章 12: Church raid

Before Alex reached the doors of the church, he dispelled the gravity magic on his arms and legs. He marveled at how light he felt for the first time in years. He tested his new unrestricted strength, by smashing in the doors. Of course the only one present was Freed, the white haired lunatic was surprised Alex appeared, and started laughing.

"So you walked right in here for us to deal with personally? How kind of you to make our job-" that was as far as he got, due to Alex using his speed and sinking his fist in Freeds stomach. Freed started coughing blood, before he got launched through the back wall. Alex didn't even bother looking to see if he survived. He then activated his scales to prevent Asia from recognizing him, and tore apart the alter to reach the basement where the ritual was ongoing, and headed downstairs. When he got there he saw Asia chained to a cross, and quite a few enemies between him and her. Raynare was there of course, and she only looked slightly surprised to see him.

"As I thought, there was more to you than there seemed. But you're too late, I will take this girls power and you won't-" once again his opponent wasn't able to finish, due to him using his speed to pass all the people she had instantly and sinking his fist into her gut. She crashed into the back wall, but unlike Freed who still went flying, she only formed a crater in it due to being under ground. All the priests then open fired on him with their modified guns, and the other three fallen angels created spears of light to throw at him.

He wondered if they were aware that light based weapons were best to use on him, or if they were simply all the priests had. Alex didn't bother worrying about the bullets due to his scales, but he caught the spears of light as they were about to hit him. When he caught them, smoke started rising from his hands indicating the light damage. It wasn't lost on all the priests and fallen angels, so Alex decided 'what the hell, they're all about to die anyways.' He spread his Devils wings and created magic circles around the entire room. Everyone present was forced to their knees as the gravity pushed them down.

"How's the ten times regular gravity?" They all struggled to stand while he spoke, and Raynare called out behind him,

"You're a devil? One of those disgusting beings?" Alex didn't say anything, and simply walked over to her. She tried to crawl forward, but found it impossible due to both the damage she took and the increased gravity. He stepped behind her, grabbed her wings and pulled.

"KYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" she screamed bloody murder in the basement, as he ripped off both of her wings. Alex then collected a feather, and approached the other three fallen angels to do the same. Storing them away, he finally approached the cross that had Asia. She had a single magic circle above her head to protect her from the effects of the gravity.

She seemed to have passed out, but he made sure that she still had her sacred gear. After collecting her, Alex used his magic to make a hole in the ceiling up to the church. He used his Devils wings to fly up, and looked down the hole.

<BOOST, TRANSFER!>

He opened his mouth and blew out a sea of flames down the hole into the basement below. His flames had powered up so much to this point that even the rock melted as the under ground was turned into a sea of flames. He flew to the front of the church, and placed Asia down on the grass. At this moment he noticed the presence of four Devils coming, and knew it was Rias and the others. Alex swiftly had his powers suppressed again, and quickly moved away from the clearing.

As Rias arrived at the place they felt the powerful aura at, she saw a church being burned to the ground, and the aura vanished right before they arrived. She walked forward and saw the girl laying in the grass. The girl was dressed in a thin gown, which Rias recognized as a typical ritual attire. It didn't take long for her to put together the clues of what happened here, the only thing she was missing was who destroyed the church and saved the girl?

"Akeno, put out the fire then take her back to the club room and examine her. Kiba, Koneko, search the area and see if you can find who it was that destroyed the church building and the people inside." They quickly moved to follow her orders, but they couldn't find any evidence. After searching for almost an hour they still couldn't find anything, and Rias decided to call it a night.

As they were about to leave though, Koneko stopped and started smelling the air. Due to the fire and smoke she wasn't able to get any noticeable scents, but for a brief second she thought she smelt something familiar. It was gone almost instantly though so she dismissed it and left with the others.

Alex was hiding nearby, watching the way things went. Once he saw the other leave, he let out a sigh of relief. He got a little concerned when Koneko seemed to realize something, but she ended up leaving with the others. Alex then checked his status.

When Alex saw his new jobs available his first thought was that he somehow inherited the curse of Vandalieu to mostly get evil sounding jobs. Even his option for apprentice firemage vanished only to be replaced with arsonist. And what was that holy enemy?! He fought enemies of the church, why is he now considered their enemy as well?! Lauren was laughing her ass off, she didn't even try to hide it this time. Ddraig was also snickering at his luck, and took a few minutes to compose himself before saying seriously,

<partner, I think you should accept that arsonist job. Your dragons breath is maxed right? It may help that skill become even more powerful for the future, plus you have the fight with Raiser coming up soon. Mastery over fire would only be a benefit for that kind of fight.> Alex couldn't find any arguments to Ddraig's words, and accepted the arsonist job.

[NOTICE! Magic power increase, new skill fire manipulation added, existing skill dragons breath has evolved to dragon gods breath]
