Life 3. The Assault on the church

Part 1

'Buchou.." I said slowly towards the magical circle that connected me to Buchou directly "I'm going to the church"

From the other side of the communication circle, I could hear Buchou sighing "You're going to save that sister aren't you?" her words surprised me, after all, Buchou never meet Asia before.

"How do you know about her Buchou? You haven't met her before"

"I...It would be impolite if I lied to you at this moment isn't it Ise…but to answer your question...I was watching the scene this dusk" She admitted, her tone fill with guilt.

Hearing her admission, I smiled, to think Buchou is this innocent "You're gonna be a good friend to her Buchou"

"In any rate….I'm going to the church...See ya tomorrow Buchou" I finished and with a snap of a finger, closed the communication circle, I heard Buchou saying me to wait but it was too late, now there are no turning back.

Part 2

I walked upwards in the mountain trail that led to the church, in the distance, I sense three people looking at me, their appearance shrouded in the darkness.

"Ara-Ara, So this is who's trying to become a hero" I heard in the distance as I'm finally close enough to see the appearance of three people

The person who just spoke is a tall buxom woman with blue hair that is styled on a ponytail her attire consists of a red marron top that shows off her wondrous cleavage, her eyes are cold and in her hand, a spear of light ready to be used.

"Mou...Why are we even standing guard here" the other female said, she's a petite young woman wearing a gothic loli attire, complete with all the accessories a maid has, even her hair is styled on a double ponytail

"Stop complaining Kalawarna, Mittlet, let's kill this guy," The last and the only person I know, Dohnaseek said as he walked towards me, killer intent practically leaking from his body as he materializes a spear of light.

I felt my hands clenched into a fist, my heart began to beat faster and faster, my eyes began to focus on the three targets in front of me "Thank god you're a rogue fallen angel" I mutter as I smiled

"Because that means, even if you're dead, he won't be coming" I coldly declared as I dashed towards Dohnaseek first using Shundo[1] and stopped in front of him, my arms only an inch from his chest

"Go to sleep already old man" My one-inch punch struck deep into his chest as a crack sound reverberated in the area, sending him flying backwards, he coughed up blood, no wonder, that strike at the very least must have cracked his sternum, there's no way he can continue fighting in that state.

The other two, Kalawarner and Mittlet (though I don't know which is which) looked at what just happened with shock and widened eyes, it only lasts for a moment though, as the gothic lolita charged at me, screaming all the while

"YOU BASTARD!" A light spear appeared on her hand as she charged at me, ignoring the tall women shouting for her to stop

"Too slow, too predictable," I said as I lowered my body, ready to meet the charge, She came slashing downwards towards me, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Inhaling a breath and holding it there, I moved right in front of her, dodging the strike, "Stay put little girl" I muttered loudly before jabbing her throat, she widened her eyes, shock from the pain must have surprised her as she went limp.

The last person, the tall girl, gritted her teeth before materializing several spears of light and throwing it at me, releasing the breath I have been holding, I dashed at her using shundo once more.

Surprisingly, The girl managed to read it as she flew backwards with the help of her wings, she grinned at me maliciously as she throws another spear at me

"Too naive," I thought as I used shundo once more and landing on top of her before landing an axe kick directed at her chest.

The resulting sound of my feet versus her chest was not pretty, she coughed up blood and laid there on the crater my feet had made from the impact, standing over her, I see the three of them breathing, barely, but breathing nonetheless.

Turning my over the door, I opened it and came face to face with the stray exorcist in the altar, their weapons drawn and their eyes set on me

"Before we get started...Does anybody want to repent" I declared coldly as I walked towards them, their eyes reflected a plethora of emotions that I couldn't care less about it, and finally, they charged at me.

"One," I thought as the first person who dashed at me came down slicing his weapons downward, with a jab to the person's throat, he went down

"Two and three" I counted as two-person came charging at me together, the first person slashed my chest while the other person shot at me, With ease, I jumped backwards while tilting my head in order to evade both of the attacks

As I dashed towards them, I lariat the person who tried to slash me, making the person flown backwards and hitting several exorcists, the person in the back who looked at the spectacle has fear in his eyes and began stumbling backwards

"DIEEE!" They roar together at me once more, the murder in their eyes didn't subside and even increased.

I sighed, "Ddraig...Care to join the party" As I gathered strength in my left hand, letting the pulsing power of the Boosted Gear appear and was about to call it when the appearance of two figures interrupted me, one is masculine while the other has the appearance of a petite person appeared from behind me and began engaging the exorcist.

I was stunned, to say the least, since the two figures were those of Koneko-chan and Kiba, my eyes must have transmitted my confusion as Kiba chuckled

"As a member of occult research club, it's natural to help each other you know," he said with a refreshing smile,, "Besides, Koneko-Chan here is worried for you" he sent a glance at Koneko-chan who simply ignored the remarks and began to punch the exorcist that came to he way

"Go one forward Ise-Kun, me and Koneko gonna handle this area," Kiba said as he eyed a trap door near the altar, I felt happiness swell from my heart, yeah, it's been a while since I felt this feeling

I dashed through the numerous exorcist, nimbly dodging each and every single one of them with ease using Shudo and went down the trap door as I looked backwards, I see Koneko-Chan and Kiba sending me off with a smile.

As I reached the end of the stairs that lead to an underground area, I saw that pathetic excuse of an exorcist Freed as well as Asia that is tied into a cross at the end of the room.

I clenched my teeth hardly as if it's about to break, and was about to dash when a gun-shot from Freed pistol stopped me in my track

"Woah Woah! Devil-Kun! We meet again you bastard, you remember me? You remember me right? I'm the greatest" Freed began monologing but I didn't care, "shut up" I muttered lowly as I grabbed his head using the speed of Shukuchi[2] and crashed his body to the ground.

As I looked at Freed who's already unconscious from that single attack, I began to dash towards Asia, looking at her once more, I sense she's alive, barely but alive nonetheless.I untied the things on her hands and legs, and hold her in my arms.

"…I-Ise-san…"

"Asia, I came to take you back."

"…Yes."

Her voice is very small when she replied, and it didn't sound lively.

She should still be fine, right? She won't…

"Well Well Well...You filthy human actually managed to reach this chamber huh" A voice I know all too well reached my ears, looking to my behind, Raynare sat on the chair with a smirk plastered on her face and a ring on her left ring finger

"Raynare...What did you do to her" I said as I stood up after placing Asia down, I looked at Asia with worry, what happened? What kind of ritual happened here? Those thoughts circulate in my head

"Possessors whose Sacred Gear is taken away from their body will die. That girl is going to die." The words of Raynare made everything clicked, that's what happening here, she wanted to take Asia sacred gear for herself

"Neee Raynare…." the words that left from my mouth is cold and low, it contained nothing of the rage that I currently possess, my hand that was trembling from rage earlier is calmed down now.

"Do you fear death" Was my last words as I grabbed Raynare neck and lifted her head in a single motion, my eyes matched her own surprised one, "Tell me" I said as I pressed my thumb into her throat as blood began to drip from my thumb,

" " She said as a light spear formed from her left hand and she tried to stab me with it, in response, I caught her left arm with my free arm and twisted it, the disgusting sounds of bone being dislocated couldn't be a mistake for anything else.

"ARGHAH" She screamed as tears began rolling down her cheek, a warm green aura appeared from the rings of her left hand, seeing the ring, I instantly knew what it was

"You don't deserve this" I throw her to the side as I took the rings, as she rolled pathetically, snot and tears ruin her face as she looked at me in fear, no words formed from her mouth, only a weak whimper as warm liquid flow from her bottom, ah….those expressions...Haven't seen those in a while

"Di-"

"Wait!" I was about to punch Raynare in the face with enough force to kill her when a warm voice reached my ears.

I looked at the source, there, Asia looked at me pleadingly with tears, "Ise-San...Please don't kill anybody" she said as her mouth turned upwards and a kind smile is plastered on her face

I looked at her, my heart tightened, I looked at my hands, and turned my gaze at Raynare once more, she didn't understand what was happening, her face says so, she just continued to look at me in fear, no longer it hold any pride, no longer does it contain hatred and maliciousness, it was the simple face of on who looked fearful for her life.

My head hurt, my right hand began to tremble once more, I looked at my right hand, the hand where she laid dormant. I could sense it even now, she wanted nothing more than destruction, she wanted me to kill Raynare now and then took revenge on Grigori, she wanted me to realize her dream and bring apocalypse to this forsaken world.

"Go…" I was surprised by how even my voice is. My word seemed to not have registered on Raynare though as she didn't stand up, she only stared at me in disbelief

"I give you thirty seconds to leave this area, do so and never appeared before me."

Raynare seemed to have awoken from her daze as slowly, she stood up, she looked at her left hands that were broken and dislocated and looked at me once more, those fear returned to her as she began to escape, fear never leaving her eyes.

As she escaped, Ddraig told me that the three fallen angels outside have been transported as well as their mana presence was gone.

I sighed as I sat beside Asia as she holds her hand, even now, I sense the warmth in her hand, it felt comforting. I know that she passed on, the warmth that I felt right now is nothing more than heat leaving her from her body.

"So you're here Ise" The voice of Buchou reverberated across the room, I can sense her attention are all focused on me, I didn't care though,

"Yo Buchou...Fancy meeting you here" I said without turning my back towards them, I looked up to the stone ceiling.

"All of the exorcists in the main building has been killed, Freed along with the other fallen angel has teleported somewhere we don't know, is this your doing Ise?" Buchou words aren't the kind tone she used at me before when we first met, it was level and polite, the same tone used when one fake their intention

"Ah...yeah…" I wanted nothing more to just disappear, I wanted nothing more than to be alone, her words cross my mind

-it's impossible for you to be alone...It is in the very nature of dragons to attract attention-

I gritted my teeth, knowing that she...well using it is more correct nevertheless what she said is true, I can't be left alone, sooner or later, I would get involved with this world.

"Is...Is that the sister you wanted to save" Buchou said as she starred at Asia peaceful face, "she looks beautiful" she said as she brushed her cheek, "Is this her sacred gear then?" She turned her attention to the ring that I placed on her chest

"Yeah...A power that can heal even fallen angel and devil...That fallen angel extracted her sacred gear, a normal human wouldn't be able to survive the procedure" I confirmed Buchou suspicion that is clear on his eyes,

"Ise...Do you want her to live?" Buchou words surprised me, I turned around and looked at her eyes, it was filled with warmth and kindness, but more than anything, it was filled with sympathy.

"I..I Do...but...There's nothing I can do" I nodded as I gritted my teeth in order to not let any tear feel off from my eyes.

"I see," Buchou said simply and began taking something from her behind, what she brought up, is a chest piece, crimson in colour, I can sense something weird from inside of it, like it was alive, but that's impossible.

"I'm late in telling you this now but a Devil with a Peerage receives fifteen chess pieces in total, made up of eight [Pawns], two [Knights], two [Bishops], two [Rooks], and one [Queen]. Same as in an actual chess game. I already used one of my [Bishop], but I still have another one left."

Buchou then walks towards Asia while holding the crimson chess piece in her hand.

Buchou places the crimson [Bishop] chess piece on the now-deceased Asia's chest.

"The [Bishop]'s role is to support the other members of the group. This girl's healing power could be useful as a [Bishop]. It never happened before, but I will reincarnate this girl as a Devil."

A crimson demonic power surrounds Buchou's body.

"I order, in my name Rias Gremory. You, Asia Argento. I, resurrect you back to this soil as my servant, and have you reborn as a Devil. You, my [Bishop], be delighted with your new life!"

The crimson chess piece glows and goes inside Asia's body. At the same time, Asia's Sacred Gear goes back inside her body.

Buchou stops her demonic power after confirming that the chess piece and the Sacred Gear went inside Asia's body.

Then Buchou makes a sigh.

I just look at her in a daze.

After a short while, Asia opens her eyes.

"Huh?"

Asia's voice.

The voice that I thought I can never hear again.

Buchou gives me a warm smile.

"I resurrected her because I wanted her power that can even heal a Devil. Fufufu, Ise, thank you for making me realize something important."

Asia raises her upper body. She looks around and finds me.

"…Ise-san?"

I hugged Asia who looks puzzled at my action.

"Let's go home, Asia...This time...Together." I said to her ears, for a moment, she seemed hesitant, but a low "yes" from her made my heart leapt in joy as she also recuperates my hug.

---

New life. The beginning of their life.

"I'm here Buchou," I said as I walked into the occult classroom, it was the following day after the incident, I was called here by Buchou so here I am.

"Good morning"

"Morning"

Buchou was standing there, her backs turned on me as she was staring outside, being honest, it was awkward just standing there at the door, so I took a seat on one of the couch while staring at Buchou.

"Ano Buchou...Thank you" Yeah, this is the right thing to do, I still haven't given my gratitude after all, and it feels wrong to just not do it.

Buchou turned around and stared at me, her smile is as beautiful as ever "I told you last night didn't I? You don't have to worry about it"

"Stil...It feels wrong to be indebted to you Buchou" I said as I averted my gaze, somehow, it feels shameful to look at her.

From the corner of my eyes, I see Buchou shook her head, her smile never vanishing from her face "You don't have to, though it does feel nice to have you as a protector" buchou said the last part with genuine joy.

"Thank you for being here Ise...This is a reward" Buchou said that as she walks closer to me, for my part, I was stunned, my body just froze up, is this happening? Is this really happening? Is my popular phase are truly coming?

As all sorts of though entered and left my body, I felt a warm sensation in my forehead, when I returned from my daze, I saw Buchou who has kissed my forehead.

I was stunned, to say the least, I can't even conjure up a word.

"That's a good luck charm...Please do keep me safe...Sekiryuutei" buchou said the last part with genuine, I felt that was less of a statement and more of a request.

"That's all for today, after all, If I go overboard, the new members will be jealous," Buchou said as she stared at a presence behind me, I noticed it already but it still was a surprise to see Asia there.

"I-Ise-san…?"

Voice came from behind me. I have heard this voice before.

When I turned around, the blond girl, Asia, is trying to smile.

"A-Asia?"

Eh? Is she mad?

W-Why?

"It has to be… R-Rias-buchou is very beautiful, so even Ise-san will also like her… No, no. I can't think like that! Oh, lord. Please forgive my sinful heart."

Asia made a prayer but she then screams "Auu".

"I have a headache."

"Of course. If a Devil makes a prayer to God, of course you will receive damage."

Buchou says that normally.

"Uu, that's right. I turned into a Devil. I can't face God any more."

Asia seems a bit troubled. Asia, please don't make a sad face like that.

"Do you regret it?"

Buchou asks Asia.

Asia shakes her head.

"No, thank you very much. No matter what situation I am in, I'm happy as long as I am with Ise-san."

I felt my face burning, no doubt if I see myself in the mirror, my face will be blushing just about now, I just can't help it alright, this is the first time I've ever encountered this type of situation

[Techinically speaking, that girl also said the same thing to you] Ddraig retort my statement

"That's a rhetorical statement, you're not supposed to retort it," I said annoyingly at Ddraig who only shrugged before a snore made it known that he's sleeping.

Then I realised the change in Asia. Why didn't I realise it until now?

"Asia, that uniform…"

Yes, Asia is wearing the school uniform of our school. Kuoh Academy's girl uniform.

"D-Does it suits me…?"

She asks me shyly.

Another Angel has descended to our school! I can already hear the guys in our school talking about it.

"It's the best! Let's take a photo with only the 2 of us."

"Eh, y-yes."

She was troubled with how to react, but it's true that she looks cute in it. Aaah, my school life is becoming glorious!

"I decided to make Asia attend our school. Since she is about the same age as you, she's also in her 2nd year. I also made her in the same class as you. Today will be her first day, so make sure to look after her."

Buchou says that to me.

Are you serious!? My class!? Asia will be in my class!?

"I will be in your care, Ise-san."

Asia bows her head.

I start to imagine introducing Asia to Matsuda and Motohama already. I can't stop laughing, thinking about how jealous they would get.

"Yeah. I will introduce you to two of my pals."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Fufufu, Matsuda and Motohama, looks like I'm getting closer to becoming an adult. You better catch up or I'm leaving you behind

While I was imagining that, Kiba, Koneko-chan and Akeno-san enter the room.

"Good morning, Buchou, Ise-Kun, Asia-san."

"…Good morning, Buchou, Ise-Senpai, Asia-senpai."

"How are you all doing, Buchou, Ise-Kun, Asia-chan."

After everyone greeted us, Buchou who's sitting on her chair stood up and clapped her hands, drawing our attention to her

"Since everyone is here, shall we start the party?"

Saying that Buchou clicks her fingers.

Then, a big cake appears on the table. Wow, is this also demonic power as well?

Extra life. Stories after School activities

Rias Side

"Sona...I've come," Rias said as she walked forward and saw the Student council room, unlike the usual, however, it wasn't crowded, on the room, there are only two people in it, Sona Sitri, Rias childhood friend and the students 'council president and Tsubaki, her queen as well as the vice president.

"So I've seen," Sona said as she observed her, signalling Rias to sit on one of the couches present in the room. Rias was swiftly served tea by Tsubaki.

"Have you looked into him?" Rias asked and was answered with a nod by Sona, she brought up numerous papers and reports and handed them to Rias.

"Thank you, Sona, you're the best" Rias smiled as she opened the topmost file and looked at the title "Hyoudou Issei" "Any abnormalities you found Sona?" Rias asks as she closes the file after confirming its content.

"Not a whole lot, though I do suspect that he awakened his sacred gears in his childhood years" Sona sighed as she remembered the enigma that is Hyoudou Issei. "When he was seven years old, he was separated from his childhood friend, a girl named Rin, and then, a week later, he was invited to join this" Sona said as she made the flier and give it to Rias

In the flier, or a brochure, it was an advertisement for a school Rias has never heard of, the school name is "Parabellum school for the gifted" and it detailed the numerous prestige, facilities and other things that it offers.

"Suspicious... I've never heard of this school before," Rias said as she rests her hand on her chin, inwardly, she went through the schools her parents told her about when she told them she wanted to join the human school and yet none of them told her about this school

"Is there any information about this school Sona?"

Sona sighed as she already knew Rias gonna ask that question, "Not much Rias...Only that it is in Europe, it has a low number of students and that it is an escalator school. that's about it"

"Hmm...peculiar...For the Red Dragon Emperor himself to be here," Rias said as she stroke her chin, trying to decipher who or what Issei truly is.

Oh she knew the basic of course, Ise already told her about it, he's the Red Dragon Emperor, though he's already, for all intent and purposes, retired, he awakened it at childhood and that he's familiar with it.

"Any information regarding Ise lineage? Special family members or the like?"

"Ise? I didn't know you're close to him Rias" Sona throw a questioning glance which is shared by Tsuna as well

Rias felt a warm sensation in her cheek, it will be lying if she said that Ise isn't cute, he's also the kindest person he ever meets, to say that Ise is not attractive will be lying "It-It's nothing lie that you idiot" Rias said with a flustered face as she diverted her glance from Sona amused one.

"Hmm...Alright alright..anyway...Hyoudou Issei itself is basically a normal human if you discount the last year, he was in that parabellum school from when he was seven years old all the way until middle school graduation, when asked about his reasoning, Hyoudou said that he missed his parents.

Speaking of which, his lineage is a normal one, his mother is a descendant of a minor samurai, but that was two hundred years ago, his father meanwhile, is a descendant of a merchant"

"Last year, Hyoudou Issei enrolled into Kuoh and quickly befriended Matsuda and Motohama, quickly forming friendship due to their perverted tendencies which earned them the nicknamed "Perverted trio", Hyoudou Issei made a scene last year when he came up and join all the sports or martial art club, beat their ace and then quit the club after that," Sona said the last part with irritation, how could he not? She had to clean up the mess after that since, after the incident, all the club asked Sona to make Issei join their respective club which he declined.

He knew the reasoning, of course, Hyoudou Issei was basically being underestimated and in a certain sense, getting talked behind his back, Sona suspect, no, Sona knew it's because of his mediocrity, Issei is, after all, only have just a bit than higher average grade, he never joined a club and basically was hated by the entire female population.

The last year ultimatum, given to him by the previous student council president (which until now Sona don't know what's the purpose of it) was basically in short "prove your worth, or get expelled" and prove his worth he did, Sona remembers the next week after he did his challenge all of the clubs basically demanded him to join their respective club, his answer is no, though he does sometimes help clubs.

"And that's it" Sona sighed as she finished her explanation, her mind wandered, she would be lying if she said that she has no interest in Hyoudou Issei, she already finds out about him when he first enrolled and even was tempted to ask him whether or not he'll be interested in joining her peerage.

"So...Are you going to ask him for help?" Sona wandered the other main subject of today, Sona realized what Rias plan was when she first asked her to investigate one Hyoudou Issei

"Gonna force him to help you? I don't think you can, to be honest"

Rias shook her head, from what she saw last night, Issei is not one to be underestimated, forcing him to help her is basically the same thing that pig is doing to her and she despises it.

"No...I wouldn't do that, though there might not be another way...I have to ask him for help...I'm willing to do anything if it comes up to it" Rias sighed as she said those words

"Rias...Very well, I understand your resolve Rias, don't hesitate and seek my help if you need anything" Sona bit the inside of her cheek, she felt anger at the circumstances of her best friend, she felt useless for unable to help with anything

Rias stood up and made a magic circle which shined, illuminating the room "Thanks Sona, you're the best" Rias smiled towards Sona as she walked into it and disappeared.

Kiba Side

I, Yuuto Kiba, was walking home to my apartment, the same apartment complex as to the junior beside me

"Koneko-Chan...What do you think of Ise-Kun?" I wondered out loud as I looked at her reaction which is still flat as she ate ice cream.

"Strong...Fast…" is all Koneko-Chan in between her eating, I nodded, I have to agree with Koneko-Chan on this one, what Ise-Kun displayed last night is extraordinary, to say the least, especially that speed of his.

My memory of that speed resurfaces and each time, it baffles me, how could someone moves that fast, and be so silent about it, there was no cloud dust, no sounds, and not even an after image, it truly felt like Ise-Kun was teleporting last night.

"What do you mean by strong Koneko-Chan? I didn't saw anything worth mentioning regarding his strength though" I realized that Koneko also said those words, but no matter how much I tried to remember, Ise-Kun didn't display any feat of strength worth mentioning.

"Those fallen angels...was defeated by one hit" Koneko-Chan words left me speechless, and I unintentionally stopped walking, I remember, of course, a cracked sternum, a broken ribcage, and a destroyed vocal chord.

If the victim is a normal human and the assaulter hold a weapon, it could be believed, but this is a Fallen Angel, a race with muscles that are naturally stronger than a normal human, you're telling me, that a human, with only his bare hand and in one hit, injured a fallen angel?

I-I see" I felt sweat running down my back as I realized that Ise-Kun is strong, really strong, I knew it, Koneko-Chan knew it, everybody knew it, But to think that he's actually that strong..it is hard to believe.

"I-It sure is a happy thing that he's on our side" I muttered out loud as a shiver run down my spine, if Ise-Kun was my enemy, could I even defeat him, could I even touch him? I shook my head, Ise-Kun is a friend, to even think of doubting him is a rude thing to do.

Issei Side

Issei stood there in the bathroom, his condition no better than a dying person, on his right hand, numerous cut and injury opened on it, spewing his lifeblood that made the bathroom floor looks like a murder set.

Issei gritted his teeth, to think, just using a tiny bit of his power left his state like this, "Ddraig...How's the seal.." Issei asked slowly, each of his words left him in pain.

[Holding...but weakening, I knew it, partner, it is suicide to not completely seal it, we should have sealed it completely without any leak, so that nothing like this can happen] Ddraig tone are those of a frustrated one,

"No Ddraig...I...I...She has the rights to be free one-day Ddraig...To seal her freedom made me nothing more than a slaver" Issei said steadfastly, even with pain running through his body.

[And you're going to die because of it...Fucking hell partner...You're smarter than this..] Ddraig words basically seethed with anger and frustration at his partner, Issei meanwhile just smiled sardonically.

Suddenly, a dark aura leaked out from Issei right's arm, and a voice, one Issei feared, appeared on his mind

"D...D..Ar...ling"

At that moment, Issei felt a shiver run down his spine, cold sweat littered his body instantly, he felt a presence a hundred time more threatening than anything he has ever faced

"On...e...Day….together…"

And with those two sentences, the aura was gone, Issei releases the breath he didn't know he had been holding, his chest hurt, his breathing is ragged, not long after, Issei lost consciousness in the bathroom, still surrounded by blood.

Afterword

[1] Shundo means instantaneous movement, taken from UQ holder

[2] Shukuci mean lightfoot, taken from Dota 2

And there we go, the last life for this volume, truthfully speaking, I didn't know what's the road to take to get to this point, I've just been writing without any thoughts as to what kind of story I would make.

Anyway, sorry for the short chapter, I revised the action scene two times and even then this one is just passable for me, the first one had a lot more blood and gore, the second is the same but with a lot less speaking and this is the third time, I know you're gonna call me out for making the fallen angel escape, trust me, I thought long and hard about it, and I decided not to kill them off, I don't know what I'll do with them though.

Oh and Also, the Issei extra chapter was directly inspired by Paynis, though the road I took will be different, I tried to foreshadow what Ise hold in his right arm but I don't know how effective it is (or if it's even foreshadowing)

Last thing, sorry for any grammatical error that I will inevitably overlook, sorry for any misconduct or improper word choice that I overlook, Thank you all for reading, And I see you in the next volume
