I stood in the middle of the road, looking at the house in front of me. I can sense multiple energies in the house one is issei's and there are two that I don't know but one of them has holy power but it isn't a fallen angel so it must be a priest of the church. As for the other one, I can sense a sacred gear in that person, but I don't know what their reason for being involved is.
" Great just what I needed issei getting into more trouble. "
Great, now the church is involved in kouh. I despise the church just as much as I do devils, they kill pretty much any supernatural being they consider a heretic in the eyes of their god and since they are just humans the gods of the many pantheons really don't care if priest and exorcist enter their territory as long as they are not angels.
I continue to observe the situation in the house. The preist is now attacking the other sacred gear user, which is what I thought, but now it seems as if he is going to do something vile and disgusting to the other person there as I can see their body movements from watching their energy.
' Yeah, I think it is about time I step in. '
I walk towards the house and stop right at the entrance as there is a barrier in the way it is not a strong barrier at all most likely made by an amateur. the barrier is flimsy and can at most repel a middle-class devil but from what i can tell it was mostly made to hide this house and their actions from the supernatural.
I place my hand on the barrier and send my ki into the barrier basically unweaving the barrier from its roots. In a few seconds, the barrier begins to fade until it completely disappears, and I walk into the house.
I can feel that all the people in the house stopped moving they knew that the barrier was destroyed and kept all eyes on the doorway for whoever was about to enter. I walk through the door and see issei crawling on the floor over to a priest that had a nun that was naked from having her clothes ripped pinned against the wall as the priest had his hand on the nun's bare tits as the nun had tears streaming down her face as she looked toward me.
' Yep, I'm going to kill that priest. ' I thought to myself as I looked over the scene that was currently happing Infront of me in disgust.
They all look towards me. issei seems relived while the priest seemed mad or happy at my arrival? I really couldn't tell by the face of the priest he seemed like some kind of deranged idiot.
" Hikari, you're here. " Issei says now with happiness in his voice despite the pain he is feeling.
The priest looks at me before quickly looking back at issei. " So, you know this person, then she must obviously be a sinner meant to be chopped up by little old me huh. " He says in an ecstatic crazed voice. He pulls his sword out from the wall that was holding the nun in place. She drops to the ground, and the priest licks the blade before he points his sword at me.
" Hello there, sinner. I should introduce myself. My name is-" freed gets ready to bow.
" Don't care, don't give a shit just die. " I say bluntly as I hold up the palm of my hand towards him and fire a blast of ki at the priest blowing him up and a good portion of the room as the priest was blown out of the room from the explosion. The walls are destroyed, and the body of the priest could be seen lying on the ground outside burnt and just barley holding on from his appearance as the majority of his front body was covered in massive burns.
The nun and issei have a shocked look on their faces as they just witnessed me easily dealing with the priest. I turn to look at issei who is still immobilized on the floor from the gunshot wounds in his legs that he received from the priest. " Are you going to keep crawling on the floor or stand up. " I say to him.
He nods his head and begins to stand up with a lot of struggling using the wall as support as he finds his balance. " Thank you, Hikari, for saving me and Asia, ouch. " He says as he clutches the wound on his knee from pain.
" Issei are you alright, I'll heal you right now. " The nun now known as Asia hastily goes over to issei and starts to heal him as she has a worried expression on her face. Issei is enveloped in a green light as his wounds heal at a fast pace.
' So that is the nun that mittlet told me about, huh? ' I watch as she heals issei's wounds at a fast pace. So that is the sacred gear that raynare wants twilight healing it is supposed to be capable of healing all supernatural beings. I can see why they would want it. It would be very useful, but in the hands of someone as weak as raynare, it really isn't worth risking your life for.
Once the nun was done healing Issei, she stood up and bowed to me. " Thank you so much for your help. " Asia says expressing her gratitude to me.
" I really only did it because it would cause me trouble if issei died. " I say to her, trying to brush her off.
" It doesn't matter Hikari, I can't thank you en-. Issei stopped speaking as the gremory circle appeared behind issei and Asia and out steps rias and her peerage.
" Issei are you all right we came as soon as we felt you were in danger. " Rias speaks to him in a worried tone but relaxes as she sees that he is fine. She looks around the room, and not seeing anyone else her eyes land on me with a slight glare.
" Hikari, would you like to explain? " She says to me.
Oh yeah, no, thanks for saving your servant, I guess. I point at the collapsed wall where the priest lay outside. " I was saving your servant from an exorcist, your welcome."
Her and her group looked at where I was pointing. " What exorcist? there is nobody there. " Rias turns to look back at me. " Hikari, you do know lying isn't going to do you any good. " she looks at me with eyes of disapproval.
I turn and look and see that the priest that was laying there is no longer there.
' When did he leave? No, he shouldn't have been able to move in the first place.' I turn to look back at rias. " I am not lying There was a priest here and attacked your servant you can ask issei. "
issei nods his head at my words and looks at rias. " she's not lying rias there really was a priest and if not for her I would have died. " Said issei, trying to explain to rias what happened once he was done explaining she nodded her head in understanding.
" I see I'm sorry...Thanks for saving issei. " Said rias in a low voice, not looking directly at me.
Kiba steps forwards. " You have thanks as well Hikari. If you hadn't stepped in, I fear the worst may have happened. "
* sigh * Akeno also speaks up. " I'm grateful to you too as well Hikari. " Akeno said not necessarily as genuine as Kiba's was but more so out of formality.
Well, as long the situation is understood, I guess it is fine. I'm just ready to go home. I already spent too much time with these idiots. I was planning on watching the last season of the anime I was watching, but now that won't be happening.
I go alert as I sense 4 fallen angels and multiple exorcists heading straight for us.
Koneko seemed to sense the fallen pretty soon after I did and warned rias. " Fallen. "
Akeno and rias seemed to sense the fallen angels as she ordered for her peerage to gather together to teleport. every one of them gather within the gremory circle except for issei and Asia.
If they are sending their full force, I guess the nun really is important to them.
"Wait, what about Asia? we can't just leave her. " Issei speaks in a loud voice worried about leaving Asia. Rias places a hand on his shoulder, pulling him into the teleportation circle.
" Leave her issei she is a nun of the church and besides I can only take people who are a part of my family. " Says rias sternly stomping down any hope he had about saving Asia.
Just before he was teleported away, he yelled at me, asking me to save Asia. " HIKARI PLEASE HELP ASI- is all he managed to say before they left.
* sigh * ' great just what I needed more trouble to be left with. '
I shrug my shoulders as I look at the nun who now is now afraid at the mention of the fallen angels on their way. Asia is probably aware that the fallen are coming for her specifically. I walk over to the dead body on the floor and take the blood-stained shirt off the dead body and walk over to Asia who is pretty much wearing nothing as the exorcist ripped her clothes off leaving them in tatters.
" Here, wear this it is better than what you have on right now. " I say as I look at her as her small chest is bare for all to see, and her robe is tatters revealing the rest of her body. She takes a step back as she looks at the shirt in my hands.
" y-y-you w-want me to wear that. " She speaks with a nervous voice.
" Or don't I don't care? I've had a bad day and just want to go home. " I drop the shirt on the floor and walk out of the room heading for the front door.
" w-wait, don't leave me, please. " Asia catches up with me following behind me as I walk out of the house.
As soon as I walk out of the house, I am greeted by at least 20 stray priest and four fallen angels. Mittlet is the farthest to the right, and next to her is donaseek, then raynare, and the last is a blue haired woman that I do not know. I confidently look over the group not intimidated in the slightest. The same can not be said for Asia as she grabs my arm and hides behind me in fear.
" So, your raynare about time we meet face to face. " It is obvious she is looking down on me by that smug look on her face but is still wary of me.
" Human hand over that nun over to us or we will take her by force. " She glares at Asia. I look over the group, and my eyes land on mittlet as she has a concerned look on her face. i look behind my shoulder and look at Asia who has tears in her eyes as she looks up at me.
" I-i d-don't want to go with them Hikari, please, please. " Asia begs me to help her.
I pull my hand free from Asia's grasp and start to walk away down the street. " Do what you want with her she isn't my concern. " I say nonchalantly.
*snap* the sound of a finger snapping could be heard along with feet moving to surround me in all directions. As I was walking away, I was surrounded by the stray priest that came here along the fallen.
" raynare, what are you doing? we got what we came here for, let's leave. " Said mittlet in an annoyed tone to raynare for her rash actions. I look back at the fallen, donaseek and Asia are missing, so I guess he took her back to the church.
' So, this was the human that managed to fight against donaseek huh. ' raynare thought to herself as she looks at Hikari who is calm despite being surrounded. ' it would be good to go ahead and eliminate any potential threats before we start the ritual. '
" Sorry human but we just need to tie up some loose ends to be thorough hard feelings. " raynare says with a malicious smile on her face as she snaped her fingers. The priest all charged at me with blades drawn.
" That's fine. " Is all I said as I run my hand calmly through my hair. The priests all close in on me with their holy blades drawn and ready as they get near, they swing their swords at me. Right before their blades hit me, a searing hot flame bursts forth from my body, going out in all directions engulfing the stray priests in a fire, burning them into nothing more than ashes in a few seconds not even giving them a chance to scream in pain. The fallen angels stare in shock as the priests have been reduced to ashes.
raynare-pov
They all stare at the fire that has yet to die down. ' w-who is this person? donaseek said she was just a normal human stronger than the average. ' raynare thought back to the night donaseek returned back to the church injured and wounded, he said he encountered rias and her peerage and another a human girl. " Tch damn that donaseek. "
"What just happened? Who is that person mittlet. " raynare says in a commanding voice as she glares at mittlet as she is now suspicious of her and her connection to this human. Raynare wasn't blind to mittlet disappearances as of late, but now she is confirming her suspicions.
Mittlet avoids her gaze as she looks down. " raynare, we really should have left when we had the chance cause now, I won't be able to help you. " She says in a low voice but loud enough that both raynare and kalwarner can hear her.
Kalwarner steps towards mittlet with anger. " What do you mean, what are you hiding, mi- "
Hikari-pov
" mittlet " came a voice from inside the fire they all turned to look as Hikari steps out of the flames.
" You can either leave or watch. " Hikari sounded dead serious as she spoke. She walked up to the group of fallen angels as a bright fire engulfed her right fist.
" Just who do you think you are human. " Said kalwarner as she summoned her spear of light, she dashed, charging Hikari, attempting to cut her down.
Hikari twists her body and watches as the spear of light passes by avoiding the slash from kalwarner as she performs a low kick right after to kalwarner's knee with enough force that her knee bent in the complete opposite direction breaking her leg as kalwarner's body slumps forward
"ARRRRGG- she screams out in pain as she loses her focus, causing her spear of light to dissipate.
Hikari grabs her by her face and shoots out a stream of fire burning her face with intense heat until she dies. She died with muffled screams as she pointlessly struggled in her grip.
Raynare was watching her friend be burned alive right Infront of her, unable to do much as she Is overrun with fear. Hikari tosses kalwarner's lifeless body to the side as it disappears into black feathers.
" w-wait w-w-wait, I'm s-orry please I won't, I won't do something like this to you again I'm s-s-sorry. " raynare got on her knees and begged as tears ran down her face.
Hikari didn't speak. She just walked over to her as her eyes burned a bright orange. The closer she got, the more raynare felt her power it became so intense that she felt like an ant being crushed under an immense weight. Raynare fully understood the gap in their power now it was clear-cut that this person in front of her is capable of challenging some of the strongest beings in the supernatural. She would put Hikari on the same level as kokabiel in terms of power if she had to guess.
' I wonder should I spare her or just remove the fallen entirely from here myself. ' I look down at the leader of the fallen here in kouh who is currently begging for her life.' Yeah, let's just go ahead and get rid of the nuisance. ' I put the palm of my hand forward towards raynare just a foot away from her face as fire condensed on the palm of my hand.
" WAIT. " Just as I was about to finish raynare off, mittlet speaks up catching my attention as i turn to my head to her. " Please don't do this, please. " mittelt tried to speak to her normally but there were traces of fear in her voice as she looks at Hikari.
It was easy to tell she was nervous and scared of Hikari as her body lightly trembled in fear." Why, what reason do I have to spare her? " Hikari has not yet removed her arm from raynare's face, still ready to kill her.
Raynare was silent but was looking at mittlet with hope in her eyes, hoping for a chance to escape her predicament." s- s-she could be useful to you. F-for the devils, you don't like them, right? " mittlet spoke at a fast pace as fear was now evident in her voice as she looked at Hikari.
" I guess you might be right mittlet she could still be of some use. " It isn't a lie to say Amaterasu is dissatisfied with their performance so far as I have watched nearly every action they took and reported it to her. If I can show proof that she isn't even capable of dealing with some low ranking fallen, she just might have the title of ruler removed and be sent back to the underworld.
The flame on my palm disappears, causing raynare to sigh in relief. I crouch down and stare at her in her eyes." Listen to me, raynare, you are being spared ... for now. "
" Y-yes," raynare nods her head.
" Good, glad you understand. Now here is what I want you to do. "
