Chapter 32

[Notice]

[Asia Argento has entered Kouh Town.]

Alastor's eyes glinted with satisfaction as he registered the notification. "Oh, sweet," he muttered under his breath, a smile curling on his lips. This was exactly the development he had been waiting for. The pieces were starting to fall into place, and he couldn't waste a moment.

Turning back to the others, Alastor quickly decided on his course of action. "Akeno, Rias, I have to go. I just remembered something important that I need to take care of." His voice was calm but urgent, making it clear he wasn't in the mood for questions.

Rias raised an eyebrow, noticing the sudden change in his demeanor. "What's going on, Alastor? Is everything okay?" She could sense the shift in his energy—something important was definitely on his mind.

Alastor nodded, keeping his expression neutral to avoid raising any unnecessary suspension. "Yeah, everything's fine. Just some unfinished business I need to handle. Nothing for you to worry about."

Akeno, standing beside Rias, looked curious but didn't press further. She knew Alastor well enough to recognize when he was serious about something. "Do you need any help?" she offered, always willing to lend a hand.

"No," Alastor replied, shaking his head. "This is something I need to do alone. I think it's best if you and Rias stay here and focus on finding your training."

Rias frowned slightly but eventually nodded, trusting Alastor's judgment. "Alright, but be careful about whatever you are going are doing."

"I always am," Alastor said with a smirk, his usual confidence shining through. With a final nod to the two of them, he turned and headed for the door, his mind already racing with thoughts of his next move.

As he stepped outside, the cool morning air greeted him, and he took a deep breath, centring himself. Asia Argento's arrival in Kouh Town was a pivotal moment for his peers, even though there are only two of them.

Her Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing, was a unique ability that could prove invaluable as Alastor is a Devil, there is not much he can use to heal himself. Of course, there are Phoenix tears but he couldn't get it unless he asked for Serefall or Sirzechs. 

There is also another way, which is to steal the sacred gear like, how he steals boosted gear from Issei but there is a problem, you see, Alastor can't equip sacred gear endlessly.

According to [Great Sage] currently, he can only possess two sacred gear of Longinus class.

•••

The Longinus also known as Tools that Destroy God, are the thirteen original top-tier Sacred Gears with enough power to kill Gods, as well as five additional Sacred Gears that evolved to the same level. 

Longinus is also known as the Embodiments of God's Destruction, the Divine Destruction Tools and the Supreme Sacred Gears.

Currently, there are 13 Longinus, True Longinus, Zenith Tempest, Annihilation Maker, Dimension Lost, Boosted Gear, Divine Dividing, Regulus Nemea, Canis Lykaon, Sephiroth Graal, Incinerate Anthem, Absolute Demise, Innovate Clear, Telos Karma.

•••

Alastor has already equipped one of Longinus and he has already have an idea of which sacred gear he should equip next. So he can't take Asia's sacred gear.

And next Important reason is, in his previous life along with Sona and Rias, Asia was his favourite character. So he is not going to lose her.

•••

Alastor moved swiftly, navigating the streets with a purpose. His senses were heightened, alert for any signs of danger or potential threats. He knew that Raynare and her group were likely watching Asia closely.

As he rounded a corner, Alastor paused, glancing around to ensure he wasn't being followed. Satisfied that the coast was clear, he continued on, his pace quickening. He is going to do the same thing Issei did in the anime as it's easy.

And he wasn't much found of the idea of letting fallen angels kill her to make her join his peerage but [Great Sage] has told him that it is the easiest way to make Asia his peerage.

Finally, Alastor arrived at the edge of the town, where he had sensed Asia's presence. He spotted her almost immediately—a small, delicate figure with long blonde hair, looking around with wide, curious eyes. She seemed nervous, clutching a small bag tightly to her chest, clearly unaware of the danger she was in.

Asia has a long blonde hair cascaded down her back, framing her face like a golden halo. Her vibrant green eyes sparkled with innocence and curiosity, giving her an ethereal charm.

She was dressed in a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, complete with a white veil adorned with similar hues. A brown satchel hung from her hip, presumably carrying her Bible, while her feet were clad in sturdy brown boots with black straps. A silver cross necklace adorned her neck, adding a touch of religious symbolism to her attire.

As if god sent him a helping hand, Asia fell down on the ground. 

She is spreading her arms wide open and has her face on the ground. That certainly is a clumsy way of falling down.

"Are you okay?" Alastor approaches the clumsy Sister and gives her a hand so she can stand up.

"Auu. Why do I keep on tripping over... Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much~." Alastor takes her hand to lift her up.
