Chapter 113: Shadow Knight

Kalawarna

Kalawarna looked at the unconscious Asia in front of her, her expression unreadable. At her side was Mittelt, who was also eyeing Asia with a mix of curiosity and disdain. The atmosphere in the room was tense, filled with an uneasy silence.

Dohnaseek had left just a moment earlier, muttering something about sensing someone familiar. Kalawarna didn't care much for his sudden departures; her focus was on the girl lying before them.

"What do we do with her?" Mittelt asked, breaking the silence. Her voice was edged with annoyance, clearly displeased with their current situation.

"That bastard Freed made a scene in front of the Gremory heiress. We are probably on their radar right now," Kalawarna said, her tone sharp with irritation. She ran a hand through her blue hair, frustration evident in her eyes.

Mittelt frowned, her arms crossed over her chest. "Great. Just what we needed. Do you think they'll come here?"

Kalawarna shook her head slowly, her eyes fixed on Asia. "It's likely. The Gremory household is not known for letting things slide, especially not something like this. We need to be prepared."

Mittelt's frown deepened. "Prepared for what? A full-on assault? We're not equipped for that."

Kalawarna's eyes flashed with determination. "We need to be smart about this. Asia is our bargaining chip. If the devils come, we can use her to our advantage."

Mittelt looked at Asia.She's just a girl, Kalawarna. Do you really think she'll be of any use against the Gremory heiress and her devils?"

Kalawarna's gaze hardened. "She's more than just a girl, Mittelt. Did you forget, she has a sacred gear, and that's enough to make her valuable? We keep her alive, and we use her if we have to."

Mittelt sighed, clearly still uneasy about the plan. "I just hope you're right. I don't fancy the idea of facing off against devils with just the four of us."

Kalawarna's expression softened slightly, a rare show of vulnerability. "I know. But we don't have much of a choice. We have to play the hand we've been dealt."

The door creaked open, and Dohnaseek stepped back into the room, his expression grim. "We've got company," he announced, his voice low and tense.

Kalawarna's eyes narrowed. "Who?"

Dohnaseek glanced at Asia before meeting Kalawarna's gaze. "I don't know; they are just two of them; one is a girl and the other a guy. The girl is a devil, but the boy looks like a human, and they are facing Freed."

Kalawarna frowned, her mind racing. "Just two? Are you sure?"

Dohnaseek nodded. "Yes. They don't seem like typical exorcists or devils. The girl has an unusual aura."

Just then, they sensed the barrier surrounding the church disappearing, which only means one thing: Freed has been defeated.

Followed by the disappearance of the barrier, the three of them felt another presence. It was anything they felt till now, and even though they haven't seen who it was from the aura alone, they can tell it was not something they can hope to defeat.

Followed by the disappearance of the barrier, the three of them felt another presence. It was unlike anything they had felt until now. Even though they hadn't seen who it was, from the aura alone they could tell it was not something they could hope to defeat.

Kalawarna's eyes widened in alarm. "This... this power...!"

Mittelt's face drained of color. "What is that? Who is out there?"

Dohnaseek clenched his fists, his expression grim. "We need to get out of here. Now."

Kalawarna hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Mittelt, grab Asia. We need to retreat."

As Mittelt rushed to comply, Kalawarna and Dohnaseek stepped outside to assess the situation.

"Where is Asia?" Emerging from the shadows was a figure with a red gauntlet on his left arm. It was none other than Issey.

Kalawarna's eyes narrowed. "Are you the one who defeated Freed? Perhaps not, you're too weak."

Issey didn't bother to respond to the obvious. Instead, she glanced around, taking in the scene.

"If you're here for Asia, you're too late. We're taking her with us," Kalawarna said.

Issey's eyes hardened. "Then that leaves me no choice. You'll have to walk through me."

Kalawarna smirked, her wings unfurling as she prepared for a fight. "You're out of your league, little devil. But if you insist..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the air around them crackled with energy. Issey's red gown began to glow, and a surge of power radiated from her.

Kalawarna's smirk faltered for a moment as she sensed the intensity of Issey's determination.

Dohnaseek stepped forward, his wings flaring out menacingly. "You're making a big mistake, devil."

Issey stood her ground, her eyes never leaving Kalawarna's. "I'm not leaving without Asia. If you want to stop me, then bring it on."

Mittelt, still holding Asia, looked between Kalawarna and Dohnaseek. "Are we really going to fight over this girl?"

Kalawarna's gaze remained locked on Issey. "This isn't just about the girl. It's about making sure we don't become targets. We take her, and we deal with this devil."

Issey's expression didn't wave. "I'm not letting you hurt her. Prepare yourself."

Kalawarna launched herself forward, her hand crackling with holy energy. Issey raised her gauntlet, deflecting the attack with a burst of red light.

The clash of their powers sent shockwaves through the room, rattling the walls and furniture.

Dohnaseek moved to flank Issey, but she anticipated his move and tried sidestepping and countering, but her body didn't follow her mind, and just as the holy sword was about to hit Issey, her shadow expanded and a pinch black sword blocked the incoming attack.

A cold, powerful voice echoed through the room. "Those who point their swords against the bride of the Supreme Being shall face my wrath. For I am the sword of Supreme Being."
