Rescue

Issei PoV

The sky is already dark, and it's already time for the street lamps to be on. The five of us, Regina-san, Raina-san  Kiba, Koneko-chan, and I, are examining the Church from a place where we can see it.

There is no one entering or exiting the Church. But the closer we got to the Church, the stronger I started to have a bad feeling. I'm sweating from all over my body.

When I ask Kiba, he says that, "From this presence, it's certain that there is a Fallen Angel inside".

So the enemy's boss is inside.

"Are you nervous? Fufufu" Raina-san asked with a teasing voice. Ever since we left she really liked to tease me.

"Well... a bit."

Kiba then showed us a map.

"Here, look at this map." saying so Kiba spread out the map of the building on the road.

The map of the Church. Where did he get if from…?

"Well, it's basic when you are going into the enemy's territory."

The good looking guy makes a smile.

Wow, what swift support. I didn't even think about it and was trying to get in head on. I realised how naive I am once again.

"Besides the sanctuary, there is also a dormitory. The sanctuary looks

suspicious."

Kiba points at the sanctuary.

"So we can ignore the dormitory then?"

"Most likely. Most "Stray Exorcist" groups usually make some alteration to the sanctuary. They usually perform suspicious rituals under the

sanctuary."

"Why?"

I told him my doubt. Kiba makes a bitter smile. However before Kiba could answer Raina-san answered me.

"Its a representation of their hatred towards God. Places such as churches are places they used to respect and by doing something that rejects God there it makes then satisfied because it's an insult to their former Boss. Because they loved God, Because they were rejected by Him. they purposely cast evil spells under the sanctuary as a representation for their hatred." (Raina)

They are insane. No, even the God who cast away his faithful believers is at fault.

Right now I hate God because of the incident with Asia. That's why I think

that way.

"The sanctuary is located right behind the entrance. I think we can go

straight in. The problem is to find the door to the basement once we get in

the sanctuary, and also if we can defeat the assassins waiting for us." Said Kiba while the rest of us nodded.

Hearing the word assassin made me start having a bad premonition.

We look at each other in front of the Church while the moonlight lit our

face, and then we nod to each other.

We are set!

Now we only have to enter!

Wait for me, Asia!

We passed through the entrance and went straight for the sanctuary.

The Fallen Angels will have noticed our intrusion by this point.

So the enemy knows that we have entered their territory.

There's no going back. The only thing left is to head straight in!

We open the door, and stepped inside the sanctuary.

There is an altar and long chairs. It looks like an ordinary sanctuary. The

candle lights and the interior lamps lit the sanctuary. There is something that didn't seem normal.

The statue of the person on the cross. It has its head destroyed.

What a creepy site.

*CLAP*  *CLAP* *CLAP*  *CLAP*

Then a clap echoes through the sanctuary. Someone who looks like a

priest shows up from behind the pillar.

Seeing his face, I become disgusted. At my side I heard Raina-san whispering which almost made me laugh.

"Fkin poser..." (Raina)

It seemed Regina-san is also trying to hokd her laughter as even with her expressionless face I could see trembling.

"Meeting! It's a reunion! So emotional!" Said Freed as he continued.

"Holy sh*t, I can't believe I'm witnessing this. Is he a chuuni?" (Raina)

The others heard Raina-san this time and started trembling.

"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!" Freed just kept rambling while at the side, Raina-san just kept making remarks about his behavior.

"Why is he acting so edgy is he actually a chuuni?" (Raina)

"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!"

He then turned towards us an noticed that we were giggling and laughing.

"Why are you laughing?!" He exclaimed enraged. He then proceeded to take out his handle only sword and gun, then proceeded to shoot at us.

The blade of light appears. It will be a troublesome to get cut by that sword.

That gun is also troublesome.

But it's different from before. It's 5 against 1 now.

"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!"

Die? What does he mean!?

"Hey! Where is Asia!?"

"Well, there is a hidden stairs under that altar. From there you can go to

the place where they are doing the ritual."

That guy spilled out the location of the hidden basement by pointing at the

altar.

Does he even know that he has to stop us? Or did he spill it out because

he's confident that he can kill us and it will solve the problem?

"He's an idiot isnt he...?" Said Raina and looked towards Freed like he was an idiot.

"He is." Replied Regina with a deadpan expression.

Ignoring them I yelled out,

"Sacred Gear!"

Synchronised with my shout, a red gauntlet appears on my left arm.

Equipping the Sacred Gear, completed! Okay!

Kiba draw his sword from the sheath and Koneko-chan...

Huh! I'm so shocked that my eyes are about to pop out.

Koneko-chan is lifting up the pews that are several times bigger than her.

"Get smashed..."

Koneko-chan throws the pews at the Priest! Super Girl that is totally an

unexpected method of attack!

"Wow! Oh yeah!"

The Priest did a small dance and cut the chair in half with his blade of light.

The chair that is cut in half hits the ground.

"There."

I then glanced at Kiba and saw that he has already disappeared. He's so fast

that I can't see him!

There are sparks between Kiba's sword and the Priest's blade of light.

So it's solid despite being made from light huh. After all, even if Kiba

slashes straight at him, I can hear the sound of two metals colliding against

each other.

"Hmmm! Hmmm! Such a pain! Why are you guys so noisy!? I'm super very bad! I'm sorry for talking in a death language! Forgive me after you die!"

Kiba dodges the soundless bullets with his legs he is proud of while

continuing to attack his enemy.

Kiba who is dodging all of the Priest's attack is amazing.

But the Priest is also something because he can fight on par with a Devil.

Man, he stopped Kiba's slash again!

I can't catch Kiba's movements with my eyes, but the Priest can.

So that shitty Priest is not an opponent that I can take on by myself.

Kiba and the Priest then start to battle head on. Both of them are glaring at

each other.

"Impressive. You are quite strong."

"He is quite skilled for a lunatic." Remarked Regina. Looking at the fight at the side along Raina.

"Onee-chan should we help?" Asked Raina.

"It should still be fine. Their holding on quite fine. The ritual still hasn't started so we have time."

These two are quite carefree huh...

I then returned my focus to the fight between Kiba and Freed

"Ahaha! You too! 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! I was about to cry because of it! Hmmm! Hmmm!

I'm going to kill you!"

"Then maybe I should also fight seriously for a bit then."

Kiba is going to fight seriously? What is he going to do?

"Eat this."

Low pitched voice. I can't believe its Kiba's voice because it has some

intensity in it.

Then, some black stuff comes out of Kiba's sword. It starts to cover the

whole sword.

Darkness.

If I have to describe it, that will be it.

The darkness covers the sword.

No, it's more like the darkness is shaping into Kiba's sword.

The darkness sword that is clashing against the Priest's blade of light

starts to expand and is devouring the blade of light.

"Wha, what the hell is this!?"

The Priest seems confused.

"—[Holy-Eraser], a darkness sword that devours light."

Regina's PoV

"Hmm? Thats quite interesting... I wonder if my treasury has something like that." I muttered overlooking the fight.

My sacred gear, Gate of Babylon has a copy of every single treasure of humanity that continues to increase to this day as the treasures becamethe basis for new technology. As such it has the perfect prototype for every single creation that came after.

Though there are some limitations, one of which are the other sacred gears. As sacred gears were created by the Biblical God not by mankind and didn't use any of the treasures as basis.

From what I know, Sword Birth can create Demon Swords endlessly. Any type the user may think off, its power depending on the individual using it.

"Y-You are also a Sacred Gear possessor!?" Exclaimed the lunatic.

The Lunatic's blade of light is completely devoured by Kiba's sword, and it can't maintain its shape after having the lights devoured.

Seeing this as his chance Issei dashes forward with his sacred gear.

"Sacred Gear! Activate!"

[Boost!!]

A sound comes out from the jewel and the power flows into Issei's body

As he approaches the lunatic becomes aware of him.

"I keeping on telling you! You are annoying!" Screams the lunatic seeing the approaching pervert.

The lunatic proceeds to shoot towards him shooting countless bullets of light.

"Promotion, [Rook]!"

The bullet of light didn't pierce through Issei, and instead returns to nothing.

"-! Promotion!? A [Pawn]!?"

The Lunatic seems to be in shock.

"The traits of a [Rook]!Unreal defence and-!"

Issei then raises his fist and swung towards the Lunatic.

"Ridiculous attack strength." He finishes as he punches the Lunatic on the face and sent hin flying with a smile on his face.

"He must have really hated that lunatic..." muttured my sister, Raina beside me looking at Issei punching the Lunatic.

"That's for hitting Asia that time. I feel relieved that I hit you once."

The Lunatic is on the ground, but gets up slowly and spits his blood onto the ground.

Looking closely it appears his right cheek is swollen. The handle of his sword was cracked from when he blocked Issei's punch earlier.

"...Hmm ...Oh man, not only I got punched by a trashy Devil, but he's

saying some weird crap to me… Don't fuck with me."

The Lunatic makes a howl, appearing really pissed off.

"Don't fuck with me!! You shiiiiiit! A mere Devil shouldn't act cocky with

meeeeee! I'll kill you! Definitely! I'll definitely kill you! I'm going to cut you into pieces, you shiiiiit!"

The Priest takes out his second sword which only has its handle.

"He has a spare... how many does he have?" Issei muttured.

It was at this moment that we started to move and surround him. 

The Lunatic notices it, and he looks around. He begins to smirk.

"Wow, wow. Is this what you call a crisis? Hmm, 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!"

The Lunatic takes out something round and smashes it on to the floor.

Instantly, our eyes are blinded with a shining light.

When we regained our vision the priest is gone.

"I did not expect that..." (Raina)

"Use search magic." I told my sister who nodded.

"Any luck?" Towards my question she shook her head.

"He probably also also has one of those cloaks seeing as how he is related to those Fallen Angels. It may be an inferior version but it still does a good job." Said Raina.

As we were talking the Priest's voice comes from somewhere. Its hard to pinpoint his voice as it echoes around the place.

"Hey. The grunt Devil over there...Ise-kun, was it? To tell you the truth, I have fallen in love with you. So I will definitely kill you. Definitely, okay? I

won't forgive a shitty Devil who punched me and gave me a lecture, okay? Then, bye-bye."

"Is he gay?" Asked my sister when she heard his parting words.

Hearing my sister's question everyone laughed.
