[Omniscient POV]
If before the trio felt pressure after the declaration of the priest, no known as Ezekiel, the felt terror there knees trembled. Koneko handled it the best thanks to her rook trait, while Kiba struggled to remain standing, Issie however fel to his knee's as terror bloomed in his heart, his life flash before his eyes, he had already died once, the President saved him and hear he was about to die and waste the chance he provided. "no he won't let the second chance he received be wasted, he would defeat the priest and safe Asia". He begins to struggle back to his feet looking like he'd fall over at any second.
A bright green glowed enveloped the gem on his gauntlet as if reacting to his emotions and his gauntlet extended from his wrist to his elbow.
~BOOST~
Issie felt power like never before as new found strength entered his body. He didn't fully understand what happened but he didn't care with this new found power he could beat this shitty price that dared to call him and the rest slave and stop him from getting to Asia.
: We isn't that interesting.
Ezekiel was staring at the gauntlet with slight surprise. His glowing cross shaped pupil trying to decipher it's secrets. Then his gaze left the gauntlet and look Issie in the eye's boring into his soul.
: But then again 10x0 is still 0.
Ezekiel's gaze moved from Issie to Koneko then finally to Kiba.
: You'll be first knight.
The prepared to intercept whatever attack was coming, until the trio realize that Ezekiel's voice came from behind Kiba and what they were starting at was and after image, which promptly dissipated, follow ed by the sound of swords piecing flesh. Koneko and Issie looked down to see if they'd been stabbed. Then they turned to Kiba in time to see him clutching his stomach as blood leeks though his fingers and he fall to his knees and grits his teeth in agony.
:Kiba x 2
They both shout in concern for the injured knight, but that distraction costed them dearly as a family sound came from behind her.
: Next to fall is the rook.
And the familiar sound of blades piecing flesh entered the ears of Koneko, she look down in trepidation as pain soon followed and her knees buckled and fell to one knee as Ezekiel removed the blades and blood splurged out and she pales and falls forward, but puts one hand down to catch herself as the other clutches her wounds.
Ezekiel looks down at her and then at Kiba before fully facing Issie, who has since stilled in shock and horror at the events that took place in a matter of seconds.
: So pawn, its just the two us.
The priest flicks his risks and four of his blades and one two remain one in each hand. Issie steeled himself he has to, otherwise Koneko and Kiba will bleed-out and die and who knows what the priest will do to Asia. He had to either defeat the priest or find a way to escape and tell the president so she back them up with Akeno senpai.
~BOOST~
He felt the family sensation of power wash over him, but also a strain on his body. He has to make his move while he still has this power . Ezekiel crossed the blades over his chest, the cross in his eyes and the halo glow with an ethereal light. The Issie blinked and he was gone and a sensation like someone traced a line across his chest and poked him in his back hit him before the traced line and spot poked burned. Blood spurted out his check and through the new whole in his abdomen. Issie fell over and ... wails
: ahhhhhhhhhh
~RESET~
Tears leeks form Issie's eyes as his gauntlet disappeared and the pained doubled as the strength that was helping him to bear the pain vanished, and left him to stew in his torment. While Issie wailed, Kiba gritted his teeth as his skin became more pale each passing second, a symptom Koneko shared as a few tears filled the corner of her eyes as her skin tried to match her hair.
: Did you know creatures of darkness wether reincarnated or not fear the light.
Ezekiel addressed the fallen trio, as Kiba look a him, with eyes that burned with an uneven mix of fear and hatred, as sentiment that Koneko shared, Though Issie it seems fainted from the pain.
: Light poisoning, like any poison get worse before it gets better.
Ezekiel's weapons had disappeared and the glow in his pupils faded and his glasses returned to his face, though his halo still remained. He was now back in the position he was originally in before the confrontation and his bible was back in hand as he multitasked between it's contents and there conversation as one sided as it was.
: The burning sensation that you feel on your wounds, that seek to erase your very existence from the mortal plain, the very plain "HIS" children reside.
Kiba's vision was becoming blurry and the priest was starting to become the priests. Cold sweet filled his brow and the wounds on his body were beginning to turn black and signs of rot were showing at the edges of the slab wounds, that were visible under his clothes.
: You will soon perish, so perhaps the two of you will provide me with answers, since the pawn has decided sleep during his final hour.
Koneko's arm was trembling to keep her of the group and rot was spreading from her wounds outward to the rest of her body, from what little could be seen.
: Why did you come to safe the nun. Why have you trespassed on "HALLOWED" ground. Perhaps if you answer truthful you torment on the other will be somewhat more bearable.
Kiba's vision swam as though about his vengeance that he had yet to exact and then his body gave out as he coughs up black blood an then falls forward, his fate unknown.
: Just you then Rook.
Koneko was barely hanging on, she could feel the last embers of strength leaving her body as the image of a voluptuous older woman with black hair and golden cat eyes, cat ears and a tail that splits into two. Her vision swims as the embers die out and she collapsed and
: Sister.
Ezekiel gazes up from his bible.
:Hmmm How disappointing.
Then the building shakes and Ezekiel narrowed his eyes as he closes his bible and it vanishes and he signs.
: Can't read in peace.
He takes his glasses off as two new players entered the room. One had red hair and wore a school uniform and the other a red had black hair and wore white and red shinto priest uniform, which caused him to raise his brow. The one with red hair looked at the trio on the floor, possibly dead but definitely dying and a red an black aura covered her body and converged in her hand.
: HOW DARE YOU DO THIS MY SERVANTS.
