WOAH, it's been a long time. The exam stress is nuts man, I've been completely blanking on any story ideas. However, I pulled through and managed to write a chapter :) Tbh, I have much more of a clear picture on how I want this story to progress than on the rewrite on my previous two fics. I think I pretty much covered up whatever I wanted to cover up in this chapter, so I hope you enjoy.
And of course, Suggestions and constructive criticism is always appreciated {pls don't be hesitant in recommending improvements in writing style and/or the plot, but I'll be even more grateful if your comments aren't TOO harsh :)}
{Akeno P.O.V.}
The monsters keep on coming and coming. It's like a factory was mass producing these…things…...It would be a disgrace to monster kind if we call them monsters. These deformed creatures don't even seem to have a head. They are blobs of corrupted matter taking the shape of a humanoid creature.
On top of there being seemingly no end to these creatures, they weren't super easy to defeat. The sheer wall-like defenses these creatures are almost impenetrable by the use of regular magic. A lot of magic reserves need to be spent for these things to finally fall.
"Dang it, we really need some more manpower for these creatures"
I look to my right to see Rossweisse struggling. Rossweisse with her immense knowledge of magic is not able to put an end to these things. She has been doing most of the heavy lifting in this whole extermination squad present at the outskirts of Kuoh, so she's almost out of juice.
"Rossweisse! I'll take it from here" I shouted
Rossweisse turned towards me with a concerned expression.
"Are you sure you'll be able to handle this by yourself?" She asked me. Even in her exhausted state, she has the heart to ask me if I'll be ok by myself. Rossweisse, you are one of a kind.
"You shouldn't be worrying about me in your current state. And besides, I can still pack a good punch even without your help." I gave a thumbs up
Rossweisse sighed and nodded.
"I can't just lay down to rest, not at this time." Rossweisse starts summoning a magic teleportation circle. "Be careful, I'll go help the south wing" She said as she jumped through the magic circle.
I sighed to myself. Honestly, where else can you find a woman like her?
Immediately, I started giving commands to the rest of the group present there. The extermination squad had beings from all kinds of religions. Christian, Roman, Greek, Norse, Hindu, you name it.
I ordered the Angels and Romans to take to the skies for the aerial units attacking from above. The Greek and Norse were on ground duty. The Hindus, Fallen angels and Devils were tasked with the underground units.
I myself was aiding the Angels and Romans. These aerial units were quite a hassle to deal with, if I do say so myself. They just don't seem to stop coming! For every 2 units we defeat, 3 more units take their place.
And, as I said, they weren't easy to defeat either. It takes a lot of power to defeat 1, let alone a whole army.
Thankfully, we've been able to overpower them till now. They also seem to be getting slightly weaker, don't really know why. Well, it's not like I'm complaining. We really could use all the help we need.
"They're receiving backup from the dragons!"
"They're firing at us!"
"Take cover!"
Aaannndd I spoke to soon.
Now Dragons have entered the fight with the aerial soldiers.
"…WOAH"
I barely managed to dodge a giant fireball. Even though it didn't come in contact with me, it still burned a bit of my right sleeve.
Slightly put off, I summon a communication circle to call for backup.
"Uhmm, we got a problem here. The Dragons have come towards north and are aiding the aerial soldiers. A little backup would be nice"
I say as I fight off a large dragon. I have to use my strongest of attacks to actually deal good damage to these dragons.
"So that's where they all went!" I head Xenovia's voice.
"We'll be there in a minute!" Irina replied.
Damn, so these creatures are not completely 'mindless' as I thought they were. They know when to ask for backup.
This makes things much more complicated. These dragons need multiple strong hits to go down, and their attacks are not something to be sneezed at.
"Damnit….their armor is too strong"
I was now face to face with a giant dragon. The dragon has huge fangs which emitted a nasty aura. It's scales looked old and deformed, but at the same time it looked deadly and corrupted. What is this freak of nature!?
The dragon rushed at me with blinding speed with its fangs pointed outwards. I created the strongest jolt of holy-lightning that I could and stunned the dragon.
The dragon roared in pain.
"I have no plans of dying today, creature! I still haven't given my virginity to Issei!" I shouted proudly.
SHING SHING
...!
Suddenly, slicing noises came from behind the giant dragon.
BBBBOOOOOOMMMMMM
In a matter of moments, the dragon exploded into a million pieces.
"You can't just go around announcing that, Akeno!"
"Looks like I'll have some competition really soon"
It was Xenovia and Irina.
"Perfect timing" I gave them a thumbs up.
Xenovia returned a thumbs up while Irina's face was still red.
"You all right?" Xenovia asked me, to which I nodded my head affirmatively.
"I'm fine, but these dragons are quite a hassle." I replied.
"Tell me about it" Irina rolled her eyes. "By the way, what happened to the aerial soldiers? I don't see them anywhere?"
…?
I looked around. Not a single aerial soldier in sight. That's odd, I swear there was a whole horde of them a moment ago…
"…" I could only make a confused expression. There is no way hundreds of monsters could just disappear like that…
Those two also seemed quite puzzled.
"Look, the dragons are retreating!" Xenovia pointed out.
It's true; all of the dragons seem to be moving away from us. They seem to be moving towards the centre of the city.
"What the he-"

An absolutely horrific scream reached my ears, followed by a disastrous explosion.
The already destroyed town somehow became worse. The cracked streets now completely fell apart, many of the half-destroyed buildings were now completely destroyed, all the windows that were somehow intact now shattered completely.
The blood-red cloud that emerged from the centre of the city completely vaporized all the monsters that were in sight.
I and the other two were completely shaken. But, it wasn't the destruction that shook us. No, we've seen worse.
It was the horrific, blood curling scream that came before it.
"…t-t-the hell w-w-w-was…t-t-t-that?" Irina's voice was extremely shaky, and understandably so. No one would be able to keep their composure after hearing that…scream.
"…" Xenovia and I didn't utter a word. We're still trying to take in what just happened. Just as I was about to say something-
"…I feel…huge amounts of power…from the centre of the city" Xenovia said with a frown.
Yes, I could sense it too. A huge amount of power was concentrated at the middle of the city.
It could be Trihexa powering up…
No…
It was not the same…
Trihexa's power is…different…
All of us mutually agreed to go and investigate.
On the way there, I couldn't think straight. Something was wrong. My heart was feeling weird and my wings were feeling fatigued. I really don't know why. I don't think I took a fatal attack to my body is completely fine physically…then why….
"…I feel light headed…" Irina said in a slightly weak voice. It's almost as if she was out of breath. I look back to see both Irina and Xenovia stumbling in the air.
"…I'm unable to think straight. Something's happened to my brain…" Xenovia complained.
So I'm not the only one…
"Don't worry girls, just tough it out for a little while. I'm feeling light headed too, but we've got to investigate this."
It seems like I've managed to keep them stable for now.
Ugh, this feeling is very uncomfortable.
What's happening to us?
Just as we thought we were about to fall, we reached our destination. One thing I immediately noticed was the color of the sky. It was a shade of red you would only see in your nightmares.
"…LOOK AT THAT!"
Xenovia shouted suddenly.
I looked in the direction Xenovia was pointing to.
A giant blood-red dome like structure stood within the massive field.
And right in front of it…
…
…
…
was Trihexa.
"The others have come here as well." Irina pointed out.
Yes. Asia, Koneko, Kuroka, Gasper, Kiba, Ravel and Rossweisse were there. They too seemed awe-struck by this giant glowing dome.
I, however, couldn't see Ise or Rias anywhere. Where could they be?
I tried forming a communication circle to contact Issei and Rias.
"No use, we've tried multiple times"
I look over to my left to see Koneko flying towards us.
"Koneko! Is everyone alright?" I ask
Koneko nodded.
"Everyone is alright, but no one has seen Rias-buchou or Ise-senpai. Rias's communication circle must be malfunctioning, but Ise-senpai's communication circle doesn't even form a connection." She added.
…This is concerning. I hope they're ok.
BBBBBBWWWWWWHHOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Suddenly, the dome started moving violently, like it was about to explode.
The amount of sheer power that was being emitted from the dome…
"It must be the work of a Maou" I said.
Koneko seemed to agree with me.
I tried getting close-

…
I've got goosebumps forming all over my body.
It was that same scream again.
Was something, or someone, inside there?
Was whoever inside the dome responsible for all of this power?
"GGGGHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHH!"
Trihexa's scream brought our attention back on that beast.
We were so distracted by this dome that we completely forgot about Trihexa. Even Trihexa seemed to have forgotten about everything. It was just staring at that dome.
The dome started vibrating even more violently. It was going to erupt!

-was the last thing I heard. Those words along with a huge beam of light came out from the dome.
Everything turned white.
…..
{NORMAL P.O.V.}
The huge beam of concentrated raw power was shot from the giant dome. It's target was Trihexa. The beast couldn't move out in time and it hit it. Quite a bit of the beast's body was destroyed. However, it was still alive. But it was paralyzed for a bit, just like everyone else present there. The shield Akeno created was blown into smithereens. All of them who were there were thrown back due to the amount of power that was exerted. Everything stood still for a good couple of minutes

Wherever I looked, destruction clouded my vision.
That is not to say that it wasn't like this before, but now…

It was different
I could feel that

Something was wrong.
This is nothing like Trihexa'sdistruction.

TRIHEXA!
I hurriedly look towards where Trihexa was

Gone
What?
How?
AGH! So many questions, yet no answers!

Urgh, I don't feel well. It feels like I'm about to puke at any moment now.
…uurrgghh…HYEAH
Ahh, finally got up.
…eh?
Is that…Rias? Why is she sitting there? Is she…crying?
"…urgh…what…happened?" Irina seemed to have woken up beside me
Yeah, I don't know how many times I've mentioned it but, everything looks terrible
OUCH!
Argh, my head…
I had to gather all of my strength to keep myself from falling down.
"…Rias?...are you…okay? We've not seen you for a long time…"
I started going towards her.
Yes, she was indeed sobbing.
"…*siff*..."
"…Rias?"
"…I wont forgive them…"
What is she saying?
…she has something on her lap
"…Rias?"
As I got right next to her, the pain in my head is at its peak
"Rias, what's going on-

-[NEW WORLD]-
(3rd person POV)
It was a rather quiet day at Kuoh. Which, if you couldn't tell already, was rather unusual. Well, most of the people appreciated it, finally a nice and quiet day. You can have tea in peace without some random earthquake warning on the news. You can drive to work peacefully without running into a pothole. You can take your dog for a walk without it dying randomly (ok maybe this is a little much).
…However, this was a cause of concern. If the city of Kuoh is going through a 'normal' day, then there is definitely something 'abnormal' going on the in supernatural world. For the devils residing in Kuoh, it is almost a confirmation that something terrible is about to go down very soon.
A certain Red head is looking out through the window, her gaze set towards the horizon.
"I have a bad feeling about today…"
"Is this the place?"
Issei and Raynare were standing in front of the park. Raynare mentioned that she was supposed to be meeting this 'sacred gear possessor' looks towards Issei and nods.
However, when Raynare looked at Issei, she saw that he was…gazing off into the distance, as if trying to remember something.
"…umm…" Raynare didn't know what to say
Isseis lines (written before, just copy + paste)
"Ahh, sorry, I just kinda…nevermind" Issei said after shaking his head, which brought him out of his thoughts
Raynare remained silent, but she was definitely skeptical of was supposed to be the target of her former group. They have been stalking him for some time and figured that he had no clue about the supernatural world and that he was just a normal dude, although quite perverted. So, for him to be knowing about the supernatural and for him to know magic spells such as teleportation spells, which he used to bring them here, was quite a shock for her. Maybe he is more than what hey thought him to be.
Just as her train of thought reached the end of its journey, she saw that Issei had stiffened. She looked towards the direction Issei was looking towards, and then she saw the person she's supposed to meet.
A short figured girl who had a cute face, long blonde hair, and was wearing a nun uniform.
Alas, Issei and Asia Argento, will meet once more.
Asia, till now, was watching the beautiful scenery of the town. It was her first time here, so she took her time in praising the natural beauty of the town."My, it must've been a blessing from God for me to visit this town. It's so calm and soothing with beautiful sceneries everywhere you go." She thought
*WHOOOOONG*
SHIIIN
Suddenly, a light spear was thrown at Asia's direction.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Asia screamed as brought her hands in front of her face.
However, those light spears we're intercepted by the Raven haired fallen angel.
She brought out her own light spear to deflect the other light spear. Both the spears shattered when contact was made and a sound similar to breaking of glass could be heard.
"You ok?" The fallen asked.
"Lady Raynare!" Asia exclaimed. This was the person she was supposed to meet today.
"Agh, You have to ruin our plans again, don'tchyaRaynare?" The person who shot the light spear revealed themselves. A man in his 40s, wearing a black leather jacked, a black hat, and proudly boasting two black wings with the same leathery texture of his jacked.
"More like trying to fix what I have created, Dohnaseek" Raynare snorted.
Dohnaseek sent a smirk towards Raynare. "You would've been called a leader, a hero for fallen kind! And you still can achieve that title, if you hand over the nun"
Raynare grunted. "War-loving freaks" she said under her breath
"~I can hear youuu~" Dohnaseek said playfully before he started laughing maniacally. "MWAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHH- YOU TWO, COME OUT, ITS TIME TO HAVE SOME FUUUNN"
From the bushes, cam out two fallen angels.
One looked like a mature women in her mid 20s, embracing a voluptuous body with a nice hourglass figure, long blue hair and a pink jacket along with her two black wings.
The other looked like a high schooler with a short and petit, yet still attractive figure. She was wearing a rather seductive maid uniform. Her petit figure was accompanied by slightly shoveled blonde hair which was tied into two short ponytails on either side.
"Ugh. Kalawarner, Mittelt, I remember that you two used to loathe going on missions which included some war-restart-worthy shenanigans. What's gotten into you!?" Raynare screamed. The two female fallen merely scoffed.
"That's before we saw the benefit of fallen kind of we restart the war." Kalawarner said with a rather stoic expression.
"Yeah! That and the amount of fun we've had doing this, fufufufu" Mittelt tittered.
"One last chance, Raynare, Give us the n- *OOOOF*"
Before Dohnaseek could finish his monologue, Issei came out of, well, nowhere, and delivered a harsh blow to his gut.
"Damn you all really know how to get on someone's nerves."Issei scoffed.
Mittelt and Kalawarner took hostile positions.
As Dohnaseek got up and grunted, "Grh, Brat, who are you and what do you think yourself to be!" he commanded
"I'm just someone who wants y'all to piss off man, war shit is not cool. Trust me, I know." He replied nonchalantly.
After a closer inspection, Kalawarner's face had a frown.
"You're the other sacred gear possessor we were targetting." She said.
Mittelt's eyes went wide. While Dohnaseek just scoffed.
"Hah, don't be ridiculous, the boy we were monitoring was a ridiculous perv who was peeking on girls. No way this guy is…" As Dohnaseek looked closely, he realised that it was indeed the guy they were monitoring.
"Well, who said that a pervert cannot pack a punch?" Issei smirked. This angered Dohnaseek to no end.
Raynare was having a hard time deciding what to do after seeing the events unfold. She had a terrified Asia behind her whom she was sheltering, but in front of her was Issei who was in turn diverting the other three fallen's attention away from her. Should she stay and assist him in the fight that obviously follows after those exchange of words, or does she take Asia to safety, which was the main plan?
However, her worries were instantly elevated when she saw a teleportation circle form under Asia's legs. She knew it was Issei's work as she had travelled through that same circle as she came to the park.
"L-l-l-lady Raynare!?" Asia was confused.
"Don't worry, you'll be taken somewhere safe. Just, wherever you end up in, stay there. Don't go anywhere, alright?" Raynare asked with a warm smile.
Raynare saw Asia nod as the glow from the magic circle engulfed her. She also saw Issei glance and nod slightly at her.
"Wha- WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THE NUN!" Dohnaseek screamed.
"Hm? Oh, it seems like someone else has teleported her somewhere." Issei spoke nonchalantly.
"Don't act dumb" Mittelt commented.
"What? I can't do magic, and that fallen over there definitely can't use magic of such high power, can she?" Issei spoke, this time with a slight hint of sarcasm.
Raynare made a (-_-) face at Issei's remark, but remained quiet nonetheless.
"Hmmm, I guess so" Kalawarner thought.
"AAARRGGGHH, WE'LL STILL BE THROUGH WITH YOU, SO YOU DON'T INTERFERE WITH OUR PLANS AGAIN!" Dohnaseek screamed.
He lunged at Issei with his hands clasped into fists. Issei, feeling confident, let the attack hit. But…
BOOOOOOM
He was flown back quite a bit.
'…agh, darn, how did that-'
{I've told you partner, you do not have the same amount of power you did back in our original world. Even if you're magic power and skills might still be potent in a battle, your body's physique needs to be worked on if you want to truly go back to that power level}
'I see…'
Issei got up and took a fighting stance.
"HAH, underestimated me didn't'chya? Don't forget, I'm a mid class fallen angel. I can crush you easily if you get blown so hard only by a single punch" Dohnaseek laughed.
Issei rubbed his lips with the back of his palm.
"Yeah, you're right. I need to stay at the top of my game to keep up."Issei smirked. "But I also think you need to keep up with your surroundings."
"What do you you-OOOOOOOF"
Raynarebrexit tacked Dohnaseek's legs at blinding speed. Seriously, even Issei had trouble keeping an eye on Raynare.
"AAAAAARRGHHH, WHAT, YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS" Dohnaseek screamed with a mix of agony and fury.
Kalawarner and Mittelt were quick to engage in a fight with Raynare. Kalawarner summoned a myriad of light spears at Raynare, all of them going at high speed. It almost looked like a Railgun. Raynare, with her incredible speed, was able to dodge most of the light spears. She had two light spears on both of her hands to protect her from the ones she couldn't outrun.
Mitteltfollowed up by engaging on a one on one with Raynare. Her light spear was unique. It has two sharp tips on both ends of the spear. Her spear was also more fine tuned towards damage, at the cost of agility.
Raynare knew that and had to take complete advantage of that. Mittelt spun her light spear and then held it on her left hand. Raynare took a battle stance as well. Mittelt was the first to attack and swung her spear at Raynare's gut. Her quick reflexes allowed her to dodge most of the attack, but it did cut her skin slightly. Raynare retorted by using the light spears she had on both of her hands and started a chain of rapid attacks at Mittelt. Mittelt was able to block some of them, but she was still hit by a large chunk of them, mainly on her limbs. As she tried to swing once more at Raynare, Raynare jumped and slashed at Mittelt's chest, tearing away some of her clothing and revealing her bra. Mittelt screamed and fell back. But Raynaresaw that Mittelt had a smirk on her face. In her confusion, she didn't realize that she was the one soon about to be on the ground. She heard something coming from behind her. As she turned, her eyes widened. Light spears traveling at great speeds, coming towards her. Without having much time to do anything, she took her own two light spears to defend her. She was able to deflect a few, but a good number of them cut her skin. She groaned and screamed everytime a spear cut her skin.
At last, when all the spear were either deflected, shattered or made contact with her, Raynare was lying in the ground, gasping for air. She had huge cuts in many places and she was bleeding profusely from many of those cuts. The little amount of clothing she was wearing was also torn in many places, which revealed more of her, what would be a magnificent body if it was not for all the cuts and bruises.
"So, it seems like our ex-mighty leader wasn't so mighty on her own, eh?" Even with her cuts, Mittelt was able to smirk and throw comments at Raynare.
"We knew how you used to fight, so we used it for our benefit. You probably also knew how we fought, but I guess, as Mittelt said, fighting alone is probably pretty hard" Kalawarner smirked.
"…why…why do…want a war…our race will…" Raynare was unable to speak properly. She was gasping for air.
"Ugh, Don't you understand? The war is GOOD for our race, we would've won if it went on!" Mittelt spoke.
"Even now, we have the upper hand in terms of technology. If the war were to start, we would be victorious. We would be the strongest race among the biblical factions." Kalawarner commented.
"You do realize that for you all to win the war, most of the fallen angel faction has to participate right?"
Kalawarner and Mittelt turned to face the person who said those words. Their eyes widened.
It was Issei, and he was dragging…the body of Dohnaseek.
He threw the body towards the two fallen. They quickly reached down to check if he was alive.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill him. He's just out cold for a while." Issei spoke as if it's just a normal thing.
The two looked at Dohnaseek and then at Issei. One hand, Dohnaseek looked as if he had been through a whole war. His clothes were torn, cuts and bruises everywhere. On the other hand, Issei looked as though he had just fallen over once or something. Slightly dusty, sure, but his clothes were still mostly intact. The only part of his clothing which was torn was the part of his trousers covering his knee. There were no visible cuts either.
Issei smirked as he saw their wide-eyed expression.
Seeing his smirk, both of them got even more agitated.
""YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!""
{Raynare P.O.V}
…I am a failure, both as a fallen angel, and a leader.
I wasn't able to help my comrades to be free from Kokabiel's control, and neither was I able to defeat them in battle. Was I really fit to be their leader in the first place?
…I see lights and flashes, I'm guessing that some fight is still going on. Or it might just be me loosing my vision.
…Issei, I hope you are ok. I know we only met for a little while, but…I don't know. You helped me much more than a normal person would've helped me in such a short amount of time…heck, I don't think I've ever been helped by someone in my life. My team was just following my orders, I don't think that's help. So Issei, I hope that you will be ok. Maybe meet a nice girl one day…..somehow I don't like the thought of that, of you meeting a nice girl. I would rather that girl…be me.
Oh what am I thinking about, I'm going to die anyways. And I've committed way to many sins, and we've only just met. He probably doesn't think anything about me, and, I guess that's ok, because I'm about to die anyways.
No one will remember me when I die, so why should he.
…ahh, my vision is dimming. I guess this is it.
…is someone, coming towards me?
…ahh, my eyes are giving up.
"You did good, you can rest now"
That was the last thing I heard before my vision went black.
"…huh…someone got here before we did" A certain blonde knight spoke.
The ORC sensed fallen presence near the park, and they were right. They did find the group of fallen angels who were on their "To eradicate" list. However, what they did not expect is for them to be unconscious and tied up.
"SO, you're telling me, that the group of fallen angels that we've been chasing this whole time, who have always slipped away when we were THIS close to capturing them, was defeated by some random person whose presence couldn't even be felt?" The same blonde knight spoke, and of course that knight was Yumina.
"…hmmm, rather confusing" A long-black haired beauty spoke as she put her hands on her chin. That beauty was Akeno.
The short and petit Koneko was stoic as usual, but it did seem like she actually had some emotion. That emotion was of confusion.
And of course, the Crimson haired princess was also present. Rias Gremory. She was also, rather confused at this display.
Along with the regular group, there was another member. Kunou.
"It seems like Raynare was able to get away though." Rias commented.
Yeah, the three underlings were unconscious and tied up, but their leader was nowhere to be seen.
"Hmmm…Looks like we've got to call Grayfia again" Akeno suggested.
While they were conversing, Kunou was busy inspecting the fallen. When she was inspecting for traces of magic, she couldn't feel much at all really. But something in her gut told her that this feeling was familiar. She couldn't put a finger on what was making her feel that way, but there was definitely that feeling of familiarity.
"…hmmm…" Kunou hummed.
"Find anything Kunou?" Rias asked. Kunou turned and nodded in negative. "Ahh, well, I guess we have another mystery on our hands. Nonetheless, they will be handed over to the higher ups, probably." Sighs Rias. "Thank you, by the way"
Kunou, who was lost in her own train of thought, was suddenly brought back to the world. "Eh? Why?" She blinked.
"For agreeing to help us devils out. I know that you're still iffy on whether to join the peerage or not, but the fact that you agreed to help us in our endeavors is already huge." Rias smiled at Kunou.
Kunou went red at Rias's words. "EH! Erm, n-n-no. It was the least I could do. After all, you helped my mother be freed from that…weird faction" Kunou's expression went dim as she thought of what her mother had suffered.
Rias put her right hand on Kunou's shoulder. "Hey, what's past is in the past. What matters is that you and your mother are well and safe."
Rias's warm smile was contagious as Kuno's face was lit up as she saw Rias's smile.
"Thank you, Buchou…" Kunou smiled.
"Well, I guess we better report this ASAP" Akeno remarked.
Before the ORC arrived at the scene, Issei had already taken Raynare back home. He used a teleportation portal which led him directly to his room. He knew that both of his parents were out getting groceries, so he knew he was safe in doing so.
He held Raynare in a 'Princess Carry' position.
As he found himself in his room, he heard a quiet and soft voice call out to him.
"…Ummm, Mister?" The voice called out.
Issei looked behind him. He saw that Asia was sitting there in a corner, quietly.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot." Issei apologized as he put Raynare down.
"Its ok, you have just had a big fight. Mister…?" Asia made a shy yet questioning face.
"Oh, uh, I'm Issei Hyoudou." Issei felt awkward re-introducing himself to Asia.
"Issei-San, okay. My name is Asia Argento, it's my pleasure to meet you" Asia bowed.
"No need to be so formal" Issei smiled and nodded. His attention turned to Raynare as he heard her let out a soft groan. He immediately started inspecting her wounds. Although some were superficial, there were many deep cuts and bruises. The one that was the most concerning was the huge gash on her stomach which had rivers of blood oozing out from it.
"AH-!" Asia let out a small yelp as she saw Raynare's condition. "W-w-what happened to lady Raynare!?"
"She was fighting two of those fallen at the same time." Issei sighed. "…I should've been there, but I got caught up in my own annoying fight" Issei clenched his fists.
"It's ok, Issei-san. You did your best." Asia said as she sat down. She then put her hands over Raynare's belly. A bright green light started emitting from Asia's hand. That light, somehow, felt very warm, as If it was a blanket being worn on a chilly night. That light also seemed to heal Raynare's wounds.
Even thought Issei knew what was going on, he was still as mesmerized by it as he was when he saw Asia do it for the first time. Something about it still manages to surprise him.
"…wow…Asia, that's a cool ability you have" Issei commented. He knew what it was, but he thought it would be kinda awkward if he didn't ask Asia about her ability.
"…Oh, erm…this is something I've had as long as I could remember" Asia jerked a little as she heard Issei's comment, but then let out a soft smile as she revisits her memories. "I was put on a pedestal in the church where I lived in for my powers, I was loved by everyone, I was treated as a deity. But all that changed one day…" Asia's smile now turned bittersweet.
Issei clenched his fists. He had already destroyed the people who tortured Asia back in his previous world, but he now felt the urge to destroy them once more. However, he kept his composure so as to not scare Asia.
"I apparently healed someone who should not have been healed, so I was outcast from the church where I lived in" Said Asia
"I'm…sorry" Said Issei.
"No, it's not your fault" Asia looked at Issei and smiled. Issei too smiled back at her. "Well, I don't regret anything. There shouldn't be a separation on whom to heal and whom to not based on their race."
Issei winced a bit as Asia stated that she doesn't regret it. He knew that the person Asia had healed should've just been left to die.
"God has given me this power for the benefit of everyone, not just a select group of people. It's the same as when Issei-san and Lady Raynare saved me" Asia said with a determined expression.
"…...uugghhhh…" Raynare moaned in pain
"Ah! She's coming back!" Asia was now completely focused on healing her.
Issei, however, was now having a conversation with Ddraig.
{Glad to see that she hasn't changed, right partner?}
Yep, same old innocent Asia. Damn…now I really want to kill that bitch Diodora again.
{Same here partner. But, now moving on to the fallen angel…}
…she's, different.
{Partner, I know that you are still skeptical of her, but I don't think she has the same off-the-hook mentality that she had back in our world}
I know Ddraig…but I can't just…forget, you know…
{I understand you partner, so I won't push you to do much with her, although I would advise you to keep her around}
…yeah, she's strong. Much stronger than she was back in our world
{You don't see that kind of speed and agility that often. She would go toe-to-toe with the blonde knight in terms of speed. If it was a one on one, she would have come out victorious}
She would be an excellent knight, just a little touch up on her skills and she might as well be stronger than Kiba, well, stronger than him when I first met him of course
{Hmmm, although now he's a she}
Just stop, Ddraig. My head is dizzy enough from all of my encounters up till now. Kiba's a girl, Raynare is not a fists-for-brains lying fallen angel, and Kunou is apparently 17? Next thing I know, you turn out to be a girl
{Yeah, no. I'm a proud Dragon King}
Good to know. Honestly, how much topsy turvy is this world going to get?
{I don't know partner, but something tells me we haven't seen anything yet}
