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.”
SWIFT. When I thought Kiba went ahead, he has already disappeared. He’s so fast that I can’t see him! GIIN! 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.”
“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.”
“Y-You are also a Sacred Gear possessor! ?”
Sacred Gear! Kiba too!? I mean, darkness-sword looks awesome! Dammit! So good looking ones get a good looking weapon as well!? The Priest’s blade of light is completely devoured by Kiba’s sword, and it can’t maintain its shape after having the lights devoured. Now! This is my chance! I went straight at him! “Sacred Gear! Activate!”
[Boost!!] A sound comes out from the jewel and the power flows into my body. My target is the shitty priest. The priest becomes aware of me. “I’m keeping on telling you! You are annoying!”
He points his gun that is loaded with bullets of light at me. The bullet is shot without making any sound. Here! “Promotion, [Rook]!”
BASHIIN! The bullet of light didn’t pierce through me, and instead returns to nothing. “-! Promotion!? A [Pawn]! ?”
The Priest seems to be in shock. Yeah, I’m a [Pawn]! The [Pawn] who is going to bash you! “The traits of a [Rook]!Unreal defence and-!”
My left fist hit the Priest’s face. That’s what I thought, but I felt something hard on my fist. Even so, I punched as hard as I can! The Priest gets pushed far back! “Ridiculous attack strength.”
I laugh while breathing hard. “That’s for hitting Asia that time. I feel relieved that I hit you once.”
The Priest is on the ground, but gets up slowly and spits his blood onto the ground. His right cheek is swollen. Just that? I promoted to [Rook], but looks like I still don’t have Koneko-chan's attacking power. No, if I look carefully, his handle only sword is smashed up. Did he use that as a shield just before getting punched by me? So that’s the hard thing I felt. He has a fast reaction. “……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 Priest makes a howl. “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 still has it!? How many does he have!? But the three of us, me, Kiba, and Koneko-chan, surround the Priest. The Priest 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 Priest takes out something round and smashes it on to the floor. Instantly, our eyes are blinded with a shining light. Shit! A smoke screen!? When my eyes healed, I looked around but the Priest is gone. Then the Priest’s voice comes from somewhere. “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.”
When my eyes are healed completely, I looked around again, but the Priest has vanished without leaving a trace. ……He escaped. He even left some parting words……
I was thinking about it, and realised that I had no time to waste on him. Kiba, Koneko-chan and I nod at each other and went towards the altar’s hidden stairs. The three of us walk down the staircase under the altar. It looks like the electricity works even in here. With Kiba in front of us, we walk ahead. After the stairs, there is a single passage. Sometimes there are doors in both side of the wall. So this is a basement huh. Koneko-chan points to the far end by saying, “Possibly at the end of this passage…… I can smell that person……”. So Asia is there. Then my spirit pumped up. Wait for me, Asia. I’ll be there soon! When we went further in, a big door appears. “Is that it?”
“Possibly. I’m sure there are groups of Exorcists and Fallen Angels inside. Are you ready?”
Koneko-chan and I nod at Kiba. “Okay. Then we’ll open the door—”
When Kiba and I were about to open the door, the door opens by itself. While making a large noise, the inside of the ritual place becomes visible. “Welcome. Devils.”
The Fallen Angel, Raynare, spoke from the end of the room. The room is full of priests. They all have a sword handle that makes the blade of light in their hands. I looked at the girl who is attached to the cross and shout. “Asiaaa!”
Asia noticed my voice and looks at me. “……Ise-san?”
“Yeah! I’ve come to save you!”
I smile at her and a tear drops from her eye. “It’s a touching reunion, but it’s too late. The ritual is about to finish now.”
The ritual is finished? What does she mean—
Suddenly, Asia’s body starts to glow. “……Aaah, iyaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Asia screams. She looks very painfully. “Asia!”
I tried to reach her, but the priests surround me. “I won’t let you interfere!”
“Damn Devils! I will destroy you!”
“Move! Shitty priests!
