Chapter 78: Irina... Dead? by Harem-Fan

     Xenovia, Irina, Kiba, Issei, Saji, Asia, and Mil-tan all reached the place they noticed the increased Devil and Fallen Angel activity.

     And to their surprise, they saw the blonde former Saintess Queen of Diodora Astaroth, with all 8 of his Pawns. The Queen is talking to the Fallen Angel Mittelt, and the former Exorcist, Freed.

     Freed, despite his crazy nature and bad personality, is the real deal in a fight. His instincts and genetic modifications give him stronger insights and perception for danger. He smiled, looked in the direction of the intruders and said loudly.

     "Man, just when I stop looking for you, I find you Church whores, and Devil sluts, hohohoho, come out and don't hide!"

     In the front, Xenovia holding the sword of Destruction, Kiba with his Holy Eraser, Irina with her sword of Mimic in the form of a Katana, and Mil-tan in his Magical Girl form, holding the large heavy staff, all step forward.

     Issei and Saji both flank and protect Asia behind the front liners. Xenovia speaks first...

     "Ray Gremory, Lord of the territory has given us permission to act, so servants of Diodora Astaroth must stay out of this fight. We are here for Freed Sellzen."

     Diodora's Queen just chuckled at Xenovia, due to her naive thinking, and then said simply.

     "With my King's token, all Pawns promote, fufu. You lot are really stupid, right?"

     And with her command, all 8 Pawns wearing dark cloaks say...

     """"""""Promotion to Queen!""""""""

     Issei who was eyeballing the evil-girls in an appreciative style, felt the power increase and his alert level spiked and he said, while his Twice Critical showed on his left hand.

     [BOOST]

     "Ah, Should I summon Ray now guys, this does not look as good as I thought?!"

     While letting out his own Sacred Gear of Absorption Line, Saji said in all seriousness.

     "Yeah, but I think it will get a bit bad fast... Asia, stay behind me, I will be your guard."

     Mittelt let out her wings and pink light spear and flew up to look down on the interlopers, and she pointed to Xenovia.

     "Come on, I want to fight you and not that atrocious Magical Devil Girl, humph!"

     And with her words, she dived at Xenovia. Then soon, the battle began in earnest. Everyone quickly looked for their target..

     Both Irina and Kiba flanked freed, and started a duel. Issei went invisible...

     Diodora's Queen and the 8 Pawns rushed to Mil-tan, Saji, and Asia. The Queen ordered.

     "Our King wants the nun Asia alive, kill the rest, now divide in two and defeat the Gremory!"

     So 4 Pawns surround Mil-tan and the remaining surround the lone pair of Saji and Asia.

-

     The sword of Destruction came down fiercely on Mittelt's light spear, and she said.

     "This matter should not concern the Fallen, so why fight?"

     With another stab of her light spear, Mittelt says honestly.

     "My leader told me to help Freed, what can I do, so give me your scrap metal toy, and I might let you live, hoho!"

     Xenovia sees an opening, and she lifts her sword high up and says.

     "End all battles decisively in one move with all your might! Sword of Destruction, goooooo!"

     Mittelt waiting for this only sneered, and gestured with her two hands upward, saying.

     "Mirror Alice!"

     And soon, the Destruction and Sacred Gear meet!

-

     Diodora's Queen, hearing about Mil-tan, took him seriously, and started casting her Demonic Bolts at him at every opening, while the four Pawns tried to hit and run on the small black hair Magical girl.

     Mil-tan who has been training hard, even without Queen promotion, is as strong as a High-class-mid strength Queen himself.

     "Asia is my friend, so for justice, take my Magical Blast.. Mountain Eraser ~NYO!"

     BOOOOM! And to the horror of the remaining 3 Pawns, the vanished promoted Pawn, vanished in a 10 foot wide crater, with a pretty magic staff in-bedded in it. The Devil ash from the former holy woman drifted in the shock-wave.

     Mil-tan wiped his forehead and said.

     "Oh, Ray was right, I need only 30% Sparkle Power for weak Pawns, nyo!"

     Diodora's Queen shot a large blast at the still Mil-tan, but...

      Slap! Booom! Mil-tan, like a DBZ warrior, just backhanded the Queen's blast and shattered her Devil Magic like swatting a bug. So Mil-tan says to her.

     "You are really weak prostitutes, so this real-woman will bitch-slap you in the name of Gremory, nyo!"

     Diodora's Queen got frightened seeing an un-promoted Pawn just shrug off her power, and come charging at her, so she in panic raised her shields and screamed to her 3 helpers.

     "Stupids, stop her, I meant him!"

-

     While Saji was kicking and punching at the 3 Promoted Pawns, the last one was trying to grab at Asia.

     Saji was a bit frustrated due to not being able to promote, but his strength is still in the Middle-class-low without it, and on par with the promoted Pawns, but two hands cannot easily beat six hands.

     And as the last Pawn was about to grab Asia, he pointed his Sacred Gear and yelled.

     "Line Go!"

     And a whip-like strand of thick energy lashed out, and wrapped the waist of the Pawn and yanked her to his feet, while taking a few punches and kicks, but this freed up Asia's immediate threat.

     Asia started to put her hands together to use the Ranged Heal on saji, and her green arrow shot into his wounded back, just in the nick of time, bringing him back to full health!

     And as the 4 Pawns are beginning their next round of assault on
Saji, they hear and see a frightening scene!

     Thud Thud Thud! """""""""Roar!""""""""", The 30 foot tall reptile with nine screaming sets of fangs came barrelling into the group! Precious has arrived!

-

     Clang Dang Scrape Shing Clang! Freed, dual-wielding the Excalibur Rapidly and Transparency, is fiercely and skillfully fighting two to one!

     "Oh, oh, you almost got me there~! Hahaha, Aw, that was my coat you cut, it is coming out of my pocket to replace, damn! Hehe!"

     Kiba, frustrated, created a second sword to also add more pressure, while Irina was dancing left and right, avoiding the invisible slashes she could feel coming, and she said to Kiba.

     "Let me hold him off, and you go help Xenovia, and with the 3 of us, we can take him down for our mission completion?"

     "Freed won't let- AHHHH~!" "Ahhh~!"

     Slich Slich! And mid sentence, Freed took their moment of distraction to slice both of their chests, spewing blood from Irina and thick black smoke from Kiba.

     Both Irina, and Kiba backed off and clutched their painful deep cuts. Blood leaked from Irina's fingers, and her fighting ability will be cut in half at least. Freed came close to her and said...

     "Oh Ho~! Looks like I will win, now give me that sword litle girl, huh?! Oh no, is that the Gremory Magic Circle?! I need to leave yesterday!"

     BOOOOOOOOOOM! At that moment, a huge explosion was heard by Xenovia, and the floating incoming Gremory reinforcement Teleportation Circle hails a turn in the battle... A betting man or Devil would guess it is Ray Gremory coming!

     Stab! Freed using his Excalibur Transparency, took the shot when Irina looked at the explosion, and then the Gremory Circle. And with satisfaction, Freed pulled his sword from Irina's heart, and used a flash bomb to vanish...

     Irina, seeing the blood fountain from her chest, Saw the cross that was sliced from her neck and the remaining ruby pendant given to her by Ray. Irina had one last thought before falling backwards...

     "It would have been nice to see Ray one last time, but..."

     Thud! Irina fell to her back and the light dimmed in her eyes, and only then did two Devils in the air make it in time...

-

     BOOOOOOOOOOM! The sword struck a mirror!

     Xenovia's massive strike landed on the mirror, and it sank with no real resistance, but then the same blow she made at twice the power, suddenly struck her, and she was sent flying 20 feet into a light post, bending it.

      "AHHH~! W-What is wrong with my body?!"

     Mittelt felt the backlash from her Sacred Gear being used one to many times, and then saw fine cracks spread along her body, making her feel if she was injured, she would break like broken glass, and then it happened. Just as a massive crimson portal was forming, she heard a man behind or beside her.

     "I really cannot stand you guys, why can't you let us be happy?! Loli Smasher~!"

     Bang Shatter! And with a Superman punch, Issei came out of invisibility, and blasted Mittelt into shards of glass-like broken feathers, and then he immediately ran to the fallen Xenovia to save her!

-

     As the crimson light leaves my eyes, Tsubaki and I are flying over the last location of Precious, and scan the battle. I see Saji being beaten, with Asia and Precious assisting.

     Mil-tan had defeated Pawns based on the damage around, and now, he is fighting hand to hand with Diodora's Queen, and it looks like he is winning!

     So I quickly pull out Sona's token to promote Pawns, and I say to everyone.

     "All Pawns promote, Tsubaki helps Saji, I will cover over there..."

     My eyes are blinded by a bright light, and I assume it is Freed hauling ass knowing I am here. So when my vision returned I looked to the back area of the fight and saw...

     Issei hauling ass, carrying a severely wounded Xenovia in the direction of Asia. But then I noticed two others...

     Kiba, lying on his side, holding his chest that was cut very badly by a holy weapon, and Irina lying in a pool of blood...

     My pupils shrank seeing her, because... She is very dead~! Not even one of my two Pheonix Tears can bring her back...

     Before I knew it, I had flown down to her, and picked up her still warm body. She was limp with her eyes open, and the slash on her chest, and the stab to her heart, showed how hard the fight was.

     Rumbling whoosh whoosh! With tears coming out, I try to remember my mother's words, and stop my body wanting to erupt with my Power of Destruction, but my body still is releasing my full Demonic Power, making others on the field tremble.

     While I calm, some memories pass...

-

     When I was 5 years old...

     I walked up to the girl with chestnut hair and I asked.

     "Hi, did you want to play this game? If you want, can I be your partner?"

     The little Irina with twin tails looked at me with her violet eyes, and nodded her head and said.

     "The other kids won't play with me, thank you."

     I held up my box of tokens and said to her,

     "You are the first friend I have made in Kuoh, so let me treat you to Air-Hockey."

     "Hey, my name is Ray G, what is yours?"

     She patted her forehead in embarrassment, and said with animated expressions.

     "Sorry, he-he. I was having so much fun I forgot. My name is Irina Shidou. You are the first friend I made as well."

     Just last Monday...

     Irina took off her pendant with the ruby, and tossed it to me, with a slight sadness. She said with watery eyes.

      "You said it was your's and I was holding it for you on loan, well, you have it back now."

      And the part that kills me the most...

      "Naturally, it is impossible for me to let you two die in my territory. Because if you die, I will be sad."

-

     Pheeew! After exhaling my bad turbid air, I open my eyes and hold Irina in my left arm and coldly look at the remaining enemy fighting my peerage.

     As I hold my palm up, I let my voice magnify, while I compress 7 Bullets of Annihilation.

     "Peerage of Diodora Astaroth, I Ray Gremory sentence you all to death, even if no order has come... All of you... Vanish from Kuoh!"

     """"Ah, What?!"""" "Please, Ray Gremory, have mercy on me, nooo~!"

     And to the horror of the 5 remaining Members of Diodora Astaroth, each Pawn looked at the softball-sized hole missing from their chest, as their body started to slowly turn to ash.

     While the Queen had her whole body slowly eroded by the 3 other Bullets of Annihilation, a slow and painful erosion. This was my first cold blood killing with real anger.

     Asia and the others that had already been promoted, rushed to save Kiba and Xenovia.

     Tsubaki came to my side and asked.

     "Ray... Can I do anything for you?"

     I smiled at her and shook my head, and told her.

     "Once I made a promise to never force another to become a Devil, and in order to keep my friend Irina, I have to break my vow..."

     In my right hand, a White Knight Evil Piece was summoned.
