power surpassed mine...? This wave of demonic-power I'm feeling... is that of a Middle-class...no, that of a High-class Devil..."
"You should pay attention to your opponent" Shallot said preparing a Ki attacked.
"[Burning Attack] " He shouted lunching a burning Ki sphere directly to Raynare´s wings making her unable to fly. Seeing this humiliation and watching a low-class demon get an advance sacred gear Raynare started to lose her mind.
"Lies! This is all lies! I am the Fallen Angel that has attained the ultimate healing power! I turned into a superior being by obtaining this [Twilight Healing]! I received the right to be loved by Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama! I wouldn't lose to some low-life like you!"
"SHUT UP!" Issei charged his power in his sacred gear, and with a promotion he executes the finishing blow in Raynare's face."This is for ASIAA!" he shouted punching Raynare with such speed she was sent flying outside the church.
After that, Issei was barely able to stand up, he used all of his power with that punch.
"Good punch Issei, you sent her flying" Shallot said. "Everybody okay?"
"Yes" Koneko replied.
"Sure, we are, that priest didn't stood a chance" Kiba said.
The group cherish the victory they got against the fallen angels and priest but still, Issei was sad for his loss. But there was no time to mourn the girl because Rias and Akeno arrived at the scene.
"Looks like you both defeated the fallen angel," Rias commented, a hint of admiration in her voice.
"Buchou, what are you doing here?!" Issei asked, surprised to see Rias suddenly appear.
"I said that I needed to attend some business," Rias replied calmly. "We suspected that the fallen angels were associates of this... Raynare."
"And we also wanted to see how you acted on your own," Rias added with a playful smile.
"Oh really? I did it poorly. Shallot, Kiba, and Koneko took care of mostly everything," Issei said, modestly downplaying his role.
"Hey! You put your soul into those two punches, and that's what counts," Kiba chimed in, offering words of encouragement.
"Yeah, don't worry, maybe later you'll get the opportunity to show your value," Shallot reassured him, impressed by Issei's fighting spirit despite his self-doubt.
Issei felt a surge of gratitude towards his new comrades, especially Shallot, whom he had only met a day ago but had already proven to be a great ally.
"Very well then, let's go and have a little chat with that fallen angel," Rias ordered and everybody went to where Raynare was, her tone becoming serious. "Akeno, do the honors."
Akeno-san gracefully lifted her hand, and to Issei's astonishment, water began to form in the air. It was a display of power that left him in awe.
"Is that the power of a Devil?" Issei wondered, fascinated. Raynare woke up from the knockout and started coughing
"How are you doing, Fallen Angel Raynare," Rias spoke calmly, though her voice carried an air of authority.
"The daughter of the Gremory clan..." Raynare muttered, her tone disdainful.
Rias extended a hand in a diplomatic gesture, introducing herself, "Hello, my name is Rias Gremory. I'm the next heir of the House of Gremory. It will be for a short while, but nice to have your acquaintance."
Raynare's face contorted with a sneer, refusing to accept the gesture. Her eyes locked onto Rias, radiating hostility. The fallen angel's resentment was palpable.
"House?" Shallot asked.
"Our President Rias is part of one of the most important devil clans on the hell, she is called the Crimson-haired Ruin princess" Akeno explained.
"R-Ruin Princess... What a scary nickname..." Issei thought.
"...You think you've got me, but too bad. This plan was kept secret from the higher-ups, but there are other Fallen Angels with me. If I get in danger, they will—" Raynare shouted desperately but she was interrupted.
"They won't come to help." Rias said with a cold tone "That's because I already eliminated all three of the Fallen Angel Kalawana, Fallen Angel Donaseek, and Fallen Angel Mitelt." Then she pulled out 3 black feathers.
"These are the feathers of those three. You can tell them apart since you are the same kind as them, right?"
"She and Akeno took 3 fallen angels, that's impressive" Shallot thought.
"How did you do it" Reynare said.
"When I met with the Fallen Angel Donaseek who attacked Ise before, I predicted that there were a few Fallen Angels plotting something in this town. I ignored it because I thought it was a plan that involves the whole Fallen Angel." She explained. "Even I'm not foolish enough to take on all of the Fallen Angels. Then I heard that the Fallen Angels were moving around secretively so I went to talk to them, taking Akeno with me. When I met them in person, they blurted that it was their own plan. By helping you, they said, they would get promoted to a higher status. Low life that move around secretively for their purpose usually brag about their plots."
"So that was the 'business' you got to take care off" Issei replied impressed by the power of her president.
Rias the took a closer look to Issei's gauntlet. She was shocked "...Red Dragon. Until recently there wasn't a mark like this... I see, so that's what it is..."
"I found out the main reason why Ise was able to beat a Fallen Angel." Rias quietly said. "Fallen Angel Raynare. This boy, Hyoudou Issei's Sacred Gear isn't a regular Sacred Gear. That's why you lost."
Raynare has a puzzled face after hearing what Rias said
"—[Boosted Gear], a Sacred Gear that is said to be the rarest of the rare. The Red Dragon mark on the gauntlet is the evidence. Even you have heard of that name before, right?"
Raynare was shocked.
"B-Boosted Gear... One of the [Longinus] ... Even though it's for a temporarily time, it's said that it has the power to surpass Maous and God... Are you telling me that hateful power is possessed in a boy like this!?"
"If it's just like the legend is told, then the ability of the [Boosted Gear] can double the power of the possessor every 10 second. Even if his power starts from 1, it doubles his power every 10 seconds, and it can reach the power of the leader-class Fallen Angels and High-class Devils. And by mastering it, he could even kill God." Raynare said
"Are you serious? I could Kill gods with this?" Issei said.
"So it's really the opposite of Vali, entirely, and those Longinus are able to kill a God?"
"Well, no matter how powerful it is, Sacred Gear which needs time has a big risk. There aren't any enemies that would wait for the user to get stronger. Since the opponent was taking it lightly, this was the outcome." Rias explained. "But it's interesting. Just to be expected from my Servant. Just like I thought, Ise is an interesting boy. I'm going to adore you even more."
Rias then proceeded to smile at Issei. He hugged her president and started crying "I'm sorry. When I said I was going to save Asia, I said rude stuff to you because you wouldn't help... But you were helping us behind the scene and..." Issei explained. " I Couldn't protect Asia"
"You don't have to cry. Seeing you right now, there is no one that will blame you." Rias explained "It's okay. You just weren't experienced as a Devil yet. That's all to it. Become strong. I'm going to make you work hard from now on, so be prepared. My Pawn, Ise."
"Yes. I will work hard. I will definitely become stronger. I promise." He said.
"I could help you with that, your boost ability is very useful for training" Shallot said.
"Yeah Shallot, I would like that" Issei relied
"Now then, I'll finish my last work." Rias eyes become sharp and looked ruthless. She got close to Raynare. "I will have you disappear, Fallen Angel and of course, I will retrieve that Sacred Gear back as well."
"Y-You can't be serious!? This healing power is for Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama—"
"Azazel you said?" Immediately Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko looked back at Shallot.
"We would talk about this later" Rias said with an untrust look to Shallot.
"To live your life for love is beautiful. But you are too tainted with dirt. You have no elegance. And I don't allow that." Rias aims her hand towards Raynare.
The scene gets interrupt. A shadow appeared from behind the broken wall. It was the Priest Freed.
"It's that shitty Priest! He came back despite running away once!" Issei shouted.
"Wow! My superior is in serious danger! what's going to happen now!?"
Raynare screamed at the appearance of the Priest: "Save me! If you save me, I will give you a reward or anything you want!"
Freed with a sadistic smile spoke; "Hmm, hmm. I received a wonderful order from an Angel. Eh? So I can have sex with you? To me, having sex with an Angel is like the best honour and it will become a good social status for me."
"Ku... D-Don't fool around and save me!" Raynare shouted in despair.
"Ararararara, you know that I'm actually serious... I mean, something simple like that should be all right, isn't it, Angel? So it's a no? Is that so? Then I will take my leave now. No matter how you look at it, I'm at a disadvantage, so I will just take off." Freed says it in a funny tone while curling his body.
"Y-You are a Priest, aren't you!? You are supposed to save me! I'm an all mighty Fallen Angel! I—" Raynare shouted
"I don't need a superior who loses to trashy Devils. You are pretty, but you lack plans and you are hard headed. The only thing you are useful for is masturbation. So just die away already. Well, a Fallen Angel who is abandoned by God won't go to either Heaven or Hell, but goes back to nothing. Maybe the experience of turning into nothing will be helpful? Ah, that's impossible. Since there will be nothing left. It's impossible. So namusan. Wait, that's Buddhism. Ah, I'm a former Christian! I'm such a naughty boy!" He then moves towards Issei and smiles at him
"Ise-kun, Ise-kun. You have such a wonderful ability. I'm getting more interested in you. You are so worthy to kill! You are definitely in my Top 5 for the "Devils I want to kill", so be prepared, okay? Next time we meet, let's have a romantic fight to the death, okay?"
"Oh man Im feeling chills in my spine" Issei replied
"And you too Monkey boy, I can see you are not a Youkai, but I can't still decipher what are you, but I'm sure that my boss would like to know about your existence" Freed commented, "See ya then! Bye-bye! Remember to brush your teeth!"
Freed disappeared immediately from the scene after waving his hands at the whole group.
"What a scum, he left his comrade to die in order to save his own ass" Shallot commented.
"Now, Fallen Angel Raynare, who was abandoned by her own servant. Miserable." Rias added with no touch of sympathy making Raynare shiver from fear.
As her last resort she decided to transform into a cute-student girl.
"What the hell is this" Shallot asked
"Ise-kun! Please save me!" Raynare speak.
"Issei?" Shallot added.
"She transform into the form she had when were dating, Yuuma"
"This Devil is trying to kill me! I love you! I love you so much! That's why, let's defeat this Devil together!" Yuuma begged for help to Issei while she was crying.
"I'm tired of this…please finish her" Issei said closing his eyes. Hearing that, the Fallen Angel's expression froze.
"With pleasure" Shallot said pointing his hand to her.
"Bad luck" A Ki explosion surged from the palm of his hand disintegrating Raynare.
After the fallen angel demise a green light appeared in the sanctuary.
"Its Asia's Sacred gear" Issei pointed out.
The green light landed on Rias hand. "Now, let's give this back to Asia Argento" Rias said
"But she's alrea—" Issei commented but was stop by his president. "Ise, what do you think this is?" She said taking something from her pocket It was a red colour chess piece.
"That is?" Shallot asked
"This is a [Bishop] chess piece." Rias replied. " I already use one but I still have one left"
Rias walked towards Asia's corpse and put the piece on her chest.
"The [Bishop]'s role is to support the other members of the group. This girl's healing power could be useful as a [Bishop]. It never happened before, but I will reincarnate this girl as a Devil." Rias commented. "I order, in my name Rias Gremory. You, Asia Argento. I, resurrect you back to this soil as my servant, and have you reborn as a Devil. You, my [Bishop], be delighted with your new life!"
Shallot was speechless, Rias said she could bring the sister back to life using his power, something he had never experienced before.
The crimson piece started glowing and went inside Asia's body alongside her Sacred gear. Rias stopped with her ritual and stepped back a little bit.
Issei was shaking nervously, and seconds later he started crying. Shallot got closer to see better and he contemplated that Asia had her eyes open.
"Huh?" She said.
Issei rushed to hug Asia while Rias and the whole group smiled.
"You revive her" Shallot said surprised.
"That's what the evil piece ritual is about" Rias replied "I resurrected her because I wanted her power that can even heal a Devil. Ise, from now on, you'll protect her. Since you will be her senior Devil."
Issei crying in joy lift up Asia and leave the cathedral.
"...Ise-san?" she said.
"Let's go home, Asia." Issei replied.
