Chapter 6: job done
"RAYNARE!!!!!" Mittelt screamed out but before anything could happen the same thing happened to her, as suddenly the shadow next to her visibly distorted and the same barrel of the revolver that took out raynare had taken her.
"Dohnaseek!!!!" Kalawarner screamed out as she summoned her spear, but she didn't feel or notice anything behind her but a eerie sound as she could feel the wind on her feet, she looked back an dohnaseek was freshly downed with a glowing sword firmly jammed in his back and the dust that he stirred up from dropping around him could still be seen, she looked up from the body of dohnaseek and standing there was a man, he wore a mask that looks like it was perpetually crying tears of blood, the only noticeable detail aside from that was the eyeholes that were sharp and angular, but the most eye catching thing was his eyes, because they held an unnatural streak of blue where ever he walked, just adding the feeling of dread that the supernatural pressure he was already oozing out, and as she blinked her eyes, and at that moment as if a pit had dropped in her stomach she couldn't believe it because when she blink the same barrel of the gun and the man holding it had suddenly appeared inches from her face, and as she faced the barrel of the gun that took out her comrades she desperately tried to move or attack the gun away from her forehead, and despite its close proximity and her own racial advantages from what she could perceive as a regular human, she couldn't do anything as a loud bang could be heard and the last thing she saw was the gun shining in the moon light, and the final thing she saw was him turning around the barrel still freshly smoking.
[a few hours before]
"Wo hooo!!! I'm free!!!!" And a flash of gray could be seen as a few minutes ago Gin was given the green light to go, and currently going at speeds only thought to be seen with specialized aircrafts.
"I know, but do you blame me, I mean I wasn't stuck in there but still feels like I was," Gin said as his familiar talked to him.
"Don't be like that Alex, since the faster this job is done the faster we can make your favorite," and his response was making the leather trench coat he was shaped as to become more arrow dynamic. "Good boy,"
[a few hours later]
"Hmm so this is kuoh, seems like a pretty average place if you ask me, oh well i'll conceal myself just incase," and so he jumped down from the tree he was and looked for the closest land with holy signature, and he wasn't far.
"Well would you look at that Alex, going for the high ground made our job easier, but the people who made this must really like to look down on people or just like to see them suffering from leg cramps, no wonder this place is abandoned," and Gin walked down until he heard sword clashing, screaming and profanities, a bright flash of light and the exorcist was running.
"I'm guessing that's one of the possible targets, oh well I can just turn the magic bullets none lethal, best thing I found after learning the rune of harmlessness, funny thing about that one is that it takes away the possibility of death since it's like a protection rune, but the pain still exists," and a silent bang could be heard and the mark was hit, as freed got launched to the side rolling and hitting a rock between his legs. "Ohhh, that's gonna hurt when he wakes up," gin said as he breathed in sharply.
"Ohh but look seems like there heading in, either they had heard that there strays or there out for vengeance, ehh who cares Alex were not part of any group so we can easily leave," and walking closer I got behind the church, seeing nothing like a secret entrance I clicked my tongue and placed my hand on the ground, scanning the earth I got a map of the basement making me think that who ever made this was probably one of those who liked little boys.
Mapping out the area I walked a little bit further to behind the cross they are using on someone I presume to be one of the devils friends, asking Alex to dig out a hole for me and he did, after that I took out one of my masks to hide my identity, it wasn't just any normal mask to, it had the runic symbols for hide, distort, and forgetful, after equipping that I used my alchemy to widen the hole silently and used the shadow of the cross to get a quick sneak attack.
I got a little scared when the raven haired girl got close to me but it looked like she didn't see me at all, and after her little outburst.
"Tch, tch, tch, naughty aren't we," and you know the rest.
[present]
"Ok, so who's willing to fight back?" I said as I took the sword from dohnaseek's back and walked closer to the cross, and a moment of silence occurred as I silently turned off the machine azazel haphazardly crafted together in his madness of studying the sacred gears, though it worked, the cost was to great, unstable sacred gears, compatibility issues, even caused some of them to go mad, so over all azazel found this worthless.
"AHHHH!!!!!" A lone exorcist screamed in the back, but before anything could happen a blue streak landed on his forehead and his body got launched back as he lied there motionless, the others saw this and in fear they stayed down and didn't move, aside from them the only ones who moved was the devils.
"GET AWAY FROM ASIA!!!!" A spiky brown haired boy said as he tried to kick the side of my head with his armored left foot.
"Wow, wow, wow, easy there tiger, i'm not an enemy, promise," I said as I blocked his kick with my gauntlet, but even with that I could still feel the power behind his kick, and I got to admit it because without my specialized gauntlet my arm would have been broken.
"What were you doing to asia then," he asked angrily as he got into a mix of boxing and taekwondo stance.
"Chill man, i'm just turning off the machine, jeez people have no patients now a days, also while I do this could you keep an eye on them and please tie them up," I said as I gave them a gray rope, the brown haired boy felt its weight and its flexibility, it was normal rope but he didn't think so after hearing it drag metallically through the ground.
…
"How is she?" The brown haired boy asked as he took her in his arms.
"I'm sorry kid, the dam machine damaged her soul to much," I said as I drew a magic circle around on the tied up people.
"Wh What does that mean?" The brown haired boy asked a little desperately.
"It means her life is shortened, and seeing as humans are generally soft and weak and with that amount of damage, she would be lucky to live up to 30, and at worst a few years from now," I said as I dragged the bodies of the fallen to the circle.
"I, is there any way to fix it?" He asked a little weaker.
"Sorry kid, there isn't anything I can do to spiritual damage, best thing you could do is find a yokai that specializes in youjutsu and senjutsu, but as rare as they are and with the current turmoil with the factions your chances are close to zero pal," and I finished my job by powering it up with a pamphlet that had a magic symbol in it and when it landed on the magic circle the pile of bodies disappeared.
"Issei, if it helps were sorry we couldn't help much," Kiba said a little sympathetic of the situation.
"Its ok, it was already a gamble to come here yet you two came, that's enough," Issei said as tears finally fell after everything calmed down, and his failure could be seen now, and within his mind the words worthless, failure, incompetent, weak, among other words started flowing through his head. "I'm, i'm, sorry asia, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry I let this happen again, guhhh," as Issei cried and clutched her tightly yet soft his sobs and anguished face could be felt by everyone.
"Issei san, it, it's ok, I, I still have time left right? So We can still have time to spend," and those gentle yet soft voice finally hit the last nail, and he sobbed and cried like a child, Kiba and koneko nodded to each other and walked up the stairs, and I left.
"Umm, thanks for saving me mister," asia said as she saw me, lit under the moonlight.
"Its nothing, I was just doing my job," and I jumped exiting through the hole I had made, and closed it with alchemy, only leaving the room lit with the candles.
"I'm, so so sorry, (hic) i'm sorry, (sniff) I really am," Issei said as he sobbed on her thighs soaking the black nun outfit she still had though ripped in some places it was still intact.
"Its ok Issei, we'll just have to spend whats left with all we can," she said as she stroked his head gently.
"B, but its my fault, if only I had came sooner, if only I was stronger, if only I was faster, if only I was better, you could have had more time to fulfill your wish, you could have had years to spend in living your dream, if I was faster you could have had more time making friends, if only I was stronger you wouldn't have been stolen, if only I was better none of this would have happened, you were next to me, I could have done somethi-" and his self destructive rant was stopped with a pair of lips landing gently on his head and a tight hug.
"Its ok Issei, I may not have much left, but it will be my happiest if I can happily spend it with you," and the two hugged.
"But, I am a little tired now, can I rest for a bit," she said.
"Sure, sleep well asia, because i'll be there to fulfill your wishes at any cost," and so with a smile asia fell asleep in his arms, and there Issei stayed, biting his lower lip and angrily holding himself back from getting back at that mindset, because right now he has a goal, and that is to fulfill her wishes till the end.
…
…
…
"Shut up Alex, i'm still human you know," and a few feet away was Gin crying from what he had just left.
"Not only that I also let the exorcist I shot get away," I said as I was where I remembered the exorcist had landed, but the smell of ash and blood clued me in on what took him, and if that wasn't proof enough a black feather was there so that was the biggest clue anyone could get, plus with the deep scent of blood it told me who was really the main culprit, and all I could think of was goodbye to that twenty dollars.
"Well shiiiiiiit, i'm going to get an ear full from him, well the feather should be good enough for proof," I said as I pocketed the feather in my dimensional ring. "So, you two just gonna stay there and stalk me all night," I said in a dual tone voice and a white mask formed around my face.
"Oh my, it seems like we've been caught, what so ever will we do," a woman's sensual voice came as a woman in a shrine priestess clothing came down, her hair was tied in a pony tail with an orange ribbon, but surprising of all her round and focused amethyst purple eyes, it reminded me of a fallen but her signature scent was demonic.
"It would appear to be so," another voice came out as a red haired woman came down from the trees.
"So, who do I have the honor of meeting this fine evening," I said still with a dual tone voice, but I did do a cordial bow.
"Do you not know who you are standing in front of," she said with a colder tone complemented with the stern face and the environment darkening.
"Oh my, hm hm hm," I chuckled in that distorted voice visibly making them slightly nervous.
" to be honest I know little of the area, I knew there was some demonic heiresses that owned the area,"
"Ah so tha-"
"Tch, tch, tch, has no one told you to not interrupt someone while there still speaking," as the eyes she could finally see through the mask unnerved her, his sclera a deep shade of red, his eye a golden light of brown, and his mask a mask that looks like its perpetually crying blood, not to mention his creepy posture and irritatingly creepy voice that seems to grind unnervingly at her ears.
"Well then I will continue, I do know of some demonic heiresses that took residence in the town of kuoh, but I didn't know who they were, and to me you might as well be a nobody," I said and I proceeded to let a gentle hand out as if to say you may speak now.
"If so, then why did you help my peerage,"
"Oh that's simple my lady, tis was a job of course,"
"Umm, is that all?"
"What? Don't tell me you thought I would be stupid enough to enter an unknown demon's territory? And aim for the heads that could be backed by any demon that could set me a blaze?" And it became silent. "Hahaha, you really thought I was, hahahaha, either you are fresh in this or you don't have enough knowledge of the world, hahaha," and I continued to laughed at a reddening red head. "Ughh, my side, ugh, ok, before this gets out of hand, i'll tell you, ugh my side, i'm a mercenary, a hired gun if you will, and my target this night was the fallen," I said as I pulled out the feather in my storage space, the girl in the priestess clothing didn't change expression but her aura begged to differ.
"So are you a friend or foe?" The red haired girl said as she pulled herself together.
"Depends really, and before you ask I am a mercenary first, I could be having tea with you one day and the next I would be penetrating you from behind and the last things you'll ever see would be me without any remorse, you got that? Because I am no friend, or foe, but I am an anomaly that will forever be looming at your head," I said as calmly as if I was talking about the weather and not silently threatening her, but in my mind I was thinking as if I would go agains the two most dangerous demons in this world, plus I like to have a background check on who I hunt so I don't take to big of a bite, cause if i'm not careful I might just choke to death.
"Is that a threat," she asked while she flared her power and subsequently her subordinate did so as well.
"No, but you can consider this as one," I said as I tapped my foot and magic rushed through the ground and holes varying in shapes and sizes began to surround them, be it earth or wood it had one and inside the holes it was an abundance of magic power that meant they were ready to strike, and by the feel of it he could kill her just with a tap of his shoe.
"Miss today I am not your enemy, but push to far or make an enemy to quickly I may be inclined to strike," I said as she could do nothing but stand and press her lips together.
"Good now that we got that out of the way, i'll say this so you don't miss understand, you may have someone to thank, but enough of that its my time to disappear," I said and a thick fog envelops the forest and before they knew it I was gone.
"So, who do you think sent him?"
"Shut up akeno," and then they left.
-so much for fucking stealth azazel, I mean its probably my fault but how the fuck did they see me, you need to get better on hiding me Alex,- "ugh," -I get it I get it, fuck I hate that you can do that, I wonder if sirzechs will try to do something to me?- and then Gin walked out of the forest and finally outside the area.
-you know, its better that I didn't get sona, because if I did I might not have been able to leave with my mist,-
"Blub,"
-you right, I could just go with illusions but that's a lot harder, plus with illusion mist I cant hide my presence,-
"Blub,"
-of course bud, i'll make sure to get a lot of dragon blood to make dragon steel, plus we kind of need materials since apparently dragon slayer sword's are in high demand, and I don't really need to worry about being hunted by the dragons seeing as all I sell is low grade that looks good enough, like seriously I can half ass make a sword and make it look pretty and someone will pay top dollar for it as if it was the best,- I thought as I left the forest and entered a small hill area sprinkled with tall grass and tree's, not enough to be a forest but enough to have some shading.
"Blub?"
-yeah, you right, but look at were we are, plus we cant just portal our way out, they'll fined us by using the magic traces left behind and if that happens azezel will have my ass on a pitch fork, so lets look for an area with some natural magic pockets to hide us something like a leline, preferably one with multiple directions because with that it would be nearly impossible to trace the location where we go, cause what do you think a devil will think after some shadily dressed person who took out a gaggle of humans and 4 fallen angels going to the Grigori?,-
"Blub,"
"Yup, that's right bud," and I stomped my foot and a glowing blue light crack came out originating under my foot, and a blink of the eye later he was gone.

"He said she will not live long, 30 years at best and a few years at worst," Issei said with his hands over his face and his bangs shadowed his eyes.
"… Issei," rias said but was stopped by Issei.
"Its alright, at least you cared enough to send help before researching,"
"I see,"
"Can you do anything for her president?" Issei said with a desperate tone.
"What?"
"Can you do anything for her president?" Issei repeated with the desperation a little bit deeper.
"Why would i…?"
"She can heal us, and from my experience quickly at that," Issei said as he looked at rias's eye with desperation, you could even call it begging, but not only that rias looked genuinely pained to see someone to pure and gentle beg her, she already knew those and had the intention to reincarnate her but she wanted to wait for her to wake so she could choose.
But before that she might as well interrogate her pawn a little, "What does she mean to you,"
"She is an important friend, a friend Who's promise I couldn't keep," and she saw his brown eyes moisten.
"I promised that her wish would come true, I promised that she would live happily, I could have protected her, none of this would have happened if I was only faster," and his tears began to fall, the strong and goofy boy she knew broke down in front of her, not even the fight with viser made him show so much emotion.
"So please, help her, if you do I will forever be at your service, weather it's a fight with a god or something far more, if you grant me this one wish I will forever be yours," Issei said while tears rolled down his face and his head on the floor bowing to show his desperation.
"Its ok Issei," she kneeled in front of him and grabbed him into a hug. "She is important to you, but only she can decide for herself, so will see," and Issei grabbed on her back as if she was the only thing keeping him stable, and he cried deeply on her shoulders.
…
…
…
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN," I screamed at the phone as I was at the strip club suite.
[ok, I get it, but please do this for me] azazel said begging through the phone
"Fuck no azazel, I had one job and I done it, plus my little stealth mission fucking failed so they know what my body outline looks like,"
[did you not hide your magic?]
"Even if that's the case the magic I used to catch the fallen will be scanned and will be traced to me,"
[cant you use one of your grails to change your magic signature?]
"First of all my grails aren't real because there more like glorified magic containers with side effects, secondly you and I both know how badly that would turnout since I have Alex, thirdly you think I can hide the signature of my grails while walking around? And even if I did the wards in the town would sense it at one point, if not someone would notice that the wards are going away due to lack of magic because when out of my storage they naturally suck up magic, so yeah I cant pull that off,"
[Ok, how about you use Alex like some sort of magical distorter?]
"You shitting me? That's not a skill Alex would learn, and before you say something, i'm pretty sure magic writing or circles etched into his body wouldn't last long, since he's a slime and all and slimes move around,"
[well that's out, but cant you do it? Your a smart one, and you can probably find a way, right?]
"I do have a way, but i'll be as squishy as a normal human,"
[ohh, are you finally going to test that thing out]
"You better send me the shit I want, and get me some low to high grade dragon blood this time because if not, i'm going to shove my boot up your ass you hear me,"
[yes sir, also might I add-]
"I'm not going to school azazel, and if you try and tell me it's the spring time of your youth or some bullshit like what you constantly say to Vali I will personally burn down your research,"
[jeez kid, you must hate school to come for my research]
-i'm a 30 year old man in this kids body, so I had enough of school now ok, plus this world has some weird interaction with people and supernatural physics, because I could swear that every bulge and lump of fat that seems to be attached to sex appeal seem to jiggle like gravity and physics doesn't exist, like seriously if this was in my past life those would sag or be ripped off,-
"You could say that,"
[so…. That's all?]
"Oh no you don't azazel, and since your moving me here,"
[why cant I cancel call, shemhazai help]
"Oh shemhazai cant help you with this one azazel, those seals I placed on your phone really helped,"
[ughhh… just please don't make it cost to much]
"You basically got an infinite amount of budget, so I don't think that my request won't do much,"
[oh you know out of everyone that your requests cost way to much]
"Hehehehehe,"
And that's chapter end,
Thanks for reading and have a good day.
Question of the day: if you could create a simple single element manipulator type sacred gear what would you call it and what can you do with it?
Example:
Name: air raider
Class: common
Appearance: simple shoes with wheels on the bottom, increases the users speed and kicking force and bestows the wielder moderate control over wind.
Passive:
Increased speed
Increased kicking power
Average wind manipulation
Skills:
[wind burst] It shoots a jet of wind behind the wielders shoe to push them forward.
[wind slice/ tempest kick] throws a blast of cutting wind at the direction of the wielders kick.
[air walk] as the shoes are made of wind they are given the choice to be able to step on wind as if it was the ground.
Optional:
[Balance breaker: sky king's feet]
Sky kings feet transforms the simple looking shoes into shoes that looked like the head of a beast, with its wheels now having blades, the shoe grows metallic and more sharpened edges, and the tip of the shoe looks like the mouth of a beast, and it almost looks like the shoes are climbing up the wielders legs as its claws dig in its wielder as what looks like dried blood and torn up jeans could be seen almost like a sacrifice was made for power, as the wind violently but gently surrounds there feat, and from with in the wind what seemingly looks like red arks of lightning could be seen with in the storm
Passive:
Greater speed,
Greater strength,
Greater wind control,
Domain expansion: a Field that gives the wielder an advantage, they can allow a storm to envelop the area, allowing the area to be enveloped in a raging storm it can increase the users over all effectiveness, but if not the wielder will have a hard time holding back the wind and will only get the initial benefits, but when contained the other abilities are given double strength but it gives the user a higher chance of inflicting damage to themselves when using an ability. (Think of this like kisame's water domain when he fought killer bee)
Abilities:
[Fang] a kick similar to wind slice/tempest kick but far more destructive and behind it a trail of what looks like blood can be seen.
[Bloodhound step/blink] its an ability where the user is enveloped with wind and red lightning leaving not a trace, and where they stood the ground would be aggressively sliced up, and left in its wake would be red lightning evaporating like dust. (Think thanos snap]
[Crush] a skill that can be activated upon contact with anything or anytime the wielder desires, it summons a head of a monstrous creature that vaguely looks like a dragon and not at the same time, the wind monster would then bite down creating an explosion of wind and what was on the inside depending on there strength would be crushed and sliced at the same time. (Think of shinra from fire force when he pulls out the rock sign, but with achnologia's head from fairy tail)
[imperial sky] as the wielder has achieved the next stage they gain dominance of the wind the wielder can slice or create a wind force so strong it can crush rocks, it is only useable when there domain is active, but its benefits are allowing the user to freely attack without moving controlling the wind to slice anywhere he likes or crush where ever he likes. (Think of byakuya bankai) weakness, user needs to see the opponent.
Limitations:
Wielders magic pool.
Uses the user's blood for power.
Needs to continuously manage the wind.
Self harming capabilities.
Lore:
Air raider is one of many mass produced sacred gears, unlike twilight healing its rarity is far more similar to the twice critical,
It is the first sacred gear with willing participants when God was in the initial phase of creation of the sacred gear, they are made from elemental spirits and thus there is the fire, water, earth, and lightning variants, them with there own abilities.
And with all that said and done place down your ideas I might just use them.
Well then as usual have a good day, thank you for reading, review and thanks for being here bye.
Fish out.
